The first generation of MSFT&#39;s augmented reality or AR headset, HoloLens 1 was introduced to the market in 2015. Microsoft subsequently introduced the second generation of HoloLens (or HoloLens 2) in 2019. It is important to note that HoloLens 2 sells for a few thousand dollars apiece, and the product is clearly targeting enterprises which differentiates it from cheaper (typically a few hundred dollars) AR headsets sold to consumers. The HoloLens 2 headset already has applications in multiple industries, where companies can save on costs and time using this device, as per the chart below.</p><p><b>HoloLens Is Already Used By Companies In Different Industries</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c543b8d0f33e26319eb2003cef7d3b1b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"254\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Also, Microsoft announced earlier at its yearly <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IGN.AU\">Ignite</a> technology event in November 2021 that it is introducing &#34;Mesh for Microsoft Teams.&#34; At the event, MSFT highlighted that Mesh will allow people to participate virtually in meetings &#34;using personalized avatars and immersive spaces that can be accessed from any device, with no special equipment needed.&#34; In a nutshell, the integration of Mesh with Teams is really all about making mixed-reality meetings possible. First launched in 2017, business collaboration and group chat platform Microsoft Teams has been a big success for the company; it disclosed at its recent Q2 FY 2022 results briefing that &#34;90% of Fortune 500 companies used Teams Phone&#34; in the recent quarter. Demand for &#34;Mesh For Microsoft Teams&#34; will definitely grow with the rise of hybrid work, and it is noteworthy that Mesh is also compatible with HoloLens 2 as highlighted below.</p><p><b>Key Features Of Mesh</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/061c1985184eee7800e167d7f00f3699\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"204\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>I discuss about MSFT&#39;s most significant and recent investment in the metaverse in the subsequent section.</p><h2>Is Microsoft Investing In The Metaverse?</h2><p>Microsoft is investing in the metaverse, and the company&#39;s most recent move in that respect was its planned purchase of gaming company, Activision Blizzard announced in a press release dated January 18, 2022. MSFT stressed at its most recent quarterly investor call that this deal will help the company &#34;shape what comes next for gaming as platforms like the metaverse develop.&#34; The transaction is expected to be concluded by the end of FY 2023 (June 30, 2023), assuming that conditions precedent are fulfilled and the relevant regulatory approvals are secured.</p><p>As I noted in the preceding section of this article, MSFT has put in significant efforts to make headway in the enterprise metaverse with HoloLens 2 and Mesh For Meetings. The proposed Activision deal puts Microsoft in a good position to gain a strong foothold in the consumer metaverse as well.</p><p>A January 10, 2022 <i>Wired</i> article noted that &#34;the things that make the promise of a metaverse intriguing&#34; can already be found in &#34;online games&#34; like <i>World of Warcraft</i>, and highlighted that the metaverse represents &#34;a new way (for gaming companies) to brand their sprawl of digital products and services.&#34; Activision&#39;s flagship game, <i>World Of Warcraft</i>, is often seen to be an &#34;earlier version&#34; and &#34;preview&#34; of the future metaverse, and there are substantial synergies between Activision&#39;s games and Microsoft&#39;s ambitions to expand in the consumer metaverse.</p><p>In the next section, I touch on key metrics with respect to Microsoft&#39;s proposed acquisition in Activision which represents a key investment for the company in the consumer metaverse.</p><h2>MSFT Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>Microsoft outlined its expectations for the number of gamers worldwide to expand from around 3 billion now to 4.5 billion in the next nine years, as discussed at the company&#39;s M&amp;A investor call on January 18, 2022. MSFT emphasized at its M&amp;A briefing in mid-January that its &#34;vision of the metaverse is based on intersecting global communities rooted in strong franchises.&#34; In other words, Microsoft needs scale in gaming to build a consumer metaverse.</p><p>Activision boasted as many as 371 million monthly active users (versus a relatively more modest 25 million Microsoft Xbox Game Pass subscribers) as of the end of 2021, and it is estimated that Microsoft will become the &#34;third largest&#34; company in the gaming space behind only Sony (SONY) (OTCPK:SNEJF) and Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) (OTCPK:TCTZF) assuming that the deal is successfully completed.</p><p>In summary, the success of Microsoft&#39;s proposed investment in Activision could determine if MSFT is able become a force in the consumer metaverse in the future.</p><h2>What Is Microsoft&#39;s Long-Term Outlook?</h2><p>A stock is a good investment, if the company&#39;s long-term growth prospects are not fully reflected in its valuations. In that respect, MSFT is not the best investment candidate.</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s revenue and normalized earnings per share are forecasted to grow by five-CAGRs of +15.1% and +19.4%, respectively for the FY 2022-2026 period as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ&#39;s</i> consensus estimates. Wall Street analysts also see MSFT&#39;s future ROEs falling in the low-30s to low 40s percentage range for the next five years.</p><p>MSFT&#39;s 30.5 times consensus forward next twelve months&#39; normalized P/E appears to be largely consistent with the company&#39;s expected top line expansion, ROEs and earnings growth going forward. In other words, I don&#39;t see any indicators that MSFT is mispriced.</p><p>With regards to the metaverse, it is reasonably safe to assume that the sell-side has not incorporated much of the potential upside relating to the metaverse into the financial forecasts for MSFT or its peers. It is widely accepted by investors and companies that while the metaverse holds a lot of promise in the long term, there is no guarantee that the metaverse investment theme won&#39;t fizzle out just like other technology trends in the past.</p><p>As an illustration, Meta Platforms, arguably the company most bullish (considering its corporate name change) on the future of the metaverse, has also expressed its views that it is ready to pivot if things don&#39;t work as planned. FB mentioned at the 2022 <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a> (MS) Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in March that it &#34;can moderate them over time&#34; assuming it is &#34;less successful.&#34; Specifically, Meta Platforms is saying that if investments in any particular growth area (which could be referring to the metaverse and other investment opportunities) don&#39;t work out well, it is willingly to allocate capital elsewhere.</p><p>In conclusion, MSFT&#39;s outlook is good but largely priced in. At the same time, it will be too aggressive to expect significant revenue or earnings accretion from the metaverse theme.</p><h2>Is MSFT Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</h2><p>MSFT is a Hold. In my earlier March 17, 2022 update, I rated Microsoft as a Hold &#34;after I weighed the pros and cons of a potential investment in the stock and assessed its valuations using different approaches.&#34; My views have remained unchanged. Microsoft&#39;s investments in the metaverse represent call options, and there could be upside to the company&#39;s financial forecasts and valuations if the metaverse turns out to be a much bigger growth opportunity than what is expected. But as it stands now, Microsoft&#39;s valuations are fair and deserving of a Hold 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>Is Microsoft A Good Metaverse Stock?

It is widely accepted by investors and companies that while the metaverse holds a lot of promise in the long term, there is no guarantee that the metaverse investment theme won't fizzle out just like other technology trends in the past.As an illustration, Meta Platforms, arguably the company most bullish (considering its corporate name change) on the future of the metaverse, has also expressed its views that it is ready to pivot if things don't work as planned. FB mentioned at the 2022 Morgan Stanley (MS) Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in March that it \"can moderate them over time\" assuming it is \"less successful.\" Specifically, Meta Platforms is saying that if investments in any particular growth area (which could be referring to the metaverse and other investment opportunities) don't work out well, it is willingly to allocate capital elsewhere.In conclusion, MSFT's outlook is good but largely priced in. At the same time, it will be too aggressive to expect significant revenue or earnings accretion from the metaverse theme.Is MSFT Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?MSFT is a Hold. In my earlier March 17, 2022 update, I rated Microsoft as a Hold \"after I weighed the pros and cons of a potential investment in the stock and assessed its valuations using different approaches.\" My views have remained unchanged. Microsoft's investments in the metaverse represent call options, and there could be upside to the company's financial forecasts and valuations if the metaverse turns out to be a much bigger growth opportunity than what is expected. But as it stands now, Microsoft's valuations are fair and deserving of a Hold rating.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":441,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9012667014,"gmtCreate":1649327705684,"gmtModify":1676534492053,"author":{"id":"4103524980863780","authorId":"4103524980863780","name":"SHU.tan","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a0a364343af95e235acc60c6e0cf7d7c","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103524980863780","idStr":"4103524980863780"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope for nvidia","listText":"Hope for nvidia","text":"Hope for nvidia","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9012667014","repostId":"1106290580","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106290580","pubTimestamp":1649295924,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106290580?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-07 09:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia: Trillion-Dollar Hopes Attainable, but Not So Soon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106290580","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Shares of graphics hardware behemoth Nvidia (NVDA) really excited investors during its 2022 Investor","content":"<div>\n<p>Shares of graphics hardware behemoth Nvidia (NVDA) really excited investors during its 2022 Investor Day presentation, shedding light on a plan to become the first $1 trillion semi company.

If there’s a company that can pull it off, it’s Nvidia, with its brilliant leader Jensen Huang.Undoubtedly, the total addressable market (TAM) for Nvidia is enormous. The innovative graphics-processing unit (GPU) maker has a front-row seat to video gaming, automotive tech, AI, and data center. Undoubtedly, a nice slice of each of the following markets could propel the company’s market cap above the $1 trillion mark.Still, it’s Nvidia’s Omniverse initiative that could be the key to unlocking next-level growth over the next decade once we move closer to the concept of the metaverse.However, although Nvidia is on the cutting edge of next-generation technology, I am neutral on the stock. It’s not that I wasn’t excited about Nvidia’s investor day or the $1 trillion opportunities at hand. It’s the valuation of the stock going into a higher-rate environment.The growth sell-off has been unforgiving thus far, and it may not be over. With a 22.7 times sales multiple, NVDA stock faces tremendous downside risk if the broader growth sell-off continues.For that reason, I’m in no rush to chase Nvidia stock to trillion-dollar market cap territory. It will come in due time, but it will surely be a rocky road to the level, with the growth trade starting to show its wobbly legs.Nvidia’s Omniverse is the Answer to Meta’s MetaverseAdd the exciting Nvidia Omniverse effort into the equation, and the trillion-dollar aspirations are not at all far-fetched. Thanks to a timely name change,Meta Platforms (FB) has propelled the concept of the metaverse to the forefront. In recent months, though, the growth trade has faded, and the metaverse ambitions of Mark Zuckerberg have started to seem more far-fetched.With interest rates on the rise, profitability matters more than exciting stories. Still, there’s no denying the long-term potential in the metaverse. Arguably, Nvidia is one of the better-equipped companies to construct the metaverse, not Meta. Unlike Meta, Nvidia has been in the gaming business for a very long time, with its top-of-the-line hardware that helps gamers run their favorite titles.Not only does Nvidia’s background give its Omniverse offering a greater chance at success, but it also lacks the questionable reputation that Facebook has. Further, early teases of Nvidia’s Omniverse appear so much more exciting than the Meta presentation that revealed the firm’s new name and focus.Simply put, Nvidia is a graphics power king, and it’s this hardware edge that could allow it to transition consumers into virtual worlds, which will likely be gaming-centric.Nvidia Stock’s Valuation Remains ExcessiveNvidia’s Investor Day did not fail to impress this year. In many ways, its presentation is becoming more exciting than the likes of an Apple keynote (at least until the company has a chance to unveil the Apple Car or mixed-reality headset). The initial reaction was profoundly positive. Still, the stock has been shedding some of its recent gains.At the end of the day, valuation matters. As one of the priciest semi stocks out there, Nvidia stock could be one of the growth stocks to face amplified damage as the rate-driven valuation reset continues.Further, many industries Nvidia is pushing towards may not be tremendously profitable until many years down the road. Think nascent markets like AI and Omniverse. They’re undoubtedly exciting, but it’s unclear when next-generation AI and the metaverse will be ready for prime time.If sizeable profits from such awe-inspiring initiatives are closer to 2030 than 2022, the stock will undoubtedly take a hit, especially now that the Fed has shown signs of increased hawkishness.Wall Street’s TakeTurning to Wall Street, NVDA stock comes in as a Strong Buy. Out of 26 analyst ratings, there are 21 Buy recommendations and five Hold recommendations.The average Nvidia price target is $351.74, implying an upside of ~44%. Analyst price targets range from a low of $245 per share to a high of $410 per share.The Bottom LineNvidia is such a great company with a visionary founder-led leader. Nvidia’s TAM is huge and seems virtually unbounded, but the real risk to the stock at these valuations is what happens with the growth trade.The company itself will be firing on all cylinders, and I do not doubt that it will deliver. That alone may make the stock worth a hefty premium, but is ~23 times sales too hefty a premium? I’m not so sure.In any case, I’d take a raincheck on the name because the “growth at any price” trade seems all but done now that the Fed is so focused on inflation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":603,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9012664588,"gmtCreate":1649327605424,"gmtModify":1676534492030,"author":{"id":"4103524980863780","authorId":"4103524980863780","name":"SHU.tan","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a0a364343af95e235acc60c6e0cf7d7c","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103524980863780","idStr":"4103524980863780"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looks like a risk","listText":"Looks like a risk","text":"Looks like a risk","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9012664588","repostId":"1166056355","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166056355","pubTimestamp":1649316436,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166056355?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-07 15:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SEC Is Investigating How Amazon Disclosed Business Practices","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166056355","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Federal securities regulators are investigating how Amazon.com Inc. has disclosed some details of it","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Federal securities regulators are investigating how Amazon.com Inc. has disclosed some details of its business practices, including how it uses third-party-seller data for its private-label business, according to people familiar with the matter.</p><p>The Securities and Exchange Commission is probing how the technology giant—the largest U.S. e-commerce retailer and cloud-computing company—handled disclosures of its employees’ use of data from sellers on its e-commerce platform, the people said.

Facebook paid $100 million to settle the SEC allegations and didn’t admit or deny wrongdoing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":559,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9018014896,"gmtCreate":1648948124597,"gmtModify":1676534425621,"author":{"id":"4103524980863780","authorId":"4103524980863780","name":"SHU.tan","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a0a364343af95e235acc60c6e0cf7d7c","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103524980863780","idStr":"4103524980863780"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bullish on apple and Microsoft","listText":"Bullish on apple and Microsoft","text":"Bullish on apple and Microsoft","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9018014896","repostId":"1119316511","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119316511","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1648799989,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119316511?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-01 15:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tiger Chart｜ Q1 S&P 500 Top 10 Wrap: Berkshire Soared 18%;

And if you owned shares in Disney prior to the pandemic, you can relate to that sentiment. The DIS stock price has been like a ride on Space Mountain and as of this writing, it’s down about 10% in 2022, and you’re not even getting a dividend.</p><p>So why am I bullish? Simply put, my belief is that Disney is a “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” stock. The problem for bulls like myself is that it’s taken a lot longer to get the company firing on all cylinders. The question going forward is whether that’s a question of if or when. I’m betting on the idea that it’s only a matter of time.</p><p>Analysts give Disney stock a consensus 12-month price target of $191.25, a 37% increase from its current price and higher than the 28% average gain in the stock over the last 10 years.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MTCH\">Match </a></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bcbad0c744a286121d6c5a76ab562312\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.com</p><p>At three different occasions in 2021, bullish investors got their heart broken as Match reached all-time highs only to be rebuffed. This latest dip, which started in October has been the most severe.</p><p>However, in the last two weeks of March, MTCH stock is bouncing off its 52-week low. Investors are left to wonder if the rally will continue.</p><p>Analysts give MTCH stock a consensus price target that puts the stock 37% higher than its current price. However, the question investors should ask is why? It’s not enough to simply suggest that people will be ready to start dating.</p><p>My perception is that singles who wanted to mingle have been doing so for some time. I believe the bullish case for Match comes down to marketing. Because Matchencompasses many different “brands” including Tinder, Hinge, and OKCupid in addition to its namesake Match.com, the company has the potential to get a significant percentage of the monthly active users on dating apps. A number that <b>Goldman Sachs</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GS</u></b>) believes will increase between now and 2025.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ENPH\">Enphase Energy </a></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3486c91042567c21e4eb6b2e9a13f2e9\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com</p><p>In the spring of 2021, I was bullish on solar stocks in general. And the solar stock that stood out to me in the sector was Enphase Energy. However, after hitting an all-time high in mid-November, ENPH stock dropped 57% and was trading near its 52-week low. But since then, the stock has made back all those gains and then some. But with analysts giving the stock an 11% upside, I still believe it merits inclusion on this list of undervalued stocks.</p><p>The reason for my bullish outlook on Enphase is the company’s microinverter technology. This addresses a key limitation of solar power by converting direct current power from solar panels to alternating current power. In addition to allowing efficient use of solar energy in the evening and on cloudy days, it also reduces the possibility of a single point failure. The company also has international expansion plans.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GNRC\">Generac Holdings </a></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/22eef6e0f4ef63499b433ccb2af70206\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Lissandra Melo / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Prior to its February earnings report, GNRC stock had dropped nearly 50% from its 52-week high.</p><p>After Generac beat on both the top and bottom lines the stock has stabilized and even posted a modest gain.</p><p>At $312.33 per share at the time of this writing, GNRC stock is down significantly from its price of over $500 a share prior to the sell-off. However, with a consensus price target of $466.69, analysts believe Generac will recover all of its recent losses. And that’s another reason why it makes this list of undervalued stocks.</p><p>A key reason for that is revenue that continues to increase on a sequential and a year-over-year basis. Adding strength to that number, the company stated in its last earnings report that demand for its home standby generators continues to exceed supply. And the company has a backlog of projects of over $1 billion.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TMUS\">T-Mobile </a></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33e890f86a4d8d1411ac91a451ff0418\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Shutterstock</p><p>The 5G rollout has been one of the growth stories in 2021 that will continue to be a story in 2022. But you’ll forgive TMUS shareholders if they feel left out of the party. Over the last 12 months, T-Mobile stock dropped approximately 20%. However, at the moment it’s posting a slight gain.</p><p>That flies in the face of the company’s revenue which posted full-year revenue that was 17% higher year-over-year. But investors may be concerned that growth appears to be slowing. In the prior quarter, T-Mobile missed on its top-line number and showed a slow-down from the prior quarter. However, it did manage to turn that around in the last quarter, posting revenue of $20.79 billion that made it a clean sweep with every quarter in 2021 beating the prior year’s quarter.</p><p>And management is projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45% from 2021 to 2024. If that’s the case, and the company continues to generate strong free cash flow, it would suggest that there will be significant potential shareholder value.</p><p>That’s a view that is supported by the analyst community which gives TMUS stock a consensus 12-month price target of $160.14 which is 26% higher than its current price.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LUV\">Southwest Airlines </a></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/98af840065c1ccb850618ef38a9d32bf\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: madamF / Shutterstock.com</p><p>There’s no question that investing in airline stocks has not been for the faint of heart. The pandemic continues to challenge air travel in some ways that were expected and others that were unforeseen.</p><p>However, if the rapid spread of the omicron variant of Covid-19 truly signals the beginning of the end then it may be time to look at Southwest Airlines.</p><p>The company’s revenue has been recovering although it’s not yet to pre-pandemic levels. But the vast majority of the airlines revenue comes from domestic flights. And, with a focus on leisure travel it removes short-term concern over when business travel will resume.</p><p>Plus, even prior to the pandemic, Southwest had one of the strongest balance sheets among the major carriers. With $17 billion of liquidity, it’s reasonable to expect that the company may get back to profitability in 2022.</p><p>All of that gives support to the analysts who give the stock a 21% upside from its current price.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal </a></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ea6870df0834f18dbf86a1cf8e754be\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p><p>The last of my undervalued stocks is PayPal. Shareholders in the fintech giant have, perhaps uncomfortably, watched PYPL stock drop over 60% from the all-time high it reached in July 2021. However, I struggle to understand why. The move to a cashless society is well underway and PayPal has been on the front lines of that battle since its origin.</p><p>And then there’s this. Jamie Dimon, the CEO of <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>(NYSE:<b><u>JPM</u></b>) says that fintech represents a significant threat to traditional banks. Hearing a statement like that is reason alone to consider the stock of a company that is the unquestioned leader in peer-to-peer payments.</p><p>I suppose some investors may be turned off by a slowing growth rate. But as I see it, that’s more than offset by growing earnings and free cash flow. And PayPal is well positioned to take advantage of the e-commerce trend which will only continue to grow in 2022.</p><p>Analysts give PYPL stock a consensus 12- month price target of $202.24. If that’s an accurate forecast, the stock has an upside of over 70%.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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 Undervalued Stocks to Buy Before Wall Street Catches On</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 Undervalued Stocks to Buy Before Wall Street Catches On\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-01 14:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/03/7-undervalued-stocks-to-buy-before-wall-streeet-catches-on/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It’s been a brutal start to 2022 for investors who have been conditioned to believe that markets only move higher.

And if you owned shares in Disney prior to the pandemic, you can relate to that sentiment. The DIS stock price has been like a ride on Space Mountain and as of this writing, it’s down about 10% in 2022, and you’re not even getting a dividend.So why am I bullish? Simply put, my belief is that Disney is a “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” stock. The problem for bulls like myself is that it’s taken a lot longer to get the company firing on all cylinders. The question going forward is whether that’s a question of if or when. I’m betting on the idea that it’s only a matter of time.Analysts give Disney stock a consensus 12-month price target of $191.25, a 37% increase from its current price and higher than the 28% average gain in the stock over the last 10 years.Match Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.comAt three different occasions in 2021, bullish investors got their heart broken as Match reached all-time highs only to be rebuffed. This latest dip, which started in October has been the most severe.However, in the last two weeks of March, MTCH stock is bouncing off its 52-week low. Investors are left to wonder if the rally will continue.Analysts give MTCH stock a consensus price target that puts the stock 37% higher than its current price. However, the question investors should ask is why? It’s not enough to simply suggest that people will be ready to start dating.My perception is that singles who wanted to mingle have been doing so for some time. I believe the bullish case for Match comes down to marketing. Because Matchencompasses many different “brands” including Tinder, Hinge, and OKCupid in addition to its namesake Match.com, the company has the potential to get a significant percentage of the monthly active users on dating apps. A number that Goldman Sachs(NYSE:GS) believes will increase between now and 2025.Enphase Energy Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.comIn the spring of 2021, I was bullish on solar stocks in general. And the solar stock that stood out to me in the sector was Enphase Energy. However, after hitting an all-time high in mid-November, ENPH stock dropped 57% and was trading near its 52-week low. But since then, the stock has made back all those gains and then some. But with analysts giving the stock an 11% upside, I still believe it merits inclusion on this list of undervalued stocks.The reason for my bullish outlook on Enphase is the company’s microinverter technology. This addresses a key limitation of solar power by converting direct current power from solar panels to alternating current power. In addition to allowing efficient use of solar energy in the evening and on cloudy days, it also reduces the possibility of a single point failure. The company also has international expansion plans.Generac Holdings Source: Lissandra Melo / Shutterstock.comPrior to its February earnings report, GNRC stock had dropped nearly 50% from its 52-week high.After Generac beat on both the top and bottom lines the stock has stabilized and even posted a modest gain.At $312.33 per share at the time of this writing, GNRC stock is down significantly from its price of over $500 a share prior to the sell-off. However, with a consensus price target of $466.69, analysts believe Generac will recover all of its recent losses. And that’s another reason why it makes this list of undervalued stocks.A key reason for that is revenue that continues to increase on a sequential and a year-over-year basis. Adding strength to that number, the company stated in its last earnings report that demand for its home standby generators continues to exceed supply. And the company has a backlog of projects of over $1 billion.T-Mobile Source: ShutterstockThe 5G rollout has been one of the growth stories in 2021 that will continue to be a story in 2022. But you’ll forgive TMUS shareholders if they feel left out of the party. Over the last 12 months, T-Mobile stock dropped approximately 20%. However, at the moment it’s posting a slight gain.That flies in the face of the company’s revenue which posted full-year revenue that was 17% higher year-over-year. But investors may be concerned that growth appears to be slowing. In the prior quarter, T-Mobile missed on its top-line number and showed a slow-down from the prior quarter. However, it did manage to turn that around in the last quarter, posting revenue of $20.79 billion that made it a clean sweep with every quarter in 2021 beating the prior year’s quarter.And management is projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45% from 2021 to 2024. If that’s the case, and the company continues to generate strong free cash flow, it would suggest that there will be significant potential shareholder value.That’s a view that is supported by the analyst community which gives TMUS stock a consensus 12-month price target of $160.14 which is 26% higher than its current price.Southwest Airlines Source: madamF / Shutterstock.comThere’s no question that investing in airline stocks has not been for the faint of heart. The pandemic continues to challenge air travel in some ways that were expected and others that were unforeseen.However, if the rapid spread of the omicron variant of Covid-19 truly signals the beginning of the end then it may be time to look at Southwest Airlines.The company’s revenue has been recovering although it’s not yet to pre-pandemic levels. But the vast majority of the airlines revenue comes from domestic flights. And, with a focus on leisure travel it removes short-term concern over when business travel will resume.Plus, even prior to the pandemic, Southwest had one of the strongest balance sheets among the major carriers. With $17 billion of liquidity, it’s reasonable to expect that the company may get back to profitability in 2022.All of that gives support to the analysts who give the stock a 21% upside from its current price.PayPal Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.comThe last of my undervalued stocks is PayPal. Shareholders in the fintech giant have, perhaps uncomfortably, watched PYPL stock drop over 60% from the all-time high it reached in July 2021. However, I struggle to understand why. The move to a cashless society is well underway and PayPal has been on the front lines of that battle since its origin.And then there’s this. Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase(NYSE:JPM) says that fintech represents a significant threat to traditional banks. Hearing a statement like that is reason alone to consider the stock of a company that is the unquestioned leader in peer-to-peer payments.I suppose some investors may be turned off by a slowing growth rate. But as I see it, that’s more than offset by growing earnings and free cash flow. And PayPal is well positioned to take advantage of the e-commerce trend which will only continue to grow in 2022.Analysts give PYPL stock a consensus 12- month price target of $202.24. If that’s an accurate forecast, the stock has an upside of over 70%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":344,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9018014896,"gmtCreate":1648948124597,"gmtModify":1676534425621,"author":{"id":"4103524980863780","authorId":"4103524980863780","name":"SHU.tan","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a0a364343af95e235acc60c6e0cf7d7c","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103524980863780","authorIdStr":"4103524980863780"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bullish
