It’s why we’re introducing new store commerce models and policies.”</p>\n<p>The move is certain to rankle executives at both Apple and Google, which are facing antitrust investigations into their app store practices.</p>\n<p>Apple is awaiting a ruling in an antitrust case brought by Epic Games, in which the “Fortnite” developer accused the iPhone maker of abusing its market power over the App Store by forcing developers to use its own payment system and fork over the associated fees.</p>\n<p>Google, meanwhile, faces a similar lawsuit from Epic and is expected to get slapped with a lawsuit from a collection of state attorneys general for its app store policies.</p>\n<h3><b>Microsoft has been criticizing Apple’s policies</b></h3>\n<p>This isn’t the first time Microsoft has called out its rivals and their app stores. The company has criticized Apple’s policies in the past, specifically Apple’s policy of taking a share of revenue from Microsoft apps purchased through the Apple App Store.</p>\n<p>More recently, Microsoft sparred with Apple over its desire to get its xCloud cloud gaming platform onto the iPhone via a native app. Apple has pushed back, hampering Microsoft’s cloud gaming ambitions and forcing it to make users rely on a browser-style app.</p>\n<p>That led Microsoft to meet and lodge a complaint with members of the House Antitrust Subcommittee during the body’s investigation into Apple, Google, Amazon, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a>.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d92ddac610658f60945c72fc4da23210\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"640\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Microsoft has debuted the latest version of its Windows operating system: Windows 11. (Image: Microsoft)Microsoft</p>\n<p>Microsoft also took aim at Apple in the iPhone maker’s battle with “Fortnite” developer Epic Games.

It’s why we’re introducing new store commerce models and policies.”\nThe move is certain to rankle executives at both Apple and Google, which are facing antitrust investigations into their app store practices.\nApple is awaiting a ruling in an antitrust case brought by Epic Games, in which the “Fortnite” developer accused the iPhone maker of abusing its market power over the App Store by forcing developers to use its own payment system and fork over the associated fees.\nGoogle, meanwhile, faces a similar lawsuit from Epic and is expected to get slapped with a lawsuit from a collection of state attorneys general for its app store policies.\nMicrosoft has been criticizing Apple’s policies\nThis isn’t the first time Microsoft has called out its rivals and their app stores. The company has criticized Apple’s policies in the past, specifically Apple’s policy of taking a share of revenue from Microsoft apps purchased through the Apple App Store.\nMore recently, Microsoft sparred with Apple over its desire to get its xCloud cloud gaming platform onto the iPhone via a native app. Apple has pushed back, hampering Microsoft’s cloud gaming ambitions and forcing it to make users rely on a browser-style app.\nThat led Microsoft to meet and lodge a complaint with members of the House Antitrust Subcommittee during the body’s investigation into Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook.\nMicrosoft has debuted the latest version of its Windows operating system: Windows 11. (Image: Microsoft)Microsoft\nMicrosoft also took aim at Apple in the iPhone maker’s battle with “Fortnite” developer Epic Games. In that instance, Microsoft filed a statement of support for Epic in its fight to prevent Apple withholding iOS support for Epic’s Unreal Engine.\nEpic initially sued Apple and Google after the two companies removed “Fornite” from their respective app stores. Apple and Google argue that Epic implemented an update that added a separate payment system allowing consumers to circumvent Apple or Google’s payment services. That effectively cut out Apple and Google’s 30% app store fees.\nEpic’s fight with Apple wrapped up earlier this month and a ruling is expected before the end of the summer.\nMicrosoft could win over developers\nWith its decision to allow developers to use their own payment systems, Microsoft is sending a signal to the global developer community that it is willing to play by their rules. That could help the company as it seeks to build out its app store and drive more business for Windows.\nWhile Microsoft was caught flat-footed in the smartphone wars, its moves with the Windows 11 Microsoft Store could give it the kind of boost from developers that it needs to begin taking market share from Apple and Google in the fight for app store supremacy. It’s now up to Apple and Google to respond.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168211825,"gmtCreate":1623976031367,"gmtModify":1703825091434,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/168211825","repostId":"1198149770","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198149770","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1623974643,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198149770?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 08:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Adobe Q2 Earnings Beat Expectations","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198149770","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Adobe stock is trading higher late Thursday after the creative-software company posted better-than-e","content":"<p>Adobe stock is trading higher late Thursday after the creative-software company posted better-than-expected results for its fiscal second quarter ended June 4.</p>\n<p>For the quarter, Adobe (ticker: ADBE) reported revenue of $3.84 billion, up 23% from a year ago, and ahead of the company’s forecast of $3.72 billion.

PYPL and SQ’s technology was already in demand before Covid, though the pandemic might have given them a boost.</p>\n<p><b>Fresh Earnings Could Cast Light On Supply Shortages, Costs</b></p>\n<p>Getting back from the newest models to a veteran,<b>&nbsp;General Motors</b>GM 2.48%reports tomorrow. Like other car companies, GM’s earnings call could offer an interesting perspective on the semiconductor chip shortage.&nbsp;<b>Ford</b>F 1.98%said last week the problem is taking a greater toll on its business than previously expected and could put pressure on its operating results in the second half of the year. For more on how the chip shortage is affecting car makers, see below.</p>\n<p>Some of the supply shortages in chips and beyond might be playing out in the economic data this week. ISM manufacturing for April released on Monday came in below Wall Street’s expectations at 60.7%, down from 64.7% a month earlier. Supply chain disruptions and higher raw material costs might have played into the lower number.</p>\n<p>The Fed has been saying inflation will be transitory, but we’ll see if they end up being right. A couple of weeks ago&nbsp;<b>Intel</b>INTC 1.77%said the chip shortage could last two years. President Biden’s infrastructure plan envisions more domestic production of these products, but you can’t turn on the assembly lines overnight, and there’s still no guarantee the entire bill as it exists now will become reality.</p>\n<p>In other data to watch, the ISM non-manufacturing index for April is due Wednesday. Consensus on Wall Street is for a headline figure of 65.0%, up from 63.7% in March, according to research firm Briefing.com.</p>\n<p>Of course, the biggest report this week is Friday’s non-farm payrolls, where analysts expect a cool million new jobs created in April vs. 916,000 in March. We’ll dig into that a little more tomorrow, with some things worth watching in the report beyond that headline number. Stay tuned.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/da99b665ba0fa3e07d7fc1e25ce3dd62\" tg-width=\"780\" tg-height=\"412\"></p>\n<p><b>CHART OF THE DAY:THE MORE THINGS CHANGE...</b>A few weeks ago we ran this same chart of the S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX—candlestick) vs. its 50-day moving average (blue line). Not much has changed since then. The index still holds a firm premium to the 50-day, and hasn’t come close to testing it in over a month. The 50-day is now just above 4000, and every time this year the index tested it, the result was a solid rebound. The question is, if the market sells off a bit and tests this important technical area, will it hold again? If not, more technical selling could break out, changing this long-running pattern. Data Source: S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices.Chart source: The&nbsp;thinkorswim® platform.&nbsp;<i>For illustrative purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.</i></p>\n<p><b>Horse’s Mouth Time:</b>&nbsp;Something that might be worth paying attention to today is the Wall Street Journal’s CEO summit, which starts this morning and features interviews with&nbsp;<b>JP Morgan Chase</b>JPM 0.04%CEO Jamie Dimon,&nbsp;<b>Merck</b>MRK 0.03%Chairman and CEO Kenneth C. Frazier, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.</p>\n<p>Dimon’s going to be asked about the economic rebound and the markets, the WSJ said, but it might be interesting to see if they ask him any questions about the banking industry now that Q1 earnings are in the rearview mirror. Some analysts note that activity on Wall Street—especially on the&nbsp;Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC)&nbsp;front—has slowed down slightly in Q2, and wonder if that means the sizzling investment banking revenues enjoyed by the industry in Q1 might not be as easy to scoop up this quarter. SPACs raised $82 billion last year, the WSJ reported.</p>\n<p><b>Earnings Come Down The Stretch With A&nbsp;Lead:</b>&nbsp;We’ve heard a lot of analysts say what a great earnings season it’s been, but it’s another thing to see the actual number plugged in. How does this sound? 45.8%. That’s the average S&amp;P 500 earnings growth with 60% of companies now reporting, according to research firm Factset. If it remains there or higher for the rest of the way, it will be the best earnings growth for a quarter since the economy was emerging from the financial crisis in early 2010. It also leaves analysts’ average estimate of 24% earnings growth going into the reporting period completely in the dust. In fact, 86% of companies are beating analyst estimates on earnings, and 78% on revenue, Factset says.</p>\n<p>This all sounds good, but you’ll hear some naysayers tell you most of the strength in earnings was built into stock prices going in. Actually, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, and you can see that if you follow the 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio for the S&amp;P 500. It’s now at 22, by Factset’s reckoning, and that’s down from nearly 24 at the start of 2021. Over the same year-to-date time frame, the S&amp;P Equal Weight 500 jumped 16.2%, research firm CFRA noted Monday (equal weight means each of the 500 companies in the index is given a fixed weight instead of the index being weighted by market cap). In other words, stocks have risen while valuations fell, which is a neat trick.</p>\n<p><b>No Chips, No Ride:</b>&nbsp;Have you driven by a car dealership lately? If so, you may have noticed that everything seems more or less in place, except for the cars, that is—they’re missing. As we reported earlier this year, the semiconductor sector is undergoing a massive worldwide shortage. For car buyers, this may mean longer waits and higher prices. And by the way, new cars aren’t the only ones impacted by the shortage. The average price of used cars jumped 12.5% over the last year, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association.</p>\n<p>For automakers, however, this means wider sales, some even seeing record profits as vehicles are sold before they make it to the sales lot. Investors might want to keep an eye on companies like&nbsp;<b>General Motors</b>GM 2.48%,&nbsp;<b>Ford</b>F 1.98%, and other manufacturers to see how the chip shortage may be impacting their bottom lines. Might the shortage in rides be a ticket to ride the chip shortage to the upside?</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>Sharing A Ride To The Reopening: Uber, Lyft Earnings Could Offer Hints To Life Beyond The Pandemic</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\">\nSharing A Ride To The Reopening: Uber, Lyft Earnings Could Offer Hints To Life Beyond The Pandemic\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Benzinga </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-05-04 22:54</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>After racing into earnings season, stocks have basically treaded water the last two weeks.

It’s now at 22, by Factset’s reckoning, and that’s down from nearly 24 at the start of 2021. Over the same year-to-date time frame, the S&amp;P Equal Weight 500 jumped 16.2%, research firm CFRA noted Monday (equal weight means each of the 500 companies in the index is given a fixed weight instead of the index being weighted by market cap).

The S&P 500 Index (SPX) finished Monday less than 1% changed from mid-April when reporting season began.\nThat’s despite an amazing Q1 earnings performance by S&P 500 companies so far, with average earnings per share up more than 40%. With more than half of the reporting season done, 86% of companies have beaten earnings expectations, according to FactSet.\nWhen you accompany that with the lack of gains in major indices, you have to ask yourself how much of the good news was priced in. We were already at all-time highs ahead of the reporting period, so can the reality match the expectations?\nAnyway, this stall in forward progress isn’t something to be overly concerned about. We’re heading into summer, which tends to be a time of lighter volumes, but lighter volumes can mean good things as well.\nFor the next act, investors might have their eyes peeled on ride-sharing companies Lyft Technologies Inc.LYFT 4.39%and UberUBER 3.03%today and tomorrow to see if they can provide insight into reopening progress.\nSolid Reporting Season Continues With CVS, Pfizer\nBefore that, investors got another set of solid earnings news this morning as CVSCVS 3%and PfizerPFE 0.45%outran consensus expectations and raised guidance. PFE raised revenue guidance by 18% for the year, which is pretty impressive. Some of that is related to their Covid vaccine, but not all of it.\nTechnology—particularly the so-called “FAANG” sector of that group—appeared to be taking the worst of it early Tuesday. The Tech sector is by far the worst SPX performer over the last week even though earnings from most of the “mega-caps” in that sector looked solid. At the same time, cyclical sectors—think Financials and Energy—have led gains recently. It’s more along the lines of what we were seeing earlier this year before Tech made a move going into earnings season.\nCall it what you want: “Consolidation” is a word some people are using to describe this lack of direction in the markets amid a slowing news flow. The directionless trading appears to be extending into Tuesday, with major indices losing ground ahead of the opening bell and the closely-watched 10-year Treasury yield back at 1.6%, right in the middle of its recent range.\nStill, commodity prices—and not just the semiconductors we’ve talked about recently—are on the rise, with the Bloomberg Commodity Index ($BCOM) among those commodity benchmarks sitting on multi-year highs. Even if long-dated Treasury yields remain muted and the Fed sticks to its narrative of “transitory inflation” (see more below), commodities seem to be factoring in higher prices.\nVolatility is up slightly, too, not surprising considering the pressure on stocks. Keep an eye on the 20 level for the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX). We’re only slightly below that benchmark figure, and looking at forward contracts, the message looks like we’ll continue to bounce around for a while.\nEarnings Season About To Catch A Ride\nIt’s kind of fitting that “reopening” stocks led the way Monday in a week that features earnings fromUber Technologies Inc.UBER 3.03%andLyftLYFT 4.39%, two companies that would likely stand to benefit if people are getting out more. LYFT is expected to report today after the close and UBER is up to bat tomorrow after the close.\nBoth companies are apparently having some trouble finding drivers to meet all the new demand, kind of a good problem to have. However, it could be costly, with both having to spend more on driver incentives. There’s also a regulatory headwind after the U.S. Labor secretary told Reuters that many gig economy workers should be treated as employees.\nIf that ends up happening nationwide and UBER and LYFT have to treat drivers as employees instead of independent contractors, it seems that would substantially increase costs for these companies. However, that’s far from settled yet.\nIn the meantime, what investors probably want to know is whether LYFT and UBER were able to continue cutting their losses in Q1 after shrinking their annual net losses last time out. They’re still going to likely face tough comparisons on revenue because a lot of the 2020 quarter they’re comparing to took place before the pandemic hit last March.\nIn contrast, other big earnings reports over the coming days include some of the companies many investors embraced big time last year when the pandemic hit. We’re talking PelotonPTON 0.71%, PaypalPYPL 3.11%, ModernaMRNA 4.59%, SquareSQ 2.71%, and Roku Inc.ROKU 3.81%.  A lot of these companies had an amazing performance in 2020, but might have pulled forward years of demand. Now, as the economy reopens, they face pressure to explain how they’re going to drive toward profits and how they can keep the excitement going.\nIt’s not like these are necessarily stocks you can consider flash in the pans. People who got used to exercising at home and invested in a PTON machine probably aren’t going to abandon it for the gym right away, or necessarily at all. And MRNA’s vaccine technology has possibilities beyond the success of their Covid vaccine, analysts recently told Barron’s. PYPL and SQ’s technology was already in demand before Covid, though the pandemic might have given them a boost.\nFresh Earnings Could Cast Light On Supply Shortages, Costs\nGetting back from the newest models to a veteran, General MotorsGM 2.48%reports tomorrow. Like other car companies, GM’s earnings call could offer an interesting perspective on the semiconductor chip shortage. FordF 1.98%said last week the problem is taking a greater toll on its business than previously expected and could put pressure on its operating results in the second half of the year. For more on how the chip shortage is affecting car makers, see below.\nSome of the supply shortages in chips and beyond might be playing out in the economic data this week.

Since taking the helm ofBerkshire Hathaway(NYSE:","content":"<p>Warren Buffett is an investing icon on Wall Street. Since taking the helm of<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)in the mid-1960s, he's led his company's stock to an annualized return of 20%. That nearly doubles up the total annual return, including dividends, for the<b>S&amp;P 500</b>of 10.2% since 1965. In aggregate, Buffett's company has outperformed the widely followed S&amp;P 500 by almost 2,800,000% in 56 years.</p>\n<p>What's interesting aboutBuffett's investing strategyis that he's keeping things simple. He's focusing his research on a handful of sectors, buying companies that he believes offer sustainable competitive advantages, and, most importantly, hanging onto those businesses for long periods of time and allowing compounding to work its magic. Approximatelya fifth of the Oracle of Omaha's portfoliohas been held for 15 or more years.</p>\n<p>However, a trio of Buffett holdings really stand out for their tenure. After reviewing U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for December 2020, 112.3 million Americans weren't even alive the last time Berkshire Hathaway didn't own these three stocks.</p>\n<p>Coca-Cola</p>\n<p>If you want to talk about the power of compounding and conviction, look no further than Warren Buffett's holding in beverage giant<b>Coca-Cola</b>(NYSE:KO). Berkshire Hathaway has been afaithful holder of Coca-Cola stock since 1988.</p>\n<p>Aside from an insanely low cost basis, one of the reasons Buffett sticks with Coca-Cola is the company'sgeographic reach. With the exception of North Korea and Cuba, Coke's products can be found in every other country around the world. This means the company benefits from the steady cash flow and its 20% share of cold beverages in developed markets, as well as its 10% share and the juicier growth prospects of emerging market countries. All told, Coke has more than 20 beverage brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales.</p>\n<p>Coca-Cola's success can be attributed to its excellent marketing campaigns, too. The company has clear holiday tie-ins, can reach consumers via point-of-sale advertising, is pushing into digital ads, and has an army of well-known ambassadors. Coke is possibly the most well-recognize consumer goods brand in existence today.</p>\n<p>For Berkshire Hathaway, it's also a big-time moneymaker. With a cost basis of about $3.25 a share and an annual dividend payout of $1.68, Warren Buffett's yield on cost for Coca-Cola is 52%! No joke: Buffettdoubles his initial investment every two yearsfrom the dividend alone.</p>\n<p>Wells Fargo</p>\n<p>Another holding that's been in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio longer than 112 million Americans have been alive is money-center bank<b>Wells Fargo</b>(NYSE:WFC). Even though the Oracle of Omaha and his teamhave dramatically reduced their company's stake in Wells Fargo, it's been a continuous holding since 1989.</p>\n<p>There's no sector that Buffett thinks more highly of than financials, and no industry that's sought after more than banking. In an expansionary economy,bank stocksare money machines. They're generally growing their loan and deposit portfolio, and in a growing economy can often return a healthy portion of capital to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.</p>\n<p>Wells Fargo's niche has always been its ability to attract affluent clientele. Wealthier clients are more likely to take advantage of multiple Wells Fargo services, and they're less likely to lapse on their loan obligations or shift their spending habits during minor economic disruptions. They've long been the company's bread-and-butter growth driver.</p>\n<p>But as noted, Buffett and his team have reduced their stake in Wells Fargo by 427 million shares, or about 89%, over the past four years. This probably has to do with the company admitting that3.5 million unauthorized accountswere opened between 2009 and 2016 as part of an aggressive cross-selling push at the branch level. Buffett is a big believer in earning and holding the trust of consumers and shareholders. With that trust broken following this admission, Buffett appears to be looking for greener pastures for his company's capital.</p>\n<p>American Express</p>\n<p>The third longest-tenured stock in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio is financial services giant<b>American Express</b>(NYSE:AXP), which has been a continuous holding since 1993. If you aren't at least 28 years old right now, you weren't alive the last time Buffett didn't own AmEx.</p>\n<p>Like most payment processors, American Express is part of a numbers game that's very much in its favor over the long run. Even though recessions and contractions are a normal part of the economic cycle, periods of expansion tend to be measured in years, whereas recessions typically last a few months to a couple of quarters.</p>\n<p>American Express is also what we can call a double-dipper. It generates revenue from merchants by processing transactions and also brings in a separate channel of revenue by issuing credit cards to consumers and businesses. This allows the company to collect fees and interest income, but can also expose it to credit delinquencies during contractions and recessions.</p>\n<p>Like Wells Fargo, AmEx's secret sauce has long been itsconnection to affluent cardholders.

Since taking the helm ofBerkshire Hathaway(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)in the mid-1960s, he's led his company's stock to an annualized return of 20%. That nearly doubles up the total annual return, including dividends, for theS&P 500of 10.2% since 1965. In aggregate, Buffett's company has outperformed the widely followed S&P 500 by almost 2,800,000% in 56 years.\nWhat's interesting aboutBuffett's investing strategyis that he's keeping things simple. He's focusing his research on a handful of sectors, buying companies that he believes offer sustainable competitive advantages, and, most importantly, hanging onto those businesses for long periods of time and allowing compounding to work its magic. Approximatelya fifth of the Oracle of Omaha's portfoliohas been held for 15 or more years.\nHowever, a trio of Buffett holdings really stand out for their tenure. After reviewing U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for December 2020, 112.3 million Americans weren't even alive the last time Berkshire Hathaway didn't own these three stocks.\nCoca-Cola\nIf you want to talk about the power of compounding and conviction, look no further than Warren Buffett's holding in beverage giantCoca-Cola(NYSE:KO). Berkshire Hathaway has been afaithful holder of Coca-Cola stock since 1988.\nAside from an insanely low cost basis, one of the reasons Buffett sticks with Coca-Cola is the company'sgeographic reach. With the exception of North Korea and Cuba, Coke's products can be found in every other country around the world. This means the company benefits from the steady cash flow and its 20% share of cold beverages in developed markets, as well as its 10% share and the juicier growth prospects of emerging market countries. All told, Coke has more than 20 beverage brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales.\nCoca-Cola's success can be attributed to its excellent marketing campaigns, too. The company has clear holiday tie-ins, can reach consumers via point-of-sale advertising, is pushing into digital ads, and has an army of well-known ambassadors. Coke is possibly the most well-recognize consumer goods brand in existence today.\nFor Berkshire Hathaway, it's also a big-time moneymaker. With a cost basis of about $3.25 a share and an annual dividend payout of $1.68, Warren Buffett's yield on cost for Coca-Cola is 52%! No joke: Buffettdoubles his initial investment every two yearsfrom the dividend alone.\nWells Fargo\nAnother holding that's been in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio longer than 112 million Americans have been alive is money-center bankWells Fargo(NYSE:WFC). Even though the Oracle of Omaha and his teamhave dramatically reduced their company's stake in Wells Fargo, it's been a continuous holding since 1989.\nThere's no sector that Buffett thinks more highly of than financials, and no industry that's sought after more than banking. In an expansionary economy,bank stocksare money machines. They're generally growing their loan and deposit portfolio, and in a growing economy can often return a healthy portion of capital to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.\nWells Fargo's niche has always been its ability to attract affluent clientele. Wealthier clients are more likely to take advantage of multiple Wells Fargo services, and they're less likely to lapse on their loan obligations or shift their spending habits during minor economic disruptions. They've long been the company's bread-and-butter growth driver.\nBut as noted, Buffett and his team have reduced their stake in Wells Fargo by 427 million shares, or about 89%, over the past four years. This probably has to do with the company admitting that3.5 million unauthorized accountswere opened between 2009 and 2016 as part of an aggressive cross-selling push at the branch level. Buffett is a big believer in earning and holding the trust of consumers and shareholders. With that trust broken following this admission, Buffett appears to be looking for greener pastures for his company's capital.\nAmerican Express\nThe third longest-tenured stock in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio is financial services giantAmerican Express(NYSE:AXP), which has been a continuous holding since 1993. If you aren't at least 28 years old right now, you weren't alive the last time Buffett didn't own AmEx.\nLike most payment processors, American Express is part of a numbers game that's very much in its favor over the long run. Even though recessions and contractions are a normal part of the economic cycle, periods of expansion tend to be measured in years, whereas recessions typically last a few months to a couple of quarters.\nAmerican Express is also what we can call a double-dipper. It generates revenue from merchants by processing transactions and also brings in a separate channel of revenue by issuing credit cards to consumers and businesses. This allows the company to collect fees and interest income, but can also expose it to credit delinquencies during contractions and recessions.\nLike Wells Fargo, AmEx's secret sauce has long been itsconnection to affluent cardholders. Well-to-do customers are less likely to change their spending habits when minor economic hiccups arise, meaning American Express's cash flow tends to be a bit more secure than other credit card issuers.\nWith a cost basis of only $8.49 and an annual base payout of $1.72, Berkshire Hathaway isnetting a hearty 20% yield on cost with AmEx.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":616,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374821400,"gmtCreate":1619439538600,"gmtModify":1704723852926,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nic2","listText":"Nic2","text":"Nic2","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374821400","repostId":"1111949311","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111949311","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619436683,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111949311?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-26 19:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stabilis Solutions Announces Approval to List on the Nasdaq Capital Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111949311","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"HOUSTON, TX/ ACCESSWIRE / April 26, 2021 / Stabilis Solutions, Inc.

But just because the market averages remain strong, that doesn't mean everything is doing well. In fact, many stocks trade well below their 52-week highs, including <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications</b> (NASDAQ:ZM), <b>Peloton Interactive</b> (NASDAQ:PTON), and <b>Magnite</b> (NASDAQ:MGNI).</p>\n<p>All three of these stocks were big winners in 2020, up 396%, 434%, and 276%, respectively. As we'll see, there are good reasons to buy and hold these past winners, but all three companies are down around 40% from their 52-week highs as investors abandon their long-term theses. Here's why giving up on these stocks so soon is a big mistake.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5dabb0b68fe32e12c1462accee7e973b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"474\"><span>Image source: Zoom Video Communications.</span></p>\n<h2><b>But we're getting back to normal!</b></h2>\n<p>In 2020, Zoom enabled people to continue their social and work lives even as they physically distanced themselves to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. But the situation is rapidly changing. Half of the U.S adult population has now received a dose of a coronavirus vaccine, and about a quarter is already fully vaccinated.</p>\n<p>Investors fear that the once ubiquitous Zoom call will be an afterthought in a post-pandemic world. But the company's management doesn't see it that way. Sure, it doesn't anticipate matching its 326% annual revenue growth from 2020,&nbsp;but Zoom is still guiding for 42% growth in 2021 -- over $1 billion more in incremental revenue. That's an impressive growth rate for any company, and it's especially impressive on the heels of a historic year. And management gave this guidance fully aware that the world is starting to return to normal.</p>\n<p>Much of management's optimism comes from its Zoom Phone product. Many Zoom video customers have increased their spending to include an overhaul of their infrastructure for voice. Packaging voice and video together makes sense, giving Zoom the upper hand in landing contracts with more of its customers. And as workers return to the office, it increases the likelihood of companies seeing Zoom Phone as a timely and necessary upgrade.</p>\n<p>However, the true wild card for Zoom, in my opinion, is its optionality for the future. It generated $1.4 billion in free cash flow in 2020 and ended 2020 with $4.2 billion in cash and marketable securities, giving it a lot of firepower to pursue other business opportunities in the workplace-management space. Furthermore, management is actively looking for suitable companies to acquire right now, giving Zoom more expansion potential.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff9670874674cc33173b4f85f8dff5e6\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Peloton Interactive.</span></p>\n<h2><b>But gyms are reopening!</b></h2>\n<p>Similar to investors' misgivings over Zoom, many are giving up on Peloton because brick-and-mortar gyms have a clear path to fully reopening. For example, consider that 90% of <b>Planet Fitness</b> gyms are now open. In short, the home-fitness space had little competition in 2020, but the competition is back.</p>\n<p>Tapping into the wide open market, Peloton doubled its revenue in fiscal 2020 (ended June 30, 2020) to $1.8 billion. On a calendar basis, revenue was up 139% last year. But those who are writing off Peloton are forgetting something important: Its compound annual growth rate for revenue is over 100% since 2017. In other words, fiscal 2020's top-line result wasn't an anomaly.</p>\n<p>Moreover, something important is happening beneath the surface with Peloton. When the company sells a treadmill or stationary bike, it also starts collecting subscription revenue for its interactive content. In fiscal 2020, roughly 20% of total revenue came from its subscription segment -- on par with the previous year. But as this subscription service scales, its profit margin is expanding. Subscription revenue had a 43% gross margin in fiscal 2019. In 2020, it carried a 57% margin.</p>\n<p>Peloton is guiding for at least 123% revenue growth in fiscal 2021 even though gyms are reopening. And its profitability is expanding along with the subscription business. To me, its long-term prospects still look very bright.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/556055ca286d98de498e4f102ac0af63\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"465\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>But there's limited upside!</h2>\n<p>Since its initial public offering, shares of <b>The Trade Desk</b> are up well over 2,000%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the biggest market winners over the last five years. In 2020, investors started looking at Magnite as a younger version of The Trade Desk -- an unfortunate comparison leading to unrealistic expectations.</p>\n<p>The Trade Desk is a demand-side ad-tech company, whereas Magnite is the largest independent <i>supply</i>-side ad-tech company.

And because there are more advertisers than publishers, demand-side players logically have longer growth runways.</p>\n<p>It seems investors are waking up to the more-limited upside for supply-side ad-tech players and are now giving up on Magnite stock.

This undeniable trend equally benefits supply-side companies like Magnite and smaller competitor <b>PubMatic</b>. But being the biggest supply-side player in the space has its advantages as Magnite's recent deal with Innovid illustrates.</p>\n<p>Innovid is a company that's bringing more interactive ads&nbsp;to CTV, and it just announced it's partnering with The Trade Desk and Magnite to increase adoption. Interactive ads can increase consumer engagement, which is a reason advertisers may increasingly pursue this style of CTV ad. And I don't think it's a coincidence Innovid chose Magnite as a partner -- as the biggest players, Magnite and The Trade Desk have scale to increase the project's odds of success. Indeed, Magnite's scale is partly why I consider it a top way to play the CTV trend.</p>\n<h2><b>Don't give up</b></h2>\n<p>Investors shouldn't be contrarian just to be different. But when you have good reason to make a contrarian investment, it can pay off. I believe that's the case with these companies. Zoom, Peloton, and Magnite may have fallen out of favor in recent months, but if they continue to capitalize on their long-term opportunities, Wall Street will eventually come back around to these stocks, rewarding the investors who patiently endured these down times.</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>Wall Street Is Giving Up on These 3 Stocks, and That's a Huge Mistake</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWall Street Is Giving Up on These 3 Stocks, and That's a Huge Mistake\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-25 13:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/24/wall-street-giving-up-on-3-stocks-huge-mistake/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Stock market indexes like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are trading within about 2% of all-time highs as of this writing.

But just because the market averages remain strong, that doesn't mean everything is doing well. In fact, many stocks trade well below their 52-week highs, including Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ:ZM), Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON), and Magnite (NASDAQ:MGNI).\nAll three of these stocks were big winners in 2020, up 396%, 434%, and 276%, respectively. As we'll see, there are good reasons to buy and hold these past winners, but all three companies are down around 40% from their 52-week highs as investors abandon their long-term theses. Here's why giving up on these stocks so soon is a big mistake.\nImage source: Zoom Video Communications.\nBut we're getting back to normal!\nIn 2020, Zoom enabled people to continue their social and work lives even as they physically distanced themselves to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. But the situation is rapidly changing. Half of the U.S adult population has now received a dose of a coronavirus vaccine, and about a quarter is already fully vaccinated.\nInvestors fear that the once ubiquitous Zoom call will be an afterthought in a post-pandemic world. But the company's management doesn't see it that way. Sure, it doesn't anticipate matching its 326% annual revenue growth from 2020, but Zoom is still guiding for 42% growth in 2021 -- over $1 billion more in incremental revenue. That's an impressive growth rate for any company, and it's especially impressive on the heels of a historic year. And management gave this guidance fully aware that the world is starting to return to normal.\nMuch of management's optimism comes from its Zoom Phone product. Many Zoom video customers have increased their spending to include an overhaul of their infrastructure for voice. Packaging voice and video together makes sense, giving Zoom the upper hand in landing contracts with more of its customers. And as workers return to the office, it increases the likelihood of companies seeing Zoom Phone as a timely and necessary upgrade.\nHowever, the true wild card for Zoom, in my opinion, is its optionality for the future. It generated $1.4 billion in free cash flow in 2020 and ended 2020 with $4.2 billion in cash and marketable securities, giving it a lot of firepower to pursue other business opportunities in the workplace-management space. Furthermore, management is actively looking for suitable companies to acquire right now, giving Zoom more expansion potential.\nImage source: Peloton Interactive.\nBut gyms are reopening!\nSimilar to investors' misgivings over Zoom, many are giving up on Peloton because brick-and-mortar gyms have a clear path to fully reopening. For example, consider that 90% of Planet Fitness gyms are now open. In short, the home-fitness space had little competition in 2020, but the competition is back.\nTapping into the wide open market, Peloton doubled its revenue in fiscal 2020 (ended June 30, 2020) to $1.8 billion. On a calendar basis, revenue was up 139% last year. But those who are writing off Peloton are forgetting something important: Its compound annual growth rate for revenue is over 100% since 2017. In other words, fiscal 2020's top-line result wasn't an anomaly.\nMoreover, something important is happening beneath the surface with Peloton. When the company sells a treadmill or stationary bike, it also starts collecting subscription revenue for its interactive content. In fiscal 2020, roughly 20% of total revenue came from its subscription segment -- on par with the previous year. But as this subscription service scales, its profit margin is expanding. Subscription revenue had a 43% gross margin in fiscal 2019. In 2020, it carried a 57% margin.\nPeloton is guiding for at least 123% revenue growth in fiscal 2021 even though gyms are reopening. And its profitability is expanding along with the subscription business. To me, its long-term prospects still look very bright.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBut there's limited upside!\nSince its initial public offering, shares of The Trade Desk are up well over 2,000%, making it one of the biggest market winners over the last five years. In 2020, investors started looking at Magnite as a younger version of The Trade Desk -- an unfortunate comparison leading to unrealistic expectations.\nThe Trade Desk is a demand-side ad-tech company, whereas Magnite is the largest independent supply-side ad-tech company. We need both the demand side and supply side, yes. But supply-side players partner with publishers instead of advertisers. And because there are more advertisers than publishers, demand-side players logically have longer growth runways.\nIt seems investors are waking up to the more-limited upside for supply-side ad-tech players and are now giving up on Magnite stock. But just because the space is smaller doesn't mean the stock can't beat the market from here.\nAccording to a recent survey by the Interactive Advertising Bureau, 60% of advertisers plan to shift spending away from linear-TV sources (like cable) and toward connected-TV (CTV) in 2021. And eMarketer expects CTV spending to nearly double in the next two years alone. This undeniable trend equally benefits supply-side companies like Magnite and smaller competitor PubMatic. But being the biggest supply-side player in the space has its advantages as Magnite's recent deal with Innovid illustrates.\nInnovid is a company that's bringing more interactive ads to CTV, and it just announced it's partnering with The Trade Desk and Magnite to increase adoption. Interactive ads can increase consumer engagement, which is a reason advertisers may increasingly pursue this style of CTV ad. And I don't think it's a coincidence Innovid chose Magnite as a partner -- as the biggest players, Magnite and The Trade Desk have scale to increase the project's odds of success. Indeed, Magnite's scale is partly why I consider it a top way to play the CTV trend.\nDon't give up\nInvestors shouldn't be contrarian just to be different. But when you have good reason to make a contrarian investment, it can pay off. I believe that's the case with these companies. Zoom, Peloton, and Magnite may have fallen out of favor in recent months, but if they continue to capitalize on their long-term opportunities, Wall Street will eventually come back around to these stocks, rewarding the investors who patiently endured these down times.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":382,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372176981,"gmtCreate":1619188285043,"gmtModify":1704721035608,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372176981","repostId":"1143062408","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143062408","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619162341,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143062408?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 15:19","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore Names Wong as New Finance Minister in Cabinet Shake-Up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143062408","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Lawrence Wong was named Singapore’s next finance minister in a cabinetreshuffleFriday, boosting his ","content":"<p>Lawrence Wong was named Singapore’s next finance minister in a cabinetreshuffleFriday, boosting his prominence as the city-state reboots its leadership transition plan.</p>\n<p>The appointment follows Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat’s surprise announcement about two weeks ago that he’sstepping asideas the designated successor to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong within the People’s Action Party, which has led the country since independence.

Now, as the economy reopens, they face pressure to explain how they’re going to drive toward profits and how they can keep the excitement going.</p>\n<p>It’s not like these are necessarily stocks you can consider flash in the pans. People who got used to exercising at home and invested in a PTON machine probably aren’t going to abandon it for the gym right away, or necessarily at all.

PYPL and SQ’s technology was already in demand before Covid, though the pandemic might have given them a boost.</p>\n<p><b>Fresh Earnings Could Cast Light On Supply Shortages, Costs</b></p>\n<p>Getting back from the newest models to a veteran,<b>&nbsp;General Motors</b>GM 2.48%reports tomorrow.

For more on how the chip shortage is affecting car makers, see below.</p>\n<p>Some of the supply shortages in chips and beyond might be playing out in the economic data this week. ISM manufacturing for April released on Monday came in below Wall Street’s expectations at 60.7%, down from 64.7% a month earlier. Supply chain disruptions and higher raw material costs might have played into the lower number.</p>\n<p>The Fed has been saying inflation will be transitory, but we’ll see if they end up being right. A couple of weeks ago&nbsp;<b>Intel</b>INTC 1.77%said the chip shortage could last two years. President Biden’s infrastructure plan envisions more domestic production of these products, but you can’t turn on the assembly lines overnight, and there’s still no guarantee the entire bill as it exists now will become reality.</p>\n<p>In other data to watch, the ISM non-manufacturing index for April is due Wednesday. Consensus on Wall Street is for a headline figure of 65.0%, up from 63.7% in March, according to research firm Briefing.com.</p>\n<p>Of course, the biggest report this week is Friday’s non-farm payrolls, where analysts expect a cool million new jobs created in April vs. 916,000 in March. We’ll dig into that a little more tomorrow, with some things worth watching in the report beyond that headline number.

Not much has changed since then. The index still holds a firm premium to the 50-day, and hasn’t come close to testing it in over a month. The 50-day is now just above 4000, and every time this year the index tested it, the result was a solid rebound. The question is, if the market sells off a bit and tests this important technical area, will it hold again? If not, more technical selling could break out, changing this long-running pattern. Data Source: S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices.Chart source: The&nbsp;thinkorswim® platform.&nbsp;<i>For illustrative purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.</i></p>\n<p><b>Horse’s Mouth Time:</b>&nbsp;Something that might be worth paying attention to today is the Wall Street Journal’s CEO summit, which starts this morning and features interviews with&nbsp;<b>JP Morgan Chase</b>JPM 0.04%CEO Jamie Dimon,&nbsp;<b>Merck</b>MRK 0.03%Chairman and CEO Kenneth C. Frazier, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.</p>\n<p>Dimon’s going to be asked about the economic rebound and the markets, the WSJ said, but it might be interesting to see if they ask him any questions about the banking industry now that Q1 earnings are in the rearview mirror. Some analysts note that activity on Wall Street—especially on the&nbsp;Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC)&nbsp;front—has slowed down slightly in Q2, and wonder if that means the sizzling investment banking revenues enjoyed by the industry in Q1 might not be as easy to scoop up this quarter. SPACs raised $82 billion last year, the WSJ reported.</p>\n<p><b>Earnings Come Down The Stretch With A&nbsp;Lead:</b>&nbsp;We’ve heard a lot of analysts say what a great earnings season it’s been, but it’s another thing to see the actual number plugged in. How does this sound? 45.8%. That’s the average S&amp;P 500 earnings growth with 60% of companies now reporting, according to research firm Factset. If it remains there or higher for the rest of the way, it will be the best earnings growth for a quarter since the economy was emerging from the financial crisis in early 2010. It also leaves analysts’ average estimate of 24% earnings growth going into the reporting period completely in the dust. In fact, 86% of companies are beating analyst estimates on earnings, and 78% on revenue, Factset says.</p>\n<p>This all sounds good, but you’ll hear some naysayers tell you most of the strength in earnings was built into stock prices going in. Actually, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, and you can see that if you follow the 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio for the S&amp;P 500. It’s now at 22, by Factset’s reckoning, and that’s down from nearly 24 at the start of 2021. Over the same year-to-date time frame, the S&amp;P Equal Weight 500 jumped 16.2%, research firm CFRA noted Monday (equal weight means each of the 500 companies in the index is given a fixed weight instead of the index being weighted by market cap). In other words, stocks have risen while valuations fell, which is a neat trick.</p>\n<p><b>No Chips, No Ride:</b>&nbsp;Have you driven by a car dealership lately? If so, you may have noticed that everything seems more or less in place, except for the cars, that is—they’re missing. As we reported earlier this year, the semiconductor sector is undergoing a massive worldwide shortage. For car buyers, this may mean longer waits and higher prices. And by the way, new cars aren’t the only ones impacted by the shortage. The average price of used cars jumped 12.5% over the last year, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association.</p>\n<p>For automakers, however, this means wider sales, some even seeing record profits as vehicles are sold before they make it to the sales lot. Investors might want to keep an eye on companies like&nbsp;<b>General Motors</b>GM 2.48%,&nbsp;<b>Ford</b>F 1.98%, and other manufacturers to see how the chip shortage may be impacting their bottom lines.

However, that’s far from settled yet.\nIn the meantime, what investors probably want to know is whether LYFT and UBER were able to continue cutting their losses in Q1 after shrinking their annual net losses last time out. They’re still going to likely face tough comparisons on revenue because a lot of the 2020 quarter they’re comparing to took place before the pandemic hit last March.\nIn contrast, other big earnings reports over the coming days include some of the companies many investors embraced big time last year when the pandemic hit. We’re talking PelotonPTON 0.71%, PaypalPYPL 3.11%, ModernaMRNA 4.59%, SquareSQ 2.71%, and Roku Inc.ROKU 3.81%.  A lot of these companies had an amazing performance in 2020, but might have pulled forward years of demand. Now, as the economy reopens, they face pressure to explain how they’re going to drive toward profits and how they can keep the excitement going.\nIt’s not like these are necessarily stocks you can consider flash in the pans. People who got used to exercising at home and invested in a PTON machine probably aren’t going to abandon it for the gym right away, or necessarily at all. And MRNA’s vaccine technology has possibilities beyond the success of their Covid vaccine, analysts recently told Barron’s. PYPL and SQ’s technology was already in demand before Covid, though the pandemic might have given them a boost.\nFresh Earnings Could Cast Light On Supply Shortages, Costs\nGetting back from the newest models to a veteran, General MotorsGM 2.48%reports tomorrow. Like other car companies, GM’s earnings call could offer an interesting perspective on the semiconductor chip shortage. FordF 1.98%said last week the problem is taking a greater toll on its business than previously expected and could put pressure on its operating results in the second half of the year. For more on how the chip shortage is affecting car makers, see below.\nSome of the supply shortages in chips and beyond might be playing out in the economic data this week. ISM manufacturing for April released on Monday came in below Wall Street’s expectations at 60.7%, down from 64.7% a month earlier. Supply chain disruptions and higher raw material costs might have played into the lower number.\nThe Fed has been saying inflation will be transitory, but we’ll see if they end up being right. A couple of weeks ago IntelINTC 1.77%said the chip shortage could last two years. President Biden’s infrastructure plan envisions more domestic production of these products, but you can’t turn on the assembly lines overnight, and there’s still no guarantee the entire bill as it exists now will become reality.\nIn other data to watch, the ISM non-manufacturing index for April is due Wednesday. Consensus on Wall Street is for a headline figure of 65.0%, up from 63.7% in March, according to research firm Briefing.com.\nOf course, the biggest report this week is Friday’s non-farm payrolls, where analysts expect a cool million new jobs created in April vs. 916,000 in March. We’ll dig into that a little more tomorrow, with some things worth watching in the report beyond that headline number. Stay tuned.\n\nCHART OF THE DAY:THE MORE THINGS CHANGE...A few weeks ago we ran this same chart of the S&P 500 Index (SPX—candlestick) vs. its 50-day moving average (blue line). Not much has changed since then. The index still holds a firm premium to the 50-day, and hasn’t come close to testing it in over a month. The 50-day is now just above 4000, and every time this year the index tested it, the result was a solid rebound. The question is, if the market sells off a bit and tests this important technical area, will it hold again? If not, more technical selling could break out, changing this long-running pattern. Data Source: S&P Dow Jones Indices.Chart source: The thinkorswim® platform. For illustrative purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.\nHorse’s Mouth Time: Something that might be worth paying attention to today is the Wall Street Journal’s CEO summit, which starts this morning and features interviews with JP Morgan ChaseJPM 0.04%CEO Jamie Dimon, MerckMRK 0.03%Chairman and CEO Kenneth C. Frazier, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.\nDimon’s going to be asked about the economic rebound and the markets, the WSJ said, but it might be interesting to see if they ask him any questions about the banking industry now that Q1 earnings are in the rearview mirror. Some analysts note that activity on Wall Street—especially on the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) front—has slowed down slightly in Q2, and wonder if that means the sizzling investment banking revenues enjoyed by the industry in Q1 might not be as easy to scoop up this quarter. SPACs raised $82 billion last year, the WSJ reported.\nEarnings Come Down The Stretch With A Lead: We’ve heard a lot of analysts say what a great earnings season it’s been, but it’s another thing to see the actual number plugged in. How does this sound? 45.8%. That’s the average S&P 500 earnings growth with 60% of companies now reporting, according to research firm Factset. If it remains there or higher for the rest of the way, it will be the best earnings growth for a quarter since the economy was emerging from the financial crisis in early 2010. It also leaves analysts’ average estimate of 24% earnings growth going into the reporting period completely in the dust. In fact, 86% of companies are beating analyst estimates on earnings, and 78% on revenue, Factset says.\nThis all sounds good, but you’ll hear some naysayers tell you most of the strength in earnings was built into stock prices going in. Actually, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, and you can see that if you follow the 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio for the S&P 500. It’s now at 22, by Factset’s reckoning, and that’s down from nearly 24 at the start of 2021. Over the same year-to-date time frame, the S&P Equal Weight 500 jumped 16.2%, research firm CFRA noted Monday (equal weight means each of the 500 companies in the index is given a fixed weight instead of the index being weighted by market cap). In other words, stocks have risen while valuations fell, which is a neat trick.\nNo Chips, No Ride: Have you driven by a car dealership lately? If so, you may have noticed that everything seems more or less in place, except for the cars, that is—they’re missing. As we reported earlier this year, the semiconductor sector is undergoing a massive worldwide shortage. For car buyers, this may mean longer waits and higher prices. And by the way, new cars aren’t the only ones impacted by the shortage. The average price of used cars jumped 12.5% over the last year, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association.\nFor automakers, however, this means wider sales, some even seeing record profits as vehicles are sold before they make it to the sales lot. Investors might want to keep an eye on companies like General MotorsGM 2.48%, FordF 1.98%, and other manufacturers to see how the chip shortage may be impacting their bottom lines. Might the shortage in rides be a ticket to ride the chip shortage to the upside?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":336,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":102432749,"gmtCreate":1620229403181,"gmtModify":1704340553775,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/102432749","repostId":"1148686352","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148686352","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1620224535,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148686352?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-05 22:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This Day In Market History: Panic Of 1893 Crashes Stock Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148686352","media":"benzinga","summary":"What Happened?On this day in 1893, U.S. stocks suffered their worst intraday loss in history at the ","content":"<p><b>What Happened?</b>On this day in 1893, U.S. stocks suffered their worst intraday loss in history at the time.</p>\n<p><b>Where The Market Was:</b>The Dow finished the day at 30.02.</p>\n<p><b>What Else Was Going On In The World?</b>In 1893, Thomas Edison completed the world’s first movie studio in West Orange, New Jersey.

Since taking the helm ofBerkshire Hathaway(NYSE:","content":"<p>Warren Buffett is an investing icon on Wall Street. Since taking the helm of<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)in the mid-1960s, he's led his company's stock to an annualized return of 20%. That nearly doubles up the total annual return, including dividends, for the<b>S&amp;P 500</b>of 10.2% since 1965. In aggregate, Buffett's company has outperformed the widely followed S&amp;P 500 by almost 2,800,000% in 56 years.</p>\n<p>What's interesting aboutBuffett's investing strategyis that he's keeping things simple. He's focusing his research on a handful of sectors, buying companies that he believes offer sustainable competitive advantages, and, most importantly, hanging onto those businesses for long periods of time and allowing compounding to work its magic. Approximatelya fifth of the Oracle of Omaha's portfoliohas been held for 15 or more years.</p>\n<p>However, a trio of Buffett holdings really stand out for their tenure. After reviewing U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for December 2020, 112.3 million Americans weren't even alive the last time Berkshire Hathaway didn't own these three stocks.</p>\n<p>Coca-Cola</p>\n<p>If you want to talk about the power of compounding and conviction, look no further than Warren Buffett's holding in beverage giant<b>Coca-Cola</b>(NYSE:KO). Berkshire Hathaway has been afaithful holder of Coca-Cola stock since 1988.</p>\n<p>Aside from an insanely low cost basis, one of the reasons Buffett sticks with Coca-Cola is the company'sgeographic reach. With the exception of North Korea and Cuba, Coke's products can be found in every other country around the world. This means the company benefits from the steady cash flow and its 20% share of cold beverages in developed markets, as well as its 10% share and the juicier growth prospects of emerging market countries. All told, Coke has more than 20 beverage brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales.</p>\n<p>Coca-Cola's success can be attributed to its excellent marketing campaigns, too. The company has clear holiday tie-ins, can reach consumers via point-of-sale advertising, is pushing into digital ads, and has an army of well-known ambassadors. Coke is possibly the most well-recognize consumer goods brand in existence today.</p>\n<p>For Berkshire Hathaway, it's also a big-time moneymaker. With a cost basis of about $3.25 a share and an annual dividend payout of $1.68, Warren Buffett's yield on cost for Coca-Cola is 52%! No joke: Buffettdoubles his initial investment every two yearsfrom the dividend alone.</p>\n<p>Wells Fargo</p>\n<p>Another holding that's been in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio longer than 112 million Americans have been alive is money-center bank<b>Wells Fargo</b>(NYSE:WFC). Even though the Oracle of Omaha and his teamhave dramatically reduced their company's stake in Wells Fargo, it's been a continuous holding since 1989.</p>\n<p>There's no sector that Buffett thinks more highly of than financials, and no industry that's sought after more than banking. In an expansionary economy,bank stocksare money machines. They're generally growing their loan and deposit portfolio, and in a growing economy can often return a healthy portion of capital to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.</p>\n<p>Wells Fargo's niche has always been its ability to attract affluent clientele. Wealthier clients are more likely to take advantage of multiple Wells Fargo services, and they're less likely to lapse on their loan obligations or shift their spending habits during minor economic disruptions. They've long been the company's bread-and-butter growth driver.</p>\n<p>But as noted, Buffett and his team have reduced their stake in Wells Fargo by 427 million shares, or about 89%, over the past four years. This probably has to do with the company admitting that3.5 million unauthorized accountswere opened between 2009 and 2016 as part of an aggressive cross-selling push at the branch level. Buffett is a big believer in earning and holding the trust of consumers and shareholders. With that trust broken following this admission, Buffett appears to be looking for greener pastures for his company's capital.</p>\n<p>American Express</p>\n<p>The third longest-tenured stock in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio is financial services giant<b>American Express</b>(NYSE:AXP), which has been a continuous holding since 1993. If you aren't at least 28 years old right now, you weren't alive the last time Buffett didn't own AmEx.</p>\n<p>Like most payment processors, American Express is part of a numbers game that's very much in its favor over the long run. Even though recessions and contractions are a normal part of the economic cycle, periods of expansion tend to be measured in years, whereas recessions typically last a few months to a couple of quarters.</p>\n<p>American Express is also what we can call a double-dipper.

Since taking the helm ofBerkshire Hathaway(NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)in the mid-1960s, he's led his company's stock to an annualized return of 20%. That nearly doubles up the total annual return, including dividends, for theS&P 500of 10.2% since 1965. In aggregate, Buffett's company has outperformed the widely followed S&P 500 by almost 2,800,000% in 56 years.\nWhat's interesting aboutBuffett's investing strategyis that he's keeping things simple. He's focusing his research on a handful of sectors, buying companies that he believes offer sustainable competitive advantages, and, most importantly, hanging onto those businesses for long periods of time and allowing compounding to work its magic. Approximatelya fifth of the Oracle of Omaha's portfoliohas been held for 15 or more years.\nHowever, a trio of Buffett holdings really stand out for their tenure. After reviewing U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for December 2020, 112.3 million Americans weren't even alive the last time Berkshire Hathaway didn't own these three stocks.\nCoca-Cola\nIf you want to talk about the power of compounding and conviction, look no further than Warren Buffett's holding in beverage giantCoca-Cola(NYSE:KO). Berkshire Hathaway has been afaithful holder of Coca-Cola stock since 1988.\nAside from an insanely low cost basis, one of the reasons Buffett sticks with Coca-Cola is the company'sgeographic reach. With the exception of North Korea and Cuba, Coke's products can be found in every other country around the world. This means the company benefits from the steady cash flow and its 20% share of cold beverages in developed markets, as well as its 10% share and the juicier growth prospects of emerging market countries. All told, Coke has more than 20 beverage brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales.\nCoca-Cola's success can be attributed to its excellent marketing campaigns, too. The company has clear holiday tie-ins, can reach consumers via point-of-sale advertising, is pushing into digital ads, and has an army of well-known ambassadors. Coke is possibly the most well-recognize consumer goods brand in existence today.\nFor Berkshire Hathaway, it's also a big-time moneymaker. With a cost basis of about $3.25 a share and an annual dividend payout of $1.68, Warren Buffett's yield on cost for Coca-Cola is 52%! No joke: Buffettdoubles his initial investment every two yearsfrom the dividend alone.\nWells Fargo\nAnother holding that's been in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio longer than 112 million Americans have been alive is money-center bankWells Fargo(NYSE:WFC). Even though the Oracle of Omaha and his teamhave dramatically reduced their company's stake in Wells Fargo, it's been a continuous holding since 1989.\nThere's no sector that Buffett thinks more highly of than financials, and no industry that's sought after more than banking. In an expansionary economy,bank stocksare money machines. They're generally growing their loan and deposit portfolio, and in a growing economy can often return a healthy portion of capital to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.\nWells Fargo's niche has always been its ability to attract affluent clientele. Wealthier clients are more likely to take advantage of multiple Wells Fargo services, and they're less likely to lapse on their loan obligations or shift their spending habits during minor economic disruptions. They've long been the company's bread-and-butter growth driver.\nBut as noted, Buffett and his team have reduced their stake in Wells Fargo by 427 million shares, or about 89%, over the past four years. This probably has to do with the company admitting that3.5 million unauthorized accountswere opened between 2009 and 2016 as part of an aggressive cross-selling push at the branch level. Buffett is a big believer in earning and holding the trust of consumers and shareholders. With that trust broken following this admission, Buffett appears to be looking for greener pastures for his company's capital.\nAmerican Express\nThe third longest-tenured stock in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio is financial services giantAmerican Express(NYSE:AXP), which has been a continuous holding since 1993. If you aren't at least 28 years old right now, you weren't alive the last time Buffett didn't own AmEx.\nLike most payment processors, American Express is part of a numbers game that's very much in its favor over the long run. Even though recessions and contractions are a normal part of the economic cycle, periods of expansion tend to be measured in years, whereas recessions typically last a few months to a couple of quarters.\nAmerican Express is also what we can call a double-dipper. It generates revenue from merchants by processing transactions and also brings in a separate channel of revenue by issuing credit cards to consumers and businesses. This allows the company to collect fees and interest income, but can also expose it to credit delinquencies during contractions and recessions.\nLike Wells Fargo, AmEx's secret sauce has long been itsconnection to affluent cardholders. Well-to-do customers are less likely to change their spending habits when minor economic hiccups arise, meaning American Express's cash flow tends to be a bit more secure than other credit card issuers.\nWith a cost basis of only $8.49 and an annual base payout of $1.72, Berkshire Hathaway isnetting a hearty 20% yield on cost with AmEx.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":616,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375695610,"gmtCreate":1619329963930,"gmtModify":1704722554345,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375695610","repostId":"2129804364","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129804364","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1619329400,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2129804364?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-25 13:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Is Giving Up on These 3 Stocks, and That's a Huge Mistake","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129804364","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Conventional wisdom has concocted reasons to abandon these investments, but in each case, the market is missing the bigger picture.","content":"<p>Stock market indexes like the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and the <b>Nasdaq</b> are trading within about 2% of all-time highs as of this writing. But just because the market averages remain strong, that doesn't mean everything is doing well.

As we'll see, there are good reasons to buy and hold these past winners, but all three companies are down around 40% from their 52-week highs as investors abandon their long-term theses. Here's why giving up on these stocks so soon is a big mistake.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5dabb0b68fe32e12c1462accee7e973b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"474\"><span>Image source: Zoom Video Communications.</span></p>\n<h2><b>But we're getting back to normal!</b></h2>\n<p>In 2020, Zoom enabled people to continue their social and work lives even as they physically distanced themselves to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. But the situation is rapidly changing. Half of the U.S adult population has now received a dose of a coronavirus vaccine, and about a quarter is already fully vaccinated.</p>\n<p>Investors fear that the once ubiquitous Zoom call will be an afterthought in a post-pandemic world. But the company's management doesn't see it that way. Sure, it doesn't anticipate matching its 326% annual revenue growth from 2020,&nbsp;but Zoom is still guiding for 42% growth in 2021 -- over $1 billion more in incremental revenue. That's an impressive growth rate for any company, and it's especially impressive on the heels of a historic year. And management gave this guidance fully aware that the world is starting to return to normal.</p>\n<p>Much of management's optimism comes from its Zoom Phone product. Many Zoom video customers have increased their spending to include an overhaul of their infrastructure for voice. Packaging voice and video together makes sense, giving Zoom the upper hand in landing contracts with more of its customers. And as workers return to the office, it increases the likelihood of companies seeing Zoom Phone as a timely and necessary upgrade.</p>\n<p>However, the true wild card for Zoom, in my opinion, is its optionality for the future. It generated $1.4 billion in free cash flow in 2020 and ended 2020 with $4.2 billion in cash and marketable securities, giving it a lot of firepower to pursue other business opportunities in the workplace-management space. Furthermore, management is actively looking for suitable companies to acquire right now, giving Zoom more expansion potential.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff9670874674cc33173b4f85f8dff5e6\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Peloton Interactive.</span></p>\n<h2><b>But gyms are reopening!</b></h2>\n<p>Similar to investors' misgivings over Zoom, many are giving up on Peloton because brick-and-mortar gyms have a clear path to fully reopening. For example, consider that 90% of <b>Planet Fitness</b> gyms are now open. In short, the home-fitness space had little competition in 2020, but the competition is back.</p>\n<p>Tapping into the wide open market, Peloton doubled its revenue in fiscal 2020 (ended June 30, 2020) to $1.8 billion. On a calendar basis, revenue was up 139% last year. But those who are writing off Peloton are forgetting something important: Its compound annual growth rate for revenue is over 100% since 2017. In other words, fiscal 2020's top-line result wasn't an anomaly.</p>\n<p>Moreover, something important is happening beneath the surface with Peloton. When the company sells a treadmill or stationary bike, it also starts collecting subscription revenue for its interactive content. In fiscal 2020, roughly 20% of total revenue came from its subscription segment -- on par with the previous year. But as this subscription service scales, its profit margin is expanding. Subscription revenue had a 43% gross margin in fiscal 2019. In 2020, it carried a 57% margin.</p>\n<p>Peloton is guiding for at least 123% revenue growth in fiscal 2021 even though gyms are reopening. And its profitability is expanding along with the subscription business. To me, its long-term prospects still look very bright.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/556055ca286d98de498e4f102ac0af63\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"465\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>But there's limited upside!</h2>\n<p>Since its initial public offering, shares of <b>The Trade Desk</b> are up well over 2,000%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the biggest market winners over the last five years. In 2020, investors started looking at Magnite as a younger version of The Trade Desk -- an unfortunate comparison leading to unrealistic expectations.</p>\n<p>The Trade Desk is a demand-side ad-tech company, whereas Magnite is the largest independent <i>supply</i>-side ad-tech company. We need both the demand side and supply side, yes. But supply-side players partner with publishers instead of advertisers. And because there are more advertisers than publishers, demand-side players logically have longer growth runways.</p>\n<p>It seems investors are waking up to the more-limited upside for supply-side ad-tech players and are now giving up on Magnite stock. But just because the space is smaller doesn't mean the stock can't beat the market from here.</p>\n<p>According to a recent survey by the Interactive Advertising Bureau, 60% of advertisers plan to shift spending away from linear-TV sources (like cable) and toward connected-TV (CTV) in 2021.&nbsp;And eMarketer expects CTV spending to nearly <i>double</i> in the next two years alone. This undeniable trend equally benefits supply-side companies like Magnite and smaller competitor <b>PubMatic</b>. But being the biggest supply-side player in the space has its advantages as Magnite's recent deal with Innovid illustrates.</p>\n<p>Innovid is a company that's bringing more interactive ads&nbsp;to CTV, and it just announced it's partnering with The Trade Desk and Magnite to increase adoption. Interactive ads can increase consumer engagement, which is a reason advertisers may increasingly pursue this style of CTV ad. And I don't think it's a coincidence Innovid chose Magnite as a partner -- as the biggest players, Magnite and The Trade Desk have scale to increase the project's odds of success. Indeed, Magnite's scale is partly why I consider it a top way to play the CTV trend.</p>\n<h2><b>Don't give up</b></h2>\n<p>Investors shouldn't be contrarian just to be different. But when you have good reason to make a contrarian investment, it can pay off. I believe that's the case with these companies. Zoom, Peloton, and Magnite may have fallen out of favor in recent months, but if they continue to capitalize on their long-term opportunities, Wall Street will eventually come back around to these stocks, rewarding the investors who patiently endured these down times.</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>Wall Street Is Giving Up on These 3 Stocks, and That's a Huge Mistake</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWall Street Is Giving Up on These 3 Stocks, and That's a Huge Mistake\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-25 13:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/24/wall-street-giving-up-on-3-stocks-huge-mistake/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Stock market indexes like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are trading within about 2% of all-time highs as of this writing.

And its profitability is expanding along with the subscription business. To me, its long-term prospects still look very bright.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBut there's limited upside!\nSince its initial public offering, shares of The Trade Desk are up well over 2,000%, making it one of the biggest market winners over the last five years. In 2020, investors started looking at Magnite as a younger version of The Trade Desk -- an unfortunate comparison leading to unrealistic expectations.\nThe Trade Desk is a demand-side ad-tech company, whereas Magnite is the largest independent supply-side ad-tech company. We need both the demand side and supply side, yes. But supply-side players partner with publishers instead of advertisers. And because there are more advertisers than publishers, demand-side players logically have longer growth runways.\nIt seems investors are waking up to the more-limited upside for supply-side ad-tech players and are now giving up on Magnite stock. But just because the space is smaller doesn't mean the stock can't beat the market from here.\nAccording to a recent survey by the Interactive Advertising Bureau, 60% of advertisers plan to shift spending away from linear-TV sources (like cable) and toward connected-TV (CTV) in 2021. And eMarketer expects CTV spending to nearly double in the next two years alone. This undeniable trend equally benefits supply-side companies like Magnite and smaller competitor PubMatic. But being the biggest supply-side player in the space has its advantages as Magnite's recent deal with Innovid illustrates.\nInnovid is a company that's bringing more interactive ads to CTV, and it just announced it's partnering with The Trade Desk and Magnite to increase adoption. Interactive ads can increase consumer engagement, which is a reason advertisers may increasingly pursue this style of CTV ad. And I don't think it's a coincidence Innovid chose Magnite as a partner -- as the biggest players, Magnite and The Trade Desk have scale to increase the project's odds of success. Indeed, Magnite's scale is partly why I consider it a top way to play the CTV trend.\nDon't give up\nInvestors shouldn't be contrarian just to be different. But when you have good reason to make a contrarian investment, it can pay off. I believe that's the case with these companies. Zoom, Peloton, and Magnite may have fallen out of favor in recent months, but if they continue to capitalize on their long-term opportunities, Wall Street will eventually come back around to these stocks, rewarding the investors who patiently endured these down times.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":382,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372176981,"gmtCreate":1619188285043,"gmtModify":1704721035608,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372176981","repostId":"1143062408","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143062408","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619162341,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143062408?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 15:19","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore Names Wong as New Finance Minister in Cabinet Shake-Up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143062408","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Lawrence Wong was named Singapore’s next finance minister in a cabinetreshuffleFriday, boosting his ","content":"<p>Lawrence Wong was named Singapore’s next finance minister in a cabinetreshuffleFriday, boosting his prominence as the city-state reboots its leadership transition plan.</p>\n<p>The appointment follows Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat’s surprise announcement about two weeks ago that he’sstepping asideas the designated successor to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong within the People’s Action Party, which has led the country since independence.

In that instance, Microsoft filed a statement of support for Epic in its fight to prevent Apple withholding iOS support for Epic’s Unreal Engine.\nEpic initially sued Apple and Google after the two companies removed “Fornite” from their respective app stores. Apple and Google argue that Epic implemented an update that added a separate payment system allowing consumers to circumvent Apple or Google’s payment services. That effectively cut out Apple and Google’s 30% app store fees.\nEpic’s fight with Apple wrapped up earlier this month and a ruling is expected before the end of the summer.\nMicrosoft could win over developers\nWith its decision to allow developers to use their own payment systems, Microsoft is sending a signal to the global developer community that it is willing to play by their rules. That could help the company as it seeks to build out its app store and drive more business for Windows.\nWhile Microsoft was caught flat-footed in the smartphone wars, its moves with the Windows 11 Microsoft Store could give it the kind of boost from developers that it needs to begin taking market share from Apple and Google in the fight for app store supremacy. It’s now up to Apple and Google to respond.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168211825,"gmtCreate":1623976031367,"gmtModify":1703825091434,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/168211825","repostId":"1198149770","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198149770","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1623974643,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198149770?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 08:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Adobe Q2 Earnings Beat Expectations","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198149770","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Adobe stock is trading higher late Thursday after the creative-software company posted better-than-e","content":"<p>Adobe stock is trading higher late Thursday after the creative-software company posted better-than-expected results for its fiscal second quarter ended June 4.</p>\n<p>For the quarter, Adobe (ticker: ADBE) reported revenue of $3.84 billion, up 23% from a year ago, and ahead of the company’s forecast of $3.72 billion.

If it was lost on them, they wouldn’t have the conversations,\" she said.\n\"Our view is too much risk is priced in at these levels.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169422969,"gmtCreate":1623848330251,"gmtModify":1703821265218,"author":{"id":"3582186464195509","authorId":"3582186464195509","name":"NatLes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b43caad3f66e096e80cd51903169d84","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582186464195509","authorIdStr":"3582186464195509"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169422969","repostId":"1185341836","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185341836","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1623845207,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185341836?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 20:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Wednesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185341836","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stock index futures were mostly flat on Wednesday ahead of the Federal Reserve's update on mone","content":"<p>U.S. stock index futures were mostly flat on Wednesday ahead of the&nbsp;Federal Reserve's update&nbsp;on monetary policy.</p>\n<p>Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were just 46 points lower.
