Oftentimes, companies simply announce a stock split and that’s that.

However, there are currently 1,036,390,569 shares of existing TSLA stock. This means that Tesla will have roughly 3.1 billion shares of stock after its proposed split, which is well over the present two billion cap.

So what explains the company’s move to split the stock right now? In itsproxy statement, Tesla called out its employee compensation as a primary driver behind the move:</p><blockquote>“We believe the Stock Split would help reset the market price of our common stock so that our employees will have more flexibility in managing their equity, all of which, in our view, may help maximize stockholder value. In addition, as retail investors have expressed a high level of interest in investing in our stock, we believe the Stock Split will also make our common stock more accessible to our retail shareholders.”</blockquote><p>In addition, as that statement highlights, Tesla believes this will make TSLA stock more appealing for retail investors.

As Tesla’s explanation above showed, it may help newer employees feel that the shares are still at an accessible price to invest in. Same goes for some investors who may not have much capital to work with. A $250 stock feels more approachable than a $750 one.</p><p>Finally, there’s an impact in the options market, as well. To buy a call option on Tesla, for example, it often costs thousands of dollars per contract due to the high stock price of the underlying company. Making Tesla’s stock cheaper will also make its corresponding options more affordable for average retail traders. As much of Tesla’s overall trading activity occurs in put and call options, this split could help level the playing field for smaller investors.</p><h2>TSLA Stock Verdict</h2><p>To be clear, splitting one’s stock isn’t a foolproof move. <b>Amazon.com</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>), for example, just issued a20:1 stock splitof its shares and that did nothing to support the stock price.

These factors could give Tesla a boost in coming weeks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9054578590,"gmtCreate":1655421038410,"gmtModify":1676535633287,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"😵","listText":"😵","text":"😵","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9054578590","repostId":"2244158148","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":86,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9055891057,"gmtCreate":1655254487779,"gmtModify":1676535596376,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"May the bear mkt be over by year end","listText":"May the bear mkt be over by year end","text":"May the bear mkt be over by year end","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9055891057","repostId":"1149147359","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":77,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9051187208,"gmtCreate":1654652247304,"gmtModify":1676535485902,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news... looking forward for the dividend&nbsp;[smile]&nbsp;","listText":"Good news... looking forward for the dividend&nbsp;[smile]&nbsp;","text":"Good news... looking forward for the dividend [smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9051187208","repostId":"1152356460","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":264,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9059845839,"gmtCreate":1654342166821,"gmtModify":1676535433873,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Possible time to shop","listText":"Possible time to shop","text":"Possible time to shop","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9059845839","repostId":"2240777362","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2240777362","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1654322042,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2240777362?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-04 13:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon Stock Is Splitting to $122, Trading Starts Monday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2240777362","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Don't panic when you see the first trade in Amazon.com shares on Monday.Back in March, Amazon announ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Don&#39;t panic when you see the first trade in Amazon.com shares on Monday.</p><p>Back in March, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a> announced a 20-for-1 stock split, which is now being implemented.

(NYSE:PLTR) is one of the most controversial companies. The company&#39;s market cap is floating at around $18 billion, more than ten times TTM sales. Moreover, the company is infamous for its dilution and has never shown a net profit in a single quarter. Therefore, it is no surprise that since the growth meltdown began last year, Palantir has been one of the worst-hit stocks. The company experienced an epic drop of 80% from peak to trough, but the share price has begun to recover.</p><p><b>PLTR 1-Year</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9de65d4b86e4ec1d262d3162399e05b7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>PLTR (StockCharts.com)</p><p>Benjamin Graham may have said it best - &#34;In the short term, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.&#34; Mr. Graham was a brilliant investor, and the saying applies exceptionally well to Palantir, in my view. The market seemed crazy about Palantir when the stock was at $20 or $30, but is not fond of Palantir these days. The stock was severely diluted after its IPO, and the criticisms of stock-based compensation (&#34;SBC&#34;) continue today. Moreover, growth and high multiple stocks are not as popular as they were throughout most of 2021, and with a possible recession approaching, the market is voting &#34;No&#34; on Palantir.</p><p>However, let&#39;s weigh Palantir&#39;s stock instead of voting for it. Dilution and SBC compensation are common phenomena with IPOs, and Palantir is not an exception. Let&#39;s not look at past sales, but let us focus on the company&#39;s revenue growth and earning potential. Additionally, let&#39;s consider Palantir&#39;s unique, leading, and dominant market position and how it could impact future growth prospects and profitability potential. Moreover, Palantir&#39;s growth runway is massive, and its profitability potential is vast, making the stock possibly one of the best buys for the next decade.</p><p><b>Palantir - The Government&#39;s Favorite Contractor</b></p><p>One of Palantir&#39;s most unique facets is its dominant position as a government contractor. The company provides software solutions through its Gotham program to numerous government agencies. Some of Palantir&#39;s government clients include the U.S. military, intelligence, and police. More specifically, the FBI, DOD, CIA, NSA, and many other agencies use Palantir&#39;s linked databases,data mining solutions, analysis software, and much more. Furthermore, Palantir services the NHS, FDA, and other agencies. While Palantir is growing its corporate business aggressively, it still derived most of its revenues (54%) from government contracts last quarter. Advantageously, Palantir gets a substantial portion of its revenues from the government as the government is famous for its loose spending policies. Moreover, the company should continue growing government revenues, and even when a recession comes, the government will continue its spending.</p><p><b>It&#39;s All About Growth - For Now</b></p><p>I hear a lot of complaints that Palantir is not profitable, but Palantir does not need to be profitable. The company is growing at more than 30%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86703bab0eb031120a21a04070660751\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"318\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Q1 Highlights (investors.palantir.com)</p><p>Palantir&#39;s growth metrics are tremendous. 31% YoY revenue growth, 54% YoY commercial revenue growth, 136% YoY U.S. commercial revenue growth, and 86% YoY customer count growth. While the company&#39;s government business remains its anchor, we see Palantir growing its commercial business aggressively now. Moreover, we should continue seeing robust growth from the government and corporate clients as the company moves on. For full-year 2022, the company expects to show an adjusted operating margin of approximately 27% and anticipates providing30% annual growthor greater through 2025.</p><p><b>Be Patient - Profitability Will Come</b></p><p>Palantir is a high-growth company. Therefore, there is no need for it to be profitable right now. The company needs to focus on growing operations, increasing market share, and setting up future profitability potential. However, when it&#39;s time, Palantir should be exceptionally profitable.</p><p><b>Statement of Operations</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c68e8a7494948e5f170dc64534d1921a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"663\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Statement of Operations (investors.palantir.com)</p><p>Last quarter, the company&#39;s gross profit increased by32% YoY. At the same time, Palantir&#39;s operating expenses increased by only 2.6% YoY. Therefore, the operating loss last quarter was much narrower than last year&#39;s, just $39.4 million vs. $114 million one year ago. Moreover, Palantir&#39;s gross margin came in at a whopping 78.6% the previous quarter, even higher than the 78.3% from one year ago. Thus, we see Palantir is growing increasingly profitable. As the company&#39;s gross profit continues to increase, it will start outweighing the company&#39;s operating expenses significantly, leading to substantial increases in operating income, net profit, and EPS.</p><p><b>Dilution - Not a Problem Anymore</b></p><p>We see that Palantir&#39;s share count rose by about 11% YoY. Therefore, Palantir is still diluting, but not nearly as much as it did when the company initially went public. Palantir went public with only about476 million shares. However, the company has more than 2 billion shares outstanding now. Yet, much of the dilation occurred early, essentially right after the company went public. Roughly six months after going public, the company already had nearly1.8 billion shares. Since then, SBC expenses have been declining significantly and are likely to continue falling as the company advances. Additionally, increased SBC is a common phenomenon with IPOs and is not a Palantir-isolated phenomenon.</p><p><b>SBS Expenses</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f9e8cbaa81a63e7986e0b033c550680\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"185\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SBS Expenses (investors.palantir.com)</p><p>We see that, despite significantly higher revenues and income, SBC is down by about 23% YoY. This dynamic implies that the trend of lower SBC expenses should continue. Also, if we factor out the SBC expenses, we see that Palantir should become remarkably profitable. Minus SBC, the company&#39;s cost of revenue was only about<i>$82.8 million</i>, implying a gross margin of nearly 82% for Palantir. Minus SBC, Palantir&#39;s operating income would have been around<i>$110 million</i> last quarter, illustrating an operating margin of approximately 25%.</p><p>The company would have even recorded a small net income of about<i>$10 million</i> once SBC expenses are removed from the equation. The company reported an adjusted EPS of $0.02, illustrating that the company can be profitable right now, even while growing YoY revenues at more than 30%. Therefore, we see that Palantir has the potential to become increasingly prosperous. As the company&#39;s revenues and gross profit continue to rise, its operating expenses should increase modestly, and the SBC should continue declining significantly in proportion to the company&#39;s revenues. Thus, Palantir&#39;s profitability metrics should improve dramatically in the coming years.</p><p><b>Palantir - May Be Recession Proof</b></p><p>There&#39;s much concern about the upcoming recession. However, Palantir is in a unique position, as much of the company&#39;s revenues come from government contracts. The company&#39;s corporate clients are also not likely to reduce their reliance on Palantir&#39;s services, as the company provides essential solutions relating to data analytics, cybersecurity, and other critical aspects. Therefore, even in a recession, Palantir&#39;s growth should continue increasing, making it one of the best long-term buys in the market right now.</p><p><b>A Closer Look At Palantir&#39;s Valuation</b></p><p>Palantir should deliver roughly $2.6 billion in revenues next year, placing its forward P/S multiple at approximately 7. However, Palantir is a dominant market-leading high-growth company with remarkable profitability potential. Recently, the stock got voted down to a 5x forward sales multiple, when the stock fell down to $6. Now at $9 Palantir is trading at about 7 times forward sales, but it may trade at a significantly higher sales multiple down the line. Many companies with far less growth potential sell at significantly higher sales multiples.</p><p><b>Therefore, here&#39;s how Palantir&#39;s financials could look like as the company advances:</b></p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Year</b></td><td><b>2022</b></td><td><b>2023</b></td><td><b>2024</b></td><td><b>2025</b></td><td><b>2026</b></td><td><b>2027</b></td></tr><tr><td>Revenue $</td><td>2b</td><td>2.6b</td><td>3.4b</td><td>4.4b</td><td>5.7b</td><td>7.3b</td></tr><tr><td>Revenue growth</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>30%</td><td>28%</td><td>25%</td></tr><tr><td>Forward P/S ratio</td><td>7</td><td>8</td><td>9</td><td>9</td><td>8</td><td>8</td></tr><tr><td>Price</td><td>$9</td><td>$14</td><td>$21</td><td>$27</td><td>$32</td><td>$40</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Financial Prophet</p><p>Utilizing the company&#39;s projected 30% growth rate through 2025 and a slight drop-off through 2027 gets us to approximately <i>$7.3 billion</i> in revenues in 2027.

(NYSE:PLTR) is one of the most controversial companies. The company's market cap is floating at around $18 billion, more than ten times TTM sales. Moreover, the company is infamous for its dilution and has never shown a net profit in a single quarter. Therefore, it is no surprise that since the growth meltdown began last year, Palantir has been one of the worst-hit stocks. The company experienced an epic drop of 80% from peak to trough, but the share price has begun to recover.PLTR 1-YearPLTR (StockCharts.com)Benjamin Graham may have said it best - \"In the short term, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.\" Mr. Graham was a brilliant investor, and the saying applies exceptionally well to Palantir, in my view. The market seemed crazy about Palantir when the stock was at $20 or $30, but is not fond of Palantir these days. The stock was severely diluted after its IPO, and the criticisms of stock-based compensation (\"SBC\") continue today. Moreover, growth and high multiple stocks are not as popular as they were throughout most of 2021, and with a possible recession approaching, the market is voting \"No\" on Palantir.However, let's weigh Palantir's stock instead of voting for it. Dilution and SBC compensation are common phenomena with IPOs, and Palantir is not an exception. Let's not look at past sales, but let us focus on the company's revenue growth and earning potential. Additionally, let's consider Palantir's unique, leading, and dominant market position and how it could impact future growth prospects and profitability potential. Moreover, Palantir's growth runway is massive, and its profitability potential is vast, making the stock possibly one of the best buys for the next decade.Palantir - The Government's Favorite ContractorOne of Palantir's most unique facets is its dominant position as a government contractor. The company provides software solutions through its Gotham program to numerous government agencies. Some of Palantir's government clients include the U.S. military, intelligence, and police. More specifically, the FBI, DOD, CIA, NSA, and many other agencies use Palantir's linked databases,data mining solutions, analysis software, and much more. Furthermore, Palantir services the NHS, FDA, and other agencies. While Palantir is growing its corporate business aggressively, it still derived most of its revenues (54%) from government contracts last quarter. Advantageously, Palantir gets a substantial portion of its revenues from the government as the government is famous for its loose spending policies. Moreover, the company should continue growing government revenues, and even when a recession comes, the government will continue its spending.It's All About Growth - For NowI hear a lot of complaints that Palantir is not profitable, but Palantir does not need to be profitable. The company is growing at more than 30%.Q1 Highlights (investors.palantir.com)Palantir's growth metrics are tremendous. 31% YoY revenue growth, 54% YoY commercial revenue growth, 136% YoY U.S. commercial revenue growth, and 86% YoY customer count growth. While the company's government business remains its anchor, we see Palantir growing its commercial business aggressively now. Moreover, we should continue seeing robust growth from the government and corporate clients as the company moves on. For full-year 2022, the company expects to show an adjusted operating margin of approximately 27% and anticipates providing30% annual growthor greater through 2025.Be Patient - Profitability Will ComePalantir is a high-growth company. Therefore, there is no need for it to be profitable right now. The company needs to focus on growing operations, increasing market share, and setting up future profitability potential. However, when it's time, Palantir should be exceptionally profitable.Statement of OperationsStatement of Operations (investors.palantir.com)Last quarter, the company's gross profit increased by32% YoY. At the same time, Palantir's operating expenses increased by only 2.6% YoY. Therefore, the operating loss last quarter was much narrower than last year's, just $39.4 million vs. $114 million one year ago. Moreover, Palantir's gross margin came in at a whopping 78.6% the previous quarter, even higher than the 78.3% from one year ago. Thus, we see Palantir is growing increasingly profitable. As the company's gross profit continues to increase, it will start outweighing the company's operating expenses significantly, leading to substantial increases in operating income, net profit, and EPS.Dilution - Not a Problem AnymoreWe see that Palantir's share count rose by about 11% YoY. Therefore, Palantir is still diluting, but not nearly as much as it did when the company initially went public. Palantir went public with only about476 million shares. However, the company has more than 2 billion shares outstanding now. Yet, much of the dilation occurred early, essentially right after the company went public. Roughly six months after going public, the company already had nearly1.8 billion shares. Since then, SBC expenses have been declining significantly and are likely to continue falling as the company advances. Additionally, increased SBC is a common phenomenon with IPOs and is not a Palantir-isolated phenomenon.SBS ExpensesSBS Expenses (investors.palantir.com)We see that, despite significantly higher revenues and income, SBC is down by about 23% YoY. This dynamic implies that the trend of lower SBC expenses should continue. Also, if we factor out the SBC expenses, we see that Palantir should become remarkably profitable. Minus SBC, the company's cost of revenue was only about$82.8 million, implying a gross margin of nearly 82% for Palantir. Minus SBC, Palantir's operating income would have been around$110 million last quarter, illustrating an operating margin of approximately 25%.The company would have even recorded a small net income of about$10 million once SBC expenses are removed from the equation. The company reported an adjusted EPS of $0.02, illustrating that the company can be profitable right now, even while growing YoY revenues at more than 30%. Therefore, we see that Palantir has the potential to become increasingly prosperous. As the company's revenues and gross profit continue to rise, its operating expenses should increase modestly, and the SBC should continue declining significantly in proportion to the company's revenues. Thus, Palantir's profitability metrics should improve dramatically in the coming years.Palantir - May Be Recession ProofThere's much concern about the upcoming recession. However, Palantir is in a unique position, as much of the company's revenues come from government contracts. The company's corporate clients are also not likely to reduce their reliance on Palantir's services, as the company provides essential solutions relating to data analytics, cybersecurity, and other critical aspects. Therefore, even in a recession, Palantir's growth should continue increasing, making it one of the best long-term buys in the market right now.A Closer Look At Palantir's ValuationPalantir should deliver roughly $2.6 billion in revenues next year, placing its forward P/S multiple at approximately 7. However, Palantir is a dominant market-leading high-growth company with remarkable profitability potential. Recently, the stock got voted down to a 5x forward sales multiple, when the stock fell down to $6. Now at $9 Palantir is trading at about 7 times forward sales, but it may trade at a significantly higher sales multiple down the line. Many companies with far less growth potential sell at significantly higher sales multiples.Therefore, here's how Palantir's financials could look like as the company advances:Year202220232024202520262027Revenue $2b2.6b3.4b4.4b5.7b7.3bRevenue growth30%30%30%30%28%25%Forward P/S ratio789988Price$9$14$21$27$32$40Source: The Financial ProphetUtilizing the company's projected 30% growth rate through 2025 and a slight drop-off through 2027 gets us to approximately $7.3 billion in revenues in 2027.

Microsoft (MSFT), a software company with much slower growth, trades at about eight times forward sales. Nvidia (NVDA), a growth company with significantly slower growth, trades at approximately 12 times forward sales projections.

Therefore, the market will probably start weighing the company's stock instead of voting for it in the coming years, and Palantir's share price will likely advance much higher.Risks To PalantirDespite my bullish outlook for Palantir, market participants should consider several potential risks associated with this investment. While the growth story is strong at Palantir, shares are not cheap by traditional metrics. Furthermore, the company's earnings are still minimal and may not increase as much as I envision. Moreover, if the company's growth picture were to turn less bullish, the stock could head in the wrong direction.

Since topping $1,200 per share last fall, Tesla shares have fallen to the mid-$600 range per share today. Despite that recent decline, however, the stock has still rallied tremendously over a longer term horizon.</p><p>As a result, Tesla’s management announced a forthcoming three-for-one stock split on Friday. Will this upcoming stock split be enough to get Tesla stock moving forward again? Here’s what you need to know.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Ticker</b></td><td><b>Company</b></td><td><b>Price</b></td></tr><tr><td><b><u>TSLA</u></b></td><td>Tesla, Inc.</td><td>$639.30</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Tesla Asks for Shareholder Approval</h2><p>First off, the proposed split isn’t a done deal yet. Oftentimes, companies simply announce a stock split and that’s that. However, in this case, Tesla needs to obtain shareholder approval to execute its planned stock split.</p><p>This is because Tesla currently has a cap at a maximum of two billion authorized shares of outstanding Tesla stock. However, there are currently 1,036,390,569 shares of existing TSLA stock. This means that Tesla will have roughly 3.1 billion shares of stock after its proposed split, which is well over the present two billion cap. Thus, Tesla isrequesting shareholder approvalfor an Authorized Shares Amendment to lift the permittable outstanding share count well above three billion. There’s no reason to think, however, that shareholders would fail to approve this request.</p><h2>Why Is Tesla Splitting its Stock?</h2><p>Tesla stock has been trading at a high nominal price for quite awhile. So what explains the company’s move to split the stock right now? In itsproxy statement, Tesla called out its employee compensation as a primary driver behind the move:</p><blockquote>“We believe the Stock Split would help reset the market price of our common stock so that our employees will have more flexibility in managing their equity, all of which, in our view, may help maximize stockholder value. In addition, as retail investors have expressed a high level of interest in investing in our stock, we believe the Stock Split will also make our common stock more accessible to our retail shareholders.”</blockquote><p>In addition, as that statement highlights, Tesla believes this will make TSLA stock more appealing for retail investors. And that’s probably true. Here’s why.</p><h2>What’s it Mean for Tesla Shareholders?</h2><p>In a stock split, the value of your investment doesn’t change. If you own 100 shares of Tesla stock at $750 per share on the day of the split, for example, you’ll own 300 shares at the new split price of $250 once the transaction goes into effect. In each case, the underlying stock is worth $75,000.</p><p>While the stock split itself doesn’t change an investment’s value, it can change sentiment. As Tesla’s explanation above showed, it may help newer employees feel that the shares are still at an accessible price to invest in. Same goes for some investors who may not have much capital to work with. A $250 stock feels more approachable than a $750 one.</p><p>Finally, there’s an impact in the options market, as well. To buy a call option on Tesla, for example, it often costs thousands of dollars per contract due to the high stock price of the underlying company. Making Tesla’s stock cheaper will also make its corresponding options more affordable for average retail traders. As much of Tesla’s overall trading activity occurs in put and call options, this split could help level the playing field for smaller investors.</p><h2>TSLA Stock Verdict</h2><p>To be clear, splitting one’s stock isn’t a foolproof move. <b>Amazon.com</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>), for example, just issued a20:1 stock splitof its shares and that did nothing to support the stock price. AMZN stock fell 12% during the week as the split went into effect. So, to be clear, prevailing market conditions can outweigh factors such as a stock split.</p><p>In general, however, a stock split should be a positive event for a company’s share price on average. And with Tesla shares down so sharply in recent months, any sort of positive catalyst could be enough to turn things around. It’s not just the stock split either. On Friday,<b>UBS</b>(NYSE:<b><u>UBS</u></b>) upgraded TSLA stock and gave it a$1,100 price target.

Despite that recent decline, however, the stock has still rallied tremendously over a longer term horizon.As a result, Tesla’s management announced a forthcoming three-for-one stock split on Friday. Will this upcoming stock split be enough to get Tesla stock moving forward again? Here’s what you need to know.TickerCompanyPriceTSLATesla, Inc.$639.30Tesla Asks for Shareholder ApprovalFirst off, the proposed split isn’t a done deal yet. Oftentimes, companies simply announce a stock split and that’s that. However, in this case, Tesla needs to obtain shareholder approval to execute its planned stock split.This is because Tesla currently has a cap at a maximum of two billion authorized shares of outstanding Tesla stock. However, there are currently 1,036,390,569 shares of existing TSLA stock. This means that Tesla will have roughly 3.1 billion shares of stock after its proposed split, which is well over the present two billion cap. Thus, Tesla isrequesting shareholder approvalfor an Authorized Shares Amendment to lift the permittable outstanding share count well above three billion. There’s no reason to think, however, that shareholders would fail to approve this request.Why Is Tesla Splitting its Stock?Tesla stock has been trading at a high nominal price for quite awhile. So what explains the company’s move to split the stock right now? In itsproxy statement, Tesla called out its employee compensation as a primary driver behind the move:“We believe the Stock Split would help reset the market price of our common stock so that our employees will have more flexibility in managing their equity, all of which, in our view, may help maximize stockholder value. In addition, as retail investors have expressed a high level of interest in investing in our stock, we believe the Stock Split will also make our common stock more accessible to our retail shareholders.”In addition, as that statement highlights, Tesla believes this will make TSLA stock more appealing for retail investors. And that’s probably true. Here’s why.What’s it Mean for Tesla Shareholders?In a stock split, the value of your investment doesn’t change. If you own 100 shares of Tesla stock at $750 per share on the day of the split, for example, you’ll own 300 shares at the new split price of $250 once the transaction goes into effect. In each case, the underlying stock is worth $75,000.While the stock split itself doesn’t change an investment’s value, it can change sentiment. As Tesla’s explanation above showed, it may help newer employees feel that the shares are still at an accessible price to invest in. Same goes for some investors who may not have much capital to work with. A $250 stock feels more approachable than a $750 one.Finally, there’s an impact in the options market, as well. To buy a call option on Tesla, for example, it often costs thousands of dollars per contract due to the high stock price of the underlying company. Making Tesla’s stock cheaper will also make its corresponding options more affordable for average retail traders. As much of Tesla’s overall trading activity occurs in put and call options, this split could help level the playing field for smaller investors.TSLA Stock VerdictTo be clear, splitting one’s stock isn’t a foolproof move. Amazon.com(NASDAQ:AMZN), for example, just issued a20:1 stock splitof its shares and that did nothing to support the stock price. AMZN stock fell 12% during the week as the split went into effect. So, to be clear, prevailing market conditions can outweigh factors such as a stock split.In general, however, a stock split should be a positive event for a company’s share price on average. And with Tesla shares down so sharply in recent months, any sort of positive catalyst could be enough to turn things around. It’s not just the stock split either. On Friday,UBS(NYSE:UBS) upgraded TSLA stock and gave it a$1,100 price target. These factors could give Tesla a boost in coming weeks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970587877,"gmtCreate":1684721435800,"gmtModify":1684721439629,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9970587877","repostId":"2337638725","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2337638725","pubTimestamp":1684720022,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2337638725?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-05-22

example of a resilient REIT.The industrial REIT recently reported that distribution per unit inched up 2.5% year on year to S$0.09011 despite the twin worries of high inflation and soaring interest

This can make it difficult for investors to compare the best dividend stocks. Imagine you invest $1,000 in 2 companies. One has shares that trade for $10, and the other has shares that trade for $500. Both offer investors $2 per share in dividend payments. The solution to comparing the companies’ dividends is dividend yield, which shows dividend payment relative to the share price as a percentage.It is worth knowing the payout ratio of a dividend stock. This is the proportion of earnings a company pays out as dividends. If the ratio is over 100% this may mean that there is a possibility that a company will reduce its dividends.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":144,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946893038,"gmtCreate":1680909789025,"gmtModify":1680909792025,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go Palantir go go go","listText":"Go Palantir go go go","text":"Go Palantir go go go","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946893038","repostId":"2325663335","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2325663335","pubTimestamp":1680865370,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2325663335?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-04-07 19:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"If AI Thrives, Palantir Stock Will, Too","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2325663335","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Mastering AI is critical to Palantir's success.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><strong>Palantir Technologies</strong> continues to attract increasing interest for its analytical capabilities, and much of that interest appears to revolve around AI and machine learning (ML).

Does Sheng Siong have the potential to raise its dividend this year?Let’s find out.Financials remain robustSheng Siong has been growing both its revenue and net profit steadily over the years, a testament to the strength of its brand.Revenue has more than doubled from S$578.4 million in 2011 to S$1.37 billion in 2021 while net profit has risen close to five-fold from S$27.3 million to S$132.8 million over the same period.This growth was in line with the steady increase in the number of stores Sheng Siong operates, going from 33 in 2012 to 65 as of end-March 2022.For the first quarter of 2022 (1Q2022), the supermarket operator has continued this momentum.Revenue rose 6% year on year to S$358 million while net profit increased by 13.9% year on year to S$35.2 million.Free cash flow for 1Q2022 stood at S$20.1 million.Sheng Siong’s dividend per share has also been steadily heading up, going from S$0.0177 in 2011 to S$0.062 in 2021.Assuming the group can continue to increase its net profit and maintain its free cash flow generation, there’s a high chance that its dividend can continue to rise.Improving its gross marginOver the years, Sheng Siong has managed to steadily improve its gross margin by tweaking its product mix and relying more on house brand sales.The group offers more than 1,500 products under 23 house brands that range from food products to paper goods.House brands are generic goods that are generally cheaper than similar goods and generate a better gross margin for the retailer.For 1Q2022, Sheng Siong saw its gross margin increase from 27.7% to 28.7%.Subsequently, its operating margin improved from 11.2% to 12.1%.It’s impressive to see the group’s gross margin trending up over time, starting with 26.2% in 2017 to 28.7% in 2021.Better sourcing, bulk discounts from suppliers and a favourable sales mix have helped Sheng Siong improve its gross margins, which in turn flow down to its operating and net margins, thereby further boosting its net profit.There is a good chance that the retailer’s gross margin can continue to improve as it taps on the above strengths.Growing its store countAnother growth catalyst for Sheng Siong is its growing store count.The number of outlets has almost doubled since its IPO.For the past two years, though, growth stagnated as no HDB tenders were awarded during the pandemic.Fortunately, the supply crunch has eased and Sheng Siong managed to open one new store in 2021, and is set to open another two in the first half of 2022.Group CEO Lim Hock Chee has reiterated the group’s plans to open three to five new stores per year over the next three to five years, focusing on areas where the retailer has no presence.Sheng Siong also currently operates four stores in Kunming, China, and the subsidiary is profitable.Near-term headwindsManagement has warned of headwinds that may crimp the group’s earnings in the short term.Elevated demand may taper off as more people head back to the office, but hybrid work could mitigate some of this impact.At the same time,inflationmay dampen consumer spending as more people look to stretch their dollars.However, a positive side effect may be that more people choose to dine at home rather than eat out, thus boosting sales of necessities and food items.Whatever the case, the headwinds described above should prove temporary and should not stall the group’s long-term growth plans.Get Smart: Slow and steady wins the raceSheng Siong has all the makings of a strong brand that Singaporeans know and trust.Having been in operation since 1985, the group has strengthened its presence throughout the heartlands since its IPO and continues to expand its store count.Revenue and net profit should also rise in tandem with this steady expansion.And with higher profits, investors should also look forward to higher dividends in time to come.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":264,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941115897,"gmtCreate":1680049001519,"gmtModify":1680049004983,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice

Invest","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2322264351","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Ark Investment Management and Elon Musk see eye to eye on one product opportunity.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Stock splits were all the rage in 2022 as some of America&#39;s largest companies sought to shrink their share prices after making substantial gains in the years prior. The move ensured their stock remained accessible to retail investors with small amounts of capital, as well as employees who wanted to participate in share purchase plans.</p><p>In August of last year, electric vehicle powerhouse <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla </a> executed a 3-for-1 split that increased the number of shares on issue threefold and shrank its stock price from $891.30 to $297.10. The stock split alone isn&#39;t a reason to buy Tesla because it hasn&#39;t changed the value of the underlying company, but the company&#39;s fundamentals certainly might be.</p><p>Ark Investment Management, led by technology investor Cathie Wood, believes Tesla stock could soar to $1,533.33 by 2026 on the back of growing demand for electric vehicles, plus the rise of fully autonomous robotaxis. The latter is a key area of focus for CEO Elon Musk, too.</p><p>Given Tesla stock trades around $190 as of this writing, that presents an opportunity for investors to earn a substantial return -- particularly retail investors, thanks to last year&#39;s stock split.</p><h2>Tesla and Ark bet big on robotaxis</h2><p>Tesla is, first and foremost, the world&#39;s largest electric vehicle manufacturer. It delivered 1.3 million cars worldwide in 2022, and it holds a 65% market share in the U.S. alone. While the competition is growing, Tesla might just be getting warmed up because Musk believes the company can produce 20 million vehicles per year by 2030.</p><p>But the EV specialist is also a leading developer of autonomous self-driving software, which is not only a financial opportunity in and of itself, but it paves the way for Tesla&#39;s ambitious plan to build a fleet of robotaxis (slated for release in 2024). On the company&#39;s recent fourth-quarter 2022 earnings call, Musk spoke generally about the potential for fully autonomous cars to create more value than anything in history.</p><p>That&#39;s supported by Ark Invest&#39;s lofty predictions for the autonomous ride-hailing industry. The firm believes that any Tesla vehicle on the road with full self-driving capabilities will have the potential to generate $20,000 in revenue per year by transporting people without human assistance. Overall, Ark Invest is betting autonomous ride-hailing will create $14 trillion in value as soon as 2027, with $4 trillion in annual revenue across the industry.</p><p>Remarkably, Ark Invest says using autonomous taxis could cost as little as $0.25 per mile, which means they have the potential to replace 60% of short-haul flights based on affordability. That&#39;s a big opportunity for Tesla, which has approximately 2.7 million cars on the road collecting data to feed its self-driving models right now -- 10 times more than its closest competitor.</p><h2>Ark Invest is extremely bullish on Tesla stock</h2><p>Ark Invest currently runs eight exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on making long-term bets on different segments of the technology sector. Three of those ETFs own a combined $975 million worth of Tesla stock, and it&#39;s the firm&#39;s single largest holding by value -- value that could soar if its bold forecast becomes reality.</p><p>Ark Invest put forward a 2026 price target of $1,533.33 for Tesla stock, which would represent a substantial 705% upside from where it trades today. It also means Tesla would be worth a whopping $5.3 trillion!</p><p>The forecast assumes the EV maker is generating $843 billion in revenue that year, the majority of which would be coming from electric vehicle sales, and 34% from its robotaxi business. But considering Wall Street analysts expect just $103 billion in revenue in 2023, it means the company will have to more than double its revenue in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026.</p><p>That&#39;s ambitious, if not unlikely.

The move ensured their stock remained accessible to retail investors with small amounts of capital, as well as employees who wanted to participate in share purchase plans.In August of last year, electric vehicle powerhouse Tesla  executed a 3-for-1 split that increased the number of shares on issue threefold and shrank its stock price from $891.30 to $297.10. The stock split alone isn't a reason to buy Tesla because it hasn't changed the value of the underlying company, but the company's fundamentals certainly might be.Ark Investment Management, led by technology investor Cathie Wood, believes Tesla stock could soar to $1,533.33 by 2026 on the back of growing demand for electric vehicles, plus the rise of fully autonomous robotaxis. The latter is a key area of focus for CEO Elon Musk, too.Given Tesla stock trades around $190 as of this writing, that presents an opportunity for investors to earn a substantial return -- particularly retail investors, thanks to last year's stock split.Tesla and Ark bet big on robotaxisTesla is, first and foremost, the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer. It delivered 1.3 million cars worldwide in 2022, and it holds a 65% market share in the U.S. alone. While the competition is growing, Tesla might just be getting warmed up because Musk believes the company can produce 20 million vehicles per year by 2030.But the EV specialist is also a leading developer of autonomous self-driving software, which is not only a financial opportunity in and of itself, but it paves the way for Tesla's ambitious plan to build a fleet of robotaxis (slated for release in 2024). On the company's recent fourth-quarter 2022 earnings call, Musk spoke generally about the potential for fully autonomous cars to create more value than anything in history.That's supported by Ark Invest's lofty predictions for the autonomous ride-hailing industry. The firm believes that any Tesla vehicle on the road with full self-driving capabilities will have the potential to generate $20,000 in revenue per year by transporting people without human assistance. Overall, Ark Invest is betting autonomous ride-hailing will create $14 trillion in value as soon as 2027, with $4 trillion in annual revenue across the industry.Remarkably, Ark Invest says using autonomous taxis could cost as little as $0.25 per mile, which means they have the potential to replace 60% of short-haul flights based on affordability. That's a big opportunity for Tesla, which has approximately 2.7 million cars on the road collecting data to feed its self-driving models right now -- 10 times more than its closest competitor.Ark Invest is extremely bullish on Tesla stockArk Invest currently runs eight exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on making long-term bets on different segments of the technology sector. Three of those ETFs own a combined $975 million worth of Tesla stock, and it's the firm's single largest holding by value -- value that could soar if its bold forecast becomes reality.Ark Invest put forward a 2026 price target of $1,533.33 for Tesla stock, which would represent a substantial 705% upside from where it trades today. It also means Tesla would be worth a whopping $5.3 trillion!The forecast assumes the EV maker is generating $843 billion in revenue that year, the majority of which would be coming from electric vehicle sales, and 34% from its robotaxi business. But considering Wall Street analysts expect just $103 billion in revenue in 2023, it means the company will have to more than double its revenue in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026.That's ambitious, if not unlikely. Tesla's own forecasts point to 50% annual growth in vehicle sales, suggesting revenue should increase at roughly the same rate. That's half the pace of Ark's estimate, which means its $1,533.33 price target may not be achievable by 2026.But that's not to say it isn't achievable eventually. In fact, if Tesla does produce 20 million cars per year by 2030 (as Musk predicts), combined with revenue from self-driving software and robotaxis, then there's every chance Tesla stock can soar to $1,533.33 by the end of this decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9049747824,"gmtCreate":1655854148568,"gmtModify":1676535716557,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great news 👏 👍&nbsp;","listText":"Great news 👏 👍&nbsp;","text":"Great news 👏 👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9049747824","repostId":"1156996750","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1156996750","pubTimestamp":1655853437,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1156996750?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-22 07:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bank of America Says It’s Time to Buy Palantir (PLTR) Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156996750","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Palantir(NYSE:PLTR) is rising after Bank of America initiated coverage of the data analytics company","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) is rising after Bank of America initiated coverage of the data analytics company with a &#34;buy&#34; recommendation.</li><li>PLTR stock has fallen more than 50% year-to-date to trade near $8.80 per share.</li><li>The Denver, Colorado-based company has struggled to meet Wall Street expectations for its earnings.</li></ul><p>Shares of <b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) are up 4% today after <b>Bank of America</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>) upgraded PLTR stock to a“buy” recommendation.</p><p>Bank of America said the Denver, Colorado-based data analytics company should benefit from growing demand for artificial intelligence platforms.

A respectable set of financial numbersFor 2022, Sheng Siong saw its revenue dip by 2.2% year on year to S$1.3 billion as demand normalised on the back of easing mobility restrictions as of 1 April 2022.Comparable store sales saw a 4.8% year on year decline but were offset by a 2.1% year on year revenue contribution from the opening of five new stores.Despite the lower revenue, Sheng Siong reported a slightly higher gross profit of S$393.5 million for 2022 compared to S$393.3 million in 2021 as the gross margin improved (more on this in point three below).Net profit ended up almost flat year on year at S$133.6 million.The group generated a free cash flow of S$158 million in 2022, 12.1% higher year on year.A final dividend of S$0.0307 was declared, bringing the full-year dividend to S$0.0622.The totaldividendwas slightly higher than 2021’s dividend of S$0.062 and demonstrates management’s commitment to rewarding shareholders.2. Continued store expansionSource: Sheng Siong 2022 Presentation SlidesSheng Siong has managed to continue growing its store count even through 2021 and 2022.The retailer ended 2022 with a total of 67 stores, three more than it had in 2021.In addition, the store area also continued to expand, going from 576,600 square feet in 2021 to 607,800 square feet a year later.The group has grown its store count impressively over the past 10 years, doubling it from just 33 back in 2013 to the current 67.3. A steady uplift in gross marginGross margin is one aspect that Sheng Siong works on improving year after year.For 2022, the retailer has once again increased its gross margin from 28.7% a year ago to 29.4%.When compared with 2019, it’s clear that the gross margin has gone through a vast improvement as it was just 26.9% back then.The group is committed to improving its sales mix to shift towards higher margin products, notably its house brand products, of which it has 23.Another method is to derive better efficiency from its supply chain, which may involve bulk discounts on large purchases of products.4. A boost from inflation and Budget 2023With Singapore’s coreinflationrunning at 4.1% for 2022, more households are expected to cut back on their spending this year.This cutback is good news for Sheng Siong, though.More consumers will hold back on dining in expensive restaurants and cafes and, instead, increase their spending on groceries and fresh food.Moreover, the Singapore government has given the retail sector a shot in the arm by doling out a wide range of payouts and rebates in its recent Budget 2023.Cash will be given in the form of GST Vouchers as well as a special cost-of-living payment to offset inflation.The Assurance Package will also give out S$300 in Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers in 2024 to help offset household expenses.These CDC vouchers can be used at food and beverage outlets and also supermarket operators such as Sheng Siong.5. HDB ramp-up should benefit new store openingsManagement seeks to grow through the expansion of Sheng Siong’s store network in areas where it does not have a presence.The plan is to open at least three new stores per year, with one new store slated to open in March 2023.This year looks set to be a promising one for the retailer as HDB ramps up its flat supply.Around 100,000 private and public homes will be completed between 2023 and 2025, with nearly 40,000 to be ready this year alone.Of these, around 20,000 HDB flats will be completed across 22 projects, assured National Development Minister Desmond Lee.This vast increase in the supply of HDB flats opens up enticing opportunities for Sheng Siong to bid for shop spaces to increase its store footprint.If successful, new store growth along with higher comparable store sales should continue to drive up the retailer’s revenue and net profit.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9059845839,"gmtCreate":1654342166821,"gmtModify":1676535433873,"author":{"id":"4112071657816562","authorId":"4112071657816562","name":"dyipkm","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Possible time to shop","listText":"Possible time to shop","text":"Possible time to shop","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9059845839","repostId":"2240777362","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":14,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
