Given that this stock is in an emerging market and not as large as other materials stocks at only about $14 billion, there's a bit more risk here than in other similar stocks.

It is also following a model that has proven itself over the past half century. On the other hand, <b>Rollins</b> (NYSE:ROL) is riding a wave of climate change that is making its service valuable in an ever larger portion of the globe. Both give me good reason to suspect I'll never sell a share.</p>\n<h2>1. Markel</h2>\n<p>Markel is a specialty insurer that has developed an expertise in pricing unconventional risks. By focusing on areas like Arabian horses, summer camps, and karate schools, it has carved out a niche for itself where competition isn't fierce and its experience allows it to accurately assess the fair price for an insurance policy.</p>\n<p>That expertise shows up in the combined ratio. It's the percent of premiums collected that insurers pay as claims. Similar to gross margin, it is the standard measure of policy profitability. Anything under 100% means the company made more money than it paid out. For the past 15 years, Markel has only had two years where its combined ratio exceeded 100%. For that decade and a half, it averaged 95%. For context, the industry average is 100% -- break even -- over the past five years.</p>\n<p>That profitability has allowed management to invest in equities and buy small businesses. It's why many think of the company as the baby <b>Berkshire</b> <b>Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B). Like Berkshire, Markel uses book value per share as a yardstick for the company's value. It has grown 10.6% annually over the past decade, from $334 to $914. To underscore its long-term approach, the company uses five year time frames to evaluate its performance. And it is honest when it doesn't measure up.</p>\n<p>Management pointed out in the most recent shareholder letter that the stock hasn't delivered over the past half-decade.

Rollins</h2>\n<p>Rollins can trace its roots back to a small pest control business in the late 19th century. These days, it has 2.8 million customers across 900 locations worldwide. The last few decades have proven that getting rid of unwanted pests and wildlife is not something people cut back on even when the economy struggles.

That's not likely to change.</p>\n<p>The company has a pristine financial profile, with immense cash generation and little debt.

Real migration can happen when the temperature climbs above 100 degrees Fahrenheit -- they take flight. If you are expecting dry conditions to stand in the way of their progress, think again. Unlike humans, they can hold their breath for 40 minutes at a time in arid conditions to prevent dehydration.</p>\n<p>Warmer winters and hotter summers also provide a great breeding environment for rats. With a gestation period of only 14 days, and an ability to start reproducing at only one month old, one pregnant rat can lead to more than 15,000 babies in a year. That's both impressive and disgusting. With global temperatures rising, rats brazenly meandering towns and cities like they did during the COVID lockdowns could become more prevalent.</p>\n<p>Another result of rising temperatures has been an increase in mosquito-borne illnesses.

Recent data suggests various species are spreading north at about 37 miles-per-year in the U.S. and 93 miles-per-year in Europe. Although there are multiple factors behind the migration, it all adds up to an expanded opportunity for Rollins. It's a change that will occur over the next 30 years. For me, it's a good reason to hold shares and never sell.</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>2 Stocks I'm Never Selling</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\">\n2 Stocks I'm Never Selling\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-22 11:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/21/2-stocks-im-never-selling/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>To say I will never sell a stock typically means one of two things: either management has laid out a strategy that obviously compounds its advantages over time or the company is benefiting from a ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/21/2-stocks-im-never-selling/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"ROL":"Rollins Inc","MKL":"Markel Corp"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/21/2-stocks-im-never-selling/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2153610498","content_text":"To say I will never sell a stock typically means one of two things: either management has laid out a strategy that obviously compounds its advantages over time or the company is benefiting from a trend that has no end in sight.\nFor Markel (NYSE:MKL), management evaluates itself in five year windows and is transparent about its methodical approach to deploying capital. It is also following a model that has proven itself over the past half century. On the other hand, Rollins (NYSE:ROL) is riding a wave of climate change that is making its service valuable in an ever larger portion of the globe. Both give me good reason to suspect I'll never sell a share.\n1. Markel\nMarkel is a specialty insurer that has developed an expertise in pricing unconventional risks. By focusing on areas like Arabian horses, summer camps, and karate schools, it has carved out a niche for itself where competition isn't fierce and its experience allows it to accurately assess the fair price for an insurance policy.\nThat expertise shows up in the combined ratio. It's the percent of premiums collected that insurers pay as claims. Similar to gross margin, it is the standard measure of policy profitability. Anything under 100% means the company made more money than it paid out. For the past 15 years, Markel has only had two years where its combined ratio exceeded 100%. For that decade and a half, it averaged 95%. For context, the industry average is 100% -- break even -- over the past five years.\nThat profitability has allowed management to invest in equities and buy small businesses. It's why many think of the company as the baby Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B). Like Berkshire, Markel uses book value per share as a yardstick for the company's value. It has grown 10.6% annually over the past decade, from $334 to $914. To underscore its long-term approach, the company uses five year time frames to evaluate its performance. And it is honest when it doesn't measure up.\nManagement pointed out in the most recent shareholder letter that the stock hasn't delivered over the past half-decade. At the time that letter was written, shares had underperformed the broader S&P 500 index by an eye-popping 6,680 basis points since 2015 (100 basis points is equal to one percent). So far in 2021, the stock has merely held steady versus the index. It's a far cry from what shareholders had experienced over previous periods.\n\n\n\nPeriod\nMarkel Shares\nS&P 500\nAnnual Outperformance\n\n\n2006 to 2010\n19.3%\n0.8%\nMarkel by 3.5%\n\n\n2011 to 2015\n133.6%\n62.5%\nMarkel by 11.3%\n\n\n2016 to 2020\n17%\n83.8%\nS&P 500 by 10.8%\n\n\n2021 YTD\n14.6%\n13.4%\nMarkel by 1.2%\n\n\n\nData Source: Y-Charts; YTD=Year-to-Date.\nOver the entire 15 year period, Markel shares are only slightly outperforming.

However, not all tech companies trade at expensive valuations. Some tech stocks like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LUMN\">Lumen Technologies</a> </b>(NYSE:LUMN), <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QCOM\">Qualcomm</a> </b>(NASDAQ:QCOM), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZA\">Verizon</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JCS\">Communications</a> </b>(NYSE:VZ) not only trade at low multiples, but also utilize cutting-edge technology to drive sales and, hopefully, investor gains.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eeec4df27528cce8c68597066e6a13ef\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Lumen</h3>\n<p>Admittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CUBI\">Customers</a> cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as <b>T-Mobile</b>, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.</p>\n<p>Its stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.</p>\n<p>Struggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>of 1.3%.</p>\n<p>The company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.</p>\n<p>Although revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.</p>\n<h3>2. Qualcomm</h3>\n<p>Qualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.</p>\n<p>This 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/294b93f672edf72d1a786cf983d18a94.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>LUMN data by YCharts</p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">Verizon</a></h3>\n<p>Value investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and <b>AT&amp;T </b>to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PW\">Power</a> for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPB\">Spectrum</a> amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HMC\">Honda</a></b>'s self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STT\">State</a> University as examples of activities this service supports.</p>\n<p>Verizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic.&nbsp;This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.</p>\n<p>Such a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.</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>Looking for Tech Stocks?

However, not all tech companies trade at expensive valuations. Some tech stocks like Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), and Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) not only trade at low multiples, but also utilize cutting-edge technology to drive sales and, hopefully, investor gains.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Lumen\nAdmittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. Customers cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as T-Mobile, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.\nIts stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.\nStruggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.\nFortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the S&P 500 of 1.3%.\nThe company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.\nAlthough revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.\n2. Qualcomm\nQualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.\nAdmittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.\nThis 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.\nQualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.\nAdditionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.\n\nLUMN data by YCharts\n3. Verizon\nValue investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and AT&T to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. Power for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. Spectrum amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.\nFurthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited Honda's self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona State University as examples of activities this service supports.\nVerizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic. This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.\nNonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it one of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.\nSuch a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":522,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":178988868,"gmtCreate":1626781442054,"gmtModify":1703765049345,"author":{"id":"3583647324484316","authorId":"3583647324484316","name":"golf_cs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2b2b4c394d788440b921d13e06f0fa7","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583647324484316","authorIdStr":"3583647324484316"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>❤️??","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>❤️??","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$❤️??","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbbf4be7a178f9dbd97cd7eb03eabf0d","width":"1242","height":"2151"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/178988868","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":495,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":178983554,"gmtCreate":1626781316378,"gmtModify":1703765046593,"author":{"id":"3583647324484316","authorId":"3583647324484316","name":"golf_cs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2b2b4c394d788440b921d13e06f0fa7","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583647324484316","authorIdStr":"3583647324484316"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"boom","listText":"boom","text":"boom","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/178983554","repostId":"2152715669","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":493,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":178989084,"gmtCreate":1626781205048,"gmtModify":1703765044332,"author":{"id":"3583647324484316","authorId":"3583647324484316","name":"golf_cs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2b2b4c394d788440b921d13e06f0fa7","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583647324484316","authorIdStr":"3583647324484316"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/178989084","repostId":"1152856122","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1152856122","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626767867,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1152856122?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-20 15:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GM Confirms It's Working On A Third Electric Pickup And It Will Be A Full-Size Truck","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1152856122","media":"Benzinga","summary":"General Motors Co is working on a GMC electric pickup truck to follow the GMC Hummer EV and the electric Chevrolet Silverado,  a company executive said at a media event on Monday, asreportedby CNBC.What Happened: The Hummer EV pickup wasunveiledin October last year with deliveries slated to begin this fall.

Lumen</h3>\n<p>Admittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CUBI\">Customers</a> cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as <b>T-Mobile</b>, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.</p>\n<p>Its stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.</p>\n<p>Struggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>of 1.3%.</p>\n<p>The company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.</p>\n<p>Although revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.</p>\n<h3>2. Qualcomm</h3>\n<p>Qualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.</p>\n<p>This 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/294b93f672edf72d1a786cf983d18a94.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>LUMN data by YCharts</p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">Verizon</a></h3>\n<p>Value investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and <b>AT&amp;T </b>to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PW\">Power</a> for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPB\">Spectrum</a> amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HMC\">Honda</a></b>'s self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STT\">State</a> University as examples of activities this service supports.</p>\n<p>Verizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic.&nbsp;This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.</p>\n<p>Such a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.</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>Looking for Tech Stocks?

This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the S&P 500 of 1.3%.\nThe company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.\nAlthough revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.\n2. Qualcomm\nQualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.\nAdmittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.\nThis 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.\nQualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.\nAdditionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.\n\nLUMN data by YCharts\n3. Verizon\nValue investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and AT&T to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. Power for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. Spectrum amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.\nFurthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited Honda's self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona State University as examples of activities this service supports.\nVerizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic. This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.\nNonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it one of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.\nSuch a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":522,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804579760,"gmtCreate":1627968224150,"gmtModify":1703498807204,"author":{"id":"3583647324484316","authorId":"3583647324484316","name":"golf_cs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2b2b4c394d788440b921d13e06f0fa7","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583647324484316","authorIdStr":"3583647324484316"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/YYY.SI\">$Lion-OSPL China L S$(YYY.SI)$</a>??","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/YYY.SI\">$Lion-OSPL China L S$(YYY.SI)$</a>??","text":"$Lion-OSPL China L S$(YYY.SI)$??","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b059926f1862533432f99d3295b2b448","width":"1242","height":"2151"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/804579760","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":802113613,"gmtCreate":1627731320432,"gmtModify":1703495310575,"author":{"id":"3583647324484316","authorId":"3583647324484316","name":"golf_cs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2b2b4c394d788440b921d13e06f0fa7","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583647324484316","authorIdStr":"3583647324484316"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks","listText":"Thanks","text":"Thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/802113613","repostId":"1173075225","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172922666,"gmtCreate":1626928936655,"gmtModify":1703480789396,"author":{"id":"3583647324484316","authorId":"3583647324484316","name":"golf_cs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2b2b4c394d788440b921d13e06f0fa7","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583647324484316","authorIdStr":"3583647324484316"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"lecture&nbsp;","listText":"lecture&nbsp;","text":"lecture","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172922666","repostId":"2153610498","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153610498","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1626923460,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153610498?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-22 11:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Stocks I'm Never Selling","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153610498","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's the only way to take advantage of what makes each of these businesses special.","content":"<p>To say I will never sell a stock typically means <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of two things: either management has laid out a strategy that obviously compounds its advantages over time or the company is benefiting from a trend that has no end in sight.</p>\n<p>For <b>Markel</b> (NYSE:MKL), management evaluates itself in five year windows and is transparent about its methodical approach to deploying capital.
