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":471,"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":301,"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.

Creators will be able to tag products in their videos, which will enable viewers to make purchases while they&#39;re watching content. To summarize, investors shouldn&#39;t expect YouTube&#39;s recent financial slowdown to last forever.</p><h2>Google Cloud shines amid slowing Google Search revenue</h2><p>Google remains Alphabet&#39;s flagship brand and Search is still its core driver of advertising revenue. But for that reason, it&#39;s suffering from similar issues to YouTube on account of the broader economic slowdown.</p><p>Search generated $39.5 billion in revenue during Q3, a modest increase of 4.2% year over year. Alphabet&#39;s CFO, Ruth Porat, remarked that the slow growth rate was partly attributable to an incredibly strong comparable (last year&#39;s result). That&#39;s true -- in Q3 2021, Search generated a whopping 44% growth and that would&#39;ve been very difficult to replicate amid the economic weakness at the moment.</p><p>But one area of Alphabet&#39;s business that outperformed was Google Cloud, with sales soaring by 37%. It marked an acceleration from its second-quarter growth rate of 35%, and while it only made up about one-tenth of Alphabet&#39;s total Q3 revenue, the cloud industry is on track to be a $1.5 trillion opportunity by 2030, so it&#39;s an important area of focus for the company.</p><p>As more businesses migrate their operations online, they will require more of the services provided by Google Cloud, including data storage and analysis, software development tools, cybersecurity, plus a range of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. Thus, Google Cloud will become increasingly critical to Alphabet&#39;s growth over time.</p><h2>Why Alphabet stock is a buy right now</h2><p>Alphabet stock fell by more than 9% the day after the company released its Q3 earnings report, and it has now lost 33% of its value in the last 12 months.</p><p>Alphabet has posted earnings per share of $5.03 over the last four quarters, placing its stock at a price-to-earnings ratio of just 18.7. That&#39;s a 19% discount to the Nasdaq-100 index, which trades at a ratio of 23. It implies Alphabet stock will have to rise by approximately 23% just to trade in line with its peers in the technology sector.</p><p>The caveat is that Alphabet&#39;s earnings have shrunk in every quarter of 2022 so far (year over year), so investors have crushed the stock&#39;s valuation based on the premise that the company will grow much more slowly going forward. But that&#39;s no certainty. Alphabet has a suite of incredible businesses -- Google consistently maintains a market share above 90% in the search industry, Google Cloud is growing rapidly, and YouTube has an incredible opportunity in its new Shorts format for both advertising and social shopping.</p><p>This year has been tough, but history shows that economic weakness doesn&#39;t last forever. When the economy bounces back, investors might be glad they bought Alphabet stock right here on the dip.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>1 Trillion-Dollar Growth Stock Down 33% to Buy Right Now</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\">\n1 Trillion-Dollar Growth Stock Down 33% to Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-01 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/31/1-trillion-dollar-growth-stock-down-33-to-buy-righ/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The Nasdaq-100 index is trading firmly in bear market territory with a year-to-date loss of 30%, so the financial results of the largest technology companies are extremely important to watch at the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/31/1-trillion-dollar-growth-stock-down-33-to-buy-righ/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GOOGL":"谷歌A","GOOG":"谷歌"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/31/1-trillion-dollar-growth-stock-down-33-to-buy-righ/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2279384648","content_text":"The Nasdaq-100 index is trading firmly in bear market territory with a year-to-date loss of 30%, so the financial results of the largest technology companies are extremely important to watch at the moment.Earnings season for the quarter ended Sept. 30 is now underway, and Google's trillion-dollar parent, Alphabet, released its results last week.

But for that reason, it's suffering from similar issues to YouTube on account of the broader economic slowdown.Search generated $39.5 billion in revenue during Q3, a modest increase of 4.2% year over year. Alphabet's CFO, Ruth Porat, remarked that the slow growth rate was partly attributable to an incredibly strong comparable (last year's result). That's true -- in Q3 2021, Search generated a whopping 44% growth and that would've been very difficult to replicate amid the economic weakness at the moment.But one area of Alphabet's business that outperformed was Google Cloud, with sales soaring by 37%. It marked an acceleration from its second-quarter growth rate of 35%, and while it only made up about one-tenth of Alphabet's total Q3 revenue, the cloud industry is on track to be a $1.5 trillion opportunity by 2030, so it's an important area of focus for the company.As more businesses migrate their operations online, they will require more of the services provided by Google Cloud, including data storage and analysis, software development tools, cybersecurity, plus a range of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. Thus, Google Cloud will become increasingly critical to Alphabet's growth over time.Why Alphabet stock is a buy right nowAlphabet stock fell by more than 9% the day after the company released its Q3 earnings report, and it has now lost 33% of its value in the last 12 months.Alphabet has posted earnings per share of $5.03 over the last four quarters, placing its stock at a price-to-earnings ratio of just 18.7. That's a 19% discount to the Nasdaq-100 index, which trades at a ratio of 23. It implies Alphabet stock will have to rise by approximately 23% just to trade in line with its peers in the technology sector.The caveat is that Alphabet's earnings have shrunk in every quarter of 2022 so far (year over year), so investors have crushed the stock's valuation based on the premise that the company will grow much more slowly going forward. But that's no certainty. Alphabet has a suite of incredible businesses -- Google consistently maintains a market share above 90% in the search industry, Google Cloud is growing rapidly, and YouTube has an incredible opportunity in its new Shorts format for both advertising and social shopping.This year has been tough, but history shows that economic weakness doesn't last forever. When the economy bounces back, investors might be glad they bought Alphabet stock right here on the dip.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":531,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9981703608,"gmtCreate":1666589963505,"gmtModify":1676537773414,"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":"Absolutely agreed that Alphabet stock to pay a dividend","listText":"Absolutely agreed that Alphabet stock to pay a dividend","text":"Absolutely agreed that Alphabet stock to pay a dividend","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9981703608","repostId":"2277405260","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2277405260","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1666569362,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2277405260?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-24 07:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"It's Time for Alphabet Stock to Pay a Dividend","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2277405260","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The Google parent is wasting an opportunity to reward investors.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Dividend stocks have become popular over the last year, and it&#39;s easy to see why.</p><p>In bear markets, investors turn to dividend stocks as a source of reliable income and because paying a dividend is generally a marker of reliable profits.</p><p><b>Alphabet </b>has never paid a dividend despite being one of the most profitable companies in the world and having $125 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on its balance sheet, but it&#39;s a good candidate to pay a dividend.</p><p>The company brought in $65 billion in free cash flow in the last four quarters but has struggled to find a way to invest that money to grow the business.

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":343,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9987259140,"gmtCreate":1667930315380,"gmtModify":1676537985868,"author":{"id":"3583623343213909","authorId":"3583623343213909","name":"Ivy
