Ruiz is on no one’s list of Wall Street big shots.\nOver the years the Miami l","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- John H. Ruiz is on no one’s list of Wall Street big shots.</p>\n<p>Over the years the Miami lawyer has hosted a Spanish language cable-TV show, owned a high school sport website and worked on class-action lawsuits. At one point, his luxury cigarette boat was repossessed, according to a published report — an episode Ruiz has called a misunderstanding.</p>\n<p>Yet today Ruiz is on the cusp of a $23 billion fortune as his MSP Recovery enters into a merger with Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, a $230 million special purpose acquisition company founded by a former member of an Israel Defense Forces elite combat unit who spent most of his career in real estate.</p>\n<p>If the deal is completed, it will go down as one of the most unusual SPAC transactions yet. Aside from the disparate backgrounds of its principals, the company forecasts zero revenue this year, there are none of the traditional co-investors participating and three of Lionheart’s directors have resigned in recent months. And at a $32.6 billion valuation, it’s the second-biggest proposed SPAC transaction after Grab Holdings’ $40 billion merger scheduled for later this year.</p>\n<p><b>SPAC Fortunes</b></p>\n<p>SPACs have become synonymous with enormous fortunes seemingly created overnight, such as the $11.3 billion stake Mat Ishbia realized when his mortgage company was taken public. But other fortunes have faded just as fast. Nikola Corp.’s Trevor Milton saw his net worth peak at almost $10 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, before allegations of fraud tanked the stock and forced him out of leadership at the company.</p>\n<p>The frenzied dealmaking has also drawn the attention of regulators, who have zeroed in on the sometimes dubious business practices and questionable disclosures of merging firms, as well as the misalignment of interests between the people selling SPACs and those buying them. The Securities and Exchange Commission took the rare step this week of sanctioning a SPAC and its merger target — a space-cargo firm — for misleading investors.</p>\n<p>The choice of MSP Recovery, a health-care payments recovery firm, comes despite Lionheart saying in its prospectus and website that it was looking for an acquisition in the real estate sector, which is where founder Ophir Sternberg spent most of his career.</p>\n<p>After emigrating from Israel in 1993 and a stint in New York, Sternberg bought and sold real estate in South Florida for most of the past decade. But he spotted an opportunity in the red-hot world of SPACs, and in December led the combination of restaurant chain BurgerFi International Inc. with Opes Acquisition Corp.</p>\n<p>BurgerFi shares closed Tuesday at $10.66, just above the $10 offering price of the SPAC that it merged with. For the year, they’re down 22%.</p>\n<p>BurgerFi’s $100 million deal is set to be dwarfed by Lionheart’s combination with MSP. Sternberg took Lionheart Acquistion Corporation II public last August.</p>\n<p><b>‘Deal Done’</b></p>\n<p>“Most SPACs ask for a 24 months before they throw in the towel and have to redeem,” Sternberg told Bloomberg News at the time. “I told my investors at the IPO level that I was very confident that we could get a deal done within a shorter time frame, so I took the lifespan down to 18 months.”</p>\n<p>That put added pressure on Lionheart to find a deal quickly, even as it competed against a greater number of SPACs chasing a limited number of potential targets. If no agreement is reached before 18 months, Sternberg and his team earn nothing from the SPAC.</p>\n<p>Leading up to the MSP transaction, three directors on Lionheart’s five-person board resigned. One of them, Trevor Barran, who was also the firm’s chief operating officer, left last week, just days before the deal was announced on Monday. A fourth died in June.</p>\n<p>“Lionheart brought in new board of director members to eliminate any potential or perceived conflicts of interest, better align the board’s collective expertise with MSP’s business, and to have a total of four independent directors, one more than required,” a spokesperson for Lionheart said in a statement.</p>\n<p>MSP Recovery describes itself as a pioneer in obtaining reimbursements for Medicare and other health-care claims that should have been covered by other parties. The Coral Gables, Florida-based firm looks through records and identifies potentially erroneous payments using complex data analysis techniques. MSP said it owns nearly $50 billion in billed claims from its clients.</p>\n<p><b>‘Humongous Flaw’</b></p>\n<p>“The scalability of this business is beyond any business that exists,” said Ruiz, MSP’s founder and chief executive officer. “There’s a humongous flaw in the data capturing of medical claims and the insurance processing of those claims. This is a disruptive process that we’ve created and we’re changing the way that it’s done.”</p>\n<p>If MSP is able to collect a payment, it typically shares half the money with the claim assignor, such as an insurance company that paid a wrong amount, and then pays lawyers 40% of the balance. MSP keeps what’s left.</p>\n<p>A law firm owned by Ruiz and MSP’s chief legal officer will the exclusive lead counsel for MSP, meaning it stands to receive 20% of all recovered payments, according to a filing.</p>\n<p>MSP calls the total amount recovered (before paying out the assignor and lawyers) gross revenue, and expects to take in about $3.1 billion in 2023. In an investor presentation, the company argued that its 10.5-times multiple against that revenue was in-line with prominent private equity firms it identified as peers, including Blackstone Group Inc., Brookfield Asset Management, Ares Management Corp. and KKR &amp; Co.</p>\n<p>It forecasts net revenue for that year of $963 million, and net income of $632 million. By 2026, it expects gross revenues of $23.8 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation Questions</b></p>\n<p>Lionheart is putting as much as $160 million into MSP, depending on shareholder redemptions, in exchange for about 0.7% of the merged company. Unlike most SPAC deals, there’s no private investment in public equity, or PIPE, being injected alongside the SPAC.</p>\n<p>That may be partly due to questions over valuation. Hedge fund Marshall Wace, an existing Lionheart investor, discussed participating in a PIPE at a valuation closer to $10 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.</p>\n<p>“A wide range of valuations, which didn’t include the entire scope of what’s included in the company now, were discussed at a very preliminary stage nearly six months ago,” Ruiz said.</p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Marshall Wace declined to comment.</p>\n<p>Shareholders who don’t redeem prior to the business combination are being offered at least 35 additional warrants allowing them to purchase shares at an $11.50 strike price. When those warrants are exercised, MSP’s founders — principally Ruiz — will sell their shares back to MSP at the strike price, meaning that on a net basis no new stock is issued. More than a billion such warrants will be dispersed.</p>\n<p><b>Transaction Costs</b></p>\n<p>Ruiz has agreed to sell a large portion of his shares at 15% above their $10 value implied by the transaction, limiting his upside. Ruiz says it was part of the cost of getting the deal done.</p>\n<p>Lionheart’s sponsor, controlled by Sternberg, will get about $60 million of shares, according to an investor presentation. Transaction costs, including banker fees, will eat up $70 million or about 30% of the cash Lionheart raised from investors last year. The remaining cash will be used to fund operations and growth. MSP anticipates $37 million in expenses this year on no revenue.</p>\n<p>“In the big scheme of things, it’s really de minimis,” Ruiz said, referring to the fees. “If I had to put a number on it, there’s more than 200, 300 people working on this deal.”</p>\n<p>Of all the players, Ruiz stands to gain the most. His 70% stake in the firm is worth close to $23 billion at the combination price.

Ruiz is on no one’s list of Wall Street big shots.\nOver the years the Miami lawyer has hosted a Spanish language cable-TV show, owned a high school sport website and worked on class-action lawsuits. At one point, his luxury cigarette boat was repossessed, according to a published report — an episode Ruiz has called a misunderstanding.\nYet today Ruiz is on the cusp of a $23 billion fortune as his MSP Recovery enters into a merger with Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, a $230 million special purpose acquisition company founded by a former member of an Israel Defense Forces elite combat unit who spent most of his career in real estate.\nIf the deal is completed, it will go down as one of the most unusual SPAC transactions yet. Aside from the disparate backgrounds of its principals, the company forecasts zero revenue this year, there are none of the traditional co-investors participating and three of Lionheart’s directors have resigned in recent months. And at a $32.6 billion valuation, it’s the second-biggest proposed SPAC transaction after Grab Holdings’ $40 billion merger scheduled for later this year.\nSPAC Fortunes\nSPACs have become synonymous with enormous fortunes seemingly created overnight, such as the $11.3 billion stake Mat Ishbia realized when his mortgage company was taken public. But other fortunes have faded just as fast. Nikola Corp.’s Trevor Milton saw his net worth peak at almost $10 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, before allegations of fraud tanked the stock and forced him out of leadership at the company.\nThe frenzied dealmaking has also drawn the attention of regulators, who have zeroed in on the sometimes dubious business practices and questionable disclosures of merging firms, as well as the misalignment of interests between the people selling SPACs and those buying them. The Securities and Exchange Commission took the rare step this week of sanctioning a SPAC and its merger target — a space-cargo firm — for misleading investors.\nThe choice of MSP Recovery, a health-care payments recovery firm, comes despite Lionheart saying in its prospectus and website that it was looking for an acquisition in the real estate sector, which is where founder Ophir Sternberg spent most of his career.\nAfter emigrating from Israel in 1993 and a stint in New York, Sternberg bought and sold real estate in South Florida for most of the past decade. But he spotted an opportunity in the red-hot world of SPACs, and in December led the combination of restaurant chain BurgerFi International Inc. with Opes Acquisition Corp.\nBurgerFi shares closed Tuesday at $10.66, just above the $10 offering price of the SPAC that it merged with. For the year, they’re down 22%.\nBurgerFi’s $100 million deal is set to be dwarfed by Lionheart’s combination with MSP. Sternberg took Lionheart Acquistion Corporation II public last August.\n‘Deal Done’\n“Most SPACs ask for a 24 months before they throw in the towel and have to redeem,” Sternberg told Bloomberg News at the time. “I told my investors at the IPO level that I was very confident that we could get a deal done within a shorter time frame, so I took the lifespan down to 18 months.”\nThat put added pressure on Lionheart to find a deal quickly, even as it competed against a greater number of SPACs chasing a limited number of potential targets. If no agreement is reached before 18 months, Sternberg and his team earn nothing from the SPAC.\nLeading up to the MSP transaction, three directors on Lionheart’s five-person board resigned. One of them, Trevor Barran, who was also the firm’s chief operating officer, left last week, just days before the deal was announced on Monday. A fourth died in June.\n“Lionheart brought in new board of director members to eliminate any potential or perceived conflicts of interest, better align the board’s collective expertise with MSP’s business, and to have a total of four independent directors, one more than required,” a spokesperson for Lionheart said in a statement.\nMSP Recovery describes itself as a pioneer in obtaining reimbursements for Medicare and other health-care claims that should have been covered by other parties. The Coral Gables, Florida-based firm looks through records and identifies potentially erroneous payments using complex data analysis techniques. MSP said it owns nearly $50 billion in billed claims from its clients.\n‘Humongous Flaw’\n“The scalability of this business is beyond any business that exists,” said Ruiz, MSP’s founder and chief executive officer. “There’s a humongous flaw in the data capturing of medical claims and the insurance processing of those claims. This is a disruptive process that we’ve created and we’re changing the way that it’s done.”\nIf MSP is able to collect a payment, it typically shares half the money with the claim assignor, such as an insurance company that paid a wrong amount, and then pays lawyers 40% of the balance. MSP keeps what’s left.\nA law firm owned by Ruiz and MSP’s chief legal officer will the exclusive lead counsel for MSP, meaning it stands to receive 20% of all recovered payments, according to a filing.\nMSP calls the total amount recovered (before paying out the assignor and lawyers) gross revenue, and expects to take in about $3.1 billion in 2023. In an investor presentation, the company argued that its 10.5-times multiple against that revenue was in-line with prominent private equity firms it identified as peers, including Blackstone Group Inc., Brookfield Asset Management, Ares Management Corp. and KKR & Co.\nIt forecasts net revenue for that year of $963 million, and net income of $632 million. By 2026, it expects gross revenues of $23.8 billion.\nValuation Questions\nLionheart is putting as much as $160 million into MSP, depending on shareholder redemptions, in exchange for about 0.7% of the merged company. Unlike most SPAC deals, there’s no private investment in public equity, or PIPE, being injected alongside the SPAC.\nThat may be partly due to questions over valuation. Hedge fund Marshall Wace, an existing Lionheart investor, discussed participating in a PIPE at a valuation closer to $10 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.\n“A wide range of valuations, which didn’t include the entire scope of what’s included in the company now, were discussed at a very preliminary stage nearly six months ago,” Ruiz said.\nA spokesperson for Marshall Wace declined to comment.\nShareholders who don’t redeem prior to the business combination are being offered at least 35 additional warrants allowing them to purchase shares at an $11.50 strike price. When those warrants are exercised, MSP’s founders — principally Ruiz — will sell their shares back to MSP at the strike price, meaning that on a net basis no new stock is issued. More than a billion such warrants will be dispersed.\nTransaction Costs\nRuiz has agreed to sell a large portion of his shares at 15% above their $10 value implied by the transaction, limiting his upside. Ruiz says it was part of the cost of getting the deal done.\nLionheart’s sponsor, controlled by Sternberg, will get about $60 million of shares, according to an investor presentation. Transaction costs, including banker fees, will eat up $70 million or about 30% of the cash Lionheart raised from investors last year. The remaining cash will be used to fund operations and growth. MSP anticipates $37 million in expenses this year on no revenue.\n“In the big scheme of things, it’s really de minimis,” Ruiz said, referring to the fees. “If I had to put a number on it, there’s more than 200, 300 people working on this deal.”\nOf all the players, Ruiz stands to gain the most. His 70% stake in the firm is worth close to $23 billion at the combination price. MSP and Lionheart executives will be allowed to sell 10% of their shares as soon as the transaction is completed, with the remainder subject to a six-month lock up.\nIt should be enough to buy as many cigarette boats as Ruiz wants. In fact, in May, he bought Cigarette Racing Team — the company, not the boat. His partner on the deal? None other than Sternberg.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":263,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":145723260,"gmtCreate":1626247665050,"gmtModify":1703756285856,"author":{"id":"3583751336625896","authorId":"3583751336625896","name":"khu","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583751336625896","authorIdStr":"3583751336625896"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lol","listText":"Lol","text":"Lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/145723260","repostId":"2151560584","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151560584","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1626207238,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2151560584?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-14 04:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 and Nasdaq end down after hitting record highs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151560584","media":"Reuters","summary":"JPMorgan drops amid low interest rates\nU.S. consumer prices surge in June\nBoeing slips on new produc","content":"<ul>\n <li>JPMorgan drops amid low interest rates</li>\n <li>U.S. consumer prices surge in June</li>\n <li>Boeing slips on new production problems for 787 Dreamliners</li>\n <li>Indexes: Dow -0.31%, S&amp;P 500 -0.35%, Nasdaq -0.38%</li>\n</ul>\n<p>(Updates following end of session)</p>\n<p>July 13 (Reuters) - The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq ended lower on Tuesday after hitting record highs earlier in the session, with investors digesting a jump in consumer prices in June and earnings from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs that kicked off the quarterly reporting season.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq reached fresh record highs but quickly fell into negative territory after an auction of 30-year Treasuries showed less demand than some investors expected and pushed yields higher.</p>\n<p>Data indicated U.S. consumer prices rose by the most in 13 years last month, while so-called core consumer prices surged 4.5% year over year, the largest rise since November 1991.</p>\n<p>Economists viewed the price surge, driven by travel-rated services and used automobiles, as mostly temporary, aligning with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's long-standing views.</p>\n<p>\"Any time you get an uptick in interest rates the stock market is going to get nervous, especially on a day like today,\" said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 growth index dipped 0.05%, while the value index fell 0.70%.</p>\n<p>\"With growth outperforming value, the takeaway is clearly that inflation from a market perspective is not a real threat in the long term,\" said Keith Buchanan, a portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments in Atlanta, Georgia.</p>\n<p>Ten of the 11 major S&amp;P 500 sector indexes ended lower, with real estate , consumer discretionary and financials each down more than 1%.</p>\n<p>JPMorgan Chase &amp;

That compares to shockingly large estimated increases in industrial sector profits of more than 570%, and energy industry profits, up 220%. Earnings for the financial and materials sectors are expected to be up more than 100% each.\nThose huge gains and expected earnings beats should be a positive for some cyclical stocks this quarter. Earnings season kicks off Tuesday with reports fromJPMorgan Chase,Goldman Sachs,andPepsiCo.\nThis earnings season will be the period where the tug of war that’s been a factor in the stock market, between cyclical and growth trades, is due to play out very clearly in the earnings numbers. Inflationary pressures, negative for tech stock performance, are expected to help boost cyclical earnings growth in the rebound, as companies face rising input costs but also up their prices.\n“I think what you’re going to see is a very unusual kind of contradiction between the data and the narrative,” said Jonathan Golub, chief U.S. equity strategist at Credit Suisse. “What companies are going to say is they are facing shortages and rising input costs and other things which are constraints to their success. And then what you’re going to see is massive beats and the biggest portions coming from higher margins. They’re not going to try to reconcile it.”\nGolub expects companies to provide detail on rising costs and supply shortages but not as much information on how much they are raising prices or how broadly.\n“If you listen to what the CFOs are going to say, you’re going to think the earnings are terrible, but if you look at the results, they’re going to be magnificent,” he said.\nBut ultimately, it’s tech and growth that will prove to be the best performers profit-wise over the long haul. “Their own earnings revisions for themselves are still good. They’re not deteriorating. They’re solid. They’re not getting worse. They’re not accelerating in this ridiculous way. They’re on the same solid trajectory they’ve been on,” said Brian Rauscher, Fundstrat head of global portfolio strategy.\nRauscher expects the trend to revert back to tech as the better earnings performer in two quarters from now, when cyclical airline stocks or industrial stocks like Caterpillar will see earnings growth back in the single digits. “Tech will keep growing at 25%,” he said.\nHe says economic growth will have slowed to a more normalized and sustained pace. By then it will be more apparent whether inflation is temporary or not.\n“If they are unable to pass along price increases, it will hit the earnings,” he said.\nGolub points out that tech profits in last year’s second quarter actually increased by 3.3% from 2019, as cyclical earnings plunged 85% in the same period. The 2021 second quarter earnings growth estimate for tech is 34.2%, while some cyclical earnings will rebound by more than 570% just to get back to even with 2019.\n“It says one of these is a near term trade, and one of them is a long term trade,” said Golub. “Once the supply chain issues are gone, [cyclicals] are going to be unimpressive.”\nEven with the push pull of tech and growth versus cyclical trades, strategists say the earning season should be good for the stock market.\n“I think the numbers will be very good, and it’ll be supportive for markets,” said Rauscher. He said some investors may be concerned that a peak period of earnings this quarter will lead to a market decline but he doesn’t expect that to be the case.\n“Obviously, the numbers are going to be outsized because we have that weird comparison from last year. I think the important thing is going to be the return of guidance,” Rauscher said. Both he and Golub say they expect earnings to beat to the upside.\n“I think the analysts have underestimated the improvement in operating leverage,” Rauscher said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":334,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":142275065,"gmtCreate":1626157745457,"gmtModify":1703754490044,"author":{"id":"3583751336625896","authorId":"3583751336625896","name":"khu","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583751336625896","authorIdStr":"3583751336625896"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/142275065","repostId":"1101566017","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":334,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":145723260,"gmtCreate":1626247665050,"gmtModify":1703756285856,"author":{"id":"3583751336625896","authorId":"3583751336625896","name":"khu","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583751336625896","authorIdStr":"3583751336625896"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lol","listText":"Lol","text":"Lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/145723260","repostId":"2151560584","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151560584","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1626207238,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2151560584?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-14 04:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 and Nasdaq end down after hitting record highs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151560584","media":"Reuters","summary":"JPMorgan drops amid low interest rates\nU.S. consumer prices surge in June\nBoeing slips on new produc","content":"<ul>\n <li>JPMorgan drops amid low interest rates</li>\n <li>U.S. consumer prices surge in June</li>\n <li>Boeing slips on new production problems for 787 Dreamliners</li>\n <li>Indexes: Dow -0.31%, S&amp;P 500 -0.35%, Nasdaq -0.38%</li>\n</ul>\n<p>(Updates following end of session)</p>\n<p>July 13 (Reuters) - The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq ended lower on Tuesday after hitting record highs earlier in the session, with investors digesting a jump in consumer prices in June and earnings from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs that kicked off the quarterly reporting season.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq reached fresh record highs but quickly fell into negative territory after an auction of 30-year Treasuries showed less demand than some investors expected and pushed yields higher.</p>\n<p>Data indicated U.S. consumer prices rose by the most in 13 years last month, while so-called core consumer prices surged 4.5% year over year, the largest rise since November 1991.</p>\n<p>Economists viewed the price surge, driven by travel-rated services and used automobiles, as mostly temporary, aligning with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's long-standing views.</p>\n<p>\"Any time you get an uptick in interest rates the stock market is going to get nervous, especially on a day like today,\" said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 growth index dipped 0.05%, while the value index fell 0.70%.</p>\n<p>\"With growth outperforming value, the takeaway is clearly that inflation from a market perspective is not a real threat in the long term,\" said Keith Buchanan, a portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments in Atlanta, Georgia.</p>\n<p>Ten of the 11 major S&amp;P 500 sector indexes ended lower, with real estate , consumer discretionary and financials each down more than 1%.</p>\n<p>JPMorgan Chase &amp;

Revenue was up slightly on the first quarter, the bank said.\n\"What we're seeing is people starting to spend and act more in a way that seems more like it was before the pandemic started and, certainly on the consumer side, spending is up quite a bit, even when you compare it to 2018,\" Wells Fargo chief financial officer Mike Santomassimo told reporters.\nWhile loan growth is still tepid, which is usually bad for bank profits, there were signs that demand is creeping back.\nExcluding loans related to the U.S. government's pandemic aid program, loan balances at Bank of America, for example, grew $5.1 billion from the first quarter.read more\n\"Deposit growth is strong, and loan levels have begun to grow,\" Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said in a statement.\nJPMorgan, the country's largest lender, on Tuesday reported profits of $11.9 billion compared with $4.7 billion last year.\nCitigroup's second-quarter profit rose to $6.19 billion, up from $1.06 billion last year, while Bank of America's profit jumped to $8.96 billion from $3.28 billion.\nWells Fargo posted a profit of $6 billion compared with a loss of $3.85 billion last year, which was largely related to special items.\nWhile the results indicate good news for consumers and businesses, low interest rates, weak loan demand and a slowdown in trading will probably weigh on results going forward, analysts said.\nThe U.S. Federal Reserve is staying the course, with an inflation target of 2% and no plans to tighten monetary policy by, for instance, raising interest rates, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in prepared remarks for a congressional appearance on Wednesday.read more\nThat suggests banks will have to deal with low rates for an extended period of time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":147874992,"gmtCreate":1626353537916,"gmtModify":1703758470661,"author":{"id":"3583751336625896","authorId":"3583751336625896","name":"khu","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583751336625896","authorIdStr":"3583751336625896"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/147874992","repostId":"2151510215","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151510215","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626339420,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2151510215?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-15 16:57","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"Jobless claims preview: New weekly filings likely reached pandemic-era low of 350,000","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151510215","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"New weekly jobless claims are expected to fall to the lowest level since March 2020, closing back in","content":"<p>New weekly jobless claims are expected to fall to the lowest level since March 2020, closing back in on pre-pandemic levels as the rate of new joblessness slowed further.</p>\n<p>The Department of Labor is set to release its weekly report on new jobless claims Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Ruiz is on no one’s list of Wall Street big shots.\nOver the years the Miami l","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- John H. Ruiz is on no one’s list of Wall Street big shots.</p>\n<p>Over the years the Miami lawyer has hosted a Spanish language cable-TV show, owned a high school sport website and worked on class-action lawsuits. At one point, his luxury cigarette boat was repossessed, according to a published report — an episode Ruiz has called a misunderstanding.</p>\n<p>Yet today Ruiz is on the cusp of a $23 billion fortune as his MSP Recovery enters into a merger with Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, a $230 million special purpose acquisition company founded by a former member of an Israel Defense Forces elite combat unit who spent most of his career in real estate.</p>\n<p>If the deal is completed, it will go down as one of the most unusual SPAC transactions yet. Aside from the disparate backgrounds of its principals, the company forecasts zero revenue this year, there are none of the traditional co-investors participating and three of Lionheart’s directors have resigned in recent months. And at a $32.6 billion valuation, it’s the second-biggest proposed SPAC transaction after Grab Holdings’ $40 billion merger scheduled for later this year.</p>\n<p><b>SPAC Fortunes</b></p>\n<p>SPACs have become synonymous with enormous fortunes seemingly created overnight, such as the $11.3 billion stake Mat Ishbia realized when his mortgage company was taken public. But other fortunes have faded just as fast. Nikola Corp.’s Trevor Milton saw his net worth peak at almost $10 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, before allegations of fraud tanked the stock and forced him out of leadership at the company.</p>\n<p>The frenzied dealmaking has also drawn the attention of regulators, who have zeroed in on the sometimes dubious business practices and questionable disclosures of merging firms, as well as the misalignment of interests between the people selling SPACs and those buying them. The Securities and Exchange Commission took the rare step this week of sanctioning a SPAC and its merger target — a space-cargo firm — for misleading investors.</p>\n<p>The choice of MSP Recovery, a health-care payments recovery firm, comes despite Lionheart saying in its prospectus and website that it was looking for an acquisition in the real estate sector, which is where founder Ophir Sternberg spent most of his career.</p>\n<p>After emigrating from Israel in 1993 and a stint in New York, Sternberg bought and sold real estate in South Florida for most of the past decade. But he spotted an opportunity in the red-hot world of SPACs, and in December led the combination of restaurant chain BurgerFi International Inc. with Opes Acquisition Corp.</p>\n<p>BurgerFi shares closed Tuesday at $10.66, just above the $10 offering price of the SPAC that it merged with. For the year, they’re down 22%.</p>\n<p>BurgerFi’s $100 million deal is set to be dwarfed by Lionheart’s combination with MSP. Sternberg took Lionheart Acquistion Corporation II public last August.</p>\n<p><b>‘Deal Done’</b></p>\n<p>“Most SPACs ask for a 24 months before they throw in the towel and have to redeem,” Sternberg told Bloomberg News at the time. “I told my investors at the IPO level that I was very confident that we could get a deal done within a shorter time frame, so I took the lifespan down to 18 months.”</p>\n<p>That put added pressure on Lionheart to find a deal quickly, even as it competed against a greater number of SPACs chasing a limited number of potential targets. If no agreement is reached before 18 months, Sternberg and his team earn nothing from the SPAC.</p>\n<p>Leading up to the MSP transaction, three directors on Lionheart’s five-person board resigned. One of them, Trevor Barran, who was also the firm’s chief operating officer, left last week, just days before the deal was announced on Monday. A fourth died in June.</p>\n<p>“Lionheart brought in new board of director members to eliminate any potential or perceived conflicts of interest, better align the board’s collective expertise with MSP’s business, and to have a total of four independent directors, one more than required,” a spokesperson for Lionheart said in a statement.</p>\n<p>MSP Recovery describes itself as a pioneer in obtaining reimbursements for Medicare and other health-care claims that should have been covered by other parties. The Coral Gables, Florida-based firm looks through records and identifies potentially erroneous payments using complex data analysis techniques. MSP said it owns nearly $50 billion in billed claims from its clients.</p>\n<p><b>‘Humongous Flaw’</b></p>\n<p>“The scalability of this business is beyond any business that exists,” said Ruiz, MSP’s founder and chief executive officer. “There’s a humongous flaw in the data capturing of medical claims and the insurance processing of those claims. This is a disruptive process that we’ve created and we’re changing the way that it’s done.”</p>\n<p>If MSP is able to collect a payment, it typically shares half the money with the claim assignor, such as an insurance company that paid a wrong amount, and then pays lawyers 40% of the balance. MSP keeps what’s left.</p>\n<p>A law firm owned by Ruiz and MSP’s chief legal officer will the exclusive lead counsel for MSP, meaning it stands to receive 20% of all recovered payments, according to a filing.</p>\n<p>MSP calls the total amount recovered (before paying out the assignor and lawyers) gross revenue, and expects to take in about $3.1 billion in 2023. In an investor presentation, the company argued that its 10.5-times multiple against that revenue was in-line with prominent private equity firms it identified as peers, including Blackstone Group Inc., Brookfield Asset Management, Ares Management Corp. and KKR &amp; Co.</p>\n<p>It forecasts net revenue for that year of $963 million, and net income of $632 million. By 2026, it expects gross revenues of $23.8 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation Questions</b></p>\n<p>Lionheart is putting as much as $160 million into MSP, depending on shareholder redemptions, in exchange for about 0.7% of the merged company. Unlike most SPAC deals, there’s no private investment in public equity, or PIPE, being injected alongside the SPAC.</p>\n<p>That may be partly due to questions over valuation. Hedge fund Marshall Wace, an existing Lionheart investor, discussed participating in a PIPE at a valuation closer to $10 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.</p>\n<p>“A wide range of valuations, which didn’t include the entire scope of what’s included in the company now, were discussed at a very preliminary stage nearly six months ago,” Ruiz said.</p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Marshall Wace declined to comment.</p>\n<p>Shareholders who don’t redeem prior to the business combination are being offered at least 35 additional warrants allowing them to purchase shares at an $11.50 strike price. When those warrants are exercised, MSP’s founders — principally Ruiz — will sell their shares back to MSP at the strike price, meaning that on a net basis no new stock is issued. More than a billion such warrants will be dispersed.</p>\n<p><b>Transaction Costs</b></p>\n<p>Ruiz has agreed to sell a large portion of his shares at 15% above their $10 value implied by the transaction, limiting his upside. Ruiz says it was part of the cost of getting the deal done.</p>\n<p>Lionheart’s sponsor, controlled by Sternberg, will get about $60 million of shares, according to an investor presentation. Transaction costs, including banker fees, will eat up $70 million or about 30% of the cash Lionheart raised from investors last year. The remaining cash will be used to fund operations and growth. MSP anticipates $37 million in expenses this year on no revenue.</p>\n<p>“In the big scheme of things, it’s really de minimis,” Ruiz said, referring to the fees. “If I had to put a number on it, there’s more than 200, 300 people working on this deal.”</p>\n<p>Of all the players, Ruiz stands to gain the most. His 70% stake in the firm is worth close to $23 billion at the combination price.

Ruiz is on no one’s list of Wall Street big shots.\nOver the years the Miami lawyer has hosted a Spanish language cable-TV show, owned a high school sport website and worked on class-action lawsuits. At one point, his luxury cigarette boat was repossessed, according to a published report — an episode Ruiz has called a misunderstanding.\nYet today Ruiz is on the cusp of a $23 billion fortune as his MSP Recovery enters into a merger with Lionheart Acquisition Corporation II, a $230 million special purpose acquisition company founded by a former member of an Israel Defense Forces elite combat unit who spent most of his career in real estate.\nIf the deal is completed, it will go down as one of the most unusual SPAC transactions yet. Aside from the disparate backgrounds of its principals, the company forecasts zero revenue this year, there are none of the traditional co-investors participating and three of Lionheart’s directors have resigned in recent months. And at a $32.6 billion valuation, it’s the second-biggest proposed SPAC transaction after Grab Holdings’ $40 billion merger scheduled for later this year.\nSPAC Fortunes\nSPACs have become synonymous with enormous fortunes seemingly created overnight, such as the $11.3 billion stake Mat Ishbia realized when his mortgage company was taken public. But other fortunes have faded just as fast. Nikola Corp.’s Trevor Milton saw his net worth peak at almost $10 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, before allegations of fraud tanked the stock and forced him out of leadership at the company.\nThe frenzied dealmaking has also drawn the attention of regulators, who have zeroed in on the sometimes dubious business practices and questionable disclosures of merging firms, as well as the misalignment of interests between the people selling SPACs and those buying them. The Securities and Exchange Commission took the rare step this week of sanctioning a SPAC and its merger target — a space-cargo firm — for misleading investors.\nThe choice of MSP Recovery, a health-care payments recovery firm, comes despite Lionheart saying in its prospectus and website that it was looking for an acquisition in the real estate sector, which is where founder Ophir Sternberg spent most of his career.\nAfter emigrating from Israel in 1993 and a stint in New York, Sternberg bought and sold real estate in South Florida for most of the past decade. But he spotted an opportunity in the red-hot world of SPACs, and in December led the combination of restaurant chain BurgerFi International Inc. with Opes Acquisition Corp.\nBurgerFi shares closed Tuesday at $10.66, just above the $10 offering price of the SPAC that it merged with. For the year, they’re down 22%.\nBurgerFi’s $100 million deal is set to be dwarfed by Lionheart’s combination with MSP. Sternberg took Lionheart Acquistion Corporation II public last August.\n‘Deal Done’\n“Most SPACs ask for a 24 months before they throw in the towel and have to redeem,” Sternberg told Bloomberg News at the time. “I told my investors at the IPO level that I was very confident that we could get a deal done within a shorter time frame, so I took the lifespan down to 18 months.”\nThat put added pressure on Lionheart to find a deal quickly, even as it competed against a greater number of SPACs chasing a limited number of potential targets. If no agreement is reached before 18 months, Sternberg and his team earn nothing from the SPAC.\nLeading up to the MSP transaction, three directors on Lionheart’s five-person board resigned. One of them, Trevor Barran, who was also the firm’s chief operating officer, left last week, just days before the deal was announced on Monday. A fourth died in June.\n“Lionheart brought in new board of director members to eliminate any potential or perceived conflicts of interest, better align the board’s collective expertise with MSP’s business, and to have a total of four independent directors, one more than required,” a spokesperson for Lionheart said in a statement.\nMSP Recovery describes itself as a pioneer in obtaining reimbursements for Medicare and other health-care claims that should have been covered by other parties. The Coral Gables, Florida-based firm looks through records and identifies potentially erroneous payments using complex data analysis techniques. MSP said it owns nearly $50 billion in billed claims from its clients.\n‘Humongous Flaw’\n“The scalability of this business is beyond any business that exists,” said Ruiz, MSP’s founder and chief executive officer. “There’s a humongous flaw in the data capturing of medical claims and the insurance processing of those claims. This is a disruptive process that we’ve created and we’re changing the way that it’s done.”\nIf MSP is able to collect a payment, it typically shares half the money with the claim assignor, such as an insurance company that paid a wrong amount, and then pays lawyers 40% of the balance. MSP keeps what’s left.\nA law firm owned by Ruiz and MSP’s chief legal officer will the exclusive lead counsel for MSP, meaning it stands to receive 20% of all recovered payments, according to a filing.\nMSP calls the total amount recovered (before paying out the assignor and lawyers) gross revenue, and expects to take in about $3.1 billion in 2023. In an investor presentation, the company argued that its 10.5-times multiple against that revenue was in-line with prominent private equity firms it identified as peers, including Blackstone Group Inc., Brookfield Asset Management, Ares Management Corp. and KKR & Co.\nIt forecasts net revenue for that year of $963 million, and net income of $632 million. By 2026, it expects gross revenues of $23.8 billion.\nValuation Questions\nLionheart is putting as much as $160 million into MSP, depending on shareholder redemptions, in exchange for about 0.7% of the merged company. Unlike most SPAC deals, there’s no private investment in public equity, or PIPE, being injected alongside the SPAC.\nThat may be partly due to questions over valuation. Hedge fund Marshall Wace, an existing Lionheart investor, discussed participating in a PIPE at a valuation closer to $10 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.\n“A wide range of valuations, which didn’t include the entire scope of what’s included in the company now, were discussed at a very preliminary stage nearly six months ago,” Ruiz said.\nA spokesperson for Marshall Wace declined to comment.\nShareholders who don’t redeem prior to the business combination are being offered at least 35 additional warrants allowing them to purchase shares at an $11.50 strike price. When those warrants are exercised, MSP’s founders — principally Ruiz — will sell their shares back to MSP at the strike price, meaning that on a net basis no new stock is issued. More than a billion such warrants will be dispersed.\nTransaction Costs\nRuiz has agreed to sell a large portion of his shares at 15% above their $10 value implied by the transaction, limiting his upside. Ruiz says it was part of the cost of getting the deal done.\nLionheart’s sponsor, controlled by Sternberg, will get about $60 million of shares, according to an investor presentation. Transaction costs, including banker fees, will eat up $70 million or about 30% of the cash Lionheart raised from investors last year. The remaining cash will be used to fund operations and growth. MSP anticipates $37 million in expenses this year on no revenue.\n“In the big scheme of things, it’s really de minimis,” Ruiz said, referring to the fees. “If I had to put a number on it, there’s more than 200, 300 people working on this deal.”\nOf all the players, Ruiz stands to gain the most. His 70% stake in the firm is worth close to $23 billion at the combination price. MSP and Lionheart executives will be allowed to sell 10% of their shares as soon as the transaction is completed, with the remainder subject to a six-month lock up.\nIt should be enough to buy as many cigarette boats as Ruiz wants. In fact, in May, he bought Cigarette Racing Team — the company, not the boat. His partner on the deal? None other than Sternberg.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":263,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
