The company's market cap has since declined to $8.8 billion, giving it a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of just nine compared to its rivals&nbsp;<b>Kroger</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Walmart</b>, which trade for P/E ratios of 14 and 26, respectively. Albertsons' valuation looks low in comparison, considering its solid operating performance. Albertsons does pay a $0.10 per share quarterly dividend, but it has only been a public company for three quarters so it's too soon to determine its dividend yield.

But the international tobacco giant deserves a premium because of its focus on commercializing heated tobacco technologies (HTU) like IQOS (a system that releases nicotine without combustion to reduce the production of harmful chemicals).

That’s the biggest quarterly increase the company has posted since 2018, thanks in part to&nbsp;gains in PC sales&nbsp;resulting from coronavirus-driven shortages last year.</p>\n<p>The company said its Azure public cloud, which competes with market leader&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;Web Services, grew 50%, faster than the 46% growth analysts had expected, according to a CNBC review of 14 equity research notes. In&nbsp;the prior quarter&nbsp;Azure revenue grew 50%. Microsoft does not disclose Azure revenue in dollars.</p>\n<p>With respect to guidance, Microsoft is expecting $43.6 billion to $44.5 billion in revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter, said Amy Hood, Microsoft’s finance chief, on a conference call with analysts. At the middle of the range that would represent 16% growth, more than the $42.98 billion consensus estimate among analysts polled by Refinitiv.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04deaac8d015743ca14f06c8b77bd26e\" tg-width=\"1910\" tg-height=\"1549\"></p>\n<p>Microsoft’s Intelligent Cloud segment delivered $15.12 billion in revenue in the fiscal third quarter. That was up 23% year over year and above the FactSet consensus estimate of $14.92 billion. Intelligent Cloud contains Azure, Windows Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio, GitHub and Enterprise Services.</p>\n<p>The Productivity and Business Processes segment, containing Office, Dynamics and LinkedIn, contributed $13.55 billion in revenue, up 15% and more than the $13.49 billion FactSet consensus. The Teams chat and calling app reached 145 million daily active users, up from&nbsp;115 million&nbsp;in October, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on the call.</p>\n<p>The company’s More Personal Computing unit, which includes Windows, gaming, devices and search, came up with $13.04 billion in revenue. That was up almost 19% and higher than the $12.55 billion consensus. Technology research company Gartner&nbsp;estimated&nbsp;earlier this month that PC manufacturers shipped nearly 70 million units in the quarter, 32% more than in the year-ago quarter, the fastest growth since Gartner started tracking the PC market in 2000.</p>\n<p>That benefits Microsoft’s sales of Windows licenses to PC makers, which were up 10%. There are now over 1.3 billion monthly active devices running the Windows 10 operating system, Nadella said.</p>\n<p>The outcome was greater than Microsoft itself had forecast.

Total fourth-quarter revenue rose 62% year over year to $911 million. This put total 2020 revenue at $2.5 billion, up 46% year over year.</p>\n<p>This top-line strength was fueled by a 22% year-over-year increase in daily active users and strength in average revenue per user (ARPU). ARPU increased 33% in the fourth quarter of 2020 versus the year-ago quarter.</p>\n<p>\"We continued to see strong adoption of our advertising products in Q4,\" explained Snap CFO Derek Andersen said about the company's growth drivers in Snap's fourth-quarter earnings call. Andersen continued:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Revenue from our commercials ad product more than doubled year-over-year in Q4 as we continue to see building demand from advertisers seeking to reach Gen Z and Millennial audiences at scale, and with a full screen video advertising product that is delivered adjacent to brand safe content.\n</blockquote>\n<h2>Why growth could accelerate</h2>\n<p>For Snapchat's first quarter of 2021, analysts are modeling for a slight deceleration in the social network company's revenue growth. On average, analysts are expecting Snapchat's revenue to increase 61% year over year. This is above management's guidance range for first-quarter revenue to increase 56% to 60% year over year.</p>\n<p>But it's possible that analysts are undershooting, even though the company's guidance range is lower than the consensus forecast. Management guidance typically proves to be quite conservative, barring the fourth quarter of 2019 when the company didn't anticipate lockdowns resulting from COVID-19 in late Q1 2020. If you rewind back to more normalized quarters pre-COVID, consider that Snapchat's revenue came in ahead of its guidance range in every quarter in 2019.</p>\n<p>If the company's track record of approaching its revenue guidance with conservatism is any indication of how Snap's first-quarter top line may trend, the company may not only beat analysts' forecasts but even post a higher growth rate than it did in Q4.</p>\n<p>Of course, there's no guarantee this happens. These are unprecedented times for both ad buyers and digital advertising platforms. In addition, there's elevated uncertainty for many companies. This makes forecasting for both management and analysts particularly tricky.</p>\n<p>Whatever happens, Snap's first-quarter revenue growth may shed light on how the overall digital advertising industry is doing in Q1. A stronger-than-expected quarter from the company could suggest many digital advertising companies are doing well. A weaker-than-expected quarter, on the other hand, could mean that advertisers are holding back. For Snap specifically, a strong quarter could highlight strength in the company's ad products and Snap's ability to capture wallet share from advertisers as the economy reopens.</p>\n<p>Snap reports its first-quarter results after market close on Thursday, Apr. 22.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Snap Earnings: Here's What to Watch</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\">\nSnap Earnings: Here's What to Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-20 23:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/20/snap-earnings-heres-what-to-watch/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>One of the most interesting earnings reports this week may be Snap's (NYSE:SNAP).

If you rewind back to more normalized quarters pre-COVID, consider that Snapchat's revenue came in ahead of its guidance range in every quarter in 2019.\nIf the company's track record of approaching its revenue guidance with conservatism is any indication of how Snap's first-quarter top line may trend, the company may not only beat analysts' forecasts but even post a higher growth rate than it did in Q4.\nOf course, there's no guarantee this happens. These are unprecedented times for both ad buyers and digital advertising platforms. In addition, there's elevated uncertainty for many companies. This makes forecasting for both management and analysts particularly tricky.\nWhatever happens, Snap's first-quarter revenue growth may shed light on how the overall digital advertising industry is doing in Q1. A stronger-than-expected quarter from the company could suggest many digital advertising companies are doing well. A weaker-than-expected quarter, on the other hand, could mean that advertisers are holding back. For Snap specifically, a strong quarter could highlight strength in the company's ad products and Snap's ability to capture wallet share from advertisers as the economy reopens.\nSnap reports its first-quarter results after market close on Thursday, Apr. 22.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371283802,"gmtCreate":1618940834206,"gmtModify":1704717278439,"author":{"id":"3582033172728351","authorId":"3582033172728351","authorIdStr":"3582033172728351","name":"Yinchao","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6e9c82a8a8455be0859b197a8998533","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582033172728351"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good tip","listText":"Good tip","text":"Good tip","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/371283802","repostId":"2128842616","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":150,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
