Fool","summary":"The Oracle of Omaha's methodology is passing the test of time after all.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Warren Buffett&#39;s value-based approach to picking stocks somewhat fell out of favor back in mid-2020, when growth stocks led the market out of its pandemic-prompted pullback. The market environment is more than a little rocky this year, though, and Buffett&#39;s philosophy is proving itself once again. Whereas the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has been rather deep in the red over the past year of trading, <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> stock is basically breaking even.</p><p>Translation: Given enough time, the all-weather Warren Buffett way still works.</p><p>Let&#39;s take a look at three Berkshire holdings you may want to scoop up for yourself, and soon. They&#39;re mostly underperforming for now. But these stocks tend to be recession-resilient, and they could end up outperforming the broad market in the foreseeable future.</p><h2>1. Bank of America</h2><p>At first glance, there are some troubling indicators surrounding banks right now. Rising interest rates could crimp demand for loans, while a weakening economy dents borrowers&#39; ability to make loan payments. Such an environment also sours the stock market, undermining the banking industry&#39;s investment-related businesses.</p><p>But investors may be pricing in far more downside than is merited for banks at the same time they&#39;re overlooking the upsides of this situation. That&#39;s arguably what&#39;s happening with <b>Bank of America</b> shares anyway.</p><p>Yes, last quarter&#39;s results showed a sizable uptick in provisions for losses on loans that may be in the cards, and per-share earnings fell from $0.85 to only $0.81 per share. That&#39;s quite possibly the worst trouble the bank&#39;s facing though. Even the company&#39;s investment management operation more or less matched this year&#39;s second-quarter results as well as the year-ago Q3 results during the third quarter of this year despite the broader market&#39;s poor performance.</p><p>Indeed, things may even be looking up very soon for Buffett&#39;s beaten-down $133 billion Bank of America position, which accounts for more than a tenth of his total stock holdings.</p><p>Although Bank of America is likely to make far fewer loans within the next few months than it has during the past few months, the net profitability of those loans should be much greater than the bank&#39;s current loan portfolio. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Finance, CEO Brian Moynihan pointed out that continued increases in interest rates could add another billion dollars worth of profitability to the company&#39;s current bottom line. That would bolster net interest income that was already up 24% year over year last quarter.</p><p>It&#39;s a possibility, however, that&#39;s only recent begun to be reflected in the stock&#39;s rebound effort from a sell-off that dragged it 40% below February&#39;s peak price. Still down 20% year to date though, the bounce since October&#39;s low may be a sign that the market is finally starting to right-price this ticker headed into November.</p><h2>2. Coca-Cola</h2><p>The recession-related risk of losing a job may prompt some people to cancel a vacation or postpone the purchase of a new car. Economic weakness and burgeoning inflation, however, typically don&#39;t cause consumers to stop buying their favorite beverages.</p><p>Enter<b> Coca-Cola</b>, which is doing just fine at a time when most companies aren&#39;t. Last quarter&#39;s organic revenue was up 16% on a 4% increase in unit volume, meaning the beverage giant is successfully passing along its higher costs to its customers. The company also managed to gain market share in a very crowded drinks market. And, given all that its management knows right now, Coca-Cola is still looking for solid single-digit revenue and earnings growth for the upcoming year despite broad economic headwinds.</p><p>This loyalty makes sense. Coca-Cola is one of the world&#39;s most recognized and beloved brand names, and being in business for 136 years means it&#39;s had plenty of time to become a fixture of the global culture. Christmas ornaments, clothing, toys, and home decor are just some of non-beverage goods that regularly borrow the Coca-Cola logo and colors, reflecting the planet&#39;s affinity for the brand outside of beverages.</p><p>Of course, The Coca-Cola Company isn&#39;t just its namesake cola anymore. The company reaches plenty of non-soda drinkers as well; it also owns Dasani water, Gold Peak tea, and Minute Maid juices, just to name a few.</p><p>Perhaps the real upside to new investors, however, is the nuance that Buffett likes most about this particular Berkshire holding. That&#39;s the dividend -- and its reliable growth -- that keeps on coming even in lousy environments. The quarterly payout has not only been paid like clockwork for decades now, but the annual dividend payment has been upped every year for the past 60 years.  Thanks to the stock&#39;s relative weakness this year, you can step into this stock right now while its yield is an above-average 3%.</p><h2>3. American Express</h2><p>Finally, add <b>American Express</b> to your list of Buffett stocks to buy sooner than later, while you can still buy it 26% below February&#39;s peak.</p><p>On the surface, it&#39;s just another credit company. Dig deeper, though, and it&#39;s much more. Whereas competitors like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b> and <b>Mastercard</b> provide a payments processing platform for card issuers, American Express builds and operates its own robust charge-card ecosystem. The bulk of the company&#39;s personal and business charge cards impose an annual fee, but it&#39;s a fee its customers gladly pay in exchange for incredible perks. The Platinum Card, for instance, offers access to select airport lounges, while the Gold Card offers outright credits for <b>Uber Technology</b>&#39;s ride-hailing services.</p><p>And this ecosystem of benefits is no small matter.</p><p>The company earns interest income like any other lender and collects the usual transaction fees for facilitating the purchase of goods and services. But it also generates a great deal of service and card-fee income. Roughly 10% of last quarter&#39;s top line came from cardholders&#39; payments just for the privilege of holding an American Express charge card.</p><p>Of course, the economic turbulence could rattle consumers&#39; spending and prompt some to cancel credit cards that incur an annual fee. But that&#39;s not as likely as you might suspect.</p><p>Aside from the fact that American Express cardholders really, <i>really</i> love their rewards programs -- in August, J.D. Power ranked American Express highest for customer satisfaction for a third year in a row -- credit cards aren&#39;t just for splurging anymore. They&#39;re increasingly being used as an alternative to cash to buy everyday goods. In this vein, American Express has collected nearly $38.7 billion in net revenue through the first three quarters of this year, up 30% from where it was at this time of year in pre-pandemic 2019. Analysts are calling for top-line growth of 11% next year, too, despite the brewing economic headwind. That&#39;s more than many other companies will be able to produce.</p><p>You won&#39;t want to tarry if you agree with the bigger-picture bullish premise either. While the stock&#39;s deep in the red for the year, American Express and now both Mastercard and Visa all agreed in their most recent earnings reports that consumer spending is remaining surprisingly firm. The market hasn&#39;t been pricing these stocks accordingly, but may well do that beginning in November now that all three players are singing the same chorus.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in November</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in November\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-29 09:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/28/3-warren-buffett-stocks-to-buy-hand-over-fist-in-n/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett's value-based approach to picking stocks somewhat fell out of favor back in mid-2020, when growth stocks led the market out of its pandemic-prompted pullback.

The market hasn't been pricing these stocks accordingly, but may well do that beginning in November now that all three players are singing the same chorus.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":217,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":891511409,"gmtCreate":1628399038501,"gmtModify":1703505867742,"author":{"id":"4091101807150390","authorId":"4091101807150390","name":"daveboy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1aed30f8c652ff819cde0f8863774839","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091101807150390","authorIdStr":"4091101807150390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thank you!","listText":"Pls like thank you!","text":"Pls like thank you!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/891511409","repostId":"1180529438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180529438","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628386129,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180529438?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-08 09:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SEC Moves First DeFi Unregistered Securities Lawsuit","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180529438","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The United States Securities and Exchange Commission  sued the organization responsible for the development of a decentralized finance  protocol over activities involved with the project for the first time.What Happened: According to a Friday SEC announcement, the agency has sued Cayman Islands-based Blockchain Credit Partners and two of its top executives over allegedly selling unregistered securities through its DeFi Money Market platform from February 2020 to February 2021.

That sets the stage for the Fed to hit the \"substantial further progress\" benchmark it has set before it will start tightening policy.\n\"Given this outlook and so long as inflation expectations remain well anchored at the 2% longer-run goal … commencing policy normalization in 2023 would, under these conditions, be entirely consistent with our new flexible average inflation targeting framework,\" the policymaker told the Peterson Institute for International Economics in a virtual appearance.\nClarida, however, gave no timetable for when the Fed might start curtailing its monthly asset purchases. Indeed, the central bank has been buying $120 billion a month in Treasury securities and mortgage-backed bonds to keep financial markets liquid amid the Covid crisis.\nWhile Clarida noted that officials are discussing when they might pull back on these bond purchases, he said only that the public will be given plenty of notice before a decision is made.\nThe speech comes amid growing concern overa peak in the economic recoverythat began in April 2020, as well as a surge in inflation that has taken price increases well beyond the Fed’s target.\nClarida noted thatcore personal consumption expenditure prices— the Fed’s preferred inflation metric — are running at a 2.7% rate since February 2020, just before the Covid pandemic hit. Should his expectations for inflation ahead materialize, “then I believe that … necessary conditions for raising the target range for the federal funds rate will have been met by year-end 2022.”\nCurrent market pricing has shifted in terms of rate expectations, with futures contracts tied to the Fed’s benchmark rate now indicating just a 43.7% chance of a hike by the end of 2022, according to the CME Group.\nHowever, market sentiment around the Fed is volatile, and Clarida’s comments, particularly around inflation, indicate that a move could come sooner.\n“If, as projected, core PCE inflation this year does come in at, or certainly above, 3%, I will consider that much more than a ‘moderate’ overshoot of our 2% longer-run inflation objective,” he said. “As always, there are risks to any outlook, and I believe that the risks to my outlook for inflation are to the upside.”\nUnder a framework adopted last year, the Fed said it will tolerate a “moderate” run of inflation above 2% in the interest of reaching a full and inclusive goal regarding employment.\nWhile the jobless rate has dropped to 5.9% from its pandemic high of 14.8%, there are still about 7.6 million fewer Americans working now than prior to the crisis.Payroll processing firm ADP reported Wednesdaythat private employers added just 330,000 jobs in July, well below the 653,000 estimate.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":297,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890882596,"gmtCreate":1628091987315,"gmtModify":1703501162529,"author":{"id":"4091101807150390","authorId":"4091101807150390","name":"daveboy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1aed30f8c652ff819cde0f8863774839","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091101807150390","authorIdStr":"4091101807150390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890882596","repostId":"1187165636","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":277,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807135298,"gmtCreate":1628004913314,"gmtModify":1703499563497,"author":{"id":"4091101807150390","authorId":"4091101807150390","name":"daveboy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1aed30f8c652ff819cde0f8863774839","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091101807150390","authorIdStr":"4091101807150390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pla like thank you!","listText":"Pla like thank you!","text":"Pla like thank you!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807135298","repostId":"1106155875","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106155875","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628002982,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106155875?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-03 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber stock drops ahead of earnings report amid driver shortage","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106155875","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Uber shares are down 3% as the company heads toward reporting second-quarter earnings after the bell","content":"<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">Uber</a> shares are down 3% as the company heads toward reporting second-quarter earnings after the bell tomorrow amid a driver shortage that could weigh down revenue.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f1082b49fa61acaaf2ce8b895f7277e\" tg-width=\"946\" tg-height=\"633\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Analysts expect $3.7B in revenue, up 20% quarter-over-quarter and 39% higher than the same period last year.

While the company doesn’t talk about the business much andprovides little disclosure, Sacconaghi estimates that Apple will generate about $3 billion in ad revenue in the September 2021 fiscal year, up from about $300 million in fiscal 2017. He thinks the total could grow to the $7 billion-to-$10 billion-a-year range by fiscal 2023 or 2024, boosting growth in Apple’s services business as much as three percentage points.</p>\n<p>Sacconaghi notes that most of Apple’s ad business is centered on search ads in the App Store. He says growth drivers in the business include the June addition of search ads in China, higher ad loads, and the introduction of banner ads to the store in May. He also points out that Apple generates modest revenue today—likely under $500 million a year—from ads in the Apple News and Stocks apps.</p>\n<p>There are other opportunities—including Apple Maps and Apple TV. Sacconaghi estimates that Google generates about $4 billion in ad revenue a year from Maps, with a user base about four times the size, suggesting $1 billion a year in potential ad revenue. And he says that the streaming-device companyRoku (ROKU)provides “a helpful precedent” for how Apple can generate revenue from Apple TV hardware—where he sees another $1 billion-plus opportunity.</p>\n<p>The analyst adds that Apple could place ads on other properties—like Apple Fitness+ and Garage Band—but that the adoption of advertising in applications like Apple Mail, Apple TV+, or Apple’s home screens likely would “irk consumers and undermine Apple’s strongly avowed stance on privacy.”</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sacconaghi says, Apple’s position on Identifier for Advertisers, or IDFA, offers the company some competitive advantages. “While we believe that Apple’s move to eliminate IDFA was done in the spirit of advancing consumer privacy, it may ultimately provide Apple with an advertising platform that is competitively advantaged vs. peers who don’t have access to Apple’s richer APIs,” he writes.</p>\n<p>The analyst notes thatAmazon.com‘s (AMZN) ad business was similar in size to Apple’s in 2017—and now has a run rate north of $25 billion and is a substantial part of the investment thesis on the stock. “Along similar lines, a large and growing advertising business could help Apple accelerate its overall Services growth rate, which would likely be viewed positively by investors,” he concludes.</p>\n<p>Apple shares were up 0.1%, at $145.72, in recent trading.

TheS&P 500was down fractionally.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":407,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807326467,"gmtCreate":1628001563459,"gmtModify":1703499479682,"author":{"id":"4091101807150390","authorId":"4091101807150390","name":"daveboy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1aed30f8c652ff819cde0f8863774839","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4091101807150390","authorIdStr":"4091101807150390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thank you","listText":"Pls like thank you","text":"Pls like thank you","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/807326467","repostId":"1102455284","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1102455284","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628000975,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1102455284?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-03 22:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Square Stock A Buy?

Some investors questioned whether Square needed to buy a BNPL company as opposed to building up its own capabilities or partnering.</p>\n<p>Square stock also reported mixed second-quarter results.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin hit an all-time high near $65,000 in April. At the time, Square stock traded near an all-time high. Bitcoin, which recently fell to around $30,000, on July 26 rebounded to $39,000. It's still off&nbsp; 40% from its all-time high.</p>\n<p>Square reported a $45 million impairment to operating income in the June quarter related to its Bitcoin investments.</p>\n<p>In a tweet on July 15, Square Chief Executive Jack Dorsey said the company will create a new business line to help developers build financial services products focused on Bitcoin.</p>\n<p>Square is \"building an open developer platform with the sole goal of making it easy to create non-custodial, permission-less, and decentralized financial services,\" Dorsey tweeted.</p>\n<p>SQ stock surged in 2020 as investors focused on the growth of its consumer Cash App. They shrugged off worries over Square stock exposure to small businesses and restaurants that might close because of the coronavirus pandemic.</p>\n<p>\"Square's business has been on a wild ride through the Covid-19 pandemic,\" MoffettNathanson analyst Lisa Ellis said in a recent note to clients. \"Mandatory business closures abruptly shuttered many of its core seller customers, triggering a dramatic drop in Square's business, followed by an equally dramatic rebound.</p>\n<p>Square Stock: Investments Hiked In 2021</p>\n<p>\"At the same time, the pandemic has turbo-charged the growth of Square's wildly popular consumer Cash App business,\" Ellis went on to say. \"We believe Square will emerge from the crisis in a stronger competitive position, leveraging its strong balance sheet, differentiated product suite, innovative team and strong brand.\"</p>\n<p>Square has closed the acquisition of a majority stake in Jay Z's Tidalmusic streaming service for $297 million in cash and stock.</p>\n<p>With multiple products, SQ stock faces stiff competition in both consumer financial apps and the small business market. Analysts expect Square's rivalry with<b>PayPal Holdings</b>(PYPL) to heat up in 2021 as theyimprove digital wallets.</p>\n<p>Other rivals include<b>First Data</b>'s (FDC) Clover unit,<b>Shopify</b>(SHOP), merchant acquirers, and well-funded startup Stripe.</p>\n<p>SQ Stock: Doubling Down On Bitcoin</p>\n<p>Square stock disclosed a new $170 million investment in Bitcoin in early 2021 on top of its $50 million purchase in October. The company reports Bitcoin holdings as unrealized gains on investments, and will be excluded from adjusted earnings, analysts say.</p>\n<p>Square Chief Executive Jack Dorsey recently said the company is interested in developing aBitcoin hardware wallet.</p>\n<p>SQ stock had 40 million Cash App monthly active users as of June 30, up from 36 million at the end of 2020.</p>\n<p>Cash App users are able to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin. Square's adjusted revenue from Bitcoin are sales to app users, minus the cost of purchasing the digital currency.</p>\n<p>But Square's Bitcoin business has gross profit margins of only around 2%, analysts say.</p>\n<p>SQ Stock: Payments Ecosystem</p>\n<p>In its core business, Square aims to build a two-sided digital payments ecosystem, with products designed for both merchant sellers and consumer buyers. The Square Cash App helps individuals manage money.</p>\n<p>For merchants, Square makes credit-card readers that plug into mobile devices. Its Square Capital division provides loans to sellers. While Square retains only 10% of Square Capital loans on its balance sheet, there's still a risk of defaults.</p>\n<p>Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, analysts were divided on whether Square revenue growth would reaccelerate with margin improvement following a period of elevated investments.&nbsp;The Square Cash App, a peer-to-peer money-transfer service, competes with PayPal'sVenmo, Zelle and others.</p>\n<p>Amid the coronavirus emergency, Cash App emerged as a digital alternative to traditional banks. Consumers used the Cash App's direct-deposit feature to receive government stimulus payments, for example. But Cash App gross profit growth slowed over the summer, analysts say, as stimulus programs expired.</p>\n<p>Square is testing a short-term borrowing feature for Cash App users. Square offers loans of $20 to $200. Cash App users are expected to pay pack the loans in four weeks, with interest.</p>\n<p>Also, the Cash App provides a stock trading feature. Cash App offers a debit card through a deal with Marqeta.</p>\n<p>The bearish view is that Cash App's momentum proves transitory with low customer retention after the coronavirus pandemic eases.</p>\n<p>The Square Cash app, Square Capital and Instant Deposit all contribute to the company's&nbsp;subscription and services revenue. One key for Square is cross-selling more services to its existing pool of merchants, analysts say.</p>\n<p>To broaden its consumer platform, Square plans to buy Credit Karma's tax business for $50 million in cash. It's a free service for consumers.</p>\n<p>SQ Stock: Moving Upmarket To Bigger Sellers</p>\n<p>The payment processor has the same chief executive as<b>Twitter</b>(TWTR) in Dorsey. The CEO-sharing arrangement has seemingly worked out for Square stock.</p>\n<p>With roots in serving such micro-merchants as food trucks and farm-stand vendors, Square has moved \"upmarket,\" targeting larger businesses.</p>\n<p>SQ stock ranks among the top 10 fintech companies.&nbsp;Bigger fintech companies include<b>Visa</b>(V),<b>Mastercard</b>(MA), PayPal,<b>Fidelity National Information Services</b>(FIS),<b>Fiserv</b>(FISV) and<b>American Express</b>(AXP).</p>\n<p>In addition to selling credit-card readers, Square provides software for point-of-sale and back offices in order to manage inventory and other tasks.</p>\n<p>Square recently focused on software products that can be used across many industries, such as invoicing, payroll and marketing. It also aims to integrate its payment tools into e-commerce platforms.</p>\n<p>Instant Deposit Speeds Up Process</p>\n<p>The company's Square Instant Deposit allows merchants to immediately receive payments instead of waiting a few days for settlement.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Square Card is a business prepaid debit card issued in partnership with Sutton Bank to small business owners on the Square platform.</p>\n<p>Square on March 2 said its Utah-based industrial bank has launched services to small businesses. Called Square Financial Services, the bank will offer loans and deposit accounts.</p>\n<p>In trying to move upmarket, Square takes on Worldpay and<b>Global Payments</b>(GPN).</p>\n<p>Somefintech companies are merging, giving them greater scale vs. Square.</p>\n<p>The company recently sold Caviar, a food ordering and delivery service, to DoorDash for $410 million.</p>\n<p>One key question as competition heats up is the outlook for the gross payment volume — total volume of sales in dollars generated by merchant customers — also known as GPV. It's a key financial metric for rivals like PayPal as well.</p>\n<p>Square Stock Fundamental Analysis</p>\n<p>Square's Q2 earnings per share spiked 266% to 66 cents in the June quarter. Revenue surged 143% to $4.68 billion but missed estimates amid Bitcoin volatility. Excluding Bitcoin, revenue was $1.96 billion.</p>\n<p>Analysts expected Square earnings per share of 30 cents on sales of $5.03 billion.</p>\n<p>\"CashApp's year-over-year revenue growth (87%) decelerated from the prior quarter's 139%, reflecting tough comparisons, with likely further deceleration during the next few quarters,\" Wedbush analyst Moshe Katri said in a report.</p>\n<p>Gross payment volume, or GPV, from merchant customers rose 88% to $42.83 billion.</p>\n<p>Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, known as EBITDA, came in at $360 million, topping estimates of $179 million.</p>\n<p>SQ Stock Technical Analysis</p>\n<p>After its disappointing initial public offering in November 2015, Square stock meandered. In June 2016, SQ stock still traded just above its initial public offering price of 9.</p>\n<p>That soon changed. From July 1, 2016, through a high of 101.50 set last Oct. 1, Square stock exploded nearly 995%.&nbsp;Its big run led one analyst to call Square the nextFANG stock, joining the likes of<b>Facebook</b>(FB),<b>Amazon</b>(AMZN),<b>Netflix</b>(NFLX) and<b>Alphabet</b>'s (GOOGL) Google in stature.</p>\n<p>Following its big run, Square stock fell more than 50% in late 2018 as many technology companies also crashed. SQ stock clawed back in 2019.</p>\n<p>Square stock forged a proper entry point of 87.35 in early February, 2020 just before the coronavirus outbreak forced cities to shut down. Shares surged some 248% in 2020 as investors focused on the growth of its consumer Cash App.</p>\n<p>Not many stocks roar back after a 50% correction. It takes time for them to digest gains and set up for another extended surge into new highs. Many never deliver a repeat performance such as SQ stock.</p>\n<p>Even so, Square has wrestled with finding the right balance of revenue growth, investments and profitability.</p>\n<p>Is Square Stock A Buy Right Now?</p>\n<p>Square'sRelative Strength Ratingis 89 out of a best-possible 99, according toIBD Stock Checkup. The best stocks tend to have an 80 or better RS Rating.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;relative strength line, the blue line in the chart above, compares a stock's price performance with that of the S&amp;P 500. An upward-trending RS line tells you the stock is doing better than the general market.</p>\n<p>SQ stock, meanwhile, has an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of C-minus. The rating runs from a best-possible A+ to a worst-possible E. The rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. A falling Accumulation/Distribution Rating would be a sign that institutional buyers are exiting.</p>\n<p>Square stock rallied on the Afterpay acquisition. SQ stock cleared an alternative entry from a handle base.</p>\n<p>A 5% buy zone above a new 267.87 entry extends to 281.26. As of Aug. 3, SQ stock trades just below the new entry point, having pulled back a bit from the Afterpay acquisition rally.</p>","source":"lsy1610449120050","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>Is Square Stock A Buy?

It's still off  40% from its all-time high.\nSquare reported a $45 million impairment to operating income in the June quarter related to its Bitcoin investments.\nIn a tweet on July 15, Square Chief Executive Jack Dorsey said the company will create a new business line to help developers build financial services products focused on Bitcoin.\nSquare is \"building an open developer platform with the sole goal of making it easy to create non-custodial, permission-less, and decentralized financial services,\" Dorsey tweeted.\nSQ stock surged in 2020 as investors focused on the growth of its consumer Cash App. They shrugged off worries over Square stock exposure to small businesses and restaurants that might close because of the coronavirus pandemic.\n\"Square's business has been on a wild ride through the Covid-19 pandemic,\" MoffettNathanson analyst Lisa Ellis said in a recent note to clients. \"Mandatory business closures abruptly shuttered many of its core seller customers, triggering a dramatic drop in Square's business, followed by an equally dramatic rebound.\nSquare Stock: Investments Hiked In 2021\n\"At the same time, the pandemic has turbo-charged the growth of Square's wildly popular consumer Cash App business,\" Ellis went on to say. \"We believe Square will emerge from the crisis in a stronger competitive position, leveraging its strong balance sheet, differentiated product suite, innovative team and strong brand.\"\nSquare has closed the acquisition of a majority stake in Jay Z's Tidalmusic streaming service for $297 million in cash and stock.\nWith multiple products, SQ stock faces stiff competition in both consumer financial apps and the small business market. Analysts expect Square's rivalry withPayPal Holdings(PYPL) to heat up in 2021 as theyimprove digital wallets.\nOther rivals includeFirst Data's (FDC) Clover unit,Shopify(SHOP), merchant acquirers, and well-funded startup Stripe.\nSQ Stock: Doubling Down On Bitcoin\nSquare stock disclosed a new $170 million investment in Bitcoin in early 2021 on top of its $50 million purchase in October. The company reports Bitcoin holdings as unrealized gains on investments, and will be excluded from adjusted earnings, analysts say.\nSquare Chief Executive Jack Dorsey recently said the company is interested in developing aBitcoin hardware wallet.\nSQ stock had 40 million Cash App monthly active users as of June 30, up from 36 million at the end of 2020.\nCash App users are able to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin. Square's adjusted revenue from Bitcoin are sales to app users, minus the cost of purchasing the digital currency.\nBut Square's Bitcoin business has gross profit margins of only around 2%, analysts say.\nSQ Stock: Payments Ecosystem\nIn its core business, Square aims to build a two-sided digital payments ecosystem, with products designed for both merchant sellers and consumer buyers. The Square Cash App helps individuals manage money.\nFor merchants, Square makes credit-card readers that plug into mobile devices. Its Square Capital division provides loans to sellers. While Square retains only 10% of Square Capital loans on its balance sheet, there's still a risk of defaults.\nPrior to the Covid-19 outbreak, analysts were divided on whether Square revenue growth would reaccelerate with margin improvement following a period of elevated investments. The Square Cash App, a peer-to-peer money-transfer service, competes with PayPal'sVenmo, Zelle and others.\nAmid the coronavirus emergency, Cash App emerged as a digital alternative to traditional banks. Consumers used the Cash App's direct-deposit feature to receive government stimulus payments, for example. But Cash App gross profit growth slowed over the summer, analysts say, as stimulus programs expired.\nSquare is testing a short-term borrowing feature for Cash App users. Square offers loans of $20 to $200. Cash App users are expected to pay pack the loans in four weeks, with interest.\nAlso, the Cash App provides a stock trading feature. Cash App offers a debit card through a deal with Marqeta.\nThe bearish view is that Cash App's momentum proves transitory with low customer retention after the coronavirus pandemic eases.\nThe Square Cash app, Square Capital and Instant Deposit all contribute to the company's subscription and services revenue. One key for Square is cross-selling more services to its existing pool of merchants, analysts say.\nTo broaden its consumer platform, Square plans to buy Credit Karma's tax business for $50 million in cash. It's a free service for consumers.\nSQ Stock: Moving Upmarket To Bigger Sellers\nThe payment processor has the same chief executive asTwitter(TWTR) in Dorsey. The CEO-sharing arrangement has seemingly worked out for Square stock.\nWith roots in serving such micro-merchants as food trucks and farm-stand vendors, Square has moved \"upmarket,\" targeting larger businesses.\nSQ stock ranks among the top 10 fintech companies. Bigger fintech companies includeVisa(V),Mastercard(MA), PayPal,Fidelity National Information Services(FIS),Fiserv(FISV) andAmerican Express(AXP).\nIn addition to selling credit-card readers, Square provides software for point-of-sale and back offices in order to manage inventory and other tasks.\nSquare recently focused on software products that can be used across many industries, such as invoicing, payroll and marketing. It also aims to integrate its payment tools into e-commerce platforms.\nInstant Deposit Speeds Up Process\nThe company's Square Instant Deposit allows merchants to immediately receive payments instead of waiting a few days for settlement.\nMeanwhile, Square Card is a business prepaid debit card issued in partnership with Sutton Bank to small business owners on the Square platform.\nSquare on March 2 said its Utah-based industrial bank has launched services to small businesses. Called Square Financial Services, the bank will offer loans and deposit accounts.\nIn trying to move upmarket, Square takes on Worldpay andGlobal Payments(GPN).\nSomefintech companies are merging, giving them greater scale vs. Square.\nThe company recently sold Caviar, a food ordering and delivery service, to DoorDash for $410 million.\nOne key question as competition heats up is the outlook for the gross payment volume — total volume of sales in dollars generated by merchant customers — also known as GPV. It's a key financial metric for rivals like PayPal as well.\nSquare Stock Fundamental Analysis\nSquare's Q2 earnings per share spiked 266% to 66 cents in the June quarter. Revenue surged 143% to $4.68 billion but missed estimates amid Bitcoin volatility. Excluding Bitcoin, revenue was $1.96 billion.\nAnalysts expected Square earnings per share of 30 cents on sales of $5.03 billion.\n\"CashApp's year-over-year revenue growth (87%) decelerated from the prior quarter's 139%, reflecting tough comparisons, with likely further deceleration during the next few quarters,\" Wedbush analyst Moshe Katri said in a report.\nGross payment volume, or GPV, from merchant customers rose 88% to $42.83 billion.\nAdjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, known as EBITDA, came in at $360 million, topping estimates of $179 million.\nSQ Stock Technical Analysis\nAfter its disappointing initial public offering in November 2015, Square stock meandered. In June 2016, SQ stock still traded just above its initial public offering price of 9.\nThat soon changed. From July 1, 2016, through a high of 101.50 set last Oct. 1, Square stock exploded nearly 995%. Its big run led one analyst to call Square the nextFANG stock, joining the likes ofFacebook(FB),Amazon(AMZN),Netflix(NFLX) andAlphabet's (GOOGL) Google in stature.\nFollowing its big run, Square stock fell more than 50% in late 2018 as many technology companies also crashed. SQ stock clawed back in 2019.\nSquare stock forged a proper entry point of 87.35 in early February, 2020 just before the coronavirus outbreak forced cities to shut down. Shares surged some 248% in 2020 as investors focused on the growth of its consumer Cash App.\nNot many stocks roar back after a 50% correction. It takes time for them to digest gains and set up for another extended surge into new highs. Many never deliver a repeat performance such as SQ stock.\nEven so, Square has wrestled with finding the right balance of revenue growth, investments and profitability.\nIs Square Stock A Buy Right Now?\nSquare'sRelative Strength Ratingis 89 out of a best-possible 99, according toIBD Stock Checkup. The best stocks tend to have an 80 or better RS Rating.\nThe relative strength line, the blue line in the chart above, compares a stock's price performance with that of the S&P 500. An upward-trending RS line tells you the stock is doing better than the general market.\nSQ stock, meanwhile, has an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of C-minus. The rating runs from a best-possible A+ to a worst-possible E. The rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. A falling Accumulation/Distribution Rating would be a sign that institutional buyers are exiting.\nSquare stock rallied on the Afterpay acquisition. SQ stock cleared an alternative entry from a handle base.\nA 5% buy zone above a new 267.87 entry extends to 281.26. As of Aug. 3, SQ stock trades just below the new entry point, having pulled back a bit from the Afterpay acquisition rally.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9982051256,"gmtCreate":1667054806575,"gmtModify":1676537854754,"author":{"id":"4091101807150390","authorId":"4091101807150390","name":"daveboy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1aed30f8c652ff819cde0f8863774839","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4091101807150390","idStr":"4091101807150390"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Amazing","listText":"Amazing","text":"Amazing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9982051256","repostId":"2278507483","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2278507483","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1667005734,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2278507483?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-29 09:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in November","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2278507483","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The Oracle of Omaha's methodology is passing the test of time after all.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Warren Buffett&#39;s value-based approach to picking stocks somewhat fell out of favor back in mid-2020, when growth stocks led the market out of its pandemic-prompted pullback. The market environment is more than a little rocky this year, though, and Buffett&#39;s philosophy is proving itself once again. Whereas the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has been rather deep in the red over the past year of trading, <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> stock is basically breaking even.</p><p>Translation: Given enough time, the all-weather Warren Buffett way still works.</p><p>Let&#39;s take a look at three Berkshire holdings you may want to scoop up for yourself, and soon. They&#39;re mostly underperforming for now. But these stocks tend to be recession-resilient, and they could end up outperforming the broad market in the foreseeable future.</p><h2>1. Bank of America</h2><p>At first glance, there are some troubling indicators surrounding banks right now. Rising interest rates could crimp demand for loans, while a weakening economy dents borrowers&#39; ability to make loan payments. Such an environment also sours the stock market, undermining the banking industry&#39;s investment-related businesses.</p><p>But investors may be pricing in far more downside than is merited for banks at the same time they&#39;re overlooking the upsides of this situation. That&#39;s arguably what&#39;s happening with <b>Bank of America</b> shares anyway.</p><p>Yes, last quarter&#39;s results showed a sizable uptick in provisions for losses on loans that may be in the cards, and per-share earnings fell from $0.85 to only $0.81 per share. That&#39;s quite possibly the worst trouble the bank&#39;s facing though. Even the company&#39;s investment management operation more or less matched this year&#39;s second-quarter results as well as the year-ago Q3 results during the third quarter of this year despite the broader market&#39;s poor performance.</p><p>Indeed, things may even be looking up very soon for Buffett&#39;s beaten-down $133 billion Bank of America position, which accounts for more than a tenth of his total stock holdings.</p><p>Although Bank of America is likely to make far fewer loans within the next few months than it has during the past few months, the net profitability of those loans should be much greater than the bank&#39;s current loan portfolio. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Finance, CEO Brian Moynihan pointed out that continued increases in interest rates could add another billion dollars worth of profitability to the company&#39;s current bottom line. That would bolster net interest income that was already up 24% year over year last quarter.</p><p>It&#39;s a possibility, however, that&#39;s only recent begun to be reflected in the stock&#39;s rebound effort from a sell-off that dragged it 40% below February&#39;s peak price. Still down 20% year to date though, the bounce since October&#39;s low may be a sign that the market is finally starting to right-price this ticker headed into November.</p><h2>2. Coca-Cola</h2><p>The recession-related risk of losing a job may prompt some people to cancel a vacation or postpone the purchase of a new car. Economic weakness and burgeoning inflation, however, typically don&#39;t cause consumers to stop buying their favorite beverages.</p><p>Enter<b> Coca-Cola</b>, which is doing just fine at a time when most companies aren&#39;t. Last quarter&#39;s organic revenue was up 16% on a 4% increase in unit volume, meaning the beverage giant is successfully passing along its higher costs to its customers. The company also managed to gain market share in a very crowded drinks market. And, given all that its management knows right now, Coca-Cola is still looking for solid single-digit revenue and earnings growth for the upcoming year despite broad economic headwinds.</p><p>This loyalty makes sense. Coca-Cola is one of the world&#39;s most recognized and beloved brand names, and being in business for 136 years means it&#39;s had plenty of time to become a fixture of the global culture. Christmas ornaments, clothing, toys, and home decor are just some of non-beverage goods that regularly borrow the Coca-Cola logo and colors, reflecting the planet&#39;s affinity for the brand outside of beverages.</p><p>Of course, The Coca-Cola Company isn&#39;t just its namesake cola anymore. The company reaches plenty of non-soda drinkers as well; it also owns Dasani water, Gold Peak tea, and Minute Maid juices, just to name a few.</p><p>Perhaps the real upside to new investors, however, is the nuance that Buffett likes most about this particular Berkshire holding. That&#39;s the dividend -- and its reliable growth -- that keeps on coming even in lousy environments. The quarterly payout has not only been paid like clockwork for decades now, but the annual dividend payment has been upped every year for the past 60 years.  Thanks to the stock&#39;s relative weakness this year, you can step into this stock right now while its yield is an above-average 3%.</p><h2>3. American Express</h2><p>Finally, add <b>American Express</b> to your list of Buffett stocks to buy sooner than later, while you can still buy it 26% below February&#39;s peak.</p><p>On the surface, it&#39;s just another credit company. Dig deeper, though, and it&#39;s much more. Whereas competitors like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b> and <b>Mastercard</b> provide a payments processing platform for card issuers, American Express builds and operates its own robust charge-card ecosystem. The bulk of the company&#39;s personal and business charge cards impose an annual fee, but it&#39;s a fee its customers gladly pay in exchange for incredible perks. The Platinum Card, for instance, offers access to select airport lounges, while the Gold Card offers outright credits for <b>Uber Technology</b>&#39;s ride-hailing services.</p><p>And this ecosystem of benefits is no small matter.</p><p>The company earns interest income like any other lender and collects the usual transaction fees for facilitating the purchase of goods and services. But it also generates a great deal of service and card-fee income. Roughly 10% of last quarter&#39;s top line came from cardholders&#39; payments just for the privilege of holding an American Express charge card.</p><p>Of course, the economic turbulence could rattle consumers&#39; spending and prompt some to cancel credit cards that incur an annual fee. But that&#39;s not as likely as you might suspect.</p><p>Aside from the fact that American Express cardholders really, <i>really</i> love their rewards programs -- in August, J.D. Power ranked American Express highest for customer satisfaction for a third year in a row -- credit cards aren&#39;t just for splurging anymore. They&#39;re increasingly being used as an alternative to cash to buy everyday goods. In this vein, American Express has collected nearly $38.7 billion in net revenue through the first three quarters of this year, up 30% from where it was at this time of year in pre-pandemic 2019. Analysts are calling for top-line growth of 11% next year, too, despite the brewing economic headwind. That&#39;s more than many other companies will be able to produce.</p><p>You won&#39;t want to tarry if you agree with the bigger-picture bullish premise either. While the stock&#39;s deep in the red for the year, American Express and now both Mastercard and Visa all agreed in their most recent earnings reports that consumer spending is remaining surprisingly firm. The market hasn&#39;t been pricing these stocks accordingly, but may well do that beginning in November now that all three players are singing the same chorus.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in November</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in November\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-29 09:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/28/3-warren-buffett-stocks-to-buy-hand-over-fist-in-n/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett's value-based approach to picking stocks somewhat fell out of favor back in mid-2020, when growth stocks led the market out of its pandemic-prompted pullback.

He thinks the total could grow to the $7 billion-to-$10 billion-a-year range by fiscal 2023 or 2024, boosting growth in Apple’s services business as much as three percentage points.</p>\n<p>Sacconaghi notes that most of Apple’s ad business is centered on search ads in the App Store. He says growth drivers in the business include the June addition of search ads in China, higher ad loads, and the introduction of banner ads to the store in May. He also points out that Apple generates modest revenue today—likely under $500 million a year—from ads in the Apple News and Stocks apps.</p>\n<p>There are other opportunities—including Apple Maps and Apple TV. Sacconaghi estimates that Google generates about $4 billion in ad revenue a year from Maps, with a user base about four times the size, suggesting $1 billion a year in potential ad revenue. And he says that the streaming-device companyRoku (ROKU)provides “a helpful precedent” for how Apple can generate revenue from Apple TV hardware—where he sees another $1 billion-plus opportunity.</p>\n<p>The analyst adds that Apple could place ads on other properties—like Apple Fitness+ and Garage Band—but that the adoption of advertising in applications like Apple Mail, Apple TV+, or Apple’s home screens likely would “irk consumers and undermine Apple’s strongly avowed stance on privacy.”</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Sacconaghi says, Apple’s position on Identifier for Advertisers, or IDFA, offers the company some competitive advantages. “While we believe that Apple’s move to eliminate IDFA was done in the spirit of advancing consumer privacy, it may ultimately provide Apple with an advertising platform that is competitively advantaged vs. peers who don’t have access to Apple’s richer APIs,” he writes.</p>\n<p>The analyst notes thatAmazon.com‘s (AMZN) ad business was similar in size to Apple’s in 2017—and now has a run rate north of $25 billion and is a substantial part of the investment thesis on the stock. “Along similar lines, a large and growing advertising business could help Apple accelerate its overall Services growth rate, which would likely be viewed positively by investors,” he concludes.</p>\n<p>Apple shares were up 0.1%, at $145.72, in recent trading.
