Still, Potter does notably have some good points about Tesla's strong business momentum. Even Tesla itself reiterated guidance for vehicle deliveries to grow more than 50% this year -- and that guidance was provided during a time that many companies around the world (including Tesla) are negatively impacted by supply chain shortages.

Further, Tesla management noted in its second-quarter update that demand for its vehicles was at an all-time high going into Q3.\nWhile a $1,200 price target for Tesla stock would be difficult to justify, shares may be trading low enough for investors to start a small position in the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":329,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891478694,"gmtCreate":1628420131618,"gmtModify":1703506091194,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"OK sure","listText":"OK sure","text":"OK sure","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/891478694","repostId":"1180529438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180529438","pubTimestamp":1628386129,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180529438?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-08 09:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SEC Moves First DeFi Unregistered Securities Lawsuit","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180529438","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The United States Securities and Exchange Commission  sued the organization responsible for the development of a decentralized finance  protocol over activities involved with the project for the first time.What Happened: According to a Friday SEC announcement, the agency has sued Cayman Islands-based Blockchain Credit Partners and two of its top executives over allegedly selling unregistered securities through its DeFi Money Market platform from February 2020 to February 2021.

What To Consider","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1136485652","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nTSM offers exposure to the growing semiconductor industry in a diversified way, as it will ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>TSM offers exposure to the growing semiconductor industry in a diversified way, as it will benefit from growth at NVIDIA, Apple, and many more.</li>\n <li>The company's business model has some disadvantages as well, mainly its relatively high capital requirements that limit its FCF conversion rate.</li>\n <li>TSM is trading above its longer-term valuation range, but shares could still deliver attractive returns in the long run.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Article Thesis</b></p>\n<p>The semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, and the long-term outlook remains strong as well. Chips are integral for our way of life and for our economy, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM), as one of the largest manufacturers in the space, is poised to benefit from long-term growth trends. Investors should, apart from the growth prospects, also consider TSM's valuation and the risks for the business. Overall, TSM still seems like a company that could deliver attractive returns in the long run.</p>\n<p><b>Taiwan Semiconductor As A Play On Global Semiconductor Demand Growth</b></p>\n<p>Over the last couple of decades, the global semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth, as chips have become integral for almost everything we do, from work to our personal communication, and even for the way we spend our free time. These trends -- digitalization &amp; technification -- are still in play, and it seems highly unlikely that we will be using fewer technical gadgets and products in a decade or two. In fact, it seems, to me, pretty much certain that our chip usage will grow even more, due to megatrends such as the internet of things, smart products, self-driving cars, wearable tech, and so on. Even trends such as working from home will lead to fewer meetings that will be conducted in-person, which will, in turn, lead to higher demand for at-home technical equipment and processing power in server farms that handle video conferences. New and emerging technologies, such as the&nbsp;Metaverse&nbsp;as the next-generation internet, will require more processing power compared to current technologies as well, which will, in turn, lead to higher chip demand. Overall, the growth outlook for the semiconductor industry is thus strong and will remain strong for a long time, I believe. This does not necessarily mean that every company in this space will grow forever, but it is, of course, better to be active in a high-growth industry rather than a low-growth industry, all else equal.</p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, as the leading contract manufacturer in the world, will benefit from higher demand for contract manufacturing. This, in turn, will be driven by the increasing demand from fabless companies such as NVIDIA (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Apple (AAPL), and many more that are paying TSM to manufacture their semiconductors.</p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor's business model has the upside of allowing the company to benefit from growing chip demand overall, no matter which individual customer experiences the highest demand growth. On the other hand, there are also downsides to TSM's business model, mainly the fact that the buildout of&nbsp;new plants&nbsp;requires huge capital expenditures:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5579119980e11c583375bdbd4b054194\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>TSM did generate operating cash flows of $29 billion over the last year, which results in a free cash flow of $9 billion once capital expenditures of $20 billion are subtracted. Net income, over the same time, was $18 billion, which means that TSM's free cash flow conversion rate was rather low, at just 50%. Other semiconductor companies, especially those that operate on a fabless basis, do generate significantly higher FCF relative to their net profits. One should, however, note that not all of TSM's capital expenditures are spent on maintenance projects, and growth spending will lead to higher cash flows at some point in the future. Still, TSM's business model means that its FCF is relatively weak relative to net profits, which limits the company's ability to grow via M&amp;A or to return cash to the company's owners.</p>\n<p><b>Is TSM Stock Overvalued?</b></p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has seen its shares rise by 45% over the last year, which may lead to questions about its current valuation. It should, however, be noted that this is not that much more than the returns by the broad market over the same time frame, as the S&amp;P 500 index (SPY) is up 35% over the last twelve months. TSM's stock trades significantly below the all-time high that was hit in early 2021 at $142, shares have declined by close to 20% over the last couple of months. Based on current earnings per share estimates for this fiscal year, TSM trades at 27x net profits, which is neither an overly high valuation nor an especially low valuation in absolute terms. On a relative basis, TSM looks significantly more expensive than it used to be:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3630fc05937b218e3c5522064b623da8\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>In the above chart, we see that TSM was historically valued at 17x-23x its net profits, on average. At current prices, TSM trades about 20% above the 3-year median earnings multiple, and at a quite large 60% premium compared to the 10-year median. One can, of course, note that multiple expansion relative to the 10-year median is justified -- interest rates are ultra-low today, TSM's scale has improved and its moat has grown, and shares were arguably too cheap over much of the last decade. I would thus not call TSM overly expensive today, but it is still noteworthy that the company trades at a pretty clear premium compared to how shares were valued in the past.</p>\n<p>When we compare TSM's valuation to its growth rate, TSM does not look overly expensive, either. The company grew its earnings per share by 11% in the most recent quarter, and&nbsp;revenue growth&nbsp;has been in the double-digits, and as high as 45% in eight out of the last eight quarters. Strong growth will persist through the coming quarters and years from what we know today:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54f91237b93efce20ea06606b1896a3d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: TSM presentation</span></p>\n<p>Based on management's current guidance, TSM will grow its revenue by 20% in Q3, compared to the previous year's quarter. On top of that, TSM's top line will hit a new record high, as revenues have never breached $14 billion before. Margins will, from what we know, not improve versus recent quarters, but top-line growth alone, at constant margins, will allow for an attractive increase in net profits.</p>\n<p>Due to the aforementioned tailwinds for the semiconductor industry as a whole, and thanks to a strong position for TSM when it comes to manufacturing processes such as 5nm and 7nm, which make up 50% of TSM's revenue, it is not a big surprise to see that analysts are forecasting attractive growth well beyond 2021. Current consensus estimates see TSM earning&nbsp;$5.53 per share&nbsp;in 2023, which gets us to a 2023 earnings multiple of 21, which I do not deem expensive for a major player in a growth industry such as TSM.</p>\n<p><b>Will TSM Stock Go Up?</b></p>\n<p>In the near term, price movements are mostly driven by sentiment, and not really influenced by underlying results to a large degree. It thus seems pretty daring to try to estimate where prices will be a month or 3 months from now. The current consensus price target by the analyst community is $137, which indicates an upside of around 20% over the next year. The consensus rating by Wall Street analysts is also bullish, and the same holds true for the Seeking Alpha Quant rating, which stands at3.8, which is moderately bullish. With an RSI (relative strength index) of 48, Taiwan Semiconductor is neither overbought nor oversold. Over the next year, its share price could thus climb if the analyst community is correct, but this is far from certain, and the above-average valuation may pressure returns in the foreseeable future. It is, however, more important to try to evaluate where shares will be a couple of years from now, and the outlook is pretty solid for TSM in that regard.</p>\n<p><b>Is TSM Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Due to the aforementioned industry characteristics and TSM's sizeable moat when it comes to contract manufacturing, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has an attractive long-term growth outlook, I believe. Analysts are forecasting $5.53 in earnings per share for 2023, and growth beyond that point should remain meaningful as well -- analysts are expecting 16% growth annually in the long run.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf936a529b0793b3f6469237189d9d29\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"515\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: FAST Graphs</span></p>\n<p>As we see in the above chart, annual returns could come in around 11% a year through the next five years if the consensus growth rate is correct -- and multiple compression towards an earnings multiple of 22 is already included in that estimate. Due to the fact that TSM is trading above its normal range today, I believe that a 27x earnings multiple will not be maintained, but an earnings multiple in the low 20s seems quite reasonable to me. Even if the P/E ratio were to decline to just 20, TSM would still generate annual returns of 9% a year through 2026, assuming growth is as fast as expected. Since TSM has managed to beat profit estimates for 13 quarters in a row, one could assume that there is little risk that analyst estimates are suddenly too aggressive -- in fact, returns could be slightly higher than what the above model indicates if the beating of expectations continues.</p>\n<p>Overall, TSM looks like a very solid long-term investment if one seeks a play that gives exposure to the whole semiconductor industry and its long-term growth tailwinds. </p>\n<p>TSM pays a dividend yielding around 1.7% today, which is not overly much, but still more than what one can get from the broad market. Combined with a 5-year dividend growth rate of 13%, Taiwan Semiconductor seems like an appealing choice for a dividend growth investment -- the overall pretty strong&nbsp;Dividend Grades&nbsp;from Seeking Alpha's quant algorithm underline this. It would, of course, be great if one could buy TSM at or closer to the median earnings multiples from the past, but there is no immediate catalyst that could bring shares back down below $100, and it is far from certain that this will happen at all.</p>\n<p>Overall, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company thus looks like a very solid long-term pick, even though total returns will likely be negatively impacted by some multiple compression in the long run.

Chips are integral for our way of life and for our economy, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM), as one of the largest manufacturers in the space, is poised to benefit from long-term growth trends. Investors should, apart from the growth prospects, also consider TSM's valuation and the risks for the business. Overall, TSM still seems like a company that could deliver attractive returns in the long run.\nTaiwan Semiconductor As A Play On Global Semiconductor Demand Growth\nOver the last couple of decades, the global semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth, as chips have become integral for almost everything we do, from work to our personal communication, and even for the way we spend our free time. These trends -- digitalization & technification -- are still in play, and it seems highly unlikely that we will be using fewer technical gadgets and products in a decade or two. In fact, it seems, to me, pretty much certain that our chip usage will grow even more, due to megatrends such as the internet of things, smart products, self-driving cars, wearable tech, and so on. Even trends such as working from home will lead to fewer meetings that will be conducted in-person, which will, in turn, lead to higher demand for at-home technical equipment and processing power in server farms that handle video conferences. New and emerging technologies, such as the Metaverse as the next-generation internet, will require more processing power compared to current technologies as well, which will, in turn, lead to higher chip demand. Overall, the growth outlook for the semiconductor industry is thus strong and will remain strong for a long time, I believe. This does not necessarily mean that every company in this space will grow forever, but it is, of course, better to be active in a high-growth industry rather than a low-growth industry, all else equal.\nTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, as the leading contract manufacturer in the world, will benefit from higher demand for contract manufacturing. This, in turn, will be driven by the increasing demand from fabless companies such as NVIDIA (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Apple (AAPL), and many more that are paying TSM to manufacture their semiconductors.\nTaiwan Semiconductor's business model has the upside of allowing the company to benefit from growing chip demand overall, no matter which individual customer experiences the highest demand growth. On the other hand, there are also downsides to TSM's business model, mainly the fact that the buildout of new plants requires huge capital expenditures:\nData by YCharts\nTSM did generate operating cash flows of $29 billion over the last year, which results in a free cash flow of $9 billion once capital expenditures of $20 billion are subtracted. Net income, over the same time, was $18 billion, which means that TSM's free cash flow conversion rate was rather low, at just 50%. Other semiconductor companies, especially those that operate on a fabless basis, do generate significantly higher FCF relative to their net profits. One should, however, note that not all of TSM's capital expenditures are spent on maintenance projects, and growth spending will lead to higher cash flows at some point in the future. Still, TSM's business model means that its FCF is relatively weak relative to net profits, which limits the company's ability to grow via M&A or to return cash to the company's owners.\nIs TSM Stock Overvalued?\nTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has seen its shares rise by 45% over the last year, which may lead to questions about its current valuation. It should, however, be noted that this is not that much more than the returns by the broad market over the same time frame, as the S&P 500 index (SPY) is up 35% over the last twelve months. TSM's stock trades significantly below the all-time high that was hit in early 2021 at $142, shares have declined by close to 20% over the last couple of months. Based on current earnings per share estimates for this fiscal year, TSM trades at 27x net profits, which is neither an overly high valuation nor an especially low valuation in absolute terms. On a relative basis, TSM looks significantly more expensive than it used to be:\nData by YCharts\nIn the above chart, we see that TSM was historically valued at 17x-23x its net profits, on average. At current prices, TSM trades about 20% above the 3-year median earnings multiple, and at a quite large 60% premium compared to the 10-year median. One can, of course, note that multiple expansion relative to the 10-year median is justified -- interest rates are ultra-low today, TSM's scale has improved and its moat has grown, and shares were arguably too cheap over much of the last decade. I would thus not call TSM overly expensive today, but it is still noteworthy that the company trades at a pretty clear premium compared to how shares were valued in the past.\nWhen we compare TSM's valuation to its growth rate, TSM does not look overly expensive, either. The company grew its earnings per share by 11% in the most recent quarter, and revenue growth has been in the double-digits, and as high as 45% in eight out of the last eight quarters. Strong growth will persist through the coming quarters and years from what we know today:\nSource: TSM presentation\nBased on management's current guidance, TSM will grow its revenue by 20% in Q3, compared to the previous year's quarter. On top of that, TSM's top line will hit a new record high, as revenues have never breached $14 billion before. Margins will, from what we know, not improve versus recent quarters, but top-line growth alone, at constant margins, will allow for an attractive increase in net profits.\nDue to the aforementioned tailwinds for the semiconductor industry as a whole, and thanks to a strong position for TSM when it comes to manufacturing processes such as 5nm and 7nm, which make up 50% of TSM's revenue, it is not a big surprise to see that analysts are forecasting attractive growth well beyond 2021. Current consensus estimates see TSM earning $5.53 per share in 2023, which gets us to a 2023 earnings multiple of 21, which I do not deem expensive for a major player in a growth industry such as TSM.\nWill TSM Stock Go Up?\nIn the near term, price movements are mostly driven by sentiment, and not really influenced by underlying results to a large degree. It thus seems pretty daring to try to estimate where prices will be a month or 3 months from now. The current consensus price target by the analyst community is $137, which indicates an upside of around 20% over the next year. The consensus rating by Wall Street analysts is also bullish, and the same holds true for the Seeking Alpha Quant rating, which stands at3.8, which is moderately bullish. With an RSI (relative strength index) of 48, Taiwan Semiconductor is neither overbought nor oversold. Over the next year, its share price could thus climb if the analyst community is correct, but this is far from certain, and the above-average valuation may pressure returns in the foreseeable future. It is, however, more important to try to evaluate where shares will be a couple of years from now, and the outlook is pretty solid for TSM in that regard.\nIs TSM Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?\nDue to the aforementioned industry characteristics and TSM's sizeable moat when it comes to contract manufacturing, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has an attractive long-term growth outlook, I believe. Analysts are forecasting $5.53 in earnings per share for 2023, and growth beyond that point should remain meaningful as well -- analysts are expecting 16% growth annually in the long run.\nSource: FAST Graphs\nAs we see in the above chart, annual returns could come in around 11% a year through the next five years if the consensus growth rate is correct -- and multiple compression towards an earnings multiple of 22 is already included in that estimate. Due to the fact that TSM is trading above its normal range today, I believe that a 27x earnings multiple will not be maintained, but an earnings multiple in the low 20s seems quite reasonable to me. Even if the P/E ratio were to decline to just 20, TSM would still generate annual returns of 9% a year through 2026, assuming growth is as fast as expected. Since TSM has managed to beat profit estimates for 13 quarters in a row, one could assume that there is little risk that analyst estimates are suddenly too aggressive -- in fact, returns could be slightly higher than what the above model indicates if the beating of expectations continues.\nOverall, TSM looks like a very solid long-term investment if one seeks a play that gives exposure to the whole semiconductor industry and its long-term growth tailwinds. \nTSM pays a dividend yielding around 1.7% today, which is not overly much, but still more than what one can get from the broad market. Combined with a 5-year dividend growth rate of 13%, Taiwan Semiconductor seems like an appealing choice for a dividend growth investment -- the overall pretty strong Dividend Grades from Seeking Alpha's quant algorithm underline this. It would, of course, be great if one could buy TSM at or closer to the median earnings multiples from the past, but there is no immediate catalyst that could bring shares back down below $100, and it is far from certain that this will happen at all.\nOverall, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company thus looks like a very solid long-term pick, even though total returns will likely be negatively impacted by some multiple compression in the long run. Annual returns, including dividends, in the 9%-12% range are realistic when one has a multi-year investment horizon, I believe. This is far from what one got over the last five years (more than 30% a year), but this could easily be enough to beat the returns of the market through 2026, I believe.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807783787,"gmtCreate":1628057923349,"gmtModify":1703500435049,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I see","listText":"I see","text":"I see","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807783787","repostId":"1164127306","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164127306","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":1628057615,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164127306?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-04 14:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is the era of Alibaba's high growth over?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164127306","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"China's Alibaba Group Holding Ltd missed analyst estimates for first-quarter revenue on Tuesday.\nBUS","content":"<p>China's Alibaba Group Holding Ltd missed analyst estimates for first-quarter revenue on Tuesday.</p>\n<h4>BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS</h4>\n<p>In the quarter ended June 30, 2021:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Overall, revenue rose about 34% to 205.74 billion yuan ($31.83 billion) in the first quarter ended June 30, below estimates for 209.39 billion yuan, Core commerce revenue for Alibaba rose about 35% to 180.24 billion yuan in the quarter, compared with estimates of 184.23 billion yuan.

In the fourth quarter, the unit's revenue surged more than 70%.\nNon-GAAP net income was RMB43,441 million (US$6,728 million), an increase of 10% year-over-year, over estimates for 29.3 billion yuan. On an adjusted basis, the company earned 16.60 yuan per share, above estimates for 14.43 yuan.\nAnnual active consumers of the Alibaba Ecosystem across the world reached approximately 1.18 billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 45 million from the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. This includes 912 million consumers in China1 and 265 million consumers overseas served by Lazada, AliExpress, Trendyol and Daraz.\n\nIf we focus on specific businesses, we can see that the growth of this financial report is mainly from the core e-commerce part\n\nTotal commerce revenue was 180.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35%.\nRevenue from cloud computing business was 16.05 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 29%.\nRevenue from Digital Media and Entertainment was RMB 8.073 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15%.\nRevenue from innovation initiatives and others was RMB 1.375 billion, a year-on-year increase of 37%.\n\nGrowth slowdown\nCompared with cloud computing, digital media, e-commerce business is the main driving force driving the growth of Alibaba's business, but this time the e-commerce business also has hidden concerns. As mentioned in the last quarter, the reason for Alibaba’s revenue surge this time was mainly from other revenues. This part of revenue reached a staggering 54.8 billion yuan, an increase of 82% year-on-year, and this part of revenue was mainly due to the Oct. 2020 consolidation of Sun Art.\nIn the financial report, Alibaba also mentioned that if the revenue from Sun Art’s consolidation is deducted, Alibaba’s total revenue is 187.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of only 22%, and core e-commerce revenue is 161.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21 %.\nFacing the increasingly fierce competition in the Chinese e-commerce market , the company has increased its investment to support its retail platforms. Although Alibaba still leads the industry, Pduoduo Inc. (PDD), Byteance Ltd.'s short video platform Douyin and Tencent Holdings Ltd.’S social media application WeChat and other e-commerce competitors have reached consumers with new and innovative ways and gained market share.\nEarlier this year, Alibaba stated that all incremental profits will be used to improve its platform, acquire new users and support merchants. On Tuesday, Alibaba said it will continue to make some investments that have already driven growth in key areas such as grocery shopping and consumers in lower-tier cities.\nInvestors had hoped that Alibaba's cloud computing business could drive growth, but the boost of this business slowed down. Alibaba said that its cloud computing business revenue increased by 29% year-on-year, but it was still dragged down by the loss of a major customer, a person familiar with the matter said the customer was Bytedance Inc..\nThe Wall Street Journal reported that the department also encountered difficulties in obtaining new contracts and arranging related meetings because regulators are reviewing its e-commerce business and sister company Ant Group Co.\nGrowth slowed in most of Alibaba’s major divisions from cloud to e-commerce, underlining fears that the mounting list of new government regulations is constraining expansion and increasing companies’ burdens.\nIn a sign of the times, Chief Executive Officer Daniel Zhang on Tuesday endorsed a string of government policies enacted during a tumultuous 2021, from strict curbs on data collection to excessive subsidies.\nThe company tried to assure investors by announcing it will now repurchase $15 billion in shares through next year, up from a $10 billion repurchase plan that had been in place. It also disclosed it had repurchased $3.7 billion worth of its US-traded shares since April.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807783025,"gmtCreate":1628057809767,"gmtModify":1703500433366,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807783025","repostId":"1135713978","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":153,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804522990,"gmtCreate":1627966118110,"gmtModify":1703498769524,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okay","listText":"Okay","text":"Okay","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/804522990","repostId":"1119293992","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":115,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":801348588,"gmtCreate":1627484702744,"gmtModify":1703490954574,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Noted","listText":"Noted","text":"Noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/801348588","repostId":"1179923360","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179923360","pubTimestamp":1627481146,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179923360?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-28 22:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here are three key factors to watch in Facebook’s earnings report that could propel the stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179923360","media":"CNBC","summary":"No metric will be more important for measuring the health of Facebook’s business in its second-quart","content":"<div>\n<p>No metric will be more important for measuring the health of Facebook’s business in its second-quarter earnings results than the company’s advertising revenue.\nThat’s because this quarter will be the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/28/facebook-earnings-what-to-watch-for.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 update, known as iOS 14.5, allows iPhone and iPad users to limit companies from tracking their device’s activity. This makes it difficult for companies like Facebook to target users with personalized ads.\nNo company complained more about the impact of iOS 14.5 than Facebook, which warned that the change to the Apple software would impact small businesses’ ability to market to their customers. For a while now, Facebook has warned investors to brace for “ad targeting headwinds” related to Apple’s changes, as well as others in the internet landscape.\nThe social media giant is scheduled to release earnings Wednesday, July 28 after the bell.\nFacebook’s revenue for the second quarter, their guidance for the rest of the year and any commentary from the company’s executives during its earnings call will be telling. This quarter’s results could provide insight as to how many users opted to restrict Facebook’s tracking and whether the social media company has been able to navigate those restrictions.\n“The changes went into effect during the quarter, and we’re still seeing the rollout of the 14.5 update,” said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst at eMarketer. “I’m going to be very curious.”\nAlready, Facebook’s peers have navigated the challenge’s of iOS 14.5 with few setbacks. Snap, for example,was not affected by the Apple update as it had anticipated, telling analysts on its earnings call on Thursday that it had observed “higher opt-in rates than we are seeing reported generally across the industry.”Twitterechoed the sentiment, telling shareholders that the effect of Apple’s changes was lower than expected. Both companies did warn that the long-term impacts of iOS 14.5 remain to be seen, but so far, the early returns have been promising.\nHere are three Facebook storylines to follow when the company announces its second-quarter earnings:\n1. Facebook’s commerce business\nIn an effort to combat the restrictions of Apple’s iOS 14.5 update, Facebook has been ramping up its efforts to bring more commerce directly into its own apps.\nIt did this last year by introducing Facebook Shops and Instagram Shops, and more recently, the company announced plans to introduce more ways for creators to promote shoppable products through their Instagram accounts. Further,Facebook in June announced its plans to bring shops to WhatsApp, a messaging service.\nBy having users make purchases from advertisers directly on its own apps, Facebook is able to directly measure the effectiveness of its ads and provide those stats to advertisers.\nAlready, Facebook claims more than 300 million monthly Shops visitors and 1.2 million monthly active Shops across its apps. Any updates from Facebook regarding its commerce efforts will be worthwhile for investors.\n“While Q2 is not historically a big commerce quarter, social commerce is clearly coming into its own,” said Ron Josey, JMP Securities managing director.\n2. Covid’s impact on app usage\nInvestors will want to know whether the economic reopening and the expansion of Covid-19 vaccines have affected the amount of time users spend on Facebook and its various apps.\nA year ago when people worldwide were forced indoors, Facebook and other consumer apps saw their usage skyrocket as people sought to stay connected. Now, investors will want to know if that usage has taken a hit or will it continue growing.\n“Now that people are out and getting around, are they posting more or are they living in the real world? What are they doing?” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer of Bokeh Capital.\nAdding a twist to this, however, is the growing spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus. As cases start to rise again in the U.S., investors will want to know what kind of effect, if any, the delta variant could have on Facebook usage.\n3. The regulatory outlook\nFacebook has been under the microscope of lawmakers and regulators worldwide since the company’s March 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which it was reported that a political consulting firm had improperly accessed the data of 87 million Facebook profiles in a bid to influence the 2016 presidential election.\nThis quarter included some major news regarding all of that regulatory pressure.\nMost notably,Facebook scored a major win in late June when a federal court dismissed an antitrust complaint from the Federal Trade Commission against the company as well as a parallel case brought by 48 state attorneys general. Those fights aren’t quite over just yet, but they certainly relieved some of Facebook’s headaches.\nFurther, the company came under more scrutiny in July when the Biden administration scolded the social media company for not doing enough to combat misinformation on its services that discourage people from taking Covid-19 vaccines. At one point, President Joe Biden said “they’re killing people” in regards to the misinformation on Facebook.\nHearing directly from Facebook’s leaders on their outlook for regulatory pressure following these two developments would be welcome insight for investors.\n“Getting out from underneath the FTC investigation, for the moment, takes a big weight off of Facebook’s back, but the regulatory environment isn’t getting any easier anytime soon,” said Daniel Newman, principal analyst at Futurum Research.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809450683,"gmtCreate":1627389012142,"gmtModify":1703488929961,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"OK noted.&nbsp;","listText":"OK noted.&nbsp;","text":"OK noted.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809450683","repostId":"1151272378","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":48,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809450018,"gmtCreate":1627388969934,"gmtModify":1703488930284,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Noted","listText":"Noted","text":"Noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809450018","repostId":"1113843142","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":270,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809427272,"gmtCreate":1627388941596,"gmtModify":1703488929154,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809427272","repostId":"1190390540","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800912971,"gmtCreate":1627271238193,"gmtModify":1703486439170,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/800912971","repostId":"1100772026","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100772026","pubTimestamp":1627254622,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100772026?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-26 07:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Pfizer, and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100772026","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s the busiest week of second-quarter earnings season.

Then Amazon.com, Comcast, Mastercard, and T-Mobile US report on Thursday. Finally, Exxon Mobil, Caterpillar, Charter Communications, Chevron, and Procter & Gamble close the week on Friday.\nThere will be plenty of action on the economic calendar this week too. The Federal Reserve’s policy committee wraps up a two-day meeting on Wednesday. A change in interest rates is off the table, but officials could reveal more information about their timeline for reducing bond purchases. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s post-meeting press conference will be must-watch viewing.\nOn Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis publishes its first official estimate of second-quarter U.S. gross domestic product. Economists are expecting a white-hot 9.1% seasonally adjusted annual growth rate, up from 6.4% in the first quarter.\nOther data out this week include the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index for July and the Commerce Department’s durable goods orders for June, both on Tuesday. The latter is often viewed as a decent proxy for business investment.\nMonday 7/26\nCadence Design Systems, Hasbro, Lockheed Martin, Otis Worldwide, and Tesla report quarterly results.\nThe Census Bureau reports new single-family home sales for June. Economists forecast a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 800,000 new homes sold, 4% more than May’s 769,000.\nTuesday 7/27\nIt’s a big day for megacap tech earnings. Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft will release quarterly results.

Consensus estimate is for a 124 reading, lower than June’s 127.3. The June figure was the highest for the index since the beginning of the pandemic.\nS&P CoreLogic releases its Case-Shiller National Home Price Index for May. Expectations are for a 16.4% year-over-year rise, after a 14.6% jump in April.

metric will be more important for measuring the health of Facebook’s business in its second-quarter earnings results than the company’s advertising revenue.\nThat’s because this quarter will be the first for the social media company since Apple released a key iPhone software update in April. The update, known as iOS 14.5, allows iPhone and iPad users to limit companies from tracking their device’s activity. This makes it difficult for companies like Facebook to target users with personalized ads.\nNo company complained more about the impact of iOS 14.5 than Facebook, which warned that the change to the Apple software would impact small businesses’ ability to market to their customers. For a while now, Facebook has warned investors to brace for “ad targeting headwinds” related to Apple’s changes, as well as others in the internet landscape.\nThe social media giant is scheduled to release earnings Wednesday, July 28 after the bell.\nFacebook’s revenue for the second quarter, their guidance for the rest of the year and any commentary from the company’s executives during its earnings call will be telling. This quarter’s results could provide insight as to how many users opted to restrict Facebook’s tracking and whether the social media company has been able to navigate those restrictions.\n“The changes went into effect during the quarter, and we’re still seeing the rollout of the 14.5 update,” said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst at eMarketer. “I’m going to be very curious.”\nAlready, Facebook’s peers have navigated the challenge’s of iOS 14.5 with few setbacks. Snap, for example,was not affected by the Apple update as it had anticipated, telling analysts on its earnings call on Thursday that it had observed “higher opt-in rates than we are seeing reported generally across the industry.”Twitterechoed the sentiment, telling shareholders that the effect of Apple’s changes was lower than expected. Both companies did warn that the long-term impacts of iOS 14.5 remain to be seen, but so far, the early returns have been promising.\nHere are three Facebook storylines to follow when the company announces its second-quarter earnings:\n1. Facebook’s commerce business\nIn an effort to combat the restrictions of Apple’s iOS 14.5 update, Facebook has been ramping up its efforts to bring more commerce directly into its own apps.\nIt did this last year by introducing Facebook Shops and Instagram Shops, and more recently, the company announced plans to introduce more ways for creators to promote shoppable products through their Instagram accounts. Further,Facebook in June announced its plans to bring shops to WhatsApp, a messaging service.\nBy having users make purchases from advertisers directly on its own apps, Facebook is able to directly measure the effectiveness of its ads and provide those stats to advertisers.\nAlready, Facebook claims more than 300 million monthly Shops visitors and 1.2 million monthly active Shops across its apps. Any updates from Facebook regarding its commerce efforts will be worthwhile for investors.\n“While Q2 is not historically a big commerce quarter, social commerce is clearly coming into its own,” said Ron Josey, JMP Securities managing director.\n2. Covid’s impact on app usage\nInvestors will want to know whether the economic reopening and the expansion of Covid-19 vaccines have affected the amount of time users spend on Facebook and its various apps.\nA year ago when people worldwide were forced indoors, Facebook and other consumer apps saw their usage skyrocket as people sought to stay connected. Now, investors will want to know if that usage has taken a hit or will it continue growing.\n“Now that people are out and getting around, are they posting more or are they living in the real world? What are they doing?” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer of Bokeh Capital.\nAdding a twist to this, however, is the growing spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus. As cases start to rise again in the U.S., investors will want to know what kind of effect, if any, the delta variant could have on Facebook usage.\n3. The regulatory outlook\nFacebook has been under the microscope of lawmakers and regulators worldwide since the company’s March 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which it was reported that a political consulting firm had improperly accessed the data of 87 million Facebook profiles in a bid to influence the 2016 presidential election.\nThis quarter included some major news regarding all of that regulatory pressure.\nMost notably,Facebook scored a major win in late June when a federal court dismissed an antitrust complaint from the Federal Trade Commission against the company as well as a parallel case brought by 48 state attorneys general. Those fights aren’t quite over just yet, but they certainly relieved some of Facebook’s headaches.\nFurther, the company came under more scrutiny in July when the Biden administration scolded the social media company for not doing enough to combat misinformation on its services that discourage people from taking Covid-19 vaccines. At one point, President Joe Biden said “they’re killing people” in regards to the misinformation on Facebook.\nHearing directly from Facebook’s leaders on their outlook for regulatory pressure following these two developments would be welcome insight for investors.\n“Getting out from underneath the FTC investigation, for the moment, takes a big weight off of Facebook’s back, but the regulatory environment isn’t getting any easier anytime soon,” said Daniel Newman, principal analyst at Futurum Research.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809427272,"gmtCreate":1627388941596,"gmtModify":1703488929154,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809427272","repostId":"1190390540","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190390540","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":1627388124,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190390540?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-27 20:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Tuesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190390540","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stock Futures Slip With Tech Earnings on Tap\n\n\nQuarterly results are due from Apple, Microsoft and A","content":"<ul>\n <li>Stock Futures Slip With Tech Earnings on Tap</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n <li>Quarterly results are due from Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet after markets close</li>\n</ul>\n<p>U.S. stock index futures fell on Tuesday ahead of earnings reports from the most valuable companies on Wall Street and in the run-up to the two-day Federal Reserve meeting.</p>\n<p>U.S. S&amp;P 500 E-minis were down 8.25 points, or 0.19%, at 08:05 am ET.

Overall, TSM still seems like a company that could deliver attractive returns in the long run.</p>\n<p><b>Taiwan Semiconductor As A Play On Global Semiconductor Demand Growth</b></p>\n<p>Over the last couple of decades, the global semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth, as chips have become integral for almost everything we do, from work to our personal communication, and even for the way we spend our free time. These trends -- digitalization &amp; technification -- are still in play, and it seems highly unlikely that we will be using fewer technical gadgets and products in a decade or two. In fact, it seems, to me, pretty much certain that our chip usage will grow even more, due to megatrends such as the internet of things, smart products, self-driving cars, wearable tech, and so on. Even trends such as working from home will lead to fewer meetings that will be conducted in-person, which will, in turn, lead to higher demand for at-home technical equipment and processing power in server farms that handle video conferences. New and emerging technologies, such as the&nbsp;Metaverse&nbsp;as the next-generation internet, will require more processing power compared to current technologies as well, which will, in turn, lead to higher chip demand. Overall, the growth outlook for the semiconductor industry is thus strong and will remain strong for a long time, I believe. This does not necessarily mean that every company in this space will grow forever, but it is, of course, better to be active in a high-growth industry rather than a low-growth industry, all else equal.</p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, as the leading contract manufacturer in the world, will benefit from higher demand for contract manufacturing. This, in turn, will be driven by the increasing demand from fabless companies such as NVIDIA (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Apple (AAPL), and many more that are paying TSM to manufacture their semiconductors.</p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor's business model has the upside of allowing the company to benefit from growing chip demand overall, no matter which individual customer experiences the highest demand growth. On the other hand, there are also downsides to TSM's business model, mainly the fact that the buildout of&nbsp;new plants&nbsp;requires huge capital expenditures:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5579119980e11c583375bdbd4b054194\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>TSM did generate operating cash flows of $29 billion over the last year, which results in a free cash flow of $9 billion once capital expenditures of $20 billion are subtracted. Net income, over the same time, was $18 billion, which means that TSM's free cash flow conversion rate was rather low, at just 50%. Other semiconductor companies, especially those that operate on a fabless basis, do generate significantly higher FCF relative to their net profits. One should, however, note that not all of TSM's capital expenditures are spent on maintenance projects, and growth spending will lead to higher cash flows at some point in the future. Still, TSM's business model means that its FCF is relatively weak relative to net profits, which limits the company's ability to grow via M&amp;A or to return cash to the company's owners.</p>\n<p><b>Is TSM Stock Overvalued?</b></p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has seen its shares rise by 45% over the last year, which may lead to questions about its current valuation. It should, however, be noted that this is not that much more than the returns by the broad market over the same time frame, as the S&amp;P 500 index (SPY) is up 35% over the last twelve months. TSM's stock trades significantly below the all-time high that was hit in early 2021 at $142, shares have declined by close to 20% over the last couple of months. Based on current earnings per share estimates for this fiscal year, TSM trades at 27x net profits, which is neither an overly high valuation nor an especially low valuation in absolute terms. On a relative basis, TSM looks significantly more expensive than it used to be:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3630fc05937b218e3c5522064b623da8\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>In the above chart, we see that TSM was historically valued at 17x-23x its net profits, on average. At current prices, TSM trades about 20% above the 3-year median earnings multiple, and at a quite large 60% premium compared to the 10-year median. One can, of course, note that multiple expansion relative to the 10-year median is justified -- interest rates are ultra-low today, TSM's scale has improved and its moat has grown, and shares were arguably too cheap over much of the last decade. I would thus not call TSM overly expensive today, but it is still noteworthy that the company trades at a pretty clear premium compared to how shares were valued in the past.</p>\n<p>When we compare TSM's valuation to its growth rate, TSM does not look overly expensive, either. The company grew its earnings per share by 11% in the most recent quarter, and&nbsp;revenue growth&nbsp;has been in the double-digits, and as high as 45% in eight out of the last eight quarters. Strong growth will persist through the coming quarters and years from what we know today:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54f91237b93efce20ea06606b1896a3d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: TSM presentation</span></p>\n<p>Based on management's current guidance, TSM will grow its revenue by 20% in Q3, compared to the previous year's quarter. On top of that, TSM's top line will hit a new record high, as revenues have never breached $14 billion before. Margins will, from what we know, not improve versus recent quarters, but top-line growth alone, at constant margins, will allow for an attractive increase in net profits.</p>\n<p>Due to the aforementioned tailwinds for the semiconductor industry as a whole, and thanks to a strong position for TSM when it comes to manufacturing processes such as 5nm and 7nm, which make up 50% of TSM's revenue, it is not a big surprise to see that analysts are forecasting attractive growth well beyond 2021. Current consensus estimates see TSM earning&nbsp;$5.53 per share&nbsp;in 2023, which gets us to a 2023 earnings multiple of 21, which I do not deem expensive for a major player in a growth industry such as TSM.</p>\n<p><b>Will TSM Stock Go Up?</b></p>\n<p>In the near term, price movements are mostly driven by sentiment, and not really influenced by underlying results to a large degree. It thus seems pretty daring to try to estimate where prices will be a month or 3 months from now. The current consensus price target by the analyst community is $137, which indicates an upside of around 20% over the next year. The consensus rating by Wall Street analysts is also bullish, and the same holds true for the Seeking Alpha Quant rating, which stands at3.8, which is moderately bullish. With an RSI (relative strength index) of 48, Taiwan Semiconductor is neither overbought nor oversold. Over the next year, its share price could thus climb if the analyst community is correct, but this is far from certain, and the above-average valuation may pressure returns in the foreseeable future. It is, however, more important to try to evaluate where shares will be a couple of years from now, and the outlook is pretty solid for TSM in that regard.</p>\n<p><b>Is TSM Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Due to the aforementioned industry characteristics and TSM's sizeable moat when it comes to contract manufacturing, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has an attractive long-term growth outlook, I believe. Analysts are forecasting $5.53 in earnings per share for 2023, and growth beyond that point should remain meaningful as well -- analysts are expecting 16% growth annually in the long run.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf936a529b0793b3f6469237189d9d29\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"515\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: FAST Graphs</span></p>\n<p>As we see in the above chart, annual returns could come in around 11% a year through the next five years if the consensus growth rate is correct -- and multiple compression towards an earnings multiple of 22 is already included in that estimate. Due to the fact that TSM is trading above its normal range today, I believe that a 27x earnings multiple will not be maintained, but an earnings multiple in the low 20s seems quite reasonable to me. Even if the P/E ratio were to decline to just 20, TSM would still generate annual returns of 9% a year through 2026, assuming growth is as fast as expected. Since TSM has managed to beat profit estimates for 13 quarters in a row, one could assume that there is little risk that analyst estimates are suddenly too aggressive -- in fact, returns could be slightly higher than what the above model indicates if the beating of expectations continues.</p>\n<p>Overall, TSM looks like a very solid long-term investment if one seeks a play that gives exposure to the whole semiconductor industry and its long-term growth tailwinds. </p>\n<p>TSM pays a dividend yielding around 1.7% today, which is not overly much, but still more than what one can get from the broad market. Combined with a 5-year dividend growth rate of 13%, Taiwan Semiconductor seems like an appealing choice for a dividend growth investment -- the overall pretty strong&nbsp;Dividend Grades&nbsp;from Seeking Alpha's quant algorithm underline this. It would, of course, be great if one could buy TSM at or closer to the median earnings multiples from the past, but there is no immediate catalyst that could bring shares back down below $100, and it is far from certain that this will happen at all.</p>\n<p>Overall, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company thus looks like a very solid long-term pick, even though total returns will likely be negatively impacted by some multiple compression in the long run. Annual returns, including dividends, in the 9%-12% range are realistic when one has a multi-year investment horizon, I believe. This is far from what one got over the last five years (more than 30% a year), but this could easily be enough to beat the returns of the market through 2026, I believe.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Taiwan Semiconductor Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?

Analysts are forecasting $5.53 in earnings per share for 2023, and growth beyond that point should remain meaningful as well -- analysts are expecting 16% growth annually in the long run.\nSource: FAST Graphs\nAs we see in the above chart, annual returns could come in around 11% a year through the next five years if the consensus growth rate is correct -- and multiple compression towards an earnings multiple of 22 is already included in that estimate. Due to the fact that TSM is trading above its normal range today, I believe that a 27x earnings multiple will not be maintained, but an earnings multiple in the low 20s seems quite reasonable to me. Even if the P/E ratio were to decline to just 20, TSM would still generate annual returns of 9% a year through 2026, assuming growth is as fast as expected. Since TSM has managed to beat profit estimates for 13 quarters in a row, one could assume that there is little risk that analyst estimates are suddenly too aggressive -- in fact, returns could be slightly higher than what the above model indicates if the beating of expectations continues.\nOverall, TSM looks like a very solid long-term investment if one seeks a play that gives exposure to the whole semiconductor industry and its long-term growth tailwinds. \nTSM pays a dividend yielding around 1.7% today, which is not overly much, but still more than what one can get from the broad market. Combined with a 5-year dividend growth rate of 13%, Taiwan Semiconductor seems like an appealing choice for a dividend growth investment -- the overall pretty strong Dividend Grades from Seeking Alpha's quant algorithm underline this. It would, of course, be great if one could buy TSM at or closer to the median earnings multiples from the past, but there is no immediate catalyst that could bring shares back down below $100, and it is far from certain that this will happen at all.\nOverall, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company thus looks like a very solid long-term pick, even though total returns will likely be negatively impacted by some multiple compression in the long run. Annual returns, including dividends, in the 9%-12% range are realistic when one has a multi-year investment horizon, I believe. This is far from what one got over the last five years (more than 30% a year), but this could easily be enough to beat the returns of the market through 2026, I believe.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891478498,"gmtCreate":1628420179314,"gmtModify":1703506092328,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/891478498","repostId":"1159872041","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159872041","pubTimestamp":1628385224,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1159872041?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-08 09:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock: Headed to $1,200?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159872041","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Tesla deliveries more than doubled year over year in Q2.Rising demand for electric vehicles could benefit Tesla.Investors should exercise caution when it comes to analysts' price targets.It's been a wild year for Teslastock.

Stock Futures Rise on Earnings Optimism</b></h3>\n<p>Stock futures were rising modestly Thursday as optimism about earnings and the economic recovery&nbsp;outweighed Wall Street's concerns about rising inflation and surging coronavirus cases.</p>\n<p>Contracts linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 84 points, S&amp;P 500 futures were up 8 points and Nasdaq futures gained 26 points.</p>\n<p>The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury rose early Thursday to 1.287%. Yields dropped below 1.2% earlier this week as traders pared bets on any near-term moves on interest rates from the Federal Reserve.</p>\n<p>“The delta variant of [COVID-19] remains an ever-present downside risk for the markets in the near-term,” said Craig Erlam ofOanda, “but as long as inflation remains only a temporary problem, it also keeps central bank hawks at bay.”</p>\n<p>President Joe Biden, at a town hall in Cincinnati hosted by CNN,&nbsp;said Wednesday night \"there will be near-term inflation\" as the economy recovers but said he has been advised by his economic team that current price increases won't last as demand returns to normal levels.</p>\n<p>Stocks finished higher on Wednesday&nbsp;as investors were encouraged by solid earnings reports.&nbsp;About 86% of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 that already have reported earnings have topped analysts' expectations, according to Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>Rallies on Wall Street both Tuesday and Wednesday recouped the losses from Monday's steep selloff.</p>\n<h3><b>2. Thursday's Calendar: Intel, AT&amp;T and Twitter Earnings</b></h3>\n<p>Earnings reports are expected Thursday from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABT\">Abbott Laboratories</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">AT&amp;T Inc</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UNP\">Union Pacific</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIIB\">Biogen</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FCX\">Freeport-McMoRan</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DOW\">Dow Chemical</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LUV\">Southwest Airlines</a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAL\">American Airlines</a>.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;economic calendar&nbsp;in the U.S. Thursday includes weekly Jobless Claims at 8:30 a.m. ET and&nbsp;Existing Home Sales for June at 10 a.m.</p>\n<h3><b>3. Bitcoin Gets Boost From Musk, Wood and Dorsey</b></h3>\n<p>Bitcoin rose to near $32,000, led higher by positive comments about the world's largest cryptocurrency from&nbsp;Elon Musk,&nbsp;Jack Dorsey and Cathie Wood.</p>\n<p>Musk, CEO of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla Motors</a>,&nbsp;said theelectric vehicle company might soon again accept Bitcoin for vehicle purchases.</p>\n<p>“It looks like Bitcoin is shifting a lot more toward renewables and a bunch of the heavy-duty coal plants that were being used ... have been shut down, especially in China,” said Musk at a Bitcoin conference.</p>\n<p>“I want to do a little more due diligence to confirm that the percentage of renewable energy usage is most likely at or above 50% and that there is a trend toward increasing that number. If so, Tesla will most likely resume accepting bitcoin,” he said.</p>\n<p>ARK Invest's Wood&nbsp;said companies&nbsp;should consider adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin rose 3.11% on Thursday to $31,834. It has gained more than 10.43% year to date.</p>\n<h3><b>4. Activision Is Sued for 'Frat Boy' Culture, Harassment</b></h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ATVI\">Activision Blizzard</a>, the maker of video games such as&nbsp;“Call of Duty” and “World of Warcraft,”&nbsp;was accused in a lawsuit of fostering a “frat boy” culture, including years-long harassment and sexual bias against female employees.</p>\n<p>The lawsuit was filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.</p>\n<p>Female employees make up about 20% of the Activision workforce. They are subjected to \"cube crawls\" in which male employees \"drink copious [amounts] of alcohol as they ‘crawl’ their way through various cubicles in the office and often engage in inappropriate behavior toward female employees,\" the complaint said.</p>\n<p>The lawsuit also alleged that female employees were paid and promoted less than their male coworkers.</p>\n<p>“We value diversity and strive to foster a workplace that offers inclusivity for everyone. There is no place in our company or industry, or any industry, for sexual misconduct or harassment of any kind,” said a statement from Activision Blizzard. “We take every allegation seriously and investigate all claims. In cases related to misconduct, action was taken to address the issue,”</p>\n<p>“The DFEH includes distorted, and in many cases false,&nbsp;descriptions of Blizzard’s past,\" the company added.</p>\n<p>The stock fell slightly in premarket trading.</p>\n<h3><b>5. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CEMI\">Chembio Diagnostics</a> Extends Sharp Gains</b></h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CEMI\">Chembio Diagnostics</a>&nbsp;extended sharp gains in premarket trading Thursday after the&nbsp;medical diagnostics company&nbsp;received a $28.3 million purchase orderfrom Bio-Manguinhos for SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests in Brazil.</p>\n<p>The test is designed to detect the COVID-19 pathogen in only 20 minutes using a \"minimally invasive\" nasal swab.</p>\n<p>Chembio shares rose 7.3% to $5.73 in premarket trading. The stock soared more than 159% on Wednesday to close at $5.34.</p>\n<p>Investors on StockTwits were cheering the surge in Chembio shares. \"With this much volume I am thinking we hit high 7s before any dip!!!!!

Stock Futures Rise on Earnings Optimism\nStock futures were rising modestly Thursday as optimism about earnings and the economic recovery outweighed Wall Street's concerns about rising inflation and surging coronavirus cases.\nContracts linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 84 points, S&P 500 futures were up 8 points and Nasdaq futures gained 26 points.\nThe yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury rose early Thursday to 1.287%.

Thursday's Calendar: Intel, AT&T and Twitter Earnings\nEarnings reports are expected Thursday from Intel, Abbott Laboratories, AT&T Inc, Union Pacific, Snap Inc, Twitter, Biogen, Freeport-McMoRan, Dow Chemical, Southwest Airlines and American Airlines.\nThe economic calendar in the U.S. Thursday includes weekly Jobless Claims at 8:30 a.m. ET and Existing Home Sales for June at 10 a.m.\n3. Bitcoin Gets Boost From Musk, Wood and Dorsey\nBitcoin rose to near $32,000, led higher by positive comments about the world's largest cryptocurrency from Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey and Cathie Wood.\nMusk, CEO of Tesla Motors, said theelectric vehicle company might soon again accept Bitcoin for vehicle purchases.\n“It looks like Bitcoin is shifting a lot more toward renewables and a bunch of the heavy-duty coal plants that were being used ... have been shut down, especially in China,” said Musk at a Bitcoin conference.\n“I want to do a little more due diligence to confirm that the percentage of renewable energy usage is most likely at or above 50% and that there is a trend toward increasing that number. If so, Tesla will most likely resume accepting bitcoin,” he said.\nARK Invest's Wood said companies should consider adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.\nBitcoin rose 3.11% on Thursday to $31,834. It has gained more than 10.43% year to date.\n4. Activision Is Sued for 'Frat Boy' Culture, Harassment\nActivision Blizzard, the maker of video games such as “Call of Duty” and “World of Warcraft,” was accused in a lawsuit of fostering a “frat boy” culture, including years-long harassment and sexual bias against female employees.\nThe lawsuit was filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.\nFemale employees make up about 20% of the Activision workforce. They are subjected to \"cube crawls\" in which male employees \"drink copious [amounts] of alcohol as they ‘crawl’ their way through various cubicles in the office and often engage in inappropriate behavior toward female employees,\" the complaint said.\nThe lawsuit also alleged that female employees were paid and promoted less than their male coworkers.\n“We value diversity and strive to foster a workplace that offers inclusivity for everyone. There is no place in our company or industry, or any industry, for sexual misconduct or harassment of any kind,” said a statement from Activision Blizzard. “We take every allegation seriously and investigate all claims. In cases related to misconduct, action was taken to address the issue,”\n“The DFEH includes distorted, and in many cases false, descriptions of Blizzard’s past,\" the company added.\nThe stock fell slightly in premarket trading.\n5. Chembio Diagnostics Extends Sharp Gains\nChembio Diagnostics extended sharp gains in premarket trading Thursday after the medical diagnostics company received a $28.3 million purchase orderfrom Bio-Manguinhos for SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests in Brazil.\nThe test is designed to detect the COVID-19 pathogen in only 20 minutes using a \"minimally invasive\" nasal swab.\nChembio shares rose 7.3% to $5.73 in premarket trading. The stock soared more than 159% on Wednesday to close at $5.34.\nInvestors on StockTwits were cheering the surge in Chembio shares. \"With this much volume I am thinking we hit high 7s before any dip!!!!! LETS GO!\" said one commenter.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":173519551,"gmtCreate":1626668890873,"gmtModify":1703763046839,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Noted","listText":"Noted","text":"Noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/173519551","repostId":"2152633674","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152633674","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1626664993,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2152633674?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-19 11:23","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"HK-listed Consun Pharma jumps most in nearly 4 months on WuXi AppTec agreement","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152633674","media":"Reuters","summary":"** Shares of Consun Pharmaceutical Group Ltd rise 8.7% to HK$5.47, biggest intraday jump since March","content":"<p>** Shares of Consun Pharmaceutical Group Ltd rise 8.7% to HK$5.47, biggest intraday jump since March 23</p>\n<p>** Stock among 30 top gainers on the Hong Kong bourse, hits highest since June 11</p>\n<p>** Guangdong-based co says its unit has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with WuXi AppTec (Shanghai) Co Ltd, a subsidiary of WuXi AppTec Co Ltd , for R&amp;D of certain innovative drugs and other new drugs for use in treating kidney disease ()</p>\n<p>** Hong Kong shares of Wuxi AppTec climbs 0.4% while Shanghai shares rise 1.8%</p>\n<p>** The Hong Kong Hang Seng Commerce &amp;

Regulators are seeing power slipping away between their fingers like sand, and they are going to try to grab it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":360,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807783787,"gmtCreate":1628057923349,"gmtModify":1703500435049,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I see","listText":"I see","text":"I see","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807783787","repostId":"1164127306","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804522990,"gmtCreate":1627966118110,"gmtModify":1703498769524,"author":{"id":"3585205825397095","authorId":"3585205825397095","name":"Benj90","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3585205825397095","authorIdStr":"3585205825397095"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okay","listText":"Okay","text":"Okay","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/804522990","repostId":"1119293992","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119293992","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":1627963162,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119293992?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-03 11:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Google sets all-time records as search and YouTube profits soar","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119293992","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Google delivered turbocharged sales growth in the past quarter, underscoring its status as the world","content":"<p>Google delivered turbocharged sales growth in the past quarter, underscoring its status as the world’s most potent advertising engine.

Alphabet said YouTube booked $7 billion in ad revenue last quarter. That's up 83% from the year-ago quarter. Compare that to the $7.34 billion in revenue Netflix booked during the same period. Netflix's revenue grew 19.4% from a year ago.</p>\n<p>Also, practically all of Netflix's revenue comes from subscriptions. Alphabet only reports YouTube's advertising revenue, not revenue from subscription products like YouTube TV and YouTube Premium.</p>\n<p>YouTube's television viewing is growing faster than ever.

Philipp Schindler, Google's chief business officer, said on the company's earnings call Tuesday YouTube on TV is \"the fastest growing consumer surface that we have.\"</p>\n<p>It’s the strongest signal yet that YouTube is encroaching on Netflix (209 million subscribers as of the end of June) and Disney+’s (103.6 million subscribers as of April 3) territory in the living room.</p>\n<p>Nielsen says more people are watching YouTube and Netflix than any other streaming service. Research firm Nielsen released a fascinating study last month showing far more people still watch traditional television than streaming video.</p>\n<p>But Nielsen’s data also had an interesting ranking of time spent streaming on various services. YouTube and Netflix were the top two streamers, with each service accounting for 6% of time spent watching television.</p>\n<p>YouTube’s TikTok rival is also growing. Short-form video is the dominant trend on social media today, with TikTok leading the charge. YouTube has its own short-form video service, YouTube Shorts, designed to compete with TikTok. Alphabet didn’t disclose how many people are using YouTube shorts but said viewing metrics jumped from 6.5 billion views per day in March to 15 billion views per day by the end of last quarter.</p>\n<p>More room to grow. Nielsen’s report last month showed there’s still plenty of room for all streamers to grow as more people migrate away from traditional linear TV.

Perhaps the first being,with only about 2% of the U.S. smartphone market&nbsp;and no real sign of that changing, does a bet like this make sense?</p>\n<p>While much of the analysis of this news pointed to it as a positive step for AlphabetGOOG,+0.21%,I interpreted it as a desperate attempt for the company to make headlines about its poor-performing line of mobile devices and to do so by taking a risk that even AppleAAPL,+1.26%isn’t yet willing to take when it comes to its vertical integration into semiconductors.</p>\n<p><b>Apple’s foreshadowing</b></p>\n<p>Apple made headlines over the past few years with its departure from Intel&nbsp;and the introduction of its M1 architecture. This transition from Intel to homegrown processors built on the increasingly popular Arm architecture was done methodically over several years to ensure that the change would go smoothly. For the most part, the M1 launched without significant incident, but its critics would be the first to point out that the transition was anything but flawless.</p>\n<p>It’s also worth pointing out that Apple, while it has incorporated a number of its cores to handle capabilities like image sensing and graphics, has left the modem and radio, oft-referred to as RFFE, to Qualcomm,due to the complexity of building a modem-RF system for 5G, which is incredibly complicated and proper function is imperative to get devices certified by different carriers like Verizon,AT&amp;T,T-Mobile&nbsp;and others.</p>\n<p>For some reason that I simply cannot understand, Alphabet wants to abandon not only the Qualcomm Snapdragon, which most simply can be considered the full set of systems to power all the phones features, and ditch it for its own set of cores, but allegedly also abandon Qualcomm’s proven modem-RF system to use (rumored) Samsung’s Exynos, which has almost zero market penetration and has run into issues with power management and carrier certification. Even Samsung uses Qualcomm’s modem-RF system for large portions of its flagship devices, including its U.S. flagship devices. Apple does as well.</p>\n<p>Returning us to the question: What in the world is Alphabet doing here, and does it make any sense?</p>\n<p><b>Vertical integration</b></p>\n<p>The short answer is yes, and no, but mostly no. At least for Alphabet.</p>\n<p>The argument to favor this change comes down to profitability and control for Alphabet. Apple has proven that deeper vertical integration can be lucrative, and its Bionic chips have continued to improve with each generation. Alphabet, which has built a very limited set of custom ASICs (application specific integrated circuits) for artificial intelligence (AI), wants the market to see it as every bit as capable of this type of move as Apple.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, we have seen Amazon’s&nbsp;AWS and Alibaba&nbsp;build Arm-based solutions for their cloud offerings, and Microsoft&nbsp;has also been touted to be following suit.

Apple did something similar and had a difficult transition\n(Photo credit should read Alain Jocard/AFP via Getty Images)\nAlphabet said Monday it will take its silicon building in-house when it launches a new flagship line of Google Pixel phones.\nThe company’s move creates as many questions as it does answers. Perhaps the first being,with only about 2% of the U.S. smartphone market and no real sign of that changing, does a bet like this make sense?\nWhile much of the analysis of this news pointed to it as a positive step for AlphabetGOOG,+0.21%,I interpreted it as a desperate attempt for the company to make headlines about its poor-performing line of mobile devices and to do so by taking a risk that even AppleAAPL,+1.26%isn’t yet willing to take when it comes to its vertical integration into semiconductors.\nApple’s foreshadowing\nApple made headlines over the past few years with its departure from Intel and the introduction of its M1 architecture. This transition from Intel to homegrown processors built on the increasingly popular Arm architecture was done methodically over several years to ensure that the change would go smoothly. For the most part, the M1 launched without significant incident, but its critics would be the first to point out that the transition was anything but flawless.\nIt’s also worth pointing out that Apple, while it has incorporated a number of its cores to handle capabilities like image sensing and graphics, has left the modem and radio, oft-referred to as RFFE, to Qualcomm,due to the complexity of building a modem-RF system for 5G, which is incredibly complicated and proper function is imperative to get devices certified by different carriers like Verizon,AT&T,T-Mobile and others.\nFor some reason that I simply cannot understand, Alphabet wants to abandon not only the Qualcomm Snapdragon, which most simply can be considered the full set of systems to power all the phones features, and ditch it for its own set of cores, but allegedly also abandon Qualcomm’s proven modem-RF system to use (rumored) Samsung’s Exynos, which has almost zero market penetration and has run into issues with power management and carrier certification. Even Samsung uses Qualcomm’s modem-RF system for large portions of its flagship devices, including its U.S. flagship devices. Apple does as well.\nReturning us to the question: What in the world is Alphabet doing here, and does it make any sense?\nVertical integration\nThe short answer is yes, and no, but mostly no. At least for Alphabet.\nThe argument to favor this change comes down to profitability and control for Alphabet. Apple has proven that deeper vertical integration can be lucrative, and its Bionic chips have continued to improve with each generation. Alphabet, which has built a very limited set of custom ASICs (application specific integrated circuits) for artificial intelligence (AI), wants the market to see it as every bit as capable of this type of move as Apple.\nFurthermore, we have seen Amazon’s AWS and Alibaba build Arm-based solutions for their cloud offerings, and Microsoft has also been touted to be following suit. For the data center, this seems to make sense, with AWS, for instance, seeing success from its Graviton line of CPUs and Trainium series of ML chips. No one would be surprised to see Alphabet significantly increase its efforts to launch or further enhance custom silicon development for its cloud and AI offerings. But servers, and even notebooks, aren’t mobile devices.\nTo launch the M1, Apple spent years on R&D and made several key acquisitions, including Dialog Semiconductor in 2018 for $600 million to add to its internal chipmaking and systems capabilities. It even acquired the remnants of Intel’s mobile modem business upon deciding to move away from Intel on the horizon of 5G.
