However, consumers have also begun to increasingly expect higher inflation in the future, with this shift in psychology also contributing in part to the Fed's decision-making.

Revenue is expected to grow 14% to $1.17 billion.</p><p>Investors on the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets pushed up shares of GameStop initially in January, flocking en masse to the heavily shorted stock to force short-sellers to cover their positions and push the stock's price even higher. Shares of GameStop have rallied by more than 1,200% for the year-to-date through Friday's close.</p><p>According to data from S3 Partners' Ihor Dusaniwsky, short interest in GameStop totaled $2.99 billion as of Friday's close, with 11.58 million shares shorted for a 20.3% short percent of float.

Shares of AMC have risen by more than 400% over the past one month, compared to a 56% increase in shares of GameStop. And AMC's market capitalization eclipsed that of GameStop last week, with the former's market value jumping above $30 billion.</p><p>The vast majority of the moves in the meme stocks were driven by social media popularity as opposed to traditional measures of stock valuation such as earnings and expected future cash flows. However, some have asserted that there is a fundamental argument to be made for investing in shares of AMC and GameStop, with the consumer-facing, brick-and-mortar businesses benefiting from the same \"reopening trade\" rotation that has lifted airline, cruise line, leisure stocks and retailers.</p><p>Still, most Wall Street analysts remain on the sidelines. Three analysts gave GameStop's shares a sell recommendation and two offered a hold, according to Bloomberg data last week. Likewise, AMC garnered four Sell ratings and five Holds. No analysts rated either stock as a Buy, with the vast majority of analysts suggesting the stocks' prices had outrun the underlying value of the businesses. And last week, major banks including Bank of America, Citigroup and Jefferies tightened rules over which clients could participate in short selling of the meme stocks, in an attempt to limit exposure to the extreme volatility these securities have witnessed recently, Bloomberg reported.</p><p>But given the lasting explosion in meme stocks this year, many have conceded that social media-driven trading represents a paradigm shift in the market.</p><p>“This is no longer our grandparents’, or for that matter, our parents' stock market,” Zephyr Market Strategist Ryan Nauman told Yahoo Finance. “Now, investment professionals need to start focusing more on looking at alternative data sets, rethinking their investment thesis to consider this growing cohort of retail investors.”</p><p>Others suggested the heightened speculative trading among retail investors may begin to dwindle once more investors are pulled back into workplaces in person and time at home for trading becomes scarcer.</p><p>\"Participation of the retail investor in U.S. equities has very, very closely followed inversely the COVID timeline. So one of my favorite charts is looking at an Apple mobility index for the U.S., you invert it, and you overlay whatever your favorite measure of retail participation is ... and there is a very striking correlation,\" Binky Chadha, Deustche Bank chief global strategist, told Yahoo Finance on Thursday. \"So I would argue that the participation is following this ... and the thesis is that as markets reopen, retail participation is going to come down.\"</p><p>\"We tend to think of it as a flash in the pan as opposed to a change in the trend,\" he concluded.</p><h2>Economic Calendar</h2><ul><li><p><b>Monday: </b>Consumer credit ($20.000 billion expected, $25.841 billion in March)</p></li><li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>NFIB Small Business Optimism, May (100.5 expected, 99.8 in April);

Three analysts gave GameStop's shares a sell recommendation and two offered a hold, according to Bloomberg data last week. Likewise, AMC garnered four Sell ratings and five Holds. No analysts rated either stock as a Buy, with the vast majority of analysts suggesting the stocks' prices had outrun the underlying value of the businesses. And last week, major banks including Bank of America, Citigroup and Jefferies tightened rules over which clients could participate in short selling of the meme stocks, in an attempt to limit exposure to the extreme volatility these securities have witnessed recently, Bloomberg reported.But given the lasting explosion in meme stocks this year, many have conceded that social media-driven trading represents a paradigm shift in the market.“This is no longer our grandparents’, or for that matter, our parents' stock market,” Zephyr Market Strategist Ryan Nauman told Yahoo Finance. “Now, investment professionals need to start focusing more on looking at alternative data sets, rethinking their investment thesis to consider this growing cohort of retail investors.”Others suggested the heightened speculative trading among retail investors may begin to dwindle once more investors are pulled back into workplaces in person and time at home for trading becomes scarcer.\"Participation of the retail investor in U.S. equities has very, very closely followed inversely the COVID timeline. So one of my favorite charts is looking at an Apple mobility index for the U.S., you invert it, and you overlay whatever your favorite measure of retail participation is ... and there is a very striking correlation,\" Binky Chadha, Deustche Bank chief global strategist, told Yahoo Finance on Thursday. \"So I would argue that the participation is following this ... and the thesis is that as markets reopen, retail participation is going to come down.\"\"We tend to think of it as a flash in the pan as opposed to a change in the trend,\" he concluded.Economic CalendarMonday: Consumer credit ($20.000 billion expected, $25.841 billion in March)Tuesday: NFIB Small Business Optimism, May (100.5 expected, 99.8 in April); Trade balance, April (-$69.0 billion expected, -$74.4 billion in March); JOLTS Job Openings, April (8.123 million in March)Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended June 4 (-4.0% during prior week); Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, April final (0.8% expected, 0.8% in prior print)Thursday: Consumer price index, month-over-month, May (0.4% expected, 0.8% in April); Consumer price index excluding food and energy, month-over-month, May (0.4% expected, 0.9% in April); Consumer price index, year-over-year, May (4.7% expected, 4.2% in April); Consumer price index excluding food and energy, year-over-year, May (3.4% expected, 3.0% in April); Initial jobless claims, week ended June 5 (372,000 expected, 385,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended May 29 (3.771 million during prior week); Household change in net worth, Q1 ($6.93 trillion in Q4); Monthly budget statement, May (-$225.6 billion in April)Friday: University of Michigan sentiment, June preliminary (84.0 expected, 82.9 in May)Earnings CalendarMonday: Coupa Software (COUP), StitchFix (SFIX) after market closeTuesday: N/AWednesday: RH (RH), GameStop (GME) after market closeThursday: FuelCell Energy (FCEL) before market open; Chewy (CHWY), Dave & Buster's Entertainment (PLAY) after market closeFriday: N/A","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":115350060,"gmtCreate":1622952925250,"gmtModify":1704193722634,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583915917451734","authorIdStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/115350060","repostId":"1106312903","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106312903","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622855773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106312903?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-05 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Digital Payments, Mental Health Services, And More In A Diverse 8 IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106312903","media":"Renaissance Capital","summary":"Summary\n\nEight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental h","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</li>\n <li>Payments platform Marqeta plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.</li>\n <li>Chinese online recruitment platform Kanzhun plans to raise $864 million at an $8.2 billion market cap.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</p>\n<p>Payments platform&nbsp;<b>Marqeta</b>(MQ) plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.

It has only been three short years since NIO made its first deliveries in mid-2018, yet many are already wondering whether its share price can reach similar heights as an industry leader, Tesla’s(NASDAQ:TSLA). Albeit a little farfetched given Tesla is currently trading at more than $600 per share with a market cap of more than $600 billion, we do believe NIO has promising potential to break $100 per share before 2025. Even Wall Street Analysts remain optimistic about the company’s future by assigning a&nbsp;price target of close to $60, which represents upward potential of more than 35% based on the last traded share price of $42.34 (June 1st).</p>\n<p>Founded in 2014, NIO has sold and delivered more than 100,000 vehicles in China to date. The company boasts a fleet of five emission-free, fully battery-powered models, ranging from sports cars to luxury sedans and full-size SUVs. In addition to their vehicles, NIO is also known for their significant progress achieved in innovative technology, including state-of-the-art battery solutions, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving. The company has also recently turned their global expansion plans into reality, with the first overseas NIO store to open in Oslo, Norway in Q3 2021. We believe that reaching a share price of $100 is no longer a question of “if”, but instead, “when”.</p>\n<p><b>A Trailblazer in Innovative Technology</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16d9fd877602d5604bc3a69593badfdf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"262\"><span>Source:ir.nio.com</span></p>\n<p>NIO has continuously exhibited characteristics of an unsettling innovator. The brand is widely known for their breakthrough in battery swapping technology, “Power Swap”, which provides NIO owners with a fast and convenient solution to concerns over the typically limited travel range of EVs. Similar to a gas station, Power Swap is a battery swapping station that can swap a dead battery out for a fully charged one in under three minutes; a fully charged battery enables a NIO vehicle to travel up to 435 miles, which is more than double of the&nbsp;181-mile average travel range of electric vehicles&nbsp;currently available on the market. NIO owners have the option to subscribe to the“Battery as a Service” (“BaaS”)package, which is a monthly subscription service that provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal needs. The company currently offers a standard 75 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 310 miles on a full charge, and an enhanced 100 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 435 miles on a full charge; both are available for NIO owners to choose from on a month-to-month basis under BaaS. To date, there are&nbsp;more than 226 battery swapping stations&nbsp;across China, with more on the way following a recent&nbsp;strategic partnership agreement&nbsp;between NIO and Sinopec. NIO’s vehicles are also compatible with local competitor XPeng’s(NYSE:XPEV)1,140 vehicle charging stations available across 164 cities in China, which further enhances its existing network of charging infrastructure in place for NIO owners.</p>\n<p>In addition to the developed network of infrastructure needed to sustain NIO EVs in the long run, the company has also been working diligently on perfecting their autonomous driving and AI technology in order to remain competitive in the broader EV and tech space. NIO has already been performing testing on its autonomous driving systems since 2016, with their first testing on public roads in Beijing performed in 2018. The company’s commitment to the future of passenger transportation is also proven through their development of&nbsp;EVE, the brand’s concept car for autonomous driving which encompasses a luxurious, comfortable and safe experience powered by NIO’s&nbsp;NOMI AI, the world’s first in-vehicle artificial intelligence.</p>\n<p>To further enhance their progress in autonomous driving technology, NIO has recently&nbsp;partnered with Mobileye&nbsp;– an Intel-owned(NASDAQ:INTC)company known for developing the “EyeQ chip” currently used by more than 27 car manufacturers for their assisted-driving technologies – to develop and commercialize driving automation that does not require human interaction (i.e. “level 4” autonomous driving). Their collaboration is expected to accelerate NIO’s launch of the “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”) package, which is a monthly subscription for their autonomous driving technology, “NIO Autonomous Driving” (“NAD”). However, similar to Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” package, the NAD technology that is expected to launch in 2022 does not yet make NIO vehicles capable of driving without human intervention, but it does catapult NIO to a comparable spot with industry leader Tesla in the race towards level 4 autonomous driving. NIO owners will have the option to subscribe to ADaaS for a monthly subscription fee of RMB 680. With more than 102,000 NIO vehicles on the road today, the new subscription package is expected to generate incremental annual sales of RMB 840 million ($132 million); the additional revenue stream is valued at approximately RMB 10 billion ($1.6 billion) upon the service’s inception, assuming an average vehicle life of 12 years with most existing NIO owners signing up.</p>\n<p>NIO’s continuous developments in autonomous driving technology are expected to benefit the company and its shareholders greatly in the near future. By 2025, the global autonomous cars market will become one of the fastest growing and most highly demanded segments with an&nbsp;estimated value of $1.6 trillion. A 6% share of this market would add a valuation of at least $100 billion to NIO’s existing $67 billion market cap, boosting its per unit share value to more than $100. Considering NIO is currently one of the very few fully electric automakers to have achieved tangible results within the autonomous driving scene, and is actively growing its overseas sales, we are confident that the company is capable of capturing more than 6% of the said market share, and achieve a per unit share price of more than $100 by 2025 with ease.

In mid-2020, the municipal government of Hefei, China came to NIO’s rescue with a&nbsp;capital injection of RMB 7 billion&nbsp;(approximately $1 billion). The arrangement resulted in the creation of “NIO China”, which serves as the operating entity that holds all of NIO’s core businesses and assets; NIO currently holds a 90.36% ownership interest in NIO China, while the “Hefei Strategic Investors” consortium holds the remainder 9.64%. The partnership became the company’s lifeline; the additional capital brought forth significant improvements to the company’s operations and vehicle sales, which were reflected in their strong financial performance and upward trend in share price in the summer of 2020. By the end of 2020’s second quarter, NIO’s share price rebounded by almost 20% on average after posting a 171% quarter-over-quarter increase in total revenues. The company’s share price more than tripled in 2020’s third quarter, averaging $15.40, and continued to climb towards its fourth quarter average of $38.70. By the end of the latest quarter ended March 31st, 2021, NIO’s share price averaged $50.97, and peaked at almost $62 in February which is more than 10x its&nbsp;IPO price in 2018. The company holds a market cap of more than $67 billion today, outgrowing its mere $1 billion market cap when it made its debut on the NYSE.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75a1d7edb18c1762028ba54f617e1982\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"250\"><span>Source: Author, with data from ir.nio.com</span></p>\n<p>NIO’s fundamentals have also shown nothing but steady improvements since its share price peaked earlier this year before the&nbsp;growth stock sell-off in late February. Deliveries in 2021 have continued to accelerate exponentially, with first quarter deliveries of more than 20,000 vehicles, representing almost 50% of total deliveries made in 2020. The company continues to exhibit a promising outlook with more than 7,100 vehicles delivered in April, representing an increase of more than 125% year-over-year. NIO has also maintained positive cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2021, thanks to the higher deliveries and effective cost-management measures which have amped up their gross profit margin to 19.5%, comparable with industry leaders like Tesla whose first quarter gross margins were 21%. As aforementioned, we are forecasting vehicle sales of close to 300,000 units by FY 2025, which translates to approximately RMB 140 billion ($22 billion) in total revenues ($18.60 per share). Our vehicle sales forecast for FY 2025 is further corroborated by the&nbsp;recently renewed manufacturing agreement&nbsp;with joint venturer “Jianghuai Automobile Group” (“JAC”), which increases the current annual production capacity of 100,000 units to 240,000 units; the ongoing construction of “NeoPark” in Hefei, China is also expected to add annual production capacity of 1 million units, which further supports our positive outlook on NIO’s continued commitment to grow its business. Considering industry peer Tesla’s current P/S ratio of 16.43x with approximately $42 billion in annual revenues (annualization of $10.389 billion in first quarter revenues), the same proportion applied to NIO’s forecasted FY 2025 total revenues is expected to yield a P/S ratio of 8.7x, resulting in a share price of more than $160.</p>\n<p><b>NIO vs. LI and XPEV</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/af8fa939f92be448d1f427a6ac4bfb25\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>Source: Finviz</span></p>\n<p>We have also compared NIO’s current P/S ratio to its domestic peers to gauge the timeline in which NIO’s share price will exceed $100. NIO currently trades at a P/S ratio of approximately 14.88x, while domestic industry peers, Li Auto(NASDAQ:LI)and XPEV, currently trade at a P/S ratio of 14.46x and 21.31x, respectively.</p>\n<p>Considering NIO’s technology, revenues, global footprint, and cash flows are stronger than LI’s and XPEV’s, the former deserves to be traded at a much higher multiple than the latter two. Even if NIO reaches a P/S ratio of 18.1x (mid-point to XPEV's), it will drive the company’s current share price up to $51.50, which represents an upside potential of 22% based on the last traded share price of $42.34 (June 1st). And based on our forecasted revenues for FY 2025 for NIO of RMB 140 billion ($22 billion), or $18.60 per share, even a multiple half of the 18.1x would be more than sufficient to bring NIO's share price beyond $160 by 2025; we believe the trading multiple is achievable for NIO given the cash from operations and technological advancements achieved by then would place them on a trajectory of continued long-term growth within the EV industry, which is expected to continue into 2030 and beyond when the brand's level 4 autonomous driving technology development is complete and commercialized.</p>\n<p><b>Business Risks and Challenges</b></p>\n<p>As mentioned in one of my&nbsp;previous articles on NIO, the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” (“HFCA Act”) remains one of the most significant impending threats to the company’s share price. Currently, public accounting firms in China are non-compliant with PCAOB inspection rules required by the SEC, and the enactment of the HFCA Act in December 2020 requires that these public accounting firms comply with PCAOB inspection requests within three years of the enactment date; otherwise, all public companies audited by said firms will be subject to risks of de-listing. NIO is currently audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, which is on PCAOB’s&nbsp;denied-access list. The potential threat of being delisted from the NYSE could be a deterrence factor to investors and ultimately hemorrhage NIO’s share price in the long run if Chinese authorities and the PCAOB cannot reach an agreement on conducting inspections soon.</p>\n<p>Another imminent challenge to NIO’s business is the ongoing global chip supply shortage. As the automotive industry becomes more dependent on chips to manage every function of their vehicles, the gap between automaker demands and chip manufacturer supplies is widened. NIO was no exception to the impacts of the ongoing chip supply crisis – in March 2021, NIO halted their production activity at the JAC-NIO manufacturing plant for five working days in order to adjust their production levels. However, the company continues to effectively navigate through the situation as proven through their increasing number of deliveries month-over-month; in NIO’s latest delivery update press release for April, the company has continued to keep up with market demand with more than 7,100 vehicle deliveries made, representing a 125% year-over-year growth.</p>\n<p>Competition within the EV sector has also ramped up in recent years. Consumer attitude towards EVs has changed drastically in the past decade due to rising concerns over climate change met with price parity between traditional petrol-fueled vehicles and EVs. The entry barrier for emerging EV makers has also lowered significantly as car battery solutions become more accessible through third-party OEMs; new entrants are now keener on participating in the profitable opportunity within the growing EV sector as initial investments become more reasonable than it was for Tesla in 2003 when EVs were still just a concept to many. In addition to new entrants, traditional petrol-fueled automakers like Ford(NYSE:F)have also started to incorporate fully battery-powered vehicles into their fleet in order to meet evolving consumer demands and remain competitive within the automotive industry. However, we believe NIO possesses the brand, customer experience, production strategy, talent and business model (further analyzedhere) needed to remain successful within the new competitive landscape in the long run.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>NIO has already established a strong brand presence within the domestic Chinese market, which is currently one of the fastest growing EV markets, representing more than 40% of global EV sales in 2020. Combined with their proven ability to produce quality EVs, construct innovative charging infrastructure, achieve breakthrough progress in the development of autonomous driving technology, and execute their overseas expansion strategy, NIO is effectively narrowing the gap between them and Tesla within the EV sector on a global scale. We are confident that the next five years will be a transformational era for the EV and tech company due to increasing demands for electrification and automation within the automotive industry, which NIO has already proven to excel in. The value of its continued achievements will be reflected in its share price in no time, making them a worthy stock pick for those looking to profit off of the impending age of green transition and automation.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Can NIO Stock Reach $100?

It has only been three short years since NIO made its first deliveries in mid-2018, yet many are already wondering whether its share price can reach similar heights as an industry leader, Tesla’s(NASDAQ:TSLA). Albeit a little farfetched given Tesla is currently trading at more than $600 per share with a market cap of more than $600 billion, we do believe NIO has promising potential to break $100 per share before 2025. Even Wall Street Analysts remain optimistic about the company’s future by assigning a price target of close to $60, which represents upward potential of more than 35% based on the last traded share price of $42.34 (June 1st).\nFounded in 2014, NIO has sold and delivered more than 100,000 vehicles in China to date. The company boasts a fleet of five emission-free, fully battery-powered models, ranging from sports cars to luxury sedans and full-size SUVs. In addition to their vehicles, NIO is also known for their significant progress achieved in innovative technology, including state-of-the-art battery solutions, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving. The company has also recently turned their global expansion plans into reality, with the first overseas NIO store to open in Oslo, Norway in Q3 2021. We believe that reaching a share price of $100 is no longer a question of “if”, but instead, “when”.\nA Trailblazer in Innovative Technology\nSource:ir.nio.com\nNIO has continuously exhibited characteristics of an unsettling innovator. The brand is widely known for their breakthrough in battery swapping technology, “Power Swap”, which provides NIO owners with a fast and convenient solution to concerns over the typically limited travel range of EVs. Similar to a gas station, Power Swap is a battery swapping station that can swap a dead battery out for a fully charged one in under three minutes; a fully charged battery enables a NIO vehicle to travel up to 435 miles, which is more than double of the 181-mile average travel range of electric vehicles currently available on the market. NIO owners have the option to subscribe to the“Battery as a Service” (“BaaS”)package, which is a monthly subscription service that provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal needs. The company currently offers a standard 75 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 310 miles on a full charge, and an enhanced 100 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 435 miles on a full charge; both are available for NIO owners to choose from on a month-to-month basis under BaaS. To date, there are more than 226 battery swapping stations across China, with more on the way following a recent strategic partnership agreement between NIO and Sinopec. NIO’s vehicles are also compatible with local competitor XPeng’s(NYSE:XPEV)1,140 vehicle charging stations available across 164 cities in China, which further enhances its existing network of charging infrastructure in place for NIO owners.\nIn addition to the developed network of infrastructure needed to sustain NIO EVs in the long run, the company has also been working diligently on perfecting their autonomous driving and AI technology in order to remain competitive in the broader EV and tech space. NIO has already been performing testing on its autonomous driving systems since 2016, with their first testing on public roads in Beijing performed in 2018. The company’s commitment to the future of passenger transportation is also proven through their development of EVE, the brand’s concept car for autonomous driving which encompasses a luxurious, comfortable and safe experience powered by NIO’s NOMI AI, the world’s first in-vehicle artificial intelligence.\nTo further enhance their progress in autonomous driving technology, NIO has recently partnered with Mobileye – an Intel-owned(NASDAQ:INTC)company known for developing the “EyeQ chip” currently used by more than 27 car manufacturers for their assisted-driving technologies – to develop and commercialize driving automation that does not require human interaction (i.e. “level 4” autonomous driving). Their collaboration is expected to accelerate NIO’s launch of the “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”) package, which is a monthly subscription for their autonomous driving technology, “NIO Autonomous Driving” (“NAD”). However, similar to Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” package, the NAD technology that is expected to launch in 2022 does not yet make NIO vehicles capable of driving without human intervention, but it does catapult NIO to a comparable spot with industry leader Tesla in the race towards level 4 autonomous driving. NIO owners will have the option to subscribe to ADaaS for a monthly subscription fee of RMB 680. With more than 102,000 NIO vehicles on the road today, the new subscription package is expected to generate incremental annual sales of RMB 840 million ($132 million); the additional revenue stream is valued at approximately RMB 10 billion ($1.6 billion) upon the service’s inception, assuming an average vehicle life of 12 years with most existing NIO owners signing up.\nNIO’s continuous developments in autonomous driving technology are expected to benefit the company and its shareholders greatly in the near future. By 2025, the global autonomous cars market will become one of the fastest growing and most highly demanded segments with an estimated value of $1.6 trillion. A 6% share of this market would add a valuation of at least $100 billion to NIO’s existing $67 billion market cap, boosting its per unit share value to more than $100. Considering NIO is currently one of the very few fully electric automakers to have achieved tangible results within the autonomous driving scene, and is actively growing its overseas sales, we are confident that the company is capable of capturing more than 6% of the said market share, and achieve a per unit share price of more than $100 by 2025 with ease. Combined with the global shift in consumer preference towards electrification and automation, we are projecting vehicle sales of approximately 300,000 units by FY 2025, which will yield total revenues of approximately RMB 140 billion ($22 billion).\nSource: Author, with data from our internal forecasts (NIO_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).\nGlobal Expansion\nSource: ir.nio.com\nAnother catalyst that will propel NIO’s share price beyond $100 is their ongoing overseas expansion efforts.

The potential threat of being delisted from the NYSE could be a deterrence factor to investors and ultimately hemorrhage NIO’s share price in the long run if Chinese authorities and the PCAOB cannot reach an agreement on conducting inspections soon.\nAnother imminent challenge to NIO’s business is the ongoing global chip supply shortage. As the automotive industry becomes more dependent on chips to manage every function of their vehicles, the gap between automaker demands and chip manufacturer supplies is widened. NIO was no exception to the impacts of the ongoing chip supply crisis – in March 2021, NIO halted their production activity at the JAC-NIO manufacturing plant for five working days in order to adjust their production levels. However, the company continues to effectively navigate through the situation as proven through their increasing number of deliveries month-over-month; in NIO’s latest delivery update press release for April, the company has continued to keep up with market demand with more than 7,100 vehicle deliveries made, representing a 125% year-over-year growth.\nCompetition within the EV sector has also ramped up in recent years. Consumer attitude towards EVs has changed drastically in the past decade due to rising concerns over climate change met with price parity between traditional petrol-fueled vehicles and EVs. The entry barrier for emerging EV makers has also lowered significantly as car battery solutions become more accessible through third-party OEMs; new entrants are now keener on participating in the profitable opportunity within the growing EV sector as initial investments become more reasonable than it was for Tesla in 2003 when EVs were still just a concept to many. In addition to new entrants, traditional petrol-fueled automakers like Ford(NYSE:F)have also started to incorporate fully battery-powered vehicles into their fleet in order to meet evolving consumer demands and remain competitive within the automotive industry. However, we believe NIO possesses the brand, customer experience, production strategy, talent and business model (further analyzedhere) needed to remain successful within the new competitive landscape in the long run.\nConclusion\nNIO has already established a strong brand presence within the domestic Chinese market, which is currently one of the fastest growing EV markets, representing more than 40% of global EV sales in 2020. Combined with their proven ability to produce quality EVs, construct innovative charging infrastructure, achieve breakthrough progress in the development of autonomous driving technology, and execute their overseas expansion strategy, NIO is effectively narrowing the gap between them and Tesla within the EV sector on a global scale. We are confident that the next five years will be a transformational era for the EV and tech company due to increasing demands for electrification and automation within the automotive industry, which NIO has already proven to excel in. The value of its continued achievements will be reflected in its share price in no time, making them a worthy stock pick for those looking to profit off of the impending age of green transition and automation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112019793,"gmtCreate":1622823708812,"gmtModify":1704192033789,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583915917451734","authorIdStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPCE\">$Virgin Galactic(SPCE)$</a>Come on SPCE.

How to Make Sense of the Move.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188552613","media":"Barrons","summary":"AMC Entertainment‘s skyrocketing stock price would be easy to dismiss as just meme-trade madness, th","content":"<p>AMC Entertainment‘s skyrocketing stock price would be easy to dismiss as just meme-trade madness, that social media-fueled investor frenzy that has launched the likes of&nbsp;GameStop&nbsp;and&nbsp;BlackBerry&nbsp;into speculative territory.</p>\n<p>But it’s possible that traditional investors have missed a fundamental change in the movie theater business—and it wouldn’t be the first time.</p>\n<p>Shares of AMC (ticker: AMC) surged 23% on Tuesday, closing at $32.04—just off an all-time high of $36.72 set in late May. That puts the movie-theater chain’s market capitalization at roughly $16 billion, more than 15 times what it was in 2018, a record-breaking year at the box office.&nbsp;Shares were up another 34%, to $42.92, in premarket trading Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Even if investors missed an inflection point, though, the math doesn’t add up. The reason might be that market cap isn’t the right measure. Maybe it’s enterprise value, which is essentially market cap and debt. AMC’s enterprise value is about $26 billion, compared with $6.2 billion or so at the end of 2018.</p>\n<p>AMC added debt during the pandemic as theaters in the country’s biggest cities were dark for months. And the numbers make it easy to understand why: The U.S. box office in 2020 generated about $2.1 billion in ticket sales, down 81% from the 2018 record of $11.9 billion.</p>\n<p>So, it seems investors have been vexed by movie theater economics. But it wouldn’t be the first time. The industry essentially went belly up at the turn of the millennium. Regal Cinemas, for instance, declared bankruptcy in 2001.</p>\n<p>Back then, the industry had plenty of capacity because of a new theater design—stadium seating that gave a better view of the screen. That shift meant movie theater chains had to renovate or risk losing all their patrons to movie theaters that offered the better view. In the end, too many seats and not enough patrons meant the return on the stadium-seating investments never materialized.</p>\n<p>The upshot was consolidation. With fewer operators, the number of screens stabilized. Between 2002 and 2007, Regal Cinemas became a cash-generating machine because the stock was mispriced. The stock returned 21% a year on average. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both returned less than 9% a year on average over the same period.</p>\n<p>In those days, Regal Cinema’s enterprise value about $5 billion, or about 50% of total U.S. box office sales. That’s far short of AMC today. Something new has to be different for AMC to be worth it.</p>\n<p>Maybe the movie theater business is going to go through another period of consolidation, which can usher in another golden age of returns. AMC’s Tuesday gains, in fact, were catalyzed by new capital raised so the company could go on the offensive, acquiring defunct chains. Monopolies, after all, can be good for stock returns.</p>\n<p>If AMC can increase market share and the U.S. box office sales can return to 2018 levels in a few years, total sales at might be $9 billion—$6 billion from tickets and $3 billion from concessions. Sales in 2018 amounted to $5.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Then, with better gross profit margins derived from larger scale, AMC might be able to generate $600 million in free cash flow annually, which puts the stock at about a 4% free cash flow yield. The S&amp;P 500 trades for about a 3% free cash flow yield. The numbers can work—if they’re stretched.</p>\n<p>There are problems with this scenario, though. There are lots of ifs and mights—and AMC has never generated cash flow like that in the past. Arriving at $600 million in free cash flow is more about justifying current valuations than predicting what is likely.</p>\n<p>Also, with mergers and acquisitions, AMC market shares might rise, but there are still competitors. Regal Cinemas is still out there, owned by Cineworld Holdings (CINE. London). So is Cinemark (CNK). There’s not a true monopoly.</p>\n<p>AMC and its peers have to deal with streaming, too. Windows for exclusive theater showings are shrinking. The pandemic has accelerated that. And if AMC gets too large and demanding for movie makers, the talent can always go to streaming faster, hurting box office sales.</p>\n<p>There is also the problem of the peer stocks. They aren’t trading like this is a brave new world for theaters. Cineworld stock is up 484% from its 52-week low, but shares are still off 72% from all-time highs. Cinemark shares are up 222% from their 52-week low. They are down 47% from their all-time high.</p>\n<p>AMC stock, again, is up almost 1,600% from its 52-week low and is down just 13% from its May all-time high.</p>\n<p>Wall Street just doesn’t see the potential either. Nine analysts cover the stock. The average analyst price target is about $5. Before the pandemic, the average analyst price target was $15. But there were fewer shares back then. The old target enterprise value was roughly $7 billion. It’s tough to get from $7 billion to $26 billion predicting better margins.</p>\n<p>Analysts do have positive free cash flow modeled, though–$13 million in 2022 and $90 million in 2023.

That puts the movie-theater chain’s market capitalization at roughly $16 billion, more than 15 times what it was in 2018, a record-breaking year at the box office. Shares were up another 34%, to $42.92, in premarket trading Wednesday.\nEven if investors missed an inflection point, though, the math doesn’t add up. The reason might be that market cap isn’t the right measure. Maybe it’s enterprise value, which is essentially market cap and debt. AMC’s enterprise value is about $26 billion, compared with $6.2 billion or so at the end of 2018.\nAMC added debt during the pandemic as theaters in the country’s biggest cities were dark for months. And the numbers make it easy to understand why: The U.S. box office in 2020 generated about $2.1 billion in ticket sales, down 81% from the 2018 record of $11.9 billion.\nSo, it seems investors have been vexed by movie theater economics. But it wouldn’t be the first time. The industry essentially went belly up at the turn of the millennium. Regal Cinemas, for instance, declared bankruptcy in 2001.\nBack then, the industry had plenty of capacity because of a new theater design—stadium seating that gave a better view of the screen. That shift meant movie theater chains had to renovate or risk losing all their patrons to movie theaters that offered the better view. In the end, too many seats and not enough patrons meant the return on the stadium-seating investments never materialized.\nThe upshot was consolidation. With fewer operators, the number of screens stabilized. Between 2002 and 2007, Regal Cinemas became a cash-generating machine because the stock was mispriced. The stock returned 21% a year on average. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both returned less than 9% a year on average over the same period.\nIn those days, Regal Cinema’s enterprise value about $5 billion, or about 50% of total U.S. box office sales. That’s far short of AMC today. Something new has to be different for AMC to be worth it.\nMaybe the movie theater business is going to go through another period of consolidation, which can usher in another golden age of returns. AMC’s Tuesday gains, in fact, were catalyzed by new capital raised so the company could go on the offensive, acquiring defunct chains. Monopolies, after all, can be good for stock returns.\nIf AMC can increase market share and the U.S. box office sales can return to 2018 levels in a few years, total sales at might be $9 billion—$6 billion from tickets and $3 billion from concessions. Sales in 2018 amounted to $5.5 billion.\nThen, with better gross profit margins derived from larger scale, AMC might be able to generate $600 million in free cash flow annually, which puts the stock at about a 4% free cash flow yield. The S&P 500 trades for about a 3% free cash flow yield. The numbers can work—if they’re stretched.\nThere are problems with this scenario, though. There are lots of ifs and mights—and AMC has never generated cash flow like that in the past. Arriving at $600 million in free cash flow is more about justifying current valuations than predicting what is likely.\nAlso, with mergers and acquisitions, AMC market shares might rise, but there are still competitors. Regal Cinemas is still out there, owned by Cineworld Holdings (CINE. London). So is Cinemark (CNK). There’s not a true monopoly.\nAMC and its peers have to deal with streaming, too. Windows for exclusive theater showings are shrinking. The pandemic has accelerated that. And if AMC gets too large and demanding for movie makers, the talent can always go to streaming faster, hurting box office sales.\nThere is also the problem of the peer stocks. They aren’t trading like this is a brave new world for theaters. Cineworld stock is up 484% from its 52-week low, but shares are still off 72% from all-time highs. Cinemark shares are up 222% from their 52-week low. They are down 47% from their all-time high.\nAMC stock, again, is up almost 1,600% from its 52-week low and is down just 13% from its May all-time high.\nWall Street just doesn’t see the potential either. Nine analysts cover the stock. The average analyst price target is about $5. Before the pandemic, the average analyst price target was $15. But there were fewer shares back then. The old target enterprise value was roughly $7 billion. It’s tough to get from $7 billion to $26 billion predicting better margins.\nAnalysts do have positive free cash flow modeled, though–$13 million in 2022 and $90 million in 2023. That’s a long way from $600 million.\nAnd that’s just another way of saying that AMC bulls are a long way from making the math work.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":345,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119680686,"gmtCreate":1622541680445,"gmtModify":1704185941079,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583915917451734","authorIdStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/119680686","repostId":"1143634909","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143634909","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622418963,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143634909?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-31 07:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These are Wall Street’s top analysts favorite stocks heading into June","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143634909","media":"CNBC","summary":"With May coming to a close, Wall Street analysts are fine tuning their recommendations as COVID-19 v","content":"<div>\n<p>With May coming to a close, Wall Street analysts are fine tuning their recommendations as COVID-19 vaccinations pave the way for further economic re-opening this summer.We used TipRanks analyst ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/30/wall-street-analysts-say-buy-stocks-deere-advanced-micro-devices.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

These are the analysts with the highest success rate and average return per rating, taking into consideration the number of ratings published by each analyst.Here are top Wall Street analysts' five favorite stocks heading into June:Advanced Micro DevicesNorthland Capital analyst Gus Richard says it's to infinity and beyond for Advanced Micro Devices. In line with this optimistic take, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and $116 price target.Richard believes that the semiconductor name will have a solid Q2, but argues the real question is whether PC demand will slow as the economy re-opens. According to the analyst, the answer is yes, but points out that $AMD(AMD)$’s “better products” are helping it to take market share from Intel.“One of the most difficult markets to penetrate is the corporate client. In CY19 Intel was short on 14nm capacity and late on 10nm and this limited its ability to meet demand opening the door for AMD in the corporate market. We estimate that AMD currently has a 5% to 7% share of the higher-margin corporate client market and expect its share to accelerate as corporations dual source,” Richard explained.Additionally, based on Intel’s recent results and the analyst’s industry checks, Intel has been focused on low-end Chromebooks, and “these dynamics bode well for a strong 2H for AMD in the client market,” in Richard’s opinion.With this in mind, Richard argues that over the next few years, AMD’s revenue share in the PC clients market will reach around 50%, from 20% currently. It also is in the second year of a game console product cycle, which the analyst believes could lead to an improvement in gross margins for this segment.It should also be noted thatAMDhas an advantage in the x86 server space. “We believe leadership in the x86 market is driven primarily by process technology and to a lesser extent design differentiation. INTC is chasing government money to build foundries in the US putting it into competition with TSMC. While INTC has struck a longterm supply agreement with TSMC they are also becoming a competitor to TSMC. It is in TSMC’s best interest to favor AMD over INTC as it will get all of AMD’s lead edge logic business,” Richard commented.Landing a top 40 spot on TipRanks’ list of best-performing analysts, Richard boasts a 71% success rate and 33.8% average return per rating.AmedisysOperating in the healthcare services space,Amedisys offers home healthcare (HH), hospice services and disease management programs.According to Oppenheimer’s Michael Wiederhorn, the company’s “growth story remains on track,” prompting the analyst to maintain a Buy rating. In addition, he left the $325 price target as is.“We hosted meetings with Amedisys and believe the company remains well-positioned for growth in the post-pandemic era, driven by organic opportunities as it bulks up its BD staff and leverages opportunities to further penetrate existing markets with its sizable hospice platform, which included ~$600 million in acquired hospice revenues,” Wiederhorn noted.Across both of its main segments, trends have been bouncing back, with elective procedures moving toward 100% of baseline. As for the hospice business,Amedisys’ primary focus is on admissions, but Wiederhorn points out that LOS issues might have normalized.Some investors have expressed concern about labor inflation, but Wiederhorn doesn’t see this as a significant issue. The analyst tells investors that “despite the ongoing noise in the marketplace,” labor inflation is under control and management is watching the wage environment.“Amedisys has continued to generate low turnover rates (15%) that are well below the market and historical levels (40%) due in large part to its predictive analytics that identify vulnerable employees,” Wiederhorn added.When it comes to M&A, the company is “optimistic on the longer-term upside from home health M&A, as the myriad of pandemic-related benefits, including sequestration, payroll tax, Medicare accelerated payments, CARES Act money and the RAP impact, are set to expire,” says Wiederhorn. He also points out that Amedisys has made a significant effort to establish partnerships which “leverage its high quality scores.”“The company spoke positively regarding its SNF @ Home Partnership with Sound Physicians, which deploys some form of capitation, while its Fresenius dialysis partnership has partial capitation,” Wiederhorn stated.Thanks to his 76% success rate and 23.6% average return per rating, Wiederhorn is ranked #34 out of over 7,000 analysts tracked by TipRanks.DeereEven though Deere bumped up its outlook for 2021, Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann thinks these estimates “could prove conservative.” With this in mind, the top analyst reiterated a Buy rating. In addition, he gave the price target a lift, with the figure moving from $400 to $450.When trying to call Deere’s next peak, it is “complicated,” in Volkmann’s opinion. “First, management’s commentary around the cycle – both Large and Small Ag business at roughly 110-115% of mid-cycle – excludes the last supercycle and therefore undercounts the potential. Second, we estimate overall ASPs have increased 40-50% since the 2013 peak through a combination of emissions regulations, increased technology content, and normal inflation,” the analyst explained.So, what’s the bottom line? Volkmann estimates that the total potential revenue is $55 billion, and at 20% EBIT margin, this amounts to $30 in earnings power, not including additional capital employment.According to the management team at Deere, for 2021, consolidated sales are set to rise 23.5%-28.5% (compared to the previous 16%-25% estimate), with this factoring in FX and pricing tailwinds.Volkmann points out that although the company is benefitting from commodity price inflation, management has warned about a $750 million freight/logistics and material costs headwind for the rest of this year. In addition, given that the 2021 order book is filled, it might be hard for Deere to cover additional increases. That being said, the analyst argues “pricing was the standout message of the quarter, adding roughly 6 percentage points to F1H growth and 5-plus points to the full-year outlook.”What’s more, Deere is evaluating additional structural changes, with this potentially including overseas footprint consolidations and closures. Its key priorities are to streamline the organizational structure, make “more focused capital allocation decisions geared toward the higher-growth, higher-margin portion of the portfolio,” expand the aftermarket opportunity and increase Wirtgen synergies.Volkmann lands a top 100 ranking as a result of his 74% success rate and 25.8% average return per rating.ZscalerCalling Zscaler’s latest quarterly performance “another jaw dropper,” Wedbush’s Daniel Ives remains very much with the bulls. To this end, the analyst kept a Buy rating and $240 price target on the cloud-based information security company.Looking at the print, billings gained 71% and surpassed the consensus estimate by 20%-plus, with Ives noting its “clear that the zero trust shift is hitting another gear of growth with ZS leading the charge.”Expounding on this, Ives stated, “While the bears and skeptics on ZS threw the company in the ‘WFH growth tailing off crew’ over the last few months, we continue to view this is a zero trust cloud transformation name that will see massive growth prospects for the foreseeable future as the company is essentially the only game in town on enterprise scale zero trust cyber security deployments.”Arguing that Zscaleris in the “drivers seat” when it comes to the cloud cyber security shift over the next ten years, Ives believes that the current IT landscape has ramped up the company’s ability to capitalize on the opportunity.“In our opinion, ZS is the best pure play in the cloud security arena, which we believe is still in the very early innings of taking off with overall hybrid cloud workloads poised to meaningfully accelerate over the coming years and in this climate could see some strategic deals moved forward as the shift to cloud outside the firewall is catalyzing a handful of key sales cycles,” Ives commented.According to the Wedbush analyst, the need to secure applications, data and consumers outside the firewall highlight the huge total addressable market.Summing it all up, Ives said, “To this point given last night’s results and our increased confidence in the ZS story, we believe a further re-rating is still in the cards over the next 12 to 18 months.”Ives’ stellar track record speaks for itself. The #73 rated analyst has delivered a 68% success rate and 30.4% average return per rating.AtriCureAtriCure has developed a portfolio of products for the surgical ablation of cardiac tissue to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in concomitant and stand-alone procedures.For BTIG analyst Marie Thibault, there are multiple reasons to be bullish on AtriCure’s long-term growth prospects. Bearing this in mind, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and a $76 price target.Recently, Thibault hosted a call with Dr. Michael Panutich, a cardiac electrophysiologist (EP) at the Hoag Heart & Vascular Institute, who has been performing the hybrid Convergent procedure, which involves endocardial catheter ablation and epicardial ablation using AtriCure’s EPi-Sense Coagulation Device, since 2017. Given that the FDA has approved the EPi-Sense device in long-standing persistent AF, Dr. Panutich believes that the number of hospitals adopting and marketing the procedure will grow.On top of this, Thibault points out that the FDA approval could make it easier to secure reimbursement, as “fewer insurers will be able to push back on the treatment as being ‘experimental’ or require a failed ablation first.”“This discussion left us with the impression that ATRC’s minimally invasive franchise is poised for robust growth, that careful training will be key to continued success with the Convergent procedure, and that the AF field will continue to be a source of clinical progress,” Thibault commented.What else is driving Thibault’s confidence? The analyst highlights the ongoing momentum for AtriClip, AtriCure’s product designed for use in the occlusion of the left atrial appendage, one of the most common sources of stroke. She is also expecting to see new verticals like cryoablation contribute to revenue generation.Thibault sports an impressive 65.8% average return per rating, helping her to earn a #127 ranking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":429,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":110312761,"gmtCreate":1622425348353,"gmtModify":1704184161551,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583915917451734","authorIdStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/110312761","repostId":"2139438981","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2139438981","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1622423066,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2139438981?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-31 09:04","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin is headed toward its worst month since 2011; 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' author says that's 'great news'","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2139438981","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Rough month provides a buying opportunity, Robert Kiyosaki says.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings.

The currency has also gained amid abroader bout of dollar weakness.</p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the offshore yuan strengthened below 6.4 per dollar, as Chinese stocks jumped thanks partly to a surge in foreign buying.</p>\n<p>Beijing would want to see slower yuan appreciationto support the economy, which is still fairly dependent on selling goods abroad, said Alvin Tan, head of Asia foreign-exchange strategy at RBC Capital Markets. While Chinese exports have surged since last year,a rallying yuan pressures exportersby making their goods more expensive when priced in dollars.</p>\n<p>Mr. Tan said the People’s Bank of China had been “leaning against the strength” of the currency by setting weaker-than-expected reference rates for onshore yuan trading for the past month.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7ef4ee3cc184ea84391adcdbe43b304\" tg-width=\"321\" tg-height=\"428\">The central bank fixes a daily midpoint for the onshore yuan, and only allows trading up to 2 percentage points above or below this level. This is part of a so-called managed floating-exchange-rate system based on the yuan’s value against a basket of currencies.</p>\n<p>The yuan is likely to stay between 6.4 and 6.5 to a dollar, while further appreciation could prompt stronger central bank action, said Paul Sandhu, head of multiasset quant solutions for Asia-Pacific at BNP Paribas Asset Management.</p>\n<p>“The government is quite happy with the range it is sitting at. If it breaks 6.4 and stays there for some time, they may move in to do something,” Mr. Sandhu said.</p>\n<p>On Tuesday in Hong Kong, the offshore yuan rallied about 0.2% to 6.3988 to the dollar, a level last hit in June 2018.

The currency has also gained amid abroader bout of dollar weakness.\nOn Tuesday, the offshore yuan strengthened below 6.4 per dollar, as Chinese stocks jumped thanks partly to a surge in foreign buying.\nBeijing would want to see slower yuan appreciationto support the economy, which is still fairly dependent on selling goods abroad, said Alvin Tan, head of Asia foreign-exchange strategy at RBC Capital Markets. While Chinese exports have surged since last year,a rallying yuan pressures exportersby making their goods more expensive when priced in dollars.\nMr. Tan said the People’s Bank of China had been “leaning against the strength” of the currency by setting weaker-than-expected reference rates for onshore yuan trading for the past month.\nThe central bank fixes a daily midpoint for the onshore yuan, and only allows trading up to 2 percentage points above or below this level. This is part of a so-called managed floating-exchange-rate system based on the yuan’s value against a basket of currencies.\nThe yuan is likely to stay between 6.4 and 6.5 to a dollar, while further appreciation could prompt stronger central bank action, said Paul Sandhu, head of multiasset quant solutions for Asia-Pacific at BNP Paribas Asset Management.\n“The government is quite happy with the range it is sitting at. If it breaks 6.4 and stays there for some time, they may move in to do something,” Mr. Sandhu said.\nOn Tuesday in Hong Kong, the offshore yuan rallied about 0.2% to 6.3988 to the dollar, a level last hit in June 2018. The dollar weakened, with theICEU.S. Dollar Index declining nearly 0.3% to 89.61, its lowest since early January.\nChina’s CSI 300 index, a gauge of the biggest shares listed in either Shanghai or Shenzhen, jumped 3.2%. Net foreign buying of mainland Chinese shares through Stock Connect, a trading link with Hong Kong, hit a record daily high of 21.7 billion yuan, or the equivalent of $3.4 billion.\nTuesday’s yuan strength was also likely due in part to the coming month-end, before which exporters normally sell earnings in foreign currency to buy yuan, said Khoon Goh, head of Asia research atAustralia and New Zealand Banking GroupLtd.in Singapore.\nThe central bank is eager to promote the idea that the currency won’t be volatile, but that it also won’t be a one-way bet for investors.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.</p>\n<p>\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"</p>\n<p>Let's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2da7d6438277757a73f9e626ebc6fc2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p>\n<p>Considering that Buffett already has a huge position in <b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b>, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.</p>\n<h2>3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again</h2>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in <b>PNC Financial Services Group</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>, in the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.\n\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"\nLet's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo\nEveryone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.\nThis essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at one point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.\nBut as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.\nThe stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.\n2. Dumping Synchrony Financial\nLast quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.\nWhile I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, Bank of America.\nConsidering that Buffett already has a huge position in American Express, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.\n3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again\nBerkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in PNC Financial Services Group and M&T Bank, in the fourth quarter of 2020. \nOne possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. \nOverall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130730638,"gmtCreate":1621564452124,"gmtModify":1704359753036,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583915917451734","authorIdStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/130730638","repostId":"2137763179","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137763179","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":1621544173,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137763179?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 04:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends to snap 3-day losing streak as technology stocks rise higher","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137763179","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 20 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes rebounded on Thursday after a three-day slide, buoyed ","content":"<p>May 20 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes rebounded on Thursday after a three-day slide, buoyed by gains in technology stocks as the smallest weekly jobless claims since the start of a pandemic-driven recession lifted the mood.</p><p>Bitcoin clawed back some lost ground to trade near $40,000 a day after a brutal selloff, helping renew appetite for risk.

The company is undoubtedly a leading player in e-signature solutions, in a market that looks to be still very much in its early stages. However, a narrow moat, facing a very strong competitor and a still expensive price should discourage investors to add the stock now.</p>\n<p><b>Company Overview</b></p>\n<p>DocuSign is the world leader in e-signature solutions with a&nbsp;market share exceeding 74%.</p>\n<p>The company operates a software platform called the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, which helps customers to automate their end-to-end agreement process digitally: Prepare, sign, act, manage, in which the flagship e-signature platform is an important part of. DOCU&nbsp;believes&nbsp;that currently the Agreement Cloud is the only platform in the market that can perform the end-to-end integration of the agreement process.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34da817c635be30cf0373974497ab639\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"666\"><span>DOCU Agreement Cloud. Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021</span></p>\n<p>Therefore, DOCU believes the Agreement Cloud is the company’s unique selling point, a software category in which DOCU created, allowing the company to have a clear first mover advantage over its key competitors, leveraging on its huge market share leadership in e-signature to land-and-expand to the other services within the Agreement Cloud. DOCU believes that every business is a potential customer: “We believe everybody is going to have an Agreement Cloud. Doesn't matter if you're an enterprise customer or a small business. It's just a matter of time.” (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)</p>\n<p>Currently, the company has about 890,000 customers in the U.S., of which 250,000 are enterprise and commercial customers served by its direct sales teams, and the rest of the very small businesses (VSBs) on the low-touch self-service digital channel. DOCU’s current market penetration rate is still in the low single digits, giving DOCU huge potential to grow and expand its product adoption to the rest of the market.</p>\n<p>DOCU believes that its product has immense brand recognition and global reach, as its e-signature product recorded close to 1 billion signers globally, thus providing the company wide access to potential leads who have already used the product.</p>\n<p>One of the key advantages of its e-signature product is its&nbsp;“unmatched integration”&nbsp;with its customers’ existing platforms and applications offered by major providers such as Google (GOOGL,GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL),Salesforce (CRM),SAPand Workday(WDAY), among others. In fact, the company has over 350 pre-built integrations, giving its flagship product a huge competitive advantage over even its closest competitor such as Adobe Sign (ADBE). (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)</p>\n<p>Even though the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a strong tailwind driving the company’s growth for FY 21, DOCU strongly believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has merely accelerated the digital transformation journey of the agreements process that had already begun well before the pandemic hit. Therefore, the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s business moving forward remains well intact.</p>\n<p><b>Financials</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80d22be64355c23b853f54b3aada0a81\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"188\"><span>DOCU’s Revenue Growth YoY. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Investors can clearly observe that the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s high revenue growth rates had begun well before COVID-19 hit, even though the pandemic provided a strong tailwind for the company as it registered a 49.2% YoY revenue growth for FY 21.</p>\n<p>U.S. revenue accounted for 80% of FY 21 revenue, while international revenue accounted for 20%. Subscriptions accounted for 95% of the revenue base, with a significant majority of the revenue attributed to the flagship e-signature product, even though the exact figures were not disclosed.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/027221068efbee7d0a085b063871aadc\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"210\"><span>DOCU’s Gross Margin. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Gross margins have also been fairly consistent and came in at 75.4% (Non-GAAP 79%) for FY 21. This clearly shows that DOCU’s e-signature product has considerable pricing power, and unlikely to be a near term concern. The company is also not expecting any significant competitive threat as it also guided towards a long term Non-GAAP gross margin profile of between 79% and 82%, largely in line with FY 21 results.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13a36ca94cebc50b2c7c37997f0e9dc6\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"507\"><span>DOCU’s OPEX. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Since the company relies mainly on its direct sales teams for the enterprise and commercial revenue segment, which formed about 88% of FY 21 revenue, investors should not be surprised to see a large component attributed to Sales and Marketing spend. What’s of concern though is the size of DOCU’s sales and marketing spend, which has been consistently high, from 53.6% to 77% of revenue between FY 17 to FY 21. FY 21’s spend came in at the lower end of the range at 55% of revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a024dd596ff954501165681cc4bc6ebb\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"146\"><span>ZM’s Sales &amp; Marketing Spend. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>A quick glance over toZM, which also relies mainly on its direct sales teams to drive revenue shows that such high sales and marketing spend is not an anomaly (see chart above), and is rather characteristic of the company’s choice of channel distribution. Nevertheless, it would still be important to achieve efficiencies in this area, and it would be a major concern if the spend in future years edged up towards the high seen in FY 19. However, the company guided towards a lower percentage of sales and marketing spend in future FYs, and it would be an important area for investors to continue monitoring moving forward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b7a454f9d5ea465fd593c031e2661266\" tg-width=\"998\" tg-height=\"544\"><span>DOCU’s OPEX trend. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>What’s useful for investors to note though is that the company’s operating efficiencies has since improved since FY 19, and DOCU guided for further improvement moving forward, aiming for a long-term Non-GAAP OPEX of between 56% to 64% of revenue. FY 21’s OPEX was 89% of revenue while Non-GAAP OPEX was 67% of revenue. Given the large differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP measures, investors may wish to consider the reconciliation (see table below).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62ee12b0e5378de55e5f86777f475a3c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"339\"><span>DOCU’s Operating Profit reconciliation. Source: DOCU 10-K</span></p>\n<p>While investors may continue to use Non-GAAP measures to evaluate the company’s core operating performance against the management’s long term Non-GAAP guidance, I would prefer to keep the analysis using GAAP measures for DOCU, especially since some of the expenses excluded from their operating performance seem fairly large and recurring.</p>\n<p>As a result, it may also be useful to note that DOCU has yet to turn an operating profit even though their operating loss has significantly narrowed since 2019 to -14.2% for FY 21.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a95db8c12ad0929877e6adea66db9c9\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"640\"><span>DOCU’s FCF margin. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Despite that, DOCU has done well on its FCF profile, as its FCF margin improved to 14.8% in FY 21. One issue I have with DOCU’s FCF is that it’s very heavily reliant on stock-based compensation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beeb5dd4209f64adb3ff942ebf4d2376\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"678\"><span>DOCU’s CFO. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>I would prefer to see its CFO well balanced between core operating activities, and non-cash operating expenses. In this case, investors can see the skewed contribution from non-cash operating expenses, especially stock-based compensation on its CFO. For FY 21, stock-based compensation was $286.9M while CFO was $297M. Stock-based compensation was also considerably large in the previous FYs when compared with its CFO.</p>\n<p>For FY 22, DOCU guided towards $1.96B to $1.97B in revenue, which represents an expected 34.9% to 35.6% YoY growth (see below).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c1892110e6d19c887d1f8ae5a74719ae\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"242\"><span>DOCU Revenue Guidance.

Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p><b>Key Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p>With such high expectations from the sell-side, and the company, investors should closely analyse DOCU’s key sources of future growth, in order to determine the visibility of the growth profile moving forward.</p>\n<p>DOCU believes that it operates within an enlarged TAM of $50B, of which $26B is made up of its e-signature product, and rest from the other solutions within the Agreement Cloud. Importantly, the company believes the majority of its TAM lies outside of the U.S.. Therefore, the company’s growth strategies towards capturing the growth in international markets would be of key importance, especially since the current penetration rate is lower than that of the U.S. market.</p>\n<p>With DOCU’s FY 21 revenue of $1.453B, investors may conclude that the company is still in the very early stages of capturing their TAM, and should continue to expect the company to show consistently high revenue growth rates moving forward. Any unexpected slowdown should be carefully investigated.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/590aacfa313e4676ad2ae0075ae4db6b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"700\"><span>DOCU’s TAM.

Source: Atom Finance</span></p>\n<p>DOCU’s DBNRR of 123%, while fairly high, is in line with the median DBNRR of its SaaS peers. In the near term, I expect DOCU’s DBNRR to be driven mainly by the expansion of use cases of its e-signature product within its current customer base. The company highlighted that although “Our largest and most advanced customers have hundreds of use cases deployed, but the vast majority of our customers have only deployed a few use cases.” Therefore the company expects a high potential for significant expansion of use cases within their customer base, especially for their enterprise and commercial customers. (Source DOCU 10-K). Since the company’s revenue is largely driven by its e-signature flagship, I would expect this to be of high importance to continuing driving DOCU’s DBNRR while the company continues to encourage further adoption of its other services within the Agreement Cloud.</p>\n<p>In the other solutions of the Agreement Cloud space, DOCU is particularly bullish on the Contract Lifecycle Management+ (CLM+) solution to drive its growth further. CLM+ “combines the three preceding products—CLM, Insight, and Analyzer—to provide AI-driven contract lifecycle management. The integration among the three products allows, for example, a contract to automatically be routed for review based on its risk score.” (Source: DOCU 10-K)</p>\n<p>Unilever, who is one of DOCU’s customers, also shared that the company found the CLM+ product to be a great productivity booster with its power data-driven analytics capability. DOCU also expects CLM+ to be a driver in revenue growth for FY 22, so investors should continue to pay attention to the performance of this product.</p>\n<p>Since the majority of DOCU’s TAM is international as explained earlier, investors should continue to monitor the company’s progress outside the U.S. Since International revenue accounted for 20% of FY 21 revenue, there’s substantial opportunities for growth. Although DOCU need to navigate the intricate country-specific or region-specific, language and legal requirements for its international expansion, the company emphasized that it has been working to “fine tune” those requirements with various third party providers, and don’t see them as major impediments to the company’s important global expansion plans. Prior to COVID-19, the main issue among its international opportunities was brand awareness. However, the pandemic has helped to significantly drive increased interest among customers in the international markets to seek solutions from DOCU to automate their agreements process. Therefore, DOCU should leverage on the strong brand momentum now to drive the growth in its global footprint. (Source: DOCU 10-K)</p>\n<p>One area of clear revenue visibility for DOCU is its RPOs. For FY 22, the company expects to recognize about 52% of its RPOs of $1.1B, which would translate to about $572M. This represents about 29% of the company’s FY 22 guidance. Investors should continue to monitor the company’s RPOs to evaluate the health of the company’s forward revenue visibility.</p>\n<p><b>Key Risks</b></p>\n<p>One of DOCU’s main competitors is none other than ADBE with its Adobe Sign product. Although DOCU is the clear leader in the e-signatures segment in terms of market share, Adobe Sign has also made significant progress, albeit from a lower base in the latest quarter,as it grew its revenue more than 50% YoY.</p>\n<p>ADBE is a software behemoth with clear leadership positions in many applications and possesses a huge competitive advantage, as it offers many integration tools as well for its customers. One of DOCU’s key differentiators is the 350 pre-built integrations for its e-signature product, which was also highlighted by one of its customers; Snowflake. However, ADBE emphasized that the company has also been making good progress in this area, which I believe may further erode DOCU’s key value proposition. ADBE emphasized the superiority of its PDF as its additional key differentiator:“the fact that PDF as a format continues to be the format that people are using for automating these workflows, I think the fact that we have Adobe Reader, which is the operating environment in which all of these workflows are happening.”</p>\n<p>ADBE also reminded investors not to take their PDF dominance lightly. The company compared DOCU’s contracts integration to ADBE’S PDF integration:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Imagine the total global number of PDF documents that exist in the world, billions, if not trillions. Imagine the market share of those documents that are contracts. We don't know -- I don't know what that number is, but everybody can sort of imagine that's -- the contracts are where DocuSign's business is really focused. But the entire rest of that pie is where we're focused. We're not -- it's not just about contracts. It's about every single type of presentation, every single type of PowerPoint deck, every single type of inter-office memo, all of those documents that teams collaborate on and need to store, take different actions on, we're trying to address that. It's a massive market opportunity. And we're really the only technology in the world that exists for -- that's really just thinking about teams being able to do every type of action they want to on those documents. (Source: Morgan Stanley Conference 18 May 21)\n</blockquote>\n<p>In addition, ADBE also highlighted a much smaller TAM of $10B in the e-signature space, as compared with DOCU’s $25B. I find it hard to reconcile such a vast difference between these two leading e-signature players, although ADBE agreed with DOCU that the e-signatures space is still very much in its infancy, and offers tremendous opportunities for the 2 leading enterprise players to grow.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, even though DOCU is the current leader in the e-signatures space in terms of market share, ADBE’s leadership in many other products, and its PDF dominance give ADBE an extremely wide moat, and a real competitor to challenge DOCU. I would be hard pressed to assign a wide moat to DOCU, and find the company probably deserves a narrow moat at best.</p>\n<p><b>Valuations</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eae14455bf0889d8e60ca8871f341f1a\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"363\"><span>EV / Fwd Rev.

As of now, I’m still monitoring for an optimal buy entry point.</p>\n<p>Investors who are still biding their time for a long term position should note that there’s no apparent support level below $185, besides $65.

The company is undoubtedly a leading player in e-signature solutions, in a market that looks to be still very much in its early stages. However, a narrow moat, facing a very strong competitor and a still expensive price should discourage investors to add the stock now.\nCompany Overview\nDocuSign is the world leader in e-signature solutions with a market share exceeding 74%.\nThe company operates a software platform called the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, which helps customers to automate their end-to-end agreement process digitally: Prepare, sign, act, manage, in which the flagship e-signature platform is an important part of. DOCU believes that currently the Agreement Cloud is the only platform in the market that can perform the end-to-end integration of the agreement process.\nDOCU Agreement Cloud. Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021\nTherefore, DOCU believes the Agreement Cloud is the company’s unique selling point, a software category in which DOCU created, allowing the company to have a clear first mover advantage over its key competitors, leveraging on its huge market share leadership in e-signature to land-and-expand to the other services within the Agreement Cloud. DOCU believes that every business is a potential customer: “We believe everybody is going to have an Agreement Cloud. Doesn't matter if you're an enterprise customer or a small business. It's just a matter of time.” (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)\nCurrently, the company has about 890,000 customers in the U.S., of which 250,000 are enterprise and commercial customers served by its direct sales teams, and the rest of the very small businesses (VSBs) on the low-touch self-service digital channel. DOCU’s current market penetration rate is still in the low single digits, giving DOCU huge potential to grow and expand its product adoption to the rest of the market.\nDOCU believes that its product has immense brand recognition and global reach, as its e-signature product recorded close to 1 billion signers globally, thus providing the company wide access to potential leads who have already used the product.\nOne of the key advantages of its e-signature product is its “unmatched integration” with its customers’ existing platforms and applications offered by major providers such as Google (GOOGL,GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL),Salesforce (CRM),SAPand Workday(WDAY), among others. In fact, the company has over 350 pre-built integrations, giving its flagship product a huge competitive advantage over even its closest competitor such as Adobe Sign (ADBE). (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)\nEven though the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a strong tailwind driving the company’s growth for FY 21, DOCU strongly believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has merely accelerated the digital transformation journey of the agreements process that had already begun well before the pandemic hit. Therefore, the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s business moving forward remains well intact.\nFinancials\nDOCU’s Revenue Growth YoY. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nInvestors can clearly observe that the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s high revenue growth rates had begun well before COVID-19 hit, even though the pandemic provided a strong tailwind for the company as it registered a 49.2% YoY revenue growth for FY 21.\nU.S. revenue accounted for 80% of FY 21 revenue, while international revenue accounted for 20%. Subscriptions accounted for 95% of the revenue base, with a significant majority of the revenue attributed to the flagship e-signature product, even though the exact figures were not disclosed.\nDOCU’s Gross Margin. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nGross margins have also been fairly consistent and came in at 75.4% (Non-GAAP 79%) for FY 21. This clearly shows that DOCU’s e-signature product has considerable pricing power, and unlikely to be a near term concern. The company is also not expecting any significant competitive threat as it also guided towards a long term Non-GAAP gross margin profile of between 79% and 82%, largely in line with FY 21 results.\nDOCU’s OPEX. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nSince the company relies mainly on its direct sales teams for the enterprise and commercial revenue segment, which formed about 88% of FY 21 revenue, investors should not be surprised to see a large component attributed to Sales and Marketing spend. What’s of concern though is the size of DOCU’s sales and marketing spend, which has been consistently high, from 53.6% to 77% of revenue between FY 17 to FY 21. FY 21’s spend came in at the lower end of the range at 55% of revenue.\nZM’s Sales & Marketing Spend. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nA quick glance over toZM, which also relies mainly on its direct sales teams to drive revenue shows that such high sales and marketing spend is not an anomaly (see chart above), and is rather characteristic of the company’s choice of channel distribution. Nevertheless, it would still be important to achieve efficiencies in this area, and it would be a major concern if the spend in future years edged up towards the high seen in FY 19. However, the company guided towards a lower percentage of sales and marketing spend in future FYs, and it would be an important area for investors to continue monitoring moving forward.\nDOCU’s OPEX trend. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nWhat’s useful for investors to note though is that the company’s operating efficiencies has since improved since FY 19, and DOCU guided for further improvement moving forward, aiming for a long-term Non-GAAP OPEX of between 56% to 64% of revenue. FY 21’s OPEX was 89% of revenue while Non-GAAP OPEX was 67% of revenue. Given the large differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP measures, investors may wish to consider the reconciliation (see table below).\nDOCU’s Operating Profit reconciliation. Source: DOCU 10-K\nWhile investors may continue to use Non-GAAP measures to evaluate the company’s core operating performance against the management’s long term Non-GAAP guidance, I would prefer to keep the analysis using GAAP measures for DOCU, especially since some of the expenses excluded from their operating performance seem fairly large and recurring.\nAs a result, it may also be useful to note that DOCU has yet to turn an operating profit even though their operating loss has significantly narrowed since 2019 to -14.2% for FY 21.\nDOCU’s FCF margin. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nDespite that, DOCU has done well on its FCF profile, as its FCF margin improved to 14.8% in FY 21. One issue I have with DOCU’s FCF is that it’s very heavily reliant on stock-based compensation.\nDOCU’s CFO. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nI would prefer to see its CFO well balanced between core operating activities, and non-cash operating expenses. In this case, investors can see the skewed contribution from non-cash operating expenses, especially stock-based compensation on its CFO. For FY 21, stock-based compensation was $286.9M while CFO was $297M. Stock-based compensation was also considerably large in the previous FYs when compared with its CFO.\nFor FY 22, DOCU guided towards $1.96B to $1.97B in revenue, which represents an expected 34.9% to 35.6% YoY growth (see below).\nDOCU Revenue Guidance. Source: ATOM Finance\nWall Street’s consensus are leading towards the high end of the guidance, and the expectations for high forward revenue growth in the next few FYs for DOCU remain strong.\nDOCU Wall Street mean estimates for Revenue Growth. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nKey Growth Drivers\nWith such high expectations from the sell-side, and the company, investors should closely analyse DOCU’s key sources of future growth, in order to determine the visibility of the growth profile moving forward.\nDOCU believes that it operates within an enlarged TAM of $50B, of which $26B is made up of its e-signature product, and rest from the other solutions within the Agreement Cloud. Importantly, the company believes the majority of its TAM lies outside of the U.S.. Therefore, the company’s growth strategies towards capturing the growth in international markets would be of key importance, especially since the current penetration rate is lower than that of the U.S. market.\nWith DOCU’s FY 21 revenue of $1.453B, investors may conclude that the company is still in the very early stages of capturing their TAM, and should continue to expect the company to show consistently high revenue growth rates moving forward. Any unexpected slowdown should be carefully investigated.\nDOCU’s TAM. Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021\nSaaS DBNRR. Source: Atom Finance\nDOCU’s DBNRR of 123%, while fairly high, is in line with the median DBNRR of its SaaS peers. In the near term, I expect DOCU’s DBNRR to be driven mainly by the expansion of use cases of its e-signature product within its current customer base. The company highlighted that although “Our largest and most advanced customers have hundreds of use cases deployed, but the vast majority of our customers have only deployed a few use cases.” Therefore the company expects a high potential for significant expansion of use cases within their customer base, especially for their enterprise and commercial customers. (Source DOCU 10-K). Since the company’s revenue is largely driven by its e-signature flagship, I would expect this to be of high importance to continuing driving DOCU’s DBNRR while the company continues to encourage further adoption of its other services within the Agreement Cloud.\nIn the other solutions of the Agreement Cloud space, DOCU is particularly bullish on the Contract Lifecycle Management+ (CLM+) solution to drive its growth further. CLM+ “combines the three preceding products—CLM, Insight, and Analyzer—to provide AI-driven contract lifecycle management. The integration among the three products allows, for example, a contract to automatically be routed for review based on its risk score.” (Source: DOCU 10-K)\nUnilever, who is one of DOCU’s customers, also shared that the company found the CLM+ product to be a great productivity booster with its power data-driven analytics capability. DOCU also expects CLM+ to be a driver in revenue growth for FY 22, so investors should continue to pay attention to the performance of this product.\nSince the majority of DOCU’s TAM is international as explained earlier, investors should continue to monitor the company’s progress outside the U.S. Since International revenue accounted for 20% of FY 21 revenue, there’s substantial opportunities for growth. Although DOCU need to navigate the intricate country-specific or region-specific, language and legal requirements for its international expansion, the company emphasized that it has been working to “fine tune” those requirements with various third party providers, and don’t see them as major impediments to the company’s important global expansion plans. Prior to COVID-19, the main issue among its international opportunities was brand awareness. However, the pandemic has helped to significantly drive increased interest among customers in the international markets to seek solutions from DOCU to automate their agreements process. Therefore, DOCU should leverage on the strong brand momentum now to drive the growth in its global footprint. (Source: DOCU 10-K)\nOne area of clear revenue visibility for DOCU is its RPOs. For FY 22, the company expects to recognize about 52% of its RPOs of $1.1B, which would translate to about $572M. This represents about 29% of the company’s FY 22 guidance. Investors should continue to monitor the company’s RPOs to evaluate the health of the company’s forward revenue visibility.\nKey Risks\nOne of DOCU’s main competitors is none other than ADBE with its Adobe Sign product. Although DOCU is the clear leader in the e-signatures segment in terms of market share, Adobe Sign has also made significant progress, albeit from a lower base in the latest quarter,as it grew its revenue more than 50% YoY.\nADBE is a software behemoth with clear leadership positions in many applications and possesses a huge competitive advantage, as it offers many integration tools as well for its customers. One of DOCU’s key differentiators is the 350 pre-built integrations for its e-signature product, which was also highlighted by one of its customers; Snowflake. However, ADBE emphasized that the company has also been making good progress in this area, which I believe may further erode DOCU’s key value proposition. ADBE emphasized the superiority of its PDF as its additional key differentiator:“the fact that PDF as a format continues to be the format that people are using for automating these workflows, I think the fact that we have Adobe Reader, which is the operating environment in which all of these workflows are happening.”\nADBE also reminded investors not to take their PDF dominance lightly. The company compared DOCU’s contracts integration to ADBE’S PDF integration:\n\n Imagine the total global number of PDF documents that exist in the world, billions, if not trillions. Imagine the market share of those documents that are contracts. We don't know -- I don't know what that number is, but everybody can sort of imagine that's -- the contracts are where DocuSign's business is really focused. But the entire rest of that pie is where we're focused. We're not -- it's not just about contracts. It's about every single type of presentation, every single type of PowerPoint deck, every single type of inter-office memo, all of those documents that teams collaborate on and need to store, take different actions on, we're trying to address that. It's a massive market opportunity. And we're really the only technology in the world that exists for -- that's really just thinking about teams being able to do every type of action they want to on those documents. (Source: Morgan Stanley Conference 18 May 21)\n\nIn addition, ADBE also highlighted a much smaller TAM of $10B in the e-signature space, as compared with DOCU’s $25B. I find it hard to reconcile such a vast difference between these two leading e-signature players, although ADBE agreed with DOCU that the e-signatures space is still very much in its infancy, and offers tremendous opportunities for the 2 leading enterprise players to grow.\nNevertheless, even though DOCU is the current leader in the e-signatures space in terms of market share, ADBE’s leadership in many other products, and its PDF dominance give ADBE an extremely wide moat, and a real competitor to challenge DOCU. I would be hard pressed to assign a wide moat to DOCU, and find the company probably deserves a narrow moat at best.\nValuations\nEV / Fwd Rev. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nAt the current price, DOCU still trades at a premium to its wide-moat competitor; ADBE. Despite that, if DOCU is able to achieve its expected growth rate (see table below) moving forward, its valuations could be in line with ADBE in future FYs.\nFwd Rev Growth. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nHowever, given DOCU’s narrow moat, and facing a very strong competitor in ADBE, I don’t find the current valuation attractive, and am of the opinion that DOCU is still expensive.\nPrice Action and Technical Analysis\nSource: TradingView\nAfter falling close to 36% from its all-time high, DOCU has been consolidating along its long term uptrend, and is now at the key support level at $185.\nThis is a possible technical buy point for investors who are bullish and would like to initiate or add more positions.\nAs I explained earlier that I believe DOCU is still expensive at current valuations, I may enter DOCU instead as a short term swing trade with clearly defined exit (take profit / stop loss) points, instead of an investment. As of now, I’m still monitoring for an optimal buy entry point.\nInvestors who are still biding their time for a long term position should note that there’s no apparent support level below $185, besides $65. If the price breaks down $185, some amount of price discovery may likely take place to establish a support level, after which may then offer some resolutions on a buy point thereafter.\nConclusion\nDOCU is the leading e-signatures player in a space that’s still very early in its growth. The digital transformation tailwind is expected to continue powering its growth in this segment. Despite that, investors should factor in the company’s narrow moat, while facing a strong wide moat competitor in ADBE when deciding to add this leader at the current price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":333,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197005580,"gmtCreate":1621407429240,"gmtModify":1704357122981,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583915917451734","authorIdStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197005580","repostId":"2136999458","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136999458","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":1621372003,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2136999458?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 05:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street closes lower on weak telecom stocks despite strong retail earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136999458","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 18 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended down on Tuesday, slumping on a sharp decline in telecom stocks ","content":"<p>May 18 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended down on Tuesday, slumping on a sharp decline in telecom stocks and weak housing starts data that overshadowed better-than-expected earnings from Walmart and Home Depot.</p><p>AT&amp;T Inc&nbsp;shed 5.8%, among the biggest percentage decliners in the benchmark S&amp;P 500.

In the last four quarters, on average, Home Depot has beaten earnings estimates about 2%.The Atlanta, Georgia-based company’s shares rose over 20% so far this year. Home Depot’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on Tuesday, could help the stock hit new all-time highs. But the stock’s performance could hinge on margins.“We expect a 25% to 30% Q1’21 comp as top-line strength likely continued through the quarter. We model gross margin down 40 bps. For context, in Q4 lumber inflation pulled gross margin down ~30 bps and likely worsened sequentially. On SG&A, assuming the per sq ft 2-year stack holds from Q4 (+24%), SG&A should lever 360 to 400 bps,” noted Simeon Gutman, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.“In our model, this combination produces EPS of $3.55 to $3.85 vs consensus at $2.95. While a ’21 guide was not provided, if the ’20 top-line exit rate held through ’21, HD would expect a flat to slightly positive comp and an EBIT margin of at least 14%.”WALMART: The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer is expected to report its first-quarter earnings of $1.21 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of about 47% from $1.18 per share seen in the same period a year ago.However, the multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets’ revenue would decline about 2% to $131.8 billion. In the last four quarters, on average, the retail giant has beaten earnings estimates about 9%.“We raise 1Q22 EPS estimate to $1.23 from $1.22, on stronger Walmart U.S. comps, more modest SG&A deleverage, offsetting lower International segment revenues on divestitures, and remain above Street’s $1.21. We raise our Walmart U.S. comps to +0.5%, ahead of Street’s +0.3%, and our updated estimates now imply 2-year stack growth of +10.5% Y/Y, in-line with 4Q21,” noted Oliver Chen, equity analyst at Cowen.“We expect a tailwind from stimulus, and improved apparel and other general merchandise categories, offset by grocery and other essential categories normalizing.

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

(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)Drew Angerer via Getty Images</span></p><p>Most Fed officials and outside economists have suggested the jump in inflation reflected in the data for this spring will be transitory, largely reflecting the result of base effects off last year's pandemic-depressed levels. However, consumers have also begun to increasingly expect higher inflation in the future, with this shift in psychology also contributing in part to the Fed's decision-making. In <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> example, the University of Michigan's final May consumer sentiment index dipped compared to April in part due to concerns that higher inflation would weaken spending power.</p><p>\"Shifting policy language and a small rate increase could douse inflationary psychology; it would be no surprise to consumers, as two-thirds already expect higher interest rates in the year ahead,\" Richard Curtin, chief economist for the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers, said in a press statement at the time.</p><p>Still, inflation and price stability represents just one prong of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate, with the other being achieving maximum employment. To that end, Friday's May jobs report suggested the economy remained a ways off from the Fed's goals, with U.S. employers adding back just 559,000 payrolls versus the 675,000 expected and leaving the economy still 7.6 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels.</p><p>\"The inflation narrative is secondary for the taper discussion, but it is still a consideration. With inflation pressures rising, the risk assessment has likely shifted a bit,\" Michelle Meyer, Bank of America U.S. economist, wrote in a note on Friday. \"The concern for Fed officials is less about strong core CPI prints and more about the drift higher in inflation expectations coupled with signs of a wage-price push. This can make the temporary gains in inflation more persistent.\"</p><h2>GameStop earnings</h2><p>Some fundamental news will be coming out this week for investors in GameStop (GME), one of the original names to be swept up in the \"meme stock\" frenzy at the beginning of this year.</p><p>GameStop is set to report fiscal first-quarter results Wednesday after market close, offering an update on the company's business as retail investor interest in the stock remains heightened.</p><p>Consensus analysts expect GameStop will post adjusted losses of 59 cents per share for the three months ended in April, with this loss narrowing from the $1.61 per share reported in the same three months of last year. Revenue is expected to grow 14% to $1.17 billion.</p><p>Investors on the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets pushed up shares of GameStop initially in January, flocking en masse to the heavily shorted stock to force short-sellers to cover their positions and push the stock's price even higher. Shares of GameStop have rallied by more than 1,200% for the year-to-date through Friday's close.</p><p>According to data from S3 Partners' Ihor Dusaniwsky, short interest in GameStop totaled $2.99 billion as of Friday's close, with 11.58 million shares shorted for a 20.3% short percent of float. Short sellers in GameStop were down by $294 million last week, he added.</p><p>But in recent weeks, AMC Entertainment (AMC) — another heavily shorted stock — eclipsed GameStop in terms of online interest and in share price appreciation. Shares of AMC have risen by more than 400% over the past one month, compared to a 56% increase in shares of GameStop. And AMC's market capitalization eclipsed that of GameStop last week, with the former's market value jumping above $30 billion.</p><p>The vast majority of the moves in the meme stocks were driven by social media popularity as opposed to traditional measures of stock valuation such as earnings and expected future cash flows. However, some have asserted that there is a fundamental argument to be made for investing in shares of AMC and GameStop, with the consumer-facing, brick-and-mortar businesses benefiting from the same \"reopening trade\" rotation that has lifted airline, cruise line, leisure stocks and retailers.</p><p>Still, most Wall Street analysts remain on the sidelines. Three analysts gave GameStop's shares a sell recommendation and two offered a hold, according to Bloomberg data last week. Likewise, AMC garnered four Sell ratings and five Holds. No analysts rated either stock as a Buy, with the vast majority of analysts suggesting the stocks' prices had outrun the underlying value of the businesses. And last week, major banks including Bank of America, Citigroup and Jefferies tightened rules over which clients could participate in short selling of the meme stocks, in an attempt to limit exposure to the extreme volatility these securities have witnessed recently, Bloomberg reported.</p><p>But given the lasting explosion in meme stocks this year, many have conceded that social media-driven trading represents a paradigm shift in the market.</p><p>“This is no longer our grandparents’, or for that matter, our parents' stock market,” Zephyr Market Strategist Ryan Nauman told Yahoo Finance. “Now, investment professionals need to start focusing more on looking at alternative data sets, rethinking their investment thesis to consider this growing cohort of retail investors.”</p><p>Others suggested the heightened speculative trading among retail investors may begin to dwindle once more investors are pulled back into workplaces in person and time at home for trading becomes scarcer.</p><p>\"Participation of the retail investor in U.S. equities has very, very closely followed inversely the COVID timeline. So one of my favorite charts is looking at an Apple mobility index for the U.S., you invert it, and you overlay whatever your favorite measure of retail participation is ... and there is a very striking correlation,\" Binky Chadha, Deustche Bank chief global strategist, told Yahoo Finance on Thursday. \"So I would argue that the participation is following this ... and the thesis is that as markets reopen, retail participation is going to come down.\"</p><p>\"We tend to think of it as a flash in the pan as opposed to a change in the trend,\" he concluded.</p><h2>Economic Calendar</h2><ul><li><p><b>Monday: </b>Consumer credit ($20.000 billion expected, $25.841 billion in March)</p></li><li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>NFIB Small Business Optimism, May (100.5 expected, 99.8 in April);

Officials from the Federal Reserve will also enter their \"blackout period\" ahead of their June policy-setting meeting.Still, new data on consumer price inflation will be of interest, since market participants have been looking for signs that the post-pandemic recovery is generating a surge in prices amid supply chain and labor shortages and booming demand.The Labor Department's May consumer price index (CPI) on Thursday will show the latest on these price trends for the average American. Consensus economists are looking for the index to register a 0.4% month-on-month increase after a 0.8% surge in April. And over last year, the headline CPI is expected to jump 4.7%, or by the most since 2008.The core CPI, or more closely watched measure excluding volatile food and energy prices, is expected to rise 0.4% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year. The latter would mark the greatest jump in nearly three decades.\"Thursday’s CPI data will be scrutinized after last month’s report sent up a flare on higher inflation,\" David Donabedian, chief investment officer of CIBC Private Wealth, wrote in an email on Friday. \"While the consensus is for a 0.4% monthly increase, the risk is probably to the upside as bottlenecks and other supply constraints push costs higher.\"Last month's greater-than-expected surge in the April consumer price index contributed to a 2% selloff in the S&P 500, with concerns over fast-rising and persistent inflation threatening to dampen the growth potential of longer-duration stocks especially. Market participants have also been monitoring inflation data with an eye to its implications for monetary policy, with the Federal Reserve looking for inflation to average above 2% for a period of time before rolling back some of its crisis-era support.WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 24: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell testifies during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Capitol Hill on September 24, 2020 in Washington, DC. Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are testifying about the CARES Act and the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)Drew Angerer via Getty ImagesMost Fed officials and outside economists have suggested the jump in inflation reflected in the data for this spring will be transitory, largely reflecting the result of base effects off last year's pandemic-depressed levels. However, consumers have also begun to increasingly expect higher inflation in the future, with this shift in psychology also contributing in part to the Fed's decision-making. In one example, the University of Michigan's final May consumer sentiment index dipped compared to April in part due to concerns that higher inflation would weaken spending power.\"Shifting policy language and a small rate increase could douse inflationary psychology; it would be no surprise to consumers, as two-thirds already expect higher interest rates in the year ahead,\" Richard Curtin, chief economist for the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers, said in a press statement at the time.Still, inflation and price stability represents just one prong of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate, with the other being achieving maximum employment. To that end, Friday's May jobs report suggested the economy remained a ways off from the Fed's goals, with U.S. employers adding back just 559,000 payrolls versus the 675,000 expected and leaving the economy still 7.6 million jobs short of pre-pandemic levels.\"The inflation narrative is secondary for the taper discussion, but it is still a consideration. With inflation pressures rising, the risk assessment has likely shifted a bit,\" Michelle Meyer, Bank of America U.S. economist, wrote in a note on Friday. \"The concern for Fed officials is less about strong core CPI prints and more about the drift higher in inflation expectations coupled with signs of a wage-price push. This can make the temporary gains in inflation more persistent.\"GameStop earningsSome fundamental news will be coming out this week for investors in GameStop (GME), one of the original names to be swept up in the \"meme stock\" frenzy at the beginning of this year.GameStop is set to report fiscal first-quarter results Wednesday after market close, offering an update on the company's business as retail investor interest in the stock remains heightened.Consensus analysts expect GameStop will post adjusted losses of 59 cents per share for the three months ended in April, with this loss narrowing from the $1.61 per share reported in the same three months of last year. Revenue is expected to grow 14% to $1.17 billion.Investors on the Reddit forum r/wallstreetbets pushed up shares of GameStop initially in January, flocking en masse to the heavily shorted stock to force short-sellers to cover their positions and push the stock's price even higher. Shares of GameStop have rallied by more than 1,200% for the year-to-date through Friday's close.According to data from S3 Partners' Ihor Dusaniwsky, short interest in GameStop totaled $2.99 billion as of Friday's close, with 11.58 million shares shorted for a 20.3% short percent of float. Short sellers in GameStop were down by $294 million last week, he added.But in recent weeks, AMC Entertainment (AMC) — another heavily shorted stock — eclipsed GameStop in terms of online interest and in share price appreciation. Shares of AMC have risen by more than 400% over the past one month, compared to a 56% increase in shares of GameStop. And AMC's market capitalization eclipsed that of GameStop last week, with the former's market value jumping above $30 billion.The vast majority of the moves in the meme stocks were driven by social media popularity as opposed to traditional measures of stock valuation such as earnings and expected future cash flows. However, some have asserted that there is a fundamental argument to be made for investing in shares of AMC and GameStop, with the consumer-facing, brick-and-mortar businesses benefiting from the same \"reopening trade\" rotation that has lifted airline, cruise line, leisure stocks and retailers.Still, most Wall Street analysts remain on the sidelines. Three analysts gave GameStop's shares a sell recommendation and two offered a hold, according to Bloomberg data last week. Likewise, AMC garnered four Sell ratings and five Holds. No analysts rated either stock as a Buy, with the vast majority of analysts suggesting the stocks' prices had outrun the underlying value of the businesses. And last week, major banks including Bank of America, Citigroup and Jefferies tightened rules over which clients could participate in short selling of the meme stocks, in an attempt to limit exposure to the extreme volatility these securities have witnessed recently, Bloomberg reported.But given the lasting explosion in meme stocks this year, many have conceded that social media-driven trading represents a paradigm shift in the market.“This is no longer our grandparents’, or for that matter, our parents' stock market,” Zephyr Market Strategist Ryan Nauman told Yahoo Finance. “Now, investment professionals need to start focusing more on looking at alternative data sets, rethinking their investment thesis to consider this growing cohort of retail investors.”Others suggested the heightened speculative trading among retail investors may begin to dwindle once more investors are pulled back into workplaces in person and time at home for trading becomes scarcer.\"Participation of the retail investor in U.S. equities has very, very closely followed inversely the COVID timeline. So one of my favorite charts is looking at an Apple mobility index for the U.S., you invert it, and you overlay whatever your favorite measure of retail participation is ... and there is a very striking correlation,\" Binky Chadha, Deustche Bank chief global strategist, told Yahoo Finance on Thursday. \"So I would argue that the participation is following this ... and the thesis is that as markets reopen, retail participation is going to come down.\"\"We tend to think of it as a flash in the pan as opposed to a change in the trend,\" he concluded.Economic CalendarMonday: Consumer credit ($20.000 billion expected, $25.841 billion in March)Tuesday: NFIB Small Business Optimism, May (100.5 expected, 99.8 in April); Trade balance, April (-$69.0 billion expected, -$74.4 billion in March); JOLTS Job Openings, April (8.123 million in March)Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended June 4 (-4.0% during prior week); Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, April final (0.8% expected, 0.8% in prior print)Thursday: Consumer price index, month-over-month, May (0.4% expected, 0.8% in April); Consumer price index excluding food and energy, month-over-month, May (0.4% expected, 0.9% in April); Consumer price index, year-over-year, May (4.7% expected, 4.2% in April); Consumer price index excluding food and energy, year-over-year, May (3.4% expected, 3.0% in April); Initial jobless claims, week ended June 5 (372,000 expected, 385,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended May 29 (3.771 million during prior week); Household change in net worth, Q1 ($6.93 trillion in Q4); Monthly budget statement, May (-$225.6 billion in April)Friday: University of Michigan sentiment, June preliminary (84.0 expected, 82.9 in May)Earnings CalendarMonday: Coupa Software (COUP), StitchFix (SFIX) after market closeTuesday: N/AWednesday: RH (RH), GameStop (GME) after market closeThursday: FuelCell Energy (FCEL) before market open; Chewy (CHWY), Dave & Buster's Entertainment (PLAY) after market closeFriday: N/A","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112019793,"gmtCreate":1622823708812,"gmtModify":1704192033789,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583915917451734","idStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPCE\">$Virgin Galactic(SPCE)$</a>Come on SPCE.

In the last four quarters, on average, Home Depot has beaten earnings estimates about 2%.The Atlanta, Georgia-based company’s shares rose over 20% so far this year. Home Depot’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on Tuesday, could help the stock hit new all-time highs. But the stock’s performance could hinge on margins.“We expect a 25% to 30% Q1’21 comp as top-line strength likely continued through the quarter. We model gross margin down 40 bps. For context, in Q4 lumber inflation pulled gross margin down ~30 bps and likely worsened sequentially. On SG&A, assuming the per sq ft 2-year stack holds from Q4 (+24%), SG&A should lever 360 to 400 bps,” noted Simeon Gutman, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.“In our model, this combination produces EPS of $3.55 to $3.85 vs consensus at $2.95. While a ’21 guide was not provided, if the ’20 top-line exit rate held through ’21, HD would expect a flat to slightly positive comp and an EBIT margin of at least 14%.”WALMART: The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer is expected to report its first-quarter earnings of $1.21 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of about 47% from $1.18 per share seen in the same period a year ago.However, the multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets’ revenue would decline about 2% to $131.8 billion. In the last four quarters, on average, the retail giant has beaten earnings estimates about 9%.“We raise 1Q22 EPS estimate to $1.23 from $1.22, on stronger Walmart U.S. comps, more modest SG&A deleverage, offsetting lower International segment revenues on divestitures, and remain above Street’s $1.21. We raise our Walmart U.S. comps to +0.5%, ahead of Street’s +0.3%, and our updated estimates now imply 2-year stack growth of +10.5% Y/Y, in-line with 4Q21,” noted Oliver Chen, equity analyst at Cowen.“We expect a tailwind from stimulus, and improved apparel and other general merchandise categories, offset by grocery and other essential categories normalizing.

The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company would post year-over-year revenue growth of over 9% to $21.51 billion.Target’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on May 19, would help the stock hit new all-time highs. Target shares rose over 19% so far this year.“We raise 1Q21 EPS to $2.18E, ahead of Street’s $2.10 as we raise our comps estimate to+11.5%, and tweak margin assumptions. We now model comps +11.5%, yielding 2-year stack growth of +22.3%, accelerating sequentially by +30bps,” noted Oliver Chen, equity analyst at Cowen.“We are ahead of Street’s+8.2% consensus estimate, and think our estimates could ultimately prove conservative as Target’s (TGT) category portfolio should see the retailer benefit from the stimulus, improving trends in apparel and other re-opening categories, along with continued strength in-home, which will more than offset normalizing food, essentials, and other category comps.”TickerCompanyEPS ForecastVIPSVipshop$2.19JDJD.com$2.29LOWLowe’s Companies$2.59CAECae USA$0.16ADIAnalog Devices$1.45TGTTarget$2.16TJXTJX Companies$0.30EXPEagle Materials$1.23RXNRexnord$0.45KEYSKeysight Technologies$1.33CSCOCisco Systems$0.82LBL Brands$1.15SNPSSynopsys$1.53SQMSociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile$0.25YYYY-$0.39CPRTCopart$0.80OMVJFOMV$0.97Thursday (May 20)TickerCompanyEPS ForecastMNROMonro Muffler Brake$0.29KSSKohl’s$0.06BRCBrady$0.65RLRalph Lauren-$0.75HRLHormel Foods$0.41BJBJs Wholesale Club Holdings Inc$0.56PANWPalo Alto Networks$1.28ROSTRoss Stores$0.88FLOFlowers Foods$0.40AMATApplied Materials$1.51DECKDeckers Outdoor$0.67TCEHYTencent$0.54TBLMYTiger Brands Ltd PK$0.34Friday (May 21)IN THE SPOTLIGHT: DEERE & COMPANYDeere & Company, the world’s largest maker of farm equipment, is expected to report its fiscal second-quarter earnings of $4.49 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of over 112% from $2.11 per share seen in the same period a year ago.In the last four consecutive quarters, on average, the agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment manufacturer has delivered an earnings surprise of over 60%. The Moline, Illinois-based company would post year-over-year revenue growth of over 28% to $10.5 billion.Deere’s better-than-expected results, which will be announced on Friday, would help the stock hit new all-time highs. Deere shares rose over 42% so far this year.“Deere & Company (DE) is one of the highest quality, most defensive names within the broader Machinery universe, given an historically lower cyclicality of Ag Equipment and history of strong management execution.

It has only been three short years since NIO made its first deliveries in mid-2018, yet many are already wondering whether its share price can reach similar heights as an industry leader, Tesla’s(NASDAQ:TSLA). Albeit a little farfetched given Tesla is currently trading at more than $600 per share with a market cap of more than $600 billion, we do believe NIO has promising potential to break $100 per share before 2025.

The brand is widely known for their breakthrough in battery swapping technology, “Power Swap”, which provides NIO owners with a fast and convenient solution to concerns over the typically limited travel range of EVs. Similar to a gas station, Power Swap is a battery swapping station that can swap a dead battery out for a fully charged one in under three minutes; a fully charged battery enables a NIO vehicle to travel up to 435 miles, which is more than double of the&nbsp;181-mile average travel range of electric vehicles&nbsp;currently available on the market. NIO owners have the option to subscribe to the“Battery as a Service” (“BaaS”)package, which is a monthly subscription service that provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal needs. The company currently offers a standard 75 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 310 miles on a full charge, and an enhanced 100 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 435 miles on a full charge; both are available for NIO owners to choose from on a month-to-month basis under BaaS. To date, there are&nbsp;more than 226 battery swapping stations&nbsp;across China, with more on the way following a recent&nbsp;strategic partnership agreement&nbsp;between NIO and Sinopec. NIO’s vehicles are also compatible with local competitor XPeng’s(NYSE:XPEV)1,140 vehicle charging stations available across 164 cities in China, which further enhances its existing network of charging infrastructure in place for NIO owners.</p>\n<p>In addition to the developed network of infrastructure needed to sustain NIO EVs in the long run, the company has also been working diligently on perfecting their autonomous driving and AI technology in order to remain competitive in the broader EV and tech space. NIO has already been performing testing on its autonomous driving systems since 2016, with their first testing on public roads in Beijing performed in 2018. The company’s commitment to the future of passenger transportation is also proven through their development of&nbsp;EVE, the brand’s concept car for autonomous driving which encompasses a luxurious, comfortable and safe experience powered by NIO’s&nbsp;NOMI AI, the world’s first in-vehicle artificial intelligence.</p>\n<p>To further enhance their progress in autonomous driving technology, NIO has recently&nbsp;partnered with Mobileye&nbsp;– an Intel-owned(NASDAQ:INTC)company known for developing the “EyeQ chip” currently used by more than 27 car manufacturers for their assisted-driving technologies – to develop and commercialize driving automation that does not require human interaction (i.e. “level 4” autonomous driving). Their collaboration is expected to accelerate NIO’s launch of the “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”) package, which is a monthly subscription for their autonomous driving technology, “NIO Autonomous Driving” (“NAD”). However, similar to Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” package, the NAD technology that is expected to launch in 2022 does not yet make NIO vehicles capable of driving without human intervention, but it does catapult NIO to a comparable spot with industry leader Tesla in the race towards level 4 autonomous driving. NIO owners will have the option to subscribe to ADaaS for a monthly subscription fee of RMB 680. With more than 102,000 NIO vehicles on the road today, the new subscription package is expected to generate incremental annual sales of RMB 840 million ($132 million); the additional revenue stream is valued at approximately RMB 10 billion ($1.6 billion) upon the service’s inception, assuming an average vehicle life of 12 years with most existing NIO owners signing up.</p>\n<p>NIO’s continuous developments in autonomous driving technology are expected to benefit the company and its shareholders greatly in the near future. By 2025, the global autonomous cars market will become one of the fastest growing and most highly demanded segments with an&nbsp;estimated value of $1.6 trillion. A 6% share of this market would add a valuation of at least $100 billion to NIO’s existing $67 billion market cap, boosting its per unit share value to more than $100. Considering NIO is currently one of the very few fully electric automakers to have achieved tangible results within the autonomous driving scene, and is actively growing its overseas sales, we are confident that the company is capable of capturing more than 6% of the said market share, and achieve a per unit share price of more than $100 by 2025 with ease. Combined with the global shift in consumer preference towards electrification and automation, we are projecting vehicle sales of approximately 300,000 units by FY 2025, which will yield total revenues of approximately RMB 140 billion ($22 billion).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b6c800a04e6df92802f6893d214eecdd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"213\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal forecasts (NIO_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).</span></p>\n<p><b>Global Expansion</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/537449f8f7ee9c736b48c1776cbb7259\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"249\"><span>Source: ir.nio.com</span></p>\n<p>Another catalyst that will propel NIO’s share price beyond $100 is their ongoing overseas expansion efforts. NIO has been transparent about their intentions to expand globally, especially in the U.S. and Europe, as part of their plans in becoming an industry leader. NIO will be opening its first&nbsp;overseas sales and service centre in Oslo, Norway&nbsp;in September. The brand’s footprint in Norway will further expand in 2022 with four more NIO stores to open in Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim and Kristiansand. In addition to its direct sales and service centres, NIO will also be introducing a full charging map for Europe, starting with four NIO Power Swap stations in Norway to provide new NIO owners with the convenience and range that the brand builds its success on. NIO’s flagship SUV, the&nbsp;ES8, which currently retails at a&nbsp;starting price of approximately US$67,000, will be the first model introduced in the European market, with the brand’s newest full-size sedan, the&nbsp;ET7, to follow in 2022.</p>\n<p>With a proven sales track record in China’s luxury EV market, and specs comparable to the globally recognized Tesla, there is no reason for NIO to not succeed overseas. As mentioned in earlier sections, NIO’s vehicles have a driving range of up to 435 miles on a full charge, making it a desirable choice for potential European and American car owners looking for a reliable companion to accompany them on daily commutes to long road trips. The NIO exterior and interior designs are also modern, luxurious, and comparable to those preferred by the European and North American population. Combined with a diverse product line and price range, NIO is equipped to take on the increasing demands for EVs on a global scale.</p>\n<p><b>NIO’s Historical Performance</b></p>\n<p>Just a little more than a year ago, NIO’s share price hit an all-time low at under $2 amidst liquidity troubles despite continued vehicle sales. In mid-2020, the municipal government of Hefei, China came to NIO’s rescue with a&nbsp;capital injection of RMB 7 billion&nbsp;(approximately $1 billion). The arrangement resulted in the creation of “NIO China”, which serves as the operating entity that holds all of NIO’s core businesses and assets; NIO currently holds a 90.36% ownership interest in NIO China, while the “Hefei Strategic Investors” consortium holds the remainder 9.64%. The partnership became the company’s lifeline; the additional capital brought forth significant improvements to the company’s operations and vehicle sales, which were reflected in their strong financial performance and upward trend in share price in the summer of 2020. By the end of 2020’s second quarter, NIO’s share price rebounded by almost 20% on average after posting a 171% quarter-over-quarter increase in total revenues. The company’s share price more than tripled in 2020’s third quarter, averaging $15.40, and continued to climb towards its fourth quarter average of $38.70. By the end of the latest quarter ended March 31st, 2021, NIO’s share price averaged $50.97, and peaked at almost $62 in February which is more than 10x its&nbsp;IPO price in 2018. The company holds a market cap of more than $67 billion today, outgrowing its mere $1 billion market cap when it made its debut on the NYSE.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75a1d7edb18c1762028ba54f617e1982\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"250\"><span>Source: Author, with data from ir.nio.com</span></p>\n<p>NIO’s fundamentals have also shown nothing but steady improvements since its share price peaked earlier this year before the&nbsp;growth stock sell-off in late February. Deliveries in 2021 have continued to accelerate exponentially, with first quarter deliveries of more than 20,000 vehicles, representing almost 50% of total deliveries made in 2020. The company continues to exhibit a promising outlook with more than 7,100 vehicles delivered in April, representing an increase of more than 125% year-over-year. NIO has also maintained positive cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2021, thanks to the higher deliveries and effective cost-management measures which have amped up their gross profit margin to 19.5%, comparable with industry leaders like Tesla whose first quarter gross margins were 21%. As aforementioned, we are forecasting vehicle sales of close to 300,000 units by FY 2025, which translates to approximately RMB 140 billion ($22 billion) in total revenues ($18.60 per share). Our vehicle sales forecast for FY 2025 is further corroborated by the&nbsp;recently renewed manufacturing agreement&nbsp;with joint venturer “Jianghuai Automobile Group” (“JAC”), which increases the current annual production capacity of 100,000 units to 240,000 units; the ongoing construction of “NeoPark” in Hefei, China is also expected to add annual production capacity of 1 million units, which further supports our positive outlook on NIO’s continued commitment to grow its business. Considering industry peer Tesla’s current P/S ratio of 16.43x with approximately $42 billion in annual revenues (annualization of $10.389 billion in first quarter revenues), the same proportion applied to NIO’s forecasted FY 2025 total revenues is expected to yield a P/S ratio of 8.7x, resulting in a share price of more than $160.</p>\n<p><b>NIO vs. LI and XPEV</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/af8fa939f92be448d1f427a6ac4bfb25\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>Source: Finviz</span></p>\n<p>We have also compared NIO’s current P/S ratio to its domestic peers to gauge the timeline in which NIO’s share price will exceed $100. NIO currently trades at a P/S ratio of approximately 14.88x, while domestic industry peers, Li Auto(NASDAQ:LI)and XPEV, currently trade at a P/S ratio of 14.46x and 21.31x, respectively.</p>\n<p>Considering NIO’s technology, revenues, global footprint, and cash flows are stronger than LI’s and XPEV’s, the former deserves to be traded at a much higher multiple than the latter two. Even if NIO reaches a P/S ratio of 18.1x (mid-point to XPEV's), it will drive the company’s current share price up to $51.50, which represents an upside potential of 22% based on the last traded share price of $42.34 (June 1st). And based on our forecasted revenues for FY 2025 for NIO of RMB 140 billion ($22 billion), or $18.60 per share, even a multiple half of the 18.1x would be more than sufficient to bring NIO's share price beyond $160 by 2025; we believe the trading multiple is achievable for NIO given the cash from operations and technological advancements achieved by then would place them on a trajectory of continued long-term growth within the EV industry, which is expected to continue into 2030 and beyond when the brand's level 4 autonomous driving technology development is complete and commercialized.</p>\n<p><b>Business Risks and Challenges</b></p>\n<p>As mentioned in one of my&nbsp;previous articles on NIO, the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” (“HFCA Act”) remains one of the most significant impending threats to the company’s share price. Currently, public accounting firms in China are non-compliant with PCAOB inspection rules required by the SEC, and the enactment of the HFCA Act in December 2020 requires that these public accounting firms comply with PCAOB inspection requests within three years of the enactment date; otherwise, all public companies audited by said firms will be subject to risks of de-listing. NIO is currently audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, which is on PCAOB’s&nbsp;denied-access list. The potential threat of being delisted from the NYSE could be a deterrence factor to investors and ultimately hemorrhage NIO’s share price in the long run if Chinese authorities and the PCAOB cannot reach an agreement on conducting inspections soon.</p>\n<p>Another imminent challenge to NIO’s business is the ongoing global chip supply shortage. As the automotive industry becomes more dependent on chips to manage every function of their vehicles, the gap between automaker demands and chip manufacturer supplies is widened. NIO was no exception to the impacts of the ongoing chip supply crisis – in March 2021, NIO halted their production activity at the JAC-NIO manufacturing plant for five working days in order to adjust their production levels. However, the company continues to effectively navigate through the situation as proven through their increasing number of deliveries month-over-month; in NIO’s latest delivery update press release for April, the company has continued to keep up with market demand with more than 7,100 vehicle deliveries made, representing a 125% year-over-year growth.</p>\n<p>Competition within the EV sector has also ramped up in recent years. Consumer attitude towards EVs has changed drastically in the past decade due to rising concerns over climate change met with price parity between traditional petrol-fueled vehicles and EVs. The entry barrier for emerging EV makers has also lowered significantly as car battery solutions become more accessible through third-party OEMs; new entrants are now keener on participating in the profitable opportunity within the growing EV sector as initial investments become more reasonable than it was for Tesla in 2003 when EVs were still just a concept to many. In addition to new entrants, traditional petrol-fueled automakers like Ford(NYSE:F)have also started to incorporate fully battery-powered vehicles into their fleet in order to meet evolving consumer demands and remain competitive within the automotive industry. However, we believe NIO possesses the brand, customer experience, production strategy, talent and business model (further analyzedhere) needed to remain successful within the new competitive landscape in the long run.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>NIO has already established a strong brand presence within the domestic Chinese market, which is currently one of the fastest growing EV markets, representing more than 40% of global EV sales in 2020. Combined with their proven ability to produce quality EVs, construct innovative charging infrastructure, achieve breakthrough progress in the development of autonomous driving technology, and execute their overseas expansion strategy, NIO is effectively narrowing the gap between them and Tesla within the EV sector on a global scale. We are confident that the next five years will be a transformational era for the EV and tech company due to increasing demands for electrification and automation within the automotive industry, which NIO has already proven to excel in. The value of its continued achievements will be reflected in its share price in no time, making them a worthy stock pick for those looking to profit off of the impending age of green transition and automation.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Can NIO Stock Reach $100?

NIO owners have the option to subscribe to the“Battery as a Service” (“BaaS”)package, which is a monthly subscription service that provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal needs. The company currently offers a standard 75 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 310 miles on a full charge, and an enhanced 100 kWh battery which enables a travel range of up to 435 miles on a full charge; both are available for NIO owners to choose from on a month-to-month basis under BaaS. To date, there are more than 226 battery swapping stations across China, with more on the way following a recent strategic partnership agreement between NIO and Sinopec. NIO’s vehicles are also compatible with local competitor XPeng’s(NYSE:XPEV)1,140 vehicle charging stations available across 164 cities in China, which further enhances its existing network of charging infrastructure in place for NIO owners.\nIn addition to the developed network of infrastructure needed to sustain NIO EVs in the long run, the company has also been working diligently on perfecting their autonomous driving and AI technology in order to remain competitive in the broader EV and tech space. NIO has already been performing testing on its autonomous driving systems since 2016, with their first testing on public roads in Beijing performed in 2018. The company’s commitment to the future of passenger transportation is also proven through their development of EVE, the brand’s concept car for autonomous driving which encompasses a luxurious, comfortable and safe experience powered by NIO’s NOMI AI, the world’s first in-vehicle artificial intelligence.\nTo further enhance their progress in autonomous driving technology, NIO has recently partnered with Mobileye – an Intel-owned(NASDAQ:INTC)company known for developing the “EyeQ chip” currently used by more than 27 car manufacturers for their assisted-driving technologies – to develop and commercialize driving automation that does not require human interaction (i.e. “level 4” autonomous driving). Their collaboration is expected to accelerate NIO’s launch of the “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”) package, which is a monthly subscription for their autonomous driving technology, “NIO Autonomous Driving” (“NAD”). However, similar to Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” package, the NAD technology that is expected to launch in 2022 does not yet make NIO vehicles capable of driving without human intervention, but it does catapult NIO to a comparable spot with industry leader Tesla in the race towards level 4 autonomous driving. NIO owners will have the option to subscribe to ADaaS for a monthly subscription fee of RMB 680. With more than 102,000 NIO vehicles on the road today, the new subscription package is expected to generate incremental annual sales of RMB 840 million ($132 million); the additional revenue stream is valued at approximately RMB 10 billion ($1.6 billion) upon the service’s inception, assuming an average vehicle life of 12 years with most existing NIO owners signing up.\nNIO’s continuous developments in autonomous driving technology are expected to benefit the company and its shareholders greatly in the near future. By 2025, the global autonomous cars market will become one of the fastest growing and most highly demanded segments with an estimated value of $1.6 trillion. A 6% share of this market would add a valuation of at least $100 billion to NIO’s existing $67 billion market cap, boosting its per unit share value to more than $100. Considering NIO is currently one of the very few fully electric automakers to have achieved tangible results within the autonomous driving scene, and is actively growing its overseas sales, we are confident that the company is capable of capturing more than 6% of the said market share, and achieve a per unit share price of more than $100 by 2025 with ease. Combined with the global shift in consumer preference towards electrification and automation, we are projecting vehicle sales of approximately 300,000 units by FY 2025, which will yield total revenues of approximately RMB 140 billion ($22 billion).\nSource: Author, with data from our internal forecasts (NIO_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).\nGlobal Expansion\nSource: ir.nio.com\nAnother catalyst that will propel NIO’s share price beyond $100 is their ongoing overseas expansion efforts. NIO has been transparent about their intentions to expand globally, especially in the U.S. and Europe, as part of their plans in becoming an industry leader. NIO will be opening its first overseas sales and service centre in Oslo, Norway in September. The brand’s footprint in Norway will further expand in 2022 with four more NIO stores to open in Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim and Kristiansand. In addition to its direct sales and service centres, NIO will also be introducing a full charging map for Europe, starting with four NIO Power Swap stations in Norway to provide new NIO owners with the convenience and range that the brand builds its success on. NIO’s flagship SUV, the ES8, which currently retails at a starting price of approximately US$67,000, will be the first model introduced in the European market, with the brand’s newest full-size sedan, the ET7, to follow in 2022.\nWith a proven sales track record in China’s luxury EV market, and specs comparable to the globally recognized Tesla, there is no reason for NIO to not succeed overseas. As mentioned in earlier sections, NIO’s vehicles have a driving range of up to 435 miles on a full charge, making it a desirable choice for potential European and American car owners looking for a reliable companion to accompany them on daily commutes to long road trips. The NIO exterior and interior designs are also modern, luxurious, and comparable to those preferred by the European and North American population. Combined with a diverse product line and price range, NIO is equipped to take on the increasing demands for EVs on a global scale.\nNIO’s Historical Performance\nJust a little more than a year ago, NIO’s share price hit an all-time low at under $2 amidst liquidity troubles despite continued vehicle sales. In mid-2020, the municipal government of Hefei, China came to NIO’s rescue with a capital injection of RMB 7 billion (approximately $1 billion). The arrangement resulted in the creation of “NIO China”, which serves as the operating entity that holds all of NIO’s core businesses and assets; NIO currently holds a 90.36% ownership interest in NIO China, while the “Hefei Strategic Investors” consortium holds the remainder 9.64%. The partnership became the company’s lifeline; the additional capital brought forth significant improvements to the company’s operations and vehicle sales, which were reflected in their strong financial performance and upward trend in share price in the summer of 2020. By the end of 2020’s second quarter, NIO’s share price rebounded by almost 20% on average after posting a 171% quarter-over-quarter increase in total revenues. The company’s share price more than tripled in 2020’s third quarter, averaging $15.40, and continued to climb towards its fourth quarter average of $38.70. By the end of the latest quarter ended March 31st, 2021, NIO’s share price averaged $50.97, and peaked at almost $62 in February which is more than 10x its IPO price in 2018. The company holds a market cap of more than $67 billion today, outgrowing its mere $1 billion market cap when it made its debut on the NYSE.\nSource: Author, with data from ir.nio.com\nNIO’s fundamentals have also shown nothing but steady improvements since its share price peaked earlier this year before the growth stock sell-off in late February. Deliveries in 2021 have continued to accelerate exponentially, with first quarter deliveries of more than 20,000 vehicles, representing almost 50% of total deliveries made in 2020. The company continues to exhibit a promising outlook with more than 7,100 vehicles delivered in April, representing an increase of more than 125% year-over-year. NIO has also maintained positive cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2021, thanks to the higher deliveries and effective cost-management measures which have amped up their gross profit margin to 19.5%, comparable with industry leaders like Tesla whose first quarter gross margins were 21%. As aforementioned, we are forecasting vehicle sales of close to 300,000 units by FY 2025, which translates to approximately RMB 140 billion ($22 billion) in total revenues ($18.60 per share). Our vehicle sales forecast for FY 2025 is further corroborated by the recently renewed manufacturing agreement with joint venturer “Jianghuai Automobile Group” (“JAC”), which increases the current annual production capacity of 100,000 units to 240,000 units; the ongoing construction of “NeoPark” in Hefei, China is also expected to add annual production capacity of 1 million units, which further supports our positive outlook on NIO’s continued commitment to grow its business. Considering industry peer Tesla’s current P/S ratio of 16.43x with approximately $42 billion in annual revenues (annualization of $10.389 billion in first quarter revenues), the same proportion applied to NIO’s forecasted FY 2025 total revenues is expected to yield a P/S ratio of 8.7x, resulting in a share price of more than $160.\nNIO vs. LI and XPEV\nSource: Finviz\nWe have also compared NIO’s current P/S ratio to its domestic peers to gauge the timeline in which NIO’s share price will exceed $100. NIO currently trades at a P/S ratio of approximately 14.88x, while domestic industry peers, Li Auto(NASDAQ:LI)and XPEV, currently trade at a P/S ratio of 14.46x and 21.31x, respectively.\nConsidering NIO’s technology, revenues, global footprint, and cash flows are stronger than LI’s and XPEV’s, the former deserves to be traded at a much higher multiple than the latter two. Even if NIO reaches a P/S ratio of 18.1x (mid-point to XPEV's), it will drive the company’s current share price up to $51.50, which represents an upside potential of 22% based on the last traded share price of $42.34 (June 1st). And based on our forecasted revenues for FY 2025 for NIO of RMB 140 billion ($22 billion), or $18.60 per share, even a multiple half of the 18.1x would be more than sufficient to bring NIO's share price beyond $160 by 2025; we believe the trading multiple is achievable for NIO given the cash from operations and technological advancements achieved by then would place them on a trajectory of continued long-term growth within the EV industry, which is expected to continue into 2030 and beyond when the brand's level 4 autonomous driving technology development is complete and commercialized.\nBusiness Risks and Challenges\nAs mentioned in one of my previous articles on NIO, the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” (“HFCA Act”) remains one of the most significant impending threats to the company’s share price. Currently, public accounting firms in China are non-compliant with PCAOB inspection rules required by the SEC, and the enactment of the HFCA Act in December 2020 requires that these public accounting firms comply with PCAOB inspection requests within three years of the enactment date; otherwise, all public companies audited by said firms will be subject to risks of de-listing. NIO is currently audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP, which is on PCAOB’s denied-access list. The potential threat of being delisted from the NYSE could be a deterrence factor to investors and ultimately hemorrhage NIO’s share price in the long run if Chinese authorities and the PCAOB cannot reach an agreement on conducting inspections soon.\nAnother imminent challenge to NIO’s business is the ongoing global chip supply shortage. As the automotive industry becomes more dependent on chips to manage every function of their vehicles, the gap between automaker demands and chip manufacturer supplies is widened. NIO was no exception to the impacts of the ongoing chip supply crisis – in March 2021, NIO halted their production activity at the JAC-NIO manufacturing plant for five working days in order to adjust their production levels. However, the company continues to effectively navigate through the situation as proven through their increasing number of deliveries month-over-month; in NIO’s latest delivery update press release for April, the company has continued to keep up with market demand with more than 7,100 vehicle deliveries made, representing a 125% year-over-year growth.\nCompetition within the EV sector has also ramped up in recent years. Consumer attitude towards EVs has changed drastically in the past decade due to rising concerns over climate change met with price parity between traditional petrol-fueled vehicles and EVs. The entry barrier for emerging EV makers has also lowered significantly as car battery solutions become more accessible through third-party OEMs; new entrants are now keener on participating in the profitable opportunity within the growing EV sector as initial investments become more reasonable than it was for Tesla in 2003 when EVs were still just a concept to many. In addition to new entrants, traditional petrol-fueled automakers like Ford(NYSE:F)have also started to incorporate fully battery-powered vehicles into their fleet in order to meet evolving consumer demands and remain competitive within the automotive industry. However, we believe NIO possesses the brand, customer experience, production strategy, talent and business model (further analyzedhere) needed to remain successful within the new competitive landscape in the long run.\nConclusion\nNIO has already established a strong brand presence within the domestic Chinese market, which is currently one of the fastest growing EV markets, representing more than 40% of global EV sales in 2020. Combined with their proven ability to produce quality EVs, construct innovative charging infrastructure, achieve breakthrough progress in the development of autonomous driving technology, and execute their overseas expansion strategy, NIO is effectively narrowing the gap between them and Tesla within the EV sector on a global scale. We are confident that the next five years will be a transformational era for the EV and tech company due to increasing demands for electrification and automation within the automotive industry, which NIO has already proven to excel in. The value of its continued achievements will be reflected in its share price in no time, making them a worthy stock pick for those looking to profit off of the impending age of green transition and automation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111700482,"gmtCreate":1622696299346,"gmtModify":1704189138891,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583915917451734","idStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111700482","repostId":"1115876867","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115876867","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622678071,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1115876867?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-03 07:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Shares of retail favorite AMC nearly double, company woos investors with free popcorn","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115876867","media":"Reuters","summary":"Shares of retail investor favorite AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc(AMC.N)nearly doubled in price on W","content":"<p>Shares of retail investor favorite <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">AMC Entertainment</a> Holdings Inc(AMC.N)nearly doubled in price on Wednesday, extending a breathtaking rally and reinvigorating the meme stock phenomenon that has captivated investors.</p><p>The theater chain operator's shares closed up 95.2% at $62.55, a fresh record.

About $39 billion worth of AMC shares was traded on Wednesday, by far the most of any stock on Wall Street, per Refinitiv data.The company has been among the biggest gainers from a deluge of interest in so-called meme stocks.\"The (retail trading) party could go on as long as investors could continue co-acting,\" said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote. \"The problem is, the higher the price goes, the higher is the temptation to take profit and walk away.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":79,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119680686,"gmtCreate":1622541680445,"gmtModify":1704185941079,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583915917451734","idStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/119680686","repostId":"1143634909","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143634909","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622418963,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143634909?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-31 07:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These are Wall Street’s top analysts favorite stocks heading into June","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143634909","media":"CNBC","summary":"With May coming to a close, Wall Street analysts are fine tuning their recommendations as COVID-19 v","content":"<div>\n<p>With May coming to a close, Wall Street analysts are fine tuning their recommendations as COVID-19 vaccinations pave the way for further economic re-opening this summer.We used TipRanks analyst ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/30/wall-street-analysts-say-buy-stocks-deere-advanced-micro-devices.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

These are the analysts with the highest success rate and average return per rating, taking into consideration the number of ratings published by each analyst.Here are top Wall Street analysts' five favorite stocks heading into June:Advanced Micro DevicesNorthland Capital analyst Gus Richard says it's to infinity and beyond for Advanced Micro Devices. In line with this optimistic take, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and $116 price target.Richard believes that the semiconductor name will have a solid Q2, but argues the real question is whether PC demand will slow as the economy re-opens. According to the analyst, the answer is yes, but points out that $AMD(AMD)$’s “better products” are helping it to take market share from Intel.“One of the most difficult markets to penetrate is the corporate client. In CY19 Intel was short on 14nm capacity and late on 10nm and this limited its ability to meet demand opening the door for AMD in the corporate market. We estimate that AMD currently has a 5% to 7% share of the higher-margin corporate client market and expect its share to accelerate as corporations dual source,” Richard explained.Additionally, based on Intel’s recent results and the analyst’s industry checks, Intel has been focused on low-end Chromebooks, and “these dynamics bode well for a strong 2H for AMD in the client market,” in Richard’s opinion.With this in mind, Richard argues that over the next few years, AMD’s revenue share in the PC clients market will reach around 50%, from 20% currently. It also is in the second year of a game console product cycle, which the analyst believes could lead to an improvement in gross margins for this segment.It should also be noted thatAMDhas an advantage in the x86 server space. “We believe leadership in the x86 market is driven primarily by process technology and to a lesser extent design differentiation. INTC is chasing government money to build foundries in the US putting it into competition with TSMC. While INTC has struck a longterm supply agreement with TSMC they are also becoming a competitor to TSMC. It is in TSMC’s best interest to favor AMD over INTC as it will get all of AMD’s lead edge logic business,” Richard commented.Landing a top 40 spot on TipRanks’ list of best-performing analysts, Richard boasts a 71% success rate and 33.8% average return per rating.AmedisysOperating in the healthcare services space,Amedisys offers home healthcare (HH), hospice services and disease management programs.According to Oppenheimer’s Michael Wiederhorn, the company’s “growth story remains on track,” prompting the analyst to maintain a Buy rating. In addition, he left the $325 price target as is.“We hosted meetings with Amedisys and believe the company remains well-positioned for growth in the post-pandemic era, driven by organic opportunities as it bulks up its BD staff and leverages opportunities to further penetrate existing markets with its sizable hospice platform, which included ~$600 million in acquired hospice revenues,” Wiederhorn noted.Across both of its main segments, trends have been bouncing back, with elective procedures moving toward 100% of baseline. As for the hospice business,Amedisys’ primary focus is on admissions, but Wiederhorn points out that LOS issues might have normalized.Some investors have expressed concern about labor inflation, but Wiederhorn doesn’t see this as a significant issue. The analyst tells investors that “despite the ongoing noise in the marketplace,” labor inflation is under control and management is watching the wage environment.“Amedisys has continued to generate low turnover rates (15%) that are well below the market and historical levels (40%) due in large part to its predictive analytics that identify vulnerable employees,” Wiederhorn added.When it comes to M&A, the company is “optimistic on the longer-term upside from home health M&A, as the myriad of pandemic-related benefits, including sequestration, payroll tax, Medicare accelerated payments, CARES Act money and the RAP impact, are set to expire,” says Wiederhorn. He also points out that Amedisys has made a significant effort to establish partnerships which “leverage its high quality scores.”“The company spoke positively regarding its SNF @ Home Partnership with Sound Physicians, which deploys some form of capitation, while its Fresenius dialysis partnership has partial capitation,” Wiederhorn stated.Thanks to his 76% success rate and 23.6% average return per rating, Wiederhorn is ranked #34 out of over 7,000 analysts tracked by TipRanks.DeereEven though Deere bumped up its outlook for 2021, Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann thinks these estimates “could prove conservative.” With this in mind, the top analyst reiterated a Buy rating. In addition, he gave the price target a lift, with the figure moving from $400 to $450.When trying to call Deere’s next peak, it is “complicated,” in Volkmann’s opinion. “First, management’s commentary around the cycle – both Large and Small Ag business at roughly 110-115% of mid-cycle – excludes the last supercycle and therefore undercounts the potential. Second, we estimate overall ASPs have increased 40-50% since the 2013 peak through a combination of emissions regulations, increased technology content, and normal inflation,” the analyst explained.So, what’s the bottom line? Volkmann estimates that the total potential revenue is $55 billion, and at 20% EBIT margin, this amounts to $30 in earnings power, not including additional capital employment.According to the management team at Deere, for 2021, consolidated sales are set to rise 23.5%-28.5% (compared to the previous 16%-25% estimate), with this factoring in FX and pricing tailwinds.Volkmann points out that although the company is benefitting from commodity price inflation, management has warned about a $750 million freight/logistics and material costs headwind for the rest of this year. In addition, given that the 2021 order book is filled, it might be hard for Deere to cover additional increases. That being said, the analyst argues “pricing was the standout message of the quarter, adding roughly 6 percentage points to F1H growth and 5-plus points to the full-year outlook.”What’s more, Deere is evaluating additional structural changes, with this potentially including overseas footprint consolidations and closures. Its key priorities are to streamline the organizational structure, make “more focused capital allocation decisions geared toward the higher-growth, higher-margin portion of the portfolio,” expand the aftermarket opportunity and increase Wirtgen synergies.Volkmann lands a top 100 ranking as a result of his 74% success rate and 25.8% average return per rating.ZscalerCalling Zscaler’s latest quarterly performance “another jaw dropper,” Wedbush’s Daniel Ives remains very much with the bulls. To this end, the analyst kept a Buy rating and $240 price target on the cloud-based information security company.Looking at the print, billings gained 71% and surpassed the consensus estimate by 20%-plus, with Ives noting its “clear that the zero trust shift is hitting another gear of growth with ZS leading the charge.”Expounding on this, Ives stated, “While the bears and skeptics on ZS threw the company in the ‘WFH growth tailing off crew’ over the last few months, we continue to view this is a zero trust cloud transformation name that will see massive growth prospects for the foreseeable future as the company is essentially the only game in town on enterprise scale zero trust cyber security deployments.”Arguing that Zscaleris in the “drivers seat” when it comes to the cloud cyber security shift over the next ten years, Ives believes that the current IT landscape has ramped up the company’s ability to capitalize on the opportunity.“In our opinion, ZS is the best pure play in the cloud security arena, which we believe is still in the very early innings of taking off with overall hybrid cloud workloads poised to meaningfully accelerate over the coming years and in this climate could see some strategic deals moved forward as the shift to cloud outside the firewall is catalyzing a handful of key sales cycles,” Ives commented.According to the Wedbush analyst, the need to secure applications, data and consumers outside the firewall highlight the huge total addressable market.Summing it all up, Ives said, “To this point given last night’s results and our increased confidence in the ZS story, we believe a further re-rating is still in the cards over the next 12 to 18 months.”Ives’ stellar track record speaks for itself. The #73 rated analyst has delivered a 68% success rate and 30.4% average return per rating.AtriCureAtriCure has developed a portfolio of products for the surgical ablation of cardiac tissue to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in concomitant and stand-alone procedures.For BTIG analyst Marie Thibault, there are multiple reasons to be bullish on AtriCure’s long-term growth prospects. Bearing this in mind, the five-star analyst reiterated a Buy rating and a $76 price target.Recently, Thibault hosted a call with Dr. Michael Panutich, a cardiac electrophysiologist (EP) at the Hoag Heart & Vascular Institute, who has been performing the hybrid Convergent procedure, which involves endocardial catheter ablation and epicardial ablation using AtriCure’s EPi-Sense Coagulation Device, since 2017. Given that the FDA has approved the EPi-Sense device in long-standing persistent AF, Dr. Panutich believes that the number of hospitals adopting and marketing the procedure will grow.On top of this, Thibault points out that the FDA approval could make it easier to secure reimbursement, as “fewer insurers will be able to push back on the treatment as being ‘experimental’ or require a failed ablation first.”“This discussion left us with the impression that ATRC’s minimally invasive franchise is poised for robust growth, that careful training will be key to continued success with the Convergent procedure, and that the AF field will continue to be a source of clinical progress,” Thibault commented.What else is driving Thibault’s confidence? The analyst highlights the ongoing momentum for AtriClip, AtriCure’s product designed for use in the occlusion of the left atrial appendage, one of the most common sources of stroke. She is also expecting to see new verticals like cryoablation contribute to revenue generation.Thibault sports an impressive 65.8% average return per rating, helping her to earn a #127 ranking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":429,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137903682,"gmtCreate":1622277465046,"gmtModify":1704182636107,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583915917451734","idStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/137903682","repostId":"2138948877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138948877","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"The leading daily newsletter for the latest financial and business news. 33Yrs Helping Stock Investors with Investing Insights, Tools, News & More.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Investors","id":"1085713068","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c"},"pubTimestamp":1622215813,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138948877?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-28 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138948877","media":"Investors","summary":"Vacation trends reveal shifts toward privacy, luxury and family, continuing a transformative period for leisure and travel stocks.","content":"<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same. For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle.

A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly.

Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago.

Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy.

That puts the movie-theater chain’s market capitalization at roughly $16 billion, more than 15 times what it was in 2018, a record-breaking year at the box office.&nbsp;Shares were up another 34%, to $42.92, in premarket trading Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Even if investors missed an inflection point, though, the math doesn’t add up.

But it wouldn’t be the first time. The industry essentially went belly up at the turn of the millennium. Regal Cinemas, for instance, declared bankruptcy in 2001.</p>\n<p>Back then, the industry had plenty of capacity because of a new theater design—stadium seating that gave a better view of the screen. That shift meant movie theater chains had to renovate or risk losing all their patrons to movie theaters that offered the better view. In the end, too many seats and not enough patrons meant the return on the stadium-seating investments never materialized.</p>\n<p>The upshot was consolidation. With fewer operators, the number of screens stabilized. Between 2002 and 2007, Regal Cinemas became a cash-generating machine because the stock was mispriced. The stock returned 21% a year on average. The S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both returned less than 9% a year on average over the same period.</p>\n<p>In those days, Regal Cinema’s enterprise value about $5 billion, or about 50% of total U.S. box office sales. That’s far short of AMC today. Something new has to be different for AMC to be worth it.</p>\n<p>Maybe the movie theater business is going to go through another period of consolidation, which can usher in another golden age of returns. AMC’s Tuesday gains, in fact, were catalyzed by new capital raised so the company could go on the offensive, acquiring defunct chains. Monopolies, after all, can be good for stock returns.</p>\n<p>If AMC can increase market share and the U.S. box office sales can return to 2018 levels in a few years, total sales at might be $9 billion—$6 billion from tickets and $3 billion from concessions. Sales in 2018 amounted to $5.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Then, with better gross profit margins derived from larger scale, AMC might be able to generate $600 million in free cash flow annually, which puts the stock at about a 4% free cash flow yield. The S&amp;P 500 trades for about a 3% free cash flow yield. The numbers can work—if they’re stretched.</p>\n<p>There are problems with this scenario, though. There are lots of ifs and mights—and AMC has never generated cash flow like that in the past. Arriving at $600 million in free cash flow is more about justifying current valuations than predicting what is likely.</p>\n<p>Also, with mergers and acquisitions, AMC market shares might rise, but there are still competitors. Regal Cinemas is still out there, owned by Cineworld Holdings (CINE. London). So is Cinemark (CNK). There’s not a true monopoly.</p>\n<p>AMC and its peers have to deal with streaming, too. Windows for exclusive theater showings are shrinking. The pandemic has accelerated that. And if AMC gets too large and demanding for movie makers, the talent can always go to streaming faster, hurting box office sales.</p>\n<p>There is also the problem of the peer stocks. They aren’t trading like this is a brave new world for theaters. Cineworld stock is up 484% from its 52-week low, but shares are still off 72% from all-time highs. Cinemark shares are up 222% from their 52-week low. They are down 47% from their all-time high.</p>\n<p>AMC stock, again, is up almost 1,600% from its 52-week low and is down just 13% from its May all-time high.</p>\n<p>Wall Street just doesn’t see the potential either. Nine analysts cover the stock. The average analyst price target is about $5. Before the pandemic, the average analyst price target was $15. But there were fewer shares back then. The old target enterprise value was roughly $7 billion. It’s tough to get from $7 billion to $26 billion predicting better margins.</p>\n<p>Analysts do have positive free cash flow modeled, though–$13 million in 2022 and $90 million in 2023.

And so we just think that it's a little bit surprising they haven't enforced that monopoly.\"The number of Americans filing for new claims for unemployment benefits fell to 444,000 in the week ended May 15, down for the third straight time, suggesting job growth picked up this month, though companies still are desperate for workers.Wall Street's main indexes fell on Wednesday, extending losses since, after minutes from the Federal Reserve's meeting last month indicated some policymakers thought it would be appropriate to discuss easing of crisis-era support, such as tapering bond purchases, in upcoming meetings if the strong economic momentum is sustained.\"Right now really there is just one driver of the market, and that is the Fed and potential timing of tapering and quantitative easing,\" Hatfield added.Signs of rising inflation have increased bets that the Federal Reserve may tighten its policy soon, hitting rate-sensitive growth stocks that set the tech-heavy Nasdaq on track for its fifth consecutive weekly drop.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 188.11 points, or 0.55%, to 34,084.15, the S&P 500    gained 43.44 points, or 1.06%, to 4,159.12 and the Nasdaq Composite added 236.00 points, or 1.77%, to 13,535.74.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 9.30 billion shares, compared with the 10.05 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.Retailers were a weak spot. Ralph Lauren Corp dropped 7.01% after it forecast full-year sales below analysts' estimates, making it the largest percentage decliner on the S&P 500, Kohl's Corp slumped 10.17% after warning of a hit to its full-year profit margin from higher labor and shipping costs, as well as selling fewer products at full price.Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 2.25-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.42-to-1 ratio favored advancers.The S&P 500 posted 17 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 66 new highs and 28 new lows.Financial ReportsApplied Materials reports record sales as chip shortage boosts equipment businessRoss Stores Earnings, Revenue Beat in Q1","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197005580,"gmtCreate":1621407429240,"gmtModify":1704357122981,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583915917451734","idStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197005580","repostId":"2136999458","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136999458","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":1621372003,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2136999458?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 05:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street closes lower on weak telecom stocks despite strong retail earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136999458","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 18 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended down on Tuesday, slumping on a sharp decline in telecom stocks ","content":"<p>May 18 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended down on Tuesday, slumping on a sharp decline in telecom stocks and weak housing starts data that overshadowed better-than-expected earnings from Walmart and Home Depot.</p><p>AT&amp;T Inc&nbsp;shed 5.8%, among the biggest percentage decliners in the benchmark S&amp;P 500.

All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p>\n<p>Considering that Buffett already has a huge position in <b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b>, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.</p>\n<h2>3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again</h2>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in <b>PNC Financial Services Group</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>, in the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. </p>\n<p>Overall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.</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>Here Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021</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\">\nHere Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-21 23:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","WFC":"富国银行","SYF":"Synchrony Financial","USB":"美国合众银行","BRK.A":"伯克希尔"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2137906121","content_text":"Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, Warren Buffett, made during the period.

Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. \nOverall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130104269,"gmtCreate":1621517579151,"gmtModify":1704358921289,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583915917451734","idStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/130104269","repostId":"1112197206","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112197206","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621510957,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112197206?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-20 19:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"DocuSign: The Leading E-Signature Player Is Still Expensive","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112197206","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDocuSign is the world leader in e-signatures, but it also faces a very strong competitor wi","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>DocuSign is the world leader in e-signatures, but it also faces a very strong competitor with a wide moat in Adobe.</li>\n <li>Even though the company has the Agreement Cloud platform, e-signature subscriptions still form the large majority of its revenue.</li>\n <li>Adobe is also gaining traction in its product integrations, which would erode DocuSign’s most important differentiator: prebuilt integrations.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3c29ffbc4033cef2f67fd01ee145b59\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"512\"><span>Photo by Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Investment Thesis</b></p>\n<p>Although DocuSign’s (DOCU) price has corrected almost 36% from its all-time high, the stock is still priced at a premium. The company is undoubtedly a leading player in e-signature solutions, in a market that looks to be still very much in its early stages. However, a narrow moat, facing a very strong competitor and a still expensive price should discourage investors to add the stock now.</p>\n<p><b>Company Overview</b></p>\n<p>DocuSign is the world leader in e-signature solutions with a&nbsp;market share exceeding 74%.</p>\n<p>The company operates a software platform called the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, which helps customers to automate their end-to-end agreement process digitally: Prepare, sign, act, manage, in which the flagship e-signature platform is an important part of. DOCU&nbsp;believes&nbsp;that currently the Agreement Cloud is the only platform in the market that can perform the end-to-end integration of the agreement process.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34da817c635be30cf0373974497ab639\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"666\"><span>DOCU Agreement Cloud. Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021</span></p>\n<p>Therefore, DOCU believes the Agreement Cloud is the company’s unique selling point, a software category in which DOCU created, allowing the company to have a clear first mover advantage over its key competitors, leveraging on its huge market share leadership in e-signature to land-and-expand to the other services within the Agreement Cloud. DOCU believes that every business is a potential customer: “We believe everybody is going to have an Agreement Cloud. Doesn't matter if you're an enterprise customer or a small business. It's just a matter of time.” (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)</p>\n<p>Currently, the company has about 890,000 customers in the U.S., of which 250,000 are enterprise and commercial customers served by its direct sales teams, and the rest of the very small businesses (VSBs) on the low-touch self-service digital channel. DOCU’s current market penetration rate is still in the low single digits, giving DOCU huge potential to grow and expand its product adoption to the rest of the market.</p>\n<p>DOCU believes that its product has immense brand recognition and global reach, as its e-signature product recorded close to 1 billion signers globally, thus providing the company wide access to potential leads who have already used the product.</p>\n<p>One of the key advantages of its e-signature product is its&nbsp;“unmatched integration”&nbsp;with its customers’ existing platforms and applications offered by major providers such as Google (GOOGL,GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL),Salesforce (CRM),SAPand Workday(WDAY), among others. In fact, the company has over 350 pre-built integrations, giving its flagship product a huge competitive advantage over even its closest competitor such as Adobe Sign (ADBE). (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)</p>\n<p>Even though the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a strong tailwind driving the company’s growth for FY 21, DOCU strongly believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has merely accelerated the digital transformation journey of the agreements process that had already begun well before the pandemic hit. Therefore, the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s business moving forward remains well intact.</p>\n<p><b>Financials</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80d22be64355c23b853f54b3aada0a81\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"188\"><span>DOCU’s Revenue Growth YoY. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Investors can clearly observe that the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s high revenue growth rates had begun well before COVID-19 hit, even though the pandemic provided a strong tailwind for the company as it registered a 49.2% YoY revenue growth for FY 21.</p>\n<p>U.S. revenue accounted for 80% of FY 21 revenue, while international revenue accounted for 20%. Subscriptions accounted for 95% of the revenue base, with a significant majority of the revenue attributed to the flagship e-signature product, even though the exact figures were not disclosed.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/027221068efbee7d0a085b063871aadc\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"210\"><span>DOCU’s Gross Margin. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Gross margins have also been fairly consistent and came in at 75.4% (Non-GAAP 79%) for FY 21. This clearly shows that DOCU’s e-signature product has considerable pricing power, and unlikely to be a near term concern. The company is also not expecting any significant competitive threat as it also guided towards a long term Non-GAAP gross margin profile of between 79% and 82%, largely in line with FY 21 results.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13a36ca94cebc50b2c7c37997f0e9dc6\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"507\"><span>DOCU’s OPEX. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Since the company relies mainly on its direct sales teams for the enterprise and commercial revenue segment, which formed about 88% of FY 21 revenue, investors should not be surprised to see a large component attributed to Sales and Marketing spend. What’s of concern though is the size of DOCU’s sales and marketing spend, which has been consistently high, from 53.6% to 77% of revenue between FY 17 to FY 21. FY 21’s spend came in at the lower end of the range at 55% of revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a024dd596ff954501165681cc4bc6ebb\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"146\"><span>ZM’s Sales &amp; Marketing Spend. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>A quick glance over toZM, which also relies mainly on its direct sales teams to drive revenue shows that such high sales and marketing spend is not an anomaly (see chart above), and is rather characteristic of the company’s choice of channel distribution. Nevertheless, it would still be important to achieve efficiencies in this area, and it would be a major concern if the spend in future years edged up towards the high seen in FY 19. However, the company guided towards a lower percentage of sales and marketing spend in future FYs, and it would be an important area for investors to continue monitoring moving forward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b7a454f9d5ea465fd593c031e2661266\" tg-width=\"998\" tg-height=\"544\"><span>DOCU’s OPEX trend. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>What’s useful for investors to note though is that the company’s operating efficiencies has since improved since FY 19, and DOCU guided for further improvement moving forward, aiming for a long-term Non-GAAP OPEX of between 56% to 64% of revenue. FY 21’s OPEX was 89% of revenue while Non-GAAP OPEX was 67% of revenue. Given the large differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP measures, investors may wish to consider the reconciliation (see table below).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62ee12b0e5378de55e5f86777f475a3c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"339\"><span>DOCU’s Operating Profit reconciliation. Source: DOCU 10-K</span></p>\n<p>While investors may continue to use Non-GAAP measures to evaluate the company’s core operating performance against the management’s long term Non-GAAP guidance, I would prefer to keep the analysis using GAAP measures for DOCU, especially since some of the expenses excluded from their operating performance seem fairly large and recurring.</p>\n<p>As a result, it may also be useful to note that DOCU has yet to turn an operating profit even though their operating loss has significantly narrowed since 2019 to -14.2% for FY 21.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a95db8c12ad0929877e6adea66db9c9\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"640\"><span>DOCU’s FCF margin. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>Despite that, DOCU has done well on its FCF profile, as its FCF margin improved to 14.8% in FY 21. One issue I have with DOCU’s FCF is that it’s very heavily reliant on stock-based compensation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beeb5dd4209f64adb3ff942ebf4d2376\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"678\"><span>DOCU’s CFO. Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p>I would prefer to see its CFO well balanced between core operating activities, and non-cash operating expenses. In this case, investors can see the skewed contribution from non-cash operating expenses, especially stock-based compensation on its CFO. For FY 21, stock-based compensation was $286.9M while CFO was $297M. Stock-based compensation was also considerably large in the previous FYs when compared with its CFO.</p>\n<p>For FY 22, DOCU guided towards $1.96B to $1.97B in revenue, which represents an expected 34.9% to 35.6% YoY growth (see below).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c1892110e6d19c887d1f8ae5a74719ae\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"242\"><span>DOCU Revenue Guidance.

Data Source: S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</span></p>\n<p><b>Key Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p>With such high expectations from the sell-side, and the company, investors should closely analyse DOCU’s key sources of future growth, in order to determine the visibility of the growth profile moving forward.</p>\n<p>DOCU believes that it operates within an enlarged TAM of $50B, of which $26B is made up of its e-signature product, and rest from the other solutions within the Agreement Cloud. Importantly, the company believes the majority of its TAM lies outside of the U.S.. Therefore, the company’s growth strategies towards capturing the growth in international markets would be of key importance, especially since the current penetration rate is lower than that of the U.S. market.</p>\n<p>With DOCU’s FY 21 revenue of $1.453B, investors may conclude that the company is still in the very early stages of capturing their TAM, and should continue to expect the company to show consistently high revenue growth rates moving forward. Any unexpected slowdown should be carefully investigated.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/590aacfa313e4676ad2ae0075ae4db6b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"700\"><span>DOCU’s TAM.

Source: Atom Finance</span></p>\n<p>DOCU’s DBNRR of 123%, while fairly high, is in line with the median DBNRR of its SaaS peers. In the near term, I expect DOCU’s DBNRR to be driven mainly by the expansion of use cases of its e-signature product within its current customer base. The company highlighted that although “Our largest and most advanced customers have hundreds of use cases deployed, but the vast majority of our customers have only deployed a few use cases.” Therefore the company expects a high potential for significant expansion of use cases within their customer base, especially for their enterprise and commercial customers. (Source DOCU 10-K). Since the company’s revenue is largely driven by its e-signature flagship, I would expect this to be of high importance to continuing driving DOCU’s DBNRR while the company continues to encourage further adoption of its other services within the Agreement Cloud.</p>\n<p>In the other solutions of the Agreement Cloud space, DOCU is particularly bullish on the Contract Lifecycle Management+ (CLM+) solution to drive its growth further. CLM+ “combines the three preceding products—CLM, Insight, and Analyzer—to provide AI-driven contract lifecycle management. The integration among the three products allows, for example, a contract to automatically be routed for review based on its risk score.” (Source: DOCU 10-K)</p>\n<p>Unilever, who is one of DOCU’s customers, also shared that the company found the CLM+ product to be a great productivity booster with its power data-driven analytics capability. DOCU also expects CLM+ to be a driver in revenue growth for FY 22, so investors should continue to pay attention to the performance of this product.</p>\n<p>Since the majority of DOCU’s TAM is international as explained earlier, investors should continue to monitor the company’s progress outside the U.S. Since International revenue accounted for 20% of FY 21 revenue, there’s substantial opportunities for growth. Although DOCU need to navigate the intricate country-specific or region-specific, language and legal requirements for its international expansion, the company emphasized that it has been working to “fine tune” those requirements with various third party providers, and don’t see them as major impediments to the company’s important global expansion plans. Prior to COVID-19, the main issue among its international opportunities was brand awareness. However, the pandemic has helped to significantly drive increased interest among customers in the international markets to seek solutions from DOCU to automate their agreements process. Therefore, DOCU should leverage on the strong brand momentum now to drive the growth in its global footprint. (Source: DOCU 10-K)</p>\n<p>One area of clear revenue visibility for DOCU is its RPOs. For FY 22, the company expects to recognize about 52% of its RPOs of $1.1B, which would translate to about $572M. This represents about 29% of the company’s FY 22 guidance. Investors should continue to monitor the company’s RPOs to evaluate the health of the company’s forward revenue visibility.</p>\n<p><b>Key Risks</b></p>\n<p>One of DOCU’s main competitors is none other than ADBE with its Adobe Sign product. Although DOCU is the clear leader in the e-signatures segment in terms of market share, Adobe Sign has also made significant progress, albeit from a lower base in the latest quarter,as it grew its revenue more than 50% YoY.</p>\n<p>ADBE is a software behemoth with clear leadership positions in many applications and possesses a huge competitive advantage, as it offers many integration tools as well for its customers. One of DOCU’s key differentiators is the 350 pre-built integrations for its e-signature product, which was also highlighted by one of its customers; Snowflake. However, ADBE emphasized that the company has also been making good progress in this area, which I believe may further erode DOCU’s key value proposition. ADBE emphasized the superiority of its PDF as its additional key differentiator:“the fact that PDF as a format continues to be the format that people are using for automating these workflows, I think the fact that we have Adobe Reader, which is the operating environment in which all of these workflows are happening.”</p>\n<p>ADBE also reminded investors not to take their PDF dominance lightly. The company compared DOCU’s contracts integration to ADBE’S PDF integration:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Imagine the total global number of PDF documents that exist in the world, billions, if not trillions. Imagine the market share of those documents that are contracts. We don't know -- I don't know what that number is, but everybody can sort of imagine that's -- the contracts are where DocuSign's business is really focused. But the entire rest of that pie is where we're focused. We're not -- it's not just about contracts. It's about every single type of presentation, every single type of PowerPoint deck, every single type of inter-office memo, all of those documents that teams collaborate on and need to store, take different actions on, we're trying to address that. It's a massive market opportunity. And we're really the only technology in the world that exists for -- that's really just thinking about teams being able to do every type of action they want to on those documents. (Source: Morgan Stanley Conference 18 May 21)\n</blockquote>\n<p>In addition, ADBE also highlighted a much smaller TAM of $10B in the e-signature space, as compared with DOCU’s $25B. I find it hard to reconcile such a vast difference between these two leading e-signature players, although ADBE agreed with DOCU that the e-signatures space is still very much in its infancy, and offers tremendous opportunities for the 2 leading enterprise players to grow.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, even though DOCU is the current leader in the e-signatures space in terms of market share, ADBE’s leadership in many other products, and its PDF dominance give ADBE an extremely wide moat, and a real competitor to challenge DOCU. I would be hard pressed to assign a wide moat to DOCU, and find the company probably deserves a narrow moat at best.</p>\n<p><b>Valuations</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eae14455bf0889d8e60ca8871f341f1a\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"363\"><span>EV / Fwd Rev.

As of now, I’m still monitoring for an optimal buy entry point.</p>\n<p>Investors who are still biding their time for a long term position should note that there’s no apparent support level below $185, besides $65. If the price breaks down $185, some amount of price discovery may likely take place to establish a support level, after which may then offer some resolutions on a buy point thereafter.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>DOCU is the leading e-signatures player in a space that’s still very early in its growth. The digital transformation tailwind is expected to continue powering its growth in this segment. Despite that, investors should factor in the company’s narrow moat, while facing a strong wide moat competitor in ADBE when deciding to add this leader at the current price.</p>","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>DocuSign: The Leading E-Signature Player Is Still Expensive</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\">\nDocuSign: The Leading E-Signature Player Is Still Expensive\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-20 19:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4430124-docusign-leading-e-signature-player-still-expensive><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nDocuSign is the world leader in e-signatures, but it also faces a very strong competitor with a wide moat in Adobe.\nEven though the company has the Agreement Cloud platform, e-signature ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4430124-docusign-leading-e-signature-player-still-expensive\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"DOCU":"Docusign"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4430124-docusign-leading-e-signature-player-still-expensive","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1112197206","content_text":"Summary\n\nDocuSign is the world leader in e-signatures, but it also faces a very strong competitor with a wide moat in Adobe.\nEven though the company has the Agreement Cloud platform, e-signature subscriptions still form the large majority of its revenue.\nAdobe is also gaining traction in its product integrations, which would erode DocuSign’s most important differentiator: prebuilt integrations.\n\nPhoto by Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nInvestment Thesis\nAlthough DocuSign’s (DOCU) price has corrected almost 36% from its all-time high, the stock is still priced at a premium.

DOCU believes that currently the Agreement Cloud is the only platform in the market that can perform the end-to-end integration of the agreement process.\nDOCU Agreement Cloud. Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021\nTherefore, DOCU believes the Agreement Cloud is the company’s unique selling point, a software category in which DOCU created, allowing the company to have a clear first mover advantage over its key competitors, leveraging on its huge market share leadership in e-signature to land-and-expand to the other services within the Agreement Cloud. DOCU believes that every business is a potential customer: “We believe everybody is going to have an Agreement Cloud. Doesn't matter if you're an enterprise customer or a small business. It's just a matter of time.” (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)\nCurrently, the company has about 890,000 customers in the U.S., of which 250,000 are enterprise and commercial customers served by its direct sales teams, and the rest of the very small businesses (VSBs) on the low-touch self-service digital channel. DOCU’s current market penetration rate is still in the low single digits, giving DOCU huge potential to grow and expand its product adoption to the rest of the market.\nDOCU believes that its product has immense brand recognition and global reach, as its e-signature product recorded close to 1 billion signers globally, thus providing the company wide access to potential leads who have already used the product.\nOne of the key advantages of its e-signature product is its “unmatched integration” with its customers’ existing platforms and applications offered by major providers such as Google (GOOGL,GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Oracle (ORCL),Salesforce (CRM),SAPand Workday(WDAY), among others. In fact, the company has over 350 pre-built integrations, giving its flagship product a huge competitive advantage over even its closest competitor such as Adobe Sign (ADBE). (Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021)\nEven though the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a strong tailwind driving the company’s growth for FY 21, DOCU strongly believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has merely accelerated the digital transformation journey of the agreements process that had already begun well before the pandemic hit. Therefore, the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s business moving forward remains well intact.\nFinancials\nDOCU’s Revenue Growth YoY. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nInvestors can clearly observe that the digital transformation theme driving DOCU’s high revenue growth rates had begun well before COVID-19 hit, even though the pandemic provided a strong tailwind for the company as it registered a 49.2% YoY revenue growth for FY 21.\nU.S. revenue accounted for 80% of FY 21 revenue, while international revenue accounted for 20%. Subscriptions accounted for 95% of the revenue base, with a significant majority of the revenue attributed to the flagship e-signature product, even though the exact figures were not disclosed.\nDOCU’s Gross Margin. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nGross margins have also been fairly consistent and came in at 75.4% (Non-GAAP 79%) for FY 21. This clearly shows that DOCU’s e-signature product has considerable pricing power, and unlikely to be a near term concern. The company is also not expecting any significant competitive threat as it also guided towards a long term Non-GAAP gross margin profile of between 79% and 82%, largely in line with FY 21 results.\nDOCU’s OPEX. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nSince the company relies mainly on its direct sales teams for the enterprise and commercial revenue segment, which formed about 88% of FY 21 revenue, investors should not be surprised to see a large component attributed to Sales and Marketing spend. What’s of concern though is the size of DOCU’s sales and marketing spend, which has been consistently high, from 53.6% to 77% of revenue between FY 17 to FY 21. FY 21’s spend came in at the lower end of the range at 55% of revenue.\nZM’s Sales & Marketing Spend. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nA quick glance over toZM, which also relies mainly on its direct sales teams to drive revenue shows that such high sales and marketing spend is not an anomaly (see chart above), and is rather characteristic of the company’s choice of channel distribution. Nevertheless, it would still be important to achieve efficiencies in this area, and it would be a major concern if the spend in future years edged up towards the high seen in FY 19. However, the company guided towards a lower percentage of sales and marketing spend in future FYs, and it would be an important area for investors to continue monitoring moving forward.\nDOCU’s OPEX trend. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nWhat’s useful for investors to note though is that the company’s operating efficiencies has since improved since FY 19, and DOCU guided for further improvement moving forward, aiming for a long-term Non-GAAP OPEX of between 56% to 64% of revenue. FY 21’s OPEX was 89% of revenue while Non-GAAP OPEX was 67% of revenue. Given the large differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP measures, investors may wish to consider the reconciliation (see table below).\nDOCU’s Operating Profit reconciliation. Source: DOCU 10-K\nWhile investors may continue to use Non-GAAP measures to evaluate the company’s core operating performance against the management’s long term Non-GAAP guidance, I would prefer to keep the analysis using GAAP measures for DOCU, especially since some of the expenses excluded from their operating performance seem fairly large and recurring.\nAs a result, it may also be useful to note that DOCU has yet to turn an operating profit even though their operating loss has significantly narrowed since 2019 to -14.2% for FY 21.\nDOCU’s FCF margin. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nDespite that, DOCU has done well on its FCF profile, as its FCF margin improved to 14.8% in FY 21. One issue I have with DOCU’s FCF is that it’s very heavily reliant on stock-based compensation.\nDOCU’s CFO. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nI would prefer to see its CFO well balanced between core operating activities, and non-cash operating expenses. In this case, investors can see the skewed contribution from non-cash operating expenses, especially stock-based compensation on its CFO. For FY 21, stock-based compensation was $286.9M while CFO was $297M. Stock-based compensation was also considerably large in the previous FYs when compared with its CFO.\nFor FY 22, DOCU guided towards $1.96B to $1.97B in revenue, which represents an expected 34.9% to 35.6% YoY growth (see below).\nDOCU Revenue Guidance. Source: ATOM Finance\nWall Street’s consensus are leading towards the high end of the guidance, and the expectations for high forward revenue growth in the next few FYs for DOCU remain strong.\nDOCU Wall Street mean estimates for Revenue Growth. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nKey Growth Drivers\nWith such high expectations from the sell-side, and the company, investors should closely analyse DOCU’s key sources of future growth, in order to determine the visibility of the growth profile moving forward.\nDOCU believes that it operates within an enlarged TAM of $50B, of which $26B is made up of its e-signature product, and rest from the other solutions within the Agreement Cloud. Importantly, the company believes the majority of its TAM lies outside of the U.S.. Therefore, the company’s growth strategies towards capturing the growth in international markets would be of key importance, especially since the current penetration rate is lower than that of the U.S. market.\nWith DOCU’s FY 21 revenue of $1.453B, investors may conclude that the company is still in the very early stages of capturing their TAM, and should continue to expect the company to show consistently high revenue growth rates moving forward. Any unexpected slowdown should be carefully investigated.\nDOCU’s TAM. Source: DOCU Analyst Day 2021\nSaaS DBNRR. Source: Atom Finance\nDOCU’s DBNRR of 123%, while fairly high, is in line with the median DBNRR of its SaaS peers. In the near term, I expect DOCU’s DBNRR to be driven mainly by the expansion of use cases of its e-signature product within its current customer base. The company highlighted that although “Our largest and most advanced customers have hundreds of use cases deployed, but the vast majority of our customers have only deployed a few use cases.” Therefore the company expects a high potential for significant expansion of use cases within their customer base, especially for their enterprise and commercial customers. (Source DOCU 10-K). Since the company’s revenue is largely driven by its e-signature flagship, I would expect this to be of high importance to continuing driving DOCU’s DBNRR while the company continues to encourage further adoption of its other services within the Agreement Cloud.\nIn the other solutions of the Agreement Cloud space, DOCU is particularly bullish on the Contract Lifecycle Management+ (CLM+) solution to drive its growth further. CLM+ “combines the three preceding products—CLM, Insight, and Analyzer—to provide AI-driven contract lifecycle management. The integration among the three products allows, for example, a contract to automatically be routed for review based on its risk score.” (Source: DOCU 10-K)\nUnilever, who is one of DOCU’s customers, also shared that the company found the CLM+ product to be a great productivity booster with its power data-driven analytics capability. DOCU also expects CLM+ to be a driver in revenue growth for FY 22, so investors should continue to pay attention to the performance of this product.\nSince the majority of DOCU’s TAM is international as explained earlier, investors should continue to monitor the company’s progress outside the U.S. Since International revenue accounted for 20% of FY 21 revenue, there’s substantial opportunities for growth. Although DOCU need to navigate the intricate country-specific or region-specific, language and legal requirements for its international expansion, the company emphasized that it has been working to “fine tune” those requirements with various third party providers, and don’t see them as major impediments to the company’s important global expansion plans. Prior to COVID-19, the main issue among its international opportunities was brand awareness. However, the pandemic has helped to significantly drive increased interest among customers in the international markets to seek solutions from DOCU to automate their agreements process. Therefore, DOCU should leverage on the strong brand momentum now to drive the growth in its global footprint. (Source: DOCU 10-K)\nOne area of clear revenue visibility for DOCU is its RPOs. For FY 22, the company expects to recognize about 52% of its RPOs of $1.1B, which would translate to about $572M. This represents about 29% of the company’s FY 22 guidance. Investors should continue to monitor the company’s RPOs to evaluate the health of the company’s forward revenue visibility.\nKey Risks\nOne of DOCU’s main competitors is none other than ADBE with its Adobe Sign product. Although DOCU is the clear leader in the e-signatures segment in terms of market share, Adobe Sign has also made significant progress, albeit from a lower base in the latest quarter,as it grew its revenue more than 50% YoY.\nADBE is a software behemoth with clear leadership positions in many applications and possesses a huge competitive advantage, as it offers many integration tools as well for its customers. One of DOCU’s key differentiators is the 350 pre-built integrations for its e-signature product, which was also highlighted by one of its customers; Snowflake. However, ADBE emphasized that the company has also been making good progress in this area, which I believe may further erode DOCU’s key value proposition. ADBE emphasized the superiority of its PDF as its additional key differentiator:“the fact that PDF as a format continues to be the format that people are using for automating these workflows, I think the fact that we have Adobe Reader, which is the operating environment in which all of these workflows are happening.”\nADBE also reminded investors not to take their PDF dominance lightly. The company compared DOCU’s contracts integration to ADBE’S PDF integration:\n\n Imagine the total global number of PDF documents that exist in the world, billions, if not trillions. Imagine the market share of those documents that are contracts. We don't know -- I don't know what that number is, but everybody can sort of imagine that's -- the contracts are where DocuSign's business is really focused. But the entire rest of that pie is where we're focused. We're not -- it's not just about contracts. It's about every single type of presentation, every single type of PowerPoint deck, every single type of inter-office memo, all of those documents that teams collaborate on and need to store, take different actions on, we're trying to address that. It's a massive market opportunity. And we're really the only technology in the world that exists for -- that's really just thinking about teams being able to do every type of action they want to on those documents. (Source: Morgan Stanley Conference 18 May 21)\n\nIn addition, ADBE also highlighted a much smaller TAM of $10B in the e-signature space, as compared with DOCU’s $25B. I find it hard to reconcile such a vast difference between these two leading e-signature players, although ADBE agreed with DOCU that the e-signatures space is still very much in its infancy, and offers tremendous opportunities for the 2 leading enterprise players to grow.\nNevertheless, even though DOCU is the current leader in the e-signatures space in terms of market share, ADBE’s leadership in many other products, and its PDF dominance give ADBE an extremely wide moat, and a real competitor to challenge DOCU. I would be hard pressed to assign a wide moat to DOCU, and find the company probably deserves a narrow moat at best.\nValuations\nEV / Fwd Rev. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nAt the current price, DOCU still trades at a premium to its wide-moat competitor; ADBE. Despite that, if DOCU is able to achieve its expected growth rate (see table below) moving forward, its valuations could be in line with ADBE in future FYs.\nFwd Rev Growth. Data Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence\nHowever, given DOCU’s narrow moat, and facing a very strong competitor in ADBE, I don’t find the current valuation attractive, and am of the opinion that DOCU is still expensive.\nPrice Action and Technical Analysis\nSource: TradingView\nAfter falling close to 36% from its all-time high, DOCU has been consolidating along its long term uptrend, and is now at the key support level at $185.\nThis is a possible technical buy point for investors who are bullish and would like to initiate or add more positions.\nAs I explained earlier that I believe DOCU is still expensive at current valuations, I may enter DOCU instead as a short term swing trade with clearly defined exit (take profit / stop loss) points, instead of an investment. As of now, I’m still monitoring for an optimal buy entry point.\nInvestors who are still biding their time for a long term position should note that there’s no apparent support level below $185, besides $65. If the price breaks down $185, some amount of price discovery may likely take place to establish a support level, after which may then offer some resolutions on a buy point thereafter.\nConclusion\nDOCU is the leading e-signatures player in a space that’s still very early in its growth. The digital transformation tailwind is expected to continue powering its growth in this segment. Despite that, investors should factor in the company’s narrow moat, while facing a strong wide moat competitor in ADBE when deciding to add this leader at the current price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":333,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195702333,"gmtCreate":1621312754722,"gmtModify":1704355622115,"author":{"id":"3583915917451734","authorId":"3583915917451734","name":"HisyamSapuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b078dba2ef9bd2456ed7a96b2f764b80","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583915917451734","idStr":"3583915917451734"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/195702333","repostId":"1126909753","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126909753","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621307588,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126909753?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-18 11:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Online luxury goods marketplace 1stdibs.com files for a $100 million IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126909753","media":"renaissancecap...","summary":"1stdibs.com, an e-commerce platform for artwork, jewelry, antiques, and other luxury goods, filed on","content":"<p>1stdibs.com, an e-commerce platform for artwork, jewelry, antiques, and other luxury goods, filed on Monday with the SEC to raise up to $100 million in an initial public offering.</p>\n<p>1stDibs is an online marketplace that connects design lovers with the best sellers and makers of vintage, antique, and contemporary furniture, home decor, jewelry, watches, art, and fashion.
