Discovery","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2278762489","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The streaming giants have very different approaches.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>In the world of subscription video-on-demand, <b>Netflix</b>Ā and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBD\">Warner Bros. Discovery</a></b> are two of the biggest players. Both offer streaming platforms that operate across multiple countries, and both have growing subscriber counts. But which of the two stocks is the better buy? Let's break it down.</p><h2>Content rules everything</h2><p>With the global streaming market expected to be worth almost $81 billion in 2022, competition among streamers has never been more intense. To contend with each other, the companies know they have to churn out movies and TV shows that people want to watch on a frequent cycle. This means content budgets have become somewhat of a yardstick for the streaming platforms and their ambitions.</p><p>Netflix committed $17 billion to new content this year, a figure it expects to spend again in 2023. Speaking on the company's recent fiscal 2022 third-quarter earnings, co-CEO Ted Sarandos suggested the figure was about right for Netflix. "I feel better and better about that $17 billion of content spend because what we have to do is be better and better at getting more impact per billion dollar spent than anyone else," he said.</p><p>Sarandos also confirmed the streamer will spend at the same rate in 2023, but suggested Netflix could "revisit that number" as revenue increases.</p><p>Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly planned to spend more than $18 billion on content this year, though that figure precedes the April merger that established the company. Since that time, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has focused on finding $3 billion worth of cuts, which has led to the shutdown of HBO Max productions in parts of Europe and the closure of CNN+ mere weeks after it launched.</p><p>"We will not overspend to drive subscriber growth," said Zaslav soon after the formation of Warner Bros.

Discovery are two of the biggest players. Both offer streaming platforms that operate across multiple countries, and both have growing subscriber counts. But which of the two stocks is the better buy? Let's break it down.Content rules everythingWith the global streaming market expected to be worth almost $81 billion in 2022, competition among streamers has never been more intense. To contend with each other, the companies know they have to churn out movies and TV shows that people want to watch on a frequent cycle. This means content budgets have become somewhat of a yardstick for the streaming platforms and their ambitions.Netflix committed $17 billion to new content this year, a figure it expects to spend again in 2023. Speaking on the company's recent fiscal 2022 third-quarter earnings, co-CEO Ted Sarandos suggested the figure was about right for Netflix. \"I feel better and better about that $17 billion of content spend because what we have to do is be better and better at getting more impact per billion dollar spent than anyone else,\" he said.Sarandos also confirmed the streamer will spend at the same rate in 2023, but suggested Netflix could \"revisit that number\" as revenue increases.Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly planned to spend more than $18 billion on content this year, though that figure precedes the April merger that established the company. Since that time, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has focused on finding $3 billion worth of cuts, which has led to the shutdown of HBO Max productions in parts of Europe and the closure of CNN+ mere weeks after it launched.\"We will not overspend to drive subscriber growth,\" said Zaslav soon after the formation of Warner Bros. Discovery. Instead, Zaslav suggested, the company would rely more on its deep programming library, suggesting those who \"produce and control the content [intellectual property] versus those that just write checks, are positioned to win.\"Chasing other businessesNetflix has made overtures that it too understands the value in owning intellectual properties.

The Covid-19 pand","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The automotive industry has shown remarkable resilience in recent turbulent times. The Covid-19 pandemic has stressed automotive manufacturing processes more than ever, thanks to export disruptions for needed parts and worldwide manufacturing shutdowns. One of the stocks that managed to handle these challenges well is<b>Ford</b>(NYSE:<b><u>F</u></b>). But can F stock continue this trajectory?</p><p>The U.S.-based automotive company turned in an incredible performance in 2021 and its stock price more than doubled, finishing the year at $20.77 per share. This rally continued in the first two weeks of 2022, as the F stock market capitalization advanced another 24.5%. The share price reached a 10-year high of $25.87 per share.</p><p>This strong performance has been attributable toĀ the accelerationĀ of Fordāselectric vehicleĀ offerings and managementās healthy handling of supply shortages compared to its peers.</p><p>But since then, Fordās shares plunged more than 20%, as the whole market pulled back and investors started pricing in the impacts of rising interest rates on the companyās enormous debt.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/037f7a36ec7da40590ff4c82968faeb9\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"577\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Charts by TradingView</p><p>Despite that, Ford shares dropped 4.1% year-to-date and have slightly outperformed the broader market. In the same period, theĀ <b>S&P 500 Index</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>SPY</u></b>), retreated 8.8%.</p><p><b>F Stockās Fundamentals Look Solid but Debt Remains High</b></p><p>In 2021, the automakerās sales are expected to increase robustly, up 9.2% year-on-year to$126.8 billion, and are estimated to accelerate by 16% to $146.8 billion in 2022, corresponding to a healthy net margin of 5.12%.</p><p>Moreover, the companyās bottom line is on an upward trend. Net income is anticipated to bounce next year by 14.2% to $7.52 billion, and by 15.9% to $8.71 billion in 2023.</p><p>More interestingly, Ford has managed to reduce net debt in 2021. Net debt reached $117.1 billion in the third quarter 2021, down 5.5% quarter-on-quarter and is down 14.9% year-on-year. This bodes well for the company in this rising interest rates environment.Ā Besides, F stockĀ recently announcedĀ that it redeemed āmore than $7.6 billion in high-cost debt in the fourth quarter,ā reducing the companyās interest expense and therefore strengthening its balance sheet.</p><p>That being said, the companyās leverage ratio established at 5.89x at the end of the third quarter, which remains high especially in this rising interest rate environment.</p><p><b>F Stock Valuation Is Stretched Compared to Its Peers</b></p><p>Compared to pure electric vehicle players of the industry, Fordās valuation metrics look cheap. The automaker currently trades at 10.29x estimated 2022 earnings per share and at 2022 EV/EBITDA of only 5.57x.</p><p>On the other side,Ā <b>Teslaās</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) 2022 P/E ratio is overstretched, with a ratio of 115x, whereas the electric vehicleās EV/EBITDA stands a 51.1x. Nevertheless, if we look at traditional automakers that are also adding EV production capacity,<b>GM</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GM</u></b>) trades at a discount in terms of 2022 P/E, with a ratio of 7.76x, whereasĀ <b>Volkswagen</b>Ā is nearly twice as devaluated as F stock, exchanging at only 5.74x of its 2022e P/E.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85f21a29243faed07ed5569e3c27113b\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"490\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><b>I See More Downside Than Upside in F Stock</b></p><p>Ford Motor will release its Q4 2021 earnings reportĀ on Feb. 3. In the last three quarters, the automaker beat analystsā earnings and revenue estimates. This constructive streak is likely to continue, as the company posted in its mid-January release and pointed out strong Q4 sales figures in China, which wereĀ up 11.9%Ā quarter-on-quarter to 167,000 units.</p><p>Yet recently, concerns about rising interest rates have weighed on Fās stock performance, which is not surprising given Fordās excessive leverage ratio.

The Covid-19 pandemic has stressed automotive manufacturing processes more than ever, thanks to export disruptions for needed parts and worldwide manufacturing shutdowns. One of the stocks that managed to handle these challenges well isFord(NYSE:F). But can F stock continue this trajectory?The U.S.-based automotive company turned in an incredible performance in 2021 and its stock price more than doubled, finishing the year at $20.77 per share. This rally continued in the first two weeks of 2022, as the F stock market capitalization advanced another 24.5%. The share price reached a 10-year high of $25.87 per share.This strong performance has been attributable toĀ the accelerationĀ of Fordāselectric vehicleĀ offerings and managementās healthy handling of supply shortages compared to its peers.But since then, Fordās shares plunged more than 20%, as the whole market pulled back and investors started pricing in the impacts of rising interest rates on the companyās enormous debt.Source: Charts by TradingViewDespite that, Ford shares dropped 4.1% year-to-date and have slightly outperformed the broader market. In the same period, theĀ S&P 500 Index(NYSEARCA:SPY), retreated 8.8%.F Stockās Fundamentals Look Solid but Debt Remains HighIn 2021, the automakerās sales are expected to increase robustly, up 9.2% year-on-year to$126.8 billion, and are estimated to accelerate by 16% to $146.8 billion in 2022, corresponding to a healthy net margin of 5.12%.Moreover, the companyās bottom line is on an upward trend. Net income is anticipated to bounce next year by 14.2% to $7.52 billion, and by 15.9% to $8.71 billion in 2023.More interestingly, Ford has managed to reduce net debt in 2021. Net debt reached $117.1 billion in the third quarter 2021, down 5.5% quarter-on-quarter and is down 14.9% year-on-year. This bodes well for the company in this rising interest rates environment.Ā Besides, F stockĀ recently announcedĀ that it redeemed āmore than $7.6 billion in high-cost debt in the fourth quarter,ā reducing the companyās interest expense and therefore strengthening its balance sheet.That being said, the companyās leverage ratio established at 5.89x at the end of the third quarter, which remains high especially in this rising interest rate environment.F Stock Valuation Is Stretched Compared to Its PeersCompared to pure electric vehicle players of the industry, Fordās valuation metrics look cheap. The automaker currently trades at 10.29x estimated 2022 earnings per share and at 2022 EV/EBITDA of only 5.57x.On the other side,Ā Teslaās(NASDAQ:TSLA) 2022 P/E ratio is overstretched, with a ratio of 115x, whereas the electric vehicleās EV/EBITDA stands a 51.1x. Nevertheless, if we look at traditional automakers that are also adding EV production capacity,GM(NYSE:GM) trades at a discount in terms of 2022 P/E, with a ratio of 7.76x, whereasĀ VolkswagenĀ is nearly twice as devaluated as F stock, exchanging at only 5.74x of its 2022e P/E.I See More Downside Than Upside in F StockFord Motor will release its Q4 2021 earnings reportĀ on Feb. 3. In the last three quarters, the automaker beat analystsā earnings and revenue estimates. This constructive streak is likely to continue, as the company posted in its mid-January release and pointed out strong Q4 sales figures in China, which wereĀ up 11.9%Ā quarter-on-quarter to 167,000 units.Yet recently, concerns about rising interest rates have weighed on Fās stock performance, which is not surprising given Fordās excessive leverage ratio. In my opinion, these headwinds are likely to endure in the near term, as investors turn towards companies with strong pricing power. Besides, F stock is trading at a premium compared to its traditional automotive peers, indicating that the stockās correction might not be over. Last but not least, semiconductor supply constraints should linger in 2022, weighing on Fordās operations and stock valuation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":623,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9099914193,"gmtCreate":1643289887202,"gmtModify":1676533797414,"author":{"id":"3582713512356996","authorId":"3582713512356996","name":"bluebluewind","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d428ee01617566b7bc3479c248876335","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582713512356996","authorIdStr":"3582713512356996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9099914193","repostId":"1115698107","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":289,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9099915738,"gmtCreate":1643289862048,"gmtModify":1676533797374,"author":{"id":"3582713512356996","authorId":"3582713512356996","name":"bluebluewind","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d428ee01617566b7bc3479c248876335","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582713512356996","authorIdStr":"3582713512356996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9099915738","repostId":"1195638889","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195638889","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":1643290624,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1195638889?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-27 21:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pre-Bellļ½Futures Rebound; AMD's $35 bln Deal for Xilinx Approved","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195638889","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Wall Street futures treaded water on Thursday, following hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve i","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Wall Street futures treaded water on Thursday, following hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve in the previous session, while attention turned to quarterly results from growth companies and final quarter GDP data.</p><p>The U.S. economy grew at a much better than expected pace to end 2021 though the acceleration likely tailed off as the omicron spread put a damper on hiring and further hindered the global supply chain.</p><p>Gross domestic product, the sum of all goods and services produced during the October-through-December period, increased at a 6.9% annualized pace, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.

The stocks' recent chart action is mixed.

A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities ā not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.</p><p>When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.</p><p>That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.</p><p>\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark ā¦ getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations ā And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago ā Forever</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\">\nThe Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations ā And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago ā Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Investors </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-05-28 23:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.Leisure, Travel Industry StocksShares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.Airline stocksĀ like American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.Hotel leader Marriott has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from Expedia rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.When Luxury Means More PrivacyLuxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.Vacation Shift Favors These Travel StocksHotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago.

The company isnāt currently working on a $25,000 vehicle that he said in 2020 Tesla would try to make in roughly three years.āWe have enough on our plate right now, too much on our plates, frankly,ā Musk said. āThe thing that overwhelmingly matters is when is the car autonomous.āTeslaās Full Self-Driving capability will become the most important source of profitability for the company over time, he said.With last yearās net income of $5.5 billion on a generally accepted accounting principles basis, Tesla clinched a milestone that its CEO touted toward the beginning of the call.āOur accumulated profitability since the inception of the company became positive, which I think makes us a real company at this point,ā Musk said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":289,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9099915738,"gmtCreate":1643289862048,"gmtModify":1676533797374,"author":{"id":"3582713512356996","authorId":"3582713512356996","name":"bluebluewind","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d428ee01617566b7bc3479c248876335","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582713512356996","authorIdStr":"3582713512356996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9099915738","repostId":"1195638889","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195638889","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":1643290624,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1195638889?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-27 21:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pre-Bellļ½Futures Rebound; AMD's $35 bln Deal for Xilinx Approved","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195638889","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Wall Street futures treaded water on Thursday, following hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve i","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Wall Street futures treaded water on Thursday, following hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve in the previous session, while attention turned to quarterly results from growth companies and final quarter GDP data.</p><p>The U.S. economy grew at a much better than expected pace to end 2021 though the acceleration likely tailed off as the omicron spread put a damper on hiring and further hindered the global supply chain.</p><p>Gross domestic product, the sum of all goods and services produced during the October-through-December period, increased at a 6.9% annualized pace, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.

Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138948877","media":"Investors","summary":"Vacation trends reveal shifts toward privacy, luxury and family, continuing a transformative period for leisure and travel stocks.","content":"<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same. For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities ā not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings.

Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided.

If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze.

It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons.

NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities ā not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections.
