But in the short and medium term, for a variety of reasons, SE stock is likely to get little affection from the Street.</p><p>Moreover, despite the huge, recent decline of the shares, their valuation remains quite elevated.</p><p><b>Rapid Growth and a Positive Long-Term Outlook</b></p><p>Sea Limited’s three largest business – e-commerce, digital financial services, and video games – all appear to be doing very well.</p><p>In the third quarter, the gross orders of its e-commerce unit soared 123% year-over-year to $1.7 billion, while its gross market volume jumped 81% to $16.8 billion. In financial services, its total payment volume climbed 111% to $4.6 billion, while the number of its paying users soared 120% from a year ago.</p><p>The performance of Sea’s video game business was less impressive, but its quarterly active user base still rose 27% from a year ago to 729 million, while its bookings increased 29% to $1.2 billion and its EBITDA, excluding certain items, rose 22% to $715 million.</p><p>So, despite the challenges to all of these businesses and the difficult year-over-year comparisons created by the easing of the pandemic, the growth of all three ranged from quite respectable to tremendous.</p><p>Overall, Sea’s sales jumped 122% from last year,reaching $2.7 billion,while its gross profit surged 148% to $1 billion.</p><p>Moreover, there are multiple signs that the company has become very adept at expanding its e-commerce business to new markets. For example, the company has already had some success in Brazil, which is, of course, quite far away and very different from Sea’s home base in Southeast Asia.</p><p>During Sea’s Q3 earnings call in November, CEO Forrest Lit said, “More than 1 million local sellers in Brazil have registered with {Sea’s e-commerce website) since we started welcoming local sellers in mid-2020.”</p><p>Meanwhile, Sea’s e-commerce unit is continuing to move into new geographic markets, as it has recently expanded to Poland, France, Spain and India, Li reported.</p><p><b>Short-Run Issues</b></p><p>Obviously, the market is currently not very enchanted with tech in general and any tech businesses seen as benefiting from the pandemic in particular these days. Unfortunately for Sea, the company’s three main businesses are all in the latter category.</p><p>Two other characteristics that the Street does not like at all these days are lack of profitability and a high valuation. Sea has both of these characteristics as well.</p><p>In Q3, for example, its net loss came in at $425.26 million. While that loss was 34% better than the $571 million it shed during the same period a year earlier, the company still obviously lost a great deal of money.</p><p>On two positive notes, the company’s operating expenses dropped to $713 million in Q3 from $1.45 billion in the year-earlier period, while its EBITDA, excluding certain items, climbed to positive $120.4 million from a loss of $165.45 million.</p><p>Nevertheless, large investors are still likely to view Sea as an unprofitable enterprise.</p><p>And on the valuation front, SE stock is changing hands for nearly 15x Sea’s trailing 12-month revenue.

But in the short and medium term, for a variety of reasons, SE stock is likely to get little affection from the Street.Moreover, despite the huge, recent decline of the shares, their valuation remains quite elevated.Rapid Growth and a Positive Long-Term OutlookSea Limited’s three largest business – e-commerce, digital financial services, and video games – all appear to be doing very well.In the third quarter, the gross orders of its e-commerce unit soared 123% year-over-year to $1.7 billion, while its gross market volume jumped 81% to $16.8 billion. In financial services, its total payment volume climbed 111% to $4.6 billion, while the number of its paying users soared 120% from a year ago.The performance of Sea’s video game business was less impressive, but its quarterly active user base still rose 27% from a year ago to 729 million, while its bookings increased 29% to $1.2 billion and its EBITDA, excluding certain items, rose 22% to $715 million.So, despite the challenges to all of these businesses and the difficult year-over-year comparisons created by the easing of the pandemic, the growth of all three ranged from quite respectable to tremendous.Overall, Sea’s sales jumped 122% from last year,reaching $2.7 billion,while its gross profit surged 148% to $1 billion.Moreover, there are multiple signs that the company has become very adept at expanding its e-commerce business to new markets. For example, the company has already had some success in Brazil, which is, of course, quite far away and very different from Sea’s home base in Southeast Asia.During Sea’s Q3 earnings call in November, CEO Forrest Lit said, “More than 1 million local sellers in Brazil have registered with {Sea’s e-commerce website) since we started welcoming local sellers in mid-2020.”Meanwhile, Sea’s e-commerce unit is continuing to move into new geographic markets, as it has recently expanded to Poland, France, Spain and India, Li reported.Short-Run IssuesObviously, the market is currently not very enchanted with tech in general and any tech businesses seen as benefiting from the pandemic in particular these days. Unfortunately for Sea, the company’s three main businesses are all in the latter category.Two other characteristics that the Street does not like at all these days are lack of profitability and a high valuation. Sea has both of these characteristics as well.In Q3, for example, its net loss came in at $425.26 million. While that loss was 34% better than the $571 million it shed during the same period a year earlier, the company still obviously lost a great deal of money.On two positive notes, the company’s operating expenses dropped to $713 million in Q3 from $1.45 billion in the year-earlier period, while its EBITDA, excluding certain items, climbed to positive $120.4 million from a loss of $165.45 million.Nevertheless, large investors are still likely to view Sea as an unprofitable enterprise.And on the valuation front, SE stock is changing hands for nearly 15x Sea’s trailing 12-month revenue. That’s way down from the stock’s valuation of 23.6x trailing sales as of Sept. 30, but it’s still a very high price to pay for the shares.The Bottom Line on SE StockSea is rapidly growing and has tremendous long-term potential. But as shown by the fact that its shares tumbled by 33% in the last month, it’s not a good stock to buy in the current market.As a result, rather than try to catch this falling knife, investors should wait for the market’s attitude towards names like SE stock to improve before taking a bullish position in it. Those who follow that advice will almost certainly get a better price and sleep more easily at night than those who don’t.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007400467,"gmtCreate":1642979864246,"gmtModify":1676533760652,"author":{"id":"4103973475975270","authorId":"4103973475975270","name":"Alvin Sim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103973475975270","authorIdStr":"4103973475975270"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Be&nbsp;conservative and cost averaging should be the way to go.&nbsp;","listText":"Be&nbsp;conservative and cost averaging should be the way to go.&nbsp;","text":"Be conservative and cost averaging should be the way to go.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007400467","repostId":"1106250133","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1106250133","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1642977542,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106250133?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-24 06:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Visa, and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106250133","media":"Barrons","summary":"It will be a packed week offourth-quarterearnings releases, with more than 100S&P 500companies scheduled to report.IBMandHalliburtonare Monday’s highlights, followed byMicrosoft,Verizon Communications","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It will be a packed week of fourth-quarter earnings releases, with more than 100 S&amp;P 500 companies scheduled to report. IBM and Halliburton are Monday’s highlights, followed by Microsoft, Verizon Communications, American Express, General Electric, Johnson &amp; Johnson, and Lockheed Martin on Tuesday.</p><p>Tesla, AT&amp;T, Intel, and Boeing report on Wednesday.

Let's take a closer look at both.1. Costco knows how to grow and retain membersOne of the reasons investors have been talking so much about Costco stock is because the company has done a fantastic job of growing and retaining those members. The company ended fiscal 2021 with 61.7 million paid households -- an increase of 13% from just two years earlier.Costco's membership growth is off to a strong start in fiscal 2022 as well, with the company adding another 800,000 members in the first quarter (reported on Dec. 9).Just as important to Costco's membership growth is the company's ability to retain its members. Membership retention has been about 90% for many years, and in the most recent quarter membership renewals in the U.S. and Canada were a very impressive 91.6%.Costco says its retention rate is benefiting from an increase of its executive memberships -- which renew at a higher rate than other memberships -- and because many members have opted to have their memberships automatically renew.2. Costco has been a great pandemic playAnother reason Costco's stock has got investors talking is because it's been a great investment, even during the pandemic. Since January 2020, Costco's stock has put up returns of 93%, compared to the S&P 500's 48% gains.Costco's share-price spike has come as it has put up some very impressive sales figures. Costco's comparable sales jumped 15% in its U.S. stores and popped 19% at its international locations in fiscal 2021.Additionally, the company's fiscal 2021 net income soared 25% to $5 billion.Why all the growth? Because as people spent more time at home over the past two years, some of them have relied on Costco for their household shopping needs -- for everything from desks to diapers.During the pandemic -- and even with high inflation right now-- members still view Costco as great place to stock up on essentials.A good bet in good times and badThe great news for Costco investors is that even when the pandemic is in the rear view, the company still has lots of potential to continue growing.Costco's business still performs well when the economy is strong and inflation is low, when people are more apt to spend money on big-ticket items like big-screen TVs.All of this means that while investors are talking about Costco's stock right now because it has benefited from the pandemic, there's no indication the company is slowing down anytime soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":365,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9001425159,"gmtCreate":1641306728082,"gmtModify":1676533595397,"author":{"id":"4103973475975270","authorId":"4103973475975270","name":"Alvin Sim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103973475975270","authorIdStr":"4103973475975270"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Eyeball !","listText":"Eyeball !","text":"Eyeball !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9001425159","repostId":"2200040180","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2200040180","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1641305894,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2200040180?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-04 22:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Is Everyone Talking About Costco Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2200040180","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The company is rapidly gaining members and has been a strong pandemic play.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Costco Wholesale</b> (NASDAQ:COST) has been a fantastic long-term investment.

Over the past decade, the company's share price gains have more than doubled the S&P 500's returns.More recently, Costco has caught investors' attention for two important reasons: Its stock has been a great pandemic play, and the company has continued to add new members quickly. Let's take a closer look at both.1. Costco knows how to grow and retain membersOne of the reasons investors have been talking so much about Costco stock is because the company has done a fantastic job of growing and retaining those members. The company ended fiscal 2021 with 61.7 million paid households -- an increase of 13% from just two years earlier.Costco's membership growth is off to a strong start in fiscal 2022 as well, with the company adding another 800,000 members in the first quarter (reported on Dec. 9).Just as important to Costco's membership growth is the company's ability to retain its members. Membership retention has been about 90% for many years, and in the most recent quarter membership renewals in the U.S. and Canada were a very impressive 91.6%.Costco says its retention rate is benefiting from an increase of its executive memberships -- which renew at a higher rate than other memberships -- and because many members have opted to have their memberships automatically renew.2. Costco has been a great pandemic playAnother reason Costco's stock has got investors talking is because it's been a great investment, even during the pandemic. Since January 2020, Costco's stock has put up returns of 93%, compared to the S&P 500's 48% gains.Costco's share-price spike has come as it has put up some very impressive sales figures. Costco's comparable sales jumped 15% in its U.S. stores and popped 19% at its international locations in fiscal 2021.Additionally, the company's fiscal 2021 net income soared 25% to $5 billion.Why all the growth? Because as people spent more time at home over the past two years, some of them have relied on Costco for their household shopping needs -- for everything from desks to diapers.During the pandemic -- and even with high inflation right now-- members still view Costco as great place to stock up on essentials.A good bet in good times and badThe great news for Costco investors is that even when the pandemic is in the rear view, the company still has lots of potential to continue growing.Costco's business still performs well when the economy is strong and inflation is low, when people are more apt to spend money on big-ticket items like big-screen TVs.All of this means that while investors are talking about Costco's stock right now because it has benefited from the pandemic, there's no indication the company is slowing down anytime soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":365,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9030928585,"gmtCreate":1645612953088,"gmtModify":1676534045362,"author":{"id":"4103973475975270","authorId":"4103973475975270","name":"Alvin Sim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103973475975270","authorIdStr":"4103973475975270"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Meditate 🙏🏼","listText":"Meditate 🙏🏼","text":"Meditate 🙏🏼","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9030928585","repostId":"1100075934","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":357,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9007400467,"gmtCreate":1642979864246,"gmtModify":1676533760652,"author":{"id":"4103973475975270","authorId":"4103973475975270","name":"Alvin Sim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4103973475975270","authorIdStr":"4103973475975270"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Be&nbsp;conservative and cost averaging should be the way to go.&nbsp;","listText":"Be&nbsp;conservative and cost averaging should be the way to go.&nbsp;","text":"Be conservative and cost averaging should be the way to go.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9007400467","repostId":"1106250133","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1106250133","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1642977542,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106250133?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-24 06:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Visa, and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106250133","media":"Barrons","summary":"It will be a packed week offourth-quarterearnings releases, with more than 100S&P 500companies scheduled to report.IBMandHalliburtonare Monday’s highlights, followed byMicrosoft,Verizon Communications","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It will be a packed week of fourth-quarter earnings releases, with more than 100 S&amp;P 500 companies scheduled to report. IBM and Halliburton are Monday’s highlights, followed by Microsoft, Verizon Communications, American Express, General Electric, Johnson &amp; Johnson, and Lockheed Martin on Tuesday.</p><p>Tesla, AT&amp;T, Intel, and Boeing report on Wednesday.
