Investor","summary":"Stocks have taken a beating this year, to say the least. The S&P 500 is down around 19% year-to-date","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Stocks have taken a beating this year, to say the least. The S&amp;P 500 is down around 19% year-to-date while the NASDAQ has slumped by around 30%. Many high-growth stocks have fallen even harder than that and it is not uncommon to find stocks that are down more than 80% this year.</p><p>While these declines are painful, a downturn in stock prices does provide a potential upside: The opportunity to conduct cheap buybacks. Low stock prices mean that companies can buy back their shares at relatively cheaper levels. When done at the right prices, share buybacks can be highly value-accretive for a company’s shareholders.</p><h3>Measuring the impact of share buybacks</h3><p>Buybacks reduce the number of shares outstanding. A company’s future cash flows are, hence, divided between fewer shares, leading to more cash flow per share in the future. But it comes at a cost. The cash that’s used to buy back stock could have been used to pay a dividend to shareholders instead. So how do share buybacks impact the long-term shareholder?</p><p>To better appreciate what happens when a company buys back its own stock, let’s examine a simple example. Let’s assume that Company A generates $100 in free cash flow per year for 10 years before it stops operating. The company has 100 shares outstanding, so it essentially generates $1 per share in free cash flow for 10 years. Let’s imagine two different scenarios.</p><p>In Scenario 1, Company A decides to pay all its free cash flow to shareholders each year. Hence, shareholders will receive $1 per share in dividends each year for 10 years. In Scenario 2, Company A decides that it wants to buy back its shares after the first year. Let’s say its stock price is $5. Therefore, Company A can use its $100 in free cash flow in year 1 to buy back and retire 20 shares, leaving just 80 shares outstanding. From year 2 onwards, Company A decides that it will start returning its cash flow to shareholders through dividends. The table below shows the dividends received by shareholders in the two different scenarios.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba2826542212cf4ddcaab1c1e86e3b9f\" tg-width=\"606\" tg-height=\"152\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>In scenario 1, shareholders were paid $1 per share every year starting from the end of the first year. In scenario 2, shareholders were not paid a dividend at the end of the first year, but were paid more for each subsequent year.</p><p>We can measure the present value of the two streams of dividends using a discounted cash flow analysis. Using a 10% discount rate, the dividends in Scenarios 1 and 2 have a net present value of $6.14 and $6.54, per share, respectively. In Scenario 2, shareholders were rewarded with better value over the 10 year period even though they had to wait longer before they could receive dividends.</p><h3>When buybacks destroy value</h3><p>In the earlier example, Company A created value for shareholders by buying back shares at $5 a share.</p><p>But let’s now imagine a third scenario. In Scenario 3, Company A’s stock price is $7.50 and it decided to conduct a share buyback using all its cash flow generated after the first year. Company A, therefore, spent its first $100 in free cash flow to buy back 13 shares, leaving the company with 87 shares outstanding. The table below shows the dividends received in all three scenarios.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/182b60d92d67d7a671582e9668bb2308\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"260\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>In Scenario 3, because shares were bought back at a higher price, fewer shares were retired than in Scenario 2 (13 versus 20). As such, Company A’s dividend per share in subsequent years only increased to $1.15. The net present value of Scenario 3’s dividends, using the same 10% discount rate, is only $6.04. This is actually lower than in Scenario 1 when no buybacks were done.</p><p>This demonstrates that buybacks are only value-enhancing when done at the right price. If the required rate of return is 10%, buybacks in the example above should only be done below the net present value per share of $6.14 if no buybacks were done.</p><h3>Applying this to a real-world example</h3><p>We can use this framework to assess if companies are making the right decision to buy back their shares. Let’s use the video conferencing app provider Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) as a case study. Zoom started buying back its shares this year even as its stock price tanked.</p><p>In the first three quarters of its fiscal year ending 31 January 2023 (FY2023), Zoom repurchased 11 million shares for US$991 million. This works out to an average share price of approximately US$90 per share.</p><p>The table below presents my estimate of Zoom’s future free cash flow per share. I made the following assumptions:</p><ul><li>Revenue grows at 10% for the first few years before growth tapers off slowly to 0% after 15 years.</li><li>The free cash flow margin improves from 27% currently to 45% over time.</li><li>Dilution from stock-based compensation is 3% a year</li><li>Zoom stops operating after 50 years</li><li>Its revenue starts to decline in the last seven years of its life</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a68d9163f9c0c407585d5c0657589da\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"363\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The table above shows the free cash flow per share generated by Zoom in each year under the assumptions I’ve made. Using a 10% discount rate and including current cash on hand (that can be used for buybacks or returned as dividends) of around US$18 per share, Zoom’s net present value per share works out to around US$112.</p><p>Recall that Zoom was buying back its shares at an average price of US$90 a piece. Under my assumptions, Zoom’s buybacks are value-accretive to shareholders.</p><h3>Time to shine</h3><p>Buybacks can be tricky to analyse. Although buybacks delay the distribution of dividends, they can result in value accretion to shareholders if done at the right price. With the stock prices of many companies falling significantly this year, buybacks have become a potential source of value enhancement for shareholders.</p><p>But remember that not all buybacks are good. We need to assess if management is buying back shares because the shares are cheap or if they are doing it for the wrong reasons. With stock prices down and the capital markets tight, I believe that this is a time when good capital allocation is essential. A management team that is able to allocate capital efficiently will not only cause its company to survive the downturn but potentially create tons of value for shareholders.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","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>When Should Companies Buy Back Their Shares?</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\">\nWhen Should Companies Buy Back Their Shares?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-26 15:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://thesmartinvestor.com.sg/when-should-companies-buy-back-their-shares/><strong>The Smart Investor</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Stocks have taken a beating this year, to say the least.

The S&P 500 is down around 19% year-to-date while the NASDAQ has slumped by around 30%. Many high-growth stocks have fallen even harder than that and it is not uncommon to find stocks that are down more than 80% this year.While these declines are painful, a downturn in stock prices does provide a potential upside: The opportunity to conduct cheap buybacks. Low stock prices mean that companies can buy back their shares at relatively cheaper levels. When done at the right prices, share buybacks can be highly value-accretive for a company’s shareholders.Measuring the impact of share buybacksBuybacks reduce the number of shares outstanding. A company’s future cash flows are, hence, divided between fewer shares, leading to more cash flow per share in the future. But it comes at a cost. The cash that’s used to buy back stock could have been used to pay a dividend to shareholders instead. So how do share buybacks impact the long-term shareholder?To better appreciate what happens when a company buys back its own stock, let’s examine a simple example. Let’s assume that Company A generates $100 in free cash flow per year for 10 years before it stops operating. The company has 100 shares outstanding, so it essentially generates $1 per share in free cash flow for 10 years. Let’s imagine two different scenarios.In Scenario 1, Company A decides to pay all its free cash flow to shareholders each year. Hence, shareholders will receive $1 per share in dividends each year for 10 years. In Scenario 2, Company A decides that it wants to buy back its shares after the first year. Let’s say its stock price is $5. Therefore, Company A can use its $100 in free cash flow in year 1 to buy back and retire 20 shares, leaving just 80 shares outstanding. From year 2 onwards, Company A decides that it will start returning its cash flow to shareholders through dividends. The table below shows the dividends received by shareholders in the two different scenarios.In scenario 1, shareholders were paid $1 per share every year starting from the end of the first year. In scenario 2, shareholders were not paid a dividend at the end of the first year, but were paid more for each subsequent year.We can measure the present value of the two streams of dividends using a discounted cash flow analysis. Using a 10% discount rate, the dividends in Scenarios 1 and 2 have a net present value of $6.14 and $6.54, per share, respectively. In Scenario 2, shareholders were rewarded with better value over the 10 year period even though they had to wait longer before they could receive dividends.When buybacks destroy valueIn the earlier example, Company A created value for shareholders by buying back shares at $5 a share.But let’s now imagine a third scenario. In Scenario 3, Company A’s stock price is $7.50 and it decided to conduct a share buyback using all its cash flow generated after the first year. Company A, therefore, spent its first $100 in free cash flow to buy back 13 shares, leaving the company with 87 shares outstanding.

As such, Company A’s dividend per share in subsequent years only increased to $1.15. The net present value of Scenario 3’s dividends, using the same 10% discount rate, is only $6.04. This is actually lower than in Scenario 1 when no buybacks were done.This demonstrates that buybacks are only value-enhancing when done at the right price. If the required rate of return is 10%, buybacks in the example above should only be done below the net present value per share of $6.14 if no buybacks were done.Applying this to a real-world exampleWe can use this framework to assess if companies are making the right decision to buy back their shares.

The Straits Times Index now rests just above the 3,300-point plateau although it's looking at renewed consolidation on Friday.The global forecast for the Asian markets is mixed to lower, with profit taking expected after solid gains a day earlier - especially among the technology shares. The European and U.S. markets were mixed and the Asian bourses are likely to follow suit.The STI finished modestly higher on Thursday following gains from the financial shares and industrials, while the properties were mixed.For the day, the index improved 15.63 points or 0.48 percent to finish at 3,301.96 after trading between 3,287.84 and 3,307.29. Volume was 1.43 billion shares worth 1.28 billion Singapore dollars. There were 304 gainers and 200 decliners.Among the actives, Ascendas REIT accelerated 1.37 percent, while CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust perked 0.48 percent, CapitaLand Investment plummeted 4.39 percent, City Developments dipped 0.12 percent, Comfort DelGro and DBS Group both added 0.69 percent, Genting Singapore jumped 1.21 percent, Keppel Corp was up 0.29 percent, Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust gained 0.52 percent, Mapletree Industrial Trust strengthened 1.12 percent, Mapletree Logistics Trust soared 2.27 percent, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation collected 0.73 percent, SATS rose 0.49 percent, SembCorp Industries advanced 0.93 percent, Singapore Technologies Engineering lost 0.49 percent, SingTel slumped 1.13 percent, Thai Beverage spiked 2.26 percent, United Overseas Bank climbed 0.96 percent, Wilmar International rallied 1.20 percent, Yangzijiang Financial tumbled 1.27 percent, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding surged 2.63 percent and Singapore Exchange, Hongkong Land and DFI Retail were unchanged.The lead from Wall Street is soft as the major averages opened higher on Thursday but were unable to hold the early gains and eventually finished mixed.The Dow rose 27.16 points or 0.08 percent to finish at 33,336.67, while the NASDAQ sank 74.89 points or 0.58 percent to end at 12,779.91 and the S&P 500 dipped 2.97 points or 0.07 percent to close at 4,207.27.The extended rally in early trading came after the Labor Department released a report showing an unexpected decrease in producer prices in July.Following Wednesday's tamer than expected consumer price data, the report initially added to optimism that the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of its interest rate hikes next month.However, subsequent comments from Fed officials seemed to downplay the data, with Chicago Fed President Charles Evans saying inflation remains \"unacceptably high.\"Crude oil prices rose sharply Thursday on rising hopes for energy demand after the International Energy Agency lifted its demand outlook. The dollar's weakness following the soft inflation data also contributed to the rise in oil prices. West Texas Intermediate Crude futures ended higher by $2.41 or 2.6 percent at $94.34 a barrel.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":82,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990019983,"gmtCreate":1660263486644,"gmtModify":1676532436462,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AJBU.SI\">$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$</a>ok lor.........","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AJBU.SI\">$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$</a>ok lor.........","text":"$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$ok lor.........","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a5e05c5ed1d7a3c8087e426bcadefacc","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990019983","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":383,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990037091,"gmtCreate":1660263414815,"gmtModify":1676532432568,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/.IXIC\">$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$</a>ok lor!","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/.IXIC\">$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$</a>ok lor!","text":"$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ok lor!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990037091","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":166,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990034531,"gmtCreate":1660263403826,"gmtModify":1676532432336,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/ES3.SI\">$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$</a>ok lor!","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/ES3.SI\">$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$</a>ok lor!","text":"$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ok lor!","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/faabee60433c7f20e7c549e82a661d3e","width":"1080","height":"2323"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990034531","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":177,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9905146051,"gmtCreate":1659841909675,"gmtModify":1703767000605,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"//<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/3581650882917100\">@WendyGoh</a>: Ok lor","listText":"//<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/3581650882917100\">@WendyGoh</a>: Ok lor","text":"//@WendyGoh: Ok lor","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9905146051","repostId":"9901029525","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9901029525,"gmtCreate":1659100653757,"gmtModify":1676536257534,"author":{"id":"3479274700653540","authorId":"3479274700653540","authorIdStr":"3479274700653540","name":"financead","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5edd2eb060757aaff1389f44b4f12616","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3479274700653540"},"themes":[],"title":"AMD: We Have A Problem","htmlText":"Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

The company may be rekindling the IPO.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Alibaba</b> has taken steps that could revive an IPO of its Ant Group holding. Its previous attempt to bring the company public fetched an enormous valuation. Though its IPO was pulled off the table, Alibaba still owns a significant interest in the valuable company. Here&#39;s what&#39;s happening now.</p><h2>Hidden gem</h2><p>Ant Group operates a digital payment app branded as Alipay. The company was founded by Jack Ma, who also founded Alibaba. Alipay&#39;s 1.3 billion users transact on Alibaba&#39;s e-commerce websites and anywhere mobile payments are accepted. The app also allows users to access its money market fund, its buy now, pay later service, and online banking. Alibaba owns 33% of Ant Group.</p><p>In 2020, Ant planned to IPO as a stand-alone company, which would&#39;ve valued the fast-growing company at over $300 billion. At that time, Ant Group would&#39;ve been larger than U.S. banks <b>Wells Fargo</b> and <b>Goldman Sachs</b>.</p><p>Unfortunately for Ant shareholders, the IPO was scrapped at the last minute by the Chinese government, which began to issue sweeping regulations on Chinese tech companies, like Ant, that performed financial services but were not regulated like financial institutions. Many Chinese stocks, including Alibaba, began a precipitous fall. Alibaba shares fell from over $300 per share in October 2020 to their current price of around $90.</p><h2>Is Alibaba stock a buy right now?</h2><p>If Ant Group is worth over $300 billion, which it was valued at before its ill-fated IPO, Alibaba&#39;s one-third stake would be worth about $100 billion. On top of that, Alibaba&#39;s primary businesses include its popular e-commerce platform and rapid-growth cloud business, which holds 5% of the global cloud market.</p><p>Altogether, Alibaba pulled in $9.7 billion of net income in its year ended March 31, 2022. So, using its five-year average P/E ratio of 32 times as a proxy, Alibaba should be worth $310 billion. Adding the company&#39;s $100 billion stake in Ant Group would bring Alibaba&#39;s total value to approximately $410 billion. Alibaba&#39;s current market cap is only $275 billion, which may represent a significant value opportunity to shareholders.</p><p>Chinese fintech regulation was one cause of the share price&#39;s decimation, but it would appear those issues are behind the company. Shareholders are now grappling with a potential delisting of Alibaba shares from American stock exchanges. The problem with delisting is that many large institutional investment companies cannot hold shares of companies not listed on a major exchange.</p><p>Many of those investors may already be out of the stock, presenting an opportunity for individual investors able to hold shares if they move to the OTC markets or foreign exchanges. An IPO of Ant Group may be a catalyst for the market to recognize Alibaba shares&#39; hidden value, potentially keeping it from being delisted.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba Has 1 Monster Hidden Asset</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\">\nAlibaba Has 1 Monster Hidden Asset\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-07 10:04 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/06/alibaba-has-1-monster-hidden-asset/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Alibaba has taken steps that could revive an IPO of its Ant Group holding.

At that time, Ant Group would've been larger than U.S. banks Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs.Unfortunately for Ant shareholders, the IPO was scrapped at the last minute by the Chinese government, which began to issue sweeping regulations on Chinese tech companies, like Ant, that performed financial services but were not regulated like financial institutions. Many Chinese stocks, including Alibaba, began a precipitous fall. Alibaba shares fell from over $300 per share in October 2020 to their current price of around $90.Is Alibaba stock a buy right now?If Ant Group is worth over $300 billion, which it was valued at before its ill-fated IPO, Alibaba's one-third stake would be worth about $100 billion. On top of that, Alibaba's primary businesses include its popular e-commerce platform and rapid-growth cloud business, which holds 5% of the global cloud market.Altogether, Alibaba pulled in $9.7 billion of net income in its year ended March 31, 2022. So, using its five-year average P/E ratio of 32 times as a proxy, Alibaba should be worth $310 billion. Adding the company's $100 billion stake in Ant Group would bring Alibaba's total value to approximately $410 billion. Alibaba's current market cap is only $275 billion, which may represent a significant value opportunity to shareholders.Chinese fintech regulation was one cause of the share price's decimation, but it would appear those issues are behind the company. Shareholders are now grappling with a potential delisting of Alibaba shares from American stock exchanges. The problem with delisting is that many large institutional investment companies cannot hold shares of companies not listed on a major exchange.Many of those investors may already be out of the stock, presenting an opportunity for individual investors able to hold shares if they move to the OTC markets or foreign exchanges. An IPO of Ant Group may be a catalyst for the market to recognize Alibaba shares' hidden value, potentially keeping it from being delisted.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9077500933,"gmtCreate":1658538397022,"gmtModify":1676536173085,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>ok lor............","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>ok lor............","text":"$Alibaba(BABA)$ok lor............","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b6201f17883d8004861a3f1a3e9b2ca5","width":"1080","height":"3794"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9077500933","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":292,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9077500045,"gmtCreate":1658538379587,"gmtModify":1676536173077,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AJBU.SI\">$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$</a>ok lor...","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AJBU.SI\">$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$</a>ok lor...","text":"$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$ok lor...","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1e34c09fe95d16b0846daaaa0a287f2a","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9077500045","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9077274581,"gmtCreate":1658538271943,"gmtModify":1676536173044,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok lor...","listText":"Ok lor...","text":"Ok lor...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9077274581","repostId":"1180606292","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1180606292","pubTimestamp":1658451768,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180606292?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-22 09:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple's New iPhone 14 Sales Will Likely Be Disappointing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180606292","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryApple is expected to increase the price of the new iPhone 14 due to inflation.However, I beli","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Apple is expected to increase the price of the new iPhone 14 due to inflation.</li><li>However, I believe that consumer demand for the discretionary consumer good, iPhone, will likely diminish as a result.</li><li>Further, Apple&#39;s pricey valuation leads me to believe that there is likely more downside risk than upside potential.</li></ul><p><b>Introduction</b></p><p>Inflation and slowing economic growth in recent months have been negatively affecting consumer confidence and sentiments around the world.

Revolutionary upgrades are getting rarer and rarer especially after the new 5G phones were released with the iPhone 12, and cellphones have become another commodity. Therefore, despite Apple&#39;s strong brand power and ecosystem, I believe investors should sell Apple ahead of the likely iPhone price increase.</p><p><b>iPhone 14</b></p><p>Apple will likely increase the price of its iPhone 14 due to inflation.CPI, consumer price index,for June 2022 showed an increase of 9.1% year-over-year, and the PPI, producer price index, for June 2022 showed an 11.6% increase year over year. As such, inflation is being felt by all parties in the economy from producers to consumers likely leading to a price hike in Apple products.</p><p><b>Pricing</b></p><p>Numerous analysts have pointed to a likely price hike on iPhone 14 pro models. iPhone 13 pro and pro max cost $999 and $1099, respectively. The new iPhone 14 pro and pro max is expected to cost $1099 and $1199, respectively, which shows a $100 price increase. The move, as stated above will be to protect the company&#39;s margins. Further, Apple is expected to introduce iPhone 14 Max replacing the $699 mini-series with a price tag of $899. The base model for iPhone 14 is expected to stay at $799.</p><p>The pricing structure is unique. Apple is expected to increase the price of the iPhone for only pro models while maintaining the price of base models, which seems weird since inflation should be impacting all four models. The reasoning behind this move is likely that Apple wanted to maintain the sales volume during low consumer sentiment periods by keeping the base models at the same price. However, to keep its revenues and margins, Apple is expected to increase the price of its pro models and entice more customers to upgrade to the pro models. As such, to convince consumers they wish to purchase an expensive model voluntarily, Apple has focused a plethora of new updates on only the pro models. The pro models will likely be the only models potentially supporting a 120hz display, a new notch design, a titanium frame, and a new a16 bionic chip leaving the base iPhone 14 models with almost no updates.</p><p>Apple is in a bad position. The majority of the consumer who bought the iPhone 13purchased the base model. However, the company is attempting to entice customers to buy the pro models instead of the base model for iPhone 14 with a plethora of upgrades. While this strategy may work, I believe otherwise. I believe the majority of consumers will find upgrading to iPhone 14 base models unnecessary especially in times of low consumer sentiments as it will not feature a new notch design or a new chip. Apple has focused the majority of upgrades on pro models in hopes of enticing customers to buy a more expensive model; however, I believe this move will only diminish the demand for the new base models. Further, I believe there are not enough number of consumers wishing to purchase the pro models to offset slower demand. This was seen in iPhone 13 where the base models accounted for the most sales.</p><p>What If...</p><p>If iPhone 14 base model and iPhone 14 may also receive a price hike of $100to $899 and $999, respectively, then I believe the situation will be even worse for Apple. Consumers buying these models will not only pay $100 more, but they will see a very minimal upgrade from the iPhone 13 models.</p><p><b>Consumer Sentiments and Strong Dollar</b></p><p>Low consumer sentiments in the U.S. and a strong dollar for foreign countries will likely deter a significant portion of consumers from purchasing a new iPhone this year.</p><p>As the chart below shows, U.S. consumer sentiments are in a free fall due to the slowing economic growth and high inflation, which will likely hamper some demand for the pricier iPhone.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f21c19a3035a5379bd6ee98dc4fcd94d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"194\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>St. Louis FED</p><p>A strong dollar relative to other currencies are an even greater risk for Apple. Japan is one of the biggest foreign markets outside of China, and Yen has been showing significant weakness against the dollar. Compared to a year ago, the Japanese Yen&#39;s value against the dollar fell about 25%. As such, Japanese consumers will feel an even greater price increase for the new iPhone compared to the U.S consumer. On top of that, Apple has already increased the price of the existing iPhone 13 in Japan by 19% due to inflation. Further price hikes in the new iPhone 14 model will likely hamper demand, especially during times of higher inflation and lower consumer sentiment.</p><p><b>Historical Valuation</b></p><p>Apple, looking at its historical valuation multiple, is trading at a premium today despite some negative outlooks and lackluster growth expectations. As the chart below shows, Since 2010, Apple has been trading at a 10~20 price-to-earnings ratio compared to today&#39;s 25. Apple, however, is not offering strong growth prospects either. The company is expected to grow at an average of4.07% year-over-year each quarter for the next four quarters. Therefore, considering the premium valuation and negative growth outlook, I believe there are more risk potentials than reward opportunities for Apple today.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/690a95a0f5127e3c47683395735226ca\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"155\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Macrotrends</p><p><b>Risk to Thesis</b></p><p>There is a reason why Apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world. The company successfully created an ecosystem of both hardware and software products that continue to expand and become embedded in the consumers&#39; lives. For example, Apple hardware products including the iPad, MacBook, iPhone, Air Pods, and Apple Watch all seamlessly connect with each other providing a unique experience. As such, Apple has been taking market share from its competitors, which may work to offset potential slowing demand coming due to price increases. Apple&#39;s strong product offerings and branding may prove to be more resilient than my expectations. However, even if this proves to be true, I believe Apple&#39;s high valuation leaves more downside risks than an upside potential maintaining my negative rating on the company today.</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>Apple's New iPhone 14 Sales Will Likely Be Disappointing</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\">\nApple's New iPhone 14 Sales Will Likely Be Disappointing\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-22 09:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4524854-apples-new-iphone-14-sales-will-likely-be-disappointing?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A9><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple is expected to increase the price of the new iPhone 14 due to inflation.However, I believe that consumer demand for the discretionary consumer good, iPhone, will likely diminish as a ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4524854-apples-new-iphone-14-sales-will-likely-be-disappointing?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A9\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4524854-apples-new-iphone-14-sales-will-likely-be-disappointing?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A9","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1180606292","content_text":"SummaryApple is expected to increase the price of the new iPhone 14 due to inflation.However, I believe that consumer demand for the discretionary consumer good, iPhone, will likely diminish as a result.Further, Apple's pricey valuation leads me to believe that there is likely more downside risk than upside potential.IntroductionInflation and slowing economic growth in recent months have been negatively affecting consumer confidence and sentiments around the world.

This means that Tesla will have roughly 3.1 billion shares of stock after its proposed split, which is well over the present two billion cap. Thus, Tesla isrequesting shareholder approvalfor an Authorized Shares Amendment to lift the permittable outstanding share count well above three billion. There’s no reason to think, however, that shareholders would fail to approve this request.</p><h2>Why Is Tesla Splitting its Stock?</h2><p>Tesla stock has been trading at a high nominal price for quite awhile. So what explains the company’s move to split the stock right now? In itsproxy statement, Tesla called out its employee compensation as a primary driver behind the move:</p><blockquote>“We believe the Stock Split would help reset the market price of our common stock so that our employees will have more flexibility in managing their equity, all of which, in our view, may help maximize stockholder value. In addition, as retail investors have expressed a high level of interest in investing in our stock, we believe the Stock Split will also make our common stock more accessible to our retail shareholders.”</blockquote><p>In addition, as that statement highlights, Tesla believes this will make TSLA stock more appealing for retail investors. And that’s probably true. Here’s why.</p><h2>What’s it Mean for Tesla Shareholders?</h2><p>In a stock split, the value of your investment doesn’t change. If you own 100 shares of Tesla stock at $750 per share on the day of the split, for example, you’ll own 300 shares at the new split price of $250 once the transaction goes into effect. In each case, the underlying stock is worth $75,000.</p><p>While the stock split itself doesn’t change an investment’s value, it can change sentiment. As Tesla’s explanation above showed, it may help newer employees feel that the shares are still at an accessible price to invest in. Same goes for some investors who may not have much capital to work with. A $250 stock feels more approachable than a $750 one.</p><p>Finally, there’s an impact in the options market, as well. To buy a call option on Tesla, for example, it often costs thousands of dollars per contract due to the high stock price of the underlying company. Making Tesla’s stock cheaper will also make its corresponding options more affordable for average retail traders. As much of Tesla’s overall trading activity occurs in put and call options, this split could help level the playing field for smaller investors.</p><h2>TSLA Stock Verdict</h2><p>To be clear, splitting one’s stock isn’t a foolproof move. <b>Amazon.com</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>), for example, just issued a20:1 stock splitof its shares and that did nothing to support the stock price. AMZN stock fell 12% during the week as the split went into effect. So, to be clear, prevailing market conditions can outweigh factors such as a stock split.</p><p>In general, however, a stock split should be a positive event for a company’s share price on average. And with Tesla shares down so sharply in recent months, any sort of positive catalyst could be enough to turn things around. It’s not just the stock split either. On Friday,<b>UBS</b>(NYSE:<b><u>UBS</u></b>) upgraded TSLA stock and gave it a$1,100 price target. These factors could give Tesla a boost in coming weeks.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla’s Stock Split: What You Need to Know</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’s Stock Split: What You Need to Know\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-19 09:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/06/teslas-stock-split-what-you-need-to-know/><strong>investorplace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Tesla(TSLA) announced a three-for-one stock split on Friday.It will ask shareholders for approval to make this split happen.This could be a short-term catalyst to boost Tesla's stock price.Tesla(...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/06/teslas-stock-split-what-you-need-to-know/\">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://investorplace.com/2022/06/teslas-stock-split-what-you-need-to-know/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1182929680","content_text":"Tesla(TSLA) announced a three-for-one stock split on Friday.It will ask shareholders for approval to make this split happen.This could be a short-term catalyst to boost Tesla's stock price.Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is in a bit of a tailspin recently.

Here’s what you need to know.</p>\n<p><b>Piling on the Pressure</b></p>\n<p>The U.S. will warn American companies this week of theincreasing risksof operating in Hong Kong, as Washington seeks to ramp up pressure over Beijing’s crackdown on the financial center. Meanwhile,&nbsp;Biden will nominate a former Defense Department officialto lead a Commerce Department agencythat will be a key player in limiting&nbsp;China’s access to cutting-edge technology. And&nbsp;White House officials&nbsp;are discussing proposals for adigital trade agreementcovering Indo-Pacific economies as the administration seeks to check China’s influence in the region.&nbsp;Six months into his presidency,&nbsp;Biden’s&nbsp;hard-edged China policy&nbsp;suggests relations between the world’s two biggest economiesare only going to get worse.</p>\n<p><b>Inflation Surprise</b></p>\n<p>Asian&nbsp;stocks&nbsp;are set for a mixed start after Wall Street fell from a record and bond yields rosefollowing a surprise U.S. inflation jumpthat stirred the debate on how long Federal Reserve policy can stay ultra-loose. Futures&nbsp;slipped in Japan and Hong Kong&nbsp;and were little changed in Australia. The S&amp;P 500 slipped for the first time in three trading sessions as traders digested a release showing the highest inflation since 2008 as well as mixedearnings reports from JPMorgan&nbsp;and Goldman Sachs.</p>\n<p>The Treasury yield curve saw volatility. Weak demand for the monthly 30-year bond auction unleashed a bout of steepening that reversed a flattening move spurred by hot June inflation readings. The&nbsp;dollar&nbsp;jumped.</p>\n<p><b>Buy Now, Apple Pay Later</b></p>\n<p>Apple is working on a new “buy now, pay later” service which would&nbsp;let consumers pay for any Apple Pay purchase in installments over time.&nbsp;The upcoming service,known internally as Apple Pay Later, will use&nbsp;Goldman Sachs&nbsp;as the lender for the loans needed for the installment offerings. This is how the company plans to make it work:&nbsp;When a user makes a purchase via Apple Pay on their Apple device, they will have the option to pay for it either across four interest-free payments made every two weeks, or across several months with interest, one person&nbsp;familiar with the plan said.&nbsp;The system could help drive Apple Pay adoption and convince more users to use their iPhone to pay for items instead of standard credit cards. Apple receives a percentage of transactions made with Apple Pay.</p>\n<p><b>Slowdown&nbsp;Scrutiny</b></p>\n<p>After China’s&nbsp;surprise&nbsp;central bank supportlast week, key economic data released Thursday will bescrutinized&nbsp;for signsof a post-pandemic slowdown.&nbsp;Debate is growing over whether China will shift from its gradual monetary and&nbsp;fiscal tightening, which began late last year after a rapid V-shaped recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. While the People’s Bank of China said last week’s action was a liquidity operation and&nbsp;not a sign of a change&nbsp;in policy direction, the sudden and broad move took many by surprise and stoked concerns about the growth outlook. The GDP report will come&nbsp;after new figures showedChina’s export growth unexpectedly picked upin June,&nbsp;accelerating&nbsp;to 32.2% in dollar terms&nbsp;from a year earlier, and&nbsp;overturning economists expectations of a slowdown to 23%.</p>\n<p><b>Hunger Crisis</b></p>\n<p>City-dwelling families in India are being forced to line&nbsp;up on the streets for food rations as the country’s hunger crisis worsens.&nbsp;Millions of people&nbsp;saw their&nbsp;economic toehold&nbsp;ripped away in lockdowns over the last 12 months, with more than 15 million&nbsp;losing&nbsp;their jobs in May alone. In one study, 90% of respondents said&nbsp;their households had suffered a reduction in food intake as a result of&nbsp;lockdowns. Meanwhile&nbsp;Ho Chi Minh City has ordered Samsung&nbsp;and other companies with factories in the Saigon Hi-Tech Parkto suspend operations; Singapore’s karaoke clubs havebecome virus hotspots; Malaysia’s record Covid cases maygo even higher; and the U.K.’s decision to ease restrictions even as another wave hits has sparkedcalls for caution.</p>\n<p><b>And finally, here’s what Tracy’s&nbsp;interested in today</b></p>\n<p>One of the most interesting things about the closely-watched release of U.S. inflation data was the immediate market reaction to it. As CPI came in hotter than expected, with a 5.4% jump year-over-year verses expectations for a 4.9% increase, the yield curve flattened with traders putting on bets that the Federal Reserve would stomp out higher prices with interest rate hikes (so much so that the longer-end of the curve is getting close to inverting as the spread between 20-year and 30-year U.S. Treasuries narrows).

China’s GDP will be scrutinized for signs of a post-pandemic slowdown. Here’s what you need to know.\nPiling on the Pressure\nThe U.S. will warn American companies this week of theincreasing risksof operating in Hong Kong, as Washington seeks to ramp up pressure over Beijing’s crackdown on the financial center. Meanwhile, Biden will nominate a former Defense Department officialto lead a Commerce Department agencythat will be a key player in limiting China’s access to cutting-edge technology. And White House officials are discussing proposals for adigital trade agreementcovering Indo-Pacific economies as the administration seeks to check China’s influence in the region. Six months into his presidency, Biden’s hard-edged China policy suggests relations between the world’s two biggest economiesare only going to get worse.\nInflation Surprise\nAsian stocks are set for a mixed start after Wall Street fell from a record and bond yields rosefollowing a surprise U.S. inflation jumpthat stirred the debate on how long Federal Reserve policy can stay ultra-loose. Futures slipped in Japan and Hong Kong and were little changed in Australia. The S&P 500 slipped for the first time in three trading sessions as traders digested a release showing the highest inflation since 2008 as well as mixedearnings reports from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.\nThe Treasury yield curve saw volatility. Weak demand for the monthly 30-year bond auction unleashed a bout of steepening that reversed a flattening move spurred by hot June inflation readings. The dollar jumped.\nBuy Now, Apple Pay Later\nApple is working on a new “buy now, pay later” service which would let consumers pay for any Apple Pay purchase in installments over time. The upcoming service,known internally as Apple Pay Later, will use Goldman Sachs as the lender for the loans needed for the installment offerings. This is how the company plans to make it work: When a user makes a purchase via Apple Pay on their Apple device, they will have the option to pay for it either across four interest-free payments made every two weeks, or across several months with interest, one person familiar with the plan said. The system could help drive Apple Pay adoption and convince more users to use their iPhone to pay for items instead of standard credit cards. Apple receives a percentage of transactions made with Apple Pay.\nSlowdown Scrutiny\nAfter China’s surprise central bank supportlast week, key economic data released Thursday will bescrutinized for signsof a post-pandemic slowdown. Debate is growing over whether China will shift from its gradual monetary and fiscal tightening, which began late last year after a rapid V-shaped recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. While the People’s Bank of China said last week’s action was a liquidity operation and not a sign of a change in policy direction, the sudden and broad move took many by surprise and stoked concerns about the growth outlook. The GDP report will come after new figures showedChina’s export growth unexpectedly picked upin June, accelerating to 32.2% in dollar terms from a year earlier, and overturning economists expectations of a slowdown to 23%.\nHunger Crisis\nCity-dwelling families in India are being forced to line up on the streets for food rations as the country’s hunger crisis worsens. Millions of people saw their economic toehold ripped away in lockdowns over the last 12 months, with more than 15 million losing their jobs in May alone. In one study, 90% of respondents said their households had suffered a reduction in food intake as a result of lockdowns. Meanwhile Ho Chi Minh City has ordered Samsung and other companies with factories in the Saigon Hi-Tech Parkto suspend operations; Singapore’s karaoke clubs havebecome virus hotspots; Malaysia’s record Covid cases maygo even higher; and the U.K.’s decision to ease restrictions even as another wave hits has sparkedcalls for caution.\nAnd finally, here’s what Tracy’s interested in today\nOne of the most interesting things about the closely-watched release of U.S. inflation data was the immediate market reaction to it. As CPI came in hotter than expected, with a 5.4% jump year-over-year verses expectations for a 4.9% increase, the yield curve flattened with traders putting on bets that the Federal Reserve would stomp out higher prices with interest rate hikes (so much so that the longer-end of the curve is getting close to inverting as the spread between 20-year and 30-year U.S. Treasuries narrows). Risk assets like stocks dropped, while safe havens such as the dollar rose.\nOne simple way of reading the market reaction is that investors have abandoned the idea of a truly new “reaction function” at the Fed, or the notion that the central bank would tolerate significantly higher inflation and run the economy hot. Instead the market seems aligned in the belief that the central bank will come in and do pretty much what you would have expected it to do before the announcement of its new inflation-targeting framework — raise rates to cap inflation. The market reaction here tells you that the idea of the “Old Fed” is in and the “New Fed” is out.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":58,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3573540190522229","authorId":"3573540190522229","authorIdStr":"3573540190522229","name":"Targarean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/59de1c73df3e7e460bd84cc786850fa6","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3573540190522229"},"content":"Pay Apple Later","text":"Pay Apple Later","html":"Pay Apple Later"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9072316659,"gmtCreate":1657952546672,"gmtModify":1676536087853,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AJBU.SI\">$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$</a>ok lorr.......","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AJBU.SI\">$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$</a>ok lorr.......","text":"$KEPPEL DC REIT(AJBU.SI)$ok lorr.......","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ede17da4480a71fe09b349b62d53d927","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9072316659","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":89,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4096861291958630","authorId":"4096861291958630","authorIdStr":"4096861291958630","name":"StarLuck","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68dadbe13922423705b61d7955659ae4","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4096861291958630"},"content":"Hope to rebound soon😀","text":"Hope to rebound soon😀","html":"Hope to rebound soon😀"}],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9056369922,"gmtCreate":1654947275266,"gmtModify":1676535538285,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Huh","listText":"Huh","text":"Huh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9056369922","repostId":"1100174062","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100174062","pubTimestamp":1654915305,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100174062?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-11 10:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NFLX Stock Slumps as Goldman Sachs Says Netflix Is a Sell","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100174062","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Goldman Sachs lowered its rating on Netflix(NFLX) to \"sell\" from \"neutral.\"NFLX stock is sinking fol","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Goldman Sachs lowered its rating on <b>Netflix</b>(<b><u>NFLX</u></b>) to &#34;sell&#34; from &#34;neutral.&#34;</li><li>NFLX stock is sinking following the downgrade.</li><li>As reasons for the move, the firm cited upcoming economic weakness and increased competition.</li></ul><p><b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>) stock is tumbling today after Goldman Sachs lowered its rating on NFLX to “sell” from “neutral.” The firm also slashed its price target on the shares to $186 from $265.</p><p>Goldman cut its estimates for Netflix to reflect a deterioration in the firm’s macro outlook, analyst Eric Sheridan explained.

I&#39;ve generally rated it a &#39;hold&#39; in my articles, seeing it as a high-growth company with some major financial downsides. NIO grew revenue at 122% in the 12 months before the recent earnings release, which is certainly impressive. However, the company is also rapidly increasing its share count, making every shareholder&#39;s ownership claim smaller over time. NIO isn&#39;t the worst offender on earth when it comes to dilution; its share count popped dramatically in 2019 then slowed down afterward. The share count increase was significant enough to merit a mention though: it grew by 67% CAGR between 2018 and 2022.</p><p>For me, this dilution was, until recently, enough of a concern to avoid NIO stock. NIO&#39;s revenue is growing faster than its share count, but the one offsets the other enough that the growth looks less impressive after adjusting for dilution.</p><p>That was pretty much the end of the story for me for a long time. As a fan of Chinese tech stocks, I had researched NIO and decided that it didn&#39;t have the financial soundness other Chinese companies have. It&#39;s issuing equity to fuel growth, and it still isn&#39;t profitable. Case closed.</p><p>Or so it seemed. While I was content to leave NIO alone for a good while, I started thinking about the success Warren Buffett had with his <b>BYD</b>(OTCPK:BYDDF) investment. Buffett bought the stock in 2008 for a mere $232 million, and the position grew to be worth $5.9 billion. I considered buying some BYD, but the stock looked overheated: it was rallying very hard on the day I considered buying it. NIO seemed like a company that could eventually go on to become &#34;the next BYD,&#34; so I snapped up a couple of shares. Representing far less than 1% of my portfolio, the shares I bought are almost nothing, but some developments occurred that made me feel that they would be worth a tiny portfolio allocation.</p><p>On Thursday, June 9, I noticed NIO stock falling on an earnings beat. That was when I bought. What intrigued me was how much cheaper the stock had gotten due to the combination of a lower price and higher revenue. The combination of these two factors brought NIO&#39;s price/sales ratio down to 5.6, which isn&#39;t exorbitantly high for a company with NIO&#39;s growth track record. In its most recent quarter, the company&#39;s sales grew at 25%, with a massive Chinese lockdown in the picture. If the company can avoid lockdowns and other political headwinds in the next year it should be able to accelerate its revenue growth considerably; a return to 100% growth would make its 5.6 sales multiple appear cheap. This combination of a moderate valuation and growth potential is enticing. Nevertheless, I still rate the stock a hold, as I wouldn&#39;t feel comfortable recommending it to a less risk-tolerant investor, nor would I give it a heavy weighting in my own portfolio.</p><p><b>Competitive Landscape</b></p><p>One of the reasons why I&#39;m maintaining my &#39;hold&#39; rating on NIO is because of the competitive landscape it finds itself in. EV is a very competitive space, with one company -<b>Tesla</b>(TSLA) -- having the most brand recognition, and another - BYD - having the biggest market share in China.</p><p>NIO, right now, can&#39;t touch the advantages that either of those companies has. It isn&#39;t selling as many cars as either, and it doesn&#39;t have as much name recognition. However, it has the potential to improve. Prior to the Q1 lockdowns, NIO had a 122% revenue growth rate. Even with the lockdowns, it managed 25% growth. The pre-lockdown growth rate was much higher than that of Tesla, yet NIO still has a far lower sales multiple than TSLA does. As a comparative valuation play, NIO looks like it has promise.</p><p>The comparison to BYD is less flattering. BYD is growing deliveries by250% year-over-year, which is a much faster growth rate than NIO. It&#39;s also doing a lot more deliveries to begin with: in 2021, it sold 593,743 cars. Recently, BYD made waves when it was revealed that it was selling batteries to Tesla. That was considered a big deal because it reversed what was once considered Tesla&#39;s big advantage over other EVs: battery production.</p><p>NIO is certainly no BYD-tier industry titan. However, it doesn&#39;t compete with BYD head-to-head. NIO mainly sells luxury cars, BYD sells a mix of cars and commercial vehicles. So, there is room for both companies in the Chinese EV market.</p><p><b>Financials</b></p><p>As we&#39;ve seen, NIO has an &#39;OK&#39; competitive position. It&#39;s no BYD or Tesla, but it&#39;s a real company selling ever growing numbers of cars every year. Viewed as a speculative small cap play, it has promise. As for whether NIO is fulfilling its promise, we need to look at the company&#39;s financials to see whether that&#39;s the case.</p><p>In its most recent quarter, NIO delivered:</p><ul><li><p>$1.56 billion in revenue, up 24.2%.</p></li><li><p>$228 million in gross profit, down 6.9%.</p></li><li><p>A $345 million operating loss, worsened by 640%.</p></li><li><p>A $281 million net loss, worsened by 295%.</p></li></ul><p>As you can see, most of the profit metrics got worse. Revenue grew, although it decelerated from previous quarters. It&#39;s not hard to see why NIO sold off after reporting these widening losses. When a company&#39;s losses increase in magnitude, it becomes worth less, assuming it was valued accurately prior to the losses. With that said, NIO&#39;s release beat on not only the top line but also the bottom line, so it&#39;s not clear why it sold off after earnings. It suggests that analysts covering the stock were not very confident in the appraisal of fair value they held prior to the release.</p><p>To be perfectly honest, even the fact that NIO had a strong top line showing was impressive. Lockdowns were in effect in much of China in the quarter just reported, and NIO factories were known to have been affected by them. Given the headwinds present at the time, the earnings release was relatively strong, although the possibility of future lockdowns certainly merits caution.</p><p><b>Balance Sheet</b></p><p>Having looked at NIO&#39;s most recent quarter, we can now turn to its balance sheet. According to Seeking Alpha Quant, NIO boasts the following balance sheet metrics:</p><ul><li><p>Assets: $13.7 billion.</p></li><li><p>Liabilities: $7.8 billion.</p></li><li><p>Equity: $5.3 billion.</p></li><li><p>Debt: $1.7 billion.</p></li><li><p>Current assets: $10 billion.</p></li><li><p>Current liabilities: $5 billion.</p></li><li><p>Cash: $2.5 billion.</p></li><li><p>Cash + short term securities: $7.7 billion</p></li></ul><p>From the figures above, we can calculate:</p><ul><li><p>A current ratio of 2, suggesting excellent liquidity.</p></li><li><p>A cash ratio of 1.54, again suggesting excellent liquidity.</p></li><li><p>A debt/equity ratio of 0.32, suggesting strong solvency.</p></li></ul><p>Put simply, NIO&#39;s balance sheet is very good. It scores well on both liquidity and solvency, and has enough cash to pay off ALL of its debt! The only caveat I&#39;d mention here is that much of this was achieved by selling equity instead of borrowing. In today&#39;s market conditions NIO won&#39;t be able to raise as much money by selling stock compared to what it was able to sell in the past, so it may have to borrow more in the future.</p><p><b>The Bullish Case</b></p><p>So far we&#39;ve seen that NIO recently delivered lackluster earnings, but has a strong balance sheet. Pretty mixed signals on the financials front. However, there is a bullish case to be made here. Assuming that we can avoid truly severe lockdowns in China over the next few years, then NIO should be able to ramp up its revenue growth considerably. Remember that the company was growing sales at 122% before the lockdown-induced deceleration to 25%. If operations at NIO&#39;s factories get back to normal, then it could experience revenue acceleration. If it can get back to 100% growth, then some of its valuation multiples will begin to look low. NIO currently trades at 5.6 times sales, 5.7 times book value, and 100 times operating cash flow. These multiples definitely look steep, but with sales growing at 100% year-over-year, they aren&#39;t impossible to justify. Notably, the sales multiple is far lower than Tesla&#39;s, and NIO&#39;s pre-Q1 growth was far higher than that company&#39;s. So there is significant potential here.</p><p><b>Risks &amp; Challenges</b></p><p>As we&#39;ve seen, NIO is a very fast growing company with a strong balance sheet. If it can get over its current COVID-induced woes, it may become a winner. However, there are many risks and challenges to be aware of here. Enough that I&#39;m still rating it a &#39;hold&#39; even though I did pick up a few shares myself. These risks and challenges include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Equity sales and debt issuance.</b>NIO&#39;s share count grew at 67% CAGR between 2018 and 2022. It still has more share sales planned. If its stock keeps going down then it may have to borrow to finance operations, which will take a bite out of the healthy balance sheet metrics I mentioned earlier. To be frank, NIO really needs the COVID situation in China to moderate before it can truly take off. If that doesn&#39;t happen then dilution and/or borrowing will become necessary.</p></li><li><p><b>Competition.</b> Competition in the EV sector is fierce, and NIO is not China&#39;s market leader. It is far behind BYD on deliveries, and also on revenue. There are smaller competitors to contend with as well. NIO is a much smaller cap company than BYD is, so it has more potential to really soar in a best-case scenario. But it is definitely an underdog.</p></li><li><p><b>Regulatory issues.</b> Chinese stocks are currently facing regulatory pressure from the United States. The U.S. wants more ability to do on-site auditing before it will give Chinese companies the go-ahead to remain listed on the NYSE. NIO is one of the companies that has been identified as not meeting U.S. auditing requirements. If NIO has to list exclusively in Hong Kong, then U.S. investors may find it not worth the hassle to invest in. Potentially it could underperform relative to a U.S. company with identical fundamentals.</p></li></ul></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>NIO Stock Is Getting Interesting</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\">\nNIO Stock Is Getting Interesting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-11 10:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4517787-nio-stock-is-getting-interesting><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNIO stock recently fell 7% in one trading day after its Q1 earnings release.Earnings exceeded what analysts expected but were bad in absolute terms, as the net loss widened.I'm more optimistic ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4517787-nio-stock-is-getting-interesting\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO.SI":"蔚来","NIO":"蔚来","09866":"蔚来-SW"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4517787-nio-stock-is-getting-interesting","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1179127588","content_text":"SummaryNIO stock recently fell 7% in one trading day after its Q1 earnings release.Earnings exceeded what analysts expected but were bad in absolute terms, as the net loss widened.I'm more optimistic toward NIO now than I was in the past because its price has come down while its revenue has grown.I still assign it a 'hold' rating, though, because I'm not yet ready to recommend it to others due to the high-risk level.NIO(NYSE:NIO) has never been my favorite Chinese stock. I've generally rated it a 'hold' in my articles, seeing it as a high-growth company with some major financial downsides. NIO grew revenue at 122% in the 12 months before the recent earnings release, which is certainly impressive. However, the company is also rapidly increasing its share count, making every shareholder's ownership claim smaller over time. NIO isn't the worst offender on earth when it comes to dilution; its share count popped dramatically in 2019 then slowed down afterward. The share count increase was significant enough to merit a mention though: it grew by 67% CAGR between 2018 and 2022.For me, this dilution was, until recently, enough of a concern to avoid NIO stock. NIO's revenue is growing faster than its share count, but the one offsets the other enough that the growth looks less impressive after adjusting for dilution.That was pretty much the end of the story for me for a long time. As a fan of Chinese tech stocks, I had researched NIO and decided that it didn't have the financial soundness other Chinese companies have. It's issuing equity to fuel growth, and it still isn't profitable. Case closed.Or so it seemed. While I was content to leave NIO alone for a good while, I started thinking about the success Warren Buffett had with his BYD(OTCPK:BYDDF) investment.

EV is a very competitive space, with one company -Tesla(TSLA) -- having the most brand recognition, and another - BYD - having the biggest market share in China.NIO, right now, can't touch the advantages that either of those companies has.

So, there is room for both companies in the Chinese EV market.FinancialsAs we've seen, NIO has an 'OK' competitive position. It's no BYD or Tesla, but it's a real company selling ever growing numbers of cars every year. Viewed as a speculative small cap play, it has promise. As for whether NIO is fulfilling its promise, we need to look at the company's financials to see whether that's the case.In its most recent quarter, NIO delivered:$1.56 billion in revenue, up 24.2%.$228 million in gross profit, down 6.9%.A $345 million operating loss, worsened by 640%.A $281 million net loss, worsened by 295%.As you can see, most of the profit metrics got worse.

As a comparative valuation play, NIO looks like it has promise.</p><p>The comparison to BYD is less flattering. BYD is growing deliveries by250% year-over-year, which is a much faster growth rate than NIO. It&#39;s also doing a lot more deliveries to begin with: in 2021, it sold 593,743 cars. Recently, BYD made waves when it was revealed that it was selling batteries to Tesla. That was considered a big deal because it reversed what was once considered Tesla&#39;s big advantage over other EVs: battery production.</p><p>NIO is certainly no BYD-tier industry titan. However, it doesn&#39;t compete with BYD head-to-head. NIO mainly sells luxury cars, BYD sells a mix of cars and commercial vehicles. So, there is room for both companies in the Chinese EV market.</p><p><b>Financials</b></p><p>As we&#39;ve seen, NIO has an &#39;OK&#39; competitive position. It&#39;s no BYD or Tesla, but it&#39;s a real company selling ever growing numbers of cars every year. Viewed as a speculative small cap play, it has promise. As for whether NIO is fulfilling its promise, we need to look at the company&#39;s financials to see whether that&#39;s the case.</p><p>In its most recent quarter, NIO delivered:</p><ul><li><p>$1.56 billion in revenue, up 24.2%.</p></li><li><p>$228 million in gross profit, down 6.9%.</p></li><li><p>A $345 million operating loss, worsened by 640%.</p></li><li><p>A $281 million net loss, worsened by 295%.</p></li></ul><p>As you can see, most of the profit metrics got worse. Revenue grew, although it decelerated from previous quarters. It&#39;s not hard to see why NIO sold off after reporting these widening losses. When a company&#39;s losses increase in magnitude, it becomes worth less, assuming it was valued accurately prior to the losses. With that said, NIO&#39;s release beat on not only the top line but also the bottom line, so it&#39;s not clear why it sold off after earnings. It suggests that analysts covering the stock were not very confident in the appraisal of fair value they held prior to the release.</p><p>To be perfectly honest, even the fact that NIO had a strong top line showing was impressive. Lockdowns were in effect in much of China in the quarter just reported, and NIO factories were known to have been affected by them. Given the headwinds present at the time, the earnings release was relatively strong, although the possibility of future lockdowns certainly merits caution.</p><p><b>Balance Sheet</b></p><p>Having looked at NIO&#39;s most recent quarter, we can now turn to its balance sheet. According to Seeking Alpha Quant, NIO boasts the following balance sheet metrics:</p><ul><li><p>Assets: $13.7 billion.</p></li><li><p>Liabilities: $7.8 billion.</p></li><li><p>Equity: $5.3 billion.</p></li><li><p>Debt: $1.7 billion.</p></li><li><p>Current assets: $10 billion.</p></li><li><p>Current liabilities: $5 billion.</p></li><li><p>Cash: $2.5 billion.</p></li><li><p>Cash + short term securities: $7.7 billion</p></li></ul><p>From the figures above, we can calculate:</p><ul><li><p>A current ratio of 2, suggesting excellent liquidity.</p></li><li><p>A cash ratio of 1.54, again suggesting excellent liquidity.</p></li><li><p>A debt/equity ratio of 0.32, suggesting strong solvency.</p></li></ul><p>Put simply, NIO&#39;s balance sheet is very good. It scores well on both liquidity and solvency, and has enough cash to pay off ALL of its debt! The only caveat I&#39;d mention here is that much of this was achieved by selling equity instead of borrowing. In today&#39;s market conditions NIO won&#39;t be able to raise as much money by selling stock compared to what it was able to sell in the past, so it may have to borrow more in the future.</p><p><b>The Bullish Case</b></p><p>So far we&#39;ve seen that NIO recently delivered lackluster earnings, but has a strong balance sheet. Pretty mixed signals on the financials front. However, there is a bullish case to be made here. Assuming that we can avoid truly severe lockdowns in China over the next few years, then NIO should be able to ramp up its revenue growth considerably. Remember that the company was growing sales at 122% before the lockdown-induced deceleration to 25%. If operations at NIO&#39;s factories get back to normal, then it could experience revenue acceleration. If it can get back to 100% growth, then some of its valuation multiples will begin to look low. NIO currently trades at 5.6 times sales, 5.7 times book value, and 100 times operating cash flow. These multiples definitely look steep, but with sales growing at 100% year-over-year, they aren&#39;t impossible to justify. Notably, the sales multiple is far lower than Tesla&#39;s, and NIO&#39;s pre-Q1 growth was far higher than that company&#39;s. So there is significant potential here.</p><p><b>Risks &amp; Challenges</b></p><p>As we&#39;ve seen, NIO is a very fast growing company with a strong balance sheet. If it can get over its current COVID-induced woes, it may become a winner. However, there are many risks and challenges to be aware of here. Enough that I&#39;m still rating it a &#39;hold&#39; even though I did pick up a few shares myself. These risks and challenges include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Equity sales and debt issuance.</b>NIO&#39;s share count grew at 67% CAGR between 2018 and 2022. It still has more share sales planned. If its stock keeps going down then it may have to borrow to finance operations, which will take a bite out of the healthy balance sheet metrics I mentioned earlier. To be frank, NIO really needs the COVID situation in China to moderate before it can truly take off. If that doesn&#39;t happen then dilution and/or borrowing will become necessary.</p></li><li><p><b>Competition.</b> Competition in the EV sector is fierce, and NIO is not China&#39;s market leader. It is far behind BYD on deliveries, and also on revenue. There are smaller competitors to contend with as well. NIO is a much smaller cap company than BYD is, so it has more potential to really soar in a best-case scenario. But it is definitely an underdog.</p></li><li><p><b>Regulatory issues.</b> Chinese stocks are currently facing regulatory pressure from the United States. The U.S. wants more ability to do on-site auditing before it will give Chinese companies the go-ahead to remain listed on the NYSE. NIO is one of the companies that has been identified as not meeting U.S. auditing requirements. If NIO has to list exclusively in Hong Kong, then U.S. investors may find it not worth the hassle to invest in. Potentially it could underperform relative to a U.S. company with identical fundamentals.</p></li></ul></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>NIO Stock Is Getting Interesting</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\">\nNIO Stock Is Getting Interesting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-11 10:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4517787-nio-stock-is-getting-interesting><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNIO stock recently fell 7% in one trading day after its Q1 earnings release.Earnings exceeded what analysts expected but were bad in absolute terms, as the net loss widened.I'm more optimistic ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4517787-nio-stock-is-getting-interesting\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO.SI":"蔚来","NIO":"蔚来","09866":"蔚来-SW"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4517787-nio-stock-is-getting-interesting","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1179127588","content_text":"SummaryNIO stock recently fell 7% in one trading day after its Q1 earnings release.Earnings exceeded what analysts expected but were bad in absolute terms, as the net loss widened.I'm more optimistic toward NIO now than I was in the past because its price has come down while its revenue has grown.I still assign it a 'hold' rating, though, because I'm not yet ready to recommend it to others due to the high-risk level.NIO(NYSE:NIO) has never been my favorite Chinese stock. I've generally rated it a 'hold' in my articles, seeing it as a high-growth company with some major financial downsides. NIO grew revenue at 122% in the 12 months before the recent earnings release, which is certainly impressive. However, the company is also rapidly increasing its share count, making every shareholder's ownership claim smaller over time. NIO isn't the worst offender on earth when it comes to dilution; its share count popped dramatically in 2019 then slowed down afterward. The share count increase was significant enough to merit a mention though: it grew by 67% CAGR between 2018 and 2022.For me, this dilution was, until recently, enough of a concern to avoid NIO stock. NIO's revenue is growing faster than its share count, but the one offsets the other enough that the growth looks less impressive after adjusting for dilution.That was pretty much the end of the story for me for a long time. As a fan of Chinese tech stocks, I had researched NIO and decided that it didn't have the financial soundness other Chinese companies have. It's issuing equity to fuel growth, and it still isn't profitable. Case closed.Or so it seemed. While I was content to leave NIO alone for a good while, I started thinking about the success Warren Buffett had with his BYD(OTCPK:BYDDF) investment. Buffett bought the stock in 2008 for a mere $232 million, and the position grew to be worth $5.9 billion. I considered buying some BYD, but the stock looked overheated: it was rallying very hard on the day I considered buying it. NIO seemed like a company that could eventually go on to become \"the next BYD,\" so I snapped up a couple of shares. Representing far less than 1% of my portfolio, the shares I bought are almost nothing, but some developments occurred that made me feel that they would be worth a tiny portfolio allocation.On Thursday, June 9, I noticed NIO stock falling on an earnings beat. That was when I bought. What intrigued me was how much cheaper the stock had gotten due to the combination of a lower price and higher revenue. The combination of these two factors brought NIO's price/sales ratio down to 5.6, which isn't exorbitantly high for a company with NIO's growth track record. In its most recent quarter, the company's sales grew at 25%, with a massive Chinese lockdown in the picture. If the company can avoid lockdowns and other political headwinds in the next year it should be able to accelerate its revenue growth considerably; a return to 100% growth would make its 5.6 sales multiple appear cheap. This combination of a moderate valuation and growth potential is enticing. Nevertheless, I still rate the stock a hold, as I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it to a less risk-tolerant investor, nor would I give it a heavy weighting in my own portfolio.Competitive LandscapeOne of the reasons why I'm maintaining my 'hold' rating on NIO is because of the competitive landscape it finds itself in. EV is a very competitive space, with one company -Tesla(TSLA) -- having the most brand recognition, and another - BYD - having the biggest market share in China.NIO, right now, can't touch the advantages that either of those companies has. It isn't selling as many cars as either, and it doesn't have as much name recognition. However, it has the potential to improve. Prior to the Q1 lockdowns, NIO had a 122% revenue growth rate. Even with the lockdowns, it managed 25% growth. The pre-lockdown growth rate was much higher than that of Tesla, yet NIO still has a far lower sales multiple than TSLA does. As a comparative valuation play, NIO looks like it has promise.The comparison to BYD is less flattering. BYD is growing deliveries by250% year-over-year, which is a much faster growth rate than NIO. It's also doing a lot more deliveries to begin with: in 2021, it sold 593,743 cars. Recently, BYD made waves when it was revealed that it was selling batteries to Tesla. That was considered a big deal because it reversed what was once considered Tesla's big advantage over other EVs: battery production.NIO is certainly no BYD-tier industry titan. However, it doesn't compete with BYD head-to-head. NIO mainly sells luxury cars, BYD sells a mix of cars and commercial vehicles. So, there is room for both companies in the Chinese EV market.FinancialsAs we've seen, NIO has an 'OK' competitive position. It's no BYD or Tesla, but it's a real company selling ever growing numbers of cars every year. Viewed as a speculative small cap play, it has promise. As for whether NIO is fulfilling its promise, we need to look at the company's financials to see whether that's the case.In its most recent quarter, NIO delivered:$1.56 billion in revenue, up 24.2%.$228 million in gross profit, down 6.9%.A $345 million operating loss, worsened by 640%.A $281 million net loss, worsened by 295%.As you can see, most of the profit metrics got worse. Revenue grew, although it decelerated from previous quarters. It's not hard to see why NIO sold off after reporting these widening losses. When a company's losses increase in magnitude, it becomes worth less, assuming it was valued accurately prior to the losses. With that said, NIO's release beat on not only the top line but also the bottom line, so it's not clear why it sold off after earnings. It suggests that analysts covering the stock were not very confident in the appraisal of fair value they held prior to the release.To be perfectly honest, even the fact that NIO had a strong top line showing was impressive. Lockdowns were in effect in much of China in the quarter just reported, and NIO factories were known to have been affected by them. Given the headwinds present at the time, the earnings release was relatively strong, although the possibility of future lockdowns certainly merits caution.Balance SheetHaving looked at NIO's most recent quarter, we can now turn to its balance sheet. According to Seeking Alpha Quant, NIO boasts the following balance sheet metrics:Assets: $13.7 billion.Liabilities: $7.8 billion.Equity: $5.3 billion.Debt: $1.7 billion.Current assets: $10 billion.Current liabilities: $5 billion.Cash: $2.5 billion.Cash + short term securities: $7.7 billionFrom the figures above, we can calculate:A current ratio of 2, suggesting excellent liquidity.A cash ratio of 1.54, again suggesting excellent liquidity.A debt/equity ratio of 0.32, suggesting strong solvency.Put simply, NIO's balance sheet is very good. It scores well on both liquidity and solvency, and has enough cash to pay off ALL of its debt!

Get ready for a very complicated report.\nThe ","content":"<p>Tesla is set to report second-quarter earnings Monday. Get ready for a very complicated report.</p>\n<p>The EV pioneer will report after the close of trading on Monday, July 26. Wall Street is looking for Tesla (ticker: TSLA) to report about 94 cents in per-share earnings from $11.5 billion in sales, according to FactSet. Beating analyst estimates is important, almost required, for any stock to remain stable in post-earnings trading. That’s true for Tesla as well.</p>\n<p>There will be a lot of moving parts, however, even more than usual for the world’s most valuable&nbsp;car company&nbsp;and its iconoclast CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk.</p>\n<p>Factors that will contribute to bottom-line earnings include the global&nbsp;semiconductor&nbsp;shortage,vehicle pricing, vehicle gross profit margins, and the level of profitability in Tesla’s battery storage business. In the end, however, investors will want to see a record in operating profits—no matter how it happens. That’s what could break shares out of their recent range.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d908f359ce3333ed256684e007ff74d0\" tg-width=\"871\" tg-height=\"580\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Tesla reported more than $800 million in operating profits in the 2020 third quarter, and the stock more than doubled to around $860 in the three-month span that followed. But since operating profit growth largely paused in the subsequent quarters, shares have traded down from roughly $860 to around $640 recently. Profit stagnation has meant stock stagnation, too.</p>\n<p>The good news for Tesla bulls is Wall Street is projecting a fresh record: Operating profit is expected to be $835 million for the second quarter, driven by strong deliveries. The 2021 second quarter marked the first time Tesla delivered&nbsp;more than 200,000&nbsp;vehicles in a single quarter.</p>\n<p>After earnings are digested, there should be endless arguments among bulls and bears about the quality of earnings. For instance, one way Tesla generates sales is by selling regulatory credits—which it earns by producing more than its fair share of electric vehicles. The company generated $518 million in first-quarter credit sales, which helped Tesla&nbsp;beat earnings&nbsp;estimates. There is always debate about what is the “normal” amount of credit sales and when will those sales dry up. Eventually, both the bulls and bears expect other auto makers to sell their own EVs, cutting off that source of revenue for Tesla.</p>\n<p>There is also the issue&nbsp;of Bitcoin. Tesla recognized a small gain on its Bitcoin holdings in the first quarter, but the cryptocurrency’s prices have fallen by roughly half since their April peak. That means there is a chance of a small loss. How investors react is anyone’s guess, but don’t expect Tesla to sell out of its Bitcoin position. Musk continues to indicate his company will transact in the cryptocurrency when Bitcoin mining uses more sustainable power.</p>\n<p>Investors will also want to know when Tesla’s new Germany plant and Austin, Texas facility will start delivering cars. The Austin plant will build Tesla’s&nbsp;Cybertruck. There will also likely be questions about advances in Tesla’s driver-assistance functions—the company recently started selling its driver-assistance software&nbsp;as a subscription—and how much money the company could make from its charging network. Musk tweeted this week Tesla would open its&nbsp;charging network&nbsp;to other EVs down the road.</p>\n<p>Those topics and more should be discussed on the earnings&nbsp;conference call&nbsp;scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET on Monday. Year to date, Tesla stock is down roughly 9%, trailing behind comparable 17% and 15% respective gains of the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;and&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average.Still, Tesla shares have had a strong run, up about 112% over the past 12 months.</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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 Reports Earnings Today.

Get ready for a very complicated report.\nThe EV pioneer will report after the close of trading on Monday, July 26. Wall Street is looking for Tesla (ticker: TSLA) to report about 94 cents in per-share earnings from $11.5 billion in sales, according to FactSet. Beating analyst estimates is important, almost required, for any stock to remain stable in post-earnings trading. That’s true for Tesla as well.\nThere will be a lot of moving parts, however, even more than usual for the world’s most valuable car company and its iconoclast CEO Elon Musk.\nFactors that will contribute to bottom-line earnings include the global semiconductor shortage,vehicle pricing, vehicle gross profit margins, and the level of profitability in Tesla’s battery storage business. In the end, however, investors will want to see a record in operating profits—no matter how it happens. That’s what could break shares out of their recent range.\n\nTesla reported more than $800 million in operating profits in the 2020 third quarter, and the stock more than doubled to around $860 in the three-month span that followed. But since operating profit growth largely paused in the subsequent quarters, shares have traded down from roughly $860 to around $640 recently. Profit stagnation has meant stock stagnation, too.\nThe good news for Tesla bulls is Wall Street is projecting a fresh record: Operating profit is expected to be $835 million for the second quarter, driven by strong deliveries. The 2021 second quarter marked the first time Tesla delivered more than 200,000 vehicles in a single quarter.\nAfter earnings are digested, there should be endless arguments among bulls and bears about the quality of earnings. For instance, one way Tesla generates sales is by selling regulatory credits—which it earns by producing more than its fair share of electric vehicles. The company generated $518 million in first-quarter credit sales, which helped Tesla beat earnings estimates. There is always debate about what is the “normal” amount of credit sales and when will those sales dry up. Eventually, both the bulls and bears expect other auto makers to sell their own EVs, cutting off that source of revenue for Tesla.\nThere is also the issue of Bitcoin. Tesla recognized a small gain on its Bitcoin holdings in the first quarter, but the cryptocurrency’s prices have fallen by roughly half since their April peak. That means there is a chance of a small loss. How investors react is anyone’s guess, but don’t expect Tesla to sell out of its Bitcoin position. Musk continues to indicate his company will transact in the cryptocurrency when Bitcoin mining uses more sustainable power.\nInvestors will also want to know when Tesla’s new Germany plant and Austin, Texas facility will start delivering cars. The Austin plant will build Tesla’s Cybertruck. There will also likely be questions about advances in Tesla’s driver-assistance functions—the company recently started selling its driver-assistance software as a subscription—and how much money the company could make from its charging network. Musk tweeted this week Tesla would open its charging network to other EVs down the road.\nThose topics and more should be discussed on the earnings conference call scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET on Monday. Year to date, Tesla stock is down roughly 9%, trailing behind comparable 17% and 15% respective gains of the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.Still, Tesla shares have had a strong run, up about 112% over the past 12 months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":31,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176497156,"gmtCreate":1626911394275,"gmtModify":1703480295628,"author":{"id":"3582340692890078","authorId":"3582340692890078","authorIdStr":"3582340692890078","name":"henry0leu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130d0c8cbc685bc99012d9c4782e4cff","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582340692890078"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/176497156","repostId":"2153477496","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153477496","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1626899252,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153477496?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-22 04:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends higher, powered by strong earnings, economic cheer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153477496","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK, July 21 (Reuters) - Wall Street stocks posted their second straight daily gain on Wednesda","content":"<p>NEW YORK, July 21 (Reuters) - Wall Street stocks posted their second straight daily gain on Wednesday, with robust corporate earnings and renewed optimism about the U.S. economic recovery fueling a risk-on rally.</p>\n<p>All three major U.S. stock indexes added to their previous session's advance, placing all three within 1% of their all-time closing highs.</p>\n<p>Economically sensitive smallcaps , semiconductors&nbsp;and financials&nbsp;outperformed the broader market.</p>\n<p>\"It’s a seesaw going on between great earnings and a recovering market and concerns over whether the economy is going to slow down because of the (COVID-19) Delta variant,\" said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia. \"But we’re seeing strong earnings with generally positive guidance, and the feeling that (the Delta variant) can be managed.\"</p>\n<p>A rebound in travel helped fuel United Airlines'&nbsp;revenue beat, boosting its stock by 3.8%.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 1500 Airlines index&nbsp;gained 3.3%, while the S&amp;P 1500 Hotels, Restaurant and Leisure index advanced 2.9%.</p>\n<p>\"Earlier in the week those stocks suffered because of renewed fears that travel will slow down and all related industries will suffer, but those fears have gone away,\" Tuz added. \"Demand is continuing as expected, I don’t think the Delta fear is causing people to change their plans.\"</p>\n<p>Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields continued their bounce from five-month lows following a weak 20-year bond auction, which benefited rate-sensitive banks.</p>\n<p>Wrangling in Washington over the passage of a bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure package progressed as Senate Democrats moved toward a planned procedural vote despite Republican appeals for a delay.</p>\n<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 286.01 points, or 0.83%, to 34,798, the S&amp;P 500 gained 35.63 points, or 0.82%, to 4,358.69 and the Nasdaq Composite added 133.08 points, or 0.92%, to 14,631.95.</p>\n<p>Of the 11 major sectors in the S&amp;P 500, energy stocks</p>\n<p>were the big winners, jumping 3.5% with the help of surging crude prices .</p>\n<p>Second-quarter reporting season has shifted into overdrive, with 73 of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 having posted results.

AMZN has appreciated 7.35%, while AAPL is up 5.55% since the beginning of the year. Compared to the SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) (16.22%), Microsoft (MSFT) (25.71%), Facebook (FB) (31.10%), and Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL) (41.33%), shares of AMZN and AAPL are being left behind. AMZN and AAPL have barely contributed to the major indexes reaching all-time highs in 2021, and nothing they seem to do impresses the investment community. With the story of growth spilling over into 2021 and the latest short squeeze, sticking it to the hedge fund craze, I believe AMZN and AAPL's accomplishments are being overlooked.</p>\n<p>Sometimes opportunities hide in plain sight. Access to information in 2021 is a 24/7 business as the headlines never stop. With so much focus on GameStop (GME), AMC Entertainment (AMC), and SPACs, it's not surprising that investors overlook what is occurring with AMZN and AAPL. These companies are tech royalty and unleashed huge earnings beats in Q1 of 2021 while delivering record-breaking year-end results for 2020, yet the market shrugged it off. Over the years, big tech has delivered lucrative returns for shareholders, and I believe these investments still offer significant upside in the future. The music isn't stopping, AMZN and AAPL won't be left without a chair, and they will still be dominant forces for years to come. Going into Q2 earnings at the end of July, I believe picking up shares of AMZN or AAPL is an excellent play as we turn the quarter to the second half of 2021 and approach the holiday season.</p>\n<p>(Source: Seeking Alpha)</p>\n<p><b>Amazon continues to deliver even if its share price has traded sideways in 2021</b></p>\n<p>Over the years, AMZN's runway of growth has correlated to gigantic returns for shareholders. Over the past10 years, AMZN has increased by 1,582.31% while generating 389.72% in gains for the past five years. Compared to the rest of big tech and the S&amp;P 500 Index, AMZN has underperformed, generating single-digit gains in 2021 while the S&amp;P has exceeded 16% in appreciation. The market hasn't gotten the memo that AMZN's runway for growth isn't decreasing, and AMZN has become a true profit center adding to the bottom line and shareholder equity. On2/2/21, we learned that AMZN crossed the $100 billion revenue mark in Q4 2020 for the first time as they delivered $125.55 billion in revenue, an increase of 43.6% YoY, beating estimates by $5.82 billion. In Q4 2020, AMZN obliterated EPS estimates by $6.96 as they generated $14.09 in EPS. AMZN alsogenerated$6.87 billion in operating income and $31 billion in free cash flow (FCF) for 2020, increasing 20% YoY. AMZNfollowed upwith an explosive Q1 to start 2021, keeping their revenue above the $100 billion mark at $108.52 billion, increasing 43.7% YoY while beating estimates by $3.89 billion. Just like a great music album, the hits kept coming as AMZN generated $15.79 of EPS, operating cash flow increased to $67.2 billion, up 69% in the trailing twelve months (TTM). Its FCF increased to $26.4 billion in the TTM compared to $24.3 billion for the TTM that ended on 3/31/20.</p>\n<p>When I read throughAMZN's previous two quarters, I am baffled how their shares are trailing the S&amp;P, at the very least. How the market isn't getting excited about this growth is ridiculous. Going back to Q1 2017, AMZN has increased its overall Q1 revenue by $72.80 billion, or 203.85%. Q1 sets the stage for the year, and AMZN is already starting off exceeding the $100 billion revenue mark. If AMZN was to see zero growth in Q2, Q3, and Q4, which is extremely unlikely, they would finish 2021 with $434.07 billion in revenue, an increase of 12.44% or $48.01 billion. Looking at AMZN's previous history, its average quarterly growth rate YoY in Q2, Q3, and Q4 exceeded 28%. If AMZN delivers revenue in the next three quarters 50% less than their average growth rates, it will finish 2021 with $465.96 billion in revenue. If their averages hold up, AMZN will come dangerously close to breaching $500 billion with $498.30 billion in revenue for 2021. AMZN generated $88.9 billion in revenue for Q2 of 2020, and it expects to deliver $110-$116 billion in revenue for Q2 of 2021. If AMZN comes in at $110 billion, that will increase by $21.1 billion (23.73%) YoY. AMZN will likely generate over $450 billion revenue for 2021 as on the low-end, it will have generated $208.52 billion for the first half of 2021 once Q2 earnings are released.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0238d2575d6cb248ff8e803ab0d6a49\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Amazon)</p>\n<p>AMZN isn't just spending money for the sake of generating increased amounts of revenue; it's flowing to the bottom line. Since 2017, including the TTM for 2021, AMZN has increased its net income by $24.53 billion or 1,034.67%. The net income generated in Q1 2021 ($8.11 billion) is where things get interesting. For the entire year of 2020, AMZN generated $26.90 billion in net income. In Q1 of 2021, AMZN's net income didn't decrease from Q4 2020, and they generated $8.11 billion in net income, which was 30.13% of the total net income generated in 2020. AMZN is generating profits hand over fist and they are increasing QoQ. AMZN's growth engine is alive and well, as it is on track to generate almost all of 2020's net income in the first nine months of 2021, setting the stage for another record along with revenue generated. The market is overlooking these growth metrics, which is creating an opportunity for investors.</p>\n<p>(Source: Amazon)</p>\n<p>As AMZN crushes earnings estimates and generates increased revenue and profits, I am not sure if people realize what's happening to AMZN's balance sheet. In the past three fiscal years of 2018, 2019, and 2020, AMZN's total equity has increased by $65.7 billion (237.09%) from $27.71 billion to $93.40 billion. In Q1 2021, total equity increased by $9.92 billion (10.62%) as it exceeded $103 billion. AMZN is firing on all cylinders, and its newfound revenue is paving the way for increased profits and total equity in AMZN. Why the market isn't celebrating this is perplexing, but eventually, the tide will turn, and I think Amazon will be right up there with Google and Facebook in 2021 returns.</p>\n<p><b>Apple continues to establish new records and push the envelope of what companies can achieve</b></p>\n<p>Love them or hate them, Apple is an iconic American company with a cult-like following. AAPL users are some of the most loyal customers and often purchase several items throughout its ecosystem. It's hard to determine which is America's best company, but if we're going by market cap, AAPL wears the crown. Apple may not generate the most revenue as Amazon and Walmart(NYSE:WMT)exceed the revenue AAPL produces annually. AAPL may not have the best net income conversion ratio as MSFT and FB both have better ratios. AAPL builds products and develops services that engage their following and become integral to their everyday lives. This has allowed AAPL to generate the largest amount of profits of any company I know of. In 2020, AAPL generated $57.41 billion in net income, which was $43.9 billion more than WMT, yet WMT produced $559.15 billion in revenue from its operations. AAPL's $57.41 billion in net income was also $28.26 billion larger than FB, while FB converted the largest amount of net income from its revenue at a rate of 33.9% from the big tech conglomerates.</p>\n<p>The only thing different about 2021 is AAPL's share price isn't appreciating. Since I thought AMZN was bad, I guess AAPL's price action is horrible. Over the past ten years,AAPLhas appreciated by 1,042.46% and 473.05% over the past five years. AAPL has made their shareholders very happy, from stock splits to buybacks, dividends, and price appreciation, but many have asked is the magic gone? I have written several articles on AAPL, and the number of negative comments about AAPL and its management team is mind-blowing. So who's correct, the bears or the bulls? Are AAPL's best days behind them, or are they just getting started? Only time will tell, but the way I interpret the data indicates AAPL's best days could be ahead of them.</p>\n<p>I believe investors have been given a gift as shares of AAPL have been unable to break out and form its next leg upward. Is AAPL too expensive, under $140? I don't believe so. The facts are AAPL's growth isn't stopping, and the 2021 fiscal year has been a home run even if the market is treating it like it just hit singles in Q1 and Q2. In the fiscal year 2020, which ends in September for AAPL, they generated $274.52 billion in revenue, $57.41 billion in net income, and delivered $3.31 in EPS. 2020 was a record year for AAPL in revenue and EPS while a close second in net income.</p>\n<p>So what's going wrong in 2021, and why is AAPL treading water? Nothing is wrong as AAPL is firing on all cylinders, and it's unexplainable why shares have been left of 2021's market rally.In Q1 of the fiscal year 2021, AAPL posted record-breaking revenue with $111.4 billion, which increased 21% YoY, EPS of $1.68, up 36% YoY, and net income of $28.76 billion. InQ2 of the fiscal year 2021, AAPL generated $89.6 billion in revenue, EPS of $1.40, and net income of $23.63 billion. For the first six months of 2021, AAPL has delivered an increase of $44.29 billion (35.7%) in total revenue, $18.9 billion (56.44%) in net income, and $1.2 (62.83%) in EPS from its first six months of 2020. Putting that in perspective, AAPL has already delivered 61.33% of the total revenue, 91.25% of the total net income, and 93.96% of EPS in the first six months of operations compared to what was generated throughout the entire 2020 fiscal year. How hasn't this been in the headlines, and why are people consumed with GME, AMC, and straight-up speculation? What's Mr. Market going to do when AAPL delivers Q3 earnings on 7/29/21 (estimated), and they overwhelmingly exceed the amount of net income and EPS generated in 2020 in just nine months? If people want growth, look at AAPL's numbers. They're not producing these increases off of $1 billion revenue and $100 million net income. It's shocking but fine with me as I add shares before AAPL's next leg up.</p>\n<p>(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Apple)</p>\n<p><b>As a shareholder of Amazon and Apple, this is what I wish they would do</b></p>\n<p>I am interested to see if the Seeking Alpha community agrees with me. I haven't been very vocal about this, but there are two things I wish AMZN and AAPL would do. I want AMZN to do a stock split. Yes, I understand that ten shares of a $1,000 stock and 100 shares of a $100 stock is the same amount of equity in a company. I also understand that if the $1,000 stock goes to $1,500 and the $100 stock goes to $150, both are a 50% increase, and an investor would generate the same return as both investments would be worth $15,000. I want AMZN to do a significant stock split so more people could afford to own shares of AMZN. If AMZN does a 40 for 1 split, the company still has the same valuation but shares now become affordable for many investors. A stock split doesn't matter for some shareholders, and they would reference what the price of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)shares have done, and Warren Buffett has never paid a dividend or split the shares. As AMZN has become one of the most iconic companies in America, I think it would be great if more investors could invest directly into AMZN without buying either fractional shares or an ETF where AMZN is one of the largest holdings. If AMZN did a large split, what would that do for the volume and price action of the stock? AAPL hasn't been shy about making its shares affordable for most investors, and I think AMZN should follow suit.</p>\n<p>I am moving on to AAPL, enough with the vast capital allocation to buybacks. AAPL's return of capital is second to none, and not a single company is as shareholder-friendly as AAPL. Since the fiscal year 2012, AAPL has returned $550 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. I read many earnings reports, and there isn't a single company I know of that comes relatively close to these numbers. In Q2, the Board of Directors at AAPL authorized an increase of $90 billion to the existingshare repurchase program. I get it; AAPL wants to maintain a net-zero cash position and reward shareholders. AAPL generates so much free cash flow, operating income, and net income that it can fund their growth and any business endeavors they would like to embark on while still rewarding shareholders.</p>\n<p>So what would I love to see AAPL do? I think it would be more beneficial to redirect a significant portion of capital allocated to buybacks to its dividend. In Q1 and Q2 of 2021, AAPL allocated $43 billion to buybacks and $7 billion to its dividend.AAPL's dividendis a whopping $0.88 per share, which is a 0.64% yield. AAPL's payout ratio is 17.06%, and can certainly afford to increase the dividend. In 2021's fiscal year, AAPL has paid $0.44 per share of its annual dividend, costing them $7 billion. AAPL has given back $50 billion of capital in 2021 to shareholders, $43 billion in buybacks, and $7 billion in dividends. As a shareholder, I would be so much happier if $28 billion was allocated to the dividend and $22 billion to buybacks over the first six months of the fiscal year 2021. Think about it; that would mean AAPL would have paid its shareholders $1.76 per share instead of $0.44. This would make the annual dividend $3.52 instead of $0.88. A dividend of $3.52 per share would put AAPL at a forward yield of roughly 2.57%.</p>\n<p>AAPL has more than enough firepower to make this happen. AAPL could even go to 3% without blinking. How much more enticing of an investment would AAPL be with a 3% dividend? I think putting a greater focus on the dividend would benefit existing shareholders more than focusing on buybacks. I am not saying buybacks are bad by any means, but I think it's time for AAPL to allocate more capital to its dividend. I am interested to know if you agree, so please comment below and let me know.</p>\n<p><b>I believe classifying Amazon or Apple as a monopoly is incorrect, and as a shareholder, I am not worried about either company being broken up</b></p>\n<p>I am not a lawyer, and I didn't go to law school, so this isn't legal advice. It's strictly my opinion.</p>\n<p>First, what is a monopoly? A company will be considered a monopoly if there is an absence of competition in the marketplace, leading to increased costs for the consumer for inferior products and services. For a company to be classified as a monopoly, it would need to have total or near-total control of a market while its product offerings dominate a sector or industry. When a company has become a monopoly, it can use its position to create unfair business advantages by fixing prices, creating artificial scarcities causing inflated prices, and stifle competition by eliminating new competitors and creating a market where consumers don't have a choice of products. When a company becomes a monopoly, the market it operates in becomes inefficient, unfair, and unequal to the consumers and other businesses. Now by that description of a monopoly, does AMZN or AAPL fit that description?</p>\n<p>How is AMZN a monopoly? In the fiscal year of2020, AMZNgenerated $386.06 billion in revenue. $236.28 billion or 61% came from North America, excluding revenue from AWS. AMZN's success in 2020 didn't stop the following companies from generating large amounts of revenue as well:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Walmart(WMT) $559.15 billion</li>\n <li>Costco(COST) $166.76 billion</li>\n <li>Walgreens(WBA) $139.54 billion</li>\n <li>The Kroger Co.(KR) $132.5 billion</li>\n <li>The Home Depot(HD) $132.11 billion</li>\n <li>Target(TGT) $92.4 billion</li>\n <li>Lowe's Companies(LOW) $89.6 billion</li>\n <li>Dollar General(DG) $33.75 billion</li>\n <li>Dollar Tree(DLTR) $25.51 billion</li>\n <li>Macy's(M) $17.35 billion</li>\n <li>Etc.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The National Retail Foundation publishes a list of the top100 retailersin the U.S. on an annual basis. The 2020 list equaled $3.3 trillion in combined revenue. WMT came in at the top spot with $523.96 billion, equivalent to 16.39% of the top 100's combined revenue. AMZN was the runner-up in second place with $250.5 billion of revenue, accounting for 7.8% of the entire top 100. Going strictly by the numbers, I am not seeing how AMZN could be considered a monopoly as there are many competitors, and AMZN does not have a controlling interest in the sector.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6ae96a0668d39c1279e165b229bbc33\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"488\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>(Source:AMZN)</p>\n<p>Could you consider AMZN a monopoly in shipping? I would say no, considering the United States Post Office, FedEx (FDX), UPS (UPS), and XPO Logistics (XPO) are all independent organizations that have not been put out of business by AMZN. In addition, companies such as WMT and TGT have enhanced their internal logistics to move products around the country quicker.</p>\n<p>How about thecloud? Is AMZN a monopoly there? Going by the classification of a monopoly, I would have to say no; AMZN does not have a monopoly on cloud services. While they have the largest position with almost 1/3rd of the revenue, cloud infrastructure spending has increased QoQ sequentially since Q1 2018, and AMZN's market share has trended sideways. While AMZN's AWS revenue increases, their market share isn't, which means new business is also finding its way to companies such as MSFT, GOOGL, and Alibaba (BABA). Competition, provider options, and competitive pricing all occur in the cloud space as AMZN faces extensive competition from other tech giants with deep financial resources.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5bc355a07746c16ba3197b19a1a6b6c4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"434\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>(Source: Synergy Research Group)</p>\n<p>(Source: Canalys)</p>\n<p>What about AAPL? Could they be classified as a monopoly? This is a crazier theory than AMZN. There are three main hardware categories which include desktop, mobile, and tablets, where AAPL operates. AAPL has a 15.57% market share behind MSFT's 72.97% on a global stage fordesktop operating systems. Looking at theU.S.alone, AAPL has a 27.82% market share vs. 61.48% from MSFT. This stat will shock people as AAPL has 26.35% of theglobal mobile operating system market sharewith iOS through its phones while Android has more than 2/3rds with 72.83%. In theU.S.alone, AAPL does have 57.68% of the market share in mobile operating systems, followed by 42% from Android. Intablets, AAPL has 56.39% of the market compared to Androids 43.52% on a global scale, and the metrics are similar in theU.Sas AAPL has 57.74% of the market while Android has 42.17%.</p>\n<p>Apple, Google, and Microsoft are global companies, and on a combined scale, 41.5% of theglobal operating systemsfall under Android, 30.57% with Microsoft, and 22.61% with Apple. In theU.S.alone, as its own segment, AAPL has 43.3% of the market while MSFT has 29.44% and GOOGL has 21.84%. Is this a monopoly? I wouldn't classify it as one. AAPL isn't price-fixing, and they certainly don't have an unfair advantage. Consumers have choices in the product offerings available to them, and there is healthy competition among AAPL, MSFT, and GOOGL. The consumer market is speaking loudly that their preference is AAPL in some categories and not others. If AAPL was to hike up their prices by 25% or 50%, consumers would still have other options and could choose to leave the AAPL environment. AAPL has stayed competitive in its pricing methodology over the years, and I can't see how they could be considered a monopoly.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4100457cfb03a212a0a0e0750003d052\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"516\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>(Source: StatCounter)</p>\n<p>I am sick and tired of hearing the words antitrust, monopoly, monopolistic, Amazon, and Apple used in the same sentences. Newsflash, Amazon and Apple are not lawmaking bodies and didn't write a single law in the United States. The United States government defined, created, and established the rules. Amazon and Apple hired specialists in the respective fields of accounting and law to navigate and operate within the established rules. If Amazon or Apple committed any wrongdoing, there are countermeasures as the IRS and SEC would investigate and bring charges forward. I am not a lawyer, but I can't see how anyone could prove AMZN or AAPL is a monopoly. As a shareholder, I am not worried about AAPL or AMZN being broken up.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>The first six months are over for 2021, and earnings season is a couple of weeks away. I believe AMZN and AAPL present golden opportunities as they are underperforming the S&amp;P index and the other tech conglomerates, including GOOGL, FB, and MSFT. AMZN and AAPL are on track to deliver record years across many financial metrics, yet Mr. Market hasn't been excited. I believe too much emphasis has been placed on MEME stocks, while many headlines are written to generate clicks. AMZN is on track to generate more than $450 billion in revenue for 2021, increasing $63.94 billion (16.56%) while significantly enlarging its net income and shareholder equity. Without a shadow of a doubt, AAPL will exceed 2020's total net income and EPS once its Q3 numbers are posted, and Q4's results will leave people astonished. I think the narrative will change in the upcoming weeks, and shares of AAPL and AMZN will act like a coiled spring and break out to the upside.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Amazon And Apple Are Coiled Springs About To Explode To The Upside</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\">\nAmazon And Apple Are Coiled Springs About To Explode To The Upside\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-07 15:37 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437594-amazon-apple-coiled-springs-about-to-explode-to-upside><strong>seeking alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAmazon and Apple have been left out of 2021's market rally underperforming the S&P index and their other tech conglomerate peers.\nAn opportunity is being presented to investors as both Amazon...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437594-amazon-apple-coiled-springs-about-to-explode-to-upside\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMZN":"亚马逊","AAPL":"苹果","QNETCN":"纳斯达克中美互联网老虎指数","09086":"华夏纳指-U","03086":"华夏纳指"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437594-amazon-apple-coiled-springs-about-to-explode-to-upside","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1140589344","content_text":"Summary\n\nAmazon and Apple have been left out of 2021's market rally underperforming the S&P index and their other tech conglomerate peers.\nAn opportunity is being presented to investors as both Amazon and Apple are in the midst of record-breaking years from a financial standpoint.\nI am not worried about either Amazon or Apple being broken up as neither fit the premise of a monopoly.\nAs a shareholder, I would love to see Amazon do a stock split and Apple allocate more to its dividend than buybacks.\n\nWho would have thought that out of the big tech conglomerates, Amazon (AMZN) and Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)would be the worst investments for the first half of 2021? AMZN has appreciated 7.35%, while AAPL is up 5.55% since the beginning of the year. Compared to the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) (16.22%), Microsoft (MSFT) (25.71%), Facebook (FB) (31.10%), and Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL) (41.33%), shares of AMZN and AAPL are being left behind. AMZN and AAPL have barely contributed to the major indexes reaching all-time highs in 2021, and nothing they seem to do impresses the investment community. With the story of growth spilling over into 2021 and the latest short squeeze, sticking it to the hedge fund craze, I believe AMZN and AAPL's accomplishments are being overlooked.\nSometimes opportunities hide in plain sight. Access to information in 2021 is a 24/7 business as the headlines never stop. With so much focus on GameStop (GME), AMC Entertainment (AMC), and SPACs, it's not surprising that investors overlook what is occurring with AMZN and AAPL. These companies are tech royalty and unleashed huge earnings beats in Q1 of 2021 while delivering record-breaking year-end results for 2020, yet the market shrugged it off. Over the years, big tech has delivered lucrative returns for shareholders, and I believe these investments still offer significant upside in the future. The music isn't stopping, AMZN and AAPL won't be left without a chair, and they will still be dominant forces for years to come. Going into Q2 earnings at the end of July, I believe picking up shares of AMZN or AAPL is an excellent play as we turn the quarter to the second half of 2021 and approach the holiday season.\n(Source: Seeking Alpha)\nAmazon continues to deliver even if its share price has traded sideways in 2021\nOver the years, AMZN's runway of growth has correlated to gigantic returns for shareholders. Over the past10 years, AMZN has increased by 1,582.31% while generating 389.72% in gains for the past five years. Compared to the rest of big tech and the S&P 500 Index, AMZN has underperformed, generating single-digit gains in 2021 while the S&P has exceeded 16% in appreciation. The market hasn't gotten the memo that AMZN's runway for growth isn't decreasing, and AMZN has become a true profit center adding to the bottom line and shareholder equity. On2/2/21, we learned that AMZN crossed the $100 billion revenue mark in Q4 2020 for the first time as they delivered $125.55 billion in revenue, an increase of 43.6% YoY, beating estimates by $5.82 billion. In Q4 2020, AMZN obliterated EPS estimates by $6.96 as they generated $14.09 in EPS. AMZN alsogenerated$6.87 billion in operating income and $31 billion in free cash flow (FCF) for 2020, increasing 20% YoY. AMZNfollowed upwith an explosive Q1 to start 2021, keeping their revenue above the $100 billion mark at $108.52 billion, increasing 43.7% YoY while beating estimates by $3.89 billion. Just like a great music album, the hits kept coming as AMZN generated $15.79 of EPS, operating cash flow increased to $67.2 billion, up 69% in the trailing twelve months (TTM). Its FCF increased to $26.4 billion in the TTM compared to $24.3 billion for the TTM that ended on 3/31/20.\nWhen I read throughAMZN's previous two quarters, I am baffled how their shares are trailing the S&P, at the very least. How the market isn't getting excited about this growth is ridiculous. Going back to Q1 2017, AMZN has increased its overall Q1 revenue by $72.80 billion, or 203.85%. Q1 sets the stage for the year, and AMZN is already starting off exceeding the $100 billion revenue mark. If AMZN was to see zero growth in Q2, Q3, and Q4, which is extremely unlikely, they would finish 2021 with $434.07 billion in revenue, an increase of 12.44% or $48.01 billion. Looking at AMZN's previous history, its average quarterly growth rate YoY in Q2, Q3, and Q4 exceeded 28%. If AMZN delivers revenue in the next three quarters 50% less than their average growth rates, it will finish 2021 with $465.96 billion in revenue. If their averages hold up, AMZN will come dangerously close to breaching $500 billion with $498.30 billion in revenue for 2021. AMZN generated $88.9 billion in revenue for Q2 of 2020, and it expects to deliver $110-$116 billion in revenue for Q2 of 2021. If AMZN comes in at $110 billion, that will increase by $21.1 billion (23.73%) YoY. AMZN will likely generate over $450 billion revenue for 2021 as on the low-end, it will have generated $208.52 billion for the first half of 2021 once Q2 earnings are released.\n\n(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Amazon)\nAMZN isn't just spending money for the sake of generating increased amounts of revenue; it's flowing to the bottom line. Since 2017, including the TTM for 2021, AMZN has increased its net income by $24.53 billion or 1,034.67%. The net income generated in Q1 2021 ($8.11 billion) is where things get interesting. For the entire year of 2020, AMZN generated $26.90 billion in net income. In Q1 of 2021, AMZN's net income didn't decrease from Q4 2020, and they generated $8.11 billion in net income, which was 30.13% of the total net income generated in 2020. AMZN is generating profits hand over fist and they are increasing QoQ. AMZN's growth engine is alive and well, as it is on track to generate almost all of 2020's net income in the first nine months of 2021, setting the stage for another record along with revenue generated. The market is overlooking these growth metrics, which is creating an opportunity for investors.\n(Source: Amazon)\nAs AMZN crushes earnings estimates and generates increased revenue and profits, I am not sure if people realize what's happening to AMZN's balance sheet. In the past three fiscal years of 2018, 2019, and 2020, AMZN's total equity has increased by $65.7 billion (237.09%) from $27.71 billion to $93.40 billion. In Q1 2021, total equity increased by $9.92 billion (10.62%) as it exceeded $103 billion. AMZN is firing on all cylinders, and its newfound revenue is paving the way for increased profits and total equity in AMZN. Why the market isn't celebrating this is perplexing, but eventually, the tide will turn, and I think Amazon will be right up there with Google and Facebook in 2021 returns.\nApple continues to establish new records and push the envelope of what companies can achieve\nLove them or hate them, Apple is an iconic American company with a cult-like following. AAPL users are some of the most loyal customers and often purchase several items throughout its ecosystem. It's hard to determine which is America's best company, but if we're going by market cap, AAPL wears the crown. Apple may not generate the most revenue as Amazon and Walmart(NYSE:WMT)exceed the revenue AAPL produces annually. AAPL may not have the best net income conversion ratio as MSFT and FB both have better ratios. AAPL builds products and develops services that engage their following and become integral to their everyday lives. This has allowed AAPL to generate the largest amount of profits of any company I know of. In 2020, AAPL generated $57.41 billion in net income, which was $43.9 billion more than WMT, yet WMT produced $559.15 billion in revenue from its operations. AAPL's $57.41 billion in net income was also $28.26 billion larger than FB, while FB converted the largest amount of net income from its revenue at a rate of 33.9% from the big tech conglomerates.\nThe only thing different about 2021 is AAPL's share price isn't appreciating. Since I thought AMZN was bad, I guess AAPL's price action is horrible. Over the past ten years,AAPLhas appreciated by 1,042.46% and 473.05% over the past five years. AAPL has made their shareholders very happy, from stock splits to buybacks, dividends, and price appreciation, but many have asked is the magic gone? I have written several articles on AAPL, and the number of negative comments about AAPL and its management team is mind-blowing. So who's correct, the bears or the bulls? Are AAPL's best days behind them, or are they just getting started? Only time will tell, but the way I interpret the data indicates AAPL's best days could be ahead of them.\nI believe investors have been given a gift as shares of AAPL have been unable to break out and form its next leg upward. Is AAPL too expensive, under $140? I don't believe so. The facts are AAPL's growth isn't stopping, and the 2021 fiscal year has been a home run even if the market is treating it like it just hit singles in Q1 and Q2. In the fiscal year 2020, which ends in September for AAPL, they generated $274.52 billion in revenue, $57.41 billion in net income, and delivered $3.31 in EPS. 2020 was a record year for AAPL in revenue and EPS while a close second in net income.\nSo what's going wrong in 2021, and why is AAPL treading water? Nothing is wrong as AAPL is firing on all cylinders, and it's unexplainable why shares have been left of 2021's market rally.In Q1 of the fiscal year 2021, AAPL posted record-breaking revenue with $111.4 billion, which increased 21% YoY, EPS of $1.68, up 36% YoY, and net income of $28.76 billion. InQ2 of the fiscal year 2021, AAPL generated $89.6 billion in revenue, EPS of $1.40, and net income of $23.63 billion. For the first six months of 2021, AAPL has delivered an increase of $44.29 billion (35.7%) in total revenue, $18.9 billion (56.44%) in net income, and $1.2 (62.83%) in EPS from its first six months of 2020. Putting that in perspective, AAPL has already delivered 61.33% of the total revenue, 91.25% of the total net income, and 93.96% of EPS in the first six months of operations compared to what was generated throughout the entire 2020 fiscal year. How hasn't this been in the headlines, and why are people consumed with GME, AMC, and straight-up speculation? What's Mr. Market going to do when AAPL delivers Q3 earnings on 7/29/21 (estimated), and they overwhelmingly exceed the amount of net income and EPS generated in 2020 in just nine months? If people want growth, look at AAPL's numbers. They're not producing these increases off of $1 billion revenue and $100 million net income. It's shocking but fine with me as I add shares before AAPL's next leg up.\n(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Apple)\nAs a shareholder of Amazon and Apple, this is what I wish they would do\nI am interested to see if the Seeking Alpha community agrees with me. I haven't been very vocal about this, but there are two things I wish AMZN and AAPL would do. I want AMZN to do a stock split. Yes, I understand that ten shares of a $1,000 stock and 100 shares of a $100 stock is the same amount of equity in a company. I also understand that if the $1,000 stock goes to $1,500 and the $100 stock goes to $150, both are a 50% increase, and an investor would generate the same return as both investments would be worth $15,000. I want AMZN to do a significant stock split so more people could afford to own shares of AMZN. If AMZN does a 40 for 1 split, the company still has the same valuation but shares now become affordable for many investors. A stock split doesn't matter for some shareholders, and they would reference what the price of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B)shares have done, and Warren Buffett has never paid a dividend or split the shares. As AMZN has become one of the most iconic companies in America, I think it would be great if more investors could invest directly into AMZN without buying either fractional shares or an ETF where AMZN is one of the largest holdings. If AMZN did a large split, what would that do for the volume and price action of the stock? AAPL hasn't been shy about making its shares affordable for most investors, and I think AMZN should follow suit.\nI am moving on to AAPL, enough with the vast capital allocation to buybacks. AAPL's return of capital is second to none, and not a single company is as shareholder-friendly as AAPL. Since the fiscal year 2012, AAPL has returned $550 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. I read many earnings reports, and there isn't a single company I know of that comes relatively close to these numbers. In Q2, the Board of Directors at AAPL authorized an increase of $90 billion to the existingshare repurchase program. I get it; AAPL wants to maintain a net-zero cash position and reward shareholders. AAPL generates so much free cash flow, operating income, and net income that it can fund their growth and any business endeavors they would like to embark on while still rewarding shareholders.\nSo what would I love to see AAPL do? I think it would be more beneficial to redirect a significant portion of capital allocated to buybacks to its dividend. In Q1 and Q2 of 2021, AAPL allocated $43 billion to buybacks and $7 billion to its dividend.AAPL's dividendis a whopping $0.88 per share, which is a 0.64% yield. AAPL's payout ratio is 17.06%, and can certainly afford to increase the dividend. In 2021's fiscal year, AAPL has paid $0.44 per share of its annual dividend, costing them $7 billion. AAPL has given back $50 billion of capital in 2021 to shareholders, $43 billion in buybacks, and $7 billion in dividends. As a shareholder, I would be so much happier if $28 billion was allocated to the dividend and $22 billion to buybacks over the first six months of the fiscal year 2021. Think about it; that would mean AAPL would have paid its shareholders $1.76 per share instead of $0.44. This would make the annual dividend $3.52 instead of $0.88. A dividend of $3.52 per share would put AAPL at a forward yield of roughly 2.57%.\nAAPL has more than enough firepower to make this happen. AAPL could even go to 3% without blinking. How much more enticing of an investment would AAPL be with a 3% dividend? I think putting a greater focus on the dividend would benefit existing shareholders more than focusing on buybacks. I am not saying buybacks are bad by any means, but I think it's time for AAPL to allocate more capital to its dividend. I am interested to know if you agree, so please comment below and let me know.\nI believe classifying Amazon or Apple as a monopoly is incorrect, and as a shareholder, I am not worried about either company being broken up\nI am not a lawyer, and I didn't go to law school, so this isn't legal advice. It's strictly my opinion.\nFirst, what is a monopoly? A company will be considered a monopoly if there is an absence of competition in the marketplace, leading to increased costs for the consumer for inferior products and services. For a company to be classified as a monopoly, it would need to have total or near-total control of a market while its product offerings dominate a sector or industry. When a company has become a monopoly, it can use its position to create unfair business advantages by fixing prices, creating artificial scarcities causing inflated prices, and stifle competition by eliminating new competitors and creating a market where consumers don't have a choice of products. When a company becomes a monopoly, the market it operates in becomes inefficient, unfair, and unequal to the consumers and other businesses. Now by that description of a monopoly, does AMZN or AAPL fit that description?\nHow is AMZN a monopoly? In the fiscal year of2020, AMZNgenerated $386.06 billion in revenue. $236.28 billion or 61% came from North America, excluding revenue from AWS. AMZN's success in 2020 didn't stop the following companies from generating large amounts of revenue as well:\n\nWalmart(WMT) $559.15 billion\nCostco(COST) $166.76 billion\nWalgreens(WBA) $139.54 billion\nThe Kroger Co.(KR) $132.5 billion\nThe Home Depot(HD) $132.11 billion\nTarget(TGT) $92.4 billion\nLowe's Companies(LOW) $89.6 billion\nDollar General(DG) $33.75 billion\nDollar Tree(DLTR) $25.51 billion\nMacy's(M) $17.35 billion\nEtc.\n\nThe National Retail Foundation publishes a list of the top100 retailersin the U.S. on an annual basis. The 2020 list equaled $3.3 trillion in combined revenue. WMT came in at the top spot with $523.96 billion, equivalent to 16.39% of the top 100's combined revenue. AMZN was the runner-up in second place with $250.5 billion of revenue, accounting for 7.8% of the entire top 100. Going strictly by the numbers, I am not seeing how AMZN could be considered a monopoly as there are many competitors, and AMZN does not have a controlling interest in the sector.\n\n(Source:AMZN)\nCould you consider AMZN a monopoly in shipping? I would say no, considering the United States Post Office, FedEx (FDX), UPS (UPS), and XPO Logistics (XPO) are all independent organizations that have not been put out of business by AMZN. In addition, companies such as WMT and TGT have enhanced their internal logistics to move products around the country quicker.\nHow about thecloud? Is AMZN a monopoly there? Going by the classification of a monopoly, I would have to say no; AMZN does not have a monopoly on cloud services. While they have the largest position with almost 1/3rd of the revenue, cloud infrastructure spending has increased QoQ sequentially since Q1 2018, and AMZN's market share has trended sideways. While AMZN's AWS revenue increases, their market share isn't, which means new business is also finding its way to companies such as MSFT, GOOGL, and Alibaba (BABA). Competition, provider options, and competitive pricing all occur in the cloud space as AMZN faces extensive competition from other tech giants with deep financial resources.\n\n(Source: Synergy Research Group)\n(Source: Canalys)\nWhat about AAPL? Could they be classified as a monopoly? This is a crazier theory than AMZN. There are three main hardware categories which include desktop, mobile, and tablets, where AAPL operates. AAPL has a 15.57% market share behind MSFT's 72.97% on a global stage fordesktop operating systems. Looking at theU.S.alone, AAPL has a 27.82% market share vs. 61.48% from MSFT. This stat will shock people as AAPL has 26.35% of theglobal mobile operating system market sharewith iOS through its phones while Android has more than 2/3rds with 72.83%. In theU.S.alone, AAPL does have 57.68% of the market share in mobile operating systems, followed by 42% from Android. Intablets, AAPL has 56.39% of the market compared to Androids 43.52% on a global scale, and the metrics are similar in theU.Sas AAPL has 57.74% of the market while Android has 42.17%.\nApple, Google, and Microsoft are global companies, and on a combined scale, 41.5% of theglobal operating systemsfall under Android, 30.57% with Microsoft, and 22.61% with Apple. In theU.S.alone, as its own segment, AAPL has 43.3% of the market while MSFT has 29.44% and GOOGL has 21.84%. Is this a monopoly? I wouldn't classify it as one. AAPL isn't price-fixing, and they certainly don't have an unfair advantage. Consumers have choices in the product offerings available to them, and there is healthy competition among AAPL, MSFT, and GOOGL. The consumer market is speaking loudly that their preference is AAPL in some categories and not others. If AAPL was to hike up their prices by 25% or 50%, consumers would still have other options and could choose to leave the AAPL environment. AAPL has stayed competitive in its pricing methodology over the years, and I can't see how they could be considered a monopoly.\n\n(Source: StatCounter)\nI am sick and tired of hearing the words antitrust, monopoly, monopolistic, Amazon, and Apple used in the same sentences. Newsflash, Amazon and Apple are not lawmaking bodies and didn't write a single law in the United States. The United States government defined, created, and established the rules. Amazon and Apple hired specialists in the respective fields of accounting and law to navigate and operate within the established rules. If Amazon or Apple committed any wrongdoing, there are countermeasures as the IRS and SEC would investigate and bring charges forward. I am not a lawyer, but I can't see how anyone could prove AMZN or AAPL is a monopoly. As a shareholder, I am not worried about AAPL or AMZN being broken up.\nConclusion\nThe first six months are over for 2021, and earnings season is a couple of weeks away. I believe AMZN and AAPL present golden opportunities as they are underperforming the S&P index and the other tech conglomerates, including GOOGL, FB, and MSFT. AMZN and AAPL are on track to deliver record years across many financial metrics, yet Mr. Market hasn't been excited. I believe too much emphasis has been placed on MEME stocks, while many headlines are written to generate clicks. AMZN is on track to generate more than $450 billion in revenue for 2021, increasing $63.94 billion (16.56%) while significantly enlarging its net income and shareholder equity. Without a shadow of a doubt, AAPL will exceed 2020's total net income and EPS once its Q3 numbers are posted, and Q4's results will leave people astonished. I think the narrative will change in the upcoming weeks, and shares of AAPL and AMZN will act like a coiled spring and break out to the upside.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":58,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
