But we strongly believe the next few days will provide some juicy opportunities for those willing to sell cash-secured puts. Tesla&#39;s recent stock split makes these transactions a lot easier for retail investors. Before the recent 3:1 split, selling a single contract for 100 shares would have required three times the capital to be set aside. Let us use the chain below as an example and see how things look now post-split.</p><h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/169ef27872a01b2f4e10b8f2bbb3595a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"149\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA Option Chain (Think or Swim)</span></p>Key data points</h2><ul><li>Strike Price: $200</li><li>Expiration Date: November 4th, 2022, exactly a month from today.</li><li>Premium: $6/share, for a total of $600.</li></ul><p>In simple words, the put seller collects $600 immediately to buy 100 shares of Tesla at $200 if the stock reaches $200 or below by November 4th, 2022. Bear in mind that time decay is in favor of the option seller, meaning as days go by, the option values decline.</p><h2>What&#39;s the expected return and possible outcomes?</h2><p><b>Return:</b> The premium collected ($600) for setting aside $20,000 represents a 3% return for a month. This is a handy return anytime and even more so in the current market environment. At this time, the market assigns at 77.20% probability that Tesla remains above $200 by expiration on November 4th. To reiterate the impact of the recent stock split, the same transaction would have required $60,000 to be set aside as we&#39;d have been talking about a $600 strike price. Granted, the premium returns would be higher (in dollar), but it is common sense that more investors can afford $20,000 compared to those who can afford $60,000.</p><p><i>Outcome #1:</i> If Tesla stays above $200 by the expiration date, the option seller just retains the premium mentioned above.

Keeping the premium netted in mind, the average cost, in this case, will be $194 ($200 minus $6).</p><p><i>Outcome #3:</i> As an option seller, one can &#34;buy to close&#34; anytime instead of waiting till the expiration date. That may be appealing to those who have the time and patience to play short-dated options many times over. But we typically let the option expire before choosing another chain (or another stock).</p><p>Outcome #4: We will write in detail about this in a future article, but we wanted to mention this as many readers of the Amazon (AMZN) article pointed out. An option seller can always roll into future dated options. That is, instead of getting out of the game entirely by following one of the first three outcomes above, you can close the current option and initiate a new chain with a different strike/expiration/premium combination as a single transaction. There are risks and advantages to this as we plan to describe later.</p><h2>Why $200 Looks attractive?</h2><ul><li><b>Trend:</b> Apart from being a nice round number, $200 is about 20% below the current market price, a bear market by itself by definition. That is on top of the 36% already lost from highs, making $200 more than 50% off from highs. In our view, that is a compelling enough pullback for a company that still has many growth avenues in front of it.</li><li><b>Valuation:</b> At $200, Tesla will be trading at a PEG ratio of less than 1. This is based on a forward multiple of 46 [$200 divided by forward EPS of $4.32] and the five year expected growth rate of 55%. As avid followers of Growth at Reasonable Price [GARP] would attest, a PEG of less than 1 makes a stock more attractive.</li><li><b>Technical:</b> From a technical standpoint, $200 has historically offered plenty of support to the stock. As shown in the chart below, the stock has bounced off from $200 level at least five times in the last two years.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ff7c149c2736d5d318a9f05d5f660af\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"314\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA Chart (Google Charts)</span></p><h2>Many ways to skin the cat</h2><p>If the $200 strike price and the 3% premium return don&#39;t appeal to you and if you are looking for a higher premium return, consider strike price like the one below. In this example, the options seller agrees to buy 100 shares of Tesla at $220 should the stock reach that by November 4th, while collecting a premium of about $11 per share. That&#39;s a much higher return of 5% return in a month, but the risk the seller takes here is that the strike price is just 10% away from the current market price. One more day like yesterday, and you may be obligated to buy the shares. That is not necessarily a good or bad thing. It just depends on what your priority is.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e27902d5809db65325baf7bd85b6e4f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"212\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TSLA Chain (Think or Swim)</span></p><h2>Be aware of your risks and choices</h2><p>Once again, please bear in mind that if your primary interest is in getting premiums, selling puts during down-trending markets may not be the best strategy. If the market blood bath continues, your stock may reach the strike price before you blink. However, if your interest is in acquiring the stock should things fall further, this is a wise strategy. The added income through premium does not hurt either. If you already hold at least 100 shares of Tesla, you may want to consider selling covered call if you understand that strategy. This article explains some basics of it.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Tesla is a volatile company. TSLA is a volatile stock. Tesla is led by a volatile man. And the market is volatile these days. That makes it a double-double-whammy. In such cases, we tend to prefer lower strike prices. If we do get assigned Tesla at the $200 strike price, we will be glad to hold it for the long term for the reasons mentioned above. But that&#39;s us. What is your opinion of Tesla here? Do you believe it will still be overvalued buying at $200? Please leave your comments and opinions below.</p><p><i>This article is written by Tradevestor for reference only.

Economists are forecasting the U.S. economy added 258,000 jobs last month, consensus expectations show, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 3.6%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d4711f95c440e096841a40f3f7c2b265\" tg-width=\"1052\" tg-height=\"650\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>That pace would mark a notable slowdown from the previous three-month average of roughly 375,000 jobs added per month. It would still show fairly healthy, positive growth roughly on par with prepandemic levels—the economy was adding roughly 264,000 jobs monthly in the three months ending January 2020—but it would cement a broader trend toward softening throughout the labor market that has become clearer in recent weeks.</p><p>While the labor market has for months been among the strongest elements—if not the strongest—of a fragile economy, recent government data suggests it could be past its peak.

In addition, the company’s most recent results and guidance entail that its investors don’t have much to worry about. As a result, MSFT appears to be a relatively safe stock considering its strong balance sheet and incredible long-term prospects.Tech behemoth Microsoft (MSFT) has been a growth juggernaut over the past several years. Yes, the company was originally synonymous with PC operating systems, but its pivot to cloud computing is perhaps its biggest strength now.Furthermore, Microsoft is presenting clear signs of a rebound with its robust financial quarter and incredible showing in its cloud computing segment.Therefore, MSFT stock seems like an incredible long-term play, especially since it’s down 24% year-to-date. We are bullish on the stock.Cloud Computing – A Massive Growth Catalyst for MicrosoftAs mentioned earlier, Microsoft initially focused on PC operating systems but has shifted to cloud computing to make up for the decline in demand for PCs and spread risk across multiple revenue streams. This resulted in Microsoft’s cloud computing service Azure, which stands toe-to-toe with Amazon (AMZN) Web Services (AWS).So, tech giants, including Amazon, Alphabet (GOOG), and Microsoft, have cloud computing segments worth billions of dollars. Yet, according to research, IT companies have ignored and underspent on cloud computing despite a considerable growth opportunity.So, the pivot to cloud computing offers a massive opportunity for Microsoft to scale further. Not to mention, Microsoft’s decision to invest in cloud computing with Azure helped the company reach a $2 trillion market cap.According to research firm Gartner (IT), currently, less than one-third of digital work is done on cloud operating platforms, but by the end of 2025, more than 95% of work will be carried out on the cloud. So, the robust growth in the cloud could bring about a revolution for Microsoft.The Growth Machine Isn’t StoppingMicrosoft’s Fiscal Q3 earnings, released in late April, were very impressive. The company posted revenue of $49.36 billion, up 18% year-over-year. Not just this, but the revenue exceeded analysts’ expectations of $49.05 billion.The company credited a chunk of its third-quarter growth to the cloud, with revenue climbing 29% in this segment. In addition, the company generated earnings per share of $2.22 against expectations of $2.19.This is impressive, but what’s shocking is Microsoft’s results in Intelligent Cloud. The company generated more than $19 billion in Intelligent Cloud, reporting an increase of 26% year-over-year. In addition, the company’s CEO, Satya Nadella, mentioned that the number of Azure deals worth more than $100 million increased over 100% year-over-year.In contrast, the company’s Productivity and Business Processes segment generated $15.79 billion in revenue, which surpassed estimates. Furthermore, Microsoft’s income during the first three quarters of 2022 amounted to $56 billion, 25% higher than the prior year period. Rising margins offer operating leverage to Microsoft and enable the company to keep its competitors on their toes.In its guidance, the company mentioned that it expects robust revenue growth in the upcoming quarter. However, it also noted that some parts of the business might yield single-digit growth due to the Russia-Ukraine war and Chinese production shutdowns due to the pandemic. Unfortunately, these macroeconomic headwinds are inescapable, so there’s little that Microsoft can do.However, on a positive note, Microsoft ended its third quarter with more than $25 billion in operating cash flow, which is up 14% year over year. The high level of cash generation is augmenting Microsoft’s healthy balance sheet. Currently, the company has over $104 billion in cash and cash equivalents.Wall Street’s Take on MSFT StockTurning to Wall Street, MSFT stock maintains a Strong Buy consensus rating. Out of 28 total analyst ratings, 27 Buys, one Hold, and zero Sell ratings were assigned over the past three months.The average MSFT price target is $347.24, implying 35.3% upside potential. Analyst price targets range from a low of $298.18 per share to a high of $411 per share.The Takeaway – Don’t Dismiss Microsoft’s PotentialMicrosoft is a household name in the tech sphere and a darling for investors. The company has generated billions in revenue and profits, exceeding analyst expectations. Microsoft’s third-quarter reports suggest that it’s still on an upward journey.Moreover, the business’s cloud segment is thriving, which can contribute immensely to its growth story. Considering the reach of Microsoft’s businesses, it is safe to say that the company is a tech conglomerate.Yes, Microsoft hasn’t been able to escape the uncertainty in the tech industry, but its financial outlook implies that investors have little to nothing to worry about. So, even with its fair share of challenges, MSFT isn’t a stock that investors would want to write off.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":400,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9058560690,"gmtCreate":1654865002510,"gmtModify":1676535524683,"author":{"id":"3582513679795437","authorId":"3582513679795437","name":"SebTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5de852f0fcd69c2aa7e1fde0411cbe57","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582513679795437","idStr":"3582513679795437"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Another round of selling again&nbsp;","listText":"Another round of selling again&nbsp;","text":"Another round of selling again","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9058560690","repostId":"1111306345","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111306345","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1654864238,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111306345?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-10 20:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Inflation Rose 8.6% in May, Highest Since 1981","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111306345","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"KEY POINTSThe consumer price index rose 8.6% in May from a year ago, the highest increase since Dece","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>KEY POINTS</p><ul><li>The consumer price index rose 8.6% in May from a year ago, the highest increase since December 1981.

New vehicle prices rose 1% in May.Friday’s numbers dented hopes that inflation may have peaked and adds to fears that the U.S. economy is nearing a recession.The inflation report comes with the Federal Reserve in the early stages of a rate-hiking campaign to slow growth and bring down prices. May’s report likely solidifies the likelihood of multiple 50 basis point interest rate increases ahead.“Obviously, nothing is good in this report,” said Julian Brigden, president of MI2 Partners, a global macroeconomic research firm. “There is nothing in there that’s going to give the Fed any cheer. ... I struggle to see how the Fed can back off.”With 75 basis points of interest rate rises already under its belt, markets widely expect the Fed to continue tightening policy through the year and possibly into 2023. The central bank’s benchmark short-term borrowing rate is currently anchored around 0.75% -1% and is expected to rise to 2.75%-3% by the end of the year, according to CME Group estimates.Inflation has been a political headache for the White House and President Joe Biden.Administration officials pin most of the blame for the surge on supply chain issues related to the Covid pandemic, imbalances created by outsized demand for goods over services, and the Russian attack on Ukraine.In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, Biden said he will push for further improvements to supply chains and continue efforts to bring down the budget deficit.However, he and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen both have emphasized that much of the responsibility for lowering inflation belongs to the Fed. The administration has largely denied that the trillions of dollars directed toward Covid aid played a major role.How much the central bank will have to raise rates remains to be seen. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers recently released a white paper with a team of other economists that suggests the Fed will need to go further than many are anticipating. The paper asserts that the current inflation predicament is closer to the 1980s situation than it appears because of differences in the ways that CPI is computed then and now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":761,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9051753597,"gmtCreate":1654742990419,"gmtModify":1676535503344,"author":{"id":"3582513679795437","authorId":"3582513679795437","name":"SebTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5de852f0fcd69c2aa7e1fde0411cbe57","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582513679795437","idStr":"3582513679795437"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9051753597","repostId":"2241813966","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2241813966","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1654739913,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2241813966?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-09 09:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Now A Good Time To Buy Palantir Stock?

Assuming a 1.5x price to earnings growth ratio (‘PEG ratio’), I could see PLTR trading at around 13.5x sales by 2024. That presents 141% potential upside, representing around 40% compounded returns over the next 2.5 years. What are the key risks here? I am not concerned with financial solvency risk due to the cash-rich balance sheet and free cash flow generation. But if the company is unable to realize operating leverage, perhaps due to factors like competition, then it may not produce sufficient GAAP profits to justify an investment over the long term. This is a key risk when investing in any unprofitable company. Over the near term, another risk is if growth rates suddenly decelerate rapidly - this would likely lead to material compression in the valuation multiple. I have the view that PLTR has a long growth runway ahead of it but would be a quick seller if the company was unable to meet its outlook for 30% average growth. I rate the stock a strong buy as the underlying growth and multiple expansion potential both make this a compelling buy at current prices. PLTR is one of the core holdings in the Best of Breed portfolio and one I intend to hold over the long term.</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>Is Now A Good Time To Buy Palantir Stock?

The release beat expectations on revenue as well as on EPS. The $3 billion year-over-year increase in revenue showed that BABA was able to crankout strong sales growth even amid China’s lockdowns and other macroeconomic headwinds.</p><p>Alibaba had a lot of things working in its favor going into its Q2 release. The company had negative earnings in the prior year quarter, which meant that the comparisons were soft this time around. The company was caught off guard by some lockdowns in major Chinese cities, but it wasn’t until Q2 (Alibaba’s fiscal Q1) that they became truly widespread. Additionally, BABA enjoyed a significant increase in web traffic in Q4 across virtually all of its online channels. Despite these two factors working in BABA’s favor, analysts still cut estimates repeatedly throughout the quarter, leading to weak expectations.</p><p>So, Alibaba had many advantages heading into this release. Which is why it was not surprising that earnings beat expectations. In Q4, Alibaba put most of its 2021 tech crackdown damage behind it. We’re beginning to see the effects of that today.</p><p>With a solid fourth quarter under its belt, Alibaba has a good foundation to build from. While the upcoming quarterly release is likely to be weak due to China’s heavy Q2 lockdowns, BABA will once again have soft comparisons in the September quarter. This lends credence to the idea that 2022 will be the year when Alibaba recovers–although the process may take longer than we initially thought.</p><p><b>Earnings Recap</b></p><p>For the fourth quarter, Alibaba delivered strong earnings, beating on both the top and bottom lines. Some highlights include:</p><ul><li><p>Revenue: $32.1 billion, up 9% (beat by $3 billion);</p></li><li><p>Operating income: $2.6 billion;</p></li><li><p>GAAP earnings: $-2.5 billion;</p></li><li><p>Adjusted earnings: $3.1 billion;</p></li><li><p>Diluted EPS: $1.25, down 23% (beat by $0.16);</p></li><li><p>Operating cash flow: $-1.1 billion.</p></li></ul><p>Pretty strong results, all things considered. Even with lockdowns taking place in the fourth quarter, Alibaba managed to grow its revenue by billions of dollars.</p><p>A few metrics in the release were particularly surprising, such as the 8% growth in core commerce. Going into the release, many investors expected the core eCommerce segment to weigh on results, as China was going through lockdowns in Q4. In past quarters, that segment underperformed relative to the cloud segment. This time around, that trend reversed. In Q4, Alibaba Cloud lost its biggest customer, which resulted in the segment growing by only 21%. Alibaba Cloud has long been considered a major potential growth driver for BABA, so its comparative under-performance in Q4 was a disappointment.</p><p>The cloud segment is worth exploring in detail. In the earnings release, BABA said that “a top customer” cut out its use of Alibaba cloud due to slowing demand in China. It did not specify the identity of the customer. The customer also apparently ceased using Alibaba Cloud in its international business, though it declined to say why. According to Alibaba, cloud growth would have been 29% had this customer not stopped using the service.</p><p>So, although Alibaba Cloud growth decelerated significantly in Q4, there is reason to think that it will pick up again. The 29% growth that Alibaba Cloud would have delivered had this customer still been in the picture would have been commensurate with past quarters, meaning that BABA would not have experienced deceleration. If Alibaba can get that customer back, then its growth could accelerate in the near future.</p><p><b>Competitors’ Results</b></p><p>To truly understand Alibaba’s Q4 results, we need to check in on how the company’s competitors have been doing. It’s well known that China’s government wants to increase competition in the tech sector, and this has been cited as a headwind for Alibaba. Given this, it makes sense to look at some of BABA’s competitors’ recent releases. Armed with this information, we can gauge how much of an advantage or disadvantage BABA has going forward.</p><p>First, let’s look at <b>JD.com, Inc.</b> (JD). JD’s earnings release was mixed. Revenue beat expectations, growing 18%, as did adjusted earnings. GAAP earnings, on the other hand, missed by a pretty wide margin, coming in at $-0.29, compared to $-0.02 expected. It wasn’t a great release, but the growth in revenue shows that one of BABA’s competitors is increasing its presence in the market. That could be thought of as a negative for BABA.</p><p>Next up we have <b>Pinduoduo Inc.</b> (PDD). PDD’s most recent release showed its slowest revenue growth in years. Coming in at 3%, the company’s revenue decelerated dramatically. That was definitely a positive for Alibaba. Pinduoduo’s popular group purchase model in agricultural goods could have made it a real competitor to BABA had it branched out into more product categories. Now that PDD’s growth is slowing down, it looks like the possible competitive threat has eased off. (<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/NW/1123192288\" target=\"_blank\">Pinduoduo has announced its quarterly results</a>)</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Alibaba’s Q4 results are particularly encouraging when we consider them along with the company’s valuation. Alibaba’s recent earnings beat expectations, yet the company’s stock is still very cheap, boasting valuation multiples like:</p><ul><li><p>Adjusted P/E: 9.5;</p></li><li><p>GAAP P/E: 21.9;</p></li><li><p>Price/sales: 1.69;</p></li><li><p>Price/book: 1.44;</p></li><li><p>Price/operating cash flow: 8.</p></li></ul><p>The above metrics strongly hint at a company that may be undervalued. BABA is, quite frankly, priced like it’s going out of business. Its price/book multiple is approaching a level where the company would be trading below the value of assets, net of debt, if its stock went much lower. In fact, Alibaba could reach the point where it’s trading below book value this quarter if its stock portfolio increases in value.</p><p>Alibaba is known to hold a lot of stocks and other marketable securities on its balance sheet. In recent quarters, this factor has been reducing the company’s GAAP earnings, as GAAP accounting rules state that you have to subtract mark-to-market losses on securities from net income, even if the losses weren’t realized. It’s a peculiar accounting rule that Warren Buffett has criticized due to it producing “earnings” that don’t reflect operating performance. It is true that mark-to-market accounting produces earnings that have nothing to do with business performance. However, this exact same factor could push BABA’s assets and earnings higher in the future, leading to an even lower price/book multiple and even greater perceived undervaluation.</p><p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p><p>As we’ve seen, Alibaba is a strong player in China’s eCommerce industry that just put out a better-than-expected earnings release. Its stock is also very cheap. Taking all of this together, one gets the sense of a great value.</p><p>However, there are several risks and challenges to keep in mind, including:</p><ul><li><p><b>June quarter earnings.</b>It’s quite likely that Alibaba’s June quarter earnings will be weak. There were at least two full months of severe lockdowns in several Chinese cities in Q1. At the peak, more than 400 million Chinese citizens were locked down. There were some lockdowns in the just-reported quarter, but they weren’t as strict, and they didn’t affect as many people. There are already early signs that the Q2 lockdowns hit BABA pretty hard. BABA’s web traffic severely declined in April after rising in March. This suggests that, possibly, Chinese citizens were spending less money due to lockdown-induced supply constraints, or income loss.</p></li><li><p><b>Lockdowns.</b>Related to the June quarter earnings release is the prospect of Chinese lockdowns in general. China still officially maintains a “Zero COVID policy” which means that it is willing to use lockdowns to combat even small numbers of cases. This can lead to less retail spending when it occurs, which is a bad thing for online retail platforms like the ones BABA operates.</p></li><li><p><b>A renewed tech regulation.</b>China’s tech regulation was the biggest single factor behind Alibaba’s crash in 2021. The regulation resulted in BABA taking a $2.8 billion fine, a tax hike, and a host of other challenges. At the start of this year, it was looking like the regulation was still ongoing. The government was just about to launch a new inquiry into Ant Group when the COVID outbreak hit and the anti-trust inquiries were put on hold. Since then, China’s policy has been to support the markets rather than pressure them. However, there is always the possibility that the regulation will flare up again. If it does, it could cost BABA some money.</p></li><li><p><b>The macro climate.</b>China’s macroeconomic environment could be considered a short term risk factor for Alibaba. China’s retail spending growth was -11% in April. It could continue to be negative if China continues to pursue its aggressive stance on COVID. Additionally, China will face softer export growth should the U.S. enter the recession that many expect, and is still dealing with the economic fallout from the collapse of Evergrande. Taking all of these factors together, we get a picture of a decidedly challenging macroeconomic environment.</p></li></ul><p>If you’re considering taking a position in Alibaba, you’ll want to give the risk factors above a good hard mulling over. To my mind, BABA stock is a good value, because the stock is cheap and the company has a good competitive position. But a stock facing this many risk factors isn’t for everyone. It has been a volatile ride so far, and probably will be for the foreseeable future.</p><p>As for me, I plan to continue holding BABA. For an investor with a long time horizon, there are few better deals in the market today. A lot of people in this market speak of <b>Meta Platforms, Inc.</b> (FB) as a value stock, yet its multiples areall higher than BABA’sdespite it having slower revenue growth. Alibaba is the kind of rock bottom bargain you rarely see anywhere other than China, which is why I remain long this stock despite all of the risk factors it faces.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba Earnings: Back Up The Truck</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 Earnings: Back Up The Truck\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-27 22:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAlibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.Expectations were low heading into the release.At this point, BABA has gotten beaten down to the point of ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BABA":"阿里巴巴"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2238387186","content_text":"SummaryAlibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.Expectations were low heading into the release.At this point, BABA has gotten beaten down to the point of absurdity.In this article I dissect Alibaba's Q4 earnings release and explain why I'm still long despite all the challenges.Michael Loccisano/Getty Images EntertainmentAlibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) just released its fourth quarter earnings.

The company was caught off guard by some lockdowns in major Chinese cities, but it wasn’t until Q2 (Alibaba’s fiscal Q1) that they became truly widespread. Additionally, BABA enjoyed a significant increase in web traffic in Q4 across virtually all of its online channels. Despite these two factors working in BABA’s favor, analysts still cut estimates repeatedly throughout the quarter, leading to weak expectations.So, Alibaba had many advantages heading into this release. Which is why it was not surprising that earnings beat expectations. In Q4, Alibaba put most of its 2021 tech crackdown damage behind it. We’re beginning to see the effects of that today.With a solid fourth quarter under its belt, Alibaba has a good foundation to build from. While the upcoming quarterly release is likely to be weak due to China’s heavy Q2 lockdowns, BABA will once again have soft comparisons in the September quarter. This lends credence to the idea that 2022 will be the year when Alibaba recovers–although the process may take longer than we initially thought.Earnings RecapFor the fourth quarter, Alibaba delivered strong earnings, beating on both the top and bottom lines. Some highlights include:Revenue: $32.1 billion, up 9% (beat by $3 billion);Operating income: $2.6 billion;GAAP earnings: $-2.5 billion;Adjusted earnings: $3.1 billion;Diluted EPS: $1.25, down 23% (beat by $0.16);Operating cash flow: $-1.1 billion.Pretty strong results, all things considered. Even with lockdowns taking place in the fourth quarter, Alibaba managed to grow its revenue by billions of dollars.A few metrics in the release were particularly surprising, such as the 8% growth in core commerce. Going into the release, many investors expected the core eCommerce segment to weigh on results, as China was going through lockdowns in Q4. In past quarters, that segment underperformed relative to the cloud segment. This time around, that trend reversed. In Q4, Alibaba Cloud lost its biggest customer, which resulted in the segment growing by only 21%. Alibaba Cloud has long been considered a major potential growth driver for BABA, so its comparative under-performance in Q4 was a disappointment.The cloud segment is worth exploring in detail. In the earnings release, BABA said that “a top customer” cut out its use of Alibaba cloud due to slowing demand in China. It did not specify the identity of the customer. The customer also apparently ceased using Alibaba Cloud in its international business, though it declined to say why. According to Alibaba, cloud growth would have been 29% had this customer not stopped using the service.So, although Alibaba Cloud growth decelerated significantly in Q4, there is reason to think that it will pick up again. The 29% growth that Alibaba Cloud would have delivered had this customer still been in the picture would have been commensurate with past quarters, meaning that BABA would not have experienced deceleration. If Alibaba can get that customer back, then its growth could accelerate in the near future.Competitors’ ResultsTo truly understand Alibaba’s Q4 results, we need to check in on how the company’s competitors have been doing. It’s well known that China’s government wants to increase competition in the tech sector, and this has been cited as a headwind for Alibaba. Given this, it makes sense to look at some of BABA’s competitors’ recent releases. Armed with this information, we can gauge how much of an advantage or disadvantage BABA has going forward.First, let’s look at JD.com, Inc. (JD). JD’s earnings release was mixed. Revenue beat expectations, growing 18%, as did adjusted earnings. GAAP earnings, on the other hand, missed by a pretty wide margin, coming in at $-0.29, compared to $-0.02 expected. It wasn’t a great release, but the growth in revenue shows that one of BABA’s competitors is increasing its presence in the market. That could be thought of as a negative for BABA.Next up we have Pinduoduo Inc. (PDD). PDD’s most recent release showed its slowest revenue growth in years. Coming in at 3%, the company’s revenue decelerated dramatically. That was definitely a positive for Alibaba. Pinduoduo’s popular group purchase model in agricultural goods could have made it a real competitor to BABA had it branched out into more product categories. Now that PDD’s growth is slowing down, it looks like the possible competitive threat has eased off. (Pinduoduo has announced its quarterly results)ValuationAlibaba’s Q4 results are particularly encouraging when we consider them along with the company’s valuation. Alibaba’s recent earnings beat expectations, yet the company’s stock is still very cheap, boasting valuation multiples like:Adjusted P/E: 9.5;GAAP P/E: 21.9;Price/sales: 1.69;Price/book: 1.44;Price/operating cash flow: 8.The above metrics strongly hint at a company that may be undervalued. BABA is, quite frankly, priced like it’s going out of business. Its price/book multiple is approaching a level where the company would be trading below the value of assets, net of debt, if its stock went much lower. In fact, Alibaba could reach the point where it’s trading below book value this quarter if its stock portfolio increases in value.Alibaba is known to hold a lot of stocks and other marketable securities on its balance sheet. In recent quarters, this factor has been reducing the company’s GAAP earnings, as GAAP accounting rules state that you have to subtract mark-to-market losses on securities from net income, even if the losses weren’t realized. It’s a peculiar accounting rule that Warren Buffett has criticized due to it producing “earnings” that don’t reflect operating performance. It is true that mark-to-market accounting produces earnings that have nothing to do with business performance. However, this exact same factor could push BABA’s assets and earnings higher in the future, leading to an even lower price/book multiple and even greater perceived undervaluation.Risks and ChallengesAs we’ve seen, Alibaba is a strong player in China’s eCommerce industry that just put out a better-than-expected earnings release. Its stock is also very cheap. Taking all of this together, one gets the sense of a great value.However, there are several risks and challenges to keep in mind, including:June quarter earnings.It’s quite likely that Alibaba’s June quarter earnings will be weak. There were at least two full months of severe lockdowns in several Chinese cities in Q1. At the peak, more than 400 million Chinese citizens were locked down. There were some lockdowns in the just-reported quarter, but they weren’t as strict, and they didn’t affect as many people. There are already early signs that the Q2 lockdowns hit BABA pretty hard. BABA’s web traffic severely declined in April after rising in March. This suggests that, possibly, Chinese citizens were spending less money due to lockdown-induced supply constraints, or income loss.Lockdowns.Related to the June quarter earnings release is the prospect of Chinese lockdowns in general. China still officially maintains a “Zero COVID policy” which means that it is willing to use lockdowns to combat even small numbers of cases. This can lead to less retail spending when it occurs, which is a bad thing for online retail platforms like the ones BABA operates.A renewed tech regulation.China’s tech regulation was the biggest single factor behind Alibaba’s crash in 2021. The regulation resulted in BABA taking a $2.8 billion fine, a tax hike, and a host of other challenges. At the start of this year, it was looking like the regulation was still ongoing. The government was just about to launch a new inquiry into Ant Group when the COVID outbreak hit and the anti-trust inquiries were put on hold. Since then, China’s policy has been to support the markets rather than pressure them. However, there is always the possibility that the regulation will flare up again. If it does, it could cost BABA some money.The macro climate.China’s macroeconomic environment could be considered a short term risk factor for Alibaba. China’s retail spending growth was -11% in April. It could continue to be negative if China continues to pursue its aggressive stance on COVID. Additionally, China will face softer export growth should the U.S. enter the recession that many expect, and is still dealing with the economic fallout from the collapse of Evergrande. Taking all of these factors together, we get a picture of a decidedly challenging macroeconomic environment.If you’re considering taking a position in Alibaba, you’ll want to give the risk factors above a good hard mulling over. To my mind, BABA stock is a good value, because the stock is cheap and the company has a good competitive position. But a stock facing this many risk factors isn’t for everyone. It has been a volatile ride so far, and probably will be for the foreseeable future.As for me, I plan to continue holding BABA. For an investor with a long time horizon, there are few better deals in the market today. A lot of people in this market speak of Meta Platforms, Inc. (FB) as a value stock, yet its multiples areall higher than BABA’sdespite it having slower revenue growth. Alibaba is the kind of rock bottom bargain you rarely see anywhere other than China, which is why I remain long this stock despite all of the risk factors it faces.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9901666805,"gmtCreate":1659191058907,"gmtModify":1676536270223,"author":{"id":"3582513679795437","authorId":"3582513679795437","name":"SebTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5de852f0fcd69c2aa7e1fde0411cbe57","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582513679795437","authorIdStr":"3582513679795437"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9901666805","repostId":"2255551011","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2255551011","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1659143138,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2255551011?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-30 09:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buy or Sell Apple Stock After Its Strong Earnings? 5 Reasons to Pick It Up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2255551011","media":"Barrons","summary":"Apple's better-than-expected earnings report helped shake off investor concerns about how a slowdown","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Apple&#39;s better-than-expected earnings report helped shake off investor concerns about how a slowdown in consumer demand would impact the tech giant.

And if Friday’s data comes in roughly in line with expectations, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and members of the central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee will likely welcome the subtle slowdown without adjusting their path forward, economists say.“With inflation still raging and FOMC members, including Chair Powell, acknowledging that an ‘over-tight’ labor market is contributing to price pressures, we suspect the Fed will be undeterred by the recent slowing in activity both inside and outside the labor market,” Wells Fargo economists Sarah House and Michael Pugliese wrote Thursday. “And it will push ahead with raising the fed funds rate to around 4% in the coming months.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":797,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9025801257,"gmtCreate":1653650297679,"gmtModify":1676535321055,"author":{"id":"3582513679795437","authorId":"3582513679795437","name":"SebTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5de852f0fcd69c2aa7e1fde0411cbe57","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582513679795437","authorIdStr":"3582513679795437"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9025801257","repostId":"2238387186","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2238387186","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1653660205,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2238387186?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-27 22:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Earnings: Back Up The Truck","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2238387186","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryAlibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.Expectatio","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Alibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.</li><li>Expectations were low heading into the release.</li><li>At this point, BABA has gotten beaten down to the point of absurdity.</li><li>In this article I dissect Alibaba&#39;s Q4 earnings release and explain why I&#39;m still long despite all the challenges.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb3d9594de3e32459d994aa3977dc753\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"718\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Michael Loccisano/Getty Images Entertainment</span></p><p><b>Alibaba Group Holding Limited</b> (NYSE:BABA) just released its fourth quarter earnings. The release beat expectations on revenue as well as on EPS. The $3 billion year-over-year increase in revenue showed that BABA was able to crankout strong sales growth even amid China’s lockdowns and other macroeconomic headwinds.</p><p>Alibaba had a lot of things working in its favor going into its Q2 release. The company had negative earnings in the prior year quarter, which meant that the comparisons were soft this time around. The company was caught off guard by some lockdowns in major Chinese cities, but it wasn’t until Q2 (Alibaba’s fiscal Q1) that they became truly widespread. Additionally, BABA enjoyed a significant increase in web traffic in Q4 across virtually all of its online channels. Despite these two factors working in BABA’s favor, analysts still cut estimates repeatedly throughout the quarter, leading to weak expectations.</p><p>So, Alibaba had many advantages heading into this release. Which is why it was not surprising that earnings beat expectations. In Q4, Alibaba put most of its 2021 tech crackdown damage behind it. We’re beginning to see the effects of that today.</p><p>With a solid fourth quarter under its belt, Alibaba has a good foundation to build from. While the upcoming quarterly release is likely to be weak due to China’s heavy Q2 lockdowns, BABA will once again have soft comparisons in the September quarter. This lends credence to the idea that 2022 will be the year when Alibaba recovers–although the process may take longer than we initially thought.</p><p><b>Earnings Recap</b></p><p>For the fourth quarter, Alibaba delivered strong earnings, beating on both the top and bottom lines. Some highlights include:</p><ul><li><p>Revenue: $32.1 billion, up 9% (beat by $3 billion);</p></li><li><p>Operating income: $2.6 billion;</p></li><li><p>GAAP earnings: $-2.5 billion;</p></li><li><p>Adjusted earnings: $3.1 billion;</p></li><li><p>Diluted EPS: $1.25, down 23% (beat by $0.16);</p></li><li><p>Operating cash flow: $-1.1 billion.</p></li></ul><p>Pretty strong results, all things considered. Even with lockdowns taking place in the fourth quarter, Alibaba managed to grow its revenue by billions of dollars.</p><p>A few metrics in the release were particularly surprising, such as the 8% growth in core commerce. Going into the release, many investors expected the core eCommerce segment to weigh on results, as China was going through lockdowns in Q4. In past quarters, that segment underperformed relative to the cloud segment. This time around, that trend reversed. In Q4, Alibaba Cloud lost its biggest customer, which resulted in the segment growing by only 21%. Alibaba Cloud has long been considered a major potential growth driver for BABA, so its comparative under-performance in Q4 was a disappointment.</p><p>The cloud segment is worth exploring in detail. In the earnings release, BABA said that “a top customer” cut out its use of Alibaba cloud due to slowing demand in China. It did not specify the identity of the customer. The customer also apparently ceased using Alibaba Cloud in its international business, though it declined to say why. According to Alibaba, cloud growth would have been 29% had this customer not stopped using the service.</p><p>So, although Alibaba Cloud growth decelerated significantly in Q4, there is reason to think that it will pick up again. The 29% growth that Alibaba Cloud would have delivered had this customer still been in the picture would have been commensurate with past quarters, meaning that BABA would not have experienced deceleration. If Alibaba can get that customer back, then its growth could accelerate in the near future.</p><p><b>Competitors’ Results</b></p><p>To truly understand Alibaba’s Q4 results, we need to check in on how the company’s competitors have been doing. It’s well known that China’s government wants to increase competition in the tech sector, and this has been cited as a headwind for Alibaba. Given this, it makes sense to look at some of BABA’s competitors’ recent releases. Armed with this information, we can gauge how much of an advantage or disadvantage BABA has going forward.</p><p>First, let’s look at <b>JD.com, Inc.</b> (JD). JD’s earnings release was mixed. Revenue beat expectations, growing 18%, as did adjusted earnings. GAAP earnings, on the other hand, missed by a pretty wide margin, coming in at $-0.29, compared to $-0.02 expected. It wasn’t a great release, but the growth in revenue shows that one of BABA’s competitors is increasing its presence in the market. That could be thought of as a negative for BABA.</p><p>Next up we have <b>Pinduoduo Inc.</b> (PDD). PDD’s most recent release showed its slowest revenue growth in years. Coming in at 3%, the company’s revenue decelerated dramatically. That was definitely a positive for Alibaba. Pinduoduo’s popular group purchase model in agricultural goods could have made it a real competitor to BABA had it branched out into more product categories. Now that PDD’s growth is slowing down, it looks like the possible competitive threat has eased off. (<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/NW/1123192288\" target=\"_blank\">Pinduoduo has announced its quarterly results</a>)</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Alibaba’s Q4 results are particularly encouraging when we consider them along with the company’s valuation. Alibaba’s recent earnings beat expectations, yet the company’s stock is still very cheap, boasting valuation multiples like:</p><ul><li><p>Adjusted P/E: 9.5;</p></li><li><p>GAAP P/E: 21.9;</p></li><li><p>Price/sales: 1.69;</p></li><li><p>Price/book: 1.44;</p></li><li><p>Price/operating cash flow: 8.</p></li></ul><p>The above metrics strongly hint at a company that may be undervalued. BABA is, quite frankly, priced like it’s going out of business. Its price/book multiple is approaching a level where the company would be trading below the value of assets, net of debt, if its stock went much lower. In fact, Alibaba could reach the point where it’s trading below book value this quarter if its stock portfolio increases in value.</p><p>Alibaba is known to hold a lot of stocks and other marketable securities on its balance sheet. In recent quarters, this factor has been reducing the company’s GAAP earnings, as GAAP accounting rules state that you have to subtract mark-to-market losses on securities from net income, even if the losses weren’t realized. It’s a peculiar accounting rule that Warren Buffett has criticized due to it producing “earnings” that don’t reflect operating performance. It is true that mark-to-market accounting produces earnings that have nothing to do with business performance. However, this exact same factor could push BABA’s assets and earnings higher in the future, leading to an even lower price/book multiple and even greater perceived undervaluation.</p><p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p><p>As we’ve seen, Alibaba is a strong player in China’s eCommerce industry that just put out a better-than-expected earnings release. Its stock is also very cheap. Taking all of this together, one gets the sense of a great value.</p><p>However, there are several risks and challenges to keep in mind, including:</p><ul><li><p><b>June quarter earnings.</b>It’s quite likely that Alibaba’s June quarter earnings will be weak. There were at least two full months of severe lockdowns in several Chinese cities in Q1. At the peak, more than 400 million Chinese citizens were locked down. There were some lockdowns in the just-reported quarter, but they weren’t as strict, and they didn’t affect as many people. There are already early signs that the Q2 lockdowns hit BABA pretty hard. BABA’s web traffic severely declined in April after rising in March. This suggests that, possibly, Chinese citizens were spending less money due to lockdown-induced supply constraints, or income loss.</p></li><li><p><b>Lockdowns.</b>Related to the June quarter earnings release is the prospect of Chinese lockdowns in general. China still officially maintains a “Zero COVID policy” which means that it is willing to use lockdowns to combat even small numbers of cases. This can lead to less retail spending when it occurs, which is a bad thing for online retail platforms like the ones BABA operates.</p></li><li><p><b>A renewed tech regulation.</b>China’s tech regulation was the biggest single factor behind Alibaba’s crash in 2021. The regulation resulted in BABA taking a $2.8 billion fine, a tax hike, and a host of other challenges. At the start of this year, it was looking like the regulation was still ongoing. The government was just about to launch a new inquiry into Ant Group when the COVID outbreak hit and the anti-trust inquiries were put on hold. Since then, China’s policy has been to support the markets rather than pressure them. However, there is always the possibility that the regulation will flare up again. If it does, it could cost BABA some money.</p></li><li><p><b>The macro climate.</b>China’s macroeconomic environment could be considered a short term risk factor for Alibaba. China’s retail spending growth was -11% in April. It could continue to be negative if China continues to pursue its aggressive stance on COVID. Additionally, China will face softer export growth should the U.S. enter the recession that many expect, and is still dealing with the economic fallout from the collapse of Evergrande. Taking all of these factors together, we get a picture of a decidedly challenging macroeconomic environment.</p></li></ul><p>If you’re considering taking a position in Alibaba, you’ll want to give the risk factors above a good hard mulling over. To my mind, BABA stock is a good value, because the stock is cheap and the company has a good competitive position. But a stock facing this many risk factors isn’t for everyone. It has been a volatile ride so far, and probably will be for the foreseeable future.</p><p>As for me, I plan to continue holding BABA. For an investor with a long time horizon, there are few better deals in the market today. A lot of people in this market speak of <b>Meta Platforms, Inc.</b> (FB) as a value stock, yet its multiples areall higher than BABA’sdespite it having slower revenue growth. Alibaba is the kind of rock bottom bargain you rarely see anywhere other than China, which is why I remain long this stock despite all of the risk factors it faces.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba Earnings: Back Up The Truck</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 Earnings: Back Up The Truck\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-27 22:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAlibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.Expectations were low heading into the release.At this point, BABA has gotten beaten down to the point of ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BABA":"阿里巴巴"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2238387186","content_text":"SummaryAlibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.Expectations were low heading into the release.At this point, BABA has gotten beaten down to the point of absurdity.In this article I dissect Alibaba's Q4 earnings release and explain why I'm still long despite all the challenges.Michael Loccisano/Getty Images EntertainmentAlibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) just released its fourth quarter earnings.

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI was up 6%, slightly higher than the 5.9% estimate.</p><p>On a monthly basis, headline CPI was up 1% while core rose 0.6%, compared to respective estimates of 0.7% and 0.5%.</p><p>Surging shelter, gasoline and food prices all contributed to the increase.</p><p>Energy prices broadly rose 3.9% from a month ago, bringing the annual gain to 34.6%. Within the category, fuel oil posted a 16.9% monthly gain, pushing the 12-month surge to 106.7%.</p><p>Shelter costs, which account for about a one-third weighting on the CPI, rose 0.6% for the month, the fastest one-month gain since March 2004. The 5.5% 12-month gain is the most since February 1991.</p><p>Finally, food costs climbed another 1.2% in May, bringing the year-over-year gain to 10.1%.</p><p>Those escalating prices meant workers took another pay cut during the month. Real wages when accounting for inflation fell 0.6% in April, even though average hourly earnings rose 0.3%, according to a separate BLS release. On a 12-month basis, real average hourly earnings were down 3%.</p><p>Markets reacted negatively to the report, with stock futures indicating a sharply lower open on Wall Street and government bond yields rising.</p><p>“It’s hard to look at May’s inflation data and not be disappointed,” said Morning Consult chief economist John Leer. “We’re just not yet seeing any signs that we’re in the clear.”</p><p>Some of the biggest increases came in airfares (up 12.6% on the month), used cars and trucks (1.8%), and dairy products (2.9%). The vehicle costs had been considered a bellwether of the inflation surge and had been falling for the past three months, so the increase is a potentially ominous sign, as used vehicle prices are now up 16.1% over the past year. New vehicle prices rose 1% in May.</p><p>Friday’s numbers dented hopes that inflation may have peaked and adds to fears that the U.S. economy is nearing a recession.</p><p>The inflation report comes with the Federal Reserve in the early stages of a rate-hiking campaign to slow growth and bring down prices. May’s report likely solidifies the likelihood of multiple 50 basis point interest rate increases ahead.</p><p>“Obviously, nothing is good in this report,” said Julian Brigden, president of MI2 Partners, a global macroeconomic research firm. “There is nothing in there that’s going to give the Fed any cheer. ... I struggle to see how the Fed can back off.”</p><p>With 75 basis points of interest rate rises already under its belt, markets widely expect the Fed to continue tightening policy through the year and possibly into 2023. The central bank’s benchmark short-term borrowing rate is currently anchored around 0.75% -1% and is expected to rise to 2.75%-3% by the end of the year, according to CME Group estimates.</p><p>Inflation has been a political headache for the White House and President Joe Biden.</p><p>Administration officials pin most of the blame for the surge on supply chain issues related to the Covid pandemic, imbalances created by outsized demand for goods over services, and the Russian attack on Ukraine.</p><p>In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, Biden said he will push for further improvements to supply chains and continue efforts to bring down the budget deficit.</p><p>However, he and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen both have emphasized that much of the responsibility for lowering inflation belongs to the Fed. The administration has largely denied that the trillions of dollars directed toward Covid aid played a major role.</p><p>How much the central bank will have to raise rates remains to be seen. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers recently released a white paper with a team of other economists that suggests the Fed will need to go further than many are anticipating. The paper asserts that the current inflation predicament is closer to the 1980s situation than it appears because of differences in the ways that CPI is computed then and now.</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>Inflation Rose 8.6% in May, Highest Since 1981</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\">\nInflation Rose 8.6% in May, Highest Since 1981\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Tiger Newspress </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-06-10 20:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>KEY POINTS</p><ul><li>The consumer price index rose 8.6% in May from a year ago, the highest increase since December 1981.

Core inflation excluding food and energy rose 6%. Both were higher than expected.Surging food, gas and energy prices all contributed to the gain, with fuel oil up 106.7% over the past year.Shelter costs, which comprise about one-third of the CPI, rose at the fastest 12-month pace in 31 years.The rise in inflation meant workers lost more ground in May, with real wages declining 0.6% from April and 3% on a 12-month basis.Inflation accelerated further in May, with prices rising 8.6% from a year ago for the fastest increase since December 1981, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.The consumer price index, a wide-ranging measure of goods and services prices, increased even more than the 8.3% Dow Jones estimate.

That might not seem that cheap, especially considering that PLTR is still not yet profitable on a GAAP basis.

Below we can see the 3-year financial snapshot - operating expenses have already moderated significantly over the past year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38a660fc8e9db3df00e9207854e65d9c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"316\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>2021 10-K</p><p>I can see PLTR eventually sustaining at least 30% net margins over the long term. Assuming a 1.5x price to earnings growth ratio (‘PEG ratio’), I could see PLTR trading at around 13.5x sales by 2024. That presents 141% potential upside, representing around 40% compounded returns over the next 2.5 years. What are the key risks here? I am not concerned with financial solvency risk due to the cash-rich balance sheet and free cash flow generation. But if the company is unable to realize operating leverage, perhaps due to factors like competition, then it may not produce sufficient GAAP profits to justify an investment over the long term. This is a key risk when investing in any unprofitable company. Over the near term, another risk is if growth rates suddenly decelerate rapidly - this would likely lead to material compression in the valuation multiple. I have the view that PLTR has a long growth runway ahead of it but would be a quick seller if the company was unable to meet its outlook for 30% average growth. I rate the stock a strong buy as the underlying growth and multiple expansion potential both make this a compelling buy at current prices. PLTR is one of the core holdings in the Best of Breed portfolio and one I intend to hold over the long term.</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>Is Now A Good Time To Buy Palantir Stock?
