TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":686,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165685094,"gmtCreate":1624126798218,"gmtModify":1703829162103,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will it really plunge?","listText":"Will it really plunge?","text":"Will it really plunge?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165685094","repostId":"1166679093","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166679093","pubTimestamp":1624065234,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166679093?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-19 09:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Meme Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Plunge More Than 20%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166679093","media":"fool","summary":"Meme stocks have been all the rage so far this year.

That's understandable, with several of them delivering triple-digit and even four-digit percentage gains.</p>\n<p>However, what goes up can come down. Analysts don't expect the online frenzy fueling the ginormous jumps for some of the most popular stocks will be sustainable. Here are three meme stocks that Wall Street thinks will plunge by more than 20% within the next 12 months.</p>\n<p>AMC Entertainment</p>\n<p><b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:AMC)ranks as the best-performing meme stock of all. Shares of the movie theater operator have skyrocketed close to 2,500% year to date.</p>\n<p>The consensus among analysts, though, is that the stock could lose 90% of its current value. Even the most optimistic analyst surveyed by Refinitiv has a price target for AMC that's more than 70% below the current share price.</p>\n<p>But isn't AMC's business picking up? Yep. The easing of restrictions has enabled the company to reopen 99% of its U.S. theaters. AMC could benefit as seating capacity limitations imposed by state and local governments are raised.

Retail investors viewed Clover as a primeshort squeezecandidate.</p>\n<p>Since the beginning of June, shares of Clover Health have jumped more than 65%. Analysts, however, don't expect those gains to last. The average price target for the stock is 25% below the current share price.</p>\n<p>Clover Health's valuation does seem to have gotten out of hand. The healthcare stock currently trades at more than 170 times trailing-12-month sales. That's a nosebleed level, especially considering that the company is the subject of investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.</p>\n<p>Still, Clover Health could deliver improving financial results this year. The company hopes to significantly increase its membership by targeting the original Medicare program. This represents a major new market opportunity in addition to its current Medicare Advantage business.</p>\n<p>Sundial Growers</p>\n<p>At one point earlier this year,&nbsp;<b>Sundial Growers</b>(NASDAQ:SNDL)appeared to be a legitimate contender to become the biggest winner among meme stocks. The Canadian marijuana stock vaulted more than 520% higher year to date before giving up much of its gains. However, Sundial's share price has still more than doubled in 2021.</p>\n<p>Analysts anticipate that the pot stock could fall even further. The consensus price target for Sundial reflects a 23% discount to its current share price. One analyst even thinks the stock could sink 55%.</p>\n<p>There certainly are reasons to be pessimistic about Sundial's core cannabis business. The company's net cannabis revenue fell year over year in the first quarter of 2021. Although Sundial is taking steps that it hopes will turn things around, it remains to be seen if those efforts will succeed.</p>\n<p>Sundial's business deals could give investors reasons for optimism. After all, the company posted positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in Q1 due to its investments.</p>\n<p>However, the cash that Sundial is using to make these investments has come at the cost of increased dilution of its stock. The company can't afford any additional dilution without having to resort to desperate measures to keep its listing on the&nbsp;<b>Nasdaq</b>&nbsp;stock exchange.</p>","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>3 Meme Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Plunge More Than 20%</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\">\n3 Meme Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Plunge More Than 20%\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-19 09:13 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/18/3-meme-stocks-wall-street-predicts-will-plunge-mor/><strong>fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Meme stocks have been all the rage so far this year.

This represents a major new market opportunity in addition to its current Medicare Advantage business.\nSundial Growers\nAt one point earlier this year, Sundial Growers(NASDAQ:SNDL)appeared to be a legitimate contender to become the biggest winner among meme stocks. The Canadian marijuana stock vaulted more than 520% higher year to date before giving up much of its gains. However, Sundial's share price has still more than doubled in 2021.\nAnalysts anticipate that the pot stock could fall even further. The consensus price target for Sundial reflects a 23% discount to its current share price. One analyst even thinks the stock could sink 55%.\nThere certainly are reasons to be pessimistic about Sundial's core cannabis business. The company's net cannabis revenue fell year over year in the first quarter of 2021. Although Sundial is taking steps that it hopes will turn things around, it remains to be seen if those efforts will succeed.\nSundial's business deals could give investors reasons for optimism. After all, the company posted positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in Q1 due to its investments.\nHowever, the cash that Sundial is using to make these investments has come at the cost of increased dilution of its stock. The company can't afford any additional dilution without having to resort to desperate measures to keep its listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":314,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165682490,"gmtCreate":1624126772410,"gmtModify":1703829161936,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is this the right time?","listText":"Is this the right time?","text":"Is this the right time?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165682490","repostId":"1199331995","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199331995","pubTimestamp":1624065374,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199331995?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-19 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Billion-Dollar Deals Come To Market In A 12 IPO Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199331995","media":"Renaissance","summary":"12 IPOs are scheduled to raise $5.6 billion in the week ahead led by two billion-dollar deals.Chinese freight platform Full Truck Alliance plans to raise $1.5 billion at a $19.7 billion market cap.

Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.</p>\n<p>By 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics.

As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work&nbsp;enabled them to put their ethics on hold.</p>\n<p>“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”</p>\n<p>Sights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.</p>\n<p>Antar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.</p>\n<p>The co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.</p>\n<p><b>An Advertising Assault:</b>The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972.

He obtained a phony U.S. passport issued to “Harry Page Shalom” and left the country. After a two-year global search, he was located in 1992 in a Tel Aviv suburb living under the name Alexander Stewart.</p>\n<p>Antar was brought back to the U.S. to find his cousin Sam Antar had taken a plea deal with federal prosecutors and agreed to testify against him in court.</p>\n<p>“There’s no better motivator than a 20-year prison term,” Sam Antar stated. “I didn’t cooperate because I found God. I cooperated to save my ass.”</p>\n<p>In July 2013, Antar was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Two years later, his verdicts were overturned on appeal.</p>\n<p>Rather than face the stress of another trial, Antar pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996 and was sentenced in 1997 to eight years in prison.</p>\n<p><b>The Legend Lives On:</b>Antar was released after four years in prison and federal law enforcement officials managed to find more than $120 million from his offshore bank accounts, which was repaid to investors.</p>\n<p>Several attempts occurred over the subsequent years to revive the Crazy Eddie brand, first as a brick-and-mortar retailer and then as an e-commerce venture, but all of these efforts failed.</p>\n<p>In June 2019,<b>Jon Turteltaub</b>, the director of the “National Treasure” film franchise, announced plans to make a biopic about Antar. But that project has yet to come to life.</p>\n<p>Many of the Crazy Eddie commercials can be found on YouTube, and marketing experts consider them to be among the most imaginative and successful examples of television advertising.</p>\n<p>Antar stayed out of the public light after leaving prison and died of complications from liver cancer on Sept. 10, 2016. He never publicly spoke about his past, although in a brief late-life exchange with a Newark Star-Ledger reporter he acknowledged the unique impact he had on retailing.</p>\n<p>“Everybody knows Crazy Eddie,” he said. “What can I tell you? I changed the business. I changed the whole business.”</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","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>Wall Street Crime And Punishment: The Rise And Fall Of Crazy Eddie</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\">\nWall Street Crime And Punishment: The Rise And Fall Of Crazy Eddie\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-19 09:22 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21596990/wall-street-crime-and-punishment-the-rise-and-fall-of-crazy-eddie><strong>benzinga</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Wall Street Crime and Punishment is a weekly series by Benzinga's Phil Hall chronicling the bankers, brokers and financial ne’er-do-wells whose ambition and greed take them in the wrong direction.\nIf ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21596990/wall-street-crime-and-punishment-the-rise-and-fall-of-crazy-eddie\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21596990/wall-street-crime-and-punishment-the-rise-and-fall-of-crazy-eddie","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161408410","content_text":"Wall Street Crime and Punishment is a weekly series by Benzinga's Phil Hall chronicling the bankers, brokers and financial ne’er-do-wells whose ambition and greed take them in the wrong direction.\nIf you were living in the New York metropolitan area during the 1970s and 1980s, you probably remember the commercials for the Crazy Eddie electronics retail chain.

After a two-year global search, he was located in 1992 in a Tel Aviv suburb living under the name Alexander Stewart.\nAntar was brought back to the U.S. to find his cousin Sam Antar had taken a plea deal with federal prosecutors and agreed to testify against him in court.\n“There’s no better motivator than a 20-year prison term,” Sam Antar stated. “I didn’t cooperate because I found God. I cooperated to save my ass.”\nIn July 2013, Antar was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Two years later, his verdicts were overturned on appeal.\nRather than face the stress of another trial, Antar pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996 and was sentenced in 1997 to eight years in prison.\nThe Legend Lives On:Antar was released after four years in prison and federal law enforcement officials managed to find more than $120 million from his offshore bank accounts, which was repaid to investors.\nSeveral attempts occurred over the subsequent years to revive the Crazy Eddie brand, first as a brick-and-mortar retailer and then as an e-commerce venture, but all of these efforts failed.\nIn June 2019,Jon Turteltaub, the director of the “National Treasure” film franchise, announced plans to make a biopic about Antar. But that project has yet to come to life.\nMany of the Crazy Eddie commercials can be found on YouTube, and marketing experts consider them to be among the most imaginative and successful examples of television advertising.\nAntar stayed out of the public light after leaving prison and died of complications from liver cancer on Sept. 10, 2016. He never publicly spoke about his past, although in a brief late-life exchange with a Newark Star-Ledger reporter he acknowledged the unique impact he had on retailing.\n“Everybody knows Crazy Eddie,” he said. “What can I tell you? I changed the business. I changed the whole business.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165682926,"gmtCreate":1624126733965,"gmtModify":1703829161284,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is that legit?","listText":"Is that legit?","text":"Is that legit?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165682926","repostId":"1113942445","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":376,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131538448,"gmtCreate":1621866632184,"gmtModify":1704363574867,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will this install confidence?","listText":"Will this install confidence?","text":"Will this install confidence?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/131538448","repostId":"2137315318","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137315318","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":1621865203,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137315318?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-24 22:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coinbase appoints former White House staffer as chief policy officer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137315318","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 24 (Reuters) - Coinbase Global Inc    has appointed Faryar Shirzad, a former White House officia","content":"<p>May 24 (Reuters) - Coinbase Global Inc    has appointed Faryar Shirzad, a former White House official, as chief policy officer, the cryptocurrency exchange said in a blog post on Monday.</p><p>Shirzad joins the company against the backdrop of increased regulatory scrutiny around digital currencies globally.</p><p>He served as deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs at the White House and was most recently the global co-head of government affairs at Goldman Sachs   , where his tenure spanned 15 years.</p><p>Previously, he was also the assistant secretary for import administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce.</p><p>Last week, Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell said cryptocurrencies pose risks to financial stability.

The company issued shares at $17 each, which was at the top of the $15-to-$17 range, and raised $1.4 billion. (See IPO Calendar on TipRanks)The underwriters on the deal included Morgan Stanley (MS), J.P. Morgan (JPM), Credit Suisse (CS), Barclays (BCS), Jefferies, BNP Paribas, BofA Securities (BAC), Piper Sandler, and RBC Capital Markets.On the first day of trading, the shares shot up 19% to $20.20 and the market capitalization came to roughly $12 billion. The company, which was founded in 1990, is a leader in oat milk.Last July, Oatly raised $200 million in funding that was led by the Blackstone Group (BX). The other investors included Natalie Portman, Oprah Winfrey, and Howard Schultz, who is the co-founder of Starbucks (SUBX). The valuation at the time was $2 billion, so the company has seen a major surge in valuation in a relatively short period of time. (See Oatly stock chart on TipRanks)Background on OatlyThe cofounders of Oatly include Rickard Öste, a food scientist, and his brother Bjorn. They were based in Malmö, Sweden, and bootstrapped their business.The brothers saw oat milk as a much better alternative to traditional milk or other milk substitutes. For one, many people believe that it mixes better with coffee than other milk alternatives.  It also has environmental advantages: it uses less water than other alternatives and saves about 80% in greenhouse gas emissions.According to the shareholder letter in the S-1 filing, CEO Toni Petersson noted: “We list all the ingredients that go into our products and where they come from so people know exactly what they are putting into their bodies. We work with dairy farmers in Sweden and the United States to explore the sustainability and economic benefits of a shift to oat crops. We were the first company in Europe to use a fleet of electric trucks for heavy-duty commercial shipping.”In terms of the strategy, the initial focus was on northern Europe. But in 2016, Oatly invested heavily in the U.S. market. Initially, the company focused on baristas, which helped to spark growth. Oatly has also formed partnerships with Starbucks and Target (TGT). Currently, Oatly’s products are sold in more than 20 countries.High Growth and Massive PotentialThe growth ramp has definitely been impressive.  Last year, revenues soared 107% to $421.4 million. And while the company has continued to lose money, with the net losses coming to $60.4 million in 2020, losses have been necessary for the global expansion efforts.The market is also massive. The global dairy alternatives market size was estimated at $20.5 billion in 2020. In 2021, the market is expected to reach $23.2 billion, according to a report by Grand View Research.No doubt, major trends are propelling the adoption of oat milk. After all, more people are looking for healthier offerings and younger generations like Millennials and Gen Z consumers want food that is sensitive to environmental concerns.Bottom Line On OatlyOatly does have some downside. First of all, when it comes to food items, there is always the possibility that they will become a passing fad. There is also the nagging issue of copycats edging in on Oatly's business.Yet perhaps the biggest problem with Oatly stock is its valuation. Even if there is a small deceleration in its growth, this could put considerable pressure on the shares. As a result, it’s probably best to hold off and wait for the hype to subside before making a purchase on this one.Disclosure: Tom Taulli does not have a position in Oatly stock.Disclaimer: The information contained herein is for informational purposes only.

When Canada banned cruising through 2022, it was seen as a major impediment to the popular summer cruises to Alaska. Alaska cruises traditionally stop in Canada, because U.S. maritime law bars foreign-flagged ships from transporting passengers directly between two U.S. ports. But Congress last week approved a waiver on the rule, paving the way for Norwegian’s announcement.</p><p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says cruise ships can only return if they follow <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of two paths. They can either confirm 95% of passengers and 98% of crew are vaccinated, or they can go through a rigorous approval process with no-revenue trial sailings for each ship.

When Canada banned cruising through 2022, it was seen as a major impediment to the popular summer cruises to Alaska. Alaska cruises traditionally stop in Canada, because U.S. maritime law bars foreign-flagged ships from transporting passengers directly between two U.S. ports. But Congress last week approved a waiver on the rule, paving the way for Norwegian’s announcement.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says cruise ships can only return if they follow one of two paths. They can either confirm 95% of passengers and 98% of crew are vaccinated, or they can go through a rigorous approval process with no-revenue trial sailings for each ship. Norwegian is pursuing the former path, and said it expects to obtain a so-called conditional sailing certificate from the CDC “in the coming days.”But it’s also noteworthy that the initial restart will be far from Florida, home of Norwegian’s corporate headquarters and the world’s largest cruise port, PortMiami. Norwegian is making vaccinations mandatory on all its initial voyages, and Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, said so-called vaccine passports are illegal under state rules he pushed for.Carnival’s Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Carnival Cruise Line brands are also restarting with Alaska sailings from Seattle, as are Royal Caribbean ships Serenade and Ovation of the Seas.Norwegian shares were up 2.7% to $29.47 at 9:58 a.m. in New York, while Royal Caribbean added 1.9% to $84.42.

In that example, the<b>S&amp;P 500</b>had gained 3.5% over the previous five days of trading.</p>\n<p>As a result, out of my 10 stocks to watch,seven were burning up the track&nbsp;while three were lagging the index.</p>\n<p>Now that we’re in 2021, I thought I would do the same thing.</p>\n<p>Only this time, I’ll find five winners and losers from the past five days of trading who’ve either outperformed or underperformed the index. For this article, I’ll use May 12 through May 18 (five days and a weekend) and limit the companies to stocks with market capitalizations of $10 billion or higher.</p>\n<p>If you’re wondering, the 10 stocks to watch from my article (both good and bad weekly performances) had lights-out returns over the past year.</p>\n<p>Between May 12 and May 18, the S&amp;P 500 had a total return of -0.6%. Based on that, here are my five winning stocks and five losing stocks to watch right now.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>NortonLifeLock</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NLOK</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Occidental Petroleum</b>(NYSE:<b><u>OXY</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Ulta Beauty</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ULTA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Royal Caribbean</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RCL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Hershey</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HSY</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>AT&amp;T</b>(NYSE:<b><u>T</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Lennar</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LEN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CMG</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>MSCI</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MSCI</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>NortonLifeLock (NLOK)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>13.5%</p>\n<p>The cybersecurity software and services company got a nice boost on May 12 when BofA analyst Tal Liani upgraded NLOK stock to “buy” from “underperform.” More importantly, the analyst increased its target price by 58%, from&nbsp;$19 to $30. Currently trading below the target, it’s possible future quarterly results could push that higher.</p>\n<p>Liani believes that the consumer market, NortonLifeLock’s bread and butter, provides it with a long runway of growth. The company itself expects 2022 revenue growth of at least 8% and adjusted earnings per share of $1.70, which would be 60% higher year-over-year.</p>\n<p>“Management believes the consumer cybersecurity market is heavily underpenetrated, which leaves room for growing the subscriber base as well,” Liani wrote.“Lastly, international expansion is another key element, with international sales accounting for 30% of revenues, and management outlined a country-by-country strategy to address the remaining potential.”</p>\n<p>NortonLifeLock’s been on a strong run the past five years with an annualized total return of 18.8%. But it looks as though the next five could be equally rewarding for shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Occidental Petroleum (OXY)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>5.6%</p>\n<p><i>Investor’s Business Daily</i>&nbsp;commented in early May that the Occidental corporate jet was&nbsp;spotted in Omaha&nbsp;days before Warren Buffett invested&nbsp;$10 billion&nbsp;in the oil company in 2019.</p>\n<p>At times in the past couple of years, I’m sure Buffett would have preferred the jet go almost anywhere else except Omaha, as the price of oil tanked. As part of his $10 billion preferred-share investment, Buffett got&nbsp;83.86 million warrants&nbsp;to buy OXY stock at $59.62.</p>\n<p>Starting in 2029, Occidental can redeem the 8% preferreds at a redemption price equal to 105% of the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends. The dividends Buffett was paid in 2020 were made in Oxy stock. The Oracle of Omaha&nbsp;sold those shares&nbsp;in August 2020.</p>\n<p>Thanks to a rebound in oil prices, Occidental’s got a total return of almost 72% over the past year, significantly higher than the U.S. markets as a whole. However, as I write this, OXY stock is still trading at less than half Buffett’s exercise price.</p>\n<p>He’s got until one year after Occidental were to redeem its preferred shares. That means at least another nine years to move into the money.</p>\n<p><b>Ulta Beauty (ULTA)</b></p>\n<p><b>Five-day performance:</b>4.7%</p>\n<p>The specialty retailer of cosmetics, skin and hair care products, fragrances, and a provider of beauty salon services, reports its&nbsp;Q1 2021 results&nbsp;on May 27. The 27 analysts who cover ULTA estimate&nbsp;$1.90 per share&nbsp;on the bottom line and $1.63 billion in sales on the top line. Both will be marked improvements from a year ago when Covid-19 stay-at-home orders were kicking in.</p>\n<p>In mid-May, JPMorgan analysts named Ulta to its list of&nbsp;favorite retail stocks. The bank gives ULTA an overweight rating and has it on its Analyst Focus List.

In that example, theS&P 500had gained 3.5% over the previous five days of trading.\nAs a result, out of my 10 stocks to watch,seven were burning up the track while three were lagging the index.\nNow that we’re in 2021, I thought I would do the same thing.\nOnly this time, I’ll find five winners and losers from the past five days of trading who’ve either outperformed or underperformed the index. For this article, I’ll use May 12 through May 18 (five days and a weekend) and limit the companies to stocks with market capitalizations of $10 billion or higher.\nIf you’re wondering, the 10 stocks to watch from my article (both good and bad weekly performances) had lights-out returns over the past year.\nBetween May 12 and May 18, the S&P 500 had a total return of -0.6%. Based on that, here are my five winning stocks and five losing stocks to watch right now.\n\nNortonLifeLock(NASDAQ:NLOK)\nOccidental Petroleum(NYSE:OXY)\nUlta Beauty(NASDAQ:ULTA)\nRoyal Caribbean(NYSE:RCL)\nHershey(NYSE:HSY)\nAT&T(NYSE:T)\nLennar(NYSE:LEN)\nTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)\nChipotle Mexican Grill(NYSE:CMG)\nMSCI(NYSE:MSCI)\n\nNortonLifeLock (NLOK)\nFive-day performance:13.5%\nThe cybersecurity software and services company got a nice boost on May 12 when BofA analyst Tal Liani upgraded NLOK stock to “buy” from “underperform.” More importantly, the analyst increased its target price by 58%, from $19 to $30. Currently trading below the target, it’s possible future quarterly results could push that higher.\nLiani believes that the consumer market, NortonLifeLock’s bread and butter, provides it with a long runway of growth. The company itself expects 2022 revenue growth of at least 8% and adjusted earnings per share of $1.70, which would be 60% higher year-over-year.\n“Management believes the consumer cybersecurity market is heavily underpenetrated, which leaves room for growing the subscriber base as well,” Liani wrote.“Lastly, international expansion is another key element, with international sales accounting for 30% of revenues, and management outlined a country-by-country strategy to address the remaining potential.”\nNortonLifeLock’s been on a strong run the past five years with an annualized total return of 18.8%. But it looks as though the next five could be equally rewarding for shareholders.\nOccidental Petroleum (OXY)\nFive-day performance:5.6%\nInvestor’s Business Daily commented in early May that the Occidental corporate jet was spotted in Omaha days before Warren Buffett invested $10 billion in the oil company in 2019.\nAt times in the past couple of years, I’m sure Buffett would have preferred the jet go almost anywhere else except Omaha, as the price of oil tanked. As part of his $10 billion preferred-share investment, Buffett got 83.86 million warrants to buy OXY stock at $59.62.\nStarting in 2029, Occidental can redeem the 8% preferreds at a redemption price equal to 105% of the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends. The dividends Buffett was paid in 2020 were made in Oxy stock. The Oracle of Omaha sold those shares in August 2020.\nThanks to a rebound in oil prices, Occidental’s got a total return of almost 72% over the past year, significantly higher than the U.S. markets as a whole. However, as I write this, OXY stock is still trading at less than half Buffett’s exercise price.\nHe’s got until one year after Occidental were to redeem its preferred shares. That means at least another nine years to move into the money.\nUlta Beauty (ULTA)\nFive-day performance:4.7%\nThe specialty retailer of cosmetics, skin and hair care products, fragrances, and a provider of beauty salon services, reports its Q1 2021 results on May 27. The 27 analysts who cover ULTA estimate $1.90 per share on the bottom line and $1.63 billion in sales on the top line. Both will be marked improvements from a year ago when Covid-19 stay-at-home orders were kicking in.\nIn mid-May, JPMorgan analysts named Ulta to its list of favorite retail stocks. The bank gives ULTA an overweight rating and has it on its Analyst Focus List. Interestingly,Target(NYSE:TGT) is also a favorite of JPM due to its inventory control and overall strength during the important back-to-school season.\nIn November, Ulta announced that it would open 1,000-square-foot shops within Target. They will be staffed by the discount retailer with training from Ulta.\nBoth Ulta CEO Mary Dillon and Target CEO Brian Cornell believe the arrangement will help drive traffic to both stores. Two of the best CEOs in retail, this partnership is sure to be a success, making ULTA one of our stocks to watch.\nRoyal Caribbean (RCL)\nFive-day performance:4.6%\nIt wasn’t just Royal Caribbean that had a good five days of trading. All of the cruise operators did.Carnival (NYSE:CCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:NCLH) were up 8.2% and 5.7%, respectively. I happen to prefer RCL over the other two.\nThe cruise operator got excellent news in late April when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clarified its position on cruise ships setting sail from American ports of call this summer. Royal Caribbean figures it can restart its U.S. cruise departures in mid-July.\nConsidering it lost $1.1 billion in its latest quarter, the news couldn’t have come at a better time. Plus, its balance sheet is currently bolstered by more than $5 billion in cash. As cruise-goers appear to be ready to spend more on cruises than in past years, they should be able to get back to pre-Covid revenues by the end of 2022, perhaps earlier.\nIn 2020, while RCL was getting pummeled, I continued to say it was a long-term winner. Up almost double in the past year, RCL should top $100 before the end of 2021.\nHershey (HSY)\nFive-day performance:2.3%\nI know what you’re thinking. When considering stocks to watch, why include a company that gained a measly 2.3% over the past five days? Especially when there were 46 stocks ($10 billion market cap or higher) with a better return?\nSimple. I like the job CEO Michele Buck has done since taking the top job in March 2017. It’s why I included Hershey on my October 2020 list of companies with top-notch women CEOs. Since that article, HSY stock is up 18% since.\n In late April, Buck said that she expects Halloween to be very strong this coming October as vaccinations make it possible for trick-or-treaters to get out in the evening air to collect their annual haul of candy and chocolate. I, for one, will be loading up this year.\n“Consumers are participating in seasons, they are telling us they’re doing more movie nights at home, they’re making more s’mores at home [and] at the same time, we’re seeing growth in our food service and our own retail businesses, which are away from home,” Buck toldCNBC.\nAs a result, HSY sees higher earnings and sales in 2021 than originally expected. It’s good to know consumers haven’t lost their taste for sweets during the pandemic.\nAT&T(T)\nFive-day performance:-8.4%\nBack in July 2018, I wrote about the 7 Reasons AT&T Is Going to Blow the Time Warner Merger.At the time, the Department of Justice was trying to block the mega-merger.\nIn hindsight, I’m sure long-time shareholders wish the DOJ had been successful in blocking the acquisition. It’s been both a time waster and a serious blow to AT&T’s reputation with dividend investors.\nCNBChost Jim Cramer has been very critical of the mistakes made by AT&T.\n“I am not calling it a transformational deal. I am calling it the denouement of a ridiculously stupid deal, the $85 billion acquisition of Time Warner, a deal that closed less than three years ago,” Cramer stated in hisReal Moneycolumn on May 17, the day AT&T threw in the towel on WarnerMedia.\nThe reality is that T paid $85 billion for WarnerMedia. It’s getting $43 billion in cash, debt, and WarnerMedia retains some of the debt. AT&T shareholders will also own 71% of the new business.\nThe downside is that AT&T will cut the dividend in half.\nAll these dividend chasers are left holding squat and hoping for dear life that the merged entity can deliver at least $42 billion in additional value to get back to square one before the ridiculously stupid merger took place.\nIt was one of the dumbest deals of the 21st century.\nLennar (LEN)\nFive-day performance:-7.9%\nLennar makes our list of stocks to watch because over the past five days, the homebuilder lost almost 8% of its value. The iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (BATS:ITB), which has a Lennar weighting of 12.2%, lost 5.4% over the past five days.\nLet’s call it a cooling-off period. The ITB has an annualized total return of 75.9% over the past year and is up 25.8% year-to-date. Over the past decade, it’s got an annualized total return of 19%, 468 basis points better than its consumer cyclical peers.\nFor those who believe there is a housing bubble right around the corner, consider Ben Carlson’s Fortune article from April. It suggests home loans are mostly being made by people with good credit scores and large down payments, the opposite of the subprime meltdown in 2008.\nIf you combine this fact with the reality that the housing supply isn’t nearly as abundant as it ought to be, you get the picture of a supply issue rather than one of excess demand.\nHere’s what Lennar Executive Chairman Stuart Miller had to say in its Q1 2021 conference call in March.\n\n So, from a macro perspective, the housing market remains strong. Demand has continued to strengthen as the millennial generation, which had previously postponed its entry into the housing market, has now continued to drive family formation, while at the same time, the supply of new and existing homes remains constrained.\n\nTake advantage of these pullbacks. The housing boom hardly seems ready to end anytime soon.\nTesla (TSLA)\nFive-day performance:-6.4%\nInnovation costs money. That’s especially true when it comes to the electrification of transportation. It took Tesla 15 years to post its first annual profit after Elon Musk took control of it in 2004.\nAfter running up huge returns in 2020, Tesla is off almost 27% in the past three months due to many different reasons, including the fact Michael Burry, the man behind the Big Short,has taken a short position using put options on 800,100 shares of TSLA stock.\nAnd while Musk has gone hot and cold over Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD), Tesla shareholders ought to be more worried about the bureaucratic nightmare happening across the pond in Germany as it tries to get its Berlin Gigafactory built.\n“Although things looked good regarding the Tesla facility up to a few weeks ago, a different reality can lie behind a facade,” says Berlin-based auto analyst Matthias Schmidt.\nThe new Berlin airport, which is very close to the Tesla factory, took almost a decade to get regulatory approval from the German authorities.

That makes Tesla one of our stocks to watch.\nChipotle Mexican Grill (CMG)\nFive-day performance:-4.9%\nA piece of news that probably got lost in the shuffle was Chipotle’s March announcement that it plans to accelerate its expansionin to Canada. Over the next year, it will open eight more locations in Canada, including one Chipotlane, the company’s digital drive-up. The openings will be the first since October 2018.\nAs a Canadian, all I can say is, it’s about time.\n“Given the rising popularity of Chipotle’s real food in Canada, we believe there is a massive growth opportunity in this international market,” said Anat Davidzon, Chipotle’s managing director – Canada. “Our team is focused on continuing to find ways to increase access to Chipotle for our Canadian fans.”\nWith only 23 Chipotle locations in four Canadian cities at the moment (Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa and London) there is plenty of room for expansion. Hopefully, they’ll open one in Halifax in the next couple of years.\nIn the meantime, Chipotle stock has recovered nicely in recent years. A $5,000 investment three years ago is worth $15,338 today. That’s tasty.\nKeep in mind CMG isn’t cheap at almost 6x sales. However, compared to McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) at 8.9x sales, it’s a bargain.\nMSCI (MSCI)\nFive-day performance:-3.8%\nI don’t know if it’s just me and my self-diagnosed dyslexia, but I always seem to get MSCI confused with S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI). They’re both financial services companies, they both have four-letter stock symbols, and over the past five days of trading, they’re both down a lot more than the index.\nAnd not to be too easy on me, but both companies have index businesses that generate significant revenue and profits for their shareholders. In the past, I’ve recommended both stocks.\nIn May 2020, I recommended MSCI stock as one of seven stocks to buy from the TrimTabs All Cap US Free-Cash Flow ETF(BATS:TTAC).

Take that to the bank.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":139307977,"gmtCreate":1621589237699,"gmtModify":1704360153757,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is this the end of bitcoin?","listText":"Is this the end of bitcoin?","text":"Is this the end of bitcoin?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/139307977","repostId":"1144262887","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144262887","pubTimestamp":1621588921,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144262887?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 17:22","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"SocGen says bitcoin’s place in a portfolio ‘remains highly contested,’ gold is a better stabilizer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144262887","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nAnalysts at Societe Generale said the risks to bitcoin “remain on the downside” and expl","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nAnalysts at Societe Generale said the risks to bitcoin “remain on the downside” and explained why the cryptocurrency isn’t the same as gold.\nThe cryptocurrency sector has seen massive ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/21/socgen-says-bitcoins-place-in-a-portfolio-remains-highly-contested.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;

Other cryptocurrencies were not spared as the overall value of the crypto market dropped by hundreds of billions of dollars in a single day. Bitcoin later recovered to hover around the $40,000 level on Thursday.\nBokobza and Van Slooten argued that the risks to bitcoin “remain on the downside,” citing factors such as potential regulation ahead, which the two characterized as the “biggest threat” looming for the cryptocurrency.\nThe U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday announced that it’s taking steps to regulate cryptocurrency markets and transactions. China has already been cracking down on the sector since 2017.\nThe analysts also noted the influence of “confusing” communications from electric vehicle maker Tesla. The company previously said it would accept bitcoin as a form of payment for its carsbefore CEO Elon Musk tweeted last week that the firm has “suspended” vehicle purchases with the cryptocurrency over environmental concerns.\nGold: The better portfolio stabilizer\nThe analysts also questioned the comparisons often made between gold and bitcoin due to the gap in volatility as well as magnitude of their price movements. Some investors have argued that the cryptocurrency is a potential competitor to gold as a store of value.\nSince the start of the year, spot gold has fallen about 1.2%. In a similar period, bitcoin is still up around 38% despite its recent drop.\n“We agreed that investors perceive both as offering protection (or at least alternatives) against official central bank money, the value of which is being undermined by unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus,” Bokobza and Van Slooten said.\nAuthorities in 2020 injected record liquidity into economies globally as a means of keeping financial markets afloat as the world fought to limit the damage wrought by the Covid pandemic.\nBut without generating any yield on their own, “the only potential reward to investors in Bitcoin and gold is from their positive price movement, which is essentially the only thing they have in common, apart from their ability to trigger rush buying,” the analysts said.\nFor its part, Societe Generale currently assigns a 5% direct weighting to gold in its multi-asset portfolio as a stabilizer.\nIn the case of rising inflation, gold can “partially offset capital losses on bonds,” the analysts said. Furthermore, gold also has a “protective role in partially offsetting losses” on stocks in the events of either runaway inflation or a return to deflation.\n“History shows that over time the price of gold closely tracks real bond yields,” the analysts said. “Also, the price ratio of copper (the most cyclical metal) to gold (the most defensive) has proved a neat model for anticipating higher US Treasury yields.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":128,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":139304530,"gmtCreate":1621589210320,"gmtModify":1704360152789,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Does this mean carbon tax?","listText":"Does this mean carbon tax?","text":"Does this mean carbon tax?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/139304530","repostId":"1177779301","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177779301","pubTimestamp":1621588948,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177779301?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 17:22","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"A new global carbon exchange will be launched in Singapore this year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177779301","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nClimate Impact X is a joint venture from Asia's largest lender DBS Group, British bank S","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nClimate Impact X is a joint venture from Asia's largest lender DBS Group, British bank Standard Chartered, Singapore state investor Temasek and market operator Singapore Exchange.\nIt is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/21/a-new-global-carbon-exchange-will-be-launched-in-singapore-this-year.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;

In other instances, it is impossible. When a company is unable to reduce its emissions, it can purchase a carbon credit as a way to offset the greenhouse gases its operations are releasing into the atmosphere.\n\n The (carbon credit) market is characterized by low liquidity, scarce financing, inadequate risk-management services, and limited data availability.McKinsey & Company\n\nThere is an urgent need for carbon credits as a viable, cost-effective solution for those companies to reduce emissions where their decarbonization strategy does not allow them to fully achieve their short-term commitments, Mikkel Larsen, chief sustainability officer at DBS, said Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia.”\nLarsen is also interim CEO at Climate Impact X.\nWhat is a carbon credit?\nA carbon credit is generated by projects that help reduce, remove or avoid greenhouse emissions.The credits are validatedby a set of independent standards created by NGOs and carbon market participants.\n“Carbon credits are certificates representing quantities of greenhouse gases that have been kept out of the air or removed from it,” global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company said ina report this year.\n“While carbon credits have been in use for decades, the voluntary market for carbon credits has grown significantly in recent years,” McKinsey said, adding that it estimates that in 2020, buyers retired carbon credits for some 95 million tons of carbon-dioxide equivalent. When a credit is claimed, it is canceled in the registry — or retired — and can no longer be sold.\nThe voluntary carbon credit market is different from the mandatory ones, whereregulators set carbon emission targetsand allow companies to trade the surplus.\nGenerating revenue sources\nLarsen explained that when carbon credits are “done right,” they can generate revenue streams for conservation project developers working in areas such as reforestation.\n“I emphasize the point about being done right because one thing that plagued the market already has, of course, been this idea that they don’t live up to what they promise to,” he said. “I see these as absolute critical sources of income for the vast majority of project developers.”\nCIX will have two platforms catered to the needs of buyers and sellers: an exchange and a project marketplace.\nThe carbon exchange will facilitate the sale of large-scale, high-quality carbon credits, mostly to multinational corporations and institutional investors.\nThe project marketplace enables the purchase of high-quality carbon credits directly from specific projects. It allows a broader range of companies to participate in the voluntary carbon market by backing solutions to conserve, restore and protect natural ecosystems, in order to help them meet their sustainability goals.\nCIX will use satellite monitoring, machine learning and blockchain to promote transparency, integrity and quality of the carbon credits.\nMarket outlook\nHigh-quality carbon credits are currently scarce because accounting and verification methods tend to vary and the benefits are seldom well defined, according to McKinsey.\n“The market is characterized by low liquidity, scarce financing, inadequate risk-management services, and limited data availability,” the consulting firm said. “Today’s voluntary carbon market lacks the liquidity necessary for efficient trading, in part because carbon credits are highly heterogeneous.”\nMcKinsey cited a global private sector taskforce that estimated demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 15 or more by 2030, and the overall market could be worth upward of $50 billion.\nThere are already multiple carbon exchanges in operation, including the Carbon Trade Exchange in London and Sydney as well as the AirCarbon Exchange in Singapore.\nCIX is betting on the reputation and know-how of its backers as well as Singapore’s governance, regulation and infrastructure to inspire confidence among potential participants in the carbon credit market.\n“CIX is a promising solution to the problem we face today of fragmented carbon credit markets characterized by thin liquidity and credits of questionable quality,” Ravi Menon, managing director of the Monetary Authority Singapore, said Thursday when the project was first announced.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130999353,"gmtCreate":1621500784072,"gmtModify":1704358648780,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls

Business","summary":"Washington, DC (CNN) - A commuter jet was seconds away from landing at a regional airport in Illinoi","content":"<p><b>Washington, DC (CNN)&nbsp;-&nbsp;</b>A commuter jet was seconds away from landing at a regional airport in Illinois last March when the pilots realized they'd made a potentially fatal mistake: They were aimed at the wrong runway.</p>\n<p>Had the plane not diverted at the last second, there was a \"high probability\" the plane would not have had room to stop, an inspector later concluded, which would have been a \"potentially catastrophic situation.\"</p>\n<p>This close call is one of multiple instances of alleged pilot error included in a Federal Aviation Administration warning to Envoy Air, the largest regional carrier for American Airlines.</p>\n<p>An FAA document detailing the agency's findings dated from January and obtained exclusively by CNN describes \"consistent evidence showing potential lack of airmanship,\" unsafe and poor piloting by multiple Envoy Air flight crews over the past two years. The incidents raise concerns, some experts say, that some regional services -- generally contracted operators or sister companies to the big airlines -- are still not operating at the same safety level of mainline carriers.</p>\n<p>FAA Administrator Steve Dickson told CNN in an interview that the probe is \"based on data that we have been able to glean by working with the operator to identify where there might be areas of emerging risk that they need to focus on.\" He said the goal is to ensure Envoy Air is \"not only compliant but operating safely.\"</p>\n<p>Envoy Air is not a household name, but it is owned by American Airlines and its planes connect smaller cities nationwide with American's hubs like Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, and Miami. It flies 185 American Eagle-branded aircraft on 1,000 daily flights to over 150 destinations in the United States, Canada and Mexico.</p>\n<p>Unseasoned fliers may not even notice that a flight is operated by Envoy Air and not an American crew. Besides checking the itinerary for a regional name such as American Eagle, passengers can look for a smaller plane -- generally 100 seats or less -- or tighter seating configurations, like only one or two seats on either side of the aisle.</p>\n<p>The company told CNN it has been working with the FAA and pilot union \"to transparently and collaboratively examine the root cause of each potential issue and take any necessary corrective actions if needed.\"</p>\n<p>\"Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and employees,\" Envoy spokeswoman Minnette Vélez-Conty said in a statement. \"If issues are raised -- either internally by our team or by the FAA -- we work to address them immediately.\"</p>\n<p>The document is a letter from an FAA inspector to Envoy Air CEO Pedro Fábregas detailing nine concerning incidents in 2019 and 2020.</p>\n<p>The FAA wrote it will work with the airline to develop an \"action plan\" to resolve the \"unsafe operational trends.\"</p>\n<p>The FAA declined to provide further information or share the plan citing the \"pending investigation,\" and the airline did not provide any records to document that it had resolved the concerns.</p>\n<p>Dickson did not specify whether the FAA is also probing other regional carriers.

The incidents raise concerns, some experts say, that some regional services -- generally contracted operators or sister companies to the big airlines -- are still not operating at the same safety level of mainline carriers.\nFAA Administrator Steve Dickson told CNN in an interview that the probe is \"based on data that we have been able to glean by working with the operator to identify where there might be areas of emerging risk that they need to focus on.\" He said the goal is to ensure Envoy Air is \"not only compliant but operating safely.\"\nEnvoy Air is not a household name, but it is owned by American Airlines and its planes connect smaller cities nationwide with American's hubs like Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, and Miami. It flies 185 American Eagle-branded aircraft on 1,000 daily flights to over 150 destinations in the United States, Canada and Mexico.\nUnseasoned fliers may not even notice that a flight is operated by Envoy Air and not an American crew. Besides checking the itinerary for a regional name such as American Eagle, passengers can look for a smaller plane -- generally 100 seats or less -- or tighter seating configurations, like only one or two seats on either side of the aisle.\nThe company told CNN it has been working with the FAA and pilot union \"to transparently and collaboratively examine the root cause of each potential issue and take any necessary corrective actions if needed.\"\n\"Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and employees,\" Envoy spokeswoman Minnette Vélez-Conty said in a statement. \"If issues are raised -- either internally by our team or by the FAA -- we work to address them immediately.\"\nThe document is a letter from an FAA inspector to Envoy Air CEO Pedro Fábregas detailing nine concerning incidents in 2019 and 2020.\nThe FAA wrote it will work with the airline to develop an \"action plan\" to resolve the \"unsafe operational trends.\"\nThe FAA declined to provide further information or share the plan citing the \"pending investigation,\" and the airline did not provide any records to document that it had resolved the concerns.\nDickson did not specify whether the FAA is also probing other regional carriers. But he said that one of the agency's teams has \"identified a number of safety elements for airlines and other aviation safety stakeholders to examine,\" including the qualification standards for pilots and whether skills degraded during pandemic-related downtime.\n'We're sliding'\nA passenger on at least one of the flights captured the incident on camera.\nIt was a November 2019 Envoy Air flight landing at the Chicago O'Hare International Airport, and the plane slid on the snowy runway. One passenger later told reporters in the airport that it was the plane's second attempt at a landing.\n\"We're sliding, we're sliding,\" someone in the cabin is heard saying as the plane veers to the side. \"No, no, no,\" another person calls out.\nThe FAA concluded that air traffic controllers had not provided updated weather information,, and it ultimately announced a $1.6 million fine against the Chicago Department of Aviation for \"failing to ensure safe airline operations during snowy and wet runway conditions\" that day.\nBut it also found that other flight crews had realized the poor conditions and aborted their plans to land.\n\"Perhaps more experience for this crew would have prevented this incident,\" the FAA inspector wrote.\nLast June, an Envoy Air crew attempting to leave Dallas Fort Worth were stopped by a warning from the plane's computer.

Our listed investment portfolio experienced meaningful value appreciation, while contributing mixed results to our associate income, with certain investees delivering wider associate losses due to their investments in new initiatives such as community group buying activities. Overall, we believe we sustained healthy operational and financial results during a period when the China Internet industry as a whole is undergoing a heavy investment phase. Here are some highlights of our key products and business lines for the quarter:</p><p><b>Weixin </b></p><p>Weixin Video Accounts continued to gain user and content creator traction as we build the content ecosystem. We have increased our efforts in attracting and incubating content creators by providing customised onboarding services and ongoing operational support. Mini Programs’ ecosystem is thriving with deeper penetration among small and medium-sized businesses. Our low-code development platform enables smaller businesses to develop Mini Programs more cost-effectively. We provided more tools to assist system integrators and the number of active Mini Programs they served more than tripled year-on-year.</p><p><b>QQ and Digital Content </b></p><p>We are leveraging technology to better integrate social and content consumption experiences at QQ, such as seamless experiences between instant messaging and games. Users can team up with QQ friends to start a multi-player game battle with one click. For in-game friends who are not on QQ, users can communicate with them synchronously via Game Center. They can also stay up-to-date with game events via QQ Mini Programs. Looking forward, QQ’s new leadership team will seek to upgrade the service’s technology, operations and content, and better serve the social and entertainment needs of young users.</p><p>Our fee-based VAS subscriptions grew 14% year-on-year to 226 million. Video subscriptions increased 12% year-on-year to 125 million, benefitting from adaptation of certain IPs, such as The Land of Warriors, into animated and live action drama series. Our self-commissioned variety shows such as Chuang 2021 and Roast Season 5 attained popularity. Music subscriptions increased 43% year-on-year to 61 million, primarily driven by better content, effective marketing campaigns and an improved retention rate.</p><p>We are merging the Tencent Video and WeiShi teams to upgrade their algorithmic recommendations, bring integrated viewing experiences to users, and enrich short video clips adapted from our long form video library. We have announced leadership changes in TME, aiming to enhance the co-operation and synergies between our digital content services, as well as with our social communities.</p><p><b>Games </b></p><p>Our aggregate user engagement and user spending increased year-on-year despite the high base due to stay-at-home impact in the first quarter of 2020. We released Honour of Kings’ biggest-ever update in January to improve its graphics and game experiences, and then launched appealing marketing campaigns with top-tier skins during the Chinese New Year, which drove the game’s DAU and paying users to record highs in February. We reduced the application file size of PUBG Mobile and enhanced our local market operational capabilities, boosting PUBG Mobile’s DAU in EMEA countries. League of Legends benefitted significantly from the release of bigger and better Lunar Revel content across PC and mobile devices, as well as across its core game mode and Teamfight Tactics.</p><p>We are also cultivating emerging genres beyond these large audience games. For example, our new titles Komori Life and The Walnut Diary ranked among China’s top ten life simulation mobile games by DAU in April 2021. Our games pipeline covers a wide spectrum of genres, including Action, MOBA and Survival. For China, many of the new games are adapted from popular existing game and literature IPs. Internationally, we expect our substantial prior investments in best-in-class PC, console and mobile studios to begin contributing a range of genre-innovating games in the quarters to come.</p><p><b>Online Advertising </b></p><p>We enhanced the transaction capabilities of our advertising properties via linkage with Weixin Mini Programs and upgraded marketing solutions for key industries including games, retail and automobile-related verticals, delivering higher sales conversion and ROIs for advertisers. Advertisers’ adoption of Mini Programs as landing pages increased substantially, demonstrating growing recognition of Weixin as a transaction-generating environment. Our mobile advertising network continued to benefit from increased video advertising inventories primarily within games, online reading and tool apps. For the rest of 2021, industry uncertainties include potential regulatory headwinds for K-12 education and potential delays to the release schedule of our video content.</p><p><b>FinTech </b></p><p>Our commercial payments volume benefitted from rising adoption of mobile payment in China due to consumption growth and an expanding digital economy. As people travelled less and consumed more during the Chinese New Year holiday, offline payment transactions increased sequentially, particularly in retail and dining services.</p><p>Weixin Pay has been assisting small and medium-sized merchants in China to grow and digitalise their businesses. We are committing significant subsidies, resources and services to small and medium-sized merchants, to further reduce their operating costs and enhance their operational efficiency.</p><p><b>Cloud and Other Business Services </b></p><p>Leveraging our strengths in security, communication and CRM solutions, we expanded our PaaS and SaaS businesses during the quarter. To better position ourselves for the opportunities in China’s nascent SaaS market, we have established our SaaS ecosystem program to nurture the growth of SaaS providers and facilitate digitalisation of enterprise clients. We launched our Enterprise App Connector with unified login accounts and data flow across different SaaS products, allowing SaaS providers to develop and deliver their products more efficiently, while facilitating better coordination of multiple SaaS solutions by enterprise clients</p><p><b>Investments for the Future</b></p><p>We believe that we are still in the early stage of the global digital transformation. The advance of technology will present ample opportunities for our Consumer Internet and Industrial Internet activities. Consequently, we are proactively increasing our rate of investment in new opportunities by investing a portion of our incremental profits for 2021, which we believe will deliver high returns in the long run. Incremental investments will include the following areas – business services, games and short-form video content. </p><ul><li>Business Services: We will make further investments in areas such as headcount and infrastructure to support the rapid growth of our business. We will strengthen our productivity SaaS products and security software as well as partnerships with and investments in SaaS providers and Independent Software Vendors, supporting our clients’ digital needs. Through enhancing our upsell and cross-sell capabilities in key verticals such as healthcare, retail, education and transportation, we will provide smart solutions for enterprises and consumer-facing products for users.</li></ul><ul><li>Games: We are stepping up our investments in game development, and in particular focusing on large-scale and high-production-value games that can appeal to users globally. We are also investing further in new types of games serving more targeted audiences, building up IP franchises and developing them across media, and investing in advanced technologies for next generation game experiences such as cloud games. </li></ul><ul><li>Short-Form Video Content: We are now incubating the content ecosystem for Video Accounts which connect users with real-life content and bridge high-quality content creators with their customers. We will provide production and monetisation tools to content creators, optimise social-driven recommendation, enrich knowledge-based content as well as add servers and bandwidth to support Video Accounts’ solid growth. We are strengthening the synergies between our long-form and short-form video services. Through the merger of Tencent Video and WeiShi, we will empower long-form video leveraging our short-form capabilities. We will escalate self-commissioned production to further expand our IP content library, and provide video clips that can be adapted by our creator network. </li></ul><p>As a technology company serving a broad base of users and enterprises, we recognise our social responsibility and the opportunities for us to create significant social value through innovations.

Since Tesla’s debut from way back in 2008, we have seen a drastic change in attitude towards the industry, including a positive shift in customer perceptions and greater government intervention. 2020 was a landmark year for EVs, with global sales representing more than&nbsp;4.2% of the entire car market, slowly crawling towards internal combustion engine (“ICE”) car sales. Many publicly listed EV makers have also seen record-high price performances in the past year, with some even outperforming the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01d3544960db83d949d01f429a7c7957\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"324\"><span>Source: Koyfin</span></p>\n<p>The latest international dialogues regarding aggressive emissions reduction targets have also created an environment that is expected to supercharge demand in the EV market. Even industrialized emerging markets that rely heavily on coal-fired power plants, like China, have further tightened their pledges to fight climate change; the most populous country in the world has vowed to become&nbsp;carbon neutral by 2060. The Chinese market is by far the fastest growing EV market. On top of their emissions targets, the significant national and local financial incentives favouring EV and domestically produced vehicle sales have further encouraged growth of EV adoption; these financial incentives have become an effective mechanism for making EVs an attractive yet affordable option for new car owners.</p>\n<p>With significant progress made in the EV industry comes an influx of brands trying to compete for a piece of the pie. The first name that comes to mind is none but Tesla. But aside from Tesla, Chinese EV brands NIO (NYSE: NIO) and Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) have also started to gain prominence in the EV space.</p>\n<p>NIO was founded in 2014 and made their first delivery in 2018. To date, the company has sold and delivered more than 95,700 vehicles. In addition to car sales, the brand also offers NIO owners with access to their developed EV charging infrastructure through various service packages catered to specific customer needs. NIO is also heavily invested in developing their autonomous driving and AI technology. Shortly after introducing NOMI, an in-vehicle AI that will be the core support of NIO’s future fleet of autonomous vehicles, NIO also announced their&nbsp;collaboration with Mobileye&nbsp;to develop and commercialize driving automation that does not require human interaction (i.e. “level 4” autonomous driving). The brand has also materialized their international expansion plans through the recently confirmed opening of their&nbsp;first Norway store&nbsp;in Q3 2021, with four more on the way slated for 2022.</p>\n<p>LI, on the other hand, was founded in 2015 and started volume production and delivery of their flagship SUV, the Li Xiang ONE, in November 2019. To date, the brand&nbsp;has delivered more than 51,700 of the Li Xiang ONE&nbsp;with speculations on the launch of another premium SUV in 2022. Different from other EV brands that offer a wide array of models for customers to choose from, LI prides itself on quality over quantity with a focus on perfecting their craft on limited core products. The Li Xiang ONE currently includes more than 40 premium features in one standard package that puts them on par with other luxury SUVs in the RMB 600,000+ price range. LI’s target audience are families looking for a luxurious yet affordable SUV – their luxury SUV described above retails at a flat price of RMB 328,000. Their family centric values are embedded in their brand’s vision, with “dedication to serving mobility needs of families in China”. The premium electric SUV automaker has no plans on changing their pricing strategy and hopes to keep their products highly accessible, gunning at a retail price between RMB 200,000 and RMB 500,000 for all current and upcoming products.</p>\n<p>Based on the brief overview of the two hottest EV brands in China, you might have noticed that they operate different business models. Like Microsoft, NIO strives to dominate the Chinese, and perhaps the global, EV and tech space by investing in both the hardware and software of their vehicles; NIO understands that the EV industry is a tech-play and they are equipped to compete in this arena. Meanwhile, LI imitates Apple in terms of perfecting their product and user experience, and is destined to garner a loyal fan base.</p>\n<p><b>NIO Inc.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3374ca163cfe0c68e55e30a3d098f463\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"402\"><span>Source:nio.com</span></p>\n<p>NIO Inc. was founded in 2014 with their first delivery of the flagship SUV model ES8 in 2018. The brand currently boasts a portfolio of five models, all of which are zero-emission and purely battery powered: EP9 (2-seater sports car), ES8 (7- and 6-seater SUV), ES6 (5-seater SUV), EC6 (5-seater SUV coupe) and ET7 (luxury sedan launched in 2021 with delivery commencing in Q1 2022).</p>\n<p>Dubbed as the pioneer in China’s premium EV market, NIO has shaped itself into Tesla’s top competitor in China in recent years. Considering the&nbsp;latest backlash Tesla received from the Chinese government, NIO might have just garnered itself another point in the fierce competition for market share in the growing Chinese EV market. With their latest expansion into Norway and recent breakthroughs in the autonomous driving scene, NIO exhibits promising long-term growth potentials that will make it the Microsoft of China’s, and perhaps even the world’s, EV industry.</p>\n<p><b>Promising Long-Term Growth</b></p>\n<p>NIO encompasses the brand, customer experience, production strategy, talent and business model needed to take off as the dominating leader in the EV industry.</p>\n<p><b>Brand</b></p>\n<p>In China, NIO represents innovation and is regarded as the forerunner in the Chinese premium EV market. It is estimated that NIO holds&nbsp;approximately 23% of China’s EV SUV marketshare, exceeding Tesla’s 17%. Although the brand is already prominent on home soil, NIO’s latest expansion into the European market is expected to broadcast its name to the global EV and automobile industry, which will help further secure their share of the growing global demand for EVs.</p>\n<p><b>Customer service</b></p>\n<p>The brand is not only focused on penetrating the EV industry with their vehicles, but also the infrastructure needed to support the sustainability of EVs as the primary source of transportation in the future. NIO’s attention to building the infrastructure needed to support their fleet of EVs alleviates customers’ concerns over range and convenience of operating an EV in the long-run, further enhancing customer experience and securing customer loyalty.</p>\n<p>The brand is also known for their wide array of exclusive value-add services, including&nbsp;Battery as a Service (“Baas”), the NIO app, Power Express, Power Mobile, and many more. The most notable of which is BaaS, which is a monthly battery subscription service that not only reduces the overall car purchase price, but also provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal needs. The brand is also known for their developed charging infrastructure, which eases car owners’ top concerns over range and charge time of EVs. Currently, NIO cars are compatible with two battery options – 70 kWh and 100 kWh – which NIO owners have convenient access to through the BaaS subscription service. Concerns over EV range are also addressed by close to 800 power charging stations covering 53 major cities in China; NIO vehicles are also compatible with XPeng’s network of 1,140 charging stations across 164 cities in China, which further relieves skepticism over range. And to address consumer concerns over lengthy charging times, NIO launched “Power Swap” in 2017; similar to the typical gas or power charging stations, Power Swap is a battery swapping station that could swap your dead battery out for a fully charged one in no more than three minutes, which is a significant improvement from the 30-minute charging times required to fully charge an EV.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2412ec979024cf79ba973cb6191fc663\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source:nio.com</span></p>\n<p><b>Production strategy</b></p>\n<p>NIO currently outsources the production of their vehicles to Jianghuai Automobile Group (“JAC”), a state-owned automobile manufacturer in China. The strategy has previously raised investors’ concerns over whether NIO can efficiently and effectively manage their production costs, and control the overall production process; as part of their original manufacturing arrangement with JAC entered into in April 2018, NIO compensated JAC for operating losses incurred for the first 36 months of their partnership, which totaled more than RMB 450 million. In order to reclaim control over the production process of their fleet, NIO has recently formed a joint venture with JAC for managing the manufacturing process of NIO vehicles; NIO contributed RMB 500 million for a 49% equity interest in the joint venture arrangement. Currently, JAC has annual production capacity of 120,000 vehicles for NIO. Given the increasing demand for NIO vehicles as well as the company’s own overseas expansion plans, there have been speculations of a&nbsp;new production plant to be built in Beijing&nbsp;which will be a preemptive move to address the gap emerging between manufacturer capacity and demand from customers in the EV market.</p>\n<p><b>Talent</b></p>\n<p>NIO is propelled by a competent management team. Before forming NIO, the brand’s founder and current CEO, William Li, was already an established entrepreneur in the auto space known for creating Bitauto Holdings (NYSE: BITA), an online platform that promotes and facilitates automobile purchase transactions in China. William Li is known to be an experienced and charismatic leader with proven strength in raising capital for growing the brand, and a track record for delivering on planned results. Wei Feng, NIO’s current CFO, also holds more than 15 years of experience in analyzing the financial performance of key players across the automotive industry. In addition to the core management team stationed in Shanghai, NIO also consists of world class talent leading their R&amp;D centers for software and advanced technology in Beijing and San Jose, global design center in Munich, and global performance and advanced concept engineering facility in Oxford.</p>\n<p><b>Business model</b></p>\n<p>In order to maintain their position as a competitive brand in the broader EV and tech space, NIO’s vision expands beyond the horizons of just building electric cars and their supporting infrastructure. Behind the scenes, NIO is committed to perfecting their autonomous driving and AI technology. In 2018, NIO announced their launch of NOMI AI, the world’s first in-vehicle artificial intelligence that goes beyond standard infotainment and navigation functions; NOMI AI is expected to streamline the future autonomous driving experience for NIO owners. The technology was also the chosen winner for&nbsp;the&nbsp;2021 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award&nbsp;conferred by the Business Intelligence Group, providing further recognition on NIO’s achievements in the autonomous driving development space. NIO has also debuted&nbsp;EVE, their concept car for autonomous driving that encompasses everything they have envisioned – a comfortable and spacious interior cabin that can accommodate up to six passengers, offering a safe and relaxing experience powered by NOMI AI.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06a4056c7036ee9dd48d980063365324\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"335\"><span>Source:nio.com</span></p>\n<p>NIO has also partnered with Mobileye, an Intel-owned company based in Israel focused on developing self-driving technology and advanced driver-assistance systems (“ADAS”), to make level 4 automated driving possible and available to the public. The arrangement involves NIO’s contribution of their engineering and manufacturing expertise to mass-produce Mobileye’s self-driving technology, as well as integrating it into NIO’s line-up of vehicles. Mobileye also has plans to transform their self-driving technology into a driverless ride-hailing service, for which NIO will supply the EVs for. The partnership is also expected to fast-track NIO’s efforts in making “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”), a subscription package for their autonomous driving technology “NIO Autonomous Driving” (“NAD”), available to the public by early 2022 for a monthly subscription fee of RMB 680. The deployment of this technology will be a milestone for NIO and catapult the brand to a leading position in the EV and tech scene.</p>\n<p>NIO’s investment in autonomous driving and AI technology shows the brand’s understanding of what the future in tech entails. Tech giants like Amazon, Google and Facebook all have one thing in common, and that is their ability to gather data on consumer behaviour and preference which will be critical for exceling in the future tech space. NIO understands the importance of this point and is active in developing their NOMI AI technology in order to achieve progress on this spectrum and stay competitive in the tech space. What differentiates NIO from their domestic competitors like LI is that they are not only an automaker, but also a tech company. This strategic move is bound to expose NIO to future opportunities far beyond just producing and selling EVs.</p>\n<p><b>Fundamentals Deep Dive</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dae4350a6c1b2d104a80ddf9943a4ea4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"251\"><span>Source: Author, with data from the2020 NIO Annual Reportand ourinternal forecasts</span></p>\n<p>Since NIO’s IPO in 2018, the company has consistently reported year-on-year losses and negative cash flows from operations due to the capital-intensive nature of the business. However, the company has proven their ability to turn this around through strong car sales in the Chinese market in the last two years. In 2020, NIO’s revenues more than doubled from RMB 7.8 billion in 2019 to RMB 16.3 billion in 2020 thanks to the overall increase in number of vehicles sold and incremental revenues from service subscriptions. NIO’s gross margin successfully emerged from the negatives to a strong 12% in FY 2020 (17.2% in Q4 2020). For the latest quarter ended March 31, 2021, NIO achieved a gross margin of 19.5%, comparable with industry leaders like Tesla (Q1 2021 gross margin 21%).</p>\n<p>The company has also reported positive cash flows from operating activities of RMB 1.95 billion for the first time in 2020; this number represents a 1.22x year-over-year increase, primarily attributable to their overall increase in vehicle and service package sales. In 2020, NIO sold more than 43,700 vehicles.</p>\n<p>The Chinese EV market is expected to&nbsp;grow by more than 50% in 2021, and we are confident that NIO is adequately positioned to capture a large share of this growth. Their latest launch of the ET7 luxury sedan is also expected to directly compete with Tesla’s Model S; the new model will commence delivery in early 2022 and have already received positive public reception thanks to its convenient battery swap compatibility, making it a more convenient option compared to Tesla’s Model S. In addition, NIO’s entry into the European EV market, which represents 42% of global EV sales, with their first store to open in Oslo in Q3 2021 is expected to further bolster their sales and earnings performance. Our forecasts predict deliveries of more than 84,000 vehicles in both China and Norway by the end of the year, generating total revenues of more than RMB 34 billion which represents growth of more than double of 2020’s.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/423f9d98429b89ae3a53d5643f16096a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"329\"><span>Source: Author, with data from the 2020 NIO Annual Report and our internal forecasts</span></p>\n<p>We believe the anticipated growth in global demand for EVs in the next ten years will continue to benefit NIO’s goals of becoming a dominant player in the industry. Considering NIO’s continued expansion of their product line and global footprint outside of China, we are convinced that the company will break a profit by 2025 with close to 300,000 vehicles delivered.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/476a3a36adc743c78d03a7363d4082bd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"217\"><span>Source: Author, with data from the 2020 NIO Annual Report and our internal forecasts</span></p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Our valuation for NIO over a 10-year discrete period results in an equity value of approximately RMB 313 billion, which is equivalent to US$41.13 per share. NIO is currently traded at $33.82 (May 17thclosing price). This represents an upside potential of approximately 22% based on the current share price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87b0c67693005b7752f9a5e621c07150\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"313\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5c0d6146a7f755627d273a718a521c76\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\"><span>Source: Author, with data from the 2020 NIO Annual Report and our internal forecasts</span></p>\n<p>There have also been speculations on the street that the stock has potential to hit the $300 mark by 2025. Considering NIO’s technological advancement, global expansion, and financial performance, we believe it is possible. Currently, the EV industry’s most prominent name, Tesla, has a market cap of $556.79 billion, which is a little more than 10x of NIO’s market cap of $54.68 billion. With NIO expected to garner international attention and break profits by 2025, we believe it is possible for the brand to achieve a similar trading multiple, which would bring its share price to $340.</p>\n<p>Based on the above analysis, it is evident that NIO’s future is underpinned by strong financial performance propelled by their unwavering determination to disrupt the EV and autonomous driving industry, and remain competitive in the long-run.</p>\n<p><b>Li Auto</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff8f9180180fea14e6139a827a4f44f7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"308\"><span>Source:lixiang.com</span></p>\n<p>Li Auto was founded in 2015 with their first deliveries of the Li Xiang ONE in November 2019. As opposed to NIO’s wide array of EV models for their customers to choose from, LI only offers one model: the Li Xiang ONE, a luxurious SUV with more than 40 premium features, including Napa leather interiors, interactive infotainment system, and ADAS – all for one flat price of RMB 328,000. The brand is expected to launch another premium SUV in 2022, which could be priced anywhere between RMB 200,000 and RMB 500,000 based on their pricing strategy, staying true to their vision to serve the mobility needs of families at an affordable price range.</p>\n<p>As of December 31st, 2020, LI had 52 retail stores and 23 servicing centers across major cities in China. The brand has since&nbsp;expanded at an exponential rate&nbsp;with 73 retail stores covering 53 cities, and 143 servicing centers across 105 cities in China as of April 30th, 2021. Although LI’s customers can easily complete their order with one click online or through the Li Auto App, LI believes in the importance of convenient and accessible retail stores and galleries for their customers across the country to see and feel the driving experience for themselves.</p>\n<p><b>Focused on Quality over Quantity</b></p>\n<p>As mentioned in earlier sections, LI is laser-focused on perfecting the product they have on hand to offer and is not interested in flooding the market with too many options. The company is committed to designing, developing, manufacturing and selling premium smart EVs, specifically SUVs for families. The brand’s dedication to perfecting their art and offering it at a reasonable price range is the recipe for curating a loyal fan base in the long-run.</p>\n<p><b>Business Model</b></p>\n<p>LI is committed to providing families with a safe and luxurious, yet affordable experience through their refined products and services. The brand’s focus on quality over quantity is working for them judging by sales results in 2020. With 2020 being their first full year of operations after commencing deliveries in November 2019, the company has already achieved gross profits of RMB 1.5 billion, which is impressive considering it took NIO more than two years after making their first deliveries to turn year-over-year gross losses into gross profits.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72b7ad462e42f4571b5ca209e480ec39\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source:lixiang.com</span></p>\n<p><b>Technology</b></p>\n<p>The Li Xiang ONE is currently equipped with level 2 autonomous driving features, which include lane-keeping assistance, automatic parking assistance, automatic emergency and traffic alert braking system, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control. However, in terms of progression towards level 4 autonomous driving, LI has not made as many headlines as their competitor NIO, who boasts about award-winning features like NOMI AI.</p>\n<p>Instead, LI’s R&amp;D is focused on developing further enhanced charging and range solutions. LI is known for their extended range electric vehicle (“EREV”) technology – instead of battery swaps, LI’s solution to consumer concerns regarding travel range involves a powertrain that consists of 1) a front electric motor with 100 kW of power, 2) a rear electric motor with 140 kW of power, 3) a 40.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack between the front and rear axles, and 4) a 1.2L turbo-charged engine that can deliver up to 96 kW of power to propel the generator for extended range. LI’s EREV powertrain system enables a combined range of 800 km on a full charge and full fuel tank, while the NIO has an average range of 600km on a full charge. The Beijing and Shanghai R&amp;D team is currently focused on further developing a next-generation EREV powertrain system, battery electric vehicle (“BEV”) powertrain system, high-voltage platforms, high C-rate battery, and other ultra-fast charging technologies. However, this is not to say that LI is completely ignorant about developing their autonomous driving technology; according to their latest annual report, LI's R&amp;D also looks into autonomous driving technologies, next generation intelligent cockpits, operating systems and computing platforms.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18c75ff71ceae388c01501dbfacf8284\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"223\"><span>Source:lixiang.com</span></p>\n<p>Circling back to LI’s investments in enhancing their charging solutions, the brand’s investment in BEV powertrain systems further corroborates their plans to eventually add BEV powertrain vehicles to their product mix in order to gain access to a broader market in the future. This eases a common concern amongst existing and potential LI investors regarding the sustainability and relevance of their flagship EREV powertrain technology given the inevitable shift towards BEVs.</p>\n<p><b>Production strategy</b></p>\n<p>Unlike NIO, LI vertically integrates their productions at their in-house manufacturing facility in Changzhou. This production strategy allows LI to exert complete cost, time and quality control management over the manufacturing process, which further increases their operational efficiency.</p>\n<p>LI plans to double their manufacturing facility’s annual production capacity from 100,000 vehicles to 200,000 vehicles by 2022. The expansion plans are in-line with LI’s plans to launch a second premium SUV in 2022, and is expected to also accommodate future expansions of their product line with BEV powertrain vehicle production capacity.</p>\n<p><b>Talent</b></p>\n<p>Similar to NIO’s founder William Li, LI’s founder Li Xiang is also a veteran in the automotive space. Prior to establishing LI in 2015, Li Xiang was already the founder of Autohome Inc.(NYSE: ATHM),an online platform that offers extensive automobile listing information and transaction processing services. In addition to their founder’s leadership track record, LI also maintains a production engineering and technology team of more than 1,424 employees across their facilities in Shanghai, Beijing and Changzhou.</p>\n<p><b>Fundamentals Deep Dive</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25a922b5dcb40a83d3674d2ec1f98a52\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"304\"><span>Source: Author, with data from the2020 LI Annual Reportand ourinternal forecasts</span></p>\n<p>LI is currently the youngest and newest EV brand in the Chinese EV market. 2020 was LI’s first full year of operations since making their first delivery in late 2019. The company delivered more than 32,600 Li Xiang ONEs in 2020, generating RMB 9.5 billion in revenues and RMB 1.5 billion in gross profits, representing a gross margin of approximately 16%, which shows impressive progress in cost controls considering how new LI is in the industry. In their first full year of operations, LI had already achieved positive cash flows from operating activities of RMB 3.1 billion, which is rare for a new company in an emerging industry like EV and tech. Again, we commend these achievements to LI’s focus on developing a single product and their vertically integrated production line, which has helped them greatly in achieving cost efficiency.</p>\n<p>In the current year, LI has completed more than 18,118 deliveries as of April 30th, indicating promising progress towards breaking 50,000 vehicles sold by the end of the year. At a flat retail price of RMB 328,000, we are forecasting vehicle sales revenues of RMB 17.8 billion and total revenues of RMB 18 billion inclusive of other service package sales. The automaker’s impressive cost control efforts are also expected to land them with profits of close to RMB 2 billion by the end of the year, which is, again, an impressive and rare sighting for a new player in such a capital-intensive and growing industry.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d93983693d71ec64568919f778c90da\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"254\"><span>Source: Author, with data from the 2020 LI Annual Report and our internal forecasts</span></p>\n<p>Considering LI’s plans to expand their product line and production capacity in Changzhou in 2022, we are expecting the company to keep generating profits and positive cash flows from operating activities. We believe the company is capable of generating profits of up to RMB 7.5 billion by 2025, which is more than the amount we have forecasted for NIO. Despite NIO’s extensive operations, we are expecting their profits and cash flows generated from operating activities to fall short of LI’s given their significant investments needed in the R&amp;D aspects of the business, and higher cost inefficiencies caused by their diverse product line and outsourced production strategy.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Our valuation for LI over a 10-year discrete period yields an equity value of approximately RMB 113 billion, which is equivalent to US$20.20 per share. LI is currently traded at $18.85 per share (May 17thclosing price). This represents an upside potential of approximately 7% based on the current share price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e1665e29f3f7f1b0e9129dbffd35d45\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"319\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2012d4468764818975581c02430c74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"321\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89b70bbcdbfa9cf4944c9fd0d7cc5a71\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"222\"><span>Source: Author, with data from the 2020 LI Annual Report and our internal forecasts</span></p>\n<p><b>Industry Risks and ChallengesGlobal Chip Supply Shortage</b></p>\n<p>In the EV space, the most notable challenge faced as of late is none but the global chip shortage. The global chip supply shortfall, caused by&nbsp;heightened demand made worse by global chip production plant shutdowns during the pandemic, has resulted in a frenzy across all industries. The pressing situation is expected to&nbsp;impact automaker revenues by more than $110 billion&nbsp;in 2021 alone. Despite China being home to some of the largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world, domestic EV makers like NIO and LI have not been immune to the situation.</p>\n<p>In March 2021, NIO halted their production activity at the JAC-NIO manufacturing plant for five working days due to the global chip supply shortage. Production levels also fell below initial plans for the month of March. However, the company has shown resilience and strength in navigating through the situation as proven through their monthly delivery updates. The brand maintained their sales momentum with 20,060 vehicle deliveries made in Q1 2021, up by more than 422% compared to Q1 2020. In April, NIO continued to keep up with market demand and delivered another 7,102 vehicles, up by more than 125% year-over-year.</p>\n<p>LI also has not reported any significant impacts to earnings due to the global chip supply shortage yet. The automaker has continued to ramp up deliveries, with more than 18,000 vehicles delivered year-to-date. In April alone, LI delivered more than 5,500 Li Xiang ONES, representing a favourable increase of more than 111% year-over-year.</p>\n<p><b>Government Incentive Reduction</b></p>\n<p>Chinese government subsidies for purchasers of eligible EVs have played a major role in encouraging the growth of EV adoption. More than 1.3 million EVs were sold in China in 2020, representing 41% of global EV sales; these statistics are expected to further increase by 50% in 2021. However, all good things must come to an end. The Chinese government’s subsidy program for EV purchasers is reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis, and is only expected to last until 2022. As of January 1, 2021, the subsidy has already reduced by 20% compared to the year before and is now only applicable to EVs with a sale price under RMB 300,000 or EVs with compatibility with battery swapping technology.</p>\n<p>At NIO, their products are offered at an average price between RMB 350,000 and RMB 450,000, which exceeds the government subsidy threshold. However, the NIO vehicles that are compatible with the brand’s state-of-the-art battery swapping technology would still be eligible for the subsidy. In addition, NIO’s BaaS battery subscription service is also seen as an effective long-term remedy to challenges caused by the reduction of government subsidies for EV purchasers. As mentioned in earlier sections, subscribers to the 70kWh battery pack under BaaS are eligible for a RMB 70,000 price reduction on their vehicle purchase.</p>\n<p>The Li Xiang ONE, priced at RMB 328,000, is also above the government subsidy program threshold. Since LI’s product is offered at a non-negotiable, single-package flat price with no compatibility to any battery swapping technology, Li Xiang ONE purchasers are not eligible for the Chinese government subsidy program. However, LI’s competitive advantage is their affordable pricing. The Li Xiang ONE boasts more than 40 premium features for a price of RMB 328,000 when similar vehicles sell for RMB 600,000+. This gives families who are looking to purchase a premium electric SUV a buffer of more than 45%, which is already more economical and attractive than the Chinese government subsidy.</p>\n<p><b>Global Brand Reception</b></p>\n<p>Every country’s roads are filled with Korean, Japanese, American and German-make cars, but Chinese-make cars have been uncommon outside of their home turf. This has caused uncertainties over global brand reception for NIO and LI. At the end of the day, both NIO and LI are Chinese home-grown brands that have been subject to the first-hand support of their very own. On a global scale, the two names are likely more known for their stocks than the technology they have to offer.</p>\n<p>The upcoming overseas expansion for NIO into Norway will reveal whether being a Chinese-bred automaker will have any impacts to their global reception. It is also expected to pave the way for the international expansion of other Chinese EV brands, and set an example for the “to-dos” and “not-to-dos”.</p>\n<p><b>Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act</b></p>\n<p>Following the allegations of fraud imposed on publicly listed Chinese companies like&nbsp;Luckin Coffee&nbsp;and&nbsp;Orient Paper, investors and regulators have called into question the reliability of audited financial statements prepared in jurisdictions where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) has been denied access to conduct inspections – even those signed off by renowned Big Four audit firms. The PCAOB is an independent committee appointed by the SEC to oversee the audits of public companies to ensure the financial information disclosed in public filings are accurate, and the interests of investors are protected. In 2020, registered public accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong have&nbsp;signed audit reports for 200 publicly listed companies&nbsp;with a combined global market cap of US$2.3 trillion, yet the PCAOB has not been able to effectively access and conduct independent inspections on these audits, which is critical to public investors’ interests.</p>\n<p>The “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” (“HFCA Act”) was enacted on December 18, 2020 to counter the ongoing obstacles to conducting PCAOB inspections. Under the HFCA Act, publicly listed companies that are audited by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning 2021 will be subject to risks of de-listing. Currently, both NIO and LI are audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, which is on PCAOB’s&nbsp;denied-access list. On this basis, NIO and LI continue to run the risk of being delisted from the NYSE and NASDAQ if Chinese authorities and the PCAOB cannot reach an agreement on conducting inspections soon, which could deter investors' confidence and directly impact the two companies’ price performance.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Based on the above analysis, it is evident that NIO operates on a much grander scale than LI. NIO is backed by a solid infrastructure and network that will continue to support its long-term growth. By diversifying their product mix and offering flexibility to customers by offering add-on services that could be adjusted on an as-needed basis, NIO is bound to capture a larger share of the EV market. And with the continued milestones in developing their autonomous driving technology, NIO is rising in the ranks to match competitors like Tesla on a global scale.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, LI remains committed to perfecting the electric SUV it has built by investing in further enhancing their powertrain system to ease customer concerns over travel range and charging times. LI’s priority is to keep improving their hardware and technology to provide Li Xiang ONE owners with the peace of mind that is expected to come with the premium luxury vehicle they have paid for. The premium electric SUV maker seems to care less about where their competitors like NIO, XPeng or Tesla are at on the global scale, and more focused on the job they have on hand – which is to serve the mobility needs of families who have chosen LI. This strategy has worked out for LI so far; the company has already reported positive cash flows from operations in 2020, just one year after making their first delivery. And the likelihood of breaking profits by the end of this year is high based on their increasing deliveries made to date.</p>\n<p>At the end of the day, NIO and LI, although both competing in the EV industry, operate different business models with different long-term goals. On one hand, there is NIO who is looking to compete with globally recognized EV and tech names, and dominate the industry. On the other hand, there is LI who is committed to perfecting their art and capturing the loyalty of those who value their efforts. Based on our financial forecasts and valuation, both companies have a promising outlook and are currently reasonably priced for investors looking for a long-term hold. However, NIO’s developed EV infrastructure and established technology achievements creates a network that is no match for LI; this makes us believe that the former has a much higher growth potential than the latter. If I were a looking to purchase a premium electric SUV, the Li Xiang ONE has definitely captured my interests; however, as an investor, my long-term bets are on NIO.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>NIO Vs Li Auto: Which EV Stock Is The Better Buy Now</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\">\nNIO Vs Li Auto: Which EV Stock Is The Better Buy Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-19 22:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429867-nio-vs-li-auto-stock-better-buy><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nThe general public's attitude towards electric vehicles (\"EVs\") has changed drastically since Tesla's debut in 2008.

Global EV sales jumped 39% in 2020 with further growth expected.\nAside from industry leader Tesla, NIO and LI are currently two of the hottest and fastest growing EV brands in China.\nNIO's innovative technology and developed infrastructure for EVs is expected to further its growth trajectory in the long-run, while LI's \"quality over quantity\" strategy ensures profits sooner.\nIn addition to the global chip supply shortage, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act is another pressing challenge that subjects the two companies to risks of being de-listed, which impacts investors' confidence and their share price performance.\n\nPhoto by cnythzl/DigitalVision Vectors via Getty Images\nThe electric vehicle (“EV”) industry has undeniably become one of the most disruptive entrants to the auto-manufacturing space in recent years. Since Tesla’s debut from way back in 2008, we have seen a drastic change in attitude towards the industry, including a positive shift in customer perceptions and greater government intervention. 2020 was a landmark year for EVs, with global sales representing more than 4.2% of the entire car market, slowly crawling towards internal combustion engine (“ICE”) car sales. Many publicly listed EV makers have also seen record-high price performances in the past year, with some even outperforming the S&P 500.\nSource: Koyfin\nThe latest international dialogues regarding aggressive emissions reduction targets have also created an environment that is expected to supercharge demand in the EV market. Even industrialized emerging markets that rely heavily on coal-fired power plants, like China, have further tightened their pledges to fight climate change; the most populous country in the world has vowed to become carbon neutral by 2060. The Chinese market is by far the fastest growing EV market. On top of their emissions targets, the significant national and local financial incentives favouring EV and domestically produced vehicle sales have further encouraged growth of EV adoption; these financial incentives have become an effective mechanism for making EVs an attractive yet affordable option for new car owners.\nWith significant progress made in the EV industry comes an influx of brands trying to compete for a piece of the pie. The first name that comes to mind is none but Tesla. But aside from Tesla, Chinese EV brands NIO (NYSE: NIO) and Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) have also started to gain prominence in the EV space.\nNIO was founded in 2014 and made their first delivery in 2018. To date, the company has sold and delivered more than 95,700 vehicles. In addition to car sales, the brand also offers NIO owners with access to their developed EV charging infrastructure through various service packages catered to specific customer needs. NIO is also heavily invested in developing their autonomous driving and AI technology. Shortly after introducing NOMI, an in-vehicle AI that will be the core support of NIO’s future fleet of autonomous vehicles, NIO also announced their collaboration with Mobileye to develop and commercialize driving automation that does not require human interaction (i.e. “level 4” autonomous driving). The brand has also materialized their international expansion plans through the recently confirmed opening of their first Norway store in Q3 2021, with four more on the way slated for 2022.\nLI, on the other hand, was founded in 2015 and started volume production and delivery of their flagship SUV, the Li Xiang ONE, in November 2019. To date, the brand has delivered more than 51,700 of the Li Xiang ONE with speculations on the launch of another premium SUV in 2022. Different from other EV brands that offer a wide array of models for customers to choose from, LI prides itself on quality over quantity with a focus on perfecting their craft on limited core products. The Li Xiang ONE currently includes more than 40 premium features in one standard package that puts them on par with other luxury SUVs in the RMB 600,000+ price range. LI’s target audience are families looking for a luxurious yet affordable SUV – their luxury SUV described above retails at a flat price of RMB 328,000. Their family centric values are embedded in their brand’s vision, with “dedication to serving mobility needs of families in China”. The premium electric SUV automaker has no plans on changing their pricing strategy and hopes to keep their products highly accessible, gunning at a retail price between RMB 200,000 and RMB 500,000 for all current and upcoming products.\nBased on the brief overview of the two hottest EV brands in China, you might have noticed that they operate different business models. Like Microsoft, NIO strives to dominate the Chinese, and perhaps the global, EV and tech space by investing in both the hardware and software of their vehicles; NIO understands that the EV industry is a tech-play and they are equipped to compete in this arena. Meanwhile, LI imitates Apple in terms of perfecting their product and user experience, and is destined to garner a loyal fan base.\nNIO Inc.\nSource:nio.com\nNIO Inc. was founded in 2014 with their first delivery of the flagship SUV model ES8 in 2018. The brand currently boasts a portfolio of five models, all of which are zero-emission and purely battery powered: EP9 (2-seater sports car), ES8 (7- and 6-seater SUV), ES6 (5-seater SUV), EC6 (5-seater SUV coupe) and ET7 (luxury sedan launched in 2021 with delivery commencing in Q1 2022).\nDubbed as the pioneer in China’s premium EV market, NIO has shaped itself into Tesla’s top competitor in China in recent years. Considering the latest backlash Tesla received from the Chinese government, NIO might have just garnered itself another point in the fierce competition for market share in the growing Chinese EV market. With their latest expansion into Norway and recent breakthroughs in the autonomous driving scene, NIO exhibits promising long-term growth potentials that will make it the Microsoft of China’s, and perhaps even the world’s, EV industry.\nPromising Long-Term Growth\nNIO encompasses the brand, customer experience, production strategy, talent and business model needed to take off as the dominating leader in the EV industry.\nBrand\nIn China, NIO represents innovation and is regarded as the forerunner in the Chinese premium EV market. It is estimated that NIO holds approximately 23% of China’s EV SUV marketshare, exceeding Tesla’s 17%. Although the brand is already prominent on home soil, NIO’s latest expansion into the European market is expected to broadcast its name to the global EV and automobile industry, which will help further secure their share of the growing global demand for EVs.\nCustomer service\nThe brand is not only focused on penetrating the EV industry with their vehicles, but also the infrastructure needed to support the sustainability of EVs as the primary source of transportation in the future. NIO’s attention to building the infrastructure needed to support their fleet of EVs alleviates customers’ concerns over range and convenience of operating an EV in the long-run, further enhancing customer experience and securing customer loyalty.\nThe brand is also known for their wide array of exclusive value-add services, including Battery as a Service (“Baas”), the NIO app, Power Express, Power Mobile, and many more. The most notable of which is BaaS, which is a monthly battery subscription service that not only reduces the overall car purchase price, but also provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal needs. The brand is also known for their developed charging infrastructure, which eases car owners’ top concerns over range and charge time of EVs. Currently, NIO cars are compatible with two battery options – 70 kWh and 100 kWh – which NIO owners have convenient access to through the BaaS subscription service. Concerns over EV range are also addressed by close to 800 power charging stations covering 53 major cities in China; NIO vehicles are also compatible with XPeng’s network of 1,140 charging stations across 164 cities in China, which further relieves skepticism over range. And to address consumer concerns over lengthy charging times, NIO launched “Power Swap” in 2017; similar to the typical gas or power charging stations, Power Swap is a battery swapping station that could swap your dead battery out for a fully charged one in no more than three minutes, which is a significant improvement from the 30-minute charging times required to fully charge an EV.\nSource:nio.com\nProduction strategy\nNIO currently outsources the production of their vehicles to Jianghuai Automobile Group (“JAC”), a state-owned automobile manufacturer in China. The strategy has previously raised investors’ concerns over whether NIO can efficiently and effectively manage their production costs, and control the overall production process; as part of their original manufacturing arrangement with JAC entered into in April 2018, NIO compensated JAC for operating losses incurred for the first 36 months of their partnership, which totaled more than RMB 450 million. In order to reclaim control over the production process of their fleet, NIO has recently formed a joint venture with JAC for managing the manufacturing process of NIO vehicles; NIO contributed RMB 500 million for a 49% equity interest in the joint venture arrangement. Currently, JAC has annual production capacity of 120,000 vehicles for NIO. Given the increasing demand for NIO vehicles as well as the company’s own overseas expansion plans, there have been speculations of a new production plant to be built in Beijing which will be a preemptive move to address the gap emerging between manufacturer capacity and demand from customers in the EV market.\nTalent\nNIO is propelled by a competent management team. Before forming NIO, the brand’s founder and current CEO, William Li, was already an established entrepreneur in the auto space known for creating Bitauto Holdings (NYSE: BITA), an online platform that promotes and facilitates automobile purchase transactions in China. William Li is known to be an experienced and charismatic leader with proven strength in raising capital for growing the brand, and a track record for delivering on planned results. Wei Feng, NIO’s current CFO, also holds more than 15 years of experience in analyzing the financial performance of key players across the automotive industry. In addition to the core management team stationed in Shanghai, NIO also consists of world class talent leading their R&D centers for software and advanced technology in Beijing and San Jose, global design center in Munich, and global performance and advanced concept engineering facility in Oxford.\nBusiness model\nIn order to maintain their position as a competitive brand in the broader EV and tech space, NIO’s vision expands beyond the horizons of just building electric cars and their supporting infrastructure. Behind the scenes, NIO is committed to perfecting their autonomous driving and AI technology. In 2018, NIO announced their launch of NOMI AI, the world’s first in-vehicle artificial intelligence that goes beyond standard infotainment and navigation functions; NOMI AI is expected to streamline the future autonomous driving experience for NIO owners. The technology was also the chosen winner for the 2021 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award conferred by the Business Intelligence Group, providing further recognition on NIO’s achievements in the autonomous driving development space. NIO has also debuted EVE, their concept car for autonomous driving that encompasses everything they have envisioned – a comfortable and spacious interior cabin that can accommodate up to six passengers, offering a safe and relaxing experience powered by NOMI AI.\nSource:nio.com\nNIO has also partnered with Mobileye, an Intel-owned company based in Israel focused on developing self-driving technology and advanced driver-assistance systems (“ADAS”), to make level 4 automated driving possible and available to the public. The arrangement involves NIO’s contribution of their engineering and manufacturing expertise to mass-produce Mobileye’s self-driving technology, as well as integrating it into NIO’s line-up of vehicles. Mobileye also has plans to transform their self-driving technology into a driverless ride-hailing service, for which NIO will supply the EVs for. The partnership is also expected to fast-track NIO’s efforts in making “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”), a subscription package for their autonomous driving technology “NIO Autonomous Driving” (“NAD”), available to the public by early 2022 for a monthly subscription fee of RMB 680. The deployment of this technology will be a milestone for NIO and catapult the brand to a leading position in the EV and tech scene.\nNIO’s investment in autonomous driving and AI technology shows the brand’s understanding of what the future in tech entails. Tech giants like Amazon, Google and Facebook all have one thing in common, and that is their ability to gather data on consumer behaviour and preference which will be critical for exceling in the future tech space. NIO understands the importance of this point and is active in developing their NOMI AI technology in order to achieve progress on this spectrum and stay competitive in the tech space. What differentiates NIO from their domestic competitors like LI is that they are not only an automaker, but also a tech company. This strategic move is bound to expose NIO to future opportunities far beyond just producing and selling EVs.\nFundamentals Deep Dive\nSource: Author, with data from the2020 NIO Annual Reportand ourinternal forecasts\nSince NIO’s IPO in 2018, the company has consistently reported year-on-year losses and negative cash flows from operations due to the capital-intensive nature of the business. However, the company has proven their ability to turn this around through strong car sales in the Chinese market in the last two years. In 2020, NIO’s revenues more than doubled from RMB 7.8 billion in 2019 to RMB 16.3 billion in 2020 thanks to the overall increase in number of vehicles sold and incremental revenues from service subscriptions. NIO’s gross margin successfully emerged from the negatives to a strong 12% in FY 2020 (17.2% in Q4 2020). For the latest quarter ended March 31, 2021, NIO achieved a gross margin of 19.5%, comparable with industry leaders like Tesla (Q1 2021 gross margin 21%).\nThe company has also reported positive cash flows from operating activities of RMB 1.95 billion for the first time in 2020; this number represents a 1.22x year-over-year increase, primarily attributable to their overall increase in vehicle and service package sales. In 2020, NIO sold more than 43,700 vehicles.\nThe Chinese EV market is expected to grow by more than 50% in 2021, and we are confident that NIO is adequately positioned to capture a large share of this growth. Their latest launch of the ET7 luxury sedan is also expected to directly compete with Tesla’s Model S; the new model will commence delivery in early 2022 and have already received positive public reception thanks to its convenient battery swap compatibility, making it a more convenient option compared to Tesla’s Model S. In addition, NIO’s entry into the European EV market, which represents 42% of global EV sales, with their first store to open in Oslo in Q3 2021 is expected to further bolster their sales and earnings performance. Our forecasts predict deliveries of more than 84,000 vehicles in both China and Norway by the end of the year, generating total revenues of more than RMB 34 billion which represents growth of more than double of 2020’s.\nSource: Author, with data from the 2020 NIO Annual Report and our internal forecasts\nWe believe the anticipated growth in global demand for EVs in the next ten years will continue to benefit NIO’s goals of becoming a dominant player in the industry. Considering NIO’s continued expansion of their product line and global footprint outside of China, we are convinced that the company will break a profit by 2025 with close to 300,000 vehicles delivered.\nSource: Author, with data from the 2020 NIO Annual Report and our internal forecasts\nValuation\nOur valuation for NIO over a 10-year discrete period results in an equity value of approximately RMB 313 billion, which is equivalent to US$41.13 per share. NIO is currently traded at $33.82 (May 17thclosing price). This represents an upside potential of approximately 22% based on the current share price.\n\nSource: Author, with data from the 2020 NIO Annual Report and our internal forecasts\nThere have also been speculations on the street that the stock has potential to hit the $300 mark by 2025. Considering NIO’s technological advancement, global expansion, and financial performance, we believe it is possible. Currently, the EV industry’s most prominent name, Tesla, has a market cap of $556.79 billion, which is a little more than 10x of NIO’s market cap of $54.68 billion. With NIO expected to garner international attention and break profits by 2025, we believe it is possible for the brand to achieve a similar trading multiple, which would bring its share price to $340.\nBased on the above analysis, it is evident that NIO’s future is underpinned by strong financial performance propelled by their unwavering determination to disrupt the EV and autonomous driving industry, and remain competitive in the long-run.\nLi Auto\nSource:lixiang.com\nLi Auto was founded in 2015 with their first deliveries of the Li Xiang ONE in November 2019. As opposed to NIO’s wide array of EV models for their customers to choose from, LI only offers one model: the Li Xiang ONE, a luxurious SUV with more than 40 premium features, including Napa leather interiors, interactive infotainment system, and ADAS – all for one flat price of RMB 328,000. The brand is expected to launch another premium SUV in 2022, which could be priced anywhere between RMB 200,000 and RMB 500,000 based on their pricing strategy, staying true to their vision to serve the mobility needs of families at an affordable price range.\nAs of December 31st, 2020, LI had 52 retail stores and 23 servicing centers across major cities in China. The brand has since expanded at an exponential rate with 73 retail stores covering 53 cities, and 143 servicing centers across 105 cities in China as of April 30th, 2021. Although LI’s customers can easily complete their order with one click online or through the Li Auto App, LI believes in the importance of convenient and accessible retail stores and galleries for their customers across the country to see and feel the driving experience for themselves.\nFocused on Quality over Quantity\nAs mentioned in earlier sections, LI is laser-focused on perfecting the product they have on hand to offer and is not interested in flooding the market with too many options. The company is committed to designing, developing, manufacturing and selling premium smart EVs, specifically SUVs for families. The brand’s dedication to perfecting their art and offering it at a reasonable price range is the recipe for curating a loyal fan base in the long-run.\nBusiness Model\nLI is committed to providing families with a safe and luxurious, yet affordable experience through their refined products and services. The brand’s focus on quality over quantity is working for them judging by sales results in 2020. With 2020 being their first full year of operations after commencing deliveries in November 2019, the company has already achieved gross profits of RMB 1.5 billion, which is impressive considering it took NIO more than two years after making their first deliveries to turn year-over-year gross losses into gross profits.\nSource:lixiang.com\nTechnology\nThe Li Xiang ONE is currently equipped with level 2 autonomous driving features, which include lane-keeping assistance, automatic parking assistance, automatic emergency and traffic alert braking system, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control. However, in terms of progression towards level 4 autonomous driving, LI has not made as many headlines as their competitor NIO, who boasts about award-winning features like NOMI AI.\nInstead, LI’s R&D is focused on developing further enhanced charging and range solutions. LI is known for their extended range electric vehicle (“EREV”) technology – instead of battery swaps, LI’s solution to consumer concerns regarding travel range involves a powertrain that consists of 1) a front electric motor with 100 kW of power, 2) a rear electric motor with 140 kW of power, 3) a 40.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack between the front and rear axles, and 4) a 1.2L turbo-charged engine that can deliver up to 96 kW of power to propel the generator for extended range. LI’s EREV powertrain system enables a combined range of 800 km on a full charge and full fuel tank, while the NIO has an average range of 600km on a full charge. The Beijing and Shanghai R&D team is currently focused on further developing a next-generation EREV powertrain system, battery electric vehicle (“BEV”) powertrain system, high-voltage platforms, high C-rate battery, and other ultra-fast charging technologies. However, this is not to say that LI is completely ignorant about developing their autonomous driving technology; according to their latest annual report, LI's R&D also looks into autonomous driving technologies, next generation intelligent cockpits, operating systems and computing platforms.\nSource:lixiang.com\nCircling back to LI’s investments in enhancing their charging solutions, the brand’s investment in BEV powertrain systems further corroborates their plans to eventually add BEV powertrain vehicles to their product mix in order to gain access to a broader market in the future. This eases a common concern amongst existing and potential LI investors regarding the sustainability and relevance of their flagship EREV powertrain technology given the inevitable shift towards BEVs.\nProduction strategy\nUnlike NIO, LI vertically integrates their productions at their in-house manufacturing facility in Changzhou. This production strategy allows LI to exert complete cost, time and quality control management over the manufacturing process, which further increases their operational efficiency.\nLI plans to double their manufacturing facility’s annual production capacity from 100,000 vehicles to 200,000 vehicles by 2022. The expansion plans are in-line with LI’s plans to launch a second premium SUV in 2022, and is expected to also accommodate future expansions of their product line with BEV powertrain vehicle production capacity.\nTalent\nSimilar to NIO’s founder William Li, LI’s founder Li Xiang is also a veteran in the automotive space. Prior to establishing LI in 2015, Li Xiang was already the founder of Autohome Inc.(NYSE: ATHM),an online platform that offers extensive automobile listing information and transaction processing services. In addition to their founder’s leadership track record, LI also maintains a production engineering and technology team of more than 1,424 employees across their facilities in Shanghai, Beijing and Changzhou.\nFundamentals Deep Dive\nSource: Author, with data from the2020 LI Annual Reportand ourinternal forecasts\nLI is currently the youngest and newest EV brand in the Chinese EV market. 2020 was LI’s first full year of operations since making their first delivery in late 2019. The company delivered more than 32,600 Li Xiang ONEs in 2020, generating RMB 9.5 billion in revenues and RMB 1.5 billion in gross profits, representing a gross margin of approximately 16%, which shows impressive progress in cost controls considering how new LI is in the industry. In their first full year of operations, LI had already achieved positive cash flows from operating activities of RMB 3.1 billion, which is rare for a new company in an emerging industry like EV and tech. Again, we commend these achievements to LI’s focus on developing a single product and their vertically integrated production line, which has helped them greatly in achieving cost efficiency.\nIn the current year, LI has completed more than 18,118 deliveries as of April 30th, indicating promising progress towards breaking 50,000 vehicles sold by the end of the year. At a flat retail price of RMB 328,000, we are forecasting vehicle sales revenues of RMB 17.8 billion and total revenues of RMB 18 billion inclusive of other service package sales. The automaker’s impressive cost control efforts are also expected to land them with profits of close to RMB 2 billion by the end of the year, which is, again, an impressive and rare sighting for a new player in such a capital-intensive and growing industry.\nSource: Author, with data from the 2020 LI Annual Report and our internal forecasts\nConsidering LI’s plans to expand their product line and production capacity in Changzhou in 2022, we are expecting the company to keep generating profits and positive cash flows from operating activities. We believe the company is capable of generating profits of up to RMB 7.5 billion by 2025, which is more than the amount we have forecasted for NIO. Despite NIO’s extensive operations, we are expecting their profits and cash flows generated from operating activities to fall short of LI’s given their significant investments needed in the R&D aspects of the business, and higher cost inefficiencies caused by their diverse product line and outsourced production strategy.\nValuation\nOur valuation for LI over a 10-year discrete period yields an equity value of approximately RMB 113 billion, which is equivalent to US$20.20 per share. LI is currently traded at $18.85 per share (May 17thclosing price). This represents an upside potential of approximately 7% based on the current share price.\n\n\nSource: Author, with data from the 2020 LI Annual Report and our internal forecasts\nIndustry Risks and ChallengesGlobal Chip Supply Shortage\nIn the EV space, the most notable challenge faced as of late is none but the global chip shortage. The global chip supply shortfall, caused by heightened demand made worse by global chip production plant shutdowns during the pandemic, has resulted in a frenzy across all industries. The pressing situation is expected to impact automaker revenues by more than $110 billion in 2021 alone. Despite China being home to some of the largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world, domestic EV makers like NIO and LI have not been immune to the situation.\nIn March 2021, NIO halted their production activity at the JAC-NIO manufacturing plant for five working days due to the global chip supply shortage. Production levels also fell below initial plans for the month of March. However, the company has shown resilience and strength in navigating through the situation as proven through their monthly delivery updates. The brand maintained their sales momentum with 20,060 vehicle deliveries made in Q1 2021, up by more than 422% compared to Q1 2020. In April, NIO continued to keep up with market demand and delivered another 7,102 vehicles, up by more than 125% year-over-year.\nLI also has not reported any significant impacts to earnings due to the global chip supply shortage yet. The automaker has continued to ramp up deliveries, with more than 18,000 vehicles delivered year-to-date. In April alone, LI delivered more than 5,500 Li Xiang ONES, representing a favourable increase of more than 111% year-over-year.\nGovernment Incentive Reduction\nChinese government subsidies for purchasers of eligible EVs have played a major role in encouraging the growth of EV adoption. More than 1.3 million EVs were sold in China in 2020, representing 41% of global EV sales; these statistics are expected to further increase by 50% in 2021. However, all good things must come to an end. The Chinese government’s subsidy program for EV purchasers is reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis, and is only expected to last until 2022. As of January 1, 2021, the subsidy has already reduced by 20% compared to the year before and is now only applicable to EVs with a sale price under RMB 300,000 or EVs with compatibility with battery swapping technology.\nAt NIO, their products are offered at an average price between RMB 350,000 and RMB 450,000, which exceeds the government subsidy threshold. However, the NIO vehicles that are compatible with the brand’s state-of-the-art battery swapping technology would still be eligible for the subsidy. In addition, NIO’s BaaS battery subscription service is also seen as an effective long-term remedy to challenges caused by the reduction of government subsidies for EV purchasers. As mentioned in earlier sections, subscribers to the 70kWh battery pack under BaaS are eligible for a RMB 70,000 price reduction on their vehicle purchase.\nThe Li Xiang ONE, priced at RMB 328,000, is also above the government subsidy program threshold. Since LI’s product is offered at a non-negotiable, single-package flat price with no compatibility to any battery swapping technology, Li Xiang ONE purchasers are not eligible for the Chinese government subsidy program. However, LI’s competitive advantage is their affordable pricing. The Li Xiang ONE boasts more than 40 premium features for a price of RMB 328,000 when similar vehicles sell for RMB 600,000+. This gives families who are looking to purchase a premium electric SUV a buffer of more than 45%, which is already more economical and attractive than the Chinese government subsidy.\nGlobal Brand Reception\nEvery country’s roads are filled with Korean, Japanese, American and German-make cars, but Chinese-make cars have been uncommon outside of their home turf. This has caused uncertainties over global brand reception for NIO and LI. At the end of the day, both NIO and LI are Chinese home-grown brands that have been subject to the first-hand support of their very own. On a global scale, the two names are likely more known for their stocks than the technology they have to offer.\nThe upcoming overseas expansion for NIO into Norway will reveal whether being a Chinese-bred automaker will have any impacts to their global reception. It is also expected to pave the way for the international expansion of other Chinese EV brands, and set an example for the “to-dos” and “not-to-dos”.\nHolding Foreign Companies Accountable Act\nFollowing the allegations of fraud imposed on publicly listed Chinese companies like Luckin Coffee and Orient Paper, investors and regulators have called into question the reliability of audited financial statements prepared in jurisdictions where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) has been denied access to conduct inspections – even those signed off by renowned Big Four audit firms. The PCAOB is an independent committee appointed by the SEC to oversee the audits of public companies to ensure the financial information disclosed in public filings are accurate, and the interests of investors are protected. In 2020, registered public accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong have signed audit reports for 200 publicly listed companies with a combined global market cap of US$2.3 trillion, yet the PCAOB has not been able to effectively access and conduct independent inspections on these audits, which is critical to public investors’ interests.\nThe “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” (“HFCA Act”) was enacted on December 18, 2020 to counter the ongoing obstacles to conducting PCAOB inspections. Under the HFCA Act, publicly listed companies that are audited by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning 2021 will be subject to risks of de-listing. Currently, both NIO and LI are audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, which is on PCAOB’s denied-access list. On this basis, NIO and LI continue to run the risk of being delisted from the NYSE and NASDAQ if Chinese authorities and the PCAOB cannot reach an agreement on conducting inspections soon, which could deter investors' confidence and directly impact the two companies’ price performance.\nConclusion\nBased on the above analysis, it is evident that NIO operates on a much grander scale than LI. NIO is backed by a solid infrastructure and network that will continue to support its long-term growth. By diversifying their product mix and offering flexibility to customers by offering add-on services that could be adjusted on an as-needed basis, NIO is bound to capture a larger share of the EV market. And with the continued milestones in developing their autonomous driving technology, NIO is rising in the ranks to match competitors like Tesla on a global scale.\nMeanwhile, LI remains committed to perfecting the electric SUV it has built by investing in further enhancing their powertrain system to ease customer concerns over travel range and charging times. LI’s priority is to keep improving their hardware and technology to provide Li Xiang ONE owners with the peace of mind that is expected to come with the premium luxury vehicle they have paid for. The premium electric SUV maker seems to care less about where their competitors like NIO, XPeng or Tesla are at on the global scale, and more focused on the job they have on hand – which is to serve the mobility needs of families who have chosen LI. This strategy has worked out for LI so far; the company has already reported positive cash flows from operations in 2020, just one year after making their first delivery. And the likelihood of breaking profits by the end of this year is high based on their increasing deliveries made to date.\nAt the end of the day, NIO and LI, although both competing in the EV industry, operate different business models with different long-term goals. On one hand, there is NIO who is looking to compete with globally recognized EV and tech names, and dominate the industry. On the other hand, there is LI who is committed to perfecting their art and capturing the loyalty of those who value their efforts. Based on our financial forecasts and valuation, both companies have a promising outlook and are currently reasonably priced for investors looking for a long-term hold. However, NIO’s developed EV infrastructure and established technology achievements creates a network that is no match for LI; this makes us believe that the former has a much higher growth potential than the latter. If I were a looking to purchase a premium electric SUV, the Li Xiang ONE has definitely captured my interests; however, as an investor, my long-term bets are on NIO.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":409,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197162712,"gmtCreate":1621434197036,"gmtModify":1704357611560,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Isnt new function more reliable?","listText":"Isnt new function more reliable?","text":"Isnt new function more reliable?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197162712","repostId":"1148500659","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148500659","pubTimestamp":1621433807,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148500659?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 22:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buy Apple Stock Now? 3 Important Metrics To Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148500659","media":"TheStreet","summary":"As Apple stock remains stuck near $125 apiece, might now be a good time to buy shares?

The items range from basic oat milk, to even ice cream and yogurt made from oat milk. According to its website, Oatly’s goal is “to make it easy for people to turn what they eat and drink into personal moments of healthy joy without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process.”</p><p>Oatly confidentially filed for its IPO back in February, then officiallyset terms of the move last week. According to multiple outlets, Oatly will offer about 84.4 million American depositary shares (ADS) at between $15 and $17 per share. In total, the Oatly IPO could reach a $10.1 billion valuation, and the firm hopes to raise $1.1 billion.</p><p>Additionally, Oatly plans to trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker “OTLY” and had nine lead underwriters for its IPO.</p><p><b>The majority shareholder</b></p><p>Oatly was founded in 1994 by Rickard Oste, a professor of food chemistry and nutrition in Sweden, and his brother Bjorn Oste. Working in Malmo, Sweden, they developed a way of processing a slurry of oats and water with enzymes to produce natural sweetness and a milk-like taste and consistency.</p><p>Oatly’s image benefited from a roster of celebrity investors, including Oprah Winfrey, Natalie Portman, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company, and Howard Schultz, the former chief executive of Starbucks. All have some connection to the plant-based or healthy living movement.</p><p>The majority shareholder is a partnership between an entity owned by the Chinese government and Verlinvest, a Belgian firm that invests some of the wealth of the families that control the Anheuser-Busch InBev beer empire. Blackstone, the giant private equity firm, owns a little less than 8 percent in Oatly.</p><p>The company’s growth went into overdrive after Verlinvest bought a majority stake in 2016 via a joint venture with China Resources, a state-owned conglomerate with vast holdings in cement, power generation, coal mining, beer, retailing and many other industries. The new financing helped Oatly to expand in Europe and begin exporting to the United States and China, where many people cannot tolerate cow’s milk. China Resources’ involvement undoubtedly helped open doors in the Chinese market. Asia, primarily China, accounted for 18 percent of sales in the first quarter of 2021, and is growing at a rate of 450 percent a year, according to Oatly.</p><p>In Europe, there is growing alarm about Chinese investment in strategic industries like autos, batteries and robotics. The European Commission has begun erecting regulatory barriers to companies with financial links to the Chinese government. But so far no one has expressed fear that China will dominate the world’s supply of oat milk.</p><p>Just in case, Oatly’s prospectus gives it the option of listing in Hong Kong if the foreign ownership becomes a problem in the United States.</p><p><b>The Key Markets</b></p><p>Oat milk is part of a larger trend toward food that mimics animal products. So-called food tech companies like Beyond Meat have raised a little more than $18 billion in venture funding, according to PitchBook, which tracks the industry. Plant-based dairy, which in the United States includes brands like Ripple (made from peas) and Mooala (bananas), raised $640 million last year, more than double the amount raised a year earlier.</p><p>According to the Plant Based Foods Association and Good Foods Institute, plant-based-food sales reached $7 billion in 2020.</p><p>Consumer Insights data quoted in the prospectus says the plant-based milk category will grow 20% to 25% over the next three years.</p><p>Oatly is focused on its role in helping to transform the food industry in order to be better for the environment and meet the health needs of its customers.

The items range from basic oat milk, to even ice cream and yogurt made from oat milk. According to its website, Oatly’s goal is “to make it easy for people to turn what they eat and drink into personal moments of healthy joy without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process.”</p><p>Oatly confidentially filed for its IPO back in February, then officiallyset terms of the move last week. According to multiple outlets, Oatly will offer about 84.4 million American depositary shares (ADS) at between $15 and $17 per share. In total, the Oatly IPO could reach a $10.1 billion valuation, and the firm hopes to raise $1.1 billion.</p><p>Additionally, Oatly plans to trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker “OTLY” and had nine lead underwriters for its IPO.</p><p><b>The majority shareholder</b></p><p>Oatly was founded in 1994 by Rickard Oste, a professor of food chemistry and nutrition in Sweden, and his brother Bjorn Oste. Working in Malmo, Sweden, they developed a way of processing a slurry of oats and water with enzymes to produce natural sweetness and a milk-like taste and consistency.</p><p>Oatly’s image benefited from a roster of celebrity investors, including Oprah Winfrey, Natalie Portman, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company, and Howard Schultz, the former chief executive of Starbucks. All have some connection to the plant-based or healthy living movement.</p><p>The majority shareholder is a partnership between an entity owned by the Chinese government and Verlinvest, a Belgian firm that invests some of the wealth of the families that control the Anheuser-Busch InBev beer empire. Blackstone, the giant private equity firm, owns a little less than 8 percent in Oatly.</p><p>The company’s growth went into overdrive after Verlinvest bought a majority stake in 2016 via a joint venture with China Resources, a state-owned conglomerate with vast holdings in cement, power generation, coal mining, beer, retailing and many other industries. The new financing helped Oatly to expand in Europe and begin exporting to the United States and China, where many people cannot tolerate cow’s milk. China Resources’ involvement undoubtedly helped open doors in the Chinese market. Asia, primarily China, accounted for 18 percent of sales in the first quarter of 2021, and is growing at a rate of 450 percent a year, according to Oatly.</p><p>In Europe, there is growing alarm about Chinese investment in strategic industries like autos, batteries and robotics. The European Commission has begun erecting regulatory barriers to companies with financial links to the Chinese government. But so far no one has expressed fear that China will dominate the world’s supply of oat milk.</p><p>Just in case, Oatly’s prospectus gives it the option of listing in Hong Kong if the foreign ownership becomes a problem in the United States.</p><p><b>The Key Markets</b></p><p>Oat milk is part of a larger trend toward food that mimics animal products. So-called food tech companies like Beyond Meat have raised a little more than $18 billion in venture funding, according to PitchBook, which tracks the industry. Plant-based dairy, which in the United States includes brands like Ripple (made from peas) and Mooala (bananas), raised $640 million last year, more than double the amount raised a year earlier.</p><p>According to the Plant Based Foods Association and Good Foods Institute, plant-based-food sales reached $7 billion in 2020.</p><p>Consumer Insights data quoted in the prospectus says the plant-based milk category will grow 20% to 25% over the next three years.</p><p>Oatly is focused on its role in helping to transform the food industry in order to be better for the environment and meet the health needs of its customers.

Nestlé has begun selling a tuna substitute called Vuna and is working on scallops.“It’s a great opportunity to combine health with sustainability,” Mr. Palzer said of plant-based alternatives to milk and meat. “It’s also a great growth opportunity.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":118,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":131530680,"gmtCreate":1621866427840,"gmtModify":1704363569351,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is this a good sign?","listText":"Is this a good sign?","text":"Is this a good sign?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/131530680","repostId":"2137153490","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":499,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":107777902,"gmtCreate":1620546524806,"gmtModify":1704344858584,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is never a one way street.","listText":"Is never a one way street.","text":"Is never a one way street.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/107777902","repostId":"1170905579","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170905579","pubTimestamp":1620462497,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170905579?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-08 16:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The real story of the Trump-Facebook saga","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170905579","media":"Yahoo Finance ","summary":"It’s not this complicated.Like other bumbling corporations reluctant to take a stand, Facebook and i","content":"<p>It’s not this complicated.</p><p>Like other bumbling corporations reluctant to take a stand, Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, have turned a temporary controversy into an ongoing fiasco.

Since then, the company has maintained and even extended its lead on the competition, currently clocking in at roughly $2.25 trillion.</p>\n<p>The tech titan's detractors insist that there are no worlds left for Apple to conquer and investors would be better served to put their money elsewhere. Yet even as the most valuable company in the world, there are still plenty of reasons for investors to buy Apple stock and never sell. Let's look at six reasons in particular.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e180ab398f74bb0220c1ff12be6d064\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>1. The Warren Buffett seal of approval</h2>\n<p>Investors could do far worse than follow the example of legendary money manager Warren Buffett. Since taking the helm of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> in 1965, the so-called \"Oracle of Omaha\" has led investors to breathtaking returns, delivering a compound annual growth rate of more than 20%. By the end of 2020, its overall returns grew by a staggering 2,810,526% since he took it over.</p>\n<p>Buffett has made no secret of his love of Apple, saying \"It's probably the best business I know in the world.\" He's gone even further, noting:</p>\n<blockquote>\n We bought about 5% of the company. I'd love to own 100% of it. ... We like very much the economics of their activities. We like very much the management and the way they think.\n</blockquote>\n<p>That's nothing less than a ringing endorsement from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the world's most successful investors.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f3f0d40064734b93266d8ec30d4ed7d2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Apple.</p>\n<h2>2. The resurgence of the iPhone</h2>\n<p>It wasn't terribly long ago that some were declaring the death of the iPhone, but the release of its latest device product lineup has shown that simply isn't the case. Apple launched four new iPhone models in 2020 -- the most ever released in a single year. The iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max run the gamut in terms of retail price and capabilities, and they truly offer something for everyone.</p>\n<p>During the 2020 holiday quarter, Apple reported all-time record revenue of $111 billion, up 21% year over year, with 59% of that coming from iPhone sales. That could be just the beginning. Earlier this year, CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has an installed base of 1.65 billion devices, including more than 1 billion active iPhones. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives estimates that roughly 40% of iPhone users haven't upgraded their device over the past 3.5 years. This could be the beginning of the long-awaited \"supercycle,\" which could ultimately drive Apple's market cap to $3 trillion over the coming year.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a64009d3188b63b0581fb1831fef8757\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"625\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Apple.</p>\n<h2>3. Apple: It's what the fashionable are wearing</h2>\n<p>Investors shouldn't underestimate the growing importance of Apple's wearables business. In fiscal 2020 (ended Sept. 26, 2020), the company's wearables, home, and accessories segment grew 25% compared to 2019, generating a record $30 billion and accounting for more than 11% of Apple's total revenue. Not only that, but the segment ended the year on a high note, with each product category -- wearables, home, and accessories -- generating record sales. Apple noted at the time that its \"wearables business is now the size of a Fortune 130 company.\"</p>\n<p>Over the past six months, growth in the segment has accelerated. Wearables, home, and accessories revenue climbed nearly 28% year over year, led by strong demand for AirPods, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbf3b3b69fdf1c8681bf8a77927aba27\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"510\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Apple.</p>\n<h2>4. It's all about the services</h2>\n<p>Cook announced in early 2017 that Apple was aiming to double its services revenue by the end of 2020. In July 2020, he revealed that Apple had achieved that lofty goal a full six months ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p>The business is off to a quick start in 2021. For Apple's fiscal 2021 second quarter (ended March 27, 2021), the services segment posted all-time record revenue of $16.9 billion, up nearly 27% year over year, and marking the fastest rate of growth in more than two years.</p>\n<p>The gains were driven by 660 million paid subscribers across Apple's services segment, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, the App Store, and iCloud, among others. CFO Luca Maestri said that the company's video, music, games, and advertising businesses all had a record-setting quarter. The segment represents roughly 19% of Apple's total revenue -- even with the recent surge in iPhone sales.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1543e78227ea2e7605d7d18b54a56fc5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>5. Dividends: The gift that keeps on giving</h2>\n<p>Apple resumed its dividend in 2012 after a 17-year hiatus, and it has since become a dividend powerhouse. The quarterly payout resumed at a split-adjusted $0.095 and has risen 132% in just nine years.</p>\n<p>Apple announced this week that it will boost the quarterly payout to $0.22 per share, an increase of 7% for 2021. Equally as important, the company is using just 22% of its profits to fund the dividend, giving Apple plenty of room for future increases.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0031e726c632c943de6445779aa1c4dd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"492\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>6. Fewer shares = a greater piece of the Apple pie</h2>\n<p>Another aspect of Apple's capital return policy is its aggressive share repurchase plan. The company has been buying back shares for years.

Since then, the company has maintained and even extended its lead on the competition, currently clocking in at roughly $2.25 trillion.\nThe tech titan's detractors insist that there are no worlds left for Apple to conquer and investors would be better served to put their money elsewhere. Yet even as the most valuable company in the world, there are still plenty of reasons for investors to buy Apple stock and never sell. Let's look at six reasons in particular.\n\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: Getty Images.\n1. The Warren Buffett seal of approval\nInvestors could do far worse than follow the example of legendary money manager Warren Buffett. Since taking the helm of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, the so-called \"Oracle of Omaha\" has led investors to breathtaking returns, delivering a compound annual growth rate of more than 20%. By the end of 2020, its overall returns grew by a staggering 2,810,526% since he took it over.\nBuffett has made no secret of his love of Apple, saying \"It's probably the best business I know in the world.\" He's gone even further, noting:\n\n We bought about 5% of the company. I'd love to own 100% of it. ... We like very much the economics of their activities. We like very much the management and the way they think.\n\nThat's nothing less than a ringing endorsement from one of the world's most successful investors.\n\nImage source: Apple.\n2. The resurgence of the iPhone\nIt wasn't terribly long ago that some were declaring the death of the iPhone, but the release of its latest device product lineup has shown that simply isn't the case. Apple launched four new iPhone models in 2020 -- the most ever released in a single year. The iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max run the gamut in terms of retail price and capabilities, and they truly offer something for everyone.\nDuring the 2020 holiday quarter, Apple reported all-time record revenue of $111 billion, up 21% year over year, with 59% of that coming from iPhone sales. That could be just the beginning. Earlier this year, CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has an installed base of 1.65 billion devices, including more than 1 billion active iPhones. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives estimates that roughly 40% of iPhone users haven't upgraded their device over the past 3.5 years. This could be the beginning of the long-awaited \"supercycle,\" which could ultimately drive Apple's market cap to $3 trillion over the coming year.\n\nImage source: Apple.\n3. Apple: It's what the fashionable are wearing\nInvestors shouldn't underestimate the growing importance of Apple's wearables business. In fiscal 2020 (ended Sept. 26, 2020), the company's wearables, home, and accessories segment grew 25% compared to 2019, generating a record $30 billion and accounting for more than 11% of Apple's total revenue. Not only that, but the segment ended the year on a high note, with each product category -- wearables, home, and accessories -- generating record sales. Apple noted at the time that its \"wearables business is now the size of a Fortune 130 company.\"\nOver the past six months, growth in the segment has accelerated. Wearables, home, and accessories revenue climbed nearly 28% year over year, led by strong demand for AirPods, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch.\n\nImage source: Apple.\n4. It's all about the services\nCook announced in early 2017 that Apple was aiming to double its services revenue by the end of 2020. In July 2020, he revealed that Apple had achieved that lofty goal a full six months ahead of schedule.\nThe business is off to a quick start in 2021. For Apple's fiscal 2021 second quarter (ended March 27, 2021), the services segment posted all-time record revenue of $16.9 billion, up nearly 27% year over year, and marking the fastest rate of growth in more than two years.\nThe gains were driven by 660 million paid subscribers across Apple's services segment, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, the App Store, and iCloud, among others. CFO Luca Maestri said that the company's video, music, games, and advertising businesses all had a record-setting quarter. The segment represents roughly 19% of Apple's total revenue -- even with the recent surge in iPhone sales.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n5. Dividends: The gift that keeps on giving\nApple resumed its dividend in 2012 after a 17-year hiatus, and it has since become a dividend powerhouse. The quarterly payout resumed at a split-adjusted $0.095 and has risen 132% in just nine years.\nApple announced this week that it will boost the quarterly payout to $0.22 per share, an increase of 7% for 2021. Equally as important, the company is using just 22% of its profits to fund the dividend, giving Apple plenty of room for future increases.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n6. Fewer shares = a greater piece of the Apple pie\nAnother aspect of Apple's capital return policy is its aggressive share repurchase plan. The company has been buying back shares for years. With each quarter that goes by, Apple shareholders own a larger share of the Apple pie. Over the past decade, Apple's share count has declined by nearly 36%.\nThe company has retired roughly 1% of its shares, on average, in each of the past four quarters and has plans to continue this shareholder-friendly practice. Just this week, Apple announced that it was adding an additional $90 billion to its existing share repurchase program.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":102161672,"gmtCreate":1620185502596,"gmtModify":1704339904918,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This will have some effects.","listText":"This will have some effects.","text":"This will have some effects.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/102161672","repostId":"1194963568","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":107,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376494697,"gmtCreate":1619140562019,"gmtModify":1704720234325,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Biden announcement will make many Sell Put executed.","listText":"Biden announcement will make many Sell Put executed.","text":"Biden announcement will make many Sell Put executed.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376494697","repostId":"2129336573","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129336573","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":1619121680,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2129336573?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 04:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. stocks drop on news of Biden tax proposals","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129336573","media":"Reuters","summary":"AT&T rises on strong quarterly resultsU.S. weekly jobless claims decline furtherIndexes down: Dow 0.","content":"<ul><li>AT&amp;T rises on strong quarterly results</li><li>U.S. weekly jobless claims decline further</li><li>Indexes down: Dow 0.94%, S&amp;P 500 0.92%, Nasdaq 0.94%</li></ul><p>By Herbert Lash</p><p>NEW YORK, April 22 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks dived on Thursday on reports President Joe Biden planned to almost double the capital gains tax, news analysts said provided an excuse to take profits in a directionless market ahead of big tech's earnings next week.</p><p>The three main indexes on Wall Street also fell on reports that Biden planned to raise income taxes on the wealthy, a proposal some said would be hard to pass in Congress.</p><p>\"If it had a chance of passing, we'd be down 2,000 points,\" said Thomas Hayes, chairman and managing member at hedge fund Great Hill Capital LLC.</p><p>Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Investment Management in Chicago, said when a proposal is floated about raising taxes or capital gains, everybody gets excited, sells first and asks questions later.</p><p>\"It is more of a short-term, knee-jerk reaction,\" he said.</p><p>Biden will propose raising the marginal income tax rate to 39.6% from 37% and nearly double capital gains taxes to 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million, sources told Reuters.</p><p>The proposal targets about $1 trillion for child care, universal pre-kindergarten education and paid leave for workers, the sources said.</p><p>Markets have been listless after the Dow    and S&amp;P 500&nbsp;scaled all-time peaks last week as investors await guidance from Microsoft Corp   , Google parent Alphabet Inc    and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc    when they report earnings next week.</p><p>\"Until we get out of this information vacuum the market is going to be generally directionless,\" he said. \"All that really matters moving forward is what are those big tech earnings next week?\"</p><p>During the session, the S&amp;P 500 healthcare sector hit a fresh record high while industrials were the biggest gainers.</p><p>American Airlines Group Inc and Southwest Airlines Co    reported smaller-than-expected quarterly losses, signaling a revival in travel demand.

Both shares fell.Investors welcomed data showing the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits last week dropped to a fresh one-year low. The Labor Department report suggested layoffs were subsiding and expectations were rising for another month of blockbuster job growth in April.The speedy U.S. vaccination rollout has improved the economic outlook as people plan summer vacations and leisure spending, but a surge in COVID-19 cases in India and elsewhere in Asia has kept investors anxious, Hayes said.Equities have likely reached a near-term top as expectations are too high, said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.\"There's going to be continued positive moves throughout the remainder of the year but we are due for some sort of a pullback in the very short term,\" he said. \"Then the dip buyers will step back in.\"First-quarter earnings are expected to increase 31.9% from a year ago, the highest rate since the fourth quarter, according to IBES Refinitiv data.All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed lower as Microsoft, Apple Inc , Amazon.com Inc and Tesla Inc weighted the most on the downdraft.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.94% to 33,815.9, the S&P 500 lost 0.92% at 4,134.98, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.94% to 13,818.41.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 10.35 billion shares, compared with the 10.32 billion full-session average over the last 20 trading days.Chipmaker Intel Corp forecast second-quarter revenue above Wall Street targets, betting its next generation of processors for data centers and PCs will meet growing demand for cloud-based services. Shares slipped about 1% in after-hours trade.AT&T Inc beat Wall Street revenue targets as the U.S. economic reopening following pandemic-linked restrictions boosted smartphone sales and the media business. AT&T shares rose 4.2%.Biogen Inc beat quarterly profit estimates on stronger-than-expected sales for its muscle wasting disorder drug, though concerns over its reliance on its yet-to-be approved Alzheimer's therapy, aducanumab, weighed on shares. Biogen shares fell 4.0%.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.57-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.04-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted 84 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 86 new highs and 20 new lows.

In the last four quarters, on average, Home Depot has beaten earnings estimates about 2%.The Atlanta, Georgia-based company’s shares rose over 20% so far this year. Home Depot’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on Tuesday, could help the stock hit new all-time highs. But the stock’s performance could hinge on margins.“We expect a 25% to 30% Q1’21 comp as top-line strength likely continued through the quarter. We model gross margin down 40 bps. For context, in Q4 lumber inflation pulled gross margin down ~30 bps and likely worsened sequentially. On SG&A, assuming the per sq ft 2-year stack holds from Q4 (+24%), SG&A should lever 360 to 400 bps,” noted Simeon Gutman, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.“In our model, this combination produces EPS of $3.55 to $3.85 vs consensus at $2.95. While a ’21 guide was not provided, if the ’20 top-line exit rate held through ’21, HD would expect a flat to slightly positive comp and an EBIT margin of at least 14%.”WALMART: The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer is expected to report its first-quarter earnings of $1.21 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of about 47% from $1.18 per share seen in the same period a year ago.However, the multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets’ revenue would decline about 2% to $131.8 billion. In the last four quarters, on average, the retail giant has beaten earnings estimates about 9%.“We raise 1Q22 EPS estimate to $1.23 from $1.22, on stronger Walmart U.S. comps, more modest SG&A deleverage, offsetting lower International segment revenues on divestitures, and remain above Street’s $1.21. We raise our Walmart U.S. comps to +0.5%, ahead of Street’s +0.3%, and our updated estimates now imply 2-year stack growth of +10.5% Y/Y, in-line with 4Q21,” noted Oliver Chen, equity analyst at Cowen.“We expect a tailwind from stimulus, and improved apparel and other general merchandise categories, offset by grocery and other essential categories normalizing.

The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company would post year-over-year revenue growth of over 9% to $21.51 billion.Target’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on May 19, would help the stock hit new all-time highs. Target shares rose over 19% so far this year.“We raise 1Q21 EPS to $2.18E, ahead of Street’s $2.10 as we raise our comps estimate to+11.5%, and tweak margin assumptions. We now model comps +11.5%, yielding 2-year stack growth of +22.3%, accelerating sequentially by +30bps,” noted Oliver Chen, equity analyst at Cowen.“We are ahead of Street’s+8.2% consensus estimate, and think our estimates could ultimately prove conservative as Target’s (TGT) category portfolio should see the retailer benefit from the stimulus, improving trends in apparel and other re-opening categories, along with continued strength in-home, which will more than offset normalizing food, essentials, and other category comps.”TickerCompanyEPS ForecastVIPSVipshop$2.19JDJD.com$2.29LOWLowe’s Companies$2.59CAECae USA$0.16ADIAnalog Devices$1.45TGTTarget$2.16TJXTJX Companies$0.30EXPEagle Materials$1.23RXNRexnord$0.45KEYSKeysight Technologies$1.33CSCOCisco Systems$0.82LBL Brands$1.15SNPSSynopsys$1.53SQMSociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile$0.25YYYY-$0.39CPRTCopart$0.80OMVJFOMV$0.97Thursday (May 20)TickerCompanyEPS ForecastMNROMonro Muffler Brake$0.29KSSKohl’s$0.06BRCBrady$0.65RLRalph Lauren-$0.75HRLHormel Foods$0.41BJBJs Wholesale Club Holdings Inc$0.56PANWPalo Alto Networks$1.28ROSTRoss Stores$0.88FLOFlowers Foods$0.40AMATApplied Materials$1.51DECKDeckers Outdoor$0.67TCEHYTencent$0.54TBLMYTiger Brands Ltd PK$0.34Friday (May 21)IN THE SPOTLIGHT: DEERE & COMPANYDeere & Company, the world’s largest maker of farm equipment, is expected to report its fiscal second-quarter earnings of $4.49 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of over 112% from $2.11 per share seen in the same period a year ago.In the last four consecutive quarters, on average, the agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment manufacturer has delivered an earnings surprise of over 60%. The Moline, Illinois-based company would post year-over-year revenue growth of over 28% to $10.5 billion.Deere’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on Friday, would help the stock hit new all-time highs. Deere shares rose over 42% so far this year.“Deere & Company (DE) is one of the highest quality, most defensive names within the broader Machinery universe, given an historically lower cyclicality of Ag Equipment and history of strong management execution. FY21 should mark a tangible acceleration in the NA large ag replacement cycle, as commodity tailwinds are complemented by moderating trade headwinds and improving farmer sentiment,” noted Courtney Yakavonis, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.“With mgmt continuing to execute against its 15% mid-cycle operating margin target, we see continued momentum in DE’s margin improvement narrative – representing one of the most attractive idiosyncratic margin improvement narratives in the broader Machinery group.”TickerCompanyEPS ForecastROLLRbc Bearings$1.05DEDeere & Company$4.49BKEBuckle$0.29BAHBooz Allen Hamilton$0.84VFCVF$0.28FLFoot Locker$1.06","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":163,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196572390,"gmtCreate":1621084183010,"gmtModify":1704352779935,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is a good sign right?","listText":"This is a good sign right?","text":"This is a good sign right?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/196572390","repostId":"1163454382","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1163454382","pubTimestamp":1621004581,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1163454382?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-14 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMC Entertainment Stock Jumped Again Friday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1163454382","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"AMC investors have reason for more optimism on the heels of another capital raise.Yesterday's jump came after the company announcedit raised $428 million.

TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":686,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165685094,"gmtCreate":1624126798218,"gmtModify":1703829162103,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will it really plunge?","listText":"Will it really plunge?","text":"Will it really plunge?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165685094","repostId":"1166679093","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166679093","pubTimestamp":1624065234,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166679093?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-19 09:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Meme Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Plunge More Than 20%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166679093","media":"fool","summary":"Meme stocks have been all the rage so far this year.

The ensuing weeks have brought a&nbsp;surprisingly weak jobs report&nbsp;and a&nbsp;stronger-than-expected consumer inflation report, for example.</p>\n<p>And unlike&nbsp;last month’s meeting, there wasn’t an attention-grabbing selloff in Treasuries to command officials’ attention. The steep climb in yields abated at the end of March, even as economic data showed and stronger price pressures in April.&nbsp;The 10-year yield has&nbsp;dropped to 1.64%&nbsp;from 1.74% on March 31.</p>\n<p>Yet the document may still provide some clues about the central bank’s views. And officials have provided more perspective on policy since the latest meeting as well. Notably, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida spoke at a conference on Monday and discussed some recent economic data points as well.</p>\n<p>Here’s what strategists expect out of the meeting today, and what Clarida said about the topics:</p>\n<p><b>“Attuned and Attentive” to “Transitory” Inflation?</b></p>\n<p>One popular line among Fed officials, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell, has been the assurance that this spring is expected to bring a “transitory” rise in inflation, mostly related to the reopening of the U.S. economy after the pandemic brought a sharp deceleration in activity last year.</p>\n<p>Mizuho economists Steven Ricchiuto and Alex Pelle wrote in a May 18 note that they expect “several mentions of ‘transitory’ price pressures” in the minutes. They also highlighted that many of the steepest increases in consumer prices in April were in sectors where demand had been hit most by the pandemic, such as hotels and airfares. “So far [that] validates the Fed’s thinking,” they added.</p>\n<p>Yet at Monday’s conference, Clarida seemed to be repeating a different type of assurance about inflation:&nbsp; That the central bank would be “attuned and attentive” to any data showing higher price pressures.</p>\n<p>“In the CPI report, [reopening] did clearly put upward pressure on prices. Now our baseline view is that most of this is likely to be transitory, but we have to be attuned and attentive to the incoming data,” he said. “[The] key element of our mandate is price stability and an important component of price stability is well-anchored inflation expectations. If we were to see upward pressure on prices or inflation that threatened to put inflation expectations higher, I have no doubt we would use our tools to address that situation.”</p>\n<p><b>Taper Timeline</b></p>\n<p>Investors will also be looking to see if the central bank provides any additional guidance on when it might start paring back its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases. Powell has said the Fed wants to make “substantial further progress” toward its goals of full employment and a long-term average of 2% inflation before it wants to pare down its purchases, but officials haven’t provided much additional guidance.</p>\n<p>Most on Wall Street expect the Fed to discuss longer-term plans to reduce, or taper, its purchases&nbsp;late this summer or during the fall. NatWest Markets said in a Monday note that it expects the Fed to start talking about tapering its purchases in September and actually start to reduce the pace of bond-buying next year.</p>\n<p>So any more detailed discussion in the latest meeting minutes could come as a surprise to investors and potentially matter for markets.</p>\n<p><b>Labor-Market Outlook</b></p>\n<p>One key factor that will determine the outlook for the Fed’s bond buying (and other accommodation) is the recovery in the labor market. And that remains up in the air, after the disappointing April jobs report.</p>\n<p>Still, there is a chance investors could find more context on one of their questions in the minutes:&nbsp; How much improvement will be enough for the Fed to start withdrawing accommodation? In other words, what does “substantial further progress” mean?</p>\n<p>Before the disappointing news on April’s labor market, most of Wall Street expected a strong month for jobs creation, another step toward the “string” of strong months of recovery that Powell had said was needed before the U.S. achieved “substantial further progress” toward the Fed’s goals. That may have prompted officials to discuss just how far along the recovery would need to go before the central bank could start stepping back.</p>\n<p>Clarida discussed the April employment report on Monday as well.</p>\n<p>“What the April employment report said to me is that the way we bring supply and demand into balance in the labor market, especially in the service sector, may take some time and may produce some upward pressure on prices as workers return to employment, so we have to be attuned and attentive to that data flow,” he said. “Per that April employment report, we have not made substantial further progress, but as the data comes in we as a committee will have to evaluate that, and ultimately make a judgment.”</p>\n<p>Ultimately, the importance of future labor-market data hints at the broader takeaway from the Fed’s meeting minutes:&nbsp; Coming months’ economic data may be the final arbiter of what the Fed does, and its plans to remove accommodation from markets and the economy. And the&nbsp;economic data has been so volatile&nbsp;during the reopening that the picture could change significantly by the time the Fed meets again in June.</p>\n<p>That means investors will have to hold tight for a while longer to get a sense of when the central bank plans to start stepping back.</p>\n<p>“We’re reluctant to call this an equilibrium of any sort – rather it’s much more likely to prove a temporary holding pattern as macro expectations are further refined,” wrote Ian Lyngen, strategist with BMO. “Clearly, we have more questions than answers.”</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The ensuing weeks have brought a surprisingly weak jobs report and a stronger-than-expected consumer inflation report, for example.\nAnd unlike last month’s meeting, there wasn’t an attention-grabbing selloff in Treasuries to command officials’ attention. The steep climb in yields abated at the end of March, even as economic data showed and stronger price pressures in April. The 10-year yield has dropped to 1.64% from 1.74% on March 31.\nYet the document may still provide some clues about the central bank’s views. And officials have provided more perspective on policy since the latest meeting as well. Notably, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida spoke at a conference on Monday and discussed some recent economic data points as well.\nHere’s what strategists expect out of the meeting today, and what Clarida said about the topics:\n“Attuned and Attentive” to “Transitory” Inflation?\nOne popular line among Fed officials, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell, has been the assurance that this spring is expected to bring a “transitory” rise in inflation, mostly related to the reopening of the U.S. economy after the pandemic brought a sharp deceleration in activity last year.\nMizuho economists Steven Ricchiuto and Alex Pelle wrote in a May 18 note that they expect “several mentions of ‘transitory’ price pressures” in the minutes. They also highlighted that many of the steepest increases in consumer prices in April were in sectors where demand had been hit most by the pandemic, such as hotels and airfares. “So far [that] validates the Fed’s thinking,” they added.\nYet at Monday’s conference, Clarida seemed to be repeating a different type of assurance about inflation:  That the central bank would be “attuned and attentive” to any data showing higher price pressures.\n“In the CPI report, [reopening] did clearly put upward pressure on prices. Now our baseline view is that most of this is likely to be transitory, but we have to be attuned and attentive to the incoming data,” he said. “[The] key element of our mandate is price stability and an important component of price stability is well-anchored inflation expectations. If we were to see upward pressure on prices or inflation that threatened to put inflation expectations higher, I have no doubt we would use our tools to address that situation.”\nTaper Timeline\nInvestors will also be looking to see if the central bank provides any additional guidance on when it might start paring back its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases. Powell has said the Fed wants to make “substantial further progress” toward its goals of full employment and a long-term average of 2% inflation before it wants to pare down its purchases, but officials haven’t provided much additional guidance.\nMost on Wall Street expect the Fed to discuss longer-term plans to reduce, or taper, its purchases late this summer or during the fall. NatWest Markets said in a Monday note that it expects the Fed to start talking about tapering its purchases in September and actually start to reduce the pace of bond-buying next year.\nSo any more detailed discussion in the latest meeting minutes could come as a surprise to investors and potentially matter for markets.\nLabor-Market Outlook\nOne key factor that will determine the outlook for the Fed’s bond buying (and other accommodation) is the recovery in the labor market. And that remains up in the air, after the disappointing April jobs report.\nStill, there is a chance investors could find more context on one of their questions in the minutes:  How much improvement will be enough for the Fed to start withdrawing accommodation? In other words, what does “substantial further progress” mean?\nBefore the disappointing news on April’s labor market, most of Wall Street expected a strong month for jobs creation, another step toward the “string” of strong months of recovery that Powell had said was needed before the U.S. achieved “substantial further progress” toward the Fed’s goals. That may have prompted officials to discuss just how far along the recovery would need to go before the central bank could start stepping back.\nClarida discussed the April employment report on Monday as well.\n“What the April employment report said to me is that the way we bring supply and demand into balance in the labor market, especially in the service sector, may take some time and may produce some upward pressure on prices as workers return to employment, so we have to be attuned and attentive to that data flow,” he said. “Per that April employment report, we have not made substantial further progress, but as the data comes in we as a committee will have to evaluate that, and ultimately make a judgment.”\nUltimately, the importance of future labor-market data hints at the broader takeaway from the Fed’s meeting minutes:  Coming months’ economic data may be the final arbiter of what the Fed does, and its plans to remove accommodation from markets and the economy. And the economic data has been so volatile during the reopening that the picture could change significantly by the time the Fed meets again in June.\nThat means investors will have to hold tight for a while longer to get a sense of when the central bank plans to start stepping back.\n“We’re reluctant to call this an equilibrium of any sort – rather it’s much more likely to prove a temporary holding pattern as macro expectations are further refined,” wrote Ian Lyngen, strategist with BMO. “Clearly, we have more questions than answers.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":97,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192813994,"gmtCreate":1621175468518,"gmtModify":1704353630585,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"With Disney plus, will this time be different?","listText":"With Disney plus, will this time be different?","text":"With Disney plus, will this time be different?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/192813994","repostId":"1173244066","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173244066","pubTimestamp":1621004086,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173244066?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-14 22:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Disney, Airbnb and DoorDash results reveal about the post-pandemic economy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173244066","media":"CNN","summary":"London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver ","content":"<p>London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver of how people spend their money.</p>\n<p>The big question: As the coronavirus situation improves in countries like the United States, which trends from the past 14 months will have staying power, and which will be resigned to the pandemic past?</p>\n<p>Airbnb, DoorDash and Disney (DIS), which reported results after US markets closed on Thursday, provide some idea.</p>\n<p>Airbnb: The company said interest in travel is surging again as vaccines become more widely available, pointing to a sharp increase in bookings in the United Kingdom immediately after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans in February to gradually exit lockdown.

Apple said Spotify wants “all the benefits of the App Store but don’t think they should have to pay anything for that,” by choosing to object to its 15-30% commission on in-app payments for streaming apps.\nApple isn’t currently facing any antitrust charges from government officials in the U.S. and such a lawsuit may never materialize, though the Department of Justice wasreportedly granted oversight of the company’s competitive practices in 2019. But even if the government declines to press charges, recent actions in Congress, state legislatures and in private lawsuits demonstrate a significant shift in the American public’s sentiment toward Apple and the tech industry at large.\nWhen the commissionslapped its first record competition fineagainstGooglein 2017, it wasn’t yet clear that the U.S. might be ready to move on from its once-cozy relationship with its booming tech industry. But in 2018, on the heels of the revelations of howFacebookuser data was used by analytics company Cambridge Analytica during the 2016 election, and increasing questions about how tech platforms can impact American democracy, that seemed to change.\nNow, as Europe continues to move forward with its probe into Apple, the U.S. no longer seems to be so far behind.\nHere’s where Apple stands to face risk of antitrust action or regulation in the U.S.:\nDOJ\nThe DOJ has already moved forward with a massive lawsuit against Google, so it could take some time if it decides to ramp up a probe into Apple. Though the DOJ’s Antitrust Division took on oversight authority of Apple in a 2019 agreement with the FTC, according to aWall Street Journal report, the Google investigation has seemed to take priority.\nStill, then-Attorney General Bill Barr announced later that year that the DOJ wouldconduct a broad antitrust review of Big Tech companies.\nAny action from the DOJ or state enforcers would take the form of a settlement or lawsuit, which would put Apple’s fate in the hands of the courts.\nPrivate lawsuits\nApple’s most immediate challenge in the U.S. has come from private companies bringing antitrust charges against its business in court.\nThe most notable of these lawsuits isfrom Fortnite-maker Epic Games, which is set to begin its trial on Monday. Epic filed its lawsuit with a PR blitz afterchallenging Apple’s in-app payment feeby advertising in its app an alternative, cheaper way to buy character outfits from Epic directly, violating Apple’s rules. That prompted Apple to remove Fortnite from its App Store. Epic filed the suit shortly after and Applefiled counterclaimsagainst Epic for allegedly breaching its contract.\n“Although Epic portrays itself as a modern corporate Robin Hood, in reality it is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that simply wants to pay nothing for the tremendous value it derives from the App Store,” Apple said in a filing with the District Court for the Northern District of California in September.\nCongress\nJust last week,several app-makers testified before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust about the alleged anti-competitive harms they’ve facedfrom restrictions on both Apple and Google’s app stores.\nRepresentatives from Apple and Google told lawmakers they simply charge for the technology and the work they put into running the app stores, which have significantly lowered distribution costs for app developers over the years.\nBut witnesses from Tinder-ownerMatch Group, item-tracking device-maker Tile and Spotify painted a different picture.\n“We’re all afraid,” Match Group chief legal officer Jared Sine testified of the platforms’ broad power over their businesses.\nThe witnesses discussed the seemingly arbitrary nature by which Apple allegedly enforces its App Store rules. Spotify’s legal chief claimed Apple has threatened retaliation on numerous occasions and Tile’s top lawyer said Apple denied access to a key feature that wouldimprove their object-tracking product, before utilizing it for Apple’s own rival gadget,called AirTag.\nTile said that while Apple now makes the feature available for third-party developers to incorporate, accessing it would mean handing over a significant amount of data and control to Apple. Apple’s representative said its product is different from Tile’s and opening the feature in question will encourage further competition in the space.\nSenators at the hearing seemed receptive to the app developers’ complaints, which build on earlier claims made before House lawmakers. The House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust found in a more than year-long probe thatAmazon, Apple, Facebook and Googleall hold monopoly power, and lawmakers are currently crafting bills to enable stronger antitrust enforcement of digital markets.\nState Legislatures\nSeveral state legislatures have beenconsidering bills that would require platforms like Apple and Google to allow app-makers to use their own payment processing systems. While the bills have so far hadvarying degrees of successin the early stages of lawmaking, passage in one state could raise a host of questions about how it should be enforced given the ambiguous nature of digital borders.\nThe bills have been supported by the Coalition for App Fairness, a group of companies that have complained about app store fees, including Epic Games, Match Group and Spotify.\nApple has often argued that it maintains features like payments within its own ecosystem in order to protect consumers and secure their data, though app developers and lawmakers have expressed skepticism about that reasoning.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131533317,"gmtCreate":1621866535639,"gmtModify":1704363571948,"author":{"id":"3582008226296508","authorId":"3582008226296508","name":"SimplyGood","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d96f09a392d97c5107dfc3ab2547a50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582008226296508","authorIdStr":"3582008226296508"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is it sustainable?","listText":"Is it sustainable?","text":"Is it sustainable?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/131533317","repostId":"2137153118","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
