The S&P 500 dipped 0.75% to 4,327.16 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.8% to 14,427.24.\nThe three averages closed the week lower to each snap 3-week win streaks. The Dow ended the week down 0.52%, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.97% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.87% during the same period.\n\nA U.S.consumer sentimentindex from the University of Michigan came in at 80.8 for the first half of July, down from 85.5 last month and worse than estimates from economists, who projected an increase. The report released Friday showed inflation expectations rising, with consumers believing prices will increase 4.8% in the next year, the highest level since August 2008.\nThe Dow gave up its gains early Friday shortly after the University of Michigan report came out 30 minutes into the session. Losses increased as the day went on with major averages closing at the lows of the session.\nThe consumer sentiment weakness “is at face value hard to square with the acceleration in employment growth and the continued resilience of the stock market,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, but the report “suggested that concerns over surging inflation are now outweighing those positive trends.”\nInflation fears\nThe market was held back all week by inflation fears although the S&P 500 and Dow did touch new all-time highs briefly. On Tuesday, theconsumer price indexshowed a 5.4% increase in June from a year ago, the fastest pace in nearly 13 years.\nStocks got off to a good start Friday with the Dow rising more than 100 points to above 35,000 shortly after the open.Data released before the bell showed retail and food service salesrose 0.6% in June, while economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected a 0.4% decline. If that level held, it would have been the Dow’s first close ever above 35,000.\nDespite the week’s losses, the Dow is still up 13% for the year and sits just 1.15% from an all-time high. The S&P 500 is up 15% on the year and is 1.51% below its record level.\n“The market looks broadly fairly valued to me, with most stocks priced to provide a market rate of return plus or minus a few percent,” Bill Miller, chairman and chief investment officer of Miller Value Partners,said in an investor letter.\n“There are pockets of what look like appreciable over-valuation and pockets of significant undervaluation in the US market, in my opinion. We can find plenty of names to fill our portfolios and so remain fully invested,” the value investor added.\nEnergy correction\nEnergy stocks, the hottest part of the market in 2021, fell into correction territory on Friday as oil prices pulled back from their highs.\nThe Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund fell more than 2% on Friday, the worst of any group, dropping 14% from its high. Still, the sector is up about 28% in 2021, making it the top performer of any of the 11 main industry groups.\nWeaker performance from technology stocks also weighed on the market Friday. Shares of Apple closed 1.4% lower afternotching a record closejust two days prior. Netflix shares fell ahead of the streaming giant’s second-quarter earnings report next week.\nInvestors digested strong earnings results from the first major week of second-quarter reports. Though some of the nation’s largest companies posted healthy earnings and revenues amid the economic recovery, the reaction in the stock market has so far been muted.\nThe Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ended the week 1.5% lower despite big profit growth numbers posted by the likes of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.\n“Good earnings might have become an excuse for some investors to take profit. And with earnings expectations so high in general, it takes a really big beat for a company to impress,” JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade chief market strategist, said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":447,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128055462,"gmtCreate":1624496187456,"gmtModify":1703838308503,"author":{"id":"3586315254285458","authorId":"3586315254285458","name":"EricTan4527","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d44236c4ebf7d2188154b3ab2c05456a","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586315254285458","authorIdStr":"3586315254285458"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Shoot high and fly","listText":"Shoot high and fly","text":"Shoot high and fly","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/128055462","repostId":"2145156570","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2145156570","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1624489510,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2145156570?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 07:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla lifts Nasdaq to record-high close, S&P 500 dips","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2145156570","media":"Reuters","summary":"June 23  - The Nasdaq climbed to a record-high close on Wednesday, fueled by a rally in Tesla Inc , while the S&P 500 dipped, even as investors cheered data that showed a record peak for U.S. factory activity in June.Gains in Nvidia Corp and $Facebook$ Inc extended a recent rebound in top-shelf growth stocks that fell out of favor in recent months as investors focused on companies expected to do well as the economy recovers from the pandemic.Data firm IHS $Markit$ said its flash U.S. manufacturi","content":"<p>June 23 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq climbed to a record-high close on Wednesday, fueled by a rally in Tesla Inc , while the S&amp;P 500 dipped, even as investors cheered data that showed a record peak for U.S. factory activity in June.</p>\n<p>Gains in Nvidia Corp and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc extended a recent rebound in top-shelf growth stocks that fell out of favor in recent months as investors focused on companies expected to do well as the economy recovers from the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Data firm IHS <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRKT\">Markit</a> said its flash U.S. manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to a reading of 62.6 this month, beating estimates of 61.5, but manufacturers are still struggling to secure raw materials and qualified workers, substantially raising prices.</p>\n<p>The \"high level of today's surveys will provide some confirmation for the Fed that the time to begin taking its foot off the accelerator is not far away,\" said Jai Malhi, global market strategist at J.P.

For as much as I know about balance sheets and technical analysis, it is the CEO that I am most critical and analytical about.</p>\n<p>This is reflected in the types of companies I invest in and write about. Opendoor (OPEN), SoFi (SOFI), Zillow (Z) and Palantir (PLTR) are each led by visionary CEO’s, with colorful histories who make massive contributions to their industries. In my opinion, the story behind these disruptive companies and the CEOs who lead them can inform investment decisions as surely as an earnings report.</p>\n<p>Writing this article began no differently. Jack Dorsey, the $15 Billion dollar man who leads both Square (SQ) and Twitter (TWTR), is one of Wall Street’s biggest eccentricities. He has a penchant for meditating, facial hair, intermittent fasting, 80+ minute morning walks and wields an invisible armor that has allowed him to endure a decade of investors ranting he over-focuses on Square to the detriment of Twitter (sorry Twitter longs).</p>\n<p>Today, we will dive into Square – its competitive advantages over neo-banking peers and incumbents alike, Square's banking opportunity, as well as an update on Square’s cryptocurrency initiatives. Square is the best positioned company in the digital wallet space, and Jack's advertising expertise gained by founding and running Twitter has allowed Square to deploy viral marketing campaigns to fuel absurd growth in Cash App. Cash App's success is rivaled only by Square's Seller ecosystem, and these two businesses are just beginning to combine, interact and compound.</p>\n<p>We're going to talk about all of this here. But first, I want to share a story about how a young Square, in its first years as a company, suffered a direct Amazon (AMZN) salvo and somehow emerged stronger.</p>\n<p><b>How Square Survived An Amazon Siege</b></p>\n<p>Bookstores, brick and mortal retail, supermarkets, meal-kits, enterprise cloud, the list of industries Amazon has bled out and internalized stretches on.</p>\n<p>Amazon has earned the moniker, “The Death Star.”Bought and paid for it. Over the past two decades no other company has so pervasively and efficiently disrupted legacy industries.</p>\n<p>As a brief anecdote, in his early days at Amazon, CEO and founder Jeff Bezos was always searching for ways to eliminate company overhead. In his mind, the less Amazon spent on operations, the more savings could be passed on to Amazon customers.</p>\n<p>In this vein, instead of purchasing a fancy desk for his office, Bezos built his own out of a recycled door and some two by fours. This practice caught on, and Amazon's employees participated broadly by building their own desks out of wooden doors.</p>\n<p>The wooden door initiative served two purposes: 1) it was a cultural commitment to humility, from the top down, and 2) it emphasized the importance of spending money only on initiatives that improve the customer experience.</p>\n<p>There's a picture of Bezos working away on his door deskhere. I’m tempted to frame this photograph, and I probably would if my fiancé would let me. Just confirmed, she says no. But I love this combined concept of customer obsession and frugality.</p>\n<p>From a capital allocation, leadership, and customer-centric perspective, it’s easy to look back now and recognize how Amazon became the goliath it is today. Bezos may not look it, but he is a ruthless, patient CEO whose basilisk gaze you pray doesn’t fall on your industry.</p>\n<p>So when Amazon turned its cannons on a private, relatively small payment processing company named Square in 2014, you didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know who would be left standing after the dust settled.</p>\n<p>But if you assumed it would be Amazon, you would have been wrong.</p>\n<p>“Amazon Register” was built to kill Square. It undercut Square’s pricing by 30% and offered live customer service (which Square did not have). Even by Square co-founderJim McKelvey’s own admission, Amazon’s product worked better than Square’s ‘dongle’ did (I hate that word as much as you do and I promise to not use it again).</p>\n<p>But Square survived. Thrived in fact. Square continued to execute along the same playbook, launched new features like Square Capital to the innovation stack, and grew roughly 10% week over week that year. Amazon, for all its strength, could not compete with Square in offerings, and small businesses were understandably skeptical about partnering with Amazon.</p>\n<p>After the year-long siege, on October 30, 2015, Amazon gracefully bowed out, announcing they were shuttering Amazon Register. When the hardware was officially discontinued in early 2016, Amazon mailed a white Square card reader to each of its business customers.</p>\n<p>And the rest is history.</p>\n<p>Since Square’s IPO in 2015, the company has continued to fend off fearsome competitors such as Intuit (INTU), PayPal (PYPL), and Shopify (SHOP), not to mention the largest banking systems in the world. Square has ridden a wave of timely and engaging financial innovations to a market cap of $107 Billion at the time of this writing. Cash App’s growth has been an absolute rocket ship, and Dorsey is delivering on the long term vision of connecting Seller and Cash App to one, unified ecosystem.</p>\n<p><b>Square’s Moat: Customer Acquisition Cost</b></p>\n<p>In the banking space, the company that optimizes lifetime value [LTV] vs customer acquisition cost [CAC] is the company that wins.</p>\n<p>Read that again, write it down, bold it and underline it.</p>\n<p>This is not supernatural. Behind the B-school terminology is a basic principle of unit economics: make more from a customer than it costs to acquire them, and do it better than competitors.</p>\n<p>Of all the participants in the banking ecosystem, I believe Square has the lowest customer acquisition costs. This is a major part of the Dorsey value proposition, and misunderstood.</p>\n<p>As founder and CEO of both Square and Twitter, Dorsey has been able to leverage his incredibly nuanced understanding of viral communication to inform viral marketing. Starting in 2017, Twitter mediated campaigns like #CashAppFriday, in which Square offers thousands of dollars to Twitter users who post their Cash App handle, has drawn massive numbers of comments, retweets and Cash App downloads. Partnerships with engaging content developers like the Joe Rogan Experience, Lex Fridmen, Burger King, Travis Scott and Lil B have continued to drive brand awareness. This brand awareness is critical, especially in a crowded digital banking space.According to this study, 82% of app or internet searchers choose a familiar brand for the first click.</p>\n<p>As an example of viral and opportunistic marketing, in 2018 a prominent content creator on TikTok, “Shiggy” released a SoundCloud song about Cash App. After striking a sponsorship deal with Shiggy in 2019, the Cash App marketing team edited a shorter version of the single, and reached out to TikTok influencers with the below message:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Create a TikTok with your best interpretation of the catchy song in everyday situations. And use hashtag #CashAppThatMoney.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Source:Business Insider</p>\n<p>To date, the Shiggy Cash App song has beenused in 9,138 videos. Prominent TikTok influencers such as Addison Rae (81+ million followers) have leveraged their massive platforms to drive hundreds of millions of views.</p>\n<p>Look at the below tweet I found from Cash App on May 7thof this year. By leveraging Cash App’s 1.2 million Twitter followers, $5k in marketing spend and goodwill resulted in 17.4k comments and 26.7k retweets. Those retweets create a reverberation in the Twitter ecosystem and result in a geometric increase in captive eyeballs. Now I am not a TikTok'er and I started a Twitter account within the past month, but it's important to appreciate Square's masterful use of these millennial and Gen Z driven platforms. Assuming roughly one in 50 retweeting individuals downloads CashApp, Square’s CAC is &lt; $10 dollars.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dee784888614bff23c414cecae7e5f7e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"171\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source:CashApp Twitter</p>\n<p>The takehome point from this type of marketing? Cash App is able to climb a more vertical slope of user acquisition at lower cost than challenger and incumbent banks alike.</p>\n<p>ARK Invest estimatesincumbent banks spend an average of $925 dollars on customer acquisition. On Square’s most recent earning’s call, management confirmed their CAC was less than $5 dollars. Said another way, Square’s marketing and customer acquisition is 18,500% higher than your retail bank.</p>\n<p>So how has Square flown under the radar of the massive U.S. banking industry?</p>\n<p>Square’s strategy to largely target unbanked or “under-banked” individuals allowed them to build a platform without drawing the attention of Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of America (BAC), and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). But Square is now one of the top ten largest ‘banks’ in the United States by market cap, and is expanding its total addressable market to those who are already clients of traditional banks.</p>\n<p>This strategy of finding an underserved population, providing value to those customers, then broadening offerings and selling upmarket is in Square’s DNA. They followed the same playbook on the Seller side, initially targeting small businesses doing less than $100k in GMV, but today Square's fastest growing segment is mid- to large-size businesses.</p>\n<p>Square’s peer Venmo cannot flex the same marketing efficiencies as Cash App. Cash App continues to hold the crown as the most downloaded finance application on Apple’s App Store (AAPL) as well as Google Play Store (GOOG), more popular than Venmo, PayPal Cash, and Robinhood (RBNHD). Furthermore, Square has a full 10X more followers than Venmo on Twitter. These advantages manifest as Square enjoying a healthy gap over Venmo in search as well.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f0ee1067df9e647949f72f4d772af186\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"172\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source:Similarweb</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df7398ef5a030917f6de3ac8d13fe5a9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"394\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source: I made this with help fromGoogle Trends</p>\n<p>Perhaps most importantly, although Venmo has more monthly active users (MAU’s), Square is better at<i>monetizing</i>these users.According to RBC Capital analyst DanielPerlin, Venmo garners roughly $12 from each MAU, whereas Cash App brings in $54. And due to industry low CAC, Cash App gets the extra benefit of being more profitable as well.</p>\n<p>While there is much more that can be said about Square and PayPal’s competition in the challenger banking space, it is this customer acquisition and long term value that underlies why I prefer holding shares of Square over PayPal.</p>\n<p>Square is just doing the important things better than Venmo. Part of this is Dorsey's social media advantages, but I believe much if it has to do with the fact that Venmo was acquired by PayPal, whereas Square remains independent. The innovative connective tissue which once held Venmo together and fostered bold ideas and big bets was absorbed into the massive PayPal machine, and lost.</p>\n<p>As a SoFi shareholder and bull, I was disappointed to learn in my research that SoFi has been unable thus far to creatively turn its Twitter presence into a customer acquisition engine. Despite 120k+ followers, the SoFi Twitter page has relatively low engagement and no promotional activities reminiscent of #CashAppFriday. SoFi CEO Anthony Noto coincidentally was formerly COO of Twitter when #CashAppFriday first launched, and I believe he will be able to leverage this experience into a more engaging social media presence. Fortunately for SoFi, their CAC's are low (~$40) with much higher LTV's than Cash App as of now (roughly double, close to $2,000 with cross selling into lending).</p>\n<p><b>Square Financial Services: A Bank For All Mankind</b></p>\n<p>On March 1, 2021, Square announced its banking service had begun operations after completing the charter approval process with the FDIC. This is a massive catalyst for Square’s business, and positions them squarely against the glacially slow incumbent banks.</p>\n<p>I recently wrote adeep dive on SoFi(SOFI), which is also pursuing a bank charter, and discussed the massive benefits these fintech companies inherit by building banking infrastructure. With this banking platform, Square will be able to make loans using deposits on its platform, originate loans to small businesses, and improve profitability.</p>\n<p>About a month ago, an iOS developer namedSteve Moser discovered codeon a Square software update revealing new products “Square Checking” and “Square Savings.” Based on the code, Square is planning to offer 0.5% interest rates for its savings accounts through 2021, a full 8+ times higher than thenational savings account average.</p>\n<p>Square's banking play is a continuation of the playbook that led them to purchase Credit Karma’s tax preparation business in 2020. At the time of the acquisition, roughly 2 million Americans used Karma to file returns, with an average refund of $2k. Those tax returns were then deposited in Cash App accounts, where fintech magic happens. Higher account deposits can be loaned out, drive increased transaction volume, and ultimately elevate the LTV of the user.</p>\n<p>SoFi is doing something similar with its $3k account minimums for SoFi IPO Invest, and Square’s banking venture has the opportunity to both elevate account balances and steal additional customers from incumbent banks.</p>\n<p>And the incumbent banks are terrified. See what Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan and perhaps the most famous banker in the world has said about Square over the years.</p>\n<blockquote>\n What does the small business want? They wanted to process cash and checks and debit on the same machine. We didn’t give them that opportunity. Square did.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Jamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, 2019</p>\n<p>And more recently when asked if JPM should be scared of challenger banks like Square:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Absolutely we should be scared s---less about that. We’ve just got to get quicker, better, faster.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Jamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, January, 2021</p>\n<p>Most importantly, adding banking services multiplies the LTV of Square's customers, and is a major step towards Cash App becoming a financial super app. The single biggest money maker for individual banking customers is checking and savings accounts. According to an ARK Invest white paper, LTV per retail banking customer is roughly $3,600, of which a full 25%, or $900 is checking and savings accounts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2bdfa91840a4611caf6808ad0c4bb076\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"367\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source: ARK Invest, with annotations from me:Cash App vs Venmo</p>\n<p>You can breathlessly hype Square's Bitcoin opportunities and wax poetic about Cash App's booming Bitcoin revenue, but the meat and potatoes is here, right in front of us: Square banking. The weapon Square will use to dethrone the incumbent banks is slowly being drawn from its sheath.</p>\n<p><b>Jack Dorsey's Bitcoin Obsession</b></p>\n<p>For those of you who don't follow Dorsey on Twitter or read updates about the Bitcoin (BTC-USD) 2021 Convention, believe me when I say Jack is<i>convicted</i>about the role Bitcoin will play in the Internet’s future.</p>\n<blockquote>\n If I were not at Square or Twitter, I would be working on bitcoin. If bitcoin needed more help than Square or Twitter, I would leave them for bitcoin.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Jack Dorsey, CEO Square, CEO Twitter,Bitcoin 2021 Conference</p>\n<p>At the conference Dorsey announced Square is considering releasing a hardware Bitcoin wallet. For those unfamiliar, when you purchase cryptocurrency on an exchange, the vast majority of the time it is not actually<i>yours</i>, but is in fact an IOU. If you’ve heard the expression, “Not your keys, not your coins,” this is referring directly to this issue. If you don’t have a hardware wallet with a password only you have access to, then the coins don’t truly belong to you.</p>\n<p>Regarding Square's involvement inBitcoin hardware wallets, color me unimpressed. I was surprised to see Square’s stock pop on that news. I can’t really see a situation where a company doing $20+ Billion a year in sales like Square gets meaningful top or bottom line contribution from a glorified flash drive. It’s just not going to move the needle.</p>\n<p>To be honest, cryptocurrency is the biggest potential blind spot I see right now in Dorsey’s execution. Don’t get me wrong, as a Square shareholder I will<i>gladly accept a</i>1,047% increase year over year in Bitcoin revenue to $3.51 B as of Q1 2021. But Dorsey refusing to allow any other coins on the Cash App platform is, in my opinion, the wrong choice for Square and cryptocurrency in general. I have already heard several friends comment they see no role for Cash App because its “crypto features” only allow for Bitcoin trading.</p>\n<p>“That’s why we don’t deal with any other ‘currencies’ or ‘coins’ because we’re so focused on making bitcoin the native currency for the internet,”</p>\n<p>-Jack Dorsey, CEO Square</p>\n<p>Effectively, Dorsey is limiting features for Square’s Cash App users to focus all attention on Bitcoin. But that’s not really how cryptocurrency works – over the past several years the market share of Bitcoin has declined slightly as new platforms have generated interest and ease of investing in alternative coins. Diversity of coin options coincided with Bitcoin reaching its highest market capitalization of all time. I believe there is space for more than one coin in the future, and am personally invested in Ethereum (ETH-USD) due to the utility it offers as the nexus of Internet 3.0.</p>\n<p>I would love to see Dorsey developing revenue-driving crypto services such as decentralized finance for Square. I said this for SoFi, and I will say it again for Square: a staking system, by which users are granted upsize interest for holding Bitcoin in their Cash App, for example, would dramatically elevate Cash App’s value proposition. This is something for all challenger banks to explore and invest in, and it is a game changer.</p>\n<p>All that said, Square has a history of surprising analysts and investors with clever solutions that delight customers. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency landscape<i>needs</i>innovation and development, and Square is well capitalized in cash and intellect to address this issue.</p>\n<p><b>Square's Near Term Risks</b></p>\n<p>Despite how positive I feel about Square's long-term positioning in the fintech space, I would be remiss if I did not alert you to several considerable near term risks. Square is hurtling towards challenging 2020 comps, with Q2 2020 being the first quarter of government disbursement checks. While I expect Square to post excellent Seller and Cash App numbers, growth will inherently moderate. Furthermore, Cash App benefited from Robinhood's well-publicized meltdown in Q1, as retail investors searched for more transparent and reliable trading platforms. This resulted in a pull-forward of user growth, and I do not believe this is sustainable or reflective of Cash App's long term user growth rates.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, Square's Q1 2021 shareholder letter was chock full of new operating expense forecasts for Q2. Square promised stock based compensation would rise materially in Q2 as new hirings occurred (in Q1 was $118 million), an increase in product development and G&amp;A by $120 million, as well as an increase in transaction and loan losses by $40 million.</p>\n<p>A potential bright spot is Square's investment in DoorDash (DASH), which was a catalyst for Square's blowout Q4 2020 earnings. Based on a price of $168.5/share at the time of this writing, DoorDash's stock has appreciated 28.5% since Q1 end. That equates to a $65 million appreciation in Square's DoorDash equity ownership.</p>\n<p>Even still, netting out equity appreciation and Square's guided opex expansion, Square is guiding for roughly $110 million in additional Q2 spend. This is significant for a company that earned only $39 million last quarter, and Q1 was already benefiting from stimulus check disbursement and peak Bitcoin price and volatility.</p>\n<p>And that brings us to Bitcoin, of which Square owns 8,027 coins.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin's price at the conclusion of Q1 (March 31, 2021) was $58,724. At the time of this writing, one Bitcoin is valued at $32,270, or a 45% drop from the prior quarter.</p>\n<p><b>This is a loss of $259 million on Bitcoin alone in Q2, 2021.</b></p>\n<p>Gulp. All in, these costs will result in an estimated $370 million drag on Square's Q2 earnings. Despite these facts, consensus estimates for Square indicate the investment community believes Square will be<i>profitable</i>this quarter, with 86% earnings revisions up over the past three months. I would be shocked if Square turned a profit this next quarter.</p>\n<p>Accordingly, if you are considering a position in Square, this might be a good indication to wait on the sidelines and see how the next earnings call plays out. As a long term Square shareholder I will continue to hold, as none of these issues impacts my long term bullish stance on Square. I believe Bitcoin will recover over the balance of 2021, and Square's investments in product development and talent acquisition are necessary for the battle ahead with legacy banks.</p>\n<p><b>Concluding Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>The holy grail of the fintech space is low customer acquisition cost. Dorsey’s mastery of viral social media advertising generating low CAC's has been a primary catalyst of Square’s titanic growth rates.

Square’s mastery of viral marketing results in the lowest CAC in the digital wallet space. This is a moat.\nSquare is building massive ecosystems in Cash App and Seller that are just beginning to overlap, which results in massive cross-selling opportunities and network effects.\nSquare banking is a major catalyst that has not received sufficient attention from analysts or investors.\nSquare has spent an entire year building as-of-yet unannounced Square Checking and Square Banking products. This is a shot across the bow at incumbent banks, and indicates Square is ready for a higher level of fintech warfare.\nSquare’s future relationship with crypto remains undercooked, and Dorsey’s overfocus on Bitcoin to the exclusion of alternative coins is an uncommon mistake.\n\nSquare's Investment Thesis\nWhen I begin researching a company for an article, I always start with the CEO. For as much as I know about balance sheets and technical analysis, it is the CEO that I am most critical and analytical about.\nThis is reflected in the types of companies I invest in and write about. Opendoor (OPEN), SoFi (SOFI), Zillow (Z) and Palantir (PLTR) are each led by visionary CEO’s, with colorful histories who make massive contributions to their industries. In my opinion, the story behind these disruptive companies and the CEOs who lead them can inform investment decisions as surely as an earnings report.\nWriting this article began no differently. Jack Dorsey, the $15 Billion dollar man who leads both Square (SQ) and Twitter (TWTR), is one of Wall Street’s biggest eccentricities. He has a penchant for meditating, facial hair, intermittent fasting, 80+ minute morning walks and wields an invisible armor that has allowed him to endure a decade of investors ranting he over-focuses on Square to the detriment of Twitter (sorry Twitter longs).\nToday, we will dive into Square – its competitive advantages over neo-banking peers and incumbents alike, Square's banking opportunity, as well as an update on Square’s cryptocurrency initiatives. Square is the best positioned company in the digital wallet space, and Jack's advertising expertise gained by founding and running Twitter has allowed Square to deploy viral marketing campaigns to fuel absurd growth in Cash App. Cash App's success is rivaled only by Square's Seller ecosystem, and these two businesses are just beginning to combine, interact and compound.\nWe're going to talk about all of this here. But first, I want to share a story about how a young Square, in its first years as a company, suffered a direct Amazon (AMZN) salvo and somehow emerged stronger.\nHow Square Survived An Amazon Siege\nBookstores, brick and mortal retail, supermarkets, meal-kits, enterprise cloud, the list of industries Amazon has bled out and internalized stretches on.\nAmazon has earned the moniker, “The Death Star.”Bought and paid for it. Over the past two decades no other company has so pervasively and efficiently disrupted legacy industries.\nAs a brief anecdote, in his early days at Amazon, CEO and founder Jeff Bezos was always searching for ways to eliminate company overhead. In his mind, the less Amazon spent on operations, the more savings could be passed on to Amazon customers.\nIn this vein, instead of purchasing a fancy desk for his office, Bezos built his own out of a recycled door and some two by fours. This practice caught on, and Amazon's employees participated broadly by building their own desks out of wooden doors.\nThe wooden door initiative served two purposes: 1) it was a cultural commitment to humility, from the top down, and 2) it emphasized the importance of spending money only on initiatives that improve the customer experience.\nThere's a picture of Bezos working away on his door deskhere. I’m tempted to frame this photograph, and I probably would if my fiancé would let me. Just confirmed, she says no. But I love this combined concept of customer obsession and frugality.\nFrom a capital allocation, leadership, and customer-centric perspective, it’s easy to look back now and recognize how Amazon became the goliath it is today. Bezos may not look it, but he is a ruthless, patient CEO whose basilisk gaze you pray doesn’t fall on your industry.\nSo when Amazon turned its cannons on a private, relatively small payment processing company named Square in 2014, you didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know who would be left standing after the dust settled.\nBut if you assumed it would be Amazon, you would have been wrong.\n“Amazon Register” was built to kill Square. It undercut Square’s pricing by 30% and offered live customer service (which Square did not have). Even by Square co-founderJim McKelvey’s own admission, Amazon’s product worked better than Square’s ‘dongle’ did (I hate that word as much as you do and I promise to not use it again).\nBut Square survived. Thrived in fact. Square continued to execute along the same playbook, launched new features like Square Capital to the innovation stack, and grew roughly 10% week over week that year. Amazon, for all its strength, could not compete with Square in offerings, and small businesses were understandably skeptical about partnering with Amazon.\nAfter the year-long siege, on October 30, 2015, Amazon gracefully bowed out, announcing they were shuttering Amazon Register. When the hardware was officially discontinued in early 2016, Amazon mailed a white Square card reader to each of its business customers.\nAnd the rest is history.\nSince Square’s IPO in 2015, the company has continued to fend off fearsome competitors such as Intuit (INTU), PayPal (PYPL), and Shopify (SHOP), not to mention the largest banking systems in the world. Square has ridden a wave of timely and engaging financial innovations to a market cap of $107 Billion at the time of this writing. Cash App’s growth has been an absolute rocket ship, and Dorsey is delivering on the long term vision of connecting Seller and Cash App to one, unified ecosystem.\nSquare’s Moat: Customer Acquisition Cost\nIn the banking space, the company that optimizes lifetime value [LTV] vs customer acquisition cost [CAC] is the company that wins.\nRead that again, write it down, bold it and underline it.\nThis is not supernatural. Behind the B-school terminology is a basic principle of unit economics: make more from a customer than it costs to acquire them, and do it better than competitors.\nOf all the participants in the banking ecosystem, I believe Square has the lowest customer acquisition costs. This is a major part of the Dorsey value proposition, and misunderstood.\nAs founder and CEO of both Square and Twitter, Dorsey has been able to leverage his incredibly nuanced understanding of viral communication to inform viral marketing. Starting in 2017, Twitter mediated campaigns like #CashAppFriday, in which Square offers thousands of dollars to Twitter users who post their Cash App handle, has drawn massive numbers of comments, retweets and Cash App downloads. Partnerships with engaging content developers like the Joe Rogan Experience, Lex Fridmen, Burger King, Travis Scott and Lil B have continued to drive brand awareness. This brand awareness is critical, especially in a crowded digital banking space.According to this study, 82% of app or internet searchers choose a familiar brand for the first click.\nAs an example of viral and opportunistic marketing, in 2018 a prominent content creator on TikTok, “Shiggy” released a SoundCloud song about Cash App. After striking a sponsorship deal with Shiggy in 2019, the Cash App marketing team edited a shorter version of the single, and reached out to TikTok influencers with the below message:\n\n Create a TikTok with your best interpretation of the catchy song in everyday situations. And use hashtag #CashAppThatMoney.\n\nSource:Business Insider\nTo date, the Shiggy Cash App song has beenused in 9,138 videos. Prominent TikTok influencers such as Addison Rae (81+ million followers) have leveraged their massive platforms to drive hundreds of millions of views.\nLook at the below tweet I found from Cash App on May 7thof this year. By leveraging Cash App’s 1.2 million Twitter followers, $5k in marketing spend and goodwill resulted in 17.4k comments and 26.7k retweets. Those retweets create a reverberation in the Twitter ecosystem and result in a geometric increase in captive eyeballs. Now I am not a TikTok'er and I started a Twitter account within the past month, but it's important to appreciate Square's masterful use of these millennial and Gen Z driven platforms. Assuming roughly one in 50 retweeting individuals downloads CashApp, Square’s CAC is < $10 dollars.\n\nSource:CashApp Twitter\nThe takehome point from this type of marketing? Cash App is able to climb a more vertical slope of user acquisition at lower cost than challenger and incumbent banks alike.\nARK Invest estimatesincumbent banks spend an average of $925 dollars on customer acquisition. On Square’s most recent earning’s call, management confirmed their CAC was less than $5 dollars. Said another way, Square’s marketing and customer acquisition is 18,500% higher than your retail bank.\nSo how has Square flown under the radar of the massive U.S. banking industry?\nSquare’s strategy to largely target unbanked or “under-banked” individuals allowed them to build a platform without drawing the attention of Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of America (BAC), and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). But Square is now one of the top ten largest ‘banks’ in the United States by market cap, and is expanding its total addressable market to those who are already clients of traditional banks.\nThis strategy of finding an underserved population, providing value to those customers, then broadening offerings and selling upmarket is in Square’s DNA. They followed the same playbook on the Seller side, initially targeting small businesses doing less than $100k in GMV, but today Square's fastest growing segment is mid- to large-size businesses.\nSquare’s peer Venmo cannot flex the same marketing efficiencies as Cash App. Cash App continues to hold the crown as the most downloaded finance application on Apple’s App Store (AAPL) as well as Google Play Store (GOOG), more popular than Venmo, PayPal Cash, and Robinhood (RBNHD). Furthermore, Square has a full 10X more followers than Venmo on Twitter. These advantages manifest as Square enjoying a healthy gap over Venmo in search as well.\n\nSource:Similarweb\n\nSource: I made this with help fromGoogle Trends\nPerhaps most importantly, although Venmo has more monthly active users (MAU’s), Square is better atmonetizingthese users.According to RBC Capital analyst DanielPerlin, Venmo garners roughly $12 from each MAU, whereas Cash App brings in $54. And due to industry low CAC, Cash App gets the extra benefit of being more profitable as well.\nWhile there is much more that can be said about Square and PayPal’s competition in the challenger banking space, it is this customer acquisition and long term value that underlies why I prefer holding shares of Square over PayPal.\nSquare is just doing the important things better than Venmo. Part of this is Dorsey's social media advantages, but I believe much if it has to do with the fact that Venmo was acquired by PayPal, whereas Square remains independent. The innovative connective tissue which once held Venmo together and fostered bold ideas and big bets was absorbed into the massive PayPal machine, and lost.\nAs a SoFi shareholder and bull, I was disappointed to learn in my research that SoFi has been unable thus far to creatively turn its Twitter presence into a customer acquisition engine. Despite 120k+ followers, the SoFi Twitter page has relatively low engagement and no promotional activities reminiscent of #CashAppFriday. SoFi CEO Anthony Noto coincidentally was formerly COO of Twitter when #CashAppFriday first launched, and I believe he will be able to leverage this experience into a more engaging social media presence. Fortunately for SoFi, their CAC's are low (~$40) with much higher LTV's than Cash App as of now (roughly double, close to $2,000 with cross selling into lending).\nSquare Financial Services: A Bank For All Mankind\nOn March 1, 2021, Square announced its banking service had begun operations after completing the charter approval process with the FDIC. This is a massive catalyst for Square’s business, and positions them squarely against the glacially slow incumbent banks.\nI recently wrote adeep dive on SoFi(SOFI), which is also pursuing a bank charter, and discussed the massive benefits these fintech companies inherit by building banking infrastructure. With this banking platform, Square will be able to make loans using deposits on its platform, originate loans to small businesses, and improve profitability.\nAbout a month ago, an iOS developer namedSteve Moser discovered codeon a Square software update revealing new products “Square Checking” and “Square Savings.” Based on the code, Square is planning to offer 0.5% interest rates for its savings accounts through 2021, a full 8+ times higher than thenational savings account average.\nSquare's banking play is a continuation of the playbook that led them to purchase Credit Karma’s tax preparation business in 2020. At the time of the acquisition, roughly 2 million Americans used Karma to file returns, with an average refund of $2k. Those tax returns were then deposited in Cash App accounts, where fintech magic happens. Higher account deposits can be loaned out, drive increased transaction volume, and ultimately elevate the LTV of the user.\nSoFi is doing something similar with its $3k account minimums for SoFi IPO Invest, and Square’s banking venture has the opportunity to both elevate account balances and steal additional customers from incumbent banks.\nAnd the incumbent banks are terrified. See what Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan and perhaps the most famous banker in the world has said about Square over the years.\n\n What does the small business want? They wanted to process cash and checks and debit on the same machine. We didn’t give them that opportunity. Square did.\n\nJamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, 2019\nAnd more recently when asked if JPM should be scared of challenger banks like Square:\n\n Absolutely we should be scared s---less about that. We’ve just got to get quicker, better, faster.\n\nJamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, January, 2021\nMost importantly, adding banking services multiplies the LTV of Square's customers, and is a major step towards Cash App becoming a financial super app. The single biggest money maker for individual banking customers is checking and savings accounts. According to an ARK Invest white paper, LTV per retail banking customer is roughly $3,600, of which a full 25%, or $900 is checking and savings accounts.\n\nSource: ARK Invest, with annotations from me:Cash App vs Venmo\nYou can breathlessly hype Square's Bitcoin opportunities and wax poetic about Cash App's booming Bitcoin revenue, but the meat and potatoes is here, right in front of us: Square banking. The weapon Square will use to dethrone the incumbent banks is slowly being drawn from its sheath.\nJack Dorsey's Bitcoin Obsession\nFor those of you who don't follow Dorsey on Twitter or read updates about the Bitcoin (BTC-USD) 2021 Convention, believe me when I say Jack isconvictedabout the role Bitcoin will play in the Internet’s future.\n\n If I were not at Square or Twitter, I would be working on bitcoin. If bitcoin needed more help than Square or Twitter, I would leave them for bitcoin.\n\nJack Dorsey, CEO Square, CEO Twitter,Bitcoin 2021 Conference\nAt the conference Dorsey announced Square is considering releasing a hardware Bitcoin wallet. For those unfamiliar, when you purchase cryptocurrency on an exchange, the vast majority of the time it is not actuallyyours, but is in fact an IOU. If you’ve heard the expression, “Not your keys, not your coins,” this is referring directly to this issue. If you don’t have a hardware wallet with a password only you have access to, then the coins don’t truly belong to you.\nRegarding Square's involvement inBitcoin hardware wallets, color me unimpressed. I was surprised to see Square’s stock pop on that news. I can’t really see a situation where a company doing $20+ Billion a year in sales like Square gets meaningful top or bottom line contribution from a glorified flash drive. It’s just not going to move the needle.\nTo be honest, cryptocurrency is the biggest potential blind spot I see right now in Dorsey’s execution. Don’t get me wrong, as a Square shareholder I willgladly accept a1,047% increase year over year in Bitcoin revenue to $3.51 B as of Q1 2021. But Dorsey refusing to allow any other coins on the Cash App platform is, in my opinion, the wrong choice for Square and cryptocurrency in general. I have already heard several friends comment they see no role for Cash App because its “crypto features” only allow for Bitcoin trading.\n“That’s why we don’t deal with any other ‘currencies’ or ‘coins’ because we’re so focused on making bitcoin the native currency for the internet,”\n-Jack Dorsey, CEO Square\nEffectively, Dorsey is limiting features for Square’s Cash App users to focus all attention on Bitcoin. But that’s not really how cryptocurrency works – over the past several years the market share of Bitcoin has declined slightly as new platforms have generated interest and ease of investing in alternative coins. Diversity of coin options coincided with Bitcoin reaching its highest market capitalization of all time. I believe there is space for more than one coin in the future, and am personally invested in Ethereum (ETH-USD) due to the utility it offers as the nexus of Internet 3.0.\nI would love to see Dorsey developing revenue-driving crypto services such as decentralized finance for Square. I said this for SoFi, and I will say it again for Square: a staking system, by which users are granted upsize interest for holding Bitcoin in their Cash App, for example, would dramatically elevate Cash App’s value proposition. This is something for all challenger banks to explore and invest in, and it is a game changer.\nAll that said, Square has a history of surprising analysts and investors with clever solutions that delight customers. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency landscapeneedsinnovation and development, and Square is well capitalized in cash and intellect to address this issue.\nSquare's Near Term Risks\nDespite how positive I feel about Square's long-term positioning in the fintech space, I would be remiss if I did not alert you to several considerable near term risks. Square is hurtling towards challenging 2020 comps, with Q2 2020 being the first quarter of government disbursement checks. While I expect Square to post excellent Seller and Cash App numbers, growth will inherently moderate. Furthermore, Cash App benefited from Robinhood's well-publicized meltdown in Q1, as retail investors searched for more transparent and reliable trading platforms. This resulted in a pull-forward of user growth, and I do not believe this is sustainable or reflective of Cash App's long term user growth rates.\nFurthermore, Square's Q1 2021 shareholder letter was chock full of new operating expense forecasts for Q2. Square promised stock based compensation would rise materially in Q2 as new hirings occurred (in Q1 was $118 million), an increase in product development and G&A by $120 million, as well as an increase in transaction and loan losses by $40 million.\nA potential bright spot is Square's investment in DoorDash (DASH), which was a catalyst for Square's blowout Q4 2020 earnings. Based on a price of $168.5/share at the time of this writing, DoorDash's stock has appreciated 28.5% since Q1 end. That equates to a $65 million appreciation in Square's DoorDash equity ownership.\nEven still, netting out equity appreciation and Square's guided opex expansion, Square is guiding for roughly $110 million in additional Q2 spend. This is significant for a company that earned only $39 million last quarter, and Q1 was already benefiting from stimulus check disbursement and peak Bitcoin price and volatility.\nAnd that brings us to Bitcoin, of which Square owns 8,027 coins.\nBitcoin's price at the conclusion of Q1 (March 31, 2021) was $58,724. At the time of this writing, one Bitcoin is valued at $32,270, or a 45% drop from the prior quarter.\nThis is a loss of $259 million on Bitcoin alone in Q2, 2021.\nGulp. All in, these costs will result in an estimated $370 million drag on Square's Q2 earnings. Despite these facts, consensus estimates for Square indicate the investment community believes Square will beprofitablethis quarter, with 86% earnings revisions up over the past three months. I would be shocked if Square turned a profit this next quarter.\nAccordingly, if you are considering a position in Square, this might be a good indication to wait on the sidelines and see how the next earnings call plays out. As a long term Square shareholder I will continue to hold, as none of these issues impacts my long term bullish stance on Square. I believe Bitcoin will recover over the balance of 2021, and Square's investments in product development and talent acquisition are necessary for the battle ahead with legacy banks.\nConcluding Thoughts\nThe holy grail of the fintech space is low customer acquisition cost. Dorsey’s mastery of viral social media advertising generating low CAC's has been a primary catalyst of Square’s titanic growth rates. Square is just beginning to combine and integrate Cash App and Seller, which will manifest as increased user LTV and strengthening network effects.\nBetween Square cross-selling Cash App and Seller, solidifying a banking presence with Square banking and the development and implementation of much-needed crypto services, Square will be the apex presence in the fintech space, with no natural predators. I believe this not only possible, but likely. As the future fintech king, Square has a vast ocean of opportunity ahead, because in the multi-trillion financial services space, winner takes most.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":534,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129010238,"gmtCreate":1624342978324,"gmtModify":1703834003414,"author":{"id":"3586315254285458","authorId":"3586315254285458","name":"EricTan4527","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d44236c4ebf7d2188154b3ab2c05456a","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586315254285458","authorIdStr":"3586315254285458"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Well done","listText":"Well done","text":"Well done","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/129010238","repostId":"2145030439","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2145030439","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624335780,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2145030439?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-22 12:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"London-based hedge fund that bet against GameStop shuts down - FT","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2145030439","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"(Reuters) - A London-based hedge fund that suffered losses betting against U.S. retailer GameStop Co","content":"<p>(Reuters) - A London-based hedge fund that suffered losses betting against U.S. retailer GameStop Corp during the first meme stock rally in January is shutting down, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.</p>\n<p>White Square Capital has told investors that it will shut its main fund and return capital this month after a review of its business model, the newspaper said, citing people familiar with the fund and a letter to investors.</p>\n<p>White Square suffered double-digit percent losses in January, the report added https://on.ft.com/3gIEJJR.</p>\n<p>The firm did not respond to a Reuters request for comment outside of regular U.K. business hours.</p>","source":"highlight_streetinsider","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Look at what happene","content":"<p>Want to know how sensitive investors are to tiny differences in interest rates? Look at what happened after the Federal Reserve decided June 16 to raise&nbsp;the rate it pays on its overnight reverse repurchase facility to 0.05% from 0.00%.&nbsp;You’d need&nbsp;1,387 years to double your money at that puny rate. Still, it was enough to draw in $756 billion in funds on June 17, a 45% increase from when the Fed was paying a flat zero.</p>\n<p>That’s “just another affirmation of the glut of cash seeking any positive return,”&nbsp;Jonathan Cohn, a strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG, told Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>The massive flows of short-term money are mostly invisible to the general public, but they’re vital to big players such as money market mutual funds and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two giant companies&nbsp;in government conservatorship whose purchases of mortgage loans affect rates for homebuyers. Fannie, Freddie, and the money funds are believed to be among the big players that poured their spare cash into the Fed’s&nbsp;reverse repurchase facility—a kind of overnight parking lot for money—on June 17.</p>\n<p>There are differences of opinion over whether the Fed’s rate increase was necessary or wise. Zoltan Pozsar, the global head of short-term interest rate strategy for Credit Suisse, says the hike—as small as it might seem to a layperson—was too big. “I was arguing that there is no need to adjust anything,” Pozsar says. For the big players that are taking advantage of the Fed’s facility, he says, “It’s like Christmastime in the middle of summer.”</p>\n<p>Pozsar argues that the previous rate of zero was high enough because it ensured that the federal funds rate would not fall below the Fed’s target range of&nbsp;zero to 0.25%:&nbsp;Presumably&nbsp;no bank&nbsp;would lend federal funds at less than zero if it&nbsp;could earn zero&nbsp;by stashing money at the Fed’s reverse repurchase facility.

Look at what happened after the Federal Reserve decided June 16 to raise the rate it pays on its overnight reverse repurchase facility to 0.05% from 0.00%. You’d need 1,387 years to double your money at that puny rate. Still, it was enough to draw in $756 billion in funds on June 17, a 45% increase from when the Fed was paying a flat zero.\nThat’s “just another affirmation of the glut of cash seeking any positive return,” Jonathan Cohn, a strategist at Credit Suisse Group AG, told Bloomberg.\nThe massive flows of short-term money are mostly invisible to the general public, but they’re vital to big players such as money market mutual funds and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two giant companies in government conservatorship whose purchases of mortgage loans affect rates for homebuyers. Fannie, Freddie, and the money funds are believed to be among the big players that poured their spare cash into the Fed’s reverse repurchase facility—a kind of overnight parking lot for money—on June 17.\nThere are differences of opinion over whether the Fed’s rate increase was necessary or wise. Zoltan Pozsar, the global head of short-term interest rate strategy for Credit Suisse, says the hike—as small as it might seem to a layperson—was too big. “I was arguing that there is no need to adjust anything,” Pozsar says. For the big players that are taking advantage of the Fed’s facility, he says, “It’s like Christmastime in the middle of summer.”\nPozsar argues that the previous rate of zero was high enough because it ensured that the federal funds rate would not fall below the Fed’s target range of zero to 0.25%: Presumably no bank would lend federal funds at less than zero if it could earn zero by stashing money at the Fed’s reverse repurchase facility. Raising the overnight reverse repurchase rate to 0.05%, Pozsar says, makes it too much of a lure for money. “They basically turned an innocent facility that was serving as a floor to something more menacing that’s sucking money out of the system,” he says.\nNot everyone sees things that way. The rate hike certainly made life easier for money funds, which strive not to “break the buck”—that is, give investors back less money than they put in.

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.

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.

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.

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%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06198c569504bc303c34563041dfb294\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Worldwide 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.

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.

Data source: CAICT; Sina.com.cn</span></p>\n<p>BABA 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%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06198c569504bc303c34563041dfb294\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>Worldwide public cloud spending.

Source:CnTechPost; Gartner</span></p>\n<p>Therefore, 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. 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.

However, as we wanted to obtain greater clarity over how its counterparts are also valued, we thought it would be useful if we value BABA’s EBIT over a set of benchmark companies that is presented below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d27873e676dfb23c98d4a69aa5861e02\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"1117\"><span>Peers EV / EBIT Valuations. Data source: S&amp;P Capital IQ</span></p>\n<p>By using a blend of historical and forward EBIT, we could see that BABA’s EV / EBIT really looks undervalued when compared to the median value of the set of observed values from the benchmark companies. We derived a fair value range for BABA of $294.98 at the midpoint of the range, that represented a potential upside of 40.5% based on the current stock price of $210.</p>\n<p><b>Risks to Assumptions</b></p>\n<p>Now, it’s obviously baffling to watch how Mr. Market has decided to discount BABA to such an extent as if the company has lost all its key sources of growth, when in fact there is still so much potential upside coming from its commerce segment, the new marketplace initiatives and its growing Ali Cloud segment, among others. The main realistic reason that we identified for the stock's underperformance would simply be regulatory risk. We think investors should acknowledge that this risk is very real and at times huge Chinese companies have found themselves to be subjected to extra scrutiny (which is nothing new in fact) by the Chinese government. What’s critical here is that the Chinese government seemingly has significant clout over the behavior and actions of their tech behemoths that at times may be largely unpredictable. The market certainly hates unpredictability and therefore they may have significantly discounted BABA as a result of that. If investors are not able to handle uncertainty with regard to potentially unpredictable regulatory actions and their aftermath, then BABA may not be appropriate for you. However, if you believe that this is just a blip in BABA’s long journey, then you would surely find BABA's valuations extremely attractive right now, coupled with a long term mindset.</p>\n<p><b>Wrapping It All Up</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba has continued to deliver solid results that demonstrated the strong capability of the company to execute well.

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. 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.\nBABA's Valuations Look Highly Compelling\nNTM TEV / EBIT 3Y range.\nEV / Fwd EBIT and EV / Fwd Rev trend. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nWhen we consider BABA's TEV / EBIT historical range, where the 3Y mean read 33.54x, BABA’s EV / Fwd EBIT trend certainly imply a hugely undervalued stock as BABA is still expected to grow its revenue and operating profits rapidly. However, as we wanted to obtain greater clarity over how its counterparts are also valued, we thought it would be useful if we value BABA’s EBIT over a set of benchmark companies that is presented below.\nPeers EV / EBIT Valuations. Data source: S&P Capital IQ\nBy using a blend of historical and forward EBIT, we could see that BABA’s EV / EBIT really looks undervalued when compared to the median value of the set of observed values from the benchmark companies. We derived a fair value range for BABA of $294.98 at the midpoint of the range, that represented a potential upside of 40.5% based on the current stock price of $210.\nRisks to Assumptions\nNow, it’s obviously baffling to watch how Mr. Market has decided to discount BABA to such an extent as if the company has lost all its key sources of growth, when in fact there is still so much potential upside coming from its commerce segment, the new marketplace initiatives and its growing Ali Cloud segment, among others. The main realistic reason that we identified for the stock's underperformance would simply be regulatory risk. We think investors should acknowledge that this risk is very real and at times huge Chinese companies have found themselves to be subjected to extra scrutiny (which is nothing new in fact) by the Chinese government. What’s critical here is that the Chinese government seemingly has significant clout over the behavior and actions of their tech behemoths that at times may be largely unpredictable. The market certainly hates unpredictability and therefore they may have significantly discounted BABA as a result of that. If investors are not able to handle uncertainty with regard to potentially unpredictable regulatory actions and their aftermath, then BABA may not be appropriate for you. However, if you believe that this is just a blip in BABA’s long journey, then you would surely find BABA's valuations extremely attractive right now, coupled with a long term mindset.\nWrapping It All Up\nAlibaba has continued to deliver solid results that demonstrated the strong capability of the company to execute well. As the company continues to operate within a market with so many growth drivers that are expected to drive the company’s future growth, investors should find the current valuations highly attractive.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":168,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":337197560005048,"gmtCreate":1723362091815,"gmtModify":1723362095403,"author":{"id":"3586315254285458","authorId":"3586315254285458","name":"EricTan4527","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d44236c4ebf7d2188154b3ab2c05456a","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586315254285458","authorIdStr":"3586315254285458"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up or down?

The S&P 500 dipped 0.75% to 4,327.16 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.8% to 14,427.24.\nThe three averages closed the week lower to each snap 3-week win streaks. The Dow ended the week down 0.52%, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.97% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.87% during the same period.\n\nA U.S.consumer sentimentindex from the University of Michigan came in at 80.8 for the first half of July, down from 85.5 last month and worse than estimates from economists, who projected an increase. The report released Friday showed inflation expectations rising, with consumers believing prices will increase 4.8% in the next year, the highest level since August 2008.\nThe Dow gave up its gains early Friday shortly after the University of Michigan report came out 30 minutes into the session. Losses increased as the day went on with major averages closing at the lows of the session.\nThe consumer sentiment weakness “is at face value hard to square with the acceleration in employment growth and the continued resilience of the stock market,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, but the report “suggested that concerns over surging inflation are now outweighing those positive trends.”\nInflation fears\nThe market was held back all week by inflation fears although the S&P 500 and Dow did touch new all-time highs briefly. On Tuesday, theconsumer price indexshowed a 5.4% increase in June from a year ago, the fastest pace in nearly 13 years.\nStocks got off to a good start Friday with the Dow rising more than 100 points to above 35,000 shortly after the open.Data released before the bell showed retail and food service salesrose 0.6% in June, while economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected a 0.4% decline. If that level held, it would have been the Dow’s first close ever above 35,000.\nDespite the week’s losses, the Dow is still up 13% for the year and sits just 1.15% from an all-time high. The S&P 500 is up 15% on the year and is 1.51% below its record level.\n“The market looks broadly fairly valued to me, with most stocks priced to provide a market rate of return plus or minus a few percent,” Bill Miller, chairman and chief investment officer of Miller Value Partners,said in an investor letter.\n“There are pockets of what look like appreciable over-valuation and pockets of significant undervaluation in the US market, in my opinion. We can find plenty of names to fill our portfolios and so remain fully invested,” the value investor added.\nEnergy correction\nEnergy stocks, the hottest part of the market in 2021, fell into correction territory on Friday as oil prices pulled back from their highs.\nThe Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund fell more than 2% on Friday, the worst of any group, dropping 14% from its high. Still, the sector is up about 28% in 2021, making it the top performer of any of the 11 main industry groups.\nWeaker performance from technology stocks also weighed on the market Friday. Shares of Apple closed 1.4% lower afternotching a record closejust two days prior. Netflix shares fell ahead of the streaming giant’s second-quarter earnings report next week.\nInvestors digested strong earnings results from the first major week of second-quarter reports. Though some of the nation’s largest companies posted healthy earnings and revenues amid the economic recovery, the reaction in the stock market has so far been muted.\nThe Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ended the week 1.5% lower despite big profit growth numbers posted by the likes of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.\n“Good earnings might have become an excuse for some investors to take profit. And with earnings expectations so high in general, it takes a really big beat for a company to impress,” JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade chief market strategist, said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":447,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":129944794,"gmtCreate":1624354772518,"gmtModify":1703834225682,"author":{"id":"3586315254285458","authorId":"3586315254285458","name":"EricTan4527","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d44236c4ebf7d2188154b3ab2c05456a","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586315254285458","authorIdStr":"3586315254285458"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/129944794","repostId":"1188931868","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188931868","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624352654,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188931868?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-22 17:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Square: Winner Takes Most","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188931868","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nArguably the most important fintech metric is customer acquisition cost (CAC).

But first, I want to share a story about how a young Square, in its first years as a company, suffered a direct Amazon (AMZN) salvo and somehow emerged stronger.</p>\n<p><b>How Square Survived An Amazon Siege</b></p>\n<p>Bookstores, brick and mortal retail, supermarkets, meal-kits, enterprise cloud, the list of industries Amazon has bled out and internalized stretches on.</p>\n<p>Amazon has earned the moniker, “The Death Star.”Bought and paid for it. Over the past two decades no other company has so pervasively and efficiently disrupted legacy industries.</p>\n<p>As a brief anecdote, in his early days at Amazon, CEO and founder Jeff Bezos was always searching for ways to eliminate company overhead. In his mind, the less Amazon spent on operations, the more savings could be passed on to Amazon customers.</p>\n<p>In this vein, instead of purchasing a fancy desk for his office, Bezos built his own out of a recycled door and some two by fours. This practice caught on, and Amazon's employees participated broadly by building their own desks out of wooden doors.</p>\n<p>The wooden door initiative served two purposes: 1) it was a cultural commitment to humility, from the top down, and 2) it emphasized the importance of spending money only on initiatives that improve the customer experience.</p>\n<p>There's a picture of Bezos working away on his door deskhere. I’m tempted to frame this photograph, and I probably would if my fiancé would let me. Just confirmed, she says no. But I love this combined concept of customer obsession and frugality.</p>\n<p>From a capital allocation, leadership, and customer-centric perspective, it’s easy to look back now and recognize how Amazon became the goliath it is today. Bezos may not look it, but he is a ruthless, patient CEO whose basilisk gaze you pray doesn’t fall on your industry.</p>\n<p>So when Amazon turned its cannons on a private, relatively small payment processing company named Square in 2014, you didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know who would be left standing after the dust settled.</p>\n<p>But if you assumed it would be Amazon, you would have been wrong.</p>\n<p>“Amazon Register” was built to kill Square. It undercut Square’s pricing by 30% and offered live customer service (which Square did not have). Even by Square co-founderJim McKelvey’s own admission, Amazon’s product worked better than Square’s ‘dongle’ did (I hate that word as much as you do and I promise to not use it again).</p>\n<p>But Square survived. Thrived in fact. Square continued to execute along the same playbook, launched new features like Square Capital to the innovation stack, and grew roughly 10% week over week that year. Amazon, for all its strength, could not compete with Square in offerings, and small businesses were understandably skeptical about partnering with Amazon.</p>\n<p>After the year-long siege, on October 30, 2015, Amazon gracefully bowed out, announcing they were shuttering Amazon Register. When the hardware was officially discontinued in early 2016, Amazon mailed a white Square card reader to each of its business customers.</p>\n<p>And the rest is history.</p>\n<p>Since Square’s IPO in 2015, the company has continued to fend off fearsome competitors such as Intuit (INTU), PayPal (PYPL), and Shopify (SHOP), not to mention the largest banking systems in the world. Square has ridden a wave of timely and engaging financial innovations to a market cap of $107 Billion at the time of this writing. Cash App’s growth has been an absolute rocket ship, and Dorsey is delivering on the long term vision of connecting Seller and Cash App to one, unified ecosystem.</p>\n<p><b>Square’s Moat: Customer Acquisition Cost</b></p>\n<p>In the banking space, the company that optimizes lifetime value [LTV] vs customer acquisition cost [CAC] is the company that wins.</p>\n<p>Read that again, write it down, bold it and underline it.</p>\n<p>This is not supernatural. Behind the B-school terminology is a basic principle of unit economics: make more from a customer than it costs to acquire them, and do it better than competitors.</p>\n<p>Of all the participants in the banking ecosystem, I believe Square has the lowest customer acquisition costs. This is a major part of the Dorsey value proposition, and misunderstood.</p>\n<p>As founder and CEO of both Square and Twitter, Dorsey has been able to leverage his incredibly nuanced understanding of viral communication to inform viral marketing. Starting in 2017, Twitter mediated campaigns like #CashAppFriday, in which Square offers thousands of dollars to Twitter users who post their Cash App handle, has drawn massive numbers of comments, retweets and Cash App downloads. Partnerships with engaging content developers like the Joe Rogan Experience, Lex Fridmen, Burger King, Travis Scott and Lil B have continued to drive brand awareness. This brand awareness is critical, especially in a crowded digital banking space.According to this study, 82% of app or internet searchers choose a familiar brand for the first click.</p>\n<p>As an example of viral and opportunistic marketing, in 2018 a prominent content creator on TikTok, “Shiggy” released a SoundCloud song about Cash App. After striking a sponsorship deal with Shiggy in 2019, the Cash App marketing team edited a shorter version of the single, and reached out to TikTok influencers with the below message:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Create a TikTok with your best interpretation of the catchy song in everyday situations. And use hashtag #CashAppThatMoney.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Source:Business Insider</p>\n<p>To date, the Shiggy Cash App song has beenused in 9,138 videos. Prominent TikTok influencers such as Addison Rae (81+ million followers) have leveraged their massive platforms to drive hundreds of millions of views.</p>\n<p>Look at the below tweet I found from Cash App on May 7thof this year. By leveraging Cash App’s 1.2 million Twitter followers, $5k in marketing spend and goodwill resulted in 17.4k comments and 26.7k retweets. Those retweets create a reverberation in the Twitter ecosystem and result in a geometric increase in captive eyeballs. Now I am not a TikTok'er and I started a Twitter account within the past month, but it's important to appreciate Square's masterful use of these millennial and Gen Z driven platforms. Assuming roughly one in 50 retweeting individuals downloads CashApp, Square’s CAC is &lt; $10 dollars.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dee784888614bff23c414cecae7e5f7e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"171\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source:CashApp Twitter</p>\n<p>The takehome point from this type of marketing? Cash App is able to climb a more vertical slope of user acquisition at lower cost than challenger and incumbent banks alike.</p>\n<p>ARK Invest estimatesincumbent banks spend an average of $925 dollars on customer acquisition. On Square’s most recent earning’s call, management confirmed their CAC was less than $5 dollars. Said another way, Square’s marketing and customer acquisition is 18,500% higher than your retail bank.</p>\n<p>So how has Square flown under the radar of the massive U.S. banking industry?</p>\n<p>Square’s strategy to largely target unbanked or “under-banked” individuals allowed them to build a platform without drawing the attention of Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of America (BAC), and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). But Square is now one of the top ten largest ‘banks’ in the United States by market cap, and is expanding its total addressable market to those who are already clients of traditional banks.</p>\n<p>This strategy of finding an underserved population, providing value to those customers, then broadening offerings and selling upmarket is in Square’s DNA. They followed the same playbook on the Seller side, initially targeting small businesses doing less than $100k in GMV, but today Square's fastest growing segment is mid- to large-size businesses.</p>\n<p>Square’s peer Venmo cannot flex the same marketing efficiencies as Cash App. Cash App continues to hold the crown as the most downloaded finance application on Apple’s App Store (AAPL) as well as Google Play Store (GOOG), more popular than Venmo, PayPal Cash, and Robinhood (RBNHD). Furthermore, Square has a full 10X more followers than Venmo on Twitter. These advantages manifest as Square enjoying a healthy gap over Venmo in search as well.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f0ee1067df9e647949f72f4d772af186\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"172\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source:Similarweb</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df7398ef5a030917f6de3ac8d13fe5a9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"394\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source: I made this with help fromGoogle Trends</p>\n<p>Perhaps most importantly, although Venmo has more monthly active users (MAU’s), Square is better at<i>monetizing</i>these users.According to RBC Capital analyst DanielPerlin, Venmo garners roughly $12 from each MAU, whereas Cash App brings in $54. And due to industry low CAC, Cash App gets the extra benefit of being more profitable as well.</p>\n<p>While there is much more that can be said about Square and PayPal’s competition in the challenger banking space, it is this customer acquisition and long term value that underlies why I prefer holding shares of Square over PayPal.</p>\n<p>Square is just doing the important things better than Venmo. Part of this is Dorsey's social media advantages, but I believe much if it has to do with the fact that Venmo was acquired by PayPal, whereas Square remains independent. The innovative connective tissue which once held Venmo together and fostered bold ideas and big bets was absorbed into the massive PayPal machine, and lost.</p>\n<p>As a SoFi shareholder and bull, I was disappointed to learn in my research that SoFi has been unable thus far to creatively turn its Twitter presence into a customer acquisition engine. Despite 120k+ followers, the SoFi Twitter page has relatively low engagement and no promotional activities reminiscent of #CashAppFriday. SoFi CEO Anthony Noto coincidentally was formerly COO of Twitter when #CashAppFriday first launched, and I believe he will be able to leverage this experience into a more engaging social media presence. Fortunately for SoFi, their CAC's are low (~$40) with much higher LTV's than Cash App as of now (roughly double, close to $2,000 with cross selling into lending).</p>\n<p><b>Square Financial Services: A Bank For All Mankind</b></p>\n<p>On March 1, 2021, Square announced its banking service had begun operations after completing the charter approval process with the FDIC. This is a massive catalyst for Square’s business, and positions them squarely against the glacially slow incumbent banks.</p>\n<p>I recently wrote adeep dive on SoFi(SOFI), which is also pursuing a bank charter, and discussed the massive benefits these fintech companies inherit by building banking infrastructure. With this banking platform, Square will be able to make loans using deposits on its platform, originate loans to small businesses, and improve profitability.</p>\n<p>About a month ago, an iOS developer namedSteve Moser discovered codeon a Square software update revealing new products “Square Checking” and “Square Savings.” Based on the code, Square is planning to offer 0.5% interest rates for its savings accounts through 2021, a full 8+ times higher than thenational savings account average.</p>\n<p>Square's banking play is a continuation of the playbook that led them to purchase Credit Karma’s tax preparation business in 2020. At the time of the acquisition, roughly 2 million Americans used Karma to file returns, with an average refund of $2k. Those tax returns were then deposited in Cash App accounts, where fintech magic happens. Higher account deposits can be loaned out, drive increased transaction volume, and ultimately elevate the LTV of the user.</p>\n<p>SoFi is doing something similar with its $3k account minimums for SoFi IPO Invest, and Square’s banking venture has the opportunity to both elevate account balances and steal additional customers from incumbent banks.</p>\n<p>And the incumbent banks are terrified. See what Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan and perhaps the most famous banker in the world has said about Square over the years.</p>\n<blockquote>\n What does the small business want? They wanted to process cash and checks and debit on the same machine. We didn’t give them that opportunity. Square did.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Jamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, 2019</p>\n<p>And more recently when asked if JPM should be scared of challenger banks like Square:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Absolutely we should be scared s---less about that. We’ve just got to get quicker, better, faster.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Jamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, January, 2021</p>\n<p>Most importantly, adding banking services multiplies the LTV of Square's customers, and is a major step towards Cash App becoming a financial super app. The single biggest money maker for individual banking customers is checking and savings accounts. According to an ARK Invest white paper, LTV per retail banking customer is roughly $3,600, of which a full 25%, or $900 is checking and savings accounts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2bdfa91840a4611caf6808ad0c4bb076\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"367\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Source: ARK Invest, with annotations from me:Cash App vs Venmo</p>\n<p>You can breathlessly hype Square's Bitcoin opportunities and wax poetic about Cash App's booming Bitcoin revenue, but the meat and potatoes is here, right in front of us: Square banking. The weapon Square will use to dethrone the incumbent banks is slowly being drawn from its sheath.</p>\n<p><b>Jack Dorsey's Bitcoin Obsession</b></p>\n<p>For those of you who don't follow Dorsey on Twitter or read updates about the Bitcoin (BTC-USD) 2021 Convention, believe me when I say Jack is<i>convicted</i>about the role Bitcoin will play in the Internet’s future.</p>\n<blockquote>\n If I were not at Square or Twitter, I would be working on bitcoin. If bitcoin needed more help than Square or Twitter, I would leave them for bitcoin.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Jack Dorsey, CEO Square, CEO Twitter,Bitcoin 2021 Conference</p>\n<p>At the conference Dorsey announced Square is considering releasing a hardware Bitcoin wallet. For those unfamiliar, when you purchase cryptocurrency on an exchange, the vast majority of the time it is not actually<i>yours</i>, but is in fact an IOU. If you’ve heard the expression, “Not your keys, not your coins,” this is referring directly to this issue. If you don’t have a hardware wallet with a password only you have access to, then the coins don’t truly belong to you.</p>\n<p>Regarding Square's involvement inBitcoin hardware wallets, color me unimpressed. I was surprised to see Square’s stock pop on that news. I can’t really see a situation where a company doing $20+ Billion a year in sales like Square gets meaningful top or bottom line contribution from a glorified flash drive. It’s just not going to move the needle.</p>\n<p>To be honest, cryptocurrency is the biggest potential blind spot I see right now in Dorsey’s execution. Don’t get me wrong, as a Square shareholder I will<i>gladly accept a</i>1,047% increase year over year in Bitcoin revenue to $3.51 B as of Q1 2021. But Dorsey refusing to allow any other coins on the Cash App platform is, in my opinion, the wrong choice for Square and cryptocurrency in general. I have already heard several friends comment they see no role for Cash App because its “crypto features” only allow for Bitcoin trading.</p>\n<p>“That’s why we don’t deal with any other ‘currencies’ or ‘coins’ because we’re so focused on making bitcoin the native currency for the internet,”</p>\n<p>-Jack Dorsey, CEO Square</p>\n<p>Effectively, Dorsey is limiting features for Square’s Cash App users to focus all attention on Bitcoin. But that’s not really how cryptocurrency works – over the past several years the market share of Bitcoin has declined slightly as new platforms have generated interest and ease of investing in alternative coins. Diversity of coin options coincided with Bitcoin reaching its highest market capitalization of all time. I believe there is space for more than one coin in the future, and am personally invested in Ethereum (ETH-USD) due to the utility it offers as the nexus of Internet 3.0.</p>\n<p>I would love to see Dorsey developing revenue-driving crypto services such as decentralized finance for Square. I said this for SoFi, and I will say it again for Square: a staking system, by which users are granted upsize interest for holding Bitcoin in their Cash App, for example, would dramatically elevate Cash App’s value proposition. This is something for all challenger banks to explore and invest in, and it is a game changer.</p>\n<p>All that said, Square has a history of surprising analysts and investors with clever solutions that delight customers. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency landscape<i>needs</i>innovation and development, and Square is well capitalized in cash and intellect to address this issue.</p>\n<p><b>Square's Near Term Risks</b></p>\n<p>Despite how positive I feel about Square's long-term positioning in the fintech space, I would be remiss if I did not alert you to several considerable near term risks. Square is hurtling towards challenging 2020 comps, with Q2 2020 being the first quarter of government disbursement checks. While I expect Square to post excellent Seller and Cash App numbers, growth will inherently moderate. Furthermore, Cash App benefited from Robinhood's well-publicized meltdown in Q1, as retail investors searched for more transparent and reliable trading platforms. This resulted in a pull-forward of user growth, and I do not believe this is sustainable or reflective of Cash App's long term user growth rates.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, Square's Q1 2021 shareholder letter was chock full of new operating expense forecasts for Q2. Square promised stock based compensation would rise materially in Q2 as new hirings occurred (in Q1 was $118 million), an increase in product development and G&amp;A by $120 million, as well as an increase in transaction and loan losses by $40 million.</p>\n<p>A potential bright spot is Square's investment in DoorDash (DASH), which was a catalyst for Square's blowout Q4 2020 earnings. Based on a price of $168.5/share at the time of this writing, DoorDash's stock has appreciated 28.5% since Q1 end. That equates to a $65 million appreciation in Square's DoorDash equity ownership.</p>\n<p>Even still, netting out equity appreciation and Square's guided opex expansion, Square is guiding for roughly $110 million in additional Q2 spend. This is significant for a company that earned only $39 million last quarter, and Q1 was already benefiting from stimulus check disbursement and peak Bitcoin price and volatility.</p>\n<p>And that brings us to Bitcoin, of which Square owns 8,027 coins.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin's price at the conclusion of Q1 (March 31, 2021) was $58,724. At the time of this writing, one Bitcoin is valued at $32,270, or a 45% drop from the prior quarter.</p>\n<p><b>This is a loss of $259 million on Bitcoin alone in Q2, 2021.</b></p>\n<p>Gulp. All in, these costs will result in an estimated $370 million drag on Square's Q2 earnings. Despite these facts, consensus estimates for Square indicate the investment community believes Square will be<i>profitable</i>this quarter, with 86% earnings revisions up over the past three months. I would be shocked if Square turned a profit this next quarter.</p>\n<p>Accordingly, if you are considering a position in Square, this might be a good indication to wait on the sidelines and see how the next earnings call plays out. As a long term Square shareholder I will continue to hold, as none of these issues impacts my long term bullish stance on Square. I believe Bitcoin will recover over the balance of 2021, and Square's investments in product development and talent acquisition are necessary for the battle ahead with legacy banks.</p>\n<p><b>Concluding Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>The holy grail of the fintech space is low customer acquisition cost. Dorsey’s mastery of viral social media advertising generating low CAC's has been a primary catalyst of Square’s titanic growth rates. Square is just beginning to combine and integrate Cash App and Seller, which will manifest as increased user LTV and strengthening network effects.</p>\n<p>Between Square cross-selling Cash App and Seller, solidifying a banking presence with Square banking and the development and implementation of much-needed crypto services, Square will be the apex presence in the fintech space, with no natural predators. I believe this not only possible, but likely. As the future fintech king, Square has a vast ocean of opportunity ahead, because in the multi-trillion financial services space, winner takes most.</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>Square: Winner Takes Most</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\">\nSquare: Winner Takes Most\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-22 17:04 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435869-square-winner-takes-most><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nArguably the most important fintech metric is customer acquisition cost (CAC).

Square’s mastery of viral marketing results in the lowest CAC in the digital wallet space. This is a moat.\nSquare is building massive ecosystems in Cash App and Seller that are just beginning to overlap, which results in massive cross-selling opportunities and network effects.\nSquare banking is a major catalyst that has not received sufficient attention from analysts or investors.\nSquare has spent an entire year building as-of-yet unannounced Square Checking and Square Banking products. This is a shot across the bow at incumbent banks, and indicates Square is ready for a higher level of fintech warfare.\nSquare’s future relationship with crypto remains undercooked, and Dorsey’s overfocus on Bitcoin to the exclusion of alternative coins is an uncommon mistake.\n\nSquare's Investment Thesis\nWhen I begin researching a company for an article, I always start with the CEO. For as much as I know about balance sheets and technical analysis, it is the CEO that I am most critical and analytical about.\nThis is reflected in the types of companies I invest in and write about. Opendoor (OPEN), SoFi (SOFI), Zillow (Z) and Palantir (PLTR) are each led by visionary CEO’s, with colorful histories who make massive contributions to their industries. In my opinion, the story behind these disruptive companies and the CEOs who lead them can inform investment decisions as surely as an earnings report.\nWriting this article began no differently. Jack Dorsey, the $15 Billion dollar man who leads both Square (SQ) and Twitter (TWTR), is one of Wall Street’s biggest eccentricities. He has a penchant for meditating, facial hair, intermittent fasting, 80+ minute morning walks and wields an invisible armor that has allowed him to endure a decade of investors ranting he over-focuses on Square to the detriment of Twitter (sorry Twitter longs).\nToday, we will dive into Square – its competitive advantages over neo-banking peers and incumbents alike, Square's banking opportunity, as well as an update on Square’s cryptocurrency initiatives. Square is the best positioned company in the digital wallet space, and Jack's advertising expertise gained by founding and running Twitter has allowed Square to deploy viral marketing campaigns to fuel absurd growth in Cash App. Cash App's success is rivaled only by Square's Seller ecosystem, and these two businesses are just beginning to combine, interact and compound.\nWe're going to talk about all of this here. But first, I want to share a story about how a young Square, in its first years as a company, suffered a direct Amazon (AMZN) salvo and somehow emerged stronger.\nHow Square Survived An Amazon Siege\nBookstores, brick and mortal retail, supermarkets, meal-kits, enterprise cloud, the list of industries Amazon has bled out and internalized stretches on.\nAmazon has earned the moniker, “The Death Star.”Bought and paid for it. Over the past two decades no other company has so pervasively and efficiently disrupted legacy industries.\nAs a brief anecdote, in his early days at Amazon, CEO and founder Jeff Bezos was always searching for ways to eliminate company overhead. In his mind, the less Amazon spent on operations, the more savings could be passed on to Amazon customers.\nIn this vein, instead of purchasing a fancy desk for his office, Bezos built his own out of a recycled door and some two by fours. This practice caught on, and Amazon's employees participated broadly by building their own desks out of wooden doors.\nThe wooden door initiative served two purposes: 1) it was a cultural commitment to humility, from the top down, and 2) it emphasized the importance of spending money only on initiatives that improve the customer experience.\nThere's a picture of Bezos working away on his door deskhere. I’m tempted to frame this photograph, and I probably would if my fiancé would let me. Just confirmed, she says no. But I love this combined concept of customer obsession and frugality.\nFrom a capital allocation, leadership, and customer-centric perspective, it’s easy to look back now and recognize how Amazon became the goliath it is today. Bezos may not look it, but he is a ruthless, patient CEO whose basilisk gaze you pray doesn’t fall on your industry.\nSo when Amazon turned its cannons on a private, relatively small payment processing company named Square in 2014, you didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to know who would be left standing after the dust settled.\nBut if you assumed it would be Amazon, you would have been wrong.\n“Amazon Register” was built to kill Square. It undercut Square’s pricing by 30% and offered live customer service (which Square did not have). Even by Square co-founderJim McKelvey’s own admission, Amazon’s product worked better than Square’s ‘dongle’ did (I hate that word as much as you do and I promise to not use it again).\nBut Square survived. Thrived in fact. Square continued to execute along the same playbook, launched new features like Square Capital to the innovation stack, and grew roughly 10% week over week that year. Amazon, for all its strength, could not compete with Square in offerings, and small businesses were understandably skeptical about partnering with Amazon.\nAfter the year-long siege, on October 30, 2015, Amazon gracefully bowed out, announcing they were shuttering Amazon Register. When the hardware was officially discontinued in early 2016, Amazon mailed a white Square card reader to each of its business customers.\nAnd the rest is history.\nSince Square’s IPO in 2015, the company has continued to fend off fearsome competitors such as Intuit (INTU), PayPal (PYPL), and Shopify (SHOP), not to mention the largest banking systems in the world. Square has ridden a wave of timely and engaging financial innovations to a market cap of $107 Billion at the time of this writing. Cash App’s growth has been an absolute rocket ship, and Dorsey is delivering on the long term vision of connecting Seller and Cash App to one, unified ecosystem.\nSquare’s Moat: Customer Acquisition Cost\nIn the banking space, the company that optimizes lifetime value [LTV] vs customer acquisition cost [CAC] is the company that wins.\nRead that again, write it down, bold it and underline it.\nThis is not supernatural. Behind the B-school terminology is a basic principle of unit economics: make more from a customer than it costs to acquire them, and do it better than competitors.\nOf all the participants in the banking ecosystem, I believe Square has the lowest customer acquisition costs. This is a major part of the Dorsey value proposition, and misunderstood.\nAs founder and CEO of both Square and Twitter, Dorsey has been able to leverage his incredibly nuanced understanding of viral communication to inform viral marketing. Starting in 2017, Twitter mediated campaigns like #CashAppFriday, in which Square offers thousands of dollars to Twitter users who post their Cash App handle, has drawn massive numbers of comments, retweets and Cash App downloads. Partnerships with engaging content developers like the Joe Rogan Experience, Lex Fridmen, Burger King, Travis Scott and Lil B have continued to drive brand awareness. This brand awareness is critical, especially in a crowded digital banking space.According to this study, 82% of app or internet searchers choose a familiar brand for the first click.\nAs an example of viral and opportunistic marketing, in 2018 a prominent content creator on TikTok, “Shiggy” released a SoundCloud song about Cash App. After striking a sponsorship deal with Shiggy in 2019, the Cash App marketing team edited a shorter version of the single, and reached out to TikTok influencers with the below message:\n\n Create a TikTok with your best interpretation of the catchy song in everyday situations. And use hashtag #CashAppThatMoney.\n\nSource:Business Insider\nTo date, the Shiggy Cash App song has beenused in 9,138 videos. Prominent TikTok influencers such as Addison Rae (81+ million followers) have leveraged their massive platforms to drive hundreds of millions of views.\nLook at the below tweet I found from Cash App on May 7thof this year. By leveraging Cash App’s 1.2 million Twitter followers, $5k in marketing spend and goodwill resulted in 17.4k comments and 26.7k retweets. Those retweets create a reverberation in the Twitter ecosystem and result in a geometric increase in captive eyeballs. Now I am not a TikTok'er and I started a Twitter account within the past month, but it's important to appreciate Square's masterful use of these millennial and Gen Z driven platforms. Assuming roughly one in 50 retweeting individuals downloads CashApp, Square’s CAC is < $10 dollars.\n\nSource:CashApp Twitter\nThe takehome point from this type of marketing? Cash App is able to climb a more vertical slope of user acquisition at lower cost than challenger and incumbent banks alike.\nARK Invest estimatesincumbent banks spend an average of $925 dollars on customer acquisition. On Square’s most recent earning’s call, management confirmed their CAC was less than $5 dollars. Said another way, Square’s marketing and customer acquisition is 18,500% higher than your retail bank.\nSo how has Square flown under the radar of the massive U.S. banking industry?\nSquare’s strategy to largely target unbanked or “under-banked” individuals allowed them to build a platform without drawing the attention of Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of America (BAC), and JPMorgan Chase (JPM). But Square is now one of the top ten largest ‘banks’ in the United States by market cap, and is expanding its total addressable market to those who are already clients of traditional banks.\nThis strategy of finding an underserved population, providing value to those customers, then broadening offerings and selling upmarket is in Square’s DNA. They followed the same playbook on the Seller side, initially targeting small businesses doing less than $100k in GMV, but today Square's fastest growing segment is mid- to large-size businesses.\nSquare’s peer Venmo cannot flex the same marketing efficiencies as Cash App. Cash App continues to hold the crown as the most downloaded finance application on Apple’s App Store (AAPL) as well as Google Play Store (GOOG), more popular than Venmo, PayPal Cash, and Robinhood (RBNHD). Furthermore, Square has a full 10X more followers than Venmo on Twitter. These advantages manifest as Square enjoying a healthy gap over Venmo in search as well.\n\nSource:Similarweb\n\nSource: I made this with help fromGoogle Trends\nPerhaps most importantly, although Venmo has more monthly active users (MAU’s), Square is better atmonetizingthese users.According to RBC Capital analyst DanielPerlin, Venmo garners roughly $12 from each MAU, whereas Cash App brings in $54. And due to industry low CAC, Cash App gets the extra benefit of being more profitable as well.\nWhile there is much more that can be said about Square and PayPal’s competition in the challenger banking space, it is this customer acquisition and long term value that underlies why I prefer holding shares of Square over PayPal.\nSquare is just doing the important things better than Venmo. Part of this is Dorsey's social media advantages, but I believe much if it has to do with the fact that Venmo was acquired by PayPal, whereas Square remains independent. The innovative connective tissue which once held Venmo together and fostered bold ideas and big bets was absorbed into the massive PayPal machine, and lost.\nAs a SoFi shareholder and bull, I was disappointed to learn in my research that SoFi has been unable thus far to creatively turn its Twitter presence into a customer acquisition engine. Despite 120k+ followers, the SoFi Twitter page has relatively low engagement and no promotional activities reminiscent of #CashAppFriday. SoFi CEO Anthony Noto coincidentally was formerly COO of Twitter when #CashAppFriday first launched, and I believe he will be able to leverage this experience into a more engaging social media presence. Fortunately for SoFi, their CAC's are low (~$40) with much higher LTV's than Cash App as of now (roughly double, close to $2,000 with cross selling into lending).\nSquare Financial Services: A Bank For All Mankind\nOn March 1, 2021, Square announced its banking service had begun operations after completing the charter approval process with the FDIC. This is a massive catalyst for Square’s business, and positions them squarely against the glacially slow incumbent banks.\nI recently wrote adeep dive on SoFi(SOFI), which is also pursuing a bank charter, and discussed the massive benefits these fintech companies inherit by building banking infrastructure. With this banking platform, Square will be able to make loans using deposits on its platform, originate loans to small businesses, and improve profitability.\nAbout a month ago, an iOS developer namedSteve Moser discovered codeon a Square software update revealing new products “Square Checking” and “Square Savings.” Based on the code, Square is planning to offer 0.5% interest rates for its savings accounts through 2021, a full 8+ times higher than thenational savings account average.\nSquare's banking play is a continuation of the playbook that led them to purchase Credit Karma’s tax preparation business in 2020. At the time of the acquisition, roughly 2 million Americans used Karma to file returns, with an average refund of $2k. Those tax returns were then deposited in Cash App accounts, where fintech magic happens. Higher account deposits can be loaned out, drive increased transaction volume, and ultimately elevate the LTV of the user.\nSoFi is doing something similar with its $3k account minimums for SoFi IPO Invest, and Square’s banking venture has the opportunity to both elevate account balances and steal additional customers from incumbent banks.\nAnd the incumbent banks are terrified. See what Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan and perhaps the most famous banker in the world has said about Square over the years.\n\n What does the small business want? They wanted to process cash and checks and debit on the same machine. We didn’t give them that opportunity. Square did.\n\nJamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, 2019\nAnd more recently when asked if JPM should be scared of challenger banks like Square:\n\n Absolutely we should be scared s---less about that. We’ve just got to get quicker, better, faster.\n\nJamie Dimon, CEO, JP Morgan, Investor Day, January, 2021\nMost importantly, adding banking services multiplies the LTV of Square's customers, and is a major step towards Cash App becoming a financial super app. The single biggest money maker for individual banking customers is checking and savings accounts. According to an ARK Invest white paper, LTV per retail banking customer is roughly $3,600, of which a full 25%, or $900 is checking and savings accounts.\n\nSource: ARK Invest, with annotations from me:Cash App vs Venmo\nYou can breathlessly hype Square's Bitcoin opportunities and wax poetic about Cash App's booming Bitcoin revenue, but the meat and potatoes is here, right in front of us: Square banking. The weapon Square will use to dethrone the incumbent banks is slowly being drawn from its sheath.\nJack Dorsey's Bitcoin Obsession\nFor those of you who don't follow Dorsey on Twitter or read updates about the Bitcoin (BTC-USD) 2021 Convention, believe me when I say Jack isconvictedabout the role Bitcoin will play in the Internet’s future.\n\n If I were not at Square or Twitter, I would be working on bitcoin. If bitcoin needed more help than Square or Twitter, I would leave them for bitcoin.\n\nJack Dorsey, CEO Square, CEO Twitter,Bitcoin 2021 Conference\nAt the conference Dorsey announced Square is considering releasing a hardware Bitcoin wallet. For those unfamiliar, when you purchase cryptocurrency on an exchange, the vast majority of the time it is not actuallyyours, but is in fact an IOU. If you’ve heard the expression, “Not your keys, not your coins,” this is referring directly to this issue. If you don’t have a hardware wallet with a password only you have access to, then the coins don’t truly belong to you.\nRegarding Square's involvement inBitcoin hardware wallets, color me unimpressed. I was surprised to see Square’s stock pop on that news. I can’t really see a situation where a company doing $20+ Billion a year in sales like Square gets meaningful top or bottom line contribution from a glorified flash drive. It’s just not going to move the needle.\nTo be honest, cryptocurrency is the biggest potential blind spot I see right now in Dorsey’s execution. Don’t get me wrong, as a Square shareholder I willgladly accept a1,047% increase year over year in Bitcoin revenue to $3.51 B as of Q1 2021. But Dorsey refusing to allow any other coins on the Cash App platform is, in my opinion, the wrong choice for Square and cryptocurrency in general. I have already heard several friends comment they see no role for Cash App because its “crypto features” only allow for Bitcoin trading.\n“That’s why we don’t deal with any other ‘currencies’ or ‘coins’ because we’re so focused on making bitcoin the native currency for the internet,”\n-Jack Dorsey, CEO Square\nEffectively, Dorsey is limiting features for Square’s Cash App users to focus all attention on Bitcoin. But that’s not really how cryptocurrency works – over the past several years the market share of Bitcoin has declined slightly as new platforms have generated interest and ease of investing in alternative coins. Diversity of coin options coincided with Bitcoin reaching its highest market capitalization of all time. I believe there is space for more than one coin in the future, and am personally invested in Ethereum (ETH-USD) due to the utility it offers as the nexus of Internet 3.0.\nI would love to see Dorsey developing revenue-driving crypto services such as decentralized finance for Square. I said this for SoFi, and I will say it again for Square: a staking system, by which users are granted upsize interest for holding Bitcoin in their Cash App, for example, would dramatically elevate Cash App’s value proposition. This is something for all challenger banks to explore and invest in, and it is a game changer.\nAll that said, Square has a history of surprising analysts and investors with clever solutions that delight customers. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency landscapeneedsinnovation and development, and Square is well capitalized in cash and intellect to address this issue.\nSquare's Near Term Risks\nDespite how positive I feel about Square's long-term positioning in the fintech space, I would be remiss if I did not alert you to several considerable near term risks. Square is hurtling towards challenging 2020 comps, with Q2 2020 being the first quarter of government disbursement checks. While I expect Square to post excellent Seller and Cash App numbers, growth will inherently moderate. Furthermore, Cash App benefited from Robinhood's well-publicized meltdown in Q1, as retail investors searched for more transparent and reliable trading platforms. This resulted in a pull-forward of user growth, and I do not believe this is sustainable or reflective of Cash App's long term user growth rates.\nFurthermore, Square's Q1 2021 shareholder letter was chock full of new operating expense forecasts for Q2. Square promised stock based compensation would rise materially in Q2 as new hirings occurred (in Q1 was $118 million), an increase in product development and G&A by $120 million, as well as an increase in transaction and loan losses by $40 million.\nA potential bright spot is Square's investment in DoorDash (DASH), which was a catalyst for Square's blowout Q4 2020 earnings. Based on a price of $168.5/share at the time of this writing, DoorDash's stock has appreciated 28.5% since Q1 end. That equates to a $65 million appreciation in Square's DoorDash equity ownership.\nEven still, netting out equity appreciation and Square's guided opex expansion, Square is guiding for roughly $110 million in additional Q2 spend. This is significant for a company that earned only $39 million last quarter, and Q1 was already benefiting from stimulus check disbursement and peak Bitcoin price and volatility.\nAnd that brings us to Bitcoin, of which Square owns 8,027 coins.\nBitcoin's price at the conclusion of Q1 (March 31, 2021) was $58,724. At the time of this writing, one Bitcoin is valued at $32,270, or a 45% drop from the prior quarter.\nThis is a loss of $259 million on Bitcoin alone in Q2, 2021.\nGulp. All in, these costs will result in an estimated $370 million drag on Square's Q2 earnings. Despite these facts, consensus estimates for Square indicate the investment community believes Square will beprofitablethis quarter, with 86% earnings revisions up over the past three months. I would be shocked if Square turned a profit this next quarter.\nAccordingly, if you are considering a position in Square, this might be a good indication to wait on the sidelines and see how the next earnings call plays out. As a long term Square shareholder I will continue to hold, as none of these issues impacts my long term bullish stance on Square. I believe Bitcoin will recover over the balance of 2021, and Square's investments in product development and talent acquisition are necessary for the battle ahead with legacy banks.\nConcluding Thoughts\nThe holy grail of the fintech space is low customer acquisition cost. Dorsey’s mastery of viral social media advertising generating low CAC's has been a primary catalyst of Square’s titanic growth rates. Square is just beginning to combine and integrate Cash App and Seller, which will manifest as increased user LTV and strengthening network effects.\nBetween Square cross-selling Cash App and Seller, solidifying a banking presence with Square banking and the development and implementation of much-needed crypto services, Square will be the apex presence in the fintech space, with no natural predators. I believe this not only possible, but likely. As the future fintech king, Square has a vast ocean of opportunity ahead, because in the multi-trillion financial services space, winner takes most.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":534,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128055462,"gmtCreate":1624496187456,"gmtModify":1703838308503,"author":{"id":"3586315254285458","authorId":"3586315254285458","name":"EricTan4527","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d44236c4ebf7d2188154b3ab2c05456a","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586315254285458","authorIdStr":"3586315254285458"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Shoot high and fly","listText":"Shoot high and fly","text":"Shoot high and fly","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/128055462","repostId":"2145156570","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2145156570","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1624489510,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2145156570?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 07:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla lifts Nasdaq to record-high close, S&P 500 dips","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2145156570","media":"Reuters","summary":"June 23  - The Nasdaq climbed to a record-high close on Wednesday, fueled by a rally in Tesla Inc , while the S&P 500 dipped, even as investors cheered data that showed a record peak for U.S. factory activity in June.Gains in Nvidia Corp and $Facebook$ Inc extended a recent rebound in top-shelf growth stocks that fell out of favor in recent months as investors focused on companies expected to do well as the economy recovers from the pandemic.Data firm IHS $Markit$ said its flash U.S. manufacturi","content":"<p>June 23 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq climbed to a record-high close on Wednesday, fueled by a rally in Tesla Inc , while the S&amp;P 500 dipped, even as investors cheered data that showed a record peak for U.S. factory activity in June.</p>\n<p>Gains in Nvidia Corp and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc extended a recent rebound in top-shelf growth stocks that fell out of favor in recent months as investors focused on companies expected to do well as the economy recovers from the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Data firm IHS <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRKT\">Markit</a> said its flash U.S. manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to a reading of 62.6 this month, beating estimates of 61.5, but manufacturers are still struggling to secure raw materials and qualified workers, substantially raising prices.</p>\n<p>The \"high level of today's surveys will provide some confirmation for the Fed that the time to begin taking its foot off the accelerator is not far away,\" said Jai Malhi, global market strategist at J.P.

It also said it was confident the two ID.4 models would see sales growth and noted plans for three more ID models to be launched this year in China.   NOT SMART ENOUGH?   More than any other country, China has aggressively pushed for the adoption of electric cars, introducing sales quotas as it seeks to cut pollution, encourage the growth of its auto industry and reduce reliance on oil.   Volkswagen, the country's biggest foreign automaker with 3.85 million vehicles - mostly gasoline - sold last year, has more riding on successfully transitioning its customers to EVs than the average automaker. It has also declared its intention to surpass Tesla as the world's top EV maker by 2025, ensuring that China will become a crucial battleground.

At the shopping mall where Qian checked out the ID.4, the SAIC-Volkswagen showroom is right next door to a store run by Xpeng and close to rival stores belonging to EV startup Neta and Huawei, which sells an electric car in partnership with automaker Seres. A store for Chinese EV maker Aiways is also set to open nearby soon.   \"Compared with Europe, this car has too much competition and they are all new models with a strong tech sense,\" said Zhang.   Volkswagen said in its statement it would be offering new software feature updates in the future and with newer models.   TEETHING PROBLEMS   Volkswagen has been faster than some other foreign automakers in China with EV development such as Toyota Motor Corp    and Ford Motor Co   , but sources say ideally it should have moved quicker.     Its joint ventures' EV plants, which can each build 300,000 vehicles per year, were ready for mass production in early 2020 but time taken to develop the vehicles in Germany meant the new ID.4s did not get regulatory approval until July, they added.   At the distribution level, Volkswagen is grappling with the introduction of new sales strategies popular with pure-play EV competitors.   Rather than relying predominantly on its existing roughly 2,000-dealer network, it is shifting to an agency sales model for EVs where showrooms are typically located in shopping malls, prices are fixed and there is no inventory for showroom operators.   The lack of inventory, however, has meant that staff who are used to the pressure inventory brings have less financial motivation to sell product, people familiar with the matter said.   Volkswagen said in its statement that production at its EV plants was running on schedule and that internal feedback on its new agency model is very positive.
