The day leading up to this verdict has been difficult for some investors. Specifically, today began with many tech stocks falling, bracing for bad news from the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC). However, the tides have since changed; many of tech’s biggest names rebounded into market close.</p><p>Of course, the sector has been under a lot of scrutiny from experts lately. When <b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>) reported disappointing earnings recently, it sparked discussion of whether the FAANG era was coming to an end. For anyone unaware, FAANG is an acronym referring to five of the biggest tech stocks: <b>Meta Platforms</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>FB</u></b>),<b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>), <b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>), Netflix and <b>Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>).</p><p>This morning, AAPL, AMZN, FB and GOOGL all began the day by dipping. This was expected, given the bearish energy swirling around high-growth stocks. Close to mid-day, however, they each picked up positive momentum. AMZN stock closed the day up a little over 1%. Meanwhile, Apple and Alphabet both closed up by more than 4% while Meta closed up more than 5%.</p><p>Let’s take a closer look at what today’s news means for markets.</p><p>What’s Happening with Tech Stocks?</p><p>What can investors expect from today’s FOMC meeting? Simply put, interest rates have been raised by half a percentage point. As<i>Barron’s</i>reports, this signals the start of a “double-barreled push by the central bank to rein in inflation and cool the economy.”</p><p>Of course, the more appropriate question might be about what this means for tech stocks. When interest rates were raised earlier in the year, experts speculated that it could constrain high-growth names, citing the tech sector as an example. In late January 2022,<i>CNBC</i> reported the following:</p><blockquote>“Strategists expect the adjustment to higher yields to result in stock market volatility and lower valuations for growth and tech stocks.”</blockquote><p>If that happens again, it will certainly shake investor confidence in tech stocks. For the moment, though, it seems the sector is determined to not let that happen. These names have rallied in the face of an important news announcement that could have easily sent shares down.</p><p>Looking forward, more interest rate hikes are likely coming. Per<i>Barron’s</i>, the FOMC “anticipates ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate.”</p><p>What It Means</p><p>While the future is uncertain, further rate hikes remain likely. Wall Street hates uncertainty, but it can’t hate what it saw from tech stocks today.</p><p>Yes, rate hikes are coming. But that doesn’t mean they will automatically push high-growth sectors down.

The day leading up to this verdict has been difficult for some investors. Specifically, today began with many tech stocks falling, bracing for bad news from the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC). However, the tides have since changed; many of tech’s biggest names rebounded into market close.Of course, the sector has been under a lot of scrutiny from experts lately. When Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX) reported disappointing earnings recently, it sparked discussion of whether the FAANG era was coming to an end. For anyone unaware, FAANG is an acronym referring to five of the biggest tech stocks: Meta Platforms(NASDAQ:FB),Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), Netflix and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG).This morning, AAPL, AMZN, FB and GOOGL all began the day by dipping. This was expected, given the bearish energy swirling around high-growth stocks. Close to mid-day, however, they each picked up positive momentum. AMZN stock closed the day up a little over 1%. Meanwhile, Apple and Alphabet both closed up by more than 4% while Meta closed up more than 5%.Let’s take a closer look at what today’s news means for markets.What’s Happening with Tech Stocks?What can investors expect from today’s FOMC meeting? Simply put, interest rates have been raised by half a percentage point. AsBarron’sreports, this signals the start of a “double-barreled push by the central bank to rein in inflation and cool the economy.”Of course, the more appropriate question might be about what this means for tech stocks. When interest rates were raised earlier in the year, experts speculated that it could constrain high-growth names, citing the tech sector as an example. In late January 2022,CNBC reported the following:“Strategists expect the adjustment to higher yields to result in stock market volatility and lower valuations for growth and tech stocks.”If that happens again, it will certainly shake investor confidence in tech stocks. For the moment, though, it seems the sector is determined to not let that happen. These names have rallied in the face of an important news announcement that could have easily sent shares down.Looking forward, more interest rate hikes are likely coming. PerBarron’s, the FOMC “anticipates ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate.”What It MeansWhile the future is uncertain, further rate hikes remain likely. Wall Street hates uncertainty, but it can’t hate what it saw from tech stocks today.Yes, rate hikes are coming. But that doesn’t mean they will automatically push high-growth sectors down. The last time hike fears were high,InvestorPlace analyst Luke Lango reminded investors that the phenomenon can actually lead to significant opportunities for high-growth picks.If today’s performance is any indication, investors may be about to see something similar play out.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":459,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9069372041,"gmtCreate":1651242885290,"gmtModify":1676534876888,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/9069372041","repostId":"1199070862","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1199070862","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1651241437,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199070862?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-29 22:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea and Grab Stocks Jumped More Than 7% in Morning Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199070862","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Sea and Grab stocks jumped more than 7% in morning trading.TWO Singapore-based consortia are among o","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Sea and Grab stocks jumped more than 7% in morning trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/627c4580c9465c7297525b33d5887d70\" tg-width=\"406\" tg-height=\"109\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>TWO Singapore-based consortia are among one of the 5 winners that bagged Malaysia’s digital bank licences.</p><p>According to Bank Negara Malaysia on Apr 29, a consortium led by GXS Bank and Kuok Brothers, and another consortium led by Sea Limited and YTL Digital Capital, were among the 5 winners.</p><p>GXS Bank is a Grab-Singtel consortium, while the New York Stock Exchange-listed Sea Limited is the parent company of e-commerce platform Shopee.

His Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) topped expectations with its quarterly results, sparking a rally in its stock. AT&T (T) also benefited from the release of its financial figures, rising in the wake of better-than-expected quarterly profit. Alcoa (AA) moved in the other direction on earnings news, losing ground on disappointing revenues. Elsewhere in the market, Netflix (NFLX) continued to fall in pre-market action, extending its post-earnings drop. As the stock continued its free fall, high-profile hedge fund manager Bill Ackman disclosed that he had dropped his holdings in the streaming video service. Gainers Tesla (TSLA) rose in pre-market trading after beating expectations with its latest earnings report. Despite supply chain bottlenecks and COVID-related production limitations in China, Elon Musk's EV maker easily beat expectations on its bottom line, with revenue that rose 81% from last year to reach $18.76B. TSLA also reported an increase in automotive gross margin and said it produced more than 305K vehicles during the quarter. Bolstered by the earnings news, the stock climbed more than 7% in premarket action. Earnings news also prompted buying interest in AT&T (T). The company issued a mixed report, beating expectations on its profit figure despite disappointing revenue. Even with a top-line figure that fell 13% from last year, investors took heart from the firm's postpaid phone subscribers, which rose 691K during the quarter. Shares rose about 1% before the opening bell. Decliners Netflix (NFLX) took another step down in Thursday's pre-market trading, falling about 4%. This added to a 35% plunge that took place during the previous session, as investors fled the stock in the wake of a disastrous earnings report. Famed investor Bill Ackman was among the shareholders who walked away from NFLX after the streaming service said it lost subscribers during the latest quarter. In a letter to investors, the Pershing Square boss revealed that the firm had dumped its sizable NFLX stake, taking a $435M loss. Alcoa (AA) saw weakness in pre-market trading as well. The aluminum producer exceeded projections with its adjusted earnings but its revenue figure fell short. The company also said aluminum production fell 9% in Q1. Based on the earnings news, shares dropped about 5% before the opening bell.

However, it is still far behind most competitors like Disney (DIS), Netflix (NFLX), HBO (WBD), Amazon (AMZN), and others. According to Variety, Apple had mentioned that it has less than 20 million paying customers in US and Canada in the last quarter which allowed the company to pay discounted rates to its production crew. Another estimate mentioned by Observer is 8.1 million paid subscribers in US. These are abysmal numbers when compared to HBO and Disney which were launched after Apple TV+. Even with the lowest subscription rate of $4.99/ month in the industry, Apple could find it difficult to reach a sizable number of paid subscribers within TV+ over the next few years.</p><p>The churn rate for TV+ is one of the highest in the industry. This limits the ability of the company to gain a loyal subscriber base and use its TV+ subscription as an anchor service to promote other services and products. The streaming video business is a money pit that requires billions of dollars in annual content investment. It is likely that Apple's content budget will exceed $100 billion during this decade.

The company has delivered some Emmy winning shows and we still do not see any major uptick in subscriber base.

Amazon spent $11 billion on original content in 2020, $13 billion in 2021 and could easily ramp it up to over $20 billion in the next few years. This makes Apple's investment look paltry even though the company is spending a big chunk of its profits on this service.</p><p>It should not be a surprise if Apple ends up spending over $100 billion in the streaming business in this decade. Even at this investment rate, it would be at the fourth or fifth spot within this industry in terms of investment. This shows the amount of money that is swirling within the streaming video space. Economies of scale work very well within this industry. If Netflix decides to invest another billion on a new series, the cost will be distributed among more than 200 million subscribers. However, if Apple decides to spend a billion dollars on a new program, it will be distributed among less than 20 million subscribers who pay lower subscription costs and have a higher churn rate.</p><p>Lack of anchor service</p><p>Apple does not have a membership like Amazon Prime which can be used to subsidize investment in the streaming business. The retention rate of Amazon Prime members is very high which allows the company to divert funds towards other subscription services like music and streaming video. A lack of anchor service will hurt Apple's potential to gain new subscribers who can be provided a strong value proposition in this service.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab1d704399bc7019ec98710580113491\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"69\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Company filings</p><p>Figure 2: Amazon's subscription revenue is over $30 billion in trailing twelve months. Source: Company Filings</p><p>The subscription segment of Amazon has been growing at a strong rate over the last few quarters with annualized revenue rate of $30 billion in the trailing twelve months. Amazon has an anchor service due to Prime membership. It is also doing very well in Echo products and music streaming where it competes directly with Apple. Rapid increase in subscription revenue should allow Amazon to divert more revenue towards streaming video. This will make Amazon one of the biggest competitors for Apple in a number of services. Lack of anchor service by Apple will be the biggest headwind for the company within its subscription business.</p><p>Impact on earnings and stock</p><p>Apple is trying to move away from being labeled a products company to a more service-oriented company. It would be very important for the company to build a strong subscription business to deliver Services growth. Within the subscription business, Apple TV+ plays a central role for the company. Wall Street has given Apple a lot of time to grow its streaming video and subscription business. However, if we continue to find reports of a very low subscriber base, high churn rate, and massive investments then the stock could start showing bearish sentiment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30ba72c98c5056d661d0caeb2e9d042e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"301\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>YCharts</p><p>Figure 3: Comparison of price and P/S ratio of Apple, Netflix and Disney. Source: YCharts</p><p>We have already seen massive correction in Netflix and Disney stock when they reported fewer net subscription additions. Apple's streaming business forms a smaller portion of the total valuation for the company. However, Wall Street would still be interested in knowing the improvement in subscriptions within this segment, especially after spending tens of billions of dollars. TV+ could take up investment of 10% to 20% of the net income of Apple over the next few years. This will be a big drag on EPS growth and future estimates should be revised accordingly.</p><p>If the outlook toward streaming industry turns bearish, Apple's subscription plans can face headwinds which will lead to a big decline in the growth of the Service segment. A lower growth rate in Services segment would be a headwind for Apple stock as it is already trading at close to its peak PE multiple in over a decade.</p><p>Investor takeaway</p><p>Apple has not made much progress in its paid subscriber base within its TV+ service. Recent reports suggest that the paid subscriber numbers would be less than 20 million. On the other hand, Apple is investing heavily in this industry which has a negative impact on profits and earnings over the next few years. Apple's investment in TV+ has been more than 10% of the net income in 2020 and it could easily increase to over 20% of net income as Apple ramps up investment to match other peers.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Losses Mount In A Big Money Pit</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Losses Mount In A Big Money Pit\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-15 10:27 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4501445-apple-losses-mount-in-a-big-money-pit><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple has tried to build a strong streaming service by investing heavily in the last few quarters.However, it is still way behind other competitors with less than 20 million paid subscribers in...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4501445-apple-losses-mount-in-a-big-money-pit\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4501445-apple-losses-mount-in-a-big-money-pit","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1132172108","content_text":"SummaryApple has tried to build a strong streaming service by investing heavily in the last few quarters.However, it is still way behind other competitors with less than 20 million paid subscribers in US and Canada.The streaming video business could end up becoming a big money pit for Apple with an estimated budget of over $100 billion over the next decade.High churn rate within its streaming service will limit Apple’s ability to increase stickiness within its ecosystem and get pricing leverage for other products and services.Despite some good shows, Apple’s current streaming strategy could become a big headwind to earnings over the next few quarters.Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been ramping up its investment in the streaming video segment hoping to attract more paying customers.

However, if we continue to find reports of a very low subscriber base, high churn rate, and massive investments then the stock could start showing bearish sentiment.YChartsFigure 3: Comparison of price and P/S ratio of Apple, Netflix and Disney. Source: YChartsWe have already seen massive correction in Netflix and Disney stock when they reported fewer net subscription additions. Apple's streaming business forms a smaller portion of the total valuation for the company. However, Wall Street would still be interested in knowing the improvement in subscriptions within this segment, especially after spending tens of billions of dollars. TV+ could take up investment of 10% to 20% of the net income of Apple over the next few years. This will be a big drag on EPS growth and future estimates should be revised accordingly.If the outlook toward streaming industry turns bearish, Apple's subscription plans can face headwinds which will lead to a big decline in the growth of the Service segment. A lower growth rate in Services segment would be a headwind for Apple stock as it is already trading at close to its peak PE multiple in over a decade.Investor takeawayApple has not made much progress in its paid subscriber base within its TV+ service. Recent reports suggest that the paid subscriber numbers would be less than 20 million. On the other hand, Apple is investing heavily in this industry which has a negative impact on profits and earnings over the next few years. Apple's investment in TV+ has been more than 10% of the net income in 2020 and it could easily increase to over 20% of net income as Apple ramps up investment to match other peers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9080839009,"gmtCreate":1649863382012,"gmtModify":1676534593284,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9080839009","repostId":"2227618615","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2227618615","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1649846340,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2227618615?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-13 18:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple (AAPL): iPhone SE is Shaping to Be Another 'Mini' Disaster, Overall Demand for iPhone 13 Strong - KeyBanc","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2227618615","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"KeyBanc analyst John Vinh told clients today that demand for Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone lineup re","content":"<html><body><div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<img src=\"https://www.streetinsider.com/images/summaries/16/resize_apple-logo_5b9966615a1b6.jpg\"/>\n</div>\n</div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\tKeyBanc analyst John Vinh told clients today that demand for Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone lineup remains resilient with an expectation ...<br/><br/>(Premium-only article.

It offered very interesting conditions to attract sellers, such as free shipping and zero commissions.</p><p>The Confederation of All India Traders or CAIT had filed a complaint that Shopee used predatory pricing tactics. The complaint actually summarized well how Shopee can grab so much market share so fast in new markets.</p><blockquote>Shopee’s deep discounting tactics, including flash sales of products for Re.1, Rs 9 and Rs 49, were aimed at attracting a large base of customers and consumer preference data which the company could use to its advantage.</blockquote><p>The CCI (Competition Commission of India) had dismissed this claim. The CCI confirmed the tactics but it said that Shopee didn't use these tactics to kill competition, as its position didn't allow that yet. CAIT had also claimed that Shopee should be banned from India, just like Free Fire because of its ties with Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY). As far as I know, there has been no news about that part of the claim. Tencent still owns 18% of the shares and it has committed to holding substantial ownership for the longer term. Its voting power in Sea is now less than 10%, which is a crucial threshold.</p><p><b>The pieces of the puzzle</b></p><p>While the first reaction I had (and maybe you and the market as well) was that this had to do with the Free Fire ban, this paragraph of the Tech Crunch article seems to suggest otherwise:</p><blockquote>A source familiar with the matter told TechCrunch Shopee’s India shutdown decision is not linked with the Free Fire ban in India.</blockquote><p>Shopee India is not the first market that was closed a few months after the launch. Shopee France followed the same trajectory and that adds to the probability of this being true, although there could have been some form of trade-off behind the scenes. Something like: "If you withdraw Shopee from India, we might be much more willing to allow Free Fire again." Free Fire is a cash machine, Shopee India is a money-losing initiative so that trade-off would probably be a no-brainer for Sea. But this is pure speculation. I'm not trying to launch any conspiracy theory here.</p><p>The real reason to shut down Shopee India is probably much simpler. Just look at this statement from Sea that Tech Crunch cited (<i>my bold</i>).</p><blockquote><b>In view of global market uncertainties</b>, we have decided to close our early-stage Shopee India initiative.</blockquote><p>This is business talk and quite vague, but I think it's quite clear what's going on if you look at the context. Remember this quote from the Q4 conference call?</p><blockquote>We currently expect Shopee to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA before HQ cost allocation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by this year.</blockquote><p>And this one:</p><blockquote>In Brazil, where Shopee was launched in late 2019, we have already achieved strong traction with meaningful commercialization and improving efficiency.</blockquote><p>And this one:</p><blockquote>However, we strongly believe that by investing prudently and sustainably in Shopee Lat Am and Brazil in particular, we will generate significant value for our shareholders in the long run.</blockquote><p>Sea also expects SeaMoney to be cash-flow positive next year already (2023).</p><p>Let's put the pieces of the puzzle together here.</p><p>(1) Sea will focus much more on profitability.</p><p>(2) There were 19 mentions of Shopee Brazil on the conference call and none of Shopee India</p><p>(3) Shopee India would be a vast money-losing operation for years to come.</p><p>(4) Shopee Brazil is much further down the road than Shopee India.</p><p>(5) The company sees that what it does is working in Brazil.</p><p>If you put everything together, I think that there is logic in the statement of Sea that looked so vague. So I'll repeat it here:</p><blockquote><b>In view of global market uncertainties</b>, we have decided to close our early-stage Shopee India initiative.</blockquote><p>I think it's obvious that Sea sees what the market wants right now: more profitability, less money-losing growth. If the circumstances change, companies should change.</p><p><b>Learning from the past</b></p><p>When the dotcom crash hit Amazon, this is how its EBITDA changed.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9960cc477e8c66b7e59942c0a4d00ea5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>As you can see, the EBITDA of Amazon (AMZN) was negative all of the time, went down much more during the crash and then Amazon said that it would focus more on profitability and did so. Does this sound familiar? From that point on, Amazon's EBITDA just kept growing.</p><p>Mind you, it took a few years after the dotcom crash started before Amazon showed its power by posting positive EBITDA.</p><p><b>Is this a management mistake?</b></p><p>There are still a lot of other new Shopee markets, including Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Spain and Poland. Over the short term launching in so many countries at the same time has big implications for Sea's profitability. The fact that the market seems to have turned, that inflation is high and that interest rates will go up makes that we have a new situation. That's what's meant by</p><blockquote><b>In view of global market uncertainties</b>, we have decided to close our early-stage Shopee India initiative.</blockquote><p>Sea adapts to the new situation very fast. I would not be surprised if it closed its Spanish arm as well. And who knows, maybe even a few others, where Shopee doesn't see the traction that it had expected. In this new situation, that's not a mistake by the management, to the contrary. Adapting to new circumstances very fast is what the best companies of our time have always done. Netflix (NFLX) was going to launch Quikster and shut down the initiative after just a few weeks when it saw the reaction of customers and the market. Amazon focused on EBITDA when the market demanded that. Google (GOOGL) (GOOG) has also an impressive list of mistakes and failures and even Apple (AAPL) has scars.</p><p>If you want the perfect company, one that never makes any mistakes, you should probably invest in a company that has gone bankrupt. If you have to make decisions, you will make mistakes.</p><p>The number of errors that Amazon made is legendary and inherent to its business culture. The legendary Fire Phone was just the tip of the iceberg. You can read this list of 56 other failures. Here's a list of 50 Google failures. And here are 23 Apple mistakes. If you are still not convinced, Microsoft (MSFT) has probably wasted more money on failures than any other company. These are just 15 on the list.</p><p>Of course, no single mistake is identical. There are hardware and software mistakes. Usually, software mistakes are much less expensive. What you see is that hardware is shut down much faster; for software, it's often a few years, for the hardware failures, it's often in months. With its investments in zero commission and free shipping, Shopee resembles hardware failures much more and closing fast makes a lot of sense.</p><p>With hindsight knowledge, mistakes always look obvious. What was Microsoft thinking with its Nokia acquisition? Why did Amazon try to launch the Fire Phone? What was Google thinking when it launched the Google Glasses? Well, often, these companies had excellent reasons at the time. They saw a trend that they wanted to join, they saw an opportunity for competing, and they thought they could address a new market.</p><p><b>How I think about this</b></p><p>The same goes for Shopee. With the fast expansion, it thought that it made the best decision with everything known at the time. Don't forget that Sea went into these markets before October 2021. Only in November there was talk about inflation getting out of control and maybe not being transitory. It made a lot of sense going into new markets with the numbers Garena put up and the low-interest environment we lived in. Now that the circumstances have changed, the company has changed its strategy. That makes sense to me.</p><p>You can always interpret this kind of news in two ways. You can say that management screwed up, or you can say that management tried out a great opportunity.</p><p>Sea still has a lot of cash on its balance sheet, about $10B.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/af8d04022ba5aea798405b8b27d0cc9c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>At the same time, Garena remains a cash cow, even though it's not expected to grow anymore. But it adds to Sea's money pile. In an environment that looks suspiciously at companies investing huge piles of money for growth, and that only changed a few months ago, Sea changed its strategy. It will now focus on fewer markets where it has seen proof of traction, which can bring the scale of economy that Sea wants and it will focus on EBITDA profitability much faster than it had probably foreseen. That's more a sign of excellent management than poor management, in my opinion.</p><p>India probably only adds low single digits when it comes to Shopee's GMV (gross merchandise volume, the total dollar amount of all the products sold on the platform). Probably just 1% or 2%. Usually, Shopee beats that guidance. Maybe it just meets now, we'll have to see, but to me, this doesn't change the long-term thesis.</p><p>Shopee is still in a dozen other growth markets. It may shut down one or maybe a few others, but it will remain focusing on its 7 core markets: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. I am sure that it will keep investing heavily in Brazil too, as it clearly sees early signs of success there, with revenue up by 626% YoY in Brazil.</p><p>Mexico, Colombia and Chile are less certain and much earlier but I expect them to continue to invest there, but in declining order of certainty: Mexico, Colombia, Chile. I'm not sure about Poland, although there are positive signs there, and even less sure about Spain as these are even much earlier and in a completely different market environment, resembling France a bit. I think there is a fairly high chance that Spain could also see Shopee leave, but we'll have to see. It is also possible that India was the last pull-back. As an outsider, you can't judge as well as the company, with its vast data points that it can use to make the necessary decisions.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>We are in a different environment now and Shopee adapts to that new environment. I think that's more a strength than a weakness, although I'm sure enough people will explain it as a failure of Sea's management. That's OK; everybody is entitled to their own opinion.</p><p>Shopee is still a very young company, just 6 years old (launched in 2015) and it has already shown impressive results in that short journey.

It was down about 10% in the early market hours but it ended up 0.93% if you added the after-market move. During market hours, it was up 0.74%.YChartsIn the meantime, the stock continued to climb after this news and at the moment of writing, it's up 13.5% in a week.Data by YChartsShopee India had just launched a few months earlier, in October 2021, when it started recruiting sellers in the country. It offered very interesting conditions to attract sellers, such as free shipping and zero commissions.The Confederation of All India Traders or CAIT had filed a complaint that Shopee used predatory pricing tactics. The complaint actually summarized well how Shopee can grab so much market share so fast in new markets.Shopee’s deep discounting tactics, including flash sales of products for Re.1, Rs 9 and Rs 49, were aimed at attracting a large base of customers and consumer preference data which the company could use to its advantage.The CCI (Competition Commission of India) had dismissed this claim. The CCI confirmed the tactics but it said that Shopee didn't use these tactics to kill competition, as its position didn't allow that yet. CAIT had also claimed that Shopee should be banned from India, just like Free Fire because of its ties with Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY). As far as I know, there has been no news about that part of the claim. Tencent still owns 18% of the shares and it has committed to holding substantial ownership for the longer term. Its voting power in Sea is now less than 10%, which is a crucial threshold.The pieces of the puzzleWhile the first reaction I had (and maybe you and the market as well) was that this had to do with the Free Fire ban, this paragraph of the Tech Crunch article seems to suggest otherwise:A source familiar with the matter told TechCrunch Shopee’s India shutdown decision is not linked with the Free Fire ban in India.Shopee India is not the first market that was closed a few months after the launch. Shopee France followed the same trajectory and that adds to the probability of this being true, although there could have been some form of trade-off behind the scenes. Something like: \"If you withdraw Shopee from India, we might be much more willing to allow Free Fire again.\" Free Fire is a cash machine, Shopee India is a money-losing initiative so that trade-off would probably be a no-brainer for Sea. But this is pure speculation. I'm not trying to launch any conspiracy theory here.The real reason to shut down Shopee India is probably much simpler. Just look at this statement from Sea that Tech Crunch cited (my bold).In view of global market uncertainties, we have decided to close our early-stage Shopee India initiative.This is business talk and quite vague, but I think it's quite clear what's going on if you look at the context. Remember this quote from the Q4 conference call?We currently expect Shopee to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA before HQ cost allocation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by this year.And this one:In Brazil, where Shopee was launched in late 2019, we have already achieved strong traction with meaningful commercialization and improving efficiency.And this one:However, we strongly believe that by investing prudently and sustainably in Shopee Lat Am and Brazil in particular, we will generate significant value for our shareholders in the long run.Sea also expects SeaMoney to be cash-flow positive next year already (2023).Let's put the pieces of the puzzle together here.(1) Sea will focus much more on profitability.(2) There were 19 mentions of Shopee Brazil on the conference call and none of Shopee India(3) Shopee India would be a vast money-losing operation for years to come.(4) Shopee Brazil is much further down the road than Shopee India.(5) The company sees that what it does is working in Brazil.If you put everything together, I think that there is logic in the statement of Sea that looked so vague. So I'll repeat it here:In view of global market uncertainties, we have decided to close our early-stage Shopee India initiative.I think it's obvious that Sea sees what the market wants right now: more profitability, less money-losing growth. If the circumstances change, companies should change.Learning from the pastWhen the dotcom crash hit Amazon, this is how its EBITDA changed.Data by YChartsAs you can see, the EBITDA of Amazon (AMZN) was negative all of the time, went down much more during the crash and then Amazon said that it would focus more on profitability and did so. Does this sound familiar? From that point on, Amazon's EBITDA just kept growing.Mind you, it took a few years after the dotcom crash started before Amazon showed its power by posting positive EBITDA.Is this a management mistake?There are still a lot of other new Shopee markets, including Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Spain and Poland. Over the short term launching in so many countries at the same time has big implications for Sea's profitability. The fact that the market seems to have turned, that inflation is high and that interest rates will go up makes that we have a new situation. That's what's meant byIn view of global market uncertainties, we have decided to close our early-stage Shopee India initiative.Sea adapts to the new situation very fast. I would not be surprised if it closed its Spanish arm as well. And who knows, maybe even a few others, where Shopee doesn't see the traction that it had expected. In this new situation, that's not a mistake by the management, to the contrary. Adapting to new circumstances very fast is what the best companies of our time have always done. Netflix (NFLX) was going to launch Quikster and shut down the initiative after just a few weeks when it saw the reaction of customers and the market. Amazon focused on EBITDA when the market demanded that. Google (GOOGL) (GOOG) has also an impressive list of mistakes and failures and even Apple (AAPL) has scars.If you want the perfect company, one that never makes any mistakes, you should probably invest in a company that has gone bankrupt. If you have to make decisions, you will make mistakes.The number of errors that Amazon made is legendary and inherent to its business culture. The legendary Fire Phone was just the tip of the iceberg. You can read this list of 56 other failures. Here's a list of 50 Google failures. And here are 23 Apple mistakes. If you are still not convinced, Microsoft (MSFT) has probably wasted more money on failures than any other company. These are just 15 on the list.Of course, no single mistake is identical. There are hardware and software mistakes. Usually, software mistakes are much less expensive. What you see is that hardware is shut down much faster; for software, it's often a few years, for the hardware failures, it's often in months. With its investments in zero commission and free shipping, Shopee resembles hardware failures much more and closing fast makes a lot of sense.With hindsight knowledge, mistakes always look obvious. What was Microsoft thinking with its Nokia acquisition? Why did Amazon try to launch the Fire Phone? What was Google thinking when it launched the Google Glasses? Well, often, these companies had excellent reasons at the time. They saw a trend that they wanted to join, they saw an opportunity for competing, and they thought they could address a new market.How I think about thisThe same goes for Shopee. With the fast expansion, it thought that it made the best decision with everything known at the time. Don't forget that Sea went into these markets before October 2021. Only in November there was talk about inflation getting out of control and maybe not being transitory. It made a lot of sense going into new markets with the numbers Garena put up and the low-interest environment we lived in. Now that the circumstances have changed, the company has changed its strategy. That makes sense to me.You can always interpret this kind of news in two ways. You can say that management screwed up, or you can say that management tried out a great opportunity.Sea still has a lot of cash on its balance sheet, about $10B.Data by YChartsAt the same time, Garena remains a cash cow, even though it's not expected to grow anymore. But it adds to Sea's money pile. In an environment that looks suspiciously at companies investing huge piles of money for growth, and that only changed a few months ago, Sea changed its strategy. It will now focus on fewer markets where it has seen proof of traction, which can bring the scale of economy that Sea wants and it will focus on EBITDA profitability much faster than it had probably foreseen. That's more a sign of excellent management than poor management, in my opinion.India probably only adds low single digits when it comes to Shopee's GMV (gross merchandise volume, the total dollar amount of all the products sold on the platform). Probably just 1% or 2%. Usually, Shopee beats that guidance. Maybe it just meets now, we'll have to see, but to me, this doesn't change the long-term thesis.Shopee is still in a dozen other growth markets. It may shut down one or maybe a few others, but it will remain focusing on its 7 core markets: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. I am sure that it will keep investing heavily in Brazil too, as it clearly sees early signs of success there, with revenue up by 626% YoY in Brazil.Mexico, Colombia and Chile are less certain and much earlier but I expect them to continue to invest there, but in declining order of certainty: Mexico, Colombia, Chile. I'm not sure about Poland, although there are positive signs there, and even less sure about Spain as these are even much earlier and in a completely different market environment, resembling France a bit. I think there is a fairly high chance that Spain could also see Shopee leave, but we'll have to see. It is also possible that India was the last pull-back. As an outsider, you can't judge as well as the company, with its vast data points that it can use to make the necessary decisions.ConclusionWe are in a different environment now and Shopee adapts to that new environment. I think that's more a strength than a weakness, although I'm sure enough people will explain it as a failure of Sea's management. That's OK; everybody is entitled to their own opinion.Shopee is still a very young company, just 6 years old (launched in 2015) and it has already shown impressive results in that short journey. It overtook Lazada and all other local players and became the number 1 in all of the Southeast Asian markets and Taiwan. I'm confident that many other achievements will follow, but there will always be mistakes and stumbles. Knowing that Sea's management is not afraid to lose face by turning back the clock on what doesn't seem to work in the current circumstances doesn't lower my conviction.In the meantime, keep growing!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":423,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019112277,"gmtCreate":1648557907593,"gmtModify":1676534353542,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/9019112277","repostId":"2223081068","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2223081068","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1648529334,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2223081068?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-29 12:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Gaming A Key Growth Engine For Big Tech","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2223081068","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Maskot/DigitalVision via Getty ImagesBy Hilary Frisch, CFA Video Games Have Become Big Business Vide","content":"<html><body><p><figure><picture> <img height=\"1024px\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w750\" srcset=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w1536 1536w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w1280 1280w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w1080 1080w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w750 750w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w640 640w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w480 480w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w320 320w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1296341945/image_1296341945.jpg?io=getty-c-w240 240w\" width=\"1536px\"/> </picture><figcaption> <p>Maskot/DigitalVision via Getty Images</p></figcaption></figure><em>By Hilary Frisch, CFA</em></p> <h4>Video Games Have Become Big Business</h4> <p>Video games are becoming <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the leading recreational activities globally. Unlike most other entertainment content, video games create a social and interactive experience that offer gamers a chance to compete and to cultivate their creativity. While the $180 billion industry has long been associated with young, male console owners, developments in the accessibility and nature of gaming has created a community that spans genders, income levels, ages and geographies. These developments have created a race among technology companies to acquire video game publishers and platforms. Earlier this year Sony (SONY) stated its intention to purchase game developer Bungie for an estimated $3.6 billion, Take-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> Interactive (TTWO) agreed to acquire mobile gaming company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZNGA\">Zynga</a> (ZNGA) in a transaction valued at approximately $12.7 billion and Microsoft (MSFT) announced its largest acquisition ever for Call of Duty (CoD) maker Activision Blizzard (ATVI) for $69 billion.</p><div></div> <p>Heightened deal activity reflects a wider shift in perception of the video game business by media and technology companies. Microsoft and Sony have recognized that the benefits of acquiring video game platforms and publishers extend beyond the revenues from an individual game title. Through such acquisitions they are endeavoring to create their own gaming ecosystems — virtual destinations where gamers can download and play games as well as access digital and streaming content to create a closed-loop digital entertainment destination.</p> <h4>Innovations Open Gaming to All</h4> <p>Innovations in mobile gaming, content development and connectivity are widening the total addressable market for gaming. One of the greatest catalysts for the growth of video games has been mobile gaming. The ability to extend gaming’s reach beyond the console has helped to accelerate the proliferation of gaming and engage demographics that previously would not consider themselves gamers. Additionally, the relatively low barriers to entry for the development of mobile games versus console games have helped mobile developers publish a wider range of games to attract and retain a greater audience. This has caused an explosion in the popularity of mobile games, which now make up over 50% of total video game industry revenues and total approximately $93 billion.</p> <p>The development of games specifically for mobile such as the widely popular Candy Crush or Fruit Ninja have garnered attention, and larger, well-established console-based franchises are taking note (Exhibit 1). The release of Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty:Mobile in October 2019 was the first foray of a large console franchise into mobile gaming. CoD:Mobile turned out to be a huge success, with nearly 210 million active players and 30 million daily users. More surprisingly, it gained popularity beyond traditional gaming demographics.</p> <p><em>Exhibit 1: Mobile Has Major Growth Opportunities</em></p> <p><figure><picture> <span><img height=\"321\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/28/32145735-16484828909574523.png\" width=\"640\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>Corporate Filings</span></p></figcaption></figure></p><div></div> <p>Content continues to be a critical driver in gamer engagement on all platforms. Demand is so high, in fact, that gaming platforms such as Roblox (RBLX), Unity (U) and AppLovin (APP) have opened their developer toolkits and encouraged users to use their platforms to develop and self-publish their own games and experiences. Since Roblox launched in 2006, its users have created over 40 million games, spawned 9.5 million individual game developers and approximately 202 million monthly active users. With 67% of Roblox users under the age of 16, the chance to make and share their own games has allowed these young developers to create content specifically geared to other pre-teens, generating greater engagement with this age demographic. Additionally, Roblox has achieved a much more balanced split across gender than traditional video games demographics.</p> <p>Gaming has also become a much more social activity through greater Internet access. No longer limited to the same console or geographic region, gamers are now able to collaborate and compete with other gamers across the globe. Companies have been quick to recognize heightened levels of competition drive gamer engagement and have been actively working to foster greater competition to extend game playability and monetization opportunities.</p> <h4>New Game Designs Driving Industry Growth</h4> <p>Video game publishers have also developed new monetization strategies. These include extending the life of their major titles and leveraging their existing fanbases by creating and selling new, downloadable content (\"DLC\") that offers add-ons, including exclusive character skins and levels. Mobile publishers have found new opportunities to increase revenue streams and player communities by developing “freemium” games, which include free-to-play games with the option to purchase premium content or include in-game advertisements. Freemium games not only offer prospective users free content to entice upgrades to premium services, but also create a steady revenue stream using in-game advertisements.</p> <p>Finally, the shift to mobile gaming and digital downloads has cut costs. While game development has traditionally incurred high up-front costs for the physical production of hardware such as CDs and retail costs of shelf space before a single copy is sold, direct-to-download has reduced or eliminated many of these initial rollout expenses, reducing overall development spending.</p> <h4>Gaming Crucial for Next-Gen Digital Content</h4> <p>While growth and increased monetization of games are viable investment catalysts, tech companies have also recognized that video games are crucial to the development of next-generation digital content.</p><div></div> <p>Heightened competition among gamers has boosted the attraction of esports as a viable entertainment medium. In May 2021, the Free Fire World Series featuring its mobile battle royale game was streamed by over 5.4 million viewers in 18 different languages. Sony has sought to incorporate esports into its PlayStation ecosystem by acquiring the world’s largest fighting game championship tournament, the EVO Championship series, in 2021 and filing a patent for an esports betting platform run through PlayStation. Combined with greater integration of video game streaming services such as Twitch and YouTube with Microsoft, Sony, Amazon (AMZN) and Google’s (GOOG) digital ecosystems, esports should continue to be a significant content driver for major tech companies.</p> <p>Video games’ role in the burgeoning metaverse offers even greater possibilities. Envisioned as a network of 3D, virtual worlds focused on social engagement, the metaverse offers participants the possibility of nearly endless digital environments in which to work, shop and engage. Gaming platforms such as Roblox already offer users the tools to construct their own games and serve as a microcosm of the larger digital ecosystems that tech companies are jockeying to build.

Unlike most other entertainment content, video games create a social and interactive experience that offer gamers a chance to compete and to cultivate their creativity. While the $180 billion industry has long been associated with young, male console owners, developments in the accessibility and nature of gaming has created a community that spans genders, income levels, ages and geographies. These developments have created a race among technology companies to acquire video game publishers and platforms. Earlier this year Sony (SONY) stated its intention to purchase game developer Bungie for an estimated $3.6 billion, Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) agreed to acquire mobile gaming company Zynga (ZNGA) in a transaction valued at approximately $12.7 billion and Microsoft (MSFT) announced its largest acquisition ever for Call of Duty (CoD) maker Activision Blizzard (ATVI) for $69 billion. Heightened deal activity reflects a wider shift in perception of the video game business by media and technology companies. Microsoft and Sony have recognized that the benefits of acquiring video game platforms and publishers extend beyond the revenues from an individual game title. Through such acquisitions they are endeavoring to create their own gaming ecosystems — virtual destinations where gamers can download and play games as well as access digital and streaming content to create a closed-loop digital entertainment destination. Innovations Open Gaming to All Innovations in mobile gaming, content development and connectivity are widening the total addressable market for gaming. One of the greatest catalysts for the growth of video games has been mobile gaming. The ability to extend gaming’s reach beyond the console has helped to accelerate the proliferation of gaming and engage demographics that previously would not consider themselves gamers. Additionally, the relatively low barriers to entry for the development of mobile games versus console games have helped mobile developers publish a wider range of games to attract and retain a greater audience. This has caused an explosion in the popularity of mobile games, which now make up over 50% of total video game industry revenues and total approximately $93 billion. The development of games specifically for mobile such as the widely popular Candy Crush or Fruit Ninja have garnered attention, and larger, well-established console-based franchises are taking note (Exhibit 1). The release of Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty:Mobile in October 2019 was the first foray of a large console franchise into mobile gaming. CoD:Mobile turned out to be a huge success, with nearly 210 million active players and 30 million daily users. More surprisingly, it gained popularity beyond traditional gaming demographics. Exhibit 1: Mobile Has Major Growth Opportunities Corporate Filings Content continues to be a critical driver in gamer engagement on all platforms. Demand is so high, in fact, that gaming platforms such as Roblox (RBLX), Unity (U) and AppLovin (APP) have opened their developer toolkits and encouraged users to use their platforms to develop and self-publish their own games and experiences. Since Roblox launched in 2006, its users have created over 40 million games, spawned 9.5 million individual game developers and approximately 202 million monthly active users. With 67% of Roblox users under the age of 16, the chance to make and share their own games has allowed these young developers to create content specifically geared to other pre-teens, generating greater engagement with this age demographic. Additionally, Roblox has achieved a much more balanced split across gender than traditional video games demographics. Gaming has also become a much more social activity through greater Internet access. No longer limited to the same console or geographic region, gamers are now able to collaborate and compete with other gamers across the globe. Companies have been quick to recognize heightened levels of competition drive gamer engagement and have been actively working to foster greater competition to extend game playability and monetization opportunities. New Game Designs Driving Industry Growth Video game publishers have also developed new monetization strategies. These include extending the life of their major titles and leveraging their existing fanbases by creating and selling new, downloadable content (\"DLC\") that offers add-ons, including exclusive character skins and levels. Mobile publishers have found new opportunities to increase revenue streams and player communities by developing “freemium” games, which include free-to-play games with the option to purchase premium content or include in-game advertisements. Freemium games not only offer prospective users free content to entice upgrades to premium services, but also create a steady revenue stream using in-game advertisements. Finally, the shift to mobile gaming and digital downloads has cut costs. While game development has traditionally incurred high up-front costs for the physical production of hardware such as CDs and retail costs of shelf space before a single copy is sold, direct-to-download has reduced or eliminated many of these initial rollout expenses, reducing overall development spending. Gaming Crucial for Next-Gen Digital Content While growth and increased monetization of games are viable investment catalysts, tech companies have also recognized that video games are crucial to the development of next-generation digital content. Heightened competition among gamers has boosted the attraction of esports as a viable entertainment medium. In May 2021, the Free Fire World Series featuring its mobile battle royale game was streamed by over 5.4 million viewers in 18 different languages. Sony has sought to incorporate esports into its PlayStation ecosystem by acquiring the world’s largest fighting game championship tournament, the EVO Championship series, in 2021 and filing a patent for an esports betting platform run through PlayStation. Combined with greater integration of video game streaming services such as Twitch and YouTube with Microsoft, Sony, Amazon (AMZN) and Google’s (GOOG) digital ecosystems, esports should continue to be a significant content driver for major tech companies. Video games’ role in the burgeoning metaverse offers even greater possibilities. Envisioned as a network of 3D, virtual worlds focused on social engagement, the metaverse offers participants the possibility of nearly endless digital environments in which to work, shop and engage. Gaming platforms such as Roblox already offer users the tools to construct their own games and serve as a microcosm of the larger digital ecosystems that tech companies are jockeying to build. As tech companies look for new ways to maximize their footprint in the metaverse, they will increasingly look to the resources and experience offered by traditional and emerging gaming companies (Exhibit 2).

We analyzed the EV market and Tesla's market positioning in theEV market in terms of its market share. We also looked into its technological capabilities and compared it against competitors in aspects such as the self-driving capability to determine its competitiveness in the EV market.</p><p>Moreover, we looked into its expansion overseas in Europe and Asia and analyzed the market growth outlook in these geographic regions compared to its home market in the US. Based on its expansions, we projected its automotive production and sales growth.</p><p>Lastly, we examined Tesla's supply chain and sourcing strategy as it increasingly moves to the in-house production of components. We analyzed its margins and estimated it going forward with the impact of its overseas production and internal production.</p><p><b>Leader In the Fast-Growing EV Industry</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f022e2a9bcb4c4b70c9a9c9fdcd00bf2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Company Data, Khaveen Investments</span></p><p>In 2021, Toyota (TM) held the title as the market leader of the automaker market with the highest share. This is followed by Volkswagen Group (OTCPK:VWAGY), Stellantis (STLA), General Motors (GM) and SAIC which made the top 5. The top 5 consisted of 2 automakers from the European and Asian geographic regions each with General Motors the only US company in the top 5. This is followed by the remaining 5 largest companies which are Honda (HMC), Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY), Ford (F), Hyundai (OTCPK:HYMTF) and Suzuki (OTCPK:SZKMF). Except for Ford (US-based), the rest of the automakers were based in Asia. Tesla did not break into the top 10 largest automakers in 2021.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eedeab2f43c53da019e1a86a7daf3f45\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>InsideEVs</span></p><p>Notwithstanding, according to InsideEVs, Tesla was the market leader in the EV market with a share of 21% of EV unit sales. This is followed by SAIC and Volkswagen which are both the largest in their home markets of China and Europe, respectively, followed by BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) and Hyundai in the top 5 EV automakers worldwide. In the US specifically, Tesla had dominated the US EV market as it retained its title as the market leader over the past 5 years. However, its market share decreased in 2021 with increasing competition from other automakers such as Chevrolet, FIAT, and Volvo (OTCPK:VOLAF), which gained market share. Globally, Tesla is the market leader in 2021 with the highest market share of unit sales.</p><p>To identify Tesla's market positioning and to compare it against competitors in the EV market, we compared it against competitors based on several factors including the number of EV model variants, range and average base price. According to data from InsideEVs, we compiled a total of 106 EV models from 18 different EV companies and calculated each of their number of EV model variants, average base prices and range. We plotted these data in the bubble chart below with the range and the number of models on both axes and the midpoints of each factor based on the median and the size of each bubble represented by their average base prices where we see the smaller the circle size, the stronger the advantage for the company.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c46432d3ae2f9d42035308a4425a0bd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>InsideEVs, Khaveen Investments</span></p><p><i>*Circle size represents average base price</i></p><p>Based on the chart, Tesla is placed in the top right quadrant with a higher number of EV model variants such as the Model 3, S and X, than the midpoint of 4 models. Its average range is also above the midpoint, which is around 260 miles. We believe this highlights Tesla's strengths with a wide variety and above-average range. Besides Tesla, the companies in the top right quadrant are Lucid (LCID) Air, Kia, Hyundai and Ford. Meanwhile, in the bottom right quadrant, Porsche (OTCPK:POAHY), Audi (OTCPK:AUDVF) and Nissan are placed there with a high number of models but poor range. On the left side of the chart, most companies are in the top half (5 out of 9) and represented mostly by European-based automakers (6 out of 10) including Mercedes (OTCPK:DDAIF), BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Polestar, Jaguar, Volvo and Volkswagen.</p><p>Moreover, in terms of pricing, the company with the highest average price in the chart is Lucid Air, which is lifted by its expensive Air DreamEditionbut with one of the highest battery capacities and range. Tesla's average price is lower than Lucid Air, Mercedes and Porsche, but has a wider variety with a higher number of EV models at 16 which is the second-highest behind Ford. On the other hand, Chevrolet and Mazda both have the lowest average price with a low average battery capacity of 65kWh and 35kWh which are the lowest and below the average of 88 kWh.</p><p>All in all, based on our chart, we believe Tesla is placed as the best in the EV market due to its high number of models, which is only behind Ford. However, Tesla edges out over Ford with a higher average range, thus we place Ford as the second best. Although Lucid Air has a better range than Tesla, we believe its high price is a disadvantage to Tesla and we ranked it as the third-best company. In contrast, we believe Mazda is placed in the worst position with a low number of models and poor range with tough competition at its price point from other competitors.</p><p>While we find that Tesla's pricing is generally higher than competitors, we also note its technological innovation. The company's EVs are equipped with its Autopilot technology to provide driverless assist capabilities using vision-based sensors. According to its annual report, it is also developing its full self-driving ('FSD') capabilities running on neural networks in its vehicles and is currently in beta testing. According to its latest earnings briefing, the company highlighted its FSD program having over 100,000 people and it expects to expand this year.</p><p>However, several of its competitors also provide similar capabilities such as adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering including Audi, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche and Volkswagen. Besides that, Tesla also provides over-the-air updates to improve the vehicle functions of existing Tesla EVs. According to Munster, while other automakers also provide OTA updates, they are focused on infotainment features whereas Tesla extends these software updates for its EVs to improve range, power, braking, safety, and driver-assistance features.</p><p><b>Expansion into Europe and Other Countries</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/63321f487202232316b5fc1f4622231e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla, Khaveen Investments</span></p><p>Tesla's largest geographic region based on its annual report is the US, which accounts for nearly half of its revenues, while China is its second-largest region with the remaining categorized as its Others segment.

However, the company had been expanding its production facilities overseas with a Gigafactory in Germany which recentlyopenedwith a capacity of up to 500,000 vehicles. This is its second facility outside of the US besides its Gigafactory in Shanghai which opened in 2019.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bba7fb5c5f89d9b675d56cdf290e293\" tg-width=\"911\" tg-height=\"492\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: EV Volumes, Meticulous Research</span></p><p>From the table, the largest geographic regions for the EV market are China and Europe which combined accounted for 85% of total global unit sales in 2021. Meanwhile, North America where Tesla is based and derives 45% of revenue only represented 11% of the total market. Furthermore, both Europe and China have higher market forecast unit volume CAGR than North America and higher than the global average.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d10110c3aabbf8d7bf4bd6a09d8c71cc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>InsideEVs</span></p><p>Based on InsideEVs, Tesla was the third largest EV company in China with a unit sales share of 10% in 2021 behind BYD and the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture which sells vehicles under the Wuling and Baojun brands. Besides Tesla and Volkswagen, the largest companies are from China which highlights their home-field advantage. For Volkswagen, its popularity is supported by consumer preference for the European automaker's vehicles and SUVs according to AutoCar.

Besides that, we also highlighted its advantage in terms of its software and self-driving capabilities and features which we believe could provide it with an edge over competitors. As Tesla expands overseas in Europe and China which combined account for over 85% of the EV market, we expect the company's expansion to support its growth with a projected sales growth of 47.6% in 2022. Additionally, we believe the company's expansion in China which its CEO previously stated to be 50% lower than the US and shift towards in-house could boost its margins going forward and we projected its gross and net margins to reach 43% and 23.5% respectively, assuming its COGS per vehicle continues to decrease by -5.8% through 2026.

We analyzed the EV market and Tesla's market positioning in theEV market in terms of its market share. We also looked into its technological capabilities and compared it against competitors in aspects such as the self-driving capability to determine its competitiveness in the EV market.Moreover, we looked into its expansion overseas in Europe and Asia and analyzed the market growth outlook in these geographic regions compared to its home market in the US. Based on its expansions, we projected its automotive production and sales growth.Lastly, we examined Tesla's supply chain and sourcing strategy as it increasingly moves to the in-house production of components. We analyzed its margins and estimated it going forward with the impact of its overseas production and internal production.Leader In the Fast-Growing EV IndustryCompany Data, Khaveen InvestmentsIn 2021, Toyota (TM) held the title as the market leader of the automaker market with the highest share. This is followed by Volkswagen Group (OTCPK:VWAGY), Stellantis (STLA), General Motors (GM) and SAIC which made the top 5. The top 5 consisted of 2 automakers from the European and Asian geographic regions each with General Motors the only US company in the top 5. This is followed by the remaining 5 largest companies which are Honda (HMC), Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY), Ford (F), Hyundai (OTCPK:HYMTF) and Suzuki (OTCPK:SZKMF). Except for Ford (US-based), the rest of the automakers were based in Asia. Tesla did not break into the top 10 largest automakers in 2021.InsideEVsNotwithstanding, according to InsideEVs, Tesla was the market leader in the EV market with a share of 21% of EV unit sales. This is followed by SAIC and Volkswagen which are both the largest in their home markets of China and Europe, respectively, followed by BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) and Hyundai in the top 5 EV automakers worldwide. In the US specifically, Tesla had dominated the US EV market as it retained its title as the market leader over the past 5 years. However, its market share decreased in 2021 with increasing competition from other automakers such as Chevrolet, FIAT, and Volvo (OTCPK:VOLAF), which gained market share. Globally, Tesla is the market leader in 2021 with the highest market share of unit sales.To identify Tesla's market positioning and to compare it against competitors in the EV market, we compared it against competitors based on several factors including the number of EV model variants, range and average base price. According to data from InsideEVs, we compiled a total of 106 EV models from 18 different EV companies and calculated each of their number of EV model variants, average base prices and range. We plotted these data in the bubble chart below with the range and the number of models on both axes and the midpoints of each factor based on the median and the size of each bubble represented by their average base prices where we see the smaller the circle size, the stronger the advantage for the company.InsideEVs, Khaveen Investments*Circle size represents average base priceBased on the chart, Tesla is placed in the top right quadrant with a higher number of EV model variants such as the Model 3, S and X, than the midpoint of 4 models. Its average range is also above the midpoint, which is around 260 miles. We believe this highlights Tesla's strengths with a wide variety and above-average range. Besides Tesla, the companies in the top right quadrant are Lucid (LCID) Air, Kia, Hyundai and Ford. Meanwhile, in the bottom right quadrant, Porsche (OTCPK:POAHY), Audi (OTCPK:AUDVF) and Nissan are placed there with a high number of models but poor range. On the left side of the chart, most companies are in the top half (5 out of 9) and represented mostly by European-based automakers (6 out of 10) including Mercedes (OTCPK:DDAIF), BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Polestar, Jaguar, Volvo and Volkswagen.Moreover, in terms of pricing, the company with the highest average price in the chart is Lucid Air, which is lifted by its expensive Air DreamEditionbut with one of the highest battery capacities and range. Tesla's average price is lower than Lucid Air, Mercedes and Porsche, but has a wider variety with a higher number of EV models at 16 which is the second-highest behind Ford. On the other hand, Chevrolet and Mazda both have the lowest average price with a low average battery capacity of 65kWh and 35kWh which are the lowest and below the average of 88 kWh.All in all, based on our chart, we believe Tesla is placed as the best in the EV market due to its high number of models, which is only behind Ford. However, Tesla edges out over Ford with a higher average range, thus we place Ford as the second best. Although Lucid Air has a better range than Tesla, we believe its high price is a disadvantage to Tesla and we ranked it as the third-best company. In contrast, we believe Mazda is placed in the worst position with a low number of models and poor range with tough competition at its price point from other competitors.While we find that Tesla's pricing is generally higher than competitors, we also note its technological innovation. The company's EVs are equipped with its Autopilot technology to provide driverless assist capabilities using vision-based sensors. According to its annual report, it is also developing its full self-driving ('FSD') capabilities running on neural networks in its vehicles and is currently in beta testing. According to its latest earnings briefing, the company highlighted its FSD program having over 100,000 people and it expects to expand this year.However, several of its competitors also provide similar capabilities such as adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering including Audi, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche and Volkswagen. Besides that, Tesla also provides over-the-air updates to improve the vehicle functions of existing Tesla EVs. According to Munster, while other automakers also provide OTA updates, they are focused on infotainment features whereas Tesla extends these software updates for its EVs to improve range, power, braking, safety, and driver-assistance features.Expansion into Europe and Other CountriesTesla, Khaveen InvestmentsTesla's largest geographic region based on its annual report is the US, which accounts for nearly half of its revenues, while China is its second-largest region with the remaining categorized as its Others segment. The company's geographic revenue indicates its limited presence beyond these regions as most of the company's manufacturing bases are located in the US and China as seen in the table below.TeslaAccording to Tesla, the majority of its production sites are located in the US with a Gigafactory in Texas announced to be opened by April 2022 with an expected capacity of 500,000 for its Model Y. However, the company had been expanding its production facilities overseas with a Gigafactory in Germany which recentlyopenedwith a capacity of up to 500,000 vehicles. This is its second facility outside of the US besides its Gigafactory in Shanghai which opened in 2019.Source: EV Volumes, Meticulous ResearchFrom the table, the largest geographic regions for the EV market are China and Europe which combined accounted for 85% of total global unit sales in 2021. Meanwhile, North America where Tesla is based and derives 45% of revenue only represented 11% of the total market. Furthermore, both Europe and China have higher market forecast unit volume CAGR than North America and higher than the global average.InsideEVsBased on InsideEVs, Tesla was the third largest EV company in China with a unit sales share of 10% in 2021 behind BYD and the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture which sells vehicles under the Wuling and Baojun brands. Besides Tesla and Volkswagen, the largest companies are from China which highlights their home-field advantage. For Volkswagen, its popularity is supported by consumer preference for the European automaker's vehicles and SUVs according to AutoCar. Also, it is the largest EV automaker in Europe and the second-largest automaker in the world behind Toyota.InsideEVsFurthermore, the largest EV companies by unit sales in Europe were Volkswagen, Stellantis, Daimler, BMW and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. Tesla had a smaller share than all of these competitors. Besides the Renault alliance, all of the companies were based in Europe which we believe highlights their home-field advantage. We believe the company's expansion overseas in China and Europe could bode well for the company to increase its presence in these regions through its new manufacturing sites to cater to demand and provide tailwinds as the two largest geographic markets for EV.To forecast the company's automotive sales, we first forecasted its vehicle production growth based on its total capacity of 2,050 across its facilities in the US, Shanghai and Berlin. We assumed the company to reach this level by 2023 as it begins operations this year. Beyond 2023, we tapered down its growth to the market forecast volume CAGR of 21.7%.

First, we compiled our revenue projections for the company in the table below with the automotive sales forecast summarized as discussed in the previous points above. We forecasted its Services and other as well as the Energy generation and storage segment based on its 4-year historical average growth tapered down by 5% per year as a conservative estimate.Source: Tesla, Khaveen InvestmentsWe derived our average ratios based on a tiered average with each bracket represented by their past 3-year revenue CAGR. However, a significant number of competitors had negative revenue growth.Seeking Alpha, Khaveen InvestmentsSource: Seeking Alpha, Khaveen InvestmentsBased on our model, we obtained a 12-month price target of $1,081, which is a Hold rating for us.Source: Khaveen InvestmentsFurthermore, the price action of Tesla's stock seems to support our valuation calculation. Each time the share price reaches around 10% within our price target, the stock price consolidates.Data by YChartsVerdictTo conclude, as the market leader in the EV market with a 21% sales share, we analyzed its market positioning by examining 106 EV models and determined that it had relatively higher pricing in terms of average prices but also a higher number of EV model variants and better battery efficiency as measured by EV range, which places it in the top right quadrant of our EV comparison chart. Besides that, we also highlighted its advantage in terms of its software and self-driving capabilities and features which we believe could provide it with an edge over competitors. As Tesla expands overseas in Europe and China which combined account for over 85% of the EV market, we expect the company's expansion to support its growth with a projected sales growth of 47.6% in 2022. Additionally, we believe the company's expansion in China which its CEO previously stated to be 50% lower than the US and shift towards in-house could boost its margins going forward and we projected its gross and net margins to reach 43% and 23.5% respectively, assuming its COGS per vehicle continues to decrease by -5.8% through 2026. However, given the lofty stock price, we rate the company as aHoldwith a target price of$1,081.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":471,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9080839009,"gmtCreate":1649863382012,"gmtModify":1676534593284,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9080839009","repostId":"2227618615","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":336,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019112968,"gmtCreate":1648557869195,"gmtModify":1676534353526,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/9019112968","repostId":"1118625922","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":158,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9068656897,"gmtCreate":1651764816519,"gmtModify":1676534965372,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/9068656897","repostId":"1140473336","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":459,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9066975250,"gmtCreate":1651845883070,"gmtModify":1676534982550,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/9066975250","repostId":"1165605318","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":661,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9069372041,"gmtCreate":1651242885290,"gmtModify":1676534876888,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/9069372041","repostId":"1199070862","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":322,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9082830124,"gmtCreate":1650548527634,"gmtModify":1676534749019,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/9082830124","repostId":"2229900971","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":349,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019112277,"gmtCreate":1648557907593,"gmtModify":1676534353542,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"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/901911

Here are five of the fastest-growing large-cap companies to consider for your portfolio.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DDOG\">Datadog</a></h2><p>Software company <b>Datadog</b> ( DDOG 3.94% ) operates a platform that monitors customers' cloud activity and analyzes it to provide insights and data. These insights give Datadog's customers (other companies) valuable information on user experience, security, network status, and more. The company operates as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, thus generating recurring revenue.</p><p>Companies are becoming increasingly digital, moving more parts of their business operations into the cloud, removing the need for on-site servers and storage. Datadog has benefited from this trend, growing revenue 70% to $1.0 billion in 2021. That marked an acceleration from 2020 when revenue increased 66%, a rarity given how many tech stocks saw their growth slow last year as pandemic conditions eased.</p><h2>2. Advanced Micro Devices</h2><p>Many emerging technologies require computing power, and semiconductor company <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> ( <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a> 5.80% ) is poised to help provide the hardware to power applications like supercomputing, 5G, artificial intelligence, and more. AMD has traditionally competed with rival <b>Intel</b>, but AMD has gained ground in recent years due to technological advancements in bringing new chip architectures to market.</p><p>The company generated $16.4 billion in revenue in 2021, up 68% and an impressive leap considering its already large revenue base. AMD also recently closed its massive $50 billion acquisition of Xilinx, which gives it a strong foothold in adaptive computing products and increases AMD's total addressable market to an estimated $135 billion.</p><h2>3. Sea Limited</h2><p>E-commerce, gaming, and digital payments are all "hot" growth industries for investors, and internet conglomerate <b>Sea Limited</b> ( SE -2.76% ) does all three. The company primarily serves Southeast Asia but has expanded to new markets like Latin America and parts of Europe. The company's mobile game Freefire is among the most popular mobile games globally.</p><p>Sea is growing at a blistering pace -- revenue increased 128% last year, extending a multiyear streak of triple-digit top-line gains. That kind of growth won't last forever, but Sea has a lot of levers to pull to drive future growth. Management is guiding for its fintech business to expand 155% this year, which should help offset an expected slowdown in the gaming business.</p><h2>4. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></h2><p>Data is becoming an essential resource for businesses to analyze and learn from. However, most companies have outdated storage methods, often keeping data segregated in various formats and locations. <b>Snowflake</b> ( SNOW 2.40% ) operates a cloud-based platform that enables companies to efficiently store and share data.</p><p>Simplifying that process seems to be solving a massive problem for Snowflake's customers. The company recently closed its fiscal 2022, growing revenue 106% to $1.2 billion. The company has an impressive 178% net revenue retention rate, which means Snowflake's customers are spending much more with the company with each passing year. With just under 6,000 customers, there's a huge market for Snowflake to pick up new customers in the years ahead.</p><h2>5. The Trade Desk</h2><p>Ad money is steadily flowing out of outdated media formats, like broadcast television, and into new digital ones, such as connected TV devices for streaming. <b>The Trade Desk</b> ( TTD 2.64% ) operates <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the leading independent ad-technology exchanges, where companies can buy digital ad campaigns, target them toward a specific audience, and see how their campaigns perform.</p><p>It's not the fastest-growing company on this list -- 2021 revenue was up 43%. But that marked an increase from the previous two fiscal years. There's a significant tailwind in the advertising industry with an estimated $155 billion spent on programmatic ads in 2021, a figure which should keep growing, and The Trade Desk can lean into that opportunity for years to come.</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>These Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet</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\">\nThese Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-25 21:00 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/03/25/these-are-5-of-the-fastest-growing-large-cap-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There's a common thought in the investing universe that you need to take a ton of risk in order to generate strong returns in the stock market.

There's a significant tailwind in the advertising industry with an estimated $155 billion spent on programmatic ads in 2021, a figure which should keep growing, and The Trade Desk can lean into that opportunity for years to come.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9081135836,"gmtCreate":1650209148453,"gmtModify":1676534669240,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9081135836","repostId":"1132172108","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9012966389,"gmtCreate":1649280887549,"gmtModify":1676534481382,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9012966389","repostId":"2225886665","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":423,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010806339,"gmtCreate":1648313791978,"gmtModify":1676534327177,"author":{"id":"4105938675549130","authorId":"4105938675549130","name":"Woolooloo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4105938675549130","authorIdStr":"4105938675549130"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010806339","repostId":"2222853103","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2222853103","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1648299540,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2222853103?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-26 20:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"'I should have done it sooner': Ready to join the Great Resignation and be your own boss?

Know these tax implications first\n</p>\n<p>\n By Bill Bischoff \n</p>\n<p>\n Becoming self-employed won't allow you to write off all your meals as business expenses, or write off the costs of owning or renting a residence that contains your new home office \n</p>\n<p>\n Are you about ready to join the Great Resignation and become self-employed? Yes? OK, but you need to consider the tax implications, which may not be as rosy as you think. Here's what you need to know to make a good decision. \n</p>\n<p>\n First and foremost, don't buy the hype \n</p>\n<p>\n Becoming self-employed won't allow you to write off all your meals as business expenses, deduct the costs of taking your friends out for drinks and to sporting events, deduct all your transportation expenses, and write off the costs of owning or renting a residence that contains your new home office. Sorry about that. \n</p>\n<p>\n While there are some tax advantages to being self-employed, they are underwhelming and should not be a main reason for deciding to go out on your own. \n</p>\n<p>\n The big non-tax disadvantage is you'll have to pay for things that were formerly provided by your employer. That includes health insurance, retirement plan contributions, a ride if you were lucky enough to have a company car, company-paid business trips that included elements of pleasure, meals when you worked late at the office, and so forth. \n</p>\n<p>\n And there is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> big tax disadvantage: the dreaded self-employment <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">$(SE)$</a> tax. \n</p>\n<p>\n Now for some details on the tax issues. \n</p>\n<p>\n The dreaded self-employment tax \n</p>\n<p>\n The SE tax is the way our beloved U.S. Treasury collects Social Security and Medicare taxes on non-wage income from business-related activities. For 2022, the SE tax rate is 15.3% on the first $147,000 of net SE income (gross income from self-employment minus expenses allowed for SE tax purposes). \n</p>\n<p>\n That 15.3% rate is comprised of: \n</p>\n<p>\n * 12.4% for the Social Security tax component of the SE tax plus \n</p>\n<p>\n * 2.9% for the Medicare tax component. \n</p>\n<p>\n * Above the $147,000 threshold, the Social Security tax component goes away, but the 2.9% Medicare tax continues before rising to 3.8% at higher SE income levels ($200,000 if you're unmarried or $250,000 of you're a married joint-filer). The 3.8% rate consists of the \"regular\" 2.9% Medicare tax plus the 0.9% Additional Medicare tax on higher earners. \n</p>\n<p>\n As long as you're an employee, your company pays half of the 12.4% Social Security tax and half of the 2.9% Medicare tax. The other half is withheld from your salary. \n</p>\n<p>\n But if you're self-employed, you have to cover both halves out of your own pocket. Bottom line: if you make good money, the SE tax can be a big number. You'll need to include what you owe for SE tax with your quarterly estimated federal income tax payments to avoid an IRS interest charge penalty. \n</p>\n<p>\n Example: Say you make a net profit of $200,000 from being self-employed in 2022. You'll report your business income and deductible operating expenses on Schedule C of Form 1040. Take the net income from Schedule C and multiply that figure by .9235. The result is $184,700, and that's the net SE income amount that's subject to the SE tax. For 2022, your SE tax bill will be a whopping $23,584. [($147,000 x 12.4%) + ($184,700 x .029%)]. Oof! \n</p>\n<p>\n Sadly, in calculating your net SE income, you don't get to deduct contributions to a self-employed retirement plan, the deduction for a portion of your SE tax, or the deduction for self-employed health insurance premiums. \n</p>\n<p>\n The self-employment tax hit will only get worse \n</p>\n<p>\n Every year, the Social Security tax ceiling goes up based on an inflation adjustment. In turn, your SE tax bill goes up. Last August, the Social Security Administration issued its latest projected ceilings for future years. \n</p>\n<p>\n * $156,000 for 2023. \n</p>\n<p>\n * $162,900 for 2024. \n</p>\n<p>\n * $168,600 for 2025. \n</p>\n<p>\n * $173,300 for 2026. \n</p>\n<p>\n * $180,600 for 2027. \n</p>\n<p>\n Ugh! These numbers are bad enough, but, if you would like to bet me that the actual ceilings won't be significantly higher, I'll take that bet. How much are you willing to lose? \n</p>\n<p>\n Key point: One proposed tax-law change that has been floated would restart the 12.4% Social Security tax on net SE income above $400,000. This is the so-called donut hole approach to increasing the Social Security tax. Over the years, the donut hole would gradually close as the lower edge of the hole is adjusted upward for inflation while the $400,000 upper edge of the hole remains static. Will this unfavorable change get made? Who knows? \n</p>\n<p>\n Partial deduction for self-employment tax \n</p>\n<p>\n In a wee bit of good news, you can deduct half of the 12.4% Social Security tax component of the SE tax and half of the 2.9% Medicare tax component. You need not itemize to claim this deduction. However, you can't deduct any of the additional 0.9% Medicare tax that's imposed on higher levels of net SE income. \n</p>\n<p>\n Set up S corporation to mitigate SE tax \n</p>\n<p>\n If you're willing to go to some trouble to potentially minimize the SE tax bite, consider operating your new shop as an S corporation. I covered this strategy in an earlier column. \n</p>\n<p>\n Deduction for contributions to self-employed retirement plan \n</p>\n<p>\n For the 2022 tax year, a self-employed individual can potentially make a deductible contribution of up to $61,000 to a tax-favored retirement plan. Maybe more if you set up a defined benefit pension plan. Available options include a simplified employee pension <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SEP\">$(SEP)$</a>, a Keogh profit-sharing plan, a solo 401(k) plan, a SIMPLE-IRA, and a defined benefit pension plan. Stay tuned for a future column on this subject. \n</p>\n<p>\n Deduction for self-employed health insurance premiums \n</p>\n<p>\n This write-off was also covered in a previous column. See here. If you qualify, you need not itemize to claim this deduction. \n</p>\n<p>\n Deductions for business meals \n</p>\n<p>\n For 2022, you can deduct 100% of business meals provided by restaurants. After this year, the deductible percentage will fall back to 50% unless Congress extends the 100% deal. For details, see this previous Tax Guy column. \n</p>\n<p>\n Combine heavy SUV, pickup, or van with home office for double tax savings \n</p>\n<p>\n I covered this strategy in another earlier column. See here. \n</p>\n<p>\n Qualified business income (QBI) deduction \n</p>\n<p>\n The qualified business income (QBI) deduction was a centerpiece of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). For 2018-2025, the QBI deduction is available to eligible individuals, trusts, and estates, but it's not available to C corporations or their shareholders. \n</p>\n<p>\n The QBI deduction can be up to 20% of: (1) QBI earned from a sole proprietorship or single-member LLC (SMLLC) that's treated as a sole proprietorship for federal income tax purposes plus (2) QBI passed through from a pass-through business entity, meaning a partnership, LLC classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or S corporation. Pass-through business entities report their tax items to their owners who then take them into into account on their owner-level returns. The QBI deduction, when allowed, is then written off at the owner level. \n</p>\n<p>\n Key Point: In this article, we will focus on individual taxpayers who can claim QBI deductions, with the understanding that essentially the same considerations apply to trusts and estates. \n</p>\n<p>\n Through 2025, the QBI deduction is available to eligible self-employed individuals. \n</p>\n<p>\n The deduction can be up to 20% of net income earned from a sole proprietorship business or single-member LLC business that's treated as a sole proprietorship for federal income tax purposes. Great, but the QBI deduction rules are complicated, and the deduction can be phased out at higher income levels. Let me get back to you with details in a future column. \n</p>\n<p>\n The bottom line \n</p>\n<p>\n There you have it: most of what you need to know about the tax implications of self-employed status. If you're still game, go for it.

Know these tax implications first\n\n\n By Bill Bischoff \n\n\n Becoming self-employed won't allow you to write off all your meals as business expenses, or write off the costs of owning or renting a residence that contains your new home office \n\n\n Are you about ready to join the Great Resignation and become self-employed? Yes? OK, but you need to consider the tax implications, which may not be as rosy as you think. Here's what you need to know to make a good decision. \n\n\n First and foremost, don't buy the hype \n\n\n Becoming self-employed won't allow you to write off all your meals as business expenses, deduct the costs of taking your friends out for drinks and to sporting events, deduct all your transportation expenses, and write off the costs of owning or renting a residence that contains your new home office. Sorry about that. \n\n\n While there are some tax advantages to being self-employed, they are underwhelming and should not be a main reason for deciding to go out on your own. \n\n\n The big non-tax disadvantage is you'll have to pay for things that were formerly provided by your employer. That includes health insurance, retirement plan contributions, a ride if you were lucky enough to have a company car, company-paid business trips that included elements of pleasure, meals when you worked late at the office, and so forth. \n\n\n And there is one big tax disadvantage: the dreaded self-employment $(SE)$ tax. \n\n\n Now for some details on the tax issues. \n\n\n The dreaded self-employment tax \n\n\n The SE tax is the way our beloved U.S. Treasury collects Social Security and Medicare taxes on non-wage income from business-related activities. For 2022, the SE tax rate is 15.3% on the first $147,000 of net SE income (gross income from self-employment minus expenses allowed for SE tax purposes). \n\n\n That 15.3% rate is comprised of: \n\n\n * 12.4% for the Social Security tax component of the SE tax plus \n\n\n * 2.9% for the Medicare tax component. \n\n\n * Above the $147,000 threshold, the Social Security tax component goes away, but the 2.9% Medicare tax continues before rising to 3.8% at higher SE income levels ($200,000 if you're unmarried or $250,000 of you're a married joint-filer). The 3.8% rate consists of the \"regular\" 2.9% Medicare tax plus the 0.9% Additional Medicare tax on higher earners. \n\n\n As long as you're an employee, your company pays half of the 12.4% Social Security tax and half of the 2.9% Medicare tax. The other half is withheld from your salary. \n\n\n But if you're self-employed, you have to cover both halves out of your own pocket. Bottom line: if you make good money, the SE tax can be a big number. You'll need to include what you owe for SE tax with your quarterly estimated federal income tax payments to avoid an IRS interest charge penalty. \n\n\n Example: Say you make a net profit of $200,000 from being self-employed in 2022. You'll report your business income and deductible operating expenses on Schedule C of Form 1040. Take the net income from Schedule C and multiply that figure by .9235. The result is $184,700, and that's the net SE income amount that's subject to the SE tax. For 2022, your SE tax bill will be a whopping $23,584. [($147,000 x 12.4%) + ($184,700 x .029%)]. Oof! \n\n\n Sadly, in calculating your net SE income, you don't get to deduct contributions to a self-employed retirement plan, the deduction for a portion of your SE tax, or the deduction for self-employed health insurance premiums. \n\n\n The self-employment tax hit will only get worse \n\n\n Every year, the Social Security tax ceiling goes up based on an inflation adjustment. In turn, your SE tax bill goes up. Last August, the Social Security Administration issued its latest projected ceilings for future years. \n\n\n * $156,000 for 2023. \n\n\n * $162,900 for 2024. \n\n\n * $168,600 for 2025. \n\n\n * $173,300 for 2026. \n\n\n * $180,600 for 2027. \n\n\n Ugh! These numbers are bad enough, but, if you would like to bet me that the actual ceilings won't be significantly higher, I'll take that bet. How much are you willing to lose? \n\n\n Key point: One proposed tax-law change that has been floated would restart the 12.4% Social Security tax on net SE income above $400,000. This is the so-called donut hole approach to increasing the Social Security tax. Over the years, the donut hole would gradually close as the lower edge of the hole is adjusted upward for inflation while the $400,000 upper edge of the hole remains static. Will this unfavorable change get made? Who knows? \n\n\n Partial deduction for self-employment tax \n\n\n In a wee bit of good news, you can deduct half of the 12.4% Social Security tax component of the SE tax and half of the 2.9% Medicare tax component. You need not itemize to claim this deduction. However, you can't deduct any of the additional 0.9% Medicare tax that's imposed on higher levels of net SE income. \n\n\n Set up S corporation to mitigate SE tax \n\n\n If you're willing to go to some trouble to potentially minimize the SE tax bite, consider operating your new shop as an S corporation. I covered this strategy in an earlier column. \n\n\n Deduction for contributions to self-employed retirement plan \n\n\n For the 2022 tax year, a self-employed individual can potentially make a deductible contribution of up to $61,000 to a tax-favored retirement plan. Maybe more if you set up a defined benefit pension plan. Available options include a simplified employee pension $(SEP)$, a Keogh profit-sharing plan, a solo 401(k) plan, a SIMPLE-IRA, and a defined benefit pension plan. Stay tuned for a future column on this subject. \n\n\n Deduction for self-employed health insurance premiums \n\n\n This write-off was also covered in a previous column. See here. If you qualify, you need not itemize to claim this deduction. \n\n\n Deductions for business meals \n\n\n For 2022, you can deduct 100% of business meals provided by restaurants. After this year, the deductible percentage will fall back to 50% unless Congress extends the 100% deal. For details, see this previous Tax Guy column. \n\n\n Combine heavy SUV, pickup, or van with home office for double tax savings \n\n\n I covered this strategy in another earlier column. See here. \n\n\n Qualified business income (QBI) deduction \n\n\n The qualified business income (QBI) deduction was a centerpiece of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). For 2018-2025, the QBI deduction is available to eligible individuals, trusts, and estates, but it's not available to C corporations or their shareholders. \n\n\n The QBI deduction can be up to 20% of: (1) QBI earned from a sole proprietorship or single-member LLC (SMLLC) that's treated as a sole proprietorship for federal income tax purposes plus (2) QBI passed through from a pass-through business entity, meaning a partnership, LLC classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or S corporation. Pass-through business entities report their tax items to their owners who then take them into into account on their owner-level returns. The QBI deduction, when allowed, is then written off at the owner level. \n\n\n Key Point: In this article, we will focus on individual taxpayers who can claim QBI deductions, with the understanding that essentially the same considerations apply to trusts and estates. \n\n\n Through 2025, the QBI deduction is available to eligible self-employed individuals. \n\n\n The deduction can be up to 20% of net income earned from a sole proprietorship business or single-member LLC business that's treated as a sole proprietorship for federal income tax purposes. Great, but the QBI deduction rules are complicated, and the deduction can be phased out at higher income levels. Let me get back to you with details in a future column. \n\n\n The bottom line \n\n\n There you have it: most of what you need to know about the tax implications of self-employed status. If you're still game, go for it. Years ago, I did, and I should have done it sooner. \n\n\n -Bill Bischoff \n\n\n \n\n\n$(END)$ Dow Jones Newswires\n\n\n March 26, 2022 08:59 ET (12:59 GMT)\n\n\n Copyright (c) 2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":215,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
