@Mungerism:$COMFORTDELGRO CORPORATION LTD(C52.SI)$Comfort Delgro just went ex-dividend after recent earnings announcement. Looking forward, management is confident of improved performance as they have only just caught part of the re-opening benefits of UK, Australia and more importantly Singapore. This should translate to better & sustainable earnings going forward. Looking forward to more upward dividend revisions

Shares of Twitter climbed 22% to $52 at the close in New York. San Francisco-based Twitter said it received the letter and intends to close the deal at the agreed-upon price, without commenting specifically on how it will respond to Musk.</p><p>For Twitter, proceeding with Musk’s plan augurs a future under a mercurial billionaire who has spent months publicly criticizing its management, questioning its value and changing his mind. It also means that his contested claims -- that Twitter was lying about which percentage of users were bots, for instance -- are not likely to be scrutinized in a court of law.</p><p>Musk had been trying for months to end his contract to acquire Twitter, signed in April. The billionaire began showing signs of buyer’s remorse shortly after the deal was announced, alleging that Twitter had misled him about the size of its user base and the prevalence of automated accounts known as bots.</p><p>Musk formally quit the accord in July and Twitter sued him in Delaware Chancery Court to force him to go forward with the purchase. A trial had been scheduled to begin Oct. 17. The judge in Delaware on Tuesday asked both sides to come back to her with a proposal on how the case can now proceed. The options include having Twitter seek to dismiss the case or have her continue to retain jurisdiction until the deal closes, said a person familiar with the matter.</p><p>In the letter, Musk’s attorneys wrote that he and his supporters “intend to proceed to closing of the transaction contemplated by the April 25, 2022, merger agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.” The plan is also contingent on him lining up the necessary debt financing and the court issuing “an immediate stay of the action.” It’s a tough time for banks to sell debt. With yields at multiyear highs, banks led by Morgan Stanley could be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars of losses on the unsecured portion alone, should they attempt to unload it to investors.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aadc4f9bd2e0e6af2ac71bd1ffd6a978\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"804\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Musk’s Oct. 3 letter to Twitter’s attorneysSource: SEC</p><p>Musk later tweeted that “buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.” Musk has said he wants Twitter to be more like TikTok and WeChat, with many more highly engaged users.</p><p>In the run-up to the planned Delaware proceedings, lawyers for both sides have fired cannonades of subpoenas at each other aimed at teasing out testimony and evidence. Musk’s side needed to demonstrate that Twitter violated the terms of the deal. Twitter alleged that Musk used the bots issue as a pretext for backing out a deal he no longer found economically sound.</p><p>Musk’s legal team was getting the sense that the case was not going well, as Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick sided repeatedly with Twitter in pretrial rulings, according to one person familiar. Even with the late emergence of a Twitter whistleblower who alleged executives weren’t forthcoming on security and bot issues, there were concerns Musk’s side would not be able to prove a material adverse effect, the legal standard required to exit the contract.</p><p>Inside Twitter on Tuesday, many employees were sitting through 2023 planning presentations when the news first started to circulate, according to multiple sources. Presenters did not acknowledge the news, which staffers saw spreading on their own social network. Many employees have opposed the idea of working for Musk, who has been openly mocked and criticized on internal Slack channels since the deal was signed.</p><p>In an internal memo Tuesday to Twitter staff, viewed by Bloomberg News, General Counsel Sean Edgett thanked workers for their patience as the company works through the legal issues. “I will continue to keep you posted on significant updates,” he wrote. Trading of Twitter shares was halted after the news broke and didn’t resume until after the company confirmed receipt of Musk’s letter.</p><p>Twitter shareholders voted Sept. 13 to accept the buyout offer as Musk submitted it. The company said at the time that 98.6% of the votes cast were in favor of the deal. Musk, Twitter’s largest shareholder, didn’t vote at all, according to two people familiar with his decision.

Shares of Twitter climbed 22% to $52 at the close in New York. San Francisco-based Twitter said it received the letter and intends to close the deal at the agreed-upon price, without commenting specifically on how it will respond to Musk.For Twitter, proceeding with Musk’s plan augurs a future under a mercurial billionaire who has spent months publicly criticizing its management, questioning its value and changing his mind. It also means that his contested claims -- that Twitter was lying about which percentage of users were bots, for instance -- are not likely to be scrutinized in a court of law.Musk had been trying for months to end his contract to acquire Twitter, signed in April. The billionaire began showing signs of buyer’s remorse shortly after the deal was announced, alleging that Twitter had misled him about the size of its user base and the prevalence of automated accounts known as bots.Musk formally quit the accord in July and Twitter sued him in Delaware Chancery Court to force him to go forward with the purchase. A trial had been scheduled to begin Oct. 17. The judge in Delaware on Tuesday asked both sides to come back to her with a proposal on how the case can now proceed. The options include having Twitter seek to dismiss the case or have her continue to retain jurisdiction until the deal closes, said a person familiar with the matter.In the letter, Musk’s attorneys wrote that he and his supporters “intend to proceed to closing of the transaction contemplated by the April 25, 2022, merger agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.” The plan is also contingent on him lining up the necessary debt financing and the court issuing “an immediate stay of the action.” It’s a tough time for banks to sell debt. With yields at multiyear highs, banks led by Morgan Stanley could be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars of losses on the unsecured portion alone, should they attempt to unload it to investors.Musk’s Oct. 3 letter to Twitter’s attorneysSource: SECMusk later tweeted that “buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.” Musk has said he wants Twitter to be more like TikTok and WeChat, with many more highly engaged users.In the run-up to the planned Delaware proceedings, lawyers for both sides have fired cannonades of subpoenas at each other aimed at teasing out testimony and evidence. Musk’s side needed to demonstrate that Twitter violated the terms of the deal. Twitter alleged that Musk used the bots issue as a pretext for backing out a deal he no longer found economically sound.Musk’s legal team was getting the sense that the case was not going well, as Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick sided repeatedly with Twitter in pretrial rulings, according to one person familiar. Even with the late emergence of a Twitter whistleblower who alleged executives weren’t forthcoming on security and bot issues, there were concerns Musk’s side would not be able to prove a material adverse effect, the legal standard required to exit the contract.Inside Twitter on Tuesday, many employees were sitting through 2023 planning presentations when the news first started to circulate, according to multiple sources. Presenters did not acknowledge the news, which staffers saw spreading on their own social network. Many employees have opposed the idea of working for Musk, who has been openly mocked and criticized on internal Slack channels since the deal was signed.In an internal memo Tuesday to Twitter staff, viewed by Bloomberg News, General Counsel Sean Edgett thanked workers for their patience as the company works through the legal issues. “I will continue to keep you posted on significant updates,” he wrote. Trading of Twitter shares was halted after the news broke and didn’t resume until after the company confirmed receipt of Musk’s letter.Twitter shareholders voted Sept. 13 to accept the buyout offer as Musk submitted it. The company said at the time that 98.6% of the votes cast were in favor of the deal. Musk, Twitter’s largest shareholder, didn’t vote at all, according to two people familiar with his decision. Musk owned almost 10% of Twitter -- more than 73 million shares -- when he agreed to acquire the company.Musk was scheduled to answer questions about the deal in Austin, Texas, on Oct. 6-7, according to a court filing Tuesday. Twitter Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal was scheduled to sit down for his deposition Monday.The case is Twitter v.

The benchmark S&amp;P 500 produced its worst first-half return since 1970. Meanwhile, the growth-centric Nasdaq Composite plunged 34% on a peak-to-trough basis since hitting its all-time closing high in November. Everything from weak economic growth and historically high inflation to Russia&#39;s invasion of Ukraine further upsetting the global energy supply chain has contributed to this challenging year.</p><p>Yet, in spite of the stock market plunging throughout much of the year, billionaire investors have stood their ground. Billionaire money managers are well aware that every notable pullback in the market has proved to be a buying opportunity over the long run.</p><p>Based on recent 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it&#39;s become clear that billionaire fund managers have been buyers as the market plunges. Here&#39;s what seven prominent billionaires have been buying.</p><h3>1. Paul Singer: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal Holdings</a></h3><p>Billionaire activist investor Paul Singer of Elliott Investment Management has been a busy bee in 2022. Most notably, he&#39;s taken a roughly $2 billion stake in fintech stock PayPal Holdings (PYPL), which was disclosed by PayPal in its second-quarter earnings release.</p><p>What&#39;s interesting about this position is that Singer often invests in struggling companies. Although PayPal&#39;s share price has taken a big hit as pandemic-related valuations deflate, PayPal&#39;s operating performance shows a company that&#39;s clearly not hurting. Even with U.S. gross domestic product falling in back-to-back quarters, PayPal has maintained double-digit total payment volume growth on a constant-currency basis.</p><p>More importantly, user engagement hasn&#39;t slowed down. When 2020 came to a close, the average active account completed just shy of 41 transactions over the trailing year. As of June 30, 2022, this average active account hadcompleted nearly 49 transactions over the trailing 12 months.  With engagement trends headed in the right direction and digital payment growth still in its very early innings, I&#39;d be surprised if Singer&#39;s investment ultimately ended up in the red.</p><h3>2. Philippe Laffont: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UPST\">Upstart Holdings</a></h3><p>Philippe Laffont may not be a household name among billionaire money managers, but he successfully oversees Coatue Management, a hedge fund with almost $8.3 billion in assets under management. In the latest quarter, Laffont added almost $75 million in shares of cloud-based lending platform Upstart Holdings (UPST).</p><p>Upstart aims to completely turn the traditional loan-vetting process on its head. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to completely automate and approve about three-quarters of all loans processed. Not only is this saving the roughly six dozen financial institutions Upstart is partnered with time and money, but it&#39;s giving loan applicants who might otherwise be denied through the traditional vetting process an opportunity. Upstart-vetted loans have produced similar loan delinquency rates as traditional loans, despite a lower average credit score for Upstart-approved applicants.</p><p>The other lure for Upstart is its potential for expansion. Until last year, Upstart almost exclusively focused on personal loans. With the company now expanding into auto loans and small business loans, its addressable market has increased tenfold.</p><h3>3. Warren Buffett: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a></h3><p>The Oracle of Omaha, who&#39;s been CEO of Berkshire Hathaway since 1965, probably needs no introduction. Among the16 stocks Warren Buffett has purchased this year, none has raised more eyebrows than oil stock Occidental Petroleum. Berkshire has acquired nearly 188.4 million shares of Occidental this year, as of Aug. 8.</p><p>Why Occidental Petroleum? The best guess is that Buffett strongly believes crude oil and natural gas prices will remain elevated for years to come. This is a forecast that can certainly be supported by reduced capital investments in the wake of the pandemic, as well as Russia&#39;s aforementioned invasion of Ukraine. With no quick fixes to global supply woes, oil and natural gas could very easily support above-average spot prices for years.</p><p>But what makes Occidental such an odd Buffett stockis its balance sheet. The Oracle of Omaha normally buys stakes in businesses with strong brand names, exceptional leadership, and rock-solid balance sheets. Occidental is more highly levered than most integrated oil and gas companies. In other words, this is a riskier investment than we&#39;re used to seeing from Buffett.</p><h3>4. Steve Cohen: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRWD\">CrowdStrike Holdings</a></h3><p>Billionaire Steve Cohen, who&#39;s known just as much for owning baseball&#39;s New York Mets as he is for running Point72 Asset Management, has been an active buyer of cybersecurity stock CrowdStrike Holdings as the market plunges. Cohen&#39;s fund bought close to 820,000 shares of CrowdStrike during the second quarter.</p><p>Aside from the fact that cybersecurity solutions have evolved into a basic necessity service in any economic environment, what allows CrowdStrike to stand out is its AI-driven Falcon platform. Falcon oversees about 1 trillion events daily and has proved superior to the on-premises competition at identifying and responding to potential threats.</p><p>Although CrowdStrike has had no trouble growing its subscriber base over the years, what&#39;s far more impressive is how the company has been able to encourage existing clients to spend more. A little over five years ago, just 9% of the company&#39;s clients had purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions. As of the end of April 2022, 71% of existing clients had purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions. This is CrowdStrike&#39;s not-so-subtle key to superior operating margins and its amazing revenue retention rate.</p><h3>5. Jim Simons: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SHOP\">Shopify</a></h3><p>Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies has thousands upon thousands of positions. However, cloud-based e-commerce platform Shopify (SHOP 0.93%) became one of Renaissance&#39;s largest positions during the second quarter, with a greater than 14-million-share aggregate buy.</p><p>Despite shares coming under heavy selling pressure due to the company&#39;s nosebleed valuation and recent weakness in retail sales as a whole, Shopify looks like a giant in the making. Aided by the pandemic, the gross merchandise value transacted on Shopify&#39;s platforms (as of the June-ended quarter) has grown by an annual average of 50% over the past three years.  What&#39;s more, the company believes it has a $153 billion addressable market just with small businesses. This doesn&#39;t even factor in the inroads the company has made with larger companies.</p><p>Innovation should also be key for Shopify&#39;s long-term outlook. The introduction of Shop Pay, a buy now, pay later service designed to help merchants serve more customers, should benefit nicely during long-winded periods of economic expansion.</p><h3>6. Ray Dalio: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">CVS Health</a></h3><p>Bridgewater Associates&#39; billionaire money manager Ray Dalio has also been an active buyer. Dalio chose to pile into CVS Health (CVS -0.66%) as the market plunged. Bridgewater bought close to 1.94 million shares during the second quarter, which increased the fund&#39;s stake by 159% from the March-ended quarter.</p><p>The beauty of healthcare stocks is that they&#39;re defensive. People can&#39;t control when they get sick, which means there&#39;s always demand for prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services.</p><p>On a more company-specific basis, CVS Health has benefited from its vertical integration. Its acquisition of health insurer Aetna in 2018 lifted its organic growth rate, provided ample cost synergies, and gave more than 20 million insured Aetna members a reason to stay within the CVS Health network.</p><p>Additionally, CVS has been reaping the rewards of its HealthHUB health clinics. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers have demonstrated they&#39;re eager for quick solutions to minor illnesses and injuries, as well as supplemental care for chronic conditions. The roughly 1,500 HealthHUBs CVS operates are facilitating these interactions, which have the potential to boost customer loyalty and drive repeat visits.</p><h3>7. Jeff Yass: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a></h3><p>Last but not least, billionaire Jeff Yass of Susquehanna International has been buying FAANG stock Amazon as the market plunges. Susquehanna added close to 6.6 million shares of Amazon during the second quarter, which increased its stake to approximately 15.2 million shares.</p><p>Although Amazon is best known for its dominant online marketplace, which is estimated to bring in 40% of U.S. retail sales in 2022, per eMarketer, it&#39;s the company&#39;s considerably higher-margin ancillary operations that make it such an ideal buy.</p><p>For instance, Amazon&#39;s online marketplace has helped attract more than 200 million global Prime subscribers. With almost $35 billion in annual run-rate sales from subscription services, Amazon is able to divert plenty of capital to its fast-growing logistics network and other supercharged growth projects.</p><p>However, Amazon&#39;s future is undeniably linked to cloud infrastructure segment Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS brought in 31% of cloud spending during the second quarter, according to estimates from Canalys.  More importantly, AWS is responsible for generating the bulk of Amazon&#39;s operating cash flow despite accounting for just a sixth of the company&#39;s net sales. As AWS grows into a larger percentage of total sales, Amazon&#39;s cash flow can soar.</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>Billionaires Have Been Buying These 7 Stocks as the Market Plunges</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\">\nBillionaires Have Been Buying These 7 Stocks as the Market Plunges\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-01 23:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/01/billionaires-buying-7-stocks-as-the-market-plunges/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe broad-based S&P 500 produced its worst first-half return in 52 years.Rather than being chased to the sideline, billionaire investors have stood their ground and put their money to work....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/01/billionaires-buying-7-stocks-as-the-market-plunges/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"CRWD":"CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.","CVS":"西维斯健康","SHOP":"Shopify Inc","PYPL":"PayPal","AMZN":"亚马逊","OXY":"西方石油","UPST":"Upstart Holdings, Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/01/billionaires-buying-7-stocks-as-the-market-plunges/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1160870826","content_text":"KEY POINTSThe broad-based S&P 500 produced its worst first-half return in 52 years.Rather than being chased to the sideline, billionaire investors have stood their ground and put their money to work.These seven stocks have been the apple of select billionaires' eyes.Although you probably don't need the reminder, it's been a rough year on Wall Street.

In the latest quarter, Laffont added almost $75 million in shares of cloud-based lending platform Upstart Holdings (UPST).Upstart aims to completely turn the traditional loan-vetting process on its head. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to completely automate and approve about three-quarters of all loans processed. Not only is this saving the roughly six dozen financial institutions Upstart is partnered with time and money, but it's giving loan applicants who might otherwise be denied through the traditional vetting process an opportunity. Upstart-vetted loans have produced similar loan delinquency rates as traditional loans, despite a lower average credit score for Upstart-approved applicants.The other lure for Upstart is its potential for expansion. Until last year, Upstart almost exclusively focused on personal loans. With the company now expanding into auto loans and small business loans, its addressable market has increased tenfold.3. Warren Buffett: Occidental PetroleumThe Oracle of Omaha, who's been CEO of Berkshire Hathaway since 1965, probably needs no introduction. Among the16 stocks Warren Buffett has purchased this year, none has raised more eyebrows than oil stock Occidental Petroleum. Berkshire has acquired nearly 188.4 million shares of Occidental this year, as of Aug. 8.Why Occidental Petroleum? The best guess is that Buffett strongly believes crude oil and natural gas prices will remain elevated for years to come. This is a forecast that can certainly be supported by reduced capital investments in the wake of the pandemic, as well as Russia's aforementioned invasion of Ukraine. With no quick fixes to global supply woes, oil and natural gas could very easily support above-average spot prices for years.But what makes Occidental such an odd Buffett stockis its balance sheet. The Oracle of Omaha normally buys stakes in businesses with strong brand names, exceptional leadership, and rock-solid balance sheets. Occidental is more highly levered than most integrated oil and gas companies. In other words, this is a riskier investment than we're used to seeing from Buffett.4. Steve Cohen: CrowdStrike HoldingsBillionaire Steve Cohen, who's known just as much for owning baseball's New York Mets as he is for running Point72 Asset Management, has been an active buyer of cybersecurity stock CrowdStrike Holdings as the market plunges. Cohen's fund bought close to 820,000 shares of CrowdStrike during the second quarter.Aside from the fact that cybersecurity solutions have evolved into a basic necessity service in any economic environment, what allows CrowdStrike to stand out is its AI-driven Falcon platform. Falcon oversees about 1 trillion events daily and has proved superior to the on-premises competition at identifying and responding to potential threats.Although CrowdStrike has had no trouble growing its subscriber base over the years, what's far more impressive is how the company has been able to encourage existing clients to spend more. A little over five years ago, just 9% of the company's clients had purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions. As of the end of April 2022, 71% of existing clients had purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions. This is CrowdStrike's not-so-subtle key to superior operating margins and its amazing revenue retention rate.5. Jim Simons: ShopifyBillionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies has thousands upon thousands of positions. However, cloud-based e-commerce platform Shopify (SHOP 0.93%) became one of Renaissance's largest positions during the second quarter, with a greater than 14-million-share aggregate buy.Despite shares coming under heavy selling pressure due to the company's nosebleed valuation and recent weakness in retail sales as a whole, Shopify looks like a giant in the making. Aided by the pandemic, the gross merchandise value transacted on Shopify's platforms (as of the June-ended quarter) has grown by an annual average of 50% over the past three years.  What's more, the company believes it has a $153 billion addressable market just with small businesses. This doesn't even factor in the inroads the company has made with larger companies.Innovation should also be key for Shopify's long-term outlook. The introduction of Shop Pay, a buy now, pay later service designed to help merchants serve more customers, should benefit nicely during long-winded periods of economic expansion.6. Ray Dalio: CVS HealthBridgewater Associates' billionaire money manager Ray Dalio has also been an active buyer. Dalio chose to pile into CVS Health (CVS -0.66%) as the market plunged. Bridgewater bought close to 1.94 million shares during the second quarter, which increased the fund's stake by 159% from the March-ended quarter.The beauty of healthcare stocks is that they're defensive. People can't control when they get sick, which means there's always demand for prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services.On a more company-specific basis, CVS Health has benefited from its vertical integration. Its acquisition of health insurer Aetna in 2018 lifted its organic growth rate, provided ample cost synergies, and gave more than 20 million insured Aetna members a reason to stay within the CVS Health network.Additionally, CVS has been reaping the rewards of its HealthHUB health clinics. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers have demonstrated they're eager for quick solutions to minor illnesses and injuries, as well as supplemental care for chronic conditions. The roughly 1,500 HealthHUBs CVS operates are facilitating these interactions, which have the potential to boost customer loyalty and drive repeat visits.7. Jeff Yass: AmazonLast but not least, billionaire Jeff Yass of Susquehanna International has been buying FAANG stock Amazon as the market plunges. Susquehanna added close to 6.6 million shares of Amazon during the second quarter, which increased its stake to approximately 15.2 million shares.Although Amazon is best known for its dominant online marketplace, which is estimated to bring in 40% of U.S. retail sales in 2022, per eMarketer, it's the company's considerably higher-margin ancillary operations that make it such an ideal buy.For instance, Amazon's online marketplace has helped attract more than 200 million global Prime subscribers. With almost $35 billion in annual run-rate sales from subscription services, Amazon is able to divert plenty of capital to its fast-growing logistics network and other supercharged growth projects.However, Amazon's future is undeniably linked to cloud infrastructure segment Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS brought in 31% of cloud spending during the second quarter, according to estimates from Canalys.  More importantly, AWS is responsible for generating the bulk of Amazon's operating cash flow despite accounting for just a sixth of the company's net sales. As AWS grows into a larger percentage of total sales, Amazon's cash flow can soar.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":718,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9997712126,"gmtCreate":1661854650067,"gmtModify":1676536591122,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Amazing news.

Musk has gone so far as to say that it will eventually be the best-selling vehicle across the globe, and it's already making notable strides.With two factories making Model Y crossovers in the US for the local market, as well as a factory in China producing the electric crossover for local and global consumption, Tesla is already proving that it can begin to chip away at the high demand by reducing Model Y delivery times. Now, focusing on the European market seems paramount.The new 2,000-Model-Y-per-week goal was reported by Teslarati based on details from the German publication TeslaMag.de. The article cites reports suggesting that Tesla aims to achieve the goal sometime in September 2022.If the EV maker can pull it off, it will have doubled its production capacity in just a few months. Adding another 1,000 EVs produced per week in another month or so doesn't seem impossible, but we'll have to wait and see how the ramp-up to 2,000 progresses before we speculate about when Tesla might actually hit 3,000.It's important to note that even though Tesla just recently opened Giga Berlin, it has already carried out some upgrades to speed up production. The same has been true of Giga Shanghai and Giga Texas.Tesla continues to prove that it can increase its production speed at factories across the globe and that the upgrades are actually making a notable impact. This helps to make it more clear that those same strategies and upgrades may have a similar impact at each of Tesla's factories.Looking further out, Tesla executive Drew Baglino noted during the company's Q2 2022 earning conference call that Giga Berlin could reach a run rate of as many as 5,000 Model Y SUVs per week by the end of 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":773,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9995658232,"gmtCreate":1661469989328,"gmtModify":1676536523290,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No.... let it drop.

On the heels of a 75 basis point hike, the largest increase since 1994, Powell suggested that another 75-point hike is possible as soon as July. Banks tend to benefit from higher interest rates, and yet Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) looks like it’s trading at a discount at the moment. <i>If you are looking to bring more balance to a pessimistic portfolio, and you can stomach the risk that a recession will force the Fed to lower rates, Bank of America might offer upside potential at a good price as a hedge to an otherwise defensive strategy.</i></p><h2><b>Bank Stocks Are Cheap</b></h2><p>Given that banks benefit from higher interest rates, something Powell has suggested is on the horizon and something that seems necessary to combat the current high inflation we are experiencing in the US, it would seem to follow that bank stocks could be headed into a favorable environment. According to an Andrew Bloomenthal article on Investopedia, higher interest rates mean “. . . banks can earn more from the spread between what they pay (to savers for savings accounts and certificates of deposit) and what they can earn (from highly-rated debt like Treasuries).” If rates are set to go higher in the near future, as Powell is guiding, banks could be especially well-positioned to benefit. Despite this, bank stocks have been beaten up recently.</p><p>Bank stocks, as a group, have relatively low P/E GAAP ratios at current. Below is a chart that tracks this metric for five major US banks over the last five years. Among this group, Bank of America’s P/E GAAP reading is the second-lowest, and near JPMorgan’s (JPM) slightly lower number over the same timeframe.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/7/3/saupload_o37O7bQhx6SZoFF32JDVPE7Rw1DoisMIf2QnqbTF8iIz1Jys5-4y9SbLWWOJrGx5Vb0KyUKtPihf1F0RD6ScyoAhB8sqal89HZLARbm5OFe8ysDdEp0c7TKxbS4hA1g11QhTa_Gjyj7tjyRqTg_thumb1.png\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"443\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Banks Comparison, P/E GAAP (Seeking Alpha)</p><p></p><p>Recently, Bank of America has also demonstrated a superior ability to convert higher interest rates to earnings per share.

Given Bank of America’s market cap of 254 billion, the fact that the last three months (for which there isn’t much information about institutional buying and selling yet available) resulted in steep declines for BAC’s stock price, and the fact that around 70% of Bank of America shares are held by institutional investors, it seems likely that larger investors dumped a lot of Bank of America stock in the current quarter. Some might view this as a bearish sign, but I think it might be bullish. If the large, skittish investors have already moved out of their BAC position, we’re likely closer to levels of support. Recent 13F filings suggest that Warren Buffett, who owns about 11.5% of outstanding Bank of America shares, hasn’t been selling.</p><p>I believe some investors have sold bank stocks because they don’t think the Fed will be able to raise rates much before they have to cut again. We already had a negative GDP reading for the first quarter of 2022, and the Atlanta Fed GDPNow forecasting tool recently dropped below zero, suggesting we’re in line for a negative GDP reading in the second quarter as well. The Federal Reserve has a long history of cutting rates during recessions. If we are already in a recession at the onset of the current rate hike cycle, it could be hard for the Fed to continue raising rates.</p><h2><b>Risks</b></h2><p>The most obvious risk to this trade idea is that the Fed may have to slash rates to zero again sooner than would be ideal for the banks. For what it’s worth, I think this is the most likely outcome. I’ll explain why I still like this trade in the conclusion section below. The Andrew Bloomenthal passage I quoted earlier in this article reminded us that when rates are high, “. . . banks can earn more from the spread between what they pay (to savers for savings accounts and certificates of deposit) and what they can earn (from highly-rated debt like Treasuries).” Falling rates would undermine this advantage for the banks. It’s also worth thinking about the second half of Bloomenthal’s quote, and whether or not US Treasuries will continue to be considered &#34;highly-rated.&#34; If the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency begins to be questioned as we battle high inflation, Treasuries might be considered increasingly risky.</p><p>There is also something meaningfully different about the current rate rise cycle we find ourselves in: the Fed may have to fight high inflation at the continued cost of increasing unemployment. Jerome Powell has already forwarded this possibility. Rising unemployment and high inflation equate to fewer dollars that people can park at their bank. And even though interest rates could be higher in the future, it’s possible that fewer deposits would limit banks’ ability to capitalize on those higher rates. Note that after a big spike in 2020, the personal savings rate has started to inch lower.</p><h2><b>Conclusion</b></h2><p>Okay, so if I believe the Fed could slash rates soon, and I’m worried about the impact that possible high inflation and rising unemployment might have on the banking sector over the coming years, why am I recommending Bank of America? It partly comes down to cost. Bank of America has fallen roughly 12% <i>more</i> than the S&amp;P 500 over the last six months.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/7/3/saupload_73GNy7aiaxOx8Cd9mkglAfhRVwDP-Yp5pWwR5XwF6Y8QAraDtt-tM_h5rblUWavv9xijwRnhnk_WMsBxSn5ZEdPUozZHxgpEvHC5joOTwva3wu0S4ohhjNT-o6--6QKXBU2Qh33E1mcHGEPVTm8_thumb1.png\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"443\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Stock change as a percent, BAC vs S&amp;P 500 (Seeking Alpha)</p><p>Although it isn’t what I think is most likely, I have to acknowledge that there is some possibility the Fed keeps raising rates through a period of rising unemployment to fight persistently high inflation, as they are suggesting they will do.

On the heels of a 75 basis point hike, the largest increase since 1994, Powell suggested that another 75-point hike is possible as soon as July. Banks tend to benefit from higher interest rates, and yet Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) looks like it’s trading at a discount at the moment. If you are looking to bring more balance to a pessimistic portfolio, and you can stomach the risk that a recession will force the Fed to lower rates, Bank of America might offer upside potential at a good price as a hedge to an otherwise defensive strategy.Bank Stocks Are CheapGiven that banks benefit from higher interest rates, something Powell has suggested is on the horizon and something that seems necessary to combat the current high inflation we are experiencing in the US, it would seem to follow that bank stocks could be headed into a favorable environment. According to an Andrew Bloomenthal article on Investopedia, higher interest rates mean “. . . banks can earn more from the spread between what they pay (to savers for savings accounts and certificates of deposit) and what they can earn (from highly-rated debt like Treasuries).” If rates are set to go higher in the near future, as Powell is guiding, banks could be especially well-positioned to benefit. Despite this, bank stocks have been beaten up recently.Bank stocks, as a group, have relatively low P/E GAAP ratios at current. Below is a chart that tracks this metric for five major US banks over the last five years. Among this group, Bank of America’s P/E GAAP reading is the second-lowest, and near JPMorgan’s (JPM) slightly lower number over the same timeframe.Banks Comparison, P/E GAAP (Seeking Alpha)Recently, Bank of America has also demonstrated a superior ability to convert higher interest rates to earnings per share. The graph below shows the change in diluted EPS for Bank of America, JPMorgan, Bank of NY Mellon (BK), U.S. Bancorp (USB), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Truist Financial Corporation (TFC) from the start of 2018 to April 2019. The federal funds rate climbed steadily higher from 1.41 to 2.42 in that span of time. Bank of America expanded diluted EPS at a clip that was about 25% more than the next best performing bank in this group.Diluted EPS, Comparison of Banks (Seeking Alpha)At the same time that Bank of America was growing their EPS numbers, something they and many of their peers achieved, in part, through significant stock buybacks, they were also expanding their net income and net profit margins at an impressive rate. The charts below compare the percent change in net income and net profit margins for the same six banks in the chart above during the same 17 months from the start of 2018. Bank of America was the best of the bunch by a sizable margin in both measures.Net Income Margin Comparison, Banks (Seeking Alpha)Net Income Comparison, Banks (Seeking Alpha)Bank of America’s current 1.06 price-to-book ratio is near the bottom of this peer group as well.

And NIO stock is up 44% from its recent low, made 10 days ago.Much of investors’ enthusiasm for NIO stock likely comes from the easing of Chinese Covid-19 restrictions and supply chain issues, as well as news this week that China will be taking steps to boost its manufacturing industry.However, clear minds should prevail here, as demand issues could hamper any upside in NIO stock.Demand Issues Are SurfacingShares of Chinese EV makers, including NIO stock, rallied this week, on news that China’s Ministry of Industry and InformationTechnology reportedly plans to implement“extraordinary growth policies”to support the country’s manufacturing industry.Much of the downfall in Chinese EV stocks over the past year has been due to supply-chain concerns. However, the economy has shifted lately, and the auto sector is stuck with demand-side issues.Providing substance to my claim is a recent statement by OL USA Chief Executive Officer Alan Baer: “Some industries are forecasting purchase order reductions of 20 to 30 percent, while others see no interruptions in their order flow. Overall, the risk appears to be to the downside. The decrease appears tied to economic uncertainty and not the migration of operations out of China.”It’s easy to see why certain companies would aim to reduce inventory, and I base my claim on economic policies, as well as the interlinkages within our global economy. To elaborate, I’d like to use the U.S. Treasury yield curve as a reference point. The curve suggests that interest rates will rise for the next two years, subsequently eroding the spending power of the everyday consumer for the foreseeable future.Source: GurufocusNio’s Q1 Loss WidensNio delivered better-than-expected revenue and earnings when it announced first-quarter results earlier this month. However, while revenue was up 24% year over year to $1.56 billion, the loss of$281.2 million was much steeper than the year-ago loss of $68.8 million.Nio’s deliveries were hit by coronavirus-related shutdowns in China, with the company delivering just 5,074 EVs in April and 7,024 in May.Nio’s outlook also disappointed the Street. Management said it anticipates second-quarter revenue between $1.47 billion and $1.59 billion. Analysts had been calling for $1.74 billion.Lastly, NIO’s gross margins are a continuing concern, as they retreated to 14.6% in Q1 from 19.5% the year before.The Bottom Line on NIO StockBased on various data points, I see a company that doesn’t exhibit a pathway to economies of scale, leaving it with a mountain to climb during this challenging economic period.In addition, NIO’sreturn on invested capital (ROIC) of -29.47% implies that it’s struggling to obtain further market share without underpricing its vehicles in the marketplace.The latest surge in NIO stock probably isn’t warranted. Shares are severely overvalued, trading at nearly 6 times sales and more than 120 times cash flow.NIO stock is a strong sell.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":569,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041013071,"gmtCreate":1655978516093,"gmtModify":1676535744186,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"When is recession?","listText":"When is recession?","text":"When is recession?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041013071","repostId":"1114915330","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":518,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9043321936,"gmtCreate":1655875905025,"gmtModify":1676535723804,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking up in the sky.","listText":"Looking up in the sky.","text":"Looking up in the sky.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9043321936","repostId":"1133497983","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133497983","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1655869816,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133497983?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-22 11:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NIO: Results Are In, And Maybe So Is The Bottom","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133497983","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryNIO announced Q1 results and underwhelmed investors.Under the surface, many catalysts are in ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>NIO announced Q1 results and underwhelmed investors.</li><li>Under the surface, many catalysts are in play for NIO, and this is why shares have rallied strongly in the last month.</li><li>The bottom might be in, and NIO could appreciate over 300% in the coming months.</li></ul><p><b>Thesis Summary</b></p><p>NIO Inc.

The gross margin now sits at 14.8%, while it was 19.5% this time last year.</p><p>Investors are rightly asking themselves how a company like NIO will return value to them in the future. NIO is in a very competitive market and is also fighting supply disruptions, along with higher input costs brought about by inflation.</p><p>However, if we focus on what NIO can control, we see strong initiatives coming from the company to improve profitability, improve their product offerings, and keep growing at a fast rate.</p><p><b>Numerous Catalysts</b></p><p>NIO is doing everything it can to solve the problems it faces today. But complex problems require complex solutions, and it will take time for NIO to turn things around.</p><p>One such initiative is NIO announcing plans to develop its own battery pack in 2024. The company will produce an 800-volt pack and use a combination of in-home and outsourced batteries for its production needs.</p><p>This follows a prior announcement that NIO was investing $32.8 million to develop a lithium-ion battery lab in Shanghai. This is a great move on NIO&#39;s part, as lithium lies at the heart of battery technology and is becoming an expensive and scarce resource. EV makers that can find a way to optimize the use of lithium will have a great advantage over competitors moving forward.</p><p>Also, NIO’s founder William Li announced recently that the company would be launching a development (R&amp;D) center for autonomous driving and artificial intelligence in Singapore, where NIO shares were recently listed.</p><p>On top of that, it’s worth mentioning that NIO is building another factory in Lu&#39;an city, which will be completed in the first half of 2023. This park will make aluminum die-casting products, which will not only improve NIO’s margins but also help reduce emissions by 50%.</p><p>On the profitability front, NIO is doing its best to keep costs down by investing in better technology and increasing its production capacity, which will provide them with economies of scale.</p><p>On the more imminent growth part of the equation, we also have two recent catalysts that will help NIO maintain high levels of growth.</p><p>Firstly, the company has announced the launch of the ES7, a mid-large-sized SUV. What’s most notable about this launch is that it will be the first NIO vehicle to operate on the new NT 2.0 technology platform, which features level 4 autonomous driving. The ES7 could be a game-changer for NIO, and it should help boost sales starting in September.</p><p>Furthermore, NIO will also be getting help from the Chinese government. As one of the many measures introduced by the CCP to promote consumption after the pandemic, China will be increasing the quota for passenger cars. In China, the ownership of cars is limited, but this limit will be increased this year, which will be a catalyst for car manufacturers as a whole.</p><p>To this, we can add the fact that China will probably be expanding EV subsidies until next year.</p><p>In conclusion, we have numerous catalysts in play now that were not present a month ago, which is changing investor sentiment.</p><p><b>Early Signs of A Bottom</b></p><p>The events of the last month have propelled NIO shares higher since we reached a bottom at around $14. Investor sentiment looks to have shifted, COVID lockdowns in China are ending, the government is moving to increase consumption, and both NIO and the market as a whole have come down to much more attractive valuations.</p><p>We are beginning to see signs of a bottom, and this is also evident if we look at NIO’s price chart:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e8016b3ec78347b3f5c43727e90b0c7\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"653\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>NIO Technical Analysis(Author&#39;s work)</p><p>As we can see from the chart above, NIO has now escaped the downtrend channel it has been in since November of last year. On top of that, we have seen very impulsive moves, with NIO rallying over 10% on numerous days. From an Elliott Wave perspective, we could point out 5 waves up, forming a diagonal.</p><p>Lastly, the RSI and MACD are also giving us bullish indications. On the 1D chart, the RSI has established a clear uptrend, but it is still far from overbought. The MACD has avoided a bullish crossover and gained momentum, which is also encouraging.</p><p>All in all, we are seeing early signs of a bottom. The sentiment is changing, which is backed up by the technical picture.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>EVs are essentially computers on wheels. That’s why comparisons and valuations with “traditional” auto manufacturers are inappropriate. EV makers are like tech companies, collecting data with every ride, and the value of this data is hard to calculate (though we know it is significant).</p><p>With that said, NIO currently trades at a P/S of 4, and this seems pretty low considering future growth prospects:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b56774ecb609017deaffbfadf74ebf48\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"174\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>NIO Revenue Forecasts(Seeking Alpha)</p><p>By 2025 NIO could achieve between $23-$35 billion in revenue, implying a fwd P/S of 0.89. NIO’s average P/S since its inception has been close to 11, and Tesla currently trades at a P/S close to 8. NIO’s P/S should be closer to this in the long run, and even using a conservative figure of 6, NIO shares could easily double from here.</p><p>On top of that, investing in NIO at these prices comes with a considerable safety net. NIO has about 5$/share and is trading at only four times that. This is a company that is growing fast and is nowhere near bankruptcy. Realistically, the shares can’t go down much below recent lows.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>Investing in NIO doesn’t come without risks. Chinese stocks are in a delicate situation right now, given geopolitical tensions and delisting fears, which I addressed in my last article.</p><p>As mentioned above, NIO favors a challenging macro environment and a competitive landscape, but I see evidence that the company can turn this around.</p><p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p>NIO Inc is one of the leading EV manufacturers in China, quickly becoming a global company. While recent results could be interpreted as weak, the company is making the right moves to improve profitability and keep growing. Furthermore, investors should remember that EVs are more than just cars, and the value of the data and technology in them is hard to calculate at this point; this is why Tesla and NIO command much higher valuation multiples.</p><p>While it is still early days, I believe the most likely scenario now is that the bottom is in.</p></body></html>","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>NIO: Results Are In, And Maybe So Is The Bottom</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\">\nNIO: Results Are In, And Maybe So Is The Bottom\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-22 11:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4519556-nio-results-are-in-and-so-is-the-bottom?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A9><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNIO announced Q1 results and underwhelmed investors.Under the surface, many catalysts are in play for NIO, and this is why shares have rallied strongly in the last month.The bottom might be in,...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4519556-nio-results-are-in-and-so-is-the-bottom?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A9\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO.SI":"蔚来","NIO":"蔚来","09866":"蔚来-SW"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4519556-nio-results-are-in-and-so-is-the-bottom?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A9","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1133497983","content_text":"SummaryNIO announced Q1 results and underwhelmed investors.Under the surface, many catalysts are in play for NIO, and this is why shares have rallied strongly in the last month.The bottom might be in, and NIO could appreciate over 300% in the coming months.Thesis SummaryNIO Inc.

The company will produce an 800-volt pack and use a combination of in-home and outsourced batteries for its production needs.This follows a prior announcement that NIO was investing $32.8 million to develop a lithium-ion battery lab in Shanghai. This is a great move on NIO's part, as lithium lies at the heart of battery technology and is becoming an expensive and scarce resource. EV makers that can find a way to optimize the use of lithium will have a great advantage over competitors moving forward.Also, NIO’s founder William Li announced recently that the company would be launching a development (R&D) center for autonomous driving and artificial intelligence in Singapore, where NIO shares were recently listed.On top of that, it’s worth mentioning that NIO is building another factory in Lu'an city, which will be completed in the first half of 2023. This park will make aluminum die-casting products, which will not only improve NIO’s margins but also help reduce emissions by 50%.On the profitability front, NIO is doing its best to keep costs down by investing in better technology and increasing its production capacity, which will provide them with economies of scale.On the more imminent growth part of the equation, we also have two recent catalysts that will help NIO maintain high levels of growth.Firstly, the company has announced the launch of the ES7, a mid-large-sized SUV. What’s most notable about this launch is that it will be the first NIO vehicle to operate on the new NT 2.0 technology platform, which features level 4 autonomous driving. The ES7 could be a game-changer for NIO, and it should help boost sales starting in September.Furthermore, NIO will also be getting help from the Chinese government. As one of the many measures introduced by the CCP to promote consumption after the pandemic, China will be increasing the quota for passenger cars. In China, the ownership of cars is limited, but this limit will be increased this year, which will be a catalyst for car manufacturers as a whole.To this, we can add the fact that China will probably be expanding EV subsidies until next year.In conclusion, we have numerous catalysts in play now that were not present a month ago, which is changing investor sentiment.Early Signs of A BottomThe events of the last month have propelled NIO shares higher since we reached a bottom at around $14. Investor sentiment looks to have shifted, COVID lockdowns in China are ending, the government is moving to increase consumption, and both NIO and the market as a whole have come down to much more attractive valuations.We are beginning to see signs of a bottom, and this is also evident if we look at NIO’s price chart:NIO Technical Analysis(Author's work)As we can see from the chart above, NIO has now escaped the downtrend channel it has been in since November of last year. On top of that, we have seen very impulsive moves, with NIO rallying over 10% on numerous days. From an Elliott Wave perspective, we could point out 5 waves up, forming a diagonal.Lastly, the RSI and MACD are also giving us bullish indications. On the 1D chart, the RSI has established a clear uptrend, but it is still far from overbought. The MACD has avoided a bullish crossover and gained momentum, which is also encouraging.All in all, we are seeing early signs of a bottom. The sentiment is changing, which is backed up by the technical picture.ValuationEVs are essentially computers on wheels. That’s why comparisons and valuations with “traditional” auto manufacturers are inappropriate. EV makers are like tech companies, collecting data with every ride, and the value of this data is hard to calculate (though we know it is significant).With that said, NIO currently trades at a P/S of 4, and this seems pretty low considering future growth prospects:NIO Revenue Forecasts(Seeking Alpha)By 2025 NIO could achieve between $23-$35 billion in revenue, implying a fwd P/S of 0.89. NIO’s average P/S since its inception has been close to 11, and Tesla currently trades at a P/S close to 8. NIO’s P/S should be closer to this in the long run, and even using a conservative figure of 6, NIO shares could easily double from here.On top of that, investing in NIO at these prices comes with a considerable safety net. NIO has about 5$/share and is trading at only four times that. This is a company that is growing fast and is nowhere near bankruptcy. Realistically, the shares can’t go down much below recent lows.RisksInvesting in NIO doesn’t come without risks. Chinese stocks are in a delicate situation right now, given geopolitical tensions and delisting fears, which I addressed in my last article.As mentioned above, NIO favors a challenging macro environment and a competitive landscape, but I see evidence that the company can turn this around.Final ThoughtsNIO Inc is one of the leading EV manufacturers in China, quickly becoming a global company. While recent results could be interpreted as weak, the company is making the right moves to improve profitability and keep growing. Furthermore, investors should remember that EVs are more than just cars, and the value of the data and technology in them is hard to calculate at this point; this is why Tesla and NIO command much higher valuation multiples.While it is still early days, I believe the most likely scenario now is that the bottom is in.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":589,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9057918526,"gmtCreate":1655448539065,"gmtModify":1676535642047,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go or No go?","listText":"Go or No go?","text":"Go or No go?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9057918526","repostId":"1118682898","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":527,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9028616276,"gmtCreate":1653212863495,"gmtModify":1676535241069,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Finally some positive news&nbsp;","listText":"Finally some positive news&nbsp;","text":"Finally some positive news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9028616276","repostId":"2237804740","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2237804740","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1653186784,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2237804740?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-22 10:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Upgrading Grab To Buy After Solid Quarter, But Shares Remain Very Risky","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2237804740","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryFor Grab, the most recent financial quarter was a mostly positive one, and shares reacted by ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>For Grab, the most recent financial quarter was a mostly positive one, and shares reacted by going up in price.</li><li>There are signs that high growth is returning and that some steps toward becoming profitable are being taken.</li><li>The company is being more prudent with the use of incentives, and EBITDA margins are moving in the right direction.</li><li>The delivery segment showed impressive growth, and the finance segment is proving to be one of the most promising businesses for the company.</li><li>That said, the company is still burning significant amounts of cash, and it will have to further improve margins and profitability if it wants to remain a going concern.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf4369272cc8b01316e1557985846203\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>whitebalance.oatt/E+ via Getty Images</span></p><p><i>This article was written by WideAlpha.</i></p><p>Grab (NASDAQ:GRAB) reported a very solid first quarter of 2022, with GMV up 32%.

Its EV/revenues multiple reached a high of more than 40x, but has since gone down to ~9x, and the forward EV/revenues stands at only ~5x. This tells us that investors are being a lot more realistic, and balancing the growth of the company with the profitability challenges, to come up with a valuation that leaves more room for error. Still, we would like to remind everyone that even if the risk/reward is a lot more attractive now that the company is seeing profitability improvements and that the valuation is a lot more reasonable, that this is still a company that could go bankrupt if it does not turn profitable in the next few quarters. We estimate the runway it has to become profitable at around eight quarters, but it could be more or less depending on how operating cash flow trends from here. There&#39;s also the possibility that the company will try to do another capital raise to extend its runway if it gets too close to running out of cash.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bef0947c2c077a4dc099088530669bd1\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Outlook for 2022</b></p><p>For fiscal year 2022, Grab is guiding for revenue between $1.2B and $1.3B, and GMV growth of between 30% and 35%.

Overall, we rate shares a \"buy\" given the positive risk/reward, but pointing out that risk is significant and that an investment in the company can easily result in total loss.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":388,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9021609016,"gmtCreate":1653037745636,"gmtModify":1676535212579,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This Baba is getting old and looking to retire soon&nbsp;","listText":"This Baba is getting old and looking to retire soon&nbsp;","text":"This Baba is getting old and looking to retire soon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9021609016","repostId":"2236705977","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":408,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067181533,"gmtCreate":1652422579622,"gmtModify":1676535098195,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The high have to come down.

While the company’s Saudi investors have already said they would vote against the takeover, it appears unlikely that enough investors will join them to block the deal, which provides a 38% premium to where Twitter was trading before Musk started buying shares.</p><p>Which leaves only regulatory bodies. Musk is still fighting with the Securities and Exchange Commission over market-moving statements he made in 2018 over Twitter, and has regularly tweeted vitriolic statements at the regulator. However, the SEC “will not and cannot interfere with the merger,” according to Stephen Diamond, associate professor at Santa Clara University School of Law.</p><p>“Their only role would be to police the disclosure sent to shareholders by the board and Musk for accuracy and completeness,” Diamond told MarketWatch. “The federal securities laws are disclosure rules, for the most part, not about providing reassurance about substance.”</p><p>Other regulatory bodies could conceivably jump in amid an antitrust crackdown on Big Tech, but that would be more likely if it was not Musk making the offer. Joshua White, assistant professor of finance at Vanderbilt University, who was also a financial economist for the SEC in the past, said he does not see any antitrust concerns because Musk’s other companies — Tesla Inc. TSLA, -0.70%, SpaceX and the Boring Co. — do not compete with Twitter.</p><p>Analysts believe Twitter received no other offers for the slow-growing social-media company because the regulatory environment in Washington would likely not allow any sort of deal from rivals such as Facebook parent company Meta Platforms Inc. FB, +1.56% or Google parent Alphabet Inc. GOOG, +3.04% GOOGL, +2.87%. White also noted that Twitter’s financial situation is not appealing to most typical private-equity investors, who take companies private and use their cash flow to pay down debt.</p><p>“Twitter’s cash flow doesn’t fit the profile of a private-equity buyer,” White said.</p><p>While it isn’t private equity making the bid, the deal is structured similarly. Last week, Musk said that he had lined up $25 billion in debt financing from Morgan Stanley MS, +0.37%, Bank of America BAC, -0.72%, Barclays BCS, +0.13% and others, with Musk’s Tesla shares providing collateral for $12.5 billion of those funds. The remaining $21 billion in equity, according to the Wall Street Journal, will come from Musk himself, likely through the sale of some of his Tesla shares or his other company investments.</p><p>Assuming that financing holds up, the deal should go through, as long as Twitter shareholders vote to approve it. It is Tesla investors, however, who could be the real losers in this deal.</p><p>“If Tesla’s stock declines, then the loan to value will decline,” White said, adding that Musk would potentially have to liquidate more Tesla shares, adding more pressure to the EV maker’s stock.</p><p>In addition, Musk will have the added distraction of his role in revamping Twitter, which could detract from the attention he gives Tesla.

While the company’s Saudi investors have already said they would vote against the takeover, it appears unlikely that enough investors will join them to block the deal, which provides a 38% premium to where Twitter was trading before Musk started buying shares.Which leaves only regulatory bodies. Musk is still fighting with the Securities and Exchange Commission over market-moving statements he made in 2018 over Twitter, and has regularly tweeted vitriolic statements at the regulator. However, the SEC “will not and cannot interfere with the merger,” according to Stephen Diamond, associate professor at Santa Clara University School of Law.“Their only role would be to police the disclosure sent to shareholders by the board and Musk for accuracy and completeness,” Diamond told MarketWatch. “The federal securities laws are disclosure rules, for the most part, not about providing reassurance about substance.”Other regulatory bodies could conceivably jump in amid an antitrust crackdown on Big Tech, but that would be more likely if it was not Musk making the offer. Joshua White, assistant professor of finance at Vanderbilt University, who was also a financial economist for the SEC in the past, said he does not see any antitrust concerns because Musk’s other companies — Tesla Inc. TSLA, -0.70%, SpaceX and the Boring Co. — do not compete with Twitter.Analysts believe Twitter received no other offers for the slow-growing social-media company because the regulatory environment in Washington would likely not allow any sort of deal from rivals such as Facebook parent company Meta Platforms Inc. FB, +1.56% or Google parent Alphabet Inc. GOOG, +3.04% GOOGL, +2.87%. White also noted that Twitter’s financial situation is not appealing to most typical private-equity investors, who take companies private and use their cash flow to pay down debt.“Twitter’s cash flow doesn’t fit the profile of a private-equity buyer,” White said.While it isn’t private equity making the bid, the deal is structured similarly. Last week, Musk said that he had lined up $25 billion in debt financing from Morgan Stanley MS, +0.37%, Bank of America BAC, -0.72%, Barclays BCS, +0.13% and others, with Musk’s Tesla shares providing collateral for $12.5 billion of those funds. The remaining $21 billion in equity, according to the Wall Street Journal, will come from Musk himself, likely through the sale of some of his Tesla shares or his other company investments.Assuming that financing holds up, the deal should go through, as long as Twitter shareholders vote to approve it. It is Tesla investors, however, who could be the real losers in this deal.“If Tesla’s stock declines, then the loan to value will decline,” White said, adding that Musk would potentially have to liquidate more Tesla shares, adding more pressure to the EV maker’s stock.In addition, Musk will have the added distraction of his role in revamping Twitter, which could detract from the attention he gives Tesla. Musk has stated many of his plans for Twitter on the platform itself, from making tweets available to edit and allowing for “free speech.” Musk also has outlined some cost-cutting measures for what he recently called the “de facto town square.”Barring an unseen change, this deal will go through, and Twitter will become a private company. What will happen then is the biggest question, but Musk also said in a recent TED Talk interview that he didn’t “care about the economics at all,” implying that he would not focus on Twitter’s profitability or revenue growth.If Musk is going to put economics aside, it’s a good thing for Twitter that he is taking it private, where the company can avoid Wall Street’s scrutiny of its slow-growing user base and revenue. It will also be good for Musk, as a privately held Twitter would avoid constant dealings with his favorite regulators.Elon Musk and Twitter: What We Know, What We Don’t About $44 Billion Deal","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":236,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9939918097,"gmtCreate":1662040790620,"gmtModify":1676536704787,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I m buying too","listText":"I m buying too","text":"I m buying too","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9939918097","repostId":"1160870826","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":718,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041654490,"gmtCreate":1656046322710,"gmtModify":1676535758382,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up Up Up please&nbsp;","listText":"Up Up Up please&nbsp;","text":"Up Up Up please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041654490","repostId":"1155167509","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155167509","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1656042822,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155167509?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-24 11:53","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Don’t Chase After the Latest Surge in Nio Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155167509","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Nio(NYSE:NIO) is up sharply over the past few weeks on renewed investor optimism.However, waning con","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Nio</b>(NYSE:<b>NIO</b>) is up sharply over the past few weeks on renewed investor optimism.</li><li>However, waning consumer demand should start to weigh on the company.</li><li>NIO stock appears overvalued at current levels.</li></ul><p>Shares of Chinese electric vehicle maker <b>Nio</b>(NYSE:<b>NIO)</b>have surged more than 30% this month despite a troubling first-quarter earnings report.

What is clear is that this is a company growing at a very fast pace, and that it is one of Asia&#39;s &#34;Super Apps.&#34; Based on this we believe that if the company finds a way to become profitable, that it can become a very valuable company.

Its EV/revenues multiple reached a high of more than 40x, but has since gone down to ~9x, and the forward EV/revenues stands at only ~5x. This tells us that investors are being a lot more realistic, and balancing the growth of the company with the profitability challenges, to come up with a valuation that leaves more room for error. Still, we would like to remind everyone that even if the risk/reward is a lot more attractive now that the company is seeing profitability improvements and that the valuation is a lot more reasonable, that this is still a company that could go bankrupt if it does not turn profitable in the next few quarters. We estimate the runway it has to become profitable at around eight quarters, but it could be more or less depending on how operating cash flow trends from here. There&#39;s also the possibility that the company will try to do another capital raise to extend its runway if it gets too close to running out of cash.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bef0947c2c077a4dc099088530669bd1\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Outlook for 2022</b></p><p>For fiscal year 2022, Grab is guiding for revenue between $1.2B and $1.3B, and GMV growth of between 30% and 35%.

While we&#39;re seeing some green shoots there the company still has a lot to do to become sustainably profitable.</p><p><b>ESG</b></p><p>We would like to add a quick note saying that we&#39;re positively surprised by Grab&#39;s sustainability efforts.

Core commerce in China is the biggest contributor to its profit and hence we saw a massive dip in Alibaba’s income and margin in the last quarter. This margin decline could continue in the near term as the restrictions due to the pandemic are still being imposed on major cities. Alibaba’s EBITA in core commerce came at RMB 57.8 billion, down from RMB 71.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. Most of this decline was due to higher investment in Taobao Deals, Community Marketplaces, Local Consumer Service and Lazada.</p><p>We should see better margins in the medium term as the competitive pressure declines due to lower investment by Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) in Alibaba’s rivals like JD.com (JD), Pinduoduo (PDD), Meituan, and others. Alibaba’s cloud platform will also be the main driver for margin expansion over the next few quarters. Even with a lower margin in this earnings call, Alibaba could see better bullish sentiment if it continues to show strong progress in cloud, international regions, subscriptions, delivery, and other key business segments.</p><h2>Decline In Margins</h2><p>The decline in margins within core commerce business is due to ramping up of investments in several strategic initiatives. The growing competition from Pinduoduo forced Alibaba to launch Taobao Deals where the margins are low. This service already has over 240 million annual active customers. Alibaba also invested in Ele.me to improve its delivery network. Another big investment activity was in Lazada in Southeast Asia. Lazada is competing against Sea Limited and Alibaba has set a target to hit $100 billion gross merchandise value within this business.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/544c296ad8072dce7401de3165fbf988\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"266\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Alibaba Filings</p><p></p><p>Figure 1: Decline in core commerce EBITA is driving the overall margins lower.</p><p>The margin decline in commerce segment was quite high. The overall EBITA margin in the year-ago quarter was 28% which declined to 18% in the last quarter.</p><h2>Tencent&#39;s Withdrawal</h2><p>Tencent has seen significant regulatory headwinds in recent quarters. It is Alibaba’s main rival which has invested in a number of companies that directly compete with Alibaba. Tencent is now trying to divest its stake in these companies to prevent antitrust action by regulators.</p><p>It has already announced a reduction in stake in JD from 17% to 2.3%. There could also be a reduction in strategic partnership where JD uses Tencent’s platform to improve its service. Tencent might also divest from PDD, Meituan and other startups. At the same time, Tencent is increasing investment outside China. This will reduce the competitive pressure on Alibaba in several business segments.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51ed2b380c935f55b8df8e53737d48b4\" tg-width=\"779\" tg-height=\"551\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Financial Times</p><p></p><p>Figure 2: Lower investment by Tencent in China.</p><h2>Importance Of Cloud Business</h2><p>Alibaba Cloud is already showing annualized revenue rate of $12 billion.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130228d64a56245f00b42dbce2e29d0e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Company Filings</p><p></p><p>Figure 3: Improvement in cloud business compared to year ago quarter.</p><p>In the nine months ending December 31, 2020 Alibaba reported EBITA of negative RMB 1.9 billion. In the latest nine-month period this has changed to positive RMB 0.87 billion. The margin swing in this period was from negative 4% to positive 2 %. Many cloud providers have struggled with lower margins in the initial stages. After reaching a higher revenue base, they are able to leverage the economies of scale to deliver better margins.</p><p>We have already seen this in Google&#39;s ((GOOG)(GOOGL)) cloud business. Google was able to deliver a 16 percentage point improvement in margin on a YoY basis in the previous quarter. Alibaba should also be able to show improvement in cloud margins as the revenue base increases and we see better economies of scale.</p><p>Another factor working in favor of Alibaba Cloud is the rapid international growth shown by the company. Recently, Alibaba opened its third data center in Germany and it now directly competes with Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Google, and other cloud providers in the lucrative European region. It should be noted that Alibaba Cloud has many features which are similar to Amazon&#39;s AWS because both of these cloud operations started with their e-commerce business. This makes it easier for clients to use Alibaba Cloud instead of AWS in case they get better discounts.</p><p>Many clients are focusing on using the services of multiple cloud providers instead of a single cloud company. This should help Alibaba Cloud gain market share as clients try to diversify their cloud providers.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b7a35257e5d288ea3753661e3165873\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"248\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Amazon Filing</p><p></p><p>Figure 4: Amazon&#39;s AWS has shown operating margin of close to 30% in the last few quarters.</p><p>Amazon’s AWS regularly shows operating margin of 30%. There is a massive margin gap between Alibaba Cloud and AWS. Alibaba Cloud has already shown an improvement of six percentage points in margins in the first three-quarters of this fiscal. Further improvement is likely as Alibaba ramps up its international investment in cloud business.</p><p>Hence, we should see a lot of margin improvement in Alibaba Cloud due to better economies of scale, international expansion, and usage of multiple cloud providers by clients, and thereby see a reduction in margin gap with AWS.</p><h2>Are Margins Important?</h2><p>If Alibaba can show rapid growth in international regions, the margins might take a back seat for Wall Street in evaluating the stock. The company is trying to replicate the business model it has created within China in other locations. It tries to gain a good share of the ecommerce market in a new region and then launches other services like payment, cloud, delivery, subscriptions, etc. within these locations. Alibaba has already proven itself in Southeast Asia. It owns Lazada which is a major player in the ecommerce market of Southeast Asia.</p><p>Lazada had $21 billion gross merchandise value according to recent estimates compared with Sea Limited which had $35 billion GMV. Sea Limited is trading at close to $50 billion market cap. Hence, Lazada could also have a massive standalone valuation. Alibaba also owns a big stake in Trendyol which is the leading e-commerce company in Turkey with a valuation of over $16 billion.</p><p>By end of this decade, Alibaba’s international business could be worth more than its Chinese business. During the expansion phase in international regions, the margins will suffer as the company tries to invest in warehousing, logistics and attracts new customers through discounts. Wall Street might overlook margins in this period if Alibaba’s management can deliver high enough growth in international markets. The recent YoY growth in Lazada was 82% which shows that heavy investment can bring a strong growth from a high revenue base.</p><h2>Impact On Stock</h2><p>Alibaba is trading at a modest valuation multiple even if we price in the regulatory challenges faced by the company. The company has a number of growth drivers that it can use to deliver better numbers in the future. The core business is still very strong and it has been able to retain its market share despite the growth of innovative disruptors like PDD.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e18f482493ca5ea51b28b8a3f0ce819\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Ycharts</p><p></p><p>Figure 5: Alibaba&#39;s forward PE ratio is considerably lower than that of JD and PDD.</p><p>The revenue growth is still strong in a number of important businesses like cloud, international commerce, Ele.me and others. The forward P/E ratio of Alibaba is close to single digit which does not reflect the core strengths. We could still see some margin headwinds due to pandemic restrictions in the near term.

Core commerce in China is the biggest contributor to its profit and hence we saw a massive dip in Alibaba’s income and margin in the last quarter. This margin decline could continue in the near term as the restrictions due to the pandemic are still being imposed on major cities. Alibaba’s EBITA in core commerce came at RMB 57.8 billion, down from RMB 71.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. Most of this decline was due to higher investment in Taobao Deals, Community Marketplaces, Local Consumer Service and Lazada.We should see better margins in the medium term as the competitive pressure declines due to lower investment by Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) in Alibaba’s rivals like JD.com (JD), Pinduoduo (PDD), Meituan, and others. Alibaba’s cloud platform will also be the main driver for margin expansion over the next few quarters. Even with a lower margin in this earnings call, Alibaba could see better bullish sentiment if it continues to show strong progress in cloud, international regions, subscriptions, delivery, and other key business segments.Decline In MarginsThe decline in margins within core commerce business is due to ramping up of investments in several strategic initiatives. The growing competition from Pinduoduo forced Alibaba to launch Taobao Deals where the margins are low. This service already has over 240 million annual active customers. Alibaba also invested in Ele.me to improve its delivery network. Another big investment activity was in Lazada in Southeast Asia. Lazada is competing against Sea Limited and Alibaba has set a target to hit $100 billion gross merchandise value within this business.Alibaba FilingsFigure 1: Decline in core commerce EBITA is driving the overall margins lower.The margin decline in commerce segment was quite high. The overall EBITA margin in the year-ago quarter was 28% which declined to 18% in the last quarter.Tencent's WithdrawalTencent has seen significant regulatory headwinds in recent quarters. It is Alibaba’s main rival which has invested in a number of companies that directly compete with Alibaba. Tencent is now trying to divest its stake in these companies to prevent antitrust action by regulators.It has already announced a reduction in stake in JD from 17% to 2.3%. There could also be a reduction in strategic partnership where JD uses Tencent’s platform to improve its service. Tencent might also divest from PDD, Meituan and other startups. At the same time, Tencent is increasing investment outside China. This will reduce the competitive pressure on Alibaba in several business segments.Financial TimesFigure 2: Lower investment by Tencent in China.Importance Of Cloud BusinessAlibaba Cloud is already showing annualized revenue rate of $12 billion.Company FilingsFigure 3: Improvement in cloud business compared to year ago quarter.In the nine months ending December 31, 2020 Alibaba reported EBITA of negative RMB 1.9 billion. In the latest nine-month period this has changed to positive RMB 0.87 billion. The margin swing in this period was from negative 4% to positive 2 %. Many cloud providers have struggled with lower margins in the initial stages. After reaching a higher revenue base, they are able to leverage the economies of scale to deliver better margins.We have already seen this in Google's ((GOOG)(GOOGL)) cloud business. Google was able to deliver a 16 percentage point improvement in margin on a YoY basis in the previous quarter. Alibaba should also be able to show improvement in cloud margins as the revenue base increases and we see better economies of scale.Another factor working in favor of Alibaba Cloud is the rapid international growth shown by the company. Recently, Alibaba opened its third data center in Germany and it now directly competes with Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Google, and other cloud providers in the lucrative European region. It should be noted that Alibaba Cloud has many features which are similar to Amazon's AWS because both of these cloud operations started with their e-commerce business. This makes it easier for clients to use Alibaba Cloud instead of AWS in case they get better discounts.Many clients are focusing on using the services of multiple cloud providers instead of a single cloud company. This should help Alibaba Cloud gain market share as clients try to diversify their cloud providers.Amazon FilingFigure 4: Amazon's AWS has shown operating margin of close to 30% in the last few quarters.Amazon’s AWS regularly shows operating margin of 30%. There is a massive margin gap between Alibaba Cloud and AWS. Alibaba Cloud has already shown an improvement of six percentage points in margins in the first three-quarters of this fiscal. Further improvement is likely as Alibaba ramps up its international investment in cloud business.Hence, we should see a lot of margin improvement in Alibaba Cloud due to better economies of scale, international expansion, and usage of multiple cloud providers by clients, and thereby see a reduction in margin gap with AWS.Are Margins Important?If Alibaba can show rapid growth in international regions, the margins might take a back seat for Wall Street in evaluating the stock. The company is trying to replicate the business model it has created within China in other locations. It tries to gain a good share of the ecommerce market in a new region and then launches other services like payment, cloud, delivery, subscriptions, etc. within these locations. Alibaba has already proven itself in Southeast Asia. It owns Lazada which is a major player in the ecommerce market of Southeast Asia.Lazada had $21 billion gross merchandise value according to recent estimates compared with Sea Limited which had $35 billion GMV. Sea Limited is trading at close to $50 billion market cap. Hence, Lazada could also have a massive standalone valuation. Alibaba also owns a big stake in Trendyol which is the leading e-commerce company in Turkey with a valuation of over $16 billion.By end of this decade, Alibaba’s international business could be worth more than its Chinese business. During the expansion phase in international regions, the margins will suffer as the company tries to invest in warehousing, logistics and attracts new customers through discounts. Wall Street might overlook margins in this period if Alibaba’s management can deliver high enough growth in international markets. The recent YoY growth in Lazada was 82% which shows that heavy investment can bring a strong growth from a high revenue base.Impact On StockAlibaba is trading at a modest valuation multiple even if we price in the regulatory challenges faced by the company. The company has a number of growth drivers that it can use to deliver better numbers in the future. The core business is still very strong and it has been able to retain its market share despite the growth of innovative disruptors like PDD.YchartsFigure 5: Alibaba's forward PE ratio is considerably lower than that of JD and PDD.The revenue growth is still strong in a number of important businesses like cloud, international commerce, Ele.me and others. The forward P/E ratio of Alibaba is close to single digit which does not reflect the core strengths. We could still see some margin headwinds due to pandemic restrictions in the near term. However, in the medium to long term, the revenue growth and margin potential of the company are promising.Investors should look past the short-term margin fluctuation and gauge the long-term growth of important segments like cloud, international commerce, subscriptions, and competition with Tencent.Investor TakeawayAlibaba has seen a dip in margins as the company invests in its strategic initiatives. We should see lower competitive pressure on Alibaba in the medium term as Tencent reduces its stake and partnership in JD, PDD, Meituan and others. Tencent is also directing more investment in international regions which should be favorable for Alibaba in China. Alibaba’s cloud business will be the main margin driver in the next few quarters.Alibaba’s international growth will also put less attention on the margins. If Alibaba can rapidly expand in Southeast Asia and Europe across services like ecommerce, cloud, payments, delivery, and others, then it can improve the long-term growth runway for the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":408,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067181533,"gmtCreate":1652422579622,"gmtModify":1676535098195,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The high have to come down.

If they prove vulnerable to a downturn, then some traders will see that as evidence that a more extensive decline for the overall market could be ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":651,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9084633226,"gmtCreate":1650853585813,"gmtModify":1676534803895,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nio.... the next Tesla... ready to launch&nbsp;","listText":"Nio.... the next Tesla... ready to launch&nbsp;","text":"Nio.... the next Tesla... ready to launch","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9084633226","repostId":"1130507299","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1130507299","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1650850920,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1130507299?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-25 09:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Reasons to Be Bullish on NIO Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130507299","media":"investorplace","summary":"Nio (NIO) stock has been falling after the price hike announcement and the suspension of production.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Nio (NIO) stock has been falling after the price hike announcement and the suspension of production.</li><li>The production halt is temporary and many other electric vehicle (EV) makers have also hiked their prices.</li><li>The dip in Nio stock is a great chance to take your position.</li></ul><p>Electric Vehicle makers in China are having trouble due to the fresh Covid-19 lockdown. Having recently announced a forced halt in EV production, Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has suffered. The stock tumbled after the announcement since investors assumed that the company will miss production targets. NIO stock went from $23 to $19 over the past two weeks.

Nio was only taking a short production halt and not closing production completely. However, we might see a dip in the delivery numbers, but it could only be for a month and not a consistent dip. According to the management, Nio will still be running but on a limited scale, and the halt is limited to the weekends only.

This is reason enough to have faith in Nio’s production abilities.</p><h2>Nio Is Not the Only One Considering a Price Hike</h2><p>One thing to keep in mind is that whenever the price of raw material increases, manufacturers will consider a price hike. In this case, the price of lithium is skyrocketing and it has impacted all EV makers. However, Nio is not the only one raising the price of its cars. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has increased prices several times in the past. Since China is still grappling with the pandemic, Nio will have to pay a higher price for the raw materials and this will have an impact on the cost of production. Nio doesn’t have much choice except to raise the price of its cars.</p><p>Even Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) is considering a price hike to meet the supply chain and inflation concerns. The automakers who haven’t announced a price hike yet may have to do so in the coming months. Sustaining demand in the competitive EV industry is the key to success and as long as Nio manages to produce and deliver the projected number of cars, it will be able to keep growing.</p><h2>Bottom Line on Nio Stock</h2><p>Nio is suffering more than it should and it is because of temporary reasons. The stock was once trading as high as $55 and is finding it difficult to hit $25 now. However, I believe the stock has solid potential to grow and reap returns in the long term. NIO stock is a long-term play and not a stock to sell when the market is down. Keep holding on to the stock for better returns in the second half of the year.</p><p>UBS analyst Paul Gong has a buy rating for the stock with a price target of $32. The analyst thinks that the time to strike is now and the shares look undervalued at the current level. Further, Martin Heung, a Nomura analyst has a buy rating with a price target of $51.50 on NIO shares. At a price target of $51.50, the analyst gives a massive upside potential.

Last week, he threatened to terminate it in a letter accusing the company of not complying with his request for data. Twitter said at the time that it was continuing to share information with Mr. Musk and that it planned to enforce the merger agreement.</p><p>Mr. Musk agreed to pay $54.20 a share for Twitter.

He went on to discuss his vision to extend the scope, scale and lifespan of civilization as we know it, according to a person who viewed the meeting.Mr. Musk also briefly touched on the prospects of alien life. “I’ve seen no actual evidence for aliens…yet,” he told employees, people who attended the meeting said.Ms. Berland raised the subject of remote work, which Mr. Musk has criticized on Twitter. About 1,500 of Twitter’s employees work remotely, she said in the meeting. Twitter previously announceda plan to allow employees to work remotely indefinitelyif it helped them be more productive.Mr. Musk responded that the work of building cars at electric-vehicle maker Tesla,where he is chief executive, can’t be done remotely.“If someone can only work remotely, and they’re exceptional, it wouldn’t make sense to fire them,” he said, according to the people who viewed the meeting. “Definitely not in favor of things that are mad.” He added thathis bias is strongly for working in personbut that managers can decide which of their employees can work remotely, as is the practice at Tesla.Soon after Mr. Musk’s comments, some employees publicly tweeted jokes and memes about how to convey that they were exceptional workers. One employee tweeted: “adding exceptional contributor to my CV.”In response to a question about how employees and Mr. Musk can earneach other’s trust, Mr. Musk said, “Trust is as trust does. I tend to be extremely literal in what I say.”Twitter is aiming to schedule a shareholder vote on the takeover deal later this summer and close it soon thereafter, barring unforeseen developments. Mr. Musk said he would return for another question-and-answer session, attendees said.Manu Cornet, an engineer at Twitter,poked funat the all-hands meeting with a cartoon he tweeted Thursday, suggesting that details of the session would be leaked.Mr. Musk has kept Twitter employees and Wall Street on edge as to whether he will follow through with the transaction. Last week, he threatened to terminate it in a letter accusing the company of not complying with his request for data. Twitter said at the time that it was continuing to share information with Mr. Musk and that it planned to enforce the merger agreement.Mr. Musk agreed to pay $54.20 a share for Twitter. The company’s share price has since fallen amid broader market declines, closing Thursday at $37.36.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":527,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9061379705,"gmtCreate":1651578186164,"gmtModify":1676534929693,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Where is it heading?

The big data analytics and software firm greatly underperformed the <b>S&amp;P 500 Index</b> last month, which was down only 8.8%. It is likely that Palantir was affected by fears over rising interest rates, inflation, and the potential for a recession, which has severely impacted the prices of growth stocks.</p><h2>So what</h2><p>There were no material business updates from Palantir in April, so all these price moves come from changes in market sentiment. Last month, inflation continued to run rampant throughout the United States&#39; economy, with the last recorded data point at an 8.5% year-over-year rate. How does this affect the price of Palantir stock? Well, when inflation is high, the Federal Reserve tends to raise interest rates. When interest rates rise, it becomes more attractive to hold U.S treasury bonds and less attractive to hold an expensive growth stock. With inflation running high, Federal Reserve members have stated they plan to quickly raise interest rates in the coming quarters. This has caused many investors to sell high-growth stocks like Palantir.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0f28cf941780365a8164d2f6177400a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>It also doesn&#39;t help that Palantir is highly unprofitable.

This might be true over a long enough time horizon, but that is not how investors think in relation to rising interest rates.

(NYSE:NIO) previewed its Q1 results ten days ago, and despite what some have qualified as disappointing results and guidance, the stock is up nearly 30% in the last month.</p><p>Results, while not great, have been good in a challenging macroeconomic context. But most important are the numerous growth catalysts that NIO has announced in the last few months.</p><p>On top of that, with the recent rally, NIO shares have shown clear evidence of a sentiment shift and early signs that a bottom could be in.</p><p>With that said, I am changing my rating back to a strong buy, as I see this as an opportunity to both buy NIO near the low while also buying shares into strength.</p><p><b>Recent Results</b></p><p>In my last article on NIO, I talked about the challenges posed by the CCP and delisting fears. I gave NIO a buy rating back then since I was fundamentally bullish, but the environment and share price were not. Now, with the latest results in place, numerous catalysts and a strong trend reversal, I am shifting my view back to a strong buy.</p><p>Let’s begin by looking at deliveries for the latest quarter.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a0bdf6679d390abdee3945b62903d029\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"188\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>NIO Q1 Deliveries(IR NIO)</p><p>NIO delivered 25,768 vehicles in Q1, which was only a 0.3% increase versus the latest quarter but a 25% increase YoY.</p><p>While deliveries have certainly been underwhelming, it is perhaps the shrinking margins which investors have been most concerned about:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fab46e448af8f6c75ae7f2b5c8095456\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"274\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>NIO Financial Results(NIO IR)</p><p>Although NIO provided a technical beat on EPS, vehicle margin has contracted by 310bp YoY and 280bp QoQ. The gross margin now sits at 14.8%, while it was 19.5% this time last year.</p><p>Investors are rightly asking themselves how a company like NIO will return value to them in the future. NIO is in a very competitive market and is also fighting supply disruptions, along with higher input costs brought about by inflation.</p><p>However, if we focus on what NIO can control, we see strong initiatives coming from the company to improve profitability, improve their product offerings, and keep growing at a fast rate.</p><p><b>Numerous Catalysts</b></p><p>NIO is doing everything it can to solve the problems it faces today. But complex problems require complex solutions, and it will take time for NIO to turn things around.</p><p>One such initiative is NIO announcing plans to develop its own battery pack in 2024. The company will produce an 800-volt pack and use a combination of in-home and outsourced batteries for its production needs.</p><p>This follows a prior announcement that NIO was investing $32.8 million to develop a lithium-ion battery lab in Shanghai. This is a great move on NIO&#39;s part, as lithium lies at the heart of battery technology and is becoming an expensive and scarce resource. EV makers that can find a way to optimize the use of lithium will have a great advantage over competitors moving forward.</p><p>Also, NIO’s founder William Li announced recently that the company would be launching a development (R&amp;D) center for autonomous driving and artificial intelligence in Singapore, where NIO shares were recently listed.</p><p>On top of that, it’s worth mentioning that NIO is building another factory in Lu&#39;an city, which will be completed in the first half of 2023. This park will make aluminum die-casting products, which will not only improve NIO’s margins but also help reduce emissions by 50%.</p><p>On the profitability front, NIO is doing its best to keep costs down by investing in better technology and increasing its production capacity, which will provide them with economies of scale.</p><p>On the more imminent growth part of the equation, we also have two recent catalysts that will help NIO maintain high levels of growth.</p><p>Firstly, the company has announced the launch of the ES7, a mid-large-sized SUV. What’s most notable about this launch is that it will be the first NIO vehicle to operate on the new NT 2.0 technology platform, which features level 4 autonomous driving. The ES7 could be a game-changer for NIO, and it should help boost sales starting in September.</p><p>Furthermore, NIO will also be getting help from the Chinese government. As one of the many measures introduced by the CCP to promote consumption after the pandemic, China will be increasing the quota for passenger cars. In China, the ownership of cars is limited, but this limit will be increased this year, which will be a catalyst for car manufacturers as a whole.</p><p>To this, we can add the fact that China will probably be expanding EV subsidies until next year.</p><p>In conclusion, we have numerous catalysts in play now that were not present a month ago, which is changing investor sentiment.</p><p><b>Early Signs of A Bottom</b></p><p>The events of the last month have propelled NIO shares higher since we reached a bottom at around $14. Investor sentiment looks to have shifted, COVID lockdowns in China are ending, the government is moving to increase consumption, and both NIO and the market as a whole have come down to much more attractive valuations.</p><p>We are beginning to see signs of a bottom, and this is also evident if we look at NIO’s price chart:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e8016b3ec78347b3f5c43727e90b0c7\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"653\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>NIO Technical Analysis(Author&#39;s work)</p><p>As we can see from the chart above, NIO has now escaped the downtrend channel it has been in since November of last year. On top of that, we have seen very impulsive moves, with NIO rallying over 10% on numerous days. From an Elliott Wave perspective, we could point out 5 waves up, forming a diagonal.</p><p>Lastly, the RSI and MACD are also giving us bullish indications. On the 1D chart, the RSI has established a clear uptrend, but it is still far from overbought. The MACD has avoided a bullish crossover and gained momentum, which is also encouraging.</p><p>All in all, we are seeing early signs of a bottom. The sentiment is changing, which is backed up by the technical picture.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>EVs are essentially computers on wheels. That’s why comparisons and valuations with “traditional” auto manufacturers are inappropriate. EV makers are like tech companies, collecting data with every ride, and the value of this data is hard to calculate (though we know it is significant).</p><p>With that said, NIO currently trades at a P/S of 4, and this seems pretty low considering future growth prospects:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b56774ecb609017deaffbfadf74ebf48\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"174\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>NIO Revenue Forecasts(Seeking Alpha)</p><p>By 2025 NIO could achieve between $23-$35 billion in revenue, implying a fwd P/S of 0.89. NIO’s average P/S since its inception has been close to 11, and Tesla currently trades at a P/S close to 8. NIO’s P/S should be closer to this in the long run, and even using a conservative figure of 6, NIO shares could easily double from here.</p><p>On top of that, investing in NIO at these prices comes with a considerable safety net. NIO has about 5$/share and is trading at only four times that. This is a company that is growing fast and is nowhere near bankruptcy. Realistically, the shares can’t go down much below recent lows.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>Investing in NIO doesn’t come without risks.

(NYSE:NIO) previewed its Q1 results ten days ago, and despite what some have qualified as disappointing results and guidance, the stock is up nearly 30% in the last month.Results, while not great, have been good in a challenging macroeconomic context. But most important are the numerous growth catalysts that NIO has announced in the last few months.On top of that, with the recent rally, NIO shares have shown clear evidence of a sentiment shift and early signs that a bottom could be in.With that said, I am changing my rating back to a strong buy, as I see this as an opportunity to both buy NIO near the low while also buying shares into strength.Recent ResultsIn my last article on NIO, I talked about the challenges posed by the CCP and delisting fears. I gave NIO a buy rating back then since I was fundamentally bullish, but the environment and share price were not. Now, with the latest results in place, numerous catalysts and a strong trend reversal, I am shifting my view back to a strong buy.Let’s begin by looking at deliveries for the latest quarter.NIO Q1 Deliveries(IR NIO)NIO delivered 25,768 vehicles in Q1, which was only a 0.3% increase versus the latest quarter but a 25% increase YoY.While deliveries have certainly been underwhelming, it is perhaps the shrinking margins which investors have been most concerned about:NIO Financial Results(NIO IR)Although NIO provided a technical beat on EPS, vehicle margin has contracted by 310bp YoY and 280bp QoQ. The gross margin now sits at 14.8%, while it was 19.5% this time last year.Investors are rightly asking themselves how a company like NIO will return value to them in the future. NIO is in a very competitive market and is also fighting supply disruptions, along with higher input costs brought about by inflation.However, if we focus on what NIO can control, we see strong initiatives coming from the company to improve profitability, improve their product offerings, and keep growing at a fast rate.Numerous CatalystsNIO is doing everything it can to solve the problems it faces today. But complex problems require complex solutions, and it will take time for NIO to turn things around.One such initiative is NIO announcing plans to develop its own battery pack in 2024. The company will produce an 800-volt pack and use a combination of in-home and outsourced batteries for its production needs.This follows a prior announcement that NIO was investing $32.8 million to develop a lithium-ion battery lab in Shanghai. This is a great move on NIO's part, as lithium lies at the heart of battery technology and is becoming an expensive and scarce resource. EV makers that can find a way to optimize the use of lithium will have a great advantage over competitors moving forward.Also, NIO’s founder William Li announced recently that the company would be launching a development (R&D) center for autonomous driving and artificial intelligence in Singapore, where NIO shares were recently listed.On top of that, it’s worth mentioning that NIO is building another factory in Lu'an city, which will be completed in the first half of 2023. This park will make aluminum die-casting products, which will not only improve NIO’s margins but also help reduce emissions by 50%.On the profitability front, NIO is doing its best to keep costs down by investing in better technology and increasing its production capacity, which will provide them with economies of scale.On the more imminent growth part of the equation, we also have two recent catalysts that will help NIO maintain high levels of growth.Firstly, the company has announced the launch of the ES7, a mid-large-sized SUV. What’s most notable about this launch is that it will be the first NIO vehicle to operate on the new NT 2.0 technology platform, which features level 4 autonomous driving. The ES7 could be a game-changer for NIO, and it should help boost sales starting in September.Furthermore, NIO will also be getting help from the Chinese government. As one of the many measures introduced by the CCP to promote consumption after the pandemic, China will be increasing the quota for passenger cars. In China, the ownership of cars is limited, but this limit will be increased this year, which will be a catalyst for car manufacturers as a whole.To this, we can add the fact that China will probably be expanding EV subsidies until next year.In conclusion, we have numerous catalysts in play now that were not present a month ago, which is changing investor sentiment.Early Signs of A BottomThe events of the last month have propelled NIO shares higher since we reached a bottom at around $14. Investor sentiment looks to have shifted, COVID lockdowns in China are ending, the government is moving to increase consumption, and both NIO and the market as a whole have come down to much more attractive valuations.We are beginning to see signs of a bottom, and this is also evident if we look at NIO’s price chart:NIO Technical Analysis(Author's work)As we can see from the chart above, NIO has now escaped the downtrend channel it has been in since November of last year. On top of that, we have seen very impulsive moves, with NIO rallying over 10% on numerous days. From an Elliott Wave perspective, we could point out 5 waves up, forming a diagonal.Lastly, the RSI and MACD are also giving us bullish indications. On the 1D chart, the RSI has established a clear uptrend, but it is still far from overbought. The MACD has avoided a bullish crossover and gained momentum, which is also encouraging.All in all, we are seeing early signs of a bottom. The sentiment is changing, which is backed up by the technical picture.ValuationEVs are essentially computers on wheels. That’s why comparisons and valuations with “traditional” auto manufacturers are inappropriate. EV makers are like tech companies, collecting data with every ride, and the value of this data is hard to calculate (though we know it is significant).With that said, NIO currently trades at a P/S of 4, and this seems pretty low considering future growth prospects:NIO Revenue Forecasts(Seeking Alpha)By 2025 NIO could achieve between $23-$35 billion in revenue, implying a fwd P/S of 0.89. NIO’s average P/S since its inception has been close to 11, and Tesla currently trades at a P/S close to 8. NIO’s P/S should be closer to this in the long run, and even using a conservative figure of 6, NIO shares could easily double from here.On top of that, investing in NIO at these prices comes with a considerable safety net. NIO has about 5$/share and is trading at only four times that. This is a company that is growing fast and is nowhere near bankruptcy. Realistically, the shares can’t go down much below recent lows.RisksInvesting in NIO doesn’t come without risks. Chinese stocks are in a delicate situation right now, given geopolitical tensions and delisting fears, which I addressed in my last article.As mentioned above, NIO favors a challenging macro environment and a competitive landscape, but I see evidence that the company can turn this around.Final ThoughtsNIO Inc is one of the leading EV manufacturers in China, quickly becoming a global company. While recent results could be interpreted as weak, the company is making the right moves to improve profitability and keep growing. Furthermore, investors should remember that EVs are more than just cars, and the value of the data and technology in them is hard to calculate at this point; this is why Tesla and NIO command much higher valuation multiples.While it is still early days, I believe the most likely scenario now is that the bottom is in.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":589,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9015599753,"gmtCreate":1649504447247,"gmtModify":1676534522538,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great, buying BAC","listText":"Great, buying BAC","text":"Great, buying BAC","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9015599753","repostId":"2225275265","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2225275265","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1649469735,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2225275265?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-09 10:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Great Dividend Stocks You Can Buy for Less Than $50 a Share","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2225275265","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"One is a Dividend Aristocrat and the other is one of Warren Buffett's favorite holdings.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>A more expensive stock may have a higher dividend payout, but that doesn&#39;t necessarily mean it&#39;s a better dividend stock. It&#39;s all about the yield. If a lower-priced stock has a higher yield than the more expensive <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, it can deliver more dividend income for the same dollar amount invested. And steady, increasing income is often a prime reason for getting into dividend investing, even if you don&#39;t have a lot to invest.</p><p>Let&#39;s take a closer look at two high-yield dividend stocks that you can buy for under $50 per share.</p><h2>1. Franklin Resources: About $26 per share</h2><p><b>Franklin Resources</b> is an asset manager that has raised its dividend for 40 consecutive years, making it a Dividend Aristocrat. There are only about 35 other <b>S&amp;P 500</b> stocks that have a longer streak. Franklin Resources, which owns Franklin Templeton funds, among other fund families, has been able to continually increase its dividend through some lean years last decade when investors turned en masse to index funds and this primarily active manager underperformed.</p><p>Now, Franklin is in great shape to continue to increase that dividend. It made a big move in 2020 to acquire one of its rivals, Legg Mason, to give it added scale and make it a top-10 asset manager. Legg Mason brought world-class fixed income management to Franklin, as well as significant institutional assets. Franklin also just closed on its deal to buy private equity firm Lexington Partners. These moves provide it with a diversity of assets that should serve it well in the choppy markets that are expected.</p><p>Franklin is coming off a strong 2021 and finished the year with revenue up 11% and operating income up 36% in the fourth quarter, year over year. It has over $4 billion in cash and a high 25% operating margin.</p><p>The firm just distributed a $0.29 per share dividend in the first quarter at a yield of 4.3%, which is historically high. The last time it was in that range was when it jumped to 6% at the start of the pandemic when the share price plummeted. Another plus about Franklin is that it has a low payout ratio of about 27%, which indicates the dividend is easily sustainable and has plenty of room for further growth.</p><h2>2. Bank of America: About $39 per share</h2><p><b>Bank of America</b> is a megabank -- the second-largest in the U.S. It is also the second-largest holding of Warren Buffett, founder and CEO of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>.</p><p>Bank of America&#39;s stock is down about 11.2% year to date, but it is poised to outperform the market in 2022. It posted some solid numbers in the fourth quarter with revenue up 10%, deposits up 16%, and loan balances increasing 6%, year over year. Also, net income was up 27% year over year in Q4.</p><p>The numbers were buoyed by the addition of 901,000 new checking accounts in 2021, up 64% over pre-pandemic levels, while new net investment accounts jumped 24% over that same time period. Further, Bank of America&#39;s efficiency ratio, the percentage of expenses it takes to earn $1 of revenue, is 66%, down from 68% in Q4 2020.</p><p>There is reason to be hopeful that the momentum will continue in 2022 and beyond. The Federal Reserve boosted interest rates in March and the expectation is that it will boost rates perhaps six more times this year and more next year to curb inflation. This is great news for banks, as higher interest rates translate to higher interest income and more revenue.</p><p>Loan growth is also expected to be robust, with a high-single-digit percentage increase expected in 2022. That, of course, hinges on whether the Fed can get inflation under control and if Russia&#39;s invasion of Ukraine doesn&#39;t derail economic growth. CEO Brian Moynihan projected a revenue increase of $6.5 billion with a 100-basis-point increase in rates on the fourth-quarter earnings call.</p><p>Bank of America paid out a dividend of $0.21 per share in the first quarter at a yield of 2.1%. That&#39;s lower than Franklin, but above the 1.3% average on the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>. Like Franklin, it also has a low payout ratio -- just 21%, so with the earnings expectations, the dividend is quite sustainable.</p><p>These are two well-established companies that should not only continue to produce good dividends but should also see solid returns in a volatile market -- and they are both trading under $50 per share.</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>2 Great Dividend Stocks You Can Buy for Less Than $50 a Share</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\">\n2 Great Dividend Stocks You Can Buy for Less Than $50 a Share\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-09 10:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/08/great-dividend-stocks-you-can-buy-less-than-50/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A more expensive stock may have a higher dividend payout, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a better dividend stock.

Like Franklin, it also has a low payout ratio -- just 21%, so with the earnings expectations, the dividend is quite sustainable.These are two well-established companies that should not only continue to produce good dividends but should also see solid returns in a volatile market -- and they are both trading under $50 per share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9915065666,"gmtCreate":1664928503155,"gmtModify":1676537529584,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Aagain ¿?","listText":"Aagain ¿?","text":"Aagain ¿?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9915065666","repostId":"1130989875","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130989875","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1664926623,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1130989875?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-05 07:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Musk Revives $44 Billion Twitter Bid, Aiming to Avoid Trial","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130989875","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Legal team for Musk sensed judge would not rule in favorProposal likely eliminates need for court tr","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Legal team for Musk sensed judge would not rule in favor</li><li>Proposal likely eliminates need for court trial this month</li></ul><p>Elon Musk revived a bid to buy for Twitter Inc. at the original price of $54.20 a share, backtracking on his effort to quit the deal and potentially avoiding a contentious courtroom fight.</p><p>Musk made the proposal in a letter to Twitter on Monday, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that confirmed a Bloomberg report.

I can&#39;t imagine a scenario where BABA delivers on its shareholder&#39;s high growth expectations.</li><li>Charlie Munger sold half of his BABA shares, sensing the rough patch ahead.</li><li>BABA&#39;s volatility will sure test the loyalty of Softbank, BABA&#39;s largest shareholder.</li></ul><p>Executive Summary</p><p>This year, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) faces multiple revenue headwinds hampering its growth prospects. Management&#39;s growth initiatives have long-run potential but are too small to make a meaningful difference in the short and medium run. Alibaba&#39;s growth-oriented shareholder base will exacerbate a volatile market reaction over what we see as a disappointing earnings release in May.</p><p>Investment Thesis</p><p>News of Charlie Mungersellingsignificant portions of his Alibaba position doesn&#39;t come as a surprise. My last two articles offered a rebuttal of The Daily Journal (DJCO) mogul&#39;s investment thesis touting Alibaba&#39;s shares on news media, citing competitive advantage, growth, and &#34;value for the dollar invested.&#34; Hearing him, I realized that his investment thesis needed updating and, more importantly, how oblivious Alibaba&#39;s investors are to its new realities.</p><p>Until recently, Alibaba abused its market position to force merchants to sign exclusivity agreements, prohibiting them from marketing products on other platforms. What Charlie Munger thought was &#34;competitive advantage&#34; is, to a large extent, a monopoly that has come to an end after a brutal corruption and regulatory crackdown.</p><p>Munger also mentions a &#34;higher value of a dollar invested&#34; in Alibaba than its US and European counterparts. This hypothesis was true six months ago, but today, there are many western tech companies trading at discounts after the growth-to-value rotation.</p><p>Finally, the growth argument is also no longer helpful because of a maturing core segment and the low revenue base of growth drivers such as Cloud and the international market. The Q3 (December quarter) mediocre revenue growth mirrors these dynamics.</p><p>Revenue Trends</p><p>Alibaba investors should prepare for volatile quarterly results this May. Realizing the rough patch ahead, Munger shrank his position, and you should consider doing the same. As always, be careful using leverage. Contrary to popular opinion, Alibaba is not necessarily at the bottom.</p><p>Last month, growth-hungry shareholders weren&#39;t kind to the ticker after disappointing topline results, pushing shares to multi-year lows. Regardless of how much data and price multiples support your hypothesis, nothing can prevent shares from dipping again. Market prices are determined by supply and demand, and I believe there is a discrepancy between what Alibaba can deliver and what its shareholders expect in terms of growth.</p><p>The company faces three main headwinds:</p><ol><li>Macro-economic challenges</li><li>Maturing Chinese Market</li><li>Rising Competition</li></ol><p>The zero-COVID policy is squeezing China consumers, dragging down consumer confidence. Google &#34;China Lockdown,&#34; and you&#39;ll find chilling videos of desperate Chinese citizens struggling with lockdowns. In this video, Shanghai residents are heard screaming from their balconies in protest of the lockdowns, and they don&#39;t seem in the mood for shopping on Alibaba. Instead, they appear more concerned about increasing prices, lack of income, depleting savings, food shortages, and inadequate food rations. The economic environment is not accommodative for Alibaba to meet Wall Street&#39;s 33% 2022 revenue growth expectations.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59845a06664129959a3d7afc696f959b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"258\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Alibaba Revenue Estimates(Seeking Alpha)</p><p>Alibaba&#39;s macroeconomic challenges are the least of its troubles. One might argue that business cycles are temporary, similar to COVID policies, despite their short-term impact on this year&#39;s revenue. This would make a solid contrarian strategy, especially for those with a stomach to sit on losses for long periods of time, if it wasn&#39;t for the fundamental, long-term revenue disruption impacting Alibaba.</p><p>The China e-commerce &#34;CEC&#34; segment constitutes 70% of Alibaba&#39;s revenue. Annual active users now stand at 937 million against a total population of 1.4 billion, with 260 million below the age of 15, pointing to a saturated market. Last quarter, CEC grew 7%, a disappointing figure given it includes inorganic growth from the Sun Art acquisition, mirroring demographic challenges facing its core segment.</p><p>Management is trying to find growth in rural China. However, sales data from its competitor, Pinduoduo Inc. (PDD), which focuses on this market and posts 900 million annual active users, points to a weak purchasing power that is not enough to create meaningful growth.</p><p>The same goes for cloud computing and international markets, which, together with rural China expansion, represent the company&#39;s official growth strategy. The Cloud and International Segment represent 8% and 7% of total revenue. For these segments to compensate for a 10% decrease in core operations, both need to grow by 50% just for revenue to remain constant, still a hard-to-swallow proposition for a growth-hungry shareholder base.</p><p>I don&#39;t believe that those buying the dip had enough time to analyze and study the company&#39;s revenue trends and drivers. Alibaba&#39;s fall was abrupt, accelerated by a brutal anti-monopoly crackdown that permanently changed the IT competitive landscape in favor of smaller peers. While new investors are showing courage in buying the dip, management is terrified, as reflected in merchant subsidies, which dragged net income 74% last quarter in an unsustainable attempt to maintain revenue and users.</p><p>Cash Flow And Share Buybacks</p><p>Fundamentally, Alibaba&#39;s business model is sound, generating lucrative, scalable operating cash flows that encouraged the e-commerce giant to extend a share buyback program last month. Alibaba&#39;s challenges stem from its inability to manage investors&#39; expectations. Historically, Alibaba attracted a growth-oriented shareholder base, and now that its core operations are maturing, management is finding it hard to communicate its transitionary state to shareholders. Investor presentations still market Alibaba as a growth company.</p><p>The problem is that many are falling for it. A few weeks ago, Kevin O&#39;Leary was touting his new Alibaba position, citing the growth potential of Chinese tech. Munger and O&#39;Leary are representative of this growth-hungry shareholder base.</p><p>How Loyal Is Softbank</p><p>SoftBank Group (OTCPK:SFTBY) owns about a third of Alibaba&#39;s share, rendering the Japanese financial giant its largest shareholder. Softbank is known for its risk-taking and support for emerging tech companies. However, its participation in early capital-raising cycles means the dollar-average price of its position is far less than ordinary investors. For example, in FQ4 2021, Softbank reported a $558 million gain on selling some Alibaba shares, despite the ticker&#39;s selloff.</p><p>Softbank is facing renewed capitalization issues. The Japanese lender might be forced to sell Alibaba stock, especially if shares tumble further after a potentially disappointing earnings release. One thing is for sure, and the current situation is testing Softbank&#39;s loyalty to Alibaba.</p><p>Summary</p><p>Alibaba is heading towards disastrous quarterly and end-of-year results in May.

I can't imagine a scenario where BABA delivers on its shareholder's high growth expectations.Charlie Munger sold half of his BABA shares, sensing the rough patch ahead.BABA's volatility will sure test the loyalty of Softbank, BABA's largest shareholder.Executive SummaryThis year, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) faces multiple revenue headwinds hampering its growth prospects. Management's growth initiatives have long-run potential but are too small to make a meaningful difference in the short and medium run. Alibaba's growth-oriented shareholder base will exacerbate a volatile market reaction over what we see as a disappointing earnings release in May.Investment ThesisNews of Charlie Mungersellingsignificant portions of his Alibaba position doesn't come as a surprise. My last two articles offered a rebuttal of The Daily Journal (DJCO) mogul's investment thesis touting Alibaba's shares on news media, citing competitive advantage, growth, and \"value for the dollar invested.\" Hearing him, I realized that his investment thesis needed updating and, more importantly, how oblivious Alibaba's investors are to its new realities.Until recently, Alibaba abused its market position to force merchants to sign exclusivity agreements, prohibiting them from marketing products on other platforms. What Charlie Munger thought was \"competitive advantage\" is, to a large extent, a monopoly that has come to an end after a brutal corruption and regulatory crackdown.Munger also mentions a \"higher value of a dollar invested\" in Alibaba than its US and European counterparts. This hypothesis was true six months ago, but today, there are many western tech companies trading at discounts after the growth-to-value rotation.Finally, the growth argument is also no longer helpful because of a maturing core segment and the low revenue base of growth drivers such as Cloud and the international market. The Q3 (December quarter) mediocre revenue growth mirrors these dynamics.Revenue TrendsAlibaba investors should prepare for volatile quarterly results this May. Realizing the rough patch ahead, Munger shrank his position, and you should consider doing the same. As always, be careful using leverage. Contrary to popular opinion, Alibaba is not necessarily at the bottom.Last month, growth-hungry shareholders weren't kind to the ticker after disappointing topline results, pushing shares to multi-year lows. Regardless of how much data and price multiples support your hypothesis, nothing can prevent shares from dipping again. Market prices are determined by supply and demand, and I believe there is a discrepancy between what Alibaba can deliver and what its shareholders expect in terms of growth.The company faces three main headwinds:Macro-economic challengesMaturing Chinese MarketRising CompetitionThe zero-COVID policy is squeezing China consumers, dragging down consumer confidence. Google \"China Lockdown,\" and you'll find chilling videos of desperate Chinese citizens struggling with lockdowns. In this video, Shanghai residents are heard screaming from their balconies in protest of the lockdowns, and they don't seem in the mood for shopping on Alibaba. Instead, they appear more concerned about increasing prices, lack of income, depleting savings, food shortages, and inadequate food rations. The economic environment is not accommodative for Alibaba to meet Wall Street's 33% 2022 revenue growth expectations.Alibaba Revenue Estimates(Seeking Alpha)Alibaba's macroeconomic challenges are the least of its troubles. One might argue that business cycles are temporary, similar to COVID policies, despite their short-term impact on this year's revenue. This would make a solid contrarian strategy, especially for those with a stomach to sit on losses for long periods of time, if it wasn't for the fundamental, long-term revenue disruption impacting Alibaba.The China e-commerce \"CEC\" segment constitutes 70% of Alibaba's revenue. Annual active users now stand at 937 million against a total population of 1.4 billion, with 260 million below the age of 15, pointing to a saturated market. Last quarter, CEC grew 7%, a disappointing figure given it includes inorganic growth from the Sun Art acquisition, mirroring demographic challenges facing its core segment.Management is trying to find growth in rural China. However, sales data from its competitor, Pinduoduo Inc. (PDD), which focuses on this market and posts 900 million annual active users, points to a weak purchasing power that is not enough to create meaningful growth.The same goes for cloud computing and international markets, which, together with rural China expansion, represent the company's official growth strategy. The Cloud and International Segment represent 8% and 7% of total revenue. For these segments to compensate for a 10% decrease in core operations, both need to grow by 50% just for revenue to remain constant, still a hard-to-swallow proposition for a growth-hungry shareholder base.I don't believe that those buying the dip had enough time to analyze and study the company's revenue trends and drivers. Alibaba's fall was abrupt, accelerated by a brutal anti-monopoly crackdown that permanently changed the IT competitive landscape in favor of smaller peers. While new investors are showing courage in buying the dip, management is terrified, as reflected in merchant subsidies, which dragged net income 74% last quarter in an unsustainable attempt to maintain revenue and users.Cash Flow And Share BuybacksFundamentally, Alibaba's business model is sound, generating lucrative, scalable operating cash flows that encouraged the e-commerce giant to extend a share buyback program last month. Alibaba's challenges stem from its inability to manage investors' expectations. Historically, Alibaba attracted a growth-oriented shareholder base, and now that its core operations are maturing, management is finding it hard to communicate its transitionary state to shareholders. Investor presentations still market Alibaba as a growth company.The problem is that many are falling for it. A few weeks ago, Kevin O'Leary was touting his new Alibaba position, citing the growth potential of Chinese tech. Munger and O'Leary are representative of this growth-hungry shareholder base.How Loyal Is SoftbankSoftBank Group (OTCPK:SFTBY) owns about a third of Alibaba's share, rendering the Japanese financial giant its largest shareholder. Softbank is known for its risk-taking and support for emerging tech companies. However, its participation in early capital-raising cycles means the dollar-average price of its position is far less than ordinary investors. For example, in FQ4 2021, Softbank reported a $558 million gain on selling some Alibaba shares, despite the ticker's selloff.Softbank is facing renewed capitalization issues. The Japanese lender might be forced to sell Alibaba stock, especially if shares tumble further after a potentially disappointing earnings release. One thing is for sure, and the current situation is testing Softbank's loyalty to Alibaba.SummaryAlibaba is heading towards disastrous quarterly and end-of-year results in May. I can't imagine a scenario where Alibaba delivers on its shareholder's high growth expectations. The Chinese economy, where Alibaba generates most of its income, struggles with rising COVID cases and rigid lockdown rules. The timing couldn't be worse for Alibaba, currently toiling with new regulations that stripped it from its \"competitive advantage.\" The core segment, i.e., China e-commerce, has reached maturity with 973 million users.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":225,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9014984606,"gmtCreate":1649585326725,"gmtModify":1676534534451,"author":{"id":"4093733899961700","authorId":"4093733899961700","name":"VKHO44","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9b9810fcdc352cbd5e450b0eb1053be7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4093733899961700","authorIdStr":"4093733899961700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What happens after this pandemic is over?","listText":"What happens after this pandemic is over?","text":"What happens after this pandemic is over?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9014984606","repostId":"2226520068","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2226520068","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1649560063,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2226520068?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-10 11:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Novavax Stock Dropped 23.6% This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2226520068","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The company is still waiting for the FDA to give Emergency Use Authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>What happened</h2><p>Shares of biotech company <b>Novavax</b> plummeted by 23.6% this week, according to data from S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.

It sunk to a new 52-week low of $56.80 in the early afternoon on Thursday.So whatIt's becoming clear that Novavax is falling behind its peers in its ongoing efforts to get an Emergency Use Authorization (EAU) for its COVID-19 vaccine to be used as a booster shot in the U.S.On March 29, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended the EUAs for the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines produced by Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech partnership to allow second booster shots to be given to individuals 50 and over and to people who are immunocompromised.Novavax's vaccine, NVX-CoV2373, is protein-based, not mRNA-based, and has been approved already in 35 countries, including Australia, Canada, Great Britain, and all of the members of the European Union -- but not in the U.S. The concern among investors is that by the time Novavax does get U.S. approval for its vaccine, the potential market for the shot here will have shrunk considerably.Part of the problem is that Novavax didn't complete its U.S. EAU request until Jan. 31.

Last year, thanks mostly to its COVID-19 vaccine, the company reported sales of $1.1 billion, up from $476 million in 2020.
