@Globalrisk.fund:https://globalrisk.fund/2023/03/19/first-republic-bank-set-for-a-rally-with-rumours-buffett-is-getting-behind-a-rescue/ $First Republic Bank(FRC)$ Have a good future after the 30 billion deposit from the bigger banks. It has a loyal customer base that would rather stay with them as long as they believe the deposits they have with them is secure.

community, Envision Early Retirement.</li></ul><h3>Q3 recap and investment thesis</h3><p>My last article on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a> and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) is co-produced with Sensor Unlimited and published about a month ago in early November. That article argued that share repurchases at both AAPL and BRK are far more potent when considered together than viewed separately. Such “double buybacks” are compounding on steroids in our view.</p><p>In this article, we want to switch the focus entirely. We will argue A) why buying/adding AAPL around its current price (which translates to about 20x owners&#39; earnings) is a no-brainer, and B) why owning AAPL via BRK is an even better idea.</p><p>Both AAPL and BRK have posted strong Q3 earnings. The key results are shown in the two charts below, and I will dive into the highlights as we go. These strong results, when combined with the price corrections during Q3 due to (or thanks to) market volatilities, investors have some great opportunities to buy or add these perpetual compounders at enticing entry valuations.</p><p>For AAPL, its TTM EPS as of Q3 2022 (i.e., its FY Q4) came in at $6.11 per share as you can see from the first chart below. Later, you will see that such accounting EPS underestimates its owners&#39; earnings (“OE”), and its OE is around $7.18, which translates into a share price near ~$145 at a 20x OE multiple. And I kept telling my readers buying/adding stock like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer. Stocks like AAPL (or BRK) are quintessential examples of equity bonds as explained in my earlier article because:</p><p>To me, any valuation near or below 20x OE is very attractive for a stock with ROCE (return on capital employed) near 100% like AAPL. At about 100% ROCE, a 5% investment rate would provide 5% organic real growth rates (i.e., before inflation adjustments). And a 20x OE would provide about 5% owners earnings yield, leading to a total return in the double digits. Once you adjust for the risks (and I consider the risks from AAPL similar to treasury bonds), a 10%+ annual return is ~3x of what you can get from bonds in the long term.</p><p>In this article, I will focus on an alternative way to own AAPL, a sort of backdoor, through BRK. And I will explain why owning AAPL this way is even more attractive under current conditions. And this brings me to the financials of BRK, as shown in the second chart in this section.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f61e045c67f643b98ba432f7f5f77739\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"585\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>BRK reported strong operating results for Q3 also and is on pace for a solid 2022. Operating earnings per share, which excludes capital gains and losses from the investment portfolio, clocked in at $3.00 in Q3, translating into an annual growth rate of almost 20% YOY. This was particularly impressive considering that its insurance segment suffered higher-than-usual operations losses due to hurricane Ida, Ian, and also the floods in Europe. The remainder of this analysis also will involve its balance sheet, which is posted below. And a couple of highlights relevant to the subsequent analyses:</p><ul><li>All my following per-share numbers for BRK (e.g., OE, equity, cash, et al) are quoted per Berkshire Hathaway B share, not A shares. Given that the focus here is on the financial (not voting power), the analysis should be perfectly applicable for A shares.</li><li>Its equivalent Class B shares outstanding is taken to be 2.2B shares according to its most recent 10-K filing. The market value of its equity investment portfolio is taken from dataroma. And as of this writing, the portfolio value is reported to be $296.1B, slightly below the $306B shown in its 10-K below due to market fluctuations since the filing.</li></ul><p>With these parameters, let’s dive in and see how we can own AAPL through BRK at an effective PE of ~12x or below.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/744119f29d38279a1a7fad8febbe605e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"401\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>AAPL’s EPS and OE</h3><p>Since we are analyzing AAPL and BRK, it&#39;s only fitting to start with a quote from Warren Buffett on the difference between accounting EPS and owners&#39; earnings (“OE”). The following is taken from Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s 1986 annual report (slightly edited with emphases added by me):</p><p>These represent (“a”) reported earnings plus (“b”) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and certain other non-cash charges...less (“c”) the average annual amount of capitalized expenditures for plant and equipment, etc. that the business requires to fully maintain its long-term competitive position and its unit volume...Our owner-earnings equation does not yield the deceptively precise figures provided by GAAP, since (“c”) must be a guess - and one sometimes very difficult to make. Despite this problem, we consider the owner earnings figure, not the GAAP figure, to be the relevant item for valuation purposes...All of this points up the absurdity of the &#39;cash flow&#39; numbers that are often set forth in Wall Street reports. These numbers routinely include (“a”) plus (“b”) - but do not subtract (“c”).</p><p>The key is to estimate item c, and my analysis of item c for AAPL is shown in the table below. This table is based off Bruce Greenwald’s method (detailed in his book Value Investing) to separate maintenance capex and growth capex. Readers interested in the details could find them in my earlier article or his book.</p><p>To wit, AAPL’s TTM accounting EPS came in at $6.11 per share as aforementioned. However, its OE is about $7.18 per share, about 18% higher. The reason for this higher OE is the accounting EPS considered all CAPEX to be a cost, while only the maintenance capex should be considered as costs as Buffett explained above. In AAPL’s case, the discrepancy should be obvious as its accounting EPS is even lower than its FCF (free cash flow) by about 13%, and then even the FCF is an underestimate of the true OE (again because the FCF calculation also considered all the capex expenses to costs). The third column in the table shows my forecast for the next year. And as you can see, the OE for Apple in the next year is projected to be $7.33 per share.</p><p>All told, Apple&#39;s accounting PE is about 23x, a number all AAPL investors must be very familiar with. However, once you consider its OE, then the multiple is actually on the order of 20x for this year and slightly below 20x on an FW basis.</p><p>Then finally, remember that Apple also carries a net cash position on its balance sheet (about $2.27 per share under its current conditions). Once you adjust the cash position too, its OE PE is on the order of 19.9x for this year and only 19.5x for next year.</p><p>And in the next section, we will see how we can do even better through BRK.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3ac6ab756c4503f2a547af66444cff4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Backdoor AAPL via BRK</h3><p>As mentioned earlier, the market value of BRK’s equity investment portfolio (based on dataroma) is at $296.1B As of this writing. AAPL is the largest position and is valued at $123.6B. So BRK’s equity investment excluding AAPL is worth about $173B, or $77 per share. The market capitalization for BRK is about $701B ($315 share price). Then also recall from its balance sheet, we know that there is $109 billion worth of cash sitting on its ledger.</p><p>Putting all these above numbers together, we can show that:</p><p>If we take out all the other equity investments except AAPL and the cash, BRK’s adjusted market cap is $420B (or $189 per share). This means if we buy BRK shares at $315 and then liquidate the cash and all other equity investments except AAPL, we effectively paid $189 for each BRK share only.</p><p>Why does this $189 buy us then? First, we bought all the AAPL shares that BRK owns. As of this writing, BRK owns a total of 894.8 million shares of AAPL, translating into 0.40 AAPL shares contained per BRK share. BRK has been consistently buying back its own shares. And I project this trend to continue. Extrapolating its share repurchase from the previous quarters, the AAPL shares contained in each BRK share would increase to 0.41 next year as shown.</p><p>Second, we also bought all the BRK operating segments too, which is what we will examine next.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16462afe4efe010fb29b16d41385f15a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"181\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>AAPL’s ownership PE via BRK</h3><p>BRK is projected to earn $12.9 per share of operating income in 2022, although 2022 may not be the most representative year. My best estimate for its normalized operating income is about $12 per share (or $26.7B in total), which is the assumption that I used in the analysis shown in the following table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4af9da2b8625409ae4723445ce6a9c94\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"159\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Now just as established above, if we buy BRK shares at $315, we are effectively buying 0.40 AAPL shares (or 0.41 on an FW basis) and all the BRK operating segments for $189. The BRK operating segments would provide earnings of $12 per share as assumed above, and the 0.4 AAPL shares would provide an OE of $2.88 (=0.40*$7.18). Thus, we paid $189 and got a total of $14.88 per share of OE ($12 from BRK operations plus $2.88 from AAPL). On an FW basis, the earnings would further increase to $15.13 per share due to a combination of AAPL earnings growth and BRK’s share repurchases as discussed above.</p><p>Now, how you compute the PE multiple here depends on how you value BRK’s operating income. The last row of the table shows an aggregated average, a sort of effective &#34;ownership&#34; PE of AAPL and BRK together, which turned out to be 12.7x based on 2022 financials and 12.1x on an FW basis.</p><p>If BRK’s operating income is priced at a 15x multiple – a quite reasonable multiple in my view, then BRK’s operating income would be worth $180 per share. Hence, we would be paying only $9 ($189-$12*15) for the 0.4 AAPL share, which provides $2.88 of OE. This means we would be owning the AAPL shares at a PE of about 3.1x only.</p><h3>Risks and final thoughts</h3><p>Specific risks for AAPL or BRK have been thoroughly discussed in other SA articles (including some of our own), and I won’t further add them here. Here I will focus on the risks and limitations associated with the particular backdoor idea described in this article.</p><ul><li>BRK’s cash position. In this analysis, I assumed that you could liquidate all the cash on its ledger. But of course, a good part of the cash is insurance float and cannot be liquidated (at least cannot be entirely liquidated). But there also are good reasons behind the approach that I used – at least as a thought experiment to analyze the financials and valuation. After all, cash is cash. If you buy BRK completely, every $1 in the insurance float still counts as $1.</li><li>Worth of BRK’s equity portfolio. The market valuation of BRK’s equity portfolio is always a moving target and changes on a daily basis with the market volatilities. Hence, there is some uncertainty here too. As aforementioned, the current portfolio value of $296.1B is already below the $306B disclosed in its 10-K back in September.</li></ul><p>Nonetheless, it’s always better to be approximately right than precisely wrong. And the bigger picture I see here are:</p><ul><li>Owning a perpetual compounder like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer to me.

That article argued that share repurchases at both AAPL and BRK are far more potent when considered together than viewed separately. Such “double buybacks” are compounding on steroids in our view.In this article, we want to switch the focus entirely. We will argue A) why buying/adding AAPL around its current price (which translates to about 20x owners' earnings) is a no-brainer, and B) why owning AAPL via BRK is an even better idea.Both AAPL and BRK have posted strong Q3 earnings. The key results are shown in the two charts below, and I will dive into the highlights as we go. These strong results, when combined with the price corrections during Q3 due to (or thanks to) market volatilities, investors have some great opportunities to buy or add these perpetual compounders at enticing entry valuations.For AAPL, its TTM EPS as of Q3 2022 (i.e., its FY Q4) came in at $6.11 per share as you can see from the first chart below. Later, you will see that such accounting EPS underestimates its owners' earnings (“OE”), and its OE is around $7.18, which translates into a share price near ~$145 at a 20x OE multiple. And I kept telling my readers buying/adding stock like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer. Stocks like AAPL (or BRK) are quintessential examples of equity bonds as explained in my earlier article because:To me, any valuation near or below 20x OE is very attractive for a stock with ROCE (return on capital employed) near 100% like AAPL. At about 100% ROCE, a 5% investment rate would provide 5% organic real growth rates (i.e., before inflation adjustments). And a 20x OE would provide about 5% owners earnings yield, leading to a total return in the double digits. Once you adjust for the risks (and I consider the risks from AAPL similar to treasury bonds), a 10%+ annual return is ~3x of what you can get from bonds in the long term.In this article, I will focus on an alternative way to own AAPL, a sort of backdoor, through BRK. And I will explain why owning AAPL this way is even more attractive under current conditions. And this brings me to the financials of BRK, as shown in the second chart in this section.BRK reported strong operating results for Q3 also and is on pace for a solid 2022. Operating earnings per share, which excludes capital gains and losses from the investment portfolio, clocked in at $3.00 in Q3, translating into an annual growth rate of almost 20% YOY. This was particularly impressive considering that its insurance segment suffered higher-than-usual operations losses due to hurricane Ida, Ian, and also the floods in Europe. The remainder of this analysis also will involve its balance sheet, which is posted below. And a couple of highlights relevant to the subsequent analyses:All my following per-share numbers for BRK (e.g., OE, equity, cash, et al) are quoted per Berkshire Hathaway B share, not A shares. Given that the focus here is on the financial (not voting power), the analysis should be perfectly applicable for A shares.Its equivalent Class B shares outstanding is taken to be 2.2B shares according to its most recent 10-K filing. The market value of its equity investment portfolio is taken from dataroma. And as of this writing, the portfolio value is reported to be $296.1B, slightly below the $306B shown in its 10-K below due to market fluctuations since the filing.With these parameters, let’s dive in and see how we can own AAPL through BRK at an effective PE of ~12x or below.AAPL’s EPS and OESince we are analyzing AAPL and BRK, it's only fitting to start with a quote from Warren Buffett on the difference between accounting EPS and owners' earnings (“OE”). The following is taken from Berkshire Hathaway's 1986 annual report (slightly edited with emphases added by me):These represent (“a”) reported earnings plus (“b”) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and certain other non-cash charges...less (“c”) the average annual amount of capitalized expenditures for plant and equipment, etc. that the business requires to fully maintain its long-term competitive position and its unit volume...Our owner-earnings equation does not yield the deceptively precise figures provided by GAAP, since (“c”) must be a guess - and one sometimes very difficult to make. Despite this problem, we consider the owner earnings figure, not the GAAP figure, to be the relevant item for valuation purposes...All of this points up the absurdity of the 'cash flow' numbers that are often set forth in Wall Street reports. These numbers routinely include (“a”) plus (“b”) - but do not subtract (“c”).The key is to estimate item c, and my analysis of item c for AAPL is shown in the table below. This table is based off Bruce Greenwald’s method (detailed in his book Value Investing) to separate maintenance capex and growth capex. Readers interested in the details could find them in my earlier article or his book.To wit, AAPL’s TTM accounting EPS came in at $6.11 per share as aforementioned. However, its OE is about $7.18 per share, about 18% higher. The reason for this higher OE is the accounting EPS considered all CAPEX to be a cost, while only the maintenance capex should be considered as costs as Buffett explained above. In AAPL’s case, the discrepancy should be obvious as its accounting EPS is even lower than its FCF (free cash flow) by about 13%, and then even the FCF is an underestimate of the true OE (again because the FCF calculation also considered all the capex expenses to costs). The third column in the table shows my forecast for the next year. And as you can see, the OE for Apple in the next year is projected to be $7.33 per share.All told, Apple's accounting PE is about 23x, a number all AAPL investors must be very familiar with. However, once you consider its OE, then the multiple is actually on the order of 20x for this year and slightly below 20x on an FW basis.Then finally, remember that Apple also carries a net cash position on its balance sheet (about $2.27 per share under its current conditions). Once you adjust the cash position too, its OE PE is on the order of 19.9x for this year and only 19.5x for next year.And in the next section, we will see how we can do even better through BRK.Backdoor AAPL via BRKAs mentioned earlier, the market value of BRK’s equity investment portfolio (based on dataroma) is at $296.1B As of this writing. AAPL is the largest position and is valued at $123.6B. So BRK’s equity investment excluding AAPL is worth about $173B, or $77 per share. The market capitalization for BRK is about $701B ($315 share price). Then also recall from its balance sheet, we know that there is $109 billion worth of cash sitting on its ledger.Putting all these above numbers together, we can show that:If we take out all the other equity investments except AAPL and the cash, BRK’s adjusted market cap is $420B (or $189 per share). This means if we buy BRK shares at $315 and then liquidate the cash and all other equity investments except AAPL, we effectively paid $189 for each BRK share only.Why does this $189 buy us then? First, we bought all the AAPL shares that BRK owns. As of this writing, BRK owns a total of 894.8 million shares of AAPL, translating into 0.40 AAPL shares contained per BRK share. BRK has been consistently buying back its own shares. And I project this trend to continue. Extrapolating its share repurchase from the previous quarters, the AAPL shares contained in each BRK share would increase to 0.41 next year as shown.Second, we also bought all the BRK operating segments too, which is what we will examine next.AAPL’s ownership PE via BRKBRK is projected to earn $12.9 per share of operating income in 2022, although 2022 may not be the most representative year. My best estimate for its normalized operating income is about $12 per share (or $26.7B in total), which is the assumption that I used in the analysis shown in the following table.Now just as established above, if we buy BRK shares at $315, we are effectively buying 0.40 AAPL shares (or 0.41 on an FW basis) and all the BRK operating segments for $189. The BRK operating segments would provide earnings of $12 per share as assumed above, and the 0.4 AAPL shares would provide an OE of $2.88 (=0.40*$7.18). Thus, we paid $189 and got a total of $14.88 per share of OE ($12 from BRK operations plus $2.88 from AAPL). On an FW basis, the earnings would further increase to $15.13 per share due to a combination of AAPL earnings growth and BRK’s share repurchases as discussed above.Now, how you compute the PE multiple here depends on how you value BRK’s operating income. The last row of the table shows an aggregated average, a sort of effective \"ownership\" PE of AAPL and BRK together, which turned out to be 12.7x based on 2022 financials and 12.1x on an FW basis.If BRK’s operating income is priced at a 15x multiple – a quite reasonable multiple in my view, then BRK’s operating income would be worth $180 per share. Hence, we would be paying only $9 ($189-$12*15) for the 0.4 AAPL share, which provides $2.88 of OE. This means we would be owning the AAPL shares at a PE of about 3.1x only.Risks and final thoughtsSpecific risks for AAPL or BRK have been thoroughly discussed in other SA articles (including some of our own), and I won’t further add them here. Here I will focus on the risks and limitations associated with the particular backdoor idea described in this article.BRK’s cash position. In this analysis, I assumed that you could liquidate all the cash on its ledger. But of course, a good part of the cash is insurance float and cannot be liquidated (at least cannot be entirely liquidated). But there also are good reasons behind the approach that I used – at least as a thought experiment to analyze the financials and valuation. After all, cash is cash. If you buy BRK completely, every $1 in the insurance float still counts as $1.Worth of BRK’s equity portfolio. The market valuation of BRK’s equity portfolio is always a moving target and changes on a daily basis with the market volatilities. Hence, there is some uncertainty here too. As aforementioned, the current portfolio value of $296.1B is already below the $306B disclosed in its 10-K back in September.Nonetheless, it’s always better to be approximately right than precisely wrong. And the bigger picture I see here are:Owning a perpetual compounder like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer to me. And under Apple’s current conditions, with the cash position and underestimation of accounting EPS adjusted, a ~$145 stock price should translate into a 20x OE or below.The discrepancy between accounting PE and OE PE is even larger than BRK. And once these discrepancies are corrected, we can own Apple shares with an effective “ownership” PE through BRK at heavy discounts. The exact discounts depend on how your value BRK’s operating income, which can lead to an ownership PE of AAPL in the range of ~12x to free based on my analyses.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":225,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9964700054,"gmtCreate":1670203665578,"gmtModify":1676538319117,"author":{"id":"4090594976982710","authorId":"4090594976982710","name":"Anna79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15e28029cdd3aac4683d961154d6ab19","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4090594976982710","idStr":"4090594976982710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

That exceeds the company’s previous outlook as well as an average of analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>Palantir has been recruiting an array of corporate allies with the goal of attracting new customers. It forged partnerships this year with International Business Machines Corp. and Fujitsu Ltd. to resell its technology and with Amazon Web Services to support it. Palantir also expanded its own sales team.</p>\n<p>The search went even wider last month to include small companies. Palantir began selling its software through a monthly subscription to a handful of startups connected to former employees. The company also invested in a dozen startups and signed them up as customers, marking a reversal of its previous approach to only pursue large deals.</p>\n<p>“We’ve always invested in companies. Now we can do it with our balance sheet,” Kevin Kawasaki, the head of business development, said on a conference call with analysts Thursday. “This is a long-term strategy.”</p>\n<p>The shifting strategy came at a cost. The second-quarter loss was 7 cents a share. Stock-based compensation accounts for a hefty portion.</p>\n<p>Sales results in the quarter were encouraging. Palantir reported $376 million in revenue for the period that ended in June, up 49% from a year earlier.</p>\n<p>Many government agencies have flocked to Palantir since last year to help them analyze the Covid-19 pandemic.

That article argued that share repurchases at both AAPL and BRK are far more potent when considered together than viewed separately. Such “double buybacks” are compounding on steroids in our view.</p><p>In this article, we want to switch the focus entirely. We will argue A) why buying/adding AAPL around its current price (which translates to about 20x owners&#39; earnings) is a no-brainer, and B) why owning AAPL via BRK is an even better idea.</p><p>Both AAPL and BRK have posted strong Q3 earnings. The key results are shown in the two charts below, and I will dive into the highlights as we go. These strong results, when combined with the price corrections during Q3 due to (or thanks to) market volatilities, investors have some great opportunities to buy or add these perpetual compounders at enticing entry valuations.</p><p>For AAPL, its TTM EPS as of Q3 2022 (i.e., its FY Q4) came in at $6.11 per share as you can see from the first chart below. Later, you will see that such accounting EPS underestimates its owners&#39; earnings (“OE”), and its OE is around $7.18, which translates into a share price near ~$145 at a 20x OE multiple. And I kept telling my readers buying/adding stock like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer. Stocks like AAPL (or BRK) are quintessential examples of equity bonds as explained in my earlier article because:</p><p>To me, any valuation near or below 20x OE is very attractive for a stock with ROCE (return on capital employed) near 100% like AAPL. At about 100% ROCE, a 5% investment rate would provide 5% organic real growth rates (i.e., before inflation adjustments). And a 20x OE would provide about 5% owners earnings yield, leading to a total return in the double digits. Once you adjust for the risks (and I consider the risks from AAPL similar to treasury bonds), a 10%+ annual return is ~3x of what you can get from bonds in the long term.</p><p>In this article, I will focus on an alternative way to own AAPL, a sort of backdoor, through BRK. And I will explain why owning AAPL this way is even more attractive under current conditions. And this brings me to the financials of BRK, as shown in the second chart in this section.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f61e045c67f643b98ba432f7f5f77739\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"585\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>BRK reported strong operating results for Q3 also and is on pace for a solid 2022. Operating earnings per share, which excludes capital gains and losses from the investment portfolio, clocked in at $3.00 in Q3, translating into an annual growth rate of almost 20% YOY. This was particularly impressive considering that its insurance segment suffered higher-than-usual operations losses due to hurricane Ida, Ian, and also the floods in Europe. The remainder of this analysis also will involve its balance sheet, which is posted below. And a couple of highlights relevant to the subsequent analyses:</p><ul><li>All my following per-share numbers for BRK (e.g., OE, equity, cash, et al) are quoted per Berkshire Hathaway B share, not A shares. Given that the focus here is on the financial (not voting power), the analysis should be perfectly applicable for A shares.</li><li>Its equivalent Class B shares outstanding is taken to be 2.2B shares according to its most recent 10-K filing. The market value of its equity investment portfolio is taken from dataroma. And as of this writing, the portfolio value is reported to be $296.1B, slightly below the $306B shown in its 10-K below due to market fluctuations since the filing.</li></ul><p>With these parameters, let’s dive in and see how we can own AAPL through BRK at an effective PE of ~12x or below.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/744119f29d38279a1a7fad8febbe605e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"401\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>AAPL’s EPS and OE</h3><p>Since we are analyzing AAPL and BRK, it&#39;s only fitting to start with a quote from Warren Buffett on the difference between accounting EPS and owners&#39; earnings (“OE”). The following is taken from Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s 1986 annual report (slightly edited with emphases added by me):</p><p>These represent (“a”) reported earnings plus (“b”) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and certain other non-cash charges...less (“c”) the average annual amount of capitalized expenditures for plant and equipment, etc. that the business requires to fully maintain its long-term competitive position and its unit volume...Our owner-earnings equation does not yield the deceptively precise figures provided by GAAP, since (“c”) must be a guess - and one sometimes very difficult to make. Despite this problem, we consider the owner earnings figure, not the GAAP figure, to be the relevant item for valuation purposes...All of this points up the absurdity of the &#39;cash flow&#39; numbers that are often set forth in Wall Street reports. These numbers routinely include (“a”) plus (“b”) - but do not subtract (“c”).</p><p>The key is to estimate item c, and my analysis of item c for AAPL is shown in the table below. This table is based off Bruce Greenwald’s method (detailed in his book Value Investing) to separate maintenance capex and growth capex. Readers interested in the details could find them in my earlier article or his book.</p><p>To wit, AAPL’s TTM accounting EPS came in at $6.11 per share as aforementioned. However, its OE is about $7.18 per share, about 18% higher. The reason for this higher OE is the accounting EPS considered all CAPEX to be a cost, while only the maintenance capex should be considered as costs as Buffett explained above. In AAPL’s case, the discrepancy should be obvious as its accounting EPS is even lower than its FCF (free cash flow) by about 13%, and then even the FCF is an underestimate of the true OE (again because the FCF calculation also considered all the capex expenses to costs). The third column in the table shows my forecast for the next year. And as you can see, the OE for Apple in the next year is projected to be $7.33 per share.</p><p>All told, Apple&#39;s accounting PE is about 23x, a number all AAPL investors must be very familiar with. However, once you consider its OE, then the multiple is actually on the order of 20x for this year and slightly below 20x on an FW basis.</p><p>Then finally, remember that Apple also carries a net cash position on its balance sheet (about $2.27 per share under its current conditions). Once you adjust the cash position too, its OE PE is on the order of 19.9x for this year and only 19.5x for next year.</p><p>And in the next section, we will see how we can do even better through BRK.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3ac6ab756c4503f2a547af66444cff4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Backdoor AAPL via BRK</h3><p>As mentioned earlier, the market value of BRK’s equity investment portfolio (based on dataroma) is at $296.1B As of this writing. AAPL is the largest position and is valued at $123.6B. So BRK’s equity investment excluding AAPL is worth about $173B, or $77 per share. The market capitalization for BRK is about $701B ($315 share price). Then also recall from its balance sheet, we know that there is $109 billion worth of cash sitting on its ledger.</p><p>Putting all these above numbers together, we can show that:</p><p>If we take out all the other equity investments except AAPL and the cash, BRK’s adjusted market cap is $420B (or $189 per share). This means if we buy BRK shares at $315 and then liquidate the cash and all other equity investments except AAPL, we effectively paid $189 for each BRK share only.</p><p>Why does this $189 buy us then? First, we bought all the AAPL shares that BRK owns. As of this writing, BRK owns a total of 894.8 million shares of AAPL, translating into 0.40 AAPL shares contained per BRK share. BRK has been consistently buying back its own shares. And I project this trend to continue. Extrapolating its share repurchase from the previous quarters, the AAPL shares contained in each BRK share would increase to 0.41 next year as shown.</p><p>Second, we also bought all the BRK operating segments too, which is what we will examine next.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16462afe4efe010fb29b16d41385f15a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"181\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>AAPL’s ownership PE via BRK</h3><p>BRK is projected to earn $12.9 per share of operating income in 2022, although 2022 may not be the most representative year. My best estimate for its normalized operating income is about $12 per share (or $26.7B in total), which is the assumption that I used in the analysis shown in the following table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4af9da2b8625409ae4723445ce6a9c94\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"159\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Now just as established above, if we buy BRK shares at $315, we are effectively buying 0.40 AAPL shares (or 0.41 on an FW basis) and all the BRK operating segments for $189. The BRK operating segments would provide earnings of $12 per share as assumed above, and the 0.4 AAPL shares would provide an OE of $2.88 (=0.40*$7.18). Thus, we paid $189 and got a total of $14.88 per share of OE ($12 from BRK operations plus $2.88 from AAPL). On an FW basis, the earnings would further increase to $15.13 per share due to a combination of AAPL earnings growth and BRK’s share repurchases as discussed above.</p><p>Now, how you compute the PE multiple here depends on how you value BRK’s operating income. The last row of the table shows an aggregated average, a sort of effective &#34;ownership&#34; PE of AAPL and BRK together, which turned out to be 12.7x based on 2022 financials and 12.1x on an FW basis.</p><p>If BRK’s operating income is priced at a 15x multiple – a quite reasonable multiple in my view, then BRK’s operating income would be worth $180 per share. Hence, we would be paying only $9 ($189-$12*15) for the 0.4 AAPL share, which provides $2.88 of OE. This means we would be owning the AAPL shares at a PE of about 3.1x only.</p><h3>Risks and final thoughts</h3><p>Specific risks for AAPL or BRK have been thoroughly discussed in other SA articles (including some of our own), and I won’t further add them here. Here I will focus on the risks and limitations associated with the particular backdoor idea described in this article.</p><ul><li>BRK’s cash position. In this analysis, I assumed that you could liquidate all the cash on its ledger. But of course, a good part of the cash is insurance float and cannot be liquidated (at least cannot be entirely liquidated). But there also are good reasons behind the approach that I used – at least as a thought experiment to analyze the financials and valuation. After all, cash is cash. If you buy BRK completely, every $1 in the insurance float still counts as $1.</li><li>Worth of BRK’s equity portfolio. The market valuation of BRK’s equity portfolio is always a moving target and changes on a daily basis with the market volatilities. Hence, there is some uncertainty here too. As aforementioned, the current portfolio value of $296.1B is already below the $306B disclosed in its 10-K back in September.</li></ul><p>Nonetheless, it’s always better to be approximately right than precisely wrong. And the bigger picture I see here are:</p><ul><li>Owning a perpetual compounder like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer to me.

That article argued that share repurchases at both AAPL and BRK are far more potent when considered together than viewed separately. Such “double buybacks” are compounding on steroids in our view.In this article, we want to switch the focus entirely. We will argue A) why buying/adding AAPL around its current price (which translates to about 20x owners' earnings) is a no-brainer, and B) why owning AAPL via BRK is an even better idea.Both AAPL and BRK have posted strong Q3 earnings. The key results are shown in the two charts below, and I will dive into the highlights as we go. These strong results, when combined with the price corrections during Q3 due to (or thanks to) market volatilities, investors have some great opportunities to buy or add these perpetual compounders at enticing entry valuations.For AAPL, its TTM EPS as of Q3 2022 (i.e., its FY Q4) came in at $6.11 per share as you can see from the first chart below. Later, you will see that such accounting EPS underestimates its owners' earnings (“OE”), and its OE is around $7.18, which translates into a share price near ~$145 at a 20x OE multiple. And I kept telling my readers buying/adding stock like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer. Stocks like AAPL (or BRK) are quintessential examples of equity bonds as explained in my earlier article because:To me, any valuation near or below 20x OE is very attractive for a stock with ROCE (return on capital employed) near 100% like AAPL. At about 100% ROCE, a 5% investment rate would provide 5% organic real growth rates (i.e., before inflation adjustments). And a 20x OE would provide about 5% owners earnings yield, leading to a total return in the double digits. Once you adjust for the risks (and I consider the risks from AAPL similar to treasury bonds), a 10%+ annual return is ~3x of what you can get from bonds in the long term.In this article, I will focus on an alternative way to own AAPL, a sort of backdoor, through BRK. And I will explain why owning AAPL this way is even more attractive under current conditions. And this brings me to the financials of BRK, as shown in the second chart in this section.BRK reported strong operating results for Q3 also and is on pace for a solid 2022. Operating earnings per share, which excludes capital gains and losses from the investment portfolio, clocked in at $3.00 in Q3, translating into an annual growth rate of almost 20% YOY. This was particularly impressive considering that its insurance segment suffered higher-than-usual operations losses due to hurricane Ida, Ian, and also the floods in Europe. The remainder of this analysis also will involve its balance sheet, which is posted below. And a couple of highlights relevant to the subsequent analyses:All my following per-share numbers for BRK (e.g., OE, equity, cash, et al) are quoted per Berkshire Hathaway B share, not A shares. Given that the focus here is on the financial (not voting power), the analysis should be perfectly applicable for A shares.Its equivalent Class B shares outstanding is taken to be 2.2B shares according to its most recent 10-K filing. The market value of its equity investment portfolio is taken from dataroma. And as of this writing, the portfolio value is reported to be $296.1B, slightly below the $306B shown in its 10-K below due to market fluctuations since the filing.With these parameters, let’s dive in and see how we can own AAPL through BRK at an effective PE of ~12x or below.AAPL’s EPS and OESince we are analyzing AAPL and BRK, it's only fitting to start with a quote from Warren Buffett on the difference between accounting EPS and owners' earnings (“OE”). The following is taken from Berkshire Hathaway's 1986 annual report (slightly edited with emphases added by me):These represent (“a”) reported earnings plus (“b”) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and certain other non-cash charges...less (“c”) the average annual amount of capitalized expenditures for plant and equipment, etc. that the business requires to fully maintain its long-term competitive position and its unit volume...Our owner-earnings equation does not yield the deceptively precise figures provided by GAAP, since (“c”) must be a guess - and one sometimes very difficult to make. Despite this problem, we consider the owner earnings figure, not the GAAP figure, to be the relevant item for valuation purposes...All of this points up the absurdity of the 'cash flow' numbers that are often set forth in Wall Street reports. These numbers routinely include (“a”) plus (“b”) - but do not subtract (“c”).The key is to estimate item c, and my analysis of item c for AAPL is shown in the table below. This table is based off Bruce Greenwald’s method (detailed in his book Value Investing) to separate maintenance capex and growth capex. Readers interested in the details could find them in my earlier article or his book.To wit, AAPL’s TTM accounting EPS came in at $6.11 per share as aforementioned. However, its OE is about $7.18 per share, about 18% higher. The reason for this higher OE is the accounting EPS considered all CAPEX to be a cost, while only the maintenance capex should be considered as costs as Buffett explained above. In AAPL’s case, the discrepancy should be obvious as its accounting EPS is even lower than its FCF (free cash flow) by about 13%, and then even the FCF is an underestimate of the true OE (again because the FCF calculation also considered all the capex expenses to costs). The third column in the table shows my forecast for the next year. And as you can see, the OE for Apple in the next year is projected to be $7.33 per share.All told, Apple's accounting PE is about 23x, a number all AAPL investors must be very familiar with. However, once you consider its OE, then the multiple is actually on the order of 20x for this year and slightly below 20x on an FW basis.Then finally, remember that Apple also carries a net cash position on its balance sheet (about $2.27 per share under its current conditions). Once you adjust the cash position too, its OE PE is on the order of 19.9x for this year and only 19.5x for next year.And in the next section, we will see how we can do even better through BRK.Backdoor AAPL via BRKAs mentioned earlier, the market value of BRK’s equity investment portfolio (based on dataroma) is at $296.1B As of this writing. AAPL is the largest position and is valued at $123.6B. So BRK’s equity investment excluding AAPL is worth about $173B, or $77 per share. The market capitalization for BRK is about $701B ($315 share price). Then also recall from its balance sheet, we know that there is $109 billion worth of cash sitting on its ledger.Putting all these above numbers together, we can show that:If we take out all the other equity investments except AAPL and the cash, BRK’s adjusted market cap is $420B (or $189 per share). This means if we buy BRK shares at $315 and then liquidate the cash and all other equity investments except AAPL, we effectively paid $189 for each BRK share only.Why does this $189 buy us then? First, we bought all the AAPL shares that BRK owns. As of this writing, BRK owns a total of 894.8 million shares of AAPL, translating into 0.40 AAPL shares contained per BRK share. BRK has been consistently buying back its own shares. And I project this trend to continue. Extrapolating its share repurchase from the previous quarters, the AAPL shares contained in each BRK share would increase to 0.41 next year as shown.Second, we also bought all the BRK operating segments too, which is what we will examine next.AAPL’s ownership PE via BRKBRK is projected to earn $12.9 per share of operating income in 2022, although 2022 may not be the most representative year. My best estimate for its normalized operating income is about $12 per share (or $26.7B in total), which is the assumption that I used in the analysis shown in the following table.Now just as established above, if we buy BRK shares at $315, we are effectively buying 0.40 AAPL shares (or 0.41 on an FW basis) and all the BRK operating segments for $189. The BRK operating segments would provide earnings of $12 per share as assumed above, and the 0.4 AAPL shares would provide an OE of $2.88 (=0.40*$7.18). Thus, we paid $189 and got a total of $14.88 per share of OE ($12 from BRK operations plus $2.88 from AAPL). On an FW basis, the earnings would further increase to $15.13 per share due to a combination of AAPL earnings growth and BRK’s share repurchases as discussed above.Now, how you compute the PE multiple here depends on how you value BRK’s operating income. The last row of the table shows an aggregated average, a sort of effective \"ownership\" PE of AAPL and BRK together, which turned out to be 12.7x based on 2022 financials and 12.1x on an FW basis.If BRK’s operating income is priced at a 15x multiple – a quite reasonable multiple in my view, then BRK’s operating income would be worth $180 per share. Hence, we would be paying only $9 ($189-$12*15) for the 0.4 AAPL share, which provides $2.88 of OE. This means we would be owning the AAPL shares at a PE of about 3.1x only.Risks and final thoughtsSpecific risks for AAPL or BRK have been thoroughly discussed in other SA articles (including some of our own), and I won’t further add them here. Here I will focus on the risks and limitations associated with the particular backdoor idea described in this article.BRK’s cash position. In this analysis, I assumed that you could liquidate all the cash on its ledger. But of course, a good part of the cash is insurance float and cannot be liquidated (at least cannot be entirely liquidated). But there also are good reasons behind the approach that I used – at least as a thought experiment to analyze the financials and valuation. After all, cash is cash. If you buy BRK completely, every $1 in the insurance float still counts as $1.Worth of BRK’s equity portfolio. The market valuation of BRK’s equity portfolio is always a moving target and changes on a daily basis with the market volatilities. Hence, there is some uncertainty here too. As aforementioned, the current portfolio value of $296.1B is already below the $306B disclosed in its 10-K back in September.Nonetheless, it’s always better to be approximately right than precisely wrong. And the bigger picture I see here are:Owning a perpetual compounder like AAPL near or below 20x OE is a no-brainer to me. And under Apple’s current conditions, with the cash position and underestimation of accounting EPS adjusted, a ~$145 stock price should translate into a 20x OE or below.The discrepancy between accounting PE and OE PE is even larger than BRK. And once these discrepancies are corrected, we can own Apple shares with an effective “ownership” PE through BRK at heavy discounts. The exact discounts depend on how your value BRK’s operating income, which can lead to an ownership PE of AAPL in the range of ~12x to free based on my analyses.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":225,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9963077134,"gmtCreate":1668559989328,"gmtModify":1676538075536,"author":{"id":"4090594976982710","authorId":"4090594976982710","name":"Anna79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15e28029cdd3aac4683d961154d6ab19","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4090594976982710","idStr":"4090594976982710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

However, in the longer run, as sentiment changes, if the average investor continues to let price determine the stock&#39;s narrative, this can cause the average investor to panic sell their shares in Sea Limited as the stock has dropped more than 70% from its all-time highs. As such, in the long run, the stock market is like a weighing machine that evaluates and measures the fundamentals of the company.</p><p>I would argue that this is the time to be buying Sea Limited rather than let the fear or the price action determine your investment decisions.</p><h2>Investment Thesis</h2><p>I have written elaborate articles on Sea both as an initiation article as well as follow up articles (here and here) as the market moves. With everything that is happening at Sea, my initial investment thesis for Sea still stands, as shown below:</p><p>1. Garena, will continue to be a market leader and serve as a cash cow for Sea, along with solid growth from not just Free Fire but also other budding new developments from its many gaming studios.</p><p>2. Undoubtedly, Sea&#39;s Shopee has the leadership position in Southeast Asia e-commerce. It is currently still in the early days in Southeast Asia for Shopee and it is likely to see strong growth in the future from increasing penetration in the region brought about by multiple tailwinds.</p><p>3. Sea&#39;s market expansion strategy has shown very strong discipline, with a focus on Latin America (LatAm) e-commerce market, which brings exposure to an underpenetrated, fast-growing market. It is also newer and testing waters in some newer geographies in Europe for example.</p><p>4. Sea&#39;s new emerging fintech business, SeaMoney, will bring additional high growth areas with strong digital payments tailwinds.</p><h2>Laser-Focused On Free Cash Flows And Capital Preservation</h2><p>Shopee, which is Sea&#39;s e-commerce arm, Shopee, made 2 announcements barely a month apart about its decision to exit from France and India. The 2 exits in 1 month clearly sank sentiment on the stock as it reduces the potential total addressable market for Sea and these 2 markets are not insignificant.</p><p>However, I am of the view that Sea&#39;s Shopee needs to pick the right battles and show investors that they are prudent with capital and making the right management decisions. As such, I think that the exit from France, and then India, is a blessing in disguise for Shopee as it saves the company and its shareholders the trouble of significant cash burn in highly competitive e-commerce markets in India and France, while being able to reallocate these precious financial resources and time to other markets in which Shopee is able to execute well, gain dominance and ultimately, generate free cash flows and profits.</p><p>Given that the combined GMV of these 2 markets are minimal at 0.3% of total GMV for the Sea Group, this early withdrawal from these 2 markets barely has an impact on current financials of the company due to the early stage trials that Shopee was doing in these markets.</p><p>For the exit from India, this comes at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny for Sea given Sea&#39;s Free Fire ban in India. As such, given the highly competitive e-commerce market in India and the huge size of the India e-commerce market which implies needing much more capital spending for GMV growth, it is wise for management to exit India to focus on conserving capital for where it would make more sense. For the exit from France, this came as Shopee management found that customer acquisition costs were too high and Shopee could not compete meaningfully in the market, resulting in a prompt decision from management to exit France.</p><p>With the 2 decisions made to exit France and India, I am not expecting Sea to be entering any new markets this year or in the near term, as it will be focusing on its core ASEAN and Taiwan markets and its new focus, Brazil and Latin America markets.</p><h2>Encouraging Trends In Brazil And Latin America For Shopee</h2><p>We are starting to see the results from Shopee&#39;s foray into Brazil and Latin America. As can be seen below, when looking at monthly active users, Shopee has outperformed in this metric compared to all other peers since March of 2021. I attribute this to Shopee gamifying the e-commerce experience, luring customers to return to the Shopee app, thus creating top mind share and, possible market share as well, in Brazil in such a span of slightly more than 2 years.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f856157084170e251a60a39175838bb7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"385\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Brazil e-commerce: Monthly active users (million) (Sensor <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWR.AU\">Tower</a>)</p><p>In Colombia, Shopee is already doing in-line or better than the international e-commerce players in the country by relative search index sources.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d29b69ed14f44e2efffb15323b85041\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"400\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Relative search interest in Colombia (Google Trends)</p><p>While Chile remains in the relatively early stages of development, the relative search index shows that momentum is growing in the country only after almost less than a year of Shopee operating in the country.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc8edd690b7e883a2e7d065e4e5376d9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"401\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Relative Search Index for Chile (Google Trends)</p><p>With improving metrics for Shopee in these LatAm regions, it would make more sense for Shopee to be redirecting its capital preserved from the India and France exit to focus on the opportunities in LatAm given the easier competitive and regulatory environment in the LatAm region.</p><p>In my view, the strategy Shopee takes in Brazil will be similar to its playbook in ASEAN and Taiwan, where it initially strives to gain mindshare and later, market share in the region, and emerge as a leader in the market based on its volumes and scale, which will then bring about the visibility of turning profitable in the region as it looks to reduce logistics costs over the large scale it has amassed.</p><p>Furthermore, Sea recently launched in Brazil the Shopee Live feature, which is basically the live-streaming feature. Live e-commerce is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the key e-commerce trends in the near term and I am of the opinion that Shopee can create an early advantage over its peers in the live e-commerce segment in LatAm. One key competitor that is currently having a similar live shopping feature is Magazine Luiza, where it offers exclusive discounts during live streaming. Specifically for the live-streaming feature on Shopee Live, this includes live broadcasts during which exclusive coupons are given, or use of guest stars and influencers as live presenters for Shopee Live to drive traffic.</p><p>The Shopee Live feature in Brazil can add a new dimension to the Shopee platform that complements the current e-commerce shopping experience and it also helps Shopee to engage its customers more directly through live-streaming and at the same time provide customers with a value add which is to have a sense of security as the product is reviewed by live streamers.</p><h3>Shopee ASEAN + Taiwan Turning Profitable With Scale</h3><p>Inflation is working in favour of Shopee, in my view. While inflation is affecting major e-commerce players in the form of higher logistics costs from rising cost of labour and fuel, Shopee&#39;s marketplace business model enables it to feel less of the inflation effect. This is in contrast to the 1P competitors that have to actually take on inventory. In addition, I think we will see Shopee have an advantage in the current environment given their focus on mass market and average order value categories, as it is in a good position when customers decide to trade down. In contrast, Sea&#39;s competitor in the region, Alibaba-owned (BABA) Lazada has a focus on higher order value items and premium items, which will be in a tougher position in the current environment.</p><p>Despite challenges from inflation and also potential increasing competition, I still expect that for the core region of ASEAN + Taiwan, we will see Shopee achieving its breakeven target in 2022. While Shopee is focusing on achieving this breakeven target, my channel checks have found that Shopee has managed to outgrow its competitors and maintain the market share it needs, while spending less on a per order basis. In my view, market share is key in e-commerce to ensure favourable unit economics to make the business model work. Further channel checks that have been done shows that Shopee is currently about 5x to 6x larger and 2x to 3x larger than competitors in terms of volumes in Taiwan and ASEAN respectively. As can be seen below, even with reduced spend per user, the monthly active users in the core ASEAN + Taiwan region is not just steady but continuing to grow.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30b8b1d6c599c34d0744929879160580\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"383\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Shopee (ASEAN + Taiwan) monthly active users (million) (Sensor Tower)</p><h2>Gaming Fears Has Been Priced In</h2><p>I have discussed the Free Fire ban in India several times in my previous articles on Sea (Found here and here). Although the Singapore government has taken efforts to talk with the Indian government about the ban of Free Fire in India, there is uncertainty about the potential return of the game in India.</p><p>However, I am of the opinion that the Free Fire ban has long been priced in given that the 2022F gaming guidance implies a 35% year over year drop in bookings and this guidance has already excluded all contributions from India.</p><p>There are also concerns about the impact of reopening of economies on Garena as the world economies reopen and normalise. While normalised user behaviour needs to be observed in the near term for any further weakness, management continues to improve the user experience and refresh content</p><h2>SeaMoney</h2><p>For Sea&#39;s financial services arm, SeaMoney, I think we will see the company continue to ramp up on verticals in non-payments like credit, insurance tech, and wealth management. Currently, SeaMoney is most comprehensive in Indonesia and could be rolled out to the Philippines in 2022.</p><p>Shopee Malaysia recently got the digital banking license in Malaysia, along with 4 other consortiums, opening up new opportunities for SeaMoney Malaysia. Furthermore, Shopee Brazil recently received approval as a payment institution in Brazil, paving the way for SeaMoney in the crucial LatAm market.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>My worst case SOTP valuation is updated with the latest information on the company, which includes:</p><ol><li>The impact of lower revenue guidance on gaming resulting in some downward revisions in gaming,</li><li>I assume the reallocation of Shopee&#39;s resources and capital expenditures from India and France to LatAm and ASEA and Taiwan, resulting in largely in-line e-commerce projections</li><li>With the new opportunities in Malaysia and Brazil for SeaMoney, I have made upward revisions on SeaMoney.</li></ol><p>With that the updated target price for Sea Limited is $188.25, implying 109% upside from current levels.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f135db17b0a51d1121959ee77598fee\" tg-width=\"389\" tg-height=\"457\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SOTP valuation for Sea Limited (Author generated)</p><h2>Risks</h2><h3>Competition</h3><p>Although Sea has exited the highly competitive market of India, e-commerce is still a competitive business with many competitors with deep pockets. As such Shopee could face fierce competition from global peers as international expansion in the industry continues. For example, Shopee has done well in Southeast Asia but the threat of Tokopedia in Indonesia is still there. Furthermore, Alibaba&#39;s Lazada is ramping up and focusing on international expansion as China&#39;s domestic e-commerce market slows. If competition intensifies, this could be a significant drag to profitability of the e-commerce segment.</p><h3>Execution In New Markets</h3><p>The operating and competitive environment in LatAm, and Europe has its challenges. Although Shopee has had a good run in Southeast Asia, there are still execution risks in these new markets especially with large domestic e-commerce players already present. That said, Shopee has shown strong execution and capital discipline thus far, and will only commit capital to a market it deems core.</p><h3>Synergies In All 3 Business Segments</h3><p>The flywheel effect could prove to be Sea&#39;s competitive advantage if it is able to build its gaming, e-commerce and fintech ecosystem well. However, if synergies between the 3 are not reaped, the company is not maximising the benefit of its entire ecosystem and should each segment operate increasingly in silos, this could result in deterioration of competitive advantage of Sea.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>To bring back the Benjamin Graham quote from earlier, in the short term, the stock market is like a voting machine, highly driven by sentiment and emotions. This is what is driving Sea Limited&#39;s stock price right now with the more than 70% decline from all-time highs. However, as highlighted, the business fundamentals are actually solid and improving. Sea&#39;s Shopee is soon to achieve its breakeven target in ASEAN + Taiwan as it continues to maintain and gain market share, while Shopee is growing rapidly and becoming dominant in LatAm, specifically in Brazil. While uncertainties remain on the gaming front, as I mentioned, I believe that this has already been priced in. Lastly, SeaMoney is seeing multiple opportunities open up in Sea&#39;s core markets and will likely gain greater traction this year.</p><p>As such, with the improving fundamentals, the astute investor would take the chance to invest in a company that is a winner in the fast-growing gaming, e-commerce and digital financial services in Asia and LatAm.

As such, in the long run, the stock market is like a weighing machine that evaluates and measures the fundamentals of the company.I would argue that this is the time to be buying Sea Limited rather than let the fear or the price action determine your investment decisions.Investment ThesisI have written elaborate articles on Sea both as an initiation article as well as follow up articles (here and here) as the market moves. With everything that is happening at Sea, my initial investment thesis for Sea still stands, as shown below:1. Garena, will continue to be a market leader and serve as a cash cow for Sea, along with solid growth from not just Free Fire but also other budding new developments from its many gaming studios.2. Undoubtedly, Sea's Shopee has the leadership position in Southeast Asia e-commerce. It is currently still in the early days in Southeast Asia for Shopee and it is likely to see strong growth in the future from increasing penetration in the region brought about by multiple tailwinds.3. Sea's market expansion strategy has shown very strong discipline, with a focus on Latin America (LatAm) e-commerce market, which brings exposure to an underpenetrated, fast-growing market. It is also newer and testing waters in some newer geographies in Europe for example.4. Sea's new emerging fintech business, SeaMoney, will bring additional high growth areas with strong digital payments tailwinds.Laser-Focused On Free Cash Flows And Capital PreservationShopee, which is Sea's e-commerce arm, Shopee, made 2 announcements barely a month apart about its decision to exit from France and India. The 2 exits in 1 month clearly sank sentiment on the stock as it reduces the potential total addressable market for Sea and these 2 markets are not insignificant.However, I am of the view that Sea's Shopee needs to pick the right battles and show investors that they are prudent with capital and making the right management decisions. As such, I think that the exit from France, and then India, is a blessing in disguise for Shopee as it saves the company and its shareholders the trouble of significant cash burn in highly competitive e-commerce markets in India and France, while being able to reallocate these precious financial resources and time to other markets in which Shopee is able to execute well, gain dominance and ultimately, generate free cash flows and profits.Given that the combined GMV of these 2 markets are minimal at 0.3% of total GMV for the Sea Group, this early withdrawal from these 2 markets barely has an impact on current financials of the company due to the early stage trials that Shopee was doing in these markets.For the exit from India, this comes at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny for Sea given Sea's Free Fire ban in India. As such, given the highly competitive e-commerce market in India and the huge size of the India e-commerce market which implies needing much more capital spending for GMV growth, it is wise for management to exit India to focus on conserving capital for where it would make more sense. For the exit from France, this came as Shopee management found that customer acquisition costs were too high and Shopee could not compete meaningfully in the market, resulting in a prompt decision from management to exit France.With the 2 decisions made to exit France and India, I am not expecting Sea to be entering any new markets this year or in the near term, as it will be focusing on its core ASEAN and Taiwan markets and its new focus, Brazil and Latin America markets.Encouraging Trends In Brazil And Latin America For ShopeeWe are starting to see the results from Shopee's foray into Brazil and Latin America. As can be seen below, when looking at monthly active users, Shopee has outperformed in this metric compared to all other peers since March of 2021. I attribute this to Shopee gamifying the e-commerce experience, luring customers to return to the Shopee app, thus creating top mind share and, possible market share as well, in Brazil in such a span of slightly more than 2 years.Brazil e-commerce: Monthly active users (million) (Sensor Tower)In Colombia, Shopee is already doing in-line or better than the international e-commerce players in the country by relative search index sources.Relative search interest in Colombia (Google Trends)While Chile remains in the relatively early stages of development, the relative search index shows that momentum is growing in the country only after almost less than a year of Shopee operating in the country.Relative Search Index for Chile (Google Trends)With improving metrics for Shopee in these LatAm regions, it would make more sense for Shopee to be redirecting its capital preserved from the India and France exit to focus on the opportunities in LatAm given the easier competitive and regulatory environment in the LatAm region.In my view, the strategy Shopee takes in Brazil will be similar to its playbook in ASEAN and Taiwan, where it initially strives to gain mindshare and later, market share in the region, and emerge as a leader in the market based on its volumes and scale, which will then bring about the visibility of turning profitable in the region as it looks to reduce logistics costs over the large scale it has amassed.Furthermore, Sea recently launched in Brazil the Shopee Live feature, which is basically the live-streaming feature. Live e-commerce is one of the key e-commerce trends in the near term and I am of the opinion that Shopee can create an early advantage over its peers in the live e-commerce segment in LatAm. One key competitor that is currently having a similar live shopping feature is Magazine Luiza, where it offers exclusive discounts during live streaming. Specifically for the live-streaming feature on Shopee Live, this includes live broadcasts during which exclusive coupons are given, or use of guest stars and influencers as live presenters for Shopee Live to drive traffic.The Shopee Live feature in Brazil can add a new dimension to the Shopee platform that complements the current e-commerce shopping experience and it also helps Shopee to engage its customers more directly through live-streaming and at the same time provide customers with a value add which is to have a sense of security as the product is reviewed by live streamers.Shopee ASEAN + Taiwan Turning Profitable With ScaleInflation is working in favour of Shopee, in my view. While inflation is affecting major e-commerce players in the form of higher logistics costs from rising cost of labour and fuel, Shopee's marketplace business model enables it to feel less of the inflation effect. This is in contrast to the 1P competitors that have to actually take on inventory. In addition, I think we will see Shopee have an advantage in the current environment given their focus on mass market and average order value categories, as it is in a good position when customers decide to trade down. In contrast, Sea's competitor in the region, Alibaba-owned (BABA) Lazada has a focus on higher order value items and premium items, which will be in a tougher position in the current environment.Despite challenges from inflation and also potential increasing competition, I still expect that for the core region of ASEAN + Taiwan, we will see Shopee achieving its breakeven target in 2022. While Shopee is focusing on achieving this breakeven target, my channel checks have found that Shopee has managed to outgrow its competitors and maintain the market share it needs, while spending less on a per order basis. In my view, market share is key in e-commerce to ensure favourable unit economics to make the business model work. Further channel checks that have been done shows that Shopee is currently about 5x to 6x larger and 2x to 3x larger than competitors in terms of volumes in Taiwan and ASEAN respectively. As can be seen below, even with reduced spend per user, the monthly active users in the core ASEAN + Taiwan region is not just steady but continuing to grow.Shopee (ASEAN + Taiwan) monthly active users (million) (Sensor Tower)Gaming Fears Has Been Priced InI have discussed the Free Fire ban in India several times in my previous articles on Sea (Found here and here). Although the Singapore government has taken efforts to talk with the Indian government about the ban of Free Fire in India, there is uncertainty about the potential return of the game in India.However, I am of the opinion that the Free Fire ban has long been priced in given that the 2022F gaming guidance implies a 35% year over year drop in bookings and this guidance has already excluded all contributions from India.There are also concerns about the impact of reopening of economies on Garena as the world economies reopen and normalise. While normalised user behaviour needs to be observed in the near term for any further weakness, management continues to improve the user experience and refresh contentSeaMoneyFor Sea's financial services arm, SeaMoney, I think we will see the company continue to ramp up on verticals in non-payments like credit, insurance tech, and wealth management. Currently, SeaMoney is most comprehensive in Indonesia and could be rolled out to the Philippines in 2022.Shopee Malaysia recently got the digital banking license in Malaysia, along with 4 other consortiums, opening up new opportunities for SeaMoney Malaysia. Furthermore, Shopee Brazil recently received approval as a payment institution in Brazil, paving the way for SeaMoney in the crucial LatAm market.ValuationMy worst case SOTP valuation is updated with the latest information on the company, which includes:The impact of lower revenue guidance on gaming resulting in some downward revisions in gaming,I assume the reallocation of Shopee's resources and capital expenditures from India and France to LatAm and ASEA and Taiwan, resulting in largely in-line e-commerce projectionsWith the new opportunities in Malaysia and Brazil for SeaMoney, I have made upward revisions on SeaMoney.With that the updated target price for Sea Limited is $188.25, implying 109% upside from current levels.SOTP valuation for Sea Limited (Author generated)RisksCompetitionAlthough Sea has exited the highly competitive market of India, e-commerce is still a competitive business with many competitors with deep pockets. As such Shopee could face fierce competition from global peers as international expansion in the industry continues. For example, Shopee has done well in Southeast Asia but the threat of Tokopedia in Indonesia is still there. Furthermore, Alibaba's Lazada is ramping up and focusing on international expansion as China's domestic e-commerce market slows. If competition intensifies, this could be a significant drag to profitability of the e-commerce segment.Execution In New MarketsThe operating and competitive environment in LatAm, and Europe has its challenges. Although Shopee has had a good run in Southeast Asia, there are still execution risks in these new markets especially with large domestic e-commerce players already present. That said, Shopee has shown strong execution and capital discipline thus far, and will only commit capital to a market it deems core.Synergies In All 3 Business SegmentsThe flywheel effect could prove to be Sea's competitive advantage if it is able to build its gaming, e-commerce and fintech ecosystem well. However, if synergies between the 3 are not reaped, the company is not maximising the benefit of its entire ecosystem and should each segment operate increasingly in silos, this could result in deterioration of competitive advantage of Sea.ConclusionTo bring back the Benjamin Graham quote from earlier, in the short term, the stock market is like a voting machine, highly driven by sentiment and emotions. This is what is driving Sea Limited's stock price right now with the more than 70% decline from all-time highs. However, as highlighted, the business fundamentals are actually solid and improving. Sea's Shopee is soon to achieve its breakeven target in ASEAN + Taiwan as it continues to maintain and gain market share, while Shopee is growing rapidly and becoming dominant in LatAm, specifically in Brazil. While uncertainties remain on the gaming front, as I mentioned, I believe that this has already been priced in. Lastly, SeaMoney is seeing multiple opportunities open up in Sea's core markets and will likely gain greater traction this year.As such, with the improving fundamentals, the astute investor would take the chance to invest in a company that is a winner in the fast-growing gaming, e-commerce and digital financial services in Asia and LatAm. With that, my SOTP target price for Sea is $188.25, implying 109% upside from current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":106,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9066086206,"gmtCreate":1651820038605,"gmtModify":1676534978289,"author":{"id":"4090594976982710","authorId":"4090594976982710","name":"Anna79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15e28029cdd3aac4683d961154d6ab19","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4090594976982710","idStr":"4090594976982710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Enlightening - thank YOU&nbsp;","listText":"Enlightening - thank YOU&nbsp;","text":"Enlightening - thank YOU","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9066086206","repostId":"2233184399","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2233184399","pubTimestamp":1651802485,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2233184399?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-06 10:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea Limited: The Astute Investor Buys When The Average Investor Sells","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2233184399","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, is famous for saying that the market is like a votin","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, is famous for saying that the market is like a voting machine in the short run and in the long run, the market is like a weighing machine.</p><p>I think that this encapsulates what has happened with Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) very well as we have seen the stock rise more than 800% from its COVID lows to its all-time high, as sentiment was positive and investors let the price determine the narrative of the stock in the short run.

That said, Shopee has shown strong execution and capital discipline thus far, and will only commit capital to a market it deems core.</p><h3>Synergies In All 3 Business Segments</h3><p>The flywheel effect could prove to be Sea&#39;s competitive advantage if it is able to build its gaming, e-commerce and fintech ecosystem well. However, if synergies between the 3 are not reaped, the company is not maximising the benefit of its entire ecosystem and should each segment operate increasingly in silos, this could result in deterioration of competitive advantage of Sea.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>To bring back the Benjamin Graham quote from earlier, in the short term, the stock market is like a voting machine, highly driven by sentiment and emotions. This is what is driving Sea Limited&#39;s stock price right now with the more than 70% decline from all-time highs. However, as highlighted, the business fundamentals are actually solid and improving. Sea&#39;s Shopee is soon to achieve its breakeven target in ASEAN + Taiwan as it continues to maintain and gain market share, while Shopee is growing rapidly and becoming dominant in LatAm, specifically in Brazil. While uncertainties remain on the gaming front, as I mentioned, I believe that this has already been priced in. Lastly, SeaMoney is seeing multiple opportunities open up in Sea&#39;s core markets and will likely gain greater traction this year.</p><p>As such, with the improving fundamentals, the astute investor would take the chance to invest in a company that is a winner in the fast-growing gaming, e-commerce and digital financial services in Asia and LatAm. With that, my SOTP target price for Sea is $188.25, implying 109% upside from current levels.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","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>Sea Limited: The Astute Investor Buys When The Average Investor Sells</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\">\nSea Limited: The Astute Investor Buys When The Average Investor Sells\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-06 10:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4507258-sea-limited-the-astute-investor-buys-when-the-average-investor-sells><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, is famous for saying that the market is like a voting machine in the short run and in the long run, the market is like a weighing machine.I think that ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4507258-sea-limited-the-astute-investor-buys-when-the-average-investor-sells\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4504":"桥水持仓","BGNE":"百济神州","BK4548":"巴美列捷福持仓","BK4535":"淡马锡持仓","BK4505":"高瓴资本持仓","SE":"Sea Ltd","BK4526":"热门中概股"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4507258-sea-limited-the-astute-investor-buys-when-the-average-investor-sells","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2233184399","content_text":"Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, is famous for saying that the market is like a voting machine in the short run and in the long run, the market is like a weighing machine.I think that this encapsulates what has happened with Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) very well as we have seen the stock rise more than 800% from its COVID lows to its all-time high, as sentiment was positive and investors let the price determine the narrative of the stock in the short run. However, in the longer run, as sentiment changes, if the average investor continues to let price determine the stock's narrative, this can cause the average investor to panic sell their shares in Sea Limited as the stock has dropped more than 70% from its all-time highs. As such, in the long run, the stock market is like a weighing machine that evaluates and measures the fundamentals of the company.I would argue that this is the time to be buying Sea Limited rather than let the fear or the price action determine your investment decisions.Investment ThesisI have written elaborate articles on Sea both as an initiation article as well as follow up articles (here and here) as the market moves. With everything that is happening at Sea, my initial investment thesis for Sea still stands, as shown below:1. Garena, will continue to be a market leader and serve as a cash cow for Sea, along with solid growth from not just Free Fire but also other budding new developments from its many gaming studios.2. Undoubtedly, Sea's Shopee has the leadership position in Southeast Asia e-commerce. It is currently still in the early days in Southeast Asia for Shopee and it is likely to see strong growth in the future from increasing penetration in the region brought about by multiple tailwinds.3. Sea's market expansion strategy has shown very strong discipline, with a focus on Latin America (LatAm) e-commerce market, which brings exposure to an underpenetrated, fast-growing market. It is also newer and testing waters in some newer geographies in Europe for example.4. Sea's new emerging fintech business, SeaMoney, will bring additional high growth areas with strong digital payments tailwinds.Laser-Focused On Free Cash Flows And Capital PreservationShopee, which is Sea's e-commerce arm, Shopee, made 2 announcements barely a month apart about its decision to exit from France and India. The 2 exits in 1 month clearly sank sentiment on the stock as it reduces the potential total addressable market for Sea and these 2 markets are not insignificant.However, I am of the view that Sea's Shopee needs to pick the right battles and show investors that they are prudent with capital and making the right management decisions. As such, I think that the exit from France, and then India, is a blessing in disguise for Shopee as it saves the company and its shareholders the trouble of significant cash burn in highly competitive e-commerce markets in India and France, while being able to reallocate these precious financial resources and time to other markets in which Shopee is able to execute well, gain dominance and ultimately, generate free cash flows and profits.Given that the combined GMV of these 2 markets are minimal at 0.3% of total GMV for the Sea Group, this early withdrawal from these 2 markets barely has an impact on current financials of the company due to the early stage trials that Shopee was doing in these markets.For the exit from India, this comes at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny for Sea given Sea's Free Fire ban in India. As such, given the highly competitive e-commerce market in India and the huge size of the India e-commerce market which implies needing much more capital spending for GMV growth, it is wise for management to exit India to focus on conserving capital for where it would make more sense. For the exit from France, this came as Shopee management found that customer acquisition costs were too high and Shopee could not compete meaningfully in the market, resulting in a prompt decision from management to exit France.With the 2 decisions made to exit France and India, I am not expecting Sea to be entering any new markets this year or in the near term, as it will be focusing on its core ASEAN and Taiwan markets and its new focus, Brazil and Latin America markets.Encouraging Trends In Brazil And Latin America For ShopeeWe are starting to see the results from Shopee's foray into Brazil and Latin America. As can be seen below, when looking at monthly active users, Shopee has outperformed in this metric compared to all other peers since March of 2021. I attribute this to Shopee gamifying the e-commerce experience, luring customers to return to the Shopee app, thus creating top mind share and, possible market share as well, in Brazil in such a span of slightly more than 2 years.Brazil e-commerce: Monthly active users (million) (Sensor Tower)In Colombia, Shopee is already doing in-line or better than the international e-commerce players in the country by relative search index sources.Relative search interest in Colombia (Google Trends)While Chile remains in the relatively early stages of development, the relative search index shows that momentum is growing in the country only after almost less than a year of Shopee operating in the country.Relative Search Index for Chile (Google Trends)With improving metrics for Shopee in these LatAm regions, it would make more sense for Shopee to be redirecting its capital preserved from the India and France exit to focus on the opportunities in LatAm given the easier competitive and regulatory environment in the LatAm region.In my view, the strategy Shopee takes in Brazil will be similar to its playbook in ASEAN and Taiwan, where it initially strives to gain mindshare and later, market share in the region, and emerge as a leader in the market based on its volumes and scale, which will then bring about the visibility of turning profitable in the region as it looks to reduce logistics costs over the large scale it has amassed.Furthermore, Sea recently launched in Brazil the Shopee Live feature, which is basically the live-streaming feature. Live e-commerce is one of the key e-commerce trends in the near term and I am of the opinion that Shopee can create an early advantage over its peers in the live e-commerce segment in LatAm. One key competitor that is currently having a similar live shopping feature is Magazine Luiza, where it offers exclusive discounts during live streaming. Specifically for the live-streaming feature on Shopee Live, this includes live broadcasts during which exclusive coupons are given, or use of guest stars and influencers as live presenters for Shopee Live to drive traffic.The Shopee Live feature in Brazil can add a new dimension to the Shopee platform that complements the current e-commerce shopping experience and it also helps Shopee to engage its customers more directly through live-streaming and at the same time provide customers with a value add which is to have a sense of security as the product is reviewed by live streamers.Shopee ASEAN + Taiwan Turning Profitable With ScaleInflation is working in favour of Shopee, in my view. While inflation is affecting major e-commerce players in the form of higher logistics costs from rising cost of labour and fuel, Shopee's marketplace business model enables it to feel less of the inflation effect. This is in contrast to the 1P competitors that have to actually take on inventory. In addition, I think we will see Shopee have an advantage in the current environment given their focus on mass market and average order value categories, as it is in a good position when customers decide to trade down. In contrast, Sea's competitor in the region, Alibaba-owned (BABA) Lazada has a focus on higher order value items and premium items, which will be in a tougher position in the current environment.Despite challenges from inflation and also potential increasing competition, I still expect that for the core region of ASEAN + Taiwan, we will see Shopee achieving its breakeven target in 2022. While Shopee is focusing on achieving this breakeven target, my channel checks have found that Shopee has managed to outgrow its competitors and maintain the market share it needs, while spending less on a per order basis. In my view, market share is key in e-commerce to ensure favourable unit economics to make the business model work. Further channel checks that have been done shows that Shopee is currently about 5x to 6x larger and 2x to 3x larger than competitors in terms of volumes in Taiwan and ASEAN respectively. As can be seen below, even with reduced spend per user, the monthly active users in the core ASEAN + Taiwan region is not just steady but continuing to grow.Shopee (ASEAN + Taiwan) monthly active users (million) (Sensor Tower)Gaming Fears Has Been Priced InI have discussed the Free Fire ban in India several times in my previous articles on Sea (Found here and here). Although the Singapore government has taken efforts to talk with the Indian government about the ban of Free Fire in India, there is uncertainty about the potential return of the game in India.However, I am of the opinion that the Free Fire ban has long been priced in given that the 2022F gaming guidance implies a 35% year over year drop in bookings and this guidance has already excluded all contributions from India.There are also concerns about the impact of reopening of economies on Garena as the world economies reopen and normalise. While normalised user behaviour needs to be observed in the near term for any further weakness, management continues to improve the user experience and refresh contentSeaMoneyFor Sea's financial services arm, SeaMoney, I think we will see the company continue to ramp up on verticals in non-payments like credit, insurance tech, and wealth management. Currently, SeaMoney is most comprehensive in Indonesia and could be rolled out to the Philippines in 2022.Shopee Malaysia recently got the digital banking license in Malaysia, along with 4 other consortiums, opening up new opportunities for SeaMoney Malaysia. Furthermore, Shopee Brazil recently received approval as a payment institution in Brazil, paving the way for SeaMoney in the crucial LatAm market.ValuationMy worst case SOTP valuation is updated with the latest information on the company, which includes:The impact of lower revenue guidance on gaming resulting in some downward revisions in gaming,I assume the reallocation of Shopee's resources and capital expenditures from India and France to LatAm and ASEA and Taiwan, resulting in largely in-line e-commerce projectionsWith the new opportunities in Malaysia and Brazil for SeaMoney, I have made upward revisions on SeaMoney.With that the updated target price for Sea Limited is $188.25, implying 109% upside from current levels.SOTP valuation for Sea Limited (Author generated)RisksCompetitionAlthough Sea has exited the highly competitive market of India, e-commerce is still a competitive business with many competitors with deep pockets. As such Shopee could face fierce competition from global peers as international expansion in the industry continues. For example, Shopee has done well in Southeast Asia but the threat of Tokopedia in Indonesia is still there. Furthermore, Alibaba's Lazada is ramping up and focusing on international expansion as China's domestic e-commerce market slows. If competition intensifies, this could be a significant drag to profitability of the e-commerce segment.Execution In New MarketsThe operating and competitive environment in LatAm, and Europe has its challenges. Although Shopee has had a good run in Southeast Asia, there are still execution risks in these new markets especially with large domestic e-commerce players already present. That said, Shopee has shown strong execution and capital discipline thus far, and will only commit capital to a market it deems core.Synergies In All 3 Business SegmentsThe flywheel effect could prove to be Sea's competitive advantage if it is able to build its gaming, e-commerce and fintech ecosystem well. However, if synergies between the 3 are not reaped, the company is not maximising the benefit of its entire ecosystem and should each segment operate increasingly in silos, this could result in deterioration of competitive advantage of Sea.ConclusionTo bring back the Benjamin Graham quote from earlier, in the short term, the stock market is like a voting machine, highly driven by sentiment and emotions. This is what is driving Sea Limited's stock price right now with the more than 70% decline from all-time highs. However, as highlighted, the business fundamentals are actually solid and improving.
