billion in stock sales on Wednesday, taking his total near $40 billion this year and frustrating investors as the company&#39;s shares wallow at two-year lows.</p><p>A U.S securities filing showed he unloaded 22 million shares in the world&#39;s most valuable carmaker over three days from Monday to Wednesday.</p><p>The sale is the second big chunk of stock he has cashed out since his $44 billion purchase of Twitter in October. It isn&#39;t clear if the sales are related to the Twitter acquisition, but they are annoying investors who are upset by a perception he is diverting his focus and resources to Twitter ahead of Tesla.</p><p>&#34;It doesn&#39;t put a lot of confidence in the business, or speak volumes for where his attention is at,&#34; said Tony Sycamore, an analyst at brokerage IG Markets, where Tesla is a popular stock among small-time investors.</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s not a good situation. I&#39;ve spoken to a lot of investors who have Tesla shares and they&#39;re absolutely furious at Elon.&#34;</p><p>There was no immediate response to a Reuters request for comment from Tesla and from Musk emailed outside business hours.

Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META) andAmazon (AMZN) all disappointed Wall Street, while the tech giant best known for its iPhone franchisereportedsolid earnings and quarterly revenue of $90.1 billion, slightly beating analyst estimates and up 8.1% year-over-year. iPhone and Mac sales were up 9.7% and 25.4% in a high-inflation environment, respectively, suggesting that Apple is indeed one of the companies with real pricing power. On a year-over-year annual basis, Apple also shined where others looked lackluster. Total fiscal 2022 net sales were up 7.8%, thanks largely to strong growth in iPhone (+7.0%), Mac (+14.2%) and services (+14.2%). From this perspective, Wall Street&#39;s positive reaction hardly seems surprising.</p><p>I have had Apple on my watch list for quite some time, and I continue to be amazed how the stock has largely defied the bear market of 2022. The main pillars of my investment thesis in Apple are:</p><ul><li>Apple seems to have an unending ability to design and manufacture hardware and software that is not only functional, but also highly intuitive, elegant and very appealing. Even though they are mass products, Apple&#39;s gadgets enjoy the ranks of status symbols.</li></ul><ul><li>Recognizing that selling hardware does not scale well, the company has created a deep ecosystem through its app store and the many experiences and productivity enhancements it offers. In this way, Apple retains consumers and ensures high switching costs in an industry otherwise characterized by high competition.</li></ul><ul><li>Where others have managed to develop either standout smartphone technology (e.g., Samsung&#39;s Galaxy series) or a smartphone operating system (Google&#39;s Android), Apple has been able to take advantage of the synergies of top-quality hardware and software offerings.</li></ul><ul><li>The company&#39;s balance sheet is absolutely solid and will benefit in a rising interest rate environment, as it has $145.5 billion in marketable securities (mostly long-term) - not counting the $23.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents - and only $120.0 billion in debt.</li></ul><p>It is easy to like Apple as an investment. However, when I find nothing but positive things about an investment, it usually gives me pause. As a dyed-in-the-wool value investor, I am very careful not to overpay for my investments, especially when a company is firing on all cylinders - there is a thin line between a value trap and a world-class company that is simply too expensive. In this article, I will discuss Apple&#39;s normalized free cash flow, my expectations for future growth and my thoughts on what could limit the growth story. I will value Apple from a discounted cash flow basis, making sense of what the market has currently priced into the stock. In closing, I present my rationale for refraining from buying Apple at this time.</p><p>Apple Is Rightly Touted As A Major Cash Flow Machine</p><p>When it comes to the question of why Apple stock should command a premium valuation, many investors point to the company&#39;s strong cash flow. I do not disagree, and in fact, Apple&#39;s cash flow is one reason I would like to own shares in the company.</p><p>My regular readers know that I rely only on normalized free cash flow (nFCF), which means I adjust conventional FCF for working capital movements, stock-based compensation expenses, non-cash impairment and restructuring charges (if routinely observed), and acquisitions (if the company relies on growth through acquisitions). Those interested in the approach can take a look at my detailededucational articlepublished last month.</p><p>Acquisitions, impairments and restructuring charges are very rarely seen at Apple. This is due to the company&#39;s conservative and disciplined approach to acquisitions, which deserves praise at a time when other companies are squandering cash left and right in sometimes desperate attempts to diversify into new growth areas. However, as with many tech companies (see myarticleon this topic), stock-based compensations (SBCs) are significant and trending upward. This is due, in part, to the way stock-based compensation is accounted for and it should be kept in mind that adjusting free cash flow for SBCs is a relatively conservative measure. Figure 1 shows Apple&#39;s stock-based compensation since fiscal 2012 as a percentage of operating cash flow (OCF) normalized for working capital movements. Even though significant, this form of employee compensation is relatively modest at Apple, averaging 8% of normalized OCF since fiscal 2016, compared to Alphabet, for example (see myrecent article).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/634624a2a799950e29c025c2e979a431\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 1: Apple’s stock-based compensation expenses (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><p>Apple’s normalized free cash flow, as I use it for my assessment of the company’s future cash flow potential, is shown in Figure 2. Clearly, the pandemic acted as a huge tailwind for the company, as is underlined by nFCF growth rates of +23%, +43% and 13% in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Apple’s cash-generating power is underlined further when comparing these growth figures to the company’s sales growth numbers for the same periods: +6%, +33% and +8%.</p><p>Companies that report unbelievably strong earnings are potentially suspect of managing their results, and therefore it seems reasonable to assess the quality of Apple’s cash flow. Excess Cash Margin (ECM) is a measure of the relative growth rates of operating income and OCF and enables the detection of potential earnings problems or accounting shenanigans. In the case of Apple, the ECM moved in a reasonably narrow window of -2.4% and +2.0% in the last ten fiscal years and without a notable up- or downward trend. An upward trend in ECM would signal that earnings are growing slower (or declining faster) than OCF, while a downward trend indicates that earnings are either growing faster or declining slower than OCF.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/018899362ea317f0a826fd5072e9f3c0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"385\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 2: Apple’s normalized free cash flow – conventionally obtained FCF is on average 10% higher, largely due to stock-based compensations (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><h3>Reasons For Apple&#39;s Outstanding Free Cash Flow Growth - And Why It May Not Be Sustainable</h3><p>Apple&#39;s free cash flow growth since the pandemic has been spectacular. So, the really important question is: Where did the growth come from, and can it continue? Because ultimately, the share price is only an unromantic reflection of a company&#39;s future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate.</p><h3>Strong Brand Stickiness, Pricing Power - But Discretionary Products After All</h3><p>As already mentioned, the pandemic acted as a tremendous tailwind for Apple. During these difficult times, consumers learned to love Apple&#39;s software ecosystem even more, as well as the large number of accessories that only reach their full potential in combination with an Apple iPhone, iPod or Mac computer. Thanks to the increasingly strong lock-in effect and the seemingly unending desire to own these very elegant and highly intuitive pieces of hardware, Apple is able to exert pricing power on consumers even in times of high inflation. However, it is important to remember that an iPhone or Mac computer is ultimately largely a discretionary product, and the purchase of the next iteration can be postponed in the event of an economic downturn. As will be shown later, a recession is likely not currently priced into Apple stock.</p><h3>Geographical Concentration Risks</h3><p>Investors should note that Apple generated nearly a quarter of its fiscal 2022 sales in Europe, and it seems reasonable to expect that the eurozone, unlike the United States, will have a much harder time overcoming high inflation rates, in part due to the substantial debt of southern European countries, which would likely become insolvent if interest rates were raised at a pace similar to that in the United States. Of course, however, keeping inflation in control by raising interest rates is an incomplete line of thinking.</p><p>Nevertheless, the difficult situation of the European Central Bank and its increasing emphasis on approaches reminiscent of a planned economy (e.g.,Green Dealand the resultingTaxonomy Regulation) are preparing the bloc for continued high inflation rates and thus lower disposable incomes.</p><p>A deep recession in Europe is also likely to impact Apple&#39;s supply chain, as the company relies on several hundred suppliers in Germany (767 in 2018 according toHandelsblatt).</p><p>Of course, Apple&#39;s global position also makes it vulnerable to foreign exchange rate headwinds, as the company ultimately reports its earnings in U.S. dollars. However, I believe this is a well-known aspect that applies to all truly global companies. There is only so much a company can do to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, and I consider this a simple cost of doing business when operating on a global scale.</p><h3>Sustainability Of App Store Margins</h3><p>Software developers have noticed the seemingly unstoppable growth of Apple&#39;s installed base, which probably recently passed the2 billion mark. Apple&#39;s growth keeps developers motivated to continue to create new apps for iOS, which has the added advantage of very limited device configurations compared to the numerous devices running Android. I expect Apple to benefit from this for the foreseeable future, as long as the company does not make any glaring hardware design mistakes and stays true to its intuitive software architecture. However, it should not be forgotten that Apple faces challenges related to its somewhat aggressive monopolistic behavior in connection with its app store. It therefore seems prudent to keep an eye on Apple&#39;s subscription-based sales. I view it as largely positive that Apple&#39;s (high-margin) service revenue has increased from 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2016 to nearly 20% in fiscal 2022. However, improved app developer compensation and increased regulatory scrutiny could deal a blow to this important segment, thereby impacting free cash flow.</p><p>Working Capital Management</p><p>Another aspect to consider is working capital management. Cash is king, and companies with pricing power benefit enormously by being able to enforce their payment terms on both their suppliers and their customers. In addition, global giants like Apple benefit significantly from highly efficient inventory management. Less cash tied up in working capital accounts (receivables, inventories) leads to higher free cash flow. By minimizing the time to collect payments from customers and maximizing the time to pay suppliers, a company can benefit significantly from cheap (or free) credit. This is in particular important in a rising interest rate environment. A - highly desirable - negative cash conversion cycle (CCC) results when a company can collect and retain payments from customers for a certain time, that actually belong to suppliers (e.g., app developers).</p><p>Apple is a shining example in this regard and has kept its inventory days and days sales outstanding (DSO) very tight while expanding its days payables outstanding (DPO) quite significantly between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2019 (Figure 3). However, presumably due to ongoing supply chain issues and the relocation of certain suppliers, DPO declined in recent years, resulting in a weakening but still excellent cash conversion cycle (CCC) of -62 days in fiscal 2022.</p><p>Improved conditions for app developers, as hypothesized above, could also put pressure on Apple&#39;s working capital management, thereby impacting free cash flow. Conversely, supply chain issues will eventually be resolved, improving the working capital management of Apple&#39;s hardware segment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd5c74594b446fea946163da22c51878\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 3: Apple’s days sales and payables outstanding, inventory days and cash conversion cycle (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2012 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><h3>Possible Signs Of Underinvestment And The Course Toward Mean Reversion</h3><p>It is also worth noting Apple&#39;s capital expenditures, which typically range from $9 billion to $13 billion per year. Relatively speaking, capital expenditures have been on a downward trend since fiscal 2016, as shown in Figure 4. While some might argue that Apple is underinvesting, I would not overstate this aspect at this point in time (see below). While capital expenditures as a percentage of OCF continue to decline, it should be remembered that this is largely due to strong OCF growth and only to a small extent a result of lower actual investment in the business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/02df2459453a284cd343b9f1bb690fe5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 4: Apple’s capital expenditures as a percentage of normalized operating cash flow (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><p>Apple&#39;s key long-term free cash flow growth driver is innovation. Apple has innovated in both hardware and software, for example by introducing its ownprocessorsin its iPhones and Mac computers, a smart watch (Apple Watch), and its own payment service (Apple Pay). However, Apple has not introduced any groundbreaking new devices like theiPhoneor the iPod in a long time. I do believe that at some point, the users so accustomed to innovations will be saturated as it becomes increasingly difficult to pack truly groundbreaking new features into the devices currently available.</p><p>At some point, Apple will have to come up with a new technological gadget - whether it is some sort of wearable, self-driving car, or technologically integrated piece of furniture. I am sure Apple will come up with something at some point, but it is also true that the race to find the next hot innovation is extremely competitive and capital-intensive, especially as it relates to autonomous driving. From this perspective, it does not seem unrealistic to assume that Apple will have to invest more and more cash flow into the business at a percentage equal to or above the historical average, as shown in Figure 4.</p><h3>What Is Currently Priced Into AAPL Stock?</h3><p>Several aspects underlying Apple&#39;s excellent free cash flow growth have been discussed, as well as potentially limiting factors. With the release of the fiscal2022 10-Ka few days ago, we now have a clear view of Apple&#39;s recent cash flows, which provide a basis for valuing the stock.</p><p>First, let me share my FAST Graphs-inspired chart in Figure 5, which shows Apple&#39;s nFCF per share versus split-adjusted price per share. Clearly, Apple&#39;s stock price and free cash flow decoupled sometime in 2020, when investors began pricing huge growth rates into the stock. While it is entirely possible that Apple will continue to be able to grow its free cash flow at a high rate going forward, I simply believe that the likelihood of FCF remaining stagnant for at least a couple of years is relatively high for the reasons outlined above. Apple stock could be dead money for the foreseeable future, or worse, it could move closer to its long-term FCF trend, suggesting ample downside and a current fair value in the $100 region.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7d675df943d6075843ba251551a1796\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 5: Apple’s normalized free cash flow per share compared to its split-adjusted share price; note that nFCFs have been aligned with fiscal year ends in late September (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2022 10-Ks and the daily closing stock price of AAPL)</p><p>Next, I evaluated Apple stock from a discounted cash flow (DCF) perspective - after all, a company is only worth the sum of its future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate. For Apple, I believe a cost of equity of 9.5% is appropriate, taking into account current long-term government bond rates and a 5% equity risk premium. For the DCF analysis below, I have used Apple&#39;s average nFCF for fiscal years 2021 to 2022 as the baseline cash flow, which may even be a somewhat optimistic assumption given the threat of a recession.</p><p>Long-term visibility of revenue (and thus cash flow) is very difficult, which is also underscored by analyst estimates. More than 20 analystscoverApple on a two-year basis, expecting year-over-year revenue growth rates of 3.3% and 5.2% for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, respectively. After that, the number of analysts drops to 9. From fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027, only 2 analysts cover Apple, and for the later years, there is only one analyst - a particularly optimistic one - who expects year-over-year sales growth rates of 18%, 9%, 9%, 10%, and 10% between fiscal 2028 and 2032. I am not in a position to provide plausible long-term estimates, but I consider anything higher than 5% p.a. over the next five years to be unduly optimistic for the reasons outlined above. Therefore, in the illustration of the DCF model in Figure 6, I have used a growth rate of 5% for the next five years, 4% for the subsequent five years, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/717fa79d412f6b54795b36161c6ec657\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 6: Cash flows underlying Apple&#39;s discounted cash flow analysis; terminal value not shown (own work)</p><p>Summing the discounted cash flows and dividing the result by the current number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding yields a fair value of about $100, which is well in line with the backward-looking valuation in Figure 6.</p><p>Put differently, to justify the current price of $150 per share, Apple would need to grow its free cash flow at a rate of 10% per year over the next five years (is this a realistic assumption in the context of a likely economic downturn?), followed by a growth rate of a similarly high 8% p.a. until year 10, and a terminal growth rate of 5%.</p><p>Personally, I find it difficult to see such growth rates as realistic for the reasons mentioned above. In order to achieve such rates, Apple will likely be forced to diversify into other business areas, which is associated with considerable uncertainties, as its current business model will simply lack the addressable market at some point due to size.</p><p>However, some may object that both valuation approaches are based on free cash flow and therefore represent an isolated approach. This is true, and conventional multiples-based approaches can also provide a good view on a company&#39;s valuation. Figure 7 compares ten-year averages of earnings- and revenue-based multiples with current values. It is evident that Apple is significantly overvalued on every metric, including its dividend yield (currently 0.6% versus a five-year average of 1.4%). Finally, it should also be remembered that these valuations are the product of what is likely the strongest bull market in recent history, giving cautious investors pause for thought. Morningstar currentlyratesApple at two stars and believes the stock is 15% overvalued. It is worth noting that the investor services firm views Apple as a company with only a narrow economic moat.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3a0cff58027ed2abd92ab04313f85e4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 7: Historical valuation of Apple stock, note that the price-earnings-growth ratio (PEG) has scaled by a factor of 10 for the sake of visibility (own work)</p><h3>Concluding Remarks</h3><p>There is no question about it - Apple is a world-class company with a deeply rooted ecosystem, an ever-growing, religious-like following, and very strong management. The company is one of the few with real pricing power. However, with all the justified optimism, Apple markets largely discretionary products.</p><p>Investors expect Apple to continue to be able to grow free cash flow by double digit, or at least high single digit rates, for the foreseeable future. However, the growth story has its limits. Apple will likely reach its limits at some point because the addressable market is saturated, so it will need to pursue other growth opportunities. Exploring new opportunities comes with execution risks and requires significant capital expenditures, which have been steadily declining since fiscal 2016 in relative terms. Moreover, Apple is already an extremely well-managed company that will struggle to increase free cash flow through improvements in working capital management - an often-overlooked growth driver of several less well-managed companies.</p><p>As I have shown, Apple is significantly overvalued assuming more down-to-earth growth expectations. The market has been merciless on other tech stocks such as Amazon, Meta Platforms and Alphabet. So it is only reasonable to assume that Apple stock will also take a serious beating should the company fall short of expectations in any of the coming quarters. For example, what if the all-important holiday shopping season turns out slower than expected, capital expenditures rise significantly, or Europe faces a deep recession?</p><p>If I owned the stock, I would at least toy with the idea of selling it, as it is obviously overvalued. This can easily be seen in the decoupling of the share price from free cash flow since 2020 and the decoupling from the overall market in 2022. Of course, this assumes that taxes do not need to be factored into the equation.</p><p>Of course, none of these changes the fact that Apple is an extremely well-run company with a deeply entrenched ecosystem and an almost religious following. Therefore, I continue to keep the stock on my bear market watch list and patiently wait for the market to come back to its senses.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple's Resilience Is Unjustified - Here Is Why</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple's Resilience Is Unjustified - Here Is Why\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-03 23:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552001-apples-resilience-is-unjustified-here-is-why><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple stock has held up surprisingly well in 2022 compared to a very weak broader market, largely due to the company's continued strong earnings reports.I'll highlight the reasons for Apple's ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552001-apples-resilience-is-unjustified-here-is-why\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552001-apples-resilience-is-unjustified-here-is-why","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1149171162","content_text":"SummaryApple stock has held up surprisingly well in 2022 compared to a very weak broader market, largely due to the company's continued strong earnings reports.I'll highlight the reasons for Apple's strong cash flow growth and potential areas for future growth, and take a look at working capital management, stock-based compensation, and the multi-faceted ecosystem.However, I will also point out the limitations of the growth story, which is the mainstay of the current valuation.The current share price implies growth rates that are difficult to achieve even in a thriving economy. I think Apple is dead money at best for the foreseeable future.I am not currently invested in the stock, but if I were, I would at least consider selling it, assuming I held it in a tax-deferred or tax-exempt account.Introduction And Investment ThesisLast week, Apple surprised on the upside in an otherwise very bad week for tech investors. Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META) andAmazon (AMZN) all disappointed Wall Street, while the tech giant best known for its iPhone franchisereportedsolid earnings and quarterly revenue of $90.1 billion, slightly beating analyst estimates and up 8.1% year-over-year. iPhone and Mac sales were up 9.7% and 25.4% in a high-inflation environment, respectively, suggesting that Apple is indeed one of the companies with real pricing power. On a year-over-year annual basis, Apple also shined where others looked lackluster. Total fiscal 2022 net sales were up 7.8%, thanks largely to strong growth in iPhone (+7.0%), Mac (+14.2%) and services (+14.2%). From this perspective, Wall Street's positive reaction hardly seems surprising.I have had Apple on my watch list for quite some time, and I continue to be amazed how the stock has largely defied the bear market of 2022. The main pillars of my investment thesis in Apple are:Apple seems to have an unending ability to design and manufacture hardware and software that is not only functional, but also highly intuitive, elegant and very appealing. Even though they are mass products, Apple's gadgets enjoy the ranks of status symbols.Recognizing that selling hardware does not scale well, the company has created a deep ecosystem through its app store and the many experiences and productivity enhancements it offers. In this way, Apple retains consumers and ensures high switching costs in an industry otherwise characterized by high competition.Where others have managed to develop either standout smartphone technology (e.g., Samsung's Galaxy series) or a smartphone operating system (Google's Android), Apple has been able to take advantage of the synergies of top-quality hardware and software offerings.The company's balance sheet is absolutely solid and will benefit in a rising interest rate environment, as it has $145.5 billion in marketable securities (mostly long-term) - not counting the $23.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents - and only $120.0 billion in debt.It is easy to like Apple as an investment. However, when I find nothing but positive things about an investment, it usually gives me pause. As a dyed-in-the-wool value investor, I am very careful not to overpay for my investments, especially when a company is firing on all cylinders - there is a thin line between a value trap and a world-class company that is simply too expensive. In this article, I will discuss Apple's normalized free cash flow, my expectations for future growth and my thoughts on what could limit the growth story. I will value Apple from a discounted cash flow basis, making sense of what the market has currently priced into the stock. In closing, I present my rationale for refraining from buying Apple at this time.Apple Is Rightly Touted As A Major Cash Flow MachineWhen it comes to the question of why Apple stock should command a premium valuation, many investors point to the company's strong cash flow. I do not disagree, and in fact, Apple's cash flow is one reason I would like to own shares in the company.My regular readers know that I rely only on normalized free cash flow (nFCF), which means I adjust conventional FCF for working capital movements, stock-based compensation expenses, non-cash impairment and restructuring charges (if routinely observed), and acquisitions (if the company relies on growth through acquisitions). Those interested in the approach can take a look at my detailededucational articlepublished last month.Acquisitions, impairments and restructuring charges are very rarely seen at Apple. This is due to the company's conservative and disciplined approach to acquisitions, which deserves praise at a time when other companies are squandering cash left and right in sometimes desperate attempts to diversify into new growth areas. However, as with many tech companies (see myarticleon this topic), stock-based compensations (SBCs) are significant and trending upward. This is due, in part, to the way stock-based compensation is accounted for and it should be kept in mind that adjusting free cash flow for SBCs is a relatively conservative measure. Figure 1 shows Apple's stock-based compensation since fiscal 2012 as a percentage of operating cash flow (OCF) normalized for working capital movements. Even though significant, this form of employee compensation is relatively modest at Apple, averaging 8% of normalized OCF since fiscal 2016, compared to Alphabet, for example (see myrecent article).Figure 1: Apple’s stock-based compensation expenses (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.Apple’s normalized free cash flow, as I use it for my assessment of the company’s future cash flow potential, is shown in Figure 2. Clearly, the pandemic acted as a huge tailwind for the company, as is underlined by nFCF growth rates of +23%, +43% and 13% in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Apple’s cash-generating power is underlined further when comparing these growth figures to the company’s sales growth numbers for the same periods: +6%, +33% and +8%.Companies that report unbelievably strong earnings are potentially suspect of managing their results, and therefore it seems reasonable to assess the quality of Apple’s cash flow. Excess Cash Margin (ECM) is a measure of the relative growth rates of operating income and OCF and enables the detection of potential earnings problems or accounting shenanigans. In the case of Apple, the ECM moved in a reasonably narrow window of -2.4% and +2.0% in the last ten fiscal years and without a notable up- or downward trend. An upward trend in ECM would signal that earnings are growing slower (or declining faster) than OCF, while a downward trend indicates that earnings are either growing faster or declining slower than OCF.Figure 2: Apple’s normalized free cash flow – conventionally obtained FCF is on average 10% higher, largely due to stock-based compensations (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to 2022 10-Ks.Reasons For Apple's Outstanding Free Cash Flow Growth - And Why It May Not Be SustainableApple's free cash flow growth since the pandemic has been spectacular. So, the really important question is: Where did the growth come from, and can it continue? Because ultimately, the share price is only an unromantic reflection of a company's future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate.Strong Brand Stickiness, Pricing Power - But Discretionary Products After AllAs already mentioned, the pandemic acted as a tremendous tailwind for Apple. During these difficult times, consumers learned to love Apple's software ecosystem even more, as well as the large number of accessories that only reach their full potential in combination with an Apple iPhone, iPod or Mac computer. Thanks to the increasingly strong lock-in effect and the seemingly unending desire to own these very elegant and highly intuitive pieces of hardware, Apple is able to exert pricing power on consumers even in times of high inflation. However, it is important to remember that an iPhone or Mac computer is ultimately largely a discretionary product, and the purchase of the next iteration can be postponed in the event of an economic downturn. As will be shown later, a recession is likely not currently priced into Apple stock.Geographical Concentration RisksInvestors should note that Apple generated nearly a quarter of its fiscal 2022 sales in Europe, and it seems reasonable to expect that the eurozone, unlike the United States, will have a much harder time overcoming high inflation rates, in part due to the substantial debt of southern European countries, which would likely become insolvent if interest rates were raised at a pace similar to that in the United States. Of course, however, keeping inflation in control by raising interest rates is an incomplete line of thinking.Nevertheless, the difficult situation of the European Central Bank and its increasing emphasis on approaches reminiscent of a planned economy (e.g.,Green Dealand the resultingTaxonomy Regulation) are preparing the bloc for continued high inflation rates and thus lower disposable incomes.A deep recession in Europe is also likely to impact Apple's supply chain, as the company relies on several hundred suppliers in Germany (767 in 2018 according toHandelsblatt).Of course, Apple's global position also makes it vulnerable to foreign exchange rate headwinds, as the company ultimately reports its earnings in U.S. dollars. However, I believe this is a well-known aspect that applies to all truly global companies. There is only so much a company can do to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, and I consider this a simple cost of doing business when operating on a global scale.Sustainability Of App Store MarginsSoftware developers have noticed the seemingly unstoppable growth of Apple's installed base, which probably recently passed the2 billion mark. Apple's growth keeps developers motivated to continue to create new apps for iOS, which has the added advantage of very limited device configurations compared to the numerous devices running Android. I expect Apple to benefit from this for the foreseeable future, as long as the company does not make any glaring hardware design mistakes and stays true to its intuitive software architecture. However, it should not be forgotten that Apple faces challenges related to its somewhat aggressive monopolistic behavior in connection with its app store. It therefore seems prudent to keep an eye on Apple's subscription-based sales. I view it as largely positive that Apple's (high-margin) service revenue has increased from 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2016 to nearly 20% in fiscal 2022. However, improved app developer compensation and increased regulatory scrutiny could deal a blow to this important segment, thereby impacting free cash flow.Working Capital ManagementAnother aspect to consider is working capital management. Cash is king, and companies with pricing power benefit enormously by being able to enforce their payment terms on both their suppliers and their customers. In addition, global giants like Apple benefit significantly from highly efficient inventory management. Less cash tied up in working capital accounts (receivables, inventories) leads to higher free cash flow. By minimizing the time to collect payments from customers and maximizing the time to pay suppliers, a company can benefit significantly from cheap (or free) credit. This is in particular important in a rising interest rate environment. A - highly desirable - negative cash conversion cycle (CCC) results when a company can collect and retain payments from customers for a certain time, that actually belong to suppliers (e.g., app developers).Apple is a shining example in this regard and has kept its inventory days and days sales outstanding (DSO) very tight while expanding its days payables outstanding (DPO) quite significantly between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2019 (Figure 3). However, presumably due to ongoing supply chain issues and the relocation of certain suppliers, DPO declined in recent years, resulting in a weakening but still excellent cash conversion cycle (CCC) of -62 days in fiscal 2022.Improved conditions for app developers, as hypothesized above, could also put pressure on Apple's working capital management, thereby impacting free cash flow. Conversely, supply chain issues will eventually be resolved, improving the working capital management of Apple's hardware segment.Figure 3: Apple’s days sales and payables outstanding, inventory days and cash conversion cycle (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2012 to 2022 10-Ks.Possible Signs Of Underinvestment And The Course Toward Mean ReversionIt is also worth noting Apple's capital expenditures, which typically range from $9 billion to $13 billion per year. Relatively speaking, capital expenditures have been on a downward trend since fiscal 2016, as shown in Figure 4. While some might argue that Apple is underinvesting, I would not overstate this aspect at this point in time (see below). While capital expenditures as a percentage of OCF continue to decline, it should be remembered that this is largely due to strong OCF growth and only to a small extent a result of lower actual investment in the business.Figure 4: Apple’s capital expenditures as a percentage of normalized operating cash flow (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.Apple's key long-term free cash flow growth driver is innovation. Apple has innovated in both hardware and software, for example by introducing its ownprocessorsin its iPhones and Mac computers, a smart watch (Apple Watch), and its own payment service (Apple Pay). However, Apple has not introduced any groundbreaking new devices like theiPhoneor the iPod in a long time. I do believe that at some point, the users so accustomed to innovations will be saturated as it becomes increasingly difficult to pack truly groundbreaking new features into the devices currently available.At some point, Apple will have to come up with a new technological gadget - whether it is some sort of wearable, self-driving car, or technologically integrated piece of furniture. I am sure Apple will come up with something at some point, but it is also true that the race to find the next hot innovation is extremely competitive and capital-intensive, especially as it relates to autonomous driving. From this perspective, it does not seem unrealistic to assume that Apple will have to invest more and more cash flow into the business at a percentage equal to or above the historical average, as shown in Figure 4.What Is Currently Priced Into AAPL Stock?Several aspects underlying Apple's excellent free cash flow growth have been discussed, as well as potentially limiting factors. With the release of the fiscal2022 10-Ka few days ago, we now have a clear view of Apple's recent cash flows, which provide a basis for valuing the stock.First, let me share my FAST Graphs-inspired chart in Figure 5, which shows Apple's nFCF per share versus split-adjusted price per share. Clearly, Apple's stock price and free cash flow decoupled sometime in 2020, when investors began pricing huge growth rates into the stock. While it is entirely possible that Apple will continue to be able to grow its free cash flow at a high rate going forward, I simply believe that the likelihood of FCF remaining stagnant for at least a couple of years is relatively high for the reasons outlined above. Apple stock could be dead money for the foreseeable future, or worse, it could move closer to its long-term FCF trend, suggesting ample downside and a current fair value in the $100 region.Figure 5: Apple’s normalized free cash flow per share compared to its split-adjusted share price; note that nFCFs have been aligned with fiscal year ends in late September (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2022 10-Ks and the daily closing stock price of AAPL)Next, I evaluated Apple stock from a discounted cash flow (DCF) perspective - after all, a company is only worth the sum of its future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate. For Apple, I believe a cost of equity of 9.5% is appropriate, taking into account current long-term government bond rates and a 5% equity risk premium. For the DCF analysis below, I have used Apple's average nFCF for fiscal years 2021 to 2022 as the baseline cash flow, which may even be a somewhat optimistic assumption given the threat of a recession.Long-term visibility of revenue (and thus cash flow) is very difficult, which is also underscored by analyst estimates. More than 20 analystscoverApple on a two-year basis, expecting year-over-year revenue growth rates of 3.3% and 5.2% for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, respectively. After that, the number of analysts drops to 9. From fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027, only 2 analysts cover Apple, and for the later years, there is only one analyst - a particularly optimistic one - who expects year-over-year sales growth rates of 18%, 9%, 9%, 10%, and 10% between fiscal 2028 and 2032. I am not in a position to provide plausible long-term estimates, but I consider anything higher than 5% p.a. over the next five years to be unduly optimistic for the reasons outlined above. Therefore, in the illustration of the DCF model in Figure 6, I have used a growth rate of 5% for the next five years, 4% for the subsequent five years, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.Figure 6: Cash flows underlying Apple's discounted cash flow analysis; terminal value not shown (own work)Summing the discounted cash flows and dividing the result by the current number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding yields a fair value of about $100, which is well in line with the backward-looking valuation in Figure 6.Put differently, to justify the current price of $150 per share, Apple would need to grow its free cash flow at a rate of 10% per year over the next five years (is this a realistic assumption in the context of a likely economic downturn?), followed by a growth rate of a similarly high 8% p.a. until year 10, and a terminal growth rate of 5%.Personally, I find it difficult to see such growth rates as realistic for the reasons mentioned above. In order to achieve such rates, Apple will likely be forced to diversify into other business areas, which is associated with considerable uncertainties, as its current business model will simply lack the addressable market at some point due to size.However, some may object that both valuation approaches are based on free cash flow and therefore represent an isolated approach. This is true, and conventional multiples-based approaches can also provide a good view on a company's valuation. Figure 7 compares ten-year averages of earnings- and revenue-based multiples with current values. It is evident that Apple is significantly overvalued on every metric, including its dividend yield (currently 0.6% versus a five-year average of 1.4%). Finally, it should also be remembered that these valuations are the product of what is likely the strongest bull market in recent history, giving cautious investors pause for thought. Morningstar currentlyratesApple at two stars and believes the stock is 15% overvalued. It is worth noting that the investor services firm views Apple as a company with only a narrow economic moat.Figure 7: Historical valuation of Apple stock, note that the price-earnings-growth ratio (PEG) has scaled by a factor of 10 for the sake of visibility (own work)Concluding RemarksThere is no question about it - Apple is a world-class company with a deeply rooted ecosystem, an ever-growing, religious-like following, and very strong management. The company is one of the few with real pricing power. However, with all the justified optimism, Apple markets largely discretionary products.Investors expect Apple to continue to be able to grow free cash flow by double digit, or at least high single digit rates, for the foreseeable future. However, the growth story has its limits. Apple will likely reach its limits at some point because the addressable market is saturated, so it will need to pursue other growth opportunities. Exploring new opportunities comes with execution risks and requires significant capital expenditures, which have been steadily declining since fiscal 2016 in relative terms. Moreover, Apple is already an extremely well-managed company that will struggle to increase free cash flow through improvements in working capital management - an often-overlooked growth driver of several less well-managed companies.As I have shown, Apple is significantly overvalued assuming more down-to-earth growth expectations. The market has been merciless on other tech stocks such as Amazon, Meta Platforms and Alphabet. So it is only reasonable to assume that Apple stock will also take a serious beating should the company fall short of expectations in any of the coming quarters. For example, what if the all-important holiday shopping season turns out slower than expected, capital expenditures rise significantly, or Europe faces a deep recession?If I owned the stock, I would at least toy with the idea of selling it, as it is obviously overvalued. This can easily be seen in the decoupling of the share price from free cash flow since 2020 and the decoupling from the overall market in 2022. Of course, this assumes that taxes do not need to be factored into the equation.Of course, none of these changes the fact that Apple is an extremely well-run company with a deeply entrenched ecosystem and an almost religious following. Therefore, I continue to keep the stock on my bear market watch list and patiently wait for the market to come back to its senses.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":601,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9985039731,"gmtCreate":1667266198123,"gmtModify":1676537887617,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Alpha","summary":"SummaryMicrosoft is successfully leveraging its software expertise in some of the most competitive i","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Microsoft is successfully leveraging its software expertise in some of the most competitive industries.</li><li>Microsoft&#39;s heavy investments into gaming should pay off in the long term.</li><li>Microsoft&#39;s growing involvement in businesses outside of its traditional personal computing businesses comes with major risks.</li></ul><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a> has made a habit of entering industries relatively late and subsequently dominating them. The company&#39;s rapidly expanding presence as the number two player in cloud computing is a perfect example of this. Despite the fact that Microsoft&#39;s Azure becamecommercially available ~4 years after Amazon&#39;s (AMZN) AWS, Azure is now hot on the tails of AWS in terms of market share.</p><p>Although Microsoft still makes a sizable portion of its revenue on its traditional businesses, from its Windows OS to its software tools, the company has expanded its reach dramatically in recent years. Microsoft&#39;s intelligent cloud business, for instance, generated $20.9 billion inQ4and shows no signs of slowing down. Microsoft&#39;s ability to continually adapt to a rapidly shifting technological landscape is not to be underestimated.</p><h3>Leveraging Software Expertise</h3><p>Microsoft&#39;s ability to rapidly gain market share in highly competitive sectors has much to do with its industry-leading software capabilities. Microsoft&#39;s growth in cloud is a perfect example of how the company is leveraging its software expertise for outsized success. This feat has been especially impressive considering the technology heavyweightsinvolvedin the cloud space, most notably Amazon&#39;s AWS.</p><p>At the end of the day, success in the cloud business comes down to a company&#39;s ability to manufacture/purchase hardware at a relatively low cost and to offer high-quality cloud services. Given that most large technology firms have the ability and resources to fulfill the former requirement, the real differentiator among such companies is the ability to offer great cloud services. Microsoft stands out on this front due to its software expertise and established software ecosystem.</p><p>There are countless cloud services for a wide range of use cases, i.e. compute, storage, database, serverless, etc. The hundreds of popular cloud services like Lambda, Active Directory, EC2, CosmosDB, DynamoDB, Memorystore, and so on, are all competing for business both on the smaller-scale business and large enterprise fronts.</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s experience building software and its established Windows ecosystem has allowed the company to leapfrog many well-established cloud providers in many respects. Even cloud heavy-weight AWS is struggling to keep up with Microsoft when it comes to the cloud enterprise segment. While AWS servicers are easier to use and understand, Azure is more geared towards the enterprise market.</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s pre-existing Windows ecosystem also gives the company an edge in the industry. Many organizations are already familiar withMicrosoftproducts, from its operating system to its suite of productivity tools, Microsoft 365. This makes the transition to the Azure cloud platform a no-brainer for such organizations. For the organizations that pure Windows shops, of which there are many, choosing Azure as a cloud provider is a no-brainer.</p><p><i>Microsoft continues to take market share in the highly competitive cloud market.</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a53fb7ff89c9b8b6d7f34820739dacbe\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"455\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Synergy Research Group</p><h3>Underappreciated Gaming Ecosystem</h3><p>Much of the focus on Microsoft has been centered around its software offerings and cloud business. While these businesses still account for a majority of Microsoft&#39;s revenue, the company&#39;s burgeoning gaming division holds the most long-term growth potential. Microsoft has had a strong presence in gaming for decades now with Xbox. However, the company is starting to put far more attention on its gaming division.</p><p>Microsoft recentlyacquiredgaming behemoth Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. In what is the industry&#39;s largest acquisition by far, Microsoft now owns some of the most iconic gaming franchises of all time. Titles like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch now all fall under Microsoft&#39;s umbrella. The addition of Activision Blizzard&#39;s properties to Microsoft&#39;s already expansive gaming library positions the company to be the dominant force in gaming for the foreseeable future.</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s vision to be the Netflix (NFLX) of the fast-growing video game industry appears to be coming to fruition. The company&#39;s XBox Game Pass and Cloud Gaming services already made waves in the gaming industry. With the addition of gaming powerhouses like Activision Blizzard, Microsoft appears set to dominate the gaming landscape over the long term. No other company is even close to catching up to Microsoft in terms of building a gaming ecosystem.</p><p>According to Statista, the video game industry was worth $180.1 billion dollars in 2021. In fact, gaming has displace dall other major forms of entertainment in terms of global revenue, beating out both music and movies combined. Microsoft&#39;s current strategy of building out an unparalleled gaming ecosystem is a wise move considering where the industry is headed.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7038ef0764da711469d8a100d1eb8836\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"348\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Statista</p><p>Microsoft reported ~$15.367 billion of gaming revenue in 2021, which represents a sharp increase from the company&#39;s $11.57 billion in 2020. As more consumers are able to get their hands on the latest consoles in the coming years and as highlyanticipatedtitles release, Microsoft should see this figure grow substantially.</p><p><i>Microsoft Gaming Revenue</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6222637e0bbdc2227857a041312a9d5f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Statista</p><h3>Challenges Ahead</h3><p>Microsoft risks spreading itself too thin with its expanding business ventures and numerous acquisitions. What&#39;s more, competition is ramping up dramatically in the company&#39;s major business segments. While Microsoft still has a solid grip on the personal computing software and productivity markets, the same cannot be said about many of the company&#39;s other businesses.</p><p>Given Microsoft&#39;s surprising success in the cloud, it is easy to forget that the cloud industry is still dominated by AWS. On top of this, other technology giants like Alphabet (GOOGL) and IBM (IBM) are starting to invest far more heavily in the cloud space, which is not surprising given how profitable it has been for both Amazon and Microsoft.</p><p>The gaming industry presents its own set of unique challenges to Microsoft. For one, the video game service model may not be a long-term winner like the video streaming service has been for Netflix (NFLX). Given that consumers spend far more time on single game titles as opposed to time spent on single movie/tv titles, Microsoft&#39;s Game Pass subscription model may not have the same pull as a Netflix or Disney+.</p><p>It may ultimately make more sense to buy games individually, given general consumer habits. Unlike a movie or TV show where most consumers watch once or twice, games have a far greater repeatability factor. As such, Microsoft is taking a large risk by focusing so heavily on a Netflix-like video game service model.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Microsoft reported a Q4 revenue of $16.6 billion, $20.9 billion, and $14.4 billion for its productivity/business processes, intelligent cloud, and personal computing segments,respectively.

The company's rapidly expanding presence as the number two player in cloud computing is a perfect example of this. Despite the fact that Microsoft's Azure becamecommercially available ~4 years after Amazon's (AMZN) AWS, Azure is now hot on the tails of AWS in terms of market share.Although Microsoft still makes a sizable portion of its revenue on its traditional businesses, from its Windows OS to its software tools, the company has expanded its reach dramatically in recent years. Microsoft's intelligent cloud business, for instance, generated $20.9 billion inQ4and shows no signs of slowing down. Microsoft's ability to continually adapt to a rapidly shifting technological landscape is not to be underestimated.Leveraging Software ExpertiseMicrosoft's ability to rapidly gain market share in highly competitive sectors has much to do with its industry-leading software capabilities. Microsoft's growth in cloud is a perfect example of how the company is leveraging its software expertise for outsized success. This feat has been especially impressive considering the technology heavyweightsinvolvedin the cloud space, most notably Amazon's AWS.At the end of the day, success in the cloud business comes down to a company's ability to manufacture/purchase hardware at a relatively low cost and to offer high-quality cloud services. Given that most large technology firms have the ability and resources to fulfill the former requirement, the real differentiator among such companies is the ability to offer great cloud services. Microsoft stands out on this front due to its software expertise and established software ecosystem.There are countless cloud services for a wide range of use cases, i.e. compute, storage, database, serverless, etc. The hundreds of popular cloud services like Lambda, Active Directory, EC2, CosmosDB, DynamoDB, Memorystore, and so on, are all competing for business both on the smaller-scale business and large enterprise fronts.Microsoft's experience building software and its established Windows ecosystem has allowed the company to leapfrog many well-established cloud providers in many respects. Even cloud heavy-weight AWS is struggling to keep up with Microsoft when it comes to the cloud enterprise segment. While AWS servicers are easier to use and understand, Azure is more geared towards the enterprise market.Microsoft's pre-existing Windows ecosystem also gives the company an edge in the industry. Many organizations are already familiar withMicrosoftproducts, from its operating system to its suite of productivity tools, Microsoft 365. This makes the transition to the Azure cloud platform a no-brainer for such organizations. For the organizations that pure Windows shops, of which there are many, choosing Azure as a cloud provider is a no-brainer.Microsoft continues to take market share in the highly competitive cloud market.Synergy Research GroupUnderappreciated Gaming EcosystemMuch of the focus on Microsoft has been centered around its software offerings and cloud business. While these businesses still account for a majority of Microsoft's revenue, the company's burgeoning gaming division holds the most long-term growth potential. Microsoft has had a strong presence in gaming for decades now with Xbox. However, the company is starting to put far more attention on its gaming division.Microsoft recentlyacquiredgaming behemoth Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. In what is the industry's largest acquisition by far, Microsoft now owns some of the most iconic gaming franchises of all time. Titles like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch now all fall under Microsoft's umbrella. The addition of Activision Blizzard's properties to Microsoft's already expansive gaming library positions the company to be the dominant force in gaming for the foreseeable future.Microsoft's vision to be the Netflix (NFLX) of the fast-growing video game industry appears to be coming to fruition. The company's XBox Game Pass and Cloud Gaming services already made waves in the gaming industry. With the addition of gaming powerhouses like Activision Blizzard, Microsoft appears set to dominate the gaming landscape over the long term. No other company is even close to catching up to Microsoft in terms of building a gaming ecosystem.According to Statista, the video game industry was worth $180.1 billion dollars in 2021. In fact, gaming has displace dall other major forms of entertainment in terms of global revenue, beating out both music and movies combined. Microsoft's current strategy of building out an unparalleled gaming ecosystem is a wise move considering where the industry is headed.StatistaMicrosoft reported ~$15.367 billion of gaming revenue in 2021, which represents a sharp increase from the company's $11.57 billion in 2020. As more consumers are able to get their hands on the latest consoles in the coming years and as highlyanticipatedtitles release, Microsoft should see this figure grow substantially.Microsoft Gaming RevenueStatistaChallenges AheadMicrosoft risks spreading itself too thin with its expanding business ventures and numerous acquisitions. What's more, competition is ramping up dramatically in the company's major business segments. While Microsoft still has a solid grip on the personal computing software and productivity markets, the same cannot be said about many of the company's other businesses.Given Microsoft's surprising success in the cloud, it is easy to forget that the cloud industry is still dominated by AWS. On top of this, other technology giants like Alphabet (GOOGL) and IBM (IBM) are starting to invest far more heavily in the cloud space, which is not surprising given how profitable it has been for both Amazon and Microsoft.The gaming industry presents its own set of unique challenges to Microsoft. For one, the video game service model may not be a long-term winner like the video streaming service has been for Netflix (NFLX). Given that consumers spend far more time on single game titles as opposed to time spent on single movie/tv titles, Microsoft's Game Pass subscription model may not have the same pull as a Netflix or Disney+.It may ultimately make more sense to buy games individually, given general consumer habits. Unlike a movie or TV show where most consumers watch once or twice, games have a far greater repeatability factor. As such, Microsoft is taking a large risk by focusing so heavily on a Netflix-like video game service model.ConclusionMicrosoft reported a Q4 revenue of $16.6 billion, $20.9 billion, and $14.4 billion for its productivity/business processes, intelligent cloud, and personal computing segments,respectively. All three of these segments experienced moderate growth despite relatively tough market conditions. Despite the fact that Microsoft is returning to pre-Covid levels, the company has seen its valuation drop ~30% to $1.8T. Given Microsoft's growth opportunities and its recent downturn, the company appears relatively cheap at its current market capitalization.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9916671716,"gmtCreate":1664591343535,"gmtModify":1676537481888,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/TSLA\">$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$</a><v-v data-views=\"0\"></v-v> My guess, so that I can enter at a good price haha","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/TSLA\">$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$</a><v-v data-views=\"0\"></v-v> My guess, so that I can enter at a good price haha","text":"$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ My guess, so that I can enter at a good price haha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9916671716","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9911753907,"gmtCreate":1664267609820,"gmtModify":1676537422222,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/NVDA\">$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$</a>What's happening here.","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/NVDA\">$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$</a>What's happening here.","text":"$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$What's happening here.","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/190c035033aa5a5c1826101237c90122","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9911753907","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":231,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9010863769,"gmtCreate":1648341148497,"gmtModify":1676534328456,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will Nio bounced back?&nbsp;","listText":"Will Nio bounced back?&nbsp;","text":"Will Nio bounced back?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010863769","repostId":"1116489032","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1116489032","pubTimestamp":1648254314,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1116489032?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-26 08:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is NIO The Buy Of The Year?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116489032","media":"marketbeat","summary":"This might not be a question you were expecting to hear with regards to NIO (NYSE: NIO), whose shares are down almost 70% from last year’s all-time high, but it’s one worth asking.

Their $50 price target would have shared more than double from their current levels, so if your time horizon is long enough you have to be asking  yourself if now’s the time to start backing up the truck.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":126,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"9000000000000199","authorId":"9000000000000199","name":"JustinCooper","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bdd403049856caa030d5acaf3e72506","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"9000000000000199","idStr":"9000000000000199"},"content":"Wall Street Thinks Nio Is Undervalued Nio is one of the major players in the EV market.","text":"Wall Street Thinks Nio Is Undervalued Nio is one of the major players in the EV market.","html":"Wall Street Thinks Nio Is Undervalued Nio is one of the major players in the EV market."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9018003792,"gmtCreate":1648945783558,"gmtModify":1676534424757,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9018003792","repostId":"1164394533","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164394533","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1648917046,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164394533?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-03 00:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Delivers 310,048 Electric Vehicles in the First Quarter","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164394533","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"$Tesla$ just reported first-quarter vehicle production and delivery numbers for 2022.Here’s how they did.Electric vehicle deliveries : 310,048Electric vehicle production : 305,407Over the same period last year, Tesla delivered 184,800 electric vehicles and produced 180,338 cars.Tesla said it sold a total of 295,324 Model 3 sedans and Model Y sport utility vehicles, while it delivered 14,724 Model S luxury sedans and Model X premium SUVs.The company recently opened a new factory in Brandenburg, G","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a> just reported first-quarter vehicle production and delivery numbers for 2022.</p><p>Here’s how they did.</p><p><b>Electric vehicle deliveries (total): 310,048</b></p><p><b>Electric vehicle production (total): 305,407</b></p><p>Over the same period last year, Tesla delivered 184,800 electric vehicles and produced 180,338 cars.</p><p>Tesla said it sold a total of 295,324 Model 3 sedans and Model Y sport utility vehicles, while it delivered 14,724 Model S luxury sedans and Model X premium SUVs.</p><p>The company recently opened a new factory in Brandenburg, Germany, and had a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 22.

His views were later echoed by other policymakers.All the three main indexes suffered their third straight weekly loss, as the Dow fell 2.99%, the S&P 500 declined 3.29% and the Nasdaq dropped 4.21%.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 9.95 billion shares, compared with the 10.48 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.34-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.65-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted three new 52-week highs and 14 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 47 new highs and 184 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9088163792,"gmtCreate":1650325866543,"gmtModify":1676534695494,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9088163792","repostId":"1105840721","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1105840721","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1650324260,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105840721?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-19 07:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Q1 Earnings are Coming: 3 Most Important Things to Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105840721","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) is scheduled to announce Q1 earnings results after market closes on Tuesday, A","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) is scheduled to announce Q1 earnings results after market closes on Tuesday, April 19.</p><p><b>Latest Results</b></p><p>In Q4 2021, Netflix added 8.28 million net new subscribers, a bit shy of the company&#39;s own forecast for 8.5 million net adds, and about in line with the Wall Street consensus forecast at 8.3 million.

Investors have contended with the highest U.S. inflation rate in four decades (9.1% in June 2022), Ukraine war and throwing a monkey wrench into global oil and gas supply, and the U.S. economy delivering back-to-back quarters of gross domestic product (GDP) declines. Although the U.S. isn&#39;t officially in a recession -- an eight-person panel of economists makes that call -- two consecutive quarters of GDP declines is commonly viewed by the investing community as a &#34;technical recession.&#34;</p><p>Yet in spite of this economic and stock market turmoil, investors have been borderline obsessed with stock-split stocks. A stock split allows a publicly traded company to alter its share price and outstanding share count without impacting its market cap or operations.</p><p>A forward stock split can lower a company&#39;s share price to make it more nominally affordable for investors without access to fractional-share purchases. A reverse stock split can lift a company&#39;s share price to ensure it meets the minimum share-price requirement to remain listed on a major exchange.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a93398133c5685f08211f1bc0c4840f9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"462\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>Since the year began, dozens upon dozens of stocks have split their shares. Among these numerous stock-split stocks are two companies that have never been cheaper, as well as one that&#39;s a value trap to avoid like the plague.</p><h2>Stock-split stock No. 1 to buy hand over fist: Amazon</h2><p>One widely held stock that was long overdue for a split and appears cheaper than it&#39;s ever been as a public company is e-commerce stock <b>Amazon</b>. The company announced a 20-for-1 forward split in March and, with shareholder approval, completed its split on June 6.</p><p>Amazon is the kingpin of online-retail companies. A March report from eMarketer estimated the company would bring in a whopping 39.5% of all online-retail spending in the U.S. in 2022. For context, that&#39;s over 8 percentage points more in market share than Amazon&#39;s 14 closest competitors combined. In other words, Amazon&#39;s online-marketplace leadership isn&#39;t going to be challenged anytime soon.</p><p>Even though Amazon&#39;s online marketplace generates the bulk of the company&#39;s revenue, it may well be the least important operating segment from a profitability standpoint. What&#39;s far more important is how this leading segment has helped Amazon sign up more than 200 million Prime members worldwide. Assuming each member pays the annual fee of $139, Amazon is collecting close to $28 billion in high-margin revenue each year that it can funnel to its logistics network or other fast-growing initiatives.</p><p>The company is not only the leading online marketplace, but its Amazon Web Services (AWS) brought in an estimated 33% of global cloud service spending in the first quarter, according to a report by Canalys. We&#39;re still early in the cloud growth cycle, and the margins associated with cloud services can run circles around the margins associated with online-retail sales. Even though AWS contributes 15% to 16% of Amazon&#39;s net sales, it regularly accounts for well over half of the company&#39;s operating income.</p><p>While Amazon isn&#39;t exactly inexpensive based on its forecast earnings, it <i>is</i> decisively cheap, relative to Wall Street&#39;s forecast cash flow for the company. After Amazon spent the 2010s valued between 23 and 37 times year-end operating cash flow, investors can purchase shares of the online retailer for about 10 times forecast cash flow by 2025.</p><h2>Stock-split stock No. 2 to buy hand over fist: Alphabet</h2><p>The second stock-split stock that&#39;s simply never been cheaper for investors is <b>Alphabet</b>, the parent company of internet search-engine Google, streaming-platform YouTube, and self-driving car company Waymo. Alphabet announced its intent to conduct a forward 20-for-1 stock split all the way back in February. Following approval from its shareholders, the company enacted its split on July 18.</p><p>For more than two decades, internet search-engine Google has been the company&#39;s anchor. It&#39;s practically a monopoly, with Google controlling at least 91% of global internet-search share over the past two years. Since Google is the the go-to search platform, it allows parent-company Alphabet to command excellent pricing power when negotiating with merchants.</p><p>But similar to Amazon, it&#39;s not the foundational segment that Wall Street and investors are enamored with anymore.

Investors have contended with the highest U.S. inflation rate in four decades (9.1% in June 2022), Ukraine war and throwing a monkey wrench into global oil and gas supply, and the U.S. economy delivering back-to-back quarters of gross domestic product (GDP) declines. Although the U.S. isn't officially in a recession -- an eight-person panel of economists makes that call -- two consecutive quarters of GDP declines is commonly viewed by the investing community as a \"technical recession.\"Yet in spite of this economic and stock market turmoil, investors have been borderline obsessed with stock-split stocks. A stock split allows a publicly traded company to alter its share price and outstanding share count without impacting its market cap or operations.A forward stock split can lower a company's share price to make it more nominally affordable for investors without access to fractional-share purchases. A reverse stock split can lift a company's share price to ensure it meets the minimum share-price requirement to remain listed on a major exchange.Image source: Getty Images.Since the year began, dozens upon dozens of stocks have split their shares. Among these numerous stock-split stocks are two companies that have never been cheaper, as well as one that's a value trap to avoid like the plague.Stock-split stock No. 1 to buy hand over fist: AmazonOne widely held stock that was long overdue for a split and appears cheaper than it's ever been as a public company is e-commerce stock Amazon. The company announced a 20-for-1 forward split in March and, with shareholder approval, completed its split on June 6.Amazon is the kingpin of online-retail companies. A March report from eMarketer estimated the company would bring in a whopping 39.5% of all online-retail spending in the U.S. in 2022. For context, that's over 8 percentage points more in market share than Amazon's 14 closest competitors combined. In other words, Amazon's online-marketplace leadership isn't going to be challenged anytime soon.Even though Amazon's online marketplace generates the bulk of the company's revenue, it may well be the least important operating segment from a profitability standpoint. What's far more important is how this leading segment has helped Amazon sign up more than 200 million Prime members worldwide. Assuming each member pays the annual fee of $139, Amazon is collecting close to $28 billion in high-margin revenue each year that it can funnel to its logistics network or other fast-growing initiatives.The company is not only the leading online marketplace, but its Amazon Web Services (AWS) brought in an estimated 33% of global cloud service spending in the first quarter, according to a report by Canalys. We're still early in the cloud growth cycle, and the margins associated with cloud services can run circles around the margins associated with online-retail sales. Even though AWS contributes 15% to 16% of Amazon's net sales, it regularly accounts for well over half of the company's operating income.While Amazon isn't exactly inexpensive based on its forecast earnings, it is decisively cheap, relative to Wall Street's forecast cash flow for the company. After Amazon spent the 2010s valued between 23 and 37 times year-end operating cash flow, investors can purchase shares of the online retailer for about 10 times forecast cash flow by 2025.Stock-split stock No. 2 to buy hand over fist: AlphabetThe second stock-split stock that's simply never been cheaper for investors is Alphabet, the parent company of internet search-engine Google, streaming-platform YouTube, and self-driving car company Waymo. Alphabet announced its intent to conduct a forward 20-for-1 stock split all the way back in February. Following approval from its shareholders, the company enacted its split on July 18.For more than two decades, internet search-engine Google has been the company's anchor. It's practically a monopoly, with Google controlling at least 91% of global internet-search share over the past two years. Since Google is the the go-to search platform, it allows parent-company Alphabet to command excellent pricing power when negotiating with merchants.But similar to Amazon, it's not the foundational segment that Wall Street and investors are enamored with anymore. Rather, they're intrigued by the many projects into which Alphabet is funneling all of Google's operating cash flow.As an example, YouTube has blossomed into one of the most-popular social sites on the planet. Approximately 2.48 billion people visit YouTube on a monthly basis, which provides the company with plenty of ad-pricing power. YouTube subscriptions are also adding to the revenue stream and keeping active viewers loyal to the brand.Google Cloud represents another high-growth segment that can be a long-term game changer for Alphabet. Canalys notes that Google Cloud gobbled up 8% of worldwide cloud service spending share in the first quarter.

Are they right?","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>After joining the $1 trillion market capitalization club at the end of 2021, shares of electric vehicle (EV) juggernaut <b>Tesla</b> have shifted into reverse. Between macroeconomic headwinds like 40-year-high inflation, the Fed&#39;s consequent move to raise interest rates, and concerns about the war between Russia and Ukraine, the stock market has been in quite the frenzy.</p><p>Many high-growth stocks, Tesla included, have been humbled lately as investors seek protection by shifting their attention to value companies and safer assets. CEO Elon Musk&#39;s move to potentially acquire <b>Twitter</b> certainly hasn&#39;t aided the company&#39;s case, either. With uncertainty around whether or not the deal will actually close, investors have raced to dump shares of the EV leader.</p><p>But in terms of fundamentals, Tesla continues to look dominant. The company is rapidly expanding its business on all fronts and has strengthened its balance sheet and cash generation in the process. With the stock down almost 40% year to date, should investors pull the trigger on buying Tesla today?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ecb47944e9c0966d2182e999d9a81cba\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Fundamentals aren&#39;t the problem</h2><p>In a quarter when investors weren&#39;t sure what to expect due to COVID-19-related shutdowns at Tesla&#39;s Shanghai factory, the EV leader delivered, and it delivered big. The company&#39;s $18.8 billion in total sales, which climbed 81% year over year, beat Wall Street expectations by $918 million. Likewise, its non-GAAP earnings per share of $3.22, equal to 246% growth, crushed consensus estimates by a whopping 42%.</p><p>To top off a record quarter, the Musk-led enterprise grew total production and vehicle deliveries by a respective 69% and 68%, producing 305,407 vehicles and delivering 310,048. Per management&#39;s guidance, investors can expect the company to achieve 50% average annual growth in deliveries over a multi-year time horizon. In fiscal 2022, analysts are modeling a top line and adjusted bottom line of $86.5 billion and $12.32/share, translating to robust year-over-year ascents of 61% and 82%, respectively.</p><p>Amid such incredible growth, the company&#39;s balance sheet and cash generation are equally thriving. In its latest quarter, the EV commander revealed that total debt excluding vehicle and energy product financing fell below $100 million. The company is manifesting the &#34;cash is king&#34; mantra as well: In the first quarter, free cash flow surged an astonishing 660% to $2.2 billion. Provided that the global EV market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% through 2028 to nearly $1 trillion, it could be said with exceedingly high confidence that Tesla is poised for more success in the coming years.</p><h2>Tesla&#39;s valuation is still high</h2><p>Even without context, though, Tesla&#39;s valuation is extremely high. The stock is trading at 98.2 times earnings at the moment, an extremely lofty multiple even post-correction.</p><p>Comparing the EV behemoth to other automobile manufacturers further underscores its expensive stock price. As seen in the below chart, competitors <b>General Motors </b>(GM 0.81%), <b>Ford</b> (F 0.55%), and <b>Toyota </b>(TM 0.26%) have price-to-earnings multiples of 6.2, 4.6, and 7.9, respectively. Whether or not Tesla deserves a premium valuation is a frequent debate among the bulls and the bears. However, it&#39;s rather indisputable that the EV stock is richly priced. It would take a major share price collapse for Tesla to truly be considered cheap.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4664e23d164238b9ae09f5957b8e89b9\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TSLA PE Ratio data by YCharts</span></p><h2>Should investors buy the stock now?</h2><p>Tesla&#39;s pullback has certainly grabbed my attention -- the company is the unequivocal pacesetter in the EV market, an industry that is still in the earlier innings of development.

Between macroeconomic headwinds like 40-year-high inflation, the Fed's consequent move to raise interest rates, and concerns about the war between Russia and Ukraine, the stock market has been in quite the frenzy.Many high-growth stocks, Tesla included, have been humbled lately as investors seek protection by shifting their attention to value companies and safer assets. CEO Elon Musk's move to potentially acquire Twitter certainly hasn't aided the company's case, either. With uncertainty around whether or not the deal will actually close, investors have raced to dump shares of the EV leader.But in terms of fundamentals, Tesla continues to look dominant. The company is rapidly expanding its business on all fronts and has strengthened its balance sheet and cash generation in the process. With the stock down almost 40% year to date, should investors pull the trigger on buying Tesla today?Image source: Getty Images.Fundamentals aren't the problemIn a quarter when investors weren't sure what to expect due to COVID-19-related shutdowns at Tesla's Shanghai factory, the EV leader delivered, and it delivered big. The company's $18.8 billion in total sales, which climbed 81% year over year, beat Wall Street expectations by $918 million. Likewise, its non-GAAP earnings per share of $3.22, equal to 246% growth, crushed consensus estimates by a whopping 42%.To top off a record quarter, the Musk-led enterprise grew total production and vehicle deliveries by a respective 69% and 68%, producing 305,407 vehicles and delivering 310,048. Per management's guidance, investors can expect the company to achieve 50% average annual growth in deliveries over a multi-year time horizon. In fiscal 2022, analysts are modeling a top line and adjusted bottom line of $86.5 billion and $12.32/share, translating to robust year-over-year ascents of 61% and 82%, respectively.Amid such incredible growth, the company's balance sheet and cash generation are equally thriving. In its latest quarter, the EV commander revealed that total debt excluding vehicle and energy product financing fell below $100 million. The company is manifesting the \"cash is king\" mantra as well: In the first quarter, free cash flow surged an astonishing 660% to $2.2 billion. Provided that the global EV market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% through 2028 to nearly $1 trillion, it could be said with exceedingly high confidence that Tesla is poised for more success in the coming years.Tesla's valuation is still highEven without context, though, Tesla's valuation is extremely high. The stock is trading at 98.2 times earnings at the moment, an extremely lofty multiple even post-correction.Comparing the EV behemoth to other automobile manufacturers further underscores its expensive stock price. As seen in the below chart, competitors General Motors (GM 0.81%), Ford (F 0.55%), and Toyota (TM 0.26%) have price-to-earnings multiples of 6.2, 4.6, and 7.9, respectively. Whether or not Tesla deserves a premium valuation is a frequent debate among the bulls and the bears. However, it's rather indisputable that the EV stock is richly priced. It would take a major share price collapse for Tesla to truly be considered cheap.TSLA PE Ratio data by YChartsShould investors buy the stock now?Tesla's pullback has certainly grabbed my attention -- the company is the unequivocal pacesetter in the EV market, an industry that is still in the earlier innings of development. That said, the company's valuation isn't exactly attractive yet, and it would take far more downward pressure to make the stock appear cheap. Investors should keep a close eye on Tesla moving forward, as there's surely a chance it'll continue on a downward path in the periods ahead.While it's a fantastic company and a sure winner in the EV space, I don't suggest buying the stock just yet. Take advantage of the recent tech sell-off and look for other companies that carry more enticing valuations today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":19,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919558780,"gmtCreate":1663826174841,"gmtModify":1676537345027,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Believe","listText":"Believe","text":"Believe","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9919558780","repostId":"1197433530","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1197433530","pubTimestamp":1663824560,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197433530?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-22 13:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?

(NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), which investors also refer to as Google, continues to warrant a Buy investment rating in my opinion. In my previous July 7, 2022 update for Alphabet, I indicated that Google is &#34;aBuy during the dip&#34; in the short term.</p><p>My attention turns to Alphabet&#39;s appeal as a long-term investment in the current article. Google&#39;s recent uninspiring share price performance and a decrease in the average sell-side analyst rating for the stock might have come as a disappointment for some investors. But there are multiple signs and indicators, as detailed in this article, which suggest that Alphabet&#39;s business and financial outlook in the long run is still excellent.</p><p>I think there are a number of growth drivers and value creation levers that will drive Google&#39;s stock price up over time. Therefore, I keep my Buy rating on Alphabet unchanged, based on the belief that investors in Google with a long-term horizon will eventually be rewarded for their patience.</p><h2>Has Google Stock Performed Well?</h2><p>Google stock hasn&#39;t performed well in recent times.</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s stock price declined by-29% and -26% for the 2022 year-to-date and the one-year time periods, respectively. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 was down by -19% and -13% for this year thus far and the last year, respectively. In other words, Alphabet&#39;s shares have underperformed the broader market recently.</p><p>However, investors who have bought into the company&#39;s shares earlier are still sitting on huge gains.</p><p>In the past three years, Alphabet&#39;s shares rose by +66%, which was more than double the +30% increase for the S&amp;P 500 in the same period. Similarly, Google&#39;s share price went up by +118% in the last five years as compared to a relatively more modest +56% rise for the S&amp;P 500 during this period.</p><p>The above-mentioned numbers illustrate the importance of having a reasonably long term investment horizon when considering a potential investment in Alphabet or any other stock for that matter.</p><h2>What Are Analyst Ratings On Alphabet Stock?</h2><p>Wall Street continues to be very bullish on Alphabet&#39;s stock, as evidenced by the fact that 48 of the 51 sell-side analysts covering the company&#39;s shares have assigned either a Buy or Strong Buy rating to Google.</p><p>But it is the change in analyst ratings over time that really matters (instead of the absolute rating), as this is a key indicator of investor sentiment.</p><p><b>Analyst Ratings History For Alphabet In The Past Six Months</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c947e44fc4659748b7019db5001104b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"221\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p><b>The Sell Side&#39;s Recommendations For Google Stock In The Last Six Months</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/12098f80020940ef8c76ff527f3f2b8c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"267\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>As per the charts presented above, the average analyst rating (5 for Strong Buy, 3 for Hold, 1 for Strong Sell) for Google has gone down from 4.73 as of end-April 2022 to 4.61 now. Another way to look at this is that there were no Hold or Sell ratings for Alphabet in the months of April, May and June 2022, but three analysts rated Google as a Hold since July this year.</p><p>In a nutshell, investor sentiment for Alphabet has weakened in recent months based on an analysis of the change in investment ratings for the stock.</p><h2>Alphabet Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>There are a number of positive takeaways from Alphabet stock&#39;s key metrics disclosed as part of the company&#39;s most recent quarterly financial results and management commentary from other sources as well. These metrics support the thesis that Google is an excellent investment candidate for the long run.</p><p>Firstly, Alphabet&#39;s Google Search &amp; Other business performed very well in Q2 2022 notwithstanding macroeconomic challenges, and this bodes well for the long-term outlook for the company and its core business.</p><p>According to its Q2 2022 10-Q filing, revenue for the Google Search &amp; Other service grew by +13.5% YoY from $35.9 billion in Q2 2021 to $40.7 billion for Q2 2022. Alphabet&#39;s actual Q2 2022 revenue for the Google Search &amp; Other business also beat the market&#39;s consensus forecast by approximately +1% as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i> data.</p><p>Google Search &amp; Other is the most important business for Alphabet, as it is the company&#39;s largest revenue contributor accounting for 58% of its top line FY 2021. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, Alphabet stressed that the company&#39;s strategy is to provide products and services that are &#34;helpful to people and businesses during uncertain moments&#34; and &#34;for the long term&#34; as well. Specifically, GOOG highlighted that Google Search serves the purpose of enabling people &#34;to find anything from anywhere.&#34;</p><p>The good Q2 2022 performance of the Google Search &amp; Other business line even during difficult times like these is encouraging. This suggests that Google&#39;s search ads will remain a very relevant tool for advertisers in their efforts to reach out to their target audience in the intermediate to long term. As an example of how Alphabet is optimizing Google Search to adapt to changes in users&#39; preferences and needs, the company is constantly tweaking its Search products to facilitate voice and visual searches which are becoming more popular.</p><p>Secondly, Alphabet is trying hard to achieve a balance between cost optimization in the short term and sustaining investments for the long run. I believe this cost optimization exercise in the near term will allow GOOGL to re-allocate cost savings and excess capital into projects that have the best chance of delivering the most upside in the long term.</p><p><i>Seeking Alpha News</i> reported on September 7, 2022 that the CEO of Alphabet mentioned at a recent conference that he &#34;is looking to make Google &#39;20% more productive&#39;&#34;, which &#34;may call for job reductions.&#34; The CEO&#39;s comments are consistent with what the company&#39;s CFO noted at the recent quarterly results call. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, the CFO of Google emphasized that the company needs to ensure that it is &#34;using resources effectively where we can to redeploy it and put it back into long-term investments.&#34;</p><p>An August 16, 2022 <i>BofA Securities</i> research report (not publicly available) titled &#34;More Layoff Speculation In Press&#34; estimated that Alphabet has &#34;roughly 50k employees (40% growth) added since the pandemic in 1Q’20.&#34; This suggests that Google has substantial leeway to cut back on expenses and reinvest such savings in long term growth opportunities.</p><p>Thirdly, Google&#39;s shareholder capital return metrics for the year-to-date period have been impressive, and this is an important investment criterion for investors. Allocating a meaningful amount of excess capital to share buybacks or dividends typically suggests that a company is shareholder-friendly and exercises prudence in the area of capital investments (which competes with the other key capital allocation alternative, shareholder capital return).</p><p>Alphabet spent approximately $15.2 billion on share buybacks in Q2 2022, and this means that it has allocated around $28.5 billion to share repurchases for the first half of this year. Assuming that Google maintains the same pace of share buybacks in 2H 2022, this will work out to be a decent annualized share buyback yield of 4%.</p><p>The company&#39;s continued emphasis on shareholder capital return is critical for two key reasons.</p><p>One key reason is that a company with a track record of consistent shareholder capital returns will usually consider the expected investment returns of various capital allocation alternatives more carefully. In the case of Alphabet, it might be compelled to invest in more risky projects with uncertain payoffs in the absence of a share buyback program like the one it has now.</p><p>The other key reason is that share repurchases serve as a potential avenue of value creation in uncertain times. As the economy continues to weaken and the bear market is prolonged, Alphabet&#39;s business growth will naturally be more muted and valuation multiples will compress across the board in the near term. In such a scenario, Google can create value for its shareholders by engaging in value-accretive share buybacks in an opportunistic manner as and when there is a substantial correction in its shares.</p><h2>Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?</h2><p>Google stock is a good long-term investment. In the preceding section, I touched on how Alphabet&#39;s recent metrics send positive signals about its long-term growth outlook. In this section, I will highlight another three key points that investors should consider in evaluating the company&#39;s growth prospects in the future.</p><p>One key point is that Alphabet&#39;s long-term revenue growth might exceed market expectations, with Google Cloud being a major driver. As highlighted in the company&#39;s September 2022 investor presentation, Google Cloud&#39;s quarterly revenue has tripled from $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion in just two years between Q2 2019 and Q2 2021, but this business has yet to reach its full growth potential.</p><p>Alphabet stressed at the <i>Goldman Sachs</i> (GS) Communacopia + Technology Conferenceon September 13, 2022 that &#34;new markets (in cloud) are opening, driven by growth in data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity and others.&#34; The company&#39;s bullish view about the cloud market and Google Cloud is reflected in IDC&#39;s forecast (as cited in Alphabet&#39;s September presentation) that public cloud services spending will almost double from $505 million in 2022 to $1.06 trillion by 2026.</p><p>Another key point is that Alphabet has significant room for operating profit margin expansion over time.</p><p>Based on the sell-side&#39;s consensus financial projections sourced from<i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>, the analysts are predicting that Google&#39;s EBITDA margin will expand from 39.7% in fiscal 2022 to as high as 41.9% in fiscal 2026. If Wall Street is right, Alphabet&#39;s FY 2026 EBITDA margin will mark a new 15-year peak for the company.</p><p>YouTube Ads and many of Alphabet&#39;s businesses grouped under the Other Bets segments are sub-scale, which explain why they either boast low profit margins or are unprofitable. As these businesses expand their respective revenue bases in time to come, it is a matter of &#34;when&#34; rather than &#34;if&#34; that positive operating leverage kicks in and translates into improved profitability.</p><p>The final point is about capital allocation.</p><p>It is amazing that Alphabet has a strong financial position now, even though it just executed on the largest quarterly share buyback in the company&#39;s history in Q2 2022. As per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ&#39;s</i> financial data, Google has an estimated $125 billion in cash and short term investments on its books as of June 30, 2022. Considering the free cash flow generative nature of the company&#39;s business, Alphabet&#39;s cash pile is very likely to continue growing in the years ahead.</p><p>Many companies fret about the inability to generate positive cash flow, a weak balance sheet, and the lack of excess capital needed to support future growth or reward shareholders with capital return. This isn&#39;t Google&#39;s problem. Assuming that capital market conditions become more challenging going forward due to a weak economy and a bear market, Alphabet&#39;s ability to fund its future long-term investments with internally generated cash flow will become even more important. Moreover, Alphabet is among a minority of companies that has the financial strength to support both capital investments and capital return. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that Google will allocate an increasing proportion of capital to share buybacks and other shareholder capital return initiatives over the coming years.</p><h2>Is Alphabet Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</h2><p>Alphabet stock stays as a Buy-rated name in my view. There are many things that long-term investors will like about Alphabet.

(NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), which investors also refer to as Google, continues to warrant a Buy investment rating in my opinion. In my previous July 7, 2022 update for Alphabet, I indicated that Google is \"aBuy during the dip\" in the short term.My attention turns to Alphabet's appeal as a long-term investment in the current article. Google's recent uninspiring share price performance and a decrease in the average sell-side analyst rating for the stock might have come as a disappointment for some investors. But there are multiple signs and indicators, as detailed in this article, which suggest that Alphabet's business and financial outlook in the long run is still excellent.I think there are a number of growth drivers and value creation levers that will drive Google's stock price up over time. Therefore, I keep my Buy rating on Alphabet unchanged, based on the belief that investors in Google with a long-term horizon will eventually be rewarded for their patience.Has Google Stock Performed Well?Google stock hasn't performed well in recent times.Alphabet's stock price declined by-29% and -26% for the 2022 year-to-date and the one-year time periods, respectively. In comparison, the S&P 500 was down by -19% and -13% for this year thus far and the last year, respectively. In other words, Alphabet's shares have underperformed the broader market recently.However, investors who have bought into the company's shares earlier are still sitting on huge gains.In the past three years, Alphabet's shares rose by +66%, which was more than double the +30% increase for the S&P 500 in the same period. Similarly, Google's share price went up by +118% in the last five years as compared to a relatively more modest +56% rise for the S&P 500 during this period.The above-mentioned numbers illustrate the importance of having a reasonably long term investment horizon when considering a potential investment in Alphabet or any other stock for that matter.What Are Analyst Ratings On Alphabet Stock?Wall Street continues to be very bullish on Alphabet's stock, as evidenced by the fact that 48 of the 51 sell-side analysts covering the company's shares have assigned either a Buy or Strong Buy rating to Google.But it is the change in analyst ratings over time that really matters (instead of the absolute rating), as this is a key indicator of investor sentiment.Analyst Ratings History For Alphabet In The Past Six MonthsSeeking AlphaThe Sell Side's Recommendations For Google Stock In The Last Six MonthsSeeking AlphaAs per the charts presented above, the average analyst rating (5 for Strong Buy, 3 for Hold, 1 for Strong Sell) for Google has gone down from 4.73 as of end-April 2022 to 4.61 now. Another way to look at this is that there were no Hold or Sell ratings for Alphabet in the months of April, May and June 2022, but three analysts rated Google as a Hold since July this year.In a nutshell, investor sentiment for Alphabet has weakened in recent months based on an analysis of the change in investment ratings for the stock.Alphabet Stock Key MetricsThere are a number of positive takeaways from Alphabet stock's key metrics disclosed as part of the company's most recent quarterly financial results and management commentary from other sources as well. These metrics support the thesis that Google is an excellent investment candidate for the long run.Firstly, Alphabet's Google Search & Other business performed very well in Q2 2022 notwithstanding macroeconomic challenges, and this bodes well for the long-term outlook for the company and its core business.According to its Q2 2022 10-Q filing, revenue for the Google Search & Other service grew by +13.5% YoY from $35.9 billion in Q2 2021 to $40.7 billion for Q2 2022. Alphabet's actual Q2 2022 revenue for the Google Search & Other business also beat the market's consensus forecast by approximately +1% as per S&P Capital IQ data.Google Search & Other is the most important business for Alphabet, as it is the company's largest revenue contributor accounting for 58% of its top line FY 2021. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, Alphabet stressed that the company's strategy is to provide products and services that are \"helpful to people and businesses during uncertain moments\" and \"for the long term\" as well. Specifically, GOOG highlighted that Google Search serves the purpose of enabling people \"to find anything from anywhere.\"The good Q2 2022 performance of the Google Search & Other business line even during difficult times like these is encouraging. This suggests that Google's search ads will remain a very relevant tool for advertisers in their efforts to reach out to their target audience in the intermediate to long term. As an example of how Alphabet is optimizing Google Search to adapt to changes in users' preferences and needs, the company is constantly tweaking its Search products to facilitate voice and visual searches which are becoming more popular.Secondly, Alphabet is trying hard to achieve a balance between cost optimization in the short term and sustaining investments for the long run. I believe this cost optimization exercise in the near term will allow GOOGL to re-allocate cost savings and excess capital into projects that have the best chance of delivering the most upside in the long term.Seeking Alpha News reported on September 7, 2022 that the CEO of Alphabet mentioned at a recent conference that he \"is looking to make Google '20% more productive'\", which \"may call for job reductions.\" The CEO's comments are consistent with what the company's CFO noted at the recent quarterly results call. At its Q2 2022 earnings briefing, the CFO of Google emphasized that the company needs to ensure that it is \"using resources effectively where we can to redeploy it and put it back into long-term investments.\"An August 16, 2022 BofA Securities research report (not publicly available) titled \"More Layoff Speculation In Press\" estimated that Alphabet has \"roughly 50k employees (40% growth) added since the pandemic in 1Q’20.\" This suggests that Google has substantial leeway to cut back on expenses and reinvest such savings in long term growth opportunities.Thirdly, Google's shareholder capital return metrics for the year-to-date period have been impressive, and this is an important investment criterion for investors. Allocating a meaningful amount of excess capital to share buybacks or dividends typically suggests that a company is shareholder-friendly and exercises prudence in the area of capital investments (which competes with the other key capital allocation alternative, shareholder capital return).Alphabet spent approximately $15.2 billion on share buybacks in Q2 2022, and this means that it has allocated around $28.5 billion to share repurchases for the first half of this year. Assuming that Google maintains the same pace of share buybacks in 2H 2022, this will work out to be a decent annualized share buyback yield of 4%.The company's continued emphasis on shareholder capital return is critical for two key reasons.One key reason is that a company with a track record of consistent shareholder capital returns will usually consider the expected investment returns of various capital allocation alternatives more carefully. In the case of Alphabet, it might be compelled to invest in more risky projects with uncertain payoffs in the absence of a share buyback program like the one it has now.The other key reason is that share repurchases serve as a potential avenue of value creation in uncertain times. As the economy continues to weaken and the bear market is prolonged, Alphabet's business growth will naturally be more muted and valuation multiples will compress across the board in the near term. In such a scenario, Google can create value for its shareholders by engaging in value-accretive share buybacks in an opportunistic manner as and when there is a substantial correction in its shares.Is Google Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?Google stock is a good long-term investment. In the preceding section, I touched on how Alphabet's recent metrics send positive signals about its long-term growth outlook. In this section, I will highlight another three key points that investors should consider in evaluating the company's growth prospects in the future.One key point is that Alphabet's long-term revenue growth might exceed market expectations, with Google Cloud being a major driver. As highlighted in the company's September 2022 investor presentation, Google Cloud's quarterly revenue has tripled from $2.1 billion to $6.3 billion in just two years between Q2 2019 and Q2 2021, but this business has yet to reach its full growth potential.Alphabet stressed at the Goldman Sachs (GS) Communacopia + Technology Conferenceon September 13, 2022 that \"new markets (in cloud) are opening, driven by growth in data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity and others.\" The company's bullish view about the cloud market and Google Cloud is reflected in IDC's forecast (as cited in Alphabet's September presentation) that public cloud services spending will almost double from $505 million in 2022 to $1.06 trillion by 2026.Another key point is that Alphabet has significant room for operating profit margin expansion over time.Based on the sell-side's consensus financial projections sourced fromS&P Capital IQ, the analysts are predicting that Google's EBITDA margin will expand from 39.7% in fiscal 2022 to as high as 41.9% in fiscal 2026. If Wall Street is right, Alphabet's FY 2026 EBITDA margin will mark a new 15-year peak for the company.YouTube Ads and many of Alphabet's businesses grouped under the Other Bets segments are sub-scale, which explain why they either boast low profit margins or are unprofitable. As these businesses expand their respective revenue bases in time to come, it is a matter of \"when\" rather than \"if\" that positive operating leverage kicks in and translates into improved profitability.The final point is about capital allocation.It is amazing that Alphabet has a strong financial position now, even though it just executed on the largest quarterly share buyback in the company's history in Q2 2022. As per S&P Capital IQ's financial data, Google has an estimated $125 billion in cash and short term investments on its books as of June 30, 2022. Considering the free cash flow generative nature of the company's business, Alphabet's cash pile is very likely to continue growing in the years ahead.Many companies fret about the inability to generate positive cash flow, a weak balance sheet, and the lack of excess capital needed to support future growth or reward shareholders with capital return. This isn't Google's problem. Assuming that capital market conditions become more challenging going forward due to a weak economy and a bear market, Alphabet's ability to fund its future long-term investments with internally generated cash flow will become even more important. Moreover, Alphabet is among a minority of companies that has the financial strength to support both capital investments and capital return. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that Google will allocate an increasing proportion of capital to share buybacks and other shareholder capital return initiatives over the coming years.Is Alphabet Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?Alphabet stock stays as a Buy-rated name in my view. There are many things that long-term investors will like about Alphabet. These include the potential for increased shareholder capital return, the positive expectations of operating profit margin expansion, and the long growth runway for Google Cloud.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":97,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9057358995,"gmtCreate":1655470362217,"gmtModify":1676535646013,"author":{"id":"4111194927838822","authorId":"4111194927838822","name":"Alvinlwq","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/115b6a2e85dd126e946a982f609139dd","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4111194927838822","idStr":"4111194927838822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9057358995","repostId":"1112831918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112831918","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1655467039,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112831918?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-17 19:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pre-Bell｜Nasdaq, S&P 500 Futures Rebounded Over 1%; Alibaba Surged Over 9%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112831918","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. Stock futures rose Friday as Wall Street attempted to find its footing after a brutal week of s","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. Stock futures rose Friday as Wall Street attempted to find its footing after a brutal week of selling. The dollar snapped two days of losses and Treasury yields ticked higher.</p><p><b>Market Snapshot</b></p><p>At 7:50 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 233 points, or 0.78%, S&amp;P 500 e-minis were up 37.5 points, or 1.02%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 150.75 points, or 1.35%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ec34b35f33e219390b1f4e308a7e4bb\" tg-width=\"315\" tg-height=\"125\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><b>Pre-Market Movers</b></p><p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></b> – Adobe shares fell 3.7% in premarket trading after the software company issued weaker-than-expected financial guidance for the current quarter and the full year.

Between macroeconomic headwinds like 40-year-high inflation, the Fed's consequent move to raise interest rates, and concerns about the war between Russia and Ukraine, the stock market has been in quite the frenzy.Many high-growth stocks, Tesla included, have been humbled lately as investors seek protection by shifting their attention to value companies and safer assets. CEO Elon Musk's move to potentially acquire Twitter certainly hasn't aided the company's case, either. With uncertainty around whether or not the deal will actually close, investors have raced to dump shares of the EV leader.But in terms of fundamentals, Tesla continues to look dominant.

The world needs computers and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) provides strong processing power to make that happen. The company’s fundamentals are excellent, and it’s relatively cheap. Its reputation has grown to the point that it has staunch fans. I, for one, have recently purchased two computers with AMD internals.</p><p>The stock chart is approaching a support zone above $75 per share. There are likely to be bulls lurking there waiting to buy it. This has served as a base since summer of 2020. However, investors should look out for small technical hiccups to close a few gaps below that. Below these levels, AMD would make for an excellent value proposition. The rally back should be violent, because Wall Street habitually overdoes things. The bears cannot help but overstay their welcome into winning trades.</p><h2>Nvidia (NVDA)</h2><p>Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock is suffering a similar fate to AMD. It is its chief headline rival also providing excellent brains to our highly technical world. Nvidia has earned the reputation of the lead innovator in the field. Their financial results support these claims with absolute certainty. Nvidia management grew its revenues more than five times since 2015. They even boast a $10 billion net income. Last year they generated $9 billion in cash from their operations.</p><p>However, the stock is not cheap, especially relative to its competition. With a price-to-sales ratio of 17x, it could lose a bit of froth to bring that more in line. Nevertheless, the stock is also falling into a sharp pivotal zone. The support extends from current price through $138 per share. Those levels have been in contention also since 2020, so they will provide support.</p><p>This stock is also in a bearish pattern that may have a few more bucks to go. All it needs is for the indices to stabilize and it will too. There’s no doubt of Nvidia’s excellence, and the buyers will come back to it with force. The rally back should be more violent than the sellers may yet realize.</p><h2>Intel (INTC)</h2><p>While Nvidia and AMD hog the headlines, Intel is still the behemoth they are both chasing. Most investors don’t realize that Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is larger than the other two twice over. It is still a beast, but not as exciting. Eventually they recapture the investor imagination and earn back the respect they lost. Fundamentally this is the cheapest of them all by a mile.</p><p>From a charts perspective, INTC stock has had strong support around $40 per share since 2018. Investors who hold the stock have strong hands. They are not likely to capitulate easily. There is technical risk just like the other two, but it’s likely to find support soon. The rally back in this one may not be as ferocious as the other two. This makes it carry a bit less risk over all.</p><h2>Microsoft (MSFT)</h2><p>Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is an old dog that lived through the dot com bubble. MSFT stock has lost 25% of its value since the high it set last fall. Since it lost the support from early March, it could even overshoot a bit lower from here. But if the indices stabilize, Microsoft has technical reasons to rally back 15% and quickly.</p><p>This company proved itself worthy of trust. Microsoft was able to shift a giant ship and steer it straight into winning trends. Under the leadership of Satya Nadella, the company made it look easy too. Wall Street rewarded MSFT for its efforts, as the stock still is miles away from its pandemic lows. While it is not cheap, there isn’t obvious bloat either. Revenues for the trailing 12 months doubled from five years ago. With a net income of $70 billion, investors can sit through a few bumps along the way. If I were long the stock I can confidently wait out these jitters.</p><h2>Tesla (TSLA)</h2><p>While you might not see electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) as a tech stock, it’s full of technology, so I’m keeping it on this list. Currently its financials are impeccable and twice as efficient with its gross margin compared to Ford (NYSE:F) or General Motors (NYSE:GM).</p><p>Tesla stock is a bigger beast than the company itself. Over time it has slayed many shorts. Not yesterday though, as it fell 8% and for no specific reason. However it is still doing relatively better than the indices. At least it has not yet lost its support from Feb. 24. But therein lies some technical risk. If TSLA falls below $697 per share, it could accelerate lower.</p><p>I am confident that once it stabilizes Tesla will slay more bears. The rally back will be ferocious, so investors should avoid shorting it. Smart money would look for entries near support spots below. It too will need help from the overall markets.</p><h2>Shopify (SHOP)</h2><p>The line between tech and retail companies is paper thin. Therefore, I’m including Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) in my list of tech stocks to buy. If there is a stock that can rally fast, SHOP stock is it. Unfortunately it does so in both directions. Case in point, the company just lost 80% of its value since last November. Luckily it had just rallied over 200% out of the pandemic.</p><p>SHOP stock took a long round trip road to $1,760 and closed under $320 on Wednesday. Investors drove it straight into the pandemic base. Once it comes back into style, the buyers will overdo it one more time. It is hard to quantify the size of the rebound, as it is hard to pinpoint the absolute bottom. Therefore, taking small bites is best.</p><p>Management grew revenues seven-fold in five years. And they did that without creating excessive valuation. Its humble price-to-sales suggests that owners now have realistic expectations. Moderation is an extremely important virtue when dealing with Shopify stock.</p><h2>Amazon (AMZN)</h2><p>If we include SHOP, then Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) also belongs on this list. After all, Amazon essentially owns the cloud, so most tech-related things pass through their servers.</p><p>It too has had a bad time on Wall Street of late. Amazon stock is 44% below its all-time highs. It is also approaching a very sharp consolidation zone. Unfortunately it is also wide, so the floor is more of a band of support. Going all-in to catch this falling machete would be reckless.</p><p>Its fundamentals are beyond reproach and its financial metrics are strong. Amazon generates $470 billion in revenues and $20 billion in net income. It has 1the means to do whatever it wants to grow the business further. The team is rarely short on imagination and it has earned every benefit of the doubt. This is a tech stock I could own for a lifetime.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Tech Stocks Due for a Stunning Short Squeeze</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\">\n7 Tech Stocks Due for a Stunning Short Squeeze\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-14 08:39 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/05/7-tech-stocks-due-for-a-stunning-short-squeeze/><strong>investorplace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Each of these tech stocks to buy are approaching critical bounce levels.Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock is hot and cheap.Nvidia (NVDA) is the new trend-setter.Intel (INTC) is s dirt cheap tech ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/05/7-tech-stocks-due-for-a-stunning-short-squeeze/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMZN":"亚马逊","AMD":"美国超微公司","INTC":"英特尔","NVDA":"英伟达","MSFT":"微软","TSLA":"特斯拉","SHOP":"Shopify Inc"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2022/05/7-tech-stocks-due-for-a-stunning-short-squeeze/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1142625526","content_text":"Each of these tech stocks to buy are approaching critical bounce levels.Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock is hot and cheap.Nvidia (NVDA) is the new trend-setter.Intel (INTC) is s dirt cheap tech behemoth.Microsoft (MSFT) represents the most improved old dog on the Street.Tesla (TSLA) continues to lead the electric vehicle space.Shopify (SHOP) is reinventing the world Amazon created.Amazon (AMZN) is a titan that continues to make great moves.Wall Street is a total mess this week, but the list of tech stocks to buy remains quite large.
