stocks are so-named because of their ability to brave through multiple economic cycles.Such stocks qualify as a dependable layer of stocks to serve as the bedrock of investors’ portfolios.In addition to remaining resilient in the face of economic headwinds, most blue-chip stocks also dish out a dividend.This source of passive income, coupled with the peace of mind afforded by this category of stocks, makes them a popular choice for many investors.Here are four Singapore blue-chip stocks that could be perfect for your portfolio.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39)OCBC is Singapore’s second-largest bank by market capitalisation.The lender offers a comprehensive range of services including banking, insurance, and investments for both individuals and corporations.OCBC released a sparkling set of earnings for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).Net interest income rose 4% year on year to S$2.4 billion for the quarter.Total income increased by 8% year on year to S$3.6 billion while operating profit improved by the same quantum to S$2.3 billion.Net profit rose 5% year on year to a record high of S$1.98 billion.OCBC not only reported its highest-ever quarterly profit but has also been steadily increasing its annual dividend.From 2020 to 2023, its yearly dividend increased from S$0.318 to S$0.82.CEO Helen Wong remains confident about the year ahead and believes that the group is on track to deliver on its strategic initiatives.The bank recently made an offer to purchase the remaining shares of Great Eastern Holdings (SGX: G07) that it does not own.If successful, the insurer will help to enhance OCBC’s profits and improve its return on equity.Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX: S63)Singapore Technologies Engineering, or STE, is a technology and engineering group with customers across the aerospace, smart city, defence, and public security sectors.The group announced a robust set of earnings for 2023 with revenue rising nearly 12% year on year to S$10.1 billion.Operating profit increased by 24% year on year to S$915 million but would have been higher by 40% year on year at S$946 million if one-off items were excluded.Net profit excluding one-off items shot up 24% year on year to S$610 million.STE declared a final dividend of S$0.04, taking 2023’s total dividend to S$0.16.The engineering group’s 1Q 2024 saw this momentum continue.Revenue was 18% higher year on year at S$2.7 billion with two of its major divisions, Commercial Aerospace and Defence & Public Security, registering double-digit year-on-year revenue growth.STE secured contract wins of S$3 billion for 1Q 2024 which helped to propel its order book to S$27.7 billion as of 31 March 2024.Of this order book, S$6.5 billion is expected to be delivered for the rest of this year.CapitaLand Investment Limited (SGX: 9CI)CapitaLand Investment Limited, or CLI, is a global real estate manager with assets under management (AUM) of S$134 billion and funds under management (FUM) of almost S$100 billion as of 31 December 2023.The group reported a steady set of earnings for 2023 with a slight 3.2% year on year dip in revenue to S$2.8 billion.Its fee income-related business (FRB) revenue, however, improved by 8.7% year on year to S$1.1 billion.Core net profit declined by 6.7% year on year to S$568 million but CLI kept its core final dividend of S$0.12 constant from the previous year.1Q 2024 saw its FRB revenue increase by 7% year on year to S$274 million.CLI is also advancing on its capital recycling strategy with S$464 million of assets divested in 1Q 2024, sharply higher than the S$6 million sold off a year ago.The property group targets to increase its FUM to S$200 billion in five years.Meanwhile, CLI’s lodging management (LM) division also saw an improved performance as air travel and tourism recovered.LM’s fee-related earnings rose 8% year on year to S$82 million for the quarter with more than 4,600 units signed across 22 properties.Venture Corporation Limited (SGX: V01)Venture Corporation is a provider of technology products, services, and solutions and serves a variety of different sectors such as life sciences, genomics, healthcare, networking, and communications.The semiconductor sector is going through a cyclical downturn now, causing the group to report a near-27% year-on-year fall in net profit to S$270 million for 2023.Despite the weaker results, Venture still maintained its full-year dividend of S$0.75 per share.The contract manufacturing giant also generated a positive free cash flow of S$473.9 million, double the S$236.4 million churned out in 2022.1Q 2024 saw continued weakness with revenue falling nearly 19% year on year to S$666.7 million and net profit tumbling by 18.3% year on year to S$60.1 million.Management sees a better performance in the second half of 2024 compared to the first.Based on customers’ feedback, demand is strengthening in several technology domains, a good sign that the downturn may be easing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":316303809958048,"gmtCreate":1718252319800,"gmtModify":1718252324942,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please

stocks are known for their resilience during different economic cycles.Their large size and long track record make them outstanding candidates to own for peace of mind.To top it off, most blue-chip stocks also pay out a dividend, helping investors generate a useful source of passive income.However, sentiment can sometimes lead to depressed valuations even for blue-chip stocks.Here are three solid blue-chip stocks that we believe are too cheap to ignore.Hongkong Land HoldingsHongkong Land Holdings, or HKL, is a property development, management, and investment group.The property giant owns and manages more than 850,000 square metres of prime luxury retail and commercial properties in Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Jakarta.For 2023, the group reported an underlying net profit of US$734 million, down 5% year on year.However, the property developer maintained its annual dividend of US$0.22 per share despite the slightly weaker results.HKL’s net asset value (NAV) stood at US$14.49 per share as of 31 December 2023.At the share price of US$3.42, the group is trading at just 0.24 times its book value.HKL provided an interim management statement and business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).Its underlying net profit remained the same as the corresponding period in 2023 with contributions from both investment and development properties largely unchanged.However, the group is facing tough conditions in China where buyer sentiment towards the residential sector has deteriorated.The attributable interest in contracted sales plunged by 36% year on year with profit margins also impacted by reduced sale prices across many projects.Management is taking an extensive review of these projects and HKL will incur a non-cash impairment charge of US$200 million to US$300 million for the first half of 2024 (1H 2024).Over in Hong Kong, leasing demand was negatively impacted by uncertainty in global markets with physical committed vacancy coming in at 6.6%.Rental reversions also continue to be negative.The bright spot is Singapore, where rental reversions are positive because of tight supply and a flight to quality.Committed physical vacancy remained low at just 1% compared with 0.9% at the end of 2023.Genting SingaporeGenting Singapore owns and operates the integrated resort (IR) at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).The IR features six hotels with around 1,600 hotel rooms, a casino, one of the world’s largest aquariums (S.E.A. Aquarium), a Universal Studios Singapore (USS) theme park, and numerous dining, retail, and entertainment options.2023 saw a 40% year-on-year jump in revenue for the IR operator to S$2.4 billion as

just 14.7 times.Genting Singapore recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Sentosa Development Corporation, DBS Group (SGX: D05), and Singapore Tourism Board to establish the Sentosa Precinct Partnership.Such a collaboration should increase the appeal of RWS in the future.In line with the group’s plans for RWS 2.0, construction works for the new Minion Land attraction in USS, the

learn that a stock has fallen to its 52-week low.</p><p>However, investors may also view this event as an opportunity to scoop up shares at a bargain.</p><p>That said, it pays to dig deeper into the reasons for the stock’s poor share price performance to determine if it is because of fundamentals or is purely sentiment-driven.</p><p>If the problems plaguing the stock are temporary, then it could present an attractive buying opportunity.</p><p>Here are four Singapore stocks that fell to their year-lows that could end up on your buy watchlist.</p><h2 id=\"id_1320656830\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F34.SI\">Wilmar International</a></h2><p>Wilmar is a leading agribusiness group with an integrated business model that spans the entire agricultural commodity value chain.</p><p>The blue-chip group has over 1,000 manufacturing plants and an extensive distribution network covering around 50 countries and regions.</p><p>Shares of the company have declined by 11.6% year-to-date (YTD) are recently touched their 52-week low of S$3.07.</p><p>In late April, the group released a downbeat business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).</p><p>Revenue fell by 7.3% year on year to US$15.7 billion while net profit tumbled by 22.6% year on year to US$302.9 million.</p><p>Stripping out one-off items, Wilmar’s core net profit declined by 14% year on year to US$328.4 million.</p><p>Sales volume for both its Food Products and Feed &amp; Industrial Products divisions grew by 13.9% and 7% year on year, respectively.</p><p>However, lower commodity prices were responsible for the fall in revenue despite these healthy volume increases.</p><p>In line with the fall in net profit, operating cash flow also dipped by 17.4% year on year to US$1.8 billion.</p><p>Management expects the global economic outlook to remain uncertain through 2024 but expects the group’s results to remain “satisfactory” due to its integrated business model.</p><h2 id=\"id_3719810009\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/P34.SI\">Delfi</a></h2><p>Delfi is a manufacturer and distributor of branded consumer products such as chocolates and confectionary products that are sold in over 17 countries.</p><p>The group’s flagship brands in Indonesia include SilverQueen and Ceres and it also distributes a portfolio of well-known agency brands in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.</p><p>Delfi’s share price has declined by 21.2% YTD and the confectionary producer recently hit its 52-week low of S$0.85.</p><p>Late last month, the group released its 1Q 2024 business update that saw a downbeat set of earnings.</p><p>Net sales fell by 5.3% year on year to US$150.7 million due to management’s decision to reduce and refocus spending on trade promotions.</p><p>Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 8.5% year on year to US$23.3 million.</p><p>However, a bright spot was a slight increase in gross margin from 29.7% in 1Q 2023 to 30.2% in the current quarter.</p><p>Despite the weak results, Delfi maintained a sturdy balance sheet with US$66.7 million of cash and just US$18.3 million of debt as of 31 March 2024.</p><p>The group also generated a positive free cash flow of US$27 million, 7.3% higher than a year ago.</p><h2 id=\"id_2161468967\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ACV.SI\">Frasers Hospitality Trust</a></h2><p>Frasers Hospitality Trust, or FHT, is a hospitality trust with a portfolio of 14 assets in nine cities in Asia, Australia, and Europe.</p><p>These properties have an appraised value of around S$1.9 billion as of 30 September 2023.</p><p>FHT’s unit price has steadily fallen to its 52-week low of S$0.42 and the stock is down 14% YTD.</p><p>In early May, the hospitality trust released its first half of fiscal 2024 (1H FY2024) results ending 31 March 2024.</p><p>Gross revenue inched up 1.7% year on year to S$63.3 million as the trust saw travel recovery in most of its operating markets.</p><p>However, because of higher finance costs incurred as borrowings were refinanced in a higher interest rate environment, distributable income fell by 13.7% year on year to S$23.4 million.</p><p>As a result, distribution per stapled security (DPSS) also tumbled by 13.7% year on year to S$0.01091.</p><p>FHT’s aggregate leverage stood at 35.5% with an effective

always a shock to learn that a stock has fallen to its 52-week low.However, investors may also view this event as an opportunity to scoop up shares at a bargain.That said, it pays to dig deeper into the reasons for the stock’s poor share price performance to determine if it is because of fundamentals or is purely sentiment-driven.If the problems plaguing the stock are temporary, then it could present an attractive buying opportunity.Here are four Singapore stocks that fell to their year-lows that could end up on your buy watchlist.Wilmar InternationalWilmar is a leading agribusiness group with an integrated business model that spans the entire agricultural commodity value chain.The blue-chip group has over 1,000 manufacturing plants and an extensive distribution network covering around 50 countries and regions.Shares of the company have declined by 11.6% year-to-date (YTD) are recently touched their 52-week low of S$3.07.In late April, the group released a downbeat business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).Revenue fell by 7.3% year on year to US$15.7 billion while net profit tumbled by 22.6% year on year to US$302.9 million.Stripping out one-off items, Wilmar’s core net profit declined by 14% year on year to US$328.4 million.Sales volume for both its Food Products and Feed & Industrial Products divisions grew by 13.9% and 7% year on year, respectively.However, lower commodity prices were responsible for the fall in revenue despite these healthy volume increases.In line with the fall in net profit, operating cash flow also dipped by 17.4% year on year to US$1.8 billion.Management expects the global economic outlook to remain uncertain through 2024 but expects the group’s results to remain “satisfactory” due to its integrated business model.DelfiDelfi is a manufacturer and distributor of branded consumer products such as chocolates and confectionary products that are sold in over 17 countries.The group’s flagship brands in Indonesia include SilverQueen and Ceres and it also distributes a portfolio of well-known agency brands in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.Delfi’s share price has declined by 21.2% YTD and the confectionary producer recently hit its 52-week low of S$0.85.Late last month, the group released its 1Q 2024 business update that saw a downbeat set of earnings.Net sales fell by 5.3% year on year to US$150.7 million due to management’s decision to reduce and refocus spending on trade promotions.Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 8.5% year on year to US$23.3 million.However, a bright spot was a slight increase in gross margin from 29.7% in 1Q 2023 to 30.2% in the current quarter.Despite the weak results, Delfi maintained a sturdy balance sheet with US$66.7 million of cash and just US$18.3 million of debt as of 31 March 2024.The group also generated a positive free cash flow of US$27 million, 7.3% higher than a year ago.Frasers Hospitality TrustFrasers Hospitality Trust, or FHT, is a hospitality trust with a portfolio of 14 assets in nine cities in Asia, Australia, and Europe.These properties have an appraised value of around S$1.9 billion as of 30 September 2023.FHT’s unit price has steadily fallen to its 52-week low of S$0.42 and the stock is down 14% YTD.In early May, the hospitality trust released its first half of fiscal 2024 (1H FY2024) results ending 31 March 2024.Gross revenue inched up 1.7% year on year to S$63.3 million as the trust saw travel recovery in most of its operating markets.However, because of higher finance costs incurred as borrowings were refinanced in a higher interest rate environment, distributable income fell by 13.7% year on year to S$23.4 million.As a result, distribution per stapled security (DPSS) also tumbled by 13.7% year on year to S$0.01091.FHT’s aggregate leverage stood at 35.5% with an effective cost of borrowing of 3.4% for 1H FY2024.Looking ahead, the manager plans to enhance returns via proactive asset management while seeking to unlock value through opportunistic divestments.APAC RealtyAPAC Realty is a real estate services provider holding the exclusive ERA regional master franchise rights for 17 countries in Asia Pacific.The group is also one of Singapore’s largest real estate agencies with 8,891 advisors as of 1 January 2024.Shares of APAC Realty have fallen by 21% YTD to hit their 52-week low of S$0.40.The group released a downbeat set of earnings for 2023 with revenue falling by 21% year on year to S$557.3 million.Operating profit plunged by 62.4% year on year to S$13.5 million while net profit fell 55.7% year on year to S$11.8 million.The business also generated a positive free cash flow of S$16 million for 2023.A final dividend of S$0.014 was declared and paid out, nearly half of the S$0.0275 paid out in the prior year.In late April, APAC Realty announced its maiden foray into the Philippines with a franchise agreement signed with Upper Rooms Realty for Manila.Under this agreement, Upper Rooms can operate ERA member broker offices in Metro Manila for an initial 15-year term with effect from 4 May this year.The addition of the Philippines marks the 13th country in ERA’s Asia Pacific portfolio and 40th overall under the ERA global umbrella.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":310721020649480,"gmtCreate":1716865149226,"gmtModify":1716865152696,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tiger

C09)</h2><p>City Developments Limited, or CDL, is a property company with a network spanning 163 locations in 29 countries and regions.</p><p>Its diverse portfolio of real estate includes residences, offices, hotels, serviced apartments, retail malls, and integrated developments.</p><p>The group released an encouraging business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).</p><p>A total of 429 units were sold, bringing in sales revenue of S$736.8 million.</p><p>This performance was significantly better than 1Q 2023’s sale of just 88 units worth S$213.2 million and was driven by the launch of Lumina Grand, a 512-unit executive condominium in Bukit Batok.</p><p>CDL has also substantially sold its residential inventory in China.</p><p>Eling Palace is fully sold with Hong Leong City Center and Hongqiao Royal Lake enjoying sales of 92% and 91%, respectively.</p><p>The property giant plans to launch two new residential projects in the second half of 2024, Union Square Residences (366 units) and Champions Way (348 units).</p><p>In line with the group’s rejuvenation strategy, it will invest S$50 million in an asset enhancement initiative (AEI) for City Square Mall, which commenced

options.</p><p>The group reported a strong set of earnings for 1Q 2024 as tourism rebounded strongly in the North Asian region with the reopening of borders.</p><p>Revenue surged by 62% year on year to S$784.4 million while net profit soared 92% year on year to S$247.4 million.</p><p>There could be more to come for the IR operator.</p><p>In early May, RWS signed a memorandum of understanding with Sentosa Development Corporation, <strong>DBS Bank</strong> (SGX: D05), and Singapore Tourism Board, to establish a collaborative Sentosa Precinct Partnership.</p><p>This initiative, along with the hosting of the Asia premiere of Harry Potter: Visions of Magic later this year, should increase the IR’s appeal.</p><p>Elsewhere, construction works for the new Minion Land and the Singapore Oceanarium are on track and these two attractions are set to open in phases from 1Q 2025.</p><h2 id=\"id_1211299701\">Singtel (SGX: Z74) </h2><p>Singtel is Singapore’s largest telecommunication

2024.</p><p>Underlying net profit grew 10% year on year to S$2.3 billion and the telco hiked its FY2024 by 52% year on year to S$0.15.</p><p>Management will focus on lifting core performance at Singtel Singapore and Optus, its Australian subsidiary.</p><p>In addition, the telco also plans to scale up its growth engines Nxera, its data centre division, and build up its Paragon-X enterprise platform.</p><p>Aside from these moves, Singtel has also identified around S$6 billion of assets slated for recycling which will help the group to sustain its new value realisation dividend.</p><p>Singtel introduced ST28, a new growth plan to enhance customer experience and deliver sustainable value for shareholders.</p><p>This new long-term strategy will help the group to optimise its core business, scale its growth engines, and deploy capital expenditure which will be funded by external partners.</p><p>Over time, management aims to deliver growth in both profits and dividends to shareholders.</p><h2 id=\"id_4038523659\">Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX: S63)</h2><p>Singapore Technologies Engineering, or STE, is a technology, defence, and engineering group that serves customers across the aerospace, smart city, and public security sectors.</p><p>Revenue for 2023 rose 11.8% year on year to S$10.1 billion while operating profit jumped 24.4% year on year to S$914.7 million.</p><p>Underlying net profit after excluding one-off expenses shot up 24% year on year to S$610 million.</p><p>The momentum has carried over into 1Q 2024 as the group’s revenue was 18% higher than the previous year at S$2.7 billion.</p><p>STE snagged S$3 billion of new contracts in 1Q 2024, taking its order book to S$27.7 billion as of 31 March 2024.</p><p>Around S$6.5 billion of these contracts are expected to be delivered for the remainder of 2024.</p><p>Management is confident that its digital business can triple to more than S$500 million by 2026 as it focuses on cloud, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.</p></body></html>","source":"thesmartinvestor_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"

stocks are famed for their reputation and stellar track record through different economic cycles.For investors seeking stability and peace of mind, these stocks act as the bedrock for their portfolios.Blue-chip stocks that demonstrate the ability to grow their earnings and cash flows will be accorded higher share prices, thus bestowing capital gains to their investors.As a bonus, most blue-chip stocks also dish out reliable dividends.Here are four blue-chip stocks that could see their profits rise in line with catalysts for their business.City Developments Limited (SGX: C09)City Developments Limited, or CDL, is a property company with a network spanning 163 locations in 29 countries and regions.Its diverse portfolio of real estate includes residences, offices, hotels, serviced apartments, retail malls, and integrated developments.The group released an encouraging business update for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).A total of 429 units were sold, bringing in sales revenue of S$736.8 million.This performance was significantly better than 1Q 2023’s sale of just 88 units worth S$213.2 million and was driven by the launch of Lumina Grand, a 512-unit executive condominium in Bukit Batok.CDL has also substantially sold its residential inventory in China.Eling Palace is fully sold with Hong Leong City Center and Hongqiao Royal Lake enjoying sales of 92% and 91%, respectively.The property giant plans to launch two new residential projects in the second half of 2024, Union Square Residences (366 units) and Champions Way (348 units).In line with the group’s rejuvenation strategy, it will invest S$50 million in an asset enhancement initiative (AEI) for City Square Mall, which commenced in the third quarter of last year.Full completion is expected in the first half of 2025 for the two-phase AEI.Meanwhile, CDL also announced the completion of the acquisition of the Hilton Paris Opera Hotel, helping to add to its portfolio of hospitality properties.Genting Singapore (SGX: G13)Genting Singapore owns and operates the integrated resort (IR) at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).The IR boasts six hotels with around 1,600 rooms, a casino, a Universal Studios theme park, and numerous dining, retail, and entertainment options.The group reported a strong set of earnings for 1Q 2024 as tourism rebounded strongly in the North Asian region with the reopening of borders.Revenue surged by 62% year on year to S$784.4 million while net profit soared 92% year on year to S$247.4 million.There could be more to come for the IR operator.In early May, RWS signed a memorandum of understanding with Sentosa Development Corporation, DBS Bank (SGX: D05), and Singapore Tourism Board, to establish a collaborative Sentosa Precinct Partnership.This initiative, along with the hosting of the Asia premiere of Harry Potter: Visions of Magic later this year, should increase the IR’s appeal.Elsewhere, construction works for the new Minion Land and the Singapore Oceanarium are on track and these two attractions are set to open in phases from 1Q 2025.Singtel (SGX: Z74) Singtel is Singapore’s largest telecommunication company and offers a comprehensive range of mobile, pay TV, and broadband services.The telco reported a resilient set of earnings for its fiscal 2024 (FY2024) ending 31 March 2024.Underlying net profit grew 10% year on year to S$2.3 billion and the telco hiked its FY2024 by 52% year on year to S$0.15.Management will focus on lifting core performance at Singtel Singapore and Optus, its Australian subsidiary.In addition, the telco also plans to scale up its growth engines Nxera, its data centre division, and build up its Paragon-X enterprise platform.Aside from these moves, Singtel has also identified around S$6 billion of assets slated for recycling which will help the group to sustain its new value realisation dividend.Singtel introduced ST28, a new growth plan to enhance customer experience and deliver sustainable value for shareholders.This new long-term strategy will help the group to optimise its core business, scale its growth engines, and deploy capital expenditure which will be funded by external partners.Over time, management aims to deliver growth in both profits and dividends to shareholders.Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX: S63)Singapore Technologies Engineering, or STE, is a technology, defence, and engineering group that serves customers across the aerospace, smart city, and public security sectors.Revenue for 2023 rose 11.8% year on year to S$10.1 billion while operating profit jumped 24.4% year on year to S$914.7 million.Underlying net profit after excluding one-off expenses shot up 24% year on year to S$610 million.The momentum has carried over into 1Q 2024 as the group’s revenue was 18% higher than the previous year at S$2.7 billion.STE snagged S$3 billion of new contracts in 1Q 2024, taking its order book to S$27.7 billion as of 31 March 2024.Around S$6.5 billion of these contracts are expected to be delivered for the remainder of 2024.Management is confident that its digital business can triple to more than S$500 million by 2026 as it focuses on cloud, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":306353575571696,"gmtCreate":1715828609186,"gmtModify":1715828613275,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can

income.</p><p>OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.</p><p>OCBC managed to

we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).</p><p>The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.</p><p>For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.</p><p>Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.</p><p>DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.</p><p>OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2998773557\">Cost-to-income ratio (CIR)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img

bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).</p><p>The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.</p><p>OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.</p><p>While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2

tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>Moving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.</p><p>As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.</p><p>Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2373484926\">Return on equity (ROE)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2f645e00df00f75093db4ccab3ceacf1\" tg-width=\"801\" tg-height=\"221\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>A bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.</p><p>On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).</p><p>OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.</p><p><strong>Winner: DBS</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_3580577200\">Valuation</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dafa1f900a970d465b08c1d1aaeafa2b\" tg-width=\"798\" tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>When it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.</p><p>UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.</p><p><strong>Winner: UOB</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2844377570\">Get Smart: A tough choice</h2><p>A clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.</p><p>While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.</p><p>Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.</p><p>Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.</p><p>For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.</p><p>Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind.

profit, DBS is the clear winner with a near-15% year on year rise to S$2.95 billion as expenses rose less than total income.OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.OCBC managed to improve its net profit for 1Q 2024 by 5% year on year to nearly S$2 billion.Winner: DBSLoan book and net interest margin (NIM)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsNext, we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.Winner: OCBCCost-to-income ratio (CIR)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsThe next metric to look at is each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.Winner: OCBCNon-performing loans (NPL) ratioSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsMoving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.Winner: OCBCReturn on equity (ROE)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsA bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.Winner: DBSValuationSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsWhen it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.Winner: UOBGet Smart: A tough choiceA clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind.

Similarly, it faces very limited competition within DUV, both platforms vital for semiconductor manufacturing. The household names within the semiconductor industry belong to the manufacturers, but the machinery providers, such as ASML, command very strong moats through extensive technological knowledge and strong process knowledge leaving all potential competitors years behind if they should ever try to compete.</p>\n<p>It's hard to think of a better competitive situation, especially when operating in a sector forecasted to grow well above general GDP for many years to come. However, the market has long since recognized ASML's outstanding potential and potential journey, but still, it could be underestimating the potential.</p>\n<p><b>Introduction</b></p>\n<p>I recently wrote an article concerning how youcan’t own too much semiconductor exposure. Having decomposed the value chain for semiconductor manufacturing, I received a number of questions concerning ASML in the comment sections and decided to conduct this follow-up. I’ve selected ASML due to its unique marketplace position and potential.</p>\n<p>Personally I have exposure to the manufacturing level of the semiconductor value chain through shares in both Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) and Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), but venturing further back into the value chain, and investors can be allowed to invest in a broader manner into the industry, as the suppliers of machinery and software obtain a broader exposure to most of the manufacturers making it immensely interesting as you can adopt the mantra of “I don’t really mind who wins, as long as they are racing”. As such, potential exposure upstream in the value chain carries great interest.</p>\n<p><b>The Marketplace and Value Drivers For Years To Come</b></p>\n<p>For ASML followers it’s no surprise at this point, but ASML is dominant within the product offering that will drive its revenue for the coming decade, EUV (Extreme ultraviolet lithography) technology. My personal take is that it is hard to find a company in a similarly advantageous competitive position anywhere in any industry. ASML provides equipment for lithography, the art of printing the chip features via light sources, in several light spectrums with its most advanced being EUV which is the next-gen to DUV (deep ultraviolet lithography). For DUV there are competitors albeit ASML has a massive market share above 85%. The difference between DUV and EUV is that EUV operates at a light wavelength almost 15 times smaller than DUV (13.5nm compared to 193nm).</p>\n<p>Actually, the semiconductor manufacturers for the leading edge chips such as 5nm and soon to be 3nm are deeply dependent on the EUV machinery. Without it, it simply wouldn’t be possible. That sounds like a pretty good bargain for those who can manufacture these machines, but there is only one company that is able to do it, and that is ASML. For every generation of new EUV machinery, its yield becomes better with higher throughput and reduced downtime issues, meaning that ASML is effectively lightyears ahead of anyone who would try to pick up the gauntlet and challenge their dominant position.</p>\n<p>This is an industry where everything is about process knowledge. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is able to produce 5nm chips because it was able to produce 7nm, and it will be able to produce 3nm because it can produce 5nm and has done that a million times over which is also why it was so detrimental to Intel Corp (INTC) that it had to acknowledge its persistent issues with the 7nm technology.</p>\n<p>Quite simply, there is no 3nm if you can’t do the 5nm, as also discussed in my previous article. Same goes for ASML as a competitor would be years and years behind ASML if they entered the EUV space as they would struggle with the same issues that have plagued ASML in its early days of EUV more than a decade ago. I’ve included a number of illustrations from their most recent investor day which took place in November 2018, with the next one to take place in September 2021.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edaa6b5a77f99726bbae61b032b9c208\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 6.</span></p>\n<p>The picture above clearly illustrates the process knowledge having been picked up by ASML throughout its EUV lifetime. This has also translated into better EUV machinery for each new generation as also evident by its productivity improvements. Again, I can’t imagine a more favourable competitive situation for a company, given how much time and capital it would require for a competitor to adopt the EUV technology.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85913766aea721e218e976e4f73349e5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 16.</span></p>\n<p>Semiconductor manufacturing is a cutthroat business with heavy R&amp;D spend (it took ASML €6 billion in R&amp;D spend to invent EUV) driving chip improvements according to Moore’s law, meaning that ASML is already working on the next-gen technology, referred to as High NA-EUV. High NA-EUV is still some time away, with the timeline below being slightly outdated, but its technology will significantly improve the EUV platform and power the industry beyond this decade. It takes time to develop the technology, improve yield and reduce downtime, but there is still plenty of opportunities for EUV in terms of marketplace expansion and margin improvement.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7709f0f76b1619a31b32fc3330134005\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 21.</span></p>\n<p>ASML itself has laid out the expected path in terms of optimised margins through both add-ons facing the buyer side and upstream cost reductions facing their suppliers creating a sweet spot for the company effectively striving to achieve the same profitability profile as for its more mature DUV platform.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/809661531ad423f613fb44c26e0b3352\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"353\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 25.</span></p>\n<p>If that wasn’t good enough, then add the fact that the semiconductor industry in general is expected to outpace general GDP for at least until 2028 with a CAGR of 8.6%. Recentcommunicationsby Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel and Samsung Electronics Company (OTC:SSNLF) shows the strength and growth potential for the sector with their combined CAPEX expectations going beyond $200 billion for the coming decade, with a significant chunk of that within the coming years.</p>\n<p>As can be seen in the illustration above, ASML expects increased customer value through upgrades, with their roadmap for DUV serving as an example in terms of how the revenue base could expand over the coming years for EUV as is the case for DUV via what the company has labelled installed base management.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8ef7940a4b888c50159e5b9db4c0634\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, DUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 10.</span></p>\n<p>There is of course always the possibility of a serious contender entering the marketplace in order to try and challenge ASML, but companies have tried to enter the space when the technology was in its infancy having given up, meaning the prime threat would be the emergence of a new lithography technology arriving and doing to EUV what EUV did to DUV. Possible sure, likely, not so much. Just to hammer down the point, I’ve inserted a paragraph from ASML’s own description of how lithography plays its role.</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Lithography is a driving force in the creation of more powerful, faster and cheaper chips. The manufacturing of chips becomes increasingly complex as semiconductor feature sizes shrink, while the imperative to mass produce at the right cost remains. Our holistic lithography product portfolio helps to optimize production and enable affordable shrink by integrating lithography systems with computational modeling, as well as metrology and inspection solutions. A lithography system is essentially a projection system. Light is projected through a blueprint of the pattern that will be printed (known as a ‘mask’ or ‘reticle’). With the pattern encoded in the light, the system’s optics shrink and focus the pattern onto a photosensitive silicon wafer. After the pattern is printed, the system moves the wafer slightly and makes another copy on the wafer. This process is repeated until the wafer is covered in patterns, completing one layer of the wafer’s chips. To make an entire microchip, this process is repeated layer after layer, stacking the patterns to create an integrated circuit (IC). The simplest chips have around 10 layers, while the most complex can have over 150 layers. The size of the features to be printed varies depending on the layer, which means that different types of lithography systems are used for different layers – our latest-generation EUV systems for the most critical layers with the smallest features to ArF, KrF, and i-line DUV systems for less critical layers with larger features.</i>”\n <i>ASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa32572971943844c4e71ddfc77559d6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"547\"><span>ASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.</span></p>\n<p>I believe most investors are familiar with confirmation bias, and if they aren’t, they should grab a book and educate themselves. Having read through this section, it can easily sound as if I as the author is suffering from confirmation bias given how strongly I’ve advocated for ASML’s position and competitive power. However, I’ve striven towards identifying situations that could severely impact ASML and being honest I can’t find it. There are of course the risks associated with geopolitical tension, which also showed itself in the stock price back in 2016, the risk of supply chain disruption as is currently transpiring across the industry and competition for talent. These are touched upon by the company itself in their annual report 2020 p. 21 and no industry comes without potential risks.</p>\n<p>So, to sum it all up:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>ASML has pioneered EUV lithography, with no competitors in sight</li>\n <li>EUV will enable the continuation of Moore’s Law and will drive long term value for ASML and its customers well into this decade</li>\n <li>The semiconductor sector forecasted to grow at CAGR of 8.6% through 2028, outpacing general GDP with ASML being a key supplier to the manufacturers (foundries)</li>\n <li>Strong industry CAPEX driving demand for ASML offerings</li>\n <li>The path forward for expanding EUV business in terms of installed base management, margins improvement and manufacturer dependency on EUV machinery for leading edge chips</li>\n <li>ASML is a crucial player for leading edge chip manufacturing</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Sounds pretty good to me.</p>\n<p>The Financial Performance and Development</p>\n<p>ASML is doing well for itself as evident by the illustration below.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Strong revenue growth</li>\n <li>Strong margin expansion</li>\n <li>Strong improvement in free cash flow</li>\n <li>Impressive operational improvements strengthening its moat through increased R&amp;D spend and IP portfolio</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7900753b1857ac9ad6fc705b9baad563\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"414\"><span>Annual Report 2020, p 7.</span></p>\n<p>This was followed by a strong Q1-2021 performance with mouth-watering financials on both top and bottom line.

An immensely hard question, but if we give it a look, I personally at least see the possibility of that being the case.</p>\n<p>Are Analyst Consensus Estimates Under- or Over-Estimating ASML’s Potential?</p>\n<p>ASML is well-covered by analysts offering estimates all the way through 2028, but with coverage waning once we go beyond 2025 which is the last year covered by more than one analyst. The current estimates show a revenue CAGR development of 11.1% from 2020 to 2028, but if we remove 2021, which shows stellar growth, the CAGR is 6.5%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9adf4cebbce28dc7433186b5bd0827e8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"377\"><span>Author's Own Creation, Source Seeking Alpha.</span></p>\n<p>Remember the sector as a whole is forecasted to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 8.6% through 2028. These are all estimates which carry great uncertainty with no one able to reliably predict the future. However, it is worth noticing that revenue estimates for ASML are below the sector as a whole if the massive jump from 2020 to 2021 is left out of the equation. Average revenue growth from 2026 to 2028 is currently estimated to be 3.5%.</p>\n<p>Considering some of the arguments in favour of why ASML’s outlook could be even more positive:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>General semiconductor industry CAGR 2020-2028 forecasted at 8.6%.</li>\n <li>DUV CAGR 2020-2025forecastedat 8.4%, it is still ASML’s largest product category.</li>\n <li>EUV CAGR 2020-2027forecastedat 12%.</li>\n <li>ASML is a linchpin player to solve chip shortage through technology advancement and its machines define the performance of every electrical gadget we utilise in our daily lives.</li>\n <li>ASML shows progress in its plan to widen the ecosystem for its machinery through \"Installed Base Management\" increasing the total addressable market by upwards of double digits percentage as 2018 sales were 20% installed base management and 2025 estimate is 50%.</li>\n <li>ASML dominates the DUV immersion segment, the part of DUV with high margins as its two solecompetitorsin DUV, Nikon and Canon lack the means and capabilities.</li>\n <li>As the market transitions to EUV, the demand for DUV willfollowas the chip stacking process benefits from both systems through its manufacturing.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This is without mentioning the potential price increases that could trickle down towards its customers as they could be fighting over ASML’s capacity due to its strong market position of 85% in DUV and monopoly within EUV while also bringing High NA-EUV to market by mid of this decade. Customers today pay roughly $130-150 million for EUV machines, while DUV machines come in at around $100 million. The largest hindrance to ASML overdelivering is its current capacity constraint in terms of ability to deliver EUV systems which is capped somewhere between 40 and 50 systems a year, with the company of course striving to expand that capacity constraint as demand builds up over the years. On the other hand, this could also be a driver for price increases as ASML strives to expand capacity.</p>\n<p>I will not try to construct an even bolder revenue guidance as it’s a cheap shot and frankly, no one has the capacity to accurately forecast if the current expectations will stand or whether they are too positive or negative. I just want to highlight that with everything going on and ASML’s market position in mind, I don’t consider it unreasonable that the company will do even better than currently anticipated.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>The stock price is an inch away from its 52-week high and has been on a tear since the beginning of 2020, really taking off since October 2020 from which it has doubled since.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/472c0e2f540c1d4ee2a7bbaec09379c0\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"453\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Market cap has exploded with all other parameters left in its wake having seen a significant expansion in price-earnings ratio despite a strong improvement in EPS and revenue. The stock market has long since recognised the story and potential of ASML with the Wall Street analyst target currently at $722 per share. Fair to say, there is no margin of safety if the analysts are correct in the predictions. Interestingly, out of the 30 analysts offering a price target, the percentage who are very bullish hasn’t been higher since 2016 with 56% stating a very bullish opinion. There is a mental exercise in staying cautious in terms of believing in such statements, not least because the stock has only known one direction for the last couple of years – upwards.</p>\n<p>The significance of the expansion in typical ratios is evident when considered over a five-year horizon as shown below. Both P/E and P/S have expanded massively standing at 55 and 15.7 respectively. However, the company is in a very different place compared to three years ago.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c691d4662a793b5de150add67a3a4e11\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Revenue is growing significantly faster than previously with gross margin and free cash flow also having improved. Due to this positive development, ASML is also returning plenty of capital to its shareholders with a share buyback program of €10 billion for 2021, which unfortunately only translates to a reduction of 0.5% of the current float.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7341584d3ba7b1db51e1eef3c4bdaccd\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The strong belief in ASML going forward is also clearly illustrated by the estimates for the coming years, which throughout the most recent years has been steadily climbing due to the company’s strong portfolio and market dominance.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b262aeeb8d75114dbc3e45bf9464c830\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>With all that said, I believe that current shareholders do well for themselves in holding on to their existing shares as this company has a great outlook. I’ve had my eyes on ASML for the last year, and I’m extremely sad to say I never got around to looking into it properly, but only looked it at from afar and concluded that the stock might be due for a good pullback at one point. Little did I know.</p>\n<p>As Peter Lynch famously said, “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves,” as would also be true for someone like me who didn’t act in time. I’m still massively fascinated by ASML’s outlook and potential journey, but at the current price, I remain hesitant about the prospects and the lack of margin of safety.</p>\n<p>There is a lot of potential for ASML to grow into its valuation, and if one is to add that current levels, I’d say dollar-cost averaging is a prudent strategy for the current price, while reserving the possibility to back up the truck for a full load if we see a pullback before end of 2021.</p>\n<p>As can be seen below, it is not uncommon for ASML to experience a 10% setback once or twice a year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad90b51964870f5475b596fe16f63317\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>ASML is dominant within its two main offerings, the DUV and EUV lithography. Its market is backed by incredibly strong tailwinds as all our gadgets, electrical cars, 5G, datacentres, cloud servers, etc. are heavily reliant on the technology platform offered by ASML. A true innovator with no real competition in sight, feeding machinery and tools to an industry expected to grow at CAGR 8.6% through 2028 with potentially even stronger growth for both its DUV and EUV platforms while also expecting margin expansion.</p>\n<p>There is little evil to be said about ASML, but unfortunately, the stock market has long since recognised its amazing story and potential. With such a strong outlook in sight, existing shareholders do well for themselves in holding onto their shares and just enjoy the journey ahead, but for the prospective shareholders, there appears to be a little margin of safety with the market cap having expanded significantly recently and the stock trading just an inch shy of its 52 week high.</p>\n<p>As Peter Lynch said, “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.” The exact fallacy I’ve fallen victim to as I’ve looked at ASML from afar for quite a while. Despite the recent expansion in market cap and multiples, there could be made a case for current estimates underestimating ASML’s true potential, but any forecast extending 5-10 years into the future comes with extreme uncertainty and guesstimation. As I’ve shown, ASML’s share price is prone to setbacks once or twice a year allowing dollar-cost averaging to serve as a method to acquire exposure to the company slowly building a position along the way.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Similarly, it faces very limited competition within DUV, both platforms vital for semiconductor manufacturing. The household names within the semiconductor industry belong to the manufacturers, but the machinery providers, such as ASML, command very strong moats through extensive technological knowledge and strong process knowledge leaving all potential competitors years behind if they should ever try to compete.\nIt's hard to think of a better competitive situation, especially when operating in a sector forecasted to grow well above general GDP for many years to come. However, the market has long since recognized ASML's outstanding potential and potential journey, but still, it could be underestimating the potential.\nIntroduction\nI recently wrote an article concerning how youcan’t own too much semiconductor exposure. Having decomposed the value chain for semiconductor manufacturing, I received a number of questions concerning ASML in the comment sections and decided to conduct this follow-up. I’ve selected ASML due to its unique marketplace position and potential.\nPersonally I have exposure to the manufacturing level of the semiconductor value chain through shares in both Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) and Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), but venturing further back into the value chain, and investors can be allowed to invest in a broader manner into the industry, as the suppliers of machinery and software obtain a broader exposure to most of the manufacturers making it immensely interesting as you can adopt the mantra of “I don’t really mind who wins, as long as they are racing”. As such, potential exposure upstream in the value chain carries great interest.\nThe Marketplace and Value Drivers For Years To Come\nFor ASML followers it’s no surprise at this point, but ASML is dominant within the product offering that will drive its revenue for the coming decade, EUV (Extreme ultraviolet lithography) technology. My personal take is that it is hard to find a company in a similarly advantageous competitive position anywhere in any industry. ASML provides equipment for lithography, the art of printing the chip features via light sources, in several light spectrums with its most advanced being EUV which is the next-gen to DUV (deep ultraviolet lithography). For DUV there are competitors albeit ASML has a massive market share above 85%. The difference between DUV and EUV is that EUV operates at a light wavelength almost 15 times smaller than DUV (13.5nm compared to 193nm).\nActually, the semiconductor manufacturers for the leading edge chips such as 5nm and soon to be 3nm are deeply dependent on the EUV machinery. Without it, it simply wouldn’t be possible. That sounds like a pretty good bargain for those who can manufacture these machines, but there is only one company that is able to do it, and that is ASML. For every generation of new EUV machinery, its yield becomes better with higher throughput and reduced downtime issues, meaning that ASML is effectively lightyears ahead of anyone who would try to pick up the gauntlet and challenge their dominant position.\nThis is an industry where everything is about process knowledge. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is able to produce 5nm chips because it was able to produce 7nm, and it will be able to produce 3nm because it can produce 5nm and has done that a million times over which is also why it was so detrimental to Intel Corp (INTC) that it had to acknowledge its persistent issues with the 7nm technology.\nQuite simply, there is no 3nm if you can’t do the 5nm, as also discussed in my previous article. Same goes for ASML as a competitor would be years and years behind ASML if they entered the EUV space as they would struggle with the same issues that have plagued ASML in its early days of EUV more than a decade ago. I’ve included a number of illustrations from their most recent investor day which took place in November 2018, with the next one to take place in September 2021.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 6.\nThe picture above clearly illustrates the process knowledge having been picked up by ASML throughout its EUV lifetime. This has also translated into better EUV machinery for each new generation as also evident by its productivity improvements. Again, I can’t imagine a more favourable competitive situation for a company, given how much time and capital it would require for a competitor to adopt the EUV technology.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 16.\nSemiconductor manufacturing is a cutthroat business with heavy R&D spend (it took ASML €6 billion in R&D spend to invent EUV) driving chip improvements according to Moore’s law, meaning that ASML is already working on the next-gen technology, referred to as High NA-EUV. High NA-EUV is still some time away, with the timeline below being slightly outdated, but its technology will significantly improve the EUV platform and power the industry beyond this decade. It takes time to develop the technology, improve yield and reduce downtime, but there is still plenty of opportunities for EUV in terms of marketplace expansion and margin improvement.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 21.\nASML itself has laid out the expected path in terms of optimised margins through both add-ons facing the buyer side and upstream cost reductions facing their suppliers creating a sweet spot for the company effectively striving to achieve the same profitability profile as for its more mature DUV platform.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 25.\nIf that wasn’t good enough, then add the fact that the semiconductor industry in general is expected to outpace general GDP for at least until 2028 with a CAGR of 8.6%. Recentcommunicationsby Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel and Samsung Electronics Company (OTC:SSNLF) shows the strength and growth potential for the sector with their combined CAPEX expectations going beyond $200 billion for the coming decade, with a significant chunk of that within the coming years.\nAs can be seen in the illustration above, ASML expects increased customer value through upgrades, with their roadmap for DUV serving as an example in terms of how the revenue base could expand over the coming years for EUV as is the case for DUV via what the company has labelled installed base management.\nASML Investor Day 2018, DUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 10.\nThere is of course always the possibility of a serious contender entering the marketplace in order to try and challenge ASML, but companies have tried to enter the space when the technology was in its infancy having given up, meaning the prime threat would be the emergence of a new lithography technology arriving and doing to EUV what EUV did to DUV. Possible sure, likely, not so much. Just to hammer down the point, I’ve inserted a paragraph from ASML’s own description of how lithography plays its role.\n\n “\n Lithography is a driving force in the creation of more powerful, faster and cheaper chips. The manufacturing of chips becomes increasingly complex as semiconductor feature sizes shrink, while the imperative to mass produce at the right cost remains. Our holistic lithography product portfolio helps to optimize production and enable affordable shrink by integrating lithography systems with computational modeling, as well as metrology and inspection solutions. A lithography system is essentially a projection system. Light is projected through a blueprint of the pattern that will be printed (known as a ‘mask’ or ‘reticle’). With the pattern encoded in the light, the system’s optics shrink and focus the pattern onto a photosensitive silicon wafer. After the pattern is printed, the system moves the wafer slightly and makes another copy on the wafer. This process is repeated until the wafer is covered in patterns, completing one layer of the wafer’s chips. To make an entire microchip, this process is repeated layer after layer, stacking the patterns to create an integrated circuit (IC). The simplest chips have around 10 layers, while the most complex can have over 150 layers. The size of the features to be printed varies depending on the layer, which means that different types of lithography systems are used for different layers – our latest-generation EUV systems for the most critical layers with the smallest features to ArF, KrF, and i-line DUV systems for less critical layers with larger features.”\n ASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.\n\nASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.\nI believe most investors are familiar with confirmation bias, and if they aren’t, they should grab a book and educate themselves. Having read through this section, it can easily sound as if I as the author is suffering from confirmation bias given how strongly I’ve advocated for ASML’s position and competitive power. However, I’ve striven towards identifying situations that could severely impact ASML and being honest I can’t find it. There are of course the risks associated with geopolitical tension, which also showed itself in the stock price back in 2016, the risk of supply chain disruption as is currently transpiring across the industry and competition for talent. These are touched upon by the company itself in their annual report 2020 p. 21 and no industry comes without potential risks.\nSo, to sum it all up:\n\nASML has pioneered EUV lithography, with no competitors in sight\nEUV will enable the continuation of Moore’s Law and will drive long term value for ASML and its customers well into this decade\nThe semiconductor sector forecasted to grow at CAGR of 8.6% through 2028, outpacing general GDP with ASML being a key supplier to the manufacturers (foundries)\nStrong industry CAPEX driving demand for ASML offerings\nThe path forward for expanding EUV business in terms of installed base management, margins improvement and manufacturer dependency on EUV machinery for leading edge chips\nASML is a crucial player for leading edge chip manufacturing\n\nSounds pretty good to me.\nThe Financial Performance and Development\nASML is doing well for itself as evident by the illustration below.\n\nStrong revenue growth\nStrong margin expansion\nStrong improvement in free cash flow\nImpressive operational improvements strengthening its moat through increased R&D spend and IP portfolio\n\nAnnual Report 2020, p 7.\nThis was followed by a strong Q1-2021 performance with mouth-watering financials on both top and bottom line. However, for their Q2-2021 performance they are guiding for slightly lower revenue expansion at €4.1 billion with a gross margin of 49%, which is still above the long term average but closer to it. There is however no denying that the company is thriving in the current environment.\nASML 2021 First-Quarter, p. 14.\nAn interesting detail is the development within the installed base management as illustrated earlier in the article. The company is delivering on its promise with a strong development within this segment growing 29% YoY from 2019 to 2020, well beyond the total growth of 18%.\nASML 2021 First-Quarter, p. 8.\nThe more interesting question however is whether the market estimates are underestimating the potential for ASML. An immensely hard question, but if we give it a look, I personally at least see the possibility of that being the case.\nAre Analyst Consensus Estimates Under- or Over-Estimating ASML’s Potential?\nASML is well-covered by analysts offering estimates all the way through 2028, but with coverage waning once we go beyond 2025 which is the last year covered by more than one analyst. The current estimates show a revenue CAGR development of 11.1% from 2020 to 2028, but if we remove 2021, which shows stellar growth, the CAGR is 6.5%.\nAuthor's Own Creation, Source Seeking Alpha.\nRemember the sector as a whole is forecasted to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 8.6% through 2028. These are all estimates which carry great uncertainty with no one able to reliably predict the future. However, it is worth noticing that revenue estimates for ASML are below the sector as a whole if the massive jump from 2020 to 2021 is left out of the equation. Average revenue growth from 2026 to 2028 is currently estimated to be 3.5%.\nConsidering some of the arguments in favour of why ASML’s outlook could be even more positive:\n\nGeneral semiconductor industry CAGR 2020-2028 forecasted at 8.6%.\nDUV CAGR 2020-2025forecastedat 8.4%, it is still ASML’s largest product category.\nEUV CAGR 2020-2027forecastedat 12%.\nASML is a linchpin player to solve chip shortage through technology advancement and its machines define the performance of every electrical gadget we utilise in our daily lives.\nASML shows progress in its plan to widen the ecosystem for its machinery through \"Installed Base Management\" increasing the total addressable market by upwards of double digits percentage as 2018 sales were 20% installed base management and 2025 estimate is 50%.\nASML dominates the DUV immersion segment, the part of DUV with high margins as its two solecompetitorsin DUV, Nikon and Canon lack the means and capabilities.\nAs the market transitions to EUV, the demand for DUV willfollowas the chip stacking process benefits from both systems through its manufacturing.\n\nThis is without mentioning the potential price increases that could trickle down towards its customers as they could be fighting over ASML’s capacity due to its strong market position of 85% in DUV and monopoly within EUV while also bringing High NA-EUV to market by mid of this decade. Customers today pay roughly $130-150 million for EUV machines, while DUV machines come in at around $100 million. The largest hindrance to ASML overdelivering is its current capacity constraint in terms of ability to deliver EUV systems which is capped somewhere between 40 and 50 systems a year, with the company of course striving to expand that capacity constraint as demand builds up over the years. On the other hand, this could also be a driver for price increases as ASML strives to expand capacity.\nI will not try to construct an even bolder revenue guidance as it’s a cheap shot and frankly, no one has the capacity to accurately forecast if the current expectations will stand or whether they are too positive or negative. I just want to highlight that with everything going on and ASML’s market position in mind, I don’t consider it unreasonable that the company will do even better than currently anticipated.\nValuation\nThe stock price is an inch away from its 52-week high and has been on a tear since the beginning of 2020, really taking off since October 2020 from which it has doubled since.\nData by YCharts\nMarket cap has exploded with all other parameters left in its wake having seen a significant expansion in price-earnings ratio despite a strong improvement in EPS and revenue. The stock market has long since recognised the story and potential of ASML with the Wall Street analyst target currently at $722 per share. Fair to say, there is no margin of safety if the analysts are correct in the predictions. Interestingly, out of the 30 analysts offering a price target, the percentage who are very bullish hasn’t been higher since 2016 with 56% stating a very bullish opinion. There is a mental exercise in staying cautious in terms of believing in such statements, not least because the stock has only known one direction for the last couple of years – upwards.\nThe significance of the expansion in typical ratios is evident when considered over a five-year horizon as shown below. Both P/E and P/S have expanded massively standing at 55 and 15.7 respectively. However, the company is in a very different place compared to three years ago.\nData by YCharts\nRevenue is growing significantly faster than previously with gross margin and free cash flow also having improved. Due to this positive development, ASML is also returning plenty of capital to its shareholders with a share buyback program of €10 billion for 2021, which unfortunately only translates to a reduction of 0.5% of the current float.\nData by YCharts\nThe strong belief in ASML going forward is also clearly illustrated by the estimates for the coming years, which throughout the most recent years has been steadily climbing due to the company’s strong portfolio and market dominance.\nData by YCharts\nWith all that said, I believe that current shareholders do well for themselves in holding on to their existing shares as this company has a great outlook. I’ve had my eyes on ASML for the last year, and I’m extremely sad to say I never got around to looking into it properly, but only looked it at from afar and concluded that the stock might be due for a good pullback at one point. Little did I know.\nAs Peter Lynch famously said, “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves,” as would also be true for someone like me who didn’t act in time. I’m still massively fascinated by ASML’s outlook and potential journey, but at the current price, I remain hesitant about the prospects and the lack of margin of safety.\nThere is a lot of potential for ASML to grow into its valuation, and if one is to add that current levels, I’d say dollar-cost averaging is a prudent strategy for the current price, while reserving the possibility to back up the truck for a full load if we see a pullback before end of 2021.\nAs can be seen below, it is not uncommon for ASML to experience a 10% setback once or twice a year.\nData by YCharts\nConclusion\nASML is dominant within its two main offerings, the DUV and EUV lithography. Its market is backed by incredibly strong tailwinds as all our gadgets, electrical cars, 5G, datacentres, cloud servers, etc. are heavily reliant on the technology platform offered by ASML. A true innovator with no real competition in sight, feeding machinery and tools to an industry expected to grow at CAGR 8.6% through 2028 with potentially even stronger growth for both its DUV and EUV platforms while also expecting margin expansion.\nThere is little evil to be said about ASML, but unfortunately, the stock market has long since recognised its amazing story and potential. With such a strong outlook in sight, existing shareholders do well for themselves in holding onto their shares and just enjoy the journey ahead, but for the prospective shareholders, there appears to be a little margin of safety with the market cap having expanded significantly recently and the stock trading just an inch shy of its 52 week high.\nAs Peter Lynch said, “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.” The exact fallacy I’ve fallen victim to as I’ve looked at ASML from afar for quite a while. Despite the recent expansion in market cap and multiples, there could be made a case for current estimates underestimating ASML’s true potential, but any forecast extending 5-10 years into the future comes with extreme uncertainty and guesstimation. As I’ve shown, ASML’s share price is prone to setbacks once or twice a year allowing dollar-cost averaging to serve as a method to acquire exposure to the company slowly building a position along the way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":387,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164924355,"gmtCreate":1624167128677,"gmtModify":1703830021950,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Recommend more good buys please&nbsp;","listText":"Recommend more good buys please&nbsp;","text":"Recommend more good buys please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/164924355","repostId":"1126454279","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126454279","pubTimestamp":1624151746,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1126454279?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-20 09:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A Stock Market Crash Is Coming: 5 High-Conviction Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist When It Happens","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126454279","media":"fool","summary":"It might be the last thing you want to hear, but it's the truth:A stock market crash is inevitable.\n","content":"<p>It might be the last thing you want to hear, but it's the truth:A stock market crash is inevitable.</p>\n<p>Since the March 23, 2020 bottom, investors have enjoyed a historically strong bounce-back rally -- the widely followed<b>S&amp;P 500</b>(SNPINDEX:^GSPC)has gained an impressive 90%.

No matter the size of the business or the state of the U.S./global economy, protecting enterprise and consumer data is paramount. This means cloud-based cybersecurity stock<b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b>(NASDAQ:CRWD)can thrive in any environment.</p>\n<p>CrowdStrike's successderives from its cloud-native Falcon security platform. Because it's built in the cloud and relies on artificial intelligence, it's growing smarter at identifying and responding to threats all the time. It's currently overseeing 6 trillion events on a weekly basis, and it's far more cost-effective at protecting data than on-premise solutions.</p>\n<p>We can also look to the company's income statements to see clear-cut evidence that businesses favor CrowdStrike's cybersecurity platform. It's been retaining 98% of its clients, has seen existing clients spend 23% to 47% more on a year-over-year basis for the past 12 quarters, and recently reported that 64% of its customers have purchased at least four cloud module subscriptions. Scaling with its customers is CrowdStrike's ticket to big-time cash flow expansion.</p>\n<p><b>Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Brand-name businesses can make patient investors a fortune, and social media giant<b>Facebook</b>(NASDAQ:FB)is the perfect example.</p>\n<p>When the curtain closed on March, Facebook tallied 2.85 billion monthly active users (MAU) visiting its namesake site and an additional 600 million unique MAUs visiting WhatsApp or Instagram, which it also owns. All told, this equates to44% of the global populationinteracting with its owned sites each month. There's simply no social media platform businesses can go to get their message to a broader (or potentially targeted) audience, which is why Facebook ad-pricing power is so strong.</p>\n<p>But here's the kicker: Facebookhasn't even put the pedal to the metal. Although it's on track to generate more than $100 billion in advertising revenue in 2021, nearly all of these ad sales are coming from its namesake site and Instagram. WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which are two of the six most-visited social sites in the world, aren't being meaningfully monetized as of yet. Further, the company's Oculus virtual reality devices are still in the early stage of their growth. Suffice it to say, Facebook offers ample upside as its other operating segments are monetized and mature.</p>\n<p><b>NextEra Energy</b></p>\n<p>Another high-conviction stock to buy hand over fist the next time a crash or steep correction strikes is electric utility stock<b>NextEra Energy</b>(NYSE:NEE).</p>\n<p>Did I put you to sleep when I said \"electric utility stock?\" Electric utilities are traditionally known for their market-topping dividend yields and persistently low growth rates. But this doesn't describe NextEra Energy. NextEra has aggressively invested in renewable energy projects and is leading the country in solar and wind capacity. As a result of these investments, its electric generation costs have declined and its compound annual growth ratehas consistently been in the high single digitsfor more than a decade. It also doesn't hurt that NextEra is front-running any potential green-energy legislation that might come out of Washington.</p>\n<p>In addition to growth rates that are well above the sector average, NextEra still benefits from the predictability of energy demand. For instance, its regulated utilities (i.e., those not powered by renewable energy) require approval from state utility commissions before price hikes can be passed along to households. This might sound like an inconvenience, but it's actually great news. It means NextEra won't be exposed to potentially volatile wholesale pricing.</p>\n<p><b>Visa</b></p>\n<p>When the next stock market crash arrives, payment processing kingpin<b>Visa</b>(NYSE:V)is a winning company to confidently buy hand over fist. It's also another brand-name company thatcan still make its shareholders a fortune.</p>\n<p>Buying into the Visa growth story is a simple numbers game. Visa grows its revenue and profits when consumers and businesses are spending more. This happens when the U.S. and global economy are expanding. Although contractions and recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they tend to be short-lived. Meanwhile, periods of economic expansion are almost always measured in years. Buying into Visa during these short-lived crashes or corrections should allow long-term investors to be handsomely rewarded by this numbers game.</p>\n<p>The other interesting thing about Visa is thatit's shunned becoming a lender. You'd think that Visa could generate big bucks from interest income and fees by lending during these long-lived periods of expansion. But lending would also expose Visa to the credit delinquencies that arise during recessions. Operating solely as a payment processor means not having to set aside cash to cover delinquencies. It's why Visa rebounds so much faster than most financial stocks following a recession.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Lastly (andwho couldn't see this coming?), investors should take any discount they can get during a crash on e-commerce behemoth<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN).</p>\n<p>Amazon's online marketplace has proved virtually unstoppable for well over a decade. An April 2021 report from eMarketer pegged the company's share of U.S. online sales at 40.4%. That more than quintuples its next-closest competitor and effectively solidifies Amazon as the go-to source for online shopping in the U.S.</p>\n<p>What about those pesky low retail margins, you ask? Amazon has signed up more than 200 million people globally to a Prime membership. The fees collected from Prime members help to offset some of the company's retail-based margin weakness. Prime members are extremely loyal to the Amazon ecosystem and spend far more than non-members, too.</p>\n<p>But it's Amazon's cloud infrastructure segmentthat's the superstar. Amazon Web Services (AWS) brings in around one-eighth of the company's total sales but accounts for well over half its operating income. Since cloud margins are superior to retail and advertising margins, AWS is the company's key to explosive cash flow growth this decade.</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>A Stock Market Crash Is Coming: 5 High-Conviction Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist When It Happens</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\">\nA Stock Market Crash Is Coming: 5 High-Conviction Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist When It Happens\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-20 09:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/19/stock-market-crash-coming-5-high-conviction-stocks/><strong>fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It might be the last thing you want to hear, but it's the truth:A stock market crash is inevitable.\nSince the March 23, 2020 bottom, investors have enjoyed a historically strong bounce-back rally -- ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/19/stock-market-crash-coming-5-high-conviction-stocks/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NEP":"Nextera Energy Partners","CRWD":"CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.","AMZN":"亚马逊","V":"Visa"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/19/stock-market-crash-coming-5-high-conviction-stocks/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1126454279","content_text":"It might be the last thing you want to hear, but it's the truth:A stock market crash is inevitable.\nSince the March 23, 2020 bottom, investors have enjoyed a historically strong bounce-back rally -- the widely followedS&P 500(SNPINDEX:^GSPC)has gained an impressive 90%.

We're nearly 15 months past the March 2020 bear-market bottom in the S&amp;P 500 and have yet to see anything close to a double-digit correction.</p>\n<p>To add to this point, data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research shows that there have been 38 double-digit declines in the S&amp;P 500 over the past 71 years.

The S&amp;P 500's Shiller P/E -- a measure of inflation-adjusted earnings over the previous 10 years -- almost hit 38 earlier this week. That more than doubles its 151-year average, and it's the highest level in nearly two decades. The previous four times the Shiller P/E surpassed and held above 30 during a bull market rally, the indexsubsequently declined by a minimum of 20%.</p>\n<p>Make no mistake about it -- a stock market crash is coming.</p>\n<p>Every crash or correction is an opportunity for patient investors to make money</p>\n<p>However, a crash is no reason to duck and cover. While history may signal trouble ahead, it also tells us that each and every double-digit decline has been a buying opportunity. Eventually, every big drop in the major indexes is erased by a bull-market rally. When the next crash does occur, the following five high-conviction stocks can be confidently bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p><b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b></p>\n<p>Cybersecurity is projected to beone of the safest double-digit growth trendsthis decade. No matter the size of the business or the state of the U.S./global economy, protecting enterprise and consumer data is paramount. This means cloud-based cybersecurity stock<b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b>(NASDAQ:CRWD)can thrive in any environment.</p>\n<p>CrowdStrike's successderives from its cloud-native Falcon security platform. Because it's built in the cloud and relies on artificial intelligence, it's growing smarter at identifying and responding to threats all the time. It's currently overseeing 6 trillion events on a weekly basis, and it's far more cost-effective at protecting data than on-premise solutions.</p>\n<p>We can also look to the company's income statements to see clear-cut evidence that businesses favor CrowdStrike's cybersecurity platform. It's been retaining 98% of its clients, has seen existing clients spend 23% to 47% more on a year-over-year basis for the past 12 quarters, and recently reported that 64% of its customers have purchased at least four cloud module subscriptions. Scaling with its customers is CrowdStrike's ticket to big-time cash flow expansion.</p>\n<p><b>Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Brand-name businesses can make patient investors a fortune, and social media giant<b>Facebook</b>(NASDAQ:FB)is the perfect example.</p>\n<p>When the curtain closed on March, Facebook tallied 2.85 billion monthly active users (MAU) visiting its namesake site and an additional 600 million unique MAUs visiting WhatsApp or Instagram, which it also owns. All told, this equates to44% of the global populationinteracting with its owned sites each month. There's simply no social media platform businesses can go to get their message to a broader (or potentially targeted) audience, which is why Facebook ad-pricing power is so strong.</p>\n<p>But here's the kicker: Facebookhasn't even put the pedal to the metal. Although it's on track to generate more than $100 billion in advertising revenue in 2021, nearly all of these ad sales are coming from its namesake site and Instagram. WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which are two of the six most-visited social sites in the world, aren't being meaningfully monetized as of yet. Further, the company's Oculus virtual reality devices are still in the early stage of their growth. Suffice it to say, Facebook offers ample upside as its other operating segments are monetized and mature.</p>\n<p><b>NextEra Energy</b></p>\n<p>Another high-conviction stock to buy hand over fist the next time a crash or steep correction strikes is electric utility stock<b>NextEra Energy</b>(NYSE:NEE).</p>\n<p>Did I put you to sleep when I said \"electric utility stock?\" Electric utilities are traditionally known for their market-topping dividend yields and persistently low growth rates. But this doesn't describe NextEra Energy. NextEra has aggressively invested in renewable energy projects and is leading the country in solar and wind capacity. As a result of these investments, its electric generation costs have declined and its compound annual growth ratehas consistently been in the high single digitsfor more than a decade. It also doesn't hurt that NextEra is front-running any potential green-energy legislation that might come out of Washington.</p>\n<p>In addition to growth rates that are well above the sector average, NextEra still benefits from the predictability of energy demand. For instance, its regulated utilities (i.e., those not powered by renewable energy) require approval from state utility commissions before price hikes can be passed along to households. This might sound like an inconvenience, but it's actually great news. It means NextEra won't be exposed to potentially volatile wholesale pricing.</p>\n<p><b>Visa</b></p>\n<p>When the next stock market crash arrives, payment processing kingpin<b>Visa</b>(NYSE:V)is a winning company to confidently buy hand over fist. It's also another brand-name company thatcan still make its shareholders a fortune.</p>\n<p>Buying into the Visa growth story is a simple numbers game. Visa grows its revenue and profits when consumers and businesses are spending more. This happens when the U.S. and global economy are expanding. Although contractions and recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they tend to be short-lived. Meanwhile, periods of economic expansion are almost always measured in years. Buying into Visa during these short-lived crashes or corrections should allow long-term investors to be handsomely rewarded by this numbers game.</p>\n<p>The other interesting thing about Visa is thatit's shunned becoming a lender. You'd think that Visa could generate big bucks from interest income and fees by lending during these long-lived periods of expansion. But lending would also expose Visa to the credit delinquencies that arise during recessions. Operating solely as a payment processor means not having to set aside cash to cover delinquencies. It's why Visa rebounds so much faster than most financial stocks following a recession.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Lastly (andwho couldn't see this coming?), investors should take any discount they can get during a crash on e-commerce behemoth<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN).</p>\n<p>Amazon's online marketplace has proved virtually unstoppable for well over a decade. An April 2021 report from eMarketer pegged the company's share of U.S. online sales at 40.4%. That more than quintuples its next-closest competitor and effectively solidifies Amazon as the go-to source for online shopping in the U.S.</p>\n<p>What about those pesky low retail margins, you ask? Amazon has signed up more than 200 million people globally to a Prime membership. The fees collected from Prime members help to offset some of the company's retail-based margin weakness. Prime members are extremely loyal to the Amazon ecosystem and spend far more than non-members, too.</p>\n<p>But it's Amazon's cloud infrastructure segmentthat's the superstar. Amazon Web Services (AWS) brings in around one-eighth of the company's total sales but accounts for well over half its operating income.

That shows just how strong Apple’s earnings trajectory is, as analysts scramble to meet Apple’s outstanding performances. I love stocks with earnings revision charts like Apple’s because the bar is always rising, which means that the stock will follow suit.</p>\n<p><b>Not all is well</b></p>\n<p>Apple, to be fair, does face a huge amount of risks that are outside of its control. Many of them cropped up since my last report on Apple and so I want to balance my bullish position on the stock with some sobering reality to ensure readers are well-equipped to make an informed decision about whether or not Apple is right for their portfolio.</p>\n<p>First, the FTC made the headlines a few weeks ago by appointing&nbsp;Lina Khan, an outspoken and noted big tech critic, who feels certain companies have too much control over the behaviors of consumers. This is a noteworthy development because if the FTC wants to go after big tech, Apple is a very logical early target. I don’t see it impacting iPhone or other hardware sales but services revenue? Absolutely. This is a longer-term threat since antitrust rules take time to create, but Apple shareholders need to take this threat seriously.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;White Houseis apparently on board with this line of thinking, and the&nbsp;House&nbsp;is actually considering legislation that would undertake to reign in the perceived control of big tech companies, including Apple's tendency to pre-install its own apps on Apple devices. Would that stop consumers from just going to the app store and downloading them? No, but it certainly isn't a<i>positive</i>&nbsp;catalyst.</p>\n<p>Apple is facing a similar threat in&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;and other places in the developed world, so it isn’t just a problem at home. Germany is assessing if Apple has “competition violations” to be addressed. So the issue is the same one being faced in the US, and the only two outcomes are neutral (nothing happens), or negative (antitrust action is taken).</p>\n<p>Apple is also still very much beholden to the never-ending trade war between&nbsp;China&nbsp;and the US, as the two countries constantly jockey for position with the highest stakes the world has ever seen in such a scuffle. Apple’s production process is potentially at risk, depending upon how ugly things get, adding some geopolitical risk to the stock's outlook. This goes both ways, and China employs a lot of people and generates a lot of cash from Apple’s production. So I’m not sure it is as one-sided as it seems, but the geopolitical risk is never a good thing, and Apple’s manufacturing needs set it up for such a risk.</p>\n<p><b>Final thoughts</b></p>\n<p>I’ve enumerated a variety of potential issues Apple is facing, and I’ll be clear and say none of these are good things. The best possible outcome is that nothing changes, and the worst is that all come to fruition and Apple faces manufacturing challenges, as well as antitrust actions. These are real threats, but I also think they're already priced in.</p>\n<p>The threat of antitrust legislation or a trade war with China isn’t new by any stretch of the imagination and is not dissimilar to the threats that other tech giants like Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), or Facebook (FB) face every day. This is par for the course if you’re a dominant tech company, and Apple certainly is. I don’t want to ignore these potential negative catalysts, but I don’t want to overreact, either.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind also that Apple continues to move higher over time despite this bad news, which is what winning stocks do. The fact that it is shrugging off these huge potential negative catalysts reinforces the bullish stance I already had on the stock.</p>\n<p>I detailed my bullishness on the company’s revenue generation, margins, buybacks, valuation, and more in the&nbsp;prior piece, and nothing has changed there. So I don’t want to waste your time going through it again. However, my fundamental stance on Apple hasn’t changed in the past six weeks, and if anything, continued upward revisions in EPS estimates have strengthened the bull case.</p>\n<p>The important thing is that shareholders must be aware of external threats, but also that we are seeing Apple get to the end of its very bullish consolidation pattern at the same time that it typically begins a pre-earnings run higher.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that I think Apple’s breakout is imminent, and that the pattern measures to $172 or so. This won’t happen overnight, but if you were looking to buy Apple, act quickly.</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>Apple: Act Quickly Before The Run To $172</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\">\nApple: Act Quickly Before The Run To $172\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-30 14:54 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437069-apple-act-quickly-before-the-run-to-172><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple faces many external threats from regulators in the developed world.\nBut I see these as largely priced in, although they remain a threat longer term.\nApple is on the cusp of what should ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437069-apple-act-quickly-before-the-run-to-172\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437069-apple-act-quickly-before-the-run-to-172","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1110936297","content_text":"Summary\n\nApple faces many external threats from regulators in the developed world.\nBut I see these as largely priced in, although they remain a threat longer term.\nApple is on the cusp of what should be a pre-earnings run and an imminent breakout of a bullish consolidation pattern.\n\nfMing Yeung/Getty Images News\nI have made it no secret that I’m a big fan of Apple(AAPL).

So the issue is the same one being faced in the US, and the only two outcomes are neutral (nothing happens), or negative (antitrust action is taken).\nApple is also still very much beholden to the never-ending trade war between China and the US, as the two countries constantly jockey for position with the highest stakes the world has ever seen in such a scuffle. Apple’s production process is potentially at risk, depending upon how ugly things get, adding some geopolitical risk to the stock's outlook. This goes both ways, and China employs a lot of people and generates a lot of cash from Apple’s production. So I’m not sure it is as one-sided as it seems, but the geopolitical risk is never a good thing, and Apple’s manufacturing needs set it up for such a risk.\nFinal thoughts\nI’ve enumerated a variety of potential issues Apple is facing, and I’ll be clear and say none of these are good things. The best possible outcome is that nothing changes, and the worst is that all come to fruition and Apple faces manufacturing challenges, as well as antitrust actions. These are real threats, but I also think they're already priced in.\nThe threat of antitrust legislation or a trade war with China isn’t new by any stretch of the imagination and is not dissimilar to the threats that other tech giants like Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), or Facebook (FB) face every day. This is par for the course if you’re a dominant tech company, and Apple certainly is. I don’t want to ignore these potential negative catalysts, but I don’t want to overreact, either.\nKeep in mind also that Apple continues to move higher over time despite this bad news, which is what winning stocks do. The fact that it is shrugging off these huge potential negative catalysts reinforces the bullish stance I already had on the stock.\nI detailed my bullishness on the company’s revenue generation, margins, buybacks, valuation, and more in the prior piece, and nothing has changed there. So I don’t want to waste your time going through it again. However, my fundamental stance on Apple hasn’t changed in the past six weeks, and if anything, continued upward revisions in EPS estimates have strengthened the bull case.\nThe important thing is that shareholders must be aware of external threats, but also that we are seeing Apple get to the end of its very bullish consolidation pattern at the same time that it typically begins a pre-earnings run higher.\nThe bottom line is that I think Apple’s breakout is imminent, and that the pattern measures to $172 or so. This won’t happen overnight, but if you were looking to buy Apple, act quickly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3573540190522229","authorId":"3573540190522229","name":"Targarean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/59de1c73df3e7e460bd84cc786850fa6","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"I think this guy is too bullish.

The research firm then identified the eight riskiest names based on those measures.\n“Our view is that these are among the riskiest stocks to own today, so investors who own these names should have disproportionate upside to their base cases to compensate them for these risks,” Parker said.\nTake a look at five of the riskiest technology stocks, according to Trivariate.\nRISKIEST TECH STOCKS, ACCORDING TO TRIVARIATE\n\n\n\nTICKER\nCOMPANY\nPRICE\n%CHANGE\n\n\n\n\nMCHP\nMicrochip Technology Inc\n145.62\n-3.0686\n\n\nTWLO\nTwilio Inc\n367.61\n1.84\n\n\nSQ\nSquare Inc\n237.05\n0.39\n\n\nNVDA\nNVIDIA Corp\n745.55\n-0.0992\n\n\nAAPL\nApple Inc\n130.46\n-1.0092\n\n\n\nApple is on Trivariate’s list of riskiest stocks.

But both history and valuation metrics unequivocally suggest that a big drop is upcoming for the stock market.</p>\n<p><b>History is pretty clear that trouble lies ahead</b></p>\n<p>For example, there have beenone or two double-digit percentage declineswithin the three years following a bottom in each of the previous eight bear markets prior to the coronavirus crash (i.e., dating back to 1960). Although bull markets tend to last years, rebounds from a bear market are never this smooth. We're nearly 15 months past the March 2020 bear-market bottom in the S&amp;P 500 and have yet to see anything close to a double-digit correction.</p>\n<p>To add to this point, data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research shows that there have been 38 double-digit declines in the S&amp;P 500 over the past 71 years. That's a crash or correction, on average,every 1.87 years. Though the market doesn't adhere to averages, it does give a general sense of when to expect these hiccups.</p>\n<p>On a valuation basis, the S&amp;P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a waving red flag. The S&amp;P 500's Shiller P/E -- a measure of inflation-adjusted earnings over the previous 10 years -- almost hit 38 earlier this week. That more than doubles its 151-year average, and it's the highest level in nearly two decades. The previous four times the Shiller P/E surpassed and held above 30 during a bull market rally, the indexsubsequently declined by a minimum of 20%.</p>\n<p>Make no mistake about it -- a stock market crash is coming.</p>\n<p>Every crash or correction is an opportunity for patient investors to make money</p>\n<p>However, a crash is no reason to duck and cover. While history may signal trouble ahead, it also tells us that each and every double-digit decline has been a buying opportunity. Eventually, every big drop in the major indexes is erased by a bull-market rally. When the next crash does occur, the following five high-conviction stocks can be confidently bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p><b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b></p>\n<p>Cybersecurity is projected to beone of the safest double-digit growth trendsthis decade. No matter the size of the business or the state of the U.S./global economy, protecting enterprise and consumer data is paramount. This means cloud-based cybersecurity stock<b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b>(NASDAQ:CRWD)can thrive in any environment.</p>\n<p>CrowdStrike's successderives from its cloud-native Falcon security platform. Because it's built in the cloud and relies on artificial intelligence, it's growing smarter at identifying and responding to threats all the time. It's currently overseeing 6 trillion events on a weekly basis, and it's far more cost-effective at protecting data than on-premise solutions.</p>\n<p>We can also look to the company's income statements to see clear-cut evidence that businesses favor CrowdStrike's cybersecurity platform. It's been retaining 98% of its clients, has seen existing clients spend 23% to 47% more on a year-over-year basis for the past 12 quarters, and recently reported that 64% of its customers have purchased at least four cloud module subscriptions. Scaling with its customers is CrowdStrike's ticket to big-time cash flow expansion.</p>\n<p><b>Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Brand-name businesses can make patient investors a fortune, and social media giant<b>Facebook</b>(NASDAQ:FB)is the perfect example.</p>\n<p>When the curtain closed on March, Facebook tallied 2.85 billion monthly active users (MAU) visiting its namesake site and an additional 600 million unique MAUs visiting WhatsApp or Instagram, which it also owns. All told, this equates to44% of the global populationinteracting with its owned sites each month. There's simply no social media platform businesses can go to get their message to a broader (or potentially targeted) audience, which is why Facebook ad-pricing power is so strong.</p>\n<p>But here's the kicker: Facebookhasn't even put the pedal to the metal. Although it's on track to generate more than $100 billion in advertising revenue in 2021, nearly all of these ad sales are coming from its namesake site and Instagram. WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which are two of the six most-visited social sites in the world, aren't being meaningfully monetized as of yet. Further, the company's Oculus virtual reality devices are still in the early stage of their growth. Suffice it to say, Facebook offers ample upside as its other operating segments are monetized and mature.</p>\n<p><b>NextEra Energy</b></p>\n<p>Another high-conviction stock to buy hand over fist the next time a crash or steep correction strikes is electric utility stock<b>NextEra Energy</b>(NYSE:NEE).</p>\n<p>Did I put you to sleep when I said \"electric utility stock?\" Electric utilities are traditionally known for their market-topping dividend yields and persistently low growth rates. But this doesn't describe NextEra Energy. NextEra has aggressively invested in renewable energy projects and is leading the country in solar and wind capacity. As a result of these investments, its electric generation costs have declined and its compound annual growth ratehas consistently been in the high single digitsfor more than a decade. It also doesn't hurt that NextEra is front-running any potential green-energy legislation that might come out of Washington.</p>\n<p>In addition to growth rates that are well above the sector average, NextEra still benefits from the predictability of energy demand. For instance, its regulated utilities (i.e., those not powered by renewable energy) require approval from state utility commissions before price hikes can be passed along to households. This might sound like an inconvenience, but it's actually great news. It means NextEra won't be exposed to potentially volatile wholesale pricing.</p>\n<p><b>Visa</b></p>\n<p>When the next stock market crash arrives, payment processing kingpin<b>Visa</b>(NYSE:V)is a winning company to confidently buy hand over fist. It's also another brand-name company thatcan still make its shareholders a fortune.</p>\n<p>Buying into the Visa growth story is a simple numbers game. Visa grows its revenue and profits when consumers and businesses are spending more. This happens when the U.S. and global economy are expanding. Although contractions and recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they tend to be short-lived. Meanwhile, periods of economic expansion are almost always measured in years. Buying into Visa during these short-lived crashes or corrections should allow long-term investors to be handsomely rewarded by this numbers game.</p>\n<p>The other interesting thing about Visa is thatit's shunned becoming a lender. You'd think that Visa could generate big bucks from interest income and fees by lending during these long-lived periods of expansion. But lending would also expose Visa to the credit delinquencies that arise during recessions. Operating solely as a payment processor means not having to set aside cash to cover delinquencies. It's why Visa rebounds so much faster than most financial stocks following a recession.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Lastly (andwho couldn't see this coming?), investors should take any discount they can get during a crash on e-commerce behemoth<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN).</p>\n<p>Amazon's online marketplace has proved virtually unstoppable for well over a decade. An April 2021 report from eMarketer pegged the company's share of U.S. online sales at 40.4%. That more than quintuples its next-closest competitor and effectively solidifies Amazon as the go-to source for online shopping in the U.S.</p>\n<p>What about those pesky low retail margins, you ask? Amazon has signed up more than 200 million people globally to a Prime membership. The fees collected from Prime members help to offset some of the company's retail-based margin weakness.

But both history and valuation metrics unequivocally suggest that a big drop is upcoming for the stock market.\nHistory is pretty clear that trouble lies ahead\nFor example, there have beenone or two double-digit percentage declineswithin the three years following a bottom in each of the previous eight bear markets prior to the coronavirus crash (i.e., dating back to 1960). Although bull markets tend to last years, rebounds from a bear market are never this smooth. We're nearly 15 months past the March 2020 bear-market bottom in the S&P 500 and have yet to see anything close to a double-digit correction.\nTo add to this point, data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research shows that there have been 38 double-digit declines in the S&P 500 over the past 71 years. That's a crash or correction, on average,every 1.87 years. Though the market doesn't adhere to averages, it does give a general sense of when to expect these hiccups.\nOn a valuation basis, the S&P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a waving red flag. The S&P 500's Shiller P/E -- a measure of inflation-adjusted earnings over the previous 10 years -- almost hit 38 earlier this week. That more than doubles its 151-year average, and it's the highest level in nearly two decades. The previous four times the Shiller P/E surpassed and held above 30 during a bull market rally, the indexsubsequently declined by a minimum of 20%.\nMake no mistake about it -- a stock market crash is coming.\nEvery crash or correction is an opportunity for patient investors to make money\nHowever, a crash is no reason to duck and cover. While history may signal trouble ahead, it also tells us that each and every double-digit decline has been a buying opportunity. Eventually, every big drop in the major indexes is erased by a bull-market rally. When the next crash does occur, the following five high-conviction stocks can be confidently bought hand over fist.\nCrowdStrike Holdings\nCybersecurity is projected to beone of the safest double-digit growth trendsthis decade. No matter the size of the business or the state of the U.S./global economy, protecting enterprise and consumer data is paramount. This means cloud-based cybersecurity stockCrowdStrike Holdings(NASDAQ:CRWD)can thrive in any environment.\nCrowdStrike's successderives from its cloud-native Falcon security platform. Because it's built in the cloud and relies on artificial intelligence, it's growing smarter at identifying and responding to threats all the time. It's currently overseeing 6 trillion events on a weekly basis, and it's far more cost-effective at protecting data than on-premise solutions.\nWe can also look to the company's income statements to see clear-cut evidence that businesses favor CrowdStrike's cybersecurity platform. It's been retaining 98% of its clients, has seen existing clients spend 23% to 47% more on a year-over-year basis for the past 12 quarters, and recently reported that 64% of its customers have purchased at least four cloud module subscriptions. Scaling with its customers is CrowdStrike's ticket to big-time cash flow expansion.\nFacebook\nBrand-name businesses can make patient investors a fortune, and social media giantFacebook(NASDAQ:FB)is the perfect example.\nWhen the curtain closed on March, Facebook tallied 2.85 billion monthly active users (MAU) visiting its namesake site and an additional 600 million unique MAUs visiting WhatsApp or Instagram, which it also owns. All told, this equates to44% of the global populationinteracting with its owned sites each month. There's simply no social media platform businesses can go to get their message to a broader (or potentially targeted) audience, which is why Facebook ad-pricing power is so strong.\nBut here's the kicker: Facebookhasn't even put the pedal to the metal. Although it's on track to generate more than $100 billion in advertising revenue in 2021, nearly all of these ad sales are coming from its namesake site and Instagram. WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which are two of the six most-visited social sites in the world, aren't being meaningfully monetized as of yet. Further, the company's Oculus virtual reality devices are still in the early stage of their growth. Suffice it to say, Facebook offers ample upside as its other operating segments are monetized and mature.\nNextEra Energy\nAnother high-conviction stock to buy hand over fist the next time a crash or steep correction strikes is electric utility stockNextEra Energy(NYSE:NEE).\nDid I put you to sleep when I said \"electric utility stock?\" Electric utilities are traditionally known for their market-topping dividend yields and persistently low growth rates. But this doesn't describe NextEra Energy. NextEra has aggressively invested in renewable energy projects and is leading the country in solar and wind capacity. As a result of these investments, its electric generation costs have declined and its compound annual growth ratehas consistently been in the high single digitsfor more than a decade. It also doesn't hurt that NextEra is front-running any potential green-energy legislation that might come out of Washington.\nIn addition to growth rates that are well above the sector average, NextEra still benefits from the predictability of energy demand. For instance, its regulated utilities (i.e., those not powered by renewable energy) require approval from state utility commissions before price hikes can be passed along to households. This might sound like an inconvenience, but it's actually great news. It means NextEra won't be exposed to potentially volatile wholesale pricing.\nVisa\nWhen the next stock market crash arrives, payment processing kingpinVisa(NYSE:V)is a winning company to confidently buy hand over fist. It's also another brand-name company thatcan still make its shareholders a fortune.\nBuying into the Visa growth story is a simple numbers game. Visa grows its revenue and profits when consumers and businesses are spending more. This happens when the U.S. and global economy are expanding. Although contractions and recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, they tend to be short-lived. Meanwhile, periods of economic expansion are almost always measured in years. Buying into Visa during these short-lived crashes or corrections should allow long-term investors to be handsomely rewarded by this numbers game.\nThe other interesting thing about Visa is thatit's shunned becoming a lender. You'd think that Visa could generate big bucks from interest income and fees by lending during these long-lived periods of expansion. But lending would also expose Visa to the credit delinquencies that arise during recessions. Operating solely as a payment processor means not having to set aside cash to cover delinquencies. It's why Visa rebounds so much faster than most financial stocks following a recession.\nAmazon\nLastly (andwho couldn't see this coming?), investors should take any discount they can get during a crash on e-commerce behemothAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN).\nAmazon's online marketplace has proved virtually unstoppable for well over a decade. An April 2021 report from eMarketer pegged the company's share of U.S. online sales at 40.4%. That more than quintuples its next-closest competitor and effectively solidifies Amazon as the go-to source for online shopping in the U.S.\nWhat about those pesky low retail margins, you ask? Amazon has signed up more than 200 million people globally to a Prime membership. The fees collected from Prime members help to offset some of the company's retail-based margin weakness. Prime members are extremely loyal to the Amazon ecosystem and spend far more than non-members, too.\nBut it's Amazon's cloud infrastructure segmentthat's the superstar. Amazon Web Services (AWS) brings in around one-eighth of the company's total sales but accounts for well over half its operating income. Since cloud margins are superior to retail and advertising margins, AWS is the company's key to explosive cash flow growth this decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":345,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164953008,"gmtCreate":1624167385304,"gmtModify":1703830027640,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[OK]&nbsp;","listText":"[OK]&nbsp;","text":"[OK]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/164953008","repostId":"1168762020","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":387,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166458516,"gmtCreate":1624023565835,"gmtModify":1703826838032,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I’m seeing red on my watchlist&nbsp;","listText":"I’m seeing red on my watchlist&nbsp;","text":"I’m seeing red on my watchlist","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166458516","repostId":"1118271544","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118271544","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":1624023029,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1118271544?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-18 21:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow drops 400 points at the open, extending losses in its worst week since January","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118271544","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stocks fell on Friday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average on pace to post its worst week sinc","content":"<p>U.S. stocks fell on Friday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average on pace to post its worst week since January, as bank shares led the market sell-off after the Federal Reserve's latest policy update.</p>\n<p>The blue-chip average dropped 400 points, bringing its week-to-date losses to 2.8% The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.8%, pushing its loss this week to more than 1%.

stocks are so-named because of their ability to brave through multiple economic cycles.Such stocks qualify as a dependable layer of stocks to serve as the bedrock of investors’ portfolios.In addition to remaining resilient in the face of economic headwinds, most blue-chip stocks also dish out a dividend.This source of passive income, coupled with the peace of mind afforded by this category of stocks, makes them a popular choice for many investors.Here are four Singapore blue-chip stocks that could be perfect for your portfolio.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39)OCBC is Singapore’s second-largest bank by market capitalisation.The lender offers a comprehensive range of services including banking, insurance, and investments for both individuals and corporations.OCBC released a sparkling set of earnings for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024).Net interest income rose 4% year on year to S$2.4 billion for the quarter.Total income increased by 8% year on year to S$3.6 billion while operating profit improved by the same quantum to S$2.3 billion.Net profit rose 5% year on year to a record high of S$1.98 billion.OCBC not only reported its highest-ever quarterly profit but has also been steadily increasing its annual dividend.From 2020 to 2023, its yearly dividend increased from S$0.318 to S$0.82.CEO Helen Wong remains confident about the year ahead and believes that the group is on track to deliver on its strategic initiatives.The bank recently made an offer to purchase the remaining shares of Great Eastern Holdings (SGX: G07) that it does not own.If successful, the insurer will help to enhance OCBC’s profits and improve its return on equity.Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX: S63)Singapore Technologies Engineering, or STE, is a technology and engineering group with customers across the aerospace, smart city, defence, and public security sectors.The group announced a robust set of earnings for 2023 with revenue rising nearly 12% year on year to S$10.1 billion.Operating profit increased by 24% year on year to S$915 million but would have been higher by 40% year on year at S$946 million if one-off items were excluded.Net profit excluding one-off items shot up 24% year on year to S$610 million.STE declared a final dividend of S$0.04, taking 2023’s total dividend to S$0.16.The engineering group’s 1Q 2024 saw this momentum continue.Revenue was 18% higher year on year at S$2.7 billion with two of its major divisions, Commercial Aerospace and Defence & Public Security, registering double-digit year-on-year revenue growth.STE secured contract wins of S$3 billion for 1Q 2024 which helped to propel its order book to S$27.7 billion as of 31 March 2024.Of this order book, S$6.5 billion is expected to be delivered for the rest of this year.CapitaLand Investment Limited (SGX: 9CI)CapitaLand Investment Limited, or CLI, is a global real estate manager with assets under management (AUM) of S$134 billion and funds under management (FUM) of almost S$100 billion as of 31 December 2023.The group reported a steady set of earnings for 2023 with a slight 3.2% year on year dip in revenue to S$2.8 billion.Its fee income-related business (FRB) revenue, however, improved by 8.7% year on year to S$1.1 billion.Core net profit declined by 6.7% year on year to S$568 million but CLI kept its core final dividend of S$0.12 constant from the previous year.1Q 2024 saw its FRB revenue increase by 7% year on year to S$274 million.CLI is also advancing on its capital recycling strategy with S$464 million of assets divested in 1Q 2024, sharply higher than the S$6 million sold off a year ago.The property group targets to increase its FUM to S$200 billion in five years.Meanwhile, CLI’s lodging management (LM) division also saw an improved performance as air travel and tourism recovered.LM’s fee-related earnings rose 8% year on year to S$82 million for the quarter with more than 4,600 units signed across 22 properties.Venture Corporation Limited (SGX: V01)Venture Corporation is a provider of technology products, services, and solutions and serves a variety of different sectors such as life sciences, genomics, healthcare, networking, and communications.The semiconductor sector is going through a cyclical downturn now, causing the group to report a near-27% year-on-year fall in net profit to S$270 million for 2023.Despite the weaker results, Venture still maintained its full-year dividend of S$0.75 per share.The contract manufacturing giant also generated a positive free cash flow of S$473.9 million, double the S$236.4 million churned out in 2022.1Q 2024 saw continued weakness with revenue falling nearly 19% year on year to S$666.7 million and net profit tumbling by 18.3% year on year to S$60.1 million.Management sees a better performance in the second half of 2024 compared to the first.Based on customers’ feedback, demand is strengthening in several technology domains, a good sign that the downturn may be easing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":306353575571696,"gmtCreate":1715828609186,"gmtModify":1715828613275,"author":{"id":"3585275877804031","authorId":"3585275877804031","name":"JilQ","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cb3139dd245c3734bfe1d9a9064f8d8","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can

over.</p><p>Singapore’s three big banks have handed in their report cards in an environment of “higher-for-longer” interest rates.</p><p><strong>DBS Group</strong> (SGX: D05) was the first to report and announce a stellar set of results with net profit hitting a new record.</p><p><strong>United Overseas Bank</strong> (SGX: U11), or UOB, was next but delivered a subdued performance for 1Q 2024.</p><p><strong>OCBC Ltd</strong> (SGX: O39) was the last of the trio to announce its earnings and it, too, saw its net profit hit a new record.</p><p>If you are looking for one of the banks to invest in, you are in luck.</p><p>We place the three side by side to determine which is the best bank you should purchase.</p><h2 id=\"id_2540610619\">Financials</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img

financial performance.</p><p>There was a wide spread across the trio with DBS leading the pack with a 12.6% year on year increase in total income.</p><p>DBS saw its net interest income rise 8% year on year while its fee and commission income hit a new high of S$1 billion for the quarter.</p><p>UOB, on the other hand, saw its total income remain flat year on year as its net interest income fell 2% year on year while fee income rose 5% year on year.</p><p>For net profit, DBS is the clear winner with a near-15% year on year rise to S$2.95 billion as expenses rose less than total income.</p><p>OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.</p><p>OCBC managed to improve its net profit for 1Q 2024 by 5% year on year to nearly S$2 billion.</p><p><strong>Winner: DBS</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_3203690406\">Loan book and net interest margin (NIM)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6a0d1631d729f04a1db2678f1990e943\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"307\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>Next, we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).</p><p>The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.</p><p>For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.</p><p>Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.</p><p>DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.</p><p>OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2998773557\">Cost-to-income ratio (CIR)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/907ead3182a6e6226e65326476b63afb\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>The next metric to look at is each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).</p><p>The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.</p><p>OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.</p><p>While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2158381337\">Non-performing loans (NPL) ratio</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9d0bbec405f03b498d04ff8dc494fecc\" tg-width=\"802\" tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>Moving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.</p><p>As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.</p><p>Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2373484926\">Return on equity (ROE)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2f645e00df00f75093db4ccab3ceacf1\" tg-width=\"801\" tg-height=\"221\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>A bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.</p><p>On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).</p><p>OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.</p><p><strong>Winner: DBS</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_3580577200\">Valuation</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dafa1f900a970d465b08c1d1aaeafa2b\" tg-width=\"798\" tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>When it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.</p><p>UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.</p><p><strong>Winner: UOB</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2844377570\">Get Smart: A tough choice</h2><p>A clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.</p><p>While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.</p><p>Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.</p><p>Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.</p><p>For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.</p><p>Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind.

earnings season for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024) is almost over.Singapore’s three big banks have handed in their report cards in an environment of “higher-for-longer” interest rates.DBS Group (SGX: D05) was the first to report and announce a stellar set of results with net profit hitting a new record.United Overseas Bank (SGX: U11), or UOB, was next but delivered a subdued performance for 1Q 2024.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) was the last of the trio to announce its earnings and it, too, saw its net profit hit a new record.If you are looking for one of the banks to invest in, you are in luck.We place the three side by side to determine which is the best bank you should purchase.FinancialsSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsFirst off, we look at each bank’s financial performance.There was a wide spread across the trio with DBS leading the pack with a 12.6% year on year increase in total income.DBS saw its net interest income rise 8% year on year while its fee and commission income hit a new high of S$1 billion for the quarter.UOB, on the other hand, saw its total income remain flat year on year as its net interest income fell 2% year on year while fee income rose 5% year on year.For net profit, DBS is the clear winner with a near-15% year on year rise to S$2.95 billion as expenses rose less than total income.OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.OCBC managed to improve its net profit for 1Q 2024 by 5% year on year to nearly S$2 billion.Winner: DBSLoan book and net interest margin (NIM)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsNext, we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.Winner: OCBCCost-to-income ratio (CIR)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsThe next metric to look at is each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.Winner: OCBCNon-performing loans (NPL) ratioSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsMoving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.Winner: OCBCReturn on equity (ROE)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsA bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.Winner: DBSValuationSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsWhen it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.Winner: UOBGet Smart: A tough choiceA clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind. We’ve pinpointed 5 SGX stocks known for consistent dividends. If you want to build a retirement portfolio, but don’t want the stress of stock watching, this report is for you.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eba49f5881708929949c30628eedc5d4\" tg-width=\"934\" tg-height=\"578\"><span>Annual GMV.

We also saw its GMV growth being converted into revenue growth as its China commerce revenue grew from 7.67B yuan to 473.68B yuan, at a CAGR of 51% over the last 10 years. While its international footprint remains considerably smaller, it still grew at a CAGR of 30.42% over the last 10 years, which was by no means slow.</p>\n<p>Even though China’s e-commerce market is expected to grow considerably slower at a CAGR of 12.4% over the next three years, from 13.8T yuan, equivalent to $2.16T in 2021 to 19.6T yuan,equivalent to $3.06T by 2024, the massive size of the market still offers tremendous upside potential for BABA and its closest competitors to grow into.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ffe2dee43f267e1d1399c68e3ca60f36\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>E-commerce revenue in the U.S. Data source: Statista</span></p>\n<p>When we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the U.S. e-commerce market is only expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.67% from 2021 to 2025, which is significantly slower than China’s 12.4%. In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d5a8d0d8a6a2dcdf667a6f33c6c9771\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"702\"><span>Peers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>Even though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&amp;A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.</p>\n<p>One important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of&nbsp;823M AAC&nbsp;in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only&nbsp;100M AAC in Q2’C17&nbsp;as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b83b69b08b1f4b11a26393c8e6eead5\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Market size of community group buying in China.

Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b97b2b4a8a182dc9846d8fb7e4039877\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"770\"><span>PDD profitability metrics &amp; revenue growth forecast.

More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3aadc32155b4108426a1a982e3b5b1c2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>China public cloud spending.

While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist. With BABA’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, I’m increasingly bullish on the future profit and FCF contribution from this segment to BABA’s performance over time. Although BABA’s cloud segment has not been EBIT profitable yet (FY 21 EBIT margin: -15%, FY 20 EBIT margin: -17.5%), it’s also useful to note that GCP has also not been profitable for Alphabet as well (FY 20 EBIT margin: -42.9%, FY 19 EBIT margin: -52%). Therefore, we need to give BABA some time to scale up its cloud services in APAC and in China where it is expected to have stronger leadership to allow it to grow faster and investors should expect this to be a highly profitable segment over time.</p>\n<p><b>BABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62a087c4b3ef7efc2c5dde813e3b959d\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"600\"><span>NTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2605c0e5ad364a7a43929fef204595c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"687\"><span>EV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend.

When considering the health of its long term uptrend, it’s clear that BABA has a relatively strong uptrend bias and has generally been well supported along its key 50W MA. The only other time in the last 4 years that it lost its key 50W MA support level was during the 2018 bear market where BABA dropped about 40%, but was still well supported above the important 200W MA, which we usually consider as the “last line of defense”. Right now BABA is somewhat facing a similar situation again: down 34%, lost the 50W MA, but looks to be well supported above the 200W MA. In addition to that, one interesting observation in price action analysis may lead price action traders/investors to be especially bullish: a potential double bottom formation. BABA's price is seemingly going through a double bottom like it did during the 2018 bear market before it rallied strongly thereafter. As a result, BABA’s current level may offer a possible technical buy entry point now.\nBABA's Fundamental Thesis: Rapidly Expanding Growth Drivers\nAnnual GMV. Data source: Company filings\nAnnual e-commerce revenue. Data source: Company filings\nBABA’s GMV grew from 1.68T yuan to 7.49T yuan in just a matter of 7 years, which represented a CAGR of 23.8%, a truly amazing growth rate. We also saw its GMV growth being converted into revenue growth as its China commerce revenue grew from 7.67B yuan to 473.68B yuan, at a CAGR of 51% over the last 10 years. While its international footprint remains considerably smaller, it still grew at a CAGR of 30.42% over the last 10 years, which was by no means slow.\nEven though China’s e-commerce market is expected to grow considerably slower at a CAGR of 12.4% over the next three years, from 13.8T yuan, equivalent to $2.16T in 2021 to 19.6T yuan,equivalent to $3.06T by 2024, the massive size of the market still offers tremendous upside potential for BABA and its closest competitors to grow into.\nE-commerce revenue in the U.S. Data source: Statista\nWhen we take things into clearer perspective by comparing China’s growth rate and size of its market to that of the U.S. e-commerce market, we could see the huge differences in their sizes and growth rates as the U.S. e-commerce market is only expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.67% from 2021 to 2025, which is significantly slower than China’s 12.4%. In addition, the U.S. market is also expected to reach about $563B in total revenue, which is 18% of what the China market is expected to be worth by then.\nPeers EBIT Margin and Projected EBIT Margin. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nEven though Alibaba has been facing increased competitive pressures from its fast growing key competitors: JD.com(NASDAQ:JD)and Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD), BABA has already been operating a much more profitable business (both EBIT and FCF), and is expected to continue delivering strong profitability moving forward, which should give the company tremendous flexibility to compete head on with JD and PDD in its quest to extend its leadership. Investors may observe that BABA’s EBIT margin was affected by the one-off administrative penalty of $2,782M that was reflected in its SG&A, and therefore skewed its EBIT margin to the downside.\nOne important move was the company’s decision to further its investment in the Community Marketplace, which is PDD’s main e-commerce strategy that saw PDD gain a total of 823M AAC in its latest quarter as compared to BABA’s 891M AAC. PDD’s AAC growth is truly phenomenal considering it had only 100M AAC in Q2’C17 as compared to BABA’s 466M AAC in the same period.\nTherefore, the momentum of growth has surely swung over to the Community Marketplace segment and BABA would need to pull out its big guns (which it has) to compete for dominance with PDD and JD.\nMarket size of community group buying in China. Data source: iiMedia Research\nEven though the expected total market size of 102B yuan by 2022 represented only about 21.5% of BABA’s FY 21 China commerce revenue, the expected rapid CAGR of 44.22% over 3 years from 2019 to 2022 cannot be missed by BABA. Although the market is still relatively small, BABA cannot allow the current leader in this market: PDD to so easily dominate and gobble up the early high growth rates at the ignorance of everyone else. Certainly BABA must compete and fight for its place in this segment and strive for early leadership to prevent PDD from extending its lead.\nPDD profitability metrics & revenue growth forecast. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWe could observe from the above chart that PDD is expected to continue growing its revenue rapidly over the next few years, even though they are expected to normalize subsequently. More importantly, PDD is also expected to increasingly improve its EBIT and FCF profitability moving forward. This shows that the Community Marketplace segment is an highly important growth driver that BABA must use its strength to exploit in order to deny PDD’s claim to undisputed leadership so early on in the game.\nChina public cloud spending. Source:China Internet Watch; Canalys\nSize of China public cloud market. Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn\nBABA has a 40% share in China’s public cloud market, way ahead of its key competitors. However, it’s important to note that despite this leadership, BABA is still in heavy investment mode to continue growing its market share as China’s public cloud market is expected to grow from 26.48B yuan in 2017 to 230.74B yuan by 2023, which would represent a CAGR of 43.4%, an incredibly stellar growth rate. This is especially clear when we compare China’s growth rate to the worldwide growth rate (see below) as public cloud spending worldwide is expected to grow from $145B in 2017 to $397B by 2022, that would represent a CAGR of 22.3%.\nWorldwide public cloud spending. Data source: Gartner\nWorldwide public cloud market share. Source:CnTechPost; Gartner\nTherefore, I don’t find it surprising that Ali Cloud has continued to extend its lead over Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG)GCP with a market share of 9.5% in 2020. While AMZN remains the clear leader in the market, its market share has been coming down considerably as public cloud spending continues to expand, indicating that there is a huge potential for growth for multiple players to exist.

If you owned the stock coming into 2021, it was a lot of fun watching the per-share price go from about $17 to the current $212.</p>\n<p>But you shouldn't get lulled into buying the hype surrounding this meme stock. The run was partly fueled by a Reddit group, which promoted the stock and also created a short squeeze that led the price higher. That makes for great headlines, but there are strong reasons to avoid getting pulled in.</p>\n<h2>Trying to transition</h2>\n<p>GameStop, which sells video game consoles and software, was already experiencing weakening sales heading into 2020. Same-store sales (comps) fell by 19.4% in 2019, following that up with a 9.5% drop last year.</p>\n<p>While the company was experiencing strong sales growth for a long time, the last few years have been rough. It posted negative comps in four out of the last five years. That's due in no small part to a world that is changing, and people can increasingly download games from a variety of reputable companies such as Epic Games, Steam, <b> Microsoft</b>, and <b> Sony</b>.</p>\n<p>A major investor saw an opportunity to turn around GameStop's fortunes. RC Ventures, headed by Ryan Cohen, founder of the online company <b>Chewy</b>, built a 13% ownership in the company. He is now chairman of GameStop and has made key management changes, including hiring a new CEO and CFO who previously worked for <b>Amazon</b>.</p>\n<p>Clearly, Cohen has committed his financial resources and time to making GameStop successful. While he built up impressive credentials at Chewy, which PetSmart bought for $3.4 billion (and still owns a majority stake in despite taking the company public), can he work his magic this time around?</p>\n<h2>Don't get fooled</h2>\n<p>It's a tough road to get GameStop moving in the right direction. Management didn't provide a comparable sales figure, but the fiscal first quarter's top line did increase by better than 25% to $1.3 billion for the period ended on May 1. But you shouldn't get overly excited by this impressive headline figure.</p>\n<p>It is difficult to make year-over-year comparisons since the company cut its store base by 12%. While this would make the sales growth seem more impressive, remember, GameStop was forced to close stores last year due to the pandemic. So this depressed the year-ago figure. Then, the current period benefited from Sony and Microsoft releasing new game consoles last year. This will prove to be a temporary lift since it's a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-time purchase.</p>\n<p>The company will need to follow this up with improved game sales. However, software sales were down during the period. While the company blamed this on lower used game inventory, it has gotten a boost in the past when companies released new systems. This suggests that GameStop's hope for a multi-year bounce from the new systems is already facing hurdles.</p>\n<h2>Details lacking</h2>\n<p>While the new management team has online e-commerce experience, details on a plan forward remain lacking.

If you owned the stock coming into 2021, it was a lot of fun watching the per-share price go from about $17 to the current $212.\nBut you shouldn't get lulled into buying the hype surrounding this meme stock. The run was partly fueled by a Reddit group, which promoted the stock and also created a short squeeze that led the price higher. That makes for great headlines, but there are strong reasons to avoid getting pulled in.\nTrying to transition\nGameStop, which sells video game consoles and software, was already experiencing weakening sales heading into 2020. Same-store sales (comps) fell by 19.4% in 2019, following that up with a 9.5% drop last year.\nWhile the company was experiencing strong sales growth for a long time, the last few years have been rough. It posted negative comps in four out of the last five years. That's due in no small part to a world that is changing, and people can increasingly download games from a variety of reputable companies such as Epic Games, Steam,  Microsoft, and  Sony.\nA major investor saw an opportunity to turn around GameStop's fortunes. RC Ventures, headed by Ryan Cohen, founder of the online company Chewy, built a 13% ownership in the company. He is now chairman of GameStop and has made key management changes, including hiring a new CEO and CFO who previously worked for Amazon.\nClearly, Cohen has committed his financial resources and time to making GameStop successful. While he built up impressive credentials at Chewy, which PetSmart bought for $3.4 billion (and still owns a majority stake in despite taking the company public), can he work his magic this time around?\nDon't get fooled\nIt's a tough road to get GameStop moving in the right direction. Management didn't provide a comparable sales figure, but the fiscal first quarter's top line did increase by better than 25% to $1.3 billion for the period ended on May 1. But you shouldn't get overly excited by this impressive headline figure.\nIt is difficult to make year-over-year comparisons since the company cut its store base by 12%. While this would make the sales growth seem more impressive, remember, GameStop was forced to close stores last year due to the pandemic. So this depressed the year-ago figure. Then, the current period benefited from Sony and Microsoft releasing new game consoles last year. This will prove to be a temporary lift since it's a one-time purchase.\nThe company will need to follow this up with improved game sales. However, software sales were down during the period. While the company blamed this on lower used game inventory, it has gotten a boost in the past when companies released new systems. This suggests that GameStop's hope for a multi-year bounce from the new systems is already facing hurdles.\nDetails lacking\nWhile the new management team has online e-commerce experience, details on a plan forward remain lacking. Undoubtedly, that is coming as the executives meet and figure out where they want to go. However, with stiff online competition, it is tough to invest in the company without knowing how it will turn itself around and get sales back to sustained profitability.\nThat's why you should leave GameStop's shares on the shelf.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":57,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
