Bouncing between $21.50 and $26.50 ever since May, it appears to be stuck. Granted, if you'd bought at the lower end of that range, you'd be up a handsome 23% by now. But if you had bought at the all-time high of $39.58, you'd be hurting. As of this writing, PLTR stock was sitting at about $26.6, down 32% from that elevated price.</p>\n<p>On the surface, Palantir's recent stock moves have been perplexing. Palantir's most recent earningsbeat on both revenue and EPS,yet the stock has not gone anywhere near its previous highs. What are the markets thinking here?</p>\n<p>It's not easy to say. Mr. Market can be a fickle little fellow, and his behavior isn't always dictated by fundamentals. But one thing that may be influencing Palantir's tepid performance as of late is dilution. In the third quarter of 2020, Palantir had905 million shares outstanding. By the second quarter of 2021, that figure hadgrown to 1.89 billion. As I wrote in arecent Tweet, that's a greater than 100% increase in shares outstanding (1.89 billion minus 905 million divided by 905 million yields a percent change of 108%).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f298c0812e557a7c33655d6d14c88217\" tg-width=\"566\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">As of Palantir's recent earnings release, it had 1.89 billion shares outstanding - a 108% increase from the third quarter of 2020. The period covered here is the trailing 12-month period, so we're talking about share count<i>doubling</i>in just a year.</p>\n<p>That's a fair amount of dilution. And it is quite likely that it is affecting the stock price. Palantir insiders are known to have unloaded stock immediately after their lockup period expired. According to&nbsp;<i>Simply Wall Street,</i>&nbsp;insiders sold $440 million worth of shares in the first three days of trading, and $600 million more in the week after that. So, not only are new shares being issued, they're being added to the public float. This sort of thing tends to depress stock prices because it increases the supply of shares. Unless demand increases, a stock's price will go down during a wave of insider selling.</p>\n<p>That is why I've&nbsp;changed my rating&nbsp;on Palantir from bullish to neutral. I think that this stock probably will enjoy upside in the long run if the dilution eases off, but this year, it will be difficult for PLTR to run ahead of the selling pressure it's under. At $22, I was quite bullish on the stock, but at $26.6 I think it's near the top of the range it's likely to trade in for quite some time. Accordingly I'll develop a neutral thesis on PLTR in this article, arguing that investors are unlikely to lose their shirts on it but probably won't realize massive gains (in the short term) either.</p>\n<p><b>Examining Palantir's Dilution in Detail</b></p>\n<p>When we talk about a company's share count, there are three possible things we could be referring to:</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Shares outstanding.</b>The number of shares that currently exist. When calculating diluted EPS, this includes options and convertible securities.</li>\n <li><b>Public float.</b>The number of shares that are available to be publicly traded.</li>\n <li><b>Fully diluted shares.</b>The number of shares that would exist if stock options and convertible securities - including those not yet vested - were to be exercised.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>In Palantir's case, these share counts are not identical. Usually, shares outstanding used for diluted EPS are the same as fully diluted shares, but Palantir's definition of \"fully diluted shares\" includes stock warrants that don't actually exist yet. Primarily, stock options that have been granted but won't be issued until employees hit their performance targets. The company currently has250 million warrants&nbsp;that won't technically exist until employees hit these milestones. These do not make it into the company's shares outstanding count - not even in the diluted EPS calculation.</p>\n<p>PLTR's weighted average shares outstanding as of the most recent quarter was 1.89 billion. Its float,&nbsp;according to FinViz, was 1.63 billion. Diluted shares were the same as shares outstanding (1.89 billion) in the Q2 press release, although an&nbsp;earlier filing&nbsp;suggests that the count reaches 2.17 billion if you include options and warrants that can't be exercised until way later. If you add 250 million to 1.89 billion, you get to 2.14 billion - almost the same as the fully diluted share count. This corroborates my theory that the un-vested warrants account for the difference between shares outstanding and fully diluted shares.</p>\n<p>Based on these numbers, we can evaluate how much Palantir's equity has been diluted in the past four quarters.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>As mentioned earlier, shares outstanding has gone from 905 million to 1.89 billion, a 108% increase. PLTR had as few as 574 million shares in 2019. We've seen a 229% increase since then - but that count is from before PLTR was public, so is immaterial to this discussion.</li>\n <li>Estimates of Palantir's float range from 1.53 billion to 1.68 billion according tofloatchecker.com. Since Palantir is a recent listing, the count is up from zero. At least $1.04 billion worth of shares were added to the float right after the listing, because that's the number of shares unloaded by insiders in the&nbsp;first 10 days of trading.</li>\n <li>Fully diluted shares probably haven't increased as much as either shares outstanding or float. Companies aren't under any obligation to report \"granted but not vested\" employee stock options, and Palantir hasn't done so since its prospectus. However, Palantir's stock compensation expense has decreased since it went public, so the number is likely growing slower than it had been previously.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>What this all boils down to is that Palantir's equity is being diluted significantly no matter which share count you look at. Shares outstanding, float, it's all up. With that said, we may have seen the worst of this. As mentioned already, the amount of stock-based compensation is going down. One analyst forecast future dilution of 4% per year, which is far outpaced by Palantir's revenue growth.</p>\n<p><b>Palantir's Recent Earnings</b></p>\n<p>As we've seen already, Palantir has been seeing some serious dilution brought on by stock-based compensation. It is what it is. The good news is that Palantir's revenue and EBITDA are growing at a rapid pace, and may ultimately grow faster than the number of shares.</p>\n<p>For the most recent quarter, Palantir posted the following results:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Revenue: $376 million, up 49%.</li>\n <li>Total contract value: $925 million, up 175%.</li>\n <li>Net new customers: 20, up 13% quarter-over-quarter.</li>\n <li>Gross profit: $90 million, up 32%.</li>\n <li>Cash from operations (six-month): $139 million, up from a $226 million outflow.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>As you can see, many of Palantir's key financial and operating metrics improved considerably in Q2. GAAP diluted EPS was still a loss at $-0.07, although adjusted EPS was positive at $0.04. If EPS were to stay at $0.04 for the next three quarters, then we'd end up with $0.16 in annualized EPS. That yields a 166 P/E ratio. The price/operating cash flow ratio is even higher at 374. Not exactly cheap.</p>\n<p>However, we need to account for Palantir's growth potential. Since going public, Palantir has managed to maintain revenue growth in the high 40% to low 50% range. If EPS could grow in line with revenue, then we'd have an ever increasing adjusted EPS figure taking the multiple lower based on today's price. Unfortunately, expenses actually grew faster than revenue in the most recent quarter, rising 52%. For the six-month period, expenses grew even more, at 57%. Now, according to analyst Michael Page, dilution is expected to run at about 4% per year for the foreseeable future. We have got revenue running well ahead of that rate, but on the other hand, there is no clear trend of operating profitability. So it's a very mixed picture we're seeing here - hence my neutral rating on the stock.</p>\n<p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p>\n<p>As we've seen, Palantir is a fast-growing stock with some major dilution on its hands. In my view, it's going to perform about in line with the market, or keep trading in its established range, in the near term. But there are some risks and challenges even to this fairly tepid thesis. They include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Continued growth in expenses.</b>&nbsp;Palantir's expenses have been growing faster than its revenue lately. A lot of these expenses are stock compensation - hence cash flow being positive while operating earnings are negative - but they are expenses nonetheless. We expect companies to lose money when they're fresh out of their IPO but this is a company with 17 years of pre-IPO history. We'll want to see that stock compensation expense come down.</li>\n <li><b>The stock options vs. cash pay catch-22.</b>&nbsp;Palantir has so far managed to keep its operating cash flows positive by paying employees in stock options rather than heavy amounts of cash. If the company aims to get its dilution down to 4% a year, then it will probably have to start paying employees more salary. That will cause dilution to ease off but also eat into operating cash flow and related metrics like free cash flow.</li>\n <li><b>Competition.</b>&nbsp;Palantir has a pretty solid moat in its core business of providing data software to large government agencies. But it faces stiff competition when reaching out to private sector clients. The companies offering data platforms to private businesses are legion. And this is where Palantir needs to look to fuel future growth because there are only so many Department of Defense contracts to go around.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>The bottom line on Palantir is this:</p>\n<p>It's a high growth business that unfortunately is seeing its expenses grow every bit as much as its revenue. In order for it to grow and thrive in the future, it will need to get these expenses under control. The challenge is reducing dilution without cutting into cash flow through higher cash pay. If the company can get dilution down to 4% as estimated above, maybe this dilemma won't matter so much. But if it keeps running at 100% a year?

Bouncing between $21.50 and $26.50 ever since May, it appears to be stuck. Granted, if you'd bought at the lower end of that range, you'd be up a handsome 23% by now. But if you had bought at the all-time high of $39.58, you'd be hurting. As of this writing, PLTR stock was sitting at about $26.6, down 32% from that elevated price.\nOn the surface, Palantir's recent stock moves have been perplexing. Palantir's most recent earningsbeat on both revenue and EPS,yet the stock has not gone anywhere near its previous highs. What are the markets thinking here?\nIt's not easy to say. Mr. Market can be a fickle little fellow, and his behavior isn't always dictated by fundamentals. But one thing that may be influencing Palantir's tepid performance as of late is dilution. In the third quarter of 2020, Palantir had905 million shares outstanding. By the second quarter of 2021, that figure hadgrown to 1.89 billion. As I wrote in arecent Tweet, that's a greater than 100% increase in shares outstanding (1.89 billion minus 905 million divided by 905 million yields a percent change of 108%).\nAs of Palantir's recent earnings release, it had 1.89 billion shares outstanding - a 108% increase from the third quarter of 2020. The period covered here is the trailing 12-month period, so we're talking about share countdoublingin just a year.\nThat's a fair amount of dilution. And it is quite likely that it is affecting the stock price. Palantir insiders are known to have unloaded stock immediately after their lockup period expired. According to Simply Wall Street, insiders sold $440 million worth of shares in the first three days of trading, and $600 million more in the week after that. So, not only are new shares being issued, they're being added to the public float. This sort of thing tends to depress stock prices because it increases the supply of shares. Unless demand increases, a stock's price will go down during a wave of insider selling.\nThat is why I've changed my rating on Palantir from bullish to neutral. I think that this stock probably will enjoy upside in the long run if the dilution eases off, but this year, it will be difficult for PLTR to run ahead of the selling pressure it's under. At $22, I was quite bullish on the stock, but at $26.6 I think it's near the top of the range it's likely to trade in for quite some time. Accordingly I'll develop a neutral thesis on PLTR in this article, arguing that investors are unlikely to lose their shirts on it but probably won't realize massive gains (in the short term) either.\nExamining Palantir's Dilution in Detail\nWhen we talk about a company's share count, there are three possible things we could be referring to:\n\nShares outstanding.The number of shares that currently exist. When calculating diluted EPS, this includes options and convertible securities.\nPublic float.The number of shares that are available to be publicly traded.\nFully diluted shares.The number of shares that would exist if stock options and convertible securities - including those not yet vested - were to be exercised.\n\nIn Palantir's case, these share counts are not identical. Usually, shares outstanding used for diluted EPS are the same as fully diluted shares, but Palantir's definition of \"fully diluted shares\" includes stock warrants that don't actually exist yet. Primarily, stock options that have been granted but won't be issued until employees hit their performance targets. The company currently has250 million warrants that won't technically exist until employees hit these milestones. These do not make it into the company's shares outstanding count - not even in the diluted EPS calculation.\nPLTR's weighted average shares outstanding as of the most recent quarter was 1.89 billion. Its float, according to FinViz, was 1.63 billion. Diluted shares were the same as shares outstanding (1.89 billion) in the Q2 press release, although an earlier filing suggests that the count reaches 2.17 billion if you include options and warrants that can't be exercised until way later. If you add 250 million to 1.89 billion, you get to 2.14 billion - almost the same as the fully diluted share count. This corroborates my theory that the un-vested warrants account for the difference between shares outstanding and fully diluted shares.\nBased on these numbers, we can evaluate how much Palantir's equity has been diluted in the past four quarters.\n\nAs mentioned earlier, shares outstanding has gone from 905 million to 1.89 billion, a 108% increase. PLTR had as few as 574 million shares in 2019. We've seen a 229% increase since then - but that count is from before PLTR was public, so is immaterial to this discussion.\nEstimates of Palantir's float range from 1.53 billion to 1.68 billion according tofloatchecker.com. Since Palantir is a recent listing, the count is up from zero. At least $1.04 billion worth of shares were added to the float right after the listing, because that's the number of shares unloaded by insiders in the first 10 days of trading.\nFully diluted shares probably haven't increased as much as either shares outstanding or float. Companies aren't under any obligation to report \"granted but not vested\" employee stock options, and Palantir hasn't done so since its prospectus. However, Palantir's stock compensation expense has decreased since it went public, so the number is likely growing slower than it had been previously.\n\nWhat this all boils down to is that Palantir's equity is being diluted significantly no matter which share count you look at. Shares outstanding, float, it's all up. With that said, we may have seen the worst of this. As mentioned already, the amount of stock-based compensation is going down. One analyst forecast future dilution of 4% per year, which is far outpaced by Palantir's revenue growth.\nPalantir's Recent Earnings\nAs we've seen already, Palantir has been seeing some serious dilution brought on by stock-based compensation. It is what it is. The good news is that Palantir's revenue and EBITDA are growing at a rapid pace, and may ultimately grow faster than the number of shares.\nFor the most recent quarter, Palantir posted the following results:\n\nRevenue: $376 million, up 49%.\nTotal contract value: $925 million, up 175%.\nNet new customers: 20, up 13% quarter-over-quarter.\nGross profit: $90 million, up 32%.\nCash from operations (six-month): $139 million, up from a $226 million outflow.\n\nAs you can see, many of Palantir's key financial and operating metrics improved considerably in Q2. GAAP diluted EPS was still a loss at $-0.07, although adjusted EPS was positive at $0.04. If EPS were to stay at $0.04 for the next three quarters, then we'd end up with $0.16 in annualized EPS. That yields a 166 P/E ratio. The price/operating cash flow ratio is even higher at 374. Not exactly cheap.\nHowever, we need to account for Palantir's growth potential. Since going public, Palantir has managed to maintain revenue growth in the high 40% to low 50% range. If EPS could grow in line with revenue, then we'd have an ever increasing adjusted EPS figure taking the multiple lower based on today's price. Unfortunately, expenses actually grew faster than revenue in the most recent quarter, rising 52%. For the six-month period, expenses grew even more, at 57%. Now, according to analyst Michael Page, dilution is expected to run at about 4% per year for the foreseeable future. We have got revenue running well ahead of that rate, but on the other hand, there is no clear trend of operating profitability. So it's a very mixed picture we're seeing here - hence my neutral rating on the stock.\nRisks and Challenges\nAs we've seen, Palantir is a fast-growing stock with some major dilution on its hands. In my view, it's going to perform about in line with the market, or keep trading in its established range, in the near term. But there are some risks and challenges even to this fairly tepid thesis. They include:\n\nContinued growth in expenses. Palantir's expenses have been growing faster than its revenue lately. A lot of these expenses are stock compensation - hence cash flow being positive while operating earnings are negative - but they are expenses nonetheless. We expect companies to lose money when they're fresh out of their IPO but this is a company with 17 years of pre-IPO history. We'll want to see that stock compensation expense come down.\nThe stock options vs. cash pay catch-22. Palantir has so far managed to keep its operating cash flows positive by paying employees in stock options rather than heavy amounts of cash. If the company aims to get its dilution down to 4% a year, then it will probably have to start paying employees more salary. That will cause dilution to ease off but also eat into operating cash flow and related metrics like free cash flow.\nCompetition. Palantir has a pretty solid moat in its core business of providing data software to large government agencies. But it faces stiff competition when reaching out to private sector clients. The companies offering data platforms to private businesses are legion. And this is where Palantir needs to look to fuel future growth because there are only so many Department of Defense contracts to go around.\n\nThe Bottom Line\nThe bottom line on Palantir is this:\nIt's a high growth business that unfortunately is seeing its expenses grow every bit as much as its revenue. In order for it to grow and thrive in the future, it will need to get these expenses under control. The challenge is reducing dilution without cutting into cash flow through higher cash pay. If the company can get dilution down to 4% as estimated above, maybe this dilemma won't matter so much. But if it keeps running at 100% a year? We've got a problem on our hands.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":472,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":888168763,"gmtCreate":1631458075252,"gmtModify":1676530551087,"author":{"id":"3586302070197771","authorId":"3586302070197771","name":"bluesea2021","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73eb680e3d17db63abd07c00f7afd3e0","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586302070197771","authorIdStr":"3586302070197771"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$Verizon(VZ)$</a>&nbsp;all the way down.

If you had told someone that technology giant Apple (AAPL) would have reported two of the biggest earnings beats in corporate history so far this year and yet the stock would have significantly underperformed the NASDAQ Index, they might not have believed you. However, that's just where we are now, as the chart below shows how the stock has declined 5.1% through Monday despite the Index's nice gains. Today, I'd like to discuss why I believe shares are doing poorly at the moment, why these bearish points should be mostly discounted, and how Apple can get back to all-time highs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c4a0333188c18d1f43e4e85b41523a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\">(<i>Source: Yahoo! Finance)</i></p>\n<p>The first thing I can point to as a reason for underperformance is actually outperformance. Apple shares over the past five years, prior to the start of this one, had gone from the mid $20s (dividend and split-adjusted) to roughly $132 a share. The stock was a big winner and thus expectations continued to go higher and higher. Some investors just weren't willing to bet on a company worth a bit more than $2 trillion, and a number of last year's winners have struggled so far this year, like Tesla (TSLA) and Amazon (AMZN).</p>\n<p>In my last Apple article, I discussed how the company was becominga victim of its own success. Because the two earnings reports so far this year were so great, the thought process has shifted to can Apple ever do any better? In this case, I'm not talking about strict dollar amounts, but growth percentages. Look at the chart below, showing how once we hit the December 2021 (fiscal Q1 2022) quarter, revenue growth rates are expected to crash down.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b61b66cfb83a8e7f307580dd6277be6\" tg-width=\"625\" tg-height=\"397\">(<i>Source: Seeking Alpha estimates page,seen here)</i></p>\n<p>I said previously that Apple bears would jump at the possibility of Apple announcing a revenue decline for the March 2022 fiscal quarter, even if it is due to the previous year being one of the best quarters we've ever seen. Fortunately, Apple's overall revenue trajectory remains strong, and I think management has a solid plan in place. Just like we saw with the iPad earlier this year, I think new storage options on this year's iPhones will allow for average selling price upside, offsetting some concerns of a supercycle sales slowdown.</p>\n<p>Also, despite Apple having a great start to the year, Macmarket share wasonly 8% in calendar Q1, so imagine how much more room there is to grow in the PC space. I'm not concerned with a revenue blip every now and then if the long-term trajectory is still for more records, which is what most expectations call for in the coming years.</p>\n<p>The second item I believe investors are a little worried about is the potential for rising taxes. The first part of this would obviously be higher taxes on the rich, especially capital gains taxes, that could limit investment in stocks. For Apple though, the issue would be higher corporate taxes, which obviously would impact the profit monster. For instance, the difference between an overall tax rate of 15% versus 18% for Apple in its fiscal 2022 year (based on current estimates) is roughly $3 billion in net income, or almost 20 cents in EPS. A nickel per quarter headwind makes it harder to impress investors, especially when you are coming off the best year in your history.</p>\n<p>In a similar manner, investors are likely concerned about the potential rise in interest rates and ending of easy money policies around the globe. Stocks have been pushed to new all-time highs as a result, but what happens when the Fed starts to taper and other central banks follow suit? Apple shares had run to a forward P/E valuation in the low to mid 30s, well above themid-teens figure it was at just a few years ago.</p>\n<p>But with the decline in shares from their highs and the rise in EPS estimates after two large beats, you are now paying about 24 times the next twelve months' expected EPS. That's not a terrible price to pay considering the total package, including the massive buyback, and theaverage analyst price targetrepresents more than $30 upside from current levels. Interestingly enough, rising interest rates are actually good further down the Apple income statement, as its $80 billion or so in net cash will generate a bit of extra interest.</p>\n<p>Right now, Apple shares are stuck in a trading range, as the chart below shows. The 50-day moving average (purple line) is forming resistance, while the 200-day (orange line) is forming support. The next major move can occur once Apple can get out of this channel, and investors are hoping it is to the upside, which could form the base to get the stock to new highs. If shares drop, the 50-day could cross below its longer-term counterpart, which would be the dreaded technical death cross.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1e9824e0460f9dd99f18e189ee0cff4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"269\">(<i>Source: Yahoo! Finance)</i></p>\n<p>While Apple as a business has been firing on all cylinders lately, the same cannot be said for shares of the stock.

If you had told someone that technology giant Apple (AAPL) would have reported two of the biggest earnings beats in corporate history so far this year and yet the stock would have significantly underperformed the NASDAQ Index, they might not have believed you. However, that's just where we are now, as the chart below shows how the stock has declined 5.1% through Monday despite the Index's nice gains. Today, I'd like to discuss why I believe shares are doing poorly at the moment, why these bearish points should be mostly discounted, and how Apple can get back to all-time highs.\n(Source: Yahoo! Finance)\nThe first thing I can point to as a reason for underperformance is actually outperformance. Apple shares over the past five years, prior to the start of this one, had gone from the mid $20s (dividend and split-adjusted) to roughly $132 a share. The stock was a big winner and thus expectations continued to go higher and higher. Some investors just weren't willing to bet on a company worth a bit more than $2 trillion, and a number of last year's winners have struggled so far this year, like Tesla (TSLA) and Amazon (AMZN).\nIn my last Apple article, I discussed how the company was becominga victim of its own success. Because the two earnings reports so far this year were so great, the thought process has shifted to can Apple ever do any better? In this case, I'm not talking about strict dollar amounts, but growth percentages. Look at the chart below, showing how once we hit the December 2021 (fiscal Q1 2022) quarter, revenue growth rates are expected to crash down.\n(Source: Seeking Alpha estimates page,seen here)\nI said previously that Apple bears would jump at the possibility of Apple announcing a revenue decline for the March 2022 fiscal quarter, even if it is due to the previous year being one of the best quarters we've ever seen. Fortunately, Apple's overall revenue trajectory remains strong, and I think management has a solid plan in place. Just like we saw with the iPad earlier this year, I think new storage options on this year's iPhones will allow for average selling price upside, offsetting some concerns of a supercycle sales slowdown.\nAlso, despite Apple having a great start to the year, Macmarket share wasonly 8% in calendar Q1, so imagine how much more room there is to grow in the PC space. I'm not concerned with a revenue blip every now and then if the long-term trajectory is still for more records, which is what most expectations call for in the coming years.\nThe second item I believe investors are a little worried about is the potential for rising taxes. The first part of this would obviously be higher taxes on the rich, especially capital gains taxes, that could limit investment in stocks. For Apple though, the issue would be higher corporate taxes, which obviously would impact the profit monster. For instance, the difference between an overall tax rate of 15% versus 18% for Apple in its fiscal 2022 year (based on current estimates) is roughly $3 billion in net income, or almost 20 cents in EPS. A nickel per quarter headwind makes it harder to impress investors, especially when you are coming off the best year in your history.\nIn a similar manner, investors are likely concerned about the potential rise in interest rates and ending of easy money policies around the globe. Stocks have been pushed to new all-time highs as a result, but what happens when the Fed starts to taper and other central banks follow suit? Apple shares had run to a forward P/E valuation in the low to mid 30s, well above themid-teens figure it was at just a few years ago.\nBut with the decline in shares from their highs and the rise in EPS estimates after two large beats, you are now paying about 24 times the next twelve months' expected EPS. That's not a terrible price to pay considering the total package, including the massive buyback, and theaverage analyst price targetrepresents more than $30 upside from current levels. Interestingly enough, rising interest rates are actually good further down the Apple income statement, as its $80 billion or so in net cash will generate a bit of extra interest.\nRight now, Apple shares are stuck in a trading range, as the chart below shows. The 50-day moving average (purple line) is forming resistance, while the 200-day (orange line) is forming support. The next major move can occur once Apple can get out of this channel, and investors are hoping it is to the upside, which could form the base to get the stock to new highs. If shares drop, the 50-day could cross below its longer-term counterpart, which would be the dreaded technical death cross.\n(Source: Yahoo! Finance)\nWhile Apple as a business has been firing on all cylinders lately, the same cannot be said for shares of the stock. After a massive multi-year rally, it seems that investors are worried about tough growth comparisons coming up, rising interest rates, and higher corporate taxes. While these fears are something to keep in mind, the valuation of the name has improved to a point where they should mostly be digested. Now, the stock just needs to break out of its recent trading range, and getting above the 50-day could be the catalyst to get the name going again.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":889942264,"gmtCreate":1631107023958,"gmtModify":1676530469071,"author":{"id":"3586302070197771","authorId":"3586302070197771","name":"bluesea2021","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73eb680e3d17db63abd07c00f7afd3e0","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586302070197771","authorIdStr":"3586302070197771"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I want to buy it when it comes down.....

It probably won't replicate its gains from the past two decades over the next 20 years, but its core businesses remain strong, its brand inspires fierce loyalty, and it has plenty of cash to fund its future expansion plans beyond the iPhone.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":348,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3586074983708406","authorId":"3586074983708406","name":"Bryonie","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40e9091aa418c1a4602b3db85fa8cf56","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3586074983708406","authorIdStr":"3586074983708406"},"content":"Entry when the market correction or may refer indicator RSI14. if RSI>70=Overbought(people start selling) RSI<30=Oversold(people start buying)","text":"Entry when the market correction or may refer indicator RSI14. if RSI>70=Overbought(people start selling) RSI<30=Oversold(people start buying)","html":"Entry when the market correction or may refer indicator RSI14. if RSI>70=Overbought(people start selling) RSI<30=Oversold(people start buying)"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":810834953,"gmtCreate":1629961411572,"gmtModify":1676530184956,"author":{"id":"3586302070197771","authorId":"3586302070197771","name":"bluesea2021","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73eb680e3d17db63abd07c00f7afd3e0","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586302070197771","authorIdStr":"3586302070197771"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AWX.SI\">$AEM HOLDINGS LTD(AWX.SI)</a>I bought it at maket order in the morning.....

However, that's just where we are now, as the chart below shows how the stock has declined 5.1% through Monday despite the Index's nice gains.

Finance)</i></p>\n<p>The first thing I can point to as a reason for underperformance is actually outperformance. Apple shares over the past five years, prior to the start of this one, had gone from the mid $20s (dividend and split-adjusted) to roughly $132 a share. The stock was a big winner and thus expectations continued to go higher and higher. Some investors just weren't willing to bet on a company worth a bit more than $2 trillion, and a number of last year's winners have struggled so far this year, like Tesla (TSLA) and Amazon (AMZN).</p>\n<p>In my last Apple article, I discussed how the company was becominga victim of its own success. Because the two earnings reports so far this year were so great, the thought process has shifted to can Apple ever do any better? In this case, I'm not talking about strict dollar amounts, but growth percentages. Look at the chart below, showing how once we hit the December 2021 (fiscal Q1 2022) quarter, revenue growth rates are expected to crash down.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b61b66cfb83a8e7f307580dd6277be6\" tg-width=\"625\" tg-height=\"397\">(<i>Source: Seeking Alpha estimates page,seen here)</i></p>\n<p>I said previously that Apple bears would jump at the possibility of Apple announcing a revenue decline for the March 2022 fiscal quarter, even if it is due to the previous year being one of the best quarters we've ever seen. Fortunately, Apple's overall revenue trajectory remains strong, and I think management has a solid plan in place. Just like we saw with the iPad earlier this year, I think new storage options on this year's iPhones will allow for average selling price upside, offsetting some concerns of a supercycle sales slowdown.</p>\n<p>Also, despite Apple having a great start to the year, Macmarket share wasonly 8% in calendar Q1, so imagine how much more room there is to grow in the PC space. I'm not concerned with a revenue blip every now and then if the long-term trajectory is still for more records, which is what most expectations call for in the coming years.</p>\n<p>The second item I believe investors are a little worried about is the potential for rising taxes. The first part of this would obviously be higher taxes on the rich, especially capital gains taxes, that could limit investment in stocks. For Apple though, the issue would be higher corporate taxes, which obviously would impact the profit monster. For instance, the difference between an overall tax rate of 15% versus 18% for Apple in its fiscal 2022 year (based on current estimates) is roughly $3 billion in net income, or almost 20 cents in EPS. A nickel per quarter headwind makes it harder to impress investors, especially when you are coming off the best year in your history.</p>\n<p>In a similar manner, investors are likely concerned about the potential rise in interest rates and ending of easy money policies around the globe. Stocks have been pushed to new all-time highs as a result, but what happens when the Fed starts to taper and other central banks follow suit? Apple shares had run to a forward P/E valuation in the low to mid 30s, well above themid-teens figure it was at just a few years ago.</p>\n<p>But with the decline in shares from their highs and the rise in EPS estimates after two large beats, you are now paying about 24 times the next twelve months' expected EPS. That's not a terrible price to pay considering the total package, including the massive buyback, and theaverage analyst price targetrepresents more than $30 upside from current levels. Interestingly enough, rising interest rates are actually good further down the Apple income statement, as its $80 billion or so in net cash will generate a bit of extra interest.</p>\n<p>Right now, Apple shares are stuck in a trading range, as the chart below shows. The 50-day moving average (purple line) is forming resistance, while the 200-day (orange line) is forming support. The next major move can occur once Apple can get out of this channel, and investors are hoping it is to the upside, which could form the base to get the stock to new highs. If shares drop, the 50-day could cross below its longer-term counterpart, which would be the dreaded technical death cross.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1e9824e0460f9dd99f18e189ee0cff4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"269\">(<i>Source: Yahoo! Finance)</i></p>\n<p>While Apple as a business has been firing on all cylinders lately, the same cannot be said for shares of the stock. After a massive multi-year rally, it seems that investors are worried about tough growth comparisons coming up, rising interest rates, and higher corporate taxes. While these fears are something to keep in mind, the valuation of the name has improved to a point where they should mostly be digested. Now, the stock just needs to break out of its recent trading range, and getting above the 50-day could be the catalyst to get the name going again.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","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: Why Shares Are Struggling</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: Why Shares Are Struggling\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-09 17:12 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4433665-apple-why-shares-are-struggling><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nStock is down this year despite two massive earnings beats.\nHigh growth bar and rising taxes may be the two biggest culprits.\nShares need to break out of their technical range.\n\nWe are just a...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4433665-apple-why-shares-are-struggling\">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/4433665-apple-why-shares-are-struggling","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1181136591","content_text":"Summary\n\nStock is down this year despite two massive earnings beats.\nHigh growth bar and rising taxes may be the two biggest culprits.\nShares need to break out of their technical range.\n\nWe are just a few weeks away from the midpoint of 2021.

Look at the chart below, showing how once we hit the December 2021 (fiscal Q1 2022) quarter, revenue growth rates are expected to crash down.\n(Source: Seeking Alpha estimates page,seen here)\nI said previously that Apple bears would jump at the possibility of Apple announcing a revenue decline for the March 2022 fiscal quarter, even if it is due to the previous year being one of the best quarters we've ever seen. Fortunately, Apple's overall revenue trajectory remains strong, and I think management has a solid plan in place. Just like we saw with the iPad earlier this year, I think new storage options on this year's iPhones will allow for average selling price upside, offsetting some concerns of a supercycle sales slowdown.\nAlso, despite Apple having a great start to the year, Macmarket share wasonly 8% in calendar Q1, so imagine how much more room there is to grow in the PC space. I'm not concerned with a revenue blip every now and then if the long-term trajectory is still for more records, which is what most expectations call for in the coming years.\nThe second item I believe investors are a little worried about is the potential for rising taxes. The first part of this would obviously be higher taxes on the rich, especially capital gains taxes, that could limit investment in stocks. For Apple though, the issue would be higher corporate taxes, which obviously would impact the profit monster. For instance, the difference between an overall tax rate of 15% versus 18% for Apple in its fiscal 2022 year (based on current estimates) is roughly $3 billion in net income, or almost 20 cents in EPS. A nickel per quarter headwind makes it harder to impress investors, especially when you are coming off the best year in your history.\nIn a similar manner, investors are likely concerned about the potential rise in interest rates and ending of easy money policies around the globe. Stocks have been pushed to new all-time highs as a result, but what happens when the Fed starts to taper and other central banks follow suit? Apple shares had run to a forward P/E valuation in the low to mid 30s, well above themid-teens figure it was at just a few years ago.\nBut with the decline in shares from their highs and the rise in EPS estimates after two large beats, you are now paying about 24 times the next twelve months' expected EPS. That's not a terrible price to pay considering the total package, including the massive buyback, and theaverage analyst price targetrepresents more than $30 upside from current levels. Interestingly enough, rising interest rates are actually good further down the Apple income statement, as its $80 billion or so in net cash will generate a bit of extra interest.\nRight now, Apple shares are stuck in a trading range, as the chart below shows. The 50-day moving average (purple line) is forming resistance, while the 200-day (orange line) is forming support. The next major move can occur once Apple can get out of this channel, and investors are hoping it is to the upside, which could form the base to get the stock to new highs. If shares drop, the 50-day could cross below its longer-term counterpart, which would be the dreaded technical death cross.\n(Source: Yahoo! Finance)\nWhile Apple as a business has been firing on all cylinders lately, the same cannot be said for shares of the stock. After a massive multi-year rally, it seems that investors are worried about tough growth comparisons coming up, rising interest rates, and higher corporate taxes. While these fears are something to keep in mind, the valuation of the name has improved to a point where they should mostly be digested. Now, the stock just needs to break out of its recent trading range, and getting above the 50-day could be the catalyst to get the name going again.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":886044322,"gmtCreate":1631541286966,"gmtModify":1676530570475,"author":{"id":"3586302070197771","authorId":"3586302070197771","name":"bluesea2021","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73eb680e3d17db63abd07c00f7afd3e0","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586302070197771","authorIdStr":"3586302070197771"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I would buy it in the price range of 20 to 23","listText":"I would buy it in the price range of 20 to 23","text":"I would buy it in the price range of 20 to 23","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/886044322","repostId":"1104055488","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":472,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":888168763,"gmtCreate":1631458075252,"gmtModify":1676530551087,"author":{"id":"3586302070197771","authorId":"3586302070197771","name":"bluesea2021","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73eb680e3d17db63abd07c00f7afd3e0","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586302070197771","authorIdStr":"3586302070197771"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$Verizon(VZ)$</a>&nbsp;all the way down.

The video gaming segment, for example, is in the early innings of a long-term upgrade cycle.</p>\n<p>Nvidia's RTX 30 series graphics cards based on the Ampere architecture are encouraging existing users to upgrade in big numbers. That's evident from the fact that its latest-generation graphics cards have been consistently facing a stock&nbsp;shortage. Despite that limitation, Ampere is Nvidia's fastest-ramping GPU architecture with initial sales growing at twice&nbsp;the pace of the previous generation Turing architecture.</p>\n<p>More importantly, Ampere GPUs have pushed Nvidia's average selling price to $360,&nbsp;as compared to $300 during the initial sales period of the Turing cards. Nvidia has been pulling strings to improve GPU supply by restricting the cryptocurrency mining capabilities of its graphics cards, which should allow the company to cater to customers who are yet to upgrade to its latest offerings. As a result, it won't be surprising to see Nvidia ship more graphics cards to gamers in the recently concluded quarter and benefit from a combination of higher volumes and improved pricing.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the chip giant had pointed out in April this year that 85% of its installed base is yet to upgrade to an RTX series card. So, the terrific momentum of Nvidia's gaming business that produced nearly 49% of its Q1 revenue and registered 106% top-line growth year over year in Q1 can continue.</p>\n<p>The data center business is the second-most important catalyst driving Nvidia's growth. It grew 79% year over year in Q1 and accounted for 36% of the total revenue, recording its first-ever&nbsp;$2 billion quarter. Investors can expect solid growth from this segment once again as Nvidia's GPUs are being deployed by hyperscale data centers and cloud service providers to tackle artificial intelligence workloads.</p>\n<p>GPUs are the dominant&nbsp;chips when it comes to accelerating AI workloads in data centers. The demand for data center GPUs is expected to grow at an annual rate of 43.5% through 2026 to $26.2 billion, according&nbsp;to third-party research. Nvidia's data center revenue stood at $6.7 billion&nbsp;last fiscal year, so the segment has a lot of room to grow in this vertical in the long run. Throw in the fact that Nvidia is tapping other types of data center chips as well, and it would be safe to assume that this business could keep growing at impressive rates in the future.</p>\n<p>As such, a strong showing from Nvidia during its next earnings report is likely to boost the stock's momentum. That's why investors looking to buy a growth stock can consider adding Nvidia to their portfolios before it becomes more expensive, as the company seems capable of justifying its rich multiple thanks to the opportunities it is sitting on.</p>\n<h2>Applied Materials is offering solid growth at a cheap valuation</h2>\n<p>Applied Materials is an ideal bet for investors looking to buy a growth stock trading at a reasonable valuation. The stock trades&nbsp;at 28 times trailing earnings, which is lower than the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s multiple&nbsp;of 31.2. For this attractive multiple, investors can buy a stock that delivered&nbsp;41% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 and an 83% spike in adjusted earnings per share.</p>\n<p>For the third quarter, Applied Materials anticipates&nbsp;$5.92 billion in revenue and adjusted earnings of $1.76 per share at the midpoint of its guidance range. Those numbers would translate&nbsp;into a 34% year-over-year revenue jump and a 66% increase in earnings per share.</p>\n<p>Now, Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson had pointed out in the May earnings conference call that the company is \"still in the early innings of major secular trends that will play out over the next decade and drive the semiconductor and semi-equipment markets structurally higher.\"</p>\n<p>That's why investors need to focus on the big picture beyond this week's earnings report.

The company's semiconductor equipment business increased 23% in 2020, which was better than the broader market's&nbsp;19% growth. Industry association SEMI estimates&nbsp;that semiconductor equipment sales could hit $95.3 billion this year from $71.1 billion last year.
