The Depop brand strengthens the company's stranglehold on \"special\" e-commerce, where 88% of buyers said they find products on Etsy that they can't find anywhere else. But wait, there's more.

To understand what's happening with the share price requires a look at some of the provisions in the company's lock-up agreement.</p>\n<p>The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger between Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings V and Social Finance was completed on May 28, and SoFi Technologies began trading on June 1. The completion of that merger started the clock ticking on the company's traditional lockup period of 180 days -- the period after which insiders and early investors could sell the stock.</p>\n<p>There were some unusual provisions included in the lock-up agreement, however, that would trigger an early end to the lock-up period for a large chunk of the shares.</p>\n<p>If SoFi stock traded above $12.50 for any 20 days during a 30-day period, 33% of the shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. For context, SoFi opened at $22.97 on June 1 and never traded below the $12.50 threshold for the entire month -- thus triggering the early release of 33% of the shares from the lock-up period.</p>\n<p>The second provision stated that if SoFi stock traded above $15 any 20 days during a 30-day period, an additional 50% of shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. SoFi stock never traded below $18.50 per share during the month of June -- triggering the early release of another 50% of shares subject to the lock-up.</p>\n<p>The flood of new shares on the market and short-selling that preceded the end of the lockup conspired to drive the stock price down. As of this writing, SoFi stock has fallen 37% from its high in early June. In cases like this, however, it's important to look to the company's business performance for insight into the future.</p>\n<p>In the first quarter, SoFi delivered revenue that grew 150% year over year, while some of its segments did even better. Its lending segment grew 105%, its technology business soared 45-fold, and its financial services segment jumped 200%. At the same time, SoFi generated its third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, setting the stage for future profitability.</p>\n<p>Other metrics illustrate the reasons for the company's surging revenue growth. Members grew 110% year over year, while its lending and financial services product offerings grew 12% and 273%, respectively.&nbsp; The number of accounts related to its Galileo financial services platform ballooned 130%.</p>\n<p>These metrics help illustrate that SoFi is firing on all cylinders. Investors should ignore the stock price decline related to the expiration of the lock-up agreement and buy shares now, while they're on sale.</p>\n<h2><b>This stock isn't melting down just yet&nbsp;</b></h2>\n<p><b>Chris Neiger (Snowflake):</b> Since the beginning of this year, shares of the cloud-based data platform company Snowflake have tumbled nearly 6%. The company's stock has taken a hit for several reasons that are worth a quick recap. Here are two:</p>\n<p>First, Snowflake's share price began falling in February as part of a broader sell-off of tech stocks in the market. Many investors poured money into tech stocks in 2020 as they looked for businesses that could still do well during pandemic-induced lockdowns.</p>\n<p>But then investors pivoted their attention away from tech stocks and toward other areas of the U.S. economy, sending Snowflake's and other tech companies' share prices tumbling.</p>\n<p>Second, some investors sold their Snowflake shares after the company reported its fiscal-year 2021 results in March. Sales spiked 124% from the previous year, but its net loss widened and some investors got scared Snowflake's run was over.</p>\n<p>While it's no surprise that investors don't like to see a company's losses widen, it appears that investors overlooked the company's&nbsp;impressive growth stats from its first quarter (reported in May) including having more than 100 customers who spend more than $1 million each with company every year.</p>\n<p>In fact, Snowflake is growing so fast that its management believes it will surpass $10 <i>billion</i> in product revenue by 2029.&nbsp;That impressive figure will be achieved by adding new customers and convincing them to continue spending more money on Snowflake's platform -- two things that are already happening.</p>\n<p>Snowflake now has 4,532 total customers and its net revenue retention rate is 168%. That means Snowflake's customers continue to see value from its services and continue to increase their spending with the company.</p>\n<p>With Snowflake still in the early stages of its growth, investors should remain patient with this company. The recent pullback from the company's share price is creating a buying opportunity for savvy investors -- and in the coming years, you'll likely be glad you added this tech stock to your portfolio.</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>3 Tech Stocks to Buy While They Are on Sale</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\">\n3 Tech Stocks to Buy While They Are on Sale\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-26 14:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/25/3-tech-stocks-to-buy-while-they-are-on-sale/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many technology stocks were big winners in 2020, but when the new year began investors seemed to lose a bit of their enthusiasm for the sector.

Sales spiked 124% from the previous year, but its net loss widened and some investors got scared Snowflake's run was over.\nWhile it's no surprise that investors don't like to see a company's losses widen, it appears that investors overlooked the company's impressive growth stats from its first quarter (reported in May) including having more than 100 customers who spend more than $1 million each with company every year.\nIn fact, Snowflake is growing so fast that its management believes it will surpass $10 billion in product revenue by 2029. That impressive figure will be achieved by adding new customers and convincing them to continue spending more money on Snowflake's platform -- two things that are already happening.\nSnowflake now has 4,532 total customers and its net revenue retention rate is 168%. That means Snowflake's customers continue to see value from its services and continue to increase their spending with the company.\nWith Snowflake still in the early stages of its growth, investors should remain patient with this company. The recent pullback from the company's share price is creating a buying opportunity for savvy investors -- and in the coming years, you'll likely be glad you added this tech stock to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":315,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800111597,"gmtCreate":1627286053919,"gmtModify":1703486723359,"author":{"id":"3584665778352604","authorId":"3584665778352604","name":"vtyy","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584665778352604","authorIdStr":"3584665778352604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yay","listText":"Yay","text":"Yay","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/800111597","repostId":"2154959317","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177626716,"gmtCreate":1627213401935,"gmtModify":1703485620049,"author":{"id":"3584665778352604","authorId":"3584665778352604","name":"vtyy","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584665778352604","authorIdStr":"3584665778352604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yay","listText":"Yay","text":"Yay","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/177626716","repostId":"2153388319","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153388319","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627088419,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153388319?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-24 09:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here are Wall Street's favorite big tech stocks as the Nasdaq closes in on another milestone","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153388319","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"As the Nasdaq Composite Index nears 15,000, analysts see upside for Activision Blizzard, Netflix and","content":"<p>As the Nasdaq Composite Index nears 15,000, analysts see upside for Activision Blizzard, Netflix and Baidu, among others</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c007522d36ee30fcaeab059a92a280e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"485\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Some 88% of analysts rate Activision Blizzard \"buy,\" and their consensus price target is 27% above the stock's closing price July 23.

Activision Blizzard</h2>\n<p>Activision Blizzard owns eight franchises that have achieved at least $1 billion in lifetime bookings.&nbsp;It's best known for making <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the most-played first-person shooters on the market in <i>Call of Duty</i>. A $1,000 investment in Activision stock in 2003, right after the first <i>Call of Duty</i> title was released,&nbsp;would be worth nearly $30,000 today.</p>\n<p>The <i>Call of Duty</i> franchise continues to grow. It's included in the company's Activision segment, which reached a record 150 million monthly active users (MAUs) in the first quarter.&nbsp;With seven other major franchises under its umbrella, Activision Blizzard sees an opportunity to improve those titles to more than double its MAUs to 1 billion.</p>\n<p>Making big-budget video game titles does require investing in thousands of employees and can involve significant marketing expenses, but many other aspects of production are not as capital intensive when compared to other industries. This allows top game companies that can sell millions of copies of new releases to produce robust amounts of free cash flow. Over the past four quarters, Activision Blizzard generated $2.8 billion in free cash flow on $8.5 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>It pays out less than a fifth of that free cash flow in dividends, bringing the current dividend yield to 0.52%. There's clearly potential for Activision to safely double or triple that yield by increasing the payout ratio over time.</p>\n<p>Activision Blizzard owns several franchises that each have a built-in base of millions of fans, including <i>World of Warcraft</i>, <i>Diablo</i>, and <i>Overwatch</i>. The company is well stocked with cash, with $9.3 billion on the balance sheet,&nbsp;which should provide plenty of capital to continue reinvesting for growth.</p>\n<h2>2. Electronic Arts</h2>\n<p>Electronic Arts is known for its EA Sports titles, most notably <i>Madden</i> and <i>FIFA</i>. EA added 42 million new players to its network during the pandemic. It&nbsp;has a total of 230 million players and viewers, but management is targeting 500 million over the next five years.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, EA has demonstrated the ability to bring out new hits. The free-to-play shooter <i>Apex Legends</i> launched in 2019&nbsp;and recently surpassed $1 billion in bookings.&nbsp;EA also revealed plans earlier this year to relaunch its previous <i>NCAA Football</i> franchise under the new title <i>EA Sports College Football</i>, which should be released within the next few years.</p>\n<p>EA's success in growing its sports business in recent years has left it with lots of cash to reinvest. It entered fiscal 2022 with $6.3 billion of cash and investments and has already put that to work.&nbsp;So far this year, EA has spent a combined $4.7 billion to buy Glu Mobile, Codemasters, and Playdemic.&nbsp;These studios bring their own game development prowess and popular titles to accelerate EA's&nbsp;expansion into mobile.</p>\n<p>In fiscal 2021, EA's free cash flow came to $1.8 billion on $5.6 billion of revenue. EA started paying a dividend within the last year,&nbsp;which signals management's confidence in its growth strategy. The quarterly dividend amounts to $0.17 per share, bringing the current dividend yield to 0.48%.&nbsp;The company's growing sports lineup and willingness to return capital to shareholders makes it a top video game stock to consider buying.</p>\n<h2>3. Tencent</h2>\n<p>Tencent is the largest video game company in the world by revenue and also operates the popular WeChat social media platform in China.&nbsp;It owns Riot Games,&nbsp;the operator of one of the top esports titles in the world in <i>League of Legends</i>. It also has ownership stakes in several other companies, including Epic Games and Activision Blizzard.</p>\n<p>Gaming makes up 29% of its annual revenue, with online advertising, fintech, and business services composing most of the balance. But gaming is Tencent's largest business segment. It's the diversity of revenue streams across fast-growing markets, including gaming and cloud services, that make it a stock worth keeping on your radar.</p>\n<p>Over the last four quarters, Tencent generated $18.5 billion in free cash flow.&nbsp;It has $39 billion of dry powder on the balance sheet,&nbsp;in addition to a portfolio of investees that was worth over $200 billion in the first quarter.&nbsp;That's a lot of firepower.</p>\n<p>Tencent compares the current state of the video game industry to the movie business in the 1930s,&nbsp;and it's investing to maintain its leadership status. Last year, management announced a deep pipeline of 40 new titles, including internally developed and licensed games in development.&nbsp;It's particularly focusing on where gamers are spending more time, which is with big-budget, immersive gaming experiences.</p>\n<p>\"The development speed, scale, range, and depth of information technology is much greater than the last Industrial Revolution,\" said Senior Vice President Steven Ma. \"This brings unimaginable opportunities for games and the space is almost limitless.\"</p>\n<p>However, investors should note the risks of investing in Chinese companies. Tencent has come under scrutiny by regulators that have cracked down on \"inappropriate\" content in the company's games,&nbsp;but Tencent has been able to navigate through these obstacles and deliver market-beating returns to investors. The stock price has fallen recently, which can be chalked up to regulatory issues and near-term investments in the business that will pressure profitability this year. But I would look at the recent drop in share price as a buying opportunity.</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>3 Best Video Game Stocks to Buy in the Next Market Crash</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\">\n3 Best Video Game Stocks to Buy in the Next Market Crash\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-24 09:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/23/best-video-game-stocks-buy-in-next-market-crash/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The bulls in the market have been stomping on the bears for more than a year, but history shows that stock prices don't move up in a straight line.

Market corrections are par for the course when investing in stocks, but that same history shows these downturns lay the foundation for great returns afterward.</p>\n<p>If you've been thinking about buying shares of a video game stock, the next market pullback would be a great buying opportunity. <b>Activision Blizzard</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:ATVI), <b>Electronic Arts</b> (NASDAQ:EA), and <b>Tencent</b> (OTC:TCEHY) are cash-rich leaders in the burgeoning video game industry that can deliver market-beating returns over the long term. Let's find out a bit more about these three stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/869325da30a6e698de7db7d34e33d93a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Activision Blizzard</h2>\n<p>Activision Blizzard owns eight franchises that have achieved at least $1 billion in lifetime bookings.&nbsp;It's best known for making <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the most-played first-person shooters on the market in <i>Call of Duty</i>. A $1,000 investment in Activision stock in 2003, right after the first <i>Call of Duty</i> title was released,&nbsp;would be worth nearly $30,000 today.</p>\n<p>The <i>Call of Duty</i> franchise continues to grow. It's included in the company's Activision segment, which reached a record 150 million monthly active users (MAUs) in the first quarter.&nbsp;With seven other major franchises under its umbrella, Activision Blizzard sees an opportunity to improve those titles to more than double its MAUs to 1 billion.</p>\n<p>Making big-budget video game titles does require investing in thousands of employees and can involve significant marketing expenses, but many other aspects of production are not as capital intensive when compared to other industries. This allows top game companies that can sell millions of copies of new releases to produce robust amounts of free cash flow. Over the past four quarters, Activision Blizzard generated $2.8 billion in free cash flow on $8.5 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>It pays out less than a fifth of that free cash flow in dividends, bringing the current dividend yield to 0.52%. There's clearly potential for Activision to safely double or triple that yield by increasing the payout ratio over time.</p>\n<p>Activision Blizzard owns several franchises that each have a built-in base of millions of fans, including <i>World of Warcraft</i>, <i>Diablo</i>, and <i>Overwatch</i>. The company is well stocked with cash, with $9.3 billion on the balance sheet,&nbsp;which should provide plenty of capital to continue reinvesting for growth.</p>\n<h2>2. Electronic Arts</h2>\n<p>Electronic Arts is known for its EA Sports titles, most notably <i>Madden</i> and <i>FIFA</i>. EA added 42 million new players to its network during the pandemic. It&nbsp;has a total of 230 million players and viewers, but management is targeting 500 million over the next five years.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, EA has demonstrated the ability to bring out new hits. The free-to-play shooter <i>Apex Legends</i> launched in 2019&nbsp;and recently surpassed $1 billion in bookings.&nbsp;EA also revealed plans earlier this year to relaunch its previous <i>NCAA Football</i> franchise under the new title <i>EA Sports College Football</i>, which should be released within the next few years.</p>\n<p>EA's success in growing its sports business in recent years has left it with lots of cash to reinvest. It entered fiscal 2022 with $6.3 billion of cash and investments and has already put that to work.&nbsp;So far this year, EA has spent a combined $4.7 billion to buy Glu Mobile, Codemasters, and Playdemic.&nbsp;These studios bring their own game development prowess and popular titles to accelerate EA's&nbsp;expansion into mobile.</p>\n<p>In fiscal 2021, EA's free cash flow came to $1.8 billion on $5.6 billion of revenue. EA started paying a dividend within the last year,&nbsp;which signals management's confidence in its growth strategy. The quarterly dividend amounts to $0.17 per share, bringing the current dividend yield to 0.48%.&nbsp;The company's growing sports lineup and willingness to return capital to shareholders makes it a top video game stock to consider buying.</p>\n<h2>3. Tencent</h2>\n<p>Tencent is the largest video game company in the world by revenue and also operates the popular WeChat social media platform in China.&nbsp;It owns Riot Games,&nbsp;the operator of one of the top esports titles in the world in <i>League of Legends</i>. It also has ownership stakes in several other companies, including Epic Games and Activision Blizzard.</p>\n<p>Gaming makes up 29% of its annual revenue, with online advertising, fintech, and business services composing most of the balance. But gaming is Tencent's largest business segment. It's the diversity of revenue streams across fast-growing markets, including gaming and cloud services, that make it a stock worth keeping on your radar.</p>\n<p>Over the last four quarters, Tencent generated $18.5 billion in free cash flow.&nbsp;It has $39 billion of dry powder on the balance sheet,&nbsp;in addition to a portfolio of investees that was worth over $200 billion in the first quarter.&nbsp;That's a lot of firepower.</p>\n<p>Tencent compares the current state of the video game industry to the movie business in the 1930s,&nbsp;and it's investing to maintain its leadership status. Last year, management announced a deep pipeline of 40 new titles, including internally developed and licensed games in development.&nbsp;It's particularly focusing on where gamers are spending more time, which is with big-budget, immersive gaming experiences.</p>\n<p>\"The development speed, scale, range, and depth of information technology is much greater than the last Industrial Revolution,\" said Senior Vice President Steven Ma. \"This brings unimaginable opportunities for games and the space is almost limitless.\"</p>\n<p>However, investors should note the risks of investing in Chinese companies.

Market corrections are par for the course when investing in stocks, but that same history shows these downturns lay the foundation for great returns afterward.\nIf you've been thinking about buying shares of a video game stock, the next market pullback would be a great buying opportunity. Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI), Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA), and Tencent (OTC:TCEHY) are cash-rich leaders in the burgeoning video game industry that can deliver market-beating returns over the long term. Let's find out a bit more about these three stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Activision Blizzard\nActivision Blizzard owns eight franchises that have achieved at least $1 billion in lifetime bookings. It's best known for making one of the most-played first-person shooters on the market in Call of Duty. A $1,000 investment in Activision stock in 2003, right after the first Call of Duty title was released, would be worth nearly $30,000 today.\nThe Call of Duty franchise continues to grow. It's included in the company's Activision segment, which reached a record 150 million monthly active users (MAUs) in the first quarter. With seven other major franchises under its umbrella, Activision Blizzard sees an opportunity to improve those titles to more than double its MAUs to 1 billion.\nMaking big-budget video game titles does require investing in thousands of employees and can involve significant marketing expenses, but many other aspects of production are not as capital intensive when compared to other industries. This allows top game companies that can sell millions of copies of new releases to produce robust amounts of free cash flow. Over the past four quarters, Activision Blizzard generated $2.8 billion in free cash flow on $8.5 billion in revenue.\nIt pays out less than a fifth of that free cash flow in dividends, bringing the current dividend yield to 0.52%. There's clearly potential for Activision to safely double or triple that yield by increasing the payout ratio over time.\nActivision Blizzard owns several franchises that each have a built-in base of millions of fans, including World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch. The company is well stocked with cash, with $9.3 billion on the balance sheet, which should provide plenty of capital to continue reinvesting for growth.\n2. Electronic Arts\nElectronic Arts is known for its EA Sports titles, most notably Madden and FIFA. EA added 42 million new players to its network during the pandemic. It has a total of 230 million players and viewers, but management is targeting 500 million over the next five years.\nMost importantly, EA has demonstrated the ability to bring out new hits. The free-to-play shooter Apex Legends launched in 2019 and recently surpassed $1 billion in bookings. EA also revealed plans earlier this year to relaunch its previous NCAA Football franchise under the new title EA Sports College Football, which should be released within the next few years.\nEA's success in growing its sports business in recent years has left it with lots of cash to reinvest. It entered fiscal 2022 with $6.3 billion of cash and investments and has already put that to work. So far this year, EA has spent a combined $4.7 billion to buy Glu Mobile, Codemasters, and Playdemic. These studios bring their own game development prowess and popular titles to accelerate EA's expansion into mobile.\nIn fiscal 2021, EA's free cash flow came to $1.8 billion on $5.6 billion of revenue. EA started paying a dividend within the last year, which signals management's confidence in its growth strategy. The quarterly dividend amounts to $0.17 per share, bringing the current dividend yield to 0.48%. The company's growing sports lineup and willingness to return capital to shareholders makes it a top video game stock to consider buying.\n3. Tencent\nTencent is the largest video game company in the world by revenue and also operates the popular WeChat social media platform in China. It owns Riot Games, the operator of one of the top esports titles in the world in League of Legends. It also has ownership stakes in several other companies, including Epic Games and Activision Blizzard.\nGaming makes up 29% of its annual revenue, with online advertising, fintech, and business services composing most of the balance. But gaming is Tencent's largest business segment. It's the diversity of revenue streams across fast-growing markets, including gaming and cloud services, that make it a stock worth keeping on your radar.\nOver the last four quarters, Tencent generated $18.5 billion in free cash flow. It has $39 billion of dry powder on the balance sheet, in addition to a portfolio of investees that was worth over $200 billion in the first quarter. That's a lot of firepower.\nTencent compares the current state of the video game industry to the movie business in the 1930s, and it's investing to maintain its leadership status. Last year, management announced a deep pipeline of 40 new titles, including internally developed and licensed games in development. It's particularly focusing on where gamers are spending more time, which is with big-budget, immersive gaming experiences.\n\"The development speed, scale, range, and depth of information technology is much greater than the last Industrial Revolution,\" said Senior Vice President Steven Ma. \"This brings unimaginable opportunities for games and the space is almost limitless.\"\nHowever, investors should note the risks of investing in Chinese companies. Tencent has come under scrutiny by regulators that have cracked down on \"inappropriate\" content in the company's games, but Tencent has been able to navigate through these obstacles and deliver market-beating returns to investors. The stock price has fallen recently, which can be chalked up to regulatory issues and near-term investments in the business that will pressure profitability this year. But I would look at the recent drop in share price as a buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800115358,"gmtCreate":1627286240974,"gmtModify":1703486728565,"author":{"id":"3584665778352604","authorId":"3584665778352604","name":"vtyy","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584665778352604","authorIdStr":"3584665778352604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/800115358","repostId":"1177188040","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":273,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800116353,"gmtCreate":1627286117972,"gmtModify":1703486724919,"author":{"id":"3584665778352604","authorId":"3584665778352604","name":"vtyy","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584665778352604","authorIdStr":"3584665778352604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yay","listText":"Yay","text":"Yay","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/800116353","repostId":"2154893468","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2154893468","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627282517,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2154893468?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-26 14:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Tech Stocks to Buy While They Are on Sale","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2154893468","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Short-sighted tech investors sold these stocks -- and they look like a steal.","content":"<p>Many technology stocks were big winners in 2020, but when the new year began investors seemed to lose a bit of their enthusiasm for the sector. Perhaps investors thought that tech stocks were flying too high or that other sectors could grow faster as the economy opened back up.</p>\n<p>Whatever the case, some fantastic technology stocks are currently on sale and savvy investors would be wise to head straight to the bargain bin. To help you sift through the pile, we asked a few Motley Fool contributors for their top tech stocks right now. They came back with <b>Etsy</b> (NASDAQ:ETSY), <b>SoFi Technologies</b> (NASDAQ:SOFI), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></b> (NYSE:SNOW). Here's why.</p>\n<h2>Etsy is becoming more fashionable (at a discount)</h2>\n<p><b>Brian Withers (Etsy): </b>Etsy seemed to be an overnight success as millions discovered the platform last year when searching online to buy face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic. Since then its artisans have sold $948 million worth of masks. But those investors who think this tech-powered marketplace is just a coronavirus play couldn't be more wrong. Let's dive into the company's latest results and see why this gem could be a steal at 20% below its all-time high.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 FY2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q4 FY2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 FY2021</p></th>\n   <th><p>Change (QOQ)</p></th>\n   <th><p>Change (YOY)</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Gross merchandise sales (GMS)</p></td>\n   <td><p>$1.4 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>$3.6 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>$3.1 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>(14%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>127%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>$228 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>$617 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>$551 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>(11%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>142%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Active buyers*</p></td>\n   <td><p>47.1 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>80.9 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>89.7 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>11%</p></td>\n   <td><p>90%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Etsy. QOQ = quarter over quarter. YOY = year over year. *An active buyer is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that has made a purchase in the last 12 months.</p>\n<p>Gross merchandise sales on its platform declined from the holiday quarter coming into the first quarter bringing revenue down 11% quarter over quarter. But the year-over-year changes were robust, with a 127% increase in GMS, a 142% increase in the top line, and a 90% increase in active buyers.</p>\n<p>Sequentially, buyer metrics were strong across the board, showing that this platform is attracting and keeping customers, even as the coronavirus wanes. Repeat buyers grew 13% sequentially to 36.4 million and habitual buyers grew 22% to a record 7.9 million. Repeat buyers have more than one purchase day in the last 12 months, and habitual buyers rack up six purchase days in that same time period. What's even more impressive is that GMS per active buyer also hit a record of $124 in the quarter, a 20% year-over-year improvement.</p>\n<p>But the company is not resting on its laurels. A recent acquisition of fashion reseller Depop for $1.6 billion bolsters its apparel category, which put up $1.2 billion in GMS over the previous 12 months and a solid 83% year-over-year growth for the quarter. The Depop brand strengthens the company's stranglehold on \"special\" e-commerce, where 88% of buyers said they find products on Etsy that they can't find anywhere else. But wait, there's more. Last month, it extended its merger and acquisition run with a $217 million purchase of Elo7, the Etsy of Brazil. Between these two acquisitions, the company will have its hands full with integration activities and pursuing more growth in the quarters to come.</p>\n<p>With the stock off its high, don't be fooled into thinking this pullback makes the stock a bargain. It still carries a lofty valuation that might scare off value investors. Its price-to-sales ratio is in the double digits at 13 and its trailing price-to-earnings ratio tops 50. But growth investors know that they need to pay up for quality and this marketplace for artisans is a one of a kind. I couldn't pass up the value this stock is presenting right now and picked up some shares myself this past week. Maybe you'll consider joining me?</p>\n<h2>A fintech monster in the making</h2>\n<p><b>Danny Vena (SoFi Technologies): </b>Sometimes a stock goes on sale for reasons that have nothing to do with the company's business -- and that's exactly the case with SoFi Technologies. To understand what's happening with the share price requires a look at some of the provisions in the company's lock-up agreement.</p>\n<p>The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger between Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings V and Social Finance was completed on May 28, and SoFi Technologies began trading on June 1. The completion of that merger started the clock ticking on the company's traditional lockup period of 180 days -- the period after which insiders and early investors could sell the stock.</p>\n<p>There were some unusual provisions included in the lock-up agreement, however, that would trigger an early end to the lock-up period for a large chunk of the shares.</p>\n<p>If SoFi stock traded above $12.50 for any 20 days during a 30-day period, 33% of the shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. For context, SoFi opened at $22.97 on June 1 and never traded below the $12.50 threshold for the entire month -- thus triggering the early release of 33% of the shares from the lock-up period.</p>\n<p>The second provision stated that if SoFi stock traded above $15 any 20 days during a 30-day period, an additional 50% of shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. SoFi stock never traded below $18.50 per share during the month of June -- triggering the early release of another 50% of shares subject to the lock-up.</p>\n<p>The flood of new shares on the market and short-selling that preceded the end of the lockup conspired to drive the stock price down. As of this writing, SoFi stock has fallen 37% from its high in early June. In cases like this, however, it's important to look to the company's business performance for insight into the future.</p>\n<p>In the first quarter, SoFi delivered revenue that grew 150% year over year, while some of its segments did even better. Its lending segment grew 105%, its technology business soared 45-fold, and its financial services segment jumped 200%. At the same time, SoFi generated its third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, setting the stage for future profitability.</p>\n<p>Other metrics illustrate the reasons for the company's surging revenue growth. Members grew 110% year over year, while its lending and financial services product offerings grew 12% and 273%, respectively.&nbsp; The number of accounts related to its Galileo financial services platform ballooned 130%.</p>\n<p>These metrics help illustrate that SoFi is firing on all cylinders. Investors should ignore the stock price decline related to the expiration of the lock-up agreement and buy shares now, while they're on sale.</p>\n<h2><b>This stock isn't melting down just yet&nbsp;</b></h2>\n<p><b>Chris Neiger (Snowflake):</b> Since the beginning of this year, shares of the cloud-based data platform company Snowflake have tumbled nearly 6%. The company's stock has taken a hit for several reasons that are worth a quick recap. Here are two:</p>\n<p>First, Snowflake's share price began falling in February as part of a broader sell-off of tech stocks in the market. Many investors poured money into tech stocks in 2020 as they looked for businesses that could still do well during pandemic-induced lockdowns.</p>\n<p>But then investors pivoted their attention away from tech stocks and toward other areas of the U.S. economy, sending Snowflake's and other tech companies' share prices tumbling.</p>\n<p>Second, some investors sold their Snowflake shares after the company reported its fiscal-year 2021 results in March. Sales spiked 124% from the previous year, but its net loss widened and some investors got scared Snowflake's run was over.</p>\n<p>While it's no surprise that investors don't like to see a company's losses widen, it appears that investors overlooked the company's&nbsp;impressive growth stats from its first quarter (reported in May) including having more than 100 customers who spend more than $1 million each with company every year.</p>\n<p>In fact, Snowflake is growing so fast that its management believes it will surpass $10 <i>billion</i> in product revenue by 2029.&nbsp;That impressive figure will be achieved by adding new customers and convincing them to continue spending more money on Snowflake's platform -- two things that are already happening.</p>\n<p>Snowflake now has 4,532 total customers and its net revenue retention rate is 168%. That means Snowflake's customers continue to see value from its services and continue to increase their spending with the company.</p>\n<p>With Snowflake still in the early stages of its growth, investors should remain patient with this company.

Perhaps investors thought that tech stocks were flying too high or that other sectors could grow faster as the economy opened back up.\nWhatever the case, some fantastic technology stocks are currently on sale and savvy investors would be wise to head straight to the bargain bin. To help you sift through the pile, we asked a few Motley Fool contributors for their top tech stocks right now. They came back with Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY), SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), and Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW). Here's why.\nEtsy is becoming more fashionable (at a discount)\nBrian Withers (Etsy): Etsy seemed to be an overnight success as millions discovered the platform last year when searching online to buy face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic. Since then its artisans have sold $948 million worth of masks. But those investors who think this tech-powered marketplace is just a coronavirus play couldn't be more wrong. Let's dive into the company's latest results and see why this gem could be a steal at 20% below its all-time high.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ1 FY2020\nQ4 FY2020\nQ1 FY2021\nChange (QOQ)\nChange (YOY)\n\n\n\n\nGross merchandise sales (GMS)\n$1.4 billion\n$3.6 billion\n$3.1 billion\n(14%)\n127%\n\n\nRevenue\n$228 million\n$617 million\n$551 million\n(11%)\n142%\n\n\nActive buyers*\n47.1 million\n80.9 million\n89.7 million\n11%\n90%\n\n\n\nData source: Etsy. QOQ = quarter over quarter. YOY = year over year. *An active buyer is one that has made a purchase in the last 12 months.\nGross merchandise sales on its platform declined from the holiday quarter coming into the first quarter bringing revenue down 11% quarter over quarter. But the year-over-year changes were robust, with a 127% increase in GMS, a 142% increase in the top line, and a 90% increase in active buyers.\nSequentially, buyer metrics were strong across the board, showing that this platform is attracting and keeping customers, even as the coronavirus wanes. Repeat buyers grew 13% sequentially to 36.4 million and habitual buyers grew 22% to a record 7.9 million. Repeat buyers have more than one purchase day in the last 12 months, and habitual buyers rack up six purchase days in that same time period. What's even more impressive is that GMS per active buyer also hit a record of $124 in the quarter, a 20% year-over-year improvement.\nBut the company is not resting on its laurels. A recent acquisition of fashion reseller Depop for $1.6 billion bolsters its apparel category, which put up $1.2 billion in GMS over the previous 12 months and a solid 83% year-over-year growth for the quarter. The Depop brand strengthens the company's stranglehold on \"special\" e-commerce, where 88% of buyers said they find products on Etsy that they can't find anywhere else. But wait, there's more. Last month, it extended its merger and acquisition run with a $217 million purchase of Elo7, the Etsy of Brazil. Between these two acquisitions, the company will have its hands full with integration activities and pursuing more growth in the quarters to come.\nWith the stock off its high, don't be fooled into thinking this pullback makes the stock a bargain. It still carries a lofty valuation that might scare off value investors. Its price-to-sales ratio is in the double digits at 13 and its trailing price-to-earnings ratio tops 50. But growth investors know that they need to pay up for quality and this marketplace for artisans is a one of a kind. I couldn't pass up the value this stock is presenting right now and picked up some shares myself this past week. Maybe you'll consider joining me?\nA fintech monster in the making\nDanny Vena (SoFi Technologies): Sometimes a stock goes on sale for reasons that have nothing to do with the company's business -- and that's exactly the case with SoFi Technologies. To understand what's happening with the share price requires a look at some of the provisions in the company's lock-up agreement.\nThe special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger between Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings V and Social Finance was completed on May 28, and SoFi Technologies began trading on June 1. The completion of that merger started the clock ticking on the company's traditional lockup period of 180 days -- the period after which insiders and early investors could sell the stock.\nThere were some unusual provisions included in the lock-up agreement, however, that would trigger an early end to the lock-up period for a large chunk of the shares.\nIf SoFi stock traded above $12.50 for any 20 days during a 30-day period, 33% of the shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. For context, SoFi opened at $22.97 on June 1 and never traded below the $12.50 threshold for the entire month -- thus triggering the early release of 33% of the shares from the lock-up period.\nThe second provision stated that if SoFi stock traded above $15 any 20 days during a 30-day period, an additional 50% of shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. SoFi stock never traded below $18.50 per share during the month of June -- triggering the early release of another 50% of shares subject to the lock-up.\nThe flood of new shares on the market and short-selling that preceded the end of the lockup conspired to drive the stock price down. As of this writing, SoFi stock has fallen 37% from its high in early June. In cases like this, however, it's important to look to the company's business performance for insight into the future.\nIn the first quarter, SoFi delivered revenue that grew 150% year over year, while some of its segments did even better. Its lending segment grew 105%, its technology business soared 45-fold, and its financial services segment jumped 200%. At the same time, SoFi generated its third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, setting the stage for future profitability.\nOther metrics illustrate the reasons for the company's surging revenue growth. Members grew 110% year over year, while its lending and financial services product offerings grew 12% and 273%, respectively.  The number of accounts related to its Galileo financial services platform ballooned 130%.\nThese metrics help illustrate that SoFi is firing on all cylinders. Investors should ignore the stock price decline related to the expiration of the lock-up agreement and buy shares now, while they're on sale.\nThis stock isn't melting down just yet \nChris Neiger (Snowflake): Since the beginning of this year, shares of the cloud-based data platform company Snowflake have tumbled nearly 6%. The company's stock has taken a hit for several reasons that are worth a quick recap. Here are two:\nFirst, Snowflake's share price began falling in February as part of a broader sell-off of tech stocks in the market. Many investors poured money into tech stocks in 2020 as they looked for businesses that could still do well during pandemic-induced lockdowns.\nBut then investors pivoted their attention away from tech stocks and toward other areas of the U.S. economy, sending Snowflake's and other tech companies' share prices tumbling.\nSecond, some investors sold their Snowflake shares after the company reported its fiscal-year 2021 results in March. Sales spiked 124% from the previous year, but its net loss widened and some investors got scared Snowflake's run was over.\nWhile it's no surprise that investors don't like to see a company's losses widen, it appears that investors overlooked the company's impressive growth stats from its first quarter (reported in May) including having more than 100 customers who spend more than $1 million each with company every year.\nIn fact, Snowflake is growing so fast that its management believes it will surpass $10 billion in product revenue by 2029. That impressive figure will be achieved by adding new customers and convincing them to continue spending more money on Snowflake's platform -- two things that are already happening.\nSnowflake now has 4,532 total customers and its net revenue retention rate is 168%. That means Snowflake's customers continue to see value from its services and continue to increase their spending with the company.\nWith Snowflake still in the early stages of its growth, investors should remain patient with this company. The recent pullback from the company's share price is creating a buying opportunity for savvy investors -- and in the coming years, you'll likely be glad you added this tech stock to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":315,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
