@QuinnKelvin:$Shopify(SHOP)$ Lots of people guessing here.Going down to this,going up to that. If you have a few different securities,and why wouldn’t you, what e-commerce stock do you feel is best positioned in the next 5 years?Even the biggest players are aligning with Shopify. Face it, you don’t need to be a stock genius,just follow what the stock geniuses do.. I’m in on this one at this price and I appreciate the opportunity.

But the market arguably disagrees. Ever since Mark Zuckerberg presented his vision for the &#39;Metaverse&#39; the company&#39;s stock has entered a vicious bear market. And META stock is down more than 55% from all-time highs.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/880c87d19986febd99fda257e49f17e7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>In my article Meta Platforms Stock: Exposing Senseless NarrativesI claimed the market is making a mistake, arguing against the TikTok narrative (1), the no-growth narrative (2), and the anti-metaverse narrative (3).</p><p>In this article I will provide investors with an important update regarding Mark Zuckerberg&#39;s Metaverse strategy - the launch of a new high-end VR console. This, in my opinion, could likely be the upside catalyst which proves to the market that Meta Platforms is one of the world&#39;s leading tech companies, and that the investments in R&amp;D are not wasted after all.</p><p><b>Excited About The Metaverse</b></p><p>Meta announced earnings for the June quarter 2022on 27 July and delivered numbers slightly below analyst consensus. However, the &#39;recessionary&#39; environment for digital advertisers has already been well noted after Snap&#39;s (SNAP) profit warning in May. Accordingly, I personally was much more focused on Zuckerberg’s qualitative comments during the analyst conference call.</p><p>One of the most interesting aspects of Meta&#39;s earnings call was related to Zuckerberg&#39;s comments regarding the Metaverse. He, like me, is still very excited about this opportunity, and it is good to see that he is pushing the vision forward, despite the market&#39;s negative sentiment regarding the Metaverse&#39;s economic potential. Zuckerberg said(emphasis added):</p><blockquote><i>I feel even more strongly now that developing these platforms will unlock hundreds of billions of dollars,</i><i><b>if not trillions</b></i><i>, over time.</i></blockquote><p>Arguably, one of the key reasons for Zuckerberg&#39;s optimism was connected to the awaited launch of &#39;Project Cambria&#39;, which has been scheduled to be released as early as Q3 2022. Zuckerberg commented:</p><blockquote><i>Later this year we&#39;ll release Project Cambria - and the experience here is getting pretty awesome.</i></blockquote><p><b>Upside Catalyst: Project Cambria</b></p><p>Project Cambria has been teased in 2021 and is thought to be the next evolution of Meta&#39;s popular Quest 2 headset. Arguably, Cambria’s key new technology features will be better display resolutions as well as eye and face tracking. Joe Rogan, who has enjoyed the opportunity to try the device, has been fascinated by the technology:</p><blockquote><i>It’s so interesting when you put it on ... I’ll just describe it to people: When you put it on there was an avatar in front of me and it was an alien woman. And the alien woman, when I moved my mouth, she moved her mouth. When I moved my eyes left and right, she’s tracking my eyes. When I make an angry face it makes an angry face. When you go &#39;ooh!&#39; ... it’s incredible.</i></blockquote><p>Joe Rogan also added:</p><blockquote><i>You know ... Oculus is awesome. It&#39;s very impressive. It&#39;s very cool.</i></blockquote><p>And there should be no doubt that when Joe Rogan says something, he really means it. Zuckerberg himself said:</p><blockquote><i>It&#39;ll be a high-end device focused on professional users and work, with high resolution color mixed reality … I think people are going to be pretty blown away by this.</i></blockquote><p>It is also expected that Meta&#39;s new virtual reality headset will allow for AR experiences, which would allow users to engage their real-world surroundings with the VR technology. This, in my opinion, would support a wide range of activities in the context of work, fitness and gaming. The Cambria headset is expected to bepriced at approximately $800.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p><b>Investor Implication</b></p><p>I continue to believe that META stock is deeply undervalued. And I continue to sustain the claim that the stock&#39;s fair implied price is somewhere around $280/share. But so far, the market has not agreed. This could change rapidly, in my opinion, once investors see more tangible results in connection to Zuckerberg&#39;s Metaverse strategy. Project Cambria could serve as a potential catalyst.</p><p>Personally, I am very excited for Meta&#39;s new VR/AR headset, and I believe the launch of this technology will underscore the company&#39;s leading position as a true tech company. Investor sentiment is poised to change accordingly.</p><p><b>Trade Recommendation</b></p><p>Investors who trade options might like to have a look at the 105/115%-Moneyness Call spreads with October 28 expiry. Based on the implied volatility of 42% as of September 2nd, the trade would give a payout of approximately 4:1, if META shares close above 115% moneyness at expiration (ref, ca. 190 strike).</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The trade offers a payout of 4:1.ThesisI am a big Meta (NASDAQ:META) bull, as I believe the company's stock is deeply undervalued as compared to current fundamentals and future growth potential. But the market arguably disagrees. Ever since Mark Zuckerberg presented his vision for the 'Metaverse' the company's stock has entered a vicious bear market. And META stock is down more than 55% from all-time highs.Seeking AlphaIn my article Meta Platforms Stock: Exposing Senseless NarrativesI claimed the market is making a mistake, arguing against the TikTok narrative (1), the no-growth narrative (2), and the anti-metaverse narrative (3).In this article I will provide investors with an important update regarding Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse strategy - the launch of a new high-end VR console. This, in my opinion, could likely be the upside catalyst which proves to the market that Meta Platforms is one of the world's leading tech companies, and that the investments in R&D are not wasted after all.Excited About The MetaverseMeta announced earnings for the June quarter 2022on 27 July and delivered numbers slightly below analyst consensus. However, the 'recessionary' environment for digital advertisers has already been well noted after Snap's (SNAP) profit warning in May. Accordingly, I personally was much more focused on Zuckerberg’s qualitative comments during the analyst conference call.One of the most interesting aspects of Meta's earnings call was related to Zuckerberg's comments regarding the Metaverse. He, like me, is still very excited about this opportunity, and it is good to see that he is pushing the vision forward, despite the market's negative sentiment regarding the Metaverse's economic potential. Zuckerberg said(emphasis added):I feel even more strongly now that developing these platforms will unlock hundreds of billions of dollars,if not trillions, over time.Arguably, one of the key reasons for Zuckerberg's optimism was connected to the awaited launch of 'Project Cambria', which has been scheduled to be released as early as Q3 2022. Zuckerberg commented:Later this year we'll release Project Cambria - and the experience here is getting pretty awesome.Upside Catalyst: Project CambriaProject Cambria has been teased in 2021 and is thought to be the next evolution of Meta's popular Quest 2 headset. Arguably, Cambria’s key new technology features will be better display resolutions as well as eye and face tracking. Joe Rogan, who has enjoyed the opportunity to try the device, has been fascinated by the technology:It’s so interesting when you put it on ... I’ll just describe it to people: When you put it on there was an avatar in front of me and it was an alien woman. And the alien woman, when I moved my mouth, she moved her mouth. When I moved my eyes left and right, she’s tracking my eyes. When I make an angry face it makes an angry face. When you go 'ooh!' ... it’s incredible.Joe Rogan also added:You know ... Oculus is awesome. It's very impressive. It's very cool.And there should be no doubt that when Joe Rogan says something, he really means it. Zuckerberg himself said:It'll be a high-end device focused on professional users and work, with high resolution color mixed reality … I think people are going to be pretty blown away by this.It is also expected that Meta's new virtual reality headset will allow for AR experiences, which would allow users to engage their real-world surroundings with the VR technology. This, in my opinion, would support a wide range of activities in the context of work, fitness and gaming. The Cambria headset is expected to bepriced at approximately $800.ConclusionInvestor ImplicationI continue to believe that META stock is deeply undervalued. And I continue to sustain the claim that the stock's fair implied price is somewhere around $280/share. But so far, the market has not agreed. This could change rapidly, in my opinion, once investors see more tangible results in connection to Zuckerberg's Metaverse strategy. Project Cambria could serve as a potential catalyst.Personally, I am very excited for Meta's new VR/AR headset, and I believe the launch of this technology will underscore the company's leading position as a true tech company. Investor sentiment is poised to change accordingly.Trade RecommendationInvestors who trade options might like to have a look at the 105/115%-Moneyness Call spreads with October 28 expiry. Based on the implied volatility of 42% as of September 2nd, the trade would give a payout of approximately 4:1, if META shares close above 115% moneyness at expiration (ref, ca. 190 strike).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":255,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933503936,"gmtCreate":1662307956526,"gmtModify":1676537034222,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[smile]&nbsp;","text":"[smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933503936","repostId":"1125662748","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1125662748","pubTimestamp":1662259252,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1125662748?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-04 10:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Stocks Reporting Earnings the Week of Sept. 5","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1125662748","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Here are seven stocks reporting quarterly earnings the week of Sept. 5.Nio(NIO): The troubled Chines","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Here are seven stocks reporting quarterly earnings the week of Sept. 5.</li><li><b>Nio</b>(<b><u>NIO</u></b>): The troubled Chinese electric vehicle maker could use some good news.</li><li><b>GameStop</b>(<b><u>GME</u></b>): Expect investors to push up the price of this meme stock following its quarterly print.</li><li><b>Asana</b>(<b><u>ASAN</u></b>): The software maker has been one of the hardest-hit tech stocks this year.</li><li><b>DocuSign</b>(<b><u>DOCU</u></b>): The online document management company is struggling to find its way after the pandemic.</li><li><b>Smith &amp; Wesson</b>(<b><u>SWBI</u></b>): A strong earnings report could help the firearms maker to move past a recent controversy.</li><li><b>Dave &amp; Buster’s</b>(<b><u>PLAY</u></b>): The restaurant chain’s stock is one of the few that is actually up this year.</li><li><b>Kroger</b>(<b><u>KR</u></b>): The grocery retailer has shown that it is able to manage inflation and keep its loyal customer base.</li></ul><p>September is traditionally the worst month for stocks and the month ahead could be a doozy for investors.

Buffett didn’t comment on the reasons for his sale of the stock, but he remains the third-largest shareholder of the grocery store chain with a $2.5 billion stake. Kroger stock continues to be widely viewed as a good hedge against inflation in the current volatile market. Analysts expect Kroger to announce earnings per share of 77 cents on revenues of $34.25 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":304,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9939927047,"gmtCreate":1662044748891,"gmtModify":1676536752044,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","listText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","text":"[Surprised]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9939927047","repostId":"1160870826","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160870826","pubTimestamp":1662045526,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1160870826?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-01 23:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Billionaires Have Been Buying These 7 Stocks as the Market Plunges","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160870826","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"KEY POINTSThe broad-based S&P 500 produced its worst first-half return in 52 years.Rather than being","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>KEY POINTS</p><ul><li>The broad-based S&amp;P 500 produced its worst first-half return in 52 years.</li><li>Rather than being chased to the sideline, billionaire investors have stood their ground and put their money to work.</li><li>These seven stocks have been the apple of select billionaires&#39; eyes.</li></ul><p>Although you probably don&#39;t need the reminder, it&#39;s been a rough year on Wall Street. The benchmark S&amp;P 500 produced its worst first-half return since 1970. Meanwhile, the growth-centric Nasdaq Composite plunged 34% on a peak-to-trough basis since hitting its all-time closing high in November. Everything from weak economic growth and historically high inflation to Russia&#39;s invasion of Ukraine further upsetting the global energy supply chain has contributed to this challenging year.</p><p>Yet, in spite of the stock market plunging throughout much of the year, billionaire investors have stood their ground. Billionaire money managers are well aware that every notable pullback in the market has proved to be a buying opportunity over the long run.</p><p>Based on recent 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it&#39;s become clear that billionaire fund managers have been buyers as the market plunges. Here&#39;s what seven prominent billionaires have been buying.</p><h3>1. Paul Singer: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal Holdings</a></h3><p>Billionaire activist investor Paul Singer of Elliott Investment Management has been a busy bee in 2022. Most notably, he&#39;s taken a roughly $2 billion stake in fintech stock PayPal Holdings (PYPL), which was disclosed by PayPal in its second-quarter earnings release.</p><p>What&#39;s interesting about this position is that Singer often invests in struggling companies. Although PayPal&#39;s share price has taken a big hit as pandemic-related valuations deflate, PayPal&#39;s operating performance shows a company that&#39;s clearly not hurting. Even with U.S. gross domestic product falling in back-to-back quarters, PayPal has maintained double-digit total payment volume growth on a constant-currency basis.</p><p>More importantly, user engagement hasn&#39;t slowed down. When 2020 came to a close, the average active account completed just shy of 41 transactions over the trailing year. As of June 30, 2022, this average active account hadcompleted nearly 49 transactions over the trailing 12 months.  With engagement trends headed in the right direction and digital payment growth still in its very early innings, I&#39;d be surprised if Singer&#39;s investment ultimately ended up in the red.</p><h3>2. Philippe Laffont: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UPST\">Upstart Holdings</a></h3><p>Philippe Laffont may not be a household name among billionaire money managers, but he successfully oversees Coatue Management, a hedge fund with almost $8.3 billion in assets under management. In the latest quarter, Laffont added almost $75 million in shares of cloud-based lending platform Upstart Holdings (UPST).</p><p>Upstart aims to completely turn the traditional loan-vetting process on its head. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to completely automate and approve about three-quarters of all loans processed. Not only is this saving the roughly six dozen financial institutions Upstart is partnered with time and money, but it&#39;s giving loan applicants who might otherwise be denied through the traditional vetting process an opportunity. Upstart-vetted loans have produced similar loan delinquency rates as traditional loans, despite a lower average credit score for Upstart-approved applicants.</p><p>The other lure for Upstart is its potential for expansion. Until last year, Upstart almost exclusively focused on personal loans. With the company now expanding into auto loans and small business loans, its addressable market has increased tenfold.</p><h3>3. Warren Buffett: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a></h3><p>The Oracle of Omaha, who&#39;s been CEO of Berkshire Hathaway since 1965, probably needs no introduction. Among the16 stocks Warren Buffett has purchased this year, none has raised more eyebrows than oil stock Occidental Petroleum. Berkshire has acquired nearly 188.4 million shares of Occidental this year, as of Aug. 8.</p><p>Why Occidental Petroleum? The best guess is that Buffett strongly believes crude oil and natural gas prices will remain elevated for years to come. This is a forecast that can certainly be supported by reduced capital investments in the wake of the pandemic, as well as Russia&#39;s aforementioned invasion of Ukraine. With no quick fixes to global supply woes, oil and natural gas could very easily support above-average spot prices for years.</p><p>But what makes Occidental such an odd Buffett stockis its balance sheet. The Oracle of Omaha normally buys stakes in businesses with strong brand names, exceptional leadership, and rock-solid balance sheets. Occidental is more highly levered than most integrated oil and gas companies. In other words, this is a riskier investment than we&#39;re used to seeing from Buffett.</p><h3>4. Steve Cohen: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">CrowdStrike Holdings</a></h3><p>Billionaire Steve Cohen, who&#39;s known just as much for owning baseball&#39;s New York Mets as he is for running Point72 Asset Management, has been an active buyer of cybersecurity stock CrowdStrike Holdings as the market plunges. Cohen&#39;s fund bought close to 820,000 shares of CrowdStrike during the second quarter.</p><p>Aside from the fact that cybersecurity solutions have evolved into a basic necessity service in any economic environment, what allows CrowdStrike to stand out is its AI-driven Falcon platform. Falcon oversees about 1 trillion events daily and has proved superior to the on-premises competition at identifying and responding to potential threats.</p><p>Although CrowdStrike has had no trouble growing its subscriber base over the years, what&#39;s far more impressive is how the company has been able to encourage existing clients to spend more. A little over five years ago, just 9% of the company&#39;s clients had purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions. As of the end of April 2022, 71% of existing clients had purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions. This is CrowdStrike&#39;s not-so-subtle key to superior operating margins and its amazing revenue retention rate.</p><h3>5. Jim Simons: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SHOP\">Shopify</a></h3><p>Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies has thousands upon thousands of positions. However, cloud-based e-commerce platform Shopify (SHOP 0.93%) became one of Renaissance&#39;s largest positions during the second quarter, with a greater than 14-million-share aggregate buy.</p><p>Despite shares coming under heavy selling pressure due to the company&#39;s nosebleed valuation and recent weakness in retail sales as a whole, Shopify looks like a giant in the making. Aided by the pandemic, the gross merchandise value transacted on Shopify&#39;s platforms (as of the June-ended quarter) has grown by an annual average of 50% over the past three years.  What&#39;s more, the company believes it has a $153 billion addressable market just with small businesses. This doesn&#39;t even factor in the inroads the company has made with larger companies.</p><p>Innovation should also be key for Shopify&#39;s long-term outlook. The introduction of Shop Pay, a buy now, pay later service designed to help merchants serve more customers, should benefit nicely during long-winded periods of economic expansion.</p><h3>6. Ray Dalio: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">CVS Health</a></h3><p>Bridgewater Associates&#39; billionaire money manager Ray Dalio has also been an active buyer. Dalio chose to pile into CVS Health (CVS -0.66%) as the market plunged. Bridgewater bought close to 1.94 million shares during the second quarter, which increased the fund&#39;s stake by 159% from the March-ended quarter.</p><p>The beauty of healthcare stocks is that they&#39;re defensive. People can&#39;t control when they get sick, which means there&#39;s always demand for prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services.</p><p>On a more company-specific basis, CVS Health has benefited from its vertical integration. Its acquisition of health insurer Aetna in 2018 lifted its organic growth rate, provided ample cost synergies, and gave more than 20 million insured Aetna members a reason to stay within the CVS Health network.</p><p>Additionally, CVS has been reaping the rewards of its HealthHUB health clinics. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers have demonstrated they&#39;re eager for quick solutions to minor illnesses and injuries, as well as supplemental care for chronic conditions. The roughly 1,500 HealthHUBs CVS operates are facilitating these interactions, which have the potential to boost customer loyalty and drive repeat visits.</p><h3>7. Jeff Yass: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a></h3><p>Last but not least, billionaire Jeff Yass of Susquehanna International has been buying FAANG stock Amazon as the market plunges. Susquehanna added close to 6.6 million shares of Amazon during the second quarter, which increased its stake to approximately 15.2 million shares.</p><p>Although Amazon is best known for its dominant online marketplace, which is estimated to bring in 40% of U.S. retail sales in 2022, per eMarketer, it&#39;s the company&#39;s considerably higher-margin ancillary operations that make it such an ideal buy.</p><p>For instance, Amazon&#39;s online marketplace has helped attract more than 200 million global Prime subscribers. With almost $35 billion in annual run-rate sales from subscription services, Amazon is able to divert plenty of capital to its fast-growing logistics network and other supercharged growth projects.</p><p>However, Amazon&#39;s future is undeniably linked to cloud infrastructure segment Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS brought in 31% of cloud spending during the second quarter, according to estimates from Canalys.  More importantly, AWS is responsible for generating the bulk of Amazon&#39;s operating cash flow despite accounting for just a sixth of the company&#39;s net sales. As AWS grows into a larger percentage of total sales, Amazon&#39;s cash flow can soar.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Billionaires Have Been Buying These 7 Stocks as the Market Plunges</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\">\nBillionaires Have Been Buying These 7 Stocks as the Market Plunges\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-01 23:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/01/billionaires-buying-7-stocks-as-the-market-plunges/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe broad-based S&P 500 produced its worst first-half return in 52 years.Rather than being chased to the sideline, billionaire investors have stood their ground and put their money to work....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/01/billionaires-buying-7-stocks-as-the-market-plunges/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"CRWD":"CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.","SHOP":"Shopify Inc","UPST":"Upstart Holdings, Inc.","AMZN":"亚马逊","OXY":"西方石油","CVS":"西维斯健康","PYPL":"PayPal"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/01/billionaires-buying-7-stocks-as-the-market-plunges/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1160870826","content_text":"KEY POINTSThe broad-based S&P 500 produced its worst first-half return in 52 years.Rather than being chased to the sideline, billionaire investors have stood their ground and put their money to work.These seven stocks have been the apple of select billionaires' eyes.Although you probably don't need the reminder, it's been a rough year on Wall Street.

These articles areabout investor sentiment and the measurement of &#34;investor expectations&#34;. Every article will have follow-up articles until the concept behind that original article is complete. This one focuses on the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VIXY\">ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF</a> - a ProShares ETF that goes long the VIX, the CBOE implied volatility index.</p><p><b>VIXY</b></p><p>VIXY is one of numerous ProShares ETF’s that go either long or short the VIX, which is the CBOE implied volatility index. It has 34 million shares outstanding and total assets of $410 million. ProShares says the following about their VIXY ETF:</p><p>Investment Objective: ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&amp;P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index</p><p>Designed for knowledgeable investors:</p><p>Who seek to profit from increases in the expected volatility of the S&amp;P 500, as measured by the prices of VIX futures contracts.</p><p>Who seek to reduce U.S. equity portfolio risk, since changes in the VIX Short-Term Futures Index have historically been negatively correlated to S&amp;P 500 returns.</p><p>It is intended for short-term use; investors should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.</p><p>It does not track the performance of the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and can be expected to perform very differently from the VIX.</p><p>We very much agree with these points.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f450fc90be36f004ca91888b14a51cc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"291\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>The Price History of VIXY (Michael McDonald)</p><p>This graph shows the entire price history of VIXY since inception. It started with an adjusted price of $32,000 in 2011 and it’s currently at $14.75. The red circles highlight times when sudden market declines can advance the price from 200% to 400%. Timing these moments, however, is very difficult; one loses money just waiting around.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4cc67c4ca38c54e220fcc74b78f716ed\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"430\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>VIX versus Assets in VIXY (Michael McDonald)</p><p>This chart plots the VIX against total assets in VIXY from 2011 to present. I’ve included it to show an important fact; that assets in VIXY have been rising the last two months and are near record levels. This normally indicates a growing number of bearish investors and occurs as stock prices begin a long-term price rise.</p><p>In other words, rising assets in VIXY is a positive indicator for higher stock prices. This is also confirmed by average daily buying in VIXY, which is shown in the next graph. Notice the large surges in purchases of VIXY that have historically occurred just prior to major advances in stock prices.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/653097aecff80bde34ed270c2bf0c62e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"411\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Buying Activity in VIXY and Market Lows (Michael McDonald)</p><p><b>We Still Have Extreme Levels of Bearish Sentiment</b></p><p>Well-tested metrics still show extreme levels of bearish sentiment. This is very important because, while the economic picture is always different during a decline, extremely negative sentiment is the one, common denominator at the end. Many investors don’t know this and get lost in the arguments and alarming economic picture of the moment. Because of this, we are highlighting the data and theory that supports this at the end of every article.</p><p><b>The Master Sentiment Indicator Continues to Point to Higher Stock Prices</b></p><p>We combine seven classic sentiment indicators to form one Master Sentiment Indicator. The seven indictors that make up the composite are:</p><ol><li>The CBOE equity puts and calls ratio</li><li>The CBOE total puts and calls ratio</li><li>The Commitment of Trader data on the E-mini S&amp;P Futures</li><li>The Buying Level in the SH ProShares ETF</li><li>The Exposure Level of the National Association of Active Investment Managers</li><li>The daily Hulbert Stock and Nasdaq Sentiment readings</li><li>The AAII Sentiment Survey</li></ol><p>The MSI is designed to locate major market lows. It&#39;s shown in the next two charts - one is a long-term view from 2007, the other starts in 2018 and shows more detail. The indicator is currently -4.4, which is still relatively low after a two-month rally and, in our opinion, points to higher prices.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f9932ca78cf38cac8acafa6ed99fd90\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"382\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Long Term Master Sentiment Indicator(Michael McDonald)</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/564c047b5a64f56f8ada85d67403c751\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"376\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Shorter Term View of the MSI(Michael McDonald)</p><p><b>Forming the Master Sentiment Indicator</b></p><p>Combining multiple indicators to form one sentiment indicator is not easy. How do you combine a puts and calls ratio of 1.0 with a 40% Investor&#39;s Intelligence bearish percent? When forming a composite everything has to be mathematically consistent. We accomplished it in the following way.</p><p>We took each indicator back as far as history allowed (the smallest time period being 17 years) and determined the range of values that contained the highest 5% of its values. Then we determined the range of values that contained the next highest 5%. This procedure was continued in 5% increments down to the 5% band that contained the smallest values. This activity allowed us to put every indicator on the same 21 range scale which was labeled 10 to -10.</p><p>We then added each indicator&#39;s position number (10 to -10), which determines where it is historically, and divided the total by the number of indicators in the composite. Out came a composite number between 10 and -10 that represented the average bracket value of all the sentiment indicators.</p><p><b>The MSI Red and Green Zones</b></p><p>As you can see the MSI oscillates between 10 and -10. The large, grey area in the middle represents periods when there is no extreme opinion. The red area shows when the indicator is getting into the &#34;extremely bullish&#34; range. The lower green band shows when it&#39;s getting into the &#34;extremely bearish&#34; range. There is no sudden demarcation but graduated numbers that shows greater or lesser degrees of sentiment.

Since its January 2011 inception, it has experienced an average, annual loss of 50% a year.VIXY has short term use if one believes they can either time the start of a sudden market decline or want to temporarily hedge a portfolio against catastrophic events.Regarding this, I believe it has current value in hedging, not economic events, but possible catastrophic events coming out of Ukraine.This article is part of a continuing series of articles (here) on how to use investor buying in ETFs to help determine the direction of the stock market, and specific sectors of it. These articles areabout investor sentiment and the measurement of \"investor expectations\". Every article will have follow-up articles until the concept behind that original article is complete. This one focuses on the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF - a ProShares ETF that goes long the VIX, the CBOE implied volatility index.VIXYVIXY is one of numerous ProShares ETF’s that go either long or short the VIX, which is the CBOE implied volatility index. It has 34 million shares outstanding and total assets of $410 million. ProShares says the following about their VIXY ETF:Investment Objective: ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures IndexDesigned for knowledgeable investors:Who seek to profit from increases in the expected volatility of the S&P 500, as measured by the prices of VIX futures contracts.Who seek to reduce U.S. equity portfolio risk, since changes in the VIX Short-Term Futures Index have historically been negatively correlated to S&P 500 returns.It is intended for short-term use; investors should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.It does not track the performance of the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and can be expected to perform very differently from the VIX.We very much agree with these points.The Price History of VIXY (Michael McDonald)This graph shows the entire price history of VIXY since inception. It started with an adjusted price of $32,000 in 2011 and it’s currently at $14.75. The red circles highlight times when sudden market declines can advance the price from 200% to 400%. Timing these moments, however, is very difficult; one loses money just waiting around.VIX versus Assets in VIXY (Michael McDonald)This chart plots the VIX against total assets in VIXY from 2011 to present. I’ve included it to show an important fact; that assets in VIXY have been rising the last two months and are near record levels. This normally indicates a growing number of bearish investors and occurs as stock prices begin a long-term price rise.In other words, rising assets in VIXY is a positive indicator for higher stock prices. This is also confirmed by average daily buying in VIXY, which is shown in the next graph. Notice the large surges in purchases of VIXY that have historically occurred just prior to major advances in stock prices.Buying Activity in VIXY and Market Lows (Michael McDonald)We Still Have Extreme Levels of Bearish SentimentWell-tested metrics still show extreme levels of bearish sentiment. This is very important because, while the economic picture is always different during a decline, extremely negative sentiment is the one, common denominator at the end. Many investors don’t know this and get lost in the arguments and alarming economic picture of the moment. Because of this, we are highlighting the data and theory that supports this at the end of every article.The Master Sentiment Indicator Continues to Point to Higher Stock PricesWe combine seven classic sentiment indicators to form one Master Sentiment Indicator. The seven indictors that make up the composite are:The CBOE equity puts and calls ratioThe CBOE total puts and calls ratioThe Commitment of Trader data on the E-mini S&P FuturesThe Buying Level in the SH ProShares ETFThe Exposure Level of the National Association of Active Investment ManagersThe daily Hulbert Stock and Nasdaq Sentiment readingsThe AAII Sentiment SurveyThe MSI is designed to locate major market lows. It's shown in the next two charts - one is a long-term view from 2007, the other starts in 2018 and shows more detail. The indicator is currently -4.4, which is still relatively low after a two-month rally and, in our opinion, points to higher prices.Long Term Master Sentiment Indicator(Michael McDonald)Shorter Term View of the MSI(Michael McDonald)Forming the Master Sentiment IndicatorCombining multiple indicators to form one sentiment indicator is not easy. How do you combine a puts and calls ratio of 1.0 with a 40% Investor's Intelligence bearish percent? When forming a composite everything has to be mathematically consistent. We accomplished it in the following way.We took each indicator back as far as history allowed (the smallest time period being 17 years) and determined the range of values that contained the highest 5% of its values. Then we determined the range of values that contained the next highest 5%. This procedure was continued in 5% increments down to the 5% band that contained the smallest values. This activity allowed us to put every indicator on the same 21 range scale which was labeled 10 to -10.We then added each indicator's position number (10 to -10), which determines where it is historically, and divided the total by the number of indicators in the composite. Out came a composite number between 10 and -10 that represented the average bracket value of all the sentiment indicators.The MSI Red and Green ZonesAs you can see the MSI oscillates between 10 and -10. The large, grey area in the middle represents periods when there is no extreme opinion. The red area shows when the indicator is getting into the \"extremely bullish\" range. The lower green band shows when it's getting into the \"extremely bearish\" range. There is no sudden demarcation but graduated numbers that shows greater or lesser degrees of sentiment. The chart clearly shows how recent levels compare to readings at major lows over the last 16 years.The MSI TableThe table shows the ranking of each of the seven components that make up the composite, as well as the composite itself.MSI and Indicator Component Table (Michael McDonald)The first column in the table lists the 21 rankings that go from +10 to -10. This is followed by the names of the seven indicators used in the composite with an X showing the current ranking of each.The final column displays the ranking of the MSI index, which on August 26 was -4.4.ConclusionWe recommend investors avoid VIXY unless they have a proven track record of correctly timing market declines. But since the market only declines 33% of the time, finding the start of a sudden decline is very difficult. We also don't think this is the time to time a decline due to our belief the market is ready to begin a major advance.However, purchasing VIXY at this time to hedge against possible catastrophic events does make sense for a small portion of one's assets. That's because the gains versus losses at moments like this are asymmetrical in favor of the downside. We're specifically thinking of possible catastrophic events coming out of Ukraine. But the position should be terminated as soon as one thinks the event risk has passed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":403,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9991026875,"gmtCreate":1660751746399,"gmtModify":1676536392163,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[What]&nbsp;","listText":"[What]&nbsp;","text":"[What]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9991026875","repostId":"1184439750","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1184439750","pubTimestamp":1660626639,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1184439750?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-16 13:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"See Which Of The Latest 13F Filers Holds Tesla","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184439750","media":"Holdings Channel","summary":"AtHoldings Channel, we have reviewed the latest batch of the 92 most recent 13F filings for the 06/3","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>AtHoldings Channel, we have reviewed the latest batch of the 92 most recent 13F filings for the 06/30/2022 reporting period, and noticed that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla Inc</a> was held by 30 of these funds.

While some point to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) planned interest rate hikes and call for a recession, others point to oversold stocks to justify another market rally.</p><p>Whatever it might be, it is clear that the stock market is currently highly volatile. There are unprecedented levels of uncertainty as the Fed has to battle both inflation and a contracting economy. Unlike in 2008 and 2020, the Fed cannot use quantitative easing to stimulate the economy. Doing so will only add more fuel to inflation. Therefore, the current situation is especially risky.</p><p>Of course, some sectors, such as tech, are certainly being hit harder. However, many stocks continue to be overvalued compared to the rest of the stock market and could still go lower. With that in mind, investing in safe and stable stocks is a good option.</p><p>Thus, the following seven safest stocks are unlikely to be as volatile:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Ticker</b></td><td><b>Company</b></td><td><b>Price</b></td></tr><tr><td><b><u>COST</u></b></td><td>Costco Wholesale Corporation</td><td>$474.29</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>TSM</u></b></td><td>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited</td><td>$94.44</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>AVGO</u></b></td><td>Broadcom Inc.</td><td>$563.96</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>KO</u></b></td><td>The Coca-Cola Company</td><td>$63.12</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>FLO</u></b></td><td>Flowers Foods, Inc.</td><td>$26.11</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>PEP</u></b></td><td>PepsiCo, Inc.</td><td>$165.82</td></tr><tr><td><b><u>MCD</u></b></td><td>McDonald’s Corporation</td><td>$247.54</td></tr></tbody></table><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COST\">Costco </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/119ecb33ef7a48b94a1ac48b430db284\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COST\">Costco </a> could be a bargain stock after its sharp selloff. The stock has likely bottomed out and could continue to go up due to its solid finances in the long run.</p><p>Costco has seen growth in both its revenue and net income this quarter. The company has also increased its net profit margin and earnings per share (EPS). Even though its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is still relatively high, the stock has performed exceptionally well in turbulent times. In addition, the company is in astable long-term uptrendin its financials.</p><p>Moreover, Costco’s membership model has helped it combat inflation better than its competitors. Therefore, the current rebound of COST stock could be an excellent opportunity to get in on the stock.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38854e837d13a3a18444fbb92aba5028\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited</b> (NYSE:<b><u>TSM</u></b>) had a  negative 33% selloff which has since cooled down significantly and the stock could be eyeing a rebound. Theglobal shortage of semiconductorshas led to the stock soaring by more than 200% after the pandemic. However, the recent selloff has likely dragged the stock below its intrinsic value.</p><p>Taiwan Semiconductor hasreported robust financials this quarter. Year-over-year (YOY), quarterly revenue and net income grew at 35.5% and 45.13%, respectively. This is due to a high demand for semiconductors. Moreover, the net profit margin of Taiwan Semiconductor is also extraordinary at 41.28%, which grew by 7.11% this quarter.</p><p>In addition, the semiconductor shortage is unlikely to be solved soon. Supply chain issues persist and the company will continue to profit from the high demand and increased prices for semiconductors. It is among the safest stocks due to its exceptional growth.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AVGO\">Broadcom </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dcf1a9fd20cb6f6de8681c3897b31ace\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AVGO\">Broadcom </a> is a company that manufactures and supplies a wide range of hardware and software products, including semiconductors.</p><p>The company’s stock has seen stable growth in the market with very little volatility. In addition, its financials are robust, with its YOY quarterlyrevenueandnet incomegrowing at 15.79% and 83.9%, respectively.</p><p>Moreover, the company has announced thatit will be acquiring <b>VMware,Inc.</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VMW</u></b>) for $69.1 billion, signaling a secure financial position.</p><p>Nonetheless, investors should still be careful in the short-term as the VMware deal could add some volatility to the stock. However, AVGO is likely to remain among the safest stocks in the long-term.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b999b6331c97bce23b08a9742ea1230\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a> is one of the safest stocks to buy. The stock has always remained stable with very little volatility. Even in the current volatile market, KO stock has remained an outlier.</p><p>Furthermore, this household brand is unlikely to die out. Even in the worst-case scenario, Coca-Cola is likely to remain profitable in the long-term. Moreover, the company is now financially stable after a long-term downtrend inrevenue, which will continue to aid its growth.</p><p>In the latest quarter,Coca-Cola beat its EPS and revenue estimatesby 10.44% and 6.82%. The company’s YOY quarterly revenue grew by 16.31% to $10.5 billion and itsnet incomeincreased by 23.88% to $2.78 billion. In addition, despite heavy losses due to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent supply chain issues, the company has recovered in almost all aspects. Therefore, I expect KO to be a safe stock to hold long-term.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FLO\">Flowers Foods</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/71ff5e66c699f96220aee47ed44a2455\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FLO\">Flowers Foods</a> is a bakery food company. FLO is among the safest stocks and has continued on a long-term uptrend, despite multiple downturns.</p><p>Flowers Foods also has solid financials and hasn’t had any significant losses. In the current market downturn, FLO stock has maintained its uptrend and the company’s financials remained stable.</p><p>Flowers Foods had a YOY quarterlyrevenuegrowth of 10.27% to $1.44 billion and itsnet incomegrew by 19.4% to $85.6 million in the latest quarter. Moreover, the company alsobeat its earnings estimatesby 15.79% and recentlyincreased its dividendby 22 cents per share. Thus, FLO is likely to remain a safe stock due to its stable finances.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PEP\">PepsiCo</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fd48eab3147ce36267898bab4b14a91\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><b>PepsiCo, Inc.</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>PEP</u></b>) is a similar company to Coca-Cola. However, PEP stock has historically been more stable than KO and PepsiCo’s profitability is significantly higher.</p><p>This quarter, PepsiCo has delivered robust growth, with its YOY quarterlynet incomeandrevenueincreasing by 148.6% and 9.31%, respectively. Moreover, the stock hasn’t been very affected by the recent market volatility and has continued on a long-term uptrend.</p><p>Even during a recession, PepsiCo products will remain in high demand. The brand is a significant one and the company is likely to remain profitable for the foreseeable future.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MCD\">McDonald</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/48630b782a4daaa0d063ae28209df52f\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MCD\">McDonald</a> is a no-brainer when discussing safe stocks. MCD stock is one of the most resistant when it comes to volatile markets and recessions. Even during the Great Recession, the stock grew by 7% and the company’s financialsflourished.</p><p>Even more surprisingly, McDonald’s quickly recovered from the coronavirus recession, which hit restaurants particularly hard. Moreover, the company reversed itsrevenuedowntrend after the pandemic.</p><p>Admittedly, the latest quarter was not the company’s strongest. However, McDonald’s stillmanaged to beat earnings expectations. With historical performance in mind, MCD stock is likely to continue on a long-term uptrend.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 of the Safest Stocks to 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\">\n7 of the Safest Stocks to Buy Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-07 23:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/06/7-of-the-safest-stocks-to-buy-now/><strong>investorplace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These seven safest stocks should be prioritized during a volatile market.Costco : A recent selloff has paved the way for a long-term investment in this safe stock.Taiwan Semiconductor : A global chip ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/06/7-of-the-safest-stocks-to-buy-now/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MCD":"麦当劳","PEP":"百事可乐","TSM":"台积电","FLO":"花苑食品","KO":"可口可乐","AVGO":"博通","COST":"好市多","VMW":"威睿"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2022/06/7-of-the-safest-stocks-to-buy-now/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1105550808","content_text":"These seven safest stocks should be prioritized during a volatile market.Costco : A recent selloff has paved the way for a long-term investment in this safe stock.Taiwan Semiconductor : A global chip shortage has driven up the company's profitability and the stock is now undervalued after a selloff.Broadcom : The company's recent acquisition of VMware paves the way for more growth and its stock has shown strength through a recent rebound.Coca-Cola: KO stock continues on a stable uptrend since the Great Recession and Coca-Cola has managed to turn around its declining revenue.Flowers Foods: The company pays regular dividends due to solid finances and the stock is in a long-term uptrend despite short-term volatility.PepsiCo: PepsiCo is among the largest companies and it still maintains a robust growth in its profitability.

Therefore, the current rebound of COST stock could be an excellent opportunity to get in on the stock.Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) had a  negative 33% selloff which has since cooled down significantly and the stock could be eyeing a rebound. Theglobal shortage of semiconductorshas led to the stock soaring by more than 200% after the pandemic. However, the recent selloff has likely dragged the stock below its intrinsic value.Taiwan Semiconductor hasreported robust financials this quarter. Year-over-year (YOY), quarterly revenue and net income grew at 35.5% and 45.13%, respectively. This is due to a high demand for semiconductors. Moreover, the net profit margin of Taiwan Semiconductor is also extraordinary at 41.28%, which grew by 7.11% this quarter.In addition, the semiconductor shortage is unlikely to be solved soon. Supply chain issues persist and the company will continue to profit from the high demand and increased prices for semiconductors. It is among the safest stocks due to its exceptional growth.Broadcom Broadcom  is a company that manufactures and supplies a wide range of hardware and software products, including semiconductors.The company’s stock has seen stable growth in the market with very little volatility. In addition, its financials are robust, with its YOY quarterlyrevenueandnet incomegrowing at 15.79% and 83.9%, respectively.Moreover, the company has announced thatit will be acquiring VMware,Inc.(NYSE:VMW) for $69.1 billion, signaling a secure financial position.Nonetheless, investors should still be careful in the short-term as the VMware deal could add some volatility to the stock. However, AVGO is likely to remain among the safest stocks in the long-term.Coca-ColaCoca-Cola is one of the safest stocks to buy. The stock has always remained stable with very little volatility. Even in the current volatile market, KO stock has remained an outlier.Furthermore, this household brand is unlikely to die out. Even in the worst-case scenario, Coca-Cola is likely to remain profitable in the long-term. Moreover, the company is now financially stable after a long-term downtrend inrevenue, which will continue to aid its growth.In the latest quarter,Coca-Cola beat its EPS and revenue estimatesby 10.44% and 6.82%. The company’s YOY quarterly revenue grew by 16.31% to $10.5 billion and itsnet incomeincreased by 23.88% to $2.78 billion. In addition, despite heavy losses due to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent supply chain issues, the company has recovered in almost all aspects. Therefore, I expect KO to be a safe stock to hold long-term.Flowers FoodsFlowers Foods is a bakery food company. FLO is among the safest stocks and has continued on a long-term uptrend, despite multiple downturns.Flowers Foods also has solid financials and hasn’t had any significant losses. In the current market downturn, FLO stock has maintained its uptrend and the company’s financials remained stable.Flowers Foods had a YOY quarterlyrevenuegrowth of 10.27% to $1.44 billion and itsnet incomegrew by 19.4% to $85.6 million in the latest quarter. Moreover, the company alsobeat its earnings estimatesby 15.79% and recentlyincreased its dividendby 22 cents per share. Thus, FLO is likely to remain a safe stock due to its stable finances.PepsiCoPepsiCo, Inc.(NASDAQ:PEP) is a similar company to Coca-Cola. However, PEP stock has historically been more stable than KO and PepsiCo’s profitability is significantly higher.This quarter, PepsiCo has delivered robust growth, with its YOY quarterlynet incomeandrevenueincreasing by 148.6% and 9.31%, respectively. Moreover, the stock hasn’t been very affected by the recent market volatility and has continued on a long-term uptrend.Even during a recession, PepsiCo products will remain in high demand. The brand is a significant one and the company is likely to remain profitable for the foreseeable future.McDonaldMcDonald is a no-brainer when discussing safe stocks. MCD stock is one of the most resistant when it comes to volatile markets and recessions. Even during the Great Recession, the stock grew by 7% and the company’s financialsflourished.Even more surprisingly, McDonald’s quickly recovered from the coronavirus recession, which hit restaurants particularly hard. Moreover, the company reversed itsrevenuedowntrend after the pandemic.Admittedly, the latest quarter was not the company’s strongest. However, McDonald’s stillmanaged to beat earnings expectations. With historical performance in mind, MCD stock is likely to continue on a long-term uptrend.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9026515461,"gmtCreate":1653400725253,"gmtModify":1676535274765,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hm","listText":"Hm","text":"Hm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9026515461","repostId":"2237691633","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2237691633","pubTimestamp":1653376916,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2237691633?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-05-24 15:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla: Time To Pull The Buy Trigger","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2237691633","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryTesla stock has been battered as it was swamped by the headwinds in Shanghai.

Moreover, at its deep retracements in 2019 and 2020, TSLA stock held its bottom at around the 50x P/E mark.

We think it&#39;s justified because Tesla&#39;s Shanghai manufacturing capacity has been significantly impacted. Based on the latest updates, Giga Shanghai could be in a closed-loop system until mid-June. However, it has been unable to shift to a higher gear with a double shift system, as the plant operated at 45% capacity. Bloomberg reported that the second shift could resume this week. Therefore, we urge investors to pay attention to updates regarding the resumption of the second shift. It&#39;s critical to recover its manufacturing cadence while Berlin and Texas continue their early ramp.</p><p>As a result, the consensus estimates over its Q2 deliveries outlook have shrunk by more than 20%, from 350K (pre-lockdowns) to 277K. Consequently, Tesla&#39;s revenue growth estimates for FQ2 have also been revised to 50.8%, down from 58.5% in April. It also represents a significant downtick from Q1&#39;s 80.5% growth. Furthermore, its EBIT margins have also been impacted, down slightly from April estimates of 14.8% to 14.6%.</p><p>Notably, its GAAP EPS estimates have also been revised downwards from April&#39;s $1.94 (up 90.1% YoY) to $1.85 (up 81.1% YoY). Hence, we believe the reaction in the market is justified, as the market needs to price in the uncertainties in Q2.</p><p>Notwithstanding, the Street expects Tesla to pick up the pace rapidly in H2&#39;22. Tesla is expected to compensate for its Q2&#39;s snarls in H2, with its revenue and EPS estimates upgraded.

On the other hand, investors should note that the company&#39;s already very large size will likely prevent Apple from growing at an overly high pace in the coming years. Buybacks will also be less impactful due to an above-average valuation, and total returns could therefore be significantly lower compared to what investors got used to over the last couple of years.</p><h2>AAPL Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>Apple has excellent fundamentals. This includes strong margins, which are the result of a brand that warrants premium prices for Apple&#39;s products. Strong margins naturally mean that the company earns large amounts of money for each product it sells, but margins are also of importance due to a couple of other factors. High margins mean that inflationary pressures do not hurt Apple too much, for example. If margins were to compress by 100 base points due to higher input costs, the hit to Apple&#39;s bottom line would be a pretty small 4%. A competitor with a weaker net profit margin of 10% would see profits take a 10% hit in the same margin compression scenario. In a way, Apple&#39;s strong margins thus reduce risks for shareholders, as the company is able to stomach inflation, recessions, etc. easier compared to peers that are less profitable.</p><p>Apple also has a strong balance sheet and generates excellent cash flows. Per the company&#39;s most recent 10-Q filing, Apple Inc. had $203 billion of cash and equivalents on its balance sheet at the end of the first quarter. This was partially offset by $123 billion of debt, for a net cash position of $80 billion. At the same time, Apple&#39;s free cash flow came in at a gigantic $102 billion over the last four quarters, with capital expenditures of $10 billion already being accounted for. Capital expenditures of $10 billion aren&#39;t high for a company the size of Apple, but that can be attributed to its asset-light business model. Without costly manufacturing equipment, production plants, etc., the company is able to turn most of its operating cash flows into free cash. This naturally benefits shareholders as Apple can finance immense shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks.</p><h2>Apple&#39;s Growth Potential In Different Markets</h2><p>Apple&#39;s biggest business today is its iPhone franchise. That is not a high-growth market, however. Many people around the world have smartphones already, and those that do not own a smartphone generally do not buy a (high-priced) iPhone as their first product, instead opting for lower-priced entry phones. That being said, the iPhone business should still generate some growth through price increases over the years, but that will not be a major growth driver. Apple&#39;s very fast iPhone profits allow the company to invest in other areas, however. On top of that, the iPhone user base is important when it comes to growing revenues in the services segment.</p><p>As iPhone users acquire additional apps and consume more services and media through their phones over time, Apple&#39;s services (Apple Music, iCloud, Apple Pay, and the take from sales in its App Store) will experience growth over time. During the most recent quarter, Apple&#39;s Services revenue hit a new all-time high, with revenue of $19.5 billion, which was up 23% year over year. I expect that the addition of new services over time and the growing usage of existing services will allow Apple to grow its Services revenue meaningfully over the coming years.</p><p>Apple also seeks to expand in other areas. This includes Apple&#39;s Health ventures, as well as the Apple Car project. In both cases, Apple addresses a large market, which means that these projects could eventually move the needle very meaningfully for Apple. At least in the very near term, those will not be relevant growth drivers, however.</p><p>Some projections see the Apple Car project add $50 billion in revenue by 2030. That sounds like quite a lot, but on a relative basis, it&#39;s not that much, to be honest. Apple has generated revenue of $380 billion over the last year, thus the Apple Car business would add around 13% to that. If that were to happen during a single year, that would be outstanding, of course. But if it happens over roughly ten years, then the annualized growth boost is relatively slim, at just 1%-2%. When Apple&#39;s iPhone sales started to soar, the company generated year-over-year revenue growth rates of 50% and more during some quarters. The Apple Car project, even if successful, will not replicate that. The law of large numbers dictates that growing at a high relative growth rate becomes harder the larger a company gets. And with sales in the $380 billion a year area, Apple is very large already, which means that even successful product introductions will almost certainly not allow Apple to deliver another 50%+ revenue gain in the future, ever.</p><p>Still, between growth from its existing businesses and the introduction of new products over time, Apple will continue to deliver reasonable business growth over the years. Analysts are currently predicting a revenue growth rate of 7% a year through the next decade. My personal estimate would be slightly lower, at around 5%, but Apple may very well hit the 7% level -- which would be a strong result for a company this large, even though some of Apple&#39;s owners might be hoping for (way) stronger growth.</p><h2>Will The Metaverse Impact Apple?</h2><p>Apple also has ambitions when it comes to the Metaverse. Those haven&#39;t been broadcasted as widely as those from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a> (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), etc. But still, Apple seeks to become a major player in this future industry. Apple&#39;s CEO Tim Cook first started publicly speaking about Augmented Reality in 2017, and that&#39;s also when Apple&#39;s ARKit was introduced. There are rumors that Apple might introduce its first AR/VR headset Apple Glass as early as this year, although there are no guarantees for that, of course. Still, it seems pretty clear that Apple&#39;s expansion into this space will continue over the coming years. Apple&#39;s revenue potential is uncertain, however. Whether AR/VR tech will become big enough to move the needle in a big way seems questionable for the next couple of years at least. But even if the Metaverse impact remains relatively small for the foreseeable future, the growth in the businesses laid out above should allow Apple to grow meaningfully going forward.</p><h2>Where Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years?</h2><p>Business growth opportunities do not necessarily translate into strong equity returns. Cisco (CSCO) grew its business considerably between 2000 and 2010, as revenue rose by close to 100%. And still, Cisco&#39;s shares went down by more than 60% in that time frame, as valuation compression was even more impactful than the business growth the company experienced in that time frame. In Apple&#39;s case, total returns will be stronger, but multiple compression could still be a headwind going forward:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/05d814ce0bd4641eabe68a69249df8f1\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Apple trades at a ~30% premium compared to the 5-year median when we look at its earnings multiple, while the premium compared to the 5-year median is ~50% when we look at Apple&#39;s enterprise value to EBITDA ratio. Clearly, Apple is significantly more expensive than it used to be in the past. When we look at the median valuations over the last ten years, the current premium is even more pronounced.</p><p>If Apple manages to grow its revenue by 7% a year over the next decade, in line with what analysts are expecting, we could see earnings per share growth in the 10% range, once we account for buybacks. Those have slowed down to just 2% over the last year, but let&#39;s still assume that Apple will be able to buy back around 3% of its share count in the future. With 10% annual earnings per share growth, Apple would be a pretty fast-growing enterprise, considering its already very large size. In that scenario, earnings per share could climb from $6.15 in 2022 to around $15.90 in 2032. If Apple were to trade at 22x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $350. In this scenario, where Apple is trading in line with the 5-year median valuation, Apple would deliver annual share price gains of 7%.</p><p>When we consider that the last five years have been pretty good for equities and that this will not necessarily be the case going forward, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> can also make a case for a lower valuation, however. Rising interest rates could definitely result in lower valuations in future years, compared to how Apple and other equities were valued in the recent past. If Apple were to trade at 20x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $320 in 2032, which would translate into 6% annual share price gains. If the earnings multiple drops to 18, the 2032 share price target is $286, which would result in annual share price gains of 5%. Some investors might believe that a valuation this low is highly unlikely, as AAPL is trading well above that level today. But once we consider that the 10-year median earnings multiple is <i>even lower</i>, at 16, a high-teens earnings multiple does not seem that unlikely after all.</p><p>All in all, we can summarize that Apple&#39;s growth outlook over the coming years is solid thanks to cash cow businesses like the iPhone that allow for growth investments in other areas. Share buybacks should also allow AAPL to grow its earnings per share more quickly compared to the business growth rate. That being said, the share price might not rise that much over the coming decade. Depending on circumstances such as market sentiment, interest rates, etc. a share price in the $280 to $350 range seems realistic, I believe. That would translate into annual share price gains of 5%-7%.</p><h2>Is AAPL Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</h2><p>Apple is an excellent company, and it has been a great investment in the past. But the fact that Apple has delivered outstanding returns over the last five or ten years does not mean that this will repeat. Shares were cheap a decade ago, and they are trading at a huge premium compared to the historic valuation today. To me, it seems realistic that Apple will deliver mid-to-high single-digits annual returns going forward. That&#39;s far from bad, but I do not believe that this makes Apple a Buy today.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Apple Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIs Apple Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-08 23:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4500335-apple-stock-10-years><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple Inc.  is an ultra-high quality blue-chip company with an excellent brand and growth opportunities in health, automotive vehicle tech, and virtual reality.

On the other hand, investors should note that the company's already very large size will likely prevent Apple from growing at an overly high pace in the coming years. Buybacks will also be less impactful due to an above-average valuation, and total returns could therefore be significantly lower compared to what investors got used to over the last couple of years.AAPL Stock Key MetricsApple has excellent fundamentals. This includes strong margins, which are the result of a brand that warrants premium prices for Apple's products. Strong margins naturally mean that the company earns large amounts of money for each product it sells, but margins are also of importance due to a couple of other factors. High margins mean that inflationary pressures do not hurt Apple too much, for example. If margins were to compress by 100 base points due to higher input costs, the hit to Apple's bottom line would be a pretty small 4%. A competitor with a weaker net profit margin of 10% would see profits take a 10% hit in the same margin compression scenario. In a way, Apple's strong margins thus reduce risks for shareholders, as the company is able to stomach inflation, recessions, etc. easier compared to peers that are less profitable.Apple also has a strong balance sheet and generates excellent cash flows. Per the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Apple Inc. had $203 billion of cash and equivalents on its balance sheet at the end of the first quarter. This was partially offset by $123 billion of debt, for a net cash position of $80 billion. At the same time, Apple's free cash flow came in at a gigantic $102 billion over the last four quarters, with capital expenditures of $10 billion already being accounted for. Capital expenditures of $10 billion aren't high for a company the size of Apple, but that can be attributed to its asset-light business model. Without costly manufacturing equipment, production plants, etc., the company is able to turn most of its operating cash flows into free cash. This naturally benefits shareholders as Apple can finance immense shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks.Apple's Growth Potential In Different MarketsApple's biggest business today is its iPhone franchise. That is not a high-growth market, however. Many people around the world have smartphones already, and those that do not own a smartphone generally do not buy a (high-priced) iPhone as their first product, instead opting for lower-priced entry phones. That being said, the iPhone business should still generate some growth through price increases over the years, but that will not be a major growth driver. Apple's very fast iPhone profits allow the company to invest in other areas, however. On top of that, the iPhone user base is important when it comes to growing revenues in the services segment.As iPhone users acquire additional apps and consume more services and media through their phones over time, Apple's services (Apple Music, iCloud, Apple Pay, and the take from sales in its App Store) will experience growth over time. During the most recent quarter, Apple's Services revenue hit a new all-time high, with revenue of $19.5 billion, which was up 23% year over year. I expect that the addition of new services over time and the growing usage of existing services will allow Apple to grow its Services revenue meaningfully over the coming years.Apple also seeks to expand in other areas. This includes Apple's Health ventures, as well as the Apple Car project. In both cases, Apple addresses a large market, which means that these projects could eventually move the needle very meaningfully for Apple. At least in the very near term, those will not be relevant growth drivers, however.Some projections see the Apple Car project add $50 billion in revenue by 2030. That sounds like quite a lot, but on a relative basis, it's not that much, to be honest. Apple has generated revenue of $380 billion over the last year, thus the Apple Car business would add around 13% to that. If that were to happen during a single year, that would be outstanding, of course. But if it happens over roughly ten years, then the annualized growth boost is relatively slim, at just 1%-2%. When Apple's iPhone sales started to soar, the company generated year-over-year revenue growth rates of 50% and more during some quarters. The Apple Car project, even if successful, will not replicate that. The law of large numbers dictates that growing at a high relative growth rate becomes harder the larger a company gets. And with sales in the $380 billion a year area, Apple is very large already, which means that even successful product introductions will almost certainly not allow Apple to deliver another 50%+ revenue gain in the future, ever.Still, between growth from its existing businesses and the introduction of new products over time, Apple will continue to deliver reasonable business growth over the years. Analysts are currently predicting a revenue growth rate of 7% a year through the next decade. My personal estimate would be slightly lower, at around 5%, but Apple may very well hit the 7% level -- which would be a strong result for a company this large, even though some of Apple's owners might be hoping for (way) stronger growth.Will The Metaverse Impact Apple?Apple also has ambitions when it comes to the Metaverse. Those haven't been broadcasted as widely as those from Meta Platforms (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), etc. But still, Apple seeks to become a major player in this future industry. Apple's CEO Tim Cook first started publicly speaking about Augmented Reality in 2017, and that's also when Apple's ARKit was introduced. There are rumors that Apple might introduce its first AR/VR headset Apple Glass as early as this year, although there are no guarantees for that, of course. Still, it seems pretty clear that Apple's expansion into this space will continue over the coming years. Apple's revenue potential is uncertain, however. Whether AR/VR tech will become big enough to move the needle in a big way seems questionable for the next couple of years at least. But even if the Metaverse impact remains relatively small for the foreseeable future, the growth in the businesses laid out above should allow Apple to grow meaningfully going forward.Where Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years?Business growth opportunities do not necessarily translate into strong equity returns. Cisco (CSCO) grew its business considerably between 2000 and 2010, as revenue rose by close to 100%. And still, Cisco's shares went down by more than 60% in that time frame, as valuation compression was even more impactful than the business growth the company experienced in that time frame. In Apple's case, total returns will be stronger, but multiple compression could still be a headwind going forward:Data by YChartsApple trades at a ~30% premium compared to the 5-year median when we look at its earnings multiple, while the premium compared to the 5-year median is ~50% when we look at Apple's enterprise value to EBITDA ratio. Clearly, Apple is significantly more expensive than it used to be in the past. When we look at the median valuations over the last ten years, the current premium is even more pronounced.If Apple manages to grow its revenue by 7% a year over the next decade, in line with what analysts are expecting, we could see earnings per share growth in the 10% range, once we account for buybacks. Those have slowed down to just 2% over the last year, but let's still assume that Apple will be able to buy back around 3% of its share count in the future. With 10% annual earnings per share growth, Apple would be a pretty fast-growing enterprise, considering its already very large size. In that scenario, earnings per share could climb from $6.15 in 2022 to around $15.90 in 2032. If Apple were to trade at 22x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $350. In this scenario, where Apple is trading in line with the 5-year median valuation, Apple would deliver annual share price gains of 7%.When we consider that the last five years have been pretty good for equities and that this will not necessarily be the case going forward, one can also make a case for a lower valuation, however. Rising interest rates could definitely result in lower valuations in future years, compared to how Apple and other equities were valued in the recent past. If Apple were to trade at 20x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $320 in 2032, which would translate into 6% annual share price gains. If the earnings multiple drops to 18, the 2032 share price target is $286, which would result in annual share price gains of 5%. Some investors might believe that a valuation this low is highly unlikely, as AAPL is trading well above that level today. But once we consider that the 10-year median earnings multiple is even lower, at 16, a high-teens earnings multiple does not seem that unlikely after all.All in all, we can summarize that Apple's growth outlook over the coming years is solid thanks to cash cow businesses like the iPhone that allow for growth investments in other areas. Share buybacks should also allow AAPL to grow its earnings per share more quickly compared to the business growth rate. That being said, the share price might not rise that much over the coming decade. Depending on circumstances such as market sentiment, interest rates, etc. a share price in the $280 to $350 range seems realistic, I believe. That would translate into annual share price gains of 5%-7%.Is AAPL Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?Apple is an excellent company, and it has been a great investment in the past. But the fact that Apple has delivered outstanding returns over the last five or ten years does not mean that this will repeat. Shares were cheap a decade ago, and they are trading at a huge premium compared to the historic valuation today. To me, it seems realistic that Apple will deliver mid-to-high single-digits annual returns going forward. That's far from bad, but I do not believe that this makes Apple a Buy today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":316,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9034972681,"gmtCreate":1647780079693,"gmtModify":1676534265210,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[666]&nbsp;","listText":"[666]&nbsp;","text":"[666]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9034972681","repostId":"2220726035","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2220726035","pubTimestamp":1647650557,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2220726035?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-19 08:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney: Awakening The Sleeping Giant","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2220726035","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryDisney+ is on track to meeting its FY2024 targets and will be doubling the number of original","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Disney+ is on track to meeting its FY2024 targets and will be doubling the number of original content as well as the number of markets it&#39;s operating in.</li><li>ESPN&#39;s huge scale could bring additional huge growth opportunities in sports betting, which Disney has given the nod of approval for.</li><li>Both domestic and international parks will see strong recovery as pent-up demand for travel brings traffic back to Disney&#39;s parks along with an improvement in margins.</li><li>Based on an SOTP valuation, my target price for Disney is $197, implying 43% upside from current levels.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b25c502149358c089ee67660f6d4830\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p><p>Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) is an attractive investment right now due to its long term growth potential as well as its likely recovery from covid impacts to its parks and attractions.</p><p><b>Investment thesis</b></p><p>The investment theses for Disney are as follows:</p><ol><li>Disney+ will be doubling the number of markets it operates in globally and doubling the amount of original content it is releasing. Furthermore, the market is under-pricing the chance of Disney+ achieving its FY2024 targets, which in my view, is becoming much more achievable with the current roadmap.</li><li>Sports could be an interesting bright spot for Disney as ESPN could leverage on its huge scale to enter sports betting, which is what many of its ESPN consumers want.</li><li>Parks segment will see a strong recovery in FY2022 due to increasing domestic and international guests at its attractions as travel resumes and heads back towards pre-COVID times.</li></ol><p>Overview</p><p>When looking at Disney, it&#39;s important to note the revenue mix of the company. There are two main segments to Disney:</p><ol><li>Disney Media &amp; Entertainment Distribution (DMED) segment which makes up 75% of revenues in 2021. This segment was formed in 2020 as part of Disney&#39;s reorganisation of its media and entertainment business and as it focuses more on the segment. This segment includes streaming services,, linear and syndicated television networks. This includes the direct-to-consumer units like Disney+, Hotstar, ESPN, Hulu</li><li>Disney Parks, Experiences &amp; Products (DPEP) segment which makes up 25% of revenues in 2021. This is Disney&#39;s most iconic travel and leisure business which includes its 6 resort destinations in the United States, Europe and Asia, as well as its cruise line.</li></ol><p>However, the revenue mix in FY2020 and FY2021, in my opinion, is more skewed towards DMED segment due to the huge impact on DPEP segment as the COVID 19 pandemic struck in 2020 and the impacts continued to linger in 2021. Of course, there is also the trend of fast growing DMED segment due to the increasing penetration of Disney&#39;s DTC streaming services like Disney+</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85405b7865b0cfd86dacf33622d3fdb2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Revenue mix and growth of Disney (Disney Annual Reports)</span></p><p>When looking at the operating income mix, I think it is quite clear that the DPEP segment has not just seen a decline in revenues, but also margin reduction due to the low volumes in its parks and attractions. That said, at pre-COVID levels, the DPEP segment was one of the more profitable segments at around 27% operating margins. In my opinion, it is a matter of time before Disney&#39;s DPEP segment operating margins will normalise as customers return to its parks.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cde9d56416980fbbade8ae8f921bbbd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"233\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Disney Operating Income Mix and Growth (Disney Annual Reports)</span></p><p><b>Disney+ is well positioned for the future</b></p><p>With net adds to Disney+ subs being 11.8 million in 1QFY22, this beat on consensus shows me that the market may perhaps be underpricing the probability of Disney+ achieving its long term 2024 target of achieving 230 million to 260 million subscribers.</p><p>Furthermore, what makes me more optimistic about Disney+ is the strong slate of marquee content coming in 2QF22 and beyond.</p><p>Overall, Disney is almost doubling the amount or original content from its marquee brands in Disney+ in FY2022, with most of these titles coming online in 2HFY22, particularly between July and September. In 2QF22, Pixar will release <i>Turning Red</i> (11 March) and Marvel releases <i>Moon Knight</i> (30 March).</p><p>More highly anticipated releases in 3QF22 and after will include 2 new Star Wars series <i>Andor</i> (To be announced) and <i>Obi-Wan Kenobi</i> (25 March), new Marvel series <i>Ms. Marvel</i> (To be announced) and <i>She-Hulk</i> (To be announced), a live-action <i>Pinocchio</i>(To be announced) starring Tom Hanks, and <i>Hocus Pocus 2</i> (FY2023).</p><p>Management reiterated that they have more than 340 local original titles in various stages of development and production for their DTC platforms over the next few years. Local content offerings are also increasing in Asia, India, Europe, and LatAm in FY2022, with the majority of those titles releasing in F2H22.</p><p>In my opinion, this will be a pivotal moment for Disney+ as 4QFY22 will be the first time in Disney+ history that the company will be releasing original content throughout the quarter from all of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Nat Geo.</p><p>Although there could be some risk of subs deceleration in 2QFY22 due to the back end weighted content in the second half of the year. That said, the focus should really be on 2HFY22 as, in my opinion, there could be meaningfully much higher net adds to subscriber base, partly due to content release schedule in 2HFY22, and also the international launches happening as Disney+ expands its reach globally.</p><p>In the 1QFY22 management call, management emphasised Disney+&#39;s expansion globally. In FY2022, the company plans on bringing Disney+ to more than 50 more countries. This includes countries in Central Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa.</p><p>In total, management has plans to more than double the number of markets Disney+ is in now from 80 currently to more than 160 markets by FY2023. I would expect that the initial impact of these planned market launches will be most evident in F3Q22. As such, I am of the opinion that we will continue to see quarter over quarter improvements in Disney+ net adds from 8 million net adds in 2QFY22, to 12 million net adds in 3QFY22.</p><p><b>Sports could be a future bright spot</b></p><p>In the November 10 2021 earnings call, Bob Chapek, CEO of Disney, said that the company will expand into sports betting through ESPN. Although this may not sound like anything new, this is the first time ESPN&#39;s parent company, Disney, acknowledged that sports betting will be beneficial to the parent company and will not affect Disney&#39;s brand. This sets a clear signal that the top management in Disney is giving the go ahead to go deeper and bigger into the world of sports betting.</p><p>In fact, sports betting has been something the company has been dipping its toes into. In 2020, ESPN got into an agreement with both Caesars Entertainment and DraftKings to link to their sportsbooks from</p><p>There were talks in August 2021 about ESPN, at that time, was in discussions to potentially explore a brand licensing deal with DraftKings or Caesars Entertainment for $3 billion.</p><p>Bob Chapek mentioned that the company wants to have a greater presence in online sports betting and can leverage on ESPN&#39;s reach and scale to partner with 3rd parties in the sports betting space.</p><p>In my opinion, this could help Disney create brand new revenue streams and bring growth to ESPN, especially as ESPN advertising revenues were flat in the 4th quarter of 2021 when compared to the same quarter a year before. However, its streaming service EPSN+ grew subscribers by 66% over the year and almost 90% of the most watched broadcasts on Disney&#39;s owned TV networks were sports events. Thus, I think that to leverage on this strength that Disney has would make lots of sense not just for ESPN, but for Disney as a whole.</p><p>In addition, the move to sports betting would also attract and retain a younger audience and keep the momentum growing for ESPN. Furthermore, it is noted by Chapel that the consumer wants to have sports betting and to meet the needs of the ESPN customers, Disney needs to move into sports betting or risk missing a great opportunity or even being irrelevant in the future.</p><p><b>Recovery of parks will bring huge revenue and operating income upside</b></p><p>In 1QFY22, the Parks segment saw a material beat in revenues and operating incomes which in my view is a sign that we could be seeing structurally stronger growth rates in revenue as well as operating margins normalisation as international parks and domestic parks fully open and as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels.</p><p>Although there were lower attendance than 2019, Parks revenue and operating income matched pre-pandemic levels due to the higher yield benefits with per cap spending up more than 40% compared to 1QFY19.</p><p>Furthermore, based on the latest results, trends in attendance at Disney&#39;s domestic parks have continued to increase as Walt Disney World and Disneyland 1QFY22 attendance was up double digits compared to that of 4QFY21. This was likely also reflecting the seasonality effects of the holiday season.</p><p>Moving forward, although there is likely to be continued impact from COVID in the form of volatility, Disney&#39;s domestic parks will likely see continued strong demand from domestic guests while international parks will likely see a surge in demand in the latter half of the year. This is due to the increased closures like that of Hong Kong Disneyland currently being temporarily closed.</p><p>For my longer term forecasts, I believe that we could see per caps spending sustain above pre-COVID levels and thus this will drive higher margins for the segment. Driven by huge volume and customer growth both from domestic and international guests, the recovery in Disney&#39;s Parks segment will be significant in FY2022.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Based on above points mentioned, I developed a financial model for Disney to come up with a valuation using sum of the parts (SOTP) valuation of the different segments. Due to the currently unprofitable nature of DTC, this was forecasted using longer term DCF model for the DTC segment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/592ec77a3e6703ec77a973ea2f37ec2d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"267\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>SOTP Valuation of Disney (Author generated model)</span></p><p>Based on the SOTP valuation, I derived a target price of $197, and there is a 43% upside potential for Disney based on current price levels.</p><p>Looking to relative valuation, when comparing Disney with Netflix (NFLX), one of Disney&#39;s competitors in the streaming services market, the forward P/E ratios of both companies are somewhat similar at about 31x to 32x 1 year forward P/E.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bba2de777172d857327f65f1635488c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>However, as highlighted in earlier sections, Disney&#39;s growth is likely to be higher than that of Netflix due to the higher growth from DPEP segment as travel recovers, and also from DMED segment as Disney+ content releases bring in record numbers of net adds and subscribers. As can be seen below, although Disney&#39;s revenues plunged in 2020, its starting to show faster growth in 2021 as it continues to recover from the COVID situation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b539d4941a78dc5366d8a9b95abaa13\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p><b>Competition</b></p><p>We are seeing increased competition in the streaming space.

Furthermore, the market is under-pricing the chance of Disney+ achieving its FY2024 targets, which in my view, is becoming much more achievable with the current roadmap.Sports could be an interesting bright spot for Disney as ESPN could leverage on its huge scale to enter sports betting, which is what many of its ESPN consumers want.Parks segment will see a strong recovery in FY2022 due to increasing domestic and international guests at its attractions as travel resumes and heads back towards pre-COVID times.OverviewWhen looking at Disney, it's important to note the revenue mix of the company. There are two main segments to Disney:Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution (DMED) segment which makes up 75% of revenues in 2021. This segment was formed in 2020 as part of Disney's reorganisation of its media and entertainment business and as it focuses more on the segment. This segment includes streaming services,, linear and syndicated television networks. This includes the direct-to-consumer units like Disney+, Hotstar, ESPN, HuluDisney Parks, Experiences & Products (DPEP) segment which makes up 25% of revenues in 2021. This is Disney's most iconic travel and leisure business which includes its 6 resort destinations in the United States, Europe and Asia, as well as its cruise line.However, the revenue mix in FY2020 and FY2021, in my opinion, is more skewed towards DMED segment due to the huge impact on DPEP segment as the COVID 19 pandemic struck in 2020 and the impacts continued to linger in 2021. Of course, there is also the trend of fast growing DMED segment due to the increasing penetration of Disney's DTC streaming services like Disney+Revenue mix and growth of Disney (Disney Annual Reports)When looking at the operating income mix, I think it is quite clear that the DPEP segment has not just seen a decline in revenues, but also margin reduction due to the low volumes in its parks and attractions. That said, at pre-COVID levels, the DPEP segment was one of the more profitable segments at around 27% operating margins. In my opinion, it is a matter of time before Disney's DPEP segment operating margins will normalise as customers return to its parks.Disney Operating Income Mix and Growth (Disney Annual Reports)Disney+ is well positioned for the futureWith net adds to Disney+ subs being 11.8 million in 1QFY22, this beat on consensus shows me that the market may perhaps be underpricing the probability of Disney+ achieving its long term 2024 target of achieving 230 million to 260 million subscribers.Furthermore, what makes me more optimistic about Disney+ is the strong slate of marquee content coming in 2QF22 and beyond.Overall, Disney is almost doubling the amount or original content from its marquee brands in Disney+ in FY2022, with most of these titles coming online in 2HFY22, particularly between July and September. In 2QF22, Pixar will release Turning Red (11 March) and Marvel releases Moon Knight (30 March).More highly anticipated releases in 3QF22 and after will include 2 new Star Wars series Andor (To be announced) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (25 March), new Marvel series Ms. Marvel (To be announced) and She-Hulk (To be announced), a live-action Pinocchio(To be announced) starring Tom Hanks, and Hocus Pocus 2 (FY2023).Management reiterated that they have more than 340 local original titles in various stages of development and production for their DTC platforms over the next few years. Local content offerings are also increasing in Asia, India, Europe, and LatAm in FY2022, with the majority of those titles releasing in F2H22.In my opinion, this will be a pivotal moment for Disney+ as 4QFY22 will be the first time in Disney+ history that the company will be releasing original content throughout the quarter from all of Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Nat Geo.Although there could be some risk of subs deceleration in 2QFY22 due to the back end weighted content in the second half of the year. That said, the focus should really be on 2HFY22 as, in my opinion, there could be meaningfully much higher net adds to subscriber base, partly due to content release schedule in 2HFY22, and also the international launches happening as Disney+ expands its reach globally.In the 1QFY22 management call, management emphasised Disney+'s expansion globally. In FY2022, the company plans on bringing Disney+ to more than 50 more countries. This includes countries in Central Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa.In total, management has plans to more than double the number of markets Disney+ is in now from 80 currently to more than 160 markets by FY2023. I would expect that the initial impact of these planned market launches will be most evident in F3Q22. As such, I am of the opinion that we will continue to see quarter over quarter improvements in Disney+ net adds from 8 million net adds in 2QFY22, to 12 million net adds in 3QFY22.Sports could be a future bright spotIn the November 10 2021 earnings call, Bob Chapek, CEO of Disney, said that the company will expand into sports betting through ESPN. Although this may not sound like anything new, this is the first time ESPN's parent company, Disney, acknowledged that sports betting will be beneficial to the parent company and will not affect Disney's brand. This sets a clear signal that the top management in Disney is giving the go ahead to go deeper and bigger into the world of sports betting.In fact, sports betting has been something the company has been dipping its toes into. In 2020, ESPN got into an agreement with both Caesars Entertainment and DraftKings to link to their sportsbooks fromThere were talks in August 2021 about ESPN, at that time, was in discussions to potentially explore a brand licensing deal with DraftKings or Caesars Entertainment for $3 billion.Bob Chapek mentioned that the company wants to have a greater presence in online sports betting and can leverage on ESPN's reach and scale to partner with 3rd parties in the sports betting space.In my opinion, this could help Disney create brand new revenue streams and bring growth to ESPN, especially as ESPN advertising revenues were flat in the 4th quarter of 2021 when compared to the same quarter a year before. However, its streaming service EPSN+ grew subscribers by 66% over the year and almost 90% of the most watched broadcasts on Disney's owned TV networks were sports events. Thus, I think that to leverage on this strength that Disney has would make lots of sense not just for ESPN, but for Disney as a whole.In addition, the move to sports betting would also attract and retain a younger audience and keep the momentum growing for ESPN. Furthermore, it is noted by Chapel that the consumer wants to have sports betting and to meet the needs of the ESPN customers, Disney needs to move into sports betting or risk missing a great opportunity or even being irrelevant in the future.Recovery of parks will bring huge revenue and operating income upsideIn 1QFY22, the Parks segment saw a material beat in revenues and operating incomes which in my view is a sign that we could be seeing structurally stronger growth rates in revenue as well as operating margins normalisation as international parks and domestic parks fully open and as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels.Although there were lower attendance than 2019, Parks revenue and operating income matched pre-pandemic levels due to the higher yield benefits with per cap spending up more than 40% compared to 1QFY19.Furthermore, based on the latest results, trends in attendance at Disney's domestic parks have continued to increase as Walt Disney World and Disneyland 1QFY22 attendance was up double digits compared to that of 4QFY21. This was likely also reflecting the seasonality effects of the holiday season.Moving forward, although there is likely to be continued impact from COVID in the form of volatility, Disney's domestic parks will likely see continued strong demand from domestic guests while international parks will likely see a surge in demand in the latter half of the year. This is due to the increased closures like that of Hong Kong Disneyland currently being temporarily closed.For my longer term forecasts, I believe that we could see per caps spending sustain above pre-COVID levels and thus this will drive higher margins for the segment. Driven by huge volume and customer growth both from domestic and international guests, the recovery in Disney's Parks segment will be significant in FY2022.ValuationBased on above points mentioned, I developed a financial model for Disney to come up with a valuation using sum of the parts (SOTP) valuation of the different segments. Due to the currently unprofitable nature of DTC, this was forecasted using longer term DCF model for the DTC segment.SOTP Valuation of Disney (Author generated model)Based on the SOTP valuation, I derived a target price of $197, and there is a 43% upside potential for Disney based on current price levels.Looking to relative valuation, when comparing Disney with Netflix (NFLX), one of Disney's competitors in the streaming services market, the forward P/E ratios of both companies are somewhat similar at about 31x to 32x 1 year forward P/E.Data by YChartsHowever, as highlighted in earlier sections, Disney's growth is likely to be higher than that of Netflix due to the higher growth from DPEP segment as travel recovers, and also from DMED segment as Disney+ content releases bring in record numbers of net adds and subscribers. As can be seen below, although Disney's revenues plunged in 2020, its starting to show faster growth in 2021 as it continues to recover from the COVID situation.Data by YChartsRisksCompetitionWe are seeing increased competition in the streaming space. Although Disney has a strong franchise of brands in Disney+, competitors like Netflix, Apple TV (AAPL) and Amazon Prime Video (AMZN) could significantly increase content and marketing trend, competing for the same eyeballs for streaming services and thereby restricting Disney's subscriber and margin growth.COVID related risksAs Disney's traditional travel and leisure Parks business is very susceptible to global travel and tourism trends, any increase in COVID related measures in any geographies that Disney's parks are operating in could result in slower than expected recovery.ConclusionAll in all, there is a good risk reward investment opportunity for Disney at the current levels. With Parks segment set to see margin improvement to above pre-COVID levels as well as see traffic return, this will bring about a huge growth in revenues and profits from the profitable parks business. Furthermore, Disney continues to execute well in its streaming business, with 2HFY22 being a very exciting time for Disney+ as it rolls out to more markets and as it releases much more original marquee content that could reach a wide range of audiences. Based on SOTP valuation, my target price for Disney is $197, implying 43% upside from current levels, which is an attractive investment opportunity in my view.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":352,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9015392895,"gmtCreate":1649424210779,"gmtModify":1676534509659,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Happy]&nbsp;","listText":"[Happy]&nbsp;","text":"[Happy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9015392895","repostId":"2225529120","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2225529120","pubTimestamp":1649430186,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2225529120?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-04-08 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Apple Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2225529120","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Apple Inc.  is an ultra-high quality blue-chip company with an excellent brand and growth opportunit","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple Inc. </a> is an ultra-high quality blue-chip company with an excellent brand and growth opportunities in health, automotive vehicle tech, and virtual reality. On the other hand, investors should note that the company&#39;s already very large size will likely prevent Apple from growing at an overly high pace in the coming years. Buybacks will also be less impactful due to an above-average valuation, and total returns could therefore be significantly lower compared to what investors got used to over the last couple of years.</p><h2>AAPL Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>Apple has excellent fundamentals. This includes strong margins, which are the result of a brand that warrants premium prices for Apple&#39;s products. Strong margins naturally mean that the company earns large amounts of money for each product it sells, but margins are also of importance due to a couple of other factors. High margins mean that inflationary pressures do not hurt Apple too much, for example. If margins were to compress by 100 base points due to higher input costs, the hit to Apple&#39;s bottom line would be a pretty small 4%. A competitor with a weaker net profit margin of 10% would see profits take a 10% hit in the same margin compression scenario. In a way, Apple&#39;s strong margins thus reduce risks for shareholders, as the company is able to stomach inflation, recessions, etc. easier compared to peers that are less profitable.</p><p>Apple also has a strong balance sheet and generates excellent cash flows. Per the company&#39;s most recent 10-Q filing, Apple Inc. had $203 billion of cash and equivalents on its balance sheet at the end of the first quarter. This was partially offset by $123 billion of debt, for a net cash position of $80 billion. At the same time, Apple&#39;s free cash flow came in at a gigantic $102 billion over the last four quarters, with capital expenditures of $10 billion already being accounted for. Capital expenditures of $10 billion aren&#39;t high for a company the size of Apple, but that can be attributed to its asset-light business model. Without costly manufacturing equipment, production plants, etc., the company is able to turn most of its operating cash flows into free cash. This naturally benefits shareholders as Apple can finance immense shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks.</p><h2>Apple&#39;s Growth Potential In Different Markets</h2><p>Apple&#39;s biggest business today is its iPhone franchise. That is not a high-growth market, however. Many people around the world have smartphones already, and those that do not own a smartphone generally do not buy a (high-priced) iPhone as their first product, instead opting for lower-priced entry phones. That being said, the iPhone business should still generate some growth through price increases over the years, but that will not be a major growth driver. Apple&#39;s very fast iPhone profits allow the company to invest in other areas, however. On top of that, the iPhone user base is important when it comes to growing revenues in the services segment.</p><p>As iPhone users acquire additional apps and consume more services and media through their phones over time, Apple&#39;s services (Apple Music, iCloud, Apple Pay, and the take from sales in its App Store) will experience growth over time. During the most recent quarter, Apple&#39;s Services revenue hit a new all-time high, with revenue of $19.5 billion, which was up 23% year over year. I expect that the addition of new services over time and the growing usage of existing services will allow Apple to grow its Services revenue meaningfully over the coming years.</p><p>Apple also seeks to expand in other areas. This includes Apple&#39;s Health ventures, as well as the Apple Car project. In both cases, Apple addresses a large market, which means that these projects could eventually move the needle very meaningfully for Apple. At least in the very near term, those will not be relevant growth drivers, however.</p><p>Some projections see the Apple Car project add $50 billion in revenue by 2030. That sounds like quite a lot, but on a relative basis, it&#39;s not that much, to be honest. Apple has generated revenue of $380 billion over the last year, thus the Apple Car business would add around 13% to that. If that were to happen during a single year, that would be outstanding, of course. But if it happens over roughly ten years, then the annualized growth boost is relatively slim, at just 1%-2%. When Apple&#39;s iPhone sales started to soar, the company generated year-over-year revenue growth rates of 50% and more during some quarters. The Apple Car project, even if successful, will not replicate that. The law of large numbers dictates that growing at a high relative growth rate becomes harder the larger a company gets. And with sales in the $380 billion a year area, Apple is very large already, which means that even successful product introductions will almost certainly not allow Apple to deliver another 50%+ revenue gain in the future, ever.</p><p>Still, between growth from its existing businesses and the introduction of new products over time, Apple will continue to deliver reasonable business growth over the years. Analysts are currently predicting a revenue growth rate of 7% a year through the next decade. My personal estimate would be slightly lower, at around 5%, but Apple may very well hit the 7% level -- which would be a strong result for a company this large, even though some of Apple&#39;s owners might be hoping for (way) stronger growth.</p><h2>Will The Metaverse Impact Apple?</h2><p>Apple also has ambitions when it comes to the Metaverse. Those haven&#39;t been broadcasted as widely as those from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a> (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), etc. But still, Apple seeks to become a major player in this future industry. Apple&#39;s CEO Tim Cook first started publicly speaking about Augmented Reality in 2017, and that&#39;s also when Apple&#39;s ARKit was introduced. There are rumors that Apple might introduce its first AR/VR headset Apple Glass as early as this year, although there are no guarantees for that, of course. Still, it seems pretty clear that Apple&#39;s expansion into this space will continue over the coming years. Apple&#39;s revenue potential is uncertain, however. Whether AR/VR tech will become big enough to move the needle in a big way seems questionable for the next couple of years at least. But even if the Metaverse impact remains relatively small for the foreseeable future, the growth in the businesses laid out above should allow Apple to grow meaningfully going forward.</p><h2>Where Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years?</h2><p>Business growth opportunities do not necessarily translate into strong equity returns. Cisco (CSCO) grew its business considerably between 2000 and 2010, as revenue rose by close to 100%. And still, Cisco&#39;s shares went down by more than 60% in that time frame, as valuation compression was even more impactful than the business growth the company experienced in that time frame. In Apple&#39;s case, total returns will be stronger, but multiple compression could still be a headwind going forward:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/05d814ce0bd4641eabe68a69249df8f1\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Apple trades at a ~30% premium compared to the 5-year median when we look at its earnings multiple, while the premium compared to the 5-year median is ~50% when we look at Apple&#39;s enterprise value to EBITDA ratio. Clearly, Apple is significantly more expensive than it used to be in the past. When we look at the median valuations over the last ten years, the current premium is even more pronounced.</p><p>If Apple manages to grow its revenue by 7% a year over the next decade, in line with what analysts are expecting, we could see earnings per share growth in the 10% range, once we account for buybacks. Those have slowed down to just 2% over the last year, but let&#39;s still assume that Apple will be able to buy back around 3% of its share count in the future. With 10% annual earnings per share growth, Apple would be a pretty fast-growing enterprise, considering its already very large size. In that scenario, earnings per share could climb from $6.15 in 2022 to around $15.90 in 2032. If Apple were to trade at 22x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $350. In this scenario, where Apple is trading in line with the 5-year median valuation, Apple would deliver annual share price gains of 7%.</p><p>When we consider that the last five years have been pretty good for equities and that this will not necessarily be the case going forward, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> can also make a case for a lower valuation, however. Rising interest rates could definitely result in lower valuations in future years, compared to how Apple and other equities were valued in the recent past. If Apple were to trade at 20x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $320 in 2032, which would translate into 6% annual share price gains. If the earnings multiple drops to 18, the 2032 share price target is $286, which would result in annual share price gains of 5%. Some investors might believe that a valuation this low is highly unlikely, as AAPL is trading well above that level today. But once we consider that the 10-year median earnings multiple is <i>even lower</i>, at 16, a high-teens earnings multiple does not seem that unlikely after all.</p><p>All in all, we can summarize that Apple&#39;s growth outlook over the coming years is solid thanks to cash cow businesses like the iPhone that allow for growth investments in other areas. Share buybacks should also allow AAPL to grow its earnings per share more quickly compared to the business growth rate. That being said, the share price might not rise that much over the coming decade. Depending on circumstances such as market sentiment, interest rates, etc. a share price in the $280 to $350 range seems realistic, I believe. That would translate into annual share price gains of 5%-7%.</p><h2>Is AAPL Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</h2><p>Apple is an excellent company, and it has been a great investment in the past. But the fact that Apple has delivered outstanding returns over the last five or ten years does not mean that this will repeat.

On the other hand, investors should note that the company's already very large size will likely prevent Apple from growing at an overly high pace in the coming years. Buybacks will also be less impactful due to an above-average valuation, and total returns could therefore be significantly lower compared to what investors got used to over the last couple of years.AAPL Stock Key MetricsApple has excellent fundamentals. This includes strong margins, which are the result of a brand that warrants premium prices for Apple's products. Strong margins naturally mean that the company earns large amounts of money for each product it sells, but margins are also of importance due to a couple of other factors. High margins mean that inflationary pressures do not hurt Apple too much, for example. If margins were to compress by 100 base points due to higher input costs, the hit to Apple's bottom line would be a pretty small 4%. A competitor with a weaker net profit margin of 10% would see profits take a 10% hit in the same margin compression scenario. In a way, Apple's strong margins thus reduce risks for shareholders, as the company is able to stomach inflation, recessions, etc. easier compared to peers that are less profitable.Apple also has a strong balance sheet and generates excellent cash flows. Per the company's most recent 10-Q filing, Apple Inc. had $203 billion of cash and equivalents on its balance sheet at the end of the first quarter. This was partially offset by $123 billion of debt, for a net cash position of $80 billion. At the same time, Apple's free cash flow came in at a gigantic $102 billion over the last four quarters, with capital expenditures of $10 billion already being accounted for. Capital expenditures of $10 billion aren't high for a company the size of Apple, but that can be attributed to its asset-light business model. Without costly manufacturing equipment, production plants, etc., the company is able to turn most of its operating cash flows into free cash. This naturally benefits shareholders as Apple can finance immense shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks.Apple's Growth Potential In Different MarketsApple's biggest business today is its iPhone franchise. That is not a high-growth market, however. Many people around the world have smartphones already, and those that do not own a smartphone generally do not buy a (high-priced) iPhone as their first product, instead opting for lower-priced entry phones. That being said, the iPhone business should still generate some growth through price increases over the years, but that will not be a major growth driver. Apple's very fast iPhone profits allow the company to invest in other areas, however. On top of that, the iPhone user base is important when it comes to growing revenues in the services segment.As iPhone users acquire additional apps and consume more services and media through their phones over time, Apple's services (Apple Music, iCloud, Apple Pay, and the take from sales in its App Store) will experience growth over time. During the most recent quarter, Apple's Services revenue hit a new all-time high, with revenue of $19.5 billion, which was up 23% year over year. I expect that the addition of new services over time and the growing usage of existing services will allow Apple to grow its Services revenue meaningfully over the coming years.Apple also seeks to expand in other areas. This includes Apple's Health ventures, as well as the Apple Car project. In both cases, Apple addresses a large market, which means that these projects could eventually move the needle very meaningfully for Apple. At least in the very near term, those will not be relevant growth drivers, however.Some projections see the Apple Car project add $50 billion in revenue by 2030. That sounds like quite a lot, but on a relative basis, it's not that much, to be honest. Apple has generated revenue of $380 billion over the last year, thus the Apple Car business would add around 13% to that. If that were to happen during a single year, that would be outstanding, of course. But if it happens over roughly ten years, then the annualized growth boost is relatively slim, at just 1%-2%. When Apple's iPhone sales started to soar, the company generated year-over-year revenue growth rates of 50% and more during some quarters. The Apple Car project, even if successful, will not replicate that. The law of large numbers dictates that growing at a high relative growth rate becomes harder the larger a company gets. And with sales in the $380 billion a year area, Apple is very large already, which means that even successful product introductions will almost certainly not allow Apple to deliver another 50%+ revenue gain in the future, ever.Still, between growth from its existing businesses and the introduction of new products over time, Apple will continue to deliver reasonable business growth over the years. Analysts are currently predicting a revenue growth rate of 7% a year through the next decade. My personal estimate would be slightly lower, at around 5%, but Apple may very well hit the 7% level -- which would be a strong result for a company this large, even though some of Apple's owners might be hoping for (way) stronger growth.Will The Metaverse Impact Apple?Apple also has ambitions when it comes to the Metaverse. Those haven't been broadcasted as widely as those from Meta Platforms (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), etc. But still, Apple seeks to become a major player in this future industry. Apple's CEO Tim Cook first started publicly speaking about Augmented Reality in 2017, and that's also when Apple's ARKit was introduced. There are rumors that Apple might introduce its first AR/VR headset Apple Glass as early as this year, although there are no guarantees for that, of course. Still, it seems pretty clear that Apple's expansion into this space will continue over the coming years. Apple's revenue potential is uncertain, however. Whether AR/VR tech will become big enough to move the needle in a big way seems questionable for the next couple of years at least. But even if the Metaverse impact remains relatively small for the foreseeable future, the growth in the businesses laid out above should allow Apple to grow meaningfully going forward.Where Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years?Business growth opportunities do not necessarily translate into strong equity returns. Cisco (CSCO) grew its business considerably between 2000 and 2010, as revenue rose by close to 100%. And still, Cisco's shares went down by more than 60% in that time frame, as valuation compression was even more impactful than the business growth the company experienced in that time frame. In Apple's case, total returns will be stronger, but multiple compression could still be a headwind going forward:Data by YChartsApple trades at a ~30% premium compared to the 5-year median when we look at its earnings multiple, while the premium compared to the 5-year median is ~50% when we look at Apple's enterprise value to EBITDA ratio. Clearly, Apple is significantly more expensive than it used to be in the past. When we look at the median valuations over the last ten years, the current premium is even more pronounced.If Apple manages to grow its revenue by 7% a year over the next decade, in line with what analysts are expecting, we could see earnings per share growth in the 10% range, once we account for buybacks. Those have slowed down to just 2% over the last year, but let's still assume that Apple will be able to buy back around 3% of its share count in the future. With 10% annual earnings per share growth, Apple would be a pretty fast-growing enterprise, considering its already very large size. In that scenario, earnings per share could climb from $6.15 in 2022 to around $15.90 in 2032. If Apple were to trade at 22x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $350. In this scenario, where Apple is trading in line with the 5-year median valuation, Apple would deliver annual share price gains of 7%.When we consider that the last five years have been pretty good for equities and that this will not necessarily be the case going forward, one can also make a case for a lower valuation, however. Rising interest rates could definitely result in lower valuations in future years, compared to how Apple and other equities were valued in the recent past. If Apple were to trade at 20x net profits a decade from now, the share price would be $320 in 2032, which would translate into 6% annual share price gains. If the earnings multiple drops to 18, the 2032 share price target is $286, which would result in annual share price gains of 5%. Some investors might believe that a valuation this low is highly unlikely, as AAPL is trading well above that level today. But once we consider that the 10-year median earnings multiple is even lower, at 16, a high-teens earnings multiple does not seem that unlikely after all.All in all, we can summarize that Apple's growth outlook over the coming years is solid thanks to cash cow businesses like the iPhone that allow for growth investments in other areas. Share buybacks should also allow AAPL to grow its earnings per share more quickly compared to the business growth rate. That being said, the share price might not rise that much over the coming decade. Depending on circumstances such as market sentiment, interest rates, etc. a share price in the $280 to $350 range seems realistic, I believe. That would translate into annual share price gains of 5%-7%.Is AAPL Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?Apple is an excellent company, and it has been a great investment in the past. But the fact that Apple has delivered outstanding returns over the last five or ten years does not mean that this will repeat. Shares were cheap a decade ago, and they are trading at a huge premium compared to the historic valuation today. To me, it seems realistic that Apple will deliver mid-to-high single-digits annual returns going forward. That's far from bad, but I do not believe that this makes Apple a Buy today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":316,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9084460789,"gmtCreate":1650902226766,"gmtModify":1676534812359,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Happy]&nbsp;","listText":"[Happy]&nbsp;","text":"[Happy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9084460789","repostId":"2230143849","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2230143849","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":1650899026,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2230143849?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-04-25 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GM, Ford Steer into the Headwinds of Inflation, Rising Rates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2230143849","media":"Reuters","summary":"DETROIT, April 25 (Reuters) - General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co will report first-quarter results ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>DETROIT, April 25 (Reuters) - General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co will report first-quarter results this week in an environment that has become more hostile than executives projected when they last faced investors in January.</p><p>The far-reaching economic impact of the war in Ukraine, grinding supply-chain disruptions, inflation and rising U.S. interest rates all pose a threat to forecasts made by the two Detroit automakers in January.</p><p>Shares of both companies are down sharply since January.

Ford will officially launch regular production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup on Tuesday.Supply-chain disruptions are slowing vehicle production for both companies. During 2021, higher prices offset much of the financial hit from lost sales volume. But rising interest costs will make it harder for consumers to keep paying more.GM's deliveries in China, its largest market, fell 21% during the first quarter. In the United States, GM's sales for the first quarter fell by 20%. Ford's U.S. sales fell by 17% in the first quarter compared with a year ago.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":286,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9036172172,"gmtCreate":1647036211821,"gmtModify":1676534188854,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tough times&nbsp;[Sad]&nbsp;","listText":"Tough times&nbsp;[Sad]&nbsp;","text":"Tough times [Sad]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9036172172","repostId":"1101658670","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1101658670","pubTimestamp":1647011670,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1101658670?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-11 23:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is the Stock Market Correction Over?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1101658670","media":"YahooFinance","summary":"History shows we could be nearing the end of thestock market's 2022 correction.\"The current correction in stocks is overdue: we have not had a 10%+ S&P 500 correction since the quick bear market of Ma","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>History shows we could be nearing the end of the stock market&#39;s 2022 correction.</p><p>&#34;The current correction in stocks is overdue: we have not had a 10%+ S&amp;P 500 correction since the quick bear market of March 2020. 10%+ corrections have occurred once per year on average since 1930, and have lasted on average 54 trading days before lifting more than 10% from the trough (since January 3, the market has dropped 13% as of Wednesday&#39;s low and Thursday is the 45th trading day),&#34; pointed out Bank of America strategist Savita Subramanian in a new note.</p><p>Despite the compelling history lesson (which suggests we are nine sessions away from a short-term market bottom), there is still a lot coming at investors that could easily take stocks into a bear market.</p><p>Brent crude oil prices traded around $112 a barrel Thursday as traders continued to digest the Biden administration&#39;s ban of imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal in response to the country&#39;s war on Ukraine.</p><p>Prices are off their highs of nearly $139 a barrel on optimism U.S. oil majors such as Exxon and Chevron will produce more to make up for any lost Russian output.</p><p>Oil prices have surged roughly 25% since Ukrainian war.</p><p>Prices at U.S. gas pumps have skyrocketed above $4 a gallon on average,notes AAA.

Other complicating factors are restructuring costs and asset sales at Citigroup and Wells Fargo.</p><p>Goldman Sachs Group Inc and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>, meanwhile, are expected to report fourth-quarter profit declines of about 7% and 2%, respectively, as revenue from fixed-income trading income dipped from exceptional levels.</p><p>Broadly speaking, however, the picture is likely to be positive and analysts anticipate that bank executives will sound an optimistic note on the outlook for core earnings.</p><p>Operating profits are expected to rise as the continued economic recovery boosted loan growth and as yields from banks&#39; Treasury securities edged up, or at least held steady, during the quarter.</p><p>&#34;If investors look under the hood, there is much good to be seen,&#34; Odeon Capital Group analyst Dick Bove wrote in note on Thursday.</p><p>Overall, core profits for big banks will be up about 6% on average after stripping out loan loss provisions, taxes and unusual items, Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden estimated.</p><p>More consumers and businesses returned to their banks for credit during the fourth quarter after being propped up last year by government stimulus programs, analysts said.</p><p>Core loan balances at banks increased about 4% in the fourth quarter, the fastest growth in nearly two years, according to estimates by Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O&#39;Connor, based on Fed data through Dec. 22. That strength came from both consumer credit card and business lending, he wrote in a note.</p><p>The quarter also offered a taste of the higher net interest income that could come as Treasury yields rise in 2022, according to Gerard Cassidy of RBC Capital Markets.</p><p>The difference in average daily yields between shorter- and longer-term government securities, known as the yield curve, increased slightly during the quarter.</p><p>Betting on these positive trends, investors pushed the KBW Bank Index up 35% in 2021, easily beating the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 27% gain.</p><p>&#34;A late pick-up in loan growth in 4Q, coupled with a recent rise in interest rates bode well for bank (guidance) on net interest income in 1Q22 and for the full year,&#34; wrote O&#39;Connor.</p><p>With the economic outlook uncertain due to inflation and the Omicron COVID-19 variant, however, some investors are cautious on buying more bank stocks.</p><p>Doubts are growing about the Fed&#39;s ability to maintain the economic recovery on which lending growth relies after the central bank last week released minutes from its latest policy meeting that showed officials might raise interest rates sooner than expected to slow inflation.</p><p>Jason Ware, chief investment officer for Albion Financial Group, said he is evaluating whether to buy more bank stocks but is hesitant, partly due to caution about whether higher yields are sustainable.</p><p>He&#39;s mindful, too, he added, of history suggesting that &#34;bank stocks do better going into rate hikes than they do during rate hikes.&#34;</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1612507957220","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Other complicating factors are restructuring costs and asset sales at Citigroup and Wells Fargo.Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Morgan Stanley, meanwhile, are expected to report fourth-quarter profit declines of about 7% and 2%, respectively, as revenue from fixed-income trading income dipped from exceptional levels.Broadly speaking, however, the picture is likely to be positive and analysts anticipate that bank executives will sound an optimistic note on the outlook for core earnings.Operating profits are expected to rise as the continued economic recovery boosted loan growth and as yields from banks' Treasury securities edged up, or at least held steady, during the quarter.\"If investors look under the hood, there is much good to be seen,\" Odeon Capital Group analyst Dick Bove wrote in note on Thursday.Overall, core profits for big banks will be up about 6% on average after stripping out loan loss provisions, taxes and unusual items, Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden estimated.More consumers and businesses returned to their banks for credit during the fourth quarter after being propped up last year by government stimulus programs, analysts said.Core loan balances at banks increased about 4% in the fourth quarter, the fastest growth in nearly two years, according to estimates by Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor, based on Fed data through Dec. 22. That strength came from both consumer credit card and business lending, he wrote in a note.The quarter also offered a taste of the higher net interest income that could come as Treasury yields rise in 2022, according to Gerard Cassidy of RBC Capital Markets.The difference in average daily yields between shorter- and longer-term government securities, known as the yield curve, increased slightly during the quarter.Betting on these positive trends, investors pushed the KBW Bank Index up 35% in 2021, easily beating the S&P 500's 27% gain.\"A late pick-up in loan growth in 4Q, coupled with a recent rise in interest rates bode well for bank (guidance) on net interest income in 1Q22 and for the full year,\" wrote O'Connor.With the economic outlook uncertain due to inflation and the Omicron COVID-19 variant, however, some investors are cautious on buying more bank stocks.Doubts are growing about the Fed's ability to maintain the economic recovery on which lending growth relies after the central bank last week released minutes from its latest policy meeting that showed officials might raise interest rates sooner than expected to slow inflation.Jason Ware, chief investment officer for Albion Financial Group, said he is evaluating whether to buy more bank stocks but is hesitant, partly due to caution about whether higher yields are sustainable.He's mindful, too, he added, of history suggesting that \"bank stocks do better going into rate hikes than they do during rate hikes.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":436,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161158140,"gmtCreate":1623913063480,"gmtModify":1703823352817,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment pls&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161158140","repostId":"2143379379","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143379379","pubTimestamp":1623893744,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2143379379?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-17 09:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These 10 Stocks Make Up 85% of Warren Buffett's Portfolio","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143379379","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Diversification isn't necessary if you know what you're doing, according to the Oracle of Omaha.","content":"<p>If you've ever wondered why <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett's name gets brought up so much on Wall Street, it's because of his impressive investing track record.

Apple: $115.6 billion</h2>\n<p>Tech kingpin <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) makes up about 38% of Warren Buffett's portfolio by itself and has been dubbed \"Berkshire's third business\" by the Oracle of Omaha. Apple offers some of the strongest branding in the world, is the clear leader in smartphones in the U.S., and has been pivoting to higher-margin services under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. Though iPhone sales remain Apple's top product, services becoming a larger percentage of total sales will help remove the revenue lumpiness associated with new product launches.</p>\n<h2>2. Bank of America: $43.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Bank stocks have long been Buffett's favorite place to put Berkshire's money work. <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) is Berkshire's unquestioned largest bank holding, with more than 14% of invested assets. Bank of America has done an excellent job of controlling its noninterest expenses by consolidating branches and emphasizing digital banking. It's also in line to benefit more than any other money-center bank from an eventual rise in interest rates.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed3e6a16841306014bf0cfc3b1697b23\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a>.</span></p>\n<h2>3. American Express: $24.9 billion</h2>\n<p>Payment processor and lender <b>American Express</b> (NYSE:AXP) is Buffett's third-largest and third-longest-held stock. After 28 years of holding AmEx, Berkshire Hathaway's position has grown to almost $25 billion in value. This is a cyclical company that benefits from long periods of economic expansion, as well as its ability to attract affluent clientele. These well-to-do clients are less likely to change their spending habits when economic hiccups arise, which often means less worry about credit delinquencies for AmEx.</p>\n<h2>4. Coca-Cola: $22.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Speaking of long-tenured holdings, beverage behemoth <b>Coca-Cola</b> (NYSE:KO) is the longest-held stock in Buffett's portfolio (33 years). Coca-Cola operates in all but two countries worldwide (North Korea and Cuba) and has more than 20 brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Thanks to its top-notch marketing team, it's also the best-known consumer goods brand. Coke has holiday tie-ins, has allied itself with well-known brand ambassadors, and is embracing digital advertising and social media as a way to get its message to a younger generation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc21d6aabfd53f63ded95ae16cbd64e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"468\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>5. Kraft Heinz: $14.1 billion</h2>\n<p>There's little question that <b>Kraft Heinz</b> (NASDAQ:KHC) is the oddball holding in Buffett's top 10. That's because Buffett admits to Heinz overpaying for Kraft Foods, and the combined company largely underperforming in recent years. This includes a greater than $15 billion goodwill writedown in 2019. While the pandemic has helped boost demand for packaged foods, Kraft Heinz's balance sheet is still bogged down by high debt levels and goodwill. In short, Berkshire Hathaway is sort of stuck with its 325.6 million shares.</p>\n<h2>6. Verizon Communications: $9.1 billion</h2>\n<p>Telecommunications giant <b>Verizon</b> (NYSE:VZ) is a fairly recent addition to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, although it's been bought hand over fist in the previous two quarters by Buffett and his team. The lure of Verizon is likely its 4.4% dividend yield, which is arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the safest high-yield payouts on the planet. What's more, Verizon should benefit immensely from the rollout of 5G infrastructure. It's been a decade since the last major upgrade to download speeds, which suggests that a multiyear tech upgrade cycle will lead to higher-margin data consumption.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7343c3ce7330b86321a8ec9384d4baea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>7. U.S. Bancorp: $8.7 billion</h2>\n<p>Next to BofA, <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is Buffett's favorite bank stock. It's a company that regularly trades at a premium to its book value -- and for good reason. U.S. Bancorp has seen its users embrace technology, with the percentage of consumer loans completed digitally skyrocketing over the past two years. Being able to consolidate its physical branches, while also avoiding riskier derivative investments that have gotten U.S. money-center banks in trouble, has helped U.S. Bancorp to some of the highest return on assets among big banks.</p>\n<h2>8. Moody's: $8.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Credit agency and analytics company <b>Moody's</b> (NYSE:MCO) is yet another top-10 holding that's been held for longer than two decades. With an initial cost basis of just over $10, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an unrealized gain of better than 3,300% -- and this isn't accounting for dividends. Historically low lending rates have kept Moody's credit rating segment busy, while volatile trading markets are boosting demand for Moody's analytics. It's hard to envision Buffett ever selling this stake.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8abdae403dddfa42107e06ea5bfddf39\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>9. BYD: $6.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Back in 2008, Buffett acquired 225 million shares of China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer <b>BYD</b> (OTC:BYDDY)&nbsp;for $1.03 a share (it closed this past week at $27.65 a share). In March, BYD sold 16,301 EVs, which is more than higher-profile competitors <b>NIO</b>&nbsp;and <b>XPeng</b>&nbsp;delivered on a combined basis in the same month. With the Society of Automotive Engineers of China forecasting that half of all new vehicles sales in 2035 will be powered by alternative energy, BYD is in pole position to disrupt the largest auto market in the world.</p>\n<h2>10. DaVita: $4.4 billion</h2>\n<p>Rounding out the top 10 is kidney dialysis services company <b>DaVita</b> (NYSE:DVA). Buffett's fascination with the company is likely a numbers play. Over time, an aging U.S. population is going to become more reliant on kidney dialysis services for maintenance purposes. As the clear leader in providing these services, DaVita should see a steady uptick in demand and reimbursement for its services. This patient long-term thesis perfectly embodies the Buffett investing ethos.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>These 10 Stocks Make Up 85% of Warren Buffett's Portfolio</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\">\nThese 10 Stocks Make Up 85% of Warren Buffett's Portfolio\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-17 09:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/16/10-stocks-make-up-85-of-warren-buffetts-portfolio/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you've ever wondered why Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett's name gets brought up so much on Wall Street, it's because of his impressive investing track record.

The war in Ukraine has reportedly taken energy pipelines offline, contributing to higher energy costs and inflation. So there are very real reasons to be concerned. The question is,<i>&#34;is the stock market one of these reasons?&#34;</i></p><p>Going by history, no. Although the flash point moments in war do tend to be correlated with brief selloffs, stocks recover from these events quickly. There was only one case in the last 100 years in which a war was correlated with a long-term decline in stock prices but, as you&#39;re about to see, the war was not likely what caused stocks to go down that time. Generally speaking, wars can coincide with panic selling, but it doesn&#39;t last long. Given this, it would be foolhardy to sell your stocks right now because of the situation in Eastern Europe.</p><p><b>Wars and Stocks: the Correlation</b></p><p>If we look at historical market data, we can see that the very early moments of wars do tend to be correlated with stock market selloffs. A recentFortune article reviewed five major conflict situations and how they impacted stocks. It concluded that war-related stock market dips do occur, but tend to be short lived. The examples given are:</p><ul><li><p>World War 1: the Dow fell 30%, then was closed for six months, then surged 88% in 1915.</p></li><li><p>World War 2: 2.9% drawdown on the morning of the Pearl Harbor attack. Losses erased within a month.</p></li><li><p>Cuban Missile Crisis: tiny 1.2% selloff followed by a 10% gain for the remainder of the year.</p></li><li><p>9/11: 15% selloff within days of the attack. The market didn&#39;t find a bottom this time until 2002. It then went on to enter a bull market that lasted until 2008.</p></li><li><p>U.S. invading Iraq: stocks jumped 2.3% on the day of the invasion and ended the year up 30%.</p></li></ul><p>I&#39;ve included a chart below, borrowed from Trading Economics, that shows the approximate dates of the events above (except World War 1). Looking at it visually, you can see that all of these war-related events coincided with near term lows, but were followed by long-term gains. The one exception is 9/11: it took stocks nearly a year to find a bottom after that one. However, in that particular case, the long-term downtrend was not actually caused by the attack, as I&#39;ll explain shortly.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76d1ac70f5e16bcef0d0abacea19479d\" tg-width=\"816\" tg-height=\"517\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Trading Economics</span></p><p>As you can see, 9/11 occurred about halfway through a bear market that began in 2000 and ended in 2002. It was the one &#34;war&#34; related event of the five mentioned in Fortune that was followed by prolonged bearishness. However, it was also the one where there was a lot more than conflict contributing to the selloff. The 9/11 crash occurred about halfway through the Dotcom bubble burst. The bear market of the time was caused by the rapid collapse in prices of high flying tech stocks, some of which went bankrupt and were delisted. Notable examples included:</p><ul><li><p>Pets.com (went bankrupt).</p></li><li><p>Priceline (acquired after falling 94%).</p></li><li><p>Garden.com (shut down after falling to 9 cents a share).</p></li></ul><p>All of these stocks went bust long before 9/11 was part of the conversation. Therefore, it&#39;s hard to say how much of the losses in the 2000-2002 period were due to the bubble collapsing, and how much were due to 9/11. The 2000 bubble collapsed mainly due to valuation concerns, companies experiencing financial strain, and a series of interest rate hikes in1999 and 2000. At the peak, the NASDAQ had a 175 P/E ratio. These factors probably contributed to the 2000-2002 bear market more than any conflict did.</p><p>If we take the post-9/11 selloff without the historical context, then it took the markets a little under a year to recover from the 15% drawdown. That&#39;s not too bad, all things considered. Of course, the markets took much longer to get back to the highs set in 2000. The S&amp;P 500 took six years to get back to the previous top, the NASDAQ a full 15! So the bear market of 2000-2002 was quite long, and the recovery from it was even longer. But again, most of it took place long before 9/11. The losses incurred in the immediate aftermath of that event reversed in less than a year.</p><p><b>Why Isn&#39;t War Bad For Stocks?</b></p><p>Having established that war has not historically been bad for the stock market, the next logical question to ask is, &#34;why?&#34; War is certainly among the most destructive mass-scale activities human beings participate in. Lives are lost, infrastructure is destroyed, people are displaced, and the list just goes on and on. It certainly seems like wars destroy a lot of value. Why, then, do stocks generally go up when they are happening?</p><p>First, it helps to understand how broad the stock market really is.</p><p>To begin with just the U.S., the Wilshire 5000 index consists of 3,500 stocks. It is generally taken as equivalent to the total U.S. stock market. It may exclude some OTC stocks, but it is a pretty good proxy for U.S. listed securities.</p><p>Looking abroad, there are even more stocks to choose from. The OECD says that there are41,000 listed equities globally, and the number rises every year.</p><p>What all of this means is that the universe of stocks is very large. It follows logically from this that different stocks will respond to armed conflict in different ways. While you might find some companies out there that lose money because of armed conflict, you&#39;ll find others that won&#39;t. Some companies will inevitably do just fine. Out of respect for the lives in jeopardy in Eastern Europe right now, I will avoid any talk of arms dealers, defense contractors and other &#34;war beneficiary&#34; stocks. But I will draw your attention to one major industry that serves as a perfect illustration of how companies can thrive during wars:</p><p><b>Energy</b></p><p>As you might be aware, the Russia/Ukraine war has severely disrupted global energy supplies. Russia&#39;s Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been suspended, pipelines in Ukraine have been knocked out, and Western energy companies have withdrawn from Russia. Without a doubt, there are Russian energy companies that could lose a lot of money over this.<b>Gazprom</b>(OTCPK:OGZPY), for example, is heavily invested in the now suspended Nord Stream 2. Its stock had fallen 35% for the year before trading was suspended on February 25th. That&#39;s noteworthy because energy stocks as a whole rose in the same period.</p><p>So, Russian energy stocks are in a bad place right now.</p><p>But remember:</p><p><i>It&#39;s a big world out there.</i></p><p>All of the oil that&#39;s not flowing because of the Russia/Ukraine conflict has to be supplied by someone else. And because of the supply shock, that &#34;someone else&#34; is going to collect higher prices on the oil they sell. When supply decreases but demand is unchanged, prices rise. And right now, the global supply of oil is being reduced.</p><p>There are many companies that can thrive in such an environment. If you look at a Canadian energy company like <b>Suncor Energy</b>(SU), for example, it is about as insulated from the Russia/Ukraine situation as you can imagine. It makes money by selling gasoline to Canadians and by exporting crude oil to Americans. None of this is in any way threatened by the situation in Eastern Europe. Yet oil prices are rising worldwide, even in regions that are not being directly impacted by the conflict. Gasoline prices are rising right along side them. All of this means that Suncor gets to charge higher prices for its products than it did before. That results in higher earnings, as we saw the fourth quarter. In Q4, Suncor&#39;s funds from operations (FFO)grew 157%year-over-year. Net income and operating income swung from losses to profits. That was all thanks to oil prices rising year-over-year. Today, oil prices are even higher than they were in Q4, having set new 7 year highs. So Suncor should do even better in Q1.</p><p>What this example illustrates is the fact that equities can respond to crises in surprising ways. Sure, some are damaged by pandemonium, but others can do just fine. Overall, the presence of disorder in the world shouldn&#39;t affect your outlook. As history shows, it has little effect on the markets.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Fear, Panic And War Are Bad Reasons To Sell Stocks</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nFear, Panic And War Are Bad Reasons To Sell Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-02 11:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMany people are concerned that the war in Ukraine will damage their portfolios.It is natural to be worried during scary situations, but history shows that times like now are poor times to sell....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.thestreet.com/apple/news/how-important-is-russia-to-apples-business","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1162614571","content_text":"SummaryMany people are concerned that the war in Ukraine will damage their portfolios.It is natural to be worried during scary situations, but history shows that times like now are poor times to sell.Generally speaking, stock market declines due to disaster scenarios are very short lived.In this article, I will make the case that many stocks (particularly energy stocks) will do just fine in this environment.The world is a scary place right now.

After skyrocketing during the initial stages of the coronavirus pandemic, concerns about larger-than-expected losses tied to its Livongo Health acquisition, as well as worries about slowing growth in an eventual post-pandemic world, pushed shares more than 70% below their all-time high.</p><p>However, investors with time on their side can buy Teladoc Health now and take pride in owning a leading innovator in personalized care.</p><p>The easiest way to tell that that telemedicine is here to stay is to look at Teladoc&#39;s sales growth prior to the pandemic. In the seven years leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, the company averaged annual sales growth of 74%. That&#39;s not a year or two of simply being in the right place at the right time. Sales growth this consistent signals a sustained shift in how treatment is being administered in the U.S.</p><p>The great thing about telemedicine is that it provides benefits up and down the treatment chain. It&#39;s almost always more convenient for patients, and it can allow physicians easier access to chronically ill patients. This ease of access should result in improved patient outcomes and lower costs for health insurance companies. The latter is particularly important, as it could increase the likelihood that insurers will push for increased telehealth adoption in the years that lie ahead.</p><p>What&#39;s more, the higher costs associated with Teladoc&#39;s buyout of leading applied health signals company Livongo Health won&#39;t carry over into its 2022 financial results. This means investors can focus on what&#39;s important -- i.e., Livongo&#39;s efforts to enroll more chronic-care members in its service.</p><p>Teladoc has the solutions and innovation to be one of the fastest-growing healthcare stocks this decade.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fbusiness-meeting-tablets-laptops-graphs-charts-advertising-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>PubMatic</h2><p>A small-cap growth stock with large-cap aspirations that could realistically 10x investors&#39; money by the turn of the decade is <b>PubMatic</b> (NASDAQ:PUBM).</p><p>PubMatic operates as a cloud-based, sell-side programmatic ad platform. In simple terms, this means PubMatic&#39;s solutions handle the optimization of ad placement for its clients, the publishers selling their display space. While publishers do offer some level of input, such as the minimum price they&#39;d be willing to accept for their display space, it&#39;s PubMatic&#39;s programmatic ad platform that handles everything else.</p><p>What makes PubMatic such a no-brainer buy over the long term is the undeniable shift of advertising dollars to digital platforms. According to the company, global digital ad spend is expected to grow by an annual rate of 10% through 2024, with respective compound annual growth rates of 11%, 17%, and 11% for mobile, video, and connected TV (CTV)/over-the-top programmatic ads through mid-decade.</p><p>However, PubMatic&#39;s growth rate has consistently more than doubled industrywide estimates. In the third quarter alone, mobile and omnichannel video, which includes CTV, grew by 64% from the year-ago period. This digital omnichannel ad growth is precisely why PubMatic has reported four consecutive quarters of organic growth of at least 50%.</p><p>With the shift to digital ad spending picking up steam, PubMatic looks to be the best name to own in the programmatic ad space.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fa-key-unlocking-blockchain-digital-id-security-hacker-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Ping Identity Holdings</h2><p>Another fast-paced small-cap stock with the ability to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030 is cybersecurity company <b>Ping Identity</b> (NYSE:PING).</p><p>Cybersecurity is what I believe will be the safest sustainable double-digit growth trend throughout the decade. With more businesses than ever moving their data into the cloud during the pandemic, demand for third-party solutions to safeguard this information has skyrocketed. Since hackers and robots don&#39;t take a day off, the solutions provided by Ping Identity and its peers have effectively become basic-need services.</p><p>As its name implies, Ping&#39;s cloud-based and artificial intelligence-driven platform is primarily focused on identity verification. It&#39;s particularly effective when layered with on-premises solutions to assist with continuous verifications, risk assessment, and authorization (all areas where on-premises solutions may come up short).</p><p>What makes Ping Identity such an incredible deal is the company&#39;s temporary underperformance during the initial stages of the pandemic. The uncertainty of the pandemic led some of its customers to choose shorter time frames for their term-based licenses in 2020. While that was bad news for Ping&#39;s short-term revenue growth, it didn&#39;t slow the company&#39;s annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth, which has averaged in the mid-to-high teens. Since nearly all of Ping&#39;s revenue is derived from subscriptions, ARR is a much better indicator of Ping&#39;s overall health.</p><p>Ping Identity is profitable and steadily shifting clients to its high-margin software-as-a-service cybersecurity solutions over time. That&#39;s a recipe for success.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F660582%2Fwoman-testing-server-data-center-network-wireless-iot-business-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Fastly</h2><p>A fourth fast-growing company that can turn $100,000 into $1 million for investors by 2030 is edge cloud computing stock <b>Fastly</b> (NYSE:FSLY). The company is perhaps best known for being a content delivery network (i.e., it expedites the delivery of content to end users while maintaining/bolstering network security).</p><p>Similar to Teladoc, Fastly was creamed after the mid-February 2021 peak in growth stocks. Wall Street has been concerned with Fastly&#39;s wider-than-expected losses tied to higher head count and increased marketing expenses. Additionally, Fastly faced a backlash in June after a brief outage on its network disrupted service for a number of popular clients.</p><p>Although an outage isn&#39;t good news, this temporary disruption is now in the rearview mirror. More importantly, the outage hasn&#39;t cost Fastly its core clients. Third-quarter operating data showed sequential increases in enterprise customer count, average enterprise customer spend, and net retention rates.</p><p>Fastly&#39;s allure also has to do with its potential role in the metaverse. The metaverse is the next iteration of the internet, designed to let users interact with 3D virtual environments. One of the biggest challenges of the metaverse will be reducing latency and eliminating any lag following decisions or movements made in virtual worlds.

It took less than 17 months for the broad-based S&P 500 to double from its bear market low. Furthermore, the widely followed index came close to tripling its long-term average annual return in 2021.Despite this incredible outperformance, amazing deals remain. Patient investors who buy into innovative companies with clear-cut competitive advantages have a real chance to see their initial investment compound many times over.If you have cash ready to invest and are willing to let time be your ally, the following four stocks all have the tools to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030.Image source: Getty Images.Teladoc HealthThere's no sugarcoating it: telehealth giant Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC) was one of 2021's biggest disappointments. After skyrocketing during the initial stages of the coronavirus pandemic, concerns about larger-than-expected losses tied to its Livongo Health acquisition, as well as worries about slowing growth in an eventual post-pandemic world, pushed shares more than 70% below their all-time high.However, investors with time on their side can buy Teladoc Health now and take pride in owning a leading innovator in personalized care.The easiest way to tell that that telemedicine is here to stay is to look at Teladoc's sales growth prior to the pandemic. In the seven years leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, the company averaged annual sales growth of 74%. That's not a year or two of simply being in the right place at the right time. Sales growth this consistent signals a sustained shift in how treatment is being administered in the U.S.The great thing about telemedicine is that it provides benefits up and down the treatment chain. It's almost always more convenient for patients, and it can allow physicians easier access to chronically ill patients. This ease of access should result in improved patient outcomes and lower costs for health insurance companies. The latter is particularly important, as it could increase the likelihood that insurers will push for increased telehealth adoption in the years that lie ahead.What's more, the higher costs associated with Teladoc's buyout of leading applied health signals company Livongo Health won't carry over into its 2022 financial results. This means investors can focus on what's important -- i.e., Livongo's efforts to enroll more chronic-care members in its service.Teladoc has the solutions and innovation to be one of the fastest-growing healthcare stocks this decade.Image source: Getty Images.PubMaticA small-cap growth stock with large-cap aspirations that could realistically 10x investors' money by the turn of the decade is PubMatic (NASDAQ:PUBM).PubMatic operates as a cloud-based, sell-side programmatic ad platform. In simple terms, this means PubMatic's solutions handle the optimization of ad placement for its clients, the publishers selling their display space. While publishers do offer some level of input, such as the minimum price they'd be willing to accept for their display space, it's PubMatic's programmatic ad platform that handles everything else.What makes PubMatic such a no-brainer buy over the long term is the undeniable shift of advertising dollars to digital platforms. According to the company, global digital ad spend is expected to grow by an annual rate of 10% through 2024, with respective compound annual growth rates of 11%, 17%, and 11% for mobile, video, and connected TV (CTV)/over-the-top programmatic ads through mid-decade.However, PubMatic's growth rate has consistently more than doubled industrywide estimates. In the third quarter alone, mobile and omnichannel video, which includes CTV, grew by 64% from the year-ago period. This digital omnichannel ad growth is precisely why PubMatic has reported four consecutive quarters of organic growth of at least 50%.With the shift to digital ad spending picking up steam, PubMatic looks to be the best name to own in the programmatic ad space.Image source: Getty Images.Ping Identity HoldingsAnother fast-paced small-cap stock with the ability to turn $100,000 into $1 million by 2030 is cybersecurity company Ping Identity (NYSE:PING).Cybersecurity is what I believe will be the safest sustainable double-digit growth trend throughout the decade. With more businesses than ever moving their data into the cloud during the pandemic, demand for third-party solutions to safeguard this information has skyrocketed. Since hackers and robots don't take a day off, the solutions provided by Ping Identity and its peers have effectively become basic-need services.As its name implies, Ping's cloud-based and artificial intelligence-driven platform is primarily focused on identity verification. It's particularly effective when layered with on-premises solutions to assist with continuous verifications, risk assessment, and authorization (all areas where on-premises solutions may come up short).What makes Ping Identity such an incredible deal is the company's temporary underperformance during the initial stages of the pandemic. The uncertainty of the pandemic led some of its customers to choose shorter time frames for their term-based licenses in 2020. While that was bad news for Ping's short-term revenue growth, it didn't slow the company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth, which has averaged in the mid-to-high teens. Since nearly all of Ping's revenue is derived from subscriptions, ARR is a much better indicator of Ping's overall health.Ping Identity is profitable and steadily shifting clients to its high-margin software-as-a-service cybersecurity solutions over time. That's a recipe for success.Image source: Getty Images.FastlyA fourth fast-growing company that can turn $100,000 into $1 million for investors by 2030 is edge cloud computing stock Fastly (NYSE:FSLY). The company is perhaps best known for being a content delivery network (i.e., it expedites the delivery of content to end users while maintaining/bolstering network security).Similar to Teladoc, Fastly was creamed after the mid-February 2021 peak in growth stocks. Wall Street has been concerned with Fastly's wider-than-expected losses tied to higher head count and increased marketing expenses. Additionally, Fastly faced a backlash in June after a brief outage on its network disrupted service for a number of popular clients.Although an outage isn't good news, this temporary disruption is now in the rearview mirror. More importantly, the outage hasn't cost Fastly its core clients. Third-quarter operating data showed sequential increases in enterprise customer count, average enterprise customer spend, and net retention rates.Fastly's allure also has to do with its potential role in the metaverse. The metaverse is the next iteration of the internet, designed to let users interact with 3D virtual environments. One of the biggest challenges of the metaverse will be reducing latency and eliminating any lag following decisions or movements made in virtual worlds. Fastly's network should be leaned on heavily as the metaverse takes shape in the years to come.With an adjusted gross margin that's consistently come in between 57% and 62%, Fastly is a good bet to net patient investors a whopper of a return over the long run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":228,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030738956,"gmtCreate":1645804681281,"gmtModify":1676534066237,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9030738956","repostId":"2214974048","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2214974048","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1645802130,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2214974048?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-25 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stock Market Stages Epic Turnaround after Russia Invaded Ukraine.

The U.S. and most of the international community declared the move an invasion and leveled further sanctions against, Moscow, including fresh sanctions from the U.S., including those on Russian banks, the country's elites and its largest state-owned enterprises.\"Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war, and now he and his country will bear the consequences,\" President Biden said during a speech at the White House Thursday afternoon.Market participants, however, may have taken solace in the fact that Biden hasn't yet booted Russia out of the SWIFT payment network. SWIFT, which stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, is a payments-related messaging service that helps banks world-wide execute financial transactions.Although, such a move may come, keeping Russia in the Swift network may avoid hurting other members of the network that, which could have hurt some economies in Europe.Buy the dip?Investors also could be bargain hunting, or buying the dip, which is a risky proposition because the developments in Kyiv aren't yet clear and could evolve into Moscow targeting neighboring countries, if he is bent on restoring Soviet-era bloc in Eastern Europe.\"It is a pretty remarkable turnaround through,\" Randy Frederick, managing director at Schwab Center for Financial Research, told MarketWatch.Schwab's Liz Ann Sonders told CNBC that she doesn't think the market is out of the woods but believed that algorithmic, or computer-driven, trading may have contributing to the reversal. It is probably some version of \"buy the rumor sell the fact,\" she said.The technicalsInvestors might also have responded to so-called oversold conditions present in the market that ultimately gave way to a flurry of technical buying. Near midday Thursday, the Arms Index, which is a volume-weighted breadth measure, suggests there is no panic in the stock market's selloff with signs of opportunistic buying emerging even at that point.MarketWatch's Tomi Kilgore noted that earlier this week that the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, a momentum indicator that measures the magnitude of recent gains against the magnitude of recent declines, was still above its January low for the S&P 500, despite a slide into correction.He wrote that when prices make new lows but underlying technicals make higher lows is referred to as \"bullish divergence,\" and suggested a downtrend may be running out of steam.Kilgore notes that another positive sign from the RSI indicator is that it remained above what many chart watchers view as the oversold threshold of 30.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":123,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9001173404,"gmtCreate":1641203390601,"gmtModify":1676533582428,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm.","listText":"Hmm.","text":"Hmm.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9001173404","repostId":"2200403714","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2200403714","pubTimestamp":1641163785,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2200403714?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-01-03 06:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"December jobs report, Federal Reserve meeting minutes, CES: What to know this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2200403714","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Investors can expect a busy first week of 2022, laden with key economic releases out of Washington t","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Investors can expect a busy first week of 2022, laden with key economic releases out of Washington that include the highly-anticipated December jobs report and minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) latest policy-setting meeting.</p><p>It was a hectic final month of 2021 for markets, stocks rallied to new highs and the action could pour into the new year’s opening week of trading with a boost from what is known as the “January Effect” — the perception of a seasonal rise in U.S. equities during the first month of the year.</p><p>Wall Street attributes the theory to an increase in purchasing following the drop in prices that occurs in December when investors sell positions that have declined in order to take the capital loss in that calendar year&#39;s taxes.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eba49f5881708929949c30628eedc5d4\" tg-width=\"934\" tg-height=\"578\"><span>Annual GMV.

In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d5a8d0d8a6a2dcdf667a6f33c6c9771\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"702\"><span>Peers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>Even though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&amp;A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.</p>\n<p>One important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of&nbsp;823M AAC&nbsp;in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only&nbsp;100M AAC in Q2’C17&nbsp;as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b83b69b08b1f4b11a26393c8e6eead5\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Market size of community group buying in China. Data source: iiMedia Research</span></p>\n<p>Even though the expected total market size of 102B yuan by 2022 represented only about 21.5% of BABA’s FY 21 China commerce revenue, the expected rapid CAGR of 44.22% over 3 years from 2019 to 2022 cannot be missed by BABA. Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b97b2b4a8a182dc9846d8fb7e4039877\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"770\"><span>PDD profitability metrics &amp; revenue growth forecast.

More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3aadc32155b4108426a1a982e3b5b1c2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>China public cloud spending.

Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn</span></p>\n<p>BABA has a 40% share in China’s public cloud market, way ahead of its key competitors. However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate. This is especially clear when we compare China’s growth rate to the worldwide growth rate (see below) as public cloud spending worldwide is expected to grow from $145B in 2017 to $397B by 2022, that would represent a CAGR of 22.3%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06198c569504bc303c34563041dfb294\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Worldwide public cloud spending.

Source:CnTechPost; Gartner</span></p>\n<p>Therefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020. While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62a087c4b3ef7efc2c5dde813e3b959d\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"600\"><span>NTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2605c0e5ad364a7a43929fef204595c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"687\"><span>EV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>When we consider BABA's TEV / EBIT historical range, where the 3Y mean read 33.54x, BABA’s EV / Fwd EBIT trend certainly imply a hugely undervalued stock as BABA is still expected to grow its revenue and operating profits rapidly. However, as we wanted to obtain greater clarity over how its counterparts are also valued, we thought it would be useful if we value BABA’s EBIT over a set of benchmark companies that is presented below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d27873e676dfb23c98d4a69aa5861e02\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"1117\"><span>Peers EV / EBIT Valuations. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>By using a blend of historical and forward EBIT, we could see that BABA’s EV / EBIT really looks undervalued when compared to the median value of the set of observed values from the benchmark companies. We derived a fair value range for BABA of $294.98 at the midpoint of the range, that represented a potential upside of 40.5% based on the current stock price of $210.</p>\n<p><b>Risks to Assumptions</b></p>\n<p>Now, it’s obviously baffling to watch how Mr. Market has decided to discount BABA to such an extent as if the company has lost all its key sources of growth, when in fact there is still so much potential upside coming from its commerce segment, the new marketplace initiatives and its growing Ali Cloud segment, among others. The main realistic reason that we identified for the stock's underperformance would simply be regulatory risk. We think investors should acknowledge that this risk is very real and at times huge Chinese companies have found themselves to be subjected to extra scrutiny (which is nothing new in fact) by the Chinese government. What’s critical here is that the Chinese government seemingly has significant clout over the behavior and actions of their tech behemoths that at times may be largely unpredictable.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.\nBABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers\nAnnual GMV. Data source: Company filings\nAnnual e-commerce revenue. Data source: Company filings\nBABA’s GMV grew from 1.68T yuan to 7.49T yuan in just a matter of 7 years, which represented a CAGR of 23.8%, a truly amazing growth rate. We also saw its GMV growth being converted into revenue growth as its China commerce revenue grew from 7.67B yuan to 473.68B yuan, at a CAGR of 51% over the last 10 years. While its international footprint remains considerably smaller, it still grew at a CAGR of 30.42% over the last 10 years, which was by no means slow.\nEven though China’s e-commerce market is expected to grow considerably slower at a CAGR of 12.4% over the next three years, from 13.8T yuan, equivalent to $2.16T in 2021 to 19.6T yuan,equivalent to $3.06T by 2024, the massive size of the market still offers tremendous upside potential for BABA and its closest competitors to grow into.\nE-commerce revenue in the U.S. Data source: Statista\nWhen we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the U.S. e-commerce market is only expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.67% from 2021 to 2025, which is significantly slower than China’s 12.4%. In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.\nPeers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nEven though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.\nOne important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of 823M AAC in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only 100M AAC in Q2’C17 as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.\nTherefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.\nMarket size of community group buying in China. Data source: iiMedia Research\nEven though the expected total market size of 102B yuan by 2022 represented only about 21.5% of BABA’s FY 21 China commerce revenue, the expected rapid CAGR of 44.22% over 3 years from 2019 to 2022 cannot be missed by BABA. Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.\nPDD profitability metrics & revenue growth forecast. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWe could observe from the above chart that PDD is expected to continue growing its revenue rapidly over the next few years, even though they are expected to normalize subsequently. More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.\nChina public cloud spending. Source:China Internet Watch; Canalys\nSize of China public cloud market. Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn\nBABA has a 40% share in China’s public cloud market, way ahead of its key competitors. However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate. This is especially clear when we compare China’s growth rate to the worldwide growth rate (see below) as public cloud spending worldwide is expected to grow from $145B in 2017 to $397B by 2022, that would represent a CAGR of 22.3%.\nWorldwide public cloud spending. Data source: Gartner\nWorldwide public cloud market share. Source:CnTechPost; Gartner\nTherefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020. While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.\nBABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling\nNTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.\nEV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWhen we consider BABA's TEV / EBIT historical range, where the 3Y mean read 33.54x, BABA’s EV / Fwd EBIT trend certainly imply a hugely undervalued stock as BABA is still expected to grow its revenue and operating profits rapidly. However, as we wanted to obtain greater clarity over how its counterparts are also valued, we thought it would be useful if we value BABA’s EBIT over a set of benchmark companies that is presented below.\nPeers EV / EBIT Valuations. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nBy using a blend of historical and forward EBIT, we could see that BABA’s EV / EBIT really looks undervalued when compared to the median value of the set of observed values from the benchmark companies. We derived a fair value range for BABA of $294.98 at the midpoint of the range, that represented a potential upside of 40.5% based on the current stock price of $210.\nRisks to Assumptions\nNow, it’s obviously baffling to watch how Mr. Market has decided to discount BABA to such an extent as if the company has lost all its key sources of growth, when in fact there is still so much potential upside coming from its commerce segment, the new marketplace initiatives and its growing Ali Cloud segment, among others. The main realistic reason that we identified for the stock's underperformance would simply be regulatory risk. We think investors should acknowledge that this risk is very real and at times huge Chinese companies have found themselves to be subjected to extra scrutiny (which is nothing new in fact) by the Chinese government. What’s critical here is that the Chinese government seemingly has significant clout over the behavior and actions of their tech behemoths that at times may be largely unpredictable. The market certainly hates unpredictability and therefore they may have significantly discounted BABA as a result of that. If investors are not able to handle uncertainty with regard to potentially unpredictable regulatory actions and their aftermath, then BABA may not be appropriate for you. However, if you believe that this is just a blip in BABA’s long journey, then you would surely find BABA's valuations extremely attractive right now, coupled with a long term mindset.\nWrapping It All Up\nAlibaba has continued to deliver solid results that demonstrated the strong capability of the company to execute well. As the company continues to operate within a market with so many growth drivers that are expected to drive the company’s future growth, investors should find the current valuations highly attractive.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575040910386797","authorId":"3575040910386797","name":"trollololol","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb3709f9470a5163c6c7031ab692e8c9","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"like and reply please","text":"like and reply please","html":"like and reply please"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9039800867,"gmtCreate":1645987976210,"gmtModify":1676534079185,"author":{"id":"3582008604601169","authorId":"3582008604601169","name":"lynnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a8128e7f7be274add1e5f07ea779c0f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","listText":"[Surprised]&nbsp;","text":"[Surprised]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9039800867","repostId":"1125580913","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1125580913","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1645926503,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1125580913?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-27 09:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buffett Full Annual Letter：Apple is One of ‘Four Giants’ Driving the Conglomerate’s Value","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1125580913","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Warren Buffett released his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders on Saturday. The 91-yea","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Warren Buffett released his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders on Saturday. The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><h2>Investments</h2><p>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.</p><p>I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.</p><p>February 26, 2022</p><p>Warren E.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><h2>Investments</h2><p>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.</p><p>I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.</p><p>February 26, 2022</p><p>Warren E.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”Read the full letter here：To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.What You OwnBerkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.Surprise, SurpriseHere are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.Our Four GiantsThrough Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.InvestmentsNow let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.U.S. Treasury BillsBerkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.But $144 billion?That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.Share RepurchasesThere are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful BusinessLast year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.In all ways, Paul was a class act.* * * * * * * * * * * *Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.ThanksI taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction workingfor you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”The Annual MeetingClear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.February 26, 2022Warren E.
