Us","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115532107","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryApple Inc. is expected to report a 40% drop in PC sales in Q2 year-over-year.This softness in","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Summary</h2><ul><li><p>Apple Inc. is expected to report a 40% drop in PC sales in Q2 year-over-year.</p></li><li><p>This softness in the PC market is not limited to Apple, but rather the PC market as a whole.</p></li><li><p>We believe that counting Apple out is a risky proposition.</p></li></ul><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Straight From The Headlines</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When you&#39;re the biggest company in the world, everything you do naturally makes waves. So, when it was announced that <strong>Apple Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:AAPL) personal computing [PC] business shipments are likely to have dropped by 40% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2023, investors can&#39;t help but take notice. What made the drop worse is the fact that the expected drop outpaces declines at other PC makers, like HP Inc. (HPQ) and Dell Technologies Inc. (DELL).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sentiment around Apple seems to feel, well, a bit jittery among investors. The stock has been such a stalwart for so long, and its performance and valuations have held up so well (relatively speaking) even through the 2022 &#34;tech-wreck,&#34; however, that perhaps it is natural for investors to wonder if (or when) the other shoe will drop.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, let&#39;s dive in and see what the recent news means for Apple.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">A Troubled Industry</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The PC market faces considerable macro headwinds. Research firm Gartner recently published a piece on the global state of the industry, and the picture it painted was grim indeed.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The PC market, it seems, is the latest market to be caught in the jaws of multiple negative forces--consumers overbought PCs at the height of the pandemic when they were locked inside with nothing to do, thus pulling sales into the future. Further, as recession fears grow, consumers and enterprise customers are scaling back the pace at which they are replacing older machines. Extending the life of computing hardware is a great way to avoid large cash outlays for companies.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thus, the industry seems caught in a bit of a perfect storm: people that would have bought today bought yesterday, and people who need to buy today are delaying purchases until tomorrow.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Against this backdrop, let&#39;s consider Apple&#39;s positioning within the market. Gartner estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2022, Apple controlled a respectable 17% of the U.S. market, giving it the third place behind HP and Dell, which held 23% and 26% of the market, respectively.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Next, consider Apple&#39;s spot as the premium-price provider in the space. A mid-range Mac will cost you a little more than $1,000, while a comparable PC is likely to cost around $600 (and yes, we know that the rabbit hole on &#34;comparable&#34; PCs can get quite deep--we are assuming an average user with average needs and very little required in the way of specialization in this scenario).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lastly, it&#39;s fairly well-known that Apple&#39;s PC products have a longer life expectancy than machines from other manufacturers (another potential rabbit hole here, but again we are considering an average amount of use).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Considering all of this, it&#39;s not surprising that Apple&#39;s expected PC sales should fall a bit more dramatically than its peers. In tough times, consumers cut costs, and it makes all the sense in the world to prefer a $600 option over a $1,000 option if that is what can truly be afforded.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In this scenario, Apple&#39;s longevity also acts as a double-edged sword, in that one of the products greatest benefits (its lifespan) is creating a drag on sales.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, then, we must ask ourselves--is this the proverbial shoe that jittery investors have been waiting on to drop?</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Revenue Segmentation</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In short, we don&#39;t think so.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here&#39;s a look at Apple&#39;s revenue mix for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 (figures in millions).</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df864895acea4ba9e25e205739cb705a\" alt=\"Company Filings\" title=\"Company Filings\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"144\"/><span>Company Filings</span></p>By revenue segment, Mac&#39;s brought up the rear with only (only!) $7.7 billion in sales, down from $10.8 billion the year prior. Mac sales, then, represented slightly less than 7% of overall sales for Apple during the holiday season.<p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let&#39;s also consider the nature of the headlines, namely that Apple is expected to have lower PC sales year-over-year by 40%. So, for an apples-to-apples (no pun intended) comparison, let&#39;s consider Apple&#39;s Q2 2022 sales.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the quarter ending March 2022, Apple sold $10.4 billion in its Mac segment. A 40% drop from that level implies Mac segment revenue of $6.24 billion for the quarter ending march 2023.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Levers to Pull</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple, of course, is like any other company--it doesn&#39;t want to see a loss of market share in any category, and investors should not expect that management will go quietly into the night without fighting back.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To this end, DigitalTrends reported that Apple had begun discounting prices on a handful of its Mac products. This is most likely an effort to juice demand of these products and, secondly, to avoid any painful build-up of idle inventory.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Discounts, of course, are only one option. Another is for the company to expand the terms it already offers Mac purchasers who want to pay over time for their Macs. Apple currently offers payments in 12 monthly installments for its Mac products, and a simple way to drop the payments for price-sensitive buyers would be to extend payments by a few months until demand normalizes.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Bottom Line</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be sure, any expectation of a 40% drop in segment sales is alarming.

So, when it was announced that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) personal computing [PC] business shipments are likely to have dropped by 40% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2023, investors can't help but take notice. What made the drop worse is the fact that the expected drop outpaces declines at other PC makers, like HP Inc. (HPQ) and Dell Technologies Inc. (DELL).Sentiment around Apple seems to feel, well, a bit jittery among investors. The stock has been such a stalwart for so long, and its performance and valuations have held up so well (relatively speaking) even through the 2022 \"tech-wreck,\" however, that perhaps it is natural for investors to wonder if (or when) the other shoe will drop.So, let's dive in and see what the recent news means for Apple.A Troubled IndustryThe PC market faces considerable macro headwinds. Research firm Gartner recently published a piece on the global state of the industry, and the picture it painted was grim indeed.The PC market, it seems, is the latest market to be caught in the jaws of multiple negative forces--consumers overbought PCs at the height of the pandemic when they were locked inside with nothing to do, thus pulling sales into the future. Further, as recession fears grow, consumers and enterprise customers are scaling back the pace at which they are replacing older machines. Extending the life of computing hardware is a great way to avoid large cash outlays for companies.Thus, the industry seems caught in a bit of a perfect storm: people that would have bought today bought yesterday, and people who need to buy today are delaying purchases until tomorrow.Against this backdrop, let's consider Apple's positioning within the market. Gartner estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2022, Apple controlled a respectable 17% of the U.S. market, giving it the third place behind HP and Dell, which held 23% and 26% of the market, respectively.Next, consider Apple's spot as the premium-price provider in the space. A mid-range Mac will cost you a little more than $1,000, while a comparable PC is likely to cost around $600 (and yes, we know that the rabbit hole on \"comparable\" PCs can get quite deep--we are assuming an average user with average needs and very little required in the way of specialization in this scenario).Lastly, it's fairly well-known that Apple's PC products have a longer life expectancy than machines from other manufacturers (another potential rabbit hole here, but again we are considering an average amount of use).Considering all of this, it's not surprising that Apple's expected PC sales should fall a bit more dramatically than its peers. In tough times, consumers cut costs, and it makes all the sense in the world to prefer a $600 option over a $1,000 option if that is what can truly be afforded.In this scenario, Apple's longevity also acts as a double-edged sword, in that one of the products greatest benefits (its lifespan) is creating a drag on sales.So, then, we must ask ourselves--is this the proverbial shoe that jittery investors have been waiting on to drop?Revenue SegmentationIn short, we don't think so.Here's a look at Apple's revenue mix for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 (figures in millions).Company FilingsBy revenue segment, Mac's brought up the rear with only (only!) $7.7 billion in sales, down from $10.8 billion the year prior. Mac sales, then, represented slightly less than 7% of overall sales for Apple during the holiday season.Let's also consider the nature of the headlines, namely that Apple is expected to have lower PC sales year-over-year by 40%. So, for an apples-to-apples (no pun intended) comparison, let's consider Apple's Q2 2022 sales.In the quarter ending March 2022, Apple sold $10.4 billion in its Mac segment. A 40% drop from that level implies Mac segment revenue of $6.24 billion for the quarter ending march 2023.Levers to PullApple, of course, is like any other company--it doesn't want to see a loss of market share in any category, and investors should not expect that management will go quietly into the night without fighting back.To this end, DigitalTrends reported that Apple had begun discounting prices on a handful of its Mac products. This is most likely an effort to juice demand of these products and, secondly, to avoid any painful build-up of idle inventory.Discounts, of course, are only one option. Another is for the company to expand the terms it already offers Mac purchasers who want to pay over time for their Macs. Apple currently offers payments in 12 monthly installments for its Mac products, and a simple way to drop the payments for price-sensitive buyers would be to extend payments by a few months until demand normalizes.The Bottom LineTo be sure, any expectation of a 40% drop in segment sales is alarming. However, we feel that Apple Inc. is uniquely positioned to withstand PC market softness compared with its more pure-play PC peers, given that its PC segment accounts for less than 10% of overall sales.We also wrote in early March about what we consider to be Apple's exceptionalism among its peers (you can read that article here), and we believe that that thesis remains intact today.We also remind investors to consider their time horizon, especially in troubling times like these. Investors with a shorter-term focus may indeed analyze Apple Inc. and find it to be a tad too expensive. We, however, have a long-term focus and are of the opinion that dips in Apple Inc. stock today are good buying opportunities that will yield dividends in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9942900148,"gmtCreate":1681093502984,"gmtModify":1681093506109,"author":{"id":"3581908317501470","authorId":"3581908317501470","name":"Wilson29","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2cd80d04a53f5e69b345c5f352290c1","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581908317501470","authorIdStr":"3581908317501470"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Letsssss goooooiio!!!","listText":"Letsssss goooooiio!!!","text":"Letsssss goooooiio!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9942900148","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":57,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946440848,"gmtCreate":1681036027585,"gmtModify":1681036031074,"author":{"id":"3581908317501470","authorId":"3581908317501470","name":"Wilson29","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2cd80d04a53f5e69b345c5f352290c1","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581908317501470","authorIdStr":"3581908317501470"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Happy Easter Everyone!

The stock has disappointed investors thus far, sitting about 20% below the $10 mark that shares began trading at.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s business performance has been a mixed bag over the past couple of years. While the company has grown a lot since going public, it is also seemingly falling short on some promises made just a year ago.</p><p>Whether the stock is worth buying today depends on how patient you&#39;re willing to be. Here is what you need to know.</p><h2>Palantir is not following through on promised growth</h2><p>Management set high expectations in early 2022, declaring that revenue would grow by at least 30% in 2022 and the following three years. Palantir&#39;s enthusiasm was understandable: It grew revenue by 41% year over year in 2021, and there are many growth opportunities in front of it. After all, data has become integral to everything from running a company to securing the U.S. against threats.</p><p>Palantir builds customized software solutions on its two platforms: Gotham for government clients and Foundry for commercial customers. The software helps identify trends, aid decision-making, and string together data from various sources. That can translate to spotting fraud, maximizing military forces, or optimizing a company&#39;s supply chain in the real world.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7c7c7ee4c78fcefb68605a2df241f6c1\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>PLTR revenue growth estimate for current fiscal year data by YCharts. YoY = year over year.</p><p>But revenue growth has slowed since early 2022, and Palantir grew sales by just 24% year over year in 2022. Missing your benchmark months after making lofty promises isn&#39;t a good look. Analysts have lowered their expectations, and consensus revenue-growth estimates for this year are in the mid-teens, falling short of Palantir&#39;s original promise.</p><h2>Are Palantir&#39;s growth days over?</h2><p>Investing would be easy if every company&#39;s path was a smooth upward trajectory and all that shareholders had to do was hold and sleep well at night. Unfortunately, that&#39;s often not the reality, so what&#39;s Palantir&#39;s deal?</p><p>Investors can probably point to an economy that has deteriorated throughout 2022. Companies have guided for slower growth across Wall Street, and Palantir has some things working against it.</p><p>Often comparing its product to an operating system, Palantir isn&#39;t a simple off-the-shelf offering. It&#39;s mission-critical software that works its way into a company&#39;s or organization&#39;s DNA. That creates a long, multistep sales process, and the company has just 260 commercial customers despite launching Foundry more than a decade ago.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s highly specialized services also mean they don&#39;t come cheap. Enterprises can buy access to Foundry through <b>Amazon</b>&#39;s AWS marketplace for $1 million monthly. That alone eliminates a lot of potential customers, and big corporations are currently tightening their belts, laying off thousands of workers. Even if Palantir&#39;s product is fantastic, it&#39;s harder to justify that spending right now.</p><h2>Should investors buy shares today?</h2><p>The good news is that Palantir recently crossed a crucial threshold when it generated profits on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the fourth quarter.</p><p>Investors sometimes emphasize profitability over revenue growth in a shaky market, which could bode well for Palantir. Management didn&#39;t provide GAAP guidance for 2023.

The stock has disappointed investors thus far, sitting about 20% below the $10 mark that shares began trading at.Palantir's business performance has been a mixed bag over the past couple of years. While the company has grown a lot since going public, it is also seemingly falling short on some promises made just a year ago.Whether the stock is worth buying today depends on how patient you're willing to be. Here is what you need to know.Palantir is not following through on promised growthManagement set high expectations in early 2022, declaring that revenue would grow by at least 30% in 2022 and the following three years. Palantir's enthusiasm was understandable: It grew revenue by 41% year over year in 2021, and there are many growth opportunities in front of it. After all, data has become integral to everything from running a company to securing the U.S. against threats.Palantir builds customized software solutions on its two platforms: Gotham for government clients and Foundry for commercial customers. The software helps identify trends, aid decision-making, and string together data from various sources. That can translate to spotting fraud, maximizing military forces, or optimizing a company's supply chain in the real world.PLTR revenue growth estimate for current fiscal year data by YCharts. YoY = year over year.But revenue growth has slowed since early 2022, and Palantir grew sales by just 24% year over year in 2022. Missing your benchmark months after making lofty promises isn't a good look. Analysts have lowered their expectations, and consensus revenue-growth estimates for this year are in the mid-teens, falling short of Palantir's original promise.Are Palantir's growth days over?Investing would be easy if every company's path was a smooth upward trajectory and all that shareholders had to do was hold and sleep well at night. Unfortunately, that's often not the reality, so what's Palantir's deal?Investors can probably point to an economy that has deteriorated throughout 2022. Companies have guided for slower growth across Wall Street, and Palantir has some things working against it.Often comparing its product to an operating system, Palantir isn't a simple off-the-shelf offering. It's mission-critical software that works its way into a company's or organization's DNA. That creates a long, multistep sales process, and the company has just 260 commercial customers despite launching Foundry more than a decade ago.Palantir's highly specialized services also mean they don't come cheap. Enterprises can buy access to Foundry through Amazon's AWS marketplace for $1 million monthly. That alone eliminates a lot of potential customers, and big corporations are currently tightening their belts, laying off thousands of workers. Even if Palantir's product is fantastic, it's harder to justify that spending right now.Should investors buy shares today?The good news is that Palantir recently crossed a crucial threshold when it generated profits on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the fourth quarter.Investors sometimes emphasize profitability over revenue growth in a shaky market, which could bode well for Palantir. Management didn't provide GAAP guidance for 2023. However, analysts expect earnings per share (EPS) of around $0.20, valuing shares at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 40.PLTR PE ratio (forward) data by YCharts.Earnings growth could drive long-term returns as future revenue growth outpaces Palantir's expenses. Analysts believe EPS could average 54% annual growth over the next three to five years. In other words, Palantir could quickly grow into a valuation that might seem expensive today but might not be in the future.Sure, Palantir's revenue growth needs improvement, but given the challenging environment facing companies today (especially in tech), investors have plenty to build a solid investment thesis around.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":130,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943607492,"gmtCreate":1679388145016,"gmtModify":1679388783336,"author":{"id":"3581908317501470","authorId":"3581908317501470","name":"Wilson29","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2cd80d04a53f5e69b345c5f352290c1","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581908317501470","authorIdStr":"3581908317501470"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Dive more, I buy more!

The thing is, the tech g","content":"<p>Apple has its work cut out for it trying to surpass 2020’s blowout results. The thing is, the tech giant just might be able to pull it off.</p>\n<p>The buzz around Apple last year was off the charts, even for what is the buzziest of technology companies. Anticipation of the fall launch of the company’s first 5G phones, surging demand for both Macs and iPads as the pandemic rolled on, and strength in both wearables and services fed off each other. The pieces all came together in the December quarter, when Apple (ticker: AAPL) posted&nbsp;its biggest quarter ever. Sales soared 21% to $111.4 billion, more than $8 billion over the Street consensus. Every product category—iPhone, iPad, Macs, wearables, and services—notched double-digit growth. Apple stock finished the year up 81%, adding nearly $1 trillion to its market cap.</p>\n<p>That’s a tough act to follow, particularly with the March quarter, which always slows from the holiday-boosted December quarter. But Apple could pull off the quintuple double again when its results come out after the bell Wednesday. The Street certainly thinks so, even if the market, which has pushed Apple shares up less than 2% in 2021, has been more cautious. Consensus estimates call for double-digit increases from last year across the board: iPhones sales up 43%, to $41.4 billion; iPad sales up 29%, to $5.6 billion; Mac sales of $6.8 billion, up 27%; wearables sales (mostly Apple Watch and AirPods) of $7.4 billion, up 18%; and a 16% bump in services, to $15.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Overall, the Street consensus expects sales of $77 billion, up 32% from a year ago, with profits of 98 cents a share. That would be the fastest top-line growth rate for any Apple quarter since March 2012, when revenues were about half what they are now. And most bullish Apple analysts seem to think their own estimates are too low—a print at $77 billion would likely trigger a selloff in the stock.</p>\n<p>Apple is also&nbsp;expected to provide an update on its capital-allocation strategy. A year ago,the company announced a 6% dividend increase, and boosted its stock repurchase plan by $50 billion.

The thing is, the tech giant just might be able to pull it off.\nThe buzz around Apple last year was off the charts, even for what is the buzziest of technology companies. Anticipation of the fall launch of the company’s first 5G phones, surging demand for both Macs and iPads as the pandemic rolled on, and strength in both wearables and services fed off each other. The pieces all came together in the December quarter, when Apple (ticker: AAPL) posted its biggest quarter ever. Sales soared 21% to $111.4 billion, more than $8 billion over the Street consensus. Every product category—iPhone, iPad, Macs, wearables, and services—notched double-digit growth. Apple stock finished the year up 81%, adding nearly $1 trillion to its market cap.\nThat’s a tough act to follow, particularly with the March quarter, which always slows from the holiday-boosted December quarter. But Apple could pull off the quintuple double again when its results come out after the bell Wednesday. The Street certainly thinks so, even if the market, which has pushed Apple shares up less than 2% in 2021, has been more cautious. Consensus estimates call for double-digit increases from last year across the board: iPhones sales up 43%, to $41.4 billion; iPad sales up 29%, to $5.6 billion; Mac sales of $6.8 billion, up 27%; wearables sales (mostly Apple Watch and AirPods) of $7.4 billion, up 18%; and a 16% bump in services, to $15.5 billion.\nOverall, the Street consensus expects sales of $77 billion, up 32% from a year ago, with profits of 98 cents a share. That would be the fastest top-line growth rate for any Apple quarter since March 2012, when revenues were about half what they are now. And most bullish Apple analysts seem to think their own estimates are too low—a print at $77 billion would likely trigger a selloff in the stock.\nApple is also expected to provide an update on its capital-allocation strategy. A year ago,the company announced a 6% dividend increase, and boosted its stock repurchase plan by $50 billion. Apple has said repeatedly that it is pushing to get to a cash neutral position, but its remarkably big cash flow has slowed progress toward that goal.\nAs always, the quarter is about more than just earnings.\nFor one, the Street will be looking for signs that the sales surge for Macs and iPads is sustainable—and that the company is keeping up with demand despite widespread chip and display shortages. Some investors worry that the spike in PC demand could ebb as more people return to schools and offices. They’ll be looking for company guidance on that point.\nAnother is the sustainability of the resurgence in iPhone growth. There were high hopes among bulls that the iPhone 12 would drive a “supercycle” with an accelerated replacement cycle. Several analysts have noted that a clear consumer preference for the high end of the iPhone 12 line is driving up average selling prices, which should support a strong revenue quarter for the segment.\n“Given the later-than-seasonal launch of new iPhones in the fall of 2020, we believe iPhone demand will experience more favorable year-over-year comparisons this March quarter compared to past years,” writes Monness Crespi Hardt’s Brian White, who sees 47% iPhone revenue growth during the quarter.\nAnd if Apple pulls it all together?

So, when it was announced that <strong>Apple Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:AAPL) personal computing [PC] business shipments are likely to have dropped by 40% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2023, investors can&#39;t help but take notice. What made the drop worse is the fact that the expected drop outpaces declines at other PC makers, like HP Inc. (HPQ) and Dell Technologies Inc. (DELL).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sentiment around Apple seems to feel, well, a bit jittery among investors. The stock has been such a stalwart for so long, and its performance and valuations have held up so well (relatively speaking) even through the 2022 &#34;tech-wreck,&#34; however, that perhaps it is natural for investors to wonder if (or when) the other shoe will drop.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, let&#39;s dive in and see what the recent news means for Apple.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">A Troubled Industry</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The PC market faces considerable macro headwinds. Research firm Gartner recently published a piece on the global state of the industry, and the picture it painted was grim indeed.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The PC market, it seems, is the latest market to be caught in the jaws of multiple negative forces--consumers overbought PCs at the height of the pandemic when they were locked inside with nothing to do, thus pulling sales into the future. Further, as recession fears grow, consumers and enterprise customers are scaling back the pace at which they are replacing older machines. Extending the life of computing hardware is a great way to avoid large cash outlays for companies.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thus, the industry seems caught in a bit of a perfect storm: people that would have bought today bought yesterday, and people who need to buy today are delaying purchases until tomorrow.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Against this backdrop, let&#39;s consider Apple&#39;s positioning within the market. Gartner estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2022, Apple controlled a respectable 17% of the U.S. market, giving it the third place behind HP and Dell, which held 23% and 26% of the market, respectively.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Next, consider Apple&#39;s spot as the premium-price provider in the space. A mid-range Mac will cost you a little more than $1,000, while a comparable PC is likely to cost around $600 (and yes, we know that the rabbit hole on &#34;comparable&#34; PCs can get quite deep--we are assuming an average user with average needs and very little required in the way of specialization in this scenario).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lastly, it&#39;s fairly well-known that Apple&#39;s PC products have a longer life expectancy than machines from other manufacturers (another potential rabbit hole here, but again we are considering an average amount of use).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Considering all of this, it&#39;s not surprising that Apple&#39;s expected PC sales should fall a bit more dramatically than its peers. In tough times, consumers cut costs, and it makes all the sense in the world to prefer a $600 option over a $1,000 option if that is what can truly be afforded.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In this scenario, Apple&#39;s longevity also acts as a double-edged sword, in that one of the products greatest benefits (its lifespan) is creating a drag on sales.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, then, we must ask ourselves--is this the proverbial shoe that jittery investors have been waiting on to drop?</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Revenue Segmentation</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In short, we don&#39;t think so.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here&#39;s a look at Apple&#39;s revenue mix for the quarter ending December 31, 2022 (figures in millions).</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df864895acea4ba9e25e205739cb705a\" alt=\"Company Filings\" title=\"Company Filings\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"144\"/><span>Company Filings</span></p>By revenue segment, Mac&#39;s brought up the rear with only (only!) $7.7 billion in sales, down from $10.8 billion the year prior.

The thing is, the tech g","content":"<p>Apple has its work cut out for it trying to surpass 2020’s blowout results. The thing is, the tech giant just might be able to pull it off.</p>\n<p>The buzz around Apple last year was off the charts, even for what is the buzziest of technology companies. Anticipation of the fall launch of the company’s first 5G phones, surging demand for both Macs and iPads as the pandemic rolled on, and strength in both wearables and services fed off each other. The pieces all came together in the December quarter, when Apple (ticker: AAPL) posted&nbsp;its biggest quarter ever. Sales soared 21% to $111.4 billion, more than $8 billion over the Street consensus. Every product category—iPhone, iPad, Macs, wearables, and services—notched double-digit growth. Apple stock finished the year up 81%, adding nearly $1 trillion to its market cap.</p>\n<p>That’s a tough act to follow, particularly with the March quarter, which always slows from the holiday-boosted December quarter. But Apple could pull off the quintuple double again when its results come out after the bell Wednesday. The Street certainly thinks so, even if the market, which has pushed Apple shares up less than 2% in 2021, has been more cautious. Consensus estimates call for double-digit increases from last year across the board: iPhones sales up 43%, to $41.4 billion; iPad sales up 29%, to $5.6 billion; Mac sales of $6.8 billion, up 27%; wearables sales (mostly Apple Watch and AirPods) of $7.4 billion, up 18%; and a 16% bump in services, to $15.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Overall, the Street consensus expects sales of $77 billion, up 32% from a year ago, with profits of 98 cents a share. That would be the fastest top-line growth rate for any Apple quarter since March 2012, when revenues were about half what they are now. And most bullish Apple analysts seem to think their own estimates are too low—a print at $77 billion would likely trigger a selloff in the stock.</p>\n<p>Apple is also&nbsp;expected to provide an update on its capital-allocation strategy. A year ago,the company announced a 6% dividend increase, and boosted its stock repurchase plan by $50 billion. Apple has said repeatedly that it is pushing to get to a cash neutral position, but its remarkably big cash flow has slowed progress toward that goal.</p>\n<p>As always, the quarter is about more than just earnings.</p>\n<p>For one, the Street will be looking for signs that the sales surge for Macs and iPads is sustainable—and that the company is keeping up with demand despite widespread chip and display shortages. Some investors worry that the spike in PC demand could ebb as more people return to schools and offices. They’ll be looking for company guidance on that point.</p>\n<p>Another is the sustainability of the resurgence in iPhone growth. There were high hopes among bulls that the iPhone 12 would drive a “supercycle” with an accelerated replacement cycle. Several analysts have noted that a clear consumer preference for the high end of the iPhone 12 line is driving up average selling prices, which should support a strong revenue quarter for the segment.</p>\n<p>“Given the later-than-seasonal launch of new iPhones in the fall of 2020, we believe iPhone demand will experience more favorable year-over-year comparisons this March quarter compared to past years,” writes Monness Crespi Hardt’s Brian White, who sees 47% iPhone revenue growth during the quarter.</p>\n<p>And if Apple pulls it all together? Apple could crush Street estimates, writes Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, who has an Overweight rating and a $158 price target on the stock, up 17% from Monday’s close of $134.72. She sees the top line above $80 billion, with all segments growing at least 19% year over year. She is especially bullish on Mac and iPad sales, with estimates far above consensus—53% for Macs and 52% for iPads.

The thing is, the tech giant just might be able to pull it off.\nThe buzz around Apple last year was off the charts, even for what is the buzziest of technology companies. Anticipation of the fall launch of the company’s first 5G phones, surging demand for both Macs and iPads as the pandemic rolled on, and strength in both wearables and services fed off each other. The pieces all came together in the December quarter, when Apple (ticker: AAPL) posted its biggest quarter ever. Sales soared 21% to $111.4 billion, more than $8 billion over the Street consensus. Every product category—iPhone, iPad, Macs, wearables, and services—notched double-digit growth. Apple stock finished the year up 81%, adding nearly $1 trillion to its market cap.\nThat’s a tough act to follow, particularly with the March quarter, which always slows from the holiday-boosted December quarter. But Apple could pull off the quintuple double again when its results come out after the bell Wednesday. The Street certainly thinks so, even if the market, which has pushed Apple shares up less than 2% in 2021, has been more cautious. Consensus estimates call for double-digit increases from last year across the board: iPhones sales up 43%, to $41.4 billion; iPad sales up 29%, to $5.6 billion; Mac sales of $6.8 billion, up 27%; wearables sales (mostly Apple Watch and AirPods) of $7.4 billion, up 18%; and a 16% bump in services, to $15.5 billion.\nOverall, the Street consensus expects sales of $77 billion, up 32% from a year ago, with profits of 98 cents a share. That would be the fastest top-line growth rate for any Apple quarter since March 2012, when revenues were about half what they are now. And most bullish Apple analysts seem to think their own estimates are too low—a print at $77 billion would likely trigger a selloff in the stock.\nApple is also expected to provide an update on its capital-allocation strategy. A year ago,the company announced a 6% dividend increase, and boosted its stock repurchase plan by $50 billion. Apple has said repeatedly that it is pushing to get to a cash neutral position, but its remarkably big cash flow has slowed progress toward that goal.\nAs always, the quarter is about more than just earnings.\nFor one, the Street will be looking for signs that the sales surge for Macs and iPads is sustainable—and that the company is keeping up with demand despite widespread chip and display shortages. Some investors worry that the spike in PC demand could ebb as more people return to schools and offices. They’ll be looking for company guidance on that point.\nAnother is the sustainability of the resurgence in iPhone growth. There were high hopes among bulls that the iPhone 12 would drive a “supercycle” with an accelerated replacement cycle. Several analysts have noted that a clear consumer preference for the high end of the iPhone 12 line is driving up average selling prices, which should support a strong revenue quarter for the segment.\n“Given the later-than-seasonal launch of new iPhones in the fall of 2020, we believe iPhone demand will experience more favorable year-over-year comparisons this March quarter compared to past years,” writes Monness Crespi Hardt’s Brian White, who sees 47% iPhone revenue growth during the quarter.\nAnd if Apple pulls it all together? Apple could crush Street estimates, writes Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, who has an Overweight rating and a $158 price target on the stock, up 17% from Monday’s close of $134.72. She sees the top line above $80 billion, with all segments growing at least 19% year over year. She is especially bullish on Mac and iPad sales, with estimates far above consensus—53% for Macs and 52% for iPads. She also expects Apple to increase its dividend by 10% and expand its stock repurchase program by $60 billion.\nThat would certainly qualify as a job well done.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":47,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944608773,"gmtCreate":1681812442592,"gmtModify":1681812446623,"author":{"id":"3581908317501470","authorId":"3581908317501470","name":"Wilson29","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2cd80d04a53f5e69b345c5f352290c1","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581908317501470","authorIdStr":"3581908317501470"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"2 more days to end of game.

Tough economic conditions have slowed down companies&#39; growth rates over the last 18 months, which means they&#39;ve had to carefully manage costs. That, unfortunately, has led to mass layoffs across the industry.</p><p>According to Layoffs.fyi, the tech sector slashed 161,411 jobs in 2022. But 2023 could be even worse, because over 139,000 tech workers have been laid off already -- and it&#39;s only March.</p><p>E-commerce giant <b>Amazon</b> is among the organizations slimming down, after growing its workforce from 798,000 at the end of 2019 to 1.54 million by the end of 2022. It announced it would eliminate 18,000 jobs in January, and today, it revealed a further 9,000 cuts.</p><p>While the latest round of cuts seems like a small number compared to the size of its overall workforce, it&#39;s <i>where </i>Amazon has made these cuts that might be concerning to investors.</p><h2>On the chopping block: Amazon Web Services and advertising</h2><p>This round of layoffs will be concentrated across four of Amazon&#39;s departments: Amazon Web Services (AWS), advertising, PXT Solutions (People Experience and Technology Solutions), and Twitch. The first two are perhaps the most surprising, because they&#39;ve recently been the primary drivers of growth for the entire company.</p><p>AWS is Amazon&#39;s industry-leading cloud services segment. It helps its business customers with their digital transformations by offering hundreds of solutions, from simple data storage to advanced machine learning applications. It&#39;s also Amazon&#39;s main source of operating profit.</p><p>But its revenue grew by just 20% in the fourth quarter of 2022, which was not only a slower rate than both its key rivals <b>Microsoft</b> Azure and <b>Alphabet</b>&#39;s Google Cloud, but it was also half the growth rate it achieved in the year-ago period. The job cuts at AWS suggest perhaps the company is preparing for even slower growth in upcoming quarters, so it&#39;s managing costs to maintain profitability.</p><p>On the advertising front, that segment has continued to show steady growth with a 23% revenue increase in the fourth quarter, even in the face of this tough economy.

Tough economic conditions have slowed down companies' growth rates over the last 18 months, which means they've had to carefully manage costs. That, unfortunately, has led to mass layoffs across the industry.According to Layoffs.fyi, the tech sector slashed 161,411 jobs in 2022. But 2023 could be even worse, because over 139,000 tech workers have been laid off already -- and it's only March.E-commerce giant Amazon is among the organizations slimming down, after growing its workforce from 798,000 at the end of 2019 to 1.54 million by the end of 2022. It announced it would eliminate 18,000 jobs in January, and today, it revealed a further 9,000 cuts.While the latest round of cuts seems like a small number compared to the size of its overall workforce, it's where Amazon has made these cuts that might be concerning to investors.On the chopping block: Amazon Web Services and advertisingThis round of layoffs will be concentrated across four of Amazon's departments: Amazon Web Services (AWS), advertising, PXT Solutions (People Experience and Technology Solutions), and Twitch. The first two are perhaps the most surprising, because they've recently been the primary drivers of growth for the entire company.AWS is Amazon's industry-leading cloud services segment. It helps its business customers with their digital transformations by offering hundreds of solutions, from simple data storage to advanced machine learning applications. It's also Amazon's main source of operating profit.But its revenue grew by just 20% in the fourth quarter of 2022, which was not only a slower rate than both its key rivals Microsoft Azure and Alphabet's Google Cloud, but it was also half the growth rate it achieved in the year-ago period. The job cuts at AWS suggest perhaps the company is preparing for even slower growth in upcoming quarters, so it's managing costs to maintain profitability.On the advertising front, that segment has continued to show steady growth with a 23% revenue increase in the fourth quarter, even in the face of this tough economy. It's possible that job cuts in this department are targeted toward experimental projects or those that aren't expanding as quickly overall.In any case, advertising remains one of the more promising segments of Amazon's business. The flagship Amazon.com website attracts 2.2 billion visits a month, so it's an ideal place for merchants to market their products.Plus, the company has a growing portfolio of media assets that could attract an increasing amount of advertising dollars. Streaming is one major opportunity, especially since Amazon continues to accumulate the rights to live sports -- from the NFL in the U.S. to major soccer leagues across Europe.What the job cuts mean for Amazon stockAmazon CEO Andy Jassy said the recent layoffs were part of a plan to make the company leaner, while still being able to invest in the areas of its business that will improve customers' lives, as well as Amazon as a whole.Put simply, in this economic environment, any move that will make Amazon more profitable will likely be well received by investors, especially after the company delivered its first annual net loss since 2014 last year (although under extenuating circumstances).
