tg-height=\"597\"><span>Guirong Hao/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>After the bell last Thursday, we received&nbsp;fiscal Q1 earnings results&nbsp;from BlackBerry (BB). While the company's shares have rallied at times recently, thanks to the retail trading mania, results have been rather poor. For the first quarter of its fiscal 2022 year, BlackBerry announced its lowest three-month revenue number under CEO John Chen. If this name loses the reddit fans that have propped up the stock, shares are likely to head lower as results just aren't there yet.</p>\n<p>If you remember&nbsp;the company's previous earnings report, management discussed back in late March that it had entered negotiations for a potential sale of its patent portfolio. Thus, the revenue forecast for the Licensing segment was essentially reduced for the year, with the following commentary from management&nbsp;on that earnings call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n However, appreciating that it will be useful to have an outlook for modeling purpose, the most conservative scenario in which sales, we modeled that sales does not happen or does not complete, full year licensing revenue will be in the region of $100 million. In this scenario, we assume that negotiation and regulatory review continue for the first half and therefore we expect revenue to be limited in the range of maybe $10 million to $15 million per quarter.\n</blockquote>\n<p>For the quarter, total revenues of $174 million came in about $3 million ahead of Street estimates. However, the composition of the revenue generated was not what many were hoping for. Licensing actually came in at $24 million, much higher than what estimates called for. As management stated&nbsp;on the conference call, some business came in earlier than expected. Just like many recent quarters that we've seen, the pull-forward in this segment made the overall quarter look less bad, and without this extra business, the top line would have easily missed estimates.</p>\n<p>That revenue upside meant that the newly called Cyber Security and IoT segments only represented $150 million. The total on those two business lines was up a paltry $2 million over the prior year period, and down $18 million from Q1 2020. On the call, management said it expects cyber security revenue to come in at the low end of its previous guidance range for the full fiscal year. A good portion of BlackBerry's key metrics also weakened over the prior year period, as detailed in the graphic below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82ba0e5502df8810761def4deddeb053\" tg-width=\"570\" tg-height=\"145\"><span>(Source: Q1 2021 earnings release, linked above)</span></p>\n<p>The year-over-year numbers certainly aren't good, with annual recurring revenue down by $23 million. The dollar-based net retention rate has also dipped by 7 percentage points. Supporters will talk about the growth in the QNX backlog, and BlackBerry management said in the earnings release that this was a 9% year-over-year increase. That seems to be what the graphic is saying, but take a look at what was said in previous press releases (bold emphasis added). The following statements make that year-over-year growth rate seem not true, that this is actually a 5 quarter increase, taking a good chunk of that growth rate away.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Fiscal Q1 2021 Document,linked here:\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n The Company's QNX royalty revenue backlog was approximately $450 million at&nbsp;\n <b>the beginning of the first quarterof fiscal 2021</b>.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Recent QNX release,linked here:\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n BlackBerry also announced that BlackBerry QNX royalty revenue backlog has increased to $490 million at the&nbsp;\n <b>end of its first quarter of fiscal year2022</b>.\n</blockquote>\n<p>With the company's revenue base shrinking to a new low under this CEO, the rest of the income statement didn't look much better. Gross margins fell nearly 4 percentage points, while the operating loss excluding items jumped from $50 million to $62 million. The company matched Street non-GAAP loss estimates at a nickel per share. However, this was again due to a number of items that management excludes that are traditional expenses for companies like this, including stock-based compensation and intangibles amortization.</p>\n<p>For the quarter, cash burn came in at $35 million, $3 million more than the year-ago period. The value of equity on the balance sheet dropped another $48 million, and there is a larger holding value of intangibles and goodwill combined than there is equity. Total deferred revenue dropped again from $294 million to $265 million, which will further impact the company's ability for the top line to grow moving forward. Billings were also down on a year-over-year and sequential basis.</p>\n<p>I mentioned in&nbsp;my previous article&nbsp;that the biggest argument against the name right now is valuation. I compared BlackBerry to IBM (IBM), which itself has had revenue troubles as it transitions its legacy businesses to more current ones. Even if BlackBerry were worth three times IBM on a price to sales basis, BlackBerry would be worth about $10.51 more than a year out. I don't see anything in last week's report that really changes that number, and one could argue my previous revenue growth hope for the following fiscal year now needs to come down a bit. The recent \"reddit rally\" has also pushed the name well above its key technical levels as seen in the chart below (50-day in purple, 200-day in red).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e0060206489ea2bfe405eae34646358\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"275\"><span>(Source: Yahoo!

While the company's shares have rallied at times recently, thanks to the retail trading mania, results have been rather poor. For the first quarter of its fiscal 2022 year, BlackBerry announced its lowest three-month revenue number under CEO John Chen. If this name loses the reddit fans that have propped up the stock, shares are likely to head lower as results just aren't there yet.\nIf you remember the company's previous earnings report, management discussed back in late March that it had entered negotiations for a potential sale of its patent portfolio. Thus, the revenue forecast for the Licensing segment was essentially reduced for the year, with the following commentary from management on that earnings call:\n\n However, appreciating that it will be useful to have an outlook for modeling purpose, the most conservative scenario in which sales, we modeled that sales does not happen or does not complete, full year licensing revenue will be in the region of $100 million. In this scenario, we assume that negotiation and regulatory review continue for the first half and therefore we expect revenue to be limited in the range of maybe $10 million to $15 million per quarter.\n\nFor the quarter, total revenues of $174 million came in about $3 million ahead of Street estimates. However, the composition of the revenue generated was not what many were hoping for. Licensing actually came in at $24 million, much higher than what estimates called for. As management stated on the conference call, some business came in earlier than expected. Just like many recent quarters that we've seen, the pull-forward in this segment made the overall quarter look less bad, and without this extra business, the top line would have easily missed estimates.\nThat revenue upside meant that the newly called Cyber Security and IoT segments only represented $150 million. The total on those two business lines was up a paltry $2 million over the prior year period, and down $18 million from Q1 2020. On the call, management said it expects cyber security revenue to come in at the low end of its previous guidance range for the full fiscal year. A good portion of BlackBerry's key metrics also weakened over the prior year period, as detailed in the graphic below.\n(Source: Q1 2021 earnings release, linked above)\nThe year-over-year numbers certainly aren't good, with annual recurring revenue down by $23 million. The dollar-based net retention rate has also dipped by 7 percentage points. Supporters will talk about the growth in the QNX backlog, and BlackBerry management said in the earnings release that this was a 9% year-over-year increase. That seems to be what the graphic is saying, but take a look at what was said in previous press releases (bold emphasis added).

And shareholders","content":"<p>Hertz Global Holdings is set to emerge from bankruptcy this week at a perfect time. And shareholders stand to gain.</p>\n<p>The rental-car industry is capitalizing on both a domestic travel surge and a vehicle shortage this summer to raise prices. Vacationers are paying $275 a day or more for midsize sport utility vehicles from Hertz in popular locations and $100-a-day rentals are common, double what Hertz was getting in the first quarter. Used-car prices, meanwhile, have surged, benefiting the industry when they sell their fleets.</p>\n<p>“The rental-car market is on fire, and the companies have found pricing discipline,” says Hamzah Mazari, an analyst at Jefferies. “What used to be a dysfunctional oligopoly is now functional.” Hertz (ticker: HTZGQ),Avis Budget Group(CAR), and privately owned Enterprise control about 95% of the domestic market.</p>\n<p>The way to play Hertz is through its current stock, which has nearly doubled, to $7.15, since mid-May. That’s when a group led by Knighthead Capital Management, Certares Management, and&nbsp;Apollo Global Management(APO) won a bidding contest in bankruptcy court for the company. More upside is likely after Hertz exits bankruptcy—expected on June 30, with the new stock trading the next day. Hertz will emerge with little or no net corporate debt, while Avis has about $3.5 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Hertz so Good</b></p>\n<p>Here are the financials projected for Hertz after bankruptcy and what holders of the current shares can expect to receive.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87e9af785bb24c51bf92cacae083ebfd\" tg-width=\"486\" tg-height=\"445\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eaf54c1fdda45b28c0490f9644391c75\" tg-width=\"495\" tg-height=\"325\"></p>\n<p>“Our plan for Hertz is to invest heavily in modernizing the company’s technology and improving the customer experience,” Greg O’Hara, senior managing director and founder of Certares, tells<i>Barron’s</i>. “Along with a right-sized capital structure and favorable economic tailwinds, we can turn Hertz—which has always had a strong brand—into a stronger company, as well.”</p>\n<p>Andy Taylor, managing director at Carronade Capital Management, another firm involved in the restructuring, says, “It’s hard to overstate how well positioned Hertz is coming out of this restructuring. Hertz will emerge with the healthiest balance sheet in the rental-car sector into an unprecedented demand and pricing environment, which should persist through the second half of 2022, given that the industry can’t increase supply due to a 50-year low in auto inventory.”</p>\n<p>Current Hertz shares are due to be exchanged for a package consisting of $1.53 a share in cash, 3% of the stock in the reorganized company, and warrants—a long-term call option—for 18% of the new, postbankruptcy company. Holders of the current Hertz shares could realize $10 to $12 a share, Taylor says.</p>\n<p>The initial trading in new Hertz stock could begin at $13.80, valuing it at $6.5 billion based on about 472 million shares outstanding. There is also $1.5 billion of preferred stock held by Apollo.</p>\n<p>Assume no net debt and Hertz is valued at about nine times projected 2023 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, of $859 million. This projection was made by Hertz management in April and could prove conservative given the strong industry trends.</p>\n<p>Many investors are confused by the package of securities that Hertz holders will get. As noted, holders will get $1.53 a share in cash, new stock, and warrants for each current Hertz share. The stock portion could be worth about $1.25 for a current Hertz share, based on the estimated issuance to Hertz holders of 14 million new shares, or nearly one-10th of a new share for each current Hertz share.</p>\n<p>Current Hertz holders are expected to get nearly two-thirds of a warrant for each share with a strike price of $6.5 billion of new equity value, or $13.80 a share based on the new stock. The warrant is expected to account for the bulk of the package value.</p>\n<p>The warrants are tricky to value. Their maturity of 30 years—most warrants mature in less than 10 years—makes them valuable. Based on option pricing models, each could trade around $8, assuming a stock price of $14, meaning that holders would get roughly $5 in warrant value.</p>\n<p>Using these assumptions, the package of cash, stock, and warrants could be worth about $8 per current Hertz share: $1.53 a share in cash, $1.25 in stock, and $5 of warrants—a premium to the current stock price. If new Hertz gains, there would be additional upside. The risk is a lower price on the new stock and warrants.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/453ca2eefa14ff02294b40de478f515f\" tg-width=\"953\" tg-height=\"632\"></p>\n<p>The biggest risk that investors face is if the industry’s discipline crumbles when the car shortage eases. Yet Hertz and Avis cut their fleets in the pandemic and have been slow to rebuild them as auto makers prioritize sales of vehicles to dealers. Hertz’s U.S. fleet stood at 292,000 on March 31, down from 519,000 a year earlier.</p>\n<p>One potential spark for Hertz would be a deal to sell cars to a large used-car retailer. There has been talk about a possible deal between Hertz and&nbsp;Carvana(CVNA), which would help Hertz on used-car sales and give Carvana a regular supply of vehicles. Carvana and Hertz did not respond to requests for comment.</p>\n<p>Like its old ad slogan, Hertz puts investors “in the driver’s seat” in a rapidly improving industry.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Hertz Is About to Exit Bankruptcy.

Hertz will emerge with little or no net corporate debt, while Avis has about $3.5 billion.\nHertz so Good\nHere are the financials projected for Hertz after bankruptcy and what holders of the current shares can expect to receive.\n\n“Our plan for Hertz is to invest heavily in modernizing the company’s technology and improving the customer experience,” Greg O’Hara, senior managing director and founder of Certares, tellsBarron’s. “Along with a right-sized capital structure and favorable economic tailwinds, we can turn Hertz—which has always had a strong brand—into a stronger company, as well.”\nAndy Taylor, managing director at Carronade Capital Management, another firm involved in the restructuring, says, “It’s hard to overstate how well positioned Hertz is coming out of this restructuring. Hertz will emerge with the healthiest balance sheet in the rental-car sector into an unprecedented demand and pricing environment, which should persist through the second half of 2022, given that the industry can’t increase supply due to a 50-year low in auto inventory.”\nCurrent Hertz shares are due to be exchanged for a package consisting of $1.53 a share in cash, 3% of the stock in the reorganized company, and warrants—a long-term call option—for 18% of the new, postbankruptcy company. Holders of the current Hertz shares could realize $10 to $12 a share, Taylor says.\nThe initial trading in new Hertz stock could begin at $13.80, valuing it at $6.5 billion based on about 472 million shares outstanding. There is also $1.5 billion of preferred stock held by Apollo.\nAssume no net debt and Hertz is valued at about nine times projected 2023 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, of $859 million. This projection was made by Hertz management in April and could prove conservative given the strong industry trends.\nMany investors are confused by the package of securities that Hertz holders will get. As noted, holders will get $1.53 a share in cash, new stock, and warrants for each current Hertz share. The stock portion could be worth about $1.25 for a current Hertz share, based on the estimated issuance to Hertz holders of 14 million new shares, or nearly one-10th of a new share for each current Hertz share.\nCurrent Hertz holders are expected to get nearly two-thirds of a warrant for each share with a strike price of $6.5 billion of new equity value, or $13.80 a share based on the new stock. The warrant is expected to account for the bulk of the package value.\nThe warrants are tricky to value. Their maturity of 30 years—most warrants mature in less than 10 years—makes them valuable. Based on option pricing models, each could trade around $8, assuming a stock price of $14, meaning that holders would get roughly $5 in warrant value.\nUsing these assumptions, the package of cash, stock, and warrants could be worth about $8 per current Hertz share: $1.53 a share in cash, $1.25 in stock, and $5 of warrants—a premium to the current stock price. If new Hertz gains, there would be additional upside. The risk is a lower price on the new stock and warrants.\n\nThe biggest risk that investors face is if the industry’s discipline crumbles when the car shortage eases. Yet Hertz and Avis cut their fleets in the pandemic and have been slow to rebuild them as auto makers prioritize sales of vehicles to dealers. Hertz’s U.S. fleet stood at 292,000 on March 31, down from 519,000 a year earlier.\nOne potential spark for Hertz would be a deal to sell cars to a large used-car retailer. There has been talk about a possible deal between Hertz and Carvana(CVNA), which would help Hertz on used-car sales and give Carvana a regular supply of vehicles. Carvana and Hertz did not respond to requests for comment.\nLike its old ad slogan, Hertz puts investors “in the driver’s seat” in a rapidly improving industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":88,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127988279,"gmtCreate":1624815645891,"gmtModify":1703845489531,"author":{"id":"3586669922840487","authorId":"3586669922840487","name":"Nigelyhz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb21d0809f57cdc597f61c1afb31d50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586669922840487","authorIdStr":"3586669922840487"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

And shareholders stand to gain.\nThe rental-car industry is capitalizing on both a domestic travel surge and a vehicle shortage this summer to raise prices. Vacationers are paying $275 a day or more for midsize sport utility vehicles from Hertz in popular locations and $100-a-day rentals are common, double what Hertz was getting in the first quarter. Used-car prices, meanwhile, have surged, benefiting the industry when they sell their fleets.\n“The rental-car market is on fire, and the companies have found pricing discipline,” says Hamzah Mazari, an analyst at Jefferies. “What used to be a dysfunctional oligopoly is now functional.” Hertz (ticker: HTZGQ),Avis Budget Group(CAR), and privately owned Enterprise control about 95% of the domestic market.\nThe way to play Hertz is through its current stock, which has nearly doubled, to $7.15, since mid-May. That’s when a group led by Knighthead Capital Management, Certares Management, and Apollo Global Management(APO) won a bidding contest in bankruptcy court for the company. More upside is likely after Hertz exits bankruptcy—expected on June 30, with the new stock trading the next day. Hertz will emerge with little or no net corporate debt, while Avis has about $3.5 billion.\nHertz so Good\nHere are the financials projected for Hertz after bankruptcy and what holders of the current shares can expect to receive.\n\n“Our plan for Hertz is to invest heavily in modernizing the company’s technology and improving the customer experience,” Greg O’Hara, senior managing director and founder of Certares, tellsBarron’s. “Along with a right-sized capital structure and favorable economic tailwinds, we can turn Hertz—which has always had a strong brand—into a stronger company, as well.”\nAndy Taylor, managing director at Carronade Capital Management, another firm involved in the restructuring, says, “It’s hard to overstate how well positioned Hertz is coming out of this restructuring. Hertz will emerge with the healthiest balance sheet in the rental-car sector into an unprecedented demand and pricing environment, which should persist through the second half of 2022, given that the industry can’t increase supply due to a 50-year low in auto inventory.”\nCurrent Hertz shares are due to be exchanged for a package consisting of $1.53 a share in cash, 3% of the stock in the reorganized company, and warrants—a long-term call option—for 18% of the new, postbankruptcy company. Holders of the current Hertz shares could realize $10 to $12 a share, Taylor says.\nThe initial trading in new Hertz stock could begin at $13.80, valuing it at $6.5 billion based on about 472 million shares outstanding. There is also $1.5 billion of preferred stock held by Apollo.\nAssume no net debt and Hertz is valued at about nine times projected 2023 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, of $859 million. This projection was made by Hertz management in April and could prove conservative given the strong industry trends.\nMany investors are confused by the package of securities that Hertz holders will get. As noted, holders will get $1.53 a share in cash, new stock, and warrants for each current Hertz share. The stock portion could be worth about $1.25 for a current Hertz share, based on the estimated issuance to Hertz holders of 14 million new shares, or nearly one-10th of a new share for each current Hertz share.\nCurrent Hertz holders are expected to get nearly two-thirds of a warrant for each share with a strike price of $6.5 billion of new equity value, or $13.80 a share based on the new stock. The warrant is expected to account for the bulk of the package value.\nThe warrants are tricky to value. Their maturity of 30 years—most warrants mature in less than 10 years—makes them valuable. Based on option pricing models, each could trade around $8, assuming a stock price of $14, meaning that holders would get roughly $5 in warrant value.\nUsing these assumptions, the package of cash, stock, and warrants could be worth about $8 per current Hertz share: $1.53 a share in cash, $1.25 in stock, and $5 of warrants—a premium to the current stock price. If new Hertz gains, there would be additional upside. The risk is a lower price on the new stock and warrants.\n\nThe biggest risk that investors face is if the industry’s discipline crumbles when the car shortage eases. Yet Hertz and Avis cut their fleets in the pandemic and have been slow to rebuild them as auto makers prioritize sales of vehicles to dealers. Hertz’s U.S. fleet stood at 292,000 on March 31, down from 519,000 a year earlier.\nOne potential spark for Hertz would be a deal to sell cars to a large used-car retailer. There has been talk about a possible deal between Hertz and Carvana(CVNA), which would help Hertz on used-car sales and give Carvana a regular supply of vehicles. Carvana and Hertz did not respond to requests for comment.\nLike its old ad slogan, Hertz puts investors “in the driver’s seat” in a rapidly improving industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":88,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168494922,"gmtCreate":1623980296666,"gmtModify":1703825354062,"author":{"id":"3586669922840487","authorId":"3586669922840487","name":"Nigelyhz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb21d0809f57cdc597f61c1afb31d50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586669922840487","authorIdStr":"3586669922840487"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/168494922","repostId":"1148576248","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148576248","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623979883,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148576248?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 09:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NIO Is Winning","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148576248","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"NIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.The company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.NIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is trading at a discount.NIO Inc.  stands out for its strong market position- #1 market share in electric SUV in China- and innovation in the rapidly growing and highly competitive electric vehicle industry.

This is the same perception issue that Japanese companies faced following their defeat after WW2. Japan solved this problem by moving up the value chain as their economy matured and creating high-quality brands such as Sony(NYSE:SONY). Today, Japan is known for its craftsmanship.</p>\n<p>China is following the same trajectory, and NIO is one of the emerging brands destroying the perception that \"made in China\" equates to poor quality. I strongly believe that investors who stubbornly hold on to that old perception will miss out on investing in some of the greatest brands the world will ever see.</p>\n<p>Buying an NIO car means much more than just getting a vehicle; it means getting into an exclusive club of services and convenience. Benefits include access to hundreds of swapping stations, lifetime free roadside rescue (including charge vans), lifetime free cellular connectivity, lifetime free warranty, and excellent customer service. This is a powerful selling point for NIO, differentiating it from Tesla, which hasrecentlydeveloped a poor reputation on the customer service front in China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a73482aa0431694b760ab5c2d0aa6f53\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"211\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company</span></p>\n<p>The company is pushing the envelope even further with&nbsp;NIO House, a literal clubhouse for customers, and&nbsp;NIO Life, which includes NIO branded lifestyle products. NIO's effort to build a lifestyle around its cars seems to be&nbsp;working. This is good news for investors because the only way to escape the competitive battlefield of automobile OEM is to sell services and lifestyles to customers. This is why Ferrari's (RACE) operating margin is well over 20%, while Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) are in the single digits.</p>\n<p><b>Financials &amp; Valuation</b></p>\n<p>NIO is in hyper-growth mode. In 2020, the company generated $2.5 billion in revenue, up 126% y/y. In 2021, the company is expected to grow 117% y/y to $5.4 billion.</p>\n<p>The company is not yet profitable but is expected to be by 2022. Gross margin only turned positive in 2020 and is expected to be 19.3% in 2021. EBITDA is expected to be negative $258 million in 2021 and a positive $206 million in 2022. Free cash flow is expected to be negative $42 million in 2021 before turning to a positive $354 million in 2022.</p>\n<p>However, despite the cash burn expected in 2021, investors should feel at ease since the company exited&nbsp;2020&nbsp;with $5.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents. Including $600 million in short-term investments and subtracting ~$2.1 billion in debt and operating leases and the expected negative free cash flow in 2021, NIO should exit 2021 with over $4 billion in net cash and investments. That is plenty of buffers since NIO is expected to generate positive free cash flow in 2022.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is not yet profitable, we will look at the forward EV/Sales multiple as is typical for hyper-growth companies not yet generating a profit. The company went public in September 2018, trading at around 7 to 8 times EV/Sales, before bottoming out at around 0.7 times sales in May 2019. The market, however, caught the EV fever in April 2020 and sent NIO's valuation soaring to a peak of 14.6x by January 2021. After the growth sell-off we recently experienced, NIO is currently sitting at a much more reasonable 8 times forward sales. This is a significant discount to TSLA's 10.2 times forward EV/Sales despite growing twice as fast (TSLA is expected to grow revenues by 57% in 2021 compared to NIO's 117%).</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>There are many risks associated with owning NIO.</p>\n<p>Although its battery swapping strategy is highly differentiated and seems to be growing rapidly, the jury is still out on the ultimate market share of battery swapping or fast-charging infrastructure. If fast charging technology continues to advance significantly, it will likely erode a key advantage of battery swapping: speed.</p>\n<p>NIO's business model is innovative and new. Unfortunately, the flip side of that is that it is untested, and NIO remains unprofitable. For many investors, NIO will remain a \"show me\" story until the profitability of its business model improves.</p>\n<p>NIO's ability to expand globally may be limited by the rising geopolitical tension between China and the US, and to a lesser extent, with Japan and Europe. The geopolitical situation remains highly opaque and uncertain, and is a risk factor for all auto OEMs.</p>\n<p>Auto OEMs are currently facing a severe chip&nbsp;shortage. In addition, the chip density in automobiles is increasing, making the OEMs increasingly reliant on semiconductor suppliers and foundries.</p>\n<p>NIO's competitive advantages may not overcome the massive scale advantage of ICE OEMs and much bigger EV players like Tesla and China's BYD.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>NIO's technical and business model innovations make it a highly differentiated company in the exciting and rapidly growing EV market. The company is winning, and its competitive moat is getting bigger as its ecosystem of vehicles and services grows. Relative to the industry leader, Tesla, NIO's stock price seems like a bargain given its faster growth rate and lower multiples.</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>NIO Is Winning</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\">\nNIO Is Winning\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-18 09:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nNIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.\nThe company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.\nNIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO":"蔚来"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1148576248","content_text":"Summary\n\nNIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.\nThe company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.\nNIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is trading at a discount.\n\nPonyWang/E+ via Getty Images\nNIO Inc.

Today, Japan is known for its craftsmanship.\nChina is following the same trajectory, and NIO is one of the emerging brands destroying the perception that \"made in China\" equates to poor quality. I strongly believe that investors who stubbornly hold on to that old perception will miss out on investing in some of the greatest brands the world will ever see.\nBuying an NIO car means much more than just getting a vehicle; it means getting into an exclusive club of services and convenience. Benefits include access to hundreds of swapping stations, lifetime free roadside rescue (including charge vans), lifetime free cellular connectivity, lifetime free warranty, and excellent customer service. This is a powerful selling point for NIO, differentiating it from Tesla, which hasrecentlydeveloped a poor reputation on the customer service front in China.\nSource: Company\nThe company is pushing the envelope even further with NIO House, a literal clubhouse for customers, and NIO Life, which includes NIO branded lifestyle products. NIO's effort to build a lifestyle around its cars seems to be working. This is good news for investors because the only way to escape the competitive battlefield of automobile OEM is to sell services and lifestyles to customers. This is why Ferrari's (RACE) operating margin is well over 20%, while Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) are in the single digits.\nFinancials & Valuation\nNIO is in hyper-growth mode. In 2020, the company generated $2.5 billion in revenue, up 126% y/y. In 2021, the company is expected to grow 117% y/y to $5.4 billion.\nThe company is not yet profitable but is expected to be by 2022. Gross margin only turned positive in 2020 and is expected to be 19.3% in 2021. EBITDA is expected to be negative $258 million in 2021 and a positive $206 million in 2022. Free cash flow is expected to be negative $42 million in 2021 before turning to a positive $354 million in 2022.\nHowever, despite the cash burn expected in 2021, investors should feel at ease since the company exited 2020 with $5.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents. Including $600 million in short-term investments and subtracting ~$2.1 billion in debt and operating leases and the expected negative free cash flow in 2021, NIO should exit 2021 with over $4 billion in net cash and investments. That is plenty of buffers since NIO is expected to generate positive free cash flow in 2022.\nSince NIO is not yet profitable, we will look at the forward EV/Sales multiple as is typical for hyper-growth companies not yet generating a profit. The company went public in September 2018, trading at around 7 to 8 times EV/Sales, before bottoming out at around 0.7 times sales in May 2019. The market, however, caught the EV fever in April 2020 and sent NIO's valuation soaring to a peak of 14.6x by January 2021. After the growth sell-off we recently experienced, NIO is currently sitting at a much more reasonable 8 times forward sales. This is a significant discount to TSLA's 10.2 times forward EV/Sales despite growing twice as fast (TSLA is expected to grow revenues by 57% in 2021 compared to NIO's 117%).\nRisks\nThere are many risks associated with owning NIO.\nAlthough its battery swapping strategy is highly differentiated and seems to be growing rapidly, the jury is still out on the ultimate market share of battery swapping or fast-charging infrastructure. If fast charging technology continues to advance significantly, it will likely erode a key advantage of battery swapping: speed.\nNIO's business model is innovative and new. Unfortunately, the flip side of that is that it is untested, and NIO remains unprofitable. For many investors, NIO will remain a \"show me\" story until the profitability of its business model improves.\nNIO's ability to expand globally may be limited by the rising geopolitical tension between China and the US, and to a lesser extent, with Japan and Europe. The geopolitical situation remains highly opaque and uncertain, and is a risk factor for all auto OEMs.\nAuto OEMs are currently facing a severe chip shortage. In addition, the chip density in automobiles is increasing, making the OEMs increasingly reliant on semiconductor suppliers and foundries.\nNIO's competitive advantages may not overcome the massive scale advantage of ICE OEMs and much bigger EV players like Tesla and China's BYD.\nTakeaway\nNIO's technical and business model innovations make it a highly differentiated company in the exciting and rapidly growing EV market. The company is winning, and its competitive moat is getting bigger as its ecosystem of vehicles and services grows. Relative to the industry leader, Tesla, NIO's stock price seems like a bargain given its faster growth rate and lower multiples.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":84,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807173919,"gmtCreate":1628013920831,"gmtModify":1703499656092,"author":{"id":"3586669922840487","authorId":"3586669922840487","name":"Nigelyhz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb21d0809f57cdc597f61c1afb31d50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586669922840487","authorIdStr":"3586669922840487"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"BONNNN","listText":"BONNNN","text":"BONNNN","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/107f41788511b13912d3337a133e173b","width":"1125","height":"2785"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807173919","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":412,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804588261,"gmtCreate":1627964443253,"gmtModify":1703498739814,"author":{"id":"3586669922840487","authorId":"3586669922840487","name":"Nigelyhz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb21d0809f57cdc597f61c1afb31d50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586669922840487","authorIdStr":"3586669922840487"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Moreeeee","listText":"Moreeeee","text":"Moreeeee","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/804588261","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":296,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":802203334,"gmtCreate":1627780228228,"gmtModify":1703495684572,"author":{"id":"3586669922840487","authorId":"3586669922840487","name":"Nigelyhz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb21d0809f57cdc597f61c1afb31d50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586669922840487","authorIdStr":"3586669922840487"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stonks","listText":"Stonks","text":"Stonks","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09443e9f77bae00d110b9725901b83d6","width":"1125","height":"2713"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/802203334","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806536271,"gmtCreate":1627665757593,"gmtModify":1703494452063,"author":{"id":"3586669922840487","authorId":"3586669922840487","name":"Nigelyhz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb21d0809f57cdc597f61c1afb31d50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586669922840487","authorIdStr":"3586669922840487"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Radar","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161664678","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"You can still pick up lesser-known stocks despite the rabid bullishness\nSource: Shutterstock\nI’m not","content":"<p>You can still pick up lesser-known stocks despite the rabid bullishness</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc87f0082e92d4a6495d38b6514db83e\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"576\"><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p>\n<p>I’m not entirely sure how true this is today. But back in 2015,<i>CNN Business</i>&nbsp;released a report that indicated that the&nbsp;number of individual equity units peaked at 7,652&nbsp;during the summer of 1998. That of course was when speculation was building toward the eventual internet and technology bubble. In 2015, the number eventually slid to 3,812. Still, that’s plenty enough to find hidden gem stocks to buy.</p>\n<p>With multiple initial public offerings (IPOs) — especially from special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) — the number of publicly traded securities has surely grown over the nearly six years since the<i>CNN</i>report went live. Just from statistical realities, it’s just not possible for every equity unit to be bid up with the same level of enthusiasm as the most popular securities. Therefore, even in this crazy bull market, you can find hidden gem stocks.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, the meme stock phenomenon provides an excellent example of the opportunities still available with hidden gem stocks. As you know, coordinated efforts on social media have driven up securities that were left for dead. But as the hordes pile into one name, others tend to shed their newfound valuation spikes. It’s like caring for your plants — if you don’t water them all, some will wither away.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, that doesn’t happen in the equities sector. Instead, they become hidden gem stocks. While they’re not the easiest to find, the market thrives on popular sentiment and momentum. And not every company and brand can receive an equal amount of love. After all, there are only so many resources to go around.</p>\n<p>True, the&nbsp;extreme speculation&nbsp;in the market has made it extraordinarily difficult to find publicly traded securities that haven’t already shot up to the moon. But again, with thousands of opportunities out there, it’s not possible for every bandwagon to be filled to capacity. Here are my ideas for hidden gem stocks to buy.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Tofutti</b>(OTCMTKS:<b><u>TOFB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Fast Retailing</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>FRCOY</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>IBM</b>(NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Scholastic</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SCHL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>P.A.M. Transportation Service</b>s (NASDAQ:<b><u>PTSI</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Kawasaki Heavy Industries</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>KWHIY</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>First Graphene</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>FGPHF</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>For this list, I tried to keep it diverse, with ideas from big blue chips that have gone underappreciated to smaller speculative names that could be the gamechangers of tomorrow. Practice careful money management with these hidden gem stocks and who knows? You might enjoy significant profitability.</p>\n<p><b>Tofutti (TOFB)</b></p>\n<p>To kick things off, I’m going with Tofutti. You might know this brand as the manufacturer of dairy-free soy based ice cream. It’s a brilliant concept because I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like ice cream. And rest assured that you’re terrible person if you don’t (I’m just kidding). However, lactose intolerance is very common in the U.S.</p>\n<p>According to MedlinePlus, a government health resource, about “30 million American adults have some degree of lactose intolerance&nbsp;by age 20.” Further, it goes on to state that every demographic is affected by lactose intolerance to some degree (although the least affected are western or northern Europeans). With the population of this country becoming more diverse, you’d expect that the fundamental narrative for TOFB stock will only improve.</p>\n<p>Better yet, Tofutti isn’t just about ice cream. Instead, the company diversified into other product categories, including various cheeses and frozen foods. To be sure, TOFB stock is on the smaller side of the spectrum, with a market capitalization south of $17 million. Still, with health consciousness increasing in scope, you should look into Tofutti as one of the hidden gem stocks to consider.</p>\n<p><b>Fast Retailing (FRCOY)</b></p>\n<p>When I was watching an interview with Steven Yeun of<i>The Walking Dead</i>fame — I believe it was with Conan O’Brien but don’t quote me on that — he stated that he likes visiting Japan to buy clothing. I thought to myself that this was strange. Why fly all the way over there when you can&nbsp;buy clothes from this guy?</p>\n<p>The reality is that brands under Japan’s Fast Retailing — most notable for its primary subsidiary Uniqlo — fit people hailing or originating from countries in the eastern hemisphere much better than western fashion brands. And I would say that’s really true for American fashion, which is one of the most difficult jobs in the world.</p>\n<p>Think about it: you’ve got a very diverse population so it’s challenging to say what is the size of the average American person. Also,many people here are widening out, which adds to the complexity.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, in the eastern hemisphere, it’s much easier to pinpoint who your average target customer is. Following an expected disruption from the novel coronavirus, FRCOY stock looks to make a comeback with a solid first quarter of 2021 earnings report. This definitely belongs in your list of hidden gem stocks to consider.</p>\n<p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p>\n<p>I’m probably going to face some criticism for this so let’s just address it. How can I possibly put IBM on a list of hidden gem stocks to buy? Yes, it may be an investment that’s worthy of your portfolio. But it’s hardly an unknown asset. I mean, it’s listed among the 30 companies in the&nbsp;<b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b>. I get it.</p>\n<p>At the same time, IBM stock has gained 16% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. This beat out&nbsp;<b>Intel</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>), which is up 14.7% over the same frame. Even more surprising, the toast of Wall Street in the semiconductor space,<b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMD</u></b>), is down nearly 8% for the year. Yet you don’t see too many folks on the mainstream pound the table on Big Blue.</p>\n<p>That’s why I put IBM on this list of hidden gem stocks. They should be pounding the table. Primarily, the company offers incredible acumen across several tech segments, including the blockchain. What I like about IBM blockchain over decentralized platforms is that if you as a client have a problem with it, you can always reach out to IBM.</p>\n<p>Who are you going to talk to in a purely decentralized blockchain? Some miner in Lithuania? Not going to happen. Second, IBM stock has a solid dividend yield, something you don’t want to ignore during these uncertain times.</p>\n<p><b>Scholastic (SCHL)</b></p>\n<p>Likely on the very edge of being considered one of the hidden gem stocks because of its incredible performance, I’m still going to stick Scholastic in here simply because education-related equity units will be super-relevant moving forward. But yes, the performance is outrageous. On a YTD basis, SCHL stock gained almost 55%. Not bad for a company specializing in schoolbooks.</p>\n<p>Of course, because of the Covid-19 crisis, the nature of education encountered an unexpected paradigm shift. Suddenly, online learning protocols became all the rage. This had negative implications for SCHL but the real question was this: is online learning truly effective?</p>\n<p>As with anything, much debate surrounds the issue. Christine Greenhow, associate professor of educational technology in the College of Education at Michigan State University stated that “Online learning can be as good or even better&nbsp;than in-person classroom learning…but it has to be done right.” On the other hand, a columnist for the University of Alabama opined that&nbsp;face-to-face learning is superior, especially once realizing the realities of online learning due to Covid-19.”</p>\n<p>Personally, I believe face-to-face learning will make a big comeback and that should put SCHL in the driver’s seat.</p>\n<p><b>P.A.M. Transportation Services (PTSI)</b></p>\n<p>One of the riskier hidden gem stocks, P.A.M. Transportation Services is likely a company in the namesake industry that you probably haven’t heard of. According to its website, P.A.M. provides “nationwide dry van truckload, expedited truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to the manufacturing, retail, and automotive industries.” As well, it runs irregular routes, with these attributes providing an intriguing case for PTSI stock.</p>\n<p>First, according to the&nbsp;<b>Dow Jones Transportation Average</b>, the&nbsp;underlying sector is red hot. The benchmark index recently hit an all-time high and still remains incredibly elevated. Sure enough, PTSI stock is up nearly 20% YTD and up almost 84% over the trailing year. As the country gradually recovers from the Covid-19 crisis, it’s possible that the transportation sector can run even higher.</p>\n<p>On a side note, P.A.M.’s automotive transportation services business should perform well considering that car sales have gone ballistic, particularly in the used-car market.</p>\n<p>Second, the irregular route specialty may come in handy as millennials who are desperate to buy a home in this crazy environment choose neighborhoods that are off the beaten path. Thanks to the shift toward remote work, these lesser-known neighborhoods are now on the radar.</p>\n<p>Of course, when a sector is red hot, it may signal a possible correction. Therefore, approach PTSI carefully.</p>\n<p><b>Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KWHIY)</b></p>\n<p>For the last two corporations on this list of hidden gem stocks, I’m going to go off on the highly speculative route. Before you place an objection about it, just note that I’m giving you fair warning ahead of time. To lead off, I’ll begin with the least risky of the speculative names, Kawasaki Heavy Industries.</p>\n<p>For you riding enthusiasts, you’ll know Kawasaki as the manufacturer of the famous Ninja brand of motorcycles. Additionally, the company makes off-road vehicles and jet skis. But you may be surprised to learn that Kawasaki is roughly the equivalent of Japan’s&nbsp;<b>General Electric</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GE</u></b>), with influence on several industries, including robotics, construction, material handling and oil and gas facilities.</p>\n<p>But the area I’m focusing on is defense and security. As an island nation, Japan has a rather formidable maritime security infrastructure and that’s in no small part to Kawasaki. With the Pacific theater already a hot bed of geopolitical tension and with relations unlikely to improve, the cynical business narrative for KWHIY stock could dramatically improve.</p>\n<p>But the problem is, it better. The Covid-19 crisis negatively affected Kawasaki. From recent revenue trends, it appears that the company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 will be down double digits against the year-ago comparison.</p>\n<p><b>First Graphene (FGPHF)</b></p>\n<p>Easily the riskiest hidden gem stocks on this list, First Graphene also has the biggest potential. Headquartered in Australia, its geographic location is one hidden gem that many folks don’t appreciate. There are plenty of opportunities in the&nbsp;<b>Australian Securities Exchange</b>&nbsp;that you should look into if you have access to foreign equity units.</p>\n<p>If not, you’re in luck with FGPHF stock. Underlining this security is in my opinion a company that can spark the most profound paradigm shift across all industries. Specializing in the research and development of the namesake graphene, this physics miracle is the&nbsp;thinnest material known to exist. Basically, graphene is a two-dimensional object, which is difficult to conceptualize. But it’s also&nbsp;200-times stronger than steel.</p>\n<p>These attributes have tremendous implications as additives to enhance resilience and durability for construction materials.

But back in 2015,CNN Business released a report that indicated that the number of individual equity units peaked at 7,652 during the summer of 1998. That of course was when speculation was building toward the eventual internet and technology bubble. In 2015, the number eventually slid to 3,812. Still, that’s plenty enough to find hidden gem stocks to buy.\nWith multiple initial public offerings (IPOs) — especially from special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) — the number of publicly traded securities has surely grown over the nearly six years since theCNNreport went live. Just from statistical realities, it’s just not possible for every equity unit to be bid up with the same level of enthusiasm as the most popular securities. Therefore, even in this crazy bull market, you can find hidden gem stocks.\nInterestingly, the meme stock phenomenon provides an excellent example of the opportunities still available with hidden gem stocks. As you know, coordinated efforts on social media have driven up securities that were left for dead. But as the hordes pile into one name, others tend to shed their newfound valuation spikes. It’s like caring for your plants — if you don’t water them all, some will wither away.\nFortunately, that doesn’t happen in the equities sector. Instead, they become hidden gem stocks. While they’re not the easiest to find, the market thrives on popular sentiment and momentum. And not every company and brand can receive an equal amount of love. After all, there are only so many resources to go around.\nTrue, the extreme speculation in the market has made it extraordinarily difficult to find publicly traded securities that haven’t already shot up to the moon. But again, with thousands of opportunities out there, it’s not possible for every bandwagon to be filled to capacity. Here are my ideas for hidden gem stocks to buy.\n\nTofutti(OTCMTKS:TOFB)\nFast Retailing(OTCMKTS:FRCOY)\nIBM(NYSE:IBM)\nScholastic(NASDAQ:SCHL)\nP.A.M. Transportation Services (NASDAQ:PTSI)\nKawasaki Heavy Industries(OTCMKTS:KWHIY)\nFirst Graphene(OTCMKTS:FGPHF)\n\nFor this list, I tried to keep it diverse, with ideas from big blue chips that have gone underappreciated to smaller speculative names that could be the gamechangers of tomorrow. Practice careful money management with these hidden gem stocks and who knows? You might enjoy significant profitability.\nTofutti (TOFB)\nTo kick things off, I’m going with Tofutti. You might know this brand as the manufacturer of dairy-free soy based ice cream. It’s a brilliant concept because I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like ice cream. And rest assured that you’re terrible person if you don’t (I’m just kidding). However, lactose intolerance is very common in the U.S.\nAccording to MedlinePlus, a government health resource, about “30 million American adults have some degree of lactose intolerance by age 20.” Further, it goes on to state that every demographic is affected by lactose intolerance to some degree (although the least affected are western or northern Europeans). With the population of this country becoming more diverse, you’d expect that the fundamental narrative for TOFB stock will only improve.\nBetter yet, Tofutti isn’t just about ice cream. Instead, the company diversified into other product categories, including various cheeses and frozen foods. To be sure, TOFB stock is on the smaller side of the spectrum, with a market capitalization south of $17 million. Still, with health consciousness increasing in scope, you should look into Tofutti as one of the hidden gem stocks to consider.\nFast Retailing (FRCOY)\nWhen I was watching an interview with Steven Yeun ofThe Walking Deadfame — I believe it was with Conan O’Brien but don’t quote me on that — he stated that he likes visiting Japan to buy clothing. I thought to myself that this was strange. Why fly all the way over there when you can buy clothes from this guy?\nThe reality is that brands under Japan’s Fast Retailing — most notable for its primary subsidiary Uniqlo — fit people hailing or originating from countries in the eastern hemisphere much better than western fashion brands. And I would say that’s really true for American fashion, which is one of the most difficult jobs in the world.\nThink about it: you’ve got a very diverse population so it’s challenging to say what is the size of the average American person. Also,many people here are widening out, which adds to the complexity.\nOn the other hand, in the eastern hemisphere, it’s much easier to pinpoint who your average target customer is. Following an expected disruption from the novel coronavirus, FRCOY stock looks to make a comeback with a solid first quarter of 2021 earnings report. This definitely belongs in your list of hidden gem stocks to consider.\nIBM (IBM)\nI’m probably going to face some criticism for this so let’s just address it. How can I possibly put IBM on a list of hidden gem stocks to buy? Yes, it may be an investment that’s worthy of your portfolio. But it’s hardly an unknown asset. I mean, it’s listed among the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I get it.\nAt the same time, IBM stock has gained 16% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. This beat out Intel(NASDAQ:INTC), which is up 14.7% over the same frame. Even more surprising, the toast of Wall Street in the semiconductor space,Advanced Micro Devices(NASDAQ:AMD), is down nearly 8% for the year. Yet you don’t see too many folks on the mainstream pound the table on Big Blue.\nThat’s why I put IBM on this list of hidden gem stocks. They should be pounding the table. Primarily, the company offers incredible acumen across several tech segments, including the blockchain. What I like about IBM blockchain over decentralized platforms is that if you as a client have a problem with it, you can always reach out to IBM.\nWho are you going to talk to in a purely decentralized blockchain? Some miner in Lithuania? Not going to happen. Second, IBM stock has a solid dividend yield, something you don’t want to ignore during these uncertain times.\nScholastic (SCHL)\nLikely on the very edge of being considered one of the hidden gem stocks because of its incredible performance, I’m still going to stick Scholastic in here simply because education-related equity units will be super-relevant moving forward. But yes, the performance is outrageous. On a YTD basis, SCHL stock gained almost 55%. Not bad for a company specializing in schoolbooks.\nOf course, because of the Covid-19 crisis, the nature of education encountered an unexpected paradigm shift. Suddenly, online learning protocols became all the rage. This had negative implications for SCHL but the real question was this: is online learning truly effective?\nAs with anything, much debate surrounds the issue. Christine Greenhow, associate professor of educational technology in the College of Education at Michigan State University stated that “Online learning can be as good or even better than in-person classroom learning…but it has to be done right.” On the other hand, a columnist for the University of Alabama opined that face-to-face learning is superior, especially once realizing the realities of online learning due to Covid-19.”\nPersonally, I believe face-to-face learning will make a big comeback and that should put SCHL in the driver’s seat.\nP.A.M. Transportation Services (PTSI)\nOne of the riskier hidden gem stocks, P.A.M. Transportation Services is likely a company in the namesake industry that you probably haven’t heard of. According to its website, P.A.M. provides “nationwide dry van truckload, expedited truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to the manufacturing, retail, and automotive industries.” As well, it runs irregular routes, with these attributes providing an intriguing case for PTSI stock.\nFirst, according to the Dow Jones Transportation Average, the underlying sector is red hot. The benchmark index recently hit an all-time high and still remains incredibly elevated. Sure enough, PTSI stock is up nearly 20% YTD and up almost 84% over the trailing year. As the country gradually recovers from the Covid-19 crisis, it’s possible that the transportation sector can run even higher.\nOn a side note, P.A.M.’s automotive transportation services business should perform well considering that car sales have gone ballistic, particularly in the used-car market.\nSecond, the irregular route specialty may come in handy as millennials who are desperate to buy a home in this crazy environment choose neighborhoods that are off the beaten path. Thanks to the shift toward remote work, these lesser-known neighborhoods are now on the radar.\nOf course, when a sector is red hot, it may signal a possible correction. Therefore, approach PTSI carefully.\nKawasaki Heavy Industries (KWHIY)\nFor the last two corporations on this list of hidden gem stocks, I’m going to go off on the highly speculative route. Before you place an objection about it, just note that I’m giving you fair warning ahead of time. To lead off, I’ll begin with the least risky of the speculative names, Kawasaki Heavy Industries.\nFor you riding enthusiasts, you’ll know Kawasaki as the manufacturer of the famous Ninja brand of motorcycles. Additionally, the company makes off-road vehicles and jet skis. But you may be surprised to learn that Kawasaki is roughly the equivalent of Japan’s General Electric(NYSE:GE), with influence on several industries, including robotics, construction, material handling and oil and gas facilities.\nBut the area I’m focusing on is defense and security. As an island nation, Japan has a rather formidable maritime security infrastructure and that’s in no small part to Kawasaki. With the Pacific theater already a hot bed of geopolitical tension and with relations unlikely to improve, the cynical business narrative for KWHIY stock could dramatically improve.\nBut the problem is, it better. The Covid-19 crisis negatively affected Kawasaki. From recent revenue trends, it appears that the company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 will be down double digits against the year-ago comparison.\nFirst Graphene (FGPHF)\nEasily the riskiest hidden gem stocks on this list, First Graphene also has the biggest potential. Headquartered in Australia, its geographic location is one hidden gem that many folks don’t appreciate. There are plenty of opportunities in the Australian Securities Exchange that you should look into if you have access to foreign equity units.\nIf not, you’re in luck with FGPHF stock. Underlining this security is in my opinion a company that can spark the most profound paradigm shift across all industries. Specializing in the research and development of the namesake graphene, this physics miracle is the thinnest material known to exist. Basically, graphene is a two-dimensional object, which is difficult to conceptualize. But it’s also 200-times stronger than steel.\nThese attributes have tremendous implications as additives to enhance resilience and durability for construction materials. Graphene can also play a game-changing role in electric vehicles, catalyzing innovations in battery technology that can deliver range and performance at a reasonable price.\nOf course, the downside of graphene is scientists have long known about its remarkable qualities but no one has been able to convert this into commercially viable applications at scale. Maybe First Graphene will be the first or maybe not. For what it’s worth, it has my speculation funds.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":112,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808955096,"gmtCreate":1627552898115,"gmtModify":1703492220762,"author":{"id":"3586669922840487","authorId":"3586669922840487","name":"Nigelyhz","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fb21d0809f57cdc597f61c1afb31d50","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586669922840487","authorIdStr":"3586669922840487"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

tg-height=\"597\"><span>Guirong Hao/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>After the bell last Thursday, we received&nbsp;fiscal Q1 earnings results&nbsp;from BlackBerry (BB). While the company's shares have rallied at times recently, thanks to the retail trading mania, results have been rather poor. For the first quarter of its fiscal 2022 year, BlackBerry announced its lowest three-month revenue number under CEO John Chen. If this name loses the reddit fans that have propped up the stock, shares are likely to head lower as results just aren't there yet.</p>\n<p>If you remember&nbsp;the company's previous earnings report, management discussed back in late March that it had entered negotiations for a potential sale of its patent portfolio. Thus, the revenue forecast for the Licensing segment was essentially reduced for the year, with the following commentary from management&nbsp;on that earnings call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n However, appreciating that it will be useful to have an outlook for modeling purpose, the most conservative scenario in which sales, we modeled that sales does not happen or does not complete, full year licensing revenue will be in the region of $100 million. In this scenario, we assume that negotiation and regulatory review continue for the first half and therefore we expect revenue to be limited in the range of maybe $10 million to $15 million per quarter.\n</blockquote>\n<p>For the quarter, total revenues of $174 million came in about $3 million ahead of Street estimates. However, the composition of the revenue generated was not what many were hoping for. Licensing actually came in at $24 million, much higher than what estimates called for. As management stated&nbsp;on the conference call, some business came in earlier than expected. Just like many recent quarters that we've seen, the pull-forward in this segment made the overall quarter look less bad, and without this extra business, the top line would have easily missed estimates.</p>\n<p>That revenue upside meant that the newly called Cyber Security and IoT segments only represented $150 million. The total on those two business lines was up a paltry $2 million over the prior year period, and down $18 million from Q1 2020. On the call, management said it expects cyber security revenue to come in at the low end of its previous guidance range for the full fiscal year. A good portion of BlackBerry's key metrics also weakened over the prior year period, as detailed in the graphic below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82ba0e5502df8810761def4deddeb053\" tg-width=\"570\" tg-height=\"145\"><span>(Source: Q1 2021 earnings release, linked above)</span></p>\n<p>The year-over-year numbers certainly aren't good, with annual recurring revenue down by $23 million. The dollar-based net retention rate has also dipped by 7 percentage points. Supporters will talk about the growth in the QNX backlog, and BlackBerry management said in the earnings release that this was a 9% year-over-year increase. That seems to be what the graphic is saying, but take a look at what was said in previous press releases (bold emphasis added). The following statements make that year-over-year growth rate seem not true, that this is actually a 5 quarter increase, taking a good chunk of that growth rate away.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Fiscal Q1 2021 Document,linked here:\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n The Company's QNX royalty revenue backlog was approximately $450 million at&nbsp;\n <b>the beginning of the first quarterof fiscal 2021</b>.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Recent QNX release,linked here:\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n BlackBerry also announced that BlackBerry QNX royalty revenue backlog has increased to $490 million at the&nbsp;\n <b>end of its first quarter of fiscal year2022</b>.\n</blockquote>\n<p>With the company's revenue base shrinking to a new low under this CEO, the rest of the income statement didn't look much better. Gross margins fell nearly 4 percentage points, while the operating loss excluding items jumped from $50 million to $62 million. The company matched Street non-GAAP loss estimates at a nickel per share. However, this was again due to a number of items that management excludes that are traditional expenses for companies like this, including stock-based compensation and intangibles amortization.</p>\n<p>For the quarter, cash burn came in at $35 million, $3 million more than the year-ago period. The value of equity on the balance sheet dropped another $48 million, and there is a larger holding value of intangibles and goodwill combined than there is equity. Total deferred revenue dropped again from $294 million to $265 million, which will further impact the company's ability for the top line to grow moving forward. Billings were also down on a year-over-year and sequential basis.</p>\n<p>I mentioned in&nbsp;my previous article&nbsp;that the biggest argument against the name right now is valuation. I compared BlackBerry to IBM (IBM), which itself has had revenue troubles as it transitions its legacy businesses to more current ones. Even if BlackBerry were worth three times IBM on a price to sales basis, BlackBerry would be worth about $10.51 more than a year out. I don't see anything in last week's report that really changes that number, and one could argue my previous revenue growth hope for the following fiscal year now needs to come down a bit. The recent \"reddit rally\" has also pushed the name well above its key technical levels as seen in the chart below (50-day in purple, 200-day in red).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e0060206489ea2bfe405eae34646358\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"275\"><span>(Source: Yahoo! Finance)</span></p>\n<p>In the end, last week's earnings report showed that the revenue struggles at BlackBerry have not subsided.

While the company's shares have rallied at times recently, thanks to the retail trading mania, results have been rather poor. For the first quarter of its fiscal 2022 year, BlackBerry announced its lowest three-month revenue number under CEO John Chen. If this name loses the reddit fans that have propped up the stock, shares are likely to head lower as results just aren't there yet.\nIf you remember the company's previous earnings report, management discussed back in late March that it had entered negotiations for a potential sale of its patent portfolio. Thus, the revenue forecast for the Licensing segment was essentially reduced for the year, with the following commentary from management on that earnings call:\n\n However, appreciating that it will be useful to have an outlook for modeling purpose, the most conservative scenario in which sales, we modeled that sales does not happen or does not complete, full year licensing revenue will be in the region of $100 million. In this scenario, we assume that negotiation and regulatory review continue for the first half and therefore we expect revenue to be limited in the range of maybe $10 million to $15 million per quarter.\n\nFor the quarter, total revenues of $174 million came in about $3 million ahead of Street estimates. However, the composition of the revenue generated was not what many were hoping for. Licensing actually came in at $24 million, much higher than what estimates called for. As management stated on the conference call, some business came in earlier than expected. Just like many recent quarters that we've seen, the pull-forward in this segment made the overall quarter look less bad, and without this extra business, the top line would have easily missed estimates.\nThat revenue upside meant that the newly called Cyber Security and IoT segments only represented $150 million. The total on those two business lines was up a paltry $2 million over the prior year period, and down $18 million from Q1 2020. On the call, management said it expects cyber security revenue to come in at the low end of its previous guidance range for the full fiscal year. A good portion of BlackBerry's key metrics also weakened over the prior year period, as detailed in the graphic below.\n(Source: Q1 2021 earnings release, linked above)\nThe year-over-year numbers certainly aren't good, with annual recurring revenue down by $23 million. The dollar-based net retention rate has also dipped by 7 percentage points. Supporters will talk about the growth in the QNX backlog, and BlackBerry management said in the earnings release that this was a 9% year-over-year increase. That seems to be what the graphic is saying, but take a look at what was said in previous press releases (bold emphasis added). The following statements make that year-over-year growth rate seem not true, that this is actually a 5 quarter increase, taking a good chunk of that growth rate away.\n\n Fiscal Q1 2021 Document,linked here:\n\n\n The Company's QNX royalty revenue backlog was approximately $450 million at \n the beginning of the first quarterof fiscal 2021.\n\n\n Recent QNX release,linked here:\n\n\n BlackBerry also announced that BlackBerry QNX royalty revenue backlog has increased to $490 million at the \n end of its first quarter of fiscal year2022.\n\nWith the company's revenue base shrinking to a new low under this CEO, the rest of the income statement didn't look much better. Gross margins fell nearly 4 percentage points, while the operating loss excluding items jumped from $50 million to $62 million. The company matched Street non-GAAP loss estimates at a nickel per share. However, this was again due to a number of items that management excludes that are traditional expenses for companies like this, including stock-based compensation and intangibles amortization.\nFor the quarter, cash burn came in at $35 million, $3 million more than the year-ago period. The value of equity on the balance sheet dropped another $48 million, and there is a larger holding value of intangibles and goodwill combined than there is equity. Total deferred revenue dropped again from $294 million to $265 million, which will further impact the company's ability for the top line to grow moving forward. Billings were also down on a year-over-year and sequential basis.\nI mentioned in my previous article that the biggest argument against the name right now is valuation. I compared BlackBerry to IBM (IBM), which itself has had revenue troubles as it transitions its legacy businesses to more current ones. Even if BlackBerry were worth three times IBM on a price to sales basis, BlackBerry would be worth about $10.51 more than a year out. I don't see anything in last week's report that really changes that number, and one could argue my previous revenue growth hope for the following fiscal year now needs to come down a bit. The recent \"reddit rally\" has also pushed the name well above its key technical levels as seen in the chart below (50-day in purple, 200-day in red).\n(Source: Yahoo! Finance)\nIn the end, last week's earnings report showed that the revenue struggles at BlackBerry have not subsided. Another licensing pull-forward helped the overall numbers look okay, but the core business is not doing well overall. Management reduced its guidance for both the Cyber Security and IoT segments, signaling that this latest turnaround will take longer than expected. If the stock cannot hold on to its reddit crowd base, shares will likely continue to pull back to where the valuation should realistically be.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":267,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
