However, in late November 2023, I upgraded the stock to &#34;Buy&#34; seeing a jump in PayPal&#39;s fair value.

PayPal reported a 9% revenue growth driven by a $410 billion total payment volume (+5.7% YoY). The company maintained strong expense discipline, reducing non-transaction-related expenses by 9% YoY. This led to a 19% YoY increase in non-GAAP EPS, beating the consensus estimate and reflecting solid financial results amidst significant organizational changes.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c140768879bce7aee4468826db07458\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha, PYPL\" title=\"Seeking Alpha, PYPL\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"266\"/><span>Seeking Alpha, PYPL</span></p><p>Despite a slight decrease in growth compared to the prior quarter, PayPal maintained robust performance in unbranded checkout, primarily driven by a 29% YoY increase in Payment Service Provider (PSP) volumes, fueled by growth in Braintree. The company anticipates further benefits from initiatives such as Fast Lane, aimed at streamlining checkout processes, and plans to explore opportunities for higher-margin transactions in international and small business sectors.</p><p>Speaking about the Small and Medium-sized Business (SMB) merchants, PayPal&#39;s continued momentum was evident through the expansion of PayPal Complete Payments (PPCP), marked by record customer adoption, reduced merchant churn rates, and increased transaction volume for migrating merchants. PayPal aims to capitalize further on this segment, targeting the vast $750 billion TAM of SMB processing volumes.</p><p>During the earnings call, PYPL&#39;s management outlined strategic priorities aimed at accelerating growth, improving profitability, leveraging data for value creation, and enhancing operational efficiency. Initiatives include accelerating growth in branded checkout, driving profitable growth in PSP services, and focusing on small business solutions like PPCP.</p><p>If we look at the state of the &#34;Buy Now, Pay Later&#34; (BNPL) industry, where PayPal is trying to actively develop, we see that it&#39;s experiencing significant growth, though it still represents a small portion of the overall consumer credit space, according to the latest Morgan Stanley&#39;s report (proprietary source). Usage of BNPL options has surged in recent years, especially during holiday seasons and promotional events. This rise in popularity is partly driven by tightening lending standards and higher inflation rates, making BNPL more attractive, particularly for younger and lower-credit-quality households.</p><p>Looking forward, PayPal guided for Q1 FY2024, expecting revenue to increase approximately 6.5% at spot and 7% on a currency-neutral basis, with non-GAAP EPS projected to grow at a mid-single-digit percentage. For the full year, PayPal anticipates non-GAAP EPS to be roughly in line with the prior year, with minimal impact from recent innovations. The management said it intends to reinvest cost savings into strategic product initiatives, prioritizing sustainable and profitable growth in 2024. I believe that the reason why investors were disappointed and sold heavily on February 8 after the report and commentary was due to the discrepancy between forecasting flat EPS momentum despite the expected cost savings and profit growth promised for this year.</p><p><em>What the market has missed in my opinion, however, is PayPal&#39;s opportunity to qualitatively expand its ecosystem.</em></p><p>PYPL is the largest BNPL industry player in the world with a massive 68.1% market share. In my view, PayPal&#39;s market dominance could fuel growth acceleration in the medium term, thanks to its new strategy emphasizing disciplined go-to-market strategies and renewals. This strategy places a specific emphasis on innovative checkout solutions, enhancements to consumer apps, and the consolidation of its technological infrastructure onto a single platform to maximize data synergies.</p><p>In other words, PayPal is trying to create a data-driven &#39;super-app&#39; - a unified digital wallet - enabling users to manage various financial services seamlessly. Users can transfer funds across multiple channels and to various recipients using preferred funding sources like card products, PayPal or Venmo balances, cryptocurrencies, and BNPL options. This effort is likely to drive the company&#39;s TPV volumes further thanks to digital payment adoption, international expansion, and improved checkout conversion rates.</p><p>Also, PayPal&#39;s guidance for at least $5 billion of share buybacks exceeded FactSet&#39;s expectations (Goldman Sachs data, proprietary source), indicating additional support for the stock in the foreseeable future. Additionally, while non-transaction operating expenses are anticipated to grow slightly in FY2024 due to increased investment in new product initiatives, PayPal remains committed to delivering value to shareholders while pursuing strategic growth opportunities.</p><p>PayPal is systematically reducing the number of its shares outstanding, and even a relatively high SBC of ~4.8% (Q4 FY2023, YCharts data) cannot stop this strong downward trend. At the same time, the forwarding FCF yield of 7.9% (based on my calculations and PYPL&#39;s guidance) seems attractive today if we assume growth acceleration beyond 2024.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80f0bcb98d0c251a3510fcce04ac0cd2\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"456\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>In my opinion, the market is wrong about PYPL&#39;s stock price today because it assumes no growth for 2024 and ignores the growth prospects for 2025-2027. We see this in the consensus forecasts (Seeking Alpha Premium data): PYPL&#39;s lack of EPS growth in FY2024 gives way to growth recovery as early as 2025, resulting in a longer-term EPS CAGR of +6.15% and an implied P/E ratio falling to 8.64x in FY2027:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b1b3635cad6c63c823e1f5253b56dca7\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha Premium, PYPL, author&#39;s notes\" title=\"Seeking Alpha Premium, PYPL, author&#39;s notes\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"227\"/><span>Seeking Alpha Premium, PYPL, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>The forecasted standardized profit and loss report from analysts at Goldman Sachs illuminates a crucial prerequisite for the anticipated upswing in PYPL&#39;s financials rating post FY2024:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ace1f1b73c8d27e7d958888fc9d1882\" alt=\"Goldman Sachs [proprietary source], author&#39;s notes\" title=\"Goldman Sachs [proprietary source], author&#39;s notes\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"311\"/><span>Goldman Sachs [proprietary source], author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>Goldman&#39;s FY2025 EPS forecast of $5.65 is in line with consensus. Let&#39;s assume PYPL&#39;s P/E approaches 13x by the end of FY2025 as the business transforms and growth accelerates. In the historical context, this seems to be a very conservative assumption considering where PYPL&#39;s multiples were 2-3 years ago.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aec9bc409a8e6a73622b70b12f8d4edb\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"456\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>With this input data, I get a price objective of $73.45, which is 24.7% above today&#39;s price. This means that if an investor is willing to buy the PYPL stock now, assuming that the company&#39;s strategic efforts will be at least partially realized, then he/she can potentially achieve an above-market return in the medium term with a very conservative exit valuation multiple. I therefore maintain my &#39;Buy&#39; rating, despite the sharp fall in the stock price that we saw after PayPal&#39;s quarterly figures.</p><h2 id=\"id_1168112181\">Risks To My Thesis</h2><p>Investing in PayPal carries inherent risks, notably regulatory uncertainties and fierce competition in the fintech sector. Established players like ApplePay and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a>&#39;s Checkout pose formidable challenges to PayPal&#39;s market share and profit margins. Moreover, cybersecurity threats and economic fluctuations further compound these risks, potentially eroding consumer trust and transaction volumes.</p><p>Additionally, PayPal faces execution risks in sustaining user growth amidst evolving market dynamics. The company must navigate transaction margin pressures while adapting to changing consumer preferences, especially in mobile payment services. Furthermore, macroeconomic factors and currency exchange rate fluctuations add complexity to its risk profile. Effectively managing these risks is essential for PayPal to maintain its market position and capitalize on growth opportunities.</p><p>So make sure you do your own due diligence before you buy PYPL stock: Seeking Alpha Premium&#39;s many offerings, as well as research from other authors, may help you with this.</p><h2 id=\"id_3098573252\">The Verdict</h2><p>Despite the abundance of negativity following the publication of the Q4 FY2023 results, PayPal&#39;s prospects look interesting in the medium term as the strategic plan is implemented. In the long term, competition will be a strong headwind, but name me a fintech company that doesn&#39;t have serious competition today. PayPal&#39;s revenue origination looks very stable today, and the focus on quality growth going forward with the expansion of business margins next year (which I hope for) should provide even more opportunities for FCF generation in my opinion. And as we&#39;ve seen in recent quarters, PayPal&#39;s approach to using its FCF for buybacks is already positioning the company as a solid value-like play in the industry. Based on all of the factors discussed, I&#39;m reiterating my previous &#34;Buy&#34; rating today with a medium-term price objective of $73.45/share.

So PYPL is still a \"Buy\" for me despite many risks surrounding the company.chameleonseyeIntro & ThesisI initiated coverage of PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock in May 2023, initially giving them a \"Hold\" rating, citing slowing business growth rates and still expensive valuation at the time. However, in late November 2023, I upgraded the stock to \"Buy\" seeing a jump in PayPal's fair value. Since then, PayPal has seen a 17% surge before experiencing an 11% decline after the latest report for Q4 FY2023.Author's coverage of PYPL stockDespite the negative reaction following the company's report and the accompanying comments from management, I am inclined to believe that this was an overreaction and that the market does not fully understand what the company's transformation efforts could lead to in the medium term.Why Do I Think So?First off, let's quickly review the actual results for the past quarter.In Q4 FY2023, PayPal reported a 5% YoY increase in branded checkout growth, slightly down from the previous period but still in line with expectations. PayPal reported a 9% revenue growth driven by a $410 billion total payment volume (+5.7% YoY). The company maintained strong expense discipline, reducing non-transaction-related expenses by 9% YoY. This led to a 19% YoY increase in non-GAAP EPS, beating the consensus estimate and reflecting solid financial results amidst significant organizational changes.Seeking Alpha, PYPLDespite a slight decrease in growth compared to the prior quarter, PayPal maintained robust performance in unbranded checkout, primarily driven by a 29% YoY increase in Payment Service Provider (PSP) volumes, fueled by growth in Braintree. The company anticipates further benefits from initiatives such as Fast Lane, aimed at streamlining checkout processes, and plans to explore opportunities for higher-margin transactions in international and small business sectors.Speaking about the Small and Medium-sized Business (SMB) merchants, PayPal's continued momentum was evident through the expansion of PayPal Complete Payments (PPCP), marked by record customer adoption, reduced merchant churn rates, and increased transaction volume for migrating merchants. PayPal aims to capitalize further on this segment, targeting the vast $750 billion TAM of SMB processing volumes.During the earnings call, PYPL's management outlined strategic priorities aimed at accelerating growth, improving profitability, leveraging data for value creation, and enhancing operational efficiency. Initiatives include accelerating growth in branded checkout, driving profitable growth in PSP services, and focusing on small business solutions like PPCP.If we look at the state of the \"Buy Now, Pay Later\" (BNPL) industry, where PayPal is trying to actively develop, we see that it's experiencing significant growth, though it still represents a small portion of the overall consumer credit space, according to the latest Morgan Stanley's report (proprietary source). Usage of BNPL options has surged in recent years, especially during holiday seasons and promotional events. This rise in popularity is partly driven by tightening lending standards and higher inflation rates, making BNPL more attractive, particularly for younger and lower-credit-quality households.Looking forward, PayPal guided for Q1 FY2024, expecting revenue to increase approximately 6.5% at spot and 7% on a currency-neutral basis, with non-GAAP EPS projected to grow at a mid-single-digit percentage. For the full year, PayPal anticipates non-GAAP EPS to be roughly in line with the prior year, with minimal impact from recent innovations. The management said it intends to reinvest cost savings into strategic product initiatives, prioritizing sustainable and profitable growth in 2024. I believe that the reason why investors were disappointed and sold heavily on February 8 after the report and commentary was due to the discrepancy between forecasting flat EPS momentum despite the expected cost savings and profit growth promised for this year.What the market has missed in my opinion, however, is PayPal's opportunity to qualitatively expand its ecosystem.PYPL is the largest BNPL industry player in the world with a massive 68.1% market share. In my view, PayPal's market dominance could fuel growth acceleration in the medium term, thanks to its new strategy emphasizing disciplined go-to-market strategies and renewals. This strategy places a specific emphasis on innovative checkout solutions, enhancements to consumer apps, and the consolidation of its technological infrastructure onto a single platform to maximize data synergies.In other words, PayPal is trying to create a data-driven 'super-app' - a unified digital wallet - enabling users to manage various financial services seamlessly. Users can transfer funds across multiple channels and to various recipients using preferred funding sources like card products, PayPal or Venmo balances, cryptocurrencies, and BNPL options. This effort is likely to drive the company's TPV volumes further thanks to digital payment adoption, international expansion, and improved checkout conversion rates.Also, PayPal's guidance for at least $5 billion of share buybacks exceeded FactSet's expectations (Goldman Sachs data, proprietary source), indicating additional support for the stock in the foreseeable future. Additionally, while non-transaction operating expenses are anticipated to grow slightly in FY2024 due to increased investment in new product initiatives, PayPal remains committed to delivering value to shareholders while pursuing strategic growth opportunities.PayPal is systematically reducing the number of its shares outstanding, and even a relatively high SBC of ~4.8% (Q4 FY2023, YCharts data) cannot stop this strong downward trend. At the same time, the forwarding FCF yield of 7.9% (based on my calculations and PYPL's guidance) seems attractive today if we assume growth acceleration beyond 2024.Data by YChartsIn my opinion, the market is wrong about PYPL's stock price today because it assumes no growth for 2024 and ignores the growth prospects for 2025-2027. We see this in the consensus forecasts (Seeking Alpha Premium data): PYPL's lack of EPS growth in FY2024 gives way to growth recovery as early as 2025, resulting in a longer-term EPS CAGR of +6.15% and an implied P/E ratio falling to 8.64x in FY2027:Seeking Alpha Premium, PYPL, author's notesThe forecasted standardized profit and loss report from analysts at Goldman Sachs illuminates a crucial prerequisite for the anticipated upswing in PYPL's financials rating post FY2024:Goldman Sachs [proprietary source], author's notesGoldman's FY2025 EPS forecast of $5.65 is in line with consensus. Let's assume PYPL's P/E approaches 13x by the end of FY2025 as the business transforms and growth accelerates. In the historical context, this seems to be a very conservative assumption considering where PYPL's multiples were 2-3 years ago.Data by YChartsWith this input data, I get a price objective of $73.45, which is 24.7% above today's price. This means that if an investor is willing to buy the PYPL stock now, assuming that the company's strategic efforts will be at least partially realized, then he/she can potentially achieve an above-market return in the medium term with a very conservative exit valuation multiple. I therefore maintain my 'Buy' rating, despite the sharp fall in the stock price that we saw after PayPal's quarterly figures.Risks To My ThesisInvesting in PayPal carries inherent risks, notably regulatory uncertainties and fierce competition in the fintech sector. Established players like ApplePay and Visa's Checkout pose formidable challenges to PayPal's market share and profit margins. Moreover, cybersecurity threats and economic fluctuations further compound these risks, potentially eroding consumer trust and transaction volumes.Additionally, PayPal faces execution risks in sustaining user growth amidst evolving market dynamics. The company must navigate transaction margin pressures while adapting to changing consumer preferences, especially in mobile payment services. Furthermore, macroeconomic factors and currency exchange rate fluctuations add complexity to its risk profile. Effectively managing these risks is essential for PayPal to maintain its market position and capitalize on growth opportunities.So make sure you do your own due diligence before you buy PYPL stock: Seeking Alpha Premium's many offerings, as well as research from other authors, may help you with this.The VerdictDespite the abundance of negativity following the publication of the Q4 FY2023 results, PayPal's prospects look interesting in the medium term as the strategic plan is implemented. In the long term, competition will be a strong headwind, but name me a fintech company that doesn't have serious competition today. PayPal's revenue origination looks very stable today, and the focus on quality growth going forward with the expansion of business margins next year (which I hope for) should provide even more opportunities for FCF generation in my opinion. And as we've seen in recent quarters, PayPal's approach to using its FCF for buybacks is already positioning the company as a solid value-like play in the industry. Based on all of the factors discussed, I'm reiterating my previous \"Buy\" rating today with a medium-term price objective of $73.45/share. Please let me know in the comments below if you agree with me here.Thanks for reading!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":468,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":216589492330624,"gmtCreate":1693911795822,"gmtModify":1693911800010,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Open only to Softbank clients if I am not wrong.

However, as always, it released its quarterly electric vehicle production and customer delivery numbers ahead of time.</p><p>Both figures were at record highs, suggesting that the company&#39;s recent price cuts are having a positive impact on demand.</p><p>Selling a higher volume of cars at a lower profit margin is a strategic move by CEO Elon Musk, not only to fend off growing competition in the electric vehicle industry, but also because it creates an even bigger long-term opportunity for the company. Here&#39;s why.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3e1eccd0d9264e1c4caf8f2deb2b939\" alt=\"Image source: Tesla.\" title=\"Image source: Tesla.\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/><span>Image source: Tesla.</span></p><h2>Tesla delivered a record number of cars in Q2</h2><p>Consumers have struggled under the pressure of high inflation and rising interest rates over the past year, and that&#39;s having a direct impact on the demand for big-ticket purchases like cars. As a result, Tesla has been trimming the price of its electric vehicles in 2023 to bring new buyers into the fold.</p><p>There&#39;s clear evidence it&#39;s working; the company delivered 422,875 cars to customers in the first quarter, which was a 36% year-over-year increase. And the freshly released Q2 figure was 466,140, marking a whopping 83% jump compared to the year-ago period -- a massive growth acceleration.</p><p>Of course, slashing prices to sell more vehicles comes at a cost. In Q1, Tesla&#39;s industry-leading gross profit margin fell to 19.3%, far below the year-ago figure of 29.1%. It was still much higher than the overall 15% gross margin of <strong>Ford</strong>, for example, but we won&#39;t know Tesla&#39;s most recent second-quarter result until July 19.</p><p>However, the margin Tesla earns by manufacturing and selling each vehicle might not matter in the long term. Why? Because the company is a leading developer of fully autonomous self-driving software, which could be released to the public later this year. Musk says the average passenger vehicle spends just 12 hours per week on the road, so by installing self-driving software, it could become a robotaxi and operate within an autonomous ride-hailing network.</p><p>The vehicle would earn revenue that would be split between its owner and Tesla, creating a brand-new industry that Cathie Wood&#39;s Ark Investment Management says could generate $4 trillion in revenue in the next five years. Musk says autonomous robotaxis could transform Tesla&#39;s economics, increasing its gross margin to over 70% in the long run because each car would potentially earn money for the company in perpetuity. As a result, Musk wants as many Tesla vehicles on the road as possible, even if it means sacrificing short-term profits from each sale.</p><h2>Why Tesla stock is a buy now</h2><p>Tesla stock is on a tear in 2023 with a 159% gain so far, but it&#39;s still down 31% from its all-time high following the dramatic sell-off in the technology sector last year.

However, as always, it released its quarterly electric vehicle production and customer delivery numbers ahead of time.Both figures were at record highs, suggesting that the company's recent price cuts are having a positive impact on demand.Selling a higher volume of cars at a lower profit margin is a strategic move by CEO Elon Musk, not only to fend off growing competition in the electric vehicle industry, but also because it creates an even bigger long-term opportunity for the company. Here's why.Image source: Tesla.Tesla delivered a record number of cars in Q2Consumers have struggled under the pressure of high inflation and rising interest rates over the past year, and that's having a direct impact on the demand for big-ticket purchases like cars. As a result, Tesla has been trimming the price of its electric vehicles in 2023 to bring new buyers into the fold.There's clear evidence it's working; the company delivered 422,875 cars to customers in the first quarter, which was a 36% year-over-year increase. And the freshly released Q2 figure was 466,140, marking a whopping 83% jump compared to the year-ago period -- a massive growth acceleration.Of course, slashing prices to sell more vehicles comes at a cost. In Q1, Tesla's industry-leading gross profit margin fell to 19.3%, far below the year-ago figure of 29.1%. It was still much higher than the overall 15% gross margin of Ford, for example, but we won't know Tesla's most recent second-quarter result until July 19.However, the margin Tesla earns by manufacturing and selling each vehicle might not matter in the long term. Why? Because the company is a leading developer of fully autonomous self-driving software, which could be released to the public later this year. Musk says the average passenger vehicle spends just 12 hours per week on the road, so by installing self-driving software, it could become a robotaxi and operate within an autonomous ride-hailing network.The vehicle would earn revenue that would be split between its owner and Tesla, creating a brand-new industry that Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management says could generate $4 trillion in revenue in the next five years. Musk says autonomous robotaxis could transform Tesla's economics, increasing its gross margin to over 70% in the long run because each car would potentially earn money for the company in perpetuity. As a result, Musk wants as many Tesla vehicles on the road as possible, even if it means sacrificing short-term profits from each sale.Why Tesla stock is a buy nowTesla stock is on a tear in 2023 with a 159% gain so far, but it's still down 31% from its all-time high following the dramatic sell-off in the technology sector last year. It appears relatively expensive based on traditional valuation metrics like the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio; the company has generated $3.85 in earnings per share over the last four quarters, which gives the stock a P/E of 72.8.That's more than twice as expensive as Tesla's peers in the technology sector, represented by the Nasdaq-100 index, which trades at an average P/E of 31.1. But the stock market is a forward-looking machine, and Tesla's future potential is the reason investors are willing to pay a premium. For example, Tesla has told investors it expects to produce 1.8 million cars in 2023, but it has already made more than 920,000 in the first half, which puts it on track to beat that figure.

Yet it appears to be just one to two hikes away from killing the labor market. Considering this dual mandate, then, the Fed should slam the pause button in June. We suspect Powell will hint as much tomorrow in the press conference. The Final Word on the Federal ReserveIt’s easy to play the “tough guy” and stay aggressive with rate hikes when everyone still has a job. It is near impossible to do so when people start losing their jobs. Well, people are starting to lose their jobs. Historically speaking, this is when the Fed pauses. And when the Fed pauses, stocks tend to rally.In short, stocks are on the cusp of a major make-or-break moment. And whether or not we sprint into a new bull market or remain stuck in a bear market could be determined tomorrow. We think the odds rest strongly in the bulls’ favor. Either way, it is time to buckle up. If we do get a dovish Fed and huge breakout rally, then we strongly believe this portfolio of stocks will absolutely soar – with potential returns of 50%-plus by summer’s end.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":429,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947373277,"gmtCreate":1682610157500,"gmtModify":1682610161613,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just install waymo on a tesla.

Also, Tesla is far from a value stock and could continue delivering 30-20% revenue growth for most of the decade. Therefore, Tesla&#39;s stock price is oversold and undervalued and is a strong buy intermediate and long term.</p><h2>China: The Key Component to Tesla&#39;s Success</h2><p>China is a critical market for Tesla. Fortunately, Tesla has the necessary ingredients to do great things in China. Firstly, China remains the crucial and most lucrative electric vehicle (&#34;EV&#34;) market globally. China&#39;s population is more than four times that of the U.S., with more than 500 million drivers. Moreover, China is exceptionally EV-friendly and has the most dynamic EV market globally. China sold 5.67 million EVs and plug-ins in 2022. More than four million vehicles were 100% EVs, more than five times the number of all-electric vehicles sold in the U.S. last year.</p><p><b>China EV Sales - Up Almost 200% Over 18 Months</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a05966b50379cec911eaf85401fa4a1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"440\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>EV Sales (FT.com)</span></p><p>During this challenging slowdown, most of the global EV growth has come from China. While Europe and North American sales have increased modestly, China&#39;s EV sales have skyrocketed, nearly tripling in the last 18 months. Also, global EV sales should rebound in crucial markets that have lagged recently. Therefore, Tesla and other EV sales will likely boom in critical markets like China, North America, Europe, and others as the company advances in the coming years.</p><h2>Tesla&#39;s Price-Cut Advantage</h2><p>Tesla is well-positioned to capitalize on China&#39;s booming EV transition. The company&#39;s registrations surged last month. Tesla delivered more than 710,000 vehicles from its Shanghai factory in 2022. Tesla&#39;s sales surged after the company dropped prices in China, illustrating another advantage due to Tesla&#39;s economies of scale and remarkably high profitability. Tesla can lower prices in other areas globally to spur sales and improve demand while the slowdown persists. The company can scale prices back up as the next recovery materializes.</p><p>Tesla remains the leader in innovation and technology in the EV segment and is akin to the iPhone of electric cars. Therefore, Tesla vehicles should continue garnering substantial demand in China and globally. China EV sales surged by 71% in November, with Tesla delivering a record 100,291 Chinese-made cars. Tesla&#39;s Model 3 and Y vehicles remain wildly popular in China and many parts of the world. Tesla should continue growing revenues substantially as its China, Asia, Europe, and other business segments continue expanding in future years.</p><p><b>Tesla&#39;s Outstanding Deliveries Data</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/520bd1d43d0eca0ae2f272382423e07f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Deliveries (Statista.com)</span></p><p>Tesla closed out 2022 with more than 1.3 million vehicle deliveries. The surge represents a unit sales increase of 40% over last year. In Q4, Tesla reported deliveries of roughly 405K cars and production of about 440K vehicles. The lag in deliveries (relative to production) could be due to year-end orders that should transfer over to Q1 deliveries. Regardless, Tesla continues showing remarkable production capacity and significant growth momentum that should continue for years.</p><h2>Q4 - Strong Deliveries Translate to Significant Revenue</h2><p>Tesla delivered 17,147 Models S/X vehicles, 9% of which were subject to leasing. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 15,604 Model S/X vehicles last quarter. Using an ASP of $120,000 for Tesla&#39;s premium models, the company likely made <i>$1.9 billion</i> in revenues from Model S/X sales in Q4.</p><p>Tesla&#39;s Model 3/Y segment delivered 388,131 vehicles last quarter, 4% of which were subject to lease accounting. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 372,606 Model 3/Y vehicles in the fourth quarter. Even with the recent price cuts, I suspect the ASP came in around $50,000. Thus, Tesla&#39;s Model 3/Y segment may have delivered around <i>$18.7 billion</i> in Q4.</p><p>Tesla&#39;s leasing, energy generation and storage, and services segments may have provided around <i>$3.8 billion</i> in revenues in the fourth quarter. Therefore, Tesla&#39;s revenues should be around <i>$24.5 billion</i> for the fourth quarter, roughly a 38% YoY revenue increase.</p><p><b>Revenue Estimates</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0df73bdd213e08fde9e99d50f286555c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"218\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Revenue Estimates (seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>2022&#39;s revenues should come in at about <i>$82 billion</i> (52% YoY growth), and we should continue seeing significant revenue growth in the coming years. We could see 20-30% YoY revenue growth for most of this decade. Provided the consensus estimates, Tesla is trading at less than three times next year&#39;s (2024) projected sales. Additionally, Tesla is becoming increasingly cheap on a P/E basis.</p><h2>Is Tesla a Value Company Now?</h2><p><b>EPS Estimates</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7158db60b7f0e99d393120ce4c94c215\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"218\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>EPS Estimates (seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>While Tesla&#39;s 2022 EPS should come in at approximately $4, the company should earn more than $6 in 2024. Therefore, Tesla is trading at just 20 times the forward consensus EPS estimate. Additionally, EPS estimates have been lowered due to the transitory economic slowdown. There is a strong probability that Tesla could outperform in 2024, delivering $8-10 in EPS instead of the projected $6.10 consensus estimate figure. If Tesla achieves my $8-10 EPS estimate in 2024, the company will be trading at just 12-15 times forward earnings now. This valuation is remarkably cheap for a dominant market-leading growth company in Tesla&#39;s position. Therefore, as the slowdown moderates and market sentiment improves, Tesla&#39;s stock price should travel significantly higher.</p><p><b>What Wall St. Thinks</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c74dfd93b94caf5f438fe1e404546898\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"214\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Price Targets (seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>While the lowest price target remains incredibly depressed below $100, the average analyst on Wall St. expects the company&#39;s stock to appreciate by about 56% by the end of the year. Some very bullish estimates project a stock price of around <i>$350</i>. However, I am more modest and believe Tesla&#39;s stock could reach approximately $250 by year-end, doubling from current levels. Moreover, Tesla&#39;s stock price could increase several-fold over the next few years.</p><p>Here&#39;s Where Tesla&#39;s Stock Could Be By 2030</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Year</b></td><td><b>2023</b></td><td><b>2024</b></td><td><b>2025</b></td><td><b>2026</b></td><td><b>2027</b></td><td><b>2028</b></td><td><b>2029</b></td><td><b>2030</b></td></tr><tr><td><b>Revenue Bs</b></td><td>$124</td><td>$178</td><td>$235</td><td>$315</td><td>$400</td><td>$510</td><td>$640</td><td>$770</td></tr><tr><td><b>Revenue growth</b></td><td>51%</td><td>44%</td><td>32%</td><td>34%</td><td>27%</td><td>27%</td><td>25%</td><td>20%</td></tr><tr><td><b>EPS</b></td><td>$7</td><td>$10</td><td>$14</td><td>$19</td><td>$25</td><td>$32</td><td>$38</td><td>$45</td></tr><tr><td><b>EPS growth</b></td><td>70%</td><td>43%</td><td>40%</td><td>38%</td><td>32%</td><td>28%</td><td>19%</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Forward P/E</b></td><td>12</td><td>15</td><td>18</td><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>21</td><td>20</td><td>19</td></tr><tr><td><b>Stock price</b></td><td>$120</td><td>$210</td><td>$342</td><td>$525</td><td>$704</td><td>$798</td><td>$900</td><td>$1,007</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Financial Prophet</p><h2>Risks to Tesla</h2><p><b>There are risks</b> - The company may miss earnings and revenue estimates. Furthermore, a slowdown in demand, increased competition, supply issues, decreased growth, issues with regulators and foreign governments, and other variables are all risks we should consider before betting on Tesla to move higher. Serious concerns could cause Tesla&#39;s valuation to lose altitude, and the company&#39;s share price could even head in reverse if any serious issues should arise. Therefore, one should consider these and other risks before committing any capital to a Tesla investment.</p><p><i>This article is written by Victor Dergunov for reference only.

Regardless, Tesla continues showing remarkable production capacity and significant growth momentum that should continue for years.Q4 - Strong Deliveries Translate to Significant RevenueTesla delivered 17,147 Models S/X vehicles, 9% of which were subject to leasing. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 15,604 Model S/X vehicles last quarter. Using an ASP of $120,000 for Tesla's premium models, the company likely made $1.9 billion in revenues from Model S/X sales in Q4.Tesla's Model 3/Y segment delivered 388,131 vehicles last quarter, 4% of which were subject to lease accounting. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 372,606 Model 3/Y vehicles in the fourth quarter. Even with the recent price cuts, I suspect the ASP came in around $50,000. Thus, Tesla's Model 3/Y segment may have delivered around $18.7 billion in Q4.Tesla's leasing, energy generation and storage, and services segments may have provided around $3.8 billion in revenues in the fourth quarter. Therefore, Tesla's revenues should be around $24.5 billion for the fourth quarter, roughly a 38% YoY revenue increase.Revenue EstimatesRevenue Estimates (seekingalpha.com)2022's revenues should come in at about $82 billion (52% YoY growth), and we should continue seeing significant revenue growth in the coming years. We could see 20-30% YoY revenue growth for most of this decade. Provided the consensus estimates, Tesla is trading at less than three times next year's (2024) projected sales. Additionally, Tesla is becoming increasingly cheap on a P/E basis.Is Tesla a Value Company Now?EPS EstimatesEPS Estimates (seekingalpha.com)While Tesla's 2022 EPS should come in at approximately $4, the company should earn more than $6 in 2024. Therefore, Tesla is trading at just 20 times the forward consensus EPS estimate. Additionally, EPS estimates have been lowered due to the transitory economic slowdown. There is a strong probability that Tesla could outperform in 2024, delivering $8-10 in EPS instead of the projected $6.10 consensus estimate figure. If Tesla achieves my $8-10 EPS estimate in 2024, the company will be trading at just 12-15 times forward earnings now. This valuation is remarkably cheap for a dominant market-leading growth company in Tesla's position. Therefore, as the slowdown moderates and market sentiment improves, Tesla's stock price should travel significantly higher.What Wall St. ThinksPrice Targets (seekingalpha.com)While the lowest price target remains incredibly depressed below $100, the average analyst on Wall St. expects the company's stock to appreciate by about 56% by the end of the year. Some very bullish estimates project a stock price of around $350. However, I am more modest and believe Tesla's stock could reach approximately $250 by year-end, doubling from current levels. Moreover, Tesla's stock price could increase several-fold over the next few years.Here's Where Tesla's Stock Could Be By 2030Year20232024202520262027202820292030Revenue Bs$124$178$235$315$400$510$640$770Revenue growth51%44%32%34%27%27%25%20%EPS$7$10$14$19$25$32$38$45EPS growth70%43%40%38%32%28%19%18%Forward P/E1215182122212019Stock price$120$210$342$525$704$798$900$1,007Source: The Financial ProphetRisks to TeslaThere are risks - The company may miss earnings and revenue estimates. Furthermore, a slowdown in demand, increased competition, supply issues, decreased growth, issues with regulators and foreign governments, and other variables are all risks we should consider before betting on Tesla to move higher. Serious concerns could cause Tesla's valuation to lose altitude, and the company's share price could even head in reverse if any serious issues should arise. Therefore, one should consider these and other risks before committing any capital to a Tesla investment.This article is written by Victor Dergunov for reference only.

Electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) had certainly raised prices around the globe on multiple models thanks tostrong demand as well as inflationary pressures leading to higher costs. Late last year however, the company started to reduce pricing in China and offer incentives in other countries to help with sales, but these efforts weren&#39;t enough to meet Q4 delivery expectations. This year will be a very different one for the automaker, however, as more price cuts will likely be needed to drive delivery volume growth in a meaningful way. Today, I&#39;d like to examine how this could impact overall results.</p><p>To think about where things are going, we first have to look at where they have been. In the chart below, I&#39;ve shown what Tesla&#39;s automotive revenues per unit has been since the start of 2019, which is when the Model 3 ramp really went into full blast. This number is simply total automotive revenue, including leasing revenue and credit sales revenues, divided by the number of vehicles delivered in the quarter. Other people may calculate average selling prices differently, but this is how I want to show things for simplicity.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16835a805988e2a320c6d129be17e614\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"399\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Automotive Revenue Per Delivered Vehicle (Company Filings)</span></p><p>In Q3 2022, Tesla reported $54,364 in automotive revenues per vehicle delivered. That number is expected to come down a couple of percent in Q4 due to three reasons. First, there were price cuts in China during the quarter, along with numerous end of quarter incentives around the globe to help with sales. Second, the mix of Model 3 and Y vehicles delivered was higher, which lowers the average per vehicle. Finally, the leasing percentage ticked up a little, also hurting the average. On the flip side, Tesla could recognize a bit of previously deferred full self-driving revenues, perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, but that would create an apples to oranges comparison here.</p><p>For 2023, my current estimate is that Tesla will deliver about 1.94 million vehicles, which is just a little under its long term growth target of 50% growth per year. For this argument, let&#39;s assume that the average revenue per delivery comes down to $48,000, which reflects the latest price cuts in China as well as more potential price cuts to drive demand in other countries. This results in a little more than $23 billion in automotive revenue per quarter, and for this exercise, I&#39;m just assuming each quarter has the same amount of deliveries. As we&#39;ve seen in the past, the ending numbers will likely be lower in the first quarter and then ramp throughout the year.</p><p>With Tesla increasing volumes by about 50% this year, one would likely expect that it can reduce its costs per unit as well. Some key materials, especially on the battery side, have shown some deflation recently, which should help the company&#39;s cost structure. For this argument, let&#39;s assume Tesla reduces its cost per delivered vehicle by $2,000 over Q3 2022 levels, where GAAP automotive gross margins came in at 27.88%. The chart below shows how overall GAAP automotive gross margins have fared over the same timeline used above. These margins include credit sales, because that&#39;s what appears on the income statement, but many analysts and investors also focus on non-GAAP margins too that exclude credits.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b27315de6bb9822a78c330cedda1775\" tg-width=\"585\" tg-height=\"383\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla GAAP Automotive Gross Margin (Company Filings)</span></p><p>In the projection I detailed above, Tesla&#39;s gross margin drops to 22.49% for this year, a nearly 540 basis point drop over Q3 2022 levels. Some might consider this to be a disaster for the company. Well, it turns out that in this example, Tesla&#39;s gross margin dollar figure actually increases by $24 million to $5.236 billion. That&#39;s the power of the extra volume here. Should revenues per unit come in higher or the cost per unit come in lower, there would obviously be even more upside for gross margin dollars. For now, I&#39;m not assuming that Cybertruck launch costs will be too material to the overall year&#39;s results, but that&#39;s an item that we can examine further as the year progresses.</p><p>Of course, the automotive gross margin picture is just one part of Tesla. In Q3 2022, for example, the energy and services segment also combined for $170 million in gross profits. A number of Tesla bulls are expecting storage sales to surge this year, which could deliver a lot more gross profit here. Over the course of the full year, that could mean at least a billion dollars. Thus, it will just be a matter of how total operating expenses fare, if they rise a bit along with the surge in total revenue. Tesla is also expected to generate more interest income and have less interest expense this year. Thus, the Street currently expects more than 25% growth in non-GAAP earnings per share this year to $5.11, although that number was approaching $6 about three months ago before price cuts began and economic worries started to really increase.</p><p>So what&#39;s the key here? Well, that gross margin figure will be very closely watched. If I reduce the hit this year to just 4 percentage points instead of the 5.4 shown above, gross margin dollars increase by $325 million per quarter. Holding all else equal, and assuming a 15% tax rate along with another small increase in the share count, you get 30 cents of earnings per share upside. If you want to see automotive gross margin dollars hold at their Q3 2022 level, watch the $48,000 per vehicle delivered price average, along with roughly 22.5% in GAAP automotive gross margins. If Tesla has to cut prices further or margins trend closer to 20%, then you are likely to see earnings per share come in below $5 this year, which will disappoint many of the bulls.</p><p>As for Tesla shares, they remain stuck towards the lower end of their yearly range, trading below $120 on Tuesday. Elon Musk&#39;s purchase of Twitter and the resulting share sales and drama there has hurt Tesla sentiment. Investors have also worried about how price cuts could impact revenues and margins in this very competitive space, as that could mean less than expected earnings per share growth. The Street remains very positive on the stock, with the average price target of nearly $217 reflecting tremendous upside, but that key valuation figure was at $305 just three months ago. I expect that we&#39;ll see a lot of price target changes coming after the Q4 earnings report in two weeks as analysts get a lot more color on how 2023 could look.</p><p>In the end, 2023 will look a lot different for Tesla than the last couple of years. Instead of rising prices and generally higher gross margins, the company is now reducing prices in many areas to drive volume growth towards its longer term targets. That could result in a meaningfully lower GAAP gross margin percentage for Tesla if it cannot drive costs lower enough, but that doesn&#39;t necessarily mean gross margin dollars will also fall. As long as the margin percentage doesn&#39;t crash, Tesla has a chance to grow its margin dollars and thus earnings per share this year, although analysts have reduced their expectations a bit in recent months. That earnings per share growth will likely be needed to get shares back above the $200 level that analysts see the stock worth.</p><p><i>This article is written by Bill Maurer for reference only.

The Street remains very positive on the stock, with the average price target of nearly $217 reflecting tremendous upside, but that key valuation figure was at $305 just three months ago. I expect that we'll see a lot of price target changes coming after the Q4 earnings report in two weeks as analysts get a lot more color on how 2023 could look.In the end, 2023 will look a lot different for Tesla than the last couple of years. Instead of rising prices and generally higher gross margins, the company is now reducing prices in many areas to drive volume growth towards its longer term targets. That could result in a meaningfully lower GAAP gross margin percentage for Tesla if it cannot drive costs lower enough, but that doesn't necessarily mean gross margin dollars will also fall. As long as the margin percentage doesn't crash, Tesla has a chance to grow its margin dollars and thus earnings per share this year, although analysts have reduced their expectations a bit in recent months. That earnings per share growth will likely be needed to get shares back above the $200 level that analysts see the stock worth.This article is written by Bill Maurer for reference only.

The company was catapulted into stardom during the stimulus-fueled bull market of 2020, which sent the company fromnear bankruptcy to an S&amp;P 500, trillion-dollar titan. This tremendous bull run meant Tesla&#39;s stock price increased by over 1,300% and made many investors &#34;Teslanaires&#34;. However, since the macroeconomic environment changed in November 2021, as thehighinflation numbers were released, Tesla has become a rollercoaster for investors. The stock price has now been butchered by 73% from its all-time highs, with a 44% decline in December alone. This looks to have been driven by a series of macroeconomic factors. In addition, to a serious amount of stock selling by founder Elon Musk (which I will discuss more on in the Risks) section. There have also been somereportsof a production cut in January 2023, expected at Tesla&#39;s Shanghai factory. Although the company hasn&#39;t confirmed this yet. With all this bad news you may wonder why I am bullish on the stock? There are a few reasons for this, of course, we know about the company&#39;s leadership position and technology innovation. In addition, Tesla customers are nowpoisedto benefit from a $7,500 EV tax incentive which was offered thanks to the &#34;anti-inflation act&#34; and should boost EV demand. Its stock is also deeply undervalued intrinsically. In this post, I&#39;m going to review its financials, outline production updates, and revisit its valuation. Let&#39;s dive in.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a79a1ea5bc04bd0f7d6b837085e569e\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data byYCharts</p><h3>Strong Financials</h3><p>Tesla generated strong financialresultsfor the third quarter of 2022.

I did notice Tesla has relatively few low-cost (below $50,000 models) available on its website, within 200 miles of Rodeo Drive LA. I suspect the tax credit has helped to boost sales of low-value models already, which is a positive. I did notice Tesla is offering 10,000 miles of free supercharging which looks to be an incentive to boost demand further.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57567a6966f9a88dec06edea0df2921f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"431\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Tesla vehicle stock (Tesla website, author search)</p><p>As of the third quarter of 2022, Tesla ramped up its production by 54% YoY to 365,923 vehicles.

I do predict some short-term volatility over the next 12 months due to the recessionary environment, but Tesla's technology advantages should keep them ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":685,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9925335842,"gmtCreate":1671929866787,"gmtModify":1676538611575,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Merry Christmas everyone","listText":"Merry Christmas everyone","text":"Merry Christmas everyone","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":14,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9925335842","repostId":"1192326933","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192326933","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":1672011741,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192326933?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-26 07:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Reminder: U.S. Market Will be Closed for Christmas Day on Monday, 26 December 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192326933","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. ChristmasDay hasarrived.

While this is unfortunate, management has executed brilliantly so far to turn the company into an increasingly self-sufficient business in the near term.</p><p>In this article, I attempt to dive deeper into itsQ3 2022 resultand provide an overall analysis of the earnings. Although I’d like to highlight that the management has explicitly stated that growth can reaccelerate after attaining profitability and that they have a sufficient cash reserve to pay off the convertible notes sitting on the balance sheet.</p><h3>Garena<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab8fe0ed7909a98b7fdf0b930bc362df\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h3><p>SE 10-Q</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8386bb1c95c3d5300e1fe0f371528199\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>Garena’s QAU and QPU continued to decline sequentially, as the management’s anticipation of its user base stabilizing did not materialize. The macro headwinds continue to be a headache, and it seems that there is more uncertainty lying ahead for Garena Free Fire. The key forward is to focus on launching new games, with games such asPrimitive EraandBlack Clover Mobilelaunching recently. While this indicates that management is working hard to reaccelerate Garena’s growth, it is important to recognize that the success of games is not guaranteed, and this is the bigger uncertainty for the business.

Moreover, Shopee is expected to attain profitability by FY23 instead of FY25 as previously guided by the management. This goes to show that the management has made great strides in pursuing profitability, which is impressive in my view. Once it attained self-sufficiency, growth can reaccelerate, although, the management is expecting flat or negative growth in certain metrics in the near term.</p><h3>SeaBank</h3><p><i>Note that I will be using “SeaBank” and “SeaMoney” interchangeably.</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0f0cb77d6ac22f50a1208eaf075db51c\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>SeaMoney’s loan receivables grew 46% from 4Q21 and 110% from 3Q21 to $2.2 billion.

In myprevious article, I showed that in Sep 2022, SeaBank Indonesia grew its loans and customer deposits by 111% Y/Y and 147% Y/Y, respectively, and the launch of ShopeePay in Brazil.

Furthermore, the overall credit business is profitable and is generating positive cash flow, and has been increasingly making up a larger proportion of its total revenue.

New games were launched in recent months.Shopee’s race to profitability has accelerated as shown in the material improvements in unit economics, and they are expected to be profitable by FY23.SeaBank's credit business is growing strongly and its overall credit business is profitable and cash flow positive. Its revenue now makes up 10.4% of its overall revenue.Execution has been on point in attaining profitability although that resulted in declining growth in FY22. Management believes growth can reaccelerate once it achieves profitability.Sea Limited has sufficient cash reserves to pay off the convertible notes.Investment ThesisSea Limited has come under much scrutiny in the past 2 years as the shift in focus from growth to profitability and macro headwinds have led to a massive growth decline across itsShopee and Garena units. While this is unfortunate, management has executed brilliantly so far to turn the company into an increasingly self-sufficient business in the near term.In this article, I attempt to dive deeper into itsQ3 2022 resultand provide an overall analysis of the earnings. Although I’d like to highlight that the management has explicitly stated that growth can reaccelerate after attaining profitability and that they have a sufficient cash reserve to pay off the convertible notes sitting on the balance sheet.GarenaSE 10-QSE 10-QGarena’s QAU and QPU continued to decline sequentially, as the management’s anticipation of its user base stabilizing did not materialize. The macro headwinds continue to be a headache, and it seems that there is more uncertainty lying ahead for Garena Free Fire. The key forward is to focus on launching new games, with games such asPrimitive EraandBlack Clover Mobilelaunching recently. While this indicates that management is working hard to reaccelerate Garena’s growth, it is important to recognize that the success of games is not guaranteed, and this is the bigger uncertainty for the business. As a result, this caused its adjusted EBITDA margin to further decline to 32.5% during the quarter.Additionally, management states that the expiry of the agreement with Riot Games will have no impact on Garena’s publishing business, and Garena is seeking other top-game developers for their publishing business.ShopeeSE 10-QSE 10-QShopee’s GMV grew 14% Y/Y and the number of orders grew 18% Y/Y, a continuous decline in the past couple of quarters. This is a result of management pulling back on its sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses, exiting multiple markets, cutting costs aggressively (such as hiring), and lastly, the lower consumer discretionary spending. This is in contrast to Lazada (NYSE: BABA), as the number oforders declined Y/Yand they are also prioritizing profitability through increased monetization.While this does show that consumers continue to spend on Shopee in SEA, its GMV and number of orders are partially contributed by Shopee Brazil. In a tough macro environment, Shopee experienced a 36% Y/Y growth in the number of brands on the platform, indicating that Shopee is an increasingly important partner in growing its online revenue.SE 10-QThe more important portion is Shopee’s improvement in profitability. Its overall adjusted EBITDA loss per order continues to improve by 23.5% sequentially, and more specifically, Shopee Brazil’s loss per order improved by 27.5% sequentially during the quarter as compared to 6.6% in the last quarter.

That's more than the combined value of Netflix Inc. and PayPal Holdings Inc., or the value of five Twitter Inc. deals at Elon Musk's buyout price of $44 billion.What Happened: Amazon reported third-quarter revenues of $127.1 billion, up 15% from the same period last year. The sum fell short of a Street expectation of $127.84 billion.In the third quarter, the Jeff Bezos-founded company posted:Earnings per share of 28 cents, exceeding the Street's prediction of 22 cents.North American sector revenue increased by 20% from the previous year to $78.8 billion.$27.7 billion, or 5% less than the prior year's third quarter, was the foreign segment's revenue.If foreign currency rates were not taken into account, the international section would have increased by 12%.Revenue for Amazon's AWS division reached $20.5 billion, up 27% over the previous year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":124,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9986574350,"gmtCreate":1667000462970,"gmtModify":1676537845971,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Why not target&nbsp;","listText":"Why not target&nbsp;","text":"Why not target","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9986574350","repostId":"2278010460","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2278010460","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1666970718,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2278010460?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-28 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: Walmart or Costco?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2278010460","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Both sales models align well with the current spending environment.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Recession-proof stocks can be a safe haven for investors during times of economic turmoil.

The company reported &#34;record&#34; production and delivery numbers, but still missed analyst forecasts for earnings and revenue, so what happened? Elon Musk announced plans to continue to reduce prices, in an effort to focus on a lower-margin mass-market product. This wasn&#39;t taken well by Wall Street with firms such as Truist Securities, downgrading Tesla from a &#34;Buy&#34; to a &#34;Hold&#34; due to this concern. However, I believe this isn&#39;t a new strategy for Tesla (and I will show examples later in this post). In addition, Tesla has racked up more autonomous driving miles than any other automaker (according to my estimates) and thus has a competitive advantage in this regard. In this post, I&#39;m going to discuss why Tesla&#39;s lower margin strategy could prove to be very lucrative long term thanks to its autonomous driving technology, before revealing my valuation model and forecasts for the stock, let&#39;s dive in.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/500e1d52cdbf0b1e3a37d1bcbed4d3f3\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><h2>The &#34;New Strategy&#34; is Not New</h2><p>The first part of my thesis makes the case that Tesla&#39;s &#34;new strategy&#34; of focusing on &#34;higher volumes and a large fleet&#34;, as opposed to &#34;lower volume and higher margin&#34;, is not entirely new. Avid Tesla followers may recall that Elon Musk&#39;s long-term vision has always been to create an affordable mass-market EV. In fact, I have discovered at least four quotes from Musk in the past where he stated just that;</p><ol><li><p>&#34;I think the most important thing is to make cars that people can <strong>afford</strong>&#34; - <em>Elon Musk (May 2013, Bloomberg).</em></p></li><li><p>&#34;We must at least aspire to produce cars that are more <strong>affordable</strong> than the Model 3 in order to achieve our mission.&#34; - <em>Elon Musk (Tesla&#39;s Q1 2017 earnings call).</em></p></li><li><p>&#34;Our long-term goal is to be able to create a <strong>$25,000 </strong>electric vehicle that is also fully autonomous.&#34; - <em>Elon Musk (Tesla Battery Day event, 2020).</em></p></li><li><p>Our aspiration is still to try to make the cars as affordable as possible, and to ultimately make<strong> Tesla as affordable as possible</strong>.&#34; - <em>Elon Musk (Tesla Q3 2020 earnings call).</em></p></li></ol><p>Therefore in 2023, when Elon Musk renewed his focus on cost-effective or &#34;affordable&#34; Tesla&#39;s it wasn&#39;t a surprise to me. In fact, this could also be perfect timing, as many analysts have forecast a &#34;recession&#34; and thus it would make sense to offer consumers the greatest value possible. In addition, as Tesla looks to have the largest manufacturing footprint of any pure EV maker (5 Gigafactories globally), then it could be assumed that Tesla could in fact offer a cheaper alternative, than its competitors due to economies of scale.</p><p>This strategy is also aligned with the key success strategy which helped Amazon dominate the e-commerce world. This was dubbed as &#34;Scale economics shared&#34;, in that it &#34;gives back&#34; savings made to its consumers by continually lowering prices. Of course, Tesla hasn&#39;t completely given up on profits (that would be crazy). The company aims to &#34;harvest significant profits&#34; in the future through the sales of its fully autonomous self-driving software.</p><h2>How far is Tesla from full self-driving?</h2><p>Critics will say Elon Musk has been promising full self-driving for many years, and I can&#39;t argue with that point. Back in 2015, Elon Musk promised full autonomy &#34;within two years&#34;, at an MIT Symposium. Then in 2019 at an Autonomy Day Event, Musk promised &#34;full autonomy with regulatory approval in 2020&#34;. However, I personally believe we are now very close. Over &#34;150 million miles&#34; have been driven in Full Self Driving beta mode and that number is &#34;growing exponentially&#34;, according to Musk in the Q1, 2023 earnings call. This number of miles is key, as anyone who understands AI models will tell you, the more training data, the greater accuracy can be achieved. If we compare this figure to the &#34;just&#34; 1 million self-driving miles reported by Google&#39;s Waymo and Cruise, as of early 2023, Tesla looks to be very far ahead. Even if we compare this to &#34;safety driver&#34; miles, reports indicate Waymo racked up &#34;just&#34; 20 million miles in total, in 2020, which means Tesla likely has 7.5 times the number of miles. This also isn&#39;t taking into account the 150 million miles Tesla has reported is just for its latest &#34;beta&#34; software, I believe.</p><p>Elon Musk also recently stated that to his &#34;best knowledge&#34; the &#34;current hardware&#34; can achieve full autonomy. Therefore, in theory, Tesla could do an over-the-air software update and turn almost every Tesla on the road (over 1 million vehicles) into a full self-driving vehicle. Of course, this would be done for a fee charged to those who choose to pay and this is where Tesla aims to capture back its margins.</p><p>The value of an autonomous vehicle should also be not understated, this isn&#39;t just about being able to take long road trips without the achy arms, the potential is huge. For example, a fully self-driving vehicle could effectively replace the passenger railroad industry (a $250 billion market globally) by offering more personal point-to-point service. In addition, a new &#34;third space&#34; will likely be created in which one could use a Tesla as a home office, entertainment center, etc.</p><p>A fully autonomous vehicle can also be used to generate funds, for the individual when they are not using it. For example, you could be in the office and your Tesla could be doing ride-hailing around a city or doing food deliveries. Therefore the platform could disrupt Uber (UBER) which is valued at $62 billion, at the time of writing.</p><p>At Tesla&#39;s AI day in 2020, the company revealed details of Dojo which it claimed to be the &#34;fastest&#34; AI training supercomputer in the world, which was so powerful it actually tripped the power grid in Palo Alto, California.</p><p>The Dojo platform has huge potential and could be utilized as a high-margin &#34;sellable service&#34; similar to AWS cloud. AWS is the profit engine of Amazon (AMZN), driving 188% of its operating income, despite generating just ~14.35% of its total revenue, as of Q4,22.

I personally believe Tesla vehicles are still seen as aspirational with some &#34;prestige&#34;. Therefore if Tesla drops its prices too much it could devalue the brand and its pricing power long term. For example, the luxury automaker Ferrari broke its sales record again in 2022 and saw its calls sell out, despite its Portofino M being priced at $250,000 and its Purosangue SUV costing nearly $400,000 each. Now of course, I don&#39;t put Tesla in the same category as a Ferrari but I consider them to be more closely aligned with Mercedes or Audi. Thus its brand positioning is just something for Tesla to be aware of as it continues to drop prices. There is also the &#34;risk&#34; of a race to the bottom in the EV industry. In fact, if history is to go by back in 1913, Henry Ford introduced the assembly line which the time to build and price of its Model T by 50-70% which resulted in hundreds of competitor car companies going bust and industry consolidation. This may seem bad at first glance but given Tesla and rival BYD&#39;s immense scale, I believe these two will be left standing as the dust settles.</p><h2>Final Thoughts</h2><p>Tesla renewed focus on lower-margin, mass-market vehicles is a strategy that will likely result in short-term pain, but long-term gain. I believe this strategy is actually optimal given the forecasted recession, tepid consumer demand, and increasing competition. In addition, Tesla can continue to &#34;future sell&#34; the value of its full self-driving software and pending vehicles such as the Tesla Cybertruck (over 1.5 million pre-orders as of November 2022). If/when Tesla achieves full self-driving, this could offer huge optionality for the stock and actually change the world as we know it. But the good news is even from an investment standpoint, a base case scenario still indicates Tesla is undervalued intrinsically. Therefore I will deem the stock to be a &#34;buy&#34; for the long term.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title> Tesla: Q1 Margin Squeeze, But Self-Driving Adds Huge Upside Potential</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\">\n Tesla: Q1 Margin Squeeze, But Self-Driving Adds Huge Upside Potential\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-27 22:54 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4597206-tesla-q1-margin-squeeze-self-driving-upside-potential><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryTesla has resurrected its \"low margin\", \"affordable\" EV strategy which I believe should help to boost market share, as well as undercut the competition thanks to its economies of scale.The ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4597206-tesla-q1-margin-squeeze-self-driving-upside-potential\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4597206-tesla-q1-margin-squeeze-self-driving-upside-potential","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1102618472","content_text":"SummaryTesla has resurrected its \"low margin\", \"affordable\" EV strategy which I believe should help to boost market share, as well as undercut the competition thanks to its economies of scale.The company missed both its revenue and earnings forecast, despite reporting record deliveries and production numbers.My intrinsic valuation model and forecasts indicate Tesla is undervalued in a base case scenario and even more undervalued in a \"best case\", full autonomy, Robots (Optimus) etc.Tesla Shanghai GigafactoryTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has recently announced intriguing results for the first quarter of 2023. The company reported \"record\" production and delivery numbers, but still missed analyst forecasts for earnings and revenue, so what happened? Elon Musk announced plans to continue to reduce prices, in an effort to focus on a lower-margin mass-market product. This wasn't taken well by Wall Street with firms such as Truist Securities, downgrading Tesla from a \"Buy\" to a \"Hold\" due to this concern. However, I believe this isn't a new strategy for Tesla (and I will show examples later in this post). In addition, Tesla has racked up more autonomous driving miles than any other automaker (according to my estimates) and thus has a competitive advantage in this regard. In this post, I'm going to discuss why Tesla's lower margin strategy could prove to be very lucrative long term thanks to its autonomous driving technology, before revealing my valuation model and forecasts for the stock, let's dive in.Data by YChartsThe \"New Strategy\" is Not NewThe first part of my thesis makes the case that Tesla's \"new strategy\" of focusing on \"higher volumes and a large fleet\", as opposed to \"lower volume and higher margin\", is not entirely new. Avid Tesla followers may recall that Elon Musk's long-term vision has always been to create an affordable mass-market EV. In fact, I have discovered at least four quotes from Musk in the past where he stated just that;\"I think the most important thing is to make cars that people can afford\" - Elon Musk (May 2013, Bloomberg).\"We must at least aspire to produce cars that are more affordable than the Model 3 in order to achieve our mission.\" - Elon Musk (Tesla's Q1 2017 earnings call).\"Our long-term goal is to be able to create a $25,000 electric vehicle that is also fully autonomous.\" - Elon Musk (Tesla Battery Day event, 2020).Our aspiration is still to try to make the cars as affordable as possible, and to ultimately make Tesla as affordable as possible.\" - Elon Musk (Tesla Q3 2020 earnings call).Therefore in 2023, when Elon Musk renewed his focus on cost-effective or \"affordable\" Tesla's it wasn't a surprise to me. In fact, this could also be perfect timing, as many analysts have forecast a \"recession\" and thus it would make sense to offer consumers the greatest value possible. In addition, as Tesla looks to have the largest manufacturing footprint of any pure EV maker (5 Gigafactories globally), then it could be assumed that Tesla could in fact offer a cheaper alternative, than its competitors due to economies of scale.This strategy is also aligned with the key success strategy which helped Amazon dominate the e-commerce world. This was dubbed as \"Scale economics shared\", in that it \"gives back\" savings made to its consumers by continually lowering prices. Of course, Tesla hasn't completely given up on profits (that would be crazy). The company aims to \"harvest significant profits\" in the future through the sales of its fully autonomous self-driving software.How far is Tesla from full self-driving?Critics will say Elon Musk has been promising full self-driving for many years, and I can't argue with that point. Back in 2015, Elon Musk promised full autonomy \"within two years\", at an MIT Symposium. Then in 2019 at an Autonomy Day Event, Musk promised \"full autonomy with regulatory approval in 2020\". However, I personally believe we are now very close. Over \"150 million miles\" have been driven in Full Self Driving beta mode and that number is \"growing exponentially\", according to Musk in the Q1, 2023 earnings call. This number of miles is key, as anyone who understands AI models will tell you, the more training data, the greater accuracy can be achieved. If we compare this figure to the \"just\" 1 million self-driving miles reported by Google's Waymo and Cruise, as of early 2023, Tesla looks to be very far ahead. Even if we compare this to \"safety driver\" miles, reports indicate Waymo racked up \"just\" 20 million miles in total, in 2020, which means Tesla likely has 7.5 times the number of miles. This also isn't taking into account the 150 million miles Tesla has reported is just for its latest \"beta\" software, I believe.Elon Musk also recently stated that to his \"best knowledge\" the \"current hardware\" can achieve full autonomy. Therefore, in theory, Tesla could do an over-the-air software update and turn almost every Tesla on the road (over 1 million vehicles) into a full self-driving vehicle. Of course, this would be done for a fee charged to those who choose to pay and this is where Tesla aims to capture back its margins.The value of an autonomous vehicle should also be not understated, this isn't just about being able to take long road trips without the achy arms, the potential is huge. For example, a fully self-driving vehicle could effectively replace the passenger railroad industry (a $250 billion market globally) by offering more personal point-to-point service. In addition, a new \"third space\" will likely be created in which one could use a Tesla as a home office, entertainment center, etc.A fully autonomous vehicle can also be used to generate funds, for the individual when they are not using it. For example, you could be in the office and your Tesla could be doing ride-hailing around a city or doing food deliveries. Therefore the platform could disrupt Uber (UBER) which is valued at $62 billion, at the time of writing.At Tesla's AI day in 2020, the company revealed details of Dojo which it claimed to be the \"fastest\" AI training supercomputer in the world, which was so powerful it actually tripped the power grid in Palo Alto, California.The Dojo platform has huge potential and could be utilized as a high-margin \"sellable service\" similar to AWS cloud. AWS is the profit engine of Amazon (AMZN), driving 188% of its operating income, despite generating just ~14.35% of its total revenue, as of Q4,22. I discussed details of this in my previous post where I made the case that Amazon should spin off AWS, its most lucrative business segment (in my opinion).Tesla ExaPOD Dojo Supercomputer (Tesla AI Day 2022)This Dojo platform and Tesla's developed custom chips (such as the D1) are also expected to be key components for \"Optimus\" Tesla's autonomous robot. An \"affordable\" robot in every home could become a reality and would be aligned extremely well with Tesla's current business model, technology, and strategy. The robotics industry is forecast to grow at a 14.3% compounded annual growth rate [CAGR] and reach a value of $30.8 billion by 2027 thus the potential is huge for Tesla.Tesla Robot Optimus (AI Day 22)Financials and ValuationTesla reported $23.33 billion in revenue which missed analyst forecasts by $26 million, despite increasing by a solid 24% year over year. This growth rate has slowed down substantially from the 34% reported in Q4,22 and the 55.95% in Q3,22, which looks to have been driven by both the \"recessionary\" environment as well as increasing competition. The good news is a \"price cut\" by Tesla should help to solve both issues. It should also be noted that Tesla reported \"record\" production and delivery numbers for the first quarter of 2023. The company generated 422,875 deliveries, which was up from the 405,278 reported in Q4,22. However, its sequential delivery growth rate has declined substantially from 17.87% in Q4,22 to just 4.34% by Q1,23, due to the aforementioned reasons. A positive is Tesla's production numbers have recovered with a record 440,808 reported for the first quarter of 2023, as the company resolved the issues at its Shanghai Gigafactory.In terms of the valuation for Tesla, I have updated my model since my last post with the latest financials for Q1,23. In addition, I have adjusted my revenue growth rate from 26% to 27% for \"next year\" on the back of the planned decrease in prices which I believe should help to spur demand. I have also increased my forecasted revenue growth rate from 31% to 32% in years 2 to 5, due to my expected rebound in the economy and consumer demand (post-2023), plus the price reductions. Keep in mind, this isn't taking into account the potential of Dojo and thus that would really add bonus optionality into the stock.Tesla stock valuation 1 (Created by author Deep Tech Insights)I previously forecast a 20% operating margin over the next 10 years, which I believe is still easily achievable.

This tremendous bull run meant Tesla&#39;s stock price increased by over 1,300% and made many investors &#34;Teslanaires&#34;. However, since the macroeconomic environment changed in November 2021, as thehighinflation numbers were released, Tesla has become a rollercoaster for investors. The stock price has now been butchered by 73% from its all-time highs, with a 44% decline in December alone. This looks to have been driven by a series of macroeconomic factors. In addition, to a serious amount of stock selling by founder Elon Musk (which I will discuss more on in the Risks) section. There have also been somereportsof a production cut in January 2023, expected at Tesla&#39;s Shanghai factory. Although the company hasn&#39;t confirmed this yet. With all this bad news you may wonder why I am bullish on the stock? There are a few reasons for this, of course, we know about the company&#39;s leadership position and technology innovation. In addition, Tesla customers are nowpoisedto benefit from a $7,500 EV tax incentive which was offered thanks to the &#34;anti-inflation act&#34; and should boost EV demand. Its stock is also deeply undervalued intrinsically. In this post, I&#39;m going to review its financials, outline production updates, and revisit its valuation. Let&#39;s dive in.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a79a1ea5bc04bd0f7d6b837085e569e\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data byYCharts</p><h3>Strong Financials</h3><p>Tesla generated strong financialresultsfor the third quarter of 2022.

This was mainly driven by unfavorable foreign exchange headwinds, as a rising dollar impacted international revenue. Overall vehicle deliveries increased by 42% year over year to 343,830 units.

However, with options attached to the models, this will likely go over the tax rate availability. I did notice Tesla has relatively few low-cost (below $50,000 models) available on its website, within 200 miles of Rodeo Drive LA. I suspect the tax credit has helped to boost sales of low-value models already, which is a positive. I did notice Tesla is offering 10,000 miles of free supercharging which looks to be an incentive to boost demand further.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57567a6966f9a88dec06edea0df2921f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"431\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Tesla vehicle stock (Tesla website, author search)</p><p>As of the third quarter of 2022, Tesla ramped up its production by 54% YoY to 365,923 vehicles.

I do predict some short-term volatility over the next 12 months due to the recessionary environment, but Tesla's technology advantages should keep them ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":685,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9951255209,"gmtCreate":1673499045702,"gmtModify":1676538846747,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Drop","listText":"Drop","text":"Drop","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9951255209","repostId":"2302029346","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":713,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9961339723,"gmtCreate":1668831624263,"gmtModify":1676538119812,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good thing they have money to burn","listText":"Good thing they have money to burn","text":"Good thing they have money to burn","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9961339723","repostId":"1143890380","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143890380","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1668822759,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143890380?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-19 09:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143890380","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryFurther uncertainty for Sea Limited's Garena as its QAU did not stabilize as expected.

The macro headwinds continue to be a headache, and it seems that there is more uncertainty lying ahead for Garena Free Fire. The key forward is to focus on launching new games, with games such asPrimitive EraandBlack Clover Mobilelaunching recently. While this indicates that management is working hard to reaccelerate Garena’s growth, it is important to recognize that the success of games is not guaranteed, and this is the bigger uncertainty for the business. As a result, this caused its adjusted EBITDA margin to further decline to 32.5% during the quarter.</p><p>Additionally, management states that the expiry of the agreement with Riot Games will have no impact on Garena’s publishing business, and Garena is seeking other top-game developers for their publishing business.</p><p>Shopee<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79b7f33be279fa015f52addd35b55d96\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6aaff49a0ba8c901eadda2b7cf01a391\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q</p><p>Shopee’s GMV grew 14% Y/Y and the number of orders grew 18% Y/Y, a continuous decline in the past couple of quarters. This is a result of management pulling back on its sales and marketing (“S&amp;M”) expenses, exiting multiple markets, cutting costs aggressively (such as hiring), and lastly, the lower consumer discretionary spending.

Its overall adjusted EBITDA loss per order continues to improve by 23.5% sequentially, and more specifically, Shopee Brazil’s loss per order improved by 27.5% sequentially during the quarter as compared to 6.6% in the last quarter. Moreover, Shopee is expected to attain profitability by FY23 instead of FY25 as previously guided by the management. This goes to show that the management has made great strides in pursuing profitability, which is impressive in my view. Once it attained self-sufficiency, growth can reaccelerate, although, the management is expecting flat or negative growth in certain metrics in the near term.</p><h3>SeaBank</h3><p><i>Note that I will be using “SeaBank” and “SeaMoney” interchangeably.</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0f0cb77d6ac22f50a1208eaf075db51c\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>SeaMoney’s loan receivables grew 46% from 4Q21 and 110% from 3Q21 to $2.2 billion. These are loans provided to customers whereby SeaMoney generates revenue by charging interest rates, and it has been growing quickly. In myprevious article, I showed that in Sep 2022, SeaBank Indonesia grew its loans and customer deposits by 111% Y/Y and 147% Y/Y, respectively, and the launch of ShopeePay in Brazil. During the earnings call, management stated that the credit business is profitable and cash flow positive, and it will be focusing on growing this business in Southeast Asia (“SEA”) and Brazil.</p><p>Additionally, they have also said to diversify their source of funding for the credit business, which I believe is to seek third-party financing partners to reduce the capital required for the business and at the same time, reduce credit risk.

Management had also been deliberate in cutting down on S&amp;M expenses and combined with its acceleration revenue growth, its adjusted EBITDA margin has improved massively to -20.7% during the quarter. This is compared to -40% in 2Q22 and -120.3% a year ago.</p><h3>Sufficient Cash Reserves To Pay off Convertible Notes<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ff585449530fce4084e7d1447e077b4\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"798\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h3><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>One of the biggest concerns about Sea Limited for investors is the cash burn rate, as they fear that the company does not have enough sufficient cash reserves to pay off convertible notes maturing in 2026. However, not only did the cash outflow slow in Q3 2022, but the management has also hinted that there are sufficient cash reserves to pay off the convertible notes:</p><blockquote>“We aim to continue to maintain a net cash position, after budgeting for the full retirement in cash of outstanding convertible bonds and assuming no external funding.”</blockquote><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Overall, this was a pretty decent quarter for Sea Limited, as we could see that they had made huge improvements on the road to profitability, particularly for Shopee. While that comes at a growth trade-off, management has indicated that Shopee can reaccelerate its growth after attaining profitability in FY23, which is pulled forward from FY25 as guided previously.</p><p>Garena&#39;s results continue to be a concern as macro seems to have a longer-than-expected impact on its user base and its profitability as a result has been trending downwards over the past couple of quarters. Management has been working hard on its gaming pipelines, although the uncertainty lies in the successes of these new games and whether they could reaccelerate their growth in the future.</p><p>SeaBank has been growing its top line really quickly and huge improvements were made on the bottom line as well. Furthermore, the overall credit business is profitable and is generating positive cash flow, and has been increasingly making up a larger proportion of its total revenue. I continue to believe that this can be a potential growth driver for Sea Limited.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Sea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner</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\">\nSea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-19 09:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4559176-sea-limited-profitability-may-be-around-the-corner><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryFurther uncertainty for Sea Limited's Garena as its QAU did not stabilize as expected.

They’re also digging into whether FTX broke the law by transferring funds to Alameda Research, the bankrupt investment firm also founded by Bankman-Fried, an area of inquiry that has been reported previously.Bankman-Fried, who’s in the Bahamas and hasn’t been charged with any crimes, has admitted to grievous managerial errors at FTX but steadfastly denied that he ever knowingly misused customers’ funds. A spokesperson for Bankman-Fried declined to comment on Friday.The New York Times reported this week that federal prosecutors are also examining whether Bankman-Fried engaged in market manipulation by orchestrating trades that led to the collapse of the TerraUSD ecosystem earlier this year.Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, including Assistant US Attorney Nicolas Roos, met for about two hours this week in a conference room in lower Manhattan with dozens of people investigating FTX’s collapse. Potential charges were not discussed at the organizational meeting. A spokesperson for the Southern District declined to comment.John Ray arrives at bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Delaware, on Nov. 22.Photographer: Sarah Silbiger/BloombergThe meeting included officials from that office and the Justice Department in Washington, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the bankruptcy team led by John J.

Lawyers for FTX from Sullivan & Cromwell, including former Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement director Steve Peikin and former Manhattan federal prosecutor Nicole Friedlander, were also present, the people said.Roos helped prosecute Nikola Corp. founder Trevor Milton, who was convicted in October of misleading investors in the electric truck company.Bankman-Fried has given a series of media interviews in the past month describing accounting mistakes that obscured the extent of FTX’s ties with Alameda and the risks that created. On Friday, he said on Twitter that he’s willing to testify at a Dec. 13 hearing before the US House Financial Services Committee about the disintegration of his crypto empire.Bahamas-based FTX and more than 100 related entities, including the company’s US arm, sent shock waves across the crypto ecosystem with their bankruptcy filing last month.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) has been on a wild rollercoaster ride in recent years. I was long the company&#39;s stock throughout most of the time from October 2013 to early November 2021. However, I called out the company&#39;s stock for being significantly overbought during theheight of the tech bubble in November 2021. I released my position at about $395 (split adjusted). The Tesla top materialized at about $420, and the stock recently hit a low of just $100, illustrating a spectacular 75% peak-to-trough decline during this bear market phase.</p><p><b>Tesla 1-Year Chart</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/282600a9c7bebad468d950c73312023d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"479\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA (StockCharts.com)</span></p><p>Tesla&#39;s epic decline may have culminated in a bottom around the $100 level. Even if Tesla&#39;s stock were to travel lower, the downside is likely limited, and with Tesla&#39;s stock price at $100 or lower, the shares are essentially a gift. Tesla is trading at around 20 times projected EPS estimates (consensus). However, the stock may sell at 12-15 times forward EPS estimates if the company can achieve higher-end EPS results. Also, Tesla is far from a value stock and could continue delivering 30-20% revenue growth for most of the decade. Therefore, Tesla&#39;s stock price is oversold and undervalued and is a strong buy intermediate and long term.</p><h2>China: The Key Component to Tesla&#39;s Success</h2><p>China is a critical market for Tesla. Fortunately, Tesla has the necessary ingredients to do great things in China. Firstly, China remains the crucial and most lucrative electric vehicle (&#34;EV&#34;) market globally. China&#39;s population is more than four times that of the U.S., with more than 500 million drivers. Moreover, China is exceptionally EV-friendly and has the most dynamic EV market globally. China sold 5.67 million EVs and plug-ins in 2022. More than four million vehicles were 100% EVs, more than five times the number of all-electric vehicles sold in the U.S. last year.</p><p><b>China EV Sales - Up Almost 200% Over 18 Months</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a05966b50379cec911eaf85401fa4a1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"440\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>EV Sales (FT.com)</span></p><p>During this challenging slowdown, most of the global EV growth has come from China. While Europe and North American sales have increased modestly, China&#39;s EV sales have skyrocketed, nearly tripling in the last 18 months. Also, global EV sales should rebound in crucial markets that have lagged recently. Therefore, Tesla and other EV sales will likely boom in critical markets like China, North America, Europe, and others as the company advances in the coming years.</p><h2>Tesla&#39;s Price-Cut Advantage</h2><p>Tesla is well-positioned to capitalize on China&#39;s booming EV transition. The company&#39;s registrations surged last month. Tesla delivered more than 710,000 vehicles from its Shanghai factory in 2022. Tesla&#39;s sales surged after the company dropped prices in China, illustrating another advantage due to Tesla&#39;s economies of scale and remarkably high profitability. Tesla can lower prices in other areas globally to spur sales and improve demand while the slowdown persists. The company can scale prices back up as the next recovery materializes.</p><p>Tesla remains the leader in innovation and technology in the EV segment and is akin to the iPhone of electric cars. Therefore, Tesla vehicles should continue garnering substantial demand in China and globally. China EV sales surged by 71% in November, with Tesla delivering a record 100,291 Chinese-made cars. Tesla&#39;s Model 3 and Y vehicles remain wildly popular in China and many parts of the world. Tesla should continue growing revenues substantially as its China, Asia, Europe, and other business segments continue expanding in future years.</p><p><b>Tesla&#39;s Outstanding Deliveries Data</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/520bd1d43d0eca0ae2f272382423e07f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Deliveries (Statista.com)</span></p><p>Tesla closed out 2022 with more than 1.3 million vehicle deliveries. The surge represents a unit sales increase of 40% over last year. In Q4, Tesla reported deliveries of roughly 405K cars and production of about 440K vehicles. The lag in deliveries (relative to production) could be due to year-end orders that should transfer over to Q1 deliveries. Regardless, Tesla continues showing remarkable production capacity and significant growth momentum that should continue for years.</p><h2>Q4 - Strong Deliveries Translate to Significant Revenue</h2><p>Tesla delivered 17,147 Models S/X vehicles, 9% of which were subject to leasing. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 15,604 Model S/X vehicles last quarter. Using an ASP of $120,000 for Tesla&#39;s premium models, the company likely made <i>$1.9 billion</i> in revenues from Model S/X sales in Q4.</p><p>Tesla&#39;s Model 3/Y segment delivered 388,131 vehicles last quarter, 4% of which were subject to lease accounting. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 372,606 Model 3/Y vehicles in the fourth quarter. Even with the recent price cuts, I suspect the ASP came in around $50,000. Thus, Tesla&#39;s Model 3/Y segment may have delivered around <i>$18.7 billion</i> in Q4.</p><p>Tesla&#39;s leasing, energy generation and storage, and services segments may have provided around <i>$3.8 billion</i> in revenues in the fourth quarter. Therefore, Tesla&#39;s revenues should be around <i>$24.5 billion</i> for the fourth quarter, roughly a 38% YoY revenue increase.</p><p><b>Revenue Estimates</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0df73bdd213e08fde9e99d50f286555c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"218\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Revenue Estimates (seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>2022&#39;s revenues should come in at about <i>$82 billion</i> (52% YoY growth), and we should continue seeing significant revenue growth in the coming years. We could see 20-30% YoY revenue growth for most of this decade. Provided the consensus estimates, Tesla is trading at less than three times next year&#39;s (2024) projected sales. Additionally, Tesla is becoming increasingly cheap on a P/E basis.</p><h2>Is Tesla a Value Company Now?</h2><p><b>EPS Estimates</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7158db60b7f0e99d393120ce4c94c215\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"218\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>EPS Estimates (seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>While Tesla&#39;s 2022 EPS should come in at approximately $4, the company should earn more than $6 in 2024. Therefore, Tesla is trading at just 20 times the forward consensus EPS estimate. Additionally, EPS estimates have been lowered due to the transitory economic slowdown. There is a strong probability that Tesla could outperform in 2024, delivering $8-10 in EPS instead of the projected $6.10 consensus estimate figure. If Tesla achieves my $8-10 EPS estimate in 2024, the company will be trading at just 12-15 times forward earnings now. This valuation is remarkably cheap for a dominant market-leading growth company in Tesla&#39;s position. Therefore, as the slowdown moderates and market sentiment improves, Tesla&#39;s stock price should travel significantly higher.</p><p><b>What Wall St. Thinks</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c74dfd93b94caf5f438fe1e404546898\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"214\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Price Targets (seekingalpha.com)</span></p><p>While the lowest price target remains incredibly depressed below $100, the average analyst on Wall St. expects the company&#39;s stock to appreciate by about 56% by the end of the year. Some very bullish estimates project a stock price of around <i>$350</i>. However, I am more modest and believe Tesla&#39;s stock could reach approximately $250 by year-end, doubling from current levels. Moreover, Tesla&#39;s stock price could increase several-fold over the next few years.</p><p>Here&#39;s Where Tesla&#39;s Stock Could Be By 2030</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Year</b></td><td><b>2023</b></td><td><b>2024</b></td><td><b>2025</b></td><td><b>2026</b></td><td><b>2027</b></td><td><b>2028</b></td><td><b>2029</b></td><td><b>2030</b></td></tr><tr><td><b>Revenue Bs</b></td><td>$124</td><td>$178</td><td>$235</td><td>$315</td><td>$400</td><td>$510</td><td>$640</td><td>$770</td></tr><tr><td><b>Revenue growth</b></td><td>51%</td><td>44%</td><td>32%</td><td>34%</td><td>27%</td><td>27%</td><td>25%</td><td>20%</td></tr><tr><td><b>EPS</b></td><td>$7</td><td>$10</td><td>$14</td><td>$19</td><td>$25</td><td>$32</td><td>$38</td><td>$45</td></tr><tr><td><b>EPS growth</b></td><td>70%</td><td>43%</td><td>40%</td><td>38%</td><td>32%</td><td>28%</td><td>19%</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Forward P/E</b></td><td>12</td><td>15</td><td>18</td><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>21</td><td>20</td><td>19</td></tr><tr><td><b>Stock price</b></td><td>$120</td><td>$210</td><td>$342</td><td>$525</td><td>$704</td><td>$798</td><td>$900</td><td>$1,007</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Financial Prophet</p><h2>Risks to Tesla</h2><p><b>There are risks</b> - The company may miss earnings and revenue estimates. Furthermore, a slowdown in demand, increased competition, supply issues, decreased growth, issues with regulators and foreign governments, and other variables are all risks we should consider before betting on Tesla to move higher. Serious concerns could cause Tesla&#39;s valuation to lose altitude, and the company&#39;s share price could even head in reverse if any serious issues should arise. Therefore, one should consider these and other risks before committing any capital to a Tesla investment.</p><p><i>This article is written by Victor Dergunov for reference only.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) has been on a wild rollercoaster ride in recent years. I was long the company's stock throughout most of the time from October 2013 to early November 2021. However, I called out the company's stock for being significantly overbought during theheight of the tech bubble in November 2021. I released my position at about $395 (split adjusted). The Tesla top materialized at about $420, and the stock recently hit a low of just $100, illustrating a spectacular 75% peak-to-trough decline during this bear market phase.Tesla 1-Year ChartTSLA (StockCharts.com)Tesla's epic decline may have culminated in a bottom around the $100 level. Even if Tesla's stock were to travel lower, the downside is likely limited, and with Tesla's stock price at $100 or lower, the shares are essentially a gift. Tesla is trading at around 20 times projected EPS estimates (consensus). However, the stock may sell at 12-15 times forward EPS estimates if the company can achieve higher-end EPS results. Also, Tesla is far from a value stock and could continue delivering 30-20% revenue growth for most of the decade. Therefore, Tesla's stock price is oversold and undervalued and is a strong buy intermediate and long term.China: The Key Component to Tesla's SuccessChina is a critical market for Tesla. Fortunately, Tesla has the necessary ingredients to do great things in China. Firstly, China remains the crucial and most lucrative electric vehicle (\"EV\") market globally. China's population is more than four times that of the U.S., with more than 500 million drivers. Moreover, China is exceptionally EV-friendly and has the most dynamic EV market globally. China sold 5.67 million EVs and plug-ins in 2022. More than four million vehicles were 100% EVs, more than five times the number of all-electric vehicles sold in the U.S. last year.China EV Sales - Up Almost 200% Over 18 MonthsEV Sales (FT.com)During this challenging slowdown, most of the global EV growth has come from China. While Europe and North American sales have increased modestly, China's EV sales have skyrocketed, nearly tripling in the last 18 months. Also, global EV sales should rebound in crucial markets that have lagged recently. Therefore, Tesla and other EV sales will likely boom in critical markets like China, North America, Europe, and others as the company advances in the coming years.Tesla's Price-Cut AdvantageTesla is well-positioned to capitalize on China's booming EV transition. The company's registrations surged last month. Tesla delivered more than 710,000 vehicles from its Shanghai factory in 2022. Tesla's sales surged after the company dropped prices in China, illustrating another advantage due to Tesla's economies of scale and remarkably high profitability. Tesla can lower prices in other areas globally to spur sales and improve demand while the slowdown persists. The company can scale prices back up as the next recovery materializes.Tesla remains the leader in innovation and technology in the EV segment and is akin to the iPhone of electric cars. Therefore, Tesla vehicles should continue garnering substantial demand in China and globally. China EV sales surged by 71% in November, with Tesla delivering a record 100,291 Chinese-made cars. Tesla's Model 3 and Y vehicles remain wildly popular in China and many parts of the world. Tesla should continue growing revenues substantially as its China, Asia, Europe, and other business segments continue expanding in future years.Tesla's Outstanding Deliveries DataDeliveries (Statista.com)Tesla closed out 2022 with more than 1.3 million vehicle deliveries. The surge represents a unit sales increase of 40% over last year. In Q4, Tesla reported deliveries of roughly 405K cars and production of about 440K vehicles. The lag in deliveries (relative to production) could be due to year-end orders that should transfer over to Q1 deliveries. Regardless, Tesla continues showing remarkable production capacity and significant growth momentum that should continue for years.Q4 - Strong Deliveries Translate to Significant RevenueTesla delivered 17,147 Models S/X vehicles, 9% of which were subject to leasing. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 15,604 Model S/X vehicles last quarter. Using an ASP of $120,000 for Tesla's premium models, the company likely made $1.9 billion in revenues from Model S/X sales in Q4.Tesla's Model 3/Y segment delivered 388,131 vehicles last quarter, 4% of which were subject to lease accounting. Therefore, Tesla sold approximately 372,606 Model 3/Y vehicles in the fourth quarter. Even with the recent price cuts, I suspect the ASP came in around $50,000. Thus, Tesla's Model 3/Y segment may have delivered around $18.7 billion in Q4.Tesla's leasing, energy generation and storage, and services segments may have provided around $3.8 billion in revenues in the fourth quarter. Therefore, Tesla's revenues should be around $24.5 billion for the fourth quarter, roughly a 38% YoY revenue increase.Revenue EstimatesRevenue Estimates (seekingalpha.com)2022's revenues should come in at about $82 billion (52% YoY growth), and we should continue seeing significant revenue growth in the coming years. We could see 20-30% YoY revenue growth for most of this decade. Provided the consensus estimates, Tesla is trading at less than three times next year's (2024) projected sales. Additionally, Tesla is becoming increasingly cheap on a P/E basis.Is Tesla a Value Company Now?EPS EstimatesEPS Estimates (seekingalpha.com)While Tesla's 2022 EPS should come in at approximately $4, the company should earn more than $6 in 2024. Therefore, Tesla is trading at just 20 times the forward consensus EPS estimate. Additionally, EPS estimates have been lowered due to the transitory economic slowdown. There is a strong probability that Tesla could outperform in 2024, delivering $8-10 in EPS instead of the projected $6.10 consensus estimate figure. If Tesla achieves my $8-10 EPS estimate in 2024, the company will be trading at just 12-15 times forward earnings now. This valuation is remarkably cheap for a dominant market-leading growth company in Tesla's position. Therefore, as the slowdown moderates and market sentiment improves, Tesla's stock price should travel significantly higher.What Wall St. ThinksPrice Targets (seekingalpha.com)While the lowest price target remains incredibly depressed below $100, the average analyst on Wall St. expects the company's stock to appreciate by about 56% by the end of the year. Some very bullish estimates project a stock price of around $350. However, I am more modest and believe Tesla's stock could reach approximately $250 by year-end, doubling from current levels. Moreover, Tesla's stock price could increase several-fold over the next few years.Here's Where Tesla's Stock Could Be By 2030Year20232024202520262027202820292030Revenue Bs$124$178$235$315$400$510$640$770Revenue growth51%44%32%34%27%27%25%20%EPS$7$10$14$19$25$32$38$45EPS growth70%43%40%38%32%28%19%18%Forward P/E1215182122212019Stock price$120$210$342$525$704$798$900$1,007Source: The Financial ProphetRisks to TeslaThere are risks - The company may miss earnings and revenue estimates. Furthermore, a slowdown in demand, increased competition, supply issues, decreased growth, issues with regulators and foreign governments, and other variables are all risks we should consider before betting on Tesla to move higher. Serious concerns could cause Tesla's valuation to lose altitude, and the company's share price could even head in reverse if any serious issues should arise. Therefore, one should consider these and other risks before committing any capital to a Tesla investment.This article is written by Victor Dergunov for reference only.

One analyst said investors feared the bank's ability to execute on a turnaround strategy, which it is due to reveal on Oct. 27.Broader market malaise is also likely adding to investor worries, they said.

During this period, Nasdaq 100 spent a lot of time oscillating around the 200-day MA as the European debt crisis simmered, but there was not a major negative movement in the RAD and stocks resumed their upward course.</p><p><b>2015-2019</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/71d88b8cb61e2fe0a41c28f2eeebdc04\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"317\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>RAD vs Nasdaq 100 (Author calc based on Nasdaq 100 index futures continuous contract)</p><p>Note:</p><p>Greyed out areas indicate days/periods where the closing price was below the 200-day moving average.</p><p>From 2015-2019, the RAD showed a persistently negative move in Sep-2015 to Mar-2016 but afterwards it did not deteriorate any further and stocks resumed their upward trend. Amazingly, during this entire trade war period, the RAD did not show much of a negative move except in late 2018.

Despite a sharp sell-off in March 2020, RAD trended up (meaning regular hours trading had prices higher than afterhours) for most of the period! The RAD was screaming buy while the media was hyping up 100% infection rates on a certain unfortunate cruise ship and Europeans going into lockdown, etc.</p><p>The RAD started persistently falling in Nov-21, similar to when stocks overall began declining. Since then the Nasdaq has mostly been under the 200-day MA and the RAD has entered a fresh bout of declining since August 2022.</p><p><b>Where are we in the current stage:</b></p><p>From the chart above, it&#39;s apparent the current downtrend is the longest time spent below 200-day MA for 13 years, and also the sharpest and longest decline in the RAD in the past 13 years, and the RAD has recently continued declining rather than bottoming out. The last time it was this bearish in 2008/2009, the RAD indicator and Nasdaq spent 5 months bottoming out, before entering into a bull market.<i>Per 2008-2009, once this indicator starts to level out and the Nasdaq regains the 200-day MA, it may be a sign of a real bottom, but it appears we may yet be some time away.</i></p><p>I am not presenting this indicator as a silver bullet, however, it may be helpful:</p><ul><li>As a high frequency indicator (economic indicators and earnings are much more lagging). It is especially interesting to see despite the large declines in U.S. equities during the March 2020 coronavirus panic, U.S. regular trading hour session investors were more interested in buying equities than the afterhours investors, which may have been a good indicator of where the smart money was going when every other price-based indicator would have gone haywire, economic data would not be known for months and the news implied the apocalypse was just days away.</li><li>The reader is encouraged to do his own iterations, I&#39;m sure there can be fancier iterations (e.g., adding volatility, cross-checking with other indicators, etc.), I will just show the bare-bones analysis in this article without any bells and whistles.</li></ul><p><b>Appendix: Calculation methodology of RAD</b></p><ul><li>Calculated average price for the regular trading hours and after hours for each day based on Nasdaq 100 index futures 5-minute data from Apr 2006 (two years before the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 to establish a baseline) to mid-Sept 2022.</li><li>Subtracted for the difference and converted into a percentage.</li><li>9:30 AM to 4 PM as U.S. sessions regular trading hours (referred to below as regular trading hours) and all other hours as afterhours.</li><li>The difference is then added cumulatively, so it is easier to see a trend (as there are large gyrations day-to-day, if the daily results are plotted, the trend is less obvious).</li></ul></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Which means in a bear market, afterhours trading is generally at a higher price before declining during regular hours trading (this is consistent with our observation and feel of how the market usually behaves).It is hard to precisely explain this phenomenon, it could be that:If we combine this with 200-day MA (greyed out areas represent those days/periods where the closing prices were under the 200-day MA), we can see that the sharp moves down in the RAD coincide with the periods where the closing price was below the 200-day MA, while the RAD levelled off or increased when the closing price was above the 200-day MA.Let's break it down into a few major periods and see how the RAD performed in each.Apr 2006-Dec 2009RAD vs Nasdaq 100 (Author calc based on Nasdaq 100 index futures continuous contract)Note:Greyed out areas indicate days/periods where the closing price was below the 200-day moving average.In 2006-2007, both the Nasdaq 100 and the RAD largely trended in the same direction and the RAD hovered around 0% and did not portend the tectonic shift to come.The RAD sharply fell after the September 2008 Lehman shock and continued to fall till bottoming in February 2009 (stocks ultimately bottomed in March 2009). From February 2009 onwards, the RAD largely did not trend though it fluctuated on a day-to-day basis.2010-2014RAD vs Nasdaq 100 (Author calc based on Nasdaq 100 index futures continuous contract)Note:Greyed out areas indicate days/periods where the closing price was below the 200-day moving average.2010 started with a selloff in mid to late 2010. During this period, Nasdaq 100 spent a lot of time oscillating around the 200-day MA as the European debt crisis simmered, but there was not a major negative movement in the RAD and stocks resumed their upward course.2015-2019RAD vs Nasdaq 100 (Author calc based on Nasdaq 100 index futures continuous contract)Note:Greyed out areas indicate days/periods where the closing price was below the 200-day moving average.From 2015-2019, the RAD showed a persistently negative move in Sep-2015 to Mar-2016 but afterwards it did not deteriorate any further and stocks resumed their upward trend. Amazingly, during this entire trade war period, the RAD did not show much of a negative move except in late 2018. Most of the time the RAD oscillated nowhere and stocks went up.2020-presentRAD vs Nasdaq 100 (Author calc based on Nasdaq 100 index futures continuous contract)Note:Greyed out areas indicate days/periods where the closing price was below the 200-day moving average.This period gets very interesting. Despite a sharp sell-off in March 2020, RAD trended up (meaning regular hours trading had prices higher than afterhours) for most of the period! The RAD was screaming buy while the media was hyping up 100% infection rates on a certain unfortunate cruise ship and Europeans going into lockdown, etc.The RAD started persistently falling in Nov-21, similar to when stocks overall began declining. Since then the Nasdaq has mostly been under the 200-day MA and the RAD has entered a fresh bout of declining since August 2022.Where are we in the current stage:From the chart above, it's apparent the current downtrend is the longest time spent below 200-day MA for 13 years, and also the sharpest and longest decline in the RAD in the past 13 years, and the RAD has recently continued declining rather than bottoming out. The last time it was this bearish in 2008/2009, the RAD indicator and Nasdaq spent 5 months bottoming out, before entering into a bull market.Per 2008-2009, once this indicator starts to level out and the Nasdaq regains the 200-day MA, it may be a sign of a real bottom, but it appears we may yet be some time away.I am not presenting this indicator as a silver bullet, however, it may be helpful:As a high frequency indicator (economic indicators and earnings are much more lagging). It is especially interesting to see despite the large declines in U.S. equities during the March 2020 coronavirus panic, U.S. regular trading hour session investors were more interested in buying equities than the afterhours investors, which may have been a good indicator of where the smart money was going when every other price-based indicator would have gone haywire, economic data would not be known for months and the news implied the apocalypse was just days away.The reader is encouraged to do his own iterations, I'm sure there can be fancier iterations (e.g., adding volatility, cross-checking with other indicators, etc.), I will just show the bare-bones analysis in this article without any bells and whistles.Appendix: Calculation methodology of RADCalculated average price for the regular trading hours and after hours for each day based on Nasdaq 100 index futures 5-minute data from Apr 2006 (two years before the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 to establish a baseline) to mid-Sept 2022.Subtracted for the difference and converted into a percentage.9:30 AM to 4 PM as U.S. sessions regular trading hours (referred to below as regular trading hours) and all other hours as afterhours.The difference is then added cumulatively, so it is easier to see a trend (as there are large gyrations day-to-day, if the daily results are plotted, the trend is less obvious).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994458329,"gmtCreate":1661678382364,"gmtModify":1676536560293,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good info","listText":"Good info","text":"Good info","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994458329","repostId":"2262154492","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2262154492","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1661656790,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2262154492?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-28 11:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Top Stocks Cathie Wood Is Selling This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2262154492","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Investors recently poured $54.2 million into the $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$Companies sold by Ark Invest this week include $Signify Health (SGFY)$ and $Vertex Pharmaceuticals(VRTX)$.The ARKK ETF is dow","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Investors recently poured $54.2 million into the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></li><li>Companies sold by <b>Ark Invest</b> this week include <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SGFY\">Signify Health </a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VRTX\">Vertex Pharmaceuticals</a>.</li><li>The ARKK ETF is down by over 50% year-to-date.</li></ul><p>Shares of Cathie Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF), the <b>ARK Innovation ETF</b> closed the week down about 2.5%, losing out on earlier gains during the week.

Let’s get into the details.</p><h2>5 Stocks That Cathie Wood Sold This Week</h2><h3><b>1.</b> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SGFY\">Signify Health </a></h3><p><b>Ark Invest</b><b><i> </i></b>continued its sales of <b>Signify Health</b> (NYSE:<b><u>SGFY</u></b>) for a third straight week. This week, ARKK and the <b>ARK Genomic Revolution ETF</b> (BATS:<b><u>ARKG</u></b>) sold off a total of 3.14 million shares.</p><p>Earlier this week, it was reported that four companies, including <b>CVS</b> (NYSE:<b><u>CVS</u></b>) and <b>UnitedHealth</b> (NYSE:<b><u>UNH</u></b>), were competing to acquire the healthcare company. UnitedHealth submitted the highest offer of $30 per share, which is right around where shares of SGFY are trading. It seems that Cathie Wood is offloading her stake for a gain on an acquisition that may still fall through, reducing her risk. After the sales, Ark still owns 14.47 million shares of SGFY stock. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the sales continue.</p><h3><b>2.</b> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VRTX\">Vertex Pharmaceuticals </a></h3><p><b>Vertex Pharmaceuticals</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>VRTX</u></b>) operates as a biotechnology company that specializes in the treatment of underlying causes of cystic fibrosis. However, the company is branching out in a collaboration with <b>Crispr</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>CRSP</u></b>) to develop a blood disease gene-editing therapy called exa-cel. Exa-cell seeks to treat sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia and would cancel out the need to receive regular blood transfusions.</p><p>The two companies expect to submit their findings to regulatory agencies in the U.S. and Europe by the end of the year. If approved, Vertex could begin preparations to launch the therapy by Q3 of 2022. However, it appears that Wood won’t stick around to wait for the results. From August 22 to August 25, ARKG sold off 41,508 shares of VRTX. After the sales, the ETF owns less than 200,000 shares of the company.</p><h3><b>3. </b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IOVA\">Iovance Biotherapeutics </a></h3><p><b>Iovance Biotherapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>IOVA</u></b>) operates as a biotechnology company that seeks to use cell therapies to treat cancer. The company is currently undergoing clinical trials to investigate tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (or TIL) therapy as a monotherapy. Iovance is also investigating TIL “as part of combination therapy in advanced solid tumor cancers including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and cervical cancer.” In addition, Iovance is currently recruiting patients with different types of cancer to participate in the trials.</p><p>This week, ARKG reported selling 139,765 shares of IOVA. These were the first sales since Feb. 1. After the sales, the ETF still owns 2.79 million shares, making it the 36th largest position out of 50 total.</p><h3><b>4.</b> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ONEM\">1Life Healthcare </a></h3><p><b>1Life Healthcare </b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ONEM</u></b>) recently made headlines after <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) announced that it would close Amazon Care, its primary care and telehealth service. In July, the e-commerce giant announced that it would acquire One Medical, which 1Life previously owned. One Medical owns over 182 medical offices in the U.S. and collects a subscription fee for access to its physicians and digital health services. Amazon stated that it was shutting down Amazon Care because its operations overlap with One Medical’s operations.</p><p>Now, it appears that Ark is losing faith in ONEM. Wood’s ARKG ETF sold 561,735 shares of ONEM between Aug. 22 and Aug. 25. After the sales, ARKG still owns 126,174 shares.</p><h3><b>5. </b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/REGN\">Regeneron </a></h3><p><b>Regeneron </b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>REGN</u></b>) is a well-known biotechnology company that produces and commercializes medicines for a variety of illnesses. The company reported its second-quarter earnings earlier this month, with revenue coming in at $2.86 billion, down 44% year-over-year. However, excluding impacts from REGEN-COV(a)(b), revenue would have increased by 20% YOY. Meanwhile, Regeneron remains profitable, reporting a diluted earnings per share (or EPS) of $7.47. At the end of the quarter, the company had 35 candidates in clinical development, including Dupixent and antibodies for the coronavirus.</p><p>However, it seems that Cathie Wood and company were not pleased with the results. This week, ARKG disposed of 6,924 shares of REGN. These were the first sales of REGN since March 14. After the sales, the ETF now owns a total of just 48,727 shares.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","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>5 Top Stocks Cathie Wood Is Selling This Week</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\">\n5 Top Stocks Cathie Wood Is Selling This Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-28 11:19 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/08/5-top-stocks-cathie-wood-is-selling-this-week/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors recently poured $54.2 million into the ARK Innovation ETFCompanies sold by Ark Invest this week include Signify Health  and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.The ARKK ETF is down by over 50% year-to-...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/08/5-top-stocks-cathie-wood-is-selling-this-week/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2022/08/5-top-stocks-cathie-wood-is-selling-this-week/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2262154492","content_text":"Investors recently poured $54.2 million into the ARK Innovation ETFCompanies sold by Ark Invest this week include Signify Health  and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.The ARKK ETF is down by over 50% year-to-date.Shares of Cathie Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF), the ARK Innovation ETF closed the week down about 2.5%, losing out on earlier gains during the week.

It was threatening not only to bankrupt Mr Xiang&#39;s company, but to trigger a Lehman Brothers-like shock through the entire metals industry and possibly topple the London Metal Exchange (LME) itself.</p><p>But Mr Xiang was calm. Within hours, more than 50 bankers had arrived at his office wanting to hear how he planned to respond to the crisis. He told them simply: &#34;I&#39;m confident that we will overcome this.&#34;</p><p>And he did.</p><p>Four months on, the nickel price is falling, as Mr Xiang had predicted. The coterie of banks led by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co that were baying for his blood has been repaid. He has closed out nearly all his short position in nickel, making a loss on the trade of about US$1 billion - a manageable sum given the profits being generated elsewhere in his business empire, say people who know him.</p><p>Crucially: the man nicknamed &#39;Big Shot&#39; in Chinese commodities circles is poised to walk away from the fiasco with his multibillion-dollar mining and steelmaking company, Tsingshan Holding Group, intact and even expanding.</p><p>But while Mr Xiang moves on, others are left dealing with the destruction wrought by the crisis. His miraculous escape was thanks in no small part to the actions of the LME, which controversially intervened to prevent prices from rising and then suspended trading until Mr Xiang had struck a deal with his banks.</p><p>Those on the other side of the trade, who lost billions, were furious. Months later, the LME is dealing with a raft of investigations and lawsuits, and the nickel market is still reeling.</p><p>&#34;Nice to see that @jpmorgan and The Big Shot got out of this whole thing with only scratches,&#34; Cliff Asness, founder of AQR Capital Management, said last week in a tweet thick with sarcasm. &#34;It&#39;s just heart warming.&#34;</p><p>This account of how Mr Xiang extricated himself from a short squeeze that rocked the global metals markets is based on numerous interviews with people who were involved, all of whom requested anonymity. Multiple attempts to seek comment from Tsingshan were unsuccessful.</p><h2>Massive short squeeze</h2><p>Mr Xiang had built up his massive short position in late 2021 and early 2022 partly as a hedge, partly as a bet that a planned jump in Tsingshan&#39;s production this year would drag down prices. But when Russia&#39;s invasion of Ukraine jolted global markets, nickel started climbing - gradually at first, before rocketing 250 per cent in an epic squeeze.</p><p>On the evening of March 8, senior bankers crowded into a room at Tsingshan&#39;s headquarters demanding answers. Others dialed in for video calls from London or Singapore. Of those present, some didn&#39;t leave until early the next morning.</p><p>More On This TopicXiang Guangda, the metals &#39;visionary&#39; who brought nickel market to a standstillNickel trading halted after unprecedented 250% spike amid Russia supply fears</p><p>The crowd that night was so large because Mr Xiang&#39;s position was spread across about 10 banks and brokers - he had been a good client for many of them, including JPMorgan, for years. But after nickel started spiking on March 7, Tsingshan struggled to meet its margin calls. Now he owed each of them hundreds of millions of dollars.</p><p>The LME had eventually intervened to halt trading a couple of hours after nickel hit US$100,000. It also canceled billions of dollars of transactions, bringing the price back to US$48,078, where it closed the previous day, in what amounted to a lifeline for Mr Xiang and Tsingshan.</p><p>To reopen the market, the LME proposed a solution: Mr Xiang should strike a deal with holders of long positions to close out his trade. But a price of around US$50,000 would be more than twice the level at which he had entered his short position, and would mean accepting billions of dollars in losses.</p><p>Mr Xiang, who is in his early 60s, stood firm. From a start making frames for car doors and windows in Wenzhou, eastern China, he&#39;d built Tsingshan into the world&#39;s largest nickel and stainless steel producer, with an empire stretching from mines in remote Indonesian islands to steel mills on China&#39;s east coast.

It was threatening not only to bankrupt Mr Xiang's company, but to trigger a Lehman Brothers-like shock through the entire metals industry and possibly topple the London Metal Exchange (LME) itself.But Mr Xiang was calm. Within hours, more than 50 bankers had arrived at his office wanting to hear how he planned to respond to the crisis. He told them simply: \"I'm confident that we will overcome this.\"And he did.Four months on, the nickel price is falling, as Mr Xiang had predicted. The coterie of banks led by JPMorgan Chase & Co that were baying for his blood has been repaid. He has closed out nearly all his short position in nickel, making a loss on the trade of about US$1 billion - a manageable sum given the profits being generated elsewhere in his business empire, say people who know him.Crucially: the man nicknamed 'Big Shot' in Chinese commodities circles is poised to walk away from the fiasco with his multibillion-dollar mining and steelmaking company, Tsingshan Holding Group, intact and even expanding.But while Mr Xiang moves on, others are left dealing with the destruction wrought by the crisis. His miraculous escape was thanks in no small part to the actions of the LME, which controversially intervened to prevent prices from rising and then suspended trading until Mr Xiang had struck a deal with his banks.Those on the other side of the trade, who lost billions, were furious. Months later, the LME is dealing with a raft of investigations and lawsuits, and the nickel market is still reeling.\"Nice to see that @jpmorgan and The Big Shot got out of this whole thing with only scratches,\" Cliff Asness, founder of AQR Capital Management, said last week in a tweet thick with sarcasm. \"It's just heart warming.\"This account of how Mr Xiang extricated himself from a short squeeze that rocked the global metals markets is based on numerous interviews with people who were involved, all of whom requested anonymity. Multiple attempts to seek comment from Tsingshan were unsuccessful.Massive short squeezeMr Xiang had built up his massive short position in late 2021 and early 2022 partly as a hedge, partly as a bet that a planned jump in Tsingshan's production this year would drag down prices. But when Russia's invasion of Ukraine jolted global markets, nickel started climbing - gradually at first, before rocketing 250 per cent in an epic squeeze.On the evening of March 8, senior bankers crowded into a room at Tsingshan's headquarters demanding answers. Others dialed in for video calls from London or Singapore. Of those present, some didn't leave until early the next morning.More On This TopicXiang Guangda, the metals 'visionary' who brought nickel market to a standstillNickel trading halted after unprecedented 250% spike amid Russia supply fearsThe crowd that night was so large because Mr Xiang's position was spread across about 10 banks and brokers - he had been a good client for many of them, including JPMorgan, for years. But after nickel started spiking on March 7, Tsingshan struggled to meet its margin calls. Now he owed each of them hundreds of millions of dollars.The LME had eventually intervened to halt trading a couple of hours after nickel hit US$100,000. It also canceled billions of dollars of transactions, bringing the price back to US$48,078, where it closed the previous day, in what amounted to a lifeline for Mr Xiang and Tsingshan.To reopen the market, the LME proposed a solution: Mr Xiang should strike a deal with holders of long positions to close out his trade. But a price of around US$50,000 would be more than twice the level at which he had entered his short position, and would mean accepting billions of dollars in losses.Mr Xiang, who is in his early 60s, stood firm. From a start making frames for car doors and windows in Wenzhou, eastern China, he'd built Tsingshan into the world's largest nickel and stainless steel producer, with an empire stretching from mines in remote Indonesian islands to steel mills on China's east coast. Along the way, he'd acquired a reputation for visionary thinking and a taste for betting big.The spike in prices and the trading freeze caused havoc for companies that use nickel, like stainless steel mills and makers of batteries for electric vehicles. Some simply stopped taking new orders. On the LME, dealers were left frantically trying to recoup missed margin calls from clients who couldn't pay, and at least one had to seek financial support from its parent company.Yet with unprecedented chaos rippling through the industry, Mr Xiang - still facing his bankers in the early hours of March 9 - had a key advantage.

We are not so sure about its lofty stock price. One of the most obvious things Tesla’s board could do in this situation is to initiate the stock buyback that was floated in mid-2022 as an option when the stock was falling.</p><p>Interestingly, they haven’t yet done so.</p><p>This could be because the board and company leadership do not believe the stock’s decline is complete, especially with the backdrop of the current competitive landscape. It may also mean that they don’t believe the stock is cheap enough yet, and thus not a good use of capital deployment. Nonetheless, we would not be surprised if the company announces a new buyback plan in the near future.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p><p>The price cuts in the U.S. come on the heels of price reductions abroad, and they bode ill in the near term for Tesla Inc.’s margins. Combined with the fact that its market share is shrinking in China and not growing as quickly domestically—perhaps even stalling—in the United States, and the fact that traditional manufacturers are catching up, and things are looking grim for Tesla, Inc. in the near term. We believe TSLA stock has further to fall, and investors should be wary of entering at this price point.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","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>Tesla: Are Price Cuts The Canary In The Coal Mine?</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\">\nTesla: Are Price Cuts The Canary In The Coal Mine?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-14 11:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4569795-tesla-are-price-cuts-the-canary-in-the-coal-mine><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryTesla, Inc.'s recent price cuts should reduce its heralded operating margins.The U.S. price cut comes on the heels of a Chinese market price cut.Tesla stock remains expensive, even at these ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4569795-tesla-are-price-cuts-the-canary-in-the-coal-mine\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4569795-tesla-are-price-cuts-the-canary-in-the-coal-mine","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1152054962","content_text":"SummaryTesla, Inc.'s recent price cuts should reduce its heralded operating margins.The U.S. price cut comes on the heels of a Chinese market price cut.Tesla stock remains expensive, even at these valuations.Everything’s Gotta GoYesterday, Tesla, Inc.

One of the most obvious things Tesla’s board could do in this situation is to initiate the stock buyback that was floated in mid-2022 as an option when the stock was falling.Interestingly, they haven’t yet done so.This could be because the board and company leadership do not believe the stock’s decline is complete, especially with the backdrop of the current competitive landscape. It may also mean that they don’t believe the stock is cheap enough yet, and thus not a good use of capital deployment. Nonetheless, we would not be surprised if the company announces a new buyback plan in the near future.The Bottom LineThe price cuts in the U.S. come on the heels of price reductions abroad, and they bode ill in the near term for Tesla Inc.’s margins. Combined with the fact that its market share is shrinking in China and not growing as quickly domestically—perhaps even stalling—in the United States, and the fact that traditional manufacturers are catching up, and things are looking grim for Tesla, Inc. in the near term. We believe TSLA stock has further to fall, and investors should be wary of entering at this price point.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":293,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9968711175,"gmtCreate":1669331505298,"gmtModify":1676538182832,"author":{"id":"3582246479396497","authorId":"3582246479396497","name":"paul55555","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582246479396497","authorIdStr":"3582246479396497"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"10,000 eth worth 1.2m sell me some at double your cost please","listText":"10,000 eth worth 1.2m sell me some at double your cost please","text":"10,000 eth worth 1.2m sell me some at double your cost please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9968711175","repostId":"1191855687","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1191855687","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1669331225,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1191855687?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-25 07:07","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Ethereum Transactions Are At 4-Month Low, But Whales Keep Accumulating","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191855687","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Ethereum — the cryptocurrency that spawned the Web 3.0 industry — is seeing less activity and tradin","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Ethereum</b> — the cryptocurrency that spawned the Web 3.0 industry — is seeing less activity and trading interest, but big holders apparently still believe in the protocol&#39;s future.</p><p><b>What Happened:</b> Open interest in Ethereum futures open interest has taken a sharp hit at the beginning of the month when it dropped from October&#39;s average of about $7 billion down to a low of $4 billion in mid-November before more recently settling at just under $4.5 billion, according to data gathered from Glassnode&#39;s crypto analytics tool suite.</p><p>Concurrently, the seven-day average of the number of transactions processed by Ethereum&#39;s blockchain reached a four-month low of 39,580 earlier Thursday, according to another Glassnodechart.</p><p>Despite those rather bearish signs, the biggest of Ethereum holders continue accumulating and growing their ranks.
