Micron, on the other hand, has lost investor confidence due to concerns about the health of the memory market. That's not surprising -- investor sentiment in Micron stock is dictated by the booms and busts in the cyclical memory market, as I pointed out in April, while AMD is sitting on secular tailwinds that could ensure long-term growth.</p>\n<p>As a result, AMD looked like the better buy in April, and the stock's performance since then justifies that call. But with Micron now trading at a dirt-cheap valuation and the prospects of the memory market looking up, is it now a better bet over AMD? Let's find out if my investing advice has changed.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d37411519d470ff3c53a15776d3013c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The case for Advanced Micro Devices</h2>\n<p>There are three reasons why AMD remains a stock worth buying even after its impressive rally over the past few months.</p>\n<p>First, the chipmaker continues to hurt Intel in the x86 CPU (central processing unit) market. Mercury Research estimates that AMD's CPU market share reached a 14-year high in the second quarter of 2021, hitting 22.5%, an increase of 4.2 percentage points over the year-ago quarter. AMD has doubled&nbsp;its CPU market share at Intel's expense in the past two to three years, and it seems on its way to further improve its positioning thanks to an advanced manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>A stronger market share in the CPU space is going to be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of AMD's biggest catalysts, as its computing and graphics business is still quite small compared to Intel's. Similarly, AMD's gains in the server processor market could add billions of dollars to its revenue in the future.</p>\n<p>Second, AMD is on track to take advantage of growing graphics card demand. Jon Peddie Research estimates&nbsp;that it holds 17% of the discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) market, with <b>Nvidia</b> controlling the rest. There is no doubt that Nvidia is the dominant graphics card provider, but AMD investors shouldn't forget that discrete GPU sales are expected&nbsp;to jump from $29 billion in 2020 to $44 billion in 2023.</p>\n<p>If AMD continues to hold even a 20% share of the discrete GPU market in the future, it could substantially increase its revenue.</p>\n<p>Third, AMD's dominant position in video gaming consoles adds yet another potent catalyst to the company's portfolio. AMD's enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business is winning big from the <b>Sony</b> PlayStation 5 and the latest <b>Microsoft</b> Xbox consoles, which use its semi-custom chips.</p>\n<p>The EESC business is built for long-term growth as well, as the new console generation is still in its early phases. According to third-party estimates, the PS5 could clock&nbsp;67 million units in annual sales by 2024, which would be a huge jump over the 4.5 million units&nbsp;sold last year. Throw in the fact that AMD has won the contract to supply chips for an upcoming handheld gaming console that could turn out to be a big success, and it's easy to see why AMD's EESC business will keep firing on all cylinders.</p>\n<p>Given all these tailwinds, it is not surprising to see that AMD expects revenue to jump&nbsp;60% in 2021. Even better, analysts believe that the company's robust growth is here to stay for the long run, as AMD's earnings are expected to grow at an annual pace of over 32% for the next five years. As such, AMD looks all set to sustain its recent rally thanks to multiple growth drivers.</p>\n<h2>The case for Micron</h2>\n<p>Micron shares have tumbled over the past few months despite the absence of any visible signs of weakness in the company's business. The company's third-quarter revenue increased 36% year over year to $7.42 billion, while adjusted earnings per share jumped to $1.88 per share from $0.82 per share in the year-ago quarter. The strong memory pricing environment sent Micron's operating income to 31.9% during the quarter from 18% in the year-ago period.</p>\n<p>What's more, Micron's guidance suggests that it isn't going to run out of steam. The company expects $8.2 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and earnings of $2.30 per share, which would translate into 35% year-over-year revenue growth and a sharp jump from the prior-year period's earnings of $1.08 per share. It is surprising to see Micron shares taking a beating despite such outstanding numbers. But investors' trepidation seems justified, as drops in memory prices have historically been bad news for the company.</p>\n<p>However, the massive end-market demand for memory chips suggests that memory prices may continue to hold up. For instance, memory industry market research provider TrendForce estimates&nbsp;that robust demand from data center servers could push up server DRAM (dynamic random access memory) prices by 5% to 10% in the current quarter.</p>\n<p>More importantly, the server market is set up for long-term growth. Mordor Intelligence estimates&nbsp;a 12% annual increase in enterprise server spending through 2026 on account of the deployment of hyperscale data centers and increased server storage demand. A similar scenario is unfolding in the mobile DRAM market, where the deployment of 5G smartphones has led to a sharp increase in demand.</p>\n<p>Counterpoint Research estimates that mobile DRAM revenue increased 30% year over year in the first quarter of 2021 thanks to an increase in the average DRAM capacity per smartphone. As 5G smartphones are being equipped with more DRAM and are still in their early phases of growth, Micron should continue witnessing healthy demand from this market.</p>\n<p>With mobile and servers accounting for nearly three-fourths of the overall DRAM market, investors' fear of a drop-off in memory demand could remain unjustified. Finally, the secular catalysts Micron stands to gain from could result in a massive acceleration in its revenue and earnings over the coming years, according to analysts' estimates.</p>\n<p>In fact, analysts expect&nbsp;Micron's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate of 58% for the next five years, which is substantially higher than what's expected from AMD.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>By now it should be evident that both Micron and AMD can continue to sustain their impressive growth in the future. As such, investors can't go too far wrong with either stock.</p>\n<p>However, those looking for a value play right now have a solid reason to buy Micron stock, as it is trading&nbsp;at just 20 times trailing earnings. The forward earnings multiple of just 7 makes it even more attractive when compared to AMD, which trades at a multiple of 35. So investors with a higher risk appetite can still go for AMD, as its premium seems justified, while those looking to buy a growth stock on the cheap should take a closer look at Micron Technology.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Better Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBetter Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-17 22:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/17/better-buy-amd-vs-micron-technology/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Five months ago, stock for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) were following different trajectories when it came to their prices.

Finally, the secular catalysts Micron stands to gain from could result in a massive acceleration in its revenue and earnings over the coming years, according to analysts' estimates.\nIn fact, analysts expect Micron's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate of 58% for the next five years, which is substantially higher than what's expected from AMD.\nThe verdict\nBy now it should be evident that both Micron and AMD can continue to sustain their impressive growth in the future. As such, investors can't go too far wrong with either stock.\nHowever, those looking for a value play right now have a solid reason to buy Micron stock, as it is trading at just 20 times trailing earnings. The forward earnings multiple of just 7 makes it even more attractive when compared to AMD, which trades at a multiple of 35. So investors with a higher risk appetite can still go for AMD, as its premium seems justified, while those looking to buy a growth stock on the cheap should take a closer look at Micron Technology.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":970,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885010681,"gmtCreate":1631744009443,"gmtModify":1676530621267,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"h","listText":"h","text":"h","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/885010681","repostId":"2167559884","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":468,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":881348797,"gmtCreate":1631309422019,"gmtModify":1676530524134,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"h","listText":"h","text":"h","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/881348797","repostId":"1134155855","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1134155855","pubTimestamp":1631284279,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1134155855?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-10 22:31","market":"uk","language":"en","title":"Apple Chip Designer Imagination Considers London IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1134155855","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"U.K. semiconductor firm working with Lazard to study options.\nChina-backed Canyon Bridge fund bought","content":"<ul>\n <li>U.K. semiconductor firm working with Lazard to study options.</li>\n <li>China-backed Canyon Bridge fund bought company in 2017.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Imagination Technologies Ltd., the British semiconductor designer with ties to a Chinese state investor, is exploring options including a potential initial public offering in London, people familiar with the matter said.</p>\n<p>The Hertfordshire, England-based company is working withLazard Ltd.to study strategic alternatives, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.

What's more, Applied's guidance turned out to be strong as well, fueled by the massive growth in semiconductor investments across the globe as chipmakers are scrambling to meet huge end-market demand.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36e7c524b510f3ddf875d48fa2f3ac29\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>It's worth noting that Applied Materials stock is now trading at a cheaper valuation than it was before the quarterly report came out, thanks to the terrific earnings growth. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is just 23, while the forward earnings multiple of 17 indicates that more bottom-line growth is in the cards. These multiples are lower than the <b>S&amp;P 500 Index</b>'s trailing P/E of 31 and forward P/E of 22.</p>\n<p>That means there's a golden opportunity for investors to add a rapidly growing company to their portfolios at an attractive valuation, and they shouldn't miss out. Let's look at some reasons.</p>\n<h2>Applied Materials is now growing at a blistering pace</h2>\n<p>A $1,000 investment in Applied Materials stock a decade ago would be worth almost $12,000 now:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81e0104d17e81fcbfbe06af299b88f05\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>AMAT data by YCharts.</span></p>\n<p>However, as the chart above shows, the company's top and bottom lines haven't exactly grown at a blistering pace over the past 10 years. Its revenue just about doubled, while earnings growth hasn't been eye-popping either, considering the pace at which the broader market's bottom line has increased. Also, as the chart indicates, most of Applied Materials' gains arrived in the past year and a half, after it became evident that the company's offerings would remain in hot demand amid a global semiconductor shortage that has disrupted several industries.</p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Applied Materials' revenue and earnings have been growing at a much faster pace when compared to its average annual growth in the past 10 years. The company delivered record quarterly revenue of $6.2 billion in Q3, up 41% year over year. It also clocked a record (adjusted) operating margin of 32.7%, a jump of 6.3 percentage points over the prior year.</p>\n<p>The terrific sales and margin growth led to record adjusted earnings of $1.90 per share, up 79% from the year-ago quarter. The results crushed the expectations of analysts who'd been looking for $1.77 per share in earnings on $5.94 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Applied Materials' guidance was the icing on the cake. The company expects, at the midpoint of its guidance range, to earn $1.94 per share this quarter on revenue of $6.33 billion. Wall Street had set the bar lower; analysts were expecting just $1.81 in earnings per share on $6.04 billion in revenue. The midpoint of the guidance indicates that Applied is anticipating 35% year-over-year revenue growth this quarter, while non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings could increase 55%.</p>\n<p>The impressive guidance is a clue that Applied Materials has switched into a higher gear, and it's unlikely to step off the gas given the massive end-market opportunity at hand. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising to see its growth over the next decade significantly outpacing the rate at which it's grown in the past 10 years, helping the stock to fly higher once again.</p>\n<h2>Sustainable growth drivers can help the stock soar</h2>\n<p>Applied Materials supplies chip fabrication equipment, services, and software to semiconductor manufacturers. Its largest source of revenue is the semiconductor systems business, through which Applied develops, manufactures, and sells semiconductor fabrication equipment. This segment produced nearly 72% of the company's total revenue last quarter and recorded 53% year-over-year growth.</p>\n<p>Within the semiconductor systems business, the foundry/logic vertical occupied the largest share with 63% of total revenue, up from 55% in the year-ago quarter. The foundry business is built for long-term growth, as chipmakers across the globe are ramping up capacity. For instance, global semiconductor capital spending stood at an estimated $29.4 billion in 2010, according to <b>Gartner</b>. Last year, that number had ballooned to $106.9 billion.</p>\n<p>Gartner estimates that global semiconductor spending will rise to $141.9 billion this year. Spending on semiconductor equipment can keep moving higher in the coming years on the back of a huge jump in chip demand.</p>\n<p>Applied Materials points out that the semiconductor industry took 40 years to achieve its first $200 billion in revenue; from 2000 to 2017, the industry added the next $200 billion. An additional $200 billion of revenue is expected by 2024, over a shorter span of just seven years. What's more, the semiconductor industry's revenue is anticipated to increase a whopping $400 billion from 2025 to 2030, hitting $1 trillion at the end of the forecast period.</p>\n<p>Chipmakers will need to buy new equipment or upgrade their existing setups to cater to this massive increase in semiconductor demand, which will be driven by several verticals including automotive, networking, and industrial. Discussing \"PPACt\" (chip power efficiency, performance, area, cost, and time to market), Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson said on the Q3 earnings call that the company is on track to take advantage of these tailwinds and outperform the broader market:</p>\n<blockquote>\n As we look ahead, we are confident that the strength of longer-term secular trends will drive semiconductor and wafer fab equipment markets structurally higher. And we believe Applied is in the best position to accelerate our customers' PPACt roadmaps, and grow significantly faster than our markets.\n</blockquote>\n<p>All of this indicates that Applied Materials is in a solid position to deliver more upside. Analysts expect the company's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 25% for the next five years. At its current valuation, buying this tech stock is a no-brainer.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Got $1,000?

Let's look at some reasons.\nApplied Materials is now growing at a blistering pace\nA $1,000 investment in Applied Materials stock a decade ago would be worth almost $12,000 now:\nAMAT data by YCharts.\nHowever, as the chart above shows, the company's top and bottom lines haven't exactly grown at a blistering pace over the past 10 years. Its revenue just about doubled, while earnings growth hasn't been eye-popping either, considering the pace at which the broader market's bottom line has increased. Also, as the chart indicates, most of Applied Materials' gains arrived in the past year and a half, after it became evident that the company's offerings would remain in hot demand amid a global semiconductor shortage that has disrupted several industries.\nNot surprisingly, Applied Materials' revenue and earnings have been growing at a much faster pace when compared to its average annual growth in the past 10 years. The company delivered record quarterly revenue of $6.2 billion in Q3, up 41% year over year. It also clocked a record (adjusted) operating margin of 32.7%, a jump of 6.3 percentage points over the prior year.\nThe terrific sales and margin growth led to record adjusted earnings of $1.90 per share, up 79% from the year-ago quarter. The results crushed the expectations of analysts who'd been looking for $1.77 per share in earnings on $5.94 billion in revenue.\nApplied Materials' guidance was the icing on the cake. The company expects, at the midpoint of its guidance range, to earn $1.94 per share this quarter on revenue of $6.33 billion. Wall Street had set the bar lower; analysts were expecting just $1.81 in earnings per share on $6.04 billion in revenue. The midpoint of the guidance indicates that Applied is anticipating 35% year-over-year revenue growth this quarter, while non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings could increase 55%.\nThe impressive guidance is a clue that Applied Materials has switched into a higher gear, and it's unlikely to step off the gas given the massive end-market opportunity at hand. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising to see its growth over the next decade significantly outpacing the rate at which it's grown in the past 10 years, helping the stock to fly higher once again.\nSustainable growth drivers can help the stock soar\nApplied Materials supplies chip fabrication equipment, services, and software to semiconductor manufacturers. Its largest source of revenue is the semiconductor systems business, through which Applied develops, manufactures, and sells semiconductor fabrication equipment. This segment produced nearly 72% of the company's total revenue last quarter and recorded 53% year-over-year growth.\nWithin the semiconductor systems business, the foundry/logic vertical occupied the largest share with 63% of total revenue, up from 55% in the year-ago quarter. The foundry business is built for long-term growth, as chipmakers across the globe are ramping up capacity. For instance, global semiconductor capital spending stood at an estimated $29.4 billion in 2010, according to Gartner. Last year, that number had ballooned to $106.9 billion.\nGartner estimates that global semiconductor spending will rise to $141.9 billion this year. Spending on semiconductor equipment can keep moving higher in the coming years on the back of a huge jump in chip demand.\nApplied Materials points out that the semiconductor industry took 40 years to achieve its first $200 billion in revenue; from 2000 to 2017, the industry added the next $200 billion. An additional $200 billion of revenue is expected by 2024, over a shorter span of just seven years. What's more, the semiconductor industry's revenue is anticipated to increase a whopping $400 billion from 2025 to 2030, hitting $1 trillion at the end of the forecast period.\nChipmakers will need to buy new equipment or upgrade their existing setups to cater to this massive increase in semiconductor demand, which will be driven by several verticals including automotive, networking, and industrial. Discussing \"PPACt\" (chip power efficiency, performance, area, cost, and time to market), Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson said on the Q3 earnings call that the company is on track to take advantage of these tailwinds and outperform the broader market:\n\n As we look ahead, we are confident that the strength of longer-term secular trends will drive semiconductor and wafer fab equipment markets structurally higher. And we believe Applied is in the best position to accelerate our customers' PPACt roadmaps, and grow significantly faster than our markets.\n\nAll of this indicates that Applied Materials is in a solid position to deliver more upside. Analysts expect the company's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 25% for the next five years. At its current valuation, buying this tech stock is a no-brainer.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":837723098,"gmtCreate":1629930114114,"gmtModify":1676530172483,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"j","listText":"j","text":"j","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/837723098","repostId":"1115773122","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115773122","pubTimestamp":1629904800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1115773122?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-25 23:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Peloton Earnings: 2 Tough Questions Analysts Should Ask Management on Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115773122","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It would be helpful for investors to know how many of the connected-fitness leader's subscribers paused their subscriptions in the quarter, and to know more about a complaint alleging the company improperly collected some sales taxes.","content":"<p><b>Peloton Interactive</b>(NASDAQ:PTON)&nbsp;is slated to report its results for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2021 (which ended on June 30) after the market close on Thursday, Aug. 26.

So much so that the company stands to draw nearly $4 billion in such payouts alone this year.</p>\n<p>In that spirit, here's a look at two particularly attractive Buffett dividend stocks that can pump out a thick stream of regular income to your portfolio, too: <b>Verizon Communications</b> (NYSE:VZ) and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STOR\">STORE Capital</a></b> (NYSE:STOR).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F640241%2Fwarren-buffett-by-the-motley-fool.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>Verizon</h2>\n<p>Up until a few years ago, the old-fashioned Buffett basically eschewed tech stocks. That changed with the arrival of Ted Weschler and Todd Combs as investment managers at Berkshire Hathaway. Since then, the two relatively young men were instrumental in Berkshire taking a stake in <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL). Combs was likely the decision maker in its buying cloud-based data storage and analytics service provider <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a> </b>(NYSE:SNOW).</p>\n<p>It's probable that one or both were also the trigger-pullers on the company's largest telecom sector investment currently, rock-solid incumbent Verizon, which also happens to be a dependable dividend payer.</p>\n<p>Operating in a business with constant and heavy cash flow thanks to its nearly 95 million wireless retail connections, the company has plenty of dosh for a high dividend.</p>\n<p>Paying one is a long-standing Verizon habit. It and its corporate predecessors have dispensed a disbursement in every quarter since the mid-1980s. Over the past 10 years, that's crept up from just under $0.49 per share to the current level of almost $0.63. That makes for a hearty dividend yield of 4.5% on the most recent closing share price.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Verizon is assertively building out its 5G network, which when fully broadened should deliver extremely fast internet connection speeds to its customers. Yes, that's an expensive undertaking, but with nearly $130 billion in revenue and free cash flow approaching $24 billion last year, the company has more than enough for that shareholder-pleasing dividend.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b066a45de1a25d10609d25637370aa14\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"324\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>STORE Capital</h2>\n<p>Of the nearly 50 stocks in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio of publicly traded companies, there is but a single real estate investment trust (REIT): STORE Capital.</p>\n<p>The company is focused on the retail sector, which was hit hard by the pandemic. But the damage was contained by the REIT's strategy of limiting exposure: No single one of its tenants contributes over 3% to the company's total rental income.</p>\n<p>That, plus an aggressive expansion program that's seen the company grow its portfolio to more than 2,700 properties across the U.S., has kept it on a growth path. Rental revenue growth was stunted last year because of the pandemic, but still grew (by 3% compared to 2019).</p>\n<p>If the company's recently released second-quarter figures are any indication, better times are ahead: Rental revenue increased by 15% on a year-over-year basis. Meanwhile, STORE Capital's adjusted funds from operations (AFFO, the most important profitability line item for REITs) leaped 25% across that one-year stretch.</p>\n<p>For REITs, since they're required to pay out nearly all of their profits in the form of shareholder remuneration, higher profitability equals higher dividend.

If you said Warren Buffett, you've identified one star stock picker at the top of the list.\nBuffett and his investment vehicle Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) are huge on dividend stocks. So much so that the company stands to draw nearly $4 billion in such payouts alone this year.\nIn that spirit, here's a look at two particularly attractive Buffett dividend stocks that can pump out a thick stream of regular income to your portfolio, too: Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) and STORE Capital (NYSE:STOR).\nImage source: The Motley Fool.\nVerizon\nUp until a few years ago, the old-fashioned Buffett basically eschewed tech stocks. That changed with the arrival of Ted Weschler and Todd Combs as investment managers at Berkshire Hathaway. Since then, the two relatively young men were instrumental in Berkshire taking a stake in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Combs was likely the decision maker in its buying cloud-based data storage and analytics service provider Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW).\nIt's probable that one or both were also the trigger-pullers on the company's largest telecom sector investment currently, rock-solid incumbent Verizon, which also happens to be a dependable dividend payer.\nOperating in a business with constant and heavy cash flow thanks to its nearly 95 million wireless retail connections, the company has plenty of dosh for a high dividend.\nPaying one is a long-standing Verizon habit. It and its corporate predecessors have dispensed a disbursement in every quarter since the mid-1980s. Over the past 10 years, that's crept up from just under $0.49 per share to the current level of almost $0.63. That makes for a hearty dividend yield of 4.5% on the most recent closing share price.\nMeanwhile, Verizon is assertively building out its 5G network, which when fully broadened should deliver extremely fast internet connection speeds to its customers. Yes, that's an expensive undertaking, but with nearly $130 billion in revenue and free cash flow approaching $24 billion last year, the company has more than enough for that shareholder-pleasing dividend.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSTORE Capital\nOf the nearly 50 stocks in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio of publicly traded companies, there is but a single real estate investment trust (REIT): STORE Capital.\nThe company is focused on the retail sector, which was hit hard by the pandemic. But the damage was contained by the REIT's strategy of limiting exposure: No single one of its tenants contributes over 3% to the company's total rental income.\nThat, plus an aggressive expansion program that's seen the company grow its portfolio to more than 2,700 properties across the U.S., has kept it on a growth path. Rental revenue growth was stunted last year because of the pandemic, but still grew (by 3% compared to 2019).\nIf the company's recently released second-quarter figures are any indication, better times are ahead: Rental revenue increased by 15% on a year-over-year basis. Meanwhile, STORE Capital's adjusted funds from operations (AFFO, the most important profitability line item for REITs) leaped 25% across that one-year stretch.\nFor REITs, since they're required to pay out nearly all of their profits in the form of shareholder remuneration, higher profitability equals higher dividend. As STORE Capital continues to grow its business, so grows its payout. Since declaring its first dividend after its 2014 IPO, the REIT's distribution has ballooned from just over $0.11 per share to the present $0.36. At the current share price, that yields a generous 4.1%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":344,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":835753301,"gmtCreate":1629757883803,"gmtModify":1676530119252,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"u","listText":"u","text":"u","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":10,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/835753301","repostId":"1179203616","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179203616","pubTimestamp":1629732335,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179203616?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-23 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir Is an Enigma.

The cloud computing titans offer their own data analytics and management tools.</p>\n<p>In a \"coopetition\" model, thecloud giantsgive their customers a green light to buy<b>Snowflake</b>'s (SNOW) software. The reason is Snowflake's tools are better at some key tasks, such as letting companies compile, view, analyze and share massive amounts of data in an easy way.</p>\n<p>Nearly two-fifths of Fortune 500 companies use Snowflake's software in the cloud as they move away from on-premise data warehousing products from<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TDC\">Teradata</a></b>(TDC),<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ORCL\">Oracle</a></b>(ORCL) and<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a></b>(IBM).&nbsp;One Snowflake customer is pharma giant<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">Pfizer</a></b>(PFE). Pfizer uses Snowflake tools to forecast product sales and to gain insights into thedistribution of the Covid-19 vaccine.</p>\n<p>Stellar customer growth enabled SNOW stock to pull off the largest initial public offering ever by a software company in September 2020. The IPO raised $3.4 billion.</p>\n<p>But is Snowflake a buy right now? After a tough start to 2021, software growth stocks have rebounded. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF rose 3.4% in July and 8.7% in June.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake Stock: Roadmap to $10 Billion In Revenue</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake stock hit an all-time high of 429 in early December. But SNOW stock swooned in late 2020 amid analyst concerns over its lofty valuation.</p>\n<p>At a June 10 analyst day, Snowflake laid out a path to $10 billion in product revenue by fiscal 2029, which coincides with calendar 2028. The $10 billion revenue target would result in a compound annual growth rate of 44%.</p>\n<p>The company said it expects to increase the number of customers with over $1 million in product revenue. Snowflake also guided to long-term operating margin of 10%-plus, lower than some analysts expected.</p>\n<p><b>Possible Threat From Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake in July announced support for digital advertising standard Unified ID 2.0. Advertising is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Snowflake's largest verticals with customers representing a large percentage of players in the space, noted a RBC Capital report. The move comes as Googlephases out internet cookies for targeted advertising.</p>\n<p>Whether Amazon Web Services ratchets up competition remains a concern for SNOW stock. Plus, competition with privately held Databricks is heating up. A February funding roundvalued Databricks at $28 billion.</p>\n<p>Databricks, which usesartificial intelligence, is expected to launch its own IPO.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock bulls point to its seasoned management team as a strength no matter what unfolds.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> former Oracle engineers — Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes — along with Marcin Zukowski, former chief executive of startup Vectorwise, started Snowflake in 2012. The company holds patents in database architecture, data warehouses and other areas.</p>\n<p><b>SNOW Stock: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOW\">ServiceNow</a> Veterans Lead Company</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake brought inFrank Slootman as chief executive&nbsp;in May 2019. Slootman had stepped down as CEO of ServiceNow in early 2017. Former ServiceNow Chief Financial Officer Mike Scarpelli in 2019 also joined Snowflake in the same CFO position.</p>\n<p>Unlike legacy, on-premise data management systems, Snowflake's platform was built from the ground up for cloud computing. It provides 100% of its software over the internet.</p>\n<p>Snowflake customers can share data with their partners across multiple online storage systems using the company's data warehouse. Snowflake also enables easily searchable data to be shared among applications.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's data analytics tools became available on Amazon Web Services in 2015, Microsoft's Azure in 2018 and on Google's cloud platform in 2020.</p>\n<p>In June, Snowflake partnered with<b>C3.ai</b>(AI). The two companies will cooperate in offering artificial intelligence tools to companies.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon Web Services A 'Frenemy'</b></p>\n<p>\"While Snowflake is multi-cloud, it derives some 85% of its revenues from data analytics jobs deployed on Amazon Web Services, which is also Snowflake's biggest rival with AWS Redshift,\" UBS analyst Karl Keirstead said in a recent note to clients.</p>\n<p>\"This 'frenemy' relationship is critical to Snowflake's success,\" Keirstead went on to say. \"AWS benefits far more from Snowflake spending on compute and storage infrastructure resources than they lose in the form of foregone AWS Redshift revenues. Snowflake represents a dream customer and partner for AWS and Microsoft Azure.\"</p>\n<p>Snowflake has focused on six core markets, including financial services, health care and life sciences, retail and consumer packaged goods, advertising media and entertainment, technology, and the government sector.</p>\n<p>When Snowflake went public in September it used a dual-class share structure that gave its CEO and insiderssuper-voting rights. However, Snowflake eliminated the dual-class structure in March.</p>\n<p>Snowflake had been based in San Mateo, Calif. Amid the shift to remote work spurred by the coronavirus emergency, Snowflake in May said it no longer has a corporate headquarters. It designated Bozeman, Mont., as its principal executive office. Slootman and Scarpelli are based in Bozeman.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake Stock Fundamental Analysis</b></p>\n<p>Software stocks typically trade as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. Software-as-a-service, or SaaS, companies, such as<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce.com</a></b>(CRM), typically provide the highest revenue growth. Salesforce is a key marketing partner of SNOW stock.</p>\n<p>Snowflake also partners with consulting firms such as Deloitte and information technology firms such as privately held Informatica.</p>\n<p>Snowflake is not an SaaS company, however. Instead, it uses a consumption-based business model based on how much data its customers crunch and store.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's revenue growth stands out. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a>-quartersales jumped 110%to $228.9 million. But there's less transparency and predictability than with subscription-based, recurring-revenue SaaS business models, analysts say.</p>\n<p>\"SNOW has a consumption model, whereby customers contract for a certain amount of compute and storage capacity,\" <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MFG\">Mizuho</a> Securities analyst Gregg Moskowitz said in a note. \"The company only records revenue, however, as that capacity is used, so there can be a lag of several months or more before revenue recognition begins.\"</p>\n<p>Snowflake is nearing an annual revenue run-rate of $1 billion. That's a big milestone for software growth companies. But SNOW stock is unprofitable on the two most common accounting standards.</p>\n<p>Many software companies are unprofitable using GAAP earnings, or generally accepted accounting principles, which includes stock-based compensation. But they're profitable on a non-GAAP or \"adjusted\" earnings basis.</p>\n<p><b>SNOW Stock Operates In The Red</b></p>\n<p>In the first quarter, Snowflake reported a GAAP operating loss of $205.6 million and a GAAP per-share loss of 70 cents. Snowflake stock subsequently fell. It recorded an adjusted operating loss of $35.8 million.</p>\n<p>Snowflake doesn't break out adjusted earnings. Analysts estimate it lost 11 cents on an adjusted basis in the first quarter.</p>\n<p>Snowflake operates in the red amid sizable investments, analysts say. For fiscal 2022, for example, Snowflake has told analysts it plans to hire 1,200 net new employees, which would represent 48% growth in head count.</p>\n<p>Still, investments are paying off in revenue growth. Snowflake had 4,532 customers as of April 30, up 67% from the year-earlier period. That includes 187 of the Fortune 500. In the April quarter, Snowflake added a record 27 customers with more than $1 million per year in product revenue, giving it 104 such customers overall.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GS\">Goldman Sachs</a> analyst Kash Rangan is bullish on Snowflake's potential to dominate in cloud-based data analytics and management.</p>\n<p>\"We believe Snowflake will continue to replace incumbent warehousing solutions owing to their scalable and elastic cloud native data platform while also capitalizing on net new workloads and use cases as digital transformation drives greater digitization within the enterprise, and business intelligence and analytics remains a top priority for spending,\" he said in a note.</p>\n<p><b>SNOW Stock Technical Analysis</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake stock went public on Sept. 16 at 120 a share. At the time, software growth stocks were hot as investors sought recurring revenue amid the coronavirus emergency.</p>\n<p>SNOW stock popped as high as 319 on the first day of trading and closed 111.6% above the IPO price at 253.93. Shares pulled back as analysts debated Snowflake's valuation.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock forged acup-with-handle baseover the next two months. The new base created an entry point of 301. SNOW stock blew past the buy point, hitting an all-time high of 429 on Dec. 8.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock swooned in late 2020 amid questions over its valuation even as the IBD Computer-Software <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EBTC\">Enterprise</a> group stayed resilient. The Computer-Software <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EFSC\">Enterprise</a> group did not break down until mid-February amid a market rotation to value.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock hit a low of 184.71 on May 13.</p>\n<p>Canaccord Genuity analyst David Hynes said in a note that one question for investors is whether SNOW stock will trade in concert with software growth stocks. Software growth stocks have sold off onworries over inflation and rising interest rates.</p>\n<p><b>Is Snowflake Stock A Buy Right Now?</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake stock still trades at a substantial premium as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. SNOW stock holds anIBD Composite Ratingof 37 out of a best possible 99, according toIBD Stock Checkup.</p>\n<p>IBD's Composite Rating combines five separate proprietary ratings into one easy-to-use rating. The best growth stocks have a Composite Rating of 90 or better.</p>\n<p>One plus is that Snowflake stock owns an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B, according toIBD MarketSmithanalysis. That rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading.</p>\n<p>The rating, on an A+ to E scale, measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.</p>\n<p>SNOW stock has yet toform a basewith a proper entry point.

The cloud computing titans offer their own data analytics and management tools.\nIn a \"coopetition\" model, thecloud giantsgive their customers a green light to buySnowflake's (SNOW) software. The reason is Snowflake's tools are better at some key tasks, such as letting companies compile, view, analyze and share massive amounts of data in an easy way.\nNearly two-fifths of Fortune 500 companies use Snowflake's software in the cloud as they move away from on-premise data warehousing products fromTeradata(TDC),Oracle(ORCL) andIBM(IBM). One Snowflake customer is pharma giantPfizer(PFE). Pfizer uses Snowflake tools to forecast product sales and to gain insights into thedistribution of the Covid-19 vaccine.\nStellar customer growth enabled SNOW stock to pull off the largest initial public offering ever by a software company in September 2020. The IPO raised $3.4 billion.\nBut is Snowflake a buy right now? After a tough start to 2021, software growth stocks have rebounded. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF rose 3.4% in July and 8.7% in June.\nSnowflake Stock: Roadmap to $10 Billion In Revenue\nSnowflake stock hit an all-time high of 429 in early December. But SNOW stock swooned in late 2020 amid analyst concerns over its lofty valuation.\nAt a June 10 analyst day, Snowflake laid out a path to $10 billion in product revenue by fiscal 2029, which coincides with calendar 2028. The $10 billion revenue target would result in a compound annual growth rate of 44%.\nThe company said it expects to increase the number of customers with over $1 million in product revenue. Snowflake also guided to long-term operating margin of 10%-plus, lower than some analysts expected.\nPossible Threat From Amazon\nSnowflake in July announced support for digital advertising standard Unified ID 2.0. Advertising is one of Snowflake's largest verticals with customers representing a large percentage of players in the space, noted a RBC Capital report. The move comes as Googlephases out internet cookies for targeted advertising.\nWhether Amazon Web Services ratchets up competition remains a concern for SNOW stock. Plus, competition with privately held Databricks is heating up. A February funding roundvalued Databricks at $28 billion.\nDatabricks, which usesartificial intelligence, is expected to launch its own IPO.\nSnowflake stock bulls point to its seasoned management team as a strength no matter what unfolds.\nTwo former Oracle engineers — Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes — along with Marcin Zukowski, former chief executive of startup Vectorwise, started Snowflake in 2012. The company holds patents in database architecture, data warehouses and other areas.\nSNOW Stock: ServiceNow Veterans Lead Company\nSnowflake brought inFrank Slootman as chief executive in May 2019. Slootman had stepped down as CEO of ServiceNow in early 2017. Former ServiceNow Chief Financial Officer Mike Scarpelli in 2019 also joined Snowflake in the same CFO position.\nUnlike legacy, on-premise data management systems, Snowflake's platform was built from the ground up for cloud computing. It provides 100% of its software over the internet.\nSnowflake customers can share data with their partners across multiple online storage systems using the company's data warehouse. Snowflake also enables easily searchable data to be shared among applications.\nSnowflake's data analytics tools became available on Amazon Web Services in 2015, Microsoft's Azure in 2018 and on Google's cloud platform in 2020.\nIn June, Snowflake partnered withC3.ai(AI). The two companies will cooperate in offering artificial intelligence tools to companies.\nAmazon Web Services A 'Frenemy'\n\"While Snowflake is multi-cloud, it derives some 85% of its revenues from data analytics jobs deployed on Amazon Web Services, which is also Snowflake's biggest rival with AWS Redshift,\" UBS analyst Karl Keirstead said in a recent note to clients.\n\"This 'frenemy' relationship is critical to Snowflake's success,\" Keirstead went on to say. \"AWS benefits far more from Snowflake spending on compute and storage infrastructure resources than they lose in the form of foregone AWS Redshift revenues. Snowflake represents a dream customer and partner for AWS and Microsoft Azure.\"\nSnowflake has focused on six core markets, including financial services, health care and life sciences, retail and consumer packaged goods, advertising media and entertainment, technology, and the government sector.\nWhen Snowflake went public in September it used a dual-class share structure that gave its CEO and insiderssuper-voting rights. However, Snowflake eliminated the dual-class structure in March.\nSnowflake had been based in San Mateo, Calif. Amid the shift to remote work spurred by the coronavirus emergency, Snowflake in May said it no longer has a corporate headquarters. It designated Bozeman, Mont., as its principal executive office. Slootman and Scarpelli are based in Bozeman.\nSnowflake Stock Fundamental Analysis\nSoftware stocks typically trade as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. Software-as-a-service, or SaaS, companies, such asSalesforce.com(CRM), typically provide the highest revenue growth. Salesforce is a key marketing partner of SNOW stock.\nSnowflake also partners with consulting firms such as Deloitte and information technology firms such as privately held Informatica.\nSnowflake is not an SaaS company, however. Instead, it uses a consumption-based business model based on how much data its customers crunch and store.\nSnowflake's revenue growth stands out. First-quartersales jumped 110%to $228.9 million. But there's less transparency and predictability than with subscription-based, recurring-revenue SaaS business models, analysts say.\n\"SNOW has a consumption model, whereby customers contract for a certain amount of compute and storage capacity,\" Mizuho Securities analyst Gregg Moskowitz said in a note. \"The company only records revenue, however, as that capacity is used, so there can be a lag of several months or more before revenue recognition begins.\"\nSnowflake is nearing an annual revenue run-rate of $1 billion. That's a big milestone for software growth companies. But SNOW stock is unprofitable on the two most common accounting standards.\nMany software companies are unprofitable using GAAP earnings, or generally accepted accounting principles, which includes stock-based compensation. But they're profitable on a non-GAAP or \"adjusted\" earnings basis.\nSNOW Stock Operates In The Red\nIn the first quarter, Snowflake reported a GAAP operating loss of $205.6 million and a GAAP per-share loss of 70 cents. Snowflake stock subsequently fell. It recorded an adjusted operating loss of $35.8 million.\nSnowflake doesn't break out adjusted earnings. Analysts estimate it lost 11 cents on an adjusted basis in the first quarter.\nSnowflake operates in the red amid sizable investments, analysts say. For fiscal 2022, for example, Snowflake has told analysts it plans to hire 1,200 net new employees, which would represent 48% growth in head count.\nStill, investments are paying off in revenue growth. Snowflake had 4,532 customers as of April 30, up 67% from the year-earlier period. That includes 187 of the Fortune 500. In the April quarter, Snowflake added a record 27 customers with more than $1 million per year in product revenue, giving it 104 such customers overall.\nGoldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan is bullish on Snowflake's potential to dominate in cloud-based data analytics and management.\n\"We believe Snowflake will continue to replace incumbent warehousing solutions owing to their scalable and elastic cloud native data platform while also capitalizing on net new workloads and use cases as digital transformation drives greater digitization within the enterprise, and business intelligence and analytics remains a top priority for spending,\" he said in a note.\nSNOW Stock Technical Analysis\nSnowflake stock went public on Sept. 16 at 120 a share. At the time, software growth stocks were hot as investors sought recurring revenue amid the coronavirus emergency.\nSNOW stock popped as high as 319 on the first day of trading and closed 111.6% above the IPO price at 253.93. Shares pulled back as analysts debated Snowflake's valuation.\nSnowflake stock forged acup-with-handle baseover the next two months. The new base created an entry point of 301. SNOW stock blew past the buy point, hitting an all-time high of 429 on Dec. 8.\nSnowflake stock swooned in late 2020 amid questions over its valuation even as the IBD Computer-Software Enterprise group stayed resilient. The Computer-Software Enterprise group did not break down until mid-February amid a market rotation to value.\nSnowflake stock hit a low of 184.71 on May 13.\nCanaccord Genuity analyst David Hynes said in a note that one question for investors is whether SNOW stock will trade in concert with software growth stocks. Software growth stocks have sold off onworries over inflation and rising interest rates.\nIs Snowflake Stock A Buy Right Now?\nSnowflake stock still trades at a substantial premium as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. SNOW stock holds anIBD Composite Ratingof 37 out of a best possible 99, according toIBD Stock Checkup.\nIBD's Composite Rating combines five separate proprietary ratings into one easy-to-use rating. The best growth stocks have a Composite Rating of 90 or better.\nOne plus is that Snowflake stock owns an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B, according toIBD MarketSmithanalysis. That rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading.\nThe rating, on an A+ to E scale, measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.\nSNOW stock has yet toform a basewith a proper entry point. Snowflake stock has clawed above its 50-day moving average. If it holds above the 50-day line that could kick-start the right side of a deep base.\nAs of Aug. 2, Snowflake stock is not a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":122,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805922277,"gmtCreate":1627854936299,"gmtModify":1703496464061,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"yes","listText":"yes","text":"yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/805922277","repostId":"1142925544","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1142925544","pubTimestamp":1627787240,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1142925544?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-01 11:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Investors, Beware!

As my illustrious predecessor, Alan Abelson, liked to observe, there are many good reasons to sell a stock, but expecting it to go up isn’t one of them. That has never been more true, given the ability of rich owners to monetize their assets by borrowing against them cheaply, and without incurring capital-gains taxes.</p>\n<p>To be sure, Tenev and Bhatt still have significant stakes in Robinhood. Asour colleague Avi Salzman reported, these were worth $2.5 billion at the initial offering price, and Tenev and Bhatt retain voting control. The two also could receive awards of shares worth as much as $6.7 billion for Tenev and $4 billion for Bhatt, if the stock hits $300, or nearly the proverbial ten-bagger from here.</p>\n<p>But in a blow against income inequality, the potential billionaire pair took symbolic pay cuts, to $34,248, the average annual wage of American workers.

Jefferies economists Aneta Markowska and Thomas Simons estimate that the increase could top the long-anticipated one million mark; they forecast 1.2 million.</p>\n<p>Markowska and Simons think the expiration of supplemental unemployment benefits in some states will boost the labor supply, although that is a matter of significant debate.

As my illustrious predecessor, Alan Abelson, liked to observe, there are many good reasons to sell a stock, but expecting it to go up isn’t one of them. That has never been more true, given the ability of rich owners to monetize their assets by borrowing against them cheaply, and without incurring capital-gains taxes.\nTo be sure, Tenev and Bhatt still have significant stakes in Robinhood. Asour colleague Avi Salzman reported, these were worth $2.5 billion at the initial offering price, and Tenev and Bhatt retain voting control. The two also could receive awards of shares worth as much as $6.7 billion for Tenev and $4 billion for Bhatt, if the stock hits $300, or nearly the proverbial ten-bagger from here.\nBut in a blow against income inequality, the potential billionaire pair took symbolic pay cuts, to $34,248, the average annual wage of American workers. As the comedian Yakov Smirnoff likes to say, “What a country!”\nHow those workers are faring will be a subject of the monthly employment report slated for release this coming Friday.\nEconomists’ forecasts for nonfarm payrolls center around a gain of 900,000. Jefferies economists Aneta Markowska and Thomas Simons estimate that the increase could top the long-anticipated one million mark; they forecast 1.2 million.\nMarkowska and Simons think the expiration of supplemental unemployment benefits in some states will boost the labor supply, although that is a matter of significant debate.

What are they doing for money? ","content":"<p>Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren’t doing diddly-squat. They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!</p>\n<p>How do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.</p>\n<p>I’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.</p>\n<p>It’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.</p>\n<p>As a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/056158b8fa7157238c3d1521dd05c02e\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Economists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.</p>\n<p>I’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.</p>\n<p>It’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.</p>\n<p>It’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.</p>\n<p>Still, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.</p>\n<p>To that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:</p>\n<p><b>-Unemployment insurance</b></p>\n<p>Let’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).</p>\n<p><b>-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits</b></p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53e26b293f8a939a54b78315c3375a18\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Volunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More</p>\n<p>There’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.</p>\n<p>You argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.</p>\n<p><b>-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin</b></p>\n<p>Consider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.</p>\n<p>And according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.</p>\n<p>Next let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&amp;P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.</p>\n<p>Now crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here.

They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!\nHow do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.\nI’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.\nIt’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.\nAs a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:\nChart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nEconomists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.\nI’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.\nIt’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.\nIt’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.\nStill, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.\nTo that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:\n-Unemployment insurance\nLet’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).\n-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits\nAdmittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.\nVolunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More\nThere’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.\nYou argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.\n-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin\nConsider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.\nAnd according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.\nNext let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.\nNow crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)\nRobinhood Markets, Inc.

But beneath the surface, there’s an oddly compelling case for the business and the stock.</p>\n<p>Palantir (ticker: PLTR) provides data analytics software to both commercial and government clients. The 18-year-old company has two primary platforms—Gotham, for government applications, and Foundry, for commercial customers. Palantir has a long history of serving U.S. military and intelligence agencies, but lately it’s&nbsp;been building out its sales team to bulk up its commercial business. That plan seems to be getting traction.</p>\n<p>Palantir went public in a direct listing last September, with the stock&nbsp;opening at $10. It’s since taken shareholders on a wild ride, trading as high as $45 earlier this year. It’s now around $25, still up 150% from listing day.</p>\n<p>In its&nbsp;recently reported June quarter, Palantir posted revenue of $376 million, up 49% from the year-earlier level. The company got a big boost from its U.S. commercial business, which grew 90%. Palantir sees September quarter revenue inching up to $385 million, and it continues to forecast annual top-line growth of 30%-plus through 2025.</p>\n<p>But the core story gets lost in the noise—Palantir seems to thrive on controversy. Almost everything it does is outside the box. Before last year’s stock listing, Palantir quietly moved its headquarters to Denver from Palo Alto. The reasoning boils down to politics.</p>\n<p>“When we started the company in 2004, the idea was to bring world-class software to our intelligence and military communities,” Palantir CEO Alex Karp&nbsp;told me in a June interview. “Numerous companies in Silicon Valley have refused either overtly, tacitly, or by dragging their feet, to work with the U.S. government. … I believe in general there’s a choice to be made in the world, and America has serious, rigorous, intelligent, and sometimes ruthless adversaries.”</p>\n<p>Palantir has also been doing unusual things with the $2.4 billion in cash on its balance sheet. The company is&nbsp;aggressively investing in PIPEs, or private investments in public equities, which are used in almost every SPAC merger to increase the capital raised. Palantir has&nbsp;committed $310 million across more than a dozen SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, according to its latest SEC filing. It’s completed $33 million of equity investments across three other companies.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The most recent tranche includes $20 million for Fast Radius, which offers a “cloud manufacturing platform;” $15 million for Tritium, a developer of electric vehicle chargers; $15 million for AdTheorent, which sells advertising software driven by machine learning; and $10 million for FinAccel, an Asian financial-services company.</p>\n<p>All the targets have signed up to be Palantir customers. As of June 30, Palantir said it had commercial contracts with its SPAC portfolio companies with a potential value of $428 million; the revenue contribution in the latest quarter was just $3 million, or less than 1% of the total.</p>\n<p>SPACs are a highly speculative place for a public company to be parking its cash. But I’d argue that Palantir’s decision to provide capital to new customers isn’t so different from offering vendor debt financing for hardware purchases—as&nbsp;IBM(IBM) and HP Enterprise (HPE) do—or from running robust venture capital programs, as do&nbsp;Intel(INTC) and&nbsp;Salesforce.com(CRM).</p>\n<p>Even so, it makes some analysts squeamish. “While we don’t oppose thinking outside the box, we think the strategy may have been taken too far, particularly with software contracts that appear to be negotiated alongside an investment by Palantir in the same customer,” Citi’s Tyler Radke wrote in a recent research note.</p>\n<p>The outside-the-box strategy goes beyond SPACs. This past week, Palantir disclosed that it had purchased $50.7 million worth of 100-ounce gold bars—a pretty strange move, even for Palantir. I ran a text search in the SEC’s database looking for references to gold bars, and found only references to other gold companies. The move makes&nbsp;Tesla’s(TSLA) Bitcoin purchases seem mundane.</p>\n<p>The fact that Palantir decided to buy physical gold, rather than, say, the&nbsp;SPDR Gold Shares&nbsp;ETF (GLD), makes it odder still. Palatnir ends up looking like the corporate equivalent of a doomsday prepper. I tried to follow-up with Karp to ask about the sudden interest in gold, but Palantir declined to make him available.</p>\n<p>One analyst who follows the company told me that the SPAC program and the foray into gold make Palantir a hard sell for institutional investors. You can see that in the shareholder base. Institutions hold only 25% of Palantir shares—compared with&nbsp;Oracle’s(ORCL) 46%,Snowflake’s(SNOW) 58%, and&nbsp;Microsoft’s(MSFT) 71%.</p>\n<p>But the same analyst is still bullish on Palantir and says it offers “a very interesting set of solutions to buyers that require scale and sophistication.”</p>\n<p>Palantir has a fanatical following among individual investors, and the company is playing to its fans. During its June-quarter earnings call, Palantir took nine questions from retail investors and just four from analysts.</p>\n<p>On traditional metrics, Palantir isn’t cheap. The stock trades for 25 times estimated 2022 sales. But strip away the craziness, and Palantir looks like the single best bet on the future of complex data analytics.

If this projection proves accurate, Salesforce's 20%-plus sustained growth rate should help motor its stock a lot higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":87,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898917966,"gmtCreate":1628468174955,"gmtModify":1703506428988,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586834968608355","idStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"y","listText":"y","text":"y","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898917966","repostId":"1136322726","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":884594871,"gmtCreate":1631915380393,"gmtModify":1676530666890,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586834968608355","idStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"n","listText":"n","text":"n","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/884594871","repostId":"2168752097","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2168752097","pubTimestamp":1631889000,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2168752097?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-17 22:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168752097","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"You may be surprised at the winner of this comparison.","content":"<p>Five months ago, stock for <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>) and <b>Micron Technology</b> (NASDAQ:MU) were following different trajectories when it came to their prices.

Mercury Research estimates that AMD's CPU market share reached a 14-year high in the second quarter of 2021, hitting 22.5%, an increase of 4.2 percentage points over the year-ago quarter. AMD has doubled&nbsp;its CPU market share at Intel's expense in the past two to three years, and it seems on its way to further improve its positioning thanks to an advanced manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>A stronger market share in the CPU space is going to be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of AMD's biggest catalysts, as its computing and graphics business is still quite small compared to Intel's. Similarly, AMD's gains in the server processor market could add billions of dollars to its revenue in the future.</p>\n<p>Second, AMD is on track to take advantage of growing graphics card demand. Jon Peddie Research estimates&nbsp;that it holds 17% of the discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) market, with <b>Nvidia</b> controlling the rest. There is no doubt that Nvidia is the dominant graphics card provider, but AMD investors shouldn't forget that discrete GPU sales are expected&nbsp;to jump from $29 billion in 2020 to $44 billion in 2023.</p>\n<p>If AMD continues to hold even a 20% share of the discrete GPU market in the future, it could substantially increase its revenue.</p>\n<p>Third, AMD's dominant position in video gaming consoles adds yet another potent catalyst to the company's portfolio. AMD's enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business is winning big from the <b>Sony</b> PlayStation 5 and the latest <b>Microsoft</b> Xbox consoles, which use its semi-custom chips.</p>\n<p>The EESC business is built for long-term growth as well, as the new console generation is still in its early phases. According to third-party estimates, the PS5 could clock&nbsp;67 million units in annual sales by 2024, which would be a huge jump over the 4.5 million units&nbsp;sold last year. Throw in the fact that AMD has won the contract to supply chips for an upcoming handheld gaming console that could turn out to be a big success, and it's easy to see why AMD's EESC business will keep firing on all cylinders.</p>\n<p>Given all these tailwinds, it is not surprising to see that AMD expects revenue to jump&nbsp;60% in 2021. Even better, analysts believe that the company's robust growth is here to stay for the long run, as AMD's earnings are expected to grow at an annual pace of over 32% for the next five years. As such, AMD looks all set to sustain its recent rally thanks to multiple growth drivers.</p>\n<h2>The case for Micron</h2>\n<p>Micron shares have tumbled over the past few months despite the absence of any visible signs of weakness in the company's business. The company's third-quarter revenue increased 36% year over year to $7.42 billion, while adjusted earnings per share jumped to $1.88 per share from $0.82 per share in the year-ago quarter. The strong memory pricing environment sent Micron's operating income to 31.9% during the quarter from 18% in the year-ago period.</p>\n<p>What's more, Micron's guidance suggests that it isn't going to run out of steam. The company expects $8.2 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and earnings of $2.30 per share, which would translate into 35% year-over-year revenue growth and a sharp jump from the prior-year period's earnings of $1.08 per share. It is surprising to see Micron shares taking a beating despite such outstanding numbers. But investors' trepidation seems justified, as drops in memory prices have historically been bad news for the company.</p>\n<p>However, the massive end-market demand for memory chips suggests that memory prices may continue to hold up. For instance, memory industry market research provider TrendForce estimates&nbsp;that robust demand from data center servers could push up server DRAM (dynamic random access memory) prices by 5% to 10% in the current quarter.</p>\n<p>More importantly, the server market is set up for long-term growth. Mordor Intelligence estimates&nbsp;a 12% annual increase in enterprise server spending through 2026 on account of the deployment of hyperscale data centers and increased server storage demand. A similar scenario is unfolding in the mobile DRAM market, where the deployment of 5G smartphones has led to a sharp increase in demand.</p>\n<p>Counterpoint Research estimates that mobile DRAM revenue increased 30% year over year in the first quarter of 2021 thanks to an increase in the average DRAM capacity per smartphone. As 5G smartphones are being equipped with more DRAM and are still in their early phases of growth, Micron should continue witnessing healthy demand from this market.</p>\n<p>With mobile and servers accounting for nearly three-fourths of the overall DRAM market, investors' fear of a drop-off in memory demand could remain unjustified. Finally, the secular catalysts Micron stands to gain from could result in a massive acceleration in its revenue and earnings over the coming years, according to analysts' estimates.</p>\n<p>In fact, analysts expect&nbsp;Micron's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate of 58% for the next five years, which is substantially higher than what's expected from AMD.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>By now it should be evident that both Micron and AMD can continue to sustain their impressive growth in the future. As such, investors can't go too far wrong with either stock.</p>\n<p>However, those looking for a value play right now have a solid reason to buy Micron stock, as it is trading&nbsp;at just 20 times trailing earnings. The forward earnings multiple of just 7 makes it even more attractive when compared to AMD, which trades at a multiple of 35. So investors with a higher risk appetite can still go for AMD, as its premium seems justified, while those looking to buy a growth stock on the cheap should take a closer look at Micron Technology.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Better Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBetter Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-17 22:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/17/better-buy-amd-vs-micron-technology/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Five months ago, stock for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) were following different trajectories when it came to their prices.

Its gain of 1,266% during that period far outpaces the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s 240% return. But share prices have stalled as of late, as the stock has not moved much in the past 12 months and is down 4% in 2021.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Netflix is becoming too big -- its market cap has already exceeded $220 billion. At that scale, innovation becomes harder to achieve, while the rise of competitors makes it easier for existing subscribers to flake. However, it's not just intense competition that is causing trouble.</p>\n<p> A new practice is rapidly revolutionizing the streaming world that potentially has stock price implications. Let's look at why investors should be cautious about investing in Netflix.&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df63c30b571ad23f98676758ab77e6ea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The devil in the detail&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Netflix had a pretty amazing second quarter; its revenue went up 19.4% year over year to $7.34 billion. Simultaneously, the company's net income increased by 88% in the same period to $1.35 billion. Those are superb results, but <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> metric has puzzled analysts and investors alike: the recent loss of 430,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. </p>\n<p>Some say it's due to the popularity of other streaming services like <b>Walt</b> <b>Disney</b>'s Disney+&nbsp;or <b>Amazon</b> Prime taking market share. Some observe that as venues reopen following last year's lockdowns, people want to get out of the house and travel instead of sitting and home and watching movies. Others point to features like multi-device streaming that makes getting more than one subscription redundant. But I think there is another risk factor that investors aren't seeing.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>The major risk ahead&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Over the past few years, a practice known as synchronized viewing (or screen sharing) has gained momentum. This allows individuals to stream movies or TV shows directly to their family and friends free of charge. Intellectual property laws and their enforcement are somewhat archaic -- they have not caught on to the practice, so the whole thing is a grey area. For example, a user on the popular social app Discord can stream Netflix content to as many as 50 people at the same time. These instances are commonly known as \"movie nights.\" </p>\n<p>It's obvious why the practice is bad for the stock here. Only one person in the community needs a Netflix subscription to go live with the stream -- saving others a lot of money over the long run. One could realize additional savings by streaming in standard definition instead of high definition. Moreover, the rise of 5G will only make synchronized viewing more popular. Bored after a walk on the beach at a holiday resort? Just pull up an app that allows one to watch Netflix content together with friends -- anytime, anywhere.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>There is no data on the phenomena per se as it is a fairly recent trend (but rapidly gaining in popularity). However, there are countless articles from major outlets regarding how to screen share and host virtual movie nights on services like Discord. By the way, that app has more than 150 million monthly active users and 19 million servers. Of course, the practice doesn't affect hard-line Netflix subscribers, but it does offer an enticing alternative for those who don't use it quite as often and can just \"limp in\" once a week to a stream with friends. Companies like Amazon have already caught on to the practice and have features that only allow Prime Members to join in on watch parties. But like Netflix, Amazon doesn't have the ability to prevent streams on third-party software.</p>\n<h2>What's the verdict?&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>At this point, investors are still viewing Netflix stock as one that will achieve growth over an infinite horizon.

Its gain of 1,266% during that period far outpaces the S&P 500's 240% return. But share prices have stalled as of late, as the stock has not moved much in the past 12 months and is down 4% in 2021. \nNetflix is becoming too big -- its market cap has already exceeded $220 billion. At that scale, innovation becomes harder to achieve, while the rise of competitors makes it easier for existing subscribers to flake. However, it's not just intense competition that is causing trouble.\n A new practice is rapidly revolutionizing the streaming world that potentially has stock price implications. Let's look at why investors should be cautious about investing in Netflix. \nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe devil in the detail \nNetflix had a pretty amazing second quarter; its revenue went up 19.4% year over year to $7.34 billion. Simultaneously, the company's net income increased by 88% in the same period to $1.35 billion. Those are superb results, but one metric has puzzled analysts and investors alike: the recent loss of 430,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. \nSome say it's due to the popularity of other streaming services like Walt Disney's Disney+ or Amazon Prime taking market share. Some observe that as venues reopen following last year's lockdowns, people want to get out of the house and travel instead of sitting and home and watching movies. Others point to features like multi-device streaming that makes getting more than one subscription redundant. But I think there is another risk factor that investors aren't seeing. \nThe major risk ahead \nOver the past few years, a practice known as synchronized viewing (or screen sharing) has gained momentum. This allows individuals to stream movies or TV shows directly to their family and friends free of charge. Intellectual property laws and their enforcement are somewhat archaic -- they have not caught on to the practice, so the whole thing is a grey area. For example, a user on the popular social app Discord can stream Netflix content to as many as 50 people at the same time. These instances are commonly known as \"movie nights.\" \nIt's obvious why the practice is bad for the stock here. Only one person in the community needs a Netflix subscription to go live with the stream -- saving others a lot of money over the long run. One could realize additional savings by streaming in standard definition instead of high definition. Moreover, the rise of 5G will only make synchronized viewing more popular. Bored after a walk on the beach at a holiday resort? Just pull up an app that allows one to watch Netflix content together with friends -- anytime, anywhere. \nThere is no data on the phenomena per se as it is a fairly recent trend (but rapidly gaining in popularity). However, there are countless articles from major outlets regarding how to screen share and host virtual movie nights on services like Discord. By the way, that app has more than 150 million monthly active users and 19 million servers. Of course, the practice doesn't affect hard-line Netflix subscribers, but it does offer an enticing alternative for those who don't use it quite as often and can just \"limp in\" once a week to a stream with friends. Companies like Amazon have already caught on to the practice and have features that only allow Prime Members to join in on watch parties. But like Netflix, Amazon doesn't have the ability to prevent streams on third-party software.\nWhat's the verdict? \nAt this point, investors are still viewing Netflix stock as one that will achieve growth over an infinite horizon. It currently trades for 8.5 times sales and 53.4 times earnings. But be warned -- the widespread adoption of synchronized viewing has made it far more economical to cancel one's Netflix subscription and just watch the same content on the friend's stream. Until Netflix does something about the practice, such as lobbying politicians to update intellectual property laws (which would inevitably anger a lot of subscribers), investors should expect subscriber count in the U.S. and Canada to continue to decline or stagnate.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":15,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":892913561,"gmtCreate":1628632905453,"gmtModify":1676529800150,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586834968608355","idStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"y","listText":"y","text":"y","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/892913561","repostId":"1132796864","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1132796864","pubTimestamp":1628608992,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1132796864?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-10 23:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coinbase's Head Of Capital Markets Resigns After Crypto Exchange Reportedly Shifts Focus","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1132796864","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Brett Redfearn, who headed capital markets at Coinbase Global Inc(NASDAQ:COIN), has resigned from hi","content":"<p>Brett Redfearn, who headed capital markets at&nbsp;<b>Coinbase Global Inc</b>(NASDAQ:COIN), has resigned from his position at the crypto exchange.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened:</b>According to a report from theWall Street Journal, people familiar with the matter disclosed that his reasons for leaving Coinbase had to do with the crypto-exchange shifting its focus away from digital asset securities.</p>\n<p>Redfearn was one of Coinbase’s most high-profile hires, having served as the former director of trading and markets at the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before joining the crypto exchange.</p>\n<p>The executive joined Coinbase’s ranks just two weeks before the exchange’s public listing.</p>\n<p>Ablog postfrom Coinbase’s Chief Product Officer Surojit Chatterjee in March described Redfearn’s role at the company as the person responsible for defining and driving a vision and strategy to set the global standard for crypto capital markets, including digital asset securities and its crypto trading platform.</p>\n<p>“I believe that a digitized trading ecosystem can help democratize retail investors’ ability to access our capital markets on a fair and level playing field.

The update, known as iOS 14.5, allows iPhone and iPad users to limit companies from tracking their device’s activity. This makes it difficult for companies like Facebook to target users with personalized ads.\nNo company complained more about the impact of iOS 14.5 than Facebook, which warned that the change to the Apple software would impact small businesses’ ability to market to their customers. For a while now, Facebook has warned investors to brace for “ad targeting headwinds” related to Apple’s changes, as well as others in the internet landscape.\nThe social media giant is scheduled to release earnings Wednesday, July 28 after the bell.\nFacebook’s revenue for the second quarter, their guidance for the rest of the year and any commentary from the company’s executives during its earnings call will be telling. This quarter’s results could provide insight as to how many users opted to restrict Facebook’s tracking and whether the social media company has been able to navigate those restrictions.\n“The changes went into effect during the quarter, and we’re still seeing the rollout of the 14.5 update,” said Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst at eMarketer. “I’m going to be very curious.”\nAlready, Facebook’s peers have navigated the challenge’s of iOS 14.5 with few setbacks. Snap, for example,was not affected by the Apple update as it had anticipated, telling analysts on its earnings call on Thursday that it had observed “higher opt-in rates than we are seeing reported generally across the industry.”Twitterechoed the sentiment, telling shareholders that the effect of Apple’s changes was lower than expected. Both companies did warn that the long-term impacts of iOS 14.5 remain to be seen, but so far, the early returns have been promising.\nHere are three Facebook storylines to follow when the company announces its second-quarter earnings:\n1. Facebook’s commerce business\nIn an effort to combat the restrictions of Apple’s iOS 14.5 update, Facebook has been ramping up its efforts to bring more commerce directly into its own apps.\nIt did this last year by introducing Facebook Shops and Instagram Shops, and more recently, the company announced plans to introduce more ways for creators to promote shoppable products through their Instagram accounts. Further,Facebook in June announced its plans to bring shops to WhatsApp, a messaging service.\nBy having users make purchases from advertisers directly on its own apps, Facebook is able to directly measure the effectiveness of its ads and provide those stats to advertisers.\nAlready, Facebook claims more than 300 million monthly Shops visitors and 1.2 million monthly active Shops across its apps. Any updates from Facebook regarding its commerce efforts will be worthwhile for investors.\n“While Q2 is not historically a big commerce quarter, social commerce is clearly coming into its own,” said Ron Josey, JMP Securities managing director.\n2. Covid’s impact on app usage\nInvestors will want to know whether the economic reopening and the expansion of Covid-19 vaccines have affected the amount of time users spend on Facebook and its various apps.\nA year ago when people worldwide were forced indoors, Facebook and other consumer apps saw their usage skyrocket as people sought to stay connected. Now, investors will want to know if that usage has taken a hit or will it continue growing.\n“Now that people are out and getting around, are they posting more or are they living in the real world? What are they doing?” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer of Bokeh Capital.\nAdding a twist to this, however, is the growing spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus. As cases start to rise again in the U.S., investors will want to know what kind of effect, if any, the delta variant could have on Facebook usage.\n3. The regulatory outlook\nFacebook has been under the microscope of lawmakers and regulators worldwide since the company’s March 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which it was reported that a political consulting firm had improperly accessed the data of 87 million Facebook profiles in a bid to influence the 2016 presidential election.\nThis quarter included some major news regarding all of that regulatory pressure.\nMost notably,Facebook scored a major win in late June when a federal court dismissed an antitrust complaint from the Federal Trade Commission against the company as well as a parallel case brought by 48 state attorneys general. Those fights aren’t quite over just yet, but they certainly relieved some of Facebook’s headaches.\nFurther, the company came under more scrutiny in July when the Biden administration scolded the social media company for not doing enough to combat misinformation on its services that discourage people from taking Covid-19 vaccines. At one point, President Joe Biden said “they’re killing people” in regards to the misinformation on Facebook.\nHearing directly from Facebook’s leaders on their outlook for regulatory pressure following these two developments would be welcome insight for investors.\n“Getting out from underneath the FTC investigation, for the moment, takes a big weight off of Facebook’s back, but the regulatory environment isn’t getting any easier anytime soon,” said Daniel Newman, principal analyst at Futurum Research.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":211,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":881348797,"gmtCreate":1631309422019,"gmtModify":1676530524134,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586834968608355","idStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"h","listText":"h","text":"h","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/881348797","repostId":"1134155855","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897325953,"gmtCreate":1628893042772,"gmtModify":1676529884846,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586834968608355","idStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"y","listText":"y","text":"y","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/897325953","repostId":"2159218437","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2159218437","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1628867760,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2159218437?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-13 23:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla's Berlin factory to fix 'logistical nightmare' for EV maker, Wedbush says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2159218437","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Tesla Inc.'s $$ Berlin factory being slated for production in the fall is \"a positive step on expanding Tesla's broader manufacturing capacity globally,\" Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a note Friday.
