One example is found with a list of Bill Gates stocks.</p><p>This article will examine three of our favorite names among the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation. The portfolio holds just 21 common stocks.</p><p>In this article, we will examine three of our dividend-paying favorites in the portfolio.</p><p>They are:</p><ul><li><b>Microsoft</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>)</li><li><b>Walmart</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>)</li><li><b>Waste Management</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WM</u></b>)</li></ul><p>Bill Gates Stocks: Microsoft (MSFT)</p><p>First up on our list of Bill Gates stocks is the company Gates used to lead, Microsoft, which also happens to be one of the largest companies in the world.</p><p>The company develops, manufactures, and sells software and hardware to businesses and consumers. Microsoft’s products include operating systems, business software, software development tools, cloud services and video games and gaming hardware. The $2.5 trillion company has annual revenues of $168 billion. Microsoft is the seventh largest holding in the Gates Foundation’s portfolio.</p><p>To reach a market capitalization of Microsoft’s size takes multiple competitive advantages to achieve.</p><p>Microsoft’s transition to cloud computing service during the middle of the previous decade has positioned the company as the top name in an expanding industry. Some estimates put the global cloud computing market size at $445 billion for 2021, but the size of the market could more than double by 2026.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic probably accelerated the move to cloud as business, schools, government, and other institutions and industries moved online over the last two years. Microsoft’s Azure has had extensive growth as customers seek out the company’s offerings. For context, Microsoft’s cloud business generated nearly $21 billion in revenue in its most recent quarter.</p><p>The company’s personal computing segment also remains a core business, but has expanded beyond just operating systems to include gaming, search, advertising, news and tablets. Microsoft’s Office 365 business has seen impressive growth rates once the product lineup moved to a software-as-a-service system, including a 23% improvement in revenue last quarter. This recurring revenue stream provides Microsoft with an abundance of cash to deploy for acquisitions, share repurchase or dividends.</p><p>Microsoft has one of the best balance sheets in the entire market. The company is one of just two that has a AAA credit rating, the highest credit rating available. Microsoft’s business has been so successful at generating cash that the company had nearly $130 billion of cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet against $50 billion of long-term debt.</p><p>Microsoft has used its abundance of free cash flow to provide 20 consecutive years of dividend growth. The dividend yield is just 0.8%, but the expected payout ratio for the current fiscal year is very low at 28%.</p><p>With strong growth rates, including an earnings-per-share CAGR of close to 27% over the past five fiscal years, and a leadership position in nearly all of its businesses, it is likely that Microsoft will continue to see excellent results as well as raise its dividend going forward.</p><p>Walmart (WMT)</p><p>The next among our Bill Gates stocks is Walmart, which is the largest retail chain in the world. The company opened its first discount store in 1945, but today has operations around the world.</p><p>Walmart has a market capitalization of more than $400 billion and generates annual revenue of $545 billion. Walmart checks in as the fifth largest position in the portfolio.</p><p>Like Microsoft, Walmart benefits from a massive presence in its industry. The company has close to 3,570 supercenters, 800 Neighborhood Markets and 600 Sam’s Clubs in the U.S. alone. Walmart also has a strong international presence as the company has another 6,100 stores spread over 25 different countries around the world.</p><p>It is estimated that Walmart sees 230 million customers each week around the world. This provides the company an extremely large customer base, something that very few, if any, other retailers can claim.</p><p>The reach of the company is one of the primary reasons that Walmart can keep its prices on everyday items low as merchants want access to the customer base. Another factor in keeping prices low is that Walmart’s distribution network reduces the cost of transporting goods to stores.</p><p>Walmart’s low prices are always attractive to consumers, especially under recessionary conditions when budgets become tighter. This helps to shield the company from declines in revenue and earnings-per-share even in the event of an economic downturn. The company’s performance during the Great Recession speaks to this as earnings-per-share grew high single-digits each year during the 2007 to 2009 time period.</p><p>The company also prospered during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic as revenue climbed higher every quarter during calendar year 2020. Higher demand during the height of the pandemic wasn’t a one-off event either. The two-year stack rates for revenue growth are in the high single-digit to low double-digit range for each of the last four quarters. Comparable sales were up nearly 16% on a two-year stack basis in the most recent quarter. Top-line gains have been abundant over the medium-term as year-over-year revenue has shown improvement every quarter for the past five years.</p><p>Walmart’s most recent focus has been on building its e-commerce business, something that likely will provide meaningful lift to the business. E-commerce really took off in 2020, as sales through this channel were up 79% as consumers used online shopping to meet their needs during the pandemic. Again, this was far from a one-time event as e-commerce sales were higher by 8% in the third-quarter of fiscal year 2022, showing that this channel remains an important avenue for revenue growth.</p><p>Walmart’s successful execution of its business model over the years has enabled the company to grow its dividend for 48 consecutive years, putting the company just two years shy of reaching Dividend King status. The stock offers a market beating dividend yield of 1.6% that looks very safe due to the projected payout ratio of 34% for the year.</p><p>With a large footprint worldwide and a growing e-commerce business, Walmart should remain one of the leading retailers in the market place.</p><p>Bill Gates Stocks: Waste Management (WM)</p><p>Last on our list of Bill Gates stocks is Waste Management, a leading provider of waste management services. The company provides a wide range of services, including collection, transfer, disposal and recycling.</p><p>Waste Management produced revenue of $15 billion last year and is valued at $68 billion today. The stock is the second largest position in Gates Foundation’s portfolio.</p><p>Waste Management is the largest provider of waste services in North America. The company owns and operates close to 270 landfills, 348 transformation stations and 103 material recovery facilities.</p><p>In total, the company’s customer list numbers more than 21 million. There are just a few major names in the industry, giving Waste Management an edge on the competition just due to its size. This also provides the company the ability to increase prices while not risking the loss of its customer base.</p><p>Waste Management has also taken steps to augment its business by acquiring smaller companies. For example, the company purchased Advanced Disposal in late October 2020. The transaction enlarged Waste Management’s footprint as Advanced Disposal provides waste management and recycling services to approximately 3 million commercial, industrial, and residential customers in 16 states in the eastern portion of the country.</p><p>Acquisitions, combined with volume growth, led to a more than 20% increase in revenue in the most recent quarter. Earnings-per-share also grew significantly, providing further evidence that Waste Management has recovered from the pandemic.</p><p>The company has seen an impact from wage inflation in its business, but Waste Management is helping to nullify these pressures with price increases across most of its contracts.</p><p>Waste collection has proven to be a good business to be in even in a recession. The company saw relatively stable earnings results during the last recession. Covid-19 was a slight negative impact on results last year. However, Waste Management is expected to see a new high for earnings-per-share for 2021, speaking to the quality and resilient nature of the company’s business.</p><p>Waste Management has a solid dividend growth streak of its own, having raised distributions for the last 18 years. The stock’s yield comes in at 1.4%. Waste Management has a projected payout ratio for 2021 of 47%. The company’s leadership position in its industry coupled with strategic acquisitions should provide ongoing tailwinds to Waste Management’s business, likely leading to future dividend growth.</p><p>Final Thoughts</p><p>Looking at the holdings of well-known investors can provide the average investor with a list of quality companies to choose from.</p><p>Microsoft, Walmart, and Waste Management are three of the largest positions in the Gates Foundation’ portfolio. Each name is blessed with multiple competitive advantages that sets the companies apart from their respective peer group.</p><p>All three stocks have dividend-growth streaks of at least 18 years, which means each has increased its dividend through at least one recession and one Covid-19 impact year.</p><p>The yields for all three stocks are on the low side, but each business appears primed for continued strength, which will likely lead to continued dividend growth.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Top Bill Gates Stocks for Dividend Growth Investors</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Top Bill Gates Stocks for Dividend Growth Investors\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-10 10:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/01/3-top-bill-gates-stocks-for-dividend-growth-investors/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors looking for high-quality dividend growth stocks to buy for the long term can gain valuable insights by reviewing the holdings of successful investors.

Each name is blessed with multiple competitive advantages that sets the companies apart from their respective peer group.All three stocks have dividend-growth streaks of at least 18 years, which means each has increased its dividend through at least one recession and one Covid-19 impact year.The yields for all three stocks are on the low side, but each business appears primed for continued strength, which will likely lead to continued dividend growth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":390,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869296023,"gmtCreate":1632288515762,"gmtModify":1676530744058,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Prefer Walt Disney","listText":"Prefer Walt Disney","text":"Prefer Walt Disney","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869296023","repostId":"2169397156","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2169397156","pubTimestamp":1632279600,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2169397156?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-22 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These 3 Dow Stocks Are Set to Soar in 2021's Second Half and Beyond","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2169397156","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Scoop up these underestimated blue chips while they're not getting much love from the market.","content":"<p>The current market environment certainly looks less than bullish. Valuations were already stretched thin thanks to the big rally from lows hit in March of last year when the pandemic was starting to spread in earnest. The recent weakness topped off by Monday's meltdown, however, sends a message.</p>\n<p>That message is: investors are nervous enough to start locking in their profits. The fact that it's September -- typically <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the worst months of the year for stocks -- only adds to the market's woes.</p>\n<p>If you can look past the present and into the future though, you'll find there are plenty of blue-chip names poised to end the year on a bullish foot and start 2022 with the same momentum. Here's a rundown of three such names that also happen to be components in the <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b> (DJINDICES:^DJI).</p>\n<h2>1. Merck &amp; Co.</h2>\n<p>It's interesting. While shares of<b> Merck &amp; Co.</b> (NYSE:MRK) participated in the initial rebound rally in March of last year, it dropped out of the effort by April and has been a laggard ever since. In fact, Merck's stock is a mere 14% above its March-2020 low, and down 17% from its pre-pandemic peak. Not being a real contender in the race to create a COVID-19 vaccine only exacerbated investors' disinterest in Merck; the pharmaceutical giant was already out of favor due to the sheer logistical challenges caused by the pandemic itself.</p>\n<p>Lost in all the recent noise of the coronavirus contagion, though, is the fact that this is Merck, which still boasts an incredible drug portfolio that includes cancer-fighting drug Keytruda. This drug alone accounted for $14.4 billion of Merck's 2020 revenue of $48 billion, upping the therapy's total sales by 30% year over year. But that's nowhere near the drug's full potential. As more and more uses are identified, some analysts believe Keytruda could produce annualized revenue on the order of $22 billion while other analysts have tossed around a peak-sales figure of $30 billion. It's a stretch goal to be sure, but even if Merck only gets halfway to that target it would still be a big victory.</p>\n<p>Nothing about Merck stock's recent performance indicates Keytruda's potential is being factored in. But, as the pandemic fades and allows investors to renew their focus on other matters, Merck shares are in a position to perk up.</p>\n<p>The kicker: Newcomers will be stepping in while Merck's dividend yield is a healthy 3.6%.</p>\n<h2>2. Walt Disney</h2>\n<p>Much like Merck, shares of<b> Walt Disney </b>(NYSE:DIS) have been oddly poor performers of late. While the stock soared over the course of most of last year and into early this year, it's been mostly stagnant since April -- stagnant at a price that's 12% below March's peak. It's arguably one of the market's best reopening plays, but that nuance may also be over-reflected in the stock's 150% rally from last March's low to this March's high.</p>\n<p>There may be more meat on the bone left to eat, though, so to speak. This Dow component may be ready to rekindle its bullishness as things ease back to normal this year and into the next.</p>\n<p>One hint of this impending renormalization is the recent decision to stop selling new-release films through Disney+ at the same time they're showing in theaters. The entertainment media giant doesn't need to employ the potentially cannibalistic approach anymore to draw consumers to Disney+, nor does Disney need to worry about wary consumers steering clear of movie theaters. Its recently released <i>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings</i> just broke domestic box office records for a Labor Day weekend, confirming that consumers are ready, willing, and able to visit theaters.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, while the company's U.S. parks and experiences arm's revenue is only about two-thirds of what it was in 2019 before the pandemic took hold, that's still up from practically nil as of this time last year. Disney's revamped international streaming services are also still relatively nascent in markets like Latin America, India, and different parts of Europe. This sets the stage for unexpected growth sooner rather than later.</p>\n<h2>3. Home Depot</h2>\n<p>Finally, add home improvement retailer <b>The Home Depot</b> (NYSE:HD) to your list of Dow Jones stocks ready to rally later this year and into 2022.</p>\n<p>It's another one of those names that soared for the better part of 2020 and through the early part of 2021 only to peter out in recent weeks. Homebuying and remodeling may have been red hot thanks to motivators like low interest rates and people spending more time in their homes. This trend, however, has seemingly run its course.</p>\n<p>HD stock's just been choppy and relatively unproductive since May, with much of that wheel-spinning being the result of slowing growth. While last quarter's sales and earnings both topped estimates, U.S. same-store sales growth of 3.4% for the three-month stretch ending in July loosely implies people have completed all the at-home projects they care to for the time being.</p>\n<p>Then there's the not-so-minor fact that Home Depot shares are priced at more than 22 times this year's projected profits, and almost 22 times 2022's earnings estimates. That sort of pricing doesn't make it feel like there's much room left for more upside.</p>\n<p>Don't be too quick to jump to conclusions about how consumers are feeling and subsequently acting, though. While it was largely buried by other, noisier news, homebuilder confidence moved higher this month -- for the first time in three months -- after reaching a 13-month low in August. Falling materials prices were the prompt for the recovery. In the meantime August's retail sales in the U.S. grew rather than contracting as expected, suggesting consumers are still spending on goods and services outside of the home construction market. The stock's recent lethargy is ultimately a buying opportunity.</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>These 3 Dow Stocks Are Set to Soar in 2021's Second Half and Beyond</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\">\nThese 3 Dow Stocks Are Set to Soar in 2021's Second Half and Beyond\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-22 11:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/21/dow-stocks-set-to-soar-2021-2nd-half/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The current market environment certainly looks less than bullish.

Unity is an advanced game development engine that powers over half of the world's mobile, PC, and console games.</p>\n<p>Roblox encourages users to monetize their games with an in-app currency called Robux within its walled garden. Unity offers developers more flexible tools for integrating in-app ads, in-app purchases, and other features into their games.</p>\n<p>The bulls claim Roblox's self-sustaining cycle of content creation, self-promotion, and monetization will fuel its long-term growth. The bears will point out that half of the platform's daily active users (DAUs) are under the age of 13, and they might eventually grow out of Roblox's simple experiences or graduate to a more advanced game development engine like Unity.</p>\n<p>The bulls will point to Roblox's growth rates. Between the first quarters of 2018 and 2021, Roblox's DAUs more than quadrupled from 10.3 million to 42.1 million, its total hours engaged surged from 2.1 billion to 9.7 billion, and its average bookings per DAU jumped from $11.62 to $15.48.</p>\n<p>Roblox's revenue rose 56% in 2019, soared 82% in 2020, and analysts expect 167% growth this year. But next year, they expect its revenue to rise just 26% after the pandemic ends and more students return to school.</p>\n<p>The bears will point out Roblox isn't profitable, and it probably can't achieve profitability without reducing its exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Robux for developers. However, doing so could alienate its developers and throttle the platform's output of new content.</p>\n<h2>Why Roblox probably can't hit $1 trillion by 2030</h2>\n<p>Even if Roblox maintains a premium price-to-sales ratio of 20 through 2030, it would need to generate $50 billion in annual sales to hit the $1 trillion mark. Roblox generated just $933 million in revenues in 2020, so it would need to generate a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 50% to hit $50 billion by 2030.</p>\n<p>If Roblox's valuations cool off, as they'll likely do over the years, it will need to generate an ever higher CAGR to become a $1 trillion company. By comparison, Amazon grew its revenues at a CAGR of 27.4% over the past decade -- and it currently trades at just four times this year's sales. Therefore, it seems highly unlikely Roblox will become a $1 trillion company within the next decade.</p>\n<p>But that doesn't mean Roblox won't generate multibagger gains over the next decade. It could remain popular long after the pandemic passes, attract a new generation of younger users, and launch more powerful tools for advanced users. As it continues to expand, economies of scale should kick in and strengthen its earnings growth. Therefore, Roblox could still have plenty of room to run -- just don't expect it to join the 12-zero club anytime soon.</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>Will Roblox Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2030?</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\">\nWill Roblox Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2030?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-11 10:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/10/will-roblox-be-a-trillion-dollar-stock-by-2030/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Only a handful of tech companies have ever become $1 trillion companies.

Patience.”\n“#ApesNotLeaving,”Trey tweeted three hours later.\nThe cry grew louder as AMC and GameStop shares fell, prompting many on Reddit to rap their fellow “paper-handed Apes” on their allegorical knuckles for potentially selling out as the stocks fell, while also lashing out at hedge funds for creating what they saw as an artificial dip.\n“Who will be buying AMC today when market opens?” posited an 8am EST post from Hot-Brief-779 on popular subreddit r/AMCStock.\n“I will buy more after it drops even lower!,” responded ApopkaHoosier, one of the more than 570 users to do so. “[Hedge funds] want me to be filthy rich when this squeezes!”\nTrading volume in GameStop was almost one-third its daily average on Thursday, but AMC shares were just off the mark, and the movement around that stock was even frothier with social media mentions of the theater chain trending on their own. #AMCThreshold and #AMCSTRONG were particularly popular hashtags.\nIf anything, Thursday’s move proved that there is no power stronger in the meme stock scene than the notion that retail investors have been conquered by short sellers.\nOne tweet that summed up the day’s parabolic move made it colorfully blunt that the retail crowd is not done with its quest for “MOASS”: The Mother of All Short Squeezes.\n“If you even remotely try to argue that millions woke up at exactly 4 AM, to sell off massive amounts of shares to cause simultaneous MASSIVE dumps across multiple stocks & Crypto you’re f***ing delusional,”tweeted @Katniss_AMC. “This is gonna be wild.”\n“#APESNOTLEAVING,” she concluded.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":296,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143460940,"gmtCreate":1625809816780,"gmtModify":1703749018826,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is time to buy tencent n alibaba","listText":"Is time to buy tencent n alibaba","text":"Is time to buy tencent n alibaba","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/143460940","repostId":"2150732774","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2150732774","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1625806504,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2150732774?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-09 12:55","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"China stocks fall after inflation data; Hong Kong up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2150732774","media":"Reuters","summary":"* SSEC -0.7%, CSI300 -1.1%, HSI 0.7%\n* HK->Shanghai Connect daily quota used 0.7%, Shanghai->HK dail","content":"<p>* SSEC -0.7%, CSI300 -1.1%, HSI 0.7%</p>\n<p>* HK-&gt;Shanghai Connect daily quota used 0.7%, Shanghai-&gt;HK daily quota used 1.2%</p>\n<p>* FTSE China A50 -1.2%</p>\n<p>SHANGHAI, July 9 (Reuters) - China stocks fell on Friday, and are on track to post a weekly loss, as data showed the country's annual factory gate inflation remained uncomfortably high and underlined growing strains on the economy.</p>\n<p>** The CSI300 index fell 1.1% to 5,034.76 points at the end of the morning session, while the Shanghai Composite Index dipped 0.7% to 3,501.16 points.</p>\n<p>** Shenzhen's start-up board ChiNext shed 1.2%, while Shanghai's tech-focused STAR50 index lost 2.5%.</p>\n<p>** For the week, CSI300 declined 0.9%, while SSEC lost 0.5%.</p>\n<p>** China's factory gate inflation eased in June, but the annual rate stayed high.

ARK Invest's Cathie Wood is seeing her exchange-traded fun","content":"<p>Last year's market guru is rolling again. ARK Invest's Cathie Wood is seeing her exchange-traded funds (ETFs)bounce back in recent weeks, regaining the momentum that made her high-growth investing style the envy of fund managers in 2020.</p>\n<p>She's been shopping for bargains these days, and with her strong track record she may have found some this week. On Tuesday she increased her positions in<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">Walt Disney</a></b>(NYSE: DIS),<b>DocuSign</b>(NASDAQ: DOCU), and<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b>(NYSE: PATH). Let's take a closer look at her shopping list.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6d9ca3c185b1bc045d69bb06287cc7e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"394\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">Walt Disney</a>.</p>\n<p><b>Walt Disney</b></p>\n<p>Disney isn't a name investors typically associate with Wood's aggressive growth style of investing, but there's no denying that the House of Mouse can be disruptive. It's a major player in streaming with the success of Disney+ and Hulu. Its 10-figure acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm give it an unmatched catalog of intellectual property. Disney's theme parks are the most visited gated attractions in the world.</p>\n<p>Disney hit an all-time high just above $203 four months ago, fueled by the success of Disney+ and the market anticipating a reopening of the economy. It has given back some of those gains, and now tradesnearly 15% awayfrom revisiting that high-water mark.</p>\n<p>It's hard to bet against Disney. Disney+ has been around for less than two years, and it has already topped 100 million subscribers. Disney films routinely top box office reports, and now that folks are returning to the multiplex, theme park, and eventually cruise ship, Disney is everywhere families will be in the near future.</p>\n<p><b>DocuSign</b></p>\n<p>The pandemic made in-office signing of contracts, leases, and other important documents a thing of the past, and there's no going back to wet signatures now. DocuSign has emerged as a niche leader in this booming field, and unlike many companies that thrived through the COVID-19 crisis it's easy to see DocuSign continuing to grow in the next phase of humanity's recovery.</p>\n<p>DocuSign has evolved into a full digital documents management specialist, and the growth has been stellar. Revenue rose 39% and then 49% in its last two fiscal years, and the 58% increase it posted in its latest report is its headiest growth as a public company.</p>\n<p>This isn't just a top-line growth story. DocuSign is now profitable, and it has beaten Wall Street's profit target by at least 57% in each of the past quarters. The stock peaked in the fall of last year, butit's been rallyingto the point that it's just a good trading day away or two from setting a new high.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b></p>\n<p>Finally we have to talk about UiPath. Wood added to her UiPath position in three of ARK Invest's ETFs. UiPath isn't a household name, but it's a name that growth investors are warming up to as a leading provider of enterprise software for robotics and automation.</p>\n<p>UiPath has been public forless than three months, but it's been a wild ride. UiPath went public at $56, peaking at $90 in May before falling back to the high $60s. UiPath is living up to the initial hype with its growth.

ARK Invest's Cathie Wood is seeing her exchange-traded funds (ETFs)bounce back in recent weeks, regaining the momentum that made her high-growth investing style the envy of fund managers in 2020.\nShe's been shopping for bargains these days, and with her strong track record she may have found some this week. On Tuesday she increased her positions inWalt Disney(NYSE: DIS),DocuSign(NASDAQ: DOCU), andUiPath(NYSE: PATH). Let's take a closer look at her shopping list.Image source: Walt Disney.\nWalt Disney\nDisney isn't a name investors typically associate with Wood's aggressive growth style of investing, but there's no denying that the House of Mouse can be disruptive. It's a major player in streaming with the success of Disney+ and Hulu. Its 10-figure acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm give it an unmatched catalog of intellectual property. Disney's theme parks are the most visited gated attractions in the world.\nDisney hit an all-time high just above $203 four months ago, fueled by the success of Disney+ and the market anticipating a reopening of the economy. It has given back some of those gains, and now tradesnearly 15% awayfrom revisiting that high-water mark.\nIt's hard to bet against Disney. Disney+ has been around for less than two years, and it has already topped 100 million subscribers. Disney films routinely top box office reports, and now that folks are returning to the multiplex, theme park, and eventually cruise ship, Disney is everywhere families will be in the near future.\nDocuSign\nThe pandemic made in-office signing of contracts, leases, and other important documents a thing of the past, and there's no going back to wet signatures now. DocuSign has emerged as a niche leader in this booming field, and unlike many companies that thrived through the COVID-19 crisis it's easy to see DocuSign continuing to grow in the next phase of humanity's recovery.\nDocuSign has evolved into a full digital documents management specialist, and the growth has been stellar. Revenue rose 39% and then 49% in its last two fiscal years, and the 58% increase it posted in its latest report is its headiest growth as a public company.\nThis isn't just a top-line growth story. DocuSign is now profitable, and it has beaten Wall Street's profit target by at least 57% in each of the past quarters. The stock peaked in the fall of last year, butit's been rallyingto the point that it's just a good trading day away or two from setting a new high.\nUiPath\nFinally we have to talk about UiPath. Wood added to her UiPath position in three of ARK Invest's ETFs. UiPath isn't a household name, but it's a name that growth investors are warming up to as a leading provider of enterprise software for robotics and automation.\nUiPath has been public forless than three months, but it's been a wild ride. UiPath went public at $56, peaking at $90 in May before falling back to the high $60s. UiPath is living up to the initial hype with its growth. UiPath's top line rose 65% in its latest quarter, and that follows an 81% top-line pop in fiscal 2021. UiPath is the only name on this list that isn't profitable these days, but the ceiling remains high for the company.\nWood knows what she's doing. It's good to always keep an eye on what she's buying.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":373,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":158791095,"gmtCreate":1625181129917,"gmtModify":1703737660978,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Both of them are good","listText":"Both of them are good","text":"Both of them are good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/158791095","repostId":"2148295558","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2148295558","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1625151197,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2148295558?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-01 22:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nio, XPeng Clock Record June Deliveries: Which EV Maker Outperformed?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2148295558","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The Chinese EV start-ups,  Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) and XPeng Inc. (NYSE: XPEV), reported stellar delive","content":"<p>The Chinese EV start-ups,&nbsp;<b>&nbsp;Nio Inc.&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:&nbsp;NIO) and&nbsp;<b>XPeng Inc.&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:&nbsp;XPEV), reported stellar deliveries for June, sending their shares higher Thursday.</p>\n<p><b>Nio Vs.

Despite the broad-based S&P 500 shedding 34% of its value in about a month during the first quarter of 2020, we've watched the benchmark index catapult more than 90% off of its lows.\nFor some investors, volatility is something they fear. But for predominantly young and novice retail investors, volatility is the impetus that's driven them to put their money to work in the stock market.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAs volatility has whipsawed the market, these younger retail investors have found their home with online investing app Robinhood. We know this because Robinhood added approximately 3 million new users in 2020.\nThere are a number of lures for retail investors with Robinhood. For example, Robinhood doesn't charge a commission when stocks that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq exchange are bought or sold. Robinhood is also one of many brokerages that allows for fractional share investing. And, who can forget that Robinhood also gifts free shares of stock to new users.\nIn one respect, it's a fantastic thing to see young people putting their money to work. Time is the biggest ally investors have. The earlier they start putting their money to work, the better chance they have of compounding their nest egg.\nOn the other hand, Robinhood's retail investors have been buying some really awful stocks. Instead of thinking for the long-term, their buying activity demonstrates a willingness to chase momentum plays, penny stocks, and money-losing businesses.\nIf you don't believe me, here's a closer look at the 50 most-held Robinhood stocks as we enter July.\n\n\n\nCompany\nCompany\n\n\n\n\n1.

A meme stock is a company valued more for its social media favorability/hype than its operating performance.\nSince mid-January, retail investors have been banding together to buy shares and out-of-the-money call options on stocks with high levels of short interest. In many instances, companies with high levels of short interest have poor-performing businesses. This is how we've witnessed GameStop and AMC Entertainment become extremely popular on Robinhood.\nThe good news for GameStop is that it's been able to use its monumental run to sell shares of common stock and raise capital. It's completely erased its debt and given itself more than enough cash to oversee its ongoing transformation into a digital gaming company. To be clear, this doesn't negate the fact that GameStop's previous management team completely dropped the ball on the shift to digital gaming. What it does do is give the company enough capital to at least attempt a transformation.\nThe same can't be said for AMC, which sold the vast majority of its shares six months ago to avoid bankruptcy. Even with a handful of recent capital raises, AMC has well over $3 billion in net debt, and its 2027 bond prices indicate the company is still a bankruptcy risk.\nTo make matters worse, movie theater ticket sales have been in a 19-year decline. Even with a larger share of the movie theater industry, AMC's pie is shrinking. It's pretty clear that social media hype, ignorance of fundamental data, and misinformation are the key drivers behind AMC's irrational rally.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nCanadian cannabis binge\nRobinhood's retail investors also have quite the crush on Canadian marijuana stocks. Five of the 33 most-held companies on Robinhood's leaderboard hail from our neighbor to the north.\nEven though cannabis-focused research company BDSA has forecasted weed sales growth in Canada from $2.6 billion in 2020 to $6.4 billion by 2026, the Canadian pot industry has been a disaster. Regulators have caused all sorts of supply chain issues, consumers have flocked to lower-margin value brands, and Canadian marijuana stocks overzealously expanded and, in some instances, decimated their balance sheets in the process.\nRobinhood investors' fascination with Sundial Growers is nothing short of frustrating.

Not only are they near-term wins for the company, and but also for reasons I'll discuss in the next section I think they also bode well for the company's future regulatory prospects.</p>\n<p>In the first case, the Federal Trade Commission (\"FTC\") claimed Facebook had gained monopoly power first through its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp and second through making them inoperable with other platforms. The FTC sued for an injunction that would force Facebook to reverse or unwind the acquisitions and make them open their platform to other programs.</p>\n<p>The court held for Facebook and against the Federal Trade Commission(\"FTC\") on two important items and against Facebook on one. First, the court held that the FTC did not show that Facebook had monopoly power in the field of personal social networking by showing that it had more than 60% market share in that field. Second, the court found the FTC waited too long to seek an injunction against the company. But third, the Court thought it might be possible for the FTC to replead its case seeking an injunction against Facebook for anti-competitive conduct under a different legal standard (see pages 50-53).</p>\n<p>In the second case,the court held even more strongly in favor of Facebook&nbsp;and dismissed the states' claims. The states also sued claiming that Facebook was using monopoly power to keep competitors out and that acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp created a monopoly. The court dismissed both claims saying that first, the states had waited too long to bring their suits and that second, there was nothing illegal under current law to require Facebook to make its services interoperable.</p>\n<p>Legally, we can expect a few things. First the states will probably appeal the dismissal of their suit. I don't see this as a big issue. Parties lose lawsuits all the time and they appeal all the time without changing the result. What happens to the FTC suit is much more interesting.</p>\n<p>As noted above, while the judge dismissed the states' case, he kept the FTC case open and only dismissed their complaint (the active piece of paper in the lawsuit). He basically invited them to re-file the case under the different law he cited. The FTC has a few strategic choices to make at this point. First, they can appeal the decision to a higher court. Second, they can re-plead the case in the way the judge left open for them. Third, they can start to look for another option to regulate the company (such as passing another law or creating an administrative rule). Fourth, they can start negotiating with Facebook. I surmise they'll work on each of the above.</p>\n<p>Normally, losing a case has an impact on what I would call the \"atmosphere\" or \"momentum\" around an issue above and beyond the impact of this ruling in particular. So in most cases I would expect a federal agency to feel somewhat embarrassed or humbled and that could have an effect on their decision-making going forward. In this case, with a clear opening to re-plead the case and start over, they may not be as \"gun shy\" as one might expect.</p>\n<p>To the third point,there are already a number of members of Congress who wanted to regulate tech companies such as Facebook, and a number of them arereacting to the court decisionsaying that it shows the need for new legislation. The Biden administration'snew FTC chairwoman Lina Khan has a reputation as a tech critic, but I haven't found anything about a plan of hers to regulate Facebook. So all-in-all, there is certainly some desire for a change in law but I can't see anything in the works that could be put into place in the very near term.</p>\n<p>Fourth, litigants are always negotiating and it's entirely possible that Facebook has offered some kind of concessions already that we don't know about. I don't see that as a likely outcome here.</p>\n<p><b>Future Regulation Shouldn't Worry Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Based on experience watching regulations change in Washington and my reading of the political tea leaves, I want to explain why I'm not concerned that regulation will hamper Facebook's business prospects.</p>\n<p>First and foremost, while most people think of regulation as a system for the government to keep companies from doing things the companies want to do, it's just as true that regulation carves out a space for companies to do lots of other things without fear of adverse legal consequences. Moreover, the regulations can often entrench incumbents by making compliance too expensive or burdensome for new competitors. This was probably the case with thewell-publicized FTC settlement with Herbalife(HLF) whose share price has basically doubled since its settlement five years ago:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ae2b9ff7e9edb953d2fae3807d1815a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"409\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Regulation building a moat to keep out competitors and ensure profits is also probably a good description of what's happened to tobacco companies such as Philip Morris (PM) and Altria (MO). What would it take for someone to start a new cigarette company? Doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. A third reason regulation often doesn't end up hurting profits is the phenomenon ofregulatory capturein which the regulator ends up in effect working for the company! So all this is to say that even if regulation is coming, it may not necessarily be all that bad.</p>\n<p>Second, one of the most likely outcomes sought in litigation is divestiture or interoperability of Instagram and WhatsApp - and that may be fine for Facebook. I use WhatsApp every day (it's much more popular outside the US), and I also have other competing programs such as Telegram and Viber on my phone. The other two services seem fine, but no one I know uses them on a regular basis. Moreover, no one I know who uses WhatsApp does so because of a link to Facebook right now. (Facebook would like to link them through Messenger, though). It's possible that WhatsApp has already won the competition by being first, better capitalized or executing better. So WhatsApp spinning off from Facebook just might not make a difference to the businesses. If Facebook is forced to make its service interoperable, they might still be able to charge other companies a fee for using their assets and this really might not be a bad business move. I'm less familiar with Instagram and its competitors such as Snapchat (SNAP), but I think a similar conclusion is likely.</p>\n<p>Third, even though there are good reasons to regulate Facebook around concerns about itseffects on users' mental health,political extremismandmonopoly poweramong other things, I just don't see much happening because of how politics works. (For an interesting views on Facebook and its effects on users and society, seeZucked by Roger McNamee). Politics normally ends up serving the interests of the wealthy and powerful, and Facebook, its executives and shareholders are now wealthy and powerful. Facebook has proven effective inlobbying and managing government relations, and it is increasing its focus on these. Facebook may also have powerful allies in Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) and other tech companies which could be wary of further regulations. Right now, a number of the most powerful people in Congress such as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi basically represent Silicon Valley which bodes well for Facebook's interests. Even in the event that Republicans take over one or both houses of Congress in the midterms, I don't believe that the recent trend of \"populism\" among many Republicans will overcome the party's core resistance to regulation and support for corporate America.</p>\n<p>So if I had to make a prediction, it would be that Facebook ends up making some kind of concessions that don't affect operations or profitability but allow politicians and regulators to claim that they've accomplished something. This has the added benefit for Facebook of making it less likely that further reform might come in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Facebook's Recent Earnings are great</b></p>\n<p>Even in the Covid-19 effected year of 2020, Facebook's numbers are outstanding and in the most recent quarter they're even stronger. As you can see from this summary of results included in the company's Form 10-K for 2020, earnings and margins are strong and growing:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f921d22e5694000a51c60e069de30b52\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"304\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>Revenue grew by almost $15 billion in each of the previous 4 years, and net income climbed higher and higher for every year except 2019, when its move to $29 billion in 2020 made up for what it lost the year before.</p>\n<p>If all we had to go on were these backwards looking numbers, I would estimate the \"back of the envelope\" value this company by taking multiplying the most recent earnings of $29 billion by 33 for $957 billion and adding excess cash of $62 billion for a&nbsp;<b>market capitalization of $1,019 billion $359/share</b>. Likewise, I would say that valuing it at only 25x last year's earnings plus excess cash yields a valuation of $787 billion, would mean the company was undervalued at a price $277/share. But for the reasons I'll set out below, I think these numbers are too low.</p>\n<p><b>Estimating this year's earning - much, much higher</b></p>\n<p>In the first quarter of 2021, Facebook earned almost $9.5 billion as you can see from this income statement in the most recent Form 10-Q:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3db9a4108a92e18a59dbb1923cd9c903\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"174\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>It's clear that the first quarter of 2020 had a dramatic reduction in business activity from Covid-19. It would be tough to say how much that effected customers in the first quarter of last year, making a direct comparison very difficult. In order to get a good guess what the strong first quarter means for Facebook, I want to compare the company's user statistics to quarterly profits and make some educated guesses.</p>\n<p>Facebook's earnings presentations give us a description of the monthly active users of all the company's products broken down by quarter:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e25d73bdd71d2f841ab92917e27cee44\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"429\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>As well as revenue:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79d68ef6536f200bbffa310ad257a3ed\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"430\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>and net income:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d7d23e558cff9eb15938c953982d5795\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>Looking over these three charts we see that even though monthly average users grow consistently, there is some seasonality to the revenue and earnings.</p>\n<p>I've made my own spreadsheet of this information:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd491880ca77778e76d41d367223b669\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"151\"><span>Source: Author</span></p>\n<p>In light of those numbers showing:</p>\n<p>(1) MAU grows every quarter, but</p>\n<p>(2) Revenue and Net Income change with the seasons,</p>\n<p>I'm willing to make some rough guesses about the rest of this year:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c413f3304ab59e2ca2b56822ee4465c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"114\"><span>Source: Author</span></p>\n<p>To arrive at these estimate, I kept user growth constant and multiplied revenue by 1.44, 1.4 and 1.3 over its prior year. That's a guess, but I think that having been transparent about how I made my estimates, you can adjust that number up or down as you think best. To arrive at net income, I kept the net income/revenue ratio the same as it had been in the same quarter of the prior year. This captures some of the operating leverage and increasing returns to scale inherent in Facebook's business model.</p>\n<p>I estimated that the company would $9.5 plus $7.2 plus $11 plus $14.5 billion of net income this year, for a total of $42.2 billion. That's quite an improvement over last year's $29 billion!</p>\n<p>If these estimates are reasonable and we assume the company increases cash on the balance sheet to $75 billion, at the not-too-optimistic multiple of 25x earnings for a growing company and including the excess cash, that means Facebook stock could be meaningfully&nbsp;<b>undervalued at a market cap of $1,130 billion or $398/share</b>. Because of the growth we see, I really don't think it's unreasonable to arrive at&nbsp;<b>fair value with a 33x multiple on the stock for $1,461 billion or $526/share</b>.</p>\n<p><b>Global Growth and New Products add upside</b></p>\n<p>The estimates I used in the section above may be too low for two reasons. First, they're not accounting for the increasing returns on Facebook's growth outside the US. Facebook's growth inemerging markets such as Indiais extremely valuable because they have both a long runway for adding users, and the users themselves can be expected to become more profitable as GDP and consumption increase over time at rates faster than those in developed markets.</p>\n<p>Facebook is alsoexpanding rapidly into virtual reality. I don't have any way of estimating how big or how profitable this segment will be, but it's not unreasonable to think they'll have a lead in gaming and social segments and widespread adoption could lead to new kinds of unanticipated uses. For the last several years, spending on research and development has served to push the company's earnings down somewhat, but once they release a commercial product, we could begin to see the fruits of their labor.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>With legal and regulatory challenges seeming less difficult and growing profitability, I am quite bullish on shares of Facebook. As always, a number of things could go wrong. If a new political environment becomes much more hostile to \"Big Tech\" or we see the emergence of a social movement to drop Facebook (I've tried to leave a few times myself!) that would depress earnings and change my thesis. At these prices and with this much growth on the horizon, I'm not concerned about those risks. As they say, \"we like the stock.\"</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Facebook Could Be A $500 Stock After Court Tosses FTC Case</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\">\nFacebook Could Be A $500 Stock After Court Tosses FTC Case\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-29 22:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437058-facebook-500-stock-court-tosses-ftc-case><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nWins in court against the FTC and States clear up regulatory headwinds.\nSubstantial profits will grow throughout the year.\nFacebook may not have much to fear from future regulation either.\n\n...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437058-facebook-500-stock-court-tosses-ftc-case\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437058-facebook-500-stock-court-tosses-ftc-case","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1165468426","content_text":"Summary\n\nWins in court against the FTC and States clear up regulatory headwinds.\nSubstantial profits will grow throughout the year.\nFacebook may not have much to fear from future regulation either.\n\nnaruecha jenthaisong/Moment via Getty Images\nI started analyzing Facebook (FB) last week and I was surprised how bullish my conclusions were about the company's prospects.

Because of the growth we see, I really don't think it's unreasonable to arrive at fair value with a 33x multiple on the stock for $1,461 billion or $526/share.\nGlobal Growth and New Products add upside\nThe estimates I used in the section above may be too low for two reasons. First, they're not accounting for the increasing returns on Facebook's growth outside the US. Facebook's growth inemerging markets such as Indiais extremely valuable because they have both a long runway for adding users, and the users themselves can be expected to become more profitable as GDP and consumption increase over time at rates faster than those in developed markets.\nFacebook is alsoexpanding rapidly into virtual reality. I don't have any way of estimating how big or how profitable this segment will be, but it's not unreasonable to think they'll have a lead in gaming and social segments and widespread adoption could lead to new kinds of unanticipated uses. For the last several years, spending on research and development has served to push the company's earnings down somewhat, but once they release a commercial product, we could begin to see the fruits of their labor.\nConclusion\nWith legal and regulatory challenges seeming less difficult and growing profitability, I am quite bullish on shares of Facebook. As always, a number of things could go wrong. If a new political environment becomes much more hostile to \"Big Tech\" or we see the emergence of a social movement to drop Facebook (I've tried to leave a few times myself!) that would depress earnings and change my thesis. At these prices and with this much growth on the horizon, I'm not concerned about those risks. As they say, \"we like the stock.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":128,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":153397551,"gmtCreate":1625009363573,"gmtModify":1703849863064,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Awesome","listText":"Awesome","text":"Awesome","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/153397551","repostId":"1121320099","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121320099","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1624978930,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1121320099?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-29 23:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD stock surged 3% in Tuesday morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121320099","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"AMD stock surged 3% on AMD's planned purchase of Xilinx being approved by UK's antitrust authority.X","content":"<p>AMD stock surged 3%&nbsp;on&nbsp;AMD's planned purchase of Xilinx being&nbsp;approved by UK's antitrust authority.Xilinx&nbsp;shares&nbsp;surged&nbsp;2%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34ea51d2655a990239ad58f1954a71dd\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<ul>\n <li>AMD's(NASDAQ:AMD)&nbsp;planned $35B acquisition of Xilinx(NASDAQ:XLNX)has been approved by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority.</li>\n <li>The approval was disclosed on the&nbsp;UK CMA's website.</li>\n <li>In May&nbsp;the UK's CMA said it started its inquiry into the proposed deal.</li>\n <li>Earlier this month, Xilinx gained after report that&nbsp;European antitrust reportedly has no issues&nbsp;with AMD deal.

The cloud platform has been growing rapidly and has expanded its total addressable market to over $70 billion. Additionally, it plans to spread into other profitable areas apart from its traditional content delivery services. Moreover, NET stock’s 12-month returns are at a staggering 180%.</p>\n<p>Earnings in the past year have been nothing short of amazing, with double-digit growth in revenues for the past three quarters. Year-over-year revenue growth is at a healthy 51%, with forward estimates at 42%. &nbsp;As it looks to expand its product suite into large TAM areas such as cybersecurity and MPLS/SD-WAN, it will continue to post strong sales numbers for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>Shopify is a leading merchant platform that has consistently delivered for its long-term investors. With businesses having to close down during the pandemic, Shopify became a beacon of hope for small merchants starting their online businesses. As a result, its year-over-year revenue growth is dumbfounding 99.6%, which dwarfs its competition. Hence, with a wide moat and the ability to constantly evolve more than justifies SHOP stocks lofty valuation.</p>\n<p>2020 was another stellar year for the company, but it looks like it still has multiple chapters to write in its growth story.&nbsp;Its fulfillment center strategy&nbsp;is one of them, giving&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b>AMZN</b>) a run for its money. Moreover, its Payments division and international markets are two major catalysts for future growth. The company expects to grow its revenues by $5 billion by 2023 and take a larger bite out of the e-commerce market.</p>\n<p><b>Square (SQ)</b></p>\n<p>Square has turned into a new-age financial services juggernaut. It has posted stellar growth rates, delivering monster quarterly results and outperforming its already high expectations. It continues to expand its distinct ecosystems, which includes its and Seller and Cash App. Both ecosystems exhibit a $160 billion addressable market opportunity collectively. Moreover, SQ stock has generated over 130% returns in the past 12-months.</p>\n<p>The Cash App platform has been a key driver of the company’s growth. Its monthly active users have grown by 50% to&nbsp;over 36 million in 2020.&nbsp; Through its&nbsp;<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b>BTC-USD</b>)&nbsp; functionalities and the impact of the Cash Card, it creates several monetization opportunities. Additionally, the re-opening of the U.S. and the worldwide economy will propel the stock further as more small and medium-sized enterprises regain their footing.</p>\n<p><b>Snap (SNAP)</b></p>\n<p>Social media giant Snap was in a tough spot a couple of years ago, as its user base stagnated considerably. However, it is now back in the game with improvements in monetization, augmented reality and unique content. Analysts point towards multiple years of double-digit revenue growth ahead, and its high long-term margin structure makes SNAP stock a highly attractive investment.</p>\n<p>Daily Active Users (DAUs) for the company increased on a year-over-year basisin each of the four quarters last year. The trend continued in the first quarter, where its DAUs grew by a healthy 22%.&nbsp; Moreover, revenues in the quarter were up 66%&nbsp;year-over-year to $170 million. It has multiple monetization avenues left to explore, including Maps, Spotlight, Stories and others.&nbsp; Hence, with forward revenue estimates of roughly 50%, the company is in pole position to deliver strong returns for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Group (BABA)</b></p>\n<p>Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the past several years. In the past seven years, its business has grown at a spectacular 23.8% CAGR and is still growing at an impressive pace. Year-over-year revenue growth has been at a remarkable 41%, with forward estimates over 35%. Analysts believe that BABA stock could generate over 300% returns in the next five years.</p>\n<p>Alibaba has gone a great job of diversifying its income streams from its traditional retail business. Some of these include cloud computing, entertainment, digital media and others. Cloud computing, in particular, is an area where Alibaba will look to invest heavily in the coming years. The high-margin business will help narrow down its losses and open up new opportunities in adjacent areas.</p>\n<p><b>Etsy (ETSY)</b></p>\n<p>Etsy is an online niche marketplace with a wide and sustainable moat. It has witnessed massive growth during the pandemic, as its revenues increased by triple-digit percentages in the past four quarters. Its gross merchandise value (GMV) and revenues increased by roughly 106% and 111%, respectively, in 2020. Moreover, its EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis is at a stunning 391%. No wonder ETSY stock has surged over 78% in the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>With last year’s blow-out performance, investors are worried about whether the company can continue its progress. Etsy is expanding its business through some smart acquisitions. It recently acquired&nbsp;<b>Reverb</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Depop</b>&nbsp;to expand its music and fashion recommerce expertise. These acquisitions will also facilitate the company’s global outreach.Etsy posted a 141% year-over-year growth&nbsp;in its first quarter, which suggests that it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.</p>\n<p><b>Roku (ROKU)</b></p>\n<p>Streaming giant Roku has been on a roll in the past year, with its revenues and subscribers fueled by the pandemic. It gained an unbelievable 16.7 million new users during the pandemic and now&nbsp;has 53.6 million users. It is likely to achieve a record 65 million users by the conclusion of this year. With strong user monetization and active user growth, ROKU stock could potentially surge to new heights.</p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the company has multiple growth drivers which could push its stock price higher in the future. Its CTV ad segment, in particular, could pay a lot of dividends with the gradual shift from linear to CTV. Moreover, it continues to invest heavily in its content library, with its recent launch of&nbsp;<b>Roku Originals</b>&nbsp;and its acquisition of&nbsp;<b>Saban Films</b>. Hence, it has an incredible growth runway ahead and should continue posting strong top and bottom-line numbers.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Golden Retirement</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\">\n7 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Golden Retirement\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-28 17:39 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-great-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-a-golden-retirement/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These growth stocks to buy will add a ton of value to your retirement portfolio by providing a growing return on investment\nThe last thing any retiree would want to do is to sit around and fret about ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-great-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-a-golden-retirement/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BABA":"阿里巴巴","SHOP":"Shopify Inc","SQ":"Block","ROKU":"Roku Inc","SNAP":"Snap Inc","ETSY":"Etsy, Inc.","NET":"Cloudflare, Inc."},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-great-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-a-golden-retirement/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1103992527","content_text":"These growth stocks to buy will add a ton of value to your retirement portfolio by providing a growing return on investment\nThe last thing any retiree would want to do is to sit around and fret about their portfolio.

Moreover, its Payments division and international markets are two major catalysts for future growth. The company expects to grow its revenues by $5 billion by 2023 and take a larger bite out of the e-commerce market.\nSquare (SQ)\nSquare has turned into a new-age financial services juggernaut. It has posted stellar growth rates, delivering monster quarterly results and outperforming its already high expectations. It continues to expand its distinct ecosystems, which includes its and Seller and Cash App. Both ecosystems exhibit a $160 billion addressable market opportunity collectively. Moreover, SQ stock has generated over 130% returns in the past 12-months.\nThe Cash App platform has been a key driver of the company’s growth. Its monthly active users have grown by 50% to over 36 million in 2020.  Through its Bitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD)  functionalities and the impact of the Cash Card, it creates several monetization opportunities. Additionally, the re-opening of the U.S. and the worldwide economy will propel the stock further as more small and medium-sized enterprises regain their footing.\nSnap (SNAP)\nSocial media giant Snap was in a tough spot a couple of years ago, as its user base stagnated considerably. However, it is now back in the game with improvements in monetization, augmented reality and unique content. Analysts point towards multiple years of double-digit revenue growth ahead, and its high long-term margin structure makes SNAP stock a highly attractive investment.\nDaily Active Users (DAUs) for the company increased on a year-over-year basisin each of the four quarters last year. The trend continued in the first quarter, where its DAUs grew by a healthy 22%.  Moreover, revenues in the quarter were up 66% year-over-year to $170 million. It has multiple monetization avenues left to explore, including Maps, Spotlight, Stories and others.  Hence, with forward revenue estimates of roughly 50%, the company is in pole position to deliver strong returns for the foreseeable future.\nAlibaba Group (BABA)\nChinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the past several years. In the past seven years, its business has grown at a spectacular 23.8% CAGR and is still growing at an impressive pace. Year-over-year revenue growth has been at a remarkable 41%, with forward estimates over 35%. Analysts believe that BABA stock could generate over 300% returns in the next five years.\nAlibaba has gone a great job of diversifying its income streams from its traditional retail business. Some of these include cloud computing, entertainment, digital media and others. Cloud computing, in particular, is an area where Alibaba will look to invest heavily in the coming years. The high-margin business will help narrow down its losses and open up new opportunities in adjacent areas.\nEtsy (ETSY)\nEtsy is an online niche marketplace with a wide and sustainable moat. It has witnessed massive growth during the pandemic, as its revenues increased by triple-digit percentages in the past four quarters. Its gross merchandise value (GMV) and revenues increased by roughly 106% and 111%, respectively, in 2020. Moreover, its EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis is at a stunning 391%. No wonder ETSY stock has surged over 78% in the past 12 months.\nWith last year’s blow-out performance, investors are worried about whether the company can continue its progress. Etsy is expanding its business through some smart acquisitions. It recently acquired Reverb and Depop to expand its music and fashion recommerce expertise. These acquisitions will also facilitate the company’s global outreach.Etsy posted a 141% year-over-year growth in its first quarter, which suggests that it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.\nRoku (ROKU)\nStreaming giant Roku has been on a roll in the past year, with its revenues and subscribers fueled by the pandemic. It gained an unbelievable 16.7 million new users during the pandemic and now has 53.6 million users. It is likely to achieve a record 65 million users by the conclusion of this year. With strong user monetization and active user growth, ROKU stock could potentially surge to new heights.\nLooking ahead, the company has multiple growth drivers which could push its stock price higher in the future. Its CTV ad segment, in particular, could pay a lot of dividends with the gradual shift from linear to CTV. Moreover, it continues to invest heavily in its content library, with its recent launch of Roku Originals and its acquisition of Saban Films. Hence, it has an incredible growth runway ahead and should continue posting strong top and bottom-line numbers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124608131,"gmtCreate":1624760621823,"gmtModify":1703844592505,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"NIO","listText":"NIO","text":"NIO","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/124608131","repostId":"1137119316","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137119316","pubTimestamp":1624754401,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1137119316?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-27 08:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ford Or NIO?

Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.</p>\n<p><b>Ford vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up</b></p>\n<p>Although there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p>\n<p><b>Market opportunity</b></p>\n<p>In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p>\n<p>China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is&nbsp;on the cusp of entering the European market&nbsp;in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.</p>\n<p>Beijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a&nbsp;twenty percent share&nbsp;of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9871e44eaf69adb27151425887870ace\" tg-width=\"739\" tg-height=\"454\"><span>(Source:Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>Turning to growth projections.</p>\n<p>With more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61d19dff2f34e2d8828aca854e85d84a\" tg-width=\"825\" tg-height=\"565\"><span>(Source:McKinsey)</span></p>\n<p>Since China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Scale and manufacturing competence</b></p>\n<p>Ford has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p>\n<p>Winner here: Ford.</p>\n<p><b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p>\n<p>Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p>\n<p>Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p>\n<p>The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p>\n<p>The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p>\n<p>Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p>\n<p>Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Sales growth and valuation</b></p>\n<p>Ford’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.</p>\n<p>Ford's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df5a0a393e44ed74241c5effcdd92350\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!</p>\n<p>Due to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/817605c6b1e82c03d0473ea570d32b8f\" tg-width=\"506\" tg-height=\"406\"><span>(Source: Author)</span></p>\n<p><b>NIO has larger risks...</b></p>\n<p>NIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.</p>\n<p><b>Final verdict</b></p>\n<p>NIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.</p>\n<p>Ford’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.</p>\n<p>If you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Ford Or NIO?

Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.\nSales growth and valuation\nFord’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.\nFord's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.\nData by YCharts\nThe difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!\nDue to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.\n(Source: Author)\nNIO has larger risks...\nNIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.\nFinal verdict\nNIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.\nFord’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.\nIf you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":206,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168827005,"gmtCreate":1623972106807,"gmtModify":1703824869436,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Robo investing is future trend.&nbsp;","listText":"Robo investing is future trend.&nbsp;","text":"Robo investing is future trend.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/168827005","repostId":"2144156742","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144156742","pubTimestamp":1623942751,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2144156742?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-17 23:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"JPMorgan Chase buys UK robo-adviser Nutmeg","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144156742","media":"CNA","summary":"LONDON:     JPMorgan Chase has acquired Britain's biggest robo-adviser firm Nutmeg, as the U.S. giant gears up for a big retail expansion push in the UK.\n\nNutmeg - which has more than 140,000 clients and over 3.5 billion pounds (US$4.89 billion) of assets under management - will be the bedrock of ...","content":"<p>LONDON: JPMorgan Chase has acquired Britain's biggest robo-adviser firm Nutmeg, as the U.S. giant gears up for a big retail expansion push in the UK.</p>\n<p>Nutmeg - which has more than 140,000 clients and over 3.5 billion pounds (US$4.89 billion) of assets under management - will be the bedrock of JPMorgan Chase's retail digital wealth management offering internationally, Nutmeg said in a statement on its website on Thursday.</p>","source":"can_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

These closures cost the company billions in lost revenue.</p>\n<p>As it tries to get its financial footing back, Disney is testing a new feature at its theme park in Paris. The company is allowing guests to purchase premier access passes that would allow them to skip lines entirely. Folks can purchase premier access to a ride they wish to go on at a specific time slot without waiting in the long line. The move has the potential to solve two problems simultaneously.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f576a7d65060be568631e6aa18ef7c7b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<h2>1. Boosting revenue to pre-pandemic levels</h2>\n<p>At a price of between 8 euros and 15 euros per ride per guest, the line-cutting pass could raise revenue at the park substantially. It's similar to the free Fast Pass feature that was available at Disney parks prior to the pandemic, but it is more convenient in that the paid version allows the user to pick the time slot they wish. Folks using it regularly could easily spend more on premier passes than on the price of admission. And excluding the cost of technology to develop the capability, the revenue from these passes will almost completely fall to the bottom line.</p>\n<p>If the program proves successful in Paris, Disney could extend the feature to the rest of its theme parks. That could play a big part in bringing revenue back to pre-pandemic levels. In fiscal 2020 alone, the segment that includes theme parks, experiences, and products reported a 37% decrease in revenue from the previous year.</p>\n<p>The loss in revenue caused a pronounced drop in operating income for the segment, going from $6.7 billion in 2019 to a loss of $81 million in 2020.</p>\n<h2>2. Reducing complaints of long wait times</h2>\n<p>One of the more common complaints from guests visiting a Disney theme park is the long wait times to experience attractions. Before the pandemic, it was getting harder and harder to find a time of day or day of the year when Disney's theme parks weren't filled close to capacity. It was common to wait over an hour to access the most popular rides.</p>\n<p>In offering a premium pass that allows guests to skip lines entirely, Disney can reduce complaints of long wait times. If the program works as it's intended to, guests who really want to experience an attraction without waiting in line can pay for the privilege (some restrictions do still apply). It can serve as empowerment for frustrated guests, who can now pay to improve their experience.</p>\n<h2>Not without risks</h2>\n<p>Still, the move is not without risk. It could alienate regular guests who are unwilling or unable to pay for premium access and who may have to wait longer to go on rides. Or the demand may be so high for premium passes on certain rides that not everyone who wants to buy <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> can. It may improve the experience for a few guests but make it worse for others and overall not really solve the problem.</p>\n<p>It is prudent, therefore, that management is testing the feature at only one of its theme parks before rolling it out to the rest.

These closures cost the company billions in lost revenue.\nAs it tries to get its financial footing back, Disney is testing a new feature at its theme park in Paris. The company is allowing guests to purchase premier access passes that would allow them to skip lines entirely. Folks can purchase premier access to a ride they wish to go on at a specific time slot without waiting in the long line. The move has the potential to solve two problems simultaneously.\n\n1. Boosting revenue to pre-pandemic levels\nAt a price of between 8 euros and 15 euros per ride per guest, the line-cutting pass could raise revenue at the park substantially. It's similar to the free Fast Pass feature that was available at Disney parks prior to the pandemic, but it is more convenient in that the paid version allows the user to pick the time slot they wish. Folks using it regularly could easily spend more on premier passes than on the price of admission. And excluding the cost of technology to develop the capability, the revenue from these passes will almost completely fall to the bottom line.\nIf the program proves successful in Paris, Disney could extend the feature to the rest of its theme parks. That could play a big part in bringing revenue back to pre-pandemic levels. In fiscal 2020 alone, the segment that includes theme parks, experiences, and products reported a 37% decrease in revenue from the previous year.\nThe loss in revenue caused a pronounced drop in operating income for the segment, going from $6.7 billion in 2019 to a loss of $81 million in 2020.\n2. Reducing complaints of long wait times\nOne of the more common complaints from guests visiting a Disney theme park is the long wait times to experience attractions. Before the pandemic, it was getting harder and harder to find a time of day or day of the year when Disney's theme parks weren't filled close to capacity. It was common to wait over an hour to access the most popular rides.\nIn offering a premium pass that allows guests to skip lines entirely, Disney can reduce complaints of long wait times. If the program works as it's intended to, guests who really want to experience an attraction without waiting in line can pay for the privilege (some restrictions do still apply). It can serve as empowerment for frustrated guests, who can now pay to improve their experience.\nNot without risks\nStill, the move is not without risk. It could alienate regular guests who are unwilling or unable to pay for premium access and who may have to wait longer to go on rides. Or the demand may be so high for premium passes on certain rides that not everyone who wants to buy one can. It may improve the experience for a few guests but make it worse for others and overall not really solve the problem.\nIt is prudent, therefore, that management is testing the feature at only one of its theme parks before rolling it out to the rest. Hopefully, it can address any issues that arise and determine if the net effects of the feature are worthy of rolling it out.\nThe company continues on its path, attempting to maximize guest spending at theme parks. Experimenting with admission prices, annual passes, and features like premium passes will go a long way in achieving the goal. Investors can rest assured the parks will likely draw visitors for decades more.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":534,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3586942657370543","authorId":"3586942657370543","name":"Wei L","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69437148178cab1d626a6802180afa5d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Given the travel restriction imposed and still the banned of international travel atm, coupled with the risks of these new variants, 170 is quite possible, prolly coming in next couple of days time ?","text":"Given the travel restriction imposed and still the banned of international travel atm, coupled with the risks of these new variants, 170 is quite possible, prolly coming in next couple of days time ?","html":"Given the travel restriction imposed and still the banned of international travel atm, coupled with the risks of these new variants, 170 is quite possible, prolly coming in next couple of days time ?"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":146062752,"gmtCreate":1626045174276,"gmtModify":1703752132831,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Possible","listText":"Possible","text":"Possible","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/146062752","repostId":"2150463301","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2150463301","pubTimestamp":1625971562,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2150463301?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-11 10:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Will Roblox Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2030?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2150463301","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Could this tween-oriented gaming platform be the next tech giant?","content":"<p>Only a handful of tech companies have ever become $1 trillion companies. <b>Apple</b>&nbsp;and <b>Amazon</b> crossed that milestone in 2018, <b>Microsoft</b>&nbsp;followed suit in 2019, and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a></b>&nbsp;joined the club earlier this year.</p>\n<p>Many other tech stocks could join that elite group within the next decade -- and investors who hop on board today could reap massive multibagger gains.

Between the first quarters of 2018 and 2021, Roblox's DAUs more than quadrupled from 10.3 million to 42.1 million, its total hours engaged surged from 2.1 billion to 9.7 billion, and its average bookings per DAU jumped from $11.62 to $15.48.</p>\n<p>Roblox's revenue rose 56% in 2019, soared 82% in 2020, and analysts expect 167% growth this year.

Therefore, it seems highly unlikely Roblox will become a $1 trillion company within the next decade.</p>\n<p>But that doesn't mean Roblox won't generate multibagger gains over the next decade. It could remain popular long after the pandemic passes, attract a new generation of younger users, and launch more powerful tools for advanced users.

Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.</p>\n<p><b>Ford vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up</b></p>\n<p>Although there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p>\n<p><b>Market opportunity</b></p>\n<p>In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p>\n<p>China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is&nbsp;on the cusp of entering the European market&nbsp;in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.</p>\n<p>Beijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a&nbsp;twenty percent share&nbsp;of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9871e44eaf69adb27151425887870ace\" tg-width=\"739\" tg-height=\"454\"><span>(Source:Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>Turning to growth projections.</p>\n<p>With more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61d19dff2f34e2d8828aca854e85d84a\" tg-width=\"825\" tg-height=\"565\"><span>(Source:McKinsey)</span></p>\n<p>Since China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Scale and manufacturing competence</b></p>\n<p>Ford has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p>\n<p>Winner here: Ford.</p>\n<p><b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p>\n<p>Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p>\n<p>Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p>\n<p>The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p>\n<p>The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p>\n<p>Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p>\n<p>Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Sales growth and valuation</b></p>\n<p>Ford’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.</p>\n<p>Ford's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df5a0a393e44ed74241c5effcdd92350\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!</p>\n<p>Due to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/817605c6b1e82c03d0473ea570d32b8f\" tg-width=\"506\" tg-height=\"406\"><span>(Source: Author)</span></p>\n<p><b>NIO has larger risks...</b></p>\n<p>NIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.</p>\n<p><b>Final verdict</b></p>\n<p>NIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.</p>\n<p>Ford’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.</p>\n<p>If you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Ford Or NIO?

Valuations were already stretched thin thanks to the big rally from lows hit in March of last year when the pandemic was starting to spread in earnest. The recent weakness topped off by Monday's meltdown, however, sends a message.</p>\n<p>That message is: investors are nervous enough to start locking in their profits. The fact that it's September -- typically <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the worst months of the year for stocks -- only adds to the market's woes.</p>\n<p>If you can look past the present and into the future though, you'll find there are plenty of blue-chip names poised to end the year on a bullish foot and start 2022 with the same momentum. Here's a rundown of three such names that also happen to be components in the <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b> (DJINDICES:^DJI).</p>\n<h2>1. Merck &amp; Co.</h2>\n<p>It's interesting. While shares of<b> Merck &amp; Co.</b> (NYSE:MRK) participated in the initial rebound rally in March of last year, it dropped out of the effort by April and has been a laggard ever since. In fact, Merck's stock is a mere 14% above its March-2020 low, and down 17% from its pre-pandemic peak. Not being a real contender in the race to create a COVID-19 vaccine only exacerbated investors' disinterest in Merck; the pharmaceutical giant was already out of favor due to the sheer logistical challenges caused by the pandemic itself.</p>\n<p>Lost in all the recent noise of the coronavirus contagion, though, is the fact that this is Merck, which still boasts an incredible drug portfolio that includes cancer-fighting drug Keytruda. This drug alone accounted for $14.4 billion of Merck's 2020 revenue of $48 billion, upping the therapy's total sales by 30% year over year. But that's nowhere near the drug's full potential. As more and more uses are identified, some analysts believe Keytruda could produce annualized revenue on the order of $22 billion while other analysts have tossed around a peak-sales figure of $30 billion. It's a stretch goal to be sure, but even if Merck only gets halfway to that target it would still be a big victory.</p>\n<p>Nothing about Merck stock's recent performance indicates Keytruda's potential is being factored in. But, as the pandemic fades and allows investors to renew their focus on other matters, Merck shares are in a position to perk up.</p>\n<p>The kicker: Newcomers will be stepping in while Merck's dividend yield is a healthy 3.6%.</p>\n<h2>2. Walt Disney</h2>\n<p>Much like Merck, shares of<b> Walt Disney </b>(NYSE:DIS) have been oddly poor performers of late. While the stock soared over the course of most of last year and into early this year, it's been mostly stagnant since April -- stagnant at a price that's 12% below March's peak. It's arguably one of the market's best reopening plays, but that nuance may also be over-reflected in the stock's 150% rally from last March's low to this March's high.</p>\n<p>There may be more meat on the bone left to eat, though, so to speak. This Dow component may be ready to rekindle its bullishness as things ease back to normal this year and into the next.</p>\n<p>One hint of this impending renormalization is the recent decision to stop selling new-release films through Disney+ at the same time they're showing in theaters. The entertainment media giant doesn't need to employ the potentially cannibalistic approach anymore to draw consumers to Disney+, nor does Disney need to worry about wary consumers steering clear of movie theaters. Its recently released <i>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings</i> just broke domestic box office records for a Labor Day weekend, confirming that consumers are ready, willing, and able to visit theaters.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, while the company's U.S. parks and experiences arm's revenue is only about two-thirds of what it was in 2019 before the pandemic took hold, that's still up from practically nil as of this time last year. Disney's revamped international streaming services are also still relatively nascent in markets like Latin America, India, and different parts of Europe. This sets the stage for unexpected growth sooner rather than later.</p>\n<h2>3. Home Depot</h2>\n<p>Finally, add home improvement retailer <b>The Home Depot</b> (NYSE:HD) to your list of Dow Jones stocks ready to rally later this year and into 2022.</p>\n<p>It's another one of those names that soared for the better part of 2020 and through the early part of 2021 only to peter out in recent weeks. Homebuying and remodeling may have been red hot thanks to motivators like low interest rates and people spending more time in their homes. This trend, however, has seemingly run its course.</p>\n<p>HD stock's just been choppy and relatively unproductive since May, with much of that wheel-spinning being the result of slowing growth. While last quarter's sales and earnings both topped estimates, U.S. same-store sales growth of 3.4% for the three-month stretch ending in July loosely implies people have completed all the at-home projects they care to for the time being.</p>\n<p>Then there's the not-so-minor fact that Home Depot shares are priced at more than 22 times this year's projected profits, and almost 22 times 2022's earnings estimates. That sort of pricing doesn't make it feel like there's much room left for more upside.</p>\n<p>Don't be too quick to jump to conclusions about how consumers are feeling and subsequently acting, though. While it was largely buried by other, noisier news, homebuilder confidence moved higher this month -- for the first time in three months -- after reaching a 13-month low in August. Falling materials prices were the prompt for the recovery. In the meantime August's retail sales in the U.S. grew rather than contracting as expected, suggesting consumers are still spending on goods and services outside of the home construction market. The stock's recent lethargy is ultimately a buying opportunity.</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>These 3 Dow Stocks Are Set to Soar in 2021's Second Half and Beyond</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\">\nThese 3 Dow Stocks Are Set to Soar in 2021's Second Half and Beyond\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-22 11:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/21/dow-stocks-set-to-soar-2021-2nd-half/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The current market environment certainly looks less than bullish.

While it was largely buried by other, noisier news, homebuilder confidence moved higher this month -- for the first time in three months -- after reaching a 13-month low in August. Falling materials prices were the prompt for the recovery. In the meantime August's retail sales in the U.S. grew rather than contracting as expected, suggesting consumers are still spending on goods and services outside of the home construction market. The stock's recent lethargy is ultimately a buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":282,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891861340,"gmtCreate":1628379683080,"gmtModify":1703505469896,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Still prefer nio and xiaopeng","listText":"Still prefer nio and xiaopeng","text":"Still prefer nio and xiaopeng","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/891861340","repostId":"1143051031","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":404,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":158260342,"gmtCreate":1625151451486,"gmtModify":1703737297728,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good info","listText":"Good info","text":"Good info","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/158260342","repostId":"2148840288","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2148840288","pubTimestamp":1625139913,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2148840288?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-01 19:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Top 50 Robinhood Stocks in July","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2148840288","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Retail investors can't stop buying into these companies.","content":"<p>Though volatility has tapered off in recent weeks, investors have received something of a crash course in being patient over the past 17 months.

Five of the 33 most-held companies on Robinhood's leaderboard hail from our neighbor to the north.</p>\n<p>Even though cannabis-focused research company BDSA has forecasted weed sales growth in Canada from $2.6 billion in 2020 to $6.4 billion by 2026, the Canadian pot industry has been a disaster.

It may well be the single most-avoidable marijuana stock. Although its management team was able to pay off the company's existing debt by issuing stock and conducting debt-for-equity swaps, these share offerings simply haven't stopped. In a little over a seven-month stretch, more than 1.35 billion shares were issued.

Once the most-held stock on Robinhood, Aurora has drowned its shareholders in dilution. Even after selling one of its greenhouses and shuttering a number of other cultivation facilities, its cost-cutting has put it nowhere near close to generating a profit. As long as Aurora keeps burning through cash, its management team will continue to issue stock.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0e9f554fbd3314fbbb8ba78c5a65d3e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"524\"><span>Image source: American Airlines.</span></p>\n<h2>An obsession with travel companies</h2>\n<p>Another absolute head-scratcher is Robinhood investors' obsession with travel companies -- specifically airlines and cruise ship operators.</p>\n<p>On one hand, the case could be made that the coronavirus pandemic overly punished the travel industry. Though we remain firmly in a global pandemic, increased domestic vaccination rates offer hope that the U.S. could soon put the pandemic in the rearview mirror. For instance, the Transportation Security Administration screened over 2 million passengers in a single day in mid-June for the first time since before the pandemic was declared.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, the travel industry tends to be built on mediocre margins, at best, and it typically requires the economy to be running on all cylinders. Despite recovering from a recession, most airline stocks are now lugging around billions in extra debt that they didn't have two years ago. American Airlines, which I've previously anointed as the worst airline stock, has $34 billion in net debt and $48 billion in aggregate debt. The interest American Airlines is going to have to pay to service this debt could cripple its growth initiatives for the next decade.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, companies like Norwegian Cruise Line came perilously close to bankruptcy during the pandemic. Unlike airlines, which are essential for business travel, cruise ships aren't essential. They'll remain at the mercy of the pandemic until it's firmly in the rearview mirror. That means Norwegian may continue losing money well into 2022, if not beyond.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2bd808070a9dde55f37210b59edc2e23\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>A Tesla Model S plugged in for charging. Image source: Tesla.</span></p>\n<h2>Alternative energy for autos in focus</h2>\n<p>Lastly, Robinhood investors appear to be going all-in on anything that has to do with alternative/clean energy for vehicles.</p>\n<p>Electric vehicle (EV) kingpin Tesla has surpassed Apple to become the most-held stock on the platform, while Ford, General Motors, Workhorse Group, NIO, and Churchill Capital are other EV producers that found their way into the top 50 leaderboard (GM and Ford predominantly produce combustion-engine vehicles at the moment). If we also include Plug Power, FuelCell Energy, and Ideanomics, that's nine of the top 48 Robinhood stocks that are devoted to alternative energy adoption for autos.</p>\n<p>There's pretty much no question at this point that EVs and potentially hydrogen fuel cells represent the future of the automotive industry. There's a multi-decade opportunity for consumers and enterprise fleets to switch over to alternative solutions, as well as for ancillary players to build the infrastructure necessary to support EVs and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.</p>\n<p>The issue is that investors have a tendency to overestimate how quickly new technology is adopted, and that's likely what we're witnessing with EVs. The fact that Tesla is worth $647 billion is ludicrous considering that it hasn't demonstrated it can generate a profit from selling its EVs. The only way Tesla has been able to generate a profit is by selling renewable energy credits or taking a one-time benefit from the sale of <b>Bitcoin</b>.</p>\n<p>The EV space is growing increasingly more crowded, and the major auto stocks are investing tens of billions into new models. It's unlikely that Tesla will be able to hold onto its competitive edge for much longer.</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>The Top 50 Robinhood Stocks in July</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\">\nThe Top 50 Robinhood Stocks in July\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-01 19:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/01/the-top-50-robinhood-stocks-in-july/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Though volatility has tapered off in recent weeks, investors have received something of a crash course in being patient over the past 17 months.

Though we remain firmly in a global pandemic, increased domestic vaccination rates offer hope that the U.S. could soon put the pandemic in the rearview mirror. For instance, the Transportation Security Administration screened over 2 million passengers in a single day in mid-June for the first time since before the pandemic was declared.\nOn the other hand, the travel industry tends to be built on mediocre margins, at best, and it typically requires the economy to be running on all cylinders. Despite recovering from a recession, most airline stocks are now lugging around billions in extra debt that they didn't have two years ago. American Airlines, which I've previously anointed as the worst airline stock, has $34 billion in net debt and $48 billion in aggregate debt. The interest American Airlines is going to have to pay to service this debt could cripple its growth initiatives for the next decade.\nMeanwhile, companies like Norwegian Cruise Line came perilously close to bankruptcy during the pandemic. Unlike airlines, which are essential for business travel, cruise ships aren't essential. They'll remain at the mercy of the pandemic until it's firmly in the rearview mirror. That means Norwegian may continue losing money well into 2022, if not beyond.\nA Tesla Model S plugged in for charging. Image source: Tesla.\nAlternative energy for autos in focus\nLastly, Robinhood investors appear to be going all-in on anything that has to do with alternative/clean energy for vehicles.\nElectric vehicle (EV) kingpin Tesla has surpassed Apple to become the most-held stock on the platform, while Ford, General Motors, Workhorse Group, NIO, and Churchill Capital are other EV producers that found their way into the top 50 leaderboard (GM and Ford predominantly produce combustion-engine vehicles at the moment). If we also include Plug Power, FuelCell Energy, and Ideanomics, that's nine of the top 48 Robinhood stocks that are devoted to alternative energy adoption for autos.\nThere's pretty much no question at this point that EVs and potentially hydrogen fuel cells represent the future of the automotive industry. There's a multi-decade opportunity for consumers and enterprise fleets to switch over to alternative solutions, as well as for ancillary players to build the infrastructure necessary to support EVs and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.\nThe issue is that investors have a tendency to overestimate how quickly new technology is adopted, and that's likely what we're witnessing with EVs. The fact that Tesla is worth $647 billion is ludicrous considering that it hasn't demonstrated it can generate a profit from selling its EVs. The only way Tesla has been able to generate a profit is by selling renewable energy credits or taking a one-time benefit from the sale of Bitcoin.\nThe EV space is growing increasingly more crowded, and the major auto stocks are investing tens of billions into new models. It's unlikely that Tesla will be able to hold onto its competitive edge for much longer.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":174,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":153333055,"gmtCreate":1625009465177,"gmtModify":1703849866943,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[666]&nbsp;","listText":"[666]&nbsp;","text":"[666]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/153333055","repostId":"1165468426","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165468426","pubTimestamp":1624976964,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1165468426?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-29 22:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook Could Be A $500 Stock After Court Tosses FTC Case","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165468426","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nWins in court against the FTC and States clear up regulatory headwinds.\nSubstantial profits","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Wins in court against the FTC and States clear up regulatory headwinds.</li>\n <li>Substantial profits will grow throughout the year.</li>\n <li>Facebook may not have much to fear from future regulation either.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e924941f95567d72af0984753c0d9302\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\"><span>naruecha jenthaisong/Moment via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>I started analyzing Facebook (FB) last week and I was surprised how bullish my conclusions were about the company's prospects. With yesterday's wins in federal court, some potential headwinds around litigation are clearing up. I'm now quite bullish on the stock and I think the stock price could be over $500/share by the end of the year.</p>\n<p><b>Facebook scores two wins in court</b></p>\n<p>Facebook scored a significant legal and regulatory victory yesterday with wins in two cases in which they were sued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a number of states. Not only are they near-term wins for the company, and but also for reasons I'll discuss in the next section I think they also bode well for the company's future regulatory prospects.</p>\n<p>In the first case, the Federal Trade Commission (\"FTC\") claimed Facebook had gained monopoly power first through its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp and second through making them inoperable with other platforms. The FTC sued for an injunction that would force Facebook to reverse or unwind the acquisitions and make them open their platform to other programs.</p>\n<p>The court held for Facebook and against the Federal Trade Commission(\"FTC\") on two important items and against Facebook on one. First, the court held that the FTC did not show that Facebook had monopoly power in the field of personal social networking by showing that it had more than 60% market share in that field. Second, the court found the FTC waited too long to seek an injunction against the company. But third, the Court thought it might be possible for the FTC to replead its case seeking an injunction against Facebook for anti-competitive conduct under a different legal standard (see pages 50-53).</p>\n<p>In the second case,the court held even more strongly in favor of Facebook&nbsp;and dismissed the states' claims. The states also sued claiming that Facebook was using monopoly power to keep competitors out and that acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp created a monopoly. The court dismissed both claims saying that first, the states had waited too long to bring their suits and that second, there was nothing illegal under current law to require Facebook to make its services interoperable.</p>\n<p>Legally, we can expect a few things. First the states will probably appeal the dismissal of their suit. I don't see this as a big issue. Parties lose lawsuits all the time and they appeal all the time without changing the result. What happens to the FTC suit is much more interesting.</p>\n<p>As noted above, while the judge dismissed the states' case, he kept the FTC case open and only dismissed their complaint (the active piece of paper in the lawsuit). He basically invited them to re-file the case under the different law he cited. The FTC has a few strategic choices to make at this point. First, they can appeal the decision to a higher court. Second, they can re-plead the case in the way the judge left open for them. Third, they can start to look for another option to regulate the company (such as passing another law or creating an administrative rule). Fourth, they can start negotiating with Facebook. I surmise they'll work on each of the above.</p>\n<p>Normally, losing a case has an impact on what I would call the \"atmosphere\" or \"momentum\" around an issue above and beyond the impact of this ruling in particular. So in most cases I would expect a federal agency to feel somewhat embarrassed or humbled and that could have an effect on their decision-making going forward. In this case, with a clear opening to re-plead the case and start over, they may not be as \"gun shy\" as one might expect.</p>\n<p>To the third point,there are already a number of members of Congress who wanted to regulate tech companies such as Facebook, and a number of them arereacting to the court decisionsaying that it shows the need for new legislation. The Biden administration'snew FTC chairwoman Lina Khan has a reputation as a tech critic, but I haven't found anything about a plan of hers to regulate Facebook. So all-in-all, there is certainly some desire for a change in law but I can't see anything in the works that could be put into place in the very near term.</p>\n<p>Fourth, litigants are always negotiating and it's entirely possible that Facebook has offered some kind of concessions already that we don't know about. I don't see that as a likely outcome here.</p>\n<p><b>Future Regulation Shouldn't Worry Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Based on experience watching regulations change in Washington and my reading of the political tea leaves, I want to explain why I'm not concerned that regulation will hamper Facebook's business prospects.</p>\n<p>First and foremost, while most people think of regulation as a system for the government to keep companies from doing things the companies want to do, it's just as true that regulation carves out a space for companies to do lots of other things without fear of adverse legal consequences. Moreover, the regulations can often entrench incumbents by making compliance too expensive or burdensome for new competitors. This was probably the case with thewell-publicized FTC settlement with Herbalife(HLF) whose share price has basically doubled since its settlement five years ago:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ae2b9ff7e9edb953d2fae3807d1815a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"409\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Regulation building a moat to keep out competitors and ensure profits is also probably a good description of what's happened to tobacco companies such as Philip Morris (PM) and Altria (MO). What would it take for someone to start a new cigarette company? Doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. A third reason regulation often doesn't end up hurting profits is the phenomenon ofregulatory capturein which the regulator ends up in effect working for the company! So all this is to say that even if regulation is coming, it may not necessarily be all that bad.</p>\n<p>Second, one of the most likely outcomes sought in litigation is divestiture or interoperability of Instagram and WhatsApp - and that may be fine for Facebook. I use WhatsApp every day (it's much more popular outside the US), and I also have other competing programs such as Telegram and Viber on my phone. The other two services seem fine, but no one I know uses them on a regular basis. Moreover, no one I know who uses WhatsApp does so because of a link to Facebook right now. (Facebook would like to link them through Messenger, though). It's possible that WhatsApp has already won the competition by being first, better capitalized or executing better. So WhatsApp spinning off from Facebook just might not make a difference to the businesses. If Facebook is forced to make its service interoperable, they might still be able to charge other companies a fee for using their assets and this really might not be a bad business move. I'm less familiar with Instagram and its competitors such as Snapchat (SNAP), but I think a similar conclusion is likely.</p>\n<p>Third, even though there are good reasons to regulate Facebook around concerns about itseffects on users' mental health,political extremismandmonopoly poweramong other things, I just don't see much happening because of how politics works. (For an interesting views on Facebook and its effects on users and society, seeZucked by Roger McNamee). Politics normally ends up serving the interests of the wealthy and powerful, and Facebook, its executives and shareholders are now wealthy and powerful. Facebook has proven effective inlobbying and managing government relations, and it is increasing its focus on these. Facebook may also have powerful allies in Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) and other tech companies which could be wary of further regulations. Right now, a number of the most powerful people in Congress such as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi basically represent Silicon Valley which bodes well for Facebook's interests. Even in the event that Republicans take over one or both houses of Congress in the midterms, I don't believe that the recent trend of \"populism\" among many Republicans will overcome the party's core resistance to regulation and support for corporate America.</p>\n<p>So if I had to make a prediction, it would be that Facebook ends up making some kind of concessions that don't affect operations or profitability but allow politicians and regulators to claim that they've accomplished something. This has the added benefit for Facebook of making it less likely that further reform might come in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Facebook's Recent Earnings are great</b></p>\n<p>Even in the Covid-19 effected year of 2020, Facebook's numbers are outstanding and in the most recent quarter they're even stronger. As you can see from this summary of results included in the company's Form 10-K for 2020, earnings and margins are strong and growing:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f921d22e5694000a51c60e069de30b52\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"304\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>Revenue grew by almost $15 billion in each of the previous 4 years, and net income climbed higher and higher for every year except 2019, when its move to $29 billion in 2020 made up for what it lost the year before.</p>\n<p>If all we had to go on were these backwards looking numbers, I would estimate the \"back of the envelope\" value this company by taking multiplying the most recent earnings of $29 billion by 33 for $957 billion and adding excess cash of $62 billion for a&nbsp;<b>market capitalization of $1,019 billion $359/share</b>. Likewise, I would say that valuing it at only 25x last year's earnings plus excess cash yields a valuation of $787 billion, would mean the company was undervalued at a price $277/share. But for the reasons I'll set out below, I think these numbers are too low.</p>\n<p><b>Estimating this year's earning - much, much higher</b></p>\n<p>In the first quarter of 2021, Facebook earned almost $9.5 billion as you can see from this income statement in the most recent Form 10-Q:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3db9a4108a92e18a59dbb1923cd9c903\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"174\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>It's clear that the first quarter of 2020 had a dramatic reduction in business activity from Covid-19. It would be tough to say how much that effected customers in the first quarter of last year, making a direct comparison very difficult. In order to get a good guess what the strong first quarter means for Facebook, I want to compare the company's user statistics to quarterly profits and make some educated guesses.</p>\n<p>Facebook's earnings presentations give us a description of the monthly active users of all the company's products broken down by quarter:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e25d73bdd71d2f841ab92917e27cee44\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"429\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>As well as revenue:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79d68ef6536f200bbffa310ad257a3ed\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"430\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>and net income:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d7d23e558cff9eb15938c953982d5795\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\"><span>Source: Facebook</span></p>\n<p>Looking over these three charts we see that even though monthly average users grow consistently, there is some seasonality to the revenue and earnings.</p>\n<p>I've made my own spreadsheet of this information:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd491880ca77778e76d41d367223b669\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"151\"><span>Source: Author</span></p>\n<p>In light of those numbers showing:</p>\n<p>(1) MAU grows every quarter, but</p>\n<p>(2) Revenue and Net Income change with the seasons,</p>\n<p>I'm willing to make some rough guesses about the rest of this year:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c413f3304ab59e2ca2b56822ee4465c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"114\"><span>Source: Author</span></p>\n<p>To arrive at these estimate, I kept user growth constant and multiplied revenue by 1.44, 1.4 and 1.3 over its prior year. That's a guess, but I think that having been transparent about how I made my estimates, you can adjust that number up or down as you think best. To arrive at net income, I kept the net income/revenue ratio the same as it had been in the same quarter of the prior year. This captures some of the operating leverage and increasing returns to scale inherent in Facebook's business model.</p>\n<p>I estimated that the company would $9.5 plus $7.2 plus $11 plus $14.5 billion of net income this year, for a total of $42.2 billion. That's quite an improvement over last year's $29 billion!</p>\n<p>If these estimates are reasonable and we assume the company increases cash on the balance sheet to $75 billion, at the not-too-optimistic multiple of 25x earnings for a growing company and including the excess cash, that means Facebook stock could be meaningfully&nbsp;<b>undervalued at a market cap of $1,130 billion or $398/share</b>. Because of the growth we see, I really don't think it's unreasonable to arrive at&nbsp;<b>fair value with a 33x multiple on the stock for $1,461 billion or $526/share</b>.</p>\n<p><b>Global Growth and New Products add upside</b></p>\n<p>The estimates I used in the section above may be too low for two reasons. First, they're not accounting for the increasing returns on Facebook's growth outside the US. Facebook's growth inemerging markets such as Indiais extremely valuable because they have both a long runway for adding users, and the users themselves can be expected to become more profitable as GDP and consumption increase over time at rates faster than those in developed markets.</p>\n<p>Facebook is alsoexpanding rapidly into virtual reality. I don't have any way of estimating how big or how profitable this segment will be, but it's not unreasonable to think they'll have a lead in gaming and social segments and widespread adoption could lead to new kinds of unanticipated uses. For the last several years, spending on research and development has served to push the company's earnings down somewhat, but once they release a commercial product, we could begin to see the fruits of their labor.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>With legal and regulatory challenges seeming less difficult and growing profitability, I am quite bullish on shares of Facebook. As always, a number of things could go wrong. If a new political environment becomes much more hostile to \"Big Tech\" or we see the emergence of a social movement to drop Facebook (I've tried to leave a few times myself!) that would depress earnings and change my thesis. At these prices and with this much growth on the horizon, I'm not concerned about those risks. As they say, \"we like the stock.\"</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Facebook Could Be A $500 Stock After Court Tosses FTC Case</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\">\nFacebook Could Be A $500 Stock After Court Tosses FTC Case\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-29 22:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437058-facebook-500-stock-court-tosses-ftc-case><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nWins in court against the FTC and States clear up regulatory headwinds.\nSubstantial profits will grow throughout the year.\nFacebook may not have much to fear from future regulation either.\n\n...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437058-facebook-500-stock-court-tosses-ftc-case\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437058-facebook-500-stock-court-tosses-ftc-case","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1165468426","content_text":"Summary\n\nWins in court against the FTC and States clear up regulatory headwinds.\nSubstantial profits will grow throughout the year.\nFacebook may not have much to fear from future regulation either.\n\nnaruecha jenthaisong/Moment via Getty Images\nI started analyzing Facebook (FB) last week and I was surprised how bullish my conclusions were about the company's prospects.

I use WhatsApp every day (it's much more popular outside the US), and I also have other competing programs such as Telegram and Viber on my phone. The other two services seem fine, but no one I know uses them on a regular basis. Moreover, no one I know who uses WhatsApp does so because of a link to Facebook right now. (Facebook would like to link them through Messenger, though). It's possible that WhatsApp has already won the competition by being first, better capitalized or executing better. So WhatsApp spinning off from Facebook just might not make a difference to the businesses. If Facebook is forced to make its service interoperable, they might still be able to charge other companies a fee for using their assets and this really might not be a bad business move. I'm less familiar with Instagram and its competitors such as Snapchat (SNAP), but I think a similar conclusion is likely.\nThird, even though there are good reasons to regulate Facebook around concerns about itseffects on users' mental health,political extremismandmonopoly poweramong other things, I just don't see much happening because of how politics works. (For an interesting views on Facebook and its effects on users and society, seeZucked by Roger McNamee). Politics normally ends up serving the interests of the wealthy and powerful, and Facebook, its executives and shareholders are now wealthy and powerful. Facebook has proven effective inlobbying and managing government relations, and it is increasing its focus on these. Facebook may also have powerful allies in Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) and other tech companies which could be wary of further regulations. Right now, a number of the most powerful people in Congress such as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi basically represent Silicon Valley which bodes well for Facebook's interests. Even in the event that Republicans take over one or both houses of Congress in the midterms, I don't believe that the recent trend of \"populism\" among many Republicans will overcome the party's core resistance to regulation and support for corporate America.\nSo if I had to make a prediction, it would be that Facebook ends up making some kind of concessions that don't affect operations or profitability but allow politicians and regulators to claim that they've accomplished something. This has the added benefit for Facebook of making it less likely that further reform might come in the future.\nFacebook's Recent Earnings are great\nEven in the Covid-19 effected year of 2020, Facebook's numbers are outstanding and in the most recent quarter they're even stronger. As you can see from this summary of results included in the company's Form 10-K for 2020, earnings and margins are strong and growing:\nSource: Facebook\nRevenue grew by almost $15 billion in each of the previous 4 years, and net income climbed higher and higher for every year except 2019, when its move to $29 billion in 2020 made up for what it lost the year before.\nIf all we had to go on were these backwards looking numbers, I would estimate the \"back of the envelope\" value this company by taking multiplying the most recent earnings of $29 billion by 33 for $957 billion and adding excess cash of $62 billion for a market capitalization of $1,019 billion $359/share. Likewise, I would say that valuing it at only 25x last year's earnings plus excess cash yields a valuation of $787 billion, would mean the company was undervalued at a price $277/share. But for the reasons I'll set out below, I think these numbers are too low.\nEstimating this year's earning - much, much higher\nIn the first quarter of 2021, Facebook earned almost $9.5 billion as you can see from this income statement in the most recent Form 10-Q:\nSource: Facebook\nIt's clear that the first quarter of 2020 had a dramatic reduction in business activity from Covid-19. It would be tough to say how much that effected customers in the first quarter of last year, making a direct comparison very difficult. In order to get a good guess what the strong first quarter means for Facebook, I want to compare the company's user statistics to quarterly profits and make some educated guesses.\nFacebook's earnings presentations give us a description of the monthly active users of all the company's products broken down by quarter:\nSource: Facebook\nAs well as revenue:\nSource: Facebook\nand net income:\nSource: Facebook\nLooking over these three charts we see that even though monthly average users grow consistently, there is some seasonality to the revenue and earnings.\nI've made my own spreadsheet of this information:\nSource: Author\nIn light of those numbers showing:\n(1) MAU grows every quarter, but\n(2) Revenue and Net Income change with the seasons,\nI'm willing to make some rough guesses about the rest of this year:\nSource: Author\nTo arrive at these estimate, I kept user growth constant and multiplied revenue by 1.44, 1.4 and 1.3 over its prior year. That's a guess, but I think that having been transparent about how I made my estimates, you can adjust that number up or down as you think best. To arrive at net income, I kept the net income/revenue ratio the same as it had been in the same quarter of the prior year. This captures some of the operating leverage and increasing returns to scale inherent in Facebook's business model.\nI estimated that the company would $9.5 plus $7.2 plus $11 plus $14.5 billion of net income this year, for a total of $42.2 billion. That's quite an improvement over last year's $29 billion!\nIf these estimates are reasonable and we assume the company increases cash on the balance sheet to $75 billion, at the not-too-optimistic multiple of 25x earnings for a growing company and including the excess cash, that means Facebook stock could be meaningfully undervalued at a market cap of $1,130 billion or $398/share. Because of the growth we see, I really don't think it's unreasonable to arrive at fair value with a 33x multiple on the stock for $1,461 billion or $526/share.\nGlobal Growth and New Products add upside\nThe estimates I used in the section above may be too low for two reasons. First, they're not accounting for the increasing returns on Facebook's growth outside the US. Facebook's growth inemerging markets such as Indiais extremely valuable because they have both a long runway for adding users, and the users themselves can be expected to become more profitable as GDP and consumption increase over time at rates faster than those in developed markets.\nFacebook is alsoexpanding rapidly into virtual reality. I don't have any way of estimating how big or how profitable this segment will be, but it's not unreasonable to think they'll have a lead in gaming and social segments and widespread adoption could lead to new kinds of unanticipated uses. For the last several years, spending on research and development has served to push the company's earnings down somewhat, but once they release a commercial product, we could begin to see the fruits of their labor.\nConclusion\nWith legal and regulatory challenges seeming less difficult and growing profitability, I am quite bullish on shares of Facebook. As always, a number of things could go wrong. If a new political environment becomes much more hostile to \"Big Tech\" or we see the emergence of a social movement to drop Facebook (I've tried to leave a few times myself!) that would depress earnings and change my thesis. At these prices and with this much growth on the horizon, I'm not concerned about those risks. As they say, \"we like the stock.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":128,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":153397551,"gmtCreate":1625009363573,"gmtModify":1703849863064,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Awesome","listText":"Awesome","text":"Awesome","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/153397551","repostId":"1121320099","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121320099","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1624978930,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1121320099?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-29 23:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD stock surged 3% in Tuesday morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121320099","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"AMD stock surged 3% on AMD's planned purchase of Xilinx being approved by UK's antitrust authority.X","content":"<p>AMD stock surged 3%&nbsp;on&nbsp;AMD's planned purchase of Xilinx being&nbsp;approved by UK's antitrust authority.Xilinx&nbsp;shares&nbsp;surged&nbsp;2%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34ea51d2655a990239ad58f1954a71dd\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<ul>\n <li>AMD's(NASDAQ:AMD)&nbsp;planned $35B acquisition of Xilinx(NASDAQ:XLNX)has been approved by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority.</li>\n <li>The approval was disclosed on the&nbsp;UK CMA's website.</li>\n <li>In May&nbsp;the UK's CMA said it started its inquiry into the proposed deal.</li>\n <li>Earlier this month, Xilinx gained after report that&nbsp;European antitrust reportedly has no issues&nbsp;with AMD deal.

ARK Invest's Cathie Wood is seeing her exchange-traded funds (ETFs)bounce back in recent weeks, regaining the momentum that made her high-growth investing style the envy of fund managers in 2020.\nShe's been shopping for bargains these days, and with her strong track record she may have found some this week. On Tuesday she increased her positions inWalt Disney(NYSE: DIS),DocuSign(NASDAQ: DOCU), andUiPath(NYSE: PATH). Let's take a closer look at her shopping list.Image source: Walt Disney.\nWalt Disney\nDisney isn't a name investors typically associate with Wood's aggressive growth style of investing, but there's no denying that the House of Mouse can be disruptive. It's a major player in streaming with the success of Disney+ and Hulu. Its 10-figure acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm give it an unmatched catalog of intellectual property. Disney's theme parks are the most visited gated attractions in the world.\nDisney hit an all-time high just above $203 four months ago, fueled by the success of Disney+ and the market anticipating a reopening of the economy. It has given back some of those gains, and now tradesnearly 15% awayfrom revisiting that high-water mark.\nIt's hard to bet against Disney. Disney+ has been around for less than two years, and it has already topped 100 million subscribers. Disney films routinely top box office reports, and now that folks are returning to the multiplex, theme park, and eventually cruise ship, Disney is everywhere families will be in the near future.\nDocuSign\nThe pandemic made in-office signing of contracts, leases, and other important documents a thing of the past, and there's no going back to wet signatures now. DocuSign has emerged as a niche leader in this booming field, and unlike many companies that thrived through the COVID-19 crisis it's easy to see DocuSign continuing to grow in the next phase of humanity's recovery.\nDocuSign has evolved into a full digital documents management specialist, and the growth has been stellar. Revenue rose 39% and then 49% in its last two fiscal years, and the 58% increase it posted in its latest report is its headiest growth as a public company.\nThis isn't just a top-line growth story. DocuSign is now profitable, and it has beaten Wall Street's profit target by at least 57% in each of the past quarters. The stock peaked in the fall of last year, butit's been rallyingto the point that it's just a good trading day away or two from setting a new high.\nUiPath\nFinally we have to talk about UiPath. Wood added to her UiPath position in three of ARK Invest's ETFs. UiPath isn't a household name, but it's a name that growth investors are warming up to as a leading provider of enterprise software for robotics and automation.\nUiPath has been public forless than three months, but it's been a wild ride. UiPath went public at $56, peaking at $90 in May before falling back to the high $60s. UiPath is living up to the initial hype with its growth. UiPath's top line rose 65% in its latest quarter, and that follows an 81% top-line pop in fiscal 2021.

the graves of","content":"<p>Retail traders spent Thursday morning buying the dip created by all the people digging the graves of meme stocks on Tuesday and Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Shares of GameStopGME,+0.38%and AMC EntertainmentAMC,+6.37%started the holiday-shortened week in something of a nosedive, with both falling sharply from Tuesday morning into midday Thursday before sudden potent rallies fueled by Reddit chatter and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> hashtags saw both stocks recover dramatically, and AMC almost erase its weekly loss entirely before falling back a bit in the afternoon.</p>\n<p>Going into Tuesday,the narrative around Wall Streetwas that a malaise had gripped meme stocks thanks to retail traders losing interest as the COVID pandemic slowly ebbs and summer lures many of them away from the daily grind of the markets, while some Wall Street analysts have even made the decision to stop covering meme stocks arguing that they don’t trade on cogent analysis.</p>\n<p>And while news of GameStoppicking up more fulfillment spacesparked loud whispers on social media, and AMC’s chief executivemay have made a massive concessionto the individual investors that own perhaps 80% of his company’s float, the only thing that appeared to get meme bulls charging again was growing chatter that they were done fighting.</p>\n<p>As headlines blared news that meme stocks were entering a bear market using the power duo as an example, retail investors who commonly refer to themselves as “Apes,” began to organize using <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of their favorite weapons: hashtags.</p>\n<p>On Wednesday afternoon, the message #ApesNotLeaving began trending on Twitter, evoking a growing cry from the retail investor community that they had not yet begun to fight what it sees as market manipulation by hedge funds using synthetic shorts on stocks that mainstream finance wants to see crippled.</p>\n<p>“I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – the price is psychological,”tweeted popular retail trading influencerand YouTube personality @TradesTrey on Wednesday morning. “If you believe a stock is worth “x” and it’s trading at “x – y”, the discount should excite you. Patience.”</p>\n<p>“#ApesNotLeaving,”Trey tweeted three hours later.</p>\n<p>The cry grew louder as AMC and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">GameStop</a> shares fell, prompting many on Reddit to rap their fellow “paper-handed Apes” on their allegorical knuckles for potentially selling out as the stocks fell, while also lashing out at hedge funds for creating what they saw as an artificial dip.</p>\n<p>“Who will be buying AMC today when market opens?” posited an 8am EST post from Hot-Brief-779 on popular subreddit r/AMCStock.</p>\n<p>“I will buy more after it drops even lower!,” responded ApopkaHoosier, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the more than 570 users to do so. “[Hedge funds] want me to be filthy rich when this squeezes!”</p>\n<p>Trading volume in GameStop was almost one-third its daily average on Thursday, but AMC shares were just off the mark, and the movement around that stock was even frothier with social media mentions of the theater chain trending on their own. #AMCThreshold and #AMCSTRONG were particularly popular hashtags.</p>\n<p>If anything, Thursday’s move proved that there is no power stronger in the meme stock scene than the notion that retail investors have been conquered by short sellers.</p>\n<p>One tweet that summed up the day’s parabolic move made it colorfully blunt that the retail crowd is not done with its quest for “MOASS”: The Mother of All Short Squeezes.</p>\n<p>“If you even remotely try to argue that millions woke up at exactly 4 AM, to sell off massive amounts of shares to cause simultaneous MASSIVE dumps across multiple stocks &amp; Crypto you’re f***ing delusional,”tweeted @Katniss_AMC. “This is gonna be wild.”</p>\n<p>“#APESNOTLEAVING,” she concluded.</p>","source":"lsy1604288433698","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Patience.”\n“#ApesNotLeaving,”Trey tweeted three hours later.\nThe cry grew louder as AMC and GameStop shares fell, prompting many on Reddit to rap their fellow “paper-handed Apes” on their allegorical knuckles for potentially selling out as the stocks fell, while also lashing out at hedge funds for creating what they saw as an artificial dip.\n“Who will be buying AMC today when market opens?” posited an 8am EST post from Hot-Brief-779 on popular subreddit r/AMCStock.\n“I will buy more after it drops even lower!,” responded ApopkaHoosier, one of the more than 570 users to do so. “[Hedge funds] want me to be filthy rich when this squeezes!”\nTrading volume in GameStop was almost one-third its daily average on Thursday, but AMC shares were just off the mark, and the movement around that stock was even frothier with social media mentions of the theater chain trending on their own. #AMCThreshold and #AMCSTRONG were particularly popular hashtags.\nIf anything, Thursday’s move proved that there is no power stronger in the meme stock scene than the notion that retail investors have been conquered by short sellers.\nOne tweet that summed up the day’s parabolic move made it colorfully blunt that the retail crowd is not done with its quest for “MOASS”: The Mother of All Short Squeezes.\n“If you even remotely try to argue that millions woke up at exactly 4 AM, to sell off massive amounts of shares to cause simultaneous MASSIVE dumps across multiple stocks & Crypto you’re f***ing delusional,”tweeted @Katniss_AMC. “This is gonna be wild.”\n“#APESNOTLEAVING,” she concluded.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":296,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9006574860,"gmtCreate":1641804912266,"gmtModify":1676533649294,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for your info","listText":"Thanks for your info","text":"Thanks for your info","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9006574860","repostId":"1124862999","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124862999","pubTimestamp":1641780202,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1124862999?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-01-10 10:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Top Bill Gates Stocks for Dividend Growth Investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124862999","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Investors looking for high-quality dividend growth stocks to buy for the long term can gain valuable","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Investors looking for high-quality dividend growth stocks to buy for the long term can gain valuable insights by reviewing the holdings of successful investors. One example is found with a list of Bill Gates stocks.</p><p>This article will examine three of our favorite names among the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation. The portfolio holds just 21 common stocks.</p><p>In this article, we will examine three of our dividend-paying favorites in the portfolio.</p><p>They are:</p><ul><li><b>Microsoft</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>)</li><li><b>Walmart</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>)</li><li><b>Waste Management</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WM</u></b>)</li></ul><p>Bill Gates Stocks: Microsoft (MSFT)</p><p>First up on our list of Bill Gates stocks is the company Gates used to lead, Microsoft, which also happens to be one of the largest companies in the world.</p><p>The company develops, manufactures, and sells software and hardware to businesses and consumers. Microsoft’s products include operating systems, business software, software development tools, cloud services and video games and gaming hardware. The $2.5 trillion company has annual revenues of $168 billion. Microsoft is the seventh largest holding in the Gates Foundation’s portfolio.</p><p>To reach a market capitalization of Microsoft’s size takes multiple competitive advantages to achieve.</p><p>Microsoft’s transition to cloud computing service during the middle of the previous decade has positioned the company as the top name in an expanding industry. Some estimates put the global cloud computing market size at $445 billion for 2021, but the size of the market could more than double by 2026.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic probably accelerated the move to cloud as business, schools, government, and other institutions and industries moved online over the last two years. Microsoft’s Azure has had extensive growth as customers seek out the company’s offerings. For context, Microsoft’s cloud business generated nearly $21 billion in revenue in its most recent quarter.</p><p>The company’s personal computing segment also remains a core business, but has expanded beyond just operating systems to include gaming, search, advertising, news and tablets. Microsoft’s Office 365 business has seen impressive growth rates once the product lineup moved to a software-as-a-service system, including a 23% improvement in revenue last quarter. This recurring revenue stream provides Microsoft with an abundance of cash to deploy for acquisitions, share repurchase or dividends.</p><p>Microsoft has one of the best balance sheets in the entire market. The company is one of just two that has a AAA credit rating, the highest credit rating available. Microsoft’s business has been so successful at generating cash that the company had nearly $130 billion of cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet against $50 billion of long-term debt.</p><p>Microsoft has used its abundance of free cash flow to provide 20 consecutive years of dividend growth. The dividend yield is just 0.8%, but the expected payout ratio for the current fiscal year is very low at 28%.</p><p>With strong growth rates, including an earnings-per-share CAGR of close to 27% over the past five fiscal years, and a leadership position in nearly all of its businesses, it is likely that Microsoft will continue to see excellent results as well as raise its dividend going forward.</p><p>Walmart (WMT)</p><p>The next among our Bill Gates stocks is Walmart, which is the largest retail chain in the world. The company opened its first discount store in 1945, but today has operations around the world.</p><p>Walmart has a market capitalization of more than $400 billion and generates annual revenue of $545 billion. Walmart checks in as the fifth largest position in the portfolio.</p><p>Like Microsoft, Walmart benefits from a massive presence in its industry. The company has close to 3,570 supercenters, 800 Neighborhood Markets and 600 Sam’s Clubs in the U.S. alone. Walmart also has a strong international presence as the company has another 6,100 stores spread over 25 different countries around the world.</p><p>It is estimated that Walmart sees 230 million customers each week around the world. This provides the company an extremely large customer base, something that very few, if any, other retailers can claim.</p><p>The reach of the company is one of the primary reasons that Walmart can keep its prices on everyday items low as merchants want access to the customer base. Another factor in keeping prices low is that Walmart’s distribution network reduces the cost of transporting goods to stores.</p><p>Walmart’s low prices are always attractive to consumers, especially under recessionary conditions when budgets become tighter. This helps to shield the company from declines in revenue and earnings-per-share even in the event of an economic downturn. The company’s performance during the Great Recession speaks to this as earnings-per-share grew high single-digits each year during the 2007 to 2009 time period.</p><p>The company also prospered during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic as revenue climbed higher every quarter during calendar year 2020. Higher demand during the height of the pandemic wasn’t a one-off event either. The two-year stack rates for revenue growth are in the high single-digit to low double-digit range for each of the last four quarters. Comparable sales were up nearly 16% on a two-year stack basis in the most recent quarter. Top-line gains have been abundant over the medium-term as year-over-year revenue has shown improvement every quarter for the past five years.</p><p>Walmart’s most recent focus has been on building its e-commerce business, something that likely will provide meaningful lift to the business. E-commerce really took off in 2020, as sales through this channel were up 79% as consumers used online shopping to meet their needs during the pandemic. Again, this was far from a one-time event as e-commerce sales were higher by 8% in the third-quarter of fiscal year 2022, showing that this channel remains an important avenue for revenue growth.</p><p>Walmart’s successful execution of its business model over the years has enabled the company to grow its dividend for 48 consecutive years, putting the company just two years shy of reaching Dividend King status. The stock offers a market beating dividend yield of 1.6% that looks very safe due to the projected payout ratio of 34% for the year.</p><p>With a large footprint worldwide and a growing e-commerce business, Walmart should remain one of the leading retailers in the market place.</p><p>Bill Gates Stocks: Waste Management (WM)</p><p>Last on our list of Bill Gates stocks is Waste Management, a leading provider of waste management services. The company provides a wide range of services, including collection, transfer, disposal and recycling.</p><p>Waste Management produced revenue of $15 billion last year and is valued at $68 billion today. The stock is the second largest position in Gates Foundation’s portfolio.</p><p>Waste Management is the largest provider of waste services in North America. The company owns and operates close to 270 landfills, 348 transformation stations and 103 material recovery facilities.</p><p>In total, the company’s customer list numbers more than 21 million. There are just a few major names in the industry, giving Waste Management an edge on the competition just due to its size. This also provides the company the ability to increase prices while not risking the loss of its customer base.</p><p>Waste Management has also taken steps to augment its business by acquiring smaller companies. For example, the company purchased Advanced Disposal in late October 2020. The transaction enlarged Waste Management’s footprint as Advanced Disposal provides waste management and recycling services to approximately 3 million commercial, industrial, and residential customers in 16 states in the eastern portion of the country.</p><p>Acquisitions, combined with volume growth, led to a more than 20% increase in revenue in the most recent quarter. Earnings-per-share also grew significantly, providing further evidence that Waste Management has recovered from the pandemic.</p><p>The company has seen an impact from wage inflation in its business, but Waste Management is helping to nullify these pressures with price increases across most of its contracts.</p><p>Waste collection has proven to be a good business to be in even in a recession. The company saw relatively stable earnings results during the last recession. Covid-19 was a slight negative impact on results last year. However, Waste Management is expected to see a new high for earnings-per-share for 2021, speaking to the quality and resilient nature of the company’s business.</p><p>Waste Management has a solid dividend growth streak of its own, having raised distributions for the last 18 years. The stock’s yield comes in at 1.4%. Waste Management has a projected payout ratio for 2021 of 47%. The company’s leadership position in its industry coupled with strategic acquisitions should provide ongoing tailwinds to Waste Management’s business, likely leading to future dividend growth.</p><p>Final Thoughts</p><p>Looking at the holdings of well-known investors can provide the average investor with a list of quality companies to choose from.</p><p>Microsoft, Walmart, and Waste Management are three of the largest positions in the Gates Foundation’ portfolio. Each name is blessed with multiple competitive advantages that sets the companies apart from their respective peer group.</p><p>All three stocks have dividend-growth streaks of at least 18 years, which means each has increased its dividend through at least one recession and one Covid-19 impact year.</p><p>The yields for all three stocks are on the low side, but each business appears primed for continued strength, which will likely lead to continued dividend growth.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Top Bill Gates Stocks for Dividend Growth Investors</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Top Bill Gates Stocks for Dividend Growth Investors\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-10 10:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/01/3-top-bill-gates-stocks-for-dividend-growth-investors/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors looking for high-quality dividend growth stocks to buy for the long term can gain valuable insights by reviewing the holdings of successful investors.

Each name is blessed with multiple competitive advantages that sets the companies apart from their respective peer group.All three stocks have dividend-growth streaks of at least 18 years, which means each has increased its dividend through at least one recession and one Covid-19 impact year.The yields for all three stocks are on the low side, but each business appears primed for continued strength, which will likely lead to continued dividend growth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":390,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169981304,"gmtCreate":1623812442608,"gmtModify":1703820254806,"author":{"id":"3586865030350230","authorId":"3586865030350230","name":"YinnMing","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb5f6208b2090521a6aa4e2013b877e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agreed with the new as&nbsp;it still need money for the&nbsp;growth.
