The stock is currently up 18% on the day.Despite the mixed bag that Meta’s earnings presented, there’s still quite a bit of reason to like Meta. I’m bullish on Meta, thanks to the sheer potential of what it represents and how it may be ready to go well beyond Facebook itself.The last 12 months for Meta share trading showed that it needed a win, and boy did it get one. While spending most of 2021 in the $300-$350 range with some breakout points, an outright collapse kicked off in February. That plunge saw Meta go from a little over $320 on February 1 to just under $170 on April 27.The latest news lit a fire under investors, as the company presented a mixed bag of earnings news. The company turned in $2.72 per share in earnings, which handily beat the $2.56 per share expected by a Refinitiv consensus.The bad news came with revenue, oddly enough, as the $27.91 billion Meta posted proved just shy of the Refinitiv consensus that looked for $28.2 billion in revenue.Wall Street’s TakeTurning to Wall Street, Meta Platforms has a Moderate Buy consensus rating. That’s based on 28 Buys, eight Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months. The average Meta Platforms price target of $304.29 implies 47% upside potential.Analyst price targets range from a low of $212 per share to a high of $466 per share.Investor Sentiment Mostly in DeclineInvestor sentiment, however, seems to be turning against Meta Platforms.The biggest indicator against Meta right now is clearly insider trading. Insider transactions have been heavily weighted to the sell side for the last year. The last three months have been a moderate improvement but are still heavily sell-based.For the last year, sell transactions led buy transactions by 193 to 36. The last three months are visibly better, however, with sell transactions leading buys 19 to nine.The TipRanks 13-F Tracker, meanwhile, shows that selling is also a big position for hedge funds. Hedge funds continued a sell-off of Meta Platforms stock that has been going on for most of the last year now.Hedge Funds cut their FB position by 7.1 million shares in the time between September 2021 and December 2021. They also cut their position between March-June 2021 and June-September 2021.As for retail investors, those who hold portfolios on TipRanks showed a willingness to buy in. Those investors are perhaps the only ones particularly interested right now.In the last seven days, Tipranks portfolios holding Meta Platforms have notched up about 0.1%. However, in the last 30 days, portfolios with the stock have added 1.9%. Meta Platforms’ dividend history, meanwhile, is nonexistent.The Early Days of the MetaverseGranted, virtual reality itself is nothing new. We’ve had virtual reality ever since the early 1990s and the blocky polygonal hell that was “Dactyl Nightmare.” The rise of modern computing, however, has elevated the concept substantially.Where 30 years ago, we considered it fine advancement indeed to fire blocky projectiles at equally blocky pterodactyls, today we have such platforms as VRChat, where “blocky” is about the last word used to describe the graphics therein.Many think that Meta Platforms is the generator of the Metaverse, but that’s an incomplete definition at best. The Metaverse commonly includes a range of platforms, not just Meta’s own, but it also includes such things as Minecraft and Roblox (RBLX).Essentially, if you’re confused about just what the Metaverse is, remember this; no one really knows. It’s still under construction. Trying to define it is like trying to define a lump of clay before it’s worked.Meta Platforms, meanwhile, looks to be one of the biggest players therein, and with good reason. This is potentially where the concept of widespread virtual reality starts up in earnest, and Meta Platforms is eager to land a stake in that startup early on. Corporations are also eager to get a slice of Meta.Not so long ago, I talked about Wendy’s (WEN) and its ambitions therein, which featured basketball games played with a Baconator. Nike (NKE) is moving into the Metaverse as well, with lawsuits aimed at stopping the unauthorized trade of its shoe images as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Disney (DIS) is working on a package of its own for the Metaverse frontier.Yet, Mark Zuckerberg plans to continue frantically spending on Metaverse development. So much so, in fact, that Meta’s Reality Labs division currently has about 17,000 employees on the payroll, and the division lost about $3 billion last quarter. Not “as of” last quarter, but just in that quarter.The demand is there. Major corporations don’t start coding entire environments for something they figure will fizzle out and boil off into a cloud of short-term fad. They’re expecting this to likely become a big part of the frontier, and they want to have a piece of that action.Concluding ViewsThe good news about Meta Platforms is that it’s clearly a long-term proposition. All of these upswings and downdrafts we see today will likely end up as patterns of growth later on. Great, but that growth is still likely a long way off. Years, perhaps. Potentially, decades.Right now, it would be easy to say that Meta Platforms is at a solid entry point position. It’s below even its lowest price target and offers a substantial slice of upside potential. If Meta ultimately becomes the leading platform in the Metaverse, this could put it in an excellent position.If the Metaverse ultimately takes off the way some expect—or perhaps, hope—it will, a position in Meta today could be a position in the biggest virtual reality platform of tomorrow. The sheer amount of insider selling may leave some unnerved, but they’re likely responding to short-term trends as opposed to longer-term matters.I’m bullish on Meta because it may be a speculative buy with a very long-term payback. However, it’s also a speculative buy with a massive potential payoff. This is one for the very patient and the adventurous at the same time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019168665,"gmtCreate":1648561042123,"gmtModify":1676534353966,"author":{"id":"4106314756682830","authorId":"4106314756682830","name":"HRS","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I bet on nvdia&nbsp;","listText":"I bet on nvdia&nbsp;","text":"I bet on nvdia","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9019168665","repostId":"9019338664","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9019338664,"gmtCreate":1648525596115,"gmtModify":1676534350179,"author":{"id":"9000000000000439","authorId":"9000000000000439","name":"TigerObserver","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f3a05d038882153678ee817929431fc","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"title":"The Hottest Stocks from Different Platforms (29th, Mar)","htmlText":"Hi, Tigers!

This figure is less than the S$52 billion drawdown President Halimah Yacob agreed to for FY2020.Assurance Package to offset GST hike increased to S$6.6 billion, with cash payouts for all S'porean adultsAll adult Singaporeans can expect cash payouts of up to S$1,600 over the next five years. Lower income elderlies are also eligible for additional payments totalling up to S$900.These are part of a S$640 million enhancement to the Assurance Package launched to cushion the hike in GST. The package includes more U-Save rebates, MediSave top-ups, CDC Vouchers and community grants.GST increase to be staggered over 2 years, starting from Jan 2023GST will be increased progressively, rising to 8 per cent with effect from Jan 1, 2023, and going up again to 9 per cent in 2024, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong announced.Mr Wong said that the decision to stagger the increase was made in view of the prevailing overall situation, such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and inflation outlook, while balancing them with pressing revenue needs.High earners to contribute more as taxes on personal income, property and luxury cars go upFinance Minister Lawrence Wong said there is room for those who earn more to contribute more. Wealth taxes, he said, help to recirculate a portion of the wealth stock into the economy.Changes to the property tax will not affect 93 per cent of owner-occupied property, including all HDB flats.Younger workers eligible for Workfare, higher CPF basic retirement sum among moves to strengthen social compactThe Workfare Income Supplement scheme will be extended to younger workers, aged 30 to 34. The qualifying income for the Workfare Income Supplement scheme will also be raised from S$2,300 to S$2,500.Schemes to help children from lower-income families like KickSTART and UPLIFT will also be expanded nationwide to benefit more families.Carbon tax to go up 5 times to S$25 per tonne in 2024, as Govt aims for net-zero emissions by mid-centuryThis will lead to an increase of about S$4 per month in utility bills for an average household living in a four-room HDB flat, though additional rebates in the form of GST Vouchers will be provided to cushion the impact, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said.Investments in digital capabilities, people development including 6G tech and helping mid-career workersFinance Minister Lawrence Wong said Singapore needs to stay ahead in the race by investing in various capabilities. These include the digital realm, innovation and the nation's people, he added.As a first priority, the Government will spend S$200 million in the years ahead to build digital capabilities in business and workers. Other objectives include improving infrastructure, making innovation pervasive and strengthening local enterprises.Govt to strengthen 'collective risk sharing' and social compact, with the better-off contributing moreFinance Minister Lawrence Wong described a social compact for Singapore in which every Singaporean has a stake in society, and that “everyone’s contributions matter”.Singapore will not follow the approach of welfare states in Europe, said Mr Wong, but the Government will need to invest more in people and social infrastructure in the coming decade.S$560m immediate support for households via CDC vouchers, utilities rebates and education top-upsFinance Minister Lawrence Wong said that the Government is closely monitoring the risk of rising inflation and cost of living, and he recognises the immediate concerns of businesses and households.\"(We) will provide significant additional support in this Budget to help them tide over the current period of higher prices,\" he added.S$500m immediate relief for businesses, including one-off cash payout for SMEs worst hit by Covid-19 curbsA S$500 million Jobs and Business Support Package, which will provide targeted help for workers and firms hit hard by Covid-19 restrictions, will be rolled out this year. The package will include a new small business grant with eligible companies receiving S$1,000 per local worker, up to S$10,000.The Jobs Growth Incentive scheme will also be extended for six months but only for companies that hire mature workers, ex-offenders or persons with disabilities.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":357,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":308546026168384,"gmtCreate":1716364652708,"gmtModify":1716367165679,"author":{"id":"4106314756682830","authorId":"4106314756682830","name":"HRS","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/308546026168384","repostId":"1185710363","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":39,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":308604229599368,"gmtCreate":1716364671047,"gmtModify":1716364673530,"author":{"id":"4106314756682830","authorId":"4106314756682830","name":"HRS","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/308604229599368","repostId":"2437060854","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2437060854","pubTimestamp":1716356732,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2437060854?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-05-22 13:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's Why Nvidia Stock Could Sustain Its Stunning Bull Run After May 22","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2437060854","media":"MotleyFool","summary":"This year is shaping up to be a record-breaking one for$Nvidia(NVDA)$investors as shares of the semiconductor giant have already shot up more than 91%, and there is a good chance that the stock's rall","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>This year is shaping up to be a record-breaking one for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a> investors as shares of the semiconductor giant have already shot up more than 91%, and there is a good chance that the stock&#39;s rally could get a nice shot in the arm once Nvidia reports its first-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings on Wednesday, May 22.</p><p>Nvidia is heading into its next quarterly report riding on favorable developments within the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market, which can help it crush Wall Street&#39;s expectations.

Investors, therefore, are getting a relatively good deal on Nvidia stock right now, and they should consider buying it since its red-hot rally seems here to stay thanks to the catalysts discussed above.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9069055457,"gmtCreate":1651207621635,"gmtModify":1676534871137,"author":{"id":"4106314756682830","authorId":"4106314756682830","name":"HRS","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"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/9069055457","repostId":"1110857506","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1110857506","pubTimestamp":1651202214,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1110857506?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-04-29 11:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta Platforms: A Long-Term Metaverse Leader?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110857506","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Facebook’s parent company, Meta Platforms , turned in its earnings report, and the results ignited a","content":"<div>\n<p>Facebook’s parent company, Meta Platforms , turned in its earnings report, and the results ignited a firestorm of buying from investors.

The stock is currently up 18% on the day.Despite the mixed bag that Meta’s earnings presented, there’s still quite a bit of reason to like Meta. I’m bullish on Meta, thanks to the sheer potential of what it represents and how it may be ready to go well beyond Facebook itself.The last 12 months for Meta share trading showed that it needed a win, and boy did it get one. While spending most of 2021 in the $300-$350 range with some breakout points, an outright collapse kicked off in February. That plunge saw Meta go from a little over $320 on February 1 to just under $170 on April 27.The latest news lit a fire under investors, as the company presented a mixed bag of earnings news. The company turned in $2.72 per share in earnings, which handily beat the $2.56 per share expected by a Refinitiv consensus.The bad news came with revenue, oddly enough, as the $27.91 billion Meta posted proved just shy of the Refinitiv consensus that looked for $28.2 billion in revenue.Wall Street’s TakeTurning to Wall Street, Meta Platforms has a Moderate Buy consensus rating. That’s based on 28 Buys, eight Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months. The average Meta Platforms price target of $304.29 implies 47% upside potential.Analyst price targets range from a low of $212 per share to a high of $466 per share.Investor Sentiment Mostly in DeclineInvestor sentiment, however, seems to be turning against Meta Platforms.The biggest indicator against Meta right now is clearly insider trading. Insider transactions have been heavily weighted to the sell side for the last year. The last three months have been a moderate improvement but are still heavily sell-based.For the last year, sell transactions led buy transactions by 193 to 36. The last three months are visibly better, however, with sell transactions leading buys 19 to nine.The TipRanks 13-F Tracker, meanwhile, shows that selling is also a big position for hedge funds. Hedge funds continued a sell-off of Meta Platforms stock that has been going on for most of the last year now.Hedge Funds cut their FB position by 7.1 million shares in the time between September 2021 and December 2021. They also cut their position between March-June 2021 and June-September 2021.As for retail investors, those who hold portfolios on TipRanks showed a willingness to buy in. Those investors are perhaps the only ones particularly interested right now.In the last seven days, Tipranks portfolios holding Meta Platforms have notched up about 0.1%. However, in the last 30 days, portfolios with the stock have added 1.9%. Meta Platforms’ dividend history, meanwhile, is nonexistent.The Early Days of the MetaverseGranted, virtual reality itself is nothing new. We’ve had virtual reality ever since the early 1990s and the blocky polygonal hell that was “Dactyl Nightmare.” The rise of modern computing, however, has elevated the concept substantially.Where 30 years ago, we considered it fine advancement indeed to fire blocky projectiles at equally blocky pterodactyls, today we have such platforms as VRChat, where “blocky” is about the last word used to describe the graphics therein.Many think that Meta Platforms is the generator of the Metaverse, but that’s an incomplete definition at best. The Metaverse commonly includes a range of platforms, not just Meta’s own, but it also includes such things as Minecraft and Roblox (RBLX).Essentially, if you’re confused about just what the Metaverse is, remember this; no one really knows. It’s still under construction. Trying to define it is like trying to define a lump of clay before it’s worked.Meta Platforms, meanwhile, looks to be one of the biggest players therein, and with good reason. This is potentially where the concept of widespread virtual reality starts up in earnest, and Meta Platforms is eager to land a stake in that startup early on. Corporations are also eager to get a slice of Meta.Not so long ago, I talked about Wendy’s (WEN) and its ambitions therein, which featured basketball games played with a Baconator. Nike (NKE) is moving into the Metaverse as well, with lawsuits aimed at stopping the unauthorized trade of its shoe images as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Disney (DIS) is working on a package of its own for the Metaverse frontier.Yet, Mark Zuckerberg plans to continue frantically spending on Metaverse development. So much so, in fact, that Meta’s Reality Labs division currently has about 17,000 employees on the payroll, and the division lost about $3 billion last quarter. Not “as of” last quarter, but just in that quarter.The demand is there. Major corporations don’t start coding entire environments for something they figure will fizzle out and boil off into a cloud of short-term fad. They’re expecting this to likely become a big part of the frontier, and they want to have a piece of that action.Concluding ViewsThe good news about Meta Platforms is that it’s clearly a long-term proposition. All of these upswings and downdrafts we see today will likely end up as patterns of growth later on. Great, but that growth is still likely a long way off. Years, perhaps. Potentially, decades.Right now, it would be easy to say that Meta Platforms is at a solid entry point position. It’s below even its lowest price target and offers a substantial slice of upside potential. If Meta ultimately becomes the leading platform in the Metaverse, this could put it in an excellent position.If the Metaverse ultimately takes off the way some expect—or perhaps, hope—it will, a position in Meta today could be a position in the biggest virtual reality platform of tomorrow. The sheer amount of insider selling may leave some unnerved, but they’re likely responding to short-term trends as opposed to longer-term matters.I’m bullish on Meta because it may be a speculative buy with a very long-term payback. However, it’s also a speculative buy with a massive potential payoff. This is one for the very patient and the adventurous at the same time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019168665,"gmtCreate":1648561042123,"gmtModify":1676534353966,"author":{"id":"4106314756682830","authorId":"4106314756682830","name":"HRS","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I bet on nvdia&nbsp;","listText":"I bet on nvdia&nbsp;","text":"I bet on nvdia","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9019168665","repostId":"9019338664","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9019338664,"gmtCreate":1648525596115,"gmtModify":1676534350179,"author":{"id":"9000000000000439","authorId":"9000000000000439","name":"TigerObserver","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f3a05d038882153678ee817929431fc","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"title":"The Hottest Stocks from Different Platforms (29th, Mar)","htmlText":"Hi, Tigers!
