As of December 31, 2021, there were 513,979,100 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.</blockquote><p>So the company had run up against its limit as far as Class A issuance was concerned – 514 million shares outstanding, and only 524 million shares authorised.</p><p>During 2021, the companyflirtedwith the idea of issuing more common stock, but many shareholders were reportedly unhappy with the prospect of yet more dilution.

Today, we answered your call.”</p><p>Again, in the traditions of finance, the purpose of dividends is to return cash to shareholders. Stock dividends are common enough, but how many of AMC’s shareholders, if any, called for a stock dividend rather than a cash dividend? And why? What is the useful economic purpose achieved by an AMC stock dividend?</p><p>He also wrote:</p><blockquote>So, too, this issuance of 516,820,595 new APEs will essentially serve the same purpose as the much voiced request for a “share count,” as the new AMC Preferred Equity unit will ONLY go to holders of company issued and outstanding AMC common shares. Again, today, we answered your call.</blockquote><p>Here, he is referring to aconspiracyamong some retail AMC shareholders, that the official AMC share count is somehow wrong. He is suggesting that the issuance of APEs will help to shut down this theory.</p><p>It should go without saying, but debunking conspiracy theories held by retail traders is not a good justification for a stock dividend.</p><p>He then veers into yet more questionable territory:</p><blockquote>Because the dividend is only being distributed to our current shareholder base as of the dividend record date, there also is NO DILUTION from this initial issuance of the APEs associated with this dividend, because these new APEs all go, and only go to holders of company issued AMC common shares. The number of issued and outstanding AMC common shares will remain at 516,820,595 after the dividend is paid, and each shareholder also will own one APE for every share of AMC common stock held.</blockquote><p>My objection to this statement is that while the initial APE issuance by itself did not dilute shareholders, their creation allowed for much greater shareholder dilution in the future.</p><p>Indeed, Mr. Aron explains in the shareholder letter that APEs will allow AMC “to raise money if we need or so choose, which immensely lessens any survival risk… [APE is] a currency that can be used in the future to further strengthen our balance sheet, including paying down some of our debt and other liabilities”.</p><h3>Latest filing</h3><p>All of which brings us to the latest filing, issuedSeptember 26th, 2022. A fundraising arrangement has been agreed with Citigroup:</p><blockquote>As a natural next step [to the APE issuance], today AMC entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) to allow for the sale from time to time of up to a maximum of 425,000,000 AMC Preferred Equity Units.</blockquote><p>Remember that AMC can issue up to 50 million units of Series A preferred stock.</p><p>The Series A preferred stock has been created with a 100x multiplier against the common stock. This means in total there could eventually be up to five billion APEs (the Board has currently allowed for up to a maximum of one billion APEs).</p><p>In the August FAQ sent to shareholders, the company said:</p><blockquote>The AMC Board currently has no plan or intention in calendar years 2022 or 2023 to authorize more than this initial 1 billion amount of APEs. However, AMC’s Board of directors may authorize additional AMC Preferred Equity units at any time in the future at its sole discretion, including in 2022 or 2023 if it deems such an issuance to be in AMC’s best interests...</blockquote><p>It’s noteworthy that they couldn’t wait even two months before making arrangements for the additional issuance of APEs.</p><p>APE currently trades at $3.64, an attractive discount to AMC common stock. Arbitrage between APE and AMC shares may be possible.</p><p>But unfortunately for the company, the low price of APE stock limits its usefulness when it comes to raising funds: even if the company sold the entire 425 million tranche announced today at $3 (a 20% discount to the latest APE share price), it would raise less than $1.3 billion.</p><p>According to the most recent 10-Q, the company has corporate borrowings (net of cash) of $4.4 billion. Therefore, unless the APE share price can rise considerably to absorb additional supply, APE issuance will provide only partial deleveraging relief to the company.</p><p>And while only providing partial relief, an additional 425 million APE shares would increase the company&#39;s total share count by over 41%.</p><p>Far from &#34;no dilution&#34;, I fear that AMC and APE shareholders will soon be facing very considerable dilution.</p></body></html>","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>AMC's APEs Are Almost Completely Pointless</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\">\nAMC's APEs Are Almost Completely Pointless\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-28 19:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4543397-apes-almost-completely-pointless><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryIf AMC and its institutional investors agreed on the company's balance sheet strategy, there would have been no reason for the company to have issued APE shares.The wide-ranging benefits of APE...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4543397-apes-almost-completely-pointless\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"APE":"AMC Entertainment Preferred","AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4543397-apes-almost-completely-pointless","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1176206551","content_text":"SummaryIf AMC and its institutional investors agreed on the company's balance sheet strategy, there would have been no reason for the company to have issued APE shares.The wide-ranging benefits of APE issuance, as described by CEO Adam Aron, are highly questionable.The primary purpose of APEs is to help the company raise funds, and the company has just made a filing that could see dilution of over 40% to AMC/APE shareholders.The big story at AMC Entertainment Holdings in recent months has been the issuance of preferred equity units (APE) to shareholders.Let’s revise the structure of these APE securities.

He is suggesting that the issuance of APEs will help to shut down this theory.It should go without saying, but debunking conspiracy theories held by retail traders is not a good justification for a stock dividend.He then veers into yet more questionable territory:Because the dividend is only being distributed to our current shareholder base as of the dividend record date, there also is NO DILUTION from this initial issuance of the APEs associated with this dividend, because these new APEs all go, and only go to holders of company issued AMC common shares. The number of issued and outstanding AMC common shares will remain at 516,820,595 after the dividend is paid, and each shareholder also will own one APE for every share of AMC common stock held.My objection to this statement is that while the initial APE issuance by itself did not dilute shareholders, their creation allowed for much greater shareholder dilution in the future.Indeed, Mr. Aron explains in the shareholder letter that APEs will allow AMC “to raise money if we need or so choose, which immensely lessens any survival risk… [APE is] a currency that can be used in the future to further strengthen our balance sheet, including paying down some of our debt and other liabilities”.Latest filingAll of which brings us to the latest filing, issuedSeptember 26th, 2022. A fundraising arrangement has been agreed with Citigroup:As a natural next step [to the APE issuance], today AMC entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) to allow for the sale from time to time of up to a maximum of 425,000,000 AMC Preferred Equity Units.Remember that AMC can issue up to 50 million units of Series A preferred stock.The Series A preferred stock has been created with a 100x multiplier against the common stock. This means in total there could eventually be up to five billion APEs (the Board has currently allowed for up to a maximum of one billion APEs).In the August FAQ sent to shareholders, the company said:The AMC Board currently has no plan or intention in calendar years 2022 or 2023 to authorize more than this initial 1 billion amount of APEs. However, AMC’s Board of directors may authorize additional AMC Preferred Equity units at any time in the future at its sole discretion, including in 2022 or 2023 if it deems such an issuance to be in AMC’s best interests...It’s noteworthy that they couldn’t wait even two months before making arrangements for the additional issuance of APEs.APE currently trades at $3.64, an attractive discount to AMC common stock. Arbitrage between APE and AMC shares may be possible.But unfortunately for the company, the low price of APE stock limits its usefulness when it comes to raising funds: even if the company sold the entire 425 million tranche announced today at $3 (a 20% discount to the latest APE share price), it would raise less than $1.3 billion.According to the most recent 10-Q, the company has corporate borrowings (net of cash) of $4.4 billion. Therefore, unless the APE share price can rise considerably to absorb additional supply, APE issuance will provide only partial deleveraging relief to the company.And while only providing partial relief, an additional 425 million APE shares would increase the company's total share count by over 41%.Far from \"no dilution\", I fear that AMC and APE shareholders will soon be facing very considerable dilution.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":480,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919408401,"gmtCreate":1663834233804,"gmtModify":1676537346388,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Going to hold mine for sure&nbsp;","listText":"Going to hold mine for sure&nbsp;","text":"Going to hold mine for sure","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9919408401","repostId":"1197433530","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197433530","pubTimestamp":1663824560,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197433530?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-22 13:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?

(NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), which investors also refer to as Google, continues to warrant a Buy investment rating in my opinion. In my previous July 7, 2022 update for Alphabet, I indicated that Google is &#34;aBuy during the dip&#34; in the short term.</p><p>My attention turns to Alphabet&#39;s appeal as a long-term investment in the current article. Google&#39;s recent uninspiring share price performance and a decrease in the average sell-side analyst rating for the stock might have come as a disappointment for some investors. But there are multiple signs and indicators, as detailed in this article, which suggest that Alphabet&#39;s business and financial outlook in the long run is still excellent.</p><p>I think there are a number of growth drivers and value creation levers that will drive Google&#39;s stock price up over time. Therefore, I keep my Buy rating on Alphabet unchanged, based on the belief that investors in Google with a long-term horizon will eventually be rewarded for their patience.</p><h2>Has Google Stock Performed Well?</h2><p>Google stock hasn&#39;t performed well in recent times.</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s stock price declined by-29% and -26% for the 2022 year-to-date and the one-year time periods, respectively. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 was down by -19% and -13% for this year thus far and the last year, respectively. In other words, Alphabet&#39;s shares have underperformed the broader market recently.</p><p>However, investors who have bought into the company&#39;s shares earlier are still sitting on huge gains.</p><p>In the past three years, Alphabet&#39;s shares rose by +66%, which was more than double the +30% increase for the S&amp;P 500 in the same period. Similarly, Google&#39;s share price went up by +118% in the last five years as compared to a relatively more modest +56% rise for the S&amp;P 500 during this period.</p><p>The above-mentioned numbers illustrate the importance of having a reasonably long term investment horizon when considering a potential investment in Alphabet or any other stock for that matter.</p><h2>What Are Analyst Ratings On Alphabet Stock?</h2><p>Wall Street continues to be very bullish on Alphabet&#39;s stock, as evidenced by the fact that 48 of the 51 sell-side analysts covering the company&#39;s shares have assigned either a Buy or Strong Buy rating to Google.</p><p>But it is the change in analyst ratings over time that really matters (instead of the absolute rating), as this is a key indicator of investor sentiment.</p><p><b>Analyst Ratings History For Alphabet In The Past Six Months</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c947e44fc4659748b7019db5001104b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"221\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p><b>The Sell Side&#39;s Recommendations For Google Stock In The Last Six Months</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/12098f80020940ef8c76ff527f3f2b8c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"267\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>As per the charts presented above, the average analyst rating (5 for Strong Buy, 3 for Hold, 1 for Strong Sell) for Google has gone down from 4.73 as of end-April 2022 to 4.61 now. Another way to look at this is that there were no Hold or Sell ratings for Alphabet in the months of April, May and June 2022, but three analysts rated Google as a Hold since July this year.</p><p>In a nutshell, investor sentiment for Alphabet has weakened in recent months based on an analysis of the change in investment ratings for the stock.</p><h2>Alphabet Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>There are a number of positive takeaways from Alphabet stock&#39;s key metrics disclosed as part of the company&#39;s most recent quarterly financial results and management commentary from other sources as well. These metrics support the thesis that Google is an excellent investment candidate for the long run.</p><p>Firstly, Alphabet&#39;s Google Search &amp; Other business performed very well in Q2 2022 notwithstanding macroeconomic challenges, and this bodes well for the long-term outlook for the company and its core business.</p><p>According to its Q2 2022 10-Q filing, revenue for the Google Search &amp; Other service grew by +13.5% YoY from $35.9 billion in Q2 2021 to $40.7 billion for Q2 2022. Alphabet&#39;s actual Q2 2022 revenue for the Google Search &amp; Other business also beat the market&#39;s consensus forecast by approximately +1% as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i> data.</p><p>Google Search &amp; Other is the most important business for Alphabet, as it is the company&#39;s largest revenue contributor accounting for 58% of its top line FY 2021. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, Alphabet stressed that the company&#39;s strategy is to provide products and services that are &#34;helpful to people and businesses during uncertain moments&#34; and &#34;for the long term&#34; as well. Specifically, GOOG highlighted that Google Search serves the purpose of enabling people &#34;to find anything from anywhere.&#34;</p><p>The good Q2 2022 performance of the Google Search &amp; Other business line even during difficult times like these is encouraging. This suggests that Google&#39;s search ads will remain a very relevant tool for advertisers in their efforts to reach out to their target audience in the intermediate to long term. As an example of how Alphabet is optimizing Google Search to adapt to changes in users&#39; preferences and needs, the company is constantly tweaking its Search products to facilitate voice and visual searches which are becoming more popular.</p><p>Secondly, Alphabet is trying hard to achieve a balance between cost optimization in the short term and sustaining investments for the long run. I believe this cost optimization exercise in the near term will allow GOOGL to re-allocate cost savings and excess capital into projects that have the best chance of delivering the most upside in the long term.</p><p><i>Seeking Alpha News</i> reported on September 7, 2022 that the CEO of Alphabet mentioned at a recent conference that he &#34;is looking to make Google &#39;20% more productive&#39;&#34;, which &#34;may call for job reductions.&#34; The CEO&#39;s comments are consistent with what the company&#39;s CFO noted at the recent quarterly results call. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, the CFO of Google emphasized that the company needs to ensure that it is &#34;using resources effectively where we can to redeploy it and put it back into long-term investments.&#34;</p><p>An August 16, 2022 <i>BofA Securities</i> research report (not publicly available) titled &#34;More Layoff Speculation In Press&#34; estimated that Alphabet has &#34;roughly 50k employees (40% growth) added since the pandemic in 1Q’20.&#34; This suggests that Google has substantial leeway to cut back on expenses and reinvest such savings in long term growth opportunities.</p><p>Thirdly, Google&#39;s shareholder capital return metrics for the year-to-date period have been impressive, and this is an important investment criterion for investors. Allocating a meaningful amount of excess capital to share buybacks or dividends typically suggests that a company is shareholder-friendly and exercises prudence in the area of capital investments (which competes with the other key capital allocation alternative, shareholder capital return).</p><p>Alphabet spent approximately $15.2 billion on share buybacks in Q2 2022, and this means that it has allocated around $28.5 billion to share repurchases for the first half of this year. Assuming that Google maintains the same pace of share buybacks in 2H 2022, this will work out to be a decent annualized share buyback yield of 4%.</p><p>The company&#39;s continued emphasis on shareholder capital return is critical for two key reasons.</p><p>One key reason is that a company with a track record of consistent shareholder capital returns will usually consider the expected investment returns of various capital allocation alternatives more carefully. In the case of Alphabet, it might be compelled to invest in more risky projects with uncertain payoffs in the absence of a share buyback program like the one it has now.</p><p>The other key reason is that share repurchases serve as a potential avenue of value creation in uncertain times. As the economy continues to weaken and the bear market is prolonged, Alphabet&#39;s business growth will naturally be more muted and valuation multiples will compress across the board in the near term. In such a scenario, Google can create value for its shareholders by engaging in value-accretive share buybacks in an opportunistic manner as and when there is a substantial correction in its shares.</p><h2>Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?</h2><p>Google stock is a good long-term investment. In the preceding section, I touched on how Alphabet&#39;s recent metrics send positive signals about its long-term growth outlook. In this section, I will highlight another three key points that investors should consider in evaluating the company&#39;s growth prospects in the future.</p><p>One key point is that Alphabet&#39;s long-term revenue growth might exceed market expectations, with Google Cloud being a major driver. As highlighted in the company&#39;s September 2022 investor presentation, Google Cloud&#39;s quarterly revenue has tripled from $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion in just two years between Q2 2019 and Q2 2021, but this business has yet to reach its full growth potential.</p><p>Alphabet stressed at the <i>Goldman Sachs</i> (GS) Communacopia + Technology Conferenceon September 13, 2022 that &#34;new markets (in cloud) are opening, driven by growth in data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity and others.&#34; The company&#39;s bullish view about the cloud market and Google Cloud is reflected in IDC&#39;s forecast (as cited in Alphabet&#39;s September presentation) that public cloud services spending will almost double from $505 million in 2022 to $1.06 trillion by 2026.</p><p>Another key point is that Alphabet has significant room for operating profit margin expansion over time.</p><p>Based on the sell-side&#39;s consensus financial projections sourced from<i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>, the analysts are predicting that Google&#39;s EBITDA margin will expand from 39.7% in fiscal 2022 to as high as 41.9% in fiscal 2026. If Wall Street is right, Alphabet&#39;s FY 2026 EBITDA margin will mark a new 15-year peak for the company.</p><p>YouTube Ads and many of Alphabet&#39;s businesses grouped under the Other Bets segments are sub-scale, which explain why they either boast low profit margins or are unprofitable. As these businesses expand their respective revenue bases in time to come, it is a matter of &#34;when&#34; rather than &#34;if&#34; that positive operating leverage kicks in and translates into improved profitability.</p><p>The final point is about capital allocation.</p><p>It is amazing that Alphabet has a strong financial position now, even though it just executed on the largest quarterly share buyback in the company&#39;s history in Q2 2022. As per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ&#39;s</i> financial data, Google has an estimated $125 billion in cash and short term investments on its books as of June 30, 2022. Considering the free cash flow generative nature of the company&#39;s business, Alphabet&#39;s cash pile is very likely to continue growing in the years ahead.</p><p>Many companies fret about the inability to generate positive cash flow, a weak balance sheet, and the lack of excess capital needed to support future growth or reward shareholders with capital return. This isn&#39;t Google&#39;s problem. Assuming that capital market conditions become more challenging going forward due to a weak economy and a bear market, Alphabet&#39;s ability to fund its future long-term investments with internally generated cash flow will become even more important. Moreover, Alphabet is among a minority of companies that has the financial strength to support both capital investments and capital return. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that Google will allocate an increasing proportion of capital to share buybacks and other shareholder capital return initiatives over the coming years.</p><h2>Is Alphabet Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</h2><p>Alphabet stock stays as a Buy-rated name in my view. There are many things that long-term investors will like about Alphabet. These include the potential for increased shareholder capital return, the positive expectations of operating profit margin expansion, and the long growth runway for Google Cloud.</p></body></html>","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>Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?

These metrics support the thesis that Google is an excellent investment candidate for the long run.Firstly, Alphabet's Google Search & Other business performed very well in Q2 2022 notwithstanding macroeconomic challenges, and this bodes well for the long-term outlook for the company and its core business.According to its Q2 2022 10-Q filing, revenue for the Google Search & Other service grew by +13.5% YoY from $35.9 billion in Q2 2021 to $40.7 billion for Q2 2022. Alphabet's actual Q2 2022 revenue for the Google Search & Other business also beat the market's consensus forecast by approximately +1% as per S&P Capital IQ data.Google Search & Other is the most important business for Alphabet, as it is the company's largest revenue contributor accounting for 58% of its top line FY 2021. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, Alphabet stressed that the company's strategy is to provide products and services that are \"helpful to people and businesses during uncertain moments\" and \"for the long term\" as well. Specifically, GOOG highlighted that Google Search serves the purpose of enabling people \"to find anything from anywhere.\"The good Q2 2022 performance of the Google Search & Other business line even during difficult times like these is encouraging. This suggests that Google's search ads will remain a very relevant tool for advertisers in their efforts to reach out to their target audience in the intermediate to long term. As an example of how Alphabet is optimizing Google Search to adapt to changes in users' preferences and needs, the company is constantly tweaking its Search products to facilitate voice and visual searches which are becoming more popular.Secondly, Alphabet is trying hard to achieve a balance between cost optimization in the short term and sustaining investments for the long run. I believe this cost optimization exercise in the near term will allow GOOGL to re-allocate cost savings and excess capital into projects that have the best chance of delivering the most upside in the long term.Seeking Alpha News reported on September 7, 2022 that the CEO of Alphabet mentioned at a recent conference that he \"is looking to make Google '20% more productive'\", which \"may call for job reductions.\" The CEO's comments are consistent with what the company's CFO noted at the recent quarterly results call. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, the CFO of Google emphasized that the company needs to ensure that it is \"using resources effectively where we can to redeploy it and put it back into long-term investments.\"An August 16, 2022 BofA Securities research report (not publicly available) titled \"More Layoff Speculation In Press\" estimated that Alphabet has \"roughly 50k employees (40% growth) added since the pandemic in 1Q’20.\" This suggests that Google has substantial leeway to cut back on expenses and reinvest such savings in long term growth opportunities.Thirdly, Google's shareholder capital return metrics for the year-to-date period have been impressive, and this is an important investment criterion for investors. Allocating a meaningful amount of excess capital to share buybacks or dividends typically suggests that a company is shareholder-friendly and exercises prudence in the area of capital investments (which competes with the other key capital allocation alternative, shareholder capital return).Alphabet spent approximately $15.2 billion on share buybacks in Q2 2022, and this means that it has allocated around $28.5 billion to share repurchases for the first half of this year. Assuming that Google maintains the same pace of share buybacks in 2H 2022, this will work out to be a decent annualized share buyback yield of 4%.The company's continued emphasis on shareholder capital return is critical for two key reasons.One key reason is that a company with a track record of consistent shareholder capital returns will usually consider the expected investment returns of various capital allocation alternatives more carefully. In the case of Alphabet, it might be compelled to invest in more risky projects with uncertain payoffs in the absence of a share buyback program like the one it has now.The other key reason is that share repurchases serve as a potential avenue of value creation in uncertain times. As the economy continues to weaken and the bear market is prolonged, Alphabet's business growth will naturally be more muted and valuation multiples will compress across the board in the near term. In such a scenario, Google can create value for its shareholders by engaging in value-accretive share buybacks in an opportunistic manner as and when there is a substantial correction in its shares.Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?Google stock is a good long-term investment. In the preceding section, I touched on how Alphabet's recent metrics send positive signals about its long-term growth outlook. In this section, I will highlight another three key points that investors should consider in evaluating the company's growth prospects in the future.One key point is that Alphabet's long-term revenue growth might exceed market expectations, with Google Cloud being a major driver. As highlighted in the company's September 2022 investor presentation, Google Cloud's quarterly revenue has tripled from $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion in just two years between Q2 2019 and Q2 2021, but this business has yet to reach its full growth potential.Alphabet stressed at the Goldman Sachs (GS) Communacopia + Technology Conferenceon September 13, 2022 that \"new markets (in cloud) are opening, driven by growth in data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity and others.\" The company's bullish view about the cloud market and Google Cloud is reflected in IDC's forecast (as cited in Alphabet's September presentation) that public cloud services spending will almost double from $505 million in 2022 to $1.06 trillion by 2026.Another key point is that Alphabet has significant room for operating profit margin expansion over time.Based on the sell-side's consensus financial projections sourced fromS&P Capital IQ, the analysts are predicting that Google's EBITDA margin will expand from 39.7% in fiscal 2022 to as high as 41.9% in fiscal 2026. If Wall Street is right, Alphabet's FY 2026 EBITDA margin will mark a new 15-year peak for the company.YouTube Ads and many of Alphabet's businesses grouped under the Other Bets segments are sub-scale, which explain why they either boast low profit margins or are unprofitable. As these businesses expand their respective revenue bases in time to come, it is a matter of \"when\" rather than \"if\" that positive operating leverage kicks in and translates into improved profitability.The final point is about capital allocation.It is amazing that Alphabet has a strong financial position now, even though it just executed on the largest quarterly share buyback in the company's history in Q2 2022. As per S&P Capital IQ's financial data, Google has an estimated $125 billion in cash and short term investments on its books as of June 30, 2022. Considering the free cash flow generative nature of the company's business, Alphabet's cash pile is very likely to continue growing in the years ahead.Many companies fret about the inability to generate positive cash flow, a weak balance sheet, and the lack of excess capital needed to support future growth or reward shareholders with capital return. This isn't Google's problem. Assuming that capital market conditions become more challenging going forward due to a weak economy and a bear market, Alphabet's ability to fund its future long-term investments with internally generated cash flow will become even more important. Moreover, Alphabet is among a minority of companies that has the financial strength to support both capital investments and capital return. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that Google will allocate an increasing proportion of capital to share buybacks and other shareholder capital return initiatives over the coming years.Is Alphabet Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?Alphabet stock stays as a Buy-rated name in my view. There are many things that long-term investors will like about Alphabet. These include the potential for increased shareholder capital return, the positive expectations of operating profit margin expansion, and the long growth runway for Google Cloud.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":407,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9082631490,"gmtCreate":1650556730078,"gmtModify":1676534751643,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let's gooo AA!!","listText":"Let's gooo AA!!","text":"Let's gooo AA!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9082631490","repostId":"1165680755","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165680755","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1650548817,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165680755?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-21 21:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airline Stocks Rallied in Morning Trading, with United Continental and American Airlines Rising Over 9%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165680755","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Airline stocks rallied in morning trading, with United Continental and American Airlines rising over","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Airline stocks rallied in morning trading, with United Continental and American Airlines rising over 9%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80bfa2f30dba7e0d3ed7319402cbf3c8\" tg-width=\"321\" tg-height=\"191\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>For the first quarter of 2022, American (ticker: AAL) posted a loss of $2.52 a share.

But when a business is young and has negligible revenue and negative cash flow and earnings, it&#39;s more important than ever to listen to the conference calls and investor presentations.</p><p>Before Lucid merged with a SPAC called <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CCC.U\">Churchill Capital</a> IV in July, you could still buy its stock under the Churchill Capital IV ticker. And although Lucid didn&#39;t give quarterly earnings calls because it wasn&#39;t yet a public company, it would give occasional investor presentations. The two big ones were in May 2021 and July 2021.</p><p>Even back then, it was clear to see that Lucid&#39;s executives, led by CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson, are flashy, confident, and highly ambitious.</p><p>This silver-tongued rhetoric sounds great when times are good and Lucid stock is within striking distance of a $100 billion market cap. But during lean years, as 2022 is certain to be, a gung-ho tone can sometimes come across as overconfident and even a bit insincere.</p><h2>A fine line between confidence and arrogance</h2><p>During Lucid&#39;s most recent conference call for Q4 and full-year 2021, the company reported much-lower-than-expected production and deliveries, delayed the release of the Lucid Gravity SUV until 2024, slashed 2022 delivery guidance from 20,000 vehicles to a range of 12,000 to 14,000 vehicles, and reported high spending that is likely to only increase from here. In sum, poor results and poor guidance.</p><p>Yet throughout the conference call, Lucid&#39;s management was a little too dismissive of these problems, shrugging off supply chain concerns since they weren&#39;t related to battery packs but instead to cosmetic components, carpets, and glass. Or by saying that the cash position was strong enough to outlast short-term challenges. That may be true, but at the end of the day Lucid needs to produce and deliver cars and start making money, or it&#39;s going to have to raise more cash in a tighter and higher-interest-rate business environment.</p><p>To be fair, Lucid already believes it makes the best electric sedan on the market and that it won&#39;t have trouble finding buyers. So if those two points are true and stay true for several years, then the company has a point that it just needs to get past this hiccup in the supply chain and then it&#39;ll be as good as gold. Lucid&#39;s technology is amazing, and the company has a lot going for it that could make it a long-term winner. It&#39;s just not doing itself any favors by assuming the race is won.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F672950%2Flucid.jpeg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"700\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Statista.</p><h2>Addressing concerns head-on</h2><p>Rivian&#39;s Q4 and full-year 2021 conference call was different from Lucid&#39;s. It sounded less like a marketing presentation and more like a battle plan.</p><p>Rivian said that it believes it could have produced and delivered 50,000 vehicles under normal circumstances but expects to only be able to produce and deliver 25,000 vehicles because of supply chain constraints. Instead of excessively blaming economic factors or suppliers for the situation, Rivian simply accepted the reality of the situation and got down to business.</p><p>Rivian CEO and founder RJ Scaringe spent a lot of time discussing short-term goals in addition to long-term goals to give analysts and listeners specific points to track for the rest of the year. For example, Rivian is planning on significantly ramping up production of its electric van, the EDV, in Q2 2022. It also discussed updates on its manufacturing expansions, why it is increasing spending in 2022, and how that will set it up for 2023 and 2024, and it gave tons of informative commentary on new technology such as its 800-volt architecture, dual and quad motor configurations, and software integrations.</p><h2>Rising to the occasion</h2><p>Neither electric car company can control macroeconomic factors. But they can control how they react to challenges and overcome them. Lucid gave a lot of bad news and discussed why its company is still amazing. Rivian gave a lot of bad news but discussed, in detail, what it was doing to stay proactive, make its products better, and become a better company.</p><p>Lucid downplayed threats of competition and ignored some major questions I was hoping it would answer on the call, such as the severity of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subpoena, the extent of the Lucid Air recall, updates to 2023 production and delivery guidance, current manufacturing output, and estimated year-end capacity.</p><p>With Rivian, it felt as if the company understood the pressure it was under and the seriousness of the situation -- that cash burn is unsustainable and the company still has something to prove and needs to keep getting better or else it could fail.</p><p>Management is a critical part of every company. Good companies are able to adapt to good times and bad and be open and honest with investors. In times like these, it&#39;s important for management to be upfront about issues and reel in the sales rhetoric.</p></body></html>","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>Rivian Has an Edge Over Lucid in This Key Category</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\">\nRivian Has an Edge Over Lucid in This Key Category\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-05 21:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/05/rivian-has-an-edge-over-lucid-in-this-key-category/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Rivian Automotive ( RIVN 0.19% ) and Lucid Group ( LCID 2.69% ) have taken the auto industry and the U.S. stock market by storm, but for different reasons.

Here's why that's important for long-term investors.Image source: Rivian Automotive.Listen closelyReading financial statements and earnings call transcripts is excellent for learning more about a company. But when a business is young and has negligible revenue and negative cash flow and earnings, it's more important than ever to listen to the conference calls and investor presentations.Before Lucid merged with a SPAC called Churchill Capital IV in July, you could still buy its stock under the Churchill Capital IV ticker. And although Lucid didn't give quarterly earnings calls because it wasn't yet a public company, it would give occasional investor presentations. The two big ones were in May 2021 and July 2021.Even back then, it was clear to see that Lucid's executives, led by CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson, are flashy, confident, and highly ambitious.This silver-tongued rhetoric sounds great when times are good and Lucid stock is within striking distance of a $100 billion market cap. But during lean years, as 2022 is certain to be, a gung-ho tone can sometimes come across as overconfident and even a bit insincere.A fine line between confidence and arroganceDuring Lucid's most recent conference call for Q4 and full-year 2021, the company reported much-lower-than-expected production and deliveries, delayed the release of the Lucid Gravity SUV until 2024, slashed 2022 delivery guidance from 20,000 vehicles to a range of 12,000 to 14,000 vehicles, and reported high spending that is likely to only increase from here. In sum, poor results and poor guidance.Yet throughout the conference call, Lucid's management was a little too dismissive of these problems, shrugging off supply chain concerns since they weren't related to battery packs but instead to cosmetic components, carpets, and glass. Or by saying that the cash position was strong enough to outlast short-term challenges. That may be true, but at the end of the day Lucid needs to produce and deliver cars and start making money, or it's going to have to raise more cash in a tighter and higher-interest-rate business environment.To be fair, Lucid already believes it makes the best electric sedan on the market and that it won't have trouble finding buyers. So if those two points are true and stay true for several years, then the company has a point that it just needs to get past this hiccup in the supply chain and then it'll be as good as gold. Lucid's technology is amazing, and the company has a lot going for it that could make it a long-term winner. It's just not doing itself any favors by assuming the race is won.Image source: Statista.Addressing concerns head-onRivian's Q4 and full-year 2021 conference call was different from Lucid's. It sounded less like a marketing presentation and more like a battle plan.Rivian said that it believes it could have produced and delivered 50,000 vehicles under normal circumstances but expects to only be able to produce and deliver 25,000 vehicles because of supply chain constraints. Instead of excessively blaming economic factors or suppliers for the situation, Rivian simply accepted the reality of the situation and got down to business.Rivian CEO and founder RJ Scaringe spent a lot of time discussing short-term goals in addition to long-term goals to give analysts and listeners specific points to track for the rest of the year. For example, Rivian is planning on significantly ramping up production of its electric van, the EDV, in Q2 2022. It also discussed updates on its manufacturing expansions, why it is increasing spending in 2022, and how that will set it up for 2023 and 2024, and it gave tons of informative commentary on new technology such as its 800-volt architecture, dual and quad motor configurations, and software integrations.Rising to the occasionNeither electric car company can control macroeconomic factors. But they can control how they react to challenges and overcome them. Lucid gave a lot of bad news and discussed why its company is still amazing. Rivian gave a lot of bad news but discussed, in detail, what it was doing to stay proactive, make its products better, and become a better company.Lucid downplayed threats of competition and ignored some major questions I was hoping it would answer on the call, such as the severity of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subpoena, the extent of the Lucid Air recall, updates to 2023 production and delivery guidance, current manufacturing output, and estimated year-end capacity.With Rivian, it felt as if the company understood the pressure it was under and the seriousness of the situation -- that cash burn is unsustainable and the company still has something to prove and needs to keep getting better or else it could fail.Management is a critical part of every company. Good companies are able to adapt to good times and bad and be open and honest with investors. In times like these, it's important for management to be upfront about issues and reel in the sales rhetoric.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":545,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030208802,"gmtCreate":1645722608611,"gmtModify":1676534057472,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wth is wrong with putin&nbsp;","listText":"Wth is wrong with putin&nbsp;","text":"Wth is wrong with putin","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9030208802","repostId":"1153236103","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153236103","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1645713014,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1153236103?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-24 22:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow Plunges More Than 800 Points as Russia Attacks Ukraine, Nasdaq Falls into Bear Market Territory","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153236103","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stocks fell sharply Thursday as Russia attacked Ukraine, causing global energy prices to jump and se","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Stocks fell sharply Thursday as Russia attacked Ukraine, causing global energy prices to jump and sending investors fleeing for the safety of fixed income assets.</p><p>The invasion comes as global equity markets were already reeling because of decades-high inflation stemming from the pandemic.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 was down 2.5%, as the benchmark plunged further into correction territory.

But investors have high hopes for the company, and even a record-setting quarter can leave them underwhelmed.</p><p>In the “weird world” of Nvidia, investors’ expectations are always different than the consensus estimate, Vital Knowledge analyst Adam Crisafulli said in a note. Investors may have been looking for more upside, but within the next day or so, they’ll probably come back to the realization that Nvidia has “some of the best fundamental prospects in tech,” he said.</p><p>There were some weak spots last quarter. Sales of Nvidia’s auto chips were lower than projected. And its adjusted gross margin came in at 67% -- shy of the 67.1% analysts estimated and below what some chipmakers have reported recently.

But investors have high hopes for the company, and even a record-setting quarter can leave them underwhelmed.In the “weird world” of Nvidia, investors’ expectations are always different than the consensus estimate, Vital Knowledge analyst Adam Crisafulli said in a note. Investors may have been looking for more upside, but within the next day or so, they’ll probably come back to the realization that Nvidia has “some of the best fundamental prospects in tech,” he said.There were some weak spots last quarter. Sales of Nvidia’s auto chips were lower than projected. And its adjusted gross margin came in at 67% -- shy of the 67.1% analysts estimated and below what some chipmakers have reported recently. Analog Devices Inc. had a margin of 72% when it delivered its quarterly results earlier Wednesday.Supply constraints also are weighing on Nvidia’s data-center chip business, but the situation is improving, Huang said in a conference call with analysts.“We saw demand constraints pretty much across the entire range,” he said. “We expect supply to improve each and every quarter.”Nvidia is bouncing back from its failed attempt to acquire Arm, a deal that faced regulatory opposition around the world. It terminated the transaction on Feb. 8 and expects to write off $1.36 billion this quarter to account for prepayments it pledged to Arm’s owner, SoftBank Group Corp. Huang said Wednesday that he gave the deal his “best shot.”Nvidia had touted the purchase as a chance to expand its reach into many devices, including smartphones.But even without Arm, Nvidia has been growing more quickly than projected.

The growing trend is emerging as a real investment opportunity that every investor needs to pay attention to.</p><p>The metaverse is viewed as the next step of the internet, or Web 3.0. Where Web 2.0 saw the rise of mobile computing and social media platforms, Web 3.0 will see the emergence of virtual experiences, such as virtual sporting events, meeting rooms, and other immersive experiences where people communicate, play, and work. Many industries could benefit from this new technology.</p><p><b>Goldman Sachs</b> estimates the development of the metaverse will cost anywhere from $135 billion to $1.35 trillion over the next several years.</p><p>Here&#39;s why Roblox, Meta Platforms, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\"><b>Microsoft</b></a> are my three favoritemetaverse stocks to buy right now.</p><p>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RBLX\"><b>Roblox</b></a></p><p>The metaverse could have a wide variety of use cases across all industries, from gaming to manufacturing. But looking at the opportunity from the entertainment side, Roblox is well-positioned to be a leader. It ended November with 49 million daily active users that can access the platform from PCs with virtual reality equipment, game consoles, and mobile devices.</p><p>Roblox makes money from a virtual currency (Robux) that is used to access new experiences and buy virtual items for personal avatars. Revenue more than doubled in the third quarter, with daily active users up 31%.</p><p>Roblox is not just about games for kids, either. Music artists are hosting live virtual concerts to connect with fans and raise awareness for new albums. <b>Netflix</b> launched an experience on the platform based on the hit show<i>Stranger Things</i>. Toward the end of last year, <b>Nike</b> unveiled Nikeland, with virtual tennis and basketball courts and other activities for users to spend time with.</p><p>Brands&#39; interest in investing in new experiences on Roblox is a great sign for the stickiness of the platform. Investments by big brands are increasing its appeal and positioning Roblox to continue growing its base of users. Management&#39;s goal is to reach billions of users. Against this long runway of growth, the recent dip in the share price looks like a good buying opportunity.</p><p>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\"><b>Meta Platforms</b></a></p><p>With 2.9 billion monthly active users on Facebook, Meta Platforms is a no-brainer metaverse stock. It&#39;s got a war chest of cash to spend on consumer products, such as Oculus virtual reality products, not to mention data centers and other necessary infrastructure to bring its metaverse ambitions to life.</p><p>Facebook has spent approximately $21 billion on data centers over the last decade to build a total of 18 in the U.S. and internationally, according to Goldman Sachs. It has plans to build as many as 70 more buildings.</p><p>Combine that with the company&#39;s move to split its financial reporting into two segments -- Family of Apps (social media) and Facebook Reality Labs (metaverse) -- and you can see how seriously CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking this opportunity.</p><p>Meta Platforms is still putting up solid revenue and earnings growth, and thesocial media leader looks undervaluedat a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.</p><p>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\"><b>Microsoft</b></a></p><p>Microsoft is another reasonably valued tech stock that is well positioned to benefit from the development of Web 3.0. With its growing Xbox gaming business, the company&#39;s investments in cloud infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, and the development of the HoloLens mixed-reality headset, the software giant has all the pieces in place to capitalize on this opportunity.</p><p>HoloLens has been in development for many years. It is a headset with transparent glasses that lets the user see 3D objects in real space.

The growing trend is emerging as a real investment opportunity that every investor needs to pay attention to.The metaverse is viewed as the next step of the internet, or Web 3.0. Where Web 2.0 saw the rise of mobile computing and social media platforms, Web 3.0 will see the emergence of virtual experiences, such as virtual sporting events, meeting rooms, and other immersive experiences where people communicate, play, and work. Many industries could benefit from this new technology.Goldman Sachs estimates the development of the metaverse will cost anywhere from $135 billion to $1.35 trillion over the next several years.Here's why Roblox, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft are my three favoritemetaverse stocks to buy right now.1. RobloxThe metaverse could have a wide variety of use cases across all industries, from gaming to manufacturing. But looking at the opportunity from the entertainment side, Roblox is well-positioned to be a leader. It ended November with 49 million daily active users that can access the platform from PCs with virtual reality equipment, game consoles, and mobile devices.Roblox makes money from a virtual currency (Robux) that is used to access new experiences and buy virtual items for personal avatars. Revenue more than doubled in the third quarter, with daily active users up 31%.Roblox is not just about games for kids, either. Music artists are hosting live virtual concerts to connect with fans and raise awareness for new albums. Netflix launched an experience on the platform based on the hit showStranger Things. Toward the end of last year, Nike unveiled Nikeland, with virtual tennis and basketball courts and other activities for users to spend time with.Brands' interest in investing in new experiences on Roblox is a great sign for the stickiness of the platform. Investments by big brands are increasing its appeal and positioning Roblox to continue growing its base of users. Management's goal is to reach billions of users. Against this long runway of growth, the recent dip in the share price looks like a good buying opportunity.2. Meta PlatformsWith 2.9 billion monthly active users on Facebook, Meta Platforms is a no-brainer metaverse stock. It's got a war chest of cash to spend on consumer products, such as Oculus virtual reality products, not to mention data centers and other necessary infrastructure to bring its metaverse ambitions to life.Facebook has spent approximately $21 billion on data centers over the last decade to build a total of 18 in the U.S. and internationally, according to Goldman Sachs. It has plans to build as many as 70 more buildings.Combine that with the company's move to split its financial reporting into two segments -- Family of Apps (social media) and Facebook Reality Labs (metaverse) -- and you can see how seriously CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking this opportunity.Meta Platforms is still putting up solid revenue and earnings growth, and thesocial media leader looks undervaluedat a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.3. MicrosoftMicrosoft is another reasonably valued tech stock that is well positioned to benefit from the development of Web 3.0. With its growing Xbox gaming business, the company's investments in cloud infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, and the development of the HoloLens mixed-reality headset, the software giant has all the pieces in place to capitalize on this opportunity.HoloLens has been in development for many years. It is a headset with transparent glasses that lets the user see 3D objects in real space. It's not a consumer product, but is designed for businesses using 3D design as part of the manufacturing process. Elsewhere, Microsoft has plans to turn its Teams video conferencing app into a virtual experience using virtual reality and augmented reality goggles.Of course, gaming will be a natural extension of the metaverse. Microsoft already has a potentially valuable gaming property that behaves like a metaverse inMinecraft. Plus, if the pendingacquisition of Activision Blizzard is approved by regulators, it will significantly expand Xbox Game Studios' programming talent to build the 3D environments that defines the metaverse -- something the talented folks at Blizzard are pretty good at.Microsoft trades at a forward P/E of 32, which looks attractive against expectations for double-digit growth across its business over the next several years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9099277274,"gmtCreate":1643378769125,"gmtModify":1676533813211,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good article","listText":"Good article","text":"Good article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9099277274","repostId":"2206812015","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2206812015","pubTimestamp":1643341486,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2206812015?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-28 11:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 No-Brainer Buffett Stocks to Buy if 2022 Brings a Bear Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2206812015","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These stocks will reward you over time and tide you over in a bear market.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Key Points</b></p><ul><li>Amazon has prioritized serving its customers under any circumstances.</li><li>An S&amp;P 500 index fund is a secure investment in the market.</li><li>Store Capital is a high-yielding REIT with massive opportunities.</li></ul><p>As we near the end of the first month of a new year, the stock market is experiencing a lot of turmoil. 2021 was a huge recovery year after the 2020 crash, and the market ended on a high, with the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> up 26.9%.

Let&#39;s find out a bit more about these investment options.</p><h2>1. Amazon: An unparalleled e-commerce company</h2><p>E-commerce giant Amazon became a go-to shopping spot for millions of people around the globe as the pandemic got underway. The pandemic continues and so does Amazon&#39;s popularity, although growth is slowing down as its latest results get compared to 2020&#39;s stellar comps and supply chain issues continue to affect bottom lines.</p><p>A bear market has multiple definitions, but it&#39;s generally defined as a decline of at least 20% in the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> from recent highs. When the broader market tanks, you want to keep your most basic investing principles in mind, such as focusing on the long term and holding high-quality companies. That&#39;s where Amazon comes in. Amazon is a heavyweight that will continue to grow for many years in various economic environments, and it&#39;s a company that investors don&#39;t have to worry about going under.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s sales increased 15% year over year in the third quarter, and management is forecasting growth of between 4% and 12% in the fourth quarter. Profitability was pressured as the company focused on long-term priorities, which for now means delivering an exceptional customer experience even though it means higher shipping costs, increased wages, and other moves that are straining the bottom line. Its cloud component, Amazon Web Services, is still posting phenomenal growth, accelerating to a 39% sales increase year over year in the third quarter, and it remains profitable.</p><p>CEO Andy Jassy said, &#34;It&#39;ll be expensive for us in the short term, but it&#39;s the right prioritization for our customers and partners.&#34; That commitment is what keeps customers loyal and generates more business.</p><p>If you&#39;re worried about a bear market, you can be more confident holding on to Amazon stock, which trades at 56 times trailing-12-month earnings (a bargain based on Amazon&#39;s average performance over the past decade).</p><h2>2. Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF: Don&#39;t try to beat the market, match it</h2><p>It&#39;s not easy to beat the market. Over the past five years, roughly 73% of mutual funds have underperformed the returns of the S&amp;P 500. For a lot of people, simply placing their money into a passive fund like the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (exchange-traded fund) which mirrors the benchmark index will get them the highest return.</p><p>This Vanguard ETF is up 17% annualized over the past five years (well above the S&amp;P 500&#39;s lifetime average return of 10.5%). That&#39;s an attractive rate, and it comes with less risk and fewer headaches than aiming to time or beat the market by picking individual stocks that ping pong back and forth. Buffett often recommends investing in the S&amp;P 500.</p><p>Granted, if we enter a bear market, it means this ETF will be down. But it&#39;s a relatively safe place to keep your money as the index invariably returns to a growth trajectory and recovers its losses over time.</p><h2>3. STORE Capital: For those focused on dividends</h2><p>One strategy to maintain market gains in a bear market is to invest in dividend-yielding stocks. While some companies did suspend dividends during the pandemic, many dividend stocks were in strong enough financial shape to at least maintain their payout levels. In particular, investing in a strong real estate investment trust (REIT) can yield high dividends for shareholders, since the tax structure of these companies requires them to pay out 90% of their net income as dividends.</p><p>STORE Capital owns nearly 2,800 properties that it leases to single-tenant businesses, mostly restaurants and other service-based organizations. It operates a triple net lease arrangement, which means the tenant is responsible for most of the property maintenance. It&#39;s a fairly low-risk business model where STORE buys properties from companies that own their own stores, providing those companies with capital they might need for investment or debt reduction. These companies tend to sign long-term leases for the assets they just sold. As a result, STORE&#39;s average lease length is roughly 13.5 years. That&#39;s long enough to get the REIT through the ups and downs of a cyclical economy. That&#39;s a clear benefit to the landlord, but it tends to benefit the tenant as well. STORE management sees a huge market opportunity of 2 million properties and $3.9 trillion in market value.</p><p>The dividend generates a yield of 5% at the current stock price, and STORE has raised its dividend annually since it went public in 2014. Buffett bought a stake in STORE Capital in 2017 worth 9.8% of shares outstanding. You might want to consider adding shares to your portfolio as well, especially if we hit a bear market.</p></body></html>","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 No-Brainer Buffett Stocks to Buy if 2022 Brings a Bear Market</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 No-Brainer Buffett Stocks to Buy if 2022 Brings a Bear Market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-28 11:44 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/27/buffett-stocks-to-buy-2022-bear-market/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key PointsAmazon has prioritized serving its customers under any circumstances.An S&P 500 index fund is a secure investment in the market.Store Capital is a high-yielding REIT with massive ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/27/buffett-stocks-to-buy-2022-bear-market/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4503":"景林资产持仓","BK4122":"互联网与直销零售","BK4551":"寇图资本持仓","BK4561":"索罗斯持仓","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","BK4504":"桥水持仓","BRK.A":"伯克希尔","AMZN":"亚马逊","SPY":"标普500ETF","BK4548":"巴美列捷福持仓","BK4176":"多领域控股","VOO":"Vanguard标普500ETF","BK4554":"元宇宙及AR概念","BK4532":"文艺复兴科技持仓",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index","BK4160":"多样化房地产投资信托v","BK4507":"流媒体概念","BK4534":"瑞士信贷持仓","BK4533":"AQR资本管理(全球第二大对冲基金)","BK4566":"资本集团","BK4524":"宅经济概念","STOR":"STORE Capital","BK4535":"淡马锡持仓","REIT":"ALPS Active REIT ETF","BK4559":"巴菲特持仓","BK4538":"云计算","BK4527":"明星科技股","BK4550":"红杉资本持仓"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/27/buffett-stocks-to-buy-2022-bear-market/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2206812015","content_text":"Key PointsAmazon has prioritized serving its customers under any circumstances.An S&P 500 index fund is a secure investment in the market.Store Capital is a high-yielding REIT with massive opportunities.As we near the end of the first month of a new year, the stock market is experiencing a lot of turmoil. 2021 was a huge recovery year after the 2020 crash, and the market ended on a high, with the S&P 500 up 26.9%.

These companies tend to sign long-term leases for the assets they just sold. As a result, STORE's average lease length is roughly 13.5 years. That's long enough to get the REIT through the ups and downs of a cyclical economy. That's a clear benefit to the landlord, but it tends to benefit the tenant as well. STORE management sees a huge market opportunity of 2 million properties and $3.9 trillion in market value.The dividend generates a yield of 5% at the current stock price, and STORE has raised its dividend annually since it went public in 2014. Buffett bought a stake in STORE Capital in 2017 worth 9.8% of shares outstanding. You might want to consider adding shares to your portfolio as well, especially if we hit a bear market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":433,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007790022,"gmtCreate":1642996954432,"gmtModify":1676533763560,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope for the best","listText":"Hope for the best","text":"Hope for the best","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007790022","repostId":"1122641919","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1122641919","pubTimestamp":1642994237,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1122641919?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-24 11:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This Fed Meeting Is Crucial.

And the federal-funds futures market has fully priced in an initial 25-basis-point increase in the Fed’s key policy rate, from the current ground-hugging 0% to 0.25%, at the March 15-16 FOMC gathering, according to the CME FedWatch site.

But now, inflation’s surge to 7% tops the list of concerns in consumer surveys, coinciding with the slide in Biden’s poll ratings, so his endorsement of a less accommodative Fed policy appears to be a matter of political necessity.</p><p>So acute have inflation concerns become that some observers are urging more immediate and dramatic actions. That includes calls for a 50-basis-point jump in the fed-funds rate, as I wrote this past week on Barrons.com, or a complete halt in the Fed’s securities purchases, as I noted here a week ago, rather than the present path of winding down its buying by March.</p><p>But both would be out of character for the Powell Fed. “I can’t imagine another big pivot,” says John Ryding, chief economic advisor at Brean Capital. For most of 2021, the monetary authorities clung to the notion of “transitory” inflation. A sharp, initial 50-basis-point hike would be an admission of how they misjudged the building price pressures, he says.</p><p>Neither does Ryding look for the Fed to emulate the Bank of Canada, which abruptly ended its securities purchases last year. “What I hope to get is clarity” from the FOMC meeting in the coming week, he added in a telephone interview.</p><p>One possible surprise would be for the FOMC to further accelerate the tapering of the purchases, winding them up by mid-February, a month earlier than currently scheduled, write Nomura economists Aichi Amemiya, Robert Dent, and Kenny Lee in a client note. That would represent a marginal reduction of $20 billion in Treasury and $10 billion in agency mortgage-backed securities acquisitions, but would send a signal to the market about the Fed’s anti-inflation resolve.</p><p>In particular, they add, a quicker windup in the Fed’s bond buying might help avoid some awkward questions for Powell at his postmeeting news conference on Wednesday afternoon. The central bank continues to buy $40 billion of Treasuries and $20 billion a month in MBS, adding to its near-$9-trillion balance sheet, which means that it is actually easing, rather than tightening, policy, while talking of the need to curb inflation.</p><p>As for the Fed beginning to normalize its balance sheet, the Nomura economists think the announcement could come as early as the March or May FOMC meeting. Most Fed watchers expect a later start to the process of reducing the central bank’s securities holdings, after two or more rate hikes. And almost all think the Fed will allow maturing issues to run off at a predictable pace, rather than sell securities outright.</p><p>Some also suggest that the Fed could reduce its holdings of mortgage-backed securities more rapidly. The Fed has expressed a preference to returning to holding only Treasuries on its balance sheet, as was the case before the 2007-09 financial crisis, Ryding notes. And for months, many critics have argued that effectively subsidizing an already overheated housing market by buying MBS makes no sense.</p><p>But the relative economic and financial impact of changes in these two main monetary policy tools—interest rates and the central bank’s asset holdings—is unknown, he says. The Fed traditionally has utilized the fed-funds rate as its main policy lever and resorted to a huge expansion in its balance sheet when its key policy rate fell to the zero lower bound. Unlike other central banks, notably the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, the Fed has avoided resorting to negative interest rates.</p><p>Economists Cynthia Wu of Notre Dame and Fan Dora Xia of the Bank for International Settlements have estimated that the equivalent impact of the Fed’s asset purchases in what they dub a “shadow fed-funds rate,” which is tracked by the Atlanta Fed. The Wu-Xia shadow funds rate was minus 1.15% as of Dec. 31, according to the Atlanta Fed.</p><p>Ryding says Wu estimates that a change in the Fed’s balance sheet equal to 10% of U.S. gross domestic product—about $2 trillion—is roughly equivalent to a 100 basis point change in the fed-funds rate.</p><p>How central bank bond-buying affects the economy is still debated among economists. Most see asset purchases working through what they call the portfolio channel. As former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke explained in a Washington Post op-ed article in November 2010, the central bank buys securities to ease financial conditions, including to raise stock prices, which in turn boosts consumers’ wealth and confidence, and spurs spending.</p><p>And as the intriguing accompanying charts from Deutsche Bank’s head of thematic research Jim Reid illustrate, the big global tech growth stocks have moved in lockstep with the assets of the major central banks. The FANG+ group used in the chart consists of Meta Platforms (the former Facebook, ticker: FB), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), plus Alibaba Group Holding (BABA), Baidu (BIDU), Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), and Twitter (TWTR). The big five central banks are the Fed, the ECB, the People’s Bank of China, the BoJ, and the Bank of England.</p><p>“Correlation does not imply causation, but unless you are an incredibly strong advocate of a completely new earnings paradigm for the largest technology companies that coincidently have tracked unconventional monetary policy, then it is hard to argue against the notion that central bank policies have been a big contributor to an incredible run for the sector over the last six-to-seven years. Indeed, the only notable setback has been when global [quantitative tightening] arrived in 2018,” Reid observes in a client note.</p><p>The 13% decline in the FANG+ index from its November peak through Thursday is a bit steeper than the 11.5% drop in the popular Invesco QQQ exchange-traded fund (QQQ) that tracks the biggest Nasdaq nonfinancial stocks. And that’s before the Fed actually has begun to shrink its balance sheet.</p><p>The Fed has maintained its crisis policy of zero interest rates and active bond buying, initiated in March 2020 during the near-meltdown of markets resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus and its variants persist, but the economy has largely recovered, with the unemployment rate under 4% and the labor market beset by worker shortages. Inflation, meanwhile, has soared to 7% from a combination of supply constraints and pumped-up demand.</p><p>And nowhere is the impact of Fed policy more apparent than in asset prices, from the doubling of the S&amp;P 500 since its March 2020 bottom, to home prices jumping about 20%.

So, our warning from last week still stands: Be aware that this stock is only for folks who can handle a fair amount of volatility.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9093906362,"gmtCreate":1643477614775,"gmtModify":1676533824259,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Totally agree","listText":"Totally agree","text":"Totally agree","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9093906362","repostId":"1126756363","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126756363","pubTimestamp":1643433880,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126756363?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-29 13:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Metaverse Stocks to Buy Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126756363","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"With last year's direct listing of Roblox and Facebook's name change to Meta Platforms, the metavers","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>With last year&#39;s direct listing of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RBLX\"><b>Roblox</b></a> and Facebook&#39;s name change to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\"><b>Meta Platforms</b></a>, the metaverse took a few more steps into the limelight.

Each of them represents a one-hundredth interest in a share ofAMC’s<i>Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock</i>.</p><p>What’s that, I hear you say: you don’t know what the preferred stock is?</p><p>The preferred stock of AMC is an unlisted security, each of which can technically be converted into 100 AMC shares.</p><p>Therefore, if you own an APE share, you have a one-hundredth interest in a stock that might, someday, be converted into 100 AMC shares.</p><p>Since one-hundredth of 100 is simply one, this is how the economic value and voting rights of APE shares are the same as AMC shares.</p><p>However, conversion is unlikely to happen any time soon, as the AMC Board are not currently authorized by shareholders to issue any more AMC shares (more on that in a moment).</p><p>So for now, the conversion is only a technical possibility – but an important one, because it’s the basis on which APE shares have value.</p><h3>A crucial distinction</h3><p>We’ve established that APE shares a one-to-one derivative of AMC shares. The question arises: what is the<i>difference</i>between APE and AMC, if their economic value and voting rights are the same?</p><p>The answer is basically that there is none.</p><p>The company created a new security, with a new ticker, that was identical to the old security.</p><p>The key difference is this: the company lacked the authorization from shareholders to issue any more ordinary AMC stock.</p><p>From the 2021 10-K:</p><blockquote>Our authorized capital stock consists of 524,173,073 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”) and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 513,979,100 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.</blockquote><p>So the company had run up against its limit as far as Class A issuance was concerned – 514 million shares outstanding, and only 524 million shares authorised.</p><p>During 2021, the companyflirtedwith the idea of issuing more common stock, but many shareholders were reportedly unhappy with the prospect of yet more dilution. CEO Adam Aron was forced to give up on the plan.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f9d72aa4e55082dbaa5d9844a2e02346\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"267\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>He promised there would be “no more such requests in 2021”. If only the institutions could have guessed what he (or his advisors) would come up with next!</p><p>Here is the evolution of AMC’s share count over recent years:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75f67c1344881c95eb866297466e4f69\" tg-width=\"580\" tg-height=\"188\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The enormous dilution of 2021 did save the company from suffering the same fate as Cineworld/Regal (currently undergoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy), but it appears that the largest shareholders – respectable mainstream funds, for the most part - reached the limit of what they could tolerate.</p><p>However, if you go back to the 10-K excerpt I pasted above, you’ll note that that the company had an unused, authorized limit of 50 million shares of preferred stock.</p><p>This is the “loophole”, as it has been called, that the company used to issue APEs.</p><p>As Adam Aron said in his announcement letter to shareholders:</p><blockquote>The issuance of APE’s now is made possible given the previously and repeatedly announced approval by AMC’s shareholders back in 2013 that the creation and issuance of AMC preferred stock could occur solely at the AMC Entertainment Board of Directors’ future discretion.</blockquote><p>Given the unusual design of APE stock, it&#39;s likely that theinstitutionswho own AMC were surprised by how this preferred stock authorization would eventually be used!</p><h3>A pointless security</h3><p>In the traditions of finance, the purpose of preferred stock is to do something different to common stock. Typically, it provides investors with a compromise: a safer income stream than common stock, but with less potential upside.</p><p>Preferred stock that has all of the same features as common stock is in fact pointless, except where the company and its shareholders disagree as to how much common stock should be issued.</p><p>But in his letter to shareholders, CEO Adam Aron argued that far from being pointless, the APE share issuance was a “decisive and valorous action”.</p><p>He wrote that “for a variety of reasons, a dividend distribution in just about any form has been a longstanding request from our investor base. Today, we answered your call.”</p><p>Again, in the traditions of finance, the purpose of dividends is to return cash to shareholders. Stock dividends are common enough, but how many of AMC’s shareholders, if any, called for a stock dividend rather than a cash dividend? And why? What is the useful economic purpose achieved by an AMC stock dividend?</p><p>He also wrote:</p><blockquote>So, too, this issuance of 516,820,595 new APEs will essentially serve the same purpose as the much voiced request for a “share count,” as the new AMC Preferred Equity unit will ONLY go to holders of company issued and outstanding AMC common shares. Again, today, we answered your call.</blockquote><p>Here, he is referring to aconspiracyamong some retail AMC shareholders, that the official AMC share count is somehow wrong. He is suggesting that the issuance of APEs will help to shut down this theory.</p><p>It should go without saying, but debunking conspiracy theories held by retail traders is not a good justification for a stock dividend.</p><p>He then veers into yet more questionable territory:</p><blockquote>Because the dividend is only being distributed to our current shareholder base as of the dividend record date, there also is NO DILUTION from this initial issuance of the APEs associated with this dividend, because these new APEs all go, and only go to holders of company issued AMC common shares. The number of issued and outstanding AMC common shares will remain at 516,820,595 after the dividend is paid, and each shareholder also will own one APE for every share of AMC common stock held.</blockquote><p>My objection to this statement is that while the initial APE issuance by itself did not dilute shareholders, their creation allowed for much greater shareholder dilution in the future.</p><p>Indeed, Mr. Aron explains in the shareholder letter that APEs will allow AMC “to raise money if we need or so choose, which immensely lessens any survival risk… [APE is] a currency that can be used in the future to further strengthen our balance sheet, including paying down some of our debt and other liabilities”.</p><h3>Latest filing</h3><p>All of which brings us to the latest filing, issuedSeptember 26th, 2022. A fundraising arrangement has been agreed with Citigroup:</p><blockquote>As a natural next step [to the APE issuance], today AMC entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) to allow for the sale from time to time of up to a maximum of 425,000,000 AMC Preferred Equity Units.</blockquote><p>Remember that AMC can issue up to 50 million units of Series A preferred stock.</p><p>The Series A preferred stock has been created with a 100x multiplier against the common stock. This means in total there could eventually be up to five billion APEs (the Board has currently allowed for up to a maximum of one billion APEs).</p><p>In the August FAQ sent to shareholders, the company said:</p><blockquote>The AMC Board currently has no plan or intention in calendar years 2022 or 2023 to authorize more than this initial 1 billion amount of APEs.

Each of them represents a one-hundredth interest in a share ofAMC’sSeries A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock.What’s that, I hear you say: you don’t know what the preferred stock is?The preferred stock of AMC is an unlisted security, each of which can technically be converted into 100 AMC shares.Therefore, if you own an APE share, you have a one-hundredth interest in a stock that might, someday, be converted into 100 AMC shares.Since one-hundredth of 100 is simply one, this is how the economic value and voting rights of APE shares are the same as AMC shares.However, conversion is unlikely to happen any time soon, as the AMC Board are not currently authorized by shareholders to issue any more AMC shares (more on that in a moment).So for now, the conversion is only a technical possibility – but an important one, because it’s the basis on which APE shares have value.A crucial distinctionWe’ve established that APE shares a one-to-one derivative of AMC shares. The question arises: what is thedifferencebetween APE and AMC, if their economic value and voting rights are the same?The answer is basically that there is none.The company created a new security, with a new ticker, that was identical to the old security.The key difference is this: the company lacked the authorization from shareholders to issue any more ordinary AMC stock.From the 2021 10-K:Our authorized capital stock consists of 524,173,073 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”) and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2021, there were 513,979,100 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.So the company had run up against its limit as far as Class A issuance was concerned – 514 million shares outstanding, and only 524 million shares authorised.During 2021, the companyflirtedwith the idea of issuing more common stock, but many shareholders were reportedly unhappy with the prospect of yet more dilution. CEO Adam Aron was forced to give up on the plan.He promised there would be “no more such requests in 2021”. If only the institutions could have guessed what he (or his advisors) would come up with next!Here is the evolution of AMC’s share count over recent years:The enormous dilution of 2021 did save the company from suffering the same fate as Cineworld/Regal (currently undergoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy), but it appears that the largest shareholders – respectable mainstream funds, for the most part - reached the limit of what they could tolerate.However, if you go back to the 10-K excerpt I pasted above, you’ll note that that the company had an unused, authorized limit of 50 million shares of preferred stock.This is the “loophole”, as it has been called, that the company used to issue APEs.As Adam Aron said in his announcement letter to shareholders:The issuance of APE’s now is made possible given the previously and repeatedly announced approval by AMC’s shareholders back in 2013 that the creation and issuance of AMC preferred stock could occur solely at the AMC Entertainment Board of Directors’ future discretion.Given the unusual design of APE stock, it's likely that theinstitutionswho own AMC were surprised by how this preferred stock authorization would eventually be used!A pointless securityIn the traditions of finance, the purpose of preferred stock is to do something different to common stock. Typically, it provides investors with a compromise: a safer income stream than common stock, but with less potential upside.Preferred stock that has all of the same features as common stock is in fact pointless, except where the company and its shareholders disagree as to how much common stock should be issued.But in his letter to shareholders, CEO Adam Aron argued that far from being pointless, the APE share issuance was a “decisive and valorous action”.He wrote that “for a variety of reasons, a dividend distribution in just about any form has been a longstanding request from our investor base. Today, we answered your call.”Again, in the traditions of finance, the purpose of dividends is to return cash to shareholders. Stock dividends are common enough, but how many of AMC’s shareholders, if any, called for a stock dividend rather than a cash dividend? And why? What is the useful economic purpose achieved by an AMC stock dividend?He also wrote:So, too, this issuance of 516,820,595 new APEs will essentially serve the same purpose as the much voiced request for a “share count,” as the new AMC Preferred Equity unit will ONLY go to holders of company issued and outstanding AMC common shares. Again, today, we answered your call.Here, he is referring to aconspiracyamong some retail AMC shareholders, that the official AMC share count is somehow wrong. He is suggesting that the issuance of APEs will help to shut down this theory.It should go without saying, but debunking conspiracy theories held by retail traders is not a good justification for a stock dividend.He then veers into yet more questionable territory:Because the dividend is only being distributed to our current shareholder base as of the dividend record date, there also is NO DILUTION from this initial issuance of the APEs associated with this dividend, because these new APEs all go, and only go to holders of company issued AMC common shares. The number of issued and outstanding AMC common shares will remain at 516,820,595 after the dividend is paid, and each shareholder also will own one APE for every share of AMC common stock held.My objection to this statement is that while the initial APE issuance by itself did not dilute shareholders, their creation allowed for much greater shareholder dilution in the future.Indeed, Mr. Aron explains in the shareholder letter that APEs will allow AMC “to raise money if we need or so choose, which immensely lessens any survival risk… [APE is] a currency that can be used in the future to further strengthen our balance sheet, including paying down some of our debt and other liabilities”.Latest filingAll of which brings us to the latest filing, issuedSeptember 26th, 2022. A fundraising arrangement has been agreed with Citigroup:As a natural next step [to the APE issuance], today AMC entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) to allow for the sale from time to time of up to a maximum of 425,000,000 AMC Preferred Equity Units.Remember that AMC can issue up to 50 million units of Series A preferred stock.The Series A preferred stock has been created with a 100x multiplier against the common stock. This means in total there could eventually be up to five billion APEs (the Board has currently allowed for up to a maximum of one billion APEs).In the August FAQ sent to shareholders, the company said:The AMC Board currently has no plan or intention in calendar years 2022 or 2023 to authorize more than this initial 1 billion amount of APEs. However, AMC’s Board of directors may authorize additional AMC Preferred Equity units at any time in the future at its sole discretion, including in 2022 or 2023 if it deems such an issuance to be in AMC’s best interests...It’s noteworthy that they couldn’t wait even two months before making arrangements for the additional issuance of APEs.APE currently trades at $3.64, an attractive discount to AMC common stock. Arbitrage between APE and AMC shares may be possible.But unfortunately for the company, the low price of APE stock limits its usefulness when it comes to raising funds: even if the company sold the entire 425 million tranche announced today at $3 (a 20% discount to the latest APE share price), it would raise less than $1.3 billion.According to the most recent 10-Q, the company has corporate borrowings (net of cash) of $4.4 billion. Therefore, unless the APE share price can rise considerably to absorb additional supply, APE issuance will provide only partial deleveraging relief to the company.And while only providing partial relief, an additional 425 million APE shares would increase the company's total share count by over 41%.Far from \"no dilution\", I fear that AMC and APE shareholders will soon be facing very considerable dilution.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":480,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007790022,"gmtCreate":1642996954432,"gmtModify":1676533763560,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope for the best","listText":"Hope for the best","text":"Hope for the best","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007790022","repostId":"1122641919","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1122641919","pubTimestamp":1642994237,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1122641919?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-24 11:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This Fed Meeting Is Crucial.

The obverse of the famous advice from Richard Nixon’s attorney general, John Mitchell, is what economists and market participants will be doing on Wednesday, when the panel may elucidate its policy plans but is unlikely to take any immediate action.</p><p>To be sure, stock and bond markets have started 2022 by adjusting to the reality of a less accommodative Federal Reserve monetary policy ahead. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note’s yield is up 34 basis points since the turn of the year, at 1.836% on Thursday, while the Nasdaq Composite has entered a so-called 10% correction from its peak last November. And the federal-funds futures market has fully priced in an initial 25-basis-point increase in the Fed’s key policy rate, from the current ground-hugging 0% to 0.25%, at the March 15-16 FOMC gathering, according to the CME FedWatch site. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)</p><p>But no rate increase is likely this week, despite a growing consensus (including from President Joe Biden) on the need for a less accommodative Fed policy, given the sharp rise of inflation. At his news conference on Wednesday, Biden expressed support for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s plan to “recalibrate” policy. “The critical job of making sure that the elevated prices don’t become entrenched rests with the Federal Reserve, which has a dual mandate: full employment and stable prices,” the president said.</p><p>That’s a sharp reversal of the pressure often exerted by past presidents for easier money. From Lyndon B. Johnson to Nixon and Donald Trump, presidents have variously tried to cajole or coerce Fed chairmen into lower interest rates or avoid raising them, while George H.W. Bush blamed a too-tight Fed for his electoral defeat. But now, inflation’s surge to 7% tops the list of concerns in consumer surveys, coinciding with the slide in Biden’s poll ratings, so his endorsement of a less accommodative Fed policy appears to be a matter of political necessity.</p><p>So acute have inflation concerns become that some observers are urging more immediate and dramatic actions. That includes calls for a 50-basis-point jump in the fed-funds rate, as I wrote this past week on Barrons.com, or a complete halt in the Fed’s securities purchases, as I noted here a week ago, rather than the present path of winding down its buying by March.</p><p>But both would be out of character for the Powell Fed. “I can’t imagine another big pivot,” says John Ryding, chief economic advisor at Brean Capital. For most of 2021, the monetary authorities clung to the notion of “transitory” inflation. A sharp, initial 50-basis-point hike would be an admission of how they misjudged the building price pressures, he says.</p><p>Neither does Ryding look for the Fed to emulate the Bank of Canada, which abruptly ended its securities purchases last year. “What I hope to get is clarity” from the FOMC meeting in the coming week, he added in a telephone interview.</p><p>One possible surprise would be for the FOMC to further accelerate the tapering of the purchases, winding them up by mid-February, a month earlier than currently scheduled, write Nomura economists Aichi Amemiya, Robert Dent, and Kenny Lee in a client note. That would represent a marginal reduction of $20 billion in Treasury and $10 billion in agency mortgage-backed securities acquisitions, but would send a signal to the market about the Fed’s anti-inflation resolve.</p><p>In particular, they add, a quicker windup in the Fed’s bond buying might help avoid some awkward questions for Powell at his postmeeting news conference on Wednesday afternoon. The central bank continues to buy $40 billion of Treasuries and $20 billion a month in MBS, adding to its near-$9-trillion balance sheet, which means that it is actually easing, rather than tightening, policy, while talking of the need to curb inflation.</p><p>As for the Fed beginning to normalize its balance sheet, the Nomura economists think the announcement could come as early as the March or May FOMC meeting. Most Fed watchers expect a later start to the process of reducing the central bank’s securities holdings, after two or more rate hikes. And almost all think the Fed will allow maturing issues to run off at a predictable pace, rather than sell securities outright.</p><p>Some also suggest that the Fed could reduce its holdings of mortgage-backed securities more rapidly. The Fed has expressed a preference to returning to holding only Treasuries on its balance sheet, as was the case before the 2007-09 financial crisis, Ryding notes. And for months, many critics have argued that effectively subsidizing an already overheated housing market by buying MBS makes no sense.</p><p>But the relative economic and financial impact of changes in these two main monetary policy tools—interest rates and the central bank’s asset holdings—is unknown, he says. The Fed traditionally has utilized the fed-funds rate as its main policy lever and resorted to a huge expansion in its balance sheet when its key policy rate fell to the zero lower bound. Unlike other central banks, notably the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, the Fed has avoided resorting to negative interest rates.</p><p>Economists Cynthia Wu of Notre Dame and Fan Dora Xia of the Bank for International Settlements have estimated that the equivalent impact of the Fed’s asset purchases in what they dub a “shadow fed-funds rate,” which is tracked by the Atlanta Fed. The Wu-Xia shadow funds rate was minus 1.15% as of Dec. 31, according to the Atlanta Fed.</p><p>Ryding says Wu estimates that a change in the Fed’s balance sheet equal to 10% of U.S. gross domestic product—about $2 trillion—is roughly equivalent to a 100 basis point change in the fed-funds rate.</p><p>How central bank bond-buying affects the economy is still debated among economists. Most see asset purchases working through what they call the portfolio channel. As former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke explained in a Washington Post op-ed article in November 2010, the central bank buys securities to ease financial conditions, including to raise stock prices, which in turn boosts consumers’ wealth and confidence, and spurs spending.</p><p>And as the intriguing accompanying charts from Deutsche Bank’s head of thematic research Jim Reid illustrate, the big global tech growth stocks have moved in lockstep with the assets of the major central banks. The FANG+ group used in the chart consists of Meta Platforms (the former Facebook, ticker: FB), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), plus Alibaba Group Holding (BABA), Baidu (BIDU), Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), and Twitter (TWTR). The big five central banks are the Fed, the ECB, the People’s Bank of China, the BoJ, and the Bank of England.</p><p>“Correlation does not imply causation, but unless you are an incredibly strong advocate of a completely new earnings paradigm for the largest technology companies that coincidently have tracked unconventional monetary policy, then it is hard to argue against the notion that central bank policies have been a big contributor to an incredible run for the sector over the last six-to-seven years. Indeed, the only notable setback has been when global [quantitative tightening] arrived in 2018,” Reid observes in a client note.</p><p>The 13% decline in the FANG+ index from its November peak through Thursday is a bit steeper than the 11.5% drop in the popular Invesco QQQ exchange-traded fund (QQQ) that tracks the biggest Nasdaq nonfinancial stocks. And that’s before the Fed actually has begun to shrink its balance sheet.</p><p>The Fed has maintained its crisis policy of zero interest rates and active bond buying, initiated in March 2020 during the near-meltdown of markets resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus and its variants persist, but the economy has largely recovered, with the unemployment rate under 4% and the labor market beset by worker shortages. Inflation, meanwhile, has soared to 7% from a combination of supply constraints and pumped-up demand.</p><p>And nowhere is the impact of Fed policy more apparent than in asset prices, from the doubling of the S&amp;P 500 since its March 2020 bottom, to home prices jumping about 20%. Investors will be listening carefully to what Powell &amp; Co. say this coming week and beyond about normalizing those policies.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>This Fed Meeting Is Crucial.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury note’s yield is up 34 basis points since the turn of the year, at 1.836% on Thursday, while the Nasdaq Composite has entered a so-called 10% correction from its peak last November. And the federal-funds futures market has fully priced in an initial 25-basis-point increase in the Fed’s key policy rate, from the current ground-hugging 0% to 0.25%, at the March 15-16 FOMC gathering, according to the CME FedWatch site. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)But no rate increase is likely this week, despite a growing consensus (including from President Joe Biden) on the need for a less accommodative Fed policy, given the sharp rise of inflation. At his news conference on Wednesday, Biden expressed support for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s plan to “recalibrate” policy. “The critical job of making sure that the elevated prices don’t become entrenched rests with the Federal Reserve, which has a dual mandate: full employment and stable prices,” the president said.That’s a sharp reversal of the pressure often exerted by past presidents for easier money. From Lyndon B. Johnson to Nixon and Donald Trump, presidents have variously tried to cajole or coerce Fed chairmen into lower interest rates or avoid raising them, while George H.W. Bush blamed a too-tight Fed for his electoral defeat. But now, inflation’s surge to 7% tops the list of concerns in consumer surveys, coinciding with the slide in Biden’s poll ratings, so his endorsement of a less accommodative Fed policy appears to be a matter of political necessity.So acute have inflation concerns become that some observers are urging more immediate and dramatic actions. That includes calls for a 50-basis-point jump in the fed-funds rate, as I wrote this past week on Barrons.com, or a complete halt in the Fed’s securities purchases, as I noted here a week ago, rather than the present path of winding down its buying by March.But both would be out of character for the Powell Fed. “I can’t imagine another big pivot,” says John Ryding, chief economic advisor at Brean Capital. For most of 2021, the monetary authorities clung to the notion of “transitory” inflation. A sharp, initial 50-basis-point hike would be an admission of how they misjudged the building price pressures, he says.Neither does Ryding look for the Fed to emulate the Bank of Canada, which abruptly ended its securities purchases last year. “What I hope to get is clarity” from the FOMC meeting in the coming week, he added in a telephone interview.One possible surprise would be for the FOMC to further accelerate the tapering of the purchases, winding them up by mid-February, a month earlier than currently scheduled, write Nomura economists Aichi Amemiya, Robert Dent, and Kenny Lee in a client note. That would represent a marginal reduction of $20 billion in Treasury and $10 billion in agency mortgage-backed securities acquisitions, but would send a signal to the market about the Fed’s anti-inflation resolve.In particular, they add, a quicker windup in the Fed’s bond buying might help avoid some awkward questions for Powell at his postmeeting news conference on Wednesday afternoon. The central bank continues to buy $40 billion of Treasuries and $20 billion a month in MBS, adding to its near-$9-trillion balance sheet, which means that it is actually easing, rather than tightening, policy, while talking of the need to curb inflation.As for the Fed beginning to normalize its balance sheet, the Nomura economists think the announcement could come as early as the March or May FOMC meeting. Most Fed watchers expect a later start to the process of reducing the central bank’s securities holdings, after two or more rate hikes. And almost all think the Fed will allow maturing issues to run off at a predictable pace, rather than sell securities outright.Some also suggest that the Fed could reduce its holdings of mortgage-backed securities more rapidly. The Fed has expressed a preference to returning to holding only Treasuries on its balance sheet, as was the case before the 2007-09 financial crisis, Ryding notes. And for months, many critics have argued that effectively subsidizing an already overheated housing market by buying MBS makes no sense.But the relative economic and financial impact of changes in these two main monetary policy tools—interest rates and the central bank’s asset holdings—is unknown, he says. The Fed traditionally has utilized the fed-funds rate as its main policy lever and resorted to a huge expansion in its balance sheet when its key policy rate fell to the zero lower bound. Unlike other central banks, notably the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, the Fed has avoided resorting to negative interest rates.Economists Cynthia Wu of Notre Dame and Fan Dora Xia of the Bank for International Settlements have estimated that the equivalent impact of the Fed’s asset purchases in what they dub a “shadow fed-funds rate,” which is tracked by the Atlanta Fed. The Wu-Xia shadow funds rate was minus 1.15% as of Dec. 31, according to the Atlanta Fed.Ryding says Wu estimates that a change in the Fed’s balance sheet equal to 10% of U.S. gross domestic product—about $2 trillion—is roughly equivalent to a 100 basis point change in the fed-funds rate.How central bank bond-buying affects the economy is still debated among economists. Most see asset purchases working through what they call the portfolio channel. As former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke explained in a Washington Post op-ed article in November 2010, the central bank buys securities to ease financial conditions, including to raise stock prices, which in turn boosts consumers’ wealth and confidence, and spurs spending.And as the intriguing accompanying charts from Deutsche Bank’s head of thematic research Jim Reid illustrate, the big global tech growth stocks have moved in lockstep with the assets of the major central banks. The FANG+ group used in the chart consists of Meta Platforms (the former Facebook, ticker: FB), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), plus Alibaba Group Holding (BABA), Baidu (BIDU), Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), and Twitter (TWTR). The big five central banks are the Fed, the ECB, the People’s Bank of China, the BoJ, and the Bank of England.“Correlation does not imply causation, but unless you are an incredibly strong advocate of a completely new earnings paradigm for the largest technology companies that coincidently have tracked unconventional monetary policy, then it is hard to argue against the notion that central bank policies have been a big contributor to an incredible run for the sector over the last six-to-seven years. Indeed, the only notable setback has been when global [quantitative tightening] arrived in 2018,” Reid observes in a client note.The 13% decline in the FANG+ index from its November peak through Thursday is a bit steeper than the 11.5% drop in the popular Invesco QQQ exchange-traded fund (QQQ) that tracks the biggest Nasdaq nonfinancial stocks. And that’s before the Fed actually has begun to shrink its balance sheet.The Fed has maintained its crisis policy of zero interest rates and active bond buying, initiated in March 2020 during the near-meltdown of markets resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus and its variants persist, but the economy has largely recovered, with the unemployment rate under 4% and the labor market beset by worker shortages. Inflation, meanwhile, has soared to 7% from a combination of supply constraints and pumped-up demand.And nowhere is the impact of Fed policy more apparent than in asset prices, from the doubling of the S&P 500 since its March 2020 bottom, to home prices jumping about 20%. Investors will be listening carefully to what Powell & Co. say this coming week and beyond about normalizing those policies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030208802,"gmtCreate":1645722608611,"gmtModify":1676534057472,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wth is wrong with putin&nbsp;","listText":"Wth is wrong with putin&nbsp;","text":"Wth is wrong with putin","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9030208802","repostId":"1153236103","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153236103","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1645713014,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1153236103?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-24 22:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow Plunges More Than 800 Points as Russia Attacks Ukraine, Nasdaq Falls into Bear Market Territory","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153236103","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stocks fell sharply Thursday as Russia attacked Ukraine, causing global energy prices to jump and se","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Stocks fell sharply Thursday as Russia attacked Ukraine, causing global energy prices to jump and sending investors fleeing for the safety of fixed income assets.</p><p>The invasion comes as global equity markets were already reeling because of decades-high inflation stemming from the pandemic.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 was down 2.5%, as the benchmark plunged further into correction territory.

But when a business is young and has negligible revenue and negative cash flow and earnings, it&#39;s more important than ever to listen to the conference calls and investor presentations.</p><p>Before Lucid merged with a SPAC called <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CCC.U\">Churchill Capital</a> IV in July, you could still buy its stock under the Churchill Capital IV ticker. And although Lucid didn&#39;t give quarterly earnings calls because it wasn&#39;t yet a public company, it would give occasional investor presentations. The two big ones were in May 2021 and July 2021.</p><p>Even back then, it was clear to see that Lucid&#39;s executives, led by CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson, are flashy, confident, and highly ambitious.</p><p>This silver-tongued rhetoric sounds great when times are good and Lucid stock is within striking distance of a $100 billion market cap. But during lean years, as 2022 is certain to be, a gung-ho tone can sometimes come across as overconfident and even a bit insincere.</p><h2>A fine line between confidence and arrogance</h2><p>During Lucid&#39;s most recent conference call for Q4 and full-year 2021, the company reported much-lower-than-expected production and deliveries, delayed the release of the Lucid Gravity SUV until 2024, slashed 2022 delivery guidance from 20,000 vehicles to a range of 12,000 to 14,000 vehicles, and reported high spending that is likely to only increase from here. In sum, poor results and poor guidance.</p><p>Yet throughout the conference call, Lucid&#39;s management was a little too dismissive of these problems, shrugging off supply chain concerns since they weren&#39;t related to battery packs but instead to cosmetic components, carpets, and glass. Or by saying that the cash position was strong enough to outlast short-term challenges. That may be true, but at the end of the day Lucid needs to produce and deliver cars and start making money, or it&#39;s going to have to raise more cash in a tighter and higher-interest-rate business environment.</p><p>To be fair, Lucid already believes it makes the best electric sedan on the market and that it won&#39;t have trouble finding buyers. So if those two points are true and stay true for several years, then the company has a point that it just needs to get past this hiccup in the supply chain and then it&#39;ll be as good as gold. Lucid&#39;s technology is amazing, and the company has a lot going for it that could make it a long-term winner. It&#39;s just not doing itself any favors by assuming the race is won.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F672950%2Flucid.jpeg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"700\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Statista.</p><h2>Addressing concerns head-on</h2><p>Rivian&#39;s Q4 and full-year 2021 conference call was different from Lucid&#39;s. It sounded less like a marketing presentation and more like a battle plan.</p><p>Rivian said that it believes it could have produced and delivered 50,000 vehicles under normal circumstances but expects to only be able to produce and deliver 25,000 vehicles because of supply chain constraints. Instead of excessively blaming economic factors or suppliers for the situation, Rivian simply accepted the reality of the situation and got down to business.</p><p>Rivian CEO and founder RJ Scaringe spent a lot of time discussing short-term goals in addition to long-term goals to give analysts and listeners specific points to track for the rest of the year. For example, Rivian is planning on significantly ramping up production of its electric van, the EDV, in Q2 2022. It also discussed updates on its manufacturing expansions, why it is increasing spending in 2022, and how that will set it up for 2023 and 2024, and it gave tons of informative commentary on new technology such as its 800-volt architecture, dual and quad motor configurations, and software integrations.</p><h2>Rising to the occasion</h2><p>Neither electric car company can control macroeconomic factors. But they can control how they react to challenges and overcome them. Lucid gave a lot of bad news and discussed why its company is still amazing. Rivian gave a lot of bad news but discussed, in detail, what it was doing to stay proactive, make its products better, and become a better company.</p><p>Lucid downplayed threats of competition and ignored some major questions I was hoping it would answer on the call, such as the severity of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subpoena, the extent of the Lucid Air recall, updates to 2023 production and delivery guidance, current manufacturing output, and estimated year-end capacity.</p><p>With Rivian, it felt as if the company understood the pressure it was under and the seriousness of the situation -- that cash burn is unsustainable and the company still has something to prove and needs to keep getting better or else it could fail.</p><p>Management is a critical part of every company. Good companies are able to adapt to good times and bad and be open and honest with investors. In times like these, it&#39;s important for management to be upfront about issues and reel in the sales rhetoric.</p></body></html>","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>Rivian Has an Edge Over Lucid in This Key Category</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\">\nRivian Has an Edge Over Lucid in This Key Category\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-05 21:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/05/rivian-has-an-edge-over-lucid-in-this-key-category/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Rivian Automotive ( RIVN 0.19% ) and Lucid Group ( LCID 2.69% ) have taken the auto industry and the U.S. stock market by storm, but for different reasons.

But during lean years, as 2022 is certain to be, a gung-ho tone can sometimes come across as overconfident and even a bit insincere.A fine line between confidence and arroganceDuring Lucid's most recent conference call for Q4 and full-year 2021, the company reported much-lower-than-expected production and deliveries, delayed the release of the Lucid Gravity SUV until 2024, slashed 2022 delivery guidance from 20,000 vehicles to a range of 12,000 to 14,000 vehicles, and reported high spending that is likely to only increase from here. In sum, poor results and poor guidance.Yet throughout the conference call, Lucid's management was a little too dismissive of these problems, shrugging off supply chain concerns since they weren't related to battery packs but instead to cosmetic components, carpets, and glass. Or by saying that the cash position was strong enough to outlast short-term challenges. That may be true, but at the end of the day Lucid needs to produce and deliver cars and start making money, or it's going to have to raise more cash in a tighter and higher-interest-rate business environment.To be fair, Lucid already believes it makes the best electric sedan on the market and that it won't have trouble finding buyers. So if those two points are true and stay true for several years, then the company has a point that it just needs to get past this hiccup in the supply chain and then it'll be as good as gold. Lucid's technology is amazing, and the company has a lot going for it that could make it a long-term winner. It's just not doing itself any favors by assuming the race is won.Image source: Statista.Addressing concerns head-onRivian's Q4 and full-year 2021 conference call was different from Lucid's. It sounded less like a marketing presentation and more like a battle plan.Rivian said that it believes it could have produced and delivered 50,000 vehicles under normal circumstances but expects to only be able to produce and deliver 25,000 vehicles because of supply chain constraints. Instead of excessively blaming economic factors or suppliers for the situation, Rivian simply accepted the reality of the situation and got down to business.Rivian CEO and founder RJ Scaringe spent a lot of time discussing short-term goals in addition to long-term goals to give analysts and listeners specific points to track for the rest of the year. For example, Rivian is planning on significantly ramping up production of its electric van, the EDV, in Q2 2022. It also discussed updates on its manufacturing expansions, why it is increasing spending in 2022, and how that will set it up for 2023 and 2024, and it gave tons of informative commentary on new technology such as its 800-volt architecture, dual and quad motor configurations, and software integrations.Rising to the occasionNeither electric car company can control macroeconomic factors. But they can control how they react to challenges and overcome them. Lucid gave a lot of bad news and discussed why its company is still amazing. Rivian gave a lot of bad news but discussed, in detail, what it was doing to stay proactive, make its products better, and become a better company.Lucid downplayed threats of competition and ignored some major questions I was hoping it would answer on the call, such as the severity of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subpoena, the extent of the Lucid Air recall, updates to 2023 production and delivery guidance, current manufacturing output, and estimated year-end capacity.With Rivian, it felt as if the company understood the pressure it was under and the seriousness of the situation -- that cash burn is unsustainable and the company still has something to prove and needs to keep getting better or else it could fail.Management is a critical part of every company. Good companies are able to adapt to good times and bad and be open and honest with investors. In times like these, it's important for management to be upfront about issues and reel in the sales rhetoric.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":545,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9002326924,"gmtCreate":1641922960686,"gmtModify":1676533662344,"author":{"id":"3584958427298747","authorId":"3584958427298747","name":"Mhmmdbnmstff","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cda09e25675182d54400a4372a55967","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584958427298747","authorIdStr":"3584958427298747"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"About time&nbsp;","listText":"About time&nbsp;","text":"About time","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9002326924","repostId":"1117653776","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117653776","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1641547290,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117653776?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-07 17:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airline Stocks Earnings Are Coming.

(NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), which investors also refer to as Google, continues to warrant a Buy investment rating in my opinion. In my previous July 7, 2022 update for Alphabet, I indicated that Google is &#34;aBuy during the dip&#34; in the short term.</p><p>My attention turns to Alphabet&#39;s appeal as a long-term investment in the current article. Google&#39;s recent uninspiring share price performance and a decrease in the average sell-side analyst rating for the stock might have come as a disappointment for some investors. But there are multiple signs and indicators, as detailed in this article, which suggest that Alphabet&#39;s business and financial outlook in the long run is still excellent.</p><p>I think there are a number of growth drivers and value creation levers that will drive Google&#39;s stock price up over time. Therefore, I keep my Buy rating on Alphabet unchanged, based on the belief that investors in Google with a long-term horizon will eventually be rewarded for their patience.</p><h2>Has Google Stock Performed Well?</h2><p>Google stock hasn&#39;t performed well in recent times.</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s stock price declined by-29% and -26% for the 2022 year-to-date and the one-year time periods, respectively. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 was down by -19% and -13% for this year thus far and the last year, respectively.

Another way to look at this is that there were no Hold or Sell ratings for Alphabet in the months of April, May and June 2022, but three analysts rated Google as a Hold since July this year.</p><p>In a nutshell, investor sentiment for Alphabet has weakened in recent months based on an analysis of the change in investment ratings for the stock.</p><h2>Alphabet Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>There are a number of positive takeaways from Alphabet stock&#39;s key metrics disclosed as part of the company&#39;s most recent quarterly financial results and management commentary from other sources as well. These metrics support the thesis that Google is an excellent investment candidate for the long run.</p><p>Firstly, Alphabet&#39;s Google Search &amp; Other business performed very well in Q2 2022 notwithstanding macroeconomic challenges, and this bodes well for the long-term outlook for the company and its core business.</p><p>According to its Q2 2022 10-Q filing, revenue for the Google Search &amp; Other service grew by +13.5% YoY from $35.9 billion in Q2 2021 to $40.7 billion for Q2 2022. Alphabet&#39;s actual Q2 2022 revenue for the Google Search &amp; Other business also beat the market&#39;s consensus forecast by approximately +1% as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i> data.</p><p>Google Search &amp; Other is the most important business for Alphabet, as it is the company&#39;s largest revenue contributor accounting for 58% of its top line FY 2021. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, Alphabet stressed that the company&#39;s strategy is to provide products and services that are &#34;helpful to people and businesses during uncertain moments&#34; and &#34;for the long term&#34; as well. Specifically, GOOG highlighted that Google Search serves the purpose of enabling people &#34;to find anything from anywhere.&#34;</p><p>The good Q2 2022 performance of the Google Search &amp; Other business line even during difficult times like these is encouraging. This suggests that Google&#39;s search ads will remain a very relevant tool for advertisers in their efforts to reach out to their target audience in the intermediate to long term. As an example of how Alphabet is optimizing Google Search to adapt to changes in users&#39; preferences and needs, the company is constantly tweaking its Search products to facilitate voice and visual searches which are becoming more popular.</p><p>Secondly, Alphabet is trying hard to achieve a balance between cost optimization in the short term and sustaining investments for the long run. I believe this cost optimization exercise in the near term will allow GOOGL to re-allocate cost savings and excess capital into projects that have the best chance of delivering the most upside in the long term.</p><p><i>Seeking Alpha News</i> reported on September 7, 2022 that the CEO of Alphabet mentioned at a recent conference that he &#34;is looking to make Google &#39;20% more productive&#39;&#34;, which &#34;may call for job reductions.&#34; The CEO&#39;s comments are consistent with what the company&#39;s CFO noted at the recent quarterly results call. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, the CFO of Google emphasized that the company needs to ensure that it is &#34;using resources effectively where we can to redeploy it and put it back into long-term investments.&#34;</p><p>An August 16, 2022 <i>BofA Securities</i> research report (not publicly available) titled &#34;More Layoff Speculation In Press&#34; estimated that Alphabet has &#34;roughly 50k employees (40% growth) added since the pandemic in 1Q’20.&#34; This suggests that Google has substantial leeway to cut back on expenses and reinvest such savings in long term growth opportunities.</p><p>Thirdly, Google&#39;s shareholder capital return metrics for the year-to-date period have been impressive, and this is an important investment criterion for investors. Allocating a meaningful amount of excess capital to share buybacks or dividends typically suggests that a company is shareholder-friendly and exercises prudence in the area of capital investments (which competes with the other key capital allocation alternative, shareholder capital return).</p><p>Alphabet spent approximately $15.2 billion on share buybacks in Q2 2022, and this means that it has allocated around $28.5 billion to share repurchases for the first half of this year. Assuming that Google maintains the same pace of share buybacks in 2H 2022, this will work out to be a decent annualized share buyback yield of 4%.</p><p>The company&#39;s continued emphasis on shareholder capital return is critical for two key reasons.</p><p>One key reason is that a company with a track record of consistent shareholder capital returns will usually consider the expected investment returns of various capital allocation alternatives more carefully. In the case of Alphabet, it might be compelled to invest in more risky projects with uncertain payoffs in the absence of a share buyback program like the one it has now.</p><p>The other key reason is that share repurchases serve as a potential avenue of value creation in uncertain times. As the economy continues to weaken and the bear market is prolonged, Alphabet&#39;s business growth will naturally be more muted and valuation multiples will compress across the board in the near term. In such a scenario, Google can create value for its shareholders by engaging in value-accretive share buybacks in an opportunistic manner as and when there is a substantial correction in its shares.</p><h2>Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?</h2><p>Google stock is a good long-term investment. In the preceding section, I touched on how Alphabet&#39;s recent metrics send positive signals about its long-term growth outlook. In this section, I will highlight another three key points that investors should consider in evaluating the company&#39;s growth prospects in the future.</p><p>One key point is that Alphabet&#39;s long-term revenue growth might exceed market expectations, with Google Cloud being a major driver. As highlighted in the company&#39;s September 2022 investor presentation, Google Cloud&#39;s quarterly revenue has tripled from $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion in just two years between Q2 2019 and Q2 2021, but this business has yet to reach its full growth potential.</p><p>Alphabet stressed at the <i>Goldman Sachs</i> (GS) Communacopia + Technology Conferenceon September 13, 2022 that &#34;new markets (in cloud) are opening, driven by growth in data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity and others.&#34; The company&#39;s bullish view about the cloud market and Google Cloud is reflected in IDC&#39;s forecast (as cited in Alphabet&#39;s September presentation) that public cloud services spending will almost double from $505 million in 2022 to $1.06 trillion by 2026.</p><p>Another key point is that Alphabet has significant room for operating profit margin expansion over time.</p><p>Based on the sell-side&#39;s consensus financial projections sourced from<i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>, the analysts are predicting that Google&#39;s EBITDA margin will expand from 39.7% in fiscal 2022 to as high as 41.9% in fiscal 2026. If Wall Street is right, Alphabet&#39;s FY 2026 EBITDA margin will mark a new 15-year peak for the company.</p><p>YouTube Ads and many of Alphabet&#39;s businesses grouped under the Other Bets segments are sub-scale, which explain why they either boast low profit margins or are unprofitable. As these businesses expand their respective revenue bases in time to come, it is a matter of &#34;when&#34; rather than &#34;if&#34; that positive operating leverage kicks in and translates into improved profitability.</p><p>The final point is about capital allocation.</p><p>It is amazing that Alphabet has a strong financial position now, even though it just executed on the largest quarterly share buyback in the company&#39;s history in Q2 2022. As per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ&#39;s</i> financial data, Google has an estimated $125 billion in cash and short term investments on its books as of June 30, 2022. Considering the free cash flow generative nature of the company&#39;s business, Alphabet&#39;s cash pile is very likely to continue growing in the years ahead.</p><p>Many companies fret about the inability to generate positive cash flow, a weak balance sheet, and the lack of excess capital needed to support future growth or reward shareholders with capital return. This isn&#39;t Google&#39;s problem. Assuming that capital market conditions become more challenging going forward due to a weak economy and a bear market, Alphabet&#39;s ability to fund its future long-term investments with internally generated cash flow will become even more important. Moreover, Alphabet is among a minority of companies that has the financial strength to support both capital investments and capital return.

(NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), which investors also refer to as Google, continues to warrant a Buy investment rating in my opinion. In my previous July 7, 2022 update for Alphabet, I indicated that Google is \"aBuy during the dip\" in the short term.My attention turns to Alphabet's appeal as a long-term investment in the current article. Google's recent uninspiring share price performance and a decrease in the average sell-side analyst rating for the stock might have come as a disappointment for some investors. But there are multiple signs and indicators, as detailed in this article, which suggest that Alphabet's business and financial outlook in the long run is still excellent.I think there are a number of growth drivers and value creation levers that will drive Google's stock price up over time. Therefore, I keep my Buy rating on Alphabet unchanged, based on the belief that investors in Google with a long-term horizon will eventually be rewarded for their patience.Has Google Stock Performed Well?Google stock hasn't performed well in recent times.Alphabet's stock price declined by-29% and -26% for the 2022 year-to-date and the one-year time periods, respectively. In comparison, the S&P 500 was down by -19% and -13% for this year thus far and the last year, respectively. In other words, Alphabet's shares have underperformed the broader market recently.However, investors who have bought into the company's shares earlier are still sitting on huge gains.In the past three years, Alphabet's shares rose by +66%, which was more than double the +30% increase for the S&P 500 in the same period. Similarly, Google's share price went up by +118% in the last five years as compared to a relatively more modest +56% rise for the S&P 500 during this period.The above-mentioned numbers illustrate the importance of having a reasonably long term investment horizon when considering a potential investment in Alphabet or any other stock for that matter.What Are Analyst Ratings On Alphabet Stock?Wall Street continues to be very bullish on Alphabet's stock, as evidenced by the fact that 48 of the 51 sell-side analysts covering the company's shares have assigned either a Buy or Strong Buy rating to Google.But it is the change in analyst ratings over time that really matters (instead of the absolute rating), as this is a key indicator of investor sentiment.Analyst Ratings History For Alphabet In The Past Six MonthsSeeking AlphaThe Sell Side's Recommendations For Google Stock In The Last Six MonthsSeeking AlphaAs per the charts presented above, the average analyst rating (5 for Strong Buy, 3 for Hold, 1 for Strong Sell) for Google has gone down from 4.73 as of end-April 2022 to 4.61 now.

Let&#39;s find out a bit more about these investment options.</p><h2>1. Amazon: An unparalleled e-commerce company</h2><p>E-commerce giant Amazon became a go-to shopping spot for millions of people around the globe as the pandemic got underway. The pandemic continues and so does Amazon&#39;s popularity, although growth is slowing down as its latest results get compared to 2020&#39;s stellar comps and supply chain issues continue to affect bottom lines.</p><p>A bear market has multiple definitions, but it&#39;s generally defined as a decline of at least 20% in the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> from recent highs. When the broader market tanks, you want to keep your most basic investing principles in mind, such as focusing on the long term and holding high-quality companies. That&#39;s where Amazon comes in. Amazon is a heavyweight that will continue to grow for many years in various economic environments, and it&#39;s a company that investors don&#39;t have to worry about going under.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s sales increased 15% year over year in the third quarter, and management is forecasting growth of between 4% and 12% in the fourth quarter. Profitability was pressured as the company focused on long-term priorities, which for now means delivering an exceptional customer experience even though it means higher shipping costs, increased wages, and other moves that are straining the bottom line. Its cloud component, Amazon Web Services, is still posting phenomenal growth, accelerating to a 39% sales increase year over year in the third quarter, and it remains profitable.</p><p>CEO Andy Jassy said, &#34;It&#39;ll be expensive for us in the short term, but it&#39;s the right prioritization for our customers and partners.&#34; That commitment is what keeps customers loyal and generates more business.</p><p>If you&#39;re worried about a bear market, you can be more confident holding on to Amazon stock, which trades at 56 times trailing-12-month earnings (a bargain based on Amazon&#39;s average performance over the past decade).</p><h2>2. Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF: Don&#39;t try to beat the market, match it</h2><p>It&#39;s not easy to beat the market. Over the past five years, roughly 73% of mutual funds have underperformed the returns of the S&amp;P 500. For a lot of people, simply placing their money into a passive fund like the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (exchange-traded fund) which mirrors the benchmark index will get them the highest return.</p><p>This Vanguard ETF is up 17% annualized over the past five years (well above the S&amp;P 500&#39;s lifetime average return of 10.5%). That&#39;s an attractive rate, and it comes with less risk and fewer headaches than aiming to time or beat the market by picking individual stocks that ping pong back and forth. Buffett often recommends investing in the S&amp;P 500.</p><p>Granted, if we enter a bear market, it means this ETF will be down. But it&#39;s a relatively safe place to keep your money as the index invariably returns to a growth trajectory and recovers its losses over time.</p><h2>3. STORE Capital: For those focused on dividends</h2><p>One strategy to maintain market gains in a bear market is to invest in dividend-yielding stocks. While some companies did suspend dividends during the pandemic, many dividend stocks were in strong enough financial shape to at least maintain their payout levels. In particular, investing in a strong real estate investment trust (REIT) can yield high dividends for shareholders, since the tax structure of these companies requires them to pay out 90% of their net income as dividends.</p><p>STORE Capital owns nearly 2,800 properties that it leases to single-tenant businesses, mostly restaurants and other service-based organizations. It operates a triple net lease arrangement, which means the tenant is responsible for most of the property maintenance. It&#39;s a fairly low-risk business model where STORE buys properties from companies that own their own stores, providing those companies with capital they might need for investment or debt reduction. These companies tend to sign long-term leases for the assets they just sold. As a result, STORE&#39;s average lease length is roughly 13.5 years. That&#39;s long enough to get the REIT through the ups and downs of a cyclical economy. That&#39;s a clear benefit to the landlord, but it tends to benefit the tenant as well. STORE management sees a huge market opportunity of 2 million properties and $3.9 trillion in market value.</p><p>The dividend generates a yield of 5% at the current stock price, and STORE has raised its dividend annually since it went public in 2014. Buffett bought a stake in STORE Capital in 2017 worth 9.8% of shares outstanding. You might want to consider adding shares to your portfolio as well, especially if we hit a bear market.</p></body></html>","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 No-Brainer Buffett Stocks to Buy if 2022 Brings a Bear Market</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 No-Brainer Buffett Stocks to Buy if 2022 Brings a Bear Market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-28 11:44 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/27/buffett-stocks-to-buy-2022-bear-market/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key PointsAmazon has prioritized serving its customers under any circumstances.An S&P 500 index fund is a secure investment in the market.Store Capital is a high-yielding REIT with massive ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/27/buffett-stocks-to-buy-2022-bear-market/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4503":"景林资产持仓","BK4122":"互联网与直销零售","BK4551":"寇图资本持仓","BK4561":"索罗斯持仓","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","BK4504":"桥水持仓","BRK.A":"伯克希尔","AMZN":"亚马逊","SPY":"标普500ETF","BK4548":"巴美列捷福持仓","BK4176":"多领域控股","VOO":"Vanguard标普500ETF","BK4554":"元宇宙及AR概念","BK4532":"文艺复兴科技持仓",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index","BK4160":"多样化房地产投资信托v","BK4507":"流媒体概念","BK4534":"瑞士信贷持仓","BK4533":"AQR资本管理(全球第二大对冲基金)","BK4566":"资本集团","BK4524":"宅经济概念","STOR":"STORE Capital","BK4535":"淡马锡持仓","REIT":"ALPS Active REIT ETF","BK4559":"巴菲特持仓","BK4538":"云计算","BK4527":"明星科技股","BK4550":"红杉资本持仓"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/27/buffett-stocks-to-buy-2022-bear-market/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2206812015","content_text":"Key PointsAmazon has prioritized serving its customers under any circumstances.An S&P 500 index fund is a secure investment in the market.Store Capital is a high-yielding REIT with massive opportunities.As we near the end of the first month of a new year, the stock market is experiencing a lot of turmoil. 2021 was a huge recovery year after the 2020 crash, and the market ended on a high, with the S&P 500 up 26.9%.
