First, persistent unprofitability and sales growth challenges needs to be solved. Second, and related to the first challenge, Nio’s management needs to win back the market’s past high enthusiasm for NIO stock.</p><p>Shares have experienced more modest price declines this year compared to 2022. However, much like with profitability and growth, investor sentiment is trending in the wrong direction. This needs to be corrected, and fast.</p><p>Taking this into account, it’s not a mystery as to why the company seems to be pulling all the stops lately to fast-track a turnaround (more below). Yet while Nio’s top brass may be giving 110% to fix the issues hurting both the company and the stock, should you count on a big payoff for these efforts?</p><p>Not so fast, as I’ll explain below.</p><h2 id=\"id_2477021023\">NIO Stock, its Big Problems, and its Planned Big Solutions</h2><p>In its latest monthly deliveries report, Nio talked up a big game, touting 12.6% year-over-year deliveries growth for November, as well as stating that year-to-date sales were up 33.1% compared to January-November 2022. At first glance, these numbers seem reliable.</p><p>However, as <em>MarketWatch</em> reported that same day, these figures represented an underperformance compared to the company’s main China-based peers. The same “sounds good only on the surface” dynamic can also be said to apply with Nio’s latest quarterly results, which came out on Dec. 5.</p><p>Although results came in ahead of expectations, and NIO stock briefly surged following the release, the market quickly wised up. Adjusted net losses for the quarter ($542 million) were less than expected, but only slightly (forecasts called for adjusted net losses of $600 million).</p><p>Vehicle margins for Q3 2023 (11%) were much better than margins reported in Q2 (6.2%). They were still down on a year-over-year basis.</p><p>In short, the big same problems that have kept knocking NIO lower (underwhelming growth, heavy losses) have not gone away. Again, the company has big solutions in the works, yet these hardly guarantee a massive comeback lies ahead.</p><h2 id=\"id_3019235619\">Why Layoffs and a Spinoff May Not Save the Day</h2><p>Alongside the release of the latest deliveries and financial data, there’s been quite a bit of news lately with NIO stock regarding the company’s turnaround plans. First, after announcing last month plans to lay off 10% of its workforce, there are rumors that Nio is considering another round of layoffs.</p><p>Second, as <em>Reuters</em> reported in a Dec. 6 exclusive, the company may be pursuing another actions in its efforts to become profitable: spin off its battery segment. Nio refused to address the spin-off rumors, but this plan, along with past and potential layoffs, may reduce cash burn. Or will it?</p><p>Although cost cutting may enable Nio to report “less bad” results in subsequent quarters, don’t assume that these cuts mean a quick trip to profitability. Nio has previously noted that its cost reduction efforts could save it around 2 billion yuan next year. That’s around $280.4 million.</p><p>While nothing to sneeze at, such cost savings are well below the aforementioned big losses from last quarter alone. If that’s not bad enough, these aggressive cost-cutting measures may also worsen its competitive disadvantage.</p><h2 id=\"id_641445388\">The Verdict: Investor Patience Wears Thin</h2><p>Failing to plan is planning to fail, the saying goes, but just because Nio has formulated a turnaround plan doesn’t mean success will be a cinch. High competition in the Chinese EV space could continue to make it difficult for Nio to re-accelerate growth, as I have argued previously.</p><p>In fact, Nio’s possible pivot from free-spending to penny-pinching could make matters worse. While perhaps intending to cut the fat out of its operating expenses, it may be cutting bone and vital organs instead. Larger, better capitalized rivals could gain a greater edge.</p><p>At the same time Nio’s turnaround appears very questionable, the patience of investors keeps wearing thin. Sentiment for EV stocks across the board keeps turning bearish, as headwinds for the industry intensify globally.</p><p>With this, the verdict remains clear: continue to avoid NIO stock.</p><p>NIO stock earns a D rating in <em>Portfolio Grader</em>.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

However, much like with profitability and growth, investor sentiment is trending in the wrong direction. This needs to be corrected, and fast.Taking this into account, it’s not a mystery as to why the company seems to be pulling all the stops lately to fast-track a turnaround (more below). Yet while Nio’s top brass may be giving 110% to fix the issues hurting both the company and the stock, should you count on a big payoff for these efforts?Not so fast, as I’ll explain below.NIO Stock, its Big Problems, and its Planned Big SolutionsIn its latest monthly deliveries report, Nio talked up a big game, touting 12.6% year-over-year deliveries growth for November, as well as stating that year-to-date sales were up 33.1% compared to January-November 2022. At first glance, these numbers seem reliable.However, as MarketWatch reported that same day, these figures represented an underperformance compared to the company’s main China-based peers. The same “sounds good only on the surface” dynamic can also be said to apply with Nio’s latest quarterly results, which came out on Dec. 5.Although results came in ahead of expectations, and NIO stock briefly surged following the release, the market quickly wised up. Adjusted net losses for the quarter ($542 million) were less than expected, but only slightly (forecasts called for adjusted net losses of $600 million).Vehicle margins for Q3 2023 (11%) were much better than margins reported in Q2 (6.2%). They were still down on a year-over-year basis.In short, the big same problems that have kept knocking NIO lower (underwhelming growth, heavy losses) have not gone away. Again, the company has big solutions in the works, yet these hardly guarantee a massive comeback lies ahead.Why Layoffs and a Spinoff May Not Save the DayAlongside the release of the latest deliveries and financial data, there’s been quite a bit of news lately with NIO stock regarding the company’s turnaround plans. First, after announcing last month plans to lay off 10% of its workforce, there are rumors that Nio is considering another round of layoffs.Second, as Reuters reported in a Dec. 6 exclusive, the company may be pursuing another actions in its efforts to become profitable: spin off its battery segment. Nio refused to address the spin-off rumors, but this plan, along with past and potential layoffs, may reduce cash burn. Or will it?Although cost cutting may enable Nio to report “less bad” results in subsequent quarters, don’t assume that these cuts mean a quick trip to profitability. Nio has previously noted that its cost reduction efforts could save it around 2 billion yuan next year. That’s around $280.4 million.While nothing to sneeze at, such cost savings are well below the aforementioned big losses from last quarter alone. If that’s not bad enough, these aggressive cost-cutting measures may also worsen its competitive disadvantage.The Verdict: Investor Patience Wears ThinFailing to plan is planning to fail, the saying goes, but just because Nio has formulated a turnaround plan doesn’t mean success will be a cinch. High competition in the Chinese EV space could continue to make it difficult for Nio to re-accelerate growth, as I have argued previously.In fact, Nio’s possible pivot from free-spending to penny-pinching could make matters worse. While perhaps intending to cut the fat out of its operating expenses, it may be cutting bone and vital organs instead. Larger, better capitalized rivals could gain a greater edge.At the same time Nio’s turnaround appears very questionable, the patience of investors keeps wearing thin. Sentiment for EV stocks across the board keeps turning bearish, as headwinds for the industry intensify globally.With this, the verdict remains clear: continue to avoid NIO stock.NIO stock earns a D rating in Portfolio Grader.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":383,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":251529976291616,"gmtCreate":1702445916337,"gmtModify":1702445920752,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It will shoot to moon in 3Q2024.

In the last article, I concluded:</p><p>E-Commerce Growth Rate Acceleration: Despite facing challenges such as Covid-19 lockdowns, macro headwinds, competition, and increased regulation, Alibaba has maintained its position as a leading player in the Chinese retail e-commerce industry. Recent double-digit revenue growth in the Taobao and Tmall group is expected to be sustained over the next five years. Factors contributing to this growth include improved consumer sentiment, enhanced user behavior on Taobao and Tmall, and the success of value-for-money initiatives like Taobao deals. The company&#39;s adaptability was evident in Q2 2023, where revenue dramatically accelerated by 12%, showcasing its resilience and ability to navigate a competitive landscape.</p><p>New Structure: Alibaba&#39;s adoption of the &#34;1+6+N&#34; organizational structure is anticipated to accelerate revenue growth and enhance capital returns. The newfound flexibility granted to individual business leaders enables faster decision-making and strategic autonomy. This, coupled with the ability to raise capital independently, is expected to fuel growth. The improved incentives, including IPOs and external capital raises for each business, align with shareholder interests and foster a focus on increasing the market value of the business. The creation of a Capital Management Committee signals an ongoing commitment to consistent share buybacks, presenting a positive outlook for capital returns.</p><p>Cloud: Despite a temporary slowdown in growth rate, Alibaba Cloud has demonstrated resilience and maintained an average annual sales growth of 58% since 2014. The shift towards digitization in the Chinese economy presents a substantial growth opportunity for the cloud segment. Competitive advantages, including a comprehensive product offering and cost advantages from proprietary technologies, position Alibaba Cloud favorably. The company&#39;s focus on forming a full-stack product and technology leadership, especially in artificial intelligence, sets it apart from competitors. The recent leadership changes in the cloud unit, with Eddie Wu taking charge, signal a strategic shift towards AI and continued growth.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e4cfb00ff332146bfe575eb150ca934\" alt=\"Alibaba historical valuation (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Alibaba historical valuation (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"211\"/><span>Alibaba historical valuation (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>Alibaba is trading at its cheapest valuation, which I believe presents an attractive investment opportunity. The anticipated acceleration in e-commerce growth driven by a recovery of the Chinese economy, the implementation of a new corporate structure, and growth drivers including; Cainiao, AIDC and Alibaba Cloud contribute to the positive outlook. While risks, including competition and leadership changes, are acknowledged, the valuation provides a compelling risk/reward ratio for the company.</p><h2 id=\"id_3824073607\">Q3 update</h2><p>Alibaba Group delivered a strong performance in Q3 2023, reporting a revenue of RMB 224,790 million (US$30,810 million), marking a 9% YoY increase. Earnings per share (EPS) saw positive trends, with diluted earnings per ADS at RMB 10.77 (US$1.48), and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS increasing by 21% YoY to RMB 15.63 (US$2.14). Additionally, free cash flow surged by 27% YoY to RMB 45,220 million (US$6,198 million), highlighting Alibaba&#39;s financial resilience and operational efficiency. These results signify Alibaba&#39;s continued strength in the global market.</p><h2 id=\"id_3231516844\">Cloud Troubles</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef42c798cd738c2ea37f2bbf5c685777\" alt=\"Alibaba cloud quarterly revenue growth (Stratosphere.io)\" title=\"Alibaba cloud quarterly revenue growth (Stratosphere.io)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"255\"/><span>Alibaba cloud quarterly revenue growth (Stratosphere.io)</span></p><p>The biggest negative in the quarter came from Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Cloud&#39;s financial development reveals a mixed picture, characterised by slow revenue growth despite significant growth potential in the cloud computing industry. In Q3 2023, Alibaba Cloud&#39;s revenue was RMB27,648 million (US$3,789 million), a 2% increase compared to RMB27,035 million in the same quarter of 2022. Year-over-year revenue growth was mainly driven by Alibaba-consolidated businesses, while revenue excluding Alibaba-consolidated businesses slightly decreased year-over-year. This decrease was primarily due to the company&#39;s continued effort to improve revenue quality by reducing the revenue from project-based contracts with low margins. However, this decrease was mostly offset by the increase in revenue from public cloud products and services.</p><p>Despite the slow revenue growth, it&#39;s important to note that Alibaba Cloud has undertaken strategic initiatives to make computing more accessible and affordable. In Q1 2023, the company announced a new instance family providing stability and up to 40% cost savings, coupled with reductions in prices for core utility products by up to 50%. These moves are aimed at increasing public cloud adoption in China and leveraging AI technology for enterprises, indicating a forward-looking approach to market penetration. These actions have likely created a short-term headwind to revenue growth until Q1 2024 when the actions will be lapped.</p><p>Notably, the company highlights a strong demand for model training and AI services on cloud infrastructure, driven by the global surge of interest in artificial intelligence. Alibaba Cloud acknowledges near-term supply chain constraints but remains optimistic about the growth opportunities presented by AI services, considering it the beginning of a new era. The company emphasizes continued investments in forming a full-stack product and technology leadership across Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Model as a Service (MaaS) layers, differentiating itself from competitors in China.</p><p>The company recently showcased the upgraded version (2.0) of Alibaba&#39;s large language model, Tongyi Qianwen, with enhanced capabilities in understanding complex instructions, reasoning, memorization, and reducing hallucination. Eight vertical models tailored for specific industries, including finance and gaming, were introduced, along with functionalities like code generation and customer support.</p><p>Alibaba Cloud has fostered one of China&#39;s largest open-source AI developer communities, ModelScope, attracting over 2.8 million developers and accumulating 100 million model downloads. The company plans to contribute open-source versions of Tongyi Qianwen models to ModelScope, emphasizing collaborative AI development.</p><p>In terms of financial performance, Alibaba Cloud&#39;s adjusted EBITA experienced a robust year-over-year growth of 44%, reaching RMB1,409 million (US$193 million) in Q3 2023, compared to RMB981 million in the same quarter of 2022. This growth was attributed to improving product mix and operating efficiency. However, it&#39;s crucial to recognize that while income continues to grow faster than revenue, signaling operational efficiency and success in shifting its focus to more profitable contracts, this may not be sustainable in the long term. Alibaba Cloud acknowledges the need to achieve economies of scale for long-term operating benefits and profitability.</p><p>The departure of Cloud Head Daniel Zhang and the cancellation of the highly-anticipated IPO in Q3 raise questions about the strategic direction and challenges faced by Alibaba Cloud. The decision not to proceed with a full spin-off indicates a focus on developing a sustainable growth model for Cloud Intelligence Group amid uncertainties created by expanded U.S. export control rules on advanced computing chips. The overhaul of Alibaba Cloud&#39;s leadership, bringing in veterans to new positions, underscores the company&#39;s determination to tap into the booming artificial intelligence market.</p><p>In conclusion, while Alibaba Cloud faces challenges such as slow revenue growth and uncertainties in the regulatory landscape, the company remains proactive in addressing market dynamics, investing in technological leadership, and optimizing its operations. The implications of the CEO leaving and the canceled IPO suggest a period of strategic reassessment and potential restructuring as Alibaba Cloud navigates the evolving cloud computing landscape in China, despite this, Alibaba has maintained its strong market share suggesting the industry is dealing with slower growth, suggesting the problems are not solely with Alibaba.</p><h2 id=\"id_671541782\">Improved shareholder returns</h2><p>In March 2023, Alibaba Group announced a significant shift in its capital allocation strategy, adopting a &#34;1+6+N&#34; governance structure. This new structure aimed to enhance operational autonomy for individual business segments, improve shareholder returns, and promote the inception of innovative new businesses.</p><p>Under the new structure, Alibaba Group is now the holding company, overseeing six primary business segments: Cloud Intelligence, Taobao and Tmall, Local Services, Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group (AIDC), Cainiao Smart Logistics Network, and Digital Media and Entertainment. Each of these business segments has the flexibility to raise external capital and pursue its own initial public offering (IPO), except for Taobao Tmall Business Group, which remains wholly owned by Alibaba.</p><p>Alibaba&#39;s capital allocation philosophy is based on three key principles:</p><p><strong>1. Invest in technology &amp; innovation for growth.</strong> Alibaba will continue to invest heavily in research and development in order to maintain its competitive edge in the cloud computing and e-commerce industries.</p><p><strong>2. Reduce total shares outstanding to achieve accretive EPS.</strong> Alibaba will repurchase shares and pursue share buyback programs in order to reduce the number of shares outstanding and increase earnings per share (EPS).</p><p><strong>3. Reward long-term shareholders via an annual dividend.</strong> Alibaba will pay out a regular dividend to its shareholders in order to reward them for their investments in the company.</p><p>In Q3 2023, Alibaba took a number of actions to implement its new capital allocation strategy. These actions included:</p><p>First, Providing funding to AIDC Group for its expansion plans. Alibaba provided AIDC Group with US$1.7 billion in funding to support its expansion plans. This funding will help AIDC Group to grow its business and reach new markets.</p><p>Secondly, Repurchasing shares. Alibaba repurchased approximately 18.6 million ADSs (the equivalent of 148.4 million ordinary shares) for approximately US$1.7 billion under its share repurchase program. This repurchase of shares reduced the number of shares outstanding by 138.9 million ordinary shares (the equivalent of approximately 17.4 million ADSs) from last quarter.</p><p>Third, Announcing an annual cash dividend for fiscal year 2023. Alibaba&#39;s board of directors has approved an annual cash dividend for fiscal year 2023 in the amount of US$0.125 per ordinary share or US$1.00 per ADS. This dividend will be paid to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs as of the close of business on December 21, 2023. Although I&#39;d rather see an increase in the buyback, I still consider a dividend the second best use of capital. I believe the dividend will also help alleviate some fears of shareholder ownership through VIE structure.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac9ee4e5769c3ae2ccd423baa014b668\" alt=\"Alibaba annual ROCE (Stratosphere.io)\" title=\"Alibaba annual ROCE (Stratosphere.io)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"254\"/><span>Alibaba annual ROCE (Stratosphere.io)</span></p><p>The new capital allocation strategy appears to be having a positive impact on Alibaba&#39;s return on capital employed (ROCE). ROCE is a measure of how efficiently a company generates profits from its assets. In Q3 2023, Alibaba&#39;s ROCE was 9.5%, up from 6.7% in Q1 2021. This increase in ROCE is due to a number of factors, including the company&#39;s strong revenue growth, its focus on efficiency, and its improved working capital management.</p><h2 id=\"id_1282210633\">Conclusion</h2><p>In conclusion, the investment landscape for Alibaba presents a compelling bullish case despite the increasing competition in the Chinese e-commerce sector from PDD Holdings (PDD) and live-streaming companies, such as ByteDance. The resilience of this segment, outperforming key rival JD.com, underscores the enduring strength of Alibaba&#39;s market position.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58adc666f0fbe7440420736c37d91758\" alt=\"Quarterly revenue growth - BABA, JD, PDD (Stratosphere.io)\" title=\"Quarterly revenue growth - BABA, JD, PDD (Stratosphere.io)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"263\"/><span>Quarterly revenue growth - BABA, JD, PDD (Stratosphere.io)</span></p><p>While the cloud segment has faced challenges with slow growth and high management turnover, the recent appointment of veteran leaders instills confidence that Alibaba is poised to capitalize on the substantial growth opportunity in this space.</p><p>Notably, Alibaba&#39;s bets on Cainiao, international commerce, and various smaller ventures are paying off, contributing to robust revenue growth. The company&#39;s commitment to efficiency, enhanced shareholder returns, and a focus on innovation further positions Alibaba for long-term success.</p><p>despite strong fundamental performance, Alibaba&#39;s stock is currently at the lowest valuation in its history, presenting an opportune entry point for investors. This valuation, coupled with the company&#39;s solid fundamentals and strategic initiatives, sets the stage for potential outsized returns in the future.</p><p>In light of these factors, Alibaba emerges as an attractive investment choice, well-positioned to navigate challenges, capitalize on growth opportunities, and ultimately reward investors with sustained long-term value.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Competitive advantages, including a comprehensive product offering and cost advantages from proprietary technologies, position Alibaba Cloud favorably. The company's focus on forming a full-stack product and technology leadership, especially in artificial intelligence, sets it apart from competitors. The recent leadership changes in the cloud unit, with Eddie Wu taking charge, signal a strategic shift towards AI and continued growth.Alibaba historical valuation (Seeking Alpha)Alibaba is trading at its cheapest valuation, which I believe presents an attractive investment opportunity. The anticipated acceleration in e-commerce growth driven by a recovery of the Chinese economy, the implementation of a new corporate structure, and growth drivers including; Cainiao, AIDC and Alibaba Cloud contribute to the positive outlook. While risks, including competition and leadership changes, are acknowledged, the valuation provides a compelling risk/reward ratio for the company.Q3 updateAlibaba Group delivered a strong performance in Q3 2023, reporting a revenue of RMB 224,790 million (US$30,810 million), marking a 9% YoY increase. Earnings per share (EPS) saw positive trends, with diluted earnings per ADS at RMB 10.77 (US$1.48), and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS increasing by 21% YoY to RMB 15.63 (US$2.14). Additionally, free cash flow surged by 27% YoY to RMB 45,220 million (US$6,198 million), highlighting Alibaba's financial resilience and operational efficiency. These results signify Alibaba's continued strength in the global market.Cloud TroublesAlibaba cloud quarterly revenue growth (Stratosphere.io)The biggest negative in the quarter came from Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Cloud's financial development reveals a mixed picture, characterised by slow revenue growth despite significant growth potential in the cloud computing industry. In Q3 2023, Alibaba Cloud's revenue was RMB27,648 million (US$3,789 million), a 2% increase compared to RMB27,035 million in the same quarter of 2022. Year-over-year revenue growth was mainly driven by Alibaba-consolidated businesses, while revenue excluding Alibaba-consolidated businesses slightly decreased year-over-year. This decrease was primarily due to the company's continued effort to improve revenue quality by reducing the revenue from project-based contracts with low margins. However, this decrease was mostly offset by the increase in revenue from public cloud products and services.Despite the slow revenue growth, it's important to note that Alibaba Cloud has undertaken strategic initiatives to make computing more accessible and affordable. In Q1 2023, the company announced a new instance family providing stability and up to 40% cost savings, coupled with reductions in prices for core utility products by up to 50%. These moves are aimed at increasing public cloud adoption in China and leveraging AI technology for enterprises, indicating a forward-looking approach to market penetration. These actions have likely created a short-term headwind to revenue growth until Q1 2024 when the actions will be lapped.Notably, the company highlights a strong demand for model training and AI services on cloud infrastructure, driven by the global surge of interest in artificial intelligence. Alibaba Cloud acknowledges near-term supply chain constraints but remains optimistic about the growth opportunities presented by AI services, considering it the beginning of a new era. The company emphasizes continued investments in forming a full-stack product and technology leadership across Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Model as a Service (MaaS) layers, differentiating itself from competitors in China.The company recently showcased the upgraded version (2.0) of Alibaba's large language model, Tongyi Qianwen, with enhanced capabilities in understanding complex instructions, reasoning, memorization, and reducing hallucination. Eight vertical models tailored for specific industries, including finance and gaming, were introduced, along with functionalities like code generation and customer support.Alibaba Cloud has fostered one of China's largest open-source AI developer communities, ModelScope, attracting over 2.8 million developers and accumulating 100 million model downloads. The company plans to contribute open-source versions of Tongyi Qianwen models to ModelScope, emphasizing collaborative AI development.In terms of financial performance, Alibaba Cloud's adjusted EBITA experienced a robust year-over-year growth of 44%, reaching RMB1,409 million (US$193 million) in Q3 2023, compared to RMB981 million in the same quarter of 2022. This growth was attributed to improving product mix and operating efficiency. However, it's crucial to recognize that while income continues to grow faster than revenue, signaling operational efficiency and success in shifting its focus to more profitable contracts, this may not be sustainable in the long term. Alibaba Cloud acknowledges the need to achieve economies of scale for long-term operating benefits and profitability.The departure of Cloud Head Daniel Zhang and the cancellation of the highly-anticipated IPO in Q3 raise questions about the strategic direction and challenges faced by Alibaba Cloud. The decision not to proceed with a full spin-off indicates a focus on developing a sustainable growth model for Cloud Intelligence Group amid uncertainties created by expanded U.S. export control rules on advanced computing chips. The overhaul of Alibaba Cloud's leadership, bringing in veterans to new positions, underscores the company's determination to tap into the booming artificial intelligence market.In conclusion, while Alibaba Cloud faces challenges such as slow revenue growth and uncertainties in the regulatory landscape, the company remains proactive in addressing market dynamics, investing in technological leadership, and optimizing its operations. The implications of the CEO leaving and the canceled IPO suggest a period of strategic reassessment and potential restructuring as Alibaba Cloud navigates the evolving cloud computing landscape in China, despite this, Alibaba has maintained its strong market share suggesting the industry is dealing with slower growth, suggesting the problems are not solely with Alibaba.Improved shareholder returnsIn March 2023, Alibaba Group announced a significant shift in its capital allocation strategy, adopting a \"1+6+N\" governance structure. This new structure aimed to enhance operational autonomy for individual business segments, improve shareholder returns, and promote the inception of innovative new businesses.Under the new structure, Alibaba Group is now the holding company, overseeing six primary business segments: Cloud Intelligence, Taobao and Tmall, Local Services, Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group (AIDC), Cainiao Smart Logistics Network, and Digital Media and Entertainment. Each of these business segments has the flexibility to raise external capital and pursue its own initial public offering (IPO), except for Taobao Tmall Business Group, which remains wholly owned by Alibaba.Alibaba's capital allocation philosophy is based on three key principles:1. Invest in technology & innovation for growth. Alibaba will continue to invest heavily in research and development in order to maintain its competitive edge in the cloud computing and e-commerce industries.2. Reduce total shares outstanding to achieve accretive EPS. Alibaba will repurchase shares and pursue share buyback programs in order to reduce the number of shares outstanding and increase earnings per share (EPS).3. Reward long-term shareholders via an annual dividend. Alibaba will pay out a regular dividend to its shareholders in order to reward them for their investments in the company.In Q3 2023, Alibaba took a number of actions to implement its new capital allocation strategy. These actions included:First, Providing funding to AIDC Group for its expansion plans. Alibaba provided AIDC Group with US$1.7 billion in funding to support its expansion plans. This funding will help AIDC Group to grow its business and reach new markets.Secondly, Repurchasing shares. Alibaba repurchased approximately 18.6 million ADSs (the equivalent of 148.4 million ordinary shares) for approximately US$1.7 billion under its share repurchase program. This repurchase of shares reduced the number of shares outstanding by 138.9 million ordinary shares (the equivalent of approximately 17.4 million ADSs) from last quarter.Third, Announcing an annual cash dividend for fiscal year 2023. Alibaba's board of directors has approved an annual cash dividend for fiscal year 2023 in the amount of US$0.125 per ordinary share or US$1.00 per ADS. This dividend will be paid to holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs as of the close of business on December 21, 2023. Although I'd rather see an increase in the buyback, I still consider a dividend the second best use of capital. I believe the dividend will also help alleviate some fears of shareholder ownership through VIE structure.Alibaba annual ROCE (Stratosphere.io)The new capital allocation strategy appears to be having a positive impact on Alibaba's return on capital employed (ROCE). ROCE is a measure of how efficiently a company generates profits from its assets. In Q3 2023, Alibaba's ROCE was 9.5%, up from 6.7% in Q1 2021. This increase in ROCE is due to a number of factors, including the company's strong revenue growth, its focus on efficiency, and its improved working capital management.ConclusionIn conclusion, the investment landscape for Alibaba presents a compelling bullish case despite the increasing competition in the Chinese e-commerce sector from PDD Holdings (PDD) and live-streaming companies, such as ByteDance. The resilience of this segment, outperforming key rival JD.com, underscores the enduring strength of Alibaba's market position.Quarterly revenue growth - BABA, JD, PDD (Stratosphere.io)While the cloud segment has faced challenges with slow growth and high management turnover, the recent appointment of veteran leaders instills confidence that Alibaba is poised to capitalize on the substantial growth opportunity in this space.Notably, Alibaba's bets on Cainiao, international commerce, and various smaller ventures are paying off, contributing to robust revenue growth. The company's commitment to efficiency, enhanced shareholder returns, and a focus on innovation further positions Alibaba for long-term success.despite strong fundamental performance, Alibaba's stock is currently at the lowest valuation in its history, presenting an opportune entry point for investors. This valuation, coupled with the company's solid fundamentals and strategic initiatives, sets the stage for potential outsized returns in the future.In light of these factors, Alibaba emerges as an attractive investment choice, well-positioned to navigate challenges, capitalize on growth opportunities, and ultimately reward investors with sustained long-term value.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":737,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":251001475035416,"gmtCreate":1702287990729,"gmtModify":1702287994748,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nothing seems to work for BABA and JD.

Unfortunately, it is located on the other side of the world, in Hangzhou, China. It is exactly this aspect that I want to leverage in this article since the issues of this company are not about the business itself but about the country in which it resides. As you might have guessed, I am talking about the much-discussed Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).</p><h2 id=\"id_2600538427\">Context</h2><p>Before assessing the current situation, I think it is useful to give a brief recap of what has happened so far since November 2020, which is when Alibaba&#39;s meltdown began. In these three years, virtually everything has happened.</p><p>At the end of October 2020, there was great optimism around Alibaba and it was steadily trading around $280-$300 per share. At the time, it was pretty much done for the IPO of Ant Group, which is the company that owns the world&#39;s largest mobile payment platform, Alipay. Alibaba owns 33% of the group, so it had every interest in making the biggest IPO of all time go through. However, when everything seemed to be going right, some statements by Jack Ma about the Chinese financial system caught the attention of the Chinese authorities and after a few days, the IPO was cancelled. According to the authorities&#39; statements, the reason was that Ant Group&#39;s structure did not reflect the anti-monopoly rules. After years of turbulence, the worst seems to be behind us, but not without consequences:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Ant Group was fined $985 million, one of the highest fines ever imposed by Chinese regulators.</p></li><li><p>The ownership structure has been completely turned upside down: Jack Ma owned 53.46% of the voting shares, today only 6.20%. Thus, no shareholder, alone or in agreement with other parties, will have control.</p></li></ul><p>Overall, after these three years, Ant Group comes out weakened, and indirectly so does Alibaba. Be that as it may, this was only the first hiccup.</p><p>Following the suspension of the IPO, Chinese regulators fined the country&#39;s major big tech companies for antitrust violations: in 2021 Alibaba was fined $2.80 billion. In addition, a few months later, the company said it would participate in <em>common prosperity</em> initiatives by investing $15.50 billion through 2025. The goal was to benefit from the economic growth of the entire country:</p><blockquote><p><em>Alibaba is a beneficiary of the strong social and economic progress in China over the past 22 years. We firmly believe that if society is doing well and the economy is doing well, then Alibaba will do well.</em></p><p><em>Former Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang</em></p></blockquote><p>Needless to say, the market saw these investments as yet another fine to pay, and from that point on, the stock began to sink. Although by 2022 the fines were over, the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) in a downward trend was yet another excuse to fuel Alibaba&#39;s collapse. From $319 per share in October 2020 today the stock is trading at about $72 per share: an absolute disaster.</p><p>Coming to this point, after all this news, you may be wondering why Alibaba is a strong buy. The reason is that the current price per share is so low that in my opinion, it has already discounted the most negative scenario ever. Over the past three years, everything was a pretext to sell Alibaba and we have reached a point where it is really hard to make things worse. Making an analogy with the U.S. economy, this is Alibaba&#39;s 2008 and it is much easier to restart from here than to sink further.</p><p>At the moment the major problems with Chinese regulators are behind us, but I don&#39;t doubt that there may be new complications in the future, and that is what worries the market. While I understand investors&#39; concern, I also believe that one should not be overly pessimistic either. I doubt that it is in China&#39;s interest to destroy one of their best companies ever. Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) and PDD Holdings (PDD) have also been fined, but they have already made up some of the lost ground.</p><p>My impression is that sentiment is still extremely negative for Alibaba compared to the other Chinese big tech companies, which is why it will have to prove something more to attract investors. Still, it really took very little to go from being one of the best companies in the world to being one of the most avoided: Mr. Market is often too emotional.</p><h2 id=\"id_1220477199\">Analysis of the Chinese economy</h2><p>As already anticipated, since Alibaba&#39;s performance is affected by any news that has to do with China, I think the first thing to analyze is the macroeconomic environment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea6e9ffd14ac6e328b95d870f99a6636\" alt=\"World Bank\" title=\"World Bank\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"569\"/><span>World Bank</span></p><p>Since the mid-1960s China&#39;s economic growth has been unrestrained and GDP used to increase in double digits. Since 2010, year-on-year growth has slowed down but remains higher than European and U.S. growth. The Chinese government&#39;s goal is to grow on average between 4.50-5% per year, which has failed in recent years due to a number of issues.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The first was the pandemic. In China, the lockdowns lasted longer and were also much more stringent.</p></li><li><p>The second is that China&#39;s real estate market is facing a tough time, which is extremely relevant since it contributes about 30% of GDP. China&#39;s housing boom seems to have come to an end and is now paying for the excessive borrowing and construction done over the past decades. The population has stopped growing as it did in the past, and demand for new housing has dropped dramatically to the point where it has created ghost towns.</p></li></ul><p>The beginning of the real estate crisis dates back to 2021 when the China Evergrande Group (OTC:EGRNQ), once the second-largest real estate developer in the country, declared bankruptcy. Later, it was the turn of other prominent real estate developers such as Country Garden (OTCPK:CTRYF). In any case, we have been talking about this crisis for at least two years, and in my opinion, the Chinese equity market has already discounted this issue. This is nothing new.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b92b823c28ac1982fb4ffa0940a435a\" alt=\"Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis\" title=\"Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\"/><span>Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis</span></p><p>In fact, it has been since 2021 that the price of Chinese residential property has been plummeting, but as of mid-year, there seems to be a basis for a recovery. Proportionally, the slump in recent years has been greater than during the great financial crisis.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81dcc4209a4bb6b46695f1df06b401db\" alt=\"CEIC Data\" title=\"CEIC Data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"367\"/><span>CEIC Data</span></p><p>Moreover, taking a look at the average price of Chinese properties in RMB/sq m, after a violent slump starting in 2021, a new bullish trend has already begun since the beginning of the following year. In short, I believe that overall the worst of the real estate bubble has now already been discounted by the market and China has faced its 2008. We often forget that the Hang Seng (HSI) has collapsed more than 50% from its all-time high: how much further down can it go?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5af84d3249c1ec37ea03166164b3124e\" alt=\"GuruFocus\" title=\"GuruFocus\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"336\"/><span>GuruFocus</span></p><p>The median of the Hang Seng P/E ratio is 10.20x, today we are at only 7.80x, more than one standard deviation below. In the last 20 years hardly has this index been so depressed.</p><p>So, in addition to the problems with Chinese regulators, Alibaba&#39;s price per share has also been affected by the tightening of the Chinese economic environment, which is why I think it has also discounted a potential recession in China. In general, at current prices, I think the Chinese stock market is much more attractive than the U.S. stock market, and Alibaba is probably one of the companies that will benefit most from China&#39;s economic rebound.</p><p>While the United States is struggling with high interest rates, rising default rates, and banks reluctant to lend money, China is currently in the opposite situation: interest rates are declining and the Chinese government is also poised to increase fiscal spending.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f859051f8593bfa6dbdfaa9c074c823\" alt=\"TRADING ECONOMICS\" title=\"TRADING ECONOMICS\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"479\"/><span>TRADING ECONOMICS</span></p><p>The Prime Rate Loan has already decreased twice since the beginning of the year and China&#39;s budget deficit ratio will be raised to about 3.80% of GDP following the issuance of CNY 1 trillion sovereign bonds ($137 billion).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed44ccec7a7b6e21a3158b88a5bc687\" alt=\"YCharts\" title=\"YCharts\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"259\"/><span>YCharts</span></p><p>Since China is currently fighting deflation, I would not be surprised if rates were reduced further and fiscal spending increased. During the 2008 crisis, the Chinese government made immediate efforts to avoid a financial meltdown, and about two months after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy it had a stimulus package worth CNY 4 trillion ready.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b25f78185160015652a365cc8250ecd5\" alt=\"International Monetary Fund\" title=\"International Monetary Fund\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"192\"/><span>International Monetary Fund</span></p><p>Since China remains one of the main economic powers with the lowest debt-GDP ratio, about 77%, I expect that in case of a worse-than-expected real estate crisis, a decision will be made to increase economic stimulus: there is room to do so. Finally, at least for the time being, GDP growth estimates in 2023 and 2024 are sound, 5.20% and 4.10%, respectively.</p><p>In light of all these considerations, I believe that the Chinese stock market has already discounted the worst and as early as next year may begin its comeback. Typically, the market bottom is reached when the following conditions occur:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Pessimism is extreme.</p></li><li><p>There are deflationary pressures.</p></li><li><p>The government begins to stimulate the economy.</p></li><li><p>Interest rates fall.</p></li></ul><p>China currently meets all the conditions; the U.S. does not even have one since it is coming from years of strong expansion. Therefore, I would not be surprised if in 2024 the performance of these two countries is opposite: Hang Seng rising and S&amp;P500 declining.</p><p>Alibaba was among the hardest hit companies in the Hang Seng Index, so I expect it will be one of the companies to benefit the most when the trend reverses. After all, its fundamentals are still solid.</p><h2 id=\"id_832139716\">Alibaba is not dead</h2><p>When a company loses 77% in three years, we expect at the very least that its core business has been disrupted for the worse. Other times collapses of this magnitude raise assumptions of bankruptcy or permanent damage to the company. In the case of Alibaba, the company has simply encountered two years of stagnation after a decade of strong growth. Even the best companies in the world have difficult times to overcome: take a look at Apple between 2012 and 2014.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4211aefeb6a3498338bb03bd09c4da2b\" alt=\"Chart based on Seeking Alpha data\" title=\"Chart based on Seeking Alpha data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\"/><span>Chart based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>As we can see, until FY2021 growth never had any problems; they started the following year. As already widely discussed, pandemic, fines, and real estate crisis made FY2022 and FY2023 hell, and yet Alibaba came out with its head held high. The company in the last 12 months generated a net income of $18.16 billion, cash from operations of $29.21 billion, and revenues declined minimally. In addition, it should be noted that these figures were impacted by an unfavorable exchange rate effect. Since the Fed is implementing a restrictive monetary policy and China&#39;s central bank an expansionary monetary policy, the CNY/USD exchange rate has changed significantly. In any case, performance over the past 12 months has been significantly better than in FY2022 and FY2023, suggesting that a comeback is underway.</p><p>In particular, the first six months of FY2024 are showing improvement in all business segments.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45c739f0f03ceec0e5dc4c1c44b3d9c1\" alt=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" title=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"482\"/><span>Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results</span></p><p>Taobao and Tmall generated revenues of RMB 212.60 billion, up 8% from the previous year. This may seem like a slightly disappointing result, but one must consider the macroeconomic environment in which Alibaba is operating. It is not easy to grow during a deflationary period; in fact, even competitor JD (JD) has struggled.</p><p>International commerce had sensational growth, +47% or RMB 14.86 billion more than last year. This growth comes mainly from the retail segment. This is in my opinion a strong result and a proof of the ease with which Alibaba is expanding overseas through AliExpress.</p><p>Local Services, Digital media, and Cainiao all grew more than 20% over H1 FY2023.</p><p>Cloud had only 3% growth and generated revenues of RMB 52.71 billion; Alibaba continues to have the third largest cloud computing platform globally. The market did not take management&#39;s decision to give up the spinoff well, but I personally find it a correct choice. How much capital could Alibaba have gotten from a business segment growing at low-single digits today? For the time being, the focus is to get the Cloud growing again and only then to think about the IPO.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7fc17be9235ca0cf453892450ee58cca\" alt=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" title=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\"/><span>Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results</span></p><p>Anyway, in terms of profitability the Cloud has improved: compared to H1 FY2023 EBITA improved by 26%. Cainiao is no longer at a loss and Local Services and Digital Media have significantly reduced losses. Overall, income from operations improved by 52%.</p><p>In light of these results, it is clear that Alibaba is not a dying company contrary to what the price per share would have you believe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78fa259ec2337c1610a606e589f00301\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"262\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Street Estimates, despite pessimism toward this company, are in favor of steady growth in the future, albeit not at the same rate as in the past decade. After all, Alibaba today is a behemoth and logically cannot sustain the growth rates of the past.</p><p>Finally, the last aspect I would like to cover in this section is shareholder remuneration.</p><p>Alibaba has also officially become a dividend company since a dividend of $2.50 billion will be issued in 2024. The current dividend yield is very low, only 1.38%, but think of its growth potential. This company can easily generate an annual free cash flow of $30 billion over the next few years, so its growth rate could be substantial. The increase in dividend per share will be fueled by the huge buybacks that management is implementing. In the last quarter, treasury stock worth $1.70 billion was purchased and another $14.60 billion remains on hand.</p><p>Personally, on shareholder compensation, I slightly disagree with management&#39;s choices: that $2.50 billion I would have preferred if it had been used to increase the buyback. In any case, I understand that this choice was made more to attract new investors than anything else. I expect the buyback to be leveraged as much as possible at the current price.</p><h2 id=\"id_1380646998\">Valuation</h2><p>We came to the centerpiece of the article, which is the valuation of Alibaba. I have written hundreds of articles on Seeking Alpha but honestly, I have never found a company so undervalued. At the current price, Alibaba does not make sense and now I will explain why.</p><p>First of all, net debt is -$51.48 billion and free cash flow for the past 12 months was $24.51 billion (and Alibaba has not yet fully recovered). Subtracting net debt from the current market capitalization of $184 billion, in five and a half years free cash flow (assuming 0% growth) manages to cover the entire capitalization. For comparison, it is as if Apple (AAPL) were trading at $35 per share.</p><p>By creating a discounted cash flow model this undervaluation is even more evident. This model takes into account the following assumptions:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>2023-2028 free cash flow was calculated from previous Street Estimates and multiplied by the free cash flow margin for the last 12 months, 19.60%. From 2029-2032 I applied a CAGR of 5% and finally a perpetual growth rate of 2.50%.</p></li><li><p>The discount rate used is 12%. Using the CAPM the rate would have been under 10%, so to make my estimate more conservative I arbitrarily increased it.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5f5f5eab483f2bf0d63af89c745d285\" alt=\"Discounted cash flow\" title=\"Discounted cash flow\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"237\"/><span>Discounted cash flow</span></p><p>With these assumptions, Alibaba&#39;s fair value is $157.27 per share, more than double the current price. But there is more.</p><p>For the fair value to align with the current price, the RRR would have to be about 25%, effectively making Alibaba almost 10x in 10 years. Thus, investing $1,000 today in 2033 will become $10,000. Anyway, 10x or not, unless the financials are distorted (and I have no reason to believe that) at today&#39;s price Alibaba I think is a bargain, potentially the best in 2024.</p><p>With Alibaba, we can have fun making even the most absurd assumptions, but there is no way to make it overvalued.</p><p>Let&#39;s assume that all analysts are wrong and Alibaba will never grow again for some strange reason. So, the expected free cash flow in 2023 will have a growth rate of 0% and a perpetual growth rate of 0%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5f7ad8f76f4a13b9bda104bca587a5a\" alt=\"Discounted cash flow\" title=\"Discounted cash flow\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"/><span>Discounted cash flow</span></p><p>Again, Alibaba is undervalued since the fair value is $106.28 per share, a 47% difference from the current price. All this, still considering an RRR of 12%, is so quite high.</p><p>Let us now assume that Chinese regulators wake up one morning and decide for no reason to fine Alibaba $30 billion. Also, let us assume that the growth rate is -2% as well as the perpetual growth rate.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9647e566fe5b9a5e2ce6ab20df240030\" alt=\"Discounted cash flow\" title=\"Discounted cash flow\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"240\"/><span>Discounted cash flow</span></p><p>Once again, Alibaba is undervalued since its fair value would be $82.17 per share. In short, even in the face of a doomsday scenario, this company continues to be undervalued. Based on its financial results there is basically no way for it to be overvalued.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8dadb1c9a9c9192d47c4dde0aecb9f9a\" alt=\"TIKR.com\" title=\"TIKR.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>After all, this is to be expected given that its valuation ratios are incredibly low. No company with such high growth prospects and margins is trading at an NTM market cap/FCF of 7.26x; the same goes for the NTM P/E of 7.61x. Their average values since 2015 are 22.54x and 23.97x, respectively, 3 times as high as they are today.</p><h3 id=\"id_2857271186\">An unusual comparison</h3><p>With due differences, in terms of valuation, the current situation of Alibaba reminds me of that of Meta (META) last year. Since mid-2022, I started writing a series of strong buy articles on Meta even though the price kept collapsing. The rhetoric at the time was that Meta was wasting money on the Reality Labs segment and that no one was using Facebook anymore. That distorted perception of reality is what left many panicked investors without earnings. Even, staying on the Meta/Alibaba parallel, in one of my articles I hypothesized a 0% growth scenario for Meta, just as I did earlier with Alibaba.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a8e13113643f1ca6520c743fe04f74df\" alt=\"My article on Seeking Alpha\" title=\"My article on Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"411\"/><span>My article on Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Even then Meta was undervalued, yet the price collapsed another 50% before recovering all the lost ground in about a year. I also wrote strong buy articles when the price was around $100 per share, but at that point, pessimism was at its peak and few wanted to buy.</p><p>With these remarks, I do not want to create false hope since Meta and Alibaba are different companies, but I want to point out how in the market &#34;nonsense prices&#34; sometimes exist and can affect even established and internationally dominant companies. In my opinion, Alibaba&#39;s current price per share is completely irrational, just as Meta was at $90 per share. Sometimes the market takes big oversights, and when the numbers are on our side it may be the right time to take advantage of them.</p><h2 id=\"id_3107685505\">Risks and final considerations</h2><p>The fact that Alibaba seems undervalued based on its numbers does not necessarily mean that it will be a bargain and everyone should buy it. It is obvious that there are risks to be evaluated and, in this case, they are quite high given the potential returns.</p><p>Certainly, there is competition that could make future performance less rosy. JD is the main competitor, but when you invest in a Chinese company you have to do some different thinking. Typically, we are used to thinking that the competitors are just other companies, but in this case, there is mainly the Chinese authorities to factor in.</p><p>Chinese big tech companies do not have the same flexibility as Western ones and have to adhere to a set of rules designed for the common good. For example, previously we saw that Alibaba, in addition to being fined, decided to invest $15.50 billion in common prosperity out of thin air. Although wise, this choice seems rather questionable. Just imagine if Apple had done the same: shareholders would not have been happy.</p><p>So, investing in Alibaba means being aware that from one day to the next news could turn the company upside down and that shareholders will not always be put first. At the same time, however, you are buying a company that has no debt, generates $24 billion a year in free cash flow, and has a PE of about 8x. In other words, you must accept some compromises if you want to buy one of the best companies in the world at a ridiculous price: there are no free meals in finance. Finally, the extent of the real estate crisis within the country is still unknown, and this could lead the Chinese stock market to collapse further. In my estimation, even in the event of revenue decline Alibaba is undervalued, but this does not detract from the fact that the situation should be monitored.</p><p>In light of these considerations, it is clear that Alibaba is not an investment for everyone but only for those who believe in China&#39;s long-term growth without being influenced by the daily news. If you continually watch the performance of your portfolio and volatility scares you, Alibaba is the last company to invest in. Above all, you need some confidence in the Chinese government&#39;s choices and that it will not limit the growth of its big tech too much. The dividend issue could attract new investors, but even then, you need a long-term view since the dividend yield is still too low.</p><p>I realize that many people are not willing to accept that a company operates in such a complex environment, but as far as I am concerned Alibaba is so undervalued that I am willing to pass on it at $72 per share: I think the potential upside is definitely greater than the potential downside. Of course, one should not make the mistake of overweighting it within the portfolio. For the more risk-averse, it might make sense to consider some ETFs where Alibaba occupies one of the prominent positions. After all, China&#39;s goal is generalized growth and an ETF would greatly reduce specific risks while still remaining exposed to the country&#39;s growth. There is no right or wrong choice a priori, it all depends on how much you are willing to risk and what your goal is.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

free cash flow margin of 19.60%.5-year revenue growth of about 20%.Net debt of -$51.48 billion and market capitalization of only $184 billion.NTM Market Cap / Free Cash Flow of 7.26x; NTM Price / Normalized Earnings (P/E) of 7.61x.Probably, if this company was headquartered in New York now you would all run to buy it. Unfortunately, it is located on the other side of the world, in Hangzhou, China. It is exactly this aspect that I want to leverage in this article since the issues of this company are not about the business itself but about the country in which it resides. As you might have guessed, I am talking about the much-discussed Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).ContextBefore assessing the current situation, I think it is useful to give a brief recap of what has happened so far since November 2020, which is when Alibaba's meltdown began. In these three years, virtually everything has happened.At the end of October 2020, there was great optimism around Alibaba and it was steadily trading around $280-$300 per share. At the time, it was pretty much done for the IPO of Ant Group, which is the company that owns the world's largest mobile payment platform, Alipay. Alibaba owns 33% of the group, so it had every interest in making the biggest IPO of all time go through. However, when everything seemed to be going right, some statements by Jack Ma about the Chinese financial system caught the attention of the Chinese authorities and after a few days, the IPO was cancelled. According to the authorities' statements, the reason was that Ant Group's structure did not reflect the anti-monopoly rules. After years of turbulence, the worst seems to be behind us, but not without consequences:Ant Group was fined $985 million, one of the highest fines ever imposed by Chinese regulators.The ownership structure has been completely turned upside down: Jack Ma owned 53.46% of the voting shares, today only 6.20%. Thus, no shareholder, alone or in agreement with other parties, will have control.Overall, after these three years, Ant Group comes out weakened, and indirectly so does Alibaba. Be that as it may, this was only the first hiccup.Following the suspension of the IPO, Chinese regulators fined the country's major big tech companies for antitrust violations: in 2021 Alibaba was fined $2.80 billion. In addition, a few months later, the company said it would participate in common prosperity initiatives by investing $15.50 billion through 2025. The goal was to benefit from the economic growth of the entire country:Alibaba is a beneficiary of the strong social and economic progress in China over the past 22 years. We firmly believe that if society is doing well and the economy is doing well, then Alibaba will do well.Former Alibaba CEO Daniel ZhangNeedless to say, the market saw these investments as yet another fine to pay, and from that point on, the stock began to sink. Although by 2022 the fines were over, the S&P 500 (SP500) in a downward trend was yet another excuse to fuel Alibaba's collapse. From $319 per share in October 2020 today the stock is trading at about $72 per share: an absolute disaster.Coming to this point, after all this news, you may be wondering why Alibaba is a strong buy. The reason is that the current price per share is so low that in my opinion, it has already discounted the most negative scenario ever. Over the past three years, everything was a pretext to sell Alibaba and we have reached a point where it is really hard to make things worse. Making an analogy with the U.S. economy, this is Alibaba's 2008 and it is much easier to restart from here than to sink further.At the moment the major problems with Chinese regulators are behind us, but I don't doubt that there may be new complications in the future, and that is what worries the market. While I understand investors' concern, I also believe that one should not be overly pessimistic either. I doubt that it is in China's interest to destroy one of their best companies ever. Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) and PDD Holdings (PDD) have also been fined, but they have already made up some of the lost ground.My impression is that sentiment is still extremely negative for Alibaba compared to the other Chinese big tech companies, which is why it will have to prove something more to attract investors. Still, it really took very little to go from being one of the best companies in the world to being one of the most avoided: Mr. Market is often too emotional.Analysis of the Chinese economyAs already anticipated, since Alibaba's performance is affected by any news that has to do with China, I think the first thing to analyze is the macroeconomic environment.World BankSince the mid-1960s China's economic growth has been unrestrained and GDP used to increase in double digits. Since 2010, year-on-year growth has slowed down but remains higher than European and U.S. growth. The Chinese government's goal is to grow on average between 4.50-5% per year, which has failed in recent years due to a number of issues.The first was the pandemic. In China, the lockdowns lasted longer and were also much more stringent.The second is that China's real estate market is facing a tough time, which is extremely relevant since it contributes about 30% of GDP. China's housing boom seems to have come to an end and is now paying for the excessive borrowing and construction done over the past decades. The population has stopped growing as it did in the past, and demand for new housing has dropped dramatically to the point where it has created ghost towns.The beginning of the real estate crisis dates back to 2021 when the China Evergrande Group (OTC:EGRNQ), once the second-largest real estate developer in the country, declared bankruptcy. Later, it was the turn of other prominent real estate developers such as Country Garden (OTCPK:CTRYF). In any case, we have been talking about this crisis for at least two years, and in my opinion, the Chinese equity market has already discounted this issue. This is nothing new.Federal Reserve Bank of St. LouisIn fact, it has been since 2021 that the price of Chinese residential property has been plummeting, but as of mid-year, there seems to be a basis for a recovery. Proportionally, the slump in recent years has been greater than during the great financial crisis.CEIC DataMoreover, taking a look at the average price of Chinese properties in RMB/sq m, after a violent slump starting in 2021, a new bullish trend has already begun since the beginning of the following year. In short, I believe that overall the worst of the real estate bubble has now already been discounted by the market and China has faced its 2008. We often forget that the Hang Seng (HSI) has collapsed more than 50% from its all-time high: how much further down can it go?GuruFocusThe median of the Hang Seng P/E ratio is 10.20x, today we are at only 7.80x, more than one standard deviation below. In the last 20 years hardly has this index been so depressed.So, in addition to the problems with Chinese regulators, Alibaba's price per share has also been affected by the tightening of the Chinese economic environment, which is why I think it has also discounted a potential recession in China. In general, at current prices, I think the Chinese stock market is much more attractive than the U.S. stock market, and Alibaba is probably one of the companies that will benefit most from China's economic rebound.While the United States is struggling with high interest rates, rising default rates, and banks reluctant to lend money, China is currently in the opposite situation: interest rates are declining and the Chinese government is also poised to increase fiscal spending.TRADING ECONOMICSThe Prime Rate Loan has already decreased twice since the beginning of the year and China's budget deficit ratio will be raised to about 3.80% of GDP following the issuance of CNY 1 trillion sovereign bonds ($137 billion).YChartsSince China is currently fighting deflation, I would not be surprised if rates were reduced further and fiscal spending increased. During the 2008 crisis, the Chinese government made immediate efforts to avoid a financial meltdown, and about two months after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy it had a stimulus package worth CNY 4 trillion ready.International Monetary FundSince China remains one of the main economic powers with the lowest debt-GDP ratio, about 77%, I expect that in case of a worse-than-expected real estate crisis, a decision will be made to increase economic stimulus: there is room to do so. Finally, at least for the time being, GDP growth estimates in 2023 and 2024 are sound, 5.20% and 4.10%, respectively.In light of all these considerations, I believe that the Chinese stock market has already discounted the worst and as early as next year may begin its comeback. Typically, the market bottom is reached when the following conditions occur:Pessimism is extreme.There are deflationary pressures.The government begins to stimulate the economy.Interest rates fall.China currently meets all the conditions; the U.S. does not even have one since it is coming from years of strong expansion. Therefore, I would not be surprised if in 2024 the performance of these two countries is opposite: Hang Seng rising and S&P500 declining.Alibaba was among the hardest hit companies in the Hang Seng Index, so I expect it will be one of the companies to benefit the most when the trend reverses. After all, its fundamentals are still solid.Alibaba is not deadWhen a company loses 77% in three years, we expect at the very least that its core business has been disrupted for the worse. Other times collapses of this magnitude raise assumptions of bankruptcy or permanent damage to the company. In the case of Alibaba, the company has simply encountered two years of stagnation after a decade of strong growth. Even the best companies in the world have difficult times to overcome: take a look at Apple between 2012 and 2014.Chart based on Seeking Alpha dataAs we can see, until FY2021 growth never had any problems; they started the following year. As already widely discussed, pandemic, fines, and real estate crisis made FY2022 and FY2023 hell, and yet Alibaba came out with its head held high. The company in the last 12 months generated a net income of $18.16 billion, cash from operations of $29.21 billion, and revenues declined minimally. In addition, it should be noted that these figures were impacted by an unfavorable exchange rate effect. Since the Fed is implementing a restrictive monetary policy and China's central bank an expansionary monetary policy, the CNY/USD exchange rate has changed significantly. In any case, performance over the past 12 months has been significantly better than in FY2022 and FY2023, suggesting that a comeback is underway.In particular, the first six months of FY2024 are showing improvement in all business segments.Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 ResultsTaobao and Tmall generated revenues of RMB 212.60 billion, up 8% from the previous year. This may seem like a slightly disappointing result, but one must consider the macroeconomic environment in which Alibaba is operating. It is not easy to grow during a deflationary period; in fact, even competitor JD (JD) has struggled.International commerce had sensational growth, +47% or RMB 14.86 billion more than last year. This growth comes mainly from the retail segment. This is in my opinion a strong result and a proof of the ease with which Alibaba is expanding overseas through AliExpress.Local Services, Digital media, and Cainiao all grew more than 20% over H1 FY2023.Cloud had only 3% growth and generated revenues of RMB 52.71 billion; Alibaba continues to have the third largest cloud computing platform globally. The market did not take management's decision to give up the spinoff well, but I personally find it a correct choice. How much capital could Alibaba have gotten from a business segment growing at low-single digits today? For the time being, the focus is to get the Cloud growing again and only then to think about the IPO.Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 ResultsAnyway, in terms of profitability the Cloud has improved: compared to H1 FY2023 EBITA improved by 26%. Cainiao is no longer at a loss and Local Services and Digital Media have significantly reduced losses. Overall, income from operations improved by 52%.In light of these results, it is clear that Alibaba is not a dying company contrary to what the price per share would have you believe.Seeking AlphaStreet Estimates, despite pessimism toward this company, are in favor of steady growth in the future, albeit not at the same rate as in the past decade. After all, Alibaba today is a behemoth and logically cannot sustain the growth rates of the past.Finally, the last aspect I would like to cover in this section is shareholder remuneration.Alibaba has also officially become a dividend company since a dividend of $2.50 billion will be issued in 2024. The current dividend yield is very low, only 1.38%, but think of its growth potential. This company can easily generate an annual free cash flow of $30 billion over the next few years, so its growth rate could be substantial. The increase in dividend per share will be fueled by the huge buybacks that management is implementing. In the last quarter, treasury stock worth $1.70 billion was purchased and another $14.60 billion remains on hand.Personally, on shareholder compensation, I slightly disagree with management's choices: that $2.50 billion I would have preferred if it had been used to increase the buyback. In any case, I understand that this choice was made more to attract new investors than anything else. I expect the buyback to be leveraged as much as possible at the current price.ValuationWe came to the centerpiece of the article, which is the valuation of Alibaba. I have written hundreds of articles on Seeking Alpha but honestly, I have never found a company so undervalued. At the current price, Alibaba does not make sense and now I will explain why.First of all, net debt is -$51.48 billion and free cash flow for the past 12 months was $24.51 billion (and Alibaba has not yet fully recovered). Subtracting net debt from the current market capitalization of $184 billion, in five and a half years free cash flow (assuming 0% growth) manages to cover the entire capitalization. For comparison, it is as if Apple (AAPL) were trading at $35 per share.By creating a discounted cash flow model this undervaluation is even more evident. This model takes into account the following assumptions:2023-2028 free cash flow was calculated from previous Street Estimates and multiplied by the free cash flow margin for the last 12 months, 19.60%. From 2029-2032 I applied a CAGR of 5% and finally a perpetual growth rate of 2.50%.The discount rate used is 12%. Using the CAPM the rate would have been under 10%, so to make my estimate more conservative I arbitrarily increased it.Discounted cash flowWith these assumptions, Alibaba's fair value is $157.27 per share, more than double the current price. But there is more.For the fair value to align with the current price, the RRR would have to be about 25%, effectively making Alibaba almost 10x in 10 years. Thus, investing $1,000 today in 2033 will become $10,000. Anyway, 10x or not, unless the financials are distorted (and I have no reason to believe that) at today's price Alibaba I think is a bargain, potentially the best in 2024.With Alibaba, we can have fun making even the most absurd assumptions, but there is no way to make it overvalued.Let's assume that all analysts are wrong and Alibaba will never grow again for some strange reason. So, the expected free cash flow in 2023 will have a growth rate of 0% and a perpetual growth rate of 0%.Discounted cash flowAgain, Alibaba is undervalued since the fair value is $106.28 per share, a 47% difference from the current price. All this, still considering an RRR of 12%, is so quite high.Let us now assume that Chinese regulators wake up one morning and decide for no reason to fine Alibaba $30 billion. Also, let us assume that the growth rate is -2% as well as the perpetual growth rate.Discounted cash flowOnce again, Alibaba is undervalued since its fair value would be $82.17 per share. In short, even in the face of a doomsday scenario, this company continues to be undervalued. Based on its financial results there is basically no way for it to be overvalued.TIKR.comAfter all, this is to be expected given that its valuation ratios are incredibly low. No company with such high growth prospects and margins is trading at an NTM market cap/FCF of 7.26x; the same goes for the NTM P/E of 7.61x. Their average values since 2015 are 22.54x and 23.97x, respectively, 3 times as high as they are today.An unusual comparisonWith due differences, in terms of valuation, the current situation of Alibaba reminds me of that of Meta (META) last year. Since mid-2022, I started writing a series of strong buy articles on Meta even though the price kept collapsing. The rhetoric at the time was that Meta was wasting money on the Reality Labs segment and that no one was using Facebook anymore. That distorted perception of reality is what left many panicked investors without earnings. Even, staying on the Meta/Alibaba parallel, in one of my articles I hypothesized a 0% growth scenario for Meta, just as I did earlier with Alibaba.My article on Seeking AlphaEven then Meta was undervalued, yet the price collapsed another 50% before recovering all the lost ground in about a year. I also wrote strong buy articles when the price was around $100 per share, but at that point, pessimism was at its peak and few wanted to buy.With these remarks, I do not want to create false hope since Meta and Alibaba are different companies, but I want to point out how in the market \"nonsense prices\" sometimes exist and can affect even established and internationally dominant companies. In my opinion, Alibaba's current price per share is completely irrational, just as Meta was at $90 per share. Sometimes the market takes big oversights, and when the numbers are on our side it may be the right time to take advantage of them.Risks and final considerationsThe fact that Alibaba seems undervalued based on its numbers does not necessarily mean that it will be a bargain and everyone should buy it. It is obvious that there are risks to be evaluated and, in this case, they are quite high given the potential returns.Certainly, there is competition that could make future performance less rosy. JD is the main competitor, but when you invest in a Chinese company you have to do some different thinking. Typically, we are used to thinking that the competitors are just other companies, but in this case, there is mainly the Chinese authorities to factor in.Chinese big tech companies do not have the same flexibility as Western ones and have to adhere to a set of rules designed for the common good. For example, previously we saw that Alibaba, in addition to being fined, decided to invest $15.50 billion in common prosperity out of thin air. Although wise, this choice seems rather questionable. Just imagine if Apple had done the same: shareholders would not have been happy.So, investing in Alibaba means being aware that from one day to the next news could turn the company upside down and that shareholders will not always be put first. At the same time, however, you are buying a company that has no debt, generates $24 billion a year in free cash flow, and has a PE of about 8x. In other words, you must accept some compromises if you want to buy one of the best companies in the world at a ridiculous price: there are no free meals in finance. Finally, the extent of the real estate crisis within the country is still unknown, and this could lead the Chinese stock market to collapse further. In my estimation, even in the event of revenue decline Alibaba is undervalued, but this does not detract from the fact that the situation should be monitored.In light of these considerations, it is clear that Alibaba is not an investment for everyone but only for those who believe in China's long-term growth without being influenced by the daily news. If you continually watch the performance of your portfolio and volatility scares you, Alibaba is the last company to invest in. Above all, you need some confidence in the Chinese government's choices and that it will not limit the growth of its big tech too much. The dividend issue could attract new investors, but even then, you need a long-term view since the dividend yield is still too low.I realize that many people are not willing to accept that a company operates in such a complex environment, but as far as I am concerned Alibaba is so undervalued that I am willing to pass on it at $72 per share: I think the potential upside is definitely greater than the potential downside. Of course, one should not make the mistake of overweighting it within the portfolio. For the more risk-averse, it might make sense to consider some ETFs where Alibaba occupies one of the prominent positions. After all, China's goal is generalized growth and an ETF would greatly reduce specific risks while still remaining exposed to the country's growth. There is no right or wrong choice a priori, it all depends on how much you are willing to risk and what your goal is.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":722,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3570103090255456","authorId":"3570103090255456","name":"JC888","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f3e3c0218599fca5c4e265ddbee1fb32","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3570103090255456","authorIdStr":"3570103090255456"},"content":"Same...

While I understand that the risks of investing in Chinese stocks in general and in Alibaba are inherently risky due to massive political risks and headwinds in the macro economy, I believe the stock is too cheap at the moment. In my opinion, the sell-off after the cancellation of the restructuring plans was the market&#39;s overreaction. My valuation analysis under very conservative assumptions suggests that the stock is more than 60% undervalued. From a fundamental perspective, Alibaba is a high-quality business that is well-positioned to absorb multiple positive tailwinds. Overall, I believe the current stock price provides a good investing opportunity and I assign BABA a &#34;Strong Buy&#34; rating.</p><h2 id=\"id_1505036418\">Recent developments</h2><p>BABA released its latest quarterly earnings on November 16, when the company topped consensus estimates. Revenue increased by 7.2% YoY, and the adjusted EPS expanded notably. The EPS strength was ensured by robust operating leverage as the operating margin expanded YoY from 12.13% to 14.94%.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c941106fe94c77d125c689ab584022e2\" tg-width=\"579\" tg-height=\"205\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>The strong operating performance allowed BABA to generate $5.8 billion in levered free cash flow [FCF], and the company continued to improve its balance sheet. As of the latest reporting date, Alibaba had almost $79 billion in outstanding cash, around three times higher than the total debt. Liquidity metrics are also stellar. Alibaba&#39;s fortress financial position makes the company well-positioned to fuel growth and innovation.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a284e43be3c40ffea44281297823c943\" tg-width=\"417\" tg-height=\"426\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>Despite delivering strong quarterly performance, the stock price declined by more than ten percent in one day after the earnings release went live. The reason for investors&#39; disappointment is after the announcement that the company&#39;s plans to spin out BABA&#39;s cloud computing division were canceled. The plans to restructure the business were shared by Alibaba in March 2023, and it met a lot of optimism from investors as it was expected that the cloud-business spin-off would help it to be more flexible in the constantly evolving environment. I think this was the market&#39;s overreaction as the stock price dipped below the early March 2023 levels.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dad1eecc9e4d1bd36921102a673713ac\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"285\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>The earnings release for the upcoming quarter is scheduled for February 22, 2024.

Profitability is also poised to expand by 17% YoY, another bullish sign. I think that positive earnings expectations are fair, given that the company is well-exposed to several of the hottest technological shifts, like e-commerce, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence [AI]. According to statista.com, the Chinese e-commerce market is expected to compound at 10% annually over the next five years, which is a solid tailwind for Alibaba&#39;s core business.</p><p>Alibaba is well behind the American technological hyper scalers in the cloud infrastructure global market share, but 4% of the global market is still a substantial share of the big pie. Being by far the leading cloud company outside the U.S. makes Alibaba well-exposed to capitalize on the 13% cloud market CAGR up to 2030.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/addea684b36d8d6b4a589c7812cde5a4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"374\"/></p><p>statista.com</p><p>Having vast amounts of data accumulated by Alibaba&#39;s diversified set of businesses also makes the company well-positioned in the AI and machine learning [ML] fields. For example, data from e-commerce transactions can provide insights into consumer preferences and market dynamics, while financial data can be leveraged for risk analysis and fraud detection. This multifaceted dataset creates a holistic view of various aspects of business and consumer activities.</p><h2 id=\"id_3388908284\">BABA stock valuation</h2><p>BABA tanked by 21% year-to-date, underperforming both the broader U.S. stock market and the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEMA\">iShares</a> MSCI China ETF (MCHI). Seeking Alpha Quant assigns Alibaba&#39;s stock a high &#34;B+&#34; valuation grade because the ratios are significantly lower than historical averages and the sector median. From the valuation multiples perspective, BABA looks substantially undervalued.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/252c809541cb9a974deb377961429bd1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"500\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>I want to proceed with the discounted cash flow [DCF] simulation. I use a high 15% WACC due to inherently high political and geopolitical risks for all Chinese public companies listed in the U.S. I use a very conservative assumption that the FCF margin will be flat at 10.8%, which is the current TTM level. I have revenue consensus estimates available up to FY 2029 and forecast a 5% CAGR for the years beyond. As a result of the combination of consensus estimates and my long-term revenue growth projection, the revenue CAGR for the next decade is 6.2%, which is very conservative.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbe9842c502663c20e1355a0136213a8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"250\"/></p><p>Author&#39;s calculations</p><p>According to my DCF simulation, the business&#39;s fair value is approximately $310 billion. This is 64% higher than the current market cap, indicating a massive upside potential. That said, my target price for BABA is $120.</p><h2 id=\"id_1318581181\">Risks of investing in BABA stock</h2><p>As my analysis suggests, the current Alibaba&#39;s stock price is far from underlying fundamentals, which keep improving. It is well-known that investors&#39; sentiment prevails over fundamentals in the short-term perspective. However, Alibaba&#39;s stock price seems to be in a secular decline because it has been falling for over three years with temporary short-term bounces. Investor&#39;s fears started when the company&#39;s iconic founder, Jack Ma, suddenly disappeared in late 2020 after publicly criticizing the Chinese government. Subsequently, the company underwent multiple restructurings due to regulatory interventions by the Chinese government. I believe these events contribute significantly to the persistently negative sentiment among investors towards BABA. That said, there is a high level of uncertainty regarding the timing of the sentiment pivot towards Alibaba stock.</p><p>Uncertainties regarding the Chinese economy are also a substantial risk for one of its largest companies. The real estate sector, a cornerstone of any economy, is in a &#34;slow-motion&#34; crisis. The real estate boom was one of the main drivers that fueled the Chinese economic miracle, and difficulties in the sector apparently weighed on the broader economy&#39;s growth. Apart from this, let us also not underestimate the potential adverse effect on the economy of the demographic shifts. That said, despite having strong secular technological tailwinds, Alibaba also faces macro headwinds.</p><h2 id=\"id_887506278\">Bottom line</h2><p>To conclude, Alibaba is a &#34;Strong Buy&#34; at the current stock price level. The risks of investing in BABA are substantial, but I believe the upside potential far outweighs all the uncertainties. The company is fundamentally strong, and its balance sheet positions Alibaba strategically to continue investing in growth and innovation. I agree with bright consensus revenue and EPS forecasts as the company is well exposed to the hottest technological trends within industries expected to compound double digits in the next decade.</p><p>Editor&#39;s Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

While I understand that the risks of investing in Chinese stocks in general and in Alibaba are inherently risky due to massive political risks and headwinds in the macro economy, I believe the stock is too cheap at the moment. In my opinion, the sell-off after the cancellation of the restructuring plans was the market's overreaction. My valuation analysis under very conservative assumptions suggests that the stock is more than 60% undervalued. From a fundamental perspective, Alibaba is a high-quality business that is well-positioned to absorb multiple positive tailwinds. Overall, I believe the current stock price provides a good investing opportunity and I assign BABA a \"Strong Buy\" rating.Recent developmentsBABA released its latest quarterly earnings on November 16, when the company topped consensus estimates. Revenue increased by 7.2% YoY, and the adjusted EPS expanded notably. The EPS strength was ensured by robust operating leverage as the operating margin expanded YoY from 12.13% to 14.94%.Seeking AlphaThe strong operating performance allowed BABA to generate $5.8 billion in levered free cash flow [FCF], and the company continued to improve its balance sheet. As of the latest reporting date, Alibaba had almost $79 billion in outstanding cash, around three times higher than the total debt. Liquidity metrics are also stellar. Alibaba's fortress financial position makes the company well-positioned to fuel growth and innovation.Seeking AlphaDespite delivering strong quarterly performance, the stock price declined by more than ten percent in one day after the earnings release went live. The reason for investors' disappointment is after the announcement that the company's plans to spin out BABA's cloud computing division were canceled. The plans to restructure the business were shared by Alibaba in March 2023, and it met a lot of optimism from investors as it was expected that the cloud-business spin-off would help it to be more flexible in the constantly evolving environment. I think this was the market's overreaction as the stock price dipped below the early March 2023 levels.Seeking AlphaThe earnings release for the upcoming quarter is scheduled for February 22, 2024. Quarterly revenue is expected by consensus at $37.74 billion, which indicates a 5% YoY increase. The adjusted EPS is expected to stay flat at $2.79.Seeking AlphaFor the full fiscal 2024, consensus estimates forecast an 8.6% YoY growth, which is solid. Profitability is also poised to expand by 17% YoY, another bullish sign. I think that positive earnings expectations are fair, given that the company is well-exposed to several of the hottest technological shifts, like e-commerce, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence [AI]. According to statista.com, the Chinese e-commerce market is expected to compound at 10% annually over the next five years, which is a solid tailwind for Alibaba's core business.Alibaba is well behind the American technological hyper scalers in the cloud infrastructure global market share, but 4% of the global market is still a substantial share of the big pie. Being by far the leading cloud company outside the U.S. makes Alibaba well-exposed to capitalize on the 13% cloud market CAGR up to 2030.statista.comHaving vast amounts of data accumulated by Alibaba's diversified set of businesses also makes the company well-positioned in the AI and machine learning [ML] fields. For example, data from e-commerce transactions can provide insights into consumer preferences and market dynamics, while financial data can be leveraged for risk analysis and fraud detection. This multifaceted dataset creates a holistic view of various aspects of business and consumer activities.BABA stock valuationBABA tanked by 21% year-to-date, underperforming both the broader U.S. stock market and the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI). Seeking Alpha Quant assigns Alibaba's stock a high \"B+\" valuation grade because the ratios are significantly lower than historical averages and the sector median. From the valuation multiples perspective, BABA looks substantially undervalued.Seeking AlphaI want to proceed with the discounted cash flow [DCF] simulation. I use a high 15% WACC due to inherently high political and geopolitical risks for all Chinese public companies listed in the U.S. I use a very conservative assumption that the FCF margin will be flat at 10.8%, which is the current TTM level. I have revenue consensus estimates available up to FY 2029 and forecast a 5% CAGR for the years beyond. As a result of the combination of consensus estimates and my long-term revenue growth projection, the revenue CAGR for the next decade is 6.2%, which is very conservative.Author's calculationsAccording to my DCF simulation, the business's fair value is approximately $310 billion. This is 64% higher than the current market cap, indicating a massive upside potential. That said, my target price for BABA is $120.Risks of investing in BABA stockAs my analysis suggests, the current Alibaba's stock price is far from underlying fundamentals, which keep improving. It is well-known that investors' sentiment prevails over fundamentals in the short-term perspective. However, Alibaba's stock price seems to be in a secular decline because it has been falling for over three years with temporary short-term bounces. Investor's fears started when the company's iconic founder, Jack Ma, suddenly disappeared in late 2020 after publicly criticizing the Chinese government. Subsequently, the company underwent multiple restructurings due to regulatory interventions by the Chinese government. I believe these events contribute significantly to the persistently negative sentiment among investors towards BABA. That said, there is a high level of uncertainty regarding the timing of the sentiment pivot towards Alibaba stock.Uncertainties regarding the Chinese economy are also a substantial risk for one of its largest companies. The real estate sector, a cornerstone of any economy, is in a \"slow-motion\" crisis. The real estate boom was one of the main drivers that fueled the Chinese economic miracle, and difficulties in the sector apparently weighed on the broader economy's growth. Apart from this, let us also not underestimate the potential adverse effect on the economy of the demographic shifts. That said, despite having strong secular technological tailwinds, Alibaba also faces macro headwinds.Bottom lineTo conclude, Alibaba is a \"Strong Buy\" at the current stock price level. The risks of investing in BABA are substantial, but I believe the upside potential far outweighs all the uncertainties. The company is fundamentally strong, and its balance sheet positions Alibaba strategically to continue investing in growth and innovation. I agree with bright consensus revenue and EPS forecasts as the company is well exposed to the hottest technological trends within industries expected to compound double digits in the next decade.Editor's Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

It&#39;s bolded - it&#39;s &#34;over-time&#34;. The Fed aims to return inflation to 2% over time. What does it mean?</p><p>It means that the Fed could decide to pause the interest rate hiking cycle with core CPI inflation still elevated at 4.8%, if the conditions are set for inflation to fall to 2% over time.</p><p>This is essentially what the soft-landing crowd is expecting - the Fed will pause after the July hike to 5.35%, despite the fact that core inflation remains elevated at 4.8%. Why? Because inflation is on the way down, and it will likely fall to 2% in the near future. And, of course, the economy will avoid falling into a recession because the Fed will start cutting interest rates as inflation continues falling in 2024.</p><p>But, it also means that the Fed could continue hiking interest rates even if inflation falls faster than expected - if the conditions don&#39;t favor a stable 2% inflation over time.</p><p>The June CPI report showed that core CPI increased only by 0.2% month-over-month, and 4.8% over the last 12 months. If the core CPI continues to rise by 0.2% each month, the core CPI will be at 2.5% by July 2024, which is still above the 2% target, so you would need to have a few months with 0.1% core CPI month over month to get to 2%. That&#39;s what the soft-landing scenario is expecting.</p><p>The problem with the soft-landing scenario is that the Fed&#39;s own Inflation Nowcast expects that core CPI will rise by 0.4% in July. Obviously, the conditions for core inflation to return to 2% over time are not there yet. Thus, despite the soft June CPI report, I believe the Fed has to continue hiking.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2d9be1802471aab595b103c745d0b12c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"194\"/></p><p>Cleveland Fed</p><h2 id=\"id_2676259712\">But what are the necessary conditions for inflation to return to 2% over time?</h2><p>The price is a function of supply and demand, it&#39;s a very simple economic concept. So, generally, there has to be a supply/demand balance economy wide. Specifically, there has to be an ample supply of 1) labor and 2) input materials, for production to meet the underlying demand.</p><p>The US currently has a major labor shortage with full employment (unemployment rate at 3.6%) and nearly 10M job openings. Obviously, the supply of labor is limited, which is causing wage price inflation, and translating into a service price inflation.</p><p>The Fed simply cannot stop hiking as long as there is a labor shortage, because the risk is that core inflation would continue rising over time.</p><p>So, what&#39;s causing the labor shortage? On the supply side, one of the main issues is demographics - the large segment of population (baby boomers) is exiting the labor force and retiring. Second, due to the unfolding trend of deglobalization, the US has stricter immigration policy which is slowing the labor force growth. On the demand side, and also due to deglobalization, the US is reshoring some jobs back home from China. The Fed cannot control the trends in demographics and deglobalization issues, and these structural longer-term trends. Thus, the labor market conditions will be out of balance for the foreseeable future.</p><p>The unfolding trend of deglobalization is also creating the risk for commodity price spikes, and the shortage of key input materials. These risks are even more extreme due to the fact that deglobalization is associated with geopolitical tensions, which increase the risk of cold wars, proxy wars, and direct military confrontations between the main global powers.</p><p>For example, Russia exited the Black Sea Grain Initiative agreement, which pushed the price of wheat limit up in the futures market last week. Saudi Arabia is cutting the oil supplies to boost the price of oil. China imposed export controls on two strategic raw materials that are critical to the global chipmaking industry. These events are part of the broader trend which is likely to persist in the foreseeable future.</p><p>Obviously, these are not conditions where inflation is expected to fall to 2% over time. In fact, it&#39;s reasonable to conclude that we are currently still in a high inflationary environment.</p><h2 id=\"id_2678714004\">What should the Fed do?</h2><p>The Fed only directly controls the demand side of the equation, and the supply side problems can only be countered with declining demand to restore price stability. That means a recession.</p><p>Specifically, that means that the Fed needs to keep tightening monetary policy until the unemployment rate increases. The Fed has set the target of 4.1% unemployment rate for 2023 and 4.5% for 2024.</p><p>The Fed helped invert the yield curve, which is expected to cause credit tightness, which is expected to cause less investment, and thus, higher unemployment. So, now we are in the process of waiting for the lagged effects of this monetary policy transmission to the real economy. We are waiting for the clear signs of a recession.</p><p>The Fed decided to skip hiking interest rates in June to evaluate these lagged effects, and apparently decided to continue increasing interest rates at a much slower pace.

It's bolded - it's \"over-time\". The Fed aims to return inflation to 2% over time. What does it mean?It means that the Fed could decide to pause the interest rate hiking cycle with core CPI inflation still elevated at 4.8%, if the conditions are set for inflation to fall to 2% over time.This is essentially what the soft-landing crowd is expecting - the Fed will pause after the July hike to 5.35%, despite the fact that core inflation remains elevated at 4.8%. Why? Because inflation is on the way down, and it will likely fall to 2% in the near future. And, of course, the economy will avoid falling into a recession because the Fed will start cutting interest rates as inflation continues falling in 2024.But, it also means that the Fed could continue hiking interest rates even if inflation falls faster than expected - if the conditions don't favor a stable 2% inflation over time.The June CPI report showed that core CPI increased only by 0.2% month-over-month, and 4.8% over the last 12 months. If the core CPI continues to rise by 0.2% each month, the core CPI will be at 2.5% by July 2024, which is still above the 2% target, so you would need to have a few months with 0.1% core CPI month over month to get to 2%. That's what the soft-landing scenario is expecting.The problem with the soft-landing scenario is that the Fed's own Inflation Nowcast expects that core CPI will rise by 0.4% in July. Obviously, the conditions for core inflation to return to 2% over time are not there yet. Thus, despite the soft June CPI report, I believe the Fed has to continue hiking.Cleveland FedBut what are the necessary conditions for inflation to return to 2% over time?The price is a function of supply and demand, it's a very simple economic concept. So, generally, there has to be a supply/demand balance economy wide. Specifically, there has to be an ample supply of 1) labor and 2) input materials, for production to meet the underlying demand.The US currently has a major labor shortage with full employment (unemployment rate at 3.6%) and nearly 10M job openings. Obviously, the supply of labor is limited, which is causing wage price inflation, and translating into a service price inflation.The Fed simply cannot stop hiking as long as there is a labor shortage, because the risk is that core inflation would continue rising over time.So, what's causing the labor shortage? On the supply side, one of the main issues is demographics - the large segment of population (baby boomers) is exiting the labor force and retiring. Second, due to the unfolding trend of deglobalization, the US has stricter immigration policy which is slowing the labor force growth. On the demand side, and also due to deglobalization, the US is reshoring some jobs back home from China. The Fed cannot control the trends in demographics and deglobalization issues, and these structural longer-term trends. Thus, the labor market conditions will be out of balance for the foreseeable future.The unfolding trend of deglobalization is also creating the risk for commodity price spikes, and the shortage of key input materials. These risks are even more extreme due to the fact that deglobalization is associated with geopolitical tensions, which increase the risk of cold wars, proxy wars, and direct military confrontations between the main global powers.For example, Russia exited the Black Sea Grain Initiative agreement, which pushed the price of wheat limit up in the futures market last week. Saudi Arabia is cutting the oil supplies to boost the price of oil. China imposed export controls on two strategic raw materials that are critical to the global chipmaking industry. These events are part of the broader trend which is likely to persist in the foreseeable future.Obviously, these are not conditions where inflation is expected to fall to 2% over time. In fact, it's reasonable to conclude that we are currently still in a high inflationary environment.What should the Fed do?The Fed only directly controls the demand side of the equation, and the supply side problems can only be countered with declining demand to restore price stability. That means a recession.Specifically, that means that the Fed needs to keep tightening monetary policy until the unemployment rate increases. The Fed has set the target of 4.1% unemployment rate for 2023 and 4.5% for 2024.The Fed helped invert the yield curve, which is expected to cause credit tightness, which is expected to cause less investment, and thus, higher unemployment. So, now we are in the process of waiting for the lagged effects of this monetary policy transmission to the real economy. We are waiting for the clear signs of a recession.The Fed decided to skip hiking interest rates in June to evaluate these lagged effects, and apparently decided to continue increasing interest rates at a much slower pace. Thus, the Fed is set to increase interest rates at the July meeting, and indicated that an additional 25bpt hike might be required in fall.The lagged effects are already evident as the Redbook weekly retail sales are turning negative year over year, as well as industrial production. The labor market is showing some cracks with the (volatile) trend of higher weekly claims, but this is still insufficient.The Fed is actually a very powerful institution with a broad geopolitical reach. The only way to really ensure a stable inflation rate over time is to directly address the underlying trends, particularly with the respect to deglobalization.Specifically, I think the Fed should continue hiking well past 6% to induce a deep recession in the US, which would 1) crash oil price and weaken the oil revenue dependent Russia and other adversaries, 2) seriously weaken the export dependent Chinese economy.Thus, by overtightening, the Fed would directly address the demand side of the equation via a higher unemployment rate, and indirectly affect the supply side by inducing economic barriers to deglobalization.This is exactly what the Fed did in 1970s and especially in the early 1980s, when it hiked well above the core PCE inflation. Here is the chart, it's obvious that the current level of Federal Funds rate (red line) is not high enough in my opinion:FREDNow considering the Taylor Rule for determining the appropriate level for Federal Funds rate, the different scenarios suggest that the Federal Funds rate should be somewhere between 6.5% and 7.5%.Atlanta FedWhat will the Fed do?The Fed is still behind based on the Taylor rule.

Here's why.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a8d189d2dc3c749d6d342ccf6fddec95\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"/></p><p>Source: xiaorui / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>Nio</strong> (NYSE:<strong>NIO</strong>), a prominent player in the electric vehicle industry, has been a rollercoaster of a stock. The company’s shares have seen a considerable drop since their 2021 peak. Is now the time to start betting on a reversal in trend?</p><p>First, let’s talk company dynamics. NIO stock has been affected by China’s slow economic growth. In addition, the company’s gross margin, at a meager 1.5%, raises concerns about its ability to maintain profitability in a high capex industry like automobiles, especially when industry leaders like <strong>Tesla</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>TSLA</strong>) are pushing margins down.</p><p>However, the company’s shares have started to recover, gaining over 35% since the end of May 2023. This sudden increase can be attributed to Nio’s strategic decision to slash its vehicle prices, following the trend set by Tesla and other EV manufacturers. General optimism around equities that we saw in June into July also has helped.</p><h2 id=\"id_2538979766\">Nio’s Deliveries: A Mixed Bag</h2><p>Nio’s deliveries have faced a year-over-year decline in both June and Q2 of 2023, which is a significant factor behind reduced investor interest. In June 2023, it delivered only 10,707 vehicles compared to 12,961 in June 2022, marking a 17.4% YOY decrease. The Q2 deliveries also declined 6.1% YOY, with 23,520 vehicles delivered.</p><p>However, it’s worth noting that despite multiple setbacks due to Covid-19 lockdowns, Nio managed to deliver a record number of vehicles in Q4 2022, marking a 51% YOY increase. The company’s annual deliveries in 2022 also saw a 34% rise over 2021, indicating a strong recovery potential.</p><h2 id=\"id_2102207073\">Nio’s Financial Health: A Cause for Concern</h2><p>Despite its growth prospects, Nio’s financial health raises some red flags. The company’s Q1 2023 gross margin fell to just 1.5% from 14.6% in the same quarter of 2022. With Nio and other premium EV manufacturers already offering generous price discounts, this price war could pressure Nio’s profitability further.</p><p>Adding to the worry is NIO’s Q1 2023 net loss of $690 million, which has significantly reduced its cash reserves. Nonetheless, a strategic $1.1 billion investment from an Abu Dhabi government fund in June 2023 aimed at funding its international growth has provided a much-needed boost to its financial resources.</p><h2 id=\"id_3538536049\">Nio’s Future Prospects: A Ray of Hope</h2><p>Despite the challenges, NIO’s prospects look promising. Its focus on innovative technologies such as battery swapping, autonomous driving, and an AI-driven digital cockpit could attract new buyers. This in turn will fuel its revenue growth.</p><p>Moreover, Nio’s expansion into several European countries and its introduction of new EV models are expected to drive increased sales in 2023-2024. The company also plans to have five new models by mid-2023, as it aims to capture a larger share of China’s EV market.</p><h2 id=\"id_2942372352\">NIO Stock: To Buy or Not to Buy?</h2><p>While Nio’s growth and opportunities make it an attractive investment prospect, it’s not quite a “buy” situation yet.

The company’s shares have seen a considerable drop since their 2021 peak. Is now the time to start betting on a reversal in trend?First, let’s talk company dynamics. NIO stock has been affected by China’s slow economic growth. In addition, the company’s gross margin, at a meager 1.5%, raises concerns about its ability to maintain profitability in a high capex industry like automobiles, especially when industry leaders like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are pushing margins down.However, the company’s shares have started to recover, gaining over 35% since the end of May 2023. This sudden increase can be attributed to Nio’s strategic decision to slash its vehicle prices, following the trend set by Tesla and other EV manufacturers. General optimism around equities that we saw in June into July also has helped.Nio’s Deliveries: A Mixed BagNio’s deliveries have faced a year-over-year decline in both June and Q2 of 2023, which is a significant factor behind reduced investor interest. In June 2023, it delivered only 10,707 vehicles compared to 12,961 in June 2022, marking a 17.4% YOY decrease. The Q2 deliveries also declined 6.1% YOY, with 23,520 vehicles delivered.However, it’s worth noting that despite multiple setbacks due to Covid-19 lockdowns, Nio managed to deliver a record number of vehicles in Q4 2022, marking a 51% YOY increase. The company’s annual deliveries in 2022 also saw a 34% rise over 2021, indicating a strong recovery potential.Nio’s Financial Health: A Cause for ConcernDespite its growth prospects, Nio’s financial health raises some red flags. The company’s Q1 2023 gross margin fell to just 1.5% from 14.6% in the same quarter of 2022. With Nio and other premium EV manufacturers already offering generous price discounts, this price war could pressure Nio’s profitability further.Adding to the worry is NIO’s Q1 2023 net loss of $690 million, which has significantly reduced its cash reserves. Nonetheless, a strategic $1.1 billion investment from an Abu Dhabi government fund in June 2023 aimed at funding its international growth has provided a much-needed boost to its financial resources.Nio’s Future Prospects: A Ray of HopeDespite the challenges, NIO’s prospects look promising. Its focus on innovative technologies such as battery swapping, autonomous driving, and an AI-driven digital cockpit could attract new buyers. This in turn will fuel its revenue growth.Moreover, Nio’s expansion into several European countries and its introduction of new EV models are expected to drive increased sales in 2023-2024. The company also plans to have five new models by mid-2023, as it aims to capture a larger share of China’s EV market.NIO Stock: To Buy or Not to Buy?While Nio’s growth and opportunities make it an attractive investment prospect, it’s not quite a “buy” situation yet. The company’s price-to-sales multiple stands at an attractive 2.4x, the lowest since 2019, but the company’s lack of profitability and the risks posed by the ongoing price war in the EV industry make it a high-risk investment.A lot remains to be seen with NIO stock, and the broad market environment looks challenged to me. Still, it’s one to keep on a watch list.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196776714272776,"gmtCreate":1689077074883,"gmtModify":1689082557515,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Where are you guys coming from?

I competed in 400M/800M events, so I&#39;m familiar with the &#34;last 100m&#34; concept - that&#39;s when the lactic acid kicks in and the legs get heavy, but you have to keep moving.</p><p>I was coached by Que McMaster who worked with the great Micheal Johnson (four Olympic gold medals) in his early days at Baylor, and he had a scientific approach to the &#34;last 100m&#34; problem. The data showed that you can sprint at max speed for 20-25 seconds without triggering lactic acid, so you start really fast, and then you switch into the &#34;glide mode.&#34; The secret was to switch from the &#34;glide mode&#34; to the &#34;finish mode&#34; efficiently, so you can cross the finish line at full speed - without ever triggering lactic acid. The strategy was to get ahead of the competition, and if they never catch up, you win, and if they do catch up, you have enough energy to switch into the higher gear in the last 100m and still win.</p><h2 id=\"id_2395002047\">The Fed is doing it all wrong</h2><p>The Fed is essentially in a race against inflation. Drawing lessons from McMaster&#39;s race strategy, the Fed is supposed to get ahead of inflation - and if inflation accelerates, shift into a more aggressive tightening mode until the clear victory. In fact, that was exactly the Fed&#39;s strategy in the 1970s/early 1980s. Here&#39;s the graph that shows core PCE inflation (in blue) and effective Federal Funds rate (in red):</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ecb07668513c546a65cf80bab6bd6b69\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"273\"/></p><p>FRED</p><p>What do we see? When inflation is rising, the Federal Funds rate (red) always is above the core PCE (blue). But more importantly, near the peaks in inflation, the Fed would accelerate the hikes - well above the PCE inflation. That&#39;s how you win the race.</p><p>For example, in March 1980, the Fed hiked from 14% to 17%, while core PCE was at a peak of 9.3%.</p><p>And now let&#39;s look at the current situation. The Fed let inflation get ahead by far in 2022 by wrongly assuming that the inflationary spike was &#34;transitory.&#34; The Fed finally caught up with inflation in May 2023 - and then paused? What a mistake. Why? Because it appears that inflation is about to turn higher. It appears that inflation is being coached by McMaster. So, the &#34;last 100m&#34; of this race will be very interesting.</p><h2 id=\"id_1551354841\">Is inflation turning higher?</h2><p>The BLS will release the inflation data for June 2023. These are the expectations:</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a2f496f0dbe4ef7c27b5d5e3f7f4e94\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"186\"/></p><p>Trading Economics</p><p>So, the headline inflation is expected to sharply fall to 3.1%, but the month-over-month inflation is expected to rise to 0.3%. Core CPI is expected to slightly fall to 5%, while the month-over is also expected at 0.3%.</p><p>The Cleveland Fed Inflation Nowcast predicts slightly higher numbers for June, with CPI at 3.2%, and core CPI at 5.1%, with a 0.4% month-over-month increase for both. Thus, we could get a higher-than-expected number for June.</p><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c931382bcb41e7c48d63f5b6a122dc22\" tg-width=\"522\" tg-height=\"237\"/></p><p>Cleveland Fed</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f31204265451c2e58dbfa0e9f64b130c\" tg-width=\"532\" tg-height=\"239\"/></p><p>Cleveland Fed</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>But, more importantly, Nowcast predicts higher CPI and core CPI for July at 3.6% and 5.2%, respectively. Even more worrisome is the constant 0.4% month-over-month increase for the core CPI, which is consistent with a steady 5% annual core inflation.</p><p>In fact, the annualized quarterly inflation for Q3 is expected to rise to 4.42% from 3% - that&#39;s a sharp upturn in inflation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a799a5b1d21f1242625628e196af499\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"176\"/></p><p>Cleveland Fed</p><h2 id=\"id_990055891\">Why is inflation rising again?</h2><p>First, inflation is estimated as a 12-month year-over-year increase in prices - so each month you delete the month a year ago from the calculation. Well, last year there was a spike in energy/food prices due to the war in Ukraine, and the peak was in June, so the inflation number for July deletes the June 2022 number - that&#39;s the base effect for the headline CPI, and it looks like this (the big bar is out of the picture for July):</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7196f73499cdc312dfa5f10d6fcc74db\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"275\"/></p><p>Trading Economics</p><p>And this is the month-over-month inflation for core CPI:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b926d12d7445010f0e24578383effa7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"264\"/></p><p>Trading Economics</p><p>The most important data to look at is the fact that over the last six months, the month-over-month core CPI inflation was steady at 0.4%, which is expected to hold for at least the next two months, based on Nowcast. That&#39;s consistent with over 5% annual core CPI - while the target is 2%.</p><p>So, once the base effects are out, we are facing the &#34;last mile&#34; or the &#34;last 100m,&#34; and BIS said this will be a very difficult race. Specifically, BIS is very concerned that there could be a price-wage inflationary spiral in making. When looking at the totality of data, BIS concludes that there&#39;s a high risk of a transition to the 1970s-like high-inflationary mode. More info here.</p><h2 id=\"id_2346461144\">What does the Fed need to do now?</h2><p>The Fed started the race from behind and has been trying to catch up. In order to win the race, the Fed needs to accelerate the monetary policy tightening, well above what is currently expected. Just look at the chart provided above, the red line has to be well above the blue line, there&#39;s no other way. In other words, the Fed might need to surprise the market with a 50bpt hike in July. That&#39;s the transition to the &#34;finish mode,&#34; and that&#39;s what worked in the 1970s. The Taylor rule tool also suggests that the Federal Funds rate should currently be somewhere between 6.6-7.2%.</p><p>The race is over when we see a consistent 0.1%, 0.2% in core PCE for several months. Unfortunately, this might require a very sharp increase in the unemployment rate, possibly above 6%-7%.</p><h2 id=\"id_3478179582\">Implications</h2><p>This is the Fed&#39;s strategy for the &#34;last mile&#34; or &#34;last 100m&#34; of the inflation race: stay behind and wait for inflation to get &#34;tired,&#34; or wait for inflation to get &#34;the lactic acid&#34; and just die out.</p><p>This strategy is unlikely to work, and the Fed will be forced to be more aggressive - to shift into the &#34;finish mode.&#34; However, this will likely cause a deep recession. In fact, there are already signs that growth is stalling or contracting based on the real GDI measure, and yet inflation is expected to turn higher after the June reading.</p><p>The BIS report is particularly worried about the housing sector if the Fed is forced to hike 200bpt above the May rate to above 6%. In this scenario, the housing prices would drop below their 2012 level or more than 33% from the peak.

I competed in 400M/800M events, so I'm familiar with the \"last 100m\" concept - that's when the lactic acid kicks in and the legs get heavy, but you have to keep moving.I was coached by Que McMaster who worked with the great Micheal Johnson (four Olympic gold medals) in his early days at Baylor, and he had a scientific approach to the \"last 100m\" problem. The data showed that you can sprint at max speed for 20-25 seconds without triggering lactic acid, so you start really fast, and then you switch into the \"glide mode.\" The secret was to switch from the \"glide mode\" to the \"finish mode\" efficiently, so you can cross the finish line at full speed - without ever triggering lactic acid. The strategy was to get ahead of the competition, and if they never catch up, you win, and if they do catch up, you have enough energy to switch into the higher gear in the last 100m and still win.The Fed is doing it all wrongThe Fed is essentially in a race against inflation. Drawing lessons from McMaster's race strategy, the Fed is supposed to get ahead of inflation - and if inflation accelerates, shift into a more aggressive tightening mode until the clear victory. In fact, that was exactly the Fed's strategy in the 1970s/early 1980s. Here's the graph that shows core PCE inflation (in blue) and effective Federal Funds rate (in red):FREDWhat do we see? When inflation is rising, the Federal Funds rate (red) always is above the core PCE (blue). But more importantly, near the peaks in inflation, the Fed would accelerate the hikes - well above the PCE inflation. That's how you win the race.For example, in March 1980, the Fed hiked from 14% to 17%, while core PCE was at a peak of 9.3%.And now let's look at the current situation. The Fed let inflation get ahead by far in 2022 by wrongly assuming that the inflationary spike was \"transitory.\" The Fed finally caught up with inflation in May 2023 - and then paused? What a mistake. Why? Because it appears that inflation is about to turn higher. It appears that inflation is being coached by McMaster. So, the \"last 100m\" of this race will be very interesting.Is inflation turning higher?The BLS will release the inflation data for June 2023. These are the expectations:Trading EconomicsSo, the headline inflation is expected to sharply fall to 3.1%, but the month-over-month inflation is expected to rise to 0.3%. Core CPI is expected to slightly fall to 5%, while the month-over is also expected at 0.3%.The Cleveland Fed Inflation Nowcast predicts slightly higher numbers for June, with CPI at 3.2%, and core CPI at 5.1%, with a 0.4% month-over-month increase for both. Thus, we could get a higher-than-expected number for June.Cleveland FedCleveland FedBut, more importantly, Nowcast predicts higher CPI and core CPI for July at 3.6% and 5.2%, respectively. Even more worrisome is the constant 0.4% month-over-month increase for the core CPI, which is consistent with a steady 5% annual core inflation.In fact, the annualized quarterly inflation for Q3 is expected to rise to 4.42% from 3% - that's a sharp upturn in inflation.Cleveland FedWhy is inflation rising again?First, inflation is estimated as a 12-month year-over-year increase in prices - so each month you delete the month a year ago from the calculation. Well, last year there was a spike in energy/food prices due to the war in Ukraine, and the peak was in June, so the inflation number for July deletes the June 2022 number - that's the base effect for the headline CPI, and it looks like this (the big bar is out of the picture for July):Trading EconomicsAnd this is the month-over-month inflation for core CPI:Trading EconomicsThe most important data to look at is the fact that over the last six months, the month-over-month core CPI inflation was steady at 0.4%, which is expected to hold for at least the next two months, based on Nowcast. That's consistent with over 5% annual core CPI - while the target is 2%.So, once the base effects are out, we are facing the \"last mile\" or the \"last 100m,\" and BIS said this will be a very difficult race. Specifically, BIS is very concerned that there could be a price-wage inflationary spiral in making. When looking at the totality of data, BIS concludes that there's a high risk of a transition to the 1970s-like high-inflationary mode. More info here.What does the Fed need to do now?The Fed started the race from behind and has been trying to catch up. In order to win the race, the Fed needs to accelerate the monetary policy tightening, well above what is currently expected. Just look at the chart provided above, the red line has to be well above the blue line, there's no other way. In other words, the Fed might need to surprise the market with a 50bpt hike in July. That's the transition to the \"finish mode,\" and that's what worked in the 1970s. The Taylor rule tool also suggests that the Federal Funds rate should currently be somewhere between 6.6-7.2%.The race is over when we see a consistent 0.1%, 0.2% in core PCE for several months. Unfortunately, this might require a very sharp increase in the unemployment rate, possibly above 6%-7%.ImplicationsThis is the Fed's strategy for the \"last mile\" or \"last 100m\" of the inflation race: stay behind and wait for inflation to get \"tired,\" or wait for inflation to get \"the lactic acid\" and just die out.This strategy is unlikely to work, and the Fed will be forced to be more aggressive - to shift into the \"finish mode.\" However, this will likely cause a deep recession. In fact, there are already signs that growth is stalling or contracting based on the real GDI measure, and yet inflation is expected to turn higher after the June reading.The BIS report is particularly worried about the housing sector if the Fed is forced to hike 200bpt above the May rate to above 6%. In this scenario, the housing prices would drop below their 2012 level or more than 33% from the peak. This might be required to bring inflation to 2%.The financial sector (XLF) is at the center of the upcoming crisis, given the expected fall in housing prices, and the expected solvency issues in the commercial real estate (XLRE).Regional banks (KRE) are likely to be most vulnerable, given their heavy exposure to commercial real estate and mortgages. In addition, the further expected increase in the Federal Funds rate will continue to increase their cost of capital and accelerate the deposit outflows. Thus, it's likely that many more regional banks would fail.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":178,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193252176670880,"gmtCreate":1688210237589,"gmtModify":1688210242452,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let's go NIO.....

Just one year ago, between META, Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>, I would have not expected META to be the strongest performing stock. META seemed to have the highest risk due to its market positioning, but the stock has nonetheless outperformed due to management&#39;s surprisingly aggressive commitment to operational efficiencies. After a thunderous rally from the lows, META stock might not look so cheap anymore based on trailing earnings, but earnings are set for considerable growth as the company reaps the benefits of a leaner cost structure. I am also warming up to the long-term opportunity of the metaverse, and management appears to have struck an optimal balance between investing for growth and doing right by shareholders. The hardest part in investing can oftentimes be holding on to one&#39;s winners, especially as the stock price rewards a developing thesis. I reiterate my strong buy rating for the stock.</p><h2>META Stock Price</h2><p>It may be hard to believe, but META has made up much of the losses it suffered during the tech crash.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a33c4a74f91dfaa16e62b35cb64dccb\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>I last covered META in March where I rated the stock a strong buy even as the stock was already up triple digits from the lows. The stock has since returned another 38%, but I continue to maintain my bullishness. The stock should never have gotten as low as it did, and it is now making up ground.</p><h2>META Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>In its most recent quarter, META delivered surprisingly resilient growth, with revenues growing 2.6% to $28.6 billion. That came above the high end of management&#39;s guidance of $26 billion to $28.5 billion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb4e42d3d8180be03f6e8f05689f9eec\" alt=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"309\"/><span>2023 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p>The operating margin declined 600 bps to 25%, but that included 400 bps of headwinds from restructuring charges. Management noted that they expect to record around $1 billion of restructuring charges as a result of the layoffs announced in March. The company recognized $523 million of those charges in this past quarter.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/65e1cce5fac934451e11ff937d0b251f\" alt=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"194\"/><span>2023 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p>Excluding the restructuring charges recognized in the quarter, diluted EPS would have been 20% higher at $2.64. Operating margin would have declined by only 100 bps, which is arguably a strong result considering that Reality Labs losses increased by $1 billion.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eac770b3f54cf622057994064024c015\" alt=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\"/><span>2023 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p>META also showed solid business fundamentals, with Facebook monthly active users (&#39;MAUs&#39;) growing 0.9% sequentially. It was only four quarters ago that MAUs declined sequentially, and the market seemingly gave up on the stock.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d821628a07ffa1eb8c521948a943484\" alt=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\"/><span>2023 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p>Also impressive, META was able to slightly increase its average revenue per user (&#39;ARPU&#39;) on a worldwide basis. These are very strong results considering the tough macro environment.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7a6871400add0cecc4cd5e9e73763b6\" alt=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\"/><span>2023 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p>META had previously been seeing considerable headwinds from its increasing adoption of Reels, as the new video format has a lower rate of monetization. On the conference call, management cited the &#34;structural supply constraints&#34; due to the greater engagement associated with Reels, but is still guiding for Reels to be neutral to revenues within three to four quarters.</p><p>The company generated $6.9 billion in free cash flow in the quarter yet repurchased $9.22 billion of stock - showing clearly management&#39;s commitment to the share repurchase program.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d65f7d56be2fb1a8656963ca586c068\" alt=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" title=\"2023 Q1 Presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"260\"/><span>2023 Q1 Presentation</span></p><p>META ended the quarter with $37.44 billion of cash versus $9.92 billion of debt, as well as $6.2 billion in privately held securities. Management made a surprising and somewhat overlooked comment regarding their capital structure, stating intentions to maintain a &#34;positive or neutral net cash balance over time.&#34; In plain English, that means that management is willing to issue debt to fund accelerated share repurchases. For an illustration of how much this could boost the stock price, just look at the tape action of Apple (AAPL). If investors were concerned that heavy investment in Reality Labs would take away from shareholder returns, then those concerns have now been thoroughly addressed.</p><p>Looking ahead, management has guided for revenue between $29.5 and $32 billion. The high end of that range implies double-digit YOY growth, with management justified as being due to the fact that this will be the first comparable quarter without Russian revenues.</p><p>Management reduced their full-year operating expense guidance to between $86 and $90 billion, which is inclusive of $3 to $5 billion of restructuring costs and is down from the $89 to $95 billion range given in March. I note that two quarters ago, the expense outlook was a range of $96 to $101 billion.</p><p>Yet, management did not stop there. Management committed to maintaining a lean-operations mindset moving forward, stating that a slower pace of hiring and flattened management structure &#34;will improve the speed and quality of our work.&#34; The exception appears to be in the company&#39;s Reality Labs and artificial intelligence operations. Management noted that these two areas would be the primary areas of future hiring and represent their top two core priorities. Management noted that more than 20% of content in Facebook and Instagram feeds are recommended by AI, representing content from accounts that one doesn&#39;t follow. I view that metric as being highly relevant in showing that the company has been able to move past the data privacy changes by iOS in the past, as it may be able to eventually drive its content generation primarily from in-app use. Management estimates that these AI recommendations have increased time spent on Instagram by 24%.</p><p>This appears to be the quarter in which META has simultaneously attacked many of the main bearish points: capital allocation, profitability, iOS data privacy changes, and TikTok competition. It is quite amazing that META has been able to accomplish such a task while continuing to invest so heavily in the metaverse.</p><h2>Is META Stock Buy, Sell, or Hold?</h2><p>While META is trading at around 30x trailing earnings, consensus estimates have the stock trading at just 24x this year&#39;s estimates. The discrepancy is likely due to both expectations for a macro recovery as well as a financial boost from the company&#39;s aggressive cost-cutting initiatives.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7b3f29268f3a31cbd571e07ba75ab40\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"142\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Consensus earnings estimates look reasonable, if not conservative, considering that they are implying a mere 27% net margin by 2026.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ef257a6794d92bd262fa639119845eb\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"142\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Yes, META stock is up a substantial amount from the lows. I suspect that this point alone may make many readers uncomfortable with the stock. But I pose a counter: if META had instead fallen from a higher price to current levels, would that change the stock&#39;s outlook? Depending on one&#39;s balance of fundamental and technical analysis, answers to that question may differ, but those with a fundamental tilt should argue to the contrary. META appears to be doing everything that shareholders could want - in particular, the focus on profitability and potential for accelerated share repurchases stand out. But in addition to those welcome measures, I am also warming up to the long-term opportunity in the metaverse. Investor enthusiasm for this business unit, despite the company&#39;s significant investment in it, has been lukewarm, and I can understand why given my personal experience with virtual reality headsets. But one day, as I was playing with my toddler, I wondered if it would be possible to re-live such memories even after she grows older. I wondered if artificial intelligence and metaverse developments would make it possible to transform a photograph or video into a virtual reality experience. I may be dreaming, but this appears to be the direction that META is heading, and this is the kind of narrative that can help drive a premium valuation. With Microsoft (MSFT) trading at 35x earnings due to enthusiasm for search and artificial intelligence, in spite of its slowing growth profile, I can see META getting to a similar valuation on account of the faster growth profile. A re-valuation to 30x earnings would imply around 30% potential upside over the next 12 months.</p><p>What are the key risks? Relevance remains the most important risk. META is not enterprise tech and thus is much more correlated with the broader economy. Demand for online advertising may weaken in weak economic conditions, as seen currently. Moreover, META&#39;s platforms might not resonate with future generations, as technological prowess plays a lesser role than popularity for social networks. While META appears to have staved off competition from TikTok for its core user base, I am of the view that TikTok remains the social network of choice for newer generations. That may pose a tail-end risk, though admittedly this risk might not appear for many decades. It is also possible that management reverses course from its shareholder-friendly practices, perhaps by investing too aggressively in the metaverse. While I am optimistic for the future of the metaverse as described above, technology and social appetite might not be ready to welcome such developments. It is possible that META is too early in investing for the metaverse, though I suspect that Wall Street is underestimating the impact that artificial intelligence can have in this field. META remains a top pick due to the visible catalysts playing out - I reiterate my strong buy rating.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Meta Platforms: Do Not Sell Now Ahead Of Explosive Upside</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\">\nMeta Platforms: Do Not Sell Now Ahead Of Explosive Upside\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-08 11:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4610075-meta-platforms-do-not-sell-now-ahead-of-explosive-upside><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMeta Platforms is up well over triple-digits from lows.The company is showing resilient revenue and user growth in spite of a tough macro environment and stiff competition.I discuss the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4610075-meta-platforms-do-not-sell-now-ahead-of-explosive-upside\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"META":"Meta Platforms, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4610075-meta-platforms-do-not-sell-now-ahead-of-explosive-upside","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2341205384","content_text":"SummaryMeta Platforms is up well over triple-digits from lows.The company is showing resilient revenue and user growth in spite of a tough macro environment and stiff competition.I discuss the potential ramifications of the shift in capital allocation strategy.The stock remains deeply undervalued, in light of the rapidly evolving thesis - I reiterate my strong buy rating.Meta Platforms has finally found its groove.

The stock should never have gotten as low as it did, and it is now making up ground.META Stock Key MetricsIn its most recent quarter, META delivered surprisingly resilient growth, with revenues growing 2.6% to $28.6 billion. That came above the high end of management's guidance of $26 billion to $28.5 billion.2023 Q1 PresentationThe operating margin declined 600 bps to 25%, but that included 400 bps of headwinds from restructuring charges. Management noted that they expect to record around $1 billion of restructuring charges as a result of the layoffs announced in March. The company recognized $523 million of those charges in this past quarter.2023 Q1 PresentationExcluding the restructuring charges recognized in the quarter, diluted EPS would have been 20% higher at $2.64. Operating margin would have declined by only 100 bps, which is arguably a strong result considering that Reality Labs losses increased by $1 billion.2023 Q1 PresentationMETA also showed solid business fundamentals, with Facebook monthly active users ('MAUs') growing 0.9% sequentially. It was only four quarters ago that MAUs declined sequentially, and the market seemingly gave up on the stock.2023 Q1 PresentationAlso impressive, META was able to slightly increase its average revenue per user ('ARPU') on a worldwide basis. These are very strong results considering the tough macro environment.2023 Q1 PresentationMETA had previously been seeing considerable headwinds from its increasing adoption of Reels, as the new video format has a lower rate of monetization. On the conference call, management cited the \"structural supply constraints\" due to the greater engagement associated with Reels, but is still guiding for Reels to be neutral to revenues within three to four quarters.The company generated $6.9 billion in free cash flow in the quarter yet repurchased $9.22 billion of stock - showing clearly management's commitment to the share repurchase program.2023 Q1 PresentationMETA ended the quarter with $37.44 billion of cash versus $9.92 billion of debt, as well as $6.2 billion in privately held securities. Management made a surprising and somewhat overlooked comment regarding their capital structure, stating intentions to maintain a \"positive or neutral net cash balance over time.\" In plain English, that means that management is willing to issue debt to fund accelerated share repurchases. For an illustration of how much this could boost the stock price, just look at the tape action of Apple (AAPL). If investors were concerned that heavy investment in Reality Labs would take away from shareholder returns, then those concerns have now been thoroughly addressed.Looking ahead, management has guided for revenue between $29.5 and $32 billion. The high end of that range implies double-digit YOY growth, with management justified as being due to the fact that this will be the first comparable quarter without Russian revenues.Management reduced their full-year operating expense guidance to between $86 and $90 billion, which is inclusive of $3 to $5 billion of restructuring costs and is down from the $89 to $95 billion range given in March. I note that two quarters ago, the expense outlook was a range of $96 to $101 billion.Yet, management did not stop there. Management committed to maintaining a lean-operations mindset moving forward, stating that a slower pace of hiring and flattened management structure \"will improve the speed and quality of our work.\" The exception appears to be in the company's Reality Labs and artificial intelligence operations. Management noted that these two areas would be the primary areas of future hiring and represent their top two core priorities. Management noted that more than 20% of content in Facebook and Instagram feeds are recommended by AI, representing content from accounts that one doesn't follow. I view that metric as being highly relevant in showing that the company has been able to move past the data privacy changes by iOS in the past, as it may be able to eventually drive its content generation primarily from in-app use. Management estimates that these AI recommendations have increased time spent on Instagram by 24%.This appears to be the quarter in which META has simultaneously attacked many of the main bearish points: capital allocation, profitability, iOS data privacy changes, and TikTok competition. It is quite amazing that META has been able to accomplish such a task while continuing to invest so heavily in the metaverse.Is META Stock Buy, Sell, or Hold?While META is trading at around 30x trailing earnings, consensus estimates have the stock trading at just 24x this year's estimates. The discrepancy is likely due to both expectations for a macro recovery as well as a financial boost from the company's aggressive cost-cutting initiatives.Seeking AlphaConsensus earnings estimates look reasonable, if not conservative, considering that they are implying a mere 27% net margin by 2026.Seeking AlphaYes, META stock is up a substantial amount from the lows. I suspect that this point alone may make many readers uncomfortable with the stock. But I pose a counter: if META had instead fallen from a higher price to current levels, would that change the stock's outlook? Depending on one's balance of fundamental and technical analysis, answers to that question may differ, but those with a fundamental tilt should argue to the contrary. META appears to be doing everything that shareholders could want - in particular, the focus on profitability and potential for accelerated share repurchases stand out. But in addition to those welcome measures, I am also warming up to the long-term opportunity in the metaverse. Investor enthusiasm for this business unit, despite the company's significant investment in it, has been lukewarm, and I can understand why given my personal experience with virtual reality headsets. But one day, as I was playing with my toddler, I wondered if it would be possible to re-live such memories even after she grows older. I wondered if artificial intelligence and metaverse developments would make it possible to transform a photograph or video into a virtual reality experience. I may be dreaming, but this appears to be the direction that META is heading, and this is the kind of narrative that can help drive a premium valuation. With Microsoft (MSFT) trading at 35x earnings due to enthusiasm for search and artificial intelligence, in spite of its slowing growth profile, I can see META getting to a similar valuation on account of the faster growth profile. A re-valuation to 30x earnings would imply around 30% potential upside over the next 12 months.What are the key risks? Relevance remains the most important risk. META is not enterprise tech and thus is much more correlated with the broader economy. Demand for online advertising may weaken in weak economic conditions, as seen currently. Moreover, META's platforms might not resonate with future generations, as technological prowess plays a lesser role than popularity for social networks. While META appears to have staved off competition from TikTok for its core user base, I am of the view that TikTok remains the social network of choice for newer generations. That may pose a tail-end risk, though admittedly this risk might not appear for many decades. It is also possible that management reverses course from its shareholder-friendly practices, perhaps by investing too aggressively in the metaverse. While I am optimistic for the future of the metaverse as described above, technology and social appetite might not be ready to welcome such developments. It is possible that META is too early in investing for the metaverse, though I suspect that Wall Street is underestimating the impact that artificial intelligence can have in this field. META remains a top pick due to the visible catalysts playing out - I reiterate my strong buy rating.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":223,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182560734224400,"gmtCreate":1685579792946,"gmtModify":1685579797005,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cut the production more and let it the price pump...&nbsp;","listText":"Cut the production more and let it the price pump...&nbsp;","text":"Cut the production more and let it the price pump...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/182560734224400","repostId":"2340246610","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2340246610","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1685579064,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2340246610?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-06-01 08:24","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"OPEC Excludes Bloomberg, Reuters and WSJ Reporters From Meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2340246610","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"No reason for lack of invites was given by OPEC secretariatOPEC+ ministers meet this weekend in Vien","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>No reason for lack of invites was given by OPEC secretariat</p></li><li><p>OPEC+ ministers meet this weekend in Vienna to set policy</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/daa34c001e7b20c375fd4ccf0c9f0bb8\" alt=\"OPEC headquarters in Vienna, Austria.

However, China has abandoned its zero-COVID strategy and reopened its economy.

Though Walt Disney is a mature business, it&#39;s expected to sustain a double-digit earnings growth rate for the next half-decade. That absolutely makes it a growth stock.</p><p>The biggest competitive edge that Disney offers is that its business can&#39;t be duplicated. While there are other theme parks consumers can visit and other movies on the big screen, Disney&#39;s characters and stories, along with the emotion, engagement, and imagination they evoke in consumers, can&#39;t be duplicated by any other company.</p><p>As I&#39;ve previously suggested, the value of this irreplaceability can be seen in Walt Disney&#39;s pricing power. Since Disneyland opened its doors in Southern California in 1955, admission prices have risen by 10,300%. By comparison, the U.S. inflation rate has jumped a little over 1,000% over the same time span.  Disney has also been able to raise prices on its ad-free streaming service, Disney+, while losing only a small fraction of its subscribers.</p><p>The next step in Walt Disney&#39;s evolution is turning its money-losing streaming segment into a profit machine. Newly reappointed CEO Bob Iger increased monthly subscription prices and is targeting profitability for this segment toward the end of fiscal 2024.

In spite of rent-collection speed bumps in recent months, IIP, as Innovative Industrial Properties is known, can show patient investors the green.</p><p>The prevailing concern with IIP is that its on-time rental collection rate has dropped from 100% to 92% as of the end of February 2023. But it&#39;s important to understand that all REITs eventually deal with delinquencies. It&#39;s how companies handle their delinquencies that matters. IIP&#39;s fourth-quarter report and year-to-date update shows it&#39;s working through these delinquencies and should be able to sustain these revenue streams or outright sell these properties for cash.</p><p>Another key point with Innovative Industrial Properties is that 100% of its properties are triple-net leased (also known as &#34;NNN leased&#34;). NNN-leased properties require the tenant to cover all expenses, including utilities, maintenance, and even property tax and insurance. While NNN leases reduce the rental income IIP can expect to receive, it also removes any chance of surprise expenses or inflation hurting the company.</p><p>Lastly, Innovative Industrial Properties might be one of the few pot stocks benefiting from weed remaining illegal at the federal level. Since most cannabis companies have limited access to basic financial services, IIP has been able to work out sale-leaseback agreements that benefit both parties.

Since the beginning of 1950, the benchmark S&P 500 has undergone 39 separate double-digit percentage corrections, according to data from sell-side consultancy firm Yardeni Research. In other words, the drubbing Wall Street took in 2022 is par for the course when investing for the long run.When the major indexes crossed the finish line last year, it was the growth-focused Nasdaq Composite that was hit hardest. The Nasdaq, which led the broader market to new highs in 2021, shed 33% of its value in 2022 and continues to stew in a bear market.But there's a silver lining in this bad news. Though we'll never be able to forecast exactly when a bear market will occur or how steep the decline will be, we do know that every previous bear market in the major U.S. stock indexes (including the Nasdaq) was eventually whisked away by a bull market. It effectively means that every bear market is the ideal time to put your money to work.It's an especially lucrative time to go shopping for growth stocks. What follows are five stunning growth stocks you'll regret not buying on the Nasdaq bear market dip.NioThe first phenomenal growth stock just begging to be bought during the bear market decline is China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio.

A big part of Berkshire&#39;s outperformance is thanks to its large equities portfolio now valued at more than $322 billion, where Buffett and his investing team buy and sell individual stocks.</p><p>When choosing individual stocks, retail investors can learn a lot from the Oracle of Omaha&#39;s investing strategy. They should take Warren Buffett&#39;s advice and buy stocks with these three attributes.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eaf4cfd62150fe71eaf74e63fe8dad0b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p><h2>1. Consistent performance</h2><p>The first thing Buffett looks for is whether or not the company he is interested in has a solid track record when it comes to financial performance.</p><p>One of the ways Buffett evaluates this is through return on shareholder equity (ROE), which is defined as net income divided by equity, and profit margins, which looks at how much of a company&#39;s revenue becomes profit. The goal is not to find a company that can generate a strong ROE or profit margin once, but one that can do it over and over and through a variety of different economic environments.</p><p>For instance, one of Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s largest holdings, the credit card and payments firm <b>American Express</b>, has generated above a 12% ROE for the last decade, and many times that ROE was 25% or above. Meanwhile, <b>Apple</b>, which is by far Berkshire&#39;s largest holding in its portfolio, has had over a 20% profit margin since 2010.</p><h2>2. Valuation</h2><p>Buffett has been a great value investor over the years; he purchases stocks trading below their intrinsic value that the market has either ignored or perhaps doesn&#39;t understand, but that will trade up to or above their intrinsic value over time.</p><p>Now, there is a method to the madness, and Buffett and Berkshire do not simply look for stocks trading at bargain valuations. As Buffett once wrote in a letter to shareholders, &#34;It&#39;s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.&#34;</p><p>That means don&#39;t let valuation blind you. If something is trading at a huge discount to its book value, there is likely a good reason for the discount. Instead, it&#39;s a better idea to find a company that is great and that you can buy at a fair valuation, which will serve you better long term.</p><p>One example is <b>Bank of America</b>, the second-largest holding in Berkshire&#39;s portfolio. Bank of America currently trades at about 160% of its tangible book value, which is hardly a discounted bank stock valuation, especially in today&#39;s market. But Bank of America is now the second-largest bank by assets in the U.S., is highly profitable, and has developed a strong moat with its deposit and lending franchise. Long term, Buffett believes this is still a very fair valuation at which to own the stock.</p><h2>3. An impenetrable brand</h2><p>Another theme you will see among many of Berkshire&#39;s holdings is incredibly strong brand power. Think Apple and <b>Coca-Cola</b>. Now, why does Buffett like strong brands? It&#39;s not because of the funny commercials.</p><p>The real reason is that strong brands provide these companies with a tremendous amount of pricing power. This comes in handy in times of high inflation like the one we are in today. Even though Apple&#39;s or Coca-Cola&#39;s cost of doing business has gone up, their strong brands allow them to raise the prices of their products without too much pushback from consumers.</p><p>Think about the iPhone and what a big part of people&#39;s lives it has become. If the price of an iPhone goes up $100, most consumers are still going to buy it anyway, especially if they&#39;ve been with the brand for a while. And how many times have you heard somebody say they will never drink <b>Pepsi</b> over Coke?</p><p>Even if Pepsi happens to be cheaper, odds are that if a person has a choice between the two, they are still likely going to pick Coke. Companies with this kind of branding power can be great long-term stocks to own.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

A big part of Berkshire's outperformance is thanks to its large equities portfolio now valued at more than $322 billion, where Buffett and his investing team buy and sell individual stocks.When choosing individual stocks, retail investors can learn a lot from the Oracle of Omaha's investing strategy. They should take Warren Buffett's advice and buy stocks with these three attributes.Image source: The Motley Fool.1. Consistent performanceThe first thing Buffett looks for is whether or not the company he is interested in has a solid track record when it comes to financial performance.One of the ways Buffett evaluates this is through return on shareholder equity (ROE), which is defined as net income divided by equity, and profit margins, which looks at how much of a company's revenue becomes profit. The goal is not to find a company that can generate a strong ROE or profit margin once, but one that can do it over and over and through a variety of different economic environments.For instance, one of Berkshire Hathaway's largest holdings, the credit card and payments firm American Express, has generated above a 12% ROE for the last decade, and many times that ROE was 25% or above. Meanwhile, Apple, which is by far Berkshire's largest holding in its portfolio, has had over a 20% profit margin since 2010.2. ValuationBuffett has been a great value investor over the years; he purchases stocks trading below their intrinsic value that the market has either ignored or perhaps doesn't understand, but that will trade up to or above their intrinsic value over time.Now, there is a method to the madness, and Buffett and Berkshire do not simply look for stocks trading at bargain valuations. As Buffett once wrote in a letter to shareholders, \"It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.\"That means don't let valuation blind you. If something is trading at a huge discount to its book value, there is likely a good reason for the discount. Instead, it's a better idea to find a company that is great and that you can buy at a fair valuation, which will serve you better long term.One example is Bank of America, the second-largest holding in Berkshire's portfolio. Bank of America currently trades at about 160% of its tangible book value, which is hardly a discounted bank stock valuation, especially in today's market. But Bank of America is now the second-largest bank by assets in the U.S., is highly profitable, and has developed a strong moat with its deposit and lending franchise. Long term, Buffett believes this is still a very fair valuation at which to own the stock.3. An impenetrable brandAnother theme you will see among many of Berkshire's holdings is incredibly strong brand power. Think Apple and Coca-Cola. Now, why does Buffett like strong brands? It's not because of the funny commercials.The real reason is that strong brands provide these companies with a tremendous amount of pricing power. This comes in handy in times of high inflation like the one we are in today. Even though Apple's or Coca-Cola's cost of doing business has gone up, their strong brands allow them to raise the prices of their products without too much pushback from consumers.Think about the iPhone and what a big part of people's lives it has become. If the price of an iPhone goes up $100, most consumers are still going to buy it anyway, especially if they've been with the brand for a while. And how many times have you heard somebody say they will never drink Pepsi over Coke?Even if Pepsi happens to be cheaper, odds are that if a person has a choice between the two, they are still likely going to pick Coke. Companies with this kind of branding power can be great long-term stocks to own.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":36,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9952811766,"gmtCreate":1674605433556,"gmtModify":1676538948421,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let it drop&nbsp;down to $210 to buy.!&nbsp;","listText":"Let it drop&nbsp;down to $210 to buy.!&nbsp;","text":"Let it drop down to $210 to buy.!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":17,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9952811766","repostId":"2306495123","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2306495123","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1674603819,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2306495123?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-25 07:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft Stock Turns Negative After Forecast Misses, CFO Warns About Deceleration","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2306495123","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Microsoft suggests sales in the current quarter will come in at least $1 billion lower than Wall Str","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Microsoft suggests sales in the current quarter will come in at least $1 billion lower than Wall Street expected as December slowdown is projected to continue into new year, gains of 4% and disappear in after-hours trading</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0824503f0217521fd863e450d46b66b5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"473\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Microsoft Corp. reported fiscal second-quarter earnings Tuesday.

AFP/GETTY IMAGESMicrosoft Corp.’s profit declined more than 12% in the holiday season, and executives said Tuesday that a revenue deceleration in December is expected to continue into the new year as the company lays off workers.Microsoft reported fiscal second-quarter earnings of $16.43 billion, or $2.20 a share, a decline from $2.48 a share a year ago. The company also reported that severance, impairment and lease-consolidation costs cost it 12 cents a share, which would lead to adjusted earnings of $2.32 a share; Microsoft executives did not provide adjusted earnings a year ago, and typically stick to GAAP profit readings.Revenue increased to $52.75 billion from $51.7 billion in the holiday quarter of 2022. Analysts on average expected earnings of $2.29 a share on sales of $52.99 billion, according to FactSet.For the current quarter, Microsoft executives expect revenue of $50.5 billion to $51.5 billion, according to guidance provided by Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood in a conference call Tuesday afternoon. Analysts on average were expecting fiscal third-quarter revenue of $52.42 billion, according to FactSet.Hood said that Microsoft observed a slowdown in customer spending in December, and expects that to continue. Azure grew by 38% in constant currency, topping expectations, but Hood said that they exited December in the “mid-30s” after the deceleration, and executives expect that percentage to fall four or five points in the current quarter. Analysts were projecting Azure growth of 27.8% for the quarter, or 33.7% in constant currency, according to FactSet.Microsoft shares gained more than 4% in after-hours trading immediately following the release of the results, but they began to drop after the forecast and December deceleration news were shared. The stock was down 1% as of 8:00 p.m. Eastern.Microsoft’s forecast takes on extra importance this quarter, as analysts believe that businesses slowed down deals at the end of 2022 to cut costs and for other reasons, and Wall Street will want to know if Microsoft expects any deals that didn’t close before the end of the year will be included in the current quarter’s results. Microsoft executives told investors at the end of the last fiscal year that they expect double-digit percentage growth in revenue and operating margins, but a lot has happened since then.Microsoft announced thousands of layoffs last week, part of a wave of job cuts from Big Tech companies that increased their workforces at a rapid pace in the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wall Street analysts believed the move signaled concerns about revenue growth.“We expect that the head-count reduction announcement … will likely be accompanied by a lower revenue outlook for the second half of the FY, but the actions taken by the company are an illustration of how Microsoft can dynamically adjust its cost base to preserve EPS and free cash flow given the macro choppiness,” Evercore ISI analysts wrote in a preview of the earnings, while maintaining an outperform rating and $280 target price on the stock.Microsoft executives hope to provide a rosier outlook with other deals. The day before its earnings report, the company officially announced a long-expected third investment in ChatGPT creator OpenAI, which includes plans to incorporate the technology into services such as Microsoft’s Azure cloud-computing offering and Bing search engine. Microsoft is also still in the process of acquiring videogame-publishing giant Activision Blizzard Inc. for $69 billion, though it is facing pushback from regulators worldwide.“We are particularly keen for updates on this deal, and would pay special attention to what sorts of concessions Microsoft is prepared to make at this point, and at what point the concessions make the deal unattractive to shareholders,” Macquarie Research analysts wrote of the Activision acquisition, while maintaining a neutral rating but decreasing their price target to $232 from $234.Microsoft reported cloud revenue of $21.5 billion, up from $18.33 billion a year ago and narrowly topping the average analyst estimate of $21.43 billion, according to FactSet.

PC shipments suffered their worst decline ever recorded in the holiday season, according to third-party analyses, after a boom in PC sales during 2020 and 2021.Microsoft’s enterprise-software business had sales of $17 billion, up from $15.94 billion a year ago and beating the FactSet analyst consensus of $16.79 billion.Microsoft shares have declined 18.4% in the past 12 months, as the S&P 500 index has dropped 8.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average — which counts Microsoft as one of its 30 components — has declined 2.1%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":12,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193252176670880,"gmtCreate":1688210237589,"gmtModify":1688210242452,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let's go NIO.....

The stock is rising, but gains have lit","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Tesla posted better-than-expected fourth-quarter net income. The stock is rising, but gains have little to do with the past. Investors liked what they heard from the company about the future. So did the Street.</p><p>Wednesday evening, the electric-vehicles giant reported record net income and earnings per share of $1.19. Wall Street was looking for about $1.13 a share.</p><p>Tesla (ticker: TSLA) stock rose 11% Thursday, hitting $160.27 a share. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were up about 1.1% and 1.8%, respectively.</p><p>“Demand has been the biggest question entering 2023 after recent price cuts and fear of a macro slowdown,” wrote Baird analyst Ben Kallo in a Wednesday report. “Demand [is] still strong and outpacing production capacity.”</p><p>Tesla plans to make about 1.8 million cars in 2023, up from about 1.37 million produced in 2022. CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday evening that orders were outpacing production two to one. All that was enough to sooth investors’ nerves. (Coming into Thursday trading, Tesla stock was down about 34% over the past three months.)</p><p>Kallo rates Tesla shares Buy. His price target is $252 a share. Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh also rates shares Buy. His price target is $250 a share.</p><p>Rakesh wrote that quarterly profit margins were better than feared in his Thursday research report. Profit margins were a concern for investors after Tesla offered discounts at the end of 2022 and dramatically cut prices at the start of 2023. Rakesh also pointed out that while prices are coming down, Tesla has cost offsets to help cushion the margin impact—including better utilization at two new manufacturing plants and falling raw material prices.</p><p>“Management commentary suggest [gross profit margins] should remain above the 20% in a single quarter,” wrote Emmanuel Rosner in a Thursday report. The first quarter of 2023 is “positioned to be the trough for the year and margins incrementally improve throughout the year.”</p><p>Tesla produced automotive gross profit margins of about 26% for all of 2022. Rosner rates Tesla stock Buy and has a $220 price target for the shares.</p><p>Cowen analyst Jeffery Osborne rates shares Hold. He took his price target up to $140 from $122 after earnings. He still has concerns about falling vehicle prices and the impact on margins, but noted that Tesla’s energy storage business is looking better than he expected. Tesla deployed 2.5 gigawatt hours of battery storage capacity in the fourth quarter, up 152% year over year.</p><p>BoA Securities analyst John Murphy also rates shares Hold. He called results mixed in a Thursday report, but raised his price target to $150 from $135 a share. “Stock appears fairly priced,” wrote Murphy, adding there is a lot of uncertainty faced by investors regarding the state of the global economy and Musk’s management of Twitter.</p><p>Most of the Street seems fine with Tesla’s numbers. “Solid results and upbeat demand out of the gate,” is how Wedbush analyst Dan Ives characterized the quarter. He rates shares Buy. He took his price target to $200 from $175 after earnings. Tesla’s demand commentary was what bulls wanted to hear, added Ives. “The bears (for now) will go back into hibernation mode,” he noted.</p><p>They will come out of hibernation soon. Next up for Tesla watchers is the company’s event on March 1. Topics will include the next-generation vehicle platform.

The market sputtered, but the same can&#39;t be said for the equities that I figured would be in for a week of hurt. The &#34;three stocks to avoid&#34; in my column last week that I thought were going to lose to the market -- <b>Cinemark Holdings</b>, <b>CVS Health</b>, and <b>Noodles &amp; Co.</b> -- rose 7.6%, climbed 5.7%, and sank 5.2%, respectively, averaging out to a 2.7% ascent.</p><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> experienced a 3.3% move lower. I was wrong. I have still been right in 35 of the past 55 weeks, or 64% of the time.</p><p>Now let&#39;s look at the week ahead. I see <b>Yeti Holdings</b>, <b>Redfin</b>, and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">Blink Charging</a></b> as stocks you might want to consider steering clear of this week. Let&#39;s go over my near-term concerns with all three investments.</p><h2><b>1. Yeti Holdings</b></h2><p>There&#39;s no denying the brand appeal of Yeti. If you&#39;re going to pay a premium for drinkware or a cooler, it&#39;s a fair shot that it will be a Yeti. The next few quarters could still prove challenging, though. The original Yeti, the fictional Himalayan beast, was built for winter, but the same can&#39;t be said about Yeti Holdings. We&#39;re seeing the economy sputter, and suddenly paying $35 for a 20-ounce Yeti tumbler doesn&#39;t seem like such a smart idea. We&#39;ll see how the company is holding up when it reports third-quarter results on Thursday morning.</p><p>Yeti stock plummeted when it last posted fresh financials three months ago. It was a rare miss on both ends of the income statement. Analysts see top-line growth decelerating to 15% this week on negative earnings growth. Declining container costs will help with shipments, but just about everything else -- including, more importantly, consumer demand -- seems to be going the wrong way.</p><p>William Blair analysts met with Yeti&#39;s CEO and CFO in mid-September, walking away encouraged, but less than a week later the CFO surprisingly resigned to find another gig closer to his family&#39;s home. The CFO&#39;s departure went into effect at the end of October. Why didn&#39;t he wait two more weeks to be there for a critical earnings report? The timing was surely a coincidence, but it&#39;s not a good look.</p><p>The long-term potential for Yeti remains strong and the current valuation is attractive. It just has some trends working against it right now. Winter is coming, Yeti.</p><h2><b>2. Redfin</b></h2><p>There&#39;s been more &#34;red&#34; than &#34;fin&#34; to Redfin these days. The stock is now 96% -- yes, 96% -- below the all-time high it hit early last year. Redfin stock is understandably out of favor. The real estate market is cracking from all sides, and Redfin&#39;s business is exposed like an unfinished attic.</p><p>Redfin reports quarterly results on Wednesday afternoon, and it&#39;s going to be problematic. Real estate demand has shriveled up as mortgage rates skyrocket, and lower prices are crushing its home-flipping business. With loss projections widening, it&#39;s easy to fret about the near-term challenges Redfin is facing. Like Yeti, Redfin has strong long-term upside given its current valuation, but there are too many negative catalysts swirling about to get the stock moving higher for now.</p><h2><b>3. Blink Charging</b></h2><p>Another low-priced stock reporting earnings this week that&#39;s going through a rough patch is Blink Charging. Revenue growth has been strong as it builds out its networking of electric-vehicle charging stations, but the top-line results are still microscopic. We&#39;re talking about $35.6 million in trailing revenue. And as far as the stock has fallen, it&#39;s still trading for a stiff 19 times trailing revenue.</p><p>The rub is that Blink Charging is losing a lot of money. It has posted larger-than-expected deficits in back-to-back quarters. Analysts have been widening their projections for red ink. Those same Wall Street pros see Blink Charging at least five years away from profitability. It will gets its say when it announces quarterly results on Tuesday afternoon. It might not have enough juice.</p><p>It&#39;s going to be a bumpy road for some of these investments. If you&#39;re looking for safe stocks, you aren&#39;t likely to find them in Yeti Holdings, Redfin, and Blink Charging this week.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks to Avoid This Week</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Stocks to Avoid This Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-08 23:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/11/07/3-stocks-to-avoid-this-week/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>November got off to a rough start last week.

Chaos in the banking sector following two bank failures has reoriented the market’s focus in recent days, but that doesn’t change the importance of the data.</p><p>The U.S. consumer price index (CPI) for February, a key indicator of goods and services inflation, is likely to show that price growth continued to moderate last month, albeit just slightly from January’s level. That suggests the Fed’s effort to tame inflation with higher rates is working, but slowly.</p><p>Economists surveyed by FactSet expect that CPI rose 6% year-over-year in February, a decline from 6.4% in January, with price growth falling to 0.4% month-over-month from 0.5% in January.</p><p>“With the year-over-year change in oil prices falling deeper into the negative territory, a notable slide in the headline CPI rate seems more than normal,” said Charalampos Pissouros, an analyst at broker XM.</p><p>Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, likely fell to an annual rate of 5.5% last month from 5.6% in January.</p><p>“Should the core rate slip by more than anticipated, market participants may feel more confident [of] the latest adjustment in their Fed bets,” said Pissouros.</p><p>Those bets refer to investors’ expectations for the U.S. central bank’s next move in rates. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points in February, compared with a 50-basis-point increase in December and several 75-basis-point increases last year. [A basis point is one hundredth of a percentage point.]</p><p>The rise in interest rates over the past 12 months helped spur a steep stock-market selloff, which resumed in February after stocks rallied in January.</p><p>Prior to last Friday’s failure of Silicon Valley Bank, and regulatory decisions to backstop depositors and open a new lending facility for banks, traders were split in their outlook for the next rate decision. Some expected the Fed to lift the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, and others, by 50 basis points.</p><p>Now, says Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist at LPL Financial, there is “a question as to whether the Fed will lift rates at all,” or announce a pause in the bank’s monthly quantitative tightening program.

Chaos in the banking sector following two bank failures has reoriented the market’s focus in recent days, but that doesn’t change the importance of the data.The U.S. consumer price index (CPI) for February, a key indicator of goods and services inflation, is likely to show that price growth continued to moderate last month, albeit just slightly from January’s level. That suggests the Fed’s effort to tame inflation with higher rates is working, but slowly.Economists surveyed by FactSet expect that CPI rose 6% year-over-year in February, a decline from 6.4% in January, with price growth falling to 0.4% month-over-month from 0.5% in January.“With the year-over-year change in oil prices falling deeper into the negative territory, a notable slide in the headline CPI rate seems more than normal,” said Charalampos Pissouros, an analyst at broker XM.Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, likely fell to an annual rate of 5.5% last month from 5.6% in January.“Should the core rate slip by more than anticipated, market participants may feel more confident [of] the latest adjustment in their Fed bets,” said Pissouros.Those bets refer to investors’ expectations for the U.S. central bank’s next move in rates. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points in February, compared with a 50-basis-point increase in December and several 75-basis-point increases last year. [A basis point is one hundredth of a percentage point.]The rise in interest rates over the past 12 months helped spur a steep stock-market selloff, which resumed in February after stocks rallied in January.Prior to last Friday’s failure of Silicon Valley Bank, and regulatory decisions to backstop depositors and open a new lending facility for banks, traders were split in their outlook for the next rate decision. Some expected the Fed to lift the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, and others, by 50 basis points.Now, says Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist at LPL Financial, there is “a question as to whether the Fed will lift rates at all,” or announce a pause in the bank’s monthly quantitative tightening program. The Fed might do both, she suggested.Monday, the futures market was pricing in a 35% chance that the Fed won’t change interest rates next week, and a 65% chance that it will hike by 25 basis points, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. A half-point rate hike is considered off the table.The sharp rise in interest rates over the past year left Silicon Valley Bank sitting with huge unrealized losses on its bond portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities. When the bank was forced to sell some of its holdings, incurring an actual loss of $1.8 billion, depositors fled.“A fascinating set up ahead of CPI tomorrow,” Jim Reid, a strategist at Deutsche Bank, said Monday.That’s putting it mildly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":73,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196776714272776,"gmtCreate":1689077074883,"gmtModify":1689082557515,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Where are you guys coming from?

(NASDAQ:TSLA) soared last week after its earnings call, from a low of $101.20 three weeks ago, and rebounded 76.85% to a share price of $178.97. The earnings call contained many subtle, yet very important and alarming clues that seemed to be rather overlooked by most.</p><p>We will explain why investors may want to tread carefully with Tesla, Inc., and perhaps wait for volatility to subside, due to the impact of higher interest rates and an impending consumer recession, which has not yet fully sunk in.</p><h2>Demand Headwinds?</h2><p>In terms of demand, the question right now is not necessarily whether Tesla will have enough demand, but rather how much pricing power they have vis-à-vis their 2023 output. Gross margin is a very important factor in that calculation.</p><p>If we look at Tesla&#39;sgross margins, they peaked at 32.9% in Q1 2022, and dropped to about 25.9% in Q4. That&#39;s quite a difference, because in Q1 Tesla did $16.86BN in sales, and $21.31BN in Q4, but made the same gross revenue attributable to such margin decline. Fortunately, Tesla has tremendous operating leverage, with OpEx. remaining almost miraculously flat over the past few years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/929b45b1bb1ca3ceeee75edbdbe8ccb8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TIKR Terminal</p><p>But the reduction in gross margin does signal to us that demand may not be as elastic as previously estimated by Tesla executives. We think thenext platform, where we could see vehicles produced for $25,000 or $30,000, will be crucial if Tesla wants to drive up profits, and make up for it in volume, given that the market for premium EVs is only so big.</p><p>As for margins, an analyst asked during the call about rumors that gross margins for cars would fall below 20% and that the average selling price (ASP) would fall below $47,000 after price cuts, to which management replied:</p><blockquote>So there is certainly a lot of uncertainty about how the year will unfold, but I&#39;ll share what&#39;s in our current forecast for a moment. So based upon these metrics here, we believe that we&#39;ll be above both of the metrics that are stated in the question, so 20% automotive gross margin, excluding leases and rent credits and then $47,000 ASP across all models. (Zachary Kirkhorn, CFO)</blockquote><p>Management also confirmed its intentions to produce 1.8 million vehicles by 2023, so we take all those 3 parameters in this valuation to set out the low bar of what Tesla definitely expects to deliver in terms of results. We think this is a conservative approach given the many uncertainties. At 1.8 million units, an ASP of $47k and a gross margin of 20%, that would mean $16.92BN in gross profit. If OpEx increased linearly as it has over the past 2 years, we would expect about $8BN in OpEx, which would bring operating income to about $8.92BN.</p><p>In our view, that is a scenario that could play out in a fairly severe recession, but it has been set as a benchmark by Tesla itself, which they could certainly beat. The reason we put that scenario on the table is mostly due toour foresightabout where the economy is going, and Elon Musk&#39;s comments. Currently, in terms of car sales, bothin Europeandthe U.S., things don&#39;t look so bleak. Fortunately, EVs are the least dirty shirt of all, still going strong.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91b93ec37a29e3b4ee254dce4c9a4efc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TIKR Terminal</p><p>We think Elon has also already given some small hints about what the automotive landscape looks like at the moment, sort of implying that he would not be surprised if Tesla shares fell to &#34;surprisingly low levels.&#34;</p><blockquote>As I said in the last call, there&#39;s going to be bumps along the way and we&#39;ll probably have a pretty difficult recession this year, probably. I hope not, but probably. And so, one can&#39;t predict the short-term sort of stock value, because when there&#39;s a recession and people panic and the stock market then prices of stocks, worth<b>value of stocks can drop sometimes to surprisingly low levels</b>. (Emphasis added.)</blockquote><p>About a recession, he had the following to say:</p><blockquote>Yes. My guess is, if there is --<b>if the recession is a serious one and I think it probably will be</b>, but I hope it isn&#39;t, that would lead to meaningful decreases in almost all of our input costs. So we expect to see deflation in our input costs most likely, which would then lead to, yes, better margin. I&#39;m just guessing here. So, this is -- that would be my guess. (Emphasis added.)</blockquote><p>Consequently, Elon Musk also thinks the U.S. is on the brink of a severe recession. Despite such comments, investors did not seem to act cautiously, especially after seeing the stock rise 75%+ in no time.</p><p>We think this volatility will persist. On the other hand, there is a possibility, that when we enter a recession, commodity prices tend to fall, as Elon thinks. On the other hand,according to strategists, commodity price inflation accelerates the world&#39;s transition away from fossil fuels by making renewables more competitive.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e879cc424aa6818a93210c38629c1b5a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data byYCharts</p><p>We doubt that statement a bit, because the demand for certain commodities such as lithium and copper has a very different dynamic now than in the past, while the demand for lithium-ion batteries and energy storage currently seems essentially infinite. Tesla itself is working toward 1,000 GWh.</p><p>That&#39;s still a long way off, as production of 1.31 million vehicles in 2022 would have required about 100 GWh+, according to our estimate. If Tesla were to exponentially double its lithium production, along with every other automaker, we believe it would be difficult to see production drop significantly, as we believe demand will continue to outstrip supply for quite some time.</p><p>However, management also seems to believe that these types of commodities are expected to remain high in 2023.</p><blockquote>On the raw materials and inflation side, where<b>lithium is the large driver there and this was a meaningful source of cost increase for us, we&#39;ll have to see where lithium prices go</b>. And we&#39;re not fully exposed to lithium prices, but I think in general, is what we&#39;ve seen from our forecast here, cost per car of lithium in 2023 will be higher than 2022. So that&#39;s a headwind that would have to be overcome to return back to those levels. (Emphasis added.)</blockquote><h2>Near-Term Valuation</h2><p>In the field of investing, there is a well-known saying that goes: look down, not up. This implies that investors should always strive to minimize the loss of principal. With that in mind, we will examine what the downside might look like under stressful conditions, as we saw in late 2022.</p><p>The usual indicators of economic turmoil, such as the 2-10-year yield curve or the3-month 10-yearyield curve, are deeply inverted, most since the 1980s. Combined with two consecutive quarters of negative GDP and a large amount of excess liquidity being withdrawn from the monetary system, and thelong and variable lagsof monetary policy, this will create interesting conditions in the 2H 2022.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a429bb67866c69349254583b0022343\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>However, going back to the bear case of about $8.92BN in operating income, we think investors are still willing to assign a higher multiple to the stock, as has been the case in the past. Tesla has always traded at a premium, whether that is because of its growth or an upbeat outlook is for another debate.</p><p>At a multiple of 30x, the stock would come out at $267.6BN, or only $84.74 in a rather worst-case scenario, closer to the $101.20 of 3 weeks ago. However, there is something to be said that it could be even lower if we look at statistics such as free cash flow. Tesla generated $7.6BN in FCF, currently trading at nearly 74x 2022 FCF, while it had industry-leading margins especially in 1H.</p><p>It is hard to find other companies at the same level as Tesla, producing the same output when it comes to EVs. In our opinion, BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) comes closest to Tesla,which produced911,140 EVs with pure batteries, or 1.86 million total plug-in vehicles. We understand that Chinese companies have been trading at a discount to U.S. stocks lately, due to geopolitical factors, although the discrepancy with Tesla is much larger compared to, say, other U.S. tech stocks versus Chinese tech stocks. TheHang Senghas a P/E ratio of 12.43 compared to21.76 for the S&amp;P 500(SPY).</p><p>On an LTM basis, BYD had $6.15BN in FCF, similar to Tesla as you can see in the chart below, but the company only hasa market capof $106.7BN. This means that, taking into account the U.S. stock premium, some might justify a valuation closer to $200BN, in times of distress. Or, as Musk would say, in a recession &#34;the value of stocks can sometimes fall to surprisingly low levels.&#34;</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4bdc9e9abcaea70f14ab8b7b1a7546dc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TIKR Terminal</p><p>If it ever gets close to BYD&#39;s relative valuation, and that bridge is closed, we do not rule out a scenario in which Tesla could touch that $200BN market cap, or $63.34 per share. That is mainly why we are currently giving a hold rating, because the risk of losing principal in the short to medium term could be quite high, in a market that is still in its early stages.</p><p>We have also not yet seen the impact of competition on margins, as they are extremelyslow in their transitionto EVs, not counting certain Chinese EV manufacturers. Here&#39;s what management had to say about their Chinese competitors:</p><blockquote>In the vehicle space, even though the market is shrinking, we&#39;re growing and EVs have doubled almost year-over-year. So, like it ever keeps up with the trend of EVs is going to be our competitor.<b>The Chinese are scary; we always say that</b>. (Emphasis added.)</blockquote><p>Elon also gave his input:</p><blockquote>I think we have a lot of respect for the car companies in China. They are the most competitive in the world, that is our experience and the Chinese market, it is the most competitive. They work the hardest and they work the smartest, that&#39;s so for the China car companies that we&#39;re competing against. And so we would guess, there are probably some company out of China<b>as the most likely to be second to Tesla</b>. (Emphasis added.)</blockquote><p>The issue of a buyback has also been on the table since Tesla was trading well above $200 but did not break through because they wanted to play it safe, with a potentially severe recession around the corner. About their $20BN balance sheet, he had the following to say:</p><blockquote>The cash is earning a ridiculous return, a good return. So it&#39;s like nontrivial. And the interest rate actually in the $20 billion is earning like quite a good amount.</blockquote><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b02559674a92712ba5d9641d9bdfc757\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data byYCharts</p><p>On the one hand, it seems a bit paradoxical to us. Currently, the highestinterest rateis 4.79% on a 6-month Treasury note, it&#39;s a bit strange to call that a good amount compared to the promised 50% revenue growth from Elon and his team. Though, we can totally see why Tesla doesn&#39;t want to do a buyback after the bouts they had in2008and2018, nearly bankrupt.</p><p>But having no confidence inissuing a buyback, and havingsold $40BNworth of shares himself, doesn&#39;t exactly scream downside protection and &#34;extremely undervalued&#34; stock to us.</p><p>Interest Rate Headwinds</p><p>About interest rates and the Federal Reserve, Elon had something remarkable to say toward the end of the talk that we don&#39;t think anyone really spoke about. He said the following:</p><blockquote>I&#39;ve made this point on Twitter a few times. I&#39;m sure a lot of people on this call understand the fact -- the basic value of a security is a function of the risk-free rate or<b>we&#39;ll see how risk-free it really is</b>but the T-bill rate. So if you&#39;ve got -- I think the -- I recall correctly, the S&amp;P 500 has a long-term rate of return of roughly 6%. And so I think that needs to be very cautious about having Fed rates that potentially exceeds 6%. (Emphasis added.)</blockquote><p>The suggestion that &#34;we&#39;ll see how risk-free it really is&#34; caught us somewhat by surprise, but it does confirm that serious economic turmoil is imminent. Or perhaps it refers to ahypothetical first defaultby the U.S. of the $31.4T debt ceiling recently reached.</p><p>Outside an economic downturn, we personally consider it likely that other events will occur as unintended consequences, such as a liquidity crunch like March 2020, turmoil in the Treasury market or something that might break through, such as the shadow banking/ Eurodollar system. Ray Dalio also warnedearlier this weekthat the dollar-dominated world order is &#34;fading.&#34;</p><p>So when it comes to policy mistakes, we believe the risks are higher than ever. Remember that interest rate hikes take at least12 monthsto have a widespread economic effect, and 18 months to be fully felt. Inflation is already starting to fall, and these increases at a record pace are not likely to be fully felt until 2H 2023. It may be in the interest of Tesla and the economy if the Fed proceeds cautiously.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5aa0af10c51a1332ede890af1bed82d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"247\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Federal Reserve (FRED)</p><p>Interest rates and auto loans, as a function of GDP, at about 5.5% of GDP, have almost never been higher.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) soared last week after its earnings call, from a low of $101.20 three weeks ago, and rebounded 76.85% to a share price of $178.97. The earnings call contained many subtle, yet very important and alarming clues that seemed to be rather overlooked by most.We will explain why investors may want to tread carefully with Tesla, Inc., and perhaps wait for volatility to subside, due to the impact of higher interest rates and an impending consumer recession, which has not yet fully sunk in.Demand Headwinds?In terms of demand, the question right now is not necessarily whether Tesla will have enough demand, but rather how much pricing power they have vis-à-vis their 2023 output. Gross margin is a very important factor in that calculation.If we look at Tesla'sgross margins, they peaked at 32.9% in Q1 2022, and dropped to about 25.9% in Q4. That's quite a difference, because in Q1 Tesla did $16.86BN in sales, and $21.31BN in Q4, but made the same gross revenue attributable to such margin decline. Fortunately, Tesla has tremendous operating leverage, with OpEx. remaining almost miraculously flat over the past few years.TIKR TerminalBut the reduction in gross margin does signal to us that demand may not be as elastic as previously estimated by Tesla executives. We think thenext platform, where we could see vehicles produced for $25,000 or $30,000, will be crucial if Tesla wants to drive up profits, and make up for it in volume, given that the market for premium EVs is only so big.As for margins, an analyst asked during the call about rumors that gross margins for cars would fall below 20% and that the average selling price (ASP) would fall below $47,000 after price cuts, to which management replied:So there is certainly a lot of uncertainty about how the year will unfold, but I'll share what's in our current forecast for a moment. So based upon these metrics here, we believe that we'll be above both of the metrics that are stated in the question, so 20% automotive gross margin, excluding leases and rent credits and then $47,000 ASP across all models. (Zachary Kirkhorn, CFO)Management also confirmed its intentions to produce 1.8 million vehicles by 2023, so we take all those 3 parameters in this valuation to set out the low bar of what Tesla definitely expects to deliver in terms of results. We think this is a conservative approach given the many uncertainties. At 1.8 million units, an ASP of $47k and a gross margin of 20%, that would mean $16.92BN in gross profit. If OpEx increased linearly as it has over the past 2 years, we would expect about $8BN in OpEx, which would bring operating income to about $8.92BN.In our view, that is a scenario that could play out in a fairly severe recession, but it has been set as a benchmark by Tesla itself, which they could certainly beat. The reason we put that scenario on the table is mostly due toour foresightabout where the economy is going, and Elon Musk's comments. Currently, in terms of car sales, bothin Europeandthe U.S., things don't look so bleak. Fortunately, EVs are the least dirty shirt of all, still going strong.TIKR TerminalWe think Elon has also already given some small hints about what the automotive landscape looks like at the moment, sort of implying that he would not be surprised if Tesla shares fell to \"surprisingly low levels.\"As I said in the last call, there's going to be bumps along the way and we'll probably have a pretty difficult recession this year, probably. I hope not, but probably. And so, one can't predict the short-term sort of stock value, because when there's a recession and people panic and the stock market then prices of stocks, worthvalue of stocks can drop sometimes to surprisingly low levels. (Emphasis added.)About a recession, he had the following to say:Yes. My guess is, if there is --if the recession is a serious one and I think it probably will be, but I hope it isn't, that would lead to meaningful decreases in almost all of our input costs. So we expect to see deflation in our input costs most likely, which would then lead to, yes, better margin. I'm just guessing here. So, this is -- that would be my guess. (Emphasis added.)Consequently, Elon Musk also thinks the U.S. is on the brink of a severe recession. Despite such comments, investors did not seem to act cautiously, especially after seeing the stock rise 75%+ in no time.We think this volatility will persist. On the other hand, there is a possibility, that when we enter a recession, commodity prices tend to fall, as Elon thinks. On the other hand,according to strategists, commodity price inflation accelerates the world's transition away from fossil fuels by making renewables more competitive.Data byYChartsWe doubt that statement a bit, because the demand for certain commodities such as lithium and copper has a very different dynamic now than in the past, while the demand for lithium-ion batteries and energy storage currently seems essentially infinite. Tesla itself is working toward 1,000 GWh.That's still a long way off, as production of 1.31 million vehicles in 2022 would have required about 100 GWh+, according to our estimate. If Tesla were to exponentially double its lithium production, along with every other automaker, we believe it would be difficult to see production drop significantly, as we believe demand will continue to outstrip supply for quite some time.However, management also seems to believe that these types of commodities are expected to remain high in 2023.On the raw materials and inflation side, wherelithium is the large driver there and this was a meaningful source of cost increase for us, we'll have to see where lithium prices go. And we're not fully exposed to lithium prices, but I think in general, is what we've seen from our forecast here, cost per car of lithium in 2023 will be higher than 2022. So that's a headwind that would have to be overcome to return back to those levels. (Emphasis added.)Near-Term ValuationIn the field of investing, there is a well-known saying that goes: look down, not up. This implies that investors should always strive to minimize the loss of principal. With that in mind, we will examine what the downside might look like under stressful conditions, as we saw in late 2022.The usual indicators of economic turmoil, such as the 2-10-year yield curve or the3-month 10-yearyield curve, are deeply inverted, most since the 1980s. Combined with two consecutive quarters of negative GDP and a large amount of excess liquidity being withdrawn from the monetary system, and thelong and variable lagsof monetary policy, this will create interesting conditions in the 2H 2022.Federal Reserve (FRED)However, going back to the bear case of about $8.92BN in operating income, we think investors are still willing to assign a higher multiple to the stock, as has been the case in the past. Tesla has always traded at a premium, whether that is because of its growth or an upbeat outlook is for another debate.At a multiple of 30x, the stock would come out at $267.6BN, or only $84.74 in a rather worst-case scenario, closer to the $101.20 of 3 weeks ago. However, there is something to be said that it could be even lower if we look at statistics such as free cash flow. Tesla generated $7.6BN in FCF, currently trading at nearly 74x 2022 FCF, while it had industry-leading margins especially in 1H.It is hard to find other companies at the same level as Tesla, producing the same output when it comes to EVs. In our opinion, BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) comes closest to Tesla,which produced911,140 EVs with pure batteries, or 1.86 million total plug-in vehicles. We understand that Chinese companies have been trading at a discount to U.S. stocks lately, due to geopolitical factors, although the discrepancy with Tesla is much larger compared to, say, other U.S. tech stocks versus Chinese tech stocks. TheHang Senghas a P/E ratio of 12.43 compared to21.76 for the S&P 500(SPY).On an LTM basis, BYD had $6.15BN in FCF, similar to Tesla as you can see in the chart below, but the company only hasa market capof $106.7BN. This means that, taking into account the U.S. stock premium, some might justify a valuation closer to $200BN, in times of distress. Or, as Musk would say, in a recession \"the value of stocks can sometimes fall to surprisingly low levels.\"TIKR TerminalIf it ever gets close to BYD's relative valuation, and that bridge is closed, we do not rule out a scenario in which Tesla could touch that $200BN market cap, or $63.34 per share. That is mainly why we are currently giving a hold rating, because the risk of losing principal in the short to medium term could be quite high, in a market that is still in its early stages.We have also not yet seen the impact of competition on margins, as they are extremelyslow in their transitionto EVs, not counting certain Chinese EV manufacturers. Here's what management had to say about their Chinese competitors:In the vehicle space, even though the market is shrinking, we're growing and EVs have doubled almost year-over-year. So, like it ever keeps up with the trend of EVs is going to be our competitor.The Chinese are scary; we always say that. (Emphasis added.)Elon also gave his input:I think we have a lot of respect for the car companies in China. They are the most competitive in the world, that is our experience and the Chinese market, it is the most competitive. They work the hardest and they work the smartest, that's so for the China car companies that we're competing against. And so we would guess, there are probably some company out of Chinaas the most likely to be second to Tesla. (Emphasis added.)The issue of a buyback has also been on the table since Tesla was trading well above $200 but did not break through because they wanted to play it safe, with a potentially severe recession around the corner. About their $20BN balance sheet, he had the following to say:The cash is earning a ridiculous return, a good return. So it's like nontrivial. And the interest rate actually in the $20 billion is earning like quite a good amount.Data byYChartsOn the one hand, it seems a bit paradoxical to us. Currently, the highestinterest rateis 4.79% on a 6-month Treasury note, it's a bit strange to call that a good amount compared to the promised 50% revenue growth from Elon and his team. Though, we can totally see why Tesla doesn't want to do a buyback after the bouts they had in2008and2018, nearly bankrupt.But having no confidence inissuing a buyback, and havingsold $40BNworth of shares himself, doesn't exactly scream downside protection and \"extremely undervalued\" stock to us.Interest Rate HeadwindsAbout interest rates and the Federal Reserve, Elon had something remarkable to say toward the end of the talk that we don't think anyone really spoke about. He said the following:I've made this point on Twitter a few times. I'm sure a lot of people on this call understand the fact -- the basic value of a security is a function of the risk-free rate orwe'll see how risk-free it really isbut the T-bill rate. So if you've got -- I think the -- I recall correctly, the S&P 500 has a long-term rate of return of roughly 6%. And so I think that needs to be very cautious about having Fed rates that potentially exceeds 6%. (Emphasis added.)The suggestion that \"we'll see how risk-free it really is\" caught us somewhat by surprise, but it does confirm that serious economic turmoil is imminent. Or perhaps it refers to ahypothetical first defaultby the U.S. of the $31.4T debt ceiling recently reached.Outside an economic downturn, we personally consider it likely that other events will occur as unintended consequences, such as a liquidity crunch like March 2020, turmoil in the Treasury market or something that might break through, such as the shadow banking/ Eurodollar system. Ray Dalio also warnedearlier this weekthat the dollar-dominated world order is \"fading.\"So when it comes to policy mistakes, we believe the risks are higher than ever. Remember that interest rate hikes take at least12 monthsto have a widespread economic effect, and 18 months to be fully felt. Inflation is already starting to fall, and these increases at a record pace are not likely to be fully felt until 2H 2023. It may be in the interest of Tesla and the economy if the Fed proceeds cautiously.Federal Reserve (FRED)Interest rates and auto loans, as a function of GDP, at about 5.5% of GDP, have almost never been higher. Consumer debt in general is at historically high levels. The impact of a Federal Funds rate above 5% can be felt harder, knowing that in the past, debt was much lower than GDP when interest rates were even higher.Applying this specifically to Tesla, there is a significant headwind that these higher rates create. We have not yet experienced interest rates being raised this far from near zero, but the effect on auto loans is already starting to be felt.The chart below shows the correlation between the Federal Funds Rate in red, thefinancing rateon 48-month auto loans in blue and total auto sales in green.Federal Reserve (FRED)The first thing to note is that there is usually a 3% spread between Federal Funds and loan rates, unless the interest rate is close to zero. If we have a Federal Funds rate of 5%, it is reasonable to estimate that loan rates will be near 8%, if not higher.Auto loans have been around 4.5% for the past 8 years. That difference will be felt. For example, if we take a standard Model Y, at 4.5% you would end up paying about $7,880 in interest, versus $14,470.Auto Loan CalculatorThat's a difference of about $6590, or a 10.45% increase in the total price when purchased with a loan, due to higher rates.

These typically once-in-a-decade events allow opportunistic investors to pounce on innovative, game-changing companies at a discount. And with Wall Street taking a drubbing last year, bargains abound -- if you&#39;re willing to do some digging.</p><p>As we move headlong into a new year filled with uncertainty, the following seven sensational stocks stand as being capable of doubling your money in 2023.</p><h2>1. Novavax</h2><p>The first phenomenal stock that has the potential to deliver triple-digit returns for its shareholders in the new year is biotech stock <b>Novavax</b>. Since hitting its all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic, shares of Novavax have plunged as much as 97%. But with its market cap down to $874 million, there are an abundance of reasons to believe Novavax could &#34;shoot&#34; higher.</p><p>Novavax is one of a handful of drug developers that earned acclaim by running clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. But unlike a majority of drugmakers, it was one of only three -- along with <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b> and <b>Moderna</b> -- to achieve at least a 90% vaccine efficacy with its vaccine, NVX-CoV2373.</p><p>The Novavax vaccine is also differentiated by its mechanism of action. Instead of being messenger-RNA-based, as with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, NVX-CoV2373 uses older technology and bits of spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus to teach a person&#39;s immune system how to recognize and fight the infection. For people who might be leery of taking an mRNA-based vaccine, Novavax provides a high-efficacy solution in developed and emerging markets.</p><p>In 2023, COVID-19 vaccine sales in the U.S. moved from advanced purchase agreements with the federal government to the private market. I expect this to improve Novavax&#39;s pricing power and help it better compete as an initial series and/or booster option.</p><p>Additionally, Novavax is sitting on an absolute mountain of cash. It ended September with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which was prior to its recent gross proceeds raise of $250 million from the sale of shares and convertible debt. This provides more-than-enough capital to run clinical studies involving NVX-CoV2373 as a combination therapy (influenza + COVID-19), as well as further its influenza and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidates.</p><h2>2. Green Thumb Industries</h2><p>A second high-caliber stock that can double your money in 2023 is U.S. cannabis multi-state operator (MSO) <b>Green Thumb Industries</b>. Although a lack of cannabis reform on Capitol Hill has been a buzzkill for pot stocks, Green Thumb Industries&#39; growth strategy has proved unstoppable.</p><p>Before digging into company specifics, it&#39;s important to note two macro factors working in Green Thumb&#39;s favor. First, approximately three-quarters of U.S. states have legalized marijuana in some capacity. This provides more-than-enough opportunity for MSOs to grow their sales and push toward profitability.</p><p>Second, cannabis has been treated as a nondiscretionary good. Even if the U.S. dips into a recession this year, history has shown that consumers will continue to buy pot products.</p><p>Green Thumb Industries had 77 operating dispensaries open as of Dec. 1, 2022, with a presence in 15 legalized states. It holds enough retail licenses in its back pocket to effectively double its retail-store presence over time. With BDSA forecasting an increase in legal U.S. weed sales to $42 billion by 2026 from an estimated $27 billion in 2022, Green Thumb looks like it&#39;s in great shape.</p><p>The secret sauce that makes Green Thumb tick is its revenue mix. While dried cannabis flower is most often associated with marijuana use, more than half of Green Thumb&#39;s revenue comes from derivative products, such as vapes, edibles, dabs, beverages, pre-rolls, and health and beauty products. These are higher-priced products that deliver much juicier margins than dried cannabis flower. This revenue mix is precisely why Green Thumb has delivered nine consecutive quarters of profit, based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).</p><p>With marijuana stocks getting thrashed to end the year following the exclusion of the SAFE Banking Act from the federal annual defense bill, now is the time to pounce on this industry leader.</p><h2>3. Bark</h2><p>For something way off the radar that can double your money in 2023, say hello to dog-focused products-and-services company <b>Bark</b>. Like virtually every other company that was brought to market via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2020 and 2021, Bark has been decimated since making its public debut. But thanks to an unstoppable trend and the expectation of an improving income statement, the company has the tools needed to double shareholders&#39; money in 2023.</p><p>Though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, the U.S. pet industry hasn&#39;t seemed to care. It&#39;s been well over a quarter century since year-over-year pet expenditures declined in the United States, according to data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA). What&#39;s more, the percentage of households that own a pet is higher now than at any point since the APPA began its survey on pet ownership in 1988. (Translation: Pet owners willingly open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their four-legged family members.)</p><p>What makes Bark so special is the company&#39;s direct-to-consumer (DTC) focus. While the company&#39;s revenue breakdown can be fluid, depending on when orders are placed, it&#39;s pretty common for Bark to generate about 10% of its revenue from brick-and-mortar retail stores. The remainder comes from the company&#39;s 2.24 million (and growing) active subscriptions.</p><p>A DTC-driven operating model lends to highly predictable cash flow and helps keep inventory levels from getting out of hand. In other words, Bark&#39;s operating model should lead to lower overhead costs than its peers.</p><p>Furthermore, Bark has seen strong add-on sales growth since introducing Bark Bright (a dental-products offering) during the pandemic. With the addition of Bark Eats, a dry-food subscription service catered to specific dog breeds, Bark should be able to substantially narrow its losses while maintaining a gross margin of around 60% in the coming quarters.</p><h2>4. PubMatic</h2><p>Another sensational stock with the competitive advantages necessary to double your money in 2023 is cloud-based adtech company <b>PubMatic</b>. While ad spending during the first half of the year could be dicey -- which isn&#39;t uncommon when economic uncertainty is high -- PubMatic finds itself perfectly positioned to take advantage of a shift in spending to digital platforms.</p><p>Prior to the advent of the internet, the buying and selling of ads and ad space was time-consuming and inefficient. But thanks to the internet and companies like PubMatic, programmatic ad platforms now do virtually all of the work. The digital ad industry (i.e., video, mobile, connected TV (CTV), and over-the-top programmatic ads) is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 14% through 2025.</p><p>PubMatic is a sell-side platform (SSP) that helps companies sell their digital display space to advertisers. As a result of consolidation, there aren&#39;t too many SSPs left, which puts PubMatic in an advantageous position within the space.</p><p>Although advertisers are upping their spending across all digital channels, the fastest growth has been seen with CTV. Not coincidentally, CTV accounts for a substantial portion of PubMatic&#39;s revenue, which is why it has consistently grown at a faster organic rate than the industry average.</p><p>In addition, PubMatic made the choice to design and build its own cloud-based programmatic ad platform. Though costly and time-consuming, this decision will allow the company to reap the rewards of higher operating margins as its revenue scales.</p><p>One final note: PubMatic ended September with $166.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with no debt. This means it has an enterprise value of just over $500 million, despite an industry-topping double-digit growth rate and recurring profits.</p><h2>5. Lovesac</h2><p>The fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer <b>Lovesac</b>. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said &#34;furniture retailer,&#34; because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.</p><p>One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac <i>is</i> its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac&#39;s products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.</p><p>Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. The functionality and optionality offered by Lovesac is unmatched.</p><p>Lovesac&#39;s operating model generally caters to middle- and upper-income millennials. These are folks who tend to appreciate Lovesac&#39;s ESG (environmental, social, and governance<i>) </i>tendencies. More importantly, the buying habits of these people tend to be less affected when minor economic downturns arise or inflation picks up. In short, Lovesac&#39;s business is unlikely to be hit as hard by high inflation or a recession as traditional furniture retailers.</p><p>But what&#39;s really allowed Lovesac to shine is its omnichannel sales approach. Despite having 189 retail locations spanning 40 states, it&#39;s been able to shift its sales online or utilize popup showrooms and a handful of brand-name partnerships, to bolster its sales. Similar to Bark, Lovesac has been able to use its DTC presence to lower its overhead expenses and push to full-year profitability.</p><p>In 2023, Lovesac&#39;s biggest catalyst looks like it will be inventory reduction. Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand. If Lovesac can maintain its double-digit organic growth rate, working through its inventory shouldn&#39;t be a problem.</p><h2>6. Petco Health &amp; Wellness</h2><p>The next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer <b>Petco Health and Wellness</b>. That&#39;s right, this list is doubling down on pet owners&#39; willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled &#34;family members&#34; in the new year.</p><p>Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company&#39;s disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.</p><p>Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores. This deal was for Thrive&#39;s 50% stake in that joint venture.</p><p>But as noted, spending on pets has effectively been recession-proof since the mid-1990s. While growth slowdowns are certainly possible, a record level of pet ownership in the wake of the pandemic bodes well for companies like Petco.</p><p>What&#39;s far more important is that Petco&#39;s focus on subscription services and digital sales is beginning to pay off. Even though in-store interactions will continue to generate the bulk of the company&#39;s sales, the pandemic taught Petco&#39;s management team the importance of having a beefed-up online presence. Digital sales were up 10% from the prior-year period in the company&#39;s fiscal quarter ended Oct. 29, 2022, and 42% when looking back two years.</p><p>In terms of subscriptions, the company now has north of 400,000 Vital Care members. Vital Care provides members discounts on various products, grooming, and routine vet exams and has seen its recurring revenue jump 56% from the previous year. If Petco can sustain strong double-digit recurring revenue and subscription growth in 2023, it could reasonably reverse course and retrace all of its losses from last year.</p><h2>7. Redfin</h2><p>Last but not least, consider technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> as a stock that can double your money in 2023.</p><p>There&#39;s absolutely no sugarcoating how poor the past year and change has been for real estate-focused businesses. Redfin has lost approximately 96% of its value since reaching its all-time high, and rapidly rising mortgage rates are doing the industry no favors.</p><p>A report from the company notes that home sales plummeted 35% in November from the prior-year period, the largest decline on record. And new listings plunged 28%, which is the second-largest year-over-year drop in history.</p><p>Despite this abysmal data, it&#39;s plausible that pessimists have overshot to the downside, considering the competitive advantages Redfin offers when compared to traditional real estate firms.</p><p>For example, traditional real estate companies and agents charge anywhere from 2.5% to 3% for their services. Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).</p><p>Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin&#39;s gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.</p><p>The final consideration with Redfin is that it&#39;s exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow. This segment purchased homes for cash, which were later resold.</p><p>Ending this program and paring down its portfolio of assets will bolster the company&#39;s cash position while lowering expenses. Management believes this combination of cost-cutting and refocusing on its bread-and-butter internet service-based advantages can lead the company to a profitable year in 2024.</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>7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023</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\">\n7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-04 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19%...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"LOVE":"Lovesac Co.","PUBM":"PubMatic, Inc.","GTBIF":"Green Thumb Industries Inc.","NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","WOOF":"Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc.","BARK":"The Original Bark Corp.","RDFN":"Redfin Corp"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2300434056","content_text":"Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19% and 33%, respectively -- bear markets are known to be blessings in disguise. These typically once-in-a-decade events allow opportunistic investors to pounce on innovative, game-changing companies at a discount. And with Wall Street taking a drubbing last year, bargains abound -- if you're willing to do some digging.As we move headlong into a new year filled with uncertainty, the following seven sensational stocks stand as being capable of doubling your money in 2023.1. NovavaxThe first phenomenal stock that has the potential to deliver triple-digit returns for its shareholders in the new year is biotech stock Novavax. Since hitting its all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic, shares of Novavax have plunged as much as 97%. But with its market cap down to $874 million, there are an abundance of reasons to believe Novavax could \"shoot\" higher.Novavax is one of a handful of drug developers that earned acclaim by running clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. But unlike a majority of drugmakers, it was one of only three -- along with Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna -- to achieve at least a 90% vaccine efficacy with its vaccine, NVX-CoV2373.The Novavax vaccine is also differentiated by its mechanism of action. Instead of being messenger-RNA-based, as with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, NVX-CoV2373 uses older technology and bits of spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus to teach a person's immune system how to recognize and fight the infection. For people who might be leery of taking an mRNA-based vaccine, Novavax provides a high-efficacy solution in developed and emerging markets.In 2023, COVID-19 vaccine sales in the U.S. moved from advanced purchase agreements with the federal government to the private market. I expect this to improve Novavax's pricing power and help it better compete as an initial series and/or booster option.Additionally, Novavax is sitting on an absolute mountain of cash. It ended September with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which was prior to its recent gross proceeds raise of $250 million from the sale of shares and convertible debt. This provides more-than-enough capital to run clinical studies involving NVX-CoV2373 as a combination therapy (influenza + COVID-19), as well as further its influenza and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidates.2. Green Thumb IndustriesA second high-caliber stock that can double your money in 2023 is U.S. cannabis multi-state operator (MSO) Green Thumb Industries. Although a lack of cannabis reform on Capitol Hill has been a buzzkill for pot stocks, Green Thumb Industries' growth strategy has proved unstoppable.Before digging into company specifics, it's important to note two macro factors working in Green Thumb's favor. First, approximately three-quarters of U.S. states have legalized marijuana in some capacity. This provides more-than-enough opportunity for MSOs to grow their sales and push toward profitability.Second, cannabis has been treated as a nondiscretionary good. Even if the U.S. dips into a recession this year, history has shown that consumers will continue to buy pot products.Green Thumb Industries had 77 operating dispensaries open as of Dec. 1, 2022, with a presence in 15 legalized states. It holds enough retail licenses in its back pocket to effectively double its retail-store presence over time. With BDSA forecasting an increase in legal U.S. weed sales to $42 billion by 2026 from an estimated $27 billion in 2022, Green Thumb looks like it's in great shape.The secret sauce that makes Green Thumb tick is its revenue mix. While dried cannabis flower is most often associated with marijuana use, more than half of Green Thumb's revenue comes from derivative products, such as vapes, edibles, dabs, beverages, pre-rolls, and health and beauty products. These are higher-priced products that deliver much juicier margins than dried cannabis flower. This revenue mix is precisely why Green Thumb has delivered nine consecutive quarters of profit, based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).With marijuana stocks getting thrashed to end the year following the exclusion of the SAFE Banking Act from the federal annual defense bill, now is the time to pounce on this industry leader.3. BarkFor something way off the radar that can double your money in 2023, say hello to dog-focused products-and-services company Bark. Like virtually every other company that was brought to market via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2020 and 2021, Bark has been decimated since making its public debut. But thanks to an unstoppable trend and the expectation of an improving income statement, the company has the tools needed to double shareholders' money in 2023.Though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, the U.S. pet industry hasn't seemed to care. It's been well over a quarter century since year-over-year pet expenditures declined in the United States, according to data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA). What's more, the percentage of households that own a pet is higher now than at any point since the APPA began its survey on pet ownership in 1988. (Translation: Pet owners willingly open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their four-legged family members.)What makes Bark so special is the company's direct-to-consumer (DTC) focus. While the company's revenue breakdown can be fluid, depending on when orders are placed, it's pretty common for Bark to generate about 10% of its revenue from brick-and-mortar retail stores. The remainder comes from the company's 2.24 million (and growing) active subscriptions.A DTC-driven operating model lends to highly predictable cash flow and helps keep inventory levels from getting out of hand. In other words, Bark's operating model should lead to lower overhead costs than its peers.Furthermore, Bark has seen strong add-on sales growth since introducing Bark Bright (a dental-products offering) during the pandemic. With the addition of Bark Eats, a dry-food subscription service catered to specific dog breeds, Bark should be able to substantially narrow its losses while maintaining a gross margin of around 60% in the coming quarters.4. PubMaticAnother sensational stock with the competitive advantages necessary to double your money in 2023 is cloud-based adtech company PubMatic. While ad spending during the first half of the year could be dicey -- which isn't uncommon when economic uncertainty is high -- PubMatic finds itself perfectly positioned to take advantage of a shift in spending to digital platforms.Prior to the advent of the internet, the buying and selling of ads and ad space was time-consuming and inefficient. But thanks to the internet and companies like PubMatic, programmatic ad platforms now do virtually all of the work. The digital ad industry (i.e., video, mobile, connected TV (CTV), and over-the-top programmatic ads) is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 14% through 2025.PubMatic is a sell-side platform (SSP) that helps companies sell their digital display space to advertisers. As a result of consolidation, there aren't too many SSPs left, which puts PubMatic in an advantageous position within the space.Although advertisers are upping their spending across all digital channels, the fastest growth has been seen with CTV. Not coincidentally, CTV accounts for a substantial portion of PubMatic's revenue, which is why it has consistently grown at a faster organic rate than the industry average.In addition, PubMatic made the choice to design and build its own cloud-based programmatic ad platform. Though costly and time-consuming, this decision will allow the company to reap the rewards of higher operating margins as its revenue scales.One final note: PubMatic ended September with $166.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with no debt. This means it has an enterprise value of just over $500 million, despite an industry-topping double-digit growth rate and recurring profits.5. LovesacThe fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer Lovesac. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said \"furniture retailer,\" because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac is its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac's products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. The functionality and optionality offered by Lovesac is unmatched.Lovesac's operating model generally caters to middle- and upper-income millennials. These are folks who tend to appreciate Lovesac's ESG (environmental, social, and governance) tendencies. More importantly, the buying habits of these people tend to be less affected when minor economic downturns arise or inflation picks up. In short, Lovesac's business is unlikely to be hit as hard by high inflation or a recession as traditional furniture retailers.But what's really allowed Lovesac to shine is its omnichannel sales approach. Despite having 189 retail locations spanning 40 states, it's been able to shift its sales online or utilize popup showrooms and a handful of brand-name partnerships, to bolster its sales. Similar to Bark, Lovesac has been able to use its DTC presence to lower its overhead expenses and push to full-year profitability.In 2023, Lovesac's biggest catalyst looks like it will be inventory reduction. Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand. If Lovesac can maintain its double-digit organic growth rate, working through its inventory shouldn't be a problem.6. Petco Health & WellnessThe next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer Petco Health and Wellness. That's right, this list is doubling down on pet owners' willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled \"family members\" in the new year.Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company's disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores. This deal was for Thrive's 50% stake in that joint venture.But as noted, spending on pets has effectively been recession-proof since the mid-1990s. While growth slowdowns are certainly possible, a record level of pet ownership in the wake of the pandemic bodes well for companies like Petco.What's far more important is that Petco's focus on subscription services and digital sales is beginning to pay off. Even though in-store interactions will continue to generate the bulk of the company's sales, the pandemic taught Petco's management team the importance of having a beefed-up online presence. Digital sales were up 10% from the prior-year period in the company's fiscal quarter ended Oct. 29, 2022, and 42% when looking back two years.In terms of subscriptions, the company now has north of 400,000 Vital Care members. Vital Care provides members discounts on various products, grooming, and routine vet exams and has seen its recurring revenue jump 56% from the previous year. If Petco can sustain strong double-digit recurring revenue and subscription growth in 2023, it could reasonably reverse course and retrace all of its losses from last year.7. RedfinLast but not least, consider technology-driven real estate company Redfin as a stock that can double your money in 2023.There's absolutely no sugarcoating how poor the past year and change has been for real estate-focused businesses. Redfin has lost approximately 96% of its value since reaching its all-time high, and rapidly rising mortgage rates are doing the industry no favors.A report from the company notes that home sales plummeted 35% in November from the prior-year period, the largest decline on record. And new listings plunged 28%, which is the second-largest year-over-year drop in history.Despite this abysmal data, it's plausible that pessimists have overshot to the downside, considering the competitive advantages Redfin offers when compared to traditional real estate firms.For example, traditional real estate companies and agents charge anywhere from 2.5% to 3% for their services. Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin's gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.The final consideration with Redfin is that it's exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow. This segment purchased homes for cash, which were later resold.Ending this program and paring down its portfolio of assets will bolster the company's cash position while lowering expenses. Management believes this combination of cost-cutting and refocusing on its bread-and-butter internet service-based advantages can lead the company to a profitable year in 2024.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":96,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9928333074,"gmtCreate":1671189534098,"gmtModify":1676538506127,"author":{"id":"4096841192952540","authorId":"4096841192952540","name":"suthanb4u","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f20cddb20a5bf9628a34649fd09fd65","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4096841192952540","authorIdStr":"4096841192952540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm..

This only happens four times a year, once every quarter.Additionally, the biggest slug of equity options expires in December, and this year is no exception, Fishman said, as the $4 trillion expiring Friday is the largest option exposure since at least the beginning of the year.Reliance on options by both retail and institutional traders has increased this year as traders turn to short-term contracts to try to profit from large, last-minute swings, according to Callie Cox, US. Investment Analyst at eToro.“We’ve seen a lot of retail clients look to options at the end of the year to think about hedging and speculating,” Cox said, adding that on Friday “there was going to be a huge option expiration.”Options involving $2.4 trillion in S&P 500 index futures are expected to be the main event on Friday, with hundreds of thousands of contracts with strike prices centered around the 4,000 level set to expire, according to Brent Kochuba, founder of options analytical service Spotgama.Puts and calls on the large-cap index are “very focused on the 4,000 strike,” Kochuba said in emailed comments to MarketWatch, adding that the recent turbulence in the markets suggests that traders may be underestimating That’s how volatile markets can be at the end of the year.The low level of liquidity, which is typical during the latter half of December, could weigh on stocks further as options dealers scramble to adjust their positions accordingly, said Garrett DeSimone, principal quant at Options Metrics.“Large hypothetical expirations can cause turbulence, especially during periods of increased volatility or constrained liquidity. When large amounts are flushed through gamma expirations, it is important for market makers to adjust their delta hedges. Rebalancing has to go through. This can lead to short-term volatility in the markets, which can lead to higher volatility,” DeSimone said.US stocks declined on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling over 750 points to book its worst day in three months. S&P 500 recorded its worst day in more than two months, while the Nasdaq Composite, It recorded its biggest decline since the beginning of November.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":37,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
