That's so January. The crowd has moved on to a new darling outside the S&P 500.","content":"<p>Still think <b>GameStop</b> is the moneymaking Meme-stock to own? That's so January; the crowd has moved on.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPRT\">Support.com</a></b> erupted out of nowhere this month and is suddenly stealing the Reddit-crowd's affection. And for good reason: It's fast pushing GameStop aside. Shares of Support.com are up 1,583% just this year. That puts it ahead of the still-impressive 1,041% year-to-date rise of GameStop.</p>\n<p>Just Monday, SPRT stock is up 9.78, or nearly 40%, to 36.10. Shares are up more than 200%, just in the past month.</p>\n<p>And now, Support.com is the No. 2 top stock among all the stocks in S&amp;P 1500 and S&amp;P Completion indexes this year. And it's making a run at the No. 1 spot still hung onto by <b>AMC Entertainment</b> with its 2,017% gain this year.</p>\n<p>And that difference is adding up to real money. Had you plunked down $10,000 on Support.com in January, it would now be worth $168,319. That's already nearly 50% more than you would have made in that time on GameStop. And it's only 25% shy of the $211,698 you'd have if you owned AMC Entertainment.</p>\n<h2>Support.com Comes Out Of Nowhere</h2>\n<p>What is Support.com? It's a tiny $638 million in market value company that provides tech support for employees who work from home. Yes, they're the people who tell you to reboot your computer when your email isn't working.</p>\n<p>And this is certainly not a company on Wall Street's radar. There are no current analysts following the stock, says S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence. That means there are no valid earnings or revenue estimates, much less a price target.</p>\n<p>The company reported having total assets of $46 million and liabilities of $5.7 million at the end of the last quarter in June. And during the period, it reported a net loss of $799,000 on revenue of nearly $8 million. Keep in mind, it made $617,000 in the same year-ago period on 33% higher revenue.</p>\n<p>The company is due to report its next quarterly results on Nov. 12. It's not in any major market indices, such as the S&amp;P Small Cap 600, much less the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<h2>What's The Draw Of Support.com?</h2>\n<p>Investors are looking to Support.com as the latest opportunity to rush into a stock with heavy short interest and run it up.</p>\n<p>More than 25% of Support.com's shares outstanding are still in the hands of short-sellers. That's much higher than the 18% of AMC Entertainment shares being shorted and just 10% of GameStop.</p>\n<p>When a stock is heavily shorted like Support.com, bearish investors borrow the stock and sell the shares. But if the stock rises, these shorts are forced to buy the shares back. If they don't, they face unlimited losses.

Companies in numerous industries are racing to adopt AI to improve operations and the customer experience, or make sense of the massive amounts of data available. We asked three Motley Fool contributors to highlight <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> company that's making strides in AI that would be worth buying and holding for the next decade. They chose <b>Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), <b>Etsy</b> (NASDAQ:ETSY), and <b>Zebra Technologies</b> (NASDAQ:ZBRA).</p>\n<h2>Alphabet: An AI pioneer</h2>\n<p><b>Danny Vena (Alphabet): </b>No list of AI innovators would be complete without Alphabet. AI had been around for decades, but back in 2011, Google began its pioneering work in the field of deep learning with the Google Brain. Noted AI researcher and Stanford adjunct professor Andrew Ng collaborated with Google scientists, and the rest -- as they say -- is history.</p>\n<p>The first major breakthrough came in 2012 when the self-learning AI system taught itself to recognize cats from 10 million images culled from YouTube videos. That might seem frivolous by today's standards, but it paved the way for significant advances in visual and speech recognition, which are now staple technologies powering smartphones.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16a386153d7c90c6da6ca6476892c93e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>Google doubled down on AI with its $400 million acquisition of DeepMind in 2014. The company developed a system that could defeat the world's top players in the ancient Chinese game of Go, which is universally acknowledged as the one of the most sophisticated and difficult games to master.</p>\n<p>There are also a growing number of applications in the medical field. Google AI has been able to detect signs of diabetic retinopathy in eye scans with 90% accuracy, and has outperformed radiologists at identifying breast cancer in mammograms.</p>\n<p>That's not to mention Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car segment. The system, which was developed in 2009, is believed to be among the most advanced autonomous vehicle systems in the world. Waymo vehicles have been driving the streets around the suburbs of Phoenix for years, and its vehicles there haven't required drivers since last year. It's also testing its mettle in San Francisco and Mountain View, California. The company is considering expanding its robotaxi service, while also mulling the idea of leasing its system to automakers.</p>\n<p>So what does all this mean? Because it's still early days for AI and there are so many potential applications, it's difficult to quantify just how much Google's AI technology could be worth to Alphabet. Waymo's self-driving technology alone could be worth billions of dollars, but estimates vary widely. Back in 2018, Waymo was valued as high as $175 billion, though recent funding rounds have valued the unit at a more modest $30 billion.</p>\n<p>Internally, however, Alphabet is getting its money's worth from Google's AI. The technology helps make Google Maps, News, and Assistant smarter, and powers Google Translate to increase the accuracy of its translations. Perhaps most importantly, however, it helps boost the accuracy of Google's flagship search and digital advertising, which ultimately pay the bills.</p>\n<p>In the second quarter, Alphabet's revenue of $61.88 billion surged 62% year over year, though part of that was the result of easier comps. This helped push earnings per share to $27.26, climbing 169%.</p>\n<p>It would be almost impossible to pin down just what this AI is worth to investors. That said, given its dominance in both search and digital advertising and its early and continuing investment in AI, it's easy to see why Alphabet should be a key AI stock to buy and hold for a decade.</p>\n<h2>Etsy: Utilizing AI for a better customer experience</h2>\n<p><b>Will Healy (Etsy): </b>Etsy's description as a community of sellers who offer artisan products, craft supplies, and vintage goods does not make it sound like much of an AI company on the surface. However, its 5.2 million active sellers and 90 million active buyers depend heavily on artificial intelligence to find one another. To facilitate its AI capabilities, Etsy completed a migration to <b>Alphabet</b>'s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google Cloud in early 2020.</p>\n<p>Also, on Etsy's Q1 2021 earnings call, CEO Josh Silverman talked about a focus on multivariate models powered by machine learning. This involves collecting data to deliver more personalized search results. Silverman wants machine learning to so finely tune these results that \"Etsy truly feels made just for you.\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/085921427b335a1b777c7d40501202f3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>Despite these efforts, investors sold off the stock after the release of its Q2 earnings. Revenue rose by 23% to $529 million in the second quarter. Net income only increased 2% year over year in Q2 to $98 million as a surge in operating expenses of 47% almost negated a $12.5 million income tax benefit.&nbsp;With no 2021 guidance and only 14% year-over-year revenue growth forecasted for Q3, investors sold off the stock.</p>\n<p>Still, the first six months of 2021 brought revenue of $242 million, 122% higher than the first two quarters of 2020.&nbsp;Moreover, Etsy stock has risen by almost 40% over the last 12 months despite trading 30% below its 2021 high. Additionally, the P/E ratio of 50 takes the earnings multiple near historical lows. This could present an opportunity to buy a prosperous AI stock at a significant discount.</p>\n<h2>Zebra: Moving beyond the barcode</h2>\n<p><b>Brian Withers</b> <b>(Zebra Technologies): </b>Those familiar with Zebra Technologies probably know it for its barcode printers and scanners, but the company is moving beyond its roots into exciting new areas. CEO Anders Gustafsson explains this new direction as the Enterprise Asset Intelligence vision. This effort is focused on products and solutions that \"sense,\" \"analyze,\" and \"act.\" For Zebra's customers that manufacture, distribute, or sell goods, these three functions are incredibly important for tracking and managing their assets.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d45c22500f9fb7ce2abbae2a40513c8b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>For the last several years, Zebra has been enhancing its product and solution lineup along this vision by making a number of key acquisitions in smart technology. These key purchases have brought additional capabilities in house, such as robotics, AI, computer vision (a subset of AI), and machine learning (a branch of AI).</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Acquisition</p></th>\n   <th><p>Announce Date</p></th>\n   <th><p>Price</p></th>\n   <th><p>Specialty</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Fetch Robotics</p></td>\n   <td><p>July 2021</p></td>\n   <td><p>$290 million</p></td>\n   <td><p>Autonomous mobile robots and AI</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Adaptive Vision</p></td>\n   <td><p>May 2021</p></td>\n   <td><p>Not disclosed</p></td>\n   <td><p>Computer vision</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Cortexica Vision Systems</p></td>\n   <td><p>Nov. 2019</p></td>\n   <td><p>Not disclosed</p></td>\n   <td><p>Computer vision</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Profitech</p></td>\n   <td><p>May 2019</p></td>\n   <td><p>Not disclosed</p></td>\n   <td><p>Machine learning and prescriptive analytics</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Crunchbase and company news releases.</p>\n<p>As Zebra looks to deepen its ties with the manufacturing and fulfillment industries, its two most recent acquisitions are critical enablers. On the most recent earnings call, Gustafsson explained that its merger and acquisition activities will enable it to capture \"newer markets to digitize and automate workflows.\" As its customer processes get more complex, artificial intelligence will be a critical component to make all of this smart technology work together.</p>\n<p>The company has a full suite of well-known products already and is growing its business handily. Last quarter the company saw 44% top-line growth and profits grew even faster at a triple-digit rate year over year. Its balance sheet is a bit debt-heavy with $338 million in cash and equivalents versus $996 million in debt, but its cash flow is stellar. For the first half of the year, Zebra generated a solid $539 million in operational cash flow.</p>\n<p>Zebra has one foot in the present with a growing business that is critical for customers today, and one foot in the future with its Enterprise Asset Intelligence vision, smart acquisition strategy, and use of artificial intelligence to make it all work together.

Companies in numerous industries are racing to adopt AI to improve operations and the customer experience, or make sense of the massive amounts of data available. We asked three Motley Fool contributors to highlight one company that's making strides in AI that would be worth buying and holding for the next decade. They chose Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY), and Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ:ZBRA).\nAlphabet: An AI pioneer\nDanny Vena (Alphabet): No list of AI innovators would be complete without Alphabet. AI had been around for decades, but back in 2011, Google began its pioneering work in the field of deep learning with the Google Brain. Noted AI researcher and Stanford adjunct professor Andrew Ng collaborated with Google scientists, and the rest -- as they say -- is history.\nThe first major breakthrough came in 2012 when the self-learning AI system taught itself to recognize cats from 10 million images culled from YouTube videos. That might seem frivolous by today's standards, but it paved the way for significant advances in visual and speech recognition, which are now staple technologies powering smartphones.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nGoogle doubled down on AI with its $400 million acquisition of DeepMind in 2014. The company developed a system that could defeat the world's top players in the ancient Chinese game of Go, which is universally acknowledged as the one of the most sophisticated and difficult games to master.\nThere are also a growing number of applications in the medical field. Google AI has been able to detect signs of diabetic retinopathy in eye scans with 90% accuracy, and has outperformed radiologists at identifying breast cancer in mammograms.\nThat's not to mention Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car segment. The system, which was developed in 2009, is believed to be among the most advanced autonomous vehicle systems in the world. Waymo vehicles have been driving the streets around the suburbs of Phoenix for years, and its vehicles there haven't required drivers since last year. It's also testing its mettle in San Francisco and Mountain View, California. The company is considering expanding its robotaxi service, while also mulling the idea of leasing its system to automakers.\nSo what does all this mean? Because it's still early days for AI and there are so many potential applications, it's difficult to quantify just how much Google's AI technology could be worth to Alphabet. Waymo's self-driving technology alone could be worth billions of dollars, but estimates vary widely. Back in 2018, Waymo was valued as high as $175 billion, though recent funding rounds have valued the unit at a more modest $30 billion.\nInternally, however, Alphabet is getting its money's worth from Google's AI. The technology helps make Google Maps, News, and Assistant smarter, and powers Google Translate to increase the accuracy of its translations. Perhaps most importantly, however, it helps boost the accuracy of Google's flagship search and digital advertising, which ultimately pay the bills.\nIn the second quarter, Alphabet's revenue of $61.88 billion surged 62% year over year, though part of that was the result of easier comps. This helped push earnings per share to $27.26, climbing 169%.\nIt would be almost impossible to pin down just what this AI is worth to investors. That said, given its dominance in both search and digital advertising and its early and continuing investment in AI, it's easy to see why Alphabet should be a key AI stock to buy and hold for a decade.\nEtsy: Utilizing AI for a better customer experience\nWill Healy (Etsy): Etsy's description as a community of sellers who offer artisan products, craft supplies, and vintage goods does not make it sound like much of an AI company on the surface. However, its 5.2 million active sellers and 90 million active buyers depend heavily on artificial intelligence to find one another. To facilitate its AI capabilities, Etsy completed a migration to Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google Cloud in early 2020.\nAlso, on Etsy's Q1 2021 earnings call, CEO Josh Silverman talked about a focus on multivariate models powered by machine learning. This involves collecting data to deliver more personalized search results. Silverman wants machine learning to so finely tune these results that \"Etsy truly feels made just for you.\"\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nDespite these efforts, investors sold off the stock after the release of its Q2 earnings. Revenue rose by 23% to $529 million in the second quarter. Net income only increased 2% year over year in Q2 to $98 million as a surge in operating expenses of 47% almost negated a $12.5 million income tax benefit. With no 2021 guidance and only 14% year-over-year revenue growth forecasted for Q3, investors sold off the stock.\nStill, the first six months of 2021 brought revenue of $242 million, 122% higher than the first two quarters of 2020. Moreover, Etsy stock has risen by almost 40% over the last 12 months despite trading 30% below its 2021 high. Additionally, the P/E ratio of 50 takes the earnings multiple near historical lows. This could present an opportunity to buy a prosperous AI stock at a significant discount.\nZebra: Moving beyond the barcode\nBrian Withers (Zebra Technologies): Those familiar with Zebra Technologies probably know it for its barcode printers and scanners, but the company is moving beyond its roots into exciting new areas. CEO Anders Gustafsson explains this new direction as the Enterprise Asset Intelligence vision. This effort is focused on products and solutions that \"sense,\" \"analyze,\" and \"act.\" For Zebra's customers that manufacture, distribute, or sell goods, these three functions are incredibly important for tracking and managing their assets.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nFor the last several years, Zebra has been enhancing its product and solution lineup along this vision by making a number of key acquisitions in smart technology. These key purchases have brought additional capabilities in house, such as robotics, AI, computer vision (a subset of AI), and machine learning (a branch of AI).\n\n\n\nAcquisition\nAnnounce Date\nPrice\nSpecialty\n\n\n\n\nFetch Robotics\nJuly 2021\n$290 million\nAutonomous mobile robots and AI\n\n\nAdaptive Vision\nMay 2021\nNot disclosed\nComputer vision\n\n\nCortexica Vision Systems\nNov. 2019\nNot disclosed\nComputer vision\n\n\nProfitech\nMay 2019\nNot disclosed\nMachine learning and prescriptive analytics\n\n\n\nData source: Crunchbase and company news releases.\nAs Zebra looks to deepen its ties with the manufacturing and fulfillment industries, its two most recent acquisitions are critical enablers. On the most recent earnings call, Gustafsson explained that its merger and acquisition activities will enable it to capture \"newer markets to digitize and automate workflows.\" As its customer processes get more complex, artificial intelligence will be a critical component to make all of this smart technology work together.\nThe company has a full suite of well-known products already and is growing its business handily. Last quarter the company saw 44% top-line growth and profits grew even faster at a triple-digit rate year over year. Its balance sheet is a bit debt-heavy with $338 million in cash and equivalents versus $996 million in debt, but its cash flow is stellar. For the first half of the year, Zebra generated a solid $539 million in operational cash flow.\nZebra has one foot in the present with a growing business that is critical for customers today, and one foot in the future with its Enterprise Asset Intelligence vision, smart acquisition strategy, and use of artificial intelligence to make it all work together. Over the last decade, this industrial equipment specialist's stock grew by over 1,500% for shareholders. The next decade may not be as lucrative for investors, but it's likely that this winner will keep on winning. Interested investors would do well to buy a few shares today and hold until at least 2031.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":387,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898892214,"gmtCreate":1628482659038,"gmtModify":1703506819194,"author":{"id":"4088998199430630","authorId":"4088998199430630","name":"Wengyeeee","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f9fb04f5b01cc0756cde5b0244b7240f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088998199430630","authorIdStr":"4088998199430630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/898892214","repostId":"2157492988","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2157492988","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1628480467,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2157492988?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-09 11:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Top Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in August","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2157492988","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These three large-cap stocks provide growth and stability.","content":"<p>Investors need large-cap stocks in their portfolios.

Although its market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, the company continues to have growth drivers.</p>\n<p>Despite concerns that the iPhone market was saturated, Apple grew revenue attributable to the device 50% over the prior year and boosted total revenue higher by 36%. Although Apple easily topped analyst expectations for revenue and earnings, investors reacted negatively to commentary from CEO Tim Cook that chip shortages could impact iPhone and iPad sales in the current quarter.</p>\n<p>While shortages are never ideal, in the short term this is an example of a \"good problem.\" Demand outstripping supply means your product is coveted, and it's unlikely many iPhone users will step out of its ecosystem to buy an Android. In fact, it's this sticky user base that will power Apple's next phase of growth, as Apple has been aggressive at monetizing its installed base with services and recurring subscription-based revenue.</p>\n<p>Revenue attributable to services grew 33% over the prior year, an acceleration from the 27% growth rate the prior quarter. During the earnings call, Cook noted the company has nearly 700 million subscribers, a 27% increase from the prior year. Ignore the short-term chip bottleneck, Apple has many growth levers to pull going forward.</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 Top Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in August</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 Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in August\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-09 11:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/07/3-top-large-cap-stocks-to-buy-in-august/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors need large-cap stocks in their portfolios.

These proven companies provide the bulk of index returns, as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are weighted by market capitalization. Large cap stocks have also earned their massive sizes due to their histories of exceeding expectations and making patient investors steady returns.\nThe trade-off has always been framed as sacrificing growth for the stability large-cap stocks provide. But investors are increasingly rejecting this false narrative as many large-cap tech stocks continue to post above-average growth rates. These three large-cap companies offer the stability of large-cap stocks, with above-average growth potential.\nImage Source: Getty Images\nAmazon's \"slowing growth\" narrative is too bearish\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made quite a few investors rich on its way to a $1.7 trillion market cap, including its founder Jeff Bezos -- now the second-richest man in the world. If you had invested $10,000 at its market debut in 1997, your stake would be worth more than $20 million today!\nThat said, shares of Amazon are trailing the S&P 500 this year, posting a 3% return versus 17% for the index. Despite posting a year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, Amazon missed analyst expectations of a 29% top-line beat. Additionally, the company guided for third-quarter revenue to come in at $109 billion at the midpoint, below consensus estimates of $119 billion.\nAfter being faulted for having no earnings for years, Amazon smashed earnings per share estimates by 23% despite missing on the top line. Ironically, investors ignored the increased profitability of the business to focus on slowing growth.\nThere are reasons for long-term investors to consider this nothing but noise. Pandemic lockdowns boosted demand for e-commerce last year, which made 2021 a difficult year for comparisons. However, Amazon's higher-margin business segments like third-party seller services (38%), AWS (37%), and subscription services (32%) all outperformed analyst expectations.\nHowever, what's exciting is the company's catch-all other division, which is mostly advertising. During the quarter, revenue attributable to other increased 87% and is now half the size of AWS. Amazon's temporary sell-off has given long-term investors an attractive entry point.\nFacebook's slowing user-growth isn't an issue\nFacebook's (NASDAQ:FB) Mark Zuckerberg isn't as rich as Bezos, trailing him by an estimated $70 billion, but at 37 he still has a long career ahead of him. Zuckerberg has grown Facebook from an idea to a $1 trillion market cap, and shares are currently 840% higher than their $38 IPO price nine years ago. And there are still long-term drivers drivers ahead for the company.\nFacebook's stock rally was halted in its tracks due to second-quarter earnings, despite growing revenue by 56% and EPS by 101% -- both higher than consensus estimates. Investors were disappointed with the company's commentary on revenue growth in the back half of 2021 and the fact that daily active users in the lucrative U.S. and Canadian markets declined from the prior year's corresponding period.\nLike Amazon, Facebook is seeing a return to normal after the pandemic. Social media usage understandably exploded during the pandemic, and a return to more in-person events was always going to impact the company's engagement.\nDespite the modest yearly decline in daily active users (DAUs) (1.5%), the company still has 195 million people across the U.S. and Canada logging into a Facebook product daily, and can monetize users by raising costs per ad, like it did this quarter.\nZuckerberg is now focused on his most audacious plans yet -- the metaverse. The company acquired virtual reality company Oculus in 2014, and plans to use its headsets to create an entirely new virtual world for users. The potential upside could be bigger than anything it's done yet.\nApple is going from strength to strength\nBy now, you might have identified a theme in the above stocks, as all are mega-cap tech companies that sold off after earnings. Against that backdrop, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a natural fit, as shares moderately sold off after the company reported fiscal third-quarter earnings. Although its market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, the company continues to have growth drivers.\nDespite concerns that the iPhone market was saturated, Apple grew revenue attributable to the device 50% over the prior year and boosted total revenue higher by 36%. Although Apple easily topped analyst expectations for revenue and earnings, investors reacted negatively to commentary from CEO Tim Cook that chip shortages could impact iPhone and iPad sales in the current quarter.\nWhile shortages are never ideal, in the short term this is an example of a \"good problem.\" Demand outstripping supply means your product is coveted, and it's unlikely many iPhone users will step out of its ecosystem to buy an Android. In fact, it's this sticky user base that will power Apple's next phase of growth, as Apple has been aggressive at monetizing its installed base with services and recurring subscription-based revenue.\nRevenue attributable to services grew 33% over the prior year, an acceleration from the 27% growth rate the prior quarter. During the earnings call, Cook noted the company has nearly 700 million subscribers, a 27% increase from the prior year. Ignore the short-term chip bottleneck, Apple has many growth levers to pull going forward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":511,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":818294052,"gmtCreate":1630411154476,"gmtModify":1676530295443,"author":{"id":"4088998199430630","authorId":"4088998199430630","name":"Wengyeeee","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f9fb04f5b01cc0756cde5b0244b7240f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088998199430630","authorIdStr":"4088998199430630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/818294052","repostId":"1153871779","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":425,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":818294193,"gmtCreate":1630411161612,"gmtModify":1676530295445,"author":{"id":"4088998199430630","authorId":"4088998199430630","name":"Wengyeeee","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f9fb04f5b01cc0756cde5b0244b7240f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088998199430630","authorIdStr":"4088998199430630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/818294193","repostId":"1181079166","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1181079166","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630371166,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1181079166?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-31 08:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"9 Cash-Rich Stocks That Can Better Weather the Fed’s Taper Risks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1181079166","media":"Barron's","summary":"Investors have been waiting for the Federal Reserve to rein in its monetary support as the economy s","content":"<p>Investors have been waiting for the Federal Reserve to rein in its monetary support as the economy stays on track for a healthy rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>In response to the pandemic last year, the Fed launched an emergency bond-buying program that includes $120 billion in monthly purchase of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities purchases.
