Investors must understand this and stay patient.</li></ul><p><b>Thesis</b>:</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies Inc.</a> is an undervalued software stock especially compared to its competition. It has become oversold this past month, losing nearly 22% of its share price in the last month. What&#39;s interesting is a lot of the sellingis coming from retail investors, of which shareholder count hasdropped 8%year-over-year, but institutions have increased their holdings bynearly 10%in the same time frame. I believe the reason for this is that the institutions understand how significantly undervalued the company is, how strong their balance sheet is, and are demonstrating consistently high commercial customer growth rates.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2275f8af882cbce0d373032e7e532d8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"491\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>DCF from Simply Wall St.</p><p><b>What are the Bears and Bulls Saying About Palantir Stock?Bears Feel Really Smart Right Now</b></p><p>Palantir bears are feeling good right about now, and it is easy to see why. Palantir has been publicly traded for almost two years, and it is 26% lower in share price than the day of its DPO. Palantir bears&#39; main thesis typically is around the company diluting shareholders, which has so far been true, with shareholders being diluted over 28% since the company went DPO. The other two main bear theses that surround Palantir are:</p><ul><li>Palantir is a consulting company and most of their revenue is government-dependent. We will discuss further how this may be perceived but is incorrect.</li></ul><ul><li>The company is overvalued, not profitable, and now missing their 30% sales growth forecast. The stock does still have bears that are extremely short on the company with the short interest of the stock at nearly 7%.</li></ul><p><b>Bulls are Getting Impatient, Frustrated with Earnings, Concerned About Thesis</b></p><p>Palantir bulls rightfully are frustrated with the company&#39;s latest earnings results and are concerned about the stock reaching their initial long-term expectations. This company had retail investors screaming from the rooftops that this is a trillion-dollar market cap stock in the making. Palantir has a very large retail investor following totaling nearly 52% of all shares, and this group of investors has been very vocal on their feelings of disappointment and concern.</p><p>All you have to do is search for Palantir articles onSeeking Alpha, check the Reddit boards, type $PLTR in Twitter, or watch the hundreds of videos posted on YouTube about the stock. Now in full transparency, I am a retail investor of Palantir, and this is my number one stock holding. I too have aYouTube Channeland podcast on investing, and over45 videos on the stock, as I am very bullish on the stock.</p><p>However, I am very objective in my perspective on this company and am aware of the risks and rewards it could present. My time horizon for this stock is at least 10 to 20yrs, as long as my thesis is intact. Once a thesis is broken, I have to truly reconsider my position in a stock and if it is time to get out. I will share my fair criticisms and risks surrounding this stock but also, why the stock is undervalued at the moment and requires patience and perspective to reap the rewards I believe it will deliver.</p><p><b>How Much Risk Does Palantir Stock Present?</b></p><p>The definition of risk is to have something valued that is exposed to danger, harm, or loss. If Palantir was your only stock that you held in your portfolio, I would agree you have a lot of risk in this stock. However, if you have a well-diversified portfolio, a time horizon longer than five years, and just want to beat the market average in those five-plus years, then there is limited risk in Palantir in my opinion.</p><p>Palantir is a stock not for short-term shareholders, nor one for the faint of heart, as it is very volatile, and not for investors who cannot get over the management style of the company. This stock holds a beta of 1.82, meaning when Palantir&#39;s stock fluctuates up or down it is almost 2x the size of what the market average is.</p><p>This reason, and the lack of profitability Palantir has currently, is why institutional investor holdings are not over 50% just yet. It is also the reason the retail investing community has gotten frustrated from the whiplash their shares have taken. The risks are different for every investor when it comes to Palantir or any stock because everyone&#39;s situation is unique. Therefore, it is important to know yourself as an investor why you are investing, understand your risk-tolerance, and when you need the money. If you have patience, can dollar-cost average during a long-term horizon, understand the nature of Palantir&#39;s customers, and business model, then you will not consider it risky to be a Palantir shareholder.</p><p>I believe the Institutional Investor Community is understanding these things more and more, and as a result, the number of institutional shares held since December 2020 has increased over 3.5x!</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/52ae4a5ae1b792298aeb9fa0942f8dae\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Institutional Holdings from Fintel.io</p><p><b>The Ugly</b></p><p>Let me begin by saying I was disappointed by the Q2 2022 earnings results, considering the revenue they achieved was what they said their base case was for Q2 expectations during Q1. Palantir also made this their third quarter in a row missing analysts&#39; expectations on earnings. I don&#39;t care who you are in the stock market, three misses in a row never provide analysts or investors additional confidence in your company.</p><p>I also was not a fan of how leadership conducted themselves on the earnings call, getting short with those asking questions and sharing that some of their customers do not even like them but must use them because their product is that good. It is one thing to be overly confident or even slightly arrogant on an earnings call if you are exceeding all expectations, but it is a totally different one when performance has been consistently declining in different areas.</p><p>Management dropped their commitment for 30% annual growth in 2022 and dropped a bomb on investors whenCEO Alex Karp said2025 is when the company will reach profitability. The company is growing their government revenue 13% year-over-year, but this metric has decreased five quarters in a row, leaving much concern for investors. Palantir also had to take a loss of over $135M for their losses from their SPAC investments.</p><p>The sequential decline in stock-based compensation was only 2% less than the previous quarter and was $145.7M. Palantir had a net loss of $179.3M for their Q2 2022 performance, because of all these factors and due to significant government revenue pushing out due to timing of government budgets and deal cycles.</p><p><b>It is All About Perspective, Patience, and Expectations</b></p><p>I believe the short-term expectations of Palantir stock have been over-zealous from myself, other retail investors, and institutional investors. In my opinion, there are several reasons expectations got out of hand quickly, and perspective was lost. Here are the main reasons listed below:</p><ul><li>The amazing capabilities of Palantir&#39;s software and outcomes it has proven already in the government sector.</li></ul><ul><li>The wild success this non-government entity had selling to the U.S. and other western allied governments for nearly 17 years before coming public.</li></ul><ul><li>The salesmanship of Alex Karp and the ability to keep this company generating meaningful revenue annually without a salesforce.</li></ul><ul><li>Being co-founded by Peter Thiel, one of the world&#39;s greatest private investors and former founder of PayPal. He also is the largest insider shareholder at 7% of all shares.</li></ul><p>Now let&#39;s bring everything into perspective for both the bears and bulls for this stock. There are some fundamental truths concerning this stock and company right now, starting with the stock being undervalued from a price-to sales ratio of 9, which is significantly lower than its peers both in price to free cash flow as well as revenue per employee and revenue per customer. Below you can see C3.ai (AI) and Alteryx (AYX) do not even produce free cash flow, and Snowflake (SNOW) is over 3x more expensive regarding price to free cash flow than Palantir.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/246909b571268c0cc29bc3a7d39f9a24\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"877\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>PLTR Price to Free Cash Flow data by YCharts</p><p>The government revenue is not always going to be decelerating as government spending goes in cycles and is very lumpy in nature. This past July, a record-breaking Department of Defense budget was approved by the senate this year for$858 billionand is projected to grow to an annual budget of $1 trillion by 2026. These past seven months we have had the war between Russia and Ukraine going on, with Palantir assisting the country of Ukraine any way they can with their Gotham &amp; Foundry platforms. I believe there could be increased opportunity for Palantir to be able to assist other NATO countries in the defense against Russia with their software.</p><p>As stated, before Palantir has an exceptionalbalance sheetand is building their company their way, whether investors like it or not. The reassuring thing is they have plenty of assets and cash to get to the $4.5 billion annual revenue goal in 2025. The company is seeing significant growth in its U.S. commercial business, and it was the diamond in the rough for their Q2 FY22 earnings report.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d2ca285fd940aa59d1fc83504bc2f78\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"354\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Q2 2022 Financial Earnings Report</p><p>We can see the inflation the European countries are going through is significant and it has impacted the commercial customer growth outside the United States for Palantir. This past Monday, September 5th, the Euro dropped below 99 U.S. cents for the first time in over 20 years and the latest inflation rate was 9.1%. I bring this up because when you look at the 20 net new commercial customers Palantir acquired in Q2, only three of them were outside the United States.</p><p><b>What to Watch for With Palantir</b></p><p>There may still be some short-term turbulence for growth stocks like Palantir, with more interest rate hikes to come globally, including in the United States. However, Palantir&#39;s balance sheet is a flawless fortress for the company to stand on and grow their business while other companies are letting go employees. Palantir plans on having a 25% growth in employee headcount completed by the end of 2022! This is just one of many indicators that we could see Palantir hitting an inflection point for their business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ffc2feed0b7b1533f2c6e5923279f077\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Q2 2022 Financial Earnings Presentation</p><p>Remember, the ramp-up time is anywhere between 9-12 months for new Palantir sales employees, so we won&#39;t see the true benefits of the sales reps hired today until next year. Another indicator is Palantir has received significantly increased institutional investing since being a public company these past two years, as stated earlier. We know there is a finite amount of losses Palantir can achieve on their remaining SPAC investments and that negative hit to the operating income will be gone.</p><p>This company is not perfect by any means, and I believe you should never &#34;marry&#34; a stock but invest in your thesis and the fundamentals of a business. I believe based off the fundamentals of Palantir&#39;s business and where its share price is today, the stock is very undervalued for long-term investors. You also have to really understand how your company makes money and how their business model operates. Remember, Palantir has a three-tiered business model of (acquire, expand, scale) in which they invest in the customer upfront and ensure their problems get solved with the software and value is realized quickly. This is still a complex process that requires a forward engineer and some hand-holding for this process to be a success. Most of their customers don&#39;t yield a lot of revenue and profits until they reach the scale phase, but when they do the growth is exponential in nature, and switching costs are much higher due to how entrenched the customer is in the platform.</p><p>I will be looking out for continued commercial customer growth in the next few quarters that mimics what they have achieved previously. You will want to check to see at the end of the year if their revenues for each tier of their business model grew year-over-year. I am also expecting better government revenues in 2023, as the new government budget will be in effect then. I also want to see some sort of freemium model come out to increase the number of developers using the Foundry platform, or a major expansion on Foundry for Builders (their program for net new potential customers). Lastly, I would like to see more participation in technology conferences and publicizing the effectiveness of their software platform. Overall, I believe we see improvement in the share price and opportunities for Palantir to succeed in the long term.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Palantir: Undervalued Stock, But Perspective And Patience Are Required</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\">\nPalantir: Undervalued Stock, But Perspective And Patience Are Required\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-13 14:04 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4540470-palantir-undervalued-stock-but-perspective-and-patience-are-required><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryInvestors are frustrated with Palantir’s first half of 2022 results but are forgetting some key metrics that indicate the market is overreacting and growth is ahead for the stock.Palantir is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4540470-palantir-undervalued-stock-but-perspective-and-patience-are-required\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4540470-palantir-undervalued-stock-but-perspective-and-patience-are-required","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1190990790","content_text":"SummaryInvestors are frustrated with Palantir’s first half of 2022 results but are forgetting some key metrics that indicate the market is overreacting and growth is ahead for the stock.Palantir is oversold and undervalued, with a much lower price-to-sales ratio and price-to-free cash flow than its competitors.Leadership has estimated profitability will not be reached until 2025, yet Palantir could be profitable much sooner if government revenue regains growth and SBC continues to decrease.The bleeding losses of operating income from previous SPAC investments are almost over.Palantir’s leadership team is determined to grow their business their way and on their own time horizon. Investors must understand this and stay patient.Thesis:Palantir Technologies Inc. is an undervalued software stock especially compared to its competition. It has become oversold this past month, losing nearly 22% of its share price in the last month. What's interesting is a lot of the sellingis coming from retail investors, of which shareholder count hasdropped 8%year-over-year, but institutions have increased their holdings bynearly 10%in the same time frame. I believe the reason for this is that the institutions understand how significantly undervalued the company is, how strong their balance sheet is, and are demonstrating consistently high commercial customer growth rates.DCF from Simply Wall St.What are the Bears and Bulls Saying About Palantir Stock?Bears Feel Really Smart Right NowPalantir bears are feeling good right about now, and it is easy to see why. Palantir has been publicly traded for almost two years, and it is 26% lower in share price than the day of its DPO. Palantir bears' main thesis typically is around the company diluting shareholders, which has so far been true, with shareholders being diluted over 28% since the company went DPO. The other two main bear theses that surround Palantir are:Palantir is a consulting company and most of their revenue is government-dependent. We will discuss further how this may be perceived but is incorrect.The company is overvalued, not profitable, and now missing their 30% sales growth forecast. The stock does still have bears that are extremely short on the company with the short interest of the stock at nearly 7%.Bulls are Getting Impatient, Frustrated with Earnings, Concerned About ThesisPalantir bulls rightfully are frustrated with the company's latest earnings results and are concerned about the stock reaching their initial long-term expectations. This company had retail investors screaming from the rooftops that this is a trillion-dollar market cap stock in the making. Palantir has a very large retail investor following totaling nearly 52% of all shares, and this group of investors has been very vocal on their feelings of disappointment and concern.All you have to do is search for Palantir articles onSeeking Alpha, check the Reddit boards, type $PLTR in Twitter, or watch the hundreds of videos posted on YouTube about the stock. Now in full transparency, I am a retail investor of Palantir, and this is my number one stock holding. I too have aYouTube Channeland podcast on investing, and over45 videos on the stock, as I am very bullish on the stock.However, I am very objective in my perspective on this company and am aware of the risks and rewards it could present. My time horizon for this stock is at least 10 to 20yrs, as long as my thesis is intact. Once a thesis is broken, I have to truly reconsider my position in a stock and if it is time to get out. I will share my fair criticisms and risks surrounding this stock but also, why the stock is undervalued at the moment and requires patience and perspective to reap the rewards I believe it will deliver.How Much Risk Does Palantir Stock Present?The definition of risk is to have something valued that is exposed to danger, harm, or loss. If Palantir was your only stock that you held in your portfolio, I would agree you have a lot of risk in this stock. However, if you have a well-diversified portfolio, a time horizon longer than five years, and just want to beat the market average in those five-plus years, then there is limited risk in Palantir in my opinion.Palantir is a stock not for short-term shareholders, nor one for the faint of heart, as it is very volatile, and not for investors who cannot get over the management style of the company. This stock holds a beta of 1.82, meaning when Palantir's stock fluctuates up or down it is almost 2x the size of what the market average is.This reason, and the lack of profitability Palantir has currently, is why institutional investor holdings are not over 50% just yet. It is also the reason the retail investing community has gotten frustrated from the whiplash their shares have taken. The risks are different for every investor when it comes to Palantir or any stock because everyone's situation is unique. Therefore, it is important to know yourself as an investor why you are investing, understand your risk-tolerance, and when you need the money. If you have patience, can dollar-cost average during a long-term horizon, understand the nature of Palantir's customers, and business model, then you will not consider it risky to be a Palantir shareholder.I believe the Institutional Investor Community is understanding these things more and more, and as a result, the number of institutional shares held since December 2020 has increased over 3.5x!Institutional Holdings from Fintel.ioThe UglyLet me begin by saying I was disappointed by the Q2 2022 earnings results, considering the revenue they achieved was what they said their base case was for Q2 expectations during Q1. Palantir also made this their third quarter in a row missing analysts' expectations on earnings. I don't care who you are in the stock market, three misses in a row never provide analysts or investors additional confidence in your company.I also was not a fan of how leadership conducted themselves on the earnings call, getting short with those asking questions and sharing that some of their customers do not even like them but must use them because their product is that good. It is one thing to be overly confident or even slightly arrogant on an earnings call if you are exceeding all expectations, but it is a totally different one when performance has been consistently declining in different areas.Management dropped their commitment for 30% annual growth in 2022 and dropped a bomb on investors whenCEO Alex Karp said2025 is when the company will reach profitability. The company is growing their government revenue 13% year-over-year, but this metric has decreased five quarters in a row, leaving much concern for investors. Palantir also had to take a loss of over $135M for their losses from their SPAC investments.The sequential decline in stock-based compensation was only 2% less than the previous quarter and was $145.7M. Palantir had a net loss of $179.3M for their Q2 2022 performance, because of all these factors and due to significant government revenue pushing out due to timing of government budgets and deal cycles.It is All About Perspective, Patience, and ExpectationsI believe the short-term expectations of Palantir stock have been over-zealous from myself, other retail investors, and institutional investors. In my opinion, there are several reasons expectations got out of hand quickly, and perspective was lost. Here are the main reasons listed below:The amazing capabilities of Palantir's software and outcomes it has proven already in the government sector.The wild success this non-government entity had selling to the U.S. and other western allied governments for nearly 17 years before coming public.The salesmanship of Alex Karp and the ability to keep this company generating meaningful revenue annually without a salesforce.Being co-founded by Peter Thiel, one of the world's greatest private investors and former founder of PayPal. He also is the largest insider shareholder at 7% of all shares.Now let's bring everything into perspective for both the bears and bulls for this stock. There are some fundamental truths concerning this stock and company right now, starting with the stock being undervalued from a price-to sales ratio of 9, which is significantly lower than its peers both in price to free cash flow as well as revenue per employee and revenue per customer. Below you can see C3.ai (AI) and Alteryx (AYX) do not even produce free cash flow, and Snowflake (SNOW) is over 3x more expensive regarding price to free cash flow than Palantir.PLTR Price to Free Cash Flow data by YChartsThe government revenue is not always going to be decelerating as government spending goes in cycles and is very lumpy in nature. This past July, a record-breaking Department of Defense budget was approved by the senate this year for$858 billionand is projected to grow to an annual budget of $1 trillion by 2026. These past seven months we have had the war between Russia and Ukraine going on, with Palantir assisting the country of Ukraine any way they can with their Gotham & Foundry platforms. I believe there could be increased opportunity for Palantir to be able to assist other NATO countries in the defense against Russia with their software.As stated, before Palantir has an exceptionalbalance sheetand is building their company their way, whether investors like it or not. The reassuring thing is they have plenty of assets and cash to get to the $4.5 billion annual revenue goal in 2025. The company is seeing significant growth in its U.S. commercial business, and it was the diamond in the rough for their Q2 FY22 earnings report.Q2 2022 Financial Earnings ReportWe can see the inflation the European countries are going through is significant and it has impacted the commercial customer growth outside the United States for Palantir. This past Monday, September 5th, the Euro dropped below 99 U.S. cents for the first time in over 20 years and the latest inflation rate was 9.1%. I bring this up because when you look at the 20 net new commercial customers Palantir acquired in Q2, only three of them were outside the United States.What to Watch for With PalantirThere may still be some short-term turbulence for growth stocks like Palantir, with more interest rate hikes to come globally, including in the United States. However, Palantir's balance sheet is a flawless fortress for the company to stand on and grow their business while other companies are letting go employees. Palantir plans on having a 25% growth in employee headcount completed by the end of 2022! This is just one of many indicators that we could see Palantir hitting an inflection point for their business.Q2 2022 Financial Earnings PresentationRemember, the ramp-up time is anywhere between 9-12 months for new Palantir sales employees, so we won't see the true benefits of the sales reps hired today until next year. Another indicator is Palantir has received significantly increased institutional investing since being a public company these past two years, as stated earlier. We know there is a finite amount of losses Palantir can achieve on their remaining SPAC investments and that negative hit to the operating income will be gone.This company is not perfect by any means, and I believe you should never \"marry\" a stock but invest in your thesis and the fundamentals of a business. I believe based off the fundamentals of Palantir's business and where its share price is today, the stock is very undervalued for long-term investors. You also have to really understand how your company makes money and how their business model operates. Remember, Palantir has a three-tiered business model of (acquire, expand, scale) in which they invest in the customer upfront and ensure their problems get solved with the software and value is realized quickly. This is still a complex process that requires a forward engineer and some hand-holding for this process to be a success. Most of their customers don't yield a lot of revenue and profits until they reach the scale phase, but when they do the growth is exponential in nature, and switching costs are much higher due to how entrenched the customer is in the platform.I will be looking out for continued commercial customer growth in the next few quarters that mimics what they have achieved previously. You will want to check to see at the end of the year if their revenues for each tier of their business model grew year-over-year. I am also expecting better government revenues in 2023, as the new government budget will be in effect then. I also want to see some sort of freemium model come out to increase the number of developers using the Foundry platform, or a major expansion on Foundry for Builders (their program for net new potential customers). Lastly, I would like to see more participation in technology conferences and publicizing the effectiveness of their software platform. Overall, I believe we see improvement in the share price and opportunities for Palantir to succeed in the long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9934236784,"gmtCreate":1663252976548,"gmtModify":1676537237361,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Monitor 1st on the downtrend.&nbsp;","listText":"Monitor 1st on the downtrend.&nbsp;","text":"Monitor 1st on the downtrend.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9934236784","repostId":"1129278199","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129278199","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":1663248804,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129278199?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-15 21:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stocks Slide at the Open As Traders Weigh Latest Batch of Economic Data, Inflation Concerns","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129278199","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stocks fell on Thursday as investors mulled over several economic reports that showed a muddy p","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stocks fell on Thursday as investors mulled over several economic reports that showed a muddy picture of the U.S. economy.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked down 60 points, or 0.2%.

We believe the financial conditions have already tightened broadly enough across the U.S. economy to cause a shallow recession at the end of this year or the beginning of next,” Chris Senyek of Wolfe Research said in a note to clients. “Financial conditions will tighten even further as the Fed and other central banks continue to hike rates and pursue [quantitative tightening] in the months ahead.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":297,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4103864033944460","authorId":"4103864033944460","name":"PaperPlay","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f9bd8cbd182d6cb24667a31115671409","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4103864033944460","authorIdStr":"4103864033944460"},"content":"2022 proven the stability of diversification & careful approach to invest but still having liquidity","text":"2022 proven the stability of diversification & careful approach to invest but still having liquidity","html":"2022 proven the stability of diversification & careful approach to invest but still having liquidity"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9905295843,"gmtCreate":1659889172305,"gmtModify":1703767380615,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Have to be patient and wait.

The commercial segment happens to be the smaller one out of the two, at least in terms of revenue, and amounted to nearly 46% of the company&#39;s total sales last quarter.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6c26bc211b592883ccfc648d76d754f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"545\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>Thanks to the rapid commercial customer adds in recent quarters, Palantir&#39;s commercial revenue has been growing at a breakneck pace of late and driving growth for the company as a whole. I expect this dynamic to continue in Q2 as well, with commercial revenue growing 10% sequentially and amounting to $225 million during Q2 2022.</p><p>The government segment contributed a little over 54% to Palantir&#39;s overall sales last quarter and the revenue stream has been growing at a relatively slower pace. This is, in part, due to the saturation in government customer additions as seen in the first section of this article. If the company&#39;s government customer base has saturated, then it&#39;s only natural that its government revenue stream would saturate as well.</p><p>What exacerbates the problem is that the inflow of federal government contracts has considerably slowed down in the last 2 quarters. Although Palantir&#39;s management noted in their last earnings call that they are &#34;seeing an acceleration of our U.S. government revenue&#34;, the ground reality isn&#39;t all that encouraging. As it turns out, the dollar-value of new orders signed with various US government agencies during Q2, is up 14% sequentially but still down 48% year over year. This means that even though Palantir has made some progress on this front, there&#39;s still a long way to go when compared to the company&#39;s own prior history with government contract wins.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/513e837064ffbf5b6adf1084eda3110b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"456\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>So, as far as Q2 is concerned, I expect Palantir&#39;s government revenue to grow marginally by 3% sequentially, with its revenue figure coming in at approximately $249 million. At this pace, I expect Palantir&#39;s commercial revenue to overtake its government revenue and become the leading contributor to the entire company&#39;s top line sometime in Q4 2022 or Q1 2023. But coming back to our discussion, this brings us to a company-wide revenue estimate of $474.1 million. My forecast is coincidentally in-line with the Street&#39;sestimatesthat are spanning from $470 million to $475.9 million.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a64133285cdbea23e36084f025bdfe2b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"209\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>But having said that, pay close attention to Palantir management&#39;s revenue and billings outlook for Q3. As companies and government agencies across the globe cut down on spending, Palantir might be affected as well. This could come in the form of order cancellations, deferred contract signings and/or slowing down revenue growth. So, look for management&#39;s comments on their growth momentum.</p><p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p>Palantir&#39;s shares are down 62% from their 52-week highs and they&#39;re now attractively valued at current levels. The stock is trading at 14-times its trailing twelve-month sales at the time of this writing, which is more or less in-line with many of the other rapidly growing software infrastructure stocks.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54f28bcdbe209a2f5851224c7db57676\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"349\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>I, personally, expect Palantir to continue growing rapidly in the next 2 years at the very least.

But, at the same time, I would recommend readers and investors to remain vigilant and monitor its customer additions, billings growth, segment financials and its management&#39;s outlook for Q3. These items will indicate if Palantir is succumbing to macroeconomic pressures or if its growth momentum remains intact.

As its ecosystem imploded, the value of LUNA and UST tokens plummeted, quickly wiping out around $40 billion of value. Even established players like Binance and Galaxy Digital lost money.</p><p>It is heartbreaking to read the accounts of people who suffered when the Anchor protocol disintegrated. Anchor promised interest rates of almost 20% on UST deposits, but many investors were not aware of the risks involved. According to a Twitter survey, some people lost their life savings. Indeed, 87% of those who lost money said it had severely impacted their mental health.</p><p>Crypto investors have a lot to deal with at the moment. Prices have been trending downward for over six months and many people have seen the value of their portfolios halve or more. The LUNA crash showed that even a top 10 crypto can disintegrate in a short space of time. Here are some lessons we can all learn from recent events.</p><p><b>1. Only invest money you can afford to lose</b></p><p>The golden rule is to never invest money you need. These are high risk and often experimental investments and while you may hope for high returns, you also need to be prepared for collapse. A lot of successful crypto investing is about risk management. For example, make sure crypto only makes up a small part of your overall investment portfolio. And within your crypto investments, don&#39;t go all in on any individual altcoin, no matter how promising it sounds.</p><p><b>2. Don&#39;t trust things that sound too good to be true</b></p><p>There are all kinds of incredible offers in the world of crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi). For example, some decentralized exchanges offer yield farms with APYs of over 100%. And many DeFi protocols offer much higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts. Be cautious as you can often lose money on these platforms.</p><p>For example, people trusted Terra&#39;s much publicized 20% interest rate on the Anchor protocol. The trouble was that it couldn&#39;t sustain it. The high APY wasn&#39;t what caused LUNA and UST to enter a death spiral, but the whole system was built on flawed fundamentals. Don&#39;t assume crypto is somehow magic and the normal rules of finance don&#39;t apply. If an APY is extraordinarily high, find out why before you invest.</p><p><b>3. There&#39;s no consumer protection in crypto</b></p><p>Savers used to the world of traditional finance could be forgiven for assuming the worst thing that could happen with the Anchor protocol was that the APY would fall. Unfortunately, it’s now become clear, that&#39;s not the case. The worst thing that can happen in crypto is you lose everything. DeFi platforms are not a good place to put your life savings.</p><p>The cryptocurrency industry can be the wild west and the protections that have taken decades to evolve in the normal financial world don&#39;t exist. In traditional banking, for example, your account is protected by FDIC insurance for up to $250,000 per account. If the bank fails, the FDIC will ensure you get your money back. People talk about the benefits of becoming your own bank, but they don&#39;t talk as much about the downsides. When things go wrong, you&#39;re on your own.</p><p><b>Bottom line</b></p><p>Cryptocurrencies might outperform the market in the coming decades, but there are no guarantees. So prioritize other financial goals such as your emergency fund, debt payments, and retirement savings. Most of all, don&#39;t be deceived by professional-looking crypto exchanges and platforms.

As its ecosystem imploded, the value of LUNA and UST tokens plummeted, quickly wiping out around $40 billion of value. Even established players like Binance and Galaxy Digital lost money.It is heartbreaking to read the accounts of people who suffered when the Anchor protocol disintegrated. Anchor promised interest rates of almost 20% on UST deposits, but many investors were not aware of the risks involved. According to a Twitter survey, some people lost their life savings. Indeed, 87% of those who lost money said it had severely impacted their mental health.Crypto investors have a lot to deal with at the moment. Prices have been trending downward for over six months and many people have seen the value of their portfolios halve or more. The LUNA crash showed that even a top 10 crypto can disintegrate in a short space of time. Here are some lessons we can all learn from recent events.1. Only invest money you can afford to loseThe golden rule is to never invest money you need. These are high risk and often experimental investments and while you may hope for high returns, you also need to be prepared for collapse. A lot of successful crypto investing is about risk management. For example, make sure crypto only makes up a small part of your overall investment portfolio. And within your crypto investments, don't go all in on any individual altcoin, no matter how promising it sounds.2. Don't trust things that sound too good to be trueThere are all kinds of incredible offers in the world of crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi). For example, some decentralized exchanges offer yield farms with APYs of over 100%. And many DeFi protocols offer much higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts. Be cautious as you can often lose money on these platforms.For example, people trusted Terra's much publicized 20% interest rate on the Anchor protocol. The trouble was that it couldn't sustain it. The high APY wasn't what caused LUNA and UST to enter a death spiral, but the whole system was built on flawed fundamentals. Don't assume crypto is somehow magic and the normal rules of finance don't apply. If an APY is extraordinarily high, find out why before you invest.3. There's no consumer protection in cryptoSavers used to the world of traditional finance could be forgiven for assuming the worst thing that could happen with the Anchor protocol was that the APY would fall. Unfortunately, it’s now become clear, that's not the case. The worst thing that can happen in crypto is you lose everything. DeFi platforms are not a good place to put your life savings.The cryptocurrency industry can be the wild west and the protections that have taken decades to evolve in the normal financial world don't exist. In traditional banking, for example, your account is protected by FDIC insurance for up to $250,000 per account. If the bank fails, the FDIC will ensure you get your money back. People talk about the benefits of becoming your own bank, but they don't talk as much about the downsides. When things go wrong, you're on your own.Bottom lineCryptocurrencies might outperform the market in the coming decades, but there are no guarantees. So prioritize other financial goals such as your emergency fund, debt payments, and retirement savings. Most of all, don't be deceived by professional-looking crypto exchanges and platforms. Blockchain technology is still in its infancy, and many parts of the DeFi market can be incredibly risky.Do as much research as you can on any individual crypto before you invest, and don't assume that a project is safe just because it has a high market cap. The best way to invest in cryptocurrency is to position yourself to benefit from any gains, but insulate yourself against losses. Hopefully that means you'll never be in a position where you face financial devastation because the crypto market crashed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":289,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9024799942,"gmtCreate":1653919831286,"gmtModify":1676535362595,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Must monitor&nbsp;","listText":"Must monitor&nbsp;","text":"Must monitor","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9024799942","repostId":"2238520329","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2238520329","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1653912407,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2238520329?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-30 20:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Web3 Was Supposed to Save the Internet.

Among crypto start-ups, investment is harder to come by, and valuations are falling. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a> forecasts that failure rates will rise.</p><p>Crypto fans talking up Web3 as a revolution face pushback from critics who see it as a marketing gimmick. In the end, Web3 is likely to fall somewhere in between.</p><p>&#34;We may have to go through <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> or two hype cycles before the most important elements of the technology break through,&#34; says Gavin Wood, a co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain and head of another blockchain enterprise called Polkadot. As he sees it, Web3 today is where the internet was in 1998 -- early in its adoption but with vast potential and boom-bust cycles ahead.</p><p>&#34;Web3 is the next generation of the internet with capabilities that go well beyond what we have today,&#34; says Mark Palmer, a digital-asset analyst at brokerage BTIG. &#34;But the citizenry is not rising up to overthrow Web2.&#34;</p><p>Understanding Web3 requires a dip in the hot-tub time machine. Web1, the first generation from the 1990s, was based on static pages and directories that served as the first internet indexes. Web1&#39;s dial-up services, browsers, and banner ads evolved into the more modern internet, which came to be known as Web2. Companies like Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">$(MSFT)$</a> now oversee the core of our web experiences. Walled gardens like Instagram, YouTube, and Apple&#39;s App Store prevail. Digital assets like videogame avatars and social-media followings sit on platforms owned by the giants.</p><p>In some ways, Web3 aims to turn back the clock, cutting out the intermediaries and dispersing apps, services, and digital assets on decentralized networks like Ethereum and other blockchains. Today, those networks are primarily used for trading and lending crypto assets, including new varieties like nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, and stablecoins, which are designed to maintain a fixed value.</p><p>But all sorts of other financial products and services could live on blockchains, potentially reducing the economic friction now associated with cross-border payments and transaction fees for goods and services. &#34;Blockchains have the potential to clear and settle transactions in a much more efficient way than traditional technology,&#34; says Sarah Hammer, an adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School who specializes in crypto.</p><p>One example of Web3 already in practice is Filecoin, a crypto-powered storage network. Rather than storing files on cloud-based servers -- where they are ultimately controlled by a handful of big-tech operators -- they can be distributed and encrypted on personal hard drives with spare capacity. Testimonies of Holocaust and other genocide survivors are being preserved through Filecoin.</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s like Airbnb for file storage,&#34; says Marta Belcher, president and chair of the Filecoin Foundation. &#34;If you have extra space on your hard drive, you can rent it out. We think of it as the foundation for the next generation of the internet.&#34;</p><p>Filecoin may just scratch the surface of decentralized technologies. Projects like Helium aim to challenge telecom networks by distributing long-range Wi-Fi hot spots to individuals, giving financial incentives and payments for data traffic in tokens. NFTs allow for property rights, licensing agreements, and royalties to be traced and tracked. That opens up avenues for NFTs to become conduits for things like mortgages, car ownership titles, diplomas, and concert tickets. &#34;There&#39;s an infinite number of things you can do with a computer, and that&#39;s equivalent to what you can do with an NFT,&#34; says Gui Karyo, chief information officer of Dapper Labs, a leading NFT company.</p><p>Ideally, Web3 advocates say, the technology will lay the foundations for a more egalitarian web where the &#34;rents&#34; now charged by intermediaries will be more widely distributed. &#34;We should be moving to an internet where your digital property rights are genuine -- you&#39;re not a serf on Jack Dorsey&#39;s or Mark Zuckerberg&#39;s plantation; you own your homestead,&#34; says Nic Carter, a venture-capital investor in Web3 start-ups at Castle Island Ventures.</p><p>Silicon Valley&#39;s biggest and most successful venture-capital firms are investing heavily. &#34;Programmable blockchains are sufficiently advanced, and a diverse range of apps have reached tens of millions of users,&#34; a16z&#39;s Dixon said in a post this past week. Tokens also give users &#34;property rights: the ability to own a piece of the internet,&#34; he said in an previous post on Web3.</p><p>Web3 overlaps with the metaverse, another of tech&#39;s hottest topics before the recent selloff. The metaverse foresees a new internet based on virtual realities, online avatars, and new ways for people to socialize and work.</p><p>Facebook rebranded itself as Meta Platforms, betting that its Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp could become Web2 relics without help from blockchains, cryptos, and NFTs, which could grant consumers more control of their digital lives. Meta is now working on incorporating NFTs into Instagram. The currencies of digital worlds, whether for gaming, social, or e-commerce, are likely to be stablecoins -- digital tokens aimed at holding a peg to a dollar.</p><p>Yet Facebook&#39;s move is a reminder that the Web2 giants aren&#39;t sitting still. In the end, Web3 is unlikely to displace them. Indeed, there&#39;s good reason to think Web3 won&#39;t be all that decentralized. For one, it&#39;s being funded by many of the same entities that built Web2.</p><p>A16z, formally called Andreessen Horowitz, was an early investor in many Web2 stalwarts, including Facebook, Box, Lyft, and Pinterest.</p><p>Now, the firm owns stakes in dozens of crypto start-ups, including OpenSea and Dapper Labs, along with decentralized-finance, or DeFi, platforms including Ava Labs, Uniswap Labs, dYdX, and Compound. These DeFi platforms consist of &#34;smart contracts&#34; that set the conditions of a trade, cutting out intermediaries like a brokerage or centralized exchange.</p><p>VC firms aren&#39;t making investments based on sheer goodwill. They expect returns on capital and are likely to maintain stakes through token ownership or warrants. The platforms themselves may be decentralized, in the sense that anyone with some technical skills can write a &#34;permissionless&#34; smart contract and execute a trade without a broker/dealer. But that doesn&#39;t mean the platform isn&#39;t owned or governed by a corporate entity.</p><p>That rubs some tech gurus the wrong way. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> co-founder Jack Dorsey stirred up an online frenzy last December when he tweeted, &#34;You don&#39;t own &#39;web3.&#39; The VCs and their LPs do,&#34; referring to venture-capital firms and their investors known as limited partners. &#34;It&#39;s ultimately a centralized entity with a different label.&#34;</p><p>Representatives for Dorsey and a16z declined to comment.</p><p>Crypto is proving enticing to VC firms partly because of the attractive &#34;tokenomics.&#34; For a traditional VC deal, the path from initial funding to exit usually takes five to seven years. In crypto, that timeline can be compressed to just two years, with VCs exiting their investment when a token goes live on an exchange or takes off on a DeFi platform.</p><p>&#34;You have a very short time to liquidity -- often it&#39;s like 24 months -- so even if the business doesn&#39;t pan out, you can still exit,&#34; says Carter. &#34;That&#39;s why crypto is so popular with VCs; even your losers can get liquidity, and you can exit before a product comes out.&#34;</p><p>The nebulous nature of Web3 is also alluring for early backers. &#34;There&#39;s no definition, and that&#39;s deliberate,&#34; says Carter, who backs crypto start-ups. &#34;If something is poorly defined, as an entrepreneur you can claim you&#39;re building it even if you&#39;re not. The lack of codification works to the benefit of people in the industry.&#34;</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Web3 Was Supposed to Save the Internet.

Web3, as it became known, was poised to recapture the 1990s promise of a decentralized internet, free from gatekeepers and trillion-dollar platforms.Cryptocurrencies had the starring role in the Web3 dream. Crypto, in theory, could wrest control from giants like Meta Platforms (ticker: FB), Alphabet $(GOOGL)$, Amazon.com $(AMZN)$, and Apple $(AAPL)$. It would shift our online activities to blockchains -- handling everything from payments and trading to videogaming, social media, even real estate. It could also shift the economics to users, giving them financial incentives to govern and secure the networks.A record $25 billion was plowed into crypto start-ups last year, with another $30 billion on track for this year, according to Bank of America. Even the recent downturn in crypto doesn't seem to have chilled new investment. This past week, venture-capital firm a16z announced a new crypto fund totaling $4.5 billion.\"We think we are now entering the golden era of web3,\" a16z partner Chris Dixon wrote in announcing the investment.And yet Web3 remains a heavy lift -- it's full of contradictions, glitchy technology, regulatory uncertainty, and competing economic interests. There's debate over who will \"own\" it -- companies backed by Silicon Valley venture capital, or the users themselves. And the crypto markets' downturn -- wiping out more than $1 trillion in value for tokens this year -- makes a blockchain-based web even harder to fathom.In the near term, Web3 may be a casualty of a tech backlash that has sent the Nasdaq Composite index down more than 25% this year. Crypto-related stocks have tanked, including Coinbase Global $(COIN)$ and Microstrategy $(MSTR)$, and payment apps Block (SQ) and PayPal Holdings (PYPL). Among crypto start-ups, investment is harder to come by, and valuations are falling. Morgan Stanley forecasts that failure rates will rise.Crypto fans talking up Web3 as a revolution face pushback from critics who see it as a marketing gimmick. In the end, Web3 is likely to fall somewhere in between.\"We may have to go through one or two hype cycles before the most important elements of the technology break through,\" says Gavin Wood, a co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain and head of another blockchain enterprise called Polkadot. As he sees it, Web3 today is where the internet was in 1998 -- early in its adoption but with vast potential and boom-bust cycles ahead.\"Web3 is the next generation of the internet with capabilities that go well beyond what we have today,\" says Mark Palmer, a digital-asset analyst at brokerage BTIG. \"But the citizenry is not rising up to overthrow Web2.\"Understanding Web3 requires a dip in the hot-tub time machine.

Investors have known about Covid-related production problems in China for weeks. Covid lockdowns in Shanghai, for instance, shut Tesla’s plant in the area for weeks, costing Tesla (TSLA) perhaps 15,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2022. Tesla ended up delivering about 310,000 vehicles, just up from the 309,000 delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.</p><p>Li Auto (LI) delivered 4,167 vehicles in April, down from about 11,000 delivered in March and down from about 5,500 delivered in April 2021.</p><p>Looking ahead, Wall Street expects Li sales to grow to about $1.9 billion in the second quarter, up from about $1.5 billion projected for the first quarter. Li delivered almost 32,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022.</p><p>Li talked about Covid in its news release, too: “The COVID-19 resurgence in the Yangtze Delta region continues to cause severe industry-wide disruptions in supply chain, logistics and production since late March.” Li makes cars in Changzhou, in the center of the region, and gets most of the parts for its cars locally.</p><p>XPeng (XPEV) results look a little better that Li or NIO numbers. XPeng delivered 9,002 vehicles in April, down from about 15,000 vehicles delivered in March, but up from about 5,000 delivered in April 2021.</p><p>Looking ahead, Wall Street expects XPeng sales to grow to about $1.3 billion in the second quarter, up from about $1.1 billion projected for the first quarter of 2022. XPeng delivered almost 35,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2021.</p><p>XPeng referenced Covid in its news release as well.</p><p>Combined, the three delivered about 18,000 vehicles in April. That’s the worse monthly result since May 2021 and below the roughly 21,000 combined vehicle delivers in February 2022–when the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday impacted results. But the silver lining is year-to-date, deliveries are up 73% year over year, driven by gains from Li and XPeng.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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 Investors Beware: Bad NIO, Li, XPeng April Deliveries Hit by Covid.</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 Investors Beware: Bad NIO, Li, XPeng April Deliveries Hit by Covid.\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-02 07:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/nio-li-auto-xpeng-bad-april-deliveries-covid-51651420731?mod=hp_LATEST><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Chinese electric vehicle makers NIO, XPeng and Li Auto reported April deliveries on Sunday morning.

Covid lockdowns in Shanghai, for instance, shut Tesla’s plant in the area for weeks, costing Tesla (TSLA) perhaps 15,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2022. Tesla ended up delivering about 310,000 vehicles, just up from the 309,000 delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.Li Auto (LI) delivered 4,167 vehicles in April, down from about 11,000 delivered in March and down from about 5,500 delivered in April 2021.Looking ahead, Wall Street expects Li sales to grow to about $1.9 billion in the second quarter, up from about $1.5 billion projected for the first quarter. Li delivered almost 32,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022.Li talked about Covid in its news release, too: “The COVID-19 resurgence in the Yangtze Delta region continues to cause severe industry-wide disruptions in supply chain, logistics and production since late March.” Li makes cars in Changzhou, in the center of the region, and gets most of the parts for its cars locally.XPeng (XPEV) results look a little better that Li or NIO numbers. XPeng delivered 9,002 vehicles in April, down from about 15,000 vehicles delivered in March, but up from about 5,000 delivered in April 2021.Looking ahead, Wall Street expects XPeng sales to grow to about $1.3 billion in the second quarter, up from about $1.1 billion projected for the first quarter of 2022. XPeng delivered almost 35,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2021.XPeng referenced Covid in its news release as well.Combined, the three delivered about 18,000 vehicles in April. That’s the worse monthly result since May 2021 and below the roughly 21,000 combined vehicle delivers in February 2022–when the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday impacted results. But the silver lining is year-to-date, deliveries are up 73% year over year, driven by gains from Li and XPeng.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":446,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9085546973,"gmtCreate":1650747287935,"gmtModify":1676534784449,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agree","listText":"Agree","text":"Agree","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9085546973","repostId":"2229716170","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2229716170","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1650666223,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2229716170?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-23 06:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Things Investors Should Do Right Now as Stocks Tumble (Again)","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2229716170","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Financial experts share their top tips for investors amid the market downturnU.S. stock markets are ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Financial experts share their top tips for investors amid the market downturn</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2aff69419fa8c12d8aee92ab095e142b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"483\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>U.S. stock markets are sharply down on Friday.</span></p><p>It&#39;s Freaky Friday on Wall Street for investors.</p><p>The latest tumble in stocks is, in many ways, a replay of what investors have seen with the Dow Jones Industrial Average , the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite  in recent months -- another major disruption to global stock markets.</p><p>U.S. stock markets are sharply down on Friday.

Its adjusted operating margin jumped 640 basis points to 47.2%. It attributed most of that growth to its robust sales of gaming and data center GPUs.</p><p>But over the next three fiscal years, analysts expect Nvidia&#39;s revenue growth to decelerate as that upgrade cycle cools off. On the bright side, they expect its adjusted operating margin to consistently rise as it benefits from improved scale and pricing power in the GPU market.</p><table border=\"1\" width=\"598\"><colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr valign=\"TOP\"><th width=\"239\"><p>Metric</p></th><th width=\"104\"><p>FY 2023 Estimate</p></th><th width=\"94\"><p>FY 2024 Estimate</p></th><th width=\"103\"><p>FY 2025 Estimate</p></th></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"239\"><p><b>Revenue Growth</b></p></td><td width=\"104\"><p>29%</p></td><td width=\"94\"><p>17%</p></td><td width=\"103\"><p>12%</p></td></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"239\"><p><b>Adjusted operating margin</b></p></td><td width=\"104\"><p>48.3%</p></td><td width=\"94\"><p>49.4%</p></td><td width=\"103\"><p>51%</p></td></tr><tr valign=\"TOP\"><td width=\"239\"><p><b>Adjusted EPS growth </b></p></td><td width=\"104\"><p>15%</p></td><td width=\"94\"><p>34%</p></td><td width=\"103\"><p>11%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.</p><p>If those expectations are met, Nvidia would generate $45.64 billion in revenue with an adjusted EPS of $6.59 in fiscal 2025.</p><p>Nvidia currently trades at 16 times its revenue and about 50 times its EPS estimate for fiscal 2023. If Nvidia still trades at those forward valuations at the end of fiscal 2024 and hits the estimates, it would have a market cap of about $730 billion.</p><p>However, those valuations would still be too rich for a company that&#39;s growing its revenue and earnings in the low teens. Therefore, I think Nvidia&#39;s market cap might stay between $500 billion and $700 billion over the next three years as it grapples with a cyclical slowdown in the GPU market.</p><h2>The near-term headwinds</h2><p>Investors should take analysts&#39; estimates with a grain of salt, but Nvidia stock likely needs to take a breather after its big growth spurt over the past few years.</p><p>In <b>HP</b>&#39;s (NYSE: HPQ) latest earnings report, it said its sales of consumer PCs fell 1% year-over-year as it faced tough comparisons to the boost it got from remote work and gaming upgrades during the pandemic. That slowdown doesn&#39;t bode well for Nvidia and other PC chipmakers.</p><p>Meanwhile, data center operators might buy fewer Nvidia GPUs for AI tasks as the usage of cloud-based services decelerates in a post-lockdown market. Waning interest in cryptocurrencies, many of which have lost value this year as investors have rotated out of riskier assets, will also curb sales of its gaming GPUs and dedicated mining chips.</p><p>To make matters worse, <b>Intel</b> (NASDAQ: INTC) plans to disrupt Nvidia and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a></b>&#39;s (NASDAQ: AMD) duopoly in discrete GPUs with its own chips. These new GPUs, which Intel is bundling with its own CPUs, could cause more headaches for Nvidia and AMD as the broader gaming market slows down.</p><h2>The long-term tailwinds</h2><p>Those challenges seem daunting, but Nvidia has weathered plenty of cyclical downturns and competitive threats since its public debut in 1999. It also remains the dominant discrete GPU maker with an 81% market share, according to JPR&#39;s fourth-quarter numbers, compared to AMD&#39;s 19% share.</p><p>The gaming and data center markets should also keep expanding over the next few years. The gaming PC market could expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9% between 2021 and 2027, according to Report Ocean, while Research and Markets expects the data center accelerator market to grow at a CAGR of 36.7% between 2021 and 2026.</p><p>If Nvidia continues to dominate both of those growing markets, its cyclical slowdown could end a lot sooner than expected.

At the time, Nvidia seemed destined to become a trillion-dollar company.But after hitting its all-time high, Nvidia's stock shed over a third of its value and its market cap dropped to less than $550 billion. The bulls fled amid concerns about a post-COVID-lockdown slowdown in PC sales, while rising interest rates exacerbated that pain by sparking a sell-off in higher-growth stocks.Can Nvidia regain its momentum and finally join the twelve-zero club by 2025? Let's examine its upcoming catalysts and challenges to find out.Image source: Nvidia.Nvidia could face a cyclical slowdownNvidia's stock hit an all-time high last year as its gaming and data center GPU business generated dazzling growth throughout the pandemic.In the 2022 fiscal year, which ended this January, Nvidia's revenue surged 61% to $26.91 billion as its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) grew 78%. Its adjusted operating margin jumped 640 basis points to 47.2%. It attributed most of that growth to its robust sales of gaming and data center GPUs.But over the next three fiscal years, analysts expect Nvidia's revenue growth to decelerate as that upgrade cycle cools off. On the bright side, they expect its adjusted operating margin to consistently rise as it benefits from improved scale and pricing power in the GPU market.MetricFY 2023 EstimateFY 2024 EstimateFY 2025 EstimateRevenue Growth29%17%12%Adjusted operating margin48.3%49.4%51%Adjusted EPS growth 15%34%11%Data source: S&P Global Market Intelligence.If those expectations are met, Nvidia would generate $45.64 billion in revenue with an adjusted EPS of $6.59 in fiscal 2025.Nvidia currently trades at 16 times its revenue and about 50 times its EPS estimate for fiscal 2023. If Nvidia still trades at those forward valuations at the end of fiscal 2024 and hits the estimates, it would have a market cap of about $730 billion.However, those valuations would still be too rich for a company that's growing its revenue and earnings in the low teens. Therefore, I think Nvidia's market cap might stay between $500 billion and $700 billion over the next three years as it grapples with a cyclical slowdown in the GPU market.The near-term headwindsInvestors should take analysts' estimates with a grain of salt, but Nvidia stock likely needs to take a breather after its big growth spurt over the past few years.In HP's (NYSE: HPQ) latest earnings report, it said its sales of consumer PCs fell 1% year-over-year as it faced tough comparisons to the boost it got from remote work and gaming upgrades during the pandemic. That slowdown doesn't bode well for Nvidia and other PC chipmakers.Meanwhile, data center operators might buy fewer Nvidia GPUs for AI tasks as the usage of cloud-based services decelerates in a post-lockdown market. Waning interest in cryptocurrencies, many of which have lost value this year as investors have rotated out of riskier assets, will also curb sales of its gaming GPUs and dedicated mining chips.To make matters worse, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) plans to disrupt Nvidia and AMD's (NASDAQ: AMD) duopoly in discrete GPUs with its own chips. These new GPUs, which Intel is bundling with its own CPUs, could cause more headaches for Nvidia and AMD as the broader gaming market slows down.The long-term tailwindsThose challenges seem daunting, but Nvidia has weathered plenty of cyclical downturns and competitive threats since its public debut in 1999. It also remains the dominant discrete GPU maker with an 81% market share, according to JPR's fourth-quarter numbers, compared to AMD's 19% share.The gaming and data center markets should also keep expanding over the next few years. The gaming PC market could expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9% between 2021 and 2027, according to Report Ocean, while Research and Markets expects the data center accelerator market to grow at a CAGR of 36.7% between 2021 and 2026.If Nvidia continues to dominate both of those growing markets, its cyclical slowdown could end a lot sooner than expected. Its oft-overlooked automotive chip business -- which generated just 2% of revenue in its latest quarter -- could also gain more traction as the automotive sector gradually recovers and develops new connected and autonomous vehicles.Look beyond Nvidia's market capNvidia probably won't become a trillion-dollar company by 2025, and investors who were spoiled by its 380% rally over the past three years might be a bit disappointed. However, it's arguably better for Nvidia's stock to cool off now and reset the market's expectations instead of flying off the rails with runaway valuations.Nvidia's stock might generate much lower returns over the next three years, but investors shouldn't abandon the chipmaker yet. Long-term secular tailwinds could still propel its stock to new all-time highs.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":552,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9014395259,"gmtCreate":1649601175288,"gmtModify":1676534536200,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks&nbsp;","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9014395259","repostId":"1147564656","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147564656","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1649559590,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147564656?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-10 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stocks To Watch: Spotlight On Big Bank Earnings, Twitter-Musk Meeting, AACR Conference","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147564656","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Get ahead of the market by subscribing to Seeking Alpha's Stocks to Watch, a preview of key events s","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Get ahead of the market by subscribing to Seeking Alpha&#39;s Stocks to Watch, a preview of key events scheduled for the coming week.

Buffett has been on a buying spree as of late -- adding to Berkshire&#39;s position in <b>Occidental Petroleum</b> and buying insurance company Alleghany for around $11.6 billion.</p><p>Berkshire has a lot of attractive holdings, but four dividend stocks that stand out above the rest are <b>United Parcel Service</b>, <b>Chevron</b>, <b>Procter &amp; Gamble</b>, and <b>Coca-Cola</b>. Here&#39;s what makes each stock a great buy now.</p><h2>1. There&#39;s never been a better time to own UPS</h2><p>UPS and <b>FedEx</b> stock are both down over 13% since March 29 despite both companies continuing to report excellent results. The issue isn&#39;t how either company has done but rather where it could be headed from here.</p><p>UPS and FedEx have been successful in raising prices to combat inflation. But FedEx&#39;s commentary during its third-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings call on March 18 was a bit concerning. &#34;Several macroeconomic forces, including the tragic conflict in Ukraine, uncertainty around the pandemic, a tight labor market, supply chain disruptions, high energy prices, and inflationary pressure have dampened the current GDP outlook globally and for the United States,&#34; said Brie Carere, FedEx Chief Marketing and Communications Officer during the recent earnings call.</p><p>However, UPS posted record-high revenue and a high operating margin throughout 2021, which allowed it to raise its dividend by a staggering 49%. UPS grew its business in 2020 and 2021 while many other industrial companies were struggling. It expects growth to slow in 2022 but continues to see strength in e-commerce and its international segment. With a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 13.1 and a dividend yield of 3.1%, UPS is simply too good to pass up.</p><h2>2. Chevron is mostly protected from downside risk</h2><p>Like the rest of the oil majors, Chevron is having an excellent year as high oil and natural gas prices provide a much-needed reprieve for energy companies that got taken to the cleaners during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Many exploration and production companies have more exposure to oil and gas upside than Chevron. But what Chevron has that many of its competitors don&#39;t is an excellent balance sheet, a low cost of production, and a track record for paying and raising its dividend. Given its solid fundamentals, it&#39;s no wonder why Chevron is the 11th largest holding in Berkshire&#39;s portfolio.</p><h2>3. Procter &amp; Gamble may just be the safest stock on the planet</h2><p>Like UPS, Procter &amp; Gamble isn&#39;t immune to inflation. But it has found ways to pass along those costs to customers. Sophisticated supply chains have helped Procter &amp; Gamble retain high gross margins, while other consumer staple companies have been more affected by supply chain disruptions.</p><p>Procter &amp; Gamble is not an inexpensive stock or a fast-growing company. And it isn&#39;t a great value either, with shares hovering around a 52-week high and a P/E ratio of 28.1. However, P&amp;G is a battle-tested business that has done well during periods of high inflation and even recessions.</p><p>Like other defensive stocks, such as <b>Walmart</b> or <b>Costco Wholesale</b>, P&amp;G stock deserves a premium price because its business should continue to do well even if the macroeconomic situation worsens. P&amp;G has paid and raised its annual dividend for over 65 consecutive years, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the longest-tenured Dividend Kings. A Dividend King is an <b>S&amp;P 500</b> component that has paid and raised its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years.</p><h2>4. Coca-Cola has a high dividend yield and a stable business</h2><p>Although Coca-Cola is a completely different company from P&amp;G, the investment thesis for both stocks is very similar. Like P&amp;G, Coca-Cola is a Dividend King and has several well-known brands that consumers know and love. From its flagship soda products to Simply, Minute Maid, Vitamin Water, Smart Water, and acquisitions like Topo Chico, Coca-Cola is so much more than just the Coca-Cola brand.</p><p>The investment thesis for Coca-Cola is that folks are unlikely to cut their spending on its products even during economic downturns -- making its business stable. Coca-Cola stock has a 2.8% dividend yield, which is quite a bit higher than P&amp;G&#39;s 2.2%.</p><h2>A diversified basket of proven passive income winners</h2><p>Investing in equal parts of UPS, Chevron, Procter &amp; Gamble, and Coca-Cola gives an investor a dividend yield of 2.9% and exposure to the industrial sector, the energy sector, and two different industries in the consumer staples sector. All four companies are long-term proven winners but are especially attractive buys during times of high volatility because investors can be confident that each business isn&#39;t going away anytime soon.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>4 Unstoppable Warren Buffett Dividend Stocks That are Passive Income Machines</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\">\n4 Unstoppable Warren Buffett Dividend Stocks That are Passive Income Machines\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-10 11:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/09/4-unstoppable-warren-buffett-dividend-stocks-that/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett made headlines on Thursday after Berkshire Hathaway announced a roughly $4.2 billion stake in HP.

Invest $100,000 in These 3 Stocks and Wait a Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2225524274","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The math adds up if these companies can keep performing.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Who wants to be a millionaire? With the possible exception of billionaires, just about everyone does. The idea spawned a British (and then an American) quiz show. On television, it can happen overnight.</p><p>In investing, becoming a millionaire takes time. Buying shares of high-performing companies can, over time, produce life-changing gains. <b>The</b> <b>Trade</b> <b>Desk</b>, <b>Paycom Software</b>, and <b>Align</b> <b>Technology</b> are three that I believe have that potential.</p><p>Let&#39;s look at their earnings, growth rates, and valuations to see how they could transform a $100,000 portfolio into a seven-figure retirement nest egg over the next decade.</p><h2>1. The Trade Desk</h2><p>There is an old saying in the advertising business that half of ad spending is wasted, but nobody knows which half. The Trade Desk is eliminating that waste with its data-driven self-service platform. Its customers manage their ad spending on more than 500 billion digital opportunities per day. The goal is to help customers make the most intelligent ad-buying decisions and provide them with an abundance of performance feedback. In today&#39;s digital economy, it&#39;s invaluable.</p><p>And business is growing like a weed. Earnings per share (EPS) are expected to climb more than 23% next year. That&#39;s a reasonable rate to use in our calculation. The company has grown revenue 375% over the past five years. Also, gross spend on Trade Desk&#39;s platform climbed 47% last year to $6.2 billion. And management pegs the global ad-spend opportunity at $750 billion, with about $50 billion in display advertising. That offers plenty of room to grow for years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3105e52ee3274f0a262bd444d428b18f\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TTD revenue (TTM). Data by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.</p><p>Wall Street sees the potential. The Trade Desk&#39;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has varied between 40 and 120 over the past few years. We&#39;ll use 50 for our calculations.</p><p>Doing the math on an initial investment of $33,333.33 (a third of the $100,000) leads to a stake in The Trade Desk worth almost $190,000 in 2032. That relies on bold assumptions. But they are well within what the company has delivered so far.</p><h2>2. Paycom</h2><p>Paycom offers businesses a platform to manage employee payroll, time and attendance, and benefits administration, among other things. Its product was built for the cloud. That&#39;s different from many traditional human capital management (HCM) vendors that have pieced together acquired software over the years.</p><p>Customers can clearly tell the difference. Paycom topped $1 billion in revenue last year for the first time, a 26% increase over 2020. Most importantly, that revenue is recurring and sticky. Revenue retention was 94% in 2021. Customers stick around once they start using the platform.</p><p>Before the pandemic, Paycom&#39;s top line was expanding between 30% and 45% each year. We&#39;ll use last year&#39;s 26% for our calculation and apply a multiple of 60 times earnings. That seems high. But shares have stayed within a range of 50 to 100 times earnings over the years.</p><p>For Paycom, that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-third of the $100,000 hypothetically invested in 2022 turns into more than $350,000 a decade from now. That would make it a 10-bagger. While it might seem unlikely, if the market continues to reward predictable revenue, and Paycom continues to grow, it&#39;s possible. After all, its $1.1 billion in 2021 revenue is a drop in the bucket of an HCM market that is predicted to reach $47 billion by 2029.</p><h2>3. Align Technology</h2><p>The company best known for its Invisalign clear teeth-straightening system is actually a vertically integrated combination of several businesses. They all help people get straighter teeth faster, and orthodontists and dentists see more clients every year. It also provides scanners and software -- two acquisitions -- that help practitioners develop and communicate a plan for patients.</p><p>The growth opportunity is tremendous. Management estimates 500 million potential customers in the world with 21 million orthodontic starts each year -- two-thirds of them teens. For context, it shipped 2.55 million aligners last year.</p><p>Align is the crown jewel in our attempt to grow a million-dollar portfolio. The $33,333.33 invested in it could grow over the next 10 years into $461,000. That&#39;s assuming the $12.50 analysts expect this year grows at the midpoint of management&#39;s long-term guidance of 20% to 30% a year. Similar to the other two stocks, Align typically trades at a premium. We&#39;ll use 50 times earnings, slightly above the bottom of the 40 to 100 historical P/E range. It&#39;s an amazing potential return when running the numbers.</p><h2>&#34;It&#39;s tough to make predictions, especially about the future&#34;</h2><p>That quote from Yankees legend Yogi Berra underscores a key point in the analysis above. No one knows what the world is going to look like in 10 years. Investors with a long-term mindset need to block out the noise without being irresponsible.</p><p>The Trade Desk, Paycom, and Align have all grown rapidly while turning a profit. I expect that to continue. If the assumptions hold, a $100,000 investment will be worth $1 million in 10 short years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b4adf9eeb7896d353fe014f3f351429\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"302\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Calculations and chart by author.</p><p>It&#39;s an interesting exercise that relies on the past as a guide.

With the possible exception of billionaires, just about everyone does. The idea spawned a British (and then an American) quiz show. On television, it can happen overnight.In investing, becoming a millionaire takes time. Buying shares of high-performing companies can, over time, produce life-changing gains. The Trade Desk, Paycom Software, and Align Technology are three that I believe have that potential.Let's look at their earnings, growth rates, and valuations to see how they could transform a $100,000 portfolio into a seven-figure retirement nest egg over the next decade.1. The Trade DeskThere is an old saying in the advertising business that half of ad spending is wasted, but nobody knows which half. The Trade Desk is eliminating that waste with its data-driven self-service platform. Its customers manage their ad spending on more than 500 billion digital opportunities per day. The goal is to help customers make the most intelligent ad-buying decisions and provide them with an abundance of performance feedback. In today's digital economy, it's invaluable.And business is growing like a weed. Earnings per share (EPS) are expected to climb more than 23% next year. That's a reasonable rate to use in our calculation. The company has grown revenue 375% over the past five years. Also, gross spend on Trade Desk's platform climbed 47% last year to $6.2 billion. And management pegs the global ad-spend opportunity at $750 billion, with about $50 billion in display advertising. That offers plenty of room to grow for years.TTD revenue (TTM). Data by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.Wall Street sees the potential. The Trade Desk's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has varied between 40 and 120 over the past few years. We'll use 50 for our calculations.Doing the math on an initial investment of $33,333.33 (a third of the $100,000) leads to a stake in The Trade Desk worth almost $190,000 in 2032. That relies on bold assumptions. But they are well within what the company has delivered so far.2. PaycomPaycom offers businesses a platform to manage employee payroll, time and attendance, and benefits administration, among other things. Its product was built for the cloud. That's different from many traditional human capital management (HCM) vendors that have pieced together acquired software over the years.Customers can clearly tell the difference. Paycom topped $1 billion in revenue last year for the first time, a 26% increase over 2020. Most importantly, that revenue is recurring and sticky. Revenue retention was 94% in 2021. Customers stick around once they start using the platform.Before the pandemic, Paycom's top line was expanding between 30% and 45% each year. We'll use last year's 26% for our calculation and apply a multiple of 60 times earnings. That seems high. But shares have stayed within a range of 50 to 100 times earnings over the years.For Paycom, that one-third of the $100,000 hypothetically invested in 2022 turns into more than $350,000 a decade from now. That would make it a 10-bagger. While it might seem unlikely, if the market continues to reward predictable revenue, and Paycom continues to grow, it's possible. After all, its $1.1 billion in 2021 revenue is a drop in the bucket of an HCM market that is predicted to reach $47 billion by 2029.3. Align TechnologyThe company best known for its Invisalign clear teeth-straightening system is actually a vertically integrated combination of several businesses. They all help people get straighter teeth faster, and orthodontists and dentists see more clients every year. It also provides scanners and software -- two acquisitions -- that help practitioners develop and communicate a plan for patients.The growth opportunity is tremendous. Management estimates 500 million potential customers in the world with 21 million orthodontic starts each year -- two-thirds of them teens. For context, it shipped 2.55 million aligners last year.Align is the crown jewel in our attempt to grow a million-dollar portfolio. The $33,333.33 invested in it could grow over the next 10 years into $461,000. That's assuming the $12.50 analysts expect this year grows at the midpoint of management's long-term guidance of 20% to 30% a year. Similar to the other two stocks, Align typically trades at a premium. We'll use 50 times earnings, slightly above the bottom of the 40 to 100 historical P/E range. It's an amazing potential return when running the numbers.\"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future\"That quote from Yankees legend Yogi Berra underscores a key point in the analysis above. No one knows what the world is going to look like in 10 years. Investors with a long-term mindset need to block out the noise without being irresponsible.The Trade Desk, Paycom, and Align have all grown rapidly while turning a profit. I expect that to continue. If the assumptions hold, a $100,000 investment will be worth $1 million in 10 short years.Calculations and chart by author.It's an interesting exercise that relies on the past as a guide. If the performance changes, so can the outcome. That's why it's best to build a diversified portfolio of a lot more than three stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9015491349,"gmtCreate":1649531683535,"gmtModify":1676534525222,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks 😊&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks 😊&nbsp;","text":"Thanks 😊","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9015491349","repostId":"1113138586","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1113138586","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1649461821,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1113138586?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-09 07:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This $600 Million Fund Just Bought Palantir (PLTR) Stock.

After the purchase, Palantir is now Spence’s ninth-largest position out of 35 total positions. At current prices, the firm’s PLTR stake is worth about $17.9 million.</p><p>In addition, it can be assumed that Spence purchased PLTR stock as an investment and not as a trade.

In &#34;Metaphors We Live By,&#34; a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that &#34;the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.&#34; What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, &#34;the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.&#34;</p><p>When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you&#39;re a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.</p><p>&#34;The ups and downs in the emotions don&#39;t correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,&#34; said Brendan Walker, a London-based &#34;thrill engineer&#34; with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. &#34;The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.&#34;</p><p>The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue.

Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, \"the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.\"When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you're a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.\"The ups and downs in the emotions don't correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,\" said Brendan Walker, a London-based \"thrill engineer\" with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. \"The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.\"The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: \"Is this the top yet?\" Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. \"They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,\" said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. \"A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.\" They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. \"This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.\"Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only \"minor injuries\" -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering \"never again,\" but no poorer for the journey.Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. \"It's a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.\"In a 2007 paper, \"Metaphors and the Market,\" Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: \"agent\" metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that \"object\" metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in \"the  Dow fell off a cliff.\" Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.\"Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,\" Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have \"unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.\"Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point. Financial journalists have a responsibility to think critically about the language and imagery used to explain the market. We should be up front about how little we know, and we should banish all the bears and B.S. We can do better.Morris told me that his metaphor research was conducted well before the rise of social media, and these days the major financial networks and sites may be the least of investors' problems. \"If you want to be a contrarian thinker, the last thing you want is ignorant people shouting in your ear,\" he said.Investing is not for the faint of heart. But unlike markets, every roller coaster must come to an end. Writing for and editing MarketWatch has been one the great thrills of my life.

An armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine has created an atmosphere of panic unlike any in recent memory. Various media outlets have described the crisis as the biggest armed conflict in Europe since World War 2. The days-old conflict has already claimed hundreds of lives, and displaced hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. It is a very frightening, and tragic, situation.</p><p>So, it shouldn&#39;t come as any surprise that markets have been jittery since the war began. On February 24, the first day after Russia&#39;s invasion, markets opened1.65% lower than they closed the day before. In subsequent trading days, the markets regained what they had lost, and then some. Nevertheless, scary sounding headlines continued to be released for the remainder of the week. Some examples include:</p><ul><li><p>&#34;These 13 Stocks Implode as the World Prepares for War.&#34; (Investor&#39;s Business Daily).</p></li><li><p>&#34;Stocks tank as War Threat intensifies.&#34; (Morningstar).</p></li><li><p>&#34;War Will Give Stocks no Peace.&#34; (Forbes).</p></li></ul><p>The subtext of these headlines couldn&#39;t be clearer:</p><p><i>War is a scary prospect for stock market investors. Be very afraid!</i></p><p>To be sure, there are legitimate reasons to be afraid of war. The human toll is very real, and wars can bring short term economic disruptions as well. The war in Ukraine has reportedly taken energy pipelines offline, contributing to higher energy costs and inflation. So there are very real reasons to be concerned. The question is,<i>&#34;is the stock market one of these reasons?&#34;</i></p><p>Going by history, no. Although the flash point moments in war do tend to be correlated with brief selloffs, stocks recover from these events quickly. There was only one case in the last 100 years in which a war was correlated with a long-term decline in stock prices but, as you&#39;re about to see, the war was not likely what caused stocks to go down that time. Generally speaking, wars can coincide with panic selling, but it doesn&#39;t last long. Given this, it would be foolhardy to sell your stocks right now because of the situation in Eastern Europe.</p><p><b>Wars and Stocks: the Correlation</b></p><p>If we look at historical market data, we can see that the very early moments of wars do tend to be correlated with stock market selloffs. A recentFortune article reviewed five major conflict situations and how they impacted stocks. It concluded that war-related stock market dips do occur, but tend to be short lived.

Looking at it visually, you can see that all of these war-related events coincided with near term lows, but were followed by long-term gains. The one exception is 9/11: it took stocks nearly a year to find a bottom after that one. However, in that particular case, the long-term downtrend was not actually caused by the attack, as I&#39;ll explain shortly.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76d1ac70f5e16bcef0d0abacea19479d\" tg-width=\"816\" tg-height=\"517\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Trading Economics</span></p><p>As you can see, 9/11 occurred about halfway through a bear market that began in 2000 and ended in 2002. It was the one &#34;war&#34; related event of the five mentioned in Fortune that was followed by prolonged bearishness. However, it was also the one where there was a lot more than conflict contributing to the selloff. The 9/11 crash occurred about halfway through the Dotcom bubble burst. The bear market of the time was caused by the rapid collapse in prices of high flying tech stocks, some of which went bankrupt and were delisted. Notable examples included:</p><ul><li><p>Pets.com (went bankrupt).</p></li><li><p>Priceline (acquired after falling 94%).</p></li><li><p>Garden.com (shut down after falling to 9 cents a share).</p></li></ul><p>All of these stocks went bust long before 9/11 was part of the conversation. Therefore, it&#39;s hard to say how much of the losses in the 2000-2002 period were due to the bubble collapsing, and how much were due to 9/11. The 2000 bubble collapsed mainly due to valuation concerns, companies experiencing financial strain, and a series of interest rate hikes in1999 and 2000. At the peak, the NASDAQ had a 175 P/E ratio. These factors probably contributed to the 2000-2002 bear market more than any conflict did.</p><p>If we take the post-9/11 selloff without the historical context, then it took the markets a little under a year to recover from the 15% drawdown. That&#39;s not too bad, all things considered. Of course, the markets took much longer to get back to the highs set in 2000. The S&amp;P 500 took six years to get back to the previous top, the NASDAQ a full 15! So the bear market of 2000-2002 was quite long, and the recovery from it was even longer. But again, most of it took place long before 9/11. The losses incurred in the immediate aftermath of that event reversed in less than a year.</p><p><b>Why Isn&#39;t War Bad For Stocks?</b></p><p>Having established that war has not historically been bad for the stock market, the next logical question to ask is, &#34;why?&#34; War is certainly among the most destructive mass-scale activities human beings participate in. Lives are lost, infrastructure is destroyed, people are displaced, and the list just goes on and on. It certainly seems like wars destroy a lot of value. Why, then, do stocks generally go up when they are happening?</p><p>First, it helps to understand how broad the stock market really is.</p><p>To begin with just the U.S., the Wilshire 5000 index consists of 3,500 stocks. It is generally taken as equivalent to the total U.S. stock market. It may exclude some OTC stocks, but it is a pretty good proxy for U.S. listed securities.</p><p>Looking abroad, there are even more stocks to choose from. The OECD says that there are41,000 listed equities globally, and the number rises every year.</p><p>What all of this means is that the universe of stocks is very large. It follows logically from this that different stocks will respond to armed conflict in different ways. While you might find some companies out there that lose money because of armed conflict, you&#39;ll find others that won&#39;t. Some companies will inevitably do just fine. Out of respect for the lives in jeopardy in Eastern Europe right now, I will avoid any talk of arms dealers, defense contractors and other &#34;war beneficiary&#34; stocks. But I will draw your attention to one major industry that serves as a perfect illustration of how companies can thrive during wars:</p><p><b>Energy</b></p><p>As you might be aware, the Russia/Ukraine war has severely disrupted global energy supplies. Russia&#39;s Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been suspended, pipelines in Ukraine have been knocked out, and Western energy companies have withdrawn from Russia. Without a doubt, there are Russian energy companies that could lose a lot of money over this.<b>Gazprom</b>(OTCPK:OGZPY), for example, is heavily invested in the now suspended Nord Stream 2. Its stock had fallen 35% for the year before trading was suspended on February 25th. That&#39;s noteworthy because energy stocks as a whole rose in the same period.</p><p>So, Russian energy stocks are in a bad place right now.</p><p>But remember:</p><p><i>It&#39;s a big world out there.</i></p><p>All of the oil that&#39;s not flowing because of the Russia/Ukraine conflict has to be supplied by someone else. And because of the supply shock, that &#34;someone else&#34; is going to collect higher prices on the oil they sell. When supply decreases but demand is unchanged, prices rise. And right now, the global supply of oil is being reduced.</p><p>There are many companies that can thrive in such an environment. If you look at a Canadian energy company like <b>Suncor Energy</b>(SU), for example, it is about as insulated from the Russia/Ukraine situation as you can imagine. It makes money by selling gasoline to Canadians and by exporting crude oil to Americans. None of this is in any way threatened by the situation in Eastern Europe. Yet oil prices are rising worldwide, even in regions that are not being directly impacted by the conflict. Gasoline prices are rising right along side them. All of this means that Suncor gets to charge higher prices for its products than it did before. That results in higher earnings, as we saw the fourth quarter. In Q4, Suncor&#39;s funds from operations (FFO)grew 157%year-over-year. Net income and operating income swung from losses to profits. That was all thanks to oil prices rising year-over-year. Today, oil prices are even higher than they were in Q4, having set new 7 year highs. So Suncor should do even better in Q1.</p><p>What this example illustrates is the fact that equities can respond to crises in surprising ways. Sure, some are damaged by pandemonium, but others can do just fine. Overall, the presence of disorder in the world shouldn&#39;t affect your outlook. As history shows, it has little effect on the markets.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Fear, Panic And War Are Bad Reasons To Sell Stocks</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\">\nFear, Panic And War Are Bad Reasons To Sell Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-02 11:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMany people are concerned that the war in Ukraine will damage their portfolios.It is natural to be worried during scary situations, but history shows that times like now are poor times to sell....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1162614571","content_text":"SummaryMany people are concerned that the war in Ukraine will damage their portfolios.It is natural to be worried during scary situations, but history shows that times like now are poor times to sell.Generally speaking, stock market declines due to disaster scenarios are very short lived.In this article, I will make the case that many stocks (particularly energy stocks) will do just fine in this environment.The world is a scary place right now. An armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine has created an atmosphere of panic unlike any in recent memory. Various media outlets have described the crisis as the biggest armed conflict in Europe since World War 2. The days-old conflict has already claimed hundreds of lives, and displaced hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. It is a very frightening, and tragic, situation.So, it shouldn't come as any surprise that markets have been jittery since the war began. On February 24, the first day after Russia's invasion, markets opened1.65% lower than they closed the day before. In subsequent trading days, the markets regained what they had lost, and then some. Nevertheless, scary sounding headlines continued to be released for the remainder of the week. Some examples include:\"These 13 Stocks Implode as the World Prepares for War.\" (Investor's Business Daily).\"Stocks tank as War Threat intensifies.\" (Morningstar).\"War Will Give Stocks no Peace.\" (Forbes).The subtext of these headlines couldn't be clearer:War is a scary prospect for stock market investors. Be very afraid!To be sure, there are legitimate reasons to be afraid of war. The human toll is very real, and wars can bring short term economic disruptions as well. The war in Ukraine has reportedly taken energy pipelines offline, contributing to higher energy costs and inflation. So there are very real reasons to be concerned. The question is,\"is the stock market one of these reasons?\"Going by history, no. Although the flash point moments in war do tend to be correlated with brief selloffs, stocks recover from these events quickly. There was only one case in the last 100 years in which a war was correlated with a long-term decline in stock prices but, as you're about to see, the war was not likely what caused stocks to go down that time. Generally speaking, wars can coincide with panic selling, but it doesn't last long. Given this, it would be foolhardy to sell your stocks right now because of the situation in Eastern Europe.Wars and Stocks: the CorrelationIf we look at historical market data, we can see that the very early moments of wars do tend to be correlated with stock market selloffs. A recentFortune article reviewed five major conflict situations and how they impacted stocks. It concluded that war-related stock market dips do occur, but tend to be short lived. The examples given are:World War 1: the Dow fell 30%, then was closed for six months, then surged 88% in 1915.World War 2: 2.9% drawdown on the morning of the Pearl Harbor attack. Losses erased within a month.Cuban Missile Crisis: tiny 1.2% selloff followed by a 10% gain for the remainder of the year.9/11: 15% selloff within days of the attack. The market didn't find a bottom this time until 2002. It then went on to enter a bull market that lasted until 2008.U.S. invading Iraq: stocks jumped 2.3% on the day of the invasion and ended the year up 30%.I've included a chart below, borrowed from Trading Economics, that shows the approximate dates of the events above (except World War 1). Looking at it visually, you can see that all of these war-related events coincided with near term lows, but were followed by long-term gains. The one exception is 9/11: it took stocks nearly a year to find a bottom after that one. However, in that particular case, the long-term downtrend was not actually caused by the attack, as I'll explain shortly.Trading EconomicsAs you can see, 9/11 occurred about halfway through a bear market that began in 2000 and ended in 2002. It was the one \"war\" related event of the five mentioned in Fortune that was followed by prolonged bearishness. However, it was also the one where there was a lot more than conflict contributing to the selloff. The 9/11 crash occurred about halfway through the Dotcom bubble burst.

RobloxThe metaverse could have a wide variety of use cases across all industries, from gaming to manufacturing. But looking at the opportunity from the entertainment side, Roblox is well-positioned to be a leader. It ended November with 49 million daily active users that can access the platform from PCs with virtual reality equipment, game consoles, and mobile devices.Roblox makes money from a virtual currency (Robux) that is used to access new experiences and buy virtual items for personal avatars. Revenue more than doubled in the third quarter, with daily active users up 31%.Roblox is not just about games for kids, either. Music artists are hosting live virtual concerts to connect with fans and raise awareness for new albums. Netflix launched an experience on the platform based on the hit showStranger Things. Toward the end of last year, Nike unveiled Nikeland, with virtual tennis and basketball courts and other activities for users to spend time with.Brands' interest in investing in new experiences on Roblox is a great sign for the stickiness of the platform. Investments by big brands are increasing its appeal and positioning Roblox to continue growing its base of users. Management's goal is to reach billions of users. Against this long runway of growth, the recent dip in the share price looks like a good buying opportunity.2. Meta PlatformsWith 2.9 billion monthly active users on Facebook, Meta Platforms is a no-brainer metaverse stock. It's got a war chest of cash to spend on consumer products, such as Oculus virtual reality products, not to mention data centers and other necessary infrastructure to bring its metaverse ambitions to life.Facebook has spent approximately $21 billion on data centers over the last decade to build a total of 18 in the U.S. and internationally, according to Goldman Sachs. It has plans to build as many as 70 more buildings.Combine that with the company's move to split its financial reporting into two segments -- Family of Apps (social media) and Facebook Reality Labs (metaverse) -- and you can see how seriously CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking this opportunity.Meta Platforms is still putting up solid revenue and earnings growth, and thesocial media leader looks undervaluedat a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.3. MicrosoftMicrosoft is another reasonably valued tech stock that is well positioned to benefit from the development of Web 3.0. With its growing Xbox gaming business, the company's investments in cloud infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, and the development of the HoloLens mixed-reality headset, the software giant has all the pieces in place to capitalize on this opportunity.HoloLens has been in development for many years.

It's not a consumer product, but is designed for businesses using 3D design as part of the manufacturing process. Elsewhere, Microsoft has plans to turn its Teams video conferencing app into a virtual experience using virtual reality and augmented reality goggles.Of course, gaming will be a natural extension of the metaverse.

But the stock, alongside the broader market, has since come to a bust with declines of more than 15%.</p><p>With inflation running its hottest course in four decades, the Federal Reserve has showed signs ofamped-up urgency in paring pandemic-era stimulus and pivoting toward a hawkish stance on monetary policy tightening. The impending rate hike cycle that is expected to begin in March has stirred investors’ concern over potential erosion of value on future gains and stalled growth due to rising costs of capital. This has led to a broad market sell-off in recent weeks, especially for high-growth stocks, as investors rotated out of risky assets to safer investments like Treasuries. As benchmark Treasury yield surpassed 1.8% last week in anticipation of the Fed’s plans to begin the rate hiking cycle soon to quell runaway inflation, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was pushed into correction territory after declining more than 10% from its November closing record. A disappointing outlook released by Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) last week also has further fuelled investor angst, as the market continues on a freefall despite the brief mid-day rebound observed on Monday’s session.</p><p>Apple stock is now standing in a unique position in terms of timing, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to give an update on monetary policy decision on Wednesday and the tech giant’s corporate earnings release on Thursday. On one hand, Wednesday’s briefing from Powell could lead to further market volatility as investors brace for an announcement on the timing and magnitude of upcoming rate hikes. On the other hand, Apple’s results and outlook to be released on the following day could come in strong and save the day by reversing the dire sentiment over the technology sector.</p><p>While some are bracing for an aggressive dose of monetary policy tightening with an initial rate hike of up to 50 bps in March to rein in inflation, the Fed will likely tread lightly over the matter. Despite historical inflation, it&#39;s likely the Fed is “acutely aware of the risk around getting too aggressive” and making a policy mistake that could be detrimental to the economy. As for Apple, the tech giant is expected to deliver an update that will likely encompass strong holiday season sales and robust demand for its products and services, despite protracted supply chain constraints being the near-term overhang.</p><p>As discussed in our previous coverage, Apple remains a top hedge against mounting macro headwinds like inflation and rate hikes. With strong cash flows, robust earnings and revenue growth, and expanding margins through scale and pricing power, the performance of Apple’s underlying business is really as good as it gets when it comes to resistance against inflation and tightening monetary policy. The stock’s latest pullback also puts its current trading multiples at a small discount compared to those during last year’s February tech stock sell-off. It&#39;s currently trading at about 28.8x TTM earnings compared to above 30x at the onset of 2021’s early-year sell-off.</p><p>Apple’s demonstration of continued strength in demand for its products and services, its ability to generate robust cash flows, and its innovative technology roadmap builds a strong hedge case against upcoming valuation adjustment risks posed by the upcoming tightening of monetary policy. Paired with the stock’s recent pullback in price, we&#39;re maintaining a buy rating with expectations for it to contest the $200-level within the next 12 months.</p><p><b>What We have Observed So Far Over the Holiday Season</b></p><p>Following last quarter’s earnings call when the company reported $6 billion in lost sales due to COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions, there have been growing uncertainties on how the biggest sales quarter of the year has fared in one of the most protracted supply chain disruptions experienced in the history of the industry. We have done some field work over the holidays and earlier this month by going to Apple stores to gauge how sales have performed during the December quarter. Based on discussions with sales representatives, this is what we have gathered:</p><ul><li>Black Friday: Apple has opted for gift card rebates over traditional discounts on sticker prices offered by authorized retailers during the Black Friday shopping event. Based on discussions with in-store employees, the strategy has done a good job in retaining sales from customers who would have otherwise left the store empty handed due to lack of inventory on products they had originally intended to buy. For instance, bundle rebates on lower-priced in-stock items like the AirPods and AirTags have garnered strong traction during the annual shopping event. In our view, the gift card rebate has not only proven to be a prudent strategy in retaining customer sales despite lacking inventory, but also a good way to ensure additional inflow of future revenues instead of one-off discounts for customers that could be lost to competitors down the road.</li><li>Boxing Day: Visited Apple stores in North America actually did not offer any Boxing Day discounts, but demand for products remained robust. Many customers came in looking for the new iPhone 13 and iPads, but were forced to leave empty-handed due to severely limited inventory levels. Most had opted for online orders, which had long wait times, but that has not deterred them from making the purchase. This implies stickiness of demand for Apple’s suite of products, as well as the effectiveness of Apple’s continued commitment to product upgrades and innovations.</li><li>Today: Visited stores said they have quickly sold out of stock received on the all-new MacBook Pros, which run on the M1 Pro/M1 Pro Max chips. However, customer demand remains robust with many turning to online orders despite a three-week minimum wait time. Many stores are also out of all models of the iPads. On the iPhone front, some stores have indicated they had just received shipment for what was supposed to be December stock. Many salespersons we have spoken to believe sales would have been much better had the iPhone 13 shipments arrived in December as intended because that was pretty much what everyone was asking for during the holiday season. On the downside, this implies Apple has certainly remained impacted from supply chain bottlenecks during the holiday season. But on the upside, the iPhone 13 clearly remains a dominant player in the smartphone, and 5G-enabled devices, market.</li></ul><p>Supply chain constraints are clearly still a theme for Apple. And it seemed to have been accentuated over the December-quarter – its best sales quarter of the year – when most wanted to get their hands on the most advanced mobile and computing devices, and complementing accessories and gadgets. Yet, the company continues to be prudent in salvaging sales through strategies like gift card rebates to abate the impact of lost sales from supply chain disruptions, which we consider a prudent move to ensure demand does not spill over to competitors. Consumer willingness to endure long wait times through online orders are also testament to continued strength in demand for Apple’s products.</p><p>A high-level conclusion based on the information gathered from stores visited would imply the company has likely endured much more than $6 billion in lost revenues due to ongoing COVID- and supply-chain-related impacts to business during the December-quarter. However, demand definitely remains robust, which underscores the tech giant’s continued dominance across the market segments in which it operates in. And the company’s management team has clearly done a good job in ensuring demand remains in their pockets despite the current shortfall in supply. These, together, are all positive signs that the company’s valuation prospects remain intact.</p><p><b>Easing Supply Chain Constraints</b></p><p>On the supply front, supply chain bottlenecks are expected to ease over the course of the current year, which will help the stock defy related pressures as well as those from the recent sell-off on rate hike concerns. Following Microsoft’s most recent earnings call Tuesday, the stock saw a steep rebound following announcement of a strong outlook on cloud-computing business growth. And a similar trend should be in order for Apple as well, considering expectations for a positive change in management’s sentiment towards the current supply chain situation which would imply a strong performance outlook for the year.</p><p>The expectation is further corroborated by recent information released by Apple’s key supply chain partners, including Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN) and Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTCPK:HNHAF). Texas Instruments, the world’s largest producer and supplier of analog and embedded processing chips, and a key supplier of display parts to Apple, has provided a stronger-than-expected sales and profit forecast during Tuesday’s earnings call. The semiconductor giant also reported slight improvements to inventory levels, albeit still about 40% lower than normal, as well as lower volumes of expedited order requests. These items, together, suggest that the ongoing chip supply shortage may be finally starting to ease. The expected trend is further corroborated by recent announcements from Hon Hai Precision Industry, the key assembler of Apple’s iPhones. Hon Hai’s Chairman Young Liu is predicting “unprecedented performance in the first quarter” that will surpass historical output levels. The global leader in contracted consumer electronics manufacturing is gearing up to ensure adequate levels of inventory for customers this quarter, including Apple, to prevent further unravelling of supply chain disruptions.</p><p>While Apple’s fiscal second quarter has historically experienced slower sales compared to the fiscal first quarter due to seasonality, recent improvements to supply chain will likely drive a boost in sales. Paired with in-store observations of replenished iPhone stock and the expectation for returning customers looking to cash in their gift card rebates received over the holidays, a stronger-than-expected outlook for the year is likely in order.</p><p><b>Continued Demand Buoyed by an Ever-Improving Product Line-Up</b></p><p>The iPhone 13 remains the dominant 5G-enabled mobile device on the market. It was the most sought-after product during the holiday season, and remains so today even as inventories begin to return to normal levels. Some regions are reporting wait times of up to a full week for online iPhone 13 orders to arrive due to the ongoing clash between robust demand and squeezed supply. While Apple is in process of restoring balance across its supply of the iPhone 13, its core revenue driver among other products, it is also continuously working on improving its product roadmap.</p><p>This includes the highly anticipated roll-out of the budget-friendly 5G-enabled iPhone SE, which is expected for later this year. The current iPhone SE only supports up to 4G LTE, and is still running on the 2019 A13 chips, while the newest generation of iPhones have already moved on to the A15 Bionic chips which promise much faster speeds. Although Apple has not yet released any official statement on the potentially newest addition to the iPhone family, it would only make sense for an upgrade on the iPhone SE with 5G and new processors to ensure its performance is caught up to current demands. As mentioned in our previous coverage, iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. And the launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE would better equip Apple to attract switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users” and further its market share in the smartphones category. It would also help Apple maintain its lead in the 5G competition against rival Samsung, which has recently launched its own budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G to capitalize on rising opportunities stemming from non-premium upgrades.</p><p>The global push for 5G adoption and Apple’s aging installed base of iPhones is also expected to drive the segment into one of the largest multi-year upgrade cycles ahead. Reputable wireless carriers have been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices, including the iPhone 12/13, in recent months with enticing offers in hopes of boosting their 5G network sign-ups to recoup their years of investments into the rollout of next-generation wireless service. And with more than a quarter of Apple’s active iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X), Apple is looking to benefit from a multi-year wave of upgrade purchases as users of the older iPhones look to convert to newer models that are compatible with the latest technology.</p><p>As mentioned in earlier sections, Macs and iPads also appear to be rare commodities right now due to stickier-than-expected demand that have carried over from the peak of the pandemic. Robust holiday season demand for iPads, iMacs and MacBooks observed in store and online have driven the segment’s shipments up by 9% compared to the prior year,beating performance of all five best-selling PC vendors. While the milestone is expected to be a plus for fiscal first quarter earnings to be released later this week, the anticipated launch of additional product upgrades across Apple’s computing devices segment is what will drive further acceleration in growth for the current year and beyond:</p><ul><li>iPad Pro: The last time the iPad Pro had a full-on makeover was in 2018, which made its debut about a year and a half after the preceding model. Taking that for a proxy, a completely redesigned iPad Pro should be in the books for launch later this year, especially as the last two models were essentially “new chip and camera upgrades.” In addition to an exterior makeover that would likely feature a glass back, the next-generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the newest M2 chip and integrated wireless charging to match capabilities of the iPhone.</li><li>iMac: With the newest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips now fitted into the redesigned MacBook Pros, the next step would likely be to bring them into the iMac desktops. The redesigned M1-powered iMac launched last year has proven to be in high demand thanks to the surge in global demand for reliable workstations for work-from-home needs. Any improvements to the desktop’s processing power will likely drive further demand from those who has yet to make the leap on an upgrade, especially as the rising tide of hybrid working and learning arrangements is proving to be a staying trend even in the post-pandemic era.</li></ul><p>Services are also expected to play a larger role in Apple’s growth trajectory going forward. About a quarter of Apple’s sales last year were attributable to the services segment. Yet, it only accounted for about 10% of Apple’s consolidated cost of sales, indicating the segment’s generous margins. And Apple’s bottom line will only further benefit from expectations for further growth in demand for Apple services going forward. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. And its recent push for a subscription-based business model across its wide array of existing service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings and pricing options will continue to be a key driver for the segment’s growth, and inadvertently, the company’s fast-expanding margins.</p><p><b>Conclusion: AAPL’s Pullback Is a Buy Opportunity</b></p><p>Although equities are likely to remain volatile in the near term due to uncertainties over the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening agenda, Apple will likely draw a rebound from Thursday’s earnings call. While lost revenues driven by COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions are likely a given, the tech giant is expected to have set a new record for fiscal first quarter sales on strong holiday season demand, nonetheless. Recent observations of easing supply chain constraints across Apple’s suppliers and manufacturing partners also signal improvements to the current year sales outlook, which bolsters investors’ confidence in the stock. And the continued strength in demand for Apple’s products and services will likely maintain the brand’s pricing power to beat any persisting inflation pressures ahead.</p><p>As discussed in detail in our last coverage on the stock, Apple’s overall valuation prospects remain intact despite the impending rate hiking cycle. Robust global demand for Apple&#39;s offerings as discussed in the foregoing analysis are expected to further grow Apple&#39;s cheque book, making a strong tailwind against downward valuation pressures stemming from upcoming changes to the macro environment. We believe there&#39;s still a massive runway for the stock to grow in both the near and longer term, which makes its recent pullback in price a reasonable buy opportunity.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Now A Good Time To Buy Or Sell Apple Stock?</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\">\nIs Now A Good Time To Buy Or Sell Apple Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-27 13:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple's value has declined by more than 10% since its brief stint in the $3 trillion market cap territory earlier in the year.The stock is also trading at about 28x forward earnings, which is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1194933395","content_text":"SummaryApple's value has declined by more than 10% since its brief stint in the $3 trillion market cap territory earlier in the year.The stock is also trading at about 28x forward earnings, which is slightly discounted from a year ago during the February tech stock selloff.Considering hints of easing supply chain constraints across Apple's key suppliers and manufacturing partners, the company is likely looking at a better-than-expected growth outlook for the year.This will likely assuage growing investors' angst and \"change the tide for the current risk-off environment in tech\" which has pressured the Apple stock's performance.Apple's upcoming earnings call is expected to drive a rebound similar to Microsoft's after the latter reported a reassuring growth outlook.

Taking that for a proxy, a completely redesigned iPad Pro should be in the books for launch later this year, especially as the last two models were essentially “new chip and camera upgrades.” In addition to an exterior makeover that would likely feature a glass back, the next-generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the newest M2 chip and integrated wireless charging to match capabilities of the iPhone.iMac: With the newest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips now fitted into the redesigned MacBook Pros, the next step would likely be to bring them into the iMac desktops. The redesigned M1-powered iMac launched last year has proven to be in high demand thanks to the surge in global demand for reliable workstations for work-from-home needs. Any improvements to the desktop’s processing power will likely drive further demand from those who has yet to make the leap on an upgrade, especially as the rising tide of hybrid working and learning arrangements is proving to be a staying trend even in the post-pandemic era.Services are also expected to play a larger role in Apple’s growth trajectory going forward. About a quarter of Apple’s sales last year were attributable to the services segment. Yet, it only accounted for about 10% of Apple’s consolidated cost of sales, indicating the segment’s generous margins. And Apple’s bottom line will only further benefit from expectations for further growth in demand for Apple services going forward. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. And its recent push for a subscription-based business model across its wide array of existing service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings and pricing options will continue to be a key driver for the segment’s growth, and inadvertently, the company’s fast-expanding margins.Conclusion: AAPL’s Pullback Is a Buy OpportunityAlthough equities are likely to remain volatile in the near term due to uncertainties over the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening agenda, Apple will likely draw a rebound from Thursday’s earnings call. While lost revenues driven by COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions are likely a given, the tech giant is expected to have set a new record for fiscal first quarter sales on strong holiday season demand, nonetheless. Recent observations of easing supply chain constraints across Apple’s suppliers and manufacturing partners also signal improvements to the current year sales outlook, which bolsters investors’ confidence in the stock. And the continued strength in demand for Apple’s products and services will likely maintain the brand’s pricing power to beat any persisting inflation pressures ahead.As discussed in detail in our last coverage on the stock, Apple’s overall valuation prospects remain intact despite the impending rate hiking cycle. Robust global demand for Apple's offerings as discussed in the foregoing analysis are expected to further grow Apple's cheque book, making a strong tailwind against downward valuation pressures stemming from upcoming changes to the macro environment. We believe there's still a massive runway for the stock to grow in both the near and longer term, which makes its recent pullback in price a reasonable buy opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9905295843,"gmtCreate":1659889172305,"gmtModify":1703767380615,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Have to be patient and wait.

The commercial segment happens to be the smaller one out of the two, at least in terms of revenue, and amounted to nearly 46% of the company&#39;s total sales last quarter.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6c26bc211b592883ccfc648d76d754f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"545\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>Thanks to the rapid commercial customer adds in recent quarters, Palantir&#39;s commercial revenue has been growing at a breakneck pace of late and driving growth for the company as a whole. I expect this dynamic to continue in Q2 as well, with commercial revenue growing 10% sequentially and amounting to $225 million during Q2 2022.</p><p>The government segment contributed a little over 54% to Palantir&#39;s overall sales last quarter and the revenue stream has been growing at a relatively slower pace. This is, in part, due to the saturation in government customer additions as seen in the first section of this article. If the company&#39;s government customer base has saturated, then it&#39;s only natural that its government revenue stream would saturate as well.</p><p>What exacerbates the problem is that the inflow of federal government contracts has considerably slowed down in the last 2 quarters. Although Palantir&#39;s management noted in their last earnings call that they are &#34;seeing an acceleration of our U.S. government revenue&#34;, the ground reality isn&#39;t all that encouraging. As it turns out, the dollar-value of new orders signed with various US government agencies during Q2, is up 14% sequentially but still down 48% year over year. This means that even though Palantir has made some progress on this front, there&#39;s still a long way to go when compared to the company&#39;s own prior history with government contract wins.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/513e837064ffbf5b6adf1084eda3110b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"456\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>So, as far as Q2 is concerned, I expect Palantir&#39;s government revenue to grow marginally by 3% sequentially, with its revenue figure coming in at approximately $249 million. At this pace, I expect Palantir&#39;s commercial revenue to overtake its government revenue and become the leading contributor to the entire company&#39;s top line sometime in Q4 2022 or Q1 2023. But coming back to our discussion, this brings us to a company-wide revenue estimate of $474.1 million. My forecast is coincidentally in-line with the Street&#39;sestimatesthat are spanning from $470 million to $475.9 million.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a64133285cdbea23e36084f025bdfe2b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"209\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>But having said that, pay close attention to Palantir management&#39;s revenue and billings outlook for Q3. As companies and government agencies across the globe cut down on spending, Palantir might be affected as well. This could come in the form of order cancellations, deferred contract signings and/or slowing down revenue growth. So, look for management&#39;s comments on their growth momentum.</p><p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p>Palantir&#39;s shares are down 62% from their 52-week highs and they&#39;re now attractively valued at current levels. The stock is trading at 14-times its trailing twelve-month sales at the time of this writing, which is more or less in-line with many of the other rapidly growing software infrastructure stocks.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54f28bcdbe209a2f5851224c7db57676\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"349\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>BusinessQuant.com</p><p>I, personally, expect Palantir to continue growing rapidly in the next 2 years at the very least.

But, at the same time, I would recommend readers and investors to remain vigilant and monitor its customer additions, billings growth, segment financials and its management&#39;s outlook for Q3. These items will indicate if Palantir is succumbing to macroeconomic pressures or if its growth momentum remains intact.

Investors have known about Covid-related production problems in China for weeks. Covid lockdowns in Shanghai, for instance, shut Tesla’s plant in the area for weeks, costing Tesla (TSLA) perhaps 15,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2022.

XPeng delivered 9,002 vehicles in April, down from about 15,000 vehicles delivered in March, but up from about 5,000 delivered in April 2021.</p><p>Looking ahead, Wall Street expects XPeng sales to grow to about $1.3 billion in the second quarter, up from about $1.1 billion projected for the first quarter of 2022.

The numbers aren’t very good. That gives Tesla investors something else to worry about.NIO (ticker: NIO) delivered 5,074 vehicles in April, down from about 10,000 delivered in March and down from about 7,100 delivered in April of 2021.Looking ahead, Wall Street expects NIO to deliver about 31,000 vehicles in the second quarter, up from about 26,000 delivered in the first quarter of 2022. This isn’t a good start to the quarter.Covid appears to be the reason. “In late March and April 2022, the Company’s vehicle production and delivery have been impacted by the supply chain volatilities and other constraints caused by a new wave of the COVID-19 outbreaks in certain regions in China,” reads NIO’s news release.That isn’t a surprise. Investors have known about Covid-related production problems in China for weeks. Covid lockdowns in Shanghai, for instance, shut Tesla’s plant in the area for weeks, costing Tesla (TSLA) perhaps 15,000 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of 2022. Tesla ended up delivering about 310,000 vehicles, just up from the 309,000 delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.Li Auto (LI) delivered 4,167 vehicles in April, down from about 11,000 delivered in March and down from about 5,500 delivered in April 2021.Looking ahead, Wall Street expects Li sales to grow to about $1.9 billion in the second quarter, up from about $1.5 billion projected for the first quarter. Li delivered almost 32,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022.Li talked about Covid in its news release, too: “The COVID-19 resurgence in the Yangtze Delta region continues to cause severe industry-wide disruptions in supply chain, logistics and production since late March.” Li makes cars in Changzhou, in the center of the region, and gets most of the parts for its cars locally.XPeng (XPEV) results look a little better that Li or NIO numbers. XPeng delivered 9,002 vehicles in April, down from about 15,000 vehicles delivered in March, but up from about 5,000 delivered in April 2021.Looking ahead, Wall Street expects XPeng sales to grow to about $1.3 billion in the second quarter, up from about $1.1 billion projected for the first quarter of 2022. XPeng delivered almost 35,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2021.XPeng referenced Covid in its news release as well.Combined, the three delivered about 18,000 vehicles in April. That’s the worse monthly result since May 2021 and below the roughly 21,000 combined vehicle delivers in February 2022–when the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday impacted results.

The war in Ukraine has reportedly taken energy pipelines offline, contributing to higher energy costs and inflation. So there are very real reasons to be concerned. The question is,<i>&#34;is the stock market one of these reasons?&#34;</i></p><p>Going by history, no. Although the flash point moments in war do tend to be correlated with brief selloffs, stocks recover from these events quickly. There was only one case in the last 100 years in which a war was correlated with a long-term decline in stock prices but, as you&#39;re about to see, the war was not likely what caused stocks to go down that time. Generally speaking, wars can coincide with panic selling, but it doesn&#39;t last long. Given this, it would be foolhardy to sell your stocks right now because of the situation in Eastern Europe.</p><p><b>Wars and Stocks: the Correlation</b></p><p>If we look at historical market data, we can see that the very early moments of wars do tend to be correlated with stock market selloffs. A recentFortune article reviewed five major conflict situations and how they impacted stocks. It concluded that war-related stock market dips do occur, but tend to be short lived. The examples given are:</p><ul><li><p>World War 1: the Dow fell 30%, then was closed for six months, then surged 88% in 1915.</p></li><li><p>World War 2: 2.9% drawdown on the morning of the Pearl Harbor attack. Losses erased within a month.</p></li><li><p>Cuban Missile Crisis: tiny 1.2% selloff followed by a 10% gain for the remainder of the year.</p></li><li><p>9/11: 15% selloff within days of the attack. The market didn&#39;t find a bottom this time until 2002. It then went on to enter a bull market that lasted until 2008.</p></li><li><p>U.S. invading Iraq: stocks jumped 2.3% on the day of the invasion and ended the year up 30%.</p></li></ul><p>I&#39;ve included a chart below, borrowed from Trading Economics, that shows the approximate dates of the events above (except World War 1). Looking at it visually, you can see that all of these war-related events coincided with near term lows, but were followed by long-term gains. The one exception is 9/11: it took stocks nearly a year to find a bottom after that one. However, in that particular case, the long-term downtrend was not actually caused by the attack, as I&#39;ll explain shortly.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76d1ac70f5e16bcef0d0abacea19479d\" tg-width=\"816\" tg-height=\"517\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Trading Economics</span></p><p>As you can see, 9/11 occurred about halfway through a bear market that began in 2000 and ended in 2002. It was the one &#34;war&#34; related event of the five mentioned in Fortune that was followed by prolonged bearishness. However, it was also the one where there was a lot more than conflict contributing to the selloff. The 9/11 crash occurred about halfway through the Dotcom bubble burst. The bear market of the time was caused by the rapid collapse in prices of high flying tech stocks, some of which went bankrupt and were delisted. Notable examples included:</p><ul><li><p>Pets.com (went bankrupt).</p></li><li><p>Priceline (acquired after falling 94%).</p></li><li><p>Garden.com (shut down after falling to 9 cents a share).</p></li></ul><p>All of these stocks went bust long before 9/11 was part of the conversation. Therefore, it&#39;s hard to say how much of the losses in the 2000-2002 period were due to the bubble collapsing, and how much were due to 9/11. The 2000 bubble collapsed mainly due to valuation concerns, companies experiencing financial strain, and a series of interest rate hikes in1999 and 2000. At the peak, the NASDAQ had a 175 P/E ratio. These factors probably contributed to the 2000-2002 bear market more than any conflict did.</p><p>If we take the post-9/11 selloff without the historical context, then it took the markets a little under a year to recover from the 15% drawdown. That&#39;s not too bad, all things considered. Of course, the markets took much longer to get back to the highs set in 2000. The S&amp;P 500 took six years to get back to the previous top, the NASDAQ a full 15! So the bear market of 2000-2002 was quite long, and the recovery from it was even longer. But again, most of it took place long before 9/11. The losses incurred in the immediate aftermath of that event reversed in less than a year.</p><p><b>Why Isn&#39;t War Bad For Stocks?</b></p><p>Having established that war has not historically been bad for the stock market, the next logical question to ask is, &#34;why?&#34; War is certainly among the most destructive mass-scale activities human beings participate in. Lives are lost, infrastructure is destroyed, people are displaced, and the list just goes on and on. It certainly seems like wars destroy a lot of value. Why, then, do stocks generally go up when they are happening?</p><p>First, it helps to understand how broad the stock market really is.</p><p>To begin with just the U.S., the Wilshire 5000 index consists of 3,500 stocks. It is generally taken as equivalent to the total U.S. stock market. It may exclude some OTC stocks, but it is a pretty good proxy for U.S. listed securities.</p><p>Looking abroad, there are even more stocks to choose from. The OECD says that there are41,000 listed equities globally, and the number rises every year.</p><p>What all of this means is that the universe of stocks is very large. It follows logically from this that different stocks will respond to armed conflict in different ways. While you might find some companies out there that lose money because of armed conflict, you&#39;ll find others that won&#39;t. Some companies will inevitably do just fine. Out of respect for the lives in jeopardy in Eastern Europe right now, I will avoid any talk of arms dealers, defense contractors and other &#34;war beneficiary&#34; stocks. But I will draw your attention to one major industry that serves as a perfect illustration of how companies can thrive during wars:</p><p><b>Energy</b></p><p>As you might be aware, the Russia/Ukraine war has severely disrupted global energy supplies. Russia&#39;s Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been suspended, pipelines in Ukraine have been knocked out, and Western energy companies have withdrawn from Russia. Without a doubt, there are Russian energy companies that could lose a lot of money over this.<b>Gazprom</b>(OTCPK:OGZPY), for example, is heavily invested in the now suspended Nord Stream 2. Its stock had fallen 35% for the year before trading was suspended on February 25th. That&#39;s noteworthy because energy stocks as a whole rose in the same period.</p><p>So, Russian energy stocks are in a bad place right now.</p><p>But remember:</p><p><i>It&#39;s a big world out there.</i></p><p>All of the oil that&#39;s not flowing because of the Russia/Ukraine conflict has to be supplied by someone else. And because of the supply shock, that &#34;someone else&#34; is going to collect higher prices on the oil they sell. When supply decreases but demand is unchanged, prices rise. And right now, the global supply of oil is being reduced.</p><p>There are many companies that can thrive in such an environment. If you look at a Canadian energy company like <b>Suncor Energy</b>(SU), for example, it is about as insulated from the Russia/Ukraine situation as you can imagine. It makes money by selling gasoline to Canadians and by exporting crude oil to Americans. None of this is in any way threatened by the situation in Eastern Europe. Yet oil prices are rising worldwide, even in regions that are not being directly impacted by the conflict. Gasoline prices are rising right along side them. All of this means that Suncor gets to charge higher prices for its products than it did before. That results in higher earnings, as we saw the fourth quarter. In Q4, Suncor&#39;s funds from operations (FFO)grew 157%year-over-year. Net income and operating income swung from losses to profits. That was all thanks to oil prices rising year-over-year. Today, oil prices are even higher than they were in Q4, having set new 7 year highs. So Suncor should do even better in Q1.</p><p>What this example illustrates is the fact that equities can respond to crises in surprising ways. Sure, some are damaged by pandemonium, but others can do just fine. Overall, the presence of disorder in the world shouldn&#39;t affect your outlook. As history shows, it has little effect on the markets.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Fear, Panic And War Are Bad Reasons To Sell Stocks</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\">\nFear, Panic And War Are Bad Reasons To Sell Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-02 11:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMany people are concerned that the war in Ukraine will damage their portfolios.It is natural to be worried during scary situations, but history shows that times like now are poor times to sell....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1162614571","content_text":"SummaryMany people are concerned that the war in Ukraine will damage their portfolios.It is natural to be worried during scary situations, but history shows that times like now are poor times to sell.Generally speaking, stock market declines due to disaster scenarios are very short lived.In this article, I will make the case that many stocks (particularly energy stocks) will do just fine in this environment.The world is a scary place right now.

It then went on to enter a bull market that lasted until 2008.U.S. invading Iraq: stocks jumped 2.3% on the day of the invasion and ended the year up 30%.I've included a chart below, borrowed from Trading Economics, that shows the approximate dates of the events above (except World War 1). Looking at it visually, you can see that all of these war-related events coincided with near term lows, but were followed by long-term gains. The one exception is 9/11: it took stocks nearly a year to find a bottom after that one. However, in that particular case, the long-term downtrend was not actually caused by the attack, as I'll explain shortly.Trading EconomicsAs you can see, 9/11 occurred about halfway through a bear market that began in 2000 and ended in 2002. It was the one \"war\" related event of the five mentioned in Fortune that was followed by prolonged bearishness. However, it was also the one where there was a lot more than conflict contributing to the selloff. The 9/11 crash occurred about halfway through the Dotcom bubble burst. The bear market of the time was caused by the rapid collapse in prices of high flying tech stocks, some of which went bankrupt and were delisted. Notable examples included:Pets.com (went bankrupt).Priceline (acquired after falling 94%).Garden.com (shut down after falling to 9 cents a share).All of these stocks went bust long before 9/11 was part of the conversation. Therefore, it's hard to say how much of the losses in the 2000-2002 period were due to the bubble collapsing, and how much were due to 9/11. The 2000 bubble collapsed mainly due to valuation concerns, companies experiencing financial strain, and a series of interest rate hikes in1999 and 2000. At the peak, the NASDAQ had a 175 P/E ratio. These factors probably contributed to the 2000-2002 bear market more than any conflict did.If we take the post-9/11 selloff without the historical context, then it took the markets a little under a year to recover from the 15% drawdown. That's not too bad, all things considered. Of course, the markets took much longer to get back to the highs set in 2000. The S&P 500 took six years to get back to the previous top, the NASDAQ a full 15! So the bear market of 2000-2002 was quite long, and the recovery from it was even longer. But again, most of it took place long before 9/11. The losses incurred in the immediate aftermath of that event reversed in less than a year.Why Isn't War Bad For Stocks?Having established that war has not historically been bad for the stock market, the next logical question to ask is, \"why?\" War is certainly among the most destructive mass-scale activities human beings participate in. Lives are lost, infrastructure is destroyed, people are displaced, and the list just goes on and on. It certainly seems like wars destroy a lot of value. Why, then, do stocks generally go up when they are happening?First, it helps to understand how broad the stock market really is.To begin with just the U.S., the Wilshire 5000 index consists of 3,500 stocks. It is generally taken as equivalent to the total U.S. stock market. It may exclude some OTC stocks, but it is a pretty good proxy for U.S. listed securities.Looking abroad, there are even more stocks to choose from. The OECD says that there are41,000 listed equities globally, and the number rises every year.What all of this means is that the universe of stocks is very large. It follows logically from this that different stocks will respond to armed conflict in different ways. While you might find some companies out there that lose money because of armed conflict, you'll find others that won't. Some companies will inevitably do just fine. Out of respect for the lives in jeopardy in Eastern Europe right now, I will avoid any talk of arms dealers, defense contractors and other \"war beneficiary\" stocks. But I will draw your attention to one major industry that serves as a perfect illustration of how companies can thrive during wars:EnergyAs you might be aware, the Russia/Ukraine war has severely disrupted global energy supplies. Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been suspended, pipelines in Ukraine have been knocked out, and Western energy companies have withdrawn from Russia. Without a doubt, there are Russian energy companies that could lose a lot of money over this.Gazprom(OTCPK:OGZPY), for example, is heavily invested in the now suspended Nord Stream 2. Its stock had fallen 35% for the year before trading was suspended on February 25th. That's noteworthy because energy stocks as a whole rose in the same period.So, Russian energy stocks are in a bad place right now.But remember:It's a big world out there.All of the oil that's not flowing because of the Russia/Ukraine conflict has to be supplied by someone else. And because of the supply shock, that \"someone else\" is going to collect higher prices on the oil they sell. When supply decreases but demand is unchanged, prices rise. And right now, the global supply of oil is being reduced.There are many companies that can thrive in such an environment. If you look at a Canadian energy company like Suncor Energy(SU), for example, it is about as insulated from the Russia/Ukraine situation as you can imagine. It makes money by selling gasoline to Canadians and by exporting crude oil to Americans. None of this is in any way threatened by the situation in Eastern Europe. Yet oil prices are rising worldwide, even in regions that are not being directly impacted by the conflict. Gasoline prices are rising right along side them. All of this means that Suncor gets to charge higher prices for its products than it did before. That results in higher earnings, as we saw the fourth quarter. In Q4, Suncor's funds from operations (FFO)grew 157%year-over-year. Net income and operating income swung from losses to profits. That was all thanks to oil prices rising year-over-year. Today, oil prices are even higher than they were in Q4, having set new 7 year highs. So Suncor should do even better in Q1.What this example illustrates is the fact that equities can respond to crises in surprising ways. Sure, some are damaged by pandemonium, but others can do just fine. Overall, the presence of disorder in the world shouldn't affect your outlook. As history shows, it has little effect on the markets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9934236784,"gmtCreate":1663252976548,"gmtModify":1676537237361,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Monitor 1st on the downtrend.&nbsp;","listText":"Monitor 1st on the downtrend.&nbsp;","text":"Monitor 1st on the downtrend.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9934236784","repostId":"1129278199","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129278199","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":1663248804,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129278199?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-15 21:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stocks Slide at the Open As Traders Weigh Latest Batch of Economic Data, Inflation Concerns","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129278199","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stocks fell on Thursday as investors mulled over several economic reports that showed a muddy p","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stocks fell on Thursday as investors mulled over several economic reports that showed a muddy picture of the U.S. economy.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked down 60 points, or 0.2%.

The airline sector will also be watched closely, with Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) due to report earnings and update on Q2-Q3 booking trends. Federal Reserve speakers will also make the circuit as investors continue to eye the pace of rate hikes, while the economic calendar is headlined by the highly anticipated Consumer Price Index report on April 12. The CPI is expected to show inflation rising 1.1% in March on a month-to-month comparison and 8.4% from a year ago. That&#39;s an acceleration from the pace seen in February. Updates on producer prices, retail sales and consumer sentiment are also due in next week.

Meanwhile, the quiet period ends on April 11 for Akanda (AKAN), which will free up analysts to post ratings. Investors should also keep an eye on IPO lockup expirations hitting during the week on Healthcare Triangle (HCTI), Gitlab (GTLB), IHS Holding (IHS), Lucid Diagnostics (LUCD) and MiNK (INKT). All those stocks are currently trading below their IPO price levels.</p><p><b>AACR meeting:</b> The annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research will continue to run, with trial data expected out from a large number of companies, including Vaccinex (VCNX), Bicyle Therapeutics (BCYC), Repare Therapeutics (RPTX), AIM ImmunoTech (AIM and LLY. Bank of America singled out C4 Therapeutics (CCCC) as a potential share price mover off the data release, while Wells Fargo identified Affimed (AFMD), Gracell Biotechnologies (GRCL) and IMV Inc.

On April 13, PVH Corp. (NYSE:PVH) will host an Investor Day event to provide an overview of the company&#39;s multi-year strategic growth plan, and Ford (F) Chief Financial Officer John Lawler will participate in a fireside chat at Bank of America’s Global Automotive Summit. Also watch for Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk&#39;s TED talk, which should attract a lot of attention following the large stake he recently took in Twitter (TWTR).

Here&#39;s a more detailed list of events that may impact share prices next week.</p><p><b>Tesla watching:</b> Tesla (TSLA) will be in the spotlight once again next week, with investors sizing up the significance of the ramp-up of production that will follow the opening of the gigafactories in Berlin and Austin. Wedbush Securities forecasts Tesla (TSLA) could exit the year with an annual production run rate of 2 million vehicles, although the zero-tolerance COVID policy in Shanghai is a significant wildcard. Tesla&#39;s scale advantage with production and EV tech is seen potentially creating separation with EV upstarts like Fisker (FSR), Lucid Group (LCID) and Rivian Automotive (RIVN) if the market turns further toward risk-off trading.</p><p><b>Large-cap banks earnings preview:</b> U.S. bank heavyweights will report earnings next week amid expectations that profit will fall sharply from the level recorded a year ago, when deal-making was revving higher. Net income for the six biggest U.S. banks is forecast to be down about 35% from last year, with a sharp deceleration in activity seen during March following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Bank reports will be watched closely on the costs side, particularly with labor, technology and acquisition expenses rising.

The newsletter keeps you informed of the biggest stories set to make headlines, including upcoming IPOs, investor days, earnings reports and conference presentations.Stocks to Watch subscribers can also tune in on Sundays for a curated podcast that's available on Seeking Alpha, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and Spotify.The week ahead will mark the beginning of the Q1 earnings season, with big banks such as JPMorgan Chase (JMP), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) heading into the earnings confessional. The airline sector will also be watched closely, with Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) due to report earnings and update on Q2-Q3 booking trends. Federal Reserve speakers will also make the circuit as investors continue to eye the pace of rate hikes, while the economic calendar is headlined by the highly anticipated Consumer Price Index report on April 12. The CPI is expected to show inflation rising 1.1% in March on a month-to-month comparison and 8.4% from a year ago. That's an acceleration from the pace seen in February. Updates on producer prices, retail sales and consumer sentiment are also due in next week. In the tech sector, a question-and-answer session next week at Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) with employees and new board director Elon Musk could create some jolts.Earnings spotlight: Tuesday, April 12 Albertsons (ACI) and CarMax (KMX).Earnings spotlight: Wednesday, April 13Bed, Bath & Beyond (BBBY), BlackRock (BLK), Delta Air Lines (DAL) and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM).Earnings spotlight: Thursday, April 14Ally Financial (ALLY), Citigroup (C), Goldman Sachs (GS), Rite Aid (RAD), Morgan Stanley (MS), PNC Financial (PNC) and Wells Fargo (WFC).IPO watch: Excelerate Energy (EE) is expected to start trading next week. Meanwhile, the quiet period ends on April 11 for Akanda (AKAN), which will free up analysts to post ratings. Investors should also keep an eye on IPO lockup expirations hitting during the week on Healthcare Triangle (HCTI), Gitlab (GTLB), IHS Holding (IHS), Lucid Diagnostics (LUCD) and MiNK (INKT). All those stocks are currently trading below their IPO price levels.AACR meeting: The annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research will continue to run, with trial data expected out from a large number of companies, including Vaccinex (VCNX), Bicyle Therapeutics (BCYC), Repare Therapeutics (RPTX), AIM ImmunoTech (AIM and LLY. Bank of America singled out C4 Therapeutics (CCCC) as a potential share price mover off the data release, while Wells Fargo identified Affimed (AFMD), Gracell Biotechnologies (GRCL) and IMV Inc. (IMV) as the companies with key updates.Corporate events: Ambev (ABEV) will hold a Investor Day event from Sao Paulo, Brazil, on April 11-12. Enerplus Corp. (ERF) will hold a webcast for investors on the Bakken on April 12, and T2 Biosystems (TTOO) will host an Analyst and Investor Day event that is set to focus on the company’s commercial strategy and product pipeline. On April 13, PVH Corp. (NYSE:PVH) will host an Investor Day event to provide an overview of the company's multi-year strategic growth plan, and Ford (F) Chief Financial Officer John Lawler will participate in a fireside chat at Bank of America’s Global Automotive Summit. Also watch for Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk's TED talk, which should attract a lot of attention following the large stake he recently took in Twitter (TWTR). The week is capped off with Ooma (NYSE:OOMA) hosting a virtual Investor Day on April 14.Conference schedule: The Jefferies Virtual Space Summit will include appearances from upstarts like Redwire Corporation (RDW), Spire Global (SPIR) and BlackSky Technology (BKSY). The conference schedule also includes the Needham Healthcare Conference, the Wells Fargo Biotech Forum, the Cantor U.S. Cannabis Conference and the Canaccord Genuity Horizons in Oncology Virtual Conference. Here's a more detailed list of events that may impact share prices next week.Tesla watching: Tesla (TSLA) will be in the spotlight once again next week, with investors sizing up the significance of the ramp-up of production that will follow the opening of the gigafactories in Berlin and Austin. Wedbush Securities forecasts Tesla (TSLA) could exit the year with an annual production run rate of 2 million vehicles, although the zero-tolerance COVID policy in Shanghai is a significant wildcard. Tesla's scale advantage with production and EV tech is seen potentially creating separation with EV upstarts like Fisker (FSR), Lucid Group (LCID) and Rivian Automotive (RIVN) if the market turns further toward risk-off trading.Large-cap banks earnings preview: U.S. bank heavyweights will report earnings next week amid expectations that profit will fall sharply from the level recorded a year ago, when deal-making was revving higher. Net income for the six biggest U.S. banks is forecast to be down about 35% from last year, with a sharp deceleration in activity seen during March following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Bank reports will be watched closely on the costs side, particularly with labor, technology and acquisition expenses rising. UBS thinks there could be a surprise to the upside for the sector with guidance likely to highlight that the benefits of higher rates and better-than-anticipated loan growth could offset higher credit cost provisions and weaker equity markets.

Buffett has been on a buying spree as of late -- adding to Berkshire&#39;s position in <b>Occidental Petroleum</b> and buying insurance company Alleghany for around $11.6 billion.</p><p>Berkshire has a lot of attractive holdings, but four dividend stocks that stand out above the rest are <b>United Parcel Service</b>, <b>Chevron</b>, <b>Procter &amp; Gamble</b>, and <b>Coca-Cola</b>. Here&#39;s what makes each stock a great buy now.</p><h2>1. There&#39;s never been a better time to own UPS</h2><p>UPS and <b>FedEx</b> stock are both down over 13% since March 29 despite both companies continuing to report excellent results. The issue isn&#39;t how either company has done but rather where it could be headed from here.</p><p>UPS and FedEx have been successful in raising prices to combat inflation. But FedEx&#39;s commentary during its third-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings call on March 18 was a bit concerning. &#34;Several macroeconomic forces, including the tragic conflict in Ukraine, uncertainty around the pandemic, a tight labor market, supply chain disruptions, high energy prices, and inflationary pressure have dampened the current GDP outlook globally and for the United States,&#34; said Brie Carere, FedEx Chief Marketing and Communications Officer during the recent earnings call.</p><p>However, UPS posted record-high revenue and a high operating margin throughout 2021, which allowed it to raise its dividend by a staggering 49%. UPS grew its business in 2020 and 2021 while many other industrial companies were struggling. It expects growth to slow in 2022 but continues to see strength in e-commerce and its international segment. With a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 13.1 and a dividend yield of 3.1%, UPS is simply too good to pass up.</p><h2>2. Chevron is mostly protected from downside risk</h2><p>Like the rest of the oil majors, Chevron is having an excellent year as high oil and natural gas prices provide a much-needed reprieve for energy companies that got taken to the cleaners during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Many exploration and production companies have more exposure to oil and gas upside than Chevron. But what Chevron has that many of its competitors don&#39;t is an excellent balance sheet, a low cost of production, and a track record for paying and raising its dividend. Given its solid fundamentals, it&#39;s no wonder why Chevron is the 11th largest holding in Berkshire&#39;s portfolio.</p><h2>3. Procter &amp; Gamble may just be the safest stock on the planet</h2><p>Like UPS, Procter &amp; Gamble isn&#39;t immune to inflation. But it has found ways to pass along those costs to customers. Sophisticated supply chains have helped Procter &amp; Gamble retain high gross margins, while other consumer staple companies have been more affected by supply chain disruptions.</p><p>Procter &amp; Gamble is not an inexpensive stock or a fast-growing company. And it isn&#39;t a great value either, with shares hovering around a 52-week high and a P/E ratio of 28.1. However, P&amp;G is a battle-tested business that has done well during periods of high inflation and even recessions.</p><p>Like other defensive stocks, such as <b>Walmart</b> or <b>Costco Wholesale</b>, P&amp;G stock deserves a premium price because its business should continue to do well even if the macroeconomic situation worsens. P&amp;G has paid and raised its annual dividend for over 65 consecutive years, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the longest-tenured Dividend Kings. A Dividend King is an <b>S&amp;P 500</b> component that has paid and raised its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years.</p><h2>4. Coca-Cola has a high dividend yield and a stable business</h2><p>Although Coca-Cola is a completely different company from P&amp;G, the investment thesis for both stocks is very similar. Like P&amp;G, Coca-Cola is a Dividend King and has several well-known brands that consumers know and love. From its flagship soda products to Simply, Minute Maid, Vitamin Water, Smart Water, and acquisitions like Topo Chico, Coca-Cola is so much more than just the Coca-Cola brand.</p><p>The investment thesis for Coca-Cola is that folks are unlikely to cut their spending on its products even during economic downturns -- making its business stable. Coca-Cola stock has a 2.8% dividend yield, which is quite a bit higher than P&amp;G&#39;s 2.2%.</p><h2>A diversified basket of proven passive income winners</h2><p>Investing in equal parts of UPS, Chevron, Procter &amp; Gamble, and Coca-Cola gives an investor a dividend yield of 2.9% and exposure to the industrial sector, the energy sector, and two different industries in the consumer staples sector. All four companies are long-term proven winners but are especially attractive buys during times of high volatility because investors can be confident that each business isn&#39;t going away anytime soon.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>4 Unstoppable Warren Buffett Dividend Stocks That are Passive Income Machines</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\">\n4 Unstoppable Warren Buffett Dividend Stocks That are Passive Income Machines\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-10 11:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/09/4-unstoppable-warren-buffett-dividend-stocks-that/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett made headlines on Thursday after Berkshire Hathaway announced a roughly $4.2 billion stake in HP.

With the possible exception of billionaires, just about everyone does. The idea spawned a British (and then an American) quiz show. On television, it can happen overnight.</p><p>In investing, becoming a millionaire takes time. Buying shares of high-performing companies can, over time, produce life-changing gains. <b>The</b> <b>Trade</b> <b>Desk</b>, <b>Paycom Software</b>, and <b>Align</b> <b>Technology</b> are three that I believe have that potential.</p><p>Let&#39;s look at their earnings, growth rates, and valuations to see how they could transform a $100,000 portfolio into a seven-figure retirement nest egg over the next decade.</p><h2>1. The Trade Desk</h2><p>There is an old saying in the advertising business that half of ad spending is wasted, but nobody knows which half. The Trade Desk is eliminating that waste with its data-driven self-service platform. Its customers manage their ad spending on more than 500 billion digital opportunities per day. The goal is to help customers make the most intelligent ad-buying decisions and provide them with an abundance of performance feedback. In today&#39;s digital economy, it&#39;s invaluable.</p><p>And business is growing like a weed. Earnings per share (EPS) are expected to climb more than 23% next year. That&#39;s a reasonable rate to use in our calculation. The company has grown revenue 375% over the past five years. Also, gross spend on Trade Desk&#39;s platform climbed 47% last year to $6.2 billion. And management pegs the global ad-spend opportunity at $750 billion, with about $50 billion in display advertising. That offers plenty of room to grow for years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3105e52ee3274f0a262bd444d428b18f\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TTD revenue (TTM). Data by YCharts. TTM = trailing 12 months.</p><p>Wall Street sees the potential. The Trade Desk&#39;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has varied between 40 and 120 over the past few years. We&#39;ll use 50 for our calculations.</p><p>Doing the math on an initial investment of $33,333.33 (a third of the $100,000) leads to a stake in The Trade Desk worth almost $190,000 in 2032. That relies on bold assumptions. But they are well within what the company has delivered so far.</p><h2>2. Paycom</h2><p>Paycom offers businesses a platform to manage employee payroll, time and attendance, and benefits administration, among other things. Its product was built for the cloud. That&#39;s different from many traditional human capital management (HCM) vendors that have pieced together acquired software over the years.</p><p>Customers can clearly tell the difference. Paycom topped $1 billion in revenue last year for the first time, a 26% increase over 2020. Most importantly, that revenue is recurring and sticky. Revenue retention was 94% in 2021. Customers stick around once they start using the platform.</p><p>Before the pandemic, Paycom&#39;s top line was expanding between 30% and 45% each year. We&#39;ll use last year&#39;s 26% for our calculation and apply a multiple of 60 times earnings. That seems high. But shares have stayed within a range of 50 to 100 times earnings over the years.</p><p>For Paycom, that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-third of the $100,000 hypothetically invested in 2022 turns into more than $350,000 a decade from now. That would make it a 10-bagger. While it might seem unlikely, if the market continues to reward predictable revenue, and Paycom continues to grow, it&#39;s possible. After all, its $1.1 billion in 2021 revenue is a drop in the bucket of an HCM market that is predicted to reach $47 billion by 2029.</p><h2>3. Align Technology</h2><p>The company best known for its Invisalign clear teeth-straightening system is actually a vertically integrated combination of several businesses. They all help people get straighter teeth faster, and orthodontists and dentists see more clients every year. It also provides scanners and software -- two acquisitions -- that help practitioners develop and communicate a plan for patients.</p><p>The growth opportunity is tremendous. Management estimates 500 million potential customers in the world with 21 million orthodontic starts each year -- two-thirds of them teens. For context, it shipped 2.55 million aligners last year.</p><p>Align is the crown jewel in our attempt to grow a million-dollar portfolio. The $33,333.33 invested in it could grow over the next 10 years into $461,000. That&#39;s assuming the $12.50 analysts expect this year grows at the midpoint of management&#39;s long-term guidance of 20% to 30% a year. Similar to the other two stocks, Align typically trades at a premium. We&#39;ll use 50 times earnings, slightly above the bottom of the 40 to 100 historical P/E range. It&#39;s an amazing potential return when running the numbers.</p><h2>&#34;It&#39;s tough to make predictions, especially about the future&#34;</h2><p>That quote from Yankees legend Yogi Berra underscores a key point in the analysis above. No one knows what the world is going to look like in 10 years. Investors with a long-term mindset need to block out the noise without being irresponsible.</p><p>The Trade Desk, Paycom, and Align have all grown rapidly while turning a profit. I expect that to continue. If the assumptions hold, a $100,000 investment will be worth $1 million in 10 short years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b4adf9eeb7896d353fe014f3f351429\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"302\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Calculations and chart by author.</p><p>It&#39;s an interesting exercise that relies on the past as a guide.

Where Web 2.0 saw the rise of mobile computing and social media platforms, Web 3.0 will see the emergence of virtual experiences, such as virtual sporting events, meeting rooms, and other immersive experiences where people communicate, play, and work. Many industries could benefit from this new technology.Goldman Sachs estimates the development of the metaverse will cost anywhere from $135 billion to $1.35 trillion over the next several years.Here's why Roblox, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft are my three favoritemetaverse stocks to buy right now.1. RobloxThe metaverse could have a wide variety of use cases across all industries, from gaming to manufacturing. But looking at the opportunity from the entertainment side, Roblox is well-positioned to be a leader. It ended November with 49 million daily active users that can access the platform from PCs with virtual reality equipment, game consoles, and mobile devices.Roblox makes money from a virtual currency (Robux) that is used to access new experiences and buy virtual items for personal avatars. Revenue more than doubled in the third quarter, with daily active users up 31%.Roblox is not just about games for kids, either. Music artists are hosting live virtual concerts to connect with fans and raise awareness for new albums. Netflix launched an experience on the platform based on the hit showStranger Things. Toward the end of last year, Nike unveiled Nikeland, with virtual tennis and basketball courts and other activities for users to spend time with.Brands' interest in investing in new experiences on Roblox is a great sign for the stickiness of the platform. Investments by big brands are increasing its appeal and positioning Roblox to continue growing its base of users. Management's goal is to reach billions of users. Against this long runway of growth, the recent dip in the share price looks like a good buying opportunity.2. Meta PlatformsWith 2.9 billion monthly active users on Facebook, Meta Platforms is a no-brainer metaverse stock. It's got a war chest of cash to spend on consumer products, such as Oculus virtual reality products, not to mention data centers and other necessary infrastructure to bring its metaverse ambitions to life.Facebook has spent approximately $21 billion on data centers over the last decade to build a total of 18 in the U.S. and internationally, according to Goldman Sachs. It has plans to build as many as 70 more buildings.Combine that with the company's move to split its financial reporting into two segments -- Family of Apps (social media) and Facebook Reality Labs (metaverse) -- and you can see how seriously CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking this opportunity.Meta Platforms is still putting up solid revenue and earnings growth, and thesocial media leader looks undervaluedat a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.3. MicrosoftMicrosoft is another reasonably valued tech stock that is well positioned to benefit from the development of Web 3.0. With its growing Xbox gaming business, the company's investments in cloud infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, and the development of the HoloLens mixed-reality headset, the software giant has all the pieces in place to capitalize on this opportunity.HoloLens has been in development for many years. It is a headset with transparent glasses that lets the user see 3D objects in real space. It's not a consumer product, but is designed for businesses using 3D design as part of the manufacturing process. Elsewhere, Microsoft has plans to turn its Teams video conferencing app into a virtual experience using virtual reality and augmented reality goggles.Of course, gaming will be a natural extension of the metaverse. Microsoft already has a potentially valuable gaming property that behaves like a metaverse inMinecraft. Plus, if the pendingacquisition of Activision Blizzard is approved by regulators, it will significantly expand Xbox Game Studios' programming talent to build the 3D environments that defines the metaverse -- something the talented folks at Blizzard are pretty good at.Microsoft trades at a forward P/E of 32, which looks attractive against expectations for double-digit growth across its business over the next several years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9085548756,"gmtCreate":1650747135748,"gmtModify":1676534784416,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So unpredictable&nbsp;","listText":"So unpredictable&nbsp;","text":"So unpredictable","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9085548756","repostId":"2229599011","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2229599011","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1650691800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2229599011?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-23 13:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Will Nvidia Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2025?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2229599011","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The chipmaker nearly joined the twelve-zero club last year, but it could be awhile before it gets back there.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Nvidia</b>&#39;s stock closed at an all-time high of $333.76 on Nov. 29, 2021, which gave the chipmaker a market cap of $834 billion.

However, an investment firm with $586 million in assets under management (AUM) recently submitted its Q1 13F form to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Institutional investors must submit a 13F form to report their equity holdings at the end of each quarter. The filer, <b>Spence Asset Management</b>, disclosed that it had purchased over a million shares of Palantir during Q1.</p><p>Spence Asset Management Buys PLTR Stock</p><p>Spence disclosed that it had purchased 1.39 million shares of Palantir. The firm was not required to report its purchase price, although the purchase occurred sometime during Q1. In Q1, Palantir traded in a range between $9.75 and $18.53. After the purchase, Palantir is now Spence’s ninth-largest position out of 35 total positions. At current prices, the firm’s PLTR stake is worth about $17.9 million.</p><p>In addition, it can be assumed that Spence purchased PLTR stock as an investment and not as a trade. This is because the firm has an average holding period of 10.51 quarters, or 2.6 years. With the 13F filing, Spence also disclosed its entire stock portfolio. The firm’s top three positions as of Q1 are:</p><ol><li><b>Visa</b>(NYSE:<b><u>V</u></b>): 174,920 shares.</li><li><b>Mastercard</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MA</u></b>): 103,915 shares.</li><li><b>Alphabet</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>): 11,465 shares.</li></ol><p>Who Else Is Betting Big On Palantir?</p><p>Tracking aggregate institutional ownership is important, as these large funds provide liquidity and price support. Spence was early to file its 13F filing, as the deadline to submit the form is45 days after the end of each quarter. The end of Q1 occurred on March 31, so the deadline falls on May 16. As a result, most investment funds have not yet submitted a Q1 13F form.</p><p>As of Q4, 791 funds reported owning Palantir, an increase of 10 funds from the prior quarter. Additionally, 153 funds reported initiating a new position, while 131 funds closed out their position. On top of that, the institutional put/call ratio tallies in at 1.6, which means that funds own more put options against PLTR stock than call options by a wide margin.

However, an investment firm with $586 million in assets under management (AUM) recently submitted its Q1 13F form to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Institutional investors must submit a 13F form to report their equity holdings at the end of each quarter. The filer, Spence Asset Management, disclosed that it had purchased over a million shares of Palantir during Q1.Spence Asset Management Buys PLTR StockSpence disclosed that it had purchased 1.39 million shares of Palantir. The firm was not required to report its purchase price, although the purchase occurred sometime during Q1. In Q1, Palantir traded in a range between $9.75 and $18.53. After the purchase, Palantir is now Spence’s ninth-largest position out of 35 total positions. At current prices, the firm’s PLTR stake is worth about $17.9 million.In addition, it can be assumed that Spence purchased PLTR stock as an investment and not as a trade. This is because the firm has an average holding period of 10.51 quarters, or 2.6 years. With the 13F filing, Spence also disclosed its entire stock portfolio. The firm’s top three positions as of Q1 are:Visa(NYSE:V): 174,920 shares.Mastercard(NYSE:MA): 103,915 shares.Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG): 11,465 shares.Who Else Is Betting Big On Palantir?Tracking aggregate institutional ownership is important, as these large funds provide liquidity and price support. Spence was early to file its 13F filing, as the deadline to submit the form is45 days after the end of each quarter. The end of Q1 occurred on March 31, so the deadline falls on May 16. As a result, most investment funds have not yet submitted a Q1 13F form.As of Q4, 791 funds reported owning Palantir, an increase of 10 funds from the prior quarter. Additionally, 153 funds reported initiating a new position, while 131 funds closed out their position. On top of that, the institutional put/call ratio tallies in at 1.6, which means that funds own more put options against PLTR stock than call options by a wide margin.

All of these declines are based on data fromS&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.</p><p>There are multiple factors behind the sharp sell-off of these vaccine stocks. Perhaps most importantly, investors appear to be looking beyond the current surge in COVID-19 cases to a future where the demand for vaccines could be lower. The World Health Organization&#39;s (WHO) chief scientist also stated publicly on Tuesday that there&#39;s no evidence that booster doses are needed for healthy children and adolescents.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d26561931e10f5ca9eea3a42da88654\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p><p>BioNTech&#39;s shares are down the most because of new results announced this week from a clinical study conducted in Israel. This study found that a fourth booster dose of Comirnaty, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by BioNTech and its partner,<b>Pfizer</b>(NYSE:PFE), isn&#39;t effective at preventing infections by the coronavirus omicron variant.</p><p>This news also appeared to negatively affect Moderna. Like the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, Moderna&#39;s COVID-19 vaccine Spikevax uses messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. Investors seem to be concerned that a fourth booster dose of Spikevax won&#39;t be effective at preventing infection by omicron either.</p><p><b>So what</b></p><p>The prospects of reduced demand for COVID-19 vaccines is something that should be concerning to investors. This scenario would mean lower revenue for BioNTech and Moderna, which already have COVID-19 vaccines on the market in the U.S. and across the world.</p><p>It could also translate to a tough climb ahead for Novavax and Ocugen. Novavax&#39;s COVID-19 vaccine has recently won authorizations or approvals in several countries, although not in the U.S. yet. Ocugen owns the rights to market Covaxin in the U.S. and Canada but hasn&#39;t secured authorizations in either country.</p><p>However, it&#39;s too early to know if vaccine demand will actually decline significantly. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned this week that new coronavirus variants are likely to emerge after the current omicron wave wanes. The organization&#39;s COVID-19 technical lead, Maria Van Kerkhove, stated, &#34;We&#39;re hearing a lot of people suggest that omicron is the last variant, that it&#39;s over after this. And that is not the case because this virus is circulating at a very intense level around the world.&#34;</p><p>As for the WHO&#39;s take that boosters for healthy children and adolescents aren&#39;t necessary, it remains to be seen if countries will go along. The U.S. government continues to encourage adolescents ages 12 and up to receive a third booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.</p><p>But what about the new data from Israel about a fourth dose of Comirnaty? This probably isn&#39;t as worrisome as it might seem at first glance. Pfizer and BioNTech expect to have their omicron-specific vaccine ready by March. Moderna is developing a version of its vaccine that targets the omicron variant as well.</p><p><b>Now what</b></p><p>The most important thing, by far, for investors to watch now is what happens next with the COVID-19 pandemic. The spread of new coronavirus variants could completely change the market dynamics for these companies.</p><p>Despite its dismal stock performance, Novavax has actually enjoyed some good news recently.

All of these declines are based on data fromS&P Global Market Intelligence.There are multiple factors behind the sharp sell-off of these vaccine stocks. Perhaps most importantly, investors appear to be looking beyond the current surge in COVID-19 cases to a future where the demand for vaccines could be lower. The World Health Organization's (WHO) chief scientist also stated publicly on Tuesday that there's no evidence that booster doses are needed for healthy children and adolescents.IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.BioNTech's shares are down the most because of new results announced this week from a clinical study conducted in Israel. This study found that a fourth booster dose of Comirnaty, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by BioNTech and its partner,Pfizer(NYSE:PFE), isn't effective at preventing infections by the coronavirus omicron variant.This news also appeared to negatively affect Moderna. Like the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine Spikevax uses messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. Investors seem to be concerned that a fourth booster dose of Spikevax won't be effective at preventing infection by omicron either.So whatThe prospects of reduced demand for COVID-19 vaccines is something that should be concerning to investors. This scenario would mean lower revenue for BioNTech and Moderna, which already have COVID-19 vaccines on the market in the U.S. and across the world.It could also translate to a tough climb ahead for Novavax and Ocugen. Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine has recently won authorizations or approvals in several countries, although not in the U.S. yet. Ocugen owns the rights to market Covaxin in the U.S. and Canada but hasn't secured authorizations in either country.However, it's too early to know if vaccine demand will actually decline significantly. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned this week that new coronavirus variants are likely to emerge after the current omicron wave wanes. The organization's COVID-19 technical lead, Maria Van Kerkhove, stated, \"We're hearing a lot of people suggest that omicron is the last variant, that it's over after this. And that is not the case because this virus is circulating at a very intense level around the world.\"As for the WHO's take that boosters for healthy children and adolescents aren't necessary, it remains to be seen if countries will go along. The U.S. government continues to encourage adolescents ages 12 and up to receive a third booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.But what about the new data from Israel about a fourth dose of Comirnaty? This probably isn't as worrisome as it might seem at first glance. Pfizer and BioNTech expect to have their omicron-specific vaccine ready by March. Moderna is developing a version of its vaccine that targets the omicron variant as well.Now whatThe most important thing, by far, for investors to watch now is what happens next with the COVID-19 pandemic. The spread of new coronavirus variants could completely change the market dynamics for these companies.Despite its dismal stock performance, Novavax has actually enjoyed some good news recently. The company won approvals for its COVID-19 vaccine in France and in Australia over the last several days. Novavax expects to soon complete its filing for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the U.S.Ocugen has already submitted for U.S. EUA of Covaxin in children. However, the company still awaits the lifting of a clinical hold placed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a planned late-stage clinical study of the vaccine.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":278,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9024799942,"gmtCreate":1653919831286,"gmtModify":1676535362595,"author":{"id":"3581755680880731","authorId":"3581755680880731","name":"ThorG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caca02694100c4e407196f3bbb503896","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581755680880731","authorIdStr":"3581755680880731"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Must monitor&nbsp;","listText":"Must monitor&nbsp;","text":"Must monitor","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9024799942","repostId":"2238520329","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2238520329","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1653912407,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2238520329?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-30 20:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Web3 Was Supposed to Save the Internet.

Among crypto start-ups, investment is harder to come by, and valuations are falling. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a> forecasts that failure rates will rise.</p><p>Crypto fans talking up Web3 as a revolution face pushback from critics who see it as a marketing gimmick. In the end, Web3 is likely to fall somewhere in between.</p><p>&#34;We may have to go through <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> or two hype cycles before the most important elements of the technology break through,&#34; says Gavin Wood, a co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain and head of another blockchain enterprise called Polkadot. As he sees it, Web3 today is where the internet was in 1998 -- early in its adoption but with vast potential and boom-bust cycles ahead.</p><p>&#34;Web3 is the next generation of the internet with capabilities that go well beyond what we have today,&#34; says Mark Palmer, a digital-asset analyst at brokerage BTIG. &#34;But the citizenry is not rising up to overthrow Web2.&#34;</p><p>Understanding Web3 requires a dip in the hot-tub time machine. Web1, the first generation from the 1990s, was based on static pages and directories that served as the first internet indexes. Web1&#39;s dial-up services, browsers, and banner ads evolved into the more modern internet, which came to be known as Web2. Companies like Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">$(MSFT)$</a> now oversee the core of our web experiences. Walled gardens like Instagram, YouTube, and Apple&#39;s App Store prevail. Digital assets like videogame avatars and social-media followings sit on platforms owned by the giants.</p><p>In some ways, Web3 aims to turn back the clock, cutting out the intermediaries and dispersing apps, services, and digital assets on decentralized networks like Ethereum and other blockchains. Today, those networks are primarily used for trading and lending crypto assets, including new varieties like nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, and stablecoins, which are designed to maintain a fixed value.</p><p>But all sorts of other financial products and services could live on blockchains, potentially reducing the economic friction now associated with cross-border payments and transaction fees for goods and services. &#34;Blockchains have the potential to clear and settle transactions in a much more efficient way than traditional technology,&#34; says Sarah Hammer, an adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School who specializes in crypto.</p><p>One example of Web3 already in practice is Filecoin, a crypto-powered storage network. Rather than storing files on cloud-based servers -- where they are ultimately controlled by a handful of big-tech operators -- they can be distributed and encrypted on personal hard drives with spare capacity. Testimonies of Holocaust and other genocide survivors are being preserved through Filecoin.</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s like Airbnb for file storage,&#34; says Marta Belcher, president and chair of the Filecoin Foundation. &#34;If you have extra space on your hard drive, you can rent it out. We think of it as the foundation for the next generation of the internet.&#34;</p><p>Filecoin may just scratch the surface of decentralized technologies. Projects like Helium aim to challenge telecom networks by distributing long-range Wi-Fi hot spots to individuals, giving financial incentives and payments for data traffic in tokens. NFTs allow for property rights, licensing agreements, and royalties to be traced and tracked. That opens up avenues for NFTs to become conduits for things like mortgages, car ownership titles, diplomas, and concert tickets. &#34;There&#39;s an infinite number of things you can do with a computer, and that&#39;s equivalent to what you can do with an NFT,&#34; says Gui Karyo, chief information officer of Dapper Labs, a leading NFT company.</p><p>Ideally, Web3 advocates say, the technology will lay the foundations for a more egalitarian web where the &#34;rents&#34; now charged by intermediaries will be more widely distributed. &#34;We should be moving to an internet where your digital property rights are genuine -- you&#39;re not a serf on Jack Dorsey&#39;s or Mark Zuckerberg&#39;s plantation; you own your homestead,&#34; says Nic Carter, a venture-capital investor in Web3 start-ups at Castle Island Ventures.</p><p>Silicon Valley&#39;s biggest and most successful venture-capital firms are investing heavily. &#34;Programmable blockchains are sufficiently advanced, and a diverse range of apps have reached tens of millions of users,&#34; a16z&#39;s Dixon said in a post this past week. Tokens also give users &#34;property rights: the ability to own a piece of the internet,&#34; he said in an previous post on Web3.</p><p>Web3 overlaps with the metaverse, another of tech&#39;s hottest topics before the recent selloff. The metaverse foresees a new internet based on virtual realities, online avatars, and new ways for people to socialize and work.</p><p>Facebook rebranded itself as Meta Platforms, betting that its Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp could become Web2 relics without help from blockchains, cryptos, and NFTs, which could grant consumers more control of their digital lives. Meta is now working on incorporating NFTs into Instagram. The currencies of digital worlds, whether for gaming, social, or e-commerce, are likely to be stablecoins -- digital tokens aimed at holding a peg to a dollar.</p><p>Yet Facebook&#39;s move is a reminder that the Web2 giants aren&#39;t sitting still. In the end, Web3 is unlikely to displace them. Indeed, there&#39;s good reason to think Web3 won&#39;t be all that decentralized. For one, it&#39;s being funded by many of the same entities that built Web2.</p><p>A16z, formally called Andreessen Horowitz, was an early investor in many Web2 stalwarts, including Facebook, Box, Lyft, and Pinterest.</p><p>Now, the firm owns stakes in dozens of crypto start-ups, including OpenSea and Dapper Labs, along with decentralized-finance, or DeFi, platforms including Ava Labs, Uniswap Labs, dYdX, and Compound. These DeFi platforms consist of &#34;smart contracts&#34; that set the conditions of a trade, cutting out intermediaries like a brokerage or centralized exchange.</p><p>VC firms aren&#39;t making investments based on sheer goodwill. They expect returns on capital and are likely to maintain stakes through token ownership or warrants. The platforms themselves may be decentralized, in the sense that anyone with some technical skills can write a &#34;permissionless&#34; smart contract and execute a trade without a broker/dealer. But that doesn&#39;t mean the platform isn&#39;t owned or governed by a corporate entity.</p><p>That rubs some tech gurus the wrong way. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> co-founder Jack Dorsey stirred up an online frenzy last December when he tweeted, &#34;You don&#39;t own &#39;web3.&#39; The VCs and their LPs do,&#34; referring to venture-capital firms and their investors known as limited partners. &#34;It&#39;s ultimately a centralized entity with a different label.&#34;</p><p>Representatives for Dorsey and a16z declined to comment.</p><p>Crypto is proving enticing to VC firms partly because of the attractive &#34;tokenomics.&#34; For a traditional VC deal, the path from initial funding to exit usually takes five to seven years. In crypto, that timeline can be compressed to just two years, with VCs exiting their investment when a token goes live on an exchange or takes off on a DeFi platform.</p><p>&#34;You have a very short time to liquidity -- often it&#39;s like 24 months -- so even if the business doesn&#39;t pan out, you can still exit,&#34; says Carter. &#34;That&#39;s why crypto is so popular with VCs; even your losers can get liquidity, and you can exit before a product comes out.&#34;</p><p>The nebulous nature of Web3 is also alluring for early backers. &#34;There&#39;s no definition, and that&#39;s deliberate,&#34; says Carter, who backs crypto start-ups. &#34;If something is poorly defined, as an entrepreneur you can claim you&#39;re building it even if you&#39;re not. The lack of codification works to the benefit of people in the industry.&#34;</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Web3 Was Supposed to Save the Internet.

Web3, as it became known, was poised to recapture the 1990s promise of a decentralized internet, free from gatekeepers and trillion-dollar platforms.Cryptocurrencies had the starring role in the Web3 dream. Crypto, in theory, could wrest control from giants like Meta Platforms (ticker: FB), Alphabet $(GOOGL)$, Amazon.com $(AMZN)$, and Apple $(AAPL)$. It would shift our online activities to blockchains -- handling everything from payments and trading to videogaming, social media, even real estate. It could also shift the economics to users, giving them financial incentives to govern and secure the networks.A record $25 billion was plowed into crypto start-ups last year, with another $30 billion on track for this year, according to Bank of America. Even the recent downturn in crypto doesn't seem to have chilled new investment. This past week, venture-capital firm a16z announced a new crypto fund totaling $4.5 billion.\"We think we are now entering the golden era of web3,\" a16z partner Chris Dixon wrote in announcing the investment.And yet Web3 remains a heavy lift -- it's full of contradictions, glitchy technology, regulatory uncertainty, and competing economic interests. There's debate over who will \"own\" it -- companies backed by Silicon Valley venture capital, or the users themselves. And the crypto markets' downturn -- wiping out more than $1 trillion in value for tokens this year -- makes a blockchain-based web even harder to fathom.In the near term, Web3 may be a casualty of a tech backlash that has sent the Nasdaq Composite index down more than 25% this year. Crypto-related stocks have tanked, including Coinbase Global $(COIN)$ and Microstrategy $(MSTR)$, and payment apps Block (SQ) and PayPal Holdings (PYPL). Among crypto start-ups, investment is harder to come by, and valuations are falling. Morgan Stanley forecasts that failure rates will rise.Crypto fans talking up Web3 as a revolution face pushback from critics who see it as a marketing gimmick. In the end, Web3 is likely to fall somewhere in between.\"We may have to go through one or two hype cycles before the most important elements of the technology break through,\" says Gavin Wood, a co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain and head of another blockchain enterprise called Polkadot.

Buckle up for this roller coaster, the commentators tell us. Keep your hands, arms and assets inside the vehicle at all times.</p><p>The theme-park thrill ride is our most tired metaphor for market volatility. When the VIX  spiked this year, roller coasters showed up everywhere on financial media in both words and images: on the cover of The Economist, on all the major financial networks and newspapers and, too often for my taste, on MarketWatch.</p><p>The language and imagery we use to talk about markets matters. In <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of my first columns after becoming editor of this site in 2014, I said we were banning photos of traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange because these &#34;human emoji&#34; no longer reflected the modern reality of a market divorced from the physical space of Wall Street.</p><p>I shouldn&#39;t have stopped there. So in this, my final column for MarketWatch, I think it&#39;s time to retire the roller coaster as an illustration of volatility, because the metaphor is a mediocre visual joke that&#39;s unfair to both amusement parks and markets.</p><p>We lean on the rides to convey turbulence, because the hills, twists and inversions seem like stock charts drawn in real life, and the rides, like markets, induce anxiety, adrenaline, and enough G forces to empty your pockets or make you lose your lunch. So what&#39;s wrong with these images? To explore this question, I reached out to two uniquely qualified experts on the subject: 1. A professor of business and psychology who has studied how market metaphors impact the decisions investors make. And 2. A roller-coaster designer.</p><p>But first, it&#39;s important to consider how metaphors influence our thoughts and behaviors. In &#34;Metaphors We Live By,&#34; a seminal work by the philosophers George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, they make the case that &#34;the way we think, what we experience, and what we do every day is very much a matter of metaphor.&#34; What does this have to do with roller coasters? Well, as Lakoff and Johnson say, &#34;the major metaphor in our culture is HAPPY IS UP.&#34;</p><p>When we feel good, we say we are up, we strive to climb the corporate ladder, we want to get a raise. Happy is definitely up on a market chart, unless you&#39;re a short seller. Up is more. Up is richer. Up is one step closer to joining the Great Resignation and jetting off to the Almafi coast. But the most happy moments on a roller coaster, as someone who loves roller coasters, are not the ups, but the most horrific, violent stretches of a market chart: the steep drops and wild turns.</p><p>&#34;The ups and downs in the emotions don&#39;t correlate with the ups and downs in distance above the floor,&#34; said Brendan Walker, a London-based &#34;thrill engineer&#34; with two decades of roller-coaster design experience. &#34;The points of sudden change are the most exciting moments, made to be scary as hell or fun and exhilarating.&#34;</p><p>The metaphor does work in one sense: Inching up the lift hill is a moment of building anticipation and nerves, Walker said. Like investors wondering if they should bail out before the bottom falls out, nervous riders whisper to themselves over and over again as the train lurches upward: &#34;Is this the top yet?&#34; Most of life is more like waiting in line for the ride than actually riding it, of course.</p><p>But remember, roller coasters, unlike volatile markets, are a form of entertainment, with each of the 90-120 seconds choreographed to neurotransmit a cocktail of maximal pleasure and excitement. &#34;They seem to be very risky, but this is one of the most risk-averse industries around,&#34; said Walker, whose current venture, Studio Go Go, specializes in enhancing older rides with the addition of virtual reality. &#34;A new ride costs $25 million and needs to appeal to 95% of visitors.&#34; They are designed to be a safe way to experience the feeling of risk, said Walker. &#34;This is not skydiving or skiing black runs off-piste.&#34;</p><p>Theme-park rides sometimes end badly -- I once watched helplessly as my nephew was thrown from a carnival ride, thankfully sustaining only &#34;minor injuries&#34; -- but, for the most part, we can be fairly certain that we end up right back where we started, unscathed, maybe smiling, maybe muttering &#34;never again,&#34; but no poorer for the journey.</p><p>Markets can be far more hazardous -- and so can market metaphors. Roller-coaster images may provide false comfort to investors, said Michael Morris, a business professor and psychologist at Columbia University. &#34;It&#39;s a bit like the bubble metaphor, which suggests that once it has popped it is a safe time to invest, the danger is over.&#34;</p><p>In a 2007 paper, &#34;Metaphors and the Market,&#34; Morris and his co-authors studied the impact a range of metaphors used by financial media had on investor decision making, focusing on two types: &#34;agent&#34; metaphors, which suggest the market is an animal spirit that climbs, claws, charges, or flies vs. that &#34;object&#34; metaphors, passive victims of gravity, as in &#34;the  Dow fell off a cliff.&#34; Presumably dead cats bounce into and out of the latter category.</p><p>&#34;Humans detect the features of things that are self-propelled and the things that defy gravity and we treat them very differently,&#34; Morris told me. In experiments they found that agent metaphors made investors more confident that the current trends were likely to continue. Media commentary causes investors to take uptrends as meaningful signals and downtrends as something that can be ignored, the paper argues.</p><p>Even the market chart itself can mislead investors this way. The lines on a chart suggest continued trajectories, Morris said. Investors fared better after being shown tables of data as opposed to a chart, he said. Allusions to roller coasters might have a similar effect, his research found, since they have &#34;unsteady but regular trajectories. And they may imply that the past regularity portends future regularity.&#34;</p><p>Behavioral economist Richard Thaler has joked that investors would be better off watching ESPN than a business network, and maybe he has a point. Financial journalists have a responsibility to think critically about the language and imagery used to explain the market. We should be up front about how little we know, and we should banish all the bears and B.S.

But the stock, alongside the broader market, has since come to a bust with declines of more than 15%.</p><p>With inflation running its hottest course in four decades, the Federal Reserve has showed signs ofamped-up urgency in paring pandemic-era stimulus and pivoting toward a hawkish stance on monetary policy tightening. The impending rate hike cycle that is expected to begin in March has stirred investors’ concern over potential erosion of value on future gains and stalled growth due to rising costs of capital. This has led to a broad market sell-off in recent weeks, especially for high-growth stocks, as investors rotated out of risky assets to safer investments like Treasuries. As benchmark Treasury yield surpassed 1.8% last week in anticipation of the Fed’s plans to begin the rate hiking cycle soon to quell runaway inflation, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was pushed into correction territory after declining more than 10% from its November closing record. A disappointing outlook released by Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) last week also has further fuelled investor angst, as the market continues on a freefall despite the brief mid-day rebound observed on Monday’s session.</p><p>Apple stock is now standing in a unique position in terms of timing, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to give an update on monetary policy decision on Wednesday and the tech giant’s corporate earnings release on Thursday. On one hand, Wednesday’s briefing from Powell could lead to further market volatility as investors brace for an announcement on the timing and magnitude of upcoming rate hikes. On the other hand, Apple’s results and outlook to be released on the following day could come in strong and save the day by reversing the dire sentiment over the technology sector.</p><p>While some are bracing for an aggressive dose of monetary policy tightening with an initial rate hike of up to 50 bps in March to rein in inflation, the Fed will likely tread lightly over the matter. Despite historical inflation, it&#39;s likely the Fed is “acutely aware of the risk around getting too aggressive” and making a policy mistake that could be detrimental to the economy. As for Apple, the tech giant is expected to deliver an update that will likely encompass strong holiday season sales and robust demand for its products and services, despite protracted supply chain constraints being the near-term overhang.</p><p>As discussed in our previous coverage, Apple remains a top hedge against mounting macro headwinds like inflation and rate hikes. With strong cash flows, robust earnings and revenue growth, and expanding margins through scale and pricing power, the performance of Apple’s underlying business is really as good as it gets when it comes to resistance against inflation and tightening monetary policy. The stock’s latest pullback also puts its current trading multiples at a small discount compared to those during last year’s February tech stock sell-off. It&#39;s currently trading at about 28.8x TTM earnings compared to above 30x at the onset of 2021’s early-year sell-off.</p><p>Apple’s demonstration of continued strength in demand for its products and services, its ability to generate robust cash flows, and its innovative technology roadmap builds a strong hedge case against upcoming valuation adjustment risks posed by the upcoming tightening of monetary policy. Paired with the stock’s recent pullback in price, we&#39;re maintaining a buy rating with expectations for it to contest the $200-level within the next 12 months.</p><p><b>What We have Observed So Far Over the Holiday Season</b></p><p>Following last quarter’s earnings call when the company reported $6 billion in lost sales due to COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions, there have been growing uncertainties on how the biggest sales quarter of the year has fared in one of the most protracted supply chain disruptions experienced in the history of the industry. We have done some field work over the holidays and earlier this month by going to Apple stores to gauge how sales have performed during the December quarter. Based on discussions with sales representatives, this is what we have gathered:</p><ul><li>Black Friday: Apple has opted for gift card rebates over traditional discounts on sticker prices offered by authorized retailers during the Black Friday shopping event. Based on discussions with in-store employees, the strategy has done a good job in retaining sales from customers who would have otherwise left the store empty handed due to lack of inventory on products they had originally intended to buy. For instance, bundle rebates on lower-priced in-stock items like the AirPods and AirTags have garnered strong traction during the annual shopping event. In our view, the gift card rebate has not only proven to be a prudent strategy in retaining customer sales despite lacking inventory, but also a good way to ensure additional inflow of future revenues instead of one-off discounts for customers that could be lost to competitors down the road.</li><li>Boxing Day: Visited Apple stores in North America actually did not offer any Boxing Day discounts, but demand for products remained robust. Many customers came in looking for the new iPhone 13 and iPads, but were forced to leave empty-handed due to severely limited inventory levels. Most had opted for online orders, which had long wait times, but that has not deterred them from making the purchase. This implies stickiness of demand for Apple’s suite of products, as well as the effectiveness of Apple’s continued commitment to product upgrades and innovations.</li><li>Today: Visited stores said they have quickly sold out of stock received on the all-new MacBook Pros, which run on the M1 Pro/M1 Pro Max chips. However, customer demand remains robust with many turning to online orders despite a three-week minimum wait time. Many stores are also out of all models of the iPads. On the iPhone front, some stores have indicated they had just received shipment for what was supposed to be December stock. Many salespersons we have spoken to believe sales would have been much better had the iPhone 13 shipments arrived in December as intended because that was pretty much what everyone was asking for during the holiday season. On the downside, this implies Apple has certainly remained impacted from supply chain bottlenecks during the holiday season. But on the upside, the iPhone 13 clearly remains a dominant player in the smartphone, and 5G-enabled devices, market.</li></ul><p>Supply chain constraints are clearly still a theme for Apple. And it seemed to have been accentuated over the December-quarter – its best sales quarter of the year – when most wanted to get their hands on the most advanced mobile and computing devices, and complementing accessories and gadgets. Yet, the company continues to be prudent in salvaging sales through strategies like gift card rebates to abate the impact of lost sales from supply chain disruptions, which we consider a prudent move to ensure demand does not spill over to competitors. Consumer willingness to endure long wait times through online orders are also testament to continued strength in demand for Apple’s products.</p><p>A high-level conclusion based on the information gathered from stores visited would imply the company has likely endured much more than $6 billion in lost revenues due to ongoing COVID- and supply-chain-related impacts to business during the December-quarter. However, demand definitely remains robust, which underscores the tech giant’s continued dominance across the market segments in which it operates in. And the company’s management team has clearly done a good job in ensuring demand remains in their pockets despite the current shortfall in supply. These, together, are all positive signs that the company’s valuation prospects remain intact.</p><p><b>Easing Supply Chain Constraints</b></p><p>On the supply front, supply chain bottlenecks are expected to ease over the course of the current year, which will help the stock defy related pressures as well as those from the recent sell-off on rate hike concerns. Following Microsoft’s most recent earnings call Tuesday, the stock saw a steep rebound following announcement of a strong outlook on cloud-computing business growth. And a similar trend should be in order for Apple as well, considering expectations for a positive change in management’s sentiment towards the current supply chain situation which would imply a strong performance outlook for the year.</p><p>The expectation is further corroborated by recent information released by Apple’s key supply chain partners, including Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN) and Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTCPK:HNHAF). Texas Instruments, the world’s largest producer and supplier of analog and embedded processing chips, and a key supplier of display parts to Apple, has provided a stronger-than-expected sales and profit forecast during Tuesday’s earnings call. The semiconductor giant also reported slight improvements to inventory levels, albeit still about 40% lower than normal, as well as lower volumes of expedited order requests. These items, together, suggest that the ongoing chip supply shortage may be finally starting to ease. The expected trend is further corroborated by recent announcements from Hon Hai Precision Industry, the key assembler of Apple’s iPhones. Hon Hai’s Chairman Young Liu is predicting “unprecedented performance in the first quarter” that will surpass historical output levels. The global leader in contracted consumer electronics manufacturing is gearing up to ensure adequate levels of inventory for customers this quarter, including Apple, to prevent further unravelling of supply chain disruptions.</p><p>While Apple’s fiscal second quarter has historically experienced slower sales compared to the fiscal first quarter due to seasonality, recent improvements to supply chain will likely drive a boost in sales. Paired with in-store observations of replenished iPhone stock and the expectation for returning customers looking to cash in their gift card rebates received over the holidays, a stronger-than-expected outlook for the year is likely in order.</p><p><b>Continued Demand Buoyed by an Ever-Improving Product Line-Up</b></p><p>The iPhone 13 remains the dominant 5G-enabled mobile device on the market. It was the most sought-after product during the holiday season, and remains so today even as inventories begin to return to normal levels. Some regions are reporting wait times of up to a full week for online iPhone 13 orders to arrive due to the ongoing clash between robust demand and squeezed supply. While Apple is in process of restoring balance across its supply of the iPhone 13, its core revenue driver among other products, it is also continuously working on improving its product roadmap.</p><p>This includes the highly anticipated roll-out of the budget-friendly 5G-enabled iPhone SE, which is expected for later this year. The current iPhone SE only supports up to 4G LTE, and is still running on the 2019 A13 chips, while the newest generation of iPhones have already moved on to the A15 Bionic chips which promise much faster speeds. Although Apple has not yet released any official statement on the potentially newest addition to the iPhone family, it would only make sense for an upgrade on the iPhone SE with 5G and new processors to ensure its performance is caught up to current demands. As mentioned in our previous coverage, iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. And the launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE would better equip Apple to attract switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users” and further its market share in the smartphones category. It would also help Apple maintain its lead in the 5G competition against rival Samsung, which has recently launched its own budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G to capitalize on rising opportunities stemming from non-premium upgrades.</p><p>The global push for 5G adoption and Apple’s aging installed base of iPhones is also expected to drive the segment into one of the largest multi-year upgrade cycles ahead. Reputable wireless carriers have been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices, including the iPhone 12/13, in recent months with enticing offers in hopes of boosting their 5G network sign-ups to recoup their years of investments into the rollout of next-generation wireless service. And with more than a quarter of Apple’s active iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X), Apple is looking to benefit from a multi-year wave of upgrade purchases as users of the older iPhones look to convert to newer models that are compatible with the latest technology.</p><p>As mentioned in earlier sections, Macs and iPads also appear to be rare commodities right now due to stickier-than-expected demand that have carried over from the peak of the pandemic. Robust holiday season demand for iPads, iMacs and MacBooks observed in store and online have driven the segment’s shipments up by 9% compared to the prior year,beating performance of all five best-selling PC vendors. While the milestone is expected to be a plus for fiscal first quarter earnings to be released later this week, the anticipated launch of additional product upgrades across Apple’s computing devices segment is what will drive further acceleration in growth for the current year and beyond:</p><ul><li>iPad Pro: The last time the iPad Pro had a full-on makeover was in 2018, which made its debut about a year and a half after the preceding model. Taking that for a proxy, a completely redesigned iPad Pro should be in the books for launch later this year, especially as the last two models were essentially “new chip and camera upgrades.” In addition to an exterior makeover that would likely feature a glass back, the next-generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the newest M2 chip and integrated wireless charging to match capabilities of the iPhone.</li><li>iMac: With the newest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips now fitted into the redesigned MacBook Pros, the next step would likely be to bring them into the iMac desktops. The redesigned M1-powered iMac launched last year has proven to be in high demand thanks to the surge in global demand for reliable workstations for work-from-home needs. Any improvements to the desktop’s processing power will likely drive further demand from those who has yet to make the leap on an upgrade, especially as the rising tide of hybrid working and learning arrangements is proving to be a staying trend even in the post-pandemic era.</li></ul><p>Services are also expected to play a larger role in Apple’s growth trajectory going forward. About a quarter of Apple’s sales last year were attributable to the services segment. Yet, it only accounted for about 10% of Apple’s consolidated cost of sales, indicating the segment’s generous margins. And Apple’s bottom line will only further benefit from expectations for further growth in demand for Apple services going forward. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. And its recent push for a subscription-based business model across its wide array of existing service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings and pricing options will continue to be a key driver for the segment’s growth, and inadvertently, the company’s fast-expanding margins.</p><p><b>Conclusion: AAPL’s Pullback Is a Buy Opportunity</b></p><p>Although equities are likely to remain volatile in the near term due to uncertainties over the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening agenda, Apple will likely draw a rebound from Thursday’s earnings call. While lost revenues driven by COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions are likely a given, the tech giant is expected to have set a new record for fiscal first quarter sales on strong holiday season demand, nonetheless. Recent observations of easing supply chain constraints across Apple’s suppliers and manufacturing partners also signal improvements to the current year sales outlook, which bolsters investors’ confidence in the stock. And the continued strength in demand for Apple’s products and services will likely maintain the brand’s pricing power to beat any persisting inflation pressures ahead.</p><p>As discussed in detail in our last coverage on the stock, Apple’s overall valuation prospects remain intact despite the impending rate hiking cycle. Robust global demand for Apple&#39;s offerings as discussed in the foregoing analysis are expected to further grow Apple&#39;s cheque book, making a strong tailwind against downward valuation pressures stemming from upcoming changes to the macro environment. We believe there&#39;s still a massive runway for the stock to grow in both the near and longer term, which makes its recent pullback in price a reasonable buy opportunity.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Now A Good Time To Buy Or Sell Apple Stock?</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\">\nIs Now A Good Time To Buy Or Sell Apple Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-27 13:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple's value has declined by more than 10% since its brief stint in the $3 trillion market cap territory earlier in the year.The stock is also trading at about 28x forward earnings, which is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1194933395","content_text":"SummaryApple's value has declined by more than 10% since its brief stint in the $3 trillion market cap territory earlier in the year.The stock is also trading at about 28x forward earnings, which is slightly discounted from a year ago during the February tech stock selloff.Considering hints of easing supply chain constraints across Apple's key suppliers and manufacturing partners, the company is likely looking at a better-than-expected growth outlook for the year.This will likely assuage growing investors' angst and \"change the tide for the current risk-off environment in tech\" which has pressured the Apple stock's performance.Apple's upcoming earnings call is expected to drive a rebound similar to Microsoft's after the latter reported a reassuring growth outlook. This makes Apple's recent price decline a reasonable buy opportunity considering there are still generous upsides ahead.nyc russ/iStock Editorial via Getty ImagesApple(NASDAQ:AAPL)rang into the New Year with a boom by becoming the first U.S.-listed public company to surpass a market cap of $3 trillion. But the stock, alongside the broader market, has since come to a bust with declines of more than 15%.With inflation running its hottest course in four decades, the Federal Reserve has showed signs ofamped-up urgency in paring pandemic-era stimulus and pivoting toward a hawkish stance on monetary policy tightening. The impending rate hike cycle that is expected to begin in March has stirred investors’ concern over potential erosion of value on future gains and stalled growth due to rising costs of capital. This has led to a broad market sell-off in recent weeks, especially for high-growth stocks, as investors rotated out of risky assets to safer investments like Treasuries. As benchmark Treasury yield surpassed 1.8% last week in anticipation of the Fed’s plans to begin the rate hiking cycle soon to quell runaway inflation, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was pushed into correction territory after declining more than 10% from its November closing record. A disappointing outlook released by Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) last week also has further fuelled investor angst, as the market continues on a freefall despite the brief mid-day rebound observed on Monday’s session.Apple stock is now standing in a unique position in terms of timing, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to give an update on monetary policy decision on Wednesday and the tech giant’s corporate earnings release on Thursday. On one hand, Wednesday’s briefing from Powell could lead to further market volatility as investors brace for an announcement on the timing and magnitude of upcoming rate hikes. On the other hand, Apple’s results and outlook to be released on the following day could come in strong and save the day by reversing the dire sentiment over the technology sector.While some are bracing for an aggressive dose of monetary policy tightening with an initial rate hike of up to 50 bps in March to rein in inflation, the Fed will likely tread lightly over the matter. Despite historical inflation, it's likely the Fed is “acutely aware of the risk around getting too aggressive” and making a policy mistake that could be detrimental to the economy. As for Apple, the tech giant is expected to deliver an update that will likely encompass strong holiday season sales and robust demand for its products and services, despite protracted supply chain constraints being the near-term overhang.As discussed in our previous coverage, Apple remains a top hedge against mounting macro headwinds like inflation and rate hikes. With strong cash flows, robust earnings and revenue growth, and expanding margins through scale and pricing power, the performance of Apple’s underlying business is really as good as it gets when it comes to resistance against inflation and tightening monetary policy. The stock’s latest pullback also puts its current trading multiples at a small discount compared to those during last year’s February tech stock sell-off. It's currently trading at about 28.8x TTM earnings compared to above 30x at the onset of 2021’s early-year sell-off.Apple’s demonstration of continued strength in demand for its products and services, its ability to generate robust cash flows, and its innovative technology roadmap builds a strong hedge case against upcoming valuation adjustment risks posed by the upcoming tightening of monetary policy. Paired with the stock’s recent pullback in price, we're maintaining a buy rating with expectations for it to contest the $200-level within the next 12 months.What We have Observed So Far Over the Holiday SeasonFollowing last quarter’s earnings call when the company reported $6 billion in lost sales due to COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions, there have been growing uncertainties on how the biggest sales quarter of the year has fared in one of the most protracted supply chain disruptions experienced in the history of the industry. We have done some field work over the holidays and earlier this month by going to Apple stores to gauge how sales have performed during the December quarter. Based on discussions with sales representatives, this is what we have gathered:Black Friday: Apple has opted for gift card rebates over traditional discounts on sticker prices offered by authorized retailers during the Black Friday shopping event. Based on discussions with in-store employees, the strategy has done a good job in retaining sales from customers who would have otherwise left the store empty handed due to lack of inventory on products they had originally intended to buy. For instance, bundle rebates on lower-priced in-stock items like the AirPods and AirTags have garnered strong traction during the annual shopping event. In our view, the gift card rebate has not only proven to be a prudent strategy in retaining customer sales despite lacking inventory, but also a good way to ensure additional inflow of future revenues instead of one-off discounts for customers that could be lost to competitors down the road.Boxing Day: Visited Apple stores in North America actually did not offer any Boxing Day discounts, but demand for products remained robust. Many customers came in looking for the new iPhone 13 and iPads, but were forced to leave empty-handed due to severely limited inventory levels. Most had opted for online orders, which had long wait times, but that has not deterred them from making the purchase. This implies stickiness of demand for Apple’s suite of products, as well as the effectiveness of Apple’s continued commitment to product upgrades and innovations.Today: Visited stores said they have quickly sold out of stock received on the all-new MacBook Pros, which run on the M1 Pro/M1 Pro Max chips. However, customer demand remains robust with many turning to online orders despite a three-week minimum wait time. Many stores are also out of all models of the iPads. On the iPhone front, some stores have indicated they had just received shipment for what was supposed to be December stock. Many salespersons we have spoken to believe sales would have been much better had the iPhone 13 shipments arrived in December as intended because that was pretty much what everyone was asking for during the holiday season. On the downside, this implies Apple has certainly remained impacted from supply chain bottlenecks during the holiday season. But on the upside, the iPhone 13 clearly remains a dominant player in the smartphone, and 5G-enabled devices, market.Supply chain constraints are clearly still a theme for Apple. And it seemed to have been accentuated over the December-quarter – its best sales quarter of the year – when most wanted to get their hands on the most advanced mobile and computing devices, and complementing accessories and gadgets. Yet, the company continues to be prudent in salvaging sales through strategies like gift card rebates to abate the impact of lost sales from supply chain disruptions, which we consider a prudent move to ensure demand does not spill over to competitors. Consumer willingness to endure long wait times through online orders are also testament to continued strength in demand for Apple’s products.A high-level conclusion based on the information gathered from stores visited would imply the company has likely endured much more than $6 billion in lost revenues due to ongoing COVID- and supply-chain-related impacts to business during the December-quarter. However, demand definitely remains robust, which underscores the tech giant’s continued dominance across the market segments in which it operates in. And the company’s management team has clearly done a good job in ensuring demand remains in their pockets despite the current shortfall in supply. These, together, are all positive signs that the company’s valuation prospects remain intact.Easing Supply Chain ConstraintsOn the supply front, supply chain bottlenecks are expected to ease over the course of the current year, which will help the stock defy related pressures as well as those from the recent sell-off on rate hike concerns. Following Microsoft’s most recent earnings call Tuesday, the stock saw a steep rebound following announcement of a strong outlook on cloud-computing business growth. And a similar trend should be in order for Apple as well, considering expectations for a positive change in management’s sentiment towards the current supply chain situation which would imply a strong performance outlook for the year.The expectation is further corroborated by recent information released by Apple’s key supply chain partners, including Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN) and Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTCPK:HNHAF). Texas Instruments, the world’s largest producer and supplier of analog and embedded processing chips, and a key supplier of display parts to Apple, has provided a stronger-than-expected sales and profit forecast during Tuesday’s earnings call. The semiconductor giant also reported slight improvements to inventory levels, albeit still about 40% lower than normal, as well as lower volumes of expedited order requests. These items, together, suggest that the ongoing chip supply shortage may be finally starting to ease. The expected trend is further corroborated by recent announcements from Hon Hai Precision Industry, the key assembler of Apple’s iPhones. Hon Hai’s Chairman Young Liu is predicting “unprecedented performance in the first quarter” that will surpass historical output levels. The global leader in contracted consumer electronics manufacturing is gearing up to ensure adequate levels of inventory for customers this quarter, including Apple, to prevent further unravelling of supply chain disruptions.While Apple’s fiscal second quarter has historically experienced slower sales compared to the fiscal first quarter due to seasonality, recent improvements to supply chain will likely drive a boost in sales. Paired with in-store observations of replenished iPhone stock and the expectation for returning customers looking to cash in their gift card rebates received over the holidays, a stronger-than-expected outlook for the year is likely in order.Continued Demand Buoyed by an Ever-Improving Product Line-UpThe iPhone 13 remains the dominant 5G-enabled mobile device on the market. It was the most sought-after product during the holiday season, and remains so today even as inventories begin to return to normal levels. Some regions are reporting wait times of up to a full week for online iPhone 13 orders to arrive due to the ongoing clash between robust demand and squeezed supply. While Apple is in process of restoring balance across its supply of the iPhone 13, its core revenue driver among other products, it is also continuously working on improving its product roadmap.This includes the highly anticipated roll-out of the budget-friendly 5G-enabled iPhone SE, which is expected for later this year.
