And now that jabs from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a> and Russia are facing newfound skepticism across Europe and the emerging world, Big Pharma is showing its true colors, and demanding a massive premium from all buyers of its jabs as Pfizer rolls out its first 'booster jabs'.</p>\n<p>It's interesting that they're raising prices, considering thatthe Pfizer jabhasn't exactlyheld up to the original promise of its efficacy.</p>\n<p>Despite their original promises not to profit off the vaccines until the pandemic had ended, both companies are now seizing the opportunity to hike prices charged to governments like those in the EU.</p>\n<p>According to the latest EU supply contracts seen by the FT, Pfizer raised the price of its COVID vaccine by more than 25% and Moderna raised its price by more than 10%. Both companies are expected to generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue this year as they sign new deals with countries anxious to secure supplies for potential booster shots.</p>\n<p>Perthe FT,the companies are raising prices now that Phase 3 trial data has showed that their mRNA jabs are more effective than the AstraZeneca and JNJ jabs. But let's not forget another important factor: that both the AstraZeneca and JNJ jabs have been linked to rare yet sometimes fatal blood clots that have made millions of people wary of taking the jabs. In Australia, for example, the AstraZeneca jab is much more available than the Pfizer jabs...but most patients would prefer to wait, despite the intense lockdowns imposed on the population.</p>\n<p>The new price for a Pfizer shot was €19.50 ($23) vs. €15.50 ($18) previously, according to the contracts seen by the FT.</p>\n<p>The insider who leaked the data to the FT said the pharmaceutical companies argued they deserved more money because their jabs offered increased \"value\" vs. competing vaccines.</p>\n<p>In reality, Big Pharma is just trying to do right by its shareholders as sales are expected to boom.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cb20962b05dd2a1a50089742b71bd99c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"889\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">As the FT points out, the EU supply deal was struck at a difficult time for the EU. The AstraZeneca jab that public health leaders had hoped would be the workhorse of the global rollout had been damaged by scandal. The big pharma firms effectively had their government customers over a barrel. What's more, EU members were grousing about \"unfair\" distribution of shots that left some countries short on jabs.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> last week, Pfizer last week raised its guidance for annual vaccine revenue by nearly <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-third to $33.5 billion, after sales of the shot helped almost double sales in the second quarter.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b4fabb71aac47f3f630bde49b1c1c8b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"937\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Fortunately for shareholders, sales to high-income countries likely won't be slowing any time soon as governments prepare to start inoculating minors, and booster shots are being doled out already in Israel.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And now that jabs from China and Russia are facing newfound skepticism across Europe and the emerging world, Big Pharma is showing its true colors, and demanding a massive premium from all buyers of its jabs as Pfizer rolls out its first 'booster jabs'.\nIt's interesting that they're raising prices, considering thatthe Pfizer jabhasn't exactlyheld up to the original promise of its efficacy.\nDespite their original promises not to profit off the vaccines until the pandemic had ended, both companies are now seizing the opportunity to hike prices charged to governments like those in the EU.\nAccording to the latest EU supply contracts seen by the FT, Pfizer raised the price of its COVID vaccine by more than 25% and Moderna raised its price by more than 10%. Both companies are expected to generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue this year as they sign new deals with countries anxious to secure supplies for potential booster shots.\nPerthe FT,the companies are raising prices now that Phase 3 trial data has showed that their mRNA jabs are more effective than the AstraZeneca and JNJ jabs. But let's not forget another important factor: that both the AstraZeneca and JNJ jabs have been linked to rare yet sometimes fatal blood clots that have made millions of people wary of taking the jabs. In Australia, for example, the AstraZeneca jab is much more available than the Pfizer jabs...but most patients would prefer to wait, despite the intense lockdowns imposed on the population.\nThe new price for a Pfizer shot was €19.50 ($23) vs. €15.50 ($18) previously, according to the contracts seen by the FT.\nThe insider who leaked the data to the FT said the pharmaceutical companies argued they deserved more money because their jabs offered increased \"value\" vs. competing vaccines.\nIn reality, Big Pharma is just trying to do right by its shareholders as sales are expected to boom.\nAs the FT points out, the EU supply deal was struck at a difficult time for the EU. The AstraZeneca jab that public health leaders had hoped would be the workhorse of the global rollout had been damaged by scandal. The big pharma firms effectively had their government customers over a barrel. What's more, EU members were grousing about \"unfair\" distribution of shots that left some countries short on jabs.\nJust last week, Pfizer last week raised its guidance for annual vaccine revenue by nearly one-third to $33.5 billion, after sales of the shot helped almost double sales in the second quarter.\n\nFortunately for shareholders, sales to high-income countries likely won't be slowing any time soon as governments prepare to start inoculating minors, and booster shots are being doled out already in Israel.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":221,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805076638,"gmtCreate":1627829476624,"gmtModify":1703496363415,"author":{"id":"4090190459838320","authorId":"4090190459838320","name":"Jagath","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f6d04b91f02b623beb7c20e1eb1f9ed","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090190459838320","authorIdStr":"4090190459838320"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/805076638","repostId":"1153879814","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153879814","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627784753,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1153879814?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-01 10:25","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"SIA, SIAE, Singtel potential candidates for company restructuring: Maybank","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153879814","media":"Singapore Business","summary":"Who will follow in SPH, Keppel and Sembcorp steps in corporate restructuring?\n\nDrivers are in play f","content":"<blockquote>\n <b><i>Who will follow in SPH, Keppel and Sembcorp steps in corporate restructuring?</i></b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Drivers are in play for more corporate restructuring from Singapore firms following the major restructuring plans of Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) and a possible merger between Keppel Offshore & Marine and Sembcorp Marine Ltd, according to a report by Maybank Kim Eng.</p>\n<p>According to the report, the drivers catalyzing these restructurings remain in play and are unlikely to retreat in the near-term.</p>\n<p>Some Singapore companies named by Maybank that are potential candidates for a corporate restructuring are Singtel, Singapore Airlines Group and the Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers.</p>\n<p>Maybank said Singtel is currently exploring options to review its stakes in associates and infrastructure assets to unlock latent value.</p>\n<p>Continued weakness and expected long lead time to recovery of international air travel may force certain rationalization for SIA and SIAE.

But even more importantly, its free cash flow (FCF) grew substantially, both in absolute numbers and FCF margins. As a result, I believe that GOOG stock is now worth at least 30% more or $3,554 per share. This article will describe how I came up with that valuation.</p>\n<p>On July 27, Alphabet, the parent of online search engine Google that makes most of its money from advertising, reported a huge 62% revenue gain on a year-0ver-year (YOY) basis. Even on a quarter-over-quarter basis, its revenue of $61.88 billion in Q2 grew by 11.87% from $55.314 billion in Q1.</p>\n<p>That implies an annualized run rate of 56.6%. So that coincides with its historical 62% YOY rate, implying that next year the company will show 57% YOY revenue growth.</p>\n<p>Of course, this assumes that advertising growth — and the economy in general — stay red hot.</p>\n<p><b>Estimating Google’s FCF</b></p>\n<p>But more importantly, its FCF rose to $16.394 billion, which can beseen on page 7of the earnings release. Alphabet is one of the few companies that help investors by calculating their own FCF figures. For example, last quarter its FCF was $13.347 billion (also onpage 7 of the Q1 report). This shows that its quarterly FCF growth was 22.83% just on a QOQ basis. That implies a huge run rate growth rate, although this is not what I will use to project out its future FCF.</p>\n<p>I think it is better to look at Alphabet’s FCF margins to forecast its future FCF. For example, in Q2 its $16.4 billion FCF represents 26.5% of its $61.88 billion in revenue. That is a huge gain over its FCF margins. Dividing $13.347 billion in Q1 FCF by revenue of $55.314 billion shows that Q1 FCF margins were just 24.1%.</p>\n<p>So, going forward let’s estimate that FCF will be 26.5% of its forecast revenue. For example,<i>Seeking Alpha</i>shows that analystsproject 2021 revenue of $250.29 billion. That implies its 2021 FCF will be $66.3 billion this year. But this is likely now already implied or discounted in the GOOG stock price.</p>\n<p>We should probably use 2022 estimates since the market will soon start valuing GOOG stock on its 2002 numbers. Seeking Alpha indicates $286.36 billion for 2022. Applying the 26.5% FCF margin to this estimate yields an FCF estimate of $75.89 billion. That is substantially higher than the estimates for 2021 FCF. We can now use this to value GOOG stock.</p>\n<p><b>What GOOG Stock Is Now Worth</b></p>\n<p>One way to value GOOG stock is to use its historical FCF yield and apply it to our future FCF estimate. For example, in the trailing 12 months (TTM) to June 30, Alphabet produced $58.536 billion in FCF. This can be seen on<i>Seeking Alpha’s</i>historical FCF pageby subtracting its TTM capex from its TTM cash flow from operations. Here is how we will use this.</p>\n<p>First, we calculate its historical TTM FCF yield. For example, the company now has a market capitalization of $1.826 trillion, according to<i>Yahoo! Finance</i>, which usually has the best calculations. Therefore, if we divide its TTM FCF of $58.536 by its $1,826 billion market cap, the FCF yield works out to 3.2%.</p>\n<p>Next, we can divide our forecast of $75.89 billion in 2022 FCF by its TTM FCF yield of 3.2%. That derives a new target market value of $2.37 trillion. In other words, GOOG stock has a target market cap that is 29.88% higher than today’s price. Therefore, using yesterday’s closing price of $2,730.81, its target price is $3,546 per share.</p>\n<p><b>What To Do With GOOG Stock</b></p>\n<p>In other words, starting with the company’s much higher FCF margins and projecting these out against 2022 revenue, GOOG stock should rise at least 30% sometime over the next year. That assumes a fairly high 3.2% FCF yield. It is very possible that the yield could rise, which would lower the target price.</p>\n<p>For example, consider this. Above, we projected that Alphabet will produce $66.3 billion in FCF this year. But that represents a higher 3.63% FCF yield on today’s $1,826 billion market cap. Applying this higher 3.63% FCF yield to its 2022 estimates would result in a lower price target than my 30% expected gain.</p>\n<p>I don’t think that is what will happen in reality. Don’t forget that we assume that the company will have a much higher FCF margin in 2022 than its historical TTM FCF. Therefore, the value of the company should be higher. That implies the FCF yield should be low such as the 3.2% FCF yield I used. If you are following me so far, this means that my projections are likely to come to pass on a historical basis, albeit in the future.</p>\n<p>Bottom line — GOOG stock is a buy, as it is likely to move at least 30% higher assuming its FCF stays as strong as just shown in Q2.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>Alphabet Is Worth $3,554 Based on Its Powerful Free Cash Flow</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\">\nAlphabet Is Worth $3,554 Based on Its Powerful Free Cash Flow\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-01 10:52 GMT+8 <a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GOOG stock will benefit in 2022 from its higher FCF margins, so that with a 3.2% FCF yield it will be worth 30% more.\n\nAlphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) just reported stellar second-quarter results,...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"QNETCN":"纳斯达克中美互联网老虎指数","GOOG":"谷歌","09086":"华夏纳指-U","GOOGL":"谷歌A","03086":"华夏纳指"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1122171439","content_text":"GOOG stock will benefit in 2022 from its higher FCF margins, so that with a 3.2% FCF yield it will be worth 30% more.\n\nAlphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) just reported stellar second-quarter results, in terms of both revenue and earnings.

Here's how mortgage rates and a less gargantuan central bank footprint could impact the heated U.S. housing market.</p>\n<p>\"The Fed is certainly talking and thinking about it,\" said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, on the subject of how the Federal Reserve could scale back the central bank's $120 billion a month bond-buying program.</p>\n<p>But Jones also thinks tighter credit conditions, likely via higher borrowing rates as the Fed tapers its bond buying program, might end up being a saving grace for today's housing market.</p>\n<p>\"Housing prices could certainly pull back, after accelerating so fast,\" she said, pointing to households fighting over the few properties available to buy, while navigating work from home. \"At some point,\" she said, mortgage payments on high-priced homes \"become unsustainable with people's incomes.\"</p>\n<p>\"But I don't see a big housing debacle.\"</p>\n<p>How to pump the brakes on housing</p>\n<p>The central bank has maintained a large footprint in the mortgage market for more than a decade, but the worsening affordability crisis in the U.S. housing market led Fed officials to walk a tightrope recently when trying to explain its ongoing large-scale asset purchases during the pandemic recovery.</p>\n<p>Fed officials in recent weeks have expressed a fair bit of disagreement around the timing and pace of any scaling back of its large-scale asset purchases.</p>\n<p>St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said Friday the central bank should start to slow down its bond purchases this fall and finish by March , saying he thought financial markets \"are very well prepared\" for the reduction in purchases.</p>\n<p>During a midweek press briefing, Chairman Jerome Powell said tapering likely would start with agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and Treasury bonds at the same time, but also \"the idea of reducing\" mortgage exposure \"at a somewhat faster pace does have some traction with some people\".</p>\n<p>The blue line in the chart below traces the central bank's balance sheet</p>\n<p>As of July 29, the Fed was holding about 31% of the roughly $7.8 trillion agency MBS market, or housing bonds with government backing.</p>\n<p>\"You could make the case that the Fed owns almost <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-third of the agency mortgage bond market, and that it might make sense to loosen its grip,\" Jones said, particularly as Powell has played down a direct link between its MBS purchases and climbing home prices.</p>\n<p>It may now seem like a distant memory, but before the pandemic upheaval, that was precisely what the Fed was trying to do.</p>\n<p>\"Who would have thought,\" said Paul Jablansky, head of fixed income at Guardian Life Insurance, that the U.S. would be in the midst of \"one of the frothiest housing markets in history,\" following last year's extreme pandemic shutdowns that closed businesses, workplaces and national borders.</p>\n<p>\"Occasionally people ask, are we at the peak?\" said Jablansky, a 30-year veteran of the mortgage, and asset-backed and broader bond market. \"We are outside the balance of our experience, so it's very difficult to say we are at the peak,\" he told MarketWatch.</p>\n<p>\"I do think house price inflation will have to slow down dramatically. But maybe the biggest question is, can we see housing prices go negative? I think the Fed will work very, very hard to create a soft landing in house prices.\"</p>\n<p>Schwab's forecast has been for the Fed to kick things off by reducing its monthly asset purchases by $15 billion to $105 billion. That would mean cutting $10 billion from its current $80 billion monthly pace of Treasury purchases and $5 billion from its $40 billion monthly pace of MBS.</p>\n<p>\"So far, we haven't changed that,\" Jones told MarketWatch.</p>\n<p>While the Fed doesn't set long-term interest rates, its mass buying of Treasurys aims to keep a lid on borrowing costs. Treasury yields also inform the interest rate component of 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. So perhaps, scaling back both at once makes sense, Jones said.</p>\n<p>Misremembering the 2013 taper</p>\n<p>Fed Chair Powell said on Wednesday that the central bank's \"substantial further progress\" standard for unemployment and inflation in particular hasn't been met yet, while stressing that he'd like to see more progress in the jobs market before easing its monetary policy support for the economy.</p>\n<p>Powell also frequently has talked of lessons learned from the market upheaval of 2013, the so-called \"taper tantrum\" that rattled markets after the central bank began talking about taking away the punch bowl, as the economy healed from the Great Recession of 2008.</p>\n<p>\"What we need to remember,\" Jablansky said, is that markets sold off in anticipation of tapering, not the actual pull back in asset purchases. \"Later in the year, the period [former Fed Chair Ben] Bernanke was talking about, the Fed actually continued to buy assets, and the amount of accommodation it provided to the economy actually went up.\"</p>\n<p>Historically, the only stretch where the Fed has actively withdrawn its support occurred between 2017 and 2019, following its controversial, first foray into large-scale asset purchases to unfreeze credit markets post 2008.</p>\n<p>\"It's very difficult to draw a lot of conclusions from that real short period,\" Jablansky said. \"For us, the conclusion is that 2013 may be instructive, but the circumstances are really different.\"</p>\n<p>The message from Powell consistently has been about preserving \"maximum flexibility, but to go very slowly,\" said George Catrambone, head of Americas trading at asset manager <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DWS.AU\">DWS</a> Group.</p>\n<p>Catrambone thinks that may be the right strategy, given the uncertain outlook on inflation, evidenced by, the recent spike in the cost of living , but also because of how significantly many of our lives have changed because of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>\"We know that a used car won't cost more than a new car forever,\" Catrambone said. \"Do I think the housing market slows down? It could. But you really need the supply, demand imbalance to abate. That could take a while.\"</p>\n<p>Extreme wildfires, drought and other shocks of climate change have been tied to $30 billion in property losses in the first half of 2021, while putting more patches of land and U.S. homes in the path of danger.

It dropped on Tuesday after Apple warned that growth in the September quarter would not be as strong as June’s.\nHere are the key numbers compared to what Wall Street was expecting, per Refinitiv estimates:\n\nEPS: $1.30 vs. $1.01 estimated\nRevenue: $81.41 billion vs. $73.30 billion estimated, up 36% year-over-year\niPhone revenue: $39.57 billion vs. $34.01 billion estimated, up 49.78% year-over-year\nServices revenue: $17.48 billion vs. $16.33 billion estimated, up 33% year-over-year\nOther Products revenue: $8.76 billion vs. $7.80 billion estimated, up 40% year-over-year\nMac revenue:$8.24 billion vs. $8.07 billion estimated, up 16% year-over-year\niPad revenue: $7.37 billion vs. $7.15 billion estimated, up 12% year-over-year\nGross margin: 43.3% vs. 41.9% estimated\n\nApple did not provide formal guidance for the sixth quarter in a row and has not since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.\nHowever, Apple CFO Luca Maestri said that it expected double-digit year-over-year growth in the current quarter. Maestri said that Apple expected less than 36% growth in the September quarter because of foreign exchange rates, less growth in its services business, and supply constraints for iPhones and iPads.\nApple CEO Tim Cook said in a call with analysts that Apple is seeing supply constraints related to silicon that would affect the company’s iPhone and iPad sales in the September quarter.\nApple also had a strong quarter in its Greater China region, which includes Taiwan and Hong Kong in addition to the mainland. Apple reported $14.76 billion in sales in the region, up 58% from the same quarter last year, although it was an easy comparison given that China was in stages of lockdown during the quarter.\nAmericas sales were up nearly 33% year-over-year to $39.57 billion.\nWATCH NOWVIDEO00:46Apple up after earnings, revenue beat\nApple’s quarter ending in June is typically one of its slowest of the year, but the company has benefitted from work-at-home and remote schooling trends that have boosted sales of its premium computers.\nLast year’s June quarter was a company record for sales despite lockdowns around the world, so Apple is growing even compared to a strong basis from a year ago.\nCook mentioned that the success was not just because of people upgrading their old iPhones, but also Android customers buying their first iPhone.\n“We saw a very strong double digit increases in both upgraders and switchers during the quarter,” Cook said.\nApple’s quarter could have been even better if it had not grappled with supply shortages likely linked to the global chip shortage, which mostly affected its Mac and iPad sales.\n“The shortage primarily affected Mac and iPad,” Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton. “We had predicted the shortages to total $3 to $4 billion. But we were actually able to mitigate some of that, and we came in at the lower than the low end part of that range.”\nHowever, Apple warned that silicon supply constraints could affect its September quarter iPhone and iPad sales, although the chips that are in short supply are the “legacy nodes” of older kinds of chips, instead of the processors that power Apple devices. Cook also said on a call with analysts that the company believes that freight costs are high.\nApple’s services business also shook off investor fears that its rate of growth could slow as more people go back to work and spend less on online services and apps. Services was up 33% year-over-year, an acceleration from last quarter’s 26.7% growth rate. Maestri said that Apple expected the company’s services growth rate to decrease in the September quarter.\nWhile Apple’s services business includes many products and Apple does not break down how it’s composed, Cook told CNBC that the company set records in music, video, cloud services, advertising and payments.\n“It’s clear that our long running investment in our services strategy is succeeding,” Cook told CNBC.\nApple now has 700 million paid subscribers, up 150 million year-over-year, Cook said. Apple’s subscriber figure includes customers subscribed to an app through Apple’s App Store billing.\nCook also said that Apple pushed back its return to its campus headquarters from September to at least October because of the Covid-19 situation.\n“I’ve been really pleased with what we’ve been able to accomplish in this fully remote mode,” Cook said.\nApple declared a dividend of $0.22 per share of stock. In a statement, Apple said that it spent $29 billion on shareholder return during the quarter. Apple CFO Luca Maestri told CNBC that the company has bought back almost $450 billion in stock in recent years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803128174,"gmtCreate":1627428936398,"gmtModify":1703489629722,"author":{"id":"4090190459838320","authorId":"4090190459838320","name":"Jagath","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f6d04b91f02b623beb7c20e1eb1f9ed","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090190459838320","authorIdStr":"4090190459838320"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/803128174","repostId":"1155220013","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155220013","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627426975,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155220013?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-28 07:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft scores record quarterly profit on cloud boost","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155220013","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) -Microsoft Corp posted its most profitable quarter on Tuesday, beating Wall Street expecta","content":"<p>(Reuters) -Microsoft Corp posted its most profitable quarter on Tuesday, beating Wall Street expectations for revenue and earnings, as demand soared for the software giant’s cloud-based services.</p>\n<p>Its shares rose nearly 1% in after-hours trading, following the company’s year-to-date run of 30% that left investors with high expectations for the quarter.</p>\n<p>The pandemic-driven shift to remote work has boosted consumer appetite for cloud-based computing, helping companies including Microsoft, Amazon.com Inc’s cloud unit and Alphabet Inc’s Google Cloud.</p>\n<p>Revenue in its “Intelligent Cloud” segment rose 30% to $17.4 billion, with 51% growth in its Azure cloud-computing business, in the fourth quarter ended June 30.

Every one of Apple’s major product lines grew over 12% on an annual basis.\nOverall, Apple’s sales were up 36% from the June quarter last year. iPhone sales increased nearly 50% on an annual basis.\nApple stock was down over 2% in extended trading. It dropped on Tuesday after Apple warned that growth in the September quarter would not be as strong as June’s.\nHere are the key numbers compared to what Wall Street was expecting, per Refinitiv estimates:\n\nEPS: $1.30 vs. $1.01 estimated\nRevenue: $81.41 billion vs. $73.30 billion estimated, up 36% year-over-year\niPhone revenue: $39.57 billion vs. $34.01 billion estimated, up 49.78% year-over-year\nServices revenue: $17.48 billion vs. $16.33 billion estimated, up 33% year-over-year\nOther Products revenue: $8.76 billion vs. $7.80 billion estimated, up 40% year-over-year\nMac revenue:$8.24 billion vs. $8.07 billion estimated, up 16% year-over-year\niPad revenue: $7.37 billion vs. $7.15 billion estimated, up 12% year-over-year\nGross margin: 43.3% vs. 41.9% estimated\n\nApple did not provide formal guidance for the sixth quarter in a row and has not since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.\nHowever, Apple CFO Luca Maestri said that it expected double-digit year-over-year growth in the current quarter. Maestri said that Apple expected less than 36% growth in the September quarter because of foreign exchange rates, less growth in its services business, and supply constraints for iPhones and iPads.\nApple CEO Tim Cook said in a call with analysts that Apple is seeing supply constraints related to silicon that would affect the company’s iPhone and iPad sales in the September quarter.\nApple also had a strong quarter in its Greater China region, which includes Taiwan and Hong Kong in addition to the mainland. Apple reported $14.76 billion in sales in the region, up 58% from the same quarter last year, although it was an easy comparison given that China was in stages of lockdown during the quarter.\nAmericas sales were up nearly 33% year-over-year to $39.57 billion.\nWATCH NOWVIDEO00:46Apple up after earnings, revenue beat\nApple’s quarter ending in June is typically one of its slowest of the year, but the company has benefitted from work-at-home and remote schooling trends that have boosted sales of its premium computers.\nLast year’s June quarter was a company record for sales despite lockdowns around the world, so Apple is growing even compared to a strong basis from a year ago.\nCook mentioned that the success was not just because of people upgrading their old iPhones, but also Android customers buying their first iPhone.\n“We saw a very strong double digit increases in both upgraders and switchers during the quarter,” Cook said.\nApple’s quarter could have been even better if it had not grappled with supply shortages likely linked to the global chip shortage, which mostly affected its Mac and iPad sales.\n“The shortage primarily affected Mac and iPad,” Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton. “We had predicted the shortages to total $3 to $4 billion. But we were actually able to mitigate some of that, and we came in at the lower than the low end part of that range.”\nHowever, Apple warned that silicon supply constraints could affect its September quarter iPhone and iPad sales, although the chips that are in short supply are the “legacy nodes” of older kinds of chips, instead of the processors that power Apple devices. Cook also said on a call with analysts that the company believes that freight costs are high.\nApple’s services business also shook off investor fears that its rate of growth could slow as more people go back to work and spend less on online services and apps. Services was up 33% year-over-year, an acceleration from last quarter’s 26.7% growth rate. Maestri said that Apple expected the company’s services growth rate to decrease in the September quarter.\nWhile Apple’s services business includes many products and Apple does not break down how it’s composed, Cook told CNBC that the company set records in music, video, cloud services, advertising and payments.\n“It’s clear that our long running investment in our services strategy is succeeding,” Cook told CNBC.\nApple now has 700 million paid subscribers, up 150 million year-over-year, Cook said.

Evergrande’s refinancing risk is “heightened” over the coming 12 to 18 months given its weakened funding access and liquidity position, Moody’s analysts led by Cedric Lai said in astatementlate Monday.</p>\n<p>The downgrade followed similarrevisionsby Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratingslast week, and it’s thesecond cutby Moody’s since late June. The move by Leo Group may hamper sales campaigns by Evergrande, which has been aggressively marketing its property projects to raise cash, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Kristy Hung.</p>\n<p>“Evergrande’s liquidity challenges could heighten with a lawsuit by a marketing partner seeking the freezing of some assets of subsidiary Hengda for a payment,” Hung wrote.</p>\n<p>Shares of Evergrande slid as much as 9.5% in Hong Kong trading on Tuesday, and are down 65% this year. The developer’s 6.98% local note due 2022 declined 1.2% to 61.74 yuan, reversing Monday’s gain.</p>\n<p>The property giant has resorted to offloading assets as it tries to reassure investors about its financial health and meet China’s so-calledthree red lines-- requirements that curb developers’ debt ratios. It announcedplansthis week to sell more of its internet unit for HK$3.25 billion ($418 million) to ease funding pressure.</p>\n<p>Top Chinese politicians defined Evergrande’s financial problems as “liquidity stress” and not an insolvency, REDDreportedMonday, citing two unnamed sources.

It’s asking a Shenzhen court to freeze some of the unit’s assets, including bank accounts, an exchangefilingshowed Tuesday.\nMeanwhile Moody’s lowered the credit grade on China’s most indebted developer by two notches to Caa1 with a negative outlook. Evergrande’s refinancing risk is “heightened” over the coming 12 to 18 months given its weakened funding access and liquidity position, Moody’s analysts led by Cedric Lai said in astatementlate Monday.\nThe downgrade followed similarrevisionsby Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratingslast week, and it’s thesecond cutby Moody’s since late June. The move by Leo Group may hamper sales campaigns by Evergrande, which has been aggressively marketing its property projects to raise cash, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Kristy Hung.\n“Evergrande’s liquidity challenges could heighten with a lawsuit by a marketing partner seeking the freezing of some assets of subsidiary Hengda for a payment,” Hung wrote.\nShares of Evergrande slid as much as 9.5% in Hong Kong trading on Tuesday, and are down 65% this year. The developer’s 6.98% local note due 2022 declined 1.2% to 61.74 yuan, reversing Monday’s gain.\nThe property giant has resorted to offloading assets as it tries to reassure investors about its financial health and meet China’s so-calledthree red lines-- requirements that curb developers’ debt ratios.

But even more importantly, its free cash flow (FCF) grew substantially, both in absolute numbers and FCF margins. As a result, I believe that GOOG stock is now worth at least 30% more or $3,554 per share. This article will describe how I came up with that valuation.</p>\n<p>On July 27, Alphabet, the parent of online search engine Google that makes most of its money from advertising, reported a huge 62% revenue gain on a year-0ver-year (YOY) basis. Even on a quarter-over-quarter basis, its revenue of $61.88 billion in Q2 grew by 11.87% from $55.314 billion in Q1.</p>\n<p>That implies an annualized run rate of 56.6%. So that coincides with its historical 62% YOY rate, implying that next year the company will show 57% YOY revenue growth.</p>\n<p>Of course, this assumes that advertising growth — and the economy in general — stay red hot.</p>\n<p><b>Estimating Google’s FCF</b></p>\n<p>But more importantly, its FCF rose to $16.394 billion, which can beseen on page 7of the earnings release. Alphabet is one of the few companies that help investors by calculating their own FCF figures. For example, last quarter its FCF was $13.347 billion (also onpage 7 of the Q1 report). This shows that its quarterly FCF growth was 22.83% just on a QOQ basis. That implies a huge run rate growth rate, although this is not what I will use to project out its future FCF.</p>\n<p>I think it is better to look at Alphabet’s FCF margins to forecast its future FCF. For example, in Q2 its $16.4 billion FCF represents 26.5% of its $61.88 billion in revenue. That is a huge gain over its FCF margins. Dividing $13.347 billion in Q1 FCF by revenue of $55.314 billion shows that Q1 FCF margins were just 24.1%.</p>\n<p>So, going forward let’s estimate that FCF will be 26.5% of its forecast revenue. For example,<i>Seeking Alpha</i>shows that analystsproject 2021 revenue of $250.29 billion. That implies its 2021 FCF will be $66.3 billion this year. But this is likely now already implied or discounted in the GOOG stock price.</p>\n<p>We should probably use 2022 estimates since the market will soon start valuing GOOG stock on its 2002 numbers. Seeking Alpha indicates $286.36 billion for 2022. Applying the 26.5% FCF margin to this estimate yields an FCF estimate of $75.89 billion. That is substantially higher than the estimates for 2021 FCF. We can now use this to value GOOG stock.</p>\n<p><b>What GOOG Stock Is Now Worth</b></p>\n<p>One way to value GOOG stock is to use its historical FCF yield and apply it to our future FCF estimate. For example, in the trailing 12 months (TTM) to June 30, Alphabet produced $58.536 billion in FCF. This can be seen on<i>Seeking Alpha’s</i>historical FCF pageby subtracting its TTM capex from its TTM cash flow from operations. Here is how we will use this.</p>\n<p>First, we calculate its historical TTM FCF yield. For example, the company now has a market capitalization of $1.826 trillion, according to<i>Yahoo! Finance</i>, which usually has the best calculations. Therefore, if we divide its TTM FCF of $58.536 by its $1,826 billion market cap, the FCF yield works out to 3.2%.</p>\n<p>Next, we can divide our forecast of $75.89 billion in 2022 FCF by its TTM FCF yield of 3.2%. That derives a new target market value of $2.37 trillion. In other words, GOOG stock has a target market cap that is 29.88% higher than today’s price. Therefore, using yesterday’s closing price of $2,730.81, its target price is $3,546 per share.</p>\n<p><b>What To Do With GOOG Stock</b></p>\n<p>In other words, starting with the company’s much higher FCF margins and projecting these out against 2022 revenue, GOOG stock should rise at least 30% sometime over the next year. That assumes a fairly high 3.2% FCF yield. It is very possible that the yield could rise, which would lower the target price.</p>\n<p>For example, consider this. Above, we projected that Alphabet will produce $66.3 billion in FCF this year. But that represents a higher 3.63% FCF yield on today’s $1,826 billion market cap. Applying this higher 3.63% FCF yield to its 2022 estimates would result in a lower price target than my 30% expected gain.</p>\n<p>I don’t think that is what will happen in reality. Don’t forget that we assume that the company will have a much higher FCF margin in 2022 than its historical TTM FCF. Therefore, the value of the company should be higher. That implies the FCF yield should be low such as the 3.2% FCF yield I used. If you are following me so far, this means that my projections are likely to come to pass on a historical basis, albeit in the future.</p>\n<p>Bottom line — GOOG stock is a buy, as it is likely to move at least 30% higher assuming its FCF stays as strong as just shown in Q2.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>Alphabet Is Worth $3,554 Based on Its Powerful Free Cash Flow</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\">\nAlphabet Is Worth $3,554 Based on Its Powerful Free Cash Flow\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-01 10:52 GMT+8 <a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GOOG stock will benefit in 2022 from its higher FCF margins, so that with a 3.2% FCF yield it will be worth 30% more.\n\nAlphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) just reported stellar second-quarter results,...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"QNETCN":"纳斯达克中美互联网老虎指数","GOOG":"谷歌","09086":"华夏纳指-U","GOOGL":"谷歌A","03086":"华夏纳指"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1122171439","content_text":"GOOG stock will benefit in 2022 from its higher FCF margins, so that with a 3.2% FCF yield it will be worth 30% more.\n\nAlphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) just reported stellar second-quarter results, in terms of both revenue and earnings.

If you are following me so far, this means that my projections are likely to come to pass on a historical basis, albeit in the future.\nBottom line — GOOG stock is a buy, as it is likely to move at least 30% higher assuming its FCF stays as strong as just shown in Q2.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":123,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805073572,"gmtCreate":1627829098996,"gmtModify":1703496359280,"author":{"id":"4090190459838320","authorId":"4090190459838320","name":"Jagath","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f6d04b91f02b623beb7c20e1eb1f9ed","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090190459838320","authorIdStr":"4090190459838320"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good to buy?","listText":"Good to buy?","text":"Good to buy?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ff660b110b2ba0127c2eeac7404b078","width":"1080","height":"2449"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/805073572","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":64,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805047997,"gmtCreate":1627828764119,"gmtModify":1703496354186,"author":{"id":"4090190459838320","authorId":"4090190459838320","name":"Jagath","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f6d04b91f02b623beb7c20e1eb1f9ed","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090190459838320","authorIdStr":"4090190459838320"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/805047997","repostId":"2156165727","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2156165727","kind":"highlight","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":1627771020,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2156165727?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-01 06:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Home prices could cool when the Fed tapers its bond-buying program.
