On its platform, buyers can find a seemingly endless supply of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-of-a-kind items. Demand for those offerings accelerated last year and shows no signs of slowing.</p>\n<p>Etsy enjoys a scale no other handmade goods seller can match. It offers 92 million unique products for sale with 4.7 million active sellers and more than 90 million active buyers. Gross merchandise sales -- i.e., the total value of products sold on Etsy's platform -- grew 132% year over year in the first quarter.

The platform acts as a visual discovery engine, encouraging users to find and pursue their passions. It's a digital repository where users find and \"pin\" things they are interested in from across the internet, motivating and inspiring them to take up hobbies, travel, new recipes, and more.</p>\n<p>Spreading positivity has been lucrative. Revenue grew 78% year over year in the first quarter, and Pinterest cut its net loss by 85%. Its count of global monthly active users grew 30%, while its average revenue per user (ARPU) was up 50%.</p>\n<p>It's the company's international results that should have investors most excited: Foreign revenue and ARPU surged 170% and 91%, respectively. Pinterest is building its international business following the strategic plan that worked so well in the U.S. -- focus first on the fundamental infrastructure and build the user experience, then scale and monetize later. CFO Todd Morgenfeld said during the first quarter earnings call that the company is \"running the same playbook\" and expects this already successful template to pay worldwide dividends in time.</p>\n<p>Management also expects the good times to continue, guiding for revenue growth of 105% in the second quarter. This helps explain the stock's 170% gain over the past year and illustrates its potential for future growth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/83403155b75521c0964881771c6ad975\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series of processors. Image source: NVIDIA.</p>\n<h2>NVIDIA: So. Many. Tailwinds.</h2>\n<p>When it comes to graphics processing units (GPUs), no company holds a candle to <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">NVIDIA Corp</a></b> <b>.</b> It pioneered these processing chips that allow PCs and consoles to render lifelike images in video games, and it's the undisputed leader in the discrete desktop GPU space with an 81% share of the market as of the first quarter of 2021. As a result, NVIDIA's gaming segment sales grew 106% year over year in its fiscal 2022 first quarter. That alone could be reason enough to invest in the stock.</p>\n<p>The gaming market, however, might not be NVIDIA's biggest profit engine in the years to come. Its cutting-edge chips and accompanying software have become the industry standards in a number of accelerating technologies, including cloud computing, data centers, and artificial intelligence. NVIDIA's data center sales, which are being driven by all of those important secular trends, rose 79% in the latest period, and there's still a long runway for growth ahead.</p>\n<p>Finally, the company has partnerships with a growing number of automakers that are working to develop autonomous driving systems. Once they achieve a level of reliability sufficient to allow such cars to be sold, NVIDIA will no doubt have a seat at the table as its processors will likely underpin the new technology. While its sales for autonomous driving systems currently amount to just a minuscule part of the top line, that could change if production of self-driving cars shifts into high gear.</p>\n<p>The company's stellar execution and the growth of its end markets have helped propel NVIDIA stock upward by more than 80% over the past year alone -- leading to the company's decision to perform its highly-anticipated stock split.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3def3a6d37ebf1b5581e72f70f0874e2\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"499\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Data by YCharts.</p>\n<h2>The fine print</h2>\n<p>It's important to remember that there's no such thing as a free lunch in investing. While each of these companies has executed to a high degree over the past several years, there's no guarantee that they will continue to do so. Additionally, even a near-perfect performance can sometimes result in a falling stock price -- at least in the short term -- particularly if external factors like a market correction come into play.</p>\n<p>There's a trade-off that comes from investing in potential multibaggers. Each of these companies is a high-risk, high-reward option, which comes with an equally high price tag, like so many other high-growth stocks. NVIDIA, Pinterest, and Etsy are selling at 19 times, 17 times, and 11 times forward sales, respectively, when a reasonable price-to-sales ratio is generally between one and two.</p>\n<p>That said, based on these businesses' current trajectories, their stocks remain solid bets to beat the market over the next three to five years -- with the potential to double along the way.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks That Could Double Your Money and Sooner Than You Might Think</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 Stocks That Could Double Your Money and Sooner Than You Might Think\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-22 22:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/22/3-stocks-double-your-money-sooner-than-you-think/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Well-read investors often find that they can draw parallels between other branches of knowledge that help inform their financial decisions.

It's a digital repository where users find and \"pin\" things they are interested in from across the internet, motivating and inspiring them to take up hobbies, travel, new recipes, and more.\nSpreading positivity has been lucrative. Revenue grew 78% year over year in the first quarter, and Pinterest cut its net loss by 85%. Its count of global monthly active users grew 30%, while its average revenue per user (ARPU) was up 50%.\nIt's the company's international results that should have investors most excited: Foreign revenue and ARPU surged 170% and 91%, respectively. Pinterest is building its international business following the strategic plan that worked so well in the U.S. -- focus first on the fundamental infrastructure and build the user experience, then scale and monetize later. CFO Todd Morgenfeld said during the first quarter earnings call that the company is \"running the same playbook\" and expects this already successful template to pay worldwide dividends in time.\nManagement also expects the good times to continue, guiding for revenue growth of 105% in the second quarter. This helps explain the stock's 170% gain over the past year and illustrates its potential for future growth.\n\nNVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series of processors. Image source: NVIDIA.\nNVIDIA: So. Many. Tailwinds.\nWhen it comes to graphics processing units (GPUs), no company holds a candle to NVIDIA Corp . It pioneered these processing chips that allow PCs and consoles to render lifelike images in video games, and it's the undisputed leader in the discrete desktop GPU space with an 81% share of the market as of the first quarter of 2021. As a result, NVIDIA's gaming segment sales grew 106% year over year in its fiscal 2022 first quarter. That alone could be reason enough to invest in the stock.\nThe gaming market, however, might not be NVIDIA's biggest profit engine in the years to come. Its cutting-edge chips and accompanying software have become the industry standards in a number of accelerating technologies, including cloud computing, data centers, and artificial intelligence. NVIDIA's data center sales, which are being driven by all of those important secular trends, rose 79% in the latest period, and there's still a long runway for growth ahead.\nFinally, the company has partnerships with a growing number of automakers that are working to develop autonomous driving systems. Once they achieve a level of reliability sufficient to allow such cars to be sold, NVIDIA will no doubt have a seat at the table as its processors will likely underpin the new technology. While its sales for autonomous driving systems currently amount to just a minuscule part of the top line, that could change if production of self-driving cars shifts into high gear.\nThe company's stellar execution and the growth of its end markets have helped propel NVIDIA stock upward by more than 80% over the past year alone -- leading to the company's decision to perform its highly-anticipated stock split.\n\nData by YCharts.\nThe fine print\nIt's important to remember that there's no such thing as a free lunch in investing. While each of these companies has executed to a high degree over the past several years, there's no guarantee that they will continue to do so. Additionally, even a near-perfect performance can sometimes result in a falling stock price -- at least in the short term -- particularly if external factors like a market correction come into play.\nThere's a trade-off that comes from investing in potential multibaggers. Each of these companies is a high-risk, high-reward option, which comes with an equally high price tag, like so many other high-growth stocks. NVIDIA, Pinterest, and Etsy are selling at 19 times, 17 times, and 11 times forward sales, respectively, when a reasonable price-to-sales ratio is generally between one and two.\nThat said, based on these businesses' current trajectories, their stocks remain solid bets to beat the market over the next three to five years -- with the potential to double along the way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":377,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172437399,"gmtCreate":1626971250511,"gmtModify":1703481729965,"author":{"id":"3585126496093611","authorId":"3585126496093611","name":"matrixguy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec0cef7c3810092165a5a0ea09e5275f","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585126496093611","authorIdStr":"3585126496093611"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172437399","repostId":"1107511555","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1107511555","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1626962515,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1107511555?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-22 22:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 87-point fall","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1107511555","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"(July 22) Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 50-point fall.","content":"<p>(July 22)&nbsp;Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 50-point fall.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45687ad101eb319883e2e71427769c0a\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"303\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e29cafe561682cb5d3615cb470d0792e\" tg-width=\"1866\" tg-height=\"894\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The company continues to demonstrate both stellar topline and bottomline growth while also improving its cash flow margins. The management’s ability to monetize its merchants through Shopify Payments and its suite of merchant solutions is a masterstroke that shows the capability of the management to be able to continue executing its high growth strategies with aplomb moving forward. Despite its relatively high valuation levels, it also remains a very strong stock from the technical point of view, so bullish investors may consider adding it at the next dip.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify: Defying Amazon’s Valuation Logic</b></p>\n<p>Shopify’s critics have often questioned the logic of investing in Shopify when you can invest in Amazon (AMZN) for a fraction of its expensive valuation.

It should also be noted that I have modelled both companies to continue their blockbuster performances: SE (5Y CAGR of 44.3%, 10Y CAGR of 26.7%), SHOP (5Y CAGR 41.4%, 10Y CAGR 32.3%).</p>\n<p>Therefore, for investors who would like a share of that rapid international growth in the Southeast Asian market coupled with a leading cash flow generating gaming segment, you should look no further than SE.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4df93eabc2cf51bdca0056071317076a\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Market share of e-commerce software platforms in the U.S. in 2021 Data Source: Builtwith</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2485bbbc639e9512e106f6dd1ab48ff\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Unique visitors to the most popular online retailers in SEA in 2020.

Shopify faces strong competition within its software platform segment, without accounting for Amazon’s prowess as well. Even though I expect Shopify to continue its rapid expansion, I believe that it faces more intensive competitive threats than Sea Limited as the pie in the U.S. is expected to grow slower over time. SHOP needs almost perfect execution every quarter to justify its lofty valuations.</p>\n<p>As compared to SE, it is clearly the dominant online marketplace now in Southeast Asia by a fairly large margin, and its prowess and scale is also growing, further stretching the distance from its competitors. Coupled with its ShopeePay payments platform, it also creates a flywheel effect similar to what Shopify Payments does for Shopify. The leadership in Southeast Asia is surely Sea’s to lose, and there’s so much potential growth that the company can capture in this region as the undisputed leader. When we consider Shopify’s valuations against SE’s it looks quite clear SE’s valuation looks more attractive now, with stronger market leadership and arguably higher potential growth.</p>\n<p><b>Price Action and Technical Analysis</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a9782afa86bafbd3d2e54e41e0c1d13\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"794\"><span>Source: TradingView</span></p>\n<p>SHOP’s price action has been stuck somewhat in a large consolidation phase since Oct 20, with the bull trap set in Feb 21 at around the $1500 level.

However, as the growth of U.S. retail e-commerce revenue is expected to slow down over time (from 8.7% YoY in 2021 to 2.7% YoY by 2025), companies like Shopify who rely on high growth to justify its valuation must either take market share away from its key competitors or look for growth outside of the United States.\nValue of Southeast Asia e-commerce market. Data Source: Google, Temasek Holdings, Bain & Company\nFor example, if we look across to Southeast Asia, and compare the growth rates of the Southeast Asian market (expected 5Y CAGR for 2020 to 2025: 22.6%) and the United States market (expected 5Y CAGR for 2020 to 2025: 3.73%), it’s easy to see which market will be the key driver of e-commerce growth in the near future. There’s no doubt that the U.S. market remains an extremely important market given its size, however much of the future growth will likely come from overseas markets. Therefore, it’s important that Shopify continues to drive growth across other geographical markets.\nLet's Bring in Sea Limited\nSea Limited & SHOP EBIT Margin, Gross Margin. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nIn order to look at Shopify’s growth opportunities in the Southeast Asian market, I thought it would be important to first consider the most important e-commerce player in that region: Sea Limited (SE), which I had previouslycovered in detail in an article hererecently.\nIt’s easy to see how SHOP’s more profitable business model on relying on subscriptions and merchant solutions drove a much higher EBIT margin as compared to SE’s online marketplace platform: Shopee, which is currently being supported by the company’s profitable Garena gaming segment.\nDespite that, Sea has still been able to drive significant revenue growth and operating efficiencies such that its EBIT margins have seen remarkable improvement.\nEBIT Margin Forecast. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nWhen we modelled SE and SHOP’s EBIT margins moving forward, we could see how both companies’ improving cost efficiencies, notably from the reduction in SG&A margins, would help both companies to continue improving their operating margins over time.\nSE and SHOP Projected Unlevered FCF Margin. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nThis is where their SE is expected to pull ahead. In modelling their FCF, SE is expected to generate so much FCF from its revenue growth and operating profits that the company looks increasingly like a massive cash flow machine moving forward. It’s not as if SHOP looks sloppy, but when compared to SE’s FCF margins, they certainly don’t look as impressive though.\nSE and SHOP Projected Revenue CAGR (5Y, 10Y), 10Y Projected Av. Unlevered FCF Margin, EV / FY+1 Rev. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nMore importantly, when we bring their current valuation levels into the picture (EV / FY+1 Rev), we could see that SE’s current valuation (16.3x) looks so much more attractive than SHOP’s (32.7x), while being able to convert that rapid revenue growth into higher FCF margins. It should also be noted that I have modelled both companies to continue their blockbuster performances: SE (5Y CAGR of 44.3%, 10Y CAGR of 26.7%), SHOP (5Y CAGR 41.4%, 10Y CAGR 32.3%).\nTherefore, for investors who would like a share of that rapid international growth in the Southeast Asian market coupled with a leading cash flow generating gaming segment, you should look no further than SE.\nMarket share of e-commerce software platforms in the U.S. in 2021 Data Source: Builtwith\nUnique visitors to the most popular online retailers in SEA in 2020. Data Source: iPrice Group, SimilarWeb, Marketing in Asia\nWhen we consider the competitive economics in the U.S. against Southeast Asia, it becomes very clear. Shopify faces strong competition within its software platform segment, without accounting for Amazon’s prowess as well. Even though I expect Shopify to continue its rapid expansion, I believe that it faces more intensive competitive threats than Sea Limited as the pie in the U.S. is expected to grow slower over time. SHOP needs almost perfect execution every quarter to justify its lofty valuations.\nAs compared to SE, it is clearly the dominant online marketplace now in Southeast Asia by a fairly large margin, and its prowess and scale is also growing, further stretching the distance from its competitors. Coupled with its ShopeePay payments platform, it also creates a flywheel effect similar to what Shopify Payments does for Shopify. The leadership in Southeast Asia is surely Sea’s to lose, and there’s so much potential growth that the company can capture in this region as the undisputed leader. When we consider Shopify’s valuations against SE’s it looks quite clear SE’s valuation looks more attractive now, with stronger market leadership and arguably higher potential growth.\nPrice Action and Technical Analysis\nSource: TradingView\nSHOP’s price action has been stuck somewhat in a large consolidation phase since Oct 20, with the bull trap set in Feb 21 at around the $1500 level. Support was found at around the $1000 level, with further support at around the $835 level for investors who wish to add further into SHOP. It’s important to note that despite SHOP’s lofty valuations, its long term uptrend bias has never been threatened, and I expect this to carry on moving forward.\nWrapping it all up\nAlthough Shopify is one of the most expensive high quality e-commerce stocks right now, it’s also expected to generate rapid growth ahead with its ever improving ecosystem for its merchants. Coupled with one of the strongest long term uptrend biases that I have seen for stocks (It didn’t lose its key support levels even during the COVID-19 bear market), I believe this puts SHOP in a strong position as a stock to add aggressively at the next big dip.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":432,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112373301,"gmtCreate":1622853528203,"gmtModify":1704192383909,"author":{"id":"3585126496093611","authorId":"3585126496093611","name":"matrixguy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec0cef7c3810092165a5a0ea09e5275f","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585126496093611","authorIdStr":"3585126496093611"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/112373301","repostId":"1123977724","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123977724","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622819745,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123977724?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-04 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cowen downgrades Workhorse, calls latest move a ‘meme stock spike’","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123977724","media":"CNBC","summary":"Workhorse Group’s 57% jump this week is due to a “meme stock spike” and nothing else, Cowen said Fri","content":"<div>\n<p>Workhorse Group’s 57% jump this week is due to a “meme stock spike” and nothing else, Cowen said Friday in a note to clients while downgrading the stock.\nThe firm cut its rating from outperform to ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/04/cowen-downgrades-workhorse-calls-latest-move-a-meme-stock-spike.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

If GameStop was the poster child of the Reddit-fueled rally earlier this year, this time around it’s AMC. The movie theater chain’s stock dipped 18% on Thursday, but it’s still up 96% for the week after nearly doubling during Wednesday’s trading session.\nOne indication that Workhorse is part of this group is its short interest. According to data from FactSet, 41% of its float is sold short. This means a very larger portion of investors — typically institutional investors — are betting the stock will decline. Traders targeting heavily-shorted stocks has been a hallmark of the meme-stock rally. For AMC and Bed Bath & Beyond 21% and 31% of shares are sold short, according to FactSet. If these heavily shorted stocks rally, it can cause a so-called short squeeze where those betting against the stock are forced to buy it to cut their losses.\nWhen downgrading Workhorse, Cowen kept all of its estimates the same, including its $13 target, which is 12% below where shares closed on Thursday.\nWorkhorse shares fell 9% during on Friday. The stock has shed 32% this year even with the recent spikes.\nLooking ahead, the firm said Workhorse has between nine and 12 months before competitive dynamics heat up. Ford and GM have outlined long-term electric vehicle development plans, while a host of start-ups are also emerging in the EV space.\n“Competition is increasing with several well capitalized companies entering in to the electric van market for last mile delivery applications,” analysts led by Jeffrey Osborne said. “We look to the balance of FY21 to see management begin to execute on its production targets in earnest and leverage its first to market advantage.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":354,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112347368,"gmtCreate":1622853407454,"gmtModify":1704192379315,"author":{"id":"3585126496093611","authorId":"3585126496093611","name":"matrixguy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec0cef7c3810092165a5a0ea09e5275f","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585126496093611","authorIdStr":"3585126496093611"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice!","listText":"nice!","text":"nice!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/112347368","repostId":"2140710824","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":334,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112345283,"gmtCreate":1622853356242,"gmtModify":1704192377020,"author":{"id":"3585126496093611","authorId":"3585126496093611","name":"matrixguy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec0cef7c3810092165a5a0ea09e5275f","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585126496093611","authorIdStr":"3585126496093611"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"cloud is the next big thing","listText":"cloud is the next big thing","text":"cloud is the next big thing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/112345283","repostId":"1104017640","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1104017640","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622815403,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1104017640?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-04 22:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Google is moving parts of YouTube to its cloud service","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1104017640","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nParts of YouTube are moving to the Google Cloud Platform, said Thomas Kurian, the leader","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nParts of YouTube are moving to the Google Cloud Platform, said Thomas Kurian, the leader of Google’s cloud division.\nThe popular video app has run on Google’s own infrastructure separate ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/04/google-is-moving-parts-of-youtube-to-its-cloud-service.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The Google Cloud Platform offering has coexisted separately, and Google has not undertaken the effort to migrate its eponymous search engine, for example, to the Google public cloud.\nBut the company’s perspective on the value of having its top products use the cloud just like third-party applications has shifted.\n“Part of evolving the cloud is having our own services use it more and more, and they are,” Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, told CNBC in an interview last month. “Parts of YouTube are moving to Google Cloud.”\nThe change will bring Google more in line with its main U.S. competitors,Amazon and Microsoft.\nIn 2019 Amazon said its consumer business had turned off its final Oracle database in favor of databases from Amazon Web Services, after years of work. Microsoft has sought to make its LinkedIn social network and Minecraft video game more dependent on the company’s own Azure public cloud.\nThe Google Workspace bundle of productivity apps formerly known as G Suite, the Waze navigation app and the DeepMind artificial-intelligence research group all draw on Google cloud infrastructure, Kurian said.\nYouTube is different. It’s the second largest website on the internet, according to Amazon’s Alexa analytics tool, with over 2 billion users each month. Google bought the property in 2006 for $1.65 billion.\nGoogle’s decision to consume public-cloud resources for YouTube and other consumer services might make life easier for the company’s salespeople, who are constantly trying to persuade large companies to try building on the Google cloud or running existing applications on the Google Cloud Platform. Salespeople will be able to say the Google cloud is good enough for the company’s business-critical workloads.\nThat, over time, could boost Google’s cloud revenue. In the first quarter nearly 58% of Google parent Alphabet’s revenue came from the Google Search and Other category, which includes advertising displayed on Google’s web search engine, Gmail, Google Maps and other online destinations it operates. Google’s cloud business, which includes the public cloud and Google Workspace, delivered 7% of revenue but grew faster.\nThe cloud unit has narrowed Alphabet’s operating margin with billions in annual losses for at least three years, but the largest cloud infrastructure provider by revenue, Amazon Web Services, has become a key source of profit.\nGoogle held 5% of the cloud infrastructure market in 2019, while Amazon had 45% and Microsoft had about 18%, according to technology industry research company Gartner.

One such lesson I've always found useful comes from the realm of physics -- Newton's first law of motion: An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.</p>\n<p>That principle can be applied fairly well to the strategy of investing in successful companies. Put another way, winners have a tendency to keep winning.</p>\n<p>When a stock is red hot, there are usually good reasons why, so focusing on companies that are firing on all cylinders and have already delivered significant gains to shareholders is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> way to increase the likelihood that the stocks you buy will reward you. With that in mind, here are three stocks whose prices have doubled over the past couple of years and still appear well-positioned to double again in the near future.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d35a202acdf4af1e6795846abbc4802\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ETSY\">Etsy</a>: Not just a COVID-19 play</h2>\n<p>Prior to the pandemic, <b>Etsy</b> (NASDAQ:ETSY) had already established itself as the premier online purveyor of custom and handmade products, as well as craft supplies and vintage goods. On its platform, buyers can find a seemingly endless supply of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-of-a-kind items. Demand for those offerings accelerated last year and shows no signs of slowing.</p>\n<p>Etsy enjoys a scale no other handmade goods seller can match. It offers 92 million unique products for sale with 4.7 million active sellers and more than 90 million active buyers. Gross merchandise sales -- i.e., the total value of products sold on Etsy's platform -- grew 132% year over year in the first quarter. This helped drive revenue up 142%, while its profits surged more than 11-fold.</p>\n<p>The company is focused on maintaining and even extending its gains from 2020. Management noted during the first-quarter earnings call that it was \"laser focused on driving frequency\" and identifying \"buyer triggers.\" As one example, management highlighted its update tab, \"It's very encouraging to see that now 13% of app visits include a visit to the updates tab, and 27% of those visits have buyers clicking on one or more of the listings that we include in updates.\" This helps illustrate the lengths Etsy is going to continue to engage shoppers and grow sales.</p>\n<p>The company has carved out a unique and lucrative niche for itself in the world of e-commerce, and the results for investors are telling: The stock quadrupled in 2020 and could double again from here.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e2d30ad255c7e6843e82747f7fd0160f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Pinterest.</p>\n<h2>Pinterest: A different kind of social media platform</h2>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PINS\">Pinterest, Inc.</a> </b>rose to prominence by bucking the negative stereotypes associated with social media and instead providing a dose of positivity. The platform acts as a visual discovery engine, encouraging users to find and pursue their passions. It's a digital repository where users find and \"pin\" things they are interested in from across the internet, motivating and inspiring them to take up hobbies, travel, new recipes, and more.</p>\n<p>Spreading positivity has been lucrative. Revenue grew 78% year over year in the first quarter, and Pinterest cut its net loss by 85%. Its count of global monthly active users grew 30%, while its average revenue per user (ARPU) was up 50%.</p>\n<p>It's the company's international results that should have investors most excited: Foreign revenue and ARPU surged 170% and 91%, respectively. Pinterest is building its international business following the strategic plan that worked so well in the U.S. -- focus first on the fundamental infrastructure and build the user experience, then scale and monetize later. CFO Todd Morgenfeld said during the first quarter earnings call that the company is \"running the same playbook\" and expects this already successful template to pay worldwide dividends in time.</p>\n<p>Management also expects the good times to continue, guiding for revenue growth of 105% in the second quarter. This helps explain the stock's 170% gain over the past year and illustrates its potential for future growth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/83403155b75521c0964881771c6ad975\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series of processors. Image source: NVIDIA.</p>\n<h2>NVIDIA: So. Many. Tailwinds.</h2>\n<p>When it comes to graphics processing units (GPUs), no company holds a candle to <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">NVIDIA Corp</a></b> <b>.</b> It pioneered these processing chips that allow PCs and consoles to render lifelike images in video games, and it's the undisputed leader in the discrete desktop GPU space with an 81% share of the market as of the first quarter of 2021. As a result, NVIDIA's gaming segment sales grew 106% year over year in its fiscal 2022 first quarter. That alone could be reason enough to invest in the stock.</p>\n<p>The gaming market, however, might not be NVIDIA's biggest profit engine in the years to come. Its cutting-edge chips and accompanying software have become the industry standards in a number of accelerating technologies, including cloud computing, data centers, and artificial intelligence. NVIDIA's data center sales, which are being driven by all of those important secular trends, rose 79% in the latest period, and there's still a long runway for growth ahead.</p>\n<p>Finally, the company has partnerships with a growing number of automakers that are working to develop autonomous driving systems. Once they achieve a level of reliability sufficient to allow such cars to be sold, NVIDIA will no doubt have a seat at the table as its processors will likely underpin the new technology. While its sales for autonomous driving systems currently amount to just a minuscule part of the top line, that could change if production of self-driving cars shifts into high gear.</p>\n<p>The company's stellar execution and the growth of its end markets have helped propel NVIDIA stock upward by more than 80% over the past year alone -- leading to the company's decision to perform its highly-anticipated stock split.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3def3a6d37ebf1b5581e72f70f0874e2\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"499\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Data by YCharts.</p>\n<h2>The fine print</h2>\n<p>It's important to remember that there's no such thing as a free lunch in investing. While each of these companies has executed to a high degree over the past several years, there's no guarantee that they will continue to do so.

One such lesson I've always found useful comes from the realm of physics -- Newton's first law of motion: An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.\nThat principle can be applied fairly well to the strategy of investing in successful companies. Put another way, winners have a tendency to keep winning.\nWhen a stock is red hot, there are usually good reasons why, so focusing on companies that are firing on all cylinders and have already delivered significant gains to shareholders is one way to increase the likelihood that the stocks you buy will reward you. With that in mind, here are three stocks whose prices have doubled over the past couple of years and still appear well-positioned to double again in the near future.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nEtsy: Not just a COVID-19 play\nPrior to the pandemic, Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY) had already established itself as the premier online purveyor of custom and handmade products, as well as craft supplies and vintage goods. On its platform, buyers can find a seemingly endless supply of one-of-a-kind items. Demand for those offerings accelerated last year and shows no signs of slowing.\nEtsy enjoys a scale no other handmade goods seller can match. It offers 92 million unique products for sale with 4.7 million active sellers and more than 90 million active buyers. Gross merchandise sales -- i.e., the total value of products sold on Etsy's platform -- grew 132% year over year in the first quarter. This helped drive revenue up 142%, while its profits surged more than 11-fold.\nThe company is focused on maintaining and even extending its gains from 2020. Management noted during the first-quarter earnings call that it was \"laser focused on driving frequency\" and identifying \"buyer triggers.\" As one example, management highlighted its update tab, \"It's very encouraging to see that now 13% of app visits include a visit to the updates tab, and 27% of those visits have buyers clicking on one or more of the listings that we include in updates.\" This helps illustrate the lengths Etsy is going to continue to engage shoppers and grow sales.\nThe company has carved out a unique and lucrative niche for itself in the world of e-commerce, and the results for investors are telling: The stock quadrupled in 2020 and could double again from here.\n\nImage source: Pinterest.\nPinterest: A different kind of social media platform\nPinterest, Inc. rose to prominence by bucking the negative stereotypes associated with social media and instead providing a dose of positivity. The platform acts as a visual discovery engine, encouraging users to find and pursue their passions. It's a digital repository where users find and \"pin\" things they are interested in from across the internet, motivating and inspiring them to take up hobbies, travel, new recipes, and more.\nSpreading positivity has been lucrative. Revenue grew 78% year over year in the first quarter, and Pinterest cut its net loss by 85%. Its count of global monthly active users grew 30%, while its average revenue per user (ARPU) was up 50%.\nIt's the company's international results that should have investors most excited: Foreign revenue and ARPU surged 170% and 91%, respectively. Pinterest is building its international business following the strategic plan that worked so well in the U.S. -- focus first on the fundamental infrastructure and build the user experience, then scale and monetize later. CFO Todd Morgenfeld said during the first quarter earnings call that the company is \"running the same playbook\" and expects this already successful template to pay worldwide dividends in time.\nManagement also expects the good times to continue, guiding for revenue growth of 105% in the second quarter. This helps explain the stock's 170% gain over the past year and illustrates its potential for future growth.\n\nNVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series of processors. Image source: NVIDIA.\nNVIDIA: So. Many. Tailwinds.\nWhen it comes to graphics processing units (GPUs), no company holds a candle to NVIDIA Corp . It pioneered these processing chips that allow PCs and consoles to render lifelike images in video games, and it's the undisputed leader in the discrete desktop GPU space with an 81% share of the market as of the first quarter of 2021. As a result, NVIDIA's gaming segment sales grew 106% year over year in its fiscal 2022 first quarter. That alone could be reason enough to invest in the stock.\nThe gaming market, however, might not be NVIDIA's biggest profit engine in the years to come. Its cutting-edge chips and accompanying software have become the industry standards in a number of accelerating technologies, including cloud computing, data centers, and artificial intelligence. NVIDIA's data center sales, which are being driven by all of those important secular trends, rose 79% in the latest period, and there's still a long runway for growth ahead.\nFinally, the company has partnerships with a growing number of automakers that are working to develop autonomous driving systems. Once they achieve a level of reliability sufficient to allow such cars to be sold, NVIDIA will no doubt have a seat at the table as its processors will likely underpin the new technology. While its sales for autonomous driving systems currently amount to just a minuscule part of the top line, that could change if production of self-driving cars shifts into high gear.\nThe company's stellar execution and the growth of its end markets have helped propel NVIDIA stock upward by more than 80% over the past year alone -- leading to the company's decision to perform its highly-anticipated stock split.\n\nData by YCharts.\nThe fine print\nIt's important to remember that there's no such thing as a free lunch in investing. While each of these companies has executed to a high degree over the past several years, there's no guarantee that they will continue to do so. Additionally, even a near-perfect performance can sometimes result in a falling stock price -- at least in the short term -- particularly if external factors like a market correction come into play.\nThere's a trade-off that comes from investing in potential multibaggers. Each of these companies is a high-risk, high-reward option, which comes with an equally high price tag, like so many other high-growth stocks. NVIDIA, Pinterest, and Etsy are selling at 19 times, 17 times, and 11 times forward sales, respectively, when a reasonable price-to-sales ratio is generally between one and two.\nThat said, based on these businesses' current trajectories, their stocks remain solid bets to beat the market over the next three to five years -- with the potential to double along the way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":377,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172437399,"gmtCreate":1626971250511,"gmtModify":1703481729965,"author":{"id":"3585126496093611","authorId":"3585126496093611","name":"matrixguy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec0cef7c3810092165a5a0ea09e5275f","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585126496093611","authorIdStr":"3585126496093611"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172437399","repostId":"1107511555","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1107511555","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1626962515,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1107511555?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-22 22:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 87-point fall","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1107511555","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"(July 22) Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 50-point fall.","content":"<p>(July 22)&nbsp;Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 50-point fall.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45687ad101eb319883e2e71427769c0a\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"303\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e29cafe561682cb5d3615cb470d0792e\" tg-width=\"1866\" tg-height=\"894\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The company continues to demonstrate both stellar topline and bottomline growth while also improving its cash flow margins. The management’s ability to monetize its merchants through Shopify Payments and its suite of merchant solutions is a masterstroke that shows the capability of the management to be able to continue executing its high growth strategies with aplomb moving forward. Despite its relatively high valuation levels, it also remains a very strong stock from the technical point of view, so bullish investors may consider adding it at the next dip.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify: Defying Amazon’s Valuation Logic</b></p>\n<p>Shopify’s critics have often questioned the logic of investing in Shopify when you can invest in Amazon (AMZN) for a fraction of its expensive valuation. Yet, investors in SHOP continue to defy “common valuation logic” by pointing to Shopify’s incredible growth rates.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2dcffad535b32122075c2b0af38ff14\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"818\"><span>SHOP and AMZN LTM Revenue Growth Trend.

Moreover, SHOP’s revenue 3Y CAGR of 63.3% also easily bested AMZN’s 3Y CAGR of 29.5%.

The shift towards increasing the revenue base of merchant solutions has seen the company continuing to roll out multiple new merchant solutions initiatives and services to further monetize the company’s merchant base and improve the strength of its ecosystem, therefore enhancing its “stickiness” and retention over time.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e25591146598f17356e29c09b22ee48a\" tg-width=\"873\" tg-height=\"540\"><span>Shopify Subscription Solutions and Merchant Solutions YoY Growth.

It should also be noted that I have modelled both companies to continue their blockbuster performances: SE (5Y CAGR of 44.3%, 10Y CAGR of 26.7%), SHOP (5Y CAGR 41.4%, 10Y CAGR 32.3%).</p>\n<p>Therefore, for investors who would like a share of that rapid international growth in the Southeast Asian market coupled with a leading cash flow generating gaming segment, you should look no further than SE.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4df93eabc2cf51bdca0056071317076a\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Market share of e-commerce software platforms in the U.S. in 2021 Data Source: Builtwith</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2485bbbc639e9512e106f6dd1ab48ff\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Unique visitors to the most popular online retailers in SEA in 2020.

Shopify faces strong competition within its software platform segment, without accounting for Amazon’s prowess as well. Even though I expect Shopify to continue its rapid expansion, I believe that it faces more intensive competitive threats than Sea Limited as the pie in the U.S. is expected to grow slower over time. SHOP needs almost perfect execution every quarter to justify its lofty valuations.</p>\n<p>As compared to SE, it is clearly the dominant online marketplace now in Southeast Asia by a fairly large margin, and its prowess and scale is also growing, further stretching the distance from its competitors. Coupled with its ShopeePay payments platform, it also creates a flywheel effect similar to what Shopify Payments does for Shopify. The leadership in Southeast Asia is surely Sea’s to lose, and there’s so much potential growth that the company can capture in this region as the undisputed leader. When we consider Shopify’s valuations against SE’s it looks quite clear SE’s valuation looks more attractive now, with stronger market leadership and arguably higher potential growth.</p>\n<p><b>Price Action and Technical Analysis</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a9782afa86bafbd3d2e54e41e0c1d13\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"794\"><span>Source: TradingView</span></p>\n<p>SHOP’s price action has been stuck somewhat in a large consolidation phase since Oct 20, with the bull trap set in Feb 21 at around the $1500 level.

The company continues to demonstrate both stellar topline and bottomline growth while also improving its cash flow margins. The management’s ability to monetize its merchants through Shopify Payments and its suite of merchant solutions is a masterstroke that shows the capability of the management to be able to continue executing its high growth strategies with aplomb moving forward. Despite its relatively high valuation levels, it also remains a very strong stock from the technical point of view, so bullish investors may consider adding it at the next dip.\nShopify: Defying Amazon’s Valuation Logic\nShopify’s critics have often questioned the logic of investing in Shopify when you can invest in Amazon (AMZN) for a fraction of its expensive valuation. Yet, investors in SHOP continue to defy “common valuation logic” by pointing to Shopify’s incredible growth rates.\nSHOP and AMZN LTM Revenue Growth Trend. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nAMZN and SHOP LTM Revenue YoY Growth & Revenue 3Y CAGR. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nOver the last 5 years, SHOP’s revenue growth has easily surpassed AMZN at every reporting quarter, and the pandemic fueled e-commerce tailwind also drove higher growth to SHOP as its LTM revenue YoY growth read 99.6% as compared to AMZN’s “meagre” 41.5%. Moreover, SHOP’s revenue 3Y CAGR of 63.3% also easily bested AMZN’s 3Y CAGR of 29.5%. So clearly, SHOP’s growth has been truly phenomenal.\nShopify's Compelling Merchant Solutions Growth Drivers\nShopify Revenue Segments. Data Source: Company Filings\nIn recent years, we could see that even though Shopify’s revenue growth has been pretty much broad-based, its merchant solutions segment has been taking up an increasingly large contribution in the company’s revenue base and have transformed itself into Shopify’s most important revenue driver, accounting for 67.6% of Q1’21 revenue. The shift towards increasing the revenue base of merchant solutions has seen the company continuing to roll out multiple new merchant solutions initiatives and services to further monetize the company’s merchant base and improve the strength of its ecosystem, therefore enhancing its “stickiness” and retention over time.\nShopify Subscription Solutions and Merchant Solutions YoY Growth. Data Source: Company Filings\nInvestors should be careful not to get too excited with the pulled forward growth as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that we observed in FY 20 as seen above. The management has already strongly emphasized in their guidance that they do not expect this to repeat, and expects YoY growth to normalize to levels seen before the pandemic, which in this case is estimated to be somewhere north of 50%. Even though growth is expected to normalize moving forward, it’s not as if SHOP has been growing slowly and more importantly the pulled forward growth last year has allowed SHOP to dramatically increase its merchants growth onto its platform for future monetization within Shopify’s robust ecosystem.\nShopify Segment Gross Margins. Data Source: Company Filings\nAlthough Q1’21’s gross margin was higher than recent historical trends, we should not expect this to carry on moving forward. The management pointed out clearly that the company is focusing its efforts to continue improving its robust ecosystem for its merchants such as developing the Shopify Fulfillment Network [SFN], as it expects that the merchant solutions segment to continue driving its revenue growth even if it means lesser gross margins moving forward.\nShopify Payments is the Key to Unlock the Benefits from GMV Growth\nDespite that, the company clarified that as Shopify Payments continue to see increased adoption and usage among its merchants, the company expects to see significant improvement to its SG&A efficiencies as Shopify Payments has a much lesser impact on SG&A margins, therefore leading to improvement on operating efficiencies as Shopify Payments scale up further.\nSHOP EBIT Margin, SG&A Margin, R&D Margin, Gross Margin. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nClearly, investors could see that despite posting a relatively high LTM gross margin profile in Q1’21: 53.5%, it has only recently turned LTM EBIT profitable (Q1’21: 10.5%), thanks to the company’s solid improvement with its operating efficiencies even though the gross margin profile has remained stable over time, even with the pulled forward growth from COVID-19 last year.\nWe could see a consistently declining LTM SG&A margin trend reaching 24.8% in Q1’21 from a high of 44.1% in Q4’16, signifying a huge improvement. Therefore, I’m confident that SHOP would continue to deliver improved operating efficiencies as it scales up its SFN to further strengthen its ecosystem, creating even more value and synergies for its merchants and their customers.\nSHOP’s GMV and GPV Analysis.

Data Source: Company Filings\nWith the increased adoption and usage of Shopify Payments, in Q1’21 GPV formed 46.4% of GMV, from a low of 37.5% of GMV just 3 years ago. I believe Shopify is moving in the right direction to continue driving more and more merchants towards Shopify Payments as it creates a powerful flywheel to unlock even more and more of the expected massive GMV growth moving forward.\nShopify MRR. Data Source: Company Filings\nShopify MRR YoY Growth. Data Source: Company Filings\nThe sustained improvement in GPV growth has come at an important juncture as SHOP had already been experiencing slower MRR growth pre-pandemic (from 36% in Q1’19 to 21% in Q2’20). Therefore, by strategically being able to monetize its merchants in other areas has helped to manage this slowdown, while at the same time opened up many new revenue opportunities for Merchant Solutions to help drive the company’s future growth.\nThe Importance of International Expansion\nShopify Revenue by Merchant Location. Data Source: Company Filings\nShopify Revenue by Merchant Location YoY Growth. Data Source: Company Filings\nAlthough U.S. merchants continue to be SHOP’s most important revenue driver (66.7% of FY 20 revenue), the company has also experienced rapid growth in other geographical markets, particularly in its Rest of World segment. As we can observe from the above chart, U.S. growth has already been trending down pre-pandemic, while Rest of World growth has continued to grow rapidly and consistently.\nAmazon Revenue Segments YoY Growth. Data Source: Company Filings\nWe also observed this from AMZN’s International segment growth where although it has been somewhat of a laggard in previous quarters, it has started to outpace North America’s growth for the last 2 quarters, culminating in Q1’21 YoY growth of 60.4% for the International segment against 39.5% for the North America segment.\nU.S. Retail e-commerce revenue 2017 to 2025.

In modelling their FCF, SE is expected to generate so much FCF from its revenue growth and operating profits that the company looks increasingly like a massive cash flow machine moving forward. It’s not as if SHOP looks sloppy, but when compared to SE’s FCF margins, they certainly don’t look as impressive though.\nSE and SHOP Projected Revenue CAGR (5Y, 10Y), 10Y Projected Av. Unlevered FCF Margin, EV / FY+1 Rev. Data Source: S&P Capital IQ\nMore importantly, when we bring their current valuation levels into the picture (EV / FY+1 Rev), we could see that SE’s current valuation (16.3x) looks so much more attractive than SHOP’s (32.7x), while being able to convert that rapid revenue growth into higher FCF margins. It should also be noted that I have modelled both companies to continue their blockbuster performances: SE (5Y CAGR of 44.3%, 10Y CAGR of 26.7%), SHOP (5Y CAGR 41.4%, 10Y CAGR 32.3%).\nTherefore, for investors who would like a share of that rapid international growth in the Southeast Asian market coupled with a leading cash flow generating gaming segment, you should look no further than SE.\nMarket share of e-commerce software platforms in the U.S. in 2021 Data Source: Builtwith\nUnique visitors to the most popular online retailers in SEA in 2020. Data Source: iPrice Group, SimilarWeb, Marketing in Asia\nWhen we consider the competitive economics in the U.S. against Southeast Asia, it becomes very clear. Shopify faces strong competition within its software platform segment, without accounting for Amazon’s prowess as well. Even though I expect Shopify to continue its rapid expansion, I believe that it faces more intensive competitive threats than Sea Limited as the pie in the U.S. is expected to grow slower over time. SHOP needs almost perfect execution every quarter to justify its lofty valuations.\nAs compared to SE, it is clearly the dominant online marketplace now in Southeast Asia by a fairly large margin, and its prowess and scale is also growing, further stretching the distance from its competitors. Coupled with its ShopeePay payments platform, it also creates a flywheel effect similar to what Shopify Payments does for Shopify. The leadership in Southeast Asia is surely Sea’s to lose, and there’s so much potential growth that the company can capture in this region as the undisputed leader. When we consider Shopify’s valuations against SE’s it looks quite clear SE’s valuation looks more attractive now, with stronger market leadership and arguably higher potential growth.\nPrice Action and Technical Analysis\nSource: TradingView\nSHOP’s price action has been stuck somewhat in a large consolidation phase since Oct 20, with the bull trap set in Feb 21 at around the $1500 level. Support was found at around the $1000 level, with further support at around the $835 level for investors who wish to add further into SHOP. It’s important to note that despite SHOP’s lofty valuations, its long term uptrend bias has never been threatened, and I expect this to carry on moving forward.\nWrapping it all up\nAlthough Shopify is one of the most expensive high quality e-commerce stocks right now, it’s also expected to generate rapid growth ahead with its ever improving ecosystem for its merchants. Coupled with one of the strongest long term uptrend biases that I have seen for stocks (It didn’t lose its key support levels even during the COVID-19 bear market), I believe this puts SHOP in a strong position as a stock to add aggressively at the next big dip.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":432,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112373301,"gmtCreate":1622853528203,"gmtModify":1704192383909,"author":{"id":"3585126496093611","authorId":"3585126496093611","name":"matrixguy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec0cef7c3810092165a5a0ea09e5275f","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585126496093611","authorIdStr":"3585126496093611"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/112373301","repostId":"1123977724","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123977724","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622819745,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123977724?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-04 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cowen downgrades Workhorse, calls latest move a ‘meme stock spike’","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123977724","media":"CNBC","summary":"Workhorse Group’s 57% jump this week is due to a “meme stock spike” and nothing else, Cowen said Fri","content":"<div>\n<p>Workhorse Group’s 57% jump this week is due to a “meme stock spike” and nothing else, Cowen said Friday in a note to clients while downgrading the stock.\nThe firm cut its rating from outperform to ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/04/cowen-downgrades-workhorse-calls-latest-move-a-meme-stock-spike.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

If GameStop was the poster child of the Reddit-fueled rally earlier this year, this time around it’s AMC. The movie theater chain’s stock dipped 18% on Thursday, but it’s still up 96% for the week after nearly doubling during Wednesday’s trading session.\nOne indication that Workhorse is part of this group is its short interest. According to data from FactSet, 41% of its float is sold short. This means a very larger portion of investors — typically institutional investors — are betting the stock will decline. Traders targeting heavily-shorted stocks has been a hallmark of the meme-stock rally. For AMC and Bed Bath & Beyond 21% and 31% of shares are sold short, according to FactSet. If these heavily shorted stocks rally, it can cause a so-called short squeeze where those betting against the stock are forced to buy it to cut their losses.\nWhen downgrading Workhorse, Cowen kept all of its estimates the same, including its $13 target, which is 12% below where shares closed on Thursday.\nWorkhorse shares fell 9% during on Friday. The stock has shed 32% this year even with the recent spikes.\nLooking ahead, the firm said Workhorse has between nine and 12 months before competitive dynamics heat up. Ford and GM have outlined long-term electric vehicle development plans, while a host of start-ups are also emerging in the EV space.\n“Competition is increasing with several well capitalized companies entering in to the electric van market for last mile delivery applications,” analysts led by Jeffrey Osborne said. “We look to the balance of FY21 to see management begin to execute on its production targets in earnest and leverage its first to market advantage.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":354,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":183547589,"gmtCreate":1623337830541,"gmtModify":1704201308683,"author":{"id":"3585126496093611","authorId":"3585126496093611","name":"matrixguy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec0cef7c3810092165a5a0ea09e5275f","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585126496093611","authorIdStr":"3585126496093611"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good","listText":"good","text":"good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/183547589","repostId":"1193863762","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1193863762","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623334800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1193863762?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-10 22:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Global Semiconductor annual sales projected to increase 19.7% in 2021, 8.8% in 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193863762","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"(June 10) Semiconductor stocks rose in morning trading.\nRelated: Semiconductor Watchlist: Jim Cramer","content":"<p>(June 10)&nbsp;Semiconductor&nbsp;stocks&nbsp;rose&nbsp;in&nbsp;morning&nbsp;trading.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/NW/1163875762\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Related:&nbsp;Semiconductor Watchlist: Jim Cramer Says to Own Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom</b></a><b></b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb703ee8165d2dc48c5550db47dfebc7\" tg-width=\"303\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics estimates, the global semiconductor market will rise from 6.8% in 2020 to 19.7% thisyear to ~$527B.</p>\n<p>The most significant growth contributors are Memory with 31.7%, followed by Sensors with 22.4% and, Analog with 21.7%.

The Apple Maven looked back at recent history to see how AAPL stock behaved around these events.\nApple’s WWDC is just around the corner. The Cupertino company will virtually host the 32nd Worldwide Developers Conference, starting June 7. Rumor has it that Apple will announce five new software updates, including iOS 15 and macOS 12. Also, new hardware could be unveiled, but these announcements tend to be rare during the developers’ conference.\nToday, the Apple Maven looks back at the most recent WWDC events to check how the stock behaved prior to and immediately after the conference.\nBefore we dive in…\nKeep in mind that the Apple Maven will cover the event via live blog, starting at 9:45 a.m. Cupertino time (PDT), on June 7. Tune in to follow our analysis of Apple's WWDC presentation!\nFigure 1: Apple's 2021 WWDC.\nWWDC 2017: Apple stock hiccups\nThe 2017 edition of WWDC took place between June 5 and June 9, 2017. At that time, three software updates were announced: the iOS 11, macOS High Sierra and tvOS. Also, hardware updates were unveiled, including the Mac, iPad and HomePod.\nLooking at the performance of Apple shares a week before until the end of the event, AAPL investors did not show much enthusiasm. The stock moved 3% lower, trading at that time at $37.\nFigure 2: AAPL 2017 chart.\nWWDC 2018: modest climb\nIn 2018, WWDC was held from June 4 to June 8. iOS 12 was announced, and so were software updates for Mac and Watch.

The Google Cloud Platform offering has coexisted separately, and Google has not undertaken the effort to migrate its eponymous search engine, for example, to the Google public cloud.\nBut the company’s perspective on the value of having its top products use the cloud just like third-party applications has shifted.\n“Part of evolving the cloud is having our own services use it more and more, and they are,” Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, told CNBC in an interview last month. “Parts of YouTube are moving to Google Cloud.”\nThe change will bring Google more in line with its main U.S. competitors,Amazon and Microsoft.\nIn 2019 Amazon said its consumer business had turned off its final Oracle database in favor of databases from Amazon Web Services, after years of work. Microsoft has sought to make its LinkedIn social network and Minecraft video game more dependent on the company’s own Azure public cloud.\nThe Google Workspace bundle of productivity apps formerly known as G Suite, the Waze navigation app and the DeepMind artificial-intelligence research group all draw on Google cloud infrastructure, Kurian said.\nYouTube is different. It’s the second largest website on the internet, according to Amazon’s Alexa analytics tool, with over 2 billion users each month. Google bought the property in 2006 for $1.65 billion.\nGoogle’s decision to consume public-cloud resources for YouTube and other consumer services might make life easier for the company’s salespeople, who are constantly trying to persuade large companies to try building on the Google cloud or running existing applications on the Google Cloud Platform. Salespeople will be able to say the Google cloud is good enough for the company’s business-critical workloads.\nThat, over time, could boost Google’s cloud revenue. In the first quarter nearly 58% of Google parent Alphabet’s revenue came from the Google Search and Other category, which includes advertising displayed on Google’s web search engine, Gmail, Google Maps and other online destinations it operates. Google’s cloud business, which includes the public cloud and Google Workspace, delivered 7% of revenue but grew faster.\nThe cloud unit has narrowed Alphabet’s operating margin with billions in annual losses for at least three years, but the largest cloud infrastructure provider by revenue, Amazon Web Services, has become a key source of profit.\nGoogle held 5% of the cloud infrastructure market in 2019, while Amazon had 45% and Microsoft had about 18%, according to technology industry research company Gartner. Gartner has not released more recent figures.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
