That is a gain from the prior quarter, when Apple logged sales of $14.6 billion.Apple said it now has 900 million paying subscribers to its services, up from the previous quarter's 860 million.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":403,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074152509,"gmtCreate":1658323206902,"gmtModify":1676536140505,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/JKS\">$JinkoSolar(JKS)$</a>waiting for dips togo in&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/JKS\">$JinkoSolar(JKS)$</a>waiting for dips togo in&nbsp;","text":"$JinkoSolar(JKS)$waiting for dips togo in","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/bbaf84a9d3e24f5d7a60f6e4ab047bc8","width":"960","height":"3795"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074152509","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074152006,"gmtCreate":1658323147405,"gmtModify":1676536140505,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>↖️","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>↖️","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$↖️","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9030f0e833f0e6ce4130340a44d2cfd7","width":"960","height":"1839"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074152006","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":335,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074156470,"gmtCreate":1658323134893,"gmtModify":1676536140489,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/VOO\">$Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF(VOO)$</a>🤷‍♀️","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/VOO\">$Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF(VOO)$</a>🤷‍♀️","text":"$Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$🤷‍♀️","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b0ff9780c8fdc493892ac3c367b5556f","width":"960","height":"1839"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074156470","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":231,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074151724,"gmtCreate":1658322975168,"gmtModify":1676536140449,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Recession very soon?

Turning to the conglomerate’s movie business, the poor reception that its recent<i>Lightyear</i>flickreceivedcould hurt the sales of its new movies for at least the next year or two.</p><p>Finally, the likely recession in Europe and lockdowns in China will undermine the attendance at its parks in those regions.</p><p>Put it all together, and DIS stock, which has tumbled 37% so far this year, probably has much further to fall.</p><p><b>Target (TGT)</b></p><p><b>Target’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TGT</u></b>) sweet spot, in terms of customers, is upper working-class and lower middle class consumers who enjoy shopping at stores, buying discretionary products, see discounts and want better service and quality than <b>Walmart</b> (NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) and the dollar stores offer.</p><p>Unfortunately for Target and TGT stock, those are exactly the consumers who are most likely to sharply reduce their discretionary spending in the current environment. Also hurting Target is the company’s failure to anticipate the “goods-to-experiences” shift. That oversight caused the company’s inventories to hit sky-high levels.</p><p>As a result of that situation, the retailer will likely have to take large write downs and undermine its margins with large discounts.</p><p>Add that to the sharp spending cuts by the company’s core customers  — a trend that’s likely to continue for some time — and Target’s outlook is quite poor in the near term and medium term.</p><p><b>Williams-Sonoma (WSM)</b></p><p>With existing home sales and building permits already sinking meaningfully, the demand for <b>Williams-Sonoma’s</b> (NYSE:<b><u>WSM</u></b>) home products, including outdoor and indoor furniture, is likely to decline further going forward. And as the Fed’s interest-rate hikes continue, the drop in the demand for housing and William-Sonoma’s offerings are likely to sink further.</p><p>On June 16, Morgan Stanley identified the company as one of the “most challenged retailers,” along with <b>RH</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RH</u></b>), which recently cut its full-year guidance.</p><p>“High ticket durables, which were arguably overconsumed during COVID, face the most significant reversionary risk, and we view Williams-Sonoma (WSM) and RH (RH) as the most at risk on this front,” Morgan Stanley warned.</p><p>In accordance with my view, Morgan Stanley believes that Williams-Sonoma will probably be hurt by reduced demand for goods by consumers.</p><p><b>Toll Brothers (TOL)</b></p><p>Last month, Wells Fargo warned that,“Given the unprecedented rise in interest rates YTD, housing market softness is hitting faster than many anticipated.”</p><p>As a result, the firm cut its rating on <b>Toll Brothers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TOL</u></b>) to “equal weight” from “overweight.” Supporting Wells Fargo’s caution on homebuilders, <i>Seeking Alpha</i> noted that “[h]ousing starts, building permits … [slid]more than expected in May.”</p><p>Indeed, U.S. housing starts plunged 14.4% in May, compared with April, while building permits dropped 7% month-over-month. Meanwhile, <b>Redfin</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>RDFN</u></b>) reported that in May, the number of home closings tumbled 8.5% versus the same period a year earlier.</p><p>While TOL stock technically trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of just 4.3x, there’s a very good chance that analysts’ average 2023 earnings-per-share estimate, upon which the ratio is based, is actually way too high.</p><p>That’s because, if the company reaches the mean 2022 EPS estimate of $10.23 and the average 2023 EPS estimate of $11.27, its EPS will have increased by roughly 10% in 2023. In light of the Fed rate hikes and the slowing of the housing market, that scenario is extremely unlikely to materialize.</p><p><b>Apple (AAPL)</b></p><p>Taken together, iPhones and Macsaccounted for 73%of <b>Apple’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) revenue in its quarter that ended in March. With many consumers shifting more of their budgets to experiences and transportation, there will be much less money left for purchasing new cell phones and PCs. Moreover, many consumers bought new smartphones and PCs during the pandemic, when they were focused on surfing the internet and working from home. Those individuals will not be in the market for new hardware anytime soon.</p><p>As evidence of the lack of strong demand for iPhones, consider that on May 26, <i>Reuters</i>, citing <i>Bloomberg,</i> reported that “Apple Inc … plans to keep iPhone production for 2022 roughly flat at about 220 million units.” Supply issues, along with “cooling demand,” were cited as the key reasons for Apple’s decision.</p><p>On the PC front, Gartner stated on June 30 that “Consumer PC demand is on pace to decline 13.1% in 2022 and will plummet much faster than business PC demand, which is expected to decline 7.2% year over year.”</p><p>Despite its 18% slide this year, AAPL stock is still trading at a forwardP/E ratio of 23x and a trailing price-sales ratio of 6.4x. Those are fairly high multiples for a company whose sales and operating-profits are unlikely to grow much, if at all, this year.</p><p><b>Dell Technologies (DELL)</b></p><p>Obviously, <b>Dell Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DELL</u></b>), which focuses on making PCs, is going to take a sizeable hit from the drop of PC sales forecast by Gartner.</p><p>Also worth noting is that, on July 5, research firm <b>Evercore</b> cut its rating on another PC developer, <b>HP</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HPQ</u></b>), to “in-line” from “outperform.” The firm now expects annual PC sales to sink to 300 million, versus its previous outlook of 325 million to 330 million. Evercore thinks that an easing of supply challenges going forward will be negative for PC makers. The firm cut its price target on HPQ stock to $36 from $43.</p><p>Another company calling out a weaker outlook for PCsrecently was chip maker <b>Micron</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MU</u></b>). The firm issued a negative assessment of the space recently, citing the weakness of PCs and smartphones. Put all of these elements together and investors should expect Dell to experience weakness moving forward as well.</p><p><b>Comcast (CMCSA)</b></p><p>Not surprisingly, streaming’s market share hit a record level in May, according to Nielsen. Meanwhile, cable’s share stumbled a little from 36.8% in April to 36.5% in May. That trend should continue and intensify as consumers spend more money on experiences and transportation and less money on home entertainment.</p><p>There are two other trends that should also negatively affect <b>Comcast</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CMCSA</u></b>) and CMCSA stock. First, with the work-from-home trend proving to be stickier than many believed and some businesses looking to save money, many offices could be closed, cutting into the company’s vital revenue and profits from its internet service provider business.</p><p>Secondly, <b>Snap’s</b> (NYSE:<b><u>SNAP</u></b>) weak results indicate that some businesses are cutting the amount they spend on brand-recognition advertising. As a result, Comcast’s TV ad revenue could take significant hits in the coming quarter.</p><p>Notably, the company’s shares have dropped about 10% since June 8, and I believe that analysts’ average EPS estimates, which call for significant increases this year and next year, are likely to drop sharply.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Those are fairly high multiples for a company whose sales and operating-profits are unlikely to grow much, if at all, this year.Dell Technologies (DELL)Obviously, Dell Technologies(NYSE:DELL), which focuses on making PCs, is going to take a sizeable hit from the drop of PC sales forecast by Gartner.Also worth noting is that, on July 5, research firm Evercore cut its rating on another PC developer, HP(NYSE:HPQ), to “in-line” from “outperform.” The firm now expects annual PC sales to sink to 300 million, versus its previous outlook of 325 million to 330 million. Evercore thinks that an easing of supply challenges going forward will be negative for PC makers. The firm cut its price target on HPQ stock to $36 from $43.Another company calling out a weaker outlook for PCsrecently was chip maker Micron(NASDAQ:MU). The firm issued a negative assessment of the space recently, citing the weakness of PCs and smartphones. Put all of these elements together and investors should expect Dell to experience weakness moving forward as well.Comcast (CMCSA)Not surprisingly, streaming’s market share hit a record level in May, according to Nielsen. Meanwhile, cable’s share stumbled a little from 36.8% in April to 36.5% in May. That trend should continue and intensify as consumers spend more money on experiences and transportation and less money on home entertainment.There are two other trends that should also negatively affect Comcast(NASDAQ:CMCSA) and CMCSA stock. First, with the work-from-home trend proving to be stickier than many believed and some businesses looking to save money, many offices could be closed, cutting into the company’s vital revenue and profits from its internet service provider business.Secondly, Snap’s (NYSE:SNAP) weak results indicate that some businesses are cutting the amount they spend on brand-recognition advertising. As a result, Comcast’s TV ad revenue could take significant hits in the coming quarter.Notably, the company’s shares have dropped about 10% since June 8, and I believe that analysts’ average EPS estimates, which call for significant increases this year and next year, are likely to drop sharply.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074151429,"gmtCreate":1658322884561,"gmtModify":1676536140449,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Slowing down on 🍎?&nbsp;","listText":"Slowing down on 🍎?&nbsp;","text":"Slowing down on 🍎?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074151429","repostId":"1174897666","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174897666","pubTimestamp":1658283668,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174897666?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-20 10:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AAPL Stock Alert: Apple Rocks Tech Stocks With Hiring Warning","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174897666","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Recent reports claim Apple(AAPL) is slowing down its hiring and spending through 2023.AAPL stock joi","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Recent reports claim <b>Apple</b>(<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) is slowing down its hiring and spending through 2023.</li><li>AAPL stock joins an array of tech companies tightening operations in anticipation of an impending recession.</li><li>Apple also recently filed a settlement for a lawsuit over a series of keyboard failures for some of its MacBook laptops.</li></ul><p><b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) stock is on the rise today despite reports the tech giant plans to tighten up its hiring and spending next year.

Intel still leads the PC and data center CPU markets, but its first-party foundries have fallen behind <b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b>, the world&#39;s largest contract chipmaker, in the process race to develop smaller, denser, and more power-efficient chips. As a result, its fabless rival <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (AMD), which outsources its manufacturing to TSMC, now produces more power-efficient chips than Intel.</p><p>Micron isn&#39;t the world&#39;s largest producer of DRAM or NAND chips. That title belongs to the South Korean tech giant<b> Samsung</b>. However, Micron&#39;s 1α (1-alpha) DRAM chips and 176-layer NAND chips for data centers are still the most advanced memory chips in their respective markets.</p><p>Intel also sells NAND memory chips, but it&#39;s in the process of selling that smaller business division to the South Korean chipmaker <b>SK Hynix</b>. That entire sale, which will occur in phases, is expected to close in March 2025. Until that happens, Intel will exclude its NAND business from its non-GAAP (adjusted) revenues and profits.</p><p>Intel and Micron both operate in cyclical markets. However, Intel&#39;s core PC and data center CPU markets are arguably more stable than Micron&#39;s DRAM and NAND markets, which are prone to cyclical shortages, supply gluts, and price swings.</p><h2>Intel faces existential challenges</h2><p>Intel&#39;s non-GAAP revenue increased 8% in 2020, then grew 2% to $74.7 billion in 2021. Its growth decelerated as the PC and data center markets cooled off in a post-lockdown market, and it continued to struggle to hold AMD at bay across the laptop, desktop, and server markets.</p><p>As Intel struggled with those headwinds, its non-GAAP gross margin declined from 60.1% in 2019 to 57.7% in 2021. Its earnings per share (EPS) grew just 9% in 2020 and 7% in 2021.</p><p>Under its former CEO Bob Swan, Intel briefly considered becoming a fabless chipmaker like AMD. Swan&#39;s successor, Pat Gelsinger, swiftly abandoned that idea when he took over in early 2021 and doubled down on the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities to catch up to TSMC instead.</p><p>However, Intel&#39;s capital expenditures target of $27 billion for 2022 is still much lower than TSMC&#39;s estimated capex of about $40 billion this year, so it will likely need to rely heavily on government subsidies -- such as the CHIPS Act in the U.S. -- to close that funding gap. Analysts expect its revenue to stay flat this year and for its earnings to decline 37% as it grapples with those challenges.</p><h2>Micron faces a cyclical slowdown</h2><p>Micron&#39;s revenue surged 29% in fiscal 2021, which ended last September, and rose 24% year over year to $24.1 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. That growth was driven by robust demand for new memory chips across the PC, data center, cloud, auto, and industry 4.0 markets.</p><p>However, Micron expects its revenue to decline 13% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2022 as the PC and smartphone markets cool off. That forecast implies its revenue will only rise about 13% for the full year. For fiscal 2023, analysts expect its revenue to decline 7% to $29.1 billion.</p><p>Micron and its peers are curbing their production to avoid causing a severe supply glut (like the one which sank the market in 2019 and 2020), but it will be tough to avoid a hard landing as the market&#39;s appetite for new chips wanes.</p><p>Micron&#39;s non-GAAP gross margin jumped from 31.3% in fiscal 2020 to 39.7% in fiscal 2021, then expanded to 47.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Its non-GAAP EPS also soared 114% in fiscal 2021, and analysts anticipate another 41% growth in fiscal 2022 as it closes out its current growth cycle. But next year, they&#39;re bracing for a 25% decline as it exhausts its pricing power.</p><p>Micron would also benefit from the passage of the CHIPS Act and other government support measures, but it remains a technological leader and isn&#39;t starved for subsidies like Intel.</p><h2>Both stocks look cheap, but only one is a value play</h2><p>Intel trades at 11 times forward earnings, while Micron has an even lower forward price-to-earnings ratio of 9. Intel pays a forward dividend yield of 3.8%, but it might need to reduce that payout to fund its ambitious manufacturing plans. Micron pays a much lower forward yield of 0.8%.</p><p>Both stocks are cheap -- but Intel&#39;s existential challenges make it a weaker play than Micron, which merely faces a cyclical slowdown. Therefore, I believe Micron remains a much better buy than Intel.</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>Better Semiconductor Stock: Intel vs. Micron</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBetter Semiconductor Stock: Intel vs. Micron\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-20 15:09 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/07/19/better-semiconductor-stock-intel-vs-micron/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Intel and Micron Technology are two of the most important chipmakers in the world.

However, Micron's 1α (1-alpha) DRAM chips and 176-layer NAND chips for data centers are still the most advanced memory chips in their respective markets.Intel also sells NAND memory chips, but it's in the process of selling that smaller business division to the South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix. That entire sale, which will occur in phases, is expected to close in March 2025. Until that happens, Intel will exclude its NAND business from its non-GAAP (adjusted) revenues and profits.Intel and Micron both operate in cyclical markets. However, Intel's core PC and data center CPU markets are arguably more stable than Micron's DRAM and NAND markets, which are prone to cyclical shortages, supply gluts, and price swings.Intel faces existential challengesIntel's non-GAAP revenue increased 8% in 2020, then grew 2% to $74.7 billion in 2021. Its growth decelerated as the PC and data center markets cooled off in a post-lockdown market, and it continued to struggle to hold AMD at bay across the laptop, desktop, and server markets.As Intel struggled with those headwinds, its non-GAAP gross margin declined from 60.1% in 2019 to 57.7% in 2021. Its earnings per share (EPS) grew just 9% in 2020 and 7% in 2021.Under its former CEO Bob Swan, Intel briefly considered becoming a fabless chipmaker like AMD. Swan's successor, Pat Gelsinger, swiftly abandoned that idea when he took over in early 2021 and doubled down on the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities to catch up to TSMC instead.However, Intel's capital expenditures target of $27 billion for 2022 is still much lower than TSMC's estimated capex of about $40 billion this year, so it will likely need to rely heavily on government subsidies -- such as the CHIPS Act in the U.S. -- to close that funding gap. Analysts expect its revenue to stay flat this year and for its earnings to decline 37% as it grapples with those challenges.Micron faces a cyclical slowdownMicron's revenue surged 29% in fiscal 2021, which ended last September, and rose 24% year over year to $24.1 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. That growth was driven by robust demand for new memory chips across the PC, data center, cloud, auto, and industry 4.0 markets.However, Micron expects its revenue to decline 13% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2022 as the PC and smartphone markets cool off. That forecast implies its revenue will only rise about 13% for the full year. For fiscal 2023, analysts expect its revenue to decline 7% to $29.1 billion.Micron and its peers are curbing their production to avoid causing a severe supply glut (like the one which sank the market in 2019 and 2020), but it will be tough to avoid a hard landing as the market's appetite for new chips wanes.Micron's non-GAAP gross margin jumped from 31.3% in fiscal 2020 to 39.7% in fiscal 2021, then expanded to 47.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Its non-GAAP EPS also soared 114% in fiscal 2021, and analysts anticipate another 41% growth in fiscal 2022 as it closes out its current growth cycle. But next year, they're bracing for a 25% decline as it exhausts its pricing power.Micron would also benefit from the passage of the CHIPS Act and other government support measures, but it remains a technological leader and isn't starved for subsidies like Intel.Both stocks look cheap, but only one is a value playIntel trades at 11 times forward earnings, while Micron has an even lower forward price-to-earnings ratio of 9. Intel pays a forward dividend yield of 3.8%, but it might need to reduce that payout to fund its ambitious manufacturing plans. Micron pays a much lower forward yield of 0.8%.Both stocks are cheap -- but Intel's existential challenges make it a weaker play than Micron, which merely faces a cyclical slowdown. Therefore, I believe Micron remains a much better buy than Intel.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":272,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9074153767,"gmtCreate":1658322743559,"gmtModify":1676536140433,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go&nbsp;🍎 !","listText":"Go&nbsp;🍎 !","text":"Go 🍎 !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9074153767","repostId":"1131552255","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1131552255","pubTimestamp":1658318267,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1131552255?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-20 19:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple’s China Shipments Surged in June After Lockdowns Lifted","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1131552255","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Foreign brands accounted for entirety of rebound in demandDomestic phone makers have underwhelmed ex","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Foreign brands accounted for entirety of rebound in demand</li><li>Domestic phone makers have underwhelmed expectations this year</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fc8c0889f31761f07e7bbe3161db902\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Apple iPhonesPhotographer: Feline Lim/Getty Imagesc</span></p><p>Apple Inc.’s iPhone shipments likely surged in June in China, leading a rebound in the smartphone market after Covid lockdowns lifted.</p><p>China’s mobile phone shipments jumped 9.2% last month, led by overseas vendors such as Apple and Samsung Electronics Co. while domestic brands like Xiaomi Corp.,Oppo and Vivo were down 0.5%, official data showed.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) became the most valuable company in the world through creating and dominating the smart phone/mobile microtrend. As the majority of the global community went from zero smart phones to it becoming a necessity in their lives, Apple became the most valuable company in the world. However, like all trends, eventually it reaches the point of saturation. Instead of hypergrowth, we see competitors fight over existing customers on lower cost goods as revenue growth moves into a more consistent yet slower rate of change.</p><p>Apple epitomizes what it means to be both a good value stock and a good tech stock with its strong margins, outsized cash flows, stable balance sheet, and a loyal base of customers supporting the brand.</p><p>Apple has been very consistent with its margins and cash flows. The company&#39;s operating margin of 30.82% and the net profit margin of 25.71% are excellent, while most tech companies are currently struggling with the bottom line. It also has an outstanding free cash flow margin of 26.37%. The company has also been shareholder-friendly since it consistently repurchases shares.</p><p>We have not owned Apple because it is simply not involved in any of the new tech micro trends that will likely give us the next Google (GOOG,GOOGL), Apple, or Amazon (AMZN). However, this does not mean that Apple does not deserve a place within a portfolio.</p><p>Apple is an outsized beneficiary to passive investing. For those that do not want to pick stocks, and instead just own the index, Apple takes up the largest portion of this money. For example, if you don&#39;t want to own tech companies and instead want simply exposure through Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK), 23.47% of that money goes to Apple.</p><p>In regards to the S&amp;P 500, which is the most passively owned index through various mutual funds and ETFs, Apple currently takes up 6.85% of the weighting in the S&amp;P 500, and therefore gets 6.85% of funds going into the S&amp;P 500. This is more than UnitedHealth Group, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A,BRK.B), Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ), Nvidia (NVDA), and Exxon (XOM) combined!</p><p>Because of how its history of share buybacks, healthy Free Cash Flow, and its very large market cap, it remains a darling within institutional funds that are managing billions. In fact, as of June 30th, 16.07 billion shares outstanding are owned by institutions. This means that roughly 98% of all shares outstanding are owned by institutions.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a070616b096f9ca94ef55ab58692ee4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Chart Made by Author</p><p>Even though it is not in the forefront of AI, Machine Learning, Cloud or Big Data, it is uniquely setup to capture an outsized portion of passive investors&#39; funds as well as institutional funds. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine the broad markets making new highs without Apple.</p><p>Technically, Apple has exhibited a level of relative strength in this bounce that is what you want to see in confirming a broad market trend reversal. It has reclaimed the $145 resistance level, which is a key supply zone to take back. Whether it will hold it is the question?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ddb3d2ed0722cc7199520096730319d9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Chart Made by Author</p><p>The fact that Apple has reclaimed the $145 level is a show of strength, regardless of the weakness in the momentum. If the other FAANGs were showing the level of strength APPL is right now by reclaiming key resistance levels, that would be encouraging that a meaningful low is underway. However, we are just not seeing that right now.</p><p><b>Google</b></p><p>We recently wrote about how Google (Alphabet) is our second favorite FAANG. In a cookie-less world due to Apple&#39;s notable change to its IDFA, owners of 1st party data, like Google, are setting themselves up to further dominate. This catalyst, coupled with its positioning within the AI microtrend, is the reason why it reserves a position within our portfolio.</p><p>This also lines up with the technical chart on a long-term basis. Google is the healthiest chart amongst the FAANGs, as it is comfortably above its critical support zone at $1800. As long as any additional weakness is seen here, above this critical support suggests that GOOGL is one of the FAANGs that is likely to make a new high.</p><p>However, over the next month, it appears that Google is tracing a bear flag pattern. This is a common pattern that we see in 4th waves, which suggests we need one more wave to complete the 5 wave pattern in Google&#39;s drawdown.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a4727cac13e692a2e81039e8b36e9486\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Chart Made by Author</p><p><b>Netflix</b></p><p>NFLX is another FAANG that we believe has a higher probability of making a new high in the next growth cycle than most believe. While market was focused on NFLX reporting a subscriber miss of 200,000, it failed to recognize that NFLX is on track to monetize around 100 million new subscribers who are sneaking onto the platform through shared passwords. We wrote about this extensively in a recently report, and as a result has entered into our matrix of potential positions to own going into the next growth cycle.</p><p>We believe NFLX is undervalued based on where this monetization will take its revenue in the coming quarters, and this is showing up in the chart on a long-term basis. However, over the next month, Netflix looks to be tracing a bear pennant pattern/triangle pattern. These are common in 4th waves, suggesting one more push lower to complete the drawdown.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf6d052cb9d09456608464cf676403f6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Chart Made by Author</p><p><b>Microsoft</b></p><p>Microsoft (MSFT) is one of the FAAMGs that we believe will continue to exhibit dominance into future tech trends. It is one of the leaders in the on-going cloud trend, and is also setting itself up to lead in edge computing and machine learning. We believe Microsoft has multiple catalysts to maintain its growth, which is why we own it within our portfolio.</p><p>We think Microsoft is the best risk/reward mega-cap tech stock due to its firm foundation in the cloud and its diversified cloud products. It&#39;s also positioned for outsized growth due to its exposure to secular tailwinds such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the build out of the 5G network edge.

The company’s operating margin of 30.82% and the net profit margin of 25.71% are excellent.In regards to the S&P 500, Apple currently takes up 6.85% of the weighting in the S&P 500, and therefore gets 6.85% of funds going into the S&P 500.I think the odds are high that we at least attempt a double bottom, if not a push towards 3500 SPX before we can start looking up.Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) became the most valuable company in the world through creating and dominating the smart phone/mobile microtrend. As the majority of the global community went from zero smart phones to it becoming a necessity in their lives, Apple became the most valuable company in the world. However, like all trends, eventually it reaches the point of saturation. Instead of hypergrowth, we see competitors fight over existing customers on lower cost goods as revenue growth moves into a more consistent yet slower rate of change.Apple epitomizes what it means to be both a good value stock and a good tech stock with its strong margins, outsized cash flows, stable balance sheet, and a loyal base of customers supporting the brand.Apple has been very consistent with its margins and cash flows. The company's operating margin of 30.82% and the net profit margin of 25.71% are excellent, while most tech companies are currently struggling with the bottom line. It also has an outstanding free cash flow margin of 26.37%. The company has also been shareholder-friendly since it consistently repurchases shares.We have not owned Apple because it is simply not involved in any of the new tech micro trends that will likely give us the next Google (GOOG,GOOGL), Apple, or Amazon (AMZN). However, this does not mean that Apple does not deserve a place within a portfolio.Apple is an outsized beneficiary to passive investing. For those that do not want to pick stocks, and instead just own the index, Apple takes up the largest portion of this money. For example, if you don't want to own tech companies and instead want simply exposure through Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK), 23.47% of that money goes to Apple.In regards to the S&P 500, which is the most passively owned index through various mutual funds and ETFs, Apple currently takes up 6.85% of the weighting in the S&P 500, and therefore gets 6.85% of funds going into the S&P 500. This is more than UnitedHealth Group, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A,BRK.B), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Nvidia (NVDA), and Exxon (XOM) combined!Because of how its history of share buybacks, healthy Free Cash Flow, and its very large market cap, it remains a darling within institutional funds that are managing billions. In fact, as of June 30th, 16.07 billion shares outstanding are owned by institutions. This means that roughly 98% of all shares outstanding are owned by institutions.Chart Made by AuthorEven though it is not in the forefront of AI, Machine Learning, Cloud or Big Data, it is uniquely setup to capture an outsized portion of passive investors' funds as well as institutional funds. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine the broad markets making new highs without Apple.Technically, Apple has exhibited a level of relative strength in this bounce that is what you want to see in confirming a broad market trend reversal. It has reclaimed the $145 resistance level, which is a key supply zone to take back. Whether it will hold it is the question?Chart Made by AuthorThe fact that Apple has reclaimed the $145 level is a show of strength, regardless of the weakness in the momentum. If the other FAANGs were showing the level of strength APPL is right now by reclaiming key resistance levels, that would be encouraging that a meaningful low is underway. However, we are just not seeing that right now.GoogleWe recently wrote about how Google (Alphabet) is our second favorite FAANG. In a cookie-less world due to Apple's notable change to its IDFA, owners of 1st party data, like Google, are setting themselves up to further dominate. This catalyst, coupled with its positioning within the AI microtrend, is the reason why it reserves a position within our portfolio.This also lines up with the technical chart on a long-term basis. Google is the healthiest chart amongst the FAANGs, as it is comfortably above its critical support zone at $1800. As long as any additional weakness is seen here, above this critical support suggests that GOOGL is one of the FAANGs that is likely to make a new high.However, over the next month, it appears that Google is tracing a bear flag pattern. This is a common pattern that we see in 4th waves, which suggests we need one more wave to complete the 5 wave pattern in Google's drawdown.Chart Made by AuthorNetflixNFLX is another FAANG that we believe has a higher probability of making a new high in the next growth cycle than most believe. While market was focused on NFLX reporting a subscriber miss of 200,000, it failed to recognize that NFLX is on track to monetize around 100 million new subscribers who are sneaking onto the platform through shared passwords. We wrote about this extensively in a recently report, and as a result has entered into our matrix of potential positions to own going into the next growth cycle.We believe NFLX is undervalued based on where this monetization will take its revenue in the coming quarters, and this is showing up in the chart on a long-term basis. However, over the next month, Netflix looks to be tracing a bear pennant pattern/triangle pattern. These are common in 4th waves, suggesting one more push lower to complete the drawdown.Chart Made by AuthorMicrosoftMicrosoft (MSFT) is one of the FAAMGs that we believe will continue to exhibit dominance into future tech trends. It is one of the leaders in the on-going cloud trend, and is also setting itself up to lead in edge computing and machine learning. We believe Microsoft has multiple catalysts to maintain its growth, which is why we own it within our portfolio.We think Microsoft is the best risk/reward mega-cap tech stock due to its firm foundation in the cloud and its diversified cloud products. It's also positioned for outsized growth due to its exposure to secular tailwinds such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the build out of the 5G network edge. We think Microsoft will take a substantial share of these markets at the infrastructure level due to its relationships with the Fortune 500 and Global Fortune 2000.The company's business relationships with Fortune 500 companies, brand image, and wide user base are the moats that will help the company drive revenues in the hybrid cloud, machine learning, and artificial intelligence segments. Microsoft Azure is used by more than95% of the Fortune 500companies, which shows the company's dominance across enterprises.This is also present within the long-term chart of Microsoft, as it is another FAANG that has a high probability of making a new high in the next growth cycle. As long as it critical support holds at $215, this will remain our primary outlook. However, like the rest of the FAANGs, it looks like it is setting up for one more push lower before we can start looking up.Chart Made by AuthorAmazonAmazon also looks ready to break the $101.50 support zone in what looks like a 4th wave top.

the Russia-Ukraine war and COVID-related lockdowns in China that disrupted supply chains to the biggest interest rate hike since 1994, the blows just keep landing.</p><p>The worst mistake any investor can make is to sell their shares in panic when nothing is fundamentally wrong with the business.</p><p>We will now take a closer look at five technology companies within my portfolio.</p><p><b>Zoom Video (NASDAQ: ZM)</b></p><p>Zoom Video Communications, or Zoom, is a secure and reliable video communications platform that became a verb during the peak of the pandemic due to its popularity.</p><p>Its share price has fallen a long way since the all time high of US$588.84 on 19 October 2020.</p><p>As of 12th July, Zoom’s share price has fallen 41% year to date.</p><p>In its fiscal first quarter 2023 (1Q2023), revenue rose by 12% year on year to US$1.1 billion.</p><p>Zoom has seen momentum in Enterprise customers’ growth, with Enterprise revenue rising by 31% year on year to US$560 million during the quarter.</p><p>A closely-watched metric is Enterprise customers as it indicates the company’s efforts on growing the customer segment that contributes the bulk of its revenue.</p><p>The total number of Enterprise customers that contributed more than US$100,000 in annual billings grew 46% year on year to 2,916.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img

breakdown</span></p><p>For the coming quarters, a key aspect to watch will be how Zoom sells through other product offerings such as Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Phone, Zoom Whiteboard, and Zoom IQ for sales teams.</p><p><b>Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA)</b></p><p>Tesla is one of the world’s largest all-electric vehicle companies through the sale of cars, pickup trucks in the United States, China, and other countries around the world.</p><p>Differing from most of the other automotive manufacturers that sell through franchised dealerships, Tesla sells its cars direct to consumers.</p><p>This prevents any potential conflicts of interests which may arise as Tesla owns the showrooms and customers deal only with its staff.</p><p>Tesla also sells directly through the internet to consumers where a Tesla can be customised online.</p><p>In 1Q2022, Tesla reported an 81% year on year growth in total revenue to US$18.7 billion, and net income rose more than seven-fold to US$3.3 billion.</p><p>This growth was largely attributable to increased vehicle deliveries, which grew 68% year on year to 310,048 in 1Q2022.</p><p>Tesla also cited increased average selling price as one of the factors contributing to the increased revenue seen, which suggests to me they have strong pricing power.</p><p>On 2 July, Tesla released its 2Q2022’s vehicle production and delivery numbers of (Production: 258,580, Deliveries: 254,695), which caused a temporary sell off as investors started to compare it with the production and delivery numbers seen in 1Q2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img

delivery update</span></p><p>Although it seems that there is a 17.9% decline in vehicle delivery numbers between 1Q2022 and 2Q2022, investors should note that the delivery numbers are still 26.5% higher than that of 2Q2021.</p><p>With its commitment to achieve 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries, and seeing what increased delivery numbers mean for its revenue and net income, I remain a patient investor in Tesla.</p><p>Tesla’s full set of 2Q2022 numbers will be announced on 20th July, after the US market closes.</p><p><b>Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX)</b></p><p>Netflix is one of the world’s largest streaming media and entertainment services companies, with 222 million paid memberships in over 190 countries.</p><p>Netflix surged to dominance similarly during the COVID-19 period when most countries were on lockdown.</p><p>Over the years, it has consistently produced great content that hooked viewers, with popular TV series Stranger Things, Squid Game and Money Heist etc.</p><p>With the current bear market and tech sell off that we witnessed not too long ago, the stock has also fallen 70.8% year to date (12 July 2022’s closing price).</p><p>Netflix’s 1Q2022 revenue rose 9.8% year on year to US$7.9 billion, while net income for the same period declined 6.8% year on year to US$1.6 billion.</p><p>In its 1Q2022 earnings call, Netflix reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers compared with its previous quarter and mentioned that it is guiding for a two million loss in subscribers for its second quarter.</p><p>Although the market didn’t react well to this news, there is justification for this guidance and the plans that Netflix has laid out seemed fair.</p><p>Netflix is looking to introduce more controls to prevent password sharing outside the household.</p><p>More than 100 million households are piggy backing on other paid subscribers</p><p>These free loaders are active users as well, so it is reasonable for Netflix to levy an introductory

Here is a mid-year review of my five largest tech stocks.Source: Netflix Media CentreAs an investor that has a more than 70% concentration of my portfolio in technology stocks, this year hasn’t been all roses and sunshine for me.Just a few weeks ago, the S&P 500 Index entered a bear market after closing more than 22% below its all time high of 4,818.62 on 4 January 2022.From the Russia-Ukraine war and COVID-related lockdowns in China that disrupted supply chains to the biggest interest rate hike since 1994, the blows just keep landing.The worst mistake any investor can make is to sell their shares in panic when nothing is fundamentally wrong with the business.We will now take a closer look at five technology companies within my portfolio.Zoom Video (NASDAQ: ZM)Zoom Video Communications, or Zoom, is a secure and reliable video communications platform that became a verb during the peak of the pandemic due to its popularity.Its share price has fallen a long way since the all time high of US$588.84 on 19 October 2020.As of 12th July, Zoom’s share price has fallen 41% year to date.In its fiscal first quarter 2023 (1Q2023), revenue rose by 12% year on year to US$1.1 billion.Zoom has seen momentum in Enterprise customers’ growth, with Enterprise revenue rising by 31% year on year to US$560 million during the quarter.A closely-watched metric is Enterprise customers as it indicates the company’s efforts on growing the customer segment that contributes the bulk of its revenue.The total number of Enterprise customers that contributed more than US$100,000 in annual billings grew 46% year on year to 2,916.Source: Zoom, 1Q2023 earnings deck, >US$100k customers breakdownFor the coming quarters, a key aspect to watch will be how Zoom sells through other product offerings such as Zoom Contact Centre, Zoom Phone, Zoom Whiteboard, and Zoom IQ for sales teams.Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA)Tesla is one of the world’s largest all-electric vehicle companies through the sale of cars, pickup trucks in the United States, China, and other countries around the world.Differing from most of the other automotive manufacturers that sell through franchised dealerships, Tesla sells its cars direct to consumers.This prevents any potential conflicts of interests which may arise as Tesla owns the showrooms and customers deal only with its staff.Tesla also sells directly through the internet to consumers where a Tesla can be customised online.In 1Q2022, Tesla reported an 81% year on year growth in total revenue to US$18.7 billion, and net income rose more than seven-fold to US$3.3 billion.This growth was largely attributable to increased vehicle deliveries, which grew 68% year on year to 310,048 in 1Q2022.Tesla also cited increased average selling price as one of the factors contributing to the increased revenue seen, which suggests to me they have strong pricing power.On 2 July, Tesla released its 2Q2022’s vehicle production and delivery numbers of (Production: 258,580, Deliveries: 254,695), which caused a temporary sell off as investors started to compare it with the production and delivery numbers seen in 1Q2022.Source: Tesla, 1Q2022 update, 2Q2022 production and delivery updateAlthough it seems that there is a 17.9% decline in vehicle delivery numbers between 1Q2022 and 2Q2022, investors should note that the delivery numbers are still 26.5% higher than that of 2Q2021.With its commitment to achieve 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries, and seeing what increased delivery numbers mean for its revenue and net income, I remain a patient investor in Tesla.Tesla’s full set of 2Q2022 numbers will be announced on 20th July, after the US market closes.Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX)Netflix is one of the world’s largest streaming media and entertainment services companies, with 222 million paid memberships in over 190 countries.Netflix surged to dominance similarly during the COVID-19 period when most countries were on lockdown.Over the years, it has consistently produced great content that hooked viewers, with popular TV series Stranger Things, Squid Game and Money Heist etc.With the current bear market and tech sell off that we witnessed not too long ago, the stock has also fallen 70.8% year to date (12 July 2022’s closing price).Netflix’s 1Q2022 revenue rose 9.8% year on year to US$7.9 billion, while net income for the same period declined 6.8% year on year to US$1.6 billion.In its 1Q2022 earnings call, Netflix reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers compared with its previous quarter and mentioned that it is guiding for a two million loss in subscribers for its second quarter.Although the market didn’t react well to this news, there is justification for this guidance and the plans that Netflix has laid out seemed fair.Netflix is looking to introduce more controls to prevent password sharing outside the household.More than 100 million households are piggy backing on other paid subscribersThese free loaders are active users as well, so it is reasonable for Netflix to levy an introductory charge on this base of customers.Such a move, if successful, could open up an additional revenue stream for the streaming giant.To combat the fierce competition from the likes of Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Netflix is looking to offer lower-cost plans with advertising.This is a win-win model that would not only attract and retain budget-constrained subscribers, but also introduce new revenue streams for the company.DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU)DocuSign is an e-signature platform provider that enables organisations to automate, sign, and manage agreements electronically across practically any smart device.It is the world’s number one e-signature solution with a strong base of 1.24 million customers.For its 1Q2023 ended 30 April 2022, DocuSign reported revenue growth of 25% year on year to US$589 million.Gross margin was 81%, with operating margin 17% for 1Q2023.Alongside these strong margins, DocuSign also commands a high net dollar retention rate of 114%.DocuSign spooked the market when it announced weak guidance for 2Q2023’s billings, between the range of US$599 million to US$609 million.The market felt that this forecasted increase, even at the top end of its range, was only 2.3% higher than 2Q2022’s US$595.4 million.That said, looking at the explosive growth in its total customer base, which has a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40% from FY2013 to 1Q2023, monetisation opportunities are still plenty for DocuSign.In addition, its strength in gaining enterprise customers that spend more than US$300,000 a year, also saw a CAGR of 44% from FY2013 to 886 in 1Q2023.Source: DocuSign, 1Q2023 earnings release, customer base breakdownLast but not least, the strategic partnership that DocuSign announced with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MFST), which will see integration of cross products, means there will be extra momentum that will come from the Enterprise segment.Apple (NASDAQ: APPL)Apple is a company that needs no further introduction. It changed the entire era of smartphones and is now one of the most valuable brands in the world.It is also the largest contributor to the S&P 500 index.Apple has a strong base of loyal customers and has, over years, created a strong and interlinked ecosystem of products and services on the back of the success of the iPhone.In its 2Q2022 earnings, we saw how Apple outperformed analysts’ expectations by reporting revenue of US$97.3 billion, above the US$94 billion that was forecasted.As the COVID-related supply chain woes in China ease, Apple will benefit from the effect in the next few quarters.As an investor, Apple’s main draw is the ability to innovate and cross sell its other services and products together directly to a strong and loyal customer base.Although word on the street is pointing at Apple’s possible release of a virtual reality headset, what is certain is that when Apple launches it, this will likely be tied in with services revenue.Services Revenue was Apple’s fastest growing segment as of 2Q2022 (+17% year on year), with revenue of US$19.8 billion.Final ThoughtsAlthough most of the stocks above did fall from a high, a closer look at each stock provides assurance that the business behind each company is doing fine.It is hard not to feel affected when the same stocks were registering more than 100% gains, but as a long term investor, I’m in for the long term, and I’ll likely strategically add on to these positions whenever there’s a chance.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076443373,"gmtCreate":1657896287192,"gmtModify":1676536078745,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very insightful 🙌","listText":"Very insightful 🙌","text":"Very insightful 🙌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076443373","repostId":"1174191896","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174191896","pubTimestamp":1657776259,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174191896?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-14 13:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Vs. Google: There's A Clear Winner","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174191896","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryApple and Google are both wide moat stocks with high margins and strong growth.They are simil","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Apple and Google are both wide moat stocks with high margins and strong growth.</li><li>They are similar in many ways, but Google is currently cheaper.</li><li>On the other hand, Apple has higher brand loyalty.</li><li>In this article, I analyze Apple and Google side by side to see which is better.</li></ul><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOG\">Alphabet</a> are two of America’s biggest tech giants. One has a fanatical fan base andextreme brand loyalty, the other is themostubiquitous companyin the world. There’s a strong case to be made for owning both of them, and this author, at least, does.</p><p>However, it is worth exploring which of these two stocks is the better buy. First, it’s valuable as an intellectual exercise. Second, it can help you with position sizing. It’s easy enough to say “Apple and Google are both great companies,” it’s a different matter entirely to say how they should be weighted in your portfolio.</p><p>You can always just buy AAPL and GOOG via the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QQQ\">Invesco QQQ Trust</a>, and enjoy both stocks at their market cap weightings. However, Google has historicallyhad stronger growththanApple, and if that continues, then those who overweight GOOG today will be rewarded.</p><p>So, between Apple and Google, which is the better buy?</p><p>There are many different opinions on this. Warren Buffett owns Apple but not Google, which implies he likes the former better. However, Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger recently commented that GOOG was a great stock that he and Buffett had “missed.” Li Lu, another top value investor, holds Google in addition to Apple.</p><p>As for me personally, I have Google at a higher portfolio weighting than Apple. I think they’re both great companies, but Google was much cheaper than Apple when I started buying the two stocks, despite having better growth. Google’s earnings growth is technically negative due to it owning a stock portfolio during a bear market, but its free cash flow growth is better than Apple’s. I think that Google will outgrow Apple for the foreseeable future, so I see its stock as a somewhat better buy.</p><h3>Competitive Landscape</h3><p>When comparing Apple and Google, we need to look at the competitive landscape they operate in. Both companies are giants in the tech sector, and they offer similar products, including:</p><ul><ul><li></li><li>Smartphone operating systems.</li><li></li><li>App stores.</li><li></li><li>Hardware.</li></ul></ul><p>Generally speaking, Apple is ahead of Google on hardware, but Google is ahead of Apple on software. In 2021, Apple sold240 million iPhones, Google’s Pixel 6 reportedly didn’t sell wellthat year. However, Google’s software has acombined 4.3 billion users, while Apple has1.65 billiontotal users. So, Google software has more reach than Apple’s combined hardware/software ecosystem does. Additionally, Android has about 75% of the smartphone market worldwide, while IOS has 25%.</p><p>The matter is more complicated when we look at revenue. Apple and Google both take revenue cuts from developers on their app stores, and the Apple app store generates way more sales than the Google Play store. In the first quarter, the app store did $21.8 billion in sales, while the play store did $10.7 billion. Android has more installs than IOS, but IOS users, who trend wealthier than average, are more willing to spend money on apps compared to Android users.</p><p>A few other items of note about the competition between Apple and Google:</p><ul><ul><li></li><li>Apple has an ecosystem of apps and hardware which integrate with each other, helping the company collect more revenue per customer.</li><li></li><li>Google also has apps that can work across different devices to create an ecosystem, but because Google software runs mostly on third party hardware, Google doesn’t achieve the full sweep of sales that Apple does (hardware + app downloads + services).</li><li></li><li>Apple and Google also compete in smart watches, a market where Apple has the greatest share out of all manufacturers.</li></ul></ul><p>In addition to the competition between Apple and Google, there are also areas where the two are aligned. Chiefly, in advertising. Google pays Apple$15 billion a yearto be the default IOS search engine. So, both Apple and Google make money off of the success of Google’s advertising platforms. This gives the two companies an edge compared to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a>, which is currently losing$10 billion a yearin revenue to Apple’srecent privacy changes.</p><h3>Comparative Valuation</h3><p>When we look at Apple and Google side by side, we can see clearly that they are both incredibly well positioned in the tech industry. It’s very difficult to say which of the two is better positioned. They both control mobile platforms, which make them less vulnerable to competitors than Meta, <b>Snap</b>(SNAP) and others. As for the comparison between Apple and Google: that’s less clear, because their structural advantages are very similar.</p><p>In order to break the tie between Apple and Google, then, we’ll have to do a comparative valuation. Assuming both companies are equally entrenched in the market, then the one that’s cheaper relative to intrinsic value is the better buy.</p><p>First though, we need to look at both companies’ trailing 12-month (“TTM”) financials side by side.</p><h3>Financials</h3><p>In the table below, I have presented some TTM financials for Apple and Google, courtesy of Seeking Alpha Quant:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df6ddfcce9f1672db46d9aecca3ff169\" tg-width=\"848\" tg-height=\"566\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Using the table above, some key ratios for the two companies can be calculated as follows:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d405e8d59435b7e246742a416c516de\" tg-width=\"823\" tg-height=\"338\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>As you can see, Apple takes the cake on 2 out of 3 profitability ratios, but Google has better debt to equity and current ratios. These data seem to suggest that Apple is more profitable, while Google has the better balance sheet. We can confirm my profitability analysis by looking at Seeking Alpha Quant&#39;s ratios:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46f7e66ffa0a24e70076b788d7c34db9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"914\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ded8e928d6a71cc356992117037ba88\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"947\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>GOOG profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)</span></p><p>The numbers from Seeking Alpha Quant differ from mine slightly, but basically agree that Apple and Google have similar profitability ratios. Apple has a vastly superior return on equity, though--near&#39;s five times Google&#39;s. Given the closeness of all the metrics apart from ROE and ROA, those can serve as tie breakers, giving Apple the win on profitability.</p><p>The balance sheet comparison isn&#39;t close. Apple&#39;s debt to equity ratio is 30 times higher than Google&#39;s, while its current ratio is only a third of Google&#39;s. These data suggest that Google is more liquid, and more solvent, than Apple. Below I&#39;ve compiled some third-party ratios by MacroTrends, which agree with my analysis that Google has fewer liabilities relative to assets, both long term and current, compared to Apple.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a908a9a1fd9294691b9169408a1b189\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"83\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The tables above clearly show that Google&#39;s liquidity ratios are higher than Apple&#39;s, and its debt ratios lower--this suggests higher liquidity and solvency.</p><h3>Valuation</h3><p>Armed with Apple and Google&#39;s financials, we can now move on to valuation. So far, our comparison basically favors Google: it has a much better balance sheet than Apple does. But which stock is a better value?</p><p>According to Seeking Alpha Quant, some key valuation metrics for Apple and Google include:</p><p>For a more forward-looking valuation, we can do a DCF model. Assuming an 8% discount rate, a 0% perpetual growth rate, and using 5-year historical FCF growth rates for both stocks, my DCF model yielded these fair values:</p><ul><li>Google: $2,702.</li><li>Apple: $171.</li></ul><p>Both get valuations above their current prices, but Google&#39;s upside (20%) is higher than Apple&#39;s (17.9%).</p><p>When we factor in both multiples and discounted cash flows, there’s no question:</p><p><i>Google wins on valuation.</i></p><p>All of the multiples are much lower for Google than for Apple, and Google&#39;s fair value is higher. Additionally, Google has much higher historical revenue growth than Apple does. In the last 12 months, Googlegrew revenue at 37%, Apple atonly 18.6%. In the most recent quarter, Google reported an earnings decline, whereas Apple’s earnings grew. However, Google’s earnings decline was mainly due to having stocks on its balance sheet. GAAP accounting rules require companies to count stock price fluctuations as part of earnings, which results in losses when stocks go down. It does not, however, reflect operating performance: Google’soperating cash flowgrew 9% in Q1.</p><p>Conclusion: Google is the Better Long-Term Value</p><p>Having considered competitive, financial and valuation factors, I conclude that Google is a better value than Apple at today’s prices. To recap the results of each section of my analysis:</p><ul><li><p>Competitive position: tie.</p></li><li><p>Profitability: slight win by Apple.</p></li><li><p>Balance sheet: huge win by Google.</p></li><li><p>Valuation: huge win by Google.</p></li><li><p>Growth: small win by Google.</p></li></ul><p>Out of the five factors I’ve looked at, Google wins on three, Apple wins on one, and one is a tie.

One has a fanatical fan base andextreme brand loyalty, the other is themostubiquitous companyin the world. There’s a strong case to be made for owning both of them, and this author, at least, does.However, it is worth exploring which of these two stocks is the better buy. First, it’s valuable as an intellectual exercise. Second, it can help you with position sizing. It’s easy enough to say “Apple and Google are both great companies,” it’s a different matter entirely to say how they should be weighted in your portfolio.You can always just buy AAPL and GOOG via the Invesco QQQ Trust, and enjoy both stocks at their market cap weightings. However, Google has historicallyhad stronger growththanApple, and if that continues, then those who overweight GOOG today will be rewarded.So, between Apple and Google, which is the better buy?There are many different opinions on this. Warren Buffett owns Apple but not Google, which implies he likes the former better. However, Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger recently commented that GOOG was a great stock that he and Buffett had “missed.” Li Lu, another top value investor, holds Google in addition to Apple.As for me personally, I have Google at a higher portfolio weighting than Apple. I think they’re both great companies, but Google was much cheaper than Apple when I started buying the two stocks, despite having better growth. Google’s earnings growth is technically negative due to it owning a stock portfolio during a bear market, but its free cash flow growth is better than Apple’s. I think that Google will outgrow Apple for the foreseeable future, so I see its stock as a somewhat better buy.Competitive LandscapeWhen comparing Apple and Google, we need to look at the competitive landscape they operate in. Both companies are giants in the tech sector, and they offer similar products, including:Smartphone operating systems.App stores.Hardware.Generally speaking, Apple is ahead of Google on hardware, but Google is ahead of Apple on software. In 2021, Apple sold240 million iPhones, Google’s Pixel 6 reportedly didn’t sell wellthat year. However, Google’s software has acombined 4.3 billion users, while Apple has1.65 billiontotal users. So, Google software has more reach than Apple’s combined hardware/software ecosystem does. Additionally, Android has about 75% of the smartphone market worldwide, while IOS has 25%.The matter is more complicated when we look at revenue. Apple and Google both take revenue cuts from developers on their app stores, and the Apple app store generates way more sales than the Google Play store. In the first quarter, the app store did $21.8 billion in sales, while the play store did $10.7 billion. Android has more installs than IOS, but IOS users, who trend wealthier than average, are more willing to spend money on apps compared to Android users.A few other items of note about the competition between Apple and Google:Apple has an ecosystem of apps and hardware which integrate with each other, helping the company collect more revenue per customer.Google also has apps that can work across different devices to create an ecosystem, but because Google software runs mostly on third party hardware, Google doesn’t achieve the full sweep of sales that Apple does (hardware + app downloads + services).Apple and Google also compete in smart watches, a market where Apple has the greatest share out of all manufacturers.In addition to the competition between Apple and Google, there are also areas where the two are aligned. Chiefly, in advertising. Google pays Apple$15 billion a yearto be the default IOS search engine. So, both Apple and Google make money off of the success of Google’s advertising platforms. This gives the two companies an edge compared to Meta Platforms, which is currently losing$10 billion a yearin revenue to Apple’srecent privacy changes.Comparative ValuationWhen we look at Apple and Google side by side, we can see clearly that they are both incredibly well positioned in the tech industry. It’s very difficult to say which of the two is better positioned. They both control mobile platforms, which make them less vulnerable to competitors than Meta, Snap(SNAP) and others. As for the comparison between Apple and Google: that’s less clear, because their structural advantages are very similar.In order to break the tie between Apple and Google, then, we’ll have to do a comparative valuation. Assuming both companies are equally entrenched in the market, then the one that’s cheaper relative to intrinsic value is the better buy.First though, we need to look at both companies’ trailing 12-month (“TTM”) financials side by side.FinancialsIn the table below, I have presented some TTM financials for Apple and Google, courtesy of Seeking Alpha Quant:Using the table above, some key ratios for the two companies can be calculated as follows:As you can see, Apple takes the cake on 2 out of 3 profitability ratios, but Google has better debt to equity and current ratios. These data seem to suggest that Apple is more profitable, while Google has the better balance sheet. We can confirm my profitability analysis by looking at Seeking Alpha Quant's ratios:AAPL profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)GOOG profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)The numbers from Seeking Alpha Quant differ from mine slightly, but basically agree that Apple and Google have similar profitability ratios. Apple has a vastly superior return on equity, though--near's five times Google's. Given the closeness of all the metrics apart from ROE and ROA, those can serve as tie breakers, giving Apple the win on profitability.The balance sheet comparison isn't close. Apple's debt to equity ratio is 30 times higher than Google's, while its current ratio is only a third of Google's. These data suggest that Google is more liquid, and more solvent, than Apple. Below I've compiled some third-party ratios by MacroTrends, which agree with my analysis that Google has fewer liabilities relative to assets, both long term and current, compared to Apple.The tables above clearly show that Google's liquidity ratios are higher than Apple's, and its debt ratios lower--this suggests higher liquidity and solvency.ValuationArmed with Apple and Google's financials, we can now move on to valuation. So far, our comparison basically favors Google: it has a much better balance sheet than Apple does. But which stock is a better value?According to Seeking Alpha Quant, some key valuation metrics for Apple and Google include:For a more forward-looking valuation, we can do a DCF model. Assuming an 8% discount rate, a 0% perpetual growth rate, and using 5-year historical FCF growth rates for both stocks, my DCF model yielded these fair values:Google: $2,702.Apple: $171.Both get valuations above their current prices, but Google's upside (20%) is higher than Apple's (17.9%).When we factor in both multiples and discounted cash flows, there’s no question:Google wins on valuation.All of the multiples are much lower for Google than for Apple, and Google's fair value is higher. Additionally, Google has much higher historical revenue growth than Apple does. In the last 12 months, Googlegrew revenue at 37%, Apple atonly 18.6%. In the most recent quarter, Google reported an earnings decline, whereas Apple’s earnings grew. However, Google’s earnings decline was mainly due to having stocks on its balance sheet. GAAP accounting rules require companies to count stock price fluctuations as part of earnings, which results in losses when stocks go down. It does not, however, reflect operating performance: Google’soperating cash flowgrew 9% in Q1.Conclusion: Google is the Better Long-Term ValueHaving considered competitive, financial and valuation factors, I conclude that Google is a better value than Apple at today’s prices. To recap the results of each section of my analysis:Competitive position: tie.Profitability: slight win by Apple.Balance sheet: huge win by Google.Valuation: huge win by Google.Growth: small win by Google.Out of the five factors I’ve looked at, Google wins on three, Apple wins on one, and one is a tie. The former stock has more things going for it than the latter does. For this reason, I have Google overweighted in my portfolio relative to Apple.Risks and ChallengesWhile my analysis shows that Google has more advantages over Apple than vice versa, I am heavily relying on quantifiable factors here. There’s a plausible case to be made that Apple beats Google on “soft” factors, such as marketing and branding. Everybody knows AAPL has a great brand - how much is it worth exactly? It’s hard to say. Brand recognition gives companies pricing power, and Apple has a lot more of that than Google does. It is possible that, over time, Apple’s brand power will prevail over Google’s ubiquity.

One has a fanatical fan base andextreme brand loyalty, the other is themostubiquitous companyin the world. There’s a strong case to be made for owning both of them, and this author, at least, does.However, it is worth exploring which of these two stocks is the better buy. First, it’s valuable as an intellectual exercise. Second, it can help you with position sizing. It’s easy enough to say “Apple and Google are both great companies,” it’s a different matter entirely to say how they should be weighted in your portfolio.You can always just buy AAPL and GOOG via the Invesco QQQ Trust, and enjoy both stocks at their market cap weightings. However, Google has historicallyhad stronger growththanApple, and if that continues, then those who overweight GOOG today will be rewarded.So, between Apple and Google, which is the better buy?There are many different opinions on this. Warren Buffett owns Apple but not Google, which implies he likes the former better. However, Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger recently commented that GOOG was a great stock that he and Buffett had “missed.” Li Lu, another top value investor, holds Google in addition to Apple.As for me personally, I have Google at a higher portfolio weighting than Apple. I think they’re both great companies, but Google was much cheaper than Apple when I started buying the two stocks, despite having better growth. Google’s earnings growth is technically negative due to it owning a stock portfolio during a bear market, but its free cash flow growth is better than Apple’s. I think that Google will outgrow Apple for the foreseeable future, so I see its stock as a somewhat better buy.Competitive LandscapeWhen comparing Apple and Google, we need to look at the competitive landscape they operate in. Both companies are giants in the tech sector, and they offer similar products, including:Smartphone operating systems.App stores.Hardware.Generally speaking, Apple is ahead of Google on hardware, but Google is ahead of Apple on software. In 2021, Apple sold240 million iPhones, Google’s Pixel 6 reportedly didn’t sell wellthat year. However, Google’s software has acombined 4.3 billion users, while Apple has1.65 billiontotal users. So, Google software has more reach than Apple’s combined hardware/software ecosystem does. Additionally, Android has about 75% of the smartphone market worldwide, while IOS has 25%.The matter is more complicated when we look at revenue. Apple and Google both take revenue cuts from developers on their app stores, and the Apple app store generates way more sales than the Google Play store. In the first quarter, the app store did $21.8 billion in sales, while the play store did $10.7 billion. Android has more installs than IOS, but IOS users, who trend wealthier than average, are more willing to spend money on apps compared to Android users.A few other items of note about the competition between Apple and Google:Apple has an ecosystem of apps and hardware which integrate with each other, helping the company collect more revenue per customer.Google also has apps that can work across different devices to create an ecosystem, but because Google software runs mostly on third party hardware, Google doesn’t achieve the full sweep of sales that Apple does (hardware + app downloads + services).Apple and Google also compete in smart watches, a market where Apple has the greatest share out of all manufacturers.In addition to the competition between Apple and Google, there are also areas where the two are aligned. Chiefly, in advertising. Google pays Apple$15 billion a yearto be the default IOS search engine. So, both Apple and Google make money off of the success of Google’s advertising platforms. This gives the two companies an edge compared to Meta Platforms, which is currently losing$10 billion a yearin revenue to Apple’srecent privacy changes.Comparative ValuationWhen we look at Apple and Google side by side, we can see clearly that they are both incredibly well positioned in the tech industry. It’s very difficult to say which of the two is better positioned. They both control mobile platforms, which make them less vulnerable to competitors than Meta, Snap(SNAP) and others. As for the comparison between Apple and Google: that’s less clear, because their structural advantages are very similar.In order to break the tie between Apple and Google, then, we’ll have to do a comparative valuation. Assuming both companies are equally entrenched in the market, then the one that’s cheaper relative to intrinsic value is the better buy.First though, we need to look at both companies’ trailing 12-month (“TTM”) financials side by side.FinancialsIn the table below, I have presented some TTM financials for Apple and Google, courtesy of Seeking Alpha Quant:Using the table above, some key ratios for the two companies can be calculated as follows:As you can see, Apple takes the cake on 2 out of 3 profitability ratios, but Google has better debt to equity and current ratios. These data seem to suggest that Apple is more profitable, while Google has the better balance sheet. We can confirm my profitability analysis by looking at Seeking Alpha Quant's ratios:AAPL profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)GOOG profitability (Seeking Alpha Quant)The numbers from Seeking Alpha Quant differ from mine slightly, but basically agree that Apple and Google have similar profitability ratios. Apple has a vastly superior return on equity, though--near's five times Google's. Given the closeness of all the metrics apart from ROE and ROA, those can serve as tie breakers, giving Apple the win on profitability.The balance sheet comparison isn't close. Apple's debt to equity ratio is 30 times higher than Google's, while its current ratio is only a third of Google's. These data suggest that Google is more liquid, and more solvent, than Apple. Below I've compiled some third-party ratios by MacroTrends, which agree with my analysis that Google has fewer liabilities relative to assets, both long term and current, compared to Apple.The tables above clearly show that Google's liquidity ratios are higher than Apple's, and its debt ratios lower--this suggests higher liquidity and solvency.ValuationArmed with Apple and Google's financials, we can now move on to valuation. So far, our comparison basically favors Google: it has a much better balance sheet than Apple does. But which stock is a better value?According to Seeking Alpha Quant, some key valuation metrics for Apple and Google include:For a more forward-looking valuation, we can do a DCF model. Assuming an 8% discount rate, a 0% perpetual growth rate, and using 5-year historical FCF growth rates for both stocks, my DCF model yielded these fair values:Google: $2,702.Apple: $171.Both get valuations above their current prices, but Google's upside (20%) is higher than Apple's (17.9%).When we factor in both multiples and discounted cash flows, there’s no question:Google wins on valuation.All of the multiples are much lower for Google than for Apple, and Google's fair value is higher. Additionally, Google has much higher historical revenue growth than Apple does. In the last 12 months, Googlegrew revenue at 37%, Apple atonly 18.6%. In the most recent quarter, Google reported an earnings decline, whereas Apple’s earnings grew. However, Google’s earnings decline was mainly due to having stocks on its balance sheet. GAAP accounting rules require companies to count stock price fluctuations as part of earnings, which results in losses when stocks go down. It does not, however, reflect operating performance: Google’soperating cash flowgrew 9% in Q1.Conclusion: Google is the Better Long-Term ValueHaving considered competitive, financial and valuation factors, I conclude that Google is a better value than Apple at today’s prices. To recap the results of each section of my analysis:Competitive position: tie.Profitability: slight win by Apple.Balance sheet: huge win by Google.Valuation: huge win by Google.Growth: small win by Google.Out of the five factors I’ve looked at, Google wins on three, Apple wins on one, and one is a tie. The former stock has more things going for it than the latter does. For this reason, I have Google overweighted in my portfolio relative to Apple.Risks and ChallengesWhile my analysis shows that Google has more advantages over Apple than vice versa, I am heavily relying on quantifiable factors here. There’s a plausible case to be made that Apple beats Google on “soft” factors, such as marketing and branding. Everybody knows AAPL has a great brand - how much is it worth exactly? It’s hard to say. Brand recognition gives companies pricing power, and Apple has a lot more of that than Google does. It is possible that, over time, Apple’s brand power will prevail over Google’s ubiquity. There is no way to fit that possibility into a quantitative model, but it exists.There’s also the possibility of short-term volatility in Google after this month’s earnings release. Both Apple and Google are releasing earnings in a few weeks, and Google is vulnerable due to its equity investments. When equities decline in price, their “losses” take a bite out of earnings for companies that hold them. This factor will work against Google in the upcoming release, as itholds positionsin struggling stocks like UiPath(PATH).There are also risks to investors choosing to go long both of these stocks. The Federal Reserve israising interest ratesthis year, and rate hikes aren’t usually good for tech stocks. The higher the risk-free rate, the less valuable future growth is. High interest rates generally make value stocks more appealing than growth stocks, and neither Google nor Apple is really in ‘value’ territory just yet.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":60,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076454763,"gmtCreate":1657895844753,"gmtModify":1676536078675,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>↖️","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>↖️","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$↖️","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a8d1cde875da0b0d395cb68f854af14","width":"960","height":"3552"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076454763","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9045860467,"gmtCreate":1656596718359,"gmtModify":1676535859986,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just enter.

We posited in our previous update in May that AAPL could bottom soon, given the extent of the last sell-off. Notably, it formed a validated bear trap (significant rejection of selling momentum), corroborating its May bottom.</p><p>However, another June sell-off soon took out its May lows, which invalidated its bear trap. As a result, we revisited our price action thesis and realized we had been wrong on AAPL stock. We revised our rating to Buy too early in 2022, as AAPL formed a double top bull trap (significant rejection of buying momentum) at the end of March.</p><p>Therefore, instead of turning cautious due to its double top, we kept our Buy rating and executed poorly. Consequently, we are reminded again by the market never to ignore the presence of double tops, as they often portend early warning signals to significant trend reversals.</p><p>Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows. However, we are not convinced that the digestion from its double top has been completed. Also, our reverse cash flow model indicates that AAPL could underperform the market even at the current levels.</p><p>Accordingly, we believe revising our rating from Buy to Hold is appropriate.</p><h2>AAPL - Trend Has Turned Decisively Bearish</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38a3910949c6058150395b757a3503a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AAPL price chart (monthly) (TradingView)</p><p>Despite the steep sell-off from its March double top, AAPL is still in a long-term uptrend. Therefore, we believe some long-term AAPL investors remain unperturbed.</p><p>However, we urge caution as AAPL&#39;s surge from its COVID bottom was too fast, helping the stock outperform the market significantly over the past two years. However, such a massive surge is unsustainable unless the company can continue delivering on massive earnings or free cash flow growth from highly challenging comps.</p><p>Furthermore, AAPL&#39;s price action looks extended. As a result, we believe that the digestion from the double top has not been completed, with steeper sell-offs moving forward.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a076eb75f450583b6ab364ebde40ad8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AAPL price chart (weekly) (TradingView)</p><p>Moving into its weekly chart, we can glean the double top at the end of March. Even though AAPL staged a validated bear trap in May as expected, it has already been invalidated by June&#39;s sell-off. Investors are reminded to accord higher precedence to double top price action. Initial bear traps following a double top are usually unreliable.</p><p>Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows, but its momentum has already turned decisively bearish. Therefore, AAPL&#39;s bias continues to the downside if it cannot retake its near-term resistance convincingly.</p><p>Therefore, we will be watching its price action closely. Investors should be prepared for a steep sell-off if it fails its near-term resistance re-test and forms a bull trap.</p><h2>Apple Could Significantly Underperform The Market</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41ba9d7cfac4a1b1c26f3d4535b442fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Apple revenue change % and GAAP EPS change % consensus estimates (S&amp;P Cap IQ)</p><p>Apple still deserves plaudits for its impressive EPS growth, as seen above.

Moreover, its EPS growth is projected to slow considerably as it laps increasingly challenging comps. Hence, unless Apple can deliver something massive that can move the needle (Apple car?), it&#39;s challenging to expect Apple to outperform the market moving forward.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55cbe4a98a878e9069e764c8bfc38786\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Apple EBIT margins % and FCF margins % consensus estimates (S&amp;P Cap IQ)</p><p>Notwithstanding, Apple is a massive cash flow machine, converting most of its EBIT profitability into free cash flow (FCF), as seen above.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) stock. We posited in our previous update in May that AAPL could bottom soon, given the extent of the last sell-off. Notably, it formed a validated bear trap (significant rejection of selling momentum), corroborating its May bottom.However, another June sell-off soon took out its May lows, which invalidated its bear trap. As a result, we revisited our price action thesis and realized we had been wrong on AAPL stock. We revised our rating to Buy too early in 2022, as AAPL formed a double top bull trap (significant rejection of buying momentum) at the end of March.Therefore, instead of turning cautious due to its double top, we kept our Buy rating and executed poorly. Consequently, we are reminded again by the market never to ignore the presence of double tops, as they often portend early warning signals to significant trend reversals.Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows. However, we are not convinced that the digestion from its double top has been completed. Also, our reverse cash flow model indicates that AAPL could underperform the market even at the current levels.Accordingly, we believe revising our rating from Buy to Hold is appropriate.AAPL - Trend Has Turned Decisively BearishAAPL price chart (monthly) (TradingView)Despite the steep sell-off from its March double top, AAPL is still in a long-term uptrend. Therefore, we believe some long-term AAPL investors remain unperturbed.However, we urge caution as AAPL's surge from its COVID bottom was too fast, helping the stock outperform the market significantly over the past two years. However, such a massive surge is unsustainable unless the company can continue delivering on massive earnings or free cash flow growth from highly challenging comps.Furthermore, AAPL's price action looks extended. As a result, we believe that the digestion from the double top has not been completed, with steeper sell-offs moving forward.AAPL price chart (weekly) (TradingView)Moving into its weekly chart, we can glean the double top at the end of March. Even though AAPL staged a validated bear trap in May as expected, it has already been invalidated by June's sell-off. Investors are reminded to accord higher precedence to double top price action. Initial bear traps following a double top are usually unreliable.Notwithstanding, AAPL is still holding its June lows, but its momentum has already turned decisively bearish. Therefore, AAPL's bias continues to the downside if it cannot retake its near-term resistance convincingly.Therefore, we will be watching its price action closely. Investors should be prepared for a steep sell-off if it fails its near-term resistance re-test and forms a bull trap.Apple Could Significantly Underperform The MarketApple revenue change % and GAAP EPS change % consensus estimates (S&P Cap IQ)Apple still deserves plaudits for its impressive EPS growth, as seen above. Despite tepid revenue growth metrics, it has consistently posted more robust EPS growth, supported by its stock repurchase programs.Notwithstanding, Apple's revenue growth is expected to moderate significantly over the next few years. Moreover, its EPS growth is projected to slow considerably as it laps increasingly challenging comps. Hence, unless Apple can deliver something massive that can move the needle (Apple car?), it's challenging to expect Apple to outperform the market moving forward.Apple EBIT margins % and FCF margins % consensus estimates (S&P Cap IQ)Notwithstanding, Apple is a massive cash flow machine, converting most of its EBIT profitability into free cash flow (FCF), as seen above. As a result, it's expected to continue underpinning its robust FCF margins despite the slowdown in revenue growth.StockAAPLAssumed entry level$129Hurdle rate (CAGR)22.98%Projection throughCQ4'26Required FCF yield in CQ4'267.14%Assumed TTM FCF margin in CQ4'2627%Implied TTM revenue by CQ4'26$1.4TAAPL reverse cash flow valuation model. Data source: S&P Cap IQ, authorAAPL has outperformed the Invesco QQQ Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF (QQQ) over the past five to ten years. It delivered a 5Y total return CAGR of 31.84% (Vs. QQQ's 15.99%). It also posted a 10Y total return CAGR of 22.98% (Vs. QQQ's 17.52%).Therefore, to make sense of whether the market expects AAPL to outperform moving ahead, we used an assumed entry price of $129 (near-term support). We also applied a hurdle rate of 22.98% (equivalent to its 10Y average performance) and used the 10Y mean of its FCF yield of 7.14%.As a result, we require Apple to post revenue of $1.4T by CQ4'26, which is \"impossible,\" based on the current consensus estimates. Hence, we believe the market is likely pricing in further weakness in AAPL as it could significantly underperform the market.Investors should note that AAPL traded at FCF yields as high as 11.8% over the past ten years. So, its current FCF yield of 4.64% is nowhere near those levels.Is AAPL Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?We revise our rating on AAPL from Buy to Hold. While AAPL could maintain its near-term support and hold its June lows, we are convinced it could underperform the market.Therefore, it's better to reallocate capital to other well-beaten down tech stocks that could outperform, given the prolonged bear market in growth stocks.Also, our price action analysis indicates that AAPL has moved decisively into a bearish bias. Therefore, the market could use its current consolidation to distribute the stock further before setting up another bull trap to force a steeper sell-off.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":80,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042431714,"gmtCreate":1656511599538,"gmtModify":1676535842804,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>Hello.&nbsp;Wake up&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>Hello.&nbsp;Wake up&nbsp;","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$Hello.

Concern over a slowing economy and aggressive rate hikes consumed much of the first half of 2022, and fears of a recession fears are rising.“We expect significant volatility this summer, with ‘face-ripping’ short-covering rallies followed by economically-inspired market slumps,” Well Fargo senior equity analyst Christopher Harvey said in a note Wednesday. “While a much anticipated market ‘washout’ could catalyze a more sustained move higher, we think the market will not sustain a rally until it believes the Fed will toggle from a 50-75bp tightening to a more mundane 25bp increase.”The S&P 500, which is down about 20% in 2022, is on pace for its worst first half of the year since 1970, when the index lost 21.01%. Meanwhile, on a quarterly basis, both the Dow and S&P 500 are on track for their worst performance since 2020. The Nasdaq is headed toward its worst three-month period since 2008.In early trading Wednesday, Pinterest shares jumped more than 4% onnews that CEO Ben Silbermann is stepping down.General Mills shares rose more than 2% after the company topped earnings and revenue forecasts for its most recent quarter.Carnival Corp slid 9% after Morgan Stanley cut its price target on the stock in half and said it could potentially go to zero in the face of another demand shock. The call dragged other cruise stocks lower. Royal Carribean lost 4% and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings fell 3%.Bed Bath & Beyond shares plummeted more than 14% after the companyposted a huge miss on quarterly earningsand revenue expectations and announced its CEO is stepping down.Meanwhile, On Wednesday Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester said shewill advocate for a 75 basis point hiketo interest rates at the central bank’s July meeting if economic conditions remain the same by then.“I haven’t seen the kind of numbers on the inflation side that I need to see in order to think that we can go back to a 50 increase,” she told CNBC.Investors are also looking ahead to comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at the European Central Bank forum.Earnings from Bed Bath & Beyond, General Mills and McCormick are also on deck.Wednesday’s moves followed steep losses for the major averages the day before. The Dow fell more than 1.5% on Tuesday, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite slid 2% and 3%, respectively. The benchmarks all started the session with strong gains, but disappointing consumer confidence data halted those advances and sent stocks tumbling.“As long as the sell-off is orderly,” the Fed is “not concerned with the level of stock prices,” Guggenheim Partners’ Global CIO Scott Minerd told CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime” on Tuesday. “The bottom line is until we see some amount of panic here or something that gets the central bankers concerned, they are just ‘hellbent’ to get inflation under control.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":147221528,"gmtCreate":1626360294364,"gmtModify":1703758705355,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$Amazon.com(AMZN)$</a>Retreat from the new high&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$Amazon.com(AMZN)$</a>Retreat from the new high&nbsp;","text":"$Amazon.com(AMZN)$Retreat from the new high","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb45bf054c0d87c9db01bdb8a7d4d149","width":"750","height":"1068"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/147221528","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576119828469182","authorId":"3576119828469182","name":"Bentyl88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/147cb440ad985e6266c4f10d41de0862","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3576119828469182","authorIdStr":"3576119828469182"},"content":"CaNt seem to Hold above 3700","text":"CaNt seem to Hold above 3700","html":"CaNt seem to Hold above 3700"}],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895080626,"gmtCreate":1628694187465,"gmtModify":1676529824790,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Careful for PRC shares.

A stock that doubled in value was known as a \"two-bagger,\" while a stock that rose 20 times was called a \"20-bagger.\"</p>\n<p>Growth-oriented investors often seek out multibagger stocks in the tech sector, which has more than its fair share of high-growth and disruptive companies. It might seem tough to find the next big multibagger in this diverse sector, but studying a few stocks that previously crossed that threshold might help investors identify the upcoming winners.</p>\n<p>Let's examine three tech stocks that turned a modest $10,000 investment into more than $500,000 -- and what lessons we can glean from their massive multibagger gains.</p>\n<h2>1. Baidu: Turning $10,000 into more than $600,000</h2>\n<p><b>Baidu</b> (NASDAQ:BIDU), the Chinese tech company that owns the country's largest search engine, went public in 2005. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO, your stake would be worth over $600,000 today.</p>\n<p>Between fiscal 2005 and 2010, Baidu's annual revenue rose at a whopping compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 97.8%. The growth of the Chinese economy, rising income levels, and higher internet penetration rates drove that growth, and Baidu solidified its position as the online search leader in 2010 after <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google pulled out of mainland China.</p>\n<p>Between 2010 and 2015, Baidu's annual revenue grew at a CAGR of 53.6% as it expanded its ecosystem beyond its search engine with new mobile apps and cloud storage services.</p>\n<p>But between 2015 and 2020, Baidu's revenue only rose at a CAGR of 9.9%, as tighter restrictions on its online ads, rising competition from monolithic apps like <b>Tencent</b>'s WeChat, and the slowdown of China's economy throttled its growth. The pandemic exacerbated that pain last year, and Baidu remains exposed to the Chinese government's escalating crackdown on its top tech companies.</p>\n<p>As a result, Baidu's stock price has declined about 40% over the past six months and has stayed roughly flat over the past five years. That dismal return indicates high-growth multibagger stocks like Baidu can lose their momentum as their core markets mature, new competitors enter the market, and government regulators change the rules of the game.</p>\n<h2>2. Shopify: Turning $10,000 into nearly $900,000</h2>\n<p><b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP), a Canadian e-commerce services company that enables businesses to build their own online stores, fulfill their own orders, and manage their own marketing campaigns, went public in 2015. A $10,000 investment in its IPO would be worth nearly $900,000 today.</p>\n<p>Shopify grew like a weed because many smaller businesses didn't want to tether themselves to big online marketplaces like<b> Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), which rein in their sellers with listing fees and restrictive rules. That transition accelerated throughout the pandemic last year as more businesses opened online stores.</p>\n<p>Shopify's revenue rose at a CAGR of 70.2% between 2015 and 2020. The stock has risen more than 30% this year, even as concerns about slower online spending in a post-pandemic market battered other e-commerce stocks -- and investors continue to pay a premium for Shopify's growth at over 40 times this year's sales.</p>\n<p>Unlike Baidu, Shopify doesn't yet face any existential challenges. Its decentralized e-commerce approach continues to disrupt Amazon's centralized platform, and it could have plenty of room to grow over the long term as more offline merchants bring their businesses online.</p>\n<h2>3. Nvidia: Turning $10,000 into $8.16 million</h2>\n<p><b>Nvidia</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA), the world's largest producer of discrete GPUs for computers, servers, and video game consoles, went public in 1999. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO back then, your initial investment would now be worth nearly $8.2 million.</p>\n<p>Nvidia experienced a massive growth spurt over the past five years, as demand for its gaming and data center GPUs hit record levels. A new generation of PC games lifted sales of its gaming GPUs, while new AI applications at data centers sparked fierce demand for its high-end server GPUs.</p>\n<p>Higher cryptocurrency prices also periodically boosted sales of Nvidia's gaming GPUs for mining purposes, and it sold more Arm-based Tegra CPUs for connected cars and<b> Nintendo</b>'s Switch consoles.</p>\n<p>Those tailwinds, along with its acquisition of the data center equipment maker Mellanox last April, boosted Nvidia's annual revenue at a CAGR of 27.2% between fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2021.</p>\n<p>Nvidia remains <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the market's fastest-growing chipmakers, even as its proposed acquisition of Arm Holdings remains on thin ice. It continues to widen its lead against <b>Advanced Micro Devices </b>in the discrete GPU market, and it remains a solid investment on the secular growth of the gaming, data center, and AI markets.</p>\n<p>Nvidia's stock price has rallied more than 50% this year, yet its stock still looks surprisingly cheap at 12 times forward earnings. Therefore, Nvidia's stock could still have plenty of room to run -- even if the regulators strike down its ambitious takeover of Arm Holdings.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Tech Stocks That Turned $10,000 Into Over $500,000</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Tech Stocks That Turned $10,000 Into Over $500,000\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-11 21:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/10/3-tech-stocks-that-turned-10000-into-over-500000/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The legendary investor Peter Lynch coined the term \"multibagger\" in his evergreen investing book One Up on Wall Street to describe stocks that have more than doubled in price.

(NIO) is one of China's leading EV players, and has, through an attractive brand and its unique BaaS offering, attracted a lot of interest from consumers and investors. Today, however, the company is still way smaller than Tesla (TSLA), which is currently leading the global EV market. NIO is focused on its home market right now, which was true when Tesla was a smaller company as well, but NIO will try to grab market share in overseas markets as well. Shares are pricing in a lot of growth already, but if NIO can replicate Tesla's success, that could be more than justified.</p>\n<p><b>NIO And TSLA Stock Prices</b></p>\n<p>Both companies have benefitted from growing interest in EVs during 2020, a trend that saw share prices of most EV pureplays rise rapidly. The combination of growing market share for EVs, accommodating policies such as subsidies for EV purchases, and massive monetary stimulus let shares of NIO and TSLA rise rapidly. NIO is up 245% over the last year, while TSLA is up 101% over the same time. Both companies are currently trading below their all-time highs, however, which were hit in early 2021 before market sentiment for EV pureplays cooled to some degree.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ff5ce865807df85283775d2293b41af\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Taking a quick look at analyst price targets, we see that Tesla is trading almost perfectly in line with the consensus, whereas NIO trades about 30% below the analyst target. If the analyst community is right, then NIO is a substantially better investment right here, as Tesla is not expected to see its shares rise meaningfully over the next year, whereas NIO has significant upside to the analyst price target.</p>\n<p><b>Is NIO Similar To Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that question depends on what you focus on. There are similarities between the two companies, but there are also differences. One could thus say that, in some ways, the two are similar, but in others, they are not. Let's look at a couple of things:</p>\n<p><b>Business Model</b></p>\n<p>Both companies are focused on the EV space, although Tesla has, over the years, been building out a couple of other businesses as well, such as energy storage. Most of Tesla's revenues are generated through selling electric vehicles, which is also how NIO operates. Both companies are focused on the premium segment of EVs, selling higher-priced vehicles that compete with brands such as BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. Both companies offer a small range of different vehicles, in Tesla's case those are the well-known S, X, 3, and Y, whereas NIO offers a sedan (ET7), and three SUVs (EC6, ES6, ES8). Despite the fact that NIO is a way smaller company today, the model lineups of the two companies do thus not differ too much.</p>\n<p>Both companies offer some type of charging infrastructure to their customers, in Tesla's case, that's the Supercharger network, where Tesla owners can charge their cars with up to 250kW, depending on what version of Supercharger is installed. NIO is following a different approach, offering a battery-as-a-service solution to its customers. NIO owners can get their battery switched out to a fully-charged battery at NIO's stations, a process that takes a couple of minutes and is thus significantly quicker compared to the regular EV charging offered by Tesla and other EV players. BaaS thus has advantages when it comes to the time it takes for a charge/swap, but it should be noted that Tesla's Superchargers are way more common around the world compared to NIO's battery-swapping stations. Rolling out that feature in additional markets will require large capital expenditures, but NIO's offering is a unique selling point compared to what all other EV players, including Tesla, are offering. It remains to be seen whether that will ultimately pay off, but this could become a major advantage for NIO as competition in the EV space is heating up.</p>\n<p><b>Size, growth, and valuation</b></p>\n<p>The two companies differ significantly in size, both when it comes to revenues and vehicle sales, as well as when it comes to the market value of the two companies. NIO has delivered22,000 vehicles in Q2, up 112% year over year, for an annual pace of around 90,000 vehicles. Tesla, meanwhile, has delivered 201,000 vehicles during Q2, up from 103,000 vehicles delivered during Q2 2020. This is strong growth on a year-over-year basis, although slightly below 100%, and thus below the growth rate that NIO is generating for now.</p>\n<p>Tesla delivers around 9x as many vehicles compared to NIO per quarter, when we look at the market capitalizations of the two companies, we see that the ratio is almost exactly the same, as Tesla's market cap of $640 billion is ~9x as high as that of NIO, at $72 billion. At similar growth rates, that would make perfect sense, but it looks like NIO might be the better deal for now, as it trades at a comparable valuation while generating better growth. This will be especially true in the coming quarters, where Tesla's growth is expected to slow down:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a986ea65130206f99961a46ce6cfed55\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is forecasted to grow its revenue from $49 billion in 2021 to $83 billion in 2023, for an annual growth rate of 30%. NIO, meanwhile, is expected to see its revenue explode upwards from $5.4 billion to $12.8 billion between 2021 and 2023, for an annual growth rate of 54%. NIO is thus expected to grow way faster than Tesla over the next two years, on a relative basis. This shouldn't be a surprise, to be honest, as the law of large numbers dictates that maintaining massive growth rates becomes increasingly hard for a company the bigger it gets, and Tesla seems to have hit that point by now -- adding 50%+ a year to its top line will not be possible forever. This isn't even necessarily Tesla's fault, in fact, many high-quality growth companies have experienced the same. But investors should still consider this important fact -- Tesla's growth in coming years will be less exciting compared to what we have seen in the past, and peers, such as NIO, are growing faster.</p>\n<p>The same holds true when we take a longer-term view. Revenue estimates for 2025 rest at$22.6 billionfor NIO, up another 80% from the 2023 estimate, and up 320% from what analysts are forecasting for 2021. Tesla, meanwhile, is forecasted to generate revenues of $122.5 billion in 2025 -- a large number, but up by a comparatively weak 48% from 2023, and up by a total of 150% versus 2021. Between 2021 and 2025, NIO will thus 4x its revenue, while Tesla will 2.5x its revenue in the same time span -- a meaningful difference that should, all else equal, allow for a premium valuation for NIO, in the same way Tesla deserves a premium valuation versus legacy players such as Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY).</p>\n<p>Looking at revenue estimates for 2025 relative to how the two companies are valued today, we see that NIO trades at 3.2x 2025 sales, while the 2025 sales multiple for Tesla is 5.2. For a long-term oriented investor, NIO thus seems like the better value today, thanks to the fact that it is trading at a significantly lower sales multiple when we take a look into the future. This does not necessarily mean that NIO is cheap, however, as even a 3.2x 2025 sales multiple is relatively high compared to how legacy auto companies are valued. NIO is looking less expensive than Tesla, however, even if its shares are not cheap on an absolute basis.</p>\n<p><b>Can NIO Be Worth As Much As Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>The answer to that depends on what time frame you are looking at. Today, NIO is significantly smaller than Tesla and thus rightfully trades at a way smaller market cap. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee that Tesla's shares are a great example of how an EV company should be valued -- it is, at least, possible that its shares are significantly&nbsp;overpriced&nbsp;today, I personally believe that as well (Note that some will argue that shares are&nbsp;underpriced, which is also among the possibilities, although I do not hold that belief personally).</p>\n<p>When we do, for a moment, assume that Tesla is correctly valued today and that EV companies do deserve a market cap in the $600 billion range when they sell about 800,000 vehicles a year, then NIO could eventually hit that as well, although not in the near term. NIO will sell about 90,000 vehicles this year, and that amount should grow to about 400,000 in 2025. If NIO were to grow its sales by 15% a year beyond that point, it could sell around 800,000 cars in 2030, or 9 years from now. If one wants to assume faster growth, the 800,000 vehicles a year line could also be crossed before 2030, e.g. in 2028 or 2029. If we do go with 2030 for now, then NIO could, at a similar deliveries-to-market capitalization ratio to Tesla, be valued at $600+ billion in 2030. In other words, NIO could be worth as much as Tesla (today) in nine years, when we assume that current growth projections are realistic and that a Tesla-like valuation is appropriate. Those are two major ifs, of course, and especially the second point is far from certain, I believe. I personally would not be too surprised to see Tesla's valuation compress, and thus NIO could trade well below the $600 billion market cap level in 2030, even if it continues to grow meaningfully. It is also possible that NIO's growth disappoints and that current projections are too bullish, although I think that NIO is well-positioned for growth thanks to its unique BaaS model and its strong brand that is especially well-recognized in its home market.</p>\n<p>It should also be noted that Tesla's market cap in 2030 could be very different from $600 billion, thus even in case NIO hits that level, it is not at all guaranteed that the two companies will have a similar market cap. Tesla might be valued at a way higher valuation by then, e.g. if the ARK model is right (something I personally think is unlikely). To answer the above question, one could thus say that NIO might be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, like Tesla, in 8-10 years, but that is not at all guaranteed. And even if that were to happen, Tesla might be worth significantly more by then.</p>\n<p><b>Is NIO A Good Stock To Buy Or Sell Now?</b></p>\n<p>When considering NIO as an investment, it doesn't really matter all that much whether it will become as large or highly valued as Tesla eventually. Instead, investors should ask themselves what total returns they can expect over the next couple of years, and whether those expected returns are high enough relative to the risks in NIO's business model. Regarding those risks, one should mention the fact that the company isn't profitable yet, which means that NIO is dependent on cash on its balance sheet for growth investments. On top of that, competition in the EV space is growing, and market share battles could pressure margins in coming years, although NIO seems relatively well-positioned thanks to its battery-swapping, which is, I believe, a strong USP. Last but not least, the company's dependence on its home market China is a potential risk that should be kept in mind, although it should also be noted that, for now, it seems like the Chinese government is very accommodating to Chinese EV companies.</p>\n<p>One could argue that valuations across the whole EV industry are too high, relative to how legacy auto companies are valued. Even those legacy players with attractive EV offerings such as Volkswagen or Ford trade at huge discounts compared to EV pureplays. But if one wants to invest in an EV pureplay, NIO doesn't seem like a bad choice. The company combines a strong brand, a unique BaaS offering, high growth rates, and shares trade at a discount compared to how the EV king Tesla is valued. At a little above 3x 2025 revenue, NIO does not seem overly expensive relative to other EV pureplays, although this still represents a premium versus legacy players, of course. If NIO manages to execute well and continues to roll out new models that are well-received by consumers, its shares could have significant upside potential in the long run. If EV stocks ever become an out-of-favor investment, NIO stock also could have considerable downside, however, this thus is not a low-risk pick. Depending on your risk tolerance, NIO could still be of value if you want a high-growth EV pureplay.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Will NIO Stock Follow Tesla's Footsteps?

Investors should also consider NIO's valuation versus legacy car companies.\n\nipopba/iStock via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nNIO, Inc. (NIO) is one of China's leading EV players, and has, through an attractive brand and its unique BaaS offering, attracted a lot of interest from consumers and investors. Today, however, the company is still way smaller than Tesla (TSLA), which is currently leading the global EV market. NIO is focused on its home market right now, which was true when Tesla was a smaller company as well, but NIO will try to grab market share in overseas markets as well. Shares are pricing in a lot of growth already, but if NIO can replicate Tesla's success, that could be more than justified.\nNIO And TSLA Stock Prices\nBoth companies have benefitted from growing interest in EVs during 2020, a trend that saw share prices of most EV pureplays rise rapidly. The combination of growing market share for EVs, accommodating policies such as subsidies for EV purchases, and massive monetary stimulus let shares of NIO and TSLA rise rapidly. NIO is up 245% over the last year, while TSLA is up 101% over the same time. Both companies are currently trading below their all-time highs, however, which were hit in early 2021 before market sentiment for EV pureplays cooled to some degree.\nData by YCharts\nTaking a quick look at analyst price targets, we see that Tesla is trading almost perfectly in line with the consensus, whereas NIO trades about 30% below the analyst target. If the analyst community is right, then NIO is a substantially better investment right here, as Tesla is not expected to see its shares rise meaningfully over the next year, whereas NIO has significant upside to the analyst price target.\nIs NIO Similar To Tesla?\nThe answer to that question depends on what you focus on. There are similarities between the two companies, but there are also differences. One could thus say that, in some ways, the two are similar, but in others, they are not. Let's look at a couple of things:\nBusiness Model\nBoth companies are focused on the EV space, although Tesla has, over the years, been building out a couple of other businesses as well, such as energy storage. Most of Tesla's revenues are generated through selling electric vehicles, which is also how NIO operates. Both companies are focused on the premium segment of EVs, selling higher-priced vehicles that compete with brands such as BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. Both companies offer a small range of different vehicles, in Tesla's case those are the well-known S, X, 3, and Y, whereas NIO offers a sedan (ET7), and three SUVs (EC6, ES6, ES8). Despite the fact that NIO is a way smaller company today, the model lineups of the two companies do thus not differ too much.\nBoth companies offer some type of charging infrastructure to their customers, in Tesla's case, that's the Supercharger network, where Tesla owners can charge their cars with up to 250kW, depending on what version of Supercharger is installed. NIO is following a different approach, offering a battery-as-a-service solution to its customers. NIO owners can get their battery switched out to a fully-charged battery at NIO's stations, a process that takes a couple of minutes and is thus significantly quicker compared to the regular EV charging offered by Tesla and other EV players. BaaS thus has advantages when it comes to the time it takes for a charge/swap, but it should be noted that Tesla's Superchargers are way more common around the world compared to NIO's battery-swapping stations. Rolling out that feature in additional markets will require large capital expenditures, but NIO's offering is a unique selling point compared to what all other EV players, including Tesla, are offering. It remains to be seen whether that will ultimately pay off, but this could become a major advantage for NIO as competition in the EV space is heating up.\nSize, growth, and valuation\nThe two companies differ significantly in size, both when it comes to revenues and vehicle sales, as well as when it comes to the market value of the two companies. NIO has delivered22,000 vehicles in Q2, up 112% year over year, for an annual pace of around 90,000 vehicles. Tesla, meanwhile, has delivered 201,000 vehicles during Q2, up from 103,000 vehicles delivered during Q2 2020. This is strong growth on a year-over-year basis, although slightly below 100%, and thus below the growth rate that NIO is generating for now.\nTesla delivers around 9x as many vehicles compared to NIO per quarter, when we look at the market capitalizations of the two companies, we see that the ratio is almost exactly the same, as Tesla's market cap of $640 billion is ~9x as high as that of NIO, at $72 billion. At similar growth rates, that would make perfect sense, but it looks like NIO might be the better deal for now, as it trades at a comparable valuation while generating better growth. This will be especially true in the coming quarters, where Tesla's growth is expected to slow down:\nData by YCharts\nTesla is forecasted to grow its revenue from $49 billion in 2021 to $83 billion in 2023, for an annual growth rate of 30%. NIO, meanwhile, is expected to see its revenue explode upwards from $5.4 billion to $12.8 billion between 2021 and 2023, for an annual growth rate of 54%. NIO is thus expected to grow way faster than Tesla over the next two years, on a relative basis. This shouldn't be a surprise, to be honest, as the law of large numbers dictates that maintaining massive growth rates becomes increasingly hard for a company the bigger it gets, and Tesla seems to have hit that point by now -- adding 50%+ a year to its top line will not be possible forever. This isn't even necessarily Tesla's fault, in fact, many high-quality growth companies have experienced the same. But investors should still consider this important fact -- Tesla's growth in coming years will be less exciting compared to what we have seen in the past, and peers, such as NIO, are growing faster.\nThe same holds true when we take a longer-term view. Revenue estimates for 2025 rest at$22.6 billionfor NIO, up another 80% from the 2023 estimate, and up 320% from what analysts are forecasting for 2021. Tesla, meanwhile, is forecasted to generate revenues of $122.5 billion in 2025 -- a large number, but up by a comparatively weak 48% from 2023, and up by a total of 150% versus 2021. Between 2021 and 2025, NIO will thus 4x its revenue, while Tesla will 2.5x its revenue in the same time span -- a meaningful difference that should, all else equal, allow for a premium valuation for NIO, in the same way Tesla deserves a premium valuation versus legacy players such as Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY).\nLooking at revenue estimates for 2025 relative to how the two companies are valued today, we see that NIO trades at 3.2x 2025 sales, while the 2025 sales multiple for Tesla is 5.2. For a long-term oriented investor, NIO thus seems like the better value today, thanks to the fact that it is trading at a significantly lower sales multiple when we take a look into the future. This does not necessarily mean that NIO is cheap, however, as even a 3.2x 2025 sales multiple is relatively high compared to how legacy auto companies are valued. NIO is looking less expensive than Tesla, however, even if its shares are not cheap on an absolute basis.\nCan NIO Be Worth As Much As Tesla?\nThe answer to that depends on what time frame you are looking at. Today, NIO is significantly smaller than Tesla and thus rightfully trades at a way smaller market cap. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee that Tesla's shares are a great example of how an EV company should be valued -- it is, at least, possible that its shares are significantly overpriced today, I personally believe that as well (Note that some will argue that shares are underpriced, which is also among the possibilities, although I do not hold that belief personally).\nWhen we do, for a moment, assume that Tesla is correctly valued today and that EV companies do deserve a market cap in the $600 billion range when they sell about 800,000 vehicles a year, then NIO could eventually hit that as well, although not in the near term. NIO will sell about 90,000 vehicles this year, and that amount should grow to about 400,000 in 2025. If NIO were to grow its sales by 15% a year beyond that point, it could sell around 800,000 cars in 2030, or 9 years from now. If one wants to assume faster growth, the 800,000 vehicles a year line could also be crossed before 2030, e.g. in 2028 or 2029. If we do go with 2030 for now, then NIO could, at a similar deliveries-to-market capitalization ratio to Tesla, be valued at $600+ billion in 2030. In other words, NIO could be worth as much as Tesla (today) in nine years, when we assume that current growth projections are realistic and that a Tesla-like valuation is appropriate. Those are two major ifs, of course, and especially the second point is far from certain, I believe. I personally would not be too surprised to see Tesla's valuation compress, and thus NIO could trade well below the $600 billion market cap level in 2030, even if it continues to grow meaningfully. It is also possible that NIO's growth disappoints and that current projections are too bullish, although I think that NIO is well-positioned for growth thanks to its unique BaaS model and its strong brand that is especially well-recognized in its home market.\nIt should also be noted that Tesla's market cap in 2030 could be very different from $600 billion, thus even in case NIO hits that level, it is not at all guaranteed that the two companies will have a similar market cap. Tesla might be valued at a way higher valuation by then, e.g. if the ARK model is right (something I personally think is unlikely). To answer the above question, one could thus say that NIO might be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, like Tesla, in 8-10 years, but that is not at all guaranteed. And even if that were to happen, Tesla might be worth significantly more by then.\nIs NIO A Good Stock To Buy Or Sell Now?\nWhen considering NIO as an investment, it doesn't really matter all that much whether it will become as large or highly valued as Tesla eventually. Instead, investors should ask themselves what total returns they can expect over the next couple of years, and whether those expected returns are high enough relative to the risks in NIO's business model.

Even those legacy players with attractive EV offerings such as Volkswagen or Ford trade at huge discounts compared to EV pureplays. But if one wants to invest in an EV pureplay, NIO doesn't seem like a bad choice. The company combines a strong brand, a unique BaaS offering, high growth rates, and shares trade at a discount compared to how the EV king Tesla is valued. At a little above 3x 2025 revenue, NIO does not seem overly expensive relative to other EV pureplays, although this still represents a premium versus legacy players, of course.

Depending on your risk tolerance, NIO could still be of value if you want a high-growth EV pureplay.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3557997848207595","authorId":"3557997848207595","name":"Sorrie2u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/61cbe83d2927cba11b9b940c52c7e69e","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3557997848207595","authorIdStr":"3557997848207595"},"content":"nope way off","text":"nope way off","html":"nope way off"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143682116,"gmtCreate":1625791807735,"gmtModify":1703748570634,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time for Pfizer to pick up !","listText":"Time for Pfizer to pick up !","text":"Time for Pfizer to pick up !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/143682116","repostId":"1141664359","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141664359","pubTimestamp":1625786702,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1141664359?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-09 07:25","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Pfizer says it is developing a Covid booster shot to target the highly transmissible delta variant","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141664359","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nPfizer and BioNTech announced Thursday they are developing a Covid-19 booster shot inten","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nPfizer and BioNTech announced Thursday they are developing a Covid-19 booster shot intended to target the delta variant.\nClinical studies could begin as early as August, subject to ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/08/pfizer-says-it-is-developing-a-covid-booster-shot-to-target-the-highly-transmissible-delta-variant.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The agency is already seeing increasing rates of infection in those areas due to the further spread of the delta variant.\nExecutives from Pfizer and BioNtech have repeatedly said people will likely need a booster shot, or third dose, within 12 months of getting fully vaccinated because they expect vaccine-induced immunity to wane over time. They also said it’s likely people will need to get additional shots each year.\nPfizer and BioNTech are developing booster shots and are expected to shortly seek U.S. authorization for a third dose of its vaccine.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":22,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890881687,"gmtCreate":1628091716449,"gmtModify":1703501157081,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Hi baba!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Hi baba!","text":"$Alibaba(BABA)$Hi baba!","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/924fbceb1c0a5b4c26a7f2d77572949e","width":"750","height":"1068"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890881687","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9087855240,"gmtCreate":1650989835098,"gmtModify":1676534829210,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple sales 🥹","listText":"Apple sales 🥹","text":"Apple sales 🥹","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9087855240","repostId":"2230510690","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2230510690","pubTimestamp":1650977251,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2230510690?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-26 20:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Top Stocks to Buy During a Sell-Off","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2230510690","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These stocks have fallen sharply this year but offer compelling long-term prospects.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Year to date, the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>has fallen by more than 11% as stock traders weigh multiple concerns, including potential slowing economies in the U.S. and elsewhere, elevated gas prices, and rising interest rates needed to tame elevated inflation.

Apple</h2><p><b>Apple</b> is one of the companies caught up in the broader tech stock sell off, with its stock down by almost 10% so far this year. The stock has also been affected by reports of supply chain issues, but this should prove temporary. After all, people still clamor for Apple&#39;s products.</p><p>In its fiscal 2022 first quarter (ended Dec. 25, 2021), revenue grew by 11.2% to $123.9 billion. Due to chip shortages and manufacturing issues, this growth rate was lower than in previous quarters, including 28.8% year-over-year growth reported in the previous quarter. Although it&#39;s troubling to lose sales, these issues have nothing to do with slowing demand. In fact, demand was so strong that Apple couldn&#39;t meet it.</p><p>Meanwhile, Apple regularly updates its iPhone, coming out with a version 13 lineup last year, and consumers rushed out to buy it. In its latest fiscal year, which ended on Sept. 25, 2021, iPhone sales rose by 39.3% to $192 billion. And Apple has an exciting future with new products, including a potentially self-driving car, coming down the pike. We will find out more about its performance when Apple reports Q2 earnings on Thursday, April 28.</p><h2>2. Amazon</h2><p><b>Amazon</b>&#39;s share price has dropped by 13.7% so far in 2022. While there have been concerns raised about its near-term retail performance, it will undoubtedly rebound as the company continues to focus on value and fast delivery.</p><p>In 2021, sales rose by 21.7% to $469.8 billion. But growth slowed later in the year, with a top-line increase of 9.4% in the fourth quarter. Management expects 4.5% to 9.5% sales growth in the first quarter, excluding foreign exchange translations. It anticipates operating income, not counting an accounting change, to fall by 38% to $5.5 billion at the midpoint of management&#39;s guidance.</p><p>Like other retailers, Amazon continues to confront supply chain issues and higher costs. These issues should prove to be temporary. Management has also offset some of the elevated expenses by raising the price of its very popular Prime subscription. Subscribers will be asked this year to start paying $139 a year, a $20 boost in the annual cost. The higher price will help to offset the cost of added content Amazon gained with its acquisition of MGM Studios.</p><p>Amazon has become far more than an online marketplace. Its Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a dominant 32% share of the cloud-computing market. As companies clamor for data, this has become a fast-growing, high-margin business. Last year, AWS&#39; sales grew by 37.1% to $62.2 billion, driving operating income 37% higher to $18.5 billion. Its 29.8% margin dwarfs the North American and international divisions&#39; typical single-digit operating margin.</p><p>Aside from AWS, Amazon also generates an impressive amount of sales from advertising. In the fourth quarter, ad revenue grew by 33% year over year to $9.7 billion.</p><p>Amazon will report fiscal 2022 first-quarter earnings on April 28.</p><h2>3. Lowe&#39;s</h2><p><b>Lowe&#39;s</b> stock is off to a rough start in 2022, down nearly 24%. Investors appear to be concerned that the red-hot housing market could cool as interest rates increase, which could affect Lowe&#39;s sales. But long-term investors should view this as an opportunity.</p><p>In fiscal 2021 (which ended Jan. 28), same-store sales (comps) increased by 6.9%, and operating margin expanded by 1.8 percentage points to 12.6%. For Fiscal 2022, management said it expects flattish comps, although it anticipates operating margin to expand to the 12.8% to 13% range.</p><p>That&#39;s not too disappointing considering fiscal 2021 was a banner year. But demand doesn&#39;t fall off a cliff just because the housing market slows down, and Lowe&#39;s results will undoubtedly rebound when the cycle turns. For instance, during the Great Recession that ran from 2007 to 2009, comps fell by between 5% and 7%. However, the following year, sales rebounded with comps increasing by 1.3%. Lowe&#39;s will next report earnings on May 17.</p><p>Meanwhile, Lowe&#39;s investors can collect the reliable and ever-increasing dividends the company generates, even if results temporarily falter. Lowe&#39;s is a Dividend King, raising annual dividend payments for 59 straight years. That includes some tough economic periods. It seems like a good bet that the board of directors will see fit to increase dividends again this year. Lowe&#39;s stock has a 1.6% dividend yield.</p><h2>Investor takeaway</h2><p>While blindly buying certain stocks merely because they&#39;re down isn&#39;t a wise strategy, the stock for Apple, Amazon, and Lowe&#39;s each offer compelling long-term prospects. Their issues will prove a temporary bump in the road, making their recent price drops a good buying opportunity.</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>3 Top Stocks to Buy During a Sell-Off</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Top Stocks to Buy During a Sell-Off\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-26 20:47 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/26/3-top-stocks-to-buy-during-a-sell-off/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Year to date, the S&P 500 has fallen by more than 11% as stock traders weigh multiple concerns, including potential slowing economies in the U.S. and elsewhere, elevated gas prices, and rising ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/26/3-top-stocks-to-buy-during-a-sell-off/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4581":"高盛持仓","BK4505":"高瓴资本持仓","BK4512":"苹果概念","LOW":"劳氏","BK4548":"巴美列捷福持仓","BK4170":"电脑硬件、储存设备及电脑周边","BK4532":"文艺复兴科技持仓","BK4554":"元宇宙及AR概念","BK4515":"5G概念","BK4553":"喜马拉雅资本持仓","BK4507":"流媒体概念","BK4571":"数字音乐概念","BK4534":"瑞士信贷持仓","BK4576":"AR","BK4533":"AQR资本管理(全球第二大对冲基金)","BK4575":"芯片概念","BK4566":"资本集团","BK4535":"淡马锡持仓","BK4524":"宅经济概念","BK4501":"段永平概念","BK4561":"索罗斯持仓","BK4538":"云计算","BK4559":"巴菲特持仓","BK4527":"明星科技股","BK4550":"红杉资本持仓","BK4579":"人工智能","BK4503":"景林资产持仓","BK4574":"无人驾驶","BK4551":"寇图资本持仓","AAPL":"苹果","BK4573":"虚拟现实"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/26/3-top-stocks-to-buy-during-a-sell-off/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2230510690","content_text":"Year to date, the S&P 500 has fallen by more than 11% as stock traders weigh multiple concerns, including potential slowing economies in the U.S. and elsewhere, elevated gas prices, and rising interest rates needed to tame elevated inflation.

In its latest fiscal year, which ended on Sept. 25, 2021, iPhone sales rose by 39.3% to $192 billion. And Apple has an exciting future with new products, including a potentially self-driving car, coming down the pike. We will find out more about its performance when Apple reports Q2 earnings on Thursday, April 28.2. AmazonAmazon's share price has dropped by 13.7% so far in 2022. While there have been concerns raised about its near-term retail performance, it will undoubtedly rebound as the company continues to focus on value and fast delivery.In 2021, sales rose by 21.7% to $469.8 billion. But growth slowed later in the year, with a top-line increase of 9.4% in the fourth quarter. Management expects 4.5% to 9.5% sales growth in the first quarter, excluding foreign exchange translations. It anticipates operating income, not counting an accounting change, to fall by 38% to $5.5 billion at the midpoint of management's guidance.Like other retailers, Amazon continues to confront supply chain issues and higher costs. These issues should prove to be temporary. Management has also offset some of the elevated expenses by raising the price of its very popular Prime subscription. Subscribers will be asked this year to start paying $139 a year, a $20 boost in the annual cost. The higher price will help to offset the cost of added content Amazon gained with its acquisition of MGM Studios.Amazon has become far more than an online marketplace. Its Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a dominant 32% share of the cloud-computing market. As companies clamor for data, this has become a fast-growing, high-margin business. Last year, AWS' sales grew by 37.1% to $62.2 billion, driving operating income 37% higher to $18.5 billion. Its 29.8% margin dwarfs the North American and international divisions' typical single-digit operating margin.Aside from AWS, Amazon also generates an impressive amount of sales from advertising. In the fourth quarter, ad revenue grew by 33% year over year to $9.7 billion.Amazon will report fiscal 2022 first-quarter earnings on April 28.3. Lowe'sLowe's stock is off to a rough start in 2022, down nearly 24%. Investors appear to be concerned that the red-hot housing market could cool as interest rates increase, which could affect Lowe's sales. But long-term investors should view this as an opportunity.In fiscal 2021 (which ended Jan. 28), same-store sales (comps) increased by 6.9%, and operating margin expanded by 1.8 percentage points to 12.6%. For Fiscal 2022, management said it expects flattish comps, although it anticipates operating margin to expand to the 12.8% to 13% range.That's not too disappointing considering fiscal 2021 was a banner year. But demand doesn't fall off a cliff just because the housing market slows down, and Lowe's results will undoubtedly rebound when the cycle turns. For instance, during the Great Recession that ran from 2007 to 2009, comps fell by between 5% and 7%. However, the following year, sales rebounded with comps increasing by 1.3%. Lowe's will next report earnings on May 17.Meanwhile, Lowe's investors can collect the reliable and ever-increasing dividends the company generates, even if results temporarily falter. Lowe's is a Dividend King, raising annual dividend payments for 59 straight years. That includes some tough economic periods. It seems like a good bet that the board of directors will see fit to increase dividends again this year. Lowe's stock has a 1.6% dividend yield.Investor takeawayWhile blindly buying certain stocks merely because they're down isn't a wise strategy, the stock for Apple, Amazon, and Lowe's each offer compelling long-term prospects. Their issues will prove a temporary bump in the road, making their recent price drops a good buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":224,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812524764,"gmtCreate":1630595917758,"gmtModify":1676530352849,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Everything bubble.

Extremely High Asset Valuations</b></p>\n<p>Informed investors know that we are currently in an “Everything Bubble” driven by massive and persistent central bank money creation. Virtually every major financial asset is overvalued and priced to deliver low - or even negative - long-term returns.</p>\n<p>For example, the Shiller P/E Ratio shown below is 30% higher than it was at the 1929 peak and is nearly as high as the all-time high in 2000. TheShiller P/E Ratiowas created by economist Robert Shiller and is calculated as the price of the S&amp;P 500 divided by the average past 10 years of earnings, adjusted for inflation. It attempts to smooth the cyclicality of earnings. Historically, high Shiller P/E Ratios have led to below-average long-term returns.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/66f9a3f8fedee54d3a30a15b70138ab5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofShiller PE Ratio, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>Warren Buffett’s favorite valuation measure- and the one that best predicts future long-term stock market returns - is the Stock Market Capitalization To GDP Ratio, which is shown below. Based on this measure, stocks are trading 30% higher than the prior all-time high at the Tech Bubble peak of 2000! Stocks would have to fall over 60% for this ratio to return to the levels it reached at the stock market bottom in March 2009.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d270087f9958674d30bed139425fe08e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"264\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>It is not just stocks that are priced to deliver poor returns. US Treasury bills and bonds are trading at historically low interest rates not far above zero (and some countries have negative interest rates), assuring very low returns until maturity. Also, corporate bond yields relative to Treasury bond yields are at historically low levels.</p>\n<p>Real estate is also expensive, with REITs trading at historically low dividend yields. And as shown in the chart below of theS&amp;P/Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index, home prices are currently 27% higher than they were at the housing bubble peak of 2006!</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c011c579b31844dd761b260b1adb7600\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"281\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>Importantly, not only do high valuations lead to low long-term returns but they also usually lead to devastating bear markets on the path to those low long-term returns.</p>\n<p><b>2. Extraordinarily Bullish Investor Sentiment</b></p>\n<p>Along with high asset valuations, investor sentiment is at sky-high levels of bullishness. When investors are very bullish, that is a bearish contrarian indicator.</p>\n<p>The best investor sentiment indicators show where investors are actually putting their hard-earned money in anticipation of making a profit, not just what they say their “mood” is. For sentiment, we focus on investor<i>actions</i>, not<i>words</i>.</p>\n<p>One excellent sentiment indicator is the Equity Put/Call Ratio. When investors are bearish, they buy Put options in anticipation of profiting from a fall in stock prices. When they are bullish, they buy Call options in anticipation of profiting from a rise in stock prices. When the ratio of Puts to Calls is very high, that shows investors are very bearish, which is a bullish contrarian indicator. Conversely, when the ratio of Puts to Calls is very low, that shows investors are very bullish, which is a bearish contrarian indicator.</p>\n<p>The chart below shows the Equity Put/Call Ratio, using the 100-day moving average to reduce short-term noise in this indicator. Over the past year, it has fallen to extremely low levels - well below those seen at the stock market peak in 2007.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f4ac510219add2cccd009014b44162b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"382\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofStockCharts.com, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>The next chart is the Rydex Asset Ratio, which is the ratio of investor assets in all Rydex bear and money market funds (bearish positioning) compared to investor assets in all Rydex bull funds (bullish positioning). As you can see, investors have been very bullishly positioned in US stocks for over seven years! The last time investors approached this level of bullishness was around the Tech Bubble peak of 2000.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30902a5fd01f363fd7dc95147f34735a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"382\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofStockCharts.com, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>When the majority of investors are already very bullish and “all in”, there is no one left to buy and lots of potential sellers when something changes, as it always does. Most investors will be shocked when their bullish expectations meet the harsh reality of a major bear market.</p>\n<p><b>3. Weak Economic Fundamentals</b></p>\n<p>The US economy is not as strong as it used to be. That is certainly true in the wake of the Covid pandemic, but it has also been true for the past two decades. All of the taxes, regulations and other government interventions in the economy in recent decades have created a weaker and more fragile economy that will make the next recession even worse.</p>\n<p>The chart below of Industrial Production shows it is only 8% higher than at the 2000 peak and is 1% lower than at the 2007 peak. It has nearly flatlined over the past two decades. That is much weaker than the 3.9% annual growth in Industrial Production from 1920 to 2000.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3b30a4514e3707d1aaaf03a81dd5d3d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"276\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>Total Nonfarm Employment, shown below, grew at a 2.5% annual rate from 1940 to 2000. Similar to Industrial Production, Employment has nearly flatlined over the past two decades. It has increased only 10% since the 2000 peak and only 6% since the 2007 peak. Sadly, it is still nearly 4% below the February 2020 peak.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5c7778bd8479e8800718b3abdcdf0dfb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"275\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p><b>4. Excessive Debt Levels</b></p>\n<p>The chart below shows the US Total Debt To GDP Ratio is near recent all-time highs at 3.8 times (or 380%), even higher than the high levels preceding the Great Recession. Global Debt To GDP is also at record high levels over 300%, as is US Federal Debt To GDP at 125%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/563808ddc51f6a6b821f4abde5f62d17\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"242\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>Excessive debt has been the problem with every financial crisis in history, due to prior money creation out of thin air. So the next one promises to be one for the history books given these unprecedented high debt levels. Debt liquidation and defaults will lead to deflation, particularly for asset prices, as we saw in the Great Recession and even more so in the Great Depression.</p>\n<p><b>5. Limited Policy Options</b></p>\n<p>The primary “bull case” for the stock market and economy over the past 12 years since the Great Recession ended has been “free liquidity” provided in seemingly endless amounts by the Federal Reserve. It is almost as though money really does grow on trees!</p>\n<p>But money created out of thin air does not create new goods and services that improve living standards. If it did, a place likeZimbabwewould be the wealthiest country in the world. However, newly created money can flow into financial assets, which helps explain why valuation levels are so high.</p>\n<p>The graph below shows “Austrian” Money Supply (AMS), the best measure of money supply that is consistent withthis Austrian School of Economics definition(although it no longer includes traveler’s checks, which have been discontinued in the Fed’s database due to limited use these days). AMS is up 40% since February 2020 and is up an astounding 225% since the Great Recession ended in June 2009!</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3844fc699c58ff48effcc5918378bfcd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"261\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>This is well above the money supply growth that drove the Roaring ‘20s and ultimately led to the Great Depression of the 1930s, as detailed in economist Murray N. Rothbard’s definitive history of that period in his book<i>America’s Great Depression</i>. In this book, heexplained the cause of the boom and bust business cycle:</p>\n<p><i>The “boom-bust” cycle is generated by monetary intervention in the market, specifically bank credit expansion to business…[B]ank credit expansion sets into motion the business cycle in all its phases: the inflationary boom, marked by expansion of the money supply and by malinvestment; the crisis, which arrives when credit expansion ceases and malinvestments become evident; and the depression recovery, the necessary adjustment process by which the economy returns to the most efficient ways of satisfying consumer desires.</i></p>\n<p>All this money creation has enabled the Fed to target theFederal Funds Rateat only 0.1%, as shown below. While that is above the negative interest rates prevailing in some countries, it doesn’t leave much room for the Fed to cut rates to try to prevent a recession, particularly with inflation at over 5% now. And as the chart shows, the Fed cut rates throughout the prior three recessions and bear markets and was not able to stop them, since the market is bigger than the Fed. This leaves the stock market and economy very vulnerable in the next downturn, with potentially no “safety nets” to protect them.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62449341ea09ce506389102e838a6cf4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"262\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p>Lastly, for the Keynesian economists who still believe the dogma that Federal budget deficits can prevent a recession - despite any evidence or logical theory to support it - the current Federal Budget Surplus/Deficit To GDP Ratio of -15% is the worst since World War II, as shown below. Given record-high government debt levels and deficits, how much more deficit spending will bond investors be willing to finance? And what good will it do, since deficits did not prevent the Great Recession?</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26c9f09598045b1c92a037cc0e326f86\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"275\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.</span></p>\n<p><b>Implications For Investors</b></p>\n<p>There is much more that can be said to prove our case, but hopefully, the facts provided in this article are sufficient for investors to understand the current risks in financial assets and the economy.</p>\n<p>While the exact timing of the next bear market and recession is unknown and there are currently no signs of it with stocks at all-time highs, now is the time for investors to seek out information on how to identify the tell-tale signs of bear markets and how to profit from them, rather than being decimated by them, as the majority of investors, unfortunately, will be.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Investors need to understand the risks they are facing now in order to prepare and profit from them in the future.\nHere are the five key reasons we believe the next stock bear market and recession will be worse than the Great Recession of 2008-2009 (when the S&P 500 fell 58% and it took about six years to recover), which will make it the worst since the 1930s (when the S&P 500 fell 86% and it took about 25 years to recover):\n1. Extremely High Asset Valuations\nInformed investors know that we are currently in an “Everything Bubble” driven by massive and persistent central bank money creation. Virtually every major financial asset is overvalued and priced to deliver low - or even negative - long-term returns.\nFor example, the Shiller P/E Ratio shown below is 30% higher than it was at the 1929 peak and is nearly as high as the all-time high in 2000. TheShiller P/E Ratiowas created by economist Robert Shiller and is calculated as the price of the S&P 500 divided by the average past 10 years of earnings, adjusted for inflation. It attempts to smooth the cyclicality of earnings.

Based on this measure, stocks are trading 30% higher than the prior all-time high at the Tech Bubble peak of 2000!

Also, corporate bond yields relative to Treasury bond yields are at historically low levels.\nReal estate is also expensive, with REITs trading at historically low dividend yields.

Extraordinarily Bullish Investor Sentiment\nAlong with high asset valuations, investor sentiment is at sky-high levels of bullishness. When investors are very bullish, that is a bearish contrarian indicator.\nThe best investor sentiment indicators show where investors are actually putting their hard-earned money in anticipation of making a profit, not just what they say their “mood” is. For sentiment, we focus on investoractions, notwords.\nOne excellent sentiment indicator is the Equity Put/Call Ratio. When investors are bearish, they buy Put options in anticipation of profiting from a fall in stock prices. When they are bullish, they buy Call options in anticipation of profiting from a rise in stock prices. When the ratio of Puts to Calls is very high, that shows investors are very bearish, which is a bullish contrarian indicator. Conversely, when the ratio of Puts to Calls is very low, that shows investors are very bullish, which is a bearish contrarian indicator.\nThe chart below shows the Equity Put/Call Ratio, using the 100-day moving average to reduce short-term noise in this indicator. Over the past year, it has fallen to extremely low levels - well below those seen at the stock market peak in 2007.\nSource: Chart courtesy ofStockCharts.com, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\nThe next chart is the Rydex Asset Ratio, which is the ratio of investor assets in all Rydex bear and money market funds (bearish positioning) compared to investor assets in all Rydex bull funds (bullish positioning). As you can see, investors have been very bullishly positioned in US stocks for over seven years! The last time investors approached this level of bullishness was around the Tech Bubble peak of 2000.\nSource: Chart courtesy ofStockCharts.com, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\nWhen the majority of investors are already very bullish and “all in”, there is no one left to buy and lots of potential sellers when something changes, as it always does. Most investors will be shocked when their bullish expectations meet the harsh reality of a major bear market.\n3. Weak Economic Fundamentals\nThe US economy is not as strong as it used to be. That is certainly true in the wake of the Covid pandemic, but it has also been true for the past two decades. All of the taxes, regulations and other government interventions in the economy in recent decades have created a weaker and more fragile economy that will make the next recession even worse.\nThe chart below of Industrial Production shows it is only 8% higher than at the 2000 peak and is 1% lower than at the 2007 peak. It has nearly flatlined over the past two decades. That is much weaker than the 3.9% annual growth in Industrial Production from 1920 to 2000.\nSource: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\nTotal Nonfarm Employment, shown below, grew at a 2.5% annual rate from 1940 to 2000. Similar to Industrial Production, Employment has nearly flatlined over the past two decades. It has increased only 10% since the 2000 peak and only 6% since the 2007 peak. Sadly, it is still nearly 4% below the February 2020 peak.\nSource: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\n4. Excessive Debt Levels\nThe chart below shows the US Total Debt To GDP Ratio is near recent all-time highs at 3.8 times (or 380%), even higher than the high levels preceding the Great Recession. Global Debt To GDP is also at record high levels over 300%, as is US Federal Debt To GDP at 125%.\nSource: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\nExcessive debt has been the problem with every financial crisis in history, due to prior money creation out of thin air. So the next one promises to be one for the history books given these unprecedented high debt levels. Debt liquidation and defaults will lead to deflation, particularly for asset prices, as we saw in the Great Recession and even more so in the Great Depression.\n5. Limited Policy Options\nThe primary “bull case” for the stock market and economy over the past 12 years since the Great Recession ended has been “free liquidity” provided in seemingly endless amounts by the Federal Reserve. It is almost as though money really does grow on trees!\nBut money created out of thin air does not create new goods and services that improve living standards. If it did, a place likeZimbabwewould be the wealthiest country in the world. However, newly created money can flow into financial assets, which helps explain why valuation levels are so high.\nThe graph below shows “Austrian” Money Supply (AMS), the best measure of money supply that is consistent withthis Austrian School of Economics definition(although it no longer includes traveler’s checks, which have been discontinued in the Fed’s database due to limited use these days). AMS is up 40% since February 2020 and is up an astounding 225% since the Great Recession ended in June 2009!\nSource: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\nThis is well above the money supply growth that drove the Roaring ‘20s and ultimately led to the Great Depression of the 1930s, as detailed in economist Murray N. Rothbard’s definitive history of that period in his bookAmerica’s Great Depression. In this book, heexplained the cause of the boom and bust business cycle:\nThe “boom-bust” cycle is generated by monetary intervention in the market, specifically bank credit expansion to business…[B]ank credit expansion sets into motion the business cycle in all its phases: the inflationary boom, marked by expansion of the money supply and by malinvestment; the crisis, which arrives when credit expansion ceases and malinvestments become evident; and the depression recovery, the necessary adjustment process by which the economy returns to the most efficient ways of satisfying consumer desires.\nAll this money creation has enabled the Fed to target theFederal Funds Rateat only 0.1%, as shown below. While that is above the negative interest rates prevailing in some countries, it doesn’t leave much room for the Fed to cut rates to try to prevent a recession, particularly with inflation at over 5% now. And as the chart shows, the Fed cut rates throughout the prior three recessions and bear markets and was not able to stop them, since the market is bigger than the Fed. This leaves the stock market and economy very vulnerable in the next downturn, with potentially no “safety nets” to protect them.\nSource: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\nLastly, for the Keynesian economists who still believe the dogma that Federal budget deficits can prevent a recession - despite any evidence or logical theory to support it - the current Federal Budget Surplus/Deficit To GDP Ratio of -15% is the worst since World War II, as shown below. Given record-high government debt levels and deficits, how much more deficit spending will bond investors be willing to finance? And what good will it do, since deficits did not prevent the Great Recession?\nSource: Chart courtesy ofFRED, with annotations by Jon Wolfenbarger, CFA.\nImplications For Investors\nThere is much more that can be said to prove our case, but hopefully, the facts provided in this article are sufficient for investors to understand the current risks in financial assets and the economy.\nWhile the exact timing of the next bear market and recession is unknown and there are currently no signs of it with stocks at all-time highs, now is the time for investors to seek out information on how to identify the tell-tale signs of bear markets and how to profit from them, rather than being decimated by them, as the majority of investors, unfortunately, will be.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":810463345,"gmtCreate":1629993203787,"gmtModify":1676530196286,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news or bad news?&nbsp;","listText":"Good news or bad news?&nbsp;","text":"Good news or bad news?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/810463345","repostId":"1129687208","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":429,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177077447,"gmtCreate":1627173364589,"gmtModify":1703484953216,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Key to note: Apple shares have fallen after four of the past five earnings reports.

The Cupertino-based tech giant recorded largest quarterly revenues ever of $81.4 billion, which were up 36% from the prior year and outperformed the average Wall Street forecast of $72.9 billion and our&nbsp;previous coverage&nbsp;projections of $76.5 billion by nearly $10 billion.</p>\n<p>The company also saw robust double-digit growth across the board from products and services to every geographic segment, with the installed base of devices and paid service subscriptions reaching an all-time high; the stellar results were also indicative of increased market penetration with the largest double-digit growth recorded for switchers and upgraders ever for a June-quarter, marking another record-breaking milestone in the books this quarter and continued dominance across all markets for Apple.</p>\n<p>Yet, Apple’s shares slipped as much as 3% following the earnings call and continues to be down close to 1% since July 27th. The stock also has not fared well amongst its FAANG counterparts in recent weeks from the stock sell-off triggered by fear that the latest resurgence of the coronavirus’ delta variant could erode economic growth.</p>\n<p>The contradicting movement in Apple’s share price compared to its stellar June quarter financial results allegedly stemmed from management’s warning of decelerated growth for the upcoming September quarter as lingering supply chain constraints are expected to place an adverse impact on product sales, especially on the revenue-leading iPhone and iPad categories; other headwinds also include weaker FX gains and anticipated slowed growth in the services category as demand returns to pre-pandemic levels following above-normal June quarter results.</p>\n<p>However, we consider anticipated headwinds as only short-term impacts that will not result in permanent losses for the company. The Apple stock remains primed for further upside considering the rising global demand for its products and services. Despite the supply crunch and decelerated growth anticipated for the upcoming September quarter, our outlook remains bullish on Apple with upside of more than 15% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd. With Apple’s stock price still down 0.85% from its earnings call on July 27thand down close to 3% from its mid-July peak, we consider the recent price pullback an advantage slated for long-term gains.</p>\n<p><b>Strength in Overcoming Lost Sales from Supply Constraints</b></p>\n<p>One of the key drivers for slowed growth anticipated for the September quarter is the ongoing chip supply shortage, which had previously caused more pervasive impact to the automotive industry but has now trickled down to consumer electronics. And Apple, who has its proprietary chips made by the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSMor “TSMC”), has not been spared from impact, with management warning of a supply constraint for the legacy semiconductor nodes used in the display and audio functions of its best-selling products, which is expected to drive lower sales in the near term.</p>\n<p>TSMC has also warned the chip shortage will likely continue into the&nbsp;following year, which is consistent with the timeline issued across all impacted industries. Although management has not provided a quantified range for the anticipated impact on the September quarter’s results, it is expected to be far more severe than what was experienced in the June quarter, which was on the low end of the $3 billion and $4 billion range estimate provided in April.</p>\n<p>However, the continued acceleration in global demand for iPhones and iPads is expected to more than compensate for the upcoming loss of revenues in later periods as “deferred” sales when raw material supplies return, and pending demand is fulfilled. To date, 97% of customers who have purchased from the iPhone 12 family have indicated appreciation for the enhanced 5G speeds, alongside improved chip technology and camera quality.</p>\n<p>The product category has also seen strong upgrade and switch rates in recent months as users continue their transition from legacy iPhones and other smartphones to the latest and greatest 5G-enabled iPhone.

And the recent price pullback makes a great buy opportunity for those looking to participate in the company's long-term gains.\n\nJustin Sullivan/Getty Images News\nJust a week ago, Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) reported record-setting June quarter results that had crushed market expectations. The Cupertino-based tech giant recorded largest quarterly revenues ever of $81.4 billion, which were up 36% from the prior year and outperformed the average Wall Street forecast of $72.9 billion and our previous coverage projections of $76.5 billion by nearly $10 billion.\nThe company also saw robust double-digit growth across the board from products and services to every geographic segment, with the installed base of devices and paid service subscriptions reaching an all-time high; the stellar results were also indicative of increased market penetration with the largest double-digit growth recorded for switchers and upgraders ever for a June-quarter, marking another record-breaking milestone in the books this quarter and continued dominance across all markets for Apple.\nYet, Apple’s shares slipped as much as 3% following the earnings call and continues to be down close to 1% since July 27th. The stock also has not fared well amongst its FAANG counterparts in recent weeks from the stock sell-off triggered by fear that the latest resurgence of the coronavirus’ delta variant could erode economic growth.\nThe contradicting movement in Apple’s share price compared to its stellar June quarter financial results allegedly stemmed from management’s warning of decelerated growth for the upcoming September quarter as lingering supply chain constraints are expected to place an adverse impact on product sales, especially on the revenue-leading iPhone and iPad categories; other headwinds also include weaker FX gains and anticipated slowed growth in the services category as demand returns to pre-pandemic levels following above-normal June quarter results.\nHowever, we consider anticipated headwinds as only short-term impacts that will not result in permanent losses for the company. The Apple stock remains primed for further upside considering the rising global demand for its products and services. Despite the supply crunch and decelerated growth anticipated for the upcoming September quarter, our outlook remains bullish on Apple with upside of more than 15% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd. With Apple’s stock price still down 0.85% from its earnings call on July 27thand down close to 3% from its mid-July peak, we consider the recent price pullback an advantage slated for long-term gains.\nStrength in Overcoming Lost Sales from Supply Constraints\nOne of the key drivers for slowed growth anticipated for the September quarter is the ongoing chip supply shortage, which had previously caused more pervasive impact to the automotive industry but has now trickled down to consumer electronics. And Apple, who has its proprietary chips made by the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSMor “TSMC”), has not been spared from impact, with management warning of a supply constraint for the legacy semiconductor nodes used in the display and audio functions of its best-selling products, which is expected to drive lower sales in the near term.\nTSMC has also warned the chip shortage will likely continue into the following year, which is consistent with the timeline issued across all impacted industries. Although management has not provided a quantified range for the anticipated impact on the September quarter’s results, it is expected to be far more severe than what was experienced in the June quarter, which was on the low end of the $3 billion and $4 billion range estimate provided in April.\nHowever, the continued acceleration in global demand for iPhones and iPads is expected to more than compensate for the upcoming loss of revenues in later periods as “deferred” sales when raw material supplies return, and pending demand is fulfilled. To date, 97% of customers who have purchased from the iPhone 12 family have indicated appreciation for the enhanced 5G speeds, alongside improved chip technology and camera quality.\nThe product category has also seen strong upgrade and switch rates in recent months as users continue their transition from legacy iPhones and other smartphones to the latest and greatest 5G-enabled iPhone. Considering 5G technology is still in early stages of adoption with low penetration rate, there is still significant additional growth opportunities available for the current and future 5G-enabled iPhone models.\nGlobal demand for 5G-enabled devices is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 38% into 2026, which further corroborates the expectation that potential lost sales from the ongoing supply shortage will not be permanent as demand for iPhones will continue to persist at high levels and make-whole lost sales in later periods when chip supplies return. A similar trend is expected for iPad demands in the long run, as it has proven itself during the pandemic to be a versatile and affordable tool to support creativity and social connection.\nThe production and sales bottleneck caused by the ongoing global chip supply shortage will only be a temporary pause to Apple’s iPhone and iPad hot streak, which is expected to resume in strength when the supply chain finds alleviation to its current crunch sometime next year. And when this happens, we should be expecting above-normal sales levels underpinned by robust demand, similar to those observed in the June quarter.\nOutperforming Competition in the Services Segment with Innovation\nAlthough the above-normal growth in the services business segment observed during the June quarter is expected to revert to more moderated historical levels going forward, Apple has continued to be diligent in rolling out “innovative new features and programming” to increase reach and maintain market dominance in the increasingly competitive landscape.\nApple’s services business segment – which includes iCloud, Apple TV+, App Store, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, advertising, payment and other service offerings – currently competes head-on with other prominent service providers like Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX), Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN),Google(Nasdaq:GOOG) (GOOGL) and Facebook(Nasdaq:FB). In order to maintain its established reputation for innovative technology and grow its loyal fanbase, Apple has recently introduced several new upgrades to existing service offerings at its most recent Worldwide Developers Conference (“WWDC”).\nThe new exciting features include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio for Apple Music, which enables an “immersive” listening experience and provides access to the studio quality of original audio files at no additional cost – a competitive advantage to audio streaming leader Spotify’s “HiFi” equivalent, which will likely come at a higher price tag upon launch. And for Apple TV+ – Apple’s gateway to the fast-growing video-streaming market – the company has continued to produce quality programming, which is proven through the 35 Emmy Nominations that it has received this year.\nA new generation of the Apple TV, which includes a Siri-enabled remote and enhanced colour balance technology, has also been unveiled to complement its improved programming, which is expected to further enhance customer traction for the segment. The tech giant has also rebranded its iCloud service to iCloud+, with additional upgrades including enhanced privacy features and expanded HomeKit Secure Video support to accompany its suite of smart home devices at no additional costs.\nOther recently launched and enhanced services include Apple Podcast subscriptions, Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+, which could be bundled through Apple One at a discounted subscription rate. The Apple One bundle, which was launched in Q2, has already seen incredible success with increasing adoption rates that continue to drive overall growth within the services business segment.\nOverall Financial Prospects\nConsidering the above analysis on Apple’s current operating environment, the recent headwinds that will drive decelerated growth during the September quarter are expected to be temporary and will be overcome with ease in the long run. Our base case forecast projects total net sales of $85.6 billion for the September quarter, representing 32% year-over-year growth, which is consistent with management’s expectations for strong double-digit year-over-year growth that will be slightly lower than the 36% reported for the June quarter.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).\nOur projected total net sales for the September quarter consist of $67.6 billion in product sales, up 35% from the prior year, and $18.0 billion in service sales, up 24% from the prior year. Altogether, our base case forecast projects total net sales of $368.1 billion for FY 2021, which represents year-over-year growth of 34%. The company’s net sales are expected to maintain accelerated growth at a CAGR of 8% towards $534.4 billion by FY 2026 due to increasing adoption and integration of technology and digital media into both professional and personal aspects of day-to-day routines.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nGross profit margins are projected at 41.7% for the September quarter, which is consistent with management’s guidance of approximately 41.5% to 42.5% considering the higher freight costs expected for this quarter, offset by an overall decline in component supply costs as product sales continue to scale.\nTotal operating expenses are projected at $11.4 billion for the fiscal year’s fourth quarter, which consists of $6.0 billion related to research and development efforts, and $5.4 billion related to selling, general and administrative expenses; this is consistent with Apple’s cost structure observed in recent periods, and in line with the estimated range of $11.3 billion and $11.5 billion provided in management’s guidance.\nAs a result, our base case forecast projects total cost of sales of $214.5 billion, and total operating expenses of $43.9 billion for FY 2021. And a similar cost structure is expected to apply into FY 2026 to support Apple’s continued growth in its products and services categories, as well as across all geographic segments in which it currently operates in.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nAltogether, our base case forecast projects FY 2021 net income of $94.8 billion, which represents year-over-year growth of 65%. The bottom line is forecasted for further growth at a CAGR of 7% into the next five years, resulting in projected net income of $132.5 billion by 2026.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\ni. Base Case Financial Projections:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nAAPL Stock Valuation\nOur revised price target for Apple based on updated information from its recent earnings release is $170.91. This represents upside potential of 17.4% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nTo arrive at the $170.91 price target, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows over a five-year discrete period; the WACC is consistent with Apple’s current risk profile and capital structure, which includes its latest four-part debt offering to taling $6.5 billion. Our valuation analysis also assumes a 19.7x EV/EBITDA multiple, which is in line with guideline public companies and precedent transactions within Apple’s industry peer group, and is reflective of current market expectations for Apple’s business growth potential in the long run.\ni. Base Case Valuation Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nIn order to validate our foregoing analysis that the adverse impacts to sales resulting from supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues and less favourable FX are only temporary and will not materially change Apple’s upside potential, we have also performed a sensitivity analysis to quantify the impact to FY 2021 revenues needed to decrease our base case price target of $170.91 by 10%.\nBased on our sensitivity analysis, FY 2021 revenues of $301.5 billion with growth at a CAGR of 10% into 2026, while holding all other valuation assumptions (i.e. cost structure, WACC, EV/EBITDA multiple) discussed above constant, would result in a price target of $153.82, which is 10% lower than our base case price target of $170.91.\nConsidering year-to-date total net sales of $282.5 billion, Apple would only need to achieve total net sales of $19.0 billion for the September quarter to maintain a projected equity value of $2.5 trillion or $153.82 per share, which is highly unlikely even under supply constraint pressures and reduced services segment sales based on the company’s current growth trajectory. As such, we do not consider the near-term impacts related to supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues, and unfavourable FX a catalyst for permanent loss to Apple’s valuation.\ni. Revenue Sensitivity Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConclusion - Is AAPL Stock A Good Buy?\nConsidering Apple’s growth prospects, the recent price pullback makes a great buy opportunity for those looking to participate in the company’s long-term gains. The near-term headwinds related to industry-wide supply constraints and normalized services segment revenues are not expected to materially change Apple’s growth trajectory nor valuation in the long run.\nAny lost revenues in the September quarter will very likely be recouped when the supply chain restores its balance, considering the continued surge in demand for iPhones and iPads underpinned by ongoing 5G transition and the increasing need for versatile portable smart devices to enable online access at all times. As a global industry leader with successes achieved to date that very few could match, Apple is poised for further upside realization in the long run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":53,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803905204,"gmtCreate":1627399336908,"gmtModify":1703489268439,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"what about Apple? u just missed that :S","listText":"what about Apple? u just missed that :S","text":"what about Apple? u just missed that :S","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/803905204","repostId":"1180394633","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":59,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":171751911,"gmtCreate":1626767621533,"gmtModify":1703764801519,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"10%-15% correction?

This story has been updated as of March 9.</i></p><p>Apple (AAPL) shares have come under pressure in recent weeks, along with the broader equity markets, as the war in Ukraine escalates, sending oil and the dollar surging. That, coupled with the potential for several Fed rate hikes as inflation spirals out of control, is resulting in valuation and multiple compression. Apple is not immune to these macro forces.</p><p>Even the latest Apple event on March 8, with the unveiling of a new iPhone SE, iPad Air, and new Mac Studio, will be enough to change the course of Apple over the near term. The issue with Apple is not the fundamentals of the business. The problem with Apple is that the stock&#39;s valuation is high on a historical basis. Right now, investors are re-pricing risk, leading to board multiple compression across the entire market.</p><h2>AAPL&#39;s Valuation Is Still High</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62f3bc82f1f7ce23f94e0a25183e9e7b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"317\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>Apple&#39;s stock is certainly not cheap, trading at 24.7 it 1-yr Fwd EPS estimates, which doesn&#39;t sound high compared to other stocks in the S&amp;P 500. But it&#39;s very high for Apple on a historical basis. Since 2014, Apple has had an average PE ratio of 16.7. Now it&#39;s reasonable to assume some added multiple expansion over the years due to the company&#39;s addition of its services business. However, despite its decline, the current PE ratio is still more than <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> standard deviation above the historical average.</p><p>It probably signals a lot more multiple compression to go for Apple&#39;s stock, should the general trend in the broader market continue to hold. That multiple could fall dramatically, potentially to 20 or lower.</p><p>If Apple is forecast to earn around $6.69 per share in 2023 and sees its PE ratio fall to about 20 times earnings, the stock would only be valued at approximately $134. That would be a considerable drop from its current price of roughly $162 on March 9, a decline of about 17.4%.</p><p>The valuation may especially matter given that company is only expected to see earnings grow 9.6% in the fiscal year 2022 and 6.8% in the fiscal year 2023, which doesn&#39;t justify the historically high valuation.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf1a8ddea8fbe028617f8f659fd46cae\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"325\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><h2>Betting Shares Drops</h2><p>This type of thinking could have led someone to make a massive bet that Apple&#39;s stock will see lower prices soon. On March 7, the April 14 $150 puts saw their open interest rise by an eye-popping 45,000 contracts. The data shows the contracts were bought on the ASK at various prices during the trading session on March 4 for around $3. That would imply that the stock would need to fall below $147 for the trader to profit if holding the contracts until the expiration date.</p><h2>Trends Breaking Down</h2><p>The technical chart does not look strong and shows that prices have been declining and approaching a critical long-term uptrend that started in May. The technical pattern itself is a rising broadening wedge, which tends to be a bearish pattern. A break of that uptrend would result in the stock falling to around $149, the next level of crucial support for the equity. Additionally, the relative strength index is trending lower, suggesting a loss of bullish momentum.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4bb2f209fcb045281afe14f2543d6c7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Tradingview</p><p>The decline in Apple shares may have nothing to do with the fundamentals of the business, which seem pretty strong right now, especially in the face of the strong product line-up. The company has recently started rolling out its chip designs into its Mac and iPad line-ups.

This story has been updated as of March 9.Apple (AAPL) shares have come under pressure in recent weeks, along with the broader equity markets, as the war in Ukraine escalates, sending oil and the dollar surging. That, coupled with the potential for several Fed rate hikes as inflation spirals out of control, is resulting in valuation and multiple compression. Apple is not immune to these macro forces.Even the latest Apple event on March 8, with the unveiling of a new iPhone SE, iPad Air, and new Mac Studio, will be enough to change the course of Apple over the near term. The issue with Apple is not the fundamentals of the business. The problem with Apple is that the stock's valuation is high on a historical basis. Right now, investors are re-pricing risk, leading to board multiple compression across the entire market.AAPL's Valuation Is Still HighBloombergApple's stock is certainly not cheap, trading at 24.7 it 1-yr Fwd EPS estimates, which doesn't sound high compared to other stocks in the S&P 500. But it's very high for Apple on a historical basis. Since 2014, Apple has had an average PE ratio of 16.7. Now it's reasonable to assume some added multiple expansion over the years due to the company's addition of its services business. However, despite its decline, the current PE ratio is still more than one standard deviation above the historical average.It probably signals a lot more multiple compression to go for Apple's stock, should the general trend in the broader market continue to hold. That multiple could fall dramatically, potentially to 20 or lower.If Apple is forecast to earn around $6.69 per share in 2023 and sees its PE ratio fall to about 20 times earnings, the stock would only be valued at approximately $134. That would be a considerable drop from its current price of roughly $162 on March 9, a decline of about 17.4%.The valuation may especially matter given that company is only expected to see earnings grow 9.6% in the fiscal year 2022 and 6.8% in the fiscal year 2023, which doesn't justify the historically high valuation.BloombergBetting Shares DropsThis type of thinking could have led someone to make a massive bet that Apple's stock will see lower prices soon. On March 7, the April 14 $150 puts saw their open interest rise by an eye-popping 45,000 contracts. The data shows the contracts were bought on the ASK at various prices during the trading session on March 4 for around $3. That would imply that the stock would need to fall below $147 for the trader to profit if holding the contracts until the expiration date.Trends Breaking DownThe technical chart does not look strong and shows that prices have been declining and approaching a critical long-term uptrend that started in May. The technical pattern itself is a rising broadening wedge, which tends to be a bearish pattern. A break of that uptrend would result in the stock falling to around $149, the next level of crucial support for the equity. Additionally, the relative strength index is trending lower, suggesting a loss of bullish momentum.TradingviewThe decline in Apple shares may have nothing to do with the fundamentals of the business, which seem pretty strong right now, especially in the face of the strong product line-up. The company has recently started rolling out its chip designs into its Mac and iPad line-ups. Plus, the recent event showed the addition of a new Mac.None of this is to say that Apple doesn't have a strong path forward in the future. It does. At this point, the macro backdrop has shifted, resulting in changes in the stock's valuation.It's more likely that Apple will fall victim to changing market dynamics that favor further multiple compression, not due to the strength and positioning of the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":383,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":819235281,"gmtCreate":1630071812743,"gmtModify":1676530216515,"author":{"id":"4088157638983690","authorId":"4088157638983690","name":"mandyt25","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94eee74711de9fa6cffcbb6e721fb7c7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088157638983690","authorIdStr":"4088157638983690"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$</a>After a long wait, finally !

The travel, financial services and media and entertainment sectors were also strong, he added.\nAd revenue for the company's streaming video platform YouTube jumped 83.7% from the year-ago quarter to $7 billion - nearly as much as Netflix generated in quarterly revenue.\nResults \"outperformed our expectations across all three lines of Google's ad business: search, Google Network, and YouTube,\" said Nicole Perrin, eMarketer principal analyst at Insider Intelligence. \"YouTube was the fastest-growing segment during the quarter and points to the continued strength of video advertising for both direct response and brand goals.\"\nTotal revenue for Alphabet rose 61.6% to $61.88 billion, well above Wall Street estimates of $56.16 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.\nQuarterly profit was $18.5 billion or $27.26 per share, beating expectations of $19.34 per share.\nGoogle Cloud, which trails Amazon.com Inc(AMZN.O)and Microsoft Corp(MSFT.O)in market share, narrowed its operating loss to $591 million during the quarter.\nThe strong results coincide with Alphabet facing four antitrust lawsuits brought by U.S. federal regulators or states, which threaten to force major changes across its business including advertising and smart-home gadgets.read more\nMost recently, 37 U.S. state and district attorneys general alleged earlier this month that Google \"unlawfully\" maintained a monopoly for its app store on Android phones.
