Zuckerberg's move is a bet that the metaverse becomes a major force over the next decade, and he's not alone in thinking this concept has a future.</p><p>If the metaverse does develop into something as big as Zuckerberg thinks it will, both <b>Matterport</b> (NASDAQ:MTTR) and <b>Unity Software</b> (NYSE:U) stand to benefit immensely, making now a great time to take a closer look at possibly investing in these stocks. Both stocks are trading down more than 30% from their all-time highs set in 2021, and with the rapid growth of the metaverse and their respective industries, these two stocks have real potential for a nice bull run in 2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F659841%2Fbusinesspeople-walking-on-painted-up-going-graph-on-asphalt.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>1. Matterport</h2><p>Matterport is a sneaky metaverse play. The company sells 3D imaging technology that allows businesses to create "digital twins" of physical spaces to upload and analyze on the cloud. Matterport helps hospitality companies share images and give virtual tours of homes or rooms for guests. As the only player in the space that does this for dozens of industries ranging from hospitality to insurance, Matterport has gained over 439,000 customers.</p><p>This technology could be incredibly useful in spurring the growth of the metaverse. For individual users who want to bring an image of their favorite park or a part of their house to the metaverse, all they would have to do is take a 3D picture of it with Matterport. The company's technology is available on most smartphones, so doing this is extremely easy for users. If the metaverse becomes mainstream and billions of people use it, Matterport's business could explode.</p><p>Even without the metaverse, however, Matterport has great potential as an investment. Management projects it has a $240 billion market opportunity in its current industry. As the first mover and market leader in this 3D capture space, Matterport could grow rapidly. As of Sept. 30, the company was generated $111 million in annualized revenue, leaving an extremely large opportunity ahead of it. As the world becomes more digital and both consumers and companies want to do more in the cloud, Matterport's products could become more critical to business operations.</p><p>With all this potential, the business also comes with a high valuation and some stock price volatility. The company went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that was initially announced in February and finalized in mid-July. Since finalizing, shares are up about 11%, but they are also about 52% down from 52-week highs set in late November. Yet the company still trades at over 34 times its annualized revenue -- an extremely high multiple.</p><p>In 2022, shares could once again be on the rise if the metaverse continues gaining traction. For long-term investors willing to wait and see if the metaverse pans out, the rewards could be immense.</p><h2>2. Unity Software</h2><p>While Matterport could help build scenery and locations in the metaverse, Unity Software has the potential to provide the foundation for the companies creating the metaverse. The company currently offers game developers software to build, monetize, and operate their video games, regardless of platform, and adjusting the software to allow developers to build a metaverse shouldn't be much of a stretch. CEO John Riccitiello recently told analysts that Unity is working to have between 60% and 80% of metaverse content built using Unity's software.</p><p>Like Matterport, Unity has a robust business model even without the metaverse. The company is a leading game development platform, with around 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games being created with Unity's platform. The company has over 1.5 million active developers on its platform, and Unity helps with more than just developing games but also monetizing them. Monetization efforts include ads and in-app purchase capabilities, which developers buy for a subscription. This segment is the largest part of Unity, bringing in 65% of its $286 million in third-quarter revenue. The company is growing incredibly fast, with its top line growing 43% year over year in Q3 and its full-year guidance estimating 40% top-line growth year over year.</p><p>Unity's strong past success, continued fast growth, and future potential, have combined to make the stock somewhat expensive. Shares trade at 39 times sales, which is higher than other video game stocks like <b>Activision Blizzard</b>, which trades at six times sales.</p><p>The biggest risk for Unity involves its current lack of profits. The company lost $115 million in Q3, a hefty amount of money considering its Q3 revenue was just $286 million. However, this net loss decreased year over year from $145 million.

Zuckerberg's move is a bet that the metaverse becomes a major force over the next decade, and he's not alone in thinking this concept has a future.If the metaverse does develop into something as big as Zuckerberg thinks it will, both Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR) and Unity Software (NYSE:U) stand to benefit immensely, making now a great time to take a closer look at possibly investing in these stocks. Both stocks are trading down more than 30% from their all-time highs set in 2021, and with the rapid growth of the metaverse and their respective industries, these two stocks have real potential for a nice bull run in 2022.Image source: Getty Images.1. MatterportMatterport is a sneaky metaverse play. The company sells 3D imaging technology that allows businesses to create \"digital twins\" of physical spaces to upload and analyze on the cloud. Matterport helps hospitality companies share images and give virtual tours of homes or rooms for guests. As the only player in the space that does this for dozens of industries ranging from hospitality to insurance, Matterport has gained over 439,000 customers.This technology could be incredibly useful in spurring the growth of the metaverse. For individual users who want to bring an image of their favorite park or a part of their house to the metaverse, all they would have to do is take a 3D picture of it with Matterport. The company's technology is available on most smartphones, so doing this is extremely easy for users. If the metaverse becomes mainstream and billions of people use it, Matterport's business could explode.Even without the metaverse, however, Matterport has great potential as an investment. Management projects it has a $240 billion market opportunity in its current industry. As the first mover and market leader in this 3D capture space, Matterport could grow rapidly. As of Sept. 30, the company was generated $111 million in annualized revenue, leaving an extremely large opportunity ahead of it. As the world becomes more digital and both consumers and companies want to do more in the cloud, Matterport's products could become more critical to business operations.With all this potential, the business also comes with a high valuation and some stock price volatility. The company went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that was initially announced in February and finalized in mid-July. Since finalizing, shares are up about 11%, but they are also about 52% down from 52-week highs set in late November. Yet the company still trades at over 34 times its annualized revenue -- an extremely high multiple.In 2022, shares could once again be on the rise if the metaverse continues gaining traction. For long-term investors willing to wait and see if the metaverse pans out, the rewards could be immense.2. Unity SoftwareWhile Matterport could help build scenery and locations in the metaverse, Unity Software has the potential to provide the foundation for the companies creating the metaverse. The company currently offers game developers software to build, monetize, and operate their video games, regardless of platform, and adjusting the software to allow developers to build a metaverse shouldn't be much of a stretch. CEO John Riccitiello recently told analysts that Unity is working to have between 60% and 80% of metaverse content built using Unity's software.Like Matterport, Unity has a robust business model even without the metaverse. The company is a leading game development platform, with around 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games being created with Unity's platform. The company has over 1.5 million active developers on its platform, and Unity helps with more than just developing games but also monetizing them. Monetization efforts include ads and in-app purchase capabilities, which developers buy for a subscription. This segment is the largest part of Unity, bringing in 65% of its $286 million in third-quarter revenue. The company is growing incredibly fast, with its top line growing 43% year over year in Q3 and its full-year guidance estimating 40% top-line growth year over year.Unity's strong past success, continued fast growth, and future potential, have combined to make the stock somewhat expensive. Shares trade at 39 times sales, which is higher than other video game stocks like Activision Blizzard, which trades at six times sales.The biggest risk for Unity involves its current lack of profits. The company lost $115 million in Q3, a hefty amount of money considering its Q3 revenue was just $286 million. However, this net loss decreased year over year from $145 million. Another good sign is that the company is free cash flow-positive, going from $11 million in free cash flow in Q3 2020 to $35 million in Q3 2021.The stock is by no means cheap right now, but it is trading over 42% off its 52-week high. With companies that are executing well, there is rarely a time where shares are cheap, so now might be a good time to get in at a discount. With the massive opportunity coming from efforts to build out the metaverse, I think shares could rocket higher in 2022 and beyond.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":178,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9093127584,"gmtCreate":1643569450008,"gmtModify":1676533831487,"author":{"id":"4104448409102920","authorId":"4104448409102920","authorIdStr":"4104448409102920","name":"1c35be66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104448409102920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Glance] [Glance] ","listText":"[Glance] [Glance] ","text":"[Glance] [Glance]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9093127584","repostId":"1126756363","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126756363","pubTimestamp":1643433880,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126756363?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-29 13:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Metaverse Stocks to Buy Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126756363","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"With last year's direct listing of Roblox and Facebook's name change to Meta Platforms, the metavers","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>With last year's direct listing of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RBLX\"><b>Roblox</b></a> and Facebook's name change to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\"><b>Meta Platforms</b></a>, the metaverse took a few more steps into the limelight.

RobloxThe metaverse could have a wide variety of use cases across all industries, from gaming to manufacturing. But looking at the opportunity from the entertainment side, Roblox is well-positioned to be a leader. It ended November with 49 million daily active users that can access the platform from PCs with virtual reality equipment, game consoles, and mobile devices.Roblox makes money from a virtual currency (Robux) that is used to access new experiences and buy virtual items for personal avatars.

Investments by big brands are increasing its appeal and positioning Roblox to continue growing its base of users. Management's goal is to reach billions of users. Against this long runway of growth, the recent dip in the share price looks like a good buying opportunity.2. Meta PlatformsWith 2.9 billion monthly active users on Facebook, Meta Platforms is a no-brainer metaverse stock. It's got a war chest of cash to spend on consumer products, such as Oculus virtual reality products, not to mention data centers and other necessary infrastructure to bring its metaverse ambitions to life.Facebook has spent approximately $21 billion on data centers over the last decade to build a total of 18 in the U.S. and internationally, according to Goldman Sachs.

MicrosoftMicrosoft is another reasonably valued tech stock that is well positioned to benefit from the development of Web 3.0. With its growing Xbox gaming business, the company's investments in cloud infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, and the development of the HoloLens mixed-reality headset, the software giant has all the pieces in place to capitalize on this opportunity.HoloLens has been in development for many years.

Plus, if the pendingacquisition of Activision Blizzard is approved by regulators, it will significantly expand Xbox Game Studios' programming talent to build the 3D environments that defines the metaverse -- something the talented folks at Blizzard are pretty good at.Microsoft trades at a forward P/E of 32, which looks attractive against expectations for double-digit growth across its business over the next several years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":77,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9004030397,"gmtCreate":1642437886916,"gmtModify":1676533710684,"author":{"id":"4104448409102920","authorId":"4104448409102920","authorIdStr":"4104448409102920","name":"1c35be66","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4104448409102920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Not sustainable ","listText":"Not sustainable ","text":"Not sustainable","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9004030397","repostId":"2204077973","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2204077973","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":1642434750,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2204077973?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-17 23:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin investors dig in for long haul in 'staggering' shift","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2204077973","media":"Reuters","summary":"By Medha Singh and Lisa Pauline Mattackal Jan 17 (Reuters) - As bitcoin heads into 2022, a growing","content":"<html><body><p>By Medha Singh and Lisa Pauline Mattackal</p><p> Jan 17 (Reuters) - As bitcoin heads into 2022, a growing cohort of long-term investors is doubling down on its stashes of the cryptocurrency, hoping a December dip was merely a festive blip.</p><p> Some industry watchers point to the underlying stability of such long-term investments as potentially promising indicators for the capricious cryptocurrency.</p><p> Since last July, for example, the amount of bitcoin held in digital wallets with no outflows for more than five months has been steadily increasing, according to digital currency brokerage Genesis Trading.</p><p> In addition, the amount of the bitcoin held in \"illiquid\" wallets - which spend less than quarter of their inflows - is also rising, meaning fewer coin are being actively traded, it added, citing wallet data across several exchanges.</p><p> \"The number of bitcoins that haven't moved in over a year has been climbing since July,\" said Noelle Acheson, head of market insights at Genesis Trading. \"That's pretty staggering.\"</p><p> Many investors were nonetheless sent diving for cover in December when the world's most popular cryptocurrency sunk almost 20%, roughly the same as the second-biggest coin ether, with risk appetite hit by inflation fears and a quicker pace of interest rate hikes from the U.S. Federal Reserve.</p><p> While bitcoin and ether both posted gains last week - up 2.9% to $43,107 and up 6.3% to $3,350, respectively - they are still some way off their 2021 highs of $69,000 and $4,868</p><p> 'STRONG HANDS'</p><p> Many cryptocurrency experts caution that no <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> has been known to reliably predict bitcoin's characteristically wild price swings.

Zuckerberg's move is a bet that the metaverse becomes a major force over the next decade, and he's not alone in thinking this concept has a future.</p><p>If the metaverse does develop into something as big as Zuckerberg thinks it will, both <b>Matterport</b> (NASDAQ:MTTR) and <b>Unity Software</b> (NYSE:U) stand to benefit immensely, making now a great time to take a closer look at possibly investing in these stocks. Both stocks are trading down more than 30% from their all-time highs set in 2021, and with the rapid growth of the metaverse and their respective industries, these two stocks have real potential for a nice bull run in 2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F659841%2Fbusinesspeople-walking-on-painted-up-going-graph-on-asphalt.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>1. Matterport</h2><p>Matterport is a sneaky metaverse play. The company sells 3D imaging technology that allows businesses to create "digital twins" of physical spaces to upload and analyze on the cloud. Matterport helps hospitality companies share images and give virtual tours of homes or rooms for guests. As the only player in the space that does this for dozens of industries ranging from hospitality to insurance, Matterport has gained over 439,000 customers.</p><p>This technology could be incredibly useful in spurring the growth of the metaverse. For individual users who want to bring an image of their favorite park or a part of their house to the metaverse, all they would have to do is take a 3D picture of it with Matterport. The company's technology is available on most smartphones, so doing this is extremely easy for users. If the metaverse becomes mainstream and billions of people use it, Matterport's business could explode.</p><p>Even without the metaverse, however, Matterport has great potential as an investment. Management projects it has a $240 billion market opportunity in its current industry. As the first mover and market leader in this 3D capture space, Matterport could grow rapidly. As of Sept. 30, the company was generated $111 million in annualized revenue, leaving an extremely large opportunity ahead of it. As the world becomes more digital and both consumers and companies want to do more in the cloud, Matterport's products could become more critical to business operations.</p><p>With all this potential, the business also comes with a high valuation and some stock price volatility. The company went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that was initially announced in February and finalized in mid-July. Since finalizing, shares are up about 11%, but they are also about 52% down from 52-week highs set in late November. Yet the company still trades at over 34 times its annualized revenue -- an extremely high multiple.</p><p>In 2022, shares could once again be on the rise if the metaverse continues gaining traction. For long-term investors willing to wait and see if the metaverse pans out, the rewards could be immense.</p><h2>2. Unity Software</h2><p>While Matterport could help build scenery and locations in the metaverse, Unity Software has the potential to provide the foundation for the companies creating the metaverse. The company currently offers game developers software to build, monetize, and operate their video games, regardless of platform, and adjusting the software to allow developers to build a metaverse shouldn't be much of a stretch. CEO John Riccitiello recently told analysts that Unity is working to have between 60% and 80% of metaverse content built using Unity's software.</p><p>Like Matterport, Unity has a robust business model even without the metaverse. The company is a leading game development platform, with around 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games being created with Unity's platform. The company has over 1.5 million active developers on its platform, and Unity helps with more than just developing games but also monetizing them. Monetization efforts include ads and in-app purchase capabilities, which developers buy for a subscription. This segment is the largest part of Unity, bringing in 65% of its $286 million in third-quarter revenue. The company is growing incredibly fast, with its top line growing 43% year over year in Q3 and its full-year guidance estimating 40% top-line growth year over year.</p><p>Unity's strong past success, continued fast growth, and future potential, have combined to make the stock somewhat expensive. Shares trade at 39 times sales, which is higher than other video game stocks like <b>Activision Blizzard</b>, which trades at six times sales.</p><p>The biggest risk for Unity involves its current lack of profits. The company lost $115 million in Q3, a hefty amount of money considering its Q3 revenue was just $286 million. However, this net loss decreased year over year from $145 million.

Zuckerberg's move is a bet that the metaverse becomes a major force over the next decade, and he's not alone in thinking this concept has a future.If the metaverse does develop into something as big as Zuckerberg thinks it will, both Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR) and Unity Software (NYSE:U) stand to benefit immensely, making now a great time to take a closer look at possibly investing in these stocks. Both stocks are trading down more than 30% from their all-time highs set in 2021, and with the rapid growth of the metaverse and their respective industries, these two stocks have real potential for a nice bull run in 2022.Image source: Getty Images.1. MatterportMatterport is a sneaky metaverse play. The company sells 3D imaging technology that allows businesses to create \"digital twins\" of physical spaces to upload and analyze on the cloud. Matterport helps hospitality companies share images and give virtual tours of homes or rooms for guests. As the only player in the space that does this for dozens of industries ranging from hospitality to insurance, Matterport has gained over 439,000 customers.This technology could be incredibly useful in spurring the growth of the metaverse. For individual users who want to bring an image of their favorite park or a part of their house to the metaverse, all they would have to do is take a 3D picture of it with Matterport. The company's technology is available on most smartphones, so doing this is extremely easy for users. If the metaverse becomes mainstream and billions of people use it, Matterport's business could explode.Even without the metaverse, however, Matterport has great potential as an investment. Management projects it has a $240 billion market opportunity in its current industry. As the first mover and market leader in this 3D capture space, Matterport could grow rapidly. As of Sept. 30, the company was generated $111 million in annualized revenue, leaving an extremely large opportunity ahead of it. As the world becomes more digital and both consumers and companies want to do more in the cloud, Matterport's products could become more critical to business operations.With all this potential, the business also comes with a high valuation and some stock price volatility. The company went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that was initially announced in February and finalized in mid-July. Since finalizing, shares are up about 11%, but they are also about 52% down from 52-week highs set in late November. Yet the company still trades at over 34 times its annualized revenue -- an extremely high multiple.In 2022, shares could once again be on the rise if the metaverse continues gaining traction. For long-term investors willing to wait and see if the metaverse pans out, the rewards could be immense.2. Unity SoftwareWhile Matterport could help build scenery and locations in the metaverse, Unity Software has the potential to provide the foundation for the companies creating the metaverse. The company currently offers game developers software to build, monetize, and operate their video games, regardless of platform, and adjusting the software to allow developers to build a metaverse shouldn't be much of a stretch. CEO John Riccitiello recently told analysts that Unity is working to have between 60% and 80% of metaverse content built using Unity's software.Like Matterport, Unity has a robust business model even without the metaverse. The company is a leading game development platform, with around 71% of the top 1,000 mobile games being created with Unity's platform. The company has over 1.5 million active developers on its platform, and Unity helps with more than just developing games but also monetizing them. Monetization efforts include ads and in-app purchase capabilities, which developers buy for a subscription. This segment is the largest part of Unity, bringing in 65% of its $286 million in third-quarter revenue. The company is growing incredibly fast, with its top line growing 43% year over year in Q3 and its full-year guidance estimating 40% top-line growth year over year.Unity's strong past success, continued fast growth, and future potential, have combined to make the stock somewhat expensive. Shares trade at 39 times sales, which is higher than other video game stocks like Activision Blizzard, which trades at six times sales.The biggest risk for Unity involves its current lack of profits. The company lost $115 million in Q3, a hefty amount of money considering its Q3 revenue was just $286 million. However, this net loss decreased year over year from $145 million. Another good sign is that the company is free cash flow-positive, going from $11 million in free cash flow in Q3 2020 to $35 million in Q3 2021.The stock is by no means cheap right now, but it is trading over 42% off its 52-week high. With companies that are executing well, there is rarely a time where shares are cheap, so now might be a good time to get in at a discount. With the massive opportunity coming from efforts to build out the metaverse, I think shares could rocket higher in 2022 and beyond.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":178,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
