But investors should brace for disappointment.</p>\n<p>Economists polled by FactSet expect the U.S. economy to have grown at a seasonally adjusted 8.5% annualized rate in the June quarter,up from a 6.4% rate in the March quarter. Investors can expect a surge in consumption (which makes up about two-thirds of GDP) as vaccinated consumers over recent months headed back out into a reopened economy. Economists also see a sizeable jump in business fixed investment during the quarter.</p>\n<p>We note, though, that&nbsp;the Atlanta Fed on Wednesday cut its GDP&nbsp;Now estimate&nbsp;to 6.4% from 7.4% a day earlier after the U.S. Census released inventory data. Wholesale inventories rose 0.8% in June, down from a 1.3% pace in May and short of the 1.1% consensus estimate.

But investors should brace for disappointment.\nEconomists polled by FactSet expect the U.S. economy to have grown at a seasonally adjusted 8.5% annualized rate in the June quarter,up from a 6.4% rate in the March quarter. Investors can expect a surge in consumption (which makes up about two-thirds of GDP) as vaccinated consumers over recent months headed back out into a reopened economy. Economists also see a sizeable jump in business fixed investment during the quarter.\nWe note, though, that the Atlanta Fed on Wednesday cut its GDP Now estimate to 6.4% from 7.4% a day earlier after the U.S. Census released inventory data. Wholesale inventories rose 0.8% in June, down from a 1.3% pace in May and short of the 1.1% consensus estimate.

Nvidia</h2>\n<p>Semiconductor maker <b>Nvidia</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA) has continued to record explosive growth throughout the ups and downs of the pandemic. The company is known for its graphics processing units (GPUs), which are used in self-driving cars, video games, data centers, and other applications.</p>\n<p>In the first quarter of Nvidia's fiscal 2022 (ended May 2), the company reported that total revenue surged 84% from the year-ago period. Nvidia's gaming and data center businesses accounted for the lion's share of this incredible top-line growth, with these two segments registering revenue increases of 106% and 79%, respectively, year over year. And it wasn't just Nvidia's top line that was looking good in the first quarter -- its bottom-line growth was even higher, at 109% year over year.</p>\n<p>Its rapid growth isn't preventing it from increasing its cash position or paying down its existing liabilities. As of the first quarter, the company reported total assets of about $31 billion, with approximately $13 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Nvidia also reported total current liabilities (obligations due within the coming 12 months) of a far lower $4 billion.</p>\n<p>According to a report by Jon Peddie Research, as of the first quarter of 2021, Nvidia held a whopping 81% share of the entire discrete GPU market. The broader semiconductor market (in which NVIDIA remains a key player) is on track to achieve a global valuation of more than $803 billion by 2028, according to <i>Fortune</i> Business Insights.</p>\n<p>Nvidia executed a 4-for-1 stock split on July 20, bringing shares down from $750 to a price just shy of $200 at the time of this writing. Even so, the stock is trading about 85% higher than it was 12 months ago. Now looks like a great time to grab shares of this high-flying tech stock before it soars even higher.</p>\n<h2>2. Apple</h2>\n<p>FAANG stock <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) is the kind of investment that you can keep adding to your portfolio as the years go by, to generate consistent growth when the market is up as well as when it's down. Apple has continued to generate record balance-sheet growth despite the uncertainty of the pandemic economy, and shares of the company have risen 20% since the beginning of this year alone.</p>\n<p>In the first half of Apple's fiscal 2021 (ended March 27), total net sales increased 34% compared to the year-ago period. Net income during the six months surged by a healthy 56% from a year ago.</p>\n<p>iPhone sales continue to make up the lion's share of Apple's total net sales. In the first half of fiscal 2021, the iPhone segment generated net sales of $113.5 billion. Apple's five core business segments -- iPhone; Mac; iPad; Wearables, Home, and Accessories; and Services -- generated year-over-year sales growth of 34%, 42%, 57%, 28%, and 25%, respectively, in the first six months of fiscal 2021. The company's total net sales for the six-month period were $201 billion.</p>\n<p>The smartphone market alone is expected to hit a global valuation of nearly $1.4 trillion by the year 2026, and Apple remains <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the top manufacturers of smartphones in the world. Its substantial brand and ever-expanding market share driven by its vast range of lucrative products, coupled with consistent balance-sheet growth and share-price gains, make Apple a no-brainer stock you can buy and hold forever.</p>\n<h2>3. Pfizer</h2>\n<p>Another compelling stock for long-term investors to consider buying right now is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, <b>Pfizer</b> (NYSE:PFE). Shares are up by about 14% year to date. Investors can also enjoy dividend income from Pfizer. The stock has a hefty yield of about 3.7% at the time of this writing.</p>\n<p>Investors have increasingly flocked to buy shares of Pfizer over the past year on the heels of its COVID-19 vaccine success. The company's vaccine, which it developed with its German counterpart <b>BioNTech</b>, amassed $3.5 billion in revenue during the first quarter of 2021 and is expected to generate $26 billion for the full year.</p>\n<p>But investors shouldn't buy shares of Pfizer just because its COVID vaccine (now called Comirnaty) has been such a massive commercial success. The company, which has been in business since 1849, has a roster of products that continue to generate impressive revenue increases quarter after quarter. These products are spread across an array of therapeutic areas, including oncology, immunology, and rare diseases.</p>\n<p>For example, Pfizer's blockbuster drug Ibrance (for breast cancer) amassed worldwide revenue of about $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Top-selling drugs Inlyta (for advanced renal cell carcinoma) and Sutent (for a range of rare cancers) earned revenue of $229 million and $200 million, respectively, in the quarter. And Pfizer's blockbuster blood thinner Eliquis brought in a whopping $1.6 billion in revenue in the first-quarter period.</p>\n<p>First-quarter revenue and net income both increased 45% year over year, and the company expects remarkable revenue growth for the full year, projecting an increase of as much as 73% from 2020.</p>\n<p>According to a report by the news website Pharmaceutical Technology, Comirnaty is on track to remain the top-seller in the global COVID vaccine market over the next several years and is expected to bring in $55 billion in revenue by 2027. Pfizer has already inked a host of lucrative supply contracts for Comirnaty with delivery dates stretching out to the middle of this decade.</p>\n<p>And the company's vast stable of other top-selling products can drive continued balance-sheet gains, which will inevitably lead to steady share-price growth, making the dividend of this unstoppable healthcare stock icing on the cake.</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 Robinhood Stocks That Shrewd Investors Should Buy Right Now</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Top Robinhood Stocks That Shrewd Investors Should Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-29 17:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/28/3-top-robinhood-stocks-that-shrewd-investors-shoul/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Since its launch in 2013, Robinhood has seen explosive growth as a trading platform for retail investors, and younger traders in particular.

Pfizer has already inked a host of lucrative supply contracts for Comirnaty with delivery dates stretching out to the middle of this decade.\nAnd the company's vast stable of other top-selling products can drive continued balance-sheet gains, which will inevitably lead to steady share-price growth, making the dividend of this unstoppable healthcare stock icing on the cake.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":220,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805043973,"gmtCreate":1627828055692,"gmtModify":1703496344268,"author":{"id":"4089807936708660","authorId":"4089807936708660","authorIdStr":"4089807936708660","name":"dine","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089807936708660"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/805043973","repostId":"1147877145","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147877145","pubTimestamp":1627784916,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147877145?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-01 10:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Expect More Underwhelming Performance for SoFi Shares","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147877145","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The odds of a rapid rebound for fintech play SOFI stock appear dim.\n\nAsSoFiTechnologies(NASDAQ:SOFI)","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>The odds of a rapid rebound for fintech play SOFI stock appear dim.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>As<b>SoFiTechnologies</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SOFI</u></b>) stock falls back to around $15 per share, is now the time to buy?

Now Oracle is becoming an emerging force in both backend infrastructure technologies and software-as-a-service (SaaS). In other words, management is proving that what is considered outdated can quickly become hot again in the tech stock space.</p>\n<p>Investors have not been shy to bid ORCL stock up this year. Growth expectations mainly revolve around the cloud computing business. As a result, ORCL stock has soared by 56% over the last 12 months.</p>\n<p>And the rally accelerated after Oracle recently released its fourth-quarter and FY21 results. As a result, the shares hit a record high of $91.20. It currently trades around $87, up 35% in 2021. The current price supports a dividend yield of about 1.3%.</p>\n<p>Thanks to its success in the cloud, Oracle has outperformed many tech stocks currently underperforming the broader market this year. However, in the short run, ORCL stock is likely to be volatile and could see profit-taking</p>\n<p>Yet, long-term investors looking to generate lucrative returns in the rest of 2021 and beyond may consider buying the dips. Here’s why.</p>\n<p><b>How Recent Earnings Came</b></p>\n<p>Founded in 1977, Oracle is well-known for pioneering the first commercial SQL-based relational database management system. Now, with 430,000 customers in 175 countries, the tech giant provides database technology and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to businesses and global governments. Its market capitalization&nbsp; stands at $246 billion.</p>\n<p>Oracle released&nbsp;fourth-quarter resultsin mid-June. Total revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $11.2 billion. Non-GAAP net income went up buy 20% to $4.5 billion, and non-GAAP earnings per share soared 29% to $1.54.</p>\n<p>In fiscal 2021, Oracle generated almost $13.8 billion in free cash flow. As a result, management invested heavily in stock buybacks. Excluding the $3 billion spent on dividends, it bought back 329 million shares at a cost of $21 billion in the past year. Cash and equivalents ended the fiscal year at $30.1 billion.</p>\n<p>On the results, CEO Safra Catz remarked, “Our Q4 performance was absolutely outstanding with total revenue beating guidance by nearly $200 million, and non-GAAP earnings per share beating guidance by $0.24.”</p>\n<p>Cloud apps saw 20% to 30% growth. Yet, it has not led to a significant increase in overall revenue for the fiscal year 2021. Oracle’s revenue of $40.5 billion grew only by 4% compared to the previous year.</p>\n<p>ORCL stock is currently trading at 19x forward price-earnings multiple and 6.5x current sales. The 12-month price target range for Oracle stock extends from $60 to $115. The median estimate of $80 would mean a decline of about 9% from the current levels. Therefore, short-term investors could see the shares come under pressure.</p>\n<p><b>Long-Term Tailwinds For Oracle Stock</b></p>\n<p>Despite the potential short-term volatility, there are many reasons for investors to consider ORCL stock. It has a broad portfolio addressing different spectrums of enterprise technology. Revenues have been gaining momentum after the company has shifted resources to the cloud space.</p>\n<p>Management regards the cloud in terms of platform, application, and infrastructure layers. Put another way, Oracle offers a complete package that may lead to a even a stronger competitive advantage in the long term.</p>\n<p>The company has recently announced plans to increase spending on data centers. It will double capital expenditures to almost $4 billion. Investors are hoping this heavy spending will boost the cloud businesses.</p>\n<p>Market research firm&nbsp;Research and Markets&nbsp;predicts cloud spending could grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.5% through 2025. Although this implies a massive opportunity, Oracle currently has a minor share of the broad cloud market.</p>\n<p>The company still trails behind the market leader<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b>AMZN</b>) as well as other&nbsp; competitors<b>Microsoft</b>(NASDAQ:<b>MSFT</b>) and&nbsp;<b>Alphabet</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b>GOOG</b>, NASDAQ:<b>GOOGL</b>).

Now Oracle is becoming an emerging force in both backend infrastructure technologies and software-as-a-service (SaaS). In other words, management is proving that what is considered outdated can quickly become hot again in the tech stock space.\nInvestors have not been shy to bid ORCL stock up this year. Growth expectations mainly revolve around the cloud computing business. As a result, ORCL stock has soared by 56% over the last 12 months.\nAnd the rally accelerated after Oracle recently released its fourth-quarter and FY21 results. As a result, the shares hit a record high of $91.20. It currently trades around $87, up 35% in 2021. The current price supports a dividend yield of about 1.3%.\nThanks to its success in the cloud, Oracle has outperformed many tech stocks currently underperforming the broader market this year. However, in the short run, ORCL stock is likely to be volatile and could see profit-taking\nYet, long-term investors looking to generate lucrative returns in the rest of 2021 and beyond may consider buying the dips. Here’s why.\nHow Recent Earnings Came\nFounded in 1977, Oracle is well-known for pioneering the first commercial SQL-based relational database management system. Now, with 430,000 customers in 175 countries, the tech giant provides database technology and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to businesses and global governments. Its market capitalization  stands at $246 billion.\nOracle released fourth-quarter resultsin mid-June. Total revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $11.2 billion. Non-GAAP net income went up buy 20% to $4.5 billion, and non-GAAP earnings per share soared 29% to $1.54.\nIn fiscal 2021, Oracle generated almost $13.8 billion in free cash flow. As a result, management invested heavily in stock buybacks. Excluding the $3 billion spent on dividends, it bought back 329 million shares at a cost of $21 billion in the past year. Cash and equivalents ended the fiscal year at $30.1 billion.\nOn the results, CEO Safra Catz remarked, “Our Q4 performance was absolutely outstanding with total revenue beating guidance by nearly $200 million, and non-GAAP earnings per share beating guidance by $0.24.”\nCloud apps saw 20% to 30% growth. Yet, it has not led to a significant increase in overall revenue for the fiscal year 2021. Oracle’s revenue of $40.5 billion grew only by 4% compared to the previous year.\nORCL stock is currently trading at 19x forward price-earnings multiple and 6.5x current sales. The 12-month price target range for Oracle stock extends from $60 to $115. The median estimate of $80 would mean a decline of about 9% from the current levels. Therefore, short-term investors could see the shares come under pressure.\nLong-Term Tailwinds For Oracle Stock\nDespite the potential short-term volatility, there are many reasons for investors to consider ORCL stock. It has a broad portfolio addressing different spectrums of enterprise technology. Revenues have been gaining momentum after the company has shifted resources to the cloud space.\nManagement regards the cloud in terms of platform, application, and infrastructure layers. Put another way, Oracle offers a complete package that may lead to a even a stronger competitive advantage in the long term.\nThe company has recently announced plans to increase spending on data centers. It will double capital expenditures to almost $4 billion. Investors are hoping this heavy spending will boost the cloud businesses.\nMarket research firm Research and Markets predicts cloud spending could grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.5% through 2025. Although this implies a massive opportunity, Oracle currently has a minor share of the broad cloud market.\nThe company still trails behind the market leaderAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) as well as other  competitorsMicrosoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL). Recent quarterly metrics from these tech giants have shown the importance of cloud applications and services for revenues.\nIf management were to continue its recent success, it would be possible to see Oracle grow its market cap to rapidly in the coming quarters as well.\nThe Bottom Line on ORCL Stock\nOracle’s revenue mix now focuses more on subscriptions, especially in the cloud space. Investors would like to see the bottom line grow in the coming quarters. However, it might still be several quarters before management’s efforts translate into higher earnings.\nAlthough I remain bullish on ORCL stock for the long run, I expect some profit-taking in the coming weeks Interested investors could regard any drop toward the $80 to $82 level as a better entry point.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":291,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
