The article implies that the risk of myocarditis following inoculation with mRNA-1273 can be more than previously thought and is also higher than <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">Pfizer</a></b>/<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BNTX\">BioNTech SE</a></b>’s mRNA-based vaccine, BNT162b.</p>\n<p>Per the same <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WRE\">Washington</a> Post article, the claims of higher risk of myocarditis, especially for males below the age of 30 or so, following Moderna’s jab are majorly based on data from Canada. The same data suggests that vaccination with mRNA-1273 may increase the risk of incidence of myocarditis by 2.5-fold compared to BNT162b. U.S. health officials are currently reviewing the data as well as data generated in the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBNK\">United</a> States for a possible link to higher risk of heart inflammation. The report stated that the officials believe it is too early to conclude and issue any kind of new or revised warning or recommendation for mRNA-1273.</p>\n<p>We note that Pfizer’s BNT162b is already leading the vaccination race with $11.3 billion sales in the first half of 2021 compared to nearly $6 billion of sales from mRNA-1273. Moreover, the anticipated sales for 2021 for BNT162b and mRNA-1273 stands at $33.5 billion and approximately $19.2 billion, respectively.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, U.S. health officials have decided to start providing booster doses to the country’s citizens beginning in the first week of fall that will start on Sep 20. Amid rising support for booster doses for better protection against the Delta variant, the potential link to higher risk of heart inflammation may hurt demand for Moderna’s mRNA-1273, pushing it further back in the competition. Moreover, a few new COVID-19 vaccines may enter the U.S. markets this year, which will result in increased competition.</p>\n<p>Shares of Moderna fell 5.8% on Aug 19, following the reports on probe for higher risk of heart inflammation. The company’s shares have surged 259.4% so far this year against the industry’s decrease of 0.3%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01ae6084260e85bc39bcd6d72d8d9ae0\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"406\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image Source: Zacks Investment Research</p>\n<p>We note that the CDC concluded earlier in June that there is a “likely association” between mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and increased cases of heart inflammation, including myocarditis and pericarditis, in adolescents and younger adults. Heart inflammation was reported after the first dose of mRNA-1273 and BNT162b in a small proportion of individuals,which increased further following the second dose. However, similar inflammation cases were not reported following vaccination with <b>J&amp;J</b>’s JNJ adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccine.

The article implies that the risk of myocarditis following inoculation with mRNA-1273 can be more than previously thought and is also higher than Pfizer/BioNTech SE’s mRNA-based vaccine, BNT162b.\nPer the same Washington Post article, the claims of higher risk of myocarditis, especially for males below the age of 30 or so, following Moderna’s jab are majorly based on data from Canada. The same data suggests that vaccination with mRNA-1273 may increase the risk of incidence of myocarditis by 2.5-fold compared to BNT162b. U.S. health officials are currently reviewing the data as well as data generated in the United States for a possible link to higher risk of heart inflammation. The report stated that the officials believe it is too early to conclude and issue any kind of new or revised warning or recommendation for mRNA-1273.\nWe note that Pfizer’s BNT162b is already leading the vaccination race with $11.3 billion sales in the first half of 2021 compared to nearly $6 billion of sales from mRNA-1273. Moreover, the anticipated sales for 2021 for BNT162b and mRNA-1273 stands at $33.5 billion and approximately $19.2 billion, respectively.\nMeanwhile, U.S. health officials have decided to start providing booster doses to the country’s citizens beginning in the first week of fall that will start on Sep 20. Amid rising support for booster doses for better protection against the Delta variant, the potential link to higher risk of heart inflammation may hurt demand for Moderna’s mRNA-1273, pushing it further back in the competition. Moreover, a few new COVID-19 vaccines may enter the U.S. markets this year, which will result in increased competition.\nShares of Moderna fell 5.8% on Aug 19, following the reports on probe for higher risk of heart inflammation. The company’s shares have surged 259.4% so far this year against the industry’s decrease of 0.3%.\n\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nWe note that the CDC concluded earlier in June that there is a “likely association” between mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and increased cases of heart inflammation, including myocarditis and pericarditis, in adolescents and younger adults. Heart inflammation was reported after the first dose of mRNA-1273 and BNT162b in a small proportion of individuals,which increased further following the second dose. However, similar inflammation cases were not reported following vaccination with J&J’s JNJ adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccine. Following the investigation, the labels of both mRNA-based vaccines were updated to include a warning label for increased risk of myocarditis.\nMeanwhile, the United States is not the only country to probe various risks with possible links to mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. Earlier this month, the European Medicines Agency initiated an investigation to study three new conditions found in a small proportion of individuals receiving mRNA-based vaccination. The individuals immunized with an mRNA-based vaccine reported that they developed either erythema multiforme (allergic skin reaction), glomerulonephritis (kidney inflammation) and/or nephrotic syndrome (renal disorder).\nModerna, Inc.

And while it may take some time for investors to understandSoFi's competitive advantage and growth runway, we believe that at current levelsSoFi shares are way oversold.</p>\n<p>This article won't focus on a detailed description of the business, but will highlight the most recent financial results. For a deep-dive into the company's business model, opportunities and risks, go visit&nbsp;our previous article&nbsp;on SoFi.</p>\n<p><b>The Numbers</b></p>\n<p>SoFi reported very strong Q2 financial results:</p>\n<p>Adjusted Revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY, way above management's initial guidance of between 58 to 61% growth, and well above analyst expectations. Furthermore, the company had another quarter of positive EBITDA, which reached $11 million for the quarter, up $35 million YoY from negative ($24) million in Q2 2020.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2326005d2400bf2a6257b4b187d2bc8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"284\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>On an annualized basis,SoFi achieved to bring in $852 million in adjusted net revenue and $61 million in adjusted EBITDA, despite some one-time headwinds in the quarter and alongside aggressive investments in the future growth of the company.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dad9c230f84bb4059516cd54c4a45f45\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"283\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>Most importantly, activity onSoFi's platform is accelerating across all areas.SoFi reported the 8th consecutive quarter of accelerating YoY growth for their total members, which reached 2.56 million for the quarter, up from 1.2 million in the Q2 2020 quarter (representing growth of 113%), and up 12% sequentially from Q1.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb7e3b27b52cca163a823c883e4af0a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"304\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>The quarter also showed continued accelerating YoY growth in Products, which were up 123% to reach 3.7 million.SoFi added more than +2 million products on a YoY comparison, representing 123% YoY growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/024d45093cab2fb40cba8ab7d9bd4744\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>Galileo, their financial technology platform, reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter as the company added 42.9 million new accounts to their financial technology offering.</p>\n<p>Galileo now posted greater than 100% YoY growth for the last four quarters for Galileo. The platform is a key cornerstone forSoFi's future growth and the fact that they are growing triple-digits and, for the first time, crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July, shows that the business not only has significant scale already but also has a real competitive advantage as reflected by the YoY growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1b72ef771e256023ab2cc56f48f9a10\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"281\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>Lastly,SoFi's business is diversifying in a significant way. Overall member growth for the business was driven by significant expansion in the Financial Services segment, withSoFi Invest andSoFi Money more than tripling the number of Financial Services segment products, to nearly 2.7 million, up from approximately 783,000 vs. Q2 2020. In the most recent quarter Financial Services segment products were nearly three times the number of Lending Products which shows how strongly the business is diversifying away from its initial lending arm (notwithstanding that loan originations still increased by a very strong 66% YoY). The 3x greater scale supported to drive a 1.7x increase in the number of products that were cross-bought by members already active on the platform in comparison to Q2 2020, as noted by the CEO during the conference call.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd0fb00ddf2b10ee7226b966df927eb7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"271\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p><b>The Number That Spooked Investors</b></p>\n<p>The one thing that let many investors to sell the stock ofSoFi after the earnings report was that the company reported a significant net loss of $165.3 million compared to a still positive net income of $7.8 million in the prior year quarter. However, as the company&nbsp;explained during the conference call, this was largely due to a one-time item in relation to the business combination with Galileo, as well as non-cash items like stock-based compensation (SBC):</p>\n<blockquote>\n We remeasured our valuation allowance during 2020 as a result of the deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with our acquisition of Galileo, which decreased the valuation allowance by $99.8 million. The absence of that tax benefit, together with significant non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and fair value changes in warrants primarily related to the fair market value ofSoFi stock, were the largest contributors to the current period net loss.\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae29dddc9bc00f8fa31eb7cbee8ca3d5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>In addition to management's remarks, investors should take a closer look atSoFi's income statement, where it becomes clearer what drove the net loss. The&nbsp;SEC filing&nbsp;shows that management's cost management is actually very prudent as non-interest expenses, including investments into technology and products, sales and marketing, as well as operating costs only increased by 45%, 48%, 46% respectively which is much lower than the company's +74% revenue growth. Only general and administrative expenses more than tripled during the quarter. Digging deeper into the SEC filing reveals that the big chunk of G&amp;A expenses came from aforementioned $99.8 million in deferred tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of Galileo, and stock-based compensation as a result of being a public company (see items marked below).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d9473db3f6390b5bfb72b27246d0601\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"409\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0113b16a7131123dee0e6ebaf065ebb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"215\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>If you exclude the one-time item of deferred tax liabilities of $99.8 million, and adjust for three months of SBC with around half of the previous six months SBC expense, thenSoFi's net loss would have only been around negative $(20) million for the quarter (note that this is based on the author's rough estimates and should not be regarded as an accurate reflection of the actual numbers).</p>\n<p>With that back-of-the-envelope calculation in mind, we are not particularly worried about the net loss that was reported for the quarter relative to the strong top-line growth thatSoFi reported.SoFi's numbers clearly indicate that the business is accelerating in growth, diversifying its services rapidly, while we see cross-selling activity ramping up within its customer-base which should provide some important efficiency gains in the future in terms of reduced customer acquisition costs and improved margins. This aspect becomes much clearer when we also take a look at the results from the individual business segments and the respective contribution profit metrics:</p>\n<p><b>1) Lending Segment</b>-SoFi generated adjusted net revenue of $172 million, growing 47% YoY, with a contribution profit of $89 million. The increase was largely driven by personal loan originations, which grew by 188% YoY. In addition, contribution profit (marked below) increased by 80% YoY and respective margins improved to 52% compared to a 42% margin in the prior year quarter - and that was alongside an incremental increase of investment into the business of +$15.3 million for the quarter. Margin improvement was driven by operating efficiencies (e.g. more than 50% of personal loans were fully automated vs. less than 30% one year ago) alongside prudent spending in marketing that has brought cost per funded loan down.</p>\n<p>SoFi highlighted in the conference call that growth in this segment was achieved despite noticeable headwinds in the student loans business from the government's CARES-act prolongation, with $859 million in origination volume in the quarter representing less than half of pre-CARES levels.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf0b085e6372cd1774f4feac9ca4e2d0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"289\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c4af0c2068e800edbbe1728761f863b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15729a0e43c025e7ab40d6017ff0f259\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"148\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p><b>2) Financial Services Segment</b>- net revenue for this segment for the 2nd quarter reached $17.0 million vs. $2.4 million in Q2 2020, representing growth of a mind-blowing 602% YoY. With a 6x growth rate there is not much doubt that the business is successfully attracting customers, while making significant progress also in terms of cross-selling and multi-product-adoption, which will be an important aspect in reducing customer acquisition costs and driving higher lifetime value per customer. Another important aspect is that the incremental YoY revenue increase is offsetting the increased costs attributable to the segment, which was a $8.5 million YoY increase in expenses vs. a $14.6 million increase in revenue vs. Q2 2020, resulting in an improved contribution metric where losses decreased by 20% YoY.</p>\n<p>The Financial Services Segment also showed strong product growth across all offerings as total products in this segment grew by 243% YoY.SoFi doesn't rest on its laurels as the company has just launched a new equity capital markets and advisory business in the second quarter, which will be interesting to watch.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0049b49eeb97244d71a3c9e5e580b1bb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"147\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72aecb1a11aaee4636651095b20bd195\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"181\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p><b>3) Technology Platform</b>- this segment primarily reports results fromSoFi's financial technology offering Galileo, which saw total net revenue increase by 138% YoY reaching $45.3 million vs. $19 million in the prior year quarter. Total Galileo accounts reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter. Galileo also just crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July as noted during the&nbsp;conference call.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c567a3c581104d33cb959ebe63c33606\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"148\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>SoFi is aggressively investing to position Galileo for strong future growth, e.g. by moving operations from on-premise to the cloud, while nearly doubling its headcount and expanding into new geographies. Management mentioned that they are nearing completion of building out a new cloud computing environment for Galileo which is supposed to replace the on premises environment, including the preparation of migrating existing clients to the cloud in Q3. While this contributed to a significant increase in expenses and impacted the resulting contribution profit for this segment,SoFi was still able to show YoY growth in contribution profit of 8%. It is important to see that management is pursuing all efforts to continue to accelerate growth in one of their key differentiating business segments, which Galileo clearly represents. What Amazon did for retail or the cloud with pioneering its AWS offering, could be replicated through Galileo as they are on track to position it as the leading financial technology offering and backbone to the global financial technology industry.</p>\n<p><b>Management Guidance</b></p>\n<p>For the third quarter of 2021SoFi's management expects adjusted net revenue of $245 million to $255 million, representing only around 15% growth vs. the prior year quarter, which is markedly lower than the $270.2M&nbsp;average estimate from two analysts. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to come in between negative $(7) million to positive $3 million. The expected top-line growth seems to be quite conservative but has surprised many investors who expected much higher growth rates, especially afterSoFi just reported a +74% growth in the most recent quarter.</p>\n<p>While the guidance was a significant factor contributing to the sell-off inSoFi's shares, we believe that investors shouldn't put too much focus on the headlines of „missed\" guidance. The fact thatSoFi is sticking to its initial guidance of adjusted net revenue of $980 million and adjusted EBITDA of positive $27 million is the most important take-away.<b>Management was able to reiterate its guidance despite a significant negative expected planning impact on student loan refinancing revenues of negative $40M following the government's extension of the CARES Act moratorium</b>&nbsp;on student loan payments from Sept. 30, 2021 to Jan. 31, 2022. The company now expects a rebound in the student loan refinancing business early next year while, so far, management had planned for the CARES Act to end on September 30 in its initial guidance. In addition, the company also expects a smaller negative impact from the reduced Technology Platform revenue estimate of $12 million based on the minority stake in APEX thatSoFi bought bac (contribution from the investment ended in January 2021).</p>\n<p>Even despite this significant $40 million negative revenue impact toSoFi's original guidance, plus the originally included $12 million of expected 2021 revenue from the equity investment in APEX, the company did not lower its guidance but was able to reassure investors that the other business segments can outweigh these headwinds, which is a strong validation ofSoFi's diversified business, which will enable the company to maneuver through even difficult periods that may affect one of its business segments from time to time.</p>\n<p>Lastly, management pointed out a clear cost management strategy relative to its growth prospects which should re-assure investors that at some point the company will be back to positive net income alongside robust topline growth:</p>\n<blockquote>\n ...we continue invest aggressively in our business to fuel compounding growth, while still delivering profitability to our shareholders. This combination is not easy, but we are committed to contributing around 30% of incremental revenue to the bottom line and reinvest the remaining 70% in bolstering our product innovation to drive decades of compounding growth. Even as we invest aggressively in technology, marketing and people, we continue to realize cost efficiencies, which is beginning to drive real operating leverage. By leveraging cross buying and better gaining realization and targeting we've reduced sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue and customer acquisition cost meaningfully year-over-year.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Lastly, investors were also keen to hear any updates on the anticipated Bank Charter thatSoFi is pursuing. CEO Anthony Noto mentioned during the conference call that the company is working closely with the Federal Reserve Bank and the OCC in a „constructive process\", but they also reiterated that there's not a definitive timeline to the process itself - so we are still waiting for an update on the bank charter. As previously reported,SoFi filed for a banking charter&nbsp;in July 2020.SoFi's career postings suggest they are building out senior management and teams for the much-anticipated banking division, includingrecent job postingsin compliance, software engineering or auditing.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>There was a lot to like inSoFi's first quarterly report as a public company. We believe the sell-off in the company's shares is an overreaction. The muted guidance, or to put it more positively, the fact that management was able to reiterate its initial guidance for FY 2021 despite the significant negative $40 million impact from the prolongation of the CARES act as management no longer expects a tick-up in the student loan financing business in 2021, should actually be seen as a positive sign that the company's business is building up an important diversification of its business as the other business segments can compensate for these headwinds. While there is a risk that the government may continue to prolong the CARES act moratorium, which would negatively impactSoFi's student loan business, the company is now well diversified to outweigh any negative impact, and the set-up also creates some opportunity for upside surprises as we head into 2022, where the company now expects the tick-up in student loan refinancing to happen.</p>\n<p>In conclusion,SoFi is diversifying its business and is making significant progress in terms of cross-selling and multi-product-adoption amongst its customer base, which will be an important aspect in reducing customer acquisition costs, better margins and driving higher lifetime value per customer. We are encouraged to see how short-term headwinds are compensated by other fast-growing business segments. We remain long the stock.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>SoFi Technologies: Why The Market Got It All Wrong</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\">\nSoFi Technologies: Why The Market Got It All Wrong\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-18 11:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4450048-sofi-technologies-market-got-it-wrong><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nSoFi just reported strong Q2 2021 financial results with accelerating growth across its usage metrics, most of which grew by >100%.\nAdjusted revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY and was ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4450048-sofi-technologies-market-got-it-wrong\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SOFI":"SoFi Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4450048-sofi-technologies-market-got-it-wrong","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1181607588","content_text":"Summary\n\nSoFi just reported strong Q2 2021 financial results with accelerating growth across its usage metrics, most of which grew by >100%.\nAdjusted revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY and was based on a diverse revenue mix from SoFi’s three core business segments.\nHowever, investors got spooked by a net loss of >$150 million for the quarter and a muted guidance for H2 2021.\nManagement made it clear that net loss was impacted by a deferred tax liability from Galileo, while guidance was reiterated despite a $40M headwind from the CARES Act prolongation.\nSoFi is diversifying its business and makes significant progress in terms of multi-product adoption, which will be key for future growth. The 15% drop in shares is a clear overreaction.\n\nipopba/iStock via Getty Images\nSummary\nSoFi Technologies (SOFI) is a fintech company that offers a multitude of digital financial services to customers under its three key business segments, i.e.:\n1) Lending, which includes personal, home, and student loans;\n2) Financial Services, including savings, spending, investment accounts, as well as various debit and credit card services;\n3) Financial technology, which primarily consists of Galileo, a market-leading financial technology infrastructure provider thatSoFi acquired in May 2020.\nThe company aims to become a one-stop-shop for digital financial services and is well on its way to do so.\nSoFi just reported its first set of financial results since becoming a public company, and results were quite strong for the Q2 2021 quarter:\n\nThe company showed accelerating growth across its usage metrics, most of which grew by >100%;\nRevenues also grew triple-digits at 101% year over year (YoY) to $231.3 million, while adjusted net revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY and came in well above guidance of between 58 to 61% YoY growth;\nGrowth in members and products accelerated as well, all growing by triple-digit percentages, and marking the 8th consecutive quarter of accelerating YoY growth in total members forSoFi.\nIn addition, the company generated $61 million of positive EBITDA over the past 12 months, a significant improvement from the $149 million of losses experienced for the full year of 2019.\n\nBut these numbers were not enough to satisfy investor appetite. In fact, investors rushed out of the stock and shares ofSoFi plunged as much as 15% after the release of results. The stock is now down around -37% over the past 6 months at a market capitalization of around $12 billion.\nData by YCharts\nSeemingly, most of the negative reaction to the Q2 results was based on the fact that the company's net loss increased significantly during the quarter. In addition, the company issued guidance for the second half of 2021 that was below what analysts had predicted.\nWe believe the market's reaction toSoFi's numbers is well overblown as both factors, the net loss, as well as the guidance can be attributed to one-time impacts or non-cash items, which we'll explain in more detail below.SoFi's CEO Anthony Noto made it clear on the conference call that the company is accelerating its business across almost every metric. And while it may take some time for investors to understandSoFi's competitive advantage and growth runway, we believe that at current levelsSoFi shares are way oversold.\nThis article won't focus on a detailed description of the business, but will highlight the most recent financial results. For a deep-dive into the company's business model, opportunities and risks, go visit our previous article on SoFi.\nThe Numbers\nSoFi reported very strong Q2 financial results:\nAdjusted Revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY, way above management's initial guidance of between 58 to 61% growth, and well above analyst expectations. Furthermore, the company had another quarter of positive EBITDA, which reached $11 million for the quarter, up $35 million YoY from negative ($24) million in Q2 2020.\nSource:SoFi\nOn an annualized basis,SoFi achieved to bring in $852 million in adjusted net revenue and $61 million in adjusted EBITDA, despite some one-time headwinds in the quarter and alongside aggressive investments in the future growth of the company.\nSource:SoFi\nMost importantly, activity onSoFi's platform is accelerating across all areas.SoFi reported the 8th consecutive quarter of accelerating YoY growth for their total members, which reached 2.56 million for the quarter, up from 1.2 million in the Q2 2020 quarter (representing growth of 113%), and up 12% sequentially from Q1.\nSource:SoFi\nThe quarter also showed continued accelerating YoY growth in Products, which were up 123% to reach 3.7 million.SoFi added more than +2 million products on a YoY comparison, representing 123% YoY growth.\nSource:SoFi\nGalileo, their financial technology platform, reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter as the company added 42.9 million new accounts to their financial technology offering.\nGalileo now posted greater than 100% YoY growth for the last four quarters for Galileo. The platform is a key cornerstone forSoFi's future growth and the fact that they are growing triple-digits and, for the first time, crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July, shows that the business not only has significant scale already but also has a real competitive advantage as reflected by the YoY growth.\nSource:SoFi\nLastly,SoFi's business is diversifying in a significant way. Overall member growth for the business was driven by significant expansion in the Financial Services segment, withSoFi Invest andSoFi Money more than tripling the number of Financial Services segment products, to nearly 2.7 million, up from approximately 783,000 vs. Q2 2020. In the most recent quarter Financial Services segment products were nearly three times the number of Lending Products which shows how strongly the business is diversifying away from its initial lending arm (notwithstanding that loan originations still increased by a very strong 66% YoY). The 3x greater scale supported to drive a 1.7x increase in the number of products that were cross-bought by members already active on the platform in comparison to Q2 2020, as noted by the CEO during the conference call.\nSource:SoFi\nThe Number That Spooked Investors\nThe one thing that let many investors to sell the stock ofSoFi after the earnings report was that the company reported a significant net loss of $165.3 million compared to a still positive net income of $7.8 million in the prior year quarter. However, as the company explained during the conference call, this was largely due to a one-time item in relation to the business combination with Galileo, as well as non-cash items like stock-based compensation (SBC):\n\n We remeasured our valuation allowance during 2020 as a result of the deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with our acquisition of Galileo, which decreased the valuation allowance by $99.8 million. The absence of that tax benefit, together with significant non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and fair value changes in warrants primarily related to the fair market value ofSoFi stock, were the largest contributors to the current period net loss.\n\nSource:SoFi\nIn addition to management's remarks, investors should take a closer look atSoFi's income statement, where it becomes clearer what drove the net loss. The SEC filing shows that management's cost management is actually very prudent as non-interest expenses, including investments into technology and products, sales and marketing, as well as operating costs only increased by 45%, 48%, 46% respectively which is much lower than the company's +74% revenue growth. Only general and administrative expenses more than tripled during the quarter. Digging deeper into the SEC filing reveals that the big chunk of G&A expenses came from aforementioned $99.8 million in deferred tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of Galileo, and stock-based compensation as a result of being a public company (see items marked below).\n\nSource:SoFi\nIf you exclude the one-time item of deferred tax liabilities of $99.8 million, and adjust for three months of SBC with around half of the previous six months SBC expense, thenSoFi's net loss would have only been around negative $(20) million for the quarter (note that this is based on the author's rough estimates and should not be regarded as an accurate reflection of the actual numbers).\nWith that back-of-the-envelope calculation in mind, we are not particularly worried about the net loss that was reported for the quarter relative to the strong top-line growth thatSoFi reported.SoFi's numbers clearly indicate that the business is accelerating in growth, diversifying its services rapidly, while we see cross-selling activity ramping up within its customer-base which should provide some important efficiency gains in the future in terms of reduced customer acquisition costs and improved margins. This aspect becomes much clearer when we also take a look at the results from the individual business segments and the respective contribution profit metrics:\n1) Lending Segment-SoFi generated adjusted net revenue of $172 million, growing 47% YoY, with a contribution profit of $89 million. The increase was largely driven by personal loan originations, which grew by 188% YoY. In addition, contribution profit (marked below) increased by 80% YoY and respective margins improved to 52% compared to a 42% margin in the prior year quarter - and that was alongside an incremental increase of investment into the business of +$15.3 million for the quarter. Margin improvement was driven by operating efficiencies (e.g. more than 50% of personal loans were fully automated vs. less than 30% one year ago) alongside prudent spending in marketing that has brought cost per funded loan down.\nSoFi highlighted in the conference call that growth in this segment was achieved despite noticeable headwinds in the student loans business from the government's CARES-act prolongation, with $859 million in origination volume in the quarter representing less than half of pre-CARES levels.\n\n\nSource:SoFi\n2) Financial Services Segment- net revenue for this segment for the 2nd quarter reached $17.0 million vs. $2.4 million in Q2 2020, representing growth of a mind-blowing 602% YoY. With a 6x growth rate there is not much doubt that the business is successfully attracting customers, while making significant progress also in terms of cross-selling and multi-product-adoption, which will be an important aspect in reducing customer acquisition costs and driving higher lifetime value per customer. Another important aspect is that the incremental YoY revenue increase is offsetting the increased costs attributable to the segment, which was a $8.5 million YoY increase in expenses vs. a $14.6 million increase in revenue vs. Q2 2020, resulting in an improved contribution metric where losses decreased by 20% YoY.\nThe Financial Services Segment also showed strong product growth across all offerings as total products in this segment grew by 243% YoY.SoFi doesn't rest on its laurels as the company has just launched a new equity capital markets and advisory business in the second quarter, which will be interesting to watch.\n\nSource:SoFi\n3) Technology Platform- this segment primarily reports results fromSoFi's financial technology offering Galileo, which saw total net revenue increase by 138% YoY reaching $45.3 million vs. $19 million in the prior year quarter. Total Galileo accounts reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter. Galileo also just crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July as noted during the conference call.\nSource:SoFi\nSoFi is aggressively investing to position Galileo for strong future growth, e.g. by moving operations from on-premise to the cloud, while nearly doubling its headcount and expanding into new geographies. Management mentioned that they are nearing completion of building out a new cloud computing environment for Galileo which is supposed to replace the on premises environment, including the preparation of migrating existing clients to the cloud in Q3. While this contributed to a significant increase in expenses and impacted the resulting contribution profit for this segment,SoFi was still able to show YoY growth in contribution profit of 8%. It is important to see that management is pursuing all efforts to continue to accelerate growth in one of their key differentiating business segments, which Galileo clearly represents. What Amazon did for retail or the cloud with pioneering its AWS offering, could be replicated through Galileo as they are on track to position it as the leading financial technology offering and backbone to the global financial technology industry.\nManagement Guidance\nFor the third quarter of 2021SoFi's management expects adjusted net revenue of $245 million to $255 million, representing only around 15% growth vs. the prior year quarter, which is markedly lower than the $270.2M average estimate from two analysts. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to come in between negative $(7) million to positive $3 million. The expected top-line growth seems to be quite conservative but has surprised many investors who expected much higher growth rates, especially afterSoFi just reported a +74% growth in the most recent quarter.\nWhile the guidance was a significant factor contributing to the sell-off inSoFi's shares, we believe that investors shouldn't put too much focus on the headlines of „missed\" guidance. The fact thatSoFi is sticking to its initial guidance of adjusted net revenue of $980 million and adjusted EBITDA of positive $27 million is the most important take-away.Management was able to reiterate its guidance despite a significant negative expected planning impact on student loan refinancing revenues of negative $40M following the government's extension of the CARES Act moratorium on student loan payments from Sept. 30, 2021 to Jan. 31, 2022. The company now expects a rebound in the student loan refinancing business early next year while, so far, management had planned for the CARES Act to end on September 30 in its initial guidance. In addition, the company also expects a smaller negative impact from the reduced Technology Platform revenue estimate of $12 million based on the minority stake in APEX thatSoFi bought bac (contribution from the investment ended in January 2021).\nEven despite this significant $40 million negative revenue impact toSoFi's original guidance, plus the originally included $12 million of expected 2021 revenue from the equity investment in APEX, the company did not lower its guidance but was able to reassure investors that the other business segments can outweigh these headwinds, which is a strong validation ofSoFi's diversified business, which will enable the company to maneuver through even difficult periods that may affect one of its business segments from time to time.\nLastly, management pointed out a clear cost management strategy relative to its growth prospects which should re-assure investors that at some point the company will be back to positive net income alongside robust topline growth:\n\n ...we continue invest aggressively in our business to fuel compounding growth, while still delivering profitability to our shareholders. This combination is not easy, but we are committed to contributing around 30% of incremental revenue to the bottom line and reinvest the remaining 70% in bolstering our product innovation to drive decades of compounding growth. Even as we invest aggressively in technology, marketing and people, we continue to realize cost efficiencies, which is beginning to drive real operating leverage. By leveraging cross buying and better gaining realization and targeting we've reduced sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue and customer acquisition cost meaningfully year-over-year.\n\nLastly, investors were also keen to hear any updates on the anticipated Bank Charter thatSoFi is pursuing. CEO Anthony Noto mentioned during the conference call that the company is working closely with the Federal Reserve Bank and the OCC in a „constructive process\", but they also reiterated that there's not a definitive timeline to the process itself - so we are still waiting for an update on the bank charter. As previously reported,SoFi filed for a banking charter in July 2020.SoFi's career postings suggest they are building out senior management and teams for the much-anticipated banking division, includingrecent job postingsin compliance, software engineering or auditing.\nConclusion\nThere was a lot to like inSoFi's first quarterly report as a public company. We believe the sell-off in the company's shares is an overreaction. The muted guidance, or to put it more positively, the fact that management was able to reiterate its initial guidance for FY 2021 despite the significant negative $40 million impact from the prolongation of the CARES act as management no longer expects a tick-up in the student loan financing business in 2021, should actually be seen as a positive sign that the company's business is building up an important diversification of its business as the other business segments can compensate for these headwinds. While there is a risk that the government may continue to prolong the CARES act moratorium, which would negatively impactSoFi's student loan business, the company is now well diversified to outweigh any negative impact, and the set-up also creates some opportunity for upside surprises as we head into 2022, where the company now expects the tick-up in student loan refinancing to happen.\nIn conclusion,SoFi is diversifying its business and is making significant progress in terms of cross-selling and multi-product-adoption amongst its customer base, which will be an important aspect in reducing customer acquisition costs, better margins and driving higher lifetime value per customer. We are encouraged to see how short-term headwinds are compensated by other fast-growing business segments. We remain long the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":622,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":894631193,"gmtCreate":1628820564412,"gmtModify":1676529865298,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/894631193","repostId":"1178005030","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178005030","pubTimestamp":1628819923,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178005030?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-13 09:58","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Global M&A volumes hit new record in 2021, overtaking last year's haul","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178005030","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"By Patturaja Murugaboopathy and Gaurav Dogra\nAug 12 (Reuters)-Global merger and acquisition (M&A) ac","content":"<p>By Patturaja Murugaboopathy and Gaurav Dogra</p>\n<p>Aug 12 (Reuters)-Global merger and acquisition (M&amp;A) activity has breached new highs, building on the record-breaking dealmaking streak from the beginning of the year that has been aided by low interest rates and soaring stock prices.</p>\n<p>According to Refinitiv data, the total value of pending and completed deals announced in 2021 has already touched $3.6 trillion year-to-date, surpassing the full-year tally of $3.59 trillion in 2020.</p>\n<p>So far this year, 35,128 deals have been announced, a 24% jump over last year.</p>\n<p>\"The M&amp;A momentum points to a fundamentally strong market looking ahead.

Market Forces and the BHP investors have tabled resolutions to be considered at the company’s annual meeting in Australia later this year.</p>\n<p>BHP’s board will set out a response ahead of the meeting, the company said in a statement Wednesday. The investors hold less than 0.01% of BHP’s Australia-listed entity and about 0.006% of the combined group, which includes the miner’s London-traded shares, according to the statement.</p>\n<p>BHP is considering an exit from the oil and gas sector and reviewing options including a trade sale, people familiar with the matter said last month.

Market Forces and the BHP investors have tabled resolutions to be considered at the company’s annual meeting in Australia later this year.\nBHP’s board will set out a response ahead of the meeting, the company said in a statement Wednesday. The investors hold less than 0.01% of BHP’s Australia-listed entity and about 0.006% of the combined group, which includes the miner’s London-traded shares, according to the statement.\nBHP is considering an exit from the oil and gas sector and reviewing options including a trade sale, people familiar with the matter said last month. The producer in June agreed to sell its one-third share in a Colombian coal mine and is also progressing plans to offload a thermal coal operation and some metallurgical coal assets in Australia.\nActivists who previously had urged the biggest miners and oil majors to rid their portfolios of fossil fuels operations are increasingly changing approach, in recognition that assets are often sold to smaller producers or government-backed firms that operate with far less transparency and typically seek to boost volumes.\nWhile shareholder resolutions seldom win large support, they’re among tools being used by small campaign groups to pressure companies.

Recently, CEO Elon Musk expressed his belief that, over the long term, people would think of Tesla as an artificial-intelligence and robotics company, not just anelectric-vehicle(EV) manufacturer.</p>\n<p>To that point, since October 2016, all Tesla vehicles have shipped with autopilot hardware, involving eight external cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and an onboard supercomputer. Today, with over 1 million cars on the road, the company has collected over 3 billion miles' worth of real-world driving data, far more than any other automaker. That gives Tesla a significant advantage in the race to build afully autonomous EV.</p>\n<p>In 2019, the company reinforced that advantage with the launch of Autopilot Hardware 3.0, featuring an upgraded version of the in-car supercomputer. At the time, Musk called it \"[objectively] the best chip in the world,\" and a report from Nikkei came to the same conclusion, stating that Tesla's technology was six years&nbsp;ahead of its rivals.</p>\n<p>More recently, Musk made a bold announcement at Tesla's Battery Day event, saying the company would produce a fully autonomous $25,000 EV within the next three years. You read that correctly -- Tesla plans to have an affordable, self-driving electric car in the near term.</p>\n<p>If the company realizes that goal, it could radically change Tesla's business model. Rather than compete on low-margin vehicle sales, Tesla could license its self-driving platform to other automakers, transitioning into the higher-margin software industry. The company could also launch an autonomous-ride-hailing network, a market that Cathie Wood's Ark Invest values at $1.2 trillion&nbsp;by 2030. And given Tesla's advantage -- better tech and more data -- the company could capture a good chunk of that figure.</p>\n<p>As a final thought, Tesla stock currently trades at an outrageous 19 times sales, while<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TM\">Toyota</a></b>trades even with sales. But a decade from now, if Tesla does indeed shift gears and disrupt the mobility industry, that number may not seem so absurd in hindsight. That's why now looks like a good time to pick up a few shares of this tech stock.</p>\n<p>Meet me in the metaverse</p>\n<p><b>Jeremy Bowman(Facebook)</b>: Traditionally, Facebook hasn't been known as a pioneer of new technology. The company dominates social media and makes its money from advertising, and whilesocial mediaas a concept is new, enabled by the internet, selling advertising next to content is a centuries-old business model.</p>\n<p>However, Facebook's next phase could look a lot different. The company is investing heavily in its virtual-reality platform, Oculus, and similar projects at Facebook Reality Labs, its research division devoted to augmented and virtual reality. On Facebook's second-quarter earnings report, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced investors to the term \"metaverse,\" which he explained on theearnings callwas a virtual environment where people can be present with one another inside digital spaces. Zuckerberg described it as a place where anyone can hang out with friends, work, create, or play games.</p>\n<p>So far, Oculus is only generating a small fraction of Facebook's total revenue, but it could get a lot bigger as virtual and augmented reality (AR and VR) go mainstream. Zuckerberghas predictedthat VR would be the next big computing platform, noting that historically computing platforms have shifted approximately every 15 years, from mainframes, to PCs, to the internet, to mobile. Considering the iPhone was first introduced in 2007, the transition to VR should be emerging in the next few years, based on that pattern.</p>\n<p>Monetization of the metaverse will come later, but it's easy to see how a new experience VR and AR lends to itself to a wide range of possibilities, including advertising, subscription content, an<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a></b>-like app store, gaming, and others. Zuckerberg is only 37 years old and could very well be running Facebook in 2050, giving him plenty of time to execute on his vision. Wherever the future of technology goes, it's a good bet that he will be there.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks That Will Shape the Future of Technology</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\">\n3 Stocks That Will Shape the Future of Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-10 10:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/09/3-stocks-that-will-shape-the-future-of-technology/><strong>The motley fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Technology is always changing, and the stock market's performance over the past decade has shown that tech stocks are must-own for almost any kind of investing style.\nSo-calledFAAMNG stockshave been ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/09/3-stocks-that-will-shape-the-future-of-technology/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"FUTR.UK":"FUTURE","TSLA":"特斯拉","SHOP":"Shopify Inc"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/09/3-stocks-that-will-shape-the-future-of-technology/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1168711372","content_text":"Technology is always changing, and the stock market's performance over the past decade has shown that tech stocks are must-own for almost any kind of investing style.\nSo-calledFAAMNG stockshave been big winners and now make up the five most valuable companies in the United States.

Zuckerberghas predictedthat VR would be the next big computing platform, noting that historically computing platforms have shifted approximately every 15 years, from mainframes, to PCs, to the internet, to mobile. Considering the iPhone was first introduced in 2007, the transition to VR should be emerging in the next few years, based on that pattern.\nMonetization of the metaverse will come later, but it's easy to see how a new experience VR and AR lends to itself to a wide range of possibilities, including advertising, subscription content, anApple-like app store, gaming, and others. Zuckerberg is only 37 years old and could very well be running Facebook in 2050, giving him plenty of time to execute on his vision. Wherever the future of technology goes, it's a good bet that he will be there.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898151195,"gmtCreate":1628479699317,"gmtModify":1703506759716,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898151195","repostId":"2157418467","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":507,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898151965,"gmtCreate":1628479684457,"gmtModify":1703506759067,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898151965","repostId":"1183198209","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183198209","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1628478251,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1183198209?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-09 11:04","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"China’s factory-price index continues rapid rise in July","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183198209","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"China’s factory-gate prices rose at an elevated rate in July, driven by higher crude oil and coal pr","content":"<p>China’s factory-gate prices rose at an elevated rate in July, driven by higher crude oil and coal prices.</p>\n<p>The producer-price index rose 9.0% from a year earlier, faster than an 8.8% increase in June, said the National Bureau of Statistics Monday.</p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal’s poll of economists forecast an 8.8% increase.

This is a stock picker's market. Quality stocks in well-positioned sectors will have much higher upside potential than most index-tracking ETFs for the remainder of 2021.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 hasn't seen a pullback of more than 5% so far this year and hasn't seen an actual correction (a pullback of 10% or more) since last September, which was quickly bought back up once that down 10% mark was reached. Despite this blue-chip benchmark not exhibiting any material sell-off, over 90% of its 505 components have experienced a 10% or larger correction in 2021 thus far.</p>\n<p><b>Rotations In &amp; Out of Growth &amp; Value</b></p>\n<p>Investors have kept the stock market's bull drive alive by rotating in and out of growth and value sectors as portfolio's position for the reopening at the beginning of the year, then turned back to growth stocks when the yield surge began to fade mid-May. This performance deviation is clearly illustrated below with Vanguard's growth-oriented ETF (VUG Quick QuoteVUG-Free Report) in the candlesticks and its value-focused ETF (VTV Quick QuoteVTV-Free Report) represented by the orange line.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/80d0680692ab8ada950167692164017e\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"408\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image Source: TradingView</p>\n<p>The year-to-date performance divergence between these two stock groupings illustrates that investors &amp; traders are not buying indiscriminately. Meaning that judgment is going into every trade decision (aka stock picking), causing the market to deflate overstretched areas and reallocate into relatively cheaper spaces.</p>\n<p><b>Accelerating Annualized Returns</b></p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 has remained above an extraordinary 75% annualized return trendline for over 16 months now. Unfortunately, this rate of return isn't even close to sustainable.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 has averaged 12% upside a year over the past 3 decades. However, the average annual growth rate has aged like fine wine. This blue-chip benchmark has demonstrated an average annualized return of nearly 15% over the past decade, and if narrowed down to just the last 5 years, those annual gains go up to over 16%.</p>\n<p>The stock market is experiencing swelling average annual gains because of the rapid acceleration of technology that continuously accelerates companies' and our economy's growth outlook. I expect to see continued annualized return acceleration over the next decade as tech makes up a growing portion of the public equity market. Nevertheless, a rolling 75% annualized return out of the S&amp;P 500 isn't viable.</p>\n<p>There may be too much sideline capital (a record 5.5 trillion in money market funds, according to Goldman Sachs (GS Quick QuoteGS-Free Report) for the market to entirely correct. Still, we are due for consolidation over the next few months, aka a rolling correction.</p>\n<p>We are now entering a pivotal point in this maturing market cycle. Q2 earnings season has been tremendous thus far, with earnings soaring 105% on sales up over 22% from a year ago. 91% of the reported companies beating EPS estimates, and over 86% beat top-line projections. The richly valued tech sector has demonstrated awe-inspiring Q2 results, with 100% of them exceeding EPS estimates and over 96% beating on revenues, which seemingly justified frothy valuations in the space.</p>\n<p>However, analysts are projecting peak earnings growth to be in the rear-view mirror as Q2 earnings season wraps up, and at these rich multiples, valuation compression may be in order. Even with these exceptional quarterly reports and growing full-year estimates, we have seen an undue level of profit-pulling and defensive market positioning. The resurging COVID fears and anticipated shift in monetary policy also weigh on bullish sentiment.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the enormous amount of cash on the bench is still being put to work, with every marginal dip being bought right back up. The national consumer savings rate in the US sits sizably above the last decade's average.

This is a stock picker's market. Quality stocks in well-positioned sectors will have much higher upside potential than most index-tracking ETFs for the remainder of 2021.\nThe S&P 500 hasn't seen a pullback of more than 5% so far this year and hasn't seen an actual correction (a pullback of 10% or more) since last September, which was quickly bought back up once that down 10% mark was reached. Despite this blue-chip benchmark not exhibiting any material sell-off, over 90% of its 505 components have experienced a 10% or larger correction in 2021 thus far.\nRotations In & Out of Growth & Value\nInvestors have kept the stock market's bull drive alive by rotating in and out of growth and value sectors as portfolio's position for the reopening at the beginning of the year, then turned back to growth stocks when the yield surge began to fade mid-May. This performance deviation is clearly illustrated below with Vanguard's growth-oriented ETF (VUG Quick QuoteVUG-Free Report) in the candlesticks and its value-focused ETF (VTV Quick QuoteVTV-Free Report) represented by the orange line.\n\nImage Source: TradingView\nThe year-to-date performance divergence between these two stock groupings illustrates that investors & traders are not buying indiscriminately. Meaning that judgment is going into every trade decision (aka stock picking), causing the market to deflate overstretched areas and reallocate into relatively cheaper spaces.\nAccelerating Annualized Returns\nThe S&P 500 has remained above an extraordinary 75% annualized return trendline for over 16 months now. Unfortunately, this rate of return isn't even close to sustainable.\nThe S&P 500 has averaged 12% upside a year over the past 3 decades. However, the average annual growth rate has aged like fine wine. This blue-chip benchmark has demonstrated an average annualized return of nearly 15% over the past decade, and if narrowed down to just the last 5 years, those annual gains go up to over 16%.\nThe stock market is experiencing swelling average annual gains because of the rapid acceleration of technology that continuously accelerates companies' and our economy's growth outlook. I expect to see continued annualized return acceleration over the next decade as tech makes up a growing portion of the public equity market. Nevertheless, a rolling 75% annualized return out of the S&P 500 isn't viable.\nThere may be too much sideline capital (a record 5.5 trillion in money market funds, according to Goldman Sachs (GS Quick QuoteGS-Free Report) for the market to entirely correct. Still, we are due for consolidation over the next few months, aka a rolling correction.\nWe are now entering a pivotal point in this maturing market cycle. Q2 earnings season has been tremendous thus far, with earnings soaring 105% on sales up over 22% from a year ago. 91% of the reported companies beating EPS estimates, and over 86% beat top-line projections. The richly valued tech sector has demonstrated awe-inspiring Q2 results, with 100% of them exceeding EPS estimates and over 96% beating on revenues, which seemingly justified frothy valuations in the space.\nHowever, analysts are projecting peak earnings growth to be in the rear-view mirror as Q2 earnings season wraps up, and at these rich multiples, valuation compression may be in order. Even with these exceptional quarterly reports and growing full-year estimates, we have seen an undue level of profit-pulling and defensive market positioning. The resurging COVID fears and anticipated shift in monetary policy also weigh on bullish sentiment.\nNevertheless, the enormous amount of cash on the bench is still being put to work, with every marginal dip being bought right back up. The national consumer savings rate in the US sits sizably above the last decade's average. Americans are not only participating in the public equity market at a record rate, but they also have plenty of liquidity to keep buying their favorite stocks.\nStocks remain the most attractive asset class, with negative real interest rates in the bond market, sky-high commodity prices, highly volatile crypto prices, and pricing pressure that most publicly traded companies have been able to easily transfer to their end-markets (illustrated by Q2 margin results).\nI expect to see a rolling correction, reflected by a consolidating stock market, instead of this 10%+ correction that analysts have been postulating. Range-bound indexes(less than 10% swings) for some time (month or two) would have the same valuation compressing effect as an all-out correction because earnings would be growing while prices remain muted, leading to shrinking P/E multiples (aka rolling correction).\nI foresee a sideways broader market trade until the Delta-variant is no longer a global concern. I remain bullish on stocks for the remaining 5 months of 2021 and am confident that the S&P 500 will close out the year higher than it is trading at today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":411,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":899333512,"gmtCreate":1628158186236,"gmtModify":1703502275045,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/899333512","repostId":"2156109959","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":332,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807537361,"gmtCreate":1628042918953,"gmtModify":1703500129215,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like plss","listText":"Like plss","text":"Like plss","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807537361","repostId":"1127319449","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":225,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807534478,"gmtCreate":1628042905394,"gmtModify":1703500128229,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807534478","repostId":"1182687501","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1182687501","pubTimestamp":1628041716,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1182687501?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-04 09:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SK Innovation to Split Battery Business as EV Demand Rises","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1182687501","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Shares decline as unit to stay wholly-owned subsidiary\nBattery division’s second-quarter operating l","content":"<ul>\n <li>Shares decline as unit to stay wholly-owned subsidiary</li>\n <li>Battery division’s second-quarter operating loss narrows</li>\n</ul>\n<p>SK Innovation Co.&nbsp;will split off its battery business as the company looks to build up production to meet growing global demand for electric cars.</p>\n<p>SK Innovation plans to form SK Battery in October after seeking approval from its shareholders on Sept. 16, the company&nbsp;said&nbsp;in a regulatory filing Wednesday.

Perhaps investors thought that tech stocks were flying too high or that other sectors could grow faster as the economy opened back up.</p>\n<p>Whatever the case, some fantastic technology stocks are currently on sale and savvy investors would be wise to head straight to the bargain bin. To help you sift through the pile, we asked a few Motley Fool contributors for their top tech stocks right now. They came back with <b>Etsy</b> (NASDAQ:ETSY), <b>SoFi Technologies</b> (NASDAQ:SOFI), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></b> (NYSE:SNOW). Here's why.</p>\n<h2>Etsy is becoming more fashionable (at a discount)</h2>\n<p><b>Brian Withers (Etsy): </b>Etsy seemed to be an overnight success as millions discovered the platform last year when searching online to buy face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic. Since then its artisans have sold $948 million worth of masks. But those investors who think this tech-powered marketplace is just a coronavirus play couldn't be more wrong. Let's dive into the company's latest results and see why this gem could be a steal at 20% below its all-time high.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 FY2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q4 FY2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 FY2021</p></th>\n   <th><p>Change (QOQ)</p></th>\n   <th><p>Change (YOY)</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Gross merchandise sales (GMS)</p></td>\n   <td><p>$1.4 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>$3.6 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>$3.1 billion</p></td>\n   <td><p>(14%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>127%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>$228 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>$617 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>$551 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>(11%)</p></td>\n   <td><p>142%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Active buyers*</p></td>\n   <td><p>47.1 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>80.9 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>89.7 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>11%</p></td>\n   <td><p>90%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Etsy. QOQ = quarter over quarter. YOY = year over year. *An active buyer is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that has made a purchase in the last 12 months.</p>\n<p>Gross merchandise sales on its platform declined from the holiday quarter coming into the first quarter bringing revenue down 11% quarter over quarter. But the year-over-year changes were robust, with a 127% increase in GMS, a 142% increase in the top line, and a 90% increase in active buyers.</p>\n<p>Sequentially, buyer metrics were strong across the board, showing that this platform is attracting and keeping customers, even as the coronavirus wanes. Repeat buyers grew 13% sequentially to 36.4 million and habitual buyers grew 22% to a record 7.9 million. Repeat buyers have more than one purchase day in the last 12 months, and habitual buyers rack up six purchase days in that same time period. What's even more impressive is that GMS per active buyer also hit a record of $124 in the quarter, a 20% year-over-year improvement.</p>\n<p>But the company is not resting on its laurels. A recent acquisition of fashion reseller Depop for $1.6 billion bolsters its apparel category, which put up $1.2 billion in GMS over the previous 12 months and a solid 83% year-over-year growth for the quarter. The Depop brand strengthens the company's stranglehold on \"special\" e-commerce, where 88% of buyers said they find products on Etsy that they can't find anywhere else. But wait, there's more. Last month, it extended its merger and acquisition run with a $217 million purchase of Elo7, the Etsy of Brazil. Between these two acquisitions, the company will have its hands full with integration activities and pursuing more growth in the quarters to come.</p>\n<p>With the stock off its high, don't be fooled into thinking this pullback makes the stock a bargain. It still carries a lofty valuation that might scare off value investors. Its price-to-sales ratio is in the double digits at 13 and its trailing price-to-earnings ratio tops 50. But growth investors know that they need to pay up for quality and this marketplace for artisans is a one of a kind. I couldn't pass up the value this stock is presenting right now and picked up some shares myself this past week. Maybe you'll consider joining me?</p>\n<h2>A fintech monster in the making</h2>\n<p><b>Danny Vena (SoFi Technologies): </b>Sometimes a stock goes on sale for reasons that have nothing to do with the company's business -- and that's exactly the case with SoFi Technologies. To understand what's happening with the share price requires a look at some of the provisions in the company's lock-up agreement.</p>\n<p>The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger between Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings V and Social Finance was completed on May 28, and SoFi Technologies began trading on June 1.

The company's stock has taken a hit for several reasons that are worth a quick recap. Here are two:</p>\n<p>First, Snowflake's share price began falling in February as part of a broader sell-off of tech stocks in the market. Many investors poured money into tech stocks in 2020 as they looked for businesses that could still do well during pandemic-induced lockdowns.</p>\n<p>But then investors pivoted their attention away from tech stocks and toward other areas of the U.S. economy, sending Snowflake's and other tech companies' share prices tumbling.</p>\n<p>Second, some investors sold their Snowflake shares after the company reported its fiscal-year 2021 results in March. Sales spiked 124% from the previous year, but its net loss widened and some investors got scared Snowflake's run was over.</p>\n<p>While it's no surprise that investors don't like to see a company's losses widen, it appears that investors overlooked the company's&nbsp;impressive growth stats from its first quarter (reported in May) including having more than 100 customers who spend more than $1 million each with company every year.</p>\n<p>In fact, Snowflake is growing so fast that its management believes it will surpass $10 <i>billion</i> in product revenue by 2029.&nbsp;That impressive figure will be achieved by adding new customers and convincing them to continue spending more money on Snowflake's platform -- two things that are already happening.</p>\n<p>Snowflake now has 4,532 total customers and its net revenue retention rate is 168%. That means Snowflake's customers continue to see value from its services and continue to increase their spending with the company.</p>\n<p>With Snowflake still in the early stages of its growth, investors should remain patient with this company. The recent pullback from the company's share price is creating a buying opportunity for savvy investors -- and in the coming years, you'll likely be glad you added this tech stock to your portfolio.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>3 Tech Stocks to Buy While They Are on Sale</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\">\n3 Tech Stocks to Buy While They Are on Sale\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-26 14:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/25/3-tech-stocks-to-buy-while-they-are-on-sale/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many technology stocks were big winners in 2020, but when the new year began investors seemed to lose a bit of their enthusiasm for the sector.

Perhaps investors thought that tech stocks were flying too high or that other sectors could grow faster as the economy opened back up.\nWhatever the case, some fantastic technology stocks are currently on sale and savvy investors would be wise to head straight to the bargain bin. To help you sift through the pile, we asked a few Motley Fool contributors for their top tech stocks right now. They came back with Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY), SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), and Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW). Here's why.\nEtsy is becoming more fashionable (at a discount)\nBrian Withers (Etsy): Etsy seemed to be an overnight success as millions discovered the platform last year when searching online to buy face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic. Since then its artisans have sold $948 million worth of masks. But those investors who think this tech-powered marketplace is just a coronavirus play couldn't be more wrong. Let's dive into the company's latest results and see why this gem could be a steal at 20% below its all-time high.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ1 FY2020\nQ4 FY2020\nQ1 FY2021\nChange (QOQ)\nChange (YOY)\n\n\n\n\nGross merchandise sales (GMS)\n$1.4 billion\n$3.6 billion\n$3.1 billion\n(14%)\n127%\n\n\nRevenue\n$228 million\n$617 million\n$551 million\n(11%)\n142%\n\n\nActive buyers*\n47.1 million\n80.9 million\n89.7 million\n11%\n90%\n\n\n\nData source: Etsy. QOQ = quarter over quarter. YOY = year over year. *An active buyer is one that has made a purchase in the last 12 months.\nGross merchandise sales on its platform declined from the holiday quarter coming into the first quarter bringing revenue down 11% quarter over quarter. But the year-over-year changes were robust, with a 127% increase in GMS, a 142% increase in the top line, and a 90% increase in active buyers.\nSequentially, buyer metrics were strong across the board, showing that this platform is attracting and keeping customers, even as the coronavirus wanes. Repeat buyers grew 13% sequentially to 36.4 million and habitual buyers grew 22% to a record 7.9 million. Repeat buyers have more than one purchase day in the last 12 months, and habitual buyers rack up six purchase days in that same time period. What's even more impressive is that GMS per active buyer also hit a record of $124 in the quarter, a 20% year-over-year improvement.\nBut the company is not resting on its laurels. A recent acquisition of fashion reseller Depop for $1.6 billion bolsters its apparel category, which put up $1.2 billion in GMS over the previous 12 months and a solid 83% year-over-year growth for the quarter. The Depop brand strengthens the company's stranglehold on \"special\" e-commerce, where 88% of buyers said they find products on Etsy that they can't find anywhere else. But wait, there's more. Last month, it extended its merger and acquisition run with a $217 million purchase of Elo7, the Etsy of Brazil. Between these two acquisitions, the company will have its hands full with integration activities and pursuing more growth in the quarters to come.\nWith the stock off its high, don't be fooled into thinking this pullback makes the stock a bargain. It still carries a lofty valuation that might scare off value investors. Its price-to-sales ratio is in the double digits at 13 and its trailing price-to-earnings ratio tops 50. But growth investors know that they need to pay up for quality and this marketplace for artisans is a one of a kind. I couldn't pass up the value this stock is presenting right now and picked up some shares myself this past week. Maybe you'll consider joining me?\nA fintech monster in the making\nDanny Vena (SoFi Technologies): Sometimes a stock goes on sale for reasons that have nothing to do with the company's business -- and that's exactly the case with SoFi Technologies. To understand what's happening with the share price requires a look at some of the provisions in the company's lock-up agreement.\nThe special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger between Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings V and Social Finance was completed on May 28, and SoFi Technologies began trading on June 1. The completion of that merger started the clock ticking on the company's traditional lockup period of 180 days -- the period after which insiders and early investors could sell the stock.\nThere were some unusual provisions included in the lock-up agreement, however, that would trigger an early end to the lock-up period for a large chunk of the shares.\nIf SoFi stock traded above $12.50 for any 20 days during a 30-day period, 33% of the shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. For context, SoFi opened at $22.97 on June 1 and never traded below the $12.50 threshold for the entire month -- thus triggering the early release of 33% of the shares from the lock-up period.\nThe second provision stated that if SoFi stock traded above $15 any 20 days during a 30-day period, an additional 50% of shares subject to the lock-up would be released early. SoFi stock never traded below $18.50 per share during the month of June -- triggering the early release of another 50% of shares subject to the lock-up.\nThe flood of new shares on the market and short-selling that preceded the end of the lockup conspired to drive the stock price down. As of this writing, SoFi stock has fallen 37% from its high in early June. In cases like this, however, it's important to look to the company's business performance for insight into the future.\nIn the first quarter, SoFi delivered revenue that grew 150% year over year, while some of its segments did even better. Its lending segment grew 105%, its technology business soared 45-fold, and its financial services segment jumped 200%. At the same time, SoFi generated its third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, setting the stage for future profitability.\nOther metrics illustrate the reasons for the company's surging revenue growth. Members grew 110% year over year, while its lending and financial services product offerings grew 12% and 273%, respectively.  The number of accounts related to its Galileo financial services platform ballooned 130%.\nThese metrics help illustrate that SoFi is firing on all cylinders. Investors should ignore the stock price decline related to the expiration of the lock-up agreement and buy shares now, while they're on sale.\nThis stock isn't melting down just yet \nChris Neiger (Snowflake): Since the beginning of this year, shares of the cloud-based data platform company Snowflake have tumbled nearly 6%.

Sales spiked 124% from the previous year, but its net loss widened and some investors got scared Snowflake's run was over.\nWhile it's no surprise that investors don't like to see a company's losses widen, it appears that investors overlooked the company's impressive growth stats from its first quarter (reported in May) including having more than 100 customers who spend more than $1 million each with company every year.\nIn fact, Snowflake is growing so fast that its management believes it will surpass $10 billion in product revenue by 2029. That impressive figure will be achieved by adding new customers and convincing them to continue spending more money on Snowflake's platform -- two things that are already happening.\nSnowflake now has 4,532 total customers and its net revenue retention rate is 168%.

First it was March, then May, then June, then September, for when experts would say the crash would come. Has it? No. Will it? Possibly. Is it easy to predict? Hardly. The more you hear people talk about it, the more you see it, the more convincing a possible crash gets - yet it's still nothing to fear. There are unfavorable and unsightly factors in the markets - again, it's still nothing to fear; rather, it's something to keep in mind, prepare for, and ultimately, take advantage of and capitalize. Just like in sports such as basketball and soccer, a great player plays both offense and defense very well, and likewise a great investor can play both the bull and bear runs in the market, and capitalize off of either. A crash should be nothing to fear, when the cards are stacked right and the hedges are placed, as it can offer chances to buy high-quality companies often at large discounts.</p>\n<p>An Abundance of 'Warnings'</p>\n<p>Simply doing a quick search on Google (GOOG) for \"stock market crash\" or \"stock market crash expert\" returns dozens upon dozens of results of arguments laying out the pending doom of the markets, the arguments behind why the crash is bound to happen, why the crash didn't happen when it was supposed to,etc.; while there are many different 'expert warnings' for such a crash, let's take a look at three different perspectives, from Harry Dent, Jeremy Grantham, and John Hussman.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Harry Denthas warned of an 80% crash coming this fall (a bit on the extreme side it seems, compared to others), saying that \"stocks have no place in investors' portfolios.\" His track record includes calling Japan's 1989 bubble and the dot-com bubble, and Dent is seeing that while investors remain bullish in the longer-term, the economy's recovery isn't the same and \"not as good as it used to be.\" Back in March, he had said that the biggest crash would happen in June, but as we all can see, it did not.</li>\n <li>Jeremy Granthamsees that the 2020 Covid-induced crash was a mere blip in the run to the market peak, with the past year shoring up to be the \"classic finale to an 11-year bull market.\" Overvaluation across each market decile, farther than in 2000, while margin and debt peak, and high speculative trading support his warning. He also sees deflating asset prices, such as housing, causing pain as well, as bonds, stocks and real estate have all inflated together.</li>\n <li>John Hussmanhas warned that valuations are extreme, and called for the S&amp;P 500 to see 12 years of negative returns ahead and a &gt;60% decline; Hussman's track record includes calling out the dot-com bubble burst and 80% decline, the 2008 crash, and the decade of negative returns following the dot-com bubble. He also warns about speculation on securities that have already seen large appreciation for future growth. One of the key factors that he points out for a likely snapping of this bull run is that \"the mental image in anticipation of a post-pandemic recovery may be more pleasant than the actual recovery itself,\" such that the \"glowing optimism currently built into record valuation extremes could be followed by quite a bit of disappointment.\"</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Yet they aren't alone, and while track records do show some big crashes, often times they can be wrong far more than they are right, banks are also seeing minimal returns over the decade - Bank of America (BAC) is predicting that the S&amp;P 500 would return an average of just 2% through the decade given the valuation landscape. That, plus other factors, do bring up the possibility of a crash, but with the signs and signals flashing, it shouldn't catch anyone off guard.</p>\n<p>Four Factors</p>\n<p>While there are many factors that have caused prior crashes and could cause future ones, four main factors that this current market exhibits that have the potential to cause a crash include: high amounts of speculative trading, slowdown in growth (economic recovery), peak valuations, and low interest rates that rise.</p>\n<p>Excessive Speculation</p>\n<p>Speculation comes in many forms, but the most recognizable instances of over-exuberant trading and excessive speculation include GameStop's (GME) January short-squeeze frenzy, Archegos' implosion and the crash of Viacom (VIAC), Discovery (DISCA), a basket of Chinese tech stocks including Baidu (BIDU), iQIYI (IQ) and Vipshop(NYSE:VIPS), and others, and the more recent AMC Entertainment (AMC) short squeeze. Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) also erupted in a speculative half social-media, half Elon Musk-fueled run.</p>\n<p>While single asset speculation through heavy volume trading not just in shares but in call options has been visible, less visible aspects of excessive speculative have persisted for months, with some surfacing in February or earlier.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dccc290398aed22a11cf41ae63a85bce\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"453\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Margin debt (above) has risen significantly since 2020's bottoming out, up over 70% to over $850 billion from just $500 billion in early 2020. Robinhood (HOOD), a facilitator of first-time investors entering the market, of which they did in herds during 2020, provided relatively easy access to margin trading, and a flood of new investors and a surge in 'FOMO' helped push both margin debt and the market higher through 2020. While spikes in margin debt have historically preceded both the dot-com and housing bubble bursts (a pre-recessionary indicator), margin debt has spiked during the recent recession, which could signal that more pain is yet to come.</p>\n<p>Back in early February, signs of excess speculation and a push in the ten-year past 1.25%, to me, signaled pain ahead for growth stocks - thatthesisplayed out starting that day, with the NASDAQ falling over 10% through early March. Now, yields are stumbling, with the ten-year dropping below 1.30%, as expectations for a growth slowdown amid a slew of factors including new lockdowns in Australia, rising cases from the Delta variant and higher-than-expected inflation.</p>\n<p>Speculation combines with other factors, like a growth slowdown and peak valuations, to create frothiness in trading, stretched multiples, and asymmetric risk-reward profiles, creating more risk than reward often.</p>\n<p>Growth Slowdown</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/034a916ba93dac9b099409c5906bee37\" tg-width=\"631\" tg-height=\"563\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromWeForumvia Statista</span></p>\n<p>The economic recovery as the globe worked through and emerged from lockdowns last year is visible, with a nearV-recoveryin GDP through the back half of 2020. China has seen aslowdownin its recovery, with more policy support expected; U.S. job numbers have missed expectations multiple times so far this year. There are still pockets of the economy that have failed to recovery as fast as expected, such as family-owned businesses/restaurants.</p>\n<p>Unemployment, GDP, and inflation all factor into forecasts for economic growth, and inflation is posing a larger risk than the other two currently. High inflation, high[er] unemployment, and an economic growth slowdown can create stagflation, such as what was witnessed in the 1970s.Fears of stagflationhave risen through June; while wage stagnation has been fought off by companies raising wages to meet downfalls caused by labor shortages, inflation is driving prices higher - theCPIrose quicker than expectations, reaching its highest level since August 2008, while thePPImirrored that move, helped by supply chain issues across nearly all industries. Companies like PepsiCo (PEP) and Conagra (CAG) are raising prices to combat adverse effects to their operating performances stemming from inflation.</p>\n<p>The market hasn't necessarily reacted to the possibilities of an economic slowdown, and inflation isn't the only factor - Covid-19 is not close to being gone, with the Delta variant surging in non-vaccinated communities and countries.Lockdownshave been re-implemented in parts of Australia, and there's no telling if lockdowns will be needed in other regions if cases continue to spike, and that alone can revert economic growth.</p>\n<p>Peak Valuations</p>\n<p>Arguably one of the most noticeable and most mentioned factor in this list is peak valuations - that is, stocks are in a bubble, or certain groups of stocks are substantially overvalued.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/388dd5417e610209de84d8a86ca86f91\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"351\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Graphic fromBloomberg</span></p>\n<p>February and March marked a time where the markets 'reset' valuations for growth stocks - in particular, SPACs and unprofitable high-growth stocks who soared during 2020 (Goldman Sachs'Non-Profitable Tech Indexreached 393.1 in January 2021, up from 81.7 in March 2020). The SPAC cohort is a mix of heavy speculation and peak valuations, with SPACs rising &gt;100% on rumors of mergers, only to fall &gt;50% following those mergers - Churchill Capital IV (CCIV) and Lucid Motors is the prime example of this. This was a trend of the EV sector in general from January through March, with leaders Tesla (TSLA) and NIO (NIO) shedding over one-third of their value.</p>\n<p>SPACs also mirror some of the exuberance in 2000 - stocks that had that dot-com in the name were able to raise substantial cash via IPOs without much of a proven operating record, and many failed.

First it was March, then May, then June, then September, for when experts would say the crash would come. Has it? No. Will it? Possibly. Is it easy to predict? Hardly. The more you hear people talk about it, the more you see it, the more convincing a possible crash gets - yet it's still nothing to fear. There are unfavorable and unsightly factors in the markets - again, it's still nothing to fear; rather, it's something to keep in mind, prepare for, and ultimately, take advantage of and capitalize. Just like in sports such as basketball and soccer, a great player plays both offense and defense very well, and likewise a great investor can play both the bull and bear runs in the market, and capitalize off of either. A crash should be nothing to fear, when the cards are stacked right and the hedges are placed, as it can offer chances to buy high-quality companies often at large discounts.\nAn Abundance of 'Warnings'\nSimply doing a quick search on Google (GOOG) for \"stock market crash\" or \"stock market crash expert\" returns dozens upon dozens of results of arguments laying out the pending doom of the markets, the arguments behind why the crash is bound to happen, why the crash didn't happen when it was supposed to,etc.; while there are many different 'expert warnings' for such a crash, let's take a look at three different perspectives, from Harry Dent, Jeremy Grantham, and John Hussman.\n\nHarry Denthas warned of an 80% crash coming this fall (a bit on the extreme side it seems, compared to others), saying that \"stocks have no place in investors' portfolios.\" His track record includes calling Japan's 1989 bubble and the dot-com bubble, and Dent is seeing that while investors remain bullish in the longer-term, the economy's recovery isn't the same and \"not as good as it used to be.\" Back in March, he had said that the biggest crash would happen in June, but as we all can see, it did not.\nJeremy Granthamsees that the 2020 Covid-induced crash was a mere blip in the run to the market peak, with the past year shoring up to be the \"classic finale to an 11-year bull market.\" Overvaluation across each market decile, farther than in 2000, while margin and debt peak, and high speculative trading support his warning. He also sees deflating asset prices, such as housing, causing pain as well, as bonds, stocks and real estate have all inflated together.\nJohn Hussmanhas warned that valuations are extreme, and called for the S&P 500 to see 12 years of negative returns ahead and a >60% decline; Hussman's track record includes calling out the dot-com bubble burst and 80% decline, the 2008 crash, and the decade of negative returns following the dot-com bubble. He also warns about speculation on securities that have already seen large appreciation for future growth. One of the key factors that he points out for a likely snapping of this bull run is that \"the mental image in anticipation of a post-pandemic recovery may be more pleasant than the actual recovery itself,\" such that the \"glowing optimism currently built into record valuation extremes could be followed by quite a bit of disappointment.\"\n\nYet they aren't alone, and while track records do show some big crashes, often times they can be wrong far more than they are right, banks are also seeing minimal returns over the decade - Bank of America (BAC) is predicting that the S&P 500 would return an average of just 2% through the decade given the valuation landscape. That, plus other factors, do bring up the possibility of a crash, but with the signs and signals flashing, it shouldn't catch anyone off guard.\nFour Factors\nWhile there are many factors that have caused prior crashes and could cause future ones, four main factors that this current market exhibits that have the potential to cause a crash include: high amounts of speculative trading, slowdown in growth (economic recovery), peak valuations, and low interest rates that rise.\nExcessive Speculation\nSpeculation comes in many forms, but the most recognizable instances of over-exuberant trading and excessive speculation include GameStop's (GME) January short-squeeze frenzy, Archegos' implosion and the crash of Viacom (VIAC), Discovery (DISCA), a basket of Chinese tech stocks including Baidu (BIDU), iQIYI (IQ) and Vipshop(NYSE:VIPS), and others, and the more recent AMC Entertainment (AMC) short squeeze. Dogecoin (DOGE-USD) also erupted in a speculative half social-media, half Elon Musk-fueled run.\nWhile single asset speculation through heavy volume trading not just in shares but in call options has been visible, less visible aspects of excessive speculative have persisted for months, with some surfacing in February or earlier.\n\nMargin debt (above) has risen significantly since 2020's bottoming out, up over 70% to over $850 billion from just $500 billion in early 2020. Robinhood (HOOD), a facilitator of first-time investors entering the market, of which they did in herds during 2020, provided relatively easy access to margin trading, and a flood of new investors and a surge in 'FOMO' helped push both margin debt and the market higher through 2020. While spikes in margin debt have historically preceded both the dot-com and housing bubble bursts (a pre-recessionary indicator), margin debt has spiked during the recent recession, which could signal that more pain is yet to come.\nBack in early February, signs of excess speculation and a push in the ten-year past 1.25%, to me, signaled pain ahead for growth stocks - thatthesisplayed out starting that day, with the NASDAQ falling over 10% through early March. Now, yields are stumbling, with the ten-year dropping below 1.30%, as expectations for a growth slowdown amid a slew of factors including new lockdowns in Australia, rising cases from the Delta variant and higher-than-expected inflation.\nSpeculation combines with other factors, like a growth slowdown and peak valuations, to create frothiness in trading, stretched multiples, and asymmetric risk-reward profiles, creating more risk than reward often.\nGrowth Slowdown\nGraphic fromWeForumvia Statista\nThe economic recovery as the globe worked through and emerged from lockdowns last year is visible, with a nearV-recoveryin GDP through the back half of 2020. China has seen aslowdownin its recovery, with more policy support expected; U.S. job numbers have missed expectations multiple times so far this year. There are still pockets of the economy that have failed to recovery as fast as expected, such as family-owned businesses/restaurants.\nUnemployment, GDP, and inflation all factor into forecasts for economic growth, and inflation is posing a larger risk than the other two currently. High inflation, high[er] unemployment, and an economic growth slowdown can create stagflation, such as what was witnessed in the 1970s.Fears of stagflationhave risen through June; while wage stagnation has been fought off by companies raising wages to meet downfalls caused by labor shortages, inflation is driving prices higher - theCPIrose quicker than expectations, reaching its highest level since August 2008, while thePPImirrored that move, helped by supply chain issues across nearly all industries. Companies like PepsiCo (PEP) and Conagra (CAG) are raising prices to combat adverse effects to their operating performances stemming from inflation.\nThe market hasn't necessarily reacted to the possibilities of an economic slowdown, and inflation isn't the only factor - Covid-19 is not close to being gone, with the Delta variant surging in non-vaccinated communities and countries.Lockdownshave been re-implemented in parts of Australia, and there's no telling if lockdowns will be needed in other regions if cases continue to spike, and that alone can revert economic growth.\nPeak Valuations\nArguably one of the most noticeable and most mentioned factor in this list is peak valuations - that is, stocks are in a bubble, or certain groups of stocks are substantially overvalued.\nGraphic fromBloomberg\nFebruary and March marked a time where the markets 'reset' valuations for growth stocks - in particular, SPACs and unprofitable high-growth stocks who soared during 2020 (Goldman Sachs'Non-Profitable Tech Indexreached 393.1 in January 2021, up from 81.7 in March 2020). The SPAC cohort is a mix of heavy speculation and peak valuations, with SPACs rising >100% on rumors of mergers, only to fall >50% following those mergers - Churchill Capital IV (CCIV) and Lucid Motors is the prime example of this. This was a trend of the EV sector in general from January through March, with leaders Tesla (TSLA) and NIO (NIO) shedding over one-third of their value.\nSPACs also mirror some of the exuberance in 2000 - stocks that had that dot-com in the name were able to raise substantial cash via IPOs without much of a proven operating record, and many failed. Many of the SPACs that have come public in the past year exhibit those same features - a high investor appetite, ability to raise necessary cash from such appetite, multi-billion dollar valuations, and minimal revenues. General IPOs are also red-hot, with hundreds of companies already joining the markets this year, as investor snap them up quickly.\nData byYCharts\nTech stocks that have performed poorly since that 'peak' from January through March include some of those recent IPOs like C3.ai (AI), Lemonade (LMND), Snowflake (SNOW), and others including Appian (APPN) and Fastly (FSLY); aside from Snowflake, which is down 20%, the rest have fallen over 40% from those highs as high P/S multiples reset. On the other hand, CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Zscaler (ZS) have managed to maintain such a high multiple with growing cybersecurity tailwinds, and have performed about flat over the same period. While the former six do still have strong, positive growth prospects, sustaining a high multiple is never guaranteed, and a reset that shocks the market shocks these stocks significantly, as seen in their performance.\nBut these peak valuations also spread to the blue-chips, and to FAANGM - Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), Google (GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT). This basket's PE valuations, on a weighted-by-market-cap basis, sat at 45x earnings in February, pushed higher by Amazon and Apple; at the moment, it sits just above 41.5x. This plays a role in exaggerating the overall S&P PE due to the heavy weighting the group has in the index, which is over 2 standard deviations above its average.\nGraphic fromCurrent Market Valuation\nAnd as a whole, valuations across the market are becoming more stretched, with each decile seeing its most extreme valuations on a PS basis, topping that of 2000. While high-beta, high-multiple stocks (primarily tech) in decline 10 have exceeded their 2000s level in a steep climb, decile 8 and 9 (likely more stable stocks given historical PS of 2x-4x) have seen that ratio double since 2011, with a surge in 2020 taking the deciles far past averages. While the exact components that make up each decile are unknown, are the drivers in place to solidify such a rapid expansion since 2019? For some stocks, possibly, but for others, it's not as likely. It could be down to a combination of high levels of bullishness in the market, FOMO, stimulus and low rates allowing stocks to run higher even with less fundamental backing.\nGraphic fromBusiness Insider\nLow Interest Rates\nThe fourth factor here is low interest rates that begin to rise, which ultimately affect the flow/flood of money into the markets, of which the Fed has supported since 2020. Some experts are seeing that equities in general are exhibiting signs of peak valuations and irrational exuberance, but that can be sustained as long as 'stimulus' in the form of Fed support remains.\nWhen interest rates are kept lower for an extended period, it increases the chances of bubbles being formed in different asset classes. Thus, one of the biggest risks becomes inflation, the risk that the market is currently digesting.\nGraphic fromJP Morgan\nAlthough rates are still low as of right now, the Fed has been facing some different viewpoints as to when it will need to start raising rates to combat inflation.

In fact, investors rushed out of the stock and shares ofSoFi plunged as much as 15% after the release of results.

In addition, the company issued guidance for the second half of 2021 that was&nbsp;below what analysts had predicted.</p>\n<p>We believe the market's reaction toSoFi's numbers is well overblown as both factors, the net loss, as well as the guidance can be attributed to one-time impacts or non-cash items, which we'll explain in more detail below.SoFi's CEO Anthony Noto made it clear on the conference call that the company is accelerating its business across almost every metric. And while it may take some time for investors to understandSoFi's competitive advantage and growth runway, we believe that at current levelsSoFi shares are way oversold.</p>\n<p>This article won't focus on a detailed description of the business, but will highlight the most recent financial results. For a deep-dive into the company's business model, opportunities and risks, go visit&nbsp;our previous article&nbsp;on SoFi.</p>\n<p><b>The Numbers</b></p>\n<p>SoFi reported very strong Q2 financial results:</p>\n<p>Adjusted Revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY, way above management's initial guidance of between 58 to 61% growth, and well above analyst expectations. Furthermore, the company had another quarter of positive EBITDA, which reached $11 million for the quarter, up $35 million YoY from negative ($24) million in Q2 2020.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2326005d2400bf2a6257b4b187d2bc8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"284\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>On an annualized basis,SoFi achieved to bring in $852 million in adjusted net revenue and $61 million in adjusted EBITDA, despite some one-time headwinds in the quarter and alongside aggressive investments in the future growth of the company.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dad9c230f84bb4059516cd54c4a45f45\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"283\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>Most importantly, activity onSoFi's platform is accelerating across all areas.SoFi reported the 8th consecutive quarter of accelerating YoY growth for their total members, which reached 2.56 million for the quarter, up from 1.2 million in the Q2 2020 quarter (representing growth of 113%), and up 12% sequentially from Q1.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb7e3b27b52cca163a823c883e4af0a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"304\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>The quarter also showed continued accelerating YoY growth in Products, which were up 123% to reach 3.7 million.SoFi added more than +2 million products on a YoY comparison, representing 123% YoY growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/024d45093cab2fb40cba8ab7d9bd4744\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>Galileo, their financial technology platform, reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter as the company added 42.9 million new accounts to their financial technology offering.</p>\n<p>Galileo now posted greater than 100% YoY growth for the last four quarters for Galileo. The platform is a key cornerstone forSoFi's future growth and the fact that they are growing triple-digits and, for the first time, crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July, shows that the business not only has significant scale already but also has a real competitive advantage as reflected by the YoY growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1b72ef771e256023ab2cc56f48f9a10\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"281\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>Lastly,SoFi's business is diversifying in a significant way. Overall member growth for the business was driven by significant expansion in the Financial Services segment, withSoFi Invest andSoFi Money more than tripling the number of Financial Services segment products, to nearly 2.7 million, up from approximately 783,000 vs. Q2 2020. In the most recent quarter Financial Services segment products were nearly three times the number of Lending Products which shows how strongly the business is diversifying away from its initial lending arm (notwithstanding that loan originations still increased by a very strong 66% YoY). The 3x greater scale supported to drive a 1.7x increase in the number of products that were cross-bought by members already active on the platform in comparison to Q2 2020, as noted by the CEO during the conference call.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd0fb00ddf2b10ee7226b966df927eb7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"271\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p><b>The Number That Spooked Investors</b></p>\n<p>The one thing that let many investors to sell the stock ofSoFi after the earnings report was that the company reported a significant net loss of $165.3 million compared to a still positive net income of $7.8 million in the prior year quarter. However, as the company&nbsp;explained during the conference call, this was largely due to a one-time item in relation to the business combination with Galileo, as well as non-cash items like stock-based compensation (SBC):</p>\n<blockquote>\n We remeasured our valuation allowance during 2020 as a result of the deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with our acquisition of Galileo, which decreased the valuation allowance by $99.8 million. The absence of that tax benefit, together with significant non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and fair value changes in warrants primarily related to the fair market value ofSoFi stock, were the largest contributors to the current period net loss.\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae29dddc9bc00f8fa31eb7cbee8ca3d5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>In addition to management's remarks, investors should take a closer look atSoFi's income statement, where it becomes clearer what drove the net loss. The&nbsp;SEC filing&nbsp;shows that management's cost management is actually very prudent as non-interest expenses, including investments into technology and products, sales and marketing, as well as operating costs only increased by 45%, 48%, 46% respectively which is much lower than the company's +74% revenue growth. Only general and administrative expenses more than tripled during the quarter. Digging deeper into the SEC filing reveals that the big chunk of G&amp;A expenses came from aforementioned $99.8 million in deferred tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of Galileo, and stock-based compensation as a result of being a public company (see items marked below).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d9473db3f6390b5bfb72b27246d0601\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"409\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0113b16a7131123dee0e6ebaf065ebb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"215\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>If you exclude the one-time item of deferred tax liabilities of $99.8 million, and adjust for three months of SBC with around half of the previous six months SBC expense, thenSoFi's net loss would have only been around negative $(20) million for the quarter (note that this is based on the author's rough estimates and should not be regarded as an accurate reflection of the actual numbers).</p>\n<p>With that back-of-the-envelope calculation in mind, we are not particularly worried about the net loss that was reported for the quarter relative to the strong top-line growth thatSoFi reported.SoFi's numbers clearly indicate that the business is accelerating in growth, diversifying its services rapidly, while we see cross-selling activity ramping up within its customer-base which should provide some important efficiency gains in the future in terms of reduced customer acquisition costs and improved margins. This aspect becomes much clearer when we also take a look at the results from the individual business segments and the respective contribution profit metrics:</p>\n<p><b>1) Lending Segment</b>-SoFi generated adjusted net revenue of $172 million, growing 47% YoY, with a contribution profit of $89 million. The increase was largely driven by personal loan originations, which grew by 188% YoY. In addition, contribution profit (marked below) increased by 80% YoY and respective margins improved to 52% compared to a 42% margin in the prior year quarter - and that was alongside an incremental increase of investment into the business of +$15.3 million for the quarter. Margin improvement was driven by operating efficiencies (e.g. more than 50% of personal loans were fully automated vs. less than 30% one year ago) alongside prudent spending in marketing that has brought cost per funded loan down.</p>\n<p>SoFi highlighted in the conference call that growth in this segment was achieved despite noticeable headwinds in the student loans business from the government's CARES-act prolongation, with $859 million in origination volume in the quarter representing less than half of pre-CARES levels.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf0b085e6372cd1774f4feac9ca4e2d0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"289\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c4af0c2068e800edbbe1728761f863b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15729a0e43c025e7ab40d6017ff0f259\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"148\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p><b>2) Financial Services Segment</b>- net revenue for this segment for the 2nd quarter reached $17.0 million vs. $2.4 million in Q2 2020, representing growth of a mind-blowing 602% YoY. With a 6x growth rate there is not much doubt that the business is successfully attracting customers, while making significant progress also in terms of cross-selling and multi-product-adoption, which will be an important aspect in reducing customer acquisition costs and driving higher lifetime value per customer. Another important aspect is that the incremental YoY revenue increase is offsetting the increased costs attributable to the segment, which was a $8.5 million YoY increase in expenses vs. a $14.6 million increase in revenue vs. Q2 2020, resulting in an improved contribution metric where losses decreased by 20% YoY.</p>\n<p>The Financial Services Segment also showed strong product growth across all offerings as total products in this segment grew by 243% YoY.SoFi doesn't rest on its laurels as the company has just launched a new equity capital markets and advisory business in the second quarter, which will be interesting to watch.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0049b49eeb97244d71a3c9e5e580b1bb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"147\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72aecb1a11aaee4636651095b20bd195\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"181\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p><b>3) Technology Platform</b>- this segment primarily reports results fromSoFi's financial technology offering Galileo, which saw total net revenue increase by 138% YoY reaching $45.3 million vs. $19 million in the prior year quarter. Total Galileo accounts reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter. Galileo also just crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July as noted during the&nbsp;conference call.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c567a3c581104d33cb959ebe63c33606\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"148\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source:SoFi</span></p>\n<p>SoFi is aggressively investing to position Galileo for strong future growth, e.g. by moving operations from on-premise to the cloud, while nearly doubling its headcount and expanding into new geographies. Management mentioned that they are nearing completion of building out a new cloud computing environment for Galileo which is supposed to replace the on premises environment, including the preparation of migrating existing clients to the cloud in Q3. While this contributed to a significant increase in expenses and impacted the resulting contribution profit for this segment,SoFi was still able to show YoY growth in contribution profit of 8%. It is important to see that management is pursuing all efforts to continue to accelerate growth in one of their key differentiating business segments, which Galileo clearly represents. What Amazon did for retail or the cloud with pioneering its AWS offering, could be replicated through Galileo as they are on track to position it as the leading financial technology offering and backbone to the global financial technology industry.</p>\n<p><b>Management Guidance</b></p>\n<p>For the third quarter of 2021SoFi's management expects adjusted net revenue of $245 million to $255 million, representing only around 15% growth vs. the prior year quarter, which is markedly lower than the $270.2M&nbsp;average estimate from two analysts.

The 15% drop in shares is a clear overreaction.\n\nipopba/iStock via Getty Images\nSummary\nSoFi Technologies (SOFI) is a fintech company that offers a multitude of digital financial services to customers under its three key business segments, i.e.:\n1) Lending, which includes personal, home, and student loans;\n2) Financial Services, including savings, spending, investment accounts, as well as various debit and credit card services;\n3) Financial technology, which primarily consists of Galileo, a market-leading financial technology infrastructure provider thatSoFi acquired in May 2020.\nThe company aims to become a one-stop-shop for digital financial services and is well on its way to do so.\nSoFi just reported its first set of financial results since becoming a public company, and results were quite strong for the Q2 2021 quarter:\n\nThe company showed accelerating growth across its usage metrics, most of which grew by >100%;\nRevenues also grew triple-digits at 101% year over year (YoY) to $231.3 million, while adjusted net revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY and came in well above guidance of between 58 to 61% YoY growth;\nGrowth in members and products accelerated as well, all growing by triple-digit percentages, and marking the 8th consecutive quarter of accelerating YoY growth in total members forSoFi.\nIn addition, the company generated $61 million of positive EBITDA over the past 12 months, a significant improvement from the $149 million of losses experienced for the full year of 2019.\n\nBut these numbers were not enough to satisfy investor appetite. In fact, investors rushed out of the stock and shares ofSoFi plunged as much as 15% after the release of results. The stock is now down around -37% over the past 6 months at a market capitalization of around $12 billion.\nData by YCharts\nSeemingly, most of the negative reaction to the Q2 results was based on the fact that the company's net loss increased significantly during the quarter. In addition, the company issued guidance for the second half of 2021 that was below what analysts had predicted.\nWe believe the market's reaction toSoFi's numbers is well overblown as both factors, the net loss, as well as the guidance can be attributed to one-time impacts or non-cash items, which we'll explain in more detail below.SoFi's CEO Anthony Noto made it clear on the conference call that the company is accelerating its business across almost every metric. And while it may take some time for investors to understandSoFi's competitive advantage and growth runway, we believe that at current levelsSoFi shares are way oversold.\nThis article won't focus on a detailed description of the business, but will highlight the most recent financial results. For a deep-dive into the company's business model, opportunities and risks, go visit our previous article on SoFi.\nThe Numbers\nSoFi reported very strong Q2 financial results:\nAdjusted Revenue for the quarter climbed 74% YoY, way above management's initial guidance of between 58 to 61% growth, and well above analyst expectations. Furthermore, the company had another quarter of positive EBITDA, which reached $11 million for the quarter, up $35 million YoY from negative ($24) million in Q2 2020.\nSource:SoFi\nOn an annualized basis,SoFi achieved to bring in $852 million in adjusted net revenue and $61 million in adjusted EBITDA, despite some one-time headwinds in the quarter and alongside aggressive investments in the future growth of the company.\nSource:SoFi\nMost importantly, activity onSoFi's platform is accelerating across all areas.SoFi reported the 8th consecutive quarter of accelerating YoY growth for their total members, which reached 2.56 million for the quarter, up from 1.2 million in the Q2 2020 quarter (representing growth of 113%), and up 12% sequentially from Q1.\nSource:SoFi\nThe quarter also showed continued accelerating YoY growth in Products, which were up 123% to reach 3.7 million.SoFi added more than +2 million products on a YoY comparison, representing 123% YoY growth.\nSource:SoFi\nGalileo, their financial technology platform, reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter as the company added 42.9 million new accounts to their financial technology offering.\nGalileo now posted greater than 100% YoY growth for the last four quarters for Galileo. The platform is a key cornerstone forSoFi's future growth and the fact that they are growing triple-digits and, for the first time, crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July, shows that the business not only has significant scale already but also has a real competitive advantage as reflected by the YoY growth.\nSource:SoFi\nLastly,SoFi's business is diversifying in a significant way. Overall member growth for the business was driven by significant expansion in the Financial Services segment, withSoFi Invest andSoFi Money more than tripling the number of Financial Services segment products, to nearly 2.7 million, up from approximately 783,000 vs. Q2 2020. In the most recent quarter Financial Services segment products were nearly three times the number of Lending Products which shows how strongly the business is diversifying away from its initial lending arm (notwithstanding that loan originations still increased by a very strong 66% YoY). The 3x greater scale supported to drive a 1.7x increase in the number of products that were cross-bought by members already active on the platform in comparison to Q2 2020, as noted by the CEO during the conference call.\nSource:SoFi\nThe Number That Spooked Investors\nThe one thing that let many investors to sell the stock ofSoFi after the earnings report was that the company reported a significant net loss of $165.3 million compared to a still positive net income of $7.8 million in the prior year quarter. However, as the company explained during the conference call, this was largely due to a one-time item in relation to the business combination with Galileo, as well as non-cash items like stock-based compensation (SBC):\n\n We remeasured our valuation allowance during 2020 as a result of the deferred tax liabilities recognized in connection with our acquisition of Galileo, which decreased the valuation allowance by $99.8 million. The absence of that tax benefit, together with significant non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and fair value changes in warrants primarily related to the fair market value ofSoFi stock, were the largest contributors to the current period net loss.\n\nSource:SoFi\nIn addition to management's remarks, investors should take a closer look atSoFi's income statement, where it becomes clearer what drove the net loss. The SEC filing shows that management's cost management is actually very prudent as non-interest expenses, including investments into technology and products, sales and marketing, as well as operating costs only increased by 45%, 48%, 46% respectively which is much lower than the company's +74% revenue growth. Only general and administrative expenses more than tripled during the quarter. Digging deeper into the SEC filing reveals that the big chunk of G&A expenses came from aforementioned $99.8 million in deferred tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of Galileo, and stock-based compensation as a result of being a public company (see items marked below).\n\nSource:SoFi\nIf you exclude the one-time item of deferred tax liabilities of $99.8 million, and adjust for three months of SBC with around half of the previous six months SBC expense, thenSoFi's net loss would have only been around negative $(20) million for the quarter (note that this is based on the author's rough estimates and should not be regarded as an accurate reflection of the actual numbers).\nWith that back-of-the-envelope calculation in mind, we are not particularly worried about the net loss that was reported for the quarter relative to the strong top-line growth thatSoFi reported.SoFi's numbers clearly indicate that the business is accelerating in growth, diversifying its services rapidly, while we see cross-selling activity ramping up within its customer-base which should provide some important efficiency gains in the future in terms of reduced customer acquisition costs and improved margins. This aspect becomes much clearer when we also take a look at the results from the individual business segments and the respective contribution profit metrics:\n1) Lending Segment-SoFi generated adjusted net revenue of $172 million, growing 47% YoY, with a contribution profit of $89 million. The increase was largely driven by personal loan originations, which grew by 188% YoY. In addition, contribution profit (marked below) increased by 80% YoY and respective margins improved to 52% compared to a 42% margin in the prior year quarter - and that was alongside an incremental increase of investment into the business of +$15.3 million for the quarter. Margin improvement was driven by operating efficiencies (e.g. more than 50% of personal loans were fully automated vs. less than 30% one year ago) alongside prudent spending in marketing that has brought cost per funded loan down.\nSoFi highlighted in the conference call that growth in this segment was achieved despite noticeable headwinds in the student loans business from the government's CARES-act prolongation, with $859 million in origination volume in the quarter representing less than half of pre-CARES levels.\n\n\nSource:SoFi\n2) Financial Services Segment- net revenue for this segment for the 2nd quarter reached $17.0 million vs. $2.4 million in Q2 2020, representing growth of a mind-blowing 602% YoY. With a 6x growth rate there is not much doubt that the business is successfully attracting customers, while making significant progress also in terms of cross-selling and multi-product-adoption, which will be an important aspect in reducing customer acquisition costs and driving higher lifetime value per customer. Another important aspect is that the incremental YoY revenue increase is offsetting the increased costs attributable to the segment, which was a $8.5 million YoY increase in expenses vs. a $14.6 million increase in revenue vs. Q2 2020, resulting in an improved contribution metric where losses decreased by 20% YoY.\nThe Financial Services Segment also showed strong product growth across all offerings as total products in this segment grew by 243% YoY.SoFi doesn't rest on its laurels as the company has just launched a new equity capital markets and advisory business in the second quarter, which will be interesting to watch.\n\nSource:SoFi\n3) Technology Platform- this segment primarily reports results fromSoFi's financial technology offering Galileo, which saw total net revenue increase by 138% YoY reaching $45.3 million vs. $19 million in the prior year quarter. Total Galileo accounts reached 79 million accounts, up from 36 million, representing growth of 119% in the quarter. Galileo also just crossed $100 billion of annualized payment volume in July as noted during the conference call.\nSource:SoFi\nSoFi is aggressively investing to position Galileo for strong future growth, e.g. by moving operations from on-premise to the cloud, while nearly doubling its headcount and expanding into new geographies. Management mentioned that they are nearing completion of building out a new cloud computing environment for Galileo which is supposed to replace the on premises environment, including the preparation of migrating existing clients to the cloud in Q3. While this contributed to a significant increase in expenses and impacted the resulting contribution profit for this segment,SoFi was still able to show YoY growth in contribution profit of 8%. It is important to see that management is pursuing all efforts to continue to accelerate growth in one of their key differentiating business segments, which Galileo clearly represents. What Amazon did for retail or the cloud with pioneering its AWS offering, could be replicated through Galileo as they are on track to position it as the leading financial technology offering and backbone to the global financial technology industry.\nManagement Guidance\nFor the third quarter of 2021SoFi's management expects adjusted net revenue of $245 million to $255 million, representing only around 15% growth vs. the prior year quarter, which is markedly lower than the $270.2M average estimate from two analysts. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to come in between negative $(7) million to positive $3 million. The expected top-line growth seems to be quite conservative but has surprised many investors who expected much higher growth rates, especially afterSoFi just reported a +74% growth in the most recent quarter.\nWhile the guidance was a significant factor contributing to the sell-off inSoFi's shares, we believe that investors shouldn't put too much focus on the headlines of „missed\" guidance. The fact thatSoFi is sticking to its initial guidance of adjusted net revenue of $980 million and adjusted EBITDA of positive $27 million is the most important take-away.Management was able to reiterate its guidance despite a significant negative expected planning impact on student loan refinancing revenues of negative $40M following the government's extension of the CARES Act moratorium on student loan payments from Sept. 30, 2021 to Jan. 31, 2022. The company now expects a rebound in the student loan refinancing business early next year while, so far, management had planned for the CARES Act to end on September 30 in its initial guidance. In addition, the company also expects a smaller negative impact from the reduced Technology Platform revenue estimate of $12 million based on the minority stake in APEX thatSoFi bought bac (contribution from the investment ended in January 2021).\nEven despite this significant $40 million negative revenue impact toSoFi's original guidance, plus the originally included $12 million of expected 2021 revenue from the equity investment in APEX, the company did not lower its guidance but was able to reassure investors that the other business segments can outweigh these headwinds, which is a strong validation ofSoFi's diversified business, which will enable the company to maneuver through even difficult periods that may affect one of its business segments from time to time.\nLastly, management pointed out a clear cost management strategy relative to its growth prospects which should re-assure investors that at some point the company will be back to positive net income alongside robust topline growth:\n\n ...we continue invest aggressively in our business to fuel compounding growth, while still delivering profitability to our shareholders. This combination is not easy, but we are committed to contributing around 30% of incremental revenue to the bottom line and reinvest the remaining 70% in bolstering our product innovation to drive decades of compounding growth. Even as we invest aggressively in technology, marketing and people, we continue to realize cost efficiencies, which is beginning to drive real operating leverage. By leveraging cross buying and better gaining realization and targeting we've reduced sales and marketing as a percentage of revenue and customer acquisition cost meaningfully year-over-year.\n\nLastly, investors were also keen to hear any updates on the anticipated Bank Charter thatSoFi is pursuing. CEO Anthony Noto mentioned during the conference call that the company is working closely with the Federal Reserve Bank and the OCC in a „constructive process\", but they also reiterated that there's not a definitive timeline to the process itself - so we are still waiting for an update on the bank charter. As previously reported,SoFi filed for a banking charter in July 2020.SoFi's career postings suggest they are building out senior management and teams for the much-anticipated banking division, includingrecent job postingsin compliance, software engineering or auditing.\nConclusion\nThere was a lot to like inSoFi's first quarterly report as a public company. We believe the sell-off in the company's shares is an overreaction. The muted guidance, or to put it more positively, the fact that management was able to reiterate its initial guidance for FY 2021 despite the significant negative $40 million impact from the prolongation of the CARES act as management no longer expects a tick-up in the student loan financing business in 2021, should actually be seen as a positive sign that the company's business is building up an important diversification of its business as the other business segments can compensate for these headwinds. While there is a risk that the government may continue to prolong the CARES act moratorium, which would negatively impactSoFi's student loan business, the company is now well diversified to outweigh any negative impact, and the set-up also creates some opportunity for upside surprises as we head into 2022, where the company now expects the tick-up in student loan refinancing to happen.\nIn conclusion,SoFi is diversifying its business and is making significant progress in terms of cross-selling and multi-product-adoption amongst its customer base, which will be an important aspect in reducing customer acquisition costs, better margins and driving higher lifetime value per customer. We are encouraged to see how short-term headwinds are compensated by other fast-growing business segments.

Apple registered nearly $40 billion of iPhone sales in its fiscal third quarter, beating Wall Street expectations by an eye-watering $5 billion.\nYet the euphoria quickly turned to disappointment for investors as Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said revenue growth would slow in the September quarter. The “very strong double-digit” growth, Maestri said, won’t match the 36% growth in the June quarter.\nA less favorable foreign exchange impact, normalizing services growth, and supply constraints from the global chip shortage were the culprits, Apple’s finance chief said. The stock took a few bumps in after-hours trading on Wednesday as investors digested those comments.\nRenowned Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives sees it differently and said Apple’s “drop the mic” quarter was the next step in driving the stock to a $3 trillion market cap. China was the star of the show, he said, where sales grew 58% in a region key to the Apple bull thesis. The impact of the chip shortage was neutralized by iPhone and services strength, he added.\nBut it’s the 5G supercycle that could be key to the continuing demand story. A significant proportion of iPhone users have not upgraded their phones in recent years, and the iPhone 13 isn’t far away.\nWhile Apple’s supply warning must not be ignored, it’s worth remembering that the company warned in April that it could take a $3 billion to $4 billion hit from the semiconductor crisis in the third quarter.

According to data fromBTC.comthe level of difficulty to mine the cryptocurrency increased by 6% on Saturday. It’s the first increase in difficulty for Bitcoin miners since the digital currency began to crash in May, according to a report fromDecrypt.\nWhy it’s important:The rate of difficulty has plunged since peaking at a record high in mid-May. The level continued to decrease in June and July after a crackdown on miners in China, causing them to leave the country or sell their mining machines. Chinese miners were responsible for 65% of the Bitcoin network’s hash rate at the time.\nThe largest drop in mining difficulty occurred on July 3 of this year, when the rate fell by 28%. Followed by another drop of 4.81% on July 18.\nWhat’s next:The increasing rate of difficulty reported today indicates more mining machines are back online. The level of difficulty increases as more minors try to earn Bitcoin, which requires computer power to validate transactions on the network. BTC is priced at over $41800 at the time of publication, after marking a low of $28600 on June 22.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":291,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800098617,"gmtCreate":1627264951739,"gmtModify":1703486259427,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like please&nbsp;","listText":"Like please&nbsp;","text":"Like please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/800098617","repostId":"2154593428","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2154593428","pubTimestamp":1627262820,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2154593428?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-26 09:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Disney World Going Back to Masks Again?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2154593428","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"With COVID-19 cases surging sevenfold over the past month, a return to face coverings at Central Florida's theme parks isn't out of the question.","content":"<p>Guests have been enjoying <b>Disney</b>'s (NYSE:DIS) popular Florida theme parks this summer without mask requirements in most circumstances.

Q","content":"<p><i>Does crime pay?</i></p>\n<p>In August 1988, French authorities arrested an American expatriate named&nbsp;<b>Thomas F. Quinn</b>&nbsp;for orchestrating a global securities scheme that defrauded investors out of $500 million.</p>\n<p>As an unapologetic financial miscreant with a lifelong penchant for fraud, the French escapade represented something of a career peak for Quinn, whose flair of swindling took on an astonishing level of organizing that left no corner of the world untouched.</p>\n<p><b>Illusory Assets For Sale:</b>Thomas Francis Quinn was born in Brooklyn in 1932; his father drove a cement truck and his mother was a housewife who made extra money selling clothing and jewelry from the family’s garage.</p>\n<p>Quinn was an altar boy in his childhood and was the first member of his family to pursue higher education, graduating from St. John’s University Law School and passing the bar in 1962.</p>\n<p>Quinn opted to go into business for himself, starting a brokerage firm in New York called&nbsp;<b>Thomas, Williams &amp; Lee.</b>The main focus of this firm became the promotion of&nbsp;<b>Kent Industries,</b>a company that claimed to own Florida property valued at $2 million.</p>\n<p>There was a slight problem —&nbsp;Kent Industries didn’t own anything in the Sunshine State, and this inconvenient fact helped to introduce Quinn to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p>\n<p>Long story short: Quinn received a lifetime banishment from the SEC in 1966 from doing business with brokers and dealers thanks to what the agency defined as his “flagrant fraudulent practices” related to the Kent Industries assets, which the regulator considered to be “almost completely illusory.”</p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was a bit slower in dealing with Quinn, but by 1970 he was sent to jail for six months and was later permanently disbarred from practicing law.</p>\n<p><b>A Job With The Mob:</b>Prior to losing his law license, Quinn gained a partnership in a New York-based securities law firm that set off several alarms among federal law enforcement agencies. Indeed, an FBI report from 1983 recalled this firm’s chief focus was being responsible for the “funds of hoodlum-controlled companies.”</p>\n<p>Quinn was on both the FBI’s and SEC’s respective radars in the early 1980s for his role with two companies,<b>Sundance Gold Mining</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Aquarius Gold Exploration</b>, that claimed to have discovered gold in Suriname. The companies created a flurry of excitement among investors, but an investigation into their operations found a hitherto undeclared connection with the&nbsp;<b>Genovese crime family.</b></p>\n<p>The SEC filed a civil complaint against Quinn in 1983, charging him with fraudulently manipulating and promoting the companies’ stocks.</p>\n<p>Three years later, he reached a settlement with the regulator by agreeing to permanently stay away from anything related to securities.</p>\n<p>The FBI, despite finding Mafia fingerprints in Quinn’s business affairs, declined to press charges against him.</p>\n<p>Realizing that he wore out his welcome in his home country, Quinn and his common-law wife&nbsp;<b>Rochelle Rothfleisch</b>&nbsp;decided to relocate to France and to up his game to an unprecedented operation.</p>\n<p><b>Boiler Room Follies:</b>The circumstances and details of how Quinn built his swindling masterpiece are a bit fuzzy, but it is believed that the scheme was first hatched in 1984 and was coordinated out of his $6 million villa in the south of France.</p>\n<p>Quinn set up an archipelago of offices in several European countries and in Dubai, Jamaica and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, and he gave them phony names that sounded similar to respectable brokerages.</p>\n<p>Each office was staffed with salesmen who were tasked to sell stocks for 20 U.S. corporations to individual investors around the world. The stocks in question were mostly shell companies trading on the over-the-counter exchanges that Quinn picked up for pennies, but they were resold by Quinn’s salesmen at inflated amounts.</p>\n<p>The investors were culled from mailing lists sold by publishing companies and professional organizations, as well as from respondents to advertisements placed in newsletters focused on the over-the-counter markets.</p>\n<p>Quinn’s henchmen would telephone the investors —&nbsp;nearly all of whom were novices to investing —&nbsp;and do a high-pressure sales spiel that, more often than not, resulted in the separation of the gullible targets from their money.</p>\n<p>Quinn’s team aimed at European, Australian, Middle Eastern and Hong Kong neophyte investors. The only country off-limits from this scheme was the U.S. Quinn was already on the FBI’s radar and the last thing he wanted was to give them cause to pursue him anew.</p>\n<p><b>A Temporary Setback:</b>&nbsp;In 1988, Quinn’s arrest in France&nbsp;saw him charged with securities fraud, forgery of administrative documents and the possession of two fake Greek passports. His detention and the subsequent arrest of 20 of his salesmen created a fascinating dilemma for banking and law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.</p>\n<p>For starters, no one could easily figure out where the majority of Quinn’s $500 million in ill-gotten gains wound up.&nbsp;Transfers were traced through banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar, as well as the beleaguered&nbsp;<b>Bank of Credit and Commerce International</b>&nbsp;in Tampa, Florida, which gained national attention as a favored depository for those involved in drug money laundering. But where the money eventually landed was anyone’s guess, and Quinn’s talent for adopting aliases to cover his business tracks confounded investigators.</p>\n<p>Also, it was unclear regarding how many people were swindled. A pair of class-action lawsuits brought out a total of 500 people trying to regain their money, but some observers of this case speculated the number could have been higher — some investors might have seen Quinn’s scam as a means of evading local taxes and foreign currency exchanges and would then have to answer to their authorities if this chicanery came to light.</p>\n<p>The SEC got into the picture because the stocks being sold in the scheme were all U.S. companies. The agency hosted a meeting in Washington D.C.&nbsp;with law enforcement officers and prosecutors from eight European countries and Australia, with the hopes of sorting out the mess. But since no Americans were defrauded in this elaborate charade, Quinn did not face criminal charges in his own country, although the SEC temporarily froze his U.S. assets.</p>\n<p>In France, Quinn was initially released after agreeing to reimburse his French victims but was arrested again when the Swiss government demanded his extradition.</p>\n<p>He came to trial in 1991 and was only sentenced to four years in prison,&nbsp;but his sentence was reduced to include time served and he was extradited to Switzerland.</p>\n<p>His Alpine detention was brief and by the mid-1990s he returned to the U.S. and rented a luxury home in Greenwich, Connecticut, a swanky suburb of New York City.</p>\n<p><b>An Eventual Stumble:</b>One of Quinn’s neighbors in Greenwich was<b>Martin Frankel,</b>a financier with his own addiction to swindling.</p>\n<p>In 1999, the Wall Street Journal used anonymous “people familiar with the matter” to claim Quinn assisted Frankel in his efforts to raise money for a controlled investment fund designed to buy insurance companies —&nbsp;but this turned out to be an embezzlement scam that resulted in Frankel fleeing the U.S. to Germany on a phony passport.</p>\n<p>Frankel was eventually extradited and spent nearly two decades in prison, but Quinn was never charged for being a partner in Frankel’s shenanigans.</p>\n<p>For most of the 1990s and the 2000s, Quinn kept a very low public profile, although law enforcement tracked his travels to such far-flung places as the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.</p>\n<p>In 2004, he made a rare appearance at the Irish Derby as the co-owner of the winning thoroughbred Grey Swallow. Photographs of Quinn with the winning racehorse marked the only time that he was ever photographed in a public gathering. (Copyright restrictions prevent us from reprinting the photograph here, butthis linkon the RTE website shows Quinn, standing second from right, at the conclusion of the championship race.)</p>\n<p>In November 2009, Quinn’s luck finally ran out. On a trip back from Ireland to New York’s JFK International Airport, he was arrested for his role within a ring of embezzlers that sought to defraud a pair of British telecommunications companies out of more than $60 million. The scheme had the global hallmarks of Quinn’s earlier criminal triumph, with funds being disbursed to seven countries across four continents.</p>\n<p>Quinn was immediately jailed upon his arrest and was denied bail because it was feared he would attempt to flee the country. He eventually pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud and, despite exhortations to avoid prison due to health problems, he was sentenced in March 2013 to 84 months in prison. He was released in May 2016.</p>\n<p>What became of Quinn since his release is unknown. No obituary for him has been published, and he would be 89 years old if he is still alive.</p>\n<p>One information-tracking website listed him residing at a Brooklyn address, but the website also listed an accompanying telephone number that is not in service. Any readers who may have information on Quinn’s whereabouts should contact us and we will offer an update on his story.</p>\n<p>Quinn rarely spoke to anyone about his criminal activities.&nbsp;During an investigative session after his final arrest, he reportedly would only answer questions through a series of eyelid blinks. When a reporter sought to interview him in 1995, he demanded his privacy.</p>\n<p>\"Just forget me,\" Quinn said. \"I've got a lot of trouble and a lot of personal grief.

Quinn for orchestrating a global securities scheme that defrauded investors out of $500 million.\nAs an unapologetic financial miscreant with a lifelong penchant for fraud, the French escapade represented something of a career peak for Quinn, whose flair of swindling took on an astonishing level of organizing that left no corner of the world untouched.\nIllusory Assets For Sale:Thomas Francis Quinn was born in Brooklyn in 1932; his father drove a cement truck and his mother was a housewife who made extra money selling clothing and jewelry from the family’s garage.\nQuinn was an altar boy in his childhood and was the first member of his family to pursue higher education, graduating from St. John’s University Law School and passing the bar in 1962.\nQuinn opted to go into business for himself, starting a brokerage firm in New York called Thomas, Williams & Lee.The main focus of this firm became the promotion of Kent Industries,a company that claimed to own Florida property valued at $2 million.\nThere was a slight problem — Kent Industries didn’t own anything in the Sunshine State, and this inconvenient fact helped to introduce Quinn to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).\nLong story short: Quinn received a lifetime banishment from the SEC in 1966 from doing business with brokers and dealers thanks to what the agency defined as his “flagrant fraudulent practices” related to the Kent Industries assets, which the regulator considered to be “almost completely illusory.”\nThe U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was a bit slower in dealing with Quinn, but by 1970 he was sent to jail for six months and was later permanently disbarred from practicing law.\nA Job With The Mob:Prior to losing his law license, Quinn gained a partnership in a New York-based securities law firm that set off several alarms among federal law enforcement agencies. Indeed, an FBI report from 1983 recalled this firm’s chief focus was being responsible for the “funds of hoodlum-controlled companies.”\nQuinn was on both the FBI’s and SEC’s respective radars in the early 1980s for his role with two companies,Sundance Gold Mining and Aquarius Gold Exploration, that claimed to have discovered gold in Suriname. The companies created a flurry of excitement among investors, but an investigation into their operations found a hitherto undeclared connection with the Genovese crime family.\nThe SEC filed a civil complaint against Quinn in 1983, charging him with fraudulently manipulating and promoting the companies’ stocks.\nThree years later, he reached a settlement with the regulator by agreeing to permanently stay away from anything related to securities.\nThe FBI, despite finding Mafia fingerprints in Quinn’s business affairs, declined to press charges against him.\nRealizing that he wore out his welcome in his home country, Quinn and his common-law wife Rochelle Rothfleisch decided to relocate to France and to up his game to an unprecedented operation.\nBoiler Room Follies:The circumstances and details of how Quinn built his swindling masterpiece are a bit fuzzy, but it is believed that the scheme was first hatched in 1984 and was coordinated out of his $6 million villa in the south of France.\nQuinn set up an archipelago of offices in several European countries and in Dubai, Jamaica and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, and he gave them phony names that sounded similar to respectable brokerages.\nEach office was staffed with salesmen who were tasked to sell stocks for 20 U.S. corporations to individual investors around the world. The stocks in question were mostly shell companies trading on the over-the-counter exchanges that Quinn picked up for pennies, but they were resold by Quinn’s salesmen at inflated amounts.\nThe investors were culled from mailing lists sold by publishing companies and professional organizations, as well as from respondents to advertisements placed in newsletters focused on the over-the-counter markets.\nQuinn’s henchmen would telephone the investors — nearly all of whom were novices to investing — and do a high-pressure sales spiel that, more often than not, resulted in the separation of the gullible targets from their money.\nQuinn’s team aimed at European, Australian, Middle Eastern and Hong Kong neophyte investors. The only country off-limits from this scheme was the U.S. Quinn was already on the FBI’s radar and the last thing he wanted was to give them cause to pursue him anew.\nA Temporary Setback: In 1988, Quinn’s arrest in France saw him charged with securities fraud, forgery of administrative documents and the possession of two fake Greek passports. His detention and the subsequent arrest of 20 of his salesmen created a fascinating dilemma for banking and law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.\nFor starters, no one could easily figure out where the majority of Quinn’s $500 million in ill-gotten gains wound up. Transfers were traced through banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar, as well as the beleaguered Bank of Credit and Commerce International in Tampa, Florida, which gained national attention as a favored depository for those involved in drug money laundering. But where the money eventually landed was anyone’s guess, and Quinn’s talent for adopting aliases to cover his business tracks confounded investigators.\nAlso, it was unclear regarding how many people were swindled. A pair of class-action lawsuits brought out a total of 500 people trying to regain their money, but some observers of this case speculated the number could have been higher — some investors might have seen Quinn’s scam as a means of evading local taxes and foreign currency exchanges and would then have to answer to their authorities if this chicanery came to light.\nThe SEC got into the picture because the stocks being sold in the scheme were all U.S. companies. The agency hosted a meeting in Washington D.C. with law enforcement officers and prosecutors from eight European countries and Australia, with the hopes of sorting out the mess. But since no Americans were defrauded in this elaborate charade, Quinn did not face criminal charges in his own country, although the SEC temporarily froze his U.S. assets.\nIn France, Quinn was initially released after agreeing to reimburse his French victims but was arrested again when the Swiss government demanded his extradition.\nHe came to trial in 1991 and was only sentenced to four years in prison, but his sentence was reduced to include time served and he was extradited to Switzerland.\nHis Alpine detention was brief and by the mid-1990s he returned to the U.S. and rented a luxury home in Greenwich, Connecticut, a swanky suburb of New York City.\nAn Eventual Stumble:One of Quinn’s neighbors in Greenwich wasMartin Frankel,a financier with his own addiction to swindling.\nIn 1999, the Wall Street Journal used anonymous “people familiar with the matter” to claim Quinn assisted Frankel in his efforts to raise money for a controlled investment fund designed to buy insurance companies — but this turned out to be an embezzlement scam that resulted in Frankel fleeing the U.S. to Germany on a phony passport.\nFrankel was eventually extradited and spent nearly two decades in prison, but Quinn was never charged for being a partner in Frankel’s shenanigans.\nFor most of the 1990s and the 2000s, Quinn kept a very low public profile, although law enforcement tracked his travels to such far-flung places as the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.\nIn 2004, he made a rare appearance at the Irish Derby as the co-owner of the winning thoroughbred Grey Swallow. Photographs of Quinn with the winning racehorse marked the only time that he was ever photographed in a public gathering. (Copyright restrictions prevent us from reprinting the photograph here, butthis linkon the RTE website shows Quinn, standing second from right, at the conclusion of the championship race.)\nIn November 2009, Quinn’s luck finally ran out. On a trip back from Ireland to New York’s JFK International Airport, he was arrested for his role within a ring of embezzlers that sought to defraud a pair of British telecommunications companies out of more than $60 million. The scheme had the global hallmarks of Quinn’s earlier criminal triumph, with funds being disbursed to seven countries across four continents.\nQuinn was immediately jailed upon his arrest and was denied bail because it was feared he would attempt to flee the country. He eventually pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud and, despite exhortations to avoid prison due to health problems, he was sentenced in March 2013 to 84 months in prison. He was released in May 2016.\nWhat became of Quinn since his release is unknown. No obituary for him has been published, and he would be 89 years old if he is still alive.\nOne information-tracking website listed him residing at a Brooklyn address, but the website also listed an accompanying telephone number that is not in service. Any readers who may have information on Quinn’s whereabouts should contact us and we will offer an update on his story.\nQuinn rarely spoke to anyone about his criminal activities. During an investigative session after his final arrest, he reportedly would only answer questions through a series of eyelid blinks. When a reporter sought to interview him in 1995, he demanded his privacy.\n\"Just forget me,\" Quinn said. \"I've got a lot of trouble and a lot of personal grief. I'm just trying to get on with my life. I'm not in the securities business and never will be again.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":43,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":835331293,"gmtCreate":1629686797312,"gmtModify":1676530099300,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/835331293","repostId":"1124774000","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124774000","pubTimestamp":1629684911,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124774000?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-23 10:15","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Where's the price of Bitcoin going?
