But the stock, alongside the broader market, has since come to a bust with declines of more than 15%.</p><p>With inflation running its hottest course in four decades, the Federal Reserve has showed signs ofamped-up urgency in paring pandemic-era stimulus and pivoting toward a hawkish stance on monetary policy tightening. The impending rate hike cycle that is expected to begin in March has stirred investors’ concern over potential erosion of value on future gains and stalled growth due to rising costs of capital. This has led to a broad market sell-off in recent weeks, especially for high-growth stocks, as investors rotated out of risky assets to safer investments like Treasuries. As benchmark Treasury yield surpassed 1.8% last week in anticipation of the Fed’s plans to begin the rate hiking cycle soon to quell runaway inflation, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was pushed into correction territory after declining more than 10% from its November closing record. A disappointing outlook released by Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) last week also has further fuelled investor angst, as the market continues on a freefall despite the brief mid-day rebound observed on Monday’s session.</p><p>Apple stock is now standing in a unique position in terms of timing, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to give an update on monetary policy decision on Wednesday and the tech giant’s corporate earnings release on Thursday. On one hand, Wednesday’s briefing from Powell could lead to further market volatility as investors brace for an announcement on the timing and magnitude of upcoming rate hikes. On the other hand, Apple’s results and outlook to be released on the following day could come in strong and save the day by reversing the dire sentiment over the technology sector.</p><p>While some are bracing for an aggressive dose of monetary policy tightening with an initial rate hike of up to 50 bps in March to rein in inflation, the Fed will likely tread lightly over the matter. Despite historical inflation, it&#39;s likely the Fed is “acutely aware of the risk around getting too aggressive” and making a policy mistake that could be detrimental to the economy. As for Apple, the tech giant is expected to deliver an update that will likely encompass strong holiday season sales and robust demand for its products and services, despite protracted supply chain constraints being the near-term overhang.</p><p>As discussed in our previous coverage, Apple remains a top hedge against mounting macro headwinds like inflation and rate hikes. With strong cash flows, robust earnings and revenue growth, and expanding margins through scale and pricing power, the performance of Apple’s underlying business is really as good as it gets when it comes to resistance against inflation and tightening monetary policy. The stock’s latest pullback also puts its current trading multiples at a small discount compared to those during last year’s February tech stock sell-off. It&#39;s currently trading at about 28.8x TTM earnings compared to above 30x at the onset of 2021’s early-year sell-off.</p><p>Apple’s demonstration of continued strength in demand for its products and services, its ability to generate robust cash flows, and its innovative technology roadmap builds a strong hedge case against upcoming valuation adjustment risks posed by the upcoming tightening of monetary policy. Paired with the stock’s recent pullback in price, we&#39;re maintaining a buy rating with expectations for it to contest the $200-level within the next 12 months.</p><p><b>What We have Observed So Far Over the Holiday Season</b></p><p>Following last quarter’s earnings call when the company reported $6 billion in lost sales due to COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions, there have been growing uncertainties on how the biggest sales quarter of the year has fared in one of the most protracted supply chain disruptions experienced in the history of the industry. We have done some field work over the holidays and earlier this month by going to Apple stores to gauge how sales have performed during the December quarter. Based on discussions with sales representatives, this is what we have gathered:</p><ul><li>Black Friday: Apple has opted for gift card rebates over traditional discounts on sticker prices offered by authorized retailers during the Black Friday shopping event. Based on discussions with in-store employees, the strategy has done a good job in retaining sales from customers who would have otherwise left the store empty handed due to lack of inventory on products they had originally intended to buy. For instance, bundle rebates on lower-priced in-stock items like the AirPods and AirTags have garnered strong traction during the annual shopping event. In our view, the gift card rebate has not only proven to be a prudent strategy in retaining customer sales despite lacking inventory, but also a good way to ensure additional inflow of future revenues instead of one-off discounts for customers that could be lost to competitors down the road.</li><li>Boxing Day: Visited Apple stores in North America actually did not offer any Boxing Day discounts, but demand for products remained robust. Many customers came in looking for the new iPhone 13 and iPads, but were forced to leave empty-handed due to severely limited inventory levels. Most had opted for online orders, which had long wait times, but that has not deterred them from making the purchase. This implies stickiness of demand for Apple’s suite of products, as well as the effectiveness of Apple’s continued commitment to product upgrades and innovations.</li><li>Today: Visited stores said they have quickly sold out of stock received on the all-new MacBook Pros, which run on the M1 Pro/M1 Pro Max chips. However, customer demand remains robust with many turning to online orders despite a three-week minimum wait time. Many stores are also out of all models of the iPads. On the iPhone front, some stores have indicated they had just received shipment for what was supposed to be December stock. Many salespersons we have spoken to believe sales would have been much better had the iPhone 13 shipments arrived in December as intended because that was pretty much what everyone was asking for during the holiday season. On the downside, this implies Apple has certainly remained impacted from supply chain bottlenecks during the holiday season. But on the upside, the iPhone 13 clearly remains a dominant player in the smartphone, and 5G-enabled devices, market.</li></ul><p>Supply chain constraints are clearly still a theme for Apple. And it seemed to have been accentuated over the December-quarter – its best sales quarter of the year – when most wanted to get their hands on the most advanced mobile and computing devices, and complementing accessories and gadgets. Yet, the company continues to be prudent in salvaging sales through strategies like gift card rebates to abate the impact of lost sales from supply chain disruptions, which we consider a prudent move to ensure demand does not spill over to competitors. Consumer willingness to endure long wait times through online orders are also testament to continued strength in demand for Apple’s products.</p><p>A high-level conclusion based on the information gathered from stores visited would imply the company has likely endured much more than $6 billion in lost revenues due to ongoing COVID- and supply-chain-related impacts to business during the December-quarter. However, demand definitely remains robust, which underscores the tech giant’s continued dominance across the market segments in which it operates in. And the company’s management team has clearly done a good job in ensuring demand remains in their pockets despite the current shortfall in supply. These, together, are all positive signs that the company’s valuation prospects remain intact.</p><p><b>Easing Supply Chain Constraints</b></p><p>On the supply front, supply chain bottlenecks are expected to ease over the course of the current year, which will help the stock defy related pressures as well as those from the recent sell-off on rate hike concerns. Following Microsoft’s most recent earnings call Tuesday, the stock saw a steep rebound following announcement of a strong outlook on cloud-computing business growth. And a similar trend should be in order for Apple as well, considering expectations for a positive change in management’s sentiment towards the current supply chain situation which would imply a strong performance outlook for the year.</p><p>The expectation is further corroborated by recent information released by Apple’s key supply chain partners, including Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN) and Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTCPK:HNHAF). Texas Instruments, the world’s largest producer and supplier of analog and embedded processing chips, and a key supplier of display parts to Apple, has provided a stronger-than-expected sales and profit forecast during Tuesday’s earnings call. The semiconductor giant also reported slight improvements to inventory levels, albeit still about 40% lower than normal, as well as lower volumes of expedited order requests. These items, together, suggest that the ongoing chip supply shortage may be finally starting to ease. The expected trend is further corroborated by recent announcements from Hon Hai Precision Industry, the key assembler of Apple’s iPhones. Hon Hai’s Chairman Young Liu is predicting “unprecedented performance in the first quarter” that will surpass historical output levels. The global leader in contracted consumer electronics manufacturing is gearing up to ensure adequate levels of inventory for customers this quarter, including Apple, to prevent further unravelling of supply chain disruptions.</p><p>While Apple’s fiscal second quarter has historically experienced slower sales compared to the fiscal first quarter due to seasonality, recent improvements to supply chain will likely drive a boost in sales. Paired with in-store observations of replenished iPhone stock and the expectation for returning customers looking to cash in their gift card rebates received over the holidays, a stronger-than-expected outlook for the year is likely in order.</p><p><b>Continued Demand Buoyed by an Ever-Improving Product Line-Up</b></p><p>The iPhone 13 remains the dominant 5G-enabled mobile device on the market. It was the most sought-after product during the holiday season, and remains so today even as inventories begin to return to normal levels. Some regions are reporting wait times of up to a full week for online iPhone 13 orders to arrive due to the ongoing clash between robust demand and squeezed supply. While Apple is in process of restoring balance across its supply of the iPhone 13, its core revenue driver among other products, it is also continuously working on improving its product roadmap.</p><p>This includes the highly anticipated roll-out of the budget-friendly 5G-enabled iPhone SE, which is expected for later this year. The current iPhone SE only supports up to 4G LTE, and is still running on the 2019 A13 chips, while the newest generation of iPhones have already moved on to the A15 Bionic chips which promise much faster speeds. Although Apple has not yet released any official statement on the potentially newest addition to the iPhone family, it would only make sense for an upgrade on the iPhone SE with 5G and new processors to ensure its performance is caught up to current demands. As mentioned in our previous coverage, iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. And the launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE would better equip Apple to attract switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users” and further its market share in the smartphones category. It would also help Apple maintain its lead in the 5G competition against rival Samsung, which has recently launched its own budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G to capitalize on rising opportunities stemming from non-premium upgrades.</p><p>The global push for 5G adoption and Apple’s aging installed base of iPhones is also expected to drive the segment into one of the largest multi-year upgrade cycles ahead. Reputable wireless carriers have been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices, including the iPhone 12/13, in recent months with enticing offers in hopes of boosting their 5G network sign-ups to recoup their years of investments into the rollout of next-generation wireless service. And with more than a quarter of Apple’s active iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X), Apple is looking to benefit from a multi-year wave of upgrade purchases as users of the older iPhones look to convert to newer models that are compatible with the latest technology.</p><p>As mentioned in earlier sections, Macs and iPads also appear to be rare commodities right now due to stickier-than-expected demand that have carried over from the peak of the pandemic. Robust holiday season demand for iPads, iMacs and MacBooks observed in store and online have driven the segment’s shipments up by 9% compared to the prior year,beating performance of all five best-selling PC vendors. While the milestone is expected to be a plus for fiscal first quarter earnings to be released later this week, the anticipated launch of additional product upgrades across Apple’s computing devices segment is what will drive further acceleration in growth for the current year and beyond:</p><ul><li>iPad Pro: The last time the iPad Pro had a full-on makeover was in 2018, which made its debut about a year and a half after the preceding model. Taking that for a proxy, a completely redesigned iPad Pro should be in the books for launch later this year, especially as the last two models were essentially “new chip and camera upgrades.” In addition to an exterior makeover that would likely feature a glass back, the next-generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the newest M2 chip and integrated wireless charging to match capabilities of the iPhone.</li><li>iMac: With the newest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips now fitted into the redesigned MacBook Pros, the next step would likely be to bring them into the iMac desktops. The redesigned M1-powered iMac launched last year has proven to be in high demand thanks to the surge in global demand for reliable workstations for work-from-home needs. Any improvements to the desktop’s processing power will likely drive further demand from those who has yet to make the leap on an upgrade, especially as the rising tide of hybrid working and learning arrangements is proving to be a staying trend even in the post-pandemic era.</li></ul><p>Services are also expected to play a larger role in Apple’s growth trajectory going forward. About a quarter of Apple’s sales last year were attributable to the services segment. Yet, it only accounted for about 10% of Apple’s consolidated cost of sales, indicating the segment’s generous margins. And Apple’s bottom line will only further benefit from expectations for further growth in demand for Apple services going forward. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. And its recent push for a subscription-based business model across its wide array of existing service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings and pricing options will continue to be a key driver for the segment’s growth, and inadvertently, the company’s fast-expanding margins.</p><p><b>Conclusion: AAPL’s Pullback Is a Buy Opportunity</b></p><p>Although equities are likely to remain volatile in the near term due to uncertainties over the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening agenda, Apple will likely draw a rebound from Thursday’s earnings call. While lost revenues driven by COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions are likely a given, the tech giant is expected to have set a new record for fiscal first quarter sales on strong holiday season demand, nonetheless. Recent observations of easing supply chain constraints across Apple’s suppliers and manufacturing partners also signal improvements to the current year sales outlook, which bolsters investors’ confidence in the stock.

This makes Apple's recent price decline a reasonable buy opportunity considering there are still generous upsides ahead.nyc russ/iStock Editorial via Getty ImagesApple(NASDAQ:AAPL)rang into the New Year with a boom by becoming the first U.S.-listed public company to surpass a market cap of $3 trillion. But the stock, alongside the broader market, has since come to a bust with declines of more than 15%.With inflation running its hottest course in four decades, the Federal Reserve has showed signs ofamped-up urgency in paring pandemic-era stimulus and pivoting toward a hawkish stance on monetary policy tightening. The impending rate hike cycle that is expected to begin in March has stirred investors’ concern over potential erosion of value on future gains and stalled growth due to rising costs of capital. This has led to a broad market sell-off in recent weeks, especially for high-growth stocks, as investors rotated out of risky assets to safer investments like Treasuries. As benchmark Treasury yield surpassed 1.8% last week in anticipation of the Fed’s plans to begin the rate hiking cycle soon to quell runaway inflation, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was pushed into correction territory after declining more than 10% from its November closing record. A disappointing outlook released by Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) last week also has further fuelled investor angst, as the market continues on a freefall despite the brief mid-day rebound observed on Monday’s session.Apple stock is now standing in a unique position in terms of timing, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to give an update on monetary policy decision on Wednesday and the tech giant’s corporate earnings release on Thursday. On one hand, Wednesday’s briefing from Powell could lead to further market volatility as investors brace for an announcement on the timing and magnitude of upcoming rate hikes. On the other hand, Apple’s results and outlook to be released on the following day could come in strong and save the day by reversing the dire sentiment over the technology sector.While some are bracing for an aggressive dose of monetary policy tightening with an initial rate hike of up to 50 bps in March to rein in inflation, the Fed will likely tread lightly over the matter. Despite historical inflation, it's likely the Fed is “acutely aware of the risk around getting too aggressive” and making a policy mistake that could be detrimental to the economy. As for Apple, the tech giant is expected to deliver an update that will likely encompass strong holiday season sales and robust demand for its products and services, despite protracted supply chain constraints being the near-term overhang.As discussed in our previous coverage, Apple remains a top hedge against mounting macro headwinds like inflation and rate hikes. With strong cash flows, robust earnings and revenue growth, and expanding margins through scale and pricing power, the performance of Apple’s underlying business is really as good as it gets when it comes to resistance against inflation and tightening monetary policy. The stock’s latest pullback also puts its current trading multiples at a small discount compared to those during last year’s February tech stock sell-off. It's currently trading at about 28.8x TTM earnings compared to above 30x at the onset of 2021’s early-year sell-off.Apple’s demonstration of continued strength in demand for its products and services, its ability to generate robust cash flows, and its innovative technology roadmap builds a strong hedge case against upcoming valuation adjustment risks posed by the upcoming tightening of monetary policy. Paired with the stock’s recent pullback in price, we're maintaining a buy rating with expectations for it to contest the $200-level within the next 12 months.What We have Observed So Far Over the Holiday SeasonFollowing last quarter’s earnings call when the company reported $6 billion in lost sales due to COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions, there have been growing uncertainties on how the biggest sales quarter of the year has fared in one of the most protracted supply chain disruptions experienced in the history of the industry. We have done some field work over the holidays and earlier this month by going to Apple stores to gauge how sales have performed during the December quarter. Based on discussions with sales representatives, this is what we have gathered:Black Friday: Apple has opted for gift card rebates over traditional discounts on sticker prices offered by authorized retailers during the Black Friday shopping event. Based on discussions with in-store employees, the strategy has done a good job in retaining sales from customers who would have otherwise left the store empty handed due to lack of inventory on products they had originally intended to buy. For instance, bundle rebates on lower-priced in-stock items like the AirPods and AirTags have garnered strong traction during the annual shopping event. In our view, the gift card rebate has not only proven to be a prudent strategy in retaining customer sales despite lacking inventory, but also a good way to ensure additional inflow of future revenues instead of one-off discounts for customers that could be lost to competitors down the road.Boxing Day: Visited Apple stores in North America actually did not offer any Boxing Day discounts, but demand for products remained robust. Many customers came in looking for the new iPhone 13 and iPads, but were forced to leave empty-handed due to severely limited inventory levels. Most had opted for online orders, which had long wait times, but that has not deterred them from making the purchase. This implies stickiness of demand for Apple’s suite of products, as well as the effectiveness of Apple’s continued commitment to product upgrades and innovations.Today: Visited stores said they have quickly sold out of stock received on the all-new MacBook Pros, which run on the M1 Pro/M1 Pro Max chips. However, customer demand remains robust with many turning to online orders despite a three-week minimum wait time. Many stores are also out of all models of the iPads. On the iPhone front, some stores have indicated they had just received shipment for what was supposed to be December stock. Many salespersons we have spoken to believe sales would have been much better had the iPhone 13 shipments arrived in December as intended because that was pretty much what everyone was asking for during the holiday season. On the downside, this implies Apple has certainly remained impacted from supply chain bottlenecks during the holiday season. But on the upside, the iPhone 13 clearly remains a dominant player in the smartphone, and 5G-enabled devices, market.Supply chain constraints are clearly still a theme for Apple. And it seemed to have been accentuated over the December-quarter – its best sales quarter of the year – when most wanted to get their hands on the most advanced mobile and computing devices, and complementing accessories and gadgets. Yet, the company continues to be prudent in salvaging sales through strategies like gift card rebates to abate the impact of lost sales from supply chain disruptions, which we consider a prudent move to ensure demand does not spill over to competitors. Consumer willingness to endure long wait times through online orders are also testament to continued strength in demand for Apple’s products.A high-level conclusion based on the information gathered from stores visited would imply the company has likely endured much more than $6 billion in lost revenues due to ongoing COVID- and supply-chain-related impacts to business during the December-quarter. However, demand definitely remains robust, which underscores the tech giant’s continued dominance across the market segments in which it operates in. And the company’s management team has clearly done a good job in ensuring demand remains in their pockets despite the current shortfall in supply. These, together, are all positive signs that the company’s valuation prospects remain intact.Easing Supply Chain ConstraintsOn the supply front, supply chain bottlenecks are expected to ease over the course of the current year, which will help the stock defy related pressures as well as those from the recent sell-off on rate hike concerns. Following Microsoft’s most recent earnings call Tuesday, the stock saw a steep rebound following announcement of a strong outlook on cloud-computing business growth. And a similar trend should be in order for Apple as well, considering expectations for a positive change in management’s sentiment towards the current supply chain situation which would imply a strong performance outlook for the year.The expectation is further corroborated by recent information released by Apple’s key supply chain partners, including Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN) and Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTCPK:HNHAF). Texas Instruments, the world’s largest producer and supplier of analog and embedded processing chips, and a key supplier of display parts to Apple, has provided a stronger-than-expected sales and profit forecast during Tuesday’s earnings call. The semiconductor giant also reported slight improvements to inventory levels, albeit still about 40% lower than normal, as well as lower volumes of expedited order requests. These items, together, suggest that the ongoing chip supply shortage may be finally starting to ease. The expected trend is further corroborated by recent announcements from Hon Hai Precision Industry, the key assembler of Apple’s iPhones. Hon Hai’s Chairman Young Liu is predicting “unprecedented performance in the first quarter” that will surpass historical output levels. The global leader in contracted consumer electronics manufacturing is gearing up to ensure adequate levels of inventory for customers this quarter, including Apple, to prevent further unravelling of supply chain disruptions.While Apple’s fiscal second quarter has historically experienced slower sales compared to the fiscal first quarter due to seasonality, recent improvements to supply chain will likely drive a boost in sales. Paired with in-store observations of replenished iPhone stock and the expectation for returning customers looking to cash in their gift card rebates received over the holidays, a stronger-than-expected outlook for the year is likely in order.Continued Demand Buoyed by an Ever-Improving Product Line-UpThe iPhone 13 remains the dominant 5G-enabled mobile device on the market. It was the most sought-after product during the holiday season, and remains so today even as inventories begin to return to normal levels. Some regions are reporting wait times of up to a full week for online iPhone 13 orders to arrive due to the ongoing clash between robust demand and squeezed supply. While Apple is in process of restoring balance across its supply of the iPhone 13, its core revenue driver among other products, it is also continuously working on improving its product roadmap.This includes the highly anticipated roll-out of the budget-friendly 5G-enabled iPhone SE, which is expected for later this year. The current iPhone SE only supports up to 4G LTE, and is still running on the 2019 A13 chips, while the newest generation of iPhones have already moved on to the A15 Bionic chips which promise much faster speeds. Although Apple has not yet released any official statement on the potentially newest addition to the iPhone family, it would only make sense for an upgrade on the iPhone SE with 5G and new processors to ensure its performance is caught up to current demands. As mentioned in our previous coverage, iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. And the launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE would better equip Apple to attract switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users” and further its market share in the smartphones category. It would also help Apple maintain its lead in the 5G competition against rival Samsung, which has recently launched its own budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G to capitalize on rising opportunities stemming from non-premium upgrades.The global push for 5G adoption and Apple’s aging installed base of iPhones is also expected to drive the segment into one of the largest multi-year upgrade cycles ahead. Reputable wireless carriers have been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices, including the iPhone 12/13, in recent months with enticing offers in hopes of boosting their 5G network sign-ups to recoup their years of investments into the rollout of next-generation wireless service. And with more than a quarter of Apple’s active iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X), Apple is looking to benefit from a multi-year wave of upgrade purchases as users of the older iPhones look to convert to newer models that are compatible with the latest technology.As mentioned in earlier sections, Macs and iPads also appear to be rare commodities right now due to stickier-than-expected demand that have carried over from the peak of the pandemic. Robust holiday season demand for iPads, iMacs and MacBooks observed in store and online have driven the segment’s shipments up by 9% compared to the prior year,beating performance of all five best-selling PC vendors. While the milestone is expected to be a plus for fiscal first quarter earnings to be released later this week, the anticipated launch of additional product upgrades across Apple’s computing devices segment is what will drive further acceleration in growth for the current year and beyond:iPad Pro: The last time the iPad Pro had a full-on makeover was in 2018, which made its debut about a year and a half after the preceding model. Taking that for a proxy, a completely redesigned iPad Pro should be in the books for launch later this year, especially as the last two models were essentially “new chip and camera upgrades.” In addition to an exterior makeover that would likely feature a glass back, the next-generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the newest M2 chip and integrated wireless charging to match capabilities of the iPhone.iMac: With the newest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips now fitted into the redesigned MacBook Pros, the next step would likely be to bring them into the iMac desktops. The redesigned M1-powered iMac launched last year has proven to be in high demand thanks to the surge in global demand for reliable workstations for work-from-home needs. Any improvements to the desktop’s processing power will likely drive further demand from those who has yet to make the leap on an upgrade, especially as the rising tide of hybrid working and learning arrangements is proving to be a staying trend even in the post-pandemic era.Services are also expected to play a larger role in Apple’s growth trajectory going forward. About a quarter of Apple’s sales last year were attributable to the services segment. Yet, it only accounted for about 10% of Apple’s consolidated cost of sales, indicating the segment’s generous margins. And Apple’s bottom line will only further benefit from expectations for further growth in demand for Apple services going forward. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. And its recent push for a subscription-based business model across its wide array of existing service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings and pricing options will continue to be a key driver for the segment’s growth, and inadvertently, the company’s fast-expanding margins.Conclusion: AAPL’s Pullback Is a Buy OpportunityAlthough equities are likely to remain volatile in the near term due to uncertainties over the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening agenda, Apple will likely draw a rebound from Thursday’s earnings call. While lost revenues driven by COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions are likely a given, the tech giant is expected to have set a new record for fiscal first quarter sales on strong holiday season demand, nonetheless. Recent observations of easing supply chain constraints across Apple’s suppliers and manufacturing partners also signal improvements to the current year sales outlook, which bolsters investors’ confidence in the stock. And the continued strength in demand for Apple’s products and services will likely maintain the brand’s pricing power to beat any persisting inflation pressures ahead.As discussed in detail in our last coverage on the stock, Apple’s overall valuation prospects remain intact despite the impending rate hiking cycle. Robust global demand for Apple's offerings as discussed in the foregoing analysis are expected to further grow Apple's cheque book, making a strong tailwind against downward valuation pressures stemming from upcoming changes to the macro environment. We believe there's still a massive runway for the stock to grow in both the near and longer term, which makes its recent pullback in price a reasonable buy opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":620,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836359664,"gmtCreate":1629458522458,"gmtModify":1676530047537,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/836359664","repostId":"1172431375","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":338,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898285751,"gmtCreate":1628501086273,"gmtModify":1703507152717,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice ?&nbsp;","listText":"Nice ?&nbsp;","text":"Nice ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898285751","repostId":"2157492988","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2157492988","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1628480467,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2157492988?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-09 11:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Top Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in August","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2157492988","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These three large-cap stocks provide growth and stability.","content":"<p>Investors need large-cap stocks in their portfolios. These proven companies provide the bulk of index returns, as both the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and <b>Nasdaq</b> <b>Composite</b> are weighted by market capitalization. Large cap stocks have also earned their massive sizes due to their histories of exceeding expectations and making patient investors steady returns.</p>\n<p>The trade-off has always been framed as sacrificing growth for the stability large-cap stocks provide. But investors are increasingly rejecting this false narrative as many large-cap tech stocks continue to post above-average growth rates. These three large-cap companies offer the stability of large-cap stocks, with above-average growth potential.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a473d5ba64c80633f42466d051223667\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image Source: Getty Images</p>\n<h2><b>Amazon's \"slowing growth\" narrative is too bearish</b></h2>\n<p><b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made quite a few investors rich on its way to a $1.7 trillion market cap, including its founder Jeff Bezos -- now the second-richest man in the world. If you had invested $10,000 at its market debut in 1997, your stake would be worth more than $20 million today!</p>\n<p>That said, shares of Amazon are trailing the S&amp;P 500 this year, posting a 3% return versus 17% for the index. Despite posting a year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, Amazon missed analyst expectations of a 29% top-line beat. Additionally, the company guided for third-quarter revenue to come in at $109 billion at the midpoint, below consensus estimates of $119 billion.</p>\n<p>After being faulted for having no earnings for years, Amazon smashed earnings per share estimates by 23% despite missing on the top line. Ironically, investors ignored the increased profitability of the business to focus on slowing growth.</p>\n<p>There are reasons for long-term investors to consider this nothing but noise. Pandemic lockdowns boosted demand for e-commerce last year, which made 2021 a difficult year for comparisons. However, Amazon's higher-margin business segments like third-party seller services (38%), AWS (37%), and subscription services (32%) all outperformed analyst expectations.</p>\n<p>However, what's exciting is the company's catch-all other division, which is mostly advertising. During the quarter, revenue attributable to other increased 87% and is now half the size of AWS. Amazon's temporary sell-off has given long-term investors an attractive entry point.</p>\n<h2><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a>'s slowing user-growth isn't an issue</b></h2>\n<p><b>Facebook</b>'s (NASDAQ:FB) Mark Zuckerberg isn't as rich as Bezos, trailing him by an estimated $70 billion, but at 37 he still has a long career ahead of him. Zuckerberg has grown Facebook from an idea to a $1 trillion market cap, and shares are currently 840% higher than their $38 IPO price nine years ago. And there are still long-term drivers drivers ahead for the company.</p>\n<p>Facebook's stock rally was halted in its tracks due to second-quarter earnings, despite growing revenue by 56% and EPS by 101% -- both higher than consensus estimates. Investors were disappointed with the company's commentary on revenue growth in the back half of 2021 and the fact that daily active users in the lucrative U.S. and Canadian markets declined from the prior year's corresponding period.</p>\n<p>Like Amazon, Facebook is seeing a return to normal after the pandemic. Social media usage understandably exploded during the pandemic, and a return to more in-person events was always going to impact the company's engagement.</p>\n<p>Despite the modest yearly decline in daily active users (DAUs) (1.5%), the company still has 195 million people across the U.S. and Canada logging into a Facebook product daily, and can monetize users by raising costs per ad, like it did this quarter.</p>\n<p>Zuckerberg is now focused on his most audacious plans yet -- the metaverse. The company acquired virtual reality company Oculus in 2014, and plans to use its headsets to create an entirely new virtual world for users. The potential upside could be bigger than anything it's done yet.</p>\n<h2><b>Apple is going from strength to strength</b></h2>\n<p>By now, you might have identified a theme in the above stocks, as all are mega-cap tech companies that sold off after earnings. Against that backdrop, <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a natural fit, as shares moderately sold off after the company reported fiscal third-quarter earnings. Although its market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, the company continues to have growth drivers.</p>\n<p>Despite concerns that the iPhone market was saturated, Apple grew revenue attributable to the device 50% over the prior year and boosted total revenue higher by 36%. Although Apple easily topped analyst expectations for revenue and earnings, investors reacted negatively to commentary from CEO Tim Cook that chip shortages could impact iPhone and iPad sales in the current quarter.</p>\n<p>While shortages are never ideal, in the short term this is an example of a \"good problem.\" Demand outstripping supply means your product is coveted, and it's unlikely many iPhone users will step out of its ecosystem to buy an Android.

These proven companies provide the bulk of index returns, as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are weighted by market capitalization. Large cap stocks have also earned their massive sizes due to their histories of exceeding expectations and making patient investors steady returns.\nThe trade-off has always been framed as sacrificing growth for the stability large-cap stocks provide. But investors are increasingly rejecting this false narrative as many large-cap tech stocks continue to post above-average growth rates. These three large-cap companies offer the stability of large-cap stocks, with above-average growth potential.\nImage Source: Getty Images\nAmazon's \"slowing growth\" narrative is too bearish\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made quite a few investors rich on its way to a $1.7 trillion market cap, including its founder Jeff Bezos -- now the second-richest man in the world. If you had invested $10,000 at its market debut in 1997, your stake would be worth more than $20 million today!\nThat said, shares of Amazon are trailing the S&P 500 this year, posting a 3% return versus 17% for the index. Despite posting a year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, Amazon missed analyst expectations of a 29% top-line beat. Additionally, the company guided for third-quarter revenue to come in at $109 billion at the midpoint, below consensus estimates of $119 billion.\nAfter being faulted for having no earnings for years, Amazon smashed earnings per share estimates by 23% despite missing on the top line. Ironically, investors ignored the increased profitability of the business to focus on slowing growth.\nThere are reasons for long-term investors to consider this nothing but noise. Pandemic lockdowns boosted demand for e-commerce last year, which made 2021 a difficult year for comparisons. However, Amazon's higher-margin business segments like third-party seller services (38%), AWS (37%), and subscription services (32%) all outperformed analyst expectations.\nHowever, what's exciting is the company's catch-all other division, which is mostly advertising. During the quarter, revenue attributable to other increased 87% and is now half the size of AWS. Amazon's temporary sell-off has given long-term investors an attractive entry point.\nFacebook's slowing user-growth isn't an issue\nFacebook's (NASDAQ:FB) Mark Zuckerberg isn't as rich as Bezos, trailing him by an estimated $70 billion, but at 37 he still has a long career ahead of him. Zuckerberg has grown Facebook from an idea to a $1 trillion market cap, and shares are currently 840% higher than their $38 IPO price nine years ago. And there are still long-term drivers drivers ahead for the company.\nFacebook's stock rally was halted in its tracks due to second-quarter earnings, despite growing revenue by 56% and EPS by 101% -- both higher than consensus estimates. Investors were disappointed with the company's commentary on revenue growth in the back half of 2021 and the fact that daily active users in the lucrative U.S. and Canadian markets declined from the prior year's corresponding period.\nLike Amazon, Facebook is seeing a return to normal after the pandemic. Social media usage understandably exploded during the pandemic, and a return to more in-person events was always going to impact the company's engagement.\nDespite the modest yearly decline in daily active users (DAUs) (1.5%), the company still has 195 million people across the U.S. and Canada logging into a Facebook product daily, and can monetize users by raising costs per ad, like it did this quarter.\nZuckerberg is now focused on his most audacious plans yet -- the metaverse. The company acquired virtual reality company Oculus in 2014, and plans to use its headsets to create an entirely new virtual world for users. The potential upside could be bigger than anything it's done yet.\nApple is going from strength to strength\nBy now, you might have identified a theme in the above stocks, as all are mega-cap tech companies that sold off after earnings. Against that backdrop, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a natural fit, as shares moderately sold off after the company reported fiscal third-quarter earnings. Although its market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, the company continues to have growth drivers.\nDespite concerns that the iPhone market was saturated, Apple grew revenue attributable to the device 50% over the prior year and boosted total revenue higher by 36%. Although Apple easily topped analyst expectations for revenue and earnings, investors reacted negatively to commentary from CEO Tim Cook that chip shortages could impact iPhone and iPad sales in the current quarter.\nWhile shortages are never ideal, in the short term this is an example of a \"good problem.\" Demand outstripping supply means your product is coveted, and it's unlikely many iPhone users will step out of its ecosystem to buy an Android. In fact, it's this sticky user base that will power Apple's next phase of growth, as Apple has been aggressive at monetizing its installed base with services and recurring subscription-based revenue.\nRevenue attributable to services grew 33% over the prior year, an acceleration from the 27% growth rate the prior quarter. During the earnings call, Cook noted the company has nearly 700 million subscribers, a 27% increase from the prior year. Ignore the short-term chip bottleneck, Apple has many growth levers to pull going forward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":612,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898285078,"gmtCreate":1628500999294,"gmtModify":1703507151065,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898285078","repostId":"1162909436","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1162909436","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628463995,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1162909436?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-09 07:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney, AMC, Coinbase, Airbnb, BioNTech, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1162909436","media":"Barron's","summary":"The bulk of second-quarter earnings season is in the rearview mirror, but several notable reports re","content":"<p>The bulk of second-quarter earnings season is in the rearview mirror,&nbsp;but several notable reports remain.&nbsp;AMC Entertainment Holdings,&nbsp;BioNTech, and&nbsp;Dish Network&nbsp;will be Monday’s highlights.&nbsp;Coinbase&nbsp;Global and&nbsp;Syscogo on Tuesday.

But Amazon ... and some of last year's winners are taking some of the air out of the market today,\" said Jake Dollarhide, chief executive officer of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma. \"This market has been driven by big tech and when tech does well, the market seems to go right along with it, and when it doesn't,\" it falls.\nData on Friday showed U.S. consumer spending rose more than expected in June, although annual inflation accelerated further above the Federal Reserve's 2% target.\nUnofficially, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 146.36 points, or 0.42%, to 34,938.17, the S&P 500 lost 23.58 points, or 0.53%, to 4,395.57 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 101.51 points, or 0.69%, to 14,676.76.\nStrong earnings and the continued rebound in the U.S. economy have helped to support stocks this month, but the rapid spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus and rising inflation have been concerns.\n\"There are still some distant jitters, whispers about the Delta variant, about cases rising, and I think some underlying worries about a slowdown of the reopenings and possible reversal,\" Dollarhide said.\nAlso on the earnings front, Pampers maker Procter & Gamble Co rose as it forecast higher core earnings for this year, and U.S.-listed shares of Canada's Restaurant Brands International Inc jumped after the Burger King owner beat estimates for quarterly profit.\nPinterest Inc, however, plunged after saying U.S. user growth was decelerating as people who used the platform for crafts and DIY projects during the height of the pandemic were stepping out more.\nCaterpillar Inc shares also fell, even though the company posted a rise in second-quarter adjusted profit on the back of a recovery in global economic activity.\nResults on the quarter overall have been much stronger than expected, with about 89% of the reports beating analysts' estimates on earnings, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. Earnings are now expected to have climbed 89.8% in the second quarter versus forecasts of 65.4% at the start of July.

But the stock, alongside the broader market, has since come to a bust with declines of more than 15%.</p><p>With inflation running its hottest course in four decades, the Federal Reserve has showed signs ofamped-up urgency in paring pandemic-era stimulus and pivoting toward a hawkish stance on monetary policy tightening. The impending rate hike cycle that is expected to begin in March has stirred investors’ concern over potential erosion of value on future gains and stalled growth due to rising costs of capital. This has led to a broad market sell-off in recent weeks, especially for high-growth stocks, as investors rotated out of risky assets to safer investments like Treasuries. As benchmark Treasury yield surpassed 1.8% last week in anticipation of the Fed’s plans to begin the rate hiking cycle soon to quell runaway inflation, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 was pushed into correction territory after declining more than 10% from its November closing record. A disappointing outlook released by Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) last week also has further fuelled investor angst, as the market continues on a freefall despite the brief mid-day rebound observed on Monday’s session.</p><p>Apple stock is now standing in a unique position in terms of timing, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to give an update on monetary policy decision on Wednesday and the tech giant’s corporate earnings release on Thursday.

On the other hand, Apple’s results and outlook to be released on the following day could come in strong and save the day by reversing the dire sentiment over the technology sector.</p><p>While some are bracing for an aggressive dose of monetary policy tightening with an initial rate hike of up to 50 bps in March to rein in inflation, the Fed will likely tread lightly over the matter. Despite historical inflation, it&#39;s likely the Fed is “acutely aware of the risk around getting too aggressive” and making a policy mistake that could be detrimental to the economy. As for Apple, the tech giant is expected to deliver an update that will likely encompass strong holiday season sales and robust demand for its products and services, despite protracted supply chain constraints being the near-term overhang.</p><p>As discussed in our previous coverage, Apple remains a top hedge against mounting macro headwinds like inflation and rate hikes. With strong cash flows, robust earnings and revenue growth, and expanding margins through scale and pricing power, the performance of Apple’s underlying business is really as good as it gets when it comes to resistance against inflation and tightening monetary policy. The stock’s latest pullback also puts its current trading multiples at a small discount compared to those during last year’s February tech stock sell-off.

We have done some field work over the holidays and earlier this month by going to Apple stores to gauge how sales have performed during the December quarter. Based on discussions with sales representatives, this is what we have gathered:</p><ul><li>Black Friday: Apple has opted for gift card rebates over traditional discounts on sticker prices offered by authorized retailers during the Black Friday shopping event. Based on discussions with in-store employees, the strategy has done a good job in retaining sales from customers who would have otherwise left the store empty handed due to lack of inventory on products they had originally intended to buy. For instance, bundle rebates on lower-priced in-stock items like the AirPods and AirTags have garnered strong traction during the annual shopping event. In our view, the gift card rebate has not only proven to be a prudent strategy in retaining customer sales despite lacking inventory, but also a good way to ensure additional inflow of future revenues instead of one-off discounts for customers that could be lost to competitors down the road.</li><li>Boxing Day: Visited Apple stores in North America actually did not offer any Boxing Day discounts, but demand for products remained robust. Many customers came in looking for the new iPhone 13 and iPads, but were forced to leave empty-handed due to severely limited inventory levels. Most had opted for online orders, which had long wait times, but that has not deterred them from making the purchase. This implies stickiness of demand for Apple’s suite of products, as well as the effectiveness of Apple’s continued commitment to product upgrades and innovations.</li><li>Today: Visited stores said they have quickly sold out of stock received on the all-new MacBook Pros, which run on the M1 Pro/M1 Pro Max chips. However, customer demand remains robust with many turning to online orders despite a three-week minimum wait time. Many stores are also out of all models of the iPads. On the iPhone front, some stores have indicated they had just received shipment for what was supposed to be December stock. Many salespersons we have spoken to believe sales would have been much better had the iPhone 13 shipments arrived in December as intended because that was pretty much what everyone was asking for during the holiday season. On the downside, this implies Apple has certainly remained impacted from supply chain bottlenecks during the holiday season. But on the upside, the iPhone 13 clearly remains a dominant player in the smartphone, and 5G-enabled devices, market.</li></ul><p>Supply chain constraints are clearly still a theme for Apple. And it seemed to have been accentuated over the December-quarter – its best sales quarter of the year – when most wanted to get their hands on the most advanced mobile and computing devices, and complementing accessories and gadgets. Yet, the company continues to be prudent in salvaging sales through strategies like gift card rebates to abate the impact of lost sales from supply chain disruptions, which we consider a prudent move to ensure demand does not spill over to competitors. Consumer willingness to endure long wait times through online orders are also testament to continued strength in demand for Apple’s products.</p><p>A high-level conclusion based on the information gathered from stores visited would imply the company has likely endured much more than $6 billion in lost revenues due to ongoing COVID- and supply-chain-related impacts to business during the December-quarter. However, demand definitely remains robust, which underscores the tech giant’s continued dominance across the market segments in which it operates in. And the company’s management team has clearly done a good job in ensuring demand remains in their pockets despite the current shortfall in supply. These, together, are all positive signs that the company’s valuation prospects remain intact.</p><p><b>Easing Supply Chain Constraints</b></p><p>On the supply front, supply chain bottlenecks are expected to ease over the course of the current year, which will help the stock defy related pressures as well as those from the recent sell-off on rate hike concerns. Following Microsoft’s most recent earnings call Tuesday, the stock saw a steep rebound following announcement of a strong outlook on cloud-computing business growth. And a similar trend should be in order for Apple as well, considering expectations for a positive change in management’s sentiment towards the current supply chain situation which would imply a strong performance outlook for the year.</p><p>The expectation is further corroborated by recent information released by Apple’s key supply chain partners, including Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN) and Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTCPK:HNHAF). Texas Instruments, the world’s largest producer and supplier of analog and embedded processing chips, and a key supplier of display parts to Apple, has provided a stronger-than-expected sales and profit forecast during Tuesday’s earnings call. The semiconductor giant also reported slight improvements to inventory levels, albeit still about 40% lower than normal, as well as lower volumes of expedited order requests. These items, together, suggest that the ongoing chip supply shortage may be finally starting to ease. The expected trend is further corroborated by recent announcements from Hon Hai Precision Industry, the key assembler of Apple’s iPhones. Hon Hai’s Chairman Young Liu is predicting “unprecedented performance in the first quarter” that will surpass historical output levels. The global leader in contracted consumer electronics manufacturing is gearing up to ensure adequate levels of inventory for customers this quarter, including Apple, to prevent further unravelling of supply chain disruptions.</p><p>While Apple’s fiscal second quarter has historically experienced slower sales compared to the fiscal first quarter due to seasonality, recent improvements to supply chain will likely drive a boost in sales. Paired with in-store observations of replenished iPhone stock and the expectation for returning customers looking to cash in their gift card rebates received over the holidays, a stronger-than-expected outlook for the year is likely in order.</p><p><b>Continued Demand Buoyed by an Ever-Improving Product Line-Up</b></p><p>The iPhone 13 remains the dominant 5G-enabled mobile device on the market. It was the most sought-after product during the holiday season, and remains so today even as inventories begin to return to normal levels. Some regions are reporting wait times of up to a full week for online iPhone 13 orders to arrive due to the ongoing clash between robust demand and squeezed supply. While Apple is in process of restoring balance across its supply of the iPhone 13, its core revenue driver among other products, it is also continuously working on improving its product roadmap.</p><p>This includes the highly anticipated roll-out of the budget-friendly 5G-enabled iPhone SE, which is expected for later this year. The current iPhone SE only supports up to 4G LTE, and is still running on the 2019 A13 chips, while the newest generation of iPhones have already moved on to the A15 Bionic chips which promise much faster speeds. Although Apple has not yet released any official statement on the potentially newest addition to the iPhone family, it would only make sense for an upgrade on the iPhone SE with 5G and new processors to ensure its performance is caught up to current demands. As mentioned in our previous coverage, iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. And the launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE would better equip Apple to attract switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users” and further its market share in the smartphones category. It would also help Apple maintain its lead in the 5G competition against rival Samsung, which has recently launched its own budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G to capitalize on rising opportunities stemming from non-premium upgrades.</p><p>The global push for 5G adoption and Apple’s aging installed base of iPhones is also expected to drive the segment into one of the largest multi-year upgrade cycles ahead. Reputable wireless carriers have been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices, including the iPhone 12/13, in recent months with enticing offers in hopes of boosting their 5G network sign-ups to recoup their years of investments into the rollout of next-generation wireless service. And with more than a quarter of Apple’s active iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X), Apple is looking to benefit from a multi-year wave of upgrade purchases as users of the older iPhones look to convert to newer models that are compatible with the latest technology.</p><p>As mentioned in earlier sections, Macs and iPads also appear to be rare commodities right now due to stickier-than-expected demand that have carried over from the peak of the pandemic. Robust holiday season demand for iPads, iMacs and MacBooks observed in store and online have driven the segment’s shipments up by 9% compared to the prior year,beating performance of all five best-selling PC vendors. While the milestone is expected to be a plus for fiscal first quarter earnings to be released later this week, the anticipated launch of additional product upgrades across Apple’s computing devices segment is what will drive further acceleration in growth for the current year and beyond:</p><ul><li>iPad Pro: The last time the iPad Pro had a full-on makeover was in 2018, which made its debut about a year and a half after the preceding model. Taking that for a proxy, a completely redesigned iPad Pro should be in the books for launch later this year, especially as the last two models were essentially “new chip and camera upgrades.” In addition to an exterior makeover that would likely feature a glass back, the next-generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the newest M2 chip and integrated wireless charging to match capabilities of the iPhone.</li><li>iMac: With the newest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips now fitted into the redesigned MacBook Pros, the next step would likely be to bring them into the iMac desktops. The redesigned M1-powered iMac launched last year has proven to be in high demand thanks to the surge in global demand for reliable workstations for work-from-home needs. Any improvements to the desktop’s processing power will likely drive further demand from those who has yet to make the leap on an upgrade, especially as the rising tide of hybrid working and learning arrangements is proving to be a staying trend even in the post-pandemic era.</li></ul><p>Services are also expected to play a larger role in Apple’s growth trajectory going forward. About a quarter of Apple’s sales last year were attributable to the services segment. Yet, it only accounted for about 10% of Apple’s consolidated cost of sales, indicating the segment’s generous margins. And Apple’s bottom line will only further benefit from expectations for further growth in demand for Apple services going forward. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. And its recent push for a subscription-based business model across its wide array of existing service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings and pricing options will continue to be a key driver for the segment’s growth, and inadvertently, the company’s fast-expanding margins.</p><p><b>Conclusion: AAPL’s Pullback Is a Buy Opportunity</b></p><p>Although equities are likely to remain volatile in the near term due to uncertainties over the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening agenda, Apple will likely draw a rebound from Thursday’s earnings call. While lost revenues driven by COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions are likely a given, the tech giant is expected to have set a new record for fiscal first quarter sales on strong holiday season demand, nonetheless. Recent observations of easing supply chain constraints across Apple’s suppliers and manufacturing partners also signal improvements to the current year sales outlook, which bolsters investors’ confidence in the stock. And the continued strength in demand for Apple’s products and services will likely maintain the brand’s pricing power to beat any persisting inflation pressures ahead.</p><p>As discussed in detail in our last coverage on the stock, Apple’s overall valuation prospects remain intact despite the impending rate hiking cycle. Robust global demand for Apple&#39;s offerings as discussed in the foregoing analysis are expected to further grow Apple&#39;s cheque book, making a strong tailwind against downward valuation pressures stemming from upcoming changes to the macro environment. We believe there&#39;s still a massive runway for the stock to grow in both the near and longer term, which makes its recent pullback in price a reasonable buy opportunity.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Now A Good Time To Buy Or Sell Apple Stock?</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\">\nIs Now A Good Time To Buy Or Sell Apple Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-27 13:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple's value has declined by more than 10% since its brief stint in the $3 trillion market cap territory earlier in the year.The stock is also trading at about 28x forward earnings, which is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4481785-now-good-time-buy-sell-apple-stock","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1194933395","content_text":"SummaryApple's value has declined by more than 10% since its brief stint in the $3 trillion market cap territory earlier in the year.The stock is also trading at about 28x forward earnings, which is slightly discounted from a year ago during the February tech stock selloff.Considering hints of easing supply chain constraints across Apple's key suppliers and manufacturing partners, the company is likely looking at a better-than-expected growth outlook for the year.This will likely assuage growing investors' angst and \"change the tide for the current risk-off environment in tech\" which has pressured the Apple stock's performance.Apple's upcoming earnings call is expected to drive a rebound similar to Microsoft's after the latter reported a reassuring growth outlook.

Texas Instruments, the world’s largest producer and supplier of analog and embedded processing chips, and a key supplier of display parts to Apple, has provided a stronger-than-expected sales and profit forecast during Tuesday’s earnings call. The semiconductor giant also reported slight improvements to inventory levels, albeit still about 40% lower than normal, as well as lower volumes of expedited order requests. These items, together, suggest that the ongoing chip supply shortage may be finally starting to ease. The expected trend is further corroborated by recent announcements from Hon Hai Precision Industry, the key assembler of Apple’s iPhones. Hon Hai’s Chairman Young Liu is predicting “unprecedented performance in the first quarter” that will surpass historical output levels. The global leader in contracted consumer electronics manufacturing is gearing up to ensure adequate levels of inventory for customers this quarter, including Apple, to prevent further unravelling of supply chain disruptions.While Apple’s fiscal second quarter has historically experienced slower sales compared to the fiscal first quarter due to seasonality, recent improvements to supply chain will likely drive a boost in sales. Paired with in-store observations of replenished iPhone stock and the expectation for returning customers looking to cash in their gift card rebates received over the holidays, a stronger-than-expected outlook for the year is likely in order.Continued Demand Buoyed by an Ever-Improving Product Line-UpThe iPhone 13 remains the dominant 5G-enabled mobile device on the market. It was the most sought-after product during the holiday season, and remains so today even as inventories begin to return to normal levels. Some regions are reporting wait times of up to a full week for online iPhone 13 orders to arrive due to the ongoing clash between robust demand and squeezed supply. While Apple is in process of restoring balance across its supply of the iPhone 13, its core revenue driver among other products, it is also continuously working on improving its product roadmap.This includes the highly anticipated roll-out of the budget-friendly 5G-enabled iPhone SE, which is expected for later this year. The current iPhone SE only supports up to 4G LTE, and is still running on the 2019 A13 chips, while the newest generation of iPhones have already moved on to the A15 Bionic chips which promise much faster speeds. Although Apple has not yet released any official statement on the potentially newest addition to the iPhone family, it would only make sense for an upgrade on the iPhone SE with 5G and new processors to ensure its performance is caught up to current demands. As mentioned in our previous coverage, iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. And the launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE would better equip Apple to attract switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users” and further its market share in the smartphones category. It would also help Apple maintain its lead in the 5G competition against rival Samsung, which has recently launched its own budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G to capitalize on rising opportunities stemming from non-premium upgrades.The global push for 5G adoption and Apple’s aging installed base of iPhones is also expected to drive the segment into one of the largest multi-year upgrade cycles ahead. Reputable wireless carriers have been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices, including the iPhone 12/13, in recent months with enticing offers in hopes of boosting their 5G network sign-ups to recoup their years of investments into the rollout of next-generation wireless service. And with more than a quarter of Apple’s active iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X), Apple is looking to benefit from a multi-year wave of upgrade purchases as users of the older iPhones look to convert to newer models that are compatible with the latest technology.As mentioned in earlier sections, Macs and iPads also appear to be rare commodities right now due to stickier-than-expected demand that have carried over from the peak of the pandemic. Robust holiday season demand for iPads, iMacs and MacBooks observed in store and online have driven the segment’s shipments up by 9% compared to the prior year,beating performance of all five best-selling PC vendors. While the milestone is expected to be a plus for fiscal first quarter earnings to be released later this week, the anticipated launch of additional product upgrades across Apple’s computing devices segment is what will drive further acceleration in growth for the current year and beyond:iPad Pro: The last time the iPad Pro had a full-on makeover was in 2018, which made its debut about a year and a half after the preceding model. Taking that for a proxy, a completely redesigned iPad Pro should be in the books for launch later this year, especially as the last two models were essentially “new chip and camera upgrades.” In addition to an exterior makeover that would likely feature a glass back, the next-generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with the newest M2 chip and integrated wireless charging to match capabilities of the iPhone.iMac: With the newest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips now fitted into the redesigned MacBook Pros, the next step would likely be to bring them into the iMac desktops. The redesigned M1-powered iMac launched last year has proven to be in high demand thanks to the surge in global demand for reliable workstations for work-from-home needs. Any improvements to the desktop’s processing power will likely drive further demand from those who has yet to make the leap on an upgrade, especially as the rising tide of hybrid working and learning arrangements is proving to be a staying trend even in the post-pandemic era.Services are also expected to play a larger role in Apple’s growth trajectory going forward. About a quarter of Apple’s sales last year were attributable to the services segment. Yet, it only accounted for about 10% of Apple’s consolidated cost of sales, indicating the segment’s generous margins. And Apple’s bottom line will only further benefit from expectations for further growth in demand for Apple services going forward. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. And its recent push for a subscription-based business model across its wide array of existing service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings and pricing options will continue to be a key driver for the segment’s growth, and inadvertently, the company’s fast-expanding margins.Conclusion: AAPL’s Pullback Is a Buy OpportunityAlthough equities are likely to remain volatile in the near term due to uncertainties over the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s monetary policy tightening agenda, Apple will likely draw a rebound from Thursday’s earnings call. While lost revenues driven by COVID- and supply-chain-related disruptions are likely a given, the tech giant is expected to have set a new record for fiscal first quarter sales on strong holiday season demand, nonetheless. Recent observations of easing supply chain constraints across Apple’s suppliers and manufacturing partners also signal improvements to the current year sales outlook, which bolsters investors’ confidence in the stock. And the continued strength in demand for Apple’s products and services will likely maintain the brand’s pricing power to beat any persisting inflation pressures ahead.As discussed in detail in our last coverage on the stock, Apple’s overall valuation prospects remain intact despite the impending rate hiking cycle. Robust global demand for Apple's offerings as discussed in the foregoing analysis are expected to further grow Apple's cheque book, making a strong tailwind against downward valuation pressures stemming from upcoming changes to the macro environment. We believe there's still a massive runway for the stock to grow in both the near and longer term, which makes its recent pullback in price a reasonable buy opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":620,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":893122011,"gmtCreate":1628248572433,"gmtModify":1703503918371,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice ?&nbsp;","listText":"Nice ?&nbsp;","text":"Nice ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/893122011","repostId":"1178143364","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178143364","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1628244202,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178143364?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-06 18:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Other SVOD Services Are Seeing Customers Spend More Now Than During Pandemic: Survey","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178143364","media":"Benzinga","summary":"U.S. customers are spending more time and money streaming their favorite shows than they did six mon","content":"<p>U.S. customers are spending more time and money streaming their favorite shows than they did six months ago, shows the latest J.D.

The Fed seems to be favoring its full employment mandate more than its price stability mandate.”\n“Accordingly, the upcoming Fed meeting could be impactful,” Carter said.\nBenchmark Treasury yields eased after the bid at the largest-ever TIPS auction touched a record low, pressuring rate sensitive banks.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 25.35 points, or 0.07%, to 34,823.35, the S&P 500 gained 8.79 points, or 0.20%, to 4,367.48 and the Nasdaq Composite added 52.64 points, or 0.36%, to 14,684.60.\nOf the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, tech was shining brightest, gaining 0.7%. Energy stocks suffered the largest percentage drop.\nThe second-quarter reporting season barreled ahead at full-throttle, with 104 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 88% have beaten consensus estimates, according to Refinitiv.\nDrugmaker Biogen Inc gained 1.1% after hiking its full-year revenue guidance, while Domino’s Pizza Inc surged 14.6% to an all-time high on the heels of its quarterly report.\nSouthwest Airlines Co posted a bigger-than-expected quarterly loss, sending its stock down 3.5%, and American Airlines Group Inc dipped 1.1% even after reporting a quarterly profit.\nThe S&P 1500 Airlines index ended the session off 1.7%.\nShares of Texas Instruments Inc slid 5.3% after its current-quarter revenue forecast cast concerns as to whether the company will be able to meet spiking demand in the face of a global semiconductor shortage.\nThe Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index ended the session down 0.9%.\nChipmaker Intel Corp slipped more than 1% in extended trading after the chipmaker posted results and raised its annual revenue forecast.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.82-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.90-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 39 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 70 new highs and 54 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 8.25 billion shares, compared with the 10.12 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9092067610,"gmtCreate":1644494564155,"gmtModify":1676533933090,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9092067610","repostId":"1152609790","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1152609790","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1644492376,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1152609790?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-10 19:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Sells Yet Another $12M In Twitter Shares Ahead Of Social Media Company's Q4 Earnings Report","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1152609790","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Wednesday further lowered its exposure in Twitter Inc, ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82005a5f50f3ea6aaf04ac643addce0b\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"567\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><b>Cathie Wood</b>-led Ark <b>Investment Management</b> on Wednesday further lowered its exposure in <b>Twitter Inc,</b> a day before the microblogging company is scheduled to report its financial results for the latest quarter.</p><p>Ark Invest sold 315,130 shares — estimated to be worth $11.9 million — in the San Francisco, California-based company.</p><p>Twitter stock closed 5.11% higher at $37.8 a share on Wednesday.

It's not a shopping mall or residential real estate firm, however, and focuses on \"out of home leisure and recreation experiences,\" including movie theaters, beach resorts and ski slopes across more than 40 states. Obviously, with the overall easing of coronavirus restrictions, EPR has been seeing a huge recovery to its business compared with its performance last summer in the throes of lockdowns.

Shares have since rebounded, and the majorstock market indexesall continue to flirt with new all-time highs, but it's worth noting that the big gains of the last year or two seem much harder to come by. Specifically, the Dow Jones is more or less flat from where it was at the start of May.\nThat hints that gains could be tougher to score in the months ahead -- and could be a sign that income-oriented dividend stocks may provide not just stability but also a nice flow of cash to ensure your nest egg keeps growing.\nIf you're interested individend stocksright now, here are five that look particularly strong at the start of August:\n\nEPR Properties (ticker:EPR)\nNavient Corp. (NAVI)\nPfizer Inc. (PFE)\nVedanta Ltd. (VEDL)\nVistra Corp. (VST)\n\n[Sign up for stock news with our Invested newsletter.]\nEPR Properties (EPR)\nDividend yield:5.7%\nEPR is a leading \"net lease\" real estate investment trust, meaning it demands clients pay for ancillary expenses like maintenance or insurance on the properties while it just cashes the rent check. It's not a shopping mall or residential real estate firm, however, and focuses on \"out of home leisure and recreation experiences,\" including movie theaters, beach resorts and ski slopes across more than 40 states. Obviously, with the overall easing of coronavirus restrictions, EPR has been seeing a huge recovery to its business compared with its performance last summer in the throes of lockdowns. Shares are up about 60% year to date, and EPR just resumed a 25 cent quarterly dividend in July. That bodes well both for future performance and future dividends.\nNavient Corp. (NAVI)\nDividend yield:3.2%\nStudent loan provider Navient was not exactly a popular stock a year or two ago amid political discussions ofstudent debtforgiveness, which were followed closely by fears of an economic downturn caused by coronavirus disruptions that would upset the payments of young graduates.

While <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a> inched 1.3% higher for the week, the others were all down. Amazongot the worst reception; its stock fell 7.6% on Friday. With all five hovering near all-time highs, investors are taking profits, worried that growth rates are going to slow from here. Beneath the surface, the concerns are well founded. Here are the key takeaways from Big Tech’s huge earnings:</p>\n<p><b>The pandemic boom is over.</b>That’s not to say the pandemic itself is over—the Delta variant is wreaking havoc—but Americans have already made changes in their behavior, and those adjustments are having a major impact on the tech giants.</p>\n<p>It starts with e-commerce. Amazon Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said on the company’s earnings call that starting in mid-May, growth in e-commerce sales dropped into the midteens from the 30%-to-40% range. People are getting vaccines and leaving the house to buy things that just a few months ago they would have bought online. They’re also shifting some disposable income from online shopping to travel, restaurants, and even events. Olsavsky sees continued tough comparisons for Amazon—and midteens growth rates—for the next few quarters.</p>\n<p>Applebeat expectations in all of its segments, but growth is slowing there, too. Mac sales were up 16% in the June quarter, down from 70% growth three months earlier. iPad sales were up 12%, versus 79% in the March period. This is all still better than before the pandemic, but it suggests that the furious shopping spree for home offices and virtual schooling is coming to an end.Logitech(LOGI), which makes PC peripherals like mice and webcams, had 66% revenue growth in the June quarter, but it sees flat revenue for its fiscal year ending in March 2022.</p>\n<p><b>Component shortages continue.</b>The market’s biggest issue with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>’s quarter was its warning that the chip supply shortage has worsened since the end of June—and that the issue will affect the availability of iPads and, even worse, iPhones. In September, Apple is expected torelease the iPhone 13—and there’s a risk that Apple might not be able to meet demand.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QCOM\">Qualcomm</a>(QCOM) this past week warned that the chip shortage could drag into 2022. This could take a while to fix.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook said on the company’s earnings call that shipping costs are higher, too. I saw evidence of that from my seat at a San Francisco Giants game this past week. Looking past McCovey Cove toward San Francisco <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BYBK\">Bay</a>, there were at least a dozen container ships lined up to get into the Port of Oakland, which saw an 11% increase in cargo volume in the first half. The port is backed up in part due to a shortage of dockworkers. Freight rates are at record levels, and the holiday merchandising season is fast approaching, adding to demand for freight capacity.</p>\n<p><b>Online advertising is blazing hot.</b>On a brighter note for investors, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOG\">Alphabet</a>’sad business grew 68% in the latest quarter, including an 84% jump in advertising at YouTube. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a>’sad business grew 56%, driven by a 47% year-over-year increase in ad pricing. Amazon’s “other” revenue category, mostly ads, was up 87%, to $7.9 billion, nearly $1 billion better than Wall Street estimates. Apple doesn’t break out advertising, but ad strength contributed to the 33% growth in the company’s services business. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a> saw a53% jump in search ads(remember Bing?) and a 97% jump in advertising at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LNKD\">LinkedIn</a>. It all stems from the reopening of the economy. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a> told analysts that the biggest driver of ad growth was retail, with strong contributions from travel, financial services, and media and entertainment. People are shopping, eating out, and going on vacation, and that’s driving ads.</p>\n<p><b>Cloud adoption is accelerating.</b>The digital transformation trend that everyone in enterprise computing talks about is the real deal. For Amazon, the slowdown in e-commerce growth overshadowed a fantastic quarter for its Amazon Web Services cloud unit, which grew 37%—accelerating from 32% in the March quarter— to $14.8 billion. That was $500 million better than estimates. Microsoft Azure revenue was up 51%, beating the Wall Street consensus by nine percentage points. Alphabet posted 54% growth in its Google Cloud business, accelerating from 46% growth in the March quarter. Google Cloud is rapidly approaching a $20 billion annual revenue run rate. Give it a cloud-like sales multiple of 20 times and the business is worth $400 billion, constituting more than 20% of Alphabet’s current market value.</p>\n<p><b>The wild card.</b>Regulators and legislators scrutinizing Big Tech are surely looking at the latest results and finding a new sense of purpose. The big are getting bigger. And the regulatory risks are getting riskier.</p>","source":"lsy1610680873436","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>Big Tech Earnings Sparkled.

For Amazon, the slowdown in e-commerce growth overshadowed a fantastic quarter for its Amazon Web Services cloud unit, which grew 37%—accelerating from 32% in the March quarter— to $14.8 billion. That was $500 million better than estimates. Microsoft Azure revenue was up 51%, beating the Wall Street consensus by nine percentage points. Alphabet posted 54% growth in its Google Cloud business, accelerating from 46% growth in the March quarter. Google Cloud is rapidly approaching a $20 billion annual revenue run rate. Give it a cloud-like sales multiple of 20 times and the business is worth $400 billion, constituting more than 20% of Alphabet’s current market value.\nThe wild card.Regulators and legislators scrutinizing Big Tech are surely looking at the latest results and finding a new sense of purpose. The big are getting bigger. And the regulatory risks are getting riskier.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898282963,"gmtCreate":1628500928852,"gmtModify":1703507149565,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898282963","repostId":"1190142555","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190142555","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1628497921,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190142555?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-09 16:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microvast shares surged nearly 9% in premarket trading.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190142555","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Heading into a new trading week,Microvast Holdings Inc.,AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and Clover Health Investments Corp. are among the stocks seeing the highest interest on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets forum, as of Sunday night.Microvast’s shares rose more than 11% on Friday, extending gains to a third straight day amid high interest from retail investors after posters on the WSB forum were criticalof Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jones’ bearish price target on the stock.

The stock rose 1% on Thursday, compared with a 0.8% gain for the benchmark index (.TWII).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836359664,"gmtCreate":1629458522458,"gmtModify":1676530047537,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/836359664","repostId":"1172431375","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":338,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":175223940,"gmtCreate":1627036032880,"gmtModify":1703482923948,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/175223940","repostId":"175229575","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":175229575,"gmtCreate":1627035978697,"gmtModify":1703482922780,"author":{"id":"3584090913879250","authorId":"3584090913879250","name":"Todkie","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68110d1283e1fd53c9c0fe6ec6bccb7e","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584090913879250","authorIdStr":"3584090913879250"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Ohhhh no","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Ohhhh no","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$Ohhhh no","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c24dc0abb103cee03da58b97ec2c3cb","width":"1125","height":"1949"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/175229575","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":175674143,"gmtCreate":1627031329682,"gmtModify":1703482830237,"author":{"id":"3586509449938691","authorId":"3586509449938691","name":"Shen84","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586509449938691","authorIdStr":"3586509449938691"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/175674143","repostId":"175616533","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":175616533,"gmtCreate":1627028341222,"gmtModify":1703482743064,"author":{"id":"3582681376084756","authorId":"3582681376084756","name":"招财大佬","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bcde9460cf8656570745fc96642fc92d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582681376084756","authorIdStr":"3582681376084756"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$老虎證券(TIGR)$</a>爛虎=爛貓？","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$老虎證券(TIGR)$</a>爛虎=爛貓？","text":"$老虎證券(TIGR)$爛虎=爛貓？","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad8638b2b9eb327aad0a454bc9a07d3e","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/175616533","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
