But the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 index found support at their 50-day lines; the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NDAQ\">Nasdaq</a>, after falling below the 50-day, regained that key level on Friday. Market breadth weakened further over the week. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">NVIDIA Corp</a></b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CSCO\">Cisco</a></b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Ltd</a>.</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/M\">Macy's</a></b> were earnings winners, but <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HD\">Home Depot</a></b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TGT\">Target</a></b> sold off. At Tesla AI Day, Elon Musk said he'll likely have a prototype humanoid robot by next year.</p>\n<h2>Stock Market Rally Finds Support</h2>\n<p>The stock market rally retreated this past week as the Fed signaled it could begin tapering bond buys this year. Some weak economic data in the U.S. and China also didn't help. But the Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500 and, ultimately, the Nasdaq found support around the 50-day line. Market breadth remains narrow. Crude oil prices fell sharply, with copper and industrial metals also down.</p>\n<h2>Fed Eyes Exit Amid Mixed Economic Data</h2>\n<p>The Federal Reserve is getting ready to start tapering bond buys before year-end, according to minutes from the July Fed meeting. That comes amid mixed economic data. July retail sales fell 1.1%, as Americans balked at soaring auto prices. Ex auto sales unexpectedly dipped 0.4%. Americans also are spending less on housing-related items and e-commerce sites. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QSR\">Restaurant</a> revenue rose, though rising Covid cases could curb dining out again. Homebuilder confidence fell from very high levels, as high prices deter potential buyers. Jobless claims hit a post-pandemic low but regional factory gauges were weaker than expected. Chinese retail sales and industrial production growth slowed more than expected in July, as floods and Covid restrictions took their toll.</p>\n<h2>Nvidia Earnings Delight</h2>\n<p>Graphics-chip maker <b>Nvidia</b> reported an 89% EPS gain as sales climbed 68% to $6.51 billion amid strong gaming and data center chip sales. Nvidia also raised guidance. Shares rose on earnings, but were down for the week. Chip-equipment supplier <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">Applied Materials</a></b> and chipmaker <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADI\">Analog Devices</a></b> delivered beat-and-raise reports. However, shares of both companies wavered on the news.</p>\n<h2>Discount Giants Beat Views</h2>\n<p><b>Walmart</b> reported a 14% EPS gain while revenue edged up 2.4% to $141.05 billion. <b>Target</b> EPS grew 8% as sales climbed 9.5% to $25.2 billion. E-commerce and other sales growth is slowing, in part due to tougher comparisons. Both companies gave a strong earnings outlook, and could benefit from President Biden's big boost to food-stamp benefits. Walmart is the nation's top seller of groceries and Target has expanded in this space. WMT stock was little changed while Target tumbled.</p>\n<h2>Tesla Hosts AI Event, Autopilot Crashes Probed</h2>\n<p>Tesla hosted AI Day on Thursday night to showcase its progress in the use of artificial intelligence. The event was ostensibly aimed at recruiting engineers, gave a complex presentation on self-driving. Elon Musk also said Tesla \"probably\" will release a prototype humanoid robot sometime next year. The event was held as the EV maker faces mounting scrutiny of its self-driving claims. U.S. senators called for an FTC probe just days after the NHTSA formally launched an investigation into several Tesla Autopilot crashes involving stationary vehicles at first responder sites. The NHTSA indicated a tougher standard for Autopilot than in previous probes.</p>\n<h2>Cisco Earnings Top</h2>\n<p><b>Cisco Systems</b> reported fiscal Q4 EPS rose 5%, just beating. Revenue rose 8% to $13.1 billion, including acquisitions such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ACIA\">Acacia</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JCS\">Communications</a>. That slightly topped estimates. Software revenue climbed 9% to $4 billion, up 9% year-over-year. For the October quarter, Cisco guided slightly lower on EPS. But it guided up on fiscal Q1 and 2022 revenue targets. Shares rallied on earnings, moving higher in the buy zone.</p>\n<h2>Department Stores More Upbeat</h2>\n<p><b>Macy's</b> and <b>Kohl's</b> reported second-quarter results that beat estimates, and both raised their full-year financial forecasts. Macy's also announced a buyback and revived a dividend. The department stores reported even as the pandemic still rages across much of the U.S. Macy's stock surged to a 52-week high while Kohl's popped. Meanwhile, <b>Amazon</b>, which in recent years has spurred retailers to adapt to digital shopping, is now planning to open its own large-format stores, according to the Wall Street Journal.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HBCP\">Home</a> Depot, Lowe's Earnings Beat</h2>\n<p><b>Home Depot</b> reported EPS rose 13% on an 8% sales increase to $41.12 billion. Same-store sales rose 4.5%, with U.S. comps up 3.4%, missing some forecasts. The home improvement chain reported a 5.8% drop in customer transactions from a year earlier, but the average ticket was 11.3% larger, suggesting fewer DIY customers. Meanwhile, <b>Lowe's</b> said <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> EPS grew 13%, while sales were up 1% at $27.6 billion, both above estimates. Same-store sales fell a less-than-expected 1.6%. HD stock fell solidly while Lowe's jumped.</p>\n<h2>TJMaxx, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ROST\">Ross</a> Earnings Rebound</h2>\n<p>Off-price retailer <b>TJX</b>, parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, earned 64 cents a share vs. an 18-cent loss a year earlier and above views for 59 cents. Sales shot up 81% to $12.1 billion, also above estimates. TJX open-only comps rose 20%, above estimates for 14.5%. <b>Ross Stores</b> posted EPS of $1.39, rebounding from an 11-cent loss in the same period last year. Sales were up 79% to $4.8 billion. But Ross gave weak guidance. TJX stock jumped while Ross Stores fell.</p>\n<p>Deere &amp; Co. DE raised full-year guidance after third-quarter earnings rebounded&nbsp;107% to $5.32 per share, with revenue jumping 29% to&nbsp;$11.527 billion, an overall beat. The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAT\">Caterpillar</a> CAT rival's agriculture, construction, and turf equipment segments all posted robust gains, despite supply-chain challenges. Deere expects to keep benefiting from \"favorable fundamentals\" in its core&nbsp;farm and construction markets, which includes the planned $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Deere makes excavators, bulldozers, timber harvesters and dump trucks used in construction. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic especially hit&nbsp;shipments of Deere's construction and forestry equipment, also forcing its factories to operate at reduced capacity.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Ltd</a>. Revenue Booms</h2>\n<p>Asian e-commerce and gaming company <b>Sea Ltd.</b> reported a 159% revenue gain to $2.28 billion, the third straight quarter of accelerating year-over-year growth. It also raised guidance. Shares rose to a new high.</p>\n<h2>China Earnings Mixed Amid Crackdown</h2>\n<p>Messaging and gaming giant <b>Tencent Holdings</b> reported mixed results as Beijing cracks down vs. web platforms and many other private-sector sectors. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TME\">Tencent Music</a></b> beat Q2 EPS views, as its advertising business rebounded and more people subscribed to its music streaming platform. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VIPS\">Vipshop</a></b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WB\">Weibo</a></b> also reported mixed results. China stocks have been under heavy pressure, with valuations cut roughly in half this year due to an ongoing government crackdown. Tencent and for-profit school firms warned of regulatory impacts on operations.</p>\n<p><b>Global-e Online</b> beat revenue estimates and raised its outlook for the current quarter and full year when the e-commerce software maker reported quarterly results, its first as a public company.</p>\n<p><b>Sonos</b> soared after a U.S. International Trade Commission judge ruled that <b>Google</b> infringed on patents held by the maker of wireless audio technology.</p>\n<p><b>T-Mobile</b> fell nearly 3% on Monday after a hacker reportedly claimed to be selling personal data from more than 100 million customers.</p>\n<p><b>BJ's Wholesale Club</b>, a warehouse club retail chain, reported second-quarter results that topped expectations. The company said its \"view of the future has improved from last quarter,\" but didn't offer formal guidance.</p>\n<p><b>Roblox</b> reported a wider-than-expected loss while bookings lagged views for the online gaming platform. Daily active users rose 29% year over year to 43.2 million, in line with estimates.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNPS\">Synopsys</a></b> bolted higher after the chip design software firm posted a beat-and-raise quarterly report. Q3 EPS rose 4% as revenue grew 10% to $1.06 billion.</p>\n<p><b>ZIM Integrated Shipping Services</b> crushed views on rising container volumes and guided high. EPS shot up to $7.38 from 23 cents a year ago. Revenue vaulted 199% to $2.38 billion.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EL\">Estee Lauder</a></b>: reported Q4 earnings of 78 cents a share, reversing a year-earlier loss. Sales jumped 62% to $3.94 billion. Both beat expectations. Looking ahead, the cosmetics company gave upbeat guidance. Shares jumped from key support.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FL\">Foot Locker</a></b>, the athletic gear retailer, reported second-quarter results that beat expectations. The company said it was \"cautiously optimistic\" about its outlook for the second half of the year.</p>\n<p><b>YOU MAY ALSO LIKE:</b></p>\n<p>Best Growth Stocks To Buy And Watch</p>\n<p>IBD <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DLR\">Digital</a>: Unlock IBD's Premium Stock Lists, Tools And Analysis Today</p>\n<p>The 200-Day Average: The Last Line Of Support?</p>\n<p>Catch The Next Big Winning Stock With MarketSmith</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>Market Rally Finds Support Amid Fed Taper Talk; Nvidia, Cisco, Target Earnings In Focus, Tesla AI Day Touts 'Tesla Bot': Weekly Review</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\">\nMarket Rally Finds Support Amid Fed Taper Talk; Nvidia, Cisco, Target Earnings In Focus, Tesla AI Day Touts 'Tesla Bot': Weekly Review\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Investors </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-08-20 23:09</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>The stock market rally suffered losses in the latest week, amid Fed taper talk, some weak economic data and further <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a> crackdowns on private enterprise.

But the Dow Jones and S&P 500 index found support at their 50-day lines; the Nasdaq, after falling below the 50-day, regained that key level on Friday. Market breadth weakened further over the week. NVIDIA Corp, Cisco, Sea Ltd. and Macy's were earnings winners, but Home Depot and Target sold off. At Tesla AI Day, Elon Musk said he'll likely have a prototype humanoid robot by next year.\nStock Market Rally Finds Support\nThe stock market rally retreated this past week as the Fed signaled it could begin tapering bond buys this year. Some weak economic data in the U.S. and China also didn't help. But the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and, ultimately, the Nasdaq found support around the 50-day line. Market breadth remains narrow. Crude oil prices fell sharply, with copper and industrial metals also down.\nFed Eyes Exit Amid Mixed Economic Data\nThe Federal Reserve is getting ready to start tapering bond buys before year-end, according to minutes from the July Fed meeting. That comes amid mixed economic data. July retail sales fell 1.1%, as Americans balked at soaring auto prices. Ex auto sales unexpectedly dipped 0.4%. Americans also are spending less on housing-related items and e-commerce sites. Restaurant revenue rose, though rising Covid cases could curb dining out again. Homebuilder confidence fell from very high levels, as high prices deter potential buyers. Jobless claims hit a post-pandemic low but regional factory gauges were weaker than expected. Chinese retail sales and industrial production growth slowed more than expected in July, as floods and Covid restrictions took their toll.\nNvidia Earnings Delight\nGraphics-chip maker Nvidia reported an 89% EPS gain as sales climbed 68% to $6.51 billion amid strong gaming and data center chip sales. Nvidia also raised guidance. Shares rose on earnings, but were down for the week. Chip-equipment supplier Applied Materials and chipmaker Analog Devices delivered beat-and-raise reports. However, shares of both companies wavered on the news.\nDiscount Giants Beat Views\nWalmart reported a 14% EPS gain while revenue edged up 2.4% to $141.05 billion. Target EPS grew 8% as sales climbed 9.5% to $25.2 billion. E-commerce and other sales growth is slowing, in part due to tougher comparisons. Both companies gave a strong earnings outlook, and could benefit from President Biden's big boost to food-stamp benefits. Walmart is the nation's top seller of groceries and Target has expanded in this space. WMT stock was little changed while Target tumbled.\nTesla Hosts AI Event, Autopilot Crashes Probed\nTesla hosted AI Day on Thursday night to showcase its progress in the use of artificial intelligence. The event was ostensibly aimed at recruiting engineers, gave a complex presentation on self-driving. Elon Musk also said Tesla \"probably\" will release a prototype humanoid robot sometime next year. The event was held as the EV maker faces mounting scrutiny of its self-driving claims. U.S. senators called for an FTC probe just days after the NHTSA formally launched an investigation into several Tesla Autopilot crashes involving stationary vehicles at first responder sites. The NHTSA indicated a tougher standard for Autopilot than in previous probes.\nCisco Earnings Top\nCisco Systems reported fiscal Q4 EPS rose 5%, just beating. Revenue rose 8% to $13.1 billion, including acquisitions such as Acacia Communications. That slightly topped estimates. Software revenue climbed 9% to $4 billion, up 9% year-over-year. For the October quarter, Cisco guided slightly lower on EPS. But it guided up on fiscal Q1 and 2022 revenue targets. Shares rallied on earnings, moving higher in the buy zone.\nDepartment Stores More Upbeat\nMacy's and Kohl's reported second-quarter results that beat estimates, and both raised their full-year financial forecasts. Macy's also announced a buyback and revived a dividend. The department stores reported even as the pandemic still rages across much of the U.S. Macy's stock surged to a 52-week high while Kohl's popped. Meanwhile, Amazon, which in recent years has spurred retailers to adapt to digital shopping, is now planning to open its own large-format stores, according to the Wall Street Journal.\nHome Depot, Lowe's Earnings Beat\nHome Depot reported EPS rose 13% on an 8% sales increase to $41.12 billion. Same-store sales rose 4.5%, with U.S. comps up 3.4%, missing some forecasts. The home improvement chain reported a 5.8% drop in customer transactions from a year earlier, but the average ticket was 11.3% larger, suggesting fewer DIY customers. Meanwhile, Lowe's said Q2 EPS grew 13%, while sales were up 1% at $27.6 billion, both above estimates. Same-store sales fell a less-than-expected 1.6%. HD stock fell solidly while Lowe's jumped.\nTJMaxx, Ross Earnings Rebound\nOff-price retailer TJX, parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, earned 64 cents a share vs. an 18-cent loss a year earlier and above views for 59 cents. Sales shot up 81% to $12.1 billion, also above estimates. TJX open-only comps rose 20%, above estimates for 14.5%. Ross Stores posted EPS of $1.39, rebounding from an 11-cent loss in the same period last year. Sales were up 79% to $4.8 billion. But Ross gave weak guidance. TJX stock jumped while Ross Stores fell.\nDeere & Co. DE raised full-year guidance after third-quarter earnings rebounded 107% to $5.32 per share, with revenue jumping 29% to $11.527 billion, an overall beat. The Caterpillar CAT rival's agriculture, construction, and turf equipment segments all posted robust gains, despite supply-chain challenges.

Deere makes excavators, bulldozers, timber harvesters and dump trucks used in construction. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic especially hit shipments of Deere's construction and forestry equipment, also forcing its factories to operate at reduced capacity.\nSea Ltd. Revenue Booms\nAsian e-commerce and gaming company Sea Ltd. reported a 159% revenue gain to $2.28 billion, the third straight quarter of accelerating year-over-year growth. It also raised guidance. Shares rose to a new high.\nChina Earnings Mixed Amid Crackdown\nMessaging and gaming giant Tencent Holdings reported mixed results as Beijing cracks down vs. web platforms and many other private-sector sectors. Tencent Music beat Q2 EPS views, as its advertising business rebounded and more people subscribed to its music streaming platform. Vipshop and Weibo also reported mixed results. China stocks have been under heavy pressure, with valuations cut roughly in half this year due to an ongoing government crackdown.

By paying attention to fundamentals and ensuring you aren't holding any stocks that are wildly overvalued, you can reduce your risk.</p>\n<p>Three stocks I would consider selling today are <b>Shockwave Medical </b>(NASDAQ:SWAV),&nbsp;<b>Peloton&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:PTON), and <b>Snap&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SNAP). While they've all done well over the past 12 months and have outperformed the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, there could be tougher times ahead for these companies.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a428385363a66df0dbd08bd021098d5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Shockwave Medical</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HCSG\">Healthcare</a> company Shockwave Medical uses shockwaves to break up calcium deposits. The company's catheters can help in situations where blood flow is restricted. And earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the company's shockwave pressure wave therapy the green light to treat advanced heart disease. It's an exciting opportunity for the business, because experts say calcification can present a serious obstacle for physicians when doing angioplasty procedures -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that current tools may not be able to overcome.</p>\n<p>But despite the potential growth opportunities ahead for the business, the stock may just be too expensive of a buy right now. For the first three months of 2021, sales of $31.9 million weren't even enough to cover the company's operating expenses of $41.5 million. While the year-over-year revenue growth of 110% was impressive, it's still hard to justify the $6.4 billion valuation, which puts Shockwave Medical's stock at a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of more than 73. By comparison, the average stock in the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> trades at just 11 times its revenue, and those are holdings that possess high growth potential.</p>\n<p>Unless you are willing to hold Shockwave Medical for the very long term, a safer bet may be to leave it on a watchlist for now and wait for it to fall in price. In the meantime, there are plenty of other value buys that may be safer to hold right now.</p>\n<h3>2. Peloton</h3>\n<p>Peloton was a popular stay-at-home stock for investors to hold during the pandemic, as consumers weren't able to visit the gym and instead opted for the company's bikes and treadmills. But bad press (involving a recall after a treadmill accident led to the death of a child) combined with investors' general move toward stocks that will do well upon reopenings to leave Peloton's stock in a tailspin; year to date, its shares are down more than 22% while the S&amp;P 500 has risen by 17%.</p>\n<p>However, even with the decline in share price, the stock is still incredibly expensive given the business' underwhelming numbers. While Peloton is profitable, its profit margin over the trailing 12 months is just less than 6%, and two of the past five quarters have been in the red. Its price-to-earnings multiple is more than 140, which is obscene by any comparison. And with a P/S multiple of 10, it's not terribly cheap on that metric, either.</p>\n<p>My concern is that the company's growth rate could start to decline as people go back to gyms, and that could make staying out of the red a challenge in future quarters. Workers are also quitting their jobs at record levels, and that could put those consumers' finances in disarray, at least in the short term. The loss of a job (voluntary or not) could make buying a $1,000-plus bike just not that much of a priority anymore -- and it may not look nearly as affordable.</p>\n<p>Unless you have an incredibly rosy outlook for Peloton (which I don't), there's simply not much of a reason to buy the stock at its hefty valuation.</p>\n<h3>3. Snap</h3>\n<p>Snap is coming off a great second quarter in which it continued to do well even amid reopenings. The social media company behind Snapchat reported that its daily active users topped 293 million, up 23% year over year. Its revenue for the period ending June 30 totaled $982 million, more than double the $454 million that Snap reported a year ago, thanks largely to enhancements to its augmented reality platform. Its net loss of $152 million was also cut in half. Snap projects that its revenue will rise next quarter as well, but at a more modest rate between 58% and 60%.</p>\n<p>The company is doing many things well, and solid user growth in this period -- when people have been less glued to their phones than during lockdowns -- is an impressive feat. But with Snap's stock rising more than 230% over the past year (the S&amp;P 500 is up just 35%), its valuation has gotten out of control. Today, Snap trades at a P/S multiple of 33, well above the average stock in the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLK\">Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund</a></b>, where the P/S average is less than 7.</p>\n<p>The stock certainly has potential if it can keep adding users and driving this level of revenue growth, but even management is forecasting some softness ahead in its top line. It wasn't until the pandemic that shares of Snap really took off, and there's no doubt the company benefited from stay-at-home trends. I'm just not optimistic that it can keep up its impressive numbers heading into the fall, when students go back to school and life potentially goes back to how it was before the pandemic.</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 Ridiculously Overpriced Stocks That Could Crash in a Market Correction</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 Ridiculously Overpriced Stocks That Could Crash in a Market Correction\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-04 22:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/04/3-ridiculously-overpriced-stocks-that-could-crash/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many investors are worried about a market crash as stock values continue to hover at record levels.

Peloton\nPeloton was a popular stay-at-home stock for investors to hold during the pandemic, as consumers weren't able to visit the gym and instead opted for the company's bikes and treadmills. But bad press (involving a recall after a treadmill accident led to the death of a child) combined with investors' general move toward stocks that will do well upon reopenings to leave Peloton's stock in a tailspin; year to date, its shares are down more than 22% while the S&P 500 has risen by 17%.\nHowever, even with the decline in share price, the stock is still incredibly expensive given the business' underwhelming numbers. While Peloton is profitable, its profit margin over the trailing 12 months is just less than 6%, and two of the past five quarters have been in the red. Its price-to-earnings multiple is more than 140, which is obscene by any comparison. And with a P/S multiple of 10, it's not terribly cheap on that metric, either.\nMy concern is that the company's growth rate could start to decline as people go back to gyms, and that could make staying out of the red a challenge in future quarters. Workers are also quitting their jobs at record levels, and that could put those consumers' finances in disarray, at least in the short term. The loss of a job (voluntary or not) could make buying a $1,000-plus bike just not that much of a priority anymore -- and it may not look nearly as affordable.\nUnless you have an incredibly rosy outlook for Peloton (which I don't), there's simply not much of a reason to buy the stock at its hefty valuation.\n3. Snap\nSnap is coming off a great second quarter in which it continued to do well even amid reopenings. The social media company behind Snapchat reported that its daily active users topped 293 million, up 23% year over year. Its revenue for the period ending June 30 totaled $982 million, more than double the $454 million that Snap reported a year ago, thanks largely to enhancements to its augmented reality platform. Its net loss of $152 million was also cut in half. Snap projects that its revenue will rise next quarter as well, but at a more modest rate between 58% and 60%.\nThe company is doing many things well, and solid user growth in this period -- when people have been less glued to their phones than during lockdowns -- is an impressive feat. But with Snap's stock rising more than 230% over the past year (the S&P 500 is up just 35%), its valuation has gotten out of control. Today, Snap trades at a P/S multiple of 33, well above the average stock in the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, where the P/S average is less than 7.\nThe stock certainly has potential if it can keep adding users and driving this level of revenue growth, but even management is forecasting some softness ahead in its top line. It wasn't until the pandemic that shares of Snap really took off, and there's no doubt the company benefited from stay-at-home trends. I'm just not optimistic that it can keep up its impressive numbers heading into the fall, when students go back to school and life potentially goes back to how it was before the pandemic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":145927759,"gmtCreate":1626187078771,"gmtModify":1703755164645,"author":{"id":"3584774305529798","authorId":"3584774305529798","name":"Epsjnr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fd798b067ea5271c2a8dd1229378368","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584774305529798","authorIdStr":"3584774305529798"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/145927759","repostId":"2151981561","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151981561","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":1626186840,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2151981561?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-13 22:34","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"An inflation storm is coming for the U.S. housing market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151981561","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Some economists suggest the government may be misunderstanding the size of the problem\nFast-rising h","content":"<p>Some economists suggest the government may be misunderstanding the size of the problem</p>\n<p>Fast-rising housing costs have helped cause the largest increase in inflation since 2008.

In other words, if the price of airfares surges 2.7%, as it did over the past month, families could decide against going on that summer getaway.\nThat choice isn't so simple when it comes to housing. As the cost of shelter increases it can have a \"cascading effect on extremely low-income renters,\" said Andrew Aurand, vice president for research at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.\nResearch from Aurand's organization has shown that more than 9.2 million \"extremely low-income\" renters are cost burdened by their housing, meaning they spent more than a third of their income on shelter-related expenses. Many of these households spend upwards of 50% on housing, leaving little money behind for other purchases.\nThe alternative for these households would be losing the roof over their heads. In recent years, that has become the reality for many Americans. A 2019 study released by the Trump administration estimated that more than 500,000 people sleep outdoors each night across the country, while many more couch surf or utilize shelters for unhoused people.\nMeanwhile, for people who own their homes, buying a property isn't the same as buying, say, a banana. Owning that banana won't benefit you financially in the long-run, whereas with a house you can expect to see its value increase and to profit off that. But a home isn't a pure investment asset like a stock -- it's a mix of both.\nHome prices can rise both because the actual structure itself may be worth more -- thanks to the rising cost of labor and lumber -- but also because people see value in it as a capital investment.\nAs a result, there can be a mismatch in the way economists or government statistician view rising home prices, and what that means to a consumer.\n\"In a market environment where prices are rising so quickly to buy a home the economist would say that's the increase in the price of the capital good,\" said Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders. \"But to the buyer, it represents a higher cost of living.\"\nWhy housing inflation is different\nPeople experience inflation vis-à-vis housing differently to most other products, and that makes it a challenging to measure.\nFor the typical homeowner, their housing costs likely haven't changed too much over the past year.\n\"If you have a fixed mortgage, on your home, year over year, how much does your cost of living in that home change? Not very much,\" Fleming said. \"The only things that change year over year are your escrows for taxes and insurance.\"\nEven with renters, the price of housing doesn't shift higher or lower from month to month. That's why the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects housing data more infrequently than most other items in the CPI basket of goods.\nFor renters and buyers, you encounter the changing cost when something about your living arrangement changed: When you move to a new home, sign a new lease or refinance your mortgage.\nBut Americans do need to know how much housing costs are rising or falling -- not the least of which because residential real-estate makes up such a huge portion of the nation's economy.\nThe government's Consumer Price Index calculates the \"imputed rent\" -- essentially the amount a homeowner is paying for their housing rather than paying a landlord.\nIf it did not do so, GDP would actually fall, Dietz said, \"because money that would be a rental payment in the marketplace paid by a renter suddenly disappears.\"\nTo bridge this challenge, the government relies on survey data to produce its estimates of housing costs for renters and homeowners. In renters' cases, they are simply asked how much they pay for housing.\nBut owners aren't asked what their mortgage payment is -- after all, not everyone has a mortgage. Instead, that's why they are asked to estimate how much they would be able to charge for rent to lease out their current home.\nGovernment statisticians survey the same cohort of Americans periodically to produce their findings and track changes over time to estimate housing costs.\n\"Inflation and [changes in] housing prices have generally been matched up,\" said Jonathan Needell, President and Chief Investment Officer of KIMC, a private real-estate investment company. He added that rising housing prices has \"exceeded inflation in some circumstances.\"\nSome researchers have argued, however, that this approach can also understate and/or be slow to identify true inflation occurring in the housing market.\nA new analysis showed that there is typically a lag between when home prices are actually rising, and when that price growth is reflected in inflation reports like the consumer price index.\nThe role played by COVID-19\nThe shifts in housing preferences and needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also complicated our ability to gauge the effect of inflation in the housing market.\nWealthier Americans, many of whom suddenly found themselves able to work remotely, chose to move away from major cities into larger and cheaper homes in the suburbs, often saving money in the process. As a result, rental rates declined in pricier neighborhoods.\nBut in more affordable areas, rents actually increased. Americans who lost their jobs because of the pandemic rushed to find cheaper housing, pushing rents higher for the least expensive apartments and homes in the suburbs.\nThose effects are beginning to dissipate, but will continue to weigh on official measures like the consumer price index given the time lags that occur.\nSo is housing quickly becoming more expensive? The answer, economists agree, is yes. First American Financial Services has its own measure, the Real House Price Index, which compares nominal-price gains with Americans' ability to afford to purchase a property based on the prevailing interest rates and household income.\nFor a period of time between 2018 and the beginning of 2020, the Real House Price Index was falling, because Americans' buying power was rising faster than home prices, Fleming said. That's not the case anymore.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":181,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":145905610,"gmtCreate":1626185064930,"gmtModify":1703755074498,"author":{"id":"3584774305529798","authorId":"3584774305529798","name":"Epsjnr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fd798b067ea5271c2a8dd1229378368","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584774305529798","authorIdStr":"3584774305529798"},"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/145905610","repostId":"2151565201","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151565201","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":1626177299,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2151565201?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-13 19:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Companies Are About To Post Blowout 1,000%+ Profit Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151565201","media":"Investors","summary":"S&P 500 investors are waiting for banner profit reports to kick off this week.

If that's right, it would be the largest quarterly profit posted by the S&amp;P 500 in more than a decade, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Profits are soaring back as the U.S. economy is reopening, jobs are plentiful and companies and consumers have lots of money to spend.

That's the largest upward profit growth forecast boost since FactSet has tracked it going back to 2002, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Skeptics might think this is just wishful thinking.

Just ask 10 S&amp;P 500 outliers.</p>\n<h2>Putting Up 1,000% Or More Profit Growth</h2>\n<p>Scanning the S&amp;P 500, Zimmer Biomet is the company to beat in terms of profit growth. Analysts think it will earn $1.86 a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter. That's up more than 3,600% from what it earned in the same period a year ago.</p>\n<p>The company makes a variety of orthopedic products like hip and knee replacements. Demand for such goods is expected to be strong as many people now get the optional procedures they put off during the pandemic. Zimmer Biomet reports its second quarter profit on Aug. 3. Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.</p>\n<p>Energy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.</p>\n<p>And when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&amp;P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share. Chipotle reports on July 20.</p>\n<p>So while it's going to be a powerful period of growth for the S&amp;P 500, it's still possible to beat the average.</p>\n<h2>A Bonanza Of Profit Is Coming</h2>\n<p><i>Analysts see 1,000% or more profit growth from these S&amp;P 500 companies in the second quarter</i></p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Company</th>\n   <th>Ticker</th>\n   <th>Q2 EPS % Ch.</th>\n   <th>Primary Sector</th>\n   <th>Composite Rating</th>\n   <th>% stock YTD ch.</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Zimmer Biomet</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>3,620.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>39</td>\n   <td>3.8%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Freeport-McMoRan</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,353.3%</b></td>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>93</td>\n   <td>40.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Hasbro</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,285.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>67</td>\n   <td>4.9%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,150.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>88</td>\n   <td>40.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>W.

Already 66 S&P 500 companies, also a record, said second-quarter profit will top their earlier targets.\nSo how you stand out when most companies' profits are booming? Just ask 10 S&P 500 outliers.\nPutting Up 1,000% Or More Profit Growth\nScanning the S&P 500, Zimmer Biomet is the company to beat in terms of profit growth. Analysts think it will earn $1.86 a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter. That's up more than 3,600% from what it earned in the same period a year ago.\nThe company makes a variety of orthopedic products like hip and knee replacements. Demand for such goods is expected to be strong as many people now get the optional procedures they put off during the pandemic. Zimmer Biomet reports its second quarter profit on Aug. 3. Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.\nEnergy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.\nAnd when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share. Chipotle reports on July 20.\nSo while it's going to be a powerful period of growth for the S&P 500, it's still possible to beat the average.\nA Bonanza Of Profit Is Coming\nAnalysts see 1,000% or more profit growth from these S&P 500 companies in the second quarter\n\n\n\nCompany\nTicker\nQ2 EPS % Ch.\nPrimary Sector\nComposite Rating\n% stock YTD ch.\n\n\n\n\nZimmer Biomet\n\n3,620.0%\nHealth Care\n39\n3.8%\n\n\nFreeport-McMoRan\n\n2,353.3%\nMaterials\n93\n40.4%\n\n\nHasbro\n\n2,285.0%\nConsumer Discretionary\n67\n4.9%\n\n\nSynchrony Financial\n\n2,150.0%\nFinancials\n88\n40.4%\n\n\nW.

Compared to 2019 fiscal first quarter, total enterprise comparable sales increased 3%, driven by digital sales growth of 84%.\n\nComparable3sales included an estimated 13% impact from fleet optimization activity when compared to the fiscal 2020 first quarter.\n\nBed Bath & Beyondbanner sales increased 96% compared to the prior year period as the Company had a significant number of stores closed during the 2020 fiscal first quarter at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nBed Bath & Beyondbanner sales were driven by growth in its key destination categories, which includes Bedding, Bath,Kitchen Food Prep,Indoor Decor and Home Organization. In total, these categories delivered strong sales growth of more than 100% compared to the 2020 fiscal first quarter and growth of 7% on a comparable sales basis versus the 2019 fiscal first quarter. These categories represented approximately two-thirds of totalBed Bath & Beyondbanner sales in the first quarter.\n\nThe buybuy BABY banner continued to deliver positive sales growth with net sales increasing more than 20% compared to the 2020 fiscal first quarter, and an increase of low-single digits on a comparable sales basis versus the 2019 fiscal first quarter. Comparable sales were driven by more than 50% growth in digital.\nGross margin was 32.4% for the quarter. Excluding special items from both periods, adjusted2gross margin increased 820 basis points to 34.9%, primarily driven by a favorable product mix from Owned Brand launches as well as a more normalized mix of digital sales coupled with a strong recovery in store sales growth.\nSG&A expense, on both a GAAP and adjusted basis, decreased significantly compared to the prior year period, primarily due to cost reductions including divestitures of non-core assets and lower rent and occupancy expenses on more efficient stores. This was partially offset by incremental marketing investments to support the Company's \"Home, Happier\" campaign as well as the initial launches of the Company's Owned Brands.\nAdjusted2EBITDA for the period improved to$86 millioncompared to last year, primarily due to higher sales and adjusted2gross margin expansion, which were partially offset by incremental marketing investments to support the Company's \"Home, Happier\" campaign as well as the initial launches of the Company's Owned Brands.\nNet loss per diluted share of$0.48includes approximately$56 millionfrom special items. Excluding special items, adjusted2net earnings per diluted share was$0.05. Special items reflect charges such as non-cash impairments related to certain store-level assets and tradenames, loss on sale of businesses, loss on the extinguishment of debt, and charges recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring and transformation initiatives. Restructuring and transformation initiatives includes accelerated markdowns and inventory reserves related to the planned assortment transition to Owned Brands and costs associated with store closures related to the Company's fleet optimization, and the income tax impact of these items.\nAs expected, operating cash flow usage of$28 millionwas in-line with historical first quarter seasonality and working capital needs. Accordingly, free cash flow5was an investment of$102 millionas a result of$74 millionof planned capital expenditures in connection with store remodels, supply chain and IT systems.\nInventory reduced by approximately$110 millioncompared to the end of fiscal 2020, was primarily related to seasonal selling and product transitions in preparation for the introduction of the Company's Owned Brands, as well as store closures related to the Company's fleet optimization activity.\n$130 millionin capital return to shareholders through share repurchases.\nCash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments balance were approximately$1.2 billion.\nTotal Liquidity4was approximately$1.9 billion, including the Company's asset based revolving credit facility.\n\nGuidance Outlook\nAs a reminder,Net Salesthroughout fiscal 2021 include the Company's Core1businesses and reflects planned reductions related to the Company's store fleet optimization activity.\nFiscal 2021 Second Quarter Outlook\nThe Company expects fiscal 2021 second quarterNet Salesof between$2.04 billionto$2.08 billion, which only reflects sales from the Company's Core1businesses. Net Salesalso includes planned sales reductions from the Company's store fleet optimization program of approximately 9% to 10%. On a Comparable Sales basis, the Company expects to achieve growth in the low-single digit range compared to the prior year period.\nThe Company expects to achieve Adjusted2Gross Margin in the range of 35% to 36%.  This represents a sequential improvement versus the 2021 fiscal first quarter primarily driven by continued assortment curation and a higher penetration of the Company's Owned Brands.  Additionally, this guidance reflects the on-going, year-over-year impact of higher, industry-wide freight costs.\nThe Company expects Adjusted2EBITDA between $150 millionto$160 millionand Adjusted2EPS in the range of$0.48to$0.55for the fiscal 2021 second quarter.\nFiscal Year 2021 Outlook\nBased on strong performance in the fiscal first quarter and current expectations for the fiscal second quarter, the Company is raising its fiscal year 2021 guidance outlook.\nThe Company now expects higher fiscal year 2021 Net Sales of$8.2 billionto$8.4 billionfrom$8.0 billionto$8.2 billion.

LI is a stock worth monitoring, with an improved and newer product as a catalyst and capitalizing on its growth to become the first EV to generate a positive bottom line.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":473,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":890129073,"gmtCreate":1628087560392,"gmtModify":1703501043027,"author":{"id":"3584774305529798","authorId":"3584774305529798","name":"Epsjnr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fd798b067ea5271c2a8dd1229378368","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584774305529798","idStr":"3584774305529798"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890129073","repostId":"1187165636","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890164658,"gmtCreate":1628087492774,"gmtModify":1703501039396,"author":{"id":"3584774305529798","authorId":"3584774305529798","name":"Epsjnr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fd798b067ea5271c2a8dd1229378368","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584774305529798","idStr":"3584774305529798"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell snap","listText":"Sell snap","text":"Sell snap","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890164658","repostId":"2156101387","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2156101387","pubTimestamp":1628086620,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2156101387?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-04 22:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Ridiculously Overpriced Stocks That Could Crash in a Market Correction","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2156101387","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Now may be the time to sell these stocks before their bubbles pop.","content":"<p>Many investors are worried about a market crash as stock values continue to hover at record levels.

Shockwave Medical</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HCSG\">Healthcare</a> company Shockwave Medical uses shockwaves to break up calcium deposits. The company's catheters can help in situations where blood flow is restricted. And earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the company's shockwave pressure wave therapy the green light to treat advanced heart disease. It's an exciting opportunity for the business, because experts say calcification can present a serious obstacle for physicians when doing angioplasty procedures -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that current tools may not be able to overcome.</p>\n<p>But despite the potential growth opportunities ahead for the business, the stock may just be too expensive of a buy right now. For the first three months of 2021, sales of $31.9 million weren't even enough to cover the company's operating expenses of $41.5 million. While the year-over-year revenue growth of 110% was impressive, it's still hard to justify the $6.4 billion valuation, which puts Shockwave Medical's stock at a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of more than 73. By comparison, the average stock in the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> trades at just 11 times its revenue, and those are holdings that possess high growth potential.</p>\n<p>Unless you are willing to hold Shockwave Medical for the very long term, a safer bet may be to leave it on a watchlist for now and wait for it to fall in price. In the meantime, there are plenty of other value buys that may be safer to hold right now.</p>\n<h3>2. Peloton</h3>\n<p>Peloton was a popular stay-at-home stock for investors to hold during the pandemic, as consumers weren't able to visit the gym and instead opted for the company's bikes and treadmills. But bad press (involving a recall after a treadmill accident led to the death of a child) combined with investors' general move toward stocks that will do well upon reopenings to leave Peloton's stock in a tailspin; year to date, its shares are down more than 22% while the S&amp;P 500 has risen by 17%.</p>\n<p>However, even with the decline in share price, the stock is still incredibly expensive given the business' underwhelming numbers. While Peloton is profitable, its profit margin over the trailing 12 months is just less than 6%, and two of the past five quarters have been in the red. Its price-to-earnings multiple is more than 140, which is obscene by any comparison. And with a P/S multiple of 10, it's not terribly cheap on that metric, either.</p>\n<p>My concern is that the company's growth rate could start to decline as people go back to gyms, and that could make staying out of the red a challenge in future quarters. Workers are also quitting their jobs at record levels, and that could put those consumers' finances in disarray, at least in the short term. The loss of a job (voluntary or not) could make buying a $1,000-plus bike just not that much of a priority anymore -- and it may not look nearly as affordable.</p>\n<p>Unless you have an incredibly rosy outlook for Peloton (which I don't), there's simply not much of a reason to buy the stock at its hefty valuation.</p>\n<h3>3. Snap</h3>\n<p>Snap is coming off a great second quarter in which it continued to do well even amid reopenings. The social media company behind Snapchat reported that its daily active users topped 293 million, up 23% year over year. Its revenue for the period ending June 30 totaled $982 million, more than double the $454 million that Snap reported a year ago, thanks largely to enhancements to its augmented reality platform. Its net loss of $152 million was also cut in half. Snap projects that its revenue will rise next quarter as well, but at a more modest rate between 58% and 60%.</p>\n<p>The company is doing many things well, and solid user growth in this period -- when people have been less glued to their phones than during lockdowns -- is an impressive feat. But with Snap's stock rising more than 230% over the past year (the S&amp;P 500 is up just 35%), its valuation has gotten out of control. Today, Snap trades at a P/S multiple of 33, well above the average stock in the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLK\">Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund</a></b>, where the P/S average is less than 7.</p>\n<p>The stock certainly has potential if it can keep adding users and driving this level of revenue growth, but even management is forecasting some softness ahead in its top line. It wasn't until the pandemic that shares of Snap really took off, and there's no doubt the company benefited from stay-at-home trends. I'm just not optimistic that it can keep up its impressive numbers heading into the fall, when students go back to school and life potentially goes back to how it was before the pandemic.</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 Ridiculously Overpriced Stocks That Could Crash in a Market Correction</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 Ridiculously Overpriced Stocks That Could Crash in a Market Correction\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-04 22:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/04/3-ridiculously-overpriced-stocks-that-could-crash/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many investors are worried about a market crash as stock values continue to hover at record levels.

But the way that government statisticians track the price of consumer goods may be missing just how explosive home-price growth really has been in recent months.</p>\n<p>The cost of shelter rose by 0.5% between May and June, according to the latest edition of the monthly consumer price index released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Compared with last year, however, shelter costs were up 2.6%.</p>\n<p>Altogether, the rise in housing prices accounted for roughly a fifth of the overall increase in inflation in June, a reflection of how heavily government economists weight this spending category.</p>\n<p>But much of that increase was actually driven by the rising cost of hotels and motel stays, which are factored into the overall shelter figure. Between May and June, the cost of a hotel room increased nearly 8%. Comparatively, housing costs for renters and homeowners rose 0.2% and 0.3% respectively, per the government's inflation measure.</p>\n<p>If those figures seem off based on your own experience of buying a home or signing a new lease as of late, it's not a surprise. Not everyone agrees on the rate of house-price growth.</p>\n<p>Other data suggested a much faster pace of home price appreciation and rental growth, well in excess of that level.</p>\n<p>The most recent report from the Case-Shiller Home Price Index for April showed that home prices were up 14.6% nationally, which marked the highest increase in the more than 30 years of S&amp;P <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLGX\">CoreLogic</a> Case-Shiller data.</p>\n<p>So how does the CPI calculate housing? First, housing units themselves are not included the CPI market basket.</p>\n<p>Second, rental data to establish how prices are changing are collected every six months. The calculations for most other CPI items are collected monthly or bimonthly.</p>\n<p>\"Like most other economic series, the CPI views housing units as capital (or investment) goods and not as consumption items,\" the Bureau of Labor Statistics says . \"Spending to purchase and improve houses and other housing units is investment and not consumption.\"</p>\n<p>\"The cost of shelter for renter-occupied housing is rent. For an owner-occupied unit, the cost of shelter is the implicit rent that owner occupants would have to pay if they were renting their homes,\" the bureau adds.</p>\n<p>The government pollsters ask homeowners: \"If someone were to rent your home today, how much do you think it would rent for monthly, unfurnished and without utilities?\"</p>\n<p>And they ask renters: \"What is the rental charge to your [household] for this unit including any extra charges for garage and parking facilities? Do not include direct payments by local, state or federal agencies. What period of time does this cover?\"</p>\n<p>Housing isn't like other goods</p>\n<p>\"The rate of house price appreciation is not akin to inflation,\" said Mark Fleming, chief economist at title insurance company First American Financial Services FAF (#phrase-company?ref=COMPANY%7CFAF;onlineSignificance=prominent).</p>\n<p>For a start, housing is a very basic necessity. \"Demand for shelter doesn't go away -- it just moves around,\" Fleming said. In other words, if the price of airfares surges 2.7%, as it did over the past month, families could decide against going on that summer getaway.</p>\n<p>That choice isn't so simple when it comes to housing. As the cost of shelter increases it can have a \"cascading effect on extremely low-income renters,\" said Andrew Aurand, vice president for research at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.</p>\n<p>Research from Aurand's organization has shown that more than 9.2 million \"extremely low-income\" renters are cost burdened by their housing, meaning they spent more than a third of their income on shelter-related expenses. Many of these households spend upwards of 50% on housing, leaving little money behind for other purchases.</p>\n<p>The alternative for these households would be losing the roof over their heads. In recent years, that has become the reality for many Americans. A 2019 study released by the Trump administration estimated that more than 500,000 people sleep outdoors each night across the country, while many more couch surf or utilize shelters for unhoused people.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, for people who own their homes, buying a property isn't the same as buying, say, a banana. Owning that banana won't benefit you financially in the long-run, whereas with a house you can expect to see its value increase and to profit off that. But a home isn't a pure investment asset like a stock -- it's a mix of both.</p>\n<p>Home prices can rise both because the actual structure itself may be worth more -- thanks to the rising cost of labor and lumber -- but also because people see value in it as a capital investment.</p>\n<p>As a result, there can be a mismatch in the way economists or government statistician view rising home prices, and what that means to a consumer.</p>\n<p>\"In a market environment where prices are rising so quickly to buy a home the economist would say that's the increase in the price of the capital good,\" said Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders. \"But to the buyer, it represents a higher cost of living.\"</p>\n<p>Why housing inflation is different</p>\n<p>People experience inflation vis-à-vis housing differently to most other products, and that makes it a challenging to measure.</p>\n<p>For the typical homeowner, their housing costs likely haven't changed too much over the past year.</p>\n<p>\"If you have a fixed mortgage, on your home, year over year, how much does your cost of living in that home change? Not very much,\" Fleming said. \"The only things that change year over year are your escrows for taxes and insurance.\"</p>\n<p>Even with renters, the price of housing doesn't shift higher or lower from month to month. That's why the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects housing data more infrequently than most other items in the CPI basket of goods.</p>\n<p>For renters and buyers, you encounter the changing cost when something about your living arrangement changed: When you move to a new home, sign a new lease or refinance your mortgage.</p>\n<p>But Americans do need to know how much housing costs are rising or falling -- not the least of which because residential real-estate makes up such a huge portion of the nation's economy.</p>\n<p>The government's Consumer Price Index calculates the \"imputed rent\" -- essentially the amount a homeowner is paying for their housing rather than paying a landlord.</p>\n<p>If it did not do so, GDP would actually fall, Dietz said, \"because money that would be a rental payment in the marketplace paid by a renter suddenly disappears.\"</p>\n<p>To bridge this challenge, the government relies on survey data to produce its estimates of housing costs for renters and homeowners. In renters' cases, they are simply asked how much they pay for housing.</p>\n<p>But owners aren't asked what their mortgage payment is -- after all, not everyone has a mortgage. Instead, that's why they are asked to estimate how much they would be able to charge for rent to lease out their current home.</p>\n<p>Government statisticians survey the same cohort of Americans periodically to produce their findings and track changes over time to estimate housing costs.</p>\n<p>\"Inflation and [changes in] housing prices have generally been matched up,\" said Jonathan Needell, President and Chief Investment Officer of KIMC, a private real-estate investment company. He added that rising housing prices has \"exceeded inflation in some circumstances.\"</p>\n<p>Some researchers have argued, however, that this approach can also understate and/or be slow to identify true inflation occurring in the housing market.</p>\n<p>A new analysis showed that there is typically a lag between when home prices are actually rising, and when that price growth is reflected in inflation reports like the consumer price index.</p>\n<p>The role played by COVID-19</p>\n<p>The shifts in housing preferences and needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also complicated our ability to gauge the effect of inflation in the housing market.</p>\n<p>Wealthier Americans, many of whom suddenly found themselves able to work remotely, chose to move away from major cities into larger and cheaper homes in the suburbs, often saving money in the process. As a result, rental rates declined in pricier neighborhoods.</p>\n<p>But in more affordable areas, rents actually increased.

Its NEDC range is 1,080 kilometers, while its WLTC range is 890 kilometers.

(NASDAQ:LI) bottomed at the 15 level and began to recover as the future of electric vehicles remains strong, with political support. LI continues its outstanding performance with the potential to generate a positive bottom line in 2022. The company announced a brand new product, which will allow them to retain a competitive edge against its peers. LI is undervalued at an EV/REVENUE multiple of 9.9x.\nOverview\nAs a result of the pandemic and chip supply constraints, EV companies are forced to play defensively, resulting in a 13% reduction in LI's Q1 2021 production from Q4 2020. Despite the chip shortages, China is set for a sustained period of solid EV growth of 51% in 2021.\n\nSource\nThe production slowdown is temporary and will subside as the global economy continues to recover from the pandemic. How are the leading Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers faring during the post-pandemic period? LI, NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO), and XPeng Inc. (NYSE:XPEV) all reported outstanding Q1 deliveries of 12,579, 20,060, and 13,340 units, respectively.\n\nSource: Prepared by the Author\nLI generated $1.67 billion of total revenue TTM lower compared to its peers' mean and higher by 15 percent compared to 2020. However, when compared to Q1 2020, the result is an outstanding 354%.\n2021 Li ONE\nOn May 25, 2021, LI officially released a statement about the launch of their 2021 Li ONE, the world's first vehicle with navigation on ADAS (NOA) as a standard configuration. 2021 Li ONE underwent extensive upgrades, including software and hardware optimization and an integrated Powertrain system. Its NEDC range is 1,080 kilometers, while its WLTC range is 890 kilometers. Its fuel economy mode contains 6.05 liters per 100 kilometers under NEDC-standard operating conditions, which is the best in class among large four-wheel-drive SUVs. Delivery of the 2021 Li ONE will commence on June 1st.\nIn theirUnaudited Q1 report, LI explained that its core values regarding safety should be mandatory, not optional, so they developed the NOA system. Thus, the company became the first OEM to offer a standard configuration of a full-stack self-developed NOA based on domestic application processors.\nBusiness Outlook\nThe company anticipates the following for the second quarter of 2021:\n\nTotal vehicles to be delivered: between 14,500 and 15,500 units, an increase of 119.6% to 134.7% over the second quarter of 2020.\nTotal revenues to be generated: between RMB3.99 billion (US$609.0 million) and RMB4.27 billion (US$651.7 million), up between 104.6% to 119% from Q2 2020.\n\n\nSource: Presented By the Author,Estimates from Analyst\nUsing the analyst estimate, I forecasted a three-year LI model. If LI continues to materialize revenue growth and maintains a competitive advantage by upgrading Li ONE while developing new models, there is no doubt that they will generate a positive net income by 2022, likely ahead of their peers.\nPrice Action: Bullish Breakout, MACD Crossover, Resting Volume\n\nSource: TradingView\nLI recently broke out a bullish diagonal pattern together with MACD crossover in its daily timeframe. I plotted three key levels where price might make a discount before retesting last year's high of $47 levels.\nRisk\nIncreasing Competition\nChinese EV manufacturers like LI will face tighter competition as the US makes its steps to fasten its EV manufacturers by giving tax incentives to buy electronic vehicles. Such companies include Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) and Lordstown Motors Corp. (NASDAQ:RIDE). I recently wrote aboutLordstown Motors' Future Stock In Play, which leads me to wonder whether RIDE can be a potential competitor of LI in the future.\n\n\"On May 19, 2021, according to the White House,Bidenhas ruled out consumer incentives for high-priced electric luxury models, as he advocates for massive government spending to entice Americans to buy electric vehicles.\"\n\nFinal Key Takeaways\nStrategic partnerships, such as one announced by LI with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) in September 2020, became critical to the company's long-term success. In April 2021, LIreportedthat they are developing next-gen EVs using NVIDIA DRIVE Orin, to be shipped in 2022. LI's new EVs are being developed in collaboration with tier-1 supplier Desay SV and will feature advanced autonomous driving capabilities and a longer battery range. This will be accelerated further by PresidentJoe Biden's$50 billion stimulus package to stimulate the semiconductor industry.\n\nWhen LI is compared to its peers via the EV/REVENUE multiple, it is clear that LI operates more efficiently than its competitors, implying that LI is undervalued at a 9.9x EV/REVENUE multiple. LI is a stock worth monitoring, with an improved and newer product as a catalyst and capitalizing on its growth to become the first EV to generate a positive bottom line.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":473,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836460436,"gmtCreate":1629515068625,"gmtModify":1676530063263,"author":{"id":"3584774305529798","authorId":"3584774305529798","name":"Epsjnr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fd798b067ea5271c2a8dd1229378368","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584774305529798","idStr":"3584774305529798"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes&nbsp;","listText":"Yes&nbsp;","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/836460436","repostId":"2160710461","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2160710461","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":1629472143,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2160710461?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-20 23:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Market Rally Finds Support Amid Fed Taper Talk; Nvidia, Cisco, Target Earnings In Focus, Tesla AI Day Touts 'Tesla Bot': Weekly Review","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2160710461","media":"Investors","summary":"Stocks fell this week on Fed taper talk, but found key support. Nvidia led earnings winners. Elon Musk teased a Tesla Bot.","content":"<p>The stock market rally suffered losses in the latest week, amid Fed taper talk, some weak economic data and further <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a> crackdowns on private enterprise. But the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 index found support at their 50-day lines; the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NDAQ\">Nasdaq</a>, after falling below the 50-day, regained that key level on Friday. Market breadth weakened further over the week. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">NVIDIA Corp</a></b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CSCO\">Cisco</a></b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Ltd</a>.</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/M\">Macy's</a></b> were earnings winners, but <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HD\">Home Depot</a></b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TGT\">Target</a></b> sold off. At Tesla AI Day, Elon Musk said he'll likely have a prototype humanoid robot by next year.</p>\n<h2>Stock Market Rally Finds Support</h2>\n<p>The stock market rally retreated this past week as the Fed signaled it could begin tapering bond buys this year. Some weak economic data in the U.S. and China also didn't help. But the Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500 and, ultimately, the Nasdaq found support around the 50-day line. Market breadth remains narrow. Crude oil prices fell sharply, with copper and industrial metals also down.</p>\n<h2>Fed Eyes Exit Amid Mixed Economic Data</h2>\n<p>The Federal Reserve is getting ready to start tapering bond buys before year-end, according to minutes from the July Fed meeting. That comes amid mixed economic data. July retail sales fell 1.1%, as Americans balked at soaring auto prices. Ex auto sales unexpectedly dipped 0.4%. Americans also are spending less on housing-related items and e-commerce sites. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QSR\">Restaurant</a> revenue rose, though rising Covid cases could curb dining out again. Homebuilder confidence fell from very high levels, as high prices deter potential buyers. Jobless claims hit a post-pandemic low but regional factory gauges were weaker than expected. Chinese retail sales and industrial production growth slowed more than expected in July, as floods and Covid restrictions took their toll.</p>\n<h2>Nvidia Earnings Delight</h2>\n<p>Graphics-chip maker <b>Nvidia</b> reported an 89% EPS gain as sales climbed 68% to $6.51 billion amid strong gaming and data center chip sales. Nvidia also raised guidance. Shares rose on earnings, but were down for the week. Chip-equipment supplier <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">Applied Materials</a></b> and chipmaker <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADI\">Analog Devices</a></b> delivered beat-and-raise reports. However, shares of both companies wavered on the news.</p>\n<h2>Discount Giants Beat Views</h2>\n<p><b>Walmart</b> reported a 14% EPS gain while revenue edged up 2.4% to $141.05 billion. <b>Target</b> EPS grew 8% as sales climbed 9.5% to $25.2 billion. E-commerce and other sales growth is slowing, in part due to tougher comparisons. Both companies gave a strong earnings outlook, and could benefit from President Biden's big boost to food-stamp benefits. Walmart is the nation's top seller of groceries and Target has expanded in this space. WMT stock was little changed while Target tumbled.</p>\n<h2>Tesla Hosts AI Event, Autopilot Crashes Probed</h2>\n<p>Tesla hosted AI Day on Thursday night to showcase its progress in the use of artificial intelligence. The event was ostensibly aimed at recruiting engineers, gave a complex presentation on self-driving. Elon Musk also said Tesla \"probably\" will release a prototype humanoid robot sometime next year. The event was held as the EV maker faces mounting scrutiny of its self-driving claims. U.S. senators called for an FTC probe just days after the NHTSA formally launched an investigation into several Tesla Autopilot crashes involving stationary vehicles at first responder sites. The NHTSA indicated a tougher standard for Autopilot than in previous probes.</p>\n<h2>Cisco Earnings Top</h2>\n<p><b>Cisco Systems</b> reported fiscal Q4 EPS rose 5%, just beating. Revenue rose 8% to $13.1 billion, including acquisitions such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ACIA\">Acacia</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JCS\">Communications</a>. That slightly topped estimates. Software revenue climbed 9% to $4 billion, up 9% year-over-year. For the October quarter, Cisco guided slightly lower on EPS. But it guided up on fiscal Q1 and 2022 revenue targets. Shares rallied on earnings, moving higher in the buy zone.</p>\n<h2>Department Stores More Upbeat</h2>\n<p><b>Macy's</b> and <b>Kohl's</b> reported second-quarter results that beat estimates, and both raised their full-year financial forecasts. Macy's also announced a buyback and revived a dividend. The department stores reported even as the pandemic still rages across much of the U.S. Macy's stock surged to a 52-week high while Kohl's popped. Meanwhile, <b>Amazon</b>, which in recent years has spurred retailers to adapt to digital shopping, is now planning to open its own large-format stores, according to the Wall Street Journal.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HBCP\">Home</a> Depot, Lowe's Earnings Beat</h2>\n<p><b>Home Depot</b> reported EPS rose 13% on an 8% sales increase to $41.12 billion. Same-store sales rose 4.5%, with U.S. comps up 3.4%, missing some forecasts. The home improvement chain reported a 5.8% drop in customer transactions from a year earlier, but the average ticket was 11.3% larger, suggesting fewer DIY customers. Meanwhile, <b>Lowe's</b> said <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> EPS grew 13%, while sales were up 1% at $27.6 billion, both above estimates. Same-store sales fell a less-than-expected 1.6%. HD stock fell solidly while Lowe's jumped.</p>\n<h2>TJMaxx, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ROST\">Ross</a> Earnings Rebound</h2>\n<p>Off-price retailer <b>TJX</b>, parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, earned 64 cents a share vs. an 18-cent loss a year earlier and above views for 59 cents. Sales shot up 81% to $12.1 billion, also above estimates. TJX open-only comps rose 20%, above estimates for 14.5%. <b>Ross Stores</b> posted EPS of $1.39, rebounding from an 11-cent loss in the same period last year. Sales were up 79% to $4.8 billion. But Ross gave weak guidance. TJX stock jumped while Ross Stores fell.</p>\n<p>Deere &amp; Co. DE raised full-year guidance after third-quarter earnings rebounded&nbsp;107% to $5.32 per share, with revenue jumping 29% to&nbsp;$11.527 billion, an overall beat. The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAT\">Caterpillar</a> CAT rival's agriculture, construction, and turf equipment segments all posted robust gains, despite supply-chain challenges. Deere expects to keep benefiting from \"favorable fundamentals\" in its core&nbsp;farm and construction markets, which includes the planned $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Deere makes excavators, bulldozers, timber harvesters and dump trucks used in construction. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic especially hit&nbsp;shipments of Deere's construction and forestry equipment, also forcing its factories to operate at reduced capacity.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Ltd</a>. Revenue Booms</h2>\n<p>Asian e-commerce and gaming company <b>Sea Ltd.</b> reported a 159% revenue gain to $2.28 billion, the third straight quarter of accelerating year-over-year growth. It also raised guidance. Shares rose to a new high.</p>\n<h2>China Earnings Mixed Amid Crackdown</h2>\n<p>Messaging and gaming giant <b>Tencent Holdings</b> reported mixed results as Beijing cracks down vs. web platforms and many other private-sector sectors. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TME\">Tencent Music</a></b> beat Q2 EPS views, as its advertising business rebounded and more people subscribed to its music streaming platform. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VIPS\">Vipshop</a></b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WB\">Weibo</a></b> also reported mixed results. China stocks have been under heavy pressure, with valuations cut roughly in half this year due to an ongoing government crackdown. Tencent and for-profit school firms warned of regulatory impacts on operations.</p>\n<p><b>Global-e Online</b> beat revenue estimates and raised its outlook for the current quarter and full year when the e-commerce software maker reported quarterly results, its first as a public company.</p>\n<p><b>Sonos</b> soared after a U.S. International Trade Commission judge ruled that <b>Google</b> infringed on patents held by the maker of wireless audio technology.</p>\n<p><b>T-Mobile</b> fell nearly 3% on Monday after a hacker reportedly claimed to be selling personal data from more than 100 million customers.</p>\n<p><b>BJ's Wholesale Club</b>, a warehouse club retail chain, reported second-quarter results that topped expectations. The company said its \"view of the future has improved from last quarter,\" but didn't offer formal guidance.</p>\n<p><b>Roblox</b> reported a wider-than-expected loss while bookings lagged views for the online gaming platform. Daily active users rose 29% year over year to 43.2 million, in line with estimates.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNPS\">Synopsys</a></b> bolted higher after the chip design software firm posted a beat-and-raise quarterly report. Q3 EPS rose 4% as revenue grew 10% to $1.06 billion.</p>\n<p><b>ZIM Integrated Shipping Services</b> crushed views on rising container volumes and guided high. EPS shot up to $7.38 from 23 cents a year ago. Revenue vaulted 199% to $2.38 billion.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EL\">Estee Lauder</a></b>: reported Q4 earnings of 78 cents a share, reversing a year-earlier loss.

But the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 index found support at their 50-day lines; the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NDAQ\">Nasdaq</a>, after falling below the 50-day, regained that key level on Friday. Market breadth weakened further over the week. <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">NVIDIA Corp</a></b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CSCO\">Cisco</a></b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Ltd</a>.</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/M\">Macy's</a></b> were earnings winners, but <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HD\">Home Depot</a></b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TGT\">Target</a></b> sold off. At Tesla AI Day, Elon Musk said he'll likely have a prototype humanoid robot by next year.</p>\n<h2>Stock Market Rally Finds Support</h2>\n<p>The stock market rally retreated this past week as the Fed signaled it could begin tapering bond buys this year. Some weak economic data in the U.S. and China also didn't help. But the Dow Jones, S&amp;P 500 and, ultimately, the Nasdaq found support around the 50-day line. Market breadth remains narrow. Crude oil prices fell sharply, with copper and industrial metals also down.</p>\n<h2>Fed Eyes Exit Amid Mixed Economic Data</h2>\n<p>The Federal Reserve is getting ready to start tapering bond buys before year-end, according to minutes from the July Fed meeting. That comes amid mixed economic data. July retail sales fell 1.1%, as Americans balked at soaring auto prices. Ex auto sales unexpectedly dipped 0.4%. Americans also are spending less on housing-related items and e-commerce sites. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QSR\">Restaurant</a> revenue rose, though rising Covid cases could curb dining out again. Homebuilder confidence fell from very high levels, as high prices deter potential buyers. Jobless claims hit a post-pandemic low but regional factory gauges were weaker than expected. Chinese retail sales and industrial production growth slowed more than expected in July, as floods and Covid restrictions took their toll.</p>\n<h2>Nvidia Earnings Delight</h2>\n<p>Graphics-chip maker <b>Nvidia</b> reported an 89% EPS gain as sales climbed 68% to $6.51 billion amid strong gaming and data center chip sales. Nvidia also raised guidance. Shares rose on earnings, but were down for the week. Chip-equipment supplier <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">Applied Materials</a></b> and chipmaker <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADI\">Analog Devices</a></b> delivered beat-and-raise reports. However, shares of both companies wavered on the news.</p>\n<h2>Discount Giants Beat Views</h2>\n<p><b>Walmart</b> reported a 14% EPS gain while revenue edged up 2.4% to $141.05 billion. <b>Target</b> EPS grew 8% as sales climbed 9.5% to $25.2 billion. E-commerce and other sales growth is slowing, in part due to tougher comparisons. Both companies gave a strong earnings outlook, and could benefit from President Biden's big boost to food-stamp benefits. Walmart is the nation's top seller of groceries and Target has expanded in this space. WMT stock was little changed while Target tumbled.</p>\n<h2>Tesla Hosts AI Event, Autopilot Crashes Probed</h2>\n<p>Tesla hosted AI Day on Thursday night to showcase its progress in the use of artificial intelligence. The event was ostensibly aimed at recruiting engineers, gave a complex presentation on self-driving. Elon Musk also said Tesla \"probably\" will release a prototype humanoid robot sometime next year. The event was held as the EV maker faces mounting scrutiny of its self-driving claims. U.S. senators called for an FTC probe just days after the NHTSA formally launched an investigation into several Tesla Autopilot crashes involving stationary vehicles at first responder sites. The NHTSA indicated a tougher standard for Autopilot than in previous probes.</p>\n<h2>Cisco Earnings Top</h2>\n<p><b>Cisco Systems</b> reported fiscal Q4 EPS rose 5%, just beating. Revenue rose 8% to $13.1 billion, including acquisitions such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ACIA\">Acacia</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JCS\">Communications</a>. That slightly topped estimates. Software revenue climbed 9% to $4 billion, up 9% year-over-year. For the October quarter, Cisco guided slightly lower on EPS. But it guided up on fiscal Q1 and 2022 revenue targets. Shares rallied on earnings, moving higher in the buy zone.</p>\n<h2>Department Stores More Upbeat</h2>\n<p><b>Macy's</b> and <b>Kohl's</b> reported second-quarter results that beat estimates, and both raised their full-year financial forecasts. Macy's also announced a buyback and revived a dividend. The department stores reported even as the pandemic still rages across much of the U.S. Macy's stock surged to a 52-week high while Kohl's popped. Meanwhile, <b>Amazon</b>, which in recent years has spurred retailers to adapt to digital shopping, is now planning to open its own large-format stores, according to the Wall Street Journal.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HBCP\">Home</a> Depot, Lowe's Earnings Beat</h2>\n<p><b>Home Depot</b> reported EPS rose 13% on an 8% sales increase to $41.12 billion. Same-store sales rose 4.5%, with U.S. comps up 3.4%, missing some forecasts. The home improvement chain reported a 5.8% drop in customer transactions from a year earlier, but the average ticket was 11.3% larger, suggesting fewer DIY customers. Meanwhile, <b>Lowe's</b> said <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> EPS grew 13%, while sales were up 1% at $27.6 billion, both above estimates. Same-store sales fell a less-than-expected 1.6%. HD stock fell solidly while Lowe's jumped.</p>\n<h2>TJMaxx, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ROST\">Ross</a> Earnings Rebound</h2>\n<p>Off-price retailer <b>TJX</b>, parent of T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, earned 64 cents a share vs. an 18-cent loss a year earlier and above views for 59 cents. Sales shot up 81% to $12.1 billion, also above estimates. TJX open-only comps rose 20%, above estimates for 14.5%. <b>Ross Stores</b> posted EPS of $1.39, rebounding from an 11-cent loss in the same period last year. Sales were up 79% to $4.8 billion. But Ross gave weak guidance. TJX stock jumped while Ross Stores fell.</p>\n<p>Deere &amp; Co. DE raised full-year guidance after third-quarter earnings rebounded&nbsp;107% to $5.32 per share, with revenue jumping 29% to&nbsp;$11.527 billion, an overall beat. The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAT\">Caterpillar</a> CAT rival's agriculture, construction, and turf equipment segments all posted robust gains, despite supply-chain challenges. Deere expects to keep benefiting from \"favorable fundamentals\" in its core&nbsp;farm and construction markets, which includes the planned $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Deere makes excavators, bulldozers, timber harvesters and dump trucks used in construction. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic especially hit&nbsp;shipments of Deere's construction and forestry equipment, also forcing its factories to operate at reduced capacity.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Ltd</a>.

And some companies' profit gains are likely to be more enormous than others.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect 10 S&amp;P 500 companies, including health care <b>Zimmer Biomet</b>, energy firm <b>Freeport-McMoRan</b> and consumer discretionary firm <b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>, to post massive adjusted profit per share growth of 1,000% or much more for the second quarter. And that would make these companies S&amp;P 500 standouts in a quarter already expected to be a massive <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> for profit growth, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSmith.</p>\n<p>\"We ran out of superlatives to describe corporate America's stunning performance during first-quarter earnings season,\" said Jeff Buchbinder, equity strategist at LPL Financial. \"So what will companies do for an encore? We expect more good news this quarter as more of the economy has opened up, while also acknowledging the second quarter will almost certainly end up being the peak in earnings growth for this cycle.\"</p>\n<p>Profit reports kick off this week with the banks. And what a peak it'll be for S&amp;P 50o profit.</p>\n<h2>S&amp;P 500 Headed To Amazing Quarterly Profit</h2>\n<p>Companies in the S&amp;P 500 are expected to post moonshot quarterly profit growth of 64% in the second quarter, says John Butters, earnings analyst at FactSet. If that's right, it would be the largest quarterly profit posted by the S&amp;P 500 in more than a decade, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Profits are soaring back as the U.S. economy is reopening, jobs are plentiful and companies and consumers have lots of money to spend. And the speed of the economy's rebound surprised most people. Analysts bumped up their profit forecasts for the quarter 7.2% since the end of March through June 30. That's the largest upward profit growth forecast boost since FactSet has tracked it going back to 2002, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Skeptics might think this is just wishful thinking. But early indications show there's reason to be optimistic. Already 66 S&amp;P 500 companies, also a record, said second-quarter profit will top their earlier targets.</p>\n<p>So how you stand out when most companies' profits are booming? Just ask 10 S&amp;P 500 outliers.</p>\n<h2>Putting Up 1,000% Or More Profit Growth</h2>\n<p>Scanning the S&amp;P 500, Zimmer Biomet is the company to beat in terms of profit growth. Analysts think it will earn $1.86 a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter. That's up more than 3,600% from what it earned in the same period a year ago.</p>\n<p>The company makes a variety of orthopedic products like hip and knee replacements. Demand for such goods is expected to be strong as many people now get the optional procedures they put off during the pandemic. Zimmer Biomet reports its second quarter profit on Aug. 3. Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.</p>\n<p>Energy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.</p>\n<p>And when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&amp;P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share. Chipotle reports on July 20.</p>\n<p>So while it's going to be a powerful period of growth for the S&amp;P 500, it's still possible to beat the average.</p>\n<h2>A Bonanza Of Profit Is Coming</h2>\n<p><i>Analysts see 1,000% or more profit growth from these S&amp;P 500 companies in the second quarter</i></p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Company</th>\n   <th>Ticker</th>\n   <th>Q2 EPS % Ch.</th>\n   <th>Primary Sector</th>\n   <th>Composite Rating</th>\n   <th>% stock YTD ch.</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Zimmer Biomet</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>3,620.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>39</td>\n   <td>3.8%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Freeport-McMoRan</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,353.3%</b></td>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>93</td>\n   <td>40.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Hasbro</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,285.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>67</td>\n   <td>4.9%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,150.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>88</td>\n   <td>40.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>W.
