Arabia&#39;s sovereign-wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, in late July 2018, a week before floating the possibility of taking Tesla private. A specific price for taking Tesla private wasn&#39;t discussed at that meeting, nor was there a signed document, Mr. Musk testified.

The PIF representative added two days later, &#34;Let&#39;s see the numbers and get our people to meet and discuss.&#34;</p><p>U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, who is overseeing the trial, ruled last year that some of Mr. Musk&#39;s statements about potentially taking the company private -- such as &#34;funding secured&#34; and &#34;investor support is confirmed&#34; -- weren&#39;t true. Judge Chen also found that Mr. Musk acted recklessly in sending those tweets.</p><p>Jurors are being asked to decide, among other issues, whether the tweets were material to investors and whether the misrepresentations caused investors to sustain losses. On Friday, the judge told jurors that any evidence they might hear about the circumstances surrounding Mr. Musk&#39;s Aug. 7, 2018, tweets shouldn&#39;t be used to ascertain the truth of the statements but could be relevant to other issues such as whether Mr. Musk knew that what he was saying was false.</p><p>Mr. Musk, in his roughly 30 minutes on the stand Friday, raised questions about the link between his tweets and the market&#39;s reaction. &#34;Just because I tweet something does not mean people believe it or act accordingly,&#34; Mr. Musk said.</p><p>The trial is expected to run through early February.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Elon Musk Testifies He Had Funding to Take Tesla Private, Citing SpaceX, Saudi Arabia</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\">\nElon Musk Testifies He Had Funding to Take Tesla Private, Citing SpaceX, Saudi Arabia\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-01-24 07:16</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>Elon Musk said he had funding to take Tesla Inc. private when he floated the idea in 2018, saying that financing from Saudi Arabia&#39;s sovereign-wealth fund and his own stake in rocket-company SpaceX would have provided sufficient capital.</p><p>&#34;With the SpaceX stock alone, I felt funding was secured,&#34; Mr. Musk said in a second day on the stand in a case brought by investors who say they lost money because of his tweets proposing to take the car company private.</p><p>Mr. Musk met with representatives of Saudi Arabia&#39;s sovereign-wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, in late July 2018, a week before floating the possibility of taking Tesla private.

A specific price for taking Tesla private wasn't discussed at that meeting, nor was there a signed document, Mr. Musk testified. Nevertheless, Mr. Musk said he walked away from the meeting thinking it was a \"done deal.\"\"The thing that was really, absolutely unequivocal was that they were absolutely supportive of taking Tesla private,\" he said.The class-action case being tried in federal court in San Francisco centers on the Tesla chief executive's tweets more than four years ago floating the possibility of taking the company private and the effect they had on individual investors' decision-making. \"Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured,\" Mr. Musk, then serving as both Tesla's chairman and CEO, tweeted on Aug. 7, 2018. He later added, \"Investor support is confirmed.\"An attorney for the group of investors bringing the suit against Mr. Musk, Tesla and the company's board at the time said Mr. Musk lied in saying he had secured funding to take Tesla private. Those lies, the attorney said, caused investors who relied on that and other untrue statements to lose money.Tesla's stock closed up 11% the day Mr. Musk tweeted about potentially taking Tesla private, then gave back those gains and fell further as questions emerged about the deal, which never came to pass.An attorney representing Mr. Musk and Tesla said last week that Mr. Musk's \"funding secured\" tweet was an inartful shorthand for what was going on at the time.Mr. Musk, in court Friday, pointed to the limitations of communicating on Twitter, which imposes a character limitation on tweets. \"I think you can absolutely be truthful. But can you be comprehensive? Of course not, \" Mr. Musk told jurors.Jurors last week also heard from two investors who lost money in the wake of Mr. Musk's tweets, including the lead plaintiff, investor Glen Littleton, who is seeking damages for those losses. Mr. Littleton testified that after seeing Mr. Musk's tweets, he moved quickly to liquidate certain positions, adding, \"This represented a threat to my livelihood.\"Timothy Fries, a member of the class who testified Friday, said he lost $5,000 after buying 50 shares of Tesla stock following Mr. Musk's tweets. Those shares cost $370 apiece, an investment report showed. He sold those shares at a loss in early September 2018, he said, after it had become clear Tesla wouldn't go private.Mr. Fries said he understood when he bought Tesla stock that a deal hadn't been completed. However, he added, \"I had felt that the funding had already been vetted, because the tweet said, 'funding secured.'\"A lawyer for Tesla and Mr. Musk has said his team had chosen not to enforce subpoenas calling on representatives of Saudi Arabia's PIF to testify. The sovereign-wealth fund didn't respond to a request for comment.After Mr. Musk tweeted that he had funding secured to take Tesla private, a top representative for the fund texted the Tesla CEO, court records show.\"PIF remains interested in potential investment opportunities that are consistent with its investment strategy and the EV space is one of interest,\" the PIF representative said on Aug. 10, 2018. The PIF representative added two days later, \"Let's see the numbers and get our people to meet and discuss.\"U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, who is overseeing the trial, ruled last year that some of Mr. Musk's statements about potentially taking the company private -- such as \"funding secured\" and \"investor support is confirmed\" -- weren't true.

On Friday, Wall Street will see how successful the bank&#39;s efforts have been.</p><p>Like most of its peers, Citigroup (ticker: C) is expected to post a drop in profits in the fourth quarter of 2022 as deal making fell off sharply at the major banks compared with the year-ago quarter. Analysts surveyed by FactSet project the bank will see revenue of $17.9 billion compared with $17 billion from a year earlier. Earnings, however, are forecast to be $2.3 billion, or $1.14 per share, down from $3.2 billion last year.</p><p>But more than Citigroup&#39;s financial results, the Street wants to see that the bank has made meaningful strides in improving its operations after regulators hit the bank with a consent order two years ago for weak internal controls. More recently, in November, the Federal Reserve identified a &#34;shortcoming&#34; pertaining to &#34;data quality and data management&#34; in Citigroup&#39;s so-called living will -- a plan the largest banks have to submit to the Fed that discloses how they would resolve a disruption to operations or a bankruptcy. Citigroup has until the end of January to submit a plan to address the shortcoming.

Nonetheless, the average price for new smartphones is expected to finish this year about 6% higher than last year, with the premium segment (where we find Apple) that is proving to be resilient to the economic turmoil with a 4% growth in market share to 16% of the total smartphone market.</p><p>The picture is somewhat mixed. On one side we have a weakening economy, on the other, we see Apple among the resilient businesses. But, by keeping iPhones prices the same, Apple will risk the undermining of its profits, given the fact that inflation drives up production costs. Some believe that Apple will take this hit, given its net income of $79 billion in the first three quarters of the year. However, I would like to show that we shouldn&#39;t be too rash in stating that Apple will just give up a small percentage, yet big in absolute terms, of its profits without doing anything to prevent it.</p><p>Apple sold an estimated 106 million iPhones through the first half of this year, an 8% increase and still expects to reach 220 million iPhones for 2022. Furthermore, the annual revenue estimates see Apple reaching an $88.47 billion 4th quarter, which, in confirmed, is a 6% growth YoY.</p><p>The analyst Dan Ives has also pointed out that Apple&#39;s initial order for 90 million iPhone 14 units has &#34;stayed firm&#34;. In fact, almost 25% of the 1 billion iPhone users across the world have not upgraded in 3.5 years and demand in China for the high-end devices continues to remain strong.</p><p>So, if sales are expected to grow 6% while inflation is around 8% it seems reasonable to expect Apple to suffer a bit. We could also account the strong dollar that is hurting Apple&#39;s revenue outside the U.S. All of this leads us to the question about Apple&#39;s next fiscal year.</p><h2>The business model: from a transactional to a subscription company</h2><p>If Apple were to rely only on its devices sales, then there wouldn&#39;t be a way around it: keeping prices the same means shrinking margins. However, is Apple only a transactional company?</p><p>Before we dive into some math, we have to consider that Apple is changing its business model, leveraging the fact that it is able to place its hardware devices in every corner. Instead of profiting only from selling hardware, Apple is gradually shifting its focus on maximizing the way to monetize the huge base of installed devices it has all over the world. In other words, Apple is considering every device not only as product sales revenue, but also as the key to earn more money from its user during the device lifetime. If we want to make it even clearer, Apple wants to make more money from its devices, especially the iPhones, the iPads and the MacBooks.</p><p>How is Apple achieving this? Through services. Apple offers different subscription services that offer recurrent revenue from every device. This is why Apple has started breaking down its revenue between products and services. By doing this, Apple can show how its real growth driver at the moment is found in the offered services.</p><p>In its annual report, Apple explains what it considers when it reports service sales:</p><blockquote>Services net sales include sales from the Company’s advertising, AppleCare, cloud, digital content, payment and other services. Services net sales also include amortization of the deferred value of services bundled in the sales price of certain products.</blockquote><p>I think it is still to understand the leveraging power Apple has. While many subscription based companies need to prove to their customers the value of their services, Apple has the huge advantage of basing its subscriptions on material goods that millions of customers around the world already have and want to have. I think this is Apple&#39;s real moat: it is materially present almost everywhere with its devices. Now it only needs to extract more money from their daily usage.</p><h2>Seeking recurrent revenue</h2><p>Back in March 2022, Bloomberg reported that Apple is working on a hardware subscription service for the iPhone which would not be equal to the full price split over 24 months, but that would really offer a new way of becoming an iPhone user. However, while this news is promising, we don&#39;t have enough data to make a forecast of the positive impact if will have on Apple.</p><p>Things are different if we look at the current services. Back in 2016, the average Apple user was estimated to pay $1 per day for hardware and services. According to Katy Huberty, an Apple analyst, at present the average user spends $280 each year on Apple hardware and an additional $69 on services. It is also widely believed that there are about 1 billion Apple users who can give Apple recurring sales income as they adopt new service subscriptions.</p><p>According to the analyst Woodring, Apple users will spend in a few years $2 per day on Apple products or services, a figure already achieved by US iPhone owners. This means that Apple will see a daily revenue of $2 billion, which leads to an annual revenue of $730 billion, which is twice the size of the revenue Apple reported in 2021. It can be reasonable to expect that as the hardware subscription service kicks off, the program will boost the adoption of Apple&#39;s first-party services, such as Music, iCloud, etc. This should have a positive impact on services growth but it should also diminish the company’s dependence on App Store sales. In fact, around 30% of Apple’s current services revenue comes from here. The more Apple sells its first-hand services, the larger the chunk of profits it can retain. However, third party apps are indeed a very profitable business, as Apple has very low costs to earn this revenue since it just needs to make its app store available.</p><p>So far, we know that at the end of fiscal year 2021, Apple users had 785 million paid subscriptions across Apple’s first and third-party services. With a reasonable forecast of $76 billion revenue from services in 2022, Apple will reach a 235% growth from the $32.7 billion services revenue reported in 2017, the year when Apple started reporting its net sales with the breakdown between products and services. In the same time span, revenue from products increased 160% from $196.5 billion to the expected $315.9 billion at the end of fiscal year 2022. This growth is shown in the graph below where we see the annual sales split up in products and services.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8d2547d7f4afd1fb9114caa34a469f3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"302\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author with data from Apple&#39;s Annual Reports</span></p><p>However, the importance of this graph is not only to highlight the growing chunk of the services revenue, but also to show that as services revenue grows, so does the gross margin. Currently, services account for about 20% of the total revenues, but the impact they have on margins is becoming more and more meaningful. In fact, the cost of services is decreasing as a percentage of total costs, moving from 10.43% in 2017 to 9.24% in 2022. In addition, and even more importantly, the gross margin Apple obtains from the services revenue is moving up from 55% in 2017 to around 72.5% at the end of FY22, as shown below. During the same period of time, the gross margin of the products revenue has seen actually a compression or around 2 pps.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7f90ad845ba6da80aebe515476acede2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"370\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author, with data from Apple&#39;s Annual Reports</span></p><p>Nonetheless, even if the products gross margin shrunk, the increase in services gross margin, even if it has an impact on only 20% of total revenues, has been so meaningful to drag upwards the total gross margin of Apple that moved up from 38.5% in 2017 to almost 42% at the end of last year, with a forecast for this fiscal year to be still around this level.</p><p>So, why can Apple afford not to raise prices this year? For sure, part of is a marketing expense that wants to make customers perceive the iPhone as somewhat in reach in an inflationary environment where everything costs more. But, the impact on the revenue will not be as great as we may expect because Apple knows that it is monetizing better all its users. Therefore, Apple knows that even though purchase price of the iPhones remains the same, the company is extracting more money from a device compared to what it was able to do just a year ago.</p><p>In fact, if we divide last year&#39;s services revenue by Apple&#39;s users we see that in 2021 every user spent around $68 in annual services (keep in mind that the $2 per day reported above takes into account products and services together). This year Apple should see at least an 11.7% growth to $76 annual services revenue per user. Clearly, the annual services revenue per user is meaningful.</p><p>We can also look at this revenue from another point of view to understand the possible growth for this segment. During the last earnings call,Tim Cook reported that</p><blockquote>We now have more than 860 million paid subscriptions across the services on our platform, which is up more than 160 million during the last 12 months alone.</blockquote><p>If we divide the $76.8 billion services revenue by the 860 million paid subscription we get that the revenue per subscription is $89, which proves once more that Apple knows it has room to turn more users into paying subscribers.</p><p>In any case, this services growth is enough to offset the current inflation rate, which, as many believe, is set to come down during 2023, where services should have at least a 21% weight on total revenues. Thus, even if the products revenue stays flat (and this would be somewhat of a surprise given the fact that the premium segment is growing), we would have a fifth of total revenues bump up another 10-13%, with a very low cost of sales. The impact on the revenue might still be just around 2%, however the impact on the gross margin will be already more tangible, lifting it up above 42% thus leading Apple to new record profits.</p><p>To this strategy, we could also add that Apple is developing its direct to consumer sales through its e-commerce. Some estimates show that around 15% of iPhone shipments, 30% of Mac/iPads, and 20-25% of Wearables (AirPods and Apple Watch) are sold directly through this channel which brings Apple to enjoy more margins while decreasing sales costs.</p><p>We mentioned briefly that Apple could also a FX problem. While I think the company may expect a little weakening of the dollar, given the point it has reached this year, I think that the fact the company didn&#39;t raise prices show how much Apple relies on the shift towards services revenue.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>The first stock I invested in was Apple.

Nonetheless, the average price for new smartphones is expected to finish this year about 6% higher than last year, with the premium segment (where we find Apple) that is proving to be resilient to the economic turmoil with a 4% growth in market share to 16% of the total smartphone market.The picture is somewhat mixed. On one side we have a weakening economy, on the other, we see Apple among the resilient businesses. But, by keeping iPhones prices the same, Apple will risk the undermining of its profits, given the fact that inflation drives up production costs. Some believe that Apple will take this hit, given its net income of $79 billion in the first three quarters of the year. However, I would like to show that we shouldn't be too rash in stating that Apple will just give up a small percentage, yet big in absolute terms, of its profits without doing anything to prevent it.Apple sold an estimated 106 million iPhones through the first half of this year, an 8% increase and still expects to reach 220 million iPhones for 2022. Furthermore, the annual revenue estimates see Apple reaching an $88.47 billion 4th quarter, which, in confirmed, is a 6% growth YoY.The analyst Dan Ives has also pointed out that Apple's initial order for 90 million iPhone 14 units has \"stayed firm\". In fact, almost 25% of the 1 billion iPhone users across the world have not upgraded in 3.5 years and demand in China for the high-end devices continues to remain strong.So, if sales are expected to grow 6% while inflation is around 8% it seems reasonable to expect Apple to suffer a bit. We could also account the strong dollar that is hurting Apple's revenue outside the U.S. All of this leads us to the question about Apple's next fiscal year.The business model: from a transactional to a subscription companyIf Apple were to rely only on its devices sales, then there wouldn't be a way around it: keeping prices the same means shrinking margins. However, is Apple only a transactional company?Before we dive into some math, we have to consider that Apple is changing its business model, leveraging the fact that it is able to place its hardware devices in every corner. Instead of profiting only from selling hardware, Apple is gradually shifting its focus on maximizing the way to monetize the huge base of installed devices it has all over the world. In other words, Apple is considering every device not only as product sales revenue, but also as the key to earn more money from its user during the device lifetime. If we want to make it even clearer, Apple wants to make more money from its devices, especially the iPhones, the iPads and the MacBooks.How is Apple achieving this? Through services. Apple offers different subscription services that offer recurrent revenue from every device. This is why Apple has started breaking down its revenue between products and services. By doing this, Apple can show how its real growth driver at the moment is found in the offered services.In its annual report, Apple explains what it considers when it reports service sales:Services net sales include sales from the Company’s advertising, AppleCare, cloud, digital content, payment and other services. Services net sales also include amortization of the deferred value of services bundled in the sales price of certain products.I think it is still to understand the leveraging power Apple has. While many subscription based companies need to prove to their customers the value of their services, Apple has the huge advantage of basing its subscriptions on material goods that millions of customers around the world already have and want to have. I think this is Apple's real moat: it is materially present almost everywhere with its devices. Now it only needs to extract more money from their daily usage.Seeking recurrent revenueBack in March 2022, Bloomberg reported that Apple is working on a hardware subscription service for the iPhone which would not be equal to the full price split over 24 months, but that would really offer a new way of becoming an iPhone user. However, while this news is promising, we don't have enough data to make a forecast of the positive impact if will have on Apple.Things are different if we look at the current services. Back in 2016, the average Apple user was estimated to pay $1 per day for hardware and services. According to Katy Huberty, an Apple analyst, at present the average user spends $280 each year on Apple hardware and an additional $69 on services. It is also widely believed that there are about 1 billion Apple users who can give Apple recurring sales income as they adopt new service subscriptions.According to the analyst Woodring, Apple users will spend in a few years $2 per day on Apple products or services, a figure already achieved by US iPhone owners. This means that Apple will see a daily revenue of $2 billion, which leads to an annual revenue of $730 billion, which is twice the size of the revenue Apple reported in 2021. It can be reasonable to expect that as the hardware subscription service kicks off, the program will boost the adoption of Apple's first-party services, such as Music, iCloud, etc. This should have a positive impact on services growth but it should also diminish the company’s dependence on App Store sales. In fact, around 30% of Apple’s current services revenue comes from here. The more Apple sells its first-hand services, the larger the chunk of profits it can retain. However, third party apps are indeed a very profitable business, as Apple has very low costs to earn this revenue since it just needs to make its app store available.So far, we know that at the end of fiscal year 2021, Apple users had 785 million paid subscriptions across Apple’s first and third-party services. With a reasonable forecast of $76 billion revenue from services in 2022, Apple will reach a 235% growth from the $32.7 billion services revenue reported in 2017, the year when Apple started reporting its net sales with the breakdown between products and services. In the same time span, revenue from products increased 160% from $196.5 billion to the expected $315.9 billion at the end of fiscal year 2022. This growth is shown in the graph below where we see the annual sales split up in products and services.Author with data from Apple's Annual ReportsHowever, the importance of this graph is not only to highlight the growing chunk of the services revenue, but also to show that as services revenue grows, so does the gross margin. Currently, services account for about 20% of the total revenues, but the impact they have on margins is becoming more and more meaningful. In fact, the cost of services is decreasing as a percentage of total costs, moving from 10.43% in 2017 to 9.24% in 2022. In addition, and even more importantly, the gross margin Apple obtains from the services revenue is moving up from 55% in 2017 to around 72.5% at the end of FY22, as shown below. During the same period of time, the gross margin of the products revenue has seen actually a compression or around 2 pps.Author, with data from Apple's Annual ReportsNonetheless, even if the products gross margin shrunk, the increase in services gross margin, even if it has an impact on only 20% of total revenues, has been so meaningful to drag upwards the total gross margin of Apple that moved up from 38.5% in 2017 to almost 42% at the end of last year, with a forecast for this fiscal year to be still around this level.So, why can Apple afford not to raise prices this year? For sure, part of is a marketing expense that wants to make customers perceive the iPhone as somewhat in reach in an inflationary environment where everything costs more. But, the impact on the revenue will not be as great as we may expect because Apple knows that it is monetizing better all its users. Therefore, Apple knows that even though purchase price of the iPhones remains the same, the company is extracting more money from a device compared to what it was able to do just a year ago.In fact, if we divide last year's services revenue by Apple's users we see that in 2021 every user spent around $68 in annual services (keep in mind that the $2 per day reported above takes into account products and services together). This year Apple should see at least an 11.7% growth to $76 annual services revenue per user. Clearly, the annual services revenue per user is meaningful.We can also look at this revenue from another point of view to understand the possible growth for this segment. During the last earnings call,Tim Cook reported thatWe now have more than 860 million paid subscriptions across the services on our platform, which is up more than 160 million during the last 12 months alone.If we divide the $76.8 billion services revenue by the 860 million paid subscription we get that the revenue per subscription is $89, which proves once more that Apple knows it has room to turn more users into paying subscribers.In any case, this services growth is enough to offset the current inflation rate, which, as many believe, is set to come down during 2023, where services should have at least a 21% weight on total revenues. Thus, even if the products revenue stays flat (and this would be somewhat of a surprise given the fact that the premium segment is growing), we would have a fifth of total revenues bump up another 10-13%, with a very low cost of sales. The impact on the revenue might still be just around 2%, however the impact on the gross margin will be already more tangible, lifting it up above 42% thus leading Apple to new record profits.To this strategy, we could also add that Apple is developing its direct to consumer sales through its e-commerce. Some estimates show that around 15% of iPhone shipments, 30% of Mac/iPads, and 20-25% of Wearables (AirPods and Apple Watch) are sold directly through this channel which brings Apple to enjoy more margins while decreasing sales costs.We mentioned briefly that Apple could also a FX problem. While I think the company may expect a little weakening of the dollar, given the point it has reached this year, I think that the fact the company didn't raise prices show how much Apple relies on the shift towards services revenue.ConclusionThe first stock I invested in was Apple. At that time I didn't know how to read financial statements, nor did I have any particular experience of investing other than having heard a few ideas from my father who had been doing it. But I was sure of the brand. Alas, when I saw a 40% gain I sold my single share and I used the dividends received meanwhile to go drink a coffee. Had I kept that share, now I would have much more. However, the more I developed a passion for investing, the more I returned to Apple and started noticing that the company is not idle nor just sits on its earned status. I keep on seeing a company that becomes more profitable and that is actually set to have a moat no other subscription company has ever enjoyed with the combination of hardware devices that produce recurrent revenue. Financials are important and I always look at them, but in Apple's case (as in many others) it is important to understand the driving force behind these numbers in order to understand how a business can fare in the future. I think Apple is yet to deliver good and improving results as it leverages its moat and this is why I keep on rating it a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":498,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9938000676,"gmtCreate":1662516374996,"gmtModify":1676537078437,"author":{"id":"4108818574232180","authorId":"4108818574232180","name":"KY56","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4108818574232180","authorIdStr":"4108818574232180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.👍","listText":"Nice.👍","text":"Nice.👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938000676","repostId":"1119329366","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119329366","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1662514081,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119329366?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-07 09:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alphabet Stock: Is the Dip an Opportunity for Investors?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119329366","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Story HighlightsGOOGL stock is under pressure due to the pullback in ad spending and tough year-over","content":"<div>\n<p>Story HighlightsGOOGL stock is under pressure due to the pullback in ad spending and tough year-over-year comparisons.

However, its core business showed resilience during the last reported quarter. Meanwhile, its investments in AI and cloud augur well for growth.Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock has lost over one-fourth of its value so far this year. A slowdown in ad spending amid macro challenges and uncertainty and tough year-over-year comparisons have led to a moderation in its growth, dragging the stock price of this internet giant down. However, its recent quarterly performance (Q2FY22) showed resilience, with strength in the search business and momentum in the cloud segment. This has restored analysts’ and investors’ faith in GOOGL stock, highlighting an opportunity for investors interested in buying the dip.According to TipRanks, analysts seem to have a bullish outlook on GOOGL stock. Further,1.2% of the investors tracked by TipRanks increased their exposure to GOOGL stock in the past 30 days, indicating their positive stance on the stock.But before deciding what to do with GOOGL stock, let’s examine its recent performance and understand what’s in the store for it in the upcoming quarter.Bumpy Road AheadGOOGL missed analysts’ earnings expectations in the first two quarters of FY22. In the last reported quarter (Q2), GOOGL delivered earnings of $1.21 per share, compared to $1.36 per share in the same quarter last year. Further, Google’s Q2 earnings per share fell short of Street’s expectations of $1.27 per share.As for Q3, Wall Street expects GOOGL to deliver earnings of $1.28 per share, which reflects a continued decline on a year-over-year basis. Moderation in growth led by tough comparisons, decelerating ad revenues, and headwinds from fee changes could remain a drag for Google. Further, higher costs could put pressure on the company’s Q3 earnings.What Is GOOGL’s Price Target?GOOGL’s average price target of $142.84 implies 32.4% upside potential. Analysts are optimistic about GOOGL’s prospects despite moderation in its growth rate. GOOGL stock commands a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks based on 30 Buys and two Holds.Tigress Financial analyst Ivan Feinseth, who is bullish on GOOGL stock, recently raised his price target to $186 from 183. Feinseth said, “Strength in Cloud and Search continues to highlight the resiliency of its core business lines and ongoing investments in AI (Artificial Intelligence) computing continue to drive increased customer value and increasing shareholder value creation.”Further, the analyst sees Google’s $70 billion share repurchase plan, announced in April, as a positive catalyst for its stock.Bottom LineUndeniably, GOOGL is facing challenges due to the pullbacks in spending by some advertisers, adverse currency movement, and tough year-over-year comparisons. However, the company’s fundamentals remain intact with strength in its search and cloud segments.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":477,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933474115,"gmtCreate":1662341045637,"gmtModify":1676537039826,"author":{"id":"4108818574232180","authorId":"4108818574232180","name":"KY56","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4108818574232180","authorIdStr":"4108818574232180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.👍","listText":"Nice.👍","text":"Nice.👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933474115","repostId":"1165735347","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1165735347","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1662339884,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165735347?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-05 09:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"FTC Wants Zuckerberg to Seek Approval for Any Future Mergers","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165735347","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Agency continues to pursue personal case against Meta CEOThe agency agreed to dismiss Zuckerberg fro","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Agency continues to pursue personal case against Meta CEO</li><li>The agency agreed to dismiss Zuckerberg from a federal case</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2989a5d1757056d2ea25356ad522684e\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Mark Zuckerberg Photographer: George Frey/Bloomberg</span></p><p>The US Federal Trade Commission will continue to pursue a case personally against Meta Platforms Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg over the acquisition of a virtual reality app, a lawyer for the agency told the FTC’s in-house judge Friday.</p><p>The agency has asked its in-house court to force both Meta and Zuckerberg to seek approval from the FTC before engaging in any future deals.

Alibaba's U.S.-listed shares gained 1.8% in Thursday's session, though they were off 4.2% in Friday morning action and trading lower than they had been just prior to the report.Then again, analysts were encouraged by what they saw from Alibaba's management team, especially in the wake of a tough stretch for the company and the shares. Alibaba has been dogged by rising competition from live-streaming platforms.Shares have fallen 53% over the past 12 months, as the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF $(KWEB)$ has lost 42% and as the S&P 500  has dropped 6%.\"This is the first quarter in a while results are tracking in-line, and we feel the downward revision cycle appears to be approaching an end,\" Mizuho's James Lee wrote in a note to clients.He highlighted that while customer management revenue has been lagging gross merchandise volume given growing merchant expenses, Alibaba still beat expectations for earnings before interest, taxes, and appreciation in its China commerce business.\"Disciplined spending drives outperforming profitability,\" Lee continued, while reiterating his buy rating and $160 price target on the stock. He called Alibaba \"an attractive turnaround story in our coverage.\"Citi Research analyst Alicia Yap was similarly encouraged.\"We view the solid revs beat and stronger-than-expected profit beat as a long-waited print, which we believe could help to improve overall market sentiment on BABA's fundamentals and its continued effort to navigate through multiple challenges over the past 1.5 years,\" she wrote in a note to clients.For Yap, a highlight was Alibaba's mid-single-digit decline in paid gross merchandise volume at Taobao and Tmall, a performance she thought was \"ahead of many buy-side and sell-side expectations\" as \"many were expecting [growth to be] down mid-teens\" on a year-over-year basis.\"More importantly, we view the China commerce adj. EBITA...as positive and a 'needed surprise' to reassure investors on the company's cost optimization efforts and to help validate its profit generation ability,\" she continued. Yap rates the stock a buy with a $172 target price.Jefferies analyst Thomas Chong wrote that as Alibaba is cutting costs, its management team seems to be taking a thoughtful approach to the process.\"The pursuit of cost optimization and efficiencies is driven by strategic choice and judgment of macro environment rather than primarily financial consideration,\" he wrote. \"Cost efficiencies apply to business units with different strategies amidst the uncertainties in macro-environments.\"He has a buy rating and a $230 price target on Alibaba's U.S.-listed shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9908464459,"gmtCreate":1659418438671,"gmtModify":1705980176809,"author":{"id":"4108818574232180","authorId":"4108818574232180","name":"KY56","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4108818574232180","authorIdStr":"4108818574232180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.👍","listText":"Nice.👍","text":"Nice.👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9908464459","repostId":"9908487395","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9908487395,"gmtCreate":1659416974117,"gmtModify":1705980158206,"author":{"id":"3583897064119156","authorId":"3583897064119156","name":"vcvcbc","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90dcd0f544e6b3d9d7fbe65dbe16a0d3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583897064119156","authorIdStr":"3583897064119156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's been a tough year for stocks.

This way, Brin and Page continue to exercise absolute control of Alphabet&#39;s voting matters. It would take a shareholder vote to change that policy, and that idea is unlikely to win a majority of the votes unless at least one of Google&#39;s founding fathers is voting in favor.</p><p>So, Class B stock is not traded on the public market and there is no effective difference between Class A and Class C. Yes, Class A comes with voting powers, but as I mentioned, Brin and Page essentially run the show as they see fit.</p><p><b>OK, but is one category a better investment than the other?</b></p><p>The company then known as Google introduced the vote-less Class C shares on April 3, 2014. This stock split was performed as a special dividend, giving shareholders one brand-new Class C share for each Class A or Class B stub they already owned. The Class C stock carried on under the old GOOG ticker and Class A moved over to the new GOOGL symbol. The company counted its shares two weeks later, preparing its official filings for the first quarter of 2014, and the number of vote-holding Class A and Class B stubs added up to almost exactly the number of vote-less Class C shares.</p><p>Things have changed a bit over the past eight years. Alphabet has increased the number of A shares by 6.5%, according to this week&#39;s second-quarter report. Meanwhile, 20.4% of the Class B shares have been converted into other classes, and the Class C count is down by 8.2%. These figures took the recent 20-for-1 stock split into account, of course. Again, Brin and Page hold a 51.4% majority in this scenario. That&#39;s down from 61.3% in early 2014, but it&#39;s still a comfortably controlling stake.</p><p>You might expect the different share classes to deliver substantially different market returns, since the Class A stock has been diluted over time while Class C moved in the opposite direction. However, the company assigns its earnings per share and other financial results in a method that keeps the financial interests of each share equal in each report. So there is no fiscal reason to value one stock above or below the other. The voting powers don&#39;t make a real-world difference, either.</p><p>Therefore, the stocks have posted nearly identical shareholder returns since the split. Here&#39;s how the two market-beating charts have shaped up since April 2014:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4616e80631bf2e75cbfd4fd16873c3e9\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1219\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>GOOG data by YCharts</span></p><p><b>Is there really no difference at all?</b></p><p>You could consider other metrics, of course. Company insiders and financial institutions own more of the vote-empowered Class A stock than they do the non-voting Class C. The voting stock also experiences slightly heavier trading volumes on average.

Apple&#39;s revenue rose to $97.3 billion from $89.6 billion.</p><p>Apple generated $50.6 billion in revenue from its iPhone business, up from $47.9 billion a year before.</p><p>The company saw $7.6 billion in iPad revenue, down from $7.8 billion a year prior, as well as $10.4 billion in Mac revenue, which was up from $9.1 billion.</p><p>Cook noted that Apple was &#34;continuing to see such a strong demand for the iPad even while navigating the significant supply constraints we predicted at the start of the quarter.&#34;</p><h3>Apple&#39;s June Quarter Could Top Estimates</h3><p>Despite ongoing macro and supply-chain headwinds, there&#39;s a chance Apple could still report better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter ended in June with better-than-expected supply and manufacturing conditions. But things are likely to get tougher given the growing pressures on the consumer economy.</p><p>Analysts are looking for $1.15 per share in earnings on revenue of $82.63 billion from Apple for the fiscal third quarter. Those numbers don&#39;t look inspiring as compared to the prior-year period&#39;s earnings of $1.30 per share and revenue of $81.4 billion.</p><p>The company hadn&#39;t provided any guidance citing the near-term uncertainty surrounding its business. However, in reporting March quarter results, Apple had warned that supply constraints could reduce revenue in the quarter by $4 billion to $8 billion. But strong expectations for the iPhone 13 and upcoming iPhone 14 suggest that the impact may be somewhat mitigated.</p><p>In all, the company could spring a positive surprise when it releases its quarterly report later this month.</p><h3>Apple Remains Competitive Even As Smartphone Market Stumbles</h3><p>Global smartphone sales are declining this year. Counterpoint Research estimates that smartphone shipments were down 8% year over year in the first quarter of 2022 to 326 million units. The second quarter isn&#39;t looking good for smartphone sales, either, as shipments in May reportedly fell 10% year over year to 96 million units.</p><p>For the just-ended fiscal third quarter, some Wall Street analysts are bracing for a slight decline in iPhone 13 shipments. But analysts still expect the iPhone to fare better than rivals.</p><p>Apple might turn in better-than-expected results on the back of healthy iPhone demand. According to Morgan Stanley, the company reportedly built 44.3 million iPhones in the quarter that ended in June.</p><p>That doesn&#39;t seem surprising, as Apple has been outperforming the broader smartphone market. It increased its iPhone sales in the first quarter of the calendar year while the overall market declined, driven by the growing adoption of 5G smartphones.</p><p>Apple leads the 5G smartphone market and enjoys strong pricing power. So the iPhone could thrive despite the smartphone market&#39;s gloom. It is also worth noting that the company has a massive installed base of users who are in an upgrade window, which could set the company up for a strong second half. Foxconn, which is a key contractor that assembles iPhones, recently raised its guidance for the full year citing strong smartphone demand.</p><p>Apple&#39;s slightly higher expectations for the forthcoming iPhone 14 underscore a growing belief among Wall Street analysts that the company&#39;s sales are likely to hold up better than the broader smartphone industry if major economies enter a recession.</p><p>With Apple sitting at the higher end of the market, analysts believe that inflation in core items like food and fuel have taken a lesser toll on its relatively affluent user base.</p><h3>Strong Dollar, Supply Chain Could Dent Apple’s Sales</h3><p>Currency-rate headwinds are likely higher than Apple had forecast.</p><p>The huge rally in the U.S. dollar against European and Asian currencies continues to be a major factor in tech-sector earnings, analysts see substantial foreign-exchange risk for Apple.</p><p>In a research note, Goldman Sachs analyst Rod Hall said the effect of foreign exchange in the June quarter was likely worse than the company had expected.</p><p>Apple had projected revenue growth would take a 3 percentage-point hit from currency effects, but Hall believes that the actual impact will be at least a full point higher. Management projected an 8-point hit for the September quarter.</p><p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a> intends to slow its hiring and spending growth in some divisions next year to manage the current economic climate.</p><p>The decision comes as a result of the tech giant attempting to be more careful during periods of economic uncertainty.

A specific price for taking Tesla private wasn&#39;t discussed at that meeting, nor was there a signed document, Mr. Musk testified. Nevertheless, Mr. Musk said he walked away from the meeting thinking it was a &#34;done deal.&#34;</p><p>&#34;The thing that was really, absolutely unequivocal was that they were absolutely supportive of taking Tesla private,&#34; he said.</p><p>The class-action case being tried in federal court in San Francisco centers on the Tesla chief executive&#39;s tweets more than four years ago floating the possibility of taking the company private and the effect they had on individual investors&#39; decision-making. &#34;Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured,&#34; Mr. Musk, then serving as both Tesla&#39;s chairman and CEO, tweeted on Aug. 7, 2018. He later added, &#34;Investor support is confirmed.&#34;</p><p>An attorney for the group of investors bringing the suit against Mr. Musk, Tesla and the company&#39;s board at the time said Mr. Musk lied in saying he had secured funding to take Tesla private. Those lies, the attorney said, caused investors who relied on that and other untrue statements to lose money.</p><p>Tesla&#39;s stock closed up 11% the day Mr. Musk tweeted about potentially taking Tesla private, then gave back those gains and fell further as questions emerged about the deal, which never came to pass.</p><p>An attorney representing Mr. Musk and Tesla said last week that Mr. Musk&#39;s &#34;funding secured&#34; tweet was an inartful shorthand for what was going on at the time.</p><p>Mr. Musk, in court Friday, pointed to the limitations of communicating on Twitter, which imposes a character limitation on tweets. &#34;I think you can absolutely be truthful. But can you be comprehensive? Of course not, &#34; Mr. Musk told jurors.</p><p>Jurors last week also heard from two investors who lost money in the wake of Mr. Musk&#39;s tweets, including the lead plaintiff, investor Glen Littleton, who is seeking damages for those losses. Mr. Littleton testified that after seeing Mr. Musk&#39;s tweets, he moved quickly to liquidate certain positions, adding, &#34;This represented a threat to my livelihood.&#34;</p><p>Timothy Fries, a member of the class who testified Friday, said he lost $5,000 after buying 50 shares of Tesla stock following Mr. Musk&#39;s tweets. Those shares cost $370 apiece, an investment report showed. He sold those shares at a loss in early September 2018, he said, after it had become clear Tesla wouldn&#39;t go private.</p><p>Mr. Fries said he understood when he bought Tesla stock that a deal hadn&#39;t been completed. However, he added, &#34;I had felt that the funding had already been vetted, because the tweet said, &#39;funding secured.&#39;&#34;</p><p>A lawyer for Tesla and Mr. Musk has said his team had chosen not to enforce subpoenas calling on representatives of Saudi Arabia&#39;s PIF to testify. The sovereign-wealth fund didn&#39;t respond to a request for comment.</p><p>After Mr. Musk tweeted that he had funding secured to take Tesla private, a top representative for the fund texted the Tesla CEO, court records show.</p><p>&#34;PIF remains interested in potential investment opportunities that are consistent with its investment strategy and the EV space is one of interest,&#34; the PIF representative said on Aug. 10, 2018.

But oil is not going as far down as drivers across the world would like it to go—or as far as politicians up for reelection would like it to go. Barring a dramatic event of demand destruction, oil is going to remain expensive for the observable future.</p><h3>OPEC and its precious spare capacity</h3><p>The oil-producing cartel has repeatedly signaled that it is in no rush to deploy its spare capacity to boost global supply and bring down prices. One reason for this is the prices themselves: Saudi Arabia has been raising its oil prices for Asian buyers for several months in a row now because it can. The other reason is that spare capacity is limited.</p><p>Earlier this week, when it released its latest Monthly Oil Market Report, OPEC warned that global oil demand is set to rise to levels that would test its production capacity. Known as the “call on OPEC crude,” the amount of oil that the cartel needs to produce in order to cover global demand could rise to 32 million barrels daily in 2023, OPEC said.  That would be up from 28.7 million bpd as of this June, which means OPEC would need to boost its production by over 3 million bpd within the next year and a half to cover demand, coming mostly from China and India. And it may not have the spare capacity to do it. Indeed, Reuters earlier this year cited analysts warning that this spare capacity could slip below 1 million bpd by the end of 2022.</p><p>Not everyone agrees with OPEC’s demand forecast, of course. Energy Aspects, for instance, sees oil demand in 2023 at 101.8 million barrels daily, quite far below OPEC’s 103 million barrels daily. But even with demand at 101.8 million bpd, Energy Aspects’ Amrita Sen told the FT, “The market is incredibly tight and we do not think Opec have the capacity to deliver that.”</p><h3>U.S. shale continues cautiously</h3><p>While analysts discuss OPEC’s spare production capacity, in the United States, shale drillers continue their cautious approach to production growth amid continued calls from the White House to do just that. Since these calls have notably included a caveat that the energy transition remains priority number one, the industry has been in no rush to respond.</p><p>According to the latest EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report, total oil production in the week to July 15 averaged an estimated 11.9 million bpd, which was a decline of 100,000 bpd from the previous week. It was, however, an increase from a year ago, when production averaged 11.4 million bpd. The four-week average until July 15 was 12.025 million bpd.</p><p>This is quite a solid increase on the year but not a solid enough increase against the background of demand. The White House has accused the industry of profiteering from high oil prices in a tight supply environment. The industry has countered that it is suffering various challenges, such as material and equipment shortages, and inflation has not been a stranger to the oil industry, either.</p><p>Frac sand prices, for instance, had soared by 185 percent over the 12 months to March this year to some $40-$45 per ton. Steel prices have risen, too, and so have wages for oilfield workers amid a labor shortage. As a result, many shale drillers have turned to re-fracs to boost production.</p><p>Re-fracs, as the name suggests, refers to secondary fracking of an existing well to suck out the remaining crude at a much lower cost than drilling a new well. This counters accusations of profiteering, but it doesn’t help boost production faster.</p><h3>Investor pressure remains</h3><p>Meanwhile, pressure from investors remains substantial on the public players in the U.S. oil field and not just there. Big Oil is a special target for investor pressure. And it’s not just pressure to keep returning cash after years of burning it while pumping as much as possible until prices crashed. It’s pressure to signal more climate-related responsibility.</p><p>Shale drillers need to make more ambitious climate commitments, investment firm Kimmeridge Energy Investments said this week, as quoted by Bloomberg. In a white paper, the firm argued that the U.S. shale oil industry should seek to bring its net carbon footprint to zero by 2030. It should also provide consistent data in this respect to make it easier for investors to pick the best companies to invest in.</p><p>“We have a carbon problem, not an oil and gas problem,” Ben Dell, co-founder and managing partner of Kimmeridge, told Bloomberg in an interview. “If we can get our oil and gas product to have no carbon footprint on a net basis, and debate how you measure it and the merits, then there’s no reason we shouldn’t use it.”</p><p>Between OPEC’s shrinking production capacity, the U.S. shale labor shortage, and investors’ insistence on emission reporting and net-zero commitments, it’s not hard to see where oil prices are going, even if sanctions against Russia suddenly drop, which is not happening, even if the war in Ukraine ends, as multiple EU officials have said.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1614844034726","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

For the first time, an Apple Store — in Towson, Maryland — has voted to unionize. Is this a sign of trouble ahead for AAPL stock?</p><p>That’s one way of looking at it. I take a different viewpoint.

Going back to 2015, it was reported that each of those stores on average employs roughly 100 part-time and full-time employees. The current Apple Store employee count stands at roughly 65,000 and, according to the Washington Post, each of those workers currently earns from $17 to over $30 per hour.

In 2017, it was reported that Apple is the nation’s top-performing retailer in terms of sales per square foot. Apple Stores generated a staggering $5,546 per square foot in sales that year, leaving other retailers in the dust. Sales through Apple Stores and the company’s website made up 36% of the company’s $366 billion in revenue for 2021.</p><p>In comparison, the possibility of wage increases for Apple Store retail employees is a drop in the bucket. I’m not concerned about it derailing AAPL stock.</p><h3>Pipeline Products Set to Move the Needle on AAPL Stock</h3><p>If you are worried about the prospect of higher retail wages cutting into Apple’s growth momentum, consider the company’s product pipeline.</p><p>Those Apple Stores aren’t just retail outlets; they also serve as crucial demonstration locations. When a new product is released, consumers flock to Apple stores to see it and try it out for themselves. There’s a good chance that a demo and hands-on experience will lead to a sale.</p><p>With that in mind, think about the products we know are in Apple’s product pipeline. There’s the all-new M2 MacBook Air coming in July, a completely redesigned version of the company’s best-selling Mac. We know the iPhone 14 series will be announced in September. We also know the company has an AR headset in the wings — it has reportedly already been demonstrated to the Apple board of directors. That one will be positioned to take full advantage of the hype around the metaverse, tech’s next big thing.</p><p>In short, Apple has plenty of products in the pipeline that are capable of moving the AAPL stock needle. Don’t worry about Apple Store wages potentially eating into that revenue. Instead, celebrate the fact that Apple has highly trained retail employees and high profile locations where these new products can be demonstrated to further drum up sales.</p><h3>Bottom Line: Should You Buy AAPL Stock?</h3><p>There is no avoiding the reality of 2022. It has been tough on many tech stocks and Apple is no different. AAPL stock is down over 25% since the start of the year.</p><p>However, the long-term prospects for this tech titan are positive. AAPL stock still earns a “B” rating in my Portfolio Grader, with the company well-positioned to deliver, especially once we’re through the current uncertainty.

Could It Ever Become One?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2243965764","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Apple recently took another big step in the financial services space.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Apple</b> appeared to catch the market by surprise when it recently announced plans to offer a buy now, pay later (BNPL) offering in its wallet app, another step into the financial services space for the consumer tech giant. Many have long feared that tech giants like Apple could <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> day become banks and offer traditional financial services because of their superior customer acquisition and tech capabilities. With Apple continuing to walk and talk more like a bank, could the company ever get a banking charter and become one?</p><h2>The BNPL offering</h2><p>Customers who use Apple&#39;s wallet app to purchase items will have the option to put no money down and pay off the purchase through multiple installment payments with no extra fees or interest attached. The buy now, pay later payment format has become wildly popular among consumers and also has helped merchants increase sales.</p><p>To start, this will be a challenge to others in the BNPL space because of how well integrated the offering is. But Apple is also planning to fund the loans from its own balance sheet and make loan underwriting decisions through its own subsidiary, called Apple Financing. Typically, a lot of consumer tech companies will turn to partner banks to help them set up this kind of infrastructure, which is why this announcement has attracted so much interest.</p><p>Apple is still partnering with <b>Mastercard</b> to help it set up its BNPL offering. Mastercard has a white-label product and still communicates with the vendors to make the process possible. <b>Goldman Sachs </b>is the issuer of Apple&#39;s credit card. Apple Financing has also apparently obtained all of the necessary state licenses to issue the BNPL loans.</p><h2>Getting a bank charter</h2><p>While it&#39;s very uncommon for a large tech company to outright obtain a bank charter, large payments and tech company <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SQ\">Block</a></b> did manage to obtain an industrial bank charter after a very lengthy process. An industrial bank charter is for a state-chartered bank with insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), but it is a bit more limited in nature.</p><p>So, while Apple could try to pursue a bank charter, I doubt it would, given how long the process might take and the pushback it might receive from the banking industry and other regulators due to antitrust concerns. With more than 1.8 billion active iPhones, if Apple did ever pursue a charter and get more involved in traditional banking services, there could be concerns over data privacy.</p><p>A recent example that comes to mind is <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></b>&#39; foray into stablecoins, which are digital assets pegged to a commodity or fiat currency. Meta for years sank time and resources into building a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin called Diem, but kept running into regulatory issues. The company tried partnering with an issuing bank for the token but eventually ended up selling the project. Many surmise that regulatory issues were the primary reason for the sale.</p><p>Finally, keep in mind that banking is a very heavily regulated industry, with most banks having three regulators. Even Block, with its industrial charter, is still regulated by the FDIC and the Utah Department of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FISI\">Financial Institutions</a>. And then once a company is a bank, it has to raise and hold regulatory capital, which investors are not always so thrilled about.</p><h2>Will it ever happen?</h2><p>I find it unlikely that Apple would ever pursue a bank charter due to pushback from regulators, the lengthy application process, and the need to hold regulatory capital. But perhaps after setting up and running some of its banking infrastructure, Apple will get more interested, especially if it sees serious profit potential. But even without getting a charter, the fact that Apple is bringing its loan underwriting under its roof will give the company more data on its consumers&#39; finances, which could embolden Apple to offer even more financial services in the future.</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>Apple Is Starting to Walk and Talk Like a Bank.

Many have long feared that tech giants like Apple could one day become banks and offer traditional financial services because of their superior customer acquisition and tech capabilities. With Apple continuing to walk and talk more like a bank, could the company ever get a banking charter and become one?The BNPL offeringCustomers who use Apple's wallet app to purchase items will have the option to put no money down and pay off the purchase through multiple installment payments with no extra fees or interest attached. The buy now, pay later payment format has become wildly popular among consumers and also has helped merchants increase sales.To start, this will be a challenge to others in the BNPL space because of how well integrated the offering is. But Apple is also planning to fund the loans from its own balance sheet and make loan underwriting decisions through its own subsidiary, called Apple Financing. Typically, a lot of consumer tech companies will turn to partner banks to help them set up this kind of infrastructure, which is why this announcement has attracted so much interest.Apple is still partnering with Mastercard to help it set up its BNPL offering. Mastercard has a white-label product and still communicates with the vendors to make the process possible. Goldman Sachs is the issuer of Apple's credit card. Apple Financing has also apparently obtained all of the necessary state licenses to issue the BNPL loans.Getting a bank charterWhile it's very uncommon for a large tech company to outright obtain a bank charter, large payments and tech company Block did manage to obtain an industrial bank charter after a very lengthy process. An industrial bank charter is for a state-chartered bank with insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), but it is a bit more limited in nature.So, while Apple could try to pursue a bank charter, I doubt it would, given how long the process might take and the pushback it might receive from the banking industry and other regulators due to antitrust concerns. With more than 1.8 billion active iPhones, if Apple did ever pursue a charter and get more involved in traditional banking services, there could be concerns over data privacy.A recent example that comes to mind is Meta Platforms' foray into stablecoins, which are digital assets pegged to a commodity or fiat currency. Meta for years sank time and resources into building a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin called Diem, but kept running into regulatory issues. The company tried partnering with an issuing bank for the token but eventually ended up selling the project. Many surmise that regulatory issues were the primary reason for the sale.Finally, keep in mind that banking is a very heavily regulated industry, with most banks having three regulators. Even Block, with its industrial charter, is still regulated by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. And then once a company is a bank, it has to raise and hold regulatory capital, which investors are not always so thrilled about.Will it ever happen?I find it unlikely that Apple would ever pursue a bank charter due to pushback from regulators, the lengthy application process, and the need to hold regulatory capital. But perhaps after setting up and running some of its banking infrastructure, Apple will get more interested, especially if it sees serious profit potential. But even without getting a charter, the fact that Apple is bringing its loan underwriting under its roof will give the company more data on its consumers' finances, which could embolden Apple to offer even more financial services in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":147,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9910420254,"gmtCreate":1663667824878,"gmtModify":1676537312048,"author":{"id":"4108818574232180","authorId":"4108818574232180","name":"KY56","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4108818574232180","authorIdStr":"4108818574232180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.👍","listText":"Nice.👍","text":"Nice.👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9910420254","repostId":"2268192960","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2268192960","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1663666978,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2268192960?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-20 17:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Reason Why Apple Didn't Increase IPhone Prices","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2268192960","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryApple just unveiled its new iPhone 14, together with other key products.Despite big hoopla ab","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Apple just unveiled its new iPhone 14, together with other key products.</li><li>Despite big hoopla about price hikes up to $100, Apple surprised everybody by announcing it will keep iPhone 14 prices the same they were when the iPhone 13 was launched.</li><li>In this article we will try to understand why Apple can do this in an inflationary environment without compressing its margins.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87d98e1014a773e74de9ddeb3f9f3a05\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Drew Angerer</span></p><h2>Introduction</h2><p>Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced that is latest line-up of iPhones 14, while having enhanced qualities, will be sold all at the same prices as last year’s models, despite inflationary pressure that was leading many analyststo $100 price hike forecast.</p><p>This paints a picture that poses a danger for Apple: is the world&#39;s largest company going to see its margins shrink and its profitability reduced?</p><p>In this article, I would like to highlight what I think Apple&#39;s strategy may be to deliver yet again improving results that keep its high margins up.</p><h2>The context</h2><p>The research firm International Data Corp expects a worldwide decline in 2022 smartphone shipments of 6.5%. Nonetheless, the average price for new smartphones is expected to finish this year about 6% higher than last year, with the premium segment (where we find Apple) that is proving to be resilient to the economic turmoil with a 4% growth in market share to 16% of the total smartphone market.</p><p>The picture is somewhat mixed. On one side we have a weakening economy, on the other, we see Apple among the resilient businesses. But, by keeping iPhones prices the same, Apple will risk the undermining of its profits, given the fact that inflation drives up production costs. Some believe that Apple will take this hit, given its net income of $79 billion in the first three quarters of the year. However, I would like to show that we shouldn&#39;t be too rash in stating that Apple will just give up a small percentage, yet big in absolute terms, of its profits without doing anything to prevent it.</p><p>Apple sold an estimated 106 million iPhones through the first half of this year, an 8% increase and still expects to reach 220 million iPhones for 2022. Furthermore, the annual revenue estimates see Apple reaching an $88.47 billion 4th quarter, which, in confirmed, is a 6% growth YoY.</p><p>The analyst Dan Ives has also pointed out that Apple&#39;s initial order for 90 million iPhone 14 units has &#34;stayed firm&#34;. In fact, almost 25% of the 1 billion iPhone users across the world have not upgraded in 3.5 years and demand in China for the high-end devices continues to remain strong.</p><p>So, if sales are expected to grow 6% while inflation is around 8% it seems reasonable to expect Apple to suffer a bit. We could also account the strong dollar that is hurting Apple&#39;s revenue outside the U.S. All of this leads us to the question about Apple&#39;s next fiscal year.</p><h2>The business model: from a transactional to a subscription company</h2><p>If Apple were to rely only on its devices sales, then there wouldn&#39;t be a way around it: keeping prices the same means shrinking margins. However, is Apple only a transactional company?</p><p>Before we dive into some math, we have to consider that Apple is changing its business model, leveraging the fact that it is able to place its hardware devices in every corner. Instead of profiting only from selling hardware, Apple is gradually shifting its focus on maximizing the way to monetize the huge base of installed devices it has all over the world. In other words, Apple is considering every device not only as product sales revenue, but also as the key to earn more money from its user during the device lifetime. If we want to make it even clearer, Apple wants to make more money from its devices, especially the iPhones, the iPads and the MacBooks.</p><p>How is Apple achieving this? Through services. Apple offers different subscription services that offer recurrent revenue from every device. This is why Apple has started breaking down its revenue between products and services. By doing this, Apple can show how its real growth driver at the moment is found in the offered services.</p><p>In its annual report, Apple explains what it considers when it reports service sales:</p><blockquote>Services net sales include sales from the Company’s advertising, AppleCare, cloud, digital content, payment and other services. Services net sales also include amortization of the deferred value of services bundled in the sales price of certain products.</blockquote><p>I think it is still to understand the leveraging power Apple has. While many subscription based companies need to prove to their customers the value of their services, Apple has the huge advantage of basing its subscriptions on material goods that millions of customers around the world already have and want to have. I think this is Apple&#39;s real moat: it is materially present almost everywhere with its devices. Now it only needs to extract more money from their daily usage.</p><h2>Seeking recurrent revenue</h2><p>Back in March 2022, Bloomberg reported that Apple is working on a hardware subscription service for the iPhone which would not be equal to the full price split over 24 months, but that would really offer a new way of becoming an iPhone user. However, while this news is promising, we don&#39;t have enough data to make a forecast of the positive impact if will have on Apple.</p><p>Things are different if we look at the current services. Back in 2016, the average Apple user was estimated to pay $1 per day for hardware and services. According to Katy Huberty, an Apple analyst, at present the average user spends $280 each year on Apple hardware and an additional $69 on services. It is also widely believed that there are about 1 billion Apple users who can give Apple recurring sales income as they adopt new service subscriptions.</p><p>According to the analyst Woodring, Apple users will spend in a few years $2 per day on Apple products or services, a figure already achieved by US iPhone owners. This means that Apple will see a daily revenue of $2 billion, which leads to an annual revenue of $730 billion, which is twice the size of the revenue Apple reported in 2021. It can be reasonable to expect that as the hardware subscription service kicks off, the program will boost the adoption of Apple&#39;s first-party services, such as Music, iCloud, etc. This should have a positive impact on services growth but it should also diminish the company’s dependence on App Store sales. In fact, around 30% of Apple’s current services revenue comes from here. The more Apple sells its first-hand services, the larger the chunk of profits it can retain. However, third party apps are indeed a very profitable business, as Apple has very low costs to earn this revenue since it just needs to make its app store available.</p><p>So far, we know that at the end of fiscal year 2021, Apple users had 785 million paid subscriptions across Apple’s first and third-party services. With a reasonable forecast of $76 billion revenue from services in 2022, Apple will reach a 235% growth from the $32.7 billion services revenue reported in 2017, the year when Apple started reporting its net sales with the breakdown between products and services. In the same time span, revenue from products increased 160% from $196.5 billion to the expected $315.9 billion at the end of fiscal year 2022. This growth is shown in the graph below where we see the annual sales split up in products and services.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8d2547d7f4afd1fb9114caa34a469f3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"302\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author with data from Apple&#39;s Annual Reports</span></p><p>However, the importance of this graph is not only to highlight the growing chunk of the services revenue, but also to show that as services revenue grows, so does the gross margin. Currently, services account for about 20% of the total revenues, but the impact they have on margins is becoming more and more meaningful. In fact, the cost of services is decreasing as a percentage of total costs, moving from 10.43% in 2017 to 9.24% in 2022. In addition, and even more importantly, the gross margin Apple obtains from the services revenue is moving up from 55% in 2017 to around 72.5% at the end of FY22, as shown below. During the same period of time, the gross margin of the products revenue has seen actually a compression or around 2 pps.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7f90ad845ba6da80aebe515476acede2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"370\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author, with data from Apple&#39;s Annual Reports</span></p><p>Nonetheless, even if the products gross margin shrunk, the increase in services gross margin, even if it has an impact on only 20% of total revenues, has been so meaningful to drag upwards the total gross margin of Apple that moved up from 38.5% in 2017 to almost 42% at the end of last year, with a forecast for this fiscal year to be still around this level.</p><p>So, why can Apple afford not to raise prices this year? For sure, part of is a marketing expense that wants to make customers perceive the iPhone as somewhat in reach in an inflationary environment where everything costs more. But, the impact on the revenue will not be as great as we may expect because Apple knows that it is monetizing better all its users. Therefore, Apple knows that even though purchase price of the iPhones remains the same, the company is extracting more money from a device compared to what it was able to do just a year ago.</p><p>In fact, if we divide last year&#39;s services revenue by Apple&#39;s users we see that in 2021 every user spent around $68 in annual services (keep in mind that the $2 per day reported above takes into account products and services together). This year Apple should see at least an 11.7% growth to $76 annual services revenue per user. Clearly, the annual services revenue per user is meaningful.</p><p>We can also look at this revenue from another point of view to understand the possible growth for this segment. During the last earnings call,Tim Cook reported that</p><blockquote>We now have more than 860 million paid subscriptions across the services on our platform, which is up more than 160 million during the last 12 months alone.</blockquote><p>If we divide the $76.8 billion services revenue by the 860 million paid subscription we get that the revenue per subscription is $89, which proves once more that Apple knows it has room to turn more users into paying subscribers.</p><p>In any case, this services growth is enough to offset the current inflation rate, which, as many believe, is set to come down during 2023, where services should have at least a 21% weight on total revenues. Thus, even if the products revenue stays flat (and this would be somewhat of a surprise given the fact that the premium segment is growing), we would have a fifth of total revenues bump up another 10-13%, with a very low cost of sales. The impact on the revenue might still be just around 2%, however the impact on the gross margin will be already more tangible, lifting it up above 42% thus leading Apple to new record profits.</p><p>To this strategy, we could also add that Apple is developing its direct to consumer sales through its e-commerce. Some estimates show that around 15% of iPhone shipments, 30% of Mac/iPads, and 20-25% of Wearables (AirPods and Apple Watch) are sold directly through this channel which brings Apple to enjoy more margins while decreasing sales costs.</p><p>We mentioned briefly that Apple could also a FX problem. While I think the company may expect a little weakening of the dollar, given the point it has reached this year, I think that the fact the company didn&#39;t raise prices show how much Apple relies on the shift towards services revenue.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>The first stock I invested in was Apple. At that time I didn&#39;t know how to read financial statements, nor did I have any particular experience of investing other than having heard a few ideas from my father who had been doing it. But I was sure of the brand. Alas, when I saw a 40% gain I sold my single share and I used the dividends received meanwhile to go drink a coffee. Had I kept that share, now I would have much more. However, the more I developed a passion for investing, the more I returned to Apple and started noticing that the company is not idle nor just sits on its earned status. I keep on seeing a company that becomes more profitable and that is actually set to have a moat no other subscription company has ever enjoyed with the combination of hardware devices that produce recurrent revenue. Financials are important and I always look at them, but in Apple&#39;s case (as in many others) it is important to understand the driving force behind these numbers in order to understand how a business can fare in the future. I think Apple is yet to deliver good and improving results as it leverages its moat and this is why I keep on rating it a buy.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Nonetheless, the average price for new smartphones is expected to finish this year about 6% higher than last year, with the premium segment (where we find Apple) that is proving to be resilient to the economic turmoil with a 4% growth in market share to 16% of the total smartphone market.The picture is somewhat mixed. On one side we have a weakening economy, on the other, we see Apple among the resilient businesses. But, by keeping iPhones prices the same, Apple will risk the undermining of its profits, given the fact that inflation drives up production costs. Some believe that Apple will take this hit, given its net income of $79 billion in the first three quarters of the year. However, I would like to show that we shouldn't be too rash in stating that Apple will just give up a small percentage, yet big in absolute terms, of its profits without doing anything to prevent it.Apple sold an estimated 106 million iPhones through the first half of this year, an 8% increase and still expects to reach 220 million iPhones for 2022. Furthermore, the annual revenue estimates see Apple reaching an $88.47 billion 4th quarter, which, in confirmed, is a 6% growth YoY.The analyst Dan Ives has also pointed out that Apple's initial order for 90 million iPhone 14 units has \"stayed firm\". In fact, almost 25% of the 1 billion iPhone users across the world have not upgraded in 3.5 years and demand in China for the high-end devices continues to remain strong.So, if sales are expected to grow 6% while inflation is around 8% it seems reasonable to expect Apple to suffer a bit. We could also account the strong dollar that is hurting Apple's revenue outside the U.S. All of this leads us to the question about Apple's next fiscal year.The business model: from a transactional to a subscription companyIf Apple were to rely only on its devices sales, then there wouldn't be a way around it: keeping prices the same means shrinking margins. However, is Apple only a transactional company?Before we dive into some math, we have to consider that Apple is changing its business model, leveraging the fact that it is able to place its hardware devices in every corner. Instead of profiting only from selling hardware, Apple is gradually shifting its focus on maximizing the way to monetize the huge base of installed devices it has all over the world. In other words, Apple is considering every device not only as product sales revenue, but also as the key to earn more money from its user during the device lifetime. If we want to make it even clearer, Apple wants to make more money from its devices, especially the iPhones, the iPads and the MacBooks.How is Apple achieving this? Through services. Apple offers different subscription services that offer recurrent revenue from every device. This is why Apple has started breaking down its revenue between products and services. By doing this, Apple can show how its real growth driver at the moment is found in the offered services.In its annual report, Apple explains what it considers when it reports service sales:Services net sales include sales from the Company’s advertising, AppleCare, cloud, digital content, payment and other services. Services net sales also include amortization of the deferred value of services bundled in the sales price of certain products.I think it is still to understand the leveraging power Apple has. While many subscription based companies need to prove to their customers the value of their services, Apple has the huge advantage of basing its subscriptions on material goods that millions of customers around the world already have and want to have. I think this is Apple's real moat: it is materially present almost everywhere with its devices. Now it only needs to extract more money from their daily usage.Seeking recurrent revenueBack in March 2022, Bloomberg reported that Apple is working on a hardware subscription service for the iPhone which would not be equal to the full price split over 24 months, but that would really offer a new way of becoming an iPhone user. However, while this news is promising, we don't have enough data to make a forecast of the positive impact if will have on Apple.Things are different if we look at the current services. Back in 2016, the average Apple user was estimated to pay $1 per day for hardware and services. According to Katy Huberty, an Apple analyst, at present the average user spends $280 each year on Apple hardware and an additional $69 on services. It is also widely believed that there are about 1 billion Apple users who can give Apple recurring sales income as they adopt new service subscriptions.According to the analyst Woodring, Apple users will spend in a few years $2 per day on Apple products or services, a figure already achieved by US iPhone owners. This means that Apple will see a daily revenue of $2 billion, which leads to an annual revenue of $730 billion, which is twice the size of the revenue Apple reported in 2021. It can be reasonable to expect that as the hardware subscription service kicks off, the program will boost the adoption of Apple's first-party services, such as Music, iCloud, etc. This should have a positive impact on services growth but it should also diminish the company’s dependence on App Store sales. In fact, around 30% of Apple’s current services revenue comes from here. The more Apple sells its first-hand services, the larger the chunk of profits it can retain. However, third party apps are indeed a very profitable business, as Apple has very low costs to earn this revenue since it just needs to make its app store available.So far, we know that at the end of fiscal year 2021, Apple users had 785 million paid subscriptions across Apple’s first and third-party services. With a reasonable forecast of $76 billion revenue from services in 2022, Apple will reach a 235% growth from the $32.7 billion services revenue reported in 2017, the year when Apple started reporting its net sales with the breakdown between products and services. In the same time span, revenue from products increased 160% from $196.5 billion to the expected $315.9 billion at the end of fiscal year 2022. This growth is shown in the graph below where we see the annual sales split up in products and services.Author with data from Apple's Annual ReportsHowever, the importance of this graph is not only to highlight the growing chunk of the services revenue, but also to show that as services revenue grows, so does the gross margin. Currently, services account for about 20% of the total revenues, but the impact they have on margins is becoming more and more meaningful. In fact, the cost of services is decreasing as a percentage of total costs, moving from 10.43% in 2017 to 9.24% in 2022. In addition, and even more importantly, the gross margin Apple obtains from the services revenue is moving up from 55% in 2017 to around 72.5% at the end of FY22, as shown below. During the same period of time, the gross margin of the products revenue has seen actually a compression or around 2 pps.Author, with data from Apple's Annual ReportsNonetheless, even if the products gross margin shrunk, the increase in services gross margin, even if it has an impact on only 20% of total revenues, has been so meaningful to drag upwards the total gross margin of Apple that moved up from 38.5% in 2017 to almost 42% at the end of last year, with a forecast for this fiscal year to be still around this level.So, why can Apple afford not to raise prices this year? For sure, part of is a marketing expense that wants to make customers perceive the iPhone as somewhat in reach in an inflationary environment where everything costs more. But, the impact on the revenue will not be as great as we may expect because Apple knows that it is monetizing better all its users. Therefore, Apple knows that even though purchase price of the iPhones remains the same, the company is extracting more money from a device compared to what it was able to do just a year ago.In fact, if we divide last year's services revenue by Apple's users we see that in 2021 every user spent around $68 in annual services (keep in mind that the $2 per day reported above takes into account products and services together). This year Apple should see at least an 11.7% growth to $76 annual services revenue per user. Clearly, the annual services revenue per user is meaningful.We can also look at this revenue from another point of view to understand the possible growth for this segment. During the last earnings call,Tim Cook reported thatWe now have more than 860 million paid subscriptions across the services on our platform, which is up more than 160 million during the last 12 months alone.If we divide the $76.8 billion services revenue by the 860 million paid subscription we get that the revenue per subscription is $89, which proves once more that Apple knows it has room to turn more users into paying subscribers.In any case, this services growth is enough to offset the current inflation rate, which, as many believe, is set to come down during 2023, where services should have at least a 21% weight on total revenues. Thus, even if the products revenue stays flat (and this would be somewhat of a surprise given the fact that the premium segment is growing), we would have a fifth of total revenues bump up another 10-13%, with a very low cost of sales. The impact on the revenue might still be just around 2%, however the impact on the gross margin will be already more tangible, lifting it up above 42% thus leading Apple to new record profits.To this strategy, we could also add that Apple is developing its direct to consumer sales through its e-commerce. Some estimates show that around 15% of iPhone shipments, 30% of Mac/iPads, and 20-25% of Wearables (AirPods and Apple Watch) are sold directly through this channel which brings Apple to enjoy more margins while decreasing sales costs.We mentioned briefly that Apple could also a FX problem. While I think the company may expect a little weakening of the dollar, given the point it has reached this year, I think that the fact the company didn't raise prices show how much Apple relies on the shift towards services revenue.ConclusionThe first stock I invested in was Apple. At that time I didn't know how to read financial statements, nor did I have any particular experience of investing other than having heard a few ideas from my father who had been doing it. But I was sure of the brand. Alas, when I saw a 40% gain I sold my single share and I used the dividends received meanwhile to go drink a coffee. Had I kept that share, now I would have much more. However, the more I developed a passion for investing, the more I returned to Apple and started noticing that the company is not idle nor just sits on its earned status. I keep on seeing a company that becomes more profitable and that is actually set to have a moat no other subscription company has ever enjoyed with the combination of hardware devices that produce recurrent revenue. Financials are important and I always look at them, but in Apple's case (as in many others) it is important to understand the driving force behind these numbers in order to understand how a business can fare in the future. I think Apple is yet to deliver good and improving results as it leverages its moat and this is why I keep on rating it a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":498,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9938000676,"gmtCreate":1662516374996,"gmtModify":1676537078437,"author":{"id":"4108818574232180","authorId":"4108818574232180","name":"KY56","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4108818574232180","authorIdStr":"4108818574232180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.👍","listText":"Nice.👍","text":"Nice.👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938000676","repostId":"1119329366","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119329366","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1662514081,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119329366?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-07 09:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alphabet Stock: Is the Dip an Opportunity for Investors?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119329366","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Story HighlightsGOOGL stock is under pressure due to the pullback in ad spending and tough year-over","content":"<div>\n<p>Story HighlightsGOOGL stock is under pressure due to the pullback in ad spending and tough year-over-year comparisons.

However, its core business showed resilience during the last reported quarter. Meanwhile, its investments in AI and cloud augur well for growth.Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock has lost over one-fourth of its value so far this year. A slowdown in ad spending amid macro challenges and uncertainty and tough year-over-year comparisons have led to a moderation in its growth, dragging the stock price of this internet giant down. However, its recent quarterly performance (Q2FY22) showed resilience, with strength in the search business and momentum in the cloud segment. This has restored analysts’ and investors’ faith in GOOGL stock, highlighting an opportunity for investors interested in buying the dip.According to TipRanks, analysts seem to have a bullish outlook on GOOGL stock. Further,1.2% of the investors tracked by TipRanks increased their exposure to GOOGL stock in the past 30 days, indicating their positive stance on the stock.But before deciding what to do with GOOGL stock, let’s examine its recent performance and understand what’s in the store for it in the upcoming quarter.Bumpy Road AheadGOOGL missed analysts’ earnings expectations in the first two quarters of FY22. In the last reported quarter (Q2), GOOGL delivered earnings of $1.21 per share, compared to $1.36 per share in the same quarter last year. Further, Google’s Q2 earnings per share fell short of Street’s expectations of $1.27 per share.As for Q3, Wall Street expects GOOGL to deliver earnings of $1.28 per share, which reflects a continued decline on a year-over-year basis. Moderation in growth led by tough comparisons, decelerating ad revenues, and headwinds from fee changes could remain a drag for Google. Further, higher costs could put pressure on the company’s Q3 earnings.What Is GOOGL’s Price Target?GOOGL’s average price target of $142.84 implies 32.4% upside potential. Analysts are optimistic about GOOGL’s prospects despite moderation in its growth rate. GOOGL stock commands a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks based on 30 Buys and two Holds.Tigress Financial analyst Ivan Feinseth, who is bullish on GOOGL stock, recently raised his price target to $186 from 183. Feinseth said, “Strength in Cloud and Search continues to highlight the resiliency of its core business lines and ongoing investments in AI (Artificial Intelligence) computing continue to drive increased customer value and increasing shareholder value creation.”Further, the analyst sees Google’s $70 billion share repurchase plan, announced in April, as a positive catalyst for its stock.Bottom LineUndeniably, GOOGL is facing challenges due to the pullbacks in spending by some advertisers, adverse currency movement, and tough year-over-year comparisons. However, the company’s fundamentals remain intact with strength in its search and cloud segments.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":477,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994913016,"gmtCreate":1661557716937,"gmtModify":1676536539197,"author":{"id":"4108818574232180","authorId":"4108818574232180","name":"KY56","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4108818574232180","authorIdStr":"4108818574232180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.👍","listText":"Nice.👍","text":"Nice.👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994913016","repostId":"1175815664","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175815664","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1661557341,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175815664?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-27 07:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"CEO Patrick Gelsinger Just Bought Intel Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175815664","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"CEO Pat Gelsinger purchased 14,800 shares of Intel.The shares were purchased at an average price of ","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>CEO Pat Gelsinger purchased 14,800 shares of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a>.</li><li>The shares were purchased at an average price of $33.86.</li><li>Shares of INTC stock are down over 35% year to date.</li></ul><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel </a> stock is in focus following a half-a-million-dollar insider purchase by CEO Patrick Gelsinger.

The purchase came just one day after Intel announced a $30 billion collaboration with Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE:BAM) to expand its chip-making facilities in Arizona.The collaboration will see Brookfield invest up to $15 billion in return for a 49% stake in the expansion project. Intel will own the remaining stake and oversee operating control of its two facilities in Arizona. Profits from the facilities will be evenly split between the two parties.In addition, Intel finance chief David Zinsner disclosed that Intel will pay Brookfield interest between 4.4% and 8.5% for its investment. He added that the collaboration “builds on the momentum from the recent passage of the CHIPS Act in the U.S.”With that in mind, let’s get into the details of Gelsinger’s INTC stock purchase.INTC Stock: CEO Pat Gelsinger Purchases 14,800 SharesOn Aug. 24, Gelsinger purchased14,800 sharesat an average price of $33.86 per share. After the purchase, he directly owns 77,216 shares, while his trust owns 266,530 shares. The CEO’s purchase seems to be a stamp of approval for Intel’s recent investment.In addition, Gelsinger, along with other industry officials, expects annual semiconductor sales to almost double by 2030 to over $1 trillion. Semiconductors are used in a multitude of everyday products, ranging from cell phones to vehicles.The recently approved CHIPS Act also marks a positive catalyst for Intel. The act will provide $52.7 billion of subsidies for U.S. semiconductor research and development.Let’s take a look at other investors betting on Intel’s success.Who Else Is Betting Big on Intel?Trackinginstitutional ownershipis important, as these large investors provide liquidity and price support for stocks.

Despite the price for goods and services rising at the quickest pace in four decades, Warren Buffett has been aggressively putting his company&#39;s capital to work in a number of stocks. What follows are five stocks Buffett has piled into as inflation soars.</p><h2>Chevron &amp; Occidental Petroleum</h2><p>The first two stocks Warren Buffett has been buying hand over fist as inflation skyrockets are energy giants <b>Chevron</b> and <b>Occidental</b> <b>Petroleum</b>. I&#39;m discussing both companies together because their operating models are extremely similar, and Buffett&#39;s reasoning for piling into these companies is as well.</p><p>During the first quarter, Berkshire Hathaway added slightly more than 120.9 million shares of Chevron, making it the fifth-largest position in Buffett&#39;s portfolio, as of July 22. Meanwhile, the share-buying of Occidental Petroleum has been more methodical, with Berkshire Hathaway filing paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seemingly every couple of weeks to note a new purchase. Close to 50 million total shares of Occidental have been bought by Buffett&#39;s company since the end of the first quarter.</p><p>With inflation at a 40-year high, buying mammoth stakes in Chevron and Occidental Petroleum likely signals that Buffett and his investing team expect oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid prices to remain elevated for an extended period of time. Both Chevron and Occidental generate their juiciest operating margins from their upstream drilling segments. In other words, these stocks are a way to take advantage of sustainably higher energy commodity prices.</p><p>Chevron and Occidental also happen to be integrated oil stocks. This means that, in addition to their prized upstream assets, they have midstream (e.g., transmission pipelines and/or storage) and downstream assets (refineries and/or chemical plants). If and when the price of energy commodities falls, downstream assets benefit from lower input costs and higher demand. Meanwhile, midstream assets often have fixed-fee or volume-based deals in place, which are generally immune to wild swings in commodity prices.</p><p>The one thing to note that is different about Chevron and Occidental is their respective balance sheets. Chevron has among the lowest debt-to-equity ratios in the oil industry, whereas Occidental was buried in debt following its acquisition of Anadarko in 2019.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44a30c4dfd6886a29e22d3c6558c3e56\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><h2>Citigroup &amp; Ally Financial</h2><p>The third and fourth stocks Warren Buffett has been piling into as inflation ascends to historic highs are bank stocks <b>Citigroup</b> and <b>Ally Financial</b>. Yet again I&#39;ve chosen to discuss two companies at once because the thesis behind Buffett&#39;s purchases should be nearly identical for both stocks.</p><p>During the first quarter, Berkshire Hathaway gobbled up more than 55.1 million shares of Citigroup, as well as nearly 9 million shares of Ally Financial. The Ally position is reasonably small (it was worth about $300 million as of this past weekend), with the Citigroup stake nearing $2.9 billion.</p><p>Under normal circumstances, buying bank stocks with fears of a recession looming wouldn&#39;t be an advisable strategy. That&#39;s because banks typically face a double whammy when a recession strikes. First, they contend with rising loan delinquencies as economic weakness weighs on consumers and businesses. Second, the Federal Reserve would often come to the rescue by lowering interest rates to encourage lending. Lower interest rates reduce the net interest income-earning potential of banks.</p><p>But this time really is different. With inflation soaring, the nation&#39;s central bank has no choice but to aggressively increase its federal funds target rate to get rising prices under control. Even though loan delinquencies could rise and Citigroup and Ally Financial could be inclined to set aside capital for loan losses, both banks should benefit from higher net-interest income as a result of the Fed&#39;s hawkish monetary policy shift.</p><p>Warren Buffett is also a big fan of playing a simple numbers game that favors the patient. You see, bank stocks like Citigroup and Ally Financial are cyclical. When the economy struggles, banks struggle. Conversely, when the U.S. and global economy are firing on all cylinders, banks are typically growing their loans and deposits.</p><p>The thing is, recessions only last for a couple of quarters, whereas periods of economic expansion can go on for years. Buying shares of Citigroup and Ally Financial is a smart way of taking advantage of this simple numbers game and benefiting from the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy.</p><h2>Activision Blizzard</h2><p>The fifth stock Warren Buffett has piled into as inflation skyrockets is gaming company <b>Activision Blizzard</b>. Although Berkshire ended the first quarter with an 8.2% stake in Activision, the Oracle of Omaha noted during his company&#39;s annual shareholder meeting in late April that this position had grown to 9.5%. A 9.5% stake would mean Berkshire owns around 74 million shares.</p><p>The Activision Blizzard stake is nothing short of a head-scratcher -- until you dig a bit deeper. I say this because Buffett isn&#39;t known for investing in tech stocks -- especially tech stocks focused on gaming. Personally, I&#39;d be surprised if the Oracle of Omaha could name a single gaming franchise that drives Activision&#39;s top line.</p><p>So, &#34;Why Activision?&#34; The simple answer is the arbitrage opportunity. In mid-January, <b>Microsoft</b> announced an all-cash offer to acquire Activision for $95 per share. Microsoft already has a sizable gaming presence; however, it&#39;s likely angling to use Activision as its on-ramp to the metaverse.</p><p>What makes this deal so appealing to Buffett is how far below the all-cash offer price Activision has traded. As of this past weekend, shares of the gaming company were roughly 20% below Microsoft&#39;s buyout price. While there&#39;s some concern about whether international regulators will allow the deal to close, a completed buyout would result in a 20% gain from current levels. A 20% return in a year or less would put even historically high inflation in its place.</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 Stocks Warren Buffett Has Piled Into as Inflation Skyrockets</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 Stocks Warren Buffett Has Piled Into as Inflation Skyrockets\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-28 14:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/07/27/5-stocks-warren-buffett-piled-into-inflation-soars/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has a knack for making money.

Yet again I've chosen to discuss two companies at once because the thesis behind Buffett's purchases should be nearly identical for both stocks.During the first quarter, Berkshire Hathaway gobbled up more than 55.1 million shares of Citigroup, as well as nearly 9 million shares of Ally Financial.

Although Berkshire ended the first quarter with an 8.2% stake in Activision, the Oracle of Omaha noted during his company's annual shareholder meeting in late April that this position had grown to 9.5%. A 9.5% stake would mean Berkshire owns around 74 million shares.The Activision Blizzard stake is nothing short of a head-scratcher -- until you dig a bit deeper. I say this because Buffett isn't known for investing in tech stocks -- especially tech stocks focused on gaming. Personally, I'd be surprised if the Oracle of Omaha could name a single gaming franchise that drives Activision's top line.So, \"Why Activision?\" The simple answer is the arbitrage opportunity. In mid-January, Microsoft announced an all-cash offer to acquire Activision for $95 per share. Microsoft already has a sizable gaming presence; however, it's likely angling to use Activision as its on-ramp to the metaverse.What makes this deal so appealing to Buffett is how far below the all-cash offer price Activision has traded. As of this past weekend, shares of the gaming company were roughly 20% below Microsoft's buyout price. While there's some concern about whether international regulators will allow the deal to close, a completed buyout would result in a 20% gain from current levels. A 20% return in a year or less would put even historically high inflation in its place.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076495447,"gmtCreate":1657887387389,"gmtModify":1676536077205,"author":{"id":"4108818574232180","authorId":"4108818574232180","name":"KY56","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4108818574232180","authorIdStr":"4108818574232180"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice.👍😊","listText":"Nice.👍😊","text":"Nice.👍😊","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076495447","repostId":"1123485307","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123485307","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657886707,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123485307?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-15 20:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Citigroup GAAP EPS of $2.19 Beats By $0.52, Revenue of $19.64B Beats By $1.32B","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123485307","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Citigroup(NYSE:C): Q2 GAAP EPS of $2.19 beats by $0.52.Revenue of $19.64B (+12.4% Y/Y) beats by $1.3","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Citigroup(NYSE:C): Q2 GAAP EPS of $2.19 beats by $0.52.</li><li>Revenue of $19.64B (+12.4% Y/Y) beats by $1.32B.</li><li>Revenues increased 11% from the prior-year period, with growth in both net interest income as well as non-interest revenue.</li><li>Citigroup cost of credit of $1.3 billion in the second quarter 2022 compared to $(1.1) billion in the prior-year period, reflecting a net build in the allowance for credit losses (ACL) of $0.4 billion, compared to a net ACL release of $2.4 billion in the prior-year period, partially offset by lower net credit losses.</li></ul></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The test is currently visible to a small number of Amazon employees, according to a person familiar with it.</p><p>Amazon joins other major technology companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. and Google parent Alphabet Inc. that have attempted to bump up engagement through short videos and an endless stream of content.</p><p>The portal being tested under the internal name “Inspire,” appears as a diamond widget on the home page of Amazon’s app, according to Israeli-based artificial intelligence firm Watchful Technologies Ltd., which has tracked the feature’s use. The widget brings shoppers to a feed that shows a stream of images and videos of products, with shoppers able to like, share and ultimately purchase items. While most of the feed now appears as still pictures, Watchful researchers said the portal also features video content.</p><p>An Amazon spokeswoman said the company is “constantly testing new features to help make customers’ lives a little easier.” Amazon often experiments with new products and services for employees before releasing them publicly. It is possible the company may alter the “Inspire” feature significantly before launching it to the public or not release it at all.</p><p>Amazon is the latest tech giant to try to capitalize on the sharp rise and popularity of TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance Ltd.</p><p>TikTok—which made its name with lighthearted videos of people dancing, but has grown to include large segments of groups discussing everything from books to international crises—was the most downloaded app of 2021. Roughly 67% of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 use the app, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, and TikTok’s top content producers can make millions each year. Charli D’Amelio, for example, who started posting videos of herself dancing on TikTok in 2019, made $17.5 million last year, according to Forbes.</p><p>Amazon’s Inspire “could become the kind of really sticky social media way to browse,” Watchful researcher Daniel Buchuk said. “It’s a way of adopting a new social experience on the app.”</p><p>Meta and Google have launched similar in-app features that closely resemble TikTok’s format. Meta in February launched its short-video product, “Reels,” for all global Facebook users after earlier introducing the feature in 2020.

The test is currently visible to a small number of Amazon employees, according to a person familiar with it.Amazon joins other major technology companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. and Google parent Alphabet Inc. that have attempted to bump up engagement through short videos and an endless stream of content.The portal being tested under the internal name “Inspire,” appears as a diamond widget on the home page of Amazon’s app, according to Israeli-based artificial intelligence firm Watchful Technologies Ltd., which has tracked the feature’s use. The widget brings shoppers to a feed that shows a stream of images and videos of products, with shoppers able to like, share and ultimately purchase items. While most of the feed now appears as still pictures, Watchful researchers said the portal also features video content.An Amazon spokeswoman said the company is “constantly testing new features to help make customers’ lives a little easier.” Amazon often experiments with new products and services for employees before releasing them publicly. It is possible the company may alter the “Inspire” feature significantly before launching it to the public or not release it at all.Amazon is the latest tech giant to try to capitalize on the sharp rise and popularity of TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance Ltd.TikTok—which made its name with lighthearted videos of people dancing, but has grown to include large segments of groups discussing everything from books to international crises—was the most downloaded app of 2021. Roughly 67% of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 use the app, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, and TikTok’s top content producers can make millions each year. Charli D’Amelio, for example, who started posting videos of herself dancing on TikTok in 2019, made $17.5 million last year, according to Forbes.Amazon’s Inspire “could become the kind of really sticky social media way to browse,” Watchful researcher Daniel Buchuk said. “It’s a way of adopting a new social experience on the app.”Meta and Google have launched similar in-app features that closely resemble TikTok’s format. Meta in February launched its short-video product, “Reels,” for all global Facebook users after earlier introducing the feature in 2020. The company has competed with TikTok for young users, and company executives have pegged its future to video content, saying video now accounts for more than half the time users spend on Facebook and Instagram.Google has also poured resources into short-form video.

While 2022 started off on a high, increases in inflation have severely stunted consumer spending, leading to a stock market sell-off.</p><p>Although Apple shares have dipped 20% year to date, the iPhone manufacturer has fared better than most tech companies this year. For instance, <b>Netflix</b> and <b>AMD</b> shares are down more than 50% year to date. Despite a slowdown in spending in multiple industries, Apple has retained strong demand and sales of its products.</p><p>Here&#39;s why Apple is a stellar buy during a stock dip.</p><h2>Beating the odds</h2><p>Apple posted its 2022 fourth-quarter earnings on Oct. 27, reporting a year-over-year revenue rise of 8.1% to $90.15 billion, which beat analysts&#39; expectations by $1.38 billion. Operating income came in at $24.89 billion, rising 4.6%.</p><p>The company&#39;s growth stemmed primarily from high demand for its iPhone 14 lineup, launched in September, and products within its Mac segment.</p><p>According to IDC, worldwide smartphone shipments declined by 9.7% in the last year, while PC shipments similarly fell 15%. However, Apple reported 9.6% revenue growth in its iPhone segment, hitting $42.6 billion, and a 25.3% rise in revenue for its Mac segment to $11.5 billion.</p><p>In addition to defying market declines, Apple has retained a promising amount of free cash flow compared to the competition. Free cash flow has become a crucial metric this year, as the higher the figure, the better equipped a company will be to overcome a potential recession in 2023.</p><p>Apple&#39;s free cash flow is considerably higher than its peers&#39;, as seen in the table below.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/24a2e07100b3f906ecd97e9c0c158291\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"483\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>With $111.4 billion in free cash flow, Apple appears to have what it needs to get through further economic declines and continue investing in its business.</p><h2>iPhone production strains</h2><p>At the moment, prospective investors might be most concerned over Apple&#39;s reliance on China for its iPhone production. The country has suffered a spike in COVID-19 cases, resulting in new regulations. Factories can remain open, but workers must live on-site. There has been considerable pushback from workers, slowing production at Foxconn -- the plant responsible for 70% of iPhone shipments.</p><p>iPhone sales made up 52% of Apple&#39;s revenue in its fiscal 2022, fueling investor concern over potential production delays.

While 2022 started off on a high, increases in inflation have severely stunted consumer spending, leading to a stock market sell-off.Although Apple shares have dipped 20% year to date, the iPhone manufacturer has fared better than most tech companies this year. For instance, Netflix and AMD shares are down more than 50% year to date. Despite a slowdown in spending in multiple industries, Apple has retained strong demand and sales of its products.Here's why Apple is a stellar buy during a stock dip.Beating the oddsApple posted its 2022 fourth-quarter earnings on Oct. 27, reporting a year-over-year revenue rise of 8.1% to $90.15 billion, which beat analysts' expectations by $1.38 billion. Operating income came in at $24.89 billion, rising 4.6%.The company's growth stemmed primarily from high demand for its iPhone 14 lineup, launched in September, and products within its Mac segment.According to IDC, worldwide smartphone shipments declined by 9.7% in the last year, while PC shipments similarly fell 15%. However, Apple reported 9.6% revenue growth in its iPhone segment, hitting $42.6 billion, and a 25.3% rise in revenue for its Mac segment to $11.5 billion.In addition to defying market declines, Apple has retained a promising amount of free cash flow compared to the competition. Free cash flow has become a crucial metric this year, as the higher the figure, the better equipped a company will be to overcome a potential recession in 2023.Apple's free cash flow is considerably higher than its peers', as seen in the table below.Data by YChartsWith $111.4 billion in free cash flow, Apple appears to have what it needs to get through further economic declines and continue investing in its business.iPhone production strainsAt the moment, prospective investors might be most concerned over Apple's reliance on China for its iPhone production. The country has suffered a spike in COVID-19 cases, resulting in new regulations. Factories can remain open, but workers must live on-site. There has been considerable pushback from workers, slowing production at Foxconn -- the plant responsible for 70% of iPhone shipments.iPhone sales made up 52% of Apple's revenue in its fiscal 2022, fueling investor concern over potential production delays. However, it's important to keep a long-term perspective when adding to your portfolio.In addition to Foxconn coordinating backup production with other plants, Apple is making moves to diversify its production. The company is now making some iPhone 14s in India, with JP Morgan Chase estimating about 25% of all Apple's products will be produced there by 2025.Additionally, Apple has developments in the works that could grow the percentage of revenue it receives from other segments. For instance, Services, which includes platforms such as Apple TV+, Music, iCloud, and more, is a quickly growing segment for the company.Services revenue rose by 14% to $78 billion in Apple's fiscal 2022, bringing in the second-largest portion of revenue after the iPhone.

The acclaimed short seller disclosed taking a long position in TWTR stock, tweeting:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5561dca7e5b16fe3df33f53f7b97b98d\" tg-width=\"494\" tg-height=\"264\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Earlier this week, Musk announced that he would no longer pursue his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform. In response, Twitter has sued the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO in Delaware court to hold him liable for the acquisition.</p><p>Now, it appears that Hindenburg believes that Twitter will emerge the victor in the legal battle. Let’s get into the details.</p><h3>TWTR Stock: Hindenburg Discloses Stake Amid Pending Litigation</h3><p>Both sides of the battle have very strong opinions. Through his lawyer, Musk believes that Twitter is “in material breach of multiple provisions.” These provisions include Twitter’s internal bot estimate of less than 5%, which Musk believes is higher. Twitter quipped back:</p><blockquote>Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away.</blockquote><p>It will be ultimately up to the Delaware Court of Chancery to decide who is in the right. There is at least $1 billion on the table, as this is the breakup fee that was pledged during acquisition negotiations. Still, the court could also force Musk to follow through with his acquisition entirely.</p><p>It seems that Hindenburg has changed its mind since May. It had previously published a short report on Twitter titled “Musk Holds All The Cards.” The firm assigned TWTR a price target of $31.40 if the acquisition were to fall through.

The acclaimed short seller disclosed taking a long position in TWTR stock, tweeting:Earlier this week, Musk announced that he would no longer pursue his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform. In response, Twitter has sued the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO in Delaware court to hold him liable for the acquisition.Now, it appears that Hindenburg believes that Twitter will emerge the victor in the legal battle. Let’s get into the details.TWTR Stock: Hindenburg Discloses Stake Amid Pending LitigationBoth sides of the battle have very strong opinions. Through his lawyer, Musk believes that Twitter is “in material breach of multiple provisions.” These provisions include Twitter’s internal bot estimate of less than 5%, which Musk believes is higher. Twitter quipped back:Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away.It will be ultimately up to the Delaware Court of Chancery to decide who is in the right. There is at least $1 billion on the table, as this is the breakup fee that was pledged during acquisition negotiations. Still, the court could also force Musk to follow through with his acquisition entirely.It seems that Hindenburg has changed its mind since May. It had previously published a short report on Twitter titled “Musk Holds All The Cards.” The firm assigned TWTR a price target of $31.40 if the acquisition were to fall through. However, factors, such as the pending litigation, have changed that have clearly influenced Hindenburg to change its tune on the deal.Musk has previously stated that he would sell his 9.2% TWTR stake if the deal fell through. At the time of writing, Musk still owns his 9.2% stake, although this may change in the coming days. Meanwhile, shares of Twitter are trading more than 30% below Musk’s proposed bid of $54.20. The below-offer price may attract investors in search of arbitrage opportunities.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":43,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
