TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":394,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166463200,"gmtCreate":1624023013000,"gmtModify":1703826806223,"author":{"id":"3586571810369892","authorId":"3586571810369892","name":"BaneLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1ecbd9550298b70cfa8a460b1be7d83","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586571810369892","authorIdStr":"3586571810369892"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"hmmm","listText":"hmmm","text":"hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166463200","repostId":"2144791267","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144791267","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624021620,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2144791267?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 21:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Hilton Doubles Down on Las Vegas Growth with Rapidly Expanding Portfolio and Grand Return to the Strip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144791267","media":"Business Wire","summary":"In three years, the global hospitality company has nearly doubled its footprint in the entertainment","content":"<p><i>In three years, the global hospitality company has nearly doubled its footprint in the entertainment capital of the world, poised to support continued recovery of travel with more than 30 hotels in market by the end of 2021</i></p>\n<p><b>LAS VEGAS, Jun 18, 2021</b>--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After revolutionizing the Las Vegas hospitality experience decades ago, Hilton is building on its storied legacy in time for the return to travel by almost doubling its presence in the sought-after global destination over the past three years.</p>\n<p>The company is slated to have more than 30 hotels and over 11,000 rooms across 12 brands in the market by the end of 2021.

This adds to the company’s development pipeline of more than 2,570 hotels around the world* and 105 new hotels totalling more than 16,500 rooms opened in the first quarter, along with achieving strong net unit growth of 5.8%.\nHilton has a storied history in Las Vegas with the former Las Vegas Hilton, once the largest hotel in the world and among the city’s most iconic. The hotel made Hilton the first New York Stock Exchange-listed company to enter the domestic gaming business in 1970 and the first hospitality company to have \"residency\" for top stars as it hosted notable entertainers including Elvis Presley for long runs. With these industry firsts, Hilton helped establish Las Vegas as the prime destination for leisure and business travel it remains today.\nAccording to a recent survey by Hilton, nearly a quarter of Americans surveyed ranked Las Vegas at the top of their must-visit destinations. Hilton is making those travel wish lists a reality for guests, including more than 115 million Hilton Honors members globally, as it expands its presence in the market. With diverse hotel accommodations, offerings and unique amenities coupled with Hilton’s signature hospitality, the company’s growing Las Vegas properties serve every traveler for every trip occasion, backed by an award-winning guest loyalty program.\nWhat’s new in Las Vegas:\nThrough a first-of-its-kind partnership, the reimagined and reconceptualized Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Curio Collection by Hilton offers a relaxed, whimsical design and more than 1,500 chambers and suites providing a distinctly home-away-from-home personalized getaway. The resort oasis also features an exclusive spa, a five-acre pool complex including VIP-style cabanas and daybeds along with a beach club, vibrant live entertainment venues, a state-of-the-art casino and 110,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Guests can also indulge in a world-class portfolio of 12 restaurants and bars including Mediterranean dishes at Chef Todd English’s Olives, Japanese cuisine at Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s Nobu and hand-crafted cocktails at The Shag Room.\nAdditionally, through a historic partnership between Hilton and Genting Group, Resorts World Las Vegas is set to open June 24 and marks the largest multi-brand deal in Hilton’s history. The $4.3 billion development integrates the largest Conrad Hotels & Resorts property in the world, one of the first LXR Hotels & Resorts locations in the U.S. and a marquee Hilton Hotels & Resorts hotel, each offering its own dedicated entrance, lobby and distinct collection of accommodations. In addition, Resorts World Las Vegas is poised to be Hilton’s largest property globally, with 3,500 guest rooms and suites. With its opening, Conrad and LXR will join Waldorf Astoria in the market to make Las Vegas the only U.S. destination housing all three of Hilton’s luxury brands. The first ground-up resort development on the Las Vegas Strip in more than a decade, the property is also conveniently near the Las Vegas Convention Center.\nGuests staying at any of the three hotels can enjoy premium amenities across the Resorts World Las Vegas campus including more than 40 food and beverage outlets, seven unique pool experiences, an expansive next-generation casino floor, over 250,000 square feet of flexible meeting space and a 5,000-capacity theatre that will be home to can’t-miss performances by Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.\nOther updates and recent additions to Hilton’s Las Vegas portfolio include:\n\nWaldorf Astoria Las Vegas – Hilton’s first and most iconic luxury brand brought a new spirit to the Strip in 2018 and continues to deliver graceful service nestled in an oasis of modern luxury and intrigue. The hotel’s award-winning spa, inviting eighth- floor pool deck and gourmet dining experiences, including high tea in the stylish Tea Lounge or craft cocktails with splendid views of the Strip at Skybar, provide unexpected moments for all who visit. An upcoming transformation of the hotel’s guestrooms, meeting space and lobby experience boasts a sleek, contemporary design with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame spectacular views of Las Vegas Boulevard and the surrounding desert landscape.\n\n\nHampton by Hilton Las Vegas Strip South – The property opened on the south end of the Strip in December 2020 and provides easy access to the city for travelers seeking value-driven, best-in-class accommodations. The colorful hotel offers friendly service, an outdoor pool, fitness center and lounge area, along with spacious rooms, complimentary breakfast and free Wi-Fi.\n\n\nHampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Las Vegas Convention Center / Home2 Suites by Hilton Las Vegas Convention Center – The dual-branded hotel opened in August 2020 and is conveniently located across from the Las Vegas Convention Center. The property features a bespoke \"Hello LoVe\" design that celebrates the vibrant, innovative spirit of Las Vegas. Both brands offer complimentary breakfast and free Wi-Fi, and Home2 Suites is pet-friendly, providing an accessible extended stay option for the whole family, pets included.\n\nHilton’s new and upcoming properties will make it easier than ever for Hilton Honors members to earn and redeem Points during their next trip to Las Vegas. Members who book directly through preferred Hilton channels receive exclusive benefits, discounts and rewards, access to industry-leading contactless technology through the Hilton Honors app, and hundreds of ways to earn and redeem Points on free nights, premium merchandise, charitable contributions and unique experiences.\nFor more information, visit https://newsroom.hilton.com/las-vegas.\nAbout Hilton\nHilton (NYSE: HLT) is a leading global hospitality company with a portfolio of 18 world-class brands comprising more than 6,500 properties and more than one million rooms, in 119 countries and territories.

TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":394,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161827047,"gmtCreate":1623919026189,"gmtModify":1703823480675,"author":{"id":"3586571810369892","authorId":"3586571810369892","name":"BaneLim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1ecbd9550298b70cfa8a460b1be7d83","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586571810369892","authorIdStr":"3586571810369892"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"hmmm","listText":"hmmm","text":"hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161827047","repostId":"1138373077","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1138373077","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623915483,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1138373077?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 15:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Walmart: Buy On Weakness For Its Exciting International Growth Prospects","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1138373077","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nWalmart’s international segment is expected to lead the company’s revenue growth in the yea","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Walmart’s international segment is expected to lead the company’s revenue growth in the years ahead.</li>\n <li>The company’s leadership through Flipkart in the rapidly growing India market is expected to be a key competitive advantage as it scales up to compete against Amazon India.</li>\n <li>At the current price, Walmart is not expensive, and offers an attractive entry point for investors to partake in its international growth drivers.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/af09545cba715476092d754f8df38e8a\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"512\"><span>Wolterk/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Investment Thesis</b></p>\n<p>Walmart (WMT) has very exciting growth prospects in its international markets, especially in India where the market is expected to overtake Canada as the second largest international market segment, behind the leader Mexico by 2025. In addition, the company’s astute investment in Flipkart has given it the key leadership in the e-commerce segment in India which is expected to grow rapidly in the years ahead.</p>\n<p><b>Setting the Stage for International Expansion</b></p>\n<p>Walmart has grand ambitions on the international stage. After the completion of the&nbsp;divestiture of Asda and Seiyu&nbsp;last quarter, the company has set its sights on driving its international growth in the faster growing markets. The company also discussed at length its international priorities and opportunities in two recent conferences (DBAccess, andBaird) on how to take its international business to the next level.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/917a0bddc47fb6071bfd416976abe840\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"371\"><span>WMT net sales worldwide by division. Data Source: Company Filings</span></p>\n<p>Walmart’s international sales accounted for about 21.9% of FY 21 revenue. As we could observe from above, WMT’s international business as a whole has been largely stagnant in recent years even though its U.S. operations saw relatively stable and consistent growth. The company’s exit from Seiyu [Japan] and Asda [UK] in order to reallocate capital to its higher growth regions, notably in India and China, is an important step towards aligning its growth priorities and rejuvenating its international business segment. In fact, Walmart had even received pretty nasty press on its operations in Japan, asNikkei Asiaremarked: “Walmart's foreign flops can be attributed largely to tone-deaf management, which failed to take into account local business customs, dietary habits and labor relations, among other glaring oversights.” Notwithstanding the sensational allegations made by the Nikkei, I think WMT has actually performed admirably in its international business as it’s aprofitable segmentfor the company that posted an operating margin of 4.4% in Q1’22, as well as 3% in FY 21, 2.8% in FY 20, and 4% in FY 19, respectively.</p>\n<p><b>Ask Amazon How Hard It Is To Make Money Overseas</b></p>\n<p>In order to understand how difficult it is to make money operating a retail business in international markets with a footprint as large as WMT, investors need to look no further than Amazon (AMZN), notwithstanding its focus on the e-commerce segment.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f155f05bf035f522fff05f7c5802740\" tg-width=\"849\" tg-height=\"525\"><span>AMZN annual Operating income by segment.

However, due to the 30% transactions restriction cap placed on all third-party payment apps that include PhonePe by the authority [NPCI] on the leaders, PhonePe and Google Pay would need to meet a 2-year deadline to bring down their transactions share to within the 30% cap. In addition, WhatsApp Pay is also expected to play an increasingly important role in this rapidly expanding market and compete against Google Pay and PhonePe. Notwithstanding the cap placed by NPCI, the digital payments market in India is expected to grow from 2,153 trillion rupees in 2020 to 7,092 trillion rupees by 2025 (see below), which would represent a CAGR of 26.9%, thus giving us a high level of confidence that there is ample room for all the major competitors to grow.

In addition, the company’s astute investment in Flipkart has given it the key leadership in the e-commerce segment in India which is expected to grow rapidly in the years ahead.\nSetting the Stage for International Expansion\nWalmart has grand ambitions on the international stage. After the completion of the divestiture of Asda and Seiyu last quarter, the company has set its sights on driving its international growth in the faster growing markets. The company also discussed at length its international priorities and opportunities in two recent conferences (DBAccess, andBaird) on how to take its international business to the next level.\nWMT net sales worldwide by division. Data Source: Company Filings\nWalmart’s international sales accounted for about 21.9% of FY 21 revenue. As we could observe from above, WMT’s international business as a whole has been largely stagnant in recent years even though its U.S. operations saw relatively stable and consistent growth. The company’s exit from Seiyu [Japan] and Asda [UK] in order to reallocate capital to its higher growth regions, notably in India and China, is an important step towards aligning its growth priorities and rejuvenating its international business segment. In fact, Walmart had even received pretty nasty press on its operations in Japan, asNikkei Asiaremarked: “Walmart's foreign flops can be attributed largely to tone-deaf management, which failed to take into account local business customs, dietary habits and labor relations, among other glaring oversights.” Notwithstanding the sensational allegations made by the Nikkei, I think WMT has actually performed admirably in its international business as it’s aprofitable segmentfor the company that posted an operating margin of 4.4% in Q1’22, as well as 3% in FY 21, 2.8% in FY 20, and 4% in FY 19, respectively.\nAsk Amazon How Hard It Is To Make Money Overseas\nIn order to understand how difficult it is to make money operating a retail business in international markets with a footprint as large as WMT, investors need to look no further than Amazon (AMZN), notwithstanding its focus on the e-commerce segment.\nAMZN annual Operating income by segment. Data Source: Company Filings\nAMZN quarterly operating income by segment. Data Source: Company Filings\nAs we could observe from the 2 charts above, AMZN’s international segment only recently started to turn an operating profit in Q2’20 after experiencing losses over the last 6 years, even though the North America segment continued to do well.

The rest of its international markets are also expected to grow relatively fast, including the leader Mexico (5Y CAGR: 4.1%).\nWMT projected revenue mean consensus, and YoY growth.

The competitive landscape in China is strongly dominated by Suning Commerce Group, and WMT’s China operations was actually ranked 7th in this survey. Therefore, there is a tremendous amount of sales potential for WMT to make up in order to move up the ranks among China’s retail leaders.\nTotal population in the U.S. and India. Data Source: IMF\nIn the market where it is expected to lead the company's growth: India, this is where the excitement for WMT’s international business really begins. India’s population is expected to grow from 1.324B in 2016 to 1.443B by 2025, which would represent a CAGR of 0.96%, faster than the U.S. population CAGR of 0.47%, that is twice as fast, despite having a population size that’s already 4x larger to start with.\nMarket size of e-commerce industry across India. Data Source: India Brand Equity Foundation; Various sources (Media sources); BCG; Bain & Company; Morgan Stanley\nIndia’s e-commerce industry (WMT’s main channel in India) is expected to grow from just $14B in 2014 to $200B by 2027, which would represent a whopping CAGR of 22.7%, an incredible growth rate.

Data Source: Flipkart; Business Standard\nFlipkart revenue YoY growth. Data Source: Flipkart; Business Standard\nAs we could observe from above, Flipkart’s FY 20 revenue of 346B rupees (equivalent to about $4.72B) has barely scratched the surface considering the market size of India’s e-commerce industry that was worth $64B in 2020. Even though the revenue growth of 12% YoY was an egregious deceleration from the previous year’s 42% YoY growth, the company has managed to reduce its net loss from 38.35B rupees to 31.5B rupees (see below), an improvement of 17% YoY.

UPI has become the dominant payments infrastructure across India with a 73% share of all digital transactions volume as of Feb 21. However, due to the 30% transactions restriction cap placed on all third-party payment apps that include PhonePe by the authority [NPCI] on the leaders, PhonePe and Google Pay would need to meet a 2-year deadline to bring down their transactions share to within the 30% cap.
