That means the Fed could push the button and move rates higher,&#34; Dollarhide said.</p><p>Microsoft Corp fell 1.6% and Nvidia dipped 2.8%, both weighing on the S&amp;P 500 as the yield on 10-year Treasury notes hit a three-month high.</p><p>The CBOE Volatility index, also known as Wall Street&#39;s fear gauge, traded above 20 points for a second session in a row.</p><p>Of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector indexes, six rose, led by consumer staples, up 1.29%, followed by a 1% gain in Utilities. Energy dropped 3.65%, with Exxon Mobil losing 3.8%.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 declined 0.28% to end the session at 4,079.09 points. The Nasdaq fell 0.58% to 11,787.27 points, while Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.39% to 33,826.69 points.</p><p>For the week, the S&amp;P 500 fell 0.3%, the Dow lost 0.1% and the Nasdaq climbed 0.6%.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 has gained about 6% so far in 2023, while the Nasdaq has rebounded about 13% following deep losses last year.</p><p>Adding to recent worries about monetary policy, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said the central bank will need to keep raising interest rates until it makes much more progress tackling inflation. Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said the central bank still needs to raise interest rates, but that it could stick with quarter-point increases.</p><p>Moderna Inc fell 3.3% after its experimental messenger RNA-based influenza vaccine delivered mixed results in a study.</p><p>Deere &amp; Co surged 7.5% after the world&#39;s largest farm equipment maker raised its annual profit and beat quarterly earnings expectations.</p><p>Lithium miners Livent Corp, Albemarle Corp and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLL.AU\">Piedmont Lithium</a> Inc slumped between 10% and 12% due to concerns about weakness in Chinese prices for the EV battery metal.</p><p>The most traded company in the S&amp;P 500 was Tesla Inc, with $42.9 billion worth of shares exchanged during the session. The shares rose 3.10%.</p><p>U.S. stock markets will be closed on Monday on account of Presidents&#39; Day.</p><p>Advancing issues outnumbered falling ones within the S&amp;P 500 by a 1.1-to-one ratio.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 posted eight new highs and one new low; the Nasdaq recorded 75 new highs and 68 new lows.</p><p>Volume on U.S. exchanges was relatively light, with 10.6 billion shares traded, compared with an average of 11.7 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.</p></body></html>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That means the Fed could push the button and move rates higher,\" Dollarhide said.Microsoft Corp fell 1.6% and Nvidia dipped 2.8%, both weighing on the S&P 500 as the yield on 10-year Treasury notes hit a three-month high.The CBOE Volatility index, also known as Wall Street's fear gauge, traded above 20 points for a second session in a row.Of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes, six rose, led by consumer staples, up 1.29%, followed by a 1% gain in Utilities. Energy dropped 3.65%, with Exxon Mobil losing 3.8%.The S&P 500 declined 0.28% to end the session at 4,079.09 points. The Nasdaq fell 0.58% to 11,787.27 points, while Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.39% to 33,826.69 points.For the week, the S&P 500 fell 0.3%, the Dow lost 0.1% and the Nasdaq climbed 0.6%.The S&P 500 has gained about 6% so far in 2023, while the Nasdaq has rebounded about 13% following deep losses last year.Adding to recent worries about monetary policy, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said the central bank will need to keep raising interest rates until it makes much more progress tackling inflation. Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said the central bank still needs to raise interest rates, but that it could stick with quarter-point increases.Moderna Inc fell 3.3% after its experimental messenger RNA-based influenza vaccine delivered mixed results in a study.Deere & Co surged 7.5% after the world's largest farm equipment maker raised its annual profit and beat quarterly earnings expectations.Lithium miners Livent Corp, Albemarle Corp and Piedmont Lithium Inc slumped between 10% and 12% due to concerns about weakness in Chinese prices for the EV battery metal.The most traded company in the S&P 500 was Tesla Inc, with $42.9 billion worth of shares exchanged during the session. The shares rose 3.10%.U.S. stock markets will be closed on Monday on account of Presidents' Day.Advancing issues outnumbered falling ones within the S&P 500 by a 1.1-to-one ratio.The S&P 500 posted eight new highs and one new low; the Nasdaq recorded 75 new highs and 68 new lows.Volume on U.S. exchanges was relatively light, with 10.6 billion shares traded, compared with an average of 11.7 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":569,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954489594,"gmtCreate":1676546162019,"gmtModify":1676546166383,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954489594","repostId":"2311464379","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2311464379","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1676540726,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2311464379?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-16 17:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba: Following Michael Burry","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2311464379","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"AlexSava/iStock via Getty ImagesMichael Burry's fund Scion Capital has just released its 13F filing,","content":"<html><head></head><body><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2ca9a71c238ee6502ab070f9b40f1a4\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AlexSava/iStock via Getty Images</p><p></p><p>Michael Burry&#39;s fund Scion Capital has just released its 13F filing, showing that the renowned fund, which became notorious for shorting the housing market in 2008, has taken a decent position in Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).</p><p>We discuss why we strongly believe Alibaba stock to be a &#39;buy&#39;, the reasoning behind why Michael Burry presumably bought his 50,000 shares in the stock, along with our own valuation model and some unique macroeconomic insights.</p><h2>As For Me, I Like Hong Kong</h2><p>Michael Burry alluded to his interest in Chinese stocks not too long ago, in a series of a few tweets. One of those tweets simply said without context:</p><blockquote>As for me, I like Hong Kong. (12/04/2022, Twitter)</blockquote><p>More importantly, he shared a statement earlier in October when the Hang Seng was heading for new lows around the 15,000 price level, the same levels at which the Hang Seng also traded in 1997. He had the following to say:</p><blockquote>Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Hang Seng recently hit 1997 levels. 25 years. Yet GDP multiplied 18 times during that time. 1997 valuations were 20x Earnings, 10x EV/Sales, 3x Tangible book. Now 7/1/1. Note, 3 of the last 4 Premiers served 3 terms. (10/25/2022, Twitter)</blockquote><p>He also shared the chart below, which clearly shows that the index has not changed much over the past 25 years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/2/14/52756760-1676423859498847.jpg\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"425\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Bloomberg Terminal (Michael Burry)</p><p></p><p>To give some context: Chinese stocks seem dirt cheap. Data on Chinese indices are quite scarce, but the data that can be viewed seem to indicate that China is in a bottoming out process at current price levels.</p><p>If we look at the Hang Seng Index, as Michael Burry also pointed out, it typically trades at a P/E ratio of about 14x. And with 1 standard deviation down, it comes down to a valuation of 10x P/E. At the 7x P/E ratio he pointed out, when the index was trading around 15,000, it was trading more than 1 standard deviation below trend. That&#39;s similar to where it was trading during its lows in 1999 and 2009.</p><p>The lowest valuation we could find in modern history was a P/E ratio of 6.1x in the early 1980s. Currently, the Hang Seng is trading around a P/E ratio of 8.46 or a CAPE ratio of 9.59x (TTM).</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/05eae8b1e28726fbf7e3eca97efe8779\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"366\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Bloomberg &amp; iFAST</p><p></p><p>Which also ties in perfectly with a tweet he made earlier:</p><blockquote>China&#39;s markets are having an &#34;America in early 2009&#34; moment. Fear and uncertainty are peaking or close to it But China is too important to America, 20X Russia. America cannot effectively fight or sanction China without spiting itself nearly as severely. Just ask @KingJames (09/21/2022, Twitter)</blockquote><p>That last statement may have been directed toward LeBron James and his attitude in the past. So from a historical and relative valuation perspective, it could well be that the bottom has already been reached for China.</p><p>If we overlay the indices of the largest markets, presumably the U.S., China and Europe, they have traded relatively evenly in the past. That was mostly until about 2013, when the Hang Seng was consistently cheaper than Europe and the US. We think there is a good chance that this widening divergence will eventually reverse.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f54bcc4dccacf6a5e6f87a7135e7f48f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p></p><p>As for when Michael Burry bought his shares, the report reflects the shares he owned at the end of the fourth quarter. We can&#39;t know exactly what price Dr. Burry paid, but we do know that it was in the range of $63.15 and $94.17.</p><p>For simplicity, we take $78.87 because that was the average price range where Alibaba shares traded in Q4 2022.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62306af0dc157b7bd7c55261cfffbc97\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><p>Just before Michael Burry started his Hedge Fund, he explained his investment strategy and applied it to case studies. In fact, Michael Burry uses Technical Analysis, but mainly for risk management and nothing too crazy.</p><p>He stated this on Technical Analysis:</p><blockquote>Nothing fancy. But I prefer to buy within 10% to 15% of a 52-week low that has shown itself to offer some price support. That&#39;s the contrarian part of me.</blockquote><p>This is where it fits perfectly with Alibaba, as it went right back to where it was in 2015/2016, bouncing perfectly off its support around $58. We think there is a chance that Dr. Burry actually bought his shares below $66, or 15% above trend, although it is mostly speculation on our side.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f0ae04c0bcbff77d4cd3cf31517c133\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><p>Still, we think the stock becomes a strong buy when it gets into this $66 trading range. This is for valuation reasons we will explain, and because we can buy the stock and set a stop-loss at $58 in case Alibaba breaks through that support level, and limit losses to just over -12%.</p><h2>Our Valuation Model</h2><p>Alibaba is perhaps one of the most undervalued companies we believe is currently on the market. Paradoxically, for a company that has seen its revenues grow at an average annual rate of 43.3% between 2013 and 2022, it is only trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 13.47x.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74854b62d1d3f1cade9a557946e97153\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><p>And this analogy can be extended across the board. Alibaba has experienced astronomical growth in terms of EBITDA, with an annual growth rate of 33.8%. Free cash flow has also grown tremendously, from $1.93BN in 2013 to $14.19BN in the past 12 months.</p><p>This means that both our measures EV/EBITDA and P/FCF check out. We believe, in this case, that the rewards still far outweigh the risks by trading below 12x FCF or at a relatively normal 17x EV/EBITDA.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a8a15ded653c6fd4af156e1635071eab\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><p>That&#39;s another reason why it would be a great buy if it gets near those all-time lows. It certainly has the same characteristics as the opportunity to buy Amazon (AMZN) in late 2008, when it also bottomed around a 10x EV/EBITDA multiple and a P/FCF multiple of 15. However, we understand that Alibaba could still bottom at lower levels, as the U.S. has always traded at a certain premium to China.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4e2671e8cdb73e7af4d6ea11df5bb69\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><p>For us, Alibaba seems right on both an absolute and relative valuation, based on simple measures. Since we are long-term investors, we will look at how we see Alibaba for the future and where it could be in the next 10 years.</p><p>First, revenue. Alibaba has experienced monstrous growth of more than 43% over the past 10 years, in the same exponential fashion as Amazon. There are many reasons to believe that this growth could continue for quite some time, although we have modeled our forecast more conservatively.</p><p>After all, Amazon has managed to grow its sales by more than 24% over the past decade against all odds, from the same baseline which Alibaba is at right now. We still factored in a lot of headwinds for 2023, close to the Wall Street forecasts, as short-term forecasts tend to be relatively reliable. We also factored in headwinds for EBITDA margins, but expect them to return to healthier levels.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de3bb042e7a9f1df676b23e1f83db58a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author&#39;s Valuation Model</p><p></p><p>A relative measure is that Alibaba will average an EBITDA margin of 33.8% between 2015 and 2020. We expect Alibaba&#39;s cloud, which is still in its infancy at &lt;0.1% of China&#39;s GDP, to be a major driver of this growth, providing huge tailwinds in addition to domestic trade revenues, like has been the case for Amazon over the past decade.</p><p>This is also in line with the expected CAGR of 12.4% that China will experience, according to market research. From a cash flow perspective, we have also modeled headwinds for 2023. We will explain our reasoning for these headwinds and a lower growth rate in the next section of our valuation. Our cash flow estimates are based on a linear growth rate closer to 12%, compared to the CFO&#39;s 33.6% growth rate over the past decade.</p><p>In all of our models, we also consider stock-based compensation to provide a true picture of profitability, as stock-based compensation historically appears to be near 10% of revenue.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5595e07f92a75dff651aea220517b89c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"137\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author&#39;s Valuation Model</p><p></p><p>Capital expenditures were also modeled accordingly and grow linearly with revenues. Our valuation shows an expected EBITDA of $70.66BN and FCFE of $40.74BN by 2032.</p><p>So on an EV/EBITDA basis, taking into account cash and debt, we arrive at a market capitalization of about $1.00T around 2032, or $372.77 per share at a 14x multiple. We chose a lower multiple of 14, compared to the average of 16x, to account for the lower valuations in China relative to the US.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bee84eaeeeb76c8e27809b1ec2c42405\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"124\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author&#39;s Valuation Model</p><p></p><p>On an FCFE basis, as you can see below, we think Alibaba has the potential to generate $15.16 in FCFE/share by 2032. We again chose a fairly high FCFE yield of 6%, taking into account higher interest rates and the China discount rate. We arrive at a price per share of $252.74 on an FCFE basis.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/850dcf6f3da52f81affc926df126aff0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"101\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author&#39;s Valuation Model</p><p></p><p>Finally, if we take both valuations together at a 50% weighting, we get our final estimate of $312.76 per share, or roughly a 200% increase over the current share price.</p><p>In an IRR calculator, that&#39;s a stunning 20.06% IRR over the next 10 years. We can&#39;t find many stocks with a higher IRR, frankly.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3041e260a9c605af137c03a5317e80d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"188\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author&#39;s Valuation Model</p><p></p><p>To us, everything fits: there is a margin of safety on a technical analysis basis and current valuation basis, trading at low multiples. Even if growth were to disappoint, at an EV/EBITDA multiplier of 12x it can be considered an attractive value stock.</p><p>In summary, the downside is relatively limited when looking at fundamentals, while the upside potential is absolutely enormous. As for the downside, there are quite a few risks.</p><h2>The Kitchen Is Heating Up</h2><p>All that growth and opportunity sounds fantastic. So why do we think Alibaba is not yet a &#34;Strong Buy&#34; at current prices. Well, there are still a lot of daunting risk factors to consider.</p><p>And getting back to Michael Burry&#39;s notion that GDP has multiplied 18 times while stocks have not really moved, we want to add some caveats. Because China&#39;s GDP and growth model can be a bit misleading. In this situation, the stock market may be the smartest one in the room, not GDP.</p><p>While China&#39;s GDP has grown astronomically, there are reasons to believe that this rise will not last forever. One such reason is China&#39;s economic model, which can essentially be described as &#34;growth at any cost.&#34; As a result, China&#39;s economy has seemingly become more credit-driven in recent history. This came to light for most people with Evergrande in late 2021, which revealed the unhealthy and unsustainable growth of China&#39;s real estate market.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c1fd4ccb5691fe9c7eb653af1d65e10\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"400\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>PBOC, NBS, WSJ</p><p></p><p>And we have all seen what a credit-driven frenzy can look like, just look at Japan in 1989. Funnily enough, China&#39;s real estate to GDP ratio is about the same as Japan&#39;s in 1989, with a housing to GDP ratio of 3x.</p><p>Currently, China&#39;s debt-to-GDP ratio exceeds the U.S., although it is still smaller than Japan, which takes the crown as the global leader in debt-to-GDP ratio.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991d50b67f73b6f23e381ef74afc1456\" tg-width=\"602\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Deutsche Bank</p><p></p><p>China&#39;s model of GDP growth at all costs, at the expense of wealth, must one day come to a halt. For example, it was recently revealed that China overestimated its population by 100 million and is shrinking for the first time in 60 years, contrary to what was previously believed to be a massively growing nation.</p><p>Certain things such as China&#39;s ever-growing trade surplus over the past 25 years is also a major factor in China&#39;s economic model, although times have changed greatly since then. Will China be able to grow its surplus indefinitely, as it has in the past? We doubt it will.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2737f7ac29dab11ffa229b29b422a9b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"375\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p></p><p>Still, even if certain elements of GDP are overestimated, there is much reason to believe that the Chinese stock market should not be where it was 25 years ago, as most people see that much progress has clearly been made since then.</p><p>There are also reasons to believe that Alibaba will benefit because it is a company the government would rather not be without. It would be about the same as the U.S. trying to shut down Amazon. Too many jobs and too many consumers depend on the company, and it is seen as one of the most valuable assets in the economy. Anyone would have too hard a time getting rid of it.</p><p>And maybe China is uninvestable. But we think Alibaba is one of the few that subverts that rule and still falls into our circle of competence, because of its sheer size, low valuation and its growth prospects. Or maybe, if investors can&#39;t stand the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen.</p><h2>The Bottom Line</h2><p>Although China may face some headwinds today and in the coming year, we think the market is in a bottoming out process and ready to trade above that Hang Seng trend line of 15,000.</p><p>In our opinion, Michael Burry also probably sees China as undervalued, having bought 50,000 shares of Alibaba and some other Chinese companies. Based on EV/EBITDA and P/FCF, it is just too cheap to ignore, and the rewards currently seem to outweigh the risks with an IRR over 20%. If the stock returns to all-time lows, we consider it a strong buy.</p><p>Those near-term headwinds, such as a macroeconomic downturn as we mentioned, or tensions such as recently with Chinese spy balloons ratcheting up tensions, should dissipate at some point in our view. And when that happens, Alibaba is poised to run.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

One of those tweets simply said without context:As for me, I like Hong Kong. (12/04/2022, Twitter)More importantly, he shared a statement earlier in October when the Hang Seng was heading for new lows around the 15,000 price level, the same levels at which the Hang Seng also traded in 1997. He had the following to say:Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Hang Seng recently hit 1997 levels. 25 years. Yet GDP multiplied 18 times during that time. 1997 valuations were 20x Earnings, 10x EV/Sales, 3x Tangible book. Now 7/1/1. Note, 3 of the last 4 Premiers served 3 terms. (10/25/2022, Twitter)He also shared the chart below, which clearly shows that the index has not changed much over the past 25 years.Bloomberg Terminal (Michael Burry)To give some context: Chinese stocks seem dirt cheap. Data on Chinese indices are quite scarce, but the data that can be viewed seem to indicate that China is in a bottoming out process at current price levels.If we look at the Hang Seng Index, as Michael Burry also pointed out, it typically trades at a P/E ratio of about 14x. And with 1 standard deviation down, it comes down to a valuation of 10x P/E. At the 7x P/E ratio he pointed out, when the index was trading around 15,000, it was trading more than 1 standard deviation below trend. That's similar to where it was trading during its lows in 1999 and 2009.The lowest valuation we could find in modern history was a P/E ratio of 6.1x in the early 1980s. Currently, the Hang Seng is trading around a P/E ratio of 8.46 or a CAPE ratio of 9.59x (TTM).Bloomberg & iFASTWhich also ties in perfectly with a tweet he made earlier:China's markets are having an \"America in early 2009\" moment. Fear and uncertainty are peaking or close to it But China is too important to America, 20X Russia. America cannot effectively fight or sanction China without spiting itself nearly as severely. Just ask @KingJames (09/21/2022, Twitter)That last statement may have been directed toward LeBron James and his attitude in the past. So from a historical and relative valuation perspective, it could well be that the bottom has already been reached for China.If we overlay the indices of the largest markets, presumably the U.S., China and Europe, they have traded relatively evenly in the past. That was mostly until about 2013, when the Hang Seng was consistently cheaper than Europe and the US. We think there is a good chance that this widening divergence will eventually reverse.BloombergAs for when Michael Burry bought his shares, the report reflects the shares he owned at the end of the fourth quarter. We can't know exactly what price Dr. Burry paid, but we do know that it was in the range of $63.15 and $94.17.For simplicity, we take $78.87 because that was the average price range where Alibaba shares traded in Q4 2022.Data by YChartsJust before Michael Burry started his Hedge Fund, he explained his investment strategy and applied it to case studies. In fact, Michael Burry uses Technical Analysis, but mainly for risk management and nothing too crazy.He stated this on Technical Analysis:Nothing fancy. But I prefer to buy within 10% to 15% of a 52-week low that has shown itself to offer some price support. That's the contrarian part of me.This is where it fits perfectly with Alibaba, as it went right back to where it was in 2015/2016, bouncing perfectly off its support around $58. We think there is a chance that Dr. Burry actually bought his shares below $66, or 15% above trend, although it is mostly speculation on our side.Data by YChartsStill, we think the stock becomes a strong buy when it gets into this $66 trading range. This is for valuation reasons we will explain, and because we can buy the stock and set a stop-loss at $58 in case Alibaba breaks through that support level, and limit losses to just over -12%.Our Valuation ModelAlibaba is perhaps one of the most undervalued companies we believe is currently on the market. Paradoxically, for a company that has seen its revenues grow at an average annual rate of 43.3% between 2013 and 2022, it is only trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 13.47x.Data by YChartsAnd this analogy can be extended across the board. Alibaba has experienced astronomical growth in terms of EBITDA, with an annual growth rate of 33.8%. Free cash flow has also grown tremendously, from $1.93BN in 2013 to $14.19BN in the past 12 months.This means that both our measures EV/EBITDA and P/FCF check out. We believe, in this case, that the rewards still far outweigh the risks by trading below 12x FCF or at a relatively normal 17x EV/EBITDA.Data by YChartsThat's another reason why it would be a great buy if it gets near those all-time lows. It certainly has the same characteristics as the opportunity to buy Amazon (AMZN) in late 2008, when it also bottomed around a 10x EV/EBITDA multiple and a P/FCF multiple of 15. However, we understand that Alibaba could still bottom at lower levels, as the U.S. has always traded at a certain premium to China.Data by YChartsFor us, Alibaba seems right on both an absolute and relative valuation, based on simple measures. Since we are long-term investors, we will look at how we see Alibaba for the future and where it could be in the next 10 years.First, revenue. Alibaba has experienced monstrous growth of more than 43% over the past 10 years, in the same exponential fashion as Amazon. There are many reasons to believe that this growth could continue for quite some time, although we have modeled our forecast more conservatively.After all, Amazon has managed to grow its sales by more than 24% over the past decade against all odds, from the same baseline which Alibaba is at right now. We still factored in a lot of headwinds for 2023, close to the Wall Street forecasts, as short-term forecasts tend to be relatively reliable. We also factored in headwinds for EBITDA margins, but expect them to return to healthier levels.Author's Valuation ModelA relative measure is that Alibaba will average an EBITDA margin of 33.8% between 2015 and 2020. We expect Alibaba's cloud, which is still in its infancy at <0.1% of China's GDP, to be a major driver of this growth, providing huge tailwinds in addition to domestic trade revenues, like has been the case for Amazon over the past decade.This is also in line with the expected CAGR of 12.4% that China will experience, according to market research. From a cash flow perspective, we have also modeled headwinds for 2023. We will explain our reasoning for these headwinds and a lower growth rate in the next section of our valuation. Our cash flow estimates are based on a linear growth rate closer to 12%, compared to the CFO's 33.6% growth rate over the past decade.In all of our models, we also consider stock-based compensation to provide a true picture of profitability, as stock-based compensation historically appears to be near 10% of revenue.Author's Valuation ModelCapital expenditures were also modeled accordingly and grow linearly with revenues. Our valuation shows an expected EBITDA of $70.66BN and FCFE of $40.74BN by 2032.So on an EV/EBITDA basis, taking into account cash and debt, we arrive at a market capitalization of about $1.00T around 2032, or $372.77 per share at a 14x multiple. We chose a lower multiple of 14, compared to the average of 16x, to account for the lower valuations in China relative to the US.Author's Valuation ModelOn an FCFE basis, as you can see below, we think Alibaba has the potential to generate $15.16 in FCFE/share by 2032. We again chose a fairly high FCFE yield of 6%, taking into account higher interest rates and the China discount rate. We arrive at a price per share of $252.74 on an FCFE basis.Author's Valuation ModelFinally, if we take both valuations together at a 50% weighting, we get our final estimate of $312.76 per share, or roughly a 200% increase over the current share price.In an IRR calculator, that's a stunning 20.06% IRR over the next 10 years. We can't find many stocks with a higher IRR, frankly.Author's Valuation ModelTo us, everything fits: there is a margin of safety on a technical analysis basis and current valuation basis, trading at low multiples. Even if growth were to disappoint, at an EV/EBITDA multiplier of 12x it can be considered an attractive value stock.In summary, the downside is relatively limited when looking at fundamentals, while the upside potential is absolutely enormous. As for the downside, there are quite a few risks.The Kitchen Is Heating UpAll that growth and opportunity sounds fantastic. So why do we think Alibaba is not yet a \"Strong Buy\" at current prices. Well, there are still a lot of daunting risk factors to consider.And getting back to Michael Burry's notion that GDP has multiplied 18 times while stocks have not really moved, we want to add some caveats. Because China's GDP and growth model can be a bit misleading. In this situation, the stock market may be the smartest one in the room, not GDP.While China's GDP has grown astronomically, there are reasons to believe that this rise will not last forever. One such reason is China's economic model, which can essentially be described as \"growth at any cost.\" As a result, China's economy has seemingly become more credit-driven in recent history. This came to light for most people with Evergrande in late 2021, which revealed the unhealthy and unsustainable growth of China's real estate market.PBOC, NBS, WSJAnd we have all seen what a credit-driven frenzy can look like, just look at Japan in 1989. Funnily enough, China's real estate to GDP ratio is about the same as Japan's in 1989, with a housing to GDP ratio of 3x.Currently, China's debt-to-GDP ratio exceeds the U.S., although it is still smaller than Japan, which takes the crown as the global leader in debt-to-GDP ratio.Deutsche BankChina's model of GDP growth at all costs, at the expense of wealth, must one day come to a halt. For example, it was recently revealed that China overestimated its population by 100 million and is shrinking for the first time in 60 years, contrary to what was previously believed to be a massively growing nation.Certain things such as China's ever-growing trade surplus over the past 25 years is also a major factor in China's economic model, although times have changed greatly since then. Will China be able to grow its surplus indefinitely, as it has in the past? We doubt it will.BloombergStill, even if certain elements of GDP are overestimated, there is much reason to believe that the Chinese stock market should not be where it was 25 years ago, as most people see that much progress has clearly been made since then.There are also reasons to believe that Alibaba will benefit because it is a company the government would rather not be without. It would be about the same as the U.S. trying to shut down Amazon. Too many jobs and too many consumers depend on the company, and it is seen as one of the most valuable assets in the economy. Anyone would have too hard a time getting rid of it.And maybe China is uninvestable. But we think Alibaba is one of the few that subverts that rule and still falls into our circle of competence, because of its sheer size, low valuation and its growth prospects. Or maybe, if investors can't stand the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen.The Bottom LineAlthough China may face some headwinds today and in the coming year, we think the market is in a bottoming out process and ready to trade above that Hang Seng trend line of 15,000.In our opinion, Michael Burry also probably sees China as undervalued, having bought 50,000 shares of Alibaba and some other Chinese companies. Based on EV/EBITDA and P/FCF, it is just too cheap to ignore, and the rewards currently seem to outweigh the risks with an IRR over 20%. If the stock returns to all-time lows, we consider it a strong buy.Those near-term headwinds, such as a macroeconomic downturn as we mentioned, or tensions such as recently with Chinese spy balloons ratcheting up tensions, should dissipate at some point in our view. And when that happens, Alibaba is poised to run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":228,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954489260,"gmtCreate":1676546152351,"gmtModify":1676546156389,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954489260","repostId":"1181671659","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1181671659","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":1676540732,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1181671659?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-16 17:45","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Option Movers｜Volume Of Roblox and AMC Rose 255% and 30% Separately; This Oil Stock Had 94% Call Options","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1181671659","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Market OverviewThe S&P 500 ended higher on Wednesday after stronger-than-expected retail sales data ","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Market Overview</h2><p>The S&amp;P 500 ended higher on Wednesday after stronger-than-expected retail sales data offered evidence of resilience in the U.S. economy, but gains were capped as investors worried about more interest rate hikes by Federal Reserve in the months ahead.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.28%, the Nasdaq gained 0.92%, and Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.11%.</p><p>Regarding the options market, a total volume of 38,507,017 contracts was traded on Wednesday, down 3.02% from the previous trading day.</p><h2>Top 10 Option Volumes</h2><p>Top 10: SPY, TSLA, QQQ, AAPL, VIX, AMZN, PLTR, GOOGL, AMC, NVDA</p><p>There were 7.51 million <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPY\">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</a></b> and 2.55 million <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QQQ\">Invesco QQQ Trust</a></b> options contracts trading on Wednesday. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPY\">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</a></b>’s trading volumes fell 23.21% while <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QQQ\">Invesco QQQ Trust</a></b>’s volume slid 25.22% from the previous day separately. 54% of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPY\">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</a></b> trades bet on bearish options.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/028d3ce36311f0b3f3a11ce4949a8797\" tg-width=\"465\" tg-height=\"929\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Tiger Trade App</span></p><p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">AMC Entertainment</a></b> rose 14.89% on Wednesday though its major shareholder Antara Capital Lp sold 3,638,989 shares in a transaction dated last Friday, February 10th.

Bitcoin rose further after jumping 8.7% Wednesday, the most in three months, to reach the highest level since August.“Everybody is trying to figure out whether this is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime soft landing or if it’s just taking longer before we get a panic recession,” Jerry Braakman, chief investment officer of First American Trust, said in an interview. “That’s why you’re seeing a lot of divergence between bulls and bears.”Oil advanced as investors assessed more evidence of higher energy demand in China and broader markets gained with a risk-on tone.In Turkey, the main equities benchmark reversed its post-quake losses in a little more than a day, less than the amount of time it took for the big slump to occur, thanks to government measures to support the stock market.In other corporate news, Adani Group is in talks with potential investors about a bond offering, according to people familiar with the matter.Key events:US jobless claims, Australia unemployment, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester speaks at Global Interdependence Center event ThursdayFrance CPI, Russia GDP FridaySome of the main moves in markets:StocksThe Stoxx Europe 600 rose 0.5% as of 9:39 a.m. London timeS&P 500 futures were little changedNasdaq 100 futures were little changedFutures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average were little changedThe MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.8%The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 0.6%CurrenciesThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was little changedThe euro was little changed at $1.0694The Japanese yen rose 0.2% to 133.92 per dollarThe offshore yuan was little changed at 6.8673 per dollarThe British pound rose 0.1% to $1.2045CryptocurrenciesBitcoin rose 1.8% to $24,621.82Ether rose 1.2% to $1,685.75BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries declined three basis points to 3.77%Germany’s 10-year yield declined two basis points to 2.46%Britain’s 10-year yield declined two basis points to 3.47%CommoditiesBrent crude rose 0.1% to $85.50 a barrelSpot gold was little changedVolatilityVIX rose 1.15% to 18.44VIXmain slid 0.25% to 20.00","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":400,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954489894,"gmtCreate":1676546132018,"gmtModify":1676546135635,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954489894","repostId":"2311413852","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2311413852","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1676543135,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2311413852?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-16 18:25","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore Shares Rise 0.9% Amid Risk-On Sentiment","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2311413852","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Singapore's FTSE Straits Times Index closed 0.9% higher at 3311.23, amid a risk-on mood in Asian mar","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Singapore&#39;s FTSE Straits Times Index closed 0.9% higher at 3311.23, amid a risk-on mood in Asian markets, following the release of U.S. January retail sales data. </p><p>U.S. retail data posted their biggest rise in almost two years, which showed that consumer demand is holding up despite high inflation, says Saxo Markets market strategist Charu Chanana in a note. </p><p>Gains were seen across sectors.

However, I believe it is likely approaching one of its worst quarterly earnings reports in the last decade. Multiple headwinds across Apple&#39;s diverse segments suggest nextquarter could be a big miss, or perhaps there could even be a pre-announcement. In the last eight quarters, Apple has beat expectations every time and met expectations once in October 2021.</p><p>Apple&#39;s multiple has grown recently as it proved its services business could be a true grower. However, the hardware segments still account for 80% of revenue, which is expected to be essentially flat this year. There have been continual problems with the development of future products.

Over the last quarters, Cupertino has beaten expectations by less and less. I suspect this next quarter is when they finally miss, perhaps in a shocking way.</p><h2>Apple&#39;s Performance Lately</h2><p>Last quarter, Apple held the line with record September sales of $90 billion that surpassed analyst estimates while its Tech Titan peers languished amid slowdowns in demand for core revenue drivers, including digital advertising. This quarter, I think Apple&#39;s earnings will be very weak and lead to one of the most significant one-day drops for the stock in recent history. The stock only had one major post-earnings drop in the last eight quarters in FQ2022, and the stock was down almost 9% a day after that report. I suspect this earnings report on February 2nd will result in the stock dropping more than this.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba8d27b1f1d41f1c683fb9b9f145d178\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"368\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Thinkorswim</span></p><p>The uncertainty and obstacles casting a shadow over this coming earnings report are significant for Apple. The first fiscal quarter of the year reflects Apple&#39;s holiday sales, and over the last five years, this quarter has been responsible for around a third of the total revenue for the year. Downward revisions have flurried in.</p><p>As I will argue in this article, the headwinds for Apple are mounting across the entire business, and uncertainty is building. It&#39;s essential also to remember that if a stock has a P/E of 20, that 95% of the value is based on earnings far in the future. Apple has recently set diminished expectations for the two future products that will need to drive a lot of revenue to live up to the high expectations for the stock, the iCarand the AR headset.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49871ba1f61719335227cfce9416e2a4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"158\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Over the last year, Technology got hit very hard as the Federal Reserve brought the pain with the second-fastest tightening cycle in history. Some large-cap tech names lost close to most of their market cap, some even more. However, Apple was a relative haven compared to many of its peers. The world&#39;s largest company has done a lot to earn investors&#39; trust. It is perhaps the most successful company in history and the largest company on the planet by market cap.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/da83cb26ed9e160a73c89edca2b450e0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"243\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>However, during November and December, alarming developments came out of Apple&#39;s Shenzen manufacturing cluster, where it produces the vast majority of its most important product, the iPhone. First, production was interrupted by a COVID outbreak, and second by a riot and mass worker walk-outs.</p><p>This led to significant production interruptions. While many companies had been relocating operations out of China due to an increasingly challenging operating environment, Apple remained steadfast. However, in December, Apple finally cracked after the unseemly riot and announced plans to accelerate its supply chain diversification out of China.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/511e06e6a34fade4d811c7b2bc4dda7a\" tg-width=\"918\" tg-height=\"596\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Bloomberg</span></p><p>I did an article last month on Apple&#39;s increasing supply chain woes called <i>Apple&#39;s China Curse Has Likely Only Just Begun.</i> In this piece, I detailed why I thought the issues emerging from China were more consequential than a mere hiccup in the headline cycle. The low costs and stability that Apple&#39;s Chinese partners have provided have been critical to the firm&#39;s ability to generate the &#34;super profits&#34; that shareholders so love it for. Here is an excerpt summarizing my thoughts on the supply problem below.</p><blockquote>The production issues in China and the subsequent efforts to diversify them at an accelerated pace means that the only direction for costs over the next couple of years will be up, at the expense of increasingly superior shareholder returns relative to peers. The product cycle depends on new models to sustain demand, so the interruption in the most advanced models is especially concerning and potentially very problematic. Already there are reports that Apple&#39;s next model will require the largest price hike in the history of the iPhone. Apple must avoid losing its high-tempo iPhone product cadence at all costs. And cost it will.</blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4eb238945faa0ea9fa18c92e1b7d346f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"242\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Since my article was published, Apple has significantly lagged behind its Tech peers, reversing the relative leadership it showed in 2022. Apple was down about 7.5% over the last month, with Microsoft not far behind. However, the rest of the large-cap tech titans did significantly better. Amazon gained over 6%, and Meta gained over 14%.</p><p>Apple dipped to a 52-week low of $124.17 on January 3rd and has since recovered to around $134 as of the writing of this article. Another big part of my bearishness on Apple was that its earnings are forecast to decelerate throughout the first half. It is tough comps off a COVID peak. But earnings are forecast to contract slightly the quarter after as well.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3e4ca4979521c433013659b59e7d3a2d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TD Ameritrade</span></p><p>That article was focused on the supply-side issue in China, which has improved since, and the difficulty of moving away from China. However, many other headwinds are coming to roost as Apple approaches its most vital report of the year. As I previously argued, the issues from dependence on the Chinese manufacturing cluster won&#39;t be going away anytime soon despite the improvement in what was an extremely acute situation. There are also other risks vexing Cupertino.</p><h2>A Constellation of Risks Across Apple&#39;s Business Casts a Dark Cloud in 2023</h2><p>Apple is a genuinely excellent business that has changed the human experience profoundly, but it is also the largest business in the world. No matter what it is, the world&#39;s largest business will always have a royal list of problems that defy comprehension. Indeed, it is a miracle that Apple performed so well during the global pandemic and a testament to the excellent management team.</p><p>However, the influx of demand during that period almost necessarily means growth will be subdued in the coming years, given the prodigious scale of the company and dismal economic conditions in key global markets. As you can see, one of the critical things Apple has been demonstrating to the joy of its shareholders over the last years is a diversification of revenue away from the iPhone, mainly from the fast-growing services segment. This is one of the main reasons the multiple expanded beyond its hardware peers, but there has been a weakness in services in past quarters that will likely only be getting worse.</p><p>The iPhone is a pretty mature product dependent on a highly synchronized global dance where thousands of suppliers from dozens of countries ship their wares to Foxconn facilities in China to be assembled. The upcoming quarter is already slated to be impacted significantly because of the supply disruptions in Apple&#39;s core revenue driver.</p><p>Big Tech&#39;s reporting relative to large non-Tech companies is somewhat more opaque, likely to deceive competitors on crucial profit centers, but this also makes it hard for analysts to understand the scale of adverse developments, which is only exacerbated by recency bias. This is not to imply any wrongdoing by the company or Big Tech in general. But, given that the size of their segments is larger than most companies and that Apple and its peers tend to lump a lot of business lines into fewer segments than non-tech peers, it can be challenging to know where potential risks can emerge after three bumper years in a row.</p><p>For example, the Economist reported that the five largest Technology firms have thirty-two reporting segments compared to fifty-six reporting segments for the largest five non-Tech firms. When you have the best of the best aiding in preparing your 10-Ks, there&#39;s some perfectly legal wiggle room in how to present yourself best. You can bet that Big Tech is putting on its best face and not advertising its competitive edge, but this can also produce unwelcome surprises.</p><p>However, other emerging risks across the business make me think that the upcoming report could be even worse than the revised downward momentum in estimates revisions suggest. This is because the emerging constellation of risks goes far beyond the problems in Zhengzhou (iPhone city).</p><p>The first problem is also the most obvious one. You see that spike in iPhone sales, well the one coming next quarter will be severely diminished by the production issues I&#39;ve already thoroughly discussed. What is less considered, though, is the recent reports that Apple is starting to experience reduced demand across several product lines. It is also estimated that up to 10% of Apple&#39;s revenue could be threatened by looming antitrust efforts. One potential shock to investors would be if the multi-billion dollar payment Google pays for the exclusive search were to come under scrutiny. There are many moving parts and potential for unpleasant surprises in 2023.</p><p><b>Slowing Demand, Rising Costs, and Tough Comps:</b> The production problems are well-known, and fears around this issue are probably the primary reason the stock recently hit a 52-week low. Still, rising concerns about demand for Apple products amid a general global electronics slowdown have cropped up recently. One Apple supplier recently told the media that the company has been asking its suppliers to produce fewer critical components because of weak demand&#34;across almost all products.&#34; The bumper demand for Macs and iPads that helped the company achieve record earnings in the wake of COVID is likely to reverse significantly.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349ba3bf1702d99e400dff921df9cca7\" tg-width=\"548\" tg-height=\"314\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Also, despite being overshadowed by the problems at Zhengzhou and COVID protests, Apple has already cut production targets because of diminishing consumer demand. Remember that Apple is a global company and significant portions of sales come from Europe and China, both experiencing significant and potentially prolonged economic weakness. The economic weakness may be finally making its way to the high-end consumers that Apple largely depends on, and if a &#34;richcession&#34; occurs, the firm&#39;s sales could suffer in an outsized way. It&#39;s not just the products themselves; Apple services revenues depend on a high-spending customer in gaming, for instance. In this subsection of services, 1% of customers (presumably affluent) account for two-thirds of revenue.</p><p>The other thing is that the foregone iPhone demand from production issues won&#39;t necessarily be recovered as in the past. Some expect Apple to revise estimates for the March quarter, but if we&#39;re in the teeth of an economic slowdown, these upward projections might be too optimistic. Some analysts see the demand as increasingly perishable. If this is the case, then estimates for Apple&#39;s earnings are still far too high. Price targets have decreased significantly, which may reach a crescendo after the following report.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e4c1a53f8325a0416d65003acd9020f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"347\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Chinese demand for iPhones is challenging as the country endures a wrenching COVID outbreak after the nation&#39;s leadership ended years of draconian anti-virus measures. The numbers of infected are in closing in on a billion cases. Significantly, the Chinese population may have diminished capacity for purchasing in the wake of such a ubiquitous scourge. Much of China&#39;s population tends to save a high proportion of their income in savings, which may have been exhausted from medical expenses. A hefty proportion of the population has no proper health insurance. CFO Luca Maestri also predicted Mac sales would drop substantially this quarter.</p><p><b>Problems With Services Segment:</b> Wall Street Analysts have long been wary of Apple&#39;s overconcentration in iPhones for revenue. The company&#39;s answer was to create a diversified model that would become increasingly dependent on subscription revenue for Apple Services, including the App Store, Apple TV+, Apple Music, and cloud services.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74d50f4e1538b3cfe95b03dd2d55106f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Macrumor.com</span></p><p>The story of the Services growth has mainly been positive, but the massive influx of new activity seen around stay-at-home restrictions from COVID will be hard to maintain or supersede. Apple&#39;s Services growth has been decelerating. In Apple&#39;s earnings report two quarters ago, Services grew at the slowest pace since 2015.</p><p>There doesn&#39;t seem to be any help on the way, and I suspect continued muted growth rates in the Services segment. Without the high growth in the non-hardware segment, Apple&#39;s multiple will likely come under additional pressure. Rising costs for diminishing returns in areas like Apple&#39;s streaming segment, which are necessary to compete, are not a good sign for those hoping to maintain similar levels of growth and profitability in the future.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b131ed622bfb5af5973c05b23ba0e25d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"268\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Trefis</span></p><p>The growth assumptions for the Services components appear very precarious at this time. While Apple streaming has been a great success, it will require increasing investments with diminishing returns to stay competitive. App store revenue, licensing revenue, and third-party subscriptions could all experience obstacles to realizing expected growth.</p><p>This is crucial because part of the reason Apple had begun to have its multiple expand was that it was seen as delivering on the high-stakes effort to have services be the growth engine. Of course, the high-margin services segment also is essential for profitability to continue at levels investors have become expected. The firm is also facing antitrust issues in Europe, and an antitrust proceeding from the DOJ is rumored to be in the works.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c4870a58746ff830d589e58a525942a5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"242\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Remember that the inability to meet iPhone demand because of production problems could also be problematic for bringing new users into the Apple services ecosystem. Apple Services is also leaving a key executive who has shepherded its robust growth over the last years, Peter Stern. This has led to a personnel reshuffling and uncertainty over succession in the vital segment as he was the ordained heir. Succession for critical roles is particularly delicate at Apple, which I believe is an underappreciated headwind to the vital division. Without dazzling investors with Services growth, the P/E seems more likely to be in the range from 2012-2019 than the range seen in the last three years.</p><h2>Other Issues Are Emerging</h2><p>One of the hidden secrets behind Silicon Valley&#39;s awe-inspiring success is that at the heart of the fantastic technology and shiny things the bloc produces is a vicious battle for the talent that makes it happen. Unfortunately, there&#39;s been mounting issues at Apple in this area which should be very disturbing for shareholders. According to Glassdoor, Apple is no longer one of the top places to work for the first time in over a decade. Issues are emerging in some important new initiatives. The company has touted efforts to bring chip design in-house to the benefit of consumers. However, any benefit of this is likely to be erased by the increased costs of hurriedly exiting China for other locales that won&#39;t be able to deliver a fraction of the subsidization that China does. But even more than this, Apple&#39;s internal chip efforts have been beset by personnel problems and a significant engineering error that resulted in an inferior iPhone iteration.</p><p>One of Apple&#39;s key suppliers, TSMC, also reported earnings that suggest a global slowdown in demand for advanced electronics. This and other information suggest that Apple faces more headwinds than many are willing to admit. However, an even bigger problem is that there are growing morale problems amongst Apple&#39;s core employees that are emblematic of a growing malaise. Granted, it&#39;s a growing malaise from one of human history&#39;s most significant commercial achievements. Peak Apple may come back eventually, but it&#39;s likely gone for now. Consistently attracting the highest quality personnel in their field is essential to everything Apple does.</p><h2>Risks to My Bearish Thesis</h2><p>Apple is a fantastic company with a competent management team. But seemingly, the risk is to the downside as we approach Cupertino&#39;s most crucial report of the year. In my estimation, the supply problems in China and the associated effort to diversify it are a secular risk that will pressure Apple&#39;s margins for the foreseeable future. However, I am surprised the company has already got factories back to 90% capacity. So, if the Chinese production issues are less acute and sticky than I thought, then Apple is in a considerably better position than my analysis would suggest.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ded3773b2e407dc373035f17b0b4baed\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TD Ameritrade</span></p><p>Economic data has been coming suggesting that we may get a mild recession or that the Fed may be able to pivot to an accommodative posture sooner than you would think, taking them at face value. If we get a bullish development there and the Fed begins cutting around mid-2023, then Apple will likely be able to rally because of the pressure being taken off valuations for the whole market.</p><p>There is also a chance that murmurings of weakness in the services segment are overblown. Apple sold many products and brought many people into the ecosystem over the past years. The firm has also been making the ecosystem a better value for consumers, which could prove particularly successful, leading to better performance in the services segment I currently expect. Apple has a lot of resources as the world&#39;s largest company and still has a lot of gravitas to pull strings when needed. However, I am still firmly convinced the risk is to the downside for the earnings report coming in early February.</p><p>Because of these risks, it is my recommendation not to short-sell Apple. One of the benefits of owning a stock like Apple is the deep and liquid derivatives markets. I believe long put options or covered calls are the best way to play my recommendation for those who don&#39;t want to sell their position or expose themselves to the potentially limitless loss that can occur with a short sale.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>I realize that my bearish call on Apple is quite a contrarian one. I also realize it is a very loved company, and I am not trying to diminish the accomplishments of current management teams or past ones. However, Apple&#39;s earnings growth this year will be subdued by tough comps and is subject to more uncertainty than at any time in the recent past. No new products are coming that aren&#39;t in a market with high barriers to entry. For example, if Apple succeeds with its AR headset, it would be a first in the valley. Cars are a tricky business as well.</p><p>This was the case before the acute problems in China and rising concerns about demand across different Apple products. I suspect that the levels of uncertainty will make forecasting more complex than it&#39;s been for years, raising the prospect of an ugly earnings miss on Apple&#39;s next quarterly call.</p><p>Apple is a large company that would be exposed to a global recession. But the signs of problems in the touted chip segment, decelerating growth in the services segment, and reports of growing employee dissatisfaction make me think that this quarter could see some anomalously bad performance from Cupertino.</p><p>China was central to the formula shareholders loved. According to my analysis, the consensus is missing the scale of the costs and risks associated with an accelerated diversification of Apple&#39;s manufacturing capacity. Growing headwinds on the demand side and in the cherished services segment add to my concern. I remain bearish on Apple in the short and medium term and consider it a strong sell. To reiterate, I suggest using long-put options or covered calls rather than exposing yourself to the considerable risk of short-selling. I think March expirations are advantageous here as I suspect there could be some price weakness between the early February earnings and Apple&#39;s coming investor day in March.</p><p><i>This article is written by Christopher Robb for reference only.

However, I believe it is likely approaching one of its worst quarterly earnings reports in the last decade. Multiple headwinds across Apple's diverse segments suggest nextquarter could be a big miss, or perhaps there could even be a pre-announcement. In the last eight quarters, Apple has beat expectations every time and met expectations once in October 2021.Apple's multiple has grown recently as it proved its services business could be a true grower. However, the hardware segments still account for 80% of revenue, which is expected to be essentially flat this year. There have been continual problems with the development of future products. Given the company's massive scale, I believe success here would have to be perfect to contribute to revenue meaningfully.Applehas grown from $19.1 billion in annual revenue in 2006 to $394 billion in 2022. The impeccable record of the last decades seems too much to maintain, and while the firm successfully spun a lot of plates to keep delivering during COVID, this is the quarter where a few are likely to fall. Much of the recent behavior of management could suggest that a \"mea culpa\" quarter is what's in store.Seeking AlphaThe other thing is that the Services business is experiencing single-digit growth and has had personnel issues. Due to these issues, the vital segment is undergoing a complete restructuring: another source of risk for a company with no current roadmap to produce genre-defining blockbuster products that have a high chance of living up to the super-human expectations that investors have for this stock. Over the last quarters, Cupertino has beaten expectations by less and less. I suspect this next quarter is when they finally miss, perhaps in a shocking way.Apple's Performance LatelyLast quarter, Apple held the line with record September sales of $90 billion that surpassed analyst estimates while its Tech Titan peers languished amid slowdowns in demand for core revenue drivers, including digital advertising. This quarter, I think Apple's earnings will be very weak and lead to one of the most significant one-day drops for the stock in recent history. The stock only had one major post-earnings drop in the last eight quarters in FQ2022, and the stock was down almost 9% a day after that report. I suspect this earnings report on February 2nd will result in the stock dropping more than this.ThinkorswimThe uncertainty and obstacles casting a shadow over this coming earnings report are significant for Apple. The first fiscal quarter of the year reflects Apple's holiday sales, and over the last five years, this quarter has been responsible for around a third of the total revenue for the year. Downward revisions have flurried in.As I will argue in this article, the headwinds for Apple are mounting across the entire business, and uncertainty is building. It's essential also to remember that if a stock has a P/E of 20, that 95% of the value is based on earnings far in the future. Apple has recently set diminished expectations for the two future products that will need to drive a lot of revenue to live up to the high expectations for the stock, the iCarand the AR headset.Seeking AlphaOver the last year, Technology got hit very hard as the Federal Reserve brought the pain with the second-fastest tightening cycle in history. Some large-cap tech names lost close to most of their market cap, some even more. However, Apple was a relative haven compared to many of its peers. The world's largest company has done a lot to earn investors' trust. It is perhaps the most successful company in history and the largest company on the planet by market cap.Seeking AlphaHowever, during November and December, alarming developments came out of Apple's Shenzen manufacturing cluster, where it produces the vast majority of its most important product, the iPhone. First, production was interrupted by a COVID outbreak, and second by a riot and mass worker walk-outs.This led to significant production interruptions. While many companies had been relocating operations out of China due to an increasingly challenging operating environment, Apple remained steadfast. However, in December, Apple finally cracked after the unseemly riot and announced plans to accelerate its supply chain diversification out of China.BloombergI did an article last month on Apple's increasing supply chain woes called Apple's China Curse Has Likely Only Just Begun. In this piece, I detailed why I thought the issues emerging from China were more consequential than a mere hiccup in the headline cycle. The low costs and stability that Apple's Chinese partners have provided have been critical to the firm's ability to generate the \"super profits\" that shareholders so love it for. Here is an excerpt summarizing my thoughts on the supply problem below.The production issues in China and the subsequent efforts to diversify them at an accelerated pace means that the only direction for costs over the next couple of years will be up, at the expense of increasingly superior shareholder returns relative to peers. The product cycle depends on new models to sustain demand, so the interruption in the most advanced models is especially concerning and potentially very problematic. Already there are reports that Apple's next model will require the largest price hike in the history of the iPhone. Apple must avoid losing its high-tempo iPhone product cadence at all costs. And cost it will.Seeking AlphaSince my article was published, Apple has significantly lagged behind its Tech peers, reversing the relative leadership it showed in 2022. Apple was down about 7.5% over the last month, with Microsoft not far behind. However, the rest of the large-cap tech titans did significantly better. Amazon gained over 6%, and Meta gained over 14%.Apple dipped to a 52-week low of $124.17 on January 3rd and has since recovered to around $134 as of the writing of this article. Another big part of my bearishness on Apple was that its earnings are forecast to decelerate throughout the first half. It is tough comps off a COVID peak. But earnings are forecast to contract slightly the quarter after as well.TD AmeritradeThat article was focused on the supply-side issue in China, which has improved since, and the difficulty of moving away from China. However, many other headwinds are coming to roost as Apple approaches its most vital report of the year. As I previously argued, the issues from dependence on the Chinese manufacturing cluster won't be going away anytime soon despite the improvement in what was an extremely acute situation. There are also other risks vexing Cupertino.A Constellation of Risks Across Apple's Business Casts a Dark Cloud in 2023Apple is a genuinely excellent business that has changed the human experience profoundly, but it is also the largest business in the world. No matter what it is, the world's largest business will always have a royal list of problems that defy comprehension. Indeed, it is a miracle that Apple performed so well during the global pandemic and a testament to the excellent management team.However, the influx of demand during that period almost necessarily means growth will be subdued in the coming years, given the prodigious scale of the company and dismal economic conditions in key global markets. As you can see, one of the critical things Apple has been demonstrating to the joy of its shareholders over the last years is a diversification of revenue away from the iPhone, mainly from the fast-growing services segment. This is one of the main reasons the multiple expanded beyond its hardware peers, but there has been a weakness in services in past quarters that will likely only be getting worse.The iPhone is a pretty mature product dependent on a highly synchronized global dance where thousands of suppliers from dozens of countries ship their wares to Foxconn facilities in China to be assembled. The upcoming quarter is already slated to be impacted significantly because of the supply disruptions in Apple's core revenue driver.Big Tech's reporting relative to large non-Tech companies is somewhat more opaque, likely to deceive competitors on crucial profit centers, but this also makes it hard for analysts to understand the scale of adverse developments, which is only exacerbated by recency bias. This is not to imply any wrongdoing by the company or Big Tech in general. But, given that the size of their segments is larger than most companies and that Apple and its peers tend to lump a lot of business lines into fewer segments than non-tech peers, it can be challenging to know where potential risks can emerge after three bumper years in a row.For example, the Economist reported that the five largest Technology firms have thirty-two reporting segments compared to fifty-six reporting segments for the largest five non-Tech firms. When you have the best of the best aiding in preparing your 10-Ks, there's some perfectly legal wiggle room in how to present yourself best. You can bet that Big Tech is putting on its best face and not advertising its competitive edge, but this can also produce unwelcome surprises.However, other emerging risks across the business make me think that the upcoming report could be even worse than the revised downward momentum in estimates revisions suggest. This is because the emerging constellation of risks goes far beyond the problems in Zhengzhou (iPhone city).The first problem is also the most obvious one. You see that spike in iPhone sales, well the one coming next quarter will be severely diminished by the production issues I've already thoroughly discussed. What is less considered, though, is the recent reports that Apple is starting to experience reduced demand across several product lines. It is also estimated that up to 10% of Apple's revenue could be threatened by looming antitrust efforts. One potential shock to investors would be if the multi-billion dollar payment Google pays for the exclusive search were to come under scrutiny. There are many moving parts and potential for unpleasant surprises in 2023.Slowing Demand, Rising Costs, and Tough Comps: The production problems are well-known, and fears around this issue are probably the primary reason the stock recently hit a 52-week low. Still, rising concerns about demand for Apple products amid a general global electronics slowdown have cropped up recently. One Apple supplier recently told the media that the company has been asking its suppliers to produce fewer critical components because of weak demand\"across almost all products.\" The bumper demand for Macs and iPads that helped the company achieve record earnings in the wake of COVID is likely to reverse significantly.Seeking AlphaAlso, despite being overshadowed by the problems at Zhengzhou and COVID protests, Apple has already cut production targets because of diminishing consumer demand. Remember that Apple is a global company and significant portions of sales come from Europe and China, both experiencing significant and potentially prolonged economic weakness. The economic weakness may be finally making its way to the high-end consumers that Apple largely depends on, and if a \"richcession\" occurs, the firm's sales could suffer in an outsized way. It's not just the products themselves; Apple services revenues depend on a high-spending customer in gaming, for instance. In this subsection of services, 1% of customers (presumably affluent) account for two-thirds of revenue.The other thing is that the foregone iPhone demand from production issues won't necessarily be recovered as in the past. Some expect Apple to revise estimates for the March quarter, but if we're in the teeth of an economic slowdown, these upward projections might be too optimistic. Some analysts see the demand as increasingly perishable. If this is the case, then estimates for Apple's earnings are still far too high. Price targets have decreased significantly, which may reach a crescendo after the following report.Seeking AlphaChinese demand for iPhones is challenging as the country endures a wrenching COVID outbreak after the nation's leadership ended years of draconian anti-virus measures. The numbers of infected are in closing in on a billion cases. Significantly, the Chinese population may have diminished capacity for purchasing in the wake of such a ubiquitous scourge. Much of China's population tends to save a high proportion of their income in savings, which may have been exhausted from medical expenses. A hefty proportion of the population has no proper health insurance. CFO Luca Maestri also predicted Mac sales would drop substantially this quarter.Problems With Services Segment: Wall Street Analysts have long been wary of Apple's overconcentration in iPhones for revenue. The company's answer was to create a diversified model that would become increasingly dependent on subscription revenue for Apple Services, including the App Store, Apple TV+, Apple Music, and cloud services.Macrumor.comThe story of the Services growth has mainly been positive, but the massive influx of new activity seen around stay-at-home restrictions from COVID will be hard to maintain or supersede. Apple's Services growth has been decelerating. In Apple's earnings report two quarters ago, Services grew at the slowest pace since 2015.There doesn't seem to be any help on the way, and I suspect continued muted growth rates in the Services segment. Without the high growth in the non-hardware segment, Apple's multiple will likely come under additional pressure. Rising costs for diminishing returns in areas like Apple's streaming segment, which are necessary to compete, are not a good sign for those hoping to maintain similar levels of growth and profitability in the future.TrefisThe growth assumptions for the Services components appear very precarious at this time. While Apple streaming has been a great success, it will require increasing investments with diminishing returns to stay competitive. App store revenue, licensing revenue, and third-party subscriptions could all experience obstacles to realizing expected growth.This is crucial because part of the reason Apple had begun to have its multiple expand was that it was seen as delivering on the high-stakes effort to have services be the growth engine. Of course, the high-margin services segment also is essential for profitability to continue at levels investors have become expected. The firm is also facing antitrust issues in Europe, and an antitrust proceeding from the DOJ is rumored to be in the works.Seeking AlphaRemember that the inability to meet iPhone demand because of production problems could also be problematic for bringing new users into the Apple services ecosystem. Apple Services is also leaving a key executive who has shepherded its robust growth over the last years, Peter Stern. This has led to a personnel reshuffling and uncertainty over succession in the vital segment as he was the ordained heir. Succession for critical roles is particularly delicate at Apple, which I believe is an underappreciated headwind to the vital division. Without dazzling investors with Services growth, the P/E seems more likely to be in the range from 2012-2019 than the range seen in the last three years.Other Issues Are EmergingOne of the hidden secrets behind Silicon Valley's awe-inspiring success is that at the heart of the fantastic technology and shiny things the bloc produces is a vicious battle for the talent that makes it happen. Unfortunately, there's been mounting issues at Apple in this area which should be very disturbing for shareholders. According to Glassdoor, Apple is no longer one of the top places to work for the first time in over a decade. Issues are emerging in some important new initiatives. The company has touted efforts to bring chip design in-house to the benefit of consumers. However, any benefit of this is likely to be erased by the increased costs of hurriedly exiting China for other locales that won't be able to deliver a fraction of the subsidization that China does. But even more than this, Apple's internal chip efforts have been beset by personnel problems and a significant engineering error that resulted in an inferior iPhone iteration.One of Apple's key suppliers, TSMC, also reported earnings that suggest a global slowdown in demand for advanced electronics. This and other information suggest that Apple faces more headwinds than many are willing to admit. However, an even bigger problem is that there are growing morale problems amongst Apple's core employees that are emblematic of a growing malaise. Granted, it's a growing malaise from one of human history's most significant commercial achievements. Peak Apple may come back eventually, but it's likely gone for now. Consistently attracting the highest quality personnel in their field is essential to everything Apple does.Risks to My Bearish ThesisApple is a fantastic company with a competent management team. But seemingly, the risk is to the downside as we approach Cupertino's most crucial report of the year. In my estimation, the supply problems in China and the associated effort to diversify it are a secular risk that will pressure Apple's margins for the foreseeable future. However, I am surprised the company has already got factories back to 90% capacity. So, if the Chinese production issues are less acute and sticky than I thought, then Apple is in a considerably better position than my analysis would suggest.TD AmeritradeEconomic data has been coming suggesting that we may get a mild recession or that the Fed may be able to pivot to an accommodative posture sooner than you would think, taking them at face value. If we get a bullish development there and the Fed begins cutting around mid-2023, then Apple will likely be able to rally because of the pressure being taken off valuations for the whole market.There is also a chance that murmurings of weakness in the services segment are overblown. Apple sold many products and brought many people into the ecosystem over the past years. The firm has also been making the ecosystem a better value for consumers, which could prove particularly successful, leading to better performance in the services segment I currently expect. Apple has a lot of resources as the world's largest company and still has a lot of gravitas to pull strings when needed. However, I am still firmly convinced the risk is to the downside for the earnings report coming in early February.Because of these risks, it is my recommendation not to short-sell Apple. One of the benefits of owning a stock like Apple is the deep and liquid derivatives markets. I believe long put options or covered calls are the best way to play my recommendation for those who don't want to sell their position or expose themselves to the potentially limitless loss that can occur with a short sale.ConclusionI realize that my bearish call on Apple is quite a contrarian one. I also realize it is a very loved company, and I am not trying to diminish the accomplishments of current management teams or past ones. However, Apple's earnings growth this year will be subdued by tough comps and is subject to more uncertainty than at any time in the recent past. No new products are coming that aren't in a market with high barriers to entry. For example, if Apple succeeds with its AR headset, it would be a first in the valley. Cars are a tricky business as well.This was the case before the acute problems in China and rising concerns about demand across different Apple products. I suspect that the levels of uncertainty will make forecasting more complex than it's been for years, raising the prospect of an ugly earnings miss on Apple's next quarterly call.Apple is a large company that would be exposed to a global recession. But the signs of problems in the touted chip segment, decelerating growth in the services segment, and reports of growing employee dissatisfaction make me think that this quarter could see some anomalously bad performance from Cupertino.China was central to the formula shareholders loved. According to my analysis, the consensus is missing the scale of the costs and risks associated with an accelerated diversification of Apple's manufacturing capacity. Growing headwinds on the demand side and in the cherished services segment add to my concern. I remain bearish on Apple in the short and medium term and consider it a strong sell. To reiterate, I suggest using long-put options or covered calls rather than exposing yourself to the considerable risk of short-selling. I think March expirations are advantageous here as I suspect there could be some price weakness between the early February earnings and Apple's coming investor day in March.This article is written by Christopher Robb for reference only.

For starters, the “woke mob” is ticked at CEO Elon Musk. Next, growth stocks in general are getting hammered as interest rates rise and there is no “fed put” in sight. In this report, we rank Tesla (based on fundamental metrics) versus 20 top growth stocks sourced from the top 10 holdings of two popular active growth ETFs, Future Fund (FFND) and ARK Innovation (ARKK), both have very large positions in Tesla. After digging deeper into the details on Tesla (including its tangled business history with the woke mob, future growth potential, profitability, valuation and risks), we conclude with our strong opinion about investing in Tesla and growth stocks in general.</p><h2>Tesla Overview:</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/898f585435879dffaa9dec83e460b41c\" tg-width=\"424\" tg-height=\"98\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p>As you know, Tesla designs, develops, manufactures, leases, and sells electric vehicles, and energy generation and storage systems (in the United States, China, and internationally). For reporting purposes, the company is divided into two operating segments (Automotive, and Energy Generation and Storage), but there is a lot more going on. For starters, here is a high level look at Tesla’s recent operations, in terms of vehicle production and deliveries, as well as solar and storage deployment and supercharger stations.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aedaf32fc31973d75c7cc11d1af38908\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><h2>Electric Vehicles: The Un-Holy Grail</h2><p>Tesla’s electric vehicles (“EVs”) and other solutions have captured mounds of positive (and some negative) attention over the years, in large part because it seems to provide a compelling alternative to the dangers of fossil fuel consumption (pollution) and climate change. And while these are noble aspirations, the reality is:</p><blockquote><i>Electricity grids in most of the world are still powered by fossil fuels such as coal or oil, and EVs depend on that energy to get charged. Separately, EV battery production remains an energy-intensive process.</i></blockquote><p>Basically, EV’s are still largely powered by the fossil fuels that many are trying to avoid. Further, electric vehicle batteries are extraordinarily harmful to the environment when their lives are over (plus the mining that goes into obtaining the rare elements for batteries is particularly unfriendly to the environment too). For example:</p><blockquote><i>Not only do these batteries require large amounts of raw materials, including lithium, nickel and cobalt – mining for which has climate, environmental and human rights impacts – they also threaten to leave a mountain of electronic waste as they reach the end of their lives.</i></blockquote><p>Further still, and despite the fact that Tesla has built out an impressive charging network (you can see the numbers in the table above), it’s still a lot easier and faster to simply fill up with gas than it can be to charge an electric vehicle. We’ll have a lot more to say about Tesla vehicles and other Tesla solutions in the section of this report on growth potential.</p><h2>Tesla’s History: In Bed with the Woke Mob</h2><p>Tesla was incorporated in 2003, and Elon Must became the largest shareholder in 2004 through a $6.5 million investment (Musk had $100 million from his recent sale of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> (PYPL)—a company he cofounded). However, It wasn’t until 2021 when the company finally become profitable, for the first time, without the help of emissions credits. If you don’t know, emission credits are basically financial incentives created by government entities to help reduce pollution. And these types of government incentives were a huge factor in allowing Tesla to remain in existence over the years. For example, Tesla was only about a month away from going bankrupt during the Model 3 ramp from mid-2017 to mid-2019.</p><p>Clearly emission credits and government incentives helped Tesla become the large organization it is today (we’ll have more to say about Tesla’s current financial position later in this report), and those credits and incentives would not have existed were it not for the social and political pressures of the environmentally-focused woke mob.</p><h2>Why Growth Stocks Are Getting Crushed:</h2><p>Here is a look at the recent performance of growth stocks (including the S&amp;P 500 Growth Index (IVW), the Future Fund and the ARK innovation ETF) versus the S&amp;P 500 (SPY). It’s not been pretty for growth stocks, and it’s going to get worse (as we explain below).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e4ecc5604d9091ef9a9441191395d91\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"451\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>YCharts</span></p><p>In simple terms, growth stocks are getting hammered because the pandemic bubble is bursting. Specifically, the extraordinarily easy monetary and fiscal policies that were implemented after the onset of the pandemic led growth stocks to soar (because central banks held borrowing costs / interest rates artificially low (near 0%) and governments were throwing free money everywhere). And now that free money is gone, we’re left with the giant sucking sound of high inflation as central banks rapidly raise rates to fight the inflation they helped create.</p><p>Making matters worse, there is no “fed put” this time around (i.e. the fed isn’t going to bail out the stock market, as they have done in the past). The fed’s dual mandate is full employment and low inflation, and because unemployment is low but inflation is high, they’re going to keep raising rates (to fight inflation) which is driving the economy closer to an ugly recession. Basically, if you are a stock market investor (particularly a growth stock investor) the fed will likely keep tightening the screws on you until high inflation is gone.</p><h2>20 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked:</h2><p>The following tables include the top 10 holdings of two popular growth funds (i.e. Future Fund and ARK Innovation), as well as a variety of additional data points that are important considering the current macroeconomic environment (i.e. recession looming and a hawkish fed). Both funds have large positions in Tesla, as you can see below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b634867b9343f2b0b3b27c7d15598ff5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover, Future Fund website</span></p><p>(GOOGL) (PWR) (CELH) (SPLK) (ENPH) (CRM) (ZM) (EXAS) (ROKU) (SQ) (PATH) (SHOP) (CRSP) (NTLA) (TDOC) (TWLO) (U) (COIN) (DKNG) (BEAM)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5880c717cb5242d92253c23797f124f9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"276\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover, ARK website</span></p><p>The “Growth Score” (blue font) takes into consideration the 5 year history (as well as forward estimates) for EBITDA, Sales, and EPS growth (the best companies score a 100 (green) and the worst score a 0 (red)).

However, from a fundamentals standpoint, you’ll also notice FFND invests in a lot more companies with positive net income margins, whereas ARKK does not. This has been an absolutely critical metric over the last year as the fed has increased rates. Specifically, companies that are not yet profitable (because they were banking on future profits) have suffered the worst losses (especially considering many of them may never achieve profits now that the fed has raised rates so much. In case you don’t know, when it comes to stock market investing—interest rates matter—a lot!</p><p>Also worth mentioning, FFND seems to pay a lot more attention to fundamentals, whereas ARKK appears largely focused on long-term growth ideas and concepts—fundamentals be darned!</p><h2>Tesla’s Future Growth Potential:</h2><p>With regards to Tesla, cash flows and profitability are both growing rapidly, a very good thing considering the current challenging capital market environment (e.g. rising interest rates).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d01496e29a20163f864265e210e046c1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>From a business standpoint, Tesla’s vehicle deliveries continue to grow rapidly (despite the recent delivery miss, which caused the shares to sell off further); deliveries are at an all-time high.</p><p>The growing number of deliveries is so important because as production and deliveries keep ramping, so will Tesla’s economies of scale and profit. Further, Tesla could expand its total addressable market (“TAM”) by ten-fold by cutting the cost of an electric vehicle in half, according to this recent note from Sam Korus at ARK Investments.</p><blockquote><i>Last week, during its third-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is developing a vehicle that will sell at roughly half the price of the Model 3 and Model Y. While vehicles at price-points above $60,000 address ~5% of the total US car market, the addressable market expands to 50% at ~$30,000, as shown below.</i></blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/71ae69f9a434a648ecc86cb921b427de\" tg-width=\"1072\" tg-height=\"709\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>ARK Invest</span></p><p>Further still, Tesla has plans to launch a light truck, a semi truck and a more affordable sedan and SUV platforms. These will all contribute to economies of scale ad reduced manufacturing costs per unit. Further, Tesla’s efforts into autonomous driving software can add subscription revenue and keep the brand awareness and image high. Not to mention, Tesla’s robotaxi business add to the upside. Also notable, Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer could incrementally add value at some point in the future.</p><p>Tesla’s Energy Generation and Storage segment also continues to grow. And although not yet contributing meaningfully to profits, it continues to scale and can eventually earn margins similar to Enphase (ENPH) (a long-time Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth Portfolio holding).</p><h2>Profitability:</h2><p>As Tesla continues to ramp, so too will its profitability (margins). It helps tremendously that the company is already profitable—something many other high-growth companies cannot say (see our earlier top growth stock tables), considering rising interest rates make for a more challenging capital markets environment. Here is a look at the company’s most recent quarterly income statement (as you can see costs are not rising as rapidly as revenues, thereby improving margins and profitability).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/555327a97cc8577e06e8387529b9896d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Also very important, Tesla has a healthy balance sheet (see below). In particular, the company has more current assets than total liabilities (a good thing with rates rising and considering a significant portion of debt comes due in the next few years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64a1f6709a40f3c590af018baca39e5b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Tesla does not pay a dividend and has not been repurchasing shares, both good things considering the growth potential is attractive. Specifically, with a return on invested capital above the cost of capital, Tesla has wisely been reinvesting in itself.</p><h2>Valuation:</h2><p>Unlike other growth businesses that have sold off hard over the last year (as the fed has become increasingly hawkish), Tesla is actually profitable and margins are improving. This is a very good thing, but it’s also critically important to acknowledge Tesla’s high uncertainly and volatility (as compared to the auto industry and the overall S&amp;P 500, as you can get some feel for in the graphics below).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca520a7b7f328cb18678eba573444f36\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Assigning an exact valuation to Tesla given the high volatility, growth and uncertainty (Tesla is not a boring predictable company like Procter &amp; Gamble (PG) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)) is a challenging endeavor with resulting numbers varying widely based on cost of capital, return on capital invested and growth rate assumptions. That said, it can be worthwhile to compare Tesla’s margins, growth rate, profitability and valuation metrics to other large companies, as shown in the table below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36f83e6837820c63254aa38f27f27ca0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"224\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover</span></p><p>A few notable things in the table above, Tesla is actually profitable (that’s more than a lot of other high-growth stocks can say) and even though its forward P/E ratio is way above other automakers, so is its expected growth rate much higher.

For starters, the “woke mob” is ticked at CEO Elon Musk. Next, growth stocks in general are getting hammered as interest rates rise and there is no “fed put” in sight. In this report, we rank Tesla (based on fundamental metrics) versus 20 top growth stocks sourced from the top 10 holdings of two popular active growth ETFs, Future Fund (FFND) and ARK Innovation (ARKK), both have very large positions in Tesla. After digging deeper into the details on Tesla (including its tangled business history with the woke mob, future growth potential, profitability, valuation and risks), we conclude with our strong opinion about investing in Tesla and growth stocks in general.Tesla Overview:TeslaAs you know, Tesla designs, develops, manufactures, leases, and sells electric vehicles, and energy generation and storage systems (in the United States, China, and internationally). For reporting purposes, the company is divided into two operating segments (Automotive, and Energy Generation and Storage), but there is a lot more going on. For starters, here is a high level look at Tesla’s recent operations, in terms of vehicle production and deliveries, as well as solar and storage deployment and supercharger stations.Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationElectric Vehicles: The Un-Holy GrailTesla’s electric vehicles (“EVs”) and other solutions have captured mounds of positive (and some negative) attention over the years, in large part because it seems to provide a compelling alternative to the dangers of fossil fuel consumption (pollution) and climate change. And while these are noble aspirations, the reality is:Electricity grids in most of the world are still powered by fossil fuels such as coal or oil, and EVs depend on that energy to get charged. Separately, EV battery production remains an energy-intensive process.Basically, EV’s are still largely powered by the fossil fuels that many are trying to avoid. Further, electric vehicle batteries are extraordinarily harmful to the environment when their lives are over (plus the mining that goes into obtaining the rare elements for batteries is particularly unfriendly to the environment too). For example:Not only do these batteries require large amounts of raw materials, including lithium, nickel and cobalt – mining for which has climate, environmental and human rights impacts – they also threaten to leave a mountain of electronic waste as they reach the end of their lives.Further still, and despite the fact that Tesla has built out an impressive charging network (you can see the numbers in the table above), it’s still a lot easier and faster to simply fill up with gas than it can be to charge an electric vehicle. We’ll have a lot more to say about Tesla vehicles and other Tesla solutions in the section of this report on growth potential.Tesla’s History: In Bed with the Woke MobTesla was incorporated in 2003, and Elon Must became the largest shareholder in 2004 through a $6.5 million investment (Musk had $100 million from his recent sale of PayPal (PYPL)—a company he cofounded). However, It wasn’t until 2021 when the company finally become profitable, for the first time, without the help of emissions credits. If you don’t know, emission credits are basically financial incentives created by government entities to help reduce pollution. And these types of government incentives were a huge factor in allowing Tesla to remain in existence over the years. For example, Tesla was only about a month away from going bankrupt during the Model 3 ramp from mid-2017 to mid-2019.Clearly emission credits and government incentives helped Tesla become the large organization it is today (we’ll have more to say about Tesla’s current financial position later in this report), and those credits and incentives would not have existed were it not for the social and political pressures of the environmentally-focused woke mob.Why Growth Stocks Are Getting Crushed:Here is a look at the recent performance of growth stocks (including the S&P 500 Growth Index (IVW), the Future Fund and the ARK innovation ETF) versus the S&P 500 (SPY). It’s not been pretty for growth stocks, and it’s going to get worse (as we explain below).YChartsIn simple terms, growth stocks are getting hammered because the pandemic bubble is bursting. Specifically, the extraordinarily easy monetary and fiscal policies that were implemented after the onset of the pandemic led growth stocks to soar (because central banks held borrowing costs / interest rates artificially low (near 0%) and governments were throwing free money everywhere). And now that free money is gone, we’re left with the giant sucking sound of high inflation as central banks rapidly raise rates to fight the inflation they helped create.Making matters worse, there is no “fed put” this time around (i.e. the fed isn’t going to bail out the stock market, as they have done in the past). The fed’s dual mandate is full employment and low inflation, and because unemployment is low but inflation is high, they’re going to keep raising rates (to fight inflation) which is driving the economy closer to an ugly recession. Basically, if you are a stock market investor (particularly a growth stock investor) the fed will likely keep tightening the screws on you until high inflation is gone.20 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked:The following tables include the top 10 holdings of two popular growth funds (i.e. Future Fund and ARK Innovation), as well as a variety of additional data points that are important considering the current macroeconomic environment (i.e. recession looming and a hawkish fed). Both funds have large positions in Tesla, as you can see below.StockRover, Future Fund website(GOOGL) (PWR) (CELH) (SPLK) (ENPH) (CRM) (ZM) (EXAS) (ROKU) (SQ) (PATH) (SHOP) (CRSP) (NTLA) (TDOC) (TWLO) (U) (COIN) (DKNG) (BEAM)StockRover, ARK websiteThe “Growth Score” (blue font) takes into consideration the 5 year history (as well as forward estimates) for EBITDA, Sales, and EPS growth (the best companies score a 100 (green) and the worst score a 0 (red)). If you’d like an expanded list, please reference our new report: Amazon: 100 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked.Both funds (FFND and ARKK) invest in companies with very high future growth estimates (as you can see in the table above). However, from a fundamentals standpoint, you’ll also notice FFND invests in a lot more companies with positive net income margins, whereas ARKK does not. This has been an absolutely critical metric over the last year as the fed has increased rates. Specifically, companies that are not yet profitable (because they were banking on future profits) have suffered the worst losses (especially considering many of them may never achieve profits now that the fed has raised rates so much. In case you don’t know, when it comes to stock market investing—interest rates matter—a lot!Also worth mentioning, FFND seems to pay a lot more attention to fundamentals, whereas ARKK appears largely focused on long-term growth ideas and concepts—fundamentals be darned!Tesla’s Future Growth Potential:With regards to Tesla, cash flows and profitability are both growing rapidly, a very good thing considering the current challenging capital market environment (e.g. rising interest rates).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationFrom a business standpoint, Tesla’s vehicle deliveries continue to grow rapidly (despite the recent delivery miss, which caused the shares to sell off further); deliveries are at an all-time high.The growing number of deliveries is so important because as production and deliveries keep ramping, so will Tesla’s economies of scale and profit. Further, Tesla could expand its total addressable market (“TAM”) by ten-fold by cutting the cost of an electric vehicle in half, according to this recent note from Sam Korus at ARK Investments.Last week, during its third-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is developing a vehicle that will sell at roughly half the price of the Model 3 and Model Y. While vehicles at price-points above $60,000 address ~5% of the total US car market, the addressable market expands to 50% at ~$30,000, as shown below.ARK InvestFurther still, Tesla has plans to launch a light truck, a semi truck and a more affordable sedan and SUV platforms. These will all contribute to economies of scale ad reduced manufacturing costs per unit. Further, Tesla’s efforts into autonomous driving software can add subscription revenue and keep the brand awareness and image high. Not to mention, Tesla’s robotaxi business add to the upside. Also notable, Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer could incrementally add value at some point in the future.Tesla’s Energy Generation and Storage segment also continues to grow. And although not yet contributing meaningfully to profits, it continues to scale and can eventually earn margins similar to Enphase (ENPH) (a long-time Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth Portfolio holding).Profitability:As Tesla continues to ramp, so too will its profitability (margins). It helps tremendously that the company is already profitable—something many other high-growth companies cannot say (see our earlier top growth stock tables), considering rising interest rates make for a more challenging capital markets environment. Here is a look at the company’s most recent quarterly income statement (as you can see costs are not rising as rapidly as revenues, thereby improving margins and profitability).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationAlso very important, Tesla has a healthy balance sheet (see below). In particular, the company has more current assets than total liabilities (a good thing with rates rising and considering a significant portion of debt comes due in the next few years.Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationTesla does not pay a dividend and has not been repurchasing shares, both good things considering the growth potential is attractive. Specifically, with a return on invested capital above the cost of capital, Tesla has wisely been reinvesting in itself.Valuation:Unlike other growth businesses that have sold off hard over the last year (as the fed has become increasingly hawkish), Tesla is actually profitable and margins are improving. This is a very good thing, but it’s also critically important to acknowledge Tesla’s high uncertainly and volatility (as compared to the auto industry and the overall S&P 500, as you can get some feel for in the graphics below).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationAssigning an exact valuation to Tesla given the high volatility, growth and uncertainty (Tesla is not a boring predictable company like Procter & Gamble (PG) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)) is a challenging endeavor with resulting numbers varying widely based on cost of capital, return on capital invested and growth rate assumptions. That said, it can be worthwhile to compare Tesla’s margins, growth rate, profitability and valuation metrics to other large companies, as shown in the table below.StockRoverA few notable things in the table above, Tesla is actually profitable (that’s more than a lot of other high-growth stocks can say) and even though its forward P/E ratio is way above other automakers, so is its expected growth rate much higher. Further, Tesla’s cost of capital is well below its return on invested capital, and its net margins are already very impressive (much better than GM and Ford) and expected to keep improving as economies of scale grow for Tesla.For a little more perspective, the 33 Wall Street analysts covering the shares have an aggregate “Buy” rating, and many of them have price targets significantly higher than the current share price (which is down over 70% in the last year).Seeking AlphaIn our view, if Tesla continues on its current growth trajectory (a very big “if”) the shares can easily trade dramatically higher, as earnings are set to grow dramatically. And even if the growth rate comes in lower than expected (but still remains relatively high) the shares are still undervalued. From a high level, the market seems overly pessimistic on Tesla relative to its long-term earnings power and value (perhaps a near-term phenomenon related to the woke mob’s increasing contempt for CEO, Elon Musk).Risk Factors:Woke Mob Fury: In case you haven’t noticed, Tesla is a volatile stock that gets a lot of media attention, particularly from the environmentally-focused woke mob. As alluded to earlier, the woke mob created significant political pressure that led to the emissions credits and other government-sponsored incentives that have helped Tesla become the large company it is today. However, the woke mob’s opinion of Tesla is changing rapidly.For starters, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter (a major source for information distribution) has upset many from a political standpoint because they preferred the views of prior Twitter leadership. This has created significant negative media attention for Musk and for Tesla. For example, according to this NBC News article:“Elon Musk’s uneasy relationship with the left explodes over Twitter takeover… Musk has helped expand America's use of electric vehicles. The left has found a lot of other things to dislike about him.”Further, Musk's recent sanctioning of the Twitter Files has increased the heat on him and his companies.Related, Tesla continues to receive low ESG (Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) ratings, while large oil and gas companies are increasingly receiving better ratings. For example, see: How Does Tesla Get A Worse ESG Score Than 2 Oil Companies?TwitterHowever, given the momentum of EV adoption, we expect negative sentiment to create more short-term pressure than long-term pressure. Further still, as constituents work to increase the use of alternative energy sources in the grid, this will decrease the fossil fuel footprint of electric vehicles (although fossil fuels will likely remain the major energy source for decades to come).Key-Man Risk: CEO Elon Musk splits his time between Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX and The Boring Company. This creates significant demands on his time and could detract from performance (although Musk is reported to be searching for a new Twitter CEO). Further still, Musk owns a significant percentage of Tesla’s shares, which he has recently reduced to fund his Twitter acquisition. Musk sales can negatively impact the share price.Competition: Traditional automakers are shifting heavily towards EV production which creates increased competition for Tesla. This could cause Tesla’s growth rate to slow. Some pundits argue that Tesla’s valuation multiple should be more in-line with traditional automakers, despite Tesla’s higher growth rate, higher margins and more expansive innovation.Battery Prices: According to some, battery and solar panel prices will decline faster than Tesla can reduce costs, resulting in little to no profit in this areas.EV Adoption: The magnitude of EV adoption may not be as great as expected. Some drivers may simply prefer to stick with their gas powered vehicles.Regulatory Risks: Tesla has historically relied heavily on subsidies and incentives. This may make future growth more challenging. Further, some states are requiring car makes and dealers to be separate, which could create legal challenges for Tesla.Macro Headwinds: Macroeconomic headwinds, as described earlier, are a significant risk factor for Tesla. Interest rates are higher, economic growth is slowing and the economy is expected to enter an ugly recession. This could dramatically slow growth, although stock prices generally recover faster than the economy.Key Takeaways and Conclusions:Tesla is profitable, growing rapidly and significantly undervalued. However, that doesn’t mean the shares won’t keep falling (the woke mob is angry, and this is bad for public perception). Further, the indiscriminate growth stock selloff continues, especially with recession looming and no “fed put” in sight.However, Tesla has the fundamental growth characteristics that Future Fund likes (it’s ranked #1 in that fund). It also ranks above the 90th percentile (a good thing) in our fundamental growth score table above. Further still, Tesla apparently has the long-term rainmaker characteristics that ARK Innovation ETF likes (it’s ranked #3 in that fund).If you are a low-risk, income-focused investor, stay the heck away from Tesla!

The labor market has remained strong since the Fed embarked last March on its fastest interest rate-hiking since the 1980s.</p><p>Rate-sensitive industries like housing and finance, as well as technology companies, including Twitter, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a> and Facebook parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta</a> have slashed jobs, yet airlines, hotels, restaurants and bars are desperate for workers as the leisure and hospitality industries continue to recover from the pandemic.</p><p>Labor market resilience has underpinned the economy by sustaining consumer spending, but could prompt the Fed to lift its target interest rate above the 5.1% peak the U.S. central bank projected last month and keep it there for a while.</p><p>&#34;All indications are that the labor market remains strong,&#34; said Sung Won Sohn, a finance and economics professor at</p><p>Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. &#34;Leisure and hospitality employers are not able to get anybody even after wages have been going up. That pattern has and will continue for a while, so that&#39;s where the rubber hits the road.&#34;</p><p>The survey of business establishments is likely to show that nonfarm payrolls increased by 200,000 jobs last month after rising 263,000 in November, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

These typically once-in-a-decade events allow opportunistic investors to pounce on innovative, game-changing companies at a discount. And with Wall Street taking a drubbing last year, bargains abound -- if you&#39;re willing to do some digging.</p><p>As we move headlong into a new year filled with uncertainty, the following seven sensational stocks stand as being capable of doubling your money in 2023.</p><h2>1. Novavax</h2><p>The first phenomenal stock that has the potential to deliver triple-digit returns for its shareholders in the new year is biotech stock <b>Novavax</b>. Since hitting its all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic, shares of Novavax have plunged as much as 97%. But with its market cap down to $874 million, there are an abundance of reasons to believe Novavax could &#34;shoot&#34; higher.</p><p>Novavax is one of a handful of drug developers that earned acclaim by running clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. But unlike a majority of drugmakers, it was one of only three -- along with <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b> and <b>Moderna</b> -- to achieve at least a 90% vaccine efficacy with its vaccine, NVX-CoV2373.</p><p>The Novavax vaccine is also differentiated by its mechanism of action. Instead of being messenger-RNA-based, as with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, NVX-CoV2373 uses older technology and bits of spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus to teach a person&#39;s immune system how to recognize and fight the infection. For people who might be leery of taking an mRNA-based vaccine, Novavax provides a high-efficacy solution in developed and emerging markets.</p><p>In 2023, COVID-19 vaccine sales in the U.S. moved from advanced purchase agreements with the federal government to the private market. I expect this to improve Novavax&#39;s pricing power and help it better compete as an initial series and/or booster option.</p><p>Additionally, Novavax is sitting on an absolute mountain of cash. It ended September with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which was prior to its recent gross proceeds raise of $250 million from the sale of shares and convertible debt. This provides more-than-enough capital to run clinical studies involving NVX-CoV2373 as a combination therapy (influenza + COVID-19), as well as further its influenza and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidates.</p><h2>2. Green Thumb Industries</h2><p>A second high-caliber stock that can double your money in 2023 is U.S. cannabis multi-state operator (MSO) <b>Green Thumb Industries</b>. Although a lack of cannabis reform on Capitol Hill has been a buzzkill for pot stocks, Green Thumb Industries&#39; growth strategy has proved unstoppable.</p><p>Before digging into company specifics, it&#39;s important to note two macro factors working in Green Thumb&#39;s favor. First, approximately three-quarters of U.S. states have legalized marijuana in some capacity. This provides more-than-enough opportunity for MSOs to grow their sales and push toward profitability.</p><p>Second, cannabis has been treated as a nondiscretionary good. Even if the U.S. dips into a recession this year, history has shown that consumers will continue to buy pot products.</p><p>Green Thumb Industries had 77 operating dispensaries open as of Dec. 1, 2022, with a presence in 15 legalized states. It holds enough retail licenses in its back pocket to effectively double its retail-store presence over time. With BDSA forecasting an increase in legal U.S. weed sales to $42 billion by 2026 from an estimated $27 billion in 2022, Green Thumb looks like it&#39;s in great shape.</p><p>The secret sauce that makes Green Thumb tick is its revenue mix. While dried cannabis flower is most often associated with marijuana use, more than half of Green Thumb&#39;s revenue comes from derivative products, such as vapes, edibles, dabs, beverages, pre-rolls, and health and beauty products. These are higher-priced products that deliver much juicier margins than dried cannabis flower. This revenue mix is precisely why Green Thumb has delivered nine consecutive quarters of profit, based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).</p><p>With marijuana stocks getting thrashed to end the year following the exclusion of the SAFE Banking Act from the federal annual defense bill, now is the time to pounce on this industry leader.</p><h2>3. Bark</h2><p>For something way off the radar that can double your money in 2023, say hello to dog-focused products-and-services company <b>Bark</b>. Like virtually every other company that was brought to market via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2020 and 2021, Bark has been decimated since making its public debut. But thanks to an unstoppable trend and the expectation of an improving income statement, the company has the tools needed to double shareholders&#39; money in 2023.</p><p>Though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, the U.S. pet industry hasn&#39;t seemed to care. It&#39;s been well over a quarter century since year-over-year pet expenditures declined in the United States, according to data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA). What&#39;s more, the percentage of households that own a pet is higher now than at any point since the APPA began its survey on pet ownership in 1988. (Translation: Pet owners willingly open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their four-legged family members.)</p><p>What makes Bark so special is the company&#39;s direct-to-consumer (DTC) focus. While the company&#39;s revenue breakdown can be fluid, depending on when orders are placed, it&#39;s pretty common for Bark to generate about 10% of its revenue from brick-and-mortar retail stores. The remainder comes from the company&#39;s 2.24 million (and growing) active subscriptions.</p><p>A DTC-driven operating model lends to highly predictable cash flow and helps keep inventory levels from getting out of hand. In other words, Bark&#39;s operating model should lead to lower overhead costs than its peers.</p><p>Furthermore, Bark has seen strong add-on sales growth since introducing Bark Bright (a dental-products offering) during the pandemic. With the addition of Bark Eats, a dry-food subscription service catered to specific dog breeds, Bark should be able to substantially narrow its losses while maintaining a gross margin of around 60% in the coming quarters.</p><h2>4. PubMatic</h2><p>Another sensational stock with the competitive advantages necessary to double your money in 2023 is cloud-based adtech company <b>PubMatic</b>. While ad spending during the first half of the year could be dicey -- which isn&#39;t uncommon when economic uncertainty is high -- PubMatic finds itself perfectly positioned to take advantage of a shift in spending to digital platforms.</p><p>Prior to the advent of the internet, the buying and selling of ads and ad space was time-consuming and inefficient. But thanks to the internet and companies like PubMatic, programmatic ad platforms now do virtually all of the work. The digital ad industry (i.e., video, mobile, connected TV (CTV), and over-the-top programmatic ads) is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 14% through 2025.</p><p>PubMatic is a sell-side platform (SSP) that helps companies sell their digital display space to advertisers. As a result of consolidation, there aren&#39;t too many SSPs left, which puts PubMatic in an advantageous position within the space.</p><p>Although advertisers are upping their spending across all digital channels, the fastest growth has been seen with CTV. Not coincidentally, CTV accounts for a substantial portion of PubMatic&#39;s revenue, which is why it has consistently grown at a faster organic rate than the industry average.</p><p>In addition, PubMatic made the choice to design and build its own cloud-based programmatic ad platform. Though costly and time-consuming, this decision will allow the company to reap the rewards of higher operating margins as its revenue scales.</p><p>One final note: PubMatic ended September with $166.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with no debt. This means it has an enterprise value of just over $500 million, despite an industry-topping double-digit growth rate and recurring profits.</p><h2>5. Lovesac</h2><p>The fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer <b>Lovesac</b>. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said &#34;furniture retailer,&#34; because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.</p><p>One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac <i>is</i> its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac&#39;s products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.</p><p>Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. The functionality and optionality offered by Lovesac is unmatched.</p><p>Lovesac&#39;s operating model generally caters to middle- and upper-income millennials. These are folks who tend to appreciate Lovesac&#39;s ESG (environmental, social, and governance<i>) </i>tendencies. More importantly, the buying habits of these people tend to be less affected when minor economic downturns arise or inflation picks up. In short, Lovesac&#39;s business is unlikely to be hit as hard by high inflation or a recession as traditional furniture retailers.</p><p>But what&#39;s really allowed Lovesac to shine is its omnichannel sales approach. Despite having 189 retail locations spanning 40 states, it&#39;s been able to shift its sales online or utilize popup showrooms and a handful of brand-name partnerships, to bolster its sales. Similar to Bark, Lovesac has been able to use its DTC presence to lower its overhead expenses and push to full-year profitability.</p><p>In 2023, Lovesac&#39;s biggest catalyst looks like it will be inventory reduction. Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand. If Lovesac can maintain its double-digit organic growth rate, working through its inventory shouldn&#39;t be a problem.</p><h2>6. Petco Health &amp; Wellness</h2><p>The next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer <b>Petco Health and Wellness</b>. That&#39;s right, this list is doubling down on pet owners&#39; willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled &#34;family members&#34; in the new year.</p><p>Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company&#39;s disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.</p><p>Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores. This deal was for Thrive&#39;s 50% stake in that joint venture.</p><p>But as noted, spending on pets has effectively been recession-proof since the mid-1990s. While growth slowdowns are certainly possible, a record level of pet ownership in the wake of the pandemic bodes well for companies like Petco.</p><p>What&#39;s far more important is that Petco&#39;s focus on subscription services and digital sales is beginning to pay off. Even though in-store interactions will continue to generate the bulk of the company&#39;s sales, the pandemic taught Petco&#39;s management team the importance of having a beefed-up online presence. Digital sales were up 10% from the prior-year period in the company&#39;s fiscal quarter ended Oct. 29, 2022, and 42% when looking back two years.</p><p>In terms of subscriptions, the company now has north of 400,000 Vital Care members. Vital Care provides members discounts on various products, grooming, and routine vet exams and has seen its recurring revenue jump 56% from the previous year. If Petco can sustain strong double-digit recurring revenue and subscription growth in 2023, it could reasonably reverse course and retrace all of its losses from last year.</p><h2>7. Redfin</h2><p>Last but not least, consider technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> as a stock that can double your money in 2023.</p><p>There&#39;s absolutely no sugarcoating how poor the past year and change has been for real estate-focused businesses. Redfin has lost approximately 96% of its value since reaching its all-time high, and rapidly rising mortgage rates are doing the industry no favors.</p><p>A report from the company notes that home sales plummeted 35% in November from the prior-year period, the largest decline on record. And new listings plunged 28%, which is the second-largest year-over-year drop in history.</p><p>Despite this abysmal data, it&#39;s plausible that pessimists have overshot to the downside, considering the competitive advantages Redfin offers when compared to traditional real estate firms.</p><p>For example, traditional real estate companies and agents charge anywhere from 2.5% to 3% for their services. Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).</p><p>Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin&#39;s gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.</p><p>The final consideration with Redfin is that it&#39;s exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow. This segment purchased homes for cash, which were later resold.</p><p>Ending this program and paring down its portfolio of assets will bolster the company&#39;s cash position while lowering expenses. Management believes this combination of cost-cutting and refocusing on its bread-and-butter internet service-based advantages can lead the company to a profitable year in 2024.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-04 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19%...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","GTBIF":"Green Thumb Industries Inc.","BARK":"The Original Bark Corp.","PUBM":"PubMatic, Inc.","RDFN":"Redfin Corp","WOOF":"Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc.","LOVE":"Lovesac Co."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2300434056","content_text":"Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19% and 33%, respectively -- bear markets are known to be blessings in disguise. These typically once-in-a-decade events allow opportunistic investors to pounce on innovative, game-changing companies at a discount. And with Wall Street taking a drubbing last year, bargains abound -- if you're willing to do some digging.As we move headlong into a new year filled with uncertainty, the following seven sensational stocks stand as being capable of doubling your money in 2023.1. NovavaxThe first phenomenal stock that has the potential to deliver triple-digit returns for its shareholders in the new year is biotech stock Novavax. Since hitting its all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic, shares of Novavax have plunged as much as 97%. But with its market cap down to $874 million, there are an abundance of reasons to believe Novavax could \"shoot\" higher.Novavax is one of a handful of drug developers that earned acclaim by running clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. But unlike a majority of drugmakers, it was one of only three -- along with Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna -- to achieve at least a 90% vaccine efficacy with its vaccine, NVX-CoV2373.The Novavax vaccine is also differentiated by its mechanism of action. Instead of being messenger-RNA-based, as with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, NVX-CoV2373 uses older technology and bits of spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus to teach a person's immune system how to recognize and fight the infection. For people who might be leery of taking an mRNA-based vaccine, Novavax provides a high-efficacy solution in developed and emerging markets.In 2023, COVID-19 vaccine sales in the U.S. moved from advanced purchase agreements with the federal government to the private market. I expect this to improve Novavax's pricing power and help it better compete as an initial series and/or booster option.Additionally, Novavax is sitting on an absolute mountain of cash. It ended September with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which was prior to its recent gross proceeds raise of $250 million from the sale of shares and convertible debt. This provides more-than-enough capital to run clinical studies involving NVX-CoV2373 as a combination therapy (influenza + COVID-19), as well as further its influenza and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidates.2. Green Thumb IndustriesA second high-caliber stock that can double your money in 2023 is U.S. cannabis multi-state operator (MSO) Green Thumb Industries. Although a lack of cannabis reform on Capitol Hill has been a buzzkill for pot stocks, Green Thumb Industries' growth strategy has proved unstoppable.Before digging into company specifics, it's important to note two macro factors working in Green Thumb's favor. First, approximately three-quarters of U.S. states have legalized marijuana in some capacity. This provides more-than-enough opportunity for MSOs to grow their sales and push toward profitability.Second, cannabis has been treated as a nondiscretionary good. Even if the U.S. dips into a recession this year, history has shown that consumers will continue to buy pot products.Green Thumb Industries had 77 operating dispensaries open as of Dec. 1, 2022, with a presence in 15 legalized states. It holds enough retail licenses in its back pocket to effectively double its retail-store presence over time. With BDSA forecasting an increase in legal U.S. weed sales to $42 billion by 2026 from an estimated $27 billion in 2022, Green Thumb looks like it's in great shape.The secret sauce that makes Green Thumb tick is its revenue mix. While dried cannabis flower is most often associated with marijuana use, more than half of Green Thumb's revenue comes from derivative products, such as vapes, edibles, dabs, beverages, pre-rolls, and health and beauty products. These are higher-priced products that deliver much juicier margins than dried cannabis flower. This revenue mix is precisely why Green Thumb has delivered nine consecutive quarters of profit, based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).With marijuana stocks getting thrashed to end the year following the exclusion of the SAFE Banking Act from the federal annual defense bill, now is the time to pounce on this industry leader.3. BarkFor something way off the radar that can double your money in 2023, say hello to dog-focused products-and-services company Bark. Like virtually every other company that was brought to market via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2020 and 2021, Bark has been decimated since making its public debut. But thanks to an unstoppable trend and the expectation of an improving income statement, the company has the tools needed to double shareholders' money in 2023.Though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, the U.S. pet industry hasn't seemed to care. It's been well over a quarter century since year-over-year pet expenditures declined in the United States, according to data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA). What's more, the percentage of households that own a pet is higher now than at any point since the APPA began its survey on pet ownership in 1988. (Translation: Pet owners willingly open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their four-legged family members.)What makes Bark so special is the company's direct-to-consumer (DTC) focus. While the company's revenue breakdown can be fluid, depending on when orders are placed, it's pretty common for Bark to generate about 10% of its revenue from brick-and-mortar retail stores. The remainder comes from the company's 2.24 million (and growing) active subscriptions.A DTC-driven operating model lends to highly predictable cash flow and helps keep inventory levels from getting out of hand. In other words, Bark's operating model should lead to lower overhead costs than its peers.Furthermore, Bark has seen strong add-on sales growth since introducing Bark Bright (a dental-products offering) during the pandemic. With the addition of Bark Eats, a dry-food subscription service catered to specific dog breeds, Bark should be able to substantially narrow its losses while maintaining a gross margin of around 60% in the coming quarters.4. PubMaticAnother sensational stock with the competitive advantages necessary to double your money in 2023 is cloud-based adtech company PubMatic. While ad spending during the first half of the year could be dicey -- which isn't uncommon when economic uncertainty is high -- PubMatic finds itself perfectly positioned to take advantage of a shift in spending to digital platforms.Prior to the advent of the internet, the buying and selling of ads and ad space was time-consuming and inefficient. But thanks to the internet and companies like PubMatic, programmatic ad platforms now do virtually all of the work. The digital ad industry (i.e., video, mobile, connected TV (CTV), and over-the-top programmatic ads) is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 14% through 2025.PubMatic is a sell-side platform (SSP) that helps companies sell their digital display space to advertisers. As a result of consolidation, there aren't too many SSPs left, which puts PubMatic in an advantageous position within the space.Although advertisers are upping their spending across all digital channels, the fastest growth has been seen with CTV. Not coincidentally, CTV accounts for a substantial portion of PubMatic's revenue, which is why it has consistently grown at a faster organic rate than the industry average.In addition, PubMatic made the choice to design and build its own cloud-based programmatic ad platform. Though costly and time-consuming, this decision will allow the company to reap the rewards of higher operating margins as its revenue scales.One final note: PubMatic ended September with $166.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with no debt. This means it has an enterprise value of just over $500 million, despite an industry-topping double-digit growth rate and recurring profits.5. LovesacThe fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer Lovesac. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said \"furniture retailer,\" because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac is its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac's products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. The functionality and optionality offered by Lovesac is unmatched.Lovesac's operating model generally caters to middle- and upper-income millennials. These are folks who tend to appreciate Lovesac's ESG (environmental, social, and governance) tendencies. More importantly, the buying habits of these people tend to be less affected when minor economic downturns arise or inflation picks up. In short, Lovesac's business is unlikely to be hit as hard by high inflation or a recession as traditional furniture retailers.But what's really allowed Lovesac to shine is its omnichannel sales approach. Despite having 189 retail locations spanning 40 states, it's been able to shift its sales online or utilize popup showrooms and a handful of brand-name partnerships, to bolster its sales. Similar to Bark, Lovesac has been able to use its DTC presence to lower its overhead expenses and push to full-year profitability.In 2023, Lovesac's biggest catalyst looks like it will be inventory reduction. Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand. If Lovesac can maintain its double-digit organic growth rate, working through its inventory shouldn't be a problem.6. Petco Health & WellnessThe next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer Petco Health and Wellness. That's right, this list is doubling down on pet owners' willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled \"family members\" in the new year.Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company's disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores. This deal was for Thrive's 50% stake in that joint venture.But as noted, spending on pets has effectively been recession-proof since the mid-1990s. While growth slowdowns are certainly possible, a record level of pet ownership in the wake of the pandemic bodes well for companies like Petco.What's far more important is that Petco's focus on subscription services and digital sales is beginning to pay off.

If Petco can sustain strong double-digit recurring revenue and subscription growth in 2023, it could reasonably reverse course and retrace all of its losses from last year.7. RedfinLast but not least, consider technology-driven real estate company Redfin as a stock that can double your money in 2023.There's absolutely no sugarcoating how poor the past year and change has been for real estate-focused businesses. Redfin has lost approximately 96% of its value since reaching its all-time high, and rapidly rising mortgage rates are doing the industry no favors.A report from the company notes that home sales plummeted 35% in November from the prior-year period, the largest decline on record.

Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin's gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.The final consideration with Redfin is that it's exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow.

Novavax</h2><p>The first phenomenal stock that has the potential to deliver triple-digit returns for its shareholders in the new year is biotech stock <b>Novavax</b>. Since hitting its all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic, shares of Novavax have plunged as much as 97%. But with its market cap down to $874 million, there are an abundance of reasons to believe Novavax could &#34;shoot&#34; higher.</p><p>Novavax is one of a handful of drug developers that earned acclaim by running clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. But unlike a majority of drugmakers, it was one of only three -- along with <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b> and <b>Moderna</b> -- to achieve at least a 90% vaccine efficacy with its vaccine, NVX-CoV2373.</p><p>The Novavax vaccine is also differentiated by its mechanism of action. Instead of being messenger-RNA-based, as with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, NVX-CoV2373 uses older technology and bits of spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus to teach a person&#39;s immune system how to recognize and fight the infection. For people who might be leery of taking an mRNA-based vaccine, Novavax provides a high-efficacy solution in developed and emerging markets.</p><p>In 2023, COVID-19 vaccine sales in the U.S. moved from advanced purchase agreements with the federal government to the private market. I expect this to improve Novavax&#39;s pricing power and help it better compete as an initial series and/or booster option.</p><p>Additionally, Novavax is sitting on an absolute mountain of cash. It ended September with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which was prior to its recent gross proceeds raise of $250 million from the sale of shares and convertible debt. This provides more-than-enough capital to run clinical studies involving NVX-CoV2373 as a combination therapy (influenza + COVID-19), as well as further its influenza and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidates.</p><h2>2. Green Thumb Industries</h2><p>A second high-caliber stock that can double your money in 2023 is U.S. cannabis multi-state operator (MSO) <b>Green Thumb Industries</b>. Although a lack of cannabis reform on Capitol Hill has been a buzzkill for pot stocks, Green Thumb Industries&#39; growth strategy has proved unstoppable.</p><p>Before digging into company specifics, it&#39;s important to note two macro factors working in Green Thumb&#39;s favor. First, approximately three-quarters of U.S. states have legalized marijuana in some capacity. This provides more-than-enough opportunity for MSOs to grow their sales and push toward profitability.</p><p>Second, cannabis has been treated as a nondiscretionary good. Even if the U.S. dips into a recession this year, history has shown that consumers will continue to buy pot products.</p><p>Green Thumb Industries had 77 operating dispensaries open as of Dec. 1, 2022, with a presence in 15 legalized states. It holds enough retail licenses in its back pocket to effectively double its retail-store presence over time. With BDSA forecasting an increase in legal U.S. weed sales to $42 billion by 2026 from an estimated $27 billion in 2022, Green Thumb looks like it&#39;s in great shape.</p><p>The secret sauce that makes Green Thumb tick is its revenue mix. While dried cannabis flower is most often associated with marijuana use, more than half of Green Thumb&#39;s revenue comes from derivative products, such as vapes, edibles, dabs, beverages, pre-rolls, and health and beauty products. These are higher-priced products that deliver much juicier margins than dried cannabis flower. This revenue mix is precisely why Green Thumb has delivered nine consecutive quarters of profit, based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).</p><p>With marijuana stocks getting thrashed to end the year following the exclusion of the SAFE Banking Act from the federal annual defense bill, now is the time to pounce on this industry leader.</p><h2>3. Bark</h2><p>For something way off the radar that can double your money in 2023, say hello to dog-focused products-and-services company <b>Bark</b>. Like virtually every other company that was brought to market via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2020 and 2021, Bark has been decimated since making its public debut. But thanks to an unstoppable trend and the expectation of an improving income statement, the company has the tools needed to double shareholders&#39; money in 2023.</p><p>Though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, the U.S. pet industry hasn&#39;t seemed to care. It&#39;s been well over a quarter century since year-over-year pet expenditures declined in the United States, according to data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA). What&#39;s more, the percentage of households that own a pet is higher now than at any point since the APPA began its survey on pet ownership in 1988. (Translation: Pet owners willingly open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their four-legged family members.)</p><p>What makes Bark so special is the company&#39;s direct-to-consumer (DTC) focus. While the company&#39;s revenue breakdown can be fluid, depending on when orders are placed, it&#39;s pretty common for Bark to generate about 10% of its revenue from brick-and-mortar retail stores. The remainder comes from the company&#39;s 2.24 million (and growing) active subscriptions.</p><p>A DTC-driven operating model lends to highly predictable cash flow and helps keep inventory levels from getting out of hand. In other words, Bark&#39;s operating model should lead to lower overhead costs than its peers.</p><p>Furthermore, Bark has seen strong add-on sales growth since introducing Bark Bright (a dental-products offering) during the pandemic. With the addition of Bark Eats, a dry-food subscription service catered to specific dog breeds, Bark should be able to substantially narrow its losses while maintaining a gross margin of around 60% in the coming quarters.</p><h2>4. PubMatic</h2><p>Another sensational stock with the competitive advantages necessary to double your money in 2023 is cloud-based adtech company <b>PubMatic</b>. While ad spending during the first half of the year could be dicey -- which isn&#39;t uncommon when economic uncertainty is high -- PubMatic finds itself perfectly positioned to take advantage of a shift in spending to digital platforms.</p><p>Prior to the advent of the internet, the buying and selling of ads and ad space was time-consuming and inefficient. But thanks to the internet and companies like PubMatic, programmatic ad platforms now do virtually all of the work. The digital ad industry (i.e., video, mobile, connected TV (CTV), and over-the-top programmatic ads) is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 14% through 2025.</p><p>PubMatic is a sell-side platform (SSP) that helps companies sell their digital display space to advertisers. As a result of consolidation, there aren&#39;t too many SSPs left, which puts PubMatic in an advantageous position within the space.</p><p>Although advertisers are upping their spending across all digital channels, the fastest growth has been seen with CTV. Not coincidentally, CTV accounts for a substantial portion of PubMatic&#39;s revenue, which is why it has consistently grown at a faster organic rate than the industry average.</p><p>In addition, PubMatic made the choice to design and build its own cloud-based programmatic ad platform. Though costly and time-consuming, this decision will allow the company to reap the rewards of higher operating margins as its revenue scales.</p><p>One final note: PubMatic ended September with $166.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with no debt. This means it has an enterprise value of just over $500 million, despite an industry-topping double-digit growth rate and recurring profits.</p><h2>5. Lovesac</h2><p>The fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer <b>Lovesac</b>. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said &#34;furniture retailer,&#34; because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.</p><p>One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac <i>is</i> its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac&#39;s products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.</p><p>Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. The functionality and optionality offered by Lovesac is unmatched.</p><p>Lovesac&#39;s operating model generally caters to middle- and upper-income millennials. These are folks who tend to appreciate Lovesac&#39;s ESG (environmental, social, and governance<i>) </i>tendencies. More importantly, the buying habits of these people tend to be less affected when minor economic downturns arise or inflation picks up. In short, Lovesac&#39;s business is unlikely to be hit as hard by high inflation or a recession as traditional furniture retailers.</p><p>But what&#39;s really allowed Lovesac to shine is its omnichannel sales approach. Despite having 189 retail locations spanning 40 states, it&#39;s been able to shift its sales online or utilize popup showrooms and a handful of brand-name partnerships, to bolster its sales. Similar to Bark, Lovesac has been able to use its DTC presence to lower its overhead expenses and push to full-year profitability.</p><p>In 2023, Lovesac&#39;s biggest catalyst looks like it will be inventory reduction. Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand. If Lovesac can maintain its double-digit organic growth rate, working through its inventory shouldn&#39;t be a problem.</p><h2>6. Petco Health &amp; Wellness</h2><p>The next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer <b>Petco Health and Wellness</b>. That&#39;s right, this list is doubling down on pet owners&#39; willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled &#34;family members&#34; in the new year.</p><p>Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company&#39;s disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.</p><p>Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores. This deal was for Thrive&#39;s 50% stake in that joint venture.</p><p>But as noted, spending on pets has effectively been recession-proof since the mid-1990s. While growth slowdowns are certainly possible, a record level of pet ownership in the wake of the pandemic bodes well for companies like Petco.</p><p>What&#39;s far more important is that Petco&#39;s focus on subscription services and digital sales is beginning to pay off. Even though in-store interactions will continue to generate the bulk of the company&#39;s sales, the pandemic taught Petco&#39;s management team the importance of having a beefed-up online presence. Digital sales were up 10% from the prior-year period in the company&#39;s fiscal quarter ended Oct. 29, 2022, and 42% when looking back two years.</p><p>In terms of subscriptions, the company now has north of 400,000 Vital Care members. Vital Care provides members discounts on various products, grooming, and routine vet exams and has seen its recurring revenue jump 56% from the previous year. If Petco can sustain strong double-digit recurring revenue and subscription growth in 2023, it could reasonably reverse course and retrace all of its losses from last year.</p><h2>7. Redfin</h2><p>Last but not least, consider technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> as a stock that can double your money in 2023.</p><p>There&#39;s absolutely no sugarcoating how poor the past year and change has been for real estate-focused businesses. Redfin has lost approximately 96% of its value since reaching its all-time high, and rapidly rising mortgage rates are doing the industry no favors.</p><p>A report from the company notes that home sales plummeted 35% in November from the prior-year period, the largest decline on record. And new listings plunged 28%, which is the second-largest year-over-year drop in history.</p><p>Despite this abysmal data, it&#39;s plausible that pessimists have overshot to the downside, considering the competitive advantages Redfin offers when compared to traditional real estate firms.</p><p>For example, traditional real estate companies and agents charge anywhere from 2.5% to 3% for their services. Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).</p><p>Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin&#39;s gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.</p><p>The final consideration with Redfin is that it&#39;s exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow. This segment purchased homes for cash, which were later resold.</p><p>Ending this program and paring down its portfolio of assets will bolster the company&#39;s cash position while lowering expenses. Management believes this combination of cost-cutting and refocusing on its bread-and-butter internet service-based advantages can lead the company to a profitable year in 2024.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-04 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19%...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","GTBIF":"Green Thumb Industries Inc.","BARK":"The Original Bark Corp.","PUBM":"PubMatic, Inc.","RDFN":"Redfin Corp","WOOF":"Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc.","LOVE":"Lovesac Co."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2300434056","content_text":"Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19% and 33%, respectively -- bear markets are known to be blessings in disguise.

LovesacThe fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer Lovesac. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said \"furniture retailer,\" because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac is its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac's products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles.

Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand.

Petco Health & WellnessThe next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer Petco Health and Wellness. That's right, this list is doubling down on pet owners' willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled \"family members\" in the new year.Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company's disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores.

Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin's gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.The final consideration with Redfin is that it's exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow. This segment purchased homes for cash, which were later resold.Ending this program and paring down its portfolio of assets will bolster the company's cash position while lowering expenses. Management believes this combination of cost-cutting and refocusing on its bread-and-butter internet service-based advantages can lead the company to a profitable year in 2024.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":176,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9921500092,"gmtCreate":1671077686516,"gmtModify":1676538486408,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9921500092","repostId":"1145285433","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145285433","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1671070064,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145285433?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-15 10:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Sells Tesla Shares Worth $3.58 Billion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145285433","media":"Reuters","summary":"Dec 14  -

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a note on Monday that Musk had been using Tesla shares as “his own personal ATM” and that his ownership of Twitter had become an “albatross” for Tesla.“Time to end this nightmare as CEO of Twitter,” Ives wrote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":14,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9962126658,"gmtCreate":1669736850775,"gmtModify":1676538233535,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9962126658","repostId":"1173876241","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173876241","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1669735462,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173876241?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-29 23:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba: Candidate For The Record Book Of Mispriced Stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173876241","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryWhile top line growth is now close to zero, Alibaba could increase operating income, earnings","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>While top line growth is now close to zero, Alibaba could increase operating income, earnings per share, and free cash flow at a high pace.</li><li>Despite different risks continuing to exist for Alibaba, the growth potential for the different business segments remains high.</li><li>Alibaba is focusing on share buybacks, which is a good move considering its deeply undervalued share price.</li></ul><p>I must be honest. So far, my investment in as well as my articles about Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) have been nothing but a catastrophe. Since my last article, the stock price declined 31% and since the article in January 2022, the stock declined 37%. I built my position in Alibaba over time but so far, I didn’t make any money. I also must admit that I did not expect Alibaba to decline so steeply.

And while it missed on revenue expectations by $490 million, it could beat earnings per ADS by $0.17. When looking at the quarterly results, I will report the numbers in Renminbi.</p><p>Although growth slowed down, Alibaba could still increase revenue from RMB 200,690 million in the same quarter last year to RMB 207,176 million this quarter resulting in 3.2% year-over-year growth. Adjusted EBITDA increased from RMB 34,840 million in Q2/21 to RMB 43,311 million in Q2/22 – resulting in 24.3% year-over-year growth. And finally, diluted earnings per share almost quadrupled from RMB 0.25 in the same quarter last year to RMB 0.97 this quarter. When looking at non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, we saw an increase of 15% YoY from RMB 1.40 in the same quarter last year to RMB 1.61 this quarter. And finally, free cash flow increased from RMB 22,239 million in Q2/21 to RMB 35,709 million in Q2/22 – resulting in 60.6% year-over-year growth.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78baaf1cc15acbf0419b0de8a14fb12b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>When looking at the different segments, the biggest part of revenue is still stemming from China commerce, which generated RMB 135,431 million in revenue (a decline of 1% year-over-year). This segment is responsible for the biggest part of adjusted EBITDA (RMB 43,980 million). International Commerce could generate RMB 15,747 million in revenue, resulting in 4% YoY growth and Local Consumer Services generated revenue of RMB 13,073 million resulting in 21% YoY growth. However, both segments are still not profitable and generated negative EBITDA. Cloud could generate RMB 20,757 million in revenue (increasing 4% year-over-year growth) and adjusted EBITDA was RMB 434 million. Cainiao could generate revenue of RMB 13,367 million resulting in 36% year-over-year growth and after reporting a loss of in the same quarter last year the segment reported an adjusted EBITDA of RMB 125 million. And finally, Digital media and entertainment could generate RMB 8,392 million in revenue (resulting in 4% YoY growth). However, the segment was also not profitable.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e016228f4be40a684f90dd4cc0d784a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Additionally, growth from its 11.11 Global Shopping Event slowed down as well and Alibaba could only report results in line with last year’s gross merchandise volume performance. During the last earnings call, Alibaba also commented on the last Singles Day:</p><p>During our recent 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, Taobao and Tmall&#39;s total GMV was in line with the performance last year during the same period. Initial fruits of the operation strategies outlined just now were seen during November 11. More than 600 million users engaged with our November 11 related contents, a single-digit growth year-on-year. Although, the total number of buyers declined compared to the same period last year, the average GMV per person increased.</p><p>Management also mentioned three factors which had a negative impact on the results. First, the warmer than usual temperature in China probably led to fewer people shopping online. Second, about 15% of delivery areas across China experienced abnormal or suspended logistic services, which had a negative effect. And finally, other merchants were also pushing hard on 11.11 and probably took away some market share from Alibaba.</p><h3>Headwinds</h3><p>While Alibaba is talking about a solid quarter, they are also acknowledging the difficulties for Alibaba during the last earnings call:</p><p>We delivered a solid quarter in a macro environment full of uncertainty. The ongoing resurgence of COVID-19, geopolitical tension, inflation, and currency depreciation, the convergence of all these forces that created considerable difficulties for business operations.</p><p>And one of the major problems in China is still COVID-19. Right now, numbers are increasing dramatically again – and we must assume this will have a negative impact on Alibaba in the current quarter as it creates huge challenges for logistics.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5809b3db2fbbe959366e7e5747713f2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"451\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Long-Term Growth</h3><p>Growth for Alibaba is clearly slowing down right now - as it does for almost every technology company around the world. As we must assume the low growth rates (or even declining numbers) will last for several quarters (maybe even a few years) this is a temporary headwind due to the economy slowing down and the looming recession. Nevertheless, I remain confident that the long-term outlook should be bullish, and Alibaba’s management is also optimistic about the growth potential of the different business sectors.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8dbac2dcf4e4f48e3d631c3a9120bab3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The highest growth rates might be achieved by the cloud business, where Alibaba is clear market leader in China. In 2021, Alibaba had a market share of 37% ahead of competitors Huawei – which has a market share of 18% - and Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) – which has a market share of 17%. And while I don’t think Alibaba will be able to gain market shares (as other, strong competitors are moving in the space), the public cloud market is expected to triple in the coming years – and Alibaba can achieve high growth rates by just keeping its market share stable. In a study about the Chinese cloud market, McKinsey writes:</p><p>To date, China’s cloud adoption has been led largely by consumer-facing companies, which need elastic, on-demand access to unlimited computing power to help them respond to huge fluctuations in customer demand. During China’s Singles’ Day shopping festival, for instance, e-commerce traffic, transactions, and gross merchandise volumes can reach up to 30 times normal daily levels. (…) Consumer-driven growth will remain an important driver of cloud adoption, but we believe the next wave of migration could be spearheaded by China’s critical industrial and manufacturing sectors.</p><p>But not only the cloud business of Alibaba can grow at a high pace. Its China commerce business, which is generating most of Alibaba’s revenue and responsible for its profitability, also has growth potential going forward – despite the declining Chinese population. While the population is declining, the share of Chinese population living in poverty is also declining. And I am already using the definitions of poverty adopted in upper-middle-income countries. In 2019, about 25% of population still lived in poverty in China (in urban areas only 16%). And with that percentage continuing to go down, the number of potential shoppers for Alibaba will increase.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/baff5be28b9b9bfc4dfdd1e92c109996\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"451\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>In my last article about JD.com, Inc., I already mentioned that Chinese consumers are expected to shop more online in the years to come. According to an Accenture study about Chinese consumer insights, most people will either keep their personal frequency of online shopping unchanged (49%) or increase the frequency of online shopping (44%).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92ae88cd63f9723d8ed8ec370eebccf7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>And the same study is also showing that the per capita disposable income of urban residents is continuously increasing during the last decade. And even when per capita consumption expenditures declined slightly in 2020 (due to COVID-19), this number is also increasing with a steady pace.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f02c27b7c2c4f411e620779d9dfe359\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"507\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>International Commerce is also expected to grow with a high pace. Alibaba is focusing on the South Asia e-commerce market, which is expected to grow with a high pace. The market size will increase with a CAGR of 27% between 2020 and 2025 to $260 billion (according to Alibaba’s Investor Day 2021 presentation). And Lazada is not only well-positioned, but it also continued to improve monetization rate and was also enhancing operating efficiency. Additionally, during the last quarter, loss per order for Lazada narrowed by 25% compared to the same quarter last year. And the International commerce segment is close to being profitable.</p><p>And finally, we should not forget the economic moat Alibaba has built around its business. During the last earnings call, management made the following statement:</p><p>After many years of operation, Taobao, Tmall is now deeply entrenched in our users&#39; mind as the shopping destination. We are focused on user engagement on our platform by enhancing the customer journey across search, algorithm-driven discovery recommendations, live streaming and other engagement features (…)</p><p>Number two, we further consolidate the scale and the stickiness of our most valuable consumer group. For the 12 months ended December 30, 2022, the number of consumers who each spent over RMB 10,000 on top on Taobao and Tmall remain around 124 million with a retention rate of 98%. 88VIP membership population held steady at 25 million this quarter, with solid membership retention and growth in GMV contribution.</p><p>Number three, we improved consumer satisfaction by continually investing in customer service during and after services and the logistics service experiences, such as doorstep delivery of orders as required.</p><p>Alibaba clearly has a wide economic moat based on cost advantages – the company is one of the major e-commerce players in China and the cost advantages are hard to match by smaller competitors. Aside from cost advantages, Alibaba is also profiting from its brand name(s) and for its cloud business switching costs come into play. After choosing a cloud service it usually costs time and money (which businesses are not willing to spend) to move to a competitor – and this is creating a stickiness in favor of Alibaba.</p><h3>Share Repurchases</h3><p>In the last few quarters, Alibaba increased its share repurchase program, which was certainly a good move by Alibaba considering the steeply declining share price. Since June 2021 (15 months ago), the number of outstanding shares was decreased from 2,755 million to 2,646 million right now – resulting in a decline of 4%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0af5c02ed6507d0f66fc07aaed807035\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"435\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>And it is good that Alibaba is buying back shares and the remaining $7 billion share repurchase program was extended by another $15 billion. But in my opinion, they should be more aggressive and use the cash reserves for share buybacks – at least in parts. On September 30, 2022, the company had RMB 206.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents as well as RMB 270.2 billion in short-term investments. At current share prices, the company could repurchase 32% of its outstanding shares and Alibaba should certainly not use all its liquid resources for share buybacks. But using cash to repurchase about 10% of outstanding shares would be a smart move in my opinion. Additionally, Alibaba is generating enough free cash flow annually to repurchase more than 10% of the outstanding shares (of course this will change with a higher share price).</p><h3>Intrinsic Value Calculation</h3><p>In every single one of my articles, I basically argued that Alibaba is undervalued. And I will stick to my guns – the company is undervalued and remains undervalued. Even when calculating with extremely cautious assumptions, Alibaba is clearly trading below its intrinsic value.</p><p>In the last two quarters, Alibaba generated a free cash flow of $8,137 million and in the last annual results the company reported a free cash flow of $15,597 million. As basis for our calculation, we therefore assume a free cash flow of $16 billion. And for the years to come, we assume 6% growth till perpetuity which leads to an intrinsic value of $151.23 for Alibaba.</p><p>And – like I said above – theses assumptions are extremely cautious. Not only did Alibaba report already much higher free cash flow numbers in the past (as high as $26 billion), it also reported much higher growth rates in the past. And for the years to come there are several growth drivers: First, Alibaba will be able to grow its top line again (see section above). Second, despite constantly declining margins in the past, the business will at some point be able to reduce the current high spendings on expansions and be more profitable again. And finally, Alibaba can use share buybacks (especially right now) and spend its cash on the balance sheet as well as the generated free cash flow to repurchase shares. This by itself is enough to lead to 6% growth right now.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/66d4ee3047c7afdae4d9e6591ea506f8\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>And finally, we should not forget, that Alibaba is trading for a P/FCF ratio of 8.7 right now – although free cash flow declined almost 50% compared to previous levels. These are absurd valuation levels for a business as Alibaba – despite risks surrounding the business.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>I know I have been wrong about Alibaba in the last few quarters. But first of all, the horrible stock performance of the last few quarters does not mean my thesis – which is based on the fundamentals of the business – is wrong. And second, investing is a marathon and not a sprint. I remain extremely bullish about Alibaba.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba: Candidate For The Record Book Of Mispriced Stocks</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAlibaba: Candidate For The Record Book Of Mispriced Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-29 23:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4561046-alibaba-candidate-for-the-record-book-of-mispriced-stocks><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryWhile top line growth is now close to zero, Alibaba could increase operating income, earnings per share, and free cash flow at a high pace.Despite different risks continuing to exist for ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4561046-alibaba-candidate-for-the-record-book-of-mispriced-stocks\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BABA":"阿里巴巴"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4561046-alibaba-candidate-for-the-record-book-of-mispriced-stocks","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1173876241","content_text":"SummaryWhile top line growth is now close to zero, Alibaba could increase operating income, earnings per share, and free cash flow at a high pace.Despite different risks continuing to exist for Alibaba, the growth potential for the different business segments remains high.Alibaba is focusing on share buybacks, which is a good move considering its deeply undervalued share price.I must be honest.

Right now, numbers are increasing dramatically again – and we must assume this will have a negative impact on Alibaba in the current quarter as it creates huge challenges for logistics.Long-Term GrowthGrowth for Alibaba is clearly slowing down right now - as it does for almost every technology company around the world. As we must assume the low growth rates (or even declining numbers) will last for several quarters (maybe even a few years) this is a temporary headwind due to the economy slowing down and the looming recession. Nevertheless, I remain confident that the long-term outlook should be bullish, and Alibaba’s management is also optimistic about the growth potential of the different business sectors.The highest growth rates might be achieved by the cloud business, where Alibaba is clear market leader in China.

In 2019, about 25% of population still lived in poverty in China (in urban areas only 16%).

We are focused on user engagement on our platform by enhancing the customer journey across search, algorithm-driven discovery recommendations, live streaming and other engagement features (…)Number two, we further consolidate the scale and the stickiness of our most valuable consumer group. For the 12 months ended December 30, 2022, the number of consumers who each spent over RMB 10,000 on top on Taobao and Tmall remain around 124 million with a retention rate of 98%. 88VIP membership population held steady at 25 million this quarter, with solid membership retention and growth in GMV contribution.Number three, we improved consumer satisfaction by continually investing in customer service during and after services and the logistics service experiences, such as doorstep delivery of orders as required.Alibaba clearly has a wide economic moat based on cost advantages – the company is one of the major e-commerce players in China and the cost advantages are hard to match by smaller competitors. Aside from cost advantages, Alibaba is also profiting from its brand name(s) and for its cloud business switching costs come into play. After choosing a cloud service it usually costs time and money (which businesses are not willing to spend) to move to a competitor – and this is creating a stickiness in favor of Alibaba.Share RepurchasesIn the last few quarters, Alibaba increased its share repurchase program, which was certainly a good move by Alibaba considering the steeply declining share price. Since June 2021 (15 months ago), the number of outstanding shares was decreased from 2,755 million to 2,646 million right now – resulting in a decline of 4%.And it is good that Alibaba is buying back shares and the remaining $7 billion share repurchase program was extended by another $15 billion. But in my opinion, they should be more aggressive and use the cash reserves for share buybacks – at least in parts. On September 30, 2022, the company had RMB 206.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents as well as RMB 270.2 billion in short-term investments. At current share prices, the company could repurchase 32% of its outstanding shares and Alibaba should certainly not use all its liquid resources for share buybacks. But using cash to repurchase about 10% of outstanding shares would be a smart move in my opinion. Additionally, Alibaba is generating enough free cash flow annually to repurchase more than 10% of the outstanding shares (of course this will change with a higher share price).Intrinsic Value CalculationIn every single one of my articles, I basically argued that Alibaba is undervalued. And I will stick to my guns – the company is undervalued and remains undervalued. Even when calculating with extremely cautious assumptions, Alibaba is clearly trading below its intrinsic value.In the last two quarters, Alibaba generated a free cash flow of $8,137 million and in the last annual results the company reported a free cash flow of $15,597 million. As basis for our calculation, we therefore assume a free cash flow of $16 billion. And for the years to come, we assume 6% growth till perpetuity which leads to an intrinsic value of $151.23 for Alibaba.And – like I said above – theses assumptions are extremely cautious. Not only did Alibaba report already much higher free cash flow numbers in the past (as high as $26 billion), it also reported much higher growth rates in the past. And for the years to come there are several growth drivers: First, Alibaba will be able to grow its top line again (see section above). Second, despite constantly declining margins in the past, the business will at some point be able to reduce the current high spendings on expansions and be more profitable again. And finally, Alibaba can use share buybacks (especially right now) and spend its cash on the balance sheet as well as the generated free cash flow to repurchase shares. This by itself is enough to lead to 6% growth right now.And finally, we should not forget, that Alibaba is trading for a P/FCF ratio of 8.7 right now – although free cash flow declined almost 50% compared to previous levels. These are absurd valuation levels for a business as Alibaba – despite risks surrounding the business.ConclusionI know I have been wrong about Alibaba in the last few quarters. But first of all, the horrible stock performance of the last few quarters does not mean my thesis – which is based on the fundamentals of the business – is wrong. And second, investing is a marathon and not a sprint. I remain extremely bullish about Alibaba.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":233,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9960401910,"gmtCreate":1668217510431,"gmtModify":1676538029844,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9960401910","repostId":"2282487043","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2282487043","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1668213163,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2282487043?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-12 08:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Nasdaq and S&P 500 End Higher, Fueled By Inflation Optimism","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2282487043","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Growth stocks lead value, Nasdaq rallies* Nasdaq and S&P 500 gain for second dayNov 11 (Reuters) -","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Growth stocks lead value, Nasdaq rallies</p><p>* Nasdaq and S&amp;P 500 gain for second day</p><p>Nov 11 (Reuters) - The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq ended higher on Friday, extending a rally started the day before after a soft inflation reading raised hopes the Federal Reserve would get less aggressive with U.S. interest rate hikes.</p><p>Amazon jumped, with Apple and Microsoft also making gains and contributing to the Nasdaq&#39;s strong gain.</p><p>On Thursday, the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq racked up their biggest daily percentage gains in more than 2-1/2 years as annual inflation slipped below 8% for the first time in eight months.</p><p>Declines in healthcare stocks weighed on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, with UnitedHealth Group down for the day.</p><p>&#34;What we&#39;re really seeing today is simply a follow-through on yesterday.

The market environment is more than a little rocky this year, though, and Buffett&#39;s philosophy is proving itself once again. Whereas the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has been rather deep in the red over the past year of trading, <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> stock is basically breaking even.</p><p>Translation: Given enough time, the all-weather Warren Buffett way still works.</p><p>Let&#39;s take a look at three Berkshire holdings you may want to scoop up for yourself, and soon. They&#39;re mostly underperforming for now. But these stocks tend to be recession-resilient, and they could end up outperforming the broad market in the foreseeable future.</p><h2>1. Bank of America</h2><p>At first glance, there are some troubling indicators surrounding banks right now. Rising interest rates could crimp demand for loans, while a weakening economy dents borrowers&#39; ability to make loan payments. Such an environment also sours the stock market, undermining the banking industry&#39;s investment-related businesses.</p><p>But investors may be pricing in far more downside than is merited for banks at the same time they&#39;re overlooking the upsides of this situation. That&#39;s arguably what&#39;s happening with <b>Bank of America</b> shares anyway.</p><p>Yes, last quarter&#39;s results showed a sizable uptick in provisions for losses on loans that may be in the cards, and per-share earnings fell from $0.85 to only $0.81 per share. That&#39;s quite possibly the worst trouble the bank&#39;s facing though. Even the company&#39;s investment management operation more or less matched this year&#39;s second-quarter results as well as the year-ago Q3 results during the third quarter of this year despite the broader market&#39;s poor performance.</p><p>Indeed, things may even be looking up very soon for Buffett&#39;s beaten-down $133 billion Bank of America position, which accounts for more than a tenth of his total stock holdings.</p><p>Although Bank of America is likely to make far fewer loans within the next few months than it has during the past few months, the net profitability of those loans should be much greater than the bank&#39;s current loan portfolio. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Finance, CEO Brian Moynihan pointed out that continued increases in interest rates could add another billion dollars worth of profitability to the company&#39;s current bottom line. That would bolster net interest income that was already up 24% year over year last quarter.</p><p>It&#39;s a possibility, however, that&#39;s only recent begun to be reflected in the stock&#39;s rebound effort from a sell-off that dragged it 40% below February&#39;s peak price. Still down 20% year to date though, the bounce since October&#39;s low may be a sign that the market is finally starting to right-price this ticker headed into November.</p><h2>2. Coca-Cola</h2><p>The recession-related risk of losing a job may prompt some people to cancel a vacation or postpone the purchase of a new car. Economic weakness and burgeoning inflation, however, typically don&#39;t cause consumers to stop buying their favorite beverages.</p><p>Enter<b> Coca-Cola</b>, which is doing just fine at a time when most companies aren&#39;t. Last quarter&#39;s organic revenue was up 16% on a 4% increase in unit volume, meaning the beverage giant is successfully passing along its higher costs to its customers. The company also managed to gain market share in a very crowded drinks market. And, given all that its management knows right now, Coca-Cola is still looking for solid single-digit revenue and earnings growth for the upcoming year despite broad economic headwinds.</p><p>This loyalty makes sense. Coca-Cola is one of the world&#39;s most recognized and beloved brand names, and being in business for 136 years means it&#39;s had plenty of time to become a fixture of the global culture. Christmas ornaments, clothing, toys, and home decor are just some of non-beverage goods that regularly borrow the Coca-Cola logo and colors, reflecting the planet&#39;s affinity for the brand outside of beverages.</p><p>Of course, The Coca-Cola Company isn&#39;t just its namesake cola anymore. The company reaches plenty of non-soda drinkers as well; it also owns Dasani water, Gold Peak tea, and Minute Maid juices, just to name a few.</p><p>Perhaps the real upside to new investors, however, is the nuance that Buffett likes most about this particular Berkshire holding. That&#39;s the dividend -- and its reliable growth -- that keeps on coming even in lousy environments. The quarterly payout has not only been paid like clockwork for decades now, but the annual dividend payment has been upped every year for the past 60 years.  Thanks to the stock&#39;s relative weakness this year, you can step into this stock right now while its yield is an above-average 3%.</p><h2>3. American Express</h2><p>Finally, add <b>American Express</b> to your list of Buffett stocks to buy sooner than later, while you can still buy it 26% below February&#39;s peak.</p><p>On the surface, it&#39;s just another credit company. Dig deeper, though, and it&#39;s much more. Whereas competitors like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b> and <b>Mastercard</b> provide a payments processing platform for card issuers, American Express builds and operates its own robust charge-card ecosystem. The bulk of the company&#39;s personal and business charge cards impose an annual fee, but it&#39;s a fee its customers gladly pay in exchange for incredible perks. The Platinum Card, for instance, offers access to select airport lounges, while the Gold Card offers outright credits for <b>Uber Technology</b>&#39;s ride-hailing services.</p><p>And this ecosystem of benefits is no small matter.</p><p>The company earns interest income like any other lender and collects the usual transaction fees for facilitating the purchase of goods and services. But it also generates a great deal of service and card-fee income. Roughly 10% of last quarter&#39;s top line came from cardholders&#39; payments just for the privilege of holding an American Express charge card.</p><p>Of course, the economic turbulence could rattle consumers&#39; spending and prompt some to cancel credit cards that incur an annual fee. But that&#39;s not as likely as you might suspect.</p><p>Aside from the fact that American Express cardholders really, <i>really</i> love their rewards programs -- in August, J.D. Power ranked American Express highest for customer satisfaction for a third year in a row -- credit cards aren&#39;t just for splurging anymore. They&#39;re increasingly being used as an alternative to cash to buy everyday goods. In this vein, American Express has collected nearly $38.7 billion in net revenue through the first three quarters of this year, up 30% from where it was at this time of year in pre-pandemic 2019. Analysts are calling for top-line growth of 11% next year, too, despite the brewing economic headwind.

The market environment is more than a little rocky this year, though, and Buffett's philosophy is proving itself once again. Whereas the S&P 500 has been rather deep in the red over the past year of trading, Berkshire Hathaway stock is basically breaking even.Translation: Given enough time, the all-weather Warren Buffett way still works.Let's take a look at three Berkshire holdings you may want to scoop up for yourself, and soon. They're mostly underperforming for now. But these stocks tend to be recession-resilient, and they could end up outperforming the broad market in the foreseeable future.1. Bank of AmericaAt first glance, there are some troubling indicators surrounding banks right now. Rising interest rates could crimp demand for loans, while a weakening economy dents borrowers' ability to make loan payments. Such an environment also sours the stock market, undermining the banking industry's investment-related businesses.But investors may be pricing in far more downside than is merited for banks at the same time they're overlooking the upsides of this situation. That's arguably what's happening with Bank of America shares anyway.Yes, last quarter's results showed a sizable uptick in provisions for losses on loans that may be in the cards, and per-share earnings fell from $0.85 to only $0.81 per share. That's quite possibly the worst trouble the bank's facing though. Even the company's investment management operation more or less matched this year's second-quarter results as well as the year-ago Q3 results during the third quarter of this year despite the broader market's poor performance.Indeed, things may even be looking up very soon for Buffett's beaten-down $133 billion Bank of America position, which accounts for more than a tenth of his total stock holdings.Although Bank of America is likely to make far fewer loans within the next few months than it has during the past few months, the net profitability of those loans should be much greater than the bank's current loan portfolio. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Finance, CEO Brian Moynihan pointed out that continued increases in interest rates could add another billion dollars worth of profitability to the company's current bottom line. That would bolster net interest income that was already up 24% year over year last quarter.It's a possibility, however, that's only recent begun to be reflected in the stock's rebound effort from a sell-off that dragged it 40% below February's peak price. Still down 20% year to date though, the bounce since October's low may be a sign that the market is finally starting to right-price this ticker headed into November.2. Coca-ColaThe recession-related risk of losing a job may prompt some people to cancel a vacation or postpone the purchase of a new car. Economic weakness and burgeoning inflation, however, typically don't cause consumers to stop buying their favorite beverages.Enter Coca-Cola, which is doing just fine at a time when most companies aren't. Last quarter's organic revenue was up 16% on a 4% increase in unit volume, meaning the beverage giant is successfully passing along its higher costs to its customers. The company also managed to gain market share in a very crowded drinks market. And, given all that its management knows right now, Coca-Cola is still looking for solid single-digit revenue and earnings growth for the upcoming year despite broad economic headwinds.This loyalty makes sense. Coca-Cola is one of the world's most recognized and beloved brand names, and being in business for 136 years means it's had plenty of time to become a fixture of the global culture. Christmas ornaments, clothing, toys, and home decor are just some of non-beverage goods that regularly borrow the Coca-Cola logo and colors, reflecting the planet's affinity for the brand outside of beverages.Of course, The Coca-Cola Company isn't just its namesake cola anymore. The company reaches plenty of non-soda drinkers as well; it also owns Dasani water, Gold Peak tea, and Minute Maid juices, just to name a few.Perhaps the real upside to new investors, however, is the nuance that Buffett likes most about this particular Berkshire holding. That's the dividend -- and its reliable growth -- that keeps on coming even in lousy environments. The quarterly payout has not only been paid like clockwork for decades now, but the annual dividend payment has been upped every year for the past 60 years.  Thanks to the stock's relative weakness this year, you can step into this stock right now while its yield is an above-average 3%.3. American ExpressFinally, add American Express to your list of Buffett stocks to buy sooner than later, while you can still buy it 26% below February's peak.On the surface, it's just another credit company. Dig deeper, though, and it's much more. Whereas competitors like Visa and Mastercard provide a payments processing platform for card issuers, American Express builds and operates its own robust charge-card ecosystem. The bulk of the company's personal and business charge cards impose an annual fee, but it's a fee its customers gladly pay in exchange for incredible perks. The Platinum Card, for instance, offers access to select airport lounges, while the Gold Card offers outright credits for Uber Technology's ride-hailing services.And this ecosystem of benefits is no small matter.The company earns interest income like any other lender and collects the usual transaction fees for facilitating the purchase of goods and services. But it also generates a great deal of service and card-fee income. Roughly 10% of last quarter's top line came from cardholders' payments just for the privilege of holding an American Express charge card.Of course, the economic turbulence could rattle consumers' spending and prompt some to cancel credit cards that incur an annual fee. But that's not as likely as you might suspect.Aside from the fact that American Express cardholders really, really love their rewards programs -- in August, J.D. Power ranked American Express highest for customer satisfaction for a third year in a row -- credit cards aren't just for splurging anymore. They're increasingly being used as an alternative to cash to buy everyday goods. In this vein, American Express has collected nearly $38.7 billion in net revenue through the first three quarters of this year, up 30% from where it was at this time of year in pre-pandemic 2019. Analysts are calling for top-line growth of 11% next year, too, despite the brewing economic headwind. That's more than many other companies will be able to produce.You won't want to tarry if you agree with the bigger-picture bullish premise either. While the stock's deep in the red for the year, American Express and now both Mastercard and Visa all agreed in their most recent earnings reports that consumer spending is remaining surprisingly firm. The market hasn't been pricing these stocks accordingly, but may well do that beginning in November now that all three players are singing the same chorus.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179298835,"gmtCreate":1626529196427,"gmtModify":1703761486289,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/179298835","repostId":"1198202103","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198202103","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626481985,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198202103?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-17 08:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow drops nearly 300 points on Friday, snaps 3-week winning streak","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198202103","media":"CNBC","summary":"U.S. stocks fell on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrials Average into the red for the week, as ","content":"<div>\n<p>U.S. stocks fell on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrials Average into the red for the week, as inflation fears overshadowed strong retail sales numbers and better-than-expected earnings reports.\n...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/15/stock-market-open-to-close-news.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The S&P 500 dipped 0.75% to 4,327.16 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.8% to 14,427.24.\nThe three averages closed the week lower to each snap 3-week win streaks. The Dow ended the week down 0.52%, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.97% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.87% during the same period.\n\nA U.S.consumer sentimentindex from the University of Michigan came in at 80.8 for the first half of July, down from 85.5 last month and worse than estimates from economists, who projected an increase. The report released Friday showed inflation expectations rising, with consumers believing prices will increase 4.8% in the next year, the highest level since August 2008.\nThe Dow gave up its gains early Friday shortly after the University of Michigan report came out 30 minutes into the session. Losses increased as the day went on with major averages closing at the lows of the session.\nThe consumer sentiment weakness “is at face value hard to square with the acceleration in employment growth and the continued resilience of the stock market,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, but the report “suggested that concerns over surging inflation are now outweighing those positive trends.”\nInflation fears\nThe market was held back all week by inflation fears although the S&P 500 and Dow did touch new all-time highs briefly. On Tuesday, theconsumer price indexshowed a 5.4% increase in June from a year ago, the fastest pace in nearly 13 years.\nStocks got off to a good start Friday with the Dow rising more than 100 points to above 35,000 shortly after the open.Data released before the bell showed retail and food service salesrose 0.6% in June, while economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected a 0.4% decline. If that level held, it would have been the Dow’s first close ever above 35,000.\nDespite the week’s losses, the Dow is still up 13% for the year and sits just 1.15% from an all-time high. The S&P 500 is up 15% on the year and is 1.51% below its record level.\n“The market looks broadly fairly valued to me, with most stocks priced to provide a market rate of return plus or minus a few percent,” Bill Miller, chairman and chief investment officer of Miller Value Partners,said in an investor letter.\n“There are pockets of what look like appreciable over-valuation and pockets of significant undervaluation in the US market, in my opinion. We can find plenty of names to fill our portfolios and so remain fully invested,” the value investor added.\nEnergy correction\nEnergy stocks, the hottest part of the market in 2021, fell into correction territory on Friday as oil prices pulled back from their highs.\nThe Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund fell more than 2% on Friday, the worst of any group, dropping 14% from its high. Still, the sector is up about 28% in 2021, making it the top performer of any of the 11 main industry groups.\nWeaker performance from technology stocks also weighed on the market Friday. Shares of Apple closed 1.4% lower afternotching a record closejust two days prior. Netflix shares fell ahead of the streaming giant’s second-quarter earnings report next week.\nInvestors digested strong earnings results from the first major week of second-quarter reports. Though some of the nation’s largest companies posted healthy earnings and revenues amid the economic recovery, the reaction in the stock market has so far been muted.\nThe Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ended the week 1.5% lower despite big profit growth numbers posted by the likes of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.\n“Good earnings might have become an excuse for some investors to take profit. And with earnings expectations so high in general, it takes a really big beat for a company to impress,” JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade chief market strategist, said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":45,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9959476884,"gmtCreate":1673059057049,"gmtModify":1676538782012,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":13,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9959476884","repostId":"2301724633","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2301724633","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1673050754,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2301724633?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-07 08:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock: Buy Below $100?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2301724633","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryApple's market cap dipped below $2tn in trading for the first time since early 2021.

Apple was the first public tech company valued at $3tn, and on Tuesday fell below $2tn in trading for the first time since 2021. Weexpect Apple to continue facing churn as it deals with the aftermath of supply chain issues in China. In late November, management warned of significant disruption just before the holiday season, forecasting subdued sales growth around Christmas, amounting to 8%. Despite China&#39;s efforts to rapidly move away from lockdown restrictions, our biggest concern for Apple is still the geographic concentration of iPhone production in China and a potential shortage of workers due to China lifting COVID regulations. We believe Apple will experience a bumpy first half of 2023. We recommend investors avoid buying the dip just yet as we forecast more downside ahead.</p><p>We expect Apple stock to fall below $100 per share. The stock has already dropped nearly 18% since we first published our hold rating in mid-September. The following graph outlines our rating history on Apple over the past year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3a94dc450cdc6fe299b0a963005e9ee\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"187\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>SeekingAlpha</span></p><p><b>Time to discuss diversifying production: Exiting China</b></p><p>Despite China&#39;s efforts to move away from lockdown restrictions, we still don&#39;t believe Apple is out of the woods. Apple is working on resorting production after the Foxconn factory went through a series of turmoil from COVID restrictions to worker protests. Apple heavily relies on Chinese Foxconn for 90% of planned production capacity, and we believe Apple&#39;s geographic concentration of production has caught up to it over the past several months. The wait time for Apple&#39;s latest iPhone models, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, in the U.S. reached up to 34 days before Christmas. We expect the slowed-down production to reflect negatively on Apple&#39;s earnings in 1Q23. Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives estimates the production disruptions to have cost Apple roughly $1bn a week in November from losses in iPhone sales.</p><p>Despite Foxconn now shipping at 90% of peak capacity, we don&#39;t believe Apple will easily compensate for the losses created near the end of 2022. We expect the downside of production issues in China to cause the stock to drop below $100 per share. Our bearish sentiment on Apple in the first half of 2023 is based on the belief that the consequences of production disruptions are still pressuring the company. Additionally, we believe China&#39;s reopening creates a new risk for Apple&#39;s factories: potential worker shortages in factories across the country.

We continue to be hold-rated on Apple.We expect Apple stock will drop to $100 as the company cleans up the mess of production disruptions in China.We believe it's time to bring up the discussion of Apple diversifying its production away from China; we expect to see Apple shift away from a China-centered production toward 2024.Despite China's reopening efforts, we expect Apple to still be pressured in the near term by risks of increased COVID cases causing worker shortages.Hence, we recommend investors wait for a better entry point on Apple stock.Scott Olson/Getty Images NewsWe see our expectations of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock materialize and hence maintain our hold rating. Apple was the first public tech company valued at $3tn, and on Tuesday fell below $2tn in trading for the first time since 2021. Weexpect Apple to continue facing churn as it deals with the aftermath of supply chain issues in China. In late November, management warned of significant disruption just before the holiday season, forecasting subdued sales growth around Christmas, amounting to 8%. Despite China's efforts to rapidly move away from lockdown restrictions, our biggest concern for Apple is still the geographic concentration of iPhone production in China and a potential shortage of workers due to China lifting COVID regulations. We believe Apple will experience a bumpy first half of 2023. We recommend investors avoid buying the dip just yet as we forecast more downside ahead.We expect Apple stock to fall below $100 per share. The stock has already dropped nearly 18% since we first published our hold rating in mid-September. The following graph outlines our rating history on Apple over the past year.SeekingAlphaTime to discuss diversifying production: Exiting ChinaDespite China's efforts to move away from lockdown restrictions, we still don't believe Apple is out of the woods. Apple is working on resorting production after the Foxconn factory went through a series of turmoil from COVID restrictions to worker protests. Apple heavily relies on Chinese Foxconn for 90% of planned production capacity, and we believe Apple's geographic concentration of production has caught up to it over the past several months. The wait time for Apple's latest iPhone models, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, in the U.S. reached up to 34 days before Christmas. We expect the slowed-down production to reflect negatively on Apple's earnings in 1Q23. Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives estimates the production disruptions to have cost Apple roughly $1bn a week in November from losses in iPhone sales.Despite Foxconn now shipping at 90% of peak capacity, we don't believe Apple will easily compensate for the losses created near the end of 2022. We expect the downside of production issues in China to cause the stock to drop below $100 per share. Our bearish sentiment on Apple in the first half of 2023 is based on the belief that the consequences of production disruptions are still pressuring the company. Additionally, we believe China's reopening creates a new risk for Apple's factories: potential worker shortages in factories across the country. Bindiya Vakil, Chief executive of a California-based group that tracks supply-chain services, reported expecting \"a lot of operations get impacted by absenteeism, not just at factories, but a warehouse, distribution, logistics and transportation facilities as well.\" We expect the next couple of months will be defining for Apple to be able to restore production smoothly and make up for the shortcomings of 2022.Plans to move more production to IndiaApple announced plans tomove more productionand assembly processes to India in 2024. Foxconn announced it would invest $500 mn in an Indian subsidiary to help boost operational capacity. Apple already produces iPhone models in India since 2017; we expect production outside of China to increase as Apple and other global firms adopt a \"plus-one strategy\" to de-risk themselves from overly relying on China for production.Apple is expected to move around 5% of the production of its latest iPhone 14 to India, the second-largest smartphone market after China. Additionally, the company is expected by JP Morgan analysts to move a quarter of all Apple products' production to India by 2025.

Fresh quarterly economic projections released after the meeting will also shed light on how much further policymakers expect rates to go.</p><p>Economists surveyed by Bloomberg see that median estimate peaking at 4.9% after Powell said they will need to lift rates higher than previously anticipated. That implies the FOMC stepping down to 25 basis-point moves in February and March and then putting policy on pause. Investors see things the same way, according to current pricing in interest-rate futures markets.</p><p>The decision, as well as the forecasts, will be announced at 2 p.m. in Washington. Powell will hold a press conference 30 minutes later.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09990cf4428c3d4cf8dcde939b151e00\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Consumer-price data released Tuesday suggest the worst of US inflation may have passed, making it easier for officials to downshift to a smaller rate increase this week. But Powell could use his press conference to remind the public that officials are not going to let up until inflation is clearly on a path back down to 2%.</p><p>“All eyes will be on the dot plot and the conference and what Fed Chair Powell will be telling us in terms of the path for interest rates going forward,” said Lydia Boussour, senior economist for EY Parthenon, referring to the quarterly projections for rates displayed as a chart of anonymous dots though 2025 and in the longer run.</p><h2>Future Rate Path</h2><p>At their September meeting, Fed officials saw rates reaching 4.6% by the end of next year. But policymakers say those expectations have since moved up following economic data showing that while inflation is easing, it remains stubbornly high.</p><p>Officials also say the labor market is still out of balance, with demand for workers exceeding labor supply and wage growth not letting up.</p><p>The projections will offer insight on policymakers’ latest views for where they expect rates to go. But the Fed chief is unlikely to commit to a specific path, preferring to keep his options open, said Michael Pugliese, an economist at Wells Fargo &amp; Co.</p><p>“I think they’ll preserve flexibility,” he said.</p><h2>Conditions for Pause</h2><p>The rate projections could offer clues on how soon officials expect to pause the rate increases. For example, a more modest increase in the terminal rate may suggest that officials could stop hiking rates as soon as March, while a higher peak may suggest that rate increases could continue further into next year, said Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist for SGH Macro Advisors.</p><p>But he said it will also be important to hear from Powell about how officials will know that it’s time to pause the rate increases or if they should keep hiking.</p><p>“They’ve been edging closer to something that they think is a terminal rate and that appears to be something near 5%,” said Duy. “What conditions would sort of reinforce that?”</p><h2>‘Ongoing’ Increases?</h2><p>One key phrase to watch for in the FOMC statement is whether officials continue to say that “ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate” to bring rates to a level that is sufficiently restrictive to reduce inflation.</p><p>Removing the word “ongoing” could send a dovish signal and suggest that the Fed is likely to pause rate increases in March, sooner than expected, according to Roberto Perli and Benson Durham of Piper Sandler &amp; Co.</p><p>However, Fed officials could also decide to keep the “ongoing increases” wording in the statement for the remainder of the hiking cycle to avoid sending a signal that could ease financial conditions, said Derek Tang, an economist with LH Meyer.</p><p>“There’s little cost to them to keep ‘ongoing increases’ in there until the first meeting with no hike,” Tang wrote in an email note.</p><h2>Economic Pain</h2><p>The projections will also reveal what officials expect to see from the US economy in terms of growth, the unemployment rate and inflation. Forecasts showing that officials now expect it to take longer for inflation to come down to their target could help to justify their higher interest-rate projections, said James Knightley, chief international economist for ING.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa9440bed9d42f2a1aea754f85ebc642\" tg-width=\"933\" tg-height=\"646\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Policymakers could downgrade their outlook for next year, projecting lower economic growth that is closer to zero and a higher unemployment rate that is approaching 5%, up from the current rate of 3.7%, said EY Parthenon’s Boussour.</p><p>“I think there will be that idea coming out of the new projections that the Fed is ready to tolerate some more economic pain in order to restore price stability,” she said.</p><h2>Soft Landing Odds</h2><p>Even if officials present a base case that avoids a recession, the direction of where those indicators are headed can offer insight on how officials view recession risks, said Pugliese.</p><p>Powell could use the press conference to tell the public that officials believe there is still a path, albeit a narrower one, for a achieving a soft landing, where they succeed in bringing inflation down while minimizing the pain for households, said Knightley.</p><p>“I think the Fed will be saying, ‘well recession is a possibility, but it’s not our base case,’” he said.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Fresh quarterly economic projections released after the meeting will also shed light on how much further policymakers expect rates to go.Economists surveyed by Bloomberg see that median estimate peaking at 4.9% after Powell said they will need to lift rates higher than previously anticipated. That implies the FOMC stepping down to 25 basis-point moves in February and March and then putting policy on pause. Investors see things the same way, according to current pricing in interest-rate futures markets.The decision, as well as the forecasts, will be announced at 2 p.m. in Washington. Powell will hold a press conference 30 minutes later.Consumer-price data released Tuesday suggest the worst of US inflation may have passed, making it easier for officials to downshift to a smaller rate increase this week. But Powell could use his press conference to remind the public that officials are not going to let up until inflation is clearly on a path back down to 2%.“All eyes will be on the dot plot and the conference and what Fed Chair Powell will be telling us in terms of the path for interest rates going forward,” said Lydia Boussour, senior economist for EY Parthenon, referring to the quarterly projections for rates displayed as a chart of anonymous dots though 2025 and in the longer run.Future Rate PathAt their September meeting, Fed officials saw rates reaching 4.6% by the end of next year. But policymakers say those expectations have since moved up following economic data showing that while inflation is easing, it remains stubbornly high.Officials also say the labor market is still out of balance, with demand for workers exceeding labor supply and wage growth not letting up.The projections will offer insight on policymakers’ latest views for where they expect rates to go. But the Fed chief is unlikely to commit to a specific path, preferring to keep his options open, said Michael Pugliese, an economist at Wells Fargo & Co.“I think they’ll preserve flexibility,” he said.Conditions for PauseThe rate projections could offer clues on how soon officials expect to pause the rate increases. For example, a more modest increase in the terminal rate may suggest that officials could stop hiking rates as soon as March, while a higher peak may suggest that rate increases could continue further into next year, said Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist for SGH Macro Advisors.But he said it will also be important to hear from Powell about how officials will know that it’s time to pause the rate increases or if they should keep hiking.“They’ve been edging closer to something that they think is a terminal rate and that appears to be something near 5%,” said Duy. “What conditions would sort of reinforce that?”‘Ongoing’ Increases?One key phrase to watch for in the FOMC statement is whether officials continue to say that “ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate” to bring rates to a level that is sufficiently restrictive to reduce inflation.Removing the word “ongoing” could send a dovish signal and suggest that the Fed is likely to pause rate increases in March, sooner than expected, according to Roberto Perli and Benson Durham of Piper Sandler & Co.However, Fed officials could also decide to keep the “ongoing increases” wording in the statement for the remainder of the hiking cycle to avoid sending a signal that could ease financial conditions, said Derek Tang, an economist with LH Meyer.“There’s little cost to them to keep ‘ongoing increases’ in there until the first meeting with no hike,” Tang wrote in an email note.Economic PainThe projections will also reveal what officials expect to see from the US economy in terms of growth, the unemployment rate and inflation. Forecasts showing that officials now expect it to take longer for inflation to come down to their target could help to justify their higher interest-rate projections, said James Knightley, chief international economist for ING.Policymakers could downgrade their outlook for next year, projecting lower economic growth that is closer to zero and a higher unemployment rate that is approaching 5%, up from the current rate of 3.7%, said EY Parthenon’s Boussour.“I think there will be that idea coming out of the new projections that the Fed is ready to tolerate some more economic pain in order to restore price stability,” she said.Soft Landing OddsEven if officials present a base case that avoids a recession, the direction of where those indicators are headed can offer insight on how officials view recession risks, said Pugliese.Powell could use the press conference to tell the public that officials believe there is still a path, albeit a narrower one, for a achieving a soft landing, where they succeed in bringing inflation down while minimizing the pain for households, said Knightley.“I think the Fed will be saying, ‘well recession is a possibility, but it’s not our base case,’” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":11,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9963932985,"gmtCreate":1668563404147,"gmtModify":1676538076372,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9963932985","repostId":"1185933105","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185933105","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1668561426,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185933105?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-16 09:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Slower U.S. Producer Price Growth Adds to Improving Inflation Outlook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185933105","media":"Reuters","summary":"SummaryProducer prices increase 0.2% in OctoberPPI excluding food, energy, trade climbs 0.2%PPI rise","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Producer prices increase 0.2% in October</li><li>PPI excluding food, energy, trade climbs 0.2%</li><li>PPI rises 8.0% year-on-year; Core PPI up 5.4%</li></ul><p>(Reuters) - U.S. producer prices increased less than expected in October as services fell for the first time in nearly two years, offering more evidence that inflation was starting to subside, potentially allowing the Federal Reserve to slow its aggressive pace of interest rate hikes.</p><p>The report from the Labor Department on Tuesday also showed a decline in the cost of wholesale goods excluding food and energy, reflecting improved supply chains as well as slowing demand from higher borrowing costs.

The Fed tracks the PCE price indexes for its inflation target.Some worried about the rise in most medical services components in October, which they said were driven by wages.\"This could be an even more concerning inflation dynamic for Fed officials that have been hesitant to acknowledge wages as a driver of strong price inflation,\" said Veronica Clark, an economist at Citigroup in New York.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":350,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9969514029,"gmtCreate":1668473728262,"gmtModify":1676538061704,"author":{"id":"3581996887679255","authorId":"3581996887679255","name":"Andrina A","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/527aef2be2ecd5e3af8295747ad2b02f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581996887679255","authorIdStr":"3581996887679255"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":13,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9969514029","repostId":"1194306738","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194306738","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1668468992,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194306738?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-15 07:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Brainard Says Fed Should Probably \"Soon\" Slow Pace of Rate Hikes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194306738","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"‘We’ve done a lot but we have additional work to do’: BrainardFed vice chair speaks at Bloomberg eve","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>‘We’ve done a lot but we have additional work to do’: Brainard</li><li>Fed vice chair speaks at Bloomberg event in Washington</li></ul><p>Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard said the central bank should soon moderate the size of its interest-rate increases, signaling she favors slowing to a half-point hike as early as next month.</p><p>“It will probably be appropriate soon to move to a slower pace of increases,” Brainard said Monday in a fireside-chat event at Bloomberg’s Washington bureau. “But I think what’s really important to emphasize: We’ve done a lot, but we have additional work to do.”</p><p>The US central bank has raised its benchmark interest rate this year from nearly zero in March to a target range of 3.75% to 4% this month in a bid to slow the economy and bring inflation down from four-decade highs.

Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected the headline reading to show an accelerated monthly increase of 0.6% from 0.4% in September, driven in part by the first jump in energy prices in four months.</p><p>The broadest measure is projected to have moderated to a 7.9% rise annually, down slightly from September’s year-over-year increase of 8.2%. Core CPI, which strips out the volatile food and energy components of the measure, is projected to come in at 0.5% on a monthly basis and 6.5% over the year, little changed from 0.6% and 6.6%, respectively, last month — the highest core prints since 1982.</p><p>The Federal Reserve keeps a closer eye on &#34;core&#34; inflation, which offers policymakers a more focused look at inputs like housing.

Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected the headline reading to show an accelerated monthly increase of 0.6% from 0.4% in September, driven in part by the first jump in energy prices in four months.The broadest measure is projected to have moderated to a 7.9% rise annually, down slightly from September’s year-over-year increase of 8.2%. Core CPI, which strips out the volatile food and energy components of the measure, is projected to come in at 0.5% on a monthly basis and 6.5% over the year, little changed from 0.6% and 6.6%, respectively, last month — the highest core prints since 1982.The Federal Reserve keeps a closer eye on \"core\" inflation, which offers policymakers a more focused look at inputs like housing. Headline CPI, in contrast, has moved largely in conjunction with erratic energy prices this year.Economists at Bank of America (BofA) project shelter to again be the primary driver of October's core reading, as housing costs comprise nearly one third of the basket for consumer price inflation.Transportation services are projected to remain elevated due to higher airfares and car and truck rental prices, while medical care costs may have declined, BofA noted.Thursday's data will offer investors hints on how Fed officials will move forward in their fight to restore price stability after raising interest rates by 75 basis point for a fourth straight time earlier this month. Investors currently anticipate a downshift in the size of December's hike to a smaller increase of 0.50%.\"It isn’t just the ongoing pace of increase that is troublesome but the pervasiveness of surging prices across various spending categories that has scarred household budgets,\" Bankrate Chief Financial Analyst Greg McBride wrote in a note. \"Despite a half-dozen interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, any broad-based, significant, and sustained easing of inflation pressures remains elusive.\"Moderations in economic data have prompted hopes that the U.S. central bank will scale back on its aggressive policy stance, but Fed Chair Jerome Powellstressedearlier this month that no plans for a pause were underway — dashing any such optimism.“Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive stance of policy for some time,” Powell said in prepared remarks after last week's policy-setting meeting, later adding that officials have \"some ways to go,\" with payrolls still elevated and inflation readings that have not cooled quickly enough.Federal Reserve officials have repeatedly signaled that the size and magnitude of hikes may slow despite the fight against inflation being nowhere near over, stoking the possibility of a higher than expected liftoff of its key policy interest rate.A wave of Wall Street strategists have raised their bets on how much the central bank will ultimately raise its federal funs rate — and October's CPI reading may affirm revised estimates.Goldman Sachs was the first among big banks in the days leading up to November’s FOMC meeting to warn rates may rise as high as 5% by March 2023.After Friday’sbetter-than-expected jobs report, economists at Bank of America upwardly revised their projections to a terminal rate of 5.0-5.25% from 4.75-5.0% and said the institution anticipates a 0.50% increase for December.TD Securities lifted its terminal rate forecast from a range of 4.75%-5.00% to 5.25%-5.50% and sees a 50-basis-point hike at the next meeting Dec. 13-14.

For starters, the “woke mob” is ticked at CEO Elon Musk. Next, growth stocks in general are getting hammered as interest rates rise and there is no “fed put” in sight. In this report, we rank Tesla (based on fundamental metrics) versus 20 top growth stocks sourced from the top 10 holdings of two popular active growth ETFs, Future Fund (FFND) and ARK Innovation (ARKK), both have very large positions in Tesla. After digging deeper into the details on Tesla (including its tangled business history with the woke mob, future growth potential, profitability, valuation and risks), we conclude with our strong opinion about investing in Tesla and growth stocks in general.</p><h2>Tesla Overview:</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/898f585435879dffaa9dec83e460b41c\" tg-width=\"424\" tg-height=\"98\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p>As you know, Tesla designs, develops, manufactures, leases, and sells electric vehicles, and energy generation and storage systems (in the United States, China, and internationally). For reporting purposes, the company is divided into two operating segments (Automotive, and Energy Generation and Storage), but there is a lot more going on. For starters, here is a high level look at Tesla’s recent operations, in terms of vehicle production and deliveries, as well as solar and storage deployment and supercharger stations.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aedaf32fc31973d75c7cc11d1af38908\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><h2>Electric Vehicles: The Un-Holy Grail</h2><p>Tesla’s electric vehicles (“EVs”) and other solutions have captured mounds of positive (and some negative) attention over the years, in large part because it seems to provide a compelling alternative to the dangers of fossil fuel consumption (pollution) and climate change. And while these are noble aspirations, the reality is:</p><blockquote><i>Electricity grids in most of the world are still powered by fossil fuels such as coal or oil, and EVs depend on that energy to get charged. Separately, EV battery production remains an energy-intensive process.</i></blockquote><p>Basically, EV’s are still largely powered by the fossil fuels that many are trying to avoid. Further, electric vehicle batteries are extraordinarily harmful to the environment when their lives are over (plus the mining that goes into obtaining the rare elements for batteries is particularly unfriendly to the environment too). For example:</p><blockquote><i>Not only do these batteries require large amounts of raw materials, including lithium, nickel and cobalt – mining for which has climate, environmental and human rights impacts – they also threaten to leave a mountain of electronic waste as they reach the end of their lives.</i></blockquote><p>Further still, and despite the fact that Tesla has built out an impressive charging network (you can see the numbers in the table above), it’s still a lot easier and faster to simply fill up with gas than it can be to charge an electric vehicle. We’ll have a lot more to say about Tesla vehicles and other Tesla solutions in the section of this report on growth potential.</p><h2>Tesla’s History: In Bed with the Woke Mob</h2><p>Tesla was incorporated in 2003, and Elon Must became the largest shareholder in 2004 through a $6.5 million investment (Musk had $100 million from his recent sale of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> (PYPL)—a company he cofounded). However, It wasn’t until 2021 when the company finally become profitable, for the first time, without the help of emissions credits. If you don’t know, emission credits are basically financial incentives created by government entities to help reduce pollution. And these types of government incentives were a huge factor in allowing Tesla to remain in existence over the years. For example, Tesla was only about a month away from going bankrupt during the Model 3 ramp from mid-2017 to mid-2019.</p><p>Clearly emission credits and government incentives helped Tesla become the large organization it is today (we’ll have more to say about Tesla’s current financial position later in this report), and those credits and incentives would not have existed were it not for the social and political pressures of the environmentally-focused woke mob.</p><h2>Why Growth Stocks Are Getting Crushed:</h2><p>Here is a look at the recent performance of growth stocks (including the S&amp;P 500 Growth Index (IVW), the Future Fund and the ARK innovation ETF) versus the S&amp;P 500 (SPY). It’s not been pretty for growth stocks, and it’s going to get worse (as we explain below).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e4ecc5604d9091ef9a9441191395d91\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"451\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>YCharts</span></p><p>In simple terms, growth stocks are getting hammered because the pandemic bubble is bursting. Specifically, the extraordinarily easy monetary and fiscal policies that were implemented after the onset of the pandemic led growth stocks to soar (because central banks held borrowing costs / interest rates artificially low (near 0%) and governments were throwing free money everywhere). And now that free money is gone, we’re left with the giant sucking sound of high inflation as central banks rapidly raise rates to fight the inflation they helped create.</p><p>Making matters worse, there is no “fed put” this time around (i.e. the fed isn’t going to bail out the stock market, as they have done in the past). The fed’s dual mandate is full employment and low inflation, and because unemployment is low but inflation is high, they’re going to keep raising rates (to fight inflation) which is driving the economy closer to an ugly recession. Basically, if you are a stock market investor (particularly a growth stock investor) the fed will likely keep tightening the screws on you until high inflation is gone.</p><h2>20 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked:</h2><p>The following tables include the top 10 holdings of two popular growth funds (i.e. Future Fund and ARK Innovation), as well as a variety of additional data points that are important considering the current macroeconomic environment (i.e. recession looming and a hawkish fed). Both funds have large positions in Tesla, as you can see below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b634867b9343f2b0b3b27c7d15598ff5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover, Future Fund website</span></p><p>(GOOGL) (PWR) (CELH) (SPLK) (ENPH) (CRM) (ZM) (EXAS) (ROKU) (SQ) (PATH) (SHOP) (CRSP) (NTLA) (TDOC) (TWLO) (U) (COIN) (DKNG) (BEAM)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5880c717cb5242d92253c23797f124f9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"276\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover, ARK website</span></p><p>The “Growth Score” (blue font) takes into consideration the 5 year history (as well as forward estimates) for EBITDA, Sales, and EPS growth (the best companies score a 100 (green) and the worst score a 0 (red)). If you’d like an expanded list, please reference our new report: Amazon: 100 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked.</p><p>Both funds (FFND and ARKK) invest in companies with very high future growth estimates (as you can see in the table above). However, from a fundamentals standpoint, you’ll also notice FFND invests in a lot more companies with positive net income margins, whereas ARKK does not. This has been an absolutely critical metric over the last year as the fed has increased rates. Specifically, companies that are not yet profitable (because they were banking on future profits) have suffered the worst losses (especially considering many of them may never achieve profits now that the fed has raised rates so much. In case you don’t know, when it comes to stock market investing—interest rates matter—a lot!</p><p>Also worth mentioning, FFND seems to pay a lot more attention to fundamentals, whereas ARKK appears largely focused on long-term growth ideas and concepts—fundamentals be darned!</p><h2>Tesla’s Future Growth Potential:</h2><p>With regards to Tesla, cash flows and profitability are both growing rapidly, a very good thing considering the current challenging capital market environment (e.g. rising interest rates).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d01496e29a20163f864265e210e046c1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>From a business standpoint, Tesla’s vehicle deliveries continue to grow rapidly (despite the recent delivery miss, which caused the shares to sell off further); deliveries are at an all-time high.</p><p>The growing number of deliveries is so important because as production and deliveries keep ramping, so will Tesla’s economies of scale and profit. Further, Tesla could expand its total addressable market (“TAM”) by ten-fold by cutting the cost of an electric vehicle in half, according to this recent note from Sam Korus at ARK Investments.</p><blockquote><i>Last week, during its third-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is developing a vehicle that will sell at roughly half the price of the Model 3 and Model Y. While vehicles at price-points above $60,000 address ~5% of the total US car market, the addressable market expands to 50% at ~$30,000, as shown below.</i></blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/71ae69f9a434a648ecc86cb921b427de\" tg-width=\"1072\" tg-height=\"709\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>ARK Invest</span></p><p>Further still, Tesla has plans to launch a light truck, a semi truck and a more affordable sedan and SUV platforms. These will all contribute to economies of scale ad reduced manufacturing costs per unit. Further, Tesla’s efforts into autonomous driving software can add subscription revenue and keep the brand awareness and image high. Not to mention, Tesla’s robotaxi business add to the upside. Also notable, Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer could incrementally add value at some point in the future.</p><p>Tesla’s Energy Generation and Storage segment also continues to grow. And although not yet contributing meaningfully to profits, it continues to scale and can eventually earn margins similar to Enphase (ENPH) (a long-time Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth Portfolio holding).</p><h2>Profitability:</h2><p>As Tesla continues to ramp, so too will its profitability (margins). It helps tremendously that the company is already profitable—something many other high-growth companies cannot say (see our earlier top growth stock tables), considering rising interest rates make for a more challenging capital markets environment. Here is a look at the company’s most recent quarterly income statement (as you can see costs are not rising as rapidly as revenues, thereby improving margins and profitability).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/555327a97cc8577e06e8387529b9896d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Also very important, Tesla has a healthy balance sheet (see below). In particular, the company has more current assets than total liabilities (a good thing with rates rising and considering a significant portion of debt comes due in the next few years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64a1f6709a40f3c590af018baca39e5b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Tesla does not pay a dividend and has not been repurchasing shares, both good things considering the growth potential is attractive. Specifically, with a return on invested capital above the cost of capital, Tesla has wisely been reinvesting in itself.</p><h2>Valuation:</h2><p>Unlike other growth businesses that have sold off hard over the last year (as the fed has become increasingly hawkish), Tesla is actually profitable and margins are improving. This is a very good thing, but it’s also critically important to acknowledge Tesla’s high uncertainly and volatility (as compared to the auto industry and the overall S&amp;P 500, as you can get some feel for in the graphics below).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca520a7b7f328cb18678eba573444f36\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Assigning an exact valuation to Tesla given the high volatility, growth and uncertainty (Tesla is not a boring predictable company like Procter &amp; Gamble (PG) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)) is a challenging endeavor with resulting numbers varying widely based on cost of capital, return on capital invested and growth rate assumptions. That said, it can be worthwhile to compare Tesla’s margins, growth rate, profitability and valuation metrics to other large companies, as shown in the table below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36f83e6837820c63254aa38f27f27ca0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"224\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover</span></p><p>A few notable things in the table above, Tesla is actually profitable (that’s more than a lot of other high-growth stocks can say) and even though its forward P/E ratio is way above other automakers, so is its expected growth rate much higher. Further, Tesla’s cost of capital is well below its return on invested capital, and its net margins are already very impressive (much better than GM and Ford) and expected to keep improving as economies of scale grow for Tesla.</p><p>For a little more perspective, the 33 Wall Street analysts covering the shares have an aggregate “Buy” rating, and many of them have price targets significantly higher than the current share price (which is down over 70% in the last year).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea343249fa15053559dcc9626d5301f9\" tg-width=\"654\" tg-height=\"295\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>In our view, if Tesla continues on its current growth trajectory (a very big “if”) the shares can easily trade dramatically higher, as earnings are set to grow dramatically. And even if the growth rate comes in lower than expected (but still remains relatively high) the shares are still undervalued. From a high level, the market seems overly pessimistic on Tesla relative to its long-term earnings power and value (perhaps a near-term phenomenon related to the woke mob’s increasing contempt for CEO, Elon Musk).</p><h2>Risk Factors:</h2><p><b>Woke Mob Fury</b>: In case you haven’t noticed, Tesla is a volatile stock that gets a lot of media attention, particularly from the environmentally-focused woke mob. As alluded to earlier, the woke mob created significant political pressure that led to the emissions credits and other government-sponsored incentives that have helped Tesla become the large company it is today. However, the woke mob’s opinion of Tesla is changing rapidly.</p><p>For starters, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter (a major source for information distribution) has upset many from a political standpoint because they preferred the views of prior Twitter leadership. This has created significant negative media attention for Musk and for Tesla. For example, according to this NBC News article:</p><blockquote><i>“Elon Musk’s uneasy relationship with the left explodes over Twitter takeover… Musk has helped expand America&#39;s use of electric vehicles. The left has found a lot of other things to dislike about him.”</i></blockquote><p>Further, Musk&#39;s recent sanctioning of the Twitter Files has increased the heat on him and his companies.</p><p>Related, Tesla continues to receive low ESG (Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) ratings, while large oil and gas companies are increasingly receiving better ratings. For example, see: How Does Tesla Get A Worse ESG Score Than 2 Oil Companies?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b374541c5bfeb0b752079402f643126\" tg-width=\"1203\" tg-height=\"406\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Twitter</span></p><p>However, given the momentum of EV adoption, we expect negative sentiment to create more short-term pressure than long-term pressure. Further still, as constituents work to increase the use of alternative energy sources in the grid, this will decrease the fossil fuel footprint of electric vehicles (although fossil fuels will likely remain the major energy source for decades to come).</p><p><b>Key-Man Risk</b>: CEO Elon Musk splits his time between Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX and The Boring Company. This creates significant demands on his time and could detract from performance (although Musk is reported to be searching for a new Twitter CEO). Further still, Musk owns a significant percentage of Tesla’s shares, which he has recently reduced to fund his Twitter acquisition. Musk sales can negatively impact the share price.</p><p><b>Competition</b>: Traditional automakers are shifting heavily towards EV production which creates increased competition for Tesla. This could cause Tesla’s growth rate to slow. Some pundits argue that Tesla’s valuation multiple should be more in-line with traditional automakers, despite Tesla’s higher growth rate, higher margins and more expansive innovation.</p><p><b>Battery Prices</b>: According to some, battery and solar panel prices will decline faster than Tesla can reduce costs, resulting in little to no profit in this areas.</p><p><b>EV Adoption</b>: The magnitude of EV adoption may not be as great as expected. Some drivers may simply prefer to stick with their gas powered vehicles.</p><p><b>Regulatory Risks</b>: Tesla has historically relied heavily on subsidies and incentives. This may make future growth more challenging. Further, some states are requiring car makes and dealers to be separate, which could create legal challenges for Tesla.</p><p><b>Macro Headwinds</b>: Macroeconomic headwinds, as described earlier, are a significant risk factor for Tesla. Interest rates are higher, economic growth is slowing and the economy is expected to enter an ugly recession. This could dramatically slow growth, although stock prices generally recover faster than the economy.</p><h2>Key Takeaways and Conclusions:</h2><p>Tesla is profitable, growing rapidly and significantly undervalued. However, that doesn’t mean the shares won’t keep falling (the woke mob is angry, and this is bad for public perception). Further, the indiscriminate growth stock selloff continues, especially with recession looming and no “fed put” in sight.</p><p>However, Tesla has the fundamental growth characteristics that Future Fund likes (it’s ranked #1 in that fund). It also ranks above the 90th percentile (a good thing) in our fundamental growth score table above. Further still, Tesla apparently has the long-term rainmaker characteristics that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a> likes (it’s ranked #3 in that fund).</p><p>If you are a low-risk, income-focused investor, stay the heck away from Tesla! But if you are a disciplined long-term growth investor, Tesla is increasingly attractive and worth considering for a spot in your prudently-diversified long-term portfolio. Although volatile, Tesla&#39;s long-term upside is very real.</p><p><i>This article is written by Blue Harbinger for reference only.

For starters, the “woke mob” is ticked at CEO Elon Musk. Next, growth stocks in general are getting hammered as interest rates rise and there is no “fed put” in sight. In this report, we rank Tesla (based on fundamental metrics) versus 20 top growth stocks sourced from the top 10 holdings of two popular active growth ETFs, Future Fund (FFND) and ARK Innovation (ARKK), both have very large positions in Tesla. After digging deeper into the details on Tesla (including its tangled business history with the woke mob, future growth potential, profitability, valuation and risks), we conclude with our strong opinion about investing in Tesla and growth stocks in general.Tesla Overview:TeslaAs you know, Tesla designs, develops, manufactures, leases, and sells electric vehicles, and energy generation and storage systems (in the United States, China, and internationally). For reporting purposes, the company is divided into two operating segments (Automotive, and Energy Generation and Storage), but there is a lot more going on. For starters, here is a high level look at Tesla’s recent operations, in terms of vehicle production and deliveries, as well as solar and storage deployment and supercharger stations.Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationElectric Vehicles: The Un-Holy GrailTesla’s electric vehicles (“EVs”) and other solutions have captured mounds of positive (and some negative) attention over the years, in large part because it seems to provide a compelling alternative to the dangers of fossil fuel consumption (pollution) and climate change. And while these are noble aspirations, the reality is:Electricity grids in most of the world are still powered by fossil fuels such as coal or oil, and EVs depend on that energy to get charged. Separately, EV battery production remains an energy-intensive process.Basically, EV’s are still largely powered by the fossil fuels that many are trying to avoid. Further, electric vehicle batteries are extraordinarily harmful to the environment when their lives are over (plus the mining that goes into obtaining the rare elements for batteries is particularly unfriendly to the environment too). For example:Not only do these batteries require large amounts of raw materials, including lithium, nickel and cobalt – mining for which has climate, environmental and human rights impacts – they also threaten to leave a mountain of electronic waste as they reach the end of their lives.Further still, and despite the fact that Tesla has built out an impressive charging network (you can see the numbers in the table above), it’s still a lot easier and faster to simply fill up with gas than it can be to charge an electric vehicle. We’ll have a lot more to say about Tesla vehicles and other Tesla solutions in the section of this report on growth potential.Tesla’s History: In Bed with the Woke MobTesla was incorporated in 2003, and Elon Must became the largest shareholder in 2004 through a $6.5 million investment (Musk had $100 million from his recent sale of PayPal (PYPL)—a company he cofounded). However, It wasn’t until 2021 when the company finally become profitable, for the first time, without the help of emissions credits. If you don’t know, emission credits are basically financial incentives created by government entities to help reduce pollution. And these types of government incentives were a huge factor in allowing Tesla to remain in existence over the years. For example, Tesla was only about a month away from going bankrupt during the Model 3 ramp from mid-2017 to mid-2019.Clearly emission credits and government incentives helped Tesla become the large organization it is today (we’ll have more to say about Tesla’s current financial position later in this report), and those credits and incentives would not have existed were it not for the social and political pressures of the environmentally-focused woke mob.Why Growth Stocks Are Getting Crushed:Here is a look at the recent performance of growth stocks (including the S&P 500 Growth Index (IVW), the Future Fund and the ARK innovation ETF) versus the S&P 500 (SPY). It’s not been pretty for growth stocks, and it’s going to get worse (as we explain below).YChartsIn simple terms, growth stocks are getting hammered because the pandemic bubble is bursting. Specifically, the extraordinarily easy monetary and fiscal policies that were implemented after the onset of the pandemic led growth stocks to soar (because central banks held borrowing costs / interest rates artificially low (near 0%) and governments were throwing free money everywhere). And now that free money is gone, we’re left with the giant sucking sound of high inflation as central banks rapidly raise rates to fight the inflation they helped create.Making matters worse, there is no “fed put” this time around (i.e. the fed isn’t going to bail out the stock market, as they have done in the past). The fed’s dual mandate is full employment and low inflation, and because unemployment is low but inflation is high, they’re going to keep raising rates (to fight inflation) which is driving the economy closer to an ugly recession. Basically, if you are a stock market investor (particularly a growth stock investor) the fed will likely keep tightening the screws on you until high inflation is gone.20 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked:The following tables include the top 10 holdings of two popular growth funds (i.e. Future Fund and ARK Innovation), as well as a variety of additional data points that are important considering the current macroeconomic environment (i.e. recession looming and a hawkish fed). Both funds have large positions in Tesla, as you can see below.StockRover, Future Fund website(GOOGL) (PWR) (CELH) (SPLK) (ENPH) (CRM) (ZM) (EXAS) (ROKU) (SQ) (PATH) (SHOP) (CRSP) (NTLA) (TDOC) (TWLO) (U) (COIN) (DKNG) (BEAM)StockRover, ARK websiteThe “Growth Score” (blue font) takes into consideration the 5 year history (as well as forward estimates) for EBITDA, Sales, and EPS growth (the best companies score a 100 (green) and the worst score a 0 (red)). If you’d like an expanded list, please reference our new report: Amazon: 100 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked.Both funds (FFND and ARKK) invest in companies with very high future growth estimates (as you can see in the table above). However, from a fundamentals standpoint, you’ll also notice FFND invests in a lot more companies with positive net income margins, whereas ARKK does not. This has been an absolutely critical metric over the last year as the fed has increased rates. Specifically, companies that are not yet profitable (because they were banking on future profits) have suffered the worst losses (especially considering many of them may never achieve profits now that the fed has raised rates so much. In case you don’t know, when it comes to stock market investing—interest rates matter—a lot!Also worth mentioning, FFND seems to pay a lot more attention to fundamentals, whereas ARKK appears largely focused on long-term growth ideas and concepts—fundamentals be darned!Tesla’s Future Growth Potential:With regards to Tesla, cash flows and profitability are both growing rapidly, a very good thing considering the current challenging capital market environment (e.g. rising interest rates).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationFrom a business standpoint, Tesla’s vehicle deliveries continue to grow rapidly (despite the recent delivery miss, which caused the shares to sell off further); deliveries are at an all-time high.The growing number of deliveries is so important because as production and deliveries keep ramping, so will Tesla’s economies of scale and profit. Further, Tesla could expand its total addressable market (“TAM”) by ten-fold by cutting the cost of an electric vehicle in half, according to this recent note from Sam Korus at ARK Investments.Last week, during its third-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is developing a vehicle that will sell at roughly half the price of the Model 3 and Model Y. While vehicles at price-points above $60,000 address ~5% of the total US car market, the addressable market expands to 50% at ~$30,000, as shown below.ARK InvestFurther still, Tesla has plans to launch a light truck, a semi truck and a more affordable sedan and SUV platforms. These will all contribute to economies of scale ad reduced manufacturing costs per unit. Further, Tesla’s efforts into autonomous driving software can add subscription revenue and keep the brand awareness and image high. Not to mention, Tesla’s robotaxi business add to the upside. Also notable, Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer could incrementally add value at some point in the future.Tesla’s Energy Generation and Storage segment also continues to grow. And although not yet contributing meaningfully to profits, it continues to scale and can eventually earn margins similar to Enphase (ENPH) (a long-time Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth Portfolio holding).Profitability:As Tesla continues to ramp, so too will its profitability (margins). It helps tremendously that the company is already profitable—something many other high-growth companies cannot say (see our earlier top growth stock tables), considering rising interest rates make for a more challenging capital markets environment. Here is a look at the company’s most recent quarterly income statement (as you can see costs are not rising as rapidly as revenues, thereby improving margins and profitability).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationAlso very important, Tesla has a healthy balance sheet (see below). In particular, the company has more current assets than total liabilities (a good thing with rates rising and considering a significant portion of debt comes due in the next few years.Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationTesla does not pay a dividend and has not been repurchasing shares, both good things considering the growth potential is attractive. Specifically, with a return on invested capital above the cost of capital, Tesla has wisely been reinvesting in itself.Valuation:Unlike other growth businesses that have sold off hard over the last year (as the fed has become increasingly hawkish), Tesla is actually profitable and margins are improving. This is a very good thing, but it’s also critically important to acknowledge Tesla’s high uncertainly and volatility (as compared to the auto industry and the overall S&P 500, as you can get some feel for in the graphics below).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationAssigning an exact valuation to Tesla given the high volatility, growth and uncertainty (Tesla is not a boring predictable company like Procter & Gamble (PG) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)) is a challenging endeavor with resulting numbers varying widely based on cost of capital, return on capital invested and growth rate assumptions. That said, it can be worthwhile to compare Tesla’s margins, growth rate, profitability and valuation metrics to other large companies, as shown in the table below.StockRoverA few notable things in the table above, Tesla is actually profitable (that’s more than a lot of other high-growth stocks can say) and even though its forward P/E ratio is way above other automakers, so is its expected growth rate much higher. Further, Tesla’s cost of capital is well below its return on invested capital, and its net margins are already very impressive (much better than GM and Ford) and expected to keep improving as economies of scale grow for Tesla.For a little more perspective, the 33 Wall Street analysts covering the shares have an aggregate “Buy” rating, and many of them have price targets significantly higher than the current share price (which is down over 70% in the last year).Seeking AlphaIn our view, if Tesla continues on its current growth trajectory (a very big “if”) the shares can easily trade dramatically higher, as earnings are set to grow dramatically. And even if the growth rate comes in lower than expected (but still remains relatively high) the shares are still undervalued. From a high level, the market seems overly pessimistic on Tesla relative to its long-term earnings power and value (perhaps a near-term phenomenon related to the woke mob’s increasing contempt for CEO, Elon Musk).Risk Factors:Woke Mob Fury: In case you haven’t noticed, Tesla is a volatile stock that gets a lot of media attention, particularly from the environmentally-focused woke mob. As alluded to earlier, the woke mob created significant political pressure that led to the emissions credits and other government-sponsored incentives that have helped Tesla become the large company it is today. However, the woke mob’s opinion of Tesla is changing rapidly.For starters, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter (a major source for information distribution) has upset many from a political standpoint because they preferred the views of prior Twitter leadership. This has created significant negative media attention for Musk and for Tesla. For example, according to this NBC News article:“Elon Musk’s uneasy relationship with the left explodes over Twitter takeover… Musk has helped expand America's use of electric vehicles. The left has found a lot of other things to dislike about him.”Further, Musk's recent sanctioning of the Twitter Files has increased the heat on him and his companies.Related, Tesla continues to receive low ESG (Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) ratings, while large oil and gas companies are increasingly receiving better ratings. For example, see: How Does Tesla Get A Worse ESG Score Than 2 Oil Companies?TwitterHowever, given the momentum of EV adoption, we expect negative sentiment to create more short-term pressure than long-term pressure. Further still, as constituents work to increase the use of alternative energy sources in the grid, this will decrease the fossil fuel footprint of electric vehicles (although fossil fuels will likely remain the major energy source for decades to come).Key-Man Risk: CEO Elon Musk splits his time between Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX and The Boring Company. This creates significant demands on his time and could detract from performance (although Musk is reported to be searching for a new Twitter CEO). Further still, Musk owns a significant percentage of Tesla’s shares, which he has recently reduced to fund his Twitter acquisition. Musk sales can negatively impact the share price.Competition: Traditional automakers are shifting heavily towards EV production which creates increased competition for Tesla. This could cause Tesla’s growth rate to slow. Some pundits argue that Tesla’s valuation multiple should be more in-line with traditional automakers, despite Tesla’s higher growth rate, higher margins and more expansive innovation.Battery Prices: According to some, battery and solar panel prices will decline faster than Tesla can reduce costs, resulting in little to no profit in this areas.EV Adoption: The magnitude of EV adoption may not be as great as expected. Some drivers may simply prefer to stick with their gas powered vehicles.Regulatory Risks: Tesla has historically relied heavily on subsidies and incentives. This may make future growth more challenging. Further, some states are requiring car makes and dealers to be separate, which could create legal challenges for Tesla.Macro Headwinds: Macroeconomic headwinds, as described earlier, are a significant risk factor for Tesla. Interest rates are higher, economic growth is slowing and the economy is expected to enter an ugly recession. This could dramatically slow growth, although stock prices generally recover faster than the economy.Key Takeaways and Conclusions:Tesla is profitable, growing rapidly and significantly undervalued. However, that doesn’t mean the shares won’t keep falling (the woke mob is angry, and this is bad for public perception). Further, the indiscriminate growth stock selloff continues, especially with recession looming and no “fed put” in sight.However, Tesla has the fundamental growth characteristics that Future Fund likes (it’s ranked #1 in that fund). It also ranks above the 90th percentile (a good thing) in our fundamental growth score table above. Further still, Tesla apparently has the long-term rainmaker characteristics that ARK Innovation ETF likes (it’s ranked #3 in that fund).If you are a low-risk, income-focused investor, stay the heck away from Tesla! But if you are a disciplined long-term growth investor, Tesla is increasingly attractive and worth considering for a spot in your prudently-diversified long-term portfolio. Although volatile, Tesla's long-term upside is very real.This article is written by Blue Harbinger for reference only.
