Here's why it could pay off.","content":"<p>For more than 20 years, <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) has provided its customers with access to television shows and movies, first on DVDs and now through streaming.</p>\n<p>The company has always been disciplined with its approach. It's rejected calls to get into providing live TV like sports or news, and it has resisted the idea of monetizing its platform through advertising, choosing instead to stick with a simple subscription-only plan.</p>\n<p>Now, Netflix is ready to break that mold. The company said in its second-quarter shareholder letter that it was in the \"early stages of further expanding into gaming,\" and that it views gaming as another content category, like unscripted shows or animation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e11aec1bae4010b3fd697461aa682a88\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Netflix.</span></p>\n<p>Management said it would begin with mobile gaming, but tamped down expectations on the second-quarter earnings call, saying that it views games as complementary to streaming and that streaming would remain the core of the business. It also said that it would not try to monetize games directly, using them instead to drive overall subscription growth and retention. Games will be included at no extra cost in all of Netflix's subscription packages.</p>\n<p>While it may seem like Netflix is arriving late to the gaming arena, there are still at least three reasons to believe the streaming giant could succeed in this new category.</p>\n<h2>1. Netflix has a huge platform</h2>\n<p>Netflix's customer reach alone gives it the opportunity to be a powerhouse in gaming. The company has more than 200 million paying subscribers around the world, and many of its customers spend hours a day on the platform. While Netflix users come to the service to watch TV and movies, the company knows that ultimately its customers are looking for entertainment. Management considers its competition to range from <b>Alphabet</b>'s YouTube to social media platforms like ByteDance's TikTok to video games, in addition to other streaming services and linear TV.</p>\n<p>Additionally, launching mobile gaming makes sense. It won't require any additional hardware; the interactivity is built into the devices; and most Netflix users already have the app loaded onto their devices. According to Apptopia, Netflix was the 10th-most downloaded app in the world in 2020, with 223 million downloads, and it was the only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> in the top 10 that doesn't provide a free service. It's a good bet that many of the subscribers who come to Netflix for shows and movies would be happy to try out games on the platform as well.</p>\n<p>With a global brand and a giant built-in audience, Netflix should also be a highly appealing partner for game developers. Chief product officer Greg Peters said as much on the Q2 earnings call, arguing that because Netflix wouldn't be concerned with monetization tactics like advertising or in-app purchases, it would be more attractive to developers: \"So we're finding that many game developers really like that concept and that focus and this idea of being able to put all of their creative energy into just great gameplay, and not having to worry about those other considerations that they have typically had to trade off with, just making compelling games.\"</p>\n<h2>2.

It's rejected calls to get into providing live TV like sports or news, and it has resisted the idea of monetizing its platform through advertising, choosing instead to stick with a simple subscription-only plan.\nNow, Netflix is ready to break that mold. The company said in its second-quarter shareholder letter that it was in the \"early stages of further expanding into gaming,\" and that it views gaming as another content category, like unscripted shows or animation.\nImage source: Netflix.\nManagement said it would begin with mobile gaming, but tamped down expectations on the second-quarter earnings call, saying that it views games as complementary to streaming and that streaming would remain the core of the business. It also said that it would not try to monetize games directly, using them instead to drive overall subscription growth and retention. Games will be included at no extra cost in all of Netflix's subscription packages.\nWhile it may seem like Netflix is arriving late to the gaming arena, there are still at least three reasons to believe the streaming giant could succeed in this new category.\n1. Netflix has a huge platform\nNetflix's customer reach alone gives it the opportunity to be a powerhouse in gaming. The company has more than 200 million paying subscribers around the world, and many of its customers spend hours a day on the platform. While Netflix users come to the service to watch TV and movies, the company knows that ultimately its customers are looking for entertainment. Management considers its competition to range from Alphabet's YouTube to social media platforms like ByteDance's TikTok to video games, in addition to other streaming services and linear TV.\nAdditionally, launching mobile gaming makes sense. It won't require any additional hardware; the interactivity is built into the devices; and most Netflix users already have the app loaded onto their devices. According to Apptopia, Netflix was the 10th-most downloaded app in the world in 2020, with 223 million downloads, and it was the only one in the top 10 that doesn't provide a free service. It's a good bet that many of the subscribers who come to Netflix for shows and movies would be happy to try out games on the platform as well.\nWith a global brand and a giant built-in audience, Netflix should also be a highly appealing partner for game developers. Chief product officer Greg Peters said as much on the Q2 earnings call, arguing that because Netflix wouldn't be concerned with monetization tactics like advertising or in-app purchases, it would be more attractive to developers: \"So we're finding that many game developers really like that concept and that focus and this idea of being able to put all of their creative energy into just great gameplay, and not having to worry about those other considerations that they have typically had to trade off with, just making compelling games.\"\n2. There's crossover potential with its intellectual property\nThere's no shortage of intellectual property (IP) in Hollywood that has become video games or, in turn, video games that have become movies. Among games that have become hit movies are Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, and Sonic the Hedgehog, while there are plenty of success stories in the other direction like Goldeneye 007, Mad Max, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.\nNetflix has historically lacked the kind of monetization machine that Walt Disney has. When Disney makes a hit movie, it lives multiple lives as theme-park rides, toys, and live events like musical theater or Ice Capades -- and as games, which it generally licenses to developers.\nIt's easy to imagine some of Netflix's hit shows like Narcos, Ozark, or Stranger Things translating into games. A show like Queen's Gambit, for example, could have easily lent itself to a themed chess game based on the show.\nThere's also the potential for Netflix's gaming IP to move in the other direction. If the company launches a hit mobile game, the infrastructure to make those characters into a show or a movie is readily available. Peters acknowledged that this was part of the strategy on the call: \"Part of that will be games that extend our IP. We think that's a really rich, rich space, so that's very much part of our long-term thesis.\"\nNetflix is also planning to do stand-alone games.

And over the next several years, Viatris should achieve synergies resulting from the merger of Pfizer's Upjohn unit and Mylan, as well as launch new products that should drive growth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":194,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172719560,"gmtCreate":1626993862250,"gmtModify":1703481876181,"author":{"id":"4088921736403540","authorId":"4088921736403540","authorIdStr":"4088921736403540","name":"Magzac84","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a877684ffad5336102af73fe09bf766","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088921736403540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172719560","repostId":"1107511555","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1107511555","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1626962515,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1107511555?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-22 22:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 87-point fall","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1107511555","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"(July 22) Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 50-point fall.","content":"<p>(July 22)&nbsp;Travelers, Chevron share losses contribute to Dow's 50-point fall.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45687ad101eb319883e2e71427769c0a\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"303\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e29cafe561682cb5d3615cb470d0792e\" tg-width=\"1866\" tg-height=\"894\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The drug maker also said it's developing a booster specifically targeting delta, which is now thought to be the dominant strain of the virus in the U.S.</p>\n<p>Health officials and medical experts, on the other hand, continue to say there is no scientific case for COVID-19 boosters right now.</p>\n<p>\"I think people are hesitant to support booster dosing because at least for now it's unnecessary,\" Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, told MarketWatch in an email.</p>\n<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, on Sunday told CNN on Thursday saying something similar.</p>\n<p>And, in an email sent Friday afternoon and viewed by MarketWatch, National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins told staff that \"Pfizer seems to have gotten way out over their skis here,\" indicating that the company may be getting ahead of itself when it comes to boosters.</p>\n<p>But if the science evolves and it indicates that boosters are needed, that's going to present a new set of communication challenges for the Biden administration.</p>\n<p>\"It's distracting if people are getting an impression from statements from companies that they need\" to get a booster, said Dr. Lynn Goldman, an epidemiologist and dean of the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. \"We're still trying to get people to immunize in the first place.\"</p>\n<p>The vaccination rate in the U.S. has flatlined at 48% . Telling people they need to get a third shot down line could lead to confusion, frustration, or an even more firm \"no\" from the hesitant.</p>\n<p>\"When you have so many Americans that are hesitant to get vaccinated, articulating to them that, 'Hey, the initial vaccines aren't going to be enough forever, and you're going to have to do this on a regular occurrence,' could make them more skeptical of the vaccines and less willing to get vaccinated initially,\" said Chris Meekins, a health policy analyst at Raymond James.</p>\n<p>The case for boosters is complicated</p>\n<p>Many public-health experts have said they expect booster doses will be necessary as immunity wanes and new variants emerge. However, much of that need is going to be based on when protection begins to diminish and in whom.</p>\n<p>Some experts believe booster shots will only be recommended for certain vulnerable segments of the population, like the elderly or people who are immunocompromised, and not for generally healthy Americans who want to reinforce the level of protection they already have. An influential CDC committee is expected to meet July 22 to discuss whether immunocompromised people need a booster shot.</p>\n<p>\"We believe the likely upcoming spike in cases and deaths may tip the balance\" in favor of boosters, RBC Capital Markets analyst Brian Abrahams told investors this week. \"Should a targeted booster approach be taken, we believe this provides evidence that immunosuppressed individuals and those with co-morbidities should be among the first dosed.\"</p>\n<p>This discussion is already playing out in other countries.</p>\n<p>A group of French doctors published a letter , outlining who can get a third shot depending on age, health status, and profession. Israel is now offering third doses to the immunocompromised.</p>\n<p>In the U.S., vaccine makers face a specific set of obstacles.

Here's why it could pay off.","content":"<p>For more than 20 years, <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) has provided its customers with access to television shows and movies, first on DVDs and now through streaming.</p>\n<p>The company has always been disciplined with its approach. It's rejected calls to get into providing live TV like sports or news, and it has resisted the idea of monetizing its platform through advertising, choosing instead to stick with a simple subscription-only plan.</p>\n<p>Now, Netflix is ready to break that mold. The company said in its second-quarter shareholder letter that it was in the \"early stages of further expanding into gaming,\" and that it views gaming as another content category, like unscripted shows or animation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e11aec1bae4010b3fd697461aa682a88\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Netflix.</span></p>\n<p>Management said it would begin with mobile gaming, but tamped down expectations on the second-quarter earnings call, saying that it views games as complementary to streaming and that streaming would remain the core of the business. It also said that it would not try to monetize games directly, using them instead to drive overall subscription growth and retention. Games will be included at no extra cost in all of Netflix's subscription packages.</p>\n<p>While it may seem like Netflix is arriving late to the gaming arena, there are still at least three reasons to believe the streaming giant could succeed in this new category.</p>\n<h2>1. Netflix has a huge platform</h2>\n<p>Netflix's customer reach alone gives it the opportunity to be a powerhouse in gaming. The company has more than 200 million paying subscribers around the world, and many of its customers spend hours a day on the platform. While Netflix users come to the service to watch TV and movies, the company knows that ultimately its customers are looking for entertainment. Management considers its competition to range from <b>Alphabet</b>'s YouTube to social media platforms like ByteDance's TikTok to video games, in addition to other streaming services and linear TV.</p>\n<p>Additionally, launching mobile gaming makes sense. It won't require any additional hardware; the interactivity is built into the devices; and most Netflix users already have the app loaded onto their devices. According to Apptopia, Netflix was the 10th-most downloaded app in the world in 2020, with 223 million downloads, and it was the only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> in the top 10 that doesn't provide a free service. It's a good bet that many of the subscribers who come to Netflix for shows and movies would be happy to try out games on the platform as well.</p>\n<p>With a global brand and a giant built-in audience, Netflix should also be a highly appealing partner for game developers. Chief product officer Greg Peters said as much on the Q2 earnings call, arguing that because Netflix wouldn't be concerned with monetization tactics like advertising or in-app purchases, it would be more attractive to developers: \"So we're finding that many game developers really like that concept and that focus and this idea of being able to put all of their creative energy into just great gameplay, and not having to worry about those other considerations that they have typically had to trade off with, just making compelling games.\"</p>\n<h2>2. There's crossover potential with its intellectual property</h2>\n<p>There's no shortage of intellectual property (IP) in Hollywood that has become video games or, in turn, video games that have become movies. Among games that have become hit movies are <i>Mortal Kombat</i>, <i>Tomb Raider</i>, and <i>Sonic the Hedgehog</i>, while there are plenty of success stories in the other direction like <i>Goldeneye 007</i>, <i>Mad Max</i>, and <i>Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis</i>.</p>\n<p>Netflix has historically lacked the kind of monetization machine that <b>Walt Disney</b> has. When Disney makes a hit movie, it lives multiple lives as theme-park rides, toys, and live events like musical theater or Ice Capades -- and as games, which it generally licenses to developers.</p>\n<p>It's easy to imagine some of Netflix's hit shows like <i>Narcos</i>, <i>Ozark</i>, or <i>Stranger Things</i> translating into games. A show like <i>Queen's Gambit</i>, for example, could have easily lent itself to a themed chess game based on the show.</p>\n<p>There's also the potential for Netflix's gaming IP to move in the other direction. If the company launches a hit mobile game, the infrastructure to make those characters into a show or a movie is readily available. Peters acknowledged that this was part of the strategy on the call: \"Part of that will be games that extend our IP. We think that's a really rich, rich space, so that's very much part of our long-term thesis.\"</p>\n<p>Netflix is also planning to do stand-alone games. Overall, the complementarity between games and video entertainment is powerful, especially for a platform with so many paying subscribers.</p>\n<h2>3. Netflix has a great track record</h2>\n<p>Netflix doesn't move into new businesses thoughtlessly.

It's rejected calls to get into providing live TV like sports or news, and it has resisted the idea of monetizing its platform through advertising, choosing instead to stick with a simple subscription-only plan.\nNow, Netflix is ready to break that mold. The company said in its second-quarter shareholder letter that it was in the \"early stages of further expanding into gaming,\" and that it views gaming as another content category, like unscripted shows or animation.\nImage source: Netflix.\nManagement said it would begin with mobile gaming, but tamped down expectations on the second-quarter earnings call, saying that it views games as complementary to streaming and that streaming would remain the core of the business. It also said that it would not try to monetize games directly, using them instead to drive overall subscription growth and retention. Games will be included at no extra cost in all of Netflix's subscription packages.\nWhile it may seem like Netflix is arriving late to the gaming arena, there are still at least three reasons to believe the streaming giant could succeed in this new category.\n1. Netflix has a huge platform\nNetflix's customer reach alone gives it the opportunity to be a powerhouse in gaming. The company has more than 200 million paying subscribers around the world, and many of its customers spend hours a day on the platform. While Netflix users come to the service to watch TV and movies, the company knows that ultimately its customers are looking for entertainment. Management considers its competition to range from Alphabet's YouTube to social media platforms like ByteDance's TikTok to video games, in addition to other streaming services and linear TV.\nAdditionally, launching mobile gaming makes sense. It won't require any additional hardware; the interactivity is built into the devices; and most Netflix users already have the app loaded onto their devices. According to Apptopia, Netflix was the 10th-most downloaded app in the world in 2020, with 223 million downloads, and it was the only one in the top 10 that doesn't provide a free service. It's a good bet that many of the subscribers who come to Netflix for shows and movies would be happy to try out games on the platform as well.\nWith a global brand and a giant built-in audience, Netflix should also be a highly appealing partner for game developers. Chief product officer Greg Peters said as much on the Q2 earnings call, arguing that because Netflix wouldn't be concerned with monetization tactics like advertising or in-app purchases, it would be more attractive to developers: \"So we're finding that many game developers really like that concept and that focus and this idea of being able to put all of their creative energy into just great gameplay, and not having to worry about those other considerations that they have typically had to trade off with, just making compelling games.\"\n2. There's crossover potential with its intellectual property\nThere's no shortage of intellectual property (IP) in Hollywood that has become video games or, in turn, video games that have become movies. Among games that have become hit movies are Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, and Sonic the Hedgehog, while there are plenty of success stories in the other direction like Goldeneye 007, Mad Max, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.\nNetflix has historically lacked the kind of monetization machine that Walt Disney has. When Disney makes a hit movie, it lives multiple lives as theme-park rides, toys, and live events like musical theater or Ice Capades -- and as games, which it generally licenses to developers.\nIt's easy to imagine some of Netflix's hit shows like Narcos, Ozark, or Stranger Things translating into games. A show like Queen's Gambit, for example, could have easily lent itself to a themed chess game based on the show.\nThere's also the potential for Netflix's gaming IP to move in the other direction. If the company launches a hit mobile game, the infrastructure to make those characters into a show or a movie is readily available. Peters acknowledged that this was part of the strategy on the call: \"Part of that will be games that extend our IP. We think that's a really rich, rich space, so that's very much part of our long-term thesis.\"\nNetflix is also planning to do stand-alone games. Overall, the complementarity between games and video entertainment is powerful, especially for a platform with so many paying subscribers.\n3. Netflix has a great track record\nNetflix doesn't move into new businesses thoughtlessly. Over its history, the company has been incredibly disciplined, making two large leaps -- from DVDs to streaming, and then from licensing content to producing original shows and movies. Though its brief attempt to separate the DVD business under the brand Qwikster was a failure, Netflix is not a company that blindly enters new experiments, and it understands its core competencies well.\nCo-CEO Ted Sarandos mostly dismissed the idea of getting into sports again, saying on the call: \"Our fundamental product is on-demand and advertising-free, and sports tends to be live and packed with advertising. So there's not a lot of natural synergies in that way, except for it happens in television.\"\nCo-CEO Reed Hastings also said that video gaming was something the company had discussed for years, and decided on going forward with because it shares a lot of qualities with video entertainment: \"You're going to have these long franchises and very positive for us, kind of industry-structure-wise, if we can master the skill set.\"\nWhile video games aren't a slam dunk for Netflix and will likely take years to come to fruition, the new direction also shows that the streaming champ is looking for new opportunities as its growth rate in streaming slows.\nWith more than 200 million subscribers and one of the best-known brands in entertainment, it would be a mistake to count out Netflix in video games.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":357,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172719560,"gmtCreate":1626993862250,"gmtModify":1703481876181,"author":{"id":"4088921736403540","authorId":"4088921736403540","authorIdStr":"4088921736403540","name":"Magzac84","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a877684ffad5336102af73fe09bf766","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088921736403540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172719560","repostId":"1107511555","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":432,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177168531,"gmtCreate":1627187395323,"gmtModify":1703485312682,"author":{"id":"4088921736403540","authorId":"4088921736403540","authorIdStr":"4088921736403540","name":"Magzac84","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a877684ffad5336102af73fe09bf766","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088921736403540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice!","listText":"Nice!","text":"Nice!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/177168531","repostId":"2153938547","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153938547","pubTimestamp":1627085070,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153938547?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-24 08:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What will Apple say about the next iPhone at earnings time?

Analysts tracked by FactSet are calling for $34.2 billion in iPhone revenue, up 29.4% from a year earlier.</p>\n<p>Some encouraging signals came from Verizon Communications Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$(VZ)$</a>, which recently ran a big iPhone promotion as it sought to match discounts at rival AT&amp;T Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">$(T)$</a></p>\n<p>\"Momentum built throughout the quarter, and we timed our promotions to take full advantage of the economic recovery and increased customer activity,\" Verizon Chief Financial Officer Matthew Ellis said on his company's earnings call. About 20% of Verizon's consumer base is now using 5G-enabled phones .</p>\n<p>Raymond James analyst Chris Caso noted that the quantity of upgrades might not even be the most important factor, as his analysis of iPhone carrier deals from last year found that they can be helpful in driving a greater \"mix\" of more expensive devices.</p>\n<p>\"Consumers appear to have been willing to pay the few dollars per month to upgrade to higher-end models, if the base model was offered for free,\" he wrote, based on analyzing last year's subsidies.</p>\n<p>UBS analyst David Vogt is also feeling upbeat about the business heading into the fiscal third-quarter report, pointing to positive signs in the telecommunications industry like the \"aggressive promotions\" and improving retail traffic at wireless stores.</p>\n<p>But he notes that demand may not be the big issue for Apple, as the company's overall upside is \"gated\" due to supply constraints plaguing the broader electronics industry and beyond. Apple addressed these issues on its earnings call, projecting a $3 billion to $4 billion negative revenue impact in the June quarter that was mainly expected to affect the Mac and iPad businesses.</p>\n<p>Another key narrative is how those two segments held up more generally given a return to more normalized activities outside the home. Apple's Macs and iPads were popular purchases among those needing new hardware to power remote working and schooling, but analysts will be looking to see whether the personal-computer boom is sustainable.</p>\n<p>\"While Apple will have to contend with lapping very difficult pandemic comparisons in the [June quarter] and for several quarters thereafter, we see several near-term tailwinds from both categories,\" wrote CFRA analyst Angelo Zino. \"We see corporate upgrades on the enterprise level becoming a bigger contributor to demand as the economy fully reopens across the globe.\"</p>\n<p>The coming results will also be the first gauge on demand for Apple's new colorful iMac lineup and powerful iPad Pro , both of which rolled out in the spring and feature the company's custom M1 chip.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>What will Apple say about the next iPhone at earnings time?

Analysts tracked by FactSet are calling for $34.2 billion in iPhone revenue, up 29.4% from a year earlier.\nSome encouraging signals came from Verizon Communications Inc. $(VZ)$, which recently ran a big iPhone promotion as it sought to match discounts at rival AT&T Inc. $(T)$\n\"Momentum built throughout the quarter, and we timed our promotions to take full advantage of the economic recovery and increased customer activity,\" Verizon Chief Financial Officer Matthew Ellis said on his company's earnings call. About 20% of Verizon's consumer base is now using 5G-enabled phones .\nRaymond James analyst Chris Caso noted that the quantity of upgrades might not even be the most important factor, as his analysis of iPhone carrier deals from last year found that they can be helpful in driving a greater \"mix\" of more expensive devices.\n\"Consumers appear to have been willing to pay the few dollars per month to upgrade to higher-end models, if the base model was offered for free,\" he wrote, based on analyzing last year's subsidies.\nUBS analyst David Vogt is also feeling upbeat about the business heading into the fiscal third-quarter report, pointing to positive signs in the telecommunications industry like the \"aggressive promotions\" and improving retail traffic at wireless stores.\nBut he notes that demand may not be the big issue for Apple, as the company's overall upside is \"gated\" due to supply constraints plaguing the broader electronics industry and beyond. Apple addressed these issues on its earnings call, projecting a $3 billion to $4 billion negative revenue impact in the June quarter that was mainly expected to affect the Mac and iPad businesses.\nAnother key narrative is how those two segments held up more generally given a return to more normalized activities outside the home. Apple's Macs and iPads were popular purchases among those needing new hardware to power remote working and schooling, but analysts will be looking to see whether the personal-computer boom is sustainable.\n\"While Apple will have to contend with lapping very difficult pandemic comparisons in the [June quarter] and for several quarters thereafter, we see several near-term tailwinds from both categories,\" wrote CFRA analyst Angelo Zino. \"We see corporate upgrades on the enterprise level becoming a bigger contributor to demand as the economy fully reopens across the globe.\"\nThe coming results will also be the first gauge on demand for Apple's new colorful iMac lineup and powerful iPad Pro , both of which rolled out in the spring and feature the company's custom M1 chip.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":450,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174988359,"gmtCreate":1627057931671,"gmtModify":1703483608057,"author":{"id":"4088921736403540","authorId":"4088921736403540","authorIdStr":"4088921736403540","name":"Magzac84","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1a877684ffad5336102af73fe09bf766","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088921736403540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sure?&nbsp;","listText":"Sure?&nbsp;","text":"Sure?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/174988359","repostId":"2153983997","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153983997","pubTimestamp":1627045860,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153983997?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-23 21:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Buy Whether or Not a Market Crash Is Near","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153983997","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Maybe the market is about to crash, and maybe it isn't.

The drug maker also said it's developing a booster specifically targeting delta, which is now thought to be the dominant strain of the virus in the U.S.</p>\n<p>Health officials and medical experts, on the other hand, continue to say there is no scientific case for COVID-19 boosters right now.</p>\n<p>\"I think people are hesitant to support booster dosing because at least for now it's unnecessary,\" Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, told MarketWatch in an email.</p>\n<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, on Sunday told CNN on Thursday saying something similar.</p>\n<p>And, in an email sent Friday afternoon and viewed by MarketWatch, National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins told staff that \"Pfizer seems to have gotten way out over their skis here,\" indicating that the company may be getting ahead of itself when it comes to boosters.</p>\n<p>But if the science evolves and it indicates that boosters are needed, that's going to present a new set of communication challenges for the Biden administration.</p>\n<p>\"It's distracting if people are getting an impression from statements from companies that they need\" to get a booster, said Dr. Lynn Goldman, an epidemiologist and dean of the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. \"We're still trying to get people to immunize in the first place.\"</p>\n<p>The vaccination rate in the U.S. has flatlined at 48% . Telling people they need to get a third shot down line could lead to confusion, frustration, or an even more firm \"no\" from the hesitant.</p>\n<p>\"When you have so many Americans that are hesitant to get vaccinated, articulating to them that, 'Hey, the initial vaccines aren't going to be enough forever, and you're going to have to do this on a regular occurrence,' could make them more skeptical of the vaccines and less willing to get vaccinated initially,\" said Chris Meekins, a health policy analyst at Raymond James.</p>\n<p>The case for boosters is complicated</p>\n<p>Many public-health experts have said they expect booster doses will be necessary as immunity wanes and new variants emerge. However, much of that need is going to be based on when protection begins to diminish and in whom.</p>\n<p>Some experts believe booster shots will only be recommended for certain vulnerable segments of the population, like the elderly or people who are immunocompromised, and not for generally healthy Americans who want to reinforce the level of protection they already have. An influential CDC committee is expected to meet July 22 to discuss whether immunocompromised people need a booster shot.</p>\n<p>\"We believe the likely upcoming spike in cases and deaths may tip the balance\" in favor of boosters, RBC Capital Markets analyst Brian Abrahams told investors this week. \"Should a targeted booster approach be taken, we believe this provides evidence that immunosuppressed individuals and those with co-morbidities should be among the first dosed.\"</p>\n<p>This discussion is already playing out in other countries.</p>\n<p>A group of French doctors published a letter , outlining who can get a third shot depending on age, health status, and profession. Israel is now offering third doses to the immunocompromised.</p>\n<p>In the U.S., vaccine makers face a specific set of obstacles. One has to do with ensuring supply at a time when the authorized vaccines developed by Johnson &amp; Johnson <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">$(JNJ)$</a>, Moderna <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRNA\">$(MRNA)$</a>, and Pfizer are still bound by the requirements of the Defense Production Act, which can require companies based here to give priority to the U.S. during the public-health emergency.</p>\n<p>\"It looks like the pharmaceutical company is at odds with our federal health officials,\" said Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency room physician, \"when, actually, this is a matter of the pharmaceutical companies wanting to be prepared, wanting to have the boosters available, if and when they're needed.\"</p>\n<p>Moderna is studying booster doses, too. It announced a new deal in June with the U.S. for 200 million doses, \"which could be used for primary vaccination, including of children, or possibly as a booster if that becomes necessary to continue to defeat the pandemic,\" Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said in a news release. The company has signed agreements that could include booster shots with Argentina, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland.</p>\n<p>Pfizer has not announced any deals that include boosters with the U.S.</p>\n<p>\"I think the company believes that it can garner public opinion to support a booster over people's fear of the most recent delta variant and are capitalizing on that opportunity to try to force the government in the direction they want it to go,\" Meekins said.</p>\n<p>How long does immunity from vaccines last?</p>\n<p>In a nutshell: We don't know. There are a still a number of unanswered questions about the \"durability\" of immunity.</p>\n<p>These include: What is the level of neutralizing antibody titers that still provide protection? Will T-cell response provide immunity if antibodies wane? When will we have a test that assesses antibody levels? When will the FDA establish a \"correlate\" of protection? Will only the most vulnerable people need a boost?</p>\n<p>To further complicate things, this is the first time we've had a vaccine for a coronavirus and the first time that mRNA shots have ever been deployed. Those factors create additional unknowns. And so without answers to some or all of these questions, we are largely stuck guessing.</p>\n<p>\"We basically are operating, in my view, in a fact-free zone,\" Goldman said. \"I don't think it at all irrational to get a EUA for boosters right now. I see the rationale.
