dealmakers are hoping for a 10% increase in dollar bond issuance in 2024 as interest rates stabilise and companies beef up borrowing to fund capital spending plans, following the weakest year for debt markets in eight years.</p><p>   The first few days of 2024 have brought a rush of U.S. dollar deals from some of Asia's largest companies, with SK Hynix    and steelmaker Posco aiming to raise a combined $2 billion, according to sources with direct knowledge of the transactions.</p><p>   The Republic of Indonesia tapped dollar funding markets early to secure $2.05 billion in a three-tranche transaction, according to a term sheet seen by Reuters.</p><p>   Last year, there were $272 billion in dollar bonds issued across Asia Pacific, including Japan, the lowest level since 2015, according to Dealogic data.</p><p>   The decline came as companies pulled back deals as higher interest rates in the U.S. made borrowing in some local currencies and domestic bank markets cheaper.</p><p>   For investment banks in Asia, the bond decline marked another hit to their fee incomes as revenue from equity capital market and corporate buyout advisory slowed in line with poor activity levels.</p><p>   Key to the outlook for dollar bond issuance to improve is the view that the Federal Reserve will start cutting the cash rate in 2024 as indicators point towards inflation starting to come under control.</p><p>   \"A very important theme in Asia is onshore rates versus offshore rates so in many parts of Asia, it's much cheaper to borrow onshore,\" said Elaine He, Head of Debt Syndicate for Asia Pacific, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSSXV\">Morgan Stanley</a>.</p><p>   \"With the Fed potentially cutting rates in 2024, a reduction in the disparity between onshore and offshore borrowing costs could encourage an increase in offshore U.S. dollar borrowing activities.\"</p><p>   Dollar bond deals in Asia hit record highs in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic as central banks slashed interest rates and most major world governments ordered emergency fiscal stimulus, but dropped over the past two years as rates were ramped up.</p><p>   Bank of America's head of Asia Pacific debt capital markets (DCM) syndicate Joseph Pepping said he expected Asia Pacific dollar issuance would increase by about 10% in 2024 with more certainty on the rate outlook.</p><p>   \"Everyone is comfortable now that we are at the top of the rate cycle, central banks have been fairly clear they will stay higher for longer,\" he said.</p><p>   \"Corporates that have been waiting out the market for the past two years will start to come back in.\"</p><p>   UBS's co-head of Asia debt capital markets, Terry Schmassmann, said Asian regional companies, especially those in the renewable energy and electric vehicle supply chain sectors, would need to tap markets to secure funding for their expansion plans. </p><p>   \"Given the uncertain rates environment in developed markets, a lot of companies have put on hold their overseas capex strategies,\" he said.</p><p>   \"Now this higher-for-longer mantra is starting to settle in, we are seeing some of those capex needs coming through. I would expect it to be a busier year for offshore issuance.\"</p><p>   However, in China, high yield dollar bond issuance remains muted as the country's property sector, once an active dollar market participant, remains troubled. Dollar bond issuance in China was worth $42.5 billion in 2023, compared to the market's peak of $210.5 billion in 2019, Dealogic data showed.</p><p>   \"It depends on how much funding companies need, whether they can find cheaper alternatives onshore. Given the size of the Chinese economy, there's anticipation of an increase in high-yield deals emerging in 2024,\" <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>'s He said.</p><p>   Bonds issued in all currencies across the Asia Pacific region in 2023 were worth $1.72 trillion, the lowest amount since 2015, according to the Dealogic data.</p><p>    ($1 = 7.8085 Hong Kong dollars)</p><p> (Reporting by Scott Murdoch;

The first few days of 2024 have brought a rush of U.S. dollar deals from some of Asia's largest companies, with SK Hynix    and steelmaker Posco aiming to raise a combined $2 billion, according to sources with direct knowledge of the transactions.   The Republic of Indonesia tapped dollar funding markets early to secure $2.05 billion in a three-tranche transaction, according to a term sheet seen by Reuters.   Last year, there were $272 billion in dollar bonds issued across Asia Pacific, including Japan, the lowest level since 2015, according to Dealogic data.   The decline came as companies pulled back deals as higher interest rates in the U.S. made borrowing in some local currencies and domestic bank markets cheaper.   For investment banks in Asia, the bond decline marked another hit to their fee incomes as revenue from equity capital market and corporate buyout advisory slowed in line with poor activity levels.   Key to the outlook for dollar bond issuance to improve is the view that the Federal Reserve will start cutting the cash rate in 2024 as indicators point towards inflation starting to come under control.   \"A very important theme in Asia is onshore rates versus offshore rates so in many parts of Asia, it's much cheaper to borrow onshore,\" said Elaine He, Head of Debt Syndicate for Asia Pacific, Morgan Stanley.   \"With the Fed potentially cutting rates in 2024, a reduction in the disparity between onshore and offshore borrowing costs could encourage an increase in offshore U.S. dollar borrowing activities.\"   Dollar bond deals in Asia hit record highs in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic as central banks slashed interest rates and most major world governments ordered emergency fiscal stimulus, but dropped over the past two years as rates were ramped up.   Bank of America's head of Asia Pacific debt capital markets (DCM) syndicate Joseph Pepping said he expected Asia Pacific dollar issuance would increase by about 10% in 2024 with more certainty on the rate outlook.   \"Everyone is comfortable now that we are at the top of the rate cycle, central banks have been fairly clear they will stay higher for longer,\" he said.   \"Corporates that have been waiting out the market for the past two years will start to come back in.\"   UBS's co-head of Asia debt capital markets, Terry Schmassmann, said Asian regional companies, especially those in the renewable energy and electric vehicle supply chain sectors, would need to tap markets to secure funding for their expansion plans.    \"Given the uncertain rates environment in developed markets, a lot of companies have put on hold their overseas capex strategies,\" he said.   \"Now this higher-for-longer mantra is starting to settle in, we are seeing some of those capex needs coming through. I would expect it to be a busier year for offshore issuance.\"   However, in China, high yield dollar bond issuance remains muted as the country's property sector, once an active dollar market participant, remains troubled. Dollar bond issuance in China was worth $42.5 billion in 2023, compared to the market's peak of $210.5 billion in 2019, Dealogic data showed.   \"It depends on how much funding companies need, whether they can find cheaper alternatives onshore. Given the size of the Chinese economy, there's anticipation of an increase in high-yield deals emerging in 2024,\" Morgan Stanley's He said.   Bonds issued in all currencies across the Asia Pacific region in 2023 were worth $1.72 trillion, the lowest amount since 2015, according to the Dealogic data.

More specifically, <strong>Piper Sandler</strong> analyst Harsh Kumar thinks the stock can get to $220 during this period. This price target would translate to about 12% upside for the stock, on top of an already impressive gain since Jan. 1.</p><p>Is Apple stock really a good buy today, despite its staggering first seven months of 2023? Let&#39;s look closer at why Kumar is so upbeat about Apple shares to see if he&#39;s onto something.</p><h2 id=\"id_1317728205\">The path to $220</h2><p>In a note to investors this week, Kumar said that he is raising his 12-month price target on Apple stock from $180 to $220. Supporting his view, he believes iPhone sales in China could be notable for the tech company&#39;s fiscal third quarter, which Apple will report results for on Thursday. </p><p>In Apple&#39;s fiscal second-quarter earnings call, CEO Tim Cook noted that even though the company reported a 3% year-over-year decline in Greater China revenue during the period, sales in the market were up year-over-year on a constant-currency basis. In addition, year-over-year sales trends for the quarter improved compared to the three months ending in December 2022. With China&#39;s economy continuing its reopening following strict COVID-19 policies that disrupted Apple&#39;s sales, further improvement is possible in fiscal Q2. Regarding iPhone sales trends specifically, Cook cited third-party data that estimated iPhone models to account for four of the top-selling smartphones in urban China. So Apple is certainly well-positioned in the market. </p><p>Though given recent headlines in the media about China&#39;s recovery being slower than anticipated, some investors are worried about Apple&#39;s how Greater China sales may have fared during fiscal Q3.

More specifically, Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar thinks the stock can get to $220 during this period. This price target would translate to about 12% upside for the stock, on top of an already impressive gain since Jan. 1.Is Apple stock really a good buy today, despite its staggering first seven months of 2023? Let's look closer at why Kumar is so upbeat about Apple shares to see if he's onto something.The path to $220In a note to investors this week, Kumar said that he is raising his 12-month price target on Apple stock from $180 to $220. Supporting his view, he believes iPhone sales in China could be notable for the tech company's fiscal third quarter, which Apple will report results for on Thursday. In Apple's fiscal second-quarter earnings call, CEO Tim Cook noted that even though the company reported a 3% year-over-year decline in Greater China revenue during the period, sales in the market were up year-over-year on a constant-currency basis. In addition, year-over-year sales trends for the quarter improved compared to the three months ending in December 2022. With China's economy continuing its reopening following strict COVID-19 policies that disrupted Apple's sales, further improvement is possible in fiscal Q2. Regarding iPhone sales trends specifically, Cook cited third-party data that estimated iPhone models to account for four of the top-selling smartphones in urban China. So Apple is certainly well-positioned in the market. Though given recent headlines in the media about China's recovery being slower than anticipated, some investors are worried about Apple's how Greater China sales may have fared during fiscal Q3. But Kumar seems convinced that Apple's sales in the market may prove to be more resilient than anticipated.Going further, Kumar said that even if China sales do prove to be subpar, Apple's fast-growing sales in India could offset this weakness. To this end, Apple sales in India grew at a strong double-digit growth rate during fiscal Q2, Cook noted. \"There are a lot of people coming into the middle class, and I really feel that India is at a tipping point,\" the CEO added.Why Apple stock may still be a buyWhile the analyst has some good points about China sales potentially being more resilient than anticipated and India serving as a timely catalyst for the iPhone maker, the bigger question is whether or not Apple stock is truly a good buy at 33 times earnings -- the premium valuation the stock is trading at today.While it would be difficult to call Apple stock a bargain today, it's fair to say that an investor who buys the stock today has a decent chance of making out reasonably well over the long haul. The tech giant has spent decades building a powerful hardware, software, and services ecosystem and a loyal customer base. Further, with an exceptional balance sheet boasting more cash than debt, and a cash flow statement showing off annual free cash flow of around $100 billion, Apple can continue investing heavily in maintaining its attractive positioning with consumers through product innovation, new services, and constant improvement of its existing software and services. Ultimately, the company's massive scale and loyal customer base combine to give it a competitive advantage that should help the company continue growing earnings for years to come.Even as Apple stock approaches $200, shares arguably still appear attractive. Of course, this doesn't mean shareholders won't have to endure bumpy ride with occasional large drawdowns in the stock price. Of course, despite these reasons to be bullish, investors should do their own due diligence to decide for themselves whether or not they think the stock is a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":482,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":190392921620600,"gmtCreate":1687508167830,"gmtModify":1687508171372,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Amazon !!!!","listText":"Amazon !!!!","text":"Amazon !!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/190392921620600","repostId":"2345376936","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2345376936","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1687496590,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2345376936?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-06-23 13:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airbnb: A Top Growth Stock With High FCF Margins","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2345376936","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SrdjanPav Airbnb  is widely free cash flow-profitable and the travel company is facing a powerful catalyst from the upcoming travel season.

The pandemic alone set Airbnb back by approximately two years, but business trends have materially improved since 2022 as the travel sector staged a strong rebound.</p><p>According to Statista, most markets around the world (with the exception of Asia and Africa) are expected to have made a full recovery in air travel passenger numbers by either 2023 or 2024. For Airbnb, this implies procyclical business tailwinds that could result in new records for bookings, revenues and free cash flow.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a96438c4688eab68dae8550c8b03dc0b\" alt=\"Source: Statista\" title=\"Source: Statista\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"640\"/><span>Source: Statista</span></p><p>Airbnb&#39;s booking business recovered strongly in FY 2022 and the company now widely exceeds its performance metrics from FY 2019. For the most recent quarter, Airbnb disclosed that it had 121.1M nights and experiences booked through its platform, which translated to a booking value of $20.4B. This means that Airbnb&#39;s booking value, a key metric that measures Airbnb&#39;s operational and financial performance, more than doubled compared to Q1&#39;19.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/567c09f4fbcd86bfd8fb59ff276edc27\" alt=\"Source: Airbnb\" title=\"Source: Airbnb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"204\"/><span>Source: Airbnb</span></p><p>One of the best reasons to buy Airbnb is that the booking firm is now consistently profitable on an adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow basis: ever since the first-quarter of 2022, Airbnb has achieved positive adjusted EBITDA as well as strong EBITDA margins of up to 51%. The second- and third-quarters are typically strong quarters for Airbnb, as seasonality (summer vacations) positively influence business performance.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b9220a83109e9874832a94c716bc6205\" alt=\"Source: Airbnb\" title=\"Source: Airbnb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"450\"/><span>Source: Airbnb</span></p><h2>Airbnb is now a highly profitable free cash flow business</h2><p>Due to the recovery of Airbnb&#39;s booking business after the pandemic, the company has achieved impressive free cash flow profitability as well. Airbnb generated $3.8B in free cash flow in the last twelve months, which calculates to a free cash flow margin of 44%. In the first quarter of FY 2023, the booking platform achieved a FCF margin of a massive 87%, although investors must expect this margin to normalize throughout the summer months as people pre-pay for their trips. However, a FCF margin around 40-50% is insanely impressive, and it proves that Airbnb is running a highly profitable enterprise.</p><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Airbnb</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Q1&#39;22</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Q2&#39;22</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Q3&#39;22</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Q4&#39;22</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Q1&#39;23</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Growth Y/Y</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Revenues ($M)</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$1,509</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$2,104</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$2,884</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$1,902</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$1,818</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>20%</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Operating Cash Flow ($M)</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$1,202</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$800</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$965</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$463</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>$1,587</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>32%</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Capex ($M)</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>-$6</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>-$5</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>-$6</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>-$8</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>-$6</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>0%</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>Free Cash Flow ($M)</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>$1,196</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>$795</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>$959</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>$455</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>$1,581</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>32%</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>FCF Margin</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>79%</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>38%</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>33%</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>24%</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>87%</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>--</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>(Source: Author)</p><p>A lot of this free cash flow is being returned to investors as well: through stock buybacks. In the first-quarter, Airbnb announced that its board of directors approved a stock buyback authorization of $2.5B and the company repurchased $493M of its common shares. Therefore, Airbnb returned 31% of its FCF to shareholders as stock buybacks in the first-quarter.</p><p>I expect Airbnb to repurchase about $400-500M quarterly until the buyback authorization is completed. Assuming $1.0B in normalized average quarterly free cash flow, Airbnb could return between 40-50% of its free cash flow as buybacks, each quarter, until the buyback authorization is exhausted.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/fa9a221be89bd165f5ce185c42189669\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><h2>Airbnb&#39;s valuation is high, but justified</h2><p>Airbnb is growing rapidly and projected to see 13-15% annual top line growth in each of the next five years. The travel company is currently valued at 7.4X forward revenues, which is above the valuations of other travel companies such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BKNG\">Booking Holdings</a> (BKNG), which owns Booking.com and Agoda, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a> (EXPE). Airbnb is also, at least right now, more expensive than its historical average: the 1-year average P/S ratio for Airbnb is 6.9X.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/92d4b854cb9c54521afa88981cdb82c2\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Despite the higher valuation, I believe Airbnb&#39;s free cash flow margins justify the high price tag. With a free cash flow margin converging on 50%, Airbnb is an extremely profitable booking platform that has great potential to expand its valuation, in my opinion.</p><h2>Risks with Airbnb</h2><p>The biggest risk inherent in Airbnb&#39;s business model is seasonality. COVID-like pandemics that shut down the entire travel industry are risk factors as well that investors must be able to handle. What would change my mind about Airbnb is if the company were to scale back its stock buybacks, saw lower free cash flow margins or decided to return a lower percentage of its free cash flow to shareholders.</p><h2>Final thoughts</h2><p>Airbnb is a well-run business with consistent adjusted EBITDA profitability and the upcoming holiday/travel season could drive Airbnb&#39;s business to new records in bookings, revenues and free cash flow. Additionally, Airbnb is now generating very high free cash flow margins closing in on 50%, indicating that the booking platform has reached critical scale. Key performance metrics show that the company has moved on from the pandemic and is now a much larger business than before the pandemic. While shares of Airbnb are not a complete bargain, high free cash flows and stock buyback potential could drive a continual upward revaluation of Airbnb&#39;s shares, in my opinion!</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The firm is buying back a ton of its shares.Risks include seasonality and potential future pandemics, but the upcoming summer travel season could act as a catalyst for further growth.SrdjanPavAirbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) is widely free cash flow-profitable and the travel company is facing a powerful catalyst from the upcoming travel season. As summer travel starts, Airbnb is likely going to experience a seasonal surge in bookings, which could drive the firm's adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to new records. While shares of Airbnb are not cheap with a forward price-to-revenue ratio of 7.4X, I believe Airbnb's high free cash flow margins translate into a risk profile that continues to be skewed to the upside!Data by YChartsStrong post-pandemic recovery creates business tailwindsCOVID-19 obviously was a major challenge for the travel industry including Airbnb which saw a collapse of bookings during the pandemic. The pandemic alone set Airbnb back by approximately two years, but business trends have materially improved since 2022 as the travel sector staged a strong rebound.According to Statista, most markets around the world (with the exception of Asia and Africa) are expected to have made a full recovery in air travel passenger numbers by either 2023 or 2024. For Airbnb, this implies procyclical business tailwinds that could result in new records for bookings, revenues and free cash flow.Source: StatistaAirbnb's booking business recovered strongly in FY 2022 and the company now widely exceeds its performance metrics from FY 2019. For the most recent quarter, Airbnb disclosed that it had 121.1M nights and experiences booked through its platform, which translated to a booking value of $20.4B. This means that Airbnb's booking value, a key metric that measures Airbnb's operational and financial performance, more than doubled compared to Q1'19.Source: AirbnbOne of the best reasons to buy Airbnb is that the booking firm is now consistently profitable on an adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow basis: ever since the first-quarter of 2022, Airbnb has achieved positive adjusted EBITDA as well as strong EBITDA margins of up to 51%. The second- and third-quarters are typically strong quarters for Airbnb, as seasonality (summer vacations) positively influence business performance.Source: AirbnbAirbnb is now a highly profitable free cash flow businessDue to the recovery of Airbnb's booking business after the pandemic, the company has achieved impressive free cash flow profitability as well. Airbnb generated $3.8B in free cash flow in the last twelve months, which calculates to a free cash flow margin of 44%. In the first quarter of FY 2023, the booking platform achieved a FCF margin of a massive 87%, although investors must expect this margin to normalize throughout the summer months as people pre-pay for their trips. However, a FCF margin around 40-50% is insanely impressive, and it proves that Airbnb is running a highly profitable enterprise.AirbnbQ1'22Q2'22Q3'22Q4'22Q1'23Growth Y/YRevenues ($M)$1,509$2,104$2,884$1,902$1,81820%Operating Cash Flow ($M)$1,202$800$965$463$1,58732%Capex ($M)-$6-$5-$6-$8-$60%Free Cash Flow ($M)$1,196$795$959$455$1,58132%FCF Margin79%38%33%24%87%--(Source: Author)A lot of this free cash flow is being returned to investors as well: through stock buybacks. In the first-quarter, Airbnb announced that its board of directors approved a stock buyback authorization of $2.5B and the company repurchased $493M of its common shares. Therefore, Airbnb returned 31% of its FCF to shareholders as stock buybacks in the first-quarter.I expect Airbnb to repurchase about $400-500M quarterly until the buyback authorization is completed. Assuming $1.0B in normalized average quarterly free cash flow, Airbnb could return between 40-50% of its free cash flow as buybacks, each quarter, until the buyback authorization is exhausted.Data by YChartsAirbnb's valuation is high, but justifiedAirbnb is growing rapidly and projected to see 13-15% annual top line growth in each of the next five years. The travel company is currently valued at 7.4X forward revenues, which is above the valuations of other travel companies such as Booking Holdings (BKNG), which owns Booking.com and Agoda, and Expedia (EXPE). Airbnb is also, at least right now, more expensive than its historical average: the 1-year average P/S ratio for Airbnb is 6.9X.Data by YChartsDespite the higher valuation, I believe Airbnb's free cash flow margins justify the high price tag. With a free cash flow margin converging on 50%, Airbnb is an extremely profitable booking platform that has great potential to expand its valuation, in my opinion.Risks with AirbnbThe biggest risk inherent in Airbnb's business model is seasonality. COVID-like pandemics that shut down the entire travel industry are risk factors as well that investors must be able to handle. What would change my mind about Airbnb is if the company were to scale back its stock buybacks, saw lower free cash flow margins or decided to return a lower percentage of its free cash flow to shareholders.Final thoughtsAirbnb is a well-run business with consistent adjusted EBITDA profitability and the upcoming holiday/travel season could drive Airbnb's business to new records in bookings, revenues and free cash flow. Additionally, Airbnb is now generating very high free cash flow margins closing in on 50%, indicating that the booking platform has reached critical scale. Key performance metrics show that the company has moved on from the pandemic and is now a much larger business than before the pandemic. While shares of Airbnb are not a complete bargain, high free cash flows and stock buyback potential could drive a continual upward revaluation of Airbnb's shares, in my opinion!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":355,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":184773547597944,"gmtCreate":1686150137668,"gmtModify":1686150139455,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Its factories in Berlin, Germany, and Shanghai will each take on 1 million units, the report said.Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the company's 2020 Battery Day that self-driving electric vehicles priced at $25,000 will be possible by 2023.Although rumors of the lower-priced model have popped up from time to time over the past few years, it has never become a reality.Depending on the factory's construction schedule, mass production of Tesla's $25,000 model may not come soon, and is likely to be more than a year away at least, the 36kr report said, citing a source.If Tesla can bring the price of its EVs down to slightly more than RMB 100,000, not only will it gain significant market share for itself, but it will also be a huge push for the maturation of the industry chain, an industry source said, adding that this is when the smart EV industry will see drastic changes.Tesla has ambitious sales plans, and Musk said last year that the EV maker could open 10 to 12 new factories to increase production and eventually reach its goal of selling 20 million EVs a year by 2030.Tesla delivered 422,875 units worldwide in the first quarter, up 36.39 percent from 310,048 units in the same period last year and up 4.34 percent from 405,278 units delivered in the fourth quarter, according to its announcement on April 2.Tesla Model 3 and Model Y delivered 412,180 units worldwide in the quarter, and Model S and Model X were 10,695 units.In China, Tesla has a factory in Shanghai that produces the Model 3 and Model Y. It is the largest Tesla factory in the world, with an annual capacity of about 1.1 million units per year.Tesla does not reveal its deliveries in China, although the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) publishes these numbers every month.Tesla's deliveries in China in January and February were 26,843 and 33,923, respectively, and its Shanghai plant exported 39,208 and 40,479 units in the two months, according to the CPCA. March figures are expected to be available in the next few days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":97,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941206270,"gmtCreate":1680252492691,"gmtModify":1680252497193,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GOOG\">$Alphabet(GOOG)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>🚀🚀🚀 $200 coming soon&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GOOG\">$Alphabet(GOOG)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>🚀🚀🚀 $200 coming soon&nbsp;","text":"$Alphabet(GOOG)$ 🚀🚀🚀 $200 coming soon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941206270","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941870163,"gmtCreate":1680161446053,"gmtModify":1680161449941,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"🚀🚀🚀","listText":"🚀🚀🚀","text":"🚀🚀🚀","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941870163","repostId":"2323275705","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2323275705","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1680159565,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2323275705?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-30 14:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"History Shows Why Now Could Be a Once-in-a-Decade Buying Opportunity for Alphabet Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2323275705","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Alphabet's struggles are only temporary.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Alphabet is the parent company of many iconic companies like Google, YouTube, and the Android operating system.

Still, investors aren't convinced, as the stock trades at the lower end of its decade-long average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio.GOOGL PE Ratio data by YChartsHigh revenue with the same margins will increase earnings, but higher revenue with improving margins will lead to massive earnings growth. These two components will make the denominator of the ratio get larger, making the stock seem even cheaper than it is right now.If you utilize projected 2024 earnings, Alphabet trades at 17.4 times forward earnings. That's cheap for one of the most influential companies on Earth, which means investors shouldn't hesitate to take a position in Alphabet stock right now due to its future potential.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":100593933,"gmtCreate":1619619955322,"gmtModify":1704726951654,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">$Walt Disney(DIS)$</a>up","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">$Walt Disney(DIS)$</a>up","text":"$Walt Disney(DIS)$up","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f427545a0e52899c81904ed04d1afb01","width":"1125","height":"1949"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/100593933","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":382,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9955494429,"gmtCreate":1675651564961,"gmtModify":1676539937631,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"300 soon buy buy buy&nbsp;","listText":"300 soon buy buy buy&nbsp;","text":"300 soon buy buy buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9955494429","repostId":"2308464849","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2308464849","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1675636247,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2308464849?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-06 06:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is It Time to Buy Tesla Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2308464849","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Tesla is full of distractions, but don't let the headlines impede your view on how the business is really performing.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>KEY POINTS</p><ul><li>Tesla&#39;s production numbers were solid in Q4, even if they missed Wall Street&#39;s projections.</li><li>A price cut will affect Tesla&#39;s falling gross margins.</li><li>The stock is much cheaper than it has been in years past, but it&#39;s still quite expensive.</li></ul><p>One of the most polarizing stocks in today&#39;s market is <b>Tesla</b>.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories worldwide.</p><p>We have written two articles on Apple&#39;s stock in 2022. Both times, we had a bullish view.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6890004543e33bfae84a518ba9e617c4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"390\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Analysis history (Author)</span></p><p>Today, after the earnings release, we are revisiting Apple once again, but now taking a look at the business from a different perspective. We will examine Apple&#39;s profitability and efficiency over time, while discussing the latest quarterly results and their implications going forward. We will also give an updated view on the &#34;China risk&#34; that we have elaborated on in our previous article.</p><h2>Quarterly results</h2><p>In the first quarter of FY2023 (Q1-23), Apple has posted revenues, which have declined 5% year-over-year, reaching $117.2 billion. At the same time, earnings per share came at $1.88 per share.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14e18a486a5e2426a048e79775609d32\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"87\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Net sales (Apple)</span></p><p>Important to point out that the weakening of the product revenue has been partially offset by the increase in services revenue.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4ec75b265e5130c79b21db5c697b81a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"139\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Revenue by segment (Apple)</span></p><p>Only the iPad and the Services segments have not seen a decline in revenue in the past quarter.</p><p>While the revenue decline may appear discouraging for many, we have to understand the factors that have been playing a major role in this development. The macroeconomic environment in 2022 has been quite challenging, leading to problems both on the supply and demand sides, and resulting in elevated costs.</p><h2>Demand</h2><p>Consumer confidence in 2022 has hit historic lows. During times of poor consumer sentiment, people are less likely to spend on discretionary, durable items, such as personal electronics.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7a2efdf8806aeb4148a1a764a549fac\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Consumer sentiment (Tradingeconomics.com)</span></p><p>Since its lows in June, this indicator has been gradually improving, albeit continuing to stay at relatively low levels.</p><p>Consumer confidence is often treated as a leading economic indicator, which can be used to gauge the change in trend in the spending behaviour of the consumer. We believe that consumer sentiment is likely to keep increasing (however, probably at a slower pace) in 2023, potentially leading to positive impacts on the spending. This in turn could lead to even higher demand for Apple&#39;s products and services.</p><h2>Supply</h2><p>The Covid-19 restrictions in China, due to the country&#39;s zero Covid policy has played a major role in creating supply side issues over the past years. In our previous article we have articulated the problems in detail, which have been primarily related to the fact that most of Apple&#39;s manufacturing is concentrated in China. Therefore factory shut downs and the dissatisfaction of the workers with the policies have led to substantial declines in output. The manufacturing issues have been primarily related to the higher end iPhones, potentially contributing significantly to the sales decline in the iPhone segment.</p><p>Looking forward, we are happy to see that services revenue has increased, because it is not directly limited by any supply side problems. While the zero Covid policy has been since then suspended, China is &#34;reopening&#34;, and Apple has also taken steps to diversify its manufacturing, shifting the production of some of its products to India, it may take several years to fully materialise and become less dependent on China. For now, the firm&#39;s dependence on China and on the revenue of iPhone sales remain significant risks. Therefore, we believe that the service revenue stream is strategically important.</p><h2>Costs</h2><p>While revenue has declined by about 5%, cost of sales has only declined by about 4%, leading to a gross margin contraction.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fe5a40d43a95fd6206c50819acb57228\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"74\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Cost of sales (Apple)</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc36ed53070351a6a5576c969016fc66\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"67\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Gross margins (Apple)</span></p><p>Another reason why we are actually happy to see the services segment expanding is its high gross margin. While the services gross margin has also contracted in the prior quarter, it still remains more than 30% higher than the products gross margin.</p><p>Operating expenses have even increased during the period, leading to substantial decline in operating income and in net income. Both the R&amp;D and the SG&amp;A expense increases have been related to the headcount increase.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa385e9b89e7105f9aa076dce7f32d1b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"77\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Operating expenses (Apple)</span></p><p>Looking forward, we expect the macroeconomic environment to keep improving in 2023. In our opinion, the positive effects of this improvement are likely to be already more visible in the second half of the year. We believe that energy prices are not likely to increase again to their 2022 highs in the near future, which could have a positive impact on the freight and raw material costs. Inflationary pressures are likely to be easing too, potentially resulting in a downward pressure on wages.</p><h2>Currency</h2><p>When looking at the sales result by geography, we can see that sales have declined in all regions.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories worldwide.We have written two articles on Apple's stock in 2022. Both times, we had a bullish view.Analysis history (Author)Today, after the earnings release, we are revisiting Apple once again, but now taking a look at the business from a different perspective. We will examine Apple's profitability and efficiency over time, while discussing the latest quarterly results and their implications going forward. We will also give an updated view on the \"China risk\" that we have elaborated on in our previous article.Quarterly resultsIn the first quarter of FY2023 (Q1-23), Apple has posted revenues, which have declined 5% year-over-year, reaching $117.2 billion. At the same time, earnings per share came at $1.88 per share.Net sales (Apple)Important to point out that the weakening of the product revenue has been partially offset by the increase in services revenue.Revenue by segment (Apple)Only the iPad and the Services segments have not seen a decline in revenue in the past quarter.While the revenue decline may appear discouraging for many, we have to understand the factors that have been playing a major role in this development. The macroeconomic environment in 2022 has been quite challenging, leading to problems both on the supply and demand sides, and resulting in elevated costs.DemandConsumer confidence in 2022 has hit historic lows. During times of poor consumer sentiment, people are less likely to spend on discretionary, durable items, such as personal electronics.Consumer sentiment (Tradingeconomics.com)Since its lows in June, this indicator has been gradually improving, albeit continuing to stay at relatively low levels.Consumer confidence is often treated as a leading economic indicator, which can be used to gauge the change in trend in the spending behaviour of the consumer. We believe that consumer sentiment is likely to keep increasing (however, probably at a slower pace) in 2023, potentially leading to positive impacts on the spending. This in turn could lead to even higher demand for Apple's products and services.SupplyThe Covid-19 restrictions in China, due to the country's zero Covid policy has played a major role in creating supply side issues over the past years. In our previous article we have articulated the problems in detail, which have been primarily related to the fact that most of Apple's manufacturing is concentrated in China. Therefore factory shut downs and the dissatisfaction of the workers with the policies have led to substantial declines in output. The manufacturing issues have been primarily related to the higher end iPhones, potentially contributing significantly to the sales decline in the iPhone segment.Looking forward, we are happy to see that services revenue has increased, because it is not directly limited by any supply side problems. While the zero Covid policy has been since then suspended, China is \"reopening\", and Apple has also taken steps to diversify its manufacturing, shifting the production of some of its products to India, it may take several years to fully materialise and become less dependent on China. For now, the firm's dependence on China and on the revenue of iPhone sales remain significant risks. Therefore, we believe that the service revenue stream is strategically important.CostsWhile revenue has declined by about 5%, cost of sales has only declined by about 4%, leading to a gross margin contraction.Cost of sales (Apple)Gross margins (Apple)Another reason why we are actually happy to see the services segment expanding is its high gross margin. While the services gross margin has also contracted in the prior quarter, it still remains more than 30% higher than the products gross margin.Operating expenses have even increased during the period, leading to substantial decline in operating income and in net income. Both the R&D and the SG&A expense increases have been related to the headcount increase.Operating expenses (Apple)Looking forward, we expect the macroeconomic environment to keep improving in 2023. In our opinion, the positive effects of this improvement are likely to be already more visible in the second half of the year. We believe that energy prices are not likely to increase again to their 2022 highs in the near future, which could have a positive impact on the freight and raw material costs. Inflationary pressures are likely to be easing too, potentially resulting in a downward pressure on wages.CurrencyWhen looking at the sales result by geography, we can see that sales have declined in all regions. The firm has been citing the relative strength of the USD compared to other currencies as the main driver of the decline.Sales by region (Apple)The dollar index has, however, peaked mid-2022 and has been falling sharply since then.Dollar index (Tradingeconomics.com)Looking forward, we believe that this development is likely to benefit AAPL's financial performance in the coming quarters.Overall, we are not discouraged by the revenue and earnings decline reported, and our view remains bullish on the firm.Now that we have looked at the latest quarterly report, let us take a look at the firm's profitability and efficiency and their dynamics over the past years.Return on equityROE is an important measure of financial performance and it is often used to gauge the corporation's profitability and its efficiency of generating profits. An improving or stable ROE is encouraging.Data by YChartsApple's ROE has been gradually improving over the past 5 years, increasing significantly above 100%. Let us decompose this measure into three parts, namely the net profit margin, the asset turnover and the equity multiplier to analyse what factor has been primarily responsible for this apparently outstanding performance.ROE decomposition (investopedia.com)Net profit marginNet profit margin measures how much net income or profit is generated as a percentage of revenue.Despite the recent decline due to the challenging macroeconomic environment, AAPL has managed to substantially improve its net margin over the past 5 years.Data by YChartsLooking forward, if the firm manages to keep increasing the share of services revenue stream, the net margin is likely to keep expanding further. Moreover, we believe that the improving macroeconomic environment, and its implications on the costs, as explained earlier, are also likely to positively impact AAPL's profitability measure.Asset turnoverThe asset turnover ratio (or sometimes called asset utilization) measures the value of a company's sales or revenues relative to the value of its assets. It indicates how effectively the company is using its assets to generate sales. Promising to see that Apple has been gradually getting more efficient in using its assets to generate more revenue.Data by YChartsEquity multiplierThe last part of the three step decomposition of the ROE is the equity multiplier, which is simply the ratio of assets to shareholder equity. A higher ratio indicates more leverage, meaning that the firm is using a larger amount of debt to finance its assets.Data by YChartsApple's leverage has been increasing at a rapid pace. This is a development that we do not find that appealing and could also present some risks going forward. True, that Apple is using its assets more and more efficiently, including its debt as well, however it has unwanted impacts on the firm's liquidity.Apple's liquidity ratios have been gradually declining since 2020. The current- and quick ratios measures whether the company is able to cover its current liabilities using its current assets. The difference between the quick- and the current ratio is that the quick ratio excludes the inventory from the calculation. Ideally, we would like to see these ratios above 1, or at least gradually trending upwards. It is, however, not the case.Data by YChartsBefore sounding too alarming, we also have to take a look at these measures of some of AAPL's peers. Relative to the companies mentioned below, Apple's measures look quite average.Comparison (Seeking Alpha)Further, Apple is generating substantial cash flow from operations, which are more than enough to sustain their debt levels at the moment.Regardless, we would like to see Apple's liquidity ratios improving to make sure that the firm has enough financial flexibility in case the macroeconomic environment does not improve as expected.To rememberDespite the decline in sales in the latest quarter, our view remains bullish on Apple's business. With the improvement of the macroeconomic environment, we expect an improvement in the firm's financial performance in the coming quarters, including supply, demand, costs and the FX environment.Apple has been increasing its efficiency and profitability gradually over the years. If the services revenue stream can grow further, it could have additional positive impacts on the profitability, due to its exceptionally high margins.The dependence on China for manufacturing and the substantial dependence of the revenue on iPhone sales are likely to remain risk factors for the coming years.We also would like to see the company's liquidity ratios improving.All in all, we remain bullish on Apple.This article is written by Bela Lakos for reference only.

If market efficiency holds, the stock could gain considerable value.Financial research firm Tigress financial released a bombshell with its bullish analysis on Meta Platforms (META), stating that the stock might surge to $466, which implies an increase of 195%.According to Tigress, Meta “remains well-positioned to benefit from the evolution of social commerce, commercial aspects, and future monetization potential of the Metaverse.”Tigress’ analysis provides a valuable juxtaposition to Needham’s Laura Martin, who recently downgraded META stock from Outperform to Hold.According to Martin: “We lower our estimates because we believe cost growth will far exceed revenue growth for the next two years.” In addition, Martin pointed out that Meta’s moat is diminishing, causing much concern for its stock.Although Martin’s argument should be considered, I’m bullish and support Tigress Financial’s stance on Meta stock; here’s why.Meta in the Current MarketBlackRock’s (BLK) iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL) has Meta as one of its primary holdings, meaning that Meta is considered a high-quality stock with a robust balance sheet, a flying income statement, and dominant market share.High-quality stocks such as Meta could be rare performers if a recession or stagflation had to occur because risk-aversion will likely cause the market’s liquidity to gravitate towards high-quality assets.Furthermore, Meta is a “best-in-class” asset, as its presence in the technology market can’t be doubted. For example, the firm’s illustrious net income margin of 31.2% illustrates its pricing and bargaining power, which could sustain the company’s investors’ value accumulation.Meta Platforms’ Earnings Prospects are BrightMeta’s first-quarter results revealed a 7% year-over-year revenue increase as family app daily activity across its platforms rose 6%, and its ad impressions on its family apps surged 15% year-over-year.According to the firm’s CEO and founder, Mark Zuckerberg: “We made progress this quarter across a number of key company priorities, and we remain confident in the long-term opportunities and growth that our product roadmap will unlock.”Despite its maturity, Meta is still considered a secular growth company, which is conveyed by its five-year revenue CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 31.6%. Secular growth stocks tend to brush off economic headwinds, making them exceptionally lucrative investments during uncertain times.There’s been much concern that an economic contraction would dent Facebook’s advertising revenue as enterprise spending wanes. However, investors must bear in mind that the online advertising industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 11% from 2021-2026, according to a report from technavio.This categorizes it as a high-growth domain. Moreover, Facebook is projected to own 24.1% of the ad-selling industry by 2023, which suggests that its segment earnings could be non-cyclical.Lastly, Meta’s Beneish M-Score of -3.11 means that the firm is on the back of a period of conservative accounting practices. As such, Meta could likely surprise to the upside with a few of its following earnings releases.Valuation Metrics Suggest Meta is UndervaluedRelative valuation metrics suggest that Meta stock is undervalued. The stock’s price-to-earnings ratio (12.4x) trades at a 55% discount to its five-year average, implying that Meta stock is trading below its cyclical peak.Additionally, with a PEG ratio of 0.94x, the market underscores the company’s earnings-per-share growth, which leaves an earnings-driven value gap in play.Another aspect that supports the claim that Meta is undervalued is the firm’s cash flow statement. Meta’s levered free cash flow has surged by 102% in the past year, and its price-to-cash-flow ratio is at a 58.3% discount to its five-year average, substantiating a theory that the market underscores Meta’s cash-flow-generating abilities.Lastly, out of most of the big technology stocks, Meta seems the most reasonably priced if judged on its price-to-earnings ratio. Thus, it’s valid to conclude that the stock stacks up impressively from a peer-analysis vantage point.Wall Street’s Take on Meta PlatformsTurning to Wall Street, Meta Platforms earns a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 29 Buys, seven Holds, and two Sell ratings assigned in the past three months. The average META stock price target of $265.86 implies 68.2% upside potential.Concluding Thoughts – Tigress Financial May be RightMeta has lost more than half of its market value since the turn of the year. However, the firm’s fundamentals remain robust and quantitative metrics suggest that it’s an undervalued stock. As such, Tigress Financial could be correct in predicting that the stock might surge soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":163,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198316139,"gmtCreate":1620925581021,"gmtModify":1704350643158,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Sad","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Sad","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$Sad","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10549bdfb133915c0551d0ae3577642f","width":"1125","height":"1949"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/198316139","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":665,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941870163,"gmtCreate":1680161446053,"gmtModify":1680161449941,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"🚀🚀🚀","listText":"🚀🚀🚀","text":"🚀🚀🚀","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941870163","repostId":"2323275705","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2323275705","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1680159565,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2323275705?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-30 14:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"History Shows Why Now Could Be a Once-in-a-Decade Buying Opportunity for Alphabet Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2323275705","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Alphabet's struggles are only temporary.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Alphabet is the parent company of many iconic companies like Google, YouTube, and the Android operating system.

It would mark the worst intraday sell-off in U.S. history at the time, a record that would stand until 1929.\nThe Panic of 1893 was triggered in part by falling gold reserves in the U.S. Treasury. At the time, the U.S. was on the gold standard, meaning U.S. dollars could be redeemed for physical gold. When Treasury gold reserves dropped from $190 million in 1890 to $100 million by 1893, Americans grew concerned that the Treasury might run out of gold and began withdrawing bank notes and converting them to gold, placing extreme strain on the U.S. banking industry and credit markets.\nThe May 5 sell-off was triggered in part by the bankruptcy of Nation Cordage the day before.General Electric CompanyGE 0.34%shares dropped 28% on the day from $80 to $58.\nFortunately for investors, the Panic of 1893 didn’t last for long. By the end of the day, the market nearly completely recovered its losses. GE, for example, closed the session at $78.50.\nThe Panic of 1893 would ravage the U.S. economy, triggering a severe four-year depression. Roughly 14,000 U.S. businesses closed, and unemployment rose to 20%. The event would mark the worst economic downturn in U.S. history until the Great Depression began in 1929.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941157449,"gmtCreate":1680077457882,"gmtModify":1680077463006,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"🚀🚀🚀","listText":"🚀🚀🚀","text":"🚀🚀🚀","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941157449","repostId":"1174166301","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1174166301","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":1680076850,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174166301?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-29 16:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"UP Fintech posts annual revenue of US$225.4 million in 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174166301","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The company turns a profit in non-GAAP terms for the third consecutive year Annual target of new fun","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>The company turns a profit in non-GAAP terms for the third consecutive year</p></li><li><p><span style=\"color:#3370FF;\"> </span>Annual target of new funded accounts is overachieved amid scaled-up global expansion</p></li></ul><p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Singapore and New York, March 29, 2023 — UP Fintech Holding Limited</strong> (&#34;UP Fintech&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;, Nasdaq: TIGR, and all its subsidiaries and consolidated entities), an online brokerage with a focus on redefining global investing with technologies for the next generation, announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Amid the macroeconomic headwinds and market volatilities worldwide in 2022, the company showcased its strong strategic execution capabilities and improved operational efficiency, posting annual revenue of US$225.4 million and non-GAAP net income attributable to UP Fintech of US$12.68 million — registering a profit for the third consecutive year.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In the fourth quarter of 2022, UP Fintech&#39;s total revenue amounted to US$63.85 million, up 15.2% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), and the non-GAAP net income was numbered at US$4.52 million.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">During Q4, the number of new customer accounts globally increased by 37,600, bringing the total account holders to over 2 million.

Our revenue continued to grow QoQ, and the net income was up YoY,\" said Wu Tianhua, CEO and founder of UP Fintech.\"Looking back over the past year, in spite of the macroeconomic headwinds, the company presented its resilience with solid results. We were committed to investing in R&D and increasing operational efficiency, actions that halved the company's clearing-related costs on a YoY basis and made non-GAAP income profitable for the third consecutive year. On the business operations front, we are pleased to see that our annual target of new funded accounts was overachieved.

While it&#39;s too early to know if ChatGPT is an actual threat, especially since Alphabet has its own AI in the works, putting too many eggs in one basket isn&#39;t wise.</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s Google Cloud and YouTube segments are integral to the company&#39;s prospects and investors&#39; long-term profits.</p><h2>Google Cloud doubles its revenue in two years</h2><p>Alphabet has invested heavily to become the third-largest cloud infrastructure provider in the world, behind <b>Amazon&#39;s</b> AWS and Microsoft Azure, and it&#39;s paying off. Revenue has doubled since 2020, including a 37% increase last year, to reach $26.3 billion, as shown below.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6bc70765e29b4205643fa42ac4f9deb\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"237\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Data source: Alphabet. Chart by author.</p><p>Google Cloud owns just 10% of this fast-growing market, so it has plenty of room for gains; however, competition is fierce. The growth also took a hit in the fourth quarter, falling to 32%, as companies cut back on spending. Still, the demand for cloud services will far outlast the current economic challenges, making this fertile ground for years of gains.</p><p>Alphabet has sacrificed profits for sales growth in this segment (Google Cloud reported a loss from operations of $3 billion in 2022). But with the company becoming more cost-conscious and the segment&#39;s losses narrowing, operating profit should come soon. Results from this segment are crucial to the company&#39;s long-term success.</p><h2>Alphabet must do more with YouTube.</h2><p>YouTube is a powerhouse in the lucrative video platform market, with 2.5 billion monthly active users last year -- second only to <b>Meta Platform</b>&#39;s Facebook -- but there is potential for much more. YouTube ad revenue grew a paltry 1% to $29.2 billion in 2022 after an incredible 46% gain in 2021.</p><p>The economy is partly to blame because of decreased appetite for ad spending, as is competition.

And for good reason: As shown below, Google Search provided 56% of the company's total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022.Source: Alphabet.Google Search dominates the market with a share of almost 85%, easily besting Microsoft Bing's 9%. While it's too early to know if ChatGPT is an actual threat, especially since Alphabet has its own AI in the works, putting too many eggs in one basket isn't wise.Alphabet's Google Cloud and YouTube segments are integral to the company's prospects and investors' long-term profits.Google Cloud doubles its revenue in two yearsAlphabet has invested heavily to become the third-largest cloud infrastructure provider in the world, behind Amazon's AWS and Microsoft Azure, and it's paying off. Revenue has doubled since 2020, including a 37% increase last year, to reach $26.3 billion, as shown below.Data source: Alphabet. Chart by author.Google Cloud owns just 10% of this fast-growing market, so it has plenty of room for gains; however, competition is fierce. The growth also took a hit in the fourth quarter, falling to 32%, as companies cut back on spending. Still, the demand for cloud services will far outlast the current economic challenges, making this fertile ground for years of gains.Alphabet has sacrificed profits for sales growth in this segment (Google Cloud reported a loss from operations of $3 billion in 2022). But with the company becoming more cost-conscious and the segment's losses narrowing, operating profit should come soon. Results from this segment are crucial to the company's long-term success.Alphabet must do more with YouTube.YouTube is a powerhouse in the lucrative video platform market, with 2.5 billion monthly active users last year -- second only to Meta Platform's Facebook -- but there is potential for much more. YouTube ad revenue grew a paltry 1% to $29.2 billion in 2022 after an incredible 46% gain in 2021.The economy is partly to blame because of decreased appetite for ad spending, as is competition. But Alphabet has a tremendous opportunity to spur growth with YouTube Shorts, its short-form video platform that competes directly with TikTok.Some estimates put TikTok's annual ad revenue at $31 billion within five years, but it has a big problem. TikTok has been banned on federal government devices and by several states. And it faces a nationwide ban due to serious privacy concerns with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. Alphabet should push YouTube Shorts as a clear alternative to capture market share, whether TikTok is ultimately banned or not.Google Search is still the straw that stirs the drink at Alphabet, but investors should closely monitor Google Cloud and YouTube results. These could hold the key to future gains.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":41,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9991730764,"gmtCreate":1660877101760,"gmtModify":1676536417081,"author":{"id":"3581858950719595","authorId":"3581858950719595","name":"SoonHua","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e291b2d9179f759f0dd15dfc8aa2240","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581858950719595","authorIdStr":"3581858950719595"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9991730764","repostId":"1102999640","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1102999640","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1660865795,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1102999640?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-19 07:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A $2 Trillion Stock-Options Deadline Is Make-Or-Break Moment for Bulls","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1102999640","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Options trading seen having lifted stocks, capping volatilityBrace for price swings in both directions: Nomura strategistWith August shaping up to be the calmest month this year for US stocks, traders","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Options trading seen having lifted stocks, capping volatility</li><li>Brace for price swings in both directions: Nomura strategist</li></ul><p>With August shaping up to be the calmest month this year for US stocks, traders are closely watching Friday’s $2 trillion options expiration for hints whether the tranquility will last.</p><p>At issue is the belief that derivatives markets have somehow played a key role in suppressing volatility, thereby compelling rules-basedquant tradersto buy shares and in turn luring a broader group of investors back into the market in order tochase gains.</p><p>After likely spurring an equity rebound during the summer lull, some strategists warn that this benign activity in the options market -- typically fueled by Wall Street dealers -- could disappear at a critical time.</p><p>From central bankers’ annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to pending data on inflation and employment, and theFederal Reserve’s policy announcement, the next few weeks are full of potential catalysts for market chaos.</p><p>“There are some technical reasons why as we go into the expiration this Friday, volatility could stay dampened and you could continue to see the market relatively supported,” Amy Wu Silverman, an equity derivatives strategist at RBC Capital Markets, said on Bloomberg TV. “As people return back from vacation with eyes on the ball, you can see what the real volumes are telling you about the volatility pickup.”</p><p>About $2 trillion of options are set to expire, obliging holders to either roll over existing positions or start new ones.

For example, one of the disturbing trends we noticed was that FOMC members were constantly drawingcomparisons between the current inflationary environment and that of the 1970s.</p><blockquote>Inflation is a pernicious problem. One of the lessons of the last two years is that everybody feels the effects of inflation. It&#39;s pretty much across the spectrum. So rich and poor, young and old, everybody notices. So if we can&#39;t get this problem under control soon, we risk a replay of the 1970s. (St. Louis President James Bullard)</blockquote><p>He also said he would not rule out a 50bp rate hike at the March meeting, and reportedly advocated that at the previous meeting. Bullard also said he would like to bring the Fed&#39;s policy rate to 5.375% and reaffirmed his position on the duration of this inflation:</p><blockquote>My overall judgment is it will be a long battle against inflation, and we’ll probably have to continue to show inflation-fighting resolve as we go through 2023.</blockquote><p>Bullard is another member who has advocated the &#34;front-loading&#34; of monetary policy in the past. Worse, the FOMC member opposed monetary policy slowdowns, one of the main factors preventing the Fed from raising interest rates faster:</p><blockquote>I have pushed back against the long and variable lags argument… because I think in the modern era the transmission of monetary policy is much faster than it would have been in the 50s, 60s and 70s.</blockquote><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b109962eb2ab4752b70c19586b893e20\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>Loretta Mester, another hawkish FOMC member,also sawa &#34;compelling case for another 50 basis point rate hike&#34; earlier this month. But more importantly, about what steps to expect at subsequent meetings, she said in the question-and-answer session:</p><blockquote>The Fed could accelerate the pace of rate increases again if economic conditions warrant. It’s not always going to be, you know, 25(bp).</blockquote><p>A pause certainly does not seem to be on FOMC member Mester&#39;s books just yet, for when asked when they would pause, she noted that Fed officials are still raising interest rates to levels that are restrictive enough. Finally, she also noted that inflation risks are still on the upside, and those upside risks argue for &#34;overshooting.&#34;</p><blockquote>Nothing right now is leading me to think that I need to really be focused on that question at this point.</blockquote><p>Other members, such as Member Bowman and Member Barkin, affirm their view that it will be a long battle against inflation. Richmond Fed Chairman Thomas Barkin also raises the message not to make the mistakes made in the 1970s.</p><blockquote>I think there&#39;s a very good case for leaving rates higher, for a longer period of time to allow the tightening to hit. I do think the lesson of the 70s was very clear, which is don&#39;t give up too early.</blockquote><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49d0be7534585d5ec78780547ee31e31\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>Remarkably, Barkin also referred on Bloomberg to that period that &#34;their predecessors did the right thing,&#34; by which he probably meant Paul Volcker and called it a pursuit of him and the Fed.</p><p>To sum up all the Fed talk: FOMC members don&#39;t even think or consider a pivot, some would even prefer to overshoot and like to refer to the 1970s, basically calling for keeping interest rates higher for longer despite seeing inflation already coming down.</p><p>Our position is that while the markets continue to rally, Fed members still seem to want to take the stance of Volcker. And eventually, something has to give. In this game of chicken, it looks like the Fed will stick to its game plan to get inflation back to 2%, which seems impossible at the moment without causing a recession. Though thing seems certain: interest rates are probably going nowhere but up this year.</p><p><b>What Recession?</b></p><p>We believe the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates until the economy breaks, and also like to refer to the Federal Reserve&#39;s attitude toward economic growth in the past for that matter. After GDP was negative for 2 consecutive quarters last year, theFed&#39;s attitudewas essentially: recession? What recession?</p><blockquote>I do not think the U.S. is currently in a recession. And the reason is, there are just too many areas of the economy that are performing, you know, too well, and of course I would point to the labor market in particular.</blockquote><p>A rather strange statement, as most people and the Fed itself knows thatthe labor market is seen as a lagging indicator. In the past, whenever the labor market began to deteriorate, it was already too late to take action because the recession was already underway.</p><p>Take even recent data, from 2000 and 2008, where the Fed cut interest rates, and the labor market just kept deteriorating with a slowing effect until the end of the recession.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/420375d7371091dcc65814a84c0f363b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>There are very few reasons to believe that some sort of &#34;soft landing&#34; is in the books, as the Fed has single-handedly crashed the economy in the past every time it raised interest rates. The notion &#34;the Fed raises interest rates until something breaks&#34; has proven true throughout history.</p><p>Returning to the Fed&#39;s earlier speech, it is in fact what FOMC members have also indicated, with member Mester, for example, indicating that they prefer to &#34;overshoot.&#34; Will it be different this time? The yield curve tells us a story.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd0cbd4c768b625546b8a3dae1396c4c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>The Fed and the National Bureau for Economic Research (NBER) do not want to label current economic conditions as a recession yet. But funnily enough, by the time a period is defined as a recession, employment is already in the gutter and the S&amp;P 500 is down by more than 30% in recent history.</p><p><b>Fighting An Asset Bubble?</b></p><p>When we talk about CPI, we are often surprised how little the various components of that inflation are mentioned. If we look at the CPI index, it is still up 6.34% year-on-year, well above the 2% target.</p><p>But if we take the shelter component out of the equation, we see that inflation has been absolutely flat in recent months. When we hear &#34;sticky inflation,&#34; we hear little about the housing market.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8662689574e19e672618e43e0275c953\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>The shelter component consists of both rent and &#39;owners&#39; equivalent rent&#39;. When we plot both elements of the shelter component, we see something remarkable.</p><p>Owner-equivalent rent and rent itself have still gone completely vertical in recent months, despite reports from the housing market showing a notable slowdown due to higher mortgage rates, which nearly reached 7% last November.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d983834d249d8fb23ffdb83fcccd3f5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>Both of these are known as lagging indicators, and yet market participants seem to overlook them completely. Because if we look at actual data, from sources that have real-time data, such asRedfinand theNational Association of Realtors, we see that the median sales price of a home is more than 11% lower than at its peak.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c71c9635b3528d1e9a937e8e052b224b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Every measurement of the housing market showed cracks last year, with the median sales price falling significantly from its highest point ever.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf769db91ffb67d8430a1edf232c3234\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>And so it should be, as interest rates have risen at the fastest pace since the 1980s, and mortgages have become much more expensive, with 30-year mortgage rates well above 6%.</p><p>Yet the Federal Reserve&#39;s website shows that housing indicators are still resilient and stagnant around current levels. On the Fed&#39;s website, the median sales price of a home sold in the United States rose from $329K in early 2020 to $468K today. That&#39;s a 45.34% increase over three years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/542c27fd88a8edc2fe0e2fb40fc50f61\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>Rents, according toreal-time datafrom mostsources, also point to a decline, in contrast to the Federal Reserve&#39;s lagging data, which indicates that the huge inflationary pressures in that market are still being felt.</p><p>This discrepancy between the Federal Reserve and many economists looking at lagging data raises many questions for us as to whether, when they talk about sticky inflation, they are looking at all components of the CPI.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c774102e8f7d636eec260577104a5f9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Rent.com</p><p>To put that in perspective, we have seen exactly the same increase in house prices over the past three years that we saw between Q4 2004 and 2020. So we ask: is the Fed fighting inflation, or an asset bubble?</p><p>In our view, if the Fed wants to get interest rates below 2%, they are either waiting for the year-over-year equations in the housing market to fall, which is a lagging indicator, or have profound deflation in other parts of the economy. And right now we don&#39;t see those other parts showing strong deflation. On the other hand, if the housing market cracks, or the equations drop from year to year, we could end up with inflation well below target.</p><p>And if that happens, we end up as usual in a recession with a significant drop in the S&amp;P 500 and perhaps even deflation on a YoY basis. This could be the scenario as the Fed is keen to keep interest rates higher for longer.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d3a7ed8ec638ac7c9659b9706673ba5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>And that also raises the question of what would happen when we finally felt the effect of these interest rates. As some FOMC members pointed out, they have come to believe that &#34;long and variable lags&#34; in this modern economy may not be that long or variable.</p><p>Whereas research shows that it takes 12 months formonetary policy changes, such as interest rate changes, to take effect and 18 months for the full effect to be felt. To put that into context, we have already experienced profound deflationary forces recently, while according to the research, no interest rate hike has been felt yet.</p><p>These changes should not be felt until the end of this year and take full effect in 2024. Therefore, we still see a recession by the end of this year or at the start of 2024.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fb018e391c21e8c335d2d1d028f4ce9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>But what was the Fed focusing on this week? The main focus seems to be onretail sales, which came in hot and indicated that consumer spending remains strong. This raises the odds of the Fed raising interest rates.</p><p>And for us, it increases the likelihood that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates to a much too tight level, and that the Fed will make such policy mistake worse if just a couple of bad inflation prints show up. We urge investors to ask the question: when was the last time the Fed made the right decision? And let&#39;s face it: we don&#39;t know where the Fed will go with interest rates, we can&#39;t predict the future. But right now, looking at the Fed&#39;s past actions and their comments, it doesn&#39;t look good.</p><p>One thing we can take away from every meeting that is a given is that under no circumstances will the Fed consider a 2% inflation target increase. And it seems that certain market participants don&#39;t understand why that should be, and just tolerate a 3% or 4% target.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6c9effa5f7f712226a3f45f752bdcfb3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"298\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>Wages are not keeping up with inflation, and personal savings at its lowest point in decades. For example, more than half of Americanscannot cover $1,000 for emergencies with savings.</p><p>If inflation continues at these levels, the average American will be crushed by it. This time the Fed will rally behind the average American, who does not own the assets that have been inflated, and the Fed will keep going, probably until those assets are crushed.</p><p>The Fed has reiterated, time and again, that difficult markets are not as bad as vastly increased inflation for the average household. Also from a technical standpoint, we think the 2022 lows will be tested again this year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b80b58760ac95a0add6a96e4fbb71bc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"402\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>TradingView, Author</p><p>Finally, another factor is how this higher interest rate may affect the dynamic we have had over the last 20 years or so of &#34;TINA,&#34; or lack of good alternatives to stocks.</p><p>As you can see in the chart below, we took Federal Reserve data and plotted the earnings yield of the S&amp;P 500 over the past 60 years and compared it to the yield investors get from 10-year Treasuries. We chose 10-year Treasuries because this is often used as the discount rate in discounted cash flow models, looking 10 years ahead. The 10-year yield broke 4% last year and currently stands at 3.82% in an upward trend.</p><p>This compares with an earnings yield for the S&amp;P 500, which is only 4.59%. For example, if that 10-year yield approaches the earnings yield of the S&amp;P 500, investors are essentially only getting earnings growth as a premium. In short, the 10-year yield could put severe pressure on the S&amp;P 500 multiple if it keeps going higher.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2fc88085e3e826dcdbb8e67eb3127fc9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"401\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Author&#39;s Visualization, Federal Reserve Data</p><p>The last time the 10-year yield was around 4%, in the early to mid-2000s, the earnings yield was closer to 6%, or a historical average valuation of about 16x the P/E ratio. And that does not include any earnings deterioration that usually occurs in a recession.</p><p>Currently, stocks justaren&#39;t cheapat 22x earnings, we think, with a Federal Reserve that wants to keep interest rates above 5% for a long time, perhaps until something breaks.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p><p>While the Fed focuses on lagging indicators such as the labor market or prefers not to take too much account of what is going on in the housing market and its effect on the CPI, we believe these questions should be raised and made a real concern.</p><p>We think that the Federal Reserve, as always in history, will raise interest rates until something breaks. The deflationary forces we are seeing, along with the Fed&#39;s attitude that it thinks it is fighting inflation as it did in the 1970s, lead us to believe that the Fed will massively overshoot and keep interest rates high until the jobs market breaks and the S&amp;P 500 is once again down more than 30% than ever before. Since it looks to us like the Fed is in pole position to crash the economy, we advise investors to be cautious about equity rallies based on the assumption that the Federal Reserve will pivot soon.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ca1ca125b1e2c70f08cbd9d9830b30c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>We are cautious about long-duration, such as pure growth stocks, and prefer short-term t-bills with yields around 5%, cash, and a concentrated portfolio of stocks that already have strong free cash flow.

It also means that the Fed is playing with fire or lighting a fire under what used to be \"TINA\" or \"there is no alternative,\" now that the 6-month interest rate has broken through the 5% barrier.CME GroupFed TalkLast week, the calendar was full of FOMC members speaking out and giving subtle hints about the future of interest rates and where they believe inflation to be going. For example, one of the disturbing trends we noticed was that FOMC members were constantly drawingcomparisons between the current inflationary environment and that of the 1970s.Inflation is a pernicious problem. One of the lessons of the last two years is that everybody feels the effects of inflation. It's pretty much across the spectrum. So rich and poor, young and old, everybody notices. So if we can't get this problem under control soon, we risk a replay of the 1970s. (St. Louis President James Bullard)He also said he would not rule out a 50bp rate hike at the March meeting, and reportedly advocated that at the previous meeting. Bullard also said he would like to bring the Fed's policy rate to 5.375% and reaffirmed his position on the duration of this inflation:My overall judgment is it will be a long battle against inflation, and we’ll probably have to continue to show inflation-fighting resolve as we go through 2023.Bullard is another member who has advocated the \"front-loading\" of monetary policy in the past. Worse, the FOMC member opposed monetary policy slowdowns, one of the main factors preventing the Fed from raising interest rates faster:I have pushed back against the long and variable lags argument… because I think in the modern era the transmission of monetary policy is much faster than it would have been in the 50s, 60s and 70s.Federal Reserve (FRED)Loretta Mester, another hawkish FOMC member,also sawa \"compelling case for another 50 basis point rate hike\" earlier this month. But more importantly, about what steps to expect at subsequent meetings, she said in the question-and-answer session:The Fed could accelerate the pace of rate increases again if economic conditions warrant. It’s not always going to be, you know, 25(bp).A pause certainly does not seem to be on FOMC member Mester's books just yet, for when asked when they would pause, she noted that Fed officials are still raising interest rates to levels that are restrictive enough. Finally, she also noted that inflation risks are still on the upside, and those upside risks argue for \"overshooting.\"Nothing right now is leading me to think that I need to really be focused on that question at this point.Other members, such as Member Bowman and Member Barkin, affirm their view that it will be a long battle against inflation. Richmond Fed Chairman Thomas Barkin also raises the message not to make the mistakes made in the 1970s.I think there's a very good case for leaving rates higher, for a longer period of time to allow the tightening to hit. I do think the lesson of the 70s was very clear, which is don't give up too early.Federal Reserve (FRED)Remarkably, Barkin also referred on Bloomberg to that period that \"their predecessors did the right thing,\" by which he probably meant Paul Volcker and called it a pursuit of him and the Fed.To sum up all the Fed talk: FOMC members don't even think or consider a pivot, some would even prefer to overshoot and like to refer to the 1970s, basically calling for keeping interest rates higher for longer despite seeing inflation already coming down.Our position is that while the markets continue to rally, Fed members still seem to want to take the stance of Volcker. And eventually, something has to give. In this game of chicken, it looks like the Fed will stick to its game plan to get inflation back to 2%, which seems impossible at the moment without causing a recession. Though thing seems certain: interest rates are probably going nowhere but up this year.What Recession?We believe the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates until the economy breaks, and also like to refer to the Federal Reserve's attitude toward economic growth in the past for that matter. After GDP was negative for 2 consecutive quarters last year, theFed's attitudewas essentially: recession? What recession?I do not think the U.S. is currently in a recession. And the reason is, there are just too many areas of the economy that are performing, you know, too well, and of course I would point to the labor market in particular.A rather strange statement, as most people and the Fed itself knows thatthe labor market is seen as a lagging indicator. In the past, whenever the labor market began to deteriorate, it was already too late to take action because the recession was already underway.Take even recent data, from 2000 and 2008, where the Fed cut interest rates, and the labor market just kept deteriorating with a slowing effect until the end of the recession.Federal Reserve (FRED)There are very few reasons to believe that some sort of \"soft landing\" is in the books, as the Fed has single-handedly crashed the economy in the past every time it raised interest rates. The notion \"the Fed raises interest rates until something breaks\" has proven true throughout history.Returning to the Fed's earlier speech, it is in fact what FOMC members have also indicated, with member Mester, for example, indicating that they prefer to \"overshoot.\" Will it be different this time? The yield curve tells us a story.Federal Reserve (FRED)The Fed and the National Bureau for Economic Research (NBER) do not want to label current economic conditions as a recession yet. But funnily enough, by the time a period is defined as a recession, employment is already in the gutter and the S&P 500 is down by more than 30% in recent history.Fighting An Asset Bubble?When we talk about CPI, we are often surprised how little the various components of that inflation are mentioned. If we look at the CPI index, it is still up 6.34% year-on-year, well above the 2% target.But if we take the shelter component out of the equation, we see that inflation has been absolutely flat in recent months. When we hear \"sticky inflation,\" we hear little about the housing market.Federal Reserve (FRED)The shelter component consists of both rent and 'owners' equivalent rent'. When we plot both elements of the shelter component, we see something remarkable.Owner-equivalent rent and rent itself have still gone completely vertical in recent months, despite reports from the housing market showing a notable slowdown due to higher mortgage rates, which nearly reached 7% last November.Federal Reserve (FRED)Both of these are known as lagging indicators, and yet market participants seem to overlook them completely. Because if we look at actual data, from sources that have real-time data, such asRedfinand theNational Association of Realtors, we see that the median sales price of a home is more than 11% lower than at its peak.Data by YChartsEvery measurement of the housing market showed cracks last year, with the median sales price falling significantly from its highest point ever.Data by YChartsAnd so it should be, as interest rates have risen at the fastest pace since the 1980s, and mortgages have become much more expensive, with 30-year mortgage rates well above 6%.Yet the Federal Reserve's website shows that housing indicators are still resilient and stagnant around current levels. On the Fed's website, the median sales price of a home sold in the United States rose from $329K in early 2020 to $468K today. That's a 45.34% increase over three years.Federal Reserve (FRED)Rents, according toreal-time datafrom mostsources, also point to a decline, in contrast to the Federal Reserve's lagging data, which indicates that the huge inflationary pressures in that market are still being felt.This discrepancy between the Federal Reserve and many economists looking at lagging data raises many questions for us as to whether, when they talk about sticky inflation, they are looking at all components of the CPI.Rent.comTo put that in perspective, we have seen exactly the same increase in house prices over the past three years that we saw between Q4 2004 and 2020. So we ask: is the Fed fighting inflation, or an asset bubble?In our view, if the Fed wants to get interest rates below 2%, they are either waiting for the year-over-year equations in the housing market to fall, which is a lagging indicator, or have profound deflation in other parts of the economy. And right now we don't see those other parts showing strong deflation. On the other hand, if the housing market cracks, or the equations drop from year to year, we could end up with inflation well below target.And if that happens, we end up as usual in a recession with a significant drop in the S&P 500 and perhaps even deflation on a YoY basis. This could be the scenario as the Fed is keen to keep interest rates higher for longer.Federal Reserve (FRED)And that also raises the question of what would happen when we finally felt the effect of these interest rates. As some FOMC members pointed out, they have come to believe that \"long and variable lags\" in this modern economy may not be that long or variable.Whereas research shows that it takes 12 months formonetary policy changes, such as interest rate changes, to take effect and 18 months for the full effect to be felt. To put that into context, we have already experienced profound deflationary forces recently, while according to the research, no interest rate hike has been felt yet.These changes should not be felt until the end of this year and take full effect in 2024. Therefore, we still see a recession by the end of this year or at the start of 2024.Federal Reserve (FRED)But what was the Fed focusing on this week? The main focus seems to be onretail sales, which came in hot and indicated that consumer spending remains strong. This raises the odds of the Fed raising interest rates.And for us, it increases the likelihood that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates to a much too tight level, and that the Fed will make such policy mistake worse if just a couple of bad inflation prints show up. We urge investors to ask the question: when was the last time the Fed made the right decision? And let's face it: we don't know where the Fed will go with interest rates, we can't predict the future. But right now, looking at the Fed's past actions and their comments, it doesn't look good.One thing we can take away from every meeting that is a given is that under no circumstances will the Fed consider a 2% inflation target increase. And it seems that certain market participants don't understand why that should be, and just tolerate a 3% or 4% target.Federal Reserve (FRED)Wages are not keeping up with inflation, and personal savings at its lowest point in decades. For example, more than half of Americanscannot cover $1,000 for emergencies with savings.If inflation continues at these levels, the average American will be crushed by it. This time the Fed will rally behind the average American, who does not own the assets that have been inflated, and the Fed will keep going, probably until those assets are crushed.The Fed has reiterated, time and again, that difficult markets are not as bad as vastly increased inflation for the average household. Also from a technical standpoint, we think the 2022 lows will be tested again this year.TradingView, AuthorFinally, another factor is how this higher interest rate may affect the dynamic we have had over the last 20 years or so of \"TINA,\" or lack of good alternatives to stocks.As you can see in the chart below, we took Federal Reserve data and plotted the earnings yield of the S&P 500 over the past 60 years and compared it to the yield investors get from 10-year Treasuries. We chose 10-year Treasuries because this is often used as the discount rate in discounted cash flow models, looking 10 years ahead. The 10-year yield broke 4% last year and currently stands at 3.82% in an upward trend.This compares with an earnings yield for the S&P 500, which is only 4.59%. For example, if that 10-year yield approaches the earnings yield of the S&P 500, investors are essentially only getting earnings growth as a premium. In short, the 10-year yield could put severe pressure on the S&P 500 multiple if it keeps going higher.Author's Visualization, Federal Reserve DataThe last time the 10-year yield was around 4%, in the early to mid-2000s, the earnings yield was closer to 6%, or a historical average valuation of about 16x the P/E ratio. And that does not include any earnings deterioration that usually occurs in a recession.Currently, stocks justaren't cheapat 22x earnings, we think, with a Federal Reserve that wants to keep interest rates above 5% for a long time, perhaps until something breaks.The Bottom LineWhile the Fed focuses on lagging indicators such as the labor market or prefers not to take too much account of what is going on in the housing market and its effect on the CPI, we believe these questions should be raised and made a real concern.We think that the Federal Reserve, as always in history, will raise interest rates until something breaks. The deflationary forces we are seeing, along with the Fed's attitude that it thinks it is fighting inflation as it did in the 1970s, lead us to believe that the Fed will massively overshoot and keep interest rates high until the jobs market breaks and the S&P 500 is once again down more than 30% than ever before. Since it looks to us like the Fed is in pole position to crash the economy, we advise investors to be cautious about equity rallies based on the assumption that the Federal Reserve will pivot soon.Data by YChartsWe are cautious about long-duration, such as pure growth stocks, and prefer short-term t-bills with yields around 5%, cash, and a concentrated portfolio of stocks that already have strong free cash flow. Or ones who have the potential to generate said cash soon to buy back shares or pay dividends.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":94,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
