href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BNTX\">BioNTech SE</a> and from Moderna Inc. to children as young as 6 months old.</p><p>The panel voted 21 to 0 in a pair of votes on Wednesday in support of expanding access to the vaccines.</p><p>The positive recommendations will likely lead soon to expanding the U.S. Covid-19 vaccination campaign to the 19.6 million children from 6 months to under 5 years of age, one of the last groups of people in the U.S. waiting for shots.</p><p>The Food and Drug Administration, which doesn&#39;t have to follow the panel&#39;s recommendations but usually does, is expected to authorize the shots within days. Vaccinations could begin as early as June 21, according to the Biden administration.</p><p>Moderna&#39;s two-dose vaccine is up for the FDA&#39;s authorization in children 6 months to 5 years, while Pfizer&#39;s three-dose shot is under review for children 6 months to 4 years. The committee on Tuesday recommended that the agency expand use of Moderna&#39;s vaccine to older children up to 17 years.</p><p>&#34;There are so many parents who are absolutely desperate to get this vaccine, and I think we owe it to them to give them the choice,&#34; said Dr. Jay Portnoy, a professor of pediatrics at Children&#39;s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.</p><p>&#34;The committee&#39;s support today is imperative to providing a critical tool for pediatricians, parents, and caregivers who eagerly await an option for children under five,&#34; Bill Gruber, Pfizer&#39;s senior vice president of vaccine clinical research and development, said in a statement.</p><p>The panel&#39;s endorsements came after FDA staff reviewed data from the companies&#39; clinical trials, finding the vaccines were generally safe and effective. The FDA also found that both vaccines generated a robust immune response in the children, similar to those in young adults, which was the primary measurement in their clinical trials.</p><p>The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee includes physicians, infectious-disease scientists and other health experts. The panel meets regularly to consider vaccines and medicines under FDA review.</p><p>The FDA, which regulates medical products, must authorize the vaccines before they can be used outside trials. After the FDA&#39;s action, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which offers guidance to doctors, pharmacies and vaccination sites, would set the policy for the youngsters to get the shots.</p><p>Many states and vaccination sites wait for the CDC&#39;s signoff before rolling out shots.</p><p>Children are generally at lower risk of developing severe Covid-19, though hospitalizations increased during the Omicron wave last winter. Health authorities have encouraged vaccinations of children eligible to get the shots to protect not only the children, but also adults.</p><p>Peter Marks, who heads the FDA&#39;s vaccines division, opened up the meeting saying the Omicron surge during the winter resulted in hospitalized children at a rate worse than even a terrible influenza season, and it was important that people &#34;don&#39;t become numb&#34; to pediatric Covid-19 deaths, even if they occur less frequently than in older people.</p><p>&#34;Each child lost essentially fractures a family,&#34; he said.</p><p>While some parents of children under 5 years are eagerly waiting for shots for their young children, surveys suggest most parents are less enthusiastic.</p><p>About 18% of parents surveyed said they wanted to get their child vaccinated right away, while 38% said they plan to wait and see, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll conducted in April.</p><p>About 27% of parents don&#39;t plan to vaccinate their child at all, and 11% will do so only if they are required, according to the survey.</p><p>Some panel members acknowledged the relatively low risks to young children from Covid-19. Yet some said they understood why some parents were afraid their children could get a serious case requiring hospitalization.</p><p>&#34;The lack of the vaccines for these young children has been a gap for many, and has really had an impact on their lives,&#34; said committee member Jeannette Lee, a professor of biostatistics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.</p><p>Other committee members said parents should know their children would need to get all three doses of the Pfizer vaccine before it can protect against Covid-19.</p><p>&#34;People who&#39;ve gotten two doses of that vaccine -- they have to know they&#39;re not protected and they&#39;re going to have to wait,&#34; said Dr. Paul Offit, professor of pediatrics at the Children&#39;s Hospital of Philadelphia. &#34;I just hope parents understand that.&#34;</p><p>Pfizer&#39;s request for authorization is based on a 4,526-child study testing three doses of either a vaccine or placebo, with all doses coming between February and April, when the Omicron variant was prevalent in the U.S.</p><p>The results are preliminary. The FDA said in its staff review that the small number of children who became sick during the trial made it too soon to make definitive conclusions on the vaccine&#39;s effectiveness.</p><p>In its analysis, the FDA found the vaccine was about 80%-effective in preventing symptomatic Covid-19 among young study subjects through April 29.</p><p>For the youngest children in the study, side effects included irritability and drowsiness. Side effects in children 2 to 4 years old included pain at the injection site and fatigue, according to the FDA.</p><p>Pfizer settled on a dose of 3 micrograms -- one-tenth the dose that people 12 years and older receive -- in part because research found the lower dose to be more tolerable in youngsters and could help with adherence, Pfizer&#39;s Dr. Gruber told the panel.</p><p>&#34;A third dose is required also for the 6 months to less than 5 years of age group to ensure a more robust protection against Covid-19 due to Omicron,&#34; Dr. Gruber said.</p><p>In February, the FDA delayed its review of Pfizer&#39;s vaccine for young children, because two doses of its vaccine weren&#39;t effective against Omicron. The delay allowed Pfizer to study a third dose.</p><p>The FDA&#39;s review of Moderna&#39;s vaccine was based on studies testing two doses of either the shot or a placebo in more than 6,300 young children.</p><p>Agency staff said Moderna&#39;s two-dose vaccine was 37%-effective for 2- to 5-year-olds and 51%-effective for children 6 to 23 months, in a study conducted when the Omicron variant was predominant.</p><p>The FDA said children 6 months to 11 years old had lower rates of side effects than adolescents and young adults, with the exception of fever, which was reported more frequently in the younger age groups.</p><p>While the studies of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines didn&#39;t identify any cases of heart-inflammation conditions including myocarditis, the FDA panel is expected to discuss the issue.</p><p>The FDA has identified an elevated risk of the conditions in certain people, particularly males 12 to 17 years old.</p><p>The first two Pfizer doses are given three weeks apart, followed by a third dose at least eight weeks later. The two Moderna doses are given four weeks apart.</p><p>Moderna said it was studying boosters for its young vaccine recipients and that they would probably be needed. &#34;I think all of us agree that these children are going to need a third dose at some point in time,&#34;

The delay allowed Pfizer to study a third dose.The FDA's review of Moderna's vaccine was based on studies testing two doses of either the shot or a placebo in more than 6,300 young children.Agency staff said Moderna's two-dose vaccine was 37%-effective for 2- to 5-year-olds and 51%-effective for children 6 to 23 months, in a study conducted when the Omicron variant was predominant.The FDA said children 6 months to 11 years old had lower rates of side effects than adolescents and young adults, with the exception of fever, which was reported more frequently in the younger age groups.While the studies of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines didn't identify any cases of heart-inflammation conditions including myocarditis, the FDA panel is expected to discuss the issue.The FDA has identified an elevated risk of the conditions in certain people, particularly males 12 to 17 years old.The first two Pfizer doses are given three weeks apart, followed by a third dose at least eight weeks later. The two Moderna doses are given four weeks apart.Moderna said it was studying boosters for its young vaccine recipients and that they would probably be needed. \"I think all of us agree that these children are going to need a third dose at some point in time,\" said Jacqueline Miller, Moderna's senior vice president of infectious diseases.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":309,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9056078063,"gmtCreate":1654915578752,"gmtModify":1676535533844,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9056078063","repostId":"1137297379","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137297379","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1654912141,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1137297379?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-11 09:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, INTC, MSFT: Why Are Tech Stocks Down Today?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1137297379","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Tech stocks such as Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), In","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Tech stocks such as <b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>), <b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>), <b>Alphabet</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>), <b>Intel</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>) and <b>Microsoft</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) are all down big today.</li><li>The downside moves in these companies appear to be directly tied to today&#39;s CPI print.</li><li>Additionally, slower rates of hiring could indicate demand destruction on the horizon, impacting all tech stocks.</li></ul><p>Today, tech stocks are in focus for most investors.

That split will lower Alphabet&#39;s trading price from about $2,300 to $115, but it won&#39;t actually change its market capitalization or valuations.</p><p>Nonetheless, Alphabet might attract some extra attention from retail investors due to its lower price tag. It could also generate more liquidity through options trading, since a single options contract represents 100 shares. And its lower share price could eventually lead to its inclusion in the price-weighted <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b>.</p><p>Alphabet might seem like a wobbly investment after its first-quarter revenue and earnings miss, but I believe it&#39;s still a great stock to buy ahead of its split for four simple reasons.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32b2e700c1b58dfd248602be345ca46f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"364\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>1. An unbeatable advertising business</h2><p>In the first quarter, Alphabet generated 80% of its revenue from Google&#39;s advertising business (including YouTube). Its ad business certainly isn&#39;t immune to macro headwinds -- it suffered temporary slowdowns during both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic -- but it has always bounced back from such downturns.</p><p>Between 2011 and 2021, Google&#39;s annual advertising revenue rose from $36.5 billion to $209.5 billion, a compound annual growth rate of 19.1%. This year, eMarketer estimates Google will control 27.7% of the digital ad market in the U.S. -- putting it in first place ahead of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b> (FB 2.20%) (24.2%) and <b>Amazon</b> (AMZN -0.32%) (13.3%) -- and remain the market leader in most markets outside of China.</p><p>Therefore, if you expect Google to ride out the current macroeconomic headwinds, then this is still a great time to invest in its market-leading digital advertising business.</p><h2>2. An expanding and inescapable ecosystem</h2><p>Google&#39;s core business has grown so rapidly because its ecosystem is practically inescapable. It owns the world&#39;s largest online search engine, the most widely used mobile operating system (Android), the most popular web browser (Chrome), the top webmail service (Gmail), the leading online mapping service (Google Maps), and the largest free streaming video platform (YouTube). It also operates a growing list of adjacent services like YouTube Music, Google Workspace, Google Pay, and Google Photos.</p><p>Those digital tentacles consistently gather personal data from its users, which it uses to better target ads across its ecosystem. That approach is controversial, especially among privacy advocates and antitrust regulators, but it&#39;s remarkably effective for advertisers.</p><h2>3. A rapidly growing cloud business</h2><p>Google operates the third-largest cloud infrastructure platform in the world after <b>Amazon</b> (AMZN -0.32%) Web Services (AWS) and <b>Microsoft</b>&#39;s (MSFT -0.12%) Azure. Google Cloud held an 8% share of the global market in the first quarter, according to Canalys, compared to a 33% share for AWS and a 21% share for Azure.</p><p>Google Cloud won&#39;t catch up to AWS or Azure anytime soon, but its revenue rose 53% to $8.9 billion in 2019, 46% to $13.1 billion in 2020, and 47% to $19.2 billion (amounting to 7% of Alphabet&#39;s total revenue) in 2021. That means it&#39;s growing faster than AWS and at a comparable pace to Azure.</p><p>Google Cloud should continue to grow over the long term as it attracts retailers that don&#39;t want to work with Amazon or tether themselves to Microsoft&#39;s sprawling ecosystem of enterprise software. That expansion should gradually reduce Google&#39;s dependence on its advertising business.</p><h2>4. High growth rates and a low valuation</h2><p>Alphabet&#39;s scale and diversification have enabled it to generate robust growth over the past decade. Looking ahead, analysts expect its revenue to rise both 15% in 2022 and 2023. They expect its earnings to dip 1% this year as it ramps up its spending, but to increase 19% in 2023.</p><p>Over the next five years, they expect Alphabet&#39;s annual earnings to grow at an average rate of about 17%. Investors should take those long-term estimates with a grain of salt, but they give it a low 5-year price-to-earnings-growth (PEG) ratio of 0.8. Stocks with a PEG ratio below 1.0 are considered undervalued, so Alphabet looks dirt cheap relative to its growth potential. By comparison, Meta and Amazon have 5-year PEG ratios of 1.2 and 3.0, respectively.</p><h2>It&#39;s still a great long-term investment</h2><p>Alphabet&#39;s share price might struggle over the next few quarters due to investors&#39; concerns about macroeconomic headwinds for advertising and the recent slowdown in YouTube&#39;s ad sales.</p><p>But as a long-term Alphabet investor, I&#39;m not too worried about these near-term speed bumps.

That split will lower Alphabet's trading price from about $2,300 to $115, but it won't actually change its market capitalization or valuations.Nonetheless, Alphabet might attract some extra attention from retail investors due to its lower price tag. It could also generate more liquidity through options trading, since a single options contract represents 100 shares. And its lower share price could eventually lead to its inclusion in the price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average.Alphabet might seem like a wobbly investment after its first-quarter revenue and earnings miss, but I believe it's still a great stock to buy ahead of its split for four simple reasons.Image source: Getty Images.1. An unbeatable advertising businessIn the first quarter, Alphabet generated 80% of its revenue from Google's advertising business (including YouTube). Its ad business certainly isn't immune to macro headwinds -- it suffered temporary slowdowns during both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic -- but it has always bounced back from such downturns.Between 2011 and 2021, Google's annual advertising revenue rose from $36.5 billion to $209.5 billion, a compound annual growth rate of 19.1%. This year, eMarketer estimates Google will control 27.7% of the digital ad market in the U.S. -- putting it in first place ahead of Meta Platforms (FB 2.20%) (24.2%) and Amazon (AMZN -0.32%) (13.3%) -- and remain the market leader in most markets outside of China.Therefore, if you expect Google to ride out the current macroeconomic headwinds, then this is still a great time to invest in its market-leading digital advertising business.2. An expanding and inescapable ecosystemGoogle's core business has grown so rapidly because its ecosystem is practically inescapable. It owns the world's largest online search engine, the most widely used mobile operating system (Android), the most popular web browser (Chrome), the top webmail service (Gmail), the leading online mapping service (Google Maps), and the largest free streaming video platform (YouTube). It also operates a growing list of adjacent services like YouTube Music, Google Workspace, Google Pay, and Google Photos.Those digital tentacles consistently gather personal data from its users, which it uses to better target ads across its ecosystem. That approach is controversial, especially among privacy advocates and antitrust regulators, but it's remarkably effective for advertisers.3. A rapidly growing cloud businessGoogle operates the third-largest cloud infrastructure platform in the world after Amazon (AMZN -0.32%) Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft's (MSFT -0.12%) Azure. Google Cloud held an 8% share of the global market in the first quarter, according to Canalys, compared to a 33% share for AWS and a 21% share for Azure.Google Cloud won't catch up to AWS or Azure anytime soon, but its revenue rose 53% to $8.9 billion in 2019, 46% to $13.1 billion in 2020, and 47% to $19.2 billion (amounting to 7% of Alphabet's total revenue) in 2021. That means it's growing faster than AWS and at a comparable pace to Azure.Google Cloud should continue to grow over the long term as it attracts retailers that don't want to work with Amazon or tether themselves to Microsoft's sprawling ecosystem of enterprise software. That expansion should gradually reduce Google's dependence on its advertising business.4. High growth rates and a low valuationAlphabet's scale and diversification have enabled it to generate robust growth over the past decade. Looking ahead, analysts expect its revenue to rise both 15% in 2022 and 2023. They expect its earnings to dip 1% this year as it ramps up its spending, but to increase 19% in 2023.Over the next five years, they expect Alphabet's annual earnings to grow at an average rate of about 17%. Investors should take those long-term estimates with a grain of salt, but they give it a low 5-year price-to-earnings-growth (PEG) ratio of 0.8. Stocks with a PEG ratio below 1.0 are considered undervalued, so Alphabet looks dirt cheap relative to its growth potential. By comparison, Meta and Amazon have 5-year PEG ratios of 1.2 and 3.0, respectively.It's still a great long-term investmentAlphabet's share price might struggle over the next few quarters due to investors' concerns about macroeconomic headwinds for advertising and the recent slowdown in YouTube's ad sales.But as a long-term Alphabet investor, I'm not too worried about these near-term speed bumps. I'm confident Google's platforms will continue to grow over the next decade, and I believe Alphabet's upcoming stock split will generate fresh interest from retail investors and options traders. Simply put, this tech titan remains a rock-solid investment in a tumultuous market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":336,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9051063823,"gmtCreate":1654610164162,"gmtModify":1676535477681,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy","listText":"buy","text":"buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9051063823","repostId":"2241302751","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2241302751","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1654604362,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2241302751?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-07 20:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Invest in Nvidia Right Now?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2241302751","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This best-in-class semiconductor company is down more than 40% from its peak.

Its first quarter revenue rose 46% year over year to $8.29 billion, and adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings gained 49% to $1.36 per share. Both figures beat analysts&#39; consensus expectations. However, Nvidia did guide for a sequential revenue decline due to a $500 million headwind caused by the latest COVID-19 lockdowns in China (which it expects to sap $400 million in gaming revenue) and sales not being made in Russia ($100 million in data center revenue). While the lost revenue from Russia may never be recovered, the missing sales to customers in China should reappear as the country lifts restrictions in Shanghai and Beijing.</p><p>But the most important story continues to be Nvidia&#39;s data center segment, which surpassed the gaming segment in revenue once again. This happened for the first time back in fiscal Q2 2020, but that period fell during the early chaos of the pandemic. Last quarter, Nvidia&#39;s data center revenue was up a staggering 83% year over year, better than the gaming segment at 31%, with increased momentum and visibility for the rest of the year.</p><p>While gaming sales should remain solid over the long term, thanks to the growth of video games broadly and the expected rise of the metaverse, Nvidia&#39;s data center segment should continue to outperform and become its most important segment by a significant margin.</p><p>This is because artificial intelligence is just now taking off in earnest due to a couple of key breakthroughs. On the recent conference call with analysts, CEO Jensen Huang pointed to the new innovation of transformers ushering in a sea change for the AI industry. Previously, in order to use and benefit from AI, a business would have to organize and label all of its data -- a hugely time-consuming, expensive, and sometimes impossible process. However, with transformers, a machine can train itself without the need for human-labeled data.</p><p>This innovation is opening up AI insights to a much broader range of industries, where the technology&#39;s use is a key enabler and competitive advantage. And the more easily and affordably businesses can access and use AI, the better it will be for Nvidia&#39;s data center segment. The transformer innovation -- which has taken place over just the past couple of years -- is a big reason Nvidia&#39;s data center revenue has tripled in just two years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a1fd8b625e6303781880eaf51dbd6b2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"490\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Product launches this year should power data center sales</h2><p>In addition to these industrywide breakthroughs, Nvidia has also been innovating at a fast clip. Its new H100 chip, which contains over 80 billion transistors and promises up to 30 times the performance of the A100, is set to launch later this year. Keep in mind, the A100 is the chip delivering all of the company&#39;s current outstanding data center performance, so the segment is likely in for continued growth after the H100 launches.</p><p>Nvidia will also be introducing its first central processing unit (CPU), dubbed Grace, later this year. CPUs have been the domain of <b>Intel</b> and <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>, but Nvidia is coming out with an ARM-based 144-core chip that&#39;s built specifically for AI applications in data centers. Now, Nvidia will have a full stack of chips for a complete data center, including GPUs, CPUs, DPUs (networking processors), systems-on-chips (SOCs), switches, and interconnects. A vertically integrated full ecosystem for data centers could enable lots of growth with increasing margins for Nvidia.</p><p>Aside from its data center chips, Nvidia will also refresh its RTX gaming chips later this year. That could rejuvenate gaming revenue after the expected step-down in the second quarter. As tech companies expand their metaverse buildouts and virtual reality tools -- as several leading tech companies have announced they are doing -- Nvidia should benefit.</p><h2>Has the stock become cheap enough?</h2><p>Most people acknowledge Nvidia is a great business, but do its ample growth prospects justify its current valuation? The stock has been cut nearly in half from its high, but it still trades at 50 times trailing earnings and about 35 times expected 2022 earnings. That&#39;s not exactly cheap.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s price-to-earnings ratio is now back to near the top of its 2018 valuation range -- but that&#39;s also near the low point it touched during its early 2020 pandemic-induced decline.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebff1ef4be9d14db0f7fcbd1f53dacf0\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>NVDA PE Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>However, considering that this is a rapidly changing business and that AI-related sales have only taken off for Nvidia over the past three years, these historical comparisons probably aren&#39;t very helpful.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s first-mover advantage in GPUs may prove insurmountable for competitors for the next decade, so I would anticipate it experiencing rapid data center growth for the next several years. I also think the growth of its data center and AI chips should overcome any cyclical economic headwinds of the type that have led to uneven growth periods for Nvidia in the past.</p><p>At a broader level, however, CEO Jensen Huang and his team have successfully innovated, introduced new products, and shown a propensity for developing cutting-edge tech, from graphics to AI to autonomous vehicles and more. That certainly bodes well for the company&#39;s future.</p><p>Even as a value investor, I&#39;m thinking of opening a position in Nvidia after selling my shares a few years ago. While it&#39;s possible the stock could fall further if we have a bad recession, investors who would like to own it shouldn&#39;t necessarily wait for that worst-case scenario. If you are well diversified, I think Nvidia is buyable at these levels.</p><p>However, I wouldn&#39;t necessarily take a huge position, given the stock&#39;s high price-to-earnings ratio and the high degree of global uncertainty around interest rates. There are other semiconductor stocks that will also benefit from the growth of AI that trade at lower valuations. That being said, if Nvidia&#39;s valuation continues to fall and the business outlook doesn&#39;t change, investors should probably look to add or increase their positions.</p></body></html>","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>Should You Invest in Nvidia Right Now?</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\">\nShould You Invest in Nvidia Right Now?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-07 20:19 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/07/should-you-invest-in-nvidia-right-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It has been a trying time for investors across the technology space, even those holding shares of best-in-class, profitable companies like Nvidia.

CPUs have been the domain of Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, but Nvidia is coming out with an ARM-based 144-core chip that's built specifically for AI applications in data centers. Now, Nvidia will have a full stack of chips for a complete data center, including GPUs, CPUs, DPUs (networking processors), systems-on-chips (SOCs), switches, and interconnects. A vertically integrated full ecosystem for data centers could enable lots of growth with increasing margins for Nvidia.Aside from its data center chips, Nvidia will also refresh its RTX gaming chips later this year. That could rejuvenate gaming revenue after the expected step-down in the second quarter. As tech companies expand their metaverse buildouts and virtual reality tools -- as several leading tech companies have announced they are doing -- Nvidia should benefit.Has the stock become cheap enough?Most people acknowledge Nvidia is a great business, but do its ample growth prospects justify its current valuation? The stock has been cut nearly in half from its high, but it still trades at 50 times trailing earnings and about 35 times expected 2022 earnings. That's not exactly cheap.Nvidia's price-to-earnings ratio is now back to near the top of its 2018 valuation range -- but that's also near the low point it touched during its early 2020 pandemic-induced decline.NVDA PE Ratio data by YChartsHowever, considering that this is a rapidly changing business and that AI-related sales have only taken off for Nvidia over the past three years, these historical comparisons probably aren't very helpful.Nvidia's first-mover advantage in GPUs may prove insurmountable for competitors for the next decade, so I would anticipate it experiencing rapid data center growth for the next several years. I also think the growth of its data center and AI chips should overcome any cyclical economic headwinds of the type that have led to uneven growth periods for Nvidia in the past.At a broader level, however, CEO Jensen Huang and his team have successfully innovated, introduced new products, and shown a propensity for developing cutting-edge tech, from graphics to AI to autonomous vehicles and more. That certainly bodes well for the company's future.Even as a value investor, I'm thinking of opening a position in Nvidia after selling my shares a few years ago. While it's possible the stock could fall further if we have a bad recession, investors who would like to own it shouldn't necessarily wait for that worst-case scenario. If you are well diversified, I think Nvidia is buyable at these levels.However, I wouldn't necessarily take a huge position, given the stock's high price-to-earnings ratio and the high degree of global uncertainty around interest rates. There are other semiconductor stocks that will also benefit from the growth of AI that trade at lower valuations. That being said, if Nvidia's valuation continues to fall and the business outlook doesn't change, investors should probably look to add or increase their positions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":446,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9025603549,"gmtCreate":1653665745381,"gmtModify":1676535323975,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9025603549","repostId":"1144257582","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144257582","kind":"news","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":1653661543,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144257582?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-27 22:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Some Vaccine Stocks Jumped in Early Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144257582","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Some vaccine stocks jumped in early trading. Novavax, Inovio Pharma, Moderna, Ocugen, Vir Biotechnol","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Some vaccine stocks jumped in early trading. Novavax, Inovio Pharma, Moderna, Ocugen, Vir Biotechnology and BioNTech SE climbed between 3% and 10%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06a8e3dae35e6d5f2c6d4e74deb32622\" tg-width=\"385\" tg-height=\"483\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In the second quarter of 2022, the tech leader increased both total sales and earnings per share by 9% year over year, up to $97.3 billion and $1.52, respectively.

Not only does its world-class core business offer stability on top of its persistent growth, but the company&#39;s services segment enjoys a long runway for expansion in the years ahead.</p><p>Fortunately for Apple and its shareholders, the company&#39;s elite balance sheet and cash generation will comfortably facilitate growth for the tech giant in the future. The company has $28.1 billion in cash on its balance sheet, and it continues to generate funds at a red-hot pace. In the past 12 months, Apple has produced $105.8 billion in free cash flow (FCF), and its three-year FCF compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 13%. The company&#39;s robust balance sheet and consistent cash generation provide financial flexibility to increase its dividends, buy back shares, and grow its business in the years to follow.</p><h2>A normalized valuation</h2><p>The recent stock price pullback year to date has made Apple stock a very tempting buy. The stock carries a price-to-earnings multiple of 24 today, representing its lowest trading level since the early summer of 2020.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ff26f227883e6475edef412754fe00f\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL PE Ratio data by YCharts</span></p><p>The tech company&#39;s current earnings multiple is also largely in line with its five-year historical average of 23.

The stock is also trading at its lowest valuation since mid-2020, supplying investors with a favorable margin of safety.

Not only does its world-class core business offer stability on top of its persistent growth, but the company's services segment enjoys a long runway for expansion in the years ahead.Fortunately for Apple and its shareholders, the company's elite balance sheet and cash generation will comfortably facilitate growth for the tech giant in the future. The company has $28.1 billion in cash on its balance sheet, and it continues to generate funds at a red-hot pace. In the past 12 months, Apple has produced $105.8 billion in free cash flow (FCF), and its three-year FCF compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 13%. The company's robust balance sheet and consistent cash generation provide financial flexibility to increase its dividends, buy back shares, and grow its business in the years to follow.A normalized valuationThe recent stock price pullback year to date has made Apple stock a very tempting buy. The stock carries a price-to-earnings multiple of 24 today, representing its lowest trading level since the early summer of 2020.AAPL PE Ratio data by YChartsThe tech company's current earnings multiple is also largely in line with its five-year historical average of 23. But given that Apple has been able to maintain solid growth in recent quarters -- especially compared to the rest of big tech -- investors should be thrilled about buying the stock at existing levels.Apple is a good play on the turbulent stock market todayApple is a wise investment today -- the world-leading technology company continues to expand its business at a steady rate in an economy where many of its peers are suffering from growing pains. The stock is also trading at its lowest valuation since mid-2020, supplying investors with a favorable margin of safety. If you're searching for a durable stock to combat the market's volatility today, Apple might be the choice for you.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":680,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9029900111,"gmtCreate":1652709835633,"gmtModify":1676535146060,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy 🍎","listText":"buy 🍎","text":"buy 🍎","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9029900111","repostId":"2235798704","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2235798704","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1652714308,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2235798704?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-16 23:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: One Big Time Sale","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2235798704","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Investment ThesisApple (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs, manufactures, and distributes smartphones, personal co","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Investment Thesis</h2><p>Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs, manufactures, and distributes smartphones, personal computers, wearables, and related services.

In the following sections, I will explain my reasoning for making this move.</p><p><b>You must take profits to make profits</b></p><p>I often quote my father, who was my mentor and an outstanding stockbroker. One of his mantras was &#34;You have to take profits to make profits.&#34; The meaning behind this is the fact it&#39;s all &#34;unrealized&#34; paper gains until you actually sell the security and transfer the proceeds into your checking account and/or into another investment. Further, he was very disciplined regarding when profits should be taken and why. Fortunately, I fell in love with my Tesla position and have held it way longer than my father ever would have, making it one of my most lucrative investments. Nevertheless, I endured several drawdowns over the years. Now, with Musk buying Twitter (TWTR) by pledging an additional $45 billion worth of Tesla shares, I have decided to take profits and sit this one out amongst other reasons. Let me explain.</p><p><b>Musk&#39;s highly leveraged Tesla position increases risk</b></p><p>Elon is buying a majority of Twitter by taking out a $49 billion margin loan against his Tesla shares. He already has pledged a substantial amount of Tesla shares previously, bringing his margin total to $89 billion. Further, Musk is the first lienholder on the Twitter position. He is on the hook for essentially the first $33 billion of Twitter, if by some chance they can&#39;t pay the bills.</p><p>Musk has already stated it&#39;s not about the money to him, so that doesn&#39;t necessarily give me a nice warm fuzzy feeling about the prospects. Further, if for some unforeseen reason Tesla shares fall and Musk gets a margin call, that would be a major debacle. It has happened before. Nearly 10 years ago to the day, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters demoted its founder and chairman, Robert Stiller, and its lead director, William Davis, after the high-flying coffee company&#39;s share-price plunged forced the men into emergency stock sales resulting from margin calls. In fact, many companies have banned the practice at this point. Now, this is definitely a &#34;backburner&#34; type issue as Musk is constantly receiving new shares and options, yet it is there in the back of my mind. Further, I really don&#39;t find the new Cybertruck appealing. I like Ford&#39;s F150 Lightning pickup, which leads me to my next point.</p><p><b>The competition has finally arrived</b></p><p>The Ford F150 Lightning is now officially in production. I have done my research on the truck and I love it. Ford CEO Jim Farley said on Monday:</p><blockquote><i>The company is not joking around by saying the electric F-150 lightning could be as big a product for the automaker as the Model T back in 1908.</i></blockquote><p>I would have to agree. Ford plans to scale production of the F-150 Lightning even faster than competitors, with plans to boost manufacturing of the Lightning at a plant in Dearborn to 150,000 units in the next year, up from an initial target of 40,000 vehicles.</p><p>What&#39;s more, Ford has secured the lithium-ion batteries needed to meet its expected level of production of 150,000 units next year. Moreover, the company plans to prioritize supplies of semiconductor chips toward the F-150 Lightning.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42cd5b5effe20ffbbd01bed01c0e3bc\" tg-width=\"617\" tg-height=\"389\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Ford F150 Lightning Pickup (Ford website)</span></p><p>The response has been so overwhelming, Ford is no longer taking retail reservations at this time. Additionally, Ford isn&#39;t the only competition. As I&#39;m sure you are aware, there is a plethora of new EV vehicle entrants into the race. The primary reason I&#39;ve chosen to switch from Tesla to Ford is the product. Secondarily, is valuation. Let me explain.</p><p><b>Two completely different animals when it comes to valuation</b></p><p>Tesla trades at 16 times sales while Ford currently trading at 0.47 times sales. Basically, making Ford the Rodney Dangerfield of EV players – “Ford don&#39;t get no respect!” Ha! Now, Tesla may very well deserve its elevated valuation based on its growth rate trajectory and the value of said future cash flows. Nonetheless, under the current Federal Reserve regime, the value of these future cash flows may be diminished greatly by inflation and increased interest rates. I am making a conscious effort to reduce my exposure to &#34;long-duration assets.&#34; Let me explain why Ford presents a better opportunity under current conditions.</p><p><b>Ford significantly undervalued</b></p><p>First of all, Ford is basically trading for a song at the present valuation. Ford&#39;s forward P/E of 6.57 is just over a third of the current S&amp;P 500 Forward P/E of 19.44. The stock is trading for 1.2 times book of $12.14. If ever there was a bargain basement buying opportunity in Ford, this is it.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ecd5be52cd449328e56f792ebe9ad27\" tg-width=\"467\" tg-height=\"134\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Ford Fundamentals (Finviz)</span></p><p>On top of this, management has done an excellent job of cleaning up the balance sheet. The company maintains a fortress balance sheet with $11.63 per share in cash alone. This helps me not just sleep well, but sleep like a baby at night. Furthermore, the stock has sold off substantially since the start of the year and appears to me to be at an inflection point.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5faca498ac9117d6d6aebc61f4c22dea\" tg-width=\"278\" tg-height=\"389\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Ford 2022 Performance (Finviz)</span></p><p>With the stock trading for rock bottom pricing and having the weak hands thoroughly shaken out over the last few months by the insipid macro environment, I suggest now is an excellent time to start a position heading into earnings. One of my top investing mentors, Sir John Templeton&#39;s quote of &#34;Buy at the point of maximum pessimism&#34; seems quite apropos. The market just experienced a 7 to 1 advance/decline trading day today with 7 stocks down for every 1 stock up. This qualifies as a substantial washout in my book. The baby has definitely been thrown out with the bath water in my book. Furthermore, the Ford CEO Jim Farley is a salesman extraordinaire.</p><p><b>Ford CEO Jim Farley is special</b></p><p>Ford&#39;s CEO Jim Farley has personality for days and is extremely competitive. His statement that the Ford F150 Lightning will be bigger than the model T is the proof in the pudding of what I say. Not to mention the electrifying Ford Mustang Mach-E which definitely lives up to the hype.</p><p>Farley has captured the attention of all, rivaling the likes of P.T. Barnum in some ways, much like his famous cousin Chris Farley of Saturday Night Live, who I absolutely adored. Yet, don&#39;t get me wrong, he has the wherewithal and business acumen to back it up. His career in automobiles was inspired by his grandfather who began working for Ford in 1914. I have faith that Farley will be able to present the best case for the company on the upcoming earnings call. Ford is due to report earnings on April 27th after the close.</p><p><b>Ford Earnings Preview</b></p><p>The following table details Ford&#39;s expected earnings estimates.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b5856ccd7559c4442c6cfac6efae3d8\" tg-width=\"617\" tg-height=\"242\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>You can see that there have been six downward revisions over the last 90 days. With the stock down significantly going into earnings and expectations diminished, I see the company beating estimates and rising. Even so, the real focus will be on guidance, which has already &#34;quasi&#34; been announced with them revealing they will produce 150,000 F150 Lightning pickups rather than the original 40,000. I am expecting Ford to pop on earnings. This is why I made the move to sell Tesla and buy Ford ahead of the announcement. Nonetheless, I have only bought one-third of the position in order to reduce risk. In these situations where I have a positive outlook on earnings, I will divide the buys into thirds. One-third before earnings to gain a foothold, one-third after earnings, and one-third in reserve to buy on any future potential weakness. I always suggest layering into new positions over time to reduce risk. Now let&#39;s wrap it up.</p><p><b>Wrap up</b></p><p>I love Elon Musk and all that he has done for the country and the world frankly. Even so, adding Twitter to his endeavors in addition to Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, The Boring Company, and any others I may have forgotten, I think he may be reaching his limit. Further, he definitely has maxed out his Tesla margin credit card at this point, which gives me pause. Yet, the primary factor that sealed the deal for me was what I believe is Ford&#39;s superior product, the F150 Lightning, which I plan to buy as soon as available. On top of this, Ford&#39;s conservative valuation was a major selling point as well. The valuation factor is of particular import to me based on the recent change in the Federal Reserve&#39;s regime, from Dove to Hawk. And finally, I made this move in order to cash in and &#34;realize&#34; the substantial gains I had with my long-term Tesla position. I have held it in a tax advantaged account, so the capital gains created were not an issue for me. I bring this up because this transaction is particular to my unique situation.

Yet, business is business, and my intuition and research is telling me to make this change.In the following piece, I will expound on why I have decided to take profits on my Tesla position and start a new position in Ford.jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty ImagesWhat Happened?Today, I took profits on my long-term position in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and used a portion of the proceeds to start a position in Ford (NYSE:F). In the following sections, I will explain my reasoning for making this move.You must take profits to make profitsI often quote my father, who was my mentor and an outstanding stockbroker. One of his mantras was \"You have to take profits to make profits.\" The meaning behind this is the fact it's all \"unrealized\" paper gains until you actually sell the security and transfer the proceeds into your checking account and/or into another investment. Further, he was very disciplined regarding when profits should be taken and why. Fortunately, I fell in love with my Tesla position and have held it way longer than my father ever would have, making it one of my most lucrative investments. Nevertheless, I endured several drawdowns over the years. Now, with Musk buying Twitter (TWTR) by pledging an additional $45 billion worth of Tesla shares, I have decided to take profits and sit this one out amongst other reasons. Let me explain.Musk's highly leveraged Tesla position increases riskElon is buying a majority of Twitter by taking out a $49 billion margin loan against his Tesla shares. He already has pledged a substantial amount of Tesla shares previously, bringing his margin total to $89 billion. Further, Musk is the first lienholder on the Twitter position. He is on the hook for essentially the first $33 billion of Twitter, if by some chance they can't pay the bills.Musk has already stated it's not about the money to him, so that doesn't necessarily give me a nice warm fuzzy feeling about the prospects. Further, if for some unforeseen reason Tesla shares fall and Musk gets a margin call, that would be a major debacle. It has happened before. Nearly 10 years ago to the day, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters demoted its founder and chairman, Robert Stiller, and its lead director, William Davis, after the high-flying coffee company's share-price plunged forced the men into emergency stock sales resulting from margin calls. In fact, many companies have banned the practice at this point. Now, this is definitely a \"backburner\" type issue as Musk is constantly receiving new shares and options, yet it is there in the back of my mind. Further, I really don't find the new Cybertruck appealing. I like Ford's F150 Lightning pickup, which leads me to my next point.The competition has finally arrivedThe Ford F150 Lightning is now officially in production. I have done my research on the truck and I love it. Ford CEO Jim Farley said on Monday:The company is not joking around by saying the electric F-150 lightning could be as big a product for the automaker as the Model T back in 1908.I would have to agree. Ford plans to scale production of the F-150 Lightning even faster than competitors, with plans to boost manufacturing of the Lightning at a plant in Dearborn to 150,000 units in the next year, up from an initial target of 40,000 vehicles.What's more, Ford has secured the lithium-ion batteries needed to meet its expected level of production of 150,000 units next year. Moreover, the company plans to prioritize supplies of semiconductor chips toward the F-150 Lightning.Ford F150 Lightning Pickup (Ford website)The response has been so overwhelming, Ford is no longer taking retail reservations at this time. Additionally, Ford isn't the only competition. As I'm sure you are aware, there is a plethora of new EV vehicle entrants into the race. The primary reason I've chosen to switch from Tesla to Ford is the product. Secondarily, is valuation. Let me explain.Two completely different animals when it comes to valuationTesla trades at 16 times sales while Ford currently trading at 0.47 times sales. Basically, making Ford the Rodney Dangerfield of EV players – “Ford don't get no respect!” Ha! Now, Tesla may very well deserve its elevated valuation based on its growth rate trajectory and the value of said future cash flows. Nonetheless, under the current Federal Reserve regime, the value of these future cash flows may be diminished greatly by inflation and increased interest rates. I am making a conscious effort to reduce my exposure to \"long-duration assets.\" Let me explain why Ford presents a better opportunity under current conditions.Ford significantly undervaluedFirst of all, Ford is basically trading for a song at the present valuation. Ford's forward P/E of 6.57 is just over a third of the current S&P 500 Forward P/E of 19.44. The stock is trading for 1.2 times book of $12.14. If ever there was a bargain basement buying opportunity in Ford, this is it.Ford Fundamentals (Finviz)On top of this, management has done an excellent job of cleaning up the balance sheet. The company maintains a fortress balance sheet with $11.63 per share in cash alone. This helps me not just sleep well, but sleep like a baby at night. Furthermore, the stock has sold off substantially since the start of the year and appears to me to be at an inflection point.Ford 2022 Performance (Finviz)With the stock trading for rock bottom pricing and having the weak hands thoroughly shaken out over the last few months by the insipid macro environment, I suggest now is an excellent time to start a position heading into earnings. One of my top investing mentors, Sir John Templeton's quote of \"Buy at the point of maximum pessimism\" seems quite apropos. The market just experienced a 7 to 1 advance/decline trading day today with 7 stocks down for every 1 stock up. This qualifies as a substantial washout in my book. The baby has definitely been thrown out with the bath water in my book. Furthermore, the Ford CEO Jim Farley is a salesman extraordinaire.Ford CEO Jim Farley is specialFord's CEO Jim Farley has personality for days and is extremely competitive. His statement that the Ford F150 Lightning will be bigger than the model T is the proof in the pudding of what I say. Not to mention the electrifying Ford Mustang Mach-E which definitely lives up to the hype.Farley has captured the attention of all, rivaling the likes of P.T. Barnum in some ways, much like his famous cousin Chris Farley of Saturday Night Live, who I absolutely adored. Yet, don't get me wrong, he has the wherewithal and business acumen to back it up. His career in automobiles was inspired by his grandfather who began working for Ford in 1914. I have faith that Farley will be able to present the best case for the company on the upcoming earnings call. Ford is due to report earnings on April 27th after the close.Ford Earnings PreviewThe following table details Ford's expected earnings estimates.Seeking AlphaYou can see that there have been six downward revisions over the last 90 days. With the stock down significantly going into earnings and expectations diminished, I see the company beating estimates and rising. Even so, the real focus will be on guidance, which has already \"quasi\" been announced with them revealing they will produce 150,000 F150 Lightning pickups rather than the original 40,000. I am expecting Ford to pop on earnings. This is why I made the move to sell Tesla and buy Ford ahead of the announcement. Nonetheless, I have only bought one-third of the position in order to reduce risk. In these situations where I have a positive outlook on earnings, I will divide the buys into thirds. One-third before earnings to gain a foothold, one-third after earnings, and one-third in reserve to buy on any future potential weakness. I always suggest layering into new positions over time to reduce risk. Now let's wrap it up.Wrap upI love Elon Musk and all that he has done for the country and the world frankly. Even so, adding Twitter to his endeavors in addition to Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, The Boring Company, and any others I may have forgotten, I think he may be reaching his limit. Further, he definitely has maxed out his Tesla margin credit card at this point, which gives me pause. Yet, the primary factor that sealed the deal for me was what I believe is Ford's superior product, the F150 Lightning, which I plan to buy as soon as available. On top of this, Ford's conservative valuation was a major selling point as well. The valuation factor is of particular import to me based on the recent change in the Federal Reserve's regime, from Dove to Hawk. And finally, I made this move in order to cash in and \"realize\" the substantial gains I had with my long-term Tesla position. I have held it in a tax advantaged account, so the capital gains created were not an issue for me. I bring this up because this transaction is particular to my unique situation. It may not be appropriate for all investors. That is why you should always consult a financial advisor before making any decisions regarding your investments. Thank you for your time and consideration in reading this article. I hope I provided some tidbit of value with this effort.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9088996938,"gmtCreate":1650296363628,"gmtModify":1676534689606,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9088996938","repostId":"2228495833","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2228495833","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1650295529,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2228495833?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-18 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Avoid This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2228495833","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These investments seem pretty vulnerable right now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>My &#34;three stocks to avoid&#34; column hit a couple of speed bumps in recent weeks, after rolling earlier this year.

A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.</p><p>Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it&#39;s aiming for a higher-end niche market. It also hasn&#39;t increased its starting price since announcing the cost of its base model six months ago, suggesting it may not have the pricing elasticity of other automakers that have bumped prices higher over that time. If Tesla offers a foggy outlook, investors will likely take a step back from other electric-car stocks.</p><p>It&#39;s going to be a bumpy road for some of these investments.

A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it's aiming for a higher-end niche market. It also hasn't increased its starting price since announcing the cost of its base model six months ago, suggesting it may not have the pricing elasticity of other automakers that have bumped prices higher over that time. If Tesla offers a foggy outlook, investors will likely take a step back from other electric-car stocks.It's going to be a bumpy road for some of these investments. If you're looking for safe stocks, you aren't likely to find them in Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group this week.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9088991501,"gmtCreate":1650296174562,"gmtModify":1676534689570,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","listText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","text":"[Strong]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9088991501","repostId":"1144259888","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9018995286,"gmtCreate":1648954570677,"gmtModify":1676534427694,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good read","listText":"good read","text":"good read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9018995286","repostId":"1123130739","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123130739","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1648865521,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123130739?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-02 10:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy for April 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123130739","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Nike: Best-of-breed apparel maker and a leader in sports apparel.Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG): Owns the to","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NKE\">Nike</a>: Best-of-breed apparel maker and a leader in sports apparel.</li><li>Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG): Owns the top two websites in the world.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>: Unrivaled business model with its Products and Services businesses.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a>: Runs a near-duopoly on the credit card market.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">MasterCard</a>: Like Visa, operates with impressive margins and cash flow.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a>: Best-of-breed tech juggernaut catering to multiple end-markets enjoying strong secular growth.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBUX\">Starbucks</a>: A leader in the consumer/retail business and has a strong focus on shareholder returns.</li></ul><p>Early in my investing career, I saw something that really piqued my interest: blue-chip stocks.

Aside from routinely landing among the top spots in thePiper Sandlerteen survey, Starbucks remains a go-to “third place” for consumers of all ages.The company may be out of its strong growth days, but Starbucks still generates impressive cash flow and growth. With that in mind, analysts expectabout 13% revenue growth this year, then a steady 8% to 9% growth ineach of the next three years.On the earnings front, analysts expect roughly 18% earnings growth this year, followed by more than 17% growth next year.Furthermore, the recent dip in the stock has driven Starbucks’ dividend yield up above 2%.While it’s not winning many income investors over at that rate, it’s not bad for those of us with a long-term horizon that isn’t necessarily focused solely on dividend income. However, the company has made this yield a priority.Starbucks has grown its dividend for 11 years now, with afive-year average growth rateof about 15.9%. So, clearly, it’s a focus.Thus, as long as the world is drinking coffee, Starbucks will be a winner.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":229,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9011137708,"gmtCreate":1648826666830,"gmtModify":1676534406325,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy","listText":"buy","text":"buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9011137708","repostId":"2224343469","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":318,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9011137992,"gmtCreate":1648826603077,"gmtModify":1676534406309,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087905668621130","idStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍🏻","listText":"👍🏻","text":"👍🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9011137992","repostId":"2224065398","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2224065398","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Share your news with media, investors, and consumers with targeted distribution options from one of the world’s largest and most trusted newswires.","home_visible":1,"media_name":"GlobeNewswire","id":"1016364462","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31bb960c88eab45f27ccc9fce75dee9a"},"pubTimestamp":1648771359,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2224065398?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-01 08:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Business Essentials Now Available for Small Businesses","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2224065398","media":"GlobeNewswire","summary":"Apple announced that Apple Business Essentials is now available to all small businesses in the US.

In the following sections, I will explain my reasoning for making this move.</p><p><b>You must take profits to make profits</b></p><p>I often quote my father, who was my mentor and an outstanding stockbroker. One of his mantras was &#34;You have to take profits to make profits.&#34; The meaning behind this is the fact it&#39;s all &#34;unrealized&#34; paper gains until you actually sell the security and transfer the proceeds into your checking account and/or into another investment. Further, he was very disciplined regarding when profits should be taken and why. Fortunately, I fell in love with my Tesla position and have held it way longer than my father ever would have, making it one of my most lucrative investments. Nevertheless, I endured several drawdowns over the years. Now, with Musk buying Twitter (TWTR) by pledging an additional $45 billion worth of Tesla shares, I have decided to take profits and sit this one out amongst other reasons. Let me explain.</p><p><b>Musk&#39;s highly leveraged Tesla position increases risk</b></p><p>Elon is buying a majority of Twitter by taking out a $49 billion margin loan against his Tesla shares. He already has pledged a substantial amount of Tesla shares previously, bringing his margin total to $89 billion. Further, Musk is the first lienholder on the Twitter position.

Yet, business is business, and my intuition and research is telling me to make this change.In the following piece, I will expound on why I have decided to take profits on my Tesla position and start a new position in Ford.jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty ImagesWhat Happened?Today, I took profits on my long-term position in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and used a portion of the proceeds to start a position in Ford (NYSE:F). In the following sections, I will explain my reasoning for making this move.You must take profits to make profitsI often quote my father, who was my mentor and an outstanding stockbroker. One of his mantras was \"You have to take profits to make profits.\" The meaning behind this is the fact it's all \"unrealized\" paper gains until you actually sell the security and transfer the proceeds into your checking account and/or into another investment. Further, he was very disciplined regarding when profits should be taken and why. Fortunately, I fell in love with my Tesla position and have held it way longer than my father ever would have, making it one of my most lucrative investments. Nevertheless, I endured several drawdowns over the years. Now, with Musk buying Twitter (TWTR) by pledging an additional $45 billion worth of Tesla shares, I have decided to take profits and sit this one out amongst other reasons. Let me explain.Musk's highly leveraged Tesla position increases riskElon is buying a majority of Twitter by taking out a $49 billion margin loan against his Tesla shares. He already has pledged a substantial amount of Tesla shares previously, bringing his margin total to $89 billion. Further, Musk is the first lienholder on the Twitter position. He is on the hook for essentially the first $33 billion of Twitter, if by some chance they can't pay the bills.Musk has already stated it's not about the money to him, so that doesn't necessarily give me a nice warm fuzzy feeling about the prospects. Further, if for some unforeseen reason Tesla shares fall and Musk gets a margin call, that would be a major debacle. It has happened before. Nearly 10 years ago to the day, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters demoted its founder and chairman, Robert Stiller, and its lead director, William Davis, after the high-flying coffee company's share-price plunged forced the men into emergency stock sales resulting from margin calls. In fact, many companies have banned the practice at this point. Now, this is definitely a \"backburner\" type issue as Musk is constantly receiving new shares and options, yet it is there in the back of my mind. Further, I really don't find the new Cybertruck appealing. I like Ford's F150 Lightning pickup, which leads me to my next point.The competition has finally arrivedThe Ford F150 Lightning is now officially in production.

Would I get back on track? The three names I figured were going to move lower for the week -- <b>MicroStrategy</b>, <b>Hooker Furnishings</b>, and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">Blink Charging</a></b> -- finished down 1%, up 1%, and down 4%, respectively, averaging out to a 1.3% decline.</p><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> declined 2.1% for the week, so while I may have been correct about the stocks to avoid, the market fared worse; I lost. I&#39;ve won in 18 of the past 26 weeks, but my recent skid continues.</p><p>This week, I see <b>Tesla</b>, <b>Sleep Number</b>, and <b>Lucid Group</b> as stocks you may want to consider steering clear of. Let&#39;s go over my near-term concerns.</p><h2>Tesla</h2><p>I happen to personally own two of the three stocks in this week&#39;s column, making this a bittersweet list. Tesla is a name I&#39;ve owned for more than a year, but I think the next-generation automaker isn&#39;t at its best when CEO Elon Musk is distracted. He&#39;s distracted right now.</p><p>Tesla reports its first-quarter financials on Wednesday. Your guess is as good as mine if Musk chose April 20 (4/20, a common reference to cannabis) <i>intentionally</i> as the earnings date; mad wealth can make you juvenile. We already know that car deliveries for the quarter came in slightly below market expectations.</p><p>Demand remains strong for Tesla&#39;s entry-level cars, and high gasoline prices are only helping. However, the stock&#39;s lofty valuation -- at a time when supply-chain constraints are real and cost controls are hard to come by -- means this is a tricky time to own the country&#39;s fifth-most-valuable company by market cap.</p><h2>Sleep Number</h2><p>The other stock I own -- and it&#39;s also reporting fresh financials this week -- is Sleep Number. The company&#39;s product is unique in a world of cookie-cutter mattresses: It makes air-chambered mattresses with adjustable firmness settings. It even has a neat hook with the Sleep Number 360 smart bed it rolled out a couple of years ago, a high-tech air cloud that can adjust firmness settings and even elevation as it senses restlessness.</p><p>Sleep Number sales took off in the early months of the pandemic as homebound folks paid a premium for a good night&#39;s sleep. Sales have slowed lately, and the company&#39;s last quarter was a disaster. Revenue declined 13%, as the late arrival of semiconductor components delayed more than $125 million of net sales. Sleep Number claims sales would&#39;ve been positive without the supply-chain hiccup, and even with the setback, revenue still climbed 18% for all of 2021.</p><p>Sleep Number reports its first-quarter results after Wednesday&#39;s market close. Analysts don&#39;t expect the data to be pretty; they&#39;re bracing for a 7% decline in revenue and an 86% plunge in earnings per share. (Investors might have expected the late arrival of parts in the previous quarter to help <i>boost</i> results this time around.)</p><p>It gets worse: Sleep Number has fallen short of Wall Street profit targets in two of the past three reports. Shares are cheap using most measuring sticks, and I&#39;m a long-term bull on the stock. I just feel there&#39;s a lot for Sleep Number to prove with this week&#39;s report.</p><h2>Lucid Group</h2><p>If I&#39;m going with Tesla on this list, I may as well double down on another electric-vehicle maker that&#39;s well behind Tesla on the growth trajectory. Come on down, Lucid Motors.</p><p>Its flagship model, Lucid Air, turned heads late last year when it was named <i>MotorTrend</i>&#39;s Car of the Year. But will it be able to scale fast enough to justify Lucid&#39;s nearly $35 billion market value? Bulls will argue that growth is about to shift to a higher gear, but Lucid is still at least three years away from turning the corner to profitability. A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.</p><p>Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it&#39;s aiming for a higher-end niche market.

Would I get back on track? The three names I figured were going to move lower for the week -- MicroStrategy, Hooker Furnishings, and Blink Charging -- finished down 1%, up 1%, and down 4%, respectively, averaging out to a 1.3% decline.The S&P 500 declined 2.1% for the week, so while I may have been correct about the stocks to avoid, the market fared worse; I lost. I've won in 18 of the past 26 weeks, but my recent skid continues.This week, I see Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group as stocks you may want to consider steering clear of. Let's go over my near-term concerns.TeslaI happen to personally own two of the three stocks in this week's column, making this a bittersweet list. Tesla is a name I've owned for more than a year, but I think the next-generation automaker isn't at its best when CEO Elon Musk is distracted. He's distracted right now.Tesla reports its first-quarter financials on Wednesday. Your guess is as good as mine if Musk chose April 20 (4/20, a common reference to cannabis) intentionally as the earnings date; mad wealth can make you juvenile. We already know that car deliveries for the quarter came in slightly below market expectations.Demand remains strong for Tesla's entry-level cars, and high gasoline prices are only helping. However, the stock's lofty valuation -- at a time when supply-chain constraints are real and cost controls are hard to come by -- means this is a tricky time to own the country's fifth-most-valuable company by market cap.Sleep NumberThe other stock I own -- and it's also reporting fresh financials this week -- is Sleep Number. The company's product is unique in a world of cookie-cutter mattresses: It makes air-chambered mattresses with adjustable firmness settings. It even has a neat hook with the Sleep Number 360 smart bed it rolled out a couple of years ago, a high-tech air cloud that can adjust firmness settings and even elevation as it senses restlessness.Sleep Number sales took off in the early months of the pandemic as homebound folks paid a premium for a good night's sleep. Sales have slowed lately, and the company's last quarter was a disaster. Revenue declined 13%, as the late arrival of semiconductor components delayed more than $125 million of net sales. Sleep Number claims sales would've been positive without the supply-chain hiccup, and even with the setback, revenue still climbed 18% for all of 2021.Sleep Number reports its first-quarter results after Wednesday's market close. Analysts don't expect the data to be pretty; they're bracing for a 7% decline in revenue and an 86% plunge in earnings per share. (Investors might have expected the late arrival of parts in the previous quarter to help boost results this time around.)It gets worse: Sleep Number has fallen short of Wall Street profit targets in two of the past three reports. Shares are cheap using most measuring sticks, and I'm a long-term bull on the stock. I just feel there's a lot for Sleep Number to prove with this week's report.Lucid GroupIf I'm going with Tesla on this list, I may as well double down on another electric-vehicle maker that's well behind Tesla on the growth trajectory. Come on down, Lucid Motors.Its flagship model, Lucid Air, turned heads late last year when it was named MotorTrend's Car of the Year. But will it be able to scale fast enough to justify Lucid's nearly $35 billion market value? Bulls will argue that growth is about to shift to a higher gear, but Lucid is still at least three years away from turning the corner to profitability. A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it's aiming for a higher-end niche market. It also hasn't increased its starting price since announcing the cost of its base model six months ago, suggesting it may not have the pricing elasticity of other automakers that have bumped prices higher over that time. If Tesla offers a foggy outlook, investors will likely take a step back from other electric-car stocks.It's going to be a bumpy road for some of these investments. If you're looking for safe stocks, you aren't likely to find them in Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group this week.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9029900111,"gmtCreate":1652709835633,"gmtModify":1676535146060,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy 🍎","listText":"buy 🍎","text":"buy 🍎","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9029900111","repostId":"2235798704","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":364,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9011137708,"gmtCreate":1648826666830,"gmtModify":1676534406325,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy","listText":"buy","text":"buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9011137708","repostId":"2224343469","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2224343469","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1648815715,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2224343469?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-01 20:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Buy Tesla Now or Wait Until After the Stock Split?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2224343469","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This latest announcement by the electric vehicle pioneer has investors taking a fresh look.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Tesla</b> is one of the most highly publicized and widely followed companies on Wall Street.

Just as long as you buy it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":318,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9013063733,"gmtCreate":1648654031205,"gmtModify":1676534372591,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good&nbsp;[Miser]&nbsp;","listText":"good&nbsp;[Miser]&nbsp;","text":"good [Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9013063733","repostId":"1119843668","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119843668","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1648646522,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119843668?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-30 21:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock: One Good Day Away From $3 Trillion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119843668","media":"TheStreet","summary":"After struggling through nearly all of 2022, Apple stock is suddenly within striking distance of the","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>After struggling through nearly all of 2022, Apple stock is suddenly within striking distance of the $3 trillion market cap.

More importantly, this is much higher than predictions of  8.3%.

That’s what we’re seeing now — a broad-based reevaluation of the market.Additionally, recent reports indicating several tech companies are slowing hiring isn’t helping the view that growth will proliferate from here. Reduced hiring could indicate less demand on the horizon. Indeed, corporate America tends to know a thing or two about how to size its businesses.Overall, these macro factors are likely to be hard to overcome.

At least, that’s what the market is pricing in today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9060237919,"gmtCreate":1651153239730,"gmtModify":1676534859589,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Facepalm]&nbsp;","listText":"[Facepalm]&nbsp;","text":"[Facepalm]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9060237919","repostId":"1188662887","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188662887","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1651113201,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188662887?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-28 10:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Musk Tweets He’ll Buy Coca-Cola Next","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188662887","media":"TheStreet","summary":"Elon Musk's addiction to continuous attention shows no signs of slowing down.The $Tesla(TSLA)$ CEO and the world’s richest man sent out another headline-grabbing tweet late Wednesday.Earlier this week","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Elon Musk&#39;s addiction to continuous attention shows no signs of slowing down.</p><p>The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a> CEO and the world’s richest man sent out another headline-grabbing tweet late Wednesday.</p><p>Earlier this week, Musk won an agreement from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter’s </a> board for him to buy the social media company for $44 billion.

And now, we’re going to go one-by-one through them to see why.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a86b7974b7e75ab9d177dd5490282aac\" tg-width=\"1114\" tg-height=\"454\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NKE\">Nike</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96309d402167ac02d02467153492335a\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: TY Lim / Shutterstock.com</p><p>One of the largest apparel companies in the world is<b>Nike</b>(NYSE:<b>NKE</b>). It operates a wonderful blend between being a wholesale apparel maker and a high-end athletic retailer. By running its own locations, as well as selling to other retailers, Nike diversifies its revenue and is able to drive incremental margin growth to its bottom line.</p><p>In a nutshell, it can drive sales at its own locations, while relying on the size of other retailers to generate revenue. But Nike’s real crown jewel is its direct-to-consumer (DTC) business.</p><p>Referred to by the company as its DTC unit, this business is what allows Nike to drive significant margin expansion. It’s also what allowed the company to recover more quickly than most apparel makers and apparel retailers in the early days of the novel coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>With its DTC business, Nike can sell right to its customers. In turn, that allows it to build better analytics and improve its target marketing. It also allows it to cut out the middleman. Last quarter,overall revenue increased 4.9%year-over-year (YOY). However, its DTC business climbed 17% on a currency-neutral basis. So, clearly, that’s where the momentum is at.</p><p>Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47861f1381d07e74ccba8ded13159044\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: rvlsoft / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) is one of the best companies in the entire market, and there are three simple reasons why: Assets, growth and its balance sheet. Let’s go in that order.</p><p>The company commands a market capitalization of about $1.9 trillion, so of course, it has many assets. However, its main assets are Google.com and YouTube.com. Not only are these the two most popular websites in the world — akin to owning Boardwalk and Park Place in the game<i>Monopoly</i> — but they also boast strong growth.</p><p>That leads us to our second point. In combination with its cloud unit and other divisions, Alphabet continues to churn out impressive growth. Last quarter, revenue climbedmore than 32% YOY. This year, analysts expectsales growth of 16.7%. And for 2023, those estimates sit at 15.6%. Meanwhile, earnings growth forecasts are similar.</p><p>When it comes to free cash flow, Alphabet generated $67<i>billion</i>inFCF last year. That was up more than 55% from the prior year, while this figure grew more than 35% in each of the prior two years as well.</p><p>All of this growth is doing just one thing, which is growing the balance sheet. As of its latest quarter, Alphabet has $188 billion in current assets, almost $140 billion of which are in cash and short-term securities. The company also carries $14.8 billion in long-term debt, or a quarter of that when we exclude capitalized leases.</p><p>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/364a2cb8d2afac18372e4783b1019bd1\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: WeDesing / Shutterstock.com</p><p>I refer to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a> as having one of the best business models in the world. It runs the razor/razor blade model, but at an incredible premium.</p><p>The razor/razor blade model is premised on the idea of getting the razor into customer’s hands — even if that means giving it away at cost (or less) — so that they will continue to buy razors from you, which is the real money maker.</p><p>Rather than give away its razors though — in this case, that’s iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc. — Apple charges a hefty premium. They mark these devices up in price to the point where they alone generate an enormous business for Apple.</p><p>So, what then is the razor blade portion of the business? Services.</p><p>Last quarter, overall revenue grew 11%, whileServicesrevenuegrew almost 24%YOY. Not only is it outpacing the company’s Products revenue in terms of growth, and overall revenue growth, but Apple’s Services unit is more than twice as profitable as its Products business. And that is the main catalyst that people need to understand.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/806d1eadbf86df2e3594da052318aa3a\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Kikinunchi / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Outside of the tech space, these next two companies have been some of the best performers over the last decade. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">MasterCard</a> run what I like to call a “toll booth” on transactions.</p><p>There’s a secular trend that’s been underway for years, as consumers transition from cash and check to credit and debit. Additionally, the rise of online and digital sales has only fueled this move, as consumers obviously find it easy to shop.</p><p>Specifically, with these two businesses, investors have been quick to critique the valuation by pointing out that Visa stock trades at more than 17 times its trailing 12-month revenue. In the past, this valuation has also been an issue.Even during generous market periods, that’s a rich valuation for many growth stocks.However, in those instances, investors aren’t taking profits into account for the growth stocks, because many don’t have any. And in the case of Visa, it’s incredibly profitable.</p><p>Overall, the company sports gross profit margins of almost 80% and net profit margins of 51.6%. These metrics aren’t back to the pre-pandemic highs just yet, but they are inching in that direction now. Therefore, it makes a great option among the top blue-chip stocks to buy.</p><p>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">MasterCard </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4ceebd503c5e934c82f5af4c8e4a01c\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Alexander Yakimov / Shutterstock.com</p><p>MasterCard is very similar to Visa. Like the latter, MasterCard also tends to trade at a high price-sales (P/S) ratio. While many will glance at this metric and dismiss these stocks, it’s a foolish way to evaluate them. Admittedly the valuations have crept higher, but from this standpoint, they have almost always been elevated. And yet, investors have reaped enormous rewards by staying long Visa and MasterCard.</p><p>In fact, 76% of revenue is converted into gross profit and almost <i>half</i> of revenue falls to the bottom line. In turn, MasterCard boasts a net profit margin of 46%. Of course, like Visa, these margins are not back to pre-pandemic levels; But they do continue to climb.</p><p>Collectively, the major risk to these businesses isn’t digital sales, cryptocurrencies or otherwise. It’s a recession, either globally or domestically. Lower consumer spending will be a big net negative to these stocks specifically since spending is what drives the top and bottom line.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04874462381e4ee3fb7f89da1b0d0b6f\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Hairem / Shutterstock.com</p><p>As one of the greatest companies in the market as well, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a> caters to multiple end-markets that are enjoying long-term secular growth. Some of those end markets include:</p><p>Datacenter, cloud computing, supercomputing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, graphics, gaming, autonomous driving and automotive, drones, robotics, the metaverse and more.</p><p>Moreover, when you look at those markets, it’s pretty clear to see the trends. Do customers want faster computers, better graphics, and more responsive gaming and control (for drones, robotics, autonomous driving)? Do they want faster cloud-based applications and are they generating more data?</p><p>The answers to these questions all point to more demand for Nvidia’s products In turn, it’s the main reason I believe this firm will eventually command a $1 trillion market cap.</p><p>Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBUX\">Starbucks </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb5693448bc0842fb18328a21a9c78ed\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Source: Grand Warszawski / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Last but not least, we have a dominant food- and drinks-based retailer with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBUX\">Starbucks</a>. Aside from routinely landing among the top spots in the<i>Piper Sandler</i>teen survey, Starbucks remains a go-to “third place” for consumers of all ages.</p><p>The company may be out of its strong growth days, but Starbucks still generates impressive cash flow and growth.

But not just blue-chip stocks of that era. Instead, I was after future blue chips; And thus, the Future Blue Chips idea had dawned on me.Since then, I have been hunting tomorrow’s shining stars of today, sniffing out the best stocks I can find with strong fundamentals, solid leadership and reasonable valuations.These are long-term, theme-oriented stocks that are relying on high-quality businesses and secular trends. Years ago — perhaps a decade — I would get people that would reach out to me and say, “Hey! These are already well-known companies. Find something new, would ya!”Well, it’s hard to be a future blue chips stock if the company isn’t already a good one. At the time, it included many of the names you see above, minus Nvidia unfortunately. On the plus side, the rest of these companies have continued to deliver the goods. And now, we’re going to go one-by-one through them to see why.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: NikeSource: TY Lim / Shutterstock.comOne of the largest apparel companies in the world isNike(NYSE:NKE). It operates a wonderful blend between being a wholesale apparel maker and a high-end athletic retailer. By running its own locations, as well as selling to other retailers, Nike diversifies its revenue and is able to drive incremental margin growth to its bottom line.In a nutshell, it can drive sales at its own locations, while relying on the size of other retailers to generate revenue. But Nike’s real crown jewel is its direct-to-consumer (DTC) business.Referred to by the company as its DTC unit, this business is what allows Nike to drive significant margin expansion. It’s also what allowed the company to recover more quickly than most apparel makers and apparel retailers in the early days of the novel coronavirus pandemic.With its DTC business, Nike can sell right to its customers. In turn, that allows it to build better analytics and improve its target marketing. It also allows it to cut out the middleman. Last quarter,overall revenue increased 4.9%year-over-year (YOY). However, its DTC business climbed 17% on a currency-neutral basis. So, clearly, that’s where the momentum is at.Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL)Source: rvlsoft / Shutterstock.comAlphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) is one of the best companies in the entire market, and there are three simple reasons why: Assets, growth and its balance sheet. Let’s go in that order.The company commands a market capitalization of about $1.9 trillion, so of course, it has many assets. However, its main assets are Google.com and YouTube.com. Not only are these the two most popular websites in the world — akin to owning Boardwalk and Park Place in the gameMonopoly — but they also boast strong growth.That leads us to our second point. In combination with its cloud unit and other divisions, Alphabet continues to churn out impressive growth. Last quarter, revenue climbedmore than 32% YOY. This year, analysts expectsales growth of 16.7%. And for 2023, those estimates sit at 15.6%. Meanwhile, earnings growth forecasts are similar.When it comes to free cash flow, Alphabet generated $67billioninFCF last year. That was up more than 55% from the prior year, while this figure grew more than 35% in each of the prior two years as well.All of this growth is doing just one thing, which is growing the balance sheet. As of its latest quarter, Alphabet has $188 billion in current assets, almost $140 billion of which are in cash and short-term securities. The company also carries $14.8 billion in long-term debt, or a quarter of that when we exclude capitalized leases.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: Apple Source: WeDesing / Shutterstock.comI refer to Apple  as having one of the best business models in the world. It runs the razor/razor blade model, but at an incredible premium.The razor/razor blade model is premised on the idea of getting the razor into customer’s hands — even if that means giving it away at cost (or less) — so that they will continue to buy razors from you, which is the real money maker.Rather than give away its razors though — in this case, that’s iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc. — Apple charges a hefty premium. They mark these devices up in price to the point where they alone generate an enormous business for Apple.So, what then is the razor blade portion of the business? Services.Last quarter, overall revenue grew 11%, whileServicesrevenuegrew almost 24%YOY. Not only is it outpacing the company’s Products revenue in terms of growth, and overall revenue growth, but Apple’s Services unit is more than twice as profitable as its Products business. And that is the main catalyst that people need to understand.Visa Source: Kikinunchi / Shutterstock.comOutside of the tech space, these next two companies have been some of the best performers over the last decade. Visa and MasterCard run what I like to call a “toll booth” on transactions.There’s a secular trend that’s been underway for years, as consumers transition from cash and check to credit and debit. Additionally, the rise of online and digital sales has only fueled this move, as consumers obviously find it easy to shop.Specifically, with these two businesses, investors have been quick to critique the valuation by pointing out that Visa stock trades at more than 17 times its trailing 12-month revenue. In the past, this valuation has also been an issue.Even during generous market periods, that’s a rich valuation for many growth stocks.However, in those instances, investors aren’t taking profits into account for the growth stocks, because many don’t have any. And in the case of Visa, it’s incredibly profitable.Overall, the company sports gross profit margins of almost 80% and net profit margins of 51.6%. These metrics aren’t back to the pre-pandemic highs just yet, but they are inching in that direction now. Therefore, it makes a great option among the top blue-chip stocks to buy.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: MasterCard Source: Alexander Yakimov / Shutterstock.comMasterCard is very similar to Visa. Like the latter, MasterCard also tends to trade at a high price-sales (P/S) ratio. While many will glance at this metric and dismiss these stocks, it’s a foolish way to evaluate them. Admittedly the valuations have crept higher, but from this standpoint, they have almost always been elevated. And yet, investors have reaped enormous rewards by staying long Visa and MasterCard.In fact, 76% of revenue is converted into gross profit and almost half of revenue falls to the bottom line. In turn, MasterCard boasts a net profit margin of 46%. Of course, like Visa, these margins are not back to pre-pandemic levels; But they do continue to climb.Collectively, the major risk to these businesses isn’t digital sales, cryptocurrencies or otherwise. It’s a recession, either globally or domestically. Lower consumer spending will be a big net negative to these stocks specifically since spending is what drives the top and bottom line.NvidiaSource: Hairem / Shutterstock.comAs one of the greatest companies in the market as well, Nvidia caters to multiple end-markets that are enjoying long-term secular growth. Some of those end markets include:Datacenter, cloud computing, supercomputing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, graphics, gaming, autonomous driving and automotive, drones, robotics, the metaverse and more.Moreover, when you look at those markets, it’s pretty clear to see the trends. Do customers want faster computers, better graphics, and more responsive gaming and control (for drones, robotics, autonomous driving)? Do they want faster cloud-based applications and are they generating more data?The answers to these questions all point to more demand for Nvidia’s products In turn, it’s the main reason I believe this firm will eventually command a $1 trillion market cap.Blue-Chip Stocks to Buy: Starbucks Source: Grand Warszawski / Shutterstock.comLast but not least, we have a dominant food- and drinks-based retailer with Starbucks. Aside from routinely landing among the top spots in thePiper Sandlerteen survey, Starbucks remains a go-to “third place” for consumers of all ages.The company may be out of its strong growth days, but Starbucks still generates impressive cash flow and growth. With that in mind, analysts expectabout 13% revenue growth this year, then a steady 8% to 9% growth ineach of the next three years.On the earnings front, analysts expect roughly 18% earnings growth this year, followed by more than 17% growth next year.Furthermore, the recent dip in the stock has driven Starbucks’ dividend yield up above 2%.While it’s not winning many income investors over at that rate, it’s not bad for those of us with a long-term horizon that isn’t necessarily focused solely on dividend income. However, the company has made this yield a priority.Starbucks has grown its dividend for 11 years now, with afive-year average growth rateof about 15.9%. So, clearly, it’s a focus.Thus, as long as the world is drinking coffee, Starbucks will be a winner.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":229,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9025603549,"gmtCreate":1653665745381,"gmtModify":1676535323975,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9025603549","repostId":"1144257582","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":423,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9021761987,"gmtCreate":1653103457150,"gmtModify":1676535225272,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"buy","listText":"buy","text":"buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9021761987","repostId":"2236015712","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2236015712","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1653088476,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2236015712?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-21 07:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buy Apple Stock for Resiliency During the Tech Sell-Off","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2236015712","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Here's why Apple is a golden investment amid the ongoing tech sell-off.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market has been a circus show in recent history, due to record-high inflation levels, the Fed&#39;s decision to raise interest rates in response, and lingering concerns in connection to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

In the second quarter of 2022, the tech leader increased both total sales and earnings per share by 9% year over year, up to $97.3 billion and $1.52, respectively.

Not only does its world-class core business offer stability on top of its persistent growth, but the company&#39;s services segment enjoys a long runway for expansion in the years ahead.</p><p>Fortunately for Apple and its shareholders, the company&#39;s elite balance sheet and cash generation will comfortably facilitate growth for the tech giant in the future. The company has $28.1 billion in cash on its balance sheet, and it continues to generate funds at a red-hot pace. In the past 12 months, Apple has produced $105.8 billion in free cash flow (FCF), and its three-year FCF compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 13%. The company&#39;s robust balance sheet and consistent cash generation provide financial flexibility to increase its dividends, buy back shares, and grow its business in the years to follow.</p><h2>A normalized valuation</h2><p>The recent stock price pullback year to date has made Apple stock a very tempting buy.

The stock is also trading at its lowest valuation since mid-2020, supplying investors with a favorable margin of safety.

Not only does its world-class core business offer stability on top of its persistent growth, but the company's services segment enjoys a long runway for expansion in the years ahead.Fortunately for Apple and its shareholders, the company's elite balance sheet and cash generation will comfortably facilitate growth for the tech giant in the future. The company has $28.1 billion in cash on its balance sheet, and it continues to generate funds at a red-hot pace. In the past 12 months, Apple has produced $105.8 billion in free cash flow (FCF), and its three-year FCF compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 13%. The company's robust balance sheet and consistent cash generation provide financial flexibility to increase its dividends, buy back shares, and grow its business in the years to follow.A normalized valuationThe recent stock price pullback year to date has made Apple stock a very tempting buy. The stock carries a price-to-earnings multiple of 24 today, representing its lowest trading level since the early summer of 2020.AAPL PE Ratio data by YChartsThe tech company's current earnings multiple is also largely in line with its five-year historical average of 23. But given that Apple has been able to maintain solid growth in recent quarters -- especially compared to the rest of big tech -- investors should be thrilled about buying the stock at existing levels.Apple is a good play on the turbulent stock market todayApple is a wise investment today -- the world-leading technology company continues to expand its business at a steady rate in an economy where many of its peers are suffering from growing pains. The stock is also trading at its lowest valuation since mid-2020, supplying investors with a favorable margin of safety. If you're searching for a durable stock to combat the market's volatility today, Apple might be the choice for you.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":680,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067494865,"gmtCreate":1652494491457,"gmtModify":1676535111672,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9067494865","repostId":"2235613061","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":788,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9061551471,"gmtCreate":1651651397639,"gmtModify":1676534942465,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good

SVB Leerink analysts have estimated that the RSV vaccine market could reach at least $10 billion in global revenue. Pfizer this month agreed to acquire ReViral Ltd., which is developing treatments for RSV.</p><p>Each year RSV infections result in about 58,000 hospitalizations of children under 5 years old and 177,000 hospitalizations of adults 65 and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While most children survive, RSV kills up to 500 children in the U.S. each year and about 14,000 older adults each year—a toll that approaches that of influenza.</p><p>In the elderly, “If a person has chronic lung disease or if they’ve had a heart attack or some underlying condition, they are at increased risk of dying from an RSV infection,” said H. Cody Meissner, chief of the division of pediatric infectious disease at Tufts University School of Medicine.</p><p>As with the flu, RSV season typically runs from late fall to spring. The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted that pattern, as distancing and masking suppressed RSV in the normal 2020-21 season. But cases jumped abnormally last summer as people took fewer precautions.</p><p>In the absence of a vaccine, certain infants at high risk of serious RSV disease, such as premature babies, have been given a preventive drug called Synagis since the late 1990s. While it has been shown to reduce the risk of RSV-related hospitalizations, doctors say it is expensive and must be administered frequently during RSV season.</p><p>In the 1960s, an experimental RSV vaccine made some infants and toddlers more susceptible to severe disease after they were exposed to the illness, including two who died. Researchers cited the design of the vaccine, which used a killed version of the virus and triggered a type of immune response that can enhance disease rather than preventing it.</p><p>The newer vaccines have designs different from the one that failed in the 1960s, helped by a research breakthrough a decade ago at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ vaccine-research center.</p><p>The government scientists homed in on a shape-shifting protein—the fusion, or F, protein—found on the RSV’s surface that helps the virus attach to and enter human cells to replicate. They found that a vaccine containing the F protein—engineered to stay locked in a “prefusion” structure—could induce immune-system antibodies against the virus in animal testing, said Peter Kwong, chief of structural biology at NIAID’s vaccine-research center.</p><p>“The major breakthrough has been a better understanding of the actual structure of the F protein,” said Dr. Kathryn Edwards, scientific director of Vanderbilt University’s vaccine-research program.</p><p>The advance paved the way for vaccine companies to develop shots that contain some version of the protein and to test them in people.</p><p>To mitigate safety risks in infants, most companies have opted for an indirect route of immunization: vaccinating pregnant women in hopes they would pass antibodies to their unborn babies, which could then protect infants for several months after birth.</p><p>Pfizer’s experimental, protein-based RSV vaccine, known as RSVpreF, generated what the company said were promising results in a midstage study of pregnant women in 2020.</p><p>The drugmaker is now running a large study of up to 10,000 pregnant women and expects initial results by the end of June. Researchers are tracking whether children born to vaccinated mothers show reduced rates of lower-respiratory infections than those born to mothers who get a placebo in the study.</p><p>Pfizer expects that every pregnant woman would routinely receive the vaccine, similar to how the Tdap vaccine is recommended during pregnancy to protect newborns from pertussis, or whooping cough, said Bill Gruber, senior vice president of vaccine clinical research and development at the company.</p><p>Safety concerns still loom over the efforts. GlaxoSmithKline in February stopped enrollment in a large study of its vaccine in pregnant women, citing an unspecified safety signal from the trial.</p><p>GlaxoSmithKline is investigating that issue, said Roger Connor, president of the company’s vaccine unit. He declined to describe the nature of the issue.</p><p>The study pause doesn’t affect a separate trial of a GlaxoSmithKline RSV vaccine in older adults, which is continuing, Mr. Connor said. The company expects results for that study, in people 60 and older, by midyear.</p><p>J&amp;J’s RSV vaccine was 80% effective in protecting against lower-respiratory disease caused by RSV in a midstage study of adults 65 and older. The company is testing the vaccine in a larger, late-stage study and expects to have results later this year.</p><p>J&amp;J also is exploring the use of an RSV vaccine to protect children but hasn’t brought one into large-scale testing, said Penny Heaton, global therapeutic area head of vaccines at J&amp;J’s Janssen R&amp;D unit.</p><p>Moderna is developing an RSV vaccine that, unlike some of the others, doesn’t contain the F protein from RSV. Instead, similar to the design of its Covid-19 vaccine, Moderna’s RSV shot contains the genetic material messenger RNA, which is coded to instruct human cells to make the F protein, in turn inducing an immune response.</p><p>Moderna is also exploring a vaccine that could target RSV and the flu and provide a Covid-19 booster in a single injection.</p></body></html>","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>Pfizer, Moderna, J&J See Respiratory Virus RSV as Next Vaccine Target</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\">\nPfizer, Moderna, J&J See Respiratory Virus RSV as Next Vaccine Target\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-15 23:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.wsj.com/articles/pfizer-moderna-j-j-see-respiratory-virus-rsv-as-next-vaccine-target-11650015001?mod=hp_lead_pos4><strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>After Covid-19, vaccine makers’ next big target is a respiratory virus that kills up to 500 children a year nationwide and has been among the leading causes of U.S. hospitalizations for decades.The ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/pfizer-moderna-j-j-see-respiratory-virus-rsv-as-next-vaccine-target-11650015001?mod=hp_lead_pos4\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4532":"文艺复兴科技持仓","SNY":"赛诺菲安万特","BK4114":"综合货品商店","BK4568":"美国抗疫概念","BK4533":"AQR资本管理(全球第二大对冲基金)","PFE":"辉瑞","BK4534":"瑞士信贷持仓","JNJ":"强生","BK4550":"红杉资本持仓","TGT":"塔吉特","BK4504":"桥水持仓","MRNA":"Moderna, Inc.","BK4007":"制药"},"source_url":"https://www.wsj.com/articles/pfizer-moderna-j-j-see-respiratory-virus-rsv-as-next-vaccine-target-11650015001?mod=hp_lead_pos4","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1144259888","content_text":"After Covid-19, vaccine makers’ next big target is a respiratory virus that kills up to 500 children a year nationwide and has been among the leading causes of U.S. hospitalizations for decades.The respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, infects nearly everyone at some point, causing mild, cold-like symptoms for most people.

They found that a vaccine containing the F protein—engineered to stay locked in a “prefusion” structure—could induce immune-system antibodies against the virus in animal testing, said Peter Kwong, chief of structural biology at NIAID’s vaccine-research center.“The major breakthrough has been a better understanding of the actual structure of the F protein,” said Dr. Kathryn Edwards, scientific director of Vanderbilt University’s vaccine-research program.The advance paved the way for vaccine companies to develop shots that contain some version of the protein and to test them in people.To mitigate safety risks in infants, most companies have opted for an indirect route of immunization: vaccinating pregnant women in hopes they would pass antibodies to their unborn babies, which could then protect infants for several months after birth.Pfizer’s experimental, protein-based RSV vaccine, known as RSVpreF, generated what the company said were promising results in a midstage study of pregnant women in 2020.The drugmaker is now running a large study of up to 10,000 pregnant women and expects initial results by the end of June. Researchers are tracking whether children born to vaccinated mothers show reduced rates of lower-respiratory infections than those born to mothers who get a placebo in the study.Pfizer expects that every pregnant woman would routinely receive the vaccine, similar to how the Tdap vaccine is recommended during pregnancy to protect newborns from pertussis, or whooping cough, said Bill Gruber, senior vice president of vaccine clinical research and development at the company.Safety concerns still loom over the efforts. GlaxoSmithKline in February stopped enrollment in a large study of its vaccine in pregnant women, citing an unspecified safety signal from the trial.GlaxoSmithKline is investigating that issue, said Roger Connor, president of the company’s vaccine unit. He declined to describe the nature of the issue.The study pause doesn’t affect a separate trial of a GlaxoSmithKline RSV vaccine in older adults, which is continuing, Mr. Connor said. The company expects results for that study, in people 60 and older, by midyear.J&J’s RSV vaccine was 80% effective in protecting against lower-respiratory disease caused by RSV in a midstage study of adults 65 and older. The company is testing the vaccine in a larger, late-stage study and expects to have results later this year.J&J also is exploring the use of an RSV vaccine to protect children but hasn’t brought one into large-scale testing, said Penny Heaton, global therapeutic area head of vaccines at J&J’s Janssen R&D unit.Moderna is developing an RSV vaccine that, unlike some of the others, doesn’t contain the F protein from RSV. Instead, similar to the design of its Covid-19 vaccine, Moderna’s RSV shot contains the genetic material messenger RNA, which is coded to instruct human cells to make the F protein, in turn inducing an immune response.Moderna is also exploring a vaccine that could target RSV and the flu and provide a Covid-19 booster in a single injection.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9011137992,"gmtCreate":1648826603077,"gmtModify":1676534406309,"author":{"id":"4087905668621130","authorId":"4087905668621130","name":"akerue","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dcf182105ccb09d6bb90ea3f69333b6e","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087905668621130","authorIdStr":"4087905668621130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍🏻","listText":"👍🏻","text":"👍🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9011137992","repostId":"2224065398","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
