In the coming year, analysts expect the combo of the two events will eat into Apple's China business.</p><p>Here are five things to watch for as Apple unveils its next iPhone, according to analysts.</p><h2 id=\"id_3137487479\">1. USB-C</h2><p>Both the Pro and base models of the iPhone 15 are expected to transition to a new connector port, moving away from its proprietary Lightning connector that has been in use since 2012 with the iPhone 5. Apple will at last be embracing USB-C, a common connector standard found in many consumer electronics, including rival Android phones.</p><p>With the move to USB-C, Apple is complying with European Union legislation that the company previously opposed. "Obviously, we'll have to comply," Greg Joswiak, Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said at The Wall Street Journal's Tech Live conference last year.</p><h2 id=\"id_452050455\">2. Price</h2><p>The smartphone market has slowed down in recent years, and Apple has responded by trying to entice buyers to buy its more premium segment Pro iPhones. Up until recently, the strategy has worked well, with booming sales and profit.</p><p>But Apple's iPhone business is slowing again, so now the company is expected to see how far it can push this strategy. Analysts are expecting the Pro lineup of the iPhone 15 could increase prices by $100 or potentially even $200. Last year's iPhone 14 Pro started at $999, and the larger Pro Max began at $1,099.</p><h2 id=\"id_2324812886\">3. Satellite</h2><p>A popular feature to come out of last year's iPhone 14 was the added functionality of satellite communication. The feature has been limited for now, with satellite connectivity only being used for sending messages to emergency services when the user is outside of cellular wireless coverage.</p><p>Many in the industry are waiting to see if Apple expands those satellite capabilities. Apple's main China competitor, Huawei, launched a phone last week that advertised the ability for users to make calls, not just messages, in areas without traditional mobile coverage.</p><h2 id=\"id_2185930787\">4. Chipset</h2><p>The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be powered with a new custom chipset designed in-house by Apple engineers and manufactured on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's latest 3-nanometer chip fabrication process. As typical with an updated Apple chip, it will enable speedier performance and greater energy efficiency with the iPhone 15 Pros.</p><p>The two iPhone 15 base models, on the other hand, are expected to come with last year's chip, the A16 Bionic processor. Apple began providing its Pro phones exclusively with its most advanced chips last year with the iPhone 14 generation.</p><h2 id=\"id_980160613\">5. Button</h2><p>Apple will likely mix up a feature found in every iPhone since the very beginning: the mute switch. In place of the switch, the Pro models will likely have a simple button that can be programmed by users to perform certain actions, such as quickly opening the camera app or turning on the flashlight. It is a similar function to one first found in the Apple Watch Ultra released last year.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple Set to Unveil Latest iPhone: 5 Things to Watch</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\">\nApple Set to Unveil Latest iPhone: 5 Things to Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-09-12 09:50</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>Among the expected new features are a different connector cord, a new buttonāand a higher price</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/828af766f9577b7145bf56b4e2eddd01\" alt=\"The iPhone still accounts for around half of Appleās overall sales. \" title=\"The iPhone still accounts for around half of Appleās overall sales. \" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/><span>The iPhone still accounts for around half of Appleās overall sales. </span></p><p>Apple is holding its annual hardware refresher on Tuesday at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif.

In place of the switch, the Pro models will likely have a simple button that can be programmed by users to perform certain actions, such as quickly opening the camera app or turning on the flashlight. It is a similar function to one first found in the Apple Watch Ultra released last year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":582,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9932927088,"gmtCreate":1662865452445,"gmtModify":1676537153851,"author":{"id":"4098678914535810","authorId":"4098678914535810","name":"Autnet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bda7244c323527b36de06db53911ab08","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4098678914535810","authorIdStr":"4098678914535810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Quite like the dynamic island... is a nice feature to have... cheers š","listText":"Quite like the dynamic island... is a nice feature to have... cheers š","text":"Quite like the dynamic island... is a nice feature to have... cheers š","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9932927088","repostId":"2266965998","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":504,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9906712060,"gmtCreate":1659588878353,"gmtModify":1705981980224,"author":{"id":"4098678914535810","authorId":"4098678914535810","name":"Autnet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bda7244c323527b36de06db53911ab08","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4098678914535810","authorIdStr":"4098678914535810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for the info...

And the stocks of EV-charging network companyĀ <b>EVgo</b>(NASDAQ:EVGO)and vehicle electrification companyĀ <b>XL Fleet</b>(NYSE:XL)are also on the rise. The stocks had moved as follows as today:</p><ul><li>Nio shares up 14.76%</li><li>EVgo shares up 9.08%</li><li>XL Fleet shares up 7.9%</li></ul><p>So what</p><p>The thing is, these stocks have very little in common, other than the glaring fact that they all are in theĀ electric vehicleĀ sector. And that tells the story of today's big moves. Though these businesses have not exactly been moving in the same direction, the stock prices have. They are all down significantly in 2021. XL Fleet shares have dropped 59% year to date, while EVgo and Nio stocks are down 37% and 35%, respectively. But the businesses aren't quite as synchronized. Nio's sales are growing quickly, and it announced some exciting plans for next year, including the introduction of its latest EV that it hopes will challenge theĀ <b>Tesla</b>Ā Model 3.</p><p>Nio told investors it expects to begin deliveries of the new ET5 in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>Now what</p><p>Nio is clearly the largest of these stocks, and likely the closest to profitability. With today's move, Nio has aĀ market capitalizationĀ of about $52 billion. Compare that to EVgo's valuation of $2.7 billion and XL Fleet at just over $500 million. There's aĀ good reason for that, too.</p><p>In addition to Nio's new ET5 coming late next year, it will begin selling its new, larger luxury sedan in March 2022. And beyond the ET5 and larger ET7, Nio has said it plans a third new offering next year. That may come fromĀ a collaboration with the largest automotive company in China, but it has yet to be officially announced.</p><p>Nio is also continuing to move outside of China as it expands the growth it began in Europe in 2021. EVgo and XL Fleet also have plans to grow, but the results are coming much slower than with Nio. XL Fleet, for example, saw its third-quarter revenue nearly cut in half compared to the third quarter of 2020. XL Fleet converts internal combustion-powered vehicles to plug-in hybrid electric power. It also plans to have a fully electrical conversion solution soon. But as auto manufacturers have struggled to keep up with demand amid supply chain constraints this year, the company hasn't been able to drive the growth it had hoped for.</p><p>However, XL Fleet recently announced it has grown its relationship with utility-scale wind and solar power facilities operators for charging infrastructure to support the fleet vehicles it has already provided. It is also in a pilot program with the Department of Defense that it hopes could grow into a large opportunity.</p><p>So while Nio and EVgo are growing as EV demand and adoption grows, XL Fleet is struggling at this point.

And the stocks of EV-charging network companyĀ EVgo(NASDAQ:EVGO)and vehicle electrification companyĀ XL Fleet(NYSE:XL)are also on the rise. The stocks had moved as follows as today:Nio shares up 14.76%EVgo shares up 9.08%XL Fleet shares up 7.9%So whatThe thing is, these stocks have very little in common, other than the glaring fact that they all are in theĀ electric vehicleĀ sector. And that tells the story of today's big moves. Though these businesses have not exactly been moving in the same direction, the stock prices have. They are all down significantly in 2021. XL Fleet shares have dropped 59% year to date, while EVgo and Nio stocks are down 37% and 35%, respectively. But the businesses aren't quite as synchronized. Nio's sales are growing quickly, and it announced some exciting plans for next year, including the introduction of its latest EV that it hopes will challenge theĀ TeslaĀ Model 3.Nio told investors it expects to begin deliveries of the new ET5 in the fourth quarter of 2022.Now whatNio is clearly the largest of these stocks, and likely the closest to profitability. With today's move, Nio has aĀ market capitalizationĀ of about $52 billion. Compare that to EVgo's valuation of $2.7 billion and XL Fleet at just over $500 million. There's aĀ good reason for that, too.In addition to Nio's new ET5 coming late next year, it will begin selling its new, larger luxury sedan in March 2022. And beyond the ET5 and larger ET7, Nio has said it plans a third new offering next year. That may come fromĀ a collaboration with the largest automotive company in China, but it has yet to be officially announced.Nio is also continuing to move outside of China as it expands the growth it began in Europe in 2021. EVgo and XL Fleet also have plans to grow, but the results are coming much slower than with Nio. XL Fleet, for example, saw its third-quarter revenue nearly cut in half compared to the third quarter of 2020. XL Fleet converts internal combustion-powered vehicles to plug-in hybrid electric power. It also plans to have a fully electrical conversion solution soon. But as auto manufacturers have struggled to keep up with demand amid supply chain constraints this year, the company hasn't been able to drive the growth it had hoped for.However, XL Fleet recently announced it has grown its relationship with utility-scale wind and solar power facilities operators for charging infrastructure to support the fleet vehicles it has already provided. It is also in a pilot program with the Department of Defense that it hopes could grow into a large opportunity.So while Nio and EVgo are growing as EV demand and adoption grows, XL Fleet is struggling at this point. That partially explains the vast disparity in the valuations assigned by investors. But for today, they are all being lumped in the same boat as investors are pushing EV sector names higher moving into the final trading day of the year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":354,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9009656958,"gmtCreate":1640659246922,"gmtModify":1676533532439,"author":{"id":"4098678914535810","authorId":"4098678914535810","name":"Autnet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bda7244c323527b36de06db53911ab08","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4098678914535810","authorIdStr":"4098678914535810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More good news for the new year pleaseā¦.

The event, which Apple has titled "Wonderlust," will focus on updating some of its existing product lineup, most importantly the iPhone.</p><p>The Apple event, beginning at 1 p.m. EDT, is also expected to launch new versions of its Apple Watch, but most of the attention will likely be going toward the iPhone. The presentation will be streamed on Apple's website and on YouTube.</p><p>There likely will be four new iPhones, two base models and two higher-priced Pro versions, analysts familiar with the company's supply chain expect. The latest and most advanced features of the new iPhones -- expected to be called the iPhone 15 -- will reside mostly with the Pro segment, as has been the case for several years now.</p><p>Apple isn't expected to unveil any new types of hardware categories at the event. Apple in June introduced the Apple Vision Pro, a virtual-reality headset that allows users to view digital content in their physical spaces. That product isn't shipping to customers until next year.</p><p>Although Apple has been quickly trying to diversify its business over the past few years, the iPhone still accounts for around half of its overall sales. Apple is looking to turn around its slipping iPhone business. In the most recently reported quarter ended July 1, iPhone revenue declined 2.4% to $39.7 billion, missing analysts' estimates.</p><p>Apple is also facing more pressure in China, its third-largest market. The Chinese authorities in recent weeks have asked government employees to not use iPhones for work, The Wall Street Journal reported last week. Huawei Technologies also introduced a new phone that will give Apple more competition in the high end of the Chinese smartphone market, where Apple currently dominates. In the coming year, analysts expect the combo of the two events will eat into Apple's China business.</p><p>Here are five things to watch for as Apple unveils its next iPhone, according to analysts.</p><h2 id=\"id_3137487479\">1. USB-C</h2><p>Both the Pro and base models of the iPhone 15 are expected to transition to a new connector port, moving away from its proprietary Lightning connector that has been in use since 2012 with the iPhone 5. Apple will at last be embracing USB-C, a common connector standard found in many consumer electronics, including rival Android phones.</p><p>With the move to USB-C, Apple is complying with European Union legislation that the company previously opposed. "Obviously, we'll have to comply," Greg Joswiak, Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said at The Wall Street Journal's Tech Live conference last year.</p><h2 id=\"id_452050455\">2. Price</h2><p>The smartphone market has slowed down in recent years, and Apple has responded by trying to entice buyers to buy its more premium segment Pro iPhones. Up until recently, the strategy has worked well, with booming sales and profit.</p><p>But Apple's iPhone business is slowing again, so now the company is expected to see how far it can push this strategy. Analysts are expecting the Pro lineup of the iPhone 15 could increase prices by $100 or potentially even $200. Last year's iPhone 14 Pro started at $999, and the larger Pro Max began at $1,099.</p><h2 id=\"id_2324812886\">3. Satellite</h2><p>A popular feature to come out of last year's iPhone 14 was the added functionality of satellite communication. The feature has been limited for now, with satellite connectivity only being used for sending messages to emergency services when the user is outside of cellular wireless coverage.</p><p>Many in the industry are waiting to see if Apple expands those satellite capabilities. Apple's main China competitor, Huawei, launched a phone last week that advertised the ability for users to make calls, not just messages, in areas without traditional mobile coverage.</p><h2 id=\"id_2185930787\">4. Chipset</h2><p>The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be powered with a new custom chipset designed in-house by Apple engineers and manufactured on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's latest 3-nanometer chip fabrication process. As typical with an updated Apple chip, it will enable speedier performance and greater energy efficiency with the iPhone 15 Pros.</p><p>The two iPhone 15 base models, on the other hand, are expected to come with last year's chip, the A16 Bionic processor. Apple began providing its Pro phones exclusively with its most advanced chips last year with the iPhone 14 generation.</p><h2 id=\"id_980160613\">5.

And the stocks of EV-charging network companyĀ <b>EVgo</b>(NASDAQ:EVGO)and vehicle electrification companyĀ <b>XL Fleet</b>(NYSE:XL)are also on the rise. The stocks had moved as follows as today:</p><ul><li>Nio shares up 14.76%</li><li>EVgo shares up 9.08%</li><li>XL Fleet shares up 7.9%</li></ul><p>So what</p><p>The thing is, these stocks have very little in common, other than the glaring fact that they all are in theĀ electric vehicleĀ sector. And that tells the story of today's big moves. Though these businesses have not exactly been moving in the same direction, the stock prices have. They are all down significantly in 2021. XL Fleet shares have dropped 59% year to date, while EVgo and Nio stocks are down 37% and 35%, respectively. But the businesses aren't quite as synchronized. Nio's sales are growing quickly, and it announced some exciting plans for next year, including the introduction of its latest EV that it hopes will challenge theĀ <b>Tesla</b>Ā Model 3.</p><p>Nio told investors it expects to begin deliveries of the new ET5 in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>Now what</p><p>Nio is clearly the largest of these stocks, and likely the closest to profitability. With today's move, Nio has aĀ market capitalizationĀ of about $52 billion. Compare that to EVgo's valuation of $2.7 billion and XL Fleet at just over $500 million. There's aĀ good reason for that, too.</p><p>In addition to Nio's new ET5 coming late next year, it will begin selling its new, larger luxury sedan in March 2022. And beyond the ET5 and larger ET7, Nio has said it plans a third new offering next year. That may come fromĀ a collaboration with the largest automotive company in China, but it has yet to be officially announced.</p><p>Nio is also continuing to move outside of China as it expands the growth it began in Europe in 2021. EVgo and XL Fleet also have plans to grow, but the results are coming much slower than with Nio. XL Fleet, for example, saw its third-quarter revenue nearly cut in half compared to the third quarter of 2020. XL Fleet converts internal combustion-powered vehicles to plug-in hybrid electric power. It also plans to have a fully electrical conversion solution soon. But as auto manufacturers have struggled to keep up with demand amid supply chain constraints this year, the company hasn't been able to drive the growth it had hoped for.</p><p>However, XL Fleet recently announced it has grown its relationship with utility-scale wind and solar power facilities operators for charging infrastructure to support the fleet vehicles it has already provided. It is also in a pilot program with the Department of Defense that it hopes could grow into a large opportunity.</p><p>So while Nio and EVgo are growing as EV demand and adoption grows, XL Fleet is struggling at this point. That partially explains the vast disparity in the valuations assigned by investors. But for today, they are all being lumped in the same boat as investors are pushing EV sector names higher moving into the final trading day of the year.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why Nio, EVgo, and XL Fleet Stocks Jumped Today</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\">\nWhy Nio, EVgo, and XL Fleet Stocks Jumped Today\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-31 10:07 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/30/why-nio-evgo-and-xl-fleet-stocks-jumped-today/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>What happenedOne day after the American depositary shares of Chinese EV makerĀ Nio(NYSE:NIO)hit their lowest level in over a year, the shares are jumping today.

Nio's sales are growing quickly, and it announced some exciting plans for next year, including the introduction of its latest EV that it hopes will challenge theĀ TeslaĀ Model 3.Nio told investors it expects to begin deliveries of the new ET5 in the fourth quarter of 2022.Now whatNio is clearly the largest of these stocks, and likely the closest to profitability. With today's move, Nio has aĀ market capitalizationĀ of about $52 billion. Compare that to EVgo's valuation of $2.7 billion and XL Fleet at just over $500 million. There's aĀ good reason for that, too.In addition to Nio's new ET5 coming late next year, it will begin selling its new, larger luxury sedan in March 2022. And beyond the ET5 and larger ET7, Nio has said it plans a third new offering next year. That may come fromĀ a collaboration with the largest automotive company in China, but it has yet to be officially announced.Nio is also continuing to move outside of China as it expands the growth it began in Europe in 2021. EVgo and XL Fleet also have plans to grow, but the results are coming much slower than with Nio. XL Fleet, for example, saw its third-quarter revenue nearly cut in half compared to the third quarter of 2020. XL Fleet converts internal combustion-powered vehicles to plug-in hybrid electric power. It also plans to have a fully electrical conversion solution soon. But as auto manufacturers have struggled to keep up with demand amid supply chain constraints this year, the company hasn't been able to drive the growth it had hoped for.However, XL Fleet recently announced it has grown its relationship with utility-scale wind and solar power facilities operators for charging infrastructure to support the fleet vehicles it has already provided. It is also in a pilot program with the Department of Defense that it hopes could grow into a large opportunity.So while Nio and EVgo are growing as EV demand and adoption grows, XL Fleet is struggling at this point. That partially explains the vast disparity in the valuations assigned by investors. But for today, they are all being lumped in the same boat as investors are pushing EV sector names higher moving into the final trading day of the year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":354,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9932927088,"gmtCreate":1662865452445,"gmtModify":1676537153851,"author":{"id":"4098678914535810","authorId":"4098678914535810","name":"Autnet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bda7244c323527b36de06db53911ab08","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4098678914535810","authorIdStr":"4098678914535810"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Quite like the dynamic island... is a nice feature to have... cheers š","listText":"Quite like the dynamic island... is a nice feature to have... cheers š","text":"Quite like the dynamic island... is a nice feature to have... cheers š","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9932927088","repostId":"2266965998","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2266965998","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the worldās 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":1662858023,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2266965998?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-11 09:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is the iPhone 14 Worth It?

"If you're not able to get security or software updates, it's definitely time to get a new phone," Pinola said.</p><h2>My reasons</h2><p>Tech companies have trained us to line up for new products on their schedule.

But blindly following Apple's marching orders is not how you will become the most profitable version of yourself.</p><h2>Is my verdict best for you?</h2><p>On the other hand, the fact that Apple kept the starting price the same on the iPhone 14 could make an upgrade easier to swallow, said Philip Michaels, U.S. managing editor at the product review site Tom's Guide.</p><p>"People who bought the iPhone 13 last year are probably still very happy with their phones and will have little reason to upgrade," Michaels told MarketWatch. "And given Apple's track record of lengthy software support -- iOS 16 works fine on phones released five years ago -- it's easy to hold onto your current iPhone for a long time."</p><p>"That said, if you've got an iPhone 11 or earlier, you will definitely notice an improvement in performance, even with the A15 Bionic chip on the iPhone 14 as opposed to the more advanced A16 Bionic powering the Pro models.

Because Apple held the pricing at iPhone 13 levels despite the rumors of price hikes, an upgrade is even easier to justify," Michaels said.</p><p>Another possible incentive to upgrade: deals available through Apple can cut up to $800 off the price tag of the iPhone 14, and major mobile phone carriers including AT&T <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">$(T)$</a>, T-Mobile <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TMUS\">$(TMUS)$</a> and Verizon <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$(VZ)$</a>, are offering discounts as well.</p><p>If you're trying to decide whether to upgrade, don't forget about the value of your existing phone, said Josh Lowitz co-founder of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, publisher of the upcoming CIRP-Apple report on Substack.</p><p>"Used iPhones have real value, as trade-ins or hand-me-downs to family or friends," Lowitz said. "Our data shows that about half of new iPhone buyers trade-in or sell their old phone, and more than a third of those who monetize their old phone, report that it was worth more than $300."</p><p>Retail promotions, including enhanced trade-in offers, can reduce the cost of ownership further, he noted.</p><p>Another key point: mobile carriers are offering longer payment plans. In the past, phone purchases were generally broken up into 24 or even 18 or 20 payments.

Because Apple held the pricing at iPhone 13 levels despite the rumors of price hikes, an upgrade is even easier to justify,\" Michaels said.Another possible incentive to upgrade: deals available through Apple can cut up to $800 off the price tag of the iPhone 14, and major mobile phone carriers including AT&T $(T)$, T-Mobile $(TMUS)$ and Verizon $(VZ)$, are offering discounts as well.If you're trying to decide whether to upgrade, don't forget about the value of your existing phone, said Josh Lowitz co-founder of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, publisher of the upcoming CIRP-Apple report on Substack.\"Used iPhones have real value, as trade-ins or hand-me-downs to family or friends,\" Lowitz said. \"Our data shows that about half of new iPhone buyers trade-in or sell their old phone, and more than a third of those who monetize their old phone, report that it was worth more than $300.\"Retail promotions, including enhanced trade-in offers, can reduce the cost of ownership further, he noted.Another key point: mobile carriers are offering longer payment plans. In the past, phone purchases were generally broken up into 24 or even 18 or 20 payments. Now, 30 and 36 monthly payment plans are common, Lowitz said.\"That reduces the monthly outlay, though it postpones the relief of making that final payment, and the new phone buyer needs to be confident that their phone will serve them that long. Even with the strong residual value of an iPhone, a buyer with 36 payments may have negative equity in their phone into their third year of ownership,\" Lowitz said.Apple shares closed almost 1% up Wednesday after the iPhone 14 event, but they are down 12% year to date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 are down 13.5% and more than 16%, respectively, this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":504,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
