Mac revenue on the other hand surged higher, growing 25% over the prior year.</p><p>Apple did not provide any additional guidance for their Q1 2023 quarter, which tends to be the strongest quarter of the year, as it falls within the holidays.</p><p>Some of the revenue earned during the quarter was attributed to Q3 sales that were not fulfilled due to supply chain issues at the time, but most of those issues have been resolved.</p><h2>Headwinds Are Evident</h2><p>When assessing a stock, it is always important to look from the outside in. I like to first focus on the macro environment and see how it can affect a specific company before looking more at company specific metrics.</p><p>From a macro environment standpoint, the headwinds are evident. It is not secret that Apple generates the majority of their revenue outside of the US and that means they continue to fight the currency headwind. <b>Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that revenue would have grown &#34;double-digits&#34; if not for the strong US dollar.</b></p><p>Mr. Cook went on to explain that the &#34;foreign currency headwinds were over 600 basis points during the most recent quarter&#34;, which is quite significant.</p><p>Although the most recent quarter did not run into that many supply chain issues, as explained by the management team, one area that was supply constrained was the iPhone 14 Pro. Based on orders and wait times, the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro has been selling quite well. The iPhone 14 (regular) on the other hand not so much, and this is where a lot of rumblings have been coming out about suppliers pausing work based on Apple&#39;s direction.</p><p>Apple glass supplier Corning (GLW) noted in their most recent quarterly report that smartphone and tablet sales slowed, which could book a look-through to the next quarter for Apple.</p><p>The next headwind is one that might hurt the worst, a weakening consumer. Recent financial data came out showing signs that the US consumer could be breaking down. The total US credit card balance hit $916 billion in September, as consumers turn to credit to help deal with high inflation. In addition, the boom in the personal savings rate that we heard about during the pandemic, is all but gone. In fact, the US personal savings hit $555.7 billion, which was the lowest levels seen since 2009.</p><p>A weakening consumer means that larger purchases, like iPhones, iPads, Macs, and all that will be second guessed.</p><p>And finally, the Services segment of Apple that many have been high on for years now, is beginning to slow. In Q4, the Services segment grew only 5%. In fact, total revenue by quarter has fallen for two consecutive quarters now for the first time ever.</p><p>To combat this, Apple did recently announce price hikes to many of their service offerings, such as: Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple One.</p><h2>Investor Takeaway</h2><p>Apple has held the tech sector together for the most part in what was a brutal earnings season for the sector, but I do not foresee that being the case much longer. Apple themselves did not give any guidance, but they did give &#34;direction&#34; and that was mostly focused on a slow holiday season it was is typically their best quarter.</p><p>Given all of this and the headwinds I discussed, I believe it is important for analysts and investors to reset expectations with the stock.</p><p>Apple trades at a price to earnings multiple of 24x and I believe this is just much too high given expectations for the next year. Analysts right now are expecting EPS of $6.28 and revenues of $407.5 billion, which would equate to growth of 2.8% and 3.3%, respectively. Paying 24x for a company growing at those fractions is much too high, which is why I believe the stock needs to come down.</p><p>I love AAPL and believe it can be an essential part of your portfolio, but adding shares at these levels is not in the cards for me at the moment.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Time To Reset Expectations</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Time To Reset Expectations\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-04 23:47 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552702-apple-time-to-reset-expectations><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple has been a driving force behind the market, but expectations need to be reset.A weakening consumer will be a headwind for Apple in the near term.Apple released its Q4 earnings last week ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552702-apple-time-to-reset-expectations\">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/4552702-apple-time-to-reset-expectations","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2280527752","content_text":"SummaryApple has been a driving force behind the market, but expectations need to be reset.A weakening consumer will be a headwind for Apple in the near term.Apple released its Q4 earnings last week that were actually pretty solid when compared to the other tech giants that struggled mightily last week.Apple has been the glue that has held the big tech sector together over the course of the past week.

Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that revenue would have grown \"double-digits\" if not for the strong US dollar.Mr. Cook went on to explain that the \"foreign currency headwinds were over 600 basis points during the most recent quarter\", which is quite significant.Although the most recent quarter did not run into that many supply chain issues, as explained by the management team, one area that was supply constrained was the iPhone 14 Pro. Based on orders and wait times, the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro has been selling quite well. The iPhone 14 (regular) on the other hand not so much, and this is where a lot of rumblings have been coming out about suppliers pausing work based on Apple's direction.Apple glass supplier Corning (GLW) noted in their most recent quarterly report that smartphone and tablet sales slowed, which could book a look-through to the next quarter for Apple.The next headwind is one that might hurt the worst, a weakening consumer. Recent financial data came out showing signs that the US consumer could be breaking down. The total US credit card balance hit $916 billion in September, as consumers turn to credit to help deal with high inflation. In addition, the boom in the personal savings rate that we heard about during the pandemic, is all but gone. In fact, the US personal savings hit $555.7 billion, which was the lowest levels seen since 2009.A weakening consumer means that larger purchases, like iPhones, iPads, Macs, and all that will be second guessed.And finally, the Services segment of Apple that many have been high on for years now, is beginning to slow. In Q4, the Services segment grew only 5%. In fact, total revenue by quarter has fallen for two consecutive quarters now for the first time ever.To combat this, Apple did recently announce price hikes to many of their service offerings, such as: Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple One.Investor TakeawayApple has held the tech sector together for the most part in what was a brutal earnings season for the sector, but I do not foresee that being the case much longer. Apple themselves did not give any guidance, but they did give \"direction\" and that was mostly focused on a slow holiday season it was is typically their best quarter.Given all of this and the headwinds I discussed, I believe it is important for analysts and investors to reset expectations with the stock.Apple trades at a price to earnings multiple of 24x and I believe this is just much too high given expectations for the next year. Analysts right now are expecting EPS of $6.28 and revenues of $407.5 billion, which would equate to growth of 2.8% and 3.3%, respectively. Paying 24x for a company growing at those fractions is much too high, which is why I believe the stock needs to come down.I love AAPL and believe it can be an essential part of your portfolio, but adding shares at these levels is not in the cards for me at the moment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":441,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9984230724,"gmtCreate":1667638342368,"gmtModify":1676537947667,"author":{"id":"3583623343213909","authorId":"3583623343213909","name":"Ivy Chow","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9c670cce7e9b5a3d69c003dec76214f9","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583623343213909","authorIdStr":"3583623343213909"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for sharing.&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks for sharing.&nbsp;","text":"Thanks for sharing.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9984230724","repostId":"2281680644","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":272,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9984133017,"gmtCreate":1667558784640,"gmtModify":1676537937526,"author":{"id":"3583623343213909","authorId":"3583623343213909","name":"Ivy Chow","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9c670cce7e9b5a3d69c003dec76214f9","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583623343213909","authorIdStr":"3583623343213909"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I just purchased some Alphabet stock.

With investors expecting too much from Big Tech, however, they could miss this generational opportunity with an Internet and cloud giant.Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) is a tech titan, but it’s in the doghouse right now. I am bullish on Alphabet stock, however, and so should any dyed-in-the-wool value hunter. Unfortunately, today’s investors are so anxiety-driven – and frankly, spoiled by years of robust corporate growth – that they refuse to see the terrific value that’s right in front of them.Perhaps I shouldn’t say, “unfortunately,” though, as there’s a huge opportunity here. Alphabet is still an American search engine, tech gadget, and cloud computing pioneer. Nothing has fundamentally changed about the company, but a recent rout in so-called growth stocks has put short-term traders on edge.They can stay on that edge if they’d like to, but chances are, the fearful skeptics will only end up buying Alphabet stock at higher prices. Instead of waiting for “confirmation” or an all-clear signal that everything’s going to be all right, I encourage you to check the data and decide for yourself whether Alphabet stock deserves an autopsy or a re-rating to the upside.Investors Should be More Realistic in Their ExpectationsThere’s no denying it: Alphabet stock tanked after the company released its third-quarter 2022 earnings results. However, this also happened to shares of Amazon, Meta Platforms, and to a lesser extent, Microsoft. It was a rough earnings season for Big Tech, and this suggests that perhaps investors have raised their expectations to unrealistic heights.Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik seems to raise this possibility, suggesting that Big Tech’s “disastrous” results may be a result of “investor expectations, demanding perfection across complicated conglomerates.” Bernstein cited other problematic factors, but Shmulik did observe a “betting parlay-like effect going on” with large-cap tech names, “where if even one metric misses, the stock sells off.”As an individual investor, you can’t control the market’s overly-ambitious earnings expectations for companies like Alphabet and its Google business. However, you can control your own expectations and, just as importantly, let the data drive your decisions rather than your emotions.Post-Earnings, GOOGL Stock is CompellingFive years ago, did you imagine that Alphabet would carry a trailing 12-month P/E ratio of around 16.4x? Probably not, and many traders would have jumped at the chance to buy GOOGL stock at such a valuation. Yet, here we are, and people are afraid to accept this gift from Wall Street.Again, the culprit is overblown expectations. During 2022’s third quarter, Alphabet’s revenue grew “only” 6% year-over-year. In the year-earlier quarter, the company’s revenue increased a whopping 41% year-over-year.Financial traders shouldn’t have assumed that Alphabet’s revenue growth would maintain its pace from last year. No company in the real world can just keep growing like that. Meanwhile, Alphabet earned $1.06 per diluted share in Q3 2022, which is perfectly respectable even if it’s not as euphoria-inducing as the year-earlier quarter’s $1.40 per share.Furthermore, Alphabet demonstrated year-over-year revenue increases from Google advertising and from total Google Services. The skeptics should also observe that Alphabet’s Google Cloud revenue improved significantly on a year-over-year basis.Besides, Alphabet achieved all of this during a time when the economy is weak and inflation is high. Advertisers aren’t likely to spend as much as usual amid this challenging financial backdrop. Hence, Alphabet deserves credit for exhibiting growth in key areas, even if many investors will only focus on the negative and dismiss the positive.Analysts All Like GOOGL Stock NowTurning to Wall Street, GOOGL is a Strong Buy, based on 29 unanimous Buy ratings. Now, there’s something you probably don’t see every day: financial experts all agree on something! By the way, the average Alphabet price target is $129.90, implying 55.7% upside potential.Conclusion: Should You Consider Alphabet Stock?Clearly, Wall Street’s experts are bullish on Alphabet stock even while some investors are panic-selling their shares. For instance, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) analyst Eric Sheridan assigned a Buy rating to Alphabet stock, and he reportedly sees $135 as the stock’s fair value. Even if the amateur commentators on social media won’t acknowledge it, Alphabet showed growth in multiple categories of revenue, including Google advertising and Google Cloud. It’s possible that some traders imagined that Alphabet would continue to grow this year as it did in 2021.You don’t have to worry about other people’s too-high expectations, though. Instead, you’re invited to take advantage of the rare value-investing opportunity in GOOGL stock and consider a long position today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":494,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3586459019020703","authorId":"3586459019020703","name":"Twhyger","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/924944c1d1cd489c6dea99de491ff2b1","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3586459019020703","authorIdStr":"3586459019020703"},"content":"Always is, but somehow I never buy.","text":"Always is, but somehow I never buy.","html":"Always is, but somehow I never buy."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9985957335,"gmtCreate":1667302458527,"gmtModify":1676537894277,"author":{"id":"3583623343213909","authorId":"3583623343213909","name":"Ivy Chow","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9c670cce7e9b5a3d69c003dec76214f9","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583623343213909","authorIdStr":"3583623343213909"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is good to buy now.

It currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 18.5, on par with the S&P 500, and it's even cheaper when you back out its $125 billion in cash.Alphabet could easily afford a modest yield of 1% or more and have plenty of cash left over for buybacks and investments in other bets.Though Alphabet may be one of the best-known names in tech, this is also a blue-chip stock now. It's time for it to start acting like one.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9984239166,"gmtCreate":1667638592155,"gmtModify":1676537947741,"author":{"id":"3583623343213909","authorId":"3583623343213909","name":"Ivy Chow","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9c670cce7e9b5a3d69c003dec76214f9","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583623343213909","authorIdStr":"3583623343213909"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple is a good buy growth stock.

With its dominating market share in industries such as e-commerce and cloud computing, Amazon is well-positioned to regain its losses down the road.</p><p>With Amazon&#39;s significant loss in stock price, investors might be eyeing the shares and wondering if they&#39;re a buy. Let&#39;s see.</p><h2>Waiting for the economic storm clouds to clear</h2><p>To put it mildly, Amazon&#39;s latest quarterly report left a lot to be desired. Revenue for its third quarter of 2022 came in at $127.1 billion against analyst expectations of $127.46 billion. Meanwhile, Amazon Web Services brought in $20.5 billion versus the expected $21.1 billion.</p><p>The company&#39;s fourth-quarter forecasts have also fallen short. Amazon is expecting revenue of $140 billion to $148 billion, amounting to a year-over-year rise of 2% to 8%. Analysts at Refinitiv had previously projected that the company will earn $155.15 billion for the quarter.</p><p>In the wake of poor Q3 results, Amazon&#39;s stock sank some 26% between Oct. 25 and Nov. 3 as investors grew concerned over the company&#39;s consumer-reliant segments. As is to be expected, Amazon&#39;s retail business has been hit especially hard in 2022 as rising costs have slowed consumer spending.</p><p>So far, CEO Andy Jassy has responded by cutting costs in multiple divisions, such as reducing its warehouse footprint, axing some experimental tech projects, shutting down its telehealth service, Amazon Care, and pausing hiring in its executive positions.</p><p>Amazon is likely to continue suffering declines in the short term as geopolitical and macroeconomic factors keep operating costs high but consumer spending low. However, the future is still bright for the e-commerce titan. Fuel, shipping, and electricity costs should eventually regulate to more palatable figures, and Amazon continues to prioritize efficiency in its business.</p><p>As of June, Amazon was responsible for a 37.8% market share of the e-commerce industry. Regardless of temporary market declines in the next year, Amazon is well-positioned to see significant gains once it bounces back.</p><h2>A cloud computing titan</h2><p>While Amazon might be best-known for its e-commerce business, its cloud computing venture, Amazon Web Services (AWS), has quickly become its most crucial segment. Launched in 2006, AWS is responsible for hosting applications and websites for millions of organizations worldwide, with some of its biggest clients including <b>Netflix</b> and <b>Microsoft</b>&#39;s LinkedIn. The cloud computing service has swiftly risen in dominance, holding a 34% share of the $203.5 billion market in the second quarter.</p><p>AWS reported $20.5 billion in revenue in its latest quarter, 16% of Amazon&#39;s total Q3 2022 revenue. Additionally, AWS was responsible for 100% of Amazon’s operating income in Q3, underling how crucial the cloud computing business has become.</p><p>AWS lost some steam in the company&#39;s latest quarter, with its year-over-year rise of 27.4% lower than Q2 2022&#39;s increase of 33% and Q3 2021&#39;s 39%.

Amazon has been one of the hardest hit, with its share price down over 46% since January.However, the company continues to be home to a robust business that is unlikely to be down forever. With its dominating market share in industries such as e-commerce and cloud computing, Amazon is well-positioned to regain its losses down the road.With Amazon's significant loss in stock price, investors might be eyeing the shares and wondering if they're a buy. Let's see.Waiting for the economic storm clouds to clearTo put it mildly, Amazon's latest quarterly report left a lot to be desired. Revenue for its third quarter of 2022 came in at $127.1 billion against analyst expectations of $127.46 billion. Meanwhile, Amazon Web Services brought in $20.5 billion versus the expected $21.1 billion.The company's fourth-quarter forecasts have also fallen short. Amazon is expecting revenue of $140 billion to $148 billion, amounting to a year-over-year rise of 2% to 8%. Analysts at Refinitiv had previously projected that the company will earn $155.15 billion for the quarter.In the wake of poor Q3 results, Amazon's stock sank some 26% between Oct. 25 and Nov. 3 as investors grew concerned over the company's consumer-reliant segments. As is to be expected, Amazon's retail business has been hit especially hard in 2022 as rising costs have slowed consumer spending.So far, CEO Andy Jassy has responded by cutting costs in multiple divisions, such as reducing its warehouse footprint, axing some experimental tech projects, shutting down its telehealth service, Amazon Care, and pausing hiring in its executive positions.Amazon is likely to continue suffering declines in the short term as geopolitical and macroeconomic factors keep operating costs high but consumer spending low. However, the future is still bright for the e-commerce titan. Fuel, shipping, and electricity costs should eventually regulate to more palatable figures, and Amazon continues to prioritize efficiency in its business.As of June, Amazon was responsible for a 37.8% market share of the e-commerce industry. Regardless of temporary market declines in the next year, Amazon is well-positioned to see significant gains once it bounces back.A cloud computing titanWhile Amazon might be best-known for its e-commerce business, its cloud computing venture, Amazon Web Services (AWS), has quickly become its most crucial segment. Launched in 2006, AWS is responsible for hosting applications and websites for millions of organizations worldwide, with some of its biggest clients including Netflix and Microsoft's LinkedIn. The cloud computing service has swiftly risen in dominance, holding a 34% share of the $203.5 billion market in the second quarter.AWS reported $20.5 billion in revenue in its latest quarter, 16% of Amazon's total Q3 2022 revenue. Additionally, AWS was responsible for 100% of Amazon’s operating income in Q3, underling how crucial the cloud computing business has become.AWS lost some steam in the company's latest quarter, with its year-over-year rise of 27.4% lower than Q2 2022's increase of 33% and Q3 2021's 39%. Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky attributed the slowed growth primarily to consumers and businesses reining in spending.Still, AWS remains a promising business long-term. In Amazon's Q3 report, the company revealed AWS had $104.3 billion in unearned revenue as of Sept. 30. The future earnings come from long-term contracts that will complete in about 3.8 years.Proceed with cautionAmazon has a dominating market share in multiple growing industries, which will likely boost its business in the long term. However, with its operating cash flow falling 27% in its latest quarter and its most profitable business declining in growth throughout 2022, the company will need time to bounce back.Additionally, with a price-to-earnings ratio that is about 21% higher than a year ago -- despite the steep drop in the stock price -- Amazon's shares are not the cheapest around despite a sell-off.As one of the leading tech and e-commerce companies in the world, Amazon is likely to come back strong over the long term, but it might be best to first watch its AWS business and wait until it begins seeing improving quarterly growth again before committing to Amazon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":273,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9984230724,"gmtCreate":1667638342368,"gmtModify":1676537947667,"author":{"id":"3583623343213909","authorId":"3583623343213909","name":"Ivy Chow","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9c670cce7e9b5a3d69c003dec76214f9","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583623343213909","authorIdStr":"3583623343213909"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for sharing.&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks for sharing.&nbsp;","text":"Thanks for sharing.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9984230724","repostId":"2281680644","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2281680644","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1667603225,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2281680644?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-05 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall St Rallies to Close Out Soft Week After Jobs Report","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2281680644","media":"Reuters","summary":"Data shows strong jobs growth, uptick in jobless rateStarbucks, DoorDash jump on upbeat resultsU.S-listed China firms rise on reopening hopesDow up 1.26%, S&P 500 up 1.36%, Nasdaq up 1.28%U.S. stocks ","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Data shows strong jobs growth, uptick in jobless rate</li><li>Starbucks, DoorDash jump on upbeat results</li><li>U.S-listed China firms rise on reopening hopes</li><li>Dow up 1.26%, S&amp;P 500 up 1.36%, Nasdaq up 1.28%</li></ul><p>U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday in volatile trade to snap a four-session losing streak as investors wrestled with a mixed jobs report and comments from Federal Reserve officials on the pace of interest rate hikes.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq each rose as much as 2% in the early stages of trading while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed as much as 1.9% on the heels of the closely watched labor market report, before paring gains and briefly falling into negative territory.
