Had it not been for energy stocks, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) could have fared worse with the Nasdaq having also been weighed down by the semiconductor stocks it holds.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7900fa2d4d9bd46c85875791e5b0db5d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>The objective of this thesis is to assess whether, after such a drop, there are still ingredients that can drive QQQ to yet another bounce. At the same time, building on the trend-based analysis for the Invesco ETF together with daily price variations, I will also show that the ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (NASDAQ: TQQQ) is becoming less attractive for the day trader, but can still be used to profit from an uptrend in the Nasdaq.</p><p>For this purpose, I start by elaborating on the recent market drivers.</p><p><b>Factors Driving Down the Nasdaq</b></p><p>First, QQQtracksthe Nasdaq-100 Index, which encapsulates the 100 largest non-companies listed on the Nasdaq based on market cap. As such, it contains the most valuable publicly listed names in the world like Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA) as shown in the diagram below, with 97.56% of its assets dedicated to the U.S.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c46b0ae548f3b7d174e34a322524d749\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>QQQ Top Holdings (www.invesco.com)</p><p>These are multinationals that span the whole globe. As such, they are also impacted by economic conditions abroad, namely in Europe where a potential slowdown should be more acute than in the U.S. Moreover, the Federal Reserve raising rates also mean that the greenback becomes pricier vis a vis the local currencies of countries where American companies operate, in turn constituting headwinds for QQQ&#39;s holdings when depreciated euro revenues reach dollar-denominated income statements.</p><p>Thus, companies like Microsoft have been warning about potential Forex-related earnings risks since June. This coincided with the trough in the value of QQQ as shown in the introductory chart. More recently, cracks are also starting to appear in Apple&#39;s strong iPhone facade as sales dropped in China.</p><p>Besides currency risks, there are concerns about higher prices for goods and services caused by high inflation hampering demand throughout the U.S. economy in turn impacting the consumer discretionary sector as well as semiconductor companies like Nvidia (NVDA) as PC sales have dropped following the pandemic boom, with many Americans now worrying that the country is already in recession. In addition, geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China again surfaced sending the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) down 9.3% in just five days.</p><p>Furthermore, supply chain challenges have also reduced the number of deliveries for Tesla.</p><p><b>Market Digesting Tech Worries and the Bounce</b></p><p>All the factors I have enumerated above imply that QQQ does not make an investment case for the long term, but, that there could be a bounce as investors seem to have digested the fact that tech stocks should be more impacted than the broader market by higher interest rates.</p><p>In order to justify my statement, I plotted the daily differences between the values of the SPY (representing the broader market) and QQQ as shown in the blue chart below.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/535b6d3fd4854d05cbae142324fe9f45\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Chart built by the author using data from (finance.yahoo.com)</p><p>Making sense of the chart, the November 2021-June 2022 period saw the SPY-QQQ differential obtained by subtracting the daily values of the QQQ from SPY moving higher, from 60 to above 100, as the Nasdaq suffered from more downside than SPY (S&amp;P 500). This was due to investors realizing that the Federal Reserve would have to tighten interest rates, instead of keeping it on hold as a result of inflation not being transitory.</p><p>Now, rates going higher is a negative for the market as a whole, but tech stocks, in particular, depending on the state of their individual balance sheets, may find it harder to get access to cheap money to drive their higher growth rates and earnings.</p><p>Subsequently, after reaching a peak of 103-104 reached in June as marked by the green dotted line above, the differential has now settled down to the 95 level, showing that tech stocks are not being punished as severely relative to the broader market. This probably indicates that investors seem to have priced in the fact that the Fed will have to hike rates aggressively.</p><p>Furthermore, with analysts having revised the S&amp;P 500&#39;s estimated third-quarter earnings growth rate downwards to2.4%(or the lowest since Q3 2020 (-5.7%) and a lot of the negative news already baked in the performance of the Nasdaq, there could be an upside when the tech earnings season starts on Tuesday 25.</p><p>To this end, QQQ&#39;s RSI of 32.81(or under 50) indicates that it has been oversold and there could be an upside to around $300 which is the 50-day SMA. Other events that could induce a positive momentum are a potential reprieve obtained by Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and others for the export of certain types of chips to China while being aligned with American security interests.</p><p>For investors, $300 represents a 14% upside from QQQ&#39;s current value of $262, but, one could obtain a yield of three times more when using TQQQ which is a trading tool that thrives on volatility.</p><p><b>Trading with TQQQ</b></p><p>This leveraged ProShares ETF aims to return three times (3x) the return of its underlying benchmark which targets the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index. Thus, it provides thrice the performance of QQQ.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/267691c2b7490ed288d08dbc673f57f1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"284\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>TQQQ Important Considerations (www.proshares.com)</p><p>In the same way as QQQ, TQQQ allows you to profit from the market during a bounce, that is after a flurry of good news has shifted investors&#39; sentiment to &#34;Risk on&#34;. This is possible following the ProShares ETF&#39;s39%decline in just one month and even a small bounce could return profits of 10%.</p><p>Now, since this a highly leveraged ETF, ProShares advises not to hold it for a period of greater than one day as due to the compounding of daily returns, the returns can be significantly different than what is intended. For example, when QQQ rises by 3% in one week, it may happen that TQQQ does not return 9% as should normally be the case as there are more chances of the Nasdaq fluctuating (going up and down) widely during five days than one.</p><p>However, in order to make a profitable day trade, the difference between TQQQ&#39;s high and low has to be significant (more than 10%), but according to my observation, this has been the case in the recent month despite the highly volatile market. I confirmed this observation by adding an orange chart to the initial one, which shows the daily variations (or fluctuations) obtained by plotting the daily differences between the high and low values of TQQQ.</p><p>As shown by the number of peaks decreasing from the left of the green line to the right, the chart shows that the daily variations have been diminishing since June. This, in turn, indicates a lower degree of volatility on a day-to-day basis, showing that TQQQ is getting less attractive for day trading compared to before.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4efbdda0db299ccfa306819febb54dd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Charts built by the author using data from (finance.yahoo.com)</p><p>Explanatory reasons could include traders moving into cash or migrating from tech to energy-related leveraged ETFs in order to make money. Another reason could pertain to investors having finally accepted the fact that there will not be a reprieve in the Fed&#39;s hawkish tone. This again confirms that the market seems to have digested that hiking of rates by the Fed is not a fatality.</p><p>In these circumstances, if one is prepared to take on compounding risks and trade for a period of more than one day, like one week, for example, TQQQ makes sense. To this end, its RSI of31.66(or under 50) indicates that it has been oversold and after the positive financial results of TSMC, there could be some temporary upside.</p><p>However, just as when trading any leveraged ETF, it is important to constantly monitor the market and exit with a stop loss at the first signs of potential downsides.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Therefore, the ingredients for the Nasdaq and QQQ to make a temporary jump, which I estimate at 14% are present. Along the same lines, TQQQ could also deliver an upside of about three times but the real returns are obtained after subtracting compounding-related losses.</p><p>Another important point is that far from advising anyone to buy the dip, I have supported this thesis by analyzing the differential between tech and the broader market which point to investors having possibly digested the aggressive hikes to be implemented by the U.S. Fed.</p><p>Still, the U.S. Central bank which is data-driven may turn up to be super hawkish and I may not have priced in all factors which may adversely impact markets like credit risks emerging in the high-yield fixed-income space due to tightening of liquidity in the monetary system as well as some uncertainty which could appear in bond markets following the bond sell-off in the U.K. some two weeks back.</p><p>Finally, since we are more amid a trader market, it is important to keep on to your cash as the cost of living escalates further, and trade with caution, like for example waiting for CPI data released on October 13 before trading.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Had it not been for energy stocks, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) could have fared worse with the Nasdaq having also been weighed down by the semiconductor stocks it holds.Data by YChartsThe objective of this thesis is to assess whether, after such a drop, there are still ingredients that can drive QQQ to yet another bounce. At the same time, building on the trend-based analysis for the Invesco ETF together with daily price variations, I will also show that the ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (NASDAQ: TQQQ) is becoming less attractive for the day trader, but can still be used to profit from an uptrend in the Nasdaq.For this purpose, I start by elaborating on the recent market drivers.Factors Driving Down the NasdaqFirst, QQQtracksthe Nasdaq-100 Index, which encapsulates the 100 largest non-companies listed on the Nasdaq based on market cap. As such, it contains the most valuable publicly listed names in the world like Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA) as shown in the diagram below, with 97.56% of its assets dedicated to the U.S.QQQ Top Holdings (www.invesco.com)These are multinationals that span the whole globe. As such, they are also impacted by economic conditions abroad, namely in Europe where a potential slowdown should be more acute than in the U.S. Moreover, the Federal Reserve raising rates also mean that the greenback becomes pricier vis a vis the local currencies of countries where American companies operate, in turn constituting headwinds for QQQ's holdings when depreciated euro revenues reach dollar-denominated income statements.Thus, companies like Microsoft have been warning about potential Forex-related earnings risks since June. This coincided with the trough in the value of QQQ as shown in the introductory chart. More recently, cracks are also starting to appear in Apple's strong iPhone facade as sales dropped in China.Besides currency risks, there are concerns about higher prices for goods and services caused by high inflation hampering demand throughout the U.S. economy in turn impacting the consumer discretionary sector as well as semiconductor companies like Nvidia (NVDA) as PC sales have dropped following the pandemic boom, with many Americans now worrying that the country is already in recession. In addition, geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China again surfaced sending the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) down 9.3% in just five days.Furthermore, supply chain challenges have also reduced the number of deliveries for Tesla.Market Digesting Tech Worries and the BounceAll the factors I have enumerated above imply that QQQ does not make an investment case for the long term, but, that there could be a bounce as investors seem to have digested the fact that tech stocks should be more impacted than the broader market by higher interest rates.In order to justify my statement, I plotted the daily differences between the values of the SPY (representing the broader market) and QQQ as shown in the blue chart below.Chart built by the author using data from (finance.yahoo.com)Making sense of the chart, the November 2021-June 2022 period saw the SPY-QQQ differential obtained by subtracting the daily values of the QQQ from SPY moving higher, from 60 to above 100, as the Nasdaq suffered from more downside than SPY (S&P 500). This was due to investors realizing that the Federal Reserve would have to tighten interest rates, instead of keeping it on hold as a result of inflation not being transitory.Now, rates going higher is a negative for the market as a whole, but tech stocks, in particular, depending on the state of their individual balance sheets, may find it harder to get access to cheap money to drive their higher growth rates and earnings.Subsequently, after reaching a peak of 103-104 reached in June as marked by the green dotted line above, the differential has now settled down to the 95 level, showing that tech stocks are not being punished as severely relative to the broader market. This probably indicates that investors seem to have priced in the fact that the Fed will have to hike rates aggressively.Furthermore, with analysts having revised the S&P 500's estimated third-quarter earnings growth rate downwards to2.4%(or the lowest since Q3 2020 (-5.7%) and a lot of the negative news already baked in the performance of the Nasdaq, there could be an upside when the tech earnings season starts on Tuesday 25.To this end, QQQ's RSI of 32.81(or under 50) indicates that it has been oversold and there could be an upside to around $300 which is the 50-day SMA. Other events that could induce a positive momentum are a potential reprieve obtained by Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) and others for the export of certain types of chips to China while being aligned with American security interests.For investors, $300 represents a 14% upside from QQQ's current value of $262, but, one could obtain a yield of three times more when using TQQQ which is a trading tool that thrives on volatility.Trading with TQQQThis leveraged ProShares ETF aims to return three times (3x) the return of its underlying benchmark which targets the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index. Thus, it provides thrice the performance of QQQ.TQQQ Important Considerations (www.proshares.com)In the same way as QQQ, TQQQ allows you to profit from the market during a bounce, that is after a flurry of good news has shifted investors' sentiment to \"Risk on\". This is possible following the ProShares ETF's39%decline in just one month and even a small bounce could return profits of 10%.Now, since this a highly leveraged ETF, ProShares advises not to hold it for a period of greater than one day as due to the compounding of daily returns, the returns can be significantly different than what is intended. For example, when QQQ rises by 3% in one week, it may happen that TQQQ does not return 9% as should normally be the case as there are more chances of the Nasdaq fluctuating (going up and down) widely during five days than one.However, in order to make a profitable day trade, the difference between TQQQ's high and low has to be significant (more than 10%), but according to my observation, this has been the case in the recent month despite the highly volatile market. I confirmed this observation by adding an orange chart to the initial one, which shows the daily variations (or fluctuations) obtained by plotting the daily differences between the high and low values of TQQQ.As shown by the number of peaks decreasing from the left of the green line to the right, the chart shows that the daily variations have been diminishing since June. This, in turn, indicates a lower degree of volatility on a day-to-day basis, showing that TQQQ is getting less attractive for day trading compared to before.Charts built by the author using data from (finance.yahoo.com)Explanatory reasons could include traders moving into cash or migrating from tech to energy-related leveraged ETFs in order to make money. Another reason could pertain to investors having finally accepted the fact that there will not be a reprieve in the Fed's hawkish tone. This again confirms that the market seems to have digested that hiking of rates by the Fed is not a fatality.In these circumstances, if one is prepared to take on compounding risks and trade for a period of more than one day, like one week, for example, TQQQ makes sense. To this end, its RSI of31.66(or under 50) indicates that it has been oversold and after the positive financial results of TSMC, there could be some temporary upside.However, just as when trading any leveraged ETF, it is important to constantly monitor the market and exit with a stop loss at the first signs of potential downsides.ConclusionTherefore, the ingredients for the Nasdaq and QQQ to make a temporary jump, which I estimate at 14% are present. Along the same lines, TQQQ could also deliver an upside of about three times but the real returns are obtained after subtracting compounding-related losses.Another important point is that far from advising anyone to buy the dip, I have supported this thesis by analyzing the differential between tech and the broader market which point to investors having possibly digested the aggressive hikes to be implemented by the U.S. Fed.Still, the U.S. Central bank which is data-driven may turn up to be super hawkish and I may not have priced in all factors which may adversely impact markets like credit risks emerging in the high-yield fixed-income space due to tightening of liquidity in the monetary system as well as some uncertainty which could appear in bond markets following the bond sell-off in the U.K. some two weeks back.Finally, since we are more amid a trader market, it is important to keep on to your cash as the cost of living escalates further, and trade with caution, like for example waiting for CPI data released on October 13 before trading.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":567,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990660816,"gmtCreate":1660350202438,"gmtModify":1676533454909,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103845292937490","authorIdStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990660816","repostId":"1157910275","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1157910275","pubTimestamp":1660318322,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1157910275?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-12 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Is Past Its Sell-By Date!","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1157910275","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryElon Musk recently repeated his claims that Tesla could be making 20 million cars per year by 2030.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) on 16 November, 2021, titled Tesla&#39;s Ticking Time Bomb, I strongly advised selling Tesla.

It is down 27% YTD en route to that price.</p><p>This shall probably be my last article on Tesla, as I prefer to write on companies that will gain from world developments, and those do not benefit Tesla in the way they did in the past. That should have a significant negative effect on Tesla&#39;s future performance in both the car and stock markets, and I hope this article will be of value to those holding or considering buying into Tesla now. I would emphasize here that I am not a short seller or a trader. Tesla may well suit those that are, but it does not suit me. I am an investor and I write with only that in mind.</p><p>I will first touch on Tesla the car (and solar panel) maker and expand on the challenges it faces later.</p><p><b>Tesla The Car Maker</b></p><p>Tesla was founded by a visionary named Elon Musk. He saw an opportunity in electric cars, EVs, when other carmakers - and especially the U.S. and German manufacturers - were mostly focused on traditional internal combustion engines, ICEs.</p><p>He gained an almost cult-like following among retail investors and used the resultant share price explosion to raise over $13 billion in four stock offerings. Car-making is a capital-intensive industry, and such low capital costs gave it an advantage to get off the ground and into the big league.</p><p>Tesla also had <i>good profit margins</i>. Being a newcomer to car manufacturing, Tesla did not have legacy car maker problems such as restrictive unions and large company bureaucracies to add cost, plus EVs require many fewer components than ICEs. That makes Tesla&#39;s profit margins better - gross margins were 23% in fiscal 2020, compared with Ford&#39;s (F) 10%. <i>That gap is closing.</i> Tesla&#39;s superior margins over other carmakers are used by many believers to justify its high valuation, but - while they are good compared with many - they are not sufficiently better than the world&#39;s largest carmaker Toyota (TM,OTCPK:TOYOF) to do make the difference so extreme.</p><p><b>Toyota&#39;s P/E is 10.9. Tesla&#39;s P/E is 103.77 - nearly 10 times Toyota&#39;s!</b></p><p><b>Toyota&#39;s market cap $260bn. Tesla&#39;s $967bn - nearly 4 times Toyota&#39;s!</b></p><p>The latest gross margin (&#34;GM&#34;) figures show this:</p><p>Tesla&#39;s GM: 28%. Net: 10.5%. Ops: 14.6%</p><p>Toyota&#39;s GM: 18%. Net: 8.5%. Ops: 8%</p><p>That GM gap will close when Toyota (and other ICE makers) build more EVs because of the hugely lower amount of materials needed to build EV motors than ICEs, so either TM&#39;s P/E should shoot up or TSLA&#39;s crash down.</p><p>The latest results from Tesla&#39;s website were good, but the Gross Margin is declining.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d5fce89f9eada41780cfacd8d123c95\" tg-width=\"602\" tg-height=\"323\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bed17678a34727ef88451b33fd78453a\" tg-width=\"599\" tg-height=\"473\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e9b6e7adf9f631f7442c6692bd0a231\" tg-width=\"603\" tg-height=\"554\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Tesla.</p><p>If more financial information is required, it can be found here onTesla&#39;s website.</p><p><b>Cash and cash equivalents</b> are good, but billions will be needed to build the additional giant factories required, as might the many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.</p><p>I will now move on to those...</p><p>Problems - Internal <b>Self-Inflicted</b></p><p><b>There are many self-inflicted problems,</b> and many have yet to be resolved. The latest are claims by California&#39;s DMV that Tesla overstated its autopilot capabilities. ThisReutersarticle tells more about that. California is Tesla&#39;s largest U.S. market. The company sold 121,000 vehicles there in 2021, out of an estimated 352,000 sold nationwide. The DMV is seeking remedies that could include <b>suspending Tesla&#39;s license to sell vehicles in California</b> and requiring the company to make restitution to drivers.</p><p>Wikipedia has this list of <b>lawsuits</b> against Tesla.I know of no other reputable company that has stirred up so much controversy. The &#34;autopilot&#34; - the word used by Elon Musk to describe Tesla&#39;s driver assistance technology - fatality case could prove to be fatal or near-fatal for the whole company. Autoblog tells us more on that.</p><p>Currently, in a car accident in the U.S., the driver of one car sues the driver of the other car. It is only very seldom the car manufacturer is sued. For self-driving cars, however, things are likely to be different. There aren&#39;t other drivers to sue. There is just the car - and the company that made it. It won&#39;t take long for plaintiffs&#39; lawyers to start filing big lawsuits, even class actions, against the car and technology companies that made the cars and designed the self-driving technology. And, as we have seen in other such situations, <b>there could soon be billion-dollar judgments against Tesla.</b></p><p><b>Recall and Warranty costs.</b> In 2021, Tesla recalled 475,000 vehicles for safety issues in the U.S. alone. Barron&#39;s recently reported that, since January, 2022, Tesla has issued four recalls for almost 1.5 million vehicles worldwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That&#39;s roughly four times the 360,000 cars that Tesla delivered in the U.S. in 2021, and a half-million more, at least, than the 936,000 delivered worldwide. Global deliveries rose about 87%, compared with 2020. Those problems have to be fixed free of charge, plus many other problems require fixing under warranty.</p><p>They all require the vehicle to be returned to a dealer to be fixed. They <b>are a nuisance for the owners and costly for Tesla shareholders.</b></p><p><b>Musk&#39;s Antics.</b> I borrowed the word antic from Al Jazeera&#39;s report headed &#34;Musk&#39;s antics turn Tesla owners, new buyers against it.&#34;</p><p>Another antic was buying into <b>solar panels</b>. This is a U.S.-only market for Tesla. He got into solar by buying a troubled company founded by his cousins and on whose board he sat. That was paid for with Tesla shareholders&#39; money and led to a failed lawsuit by them, according to this Business Insider report. Its policy has been to offer <b>lowest price guarantees, which is suicidal</b> in such a commodity product market sector and - to reduce costs in the U.S. further - President Biden has waived tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A CNET report also claims that &#34;Tesla is skimping on customer service.&#34;This activity will be a constant drain on Tesla profits until closed!</p><p><b>Share sales.</b> <b>Musk&#39;s latest antic is to sell more Tesla shares</b> purportedly to prepare any payment he may have to pay for his Twitter bid. One has to question why did he sell now if he has confidence the stock price will be higher when the outcome of that case against him is known?! This SA News report headed &#34;Elon Musk backtracks on stock pledge&#34; tells more, including &#34;he now owns just under 15% of Tesla.&#34; One day he may be a total high-price dropout!</p><p><b>Musk&#39;s Aims.</b> As a visionary, he has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially. At Tesla&#39;s recent Cyber Round Up in Austin, Texas, Musk said the company would &#34;end up building at least 10 or 12 Gigafactories.&#34; Those <b>Gigafactories cost Gigabucks to build.</b> They also require years to build, and he needs them soon if he is to make <b>20 million cars per year by2030.</b> That means completion before the end of 2029 - just over 7 years away. None have been started, nor even have locations been announced!</p><p>In the unlikely event Tesla achieved that number, it would require another miracle to sell that many cars, because gaining 16.4% of the entire world car market - including ICEs - is probably impossible for any car maker.GlobeNewswiremade the 2030 estimate of total car market size in 2030 of 122.83 million units that I used to calculate that market share percentage. It makes worthwhile reading.</p><p>It also looks rather stupid ifS&amp;P Global&#39;s estimate of 26.8 million EV sales by 2030 proves correct. That would mean <b>Tesla has to achieve 75% EV market share!</b></p><p>Toyota is the world&#39;s largest carmaker and manufactures around 10 million cars per year. It has around 10% of the world market. It makes ICEs, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery EVs, and hydrogen cars. Tesla only makes battery EVs.</p><p>It therefore takes a bit of a stretch of the imagination to see Tesla selling 20 million cars per year by 2030... if it can make them!</p><p><b>Problems - External</b></p><p><b>Lithium supplies.</b> The Financial Times recently published this article headed &#34;Electric-car makers warned lithium supply crunch is set to last until 2030.&#34;</p><p><b>Political and economic.</b> The new <b>Inflation Reduction Act</b> could have a perverse and unintended negative result for Tesla. The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit will be renewed in January of 2023 and last until the end of 2032. A striking new requirement is that qualifying cars must be assembled in North America and that materials and critical minerals in the battery must come from the U.S. or a country with a free trade agreement with the U.S. That means some electric vehicles sold in the U.S. will be ineligible as soon as the bill takes effect. Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (&#34;CATL&#34;), who make some batteries for Tesla, has dropped plans to make them in the U.S.</p><p><b>Political backlashes.</b> Elon Musk has probably made some <b>enemies</b> at the political top<b>in California</b>due to his personal move, and Tesla&#39;s HQ, from there to Texas. They may encourage a harsh judgement in DMV&#39;s autopilot case against Tesla that I mentioned above.</p><p>Tesla may yet face other challenges due to his behavior <b>in Germany.</b> That country is full of bureaucracies, some of which wanted to prevent the car and battery factory near Berlin from being built in the first place. Also, local residents and environmentalists - including Green party politicians - did not want their environmentally and visually valuable forest torn down, as this report shows. Elon Musk apparently barged through those bureaucratic regulations and local and environmental objections and started building without proper approvals. The battery factory has still not been started. Their unanswered environmental problems remain. This CNBC article tells more.</p><p><b>The UK is in or near recession,</b> as are several EU continues.

That would give Tesla 75% of the entire world EV market!To achieve that requires several more huge factories to be built that are not yet past the initial planning stages nor even a decision made where they will be located!They will require vast sums of money as might many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.My share price target is around $100 by year-end. Some are more optimistic, with Citi giving Tesla a sell-rated forecast of $375 → $424. JP Morgan suggests $385. The price, as I write, is $864.Some have suggested a price of $1580, which should frighten any cautious investor away.Those wing doors will not get that Tesla off the ground, and new action against Elon Musk's autopilot claims might even stop them being driven manually by man - including Musk - in some places. An earlier action against Musk by the SEC resulted in him giving up his driving position as both Chairman and CEO.In my first article on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) on 16 November, 2021, titled Tesla's Ticking Time Bomb, I strongly advised selling Tesla. The price then was $1,054.73, so it is down 18%, somewhat more than the S&P500's 12% decline. On the first of that same month, the price was $1,209.TSLA hit a low of $626 on 24 May, 2022, suggesting many are having doubts, with the recent bounce perhaps being caused by believers in that sky-high $1580 forecast. To those I would recommend they check the past and see that the price had never gone above $100 until the beginning of last year, the price level I believe it will return to. It is down 27% YTD en route to that price.This shall probably be my last article on Tesla, as I prefer to write on companies that will gain from world developments, and those do not benefit Tesla in the way they did in the past. That should have a significant negative effect on Tesla's future performance in both the car and stock markets, and I hope this article will be of value to those holding or considering buying into Tesla now. I would emphasize here that I am not a short seller or a trader. Tesla may well suit those that are, but it does not suit me. I am an investor and I write with only that in mind.I will first touch on Tesla the car (and solar panel) maker and expand on the challenges it faces later.Tesla The Car MakerTesla was founded by a visionary named Elon Musk. He saw an opportunity in electric cars, EVs, when other carmakers - and especially the U.S. and German manufacturers - were mostly focused on traditional internal combustion engines, ICEs.He gained an almost cult-like following among retail investors and used the resultant share price explosion to raise over $13 billion in four stock offerings. Car-making is a capital-intensive industry, and such low capital costs gave it an advantage to get off the ground and into the big league.Tesla also had good profit margins. Being a newcomer to car manufacturing, Tesla did not have legacy car maker problems such as restrictive unions and large company bureaucracies to add cost, plus EVs require many fewer components than ICEs. That makes Tesla's profit margins better - gross margins were 23% in fiscal 2020, compared with Ford's (F) 10%. That gap is closing. Tesla's superior margins over other carmakers are used by many believers to justify its high valuation, but - while they are good compared with many - they are not sufficiently better than the world's largest carmaker Toyota (TM,OTCPK:TOYOF) to do make the difference so extreme.Toyota's P/E is 10.9. Tesla's P/E is 103.77 - nearly 10 times Toyota's!Toyota's market cap $260bn. Tesla's $967bn - nearly 4 times Toyota's!The latest gross margin (\"GM\") figures show this:Tesla's GM: 28%. Net: 10.5%. Ops: 14.6%Toyota's GM: 18%. Net: 8.5%. Ops: 8%That GM gap will close when Toyota (and other ICE makers) build more EVs because of the hugely lower amount of materials needed to build EV motors than ICEs, so either TM's P/E should shoot up or TSLA's crash down.The latest results from Tesla's website were good, but the Gross Margin is declining.Source: Tesla.If more financial information is required, it can be found here onTesla's website.Cash and cash equivalents are good, but billions will be needed to build the additional giant factories required, as might the many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.I will now move on to those...Problems - Internal Self-InflictedThere are many self-inflicted problems, and many have yet to be resolved. The latest are claims by California's DMV that Tesla overstated its autopilot capabilities. ThisReutersarticle tells more about that. California is Tesla's largest U.S. market. The company sold 121,000 vehicles there in 2021, out of an estimated 352,000 sold nationwide. The DMV is seeking remedies that could include suspending Tesla's license to sell vehicles in California and requiring the company to make restitution to drivers.Wikipedia has this list of lawsuits against Tesla.I know of no other reputable company that has stirred up so much controversy. The \"autopilot\" - the word used by Elon Musk to describe Tesla's driver assistance technology - fatality case could prove to be fatal or near-fatal for the whole company. Autoblog tells us more on that.Currently, in a car accident in the U.S., the driver of one car sues the driver of the other car. It is only very seldom the car manufacturer is sued. For self-driving cars, however, things are likely to be different. There aren't other drivers to sue. There is just the car - and the company that made it. It won't take long for plaintiffs' lawyers to start filing big lawsuits, even class actions, against the car and technology companies that made the cars and designed the self-driving technology. And, as we have seen in other such situations, there could soon be billion-dollar judgments against Tesla.Recall and Warranty costs. In 2021, Tesla recalled 475,000 vehicles for safety issues in the U.S. alone. Barron's recently reported that, since January, 2022, Tesla has issued four recalls for almost 1.5 million vehicles worldwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's roughly four times the 360,000 cars that Tesla delivered in the U.S. in 2021, and a half-million more, at least, than the 936,000 delivered worldwide. Global deliveries rose about 87%, compared with 2020. Those problems have to be fixed free of charge, plus many other problems require fixing under warranty.They all require the vehicle to be returned to a dealer to be fixed. They are a nuisance for the owners and costly for Tesla shareholders.Musk's Antics. I borrowed the word antic from Al Jazeera's report headed \"Musk's antics turn Tesla owners, new buyers against it.\"Another antic was buying into solar panels. This is a U.S.-only market for Tesla. He got into solar by buying a troubled company founded by his cousins and on whose board he sat. That was paid for with Tesla shareholders' money and led to a failed lawsuit by them, according to this Business Insider report. Its policy has been to offer lowest price guarantees, which is suicidal in such a commodity product market sector and - to reduce costs in the U.S. further - President Biden has waived tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A CNET report also claims that \"Tesla is skimping on customer service.\"This activity will be a constant drain on Tesla profits until closed!Share sales. Musk's latest antic is to sell more Tesla shares purportedly to prepare any payment he may have to pay for his Twitter bid. One has to question why did he sell now if he has confidence the stock price will be higher when the outcome of that case against him is known?! This SA News report headed \"Elon Musk backtracks on stock pledge\" tells more, including \"he now owns just under 15% of Tesla.\" One day he may be a total high-price dropout!Musk's Aims. As a visionary, he has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially. At Tesla's recent Cyber Round Up in Austin, Texas, Musk said the company would \"end up building at least 10 or 12 Gigafactories.\" Those Gigafactories cost Gigabucks to build. They also require years to build, and he needs them soon if he is to make 20 million cars per year by2030. That means completion before the end of 2029 - just over 7 years away. None have been started, nor even have locations been announced!In the unlikely event Tesla achieved that number, it would require another miracle to sell that many cars, because gaining 16.4% of the entire world car market - including ICEs - is probably impossible for any car maker.GlobeNewswiremade the 2030 estimate of total car market size in 2030 of 122.83 million units that I used to calculate that market share percentage. It makes worthwhile reading.It also looks rather stupid ifS&P Global's estimate of 26.8 million EV sales by 2030 proves correct. That would mean Tesla has to achieve 75% EV market share!Toyota is the world's largest carmaker and manufactures around 10 million cars per year. It has around 10% of the world market. It makes ICEs, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery EVs, and hydrogen cars. Tesla only makes battery EVs.It therefore takes a bit of a stretch of the imagination to see Tesla selling 20 million cars per year by 2030... if it can make them!Problems - ExternalLithium supplies. The Financial Times recently published this article headed \"Electric-car makers warned lithium supply crunch is set to last until 2030.\"Political and economic. The new Inflation Reduction Act could have a perverse and unintended negative result for Tesla. The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit will be renewed in January of 2023 and last until the end of 2032. A striking new requirement is that qualifying cars must be assembled in North America and that materials and critical minerals in the battery must come from the U.S. or a country with a free trade agreement with the U.S. That means some electric vehicles sold in the U.S. will be ineligible as soon as the bill takes effect. Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (\"CATL\"), who make some batteries for Tesla, has dropped plans to make them in the U.S.Political backlashes. Elon Musk has probably made some enemies at the political topin Californiadue to his personal move, and Tesla's HQ, from there to Texas. They may encourage a harsh judgement in DMV's autopilot case against Tesla that I mentioned above.Tesla may yet face other challenges due to his behavior in Germany. That country is full of bureaucracies, some of which wanted to prevent the car and battery factory near Berlin from being built in the first place. Also, local residents and environmentalists - including Green party politicians - did not want their environmentally and visually valuable forest torn down, as this report shows. Elon Musk apparently barged through those bureaucratic regulations and local and environmental objections and started building without proper approvals. The battery factory has still not been started. Their unanswered environmental problems remain. This CNBC article tells more.The UK is in or near recession, as are several EU continues. They include important German, UK, French, and Italian car makers, all of which have poured billions into making EVs.That brings me to another major problem for Tesla...Competition-Loss of a previously exclusive big Tesla buyer. EV subscription company Autonomy has placed an order for 23,000 EVs with 17 global automakers to expand and diversify its subscription fleet beyond just Tesla vehicles. Autonomy currently has 1,000 cars, all of which are Tesla models. The fleet order valued at $1.2B includes EVs from BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Canoo (GOEV), Fisker (FSR), Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Hyundai (OTCPK:HYMTF), Lucid Group (LCID), Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:DDAIF), Polestar (PSNY), Rivian (RIVN), Stellantis (STLA), Subaru (OTCPK:FUJHY), Tesla (TSLA), Toyota Motor, VinFast, Volvo Car (OTCPK:VLVOF), and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAF).-Others lead the autopilot race. Tesla's autopilot faces costly attacks and is anyway losing the race to others, as this chart showsinverse.comWaymo leads with Baidu not far behind...-Chinese tech giant, Baidu(BIDU) has securedthe first permits in China to offer commercial fully driverless robotaxi services to the public on open roads.Wei Dong, vice president and chief safety operation officer of Baidu's Intelligent Driving Group, said in a statement:\"We believe these permits are a key milestone on the path to the inflection point when the industry can finally roll out fully autonomous driving services at scale.\"Baidu will sell its technology to other car makers helping those leapfrog over Tesla.It will also make cars having unveiled the Apollo RT6 - photo above - an EV ready for production with aninitial starting price of $37,000. Jidu Auto, which is a joint venture between Baidu and Geely Automobile Holdings (OTCPK:GELYY) is looking at raising between $300M and $400M as it seeks to launch its first commercial vehicle in 2023.- Apple (AAPL) may have this fully autonomous EVon the road by 2025. Rumors suggest it will be made by Hyundai. If so, maybe their worldwide dealer network will sell and service it.Apple reportedly poacheda top executive from Italian luxury carmaker Lamborghini for its car project.- China's BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF,OTCPK:BYDDY) sold 641,350 EVs in the first six months of 2022, representing a 315% increase from the same period last year. Tesla, on the other hand, delivered a total of 564,743 vehicles in H1.- Century-old car makers are determined to be around for another century! Every major maker is spending billions on EVs. A JV between Stellantis (STLA) and Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) is building a $2.5 billion battery factory in Indiana. General Motors is spending $7bn to convert an existing factory to make EVs. That shows another advantage traditional car makers have overTesla.It costs less to convert an existing plant to make EVs than to build a new one from scratch, plus they have an established workforce and customer base.A report on SA tells us that GM's all-electric Hummer draws rave review from Barron's.Ford is spending $11 billion on plants in Tennessee and Kentucky, and plans to build 600,000 EVs by the end of next year.European companies are likewise spending huge sums at home and in the U.S. to build EVs and battery factories.Putting all those above points into one big picture and I conclude that...Tesla Is Beyond Its Sell-By DateI mentioned Elon Musk's sales above. He is not the only insider to have been selling; Robyn Denholm - Chairman of the Board - was a huge seller in May and June this year.

This reversed Thursday's sell-off driven by downbeat guidance from rivals JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley .The S&P 500 and the Dow both snapped five-day losing streaks, and all three indexes ended below last Friday's close.\"We're still below the downward sloping trend line,\" said  Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist of CFRA Research in New York. \"One day does not a new trend make.\"Consumer prices in June showed the highest annual growth rate since 1981, raising chances that the Fed could raise its key fed funds target rate by 100 basis points, steeper than the 75 basis point hike previously expected.\"(Investors) would be unnerved by a 100 basis point rate hike, as it would imply that the Fed does not know what it is doing and is being controlled by the data,\" Stovall added.Those fears were calmed by remarks from Fed officials on Thursday and Friday, which indicated an interest rate increase of 75 basis points is likely in the cards.Economic data released on Friday surprised to the upside, with stronger-than-expected retail sales, an uptick in consumer sentiment, lower inflation expectations and cooling import prices.\"Economic indicators are not consistent right now,\" said Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio strategist Ingalls & Snyder in New York. \"They are positive and negative, which shows we're in a period of transition.The Dow Jones Industrial Average    rose 658.09 points, or 2.15%, to 31,288.26, the S&P 500    gained 72.78 points, or 1.92%, at 3,863.16 and the Nasdaq Composite    added 201.24 points, or 1.79%, at 11,452.42.All 11 major sectors of the S&P 500 ended the session higher, with financial stocks easily nabbing the largest percentage gain of 3.5%.Second-quarter earnings season is well underway, with 35 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported.

Still, its shares gained 6.2%.The S&P Banking index jumped 5.8%, its biggest one-day percentage surge since January 2020.Unitedhealth Group Inc    advanced 5.4% after the healthcare company raised its annual profit forecast for the second straight quarter.BlackRock Inc  rose 2.0% even after the world's largest asset manager posted a steeper-than-expected profit drop.Market participants are looking to next week's full ledger of scheduled earnings releases, from Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Bank of America Corp, International Business Corp, Netflix Inc   , Tesla Inc   , Twitter Inc    and assorted heavy-hitting industrials.Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by a 4.53-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.36-to-1 ratio favored advancers.The S&P 500 posted one new 52-week high and 31 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 37 new highs and 126 new lows.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 10.26 billion shares, compared with the 12.31 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":479,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9079433051,"gmtCreate":1657235572873,"gmtModify":1676535973609,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103845292937490","authorIdStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9079433051","repostId":"1120813585","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1120813585","pubTimestamp":1657208514,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1120813585?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-07 23:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Can Take 1 Easy Step to Create Billions in Value","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1120813585","media":"Barrons","summary":"Tesla, for bulls, is more than just a car company: It also sells solar roofs and battery-storage products.

The group is the biggest loser on the S&P 500 Index as recession concerns weigh on shoppers’ spending decisions. Adding to that wall of worry, US consumer spendingfellin May for the first time this year, signaling a cooling economy that’s on weaker footing.“As consumers continue to pull in their horns, I think that these stocks can go lower,” said Matt Maley, chief market strategist for Miller Tabak + Co.The rout this year was laid bare in the quarterly earnings season when companies from Walmart Inc. to Target Corp. cut their annual profitforecasts. This week, RH became the latest retailer totemperinvestors’ expectations for the year, while Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. released a lackluster earnings report showing quarterly sales fell even more than anticipated.Part of the problem is that stores are awash in products that consumers don’t want. At the same time, companies are grappling with surging fuel and labor expenses, and the challenge to pass on those costs to consumers.Etsy Inc. is the biggest decliner in the consumer discretionary index so far in 2022, plunging 67% as the boost in online sales from the Covid-19 pandemic fades. Other top decliners include Bath & Body Works Inc., Caesars Entertainment Inc. and Carnival Corp.The only stocks in the 58-member index that notched gains for the first half of the year are Dollar Tree Inc., Dollar General Corp. and AutoZone Inc. They are up about 11%, 4% and 3% this year, respectively.The pair of deep-discount retailers reported stronger-than-expected quarterly results last month, with consumers beginning to trade down to less expensive products. Meanwhile, AutoZone has advanced as analysts from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. upgraded their recommendations on the shares, touting the largely non-discretionary nature of auto-part sales.Despite being the worst performing group on the S&P 500, consumer discretionary stocks still aren’t cheap, trading at around 20 times projected earnings, while the benchmark has an earnings multiple of 16.“The derating in consumer discretionary has been major, but I still don’t think it’s trading at a reasonable enough valuation to make it worth dipping your toe into that pool just yet,” Jonathan Mackay, Schroders investment strategist, said earlier this week.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":291,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9045378161,"gmtCreate":1656569081753,"gmtModify":1676535855809,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103845292937490","authorIdStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"[Like]&nbsp;","text":"[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9045378161","repostId":"1121505043","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":435,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042175171,"gmtCreate":1656459238093,"gmtModify":1676535831394,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103845292937490","authorIdStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh

He bought his first stock in the early 1940s at age 11 as the S&amp;P 500 was on its way to a 35% dip that bottomed in 1942. Since then, he&#39;s managed through 12 more bear markets not including this one.</p><p>Despite those downturns, Buffett has managed to create billions in value for himself and the shareholders of the company he runs, Berkshire Hathaway. If any investor is qualified to share wisdom on investing in bear markets, it&#39;s Buffett.</p><p>So it makes sense to lean on his expertise to get through this tough climate with your wealth intact, right? To get you started, here are four of Buffett&#39;s famous rules for investing in a bear market.</p><p>1. Buy quality merchandise on sale</p><blockquote><i>&#34;Whether we&#39;re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.&#34;</i></blockquote><p>Buffett invests in high-quality businesses -- companies with a proven ability to create shareholder value through all economic climates. In his view, bear markets provide opportunities to buy these quality stocks at lower prices.</p><p>As an example, Buffett&#39;s response earlier this year to the tech stock sell-off was to buy more of his favorite technology company, Apple. Although Apple already comprised more than 40% of Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio, Buffett bought another 3.78 million shares.</p><p>You can mimic his strategy by identifying stocks you love for their long-term prospects. If your budget allows, increase your investing activity and pad your share counts while prices remain low.</p><p>2. Hold forever</p><blockquote><i>&#34;Our favorite holding period is forever.&#34;</i></blockquote><p>When you buy stocks you&#39;d like to hold forever, bear markets become far less stressful. Since your plan is to hold for the long run, you don&#39;t have to do anything when the market goes sideways. No reshuffling your portfolio and no guessing when share prices will bottom out. Your only job is to wait.</p><p>3. Stay calm</p><blockquote><i>&#34;The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.&#34;</i></blockquote><p>It&#39;s normal and useful to second-guess your &#34;hold forever&#34; plan when circumstances change. Certainly, there will be times when you should drop a stock you thought was a keeper.</p><p>The distinction you must make is whether circumstances have changed permanently or temporarily. And that&#39;s easier to do when you can analyze what&#39;s happening calmly and rationally. If you let your emotions take over, they can convince you to scrap your plan, cut your losses, or take some other dramatic action that&#39;s sure to dampen your long-term returns.</p><p>4. Keep your distance</p><p>Buffett said this when asked what advice he had for investors in tough markets:<i>&#34;I would tell them: Don&#39;t watch the market too closely.&#34;</i></p><p>Let&#39;s say you&#39;re confident that your &#34;hold forever&#34; stocks can withstand a temporary bear market. And for that reason, you&#39;re not going to react to falling share prices. In that scenario, what&#39;s the benefit of tracking every bump along the way? There isn&#39;t one.</p><p>It&#39;s OK to keep some distance from financial headlines when the market is going crazy. Consider it a survival strategy that helps you stay calm and stick to your investing plan.</p><p>Buy or do nothing</p><p>When a bear market sets in, you&#39;ll see Buffett mostly buy or hold. If you&#39;re questioning whether those are the right moves for your portfolio, remember this: Buffett is worth about $95 billion, and he has invested through more bear markets than almost anyone.

He bought his first stock in the early 1940s at age 11 as the S&P 500 was on its way to a 35% dip that bottomed in 1942. Since then, he's managed through 12 more bear markets not including this one.Despite those downturns, Buffett has managed to create billions in value for himself and the shareholders of the company he runs, Berkshire Hathaway. If any investor is qualified to share wisdom on investing in bear markets, it's Buffett.So it makes sense to lean on his expertise to get through this tough climate with your wealth intact, right? To get you started, here are four of Buffett's famous rules for investing in a bear market.1. Buy quality merchandise on sale\"Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.\"Buffett invests in high-quality businesses -- companies with a proven ability to create shareholder value through all economic climates. In his view, bear markets provide opportunities to buy these quality stocks at lower prices.As an example, Buffett's response earlier this year to the tech stock sell-off was to buy more of his favorite technology company, Apple. Although Apple already comprised more than 40% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, Buffett bought another 3.78 million shares.You can mimic his strategy by identifying stocks you love for their long-term prospects. If your budget allows, increase your investing activity and pad your share counts while prices remain low.2. Hold forever\"Our favorite holding period is forever.\"When you buy stocks you'd like to hold forever, bear markets become far less stressful. Since your plan is to hold for the long run, you don't have to do anything when the market goes sideways. No reshuffling your portfolio and no guessing when share prices will bottom out. Your only job is to wait.3. Stay calm\"The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect.\"It's normal and useful to second-guess your \"hold forever\" plan when circumstances change. Certainly, there will be times when you should drop a stock you thought was a keeper.The distinction you must make is whether circumstances have changed permanently or temporarily. And that's easier to do when you can analyze what's happening calmly and rationally. If you let your emotions take over, they can convince you to scrap your plan, cut your losses, or take some other dramatic action that's sure to dampen your long-term returns.4. Keep your distanceBuffett said this when asked what advice he had for investors in tough markets:\"I would tell them: Don't watch the market too closely.\"Let's say you're confident that your \"hold forever\" stocks can withstand a temporary bear market. And for that reason, you're not going to react to falling share prices. In that scenario, what's the benefit of tracking every bump along the way? There isn't one.It's OK to keep some distance from financial headlines when the market is going crazy. Consider it a survival strategy that helps you stay calm and stick to your investing plan.Buy or do nothingWhen a bear market sets in, you'll see Buffett mostly buy or hold. If you're questioning whether those are the right moves for your portfolio, remember this: Buffett is worth about $95 billion, and he has invested through more bear markets than almost anyone. His tactics can help you emerge from this bear market stronger and wealthier than ever.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":113,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041700458,"gmtCreate":1656104303374,"gmtModify":1676535766806,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103845292937490","authorIdStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041700458","repostId":"1112627509","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112627509","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1656084487,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112627509?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-24 23:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Consumer Sentiment Falls to Record Low, Inflation Outlook Improves","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112627509","media":"Reuters","summary":"June 24 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer sentiment fell to a record low in June, but Americans saw a marginal improvement in the outlook for inflation, a survey showed on Friday, a rare silver lining for Fed","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>June 24 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer sentiment fell to a record low in June, but Americans saw a marginal improvement in the outlook for inflation, a survey showed on Friday, a rare silver lining for Federal Reserve policymakers as they assess how quickly they need to raise interest rates this year.</p><p>The University of Michigan said its final consumer sentiment index reading for the month fell to 50.0 from 55.2 in May on the persistence of high inflation and rising fears of an economic slowdown.

While the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>has entered bear territory, his company <b>Berkshire Hathaway </b>sells near levels where it traded 12 months ago.</p><p>Although Buffett may have become better known for holdings outside of tech, he holds a few positions in the software sector. As technology stocks recover, companies such as <b>Apple</b>, <b>Mastercard</b>, and <b>Snowflake</b> could boost Buffett&#39;s returns as conditions improve.</p><h2>The free-cash-flow king that relies increasingly on software<b> </b></h2><p><b>Will Healy</b> <b>(Apple): </b>One cannot discuss Buffett&#39;s tech plays without mentioning Apple. His Apple holdings account for 39% of a portfolio that holds more than 50 publicly traded stocks.</p><p>The majority of revenue comes from the iPhone, a combined hardware and software offering. Additionally, software may have kept Apple strong during the downturn given the success of Apple Services. It includes software offerings such as iCloud, advertising, digital content, and payments.</p><p>The Apple Services segment generated $20 billion in revenue in the fiscal second quarter of 2022 (which ended March 26). This is a 17% surge year over year, taking this segment&#39;s revenue to an all-time high.</p><p>Its success also helped the company as rising prices and supply chain challenges weighed on Apple. Q2 revenue came in at $97 billion, a 9% increase from year-ago levels. Net income grew 6% over that period to $25 billion as a rising cost of sales, higher operating expenses, and increased income taxes reduced growth in the bottom line.</p><p>But despite the single-digit growth, Apple&#39;s $201 billion in liquidity should help it ride out any storm and keep it a crown jewel in the Buffett portfolio. Moreover, the stock has risen by 4% over the last 12 months. While not a stellar performance, it bodes well for the company considering that many tech growth stocks have lost more than three-fourths of their value in recent months.</p><p>Also, its price-to earnings (P/E) ratio of 22 is at its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic. Such a valuation could attract more investment from Buffett and other prominent investors. Given its relative stability and massive liquidity position amid this sell-off, perhaps now is the time to buy.</p><h2>Mastercard gives investors the best of both worlds</h2><p><b>Justin Pope</b> <b>(Mastercard):</b> Mastercard is the world&#39;s second-largest payment processing network. It has just under 2.9 billion debit and credit cards in circulation worldwide.</p><p>Mastercard&#39;s network connects the merchants where you swipe your payment card to the financial institutions that handle the money. Think of the network as a highway that cars use to travel back and forth. You pay a toll when you use the highway; similarly, Mastercard charges a small percentage of each transaction its network processes.</p><p>The company&#39;s grown revenue by an average of 11% annually over the past decade, driven by a steady shift away from cash as a payment method. Additionally, Mastercard isn&#39;t impacted by inflation because its fee is a percentage of each transaction; in other words, Mastercard captures more revenue as the prices of goods and services increase.</p><p>Mastercard is a cash cow, turning 46% of its revenue into free cash flow. Management shares those cash profits with investors, having paid and raised its dividend for the past 11 years. Investors won&#39;t get a huge dividend yield at just 0.6%, but the payout grows quickly; its annual increase has averaged 18% over the past five years. The company also spends billions on share repurchases, shrinking the share count by 22% over the past decade.</p><p>The company&#39;s ability to grow cash and return it to investors simultaneously has powered market-beating returns, totaling more than 7,300% since Mastercard came public in 2006. Despite its success, there could still be more upside ahead. Earnings per share (EPS) have grown by an average of 16% over the past three years, only slightly dropping from its 10-year rate of 19%. Warren Buffett bought his first position in 2011, which remains a part of his portfolio today.</p><h2>Snowflake&#39;s business model makes it stand out from its cloud-computing peers</h2><p><b>Jake Lerch (Snowflake): </b>Snowflake doesn&#39;t fit the profile of a typical &#34;Buffett stock.&#34; In fact, Snowflake is the type of company Buffett may have derided several years ago. It&#39;s a recently founded technology company and its business model can be challenging to understand. Nevertheless, Buffett -- or more likely Berkshire Hathaway investment managers Todd Combs or Ted Weschler -- has accumulated over 6 million shares of Snowflake. </p><p>Snowflake is, at the most basic level, a cloud computing company. But what really differentiates the company is its business model. Snowflake doesn&#39;t focus on increasing its customers&#39; sales or streamlining their human resources workflow. Instead, it helps organizations gain a bird&#39;s eye view of all the data relevant to their operations.

While the S&P 500 has entered bear territory, his company Berkshire Hathaway sells near levels where it traded 12 months ago.Although Buffett may have become better known for holdings outside of tech, he holds a few positions in the software sector. As technology stocks recover, companies such as Apple, Mastercard, and Snowflake could boost Buffett's returns as conditions improve.The free-cash-flow king that relies increasingly on software Will Healy (Apple): One cannot discuss Buffett's tech plays without mentioning Apple. His Apple holdings account for 39% of a portfolio that holds more than 50 publicly traded stocks.The majority of revenue comes from the iPhone, a combined hardware and software offering. Additionally, software may have kept Apple strong during the downturn given the success of Apple Services. It includes software offerings such as iCloud, advertising, digital content, and payments.The Apple Services segment generated $20 billion in revenue in the fiscal second quarter of 2022 (which ended March 26). This is a 17% surge year over year, taking this segment's revenue to an all-time high.Its success also helped the company as rising prices and supply chain challenges weighed on Apple. Q2 revenue came in at $97 billion, a 9% increase from year-ago levels. Net income grew 6% over that period to $25 billion as a rising cost of sales, higher operating expenses, and increased income taxes reduced growth in the bottom line.But despite the single-digit growth, Apple's $201 billion in liquidity should help it ride out any storm and keep it a crown jewel in the Buffett portfolio. Moreover, the stock has risen by 4% over the last 12 months. While not a stellar performance, it bodes well for the company considering that many tech growth stocks have lost more than three-fourths of their value in recent months.Also, its price-to earnings (P/E) ratio of 22 is at its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic. Such a valuation could attract more investment from Buffett and other prominent investors. Given its relative stability and massive liquidity position amid this sell-off, perhaps now is the time to buy.Mastercard gives investors the best of both worldsJustin Pope (Mastercard): Mastercard is the world's second-largest payment processing network. It has just under 2.9 billion debit and credit cards in circulation worldwide.Mastercard's network connects the merchants where you swipe your payment card to the financial institutions that handle the money. Think of the network as a highway that cars use to travel back and forth. You pay a toll when you use the highway; similarly, Mastercard charges a small percentage of each transaction its network processes.The company's grown revenue by an average of 11% annually over the past decade, driven by a steady shift away from cash as a payment method. Additionally, Mastercard isn't impacted by inflation because its fee is a percentage of each transaction; in other words, Mastercard captures more revenue as the prices of goods and services increase.Mastercard is a cash cow, turning 46% of its revenue into free cash flow. Management shares those cash profits with investors, having paid and raised its dividend for the past 11 years. Investors won't get a huge dividend yield at just 0.6%, but the payout grows quickly; its annual increase has averaged 18% over the past five years. The company also spends billions on share repurchases, shrinking the share count by 22% over the past decade.The company's ability to grow cash and return it to investors simultaneously has powered market-beating returns, totaling more than 7,300% since Mastercard came public in 2006. Despite its success, there could still be more upside ahead. Earnings per share (EPS) have grown by an average of 16% over the past three years, only slightly dropping from its 10-year rate of 19%. Warren Buffett bought his first position in 2011, which remains a part of his portfolio today.Snowflake's business model makes it stand out from its cloud-computing peersJake Lerch (Snowflake): Snowflake doesn't fit the profile of a typical \"Buffett stock.\" In fact, Snowflake is the type of company Buffett may have derided several years ago. It's a recently founded technology company and its business model can be challenging to understand. Nevertheless, Buffett -- or more likely Berkshire Hathaway investment managers Todd Combs or Ted Weschler -- has accumulated over 6 million shares of Snowflake. Snowflake is, at the most basic level, a cloud computing company. But what really differentiates the company is its business model. Snowflake doesn't focus on increasing its customers' sales or streamlining their human resources workflow. Instead, it helps organizations gain a bird's eye view of all the data relevant to their operations. This perspective allows them to gain valuable insights into trends and improve their decision making.For example, Snowflake can help retailers more accurately predict and manage their inventory. In the pharmaceutical industry, Snowflake can help companies research and develop new treatments by quickly compiling and sharing data from outside sources.There's no doubt that Snowflake has secular tailwinds behind it. The company currently has 184 large customers (those generating more than $1 million in product revenue), and it plans to expand that number to 1,400 by 2029. Moreover, Snowflake hopes to grow its revenue almost tenfold over that same period. Over the last 12 months, Snowflake generated $1.4 billion of revenue -- its first time crossing the $1 billion mark. And by 2029, the company aims to exceed $10 billion in annual sales. But owning shares of Snowflake isn't without risk. First of all, Snowflake lacks profits. The company has never turned a profit, and its net income actually sank deeper into the red over the last two years, mainly due to lucrative stock compensation for its employees. What's more, the company relies on would-be competitors like Amazon and Microsoft for the cloud infrastructure to run its software. Nevertheless, Snowflake appears to have carved out a lucrative niche in the cloud-computing space. If you're willing to ride out short-term volatility, Snowflake looks like an outstanding Buffett stock -- albeit an unorthodox one.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":38,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9016341882,"gmtCreate":1649133991258,"gmtModify":1676534457581,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103845292937490","idStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for the insight","listText":"Thanks for the insight","text":"Thanks for the insight","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9016341882","repostId":"2224305808","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2224305808","pubTimestamp":1649116861,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2224305808?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-05 08:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Avoid This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2224305808","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These investments seem pretty vulnerable right now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>My three stocks to avoid column for last week got off to a brutal start. The three names I figured were going to move lower for the week -- <b>GameStop </b>( GME -0.95% ), <b>Chewy</b> ( CHWY 0.37% ), and <b>AMC Entertainment</b> ( AMC -5.44% ) -- soared on Monday. All three stocks would go on to decline over the final four trading days of the week, but only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of them fell enough to offset the initial Monday pop. GameStop, Chewy, and AMC Entertainment rose 15%, fell 11%, and climbed 9% last week, respectively, averaging out to a hearty 4.3% increase.</p><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> rose a mere 0.1% for the week, so I fell well short on my stocks to avoid. The S&amp;P 500 has still outperformed my bearish picks -- meaning that I beat the market, as these are stocks I suggest investors avoid -- in 18 of the past 24 weeks, but I&#39;ve been off the past couple of weeks. This week, I see <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBA\">Walgreens Boots Alliance</a> </b>( WBA -2.03% ), <b>Lamb Weston</b> ( LW 2.15% ), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GO\">Grocery Outlet Holding</a></b> ( GO 2.71% ) as stocks that you may want to consider steering clear from. Let&#39;s go over my near-term concerns.</p><h2>Walgreens Boots Alliance</h2><p>The drugstore giant inched lower after posting its latest quarterly results last week, hitting a fresh 52-week low by Friday. The market&#39;s may seem surprising at first glance. Walgreens Boots Alliance beat revenue expectations, and it also trounced bottom-line results by a double-digit percentage margin for the fourth quarter in a row.</p><p>The retreat finds Walgreens Boots Alliance popping up on the list of buy candidates for value investors. The stock is trading for less than nine times this year&#39;s projected profit and yielding a beefy 4.4%. However, at least four analysts lowered their price targets on the stock following the earnings call -- including an outright downgrade.</p><p>The concern here is that store traffic could take a hit now that folks aren&#39;t coming in for COVID-19 vaccines and testings. There are medium-term concerns about traditional prescription models getting disrupted, and we did see sales decline at the AllianceRx Walgreens unit in its latest quarter. The stock may seem cheap by conventional measuring sticks, but there are enough questions left unanswered to leave you wondering if this is a value trap.</p><h2>Lamb Weston</h2><p>We love fries, and Lamb Weston is a leading supplier of frozen potato, sweet potato, appetizer, and vegetable products to retailers and restaurant operators. Based out of Idaho -- of course -- Lamb Weston is the kind of stock that rarely makes an appearance on this list. It&#39;s profitable, and it even pays out a dividend.</p><p>The rub is that this a challenging time to be a food company. Rising costs everywhere from growing wages to skyrocketing production and transportation costs are pushing inflationary forces higher. How much more are you willing to pay for name-brand fries?</p><p>We&#39;ll get a financial update when Lamb Weston reports financial results for its fiscal second quarter an hour before Thursday&#39;s market open. Analysts see revenue climbing 8% from the prior year&#39;s depressed results, and just 3% compared to the same fiscal period two years ago. Wall Street pros see a slight dip in year-over-year profitability, and that&#39;s par for the course, as earnings should decline for the third fiscal year in a row. Lamb Weston has also fallen short of analyst net income targets in two of the past four quarters, and those forecasts have been inching lower in recent weeks. In short, Thursday&#39;s report is highly unlikely to impress investors.</p><h2>Grocery Outlet Holding</h2><p>A lot of companies that went public over the past two years are currently underwater, but that&#39;s not the case with Grocery Outlet Holding. The unique retailer that supplies a chain of contractor-operated discount grocery stores is up better than 50% since going public at $22 less 22 months ago.</p><p>Grocery Outlet lived up to the initial hype, and the 23% revenue growth it posted in 2020 was its strongest gain in years. However, with its top line declining last year -- even as its network of stores grew to more than 400 locations -- it&#39;s OK to have concerns. Still, Grocery Outlet isn&#39;t necessarily prone to the same inflationary concerns we have with Lamb Weston. It will find overstocks, closeouts, and clearance items to fill the shelves of its independent contractor-run stores. It could even be a beneficiary as shoppers forgo traditional supermarkets with full-service specialty departments to go bargain hunting with the ever-changing collection of marked-down offerings.</p><p>There are still issues with the stock&#39;s lofty valuation and iffy business model. If you&#39;re looking for safe stocks, you aren&#39;t likely to find them in Walgreens Boots Alliance, Lamb Weston, and Grocery Outlet Holding 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\n2022-04-05 08:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/04/3-stocks-to-avoid-this-week/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>My three stocks to avoid column for last week got off to a brutal start.

The Energy Select Sector SPDR <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFF\">Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF</a> (XLE) rose nearly 25% even as most of the rest of the equity universe was cratering. The sector benefited from soaring prices for crude oil and natural gas. This the partially driven by the war in Ukraine and western sanctions on Russian energy exports.</p><p>These policies, unfortunately but predictably, have not worked as designed. Russian is raking in record proceeds on the back of soaring energy prices and the Ruble is at multi-year highs and is currently the best performing currency in the world. Meanwhile, the western consumer has had to deal with record gas prices. Europe is particularly vulnerable to any sort of natural gas flow stoppage as we get to winter.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2976a09866753015e98a5b484d528c01\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"333\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p></p><p>There was piece on Seeking Alpha this weekend stating how JP Morgan thought oil could soar to as high as $380 a barrel in a worse case scenario where Russia cut its output by five million barrels a day. However, historically the cure for high oil prices is high oil prices. Oil spiked to over $145 a barrel in 2008, before going into a massive free fall as the western economies went into a deep recession thanks to the financial crisis. With recession looming here and in Europe, energy prices seem destine to go lower by the end of 2022. This is already starting to be reflected in the steep sell-off in the energy sector over the past couple of weeks. I look for the energy sector to underperform the overall market in the second half of 2022.</p><h2><b>Healthcare Sector Will Be A Winner:</b></h2><p>Investors are already gravitating to the &#39;<i>defensive</i>&#39; sectors of the market as economic activity continue to decline. One of these is the healthcare sector whose revenues will hold up much better than most industries in a recession scenario.</p><p>Recession or no recession, people still need to get their prescriptions filled, undergo chemo treatments and have necessary surgeries. I have recently established covered call positions on big drug names like Merck (MRK), Gilead Sciences (GILD) and Pfizer (PFE) as I build up exposure to this part of the market. All three names are reasonably valued, pay nice dividends and have liquid options available against their equities.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9cc60a32065d31454acfa3ff49dc13c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"333\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p></p><p>Biotech also appears to have bottomed recently after an approximate 60% decline since the beginning of 2021. With hundreds of small biotech names selling at or near the net cash on their balance sheets, it was hard for the sector to go even lower. There was also long term technical support developing. Given valuations and the large cash hoards at Big Pharma, I would expect M&amp;A activity to pick up in the second half of this year as well.</p><p>I don&#39;t think the second half of 2022 will be nearly as bad as the first half for investors. Barring a deep recession and/or a major escalation in the Ukraine War, of course That said, I don&#39;t believe the markets have hit bottom yet either. Falling economic activity and soaring input prices will have a significantly negative impact on profit margins. I expect second quarter earnings season to be one where guidance gets lowered across most sectors of the market as well as reflected in downwardly revised profit projections by analyst firms.</p><p>Therefore, my cash allocation is near 25% and I continue to use simple covered call strategies across the majority of the holdings in my portfolio for additional downside risk mitigation.</p><p>And those are some thoughts as trading gets underway in the second half of what has been a brutal year for investors to this point.</p><blockquote><i>&#34;Any order is a balancing act of extreme precariousness.&#34;</i> ― Walter Benjamin</blockquote></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>3 Bold Predictions For The Second Half Of 2022</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 Bold Predictions For The Second Half Of 2022\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-05 07:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4521666-bold-predictions-second-half-2022><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>\"When a man's neck's in danger, he doesn't stop to think too much about sentiment.\" ― Agatha ChristieThe first half of 2022 mercilessly ended last week.

In addition to outlining the allegedmeasures NIO has taken to falsely inflate its top- and bottom-line since 2020, Grizzly has also gathered extensive research in an attempt to character-assassinate NIO CEO Bin Li in order to “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” in its argument that the three core elements of fraud – opportunity, incentive and rationalization – exist in this situation for the EV maker.</p><p>While some of the findings raised in the short-seller report may raise questions that only NIO management can answer, there are also questionable and groundless arguments made by Grizzly that could significantly mislead and deceive existing and potential investors in the EV stock. The following analysis will focus on an overview of the short-seller’s core claim against NIO – namely, false inflation of revenue and net income via aggressive accounting and potentially fraudulent means – and provide a walkthrough of questions / challenges we have over the validity of some of those claims.</p><p><b>Accounting Crash Course: NIO’s BaaS Revenue Recognition Method</b></p><p>Through publicly disclosed information within NIO’s audited annual report, Grizzly had identified that NIO is frontloading and inflating revenue recognition pertaining to its battery-as-a-service (“BaaS”) sales via an unconsolidated related party.</p><p>In 2020, NIO, alongside an external consortium of investors that consist of EV battery maker CATL, Hubei Science Technology Investment Group, and a subsidiary of Fuotai Junan International Holdings Limited, have together created the joint venture “Wuhan Weineng Battery Asset Co., Ltd.,” (“Weineng”). Weineng was established in 2020, the same time when NIO’s battery lending service BaaS was introduced.</p><p>Under BaaS, NIO customers are eligible for a one-time discount of up to RMB 128,000 ($19,133) on the vehicle purchase if they opt for the battery lending subscription program instead of buying the battery with the vehicle upfront. This strategy has been an effective mean in fuelling the adoption of NIO EVs in China, especially with additional government subsidies for purchases that are compatible with battery swapping technology. All sales and costs pertaining to BaaS are managed by Weineng.</p><p>Now, the Weineng joint venture, in which NIO holds a 19.8% equity interest in, has been accounted for as an “equity-accounted investment” on the EV maker’s financial statements, given the definition of control under GAAP-based accounting has not been met (further discussed in later sections). Under GAAP-based accounting for related party transactions, “intragroup related party transactions and outstanding balances are eliminated, except for those between an investment entity and its subsidiaries measured at fair value through profit or loss, in the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the group”:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b533b2a1e657134b3b33f231c2b11f74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"292\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>GAAP Rules on Related Party Disclosures (IAS)</span></p><p>Based on NIO’s disclosures within its audited annual report on its revenue recognition method pertaining to BaaS sales, the EV maker sells its battery packs to Weineng on a “back-to-back” basis when a vehicle is sold to a customer subscribed to BaaS:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d726db76c4884663e28c157208e5cd77\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"150\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>NIO Revenue Recognition Policy on BaaS Sales (NIO 2021 20F)</span></p><p>In compliance with GAAP-based accounting for revenue recognition, a sale is reported to the income statement when a performance obligation is satisfied. Under NIO’s affiliation with Weineng, NIO sells Weineng a battery pack when a customer buys a vehicle with BaaS subscription. The performance obligation here is that NIO needs to provide a battery pack to Weineng, and once this is satisfied, NIO is permitted to recognize revenue on the battery sale based on a pre-contracted transaction price for the performance obligation. For NIO, the battery sold would have been previously considered as inventory. Following the recognition of the battery sale, NIO would have also recorded cost of sales pertaining to removing the battery from its inventory balance on the balance sheet:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2203faf29e5b271342335935df358d86\" tg-width=\"389\" tg-height=\"208\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Journal Entries for Battery Sales Business Model (Author)</span></p><p>In Weineng’s case, however, its performance obligation to customers is the provision of battery lending services on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the subscription option. As such, Weineng can only recognize monthly / annual BaaS revenue over time when it satisfies its battery lending obligation to customers. Weineng would also have to record depreciation costs over the useful life of its batteries, which are considered property, plant and equipment used in facilitating its service business:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4bf30456c1ff78b902edfa34d719f150\" tg-width=\"598\" tg-height=\"175\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Journal Entries for BaaS Business Model (Author)</span></p><p>This arrangement essentially allows NIO to recognize 100% of revenues pertaining to the battery pack sold to Weineng upfront upon selling a vehicle booked on BaaS on a one-for-one basis, instead of recognizing BaaS revenue and related depreciation costs on the batteries used in the BaaS business over time. The disclosed BaaS revenue recognition method for NIO also infers that the number of battery packs sold to Weineng should be equivalent to the number of BaaS subscribers as of period-end. BaaS revenues and related costs of sales (e.g. depreciation costs on batteries) recognized over time are instead in the books of Weineng, in which NIO accounts for on its balance sheet as an equity-accounted investment.</p><p>Because Weineng is an equity-accounted investment and not a consolidated entity in which NIO controls under the definition set out by GAAP-based accounting, NIO is not required to perform intragroup eliminations pertaining to the related party transaction. Instead, it is required to disclose the relationship, as well as the related amounts if material. This information is disclosed in NIO’s 2021 20 Funder “Note 26. Related Party Balances and Transactions”. Revenue and income generated by Weineng are accounted for in NIO’s financial statements as “share of (loss) / income of equity investees” pro-rated for its non-controlling interest.</p><p><b>Grizzly’s Core Short Thesis</b></p><p>Grizzly alleges the move is a fraudulent measure taken by NIO to “exaggerate revenue and profitability”. The short-seller has accused NIO of using the accounting “loophole” to frontload battery revenues pertaining to BaaS that should have been recognized over a course of about seven years (i.e. battery discount on BaaS vehicle purchase, divided by annual BaaS subscription fee).</p><p>In addition to frontloading revenue recognition on BaaS sales, Grizzly has also identified a discrepancy between the number of active BaaS subscribers and battery packs owned by Weineng as of September 30, 2021. Grizzly found thatWeineng had ownership of 40,053 battery packs as of September 30, 2021, but only had 19,000 active BaaS subscribers during the period, which is inconsistent with NIO’s claims that it only records battery sales to Weineng on a back-to-back basis with BaaS vehicle sales. Grizzly has attributed the discrepancy as NIO’s way of artificially inflating revenues by selling more battery packs to Weineng than it needs to fulfil BaaS performance obligations.</p><p>In order to support its claim that NIO is defrauding investors via the unconsolidated related party, Grizzly has also gathered additional research in an attempt to support the three key elements of the fraudulent triangle:</p><p><b>Opportunity:</b>As mentioned in the accounting overview section, the ownership structure between NIO and Weineng is accounted for as an equity-accounted investment, which allows NIO to bypass related party transaction eliminations on its financial statements. This accordingly provides an opportunity for NIO to artificially inflate its revenues at the group level by recording sales to the equity-accounted subsidiary, without the need to back it out at period end. Under GAAP-based accounting rules on related party transactions, NIO is required to disclose material details to the relationship, in which it has complied with.</p><p>The organizational structure also provides NIO an ability to recognize BaaS revenues upfront, instead of over an extended period of time given the difference in performance obligation it owes toWeinengcompared to thoseWeineng owes to BaaS subscribers. Grizzly also claims the method has allowed NIO to bypass depreciation costs on battery assets to the tune of RMB 336 million per year.</p><p><b>Incentive:</b>Grizzly has gone through extensive measures to dig up evidence to support NIO has a valid incentive for exaggerating its revenue and profitability. Citing an agreement between NIO and a state-backed consortium which has invested in a wholly-owned subsidiary “NIO China”, which requires NIO to redeem the investment upon failure in meeting pre-established performance metrics, such as achieving revenues of RMB 120 billion by 2024. However, the publicly disclosed information per NIO’s regulatory filings does not specify whether the RMB 120 billion revenue performance metric is required on an annual basis or on a cumulative basis between the time at which the agreement was forged with the state-backed investment consortium and 2024.</p><p>Grizzly has also inferred incentive for NIO to exaggerate its top- and bottom-line as a mean to pretty its valuation prospects, and attract investors from the public market.</p><p><b>Rationalization:</b>The short-seller report lacks support for how NIO tried to rationalize the alleged fraudulent reporting behaviour. However, Grizzly has proceeded to gather evidence to bolster its claim of why the likelihood of fraud at NIO is high. These include findings about NIO CEO Li’s past association with personnel that have been previously linked to high-profile fraudulent financial reporting cases like Luckin Coffee(OTCPK:LKNCY). Grizzly has also alluded to questionable behaviour by NIO CEO Li, such as pledging a NIO-affiliated subsidiary, “NIO User Trust”, in which Li personally controls to UBS AG without directly addressing the matter to shareholders. While these findings may warrant clarification from management, there is insufficient ground to warrant a fraudulent sentence to the company.</p><p>NIO management has also refuted Grizzly’s claims, saying allegations outlined in the report are “without merit and contains numerous errors, unsupported speculations and misleading conclusions and interpretations”, and has committed to bolstering public disclosures going forward to protect shareholders’ interests. Nowhere has the company tried to outright rationalize fraudulent reporting.</p><p><b>Challenging Grizzly’s Conclusion on “Control” Established by NIO Over Weineng</b></p><p>In addition to character assassination on Li to support its claims for fraudulent reporting behaviour at NIO, Grizzly has also attempted to conclude NIO’s control over Weineng. As mentioned in earlier sections, if NIO effectively “controls” Weineng, it would have to consolidate the investment and eliminate any earnings recorded via related party transactions.</p><p>First, Grizzly has identified “conflicting disclosure” between NIO’s claim that it has “significant influence” over Weineng in one place, and NIO’s claim that it only has “limited control over the business operations” ofWeinengin another place within a same regulatory filing. However, the words “significant influence” and “control” used within NIO’s regulatory filings are defined differently under GAAP-based accounting rules from general definitions of power that everyday investors are familiar with.</p><p>Significant influence is defined as “the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee without the power to control or jointly control those policies” under GAAP-based accounting. Significantly influence is typically established when an “entity holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of voting power of the investee”. NIO’s 19.8% equity interest in Weineng is sufficient to presume its “significant influence” over the investment:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/505c64f7bc18c02131dd830e5f2a5462\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"260\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>GAAP Rules on Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (IAS)</span></p><p>Pointing to our earlier reference to the definition of control established in GAAP-based accounting, the acquiring party only establishes “control” over the acquired party if it demonstrates three primary elements:</p><p>1. “<b>Power</b>” over the acquired entity, which is defined under GAAP as a substantive right exercised by an acquirer over the acquiree for non-protective benefits (e.g. exercising rights without the need for breach of contract or majority investor support). Based on publicly disclosed information in NIO’s regulatory filings, it only holds one of nine board seats on Weineng. There is also no mention of voting agreements that would pass on majority board and/or owner voting rights to NIO. With one of nine board seats, and a 19.8% equity interest, NIO does not exhibit power over Weineng to establish control.</p><p>2. Exposure to<i>variable returns</i>from the acquiree based on the acquirer’s involvement. NIO does not generate additional fees from Weineng based on Weineng’s performance. NIO is only exposed to Weineng’s earnings through its equity-accounted share of the investment.</p><p>As for the acquirer’s involvement in interfering with returns generated from the acquiree, Grizzly has pointed to the installation of two existing NIO executives to Weineng in management roles that include “Legal Representative and Chairman” and “General Manager and Director”. However, considering NIO’s significant influence over Weineng as defined under GAAP rules explained earlier, it is not unusual for the two parties to share employees or for NIO to “participate in the financial and operating policy decisions” of Weineng through the two shared employees. As such, NIO can account for its investment inWeinengas an equity-accounted investment, as long as “control” is not established even if it has installed employees at Weineng. Based on NIO’s failure to meet criterion 1 “power”, it already fails to establish control under GAAP rules over Weineng based on the existing ownership and voting structure disclosed in regulatory filings.</p><p>Grizzly has also alluded to the installation of two NIO executives in the daily operations of Weineng as a “major conflict of interest”. However, the auditor’s report per NIO’s audited 2021 20F states that “the company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in<i>Internal Control – Integrated Framework</i>(2013) issued by the COSO”. The COSO framework requires that internal controls address segregation of duty requirements to ensure fair presentation of financial information without material misstatements whether due to error or fraud. As such, it is reasonable to believe that segregation of duty controls in place pertaining to the two executives’ roles in both NIO and Weineng have been tested as effective as of the reporting date.</p><p>3. The acquiring party is a<i>principal</i>in the transaction, and not an agent. Under GAAP-based accounting, an agent is “primarily engaged to act on behalf and for the benefit of another party…[and] does not control an investee when it exercises decision-making rights delegated to it”. In determining whether NIO is an agent over Weineng, the i) scope of NIO’s decision-making authority over Weineng, ii) the rights held by other investors in Weineng, iii) the remuneration in which NIO is entitled to in its affiliation with Weineng, and iv) NIO’s exposure to variability of returns from its interest in Weineng must be considered:</p><ul><li>Based on the foregoing analysis, we know that NIO’s sole decision-making authority over Weineng is limited given it only holds 19.8% equity interest with one in nine board seats in the joint venture. The two NIO executives installed in the daily operations of Weineng also do not exhibit characteristics of sole control over the joint ventures’ business.</li><li>The remainder of the investment consortium over Weineng holds the remaining eight of nine board seats, and 80.2% equity interest in the joint venture. There have also been no mention of signed-over voting rights by the investment consortium to NIO in publicly disclosed information that would give NIO control over Weineng.</li><li>In addition to battery sales, NIO is also entitled to service revenue earned from Weineng through service agreements. NIO earns revenue for providing “battery packmonitoring, maintenance, upgrade, replacement, IT system support, etc.” to Weineng via monthly service charges. As of the reporting year ended December 31, 2021, service revenues pertaining to the service agreements between NIO and Weineng were immaterial according to disclosures in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, section<i>(r) Revenue recognition</i>in the 2021 20F.</li><li>As discussed in the control assessment under criterion 2, NIO’s exposure to variability of returns in its investment in Weineng is insufficient to establish control under GAAP-based accounting.</li></ul><p><b>Challenging Grizzly’s Quantification of NIO’s Alleged Revenue and Profit Inflation</b></p><p>Grizzly believes NIO has inflated revenue and net income by “about 10% and 95%, respectively”, via its affiliation with Weineng. Grizzly’s calculations, as well as our skepticism, is outlined as follows:</p><p><b>1. Frontloaded Revenue via Battery Sales to Weineng</b></p><p><b>Grizzly’s accusation.</b>As discussed in the foregoing analysis, Grizzly identified that NIO has been recognizing battery revenues pertaining to BaaS upfront via its affiliation with Weineng. Instead of recognizing BaaS revenues over time when the service performance obligation is satisfied, NIO is able to recognize 100% of battery revenues sold to customers via BaaS subscriptions through the Weineng JV. Grizzly claims that this arrangement effectively allows NIO to pull forward seven years of BaaS revenue upfront.</p><p><b>Grizzly’s calculation of quantified impacts.</b>Considering vehicle purchase discounts ranging RMB 70,000 (70/75 kWh battery pack) to RMB 128,000 (100 kWh battery pack) upon buyer’s subscription to BaaS, Grizzly has taken the lower end of the range (i.e. RMB 70,000) as the proxy for battery pack revenues. Based on annual BaaS subscription fees at RMB 11,760 (RMB 980/mo.) for the 70 kWh battery pack, which yields a vehicle discount of RMB 70,000 with subscription to BaaS, Grizzly has assumed a BaaS revenue recognition timeline of about seven years (i.e. RMB 70,000 discount, divided by RMB 11,760 annual BaaS subscription fee, adjusted for inflation) – we consider this a reasonable assumption.</p><p>Now, as of September 30, 2021, a public regulatory filing by Weineng disclosed that it had 19,000 active BaaS subscribers. 18% of its subscription base were subscribed to the RMB 1,480/mo. 100 kWh battery pack, and 82% were subscribed to the RMB 980/mo. 70/75 kWh battery pack at the time.</p><p>Grizzly’s calculation of inflated revenues and income pertaining to NIO’s sale of 19,000 BaaS-related batteries to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021 is as follows:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/21e7d58b24ac2bde6344b4206ef9be8e\" tg-width=\"592\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Grizzly&#39;s Computation of Inflated Revenue and Income Pertaining to Pulled Forward BaaS Sales (Grizzly Research)</span></p><p>As of the nine months ended September 30, 2021, NIO had generated RMB 2,796 million in revenues from the sale of batteries to Weineng (full year 2021 revenues generated from Weineng: RMB 4,138 million, 11% of total NIO 2021 revenue). Based on 19,000 active BaaS subscribers, and ownership of 40,053 battery packs owned as reported by Weineng as of September 30, 2021, Grizzly estimates that only 47% of the RMB 2,796 million in revenues generated from the sale of goods to Weineng are related to “real” BaaS sales. Essentially, Grizzly claims only RMB 1,326 million of RMB 2,796 million in sales of goods to Weineng recognized on NIO’s income statement in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are related to real BaaS battery sales.</p><p>The RMB 1,326 million pertaining to 19,000 battery packs sold to Weineng for the number of active BaaS subscribers at the time is effectively the “upfront” revenue recognized by NIO, which should have been recognized over a course of seven years instead based on the estimated performance obligation timeline discussed in earlier sections. Without Weineng, NIO would have instead had to recognize BaaS revenues related to the 19,000 subscribers over time, which is equivalent to RMB 179 million in the nine month period ending September 30, 2021. This essentially means NIO had allegedly pulled forward RMB 1,147 million in revenues related to BaaS sales in the nine months ending September 30, 2021.</p><p>In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, NIO had reported total revenue of RMB 26,236 million and net losses of RMB 1,874 million. The RMB 1,147 million in pulled forward BaaS revenues represents 4% of total revenues recognized over the nine-month reporting period.</p><p>To generate the “adjusted” net income that NIO would have reported had Weineng never existed, Grizzly had removed RMB 1,147 million in pulled forward revenues pertaining to BaaS sales directly from actual reported net losses of RMB 1,874 million. This accordingly yields adjusted net losses of RMB 3,021 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 at NIO, or a variance of 61%.</p><p><b>Issue with Grizzly’s claim.</b>In Grizzly’s calculation of adjusted net losses had BaaS revenue never been pulled forward at NIO via its affiliation with Weineng, the short-seller did not add back costs of sales that NIO would have recognized when it sold the battery packs to Weineng and recorded the related revenue.</p><p>While profit margins on NIO’s battery pack sales to Weineng are not disclosed, Grizzly had used 20% as a proxy, which is “consistent with the margin of an entire vehicle [considering] batteries are a cost center for all vehicles”. Using the 20% profit margin proxy on 19,000 battery pack sales to Weineng totalling RMB 1,326 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, NIO would have recorded related cost of sales of RMB 1,060.9 million (i.e. 0.8% cost of revenues x RMB 1,326 million battery revenues recorded on the sale of 19,000 units to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021).</p><p>When Grizzly removed/pulled forward BaaS revenues of RMB 1,147 million from NIO’s actual net losses of RMB 1,874 million reported in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, Grizzly should have also added back related cost of sales totalling RMB 917.6 million in determining the adjusted net income reported.</p><p><b>Livy’s revised calculation of quantified impacts.</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/324a74d6eeeb60a4bd2da9251d4d6ed8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"416\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Livy&#39;s Computation of Revenue and Income Variances Pertaining to NIO&#39;s Alleged Frontloading of BaaS Sales (Author)</span></p><p>The above revised net income adjustment backs out alleged pulled forward BaaS revenues by NIO through its affiliation with Weineng from actual net losses reported by NIO in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The orange-highlighted cells represent the incremental cost of sales pertaining to pulled forward BaaS revenues that should have been added back to adjusted net income in order to represent a fair representation of NIO’s adjusted net losses for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 if Weineng never existed and the EV maker had to recognize BaaS revenues over time. This adjustment accordingly reduces the variance of 61% from Grizzly’s calculation of adjusted net losses, to 12% – a material difference that, like Grizzly is accusing NIO of doing, misleads investors on the matter discussed.</p><p><b>2. Revenues from Oversupplied Batteries to Weineng</b></p><p><b>Grizzly’s accusation.</b>Based on NIO’s revenue recognition method on BaaS sales, the number of battery packs sold to Weineng should be equivalent to the number of vehicle buyers that have subscribed to BaaS at the time of purchase. Based on 19,000 active BaaS subscribers reported by Weineng as of September 30, 2021, it is easy to assume that NIO should have only sold 19,000 battery packs to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021 as well to comply with the EV maker’s revenue recognition method on BaaS sales outlined in its 2021 20F.</p><p>However, Weineng had reported ownership of 40,053 battery packs as of September 30, 2021, which exceeds its active subscriber base of 19,000 by 21,053 units. As such, Grizzly has accused NIO of intentionally overselling battery packs to Weineng to inflate revenues.</p><p>While the discrepancy is indeed a question for management, Grizzly had cited that there is no need for Weineng to hold that many additional battery packs, even for operational purposes. Grizzly had gone on to explain its field work done at NIO Power Swap stations to verify that there is no difference between BaaS battery packs owned by Weineng and battery packs used in swap stations owned by NIO. However, we believe the additional field work is a moot point, considering NIO Power Swap operations are not related to Weineng. Weineng only facilitates NIO’s BaaS battery lending business, and nothing else – Grizzly did not even have to go out of its way to check on NIO’s Power Swap stations and hold conversations with sales staff at NIO’s car centers.</p><p><b>Livy’s response.</b>While the number of battery packs owned by Weineng should essentially be equivalent to the number of active BaaS subscribers, there is a possibility that a total of 40,053 NIO vehicle sales between 2020 when BaaS was established and September 30, 2021 had subscribed to BaaS. Perhaps, as of reporting date on September 30, 2021, there were 21,053 BaaS subscribers that have halted monthly subscriptions, which is not surprising given the third quarter is not a typical driving season, and there is a possibility that these NIO vehicle owners did not need to use their vehicles during the period.</p><p>Grizzly has also supported its claim that NIO oversupplied battery packs to Weineng to intentionally inflate revenues by saying that Weineng has no storage facility to store its 21,053 excess battery packs as of September 30, 2021. However, we do not find this surprising, as BaaS subscribers that have halted monthly subscriptions might be holding onto the emptied battery packs on consignment or have returned them to a NIO servicing center where NIO has held onto these Weineng-owned battery packs on consignment. The lack of battery pack storage facility owned by Weineng does not conclude that its ownership of the excess battery packs is fraudulent and made up.</p><p>There can be many reasons why a discrepancy exists between the number of active BaaS subscribers and battery packs owned by Weineng at the end of a reporting period. The above are just two assumptions that could invalidate Grizzly’s accusation (which is also an assumption). The real answer to the discrepancy can only be explained by NIO and Weineng management.</p><p><b>Grizzly’s calculation of quantified impacts.</b>In determining the inflated revenue and earnings specific to the allegedly oversupplied battery packs from NIO to Weineng, Grizzly had performed the following calculations:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2497da8272eec2b6020c07b7ee06b1f\" tg-width=\"580\" tg-height=\"420\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Grizzly&#39;s Computation of Revenue and Net Income Variances Pertaining to Oversupplied Batteries (Grizzly Research)</span></p><p>In deriving the inflated revenues related to the allegedly oversupplied battery packs, Grizzly had determined the percentage of battery packs owned by Weineng as of September 30, 2021 that were in excess to its active subscriber base as 53% (i.e. 21,053 excess battery packs, divided by 40,053 battery packs owned by Weineng as of September 30, 2021). The percentage was applied to total revenue recognized by NIO pertaining to the sale of battery packs to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, resulting in oversold battery revenues of RMB 1,470 million (i.e. 53% oversold batteries x RMB 2,796 million in related party revenues from Weineng recorded by NIO for the nine months ending September 30, 2021).</p><p>In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, NIO had reported total revenue of RMB 26,236 million and net losses of RMB 1,874 million. The RMB 1,470 million in oversold battery revenue represents 6% of total NIO revenues recognized over the nine-month reporting period.</p><p>Considering Grizzly’s 20% profit margin assumption on battery pack sales as discussed in earlier sections, the oversold battery packs to Weineng would have generated net income of RMB 294 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. As such, backing out RMB 294 million in overstated profits back to NIO’s actual reported net losses of RMB 1,874 million in the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021 would have yield adjusted net losses of RMB 2,168 million, representing a variance of 16%.</p><p>We have no issues with this calculation performed by Grizzly, other than concerns over the short-seller’s claims that these 20,053 battery packs were intentionally “oversold” by NIO to Weineng to artificially boost revenues.</p><p><b>3. Shifting Depreciation Costs</b></p><p><b>Grizzly’s Accusations.</b>Grizzly has accused NIO of indirectly shifting depreciation costs on the battery packs sold to Weineng, saving the EV maker north of RMB 336 million in depreciation expense on an annual basis.</p><p>Specifically, Grizzly has assumed a 20% profit margin on NIO’s battery sales totalling RMB 2,796 million generated from Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. This represents battery assets valued at a cost basis of RMB 2.25 billion (i.e. 80% cost x RMB 2,796 in battery sales to Weineng, adjusted for minor rounding differences) removed from the EV maker’s balance sheet over the same period.</p><p>Based on the five to eight years useful life attributable to equipment, including battery packs, used in NIO’s Power Swap business as disclosed in its 2021 20F, Grizzly has assumed an annual depreciation rate of about 15% on the battery packs sold to Weineng and removed from NIO’s balance sheet in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. This is consistent with the assumed BaaS revenue recognition timeline of about seven years as discussed in earlier sections. As such, Grizzly has accused NIO of avoiding depreciation costs of RMB 336 million (i.e. 15% battery depreciation rate x RMB 2,796 million in battery pack sales to Weineng) in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The short-seller has also alluded to the RMB 336 million as a proxy for annual depreciation costs that NIO has avoided via its arrangement with Weineng.</p><p><b>Issue with Grizzly’s claim.</b>There are two folds to this situation:</p><p><b>1. BaaS Business Model:</b>Under the BaaS business model, the battery packs are considered equipment used in facilitating a service business. As such, the related battery packs would be subjected to depreciation over its useful life. In NIO’s case, if Weineng never existed and the EV maker consolidates its BaaS business, NIO would have had to recognized BaaS revenues pertaining to the 19,000 battery packs that Grizzly has attributed to the BaaS business over seven years, and accordingly record depreciation costs on these battery packs as well over their useful lives of about seven years. As mentioned in earlier sections, the related journal entries under the BaaS business model is as follows:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e89611dda7a7e83881997628fe7aae3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"187\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Journal Entries for BaaS Business Model (Author)</span></p><p><b>2. Battery Sales Business Model:</b>in the current situation where NIO has sold the battery packs to Weineng, the battery packs are considered inventory to NIO. There is no depreciation costs related to inventory under GAAP-based accounting. Instead, NIO needs to record the costs of this inventory when they are removed from its balance sheet once the sale is recognized. As mentioned in earlier sections, the related journal entries under the battery sale business model is as follows:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2203faf29e5b271342335935df358d86\" tg-width=\"389\" tg-height=\"208\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Journal Entries for Battery Sales Business Model (Author)</span></p><p>Now, in NIO’s current actual situation, it is engaged in a battery sales business model under its performance obligation to Weineng, while Weineng is engaged in a BaaS business model under its performance obligation to BaaS subscribers.</p><p>As discussed in our first challenge to Grizzly’s calculations pertaining to pulled forward revenue on BaaS battery sales to Weineng, NIO would have recorded costs of sales pertaining to the sold battery inventory when it recognized the related revenues. And this cost of sales number, based on a 20% profit margin assumption consistent with that used by Grizzly, would have accounted for the costs of battery inventory removed from NIO’s balance sheet upon completion of the sale to Weineng. This is consistent with Grizzly’s own calculation pertaining to profit margins on the battery packs that it alleges NIO had oversupplied to Weineng, which is inclusive of cost of sales related to written off inventory incurred by NIO upon recognition of related revenues.</p><p>If NIO was engaged in the BaaS business model itself, without the intervention of Weineng, it would have recognized depreciation at a rate of 15% per year on the battery packs. However, under the upfront sale of related battery packs to Weineng, NIO would have recorded related cost of sales at an upfront rate of 80% as well. So basically, instead of recording revenues and depreciation costs on battery packs over time, NIO essentially recorded revenues and battery inventory costs upfront under its current arrangement with Weineng.</p><p><b>Grizzly’s calculation of quantified impacts.</b>Grizzly’s accusation that NIO has overstated revenues and earnings by 10% and 95%, respectively, through its affiliation with Weineng is calculated as follows:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96f972c8d488406cd690b0672265e62b\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"498\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Grizzly&#39;s Computation of Total Revenue and Income Inflation (Grizzly Research)</span></p><p>As discussed in earlier sections, NIO’s pulled forward BaaS revenues and inflated battery sales revenues via its affiliation with Weineng represent 4% and 6% of its total revenues, respectively, recognized in the nine months ending September 30, 2021.

The net income variance of RMB 523 million ($78 million) found in our calculation is also immaterial (&lt; 1%) based on NIO’s market value of $58.38 billion as of September 30, 2021 and NIO’s market value of approximately $35 billion today.</p><p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p>As discussed in the introduction of this analysis, Grizzly had also touched on things like NIO CEO Li’s association with fraudulent personnel, the pledge of NIO User Trust to UBS AG, and conflict of interests to further support its argument that NIO is engaged in fraudulent financial reporting. However, these are groundless allegations that have yet to be substantiated to infer Li is committing fraud via NIO’s operations. While investors should always exercise professional skepticism on publicly disclosed information in regulatory filings when making investment decisions, the same skepticism should also be placed on external claims – such as those by the short-seller, commentary by external sources, and/or even commentary herein – especially if they argue that correlation = causation (e.g. Grizzly’s method in inferring that fraud at NIO is substantiated given “dirt” it has dug up on Li’s past).</p><p>While we agree that there are some good takeaways from the short-seller report that may require further clarification from management, it is important to recognize and acknowledge that a lot of it might also be misleading – or in the words of Grizzly, “exaggerated”. This is also consistent with NIO’s stock performance during Tuesday and Wednesday’s session following release of the short-seller report. The stock has largely moved in consistency with the ongoing market rout, and broad-based selloff across the EV sector, with no extreme deviation due to the negative headline from Grizzly, which indicates that market participants, especially significant shareholders in NIO, are still digesting the latest external allegations.</p><p>At the end of the day, NIO remains one of the most viable EV businesses in the emerging sector, with continued demand for its vehicles to support further growth over the long-run. Unlike some of the upstarts in the increasingly competitive EV landscape that have been accused of fraud, such as Nikola (NKLA), Lordstown Motors (RIDE), and Faraday Future (FFIE), NIO already operates a global business with a substantiated vehicle order book to support the bulk of its top- and bottom-line expansion, which continues to support its positive valuation prospects ahead.</p><p>This article was written by Livy Investment Research</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The information was largely used as support for Grizzly's claims of financial manipulation at NIO.However, we believe some of the information reported by Grizzly have been exaggerated to support its short bias against NIO. We also question the validity of some of the quantified impacts that Grizzly is claiming against NIO's BaaS operations.Drew Angerer/Getty Images NewsGrizzly Research (\"Grizzly\") has released a short-seller report on NIO (NYSE:NIO) Tuesday morning, citing the Chinese electric vehicle (“EV”) company has engaged in the exaggeration of revenue and profitability via aggressive accounting methods and fraudulent means. In addition to outlining the allegedmeasures NIO has taken to falsely inflate its top- and bottom-line since 2020, Grizzly has also gathered extensive research in an attempt to character-assassinate NIO CEO Bin Li in order to “dot the i’s and cross the t’s” in its argument that the three core elements of fraud – opportunity, incentive and rationalization – exist in this situation for the EV maker.While some of the findings raised in the short-seller report may raise questions that only NIO management can answer, there are also questionable and groundless arguments made by Grizzly that could significantly mislead and deceive existing and potential investors in the EV stock. The following analysis will focus on an overview of the short-seller’s core claim against NIO – namely, false inflation of revenue and net income via aggressive accounting and potentially fraudulent means – and provide a walkthrough of questions / challenges we have over the validity of some of those claims.Accounting Crash Course: NIO’s BaaS Revenue Recognition MethodThrough publicly disclosed information within NIO’s audited annual report, Grizzly had identified that NIO is frontloading and inflating revenue recognition pertaining to its battery-as-a-service (“BaaS”) sales via an unconsolidated related party.In 2020, NIO, alongside an external consortium of investors that consist of EV battery maker CATL, Hubei Science Technology Investment Group, and a subsidiary of Fuotai Junan International Holdings Limited, have together created the joint venture “Wuhan Weineng Battery Asset Co., Ltd.,” (“Weineng”). Weineng was established in 2020, the same time when NIO’s battery lending service BaaS was introduced.Under BaaS, NIO customers are eligible for a one-time discount of up to RMB 128,000 ($19,133) on the vehicle purchase if they opt for the battery lending subscription program instead of buying the battery with the vehicle upfront. This strategy has been an effective mean in fuelling the adoption of NIO EVs in China, especially with additional government subsidies for purchases that are compatible with battery swapping technology. All sales and costs pertaining to BaaS are managed by Weineng.Now, the Weineng joint venture, in which NIO holds a 19.8% equity interest in, has been accounted for as an “equity-accounted investment” on the EV maker’s financial statements, given the definition of control under GAAP-based accounting has not been met (further discussed in later sections). Under GAAP-based accounting for related party transactions, “intragroup related party transactions and outstanding balances are eliminated, except for those between an investment entity and its subsidiaries measured at fair value through profit or loss, in the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the group”:GAAP Rules on Related Party Disclosures (IAS)Based on NIO’s disclosures within its audited annual report on its revenue recognition method pertaining to BaaS sales, the EV maker sells its battery packs to Weineng on a “back-to-back” basis when a vehicle is sold to a customer subscribed to BaaS:NIO Revenue Recognition Policy on BaaS Sales (NIO 2021 20F)In compliance with GAAP-based accounting for revenue recognition, a sale is reported to the income statement when a performance obligation is satisfied. Under NIO’s affiliation with Weineng, NIO sells Weineng a battery pack when a customer buys a vehicle with BaaS subscription. The performance obligation here is that NIO needs to provide a battery pack to Weineng, and once this is satisfied, NIO is permitted to recognize revenue on the battery sale based on a pre-contracted transaction price for the performance obligation. For NIO, the battery sold would have been previously considered as inventory. Following the recognition of the battery sale, NIO would have also recorded cost of sales pertaining to removing the battery from its inventory balance on the balance sheet:Journal Entries for Battery Sales Business Model (Author)In Weineng’s case, however, its performance obligation to customers is the provision of battery lending services on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the subscription option. As such, Weineng can only recognize monthly / annual BaaS revenue over time when it satisfies its battery lending obligation to customers. Weineng would also have to record depreciation costs over the useful life of its batteries, which are considered property, plant and equipment used in facilitating its service business:Journal Entries for BaaS Business Model (Author)This arrangement essentially allows NIO to recognize 100% of revenues pertaining to the battery pack sold to Weineng upfront upon selling a vehicle booked on BaaS on a one-for-one basis, instead of recognizing BaaS revenue and related depreciation costs on the batteries used in the BaaS business over time. The disclosed BaaS revenue recognition method for NIO also infers that the number of battery packs sold to Weineng should be equivalent to the number of BaaS subscribers as of period-end. BaaS revenues and related costs of sales (e.g. depreciation costs on batteries) recognized over time are instead in the books of Weineng, in which NIO accounts for on its balance sheet as an equity-accounted investment.Because Weineng is an equity-accounted investment and not a consolidated entity in which NIO controls under the definition set out by GAAP-based accounting, NIO is not required to perform intragroup eliminations pertaining to the related party transaction. Instead, it is required to disclose the relationship, as well as the related amounts if material. This information is disclosed in NIO’s 2021 20 Funder “Note 26. Related Party Balances and Transactions”. Revenue and income generated by Weineng are accounted for in NIO’s financial statements as “share of (loss) / income of equity investees” pro-rated for its non-controlling interest.Grizzly’s Core Short ThesisGrizzly alleges the move is a fraudulent measure taken by NIO to “exaggerate revenue and profitability”. The short-seller has accused NIO of using the accounting “loophole” to frontload battery revenues pertaining to BaaS that should have been recognized over a course of about seven years (i.e. battery discount on BaaS vehicle purchase, divided by annual BaaS subscription fee).In addition to frontloading revenue recognition on BaaS sales, Grizzly has also identified a discrepancy between the number of active BaaS subscribers and battery packs owned by Weineng as of September 30, 2021. Grizzly found thatWeineng had ownership of 40,053 battery packs as of September 30, 2021, but only had 19,000 active BaaS subscribers during the period, which is inconsistent with NIO’s claims that it only records battery sales to Weineng on a back-to-back basis with BaaS vehicle sales. Grizzly has attributed the discrepancy as NIO’s way of artificially inflating revenues by selling more battery packs to Weineng than it needs to fulfil BaaS performance obligations.In order to support its claim that NIO is defrauding investors via the unconsolidated related party, Grizzly has also gathered additional research in an attempt to support the three key elements of the fraudulent triangle:Opportunity:As mentioned in the accounting overview section, the ownership structure between NIO and Weineng is accounted for as an equity-accounted investment, which allows NIO to bypass related party transaction eliminations on its financial statements. This accordingly provides an opportunity for NIO to artificially inflate its revenues at the group level by recording sales to the equity-accounted subsidiary, without the need to back it out at period end. Under GAAP-based accounting rules on related party transactions, NIO is required to disclose material details to the relationship, in which it has complied with.The organizational structure also provides NIO an ability to recognize BaaS revenues upfront, instead of over an extended period of time given the difference in performance obligation it owes toWeinengcompared to thoseWeineng owes to BaaS subscribers. Grizzly also claims the method has allowed NIO to bypass depreciation costs on battery assets to the tune of RMB 336 million per year.Incentive:Grizzly has gone through extensive measures to dig up evidence to support NIO has a valid incentive for exaggerating its revenue and profitability. Citing an agreement between NIO and a state-backed consortium which has invested in a wholly-owned subsidiary “NIO China”, which requires NIO to redeem the investment upon failure in meeting pre-established performance metrics, such as achieving revenues of RMB 120 billion by 2024. However, the publicly disclosed information per NIO’s regulatory filings does not specify whether the RMB 120 billion revenue performance metric is required on an annual basis or on a cumulative basis between the time at which the agreement was forged with the state-backed investment consortium and 2024.Grizzly has also inferred incentive for NIO to exaggerate its top- and bottom-line as a mean to pretty its valuation prospects, and attract investors from the public market.Rationalization:The short-seller report lacks support for how NIO tried to rationalize the alleged fraudulent reporting behaviour. However, Grizzly has proceeded to gather evidence to bolster its claim of why the likelihood of fraud at NIO is high. These include findings about NIO CEO Li’s past association with personnel that have been previously linked to high-profile fraudulent financial reporting cases like Luckin Coffee(OTCPK:LKNCY). Grizzly has also alluded to questionable behaviour by NIO CEO Li, such as pledging a NIO-affiliated subsidiary, “NIO User Trust”, in which Li personally controls to UBS AG without directly addressing the matter to shareholders. While these findings may warrant clarification from management, there is insufficient ground to warrant a fraudulent sentence to the company.NIO management has also refuted Grizzly’s claims, saying allegations outlined in the report are “without merit and contains numerous errors, unsupported speculations and misleading conclusions and interpretations”, and has committed to bolstering public disclosures going forward to protect shareholders’ interests. Nowhere has the company tried to outright rationalize fraudulent reporting.Challenging Grizzly’s Conclusion on “Control” Established by NIO Over WeinengIn addition to character assassination on Li to support its claims for fraudulent reporting behaviour at NIO, Grizzly has also attempted to conclude NIO’s control over Weineng. As mentioned in earlier sections, if NIO effectively “controls” Weineng, it would have to consolidate the investment and eliminate any earnings recorded via related party transactions.First, Grizzly has identified “conflicting disclosure” between NIO’s claim that it has “significant influence” over Weineng in one place, and NIO’s claim that it only has “limited control over the business operations” ofWeinengin another place within a same regulatory filing. However, the words “significant influence” and “control” used within NIO’s regulatory filings are defined differently under GAAP-based accounting rules from general definitions of power that everyday investors are familiar with.Significant influence is defined as “the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee without the power to control or jointly control those policies” under GAAP-based accounting. Significantly influence is typically established when an “entity holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of voting power of the investee”. NIO’s 19.8% equity interest in Weineng is sufficient to presume its “significant influence” over the investment:GAAP Rules on Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (IAS)Pointing to our earlier reference to the definition of control established in GAAP-based accounting, the acquiring party only establishes “control” over the acquired party if it demonstrates three primary elements:1. “Power” over the acquired entity, which is defined under GAAP as a substantive right exercised by an acquirer over the acquiree for non-protective benefits (e.g. exercising rights without the need for breach of contract or majority investor support). Based on publicly disclosed information in NIO’s regulatory filings, it only holds one of nine board seats on Weineng. There is also no mention of voting agreements that would pass on majority board and/or owner voting rights to NIO. With one of nine board seats, and a 19.8% equity interest, NIO does not exhibit power over Weineng to establish control.2. Exposure tovariable returnsfrom the acquiree based on the acquirer’s involvement. NIO does not generate additional fees from Weineng based on Weineng’s performance. NIO is only exposed to Weineng’s earnings through its equity-accounted share of the investment.As for the acquirer’s involvement in interfering with returns generated from the acquiree, Grizzly has pointed to the installation of two existing NIO executives to Weineng in management roles that include “Legal Representative and Chairman” and “General Manager and Director”. However, considering NIO’s significant influence over Weineng as defined under GAAP rules explained earlier, it is not unusual for the two parties to share employees or for NIO to “participate in the financial and operating policy decisions” of Weineng through the two shared employees. As such, NIO can account for its investment inWeinengas an equity-accounted investment, as long as “control” is not established even if it has installed employees at Weineng. Based on NIO’s failure to meet criterion 1 “power”, it already fails to establish control under GAAP rules over Weineng based on the existing ownership and voting structure disclosed in regulatory filings.Grizzly has also alluded to the installation of two NIO executives in the daily operations of Weineng as a “major conflict of interest”. However, the auditor’s report per NIO’s audited 2021 20F states that “the company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the COSO”. The COSO framework requires that internal controls address segregation of duty requirements to ensure fair presentation of financial information without material misstatements whether due to error or fraud. As such, it is reasonable to believe that segregation of duty controls in place pertaining to the two executives’ roles in both NIO and Weineng have been tested as effective as of the reporting date.3. The acquiring party is aprincipalin the transaction, and not an agent. Under GAAP-based accounting, an agent is “primarily engaged to act on behalf and for the benefit of another party…[and] does not control an investee when it exercises decision-making rights delegated to it”. In determining whether NIO is an agent over Weineng, the i) scope of NIO’s decision-making authority over Weineng, ii) the rights held by other investors in Weineng, iii) the remuneration in which NIO is entitled to in its affiliation with Weineng, and iv) NIO’s exposure to variability of returns from its interest in Weineng must be considered:Based on the foregoing analysis, we know that NIO’s sole decision-making authority over Weineng is limited given it only holds 19.8% equity interest with one in nine board seats in the joint venture. The two NIO executives installed in the daily operations of Weineng also do not exhibit characteristics of sole control over the joint ventures’ business.The remainder of the investment consortium over Weineng holds the remaining eight of nine board seats, and 80.2% equity interest in the joint venture. There have also been no mention of signed-over voting rights by the investment consortium to NIO in publicly disclosed information that would give NIO control over Weineng.In addition to battery sales, NIO is also entitled to service revenue earned from Weineng through service agreements. NIO earns revenue for providing “battery packmonitoring, maintenance, upgrade, replacement, IT system support, etc.” to Weineng via monthly service charges. As of the reporting year ended December 31, 2021, service revenues pertaining to the service agreements between NIO and Weineng were immaterial according to disclosures in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, section(r) Revenue recognitionin the 2021 20F.As discussed in the control assessment under criterion 2, NIO’s exposure to variability of returns in its investment in Weineng is insufficient to establish control under GAAP-based accounting.Challenging Grizzly’s Quantification of NIO’s Alleged Revenue and Profit InflationGrizzly believes NIO has inflated revenue and net income by “about 10% and 95%, respectively”, via its affiliation with Weineng. Grizzly’s calculations, as well as our skepticism, is outlined as follows:1. Frontloaded Revenue via Battery Sales to WeinengGrizzly’s accusation.As discussed in the foregoing analysis, Grizzly identified that NIO has been recognizing battery revenues pertaining to BaaS upfront via its affiliation with Weineng. Instead of recognizing BaaS revenues over time when the service performance obligation is satisfied, NIO is able to recognize 100% of battery revenues sold to customers via BaaS subscriptions through the Weineng JV. Grizzly claims that this arrangement effectively allows NIO to pull forward seven years of BaaS revenue upfront.Grizzly’s calculation of quantified impacts.Considering vehicle purchase discounts ranging RMB 70,000 (70/75 kWh battery pack) to RMB 128,000 (100 kWh battery pack) upon buyer’s subscription to BaaS, Grizzly has taken the lower end of the range (i.e. RMB 70,000) as the proxy for battery pack revenues. Based on annual BaaS subscription fees at RMB 11,760 (RMB 980/mo.) for the 70 kWh battery pack, which yields a vehicle discount of RMB 70,000 with subscription to BaaS, Grizzly has assumed a BaaS revenue recognition timeline of about seven years (i.e. RMB 70,000 discount, divided by RMB 11,760 annual BaaS subscription fee, adjusted for inflation) – we consider this a reasonable assumption.Now, as of September 30, 2021, a public regulatory filing by Weineng disclosed that it had 19,000 active BaaS subscribers. 18% of its subscription base were subscribed to the RMB 1,480/mo. 100 kWh battery pack, and 82% were subscribed to the RMB 980/mo. 70/75 kWh battery pack at the time.Grizzly’s calculation of inflated revenues and income pertaining to NIO’s sale of 19,000 BaaS-related batteries to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021 is as follows:Grizzly's Computation of Inflated Revenue and Income Pertaining to Pulled Forward BaaS Sales (Grizzly Research)As of the nine months ended September 30, 2021, NIO had generated RMB 2,796 million in revenues from the sale of batteries to Weineng (full year 2021 revenues generated from Weineng: RMB 4,138 million, 11% of total NIO 2021 revenue). Based on 19,000 active BaaS subscribers, and ownership of 40,053 battery packs owned as reported by Weineng as of September 30, 2021, Grizzly estimates that only 47% of the RMB 2,796 million in revenues generated from the sale of goods to Weineng are related to “real” BaaS sales. Essentially, Grizzly claims only RMB 1,326 million of RMB 2,796 million in sales of goods to Weineng recognized on NIO’s income statement in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are related to real BaaS battery sales.The RMB 1,326 million pertaining to 19,000 battery packs sold to Weineng for the number of active BaaS subscribers at the time is effectively the “upfront” revenue recognized by NIO, which should have been recognized over a course of seven years instead based on the estimated performance obligation timeline discussed in earlier sections. Without Weineng, NIO would have instead had to recognize BaaS revenues related to the 19,000 subscribers over time, which is equivalent to RMB 179 million in the nine month period ending September 30, 2021. This essentially means NIO had allegedly pulled forward RMB 1,147 million in revenues related to BaaS sales in the nine months ending September 30, 2021.In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, NIO had reported total revenue of RMB 26,236 million and net losses of RMB 1,874 million. The RMB 1,147 million in pulled forward BaaS revenues represents 4% of total revenues recognized over the nine-month reporting period.To generate the “adjusted” net income that NIO would have reported had Weineng never existed, Grizzly had removed RMB 1,147 million in pulled forward revenues pertaining to BaaS sales directly from actual reported net losses of RMB 1,874 million. This accordingly yields adjusted net losses of RMB 3,021 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 at NIO, or a variance of 61%.Issue with Grizzly’s claim.In Grizzly’s calculation of adjusted net losses had BaaS revenue never been pulled forward at NIO via its affiliation with Weineng, the short-seller did not add back costs of sales that NIO would have recognized when it sold the battery packs to Weineng and recorded the related revenue.While profit margins on NIO’s battery pack sales to Weineng are not disclosed, Grizzly had used 20% as a proxy, which is “consistent with the margin of an entire vehicle [considering] batteries are a cost center for all vehicles”. Using the 20% profit margin proxy on 19,000 battery pack sales to Weineng totalling RMB 1,326 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, NIO would have recorded related cost of sales of RMB 1,060.9 million (i.e. 0.8% cost of revenues x RMB 1,326 million battery revenues recorded on the sale of 19,000 units to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021).When Grizzly removed/pulled forward BaaS revenues of RMB 1,147 million from NIO’s actual net losses of RMB 1,874 million reported in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, Grizzly should have also added back related cost of sales totalling RMB 917.6 million in determining the adjusted net income reported.Livy’s revised calculation of quantified impacts.Livy's Computation of Revenue and Income Variances Pertaining to NIO's Alleged Frontloading of BaaS Sales (Author)The above revised net income adjustment backs out alleged pulled forward BaaS revenues by NIO through its affiliation with Weineng from actual net losses reported by NIO in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The orange-highlighted cells represent the incremental cost of sales pertaining to pulled forward BaaS revenues that should have been added back to adjusted net income in order to represent a fair representation of NIO’s adjusted net losses for the nine months ending September 30, 2021 if Weineng never existed and the EV maker had to recognize BaaS revenues over time. This adjustment accordingly reduces the variance of 61% from Grizzly’s calculation of adjusted net losses, to 12% – a material difference that, like Grizzly is accusing NIO of doing, misleads investors on the matter discussed.2. Revenues from Oversupplied Batteries to WeinengGrizzly’s accusation.Based on NIO’s revenue recognition method on BaaS sales, the number of battery packs sold to Weineng should be equivalent to the number of vehicle buyers that have subscribed to BaaS at the time of purchase. Based on 19,000 active BaaS subscribers reported by Weineng as of September 30, 2021, it is easy to assume that NIO should have only sold 19,000 battery packs to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021 as well to comply with the EV maker’s revenue recognition method on BaaS sales outlined in its 2021 20F.However, Weineng had reported ownership of 40,053 battery packs as of September 30, 2021, which exceeds its active subscriber base of 19,000 by 21,053 units. As such, Grizzly has accused NIO of intentionally overselling battery packs to Weineng to inflate revenues.While the discrepancy is indeed a question for management, Grizzly had cited that there is no need for Weineng to hold that many additional battery packs, even for operational purposes. Grizzly had gone on to explain its field work done at NIO Power Swap stations to verify that there is no difference between BaaS battery packs owned by Weineng and battery packs used in swap stations owned by NIO. However, we believe the additional field work is a moot point, considering NIO Power Swap operations are not related to Weineng. Weineng only facilitates NIO’s BaaS battery lending business, and nothing else – Grizzly did not even have to go out of its way to check on NIO’s Power Swap stations and hold conversations with sales staff at NIO’s car centers.Livy’s response.While the number of battery packs owned by Weineng should essentially be equivalent to the number of active BaaS subscribers, there is a possibility that a total of 40,053 NIO vehicle sales between 2020 when BaaS was established and September 30, 2021 had subscribed to BaaS. Perhaps, as of reporting date on September 30, 2021, there were 21,053 BaaS subscribers that have halted monthly subscriptions, which is not surprising given the third quarter is not a typical driving season, and there is a possibility that these NIO vehicle owners did not need to use their vehicles during the period.Grizzly has also supported its claim that NIO oversupplied battery packs to Weineng to intentionally inflate revenues by saying that Weineng has no storage facility to store its 21,053 excess battery packs as of September 30, 2021. However, we do not find this surprising, as BaaS subscribers that have halted monthly subscriptions might be holding onto the emptied battery packs on consignment or have returned them to a NIO servicing center where NIO has held onto these Weineng-owned battery packs on consignment. The lack of battery pack storage facility owned by Weineng does not conclude that its ownership of the excess battery packs is fraudulent and made up.There can be many reasons why a discrepancy exists between the number of active BaaS subscribers and battery packs owned by Weineng at the end of a reporting period. The above are just two assumptions that could invalidate Grizzly’s accusation (which is also an assumption). The real answer to the discrepancy can only be explained by NIO and Weineng management.Grizzly’s calculation of quantified impacts.In determining the inflated revenue and earnings specific to the allegedly oversupplied battery packs from NIO to Weineng, Grizzly had performed the following calculations:Grizzly's Computation of Revenue and Net Income Variances Pertaining to Oversupplied Batteries (Grizzly Research)In deriving the inflated revenues related to the allegedly oversupplied battery packs, Grizzly had determined the percentage of battery packs owned by Weineng as of September 30, 2021 that were in excess to its active subscriber base as 53% (i.e. 21,053 excess battery packs, divided by 40,053 battery packs owned by Weineng as of September 30, 2021). The percentage was applied to total revenue recognized by NIO pertaining to the sale of battery packs to Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021, resulting in oversold battery revenues of RMB 1,470 million (i.e. 53% oversold batteries x RMB 2,796 million in related party revenues from Weineng recorded by NIO for the nine months ending September 30, 2021).In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, NIO had reported total revenue of RMB 26,236 million and net losses of RMB 1,874 million. The RMB 1,470 million in oversold battery revenue represents 6% of total NIO revenues recognized over the nine-month reporting period.Considering Grizzly’s 20% profit margin assumption on battery pack sales as discussed in earlier sections, the oversold battery packs to Weineng would have generated net income of RMB 294 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. As such, backing out RMB 294 million in overstated profits back to NIO’s actual reported net losses of RMB 1,874 million in the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021 would have yield adjusted net losses of RMB 2,168 million, representing a variance of 16%.We have no issues with this calculation performed by Grizzly, other than concerns over the short-seller’s claims that these 20,053 battery packs were intentionally “oversold” by NIO to Weineng to artificially boost revenues.3. Shifting Depreciation CostsGrizzly’s Accusations.Grizzly has accused NIO of indirectly shifting depreciation costs on the battery packs sold to Weineng, saving the EV maker north of RMB 336 million in depreciation expense on an annual basis.Specifically, Grizzly has assumed a 20% profit margin on NIO’s battery sales totalling RMB 2,796 million generated from Weineng in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. This represents battery assets valued at a cost basis of RMB 2.25 billion (i.e. 80% cost x RMB 2,796 in battery sales to Weineng, adjusted for minor rounding differences) removed from the EV maker’s balance sheet over the same period.Based on the five to eight years useful life attributable to equipment, including battery packs, used in NIO’s Power Swap business as disclosed in its 2021 20F, Grizzly has assumed an annual depreciation rate of about 15% on the battery packs sold to Weineng and removed from NIO’s balance sheet in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. This is consistent with the assumed BaaS revenue recognition timeline of about seven years as discussed in earlier sections. As such, Grizzly has accused NIO of avoiding depreciation costs of RMB 336 million (i.e. 15% battery depreciation rate x RMB 2,796 million in battery pack sales to Weineng) in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. The short-seller has also alluded to the RMB 336 million as a proxy for annual depreciation costs that NIO has avoided via its arrangement with Weineng.Issue with Grizzly’s claim.There are two folds to this situation:1. BaaS Business Model:Under the BaaS business model, the battery packs are considered equipment used in facilitating a service business. As such, the related battery packs would be subjected to depreciation over its useful life. In NIO’s case, if Weineng never existed and the EV maker consolidates its BaaS business, NIO would have had to recognized BaaS revenues pertaining to the 19,000 battery packs that Grizzly has attributed to the BaaS business over seven years, and accordingly record depreciation costs on these battery packs as well over their useful lives of about seven years. As mentioned in earlier sections, the related journal entries under the BaaS business model is as follows:Journal Entries for BaaS Business Model (Author)2. Battery Sales Business Model:in the current situation where NIO has sold the battery packs to Weineng, the battery packs are considered inventory to NIO. There is no depreciation costs related to inventory under GAAP-based accounting. Instead, NIO needs to record the costs of this inventory when they are removed from its balance sheet once the sale is recognized. As mentioned in earlier sections, the related journal entries under the battery sale business model is as follows:Journal Entries for Battery Sales Business Model (Author)Now, in NIO’s current actual situation, it is engaged in a battery sales business model under its performance obligation to Weineng, while Weineng is engaged in a BaaS business model under its performance obligation to BaaS subscribers.As discussed in our first challenge to Grizzly’s calculations pertaining to pulled forward revenue on BaaS battery sales to Weineng, NIO would have recorded costs of sales pertaining to the sold battery inventory when it recognized the related revenues. And this cost of sales number, based on a 20% profit margin assumption consistent with that used by Grizzly, would have accounted for the costs of battery inventory removed from NIO’s balance sheet upon completion of the sale to Weineng. This is consistent with Grizzly’s own calculation pertaining to profit margins on the battery packs that it alleges NIO had oversupplied to Weineng, which is inclusive of cost of sales related to written off inventory incurred by NIO upon recognition of related revenues.If NIO was engaged in the BaaS business model itself, without the intervention of Weineng, it would have recognized depreciation at a rate of 15% per year on the battery packs. However, under the upfront sale of related battery packs to Weineng, NIO would have recorded related cost of sales at an upfront rate of 80% as well. So basically, instead of recording revenues and depreciation costs on battery packs over time, NIO essentially recorded revenues and battery inventory costs upfront under its current arrangement with Weineng.Grizzly’s calculation of quantified impacts.Grizzly’s accusation that NIO has overstated revenues and earnings by 10% and 95%, respectively, through its affiliation with Weineng is calculated as follows:Grizzly's Computation of Total Revenue and Income Inflation (Grizzly Research)As discussed in earlier sections, NIO’s pulled forward BaaS revenues and inflated battery sales revenues via its affiliation with Weineng represent 4% and 6% of its total revenues, respectively, recognized in the nine months ending September 30, 2021. This represents the 10% in inflated NIO revenues as Grizzly has outlined in the above calculation.Livy’s revised calculation of quantified impacts.While we have yet to reconcile the RMB 1,777 million in total inflated net income that Grizzly has accused NIO of recognizing (please let us know in comments if you know), we believe the 95% variance identified by Grizzly is not a fair presentation of the quantified impact of its core short thesis.Our calculation of the quantified impact pertaining to Grizzly’s accusations that NIO has inflated revenue and earnings through (1) pulling forward BaaS sales, and (2) oversupplying batteries to Weineng, is as follows:Livy's Computation of Alleged Overstatements Related to Alleged Frontloading of BaaS Revenue (Author)Livy's Computation of Alleged Overstatements Pertaining to Alleged Overselling of Battery Supplies (Author)Livy's Computation of Alleged Revenue Overstatement (Author)Livy's Computation of Alleged Overstatement in Net Income (Author)Under Grizzly’s accusations of inflated revenue and earnings by NIO through its affiliation with Weineng, if found valid (which we remain skeptical of), NIO would have overstated net losses in the nine months ending September 30, 2021 by 28% instead of the 95% that Grizzly alleges – a material difference that again misleads investors on the estimated quantified impact pertaining to the accusations claimed by the short-seller. The net income variance of RMB 523 million ($78 million) found in our calculation is also immaterial (< 1%) based on NIO’s market value of $58.38 billion as of September 30, 2021 and NIO’s market value of approximately $35 billion today.Final ThoughtsAs discussed in the introduction of this analysis, Grizzly had also touched on things like NIO CEO Li’s association with fraudulent personnel, the pledge of NIO User Trust to UBS AG, and conflict of interests to further support its argument that NIO is engaged in fraudulent financial reporting. However, these are groundless allegations that have yet to be substantiated to infer Li is committing fraud via NIO’s operations. While investors should always exercise professional skepticism on publicly disclosed information in regulatory filings when making investment decisions, the same skepticism should also be placed on external claims – such as those by the short-seller, commentary by external sources, and/or even commentary herein – especially if they argue that correlation = causation (e.g. Grizzly’s method in inferring that fraud at NIO is substantiated given “dirt” it has dug up on Li’s past).While we agree that there are some good takeaways from the short-seller report that may require further clarification from management, it is important to recognize and acknowledge that a lot of it might also be misleading – or in the words of Grizzly, “exaggerated”. This is also consistent with NIO’s stock performance during Tuesday and Wednesday’s session following release of the short-seller report. The stock has largely moved in consistency with the ongoing market rout, and broad-based selloff across the EV sector, with no extreme deviation due to the negative headline from Grizzly, which indicates that market participants, especially significant shareholders in NIO, are still digesting the latest external allegations.At the end of the day, NIO remains one of the most viable EV businesses in the emerging sector, with continued demand for its vehicles to support further growth over the long-run. Unlike some of the upstarts in the increasingly competitive EV landscape that have been accused of fraud, such as Nikola (NKLA), Lordstown Motors (RIDE), and Faraday Future (FFIE), NIO already operates a global business with a substantiated vehicle order book to support the bulk of its top- and bottom-line expansion, which continues to support its positive valuation prospects ahead.This article was written by Livy Investment Research","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":435,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9059738512,"gmtCreate":1654428554336,"gmtModify":1676535446324,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103845292937490","idStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice information&nbsp;","listText":"Nice information&nbsp;","text":"Nice information","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9059738512","repostId":"1133091781","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133091781","pubTimestamp":1654390809,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133091781?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-05 09:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: What to Look Out for at the Upcoming WWDC 2022 Event","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133091781","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Upside of 32%.Turning now to the rest of the Street, where the average target clocks in at $186.45 and factors in 12-month gains of 28%.

Having decided not to bring a movie studio under the fold, Ives thinks Apple is keen to add more live sports to its roster of services. The company has already bought the rights for MLB Friday Night baseball package games for the next few years and along with Amazon, Ives says it is “widely viewed” in the industry the pair were in the final bidding for the NFL Sunday Ticket.This should be a multi-billion-dollar annual deal ($2.5 billion+) and a “landmark” for the company, with the package seen as the “crown jewel” for streaming live sports content. Should Apple win it, it will further strengthen its position in the streaming arms race,” one which has already been boosted by the Oscar win of CODA and success of other recent offerings (Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Severance).To this end, Ives reiterated an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating backed by a $200 price target. The implication for investors? Upside of 32%.Turning now to the rest of the Street, where the average target clocks in at $186.45 and factors in 12-month gains of 28%. Looking at the ratings, based on 21 Buys vs. 6 Holds, the analyst consensus rates the stock a Strong Buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9049112441,"gmtCreate":1655769163483,"gmtModify":1676535699621,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103845292937490","idStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9049112441","repostId":"1134066941","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1134066941","pubTimestamp":1655766811,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1134066941?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-21 07:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla: Battery May Create A Winner-Take-All Situation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1134066941","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryInvesting in nonlinear stocks like Tesla is all about anticipating nonlinear effects.And an e","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Investing in nonlinear stocks like Tesla is all about anticipating nonlinear effects.</li><li>And an effective way involves drawing analogies from other nonlinear situations, especially situations with a wide range and variety.</li><li>The thesis, therefore, is to analyze the similarities between the current EV battery situation and the QWERTY keyboards in the typewriter industry.</li><li>The lack of standardization and the convolution of many non-technical factors can potentially create a winner-take-all situation.</li></ul><p><b>Thesis</b></p><p>Investing in nonlinear stocks like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is all about anticipating nonlinear effects. Investors not only need to have the ability to see around the corner but also need to do so before most people. However, to say this is hard is simply a truism. And a &#34;trick&#34; I find effective in analyzing nonlinear situations is to draw analogies from another nonlinear situation. I, of course, did not invent this trick. Others have discussed it in length, and books have been written about it. A recent one that I found very readable is David Epstein&#39;s bestseller entitled<i>&#34;Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World&#34;</i>. Highly recommended.</p><p>Now, the art of drawing analogies lies in the <i>range</i>(hence the title of Epstein&#39;s book). Drawing analogies from similar situations does not help too much. We need to draw analogies from situations with <i>range</i>. Citing an example from his book, if you try to analyze the new competing landscape amid M&amp;As in a dynamic market, analyzing &#34;similar&#34; M&amp;As won&#39;t be too helpful. Most likely, there are no &#34;similar&#34; prior examples. It is more helpful to draw analogies from a completely different domain, for example, the power struggle of countries during a dynamic time (say Europe during the 1500s and 1600s).</p><p>Now, back to TSLA. The thesis is to analyze the current situation between its battery production and the QWERTY keyboards. Despite (or thanks to) the wide range of these two examples, you will see the central argument is that due to the lack of standardization, the battery issue potentially creates a winner-take-all situation in EV space, just like the QWERTY keyboard did in the keyboard space. Note that the thesis is not to argue if such potential is good or bad. Whether the dominance of the QWERTY keyboard is good or bad depends on your perspective and historical context. The thesis is just that there is such a potential and TSLA is one of the main contenders, thus creating an investment opportunity with enormous upside.</p><p><b>QWERTY Keyboard and EV Battery</b></p><p>A bit of background on the QWERTY keyboard first - in the off chance that some readers never paid attention to its history. The QWERTY design was designed for typewriters and became popular in 1878. It has remained in ubiquitous use since then. Before it became popular, there was a multitude of contemporary alternatives.

Compared to the earlier 2170 cells, each 4680 cell is about 5x large in volume and can, therefore, hold about 5x the energy of each 2170 cell. Regarding the 4680 cells, a common comment from readers to my other battery article involves a zero-sum counter-argument. Since each 4680 cell is 5x larger than 2170 cells in volume and only delivers 5x more energy, are they not the same? In terms of material cost, manufacturing cost, weight, et al?</p><p>My answer is no because of the second-order effects. Not all the components scale equally. For example, the weight of the steel casings is less in the 4680 which would allow greater amounts of active components (it has to do with the surface area/volume ratio, a detail best left for the comment section). Furthermore, 5x more energy means 5x fewer <i>numbers</i> of cells used per vehicle. When the number of cells decreases, the use of connectors, assemble difficulty, and logistics all decrease. In the end, the 4680 cells can deliver 6x the power (the distinction between energy and power is again best left for the comments) and boost the driving range by 16%.</p><p>Then there are even higher-order effects and non-technical effects (well, maybe still technical, just beyond the range of battery technicalities). For example, the in-house production of 4680 cells can lead to more streamlined battery-vehicle integration. Further down the road, battery-software integration would be the next logical step toward driving range optimization and even autonomous driving.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31b141b337b16ad62a5734d606f84b89\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"346\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>TSLA Investor Presentation</p><p><b>Final Thoughts and Risks</b></p><p>In my view, our EV problem is a battery problem.

Investors not only need to have the ability to see around the corner but also need to do so before most people. However, to say this is hard is simply a truism. And a \"trick\" I find effective in analyzing nonlinear situations is to draw analogies from another nonlinear situation. I, of course, did not invent this trick. Others have discussed it in length, and books have been written about it. A recent one that I found very readable is David Epstein's bestseller entitled\"Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World\". Highly recommended.Now, the art of drawing analogies lies in the range(hence the title of Epstein's book). Drawing analogies from similar situations does not help too much. We need to draw analogies from situations with range. Citing an example from his book, if you try to analyze the new competing landscape amid M&As in a dynamic market, analyzing \"similar\" M&As won't be too helpful. Most likely, there are no \"similar\" prior examples. It is more helpful to draw analogies from a completely different domain, for example, the power struggle of countries during a dynamic time (say Europe during the 1500s and 1600s).Now, back to TSLA. The thesis is to analyze the current situation between its battery production and the QWERTY keyboards. Despite (or thanks to) the wide range of these two examples, you will see the central argument is that due to the lack of standardization, the battery issue potentially creates a winner-take-all situation in EV space, just like the QWERTY keyboard did in the keyboard space. Note that the thesis is not to argue if such potential is good or bad. Whether the dominance of the QWERTY keyboard is good or bad depends on your perspective and historical context. The thesis is just that there is such a potential and TSLA is one of the main contenders, thus creating an investment opportunity with enormous upside.QWERTY Keyboard and EV BatteryA bit of background on the QWERTY keyboard first - in the off chance that some readers never paid attention to its history. The QWERTY design was designed for typewriters and became popular in 1878. It has remained in ubiquitous use since then. Before it became popular, there was a multitude of contemporary alternatives. But once it did, it dominated and became the only one left.Now, back again to TSLA and batteries. A few key similarities here. First, the battery issue now, just like the keyboard design in the 1870s, lacks standardization and there is a multitude of alternative designs. TSLA itself has used and is still using multiple cell designs (18650, 2170, and more recently 4680), and it is unlikely that the EV industry will reach a standardization agreement anytime soon.Second, the battery issue is crucial to the EV industry, just like the keyboard design is to the typewriter industry. We will elaborate more on the importance later.Third, the winner does not have to be the \"best\" design, just like in the typewriter case.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) on 16 November, 2021, titled Tesla&#39;s Ticking Time Bomb, I strongly advised selling Tesla. The price then was $1,054.73, so it is down 18%, somewhat more than the S&amp;P500&#39;s 12% decline. On the first of that same month, the price was $1,209.</p><p>TSLA hit a low of $626 on 24 May, 2022, suggesting many are having doubts, with the recent bounce perhaps being caused by believers in that sky-high $1580 forecast. To those I would recommend they check the past and see that the price had never gone above $100 until the beginning of last year, the price level I believe it will return to. It is down 27% YTD en route to that price.</p><p>This shall probably be my last article on Tesla, as I prefer to write on companies that will gain from world developments, and those do not benefit Tesla in the way they did in the past. That should have a significant negative effect on Tesla&#39;s future performance in both the car and stock markets, and I hope this article will be of value to those holding or considering buying into Tesla now. I would emphasize here that I am not a short seller or a trader. Tesla may well suit those that are, but it does not suit me. I am an investor and I write with only that in mind.</p><p>I will first touch on Tesla the car (and solar panel) maker and expand on the challenges it faces later.</p><p><b>Tesla The Car Maker</b></p><p>Tesla was founded by a visionary named Elon Musk. He saw an opportunity in electric cars, EVs, when other carmakers - and especially the U.S. and German manufacturers - were mostly focused on traditional internal combustion engines, ICEs.</p><p>He gained an almost cult-like following among retail investors and used the resultant share price explosion to raise over $13 billion in four stock offerings. Car-making is a capital-intensive industry, and such low capital costs gave it an advantage to get off the ground and into the big league.</p><p>Tesla also had <i>good profit margins</i>. Being a newcomer to car manufacturing, Tesla did not have legacy car maker problems such as restrictive unions and large company bureaucracies to add cost, plus EVs require many fewer components than ICEs. That makes Tesla&#39;s profit margins better - gross margins were 23% in fiscal 2020, compared with Ford&#39;s (F) 10%. <i>That gap is closing.</i> Tesla&#39;s superior margins over other carmakers are used by many believers to justify its high valuation, but - while they are good compared with many - they are not sufficiently better than the world&#39;s largest carmaker Toyota (TM,OTCPK:TOYOF) to do make the difference so extreme.</p><p><b>Toyota&#39;s P/E is 10.9. Tesla&#39;s P/E is 103.77 - nearly 10 times Toyota&#39;s!</b></p><p><b>Toyota&#39;s market cap $260bn. Tesla&#39;s $967bn - nearly 4 times Toyota&#39;s!</b></p><p>The latest gross margin (&#34;GM&#34;) figures show this:</p><p>Tesla&#39;s GM: 28%. Net: 10.5%. Ops: 14.6%</p><p>Toyota&#39;s GM: 18%. Net: 8.5%. Ops: 8%</p><p>That GM gap will close when Toyota (and other ICE makers) build more EVs because of the hugely lower amount of materials needed to build EV motors than ICEs, so either TM&#39;s P/E should shoot up or TSLA&#39;s crash down.</p><p>The latest results from Tesla&#39;s website were good, but the Gross Margin is declining.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d5fce89f9eada41780cfacd8d123c95\" tg-width=\"602\" tg-height=\"323\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bed17678a34727ef88451b33fd78453a\" tg-width=\"599\" tg-height=\"473\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e9b6e7adf9f631f7442c6692bd0a231\" tg-width=\"603\" tg-height=\"554\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Tesla.</p><p>If more financial information is required, it can be found here onTesla&#39;s website.</p><p><b>Cash and cash equivalents</b> are good, but billions will be needed to build the additional giant factories required, as might the many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.</p><p>I will now move on to those...</p><p>Problems - Internal <b>Self-Inflicted</b></p><p><b>There are many self-inflicted problems,</b> and many have yet to be resolved. The latest are claims by California&#39;s DMV that Tesla overstated its autopilot capabilities. ThisReutersarticle tells more about that. California is Tesla&#39;s largest U.S. market. The company sold 121,000 vehicles there in 2021, out of an estimated 352,000 sold nationwide. The DMV is seeking remedies that could include <b>suspending Tesla&#39;s license to sell vehicles in California</b> and requiring the company to make restitution to drivers.</p><p>Wikipedia has this list of <b>lawsuits</b> against Tesla.I know of no other reputable company that has stirred up so much controversy. The &#34;autopilot&#34; - the word used by Elon Musk to describe Tesla&#39;s driver assistance technology - fatality case could prove to be fatal or near-fatal for the whole company. Autoblog tells us more on that.</p><p>Currently, in a car accident in the U.S., the driver of one car sues the driver of the other car. It is only very seldom the car manufacturer is sued. For self-driving cars, however, things are likely to be different. There aren&#39;t other drivers to sue. There is just the car - and the company that made it. It won&#39;t take long for plaintiffs&#39; lawyers to start filing big lawsuits, even class actions, against the car and technology companies that made the cars and designed the self-driving technology. And, as we have seen in other such situations, <b>there could soon be billion-dollar judgments against Tesla.</b></p><p><b>Recall and Warranty costs.</b> In 2021, Tesla recalled 475,000 vehicles for safety issues in the U.S. alone. Barron&#39;s recently reported that, since January, 2022, Tesla has issued four recalls for almost 1.5 million vehicles worldwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That&#39;s roughly four times the 360,000 cars that Tesla delivered in the U.S. in 2021, and a half-million more, at least, than the 936,000 delivered worldwide. Global deliveries rose about 87%, compared with 2020. Those problems have to be fixed free of charge, plus many other problems require fixing under warranty.</p><p>They all require the vehicle to be returned to a dealer to be fixed. They <b>are a nuisance for the owners and costly for Tesla shareholders.</b></p><p><b>Musk&#39;s Antics.</b> I borrowed the word antic from Al Jazeera&#39;s report headed &#34;Musk&#39;s antics turn Tesla owners, new buyers against it.&#34;</p><p>Another antic was buying into <b>solar panels</b>. This is a U.S.-only market for Tesla. He got into solar by buying a troubled company founded by his cousins and on whose board he sat. That was paid for with Tesla shareholders&#39; money and led to a failed lawsuit by them, according to this Business Insider report. Its policy has been to offer <b>lowest price guarantees, which is suicidal</b> in such a commodity product market sector and - to reduce costs in the U.S. further - President Biden has waived tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A CNET report also claims that &#34;Tesla is skimping on customer service.&#34;This activity will be a constant drain on Tesla profits until closed!</p><p><b>Share sales.</b> <b>Musk&#39;s latest antic is to sell more Tesla shares</b> purportedly to prepare any payment he may have to pay for his Twitter bid. One has to question why did he sell now if he has confidence the stock price will be higher when the outcome of that case against him is known?! This SA News report headed &#34;Elon Musk backtracks on stock pledge&#34; tells more, including &#34;he now owns just under 15% of Tesla.&#34; One day he may be a total high-price dropout!</p><p><b>Musk&#39;s Aims.</b> As a visionary, he has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially.

That would give Tesla 75% of the entire world EV market!To achieve that requires several more huge factories to be built that are not yet past the initial planning stages nor even a decision made where they will be located!They will require vast sums of money as might many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.My share price target is around $100 by year-end. Some are more optimistic, with Citi giving Tesla a sell-rated forecast of $375 → $424. JP Morgan suggests $385. The price, as I write, is $864.Some have suggested a price of $1580, which should frighten any cautious investor away.Those wing doors will not get that Tesla off the ground, and new action against Elon Musk's autopilot claims might even stop them being driven manually by man - including Musk - in some places. An earlier action against Musk by the SEC resulted in him giving up his driving position as both Chairman and CEO.In my first article on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) on 16 November, 2021, titled Tesla's Ticking Time Bomb, I strongly advised selling Tesla. The price then was $1,054.73, so it is down 18%, somewhat more than the S&P500's 12% decline. On the first of that same month, the price was $1,209.TSLA hit a low of $626 on 24 May, 2022, suggesting many are having doubts, with the recent bounce perhaps being caused by believers in that sky-high $1580 forecast. To those I would recommend they check the past and see that the price had never gone above $100 until the beginning of last year, the price level I believe it will return to. It is down 27% YTD en route to that price.This shall probably be my last article on Tesla, as I prefer to write on companies that will gain from world developments, and those do not benefit Tesla in the way they did in the past. That should have a significant negative effect on Tesla's future performance in both the car and stock markets, and I hope this article will be of value to those holding or considering buying into Tesla now. I would emphasize here that I am not a short seller or a trader. Tesla may well suit those that are, but it does not suit me. I am an investor and I write with only that in mind.I will first touch on Tesla the car (and solar panel) maker and expand on the challenges it faces later.Tesla The Car MakerTesla was founded by a visionary named Elon Musk. He saw an opportunity in electric cars, EVs, when other carmakers - and especially the U.S. and German manufacturers - were mostly focused on traditional internal combustion engines, ICEs.He gained an almost cult-like following among retail investors and used the resultant share price explosion to raise over $13 billion in four stock offerings. Car-making is a capital-intensive industry, and such low capital costs gave it an advantage to get off the ground and into the big league.Tesla also had good profit margins. Being a newcomer to car manufacturing, Tesla did not have legacy car maker problems such as restrictive unions and large company bureaucracies to add cost, plus EVs require many fewer components than ICEs. That makes Tesla's profit margins better - gross margins were 23% in fiscal 2020, compared with Ford's (F) 10%. That gap is closing. Tesla's superior margins over other carmakers are used by many believers to justify its high valuation, but - while they are good compared with many - they are not sufficiently better than the world's largest carmaker Toyota (TM,OTCPK:TOYOF) to do make the difference so extreme.Toyota's P/E is 10.9. Tesla's P/E is 103.77 - nearly 10 times Toyota's!Toyota's market cap $260bn. Tesla's $967bn - nearly 4 times Toyota's!The latest gross margin (\"GM\") figures show this:Tesla's GM: 28%. Net: 10.5%. Ops: 14.6%Toyota's GM: 18%. Net: 8.5%. Ops: 8%That GM gap will close when Toyota (and other ICE makers) build more EVs because of the hugely lower amount of materials needed to build EV motors than ICEs, so either TM's P/E should shoot up or TSLA's crash down.The latest results from Tesla's website were good, but the Gross Margin is declining.Source: Tesla.If more financial information is required, it can be found here onTesla's website.Cash and cash equivalents are good, but billions will be needed to build the additional giant factories required, as might the many existing problems that remain unresolved with new ones still emerging.I will now move on to those...Problems - Internal Self-InflictedThere are many self-inflicted problems, and many have yet to be resolved. The latest are claims by California's DMV that Tesla overstated its autopilot capabilities. ThisReutersarticle tells more about that. California is Tesla's largest U.S. market. The company sold 121,000 vehicles there in 2021, out of an estimated 352,000 sold nationwide. The DMV is seeking remedies that could include suspending Tesla's license to sell vehicles in California and requiring the company to make restitution to drivers.Wikipedia has this list of lawsuits against Tesla.I know of no other reputable company that has stirred up so much controversy. The \"autopilot\" - the word used by Elon Musk to describe Tesla's driver assistance technology - fatality case could prove to be fatal or near-fatal for the whole company. Autoblog tells us more on that.Currently, in a car accident in the U.S., the driver of one car sues the driver of the other car. It is only very seldom the car manufacturer is sued. For self-driving cars, however, things are likely to be different. There aren't other drivers to sue. There is just the car - and the company that made it. It won't take long for plaintiffs' lawyers to start filing big lawsuits, even class actions, against the car and technology companies that made the cars and designed the self-driving technology. And, as we have seen in other such situations, there could soon be billion-dollar judgments against Tesla.Recall and Warranty costs. In 2021, Tesla recalled 475,000 vehicles for safety issues in the U.S. alone. Barron's recently reported that, since January, 2022, Tesla has issued four recalls for almost 1.5 million vehicles worldwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's roughly four times the 360,000 cars that Tesla delivered in the U.S. in 2021, and a half-million more, at least, than the 936,000 delivered worldwide. Global deliveries rose about 87%, compared with 2020. Those problems have to be fixed free of charge, plus many other problems require fixing under warranty.They all require the vehicle to be returned to a dealer to be fixed. They are a nuisance for the owners and costly for Tesla shareholders.Musk's Antics. I borrowed the word antic from Al Jazeera's report headed \"Musk's antics turn Tesla owners, new buyers against it.\"Another antic was buying into solar panels. This is a U.S.-only market for Tesla. He got into solar by buying a troubled company founded by his cousins and on whose board he sat. That was paid for with Tesla shareholders' money and led to a failed lawsuit by them, according to this Business Insider report. Its policy has been to offer lowest price guarantees, which is suicidal in such a commodity product market sector and - to reduce costs in the U.S. further - President Biden has waived tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A CNET report also claims that \"Tesla is skimping on customer service.\"This activity will be a constant drain on Tesla profits until closed!Share sales. Musk's latest antic is to sell more Tesla shares purportedly to prepare any payment he may have to pay for his Twitter bid. One has to question why did he sell now if he has confidence the stock price will be higher when the outcome of that case against him is known?! This SA News report headed \"Elon Musk backtracks on stock pledge\" tells more, including \"he now owns just under 15% of Tesla.\" One day he may be a total high-price dropout!Musk's Aims. As a visionary, he has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially. At Tesla's recent Cyber Round Up in Austin, Texas, Musk said the company would \"end up building at least 10 or 12 Gigafactories.\" Those Gigafactories cost Gigabucks to build. They also require years to build, and he needs them soon if he is to make 20 million cars per year by2030. That means completion before the end of 2029 - just over 7 years away. None have been started, nor even have locations been announced!In the unlikely event Tesla achieved that number, it would require another miracle to sell that many cars, because gaining 16.4% of the entire world car market - including ICEs - is probably impossible for any car maker.GlobeNewswiremade the 2030 estimate of total car market size in 2030 of 122.83 million units that I used to calculate that market share percentage. It makes worthwhile reading.It also looks rather stupid ifS&P Global's estimate of 26.8 million EV sales by 2030 proves correct. That would mean Tesla has to achieve 75% EV market share!Toyota is the world's largest carmaker and manufactures around 10 million cars per year. It has around 10% of the world market. It makes ICEs, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery EVs, and hydrogen cars. Tesla only makes battery EVs.It therefore takes a bit of a stretch of the imagination to see Tesla selling 20 million cars per year by 2030... if it can make them!Problems - ExternalLithium supplies. The Financial Times recently published this article headed \"Electric-car makers warned lithium supply crunch is set to last until 2030.\"Political and economic. The new Inflation Reduction Act could have a perverse and unintended negative result for Tesla. The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit will be renewed in January of 2023 and last until the end of 2032.

Mr. Powell, 69 years old, was tapped by President Donald Trump in 2018 to lead the central bank, six years after he won an appointment from President Barack Obama to its board of governors.</p><p>Mr. Powell, a former private-equity executive, was supported by lawmakers in both parties in an unusual show of broad political support for the central bank leader, who navigated the Fed&#39;s rapid response to a pandemic-driven economic emergency in 2020. &#34;Chair Powell is respected on both sides of the aisle for his steady leadership during the pandemic, &#34; Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.) said.</p><p>Six members who caucus with the Democrats and 13 Republicans voted against him.</p><p>Some lawmakers voting against him cited his handling of Fed policy as inflation rose. &#34;Powell and the rest of the Fed have failed the American people. We should not reward failure,&#34; Sen. Richard Shelby (R., Ala.) said in a statement.</p><p>Mr. Powell&#39;s description of price increases last year as temporary and decisions to initially withdraw stimulus slowly -- particularly after the Biden administration approved a $1.9 trillion spending bill -- has drawn criticism from economists on both sides of the aisle.</p><p>&#34;As part of restoring its credibility, the Fed needs to engage in some kind of after-action report that tries to analyze why they...were as wrong as they were in assessing the inflation risk and judging inflation to be transitory during 2021,&#34; former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said in an interview last week.</p><p>Since the end of last year, Mr. Powell has pivoted the Fed toward rapidly removing stimulus. The Fed has raised interest rates twice this year, most recently last week by a half percentage point -- the first such increase since 2000 -- to a range between 0.75% and 1%. Mr. Powell signaled further half-point increases are likely until the central bank is confident that inflation is set to slow.</p><p>&#34;If you had perfect hindsight...it probably would have been better for us to have raised rates sooner,&#34; Mr. Powell said in the radio interview on Thursday. &#34;We have to make decisions in real-time, based on what we know then.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Powell repeated his view that further half-point increases are likely until the central bank is confident that inflation is set to slow, but he said the Fed could consider larger rate rises if economic data call for such steps. Many investors took a comment he made last week to suggest that the Fed had ruled out raising rates by 0.75 percentage point.</p><p>Such a policy path makes it more likely that officials lift rates high enough to cause a recession. That is a different scenario from the more optimistic one sketched out in officials&#39; March policy projections, a so-called soft landing in which inflation falls but unemployment stays low and the economy keeps growing.</p><p>The war in Ukraine has complicated the Fed&#39;s ability to achieve a soft landing because wars are often inflationary and the West&#39;s sanctioning of Russia threatens to further aggravate commodity price increases and global supply-chain disruptions.</p><p>Consumer prices rose 6.6% in March from a year before, as measured by the Fed&#39;s preferred gauge, the Commerce Department&#39;s personal-consumption expenditures price index.</p><p>Meanwhile, the unemployment rate in April stood at 3.6%, near a half-century low.</p><p>&#34;The history is that every time we&#39;ve had inflation above 4% and unemployment below 4%, we&#39;ve had a recession in the next two years,&#34; said Mr. Summers. &#34;It&#39;s definitely odds off that we will have a soft landing.&#34;</p><p>Several times on Thursday, Mr. Powell said he was realistic about the challenges of raising rates to cool demand and bring down inflation without higher unemployment. &#34;It will be challenging. It won&#39;t be easy. No one here thinks that it will be easy,&#34; he said.</p><p>One concern is that the surge in prices becomes intense enough or lasts long enough to change consumers&#39; and businesses&#39; inflation psychology, making those expectations self-fulfilling. If workers anticipate a robust inflation rate in a year&#39;s time, they could seek higher wages now.</p><p>&#34;The one thing we really cannot do is fail to restore price stability,&#34; Mr. Powell said Thursday. &#34;The economy doesn&#39;t work for anyone unless you do that.&#34;</p><p>Last fall, some progressive Democrats heavily lobbied Mr. Biden to replace Mr. Powell with someone who would adhere to his easy-money postpandemic stimulus policies while taking a tougher approach to financial regulation, particularly by using bank supervision tools to shape climate change policy.</p><p>White House advisers saw Mr. Powell as someone who could more easily secure Senate confirmation. They further credited him with providing a steady hand during the pandemic and an earlier interval in which he deflected attacks from Mr. Trump, who wanted more Fed stimulus before the pandemic.</p><p>Mr. Powell&#39;s nomination was paired with the promotion of Fed governor Lael Brainard to serve as vice chairwoman. The Senate confirmed her to that position on April 26.</p><p>Mr. Biden has been able to further put his stamp on the central bank with the confirmation earlier this week of two other economists to fill vacancies on the Fed&#39;s Washington-based board of governors -- Lisa Cook of Michigan State University and Philip Jefferson of Davidson College.</p><p>With Mr. Powell&#39;s confirmation, Mr. Biden will have named four of six Fed governors to their current positions. Some analysts have speculated the new nominees might favor less-aggressive rate increases, but they are unlikely to slow the Fed from pursuing a faster pace of tightening so long as inflation remains well above the Fed&#39;s 2% target.</p><p>The president also nominated Michael Barr, a law professor at the University of Michigan, to serve as the Fed&#39;s vice chairman of bank supervision and fill a final vacancy on the seven-person board. His confirmation hearing is set for May 19.</p><p>Mr. Powell&#39;s first four-year term as chairman expired in early February and he has been serving in an acting capacity as &#34;chair pro tempore&#34; since then. The confirmation process for the Fed nominations stalled in February when Democrats refused to move Mr. Biden&#39;s picks individually and Republicans refused to vote on his initial selection for vice chairwoman of bank supervision, Sarah Bloom Raskin, who withdrew from consideration in March.</p><p>The political support that Mr. Powell cultivated proved valuable throughout his first term. He navigated a policy U-turn from raising rates to cutting them in 2019 while Mr. Trump threatened to fire the Fed leader for not providing easier monetary policy. Mr. Powell made clear in private that there were no circumstances, short of his death, under which he would voluntarily be forced from his job.</p><p>Later, he orchestrated one of the boldest economic policy responses since World War II, acting in concert with Congress and the U.S. Treasury. The Fed slashed interest rates to zero and then purchased trillions of dollars of government debt and offered to buy trillions more in loans and other assets to backstop credit markets.</p><p>At a congressional hearing in early March, Sen. John Kennedy (R., La.) lauded Mr. Powell&#39;s fast action when the pandemic hit in March 2020. &#34;Government shut down the private sector.... Markets are panicking. Everybody&#39;s looking at you to calm things down,&#34; he said. &#34;You did.&#34;</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>Senate Confirms Jerome Powell to Second Term Leading Federal Reserve</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\">\nSenate Confirms Jerome Powell to Second Term Leading Federal Reserve\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\">2022-05-13 07:20</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>The Senate confirmed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to a second four-year term that is shaping up to be every bit as trying as his first term as the central bank faces the highest inflation in 40 years.</p><p>Mr. Powell&#39;s nomination, approved Thursday on an 80-19 bipartisan vote, has been on track for months to win bipartisan approval despite unease over inflation and aggressive interest-rate increases that the Fed has urgently commenced to cool price pressures.</p><p>Separately, Mr. Powell said Thursday the Fed was prepared to act aggressively to bring down inflation to its 2% goal even if it created a short-term hit to the economy, his most explicit acknowledgment of the risks posed by a sequence of rapid rate rises.</p><p>&#34;The process of getting inflation down to 2% will also include some pain, but ultimately, the most painful thing would be if we were to fail to deal with it,&#34; he said on the Marketplace radio program. &#34;Ultimately, we&#39;d have to go through a much deeper downturn.&#34;</p><p>President Biden said last fall he would reappoint Mr. Powell, opting for continuity as the scale of the central bank&#39;s challenges in controlling inflation was becoming more evident.

Richard Shelby (R., Ala.) said in a statement.Mr. Powell's description of price increases last year as temporary and decisions to initially withdraw stimulus slowly -- particularly after the Biden administration approved a $1.9 trillion spending bill -- has drawn criticism from economists on both sides of the aisle.\"As part of restoring its credibility, the Fed needs to engage in some kind of after-action report that tries to analyze why they...were as wrong as they were in assessing the inflation risk and judging inflation to be transitory during 2021,\" former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said in an interview last week.Since the end of last year, Mr. Powell has pivoted the Fed toward rapidly removing stimulus. The Fed has raised interest rates twice this year, most recently last week by a half percentage point -- the first such increase since 2000 -- to a range between 0.75% and 1%. Mr. Powell signaled further half-point increases are likely until the central bank is confident that inflation is set to slow.\"If you had perfect hindsight...it probably would have been better for us to have raised rates sooner,\" Mr. Powell said in the radio interview on Thursday. \"We have to make decisions in real-time, based on what we know then.\"Mr. Powell repeated his view that further half-point increases are likely until the central bank is confident that inflation is set to slow, but he said the Fed could consider larger rate rises if economic data call for such steps. Many investors took a comment he made last week to suggest that the Fed had ruled out raising rates by 0.75 percentage point.Such a policy path makes it more likely that officials lift rates high enough to cause a recession. That is a different scenario from the more optimistic one sketched out in officials' March policy projections, a so-called soft landing in which inflation falls but unemployment stays low and the economy keeps growing.The war in Ukraine has complicated the Fed's ability to achieve a soft landing because wars are often inflationary and the West's sanctioning of Russia threatens to further aggravate commodity price increases and global supply-chain disruptions.Consumer prices rose 6.6% in March from a year before, as measured by the Fed's preferred gauge, the Commerce Department's personal-consumption expenditures price index.Meanwhile, the unemployment rate in April stood at 3.6%, near a half-century low.\"The history is that every time we've had inflation above 4% and unemployment below 4%, we've had a recession in the next two years,\" said Mr. Summers. \"It's definitely odds off that we will have a soft landing.\"Several times on Thursday, Mr. Powell said he was realistic about the challenges of raising rates to cool demand and bring down inflation without higher unemployment. \"It will be challenging. It won't be easy. No one here thinks that it will be easy,\" he said.One concern is that the surge in prices becomes intense enough or lasts long enough to change consumers' and businesses' inflation psychology, making those expectations self-fulfilling. If workers anticipate a robust inflation rate in a year's time, they could seek higher wages now.\"The one thing we really cannot do is fail to restore price stability,\" Mr. Powell said Thursday. \"The economy doesn't work for anyone unless you do that.\"Last fall, some progressive Democrats heavily lobbied Mr. Biden to replace Mr. Powell with someone who would adhere to his easy-money postpandemic stimulus policies while taking a tougher approach to financial regulation, particularly by using bank supervision tools to shape climate change policy.White House advisers saw Mr. Powell as someone who could more easily secure Senate confirmation. They further credited him with providing a steady hand during the pandemic and an earlier interval in which he deflected attacks from Mr. Trump, who wanted more Fed stimulus before the pandemic.Mr. Powell's nomination was paired with the promotion of Fed governor Lael Brainard to serve as vice chairwoman. The Senate confirmed her to that position on April 26.Mr. Biden has been able to further put his stamp on the central bank with the confirmation earlier this week of two other economists to fill vacancies on the Fed's Washington-based board of governors -- Lisa Cook of Michigan State University and Philip Jefferson of Davidson College.With Mr. Powell's confirmation, Mr. Biden will have named four of six Fed governors to their current positions. Some analysts have speculated the new nominees might favor less-aggressive rate increases, but they are unlikely to slow the Fed from pursuing a faster pace of tightening so long as inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target.The president also nominated Michael Barr, a law professor at the University of Michigan, to serve as the Fed's vice chairman of bank supervision and fill a final vacancy on the seven-person board. His confirmation hearing is set for May 19.Mr. Powell's first four-year term as chairman expired in early February and he has been serving in an acting capacity as \"chair pro tempore\" since then. The confirmation process for the Fed nominations stalled in February when Democrats refused to move Mr. Biden's picks individually and Republicans refused to vote on his initial selection for vice chairwoman of bank supervision, Sarah Bloom Raskin, who withdrew from consideration in March.The political support that Mr. Powell cultivated proved valuable throughout his first term. He navigated a policy U-turn from raising rates to cutting them in 2019 while Mr. Trump threatened to fire the Fed leader for not providing easier monetary policy. Mr. Powell made clear in private that there were no circumstances, short of his death, under which he would voluntarily be forced from his job.Later, he orchestrated one of the boldest economic policy responses since World War II, acting in concert with Congress and the U.S. Treasury. The Fed slashed interest rates to zero and then purchased trillions of dollars of government debt and offered to buy trillions more in loans and other assets to backstop credit markets.At a congressional hearing in early March, Sen. John Kennedy (R., La.) lauded Mr. Powell's fast action when the pandemic hit in March 2020. \"Government shut down the private sector.... Markets are panicking. Everybody's looking at you to calm things down,\" he said. \"You did.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":39,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9058675695,"gmtCreate":1654836349217,"gmtModify":1676535520444,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103845292937490","idStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9058675695","repostId":"2242334034","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2242334034","pubTimestamp":1654832716,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2242334034?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-10 11:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Buffett-Like Stocks to Buy on the Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2242334034","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The billionaire investor would likely approve of these investments.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>If you want to invest like Warren Buffett and be successful, then you need to pay close attention to a stock&#39;s fundamentals and its valuation.

HCA Healthcare</h2><p>HCA Healthcare operates more than 180 hospitals and roughly 2,300 other care sites, including surgery centers, in the U.S. and U.K. Shares of the healthcare stock are down around 20% this year, performing worse than the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and its 13% decline over the same period.</p><p>The catalyst behind the sell-off was the release of the company&#39;s latest earnings report in April, which sent the stock tumbling. HCA reduced its guidance for 2022, which included reducing its revenue forecast by $500 million. For the year, it expects diluted per-share earnings to be between $16.40 and $17.60 (vs. a previous forecast range of $18.40 to $19.20). The company&#39;s profits will come in around $5 billion, which will be more than 8% of revenue.</p><p>Those are still strong numbers for the business. And HCA&#39;s dividend, which pays $2.24 per share annually, is in no danger at all -- even with the trimmed forecast. The stock&#39;s yield of 1.1% is below the S&amp;P 500 average of 1.4%, but there&#39;s definitely room for it to grow. The company increased its dividend payments by 17% earlier this year, up from the $0.48 quarterly payment it was making in 2021.</p><p>Trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of less than 10, HCA is definitely an attractive option for value-oriented investors like Buffett.</p><h2>2. United Parcel Service</h2><p>Buffett&#39;s <b>Berkshire Hathaway </b>holds UPS in its portfolio today, but it&#39;s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the company&#39;s smallest investments. I&#39;d argue it warrants more of a position there. Buffett, after all, has long been a proponent of betting on America and the long-term success of the economy. A great way to do that is to bet on the success of a quick and efficient logistics company like UPS.</p><p>Shares of UPS haven&#39;t crashed this year, they&#39;ve merely gone along with the downward ride of the markets. The stock&#39;s 13% decline is in line with how the S&amp;P 500 has performed thus far. But it should be doing better than that due to its resiliency. In the first three months of the year, the company&#39;s sales remained strong at $24.4 billion and rose 6.4% year over year. UPS reported net income of $2.7 billion, which was 11% of revenue and remained impressive. Last year, it averaged a profit margin of 13%.</p><p>UPS trades at a P/E ratio of around 15, which is cheap when you consider the S&amp;P 500 index averages an earnings multiple of nearly 22. The low valuation and UPS&#39;s dividend yield of 3.3% makes this a fantastic stock to load up on today. Earlier this year, the company hiked its dividend by a whopping 49% in light of its strong results.</p><h2>3. Goldman Sachs</h2><p>Top investment bank Goldman Sachs was one of Buffett&#39;s holdings as recently as 2020, before Berkshire sold its stake in the business. Goldman&#39;s business is not in bad shape, and it has actually achieved incredible growth of late. In 2021, its net revenue of $59 billion marked a year-over-year increase of 33%. Net earnings of $21.6 billion were even more impressive, more than doubling in value as the company kept its costs contained while benefiting from a surge in investment banking revenue.</p><p>Through the first three months of 2022, the business remains strong with profits of nearly $4 billion accounting for more than 30% of its net revenue. Goldman&#39;s diluted per-share earnings of $10.76 for just the first quarter would be enough to pay for its dividend, which over the course of four quarters totals just $8 per share. While the bank has room for more increases, at 2.5%, the dividend yield already provides lots of potential recurring income for investors. Last year, Goldman hiked its quarterly dividend from $1.25 to $2.</p><p>Shares of the stock are down 17% this year and it looks like a great deal, trading at a P/E of 6 and right around its book value.</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 Buffett-Like Stocks to Buy on the Dip</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 Buffett-Like Stocks to Buy on the Dip\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-10 11:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/09/3-buffett-like-stocks-to-buy-on-the-dip/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you want to invest like Warren Buffett and be successful, then you need to pay close attention to a stock's fundamentals and its valuation.

Having decided not to bring a movie studio under the fold, Ives thinks Apple is keen to add more live sports to its roster of services. The company has already bought the rights for MLB Friday Night baseball package games for the next few years and along with Amazon, Ives says it is “widely viewed” in the industry the pair were in the final bidding for the NFL Sunday Ticket.This should be a multi-billion-dollar annual deal ($2.5 billion+) and a “landmark” for the company, with the package seen as the “crown jewel” for streaming live sports content. Should Apple win it, it will further strengthen its position in the streaming arms race,” one which has already been boosted by the Oscar win of CODA and success of other recent offerings (Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Severance).To this end, Ives reiterated an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating backed by a $200 price target. The implication for investors? Upside of 32%.Turning now to the rest of the Street, where the average target clocks in at $186.45 and factors in 12-month gains of 28%. Looking at the ratings, based on 21 Buys vs. 6 Holds, the analyst consensus rates the stock a Strong Buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9027008365,"gmtCreate":1653950744057,"gmtModify":1676535365185,"author":{"id":"4103845292937490","authorId":"4103845292937490","name":"TF105","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/970ff314f46a910a166b2a93d12f115a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4103845292937490","idStr":"4103845292937490"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ermm","listText":"Ermm","text":"Ermm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9027008365","repostId":"2239151510","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2239151510","pubTimestamp":1653921418,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2239151510?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-30 22:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Avoid This Week: GameStop, ChargePoint and Conn's","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2239151510","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These investments seem pretty vulnerable right now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>My &#34;three stocks to avoid&#34; column last week didn&#39;t pan out.
