Sure, you can't match their gains simply by copying every single one of their stock picks, but it can still be helpful (and fruitful) to know what they've been up to.</p><p>Consider that the billionaires, hedge funds and big-time advisories listed below have a great deal at stake. And their resources for research, as well as their intimate connections to insiders and others, can give them unique insight into their stock picks.</p><p>Studying which stocks they're chasing with their capital (or whichstocks the billionaires are selling off, for that matter) can be an edifying exercise for retail investors.</p><p>After all, there's a reason the rich get richer.</p><p><b>Here are 30 of the most recent top stock picks from the billionaire class.</b>In each case, at least one billionaire – be it a person, hedge fund or advisory – has a substantial stake and/or added to its holdings. In most cases, these stocks are owned by multiple billionaire investors and billionaire investor firms. And while several of these investments are popular blue chips, others keep a much lower profile.</p><p>Either way, the smart money isn't kidding around when it comes to these stock picks.</p><p>Prices are as of May 28. Data is courtesy of S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, WhaleWisdom.com&nbsp;and regulatory filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stocks are ranked in reverse order of their weight in the selected billionaire investor's equity portfolio.</p><p>Walmart</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$400.0 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Ray Dalio (Bridgewater Associates)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>4.3%</li></ul><p>Ordinarily, we look for stocks that account for at least 5% of a billionaire investor's portfolio before including them on this list, but Bridgewater Associates' interest in<b>Walmart</b>(WMT, $142.03) is sort of a special case.</p><p>Legendary investor Ray Dalio's massive hedge fund – it has $223 billion in assets under management (AUM) – has nearly 11% of its portfolio sitting in an S&amp;P 500 index fund. Indeed, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY), with its 0.0945% expense ratio, is Bridgewater's largest holding.</p><p>The fund's second-largest holding is<i>also</i>an ETF. The Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) accounts for 5.1% of the hedge fund's total portfolio value.</p><p>So it's something of a feather in Walmart's cap that the world's largest retailer and Dow Jones Industrial Average component happens to be tops among Dalio's actual stock picks.</p><p>Indeed, in the first quarter of 2021, Bridgewater upped its WMT stake by 16%, or 512,347 shares. The total stake of 3.6 million shares, worth $487.8 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 4.3% of Bridgewater's total portfolio value.</p><p>Note well that Dalio, whose net worth is estimated at $20.3 billion, according to Forbes, is a big fan of Dow stocks and ETFs. In addition to WMT at No. 3, Bridegwater's top 10 holdings include stakes in Procter &amp; Gamble (PG), Coca-Cola (KO) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ), as well as the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) and the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG).</p><p>Amazon.com</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$1.6 trillion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Stephen Mandel (Lone Pine Capital)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.4%</li></ul><p>Hedge-fund legend Stephen Mandel stepped back from managing investments at Lone Pine Capital a couple years back, but he remains a managing director at the firm, and it still runs very much in his image.</p><p>That's probably a good thing, given that Mandel's investing acumen allowed him to accumulate a net worth of nearly $4 billion, per Forbes.</p><p>Lone Pine – based in the hedge-fund capital of the world, Greenwich, Connecticut – lists more than $27.5 billion in managed securities. Lately, it has been putting more cash to work in big-nametechnology stocks, and few get higher accolades from Wall Street analysts than<b>Amazon.com</b>(AMZN, $3,223.07).</p><p>Indeed, analysts say AMZN is one of thebest Nasdaq stocks you can buy, giving it a high conviction consensus recommendation of Strong Buy. That's due in no small part to the fact that they expect Amazon to generate average annual earnings per share growth of almost 35% over the next three to five years – this despite the fact that the e-commerce giant is already a $1.6 trillion company.</p><p>Lone Pine upped its bet on AMZN by 87%, or 224,618 shares, in the first quarter, bringing its total holdings to 481,744 shares. That stake, which was worth $1.5 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 5.4% of Lone Pine's total portfolio value, making it fifth among the hedge fund's stock picks.</p><p>Danaher</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$182.7 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Tran Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.4%</li></ul><p>Tran Capital Management, a hedge fund based in San Rafael, California, is incrementally more bullish on the life sciences industry.</p><p>Tran, with $1.1 billion in AUM, added 2,001 shares to its stake in<b>Danaher</b>(DHR, $256.14), which makes a variety of instruments and diagnostics equipment to support medical, industrial and commercial processes.</p><p>Tran now holds a total of 267,376 shares, which were worth $60.1 million at the end of Q1.

Asset manager Vanguard, at No. 2, owns just 10.8% of HHC.</p><p>Meanwhile, HHC, at 12.1% of its portfolio, is now Pershing Square Capital's sixth-largest position.</p><p>For those keeping score at home, HHC stock has doubled over the past 52 weeks vs. a gain of about 38% for the S&amp;P 500. For the year-to-date, it's up by more than a third. That compares with the broader market's gain of about 12% so far this year.</p><p>Only three analysts cover HHC, according to S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence. One rates it at Strong Buy, while the other two say Buy.</p><p>Lowe's</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$137.7 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Two Creeks Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>12.2%</li></ul><p>Two Creeks Capital Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $2.8 billion, made a big addition to its stake in<b>Lowe's</b>(LOW, $194.83) in the first quarter – a move most analysts would regard as wise.</p><p>The nation's second-largest home improvement retailer after Home Depot (HD) benefited greatly from the work-from-home/stuck-at-home reality of pandemic life. Analysts say many of the do-it-yourself habits consumers adopted during COVID times are here to stay. Lowe's is also being aided by the ultra-tight housing market.</p><p>The Street gives LOW a consensus recommendation of Buy. Argus Research, which counts itself in the Buy camp, says Lowe's has several strong tailwinds behind it.</p><p>\"We believe that the major drivers of post-pandemic sales growth remain the same,\" writes Argus Research analyst Christopher Graja. \"There has been significant underinvestment in housing. About 70% of U.S. homes are more than 25 years old and likely in need of upgrades and repairs. Millennials are starting families.\"</p><p>Income investors know the power of Lowe's dividend over the longer haul. The Dividend Aristocrat has paid a cash distribution every quarter since going public in 1961, and that dividend has increased annually for almost 60 years.</p><p>The bullish investment thesis led Two Creeks to up its stake in this stock pick by 14%, or 132,811 shares, in Q1. The hedge fund's total stake of 1.1 million LOW shares, worth $200 million at the end of Q1, accounts for 12.2% of its portfolio, representing its third-largest holding.</p><p>Alphabet</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$1.6 trillion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Metropolis Capital</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>13.3%</li></ul><p>It should come as no surprise that hedge funds are big believers in Google parent<b>Alphabet</b>(GOOGL, $2,356,85). Metropolis Capital, a U.K.-based investor with $1.4 billion in AUM, is just one of about 225 hedge funds upping its stake in the internet giant in Q1.</p><p>Metropolis thinks highly enough of the search leader that it increased its stake by 22%, or 13,679 shares. The firm now holds a total of 74,868 shares worth $154.4 million, or 13.3% of its total portfolio, as of March 31.</p><p>Alphabet happens to be in good company at this hedge fund. GOOGL is Metropolis' second-largest stock pick after Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B).</p><p>If nothing else, Alphabet's pandemic performance in totality bolstered the case that GOOGL is not a one-trick pony. Its numerous other endeavors likewise shore up the case. For example, Alphabet is a key player in cloud-based services, and home to Nest Labs and self-driving car startup Waymo. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and virtual reality are other areas of heavy investment.</p><p>\"We continue to favor Google as a core large-cap growth holding given the strong digital advertising backdrop, continued strength from Cloud, ongoing share repurchases (with the newly authorized $50 billion program) and a reasonable valuation,\" writes Canaccord Genuity analyst Maria Ripps (Buy).</p><p>Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy. Of the 45 analysts issuing opinions on the stock tracked by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, 32 rate it at Strong Buy, 12 say Buy and one has it at Hold.</p><p>Walt Disney</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$324.6 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Kirkoswald Asset Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>16.5%</li></ul><p>Coronavirus took a huge bite out of some of<b>Walt Disney's</b>(DIS, $178.65) most important businesses: namely, its theme parks and studios. But after encouraging quarterly results, analysts say business is set to bounce back in a big way.</p><p>Disneyland and other California amusement parks have reopened with restrictions. And admissions at Florida's Disney World continue to climb.</p><p>\"With mask mandates lifted and capacity constraints loosened further, we would not be surprised to see a step change in attendance in the near future,\" writes Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Kraft (Buy).</p><p>But that's nothing compared to what DIS has on its hands in thestreaming mediawars.</p><p>Disney+ is a smashing success. The streaming platform, which launched in November 2019, has already amassed almost 100 million subscribers – a staggering rate of growth. Consider that Disney+ now has about half as many subscribers as Netflix (NFLX) – but Netflix had a roughly 12-year head start.</p><p>Kirkoswald Asset Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $4 billion, decided to get in on DIS asa recovery stock pickin Q1. It initiated a stake of 5,200 shares, worth almost $1 million, during the first three months of the year.</p><p>The new stake immediately made DIS its second-largest position among $5.8 million in managed securities.</p><p>Most of the Street would approve of Kirkoswald's investment. Analysts have a consensus Buy recommendation on this Dow stock.</p><p>Berkshire Hathaway</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$661.0 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Southeast Asset Advisors</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>16.8%</li></ul><p>If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.</p><p>It's hard to compete with Warren Buffett when it comes toasset allocation. As CEO and chairman of<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(BRK.B, $289.44), he's arguably the greatest long-term investor of all time.</p><p>So it's little wonder that so many hedge funds, large advisories and other billion-dollar-plus pools of money throw in their lots with the Oracle of Omaha.</p><p>Southeast Asset Advisors, an investment manager and hedge fund based in Thomasville, Georgia, with $1.6 billion in AUM, has been a BRK.B shareholder since 2008. Indeed, BRK.B, at 16.8% of its portfolio, is the fund's top holding.</p><p>And it's only getting bigger.</p><p>Southeast increased its stake in BRK.B by 2%, or 7,747 shares, in Q1. It now holds 365,149 shares worth $93.3 million. Only Alphabet Class C shares (GOOG) come close to the firm's BRK.B stake, accounting for 11.7% of the portfolio.</p><p>BRK.B has been an outstanding performer both in 2021 and over the past 52 weeks. The stock is up 25% for the year-to-date, essentially doubling the S&amp;P 500's gains. And over the past year? BRK.B returned 57% vs. a price increase of less than 40% for the broad-market gauge.</p><p>Only four analysts cover BRK.B stock, per S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence. Their consensus recommendation comes to Buy.</p><p>Alibaba</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$580.4 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Conifer Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>20.7%</li></ul><p>Conifer Management, a New York hedge fund with $7.7 billion in AUM, has more than a fifth of its portfolio invested in Chinese e-commerce giant<b>Alibaba</b>(BABA, $213.96).</p><p>Indeed, after upping its stake by 147%, or 884,845 shares, in Q1, BABA is Conifer's top holding. Its total stake of 1.5 million shares was worth $336.7 million at the end of the first quarter.</p><p>Conifer initiated its stake in BABA only in the final quarter of last year. To the hedge fund's credit, this stock pick is a highly defensible investment idea.</p><p>Alibaba is sometimes called the Amazon of China. There are important differences between the two, but they do share the enviable trait of being undisputed titans ine-commerce.</p><p>And like Amazon, Alibaba has never shied away from investing heavily to both build out its existing businesses and enter new ones. As a result, BABA finds itself spreading beyond its core e-commerce business into cloud computing, digital payments and more.</p><p>It also helps that BABA and investors can now move past a $2.75 billion fine imposed by Chinese regulators for violating anti-monopoly laws.</p><p>Some analysts worry about decelerating revenue in the company's cloud services business, but the majority of the Street sees recent share-price weakness as a buying opportunity.</p><p>The consensus recommendation of 49 analysts tracked by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence comes to Strong Buy on BABA stock.</p><p>Mastercard</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$357.4 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Valley Forge Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>22.6%</li></ul><p>If Valley Forge Capital Management likes Visa – as noted above – it absolutely adores competitor<b>Mastercard</b>(MA, $360.58).</p><p>The Wayne, Pennsylvania-based hedge fund with $1.1 billion in AUM almost doubled its stake in this stock pick in the first quarter. And with more than a fifth of its portfolio tied up in the payments processor, Mastercard is Valley Forge's top holding.</p><p>The hedge fund bought another 665,544 shares, representing a 98% increase, in Q1, bringing its total holdings to 1.3 million shares. The position was worth $477.9 million as of March 31.</p><p>Valley Forge, which owns 0.14% of MA's shares outstanding, has been an investor in the company since 2016. It's a bet that appears to have done quite well. Mastercard stock's five-year total return – price appreciation plus dividends – comes to 30.8%, according to Morningstar data. That beats its sector by 5.7 percentage points and leads the broader market by 13.4 percentage points.</p><p>Like Visa, Mastercard has relentless growth in digital mobile payments and other cashless transactions at its back.</p><p>\"Mastercard is a key beneficiary of the long-term secular shift toward electronic forms of payments, and that new technology is helping accelerate the shift,\" writes William Blair analyst Robert Napoli (Outperform)</p><p>And, just like Visa, MA has a lot of fans on the Street. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy.</p><p>Facebook</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$932.1 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Altarock Partners</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>24.4%</li></ul><p>There's a strong bull case to be made for<b>Facebook</b>(FB, $328.73), the social media giant that forms a digital-ad duopoly with Google. Just ask Altarock Partners.</p><p>This hedge fund, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, with AUM of $3.1 billion, has almost a quarter of its portfolio socked away in Facebook stock. After buying another 465,800 shares, a 27% increase, in Q1, the hedge fund is sitting on 2.2 million shares worth $641.4 million as of March 31.</p><p>That makes FB Altarock's second-largest holding.</p><p>And just who is at No. 1?</p><p>None other than Google parent Alphabet, which commands 25.1% of Altarock's investment portfolio.</p><p>The hedge fund first bought FB in the fourth quarter of last year, so it's building up its position on the stock pick pretty rapidly. And well it should, if analysts are right about this name.</p><p>The Street's consensus recommendation on FB stands at Strong Buy, as analysts forecast the company to deliver truly impressive profit growth for some time.</p><p>\"We believe Facebook's share gains during the pandemic and new initiatives in e-commerce can drive many years of above-market growth,\" writes Stifel analyst John Egbert (Buy). \"We are comfortable with the potential outcomes of antitrust inquiries and believe FB shares offer investors a rare combination of growth and value relative to its peers.\"</p><p>Seagen</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$28.2 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Felix and Julian Baker (Baker Bros. Advisors)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>29.7%</li></ul><p><b>Seagen</b>(SGEN, $155.35), a biotechnology firm specializing in oncology treatments, couldn't get a bigger vote of confidence than being the top holding of Baker Bros. Advisors.</p><p>This New York-based hedge fund with $35.8 billion in AUM is led by billionaire biotech investors Julian and Felix Baker. The brothers may keep a low profile, but they're plenty famous in the world ofbiotech stocks. A series of successful investments have allowed the Bakers to build an estimated combined fortune of about $4 billion, according to Forbes.</p><p>And judging by their latest regulatory filings, the brothers have great expectations for Seagen, too. The stock pick accounts for nearly 30% of the total value of the Baker Bros.' holdings, up from 28.5% three months ago.</p><p>The increase stems in part from Baker Bros. buying another 347,745 shares in SGEN in the first quarter of 2021. The fund's total holdings of 47.6 million shares were worth more than $7 billion at the end of Q1.</p><p>The stake gives Baker Bros. ownership of 26.3% of SGEN's shares outstanding, which makes it the biotech company's largest shareholder by a wide margin. The second-largest investor – Capital Research and Management – holds only 8.6% of SGEN's shares outstanding.</p><p>The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.</p><p>TRENDING TOPICS</p><p>TRENDING ARTICLES</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>30 Top Stock Picks That Billionaires Love</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\">\n30 Top Stock Picks That Billionaires Love\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-02 11:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/30-top-stock-picks-that-billionaires-love-2021-06-01><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It's always interesting to see what billionaire investors are doing with their money.

Sure, you can't match their gains simply by copying every single one of their stock picks, but it can still be helpful (and fruitful) to know what they've been up to.Consider that the billionaires, hedge funds and big-time advisories listed below have a great deal at stake. And their resources for research, as well as their intimate connections to insiders and others, can give them unique insight into their stock picks.Studying which stocks they're chasing with their capital (or whichstocks the billionaires are selling off, for that matter) can be an edifying exercise for retail investors.After all, there's a reason the rich get richer.Here are 30 of the most recent top stock picks from the billionaire class.In each case, at least one billionaire – be it a person, hedge fund or advisory – has a substantial stake and/or added to its holdings. In most cases, these stocks are owned by multiple billionaire investors and billionaire investor firms. And while several of these investments are popular blue chips, others keep a much lower profile.Either way, the smart money isn't kidding around when it comes to these stock picks.Prices are as of May 28. Data is courtesy of S&P Global Market Intelligence, WhaleWisdom.com and regulatory filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stocks are ranked in reverse order of their weight in the selected billionaire investor's equity portfolio.WalmartMarket value:$400.0 billionBillionaire investor:Ray Dalio (Bridgewater Associates)Percent of portfolio:4.3%Ordinarily, we look for stocks that account for at least 5% of a billionaire investor's portfolio before including them on this list, but Bridgewater Associates' interest inWalmart(WMT, $142.03) is sort of a special case.Legendary investor Ray Dalio's massive hedge fund – it has $223 billion in assets under management (AUM) – has nearly 11% of its portfolio sitting in an S&P 500 index fund. Indeed, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), with its 0.0945% expense ratio, is Bridgewater's largest holding.The fund's second-largest holding isalsoan ETF. The Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) accounts for 5.1% of the hedge fund's total portfolio value.So it's something of a feather in Walmart's cap that the world's largest retailer and Dow Jones Industrial Average component happens to be tops among Dalio's actual stock picks.Indeed, in the first quarter of 2021, Bridgewater upped its WMT stake by 16%, or 512,347 shares. The total stake of 3.6 million shares, worth $487.8 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 4.3% of Bridgewater's total portfolio value.Note well that Dalio, whose net worth is estimated at $20.3 billion, according to Forbes, is a big fan of Dow stocks and ETFs. In addition to WMT at No. 3, Bridegwater's top 10 holdings include stakes in Procter & Gamble (PG), Coca-Cola (KO) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), as well as the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) and the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG).Amazon.comMarket value:$1.6 trillionBillionaire investor:Stephen Mandel (Lone Pine Capital)Percent of portfolio:5.4%Hedge-fund legend Stephen Mandel stepped back from managing investments at Lone Pine Capital a couple years back, but he remains a managing director at the firm, and it still runs very much in his image.That's probably a good thing, given that Mandel's investing acumen allowed him to accumulate a net worth of nearly $4 billion, per Forbes.Lone Pine – based in the hedge-fund capital of the world, Greenwich, Connecticut – lists more than $27.5 billion in managed securities. Lately, it has been putting more cash to work in big-nametechnology stocks, and few get higher accolades from Wall Street analysts thanAmazon.com(AMZN, $3,223.07).Indeed, analysts say AMZN is one of thebest Nasdaq stocks you can buy, giving it a high conviction consensus recommendation of Strong Buy. That's due in no small part to the fact that they expect Amazon to generate average annual earnings per share growth of almost 35% over the next three to five years – this despite the fact that the e-commerce giant is already a $1.6 trillion company.Lone Pine upped its bet on AMZN by 87%, or 224,618 shares, in the first quarter, bringing its total holdings to 481,744 shares. That stake, which was worth $1.5 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 5.4% of Lone Pine's total portfolio value, making it fifth among the hedge fund's stock picks.DanaherMarket value:$182.7 billionBillionaire investor:Tran Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.4%Tran Capital Management, a hedge fund based in San Rafael, California, is incrementally more bullish on the life sciences industry.Tran, with $1.1 billion in AUM, added 2,001 shares to its stake inDanaher(DHR, $256.14), which makes a variety of instruments and diagnostics equipment to support medical, industrial and commercial processes.Tran now holds a total of 267,376 shares, which were worth $60.1 million at the end of Q1. The DHR stake is Tran's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 5.4% of its stock portfolio value. The hedge fund has been an investor in DHR since the first quarter of 2014, though even with the latest purchase, it still currently owns just 0.04% of the company's shares outstanding.The Street is likewise bullish on this healthcare name, which stands to benefit from the pharmaceutical industry's ongoing efforts against the novel coronavirus. Indeed, analysts' consensus recommendation on DHR comes to Buy, according to S&PGlobal MarketIntelligence.\"We believe that Danaher is well positioned to help biopharma companies develop new medicines, including treatments and vaccines for COVID-19,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates DHR at Buy. \"We expect recent strong customer demand to be sustained over the remainder of 2021.\"Abbott LaboratoriesMarket value:$207.3 billionBillionaire investor:Polen Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.6%Polen Capital Management's top four stock picks are a who's who of hot-growth, mega-cap tech stocks: Facebook (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), Google-parent Alphabet's Class C shares (GOOG) and Adobe (ADBE).So it's kind of neat to see that the hedge fund's fifth-largest position is an income investor's dream.Abbott Laboratories(ABT, $116.65) is as stalwart a divided payer as they come. It's a member of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats, an index ofdividend stocks that have increased their payouts annually for at least 25 consecutive years.ABT, which manufactures a wide variety of healthcare goods, such as branded generic drugs, medical devices and nutrition and diagnostic products, has hiked its dividend for 49 years and counting. The last increase came in December: a whopping 25% improvement to 45 cents per share.Polen, a hedge fund based in Boca Raton, Florida, with AUM of more than $46 billion, has owned a stake in ABT since the third quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its position by 1%, or 220,118 shares. Polen's total of 20.7 million shares was worth $2.5 billion at the end of Q1, and accounted for 5.6% of its portfolio value.Importantly, Polen owns 1.2% of Abbott Lab's shares outstanding, putting it among the company's 15 largest investors.UnitedHealth GroupMarket value:$388.7 billionBillionaire investor:Allen Investment ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.7%UnitedHealth Group(UNH, $411.92) is a hedge-fund favorite, and Wall Street gives it high marks too.As the largest health insurer by both market value and revenue – and a member of the Dow Industrials to boot – UNH is sort of a must-have stock for institutional investors seeking broad exposure to the healthcare sector.Meanwhile, analysts' consensus recommendation on the name comes to Buy. Of the 27 analysts covering the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 16 rate UNH at Strong Buy, six say Buy, three have it at Hold and one calls it a Sell.\"With the increase in Covid-19 vaccinations, we expect medical utilization patterns to return to normal levels, while at the same time we anticipate higher utilizations resulting from missed medical visits and delayed electives,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates the stock at Strong Buy.So it's only fitting that Allen Investment Management, a New York hedge fund with $9.3 billion in AUM, upped its stake in UNH by 2%, or 21,086 shares, during the first quarter.At 5.7% of the portfolio, UNH is the fund's third-largest position, trailing only Allen stock picks Alphabet Class C shares and Facebook. The hedge fund's stake of 990,525 shares was worth $368.5 million at the end of the first quarter.Gaming and Leisure PropertiesMarket value:$10.8 billionBillionaire investor:Gates Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:6.0%Gates Capital Management is a fan of one of Wall Street pros' favorite Nasdaq stocks. The New York hedge fund with $3 billion in AUM upped its stake inGaming and Leisure Properties(GLPI, $46.36) by 35%, or more than 1 million shares, during the first quarter.Gates Capital now holds 3.9 million shares in thisreal estate investment trust (REIT)– a stake worth $165.6 million as of March 31.Analysts like this casino real estate play thanks to both a snazzy dividend yield and attractive growth prospects coming out of the pandemic. The company, whose properties include the Belle of Baton Rouge and Argosy Casino Riverside in Missouri, collected 100% of its rents in 2020.Mizuho Securities initiated coverage of Gaming and Leisure Properties at Buy in late March, citing its unique attributes in an industry set to benefit from a recovery in consumer spending and gaming revenue.\"GLPI is the most diversified of the three Gaming REITs, with strong underlying tenant credit and structural lease enhancements, resulting in a lower-risk platform that we believe is under-appreciated by the market,\" writes Mizuho analyst Haendel St. Juste.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.The bull case for GLPI makes it easy to understand why Gates Capital increased its exposure to a stock it first bought back in 2013. The hedge fund holds 1.7% of GLPI's shares outstanding, making it the REIT's 12th largest investor.S&P GlobalMarket value:$91.4 billionBillionaire investor:Chris Hohn (TCI Fund Management)Percent of portfolio:6.0%Activist investor Chris Hohn has made quite a name for himself with The Children's Investment Fund Management – more commonly known as TCI Fund Management. Indeed, the London-based investor has parlayed his many stock picks into a personal net worth of $5.9 billion, per Forbes.TCI, with more than $34 billion in managed securities, made a handful of moves in Q1, and none was bigger in percentage terms than its doubling down (and then some) onS&P Global(SPGI, $379.47).Hohn increased the fund's stake in SPGI by 147% – by far its largest addition of the quarter in percentage terms – adding 3.5 million shares. TCI now owns 5.9 million shares in the company behind S&P Global Ratings, S&P Global Market Intelligence and S&P Global Platts.The stake, worth $2.1 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 6.0% of TCI's portfolio value, and gives Hohn ownership of 2.4% of S&P's shares outstanding. That makes TCI the company's sixth-largest shareholder.Although most investors probably know S&P for its majority stake in S&P Dow Jones Indices – which maintains the benchmark S&P 500 index and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average – it's also a central player in corporate and financial analytics, information and research.Dedicated long-term income investors probably already know thatSPGI happens to be a Dividend Aristocrat. The company has increased its dividend annually for nearly half a century.AbbVieMarket value:$199.9 billionBillionaire investor:Avidity Partners ManagementPercent of portfolio:6.3%AbbVie(ABBV, $113.20) was spun off from the above-mentioned Abbott Laboratories in 2013. It too, is a Dividend Aristocrat, having lifted its dividend annually for almost half a century.Consumers best know the pharma firm for Humira, a blockbuster drug for rheumatoid arthritis that has been approved for numerous other ailments. AbbVie also makes cancer drug Imbruvica, as well as testosterone replacement therapy AndroGel.Avidity Partners Management, a Dallas hedge fund with AUM of $6.2 billion, focuses primarily on stock picks in the healthcare sector, and it has been a fan of AbbVie since the fourth quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its stake in the pharma giant by 53%, or 721,200 shares. Avidity now holds a total of nearly 2.1 million shares in ABBV, worth $225 million at the end of Q1.At 6.3% of its equity portfolio, AbbVie is Avidity's single largest position. That's up from 4.7% about three months ago.The Street is a solid fan of ABBV, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with 11 Strong Buy ratings, six Buys and five Hold calls. One analyst has a Sell recommendation on the stock.\"AbbVie is developing new growth drivers to help offset slowing sales of Humira, still its largest product by revenue,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates the stock at Buy. \"We expect continued strong growth from the oncology portfolio and newer immunology drugs in 2021.\"Applied MaterialsMarket value:$126.2 billionBillionaire investor:Bristol Gate Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:6.3%Bristol Gate Capital Partners, a Toronto hedge fund with AUM of $1.7 billion, initiated a position inApplied Materials(AMAT, $138.13) in the first quarter.And what a commitment it was. The new purchase of 783,931 shares, worth $105 million at the end of Q1, vaulted the position to Bristol Gate's top holding, accounting for 6.3% of its portfolio.Applied Materials, which provides manufacturing equipment and technology to the semiconductor industry, is an allied play on the global chip shortage. Indeed, relentless demand for semiconductors from a wide range of industries has helped AMAT stock jump about 60% for the year-to-date.The Street is heavily bullish on the name, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, according to S&P Global Market Research. The high opinion stems in part from the Street's forecast for EPS to increase at an average annual rate of nearly 19% over the next three to five years.\"We believe underlying secular drivers are robust, broad-based and multi-year in nature,\" writes B. Riley analyst Craig Ellis, who rates AMAT at Buy.Johnson & JohnsonMarket value:$445.7 billionBillionaire investor:ACR Alpine Capital ResearchPercent of portfolio:6.3%ACR Alpine Capital Research, a large advisory with $2.5 billion in AUM, has been a long-time fan of blue-chipJohnson & Johnson(JNJ, $169.25). The St. Louis-based asset manager first invested in the Dow stock at the end of 2010, and it added incrementally to the position in Q1.ACR upped its stake in the multifaceted pharma giant by 1%, or 8,790 shares, bringing its total holdings to 704,842 shares. The stake, worth $115.8 million at quarter's end, is at the tail end of the advisory's top 10 stock picks, taking up 6.3% of ACR's total portfolio value.Analysts have a consensus recommendation of Buy on JNJ. Among the arguments in favor of the stock, bulls point to its strong pharmaceutical pipeline, as well as a rebound in demand for medical devices as patients undergo elective procedures put off during the pandemic.\"We expect the recovery in elective procedures and patient visit volumes to accelerate as the pandemic is starting to get under control in the U.S., which should result in a strong recovery in Medical Devices sales and solid growth in Pharma revenues,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates shares at Buy.Investors and analysts alike no doubt also appreciate the company's commitment to delivering income to investors. JNJ announced a 5% quarterly dividend increase in April 2021, to $1.06 per share from $1.01 per share. That marked this Dividend Aristocrat's 59th consecutive year of dividend increases.XilinxMarket value:$31.2 billionBillionaire investor:Canyon Capital AdvisorsPercent of portfolio:7.0%Canyon Capital Advisors, with AUM of $20.9 billion, has propelled founders Joshua Friedman and Mitchell Julis to Forbes' list of highest-earning hedge fund millionaires.So it's of interest that the Los Angeles-based fund significantly pared back on its two largest stock picks in Q1 – while greatly increasing its bet on chipmakerXilinx(XLNX, $127.00).In October 2020, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Xilinx announced a deal in which AMD would acquire the latter in an all-stock transaction valued at $35 billion.Canyon first bought shares in Xilinx in the fourth quarter of 2020, at which point the stake accounted for 4.6% of the fund's portfolio value. Then in Q1, Canyon upped its XLNX holdings by 89%, or 672,829 shares.The hedge fund's total stake of 1.4 million shares, worth $176.3 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 7.0% of its portfolio value.Canyon, with ownership of 0.58% of XLNX's shares outstanding, is a top-30 stockholder in the soon-to-be-acquired company. AMD and Xilinx expect their deal to close at the end of 2021.Analysts' consensus recommendation on XLNX stands at Hold, pending the deal close. They do, however, rate AMD at Buy, and generally applaud the strategic rationale of merging the two chipmakers' complementary assets.D.R. HortonMarket value:$34.4 billionBillionaire investor:George Soros (Soros Fund Management)Percent of portfolio:7.4%Legendary hedge-fund tycoon George Soros, with an estimated net worth of $8.6 billion, per Forbes, today spends his days running Soros Fund Management.The New York-based family office – a sort of private hedge fund – has $5.3 billion in AUM, and one of its biggest stock picks is a bet on the severe shortage of new homes for sale.Soros first took a stake in homebuilderD.R. Horton(DHI, $95.29) during the first quarter of 2019, and he apparently remains bullish on the outlook. After all, the billionaire increased his DHI stake by 19%, or 703,850 shares, in the first quarter.Soros Fund Management's most recent investment makes DHI its second-largest holding, at 7.4% of the portfolio. The stake of 4.4 million shares – worth $392.8 million at the end of Q1 – equals 1.2% of the homebuilder's shares outstanding. As such, Soros Fund Management is D.R. Horton's 15th largest shareholder.With a consensus recommendation of Buy, per S&P Global Market Intelligence, the Street is also bullish on the name.\"With inventory constraints growing across the industry and buyer demand still nearly insatiable, we think DHI remains in an extraordinarily strong position to gain further market share and leverage its sector-leading scale,\" writes Raymond James analyst Buck Horne, who rates shares at Outperform (the equivalent of Buy).MicrosoftMarket value:$1.9 trillionBillionaire investor:Chase Coleman III (Tiger Global Management)Percent of portfolio:7.4%Hedge-fund legend Chase Coleman III, with a net worth of $10.3 billion, according to Forbes, upped his bet onMicrosoft(MSFT, $249.68) in the first quarter of 2021.And he did so in a compelling fashion.Coleman's Tiger Global Management ($79 billion AUM) increased its stake in MSFT by 15%, or 1.8 million shares, in the first three months of the year. The hedge fund now owns a total of 13.7 million shares, worth $3.2 billion at the end of Q1.The MSFT stake, which accounts for 7.4% of Tiger Global's portfolio value, is second only to its bet on Chinese e-commerce company JD.com (JD), which is top among Coleman's stock picks at 9.9% of the portfolio.Tiger Global first bought MSFT in the fourth quarter of 2016, and adding to the stake certainly makes sense. Wall Street analysts mostly adore this component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.After all, MSFT – the second-largest U.S. company by market value after Apple (AAPL) – lands among the pro's11 best Nasdaq stocks you can buy. Analysts' consensus recommendation on MSFT comes to Strong Buy, with 26 Strong Buy calls, 11 Buys and one Hold rating.TeslaMarket value:$602.3 billionBillionaire investor:Ark InvestPercent of portfolio:7.6%Ark Invest features prominently in the financial news these days, thanks to the strong performance of several of its actively managed exchange-traded funds.Indeed, as Kiplinger has noted, 2020 was the year of Cathie Wood, CEO and founder of Ark Invest, who steered its then-five separate actively managed innovation-themed funds to the ranks ofthe best-performing equity ETFsof the year.In addition to ETFs, Ark offers managed accounts and other products and services aimed at high net worth investors. Thanks to the various products and services it offers, the firm has amassed more than $55 billion in AUM.So it says something when Ark's single-largest holding isTesla(TSLA, $625.22) – especially since the firm is increasing its exposure to the electric vehicle maker at an accelerating pace.Ark boosted its TSLA position by 39%, or 1.7 million shares, during the first quarter of 2021. The stake, which accounts for 7.6% of Ark Investment Management's equity portfolio, was worth nearly $4 billion at the end of Q1.It's not hard to see why Wood likes TSLA so much. Her investment approach focuses on innovation, and Tesla, led by the mercurial Elon Musk, is nothing if not innovative.ComcastMarket value:$263.4 billionBillionaire investor:Rothschild & Company Wealth Management UKPercent of portfolio:9.0%Rothschild & Company Wealth Management UK, a London-based hedge fund with $16.4 billion in AUM, is increasingly bullish onComcast(CMCSA, $57.34).Welcome to the club.The nation's largest cable company regularly makes the list ofhedge funds' favorite stock picks. That's because its combination of content, broadband, pay TV, theme parks and movies is unparalleled by rivals, and gives thisblue-chip stocka huge strategic advantage.CMCSA's diversification came in especially handy last year when the pandemic walloped theme parks, cinemas and spending on advertising.\"While the pandemic has materially impacted Comcast, the company's steady cable division continues to provide vital connectivity for its large base of 23 million subscribers,\" writes Argus Research analyst Joseph Bonner (Buy).Rothschild first bought shares in the cable operator in the first quarter of 2019, and most recently upped its bet by 2%, or 194,324 shares. The hedge fund's total holdings of 9.2 million shares, worth $500.2 million at the end of Q1, accounted for 9.0% of its portfolio. CMCSA is now Rothchild's sixth-largest position.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the stock comes to Buy, per S&P Global Market Intelligence, with 20 Strong Buy ratings, nine Buys, four Holds and one Strong Sell. The Street expects the company to deliver average annual EPS growth of nearly 16% over the next three to five years.AptivMarket value:$40.7 billionBillionaire investor:Caxton AssociatesPercent of portfolio:9.4%Billionaire philanthropist Bruce Kovner, with an estimated net worth of $6.6 billion, retired from his management role at Caxton Associates a decade ago. But the hedge fund he founded continues to rake in the bucks with his global macroeconomic trading strategies.Indeed, Caxton last year closed its flagship fund to new money after posting record 40% gains during the pandemic. And the firm shows no signs of slowing down.Caxton, with AUM of $25.7 billion, has ownedAptiv(APTV, $150.42) since the first quarter of 2019, but it really went all in earlier this year.Caxton upped its stake in APTV by 61%, or 285,618 shares. Indeed, the purchase made APTV the fund's top stock pick, accounting for 9.4% of the portfolio, up from 4.2% three months ago. Caxton's 747,843 shares were worth $103.1 million at the end of Q1.Shares in Aptiv, which makes safety, connectivity and green technology for vehicles, have essentially doubled over the past 52 weeks, and analysts say they have more room to run.\"Aptiv indeed is not only benefitting from accelerating industry adoption of vehicle electrification, advanced driver-assistance systems, and connected vehicle technologies, but also achieving dominant win rates in several of these areas based on its complete system knowledge, and software-based flexible architectures,\" writes Deutsche Bank analyst Emmanuel Rosner (Buy).AdobeMarket value:$241.2 billionBillionaire investor:Atalan Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:9.6%Atalan Capital Partners, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $2 billion, boosted its stake inAdobe(ADBE, $504.58) in Q1, which vaulted the software company into the No. 2 spot among its stock picks.Atalan increased its holdings by 38%, or 82,000 shares, in Q1, lifting its total stake to 295,000 shares worth $140.2 million as of March 31. The position accounts for 9.6% of the portfolio.Atalan first picked up ADBE in the second quarter of 2020, which was not the best timing. Shares are up just about 16% since June 30 of last year, lagging the S&P 500 by roughly 20 percentage points.That's not to say ADBE stock won't continue to be a winner in the longer run. Analysts tend to be heavily bullish on the name, thanks to its dominance in its field. After all, Adobe is the undisputed leader in making software for designers and other creative types. Its software arsenal includes Photoshop, Premiere Pro for video editing and Dreamweaver for website design, among others.\"As a result of its early-mover position and strategic M&A transactions, Adobe has established itself as the unchallenged leader in Creative software,\" writes Stifel analyst Jeffrey Parker Lane (Buy). \"We view Adobe as one of the most compelling investment cases in our coverage areas.\"The Street's consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with an annual EPS growth forecast of more than 15% over the next three to five years.Thermo Fisher ScientificMarket value:$184.5 billionBillionaire investor:Cryder Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:9.7%Thermo Fisher Scientific(TMO, $469.50), is sometimes called the \"Amazon of the healthcare industry\" because of its wide-ranging portfolio of life sciences products, analytics and laboratory instruments.As such, it has been highly active in the fight against COVID-19, which in turn has raised its profile and investor interest. And although TMO has been a holding of Cryder Capital Partners since 2015, the hedge fund remains an incremental buyer.London-based Cryder Capital, with $1 billion in AUM, lifted its stake in TMO by 2%, or 6,398 shares, during the first three months of the year. The hedge fund now holds a total of 298,587 shares, worth $136.3 million as of March 31. Despite a high weight of 9.7%, TMO is just seventh largest among the fund's stock picks.Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Strong Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Argus Research is just one research shop in the bull camp.\"Thermo is seeing strong demand for COVID-19 testing solutions as well as for instruments and supplies used by developers of vaccines and other treatments,\" writes analyst David Toung (Buy). \"But the company is also investing its substantial cash flow in technology upgrades, capacity expansions and acquisitions.\"With an average target price of $557.17, the Street gives TMO stock implied upside of about 18% in the next 12 months or so.VisaMarket value:$484.8 billionBillionaire investor:Valley Forge Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:10.2%Visa(V, $227.30) routinely makes most lists of analysts', hedge funds' or billionaires' favorite stocks.Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)owns a stake worth more than $2 billion, although chairman and CEO Warren Buffett readily credits the holding to one of his stock-picking lieutenants.And indeed, there is much to like about this Dow stock. Visa operates the world's largest payments network, and thus is well-positioned to benefit from the growth of cashless transactions and digital mobile payments.The Street's consensus recommendation is a high-conviction Buy. Of the analysts covering the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 21 call V a Strong Buy, 12 rate it at Buy, four say Hold and one calls it a Sell.Valley Forge Capital Management, a hedge fund in Wayne, Pennsylvania, with $1.1 billion in AUM, is certainly a big believer. Visa accounts for 10.2% of its equity portfolio.The fund increased its Visa stake by 88%, or 477,181 shares, in Q1. It now holds more than 1 million shares worth $215 million as of March 31. Mind you, Valley Forge Capital is hardly a novice in this stock. The fund has counted Visa among its stock picks since 2016.Although the pandemic greatly curtailed spending in a number of Visa's categories – most notably travel and entertainment – those headwinds should now be in the past. Indeed, the gradual global reopening – and accelerating secular growth in cashless payments, helped by the perception that cash is \"dirty\" – make a solid bull case for Visa stock.IntelMarket value:$230.7 billionBillionaire investor:Cavalry Management GroupPercent of portfolio:10.4%Intel(INTC, $57.12) has fallen far behind the competition on any number of fronts, which is why analysts and investors were so delighted when the chipmaker hired Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of VMWare (VMW), to take over in February.Heck, some observers said it was the best decision the troubled company made in more than a decade. And, indeed, this Dow stock has been a disappointing performer. Shares are up just 3% over the past three years vs. a gain of 54% for the S&P 500.So props to Cavalry Management Group for making a bold bet on the semiconductor company earlier this year. The San Francisco hedge fund with $2.6 billion in AUM initiated a large enough position to instantly make Intel its top stock pick.Cavalry Management bought 1.7 million shares during the first three months of 2021. With a value of $111.6 million at the end of Q1, INTC accounted for more than 10% of the hedge fund's investments.Cavalry largely focuses on large-cap tech stocks, so Intel certainly fits well with its broader strategy. Other moves the fund made in Q1 included more than tripling its stake in Microsoft, and almost doubling its holdings in Ericsson (ERIC).The Street is generally more cautious on INTC than Cavalry Management is. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Hold, per S&P Global Market Intelligence.PayPal HoldingsMarket value:$305.5 billionBillionaire investor:Dorsey Asset ManagementPercent of portfolio:11.8%Digital mobile payments and the expansion of cashless transactions are one of the hottest areas of growth in financial tech. And although the sector offers no shortage of promising new names, old-timerPayPal Holdings(PYPL, $260.02) still gets plenty of analyst – and billionaire investor – love.Explosive growth in mobile transactions, the monetization of its Venmo property and incremental revenue growth in its Xoom business all help make for a compelling bull case on PYPL, analysts say.\"Simply put, PayPal should continue to benefit from the secular shift to e-commerce that should drive a roughly 20% revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR), which, coupled with margin expansion and capital allocation (mergers & acquisitions plus stock buybacks), should result in an earnings CAGR north of 20% over the next several years,\" writes Raymond James analyst John Davis, who rates the stock at Outperform (the equivalent of Buy).Dorsey Asset Management, with $1.3 billion in AUM, embraces the bull case on PYPL in a big way. The Chicago-based hedge fund increased its stake in PayPal by 81%, or 209,025 shares, in Q1. Its total holdings of 465,266 shares, worth $113 million as of March 31, comprises 11.8% of its stock investments.That's up from 7.9% of the portfolio three months ago. PYPL, which Dorsey has owned since the second quarter of 2018, is now its fifth-largest position.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the stock stands at Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.Howard HughesMarket value:$5.8 billionBillionaire investor:Bill Ackman (Pershing Square Capital)Percent of portfolio:12.1%No one doubts Bill Ackman's investing acumen. His Pershing Square Capital hedge fund has allowed the investor to amass a personal fortune of $3 billion, per Forbes.And he's never been one to shy away from the media. So his increasing stake inHoward Hughes Corp.(HHC, $105.83) is far from a state secret. Indeed, Ackman has owned shares in the master-planned community developer since it was spun off from General Growth Properties in 2010.Given Ackman's propensity for being anactivist investor, his latest purchase is eyebrow-raising news, nonetheless.The hedge-fund billionaire increased his stake in HHC by 23%, or 2.6 million shares, in Q1. Pershing Square's stake of 13.5 million shares was worth $1.3 billion at the first quarter's end.Most notably, Ackman now holds almost a quarter of HHC's shares outstanding. That makes the hedge fund the company's largest investor by a wide margin. Asset manager Vanguard, at No. 2, owns just 10.8% of HHC.Meanwhile, HHC, at 12.1% of its portfolio, is now Pershing Square Capital's sixth-largest position.For those keeping score at home, HHC stock has doubled over the past 52 weeks vs. a gain of about 38% for the S&P 500. For the year-to-date, it's up by more than a third. That compares with the broader market's gain of about 12% so far this year.Only three analysts cover HHC, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. One rates it at Strong Buy, while the other two say Buy.Lowe'sMarket value:$137.7 billionBillionaire investor:Two Creeks Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:12.2%Two Creeks Capital Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $2.8 billion, made a big addition to its stake inLowe's(LOW, $194.83) in the first quarter – a move most analysts would regard as wise.The nation's second-largest home improvement retailer after Home Depot (HD) benefited greatly from the work-from-home/stuck-at-home reality of pandemic life. Analysts say many of the do-it-yourself habits consumers adopted during COVID times are here to stay. Lowe's is also being aided by the ultra-tight housing market.The Street gives LOW a consensus recommendation of Buy. Argus Research, which counts itself in the Buy camp, says Lowe's has several strong tailwinds behind it.\"We believe that the major drivers of post-pandemic sales growth remain the same,\" writes Argus Research analyst Christopher Graja. \"There has been significant underinvestment in housing. About 70% of U.S. homes are more than 25 years old and likely in need of upgrades and repairs. Millennials are starting families.\"Income investors know the power of Lowe's dividend over the longer haul. The Dividend Aristocrat has paid a cash distribution every quarter since going public in 1961, and that dividend has increased annually for almost 60 years.The bullish investment thesis led Two Creeks to up its stake in this stock pick by 14%, or 132,811 shares, in Q1. The hedge fund's total stake of 1.1 million LOW shares, worth $200 million at the end of Q1, accounts for 12.2% of its portfolio, representing its third-largest holding.AlphabetMarket value:$1.6 trillionBillionaire investor:Metropolis CapitalPercent of portfolio:13.3%It should come as no surprise that hedge funds are big believers in Google parentAlphabet(GOOGL, $2,356,85). Metropolis Capital, a U.K.-based investor with $1.4 billion in AUM, is just one of about 225 hedge funds upping its stake in the internet giant in Q1.Metropolis thinks highly enough of the search leader that it increased its stake by 22%, or 13,679 shares. The firm now holds a total of 74,868 shares worth $154.4 million, or 13.3% of its total portfolio, as of March 31.Alphabet happens to be in good company at this hedge fund. GOOGL is Metropolis' second-largest stock pick after Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B).If nothing else, Alphabet's pandemic performance in totality bolstered the case that GOOGL is not a one-trick pony. Its numerous other endeavors likewise shore up the case. For example, Alphabet is a key player in cloud-based services, and home to Nest Labs and self-driving car startup Waymo. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and virtual reality are other areas of heavy investment.\"We continue to favor Google as a core large-cap growth holding given the strong digital advertising backdrop, continued strength from Cloud, ongoing share repurchases (with the newly authorized $50 billion program) and a reasonable valuation,\" writes Canaccord Genuity analyst Maria Ripps (Buy).Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy. Of the 45 analysts issuing opinions on the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 32 rate it at Strong Buy, 12 say Buy and one has it at Hold.Walt DisneyMarket value:$324.6 billionBillionaire investor:Kirkoswald Asset ManagementPercent of portfolio:16.5%Coronavirus took a huge bite out of some ofWalt Disney's(DIS, $178.65) most important businesses: namely, its theme parks and studios. But after encouraging quarterly results, analysts say business is set to bounce back in a big way.Disneyland and other California amusement parks have reopened with restrictions. And admissions at Florida's Disney World continue to climb.\"With mask mandates lifted and capacity constraints loosened further, we would not be surprised to see a step change in attendance in the near future,\" writes Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Kraft (Buy).But that's nothing compared to what DIS has on its hands in thestreaming mediawars.Disney+ is a smashing success. The streaming platform, which launched in November 2019, has already amassed almost 100 million subscribers – a staggering rate of growth. Consider that Disney+ now has about half as many subscribers as Netflix (NFLX) – but Netflix had a roughly 12-year head start.Kirkoswald Asset Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $4 billion, decided to get in on DIS asa recovery stock pickin Q1. It initiated a stake of 5,200 shares, worth almost $1 million, during the first three months of the year.The new stake immediately made DIS its second-largest position among $5.8 million in managed securities.Most of the Street would approve of Kirkoswald's investment. Analysts have a consensus Buy recommendation on this Dow stock.Berkshire HathawayMarket value:$661.0 billionBillionaire investor:Southeast Asset AdvisorsPercent of portfolio:16.8%If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.It's hard to compete with Warren Buffett when it comes toasset allocation. As CEO and chairman ofBerkshire Hathaway(BRK.B, $289.44), he's arguably the greatest long-term investor of all time.So it's little wonder that so many hedge funds, large advisories and other billion-dollar-plus pools of money throw in their lots with the Oracle of Omaha.Southeast Asset Advisors, an investment manager and hedge fund based in Thomasville, Georgia, with $1.6 billion in AUM, has been a BRK.B shareholder since 2008. Indeed, BRK.B, at 16.8% of its portfolio, is the fund's top holding.And it's only getting bigger.Southeast increased its stake in BRK.B by 2%, or 7,747 shares, in Q1. It now holds 365,149 shares worth $93.3 million. Only Alphabet Class C shares (GOOG) come close to the firm's BRK.B stake, accounting for 11.7% of the portfolio.BRK.B has been an outstanding performer both in 2021 and over the past 52 weeks. The stock is up 25% for the year-to-date, essentially doubling the S&P 500's gains. And over the past year? BRK.B returned 57% vs. a price increase of less than 40% for the broad-market gauge.Only four analysts cover BRK.B stock, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. Their consensus recommendation comes to Buy.AlibabaMarket value:$580.4 billionBillionaire investor:Conifer ManagementPercent of portfolio:20.7%Conifer Management, a New York hedge fund with $7.7 billion in AUM, has more than a fifth of its portfolio invested in Chinese e-commerce giantAlibaba(BABA, $213.96).Indeed, after upping its stake by 147%, or 884,845 shares, in Q1, BABA is Conifer's top holding. Its total stake of 1.5 million shares was worth $336.7 million at the end of the first quarter.Conifer initiated its stake in BABA only in the final quarter of last year. To the hedge fund's credit, this stock pick is a highly defensible investment idea.Alibaba is sometimes called the Amazon of China. There are important differences between the two, but they do share the enviable trait of being undisputed titans ine-commerce.And like Amazon, Alibaba has never shied away from investing heavily to both build out its existing businesses and enter new ones. As a result, BABA finds itself spreading beyond its core e-commerce business into cloud computing, digital payments and more.It also helps that BABA and investors can now move past a $2.75 billion fine imposed by Chinese regulators for violating anti-monopoly laws.Some analysts worry about decelerating revenue in the company's cloud services business, but the majority of the Street sees recent share-price weakness as a buying opportunity.The consensus recommendation of 49 analysts tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence comes to Strong Buy on BABA stock.MastercardMarket value:$357.4 billionBillionaire investor:Valley Forge Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:22.6%If Valley Forge Capital Management likes Visa – as noted above – it absolutely adores competitorMastercard(MA, $360.58).The Wayne, Pennsylvania-based hedge fund with $1.1 billion in AUM almost doubled its stake in this stock pick in the first quarter. And with more than a fifth of its portfolio tied up in the payments processor, Mastercard is Valley Forge's top holding.The hedge fund bought another 665,544 shares, representing a 98% increase, in Q1, bringing its total holdings to 1.3 million shares. The position was worth $477.9 million as of March 31.Valley Forge, which owns 0.14% of MA's shares outstanding, has been an investor in the company since 2016. It's a bet that appears to have done quite well. Mastercard stock's five-year total return – price appreciation plus dividends – comes to 30.8%, according to Morningstar data. That beats its sector by 5.7 percentage points and leads the broader market by 13.4 percentage points.Like Visa, Mastercard has relentless growth in digital mobile payments and other cashless transactions at its back.\"Mastercard is a key beneficiary of the long-term secular shift toward electronic forms of payments, and that new technology is helping accelerate the shift,\" writes William Blair analyst Robert Napoli (Outperform)And, just like Visa, MA has a lot of fans on the Street. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy.FacebookMarket value:$932.1 billionBillionaire investor:Altarock PartnersPercent of portfolio:24.4%There's a strong bull case to be made forFacebook(FB, $328.73), the social media giant that forms a digital-ad duopoly with Google. Just ask Altarock Partners.This hedge fund, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, with AUM of $3.1 billion, has almost a quarter of its portfolio socked away in Facebook stock. After buying another 465,800 shares, a 27% increase, in Q1, the hedge fund is sitting on 2.2 million shares worth $641.4 million as of March 31.That makes FB Altarock's second-largest holding.And just who is at No. 1?None other than Google parent Alphabet, which commands 25.1% of Altarock's investment portfolio.The hedge fund first bought FB in the fourth quarter of last year, so it's building up its position on the stock pick pretty rapidly. And well it should, if analysts are right about this name.The Street's consensus recommendation on FB stands at Strong Buy, as analysts forecast the company to deliver truly impressive profit growth for some time.\"We believe Facebook's share gains during the pandemic and new initiatives in e-commerce can drive many years of above-market growth,\" writes Stifel analyst John Egbert (Buy). \"We are comfortable with the potential outcomes of antitrust inquiries and believe FB shares offer investors a rare combination of growth and value relative to its peers.\"SeagenMarket value:$28.2 billionBillionaire investor:Felix and Julian Baker (Baker Bros. Advisors)Percent of portfolio:29.7%Seagen(SGEN, $155.35), a biotechnology firm specializing in oncology treatments, couldn't get a bigger vote of confidence than being the top holding of Baker Bros. Advisors.This New York-based hedge fund with $35.8 billion in AUM is led by billionaire biotech investors Julian and Felix Baker. The brothers may keep a low profile, but they're plenty famous in the world ofbiotech stocks. A series of successful investments have allowed the Bakers to build an estimated combined fortune of about $4 billion, according to Forbes.And judging by their latest regulatory filings, the brothers have great expectations for Seagen, too. The stock pick accounts for nearly 30% of the total value of the Baker Bros.' holdings, up from 28.5% three months ago.The increase stems in part from Baker Bros. buying another 347,745 shares in SGEN in the first quarter of 2021. The fund's total holdings of 47.6 million shares were worth more than $7 billion at the end of Q1.The stake gives Baker Bros. ownership of 26.3% of SGEN's shares outstanding, which makes it the biotech company's largest shareholder by a wide margin. The second-largest investor – Capital Research and Management – holds only 8.6% of SGEN's shares outstanding.The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.TRENDING TOPICSTRENDING ARTICLES","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":520,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119348602,"gmtCreate":1622522908506,"gmtModify":1704185586389,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What's a good price to buy?","listText":"What's a good price to buy?","text":"What's a good price to buy?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/119348602","repostId":"2140457902","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140457902","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":1622516312,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2140457902?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-01 10:58","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"JD Logistics rises on inclusion in Hang Seng Composite Index","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140457902","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Shares of JD Logistics Inc rise as much as 5.7% to HK$43.9, the ninth most actively traded by turnover.Hang Seng Indexes Company says JD Logistics meets the Fast Entry Rule of various indexes and will be added to Hang Seng Composite Index and sub-indexes effective June 11 JD Logistics, spun off from e-commerce major JD.Com Inc began trading on May 28.

These are the analysts with the highest success rate and average return per rating, taking into consideration the number of ratings published by each analyst.Here are top Wall Street analysts' five favorite stocks heading into June:Advanced Micro DevicesNorthland Capital analyst Gus Richard says it's to infinity and beyond for Advanced Micro Devices. In line with this optimistic take, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and $116 price target.Richard believes that the semiconductor name will have a solid Q2, but argues the real question is whether PC demand will slow as the economy re-opens. According to the analyst, the answer is yes, but points out that $AMD(AMD)$’s “better products” are helping it to take market share from Intel.“One of the most difficult markets to penetrate is the corporate client. In CY19 Intel was short on 14nm capacity and late on 10nm and this limited its ability to meet demand opening the door for AMD in the corporate market. We estimate that AMD currently has a 5% to 7% share of the higher-margin corporate client market and expect its share to accelerate as corporations dual source,” Richard explained.Additionally, based on Intel’s recent results and the analyst’s industry checks, Intel has been focused on low-end Chromebooks, and “these dynamics bode well for a strong 2H for AMD in the client market,” in Richard’s opinion.With this in mind, Richard argues that over the next few years, AMD’s revenue share in the PC clients market will reach around 50%, from 20% currently. It also is in the second year of a game console product cycle, which the analyst believes could lead to an improvement in gross margins for this segment.It should also be noted thatAMDhas an advantage in the x86 server space. “We believe leadership in the x86 market is driven primarily by process technology and to a lesser extent design differentiation. INTC is chasing government money to build foundries in the US putting it into competition with TSMC. While INTC has struck a longterm supply agreement with TSMC they are also becoming a competitor to TSMC. It is in TSMC’s best interest to favor AMD over INTC as it will get all of AMD’s lead edge logic business,” Richard commented.Landing a top 40 spot on TipRanks’ list of best-performing analysts, Richard boasts a 71% success rate and 33.8% average return per rating.AmedisysOperating in the healthcare services space,Amedisys offers home healthcare (HH), hospice services and disease management programs.According to Oppenheimer’s Michael Wiederhorn, the company’s “growth story remains on track,” prompting the analyst to maintain a Buy rating. In addition, he left the $325 price target as is.“We hosted meetings with Amedisys and believe the company remains well-positioned for growth in the post-pandemic era, driven by organic opportunities as it bulks up its BD staff and leverages opportunities to further penetrate existing markets with its sizable hospice platform, which included ~$600 million in acquired hospice revenues,” Wiederhorn noted.Across both of its main segments, trends have been bouncing back, with elective procedures moving toward 100% of baseline. As for the hospice business,Amedisys’ primary focus is on admissions, but Wiederhorn points out that LOS issues might have normalized.Some investors have expressed concern about labor inflation, but Wiederhorn doesn’t see this as a significant issue. The analyst tells investors that “despite the ongoing noise in the marketplace,” labor inflation is under control and management is watching the wage environment.“Amedisys has continued to generate low turnover rates (15%) that are well below the market and historical levels (40%) due in large part to its predictive analytics that identify vulnerable employees,” Wiederhorn added.When it comes to M&A, the company is “optimistic on the longer-term upside from home health M&A, as the myriad of pandemic-related benefits, including sequestration, payroll tax, Medicare accelerated payments, CARES Act money and the RAP impact, are set to expire,” says Wiederhorn. He also points out that Amedisys has made a significant effort to establish partnerships which “leverage its high quality scores.”“The company spoke positively regarding its SNF @ Home Partnership with Sound Physicians, which deploys some form of capitation, while its Fresenius dialysis partnership has partial capitation,” Wiederhorn stated.Thanks to his 76% success rate and 23.6% average return per rating, Wiederhorn is ranked #34 out of over 7,000 analysts tracked by TipRanks.DeereEven though Deere bumped up its outlook for 2021, Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann thinks these estimates “could prove conservative.” With this in mind, the top analyst reiterated a Buy rating. In addition, he gave the price target a lift, with the figure moving from $400 to $450.When trying to call Deere’s next peak, it is “complicated,” in Volkmann’s opinion. “First, management’s commentary around the cycle – both Large and Small Ag business at roughly 110-115% of mid-cycle – excludes the last supercycle and therefore undercounts the potential. Second, we estimate overall ASPs have increased 40-50% since the 2013 peak through a combination of emissions regulations, increased technology content, and normal inflation,” the analyst explained.So, what’s the bottom line? Volkmann estimates that the total potential revenue is $55 billion, and at 20% EBIT margin, this amounts to $30 in earnings power, not including additional capital employment.According to the management team at Deere, for 2021, consolidated sales are set to rise 23.5%-28.5% (compared to the previous 16%-25% estimate), with this factoring in FX and pricing tailwinds.Volkmann points out that although the company is benefitting from commodity price inflation, management has warned about a $750 million freight/logistics and material costs headwind for the rest of this year. In addition, given that the 2021 order book is filled, it might be hard for Deere to cover additional increases. That being said, the analyst argues “pricing was the standout message of the quarter, adding roughly 6 percentage points to F1H growth and 5-plus points to the full-year outlook.”What’s more, Deere is evaluating additional structural changes, with this potentially including overseas footprint consolidations and closures. Its key priorities are to streamline the organizational structure, make “more focused capital allocation decisions geared toward the higher-growth, higher-margin portion of the portfolio,” expand the aftermarket opportunity and increase Wirtgen synergies.Volkmann lands a top 100 ranking as a result of his 74% success rate and 25.8% average return per rating.ZscalerCalling Zscaler’s latest quarterly performance “another jaw dropper,” Wedbush’s Daniel Ives remains very much with the bulls. To this end, the analyst kept a Buy rating and $240 price target on the cloud-based information security company.Looking at the print, billings gained 71% and surpassed the consensus estimate by 20%-plus, with Ives noting its “clear that the zero trust shift is hitting another gear of growth with ZS leading the charge.”Expounding on this, Ives stated, “While the bears and skeptics on ZS threw the company in the ‘WFH growth tailing off crew’ over the last few months, we continue to view this is a zero trust cloud transformation name that will see massive growth prospects for the foreseeable future as the company is essentially the only game in town on enterprise scale zero trust cyber security deployments.”Arguing that Zscaleris in the “drivers seat” when it comes to the cloud cyber security shift over the next ten years, Ives believes that the current IT landscape has ramped up the company’s ability to capitalize on the opportunity.“In our opinion, ZS is the best pure play in the cloud security arena, which we believe is still in the very early innings of taking off with overall hybrid cloud workloads poised to meaningfully accelerate over the coming years and in this climate could see some strategic deals moved forward as the shift to cloud outside the firewall is catalyzing a handful of key sales cycles,” Ives commented.According to the Wedbush analyst, the need to secure applications, data and consumers outside the firewall highlight the huge total addressable market.Summing it all up, Ives said, “To this point given last night’s results and our increased confidence in the ZS story, we believe a further re-rating is still in the cards over the next 12 to 18 months.”Ives’ stellar track record speaks for itself. The #73 rated analyst has delivered a 68% success rate and 30.4% average return per rating.AtriCureAtriCure has developed a portfolio of products for the surgical ablation of cardiac tissue to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in concomitant and stand-alone procedures.For BTIG analyst Marie Thibault, there are multiple reasons to be bullish on AtriCure’s long-term growth prospects. Bearing this in mind, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and a $76 price target.Recently, Thibault hosted a call with Dr. Michael Panutich, a cardiac electrophysiologist (EP) at the Hoag Heart & Vascular Institute, who has been performing the hybrid Convergent procedure, which involves endocardial catheter ablation and epicardial ablation using AtriCure’s EPi-Sense Coagulation Device, since 2017. Given that the FDA has approved the EPi-Sense device in long-standing persistent AF, Dr. Panutich believes that the number of hospitals adopting and marketing the procedure will grow.On top of this, Thibault points out that the FDA approval could make it easier to secure reimbursement, as “fewer insurers will be able to push back on the treatment as being ‘experimental’ or require a failed ablation first.”“This discussion left us with the impression that ATRC’s minimally invasive franchise is poised for robust growth, that careful training will be key to continued success with the Convergent procedure, and that the AF field will continue to be a source of clinical progress,” Thibault commented.What else is driving Thibault’s confidence? The analyst highlights the ongoing momentum for AtriClip, AtriCure’s product designed for use in the occlusion of the left atrial appendage, one of the most common sources of stroke. She is also expecting to see new verticals like cryoablation contribute to revenue generation.Thibault sports an impressive 65.8% average return per rating, helping her to earn a #127 ranking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":351,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":134711955,"gmtCreate":1622259091477,"gmtModify":1704182405843,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Boo to crypto","listText":"Boo to crypto","text":"Boo to crypto","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/134711955","repostId":"1170226387","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170226387","pubTimestamp":1622211688,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170226387?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-28 22:21","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Headed for the Moon?

By just creating a Twitter account using Musk’s profile image and name, these scammers have convinced users to send over $2 million in Bitcoin to them. The scam, a play on the popular“Nigerian prince”email scheme, is shockingly lucrative. And, unfortunately, it’s only a drop in the bucket as far as crypto scams go.</p><p>With this in mind, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with different crypto schemes to minimize the risk of falling victim to one. Let’s take a look at some of the most common crypto scams.</p><p><b>Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fake ICOs</b></p><p>A fake ICO, or initial coin offering, takes a similar shape to a pre-IPO scam. In it, a cryptocurrency will pop up. It will have a white paper and all the fixings, advertising a “groundbreaking” new blockchain tech oryield-farming modelthat is certain to bring<i>huge gains</i>.</p><p>These crypto scams usually also have great marketing. Victims are the type who are prone to speculative investing; they’ll bite, pouring money into an initial offering in order to get those “big gains.” Before you know it, they’re seeing no movement in their portfolio. Or, they’re getting a worthless token with absolutely no utility. The scammer rides off into the sunset with a full wallet.</p><p>A famous example of a fake ICO is&nbsp;<b>Pincoin</b>. The development teamraised $660 million from investors, launched a different coin from the one advertised, and compensated the victims with loads of the worthless crypto before disappearing. The resulting protests outside their Ho Chi Minh City office were a fruitless effort; the seven developersemptied the commercial space and never came back.</p><p>So how do you avoid these cryptocurrency scams? The key for spotting a fake ICO is in the details.</p><p>This means you should pore over the white paper, which is the cornerstone document to a blockchain project. It contains all the details of how a crypto functions, how it is used, and the roadmap for the underlying company and team.</p><p>The details of a white paper are where you will find the evidence of a scam. If it doesn’t have a white paper, that’s an immediate red flag. If there are typos, or if there is a lack of a clear vision or roadmap for the crypto, these are all signs of a cryptocurrency scam.</p><p><b>Ponzi Schemes</b></p><p>If you’re at all familiar with investing, you are familiar with Ponzi schemes. The scam is one in which old investors are paid with the money of new investors, under the guise of receiving gains from their investment. It’s a scheme as old as — well, as old as Charles Ponzi, who originated the scam under the façade of selling discounted postage stamps.</p><p>In the 100-plus years since, the scam has remained, but it’s become more sophisticated.</p><p>With cryptos, a Ponzi scheme takes a similar form. Scammers offer huge gains through an “up and coming” new arbitrage model. Money is taken from the new investors, given to the old investors disguised as the gains, and the scammer pockets his share.</p><p>The most notable Ponzi scheme in crypto is<b>Bitconnect</b>, a high-yield investment program disguised as an open-source currency. Users could stake their coins for high daily interest, which was actually just money taken from newer investors. And the company made a huge profit; Bitconnectwas a top 20 cryptocurrencyin terms of market capitalization before its collapse.</p><p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissionkeeps a handy guideon spotting this particular crypto scheme. Investors should look out for the classic “high return, no risk” promise typical of a cryptocurrency scam. Overly complex strategies and returns that look uncannily consistent are also signs of fraud. Because of the nature of cryptos, overly consistent returns are unusual. Things ebb and flow on the market, so when returns are the same month after month, it suggests the gains are artificial.</p><p><b>Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fraud Wallets</b></p><p>A fraud wallet scam is closely related to the internet-age-old practice of phishing. But rather than sending out emails pretending to be a reputable company, fraud wallets typically wait for you to come to them.</p><p>Fraud wallets can take the shape of a website or a mobile app, just like a real crypto wallet. Everything might seem totally legitimate: a shiny logo, high ratings, a sleek interface; heck, just the fact that a wallet app is on the Apple App Store could seem like reason enough to believe a wallet is real.</p><p>Much like a lemon car, the fraud takes advantage of the adage “looks can be deceiving.” When one signs up for a fraudulent wallet, they do all the work for the scammer. They add in their information, link a card or two, and load crypto right into the scammers’ hands. Then, just as quickly as the scammers showed up, they vanish with the coins.</p><p><b>Trezor’s doppelgänger app</b>&nbsp;is a famous example of a fraud wallet scheme, evengetting coverage in the<i>Washington Post</i>. The app posed as Trezor, which is a reputable crypto wallet. However, the doppelgänger app was acting in bad faith and stripped customers’ coins. As a result, victims have lost nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency. The most disturbing part of it all is that the app was housed on Apple’s platform, a supposedly safe space to download applications. It proves that you can’t let your guard down.</p><p>My advice here is to stick with the biggest wallet players. Look for wallets with blue checkmarks on their Twitter profiles. Go to websites through official links to be sure you’re on legitimate sites. Don’t necessarily trust an app just because it has hundreds of reviews on an app store; security firm ESET says to “only trust cryptocurrency-related and other finance apps if they are linked from the official website of the service.”</p><p>Double and triple check that you’re looking through official channels when preparing to sign up for a wallet in-browser. If you go through as many channels as possible that evaluate content for fraud, the likelihood that you are using a crypto scam product decreases significantly.</p><p><b>Social Media Scams</b></p><p>Social media scams are not exclusive to cryptocurrency. They’ve been around as long as social media has existed, and while all seek different ends, many recent social media scams want your digital currency.</p><p>Another variant of phishing, social media scams typically involve an account advertising big gains, a survey, or something similar, with a link. Clicking the link can lead to malware being installed on one’s device. Or, scammers can simply lure you into entering your information.</p><p>In the crypto-sphere, these scams usually target Bitcoin holders, due simply to the coin’s high value and rapid growth. A famous scam occurred in 2020, when hackers gained access to a slew of different celebrities’ Twitter accounts. Tweets went out from Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Kanye West; all including a wallet address. The promise was that a Bitcoin payment to the address would be paid back to users in double. The hackersmade approximately $121,000 from willful payments.</p><p>This cryptocurrency scam is the most easily avoided of the bunch. If you don’t know a user, don’t click any mysterious links. Typically, the scam is perpetuated by scammers on accounts that are brand new, have zero followers, and no profile picture. Even in the case of the famous Twitter hack that saw scams coming from verified accounts, it’s obvious that a promise to double one’s investment for free is illegitimate. Tom Robinson, co-founder of&nbsp;<b>Elliptic</b>,says of these scams, “what we often see with these type [sic] of exploits is that the exploit itself can be very sophisticated but they’re not very good at monetizing it.”</p><p>Some common sense and a keen sense of skepticism can go a long way.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line on Cryptocurrency Scams</b></p><p>This list isn’t all-encompassing; as cryptocurrencies change shape to fit consumers’ needs, so too will scams shapeshift to lure in new victims. Crypto is a booming industry, and a large part of that is because it is not regulated. Users can do whatever they want, which means some will use their privileges for malicious purposes.</p><p>Meme coins are going to keep cropping up, promising the success of&nbsp;<b>Dogecoin</b>(CCC:<b>DOGE-USD</b>). They’re not all illegitimate, but keep all of this information stored. You should be able to stay wary and skim the fakes from the pool. Likewise, fraudulent wallets and exchanges will continue popping up as long as legitimate ones keep hitting the market as “innovative new platforms in blockchain tech.”</p><p>Almost all crypto scams can be rooted out by simply taking a closer look. Scammers are sloppy — they make typos, they leave out details. If it walks like a scam, and it talks like a scam, it’s best to stay away, because it’s a scam.</p>","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>Headed for the Moon?

Don't panic</b></h2>\n<p>First, if the market crashes, don't panic. Stock investors need to expect volatility in the market and be braced for it. Over the 50 years from 1970 to 2020, there were 28 stock market crashes or corrections of 10% or more, including six of 30% or more.

For example, at the time of this writing, popular growth stocks <b>The Trade Desk</b> (NASDAQ:TTD), <b>Twilio</b> (NYSE:TWLO), and <b>Redfin</b> (NASDAQ:RDFN) were all down between 45% and 50% from their all-time highs.

Don't sell in a rush</b></h2>\n<p>So how do you deal with stocks that suddenly plunge in price -- or fall significantly over a few weeks or months? Well, if it happens along with a sharp or gradual decline in the overall stock market, you probably have little to worry about and should just hang on.</p>\n<p>Many investors head for the exits when the market falls sharply -- and their doing so, with all that selling activity, fuels further market declines. In such a situation, it can be tempting to join the crowd and sell many or most of your stocks. That's typically very much the wrong thing to do, though. Ask yourself whether the companies behind your stocks have really seen their prospects change and whether you think their intrinsic value has changed.</p>\n<p>Selling can make sense if there has been a change in a company's competitiveness, in its financial health, or in its future prospects, or if there has been any other long-lasting or permanent change that makes it suddenly a less appealing investment. Otherwise, consider hanging on.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08d540da17c7c85f28ccca57440a9809\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"474\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><b>3. Don't forget -- stocks are on sale after a crash</b></h2>\n<p>Not only is it generally best to hang on to your stocks during and after a market correction or crash, it's also generally best to buy <i>more </i>shares of stock. After all, a widespread market sell-off means that many great stocks are on sale. Consider trying to keep a small portion of your portfolio in cash, in order to have it ready should the market drop.

Nestlé has begun selling a tuna substitute called Vuna and is working on scallops.“It’s a great opportunity to combine health with sustainability,” Mr. Palzer said of plant-based alternatives to milk and meat. “It’s also a great growth opportunity.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":194764608,"gmtCreate":1621402212004,"gmtModify":1704357056024,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Everything is rising again.

Sure, you can't match their gains simply by copying every single one of their stock picks, but it can still be helpful (and fruitful) to know what they've been up to.</p><p>Consider that the billionaires, hedge funds and big-time advisories listed below have a great deal at stake. And their resources for research, as well as their intimate connections to insiders and others, can give them unique insight into their stock picks.</p><p>Studying which stocks they're chasing with their capital (or whichstocks the billionaires are selling off, for that matter) can be an edifying exercise for retail investors.</p><p>After all, there's a reason the rich get richer.</p><p><b>Here are 30 of the most recent top stock picks from the billionaire class.</b>In each case, at least one billionaire – be it a person, hedge fund or advisory – has a substantial stake and/or added to its holdings. In most cases, these stocks are owned by multiple billionaire investors and billionaire investor firms. And while several of these investments are popular blue chips, others keep a much lower profile.</p><p>Either way, the smart money isn't kidding around when it comes to these stock picks.</p><p>Prices are as of May 28. Data is courtesy of S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, WhaleWisdom.com&nbsp;and regulatory filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stocks are ranked in reverse order of their weight in the selected billionaire investor's equity portfolio.</p><p>Walmart</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$400.0 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Ray Dalio (Bridgewater Associates)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>4.3%</li></ul><p>Ordinarily, we look for stocks that account for at least 5% of a billionaire investor's portfolio before including them on this list, but Bridgewater Associates' interest in<b>Walmart</b>(WMT, $142.03) is sort of a special case.</p><p>Legendary investor Ray Dalio's massive hedge fund – it has $223 billion in assets under management (AUM) – has nearly 11% of its portfolio sitting in an S&amp;P 500 index fund. Indeed, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY), with its 0.0945% expense ratio, is Bridgewater's largest holding.</p><p>The fund's second-largest holding is<i>also</i>an ETF. The Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) accounts for 5.1% of the hedge fund's total portfolio value.</p><p>So it's something of a feather in Walmart's cap that the world's largest retailer and Dow Jones Industrial Average component happens to be tops among Dalio's actual stock picks.</p><p>Indeed, in the first quarter of 2021, Bridgewater upped its WMT stake by 16%, or 512,347 shares. The total stake of 3.6 million shares, worth $487.8 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 4.3% of Bridgewater's total portfolio value.</p><p>Note well that Dalio, whose net worth is estimated at $20.3 billion, according to Forbes, is a big fan of Dow stocks and ETFs. In addition to WMT at No. 3, Bridegwater's top 10 holdings include stakes in Procter &amp; Gamble (PG), Coca-Cola (KO) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ), as well as the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) and the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG).</p><p>Amazon.com</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$1.6 trillion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Stephen Mandel (Lone Pine Capital)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.4%</li></ul><p>Hedge-fund legend Stephen Mandel stepped back from managing investments at Lone Pine Capital a couple years back, but he remains a managing director at the firm, and it still runs very much in his image.</p><p>That's probably a good thing, given that Mandel's investing acumen allowed him to accumulate a net worth of nearly $4 billion, per Forbes.</p><p>Lone Pine – based in the hedge-fund capital of the world, Greenwich, Connecticut – lists more than $27.5 billion in managed securities. Lately, it has been putting more cash to work in big-nametechnology stocks, and few get higher accolades from Wall Street analysts than<b>Amazon.com</b>(AMZN, $3,223.07).</p><p>Indeed, analysts say AMZN is one of thebest Nasdaq stocks you can buy, giving it a high conviction consensus recommendation of Strong Buy. That's due in no small part to the fact that they expect Amazon to generate average annual earnings per share growth of almost 35% over the next three to five years – this despite the fact that the e-commerce giant is already a $1.6 trillion company.</p><p>Lone Pine upped its bet on AMZN by 87%, or 224,618 shares, in the first quarter, bringing its total holdings to 481,744 shares. That stake, which was worth $1.5 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 5.4% of Lone Pine's total portfolio value, making it fifth among the hedge fund's stock picks.</p><p>Danaher</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$182.7 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Tran Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.4%</li></ul><p>Tran Capital Management, a hedge fund based in San Rafael, California, is incrementally more bullish on the life sciences industry.</p><p>Tran, with $1.1 billion in AUM, added 2,001 shares to its stake in<b>Danaher</b>(DHR, $256.14), which makes a variety of instruments and diagnostics equipment to support medical, industrial and commercial processes.</p><p>Tran now holds a total of 267,376 shares, which were worth $60.1 million at the end of Q1. The DHR stake is Tran's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 5.4% of its stock portfolio value. The hedge fund has been an investor in DHR since the first quarter of 2014, though even with the latest purchase, it still currently owns just 0.04% of the company's shares outstanding.</p><p>The Street is likewise bullish on this healthcare name, which stands to benefit from the pharmaceutical industry's ongoing efforts against the novel coronavirus. Indeed, analysts' consensus recommendation on DHR comes to Buy, according to S&amp;PGlobal MarketIntelligence.</p><p>\"We believe that Danaher is well positioned to help biopharma companies develop new medicines, including treatments and vaccines for COVID-19,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates DHR at Buy. \"We expect recent strong customer demand to be sustained over the remainder of 2021.\"</p><p>Abbott Laboratories</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$207.3 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Polen Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.6%</li></ul><p>Polen Capital Management's top four stock picks are a who's who of hot-growth, mega-cap tech stocks: Facebook (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), Google-parent Alphabet's Class C shares (GOOG) and Adobe (ADBE).</p><p>So it's kind of neat to see that the hedge fund's fifth-largest position is an income investor's dream.</p><p><b>Abbott Laboratories</b>(ABT, $116.65) is as stalwart a divided payer as they come. It's a member of the S&amp;P Dividend Aristocrats, an index ofdividend stocks that have increased their payouts annually for at least 25 consecutive years.</p><p>ABT, which manufactures a wide variety of healthcare goods, such as branded generic drugs, medical devices and nutrition and diagnostic products, has hiked its dividend for 49 years and counting. The last increase came in December: a whopping 25% improvement to 45 cents per share.</p><p>Polen, a hedge fund based in Boca Raton, Florida, with AUM of more than $46 billion, has owned a stake in ABT since the third quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its position by 1%, or 220,118 shares. Polen's total of 20.7 million shares was worth $2.5 billion at the end of Q1, and accounted for 5.6% of its portfolio value.</p><p>Importantly, Polen owns 1.2% of Abbott Lab's shares outstanding, putting it among the company's 15 largest investors.</p><p>UnitedHealth Group</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$388.7 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Allen Investment Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.7%</li></ul><p><b>UnitedHealth Group</b>(UNH, $411.92) is a hedge-fund favorite, and Wall Street gives it high marks too.</p><p>As the largest health insurer by both market value and revenue – and a member of the Dow Industrials to boot – UNH is sort of a must-have stock for institutional investors seeking broad exposure to the healthcare sector.</p><p>Meanwhile, analysts' consensus recommendation on the name comes to Buy. Of the 27 analysts covering the stock tracked by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, 16 rate UNH at Strong Buy, six say Buy, three have it at Hold and one calls it a Sell.</p><p>\"With the increase in Covid-19 vaccinations, we expect medical utilization patterns to return to normal levels, while at the same time we anticipate higher utilizations resulting from missed medical visits and delayed electives,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates the stock at Strong Buy.</p><p>So it's only fitting that Allen Investment Management, a New York hedge fund with $9.3 billion in AUM, upped its stake in UNH by 2%, or 21,086 shares, during the first quarter.</p><p>At 5.7% of the portfolio, UNH is the fund's third-largest position, trailing only Allen stock picks Alphabet Class C shares and Facebook. The hedge fund's stake of 990,525 shares was worth $368.5 million at the end of the first quarter.</p><p>Gaming and Leisure Properties</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$10.8 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Gates Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.0%</li></ul><p>Gates Capital Management is a fan of one of Wall Street pros' favorite Nasdaq stocks. The New York hedge fund with $3 billion in AUM upped its stake in<b>Gaming and Leisure Properties</b>(GLPI, $46.36) by 35%, or more than 1 million shares, during the first quarter.</p><p>Gates Capital now holds 3.9 million shares in thisreal estate investment trust (REIT)– a stake worth $165.6 million as of March 31.</p><p>Analysts like this casino real estate play thanks to both a snazzy dividend yield and attractive growth prospects coming out of the pandemic. The company, whose properties include the Belle of Baton Rouge and Argosy Casino Riverside in Missouri, collected 100% of its rents in 2020.</p><p>Mizuho Securities initiated coverage of Gaming and Leisure Properties at Buy in late March, citing its unique attributes in an industry set to benefit from a recovery in consumer spending and gaming revenue.</p><p>\"GLPI is the most diversified of the three Gaming REITs, with strong underlying tenant credit and structural lease enhancements, resulting in a lower-risk platform that we believe is under-appreciated by the market,\" writes Mizuho analyst Haendel St. Juste.</p><p>Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy, according to S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.</p><p>The bull case for GLPI makes it easy to understand why Gates Capital increased its exposure to a stock it first bought back in 2013. The hedge fund holds 1.7% of GLPI's shares outstanding, making it the REIT's 12th largest investor.</p><p>S&amp;P Global</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$91.4 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Chris Hohn (TCI Fund Management)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.0%</li></ul><p>Activist investor Chris Hohn has made quite a name for himself with The Children's Investment Fund Management – more commonly known as TCI Fund Management. Indeed, the London-based investor has parlayed his many stock picks into a personal net worth of $5.9 billion, per Forbes.</p><p>TCI, with more than $34 billion in managed securities, made a handful of moves in Q1, and none was bigger in percentage terms than its doubling down (and then some) on<b>S&amp;P Global</b>(SPGI, $379.47).</p><p>Hohn increased the fund's stake in SPGI by 147% – by far its largest addition of the quarter in percentage terms – adding 3.5 million shares. TCI now owns 5.9 million shares in the company behind S&amp;P Global Ratings, S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence and S&amp;P Global Platts.</p><p>The stake, worth $2.1 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 6.0% of TCI's portfolio value, and gives Hohn ownership of 2.4% of S&amp;P's shares outstanding. That makes TCI the company's sixth-largest shareholder.</p><p>Although most investors probably know S&amp;P for its majority stake in S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices – which maintains the benchmark S&amp;P 500 index and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average – it's also a central player in corporate and financial analytics, information and research.</p><p>Dedicated long-term income investors probably already know thatSPGI happens to be a Dividend Aristocrat. The company has increased its dividend annually for nearly half a century.</p><p>AbbVie</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$199.9 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Avidity Partners Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.3%</li></ul><p><b>AbbVie</b>(ABBV, $113.20) was spun off from the above-mentioned Abbott Laboratories in 2013. It too, is a Dividend Aristocrat, having lifted its dividend annually for almost half a century.</p><p>Consumers best know the pharma firm for Humira, a blockbuster drug for rheumatoid arthritis that has been approved for numerous other ailments. AbbVie also makes cancer drug Imbruvica, as well as testosterone replacement therapy AndroGel.</p><p>Avidity Partners Management, a Dallas hedge fund with AUM of $6.2 billion, focuses primarily on stock picks in the healthcare sector, and it has been a fan of AbbVie since the fourth quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its stake in the pharma giant by 53%, or 721,200 shares. Avidity now holds a total of nearly 2.1 million shares in ABBV, worth $225 million at the end of Q1.</p><p>At 6.3% of its equity portfolio, AbbVie is Avidity's single largest position. That's up from 4.7% about three months ago.</p><p>The Street is a solid fan of ABBV, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with 11 Strong Buy ratings, six Buys and five Hold calls. One analyst has a Sell recommendation on the stock.</p><p>\"AbbVie is developing new growth drivers to help offset slowing sales of Humira, still its largest product by revenue,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates the stock at Buy. \"We expect continued strong growth from the oncology portfolio and newer immunology drugs in 2021.\"</p><p>Applied Materials</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$126.2 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Bristol Gate Capital Partners</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.3%</li></ul><p>Bristol Gate Capital Partners, a Toronto hedge fund with AUM of $1.7 billion, initiated a position in<b>Applied Materials</b>(AMAT, $138.13) in the first quarter.</p><p>And what a commitment it was. The new purchase of 783,931 shares, worth $105 million at the end of Q1, vaulted the position to Bristol Gate's top holding, accounting for 6.3% of its portfolio.</p><p>Applied Materials, which provides manufacturing equipment and technology to the semiconductor industry, is an allied play on the global chip shortage. Indeed, relentless demand for semiconductors from a wide range of industries has helped AMAT stock jump about 60% for the year-to-date.</p><p>The Street is heavily bullish on the name, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, according to S&amp;P Global Market Research. The high opinion stems in part from the Street's forecast for EPS to increase at an average annual rate of nearly 19% over the next three to five years.</p><p>\"We believe underlying secular drivers are robust, broad-based and multi-year in nature,\" writes B. Riley analyst Craig Ellis, who rates AMAT at Buy.</p><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$445.7 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>ACR Alpine Capital Research</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.3%</li></ul><p>ACR Alpine Capital Research, a large advisory with $2.5 billion in AUM, has been a long-time fan of blue-chip<b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>(JNJ, $169.25). The St. Louis-based asset manager first invested in the Dow stock at the end of 2010, and it added incrementally to the position in Q1.</p><p>ACR upped its stake in the multifaceted pharma giant by 1%, or 8,790 shares, bringing its total holdings to 704,842 shares. The stake, worth $115.8 million at quarter's end, is at the tail end of the advisory's top 10 stock picks, taking up 6.3% of ACR's total portfolio value.</p><p>Analysts have a consensus recommendation of Buy on JNJ. Among the arguments in favor of the stock, bulls point to its strong pharmaceutical pipeline, as well as a rebound in demand for medical devices as patients undergo elective procedures put off during the pandemic.</p><p>\"We expect the recovery in elective procedures and patient visit volumes to accelerate as the pandemic is starting to get under control in the U.S., which should result in a strong recovery in Medical Devices sales and solid growth in Pharma revenues,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates shares at Buy.</p><p>Investors and analysts alike no doubt also appreciate the company's commitment to delivering income to investors.

And well it should, if analysts are right about this name.</p><p>The Street's consensus recommendation on FB stands at Strong Buy, as analysts forecast the company to deliver truly impressive profit growth for some time.</p><p>\"We believe Facebook's share gains during the pandemic and new initiatives in e-commerce can drive many years of above-market growth,\" writes Stifel analyst John Egbert (Buy). \"We are comfortable with the potential outcomes of antitrust inquiries and believe FB shares offer investors a rare combination of growth and value relative to its peers.\"</p><p>Seagen</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$28.2 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Felix and Julian Baker (Baker Bros. Advisors)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>29.7%</li></ul><p><b>Seagen</b>(SGEN, $155.35), a biotechnology firm specializing in oncology treatments, couldn't get a bigger vote of confidence than being the top holding of Baker Bros. Advisors.</p><p>This New York-based hedge fund with $35.8 billion in AUM is led by billionaire biotech investors Julian and Felix Baker. The brothers may keep a low profile, but they're plenty famous in the world ofbiotech stocks. A series of successful investments have allowed the Bakers to build an estimated combined fortune of about $4 billion, according to Forbes.</p><p>And judging by their latest regulatory filings, the brothers have great expectations for Seagen, too. The stock pick accounts for nearly 30% of the total value of the Baker Bros.' holdings, up from 28.5% three months ago.</p><p>The increase stems in part from Baker Bros. buying another 347,745 shares in SGEN in the first quarter of 2021. The fund's total holdings of 47.6 million shares were worth more than $7 billion at the end of Q1.</p><p>The stake gives Baker Bros. ownership of 26.3% of SGEN's shares outstanding, which makes it the biotech company's largest shareholder by a wide margin. The second-largest investor – Capital Research and Management – holds only 8.6% of SGEN's shares outstanding.</p><p>The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.</p><p>TRENDING TOPICS</p><p>TRENDING ARTICLES</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>30 Top Stock Picks That Billionaires Love</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\">\n30 Top Stock Picks That Billionaires Love\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-02 11:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/30-top-stock-picks-that-billionaires-love-2021-06-01><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It's always interesting to see what billionaire investors are doing with their money.

Sure, you can't match their gains simply by copying every single one of their stock picks, but it can still be helpful (and fruitful) to know what they've been up to.Consider that the billionaires, hedge funds and big-time advisories listed below have a great deal at stake. And their resources for research, as well as their intimate connections to insiders and others, can give them unique insight into their stock picks.Studying which stocks they're chasing with their capital (or whichstocks the billionaires are selling off, for that matter) can be an edifying exercise for retail investors.After all, there's a reason the rich get richer.Here are 30 of the most recent top stock picks from the billionaire class.In each case, at least one billionaire – be it a person, hedge fund or advisory – has a substantial stake and/or added to its holdings. In most cases, these stocks are owned by multiple billionaire investors and billionaire investor firms. And while several of these investments are popular blue chips, others keep a much lower profile.Either way, the smart money isn't kidding around when it comes to these stock picks.Prices are as of May 28. Data is courtesy of S&P Global Market Intelligence, WhaleWisdom.com and regulatory filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stocks are ranked in reverse order of their weight in the selected billionaire investor's equity portfolio.WalmartMarket value:$400.0 billionBillionaire investor:Ray Dalio (Bridgewater Associates)Percent of portfolio:4.3%Ordinarily, we look for stocks that account for at least 5% of a billionaire investor's portfolio before including them on this list, but Bridgewater Associates' interest inWalmart(WMT, $142.03) is sort of a special case.Legendary investor Ray Dalio's massive hedge fund – it has $223 billion in assets under management (AUM) – has nearly 11% of its portfolio sitting in an S&P 500 index fund. Indeed, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), with its 0.0945% expense ratio, is Bridgewater's largest holding.The fund's second-largest holding isalsoan ETF. The Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) accounts for 5.1% of the hedge fund's total portfolio value.So it's something of a feather in Walmart's cap that the world's largest retailer and Dow Jones Industrial Average component happens to be tops among Dalio's actual stock picks.Indeed, in the first quarter of 2021, Bridgewater upped its WMT stake by 16%, or 512,347 shares. The total stake of 3.6 million shares, worth $487.8 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 4.3% of Bridgewater's total portfolio value.Note well that Dalio, whose net worth is estimated at $20.3 billion, according to Forbes, is a big fan of Dow stocks and ETFs. In addition to WMT at No. 3, Bridegwater's top 10 holdings include stakes in Procter & Gamble (PG), Coca-Cola (KO) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), as well as the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) and the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG).Amazon.comMarket value:$1.6 trillionBillionaire investor:Stephen Mandel (Lone Pine Capital)Percent of portfolio:5.4%Hedge-fund legend Stephen Mandel stepped back from managing investments at Lone Pine Capital a couple years back, but he remains a managing director at the firm, and it still runs very much in his image.That's probably a good thing, given that Mandel's investing acumen allowed him to accumulate a net worth of nearly $4 billion, per Forbes.Lone Pine – based in the hedge-fund capital of the world, Greenwich, Connecticut – lists more than $27.5 billion in managed securities. Lately, it has been putting more cash to work in big-nametechnology stocks, and few get higher accolades from Wall Street analysts thanAmazon.com(AMZN, $3,223.07).Indeed, analysts say AMZN is one of thebest Nasdaq stocks you can buy, giving it a high conviction consensus recommendation of Strong Buy. That's due in no small part to the fact that they expect Amazon to generate average annual earnings per share growth of almost 35% over the next three to five years – this despite the fact that the e-commerce giant is already a $1.6 trillion company.Lone Pine upped its bet on AMZN by 87%, or 224,618 shares, in the first quarter, bringing its total holdings to 481,744 shares. That stake, which was worth $1.5 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 5.4% of Lone Pine's total portfolio value, making it fifth among the hedge fund's stock picks.DanaherMarket value:$182.7 billionBillionaire investor:Tran Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.4%Tran Capital Management, a hedge fund based in San Rafael, California, is incrementally more bullish on the life sciences industry.Tran, with $1.1 billion in AUM, added 2,001 shares to its stake inDanaher(DHR, $256.14), which makes a variety of instruments and diagnostics equipment to support medical, industrial and commercial processes.Tran now holds a total of 267,376 shares, which were worth $60.1 million at the end of Q1. The DHR stake is Tran's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 5.4% of its stock portfolio value. The hedge fund has been an investor in DHR since the first quarter of 2014, though even with the latest purchase, it still currently owns just 0.04% of the company's shares outstanding.The Street is likewise bullish on this healthcare name, which stands to benefit from the pharmaceutical industry's ongoing efforts against the novel coronavirus. Indeed, analysts' consensus recommendation on DHR comes to Buy, according to S&PGlobal MarketIntelligence.\"We believe that Danaher is well positioned to help biopharma companies develop new medicines, including treatments and vaccines for COVID-19,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates DHR at Buy. \"We expect recent strong customer demand to be sustained over the remainder of 2021.\"Abbott LaboratoriesMarket value:$207.3 billionBillionaire investor:Polen Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.6%Polen Capital Management's top four stock picks are a who's who of hot-growth, mega-cap tech stocks: Facebook (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), Google-parent Alphabet's Class C shares (GOOG) and Adobe (ADBE).So it's kind of neat to see that the hedge fund's fifth-largest position is an income investor's dream.Abbott Laboratories(ABT, $116.65) is as stalwart a divided payer as they come. It's a member of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats, an index ofdividend stocks that have increased their payouts annually for at least 25 consecutive years.ABT, which manufactures a wide variety of healthcare goods, such as branded generic drugs, medical devices and nutrition and diagnostic products, has hiked its dividend for 49 years and counting. The last increase came in December: a whopping 25% improvement to 45 cents per share.Polen, a hedge fund based in Boca Raton, Florida, with AUM of more than $46 billion, has owned a stake in ABT since the third quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its position by 1%, or 220,118 shares. Polen's total of 20.7 million shares was worth $2.5 billion at the end of Q1, and accounted for 5.6% of its portfolio value.Importantly, Polen owns 1.2% of Abbott Lab's shares outstanding, putting it among the company's 15 largest investors.UnitedHealth GroupMarket value:$388.7 billionBillionaire investor:Allen Investment ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.7%UnitedHealth Group(UNH, $411.92) is a hedge-fund favorite, and Wall Street gives it high marks too.As the largest health insurer by both market value and revenue – and a member of the Dow Industrials to boot – UNH is sort of a must-have stock for institutional investors seeking broad exposure to the healthcare sector.Meanwhile, analysts' consensus recommendation on the name comes to Buy. Of the 27 analysts covering the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 16 rate UNH at Strong Buy, six say Buy, three have it at Hold and one calls it a Sell.\"With the increase in Covid-19 vaccinations, we expect medical utilization patterns to return to normal levels, while at the same time we anticipate higher utilizations resulting from missed medical visits and delayed electives,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates the stock at Strong Buy.So it's only fitting that Allen Investment Management, a New York hedge fund with $9.3 billion in AUM, upped its stake in UNH by 2%, or 21,086 shares, during the first quarter.At 5.7% of the portfolio, UNH is the fund's third-largest position, trailing only Allen stock picks Alphabet Class C shares and Facebook. The hedge fund's stake of 990,525 shares was worth $368.5 million at the end of the first quarter.Gaming and Leisure PropertiesMarket value:$10.8 billionBillionaire investor:Gates Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:6.0%Gates Capital Management is a fan of one of Wall Street pros' favorite Nasdaq stocks. The New York hedge fund with $3 billion in AUM upped its stake inGaming and Leisure Properties(GLPI, $46.36) by 35%, or more than 1 million shares, during the first quarter.Gates Capital now holds 3.9 million shares in thisreal estate investment trust (REIT)– a stake worth $165.6 million as of March 31.Analysts like this casino real estate play thanks to both a snazzy dividend yield and attractive growth prospects coming out of the pandemic. The company, whose properties include the Belle of Baton Rouge and Argosy Casino Riverside in Missouri, collected 100% of its rents in 2020.Mizuho Securities initiated coverage of Gaming and Leisure Properties at Buy in late March, citing its unique attributes in an industry set to benefit from a recovery in consumer spending and gaming revenue.\"GLPI is the most diversified of the three Gaming REITs, with strong underlying tenant credit and structural lease enhancements, resulting in a lower-risk platform that we believe is under-appreciated by the market,\" writes Mizuho analyst Haendel St. Juste.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.The bull case for GLPI makes it easy to understand why Gates Capital increased its exposure to a stock it first bought back in 2013. The hedge fund holds 1.7% of GLPI's shares outstanding, making it the REIT's 12th largest investor.S&P GlobalMarket value:$91.4 billionBillionaire investor:Chris Hohn (TCI Fund Management)Percent of portfolio:6.0%Activist investor Chris Hohn has made quite a name for himself with The Children's Investment Fund Management – more commonly known as TCI Fund Management. Indeed, the London-based investor has parlayed his many stock picks into a personal net worth of $5.9 billion, per Forbes.TCI, with more than $34 billion in managed securities, made a handful of moves in Q1, and none was bigger in percentage terms than its doubling down (and then some) onS&P Global(SPGI, $379.47).Hohn increased the fund's stake in SPGI by 147% – by far its largest addition of the quarter in percentage terms – adding 3.5 million shares. TCI now owns 5.9 million shares in the company behind S&P Global Ratings, S&P Global Market Intelligence and S&P Global Platts.The stake, worth $2.1 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 6.0% of TCI's portfolio value, and gives Hohn ownership of 2.4% of S&P's shares outstanding. That makes TCI the company's sixth-largest shareholder.Although most investors probably know S&P for its majority stake in S&P Dow Jones Indices – which maintains the benchmark S&P 500 index and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average – it's also a central player in corporate and financial analytics, information and research.Dedicated long-term income investors probably already know thatSPGI happens to be a Dividend Aristocrat. The company has increased its dividend annually for nearly half a century.AbbVieMarket value:$199.9 billionBillionaire investor:Avidity Partners ManagementPercent of portfolio:6.3%AbbVie(ABBV, $113.20) was spun off from the above-mentioned Abbott Laboratories in 2013. It too, is a Dividend Aristocrat, having lifted its dividend annually for almost half a century.Consumers best know the pharma firm for Humira, a blockbuster drug for rheumatoid arthritis that has been approved for numerous other ailments. AbbVie also makes cancer drug Imbruvica, as well as testosterone replacement therapy AndroGel.Avidity Partners Management, a Dallas hedge fund with AUM of $6.2 billion, focuses primarily on stock picks in the healthcare sector, and it has been a fan of AbbVie since the fourth quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its stake in the pharma giant by 53%, or 721,200 shares. Avidity now holds a total of nearly 2.1 million shares in ABBV, worth $225 million at the end of Q1.At 6.3% of its equity portfolio, AbbVie is Avidity's single largest position. That's up from 4.7% about three months ago.The Street is a solid fan of ABBV, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with 11 Strong Buy ratings, six Buys and five Hold calls. One analyst has a Sell recommendation on the stock.\"AbbVie is developing new growth drivers to help offset slowing sales of Humira, still its largest product by revenue,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates the stock at Buy. \"We expect continued strong growth from the oncology portfolio and newer immunology drugs in 2021.\"Applied MaterialsMarket value:$126.2 billionBillionaire investor:Bristol Gate Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:6.3%Bristol Gate Capital Partners, a Toronto hedge fund with AUM of $1.7 billion, initiated a position inApplied Materials(AMAT, $138.13) in the first quarter.And what a commitment it was. The new purchase of 783,931 shares, worth $105 million at the end of Q1, vaulted the position to Bristol Gate's top holding, accounting for 6.3% of its portfolio.Applied Materials, which provides manufacturing equipment and technology to the semiconductor industry, is an allied play on the global chip shortage. Indeed, relentless demand for semiconductors from a wide range of industries has helped AMAT stock jump about 60% for the year-to-date.The Street is heavily bullish on the name, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, according to S&P Global Market Research. The high opinion stems in part from the Street's forecast for EPS to increase at an average annual rate of nearly 19% over the next three to five years.\"We believe underlying secular drivers are robust, broad-based and multi-year in nature,\" writes B. Riley analyst Craig Ellis, who rates AMAT at Buy.Johnson & JohnsonMarket value:$445.7 billionBillionaire investor:ACR Alpine Capital ResearchPercent of portfolio:6.3%ACR Alpine Capital Research, a large advisory with $2.5 billion in AUM, has been a long-time fan of blue-chipJohnson & Johnson(JNJ, $169.25). The St. Louis-based asset manager first invested in the Dow stock at the end of 2010, and it added incrementally to the position in Q1.ACR upped its stake in the multifaceted pharma giant by 1%, or 8,790 shares, bringing its total holdings to 704,842 shares. The stake, worth $115.8 million at quarter's end, is at the tail end of the advisory's top 10 stock picks, taking up 6.3% of ACR's total portfolio value.Analysts have a consensus recommendation of Buy on JNJ. Among the arguments in favor of the stock, bulls point to its strong pharmaceutical pipeline, as well as a rebound in demand for medical devices as patients undergo elective procedures put off during the pandemic.\"We expect the recovery in elective procedures and patient visit volumes to accelerate as the pandemic is starting to get under control in the U.S., which should result in a strong recovery in Medical Devices sales and solid growth in Pharma revenues,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates shares at Buy.Investors and analysts alike no doubt also appreciate the company's commitment to delivering income to investors. JNJ announced a 5% quarterly dividend increase in April 2021, to $1.06 per share from $1.01 per share. That marked this Dividend Aristocrat's 59th consecutive year of dividend increases.XilinxMarket value:$31.2 billionBillionaire investor:Canyon Capital AdvisorsPercent of portfolio:7.0%Canyon Capital Advisors, with AUM of $20.9 billion, has propelled founders Joshua Friedman and Mitchell Julis to Forbes' list of highest-earning hedge fund millionaires.So it's of interest that the Los Angeles-based fund significantly pared back on its two largest stock picks in Q1 – while greatly increasing its bet on chipmakerXilinx(XLNX, $127.00).In October 2020, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Xilinx announced a deal in which AMD would acquire the latter in an all-stock transaction valued at $35 billion.Canyon first bought shares in Xilinx in the fourth quarter of 2020, at which point the stake accounted for 4.6% of the fund's portfolio value. Then in Q1, Canyon upped its XLNX holdings by 89%, or 672,829 shares.The hedge fund's total stake of 1.4 million shares, worth $176.3 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 7.0% of its portfolio value.Canyon, with ownership of 0.58% of XLNX's shares outstanding, is a top-30 stockholder in the soon-to-be-acquired company. AMD and Xilinx expect their deal to close at the end of 2021.Analysts' consensus recommendation on XLNX stands at Hold, pending the deal close. They do, however, rate AMD at Buy, and generally applaud the strategic rationale of merging the two chipmakers' complementary assets.D.R. HortonMarket value:$34.4 billionBillionaire investor:George Soros (Soros Fund Management)Percent of portfolio:7.4%Legendary hedge-fund tycoon George Soros, with an estimated net worth of $8.6 billion, per Forbes, today spends his days running Soros Fund Management.The New York-based family office – a sort of private hedge fund – has $5.3 billion in AUM, and one of its biggest stock picks is a bet on the severe shortage of new homes for sale.Soros first took a stake in homebuilderD.R. Horton(DHI, $95.29) during the first quarter of 2019, and he apparently remains bullish on the outlook. After all, the billionaire increased his DHI stake by 19%, or 703,850 shares, in the first quarter.Soros Fund Management's most recent investment makes DHI its second-largest holding, at 7.4% of the portfolio. The stake of 4.4 million shares – worth $392.8 million at the end of Q1 – equals 1.2% of the homebuilder's shares outstanding. As such, Soros Fund Management is D.R. Horton's 15th largest shareholder.With a consensus recommendation of Buy, per S&P Global Market Intelligence, the Street is also bullish on the name.\"With inventory constraints growing across the industry and buyer demand still nearly insatiable, we think DHI remains in an extraordinarily strong position to gain further market share and leverage its sector-leading scale,\" writes Raymond James analyst Buck Horne, who rates shares at Outperform (the equivalent of Buy).MicrosoftMarket value:$1.9 trillionBillionaire investor:Chase Coleman III (Tiger Global Management)Percent of portfolio:7.4%Hedge-fund legend Chase Coleman III, with a net worth of $10.3 billion, according to Forbes, upped his bet onMicrosoft(MSFT, $249.68) in the first quarter of 2021.And he did so in a compelling fashion.Coleman's Tiger Global Management ($79 billion AUM) increased its stake in MSFT by 15%, or 1.8 million shares, in the first three months of the year. The hedge fund now owns a total of 13.7 million shares, worth $3.2 billion at the end of Q1.The MSFT stake, which accounts for 7.4% of Tiger Global's portfolio value, is second only to its bet on Chinese e-commerce company JD.com (JD), which is top among Coleman's stock picks at 9.9% of the portfolio.Tiger Global first bought MSFT in the fourth quarter of 2016, and adding to the stake certainly makes sense. Wall Street analysts mostly adore this component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.After all, MSFT – the second-largest U.S. company by market value after Apple (AAPL) – lands among the pro's11 best Nasdaq stocks you can buy. Analysts' consensus recommendation on MSFT comes to Strong Buy, with 26 Strong Buy calls, 11 Buys and one Hold rating.TeslaMarket value:$602.3 billionBillionaire investor:Ark InvestPercent of portfolio:7.6%Ark Invest features prominently in the financial news these days, thanks to the strong performance of several of its actively managed exchange-traded funds.Indeed, as Kiplinger has noted, 2020 was the year of Cathie Wood, CEO and founder of Ark Invest, who steered its then-five separate actively managed innovation-themed funds to the ranks ofthe best-performing equity ETFsof the year.In addition to ETFs, Ark offers managed accounts and other products and services aimed at high net worth investors. Thanks to the various products and services it offers, the firm has amassed more than $55 billion in AUM.So it says something when Ark's single-largest holding isTesla(TSLA, $625.22) – especially since the firm is increasing its exposure to the electric vehicle maker at an accelerating pace.Ark boosted its TSLA position by 39%, or 1.7 million shares, during the first quarter of 2021. The stake, which accounts for 7.6% of Ark Investment Management's equity portfolio, was worth nearly $4 billion at the end of Q1.It's not hard to see why Wood likes TSLA so much. Her investment approach focuses on innovation, and Tesla, led by the mercurial Elon Musk, is nothing if not innovative.ComcastMarket value:$263.4 billionBillionaire investor:Rothschild & Company Wealth Management UKPercent of portfolio:9.0%Rothschild & Company Wealth Management UK, a London-based hedge fund with $16.4 billion in AUM, is increasingly bullish onComcast(CMCSA, $57.34).Welcome to the club.The nation's largest cable company regularly makes the list ofhedge funds' favorite stock picks. That's because its combination of content, broadband, pay TV, theme parks and movies is unparalleled by rivals, and gives thisblue-chip stocka huge strategic advantage.CMCSA's diversification came in especially handy last year when the pandemic walloped theme parks, cinemas and spending on advertising.\"While the pandemic has materially impacted Comcast, the company's steady cable division continues to provide vital connectivity for its large base of 23 million subscribers,\" writes Argus Research analyst Joseph Bonner (Buy).Rothschild first bought shares in the cable operator in the first quarter of 2019, and most recently upped its bet by 2%, or 194,324 shares. The hedge fund's total holdings of 9.2 million shares, worth $500.2 million at the end of Q1, accounted for 9.0% of its portfolio. CMCSA is now Rothchild's sixth-largest position.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the stock comes to Buy, per S&P Global Market Intelligence, with 20 Strong Buy ratings, nine Buys, four Holds and one Strong Sell. The Street expects the company to deliver average annual EPS growth of nearly 16% over the next three to five years.AptivMarket value:$40.7 billionBillionaire investor:Caxton AssociatesPercent of portfolio:9.4%Billionaire philanthropist Bruce Kovner, with an estimated net worth of $6.6 billion, retired from his management role at Caxton Associates a decade ago. But the hedge fund he founded continues to rake in the bucks with his global macroeconomic trading strategies.Indeed, Caxton last year closed its flagship fund to new money after posting record 40% gains during the pandemic. And the firm shows no signs of slowing down.Caxton, with AUM of $25.7 billion, has ownedAptiv(APTV, $150.42) since the first quarter of 2019, but it really went all in earlier this year.Caxton upped its stake in APTV by 61%, or 285,618 shares. Indeed, the purchase made APTV the fund's top stock pick, accounting for 9.4% of the portfolio, up from 4.2% three months ago. Caxton's 747,843 shares were worth $103.1 million at the end of Q1.Shares in Aptiv, which makes safety, connectivity and green technology for vehicles, have essentially doubled over the past 52 weeks, and analysts say they have more room to run.\"Aptiv indeed is not only benefitting from accelerating industry adoption of vehicle electrification, advanced driver-assistance systems, and connected vehicle technologies, but also achieving dominant win rates in several of these areas based on its complete system knowledge, and software-based flexible architectures,\" writes Deutsche Bank analyst Emmanuel Rosner (Buy).AdobeMarket value:$241.2 billionBillionaire investor:Atalan Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:9.6%Atalan Capital Partners, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $2 billion, boosted its stake inAdobe(ADBE, $504.58) in Q1, which vaulted the software company into the No. 2 spot among its stock picks.Atalan increased its holdings by 38%, or 82,000 shares, in Q1, lifting its total stake to 295,000 shares worth $140.2 million as of March 31. The position accounts for 9.6% of the portfolio.Atalan first picked up ADBE in the second quarter of 2020, which was not the best timing. Shares are up just about 16% since June 30 of last year, lagging the S&P 500 by roughly 20 percentage points.That's not to say ADBE stock won't continue to be a winner in the longer run. Analysts tend to be heavily bullish on the name, thanks to its dominance in its field. After all, Adobe is the undisputed leader in making software for designers and other creative types. Its software arsenal includes Photoshop, Premiere Pro for video editing and Dreamweaver for website design, among others.\"As a result of its early-mover position and strategic M&A transactions, Adobe has established itself as the unchallenged leader in Creative software,\" writes Stifel analyst Jeffrey Parker Lane (Buy). \"We view Adobe as one of the most compelling investment cases in our coverage areas.\"The Street's consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with an annual EPS growth forecast of more than 15% over the next three to five years.Thermo Fisher ScientificMarket value:$184.5 billionBillionaire investor:Cryder Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:9.7%Thermo Fisher Scientific(TMO, $469.50), is sometimes called the \"Amazon of the healthcare industry\" because of its wide-ranging portfolio of life sciences products, analytics and laboratory instruments.As such, it has been highly active in the fight against COVID-19, which in turn has raised its profile and investor interest. And although TMO has been a holding of Cryder Capital Partners since 2015, the hedge fund remains an incremental buyer.London-based Cryder Capital, with $1 billion in AUM, lifted its stake in TMO by 2%, or 6,398 shares, during the first three months of the year. The hedge fund now holds a total of 298,587 shares, worth $136.3 million as of March 31. Despite a high weight of 9.7%, TMO is just seventh largest among the fund's stock picks.Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Strong Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Argus Research is just one research shop in the bull camp.\"Thermo is seeing strong demand for COVID-19 testing solutions as well as for instruments and supplies used by developers of vaccines and other treatments,\" writes analyst David Toung (Buy). \"But the company is also investing its substantial cash flow in technology upgrades, capacity expansions and acquisitions.\"With an average target price of $557.17, the Street gives TMO stock implied upside of about 18% in the next 12 months or so.VisaMarket value:$484.8 billionBillionaire investor:Valley Forge Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:10.2%Visa(V, $227.30) routinely makes most lists of analysts', hedge funds' or billionaires' favorite stocks.Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)owns a stake worth more than $2 billion, although chairman and CEO Warren Buffett readily credits the holding to one of his stock-picking lieutenants.And indeed, there is much to like about this Dow stock. Visa operates the world's largest payments network, and thus is well-positioned to benefit from the growth of cashless transactions and digital mobile payments.The Street's consensus recommendation is a high-conviction Buy. Of the analysts covering the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 21 call V a Strong Buy, 12 rate it at Buy, four say Hold and one calls it a Sell.Valley Forge Capital Management, a hedge fund in Wayne, Pennsylvania, with $1.1 billion in AUM, is certainly a big believer. Visa accounts for 10.2% of its equity portfolio.The fund increased its Visa stake by 88%, or 477,181 shares, in Q1. It now holds more than 1 million shares worth $215 million as of March 31. Mind you, Valley Forge Capital is hardly a novice in this stock. The fund has counted Visa among its stock picks since 2016.Although the pandemic greatly curtailed spending in a number of Visa's categories – most notably travel and entertainment – those headwinds should now be in the past. Indeed, the gradual global reopening – and accelerating secular growth in cashless payments, helped by the perception that cash is \"dirty\" – make a solid bull case for Visa stock.IntelMarket value:$230.7 billionBillionaire investor:Cavalry Management GroupPercent of portfolio:10.4%Intel(INTC, $57.12) has fallen far behind the competition on any number of fronts, which is why analysts and investors were so delighted when the chipmaker hired Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of VMWare (VMW), to take over in February.Heck, some observers said it was the best decision the troubled company made in more than a decade. And, indeed, this Dow stock has been a disappointing performer. Shares are up just 3% over the past three years vs. a gain of 54% for the S&P 500.So props to Cavalry Management Group for making a bold bet on the semiconductor company earlier this year. The San Francisco hedge fund with $2.6 billion in AUM initiated a large enough position to instantly make Intel its top stock pick.Cavalry Management bought 1.7 million shares during the first three months of 2021. With a value of $111.6 million at the end of Q1, INTC accounted for more than 10% of the hedge fund's investments.Cavalry largely focuses on large-cap tech stocks, so Intel certainly fits well with its broader strategy. Other moves the fund made in Q1 included more than tripling its stake in Microsoft, and almost doubling its holdings in Ericsson (ERIC).The Street is generally more cautious on INTC than Cavalry Management is. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Hold, per S&P Global Market Intelligence.PayPal HoldingsMarket value:$305.5 billionBillionaire investor:Dorsey Asset ManagementPercent of portfolio:11.8%Digital mobile payments and the expansion of cashless transactions are one of the hottest areas of growth in financial tech. And although the sector offers no shortage of promising new names, old-timerPayPal Holdings(PYPL, $260.02) still gets plenty of analyst – and billionaire investor – love.Explosive growth in mobile transactions, the monetization of its Venmo property and incremental revenue growth in its Xoom business all help make for a compelling bull case on PYPL, analysts say.\"Simply put, PayPal should continue to benefit from the secular shift to e-commerce that should drive a roughly 20% revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR), which, coupled with margin expansion and capital allocation (mergers & acquisitions plus stock buybacks), should result in an earnings CAGR north of 20% over the next several years,\" writes Raymond James analyst John Davis, who rates the stock at Outperform (the equivalent of Buy).Dorsey Asset Management, with $1.3 billion in AUM, embraces the bull case on PYPL in a big way. The Chicago-based hedge fund increased its stake in PayPal by 81%, or 209,025 shares, in Q1. Its total holdings of 465,266 shares, worth $113 million as of March 31, comprises 11.8% of its stock investments.That's up from 7.9% of the portfolio three months ago. PYPL, which Dorsey has owned since the second quarter of 2018, is now its fifth-largest position.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the stock stands at Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.Howard HughesMarket value:$5.8 billionBillionaire investor:Bill Ackman (Pershing Square Capital)Percent of portfolio:12.1%No one doubts Bill Ackman's investing acumen. His Pershing Square Capital hedge fund has allowed the investor to amass a personal fortune of $3 billion, per Forbes.And he's never been one to shy away from the media. So his increasing stake inHoward Hughes Corp.(HHC, $105.83) is far from a state secret. Indeed, Ackman has owned shares in the master-planned community developer since it was spun off from General Growth Properties in 2010.Given Ackman's propensity for being anactivist investor, his latest purchase is eyebrow-raising news, nonetheless.The hedge-fund billionaire increased his stake in HHC by 23%, or 2.6 million shares, in Q1. Pershing Square's stake of 13.5 million shares was worth $1.3 billion at the first quarter's end.Most notably, Ackman now holds almost a quarter of HHC's shares outstanding. That makes the hedge fund the company's largest investor by a wide margin. Asset manager Vanguard, at No. 2, owns just 10.8% of HHC.Meanwhile, HHC, at 12.1% of its portfolio, is now Pershing Square Capital's sixth-largest position.For those keeping score at home, HHC stock has doubled over the past 52 weeks vs. a gain of about 38% for the S&P 500. For the year-to-date, it's up by more than a third. That compares with the broader market's gain of about 12% so far this year.Only three analysts cover HHC, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. One rates it at Strong Buy, while the other two say Buy.Lowe'sMarket value:$137.7 billionBillionaire investor:Two Creeks Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:12.2%Two Creeks Capital Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $2.8 billion, made a big addition to its stake inLowe's(LOW, $194.83) in the first quarter – a move most analysts would regard as wise.The nation's second-largest home improvement retailer after Home Depot (HD) benefited greatly from the work-from-home/stuck-at-home reality of pandemic life. Analysts say many of the do-it-yourself habits consumers adopted during COVID times are here to stay. Lowe's is also being aided by the ultra-tight housing market.The Street gives LOW a consensus recommendation of Buy. Argus Research, which counts itself in the Buy camp, says Lowe's has several strong tailwinds behind it.\"We believe that the major drivers of post-pandemic sales growth remain the same,\" writes Argus Research analyst Christopher Graja. \"There has been significant underinvestment in housing. About 70% of U.S. homes are more than 25 years old and likely in need of upgrades and repairs. Millennials are starting families.\"Income investors know the power of Lowe's dividend over the longer haul. The Dividend Aristocrat has paid a cash distribution every quarter since going public in 1961, and that dividend has increased annually for almost 60 years.The bullish investment thesis led Two Creeks to up its stake in this stock pick by 14%, or 132,811 shares, in Q1. The hedge fund's total stake of 1.1 million LOW shares, worth $200 million at the end of Q1, accounts for 12.2% of its portfolio, representing its third-largest holding.AlphabetMarket value:$1.6 trillionBillionaire investor:Metropolis CapitalPercent of portfolio:13.3%It should come as no surprise that hedge funds are big believers in Google parentAlphabet(GOOGL, $2,356,85). Metropolis Capital, a U.K.-based investor with $1.4 billion in AUM, is just one of about 225 hedge funds upping its stake in the internet giant in Q1.Metropolis thinks highly enough of the search leader that it increased its stake by 22%, or 13,679 shares. The firm now holds a total of 74,868 shares worth $154.4 million, or 13.3% of its total portfolio, as of March 31.Alphabet happens to be in good company at this hedge fund. GOOGL is Metropolis' second-largest stock pick after Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B).If nothing else, Alphabet's pandemic performance in totality bolstered the case that GOOGL is not a one-trick pony. Its numerous other endeavors likewise shore up the case. For example, Alphabet is a key player in cloud-based services, and home to Nest Labs and self-driving car startup Waymo. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and virtual reality are other areas of heavy investment.\"We continue to favor Google as a core large-cap growth holding given the strong digital advertising backdrop, continued strength from Cloud, ongoing share repurchases (with the newly authorized $50 billion program) and a reasonable valuation,\" writes Canaccord Genuity analyst Maria Ripps (Buy).Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy. Of the 45 analysts issuing opinions on the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 32 rate it at Strong Buy, 12 say Buy and one has it at Hold.Walt DisneyMarket value:$324.6 billionBillionaire investor:Kirkoswald Asset ManagementPercent of portfolio:16.5%Coronavirus took a huge bite out of some ofWalt Disney's(DIS, $178.65) most important businesses: namely, its theme parks and studios. But after encouraging quarterly results, analysts say business is set to bounce back in a big way.Disneyland and other California amusement parks have reopened with restrictions. And admissions at Florida's Disney World continue to climb.\"With mask mandates lifted and capacity constraints loosened further, we would not be surprised to see a step change in attendance in the near future,\" writes Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Kraft (Buy).But that's nothing compared to what DIS has on its hands in thestreaming mediawars.Disney+ is a smashing success. The streaming platform, which launched in November 2019, has already amassed almost 100 million subscribers – a staggering rate of growth. Consider that Disney+ now has about half as many subscribers as Netflix (NFLX) – but Netflix had a roughly 12-year head start.Kirkoswald Asset Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $4 billion, decided to get in on DIS asa recovery stock pickin Q1. It initiated a stake of 5,200 shares, worth almost $1 million, during the first three months of the year.The new stake immediately made DIS its second-largest position among $5.8 million in managed securities.Most of the Street would approve of Kirkoswald's investment. Analysts have a consensus Buy recommendation on this Dow stock.Berkshire HathawayMarket value:$661.0 billionBillionaire investor:Southeast Asset AdvisorsPercent of portfolio:16.8%If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.It's hard to compete with Warren Buffett when it comes toasset allocation. As CEO and chairman ofBerkshire Hathaway(BRK.B, $289.44), he's arguably the greatest long-term investor of all time.So it's little wonder that so many hedge funds, large advisories and other billion-dollar-plus pools of money throw in their lots with the Oracle of Omaha.Southeast Asset Advisors, an investment manager and hedge fund based in Thomasville, Georgia, with $1.6 billion in AUM, has been a BRK.B shareholder since 2008. Indeed, BRK.B, at 16.8% of its portfolio, is the fund's top holding.And it's only getting bigger.Southeast increased its stake in BRK.B by 2%, or 7,747 shares, in Q1. It now holds 365,149 shares worth $93.3 million. Only Alphabet Class C shares (GOOG) come close to the firm's BRK.B stake, accounting for 11.7% of the portfolio.BRK.B has been an outstanding performer both in 2021 and over the past 52 weeks. The stock is up 25% for the year-to-date, essentially doubling the S&P 500's gains. And over the past year? BRK.B returned 57% vs. a price increase of less than 40% for the broad-market gauge.Only four analysts cover BRK.B stock, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. Their consensus recommendation comes to Buy.AlibabaMarket value:$580.4 billionBillionaire investor:Conifer ManagementPercent of portfolio:20.7%Conifer Management, a New York hedge fund with $7.7 billion in AUM, has more than a fifth of its portfolio invested in Chinese e-commerce giantAlibaba(BABA, $213.96).Indeed, after upping its stake by 147%, or 884,845 shares, in Q1, BABA is Conifer's top holding. Its total stake of 1.5 million shares was worth $336.7 million at the end of the first quarter.Conifer initiated its stake in BABA only in the final quarter of last year. To the hedge fund's credit, this stock pick is a highly defensible investment idea.Alibaba is sometimes called the Amazon of China. There are important differences between the two, but they do share the enviable trait of being undisputed titans ine-commerce.And like Amazon, Alibaba has never shied away from investing heavily to both build out its existing businesses and enter new ones. As a result, BABA finds itself spreading beyond its core e-commerce business into cloud computing, digital payments and more.It also helps that BABA and investors can now move past a $2.75 billion fine imposed by Chinese regulators for violating anti-monopoly laws.Some analysts worry about decelerating revenue in the company's cloud services business, but the majority of the Street sees recent share-price weakness as a buying opportunity.The consensus recommendation of 49 analysts tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence comes to Strong Buy on BABA stock.MastercardMarket value:$357.4 billionBillionaire investor:Valley Forge Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:22.6%If Valley Forge Capital Management likes Visa – as noted above – it absolutely adores competitorMastercard(MA, $360.58).The Wayne, Pennsylvania-based hedge fund with $1.1 billion in AUM almost doubled its stake in this stock pick in the first quarter. And with more than a fifth of its portfolio tied up in the payments processor, Mastercard is Valley Forge's top holding.The hedge fund bought another 665,544 shares, representing a 98% increase, in Q1, bringing its total holdings to 1.3 million shares. The position was worth $477.9 million as of March 31.Valley Forge, which owns 0.14% of MA's shares outstanding, has been an investor in the company since 2016. It's a bet that appears to have done quite well. Mastercard stock's five-year total return – price appreciation plus dividends – comes to 30.8%, according to Morningstar data. That beats its sector by 5.7 percentage points and leads the broader market by 13.4 percentage points.Like Visa, Mastercard has relentless growth in digital mobile payments and other cashless transactions at its back.\"Mastercard is a key beneficiary of the long-term secular shift toward electronic forms of payments, and that new technology is helping accelerate the shift,\" writes William Blair analyst Robert Napoli (Outperform)And, just like Visa, MA has a lot of fans on the Street. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy.FacebookMarket value:$932.1 billionBillionaire investor:Altarock PartnersPercent of portfolio:24.4%There's a strong bull case to be made forFacebook(FB, $328.73), the social media giant that forms a digital-ad duopoly with Google. Just ask Altarock Partners.This hedge fund, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, with AUM of $3.1 billion, has almost a quarter of its portfolio socked away in Facebook stock. After buying another 465,800 shares, a 27% increase, in Q1, the hedge fund is sitting on 2.2 million shares worth $641.4 million as of March 31.That makes FB Altarock's second-largest holding.And just who is at No. 1?None other than Google parent Alphabet, which commands 25.1% of Altarock's investment portfolio.The hedge fund first bought FB in the fourth quarter of last year, so it's building up its position on the stock pick pretty rapidly. And well it should, if analysts are right about this name.The Street's consensus recommendation on FB stands at Strong Buy, as analysts forecast the company to deliver truly impressive profit growth for some time.\"We believe Facebook's share gains during the pandemic and new initiatives in e-commerce can drive many years of above-market growth,\" writes Stifel analyst John Egbert (Buy). \"We are comfortable with the potential outcomes of antitrust inquiries and believe FB shares offer investors a rare combination of growth and value relative to its peers.\"SeagenMarket value:$28.2 billionBillionaire investor:Felix and Julian Baker (Baker Bros. Advisors)Percent of portfolio:29.7%Seagen(SGEN, $155.35), a biotechnology firm specializing in oncology treatments, couldn't get a bigger vote of confidence than being the top holding of Baker Bros. Advisors.This New York-based hedge fund with $35.8 billion in AUM is led by billionaire biotech investors Julian and Felix Baker. The brothers may keep a low profile, but they're plenty famous in the world ofbiotech stocks. A series of successful investments have allowed the Bakers to build an estimated combined fortune of about $4 billion, according to Forbes.And judging by their latest regulatory filings, the brothers have great expectations for Seagen, too. The stock pick accounts for nearly 30% of the total value of the Baker Bros.' holdings, up from 28.5% three months ago.The increase stems in part from Baker Bros. buying another 347,745 shares in SGEN in the first quarter of 2021. The fund's total holdings of 47.6 million shares were worth more than $7 billion at the end of Q1.The stake gives Baker Bros. ownership of 26.3% of SGEN's shares outstanding, which makes it the biotech company's largest shareholder by a wide margin. The second-largest investor – Capital Research and Management – holds only 8.6% of SGEN's shares outstanding.The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.TRENDING TOPICSTRENDING ARTICLES","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":520,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":194765217,"gmtCreate":1621402149039,"gmtModify":1704357055215,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Fly me to the moon","listText":"Fly me to the moon","text":"Fly me to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/194765217","repostId":"2136960746","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136960746","pubTimestamp":1621392480,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2136960746?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 10:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Sweat a Market Crash -- These 7 Stocks Could Go to the Moon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136960746","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Market crashes rarely last more than a year or two -- and the stock market has been going up for 75 years.","content":"<p>On Friday, May 7, the S&amp;P 500 closed at its all time high of 4,233. Five days later, on Wednesday, the stock market crash had rolled that number all the way back to...4,063.</p><p>Put down your calculators. That's a decline of just 4% -- and it's not a market crash by any definition.</p><p>In fact, you need to see a 10% decline before you can even call something like this a market correction. For a true market \"crash\" -- a bear market -- the decline needs to be about five times worse than the modest price rollback we've seen this week. In other words: Don't panic. We're not anywhere near a market crash -- yet.</p><h2>Don't panic later, either</h2><p>But what if this week's selling keeps on going? What if the selling continues long enough that it <i>does </i>constitute a \"market crash\"? In that case, my advice would still be not to panic.</p><p>Market corrections are scary, and they're not even all that infrequent. Since the end of World War II, the U.S. stock market has suffered more than two dozen separate market corrections, losing an average of about 14% each time, and taking about four months on average to recover. True market crashes are even worse -- both more painful (averaging 30% declines) and longer-lasting (taking 14 months to recover from). But even market crashes ultimately end.</p><p>Need proof? When WWII ended in September, 1945, the entire S&amp;P 500 was worth about 16 points. More than three dozen crashes and corrections later, the S&amp;P 500 closed Wednesday at 4,063, a gain of 25,300%.</p><h2>7 stocks racing to the moon</h2><p>Broken down year by year, that 25,300% gain works out to the famous investing maxim that \"the stock market grows 10% per year\" on average. So long as you're patient, a lifetime of investing in the stock market will make you money over the long term, no matter <i>what </i>happens in the short term.</p><p>To encourage that kind of long-term thinking, let me suggest for you a handful of stocks where the short term is almost certainly irrelevant -- but that could literally \"go to the moon\" over the long term. Let me suggest that you consider investing in space stocks.</p><p>2020 and early 2021 have seen a whole series of new stocks arrive on the stock market through special purpose acquisition vehicles (SPACs), an alternative to traditional IPOs. Over just the past few months, we've seen companies with far-reaching space ambitions announce plans to IPO via SPAC, companies like:</p><ul><li><b>Virgin Galactic</b> (NYSE:SPCE), a pioneer in space tourism.</li><li>Rocket Lab, the leading manufacturer and launcher of small rockets carrying small satellites, which is going public with help from <b>Vector Acquisition</b> (NASDAQ:VACQ).</li><li>Astra, another small rocket launcher that is being brought public by <b>Holicity</b> (NASDAQ:HOL).</li><li>Momentus, a maker of \"space tugs\" that tow satellites into new orbits, with <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SRACU\">Stable Road Acquisition</a></b> (NASDAQ:SRAC) as its SPAC<i>.</i></li><li>Spire Global (Earth observation satellites), going public via <b>NavSight Holdings</b> (NYSE:NSH).</li><li>BlackSky (geospatial intelligence and data analytics), courtesy of <b>Osprey Technology</b> (NYSE:SFTW).</li><li>And <b>AST SpaceMobile</b> (NASDAQ:ASTS), which wants to turn every cellphone on the planet into a satellite phone that can call to anywhere, from anywhere.</li></ul><p>According to the latest data from S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, <i>not <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a></i> of these space companies is currently profitable. Some haven't even put anything in space yet, and it could be months or years before their businesses truly get up and running.

Five days later, on Wednesday, the stock market crash had rolled that number all the way back to...4,063.Put down your calculators. That's a decline of just 4% -- and it's not a market crash by any definition.In fact, you need to see a 10% decline before you can even call something like this a market correction. For a true market \"crash\" -- a bear market -- the decline needs to be about five times worse than the modest price rollback we've seen this week. In other words: Don't panic. We're not anywhere near a market crash -- yet.Don't panic later, eitherBut what if this week's selling keeps on going? What if the selling continues long enough that it does constitute a \"market crash\"? In that case, my advice would still be not to panic.Market corrections are scary, and they're not even all that infrequent. Since the end of World War II, the U.S. stock market has suffered more than two dozen separate market corrections, losing an average of about 14% each time, and taking about four months on average to recover. True market crashes are even worse -- both more painful (averaging 30% declines) and longer-lasting (taking 14 months to recover from). But even market crashes ultimately end.Need proof? When WWII ended in September, 1945, the entire S&P 500 was worth about 16 points. More than three dozen crashes and corrections later, the S&P 500 closed Wednesday at 4,063, a gain of 25,300%.7 stocks racing to the moonBroken down year by year, that 25,300% gain works out to the famous investing maxim that \"the stock market grows 10% per year\" on average. So long as you're patient, a lifetime of investing in the stock market will make you money over the long term, no matter what happens in the short term.To encourage that kind of long-term thinking, let me suggest for you a handful of stocks where the short term is almost certainly irrelevant -- but that could literally \"go to the moon\" over the long term. Let me suggest that you consider investing in space stocks.2020 and early 2021 have seen a whole series of new stocks arrive on the stock market through special purpose acquisition vehicles (SPACs), an alternative to traditional IPOs. Over just the past few months, we've seen companies with far-reaching space ambitions announce plans to IPO via SPAC, companies like:Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE), a pioneer in space tourism.Rocket Lab, the leading manufacturer and launcher of small rockets carrying small satellites, which is going public with help from Vector Acquisition (NASDAQ:VACQ).Astra, another small rocket launcher that is being brought public by Holicity (NASDAQ:HOL).Momentus, a maker of \"space tugs\" that tow satellites into new orbits, with Stable Road Acquisition (NASDAQ:SRAC) as its SPAC.Spire Global (Earth observation satellites), going public via NavSight Holdings (NYSE:NSH).BlackSky (geospatial intelligence and data analytics), courtesy of Osprey Technology (NYSE:SFTW).And AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS), which wants to turn every cellphone on the planet into a satellite phone that can call to anywhere, from anywhere.According to the latest data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, not one of these space companies is currently profitable. Some haven't even put anything in space yet, and it could be months or years before their businesses truly get up and running. What the market does -- whether it crashes or soars -- probably doesn't mean very much to such early stage companies.To be perfectly honest, I think it might be as long as a decade or more before we'll know which of these stocks will become winners, and which not. But by the time we do know, my hunch is that the winners could cost very much more than the $10 or so they cost today -- and that the gains from those winners could more than offset the losses of the losers. As speculative investments, I wouldn't advise placing a whole lot of money into any single space stock. But putting a few dollars into each and then letting the money ride through market peaks and market crashes could be a great way to help you ignore the market in the short term, and focus your investing on a longer-term horizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":218,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156622838,"gmtCreate":1625219886224,"gmtModify":1703738618663,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Amd and micron","listText":"Amd and micron","text":"Amd and micron","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156622838","repostId":"1177807845","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177807845","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1625219508,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177807845?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-02 17:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Micron, Nvidia, AMD, TSMC, Or Intel?

These are the analysts with the highest success rate and average return per rating, taking into consideration the number of ratings published by each analyst.Here are top Wall Street analysts' five favorite stocks heading into June:Advanced Micro DevicesNorthland Capital analyst Gus Richard says it's to infinity and beyond for Advanced Micro Devices. In line with this optimistic take, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and $116 price target.Richard believes that the semiconductor name will have a solid Q2, but argues the real question is whether PC demand will slow as the economy re-opens. According to the analyst, the answer is yes, but points out that $AMD(AMD)$’s “better products” are helping it to take market share from Intel.“One of the most difficult markets to penetrate is the corporate client. In CY19 Intel was short on 14nm capacity and late on 10nm and this limited its ability to meet demand opening the door for AMD in the corporate market. We estimate that AMD currently has a 5% to 7% share of the higher-margin corporate client market and expect its share to accelerate as corporations dual source,” Richard explained.Additionally, based on Intel’s recent results and the analyst’s industry checks, Intel has been focused on low-end Chromebooks, and “these dynamics bode well for a strong 2H for AMD in the client market,” in Richard’s opinion.With this in mind, Richard argues that over the next few years, AMD’s revenue share in the PC clients market will reach around 50%, from 20% currently. It also is in the second year of a game console product cycle, which the analyst believes could lead to an improvement in gross margins for this segment.It should also be noted thatAMDhas an advantage in the x86 server space. “We believe leadership in the x86 market is driven primarily by process technology and to a lesser extent design differentiation. INTC is chasing government money to build foundries in the US putting it into competition with TSMC. While INTC has struck a longterm supply agreement with TSMC they are also becoming a competitor to TSMC. It is in TSMC’s best interest to favor AMD over INTC as it will get all of AMD’s lead edge logic business,” Richard commented.Landing a top 40 spot on TipRanks’ list of best-performing analysts, Richard boasts a 71% success rate and 33.8% average return per rating.AmedisysOperating in the healthcare services space,Amedisys offers home healthcare (HH), hospice services and disease management programs.According to Oppenheimer’s Michael Wiederhorn, the company’s “growth story remains on track,” prompting the analyst to maintain a Buy rating. In addition, he left the $325 price target as is.“We hosted meetings with Amedisys and believe the company remains well-positioned for growth in the post-pandemic era, driven by organic opportunities as it bulks up its BD staff and leverages opportunities to further penetrate existing markets with its sizable hospice platform, which included ~$600 million in acquired hospice revenues,” Wiederhorn noted.Across both of its main segments, trends have been bouncing back, with elective procedures moving toward 100% of baseline. As for the hospice business,Amedisys’ primary focus is on admissions, but Wiederhorn points out that LOS issues might have normalized.Some investors have expressed concern about labor inflation, but Wiederhorn doesn’t see this as a significant issue. The analyst tells investors that “despite the ongoing noise in the marketplace,” labor inflation is under control and management is watching the wage environment.“Amedisys has continued to generate low turnover rates (15%) that are well below the market and historical levels (40%) due in large part to its predictive analytics that identify vulnerable employees,” Wiederhorn added.When it comes to M&A, the company is “optimistic on the longer-term upside from home health M&A, as the myriad of pandemic-related benefits, including sequestration, payroll tax, Medicare accelerated payments, CARES Act money and the RAP impact, are set to expire,” says Wiederhorn. He also points out that Amedisys has made a significant effort to establish partnerships which “leverage its high quality scores.”“The company spoke positively regarding its SNF @ Home Partnership with Sound Physicians, which deploys some form of capitation, while its Fresenius dialysis partnership has partial capitation,” Wiederhorn stated.Thanks to his 76% success rate and 23.6% average return per rating, Wiederhorn is ranked #34 out of over 7,000 analysts tracked by TipRanks.DeereEven though Deere bumped up its outlook for 2021, Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann thinks these estimates “could prove conservative.” With this in mind, the top analyst reiterated a Buy rating. In addition, he gave the price target a lift, with the figure moving from $400 to $450.When trying to call Deere’s next peak, it is “complicated,” in Volkmann’s opinion. “First, management’s commentary around the cycle – both Large and Small Ag business at roughly 110-115% of mid-cycle – excludes the last supercycle and therefore undercounts the potential. Second, we estimate overall ASPs have increased 40-50% since the 2013 peak through a combination of emissions regulations, increased technology content, and normal inflation,” the analyst explained.So, what’s the bottom line? Volkmann estimates that the total potential revenue is $55 billion, and at 20% EBIT margin, this amounts to $30 in earnings power, not including additional capital employment.According to the management team at Deere, for 2021, consolidated sales are set to rise 23.5%-28.5% (compared to the previous 16%-25% estimate), with this factoring in FX and pricing tailwinds.Volkmann points out that although the company is benefitting from commodity price inflation, management has warned about a $750 million freight/logistics and material costs headwind for the rest of this year. In addition, given that the 2021 order book is filled, it might be hard for Deere to cover additional increases. That being said, the analyst argues “pricing was the standout message of the quarter, adding roughly 6 percentage points to F1H growth and 5-plus points to the full-year outlook.”What’s more, Deere is evaluating additional structural changes, with this potentially including overseas footprint consolidations and closures. Its key priorities are to streamline the organizational structure, make “more focused capital allocation decisions geared toward the higher-growth, higher-margin portion of the portfolio,” expand the aftermarket opportunity and increase Wirtgen synergies.Volkmann lands a top 100 ranking as a result of his 74% success rate and 25.8% average return per rating.ZscalerCalling Zscaler’s latest quarterly performance “another jaw dropper,” Wedbush’s Daniel Ives remains very much with the bulls. To this end, the analyst kept a Buy rating and $240 price target on the cloud-based information security company.Looking at the print, billings gained 71% and surpassed the consensus estimate by 20%-plus, with Ives noting its “clear that the zero trust shift is hitting another gear of growth with ZS leading the charge.”Expounding on this, Ives stated, “While the bears and skeptics on ZS threw the company in the ‘WFH growth tailing off crew’ over the last few months, we continue to view this is a zero trust cloud transformation name that will see massive growth prospects for the foreseeable future as the company is essentially the only game in town on enterprise scale zero trust cyber security deployments.”Arguing that Zscaleris in the “drivers seat” when it comes to the cloud cyber security shift over the next ten years, Ives believes that the current IT landscape has ramped up the company’s ability to capitalize on the opportunity.“In our opinion, ZS is the best pure play in the cloud security arena, which we believe is still in the very early innings of taking off with overall hybrid cloud workloads poised to meaningfully accelerate over the coming years and in this climate could see some strategic deals moved forward as the shift to cloud outside the firewall is catalyzing a handful of key sales cycles,” Ives commented.According to the Wedbush analyst, the need to secure applications, data and consumers outside the firewall highlight the huge total addressable market.Summing it all up, Ives said, “To this point given last night’s results and our increased confidence in the ZS story, we believe a further re-rating is still in the cards over the next 12 to 18 months.”Ives’ stellar track record speaks for itself. The #73 rated analyst has delivered a 68% success rate and 30.4% average return per rating.AtriCureAtriCure has developed a portfolio of products for the surgical ablation of cardiac tissue to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in concomitant and stand-alone procedures.For BTIG analyst Marie Thibault, there are multiple reasons to be bullish on AtriCure’s long-term growth prospects. Bearing this in mind, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and a $76 price target.Recently, Thibault hosted a call with Dr. Michael Panutich, a cardiac electrophysiologist (EP) at the Hoag Heart & Vascular Institute, who has been performing the hybrid Convergent procedure, which involves endocardial catheter ablation and epicardial ablation using AtriCure’s EPi-Sense Coagulation Device, since 2017. Given that the FDA has approved the EPi-Sense device in long-standing persistent AF, Dr. Panutich believes that the number of hospitals adopting and marketing the procedure will grow.On top of this, Thibault points out that the FDA approval could make it easier to secure reimbursement, as “fewer insurers will be able to push back on the treatment as being ‘experimental’ or require a failed ablation first.”“This discussion left us with the impression that ATRC’s minimally invasive franchise is poised for robust growth, that careful training will be key to continued success with the Convergent procedure, and that the AF field will continue to be a source of clinical progress,” Thibault commented.What else is driving Thibault’s confidence? The analyst highlights the ongoing momentum for AtriClip, AtriCure’s product designed for use in the occlusion of the left atrial appendage, one of the most common sources of stroke. She is also expecting to see new verticals like cryoablation contribute to revenue generation.Thibault sports an impressive 65.8% average return per rating, helping her to earn a #127 ranking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":351,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":133864705,"gmtCreate":1621736103207,"gmtModify":1704361866627,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's on mars","listText":"It's on mars","text":"It's on mars","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/133864705","repostId":"2137901923","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":104,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":199352529,"gmtCreate":1620687949861,"gmtModify":1704346602331,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/199352529","repostId":"1167387222","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1167387222","pubTimestamp":1620657963,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1167387222?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-10 22:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir Technologies Could Have an Unpleasant Surprise on This Week’s Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1167387222","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"PLTR stock is struggling into a suddenly key earnings report.There are two reasons why first-quarter","content":"<blockquote>PLTR stock is struggling into a suddenly key earnings report.</blockquote><p>There are two reasons why first-quarter earnings on Tuesday look key for<b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock.</p><p>The first is that PLTR is sliding into the report.

After the fourth quarter, Palantir guided for45% year-over-year growthin Q1. That’s about in line with the 47% increase posted for full-year 2020.</p><p>Historically, most software companies guide conservatively (and as a result post beats relative to Wall Street expectations). So even after the pullback in PLTR stock, Palantir needs to hit 45% at least. It probably takes something closer to 50% to get investors truly excited.</p><p>That said, a big beat or miss is somewhat unlikely. Palantir serves most large-cap companies under large-scale contracts, and the company gave Q1 guidance halfway through the quarter. Its visibility toward quarter-end should have been quite clear.</p><p>That leaves earnings. Analysts are looking for 4 cents per share from Palantir, and here too a beat seems likely.

Again excluding share-based compensation, sales and marketing spend dropped 23%, and research and development 14%. (General and administrative expense did increase 15%.)</p><p>The cut in spending seems strange given Palantir’s strong growth. The novel coronavirus pandemic may have played a role, admittedly. The more normalized environment of the first quarter should give some more color on this front.</p><p>All told, this is not likely to be a quarter where a beat on its own sends PLTR stock higher. Given the number of questions here, “how” might be more important than”how much?”</p><p>Palantir fell about 6% in morning trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b838f84df5e5493aef59679cbb69aeb\" tg-width=\"789\" tg-height=\"523\"></p><p><i>On the date of publication, Vince Martin did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.</i></p>","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>Palantir Technologies Could Have an Unpleasant Surprise on This Week’s Earnings</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\">\nPalantir Technologies Could Have an Unpleasant Surprise on This Week’s Earnings\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-10 22:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/05/pltr-stock-unpleasant-surprise-this-weeks-earnings/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>PLTR stock is struggling into a suddenly key earnings report.There are two reasons why first-quarter earnings on Tuesday look key forPalantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock.The first is that PLTR is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/05/pltr-stock-unpleasant-surprise-this-weeks-earnings/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/05/pltr-stock-unpleasant-surprise-this-weeks-earnings/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1167387222","content_text":"PLTR stock is struggling into a suddenly key earnings report.There are two reasons why first-quarter earnings on Tuesday look key forPalantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock.The first is that PLTR is sliding into the report.

After the fourth quarter, Palantir guided for45% year-over-year growthin Q1. That’s about in line with the 47% increase posted for full-year 2020.Historically, most software companies guide conservatively (and as a result post beats relative to Wall Street expectations). So even after the pullback in PLTR stock, Palantir needs to hit 45% at least. It probably takes something closer to 50% to get investors truly excited.That said, a big beat or miss is somewhat unlikely. Palantir serves most large-cap companies under large-scale contracts, and the company gave Q1 guidance halfway through the quarter. Its visibility toward quarter-end should have been quite clear.That leaves earnings. Analysts are looking for 4 cents per share from Palantir, and here too a beat seems likely. But how Palantir drives a beat will be important (while a miss looks dangerous for PLTR stock).Again, gross margins will be key, but the same is true for spending.As an analyst noted late last year, Palantir’s operating expensesdeclined in 2020. Again excluding share-based compensation, sales and marketing spend dropped 23%, and research and development 14%. (General and administrative expense did increase 15%.)The cut in spending seems strange given Palantir’s strong growth. The novel coronavirus pandemic may have played a role, admittedly. The more normalized environment of the first quarter should give some more color on this front.All told, this is not likely to be a quarter where a beat on its own sends PLTR stock higher. Given the number of questions here, “how” might be more important than”how much?”Palantir fell about 6% in morning trading.On the date of publication, Vince Martin did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":115,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195274853,"gmtCreate":1621299686672,"gmtModify":1704355335374,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good support thanks","listText":"Good support thanks","text":"Good support thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/195274853","repostId":"2136957689","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136957689","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":1621298924,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2136957689?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-18 08:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Samsung Electronics could begin construction of new U.S. chip plant in Q3 - Electronic Times","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136957689","media":"Reuters","summary":"SEOUL, May 18 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co Ltd could begin construction of a planned $17 billi","content":"<p>SEOUL, May 18 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co Ltd&nbsp;could begin construction of a planned $17 billion U.S. chip plant in the third quarter of this year with a target to be operational in 2024, a South Korean newspaper reported late on Monday.</p><p>Samsung is planning to apply an advanced 5-nanometer extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography chip-making process at the plant, which is expected to be in Austin, Texas, the Electronic Times reported citing unnamed industry sources.</p><p>Samsung did not have an immediate comment.</p><p>Documents filed with Texas state officials previously showed Samsung is considering Austin as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the sites for a new $17 billion chip plant that the South Korean firm said could create 1,800 jobs.</p><p>U.S. President Joe Biden has proposed $50 billion to support chip manufacturing, which has spurred companies like Intel Corp&nbsp;and global No. 1 chip contract manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co    to consider major new investments.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

They allow us to send lightning-fast transactions overseas, develop applications in a decentralized way, encrypt information in a manner that is safe and effective, and — most importantly — they give us an innovative new way to grow our wealth.<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b>BTC-USD</b>) blazed the trail, creating the first generation of crypto billionaires and blockchain entrepreneurs. In its wake, altcoins have been cropping up everywhere as potential gateways to gains. Although this crypto craze brings great opportunity, it also brings a wealth of cryptocurrency scams, like theElon Musk impersonators who’ve made off with millionsin coins.</p><p>This new frontier of digital, decentralized finance can be a labyrinth for new investors. There are many bad actors who know that, and seek to take advantage of those who are just beginning to explore the complex world of cryptocurrencies.</p><p>At<i>InvestorPlace</i>, we want to ensure our readers are as educated as possible in order to tell the real from the fake. In the world of traditional investing, this means highlighting the risks that come with penny stocks and other volatile names. In the world of cryptocurrencies, it’s the same.</p><p>And, just like with traditional pump-and-dump schemes and other stock scams, there are signs you can look for to avoid falling for fraud.</p><p>Altcoin schemes are frustrating because they can take many forms.AARPsays it best, though: “For all cryptocurrency’s high-tech gloss, many of the related scams are just newfangled versions of classic frauds.”</p><p>In the six months from October 2020 to May 2021, those Elon Musk impersonators have been making a killing. By just creating a Twitter account using Musk’s profile image and name, these scammers have convinced users to send over $2 million in Bitcoin to them. The scam, a play on the popular“Nigerian prince”email scheme, is shockingly lucrative. And, unfortunately, it’s only a drop in the bucket as far as crypto scams go.</p><p>With this in mind, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with different crypto schemes to minimize the risk of falling victim to one. Let’s take a look at some of the most common crypto scams.</p><p><b>Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fake ICOs</b></p><p>A fake ICO, or initial coin offering, takes a similar shape to a pre-IPO scam. In it, a cryptocurrency will pop up. It will have a white paper and all the fixings, advertising a “groundbreaking” new blockchain tech oryield-farming modelthat is certain to bring<i>huge gains</i>.</p><p>These crypto scams usually also have great marketing. Victims are the type who are prone to speculative investing; they’ll bite, pouring money into an initial offering in order to get those “big gains.” Before you know it, they’re seeing no movement in their portfolio. Or, they’re getting a worthless token with absolutely no utility. The scammer rides off into the sunset with a full wallet.</p><p>A famous example of a fake ICO is&nbsp;<b>Pincoin</b>. The development teamraised $660 million from investors, launched a different coin from the one advertised, and compensated the victims with loads of the worthless crypto before disappearing. The resulting protests outside their Ho Chi Minh City office were a fruitless effort; the seven developersemptied the commercial space and never came back.</p><p>So how do you avoid these cryptocurrency scams? The key for spotting a fake ICO is in the details.</p><p>This means you should pore over the white paper, which is the cornerstone document to a blockchain project. It contains all the details of how a crypto functions, how it is used, and the roadmap for the underlying company and team.</p><p>The details of a white paper are where you will find the evidence of a scam. If it doesn’t have a white paper, that’s an immediate red flag. If there are typos, or if there is a lack of a clear vision or roadmap for the crypto, these are all signs of a cryptocurrency scam.</p><p><b>Ponzi Schemes</b></p><p>If you’re at all familiar with investing, you are familiar with Ponzi schemes. The scam is one in which old investors are paid with the money of new investors, under the guise of receiving gains from their investment. It’s a scheme as old as — well, as old as Charles Ponzi, who originated the scam under the façade of selling discounted postage stamps.</p><p>In the 100-plus years since, the scam has remained, but it’s become more sophisticated.</p><p>With cryptos, a Ponzi scheme takes a similar form. Scammers offer huge gains through an “up and coming” new arbitrage model. Money is taken from the new investors, given to the old investors disguised as the gains, and the scammer pockets his share.</p><p>The most notable Ponzi scheme in crypto is<b>Bitconnect</b>, a high-yield investment program disguised as an open-source currency. Users could stake their coins for high daily interest, which was actually just money taken from newer investors. And the company made a huge profit; Bitconnectwas a top 20 cryptocurrencyin terms of market capitalization before its collapse.</p><p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissionkeeps a handy guideon spotting this particular crypto scheme. Investors should look out for the classic “high return, no risk” promise typical of a cryptocurrency scam. Overly complex strategies and returns that look uncannily consistent are also signs of fraud. Because of the nature of cryptos, overly consistent returns are unusual. Things ebb and flow on the market, so when returns are the same month after month, it suggests the gains are artificial.</p><p><b>Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fraud Wallets</b></p><p>A fraud wallet scam is closely related to the internet-age-old practice of phishing. But rather than sending out emails pretending to be a reputable company, fraud wallets typically wait for you to come to them.</p><p>Fraud wallets can take the shape of a website or a mobile app, just like a real crypto wallet. Everything might seem totally legitimate: a shiny logo, high ratings, a sleek interface; heck, just the fact that a wallet app is on the Apple App Store could seem like reason enough to believe a wallet is real.</p><p>Much like a lemon car, the fraud takes advantage of the adage “looks can be deceiving.” When one signs up for a fraudulent wallet, they do all the work for the scammer. They add in their information, link a card or two, and load crypto right into the scammers’ hands. Then, just as quickly as the scammers showed up, they vanish with the coins.</p><p><b>Trezor’s doppelgänger app</b>&nbsp;is a famous example of a fraud wallet scheme, evengetting coverage in the<i>Washington Post</i>. The app posed as Trezor, which is a reputable crypto wallet. However, the doppelgänger app was acting in bad faith and stripped customers’ coins. As a result, victims have lost nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency. The most disturbing part of it all is that the app was housed on Apple’s platform, a supposedly safe space to download applications. It proves that you can’t let your guard down.</p><p>My advice here is to stick with the biggest wallet players. Look for wallets with blue checkmarks on their Twitter profiles. Go to websites through official links to be sure you’re on legitimate sites. Don’t necessarily trust an app just because it has hundreds of reviews on an app store; security firm ESET says to “only trust cryptocurrency-related and other finance apps if they are linked from the official website of the service.”</p><p>Double and triple check that you’re looking through official channels when preparing to sign up for a wallet in-browser. If you go through as many channels as possible that evaluate content for fraud, the likelihood that you are using a crypto scam product decreases significantly.</p><p><b>Social Media Scams</b></p><p>Social media scams are not exclusive to cryptocurrency. They’ve been around as long as social media has existed, and while all seek different ends, many recent social media scams want your digital currency.</p><p>Another variant of phishing, social media scams typically involve an account advertising big gains, a survey, or something similar, with a link. Clicking the link can lead to malware being installed on one’s device. Or, scammers can simply lure you into entering your information.</p><p>In the crypto-sphere, these scams usually target Bitcoin holders, due simply to the coin’s high value and rapid growth. A famous scam occurred in 2020, when hackers gained access to a slew of different celebrities’ Twitter accounts. Tweets went out from Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Kanye West; all including a wallet address. The promise was that a Bitcoin payment to the address would be paid back to users in double. The hackersmade approximately $121,000 from willful payments.</p><p>This cryptocurrency scam is the most easily avoided of the bunch. If you don’t know a user, don’t click any mysterious links. Typically, the scam is perpetuated by scammers on accounts that are brand new, have zero followers, and no profile picture. Even in the case of the famous Twitter hack that saw scams coming from verified accounts, it’s obvious that a promise to double one’s investment for free is illegitimate. Tom Robinson, co-founder of&nbsp;<b>Elliptic</b>,says of these scams, “what we often see with these type [sic] of exploits is that the exploit itself can be very sophisticated but they’re not very good at monetizing it.”</p><p>Some common sense and a keen sense of skepticism can go a long way.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line on Cryptocurrency Scams</b></p><p>This list isn’t all-encompassing; as cryptocurrencies change shape to fit consumers’ needs, so too will scams shapeshift to lure in new victims. Crypto is a booming industry, and a large part of that is because it is not regulated. Users can do whatever they want, which means some will use their privileges for malicious purposes.</p><p>Meme coins are going to keep cropping up, promising the success of&nbsp;<b>Dogecoin</b>(CCC:<b>DOGE-USD</b>). They’re not all illegitimate, but keep all of this information stored. You should be able to stay wary and skim the fakes from the pool. Likewise, fraudulent wallets and exchanges will continue popping up as long as legitimate ones keep hitting the market as “innovative new platforms in blockchain tech.”</p><p>Almost all crypto scams can be rooted out by simply taking a closer look. Scammers are sloppy — they make typos, they leave out details. If it walks like a scam, and it talks like a scam, it’s best to stay away, because it’s a scam.</p>","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>Headed for the Moon?

Although this crypto craze brings great opportunity, it also brings a wealth of cryptocurrency scams, like theElon Musk impersonators who’ve made off with millionsin coins.This new frontier of digital, decentralized finance can be a labyrinth for new investors. There are many bad actors who know that, and seek to take advantage of those who are just beginning to explore the complex world of cryptocurrencies.AtInvestorPlace, we want to ensure our readers are as educated as possible in order to tell the real from the fake. In the world of traditional investing, this means highlighting the risks that come with penny stocks and other volatile names. In the world of cryptocurrencies, it’s the same.And, just like with traditional pump-and-dump schemes and other stock scams, there are signs you can look for to avoid falling for fraud.Altcoin schemes are frustrating because they can take many forms.AARPsays it best, though: “For all cryptocurrency’s high-tech gloss, many of the related scams are just newfangled versions of classic frauds.”In the six months from October 2020 to May 2021, those Elon Musk impersonators have been making a killing. By just creating a Twitter account using Musk’s profile image and name, these scammers have convinced users to send over $2 million in Bitcoin to them. The scam, a play on the popular“Nigerian prince”email scheme, is shockingly lucrative. And, unfortunately, it’s only a drop in the bucket as far as crypto scams go.With this in mind, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with different crypto schemes to minimize the risk of falling victim to one. Let’s take a look at some of the most common crypto scams.Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fake ICOsA fake ICO, or initial coin offering, takes a similar shape to a pre-IPO scam. In it, a cryptocurrency will pop up. It will have a white paper and all the fixings, advertising a “groundbreaking” new blockchain tech oryield-farming modelthat is certain to bringhuge gains.These crypto scams usually also have great marketing. Victims are the type who are prone to speculative investing; they’ll bite, pouring money into an initial offering in order to get those “big gains.” Before you know it, they’re seeing no movement in their portfolio. Or, they’re getting a worthless token with absolutely no utility. The scammer rides off into the sunset with a full wallet.A famous example of a fake ICO is Pincoin. The development teamraised $660 million from investors, launched a different coin from the one advertised, and compensated the victims with loads of the worthless crypto before disappearing. The resulting protests outside their Ho Chi Minh City office were a fruitless effort; the seven developersemptied the commercial space and never came back.So how do you avoid these cryptocurrency scams? The key for spotting a fake ICO is in the details.This means you should pore over the white paper, which is the cornerstone document to a blockchain project. It contains all the details of how a crypto functions, how it is used, and the roadmap for the underlying company and team.The details of a white paper are where you will find the evidence of a scam. If it doesn’t have a white paper, that’s an immediate red flag. If there are typos, or if there is a lack of a clear vision or roadmap for the crypto, these are all signs of a cryptocurrency scam.Ponzi SchemesIf you’re at all familiar with investing, you are familiar with Ponzi schemes. The scam is one in which old investors are paid with the money of new investors, under the guise of receiving gains from their investment. It’s a scheme as old as — well, as old as Charles Ponzi, who originated the scam under the façade of selling discounted postage stamps.In the 100-plus years since, the scam has remained, but it’s become more sophisticated.With cryptos, a Ponzi scheme takes a similar form. Scammers offer huge gains through an “up and coming” new arbitrage model. Money is taken from the new investors, given to the old investors disguised as the gains, and the scammer pockets his share.The most notable Ponzi scheme in crypto isBitconnect, a high-yield investment program disguised as an open-source currency. Users could stake their coins for high daily interest, which was actually just money taken from newer investors. And the company made a huge profit; Bitconnectwas a top 20 cryptocurrencyin terms of market capitalization before its collapse.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissionkeeps a handy guideon spotting this particular crypto scheme. Investors should look out for the classic “high return, no risk” promise typical of a cryptocurrency scam. Overly complex strategies and returns that look uncannily consistent are also signs of fraud. Because of the nature of cryptos, overly consistent returns are unusual. Things ebb and flow on the market, so when returns are the same month after month, it suggests the gains are artificial.Cryptocurrency Scams to Avoid: Fraud WalletsA fraud wallet scam is closely related to the internet-age-old practice of phishing. But rather than sending out emails pretending to be a reputable company, fraud wallets typically wait for you to come to them.Fraud wallets can take the shape of a website or a mobile app, just like a real crypto wallet. Everything might seem totally legitimate: a shiny logo, high ratings, a sleek interface; heck, just the fact that a wallet app is on the Apple App Store could seem like reason enough to believe a wallet is real.Much like a lemon car, the fraud takes advantage of the adage “looks can be deceiving.” When one signs up for a fraudulent wallet, they do all the work for the scammer. They add in their information, link a card or two, and load crypto right into the scammers’ hands. Then, just as quickly as the scammers showed up, they vanish with the coins.Trezor’s doppelgänger app is a famous example of a fraud wallet scheme, evengetting coverage in theWashington Post. The app posed as Trezor, which is a reputable crypto wallet. However, the doppelgänger app was acting in bad faith and stripped customers’ coins. As a result, victims have lost nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency. The most disturbing part of it all is that the app was housed on Apple’s platform, a supposedly safe space to download applications. It proves that you can’t let your guard down.My advice here is to stick with the biggest wallet players. Look for wallets with blue checkmarks on their Twitter profiles. Go to websites through official links to be sure you’re on legitimate sites. Don’t necessarily trust an app just because it has hundreds of reviews on an app store; security firm ESET says to “only trust cryptocurrency-related and other finance apps if they are linked from the official website of the service.”Double and triple check that you’re looking through official channels when preparing to sign up for a wallet in-browser. If you go through as many channels as possible that evaluate content for fraud, the likelihood that you are using a crypto scam product decreases significantly.Social Media ScamsSocial media scams are not exclusive to cryptocurrency. They’ve been around as long as social media has existed, and while all seek different ends, many recent social media scams want your digital currency.Another variant of phishing, social media scams typically involve an account advertising big gains, a survey, or something similar, with a link. Clicking the link can lead to malware being installed on one’s device. Or, scammers can simply lure you into entering your information.In the crypto-sphere, these scams usually target Bitcoin holders, due simply to the coin’s high value and rapid growth. A famous scam occurred in 2020, when hackers gained access to a slew of different celebrities’ Twitter accounts. Tweets went out from Barack Obama, Elon Musk and Kanye West; all including a wallet address. The promise was that a Bitcoin payment to the address would be paid back to users in double. The hackersmade approximately $121,000 from willful payments.This cryptocurrency scam is the most easily avoided of the bunch. If you don’t know a user, don’t click any mysterious links. Typically, the scam is perpetuated by scammers on accounts that are brand new, have zero followers, and no profile picture. Even in the case of the famous Twitter hack that saw scams coming from verified accounts, it’s obvious that a promise to double one’s investment for free is illegitimate. Tom Robinson, co-founder of Elliptic,says of these scams, “what we often see with these type [sic] of exploits is that the exploit itself can be very sophisticated but they’re not very good at monetizing it.”Some common sense and a keen sense of skepticism can go a long way.The Bottom Line on Cryptocurrency ScamsThis list isn’t all-encompassing; as cryptocurrencies change shape to fit consumers’ needs, so too will scams shapeshift to lure in new victims. Crypto is a booming industry, and a large part of that is because it is not regulated. Users can do whatever they want, which means some will use their privileges for malicious purposes.Meme coins are going to keep cropping up, promising the success of Dogecoin(CCC:DOGE-USD). They’re not all illegitimate, but keep all of this information stored. You should be able to stay wary and skim the fakes from the pool. Likewise, fraudulent wallets and exchanges will continue popping up as long as legitimate ones keep hitting the market as “innovative new platforms in blockchain tech.”Almost all crypto scams can be rooted out by simply taking a closer look. Scammers are sloppy — they make typos, they leave out details. If it walks like a scam, and it talks like a scam, it’s best to stay away, because it’s a scam.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":173,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192445405,"gmtCreate":1621226039407,"gmtModify":1704354238899,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great stuff","listText":"Great stuff","text":"Great stuff","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/192445405","repostId":"1177712976","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177712976","pubTimestamp":1621213509,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177712976?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-17 09:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"IPO Preview: SquareSpace, Procure Technologies And Oatly Are This Week's Offerings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177712976","media":"benzinga","summary":"There are only three offerings scheduled for the trading week beginning May 17.

Crocs</p><p>You probably didn't have \"Crocs stock hitting new all-time highs\" on your 2021 bingo card, but it's absolutely crushing it on this side of the pandemic. Crocs exploded in popularity when people set aside fashion for comfort, but if you thought the party would be over for the foamy clogs now that we're all going back out in public, you probably haven't been paying attention.</p><p>The company was already on the comeback trail before the COVID-19 crisis. A new CEO stepped up in 2017, and its revenue has been growing and accelerating ever since. A 6% top-line increase in 2018 set the stage for 13% boosts in 2019 and 2020. Crocs now forecasts&nbsp; 40% to 50% revenue growth in 2021, up from the 20% to 25% it was targeting for this year back in February.</p><p>The product line has evolved, and it's also happening at a time when folks all over the world are falling in love again with their cozy Crocs. Sales across all three of the company's geographical territories posted growth of at least 20% in Crocs' latest report, with the Americas leading the way.</p><p>Analysts still don't get it. Crocs has blasted through Wall Street's earnings estimates by 34%, 36%, and 67% in its last three quarterly reports. With revenue, margins, and even the bottom-line beats accelerating, you would be hard-pressed to find a stock with stronger momentum than Crocs right now.</p><p>2. Grayscale Ethereum Trust</p><p><b>Bitcoin</b>(CRYPTO:BTC)may still get most of the attention in the cryptocurrency world, but if you haven't gotten around to tossing some<b>Ethereum</b>(CRYPTO:ETH)into your high-risk mix of digital currencies, you may want to think about it. Bitcoin has roughly doubled this year, but Ethereum has more than quadrupled. Bitcoin is a crypto coin standard, but Ethereum offers more functionality, with innovative blockchain tweaks that are also being put to use in the insurance, logistics, and healthcare industries.</p><p>There aren't a lot ofEthereum stocksout there, but even if there were, Grayscale Ethereum Trust would still be a smart way to buy into the world's second-most valuable cryptocurrency through a stock exchange-listed vehicle available to anyone with a brokerage account. Grayscale Ethereum Trust owns $8.7 billion worth of Ethereum. It has historically traded at a premium to its assets, but it closed out April trading at a 1% discount.</p><p>The one knock on this company is the high fees it charges. Grayscale Ethereum Trust takes a cut of 2.5% of its assets per year, whittled away daily. That's a fair price to pay for a convenient way to play Ethereum through traditional brokerage accounts. It's also barely a rounding error for a cryptocurrency that has more than quadrupled in value in 2021 and is nearly a 15-bagger over the past 12 months.</p><p>3. Roku</p><p>Thanks in large part to the rise of streaming video, you just don't hear folks complaining that there's nothing good to watch on TV anymore, and we can thank Roku for making the streaming experience easier. There are thousands of content apps available on Roku, the leading operating system on smart TVs in the U.S. -- it's the OS in 38% of all smart TVs sold domestically these days. Roku dongles are also available at competitive prices for anyone who wants to turn other televisions into smart TVs.</p><p>Roku's user base expanded by 39% to 51.7 million last year. Platform revenue grew by an even faster 71% in 2020 as engagement and ad-based monetization kept improving. You won't have to wait long to see Roku rock higher or lower. It reports its first-quarter results shortly after Thursday's market close. If you're streaming more than ever right now through your Roku, it's easy to be hopeful for another strong quarter here.</p><p>Should you invest $1,000 in Crocs, Inc. right now?</p><p>Before you consider Crocs, Inc., you'll want to hear this.</p><p>Investing legends and Motley Fool Co-founders David and Tom Gardner just revealed what they believe are the<b>10 best stocks</b>for investors to buy right now... and Crocs, Inc. wasn't one of them.</p><p>The online investing service they've run for nearly two decades,<i>Motley Fool Stock Advisor</i>, has beaten the stock market by over 4X.* And right now, they think there are 10 stocks that are better buys.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Got $1,400?

A new CEO stepped up in 2017, and its revenue has been growing and accelerating ever since. A 6% top-line increase in 2018 set the stage for 13% boosts in 2019 and 2020. Crocs now forecasts  40% to 50% revenue growth in 2021, up from the 20% to 25% it was targeting for this year back in February.The product line has evolved, and it's also happening at a time when folks all over the world are falling in love again with their cozy Crocs. Sales across all three of the company's geographical territories posted growth of at least 20% in Crocs' latest report, with the Americas leading the way.Analysts still don't get it. Crocs has blasted through Wall Street's earnings estimates by 34%, 36%, and 67% in its last three quarterly reports. With revenue, margins, and even the bottom-line beats accelerating, you would be hard-pressed to find a stock with stronger momentum than Crocs right now.2. Grayscale Ethereum TrustBitcoin(CRYPTO:BTC)may still get most of the attention in the cryptocurrency world, but if you haven't gotten around to tossing someEthereum(CRYPTO:ETH)into your high-risk mix of digital currencies, you may want to think about it. Bitcoin has roughly doubled this year, but Ethereum has more than quadrupled. Bitcoin is a crypto coin standard, but Ethereum offers more functionality, with innovative blockchain tweaks that are also being put to use in the insurance, logistics, and healthcare industries.There aren't a lot ofEthereum stocksout there, but even if there were, Grayscale Ethereum Trust would still be a smart way to buy into the world's second-most valuable cryptocurrency through a stock exchange-listed vehicle available to anyone with a brokerage account. Grayscale Ethereum Trust owns $8.7 billion worth of Ethereum. It has historically traded at a premium to its assets, but it closed out April trading at a 1% discount.The one knock on this company is the high fees it charges. Grayscale Ethereum Trust takes a cut of 2.5% of its assets per year, whittled away daily. That's a fair price to pay for a convenient way to play Ethereum through traditional brokerage accounts. It's also barely a rounding error for a cryptocurrency that has more than quadrupled in value in 2021 and is nearly a 15-bagger over the past 12 months.3. RokuThanks in large part to the rise of streaming video, you just don't hear folks complaining that there's nothing good to watch on TV anymore, and we can thank Roku for making the streaming experience easier. There are thousands of content apps available on Roku, the leading operating system on smart TVs in the U.S. -- it's the OS in 38% of all smart TVs sold domestically these days. Roku dongles are also available at competitive prices for anyone who wants to turn other televisions into smart TVs.Roku's user base expanded by 39% to 51.7 million last year. Platform revenue grew by an even faster 71% in 2020 as engagement and ad-based monetization kept improving. You won't have to wait long to see Roku rock higher or lower. It reports its first-quarter results shortly after Thursday's market close. If you're streaming more than ever right now through your Roku, it's easy to be hopeful for another strong quarter here.Should you invest $1,000 in Crocs, Inc. right now?Before you consider Crocs, Inc., you'll want to hear this.Investing legends and Motley Fool Co-founders David and Tom Gardner just revealed what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy right now... and Crocs, Inc. wasn't one of them.The online investing service they've run for nearly two decades,Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has beaten the stock market by over 4X.* And right now, they think there are 10 stocks that are better buys.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":60,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":106966092,"gmtCreate":1620084862916,"gmtModify":1704338291916,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hopefully tesla will do better&nbsp;","listText":"Hopefully tesla will do better&nbsp;","text":"Hopefully tesla will do better","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/106966092","repostId":"1133315528","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133315528","pubTimestamp":1620042187,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133315528?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 19:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A 10% drop or at least a pause could be looming for the S&P 500.

The items range from basic oat milk, to even ice cream and yogurt made from oat milk. According to its website, Oatly’s goal is “to make it easy for people to turn what they eat and drink into personal moments of healthy joy without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process.”</p><p>Oatly confidentially filed for its IPO back in February, then officiallyset terms of the move last week. According to multiple outlets, Oatly will offer about 84.4 million American depositary shares (ADS) at between $15 and $17 per share. In total, the Oatly IPO could reach a $10.1 billion valuation, and the firm hopes to raise $1.1 billion.</p><p>Additionally, Oatly plans to trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker “OTLY” and had nine lead underwriters for its IPO.</p><p><b>The majority shareholder</b></p><p>Oatly was founded in 1994 by Rickard Oste, a professor of food chemistry and nutrition in Sweden, and his brother Bjorn Oste. Working in Malmo, Sweden, they developed a way of processing a slurry of oats and water with enzymes to produce natural sweetness and a milk-like taste and consistency.</p><p>Oatly’s image benefited from a roster of celebrity investors, including Oprah Winfrey, Natalie Portman, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company, and Howard Schultz, the former chief executive of Starbucks. All have some connection to the plant-based or healthy living movement.</p><p>The majority shareholder is a partnership between an entity owned by the Chinese government and Verlinvest, a Belgian firm that invests some of the wealth of the families that control the Anheuser-Busch InBev beer empire.

Nestlé has begun selling a tuna substitute called Vuna and is working on scallops.“It’s a great opportunity to combine health with sustainability,” Mr. Palzer said of plant-based alternatives to milk and meat. “It’s also a great growth opportunity.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192447683,"gmtCreate":1621226229242,"gmtModify":1704354241810,"author":{"id":"3582021921172590","authorId":"3582021921172590","name":"Miloshiyi","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924049b033566ca9b22d0e7bca8ce89f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582021921172590","authorIdStr":"3582021921172590"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Long story","listText":"Long story","text":"Long story","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/192447683","repostId":"1155662507","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155662507","pubTimestamp":1621207822,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155662507?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-17 07:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft Directors Decided Bill Gates Needed to Leave Board Due to Prior Relationship With Staffer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155662507","media":"wsj","summary":"Microsoft Corp. board members decided that Bill Gates needed to step down from its board in 2020 as ","content":"<p>Microsoft Corp. board members decided that Bill Gates needed to step down from its board in 2020 as they pursued an investigation into the billionaire’s prior romantic relationship with a female Microsoft employee that was deemed inappropriate, people familiar with the matter said.</p>\n<p>Members of the board tasked with the matter hired a law firm to conduct an investigation in late 2019 after a Microsoft engineer alleged in a letter that she had a sexual relationship over years with Mr. Gates, the people said.</p>\n<p>During the probe, some board members decided it was no longer suitable for Mr. Gates to sit as a director at the software company he started and led for decades, the people said.Mr. Gates resignedbefore the board’s investigation was completed, another person familiar with the matter said.</p>\n<p>“Microsoft received a concern in the latter half of 2019 that Bill Gates sought to initiate an intimate relationship with a company employee in the year 2000,” a Microsoft spokesman said. “A committee of the Board reviewed the concern, aided by an outside law firm to conduct a thorough investigation.
