(NYSE:NIO) and XPeng Inc. (NYSE:XPEV) enjoyed a solid recovery in November. XPEV posted a 1M total return of 55.5% as the market forced bearish investors/weak holders to flee at its October lows. In contrast, NIO posted a 1M total return of 24.5%, as buying sentiments returned strongly to China&#39;s embattled pure-play BEV makers.</p><p>Notwithstanding, Chinese EV bears will point out that both stocks remain well below their starting point in 2022. Accordingly, XPEV&#39;s YTD total return of -80% suggests buyers have been decimated, while NIO posted a better YTD performance of -62%.</p><p>Hence, we believe it&#39;s opportune to update investors on whether the buying opportunity on the recent rally still has legs, as China seems to be progressively easing its COVID restrictions.</p><p>Our assessment indicates that one company has executed much better as China&#39;s economy worsened in 2022. China&#39;s stringent COVID restrictions and harsh property cooling measures have weakened its GDP growth significantly. Accordingly, China&#39;s manufacturing PMI also came below consensus estimates, behooving China to accelerate its reopening moves.</p><p>Coupled with heightened competition, higher input costs, supply chain disruptions, and a weaker economy, NIO has proved its mettle against XPeng. However, both companies remain unprofitable. With a narrowed route toward external financing, given the current market conditions, we believe investors will likely focus on the company that has executed better, with clearer visibility toward reaching profitability.</p><p>We believe the competitive landscape would likely intensify further. Legacy OEMs such as General Motors (GM), Ford (F), and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY) have telegraphed ambitious plans to assume EV leadership by 2025/26. In addition, China&#39;s NEV leader BYD Company (OTCPK:BYDDY) has continued to penetrate the EV market further, consolidating its position as the global NEV leader (including hybrids) in Q3&#39;22, ahead of Tesla (TSLA).</p><p>Therefore, we urge investors to consider the business models and execution prowess of NIO and XPeng carefully as they take on profitable leading auto behemoths as they chart their path to profitability.</p><p>We discuss why we continue to put our bet in NIO as a potential multi-bagger speculative opportunity ahead of XPEV.</p><p>Maintain Speculative Buy on NIO and Hold on XPEV.</p><h2>Competition In China Has Intensified</h2><p>China&#39;s economic malaise has battered its consumer discretionary spending, including automobiles. Yet, China&#39;s leading NEV makers have made robust progress in 2022.</p><p>For instance, BYD delivered more than 230K of NEV in November, notching another monthly record, up nearly 153% YoY. Notably, BYD has continued to post consistent MoM gains since April 2022, corroborating the resilience of its highly vertically-integrated operating model.</p><p>Moreover, Volkswagen has continued to invest heavily in its prized Chinese market. General Motors have also stepped up on its endeavor, looking to introduce 15 EV models for the Chinese market by 2025.</p><p>Hence, we postulate that the competitive landscape in China could indicate that some unprofitable/less profitable upstarts could be squeezed out of the leading pack subsequently. With NIO and XPeng continuing to struggle for profitability, it&#39;s vital to assess which company could emerge as the stronger competitor to take on these behemoths.</p><p>Furthermore, China&#39;s NEV subsidies are due to be eliminated by 2023, even though Chinese media reported that there could be some revisions. Notwithstanding, it could neutralize/lessen a constructive tailwind that has driven sales over the past few years.</p><p>Therefore the market outlook remains uncertain while competition has intensified. As such, nothing short of excellent execution is required to navigate these challenges. And it&#39;s one that XPeng has fallen short in 2022.</p><h2>XPeng Restructures</h2><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61e462b6ef38ba6c0893c716ae23dcdc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>XPeng Vehicle margins % (Company filings)</span></p><p>Given XPeng&#39;s low vehicle margins operating model, it&#39;s imperative for the company to continue posting robust production and deliveries growth to benefit significantly from fixed costs leverage.</p><p>However, XPeng&#39;s massive Q3 deliveries disappointment highlighted the execution weakness in a challenging macro and supply chain environment, in which leaders BYD and NIO performed admirably.</p><p>With a vehicle margin of just 11.6% in Q3 (up from Q2&#39;s 9.1%), XPeng&#39;s profitability has improved QoQ.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e172d47aa15683ff6c89cf5c9e8dbd2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>XPeng Deliveries (Company filings)</span></p><p>However, the company posted deliveries growth of just 15% in FQ3; a massive downshift from FQ2&#39;s 98%. As such, we believe it triggered a rethinking of its strategies, leading the company to announce an organizational restructuring, as CEO He Xiaoping emphasized:</p><blockquote>Frankly, we&#39;re going through a very challenging period in pursuing our long-term goals. In response, we recently conducted an in-depth strategic review and implemented organizational restructure. As market competition intensifies, we&#39;ll sharpen our marketing to highlight the great value in our industry-leading smart and electrification technologies and further enhance our branding, sales, and service capabilities. (XPeng FQ3&#39;22 earnings call)</blockquote><p>Hence, we believe there&#39;s little doubt that the increasingly competitive landscape hammered XPeng&#39;s execution. Therefore, moving forward, we think it&#39;s better to watch the action from the sidelines unless you have a very high conviction in XPeng&#39;s management.</p><p>XPeng announced October and November deliveries of 5.1K and 5.81K, respectively. As such, the company needs to deliver about 9.59K of NEV (midpoint) in Q4, predicated on the ramp of its G9. XPeng emphasized: &#34;The Company expects that deliveries will significantly increase in December 2022 as G9&#39;s production ramp-up accelerates under normalized operating conditions.&#34;</p><p>We believe that XPEV&#39;s battering toward its October lows has likely reflected significant pessimism. But, we don&#39;t think the recent rally is sustainable, as its price action suggests a massive covering rally.</p><p>As such, we urge investors thinking of cutting exposure to leverage on the recent recovery to take some risks off the table and rotate.</p><h2>Rotate To NIO<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b388563a2b413a07256e586ffbaa59a0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NIO Deliveries (Company filings)</span></p></h2><p>NIO posted 14.18K in NEV deliveries for November, up nearly 41% MoM. As such, NIO demonstrated that its premium EV strategy is working well, despite China&#39;s economic malaise.</p><p>While China&#39;s COVID restrictions have impacted its production cadence, we believe it could be less material moving forward as China progressively eases.</p><p>Hence, NIO should be able to focus primarily on its execution as it looks to deliver its Q4 guidance of 45.5K NEVs (midpoint). The company appears confident in its recent deliveries outlook as NIO emphasized: &#34;NIO will further accelerate the production and delivery in December 2022.&#34;</p><p>NIO CEO William Li also telegraphed recently why it&#39;s critical for NIO to remain deeply entrenched as one of China&#39;s leading NEV leaders, given intensifying competition. Li accentuated:</p><blockquote>If a company is squeezed into the second tier in the final round [of competition in 2024/25], it is basically impossible for it to catch up to the first tier if it wants to. You can only be a second-tier languishing, barely alive person. - CnEVPost</blockquote><p>Therefore, we believe it&#39;s no surprise that the timeline aligns well with the milestones indicated by the legacy OEMs makers as they transform into EV companies.</p><p>Don&#39;t assume these OEM makers are &#34;dead&#34; yet, as they invest profits from their ICE segments to take on unprofitable EV makers. The battle is far from over, and we believe only the fittest EV makers could survive the increasingly competitive landscape.</p><h2>Is NIO Or XPEV Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</h2><p><i>Maintain Speculative Buy on NIO and Hold on XPEV.</i></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbee3aba450db5a7c84dee25b0094d59\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>XPEV price chart (weekly) (TradingView)</span></p><p>The market had gotten XPEV spot on, knowing that it could face significant competitive pressures that could impact its operating model considerably.</p><p>As such, the market&#39;s battering from its June highs has likely reflected its positioning. Hence, the recent sharp rally from its October lows resembled a covering move from bearish investors taking profit and cutting exposure.</p><p>As such, we urge investors not to join this rally but consider taking the opportunity to take some risks off the table.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/315a624b01e18068ea47037b78f4f8b6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NIO price chart (weekly) (TradingView)</span></p><p>NIO&#39;s price action looks much more robust than XPEV, with no clear signs of a massive covering rally. Therefore, buyers are likely accumulating, trapping bearish investors at its long-term support and holding that defense line constructively.</p><p>Hence, we believe the opportunity for a mean-reversion rally for NIO is still attractive at these levels. XPEV investors who decide to cut exposure can consider rotating some exposure to NIO to take them toward the next stage of the competition in China&#39;s increasingly competitive EV market.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>NIO And XPeng: Don't Choose The One Getting Squeezed Out</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\">\nNIO And XPeng: Don't Choose The One Getting Squeezed Out\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-04 10:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562162-nio-vs-xpeng-dont-choose-one-getting-squeezed-out><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>ThesisLeading Chinese pure-play EV makers NIO Inc.

And it's one that XPeng has fallen short in 2022.XPeng RestructuresXPeng Vehicle margins % (Company filings)Given XPeng's low vehicle margins operating model, it's imperative for the company to continue posting robust production and deliveries growth to benefit significantly from fixed costs leverage.However, XPeng's massive Q3 deliveries disappointment highlighted the execution weakness in a challenging macro and supply chain environment, in which leaders BYD and NIO performed admirably.With a vehicle margin of just 11.6% in Q3 (up from Q2's 9.1%), XPeng's profitability has improved QoQ.XPeng Deliveries (Company filings)However, the company posted deliveries growth of just 15% in FQ3; a massive downshift from FQ2's 98%. As such, we believe it triggered a rethinking of its strategies, leading the company to announce an organizational restructuring, as CEO He Xiaoping emphasized:Frankly, we're going through a very challenging period in pursuing our long-term goals. In response, we recently conducted an in-depth strategic review and implemented organizational restructure. As market competition intensifies, we'll sharpen our marketing to highlight the great value in our industry-leading smart and electrification technologies and further enhance our branding, sales, and service capabilities. (XPeng FQ3'22 earnings call)Hence, we believe there's little doubt that the increasingly competitive landscape hammered XPeng's execution. Therefore, moving forward, we think it's better to watch the action from the sidelines unless you have a very high conviction in XPeng's management.XPeng announced October and November deliveries of 5.1K and 5.81K, respectively. As such, the company needs to deliver about 9.59K of NEV (midpoint) in Q4, predicated on the ramp of its G9. XPeng emphasized: \"The Company expects that deliveries will significantly increase in December 2022 as G9's production ramp-up accelerates under normalized operating conditions.\"We believe that XPEV's battering toward its October lows has likely reflected significant pessimism. But, we don't think the recent rally is sustainable, as its price action suggests a massive covering rally.As such, we urge investors thinking of cutting exposure to leverage on the recent recovery to take some risks off the table and rotate.Rotate To NIONIO Deliveries (Company filings)NIO posted 14.18K in NEV deliveries for November, up nearly 41% MoM. As such, NIO demonstrated that its premium EV strategy is working well, despite China's economic malaise.While China's COVID restrictions have impacted its production cadence, we believe it could be less material moving forward as China progressively eases.Hence, NIO should be able to focus primarily on its execution as it looks to deliver its Q4 guidance of 45.5K NEVs (midpoint). The company appears confident in its recent deliveries outlook as NIO emphasized: \"NIO will further accelerate the production and delivery in December 2022.\"NIO CEO William Li also telegraphed recently why it's critical for NIO to remain deeply entrenched as one of China's leading NEV leaders, given intensifying competition. Li accentuated:If a company is squeezed into the second tier in the final round [of competition in 2024/25], it is basically impossible for it to catch up to the first tier if it wants to. You can only be a second-tier languishing, barely alive person. - CnEVPostTherefore, we believe it's no surprise that the timeline aligns well with the milestones indicated by the legacy OEMs makers as they transform into EV companies.Don't assume these OEM makers are \"dead\" yet, as they invest profits from their ICE segments to take on unprofitable EV makers. The battle is far from over, and we believe only the fittest EV makers could survive the increasingly competitive landscape.Is NIO Or XPEV Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?Maintain Speculative Buy on NIO and Hold on XPEV.XPEV price chart (weekly) (TradingView)The market had gotten XPEV spot on, knowing that it could face significant competitive pressures that could impact its operating model considerably.As such, the market's battering from its June highs has likely reflected its positioning. Hence, the recent sharp rally from its October lows resembled a covering move from bearish investors taking profit and cutting exposure.As such, we urge investors not to join this rally but consider taking the opportunity to take some risks off the table.NIO price chart (weekly) (TradingView)NIO's price action looks much more robust than XPEV, with no clear signs of a massive covering rally. Therefore, buyers are likely accumulating, trapping bearish investors at its long-term support and holding that defense line constructively.Hence, we believe the opportunity for a mean-reversion rally for NIO is still attractive at these levels. XPEV investors who decide to cut exposure can consider rotating some exposure to NIO to take them toward the next stage of the competition in China's increasingly competitive EV market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":319,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9965080182,"gmtCreate":1669856858846,"gmtModify":1676538257316,"author":{"id":"4107338879920220","authorId":"4107338879920220","name":"Hello hello","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41d5870886727f937efd33a187c8e58e","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107338879920220","authorIdStr":"4107338879920220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Song uh&nbsp;","listText":"Song uh&nbsp;","text":"Song uh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9965080182","repostId":"1176439361","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176439361","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":1669822019,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176439361?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-30 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Hot Chinese ADRs Continued to Fly Higher in Morning Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176439361","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Hot Chinese ADRs climbed for a third day, adding to a record rally this month.Alibaba jumped over 10","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Hot Chinese ADRs climbed for a third day, adding to a record rally this month.</p><p>Alibaba jumped over 10%; XPeng surged nearly 40%; Nio rose over 24%; Baidu rose more than 8%.</p><p>The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index gained 6% Wednesday, putting the benchmark on pace for a 37% surge this month.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fb2dd381f469c7fdce955b73ed65036\" tg-width=\"483\" tg-height=\"766\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And with the high margins of digital advertising, it could play a significant role in growing Apple's bottom line over the next few years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":299,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9992024928,"gmtCreate":1661229072266,"gmtModify":1676536479663,"author":{"id":"4107338879920220","authorId":"4107338879920220","name":"Hello hello","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41d5870886727f937efd33a187c8e58e","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107338879920220","authorIdStr":"4107338879920220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9992024928","repostId":"1140002312","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1140002312","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1661227301,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1140002312?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-23 12:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Must Face The Comeback Of Affordable ICE Vehicles","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1140002312","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryTesla has grown its sales while traditional automakers have shrunk.The chip shortage has driven the average transaction price of a new car higher than the price of a Model 3.This is unsustainable and as production returns, prices will drop.Tesla will need to respond with lower prices to be price competitive, which will hurt profitability, or it could face demand or growth risks.What's happened?It's hardly a splurge in today's market.A Model 3 costs \"just\" 30% more than the cheapest Honda ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Tesla has grown its sales while traditional automakers have shrunk.</li><li>The chip shortage has driven the average transaction price of a new car higher than the price of a Model 3.</li><li>This is unsustainable and as production returns, prices will drop.</li><li>Tesla will need to respond with lower prices to be price competitive, which will hurt profitability, or it could face demand or growth risks.</li></ul><p><b>What&#39;s happened?</b></p><p>Other automakers&#39; misfortunes have been Tesla&#39;s (NASDAQ:TSLA) gain. While Tesla is commonly seen as a luxury vehicle, it is taking sales from not just all the luxury automakers, but all the mainstream categories as well. Tesla&#39;s flawless navigation through the supply chain means not only higher production for Tesla, but higher demand as other automakers struggle with very high starting prices that are mostly out of their control.</p><p>In addition to supply chain hurdles, traditional automakers have struggled with dealerships driving up prices well above MSRP via price markups and mandatory accessories. Manufacturers like Ford (F), which historically have good relations with dealerships, are now starting to show their frustration with dealers. To counter this (and to get a bigger piece of the pie themselves), manufacturers have focused on building higher priced configurations of their vehicles, but that hasn&#39;t stopped the strong consumer from driving up prices further.</p><p>For the shopper, this is a double whammy. With manufacturers prioritizing higher-priced variants and dealerships applying extreme markups to those units, in July the average retail price for a new car rose to an all-time high of $48,142 and the average monthly payment is now $733. In fact, the average retail price is now higher than the starting price of a Model 3, even after a $10,000 price increase over the last year. In today&#39;s market, an entry-level Tesla is no longer a luxury vehicle.</p><p>My local dealership here in Southern California sells a top-of-the-line Honda Accord Touring for nearly the same price as a Standard Range Model 3 and according to the salesman, they&#39;ve been selling every one that they get. With mainstream vehicles having luxury prices, it&#39;s no wonder Tesla is taking sales from the mainstream segment.</p><p>While we may never see inventory levels like we did prior to the pandemic that allowed incentives and dealer discounts to bring prices well below MSRP, I believe buying a car at MSRP will eventually happen. This will give shoppers the much-needed choice they need.</p><p><b>Tesla: Now a luxury within reach</b></p><p>So how does the price of a Model 3 today compare with an Accord versus Honda&#39;s intention, and versus prices from a few years ago? It&#39;s hardly a splurge in today&#39;s market.</p><p>A Model 3 costs &#34;just&#34; 30% more than the cheapest Honda Accord I can find, a Sport trim priced at $35,975 including markups, and the salesman assured me that they sell every one they get without discount. That&#39;s a model that doesn&#39;t even have heated cloth seats; leather would cost an additional $1500 and at that point a Model 3 would be just 25% more for a huge upgrade in terms of brand and features.</p><p>Obviously, this is due to inflated prices and was never the intention. If a buyer could pick up an Accord LX (the cheapest trim) for an MSRP of $26,520 without those pesky markups, the cost of a Standard Range Model 3 would be more than 80% higher. You can argue that a Model 3 is worth the higher price tag but the problem is that with so few options today, a Tesla is far more appealing today than it was a few years ago (especially with fuel and maintenance savings). It&#39;s easy to see why Tesla is taking so many sales from the mainstream segment. In fact, according to Tom Libby from S&amp;P Mobility, about half of Model 3 and Y buyers have a mainstream product in their garage, which he finds extraordinary.</p><p>Even if we consider 2019 prices when a Model 3 was just $37,000, it was still more than 50% higher than the MSRP of an Accord LX at the time, and that&#39;s excluding past dealer discounts and manufacturer incentives that could drive the price thousands below MSRP.</p><p>With higher prices thanks to supply chain woes, Tesla has been able to bring in record profitability. Unfortunately, there are signs that these conditions are starting to fade.</p><p><b>The market is shifting</b></p><p>It&#39;s important to note that the strong consumer has been incredibly helpful in driving prices through the roof, but there are signs that the consumer&#39;s spending habits are changing.</p><p>Over the past few months, when it comes to the new car market, buyers just haven&#39;t had a choice. <i>Someone</i> is going to buy that overpriced car on the lot, however foolish it may be.

Musk’s tweet came at 8:01 p.m., just after the end of after-hours trading, so Man U’s stock was unaffected.Musk is no stranger to tweets coming back to bite him. His 2018 tweet that he had “funding secured” to consider taking Tesla private at $420 a share became the subject of regulatory action by the SEC, ultimately resulting in $20 million fines each against Musk and Tesla.Musk has sparred with the SEC on a number of other occasions over the years. He’s also embroiled in a bitter legal battle as he’s trying to pull out of a $44 billion dealto buy Twitter Inc.On the other hand, if the tweet is true, it would be a seismic deal for one of the most valuable sports brands on the planet. Manchester United’s current owners, the Glazer family, have been under pressure to sell the team after years of underperformance, mismanagement and a revolt by some fans. The team is currently in last place in the English Premier League, after their second straight loss to start the season, an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Brentford on Saturday.Last week, reports said British businessman Michael Knight on planned a formal bid to buy the team.The club has an estimated value of $4.6 billion, according to Forbes.That price tag would be doable for Musk, who is the world’s wealthiest individual, with a fortune estimated around $267 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.Manchester United went public in a 2012 IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. Its shares are down 10% year to date, in line with the S&P 500’s 10% loss this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9907268402,"gmtCreate":1660199471309,"gmtModify":1703479032397,"author":{"id":"4107338879920220","authorId":"4107338879920220","name":"Hello hello","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41d5870886727f937efd33a187c8e58e","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107338879920220","authorIdStr":"4107338879920220"},"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/9907268402","repostId":"1154022243","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154022243","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1660187105,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1154022243?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-11 11:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Nasdaq’s New Bull Market Could Be a Head Fake","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1154022243","media":"Barrons","summary":"After lagging behind the other major indexes for much of the first half of the year, the tech-heavy ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>After lagging behind the other major indexes for much of the first half of the year, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has staged a robust comeback over the past weeks, officially entering a new bull market on Wednesday.</p><p>The Nasdaq had tumbled into a bear market in March, defined as a 20% drop from a recent high, and reached a recent low on June 16.

In the 57 years he&#39;s held the reins at Berkshire, he&#39;s led his company&#39;s Class A shares (BRK.A) to an aggregate return of a scorching 3,641,613%, through Dec. 31, 2021. The Oracle of Omaha&#39;s company has outperformed the broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b> by so much that it&#39;s share price could fall 99% tomorrow and it would still be handily outpacing the S&amp;P 500 since 1965.</p><p>While there&#39;s a laundry list of reasons for Buffett&#39;s success, including his love of cyclical businesses and companies that pay dividends, packing Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio full of relatively safe companies can&#39;t be overlooked as a foundational element to his company&#39;s superior long-term returns.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df267fd56e3f3a8867dabf9d87c62b48\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p><p>Among the more than four dozen securities currently held in Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio are five exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stocks that patient investors can confidently buy right now.</p><h2>Johnson &amp; Johnson</h2><p>The first exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stock investors can scoop up right now is healthcare conglomerate <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>. Although it&#39;s not a large holding in Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio, it&#39;s proven to be a steady moneymaker over the long run.</p><p>Perhaps the best aspect of healthcare stocks is that they&#39;re defensive. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, or how high inflation flies, people will still need prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services. People don&#39;t stop getting sick just because Wall Street hits a bump in the road. This places a minimum level of demand beneath most healthcare stocks.</p><p>One of the factors that makes Johnson &amp; Johnson such a special company is its operating continuity. J&amp;J has been in business for 136 years, and in that time has only had 10 CEOs.  Having continuity in key leadership positions has ensured that strategic visions have been met.</p><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s operating segments play an important role in its success, too. While selling brand-name pharmaceuticals accounts for most of J&amp;J&#39;s growth and operating margins, brand-name drugs only have a finite period of sales exclusivity. To counter these patent cliffs, the company can, as an example, lean on its leading medical device segment that&#39;s perfectly positioned to take advantage of an aging global population. When one door closes with J&amp;J, one or more tends to open.</p><p>Lastly, Johnson &amp; Johnson is about as financially sound as any publicly traded company on the planet. It&#39;s increased its base annual dividend in each of the past 60 years, and is one of only two publicly traded companies to receive the highest credit rating (AAA) from Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s, a subsidiary of <b>S&amp;P Global</b>.</p><h2>Visa and Mastercard</h2><p>The second and third extremely safe Warren Buffett stocks to confidently buy right now are payment processors <b>Visa</b> and <b>Mastercard</b> (MA -1.60%). I&#39;ve arbitrarily chosen to discuss both companies at once since their operating models, and therefore catalysts, are virtually identical.</p><p>Like most financial stocks, Visa and Mastercard are cyclical businesses. With U.S. gross domestic product declining in back-to-back quarters (most investors would refer to this as a &#34;recession&#34;), you might be wondering why buying into payment processors would be a wise move. The simple answer is time. While recessions and economic contractions are inevitable, they don&#39;t last very long. By comparison, economic expansions are usually measured in years. Disproportionately long periods of expansion are what allow Visa and Mastercard to thrive.</p><p>These payment-processing kingpins are also No.&#39;s 1 and 2 in the U.S., the largest market for consumption in the world. As of 2020, Visa and Mastercard respectively controlled 54% and 23% of U.S. credit card network purchase volume.  Yet, with most global transactions still being conducted using cash, the opportunity to sustain double-digit growth through acquisitive or organic expansion is also there.</p><p>As one final note, Visa and Mastercard have shunned lending and strictly stuck to payment processing. In doing so, both companies are avoiding the loan delinquencies and losses that would typically accompany recessions. Not having to set aside capital for bad loans is what allows Visa and Mastercard to bounce back faster than most financial stocks.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b7d63c91e297b740388975c0d95bf95\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: U.S. Bank.</span></p><h2>U.S. Bancorp</h2><p>A fourth Warren Buffett stock that&#39;s extraordinarily safe and can be gobbled up by long-term investors right now is <b>U.S. Bancorp</b>, the parent company of the more familiar U.S. Bank.</p><p>Like Visa and Mastercard, bank stocks are cyclical. This means the recent economic downturn and rapidly rising inflation have generally increased loan delinquencies and encouraged banks to set aside more capital for loan losses. However, because economic expansions last considerably longer than contractions, banks like U.S. Bancorp benefit from the long-term growth in loans and deposits -- i.e., the &#34;bread and butter of banking,&#34; as I like to call it.</p><p>Speaking of the bread and butter of banking, regional banking giant U.S. Bancorp has regularly stood out for its superior return on assets, relative to other big banks. Whereas most money-center banks were lured by riskier derivative investments prior to the financial crisis more than a decade ago, U.S. Bancorp&#39;s relatively conservative management team avoided these pitfalls. Translation: It&#39;s bounced back from recessions quickly, and often in better shape than other large banks.</p><p>U.S. Bancorp also deserves credit for its top-tier digital engagement push. As of the end of May 2022, 82% of the company&#39;s active customers were banking digitally. More importantly, 64% of loan sales were completed online or via mobile app. For some context, only 45% of loan sales were completed digitally at the beginning of 2020.  Because digital transactions are <i>substantially</i> cheaper for banks than in-person or phone-based interactions, this digital push is allowing U.S. Bancorp to consolidate some of its branches and lower its noninterest expenses.</p><h2>Chevron</h2><p>The fifth and final especially safe Warren Buffett stock that investors can confidently buy right now is oil and gas major <b>Chevron</b>.</p><p>Understandably, the idea of buying an oil stock simply won&#39;t be palatable to some investors. It was just a little over two years ago that the initial lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic sent crude oil and natural gas demand off a cliff, which ultimately pummeled drilling and exploration companies. However, Chevron is a different breed of oil company that was able to successfully navigate its way through a rough patch for the oil industry.</p><p>Chevron&#39;s greatest asset might be its integrated operating model. Although it generates its juiciest margins from its upstream drilling operations, the company also owns transmission pipeline, refineries, and chemical plants. Midstream assets, such as pipelines and storage, almost always operate with fixed-fee or volume-based contracts. In other words, operating cash flow tends to be highly predictable and transparent. Meanwhile, Chevron&#39;s downstream refineries and chemical operations typically act as a hedge to falling energy prices.</p><p>Additionally, Chevron is in excellent financial shape, compared to other global oil and gas giants. Chevron&#39;s debt-to-equity ratio is below 20%, and the company is well positioned to further pay down debt, boost its already lofty dividend, and repurchase up to $10 billion in common stock this year.</p><p>If this still isn&#39;t enough to convince you that Chevron is a safe long-term investment, consider this: Due to reduced capital investment during the pandemic and Russia - Ukraine war, global oil and gas supply should remain constrained for years. That&#39;s a positive development for energy commodity prices, and ultimately drillers.</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>5 of the Safest Warren Buffett Stocks You Can Confidently Buy Right Now</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\">\n5 of the Safest Warren Buffett Stocks You Can Confidently Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-11 08:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/10/5-safest-warren-buffett-stocks-you-can-buy-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has, arguably, cemented himself among the investing greats.

In the 57 years he's held the reins at Berkshire, he's led his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) to an aggregate return of a scorching 3,641,613%, through Dec. 31, 2021. The Oracle of Omaha's company has outperformed the broad-based S&P 500 by so much that it's share price could fall 99% tomorrow and it would still be handily outpacing the S&P 500 since 1965.While there's a laundry list of reasons for Buffett's success, including his love of cyclical businesses and companies that pay dividends, packing Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio full of relatively safe companies can't be overlooked as a foundational element to his company's superior long-term returns.Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.Among the more than four dozen securities currently held in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio are five exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stocks that patient investors can confidently buy right now.Johnson & JohnsonThe first exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stock investors can scoop up right now is healthcare conglomerate Johnson & Johnson. Although it's not a large holding in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, it's proven to be a steady moneymaker over the long run.Perhaps the best aspect of healthcare stocks is that they're defensive. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, or how high inflation flies, people will still need prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services. People don't stop getting sick just because Wall Street hits a bump in the road. This places a minimum level of demand beneath most healthcare stocks.One of the factors that makes Johnson & Johnson such a special company is its operating continuity. J&J has been in business for 136 years, and in that time has only had 10 CEOs.  Having continuity in key leadership positions has ensured that strategic visions have been met.Johnson & Johnson's operating segments play an important role in its success, too. While selling brand-name pharmaceuticals accounts for most of J&J's growth and operating margins, brand-name drugs only have a finite period of sales exclusivity. To counter these patent cliffs, the company can, as an example, lean on its leading medical device segment that's perfectly positioned to take advantage of an aging global population. When one door closes with J&J, one or more tends to open.Lastly, Johnson & Johnson is about as financially sound as any publicly traded company on the planet. It's increased its base annual dividend in each of the past 60 years, and is one of only two publicly traded companies to receive the highest credit rating (AAA) from Standard & Poor's, a subsidiary of S&P Global.Visa and MastercardThe second and third extremely safe Warren Buffett stocks to confidently buy right now are payment processors Visa and Mastercard (MA -1.60%). I've arbitrarily chosen to discuss both companies at once since their operating models, and therefore catalysts, are virtually identical.Like most financial stocks, Visa and Mastercard are cyclical businesses. With U.S. gross domestic product declining in back-to-back quarters (most investors would refer to this as a \"recession\"), you might be wondering why buying into payment processors would be a wise move. The simple answer is time. While recessions and economic contractions are inevitable, they don't last very long. By comparison, economic expansions are usually measured in years. Disproportionately long periods of expansion are what allow Visa and Mastercard to thrive.These payment-processing kingpins are also No.'s 1 and 2 in the U.S., the largest market for consumption in the world. As of 2020, Visa and Mastercard respectively controlled 54% and 23% of U.S. credit card network purchase volume.  Yet, with most global transactions still being conducted using cash, the opportunity to sustain double-digit growth through acquisitive or organic expansion is also there.As one final note, Visa and Mastercard have shunned lending and strictly stuck to payment processing. In doing so, both companies are avoiding the loan delinquencies and losses that would typically accompany recessions. Not having to set aside capital for bad loans is what allows Visa and Mastercard to bounce back faster than most financial stocks.Image source: U.S. Bank.U.S. BancorpA fourth Warren Buffett stock that's extraordinarily safe and can be gobbled up by long-term investors right now is U.S. Bancorp, the parent company of the more familiar U.S. Bank.Like Visa and Mastercard, bank stocks are cyclical. This means the recent economic downturn and rapidly rising inflation have generally increased loan delinquencies and encouraged banks to set aside more capital for loan losses. However, because economic expansions last considerably longer than contractions, banks like U.S. Bancorp benefit from the long-term growth in loans and deposits -- i.e., the \"bread and butter of banking,\" as I like to call it.Speaking of the bread and butter of banking, regional banking giant U.S. Bancorp has regularly stood out for its superior return on assets, relative to other big banks.

Investors would be curious to see if the company can post a significant enough revenue beat to stabilize its tanking share price and possibly also trigger a rally. But in addition to just tracking its headline revenue figure, investors may also want to monitor its customer count, deal value, segment financials and its management’s outlook for FY22. These items will better highlight Palantir’s state of operations and are likely to influence where its shares head next in coming weeks. Let’s take a closer look at it all.</p><p><b>Operating Metrics</b></p><p>Bears routinely argue that Palantir is a consulting business instead of a technology business. Its sales personnel have to pitch their platform to enterprises and government agencies in order to win contracts. Then, its team of engineers has to sometimes, if not always, intervene in order to set up dashboards for their new customers. So, it’s understandable why many investors are skeptical about Palantir’s ability to scale. Fortunately, for Palantir&#39;s shareholders at least, the company discloses two operating metrics that reveal if it&#39;s scalability is at risk or if things are going smoothly.</p><p>First method involves tracking Palantir’s total number of customers in its Q4 earnings report. If its customer onboarding process is starting to get bottlenecked due to human intervention, or if its target market is saturating, then Palantir’s customer count figure might as well plateau going forward. Any slowdown in growth here would point to operational difficulties in onboarding new customers and possibly also a subsequent financial slowdown. Conversely, a rapid increase in Palantir’s customer count would indicate that the company is still growing its business footprint with relative ease and it would also quash scalability-related concerns along the way.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b8bf667cc8d52a57100d5a577a3773c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"513\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Secondly, investors may also want to monitor Palantir’s remaining deal value figure. It highlights the residual value of all the contracts booked with Palantir, that are yet to be delivered, from which revenue is yet to be recognized. It’s similar to the order backlog metric that engineering firms report but it’s prone to customer cancellations due to far lower contract termination fees. Generally speaking, a growing remaining deal value figure indicates a growing project pipeline that can potentially drive Palantir’s revenue in the years to come.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/97f0a6cf7e7d598536bcd580220bea43\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"518\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Very few investors might know this but Palantir has significantly expanded its sales team over the last four quarters. With this heightened focus on direct sales now, the company is likely to have bagged new customers and contracts during the quarter. This means its customer count figure as well as its remaining deal value of contracts, are well poised to further increase sequentially in the company’s upcoming Q4 earnings report.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c72a2922e7f293e89fdcfa96680d5ab1\" tg-width=\"536\" tg-height=\"109\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><b>Bifurcated Financials</b></p><p>Moving on, Palantir classifies its revenue under two reporting segments namely, government and commercial segments. Its commercial revenue stream has grown at a rapid rate over the past few quarters and it accounted for about 45% of the company’s total revenue last quarter. Now that most of the major markets across the world have eased their travel restrictions, Palantir’s expanded sales team would have been able to travel more freely during the quarter and bag new orders. So, I’m expecting its commercial segment to post a low-double-digit (~12%) revenue growth on a sequential basis, with the actual figure coming in around $195 million for Q4.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29c6dcf4a5c1ce28f4f355f50f958783\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"550\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>On the other hand, I expect Palantir’s government segment to post lackluster results in Q4. The company won very few contracts from the US government during quarter which is bound to put a pressure on this revenue stream. Palantir would have had to strike more deals with international governments agencies in order to offset and mitigate the recent decline of new orders from the US government, but that’s easier said than done. So, I’m expecting its government revenue to, at best, grow at low-single digits (~3%) in Q4, with the figure amounting to around $224 million.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b14bd1751a6ff3bf9fdd1c3cfe9f1ee7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"452\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Overall, I’m estimating Palantir’s revenue to amount to $419 million during Q4 FY21. This would mark a growth of approximately 30% on a year over year basis, and 7% sequentially. Coincidentally, my revenue estimate happens to be in the vicinity of the Street’s revenue estimates for Palantir’s Q4, which are averaging around$417 million<b>.</b></p><p>Having said that, investors should also pay close attention to Palantir management’s revenue outlook for FY22. They had issued a rather conservative revenue growth outlook for FY21 in last year’s Q4, which eventually caused a selloff in its share for the majority of the past year. But now that Palantir’s number of customers has increased 46% since Q4 FY20, its management should be in a better position to issue a higher revenue growth forecast for FY22.</p><p>Also, there has been a marked deceleration in new order wins from US government during Q4, as evident in the chart above. So, investors should listen in on Palantir management&#39;s comments on how they plan on navigating through this situation. Specifically, do they think that this is a one-time drop, that&#39;s mired by delays in awarding the contracts, or if this the new normal? If it’s the latter, then what is Palantir management’s strategy to offset the potentially declining government business?</p><p><b>Investors Takeaway</b></p><p>Palantir’s shares have corrected by more than 40% over the last 6 months alone and they’re attractively valued at current levels. In contrast, other rapidly growing companies operating in the software infrastructure space are trading at significantly higher price-to-sales multiples.

Investors would be curious to see if the company can post a significant enough revenue beat to stabilize its tanking share price and possibly also trigger a rally. But in addition to just tracking its headline revenue figure, investors may also want to monitor its customer count, deal value, segment financials and its management’s outlook for FY22. These items will better highlight Palantir’s state of operations and are likely to influence where its shares head next in coming weeks. Let’s take a closer look at it all.Operating MetricsBears routinely argue that Palantir is a consulting business instead of a technology business. Its sales personnel have to pitch their platform to enterprises and government agencies in order to win contracts. Then, its team of engineers has to sometimes, if not always, intervene in order to set up dashboards for their new customers. So, it’s understandable why many investors are skeptical about Palantir’s ability to scale. Fortunately, for Palantir's shareholders at least, the company discloses two operating metrics that reveal if it's scalability is at risk or if things are going smoothly.First method involves tracking Palantir’s total number of customers in its Q4 earnings report. If its customer onboarding process is starting to get bottlenecked due to human intervention, or if its target market is saturating, then Palantir’s customer count figure might as well plateau going forward. Any slowdown in growth here would point to operational difficulties in onboarding new customers and possibly also a subsequent financial slowdown. Conversely, a rapid increase in Palantir’s customer count would indicate that the company is still growing its business footprint with relative ease and it would also quash scalability-related concerns along the way.Secondly, investors may also want to monitor Palantir’s remaining deal value figure. It highlights the residual value of all the contracts booked with Palantir, that are yet to be delivered, from which revenue is yet to be recognized. It’s similar to the order backlog metric that engineering firms report but it’s prone to customer cancellations due to far lower contract termination fees. Generally speaking, a growing remaining deal value figure indicates a growing project pipeline that can potentially drive Palantir’s revenue in the years to come.Very few investors might know this but Palantir has significantly expanded its sales team over the last four quarters. With this heightened focus on direct sales now, the company is likely to have bagged new customers and contracts during the quarter. This means its customer count figure as well as its remaining deal value of contracts, are well poised to further increase sequentially in the company’s upcoming Q4 earnings report.Bifurcated FinancialsMoving on, Palantir classifies its revenue under two reporting segments namely, government and commercial segments. Its commercial revenue stream has grown at a rapid rate over the past few quarters and it accounted for about 45% of the company’s total revenue last quarter. Now that most of the major markets across the world have eased their travel restrictions, Palantir’s expanded sales team would have been able to travel more freely during the quarter and bag new orders. So, I’m expecting its commercial segment to post a low-double-digit (~12%) revenue growth on a sequential basis, with the actual figure coming in around $195 million for Q4.On the other hand, I expect Palantir’s government segment to post lackluster results in Q4. The company won very few contracts from the US government during quarter which is bound to put a pressure on this revenue stream. Palantir would have had to strike more deals with international governments agencies in order to offset and mitigate the recent decline of new orders from the US government, but that’s easier said than done. So, I’m expecting its government revenue to, at best, grow at low-single digits (~3%) in Q4, with the figure amounting to around $224 million.Overall, I’m estimating Palantir’s revenue to amount to $419 million during Q4 FY21. This would mark a growth of approximately 30% on a year over year basis, and 7% sequentially. Coincidentally, my revenue estimate happens to be in the vicinity of the Street’s revenue estimates for Palantir’s Q4, which are averaging around$417 million.Having said that, investors should also pay close attention to Palantir management’s revenue outlook for FY22. They had issued a rather conservative revenue growth outlook for FY21 in last year’s Q4, which eventually caused a selloff in its share for the majority of the past year. But now that Palantir’s number of customers has increased 46% since Q4 FY20, its management should be in a better position to issue a higher revenue growth forecast for FY22.Also, there has been a marked deceleration in new order wins from US government during Q4, as evident in the chart above. So, investors should listen in on Palantir management's comments on how they plan on navigating through this situation. Specifically, do they think that this is a one-time drop, that's mired by delays in awarding the contracts, or if this the new normal? If it’s the latter, then what is Palantir management’s strategy to offset the potentially declining government business?Investors TakeawayPalantir’s shares have corrected by more than 40% over the last 6 months alone and they’re attractively valued at current levels. In contrast, other rapidly growing companies operating in the software infrastructure space are trading at significantly higher price-to-sales multiples. So, investors with a long-term time horizon may want to consider adding Palantir’s shares while they’re still discounted.As far as its Q4 earnings report is concerned, investors should closely monitor Palantir's customer count, its remaining deal value, segment financials and its management’s outlook for FY22. These items stand to better highlight Palantir’s state of operations and the longevity of its growth momentum. I remain bullish on the stock due to its attractive valuations and a host of growth-related initiatives (as outlined here,here and here).

(NYSE:NIO) and XPeng Inc. (NYSE:XPEV) enjoyed a solid recovery in November. XPEV posted a 1M total return of 55.5% as the market forced bearish investors/weak holders to flee at its October lows. In contrast, NIO posted a 1M total return of 24.5%, as buying sentiments returned strongly to China&#39;s embattled pure-play BEV makers.</p><p>Notwithstanding, Chinese EV bears will point out that both stocks remain well below their starting point in 2022. Accordingly, XPEV&#39;s YTD total return of -80% suggests buyers have been decimated, while NIO posted a better YTD performance of -62%.</p><p>Hence, we believe it&#39;s opportune to update investors on whether the buying opportunity on the recent rally still has legs, as China seems to be progressively easing its COVID restrictions.</p><p>Our assessment indicates that one company has executed much better as China&#39;s economy worsened in 2022. China&#39;s stringent COVID restrictions and harsh property cooling measures have weakened its GDP growth significantly. Accordingly, China&#39;s manufacturing PMI also came below consensus estimates, behooving China to accelerate its reopening moves.</p><p>Coupled with heightened competition, higher input costs, supply chain disruptions, and a weaker economy, NIO has proved its mettle against XPeng. However, both companies remain unprofitable. With a narrowed route toward external financing, given the current market conditions, we believe investors will likely focus on the company that has executed better, with clearer visibility toward reaching profitability.</p><p>We believe the competitive landscape would likely intensify further. Legacy OEMs such as General Motors (GM), Ford (F), and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY) have telegraphed ambitious plans to assume EV leadership by 2025/26. In addition, China&#39;s NEV leader BYD Company (OTCPK:BYDDY) has continued to penetrate the EV market further, consolidating its position as the global NEV leader (including hybrids) in Q3&#39;22, ahead of Tesla (TSLA).</p><p>Therefore, we urge investors to consider the business models and execution prowess of NIO and XPeng carefully as they take on profitable leading auto behemoths as they chart their path to profitability.</p><p>We discuss why we continue to put our bet in NIO as a potential multi-bagger speculative opportunity ahead of XPEV.</p><p>Maintain Speculative Buy on NIO and Hold on XPEV.</p><h2>Competition In China Has Intensified</h2><p>China&#39;s economic malaise has battered its consumer discretionary spending, including automobiles. Yet, China&#39;s leading NEV makers have made robust progress in 2022.</p><p>For instance, BYD delivered more than 230K of NEV in November, notching another monthly record, up nearly 153% YoY. Notably, BYD has continued to post consistent MoM gains since April 2022, corroborating the resilience of its highly vertically-integrated operating model.</p><p>Moreover, Volkswagen has continued to invest heavily in its prized Chinese market. General Motors have also stepped up on its endeavor, looking to introduce 15 EV models for the Chinese market by 2025.</p><p>Hence, we postulate that the competitive landscape in China could indicate that some unprofitable/less profitable upstarts could be squeezed out of the leading pack subsequently. With NIO and XPeng continuing to struggle for profitability, it&#39;s vital to assess which company could emerge as the stronger competitor to take on these behemoths.</p><p>Furthermore, China&#39;s NEV subsidies are due to be eliminated by 2023, even though Chinese media reported that there could be some revisions. Notwithstanding, it could neutralize/lessen a constructive tailwind that has driven sales over the past few years.</p><p>Therefore the market outlook remains uncertain while competition has intensified. As such, nothing short of excellent execution is required to navigate these challenges. And it&#39;s one that XPeng has fallen short in 2022.</p><h2>XPeng Restructures</h2><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61e462b6ef38ba6c0893c716ae23dcdc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>XPeng Vehicle margins % (Company filings)</span></p><p>Given XPeng&#39;s low vehicle margins operating model, it&#39;s imperative for the company to continue posting robust production and deliveries growth to benefit significantly from fixed costs leverage.</p><p>However, XPeng&#39;s massive Q3 deliveries disappointment highlighted the execution weakness in a challenging macro and supply chain environment, in which leaders BYD and NIO performed admirably.</p><p>With a vehicle margin of just 11.6% in Q3 (up from Q2&#39;s 9.1%), XPeng&#39;s profitability has improved QoQ.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e172d47aa15683ff6c89cf5c9e8dbd2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>XPeng Deliveries (Company filings)</span></p><p>However, the company posted deliveries growth of just 15% in FQ3; a massive downshift from FQ2&#39;s 98%. As such, we believe it triggered a rethinking of its strategies, leading the company to announce an organizational restructuring, as CEO He Xiaoping emphasized:</p><blockquote>Frankly, we&#39;re going through a very challenging period in pursuing our long-term goals. In response, we recently conducted an in-depth strategic review and implemented organizational restructure. As market competition intensifies, we&#39;ll sharpen our marketing to highlight the great value in our industry-leading smart and electrification technologies and further enhance our branding, sales, and service capabilities. (XPeng FQ3&#39;22 earnings call)</blockquote><p>Hence, we believe there&#39;s little doubt that the increasingly competitive landscape hammered XPeng&#39;s execution. Therefore, moving forward, we think it&#39;s better to watch the action from the sidelines unless you have a very high conviction in XPeng&#39;s management.</p><p>XPeng announced October and November deliveries of 5.1K and 5.81K, respectively. As such, the company needs to deliver about 9.59K of NEV (midpoint) in Q4, predicated on the ramp of its G9. XPeng emphasized: &#34;The Company expects that deliveries will significantly increase in December 2022 as G9&#39;s production ramp-up accelerates under normalized operating conditions.&#34;</p><p>We believe that XPEV&#39;s battering toward its October lows has likely reflected significant pessimism. But, we don&#39;t think the recent rally is sustainable, as its price action suggests a massive covering rally.</p><p>As such, we urge investors thinking of cutting exposure to leverage on the recent recovery to take some risks off the table and rotate.</p><h2>Rotate To NIO<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b388563a2b413a07256e586ffbaa59a0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NIO Deliveries (Company filings)</span></p></h2><p>NIO posted 14.18K in NEV deliveries for November, up nearly 41% MoM. As such, NIO demonstrated that its premium EV strategy is working well, despite China&#39;s economic malaise.</p><p>While China&#39;s COVID restrictions have impacted its production cadence, we believe it could be less material moving forward as China progressively eases.</p><p>Hence, NIO should be able to focus primarily on its execution as it looks to deliver its Q4 guidance of 45.5K NEVs (midpoint). The company appears confident in its recent deliveries outlook as NIO emphasized: &#34;NIO will further accelerate the production and delivery in December 2022.&#34;</p><p>NIO CEO William Li also telegraphed recently why it&#39;s critical for NIO to remain deeply entrenched as one of China&#39;s leading NEV leaders, given intensifying competition. Li accentuated:</p><blockquote>If a company is squeezed into the second tier in the final round [of competition in 2024/25], it is basically impossible for it to catch up to the first tier if it wants to. You can only be a second-tier languishing, barely alive person. - CnEVPost</blockquote><p>Therefore, we believe it&#39;s no surprise that the timeline aligns well with the milestones indicated by the legacy OEMs makers as they transform into EV companies.</p><p>Don&#39;t assume these OEM makers are &#34;dead&#34; yet, as they invest profits from their ICE segments to take on unprofitable EV makers. The battle is far from over, and we believe only the fittest EV makers could survive the increasingly competitive landscape.</p><h2>Is NIO Or XPEV Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</h2><p><i>Maintain Speculative Buy on NIO and Hold on XPEV.</i></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbee3aba450db5a7c84dee25b0094d59\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>XPEV price chart (weekly) (TradingView)</span></p><p>The market had gotten XPEV spot on, knowing that it could face significant competitive pressures that could impact its operating model considerably.</p><p>As such, the market&#39;s battering from its June highs has likely reflected its positioning.

(NYSE:NIO) and XPeng Inc. (NYSE:XPEV) enjoyed a solid recovery in November. XPEV posted a 1M total return of 55.5% as the market forced bearish investors/weak holders to flee at its October lows. In contrast, NIO posted a 1M total return of 24.5%, as buying sentiments returned strongly to China's embattled pure-play BEV makers.Notwithstanding, Chinese EV bears will point out that both stocks remain well below their starting point in 2022. Accordingly, XPEV's YTD total return of -80% suggests buyers have been decimated, while NIO posted a better YTD performance of -62%.Hence, we believe it's opportune to update investors on whether the buying opportunity on the recent rally still has legs, as China seems to be progressively easing its COVID restrictions.Our assessment indicates that one company has executed much better as China's economy worsened in 2022. China's stringent COVID restrictions and harsh property cooling measures have weakened its GDP growth significantly. Accordingly, China's manufacturing PMI also came below consensus estimates, behooving China to accelerate its reopening moves.Coupled with heightened competition, higher input costs, supply chain disruptions, and a weaker economy, NIO has proved its mettle against XPeng. However, both companies remain unprofitable. With a narrowed route toward external financing, given the current market conditions, we believe investors will likely focus on the company that has executed better, with clearer visibility toward reaching profitability.We believe the competitive landscape would likely intensify further. Legacy OEMs such as General Motors (GM), Ford (F), and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY) have telegraphed ambitious plans to assume EV leadership by 2025/26. In addition, China's NEV leader BYD Company (OTCPK:BYDDY) has continued to penetrate the EV market further, consolidating its position as the global NEV leader (including hybrids) in Q3'22, ahead of Tesla (TSLA).Therefore, we urge investors to consider the business models and execution prowess of NIO and XPeng carefully as they take on profitable leading auto behemoths as they chart their path to profitability.We discuss why we continue to put our bet in NIO as a potential multi-bagger speculative opportunity ahead of XPEV.Maintain Speculative Buy on NIO and Hold on XPEV.Competition In China Has IntensifiedChina's economic malaise has battered its consumer discretionary spending, including automobiles. Yet, China's leading NEV makers have made robust progress in 2022.For instance, BYD delivered more than 230K of NEV in November, notching another monthly record, up nearly 153% YoY. Notably, BYD has continued to post consistent MoM gains since April 2022, corroborating the resilience of its highly vertically-integrated operating model.Moreover, Volkswagen has continued to invest heavily in its prized Chinese market. General Motors have also stepped up on its endeavor, looking to introduce 15 EV models for the Chinese market by 2025.Hence, we postulate that the competitive landscape in China could indicate that some unprofitable/less profitable upstarts could be squeezed out of the leading pack subsequently. With NIO and XPeng continuing to struggle for profitability, it's vital to assess which company could emerge as the stronger competitor to take on these behemoths.Furthermore, China's NEV subsidies are due to be eliminated by 2023, even though Chinese media reported that there could be some revisions. Notwithstanding, it could neutralize/lessen a constructive tailwind that has driven sales over the past few years.Therefore the market outlook remains uncertain while competition has intensified. As such, nothing short of excellent execution is required to navigate these challenges. And it's one that XPeng has fallen short in 2022.XPeng RestructuresXPeng Vehicle margins % (Company filings)Given XPeng's low vehicle margins operating model, it's imperative for the company to continue posting robust production and deliveries growth to benefit significantly from fixed costs leverage.However, XPeng's massive Q3 deliveries disappointment highlighted the execution weakness in a challenging macro and supply chain environment, in which leaders BYD and NIO performed admirably.With a vehicle margin of just 11.6% in Q3 (up from Q2's 9.1%), XPeng's profitability has improved QoQ.XPeng Deliveries (Company filings)However, the company posted deliveries growth of just 15% in FQ3; a massive downshift from FQ2's 98%. As such, we believe it triggered a rethinking of its strategies, leading the company to announce an organizational restructuring, as CEO He Xiaoping emphasized:Frankly, we're going through a very challenging period in pursuing our long-term goals. In response, we recently conducted an in-depth strategic review and implemented organizational restructure. As market competition intensifies, we'll sharpen our marketing to highlight the great value in our industry-leading smart and electrification technologies and further enhance our branding, sales, and service capabilities. (XPeng FQ3'22 earnings call)Hence, we believe there's little doubt that the increasingly competitive landscape hammered XPeng's execution. Therefore, moving forward, we think it's better to watch the action from the sidelines unless you have a very high conviction in XPeng's management.XPeng announced October and November deliveries of 5.1K and 5.81K, respectively. As such, the company needs to deliver about 9.59K of NEV (midpoint) in Q4, predicated on the ramp of its G9. XPeng emphasized: \"The Company expects that deliveries will significantly increase in December 2022 as G9's production ramp-up accelerates under normalized operating conditions.\"We believe that XPEV's battering toward its October lows has likely reflected significant pessimism. But, we don't think the recent rally is sustainable, as its price action suggests a massive covering rally.As such, we urge investors thinking of cutting exposure to leverage on the recent recovery to take some risks off the table and rotate.Rotate To NIONIO Deliveries (Company filings)NIO posted 14.18K in NEV deliveries for November, up nearly 41% MoM. As such, NIO demonstrated that its premium EV strategy is working well, despite China's economic malaise.While China's COVID restrictions have impacted its production cadence, we believe it could be less material moving forward as China progressively eases.Hence, NIO should be able to focus primarily on its execution as it looks to deliver its Q4 guidance of 45.5K NEVs (midpoint). The company appears confident in its recent deliveries outlook as NIO emphasized: \"NIO will further accelerate the production and delivery in December 2022.\"NIO CEO William Li also telegraphed recently why it's critical for NIO to remain deeply entrenched as one of China's leading NEV leaders, given intensifying competition. Li accentuated:If a company is squeezed into the second tier in the final round [of competition in 2024/25], it is basically impossible for it to catch up to the first tier if it wants to. You can only be a second-tier languishing, barely alive person. - CnEVPostTherefore, we believe it's no surprise that the timeline aligns well with the milestones indicated by the legacy OEMs makers as they transform into EV companies.Don't assume these OEM makers are \"dead\" yet, as they invest profits from their ICE segments to take on unprofitable EV makers. The battle is far from over, and we believe only the fittest EV makers could survive the increasingly competitive landscape.Is NIO Or XPEV Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?Maintain Speculative Buy on NIO and Hold on XPEV.XPEV price chart (weekly) (TradingView)The market had gotten XPEV spot on, knowing that it could face significant competitive pressures that could impact its operating model considerably.As such, the market's battering from its June highs has likely reflected its positioning. Hence, the recent sharp rally from its October lows resembled a covering move from bearish investors taking profit and cutting exposure.As such, we urge investors not to join this rally but consider taking the opportunity to take some risks off the table.NIO price chart (weekly) (TradingView)NIO's price action looks much more robust than XPEV, with no clear signs of a massive covering rally. Therefore, buyers are likely accumulating, trapping bearish investors at its long-term support and holding that defense line constructively.Hence, we believe the opportunity for a mean-reversion rally for NIO is still attractive at these levels. XPEV investors who decide to cut exposure can consider rotating some exposure to NIO to take them toward the next stage of the competition in China's increasingly competitive EV market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":319,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9992202640,"gmtCreate":1661311988981,"gmtModify":1676536495525,"author":{"id":"4107338879920220","authorId":"4107338879920220","name":"Hello hello","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41d5870886727f937efd33a187c8e58e","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107338879920220","authorIdStr":"4107338879920220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up up&nbsp;","listText":"Up up&nbsp;","text":"Up up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9992202640","repostId":"2261653796","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2261653796","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1661311232,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2261653796?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-24 11:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Sees This Business Reaching $10 Billion Soon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2261653796","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"And it's still very early days for this high-margin service.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>About three months ago, <b>Apple</b> made a small but notable change to its corporate structure.

And with the high margins of digital advertising, it could play a significant role in growing Apple's bottom line over the next few years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":299,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9992024928,"gmtCreate":1661229072266,"gmtModify":1676536479663,"author":{"id":"4107338879920220","authorId":"4107338879920220","name":"Hello hello","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41d5870886727f937efd33a187c8e58e","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107338879920220","authorIdStr":"4107338879920220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9992024928","repostId":"1140002312","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1140002312","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1661227301,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1140002312?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-23 12:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Must Face The Comeback Of Affordable ICE Vehicles","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1140002312","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryTesla has grown its sales while traditional automakers have shrunk.The chip shortage has driven the average transaction price of a new car higher than the price of a Model 3.This is unsustainable and as production returns, prices will drop.Tesla will need to respond with lower prices to be price competitive, which will hurt profitability, or it could face demand or growth risks.What's happened?It's hardly a splurge in today's market.A Model 3 costs \"just\" 30% more than the cheapest Honda ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Tesla has grown its sales while traditional automakers have shrunk.</li><li>The chip shortage has driven the average transaction price of a new car higher than the price of a Model 3.</li><li>This is unsustainable and as production returns, prices will drop.</li><li>Tesla will need to respond with lower prices to be price competitive, which will hurt profitability, or it could face demand or growth risks.</li></ul><p><b>What&#39;s happened?</b></p><p>Other automakers&#39; misfortunes have been Tesla&#39;s (NASDAQ:TSLA) gain. While Tesla is commonly seen as a luxury vehicle, it is taking sales from not just all the luxury automakers, but all the mainstream categories as well. Tesla&#39;s flawless navigation through the supply chain means not only higher production for Tesla, but higher demand as other automakers struggle with very high starting prices that are mostly out of their control.</p><p>In addition to supply chain hurdles, traditional automakers have struggled with dealerships driving up prices well above MSRP via price markups and mandatory accessories. Manufacturers like Ford (F), which historically have good relations with dealerships, are now starting to show their frustration with dealers. To counter this (and to get a bigger piece of the pie themselves), manufacturers have focused on building higher priced configurations of their vehicles, but that hasn&#39;t stopped the strong consumer from driving up prices further.</p><p>For the shopper, this is a double whammy. With manufacturers prioritizing higher-priced variants and dealerships applying extreme markups to those units, in July the average retail price for a new car rose to an all-time high of $48,142 and the average monthly payment is now $733. In fact, the average retail price is now higher than the starting price of a Model 3, even after a $10,000 price increase over the last year. In today&#39;s market, an entry-level Tesla is no longer a luxury vehicle.</p><p>My local dealership here in Southern California sells a top-of-the-line Honda Accord Touring for nearly the same price as a Standard Range Model 3 and according to the salesman, they&#39;ve been selling every one that they get. With mainstream vehicles having luxury prices, it&#39;s no wonder Tesla is taking sales from the mainstream segment.</p><p>While we may never see inventory levels like we did prior to the pandemic that allowed incentives and dealer discounts to bring prices well below MSRP, I believe buying a car at MSRP will eventually happen. This will give shoppers the much-needed choice they need.</p><p><b>Tesla: Now a luxury within reach</b></p><p>So how does the price of a Model 3 today compare with an Accord versus Honda&#39;s intention, and versus prices from a few years ago? It&#39;s hardly a splurge in today&#39;s market.</p><p>A Model 3 costs &#34;just&#34; 30% more than the cheapest Honda Accord I can find, a Sport trim priced at $35,975 including markups, and the salesman assured me that they sell every one they get without discount. That&#39;s a model that doesn&#39;t even have heated cloth seats; leather would cost an additional $1500 and at that point a Model 3 would be just 25% more for a huge upgrade in terms of brand and features.</p><p>Obviously, this is due to inflated prices and was never the intention. If a buyer could pick up an Accord LX (the cheapest trim) for an MSRP of $26,520 without those pesky markups, the cost of a Standard Range Model 3 would be more than 80% higher. You can argue that a Model 3 is worth the higher price tag but the problem is that with so few options today, a Tesla is far more appealing today than it was a few years ago (especially with fuel and maintenance savings). It&#39;s easy to see why Tesla is taking so many sales from the mainstream segment. In fact, according to Tom Libby from S&amp;P Mobility, about half of Model 3 and Y buyers have a mainstream product in their garage, which he finds extraordinary.</p><p>Even if we consider 2019 prices when a Model 3 was just $37,000, it was still more than 50% higher than the MSRP of an Accord LX at the time, and that&#39;s excluding past dealer discounts and manufacturer incentives that could drive the price thousands below MSRP.</p><p>With higher prices thanks to supply chain woes, Tesla has been able to bring in record profitability. Unfortunately, there are signs that these conditions are starting to fade.</p><p><b>The market is shifting</b></p><p>It&#39;s important to note that the strong consumer has been incredibly helpful in driving prices through the roof, but there are signs that the consumer&#39;s spending habits are changing.</p><p>Over the past few months, when it comes to the new car market, buyers just haven&#39;t had a choice. <i>Someone</i> is going to buy that overpriced car on the lot, however foolish it may be.

Musk’s tweet came at 8:01 p.m., just after the end of after-hours trading, so Man U’s stock was unaffected.Musk is no stranger to tweets coming back to bite him. His 2018 tweet that he had “funding secured” to consider taking Tesla private at $420 a share became the subject of regulatory action by the SEC, ultimately resulting in $20 million fines each against Musk and Tesla.Musk has sparred with the SEC on a number of other occasions over the years. He’s also embroiled in a bitter legal battle as he’s trying to pull out of a $44 billion dealto buy Twitter Inc.On the other hand, if the tweet is true, it would be a seismic deal for one of the most valuable sports brands on the planet. Manchester United’s current owners, the Glazer family, have been under pressure to sell the team after years of underperformance, mismanagement and a revolt by some fans. The team is currently in last place in the English Premier League, after their second straight loss to start the season, an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Brentford on Saturday.Last week, reports said British businessman Michael Knight on planned a formal bid to buy the team.The club has an estimated value of $4.6 billion, according to Forbes.That price tag would be doable for Musk, who is the world’s wealthiest individual, with a fortune estimated around $267 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.Manchester United went public in a 2012 IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. Its shares are down 10% year to date, in line with the S&P 500’s 10% loss this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9094169745,"gmtCreate":1645084625902,"gmtModify":1676533995584,"author":{"id":"4107338879920220","authorId":"4107338879920220","name":"Hello hello","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41d5870886727f937efd33a187c8e58e","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107338879920220","authorIdStr":"4107338879920220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"To the moon&nbsp;","listText":"To the moon&nbsp;","text":"To the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9094169745","repostId":"1196763919","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196763919","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1645065569,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196763919?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-17 10:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: The Moment Of Truth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196763919","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryPalantir is scheduled to report its Q4 results before markets open on Thursday.Its total reve","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Palantir is scheduled to report its Q4 results before markets open on Thursday.</li><li>Its total revenue is likely to come in at $419 million for the period.</li><li>Palantir&#39;s government revenue could remain muted.</li><li>Other than revenue, investors may want to keep a close eye on the company&#39;s customer count, remaining deal value and its management&#39;s outlook for FY22.</li></ul><p>All eyes will be on Palantir (PLTR) when it reports its Q4 results tomorrow before markets open.

These items will better highlight Palantir’s state of operations and are likely to influence where its shares head next in coming weeks. Let’s take a closer look at it all.</p><p><b>Operating Metrics</b></p><p>Bears routinely argue that Palantir is a consulting business instead of a technology business. Its sales personnel have to pitch their platform to enterprises and government agencies in order to win contracts. Then, its team of engineers has to sometimes, if not always, intervene in order to set up dashboards for their new customers. So, it’s understandable why many investors are skeptical about Palantir’s ability to scale. Fortunately, for Palantir&#39;s shareholders at least, the company discloses two operating metrics that reveal if it&#39;s scalability is at risk or if things are going smoothly.</p><p>First method involves tracking Palantir’s total number of customers in its Q4 earnings report. If its customer onboarding process is starting to get bottlenecked due to human intervention, or if its target market is saturating, then Palantir’s customer count figure might as well plateau going forward. Any slowdown in growth here would point to operational difficulties in onboarding new customers and possibly also a subsequent financial slowdown. Conversely, a rapid increase in Palantir’s customer count would indicate that the company is still growing its business footprint with relative ease and it would also quash scalability-related concerns along the way.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b8bf667cc8d52a57100d5a577a3773c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"513\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Secondly, investors may also want to monitor Palantir’s remaining deal value figure. It highlights the residual value of all the contracts booked with Palantir, that are yet to be delivered, from which revenue is yet to be recognized. It’s similar to the order backlog metric that engineering firms report but it’s prone to customer cancellations due to far lower contract termination fees. Generally speaking, a growing remaining deal value figure indicates a growing project pipeline that can potentially drive Palantir’s revenue in the years to come.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/97f0a6cf7e7d598536bcd580220bea43\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"518\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Very few investors might know this but Palantir has significantly expanded its sales team over the last four quarters. With this heightened focus on direct sales now, the company is likely to have bagged new customers and contracts during the quarter. This means its customer count figure as well as its remaining deal value of contracts, are well poised to further increase sequentially in the company’s upcoming Q4 earnings report.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c72a2922e7f293e89fdcfa96680d5ab1\" tg-width=\"536\" tg-height=\"109\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><b>Bifurcated Financials</b></p><p>Moving on, Palantir classifies its revenue under two reporting segments namely, government and commercial segments. Its commercial revenue stream has grown at a rapid rate over the past few quarters and it accounted for about 45% of the company’s total revenue last quarter. Now that most of the major markets across the world have eased their travel restrictions, Palantir’s expanded sales team would have been able to travel more freely during the quarter and bag new orders. So, I’m expecting its commercial segment to post a low-double-digit (~12%) revenue growth on a sequential basis, with the actual figure coming in around $195 million for Q4.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29c6dcf4a5c1ce28f4f355f50f958783\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"550\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>On the other hand, I expect Palantir’s government segment to post lackluster results in Q4. The company won very few contracts from the US government during quarter which is bound to put a pressure on this revenue stream. Palantir would have had to strike more deals with international governments agencies in order to offset and mitigate the recent decline of new orders from the US government, but that’s easier said than done. So, I’m expecting its government revenue to, at best, grow at low-single digits (~3%) in Q4, with the figure amounting to around $224 million.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b14bd1751a6ff3bf9fdd1c3cfe9f1ee7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"452\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Overall, I’m estimating Palantir’s revenue to amount to $419 million during Q4 FY21. This would mark a growth of approximately 30% on a year over year basis, and 7% sequentially. Coincidentally, my revenue estimate happens to be in the vicinity of the Street’s revenue estimates for Palantir’s Q4, which are averaging around$417 million<b>.</b></p><p>Having said that, investors should also pay close attention to Palantir management’s revenue outlook for FY22. They had issued a rather conservative revenue growth outlook for FY21 in last year’s Q4, which eventually caused a selloff in its share for the majority of the past year. But now that Palantir’s number of customers has increased 46% since Q4 FY20, its management should be in a better position to issue a higher revenue growth forecast for FY22.</p><p>Also, there has been a marked deceleration in new order wins from US government during Q4, as evident in the chart above. So, investors should listen in on Palantir management&#39;s comments on how they plan on navigating through this situation. Specifically, do they think that this is a one-time drop, that&#39;s mired by delays in awarding the contracts, or if this the new normal? If it’s the latter, then what is Palantir management’s strategy to offset the potentially declining government business?</p><p><b>Investors Takeaway</b></p><p>Palantir’s shares have corrected by more than 40% over the last 6 months alone and they’re attractively valued at current levels. In contrast, other rapidly growing companies operating in the software infrastructure space are trading at significantly higher price-to-sales multiples. So, investors with a long-term time horizon may want to consider adding Palantir’s shares while they’re still discounted.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a3a468cef71239587678d0c0375a279\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>As far as its Q4 earnings report is concerned, investors should closely monitor Palantir&#39;s customer count, its remaining deal value, segment financials and its management’s outlook for FY22.

In the 57 years he&#39;s held the reins at Berkshire, he&#39;s led his company&#39;s Class A shares (BRK.A) to an aggregate return of a scorching 3,641,613%, through Dec. 31, 2021. The Oracle of Omaha&#39;s company has outperformed the broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b> by so much that it&#39;s share price could fall 99% tomorrow and it would still be handily outpacing the S&amp;P 500 since 1965.</p><p>While there&#39;s a laundry list of reasons for Buffett&#39;s success, including his love of cyclical businesses and companies that pay dividends, packing Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio full of relatively safe companies can&#39;t be overlooked as a foundational element to his company&#39;s superior long-term returns.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df267fd56e3f3a8867dabf9d87c62b48\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p><p>Among the more than four dozen securities currently held in Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio are five exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stocks that patient investors can confidently buy right now.</p><h2>Johnson &amp; Johnson</h2><p>The first exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stock investors can scoop up right now is healthcare conglomerate <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>. Although it&#39;s not a large holding in Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio, it&#39;s proven to be a steady moneymaker over the long run.</p><p>Perhaps the best aspect of healthcare stocks is that they&#39;re defensive. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, or how high inflation flies, people will still need prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services. People don&#39;t stop getting sick just because Wall Street hits a bump in the road. This places a minimum level of demand beneath most healthcare stocks.</p><p>One of the factors that makes Johnson &amp; Johnson such a special company is its operating continuity. J&amp;J has been in business for 136 years, and in that time has only had 10 CEOs.  Having continuity in key leadership positions has ensured that strategic visions have been met.</p><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s operating segments play an important role in its success, too. While selling brand-name pharmaceuticals accounts for most of J&amp;J&#39;s growth and operating margins, brand-name drugs only have a finite period of sales exclusivity. To counter these patent cliffs, the company can, as an example, lean on its leading medical device segment that&#39;s perfectly positioned to take advantage of an aging global population. When one door closes with J&amp;J, one or more tends to open.</p><p>Lastly, Johnson &amp; Johnson is about as financially sound as any publicly traded company on the planet. It&#39;s increased its base annual dividend in each of the past 60 years, and is one of only two publicly traded companies to receive the highest credit rating (AAA) from Standard &amp; Poor&#39;s, a subsidiary of <b>S&amp;P Global</b>.</p><h2>Visa and Mastercard</h2><p>The second and third extremely safe Warren Buffett stocks to confidently buy right now are payment processors <b>Visa</b> and <b>Mastercard</b> (MA -1.60%). I&#39;ve arbitrarily chosen to discuss both companies at once since their operating models, and therefore catalysts, are virtually identical.</p><p>Like most financial stocks, Visa and Mastercard are cyclical businesses. With U.S. gross domestic product declining in back-to-back quarters (most investors would refer to this as a &#34;recession&#34;), you might be wondering why buying into payment processors would be a wise move. The simple answer is time. While recessions and economic contractions are inevitable, they don&#39;t last very long. By comparison, economic expansions are usually measured in years. Disproportionately long periods of expansion are what allow Visa and Mastercard to thrive.</p><p>These payment-processing kingpins are also No.&#39;s 1 and 2 in the U.S., the largest market for consumption in the world. As of 2020, Visa and Mastercard respectively controlled 54% and 23% of U.S. credit card network purchase volume.  Yet, with most global transactions still being conducted using cash, the opportunity to sustain double-digit growth through acquisitive or organic expansion is also there.</p><p>As one final note, Visa and Mastercard have shunned lending and strictly stuck to payment processing. In doing so, both companies are avoiding the loan delinquencies and losses that would typically accompany recessions. Not having to set aside capital for bad loans is what allows Visa and Mastercard to bounce back faster than most financial stocks.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b7d63c91e297b740388975c0d95bf95\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: U.S. Bank.</span></p><h2>U.S. Bancorp</h2><p>A fourth Warren Buffett stock that&#39;s extraordinarily safe and can be gobbled up by long-term investors right now is <b>U.S. Bancorp</b>, the parent company of the more familiar U.S. Bank.</p><p>Like Visa and Mastercard, bank stocks are cyclical. This means the recent economic downturn and rapidly rising inflation have generally increased loan delinquencies and encouraged banks to set aside more capital for loan losses. However, because economic expansions last considerably longer than contractions, banks like U.S. Bancorp benefit from the long-term growth in loans and deposits -- i.e., the &#34;bread and butter of banking,&#34; as I like to call it.</p><p>Speaking of the bread and butter of banking, regional banking giant U.S. Bancorp has regularly stood out for its superior return on assets, relative to other big banks. Whereas most money-center banks were lured by riskier derivative investments prior to the financial crisis more than a decade ago, U.S. Bancorp&#39;s relatively conservative management team avoided these pitfalls. Translation: It&#39;s bounced back from recessions quickly, and often in better shape than other large banks.</p><p>U.S. Bancorp also deserves credit for its top-tier digital engagement push. As of the end of May 2022, 82% of the company&#39;s active customers were banking digitally. More importantly, 64% of loan sales were completed online or via mobile app. For some context, only 45% of loan sales were completed digitally at the beginning of 2020.  Because digital transactions are <i>substantially</i> cheaper for banks than in-person or phone-based interactions, this digital push is allowing U.S. Bancorp to consolidate some of its branches and lower its noninterest expenses.</p><h2>Chevron</h2><p>The fifth and final especially safe Warren Buffett stock that investors can confidently buy right now is oil and gas major <b>Chevron</b>.</p><p>Understandably, the idea of buying an oil stock simply won&#39;t be palatable to some investors. It was just a little over two years ago that the initial lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic sent crude oil and natural gas demand off a cliff, which ultimately pummeled drilling and exploration companies. However, Chevron is a different breed of oil company that was able to successfully navigate its way through a rough patch for the oil industry.</p><p>Chevron&#39;s greatest asset might be its integrated operating model. Although it generates its juiciest margins from its upstream drilling operations, the company also owns transmission pipeline, refineries, and chemical plants. Midstream assets, such as pipelines and storage, almost always operate with fixed-fee or volume-based contracts. In other words, operating cash flow tends to be highly predictable and transparent. Meanwhile, Chevron&#39;s downstream refineries and chemical operations typically act as a hedge to falling energy prices.</p><p>Additionally, Chevron is in excellent financial shape, compared to other global oil and gas giants. Chevron&#39;s debt-to-equity ratio is below 20%, and the company is well positioned to further pay down debt, boost its already lofty dividend, and repurchase up to $10 billion in common stock this year.</p><p>If this still isn&#39;t enough to convince you that Chevron is a safe long-term investment, consider this: Due to reduced capital investment during the pandemic and Russia - Ukraine war, global oil and gas supply should remain constrained for years. That&#39;s a positive development for energy commodity prices, and ultimately drillers.</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>5 of the Safest Warren Buffett Stocks You Can Confidently Buy Right Now</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\">\n5 of the Safest Warren Buffett Stocks You Can Confidently Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-11 08:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/10/5-safest-warren-buffett-stocks-you-can-buy-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has, arguably, cemented himself among the investing greats.

The Oracle of Omaha's company has outperformed the broad-based S&P 500 by so much that it's share price could fall 99% tomorrow and it would still be handily outpacing the S&P 500 since 1965.While there's a laundry list of reasons for Buffett's success, including his love of cyclical businesses and companies that pay dividends, packing Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio full of relatively safe companies can't be overlooked as a foundational element to his company's superior long-term returns.Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.Among the more than four dozen securities currently held in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio are five exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stocks that patient investors can confidently buy right now.Johnson & JohnsonThe first exceptionally safe Warren Buffett stock investors can scoop up right now is healthcare conglomerate Johnson & Johnson. Although it's not a large holding in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, it's proven to be a steady moneymaker over the long run.Perhaps the best aspect of healthcare stocks is that they're defensive. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, or how high inflation flies, people will still need prescription drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services. People don't stop getting sick just because Wall Street hits a bump in the road. This places a minimum level of demand beneath most healthcare stocks.One of the factors that makes Johnson & Johnson such a special company is its operating continuity. J&J has been in business for 136 years, and in that time has only had 10 CEOs.  Having continuity in key leadership positions has ensured that strategic visions have been met.Johnson & Johnson's operating segments play an important role in its success, too. While selling brand-name pharmaceuticals accounts for most of J&J's growth and operating margins, brand-name drugs only have a finite period of sales exclusivity. To counter these patent cliffs, the company can, as an example, lean on its leading medical device segment that's perfectly positioned to take advantage of an aging global population. When one door closes with J&J, one or more tends to open.Lastly, Johnson & Johnson is about as financially sound as any publicly traded company on the planet. It's increased its base annual dividend in each of the past 60 years, and is one of only two publicly traded companies to receive the highest credit rating (AAA) from Standard & Poor's, a subsidiary of S&P Global.Visa and MastercardThe second and third extremely safe Warren Buffett stocks to confidently buy right now are payment processors Visa and Mastercard (MA -1.60%). I've arbitrarily chosen to discuss both companies at once since their operating models, and therefore catalysts, are virtually identical.Like most financial stocks, Visa and Mastercard are cyclical businesses. With U.S. gross domestic product declining in back-to-back quarters (most investors would refer to this as a \"recession\"), you might be wondering why buying into payment processors would be a wise move. The simple answer is time. While recessions and economic contractions are inevitable, they don't last very long. By comparison, economic expansions are usually measured in years. Disproportionately long periods of expansion are what allow Visa and Mastercard to thrive.These payment-processing kingpins are also No.'s 1 and 2 in the U.S., the largest market for consumption in the world. As of 2020, Visa and Mastercard respectively controlled 54% and 23% of U.S. credit card network purchase volume.  Yet, with most global transactions still being conducted using cash, the opportunity to sustain double-digit growth through acquisitive or organic expansion is also there.As one final note, Visa and Mastercard have shunned lending and strictly stuck to payment processing. In doing so, both companies are avoiding the loan delinquencies and losses that would typically accompany recessions. Not having to set aside capital for bad loans is what allows Visa and Mastercard to bounce back faster than most financial stocks.Image source: U.S. Bank.U.S. BancorpA fourth Warren Buffett stock that's extraordinarily safe and can be gobbled up by long-term investors right now is U.S. Bancorp, the parent company of the more familiar U.S. Bank.Like Visa and Mastercard, bank stocks are cyclical. This means the recent economic downturn and rapidly rising inflation have generally increased loan delinquencies and encouraged banks to set aside more capital for loan losses. However, because economic expansions last considerably longer than contractions, banks like U.S. Bancorp benefit from the long-term growth in loans and deposits -- i.e., the \"bread and butter of banking,\" as I like to call it.Speaking of the bread and butter of banking, regional banking giant U.S. Bancorp has regularly stood out for its superior return on assets, relative to other big banks. Whereas most money-center banks were lured by riskier derivative investments prior to the financial crisis more than a decade ago, U.S. Bancorp's relatively conservative management team avoided these pitfalls. Translation: It's bounced back from recessions quickly, and often in better shape than other large banks.U.S. Bancorp also deserves credit for its top-tier digital engagement push. As of the end of May 2022, 82% of the company's active customers were banking digitally. More importantly, 64% of loan sales were completed online or via mobile app. For some context, only 45% of loan sales were completed digitally at the beginning of 2020.  Because digital transactions are substantially cheaper for banks than in-person or phone-based interactions, this digital push is allowing U.S. Bancorp to consolidate some of its branches and lower its noninterest expenses.ChevronThe fifth and final especially safe Warren Buffett stock that investors can confidently buy right now is oil and gas major Chevron.Understandably, the idea of buying an oil stock simply won't be palatable to some investors. It was just a little over two years ago that the initial lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic sent crude oil and natural gas demand off a cliff, which ultimately pummeled drilling and exploration companies. However, Chevron is a different breed of oil company that was able to successfully navigate its way through a rough patch for the oil industry.Chevron's greatest asset might be its integrated operating model. Although it generates its juiciest margins from its upstream drilling operations, the company also owns transmission pipeline, refineries, and chemical plants. Midstream assets, such as pipelines and storage, almost always operate with fixed-fee or volume-based contracts. In other words, operating cash flow tends to be highly predictable and transparent. Meanwhile, Chevron's downstream refineries and chemical operations typically act as a hedge to falling energy prices.Additionally, Chevron is in excellent financial shape, compared to other global oil and gas giants. Chevron's debt-to-equity ratio is below 20%, and the company is well positioned to further pay down debt, boost its already lofty dividend, and repurchase up to $10 billion in common stock this year.If this still isn't enough to convince you that Chevron is a safe long-term investment, consider this: Due to reduced capital investment during the pandemic and Russia - Ukraine war, global oil and gas supply should remain constrained for years. That's a positive development for energy commodity prices, and ultimately drillers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9013723676,"gmtCreate":1648777437425,"gmtModify":1676534396462,"author":{"id":"4107338879920220","authorId":"4107338879920220","name":"Hello hello","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/41d5870886727f937efd33a187c8e58e","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4107338879920220","authorIdStr":"4107338879920220"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nooooooo!","listText":"Nooooooo!","text":"Nooooooo!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9013723676","repostId":"2224920394","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2224920394","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":1648771732,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2224920394?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-01 08:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ford to Halt Mustang Production at Michigan Plant for a Week Due to Chip Shortage","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2224920394","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Ford Motor Co. will pause production next week at a Michigan plant that produces Mustangs due to the","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">Ford Motor Co.</a> will pause production next week at a Michigan plant that produces Mustangs due to the ongoing chip shortage.</p><p>&#34;The global semiconductor shortage continues to affect Ford&#39;s North American plants,&#34; the automaker said in a statement Thursday. &#34;Behind the scenes, we have teams working on how to maximize production, with a continued commitment to building every high-demand vehicle for our customers with the quality they expect.

But, its vehicle gross margin remained robust, as it improved to 20.9%. It also improved against FQ3&#39;s 18% and last year&#39;s 17.2%. Notably, NIO&#39;s robust vehicle margins came amid the current uncertainties in its supply chain, as NIO CEO William Li highlighted (edited): &#34;Although the user demand and order momentum remains strong, the production and delivery have been affected by COVID and the volatility of the supply chain.&#34;</p><p>As a result, NIO telegraphed only 25.5K (mid-point) in deliveries for CQ1&#39;22, ending in March.

Nonetheless, we concur that NIO needs to be more circumspect with its estimates, given recent flaring COVID-19 cases in China. Therefore, it could continue to affect its delivery momentum in the near term.</p><h2>NIO Stock Key Metrics</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1dc2e02ca077e5e6efbf0b63ac13ada4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>NIO stock EV/NTM Revenue (TIKR)</p><p>Nevertheless, we believe that NIO&#39;s growth premium has been digested over the past year.

Hence, we think the bears are running out of space to run since the massive capitulation in Chinese EV stocks two weeks ago. It demonstrated clearly that investors are ultimately still rational actors. Therefore, we believe that NIO investors are turning their attention to its long-term outlook moving ahead, despite near-term headwinds.</p><h2>What is NIO&#39;s Long-Term Outlook?</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60f5653ee47bc8aee25b1bdf60ef4fec\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>NIO revenue YoY change % &amp; GAAP operating margins % (S&amp;P Capital IQ)</p><p>NIO&#39;s 49.1% revenue growth represented a marked deceleration against last year&#39;s phenomenal metrics.

NIO highlighted that R&amp;D grew 120.5% YoY, and SG&amp;A expenses increased by 95.4% YoY. Nevertheless, NIO is still very much in growth mode. Therefore, investors should not be surprised that the company continues to dedicate significant resources to expanding its R&amp;D capability and footprint.
