These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.</p>\n<p><b>Are FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Looking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at least<i>were</i>a good investment in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae2b8e2b9caf99f74c28bafc10a0a872\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>With gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.</p>\n<p>These factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef865eea7af4369048432a9c85d1d83\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"540\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from&nbsp;Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.</p>\n<p><b>What Investors Can Expect From Apple</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate&nbsp;in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Both Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fd8043ca75dcb2c38f5ffa427c8c0b9\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Facebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3d49e0007aa77608b2992a9fef2142d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b16c9b3e2eac182d42686bcd8a98fc5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.</p>\n<p>To sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Alphabet</b></p>\n<p>When we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6360514d097081c546a0ccacfbdc7af6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Alphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhat<i>smaller</i>net cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.</p>\n<p>All in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Netflix And Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.</p>\n<p>This huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ccc2536fa3cadf06639a89e0b211b9a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>AMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation.

Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&amp;T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.</p>\n<p>Amazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.</p>\n<p><b>Which Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Not every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.</p>\n<p>Alphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.</p>\n<p>Depending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine.

However, valuations are significantly higher than they were historically.\nI believe that some of the other FAANG stocks are better, while others are worse. AAPL seems like a solid, but not a spectacular investment at today's valuation.\n\nMagioreStock/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nGoing with FAANG stocks, i.e. Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), and Alphabet (GOOG)(GOOGL), has been a winning trade in recent years, as those companies delivered strong gains for their owners. These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.\nAre FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?\nLooking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at leastwerea good investment in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nWith gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.\nThese factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:\nData by YCharts\nAt 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.\nWhat Investors Can Expect From Apple\nApple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.\nApple Versus Facebook\nBoth Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nFacebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:\nData by YCharts\nThe fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:\nData by YCharts\nWhile Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.\nTo sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.\nApple Versus Alphabet\nWhen we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.\nData by YCharts\nAlphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.\nNevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL?

Even though Sea is far from inexpensive, the premium you'd be paying takes into account that it has three exceptionally fast-growing operating segments.</p>\n<p>For the time being, Sea is generating virtually all of its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from its gaming division. Similar to online shopping, gaming benefited notably from people being stuck in their homes. Since Sea's mobile games target global audiences, and the pandemic is nowhere near over in many parts of the world, demand for gaming entertainment will likely remain robust. Over the past year (through the end of March), quarterly active paying users grew by 124%, with 12.3% of the company's total gamers now paying to play.</p>\n<p>Over the long run, Sea's crown jewel should be its e-commerce platform Shopee, which is consistently the most-popular shopping download in Southeastern Asia, and is gaining significant traction in Brazil. With a focus on emerging markets and regions where the middle class is growing at an incredible rate, Shopee saw gross orders jump 153% in the first quarter, with the gross merchandise value of these orders doubling to $12.6 billion. This is just the tip of the iceberg.</p>\n<p>Lastly, Sea's digital financial services division is bringing mobile wallet services to underbanked regions.

With more businesses than ever shifting their data online and into the cloud due to the pandemic, the importance of protecting enterprise and consumer data is greater than ever before. In short, demand for third-party cybersecurity solutions providers is soaring.</p>\n<p>While there is no shortage of cybersecurity specialists to choose from, what sets CrowdStrike apart is its cloud-native Falcon platform. Being built in the cloud, and relying on artificial intelligence, Falcon oversees approximately 6 trillion events each week. This is to say that CrowdStrike's core platform is getting smarter at recognizing and responding to potential threats over time. And in many instances, CrowdStrike's solutions are more efficient and cost-effective than on-premises security options.</p>\n<p>It's plainly evident from the company's operating results that Falcon is resonating with enterprise customers. It's been able to retain 98% of its customers for two consecutive years, and existing clients have spent between 23% and 47% more on a year-over-year basis for 12 straight quarters. Arguably even more impressive is that 64% of customers have purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions, which is up from 9% just four years ago. It's this rapid scaling from the company's enterprise clients that has CrowdStrike generating a subscription gross margin in the upper 70% range.</p>\n<p>Investors should expect CrowdStrike to grow by 30% or more on an annual basis through the midpoint of the decade.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget Crypto: These Supercharged Stocks Can Make You Rich</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\">\nForget Crypto: These Supercharged Stocks Can Make You Rich\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-23 18:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/23/forget-crypto-supercharged-stocks-make-you-rich/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market has long been the preferred creator of wealth.

It's exactly this discounting of the coming tightening, that is what Michael Wilson's mid-cycle transition is all about, and as the strategist adds, \"<b>fits nicely with our narrative for choppier equity markets and a 10-20% correction for the broader indices this year.\"</b></p>\n<p>Or to paraphrase Lester Burnham,<b>\"it's all downhill from here\"...</b>and as Wilson predicts, that won't change until M2 growth is done decelerating; or in other words, until the Fed unleashes another liquidity burst into the system \"<b><i>the transition is incomplete.\"</i></b></p>\n<p>Highlights aside, Wilson then elaborates on each point, noting that while last week's Fed meeting brought more uncertainty to markets one thing is becoming more obvious:<b>\"we are on the other side of the mountain with respect to monetary accommodation for this cycle.</b>\"</p>\n<p>Furthermore, having repeatedlywarned that the US is now mid-cycle...</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d95f296e4d1300cd3c95485a2333d270\" tg-width=\"906\" tg-height=\"571\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">... Wilson then takes a victory lap writing that what the Fed is doing is \"classic mid cycle transition behavior so investors really shouldn't be too surprised that the Fed would try to begin the long process of tightening.\"</p>\n<blockquote>\n After all, the US economy is booming and expected to grow close to 10 percent this year in nominal terms, a feat last witnessed in 1984. Meanwhile, no matter what one's view is on inflation being transient or not, prices are up significantly and likely higher than what the Fed, or most others were expecting 6 months ago. In other words, the facts and data have changed; therefore, so should Fed policy.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Nevertheless, as discussed here extensively, markets reacted as if this was a complete shock with both bonds and stocks trading as if the Fed had hiked rates already (instead of leaving over $2TN in QE still on deck) after the Fed meeting. Starting with bonds, both nominal 10 year yields and breakevens fell significantly.

It's exactly this discounting of the coming tightening, that is what Michael Wilson's mid-cycle transition is all about, and as the strategist adds, \"fits nicely with our narrative for choppier equity markets and a 10-20% correction for the broader indices this year.\"\nOr to paraphrase Lester Burnham,\"it's all downhill from here\"...and as Wilson predicts, that won't change until M2 growth is done decelerating; or in other words, until the Fed unleashes another liquidity burst into the system \"the transition is incomplete.\"\nHighlights aside, Wilson then elaborates on each point, noting that while last week's Fed meeting brought more uncertainty to markets one thing is becoming more obvious:\"we are on the other side of the mountain with respect to monetary accommodation for this cycle.\"\nFurthermore, having repeatedlywarned that the US is now mid-cycle...\n... Wilson then takes a victory lap writing that what the Fed is doing is \"classic mid cycle transition behavior so investors really shouldn't be too surprised that the Fed would try to begin the long process of tightening.\"\n\n After all, the US economy is booming and expected to grow close to 10 percent this year in nominal terms, a feat last witnessed in 1984. Meanwhile, no matter what one's view is on inflation being transient or not, prices are up significantly and likely higher than what the Fed, or most others were expecting 6 months ago. In other words, the facts and data have changed; therefore, so should Fed policy.\n\nNevertheless, as discussed here extensively, markets reacted as if this was a complete shock with both bonds and stocks trading as if the Fed had hiked rates already (instead of leaving over $2TN in QE still on deck) after the Fed meeting. Starting with bonds, both nominal 10 year yields and breakevens fell significantly. However, breakevens fell more leaving 10 year real rates higher by almost 20 bps Wednesday afternoon.\nWhile real rates did settle back a bit on Thursday and Friday, they have formed what appears to be a very solid base from which they are likely to rise as the economy continues to recover and the Fed appropriately pivots. In Wilson's view, \"this looks very similar to 2013, the year after Peak Fed. Back then, Peak Fed was QE3 which was announced on September 12, 2012. This time Peak Fed was the announcement of Average Inflation Targeting last summer.\"\n\nThat said, there is one notable difference between the taper tantrum and today: in 2013 \"tapering\" QE was a novel concept to markets and it came more abruptly with Bernanke's surprise mention during his congressional testimony on May 22, 2013.This time, the markets understand what tapering is and see its arrival as inevitable as the economy recovers.Therefore, while the path higher for real rates is unlikely to be as dramatic as witnessed in 2013, it is still likely to be higher from here and that is a change that will affect all risk markets, including equities, in Morgan Stanley's view.\nWilson makes one final observation from the chart above, which is how real rates moved substantiallybeforeBernanke's testimony in May 2013, prompting Wilson to notes that \"perhaps it wasn't as much of a surprise as believed, at least to markets.

The lender may yet dodge a higher bar for capital if it dials back those risks before the ECB sets 2022 requirements by the end of this year, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing the private information.</p>\n<p>The lucrative business has been a key contributor to the investment banking unit, and it’s taken on a greater significance this year as the trading rally that’s powered Deutsche Bank’s rebound so far is beginning to peter out. After taking market share from rivals, it’s now facing closer scrutiny from its regulator, which urged firms to be cautious in leveraged finance even before the pandemic raised the prospect of a wave of corporate defaults.</p>\n<p>“Leveraged loans are an important business for the economy and many banks, including Deutsche Bank,” said a spokesman for the German lender. “We have a strong track record in the business and we follow a prudent risk management approach in line with regulatory requirements. As a matter of principle we do not comment on dialog with our regulators.”</p>\n<p>An ECB spokeswoman declined to comment.</p>\n<p>The ECB has communicated “clear expectations” on leveraged loans to the banks under its purview, Supervisory Board Chair Andrea Enria said at a conference last week. However, “we have not seen enough responsiveness,” he said, without naming any lender.</p>\n<p>Deutsche Bank shares extended their decline in Frankfurt trading, falling as much as 1.6%. They have risen about 22% this year amid a wider rally for banking stocks.</p>\n<p>The lender is the biggest leveraged loan provider among banks based in the European Union, and the business has been a focus of regulators before. Last year, the ECB recommended that the lender suspend parts of the operations after it identified shortcomings in how it manages risk. Deutsche Bank took remedial action, butdidn’t followthe ECB’s request to halt high-risk transactions until the issue was resolved, a person familiar said at the time.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1fbc232e7e66c2be3b6b159970c5fdaa\" tg-width=\"574\" tg-height=\"313\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Sewing needs the leveraged loan business to achieve his overriding goal of boosting profitability during the last leg of his four-year turnaround effort, which runs through the end of next year. The CEO has guided for stable revenue at the investment bank this year even as earnings from trading are expected to wane, meaning other units will have to step up.</p>\n<p>The leveraged loans unit made more than $300 million in revenue in 2020, helped by lead roles on some of the year’s biggest deals including$23 billion in loansto T-Mobile to acquire rival Sprint, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Deutsche Bank ranks seventh in U.S. leveraged loans, up from 10th place last year, the data show. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, it’s ranked third after gaining one level.</p>\n<p>The German lender said the business was the key driver behind a 5% increase in debt origination revenue in the first quarter from a year earlier.</p>\n<p>Deutsche Bank prides itself on its credit risk management, and it has been setting aside less money for doubtful loans after ratcheting up provisions last year at the onset of the pandemic. It was also among the few lenders to Archegos Capital Management that walked away unharmed when the family office collapsed earlier this year.</p>\n<p>At the same time, the bank has had to contend with string of new regulatory challenges. German regulatorBaFinin April expanded the mandate of its anti-money laundering monitor at Deutsche Bank, while the Federal Reserve admonished the lender over ongoing compliance failures.

The lender may yet dodge a higher bar for capital if it dials back those risks before the ECB sets 2022 requirements by the end of this year, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing the private information.\nThe lucrative business has been a key contributor to the investment banking unit, and it’s taken on a greater significance this year as the trading rally that’s powered Deutsche Bank’s rebound so far is beginning to peter out. After taking market share from rivals, it’s now facing closer scrutiny from its regulator, which urged firms to be cautious in leveraged finance even before the pandemic raised the prospect of a wave of corporate defaults.\n“Leveraged loans are an important business for the economy and many banks, including Deutsche Bank,” said a spokesman for the German lender. “We have a strong track record in the business and we follow a prudent risk management approach in line with regulatory requirements. As a matter of principle we do not comment on dialog with our regulators.”\nAn ECB spokeswoman declined to comment.\nThe ECB has communicated “clear expectations” on leveraged loans to the banks under its purview, Supervisory Board Chair Andrea Enria said at a conference last week. However, “we have not seen enough responsiveness,” he said, without naming any lender.\nDeutsche Bank shares extended their decline in Frankfurt trading, falling as much as 1.6%. They have risen about 22% this year amid a wider rally for banking stocks.\nThe lender is the biggest leveraged loan provider among banks based in the European Union, and the business has been a focus of regulators before. Last year, the ECB recommended that the lender suspend parts of the operations after it identified shortcomings in how it manages risk. Deutsche Bank took remedial action, butdidn’t followthe ECB’s request to halt high-risk transactions until the issue was resolved, a person familiar said at the time.\nSewing needs the leveraged loan business to achieve his overriding goal of boosting profitability during the last leg of his four-year turnaround effort, which runs through the end of next year. The CEO has guided for stable revenue at the investment bank this year even as earnings from trading are expected to wane, meaning other units will have to step up.\nThe leveraged loans unit made more than $300 million in revenue in 2020, helped by lead roles on some of the year’s biggest deals including$23 billion in loansto T-Mobile to acquire rival Sprint, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Deutsche Bank ranks seventh in U.S. leveraged loans, up from 10th place last year, the data show. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, it’s ranked third after gaining one level.\nThe German lender said the business was the key driver behind a 5% increase in debt origination revenue in the first quarter from a year earlier.\nDeutsche Bank prides itself on its credit risk management, and it has been setting aside less money for doubtful loans after ratcheting up provisions last year at the onset of the pandemic. It was also among the few lenders to Archegos Capital Management that walked away unharmed when the family office collapsed earlier this year.\nAt the same time, the bank has had to contend with string of new regulatory challenges. German regulatorBaFinin April expanded the mandate of its anti-money laundering monitor at Deutsche Bank, while the Federal Reserve admonished the lender over ongoing compliance failures. There’s an internal investigation into alleged misselling of derivatives in Spain, and Chief Risk Officer Stuart Lewis is facing a probe over his role in dividend arbitrage transactions known as Cum-Ex.\nSewing has made mending fences with regulators a top priority of his tenure following a decade of deteriorating relations, but the ECB’s focus on leveraged loans poses a new dilemma. If he chooses to comply with the request to cut risk, he will rein in a lucrative unit that he needs to meet his targets.\nIf he doesn’t, Sewing would send a confrontational signal to a powerful stakeholder, and the business could become significantly more costly to conduct. The ECB could tell Deutsche Bank to apply a capital add-on specifically tied to the leveraged loan unit or impose a higher overall capital requirement on Deutsche Bank to account for the risk it takes, said the people.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":368,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129188559,"gmtCreate":1624365167171,"gmtModify":1703834449090,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment","listText":"Like comment","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/129188559","repostId":"1110726798","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1110726798","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":1624362092,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1110726798?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-22 19:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Tuesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110726798","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stock futures rise to extend earlier gains.\nTorchlight Energy Price Gains Premarket.\nGameStop Jumps ","content":"<ul>\n <li>Stock futures rise to extend earlier gains.</li>\n <li>Torchlight Energy Price Gains Premarket.</li>\n <li>GameStop Jumps After Raising More Than $1 Billion in New Shares.</li>\n <li>GameStop, MicroVision, Sanderson Farms &amp; more made the biggest moves in the premarket.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>(June 22)&nbsp;Stock futures rose Tuesday morning to build on gains from a day earlier, with equities recovering from concerns over the path forward for monetary policy last week.</p>\n<p>At 7:47&nbsp;a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 23 points, or 0.07%, S&amp;P 500 e-minis were up 5.75 points, or 0.14%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 39.25 points, or 0.28%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/127a76b6bde89676371162b1b268b550\" tg-width=\"1242\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Stocks making the biggest moves in the premarket: GameStop, MicroVision, Sanderson Farms &amp; more</b></p>\n<p><b>1)&nbsp;GameStop(GME)</b> – The videogame retailer's stock jumped 6.8% in the premarket after it had announced it had completed a previously announced sale of 5 million common shares, raising $1.126 billion.</p>\n<p><b>2)&nbsp;MicroVision(MVIS)</b> – MicroVision shares slid 10.8% in the premarket after the laser technology company said it would sell up to $140 million of stock \"from time to time\" and use the funds for general corporate purposes.</p>\n<p><b>3)&nbsp;Sanderson Farms(SAFM) </b>– Sanderson Farms is exploring a possible sale, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to The Wall Street Journal.

They were impossible to miss:&nbsp;More than 7,500 spots featuring a frenetic, motor-mouthed spokesperson bombilating frenetically about the “in-saaaaaaaaane” discounts offered by the store.</p>\n<p>Crazy Eddie was never the biggest retail operation in the region. At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.</p>\n<p>But the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,<b>Eddie Antar.</b></p>\n<p><b>An Audacious Start:</b>Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York,&nbsp;on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.</p>\n<p>By 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.</p>\n<p>At the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price&nbsp;all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.</p>\n<p>Some manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.</p>\n<p>The stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.</p>\n<p>But how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work&nbsp;enabled them to put their ethics on hold.</p>\n<p>“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”</p>\n<p>Sights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.</p>\n<p>Antar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.</p>\n<p>The co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.</p>\n<p><b>An Advertising Assault:</b>The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion —&nbsp;he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.</p>\n<p>Antar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys. But Carroll decided to improvise, reading the copy in a mock-frenzied manner and creating a new closing line with “Crazy Eddie —&nbsp;his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”</p>\n<p>Rather than be upset by the deviation to the script, Antar was ecstatic with Carroll’s flippant approach as&nbsp;his delivery stood out wildly from the other advertising running on the station. Antar contracted Carroll to be his on-air pitchman for radio, and in 1975 Carroll was brought in front of the cameras for a television campaign.</p>\n<p>It was through the television commercials&nbsp;Crazy Eddie became the center of consumer attention. For the next 10 years, the commercials offered endless variations on the same set-up: Carroll wore the same outfit — a dark blazer and a turtleneck sweater —&nbsp;and stood surrounded by displays of the electronics being peddled.</p>\n<p>Each commercial ran about 30 seconds, but Carroll spoke so rapidly that it seemed he was trying to cover 60 seconds of a script in half of his allotted time.</p>\n<p>Carroll’s physical delivery was comically spastic, with flailing arms, bulging eyes and the most manic smile this side of the Joker.</p>\n<p>He would inevitably challenge shoppers to “shop around, get the best prices you can find, then bring ’em to Crazy Eddie and he’ll beat ’em.” And each commercial ended with Carroll stretching his arms out while proclaiming, “Crazy Eddie —&nbsp;his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”</p>\n<p>There would be a few variations to the presentation, including a Christmas season ad campaign and a “Christmas in August” summertime effort with Carroll dressed in a Santa suit while being pelted with Styrofoam snowballs and papery snowflakes.</p>\n<p>A couple of movie spoof spots put Carroll in parodies of “Casablanca,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Superman” and “10,” and one ad had a man in a gorilla suit grunting dialogue while subtitles offered simian-to-English translations.</p>\n<p><b>Not So Funny:</b>After the commercials came on in full force, Crazy Eddie generated $350 million in annual revenue during its prime years.</p>\n<p>But as Crazy Eddie grew, Antar’s approach to business became more problematic: cash payments were not recorded, the sales tax was pocketed and employees received off-the-books pay rather than paychecks that clearly deducted federal and state taxes.</p>\n<p>Antar helped finance his cousin Sam Antar’s college education and brought him on as a chief financial officer, but Sam would later recall this was not done out of love of family.</p>\n<p>“The whole purpose of the business was to commit premeditated fraud,” Sam recounted in an interview with MentalFloss.com. “My family put me through college to help them commit more sophisticated fraud in the future. I was trained to be a criminal.</p>\n<p>\"People have a certain idea of Crazy Eddie —&nbsp;in reality, it was a dark criminal enterprise.”</p>\n<p>Antar initially kept his ill-gotten gains hidden within his home, but later began sending the money far into the world. Offshore bank accounts in Canada, Gibraltar, Israel, Liberia, Luxembourg, Panama and Switzerland were set up, and by the early 1980s, Antar and his family were skimming upwards of $4 million annually in unreported income and unpaid taxes.</p>\n<p>Eventually, the graft became too big to easily hide.

They were impossible to miss: More than 7,500 spots featuring a frenetic, motor-mouthed spokesperson bombilating frenetically about the “in-saaaaaaaaane” discounts offered by the store.\nCrazy Eddie was never the biggest retail operation in the region. At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.\nBut the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,Eddie Antar.\nAn Audacious Start:Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York, on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.\nBy 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.\nAt the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.\nSome manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.\nThe stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.\nBut how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work enabled them to put their ethics on hold.\n“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”\nSights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.\nAntar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.\nThe co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.\nAn Advertising Assault:The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion — he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.\nAntar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys. But Carroll decided to improvise, reading the copy in a mock-frenzied manner and creating a new closing line with “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nRather than be upset by the deviation to the script, Antar was ecstatic with Carroll’s flippant approach as his delivery stood out wildly from the other advertising running on the station. Antar contracted Carroll to be his on-air pitchman for radio, and in 1975 Carroll was brought in front of the cameras for a television campaign.\nIt was through the television commercials Crazy Eddie became the center of consumer attention. For the next 10 years, the commercials offered endless variations on the same set-up: Carroll wore the same outfit — a dark blazer and a turtleneck sweater — and stood surrounded by displays of the electronics being peddled.\nEach commercial ran about 30 seconds, but Carroll spoke so rapidly that it seemed he was trying to cover 60 seconds of a script in half of his allotted time.\nCarroll’s physical delivery was comically spastic, with flailing arms, bulging eyes and the most manic smile this side of the Joker.\nHe would inevitably challenge shoppers to “shop around, get the best prices you can find, then bring ’em to Crazy Eddie and he’ll beat ’em.” And each commercial ended with Carroll stretching his arms out while proclaiming, “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nThere would be a few variations to the presentation, including a Christmas season ad campaign and a “Christmas in August” summertime effort with Carroll dressed in a Santa suit while being pelted with Styrofoam snowballs and papery snowflakes.\nA couple of movie spoof spots put Carroll in parodies of “Casablanca,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Superman” and “10,” and one ad had a man in a gorilla suit grunting dialogue while subtitles offered simian-to-English translations.\nNot So Funny:After the commercials came on in full force, Crazy Eddie generated $350 million in annual revenue during its prime years.\nBut as Crazy Eddie grew, Antar’s approach to business became more problematic: cash payments were not recorded, the sales tax was pocketed and employees received off-the-books pay rather than paychecks that clearly deducted federal and state taxes.\nAntar helped finance his cousin Sam Antar’s college education and brought him on as a chief financial officer, but Sam would later recall this was not done out of love of family.\n“The whole purpose of the business was to commit premeditated fraud,” Sam recounted in an interview with MentalFloss.com. “My family put me through college to help them commit more sophisticated fraud in the future. I was trained to be a criminal.\n\"People have a certain idea of Crazy Eddie — in reality, it was a dark criminal enterprise.”\nAntar initially kept his ill-gotten gains hidden within his home, but later began sending the money far into the world. Offshore bank accounts in Canada, Gibraltar, Israel, Liberia, Luxembourg, Panama and Switzerland were set up, and by the early 1980s, Antar and his family were skimming upwards of $4 million annually in unreported income and unpaid taxes.\nEventually, the graft became too big to easily hide. The solution, Antar theorized, was not to hide but to be in the greatest spotlight imaginable: Antar decided to take Crazy Eddie public.\nHello, Wall Street:Crazy Eddie conducted its initial public offering on Sept. 13, 1984, taking the NASDAQ symbol CRZY. The popularity of the television commercials helped bring in the initial wave of investor interest, while gourmet-level cooked books gave the phony impression of a well-run retail operation.\nTwo years after first trading at $8 a share, Crazy Eddie stock was at a split-adjusted $75 per share.\nWhy Antar believed he could continue with his shenanigans amid the added scrutiny given to public companies is a mystery, but by 1987 he found himself in lethal shoals.\nThe increased retail competition saw Crazy Eddie’s sales decline, resulting in a tumbling stock price.\nAntar announced his resignation in December 1986, but four months later he shocked shareholders by revealing he never stepped down — and while still at the helm, he sold off his shares in the company, gaining about $30 million in the transaction.\nThe company had begun planning to go private when an outside investor group successfully agitated to take over what they believed to be a struggling but respectable company. But when their auditors came in, they were flabbergasted to find grossly exaggerated inventories of up to $28 million, $20 million in phony debit memos to vendors and sales reports that were closer to fiction than accountancy.\nThe chain went bankrupt in 1989 and was forced to shut down its retail network. Federal and state investigations overwhelmed what remained of the Crazy Eddie and Antar was hit with an endless flurry of lawsuits.\n\"By any measure, this is a staggering securities fraud,\" saidMichael Chertoff, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, who accused the Antars of creating \"a giant bubble\" rather than a successful business.\nBy 1990, Antar disappeared after failing to appear at a court hearing. He obtained a phony U.S. passport issued to “Harry Page Shalom” and left the country. After a two-year global search, he was located in 1992 in a Tel Aviv suburb living under the name Alexander Stewart.\nAntar was brought back to the U.S. to find his cousin Sam Antar had taken a plea deal with federal prosecutors and agreed to testify against him in court.\n“There’s no better motivator than a 20-year prison term,” Sam Antar stated. “I didn’t cooperate because I found God. I cooperated to save my ass.”\nIn July 2013, Antar was found guilty of 17 counts of fraud and sentenced to 12½ years in prison. Two years later, his verdicts were overturned on appeal.\nRather than face the stress of another trial, Antar pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in May 1996 and was sentenced in 1997 to eight years in prison.\nThe Legend Lives On:Antar was released after four years in prison and federal law enforcement officials managed to find more than $120 million from his offshore bank accounts, which was repaid to investors.\nSeveral attempts occurred over the subsequent years to revive the Crazy Eddie brand, first as a brick-and-mortar retailer and then as an e-commerce venture, but all of these efforts failed.\nIn June 2019,Jon Turteltaub, the director of the “National Treasure” film franchise, announced plans to make a biopic about Antar.

TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":36,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3581623201234305","authorId":"3581623201234305","name":"Dad123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac4d85018dddfaed97e09d27a019c74f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581623201234305","authorIdStr":"3581623201234305"},"content":"Comment back please","text":"Comment back please","html":"Comment back please"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161295672,"gmtCreate":1623927669796,"gmtModify":1703823687420,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment","listText":"Like comment","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161295672","repostId":"2144310745","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":98,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169968009,"gmtCreate":1623812955901,"gmtModify":1703820270332,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment","listText":"Like comment","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169968009","repostId":"1174706157","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169961939,"gmtCreate":1623812901921,"gmtModify":1703820269040,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment","listText":"Like comment","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169961939","repostId":"2143549750","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169963571,"gmtCreate":1623812887693,"gmtModify":1703820268556,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment","listText":"Like comment","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169963571","repostId":"1180909583","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180909583","pubTimestamp":1623812789,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180909583?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 11:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SPACs could stage a summer comeback","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180909583","media":"CNN Business","summary":"London (CNN Business) - Special-purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, were one of the stock marke","content":"<p><b>London (CNN Business)&nbsp;-&nbsp;</b>Special-purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, were one of the stock market's hottest trends in early 2021, drawing in billionaires, celebrities and athletes.</p>\n<p>Then, in early spring, enthusiasm&nbsp;began to wane, as \"blank check\" firms — which raise money from investors and then go hunting for takeover targets — started to receive greater scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators in Washington.</p>\n<p>\"I have deep concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability that is a hallmark of the SPAC process,\" Rep.

But the guide was even more out of this world, showing analysts they're way off base in their models. This is causing the bears to move from one argument to another as each gets debunked through raw financial numbers. But now they're walking into a crypto debate where the bulls have more transparency and data on their side than any other time. Unfortunately, the crypto bear thesis is not the one to take this time around. Gaming revenue growth will not slow as there's a huge RTX 3000 series opportunity with less than 4% of the GPU market share, just as supply receives a much-needed reprieve with crypto migrating to a new SKU altogether. The market appreciates the mitigated risk with crypto revenue transparency, allowing the stock to sustain a premium valuation.</p>\n<p><b>Paper Launch, Remember?</b></p>\n<p>At first, the bears postulated the RTX 3000 series debut was a paper launch because there was such limited supply. Gamers across the internet were up in arms because so few cards could be bought, sold out everywhere. Limited supply has continued to plague the 3000 series since then.</p>\n<p>But Gaming revenue has gone from $1.65B before the RTX 3000 launch to $2.76B in the latest quarter, causing this bear talking point to fade over the last several months.</p>\n<p>If the 3000 cards were so limited in supply, what accounts for the consistent monstrous quarter-over-quarter growth in the Gaming division?</p>\n<p>Ah, I'm glad you asked.</p>\n<p>It's clearly the selling of more than just a few (paper) RTX 3000 cards.</p>\n<p><b>Crypto Is The Talking Point, Again</b></p>\n<p>That question brings us to the latest bear talking point - crypto. If the bears move to this point, they have given up on the paper launch argument. That's because to mine crypto, you need a powerful GPU, and that powerful GPU is an RTX 3000 series card. So either there are very few 3000 series being sold (paper launch) - which doesn't allow a crypto bubble to be an issue - or there are indeed enough 3000 cards to meaningfully show up on the top line and debate how much is due to crypto-related sales.</p>\n<p>But the crypto debate is much harder to prove for either side. Historically it has been a bit of a closed box in terms of what cards have been sold to crypto miners and which ones have gotten into \"real\" gamers' hands. The bears can point to this and say that whatever RTX 3000 series cards have been sold over the last several months were for crypto mining.</p>\n<p>And you might be wondering, \"Why is this a big deal? Revenue is revenue, regardless of who's buying the card.\"</p>\n<p>This might be true if it wasn't for the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency world. Mining crypto is a profitability equation of how high the hash rate of a processor is (how fast it can complete the crypto calculations on the blockchain to receive a reward) and how much that particular crypto is worth on the market. The higher the crypto price, the higher the incentive to mine (the reward is bigger in pure dollar terms).</p>\n<p>But in 2018, after the \"crypto bubble\" deflated when the price of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD) plummeted 85% from then all-time highs, Nvidia's revenue took a hit. Suddenly the cards of 2018 were not profitable to mine at depressed prices. It appeared a lot of the Gaming division sales were tied to crypto, or at least enough to knock growth off-kilter. As a result, the company experienced negative top-line growth throughout the following year.</p>\n<p>This is why the word crypto spoken by management, along with the crypto volatility with Bitcoin and Ethereum 50% off the latest all-time highs, brings a shiver down the market's spine.</p>\n<p>It sees 2018 playing out all over again.</p>\n<p><b>Facing The Crypto Thesis Head On</b></p>\n<p>However, bulls have more data over the last two quarters than they did in the 2018 crypt bust, with the strongest talking point to date coming just a few weeks ago. That point is the new RTX 3000 SKUs which will physically limit the hash rate of the cards, deterring miners from buying cards and opening up supply to gamers for typical GPU use.</p>\n<p>But if crypto is a major part of Gaming division revenue and the company is going to hardware limit the hash rates to make them unprofitable to mine crypto, future Gaming revenue will undoubtedly suffer.</p>\n<p>Right?</p>\n<p>Apparently not; guidance isn't telling us that story. With the current quarter running from May through July and the&nbsp;new \"hash lite\" RTX cards shipping at the end of May, guidance was still $6.3B in revenue versus The Street consensus of $5.48B.</p>\n<p>The hidden gem in the guide was the additional data bulls have needed for some time: a breakdown of revenue from CMPs (crypto mining processors). The company created CMPs to serve the industrial crypto mining community to provide better performance (by focusing processing power specifically on hashing and removing graphic rendering capabilities) and separate the supply between miners and gamers. This works to benefit investors as this breakdown of revenue allows for better risk analysis of overall revenue.</p>\n<p>And that is the key to the crypto cycle this time around.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;guide for FQ2 included $400M of revenue for CMP products&nbsp;(as shown under the OEM/Other category). You might see this as a huge risk (relative to overall revenue), but this has now made the risk a solid number. Before this CMP breakdown, the market and analysts had to rely on rough estimates based in wide ranges to understand how much the Gaming division had downside risk built into it due to crypto.</p>\n<p>Why has the market responded positively to the expected 158% quarter-over-quarter growth, which follows 114% sequential growth in the just reported quarter for CMP? Because the market can assess the risk to the downside now - uncertainty has been mitigated.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c92c645e86c40c1af4be579b56fab8\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>The market knows $400M is the mark now. The rest of the divisions are more understood, and channel checks are more accurate there. The question mark has been crypto, and the company is now being the most transparent about it.</p>\n<p><b>Outlook For Gaming</b></p>\n<p>This then begs the question: how much will be cannibalized from the Gaming division?</p>\n<p>Not much if we continue doing the math on the FQ2 guide. After backing out the $400M of CMP sales, we're left with a guide of $5.9B. That's still $420M of outperformance analysts didn't account for, while the Gaming division will technically see two \"hits\" to its growth, each for the same reason. Not only is there a separate product line for crypto, but the RTX cards will also have their inherent mining performance throttled. This should provide no reason to continue using RTX cards as the best value for mining (relatively cheap compared to ASICs with still profitable processing power).</p>\n<p>Of course, not all of the $420M guidance raise is for Gaming. Still, considering it's the largest division with 48% of revenue in the last quarter, it stands that analysts will meaningfully raise estimates for the Gaming division.</p>\n<p>But then, where's the Gaming growth coming from in the quarters ahead?</p>\n<p>Gamers will be the clear demand driver now. Supply should now make its way toward the gamers who have been trying to get a 3000 series card for the last eight months.

But the guide was even more out of this world, showing analysts they're way off base in their models. This is causing the bears to move from one argument to another as each gets debunked through raw financial numbers. But now they're walking into a crypto debate where the bulls have more transparency and data on their side than any other time. Unfortunately, the crypto bear thesis is not the one to take this time around. Gaming revenue growth will not slow as there's a huge RTX 3000 series opportunity with less than 4% of the GPU market share, just as supply receives a much-needed reprieve with crypto migrating to a new SKU altogether. The market appreciates the mitigated risk with crypto revenue transparency, allowing the stock to sustain a premium valuation.\nPaper Launch, Remember?\nAt first, the bears postulated the RTX 3000 series debut was a paper launch because there was such limited supply. Gamers across the internet were up in arms because so few cards could be bought, sold out everywhere. Limited supply has continued to plague the 3000 series since then.\nBut Gaming revenue has gone from $1.65B before the RTX 3000 launch to $2.76B in the latest quarter, causing this bear talking point to fade over the last several months.\nIf the 3000 cards were so limited in supply, what accounts for the consistent monstrous quarter-over-quarter growth in the Gaming division?\nAh, I'm glad you asked.\nIt's clearly the selling of more than just a few (paper) RTX 3000 cards.\nCrypto Is The Talking Point, Again\nThat question brings us to the latest bear talking point - crypto. If the bears move to this point, they have given up on the paper launch argument. That's because to mine crypto, you need a powerful GPU, and that powerful GPU is an RTX 3000 series card. So either there are very few 3000 series being sold (paper launch) - which doesn't allow a crypto bubble to be an issue - or there are indeed enough 3000 cards to meaningfully show up on the top line and debate how much is due to crypto-related sales.\nBut the crypto debate is much harder to prove for either side. Historically it has been a bit of a closed box in terms of what cards have been sold to crypto miners and which ones have gotten into \"real\" gamers' hands. The bears can point to this and say that whatever RTX 3000 series cards have been sold over the last several months were for crypto mining.\nAnd you might be wondering, \"Why is this a big deal? Revenue is revenue, regardless of who's buying the card.\"\nThis might be true if it wasn't for the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency world. Mining crypto is a profitability equation of how high the hash rate of a processor is (how fast it can complete the crypto calculations on the blockchain to receive a reward) and how much that particular crypto is worth on the market. The higher the crypto price, the higher the incentive to mine (the reward is bigger in pure dollar terms).\nBut in 2018, after the \"crypto bubble\" deflated when the price of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD) plummeted 85% from then all-time highs, Nvidia's revenue took a hit. Suddenly the cards of 2018 were not profitable to mine at depressed prices. It appeared a lot of the Gaming division sales were tied to crypto, or at least enough to knock growth off-kilter. As a result, the company experienced negative top-line growth throughout the following year.\nThis is why the word crypto spoken by management, along with the crypto volatility with Bitcoin and Ethereum 50% off the latest all-time highs, brings a shiver down the market's spine.\nIt sees 2018 playing out all over again.\nFacing The Crypto Thesis Head On\nHowever, bulls have more data over the last two quarters than they did in the 2018 crypt bust, with the strongest talking point to date coming just a few weeks ago. That point is the new RTX 3000 SKUs which will physically limit the hash rate of the cards, deterring miners from buying cards and opening up supply to gamers for typical GPU use.\nBut if crypto is a major part of Gaming division revenue and the company is going to hardware limit the hash rates to make them unprofitable to mine crypto, future Gaming revenue will undoubtedly suffer.\nRight?\nApparently not; guidance isn't telling us that story. With the current quarter running from May through July and the new \"hash lite\" RTX cards shipping at the end of May, guidance was still $6.3B in revenue versus The Street consensus of $5.48B.\nThe hidden gem in the guide was the additional data bulls have needed for some time: a breakdown of revenue from CMPs (crypto mining processors). The company created CMPs to serve the industrial crypto mining community to provide better performance (by focusing processing power specifically on hashing and removing graphic rendering capabilities) and separate the supply between miners and gamers. This works to benefit investors as this breakdown of revenue allows for better risk analysis of overall revenue.\nAnd that is the key to the crypto cycle this time around.\nThe guide for FQ2 included $400M of revenue for CMP products (as shown under the OEM/Other category). You might see this as a huge risk (relative to overall revenue), but this has now made the risk a solid number. Before this CMP breakdown, the market and analysts had to rely on rough estimates based in wide ranges to understand how much the Gaming division had downside risk built into it due to crypto.\nWhy has the market responded positively to the expected 158% quarter-over-quarter growth, which follows 114% sequential growth in the just reported quarter for CMP? Because the market can assess the risk to the downside now - uncertainty has been mitigated.\nData byYCharts\nThe market knows $400M is the mark now. The rest of the divisions are more understood, and channel checks are more accurate there. The question mark has been crypto, and the company is now being the most transparent about it.\nOutlook For Gaming\nThis then begs the question: how much will be cannibalized from the Gaming division?\nNot much if we continue doing the math on the FQ2 guide. After backing out the $400M of CMP sales, we're left with a guide of $5.9B. That's still $420M of outperformance analysts didn't account for, while the Gaming division will technically see two \"hits\" to its growth, each for the same reason. Not only is there a separate product line for crypto, but the RTX cards will also have their inherent mining performance throttled. This should provide no reason to continue using RTX cards as the best value for mining (relatively cheap compared to ASICs with still profitable processing power).\nOf course, not all of the $420M guidance raise is for Gaming. Still, considering it's the largest division with 48% of revenue in the last quarter, it stands that analysts will meaningfully raise estimates for the Gaming division.\nBut then, where's the Gaming growth coming from in the quarters ahead?\nGamers will be the clear demand driver now. Supply should now make its way toward the gamers who have been trying to get a 3000 series card for the last eight months. You don't have to Google very much to find folks still patiently - and impatiently - waiting for their 3000 series card.\nThere's a huge runway for upgrades from prior RTX cards and GTX cards as the market penetration of RTX 30XX cards is still less than 4%, around 3.64%, according to Steam's monthly hardware survey. And that's growing each month since January across the SKU board. This compares to the current gamer market share of all other Nvidia cards of 68.6%.\n(Source:Steam Hardware Survey)\nAnd if you're concerned about the lack of upgrades from RTX 20XX cards since they're only one generation behind, the non-RTX portion of the market makes up 55.11%. So there's a huge greenfield for upgrades to the 3000 series ahead with supply opening up to the real gamers.\nOutperformance To Continue\nManagement has been tackling the market's concerns head-on, contrary to 2018. It has been able to capitalize on a strained crypto market because its GPU-based CMP processors are above and beyond anything anyone has ever produced. This time it did it correctly with much better transparency - the market appreciates the calculated risk.\nThere's still further bullishness as Nvidia enters a crypto market dominated by ASICs, which tend to have very limited supply and very long lead times.

A whole lot has changed in the past few months, however, and today GME stock is at the center of an ongoing debate.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e8020621987a4451013eee074e20d4b\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: quietbits / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>On one side of the debate is the grassroots movement of traders who want to “stick it to the man.” And by “the man,” I mean the well-heeled short sellers who punished amateur long-side traders for years.</p>\n<p>But then, there’s another group of commentators who see things quite differently. Some folks view the GME stock price as divorced from reality as GameStop isn’t necessarily a thriving business.</p>\n<p>As you can see, there’s a lot to unpack here. Add into the mix some recent undercurrents suggesting that another short squeeze might be in the works, and you’ve got a market phenomenon that simply cannot be ignored.</p>\n<p><b>A Closer Look at GME Stock</b></p>\n<p>During the summer of 2020, the world was still reeling from the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. At that time, GME stock was floundering below the $5 level.</p>\n<p>Like a plane starting to take off, the share price ascended throughout the remainder of the year. By Dec. 31, it had reached $18, which already represented a substantial gain.</p>\n<p>Yet, that was a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to what was coming. Fueled by Reddit and Robinhood traders, GME stock rocketed to an astounding 52-week high of $483 on Jan. 27, 2021.</p>\n<p>I often say that price chasers get punished. Indeed, that’s precisely what happened next as GameStop shares crashed to the $40 area on Feb. 19.</p>\n<p>There’s been some recovery since that time. On May 21, the GME stock price settled at $176.79.</p>\n<p>At the same time, GameStop’s trailing 12-month earnings per share was -$3.31.</p>\n<p>This makes it difficult for me to recommend the stock, as negative earnings and a massive share-price run-up isn’t necessarily an auspicious combination.</p>\n<p>Tracking Social Sentiment</p>\n<p>“There’s aclear desire for a short squeezeeither today or very soon.” This is a recent quote from<b>HypeEquity</b>founder Travis Rehl, in reference to GME stock and/or meme stocks generally.</p>\n<p>HypeEquity is a platform which compiles social-media activity concerning individual stocks. The platform uses that data to track what HypeEquity calls “social sentiment analysis.”</p>\n<p>There’s a qualitative aspect to the data, as well as a quantitative one.</p>\n<p>The quantitative metric involves the mentions of a particular company on social media.

A whole lot has changed in the past few months, however, and today GME stock is at the center of an ongoing debate.\nSource: quietbits / Shutterstock.com\nOn one side of the debate is the grassroots movement of traders who want to “stick it to the man.” And by “the man,” I mean the well-heeled short sellers who punished amateur long-side traders for years.\nBut then, there’s another group of commentators who see things quite differently. Some folks view the GME stock price as divorced from reality as GameStop isn’t necessarily a thriving business.\nAs you can see, there’s a lot to unpack here. Add into the mix some recent undercurrents suggesting that another short squeeze might be in the works, and you’ve got a market phenomenon that simply cannot be ignored.\nA Closer Look at GME Stock\nDuring the summer of 2020, the world was still reeling from the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. At that time, GME stock was floundering below the $5 level.\nLike a plane starting to take off, the share price ascended throughout the remainder of the year. By Dec. 31, it had reached $18, which already represented a substantial gain.\nYet, that was a drop in the proverbial bucket compared to what was coming. Fueled by Reddit and Robinhood traders, GME stock rocketed to an astounding 52-week high of $483 on Jan. 27, 2021.\nI often say that price chasers get punished. Indeed, that’s precisely what happened next as GameStop shares crashed to the $40 area on Feb. 19.\nThere’s been some recovery since that time. On May 21, the GME stock price settled at $176.79.\nAt the same time, GameStop’s trailing 12-month earnings per share was -$3.31.\nThis makes it difficult for me to recommend the stock, as negative earnings and a massive share-price run-up isn’t necessarily an auspicious combination.\nTracking Social Sentiment\n“There’s aclear desire for a short squeezeeither today or very soon.” This is a recent quote fromHypeEquityfounder Travis Rehl, in reference to GME stock and/or meme stocks generally.\nHypeEquity is a platform which compiles social-media activity concerning individual stocks. The platform uses that data to track what HypeEquity calls “social sentiment analysis.”\nThere’s a qualitative aspect to the data, as well as a quantitative one.\nThe quantitative metric involves the mentions of a particular company on social media. And apparently, on May 18, mentions of GameStop soared by more than 1,400% by volume.\nThen you’ve got the quantitative data, which involves the comments themselves.\nI suspect that it’s more difficult to measure sentiment based on comments, as social media participants are sometimes sarcastic and say the opposite of what they mean.\nOnly One Way This Can Go\nStill, we can attempt to analyze the data as long as we take it with a grain of salt.\nReportedly, data from HypeEquity showed that around 8% of comments on GME stock andAMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock included the word “squeeze.”\nThat’s a fairly large portion of the comments. And, while AMC stock already had a very recent price surge, “GameStonk” shares haven’t made a huge move yet.\nFor all we know, the Reddit traders might be circling the wagons and getting ready for something of epic proportions.\nOne example of a Reddit posting struck me as overenthusiastic, but not atypical.\n“Remember, their portfolio full of derivatives is nothing against the power of HODLING the stock,” Mexicanred1 declared on subreddit r/Superstonk.\n“There’s only one way this can go… Just up,” Mexicanred1 added.\nThe Bottom Line\nIt’s hard to form any solid conclusions here. Another GME stock short squeeze might be just around the corner, or it might not.\nRather than play a guessing game, it’s probably best just to sit on the sidelines and watch the events – or non-events, as the case may be – play out.\nOn the date of publication, David Moadel did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to the InvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":214,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":133202349,"gmtCreate":1621748385681,"gmtModify":1704362058779,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy Tesla&nbsp;","listText":"Buy Tesla&nbsp;","text":"Buy Tesla","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/133202349","repostId":"1111747453","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111747453","pubTimestamp":1621609858,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111747453?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 23:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla’s New Plaid Model Is Ready.

At the close, AMC's market value stood at $28.17 billion, more than ViacomCBS(VIAC.O)and Kellogg(K.N), as well as fellow meme-stock GameStop(GME.N).In an apparent nod to the retail investors that have hyped the stock in forums such as Reddit’s popular WallStreetBets, AMC CEO Adam Aron on Wednesday announced an initiative that offered even the smallest shareholder a free large popcorn if they signed up to a regular newsletter.Among other so-called meme stocks - companies popular with a new generation of social media centric traders on WallStreetBets and other online forums - security software provider BlackBerry and headphone maker Koss Corp(KOSS.O)rose 31.1% and 68.6%, respectively.The massive rise in AMC's shares, which are up about 2,850% from just over $2 at the end of last year, is beginning to resemble the wild ride in shares of GameStop earlier this year.\"It's meme stock 2.0.,” said Steve Sosnick, Chief Strategist at Interactive Brokers.GameStop shares rose more than 1,600% in January, buoyed in part by bearish investors unwinding their bets against the heavily shorted stock in the face of a massive buying surge.'GAMMA SQUEEZE'Some of the upward price move in AMC is likely being driven by market makers buying up stock to hedge their exposure from selling options, an event known as a “gamma squeeze,” analysts said.\"People have learnt what tactics work under these insane circumstances.

Sure, you can't match their gains simply by copying every single one of their stock picks, but it can still be helpful (and fruitful) to know what they've been up to.</p><p>Consider that the billionaires, hedge funds and big-time advisories listed below have a great deal at stake. And their resources for research, as well as their intimate connections to insiders and others, can give them unique insight into their stock picks.</p><p>Studying which stocks they're chasing with their capital (or whichstocks the billionaires are selling off, for that matter) can be an edifying exercise for retail investors.</p><p>After all, there's a reason the rich get richer.</p><p><b>Here are 30 of the most recent top stock picks from the billionaire class.</b>In each case, at least one billionaire – be it a person, hedge fund or advisory – has a substantial stake and/or added to its holdings. In most cases, these stocks are owned by multiple billionaire investors and billionaire investor firms. And while several of these investments are popular blue chips, others keep a much lower profile.</p><p>Either way, the smart money isn't kidding around when it comes to these stock picks.</p><p>Prices are as of May 28. Data is courtesy of S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, WhaleWisdom.com&nbsp;and regulatory filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stocks are ranked in reverse order of their weight in the selected billionaire investor's equity portfolio.</p><p>Walmart</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$400.0 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Ray Dalio (Bridgewater Associates)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>4.3%</li></ul><p>Ordinarily, we look for stocks that account for at least 5% of a billionaire investor's portfolio before including them on this list, but Bridgewater Associates' interest in<b>Walmart</b>(WMT, $142.03) is sort of a special case.</p><p>Legendary investor Ray Dalio's massive hedge fund – it has $223 billion in assets under management (AUM) – has nearly 11% of its portfolio sitting in an S&amp;P 500 index fund. Indeed, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY), with its 0.0945% expense ratio, is Bridgewater's largest holding.</p><p>The fund's second-largest holding is<i>also</i>an ETF. The Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) accounts for 5.1% of the hedge fund's total portfolio value.</p><p>So it's something of a feather in Walmart's cap that the world's largest retailer and Dow Jones Industrial Average component happens to be tops among Dalio's actual stock picks.</p><p>Indeed, in the first quarter of 2021, Bridgewater upped its WMT stake by 16%, or 512,347 shares. The total stake of 3.6 million shares, worth $487.8 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 4.3% of Bridgewater's total portfolio value.</p><p>Note well that Dalio, whose net worth is estimated at $20.3 billion, according to Forbes, is a big fan of Dow stocks and ETFs. In addition to WMT at No. 3, Bridegwater's top 10 holdings include stakes in Procter &amp; Gamble (PG), Coca-Cola (KO) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ), as well as the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) and the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG).</p><p>Amazon.com</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$1.6 trillion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Stephen Mandel (Lone Pine Capital)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.4%</li></ul><p>Hedge-fund legend Stephen Mandel stepped back from managing investments at Lone Pine Capital a couple years back, but he remains a managing director at the firm, and it still runs very much in his image.</p><p>That's probably a good thing, given that Mandel's investing acumen allowed him to accumulate a net worth of nearly $4 billion, per Forbes.</p><p>Lone Pine – based in the hedge-fund capital of the world, Greenwich, Connecticut – lists more than $27.5 billion in managed securities. Lately, it has been putting more cash to work in big-nametechnology stocks, and few get higher accolades from Wall Street analysts than<b>Amazon.com</b>(AMZN, $3,223.07).</p><p>Indeed, analysts say AMZN is one of thebest Nasdaq stocks you can buy, giving it a high conviction consensus recommendation of Strong Buy. That's due in no small part to the fact that they expect Amazon to generate average annual earnings per share growth of almost 35% over the next three to five years – this despite the fact that the e-commerce giant is already a $1.6 trillion company.</p><p>Lone Pine upped its bet on AMZN by 87%, or 224,618 shares, in the first quarter, bringing its total holdings to 481,744 shares. That stake, which was worth $1.5 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 5.4% of Lone Pine's total portfolio value, making it fifth among the hedge fund's stock picks.</p><p>Danaher</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$182.7 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Tran Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.4%</li></ul><p>Tran Capital Management, a hedge fund based in San Rafael, California, is incrementally more bullish on the life sciences industry.</p><p>Tran, with $1.1 billion in AUM, added 2,001 shares to its stake in<b>Danaher</b>(DHR, $256.14), which makes a variety of instruments and diagnostics equipment to support medical, industrial and commercial processes.</p><p>Tran now holds a total of 267,376 shares, which were worth $60.1 million at the end of Q1. The DHR stake is Tran's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 5.4% of its stock portfolio value. The hedge fund has been an investor in DHR since the first quarter of 2014, though even with the latest purchase, it still currently owns just 0.04% of the company's shares outstanding.</p><p>The Street is likewise bullish on this healthcare name, which stands to benefit from the pharmaceutical industry's ongoing efforts against the novel coronavirus. Indeed, analysts' consensus recommendation on DHR comes to Buy, according to S&amp;PGlobal MarketIntelligence.</p><p>\"We believe that Danaher is well positioned to help biopharma companies develop new medicines, including treatments and vaccines for COVID-19,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates DHR at Buy. \"We expect recent strong customer demand to be sustained over the remainder of 2021.\"</p><p>Abbott Laboratories</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$207.3 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Polen Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.6%</li></ul><p>Polen Capital Management's top four stock picks are a who's who of hot-growth, mega-cap tech stocks: Facebook (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), Google-parent Alphabet's Class C shares (GOOG) and Adobe (ADBE).</p><p>So it's kind of neat to see that the hedge fund's fifth-largest position is an income investor's dream.</p><p><b>Abbott Laboratories</b>(ABT, $116.65) is as stalwart a divided payer as they come. It's a member of the S&amp;P Dividend Aristocrats, an index ofdividend stocks that have increased their payouts annually for at least 25 consecutive years.</p><p>ABT, which manufactures a wide variety of healthcare goods, such as branded generic drugs, medical devices and nutrition and diagnostic products, has hiked its dividend for 49 years and counting. The last increase came in December: a whopping 25% improvement to 45 cents per share.</p><p>Polen, a hedge fund based in Boca Raton, Florida, with AUM of more than $46 billion, has owned a stake in ABT since the third quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its position by 1%, or 220,118 shares. Polen's total of 20.7 million shares was worth $2.5 billion at the end of Q1, and accounted for 5.6% of its portfolio value.</p><p>Importantly, Polen owns 1.2% of Abbott Lab's shares outstanding, putting it among the company's 15 largest investors.</p><p>UnitedHealth Group</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$388.7 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Allen Investment Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>5.7%</li></ul><p><b>UnitedHealth Group</b>(UNH, $411.92) is a hedge-fund favorite, and Wall Street gives it high marks too.</p><p>As the largest health insurer by both market value and revenue – and a member of the Dow Industrials to boot – UNH is sort of a must-have stock for institutional investors seeking broad exposure to the healthcare sector.</p><p>Meanwhile, analysts' consensus recommendation on the name comes to Buy. Of the 27 analysts covering the stock tracked by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, 16 rate UNH at Strong Buy, six say Buy, three have it at Hold and one calls it a Sell.</p><p>\"With the increase in Covid-19 vaccinations, we expect medical utilization patterns to return to normal levels, while at the same time we anticipate higher utilizations resulting from missed medical visits and delayed electives,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates the stock at Strong Buy.</p><p>So it's only fitting that Allen Investment Management, a New York hedge fund with $9.3 billion in AUM, upped its stake in UNH by 2%, or 21,086 shares, during the first quarter.</p><p>At 5.7% of the portfolio, UNH is the fund's third-largest position, trailing only Allen stock picks Alphabet Class C shares and Facebook. The hedge fund's stake of 990,525 shares was worth $368.5 million at the end of the first quarter.</p><p>Gaming and Leisure Properties</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$10.8 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Gates Capital Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.0%</li></ul><p>Gates Capital Management is a fan of one of Wall Street pros' favorite Nasdaq stocks. The New York hedge fund with $3 billion in AUM upped its stake in<b>Gaming and Leisure Properties</b>(GLPI, $46.36) by 35%, or more than 1 million shares, during the first quarter.</p><p>Gates Capital now holds 3.9 million shares in thisreal estate investment trust (REIT)– a stake worth $165.6 million as of March 31.</p><p>Analysts like this casino real estate play thanks to both a snazzy dividend yield and attractive growth prospects coming out of the pandemic. The company, whose properties include the Belle of Baton Rouge and Argosy Casino Riverside in Missouri, collected 100% of its rents in 2020.</p><p>Mizuho Securities initiated coverage of Gaming and Leisure Properties at Buy in late March, citing its unique attributes in an industry set to benefit from a recovery in consumer spending and gaming revenue.</p><p>\"GLPI is the most diversified of the three Gaming REITs, with strong underlying tenant credit and structural lease enhancements, resulting in a lower-risk platform that we believe is under-appreciated by the market,\" writes Mizuho analyst Haendel St. Juste.</p><p>Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy, according to S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.</p><p>The bull case for GLPI makes it easy to understand why Gates Capital increased its exposure to a stock it first bought back in 2013. The hedge fund holds 1.7% of GLPI's shares outstanding, making it the REIT's 12th largest investor.</p><p>S&amp;P Global</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$91.4 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Chris Hohn (TCI Fund Management)</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.0%</li></ul><p>Activist investor Chris Hohn has made quite a name for himself with The Children's Investment Fund Management – more commonly known as TCI Fund Management. Indeed, the London-based investor has parlayed his many stock picks into a personal net worth of $5.9 billion, per Forbes.</p><p>TCI, with more than $34 billion in managed securities, made a handful of moves in Q1, and none was bigger in percentage terms than its doubling down (and then some) on<b>S&amp;P Global</b>(SPGI, $379.47).</p><p>Hohn increased the fund's stake in SPGI by 147% – by far its largest addition of the quarter in percentage terms – adding 3.5 million shares. TCI now owns 5.9 million shares in the company behind S&amp;P Global Ratings, S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence and S&amp;P Global Platts.</p><p>The stake, worth $2.1 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 6.0% of TCI's portfolio value, and gives Hohn ownership of 2.4% of S&amp;P's shares outstanding. That makes TCI the company's sixth-largest shareholder.</p><p>Although most investors probably know S&amp;P for its majority stake in S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices – which maintains the benchmark S&amp;P 500 index and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average – it's also a central player in corporate and financial analytics, information and research.</p><p>Dedicated long-term income investors probably already know thatSPGI happens to be a Dividend Aristocrat. The company has increased its dividend annually for nearly half a century.</p><p>AbbVie</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$199.9 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Avidity Partners Management</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.3%</li></ul><p><b>AbbVie</b>(ABBV, $113.20) was spun off from the above-mentioned Abbott Laboratories in 2013. It too, is a Dividend Aristocrat, having lifted its dividend annually for almost half a century.</p><p>Consumers best know the pharma firm for Humira, a blockbuster drug for rheumatoid arthritis that has been approved for numerous other ailments. AbbVie also makes cancer drug Imbruvica, as well as testosterone replacement therapy AndroGel.</p><p>Avidity Partners Management, a Dallas hedge fund with AUM of $6.2 billion, focuses primarily on stock picks in the healthcare sector, and it has been a fan of AbbVie since the fourth quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its stake in the pharma giant by 53%, or 721,200 shares. Avidity now holds a total of nearly 2.1 million shares in ABBV, worth $225 million at the end of Q1.</p><p>At 6.3% of its equity portfolio, AbbVie is Avidity's single largest position. That's up from 4.7% about three months ago.</p><p>The Street is a solid fan of ABBV, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with 11 Strong Buy ratings, six Buys and five Hold calls. One analyst has a Sell recommendation on the stock.</p><p>\"AbbVie is developing new growth drivers to help offset slowing sales of Humira, still its largest product by revenue,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates the stock at Buy. \"We expect continued strong growth from the oncology portfolio and newer immunology drugs in 2021.\"</p><p>Applied Materials</p><ul><li><b>Market value:</b>$126.2 billion</li><li><b>Billionaire investor:</b>Bristol Gate Capital Partners</li><li><b>Percent of portfolio:</b>6.3%</li></ul><p>Bristol Gate Capital Partners, a Toronto hedge fund with AUM of $1.7 billion, initiated a position in<b>Applied Materials</b>(AMAT, $138.13) in the first quarter.</p><p>And what a commitment it was. The new purchase of 783,931 shares, worth $105 million at the end of Q1, vaulted the position to Bristol Gate's top holding, accounting for 6.3% of its portfolio.</p><p>Applied Materials, which provides manufacturing equipment and technology to the semiconductor industry, is an allied play on the global chip shortage. Indeed, relentless demand for semiconductors from a wide range of industries has helped AMAT stock jump about 60% for the year-to-date.</p><p>The Street is heavily bullish on the name, too.

It's a bet that appears to have done quite well. Mastercard stock's five-year total return – price appreciation plus dividends – comes to 30.8%, according to Morningstar data. That beats its sector by 5.7 percentage points and leads the broader market by 13.4 percentage points.</p><p>Like Visa, Mastercard has relentless growth in digital mobile payments and other cashless transactions at its back.</p><p>\"Mastercard is a key beneficiary of the long-term secular shift toward electronic forms of payments, and that new technology is helping accelerate the shift,\" writes William Blair analyst Robert Napoli (Outperform)</p><p>And, just like Visa, MA has a lot of fans on the Street.

Just ask Altarock Partners.</p><p>This hedge fund, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, with AUM of $3.1 billion, has almost a quarter of its portfolio socked away in Facebook stock. After buying another 465,800 shares, a 27% increase, in Q1, the hedge fund is sitting on 2.2 million shares worth $641.4 million as of March 31.</p><p>That makes FB Altarock's second-largest holding.</p><p>And just who is at No. 1?</p><p>None other than Google parent Alphabet, which commands 25.1% of Altarock's investment portfolio.</p><p>The hedge fund first bought FB in the fourth quarter of last year, so it's building up its position on the stock pick pretty rapidly.

Advisors.</p><p>This New York-based hedge fund with $35.8 billion in AUM is led by billionaire biotech investors Julian and Felix Baker. The brothers may keep a low profile, but they're plenty famous in the world ofbiotech stocks. A series of successful investments have allowed the Bakers to build an estimated combined fortune of about $4 billion, according to Forbes.</p><p>And judging by their latest regulatory filings, the brothers have great expectations for Seagen, too. The stock pick accounts for nearly 30% of the total value of the Baker Bros.' holdings, up from 28.5% three months ago.</p><p>The increase stems in part from Baker Bros. buying another 347,745 shares in SGEN in the first quarter of 2021. The fund's total holdings of 47.6 million shares were worth more than $7 billion at the end of Q1.</p><p>The stake gives Baker Bros. ownership of 26.3% of SGEN's shares outstanding, which makes it the biotech company's largest shareholder by a wide margin. The second-largest investor – Capital Research and Management – holds only 8.6% of SGEN's shares outstanding.</p><p>The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.</p><p>TRENDING TOPICS</p><p>TRENDING ARTICLES</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>30 Top Stock Picks That Billionaires Love</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\">\n30 Top Stock Picks That Billionaires Love\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-02 11:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/30-top-stock-picks-that-billionaires-love-2021-06-01><strong>Nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It's always interesting to see what billionaire investors are doing with their money.

Sure, you can't match their gains simply by copying every single one of their stock picks, but it can still be helpful (and fruitful) to know what they've been up to.Consider that the billionaires, hedge funds and big-time advisories listed below have a great deal at stake. And their resources for research, as well as their intimate connections to insiders and others, can give them unique insight into their stock picks.Studying which stocks they're chasing with their capital (or whichstocks the billionaires are selling off, for that matter) can be an edifying exercise for retail investors.After all, there's a reason the rich get richer.Here are 30 of the most recent top stock picks from the billionaire class.In each case, at least one billionaire – be it a person, hedge fund or advisory – has a substantial stake and/or added to its holdings. In most cases, these stocks are owned by multiple billionaire investors and billionaire investor firms. And while several of these investments are popular blue chips, others keep a much lower profile.Either way, the smart money isn't kidding around when it comes to these stock picks.Prices are as of May 28. Data is courtesy of S&P Global Market Intelligence, WhaleWisdom.com and regulatory filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stocks are ranked in reverse order of their weight in the selected billionaire investor's equity portfolio.WalmartMarket value:$400.0 billionBillionaire investor:Ray Dalio (Bridgewater Associates)Percent of portfolio:4.3%Ordinarily, we look for stocks that account for at least 5% of a billionaire investor's portfolio before including them on this list, but Bridgewater Associates' interest inWalmart(WMT, $142.03) is sort of a special case.Legendary investor Ray Dalio's massive hedge fund – it has $223 billion in assets under management (AUM) – has nearly 11% of its portfolio sitting in an S&P 500 index fund. Indeed, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), with its 0.0945% expense ratio, is Bridgewater's largest holding.The fund's second-largest holding isalsoan ETF. The Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) accounts for 5.1% of the hedge fund's total portfolio value.So it's something of a feather in Walmart's cap that the world's largest retailer and Dow Jones Industrial Average component happens to be tops among Dalio's actual stock picks.Indeed, in the first quarter of 2021, Bridgewater upped its WMT stake by 16%, or 512,347 shares. The total stake of 3.6 million shares, worth $487.8 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 4.3% of Bridgewater's total portfolio value.Note well that Dalio, whose net worth is estimated at $20.3 billion, according to Forbes, is a big fan of Dow stocks and ETFs. In addition to WMT at No. 3, Bridegwater's top 10 holdings include stakes in Procter & Gamble (PG), Coca-Cola (KO) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), as well as the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD) and the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG).Amazon.comMarket value:$1.6 trillionBillionaire investor:Stephen Mandel (Lone Pine Capital)Percent of portfolio:5.4%Hedge-fund legend Stephen Mandel stepped back from managing investments at Lone Pine Capital a couple years back, but he remains a managing director at the firm, and it still runs very much in his image.That's probably a good thing, given that Mandel's investing acumen allowed him to accumulate a net worth of nearly $4 billion, per Forbes.Lone Pine – based in the hedge-fund capital of the world, Greenwich, Connecticut – lists more than $27.5 billion in managed securities. Lately, it has been putting more cash to work in big-nametechnology stocks, and few get higher accolades from Wall Street analysts thanAmazon.com(AMZN, $3,223.07).Indeed, analysts say AMZN is one of thebest Nasdaq stocks you can buy, giving it a high conviction consensus recommendation of Strong Buy. That's due in no small part to the fact that they expect Amazon to generate average annual earnings per share growth of almost 35% over the next three to five years – this despite the fact that the e-commerce giant is already a $1.6 trillion company.Lone Pine upped its bet on AMZN by 87%, or 224,618 shares, in the first quarter, bringing its total holdings to 481,744 shares. That stake, which was worth $1.5 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 5.4% of Lone Pine's total portfolio value, making it fifth among the hedge fund's stock picks.DanaherMarket value:$182.7 billionBillionaire investor:Tran Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.4%Tran Capital Management, a hedge fund based in San Rafael, California, is incrementally more bullish on the life sciences industry.Tran, with $1.1 billion in AUM, added 2,001 shares to its stake inDanaher(DHR, $256.14), which makes a variety of instruments and diagnostics equipment to support medical, industrial and commercial processes.Tran now holds a total of 267,376 shares, which were worth $60.1 million at the end of Q1. The DHR stake is Tran's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 5.4% of its stock portfolio value. The hedge fund has been an investor in DHR since the first quarter of 2014, though even with the latest purchase, it still currently owns just 0.04% of the company's shares outstanding.The Street is likewise bullish on this healthcare name, which stands to benefit from the pharmaceutical industry's ongoing efforts against the novel coronavirus. Indeed, analysts' consensus recommendation on DHR comes to Buy, according to S&PGlobal MarketIntelligence.\"We believe that Danaher is well positioned to help biopharma companies develop new medicines, including treatments and vaccines for COVID-19,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates DHR at Buy. \"We expect recent strong customer demand to be sustained over the remainder of 2021.\"Abbott LaboratoriesMarket value:$207.3 billionBillionaire investor:Polen Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.6%Polen Capital Management's top four stock picks are a who's who of hot-growth, mega-cap tech stocks: Facebook (FB), Microsoft (MSFT), Google-parent Alphabet's Class C shares (GOOG) and Adobe (ADBE).So it's kind of neat to see that the hedge fund's fifth-largest position is an income investor's dream.Abbott Laboratories(ABT, $116.65) is as stalwart a divided payer as they come. It's a member of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats, an index ofdividend stocks that have increased their payouts annually for at least 25 consecutive years.ABT, which manufactures a wide variety of healthcare goods, such as branded generic drugs, medical devices and nutrition and diagnostic products, has hiked its dividend for 49 years and counting. The last increase came in December: a whopping 25% improvement to 45 cents per share.Polen, a hedge fund based in Boca Raton, Florida, with AUM of more than $46 billion, has owned a stake in ABT since the third quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its position by 1%, or 220,118 shares. Polen's total of 20.7 million shares was worth $2.5 billion at the end of Q1, and accounted for 5.6% of its portfolio value.Importantly, Polen owns 1.2% of Abbott Lab's shares outstanding, putting it among the company's 15 largest investors.UnitedHealth GroupMarket value:$388.7 billionBillionaire investor:Allen Investment ManagementPercent of portfolio:5.7%UnitedHealth Group(UNH, $411.92) is a hedge-fund favorite, and Wall Street gives it high marks too.As the largest health insurer by both market value and revenue – and a member of the Dow Industrials to boot – UNH is sort of a must-have stock for institutional investors seeking broad exposure to the healthcare sector.Meanwhile, analysts' consensus recommendation on the name comes to Buy. Of the 27 analysts covering the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 16 rate UNH at Strong Buy, six say Buy, three have it at Hold and one calls it a Sell.\"With the increase in Covid-19 vaccinations, we expect medical utilization patterns to return to normal levels, while at the same time we anticipate higher utilizations resulting from missed medical visits and delayed electives,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates the stock at Strong Buy.So it's only fitting that Allen Investment Management, a New York hedge fund with $9.3 billion in AUM, upped its stake in UNH by 2%, or 21,086 shares, during the first quarter.At 5.7% of the portfolio, UNH is the fund's third-largest position, trailing only Allen stock picks Alphabet Class C shares and Facebook. The hedge fund's stake of 990,525 shares was worth $368.5 million at the end of the first quarter.Gaming and Leisure PropertiesMarket value:$10.8 billionBillionaire investor:Gates Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:6.0%Gates Capital Management is a fan of one of Wall Street pros' favorite Nasdaq stocks. The New York hedge fund with $3 billion in AUM upped its stake inGaming and Leisure Properties(GLPI, $46.36) by 35%, or more than 1 million shares, during the first quarter.Gates Capital now holds 3.9 million shares in thisreal estate investment trust (REIT)– a stake worth $165.6 million as of March 31.Analysts like this casino real estate play thanks to both a snazzy dividend yield and attractive growth prospects coming out of the pandemic. The company, whose properties include the Belle of Baton Rouge and Argosy Casino Riverside in Missouri, collected 100% of its rents in 2020.Mizuho Securities initiated coverage of Gaming and Leisure Properties at Buy in late March, citing its unique attributes in an industry set to benefit from a recovery in consumer spending and gaming revenue.\"GLPI is the most diversified of the three Gaming REITs, with strong underlying tenant credit and structural lease enhancements, resulting in a lower-risk platform that we believe is under-appreciated by the market,\" writes Mizuho analyst Haendel St. Juste.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.The bull case for GLPI makes it easy to understand why Gates Capital increased its exposure to a stock it first bought back in 2013. The hedge fund holds 1.7% of GLPI's shares outstanding, making it the REIT's 12th largest investor.S&P GlobalMarket value:$91.4 billionBillionaire investor:Chris Hohn (TCI Fund Management)Percent of portfolio:6.0%Activist investor Chris Hohn has made quite a name for himself with The Children's Investment Fund Management – more commonly known as TCI Fund Management. Indeed, the London-based investor has parlayed his many stock picks into a personal net worth of $5.9 billion, per Forbes.TCI, with more than $34 billion in managed securities, made a handful of moves in Q1, and none was bigger in percentage terms than its doubling down (and then some) onS&P Global(SPGI, $379.47).Hohn increased the fund's stake in SPGI by 147% – by far its largest addition of the quarter in percentage terms – adding 3.5 million shares. TCI now owns 5.9 million shares in the company behind S&P Global Ratings, S&P Global Market Intelligence and S&P Global Platts.The stake, worth $2.1 billion at the end of Q1, accounts for 6.0% of TCI's portfolio value, and gives Hohn ownership of 2.4% of S&P's shares outstanding. That makes TCI the company's sixth-largest shareholder.Although most investors probably know S&P for its majority stake in S&P Dow Jones Indices – which maintains the benchmark S&P 500 index and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average – it's also a central player in corporate and financial analytics, information and research.Dedicated long-term income investors probably already know thatSPGI happens to be a Dividend Aristocrat. The company has increased its dividend annually for nearly half a century.AbbVieMarket value:$199.9 billionBillionaire investor:Avidity Partners ManagementPercent of portfolio:6.3%AbbVie(ABBV, $113.20) was spun off from the above-mentioned Abbott Laboratories in 2013. It too, is a Dividend Aristocrat, having lifted its dividend annually for almost half a century.Consumers best know the pharma firm for Humira, a blockbuster drug for rheumatoid arthritis that has been approved for numerous other ailments. AbbVie also makes cancer drug Imbruvica, as well as testosterone replacement therapy AndroGel.Avidity Partners Management, a Dallas hedge fund with AUM of $6.2 billion, focuses primarily on stock picks in the healthcare sector, and it has been a fan of AbbVie since the fourth quarter of 2019. Most recently, it upped its stake in the pharma giant by 53%, or 721,200 shares. Avidity now holds a total of nearly 2.1 million shares in ABBV, worth $225 million at the end of Q1.At 6.3% of its equity portfolio, AbbVie is Avidity's single largest position. That's up from 4.7% about three months ago.The Street is a solid fan of ABBV, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with 11 Strong Buy ratings, six Buys and five Hold calls. One analyst has a Sell recommendation on the stock.\"AbbVie is developing new growth drivers to help offset slowing sales of Humira, still its largest product by revenue,\" writes Argus Research analyst David Toung, who rates the stock at Buy. \"We expect continued strong growth from the oncology portfolio and newer immunology drugs in 2021.\"Applied MaterialsMarket value:$126.2 billionBillionaire investor:Bristol Gate Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:6.3%Bristol Gate Capital Partners, a Toronto hedge fund with AUM of $1.7 billion, initiated a position inApplied Materials(AMAT, $138.13) in the first quarter.And what a commitment it was. The new purchase of 783,931 shares, worth $105 million at the end of Q1, vaulted the position to Bristol Gate's top holding, accounting for 6.3% of its portfolio.Applied Materials, which provides manufacturing equipment and technology to the semiconductor industry, is an allied play on the global chip shortage. Indeed, relentless demand for semiconductors from a wide range of industries has helped AMAT stock jump about 60% for the year-to-date.The Street is heavily bullish on the name, too. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy, according to S&P Global Market Research. The high opinion stems in part from the Street's forecast for EPS to increase at an average annual rate of nearly 19% over the next three to five years.\"We believe underlying secular drivers are robust, broad-based and multi-year in nature,\" writes B. Riley analyst Craig Ellis, who rates AMAT at Buy.Johnson & JohnsonMarket value:$445.7 billionBillionaire investor:ACR Alpine Capital ResearchPercent of portfolio:6.3%ACR Alpine Capital Research, a large advisory with $2.5 billion in AUM, has been a long-time fan of blue-chipJohnson & Johnson(JNJ, $169.25). The St. Louis-based asset manager first invested in the Dow stock at the end of 2010, and it added incrementally to the position in Q1.ACR upped its stake in the multifaceted pharma giant by 1%, or 8,790 shares, bringing its total holdings to 704,842 shares. The stake, worth $115.8 million at quarter's end, is at the tail end of the advisory's top 10 stock picks, taking up 6.3% of ACR's total portfolio value.Analysts have a consensus recommendation of Buy on JNJ. Among the arguments in favor of the stock, bulls point to its strong pharmaceutical pipeline, as well as a rebound in demand for medical devices as patients undergo elective procedures put off during the pandemic.\"We expect the recovery in elective procedures and patient visit volumes to accelerate as the pandemic is starting to get under control in the U.S., which should result in a strong recovery in Medical Devices sales and solid growth in Pharma revenues,\" writes CFRA Research analyst Sel Hardy, who rates shares at Buy.Investors and analysts alike no doubt also appreciate the company's commitment to delivering income to investors. JNJ announced a 5% quarterly dividend increase in April 2021, to $1.06 per share from $1.01 per share. That marked this Dividend Aristocrat's 59th consecutive year of dividend increases.XilinxMarket value:$31.2 billionBillionaire investor:Canyon Capital AdvisorsPercent of portfolio:7.0%Canyon Capital Advisors, with AUM of $20.9 billion, has propelled founders Joshua Friedman and Mitchell Julis to Forbes' list of highest-earning hedge fund millionaires.So it's of interest that the Los Angeles-based fund significantly pared back on its two largest stock picks in Q1 – while greatly increasing its bet on chipmakerXilinx(XLNX, $127.00).In October 2020, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Xilinx announced a deal in which AMD would acquire the latter in an all-stock transaction valued at $35 billion.Canyon first bought shares in Xilinx in the fourth quarter of 2020, at which point the stake accounted for 4.6% of the fund's portfolio value. Then in Q1, Canyon upped its XLNX holdings by 89%, or 672,829 shares.The hedge fund's total stake of 1.4 million shares, worth $176.3 million at the end of Q1, now accounts for 7.0% of its portfolio value.Canyon, with ownership of 0.58% of XLNX's shares outstanding, is a top-30 stockholder in the soon-to-be-acquired company. AMD and Xilinx expect their deal to close at the end of 2021.Analysts' consensus recommendation on XLNX stands at Hold, pending the deal close. They do, however, rate AMD at Buy, and generally applaud the strategic rationale of merging the two chipmakers' complementary assets.D.R. HortonMarket value:$34.4 billionBillionaire investor:George Soros (Soros Fund Management)Percent of portfolio:7.4%Legendary hedge-fund tycoon George Soros, with an estimated net worth of $8.6 billion, per Forbes, today spends his days running Soros Fund Management.The New York-based family office – a sort of private hedge fund – has $5.3 billion in AUM, and one of its biggest stock picks is a bet on the severe shortage of new homes for sale.Soros first took a stake in homebuilderD.R. Horton(DHI, $95.29) during the first quarter of 2019, and he apparently remains bullish on the outlook. After all, the billionaire increased his DHI stake by 19%, or 703,850 shares, in the first quarter.Soros Fund Management's most recent investment makes DHI its second-largest holding, at 7.4% of the portfolio. The stake of 4.4 million shares – worth $392.8 million at the end of Q1 – equals 1.2% of the homebuilder's shares outstanding. As such, Soros Fund Management is D.R. Horton's 15th largest shareholder.With a consensus recommendation of Buy, per S&P Global Market Intelligence, the Street is also bullish on the name.\"With inventory constraints growing across the industry and buyer demand still nearly insatiable, we think DHI remains in an extraordinarily strong position to gain further market share and leverage its sector-leading scale,\" writes Raymond James analyst Buck Horne, who rates shares at Outperform (the equivalent of Buy).MicrosoftMarket value:$1.9 trillionBillionaire investor:Chase Coleman III (Tiger Global Management)Percent of portfolio:7.4%Hedge-fund legend Chase Coleman III, with a net worth of $10.3 billion, according to Forbes, upped his bet onMicrosoft(MSFT, $249.68) in the first quarter of 2021.And he did so in a compelling fashion.Coleman's Tiger Global Management ($79 billion AUM) increased its stake in MSFT by 15%, or 1.8 million shares, in the first three months of the year. The hedge fund now owns a total of 13.7 million shares, worth $3.2 billion at the end of Q1.The MSFT stake, which accounts for 7.4% of Tiger Global's portfolio value, is second only to its bet on Chinese e-commerce company JD.com (JD), which is top among Coleman's stock picks at 9.9% of the portfolio.Tiger Global first bought MSFT in the fourth quarter of 2016, and adding to the stake certainly makes sense. Wall Street analysts mostly adore this component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.After all, MSFT – the second-largest U.S. company by market value after Apple (AAPL) – lands among the pro's11 best Nasdaq stocks you can buy. Analysts' consensus recommendation on MSFT comes to Strong Buy, with 26 Strong Buy calls, 11 Buys and one Hold rating.TeslaMarket value:$602.3 billionBillionaire investor:Ark InvestPercent of portfolio:7.6%Ark Invest features prominently in the financial news these days, thanks to the strong performance of several of its actively managed exchange-traded funds.Indeed, as Kiplinger has noted, 2020 was the year of Cathie Wood, CEO and founder of Ark Invest, who steered its then-five separate actively managed innovation-themed funds to the ranks ofthe best-performing equity ETFsof the year.In addition to ETFs, Ark offers managed accounts and other products and services aimed at high net worth investors. Thanks to the various products and services it offers, the firm has amassed more than $55 billion in AUM.So it says something when Ark's single-largest holding isTesla(TSLA, $625.22) – especially since the firm is increasing its exposure to the electric vehicle maker at an accelerating pace.Ark boosted its TSLA position by 39%, or 1.7 million shares, during the first quarter of 2021. The stake, which accounts for 7.6% of Ark Investment Management's equity portfolio, was worth nearly $4 billion at the end of Q1.It's not hard to see why Wood likes TSLA so much. Her investment approach focuses on innovation, and Tesla, led by the mercurial Elon Musk, is nothing if not innovative.ComcastMarket value:$263.4 billionBillionaire investor:Rothschild & Company Wealth Management UKPercent of portfolio:9.0%Rothschild & Company Wealth Management UK, a London-based hedge fund with $16.4 billion in AUM, is increasingly bullish onComcast(CMCSA, $57.34).Welcome to the club.The nation's largest cable company regularly makes the list ofhedge funds' favorite stock picks. That's because its combination of content, broadband, pay TV, theme parks and movies is unparalleled by rivals, and gives thisblue-chip stocka huge strategic advantage.CMCSA's diversification came in especially handy last year when the pandemic walloped theme parks, cinemas and spending on advertising.\"While the pandemic has materially impacted Comcast, the company's steady cable division continues to provide vital connectivity for its large base of 23 million subscribers,\" writes Argus Research analyst Joseph Bonner (Buy).Rothschild first bought shares in the cable operator in the first quarter of 2019, and most recently upped its bet by 2%, or 194,324 shares. The hedge fund's total holdings of 9.2 million shares, worth $500.2 million at the end of Q1, accounted for 9.0% of its portfolio. CMCSA is now Rothchild's sixth-largest position.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the stock comes to Buy, per S&P Global Market Intelligence, with 20 Strong Buy ratings, nine Buys, four Holds and one Strong Sell. The Street expects the company to deliver average annual EPS growth of nearly 16% over the next three to five years.AptivMarket value:$40.7 billionBillionaire investor:Caxton AssociatesPercent of portfolio:9.4%Billionaire philanthropist Bruce Kovner, with an estimated net worth of $6.6 billion, retired from his management role at Caxton Associates a decade ago. But the hedge fund he founded continues to rake in the bucks with his global macroeconomic trading strategies.Indeed, Caxton last year closed its flagship fund to new money after posting record 40% gains during the pandemic. And the firm shows no signs of slowing down.Caxton, with AUM of $25.7 billion, has ownedAptiv(APTV, $150.42) since the first quarter of 2019, but it really went all in earlier this year.Caxton upped its stake in APTV by 61%, or 285,618 shares. Indeed, the purchase made APTV the fund's top stock pick, accounting for 9.4% of the portfolio, up from 4.2% three months ago. Caxton's 747,843 shares were worth $103.1 million at the end of Q1.Shares in Aptiv, which makes safety, connectivity and green technology for vehicles, have essentially doubled over the past 52 weeks, and analysts say they have more room to run.\"Aptiv indeed is not only benefitting from accelerating industry adoption of vehicle electrification, advanced driver-assistance systems, and connected vehicle technologies, but also achieving dominant win rates in several of these areas based on its complete system knowledge, and software-based flexible architectures,\" writes Deutsche Bank analyst Emmanuel Rosner (Buy).AdobeMarket value:$241.2 billionBillionaire investor:Atalan Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:9.6%Atalan Capital Partners, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $2 billion, boosted its stake inAdobe(ADBE, $504.58) in Q1, which vaulted the software company into the No. 2 spot among its stock picks.Atalan increased its holdings by 38%, or 82,000 shares, in Q1, lifting its total stake to 295,000 shares worth $140.2 million as of March 31. The position accounts for 9.6% of the portfolio.Atalan first picked up ADBE in the second quarter of 2020, which was not the best timing. Shares are up just about 16% since June 30 of last year, lagging the S&P 500 by roughly 20 percentage points.That's not to say ADBE stock won't continue to be a winner in the longer run. Analysts tend to be heavily bullish on the name, thanks to its dominance in its field. After all, Adobe is the undisputed leader in making software for designers and other creative types. Its software arsenal includes Photoshop, Premiere Pro for video editing and Dreamweaver for website design, among others.\"As a result of its early-mover position and strategic M&A transactions, Adobe has established itself as the unchallenged leader in Creative software,\" writes Stifel analyst Jeffrey Parker Lane (Buy). \"We view Adobe as one of the most compelling investment cases in our coverage areas.\"The Street's consensus recommendation stands at Buy, with an annual EPS growth forecast of more than 15% over the next three to five years.Thermo Fisher ScientificMarket value:$184.5 billionBillionaire investor:Cryder Capital PartnersPercent of portfolio:9.7%Thermo Fisher Scientific(TMO, $469.50), is sometimes called the \"Amazon of the healthcare industry\" because of its wide-ranging portfolio of life sciences products, analytics and laboratory instruments.As such, it has been highly active in the fight against COVID-19, which in turn has raised its profile and investor interest. And although TMO has been a holding of Cryder Capital Partners since 2015, the hedge fund remains an incremental buyer.London-based Cryder Capital, with $1 billion in AUM, lifted its stake in TMO by 2%, or 6,398 shares, during the first three months of the year. The hedge fund now holds a total of 298,587 shares, worth $136.3 million as of March 31. Despite a high weight of 9.7%, TMO is just seventh largest among the fund's stock picks.Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Strong Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Argus Research is just one research shop in the bull camp.\"Thermo is seeing strong demand for COVID-19 testing solutions as well as for instruments and supplies used by developers of vaccines and other treatments,\" writes analyst David Toung (Buy). \"But the company is also investing its substantial cash flow in technology upgrades, capacity expansions and acquisitions.\"With an average target price of $557.17, the Street gives TMO stock implied upside of about 18% in the next 12 months or so.VisaMarket value:$484.8 billionBillionaire investor:Valley Forge Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:10.2%Visa(V, $227.30) routinely makes most lists of analysts', hedge funds' or billionaires' favorite stocks.Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)owns a stake worth more than $2 billion, although chairman and CEO Warren Buffett readily credits the holding to one of his stock-picking lieutenants.And indeed, there is much to like about this Dow stock. Visa operates the world's largest payments network, and thus is well-positioned to benefit from the growth of cashless transactions and digital mobile payments.The Street's consensus recommendation is a high-conviction Buy. Of the analysts covering the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 21 call V a Strong Buy, 12 rate it at Buy, four say Hold and one calls it a Sell.Valley Forge Capital Management, a hedge fund in Wayne, Pennsylvania, with $1.1 billion in AUM, is certainly a big believer. Visa accounts for 10.2% of its equity portfolio.The fund increased its Visa stake by 88%, or 477,181 shares, in Q1. It now holds more than 1 million shares worth $215 million as of March 31. Mind you, Valley Forge Capital is hardly a novice in this stock. The fund has counted Visa among its stock picks since 2016.Although the pandemic greatly curtailed spending in a number of Visa's categories – most notably travel and entertainment – those headwinds should now be in the past. Indeed, the gradual global reopening – and accelerating secular growth in cashless payments, helped by the perception that cash is \"dirty\" – make a solid bull case for Visa stock.IntelMarket value:$230.7 billionBillionaire investor:Cavalry Management GroupPercent of portfolio:10.4%Intel(INTC, $57.12) has fallen far behind the competition on any number of fronts, which is why analysts and investors were so delighted when the chipmaker hired Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of VMWare (VMW), to take over in February.Heck, some observers said it was the best decision the troubled company made in more than a decade. And, indeed, this Dow stock has been a disappointing performer. Shares are up just 3% over the past three years vs. a gain of 54% for the S&P 500.So props to Cavalry Management Group for making a bold bet on the semiconductor company earlier this year. The San Francisco hedge fund with $2.6 billion in AUM initiated a large enough position to instantly make Intel its top stock pick.Cavalry Management bought 1.7 million shares during the first three months of 2021. With a value of $111.6 million at the end of Q1, INTC accounted for more than 10% of the hedge fund's investments.Cavalry largely focuses on large-cap tech stocks, so Intel certainly fits well with its broader strategy. Other moves the fund made in Q1 included more than tripling its stake in Microsoft, and almost doubling its holdings in Ericsson (ERIC).The Street is generally more cautious on INTC than Cavalry Management is. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Hold, per S&P Global Market Intelligence.PayPal HoldingsMarket value:$305.5 billionBillionaire investor:Dorsey Asset ManagementPercent of portfolio:11.8%Digital mobile payments and the expansion of cashless transactions are one of the hottest areas of growth in financial tech. And although the sector offers no shortage of promising new names, old-timerPayPal Holdings(PYPL, $260.02) still gets plenty of analyst – and billionaire investor – love.Explosive growth in mobile transactions, the monetization of its Venmo property and incremental revenue growth in its Xoom business all help make for a compelling bull case on PYPL, analysts say.\"Simply put, PayPal should continue to benefit from the secular shift to e-commerce that should drive a roughly 20% revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR), which, coupled with margin expansion and capital allocation (mergers & acquisitions plus stock buybacks), should result in an earnings CAGR north of 20% over the next several years,\" writes Raymond James analyst John Davis, who rates the stock at Outperform (the equivalent of Buy).Dorsey Asset Management, with $1.3 billion in AUM, embraces the bull case on PYPL in a big way. The Chicago-based hedge fund increased its stake in PayPal by 81%, or 209,025 shares, in Q1. Its total holdings of 465,266 shares, worth $113 million as of March 31, comprises 11.8% of its stock investments.That's up from 7.9% of the portfolio three months ago. PYPL, which Dorsey has owned since the second quarter of 2018, is now its fifth-largest position.Analysts' consensus recommendation on the stock stands at Buy, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.Howard HughesMarket value:$5.8 billionBillionaire investor:Bill Ackman (Pershing Square Capital)Percent of portfolio:12.1%No one doubts Bill Ackman's investing acumen. His Pershing Square Capital hedge fund has allowed the investor to amass a personal fortune of $3 billion, per Forbes.And he's never been one to shy away from the media. So his increasing stake inHoward Hughes Corp.(HHC, $105.83) is far from a state secret. Indeed, Ackman has owned shares in the master-planned community developer since it was spun off from General Growth Properties in 2010.Given Ackman's propensity for being anactivist investor, his latest purchase is eyebrow-raising news, nonetheless.The hedge-fund billionaire increased his stake in HHC by 23%, or 2.6 million shares, in Q1. Pershing Square's stake of 13.5 million shares was worth $1.3 billion at the first quarter's end.Most notably, Ackman now holds almost a quarter of HHC's shares outstanding. That makes the hedge fund the company's largest investor by a wide margin. Asset manager Vanguard, at No. 2, owns just 10.8% of HHC.Meanwhile, HHC, at 12.1% of its portfolio, is now Pershing Square Capital's sixth-largest position.For those keeping score at home, HHC stock has doubled over the past 52 weeks vs. a gain of about 38% for the S&P 500. For the year-to-date, it's up by more than a third. That compares with the broader market's gain of about 12% so far this year.Only three analysts cover HHC, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. One rates it at Strong Buy, while the other two say Buy.Lowe'sMarket value:$137.7 billionBillionaire investor:Two Creeks Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:12.2%Two Creeks Capital Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $2.8 billion, made a big addition to its stake inLowe's(LOW, $194.83) in the first quarter – a move most analysts would regard as wise.The nation's second-largest home improvement retailer after Home Depot (HD) benefited greatly from the work-from-home/stuck-at-home reality of pandemic life. Analysts say many of the do-it-yourself habits consumers adopted during COVID times are here to stay. Lowe's is also being aided by the ultra-tight housing market.The Street gives LOW a consensus recommendation of Buy. Argus Research, which counts itself in the Buy camp, says Lowe's has several strong tailwinds behind it.\"We believe that the major drivers of post-pandemic sales growth remain the same,\" writes Argus Research analyst Christopher Graja. \"There has been significant underinvestment in housing. About 70% of U.S. homes are more than 25 years old and likely in need of upgrades and repairs. Millennials are starting families.\"Income investors know the power of Lowe's dividend over the longer haul. The Dividend Aristocrat has paid a cash distribution every quarter since going public in 1961, and that dividend has increased annually for almost 60 years.The bullish investment thesis led Two Creeks to up its stake in this stock pick by 14%, or 132,811 shares, in Q1. The hedge fund's total stake of 1.1 million LOW shares, worth $200 million at the end of Q1, accounts for 12.2% of its portfolio, representing its third-largest holding.AlphabetMarket value:$1.6 trillionBillionaire investor:Metropolis CapitalPercent of portfolio:13.3%It should come as no surprise that hedge funds are big believers in Google parentAlphabet(GOOGL, $2,356,85). Metropolis Capital, a U.K.-based investor with $1.4 billion in AUM, is just one of about 225 hedge funds upping its stake in the internet giant in Q1.Metropolis thinks highly enough of the search leader that it increased its stake by 22%, or 13,679 shares. The firm now holds a total of 74,868 shares worth $154.4 million, or 13.3% of its total portfolio, as of March 31.Alphabet happens to be in good company at this hedge fund. GOOGL is Metropolis' second-largest stock pick after Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B).If nothing else, Alphabet's pandemic performance in totality bolstered the case that GOOGL is not a one-trick pony. Its numerous other endeavors likewise shore up the case. For example, Alphabet is a key player in cloud-based services, and home to Nest Labs and self-driving car startup Waymo. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and virtual reality are other areas of heavy investment.\"We continue to favor Google as a core large-cap growth holding given the strong digital advertising backdrop, continued strength from Cloud, ongoing share repurchases (with the newly authorized $50 billion program) and a reasonable valuation,\" writes Canaccord Genuity analyst Maria Ripps (Buy).Analysts' consensus recommendation on the name stands at Strong Buy. Of the 45 analysts issuing opinions on the stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 32 rate it at Strong Buy, 12 say Buy and one has it at Hold.Walt DisneyMarket value:$324.6 billionBillionaire investor:Kirkoswald Asset ManagementPercent of portfolio:16.5%Coronavirus took a huge bite out of some ofWalt Disney's(DIS, $178.65) most important businesses: namely, its theme parks and studios. But after encouraging quarterly results, analysts say business is set to bounce back in a big way.Disneyland and other California amusement parks have reopened with restrictions. And admissions at Florida's Disney World continue to climb.\"With mask mandates lifted and capacity constraints loosened further, we would not be surprised to see a step change in attendance in the near future,\" writes Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Kraft (Buy).But that's nothing compared to what DIS has on its hands in thestreaming mediawars.Disney+ is a smashing success. The streaming platform, which launched in November 2019, has already amassed almost 100 million subscribers – a staggering rate of growth. Consider that Disney+ now has about half as many subscribers as Netflix (NFLX) – but Netflix had a roughly 12-year head start.Kirkoswald Asset Management, a New York hedge fund with AUM of $4 billion, decided to get in on DIS asa recovery stock pickin Q1. It initiated a stake of 5,200 shares, worth almost $1 million, during the first three months of the year.The new stake immediately made DIS its second-largest position among $5.8 million in managed securities.Most of the Street would approve of Kirkoswald's investment. Analysts have a consensus Buy recommendation on this Dow stock.Berkshire HathawayMarket value:$661.0 billionBillionaire investor:Southeast Asset AdvisorsPercent of portfolio:16.8%If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.It's hard to compete with Warren Buffett when it comes toasset allocation. As CEO and chairman ofBerkshire Hathaway(BRK.B, $289.44), he's arguably the greatest long-term investor of all time.So it's little wonder that so many hedge funds, large advisories and other billion-dollar-plus pools of money throw in their lots with the Oracle of Omaha.Southeast Asset Advisors, an investment manager and hedge fund based in Thomasville, Georgia, with $1.6 billion in AUM, has been a BRK.B shareholder since 2008. Indeed, BRK.B, at 16.8% of its portfolio, is the fund's top holding.And it's only getting bigger.Southeast increased its stake in BRK.B by 2%, or 7,747 shares, in Q1. It now holds 365,149 shares worth $93.3 million. Only Alphabet Class C shares (GOOG) come close to the firm's BRK.B stake, accounting for 11.7% of the portfolio.BRK.B has been an outstanding performer both in 2021 and over the past 52 weeks. The stock is up 25% for the year-to-date, essentially doubling the S&P 500's gains. And over the past year? BRK.B returned 57% vs. a price increase of less than 40% for the broad-market gauge.Only four analysts cover BRK.B stock, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. Their consensus recommendation comes to Buy.AlibabaMarket value:$580.4 billionBillionaire investor:Conifer ManagementPercent of portfolio:20.7%Conifer Management, a New York hedge fund with $7.7 billion in AUM, has more than a fifth of its portfolio invested in Chinese e-commerce giantAlibaba(BABA, $213.96).Indeed, after upping its stake by 147%, or 884,845 shares, in Q1, BABA is Conifer's top holding. Its total stake of 1.5 million shares was worth $336.7 million at the end of the first quarter.Conifer initiated its stake in BABA only in the final quarter of last year. To the hedge fund's credit, this stock pick is a highly defensible investment idea.Alibaba is sometimes called the Amazon of China. There are important differences between the two, but they do share the enviable trait of being undisputed titans ine-commerce.And like Amazon, Alibaba has never shied away from investing heavily to both build out its existing businesses and enter new ones. As a result, BABA finds itself spreading beyond its core e-commerce business into cloud computing, digital payments and more.It also helps that BABA and investors can now move past a $2.75 billion fine imposed by Chinese regulators for violating anti-monopoly laws.Some analysts worry about decelerating revenue in the company's cloud services business, but the majority of the Street sees recent share-price weakness as a buying opportunity.The consensus recommendation of 49 analysts tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence comes to Strong Buy on BABA stock.MastercardMarket value:$357.4 billionBillionaire investor:Valley Forge Capital ManagementPercent of portfolio:22.6%If Valley Forge Capital Management likes Visa – as noted above – it absolutely adores competitorMastercard(MA, $360.58).The Wayne, Pennsylvania-based hedge fund with $1.1 billion in AUM almost doubled its stake in this stock pick in the first quarter. And with more than a fifth of its portfolio tied up in the payments processor, Mastercard is Valley Forge's top holding.The hedge fund bought another 665,544 shares, representing a 98% increase, in Q1, bringing its total holdings to 1.3 million shares. The position was worth $477.9 million as of March 31.Valley Forge, which owns 0.14% of MA's shares outstanding, has been an investor in the company since 2016. It's a bet that appears to have done quite well. Mastercard stock's five-year total return – price appreciation plus dividends – comes to 30.8%, according to Morningstar data. That beats its sector by 5.7 percentage points and leads the broader market by 13.4 percentage points.Like Visa, Mastercard has relentless growth in digital mobile payments and other cashless transactions at its back.\"Mastercard is a key beneficiary of the long-term secular shift toward electronic forms of payments, and that new technology is helping accelerate the shift,\" writes William Blair analyst Robert Napoli (Outperform)And, just like Visa, MA has a lot of fans on the Street. Analysts' consensus recommendation stands at Buy.FacebookMarket value:$932.1 billionBillionaire investor:Altarock PartnersPercent of portfolio:24.4%There's a strong bull case to be made forFacebook(FB, $328.73), the social media giant that forms a digital-ad duopoly with Google. Just ask Altarock Partners.This hedge fund, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, with AUM of $3.1 billion, has almost a quarter of its portfolio socked away in Facebook stock. After buying another 465,800 shares, a 27% increase, in Q1, the hedge fund is sitting on 2.2 million shares worth $641.4 million as of March 31.That makes FB Altarock's second-largest holding.And just who is at No. 1?None other than Google parent Alphabet, which commands 25.1% of Altarock's investment portfolio.The hedge fund first bought FB in the fourth quarter of last year, so it's building up its position on the stock pick pretty rapidly. And well it should, if analysts are right about this name.The Street's consensus recommendation on FB stands at Strong Buy, as analysts forecast the company to deliver truly impressive profit growth for some time.\"We believe Facebook's share gains during the pandemic and new initiatives in e-commerce can drive many years of above-market growth,\" writes Stifel analyst John Egbert (Buy). \"We are comfortable with the potential outcomes of antitrust inquiries and believe FB shares offer investors a rare combination of growth and value relative to its peers.\"SeagenMarket value:$28.2 billionBillionaire investor:Felix and Julian Baker (Baker Bros. Advisors)Percent of portfolio:29.7%Seagen(SGEN, $155.35), a biotechnology firm specializing in oncology treatments, couldn't get a bigger vote of confidence than being the top holding of Baker Bros. Advisors.This New York-based hedge fund with $35.8 billion in AUM is led by billionaire biotech investors Julian and Felix Baker. The brothers may keep a low profile, but they're plenty famous in the world ofbiotech stocks. A series of successful investments have allowed the Bakers to build an estimated combined fortune of about $4 billion, according to Forbes.And judging by their latest regulatory filings, the brothers have great expectations for Seagen, too. The stock pick accounts for nearly 30% of the total value of the Baker Bros.' holdings, up from 28.5% three months ago.The increase stems in part from Baker Bros. buying another 347,745 shares in SGEN in the first quarter of 2021. The fund's total holdings of 47.6 million shares were worth more than $7 billion at the end of Q1.The stake gives Baker Bros. ownership of 26.3% of SGEN's shares outstanding, which makes it the biotech company's largest shareholder by a wide margin. The second-largest investor – Capital Research and Management – holds only 8.6% of SGEN's shares outstanding.The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.TRENDING TOPICSTRENDING ARTICLES","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3570360623104656","authorId":"3570360623104656","name":"zhen130","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/553509e2e649eaf0d39f267a7e6de1a1","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3570360623104656","authorIdStr":"3570360623104656"},"content":"Pls reply","text":"Pls reply","html":"Pls reply"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167178060,"gmtCreate":1624255354050,"gmtModify":1703831711718,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment","listText":"Like comment","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167178060","repostId":"1154249454","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154249454","pubTimestamp":1624230573,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1154249454?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-21 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nike, FedEx, Johnson & Johnson, Darden, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1154249454","media":"barrons","summary":"A handful of notable companies will release their latest results toward the end of this week.Nike,FedEx,andDarden Restaurantswill report on Thursday, followed by CarMax and Paychex on Friday.

Officials from the Federal Reserve will also enter their \"blackout period\" ahead of their June policy-setting meeting.</p><p>Still, new data on consumer price inflation will be of interest, since market participants have been looking for signs that the post-pandemic recovery is generating a surge in prices amid supply chain and labor shortages and booming demand.</p><p>The Labor Department's May consumer price index (CPI) on Thursday will show the latest on these price trends for the average American. Consensus economists are looking for the index to register a 0.4% month-on-month increase after a 0.8% surge in April. And over last year, the headline CPI is expected to jump 4.7%, or by the most since 2008.</p><p>The core CPI, or more closely watched measure excluding volatile food and energy prices, is expected to rise 0.4% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year. The latter would mark the greatest jump in nearly three decades.</p><p>\"Thursday’s CPI data will be scrutinized after last month’s report sent up a flare on higher inflation,\" David Donabedian, chief investment officer of CIBC Private Wealth, wrote in an email on Friday. \"While the consensus is for a 0.4% monthly increase, the risk is probably to the upside as bottlenecks and other supply constraints push costs higher.\"</p><p>Last month's greater-than-expected surge in the April consumer price index contributed to a 2% selloff in the S&amp;P 500, with concerns over fast-rising and persistent inflation threatening to dampen the growth potential of longer-duration stocks especially. Market participants have also been monitoring inflation data with an eye to its implications for monetary policy, with the Federal Reserve looking for inflation to average above 2% for a period of time before rolling back some of its crisis-era support.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2021-06/7b67e850-c568-11eb-8eff-e0f80513b616\" tg-width=\"3928\" tg-height=\"2619\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 24: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell testifies during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC.

(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)Drew Angerer via Getty Images</span></p><p>Most Fed officials and outside economists have suggested the jump in inflation reflected in the data for this spring will be transitory, largely reflecting the result of base effects off last year's pandemic-depressed levels. However, consumers have also begun to increasingly expect higher inflation in the future, with this shift in psychology also contributing in part to the Fed's decision-making. In <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> example, the University of Michigan's final May consumer sentiment index dipped compared to April in part due to concerns that higher inflation would weaken spending power.</p><p>\"Shifting policy language and a small rate increase could douse inflationary psychology; it would be no surprise to consumers, as two-thirds already expect higher interest rates in the year ahead,\" Richard Curtin, chief economist for the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers, said in a press statement at the time.</p><p>Still, inflation and price stability represents just one prong of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate, with the other being achieving maximum employment. To that end, Friday's May jobs report suggested the economy remained a ways off from the Fed's goals, with U.S. employers adding back just 559,000 payrolls versus the 675,000 expected and leaving the economy still 7.6 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels.</p><p>\"The inflation narrative is secondary for the taper discussion, but it is still a consideration. With inflation pressures rising, the risk assessment has likely shifted a bit,\" Michelle Meyer, Bank of America U.S. economist, wrote in a note on Friday. \"The concern for Fed officials is less about strong core CPI prints and more about the drift higher in inflation expectations coupled with signs of a wage-price push. This can make the temporary gains in inflation more persistent.\"</p><h2>GameStop earnings</h2><p>Some fundamental news will be coming out this week for investors in GameStop (GME), one of the original names to be swept up in the \"meme stock\" frenzy at the beginning of this year.</p><p>GameStop is set to report fiscal first-quarter results Wednesday after market close, offering an update on the company's business as retail investor interest in the stock remains heightened.</p><p>Consensus analysts expect GameStop will post adjusted losses of 59 cents per share for the three months ended in April, with this loss narrowing from the $1.61 per share reported in the same three months of last year. Revenue is expected to grow 14% to $1.17 billion.</p><p>Investors on the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets pushed up shares of GameStop initially in January, flocking en masse to the heavily shorted stock to force short-sellers to cover their positions and push the stock's price even higher. Shares of GameStop have rallied by more than 1,200% for the year-to-date through Friday's close.</p><p>According to data from S3 Partners' Ihor Dusaniwsky, short interest in GameStop totaled $2.99 billion as of Friday's close, with 11.58 million shares shorted for a 20.3% short percent of float. Short sellers in GameStop were down by $294 million last week, he added.</p><p>But in recent weeks, AMC Entertainment (AMC) — another heavily shorted stock — eclipsed GameStop in terms of online interest and in share price appreciation. Shares of AMC have risen by more than 400% over the past one month, compared to a 56% increase in shares of GameStop. And AMC's market capitalization eclipsed that of GameStop last week, with the former's market value jumping above $30 billion.</p><p>The vast majority of the moves in the meme stocks were driven by social media popularity as opposed to traditional measures of stock valuation such as earnings and expected future cash flows. However, some have asserted that there is a fundamental argument to be made for investing in shares of AMC and GameStop, with the consumer-facing, brick-and-mortar businesses benefiting from the same \"reopening trade\" rotation that has lifted airline, cruise line, leisure stocks and retailers.</p><p>Still, most Wall Street analysts remain on the sidelines.

Officials from the Federal Reserve will also enter their \"blackout period\" ahead of their June policy-setting meeting.Still, new data on consumer price inflation will be of interest, since market participants have been looking for signs that the post-pandemic recovery is generating a surge in prices amid supply chain and labor shortages and booming demand.The Labor Department's May consumer price index (CPI) on Thursday will show the latest on these price trends for the average American. Consensus economists are looking for the index to register a 0.4% month-on-month increase after a 0.8% surge in April. And over last year, the headline CPI is expected to jump 4.7%, or by the most since 2008.The core CPI, or more closely watched measure excluding volatile food and energy prices, is expected to rise 0.4% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year. The latter would mark the greatest jump in nearly three decades.\"Thursday’s CPI data will be scrutinized after last month’s report sent up a flare on higher inflation,\" David Donabedian, chief investment officer of CIBC Private Wealth, wrote in an email on Friday. \"While the consensus is for a 0.4% monthly increase, the risk is probably to the upside as bottlenecks and other supply constraints push costs higher.\"Last month's greater-than-expected surge in the April consumer price index contributed to a 2% selloff in the S&P 500, with concerns over fast-rising and persistent inflation threatening to dampen the growth potential of longer-duration stocks especially. Market participants have also been monitoring inflation data with an eye to its implications for monetary policy, with the Federal Reserve looking for inflation to average above 2% for a period of time before rolling back some of its crisis-era support.WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 24: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell testifies during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC. Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are testifying about the CARES Act and the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)Drew Angerer via Getty ImagesMost Fed officials and outside economists have suggested the jump in inflation reflected in the data for this spring will be transitory, largely reflecting the result of base effects off last year's pandemic-depressed levels. However, consumers have also begun to increasingly expect higher inflation in the future, with this shift in psychology also contributing in part to the Fed's decision-making. In one example, the University of Michigan's final May consumer sentiment index dipped compared to April in part due to concerns that higher inflation would weaken spending power.\"Shifting policy language and a small rate increase could douse inflationary psychology; it would be no surprise to consumers, as two-thirds already expect higher interest rates in the year ahead,\" Richard Curtin, chief economist for the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers, said in a press statement at the time.Still, inflation and price stability represents just one prong of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate, with the other being achieving maximum employment. To that end, Friday's May jobs report suggested the economy remained a ways off from the Fed's goals, with U.S. employers adding back just 559,000 payrolls versus the 675,000 expected and leaving the economy still 7.6 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels.\"The inflation narrative is secondary for the taper discussion, but it is still a consideration. With inflation pressures rising, the risk assessment has likely shifted a bit,\" Michelle Meyer, Bank of America U.S. economist, wrote in a note on Friday. \"The concern for Fed officials is less about strong core CPI prints and more about the drift higher in inflation expectations coupled with signs of a wage-price push. This can make the temporary gains in inflation more persistent.\"GameStop earningsSome fundamental news will be coming out this week for investors in GameStop (GME), one of the original names to be swept up in the \"meme stock\" frenzy at the beginning of this year.GameStop is set to report fiscal first-quarter results Wednesday after market close, offering an update on the company's business as retail investor interest in the stock remains heightened.Consensus analysts expect GameStop will post adjusted losses of 59 cents per share for the three months ended in April, with this loss narrowing from the $1.61 per share reported in the same three months of last year. Revenue is expected to grow 14% to $1.17 billion.Investors on the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets pushed up shares of GameStop initially in January, flocking en masse to the heavily shorted stock to force short-sellers to cover their positions and push the stock's price even higher. Shares of GameStop have rallied by more than 1,200% for the year-to-date through Friday's close.According to data from S3 Partners' Ihor Dusaniwsky, short interest in GameStop totaled $2.99 billion as of Friday's close, with 11.58 million shares shorted for a 20.3% short percent of float. Short sellers in GameStop were down by $294 million last week, he added.But in recent weeks, AMC Entertainment (AMC) — another heavily shorted stock — eclipsed GameStop in terms of online interest and in share price appreciation. Shares of AMC have risen by more than 400% over the past one month, compared to a 56% increase in shares of GameStop. And AMC's market capitalization eclipsed that of GameStop last week, with the former's market value jumping above $30 billion.The vast majority of the moves in the meme stocks were driven by social media popularity as opposed to traditional measures of stock valuation such as earnings and expected future cash flows. However, some have asserted that there is a fundamental argument to be made for investing in shares of AMC and GameStop, with the consumer-facing, brick-and-mortar businesses benefiting from the same \"reopening trade\" rotation that has lifted airline, cruise line, leisure stocks and retailers.Still, most Wall Street analysts remain on the sidelines. Three analysts gave GameStop's shares a sell recommendation and two offered a hold, according to Bloomberg data last week. Likewise, AMC garnered four Sell ratings and five Holds. No analysts rated either stock as a Buy, with the vast majority of analysts suggesting the stocks' prices had outrun the underlying value of the businesses. And last week, major banks including Bank of America, Citigroup and Jefferies tightened rules over which clients could participate in short selling of the meme stocks, in an attempt to limit exposure to the extreme volatility these securities have witnessed recently, Bloomberg reported.But given the lasting explosion in meme stocks this year, many have conceded that social media-driven trading represents a paradigm shift in the market.“This is no longer our grandparents’, or for that matter, our parents' stock market,” Zephyr Market Strategist Ryan Nauman told Yahoo Finance. “Now, investment professionals need to start focusing more on looking at alternative data sets, rethinking their investment thesis to consider this growing cohort of retail investors.”Others suggested the heightened speculative trading among retail investors may begin to dwindle once more investors are pulled back into workplaces in person and time at home for trading becomes scarcer.\"Participation of the retail investor in U.S. equities has very, very closely followed inversely the COVID timeline. So one of my favorite charts is looking at an Apple mobility index for the U.S., you invert it, and you overlay whatever your favorite measure of retail participation is ... and there is a very striking correlation,\" Binky Chadha, Deustche Bank chief global strategist, told Yahoo Finance on Thursday. \"So I would argue that the participation is following this ... and the thesis is that as markets reopen, retail participation is going to come down.\"\"We tend to think of it as a flash in the pan as opposed to a change in the trend,\" he concluded.Economic CalendarMonday: Consumer credit ($20.000 billion expected, $25.841 billion in March)Tuesday: NFIB Small Business Optimism, May (100.5 expected, 99.8 in April); Trade balance, April (-$69.0 billion expected, -$74.4 billion in March); JOLTS Job Openings, April (8.123 million in March)Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended June 4 (-4.0% during prior week); Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, April final (0.8% expected, 0.8% in prior print)Thursday: Consumer price index, month-over-month, May (0.4% expected, 0.8% in April); Consumer price index excluding food and energy, month-over-month, May (0.4% expected, 0.9% in April); Consumer price index, year-over-year, May (4.7% expected, 4.2% in April); Consumer price index excluding food and energy, year-over-year, May (3.4% expected, 3.0% in April); Initial jobless claims, week ended June 5 (372,000 expected, 385,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended May 29 (3.771 million during prior week); Household change in net worth, Q1 ($6.93 trillion in Q4); Monthly budget statement, May (-$225.6 billion in April)Friday: University of Michigan sentiment, June preliminary (84.0 expected, 82.9 in May)Earnings CalendarMonday: Coupa Software (COUP), StitchFix (SFIX) after market closeTuesday: N/AWednesday: RH (RH), GameStop (GME) after market closeThursday: FuelCell Energy (FCEL) before market open; Chewy (CHWY), Dave & Buster's Entertainment (PLAY) after market closeFriday: N/A","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112210629,"gmtCreate":1622872911761,"gmtModify":1704192845971,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like comment&nbsp;","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/112210629","repostId":"1106312903","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106312903","pubTimestamp":1622855773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106312903?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-05 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Digital Payments, Mental Health Services, And More In A Diverse 8 IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106312903","media":"Renaissance Capital","summary":"Summary\n\nEight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental h","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</li>\n <li>Payments platform Marqeta plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.</li>\n <li>Chinese online recruitment platform Kanzhun plans to raise $864 million at an $8.2 billion market cap.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</p>\n<p>Payments platform&nbsp;<b>Marqeta</b>(MQ) plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.

These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.</p>\n<p><b>Are FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Looking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at least<i>were</i>a good investment in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae2b8e2b9caf99f74c28bafc10a0a872\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>With gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.</p>\n<p>These factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef865eea7af4369048432a9c85d1d83\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"540\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from&nbsp;Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.</p>\n<p><b>What Investors Can Expect From Apple</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate&nbsp;in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Both Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fd8043ca75dcb2c38f5ffa427c8c0b9\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Facebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3d49e0007aa77608b2992a9fef2142d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b16c9b3e2eac182d42686bcd8a98fc5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.</p>\n<p>To sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Alphabet</b></p>\n<p>When we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6360514d097081c546a0ccacfbdc7af6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Alphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhat<i>smaller</i>net cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.</p>\n<p>All in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Netflix And Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.</p>\n<p>This huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ccc2536fa3cadf06639a89e0b211b9a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>AMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.</p>\n<p>Netflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d84f013051fbb00b6b488f5cfed66d4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Netflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&amp;T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.</p>\n<p>Amazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.</p>\n<p><b>Which Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Not every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.</p>\n<p>Alphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.</p>\n<p>Depending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine. I'd be glad to hear your top picks and reasoning in the comment section!</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>Is Apple A Better Buy Than Other FAANG Stocks?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIs Apple A Better Buy Than Other FAANG Stocks?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-26 07:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436558-apple-better-buy-faang-stocks><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple undoubtedly is a great company, with a strong brand, excellent margins, and fundamentals, a fortress balance sheet, and massive shareholder returns.\nBeing a great company does not mean ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436558-apple-better-buy-faang-stocks\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436558-apple-better-buy-faang-stocks","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1108941456","content_text":"Summary\n\nApple undoubtedly is a great company, with a strong brand, excellent margins, and fundamentals, a fortress balance sheet, and massive shareholder returns.\nBeing a great company does not mean that the stock must be a great buy.

Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:\nData by YCharts\nAt 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.\nWhat Investors Can Expect From Apple\nApple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.\nApple Versus Facebook\nBoth Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nFacebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:\nData by YCharts\nThe fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:\nData by YCharts\nWhile Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.\nTo sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.\nApple Versus Alphabet\nWhen we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.\nData by YCharts\nAlphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.\nNevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhatsmallernet cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.\nAll in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.\nApple Versus Netflix And Amazon\nLooking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.\nThis huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:\nData by YCharts\nAMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.\nNetflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:\nData by YCharts\nNetflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.\nAmazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.\nWhich Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?\nNot every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.\nAlphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.\nDepending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine. I'd be glad to hear your top picks and reasoning in the comment section!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164383847,"gmtCreate":1624171741389,"gmtModify":1703830125236,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment","listText":"Like comment","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/164383847","repostId":"1199331995","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199331995","pubTimestamp":1624065374,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199331995?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-19 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Billion-Dollar Deals Come To Market In A 12 IPO Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199331995","media":"Renaissance","summary":"12 IPOs are scheduled to raise $5.6 billion in the week ahead led by two billion-dollar deals.Chinese freight platform Full Truck Alliance plans to raise $1.5 billion at a $19.7 billion market cap.

They were impossible to miss:&nbsp;More than 7,500 spots featuring a frenetic, motor-mouthed spokesperson bombilating frenetically about the “in-saaaaaaaaane” discounts offered by the store.</p>\n<p>Crazy Eddie was never the biggest retail operation in the region. At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.</p>\n<p>But the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,<b>Eddie Antar.</b></p>\n<p><b>An Audacious Start:</b>Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York,&nbsp;on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.</p>\n<p>By 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.</p>\n<p>At the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price&nbsp;all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.</p>\n<p>Some manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.</p>\n<p>The stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.</p>\n<p>But how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work&nbsp;enabled them to put their ethics on hold.</p>\n<p>“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”</p>\n<p>Sights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.</p>\n<p>Antar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.</p>\n<p>The co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.</p>\n<p><b>An Advertising Assault:</b>The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion —&nbsp;he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.</p>\n<p>Antar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys.

They were impossible to miss: More than 7,500 spots featuring a frenetic, motor-mouthed spokesperson bombilating frenetically about the “in-saaaaaaaaane” discounts offered by the store.\nCrazy Eddie was never the biggest retail operation in the region. At its peak, there were only 43 locations spread across four states.\nBut the ubiquity of the commercials made it seem more prominent than it actually was, and the excess attention eventually brought harsh spotlights on the financial chicanery perpetrated by its chief executive,Eddie Antar.\nAn Audacious Start:Eddie Antar was born in Brooklyn, New York, on Dec. 18, 1947, the grandson of Syrian Jewish immigrants. Antar was an intelligent youth but found school boring, dropping out at 16 to work odd jobs before setting up a small stand at New York’s Port Authority in the heart of Manhattan where he sold portable televisions. While Antar belatedly realized he had the wrong product line in the wrong location, he used the experience to sharpen his sales skills.\nBy 1969, Antar saved up enough money to go into business with his father Sam and cousin named Ronnie Gindi, creating a retail operation called ERS Electronics. They opened an electronics store in the Kings Highway business shopping district in Brooklyn called Sights and Sounds.\nAt the time, small and independently-owned electronics retailers operated at a significant disadvantage against major chains due to the fair trade laws of the era that enabled manufacturers to establish a single standard retail price all retailers needed to list. To stand out from the competition, Antar challenged the laws by marking down his merchandise, thus offering a discount absent elsewhere in this retail sector.\nSome manufacturers got wise to this and refused to do business with Antar, but he circumvented their boycott by purchasing excess stock from other businesses and obtaining products through grey-market channels from overseas sources.\nThe stress was great and Gindi eventually lost interest in the enterprise, selling his one-third of the business to Antar.\nBut how could the store remain afloat financially through its seemingly reckless discounting? As Antar’s father Sam would later recall in an interview, the lo-fi nature of old-school retailing work enabled them to put their ethics on hold.\n“Back then, most customers paid in cash,” he said. “If we don’t disclose the sale, we keep the sales tax. That’s a good cushion to be able to afford to beat the competition.”\nSights and Sounds began to attract bargain hunters from outside of Brooklyn and Antar turned into something of a one-man, in-store comedy show, going so far as taking the shoes of cash-strapped customers who wanted to buy stereos for deposits and jokingly preventing shoppers from leaving unless they made a purchase.\nAntar’s shtick was so amusing that his first wife Deborah came home one evening in 1971 with a story about how one of her co-workers was talking about his shopping trip to Sights and Sounds.\nThe co-worker, who was unaware of Deborah’s connection to the store, talked happily about dealing with a salesperson that he dubbed “Crazy Eddie.” At that point, Antar decided to change the name of Sights and Sounds to Crazy Eddie.\nAn Advertising Assault:The fair trade law that initially stifled Antar and other smaller businesses was repealed in 1972. Antar’s aggressive discounting and colorful personality enabled him to prepare for a business expansion — he moved to a larger store on Kings Highway, then opened a location in the Long Island town of Syosset in 1973 and in the heart of Manhattan in 1975.\nAntar recognized how his larger competitors used advertising to their advantage, and in 1972 he began marketing his business over the airwaves via WPIX-FM, a popular music station that mixed rock oldies with current Top 40 hits. Antar created an ad copy script that would be read live on the air by Jerry Carroll, one of the station’s disk jockeys. But Carroll decided to improvise, reading the copy in a mock-frenzied manner and creating a new closing line with “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nRather than be upset by the deviation to the script, Antar was ecstatic with Carroll’s flippant approach as his delivery stood out wildly from the other advertising running on the station. Antar contracted Carroll to be his on-air pitchman for radio, and in 1975 Carroll was brought in front of the cameras for a television campaign.\nIt was through the television commercials Crazy Eddie became the center of consumer attention. For the next 10 years, the commercials offered endless variations on the same set-up: Carroll wore the same outfit — a dark blazer and a turtleneck sweater — and stood surrounded by displays of the electronics being peddled.\nEach commercial ran about 30 seconds, but Carroll spoke so rapidly that it seemed he was trying to cover 60 seconds of a script in half of his allotted time.\nCarroll’s physical delivery was comically spastic, with flailing arms, bulging eyes and the most manic smile this side of the Joker.\nHe would inevitably challenge shoppers to “shop around, get the best prices you can find, then bring ’em to Crazy Eddie and he’ll beat ’em.” And each commercial ended with Carroll stretching his arms out while proclaiming, “Crazy Eddie — his prices are in-saaaaaaaaane.”\nThere would be a few variations to the presentation, including a Christmas season ad campaign and a “Christmas in August” summertime effort with Carroll dressed in a Santa suit while being pelted with Styrofoam snowballs and papery snowflakes.\nA couple of movie spoof spots put Carroll in parodies of “Casablanca,” “Saturday Night Fever,” “Superman” and “10,” and one ad had a man in a gorilla suit grunting dialogue while subtitles offered simian-to-English translations.\nNot So Funny:After the commercials came on in full force, Crazy Eddie generated $350 million in annual revenue during its prime years.\nBut as Crazy Eddie grew, Antar’s approach to business became more problematic: cash payments were not recorded, the sales tax was pocketed and employees received off-the-books pay rather than paychecks that clearly deducted federal and state taxes.\nAntar helped finance his cousin Sam Antar’s college education and brought him on as a chief financial officer, but Sam would later recall this was not done out of love of family.\n“The whole purpose of the business was to commit premeditated fraud,” Sam recounted in an interview with MentalFloss.com. “My family put me through college to help them commit more sophisticated fraud in the future. I was trained to be a criminal.\n\"People have a certain idea of Crazy Eddie — in reality, it was a dark criminal enterprise.”\nAntar initially kept his ill-gotten gains hidden within his home, but later began sending the money far into the world. Offshore bank accounts in Canada, Gibraltar, Israel, Liberia, Luxembourg, Panama and Switzerland were set up, and by the early 1980s, Antar and his family were skimming upwards of $4 million annually in unreported income and unpaid taxes.\nEventually, the graft became too big to easily hide. The solution, Antar theorized, was not to hide but to be in the greatest spotlight imaginable: Antar decided to take Crazy Eddie public.\nHello, Wall Street:Crazy Eddie conducted its initial public offering on Sept. 13, 1984, taking the NASDAQ symbol CRZY. The popularity of the television commercials helped bring in the initial wave of investor interest, while gourmet-level cooked books gave the phony impression of a well-run retail operation.\nTwo years after first trading at $8 a share, Crazy Eddie stock was at a split-adjusted $75 per share.\nWhy Antar believed he could continue with his shenanigans amid the added scrutiny given to public companies is a mystery, but by 1987 he found himself in lethal shoals.\nThe increased retail competition saw Crazy Eddie’s sales decline, resulting in a tumbling stock price.\nAntar announced his resignation in December 1986, but four months later he shocked shareholders by revealing he never stepped down — and while still at the helm, he sold off his shares in the company, gaining about $30 million in the transaction.\nThe company had begun planning to go private when an outside investor group successfully agitated to take over what they believed to be a struggling but respectable company.

Federal and state investigations overwhelmed what remained of the Crazy Eddie and Antar was hit with an endless flurry of lawsuits.\n\"By any measure, this is a staggering securities fraud,\" saidMichael Chertoff, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, who accused the Antars of creating \"a giant bubble\" rather than a successful business.\nBy 1990, Antar disappeared after failing to appear at a court hearing.

They expected this to extend “into the back-to-school season as kids returning to school will be a catalyst for many parents to return to the office.”\nThe growing influence of younger shoppers was also important, the Cowen analysts said, with retailers leaning into the values most important to this group of consumers, such as body positivity, having a purpose beyond profit and sustainability.\nWith these insights in mind, Cowen analysts ranked their “top conviction” retail stocks which they expect to outperform the market.\nFarfetch\nBritish-Portuguese online luxury fashion retail platform Farfetch was at the top of Cowen’s “Top Conviction Stocks” list.\nThe analysts, led by Oliver Chen, said the online luxury fashion market would continue to have strong momentum, even with physical stores re-opening, as consumers continue to prefer to shop online.\nThey expected New York-listed firm Farfetch to benefit from this trend, particularly given its launch on Alibaba-owned Chinese online retail platform Tmall in March.\nMYT Netherlands Parent BV\nThe U.S.-listed German holding company, MYT Netherlands Parent BV, which owns luxury fashion e-commerce business Mytheresa, was second on the analysts’ list.\nThey continued to like Mytheresa’s curation of fashion line edits and said an increase in its exclusive events for VIP customers would “fuel growth across regions, especially in Europe.”\nIn a note deep-divingin to the stock, published in February, Cowen analysts highlighted that Mytheresa’s curation and content strategy made it “un-Amazonable.”\nFor instance, it has created campaign videos, fashion films and music videos for brands, particularly for exclusive capsule collections. Fashion designer Stella McCartney created an exclusive capsule collection of 11 pieces for Mytheresa, for example.\nAmerican Eagle Outfitters\nU.S. stock American Eagle Outfitters came third on Cowen’s list, partly due to its continued “body positivity innovation” at its women’s clothing brand Aerie. In addition, they anticipated that Aerie’s activewear range, OFFLINE, would help drive sales and attract new customers into the second half of 2021.\nThe analysts said American Eagle Outfitters was their “top back-to-school pick.” They expected the business to benefit from a return of the “denim cycle,” which is used to describe a longer-term shift in styles.\nKohl’s\nCowen’s analysts believed the back-to-school season would mean strong business for U.S. department store Kohl’s, which it ranked fourth on its “Top Conviction” list.\nIn addition, they pointed to Kohl’s partnership with cosmetics chain Sephora, which was announced at the end of last year. The first 200 “Sephora at Kohl’s” locations are set to open in the fall.\nKohl’s has also focused on using more sustainably-sourced cotton, polyester and other fabrics.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181436043,"gmtCreate":1623405894082,"gmtModify":1704202721593,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/181436043","repostId":"2142022769","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142022769","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1623380100,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2142022769?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-11 10:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"We put 6 more meme stocks' numbers to the test and the differences are telling","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142022769","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Digging deeper into the the meme stock phenomenon, there are big difference between Palantir, Wendy's, Canoo and other companies.The world of meme stocks is changing every day as traders communicating through Reddit's WallStreetBets channel and other social media set their sights on new targets for short squeezes or find other downtrodden companies to bid up in price.After last week's look at financial results and projections for the four BANG stocks and four other meme companies, what follows i","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Digging deeper into the the meme stock phenomenon, there are big difference between Palantir, Wendy's, Canoo and other companies.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The world of meme stocks is changing every day as traders communicating through Reddit's WallStreetBets channel and other social media set their sights on new targets for short squeezes or find other downtrodden companies to bid up in price.</p>\n<p>After last week's look at financial results and projections for the four BANG stocks and four other meme companies, what follows is the same treatment for six more.</p>\n<p>(The BANG stocks are BlackBerry Ltd. (BB.T), AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$(AMC)$</a>, Nokia Corp. (NOKIA.HE) and GameStop Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$(GME)$</a>.)</p>\n<p><b>Short squeezes and meme stocks</b></p>\n<p>Traders looking to group together on social media to make quick killings by pushing up share prices of companies at early stages or those going through difficult times have been setting up short squeezes.</p>\n<p>Professional investors have traditionally short-sold shares of companies they believe will perform worse than most other investors or analysts expect. Shorting means borrowing a company's shares and selling them immediately, in the hope of buying them back at a lower price, returning them to the lender and pocketing the difference. If you simply buy a stock hoping it will go up, all you risk is the money you invest. You might get wiped out. But if you short a stock, your risk potential is unlimited. You never know how high the price might rise if you have gotten the trade wrong.</p>\n<p>\"Covering\" a short position is when you buy back the shares to return them to the investor who lent them to you. You are hoping to cover at a lower price than you sold the shares for, to make a profit.</p>\n<p>To have a short position, you need to have a margin account with a broker -- an account that lets you borrow to invest or trade. Because of the risk in taking a short position, if the share price goes against you (higher), your broker will keep increasing its collateral requirements. If you run out of cash as the price keeps rising, you will be forced to cover at a loss. That type of action among a large group of short-sellers pushes the price higher in a spiral -- a short squeeze.</p>\n<p><b>Six more meme stocks</b></p>\n<p>The action changes daily. On June 9, for example, shares of Clover Health Investments Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLOV\">$(CLOV)$</a> fell 24% after rising 86% the day before. The stock is 36.6% sold short, according to FactSet.</p>\n<p>Read:Newest meme stock darling Clover Health is popping. Is the SEC watching?</p>\n<p>Here are the six additional meme stocks, following our initial group of eight , sorted by market capitalization as of the close on June 9:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45b4fabbee4e18ee1b473200ab3a7c4b\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"300\"></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies Inc.</a> (PLTR) provides a software platform used by government defense and intelligence agencies. It is the largest company on the list by market cap, but not by revenue, as you can see below. A year-to-date chart of its price performance shows how wild the meme-stock action can be:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d9a8e2dfc61b0e4ff70a8630193cecb\" tg-width=\"1259\" tg-height=\"1038\"></p>\n<p>Palantir's stock was up 3% for 2021 through June 9, but its market cap had increased by 26% because the company had been raising cash by selling additional shares to investors. The company's following as a meme stock seems to spring more from its growth prospects than from short interest, which peaked at 8.5% of shares available for sale, according to FactSet.</p>\n<p>Wendy's Co. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WEN\">$(WEN)$</a> is another meme stock whose addition to the group may be a bit confusing, as the stock isn't heavily shorted and the company is stable. Thornton McEnery dug into the action on June 8, which may have included confusion over Wendy's ticker symbol , when the stock rose 26%.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WISH\">ContextLogic Inc.</a> (WISH) is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of two stocks on the new list that have fallen this year. The mobile e-commerce company's stock opened below its initial public offering price before the IPO.</p>\n<p><b>Short interest</b></p>\n<p>Keeping the group in the same order, here are levels of short interest as percentages of available shares and in dollars:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0875b54168c760b950d250308eb5efd\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"390\"></p>\n<p>FactSet's data on short positions as a percentage of shares outstanding is updated twice a month. The data was updated overnight between June 9 and 10. The second update takes place around the 25th day of the month.</p>\n<p>Clover is the most heavily shorted stock on the list. Brad Lamensdorf, CEO of ActiveAlts in Westport, Conn., who runs long and short investment strategies, said previously that a short percentage \"over 30% to 40% is outrageously high.\" (Lamensdorf co-manages the AdvisorShares <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HDGE\">Ranger Equity Bear ETF</a> (HDGE), which is meant to be used as a hedging tool.)</p>\n<p>A high percentage of shares sold short makes a stock especially dangerous for the short-sellers, because it can increase the intensity of any short squeeze.</p>\n<p>We have shown the short interest as a percentage of market cap in order to provide context. Tesla Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">$(TSLA)$</a> is an excellent example to provide more context, because the company has such a large market capitalization of $576.8 billion. Only 5.16% of the shares are sold short, but that comes to $29.8 billion in short interest -- the most (in dollars) for any stock in the S&amp;P 500. Amazon.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a> ranks second for dollars of short interest in the benchmark index, with 1.09% of shares sold short, which comes to $18.1 billion in short interest for a company with a market cap of $1.66 trillion.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOEV\">Canoo Inc.</a> (GOEV) is the second-most heavily shorted stock listed above, at 29.5%. The electric-vehicle maker was formed on Dec. 21 through the merger of Canoo Holdings Ltd. and Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. Canoo expects to produce its first vehicle in mid-2022 in limited quantities, with \"serial production launching in 2023,\" according to its 10-K report filed on March 31.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLNE\">Clean Energy Fuels Corp</a>. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLNE.AU\">$(CLNE.AU)$</a> provides natural gas for use as an alternative to gasoline or diesel for fleets of vehicles. The stock is 6.58% sold-short, but has had a good run this year as the energy sector has recovered.</p>\n<p><b>Fundamentals</b></p>\n<p>We'll look back at sales results for this group of six meme stocks and then look ahead at sales estimates through 2023.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Looking back</b></li>\n</ul>\n<p>First, here's a comparison of annual sales, in millions of dollars for the past five reported fiscal years (where available):</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bcc4fbd762406f0684e991d289b8b760\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"392\"></p>\n<p>You can see clear growth paths in recent years for Palantir, Wendy's and ContextLogic, while Clean Energy Fuels had understandable challenges from lower natural gas prices in 2020.</p>\n<p>Clover was incorporated on Oct. 18, 2019. It hasn't yet reported annual revenue. For the first quarter, the company reported $200.3 million in sales, up from $165.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. Clover merged with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IPOC.U\">Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. III</a> (a SPAC) on Jan. 7.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Looking ahead -- sales</b></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Starting from a baseline of calendar 2021, here are sales estimates going out through 2023 among Wall Street analysts polled by FactSet:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37c11916067fb3829caff57a89cf17f0\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"380\"></p>\n<p>Double-digit or better sales growth is expected for all of the companies over the next two years except Wendy's. Price-to-sale ratios, based on closing share prices on June 9 and the 2023 estimates, are included. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 trades for 2.5 times its weighted aggregate consensus sales estimate for 2023.</p>\n<p><b>Looking ahead -- earnings</b></p>\n<p>Here are earnings-per-share estimates going out to 2023:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4cf06aa00f9303dda82b1c3f8cf34c21\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"500\"></p>\n<p>You might not have expected the EPS projections to be particularly useful, but they underscore how high these stocks are trading. The S&amp;P 500 trades for 18.4 times its consensus EPS estimate for 2023.</p>\n<p>The estimates show expected improvement for Palantir, if it manages to maintain its rapid sales growth. Wendy's is expected to improve EPS significantly even with modest sale growth, in part because of stock buybacks .</p>\n<p><b>Wall Street's opinion</b></p>\n<p>Here's a summary of opinion for this group of meme stocks among Wall Street analysts:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2dfa61b27c34a6c17f5b4d2119126f9\" tg-width=\"1259\" tg-height=\"373\"></p>\n<p>So the Wall Street analysts have the most love for ContextLogic, with 82% \"buy\" or equivalent ratings. Second place goes to Clean Energy Fuels. For that company, the timing, in a year of economic and fuel-price recovery, not to mention the desire among many investors to help lower carbon emissions, seems perfect.</p>\n<p>Wall Street is skeptical of Palantir and Clover Health, but it would seem for different reasons, as Palantir already has a history of rapid sales growth.</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>We put 6 more meme stocks' numbers to the test and the differences are telling</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\">\nWe put 6 more meme stocks' numbers to the test and the differences are telling\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/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-06-11 10:55</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Digging deeper into the the meme stock phenomenon, there are big difference between Palantir, Wendy's, Canoo and other companies.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The world of meme stocks is changing every day as traders communicating through Reddit's WallStreetBets channel and other social media set their sights on new targets for short squeezes or find other downtrodden companies to bid up in price.</p>\n<p>After last week's look at financial results and projections for the four BANG stocks and four other meme companies, what follows is the same treatment for six more.</p>\n<p>(The BANG stocks are BlackBerry Ltd.

(BB.T), AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc $(AMC)$, Nokia Corp. (NOKIA.HE) and GameStop Corp. $(GME)$.)\nShort squeezes and meme stocks\nTraders looking to group together on social media to make quick killings by pushing up share prices of companies at early stages or those going through difficult times have been setting up short squeezes.\nProfessional investors have traditionally short-sold shares of companies they believe will perform worse than most other investors or analysts expect. Shorting means borrowing a company's shares and selling them immediately, in the hope of buying them back at a lower price, returning them to the lender and pocketing the difference. If you simply buy a stock hoping it will go up, all you risk is the money you invest. You might get wiped out. But if you short a stock, your risk potential is unlimited. You never know how high the price might rise if you have gotten the trade wrong.\n\"Covering\" a short position is when you buy back the shares to return them to the investor who lent them to you. You are hoping to cover at a lower price than you sold the shares for, to make a profit.\nTo have a short position, you need to have a margin account with a broker -- an account that lets you borrow to invest or trade. Because of the risk in taking a short position, if the share price goes against you (higher), your broker will keep increasing its collateral requirements. If you run out of cash as the price keeps rising, you will be forced to cover at a loss. That type of action among a large group of short-sellers pushes the price higher in a spiral -- a short squeeze.\nSix more meme stocks\nThe action changes daily. On June 9, for example, shares of Clover Health Investments Corp. $(CLOV)$ fell 24% after rising 86% the day before. The stock is 36.6% sold short, according to FactSet.\nRead:Newest meme stock darling Clover Health is popping. Is the SEC watching?\nHere are the six additional meme stocks, following our initial group of eight , sorted by market capitalization as of the close on June 9:\n\nPalantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) provides a software platform used by government defense and intelligence agencies. It is the largest company on the list by market cap, but not by revenue, as you can see below. A year-to-date chart of its price performance shows how wild the meme-stock action can be:\n\nPalantir's stock was up 3% for 2021 through June 9, but its market cap had increased by 26% because the company had been raising cash by selling additional shares to investors. The company's following as a meme stock seems to spring more from its growth prospects than from short interest, which peaked at 8.5% of shares available for sale, according to FactSet.\nWendy's Co. $(WEN)$ is another meme stock whose addition to the group may be a bit confusing, as the stock isn't heavily shorted and the company is stable. Thornton McEnery dug into the action on June 8, which may have included confusion over Wendy's ticker symbol , when the stock rose 26%.\nContextLogic Inc. (WISH) is one of two stocks on the new list that have fallen this year. The mobile e-commerce company's stock opened below its initial public offering price before the IPO.\nShort interest\nKeeping the group in the same order, here are levels of short interest as percentages of available shares and in dollars:\n\nFactSet's data on short positions as a percentage of shares outstanding is updated twice a month. The data was updated overnight between June 9 and 10. The second update takes place around the 25th day of the month.\nClover is the most heavily shorted stock on the list. Brad Lamensdorf, CEO of ActiveAlts in Westport, Conn., who runs long and short investment strategies, said previously that a short percentage \"over 30% to 40% is outrageously high.\" (Lamensdorf co-manages the AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF (HDGE), which is meant to be used as a hedging tool.)\nA high percentage of shares sold short makes a stock especially dangerous for the short-sellers, because it can increase the intensity of any short squeeze.\nWe have shown the short interest as a percentage of market cap in order to provide context. Tesla Inc. $(TSLA)$ is an excellent example to provide more context, because the company has such a large market capitalization of $576.8 billion. Only 5.16% of the shares are sold short, but that comes to $29.8 billion in short interest -- the most (in dollars) for any stock in the S&P 500. Amazon.com Inc. $(AMZN)$ ranks second for dollars of short interest in the benchmark index, with 1.09% of shares sold short, which comes to $18.1 billion in short interest for a company with a market cap of $1.66 trillion.\nCanoo Inc. (GOEV) is the second-most heavily shorted stock listed above, at 29.5%. The electric-vehicle maker was formed on Dec. 21 through the merger of Canoo Holdings Ltd. and Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. Canoo expects to produce its first vehicle in mid-2022 in limited quantities, with \"serial production launching in 2023,\" according to its 10-K report filed on March 31.\nClean Energy Fuels Corp. $(CLNE.AU)$ provides natural gas for use as an alternative to gasoline or diesel for fleets of vehicles. The stock is 6.58% sold-short, but has had a good run this year as the energy sector has recovered.\nFundamentals\nWe'll look back at sales results for this group of six meme stocks and then look ahead at sales estimates through 2023.\n\nLooking back\n\nFirst, here's a comparison of annual sales, in millions of dollars for the past five reported fiscal years (where available):\n\nYou can see clear growth paths in recent years for Palantir, Wendy's and ContextLogic, while Clean Energy Fuels had understandable challenges from lower natural gas prices in 2020.\nClover was incorporated on Oct. 18, 2019. It hasn't yet reported annual revenue. For the first quarter, the company reported $200.3 million in sales, up from $165.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. Clover merged with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. III (a SPAC) on Jan. 7.\n\nLooking ahead -- sales\n\nStarting from a baseline of calendar 2021, here are sales estimates going out through 2023 among Wall Street analysts polled by FactSet:\n\nDouble-digit or better sales growth is expected for all of the companies over the next two years except Wendy's. Price-to-sale ratios, based on closing share prices on June 9 and the 2023 estimates, are included. In comparison, the S&P 500 trades for 2.5 times its weighted aggregate consensus sales estimate for 2023.\nLooking ahead -- earnings\nHere are earnings-per-share estimates going out to 2023:\n\nYou might not have expected the EPS projections to be particularly useful, but they underscore how high these stocks are trading. The S&P 500 trades for 18.4 times its consensus EPS estimate for 2023.\nThe estimates show expected improvement for Palantir, if it manages to maintain its rapid sales growth. Wendy's is expected to improve EPS significantly even with modest sale growth, in part because of stock buybacks .\nWall Street's opinion\nHere's a summary of opinion for this group of meme stocks among Wall Street analysts:\n\nSo the Wall Street analysts have the most love for ContextLogic, with 82% \"buy\" or equivalent ratings. Second place goes to Clean Energy Fuels. For that company, the timing, in a year of economic and fuel-price recovery, not to mention the desire among many investors to help lower carbon emissions, seems perfect.\nWall Street is skeptical of Palantir and Clover Health, but it would seem for different reasons, as Palantir already has a history of rapid sales growth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":183055237,"gmtCreate":1623296043929,"gmtModify":1704200317233,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like comment&nbsp;","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/183055237","repostId":"1142408805","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1142408805","pubTimestamp":1623280126,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1142408805?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-10 07:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. stocks end lower ahead of inflation report","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1142408805","media":"reuters","summary":"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street ended a see-saw session lower on Wednesday as market participants a","content":"<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wall Street ended a see-saw session lower on Wednesday as market participants awaited inflation data for clues as to when the U.S. Federal Reserve might tighten its dovish monetary policy.</p>\n<p>The retail “meme stock” craze continued unabated.</p>\n<p>All three major U.S. stock indexes reversed earlier gains, but remained range-bound in the absence of any clear market catalysts.</p>\n<p>“There’s a lull period in terms of news,” said Chuck Carlson, chief executive at Horizon Investment Services in Hammond, Indiana. “We’re through earnings period and people are waiting for inflation numbers tomorrow, so you have a mixed market where the major averages aren’t doing much of anything.”</p>\n<p>Heavily shorted meme stocks extended their social media-driven rally, with Aethlon Medical soaring 388.2%.</p>\n<p>Reddit chatter also helped to lift shares of prison operator GEO Group and World Wrestling Entertainment 38.4% and 10.9%, respectively.</p>\n<p>However, other meme stocks such as Clover Health, AMC Entertainment and Bed Bath &amp; Beyond closed lower.</p>\n<p>Retail volume has returned to its January peak, according to Vanda Research, as social media forums scramble to identify the next GameStop Corp, the stock that kicked off the phenomenon.</p>\n<p>“It feels like alternative stock market,” Carlson added.

Why did inflation chatter cause such a reaction? It’s not inflation per se that’s the worry. The possible raising of interest rates to combat inflation is the real concern.</p>\n<p>For now, the Federal Reserve is OK&nbsp;keeping rates at current levels. But, that may not be the case in 2022. So, why are possibly rising interest rates a concern for growth stocks? Simple: valuation. It’s easier to justify frothy multiples for growth stocks in a near-zero interest rate environment. Given that growth stocks are&nbsp;priced based on projected earnings down the road, rising rates further discount future cash flows, which affects present value.</p>\n<p>Yet, following the brief pullback, these fears started to cool. Admittedly, it’s too early to tell whether investors are correctly assessing the situation. As Lule Demmissie, president of Ally Invest, said in a statement provided to<i>InvestorPlace</i>, we won’t know if the inflation we’ve seen lately is “truly transitory until the end of summer.”</p>\n<p>That is, the jury’s still out whether the inflation we’ve seen in recent months is due to the U.S. economy entering recovery mode with the novel coronavirus pandemic. If inflation cools more, as things get back to the “old normal,” we may be in the clear. This could pave the way for growth stocks, hard hit as of late, rebounding, as investors rotate back into them.</p>\n<p>So, which growth stocks could rebound, if inflation worries further dissipate? These seven, still down from their highs, may be ones set to bounce back:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Beyond Meat</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>BYND</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>DocuSign</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>DOCU</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Opendoor</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>OPEN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Penn National Gaming</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>PENN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Skillz</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SKLZ</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Teladoc Health</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TDOC</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Beyond Meat (BYND)</b></p>\n<p>Sure, with&nbsp;<b>Reddit</b>&nbsp;traders squeezing it, heavily shorted BYND stock made up for all of its May losses. After falling from around $135 per share, to briefly under $100 per share, it’s bounced back above where it was at the start of last month.</p>\n<p>But, this purveyor of plant-based “meat,” which has its share of skeptics, remains down substantially from the prices it fetched for back in February (around $175 per share). Now, not all of these losses are due to concerns about rising inflation and interest rates.</p>\n<p>Underwhelming sales numbers&nbsp;over the past few quarters&nbsp;cast doubt whether this growth story will live up to expectations. Analysts still estimate that revenue will increase&nbsp;more than 50% next year, as the shift to plant-based meat alternatives continues amid environmental and health concerns. If results start to meet (or even beat) projections, we could see more than just interest from meme stock speculators again in this once-hot stock.</p>\n<p>Yet, it may take more than blockbuster results to keep shares on an upward trajectory. It may take the lifting of fears that interest rates are set to rise sharply, before the markets again feel fine with giving this still-richly priced stock (Beyond Meat trades for around 10x estimated 2022 sales) an even higher forward multiple.</p>\n<p><b>DocuSign (DOCU)</b></p>\n<p>DocuSign is just one of many fast-growing tech names that crushed it stock price-wise last year and going into this year. Between pandemic tailwinds (like the shift to remote work), and near-zero interest rates, investors bid up the e-signature solutions provider to a valuation that gives it a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in the triple digits.</p>\n<p>Since the start of the rotation out of growth stocks, DOCU stock dropped more than 30% off its highs. Yet, shares aren’t exactly cheap, as they still sport a triple-digit forward P/E ratio (154.3x). Rising interest rates could result in further contraction. Even as earnings are expected to grow at a 40%+ annualized clip over the next two years.</p>\n<p>Right now, the 2020 top performer is holding steady at around $200 per share. If interest rates rise, we could see another dramatic drop. But, if inflation and interest rate fears cool, and it becomes clear the Fed won’t sharply shift from&nbsp;dovish&nbsp;to&nbsp;hawkish&nbsp;fiscal policy, coupled with&nbsp;continued better-than-expected results, we could see shares make a move back toward their past high water mark (around $290 per share).</p>\n<p>Some may be concerned that its underlying performance, boosted by last year’s stay-at-home environment may start to wane as we return to the “old normal.” But, with a more remote office environment&nbsp;likely here to stay, growth remains on the menu for Docusign.</p>\n<p><b>Opendoor (OPEN)</b></p>\n<p>Opendoor was one of several Chamath Palihapitiya-backed SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) hit hard by the&nbsp;SPAC wipeout. Many factors caused the beating down of blank-check stocks over the past few months. But, the&nbsp;initial inflation fears&nbsp;experienced back in February certainly played a role.</p>\n<p>Rising inflation may mean rising interest rates. And, rising interest rates impact stocks priced based on future rather than current results. And, that is what’s happened here with shares in this&nbsp;residential real estate i-buyer. Of course, the specter of rising rates could affect OPEN stock in more ways than just a contraction of its premium valuation.</p>\n<p>Supply outpacing demand is a factor in today’s&nbsp;manic housing market. But, rock bottom interest rates played a role as well. A hot market for residential homes helped Opendoor’s business, which is basically house-flipping on a massive scale. A sharp correction in this market, brought upon by a rapid rise in rates, could change this. And, not in a good way.</p>\n<p>Yet, it’s not set in stone this is how things will play out in residential real estate. As<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>Alex Sirois wrote May 27,shares may continue to trade sideways, as investors assess where housing is headed next. But, if interest rates end up not surging in the coming year, this market could see a soft landing, instead of a hard crash. That may not necessarily help boost OPEN stock (trading for around $16 per share). However, it could keep shares steady for investors buying it as a long-term “future of housing” play.</p>\n<p><b>Penn National Gaming (PENN)</b></p>\n<p>Its main business may still be brick-and-mortar casinos. But, what’s made Penn National a top performing stock since March 2020 has been its exposure to the i-gaming and online gambling megatrend.</p>\n<p>With its&nbsp;investment in&nbsp;<b>Barstool Sports</b>, and the launch of a sportsbook utilizing this brand name, investors have bet big that this company, with the customer base from its legacy business, coupled with the fan base of David Portnoy’s Barstool franchise, will become a dominant force in this fast-growing industry.</p>\n<p>However, over the past few months, shares pulled back massively from as high as $142 per share, to around $80 per share. What’s behind this? Mainly, the cool down in&nbsp;retail investor mania over this stock. The market realizes it’s going to take time for Penn National’s i-gaming unit to turn into a cash cow.</p>\n<p>So, what does this have to do with rising inflation/rising interest rates? The reassessment of growth stock valuation also affected the price of PENN stock. It likely won’t be the primary driver of a stock price rebound. But, if it becomes apparent that historically low interest rates are here to stay, investors may continue to assign this story stock a rich valuation, and could become willing once again to bid it back up to triple-digit price levels.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>It’s an understatement to say pandemic-related tailwinds for e-commerce changed the game for Shopify shares. The stock soared more than four-fold throughout the pandemic, as “stay at home” became “shop at home,” which boosted demand for this SaaS name’s e-commerce platform.</p>\n<p>But, concerns growth would slide post-pandemic, coupled with the specter of rising rates affecting valuations, helped to push down the stock from its highs (nearly $1,500 per share), down to around $1,250 per share as of this writing.</p>\n<p>Growth may be slowing down. However, even without the benefit of last year’s unique circumstances, the company still expects&nbsp;revenue to grow rapidly in 2021. Yet, even as it remains a growth story, this alone won’t save it from falling further. Trading for 284.7x forward earnings, any sort of valuation contraction caused by rising interest rates may result in another dramatic decline for shares.</p>\n<p>That being said, the fears that have impacted fast-growing tech names could continue to subside. This may bring many investors sitting on the sidelines back into SHOP stock. But, keep in mind, that, after its insane run-up last year, we may see neither a rebound or a sell-off. Instead, shares could hold steady, as markets let shares grow into their valuation.</p>\n<p><b>Skillz (SKLZ)</b></p>\n<p>It’s a stretch to blame all of the decline of SKLZ stock (more than 60% off its highs) on interest rate concerns. The mobile gaming platform,a favorite of Cathie Wood’s&nbsp;<b>ARK Invest</b>, has been hit hard by several factors.</p>\n<p>For one, the cycling out of growth stocks. Also,reports from vocal short-sellers&nbsp;casting doubt on its growth potential. To top it all off, the fast shift in sentiment for SPAC stocks such as this one. Fears of rising rates may not have been a primary driver of its share price decline. Yet, the dissipating of this concern could be something that helps the stock make an epic comeback.</p>\n<p>How so? If the overarching inflation/interest rate worries dissipate, it may encourage investors to dive back into not only large-cap growth names, but smaller growth names like this one. With a&nbsp;large percentage of its shares sold short, renewed interest in it could produce a squeeze.</p>\n<p>Granted, Skillz shares need more than just an overall cycling back into growth stocks. Company-specific factors will play a role as well. But, if the company, in upcoming quarterly results, further proves that the bears are wrongly doubting its growth, we could see fortunes quickly change for this mobile gaming play.</p>\n<p><b>Teladoc Health (TDOC)</b></p>\n<p>Rising interest rate fears aren’t the only reason why TDOC stock sold off massively (more than 50%) since February. As&nbsp;<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Joel Baglole wrote May 15, concerns its&nbsp;growth will slow down post-pandemic&nbsp;was a major factor in its continued declines.</p>\n<p>Demand for telemedicine may continue to be strong, even as we are no longer operating in last year’s environment. The company’s projected growth will likely stay well in the double-digit percentage range over the next few years. But, still trading at a premium forward price-to-sales ratio (around 9.1x, based on 2022 projections), we could see more contraction, in the event rates rise, and investors reassess valuations.</p>\n<p>So, with much pointing to further losses, why consider Teladoc today? Again, it’s not a given the Fed adopts a hawkish stance in the next year. If rates stay as they are, just like with the other names listed here, investors will feel more confident diving back into richly priced growth names.</p>\n<p>Also, shares could see a boost if investors betting against this moderately-shorted&nbsp; (12.9% of its float is sold short)&nbsp; stock cover their positions. A full rebound back to $300 per share may be out of reach. But, with its still solid long-term growth prospects, shares may have room to continue trending upward, as they’ve done in the weeks following last month’s sell-off.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Stocks That Could Bounce Back as Inflation Worries Subside</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\">\n7 Stocks That Could Bounce Back as Inflation Worries Subside\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-06 10:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-stocks-bounce-back-inflation-worries-subside/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If fears about inflation and interest rates are overblown, these stocks could rebound toward prior highs\nSource: Shutterstock\nGrowth stocks had a rocky time in May, when concerns about inflation ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-stocks-bounce-back-inflation-worries-subside/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PENN":"佩恩国民博彩","SKLZ":"Skillz Inc","BYND":"Beyond Meat, Inc.","SHOP":"Shopify Inc","DOCU":"Docusign","TDOC":"Teladoc Health Inc.","OPEN":"Opendoor Technologies Inc"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-stocks-bounce-back-inflation-worries-subside/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1198437149","content_text":"If fears about inflation and interest rates are overblown, these stocks could rebound toward prior highs\nSource: Shutterstock\nGrowth stocks had a rocky time in May, when concerns about inflation resulted in a temporary sell-off.

It may take the lifting of fears that interest rates are set to rise sharply, before the markets again feel fine with giving this still-richly priced stock (Beyond Meat trades for around 10x estimated 2022 sales) an even higher forward multiple.\nDocuSign (DOCU)\nDocuSign is just one of many fast-growing tech names that crushed it stock price-wise last year and going into this year. Between pandemic tailwinds (like the shift to remote work), and near-zero interest rates, investors bid up the e-signature solutions provider to a valuation that gives it a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in the triple digits.\nSince the start of the rotation out of growth stocks, DOCU stock dropped more than 30% off its highs. Yet, shares aren’t exactly cheap, as they still sport a triple-digit forward P/E ratio (154.3x). Rising interest rates could result in further contraction. Even as earnings are expected to grow at a 40%+ annualized clip over the next two years.\nRight now, the 2020 top performer is holding steady at around $200 per share. If interest rates rise, we could see another dramatic drop. But, if inflation and interest rate fears cool, and it becomes clear the Fed won’t sharply shift from dovish to hawkish fiscal policy, coupled with continued better-than-expected results, we could see shares make a move back toward their past high water mark (around $290 per share).\nSome may be concerned that its underlying performance, boosted by last year’s stay-at-home environment may start to wane as we return to the “old normal.” But, with a more remote office environment likely here to stay, growth remains on the menu for Docusign.\nOpendoor (OPEN)\nOpendoor was one of several Chamath Palihapitiya-backed SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) hit hard by the SPAC wipeout. Many factors caused the beating down of blank-check stocks over the past few months. But, the initial inflation fears experienced back in February certainly played a role.\nRising inflation may mean rising interest rates. And, rising interest rates impact stocks priced based on future rather than current results. And, that is what’s happened here with shares in this residential real estate i-buyer. Of course, the specter of rising rates could affect OPEN stock in more ways than just a contraction of its premium valuation.\nSupply outpacing demand is a factor in today’s manic housing market. But, rock bottom interest rates played a role as well. A hot market for residential homes helped Opendoor’s business, which is basically house-flipping on a massive scale. A sharp correction in this market, brought upon by a rapid rise in rates, could change this. And, not in a good way.\nYet, it’s not set in stone this is how things will play out in residential real estate. AsInvestorPlace’sAlex Sirois wrote May 27,shares may continue to trade sideways, as investors assess where housing is headed next. But, if interest rates end up not surging in the coming year, this market could see a soft landing, instead of a hard crash. That may not necessarily help boost OPEN stock (trading for around $16 per share). However, it could keep shares steady for investors buying it as a long-term “future of housing” play.\nPenn National Gaming (PENN)\nIts main business may still be brick-and-mortar casinos. But, what’s made Penn National a top performing stock since March 2020 has been its exposure to the i-gaming and online gambling megatrend.\nWith its investment in Barstool Sports, and the launch of a sportsbook utilizing this brand name, investors have bet big that this company, with the customer base from its legacy business, coupled with the fan base of David Portnoy’s Barstool franchise, will become a dominant force in this fast-growing industry.\nHowever, over the past few months, shares pulled back massively from as high as $142 per share, to around $80 per share. What’s behind this? Mainly, the cool down in retail investor mania over this stock. The market realizes it’s going to take time for Penn National’s i-gaming unit to turn into a cash cow.\nSo, what does this have to do with rising inflation/rising interest rates? The reassessment of growth stock valuation also affected the price of PENN stock. It likely won’t be the primary driver of a stock price rebound. But, if it becomes apparent that historically low interest rates are here to stay, investors may continue to assign this story stock a rich valuation, and could become willing once again to bid it back up to triple-digit price levels.\nShopify (SHOP)\nIt’s an understatement to say pandemic-related tailwinds for e-commerce changed the game for Shopify shares. The stock soared more than four-fold throughout the pandemic, as “stay at home” became “shop at home,” which boosted demand for this SaaS name’s e-commerce platform.\nBut, concerns growth would slide post-pandemic, coupled with the specter of rising rates affecting valuations, helped to push down the stock from its highs (nearly $1,500 per share), down to around $1,250 per share as of this writing.\nGrowth may be slowing down. However, even without the benefit of last year’s unique circumstances, the company still expects revenue to grow rapidly in 2021. Yet, even as it remains a growth story, this alone won’t save it from falling further. Trading for 284.7x forward earnings, any sort of valuation contraction caused by rising interest rates may result in another dramatic decline for shares.\nThat being said, the fears that have impacted fast-growing tech names could continue to subside. This may bring many investors sitting on the sidelines back into SHOP stock. But, keep in mind, that, after its insane run-up last year, we may see neither a rebound or a sell-off. Instead, shares could hold steady, as markets let shares grow into their valuation.\nSkillz (SKLZ)\nIt’s a stretch to blame all of the decline of SKLZ stock (more than 60% off its highs) on interest rate concerns. The mobile gaming platform,a favorite of Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest, has been hit hard by several factors.\nFor one, the cycling out of growth stocks. Also,reports from vocal short-sellers casting doubt on its growth potential. To top it all off, the fast shift in sentiment for SPAC stocks such as this one. Fears of rising rates may not have been a primary driver of its share price decline. Yet, the dissipating of this concern could be something that helps the stock make an epic comeback.\nHow so? If the overarching inflation/interest rate worries dissipate, it may encourage investors to dive back into not only large-cap growth names, but smaller growth names like this one. With a large percentage of its shares sold short, renewed interest in it could produce a squeeze.\nGranted, Skillz shares need more than just an overall cycling back into growth stocks. Company-specific factors will play a role as well. But, if the company, in upcoming quarterly results, further proves that the bears are wrongly doubting its growth, we could see fortunes quickly change for this mobile gaming play.\nTeladoc Health (TDOC)\nRising interest rate fears aren’t the only reason why TDOC stock sold off massively (more than 50%) since February. As InvestorPlace’s Joel Baglole wrote May 15, concerns its growth will slow down post-pandemic was a major factor in its continued declines.\nDemand for telemedicine may continue to be strong, even as we are no longer operating in last year’s environment. The company’s projected growth will likely stay well in the double-digit percentage range over the next few years. But, still trading at a premium forward price-to-sales ratio (around 9.1x, based on 2022 projections), we could see more contraction, in the event rates rise, and investors reassess valuations.\nSo, with much pointing to further losses, why consider Teladoc today? Again, it’s not a given the Fed adopts a hawkish stance in the next year. If rates stay as they are, just like with the other names listed here, investors will feel more confident diving back into richly priced growth names.\nAlso, shares could see a boost if investors betting against this moderately-shorted  (12.9% of its float is sold short)  stock cover their positions. A full rebound back to $300 per share may be out of reach. But, with its still solid long-term growth prospects, shares may have room to continue trending upward, as they’ve done in the weeks following last month’s sell-off.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":12,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3574921814752173","authorId":"3574921814752173","name":"loti","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8cca1ef20b63a0869e29787e48188b21","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574921814752173","authorIdStr":"3574921814752173"},"content":"done. pls comment on my post too. tks","text":"done. pls comment on my post too. tks","html":"done. pls comment on my post too. tks"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":115817078,"gmtCreate":1622970402894,"gmtModify":1704193951580,"author":{"id":"3583475767705151","authorId":"3583475767705151","name":"NonoAhah","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c8811a1f89559a718bd4b3e3a64bdf5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583475767705151","authorIdStr":"3583475767705151"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like comment&nbsp;","text":"Like comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/115817078","repostId":"2140540596","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140540596","pubTimestamp":1622820692,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2140540596?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-04 23:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Technology Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140540596","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It can be tough to get married to stocks -- especially tech -- but here are three to leave alone for the long haul.","content":"<p>Let's be honest.
