Since taking the reins in 1965, he&#39;s led his company&#39;s Class A shares (BRK.A) to an average annual gain of 20.1%, which translates into an aggregate return of 3,641,613%, as of the end of 2021. Though no investor is infallible, Buffett&#39;s knack for picking winners has earned him a captive audience.</p><p>The easiest way for investors to ride the Oracle of Omaha&#39;s coattails is to track Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s required quarterlyForm 13Ffilings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3026efccd999f0886edd88e430de3f10\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.</span></p><p><b>Buffett&#39;s &#34;hidden&#34; portfolio purchased three fast-growing companies in the second quarter</b></p><p>A 13F is essentially a snapshot of what the brightest money managers with at least $100 million in assets under management were holding at the end of the most recent quarter. It allows investors to see what these fund managers have been buying, selling, and holding, as well as establish what trends or industries are piquing the attention of professional money managers. Berkshire Hathaway filed its 13F exactly one week ago today, on Aug. 15.</p><p>However, you might be surprised to learn that Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s 13F fails to tell the full story behind Buffett&#39;s direct and indirect holdings. For instance, you won&#39;t find any information about Warren Buffett&#39;s most-purchased stock over the past four years in Berkshire&#39;s 13F. That&#39;s because stock buybacks are only disclosed in the company&#39;s quarterly operating results. Since July 2018, Buffett and his right-hand man Charlie Munger have overseen the repurchase of $62.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s Class A and Class B (BRK.B) shares.</p><p>Something else Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s 13F doesn&#39;t disclose is Warren Buffett&#39;s secret portfolio.</p><p>Back in 1998, the Oracle of Omaha&#39;s company acquired reinsurer General Re for $22 billion. While the prize of this deal was the reinsurance operations, General Re also ran a specialty investment subsidiary known as New England Asset Management (NEAM). When the deal closed, NEAM and its assets under management became an owned entity of Berkshire Hathaway.</p><p>Even though Buffett and his investment team don&#39;t oversee the $5.9 billion New England Asset Management has in assets under management (as of June 30), the securities NEAM owns are, ultimately, part of Berkshire Hathaway.</p><p>According to New England Asset Management&#39;s latest 13F filing, Buffett&#39;s &#34;hidden&#34; portfolio bought three brand-new supercharged growth stocks.</p><p><b>Nvidia</b></p><p>Although the Oracle of Omaha isn&#39;t big on buying fast-growing tech stocks, he&#39;s now the proud indirect owner of shares of <b>Nvidia</b>. The 13F filing with the SEC notes that NEAM acquired more than 3,000 shares of the graphics card and networking solutions company during the second quarter.</p><p>The thought process behind adding Nvidia probably has to do with some combination of shares losing about half their value at one point during the second quarter and the company&#39;s enticing longer-term growth outlook for a variety of its operating segments.</p><p>While Nvidia is likely best-known for its graphics cards, which have performed relatively well with the release of new gaming consoles and the rise of cryptocurrency mining, it&#39;s the company&#39;s data center solutions that are its most intriguing growth driver. Businesses were already shifting data into the cloud at a steady pace prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its wake, the pace of this shift has accelerated, putting even more data center demand on the table. For the time being, only supply chain concerns have slowed Nvidia&#39;s sustainable double-digit annual growth opportunity in data center solutions.</p><p>The company&#39;s ancillary operating segments could also become stars by the midpoint of the decade. Providing solutions to next-generation vehicles, including autonomous vehicles, as well as offering a gateway to the metaverse with its professional visualization software, gives Nvidia supercharged growth potential from what are currently smaller revenue operating segments.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbe03a2edf10691405b26467b83debab\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1335\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p><p><b>NextEra Energy</b></p><p>The second fast-paced growth stock added during the second quarter by Buffett&#39;s secret portfolio iselectric utility <b>NextEra Energy</b>. Although NextEra isn&#39;t generating the same type of annual revenue growth as tech stocks, it<i>is</i>substantially outpacing the growth rate of pretty much all other utility stocks and has done so for more than a decade. Relative to its peers, NextEra is absolutely a supercharged growth stock.</p><p>What makes NextEra Energy such a superstar among utility stocks is its renewable-energy projects. Among U.S. utilities, none is generating more capacity from wind and solar. With up to $55 billion set aside for predominantly green energy projects between 2020 and 2022, and the company forecasting up to 36,900 megawatts of renewable energy projects in its backlog between 2022 and 2025, no other utility looks close to challenging NextEra as the renewable energy kingpin.</p><p>Although wind, solar, and energy storage projects can be costly, the company was able to take advantage of years of historically low interest rates to advance its green energy push. The end result is significantly reduced electricity generation costs and a compound annual growth rate that&#39;s stayed in the high single digits for over a decade.</p><p>As an added bonus, NextEra Energy is also a Dividend Aristocrat. This is a term bestowed on <b>S&amp;P 500</b>-listed companies that have raised their base annual dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. NextEra has increased its payout for 28 consecutive years, with management anticipating double-digit percentage increases in the company&#39;s base annual distribution through 2024.</p><p><b>Chewy</b></p><p>The third and final supercharged growth stock added to Warren Buffett&#39;s secret portfolio during the second quarter is online-based pet food and treats company <b>Chewy</b>. New England Asset Management opened its position with a stake of more than 1,600 shares.</p><p>One of the best aspects of pet industry stocks is that they&#39;re practically recession-proof. According to data from the American Pet Products Association, the percentage of U.S. households that own a pet hit an all-time high (at least during the APPA&#39;s period of survey-taking) of 70% in 2022. Further, it&#39;s been at least a quarter of a century, if not much longer, since year-over-year pet spending in the U.S. declined. No matter what you throw at pet owners, they&#39;re always willing to open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their furry, feathered, scaled, and gilled family members.</p><p>Aside from operating in a highly defensive industry,what makes Chewy so great is its online focus. Partnering with over 3,000 brands and offering north of 100,000 products online, Chewy has made itself a go-to e-commerce shop for pet owners.

Since taking the reins in 1965, he's led his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) to an average annual gain of 20.1%, which translates into an aggregate return of 3,641,613%, as of the end of 2021. Though no investor is infallible, Buffett's knack for picking winners has earned him a captive audience.The easiest way for investors to ride the Oracle of Omaha's coattails is to track Berkshire Hathaway's required quarterlyForm 13Ffilings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.Buffett's \"hidden\" portfolio purchased three fast-growing companies in the second quarterA 13F is essentially a snapshot of what the brightest money managers with at least $100 million in assets under management were holding at the end of the most recent quarter. It allows investors to see what these fund managers have been buying, selling, and holding, as well as establish what trends or industries are piquing the attention of professional money managers. Berkshire Hathaway filed its 13F exactly one week ago today, on Aug. 15.However, you might be surprised to learn that Berkshire Hathaway's 13F fails to tell the full story behind Buffett's direct and indirect holdings. For instance, you won't find any information about Warren Buffett's most-purchased stock over the past four years in Berkshire's 13F. That's because stock buybacks are only disclosed in the company's quarterly operating results. Since July 2018, Buffett and his right-hand man Charlie Munger have overseen the repurchase of $62.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway's Class A and Class B (BRK.B) shares.Something else Berkshire Hathaway's 13F doesn't disclose is Warren Buffett's secret portfolio.Back in 1998, the Oracle of Omaha's company acquired reinsurer General Re for $22 billion. While the prize of this deal was the reinsurance operations, General Re also ran a specialty investment subsidiary known as New England Asset Management (NEAM). When the deal closed, NEAM and its assets under management became an owned entity of Berkshire Hathaway.Even though Buffett and his investment team don't oversee the $5.9 billion New England Asset Management has in assets under management (as of June 30), the securities NEAM owns are, ultimately, part of Berkshire Hathaway.According to New England Asset Management's latest 13F filing, Buffett's \"hidden\" portfolio bought three brand-new supercharged growth stocks.NvidiaAlthough the Oracle of Omaha isn't big on buying fast-growing tech stocks, he's now the proud indirect owner of shares of Nvidia. The 13F filing with the SEC notes that NEAM acquired more than 3,000 shares of the graphics card and networking solutions company during the second quarter.The thought process behind adding Nvidia probably has to do with some combination of shares losing about half their value at one point during the second quarter and the company's enticing longer-term growth outlook for a variety of its operating segments.While Nvidia is likely best-known for its graphics cards, which have performed relatively well with the release of new gaming consoles and the rise of cryptocurrency mining, it's the company's data center solutions that are its most intriguing growth driver. Businesses were already shifting data into the cloud at a steady pace prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its wake, the pace of this shift has accelerated, putting even more data center demand on the table. For the time being, only supply chain concerns have slowed Nvidia's sustainable double-digit annual growth opportunity in data center solutions.The company's ancillary operating segments could also become stars by the midpoint of the decade. Providing solutions to next-generation vehicles, including autonomous vehicles, as well as offering a gateway to the metaverse with its professional visualization software, gives Nvidia supercharged growth potential from what are currently smaller revenue operating segments.IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.NextEra EnergyThe second fast-paced growth stock added during the second quarter by Buffett's secret portfolio iselectric utility NextEra Energy. Although NextEra isn't generating the same type of annual revenue growth as tech stocks, itissubstantially outpacing the growth rate of pretty much all other utility stocks and has done so for more than a decade. Relative to its peers, NextEra is absolutely a supercharged growth stock.What makes NextEra Energy such a superstar among utility stocks is its renewable-energy projects. Among U.S. utilities, none is generating more capacity from wind and solar. With up to $55 billion set aside for predominantly green energy projects between 2020 and 2022, and the company forecasting up to 36,900 megawatts of renewable energy projects in its backlog between 2022 and 2025, no other utility looks close to challenging NextEra as the renewable energy kingpin.Although wind, solar, and energy storage projects can be costly, the company was able to take advantage of years of historically low interest rates to advance its green energy push. The end result is significantly reduced electricity generation costs and a compound annual growth rate that's stayed in the high single digits for over a decade.As an added bonus, NextEra Energy is also a Dividend Aristocrat. This is a term bestowed on S&P 500-listed companies that have raised their base annual dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. NextEra has increased its payout for 28 consecutive years, with management anticipating double-digit percentage increases in the company's base annual distribution through 2024.ChewyThe third and final supercharged growth stock added to Warren Buffett's secret portfolio during the second quarter is online-based pet food and treats company Chewy. New England Asset Management opened its position with a stake of more than 1,600 shares.One of the best aspects of pet industry stocks is that they're practically recession-proof. According to data from the American Pet Products Association, the percentage of U.S. households that own a pet hit an all-time high (at least during the APPA's period of survey-taking) of 70% in 2022. Further, it's been at least a quarter of a century, if not much longer, since year-over-year pet spending in the U.S. declined. No matter what you throw at pet owners, they're always willing to open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their furry, feathered, scaled, and gilled family members.Aside from operating in a highly defensive industry,what makes Chewy so great is its online focus. Partnering with over 3,000 brands and offering north of 100,000 products online, Chewy has made itself a go-to e-commerce shop for pet owners. Since it doesn't have to spend its time guessing what products to put in brick-and-mortar stores, Chewy is able to generate juicier gross margins than most traditional retail operators in the pet industry.What's more, Chewy is using innovation to its advantage. It recently partnered with Trupanion to introduce CarePlus, a health insurance and wellness plan that covers preventative care and surgeries.  The addressable pet insurance market in the U.S. has hardly been penetrated. This should give Chewy and Trupanion a long runway to offer what should be a high-margin insurance product.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":60,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9045953533,"gmtCreate":1656553177822,"gmtModify":1676535852528,"author":{"id":"3582486329089537","authorId":"3582486329089537","name":"BC10","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9045953533","repostId":"2247044888","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2247044888","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":1656552234,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2247044888?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-30 09:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney Unveils First New Cruise Ship in a Decade, Dips Toe Into Metaverse","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2247044888","media":"Reuters","summary":"PORT CANAVERAL, Fla., June 29 (Reuters) - Chief Executive Bob Chapek introduced Walt Disney Co's fir","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>PORT CANAVERAL, Fla., June 29 (Reuters) - Chief Executive Bob Chapek introduced Walt Disney Co&#39;s first new cruise ship in a decade on Wednesday, the culmination of the first project the former theme parks executive championed to the company&#39;s board of directors.</p><p>The launch of the 4,000-passenger Disney Wish is a bright spot for Chapek, who became Disney&#39;s CEO in February 2020 and secured a three-year contract extension on Tuesday following recent controversies that prompted questions about his tenure.</p><p>It took more than six years to bring the 144,000-ton Wish to the market, Chapek told guests at a christening ceremony that featured fireworks and appearances by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Ant-Man, Chewbacca and other characters from Disney&#39;s vast portfolio.</p><p>On the ship, &#34;we combine these amazing characters and stories with incredible technology to create brand new experiences,&#34; Chapek said.</p><p>The cruise business is part of Disney&#39;s massive theme parks, experiences and products unit, which has rebounded from pandemic closures.

Operating income hit $4.2 billion in the first half of fiscal 2022, reversing a $535 million loss a year earlier.Disney does not disclose how much cruises contribute to earnings, but Chapek said in November that the business has generated \"a double-digit return on investment\" given the premium price that Disney charges.The Wish, the fifth vessel in Disney's fleet, \"kicks off the largest expansion in Disney Cruise Line history,\" said Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney's parks division. Two more ships will be delivered by 2025.The new ship sets sail as the industry works to lure customers back after a 15-month shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.The Cruise Lines International Association estimates it could take until the end of 2023 for passenger volume to surpass the levels of 2019, when 29.7 million people boarded ships around the world.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still advises that COVID-19 \"spreads easily between people in close quarters on board ships\" and that even vaccinated passengers may become infected.D'Amaro said he believed Disney's cruise line would return to full capacity, noting steady gains in bookings.\"When all is said and done, we'll have seven of them, and all seven of them will be filled out,\" he said in an interview. \"I have 100% confidence in that.\"The ship also \"complements everything that we do,\" D'Amaro added. \"For example, people that will come to get aboard this ship ... they're spending three days at Walt Disney World.\"The company will seek to entice vacationers to the Disney Wish with what it touts as its first attraction at sea, the AquaMouse. The theme-park-like ride incorporates animated short films featuring Mickey and other characters as guests float through 760 feet (230 meters) of winding tubes suspended above the upper decks.Dining experiences place families inside the worlds of Disney’s \"Frozen\" and Marvel’s Avengers. For adults, Disney created a Star Wars-themed hyperspace lounge that evokes the look of star cruisers in “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”The ship also boasts an interactive experience that marries the physical and digital worlds. A Disney Cruise Line app turns a user’s phone into a virtual “spyglass” for peering at constellations in the night sky (which appear as Disney and Pixar characters) and embarking on adventures.The interactive game marks a step toward Chapek’s goal of establishing a presence in the metaverse. The executive has advocated virtual experiences as a way to keep consumers connected to Disney characters and stories in between movie releases and park visits.The Disney Wish will set out on its first voyage on July 14 from Port Canaveral in Florida.Disney has been embroiled in controversy in the state after the company opposed legislation to limit LGBTQ discussion in schools. That prompted state lawmakers to pass a measure that removes the company's self-governing status for Walt Disney World in Orlando, though it has not yet taken effect.Employees at Disney had urged the company to speak out against the LGBTQ legislation, which opponents dubbed a \"Don't Say Gay\" bill.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":155,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041300575,"gmtCreate":1656000995198,"gmtModify":1676535748490,"author":{"id":"3582486329089537","authorId":"3582486329089537","name":"BC10","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041300575","repostId":"1185817761","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185817761","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1655991697,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1185817761?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-23 21:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Some Chinese ADRs Climbed in Morning Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185817761","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Some chinese ADRs climbed in morning trading. Alibaba, Pinduoduo, Baidu, Xpeng, Li Auto, Bilibili an","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Some chinese ADRs climbed in morning trading. Alibaba, Pinduoduo, Baidu, Xpeng, Li Auto, Bilibili and KE Holding rose between 1% and 6%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29625cf36ad8d31fa5f407f737d2e30c\" tg-width=\"381\" tg-height=\"431\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

However, macro uncertainty and softness in the cloud business are a drag.The macro weakness in China, increased competitive activity, and COVID-led disruptions have weighed on the financial performance of internet giant Alibaba (NYSE: BABA). The company’s growth decelerated sequentially over the past several quarters.Given the challenges, Alibaba stock has dropped nearly 54% from its 52-week high. While the slowdown in growth dragged its share price lower, regulatory headwinds further contributed to its decline.What’s Next?Though BABA stock has decreased substantially, COVID-led uncertainty and the economic slowdown could restrict the recovery in the short term. However, favorable government policies and easing COVID restrictions could reaccelerate growth.During last quarter’s conference call, Alibaba’s CEO, Daniel Zhang, indicated supportive government policies. Zhang stated, “Chinese government has released important policy signals on its commitment to stabilize the economy.” Moreover, “They have also issued clear statements on promoting the development of internet platform economy through a healthy, regulatory environment.”As the operating environment shows signs of improvement, US Tiger Securities analyst Bo Pei upgraded BABA stock to Buy from Hold.Pei added, “Despite the more challenging June quarter, we are upgrading BABA to BUY as we believe both revenue and profitability will bottom out and hit a long-awaited inflection point in the quarter.”The analyst expects Alibaba’s growth to improve in the second half of this year, benefitting from easier year-over-year comparisons and government stimulus.Echoing similar sentiments, Bank of America Securities analyst Eddie Leung reiterated his Buy recommendation on BABA stock.Offering updates from its virtual Innovative Conference with Alibaba, Leung said supply bottlenecks are easing. Further, Alibaba is witnessing an improvement in demand in some product categories. However, for the cloud business, “Alibaba sees resumption of some projects delayed by the lockdowns but expects an economic slowdown and moderate traffic growth among Internet sector clients to weigh on the near-term growth.”Including Pei and Leung, Alibaba has received 16 Buy recommendations. Meanwhile, two analysts remain sidelined.Overall, it sports a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks. Further, the average Alibaba price target of $161.01 implies 51.2% upside potential.Bottom LineThe easing of regulatory headwinds and COVID-led restrictions will likely support Alibaba’s growth. Moreover, easier year-over-year comparisons are positive. However, uncertainty related to the pandemic, an expected softness in the cloud business, and a tough macro environment pose challenges.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":234,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9050125045,"gmtCreate":1654150221788,"gmtModify":1676535403719,"author":{"id":"3582486329089537","authorId":"3582486329089537","name":"BC10","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9050125045","repostId":"2240222457","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2240222457","pubTimestamp":1654148708,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2240222457?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-02 13:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Shows A Surprising Win","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2240222457","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has shown surprisingly good performance in some key businesses in the recent qua","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has shown surprisingly good performance in some key businesses in the recent quarter which makes the stock a &#34;Strong Buy&#34; at the current price.</p><p>One of the most important is Local Consumer Services which involves the delivery businesses like Ele.me, Fliggy and Taoxianda. The YoY growth rate in this segment was 29% compared to the overall growth of 9%. This made it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the fastest-growing business segments of Alibaba. At the same time, Local consumer services segment showed a thirty percentage point improvement in EBITA margin. This alone saved Alibaba $2 billion on an annualized basis.</p><p>One of the main factors behind the better performance is the fines levied in China on Meituan (OTCPK:MPNGY) which is Alibaba&#39;s chief rival. These fines and new regulations are meant to reduce the aggressive initiatives by companies in this segment to gain market share. Meituan was given a fine of $530 million by China&#39;s antitrust regulator.</p><p>Many Wall Street analysts have a bearish outlook for Alibaba due to the regulatory environment. However, we can see that new regulations can be a boon for Alibaba as it reduces the competitive headwinds and helps in improving the margins.</p><p>A big chunk of growth is coming from non-restaurant businesses like grocery and healthcare categories. Massive growth in last-mile delivery services in China and other international regions will be one of the main drivers of Alibaba’s stock growth in the long run.</p><h2>Lower competitive headwinds</h2><p>The initial stages of the delivery business saw huge investment and ramp-up of services by Ele.me and Meituan. However, in the current stage, both the companies have reached a scale where they do not have to give massive subsidies to attract new customers. The regulators are also trying to restrict monopolistic activities by either of the companies. One of the key ways where both Ele.me and Meituan tried to restrict competition was by forcing merchants to choose only one provider for delivery service. The recent fines will prevent this behavior.</p><p>Meituan had to pay more than $500 million fine. As the rules of competition become more defined, both Ele.me and Meituan will try to gain customers on the back of better and quicker service instead of indulging in price wars. This should help in improving the margin from this segment.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a9aa7de3e10e1045d15372d0adcf03d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"266\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Company Filings</p><p>Figure 1: Local consumer services segment showed 30 percentage point improvement in margins.

The EBITA margin was negative 52% compared to negative 82% in the year-ago quarter. This improvement alone has saved the company $500 million in this quarter and $2 billion on an annualized basis. It is likely that we will continue to see further improvement in margins as Alibaba leverages economies of scale in this business.</p><h2>Improvement in business</h2><p>Local consumer services segment is still reporting healthy growth in customer base and orders. In the latest quarter, it reported 20% YoY growth in annual active customers which has increased to 376 million. The YoY revenue growth came at 29% in the recent quarter. This is one of the fastest-growing businesses of Alibaba. We should also see further growth in the next few years on the back of a bigger customer base and larger order volume per customer. New services like grocery and healthcare delivery will add new revenue streams to this business.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f10d3dbefd0d0a3c78dd4410935debbb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Company Filings</p><p>Figure 2: Local Consumer Services segment reaches $1.6 billion quarterly revenue.

There is still a lot of potential for growth through subscriptions and margin improvement.</p><h2>Long-term opportunity</h2><p>In a recent quarterly report, DoorDash (DASH) mentioned the long-term market potential of last-mile delivery. Alibaba has already built this service in China. We could see a replication of these services in other international markets like Southeast Asia and Europe. This would take a number of years, but it is likely that Alibaba would be one of the key last-mile delivery players in most of the important e-commerce markets of the world. This should help in building a long-term bullish trajectory for the company.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7930dc2413635ec73e3748c634bbb493\" tg-width=\"987\" tg-height=\"571\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DoorDash filings</p><p>Figure 3: Food and grocery market.

One of the key regions is India where Alibaba’s Ant Financial had built close to 20% stake in Zomato, a major last-mile delivery company. Alibaba reduced its stake after facing some regulatory challenges. Zomato has since completed a successful IPO and is trading at a market cap of over $7 billion. Alibaba&#39;s business in China is significantly bigger than that of Zomato in India which should give Alibaba&#39;s Local consumer services business a better standalone valuation.</p><p>Alibaba is likely to replicate its last-mile delivery business in Southeast Asia, Europe, and other international regions. This will give the company a long runway of growth and improve the ability to build its lucrative subscription business.</p><h2>New growth opportunities</h2><p>Having a strong last-mile delivery capability is an advantage for every e-commerce company. However, this business model is showing success on a standalone basis also. New services are being added where customers are looking for home delivery. This includes grocery, pharmacy, and many other segments. The unit economics of this business depends on the density of the network. Hence, more services and market share help in better utilization of its delivery drivers.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba0eb67592ae0b99ac16c66939e7ecf5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"300\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Ycharts</p><p>Figure 4: Alibaba is trading at a very low forward PE ratio despite showing resilience during lockdowns.

However, the last few months have shown that Alibaba is able to weather new regulations and has built a strong moat that can withstand headwinds like lockdowns during the pandemic. According to Reuters, the last survey showed that Meituan’s market share in the last-mile delivery business of China was 65% while the rest was with Ele.me.

The YoY growth rate in this segment was 29% compared to the overall growth of 9%. This made it one of the fastest-growing business segments of Alibaba. At the same time, Local consumer services segment showed a thirty percentage point improvement in EBITA margin. This alone saved Alibaba $2 billion on an annualized basis.One of the main factors behind the better performance is the fines levied in China on Meituan (OTCPK:MPNGY) which is Alibaba's chief rival. These fines and new regulations are meant to reduce the aggressive initiatives by companies in this segment to gain market share. Meituan was given a fine of $530 million by China's antitrust regulator.Many Wall Street analysts have a bearish outlook for Alibaba due to the regulatory environment. However, we can see that new regulations can be a boon for Alibaba as it reduces the competitive headwinds and helps in improving the margins.A big chunk of growth is coming from non-restaurant businesses like grocery and healthcare categories. Massive growth in last-mile delivery services in China and other international regions will be one of the main drivers of Alibaba’s stock growth in the long run.Lower competitive headwindsThe initial stages of the delivery business saw huge investment and ramp-up of services by Ele.me and Meituan. However, in the current stage, both the companies have reached a scale where they do not have to give massive subsidies to attract new customers. The regulators are also trying to restrict monopolistic activities by either of the companies. One of the key ways where both Ele.me and Meituan tried to restrict competition was by forcing merchants to choose only one provider for delivery service. The recent fines will prevent this behavior.Meituan had to pay more than $500 million fine. As the rules of competition become more defined, both Ele.me and Meituan will try to gain customers on the back of better and quicker service instead of indulging in price wars. This should help in improving the margin from this segment.Company FilingsFigure 1: Local consumer services segment showed 30 percentage point improvement in margins. Source: Company FilingsAlibaba reported close to $1.6 billion in quarterly revenue for its Local consumer services business. The EBITA margin was negative 52% compared to negative 82% in the year-ago quarter. This improvement alone has saved the company $500 million in this quarter and $2 billion on an annualized basis. It is likely that we will continue to see further improvement in margins as Alibaba leverages economies of scale in this business.Improvement in businessLocal consumer services segment is still reporting healthy growth in customer base and orders. In the latest quarter, it reported 20% YoY growth in annual active customers which has increased to 376 million. The YoY revenue growth came at 29% in the recent quarter. This is one of the fastest-growing businesses of Alibaba. We should also see further growth in the next few years on the back of a bigger customer base and larger order volume per customer. New services like grocery and healthcare delivery will add new revenue streams to this business.Company FilingsFigure 2: Local Consumer Services segment reaches $1.6 billion quarterly revenue. Source: Company FilingsThe annualized revenue rate of Local consumer services business is over $6 billion. There is still a lot of potential for growth through subscriptions and margin improvement.Long-term opportunityIn a recent quarterly report, DoorDash (DASH) mentioned the long-term market potential of last-mile delivery. Alibaba has already built this service in China. We could see a replication of these services in other international markets like Southeast Asia and Europe. This would take a number of years, but it is likely that Alibaba would be one of the key last-mile delivery players in most of the important e-commerce markets of the world. This should help in building a long-term bullish trajectory for the company.DoorDash filingsFigure 3: Food and grocery market. Source: DoorDash filingAlibaba has also been successful in building its stake in leading delivery providers in international regions. One of the key regions is India where Alibaba’s Ant Financial had built close to 20% stake in Zomato, a major last-mile delivery company. Alibaba reduced its stake after facing some regulatory challenges. Zomato has since completed a successful IPO and is trading at a market cap of over $7 billion.

Only invest money you can afford to lose</h3><p>Cryptocurrency investment is high risk and there are no guarantees. Many people see the headlines about eye-watering profits and invest because they think they might get rich. Some cryptos have generated incredible profits, but many have failed completely as well. This is a brutal market, some of the technology is experimental, and even a top 20 crypto can collapse in a matter of days.</p><p>Never borrow money to buy crypto. Moreover, if the collapse of any individual crypto -- or the whole market -- might devastate your finances, then don&#39;t invest. Prioritize your emergency fund, retirement savings, debt payments, and other financial goals that contribute to long-term wealth over any crypto investments.</p><h3>2. Stablecoins are not as stable as they sound</h3><p>Stablecoins are a key part of the decentralized finance system, often offering high rates of interest to people who deposit on different platforms. Sadly, some people were tempted by the almost 20% APY offered on UST and moved their savings out of bank accounts and into the Terra network.</p><p>The trouble is that money in a bank account is protected by FDIC insurance against collapse. Money on DeFi platforms is not. Plus, U.S. dollars in a bank account may devalue slowly because of inflation but they won&#39;t collapse overnight.</p><p>There are a number of stablecoins out there that maintain their values in different ways. UST was an algorithmic stablecoin backed by the LUNA token, but -- in spite of assurances to the contrary -- it couldn&#39;t hold its peg in the face of extreme volatility.</p><p>If you&#39;re considering using stablecoins and DeFi platforms, research how that particular token supports itself. For example, USD Coin (USDC) is a fiat-backed stablecoin, and should have $1 in reserve for every token it issues. However, even fiat-backed tokens could fall. Never assume a stablecoin is as stable as the currency itself.</p><h2>Bottom line</h2><p>At time of writing, Terra&#39;s blockchain is up and running again and the community are mulling over ways to resuscitate the network. But there&#39;s only so much that can be done to restore people&#39;s losses. Terra&#39;s collapse is a horrible lesson for many investors who invested in good faith in a well-respected cryptocurrency.</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>What Terra Shutting Down Its Blockchain Means for Investors</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\">\nWhat Terra Shutting Down Its Blockchain Means for Investors\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-14 07:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/cryptocurrency/articles/what-terra-shutting-down-its-blockchain-means-for-investors/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>[Image source: Getty ImagesTerraform Labs CEO says UST has failed.Key pointsTerra's blockchain has been shut down twice in recent days, and several exchanges have delisted LUNA.The CEO of Terraform ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/cryptocurrency/articles/what-terra-shutting-down-its-blockchain-means-for-investors/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4211":"区域性银行","ISBC":"投资者银行"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/cryptocurrency/articles/what-terra-shutting-down-its-blockchain-means-for-investors/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2235134123","content_text":"[Image source: Getty ImagesTerraform Labs CEO says UST has failed.Key pointsTerra's blockchain has been shut down twice in recent days, and several exchanges have delisted LUNA.The CEO of Terraform Labs outlined new plans to restart the ecosystem, but admits UST has failed.Dollar-pegged stablecoins will never be as safe as the U.S. dollar.Terraform Labs has halted its blockchain twice in recent days after the value of LUNA dropped to almost nothing.

Stablecoins are not as stable as they soundStablecoins are a key part of the decentralized finance system, often offering high rates of interest to people who deposit on different platforms. Sadly, some people were tempted by the almost 20% APY offered on UST and moved their savings out of bank accounts and into the Terra network.The trouble is that money in a bank account is protected by FDIC insurance against collapse. Money on DeFi platforms is not. Plus, U.S. dollars in a bank account may devalue slowly because of inflation but they won't collapse overnight.There are a number of stablecoins out there that maintain their values in different ways. UST was an algorithmic stablecoin backed by the LUNA token, but -- in spite of assurances to the contrary -- it couldn't hold its peg in the face of extreme volatility.If you're considering using stablecoins and DeFi platforms, research how that particular token supports itself. For example, USD Coin (USDC) is a fiat-backed stablecoin, and should have $1 in reserve for every token it issues. However, even fiat-backed tokens could fall. Never assume a stablecoin is as stable as the currency itself.Bottom lineAt time of writing, Terra's blockchain is up and running again and the community are mulling over ways to resuscitate the network. But there's only so much that can be done to restore people's losses. Terra's collapse is a horrible lesson for many investors who invested in good faith in a well-respected cryptocurrency.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9086686969,"gmtCreate":1650449286744,"gmtModify":1676534726321,"author":{"id":"3582486329089537","authorId":"3582486329089537","name":"BC10","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9086686969","repostId":"1154087680","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154087680","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1650435720,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1154087680?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-04-20 14:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Earnings Are Coming.

Operating income hit $4.2 billion in the first half of fiscal 2022, reversing a $535 million loss a year earlier.</p><p>Disney does not disclose how much cruises contribute to earnings, but Chapek said in November that the business has generated &#34;a double-digit return on investment&#34; given the premium price that Disney charges.</p><p>The Wish, the fifth vessel in Disney&#39;s fleet, &#34;kicks off the largest expansion in Disney Cruise Line history,&#34; said Josh D&#39;Amaro, chairman of Disney&#39;s parks division. Two more ships will be delivered by 2025.</p><p>The new ship sets sail as the industry works to lure customers back after a 15-month shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>The Cruise Lines International Association estimates it could take until the end of 2023 for passenger volume to surpass the levels of 2019, when 29.7 million people boarded ships around the world.</p><p>The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still advises that COVID-19 &#34;spreads easily between people in close quarters on board ships&#34; and that even vaccinated passengers may become infected.</p><p>D&#39;Amaro said he believed Disney&#39;s cruise line would return to full capacity, noting steady gains in bookings.</p><p>&#34;When all is said and done, we&#39;ll have seven of them, and all seven of them will be filled out,&#34; he said in an interview. &#34;I have 100% confidence in that.&#34;</p><p>The ship also &#34;complements everything that we do,&#34; D&#39;Amaro added. &#34;For example, people that will come to get aboard this ship ... they&#39;re spending three days at Walt Disney World.&#34;</p><p>The company will seek to entice vacationers to the Disney Wish with what it touts as its first attraction at sea, the AquaMouse. The theme-park-like ride incorporates animated short films featuring Mickey and other characters as guests float through 760 feet (230 meters) of winding tubes suspended above the upper decks.</p><p>Dining experiences place families inside the worlds of Disney’s &#34;Frozen&#34; and Marvel’s Avengers. For adults, Disney created a Star Wars-themed hyperspace lounge that evokes the look of star cruisers in “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”</p><p>The ship also boasts an interactive experience that marries the physical and digital worlds.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is now aiming for something much more painful for the economy to put an end to elevated inflation. The trouble is, even that may not be enough.</p><p>It’s known to economists by the paradoxical name of a “growth recession.” Unlike a soft landing, it’s a protracted period of meager growth and rising unemployment. But it stops short of an outright contraction of the economy.</p><p>Powell “buried the concept of a soft landing” with his Aug. 26 speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, said Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG LLP. Now, “the Fed’s goal is to grind inflation down by slowing growth below its potential,” which officials peg at 1.8%.</p><p>“It’s a bit like dripping water torture,” added Swonk, who attended the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium last week. “It is a torturous process but less torturous and less painful than an abrupt recession.”</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7890c48b572b0230d3c1d5b68836e06a\" tg-width=\"698\" tg-height=\"392\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The shift in Powell’s message got the attention of Wall Street. Stock prices have swooned since the Fed chair vowed to do what it takes to rid the economy of too-high inflation.</p><p>Politicians in Washington took note too. Massachusetts Senator and former Democratic Party presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren voiced concern that the Fed could tip the economy into a recession, while Senate Republican Party leader Mitch McConnell said a downturn was likely as the central bank raises rates to combat inflation.</p><p>In the archetypal soft landing in 1994-95, the Fed slowed the economy briefly and contained inflation through a doubling of interest rates. But unemployment never really rose. It just stopped falling for a while.</p><p>The late New York University economist Solomon Fabricant coined the term “growth recession” in research published in 1972.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is now aiming for something much more painful for the economy to put an end to elevated inflation. The trouble is, even that may not be enough.It’s known to economists by the paradoxical name of a “growth recession.” Unlike a soft landing, it’s a protracted period of meager growth and rising unemployment. But it stops short of an outright contraction of the economy.Powell “buried the concept of a soft landing” with his Aug. 26 speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, said Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG LLP. Now, “the Fed’s goal is to grind inflation down by slowing growth below its potential,” which officials peg at 1.8%.“It’s a bit like dripping water torture,” added Swonk, who attended the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium last week. “It is a torturous process but less torturous and less painful than an abrupt recession.”The shift in Powell’s message got the attention of Wall Street. Stock prices have swooned since the Fed chair vowed to do what it takes to rid the economy of too-high inflation.Politicians in Washington took note too. Massachusetts Senator and former Democratic Party presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren voiced concern that the Fed could tip the economy into a recession, while Senate Republican Party leader Mitch McConnell said a downturn was likely as the central bank raises rates to combat inflation.In the archetypal soft landing in 1994-95, the Fed slowed the economy briefly and contained inflation through a doubling of interest rates. But unemployment never really rose. It just stopped falling for a while.The late New York University economist Solomon Fabricant coined the term “growth recession” in research published in 1972. While such a scenario may not be as costly as an actual contraction, it poses dangers for the economy nonetheless, he suggested at the time.A tiger contained “is not the same as a tiger loose in the streets, but neither is it a paper tiger,” he wrote.Powell has seemingly concluded that it will take a tiger -- and not just a soft landing -- to attack America’s pernicious inflation. In his Jackson Hole speech, he said the labor market was “clearly out of balance,” with the demand for workers substantially exceeding the supply. That’s led to rapid wage rises that are incompatible with the Fed’s 2% inflation target.“Reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth,” Powell said.  “Moreover, there will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions” -- widely seen as a euphemism for higher unemployment.Joblessness probably held steady in August at a five-decade low of 3.5% as payroll growth slowed to 300,000 from 528,000 in July, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The monthly data are scheduled to be released by the Labor Department on Friday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":231,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9996230256,"gmtCreate":1661173822441,"gmtModify":1676536466636,"author":{"id":"3582486329089537","authorId":"3582486329089537","name":"BC10","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9996230256","repostId":"2261517648","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2261517648","pubTimestamp":1661172904,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2261517648?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-22 20:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Warren Buffett's Secret Portfolio Bought 3 New Supercharged Growth Stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2261517648","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"You won't find all of the Oracle of Omaha's holdings in Berkshire Hathaway's quarterly 13F filing.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Buffett&#39;s amazing investing track record has led to a greater than 3,600,000% return for his company&#39;s shareholders since 1965.</li><li>Due to an acquisition in 1998, Buffett has a &#34;hidden&#34; portfolio with $5.9 billion in assets under management.</li><li>The latest round of 13F filings revealed three brand-new growth stocks added to Berkshire&#39;s secret portfolio during the second quarter.</li></ul><p>There are few investors who command the attention of a room quite like <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> CEO Warren Buffett.

Although NextEra isn&#39;t generating the same type of annual revenue growth as tech stocks, it<i>is</i>substantially outpacing the growth rate of pretty much all other utility stocks and has done so for more than a decade. Relative to its peers, NextEra is absolutely a supercharged growth stock.</p><p>What makes NextEra Energy such a superstar among utility stocks is its renewable-energy projects. Among U.S. utilities, none is generating more capacity from wind and solar. With up to $55 billion set aside for predominantly green energy projects between 2020 and 2022, and the company forecasting up to 36,900 megawatts of renewable energy projects in its backlog between 2022 and 2025, no other utility looks close to challenging NextEra as the renewable energy kingpin.</p><p>Although wind, solar, and energy storage projects can be costly, the company was able to take advantage of years of historically low interest rates to advance its green energy push. The end result is significantly reduced electricity generation costs and a compound annual growth rate that&#39;s stayed in the high single digits for over a decade.</p><p>As an added bonus, NextEra Energy is also a Dividend Aristocrat. This is a term bestowed on <b>S&amp;P 500</b>-listed companies that have raised their base annual dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. NextEra has increased its payout for 28 consecutive years, with management anticipating double-digit percentage increases in the company&#39;s base annual distribution through 2024.</p><p><b>Chewy</b></p><p>The third and final supercharged growth stock added to Warren Buffett&#39;s secret portfolio during the second quarter is online-based pet food and treats company <b>Chewy</b>. New England Asset Management opened its position with a stake of more than 1,600 shares.</p><p>One of the best aspects of pet industry stocks is that they&#39;re practically recession-proof. According to data from the American Pet Products Association, the percentage of U.S. households that own a pet hit an all-time high (at least during the APPA&#39;s period of survey-taking) of 70% in 2022. Further, it&#39;s been at least a quarter of a century, if not much longer, since year-over-year pet spending in the U.S. declined. No matter what you throw at pet owners, they&#39;re always willing to open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their furry, feathered, scaled, and gilled family members.</p><p>Aside from operating in a highly defensive industry,what makes Chewy so great is its online focus. Partnering with over 3,000 brands and offering north of 100,000 products online, Chewy has made itself a go-to e-commerce shop for pet owners. Since it doesn&#39;t have to spend its time guessing what products to put in brick-and-mortar stores, Chewy is able to generate juicier gross margins than most traditional retail operators in the pet industry.</p><p>What&#39;s more, Chewy is using innovation to its advantage. It recently partnered with <b>Trupanion</b> to introduce CarePlus, a health insurance and wellness plan that covers preventative care and surgeries.  The addressable pet insurance market in the U.S. has hardly been penetrated. This should give Chewy and Trupanion a long runway to offer what should be a high-margin insurance product.</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>Warren Buffett's Secret Portfolio Bought 3 New Supercharged Growth Stocks</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\">\nWarren Buffett's Secret Portfolio Bought 3 New Supercharged Growth Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-22 20:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/22/warren-buffett-secret-portfolio-buy-3-growth-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSBuffett's amazing investing track record has led to a greater than 3,600,000% return for his company's shareholders since 1965.Due to an acquisition in 1998, Buffett has a \"hidden\" portfolio...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/22/warren-buffett-secret-portfolio-buy-3-growth-stock/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.A":"伯克希尔","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","NEP":"Nextera Energy Partners","CHWY":"Chewy, Inc.","NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/22/warren-buffett-secret-portfolio-buy-3-growth-stock/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2261517648","content_text":"KEY POINTSBuffett's amazing investing track record has led to a greater than 3,600,000% return for his company's shareholders since 1965.Due to an acquisition in 1998, Buffett has a \"hidden\" portfolio with $5.9 billion in assets under management.The latest round of 13F filings revealed three brand-new growth stocks added to Berkshire's secret portfolio during the second quarter.There are few investors who command the attention of a room quite like Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett.

With up to $55 billion set aside for predominantly green energy projects between 2020 and 2022, and the company forecasting up to 36,900 megawatts of renewable energy projects in its backlog between 2022 and 2025, no other utility looks close to challenging NextEra as the renewable energy kingpin.Although wind, solar, and energy storage projects can be costly, the company was able to take advantage of years of historically low interest rates to advance its green energy push. The end result is significantly reduced electricity generation costs and a compound annual growth rate that's stayed in the high single digits for over a decade.As an added bonus, NextEra Energy is also a Dividend Aristocrat. This is a term bestowed on S&P 500-listed companies that have raised their base annual dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. NextEra has increased its payout for 28 consecutive years, with management anticipating double-digit percentage increases in the company's base annual distribution through 2024.ChewyThe third and final supercharged growth stock added to Warren Buffett's secret portfolio during the second quarter is online-based pet food and treats company Chewy. New England Asset Management opened its position with a stake of more than 1,600 shares.One of the best aspects of pet industry stocks is that they're practically recession-proof. According to data from the American Pet Products Association, the percentage of U.S. households that own a pet hit an all-time high (at least during the APPA's period of survey-taking) of 70% in 2022. Further, it's been at least a quarter of a century, if not much longer, since year-over-year pet spending in the U.S. declined. No matter what you throw at pet owners, they're always willing to open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their furry, feathered, scaled, and gilled family members.Aside from operating in a highly defensive industry,what makes Chewy so great is its online focus. Partnering with over 3,000 brands and offering north of 100,000 products online, Chewy has made itself a go-to e-commerce shop for pet owners. Since it doesn't have to spend its time guessing what products to put in brick-and-mortar stores, Chewy is able to generate juicier gross margins than most traditional retail operators in the pet industry.What's more, Chewy is using innovation to its advantage. It recently partnered with Trupanion to introduce CarePlus, a health insurance and wellness plan that covers preventative care and surgeries.  The addressable pet insurance market in the U.S. has hardly been penetrated. This should give Chewy and Trupanion a long runway to offer what should be a high-margin insurance product.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":60,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067407177,"gmtCreate":1652493802799,"gmtModify":1676535111433,"author":{"id":"3582486329089537","authorId":"3582486329089537","name":"BC10","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9067407177","repostId":"2235134123","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2235134123","pubTimestamp":1652484869,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2235134123?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-05-14 07:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Terra Shutting Down Its Blockchain Means for Investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2235134123","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Terraform Labs CEO says UST has failed.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>[</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95f404120b41860cf1369f71be724766\" tg-width=\"724\" tg-height=\"482\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images</p><p><i>Terraform Labs CEO says UST has failed.</i></p><hr/><h3>Key points</h3><ul><li>Terra&#39;s blockchain has been shut down twice in recent days, and several exchanges have delisted LUNA.</li><li>The CEO of Terraform Labs outlined new plans to restart the ecosystem, but admits UST has failed.</li><li>Dollar-pegged stablecoins will never be as safe as the U.S. dollar.</li></ul><hr/><p>Terraform Labs has halted its blockchain twice in recent days after the value of LUNA dropped to almost nothing.

","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Apple will release its earnings report for the fiscal second quarter of 2022 on Thursday, April 28. As usual, the company will release its Q2 2022 earnings report then hold a conference call with investors and analysts to provide more details about the results.</p><p>Apple shares have fared better than peers this year, falling 5.7% versus the 12.9% drop of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index.Apple stock nearly touched the $3 trillion mark again as recently as March 29. But since then, the share price has tumbled almost $14 apiece very quickly, to around $165. Apple is now 9% below all-time highs, a step away from entering correction territory.</p><p><b>Last</b> <b>Quarter</b> <b>Review</b></p><p>Last quarter, Apple reported a revenue record of $123.95 billion, up 11% year over year. The company reported profit of $34.6 billion and earnings per share of $2.10. It’s important to note that Apple itself had warned that it would be negatively impacted by supply constraints during the holiday quarter, but it appears to have weathered that storm quite well.</p><p>Apple did not provide any official guidance for Q2 2022 due to uncertainty caused by manufacturing disruptions and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Apple CFO Luca Maestri said in January that the“very strong customer response to our recent launch of new products and services drove double-digit growth in revenue and earnings.”</p><p><b>Apple Faces Tough Comps</b></p><p>It will be hard for CEO Tim Cook and his team to impress analysts and investors this time. This is the case because Apple will face very tough comparisons against fiscal 2021 results that were outstanding. See quarterly revenue growth chart below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01112f7146cf81565b643db0a14d6cbc\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"722\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple&#39;s total revenue growth. DM Martins Research</span></p><p>The nearly 54% revenue increase delivered this time last year was driven, first and foremost, by 5G-equipped iPhones that were introduced late in 2020. Due to delays in the launch of the new device, quite a bit of smartphone shipments were shifted from the holiday period to fiscal Q2.</p><p>The story did not end there, however. Mac and iPad sales increased by an impressive 70%-plus each. Both product categories benefited from the tail end of the pandemic-era lockdowns, as well as a hybrid-style return to office that boosted demand for PCs and tablets.</p><p>None of the factors above will be in place this time—although smartphones may still see strength coming from a well-received iPhone 13 and the recent launch of the 5G version of the less expensive iPhone SE.</p><p><b>Stock Buybacks</b></p><p>In a note published on April 12, Citigroup Inc. analyst Jim Suva estimated that the iPhone maker might announce a buyback of $80 billion to $90 billion, while also increasing its dividend by 5% to 10%. All eyes will be on its second-quarter results due after the closing bell on April 28.</p><p>With their coffers filling fast, companies including Alphabet Inc. and Microsoft Corp. have been looking for ways to employ excess cash. Apple’s repurchases have totalled $274.5 billion, including $20.4 billion in the December quarter alone. Yet the company still has cash of more than $200 billion on the balance sheet, and with authorization to purchase up to $315 billion of stock, has scope to do a lot more.</p><p>“We expect Apple to add as much as $300 billion to share repurchases following 2Q results as availability wanes in its existing program,”Robert Schiffman, Bloomberg Intelligence senior credit analyst, wrote in a report last week, noting that the company historically reloads the repurchase program following the second quarter.</p><p>The Cupertino-California-based company had increased its buyback program by $90 billion and hiked its dividend by 7% last April, along with its announcement of second-quarter results.</p><p><b>What Wall Street Expects to See Instead</b></p><p>Only because the first calendar quarter of 2022 will not be as good as last year’s, it does not mean that Apple’s results will be disastrous.</p><p>According to Yahoo Finance, analysts believe that revenues in fiscal Q2 will reach $94 billion, which would represent a respectable growth pace of 5% YOY. Not impressed? The annualized two-year growth rate, in this case, would be a sizable 27%.</p><p>On earnings per share, the consensus estimate is for $1.43. The bottom-line growth here would be a much tamer 2% to 3% YOY, but an astounding 50% compounded over the past two years.</p><p>Clearly, Apple is expected to perform well in fiscal Q2 regardless of whether the COVID-19 consumption tailwinds have largely subsided.

However, macro uncertainty and softness in the cloud business are a drag.The macro weakness in China, increased competitive activity, and COVID-led disruptions have weighed on the financial performance of internet giant Alibaba (NYSE: BABA). The company’s growth decelerated sequentially over the past several quarters.Given the challenges, Alibaba stock has dropped nearly 54% from its 52-week high. While the slowdown in growth dragged its share price lower, regulatory headwinds further contributed to its decline.What’s Next?Though BABA stock has decreased substantially, COVID-led uncertainty and the economic slowdown could restrict the recovery in the short term. However, favorable government policies and easing COVID restrictions could reaccelerate growth.During last quarter’s conference call, Alibaba’s CEO, Daniel Zhang, indicated supportive government policies. Zhang stated, “Chinese government has released important policy signals on its commitment to stabilize the economy.” Moreover, “They have also issued clear statements on promoting the development of internet platform economy through a healthy, regulatory environment.”As the operating environment shows signs of improvement, US Tiger Securities analyst Bo Pei upgraded BABA stock to Buy from Hold.Pei added, “Despite the more challenging June quarter, we are upgrading BABA to BUY as we believe both revenue and profitability will bottom out and hit a long-awaited inflection point in the quarter.”The analyst expects Alibaba’s growth to improve in the second half of this year, benefitting from easier year-over-year comparisons and government stimulus.Echoing similar sentiments, Bank of America Securities analyst Eddie Leung reiterated his Buy recommendation on BABA stock.Offering updates from its virtual Innovative Conference with Alibaba, Leung said supply bottlenecks are easing. Further, Alibaba is witnessing an improvement in demand in some product categories. However, for the cloud business, “Alibaba sees resumption of some projects delayed by the lockdowns but expects an economic slowdown and moderate traffic growth among Internet sector clients to weigh on the near-term growth.”Including Pei and Leung, Alibaba has received 16 Buy recommendations. Meanwhile, two analysts remain sidelined.Overall, it sports a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks. Further, the average Alibaba price target of $161.01 implies 51.2% upside potential.Bottom LineThe easing of regulatory headwinds and COVID-led restrictions will likely support Alibaba’s growth. Moreover, easier year-over-year comparisons are positive. However, uncertainty related to the pandemic, an expected softness in the cloud business, and a tough macro environment pose challenges.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":234,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9050125045,"gmtCreate":1654150221788,"gmtModify":1676535403719,"author":{"id":"3582486329089537","authorId":"3582486329089537","name":"BC10","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9050125045","repostId":"2240222457","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2240222457","pubTimestamp":1654148708,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2240222457?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-02 13:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Shows A Surprising Win","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2240222457","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has shown surprisingly good performance in some key businesses in the recent qua","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has shown surprisingly good performance in some key businesses in the recent quarter which makes the stock a &#34;Strong Buy&#34; at the current price.</p><p>One of the most important is Local Consumer Services which involves the delivery businesses like Ele.me, Fliggy and Taoxianda.

Source: Company Filings</p><p>Alibaba reported close to $1.6 billion in quarterly revenue for its Local consumer services business. The EBITA margin was negative 52% compared to negative 82% in the year-ago quarter. This improvement alone has saved the company $500 million in this quarter and $2 billion on an annualized basis. It is likely that we will continue to see further improvement in margins as Alibaba leverages economies of scale in this business.</p><h2>Improvement in business</h2><p>Local consumer services segment is still reporting healthy growth in customer base and orders. In the latest quarter, it reported 20% YoY growth in annual active customers which has increased to 376 million. The YoY revenue growth came at 29% in the recent quarter. This is one of the fastest-growing businesses of Alibaba. We should also see further growth in the next few years on the back of a bigger customer base and larger order volume per customer. New services like grocery and healthcare delivery will add new revenue streams to this business.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f10d3dbefd0d0a3c78dd4410935debbb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Company Filings</p><p>Figure 2: Local Consumer Services segment reaches $1.6 billion quarterly revenue. Source: Company Filings</p><p>The annualized revenue rate of Local consumer services business is over $6 billion. There is still a lot of potential for growth through subscriptions and margin improvement.</p><h2>Long-term opportunity</h2><p>In a recent quarterly report, DoorDash (DASH) mentioned the long-term market potential of last-mile delivery. Alibaba has already built this service in China. We could see a replication of these services in other international markets like Southeast Asia and Europe. This would take a number of years, but it is likely that Alibaba would be one of the key last-mile delivery players in most of the important e-commerce markets of the world. This should help in building a long-term bullish trajectory for the company.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7930dc2413635ec73e3748c634bbb493\" tg-width=\"987\" tg-height=\"571\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DoorDash filings</p><p>Figure 3: Food and grocery market. Source: DoorDash filing</p><p>Alibaba has also been successful in building its stake in leading delivery providers in international regions. One of the key regions is India where Alibaba’s Ant Financial had built close to 20% stake in Zomato, a major last-mile delivery company. Alibaba reduced its stake after facing some regulatory challenges. Zomato has since completed a successful IPO and is trading at a market cap of over $7 billion. Alibaba&#39;s business in China is significantly bigger than that of Zomato in India which should give Alibaba&#39;s Local consumer services business a better standalone valuation.</p><p>Alibaba is likely to replicate its last-mile delivery business in Southeast Asia, Europe, and other international regions. This will give the company a long runway of growth and improve the ability to build its lucrative subscription business.</p><h2>New growth opportunities</h2><p>Having a strong last-mile delivery capability is an advantage for every e-commerce company. However, this business model is showing success on a standalone basis also. New services are being added where customers are looking for home delivery. This includes grocery, pharmacy, and many other segments. The unit economics of this business depends on the density of the network. Hence, more services and market share help in better utilization of its delivery drivers.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba0eb67592ae0b99ac16c66939e7ecf5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"300\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Ycharts</p><p>Figure 4: Alibaba is trading at a very low forward PE ratio despite showing resilience during lockdowns. Source: Ycharts</p><p>Alibaba is trading at a low forward PE multiple. Most of the bearishness is due to uncertainty about regulations and pandemic. However, the last few months have shown that Alibaba is able to weather new regulations and has built a strong moat that can withstand headwinds like lockdowns during the pandemic. According to Reuters, the last survey showed that Meituan’s market share in the last-mile delivery business of China was 65% while the rest was with Ele.me. Meituan is trading at a market cap of $140 billion. Using the market share metric, the standalone valuation of Local consumer services should at least be $70 billion.</p><p>Local consumer services business provides a halo effect to other segments of Alibaba. It is also possible for the company to replicate the business in other international regions. Hence, this should give a premium to Local consumer services valuation on a standalone basis. Even if we take a conservative figure of $70 billion, it is close to 25% of the current market cap of Alibaba.</p><p>It will also provide a strong tailwind to the lucrative subscription business where Alibaba can combine different services like delivery, video streaming, and others in a single membership. This segment has lots of growth potential, both in the domestic as well as international regions. Investors should look at the growth trajectory of Local consumer services business to gauge the future potential of Alibaba stock.</p><h2>Investor Takeaway</h2><p>Alibaba’s Local consumer services business is seeing lower competition after massive fines on Meituan. The regulators are looking to prevent monopoly within the delivery industry which should allow Ele.me and Meituan to retain their market share at reasonable levels. At the same time, Local consumer services has reported close to 20% growth in active customers and 29% YoY growth in revenue. New services are being added for last-mile delivery which should help increase the growth runway in this business.</p><p>Alibaba is also replicating this business in international regions. It was quite successful in building a big ownership stake in India’s Zomato which has a market cap of $7 billion. We should see Local consumer services become an integral part of Alibaba’s stock growth as the revenue share and margins of this business increase.</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>Alibaba Shows A Surprising Win</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 Shows A Surprising Win\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-02 13:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4515631-alibaba-shows-a-surprising-win-baba><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has shown surprisingly good performance in some key businesses in the recent quarter which makes the stock a \"Strong Buy\" at the current price.One of the most important is Local ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4515631-alibaba-shows-a-surprising-win-baba\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BABA":"阿里巴巴","09988":"阿里巴巴-SW"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4515631-alibaba-shows-a-surprising-win-baba","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2240222457","content_text":"Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has shown surprisingly good performance in some key businesses in the recent quarter which makes the stock a \"Strong Buy\" at the current price.One of the most important is Local Consumer Services which involves the delivery businesses like Ele.me, Fliggy and Taoxianda.

It is likely that we will continue to see further improvement in margins as Alibaba leverages economies of scale in this business.Improvement in businessLocal consumer services segment is still reporting healthy growth in customer base and orders. In the latest quarter, it reported 20% YoY growth in annual active customers which has increased to 376 million. The YoY revenue growth came at 29% in the recent quarter. This is one of the fastest-growing businesses of Alibaba. We should also see further growth in the next few years on the back of a bigger customer base and larger order volume per customer. New services like grocery and healthcare delivery will add new revenue streams to this business.Company FilingsFigure 2: Local Consumer Services segment reaches $1.6 billion quarterly revenue. Source: Company FilingsThe annualized revenue rate of Local consumer services business is over $6 billion. There is still a lot of potential for growth through subscriptions and margin improvement.Long-term opportunityIn a recent quarterly report, DoorDash (DASH) mentioned the long-term market potential of last-mile delivery. Alibaba has already built this service in China. We could see a replication of these services in other international markets like Southeast Asia and Europe. This would take a number of years, but it is likely that Alibaba would be one of the key last-mile delivery players in most of the important e-commerce markets of the world. This should help in building a long-term bullish trajectory for the company.DoorDash filingsFigure 3: Food and grocery market. Source: DoorDash filingAlibaba has also been successful in building its stake in leading delivery providers in international regions. One of the key regions is India where Alibaba’s Ant Financial had built close to 20% stake in Zomato, a major last-mile delivery company. Alibaba reduced its stake after facing some regulatory challenges. Zomato has since completed a successful IPO and is trading at a market cap of over $7 billion. Alibaba's business in China is significantly bigger than that of Zomato in India which should give Alibaba's Local consumer services business a better standalone valuation.Alibaba is likely to replicate its last-mile delivery business in Southeast Asia, Europe, and other international regions. This will give the company a long runway of growth and improve the ability to build its lucrative subscription business.New growth opportunitiesHaving a strong last-mile delivery capability is an advantage for every e-commerce company. However, this business model is showing success on a standalone basis also. New services are being added where customers are looking for home delivery. This includes grocery, pharmacy, and many other segments. The unit economics of this business depends on the density of the network. Hence, more services and market share help in better utilization of its delivery drivers.YchartsFigure 4: Alibaba is trading at a very low forward PE ratio despite showing resilience during lockdowns. Source: YchartsAlibaba is trading at a low forward PE multiple. Most of the bearishness is due to uncertainty about regulations and pandemic. However, the last few months have shown that Alibaba is able to weather new regulations and has built a strong moat that can withstand headwinds like lockdowns during the pandemic. According to Reuters, the last survey showed that Meituan’s market share in the last-mile delivery business of China was 65% while the rest was with Ele.me. Meituan is trading at a market cap of $140 billion. Using the market share metric, the standalone valuation of Local consumer services should at least be $70 billion.Local consumer services business provides a halo effect to other segments of Alibaba. It is also possible for the company to replicate the business in other international regions. Hence, this should give a premium to Local consumer services valuation on a standalone basis. Even if we take a conservative figure of $70 billion, it is close to 25% of the current market cap of Alibaba.It will also provide a strong tailwind to the lucrative subscription business where Alibaba can combine different services like delivery, video streaming, and others in a single membership. This segment has lots of growth potential, both in the domestic as well as international regions. Investors should look at the growth trajectory of Local consumer services business to gauge the future potential of Alibaba stock.Investor TakeawayAlibaba’s Local consumer services business is seeing lower competition after massive fines on Meituan. The regulators are looking to prevent monopoly within the delivery industry which should allow Ele.me and Meituan to retain their market share at reasonable levels. At the same time, Local consumer services has reported close to 20% growth in active customers and 29% YoY growth in revenue. New services are being added for last-mile delivery which should help increase the growth runway in this business.Alibaba is also replicating this business in international regions. It was quite successful in building a big ownership stake in India’s Zomato which has a market cap of $7 billion. We should see Local consumer services become an integral part of Alibaba’s stock growth as the revenue share and margins of this business increase.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":156,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
