Utilities, a defensive sector often preferred during times of economic uncertainty, was the only exception, gaining 0.7%.Future economic growth prospects were in focus on Tuesday following comments from financial titans pointing toward uncertain times ahead.Bank of America Corp's chief executive predicted three quarters of mild negative growth next year, while JPMorgan Chase and Co's CEO Jamie Dimon said inflation will erode consumer spending power and that a mild to more pronounced recession was likely ahead.Their comments came on the heels of recent views from BlackRock and others that believe the U.S. Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary tightening to combat stubbornly high price rises could induce an economic downturn in 2023.\"The market is very reactive right now,\" said David Sadkin, president at Bel Air Investment Advisors.He noted that, while markets traditionally reflect the future, right now they are moving up and down based on the latest headlines.Fears about economic growth come amid a re-evaluation by traders of what path future interest rate hikes will take, following strong data on jobs and the services sector in recent days.Money market bets are pointing to a 91% chance that the U.S. central bank might raise rates by 50 basis points at its Dec. 13-14 policy meeting, with rates expected to peak at 4.98% in May 2023, up from 4.92% estimated on Monday before service-sector data was released.The S&P 500 rallied 13.8% in October and November on hopes of smaller rate hikes and better-than-expected earnings, although such Fed expectations could be undermined by further data releases, including producer prices due out on Friday.\"The market got ahead of itself at the end of November, but then we got some good economic data, so people are re-evaluating what the Fed is going to do next week,\" said Bel Air's Sadkin.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 350.76 points, or 1.03%, to close at 33,596.34, the S&P 500 lost 57.58 points, or 1.44%, to finish at 3,941.26 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 225.05 points, or 2%, to end on 11,014.89.Jitters on the direction of global growth have also weighed on oil prices, with U.S. crude slipping to levels last seen in January, before Russia's invasion of Ukraine disrupted supply markets. The energy sector fell 2.7% on Tuesday.Banks are among the most sensitive stocks to an economic downturn, as they potentially face negative effects from bad loans or slowing loan growth. The S&P banks index slipped 1.4% to its lowest close since Oct. 21.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 11.01 billion shares, in line with the average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.The S&P 500 posted three new 52-week highs and nine new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 52 new highs and 262 new lows.

And yet, famous short seller Hedgeye recently recommended Microsoft as a compelling short idea. I do not believe that MSFT is a great short pick at current valuations, as I will lay out in this article, and I do believe that shorting Microsoft could be a money-losing idea. Both from a valuation perspective and from a business-quality perspective, there are way better short ideas available for those that are interested in shorting individual stocks.</p><h2>One Of The Highest-Quality Companies In The World</h2><p>I do believe that Microsoft can be described as a company of excellent quality. This belief is based on several factors. The first one is Microsoft&#39;s excellent balance sheet. As one of just two companies in the world, it holds an AAA credit rating, the other one being Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ). In other words, rating agencies believe that a Microsoft default is less likely than a US government default, showcasing the exceptionally low financial risks for Microsoft.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a8867c1fbb4246270415a1cd091cbbf3\" tg-width=\"621\" tg-height=\"653\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Microsoft 10-K</span></p><p>The company holds a net cash position of $58 billion, as we can see in the above excerpt from Microsoft&#39;s most recent 10-K. That is equal to about 4% of the company&#39;s current market capitalization, which is a much stronger cash balance compared to what most other companies operate with.</p><p>Microsoft has many other strengths on top of that, however. Its returns on capital and margins are excellent, for example:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a7aff828b3a71aec73673706888c66a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Microsoft&#39;s net profit margin stands at a very high level of 37%, which has several advantages. First, it means that Microsoft will earn a large amount of money on incremental sales, meaning that business growth is highly profitable for investors over time. On top of that, the very high profit margin protects Microsoft from downturns. If inflation (e.g., for employee compensation) were to hurt Microsoft&#39;s profit margins by a couple hundred of base points, the company could easily stomach that. A company operating with low profit margins would see its net profits get devastated in the same scenario.</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s quality is also showcased by its recession resilience. Many of the company&#39;s products are essential for business and how we live our lives, such as the Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite. Not surprisingly, MSFT has seen its revenue remain very resilient versus past crises:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d61ed5cee2c7605de079a25d05558c6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Since the company went public around 40 years ago, there was barely any revenue decline. During the Great Recession and in 2016 revenues dropped marginally, but that was by far not enough to threaten the company&#39;s profitability meaningfully. The company thus also didn&#39;t have to cut its dividend in those times, although it should be noted that its dividend yield is rather low, making MSFT far from a great income pick. Still, the resilience versus recessions and other types of macro issues such as the pandemic is great for long-term holders, especially for those that are looking for a sleep-well-at-night pick.</p><p>Last but not least, Microsoft also has strong management in place. Its current CEO Satya Nadella has guided the company very well for years and has identified clear growth trends such as mobile and cloud computing.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dfefa57d6b64416d48801e928cca287\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Insiders own a little more than 6% of the company, and that amount has been growing over the years. That amounts to around $100 billion that insiders have invested in the company, leading to strong alignment with other shareholders -- there&#39;s thus little risk that the company&#39;s executives will pursue strategies that will not create value for the company&#39;s owners.</p><p>Microsoft thus is a company of great quality, but there are two other reasons on top of that why I believe that shorting MSFT is far from a great idea here.</p><h2>Microsoft Has A Compelling Growth Outlook</h2><p>First, the company should experience considerable business growth and even stronger earnings per share growth over the coming years. As we have seen earlier, recessions have barely any impact on Microsoft, thus the current economic downturn does not seem like a reason to worry too much. In the long run, several macro trends are poised to lead to significant revenue gains for the company. With Azure, Microsoft is one of the leading cloud computing companies in the world. The cloud computing market is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 16% between 2022 and 2028 according to this study. As one of the leading players in this space, Microsoft should get a sizeable portion of the to-be-created market opportunity.</p><p>Its legacy businesses Windows and Office will be growing less, but will deliver some growth nevertheless. Price increases and some additions of new customers, e.g., due to digitalization in developing countries, should allow for a meaningful growth rate, even though double-digit revenue gains are unlikely in those segments in the long run. Microsoft&#39;s gaming business is not overly large yet, relative to the company&#39;s size overall, but keeps growing, and its pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI) should accelerate Microsoft&#39;s growth potential in that space further, due to MSFT getting access to strong IP and ATVI&#39;s talent.</p><p>Between these growth drivers, Microsoft is forecasted to see its revenue grow by double-digits every year through 2030:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf181a8ec76d71463172fe8fbd9b386c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"308\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Of course, forecasting revenues 5 or 8 years from now comes with considerable uncertainties. So let&#39;s assume that actual growth will be just half as high as expected, even though Microsoft has a history of outperforming expectations -- it has beaten revenue estimates in 9 out of the last 10 quarters. If revenue growth is just half as high as expected, that would pencil out to an annual growth rate of around 6%. That would still be far from bad. Earnings per share growth should be higher, due to the impact of share repurchases. With Microsoft trading at a low 20s earnings multiple today, it can repurchase shares at a pretty meaningful pace.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d51d10a185ef2b1dc2550e9e1af574a5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Buybacks have totaled $31 billion over the last year, equal to around 2% of the company&#39;s market capitalization. The buyback amount has been steadily growing, however, which is why I believe that future buybacks will be higher. But even with 2% of its shares being bought back per year, Microsoft&#39;s earnings per share would likely grow at a pace of 8% in the 6% revenue growth scenario.</p><p>Thus, when we expect that MSFT will massively underperform expectations and grow just half as much as forecasted, even though MSFT has a history of performing <i>better</i> than expected, Microsoft still should deliver a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate. Shorting unprofitable companies, or those with declining profits, seems like a better idea to me compared to shorting highly profitable companies with good earnings growth outlooks that can buy back shares at a hefty pace.</p><h2>Microsoft: Valuation Is Undemanding</h2><p>Last but not least, there&#39;s a final reason why I believe that Microsoft is far from a great short today. In fact, I believe that MSFT is suitable for a long investment at current prices.</p><p>The company&#39;s valuation was pretty high a year ago, but has come down to a very reasonable level in the recent past:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a51094907a3d1bd7cf5fb0cc2b99110\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>At current prices, Microsoft trades for a low-20s earnings multiple, while next year&#39;s earnings multiple is even lower, at just 19. That is, I believe, an inexpensive valuation for a company of great quality that has a compelling growth outlook. Also, very telling, it represents a clear discount compared to how Microsoft was valued over the last three and five years. In fact, its valuation could expand by close to 50% for the company to trade in line with the averages over the last 3 and 5 years. The 10-year median earnings multiple is lower, but still around 20% higher than the company&#39;s current valuation. This suggests that right now is a relatively opportune time to add shares of Microsoft. At the same time, with MSFT trading below the historic valuation norm today, it looks like a rather bad time to enter a short position. Microsoft was trading at a historically high earnings multiple of 36 at the beginning of the year -- it would have been a much better short back then. But shares have dropped more than 30% since then, and now they don&#39;t look like a good short at all, I believe.</p><h2>Takeaway</h2><p>Microsoft is a great company with a compelling long-term growth outlook. At the same time, its current valuation is below the historically normal range today. I thus believe that right now is a bad time to enter a short position in Microsoft stock, especially as it has proven to be very resilient versus recessions in the past.</p><p>Of course, every stock could decline during an ongoing market downturn. But if one wants to speculate on that, shorting the indices could be a better idea. Alternatively, shorting non-profitable or highly leveraged companies could be a solid way to play an ongoing market downturn. But shorting one of the highest-quality companies in the world while it is trading at a clear discount compared to how it used to be valued does not seem like a good strategy to me -- it could lose short sellers a lot of money.</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>Microsoft: Don't Lose Your Money</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\">\nMicrosoft: Don't Lose Your Money\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-17 08:09 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4546707-microsoft-dont-lose-your-money><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Article ThesisMicrosoft is a very high-quality company with growth tailwinds that seems poised for compelling total returns in the long run from the current level.

And yet, famous short seller Hedgeye recently recommended Microsoft as a compelling short idea. I do not believe that MSFT is a great short pick at current valuations, as I will lay out in this article, and I do believe that shorting Microsoft could be a money-losing idea. Both from a valuation perspective and from a business-quality perspective, there are way better short ideas available for those that are interested in shorting individual stocks.One Of The Highest-Quality Companies In The WorldI do believe that Microsoft can be described as a company of excellent quality. This belief is based on several factors. The first one is Microsoft's excellent balance sheet. As one of just two companies in the world, it holds an AAA credit rating, the other one being Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). In other words, rating agencies believe that a Microsoft default is less likely than a US government default, showcasing the exceptionally low financial risks for Microsoft.Microsoft 10-KThe company holds a net cash position of $58 billion, as we can see in the above excerpt from Microsoft's most recent 10-K. That is equal to about 4% of the company's current market capitalization, which is a much stronger cash balance compared to what most other companies operate with.Microsoft has many other strengths on top of that, however. Its returns on capital and margins are excellent, for example:Data by YChartsMicrosoft's net profit margin stands at a very high level of 37%, which has several advantages. First, it means that Microsoft will earn a large amount of money on incremental sales, meaning that business growth is highly profitable for investors over time. On top of that, the very high profit margin protects Microsoft from downturns. If inflation (e.g., for employee compensation) were to hurt Microsoft's profit margins by a couple hundred of base points, the company could easily stomach that. A company operating with low profit margins would see its net profits get devastated in the same scenario.Microsoft's quality is also showcased by its recession resilience. Many of the company's products are essential for business and how we live our lives, such as the Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite. Not surprisingly, MSFT has seen its revenue remain very resilient versus past crises:Data by YChartsSince the company went public around 40 years ago, there was barely any revenue decline. During the Great Recession and in 2016 revenues dropped marginally, but that was by far not enough to threaten the company's profitability meaningfully. The company thus also didn't have to cut its dividend in those times, although it should be noted that its dividend yield is rather low, making MSFT far from a great income pick. Still, the resilience versus recessions and other types of macro issues such as the pandemic is great for long-term holders, especially for those that are looking for a sleep-well-at-night pick.Last but not least, Microsoft also has strong management in place. Its current CEO Satya Nadella has guided the company very well for years and has identified clear growth trends such as mobile and cloud computing.Data by YChartsInsiders own a little more than 6% of the company, and that amount has been growing over the years. That amounts to around $100 billion that insiders have invested in the company, leading to strong alignment with other shareholders -- there's thus little risk that the company's executives will pursue strategies that will not create value for the company's owners.Microsoft thus is a company of great quality, but there are two other reasons on top of that why I believe that shorting MSFT is far from a great idea here.Microsoft Has A Compelling Growth OutlookFirst, the company should experience considerable business growth and even stronger earnings per share growth over the coming years. As we have seen earlier, recessions have barely any impact on Microsoft, thus the current economic downturn does not seem like a reason to worry too much. In the long run, several macro trends are poised to lead to significant revenue gains for the company. With Azure, Microsoft is one of the leading cloud computing companies in the world. The cloud computing market is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 16% between 2022 and 2028 according to this study.

The current tally is less than 200,000, the documents show.</p><p>Most visitors to Horizon generally don’t return to the app after the first month, and the user base has steadily declined since the spring, according to the documents, which include internal memos from employees.</p><p>By comparison, Meta’s social-media products, including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, together attract more than 3.5 billion average monthly users—a figure equivalent to almost half the world’s population. Horizon is currently reaching less than the population of Sioux Falls, S.D.</p><p>Horizon is designed to be a sprawling collection of interactive virtual spaces, or worlds, in which users appearing as avatars can shop, party and work. Yet there are rarely any girls in the Hot Girl Summer Rooftop Pool Party, and in Murder Village there is often no one to kill. Even the company’s showcase worlds, such as Questy’s, a virtual arcade featured in a Super Bowl commercial earlier this year, are mostly barren of users.</p><p>According to internal statistics, only 9% of worlds built by creators are ever visited by at least 50 people. Most are never visited at all.</p><p>“An empty world is a sad world,” said one document summarizing the company’s efforts to herd users toward venues where they would encounter others.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07df1cd0b3c36cc708f45f5f54802d3a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"402\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Questy’s, a virtual arcade featured in a Super Bowl commercial, hasn’t drawn many users.</p><p>A Meta spokesman said the company’s metaverse efforts were always intended to be a multiyear project, and that it is making improvements, including many designed to keep users safe. He said it is easy to be a cynic about the metaverse, but that the company continues to believe it is the future of computing.</p><p>Horizon is accessible through Meta’s Quest virtual-reality headsets, which offer a range of games and activities. Quest retention rates, meaning continued use by owners, have dropped in each of the past three years, the documents show. More than half of Quest headsets—the entry model costs about $400—aren’t in use six months after they are purchased, according to people familiar with the data.</p><p>In a survey of Horizon users, Meta researchers said users reported that they couldn’t find metaverse worlds they liked and couldn’t find other people to hang out with. Other complaints included that “people do not look real” and that the avatars don’t have legs.</p><p>The researchers noted that the survey included only 514 people because the available pool of users to survey is “small and precious.”</p><p>The number of Horizon users online at the same time, known as concurrency, trails far behind both the socially focused upstart VR Chat and Second Life, the pioneering cyberworld that was launched in 2003, said people familiar with the matter.</p><p>To deal with persistent bugs and user complaints, Meta last month quietly put Horizon on “lockdown,” meaning it is pausing the launch of new features until it improves the current user experience, the documents show.</p><p>The company’s metaverse challenges coincide with business issues on other fronts, including increasing pressure on its digital-ad business and competition from social-media app TikTok. Meta shares are down more than 60% in the past year. The company has lost more than $700 billion in market value since the peak in September 2021.</p><p>At a metaverse-themed event on Tuesday, Mr. Zuckerberg unveiled a new virtual-reality headset called the Quest Pro, which is aimed at making it easier for architects, engineers and designers to work in the metaverse. With a $1,500 price tag, it isn’t aimed at average consumers, but Mr. Zuckerberg said it would set a new standard for metaverse technology. He also promised that avatars would soon get legs in Horizon.</p><p>Meta has said it plans to expand the experience to more people with a web version of Horizon for mobile devices and computers. It had said it planned to launch that version this year, but when asked on Tuesday if that was still the case, a spokesman said Meta didn’t have any launch dates to disclose.</p><p>Other tech giants, including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft Corp.</a> and Apple Inc., are developing products on the belief that the metaverse is the next digital frontier.</p><p>Rolf Illenberger, chief executive of virtual-reality software company VRdirect, said in an interview that Horizon has issues to address, but asked critics to have patience and recognize that the industry is still developing. “We’re trying to land on the moon, and people are complaining that the coffee machine’s not working,” he said.</p><p>The metaverse was supposed to offer Meta a fresh start as it faces other business pressures and negative publicity. The new strategy was announced weeks after the leak of thousands of pages of internal records documenting the business struggles and societal downsides of the company’s social-media products, documented in a Wall Street Journal series called The Facebook Files.</p><p>The company’s announcement that it was pivoting to focus on the metaverse kicked off a corporate rush to stake claims on the new format. Companies hired “chief metaverse officers.” Hucksters sold metaverse real estate. Luxury brands Balenciaga and Prada joined with Meta to promote digital clothes, and even liquor makers such as Absolut Vodka opened bars and distilleries in the metaverse.</p><p>In a Meta memo titled “AR, VR or the Metaverse: Which is the next billion-user platform?”, Dare Obasanjo, lead product manager for Horizon and the metaverse platform, wrote: “You will have freedom of identity and expression and can hang out, work, play, learn, shop, create and more in an endless number of virtual worlds that could not exist in real life.”</p><p>While Mr. Obasanjo said that the metaverse—which is accessible not just by virtual reality headsets but PCs, mobile phones and augmented-reality products such as smart glasses—has a better shot at mass adoption than augmented or virtual reality products, Meta hasn’t yet pulled together a strategy for investing in it.</p><p>“Currently it’s unclear where the metaverse fits in the investment framework,“ he wrote in the memo. ”We are overdue for a reassessment of how we invest and allocate resources.”</p><p>Meta has canceled or delayed early metaverse-related products, and current and former employees said there is disagreement inside the company about whether Horizon should be focused on games or, as is Mr. Zuckerberg’s preference, social connection.</p><p>In a memo last month announcing the lockdown of Horizon, which was first reported by the tech publication the Verge, Meta’s Metaverse Vice President Vishal Shah wrote that the core thesis for the metaverse has proven to be strong. But stability issues and complaints from creators, he said, are “making it too hard for our community to enjoy the magic of Horizon.”</p><p>Part of the problem, he said, is that Meta employees aren’t using the product enough themselves. “The simple truth is, if we don’t love it, how can we expect our users to love it?” he wrote.</p><p>Among the persistent complaints from early adopters and testers, according to the documents, are that users have trouble adjusting to the technology, and that other users behave badly.</p><p>On a recent night, a female Journal reporter visited one of Horizon’s most popular virtual worlds, the Soapstone Comedy Club. It had about 20 users in it, all appearing as avatars. When the reporter introduced herself and tried to conduct an interview with a small group, one user replied: “You can report on me, baby.” The same user then asked her to expose herself.</p><p>One user who was flirting with a woman in the crowd was interrupted by what appeared to be his real-life girlfriend yelling obscenities at him in the background.</p><p>According to the documents, men outnumber women in Horizon by two to one. One safety feature Horizon has introduced is an option for users to create the equivalent of a 4-foot personal boundary for their avatars to deter unwanted physical contact.</p><p>The next day, a male Journal reporter visited a “house party” in which he was one of two people in attendance. He and the other avatar jumped into a boxing ring and fought for a round while wearing jack-o-lantern sparring headgear, then played beer pong. The other avatar never spoke and the game ended after about 10 minutes. The reporter’s avatar later fell into the pool and couldn’t figure out how to get out. There was no one around to help.</p><p>Some Horizon users said in interviews they already spend many hours a day in the metaverse, entranced by the serendipitous interaction it can yield. One user who said she was homebound after a kidney transplant said it was her principal source of recreation.</p><p>Beginners, however, can run into trouble.Carlos Silva, a 41-year-old IT project manager in Maryland, bought a Quest 2 and joined Horizon early last year hoping to find more social interaction during the pandemic. On the first day, when he went to the main meeting space, no one was there.</p><p>“I was like, you know, this is the whole reason why I bought this thing,” he said. “So I’m going to figure this out, how to find where to go and how to meet people.”</p><p>These days, he runs tours in Horizon every Wednesday, helping new players find their way around.

The current tally is less than 200,000, the documents show.Most visitors to Horizon generally don’t return to the app after the first month, and the user base has steadily declined since the spring, according to the documents, which include internal memos from employees.By comparison, Meta’s social-media products, including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, together attract more than 3.5 billion average monthly users—a figure equivalent to almost half the world’s population. Horizon is currently reaching less than the population of Sioux Falls, S.D.Horizon is designed to be a sprawling collection of interactive virtual spaces, or worlds, in which users appearing as avatars can shop, party and work. Yet there are rarely any girls in the Hot Girl Summer Rooftop Pool Party, and in Murder Village there is often no one to kill. Even the company’s showcase worlds, such as Questy’s, a virtual arcade featured in a Super Bowl commercial earlier this year, are mostly barren of users.According to internal statistics, only 9% of worlds built by creators are ever visited by at least 50 people. Most are never visited at all.“An empty world is a sad world,” said one document summarizing the company’s efforts to herd users toward venues where they would encounter others.Questy’s, a virtual arcade featured in a Super Bowl commercial, hasn’t drawn many users.A Meta spokesman said the company’s metaverse efforts were always intended to be a multiyear project, and that it is making improvements, including many designed to keep users safe. He said it is easy to be a cynic about the metaverse, but that the company continues to believe it is the future of computing.Horizon is accessible through Meta’s Quest virtual-reality headsets, which offer a range of games and activities. Quest retention rates, meaning continued use by owners, have dropped in each of the past three years, the documents show. More than half of Quest headsets—the entry model costs about $400—aren’t in use six months after they are purchased, according to people familiar with the data.In a survey of Horizon users, Meta researchers said users reported that they couldn’t find metaverse worlds they liked and couldn’t find other people to hang out with. Other complaints included that “people do not look real” and that the avatars don’t have legs.The researchers noted that the survey included only 514 people because the available pool of users to survey is “small and precious.”The number of Horizon users online at the same time, known as concurrency, trails far behind both the socially focused upstart VR Chat and Second Life, the pioneering cyberworld that was launched in 2003, said people familiar with the matter.To deal with persistent bugs and user complaints, Meta last month quietly put Horizon on “lockdown,” meaning it is pausing the launch of new features until it improves the current user experience, the documents show.The company’s metaverse challenges coincide with business issues on other fronts, including increasing pressure on its digital-ad business and competition from social-media app TikTok. Meta shares are down more than 60% in the past year. The company has lost more than $700 billion in market value since the peak in September 2021.At a metaverse-themed event on Tuesday, Mr. Zuckerberg unveiled a new virtual-reality headset called the Quest Pro, which is aimed at making it easier for architects, engineers and designers to work in the metaverse. With a $1,500 price tag, it isn’t aimed at average consumers, but Mr. Zuckerberg said it would set a new standard for metaverse technology. He also promised that avatars would soon get legs in Horizon.Meta has said it plans to expand the experience to more people with a web version of Horizon for mobile devices and computers. It had said it planned to launch that version this year, but when asked on Tuesday if that was still the case, a spokesman said Meta didn’t have any launch dates to disclose.Other tech giants, including Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc., are developing products on the belief that the metaverse is the next digital frontier.Rolf Illenberger, chief executive of virtual-reality software company VRdirect, said in an interview that Horizon has issues to address, but asked critics to have patience and recognize that the industry is still developing. “We’re trying to land on the moon, and people are complaining that the coffee machine’s not working,” he said.The metaverse was supposed to offer Meta a fresh start as it faces other business pressures and negative publicity. The new strategy was announced weeks after the leak of thousands of pages of internal records documenting the business struggles and societal downsides of the company’s social-media products, documented in a Wall Street Journal series called The Facebook Files.The company’s announcement that it was pivoting to focus on the metaverse kicked off a corporate rush to stake claims on the new format. Companies hired “chief metaverse officers.” Hucksters sold metaverse real estate. Luxury brands Balenciaga and Prada joined with Meta to promote digital clothes, and even liquor makers such as Absolut Vodka opened bars and distilleries in the metaverse.In a Meta memo titled “AR, VR or the Metaverse: Which is the next billion-user platform?”, Dare Obasanjo, lead product manager for Horizon and the metaverse platform, wrote: “You will have freedom of identity and expression and can hang out, work, play, learn, shop, create and more in an endless number of virtual worlds that could not exist in real life.”While Mr. Obasanjo said that the metaverse—which is accessible not just by virtual reality headsets but PCs, mobile phones and augmented-reality products such as smart glasses—has a better shot at mass adoption than augmented or virtual reality products, Meta hasn’t yet pulled together a strategy for investing in it.“Currently it’s unclear where the metaverse fits in the investment framework,“ he wrote in the memo. ”We are overdue for a reassessment of how we invest and allocate resources.”Meta has canceled or delayed early metaverse-related products, and current and former employees said there is disagreement inside the company about whether Horizon should be focused on games or, as is Mr. Zuckerberg’s preference, social connection.In a memo last month announcing the lockdown of Horizon, which was first reported by the tech publication the Verge, Meta’s Metaverse Vice President Vishal Shah wrote that the core thesis for the metaverse has proven to be strong. But stability issues and complaints from creators, he said, are “making it too hard for our community to enjoy the magic of Horizon.”Part of the problem, he said, is that Meta employees aren’t using the product enough themselves. “The simple truth is, if we don’t love it, how can we expect our users to love it?” he wrote.Among the persistent complaints from early adopters and testers, according to the documents, are that users have trouble adjusting to the technology, and that other users behave badly.On a recent night, a female Journal reporter visited one of Horizon’s most popular virtual worlds, the Soapstone Comedy Club. It had about 20 users in it, all appearing as avatars. When the reporter introduced herself and tried to conduct an interview with a small group, one user replied: “You can report on me, baby.” The same user then asked her to expose herself.One user who was flirting with a woman in the crowd was interrupted by what appeared to be his real-life girlfriend yelling obscenities at him in the background.According to the documents, men outnumber women in Horizon by two to one. One safety feature Horizon has introduced is an option for users to create the equivalent of a 4-foot personal boundary for their avatars to deter unwanted physical contact.The next day, a male Journal reporter visited a “house party” in which he was one of two people in attendance. He and the other avatar jumped into a boxing ring and fought for a round while wearing jack-o-lantern sparring headgear, then played beer pong. The other avatar never spoke and the game ended after about 10 minutes. The reporter’s avatar later fell into the pool and couldn’t figure out how to get out. There was no one around to help.Some Horizon users said in interviews they already spend many hours a day in the metaverse, entranced by the serendipitous interaction it can yield. One user who said she was homebound after a kidney transplant said it was her principal source of recreation.Beginners, however, can run into trouble.Carlos Silva, a 41-year-old IT project manager in Maryland, bought a Quest 2 and joined Horizon early last year hoping to find more social interaction during the pandemic. On the first day, when he went to the main meeting space, no one was there.“I was like, you know, this is the whole reason why I bought this thing,” he said. “So I’m going to figure this out, how to find where to go and how to meet people.”These days, he runs tours in Horizon every Wednesday, helping new players find their way around. He said interest in the tours peaked around last Christmas. Back then, he said, he was seeing up to 400 unique visitors per tour, but that number has dwindled to 150 or less in recent months. The metaverse, he said, is about “the future in like 10 years, not the future next year.”Meta wants users like Mr. Silva to create their own worlds using Horizon’s tools, which allow them to take 3-D objects like cubes and spheres and shape them into things like trees and chairs. But less than 1% of users are creating their own worlds, the documents show.Meta’s researchers found that, though many of Horizon’s early creators became unengaged, they could be won back. “Many say they would return if pain points are fixed,” read one memo about creation attrition.Many of them were frustrated by another issue Meta is grappling with: how users can make money in the metaverse.On other social-media platforms, including TikTok and Meta’s Instagram, influencers and other creators can make money through brand endorsements, among other things. There isn’t yet anything similar in the metaverse.“Some creators have a desire to work full time in the metaverse,” said the Meta memo. “If there were full-time roles with the right compensation, some creators would make building the metaverse their full-time day job.”While Meta has supported some worlds with bonus payments to the people responsible for them, efforts to promote other forms of commerce are still nascent. The most lucrative of Horizon’s worlds has cumulatively brought in $10,000 in “In-World Payments,” the documents show, and a feature to tip creators has yielded total payouts of $470.Sheharzad Arshad, a 39-year-old graphic designer in Toronto, has built 18 worlds since January, some inspired by movies he loves. His most popular, “Spider-verse,” has drawn roughly 20,000 visitors since he published it in May.He said the Quest 2 headset’s $399.99 sticker price is too steep for many of his friends and family, limiting the reach.Nonetheless, he said, he intends to purchase the next version of the headset and dig even deeper into the metaverse. “The direction that they’re moving in, it’s really good,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":406,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989827328,"gmtCreate":1665972604464,"gmtModify":1676537685290,"author":{"id":"4114039699852602","authorId":"4114039699852602","name":"Don 007","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cf8491b1bcaf8eb7027783be64d82761","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4114039699852602","authorIdStr":"4114039699852602"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ark is an bad example","listText":"Ark is an bad example","text":"Ark is an bad example","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9989827328","repostId":"2276892975","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2276892975","pubTimestamp":1665967556,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2276892975?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-17 08:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ark's Cathie Wood Continues to Stumble","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2276892975","media":"TheStreet","summary":"It’s been a rough 2022 for famed money manager Cathie Wood, chief executive of Ark Investment Manage","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It’s been a rough 2022 for famed money manager Cathie Wood, chief executive of Ark Investment Management, as her exchange-traded funds sink.</p><p>Wood’s flagship fund, Ark Innovation ETF  (<b>ARKK</b>) , plunged 64% year to date through Oct. 14, hitting a five-year low.

She is clearly intelligent and articulate, explaining financial concepts in ways that novice investors can understand.Still, Wood has drawn detractors. On March 29, Morningstar analyst Robby Greengold issued a scathing critique of Ark Innovation.“ARKK shows few signs of improving its risk management or ability to successfully navigate the challenging territory it explores,” he wrote.Wood countered Greengold’s points in an interview with Magnifi Media by Tifin. “I do know there are companies like that one [Morningstar] that do not understand what we're doing,” she said.If Wood’s investment performance rebounds, her true believers will say, “I told you so.” If it doesn’t, it will be interesting to see how long investors are willing to stick with her.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989825747,"gmtCreate":1665972498889,"gmtModify":1676537685219,"author":{"id":"4114039699852602","authorId":"4114039699852602","name":"Don 007","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cf8491b1bcaf8eb7027783be64d82761","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4114039699852602","authorIdStr":"4114039699852602"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wait for the price to 38.5","listText":"Wait for the price to 38.5","text":"Wait for the price to 38.5","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9989825747","repostId":"2275924772","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2275924772","pubTimestamp":1665970406,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2275924772?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-17 09:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is AMD Stock a Buy After Its Latest Plunge?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2275924772","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Should investors start buying this chipmaker after its latest plunge?","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>&#39; (AMD) year went from bad to worse after the company released preliminary results for the third quarter of 2022 on Oct. 6.

Today, Amazon is one of the world&#39;s largest companies, which means that 2000 was a wonderful time to buy shares.</p><p>Sound familiar? Just over two decades later, the stock market is again in a tumultuous spot. Growth stocks are again taking it on the chin, including <b>Palantir Technologies</b>, <b>Zscaler</b>, and <b>Spotify Technology</b>, down 75%, 58%, and 74% from their respective highs. Despite these steep declines, each stock could make a strong comeback and reward long-term investors. Here is what you need to know.</p><h2>Building a new world on top of data</h2><p><b>Justin Pope (Palantir Technologies): </b>Almost everything you do in life today creates a digital record, and understanding and leveraging this data better than others can drive success in both public and private organizations. Palantir makes custom software solutions for its customers using its proprietary platforms: Gotham specializes in government applications, and Foundry in commercial projects. For example, Palantir helped determine which areas needed the most assistance during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 using GPS data, photos, damage reports, and census/demographics records.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s relationship with the government remains strong today. It works with various departments, announcing new contracts from the Army and Department of Homeland Security totaling over $200 million just in the past couple of months. This close relationship also makes Palantir reliant on the government, which accounted for 57% of revenue over the first six months of 2022. Palantir must grow its private sector business, and it&#39;s doing that -- U.S. commercial revenue grew 120% year over year in the second quarter of this year.</p><p>The company is now doing more than $1.7 billion in revenue and converting 15% of that into free cash flow. Palantir uses stock-based compensation to pay its employees, which is a non-cash expense. So while cash profits are positive, the bottom line (net income) is negative $539 million over the past four quarters. Positive free cash flow adds to a balance sheet with $2.4 billion in cash against zero debt. Investors will want to see net income trend toward a positive figure; look for revenue to grow faster than stock-based compensation over the coming years.</p><p>This bear market has hammered Palantir&#39;s valuation. The stock&#39;s price-to-sales ratio (P/S) was more than 40 last year but has fallen to just 9. The company&#39;s long relationship with the U.S. government and strong commercial growth underlines the value Palantir&#39;s platform creates. The company still has just 304 customers, so there&#39;s plenty of room for long-term growth. Palantir could eventually be a very large and influential company if data continues to become a critical asset for organizations worldwide. In that case, investors might look back on 2022 fondly as an opportunity to buy low.</p><h2>The zero-trust company that deserves your full confidence</h2><p><b>Will Healy</b> <b>(Zscaler): </b>The rise of the cloud changed the nature of cybersecurity. Previous models built trust via IP addresses. However, with increasing numbers of devices and more interactions, securing networks from continuously changing locations demands a different solution.</p><p>Hence, companies increasingly turn to zero-trust security solutions like the ones offered by Zscaler. Zero-trust treats every user as a threat and uses &#34;context-based identity&#34; (job responsibilities, location, etc.) and policy enforcement to determine access. Also, since users access resources and apps rather than networks, Zscaler&#39;s software can prevent and mitigate security breaches.</p><p>Zscaler also stands out by operating as an edge computing solution. With 150 data centers worldwide, it reduces the lag time for clients. Its approach led to <b>Gartner</b> naming it a leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge. Additionally, it claims almost 2,100 customers with over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue, including 40% of the Fortune 500.</p><p>Those numbers should continue to increase. Allied Market Research predicts the industry will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 19% through 2031, taking the market size to $126 billion. Thus, it may pleasantly surprise investors that in fiscal 2022 (which ended July 31), Zscaler generated $1.1 billion in revenue, rising 61% year over year. Due to the constant need for cybersecurity, recession threats are unlikely to slow company growth significantly, keeping revenue growth at an elevated level.</p><p>Moreover, Zscaler turned a non-GAAP profit for fiscal 2022 of $101 million, rising 34%. The rapid increases in costs and expenses, foreign currency losses, and revaluations of derivative investments reduced earnings.</p><p>Those fast-rising costs and expenses may also have caught Zscaler up in the bear market. The cybersecurity stock now sells at about a 60% discount to its all-time high in November. Additionally, given the current bear market, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 19 may seem intolerably high.</p><p>However, those challenges should not alter the likely growth in the zero-trust security industry. Given its competitive advantages and rapid revenue growth, Zscaler looks like a screaming buy despite its elevated valuation.</p><h2>By one measure, Spotify stock has never been cheaper</h2><p><b>Jake Lerch (Spotify Technology):</b> Like many so-called &#34;stay-at-home&#34; stocks, Spotify shares skyrocketed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you&#39;d invested $10,000 in Spotify stock in March 2020, it would have grown to more than $23,000 in March 2021. However, the last 18 months have not been kind to Spotify.</p><p>And while the damage to its stock price is undeniable, the company&#39;s fundamentals remain untouched. In fact, they&#39;ve improved.</p><p>User growth is accelerating. In its most recent quarter (the three months ending on June 30, 2022), Spotify reported 433 monthly active users -- 5 million more than the company had projected.</p><p>Both premium (i.e., subscription) and ad-supported revenue have surged. Premium revenue increased 22% year over year to 2.5 billion euros, while ad-supported revenue jumped 31% to 360 million euros. Spotify&#39;s ad-supported revenue now stands at 13% of overall revenue, the highest percentage in the company&#39;s history.</p><p>Meanwhile, Spotify&#39;s valuation looks more sensible than ever. Its current price-to-sales ratio of 1.3 is an all-time low for the company -- and far below its lifetime average of 4.3. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b50e539ea1408691dce3de63e16de6fb\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1253\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>SPOT PS Ratio data by YCharts</span></p><p>Of course, broader economic conditions are not great.

While its financial performances are partly to blame (although quite healthy in my view), its stock price movements have been largely dominated by news events, such as the uncertainty in the Chinese regulatory environment, the lingering COVID-19 concerns, and the China-U.S. tension. To cite a few recent examples (shown in the chart below),</p><ul><li>On May 26, after reporting its March quarter results, its stock price climbed 14.8% in one day. And shortly afterward, on June 8, the Chinese government announced the approval of a new round of video game licenses, and its stock prices increased by another 14.7%.</li><li>Then in July, it was fined by antitrust regulators for the improper reporting of previous merger deals. In particular, on July 11, its stock declined by 9.2% even though the fine amounted to only $373k.</li><li>On July 29, it was added back to the U.S. SEC&#39;s watchlist of Chinese companies that might be delisted. The news triggered an 11% decline in its stock price to close at $89 from $100 the day before.</li><li>Then finally on August 4, 2022, when it reported its June Quarter earnings, the stock prices fluctuated between a low of $95 and a high of $103 in a single day, translating into an 8.4% daily fluctuation.</li></ul><p>I am citing all these detailed events and price movements to give you a concrete feeling of its price volatility so that you can see the main thesis of this article: the mispricing of its implied volatility (&#34;IV&#34;) in the options market.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8286a0926eebed47581d1a351970528\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"424\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Yahoo! data</span></p><p>The mispricing probably is best illustrated by comparison against its U.S. counterpart: Amazon (AMZN). The price movements of AMZN in the past 6 months are shown in the bottom panel of the above chart. In contrast to BABA&#39;s frequent ~10% DAILY price volatilities, AMZN stock price has been largely range-bound between $140 and $105, translating into a fluctuation of around 16% around a mean price of $122.5 over the past few MONTHS. Yet, as you will see in a later section, the options market currently assigns an IV of about 61% for BABA for its Dec 16, 2022, option. And the IV it assigns for AMZN is about the same (a bit below 60%), accentuating the IV mispricing.</p><p>Looking forward, BABA is expected to report earnings on 11/17/2022 according to Nasdaq&#39;s schedule. Considering the IV mispricing, an option with expiry after that (say Dec 16, 2022) could either help to hedge your existing positions or to open a new position. Directly holding the shares can help you to benefit from its compressed valuation (as to be detailed in the next section immediately below). But an option play can help you to benefit from the compression in its valuation AND also the IV mispricing.</p><h2>Business outlook and growth potential</h2><p>Admittedly, BABA&#39;s earning results have been a bit choppy lately. However, in its upcoming earnings report for the September 2022 quarter, I expected a number of promising growth avenues. These catalysts should support healthy earnings growth, especially in the near- to mid-term, say in the 2025-2027 timeframe. First, I expect the Chinese economy to recover considerably once COVID-19 concerns clear up. Second, BABA is still very successful at attracting new annual active customers from the vast population of China, especially from the less developed areas. Notably, Tmall and Taobao continue to perform well. Third, on the international stage, platforms such as Lazada and AliExpress logged solid double-digit order growth rates in fiscal 2021, and I foresee such growth to continue or even accelerate in the next few years. Finally, on top of all these, its cloud segment continues to capture market share within the burgeoning global cloud niche. All told, consensus estimates project an 11.5% EPS expansion in the next five years, as you can see from the first chart below. And I tend to agree with such a projection.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac8e0cf709dcbba649e38293b6c7f3a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"238\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>In the meantime, its financial position is strong. The balance sheet is in good condition, as seen in the next chart below, providing the liquidity and financial flexibility to fuel its continued expansion. Alibaba ended the last quarter with more than $69 billion in cash as seen.

While its financial performances are partly to blame (although quite healthy in my view), its stock price movements have been largely dominated by news events, such as the uncertainty in the Chinese regulatory environment, the lingering COVID-19 concerns, and the China-U.S. tension. To cite a few recent examples (shown in the chart below),On May 26, after reporting its March quarter results, its stock price climbed 14.8% in one day. And shortly afterward, on June 8, the Chinese government announced the approval of a new round of video game licenses, and its stock prices increased by another 14.7%.Then in July, it was fined by antitrust regulators for the improper reporting of previous merger deals. In particular, on July 11, its stock declined by 9.2% even though the fine amounted to only $373k.On July 29, it was added back to the U.S. SEC's watchlist of Chinese companies that might be delisted. The news triggered an 11% decline in its stock price to close at $89 from $100 the day before.Then finally on August 4, 2022, when it reported its June Quarter earnings, the stock prices fluctuated between a low of $95 and a high of $103 in a single day, translating into an 8.4% daily fluctuation.I am citing all these detailed events and price movements to give you a concrete feeling of its price volatility so that you can see the main thesis of this article: the mispricing of its implied volatility (\"IV\") in the options market.Author based on Yahoo! dataThe mispricing probably is best illustrated by comparison against its U.S. counterpart: Amazon (AMZN). The price movements of AMZN in the past 6 months are shown in the bottom panel of the above chart. In contrast to BABA's frequent ~10% DAILY price volatilities, AMZN stock price has been largely range-bound between $140 and $105, translating into a fluctuation of around 16% around a mean price of $122.5 over the past few MONTHS. Yet, as you will see in a later section, the options market currently assigns an IV of about 61% for BABA for its Dec 16, 2022, option. And the IV it assigns for AMZN is about the same (a bit below 60%), accentuating the IV mispricing.Looking forward, BABA is expected to report earnings on 11/17/2022 according to Nasdaq's schedule. Considering the IV mispricing, an option with expiry after that (say Dec 16, 2022) could either help to hedge your existing positions or to open a new position. Directly holding the shares can help you to benefit from its compressed valuation (as to be detailed in the next section immediately below). But an option play can help you to benefit from the compression in its valuation AND also the IV mispricing.Business outlook and growth potentialAdmittedly, BABA's earning results have been a bit choppy lately. However, in its upcoming earnings report for the September 2022 quarter, I expected a number of promising growth avenues. These catalysts should support healthy earnings growth, especially in the near- to mid-term, say in the 2025-2027 timeframe. First, I expect the Chinese economy to recover considerably once COVID-19 concerns clear up. Second, BABA is still very successful at attracting new annual active customers from the vast population of China, especially from the less developed areas. Notably, Tmall and Taobao continue to perform well. Third, on the international stage, platforms such as Lazada and AliExpress logged solid double-digit order growth rates in fiscal 2021, and I foresee such growth to continue or even accelerate in the next few years. Finally, on top of all these, its cloud segment continues to capture market share within the burgeoning global cloud niche. All told, consensus estimates project an 11.5% EPS expansion in the next five years, as you can see from the first chart below. And I tend to agree with such a projection.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataIn the meantime, its financial position is strong. The balance sheet is in good condition, as seen in the next chart below, providing the liquidity and financial flexibility to fuel its continued expansion. Alibaba ended the last quarter with more than $69 billion in cash as seen. In addition, merely 13.4% of the capital structure is comprised of long-term debt (compared to AMZN's 45.4%), suggesting plenty of flexibility to support growth initiatives.Although, note that the table below made a mistake on its cash per share (probably due to confusion about its share count vs its ADR counts).

While its financial performances are partly to blame (although quite healthy in my view), its stock price movements have been largely dominated by news events, such as the uncertainty in the Chinese regulatory environment, the lingering COVID-19 concerns, and the China-U.S. tension. To cite a few recent examples (shown in the chart below),On May 26, after reporting its March quarter results, its stock price climbed 14.8% in one day. And shortly afterward, on June 8, the Chinese government announced the approval of a new round of video game licenses, and its stock prices increased by another 14.7%.Then in July, it was fined by antitrust regulators for the improper reporting of previous merger deals. In particular, on July 11, its stock declined by 9.2% even though the fine amounted to only $373k.On July 29, it was added back to the U.S. SEC's watchlist of Chinese companies that might be delisted. The news triggered an 11% decline in its stock price to close at $89 from $100 the day before.Then finally on August 4, 2022, when it reported its June Quarter earnings, the stock prices fluctuated between a low of $95 and a high of $103 in a single day, translating into an 8.4% daily fluctuation.I am citing all these detailed events and price movements to give you a concrete feeling of its price volatility so that you can see the main thesis of this article: the mispricing of its implied volatility (\"IV\") in the options market.Author based on Yahoo! dataThe mispricing probably is best illustrated by comparison against its U.S. counterpart: Amazon (AMZN). The price movements of AMZN in the past 6 months are shown in the bottom panel of the above chart. In contrast to BABA's frequent ~10% DAILY price volatilities, AMZN stock price has been largely range-bound between $140 and $105, translating into a fluctuation of around 16% around a mean price of $122.5 over the past few MONTHS. Yet, as you will see in a later section, the options market currently assigns an IV of about 61% for BABA for its Dec 16, 2022, option. And the IV it assigns for AMZN is about the same (a bit below 60%), accentuating the IV mispricing.Looking forward, BABA is expected to report earnings on 11/17/2022 according to Nasdaq's schedule. Considering the IV mispricing, an option with expiry after that (say Dec 16, 2022) could either help to hedge your existing positions or to open a new position. Directly holding the shares can help you to benefit from its compressed valuation (as to be detailed in the next section immediately below). But an option play can help you to benefit from the compression in its valuation AND also the IV mispricing.Business outlook and growth potentialAdmittedly, BABA's earning results have been a bit choppy lately. However, in its upcoming earnings report for the September 2022 quarter, I expected a number of promising growth avenues. These catalysts should support healthy earnings growth, especially in the near- to mid-term, say in the 2025-2027 timeframe. First, I expect the Chinese economy to recover considerably once COVID-19 concerns clear up. Second, BABA is still very successful at attracting new annual active customers from the vast population of China, especially from the less developed areas. Notably, Tmall and Taobao continue to perform well. Third, on the international stage, platforms such as Lazada and AliExpress logged solid double-digit order growth rates in fiscal 2021, and I foresee such growth to continue or even accelerate in the next few years. Finally, on top of all these, its cloud segment continues to capture market share within the burgeoning global cloud niche. All told, consensus estimates project an 11.5% EPS expansion in the next five years, as you can see from the first chart below. And I tend to agree with such a projection.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataIn the meantime, its financial position is strong. The balance sheet is in good condition, as seen in the next chart below, providing the liquidity and financial flexibility to fuel its continued expansion. Alibaba ended the last quarter with more than $69 billion in cash as seen. In addition, merely 13.4% of the capital structure is comprised of long-term debt (compared to AMZN's 45.4%), suggesting plenty of flexibility to support growth initiatives.Although, note that the table below made a mistake on its cash per share (probably due to confusion about its share count vs its ADR counts). With $69 billion of cash and approximately 2.6 billion ADR outstanding, the total cash per share should be about $26.5. At its current stock price of $75 as of this writing, more than 1/3 of its stock price (35.4% to be exact) is just cash.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataVolatility mispricing and option playAs mentioned above, holding the shares directly is a bet on its compressed valuation and growth potential. And an option play can provide a couple of additional advantages, as detailed in my other articles. To recap,First, compared to the buy-and-hold strategy, an option can limit your exposure in terms of the total dollar amount.Second, it can take advantage of both the valuation mispricing AND also volatility mispricing (the buy-and-hold strategy only benefit from the former).Third, it provides a definitive expiration date.As an example, as of this writing, a BABA call option with a $75 strike price (i.e., near the money) that expires on 12/16/2022 sells at about $7.8 as you can see from the first chart below provided by OIC. So $780 would provide exposure to 100 shares, versus $7.5k if you directly own the shares.You can also see the implied volatility is only 60.8%. Again, to me, this is an underestimate. As you can see from the second chart below, its IV has ranged from about 50% to about 100% in the past 6 months. And the current IV of 60% is close to the floor of this range. Yet, as argued earlier, recent events and price movements suggest no muting in its actual volatility. Also, as you can see from the third chart below, AMZN's current IV is close to 60% too (about 56%). However, as aforementioned, the DAILY price actions in BABA shares are nearly on the same magnitude as AMZN's monthly price fluctuations.oic.ivolatility.comBABA historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.comAMZN historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.comBaba risks and final thoughtsSince an option play, in a sense, is a way to limit risks already, I won't detail the specific risks surrounding BABA shares. Other SA authors have elaborated on the risks eloquently already anyway. Here, let me just repeat the risks inherent in writing options:Writing options can limit risks in terms of the absolute dollar amount. But it is riskier in relative terms. You can lose 100% and there is actually a good chance of that.To conclude, the main thesis here is built on an observation that I've made about BABA's implied volatility being mispriced. Yes, it is definitely attractive to own the shares directly in my mind (which I do) under current conditions. The stock is priced at single-digit FWD PE with double-digit growth rates. And it has about $26.5 of cash per ADR on its ledger, more than 1/3 of its stock current price. But an option play could bring an additional catalyst to the table. The upcoming earnings report in November could amplify the mispricing, judging by the recent historical pattern of its price movements around earnings reports.This article is written by Sensor Unlimited for reference only.

But the anticipated demand hasn't materialized, and Apple is reversing course, according to the report.The higher-priced iPhone 14 Pro models are reportedlyseeing more demandthan the lower-priced phones, and at least one supplier is shifting capacity toward the premium models in response.Apple has confirmed it was moving iPhone productioninto India as it diversified away from China.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937472084,"gmtCreate":1663493518648,"gmtModify":1676537279105,"author":{"id":"4114039699852602","authorId":"4114039699852602","name":"Don 007","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cf8491b1bcaf8eb7027783be64d82761","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4114039699852602","authorIdStr":"4114039699852602"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wait for good entry price","listText":"Wait for good entry price","text":"Wait for good entry price","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937472084","repostId":"1178217025","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178217025","pubTimestamp":1663469307,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178217025?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-18 10:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Got $5,000?

They&#39;re solid candidates if you have $5,000 to spend -- and even if you have $1,000 or $50,000 to spend.</p><h2><b>1. Meta Platforms</b></h2><p><b>Meta Platforms</b> is the company you might know as Facebook, but it changed its name in 2021 to reflect the scope of its operations and ambitions beyond its original social media platform. Its social media operations are rather enormous, though, with nearly 3 billion monthly active users and nearly 2 billion daily active users for Facebook alone.

The company is also chasing additional profits from expanded e-commerce operations, greater use of artificial intelligence for driving content recommendations, and its answer to TikTok videos -- reels.</p><p>So why might Meta Platforms be a value stock? Well, its recent performances have disappointed investors, and their responses to its results, along with the overall market downturn, have sent its shares down by nearly 60% from their 52-week high. Now, they trade at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 14, well below their five-year average of 27. This could be a great buying opportunity for long-term believers in Mark Zuckerberg and his business.</p><h2><b>2. ServiceNow</b></h2><p><b>ServiceNow</b>, has a market cap of more than $90 billion, but its shares have fallen this year to about 36% below their 52-week high. The software-as-a-service company describes itself like this: &#34;Our cloud‑based platform and solutions help digitize and unify organizations so that they can find smarter, faster, better ways to make work flow&#34; and so &#34;employees and customers can be more connected, more innovative, and more agile.&#34;</p><p>Its second quarter featured subscription revenue of $1.7 billion, up 25% year over year, and total revenue of $1.8 billion, up 24%. Subscription income can be a big plus for a business, as it tends to keep recurring regularly, making it easier for management to plan. The company also noted: &#34;ServiceNow continues to expand its global footprint with more than 100 customers now paying over $10 million in annual contract value in Q2 2022, up more than 50% year‑over‑year.&#34;</p><p>Clearly, this is an attractive business -- and it&#39;s trading at attractive levels, too, with a recent forward-price-to-earnings ratio of 52, well below its five-year average of 80.</p><h2><b>3. ASML Holding</b></h2><p>Netherlands-based <b>ASML Holding</b> is, in its own words, &#34;a leading supplier to the semiconductor industry. The company provides chipmakers with hardware, software and services to mass produce the patterns of integrated circuits (microchips). Together with its partners, ASML drives the advancement of more affordable, more powerful, more energy-efficient microchips.&#34; Its market cap recently was near $185 billion, and it employs some 35,000 people.</p><p>The company&#39;s second-quarter report was a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it booked a record level of new orders and the company&#39;s backlog of orders stands at around 33 billion euros -- reflecting great demand for its products. On the other hand, the company (like many others) is being pressured by supply chain issues and inflation. In response, management has reduced its expectations for revenue growth and profitability.</p><p>Its shares, meanwhile, were recently down some 47% from their 52-week high. Yes, it&#39;s facing some headwinds, but these headwinds are not likely to last forever. The stock&#39;s recent price-to-cash-flow ratio was recently 20, well below its five-year average of 37, suggesting undervaluation. At this level, it should draw the attention of investors.</p><p>These are just a few of the many compellingly valued stocks out there now, and plenty of these businesses have been growing at a rapid clip, too.

While its financial performances are partly to blame (although quite healthy in my view), its stock price movements have been largely dominated by news events, such as the uncertainty in the Chinese regulatory environment, the lingering COVID-19 concerns, and the China-U.S. tension. To cite a few recent examples (shown in the chart below),</p><ul><li>On May 26, after reporting its March quarter results, its stock price climbed 14.8% in one day. And shortly afterward, on June 8, the Chinese government announced the approval of a new round of video game licenses, and its stock prices increased by another 14.7%.</li><li>Then in July, it was fined by antitrust regulators for the improper reporting of previous merger deals. In particular, on July 11, its stock declined by 9.2% even though the fine amounted to only $373k.</li><li>On July 29, it was added back to the U.S. SEC&#39;s watchlist of Chinese companies that might be delisted. The news triggered an 11% decline in its stock price to close at $89 from $100 the day before.</li><li>Then finally on August 4, 2022, when it reported its June Quarter earnings, the stock prices fluctuated between a low of $95 and a high of $103 in a single day, translating into an 8.4% daily fluctuation.</li></ul><p>I am citing all these detailed events and price movements to give you a concrete feeling of its price volatility so that you can see the main thesis of this article: the mispricing of its implied volatility (&#34;IV&#34;) in the options market.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8286a0926eebed47581d1a351970528\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"424\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Yahoo! data</span></p><p>The mispricing probably is best illustrated by comparison against its U.S. counterpart: Amazon (AMZN). The price movements of AMZN in the past 6 months are shown in the bottom panel of the above chart. In contrast to BABA&#39;s frequent ~10% DAILY price volatilities, AMZN stock price has been largely range-bound between $140 and $105, translating into a fluctuation of around 16% around a mean price of $122.5 over the past few MONTHS. Yet, as you will see in a later section, the options market currently assigns an IV of about 61% for BABA for its Dec 16, 2022, option. And the IV it assigns for AMZN is about the same (a bit below 60%), accentuating the IV mispricing.</p><p>Looking forward, BABA is expected to report earnings on 11/17/2022 according to Nasdaq&#39;s schedule. Considering the IV mispricing, an option with expiry after that (say Dec 16, 2022) could either help to hedge your existing positions or to open a new position. Directly holding the shares can help you to benefit from its compressed valuation (as to be detailed in the next section immediately below). But an option play can help you to benefit from the compression in its valuation AND also the IV mispricing.</p><h2>Business outlook and growth potential</h2><p>Admittedly, BABA&#39;s earning results have been a bit choppy lately. However, in its upcoming earnings report for the September 2022 quarter, I expected a number of promising growth avenues. These catalysts should support healthy earnings growth, especially in the near- to mid-term, say in the 2025-2027 timeframe. First, I expect the Chinese economy to recover considerably once COVID-19 concerns clear up. Second, BABA is still very successful at attracting new annual active customers from the vast population of China, especially from the less developed areas. Notably, Tmall and Taobao continue to perform well. Third, on the international stage, platforms such as Lazada and AliExpress logged solid double-digit order growth rates in fiscal 2021, and I foresee such growth to continue or even accelerate in the next few years. Finally, on top of all these, its cloud segment continues to capture market share within the burgeoning global cloud niche. All told, consensus estimates project an 11.5% EPS expansion in the next five years, as you can see from the first chart below. And I tend to agree with such a projection.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac8e0cf709dcbba649e38293b6c7f3a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"238\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>In the meantime, its financial position is strong. The balance sheet is in good condition, as seen in the next chart below, providing the liquidity and financial flexibility to fuel its continued expansion. Alibaba ended the last quarter with more than $69 billion in cash as seen. In addition, merely 13.4% of the capital structure is comprised of long-term debt (compared to AMZN&#39;s 45.4%), suggesting plenty of flexibility to support growth initiatives.</p><p>Although, note that the table below made a mistake on its cash per share (probably due to confusion about its share count vs its ADR counts). With $69 billion of cash and approximately 2.6 billion ADR outstanding, the total cash per share should be about $26.5. At its current stock price of $75 as of this writing, more than 1/3 of its stock price (35.4% to be exact) is just cash.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fcf65098fee073a34c3bc89c3f81d3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"348\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><h2>Volatility mispricing and option play</h2><p>As mentioned above, holding the shares directly is a bet on its compressed valuation and growth potential. And an option play can provide a couple of additional advantages, as detailed in my other articles. To recap,</p><blockquote><ul><li><i>First, compared to the buy-and-hold strategy, an option can limit your exposure in terms of the total dollar amount.</i></li><li><i>Second, it can take advantage of both the valuation mispricing AND also volatility mispricing (the buy-and-hold strategy only benefit from the former).</i></li><li><i>Third, it provides a definitive expiration date.</i></li></ul></blockquote><p>As an example, as of this writing, a BABA call option with a $75 strike price (i.e., near the money) that expires on 12/16/2022 sells at about $7.8 as you can see from the first chart below provided by OIC. So $780 would provide exposure to 100 shares, versus $7.5k if you directly own the shares.</p><p>You can also see the implied volatility is only 60.8%. Again, to me, this is an underestimate. As you can see from the second chart below, its IV has ranged from about 50% to about 100% in the past 6 months. And the current IV of 60% is close to the floor of this range. Yet, as argued earlier, recent events and price movements suggest no muting in its actual volatility. Also, as you can see from the third chart below, AMZN&#39;s current IV is close to 60% too (about 56%). However, as aforementioned, the DAILY price actions in BABA shares are nearly on the same magnitude as AMZN&#39;s <i>monthly</i> price fluctuations.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10ec73e15ba94f68c0e834fa09585379\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>oic.ivolatility.com</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c3f80465a4333814ee01ef3f76d585e\" tg-width=\"520\" tg-height=\"250\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>BABA historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.com</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08c9f56d1ece63e4bfd5535e64d93b24\" tg-width=\"520\" tg-height=\"250\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AMZN historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.com</span></p><h2>Baba risks and final thoughts</h2><p>Since an option play, in a sense, is a way to limit risks already, I won&#39;t detail the specific risks surrounding BABA shares. Other SA authors have elaborated on the risks eloquently already anyway. Here, let me just repeat the risks inherent in writing options:</p><blockquote><i>Writing options can limit risks in terms of the absolute dollar amount. But it is riskier in relative terms. You can lose 100% and there is actually a good chance of that.</i></blockquote><p>To conclude, the main thesis here is built on an observation that I&#39;ve made about BABA&#39;s implied volatility being mispriced. Yes, it is definitely attractive to own the shares directly in my mind (which I do) under current conditions. The stock is priced at single-digit FWD PE with double-digit growth rates.

While its financial performances are partly to blame (although quite healthy in my view), its stock price movements have been largely dominated by news events, such as the uncertainty in the Chinese regulatory environment, the lingering COVID-19 concerns, and the China-U.S. tension. To cite a few recent examples (shown in the chart below),On May 26, after reporting its March quarter results, its stock price climbed 14.8% in one day. And shortly afterward, on June 8, the Chinese government announced the approval of a new round of video game licenses, and its stock prices increased by another 14.7%.Then in July, it was fined by antitrust regulators for the improper reporting of previous merger deals. In particular, on July 11, its stock declined by 9.2% even though the fine amounted to only $373k.On July 29, it was added back to the U.S. SEC's watchlist of Chinese companies that might be delisted. The news triggered an 11% decline in its stock price to close at $89 from $100 the day before.Then finally on August 4, 2022, when it reported its June Quarter earnings, the stock prices fluctuated between a low of $95 and a high of $103 in a single day, translating into an 8.4% daily fluctuation.I am citing all these detailed events and price movements to give you a concrete feeling of its price volatility so that you can see the main thesis of this article: the mispricing of its implied volatility (\"IV\") in the options market.Author based on Yahoo! dataThe mispricing probably is best illustrated by comparison against its U.S. counterpart: Amazon (AMZN). The price movements of AMZN in the past 6 months are shown in the bottom panel of the above chart. In contrast to BABA's frequent ~10% DAILY price volatilities, AMZN stock price has been largely range-bound between $140 and $105, translating into a fluctuation of around 16% around a mean price of $122.5 over the past few MONTHS. Yet, as you will see in a later section, the options market currently assigns an IV of about 61% for BABA for its Dec 16, 2022, option. And the IV it assigns for AMZN is about the same (a bit below 60%), accentuating the IV mispricing.Looking forward, BABA is expected to report earnings on 11/17/2022 according to Nasdaq's schedule. Considering the IV mispricing, an option with expiry after that (say Dec 16, 2022) could either help to hedge your existing positions or to open a new position. Directly holding the shares can help you to benefit from its compressed valuation (as to be detailed in the next section immediately below). But an option play can help you to benefit from the compression in its valuation AND also the IV mispricing.Business outlook and growth potentialAdmittedly, BABA's earning results have been a bit choppy lately. However, in its upcoming earnings report for the September 2022 quarter, I expected a number of promising growth avenues. These catalysts should support healthy earnings growth, especially in the near- to mid-term, say in the 2025-2027 timeframe. First, I expect the Chinese economy to recover considerably once COVID-19 concerns clear up. Second, BABA is still very successful at attracting new annual active customers from the vast population of China, especially from the less developed areas. Notably, Tmall and Taobao continue to perform well. Third, on the international stage, platforms such as Lazada and AliExpress logged solid double-digit order growth rates in fiscal 2021, and I foresee such growth to continue or even accelerate in the next few years. Finally, on top of all these, its cloud segment continues to capture market share within the burgeoning global cloud niche. All told, consensus estimates project an 11.5% EPS expansion in the next five years, as you can see from the first chart below. And I tend to agree with such a projection.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataIn the meantime, its financial position is strong. The balance sheet is in good condition, as seen in the next chart below, providing the liquidity and financial flexibility to fuel its continued expansion. Alibaba ended the last quarter with more than $69 billion in cash as seen. In addition, merely 13.4% of the capital structure is comprised of long-term debt (compared to AMZN's 45.4%), suggesting plenty of flexibility to support growth initiatives.Although, note that the table below made a mistake on its cash per share (probably due to confusion about its share count vs its ADR counts). With $69 billion of cash and approximately 2.6 billion ADR outstanding, the total cash per share should be about $26.5. At its current stock price of $75 as of this writing, more than 1/3 of its stock price (35.4% to be exact) is just cash.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataVolatility mispricing and option playAs mentioned above, holding the shares directly is a bet on its compressed valuation and growth potential. And an option play can provide a couple of additional advantages, as detailed in my other articles. To recap,First, compared to the buy-and-hold strategy, an option can limit your exposure in terms of the total dollar amount.Second, it can take advantage of both the valuation mispricing AND also volatility mispricing (the buy-and-hold strategy only benefit from the former).Third, it provides a definitive expiration date.As an example, as of this writing, a BABA call option with a $75 strike price (i.e., near the money) that expires on 12/16/2022 sells at about $7.8 as you can see from the first chart below provided by OIC. So $780 would provide exposure to 100 shares, versus $7.5k if you directly own the shares.You can also see the implied volatility is only 60.8%. Again, to me, this is an underestimate. As you can see from the second chart below, its IV has ranged from about 50% to about 100% in the past 6 months. And the current IV of 60% is close to the floor of this range. Yet, as argued earlier, recent events and price movements suggest no muting in its actual volatility. Also, as you can see from the third chart below, AMZN's current IV is close to 60% too (about 56%). However, as aforementioned, the DAILY price actions in BABA shares are nearly on the same magnitude as AMZN's monthly price fluctuations.oic.ivolatility.comBABA historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.comAMZN historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.comBaba risks and final thoughtsSince an option play, in a sense, is a way to limit risks already, I won't detail the specific risks surrounding BABA shares. Other SA authors have elaborated on the risks eloquently already anyway. Here, let me just repeat the risks inherent in writing options:Writing options can limit risks in terms of the absolute dollar amount. But it is riskier in relative terms. You can lose 100% and there is actually a good chance of that.To conclude, the main thesis here is built on an observation that I've made about BABA's implied volatility being mispriced. Yes, it is definitely attractive to own the shares directly in my mind (which I do) under current conditions. The stock is priced at single-digit FWD PE with double-digit growth rates. And it has about $26.5 of cash per ADR on its ledger, more than 1/3 of its stock current price. But an option play could bring an additional catalyst to the table. The upcoming earnings report in November could amplify the mispricing, judging by the recent historical pattern of its price movements around earnings reports.This article is written by Sensor Unlimited for reference only.

said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group in Omaha, Nebraska. &#34;Investors will look back and realize this was the year the Fed pulled a total 180 on their views on inflation and quickly turned incredibly hawkish.&#34;</p><p>The Federal Reserve has rattled markets by engaging in its most relentless series of interest rate hikes in decades in order to rein in stubbornly high inflation, which has many market participants eyeing key economic data for signs of a looming recession.</p><p>&#34;The realization that the Fed is doing anything they can to combat 40-year-high inflation has investors worried they will push the economy over the edge and into recession,&#34; Detrick added.</p><p>The Commerce Department&#39;s personal consumption expenditures (PCE) report did little to assuage those fears, showing that while consumers continue to spend, the prices they are paying have accelerated, drifting further beyond the Fed&#39;s inflation target and all but ensuring the central bank&#39;s hawkish monetary policy will continue longer than investors had hoped.</p><p>Recession fears also echoed through dire warnings from Nike Inc and cruise operator Carnival Corp, both citing inflation-related margin pressures.</p><p>Shares of the companies tanked by 12.8% and 23.3%, respectively.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 500.1 points, or 1.71%, to 28,725.51; the S&amp;P 500    lost 54.85 points, or 1.51%, to 3,585.62; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 161.89 points, or 1.51%, to 10,575.62.</p><p>Among the 11 major sectors of the S&amp;P 500, real estate was the sole gainer, while utilities tech suffered the largest percentage losses.</p><p>Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, Amazon.com and Nike weighed heaviest.</p><p>Corporate earnings reports for the quarter that ends with Friday&#39;s closing bell will begin landing in a few weeks, and analyst expectations are trending downward.</p><p>Analysts now see annual S&amp;P 500 earnings growth of 4.5%, on aggregate, down from the 11.1% estimate when the quarter began.</p><p>Quarter-end fund reallocations and so-called &#34;window dressing&#34; is likely contributed to the session&#39;s volatility.</p><p>Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.45-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.38-to-1 ratio favored decliners.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 posted no new 52-week highs and 93 new lows;

While its financial performances are partly to blame (although quite healthy in my view), its stock price movements have been largely dominated by news events, such as the uncertainty in the Chinese regulatory environment, the lingering COVID-19 concerns, and the China-U.S. tension. To cite a few recent examples (shown in the chart below),</p><ul><li>On May 26, after reporting its March quarter results, its stock price climbed 14.8% in one day. And shortly afterward, on June 8, the Chinese government announced the approval of a new round of video game licenses, and its stock prices increased by another 14.7%.</li><li>Then in July, it was fined by antitrust regulators for the improper reporting of previous merger deals. In particular, on July 11, its stock declined by 9.2% even though the fine amounted to only $373k.</li><li>On July 29, it was added back to the U.S. SEC&#39;s watchlist of Chinese companies that might be delisted. The news triggered an 11% decline in its stock price to close at $89 from $100 the day before.</li><li>Then finally on August 4, 2022, when it reported its June Quarter earnings, the stock prices fluctuated between a low of $95 and a high of $103 in a single day, translating into an 8.4% daily fluctuation.</li></ul><p>I am citing all these detailed events and price movements to give you a concrete feeling of its price volatility so that you can see the main thesis of this article: the mispricing of its implied volatility (&#34;IV&#34;) in the options market.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8286a0926eebed47581d1a351970528\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"424\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Yahoo! data</span></p><p>The mispricing probably is best illustrated by comparison against its U.S. counterpart: Amazon (AMZN). The price movements of AMZN in the past 6 months are shown in the bottom panel of the above chart. In contrast to BABA&#39;s frequent ~10% DAILY price volatilities, AMZN stock price has been largely range-bound between $140 and $105, translating into a fluctuation of around 16% around a mean price of $122.5 over the past few MONTHS. Yet, as you will see in a later section, the options market currently assigns an IV of about 61% for BABA for its Dec 16, 2022, option. And the IV it assigns for AMZN is about the same (a bit below 60%), accentuating the IV mispricing.</p><p>Looking forward, BABA is expected to report earnings on 11/17/2022 according to Nasdaq&#39;s schedule. Considering the IV mispricing, an option with expiry after that (say Dec 16, 2022) could either help to hedge your existing positions or to open a new position. Directly holding the shares can help you to benefit from its compressed valuation (as to be detailed in the next section immediately below). But an option play can help you to benefit from the compression in its valuation AND also the IV mispricing.</p><h2>Business outlook and growth potential</h2><p>Admittedly, BABA&#39;s earning results have been a bit choppy lately. However, in its upcoming earnings report for the September 2022 quarter, I expected a number of promising growth avenues. These catalysts should support healthy earnings growth, especially in the near- to mid-term, say in the 2025-2027 timeframe. First, I expect the Chinese economy to recover considerably once COVID-19 concerns clear up. Second, BABA is still very successful at attracting new annual active customers from the vast population of China, especially from the less developed areas. Notably, Tmall and Taobao continue to perform well. Third, on the international stage, platforms such as Lazada and AliExpress logged solid double-digit order growth rates in fiscal 2021, and I foresee such growth to continue or even accelerate in the next few years. Finally, on top of all these, its cloud segment continues to capture market share within the burgeoning global cloud niche. All told, consensus estimates project an 11.5% EPS expansion in the next five years, as you can see from the first chart below. And I tend to agree with such a projection.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac8e0cf709dcbba649e38293b6c7f3a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"238\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>In the meantime, its financial position is strong. The balance sheet is in good condition, as seen in the next chart below, providing the liquidity and financial flexibility to fuel its continued expansion. Alibaba ended the last quarter with more than $69 billion in cash as seen. In addition, merely 13.4% of the capital structure is comprised of long-term debt (compared to AMZN&#39;s 45.4%), suggesting plenty of flexibility to support growth initiatives.</p><p>Although, note that the table below made a mistake on its cash per share (probably due to confusion about its share count vs its ADR counts). With $69 billion of cash and approximately 2.6 billion ADR outstanding, the total cash per share should be about $26.5. At its current stock price of $75 as of this writing, more than 1/3 of its stock price (35.4% to be exact) is just cash.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0fcf65098fee073a34c3bc89c3f81d3f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"348\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><h2>Volatility mispricing and option play</h2><p>As mentioned above, holding the shares directly is a bet on its compressed valuation and growth potential. And an option play can provide a couple of additional advantages, as detailed in my other articles. To recap,</p><blockquote><ul><li><i>First, compared to the buy-and-hold strategy, an option can limit your exposure in terms of the total dollar amount.</i></li><li><i>Second, it can take advantage of both the valuation mispricing AND also volatility mispricing (the buy-and-hold strategy only benefit from the former).</i></li><li><i>Third, it provides a definitive expiration date.</i></li></ul></blockquote><p>As an example, as of this writing, a BABA call option with a $75 strike price (i.e., near the money) that expires on 12/16/2022 sells at about $7.8 as you can see from the first chart below provided by OIC. So $780 would provide exposure to 100 shares, versus $7.5k if you directly own the shares.</p><p>You can also see the implied volatility is only 60.8%. Again, to me, this is an underestimate. As you can see from the second chart below, its IV has ranged from about 50% to about 100% in the past 6 months. And the current IV of 60% is close to the floor of this range. Yet, as argued earlier, recent events and price movements suggest no muting in its actual volatility. Also, as you can see from the third chart below, AMZN&#39;s current IV is close to 60% too (about 56%). However, as aforementioned, the DAILY price actions in BABA shares are nearly on the same magnitude as AMZN&#39;s <i>monthly</i> price fluctuations.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10ec73e15ba94f68c0e834fa09585379\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>oic.ivolatility.com</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c3f80465a4333814ee01ef3f76d585e\" tg-width=\"520\" tg-height=\"250\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>BABA historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.com</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08c9f56d1ece63e4bfd5535e64d93b24\" tg-width=\"520\" tg-height=\"250\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AMZN historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.com</span></p><h2>Baba risks and final thoughts</h2><p>Since an option play, in a sense, is a way to limit risks already, I won&#39;t detail the specific risks surrounding BABA shares. Other SA authors have elaborated on the risks eloquently already anyway. Here, let me just repeat the risks inherent in writing options:</p><blockquote><i>Writing options can limit risks in terms of the absolute dollar amount. But it is riskier in relative terms. You can lose 100% and there is actually a good chance of that.</i></blockquote><p>To conclude, the main thesis here is built on an observation that I&#39;ve made about BABA&#39;s implied volatility being mispriced. Yes, it is definitely attractive to own the shares directly in my mind (which I do) under current conditions. The stock is priced at single-digit FWD PE with double-digit growth rates.

While its financial performances are partly to blame (although quite healthy in my view), its stock price movements have been largely dominated by news events, such as the uncertainty in the Chinese regulatory environment, the lingering COVID-19 concerns, and the China-U.S. tension. To cite a few recent examples (shown in the chart below),On May 26, after reporting its March quarter results, its stock price climbed 14.8% in one day. And shortly afterward, on June 8, the Chinese government announced the approval of a new round of video game licenses, and its stock prices increased by another 14.7%.Then in July, it was fined by antitrust regulators for the improper reporting of previous merger deals. In particular, on July 11, its stock declined by 9.2% even though the fine amounted to only $373k.On July 29, it was added back to the U.S. SEC's watchlist of Chinese companies that might be delisted. The news triggered an 11% decline in its stock price to close at $89 from $100 the day before.Then finally on August 4, 2022, when it reported its June Quarter earnings, the stock prices fluctuated between a low of $95 and a high of $103 in a single day, translating into an 8.4% daily fluctuation.I am citing all these detailed events and price movements to give you a concrete feeling of its price volatility so that you can see the main thesis of this article: the mispricing of its implied volatility (\"IV\") in the options market.Author based on Yahoo! dataThe mispricing probably is best illustrated by comparison against its U.S. counterpart: Amazon (AMZN). The price movements of AMZN in the past 6 months are shown in the bottom panel of the above chart. In contrast to BABA's frequent ~10% DAILY price volatilities, AMZN stock price has been largely range-bound between $140 and $105, translating into a fluctuation of around 16% around a mean price of $122.5 over the past few MONTHS. Yet, as you will see in a later section, the options market currently assigns an IV of about 61% for BABA for its Dec 16, 2022, option. And the IV it assigns for AMZN is about the same (a bit below 60%), accentuating the IV mispricing.Looking forward, BABA is expected to report earnings on 11/17/2022 according to Nasdaq's schedule. Considering the IV mispricing, an option with expiry after that (say Dec 16, 2022) could either help to hedge your existing positions or to open a new position. Directly holding the shares can help you to benefit from its compressed valuation (as to be detailed in the next section immediately below). But an option play can help you to benefit from the compression in its valuation AND also the IV mispricing.Business outlook and growth potentialAdmittedly, BABA's earning results have been a bit choppy lately. However, in its upcoming earnings report for the September 2022 quarter, I expected a number of promising growth avenues. These catalysts should support healthy earnings growth, especially in the near- to mid-term, say in the 2025-2027 timeframe. First, I expect the Chinese economy to recover considerably once COVID-19 concerns clear up. Second, BABA is still very successful at attracting new annual active customers from the vast population of China, especially from the less developed areas. Notably, Tmall and Taobao continue to perform well. Third, on the international stage, platforms such as Lazada and AliExpress logged solid double-digit order growth rates in fiscal 2021, and I foresee such growth to continue or even accelerate in the next few years. Finally, on top of all these, its cloud segment continues to capture market share within the burgeoning global cloud niche. All told, consensus estimates project an 11.5% EPS expansion in the next five years, as you can see from the first chart below. And I tend to agree with such a projection.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataIn the meantime, its financial position is strong. The balance sheet is in good condition, as seen in the next chart below, providing the liquidity and financial flexibility to fuel its continued expansion. Alibaba ended the last quarter with more than $69 billion in cash as seen. In addition, merely 13.4% of the capital structure is comprised of long-term debt (compared to AMZN's 45.4%), suggesting plenty of flexibility to support growth initiatives.Although, note that the table below made a mistake on its cash per share (probably due to confusion about its share count vs its ADR counts). With $69 billion of cash and approximately 2.6 billion ADR outstanding, the total cash per share should be about $26.5. At its current stock price of $75 as of this writing, more than 1/3 of its stock price (35.4% to be exact) is just cash.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataVolatility mispricing and option playAs mentioned above, holding the shares directly is a bet on its compressed valuation and growth potential. And an option play can provide a couple of additional advantages, as detailed in my other articles. To recap,First, compared to the buy-and-hold strategy, an option can limit your exposure in terms of the total dollar amount.Second, it can take advantage of both the valuation mispricing AND also volatility mispricing (the buy-and-hold strategy only benefit from the former).Third, it provides a definitive expiration date.As an example, as of this writing, a BABA call option with a $75 strike price (i.e., near the money) that expires on 12/16/2022 sells at about $7.8 as you can see from the first chart below provided by OIC. So $780 would provide exposure to 100 shares, versus $7.5k if you directly own the shares.You can also see the implied volatility is only 60.8%. Again, to me, this is an underestimate. As you can see from the second chart below, its IV has ranged from about 50% to about 100% in the past 6 months. And the current IV of 60% is close to the floor of this range. Yet, as argued earlier, recent events and price movements suggest no muting in its actual volatility. Also, as you can see from the third chart below, AMZN's current IV is close to 60% too (about 56%). However, as aforementioned, the DAILY price actions in BABA shares are nearly on the same magnitude as AMZN's monthly price fluctuations.oic.ivolatility.comBABA historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.comAMZN historical and implied volatility provided by IVolatility.comBaba risks and final thoughtsSince an option play, in a sense, is a way to limit risks already, I won't detail the specific risks surrounding BABA shares. Other SA authors have elaborated on the risks eloquently already anyway. Here, let me just repeat the risks inherent in writing options:Writing options can limit risks in terms of the absolute dollar amount. But it is riskier in relative terms. You can lose 100% and there is actually a good chance of that.To conclude, the main thesis here is built on an observation that I've made about BABA's implied volatility being mispriced. Yes, it is definitely attractive to own the shares directly in my mind (which I do) under current conditions. The stock is priced at single-digit FWD PE with double-digit growth rates. And it has about $26.5 of cash per ADR on its ledger, more than 1/3 of its stock current price. But an option play could bring an additional catalyst to the table. The upcoming earnings report in November could amplify the mispricing, judging by the recent historical pattern of its price movements around earnings reports.This article is written by Sensor Unlimited for reference only.

The iPhone 14 comes in four models: the basic iPhone 14, a &#34;supersized&#34; (Apple&#39;s word) version called the iPhone 14 Plus, and the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The basic starts at $799, the Plus starts at $899, the Pro starts at $999 and the Pro Max starts at $1,099.</p><p>All four models boast more advanced front and back cameras and safety features that can detect whether you&#39;ve been in a car crash and help you call 911, even if you&#39;re in an isolated area with limited cell service. The 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus has &#34;the best battery life ever in an iPhone,&#34; the company said.</p><p>All told, the iPhone 14 models &#34;have incredible new features that will help our users in meaningful ways,&#34; Apple chief executive Tim Cook said at Wednesday&#39;s unveiling.</p><p>How meaningful those upgrades really are remains to be seen. But there&#39;s no denying that the birth of the iPhone 15 years ago marked the beginning of a new, more intimate relationship between humans and their phones. Some might say that connection has morphed into codependency; people can&#39;t seem to function without their smartphones.</p><p>Is now the time to take that relationship to the next level and get a new iPhone?</p><h2>Why it matters</h2><p>&#34;I think keeping the price at $799 was a brilliant move on Apple&#39;s part,&#34; said Charles Lindsey, associate professor of Marketing, University at Buffalo School of Management a professor at the University at Buffalo. &#34;By not raising the price, they will not only capture early sales from the Apple innovators/early adopters (who typically buy new versions as soon as possible) but they will also pull in/convert your more mainstream users (who are typically slower to upgrade).&#34;</p><p>The iPhone 14 comes in &#34;stunning&#34; colors including deep purple and starlight. Those pretty hues contrast with some gloomy economic data in the U.S: Record-high inflation has pushed Americans&#39; cost of living way up, home prices and rents have soared, and credit card debt has piled up as pandemic-related government relief has receded. The labor market remains extremely tight, but some companies have been laying off employees or freezing hiring.</p><p>All of that may make consumers skittish about shelling out close to $1,000 on a phone. Which may explain Apple&#39;s decision to keep the base price of the iPhone 14 exactly the same as the starting price for the iPhone 13, unveiled in 2021.</p><p>The price isn&#39;t the only thing that didn&#39;t budge.</p><p>&#34;The base iPhone 14 model is actually almost identical to the 13,&#34; said Melanie Pinola, a senior writer and editor on the smartphone beat at Consumer Reports.</p><p>Based on what Pinola saw at Wednesday&#39;s unveiling, it appears that the iPhone 14 has the same display, processor, overall design and the same battery as the 13. &#34;If you have a 13, I don&#39;t know if I would switch to a 14 this year,&#34; Pinola said. &#34;There are small improvements with the 14, but I wouldn&#39;t say I would rush out right now.&#34;</p><p>The most notable change among the iPhone 14 models is the new larger version, the iPhone 14 Plus, with a 6.7-inch display, which is similar in size to the Samsung  Galaxy S22, Pinola said. &#34;This is the first time that Apple has ever made a large screen phone under $1,000, so it&#39;s more accessible for people who want a larger phone,&#34; Pinola told MarketWatch.</p><h2>The verdict</h2><p>Skip the iPhone 14, unless your existing phone is on life support. &#34;If you&#39;re not able to get security or software updates, it&#39;s definitely time to get a new phone,&#34; Pinola said.</p><h2>My reasons</h2><p>Tech companies have trained us to line up for new products on their schedule. But should Apple dictate when you spend money? Maybe that&#39;s how it became one of the world&#39;s most profitable companies. But blindly following Apple&#39;s marching orders is not how you will become the most profitable version of yourself.</p><h2>Is my verdict best for you?</h2><p>On the other hand, the fact that Apple kept the starting price the same on the iPhone 14 could make an upgrade easier to swallow, said Philip Michaels, U.S. managing editor at the product review site Tom&#39;s Guide.</p><p>&#34;People who bought the iPhone 13 last year are probably still very happy with their phones and will have little reason to upgrade,&#34; Michaels told MarketWatch. &#34;And given Apple&#39;s track record of lengthy software support -- iOS 16 works fine on phones released five years ago -- it&#39;s easy to hold onto your current iPhone for a long time.&#34;</p><p>&#34;That said, if you&#39;ve got an iPhone 11 or earlier, you will definitely notice an improvement in performance, even with the A15 Bionic chip on the iPhone 14 as opposed to the more advanced A16 Bionic powering the Pro models. Cameras figure to produce better results, too, though testing Apple&#39;s new phones will confirm that. Because Apple held the pricing at iPhone 13 levels despite the rumors of price hikes, an upgrade is even easier to justify,&#34; Michaels said.</p><p>Another possible incentive to upgrade: deals available through Apple can cut up to $800 off the price tag of the iPhone 14, and major mobile phone carriers including AT&amp;T <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">$(T)$</a>, T-Mobile <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TMUS\">$(TMUS)$</a> and Verizon <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$(VZ)$</a>, are offering discounts as well.</p><p>If you&#39;re trying to decide whether to upgrade, don&#39;t forget about the value of your existing phone, said Josh Lowitz co-founder of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, publisher of the upcoming CIRP-Apple report on Substack.</p><p>&#34;Used iPhones have real value, as trade-ins or hand-me-downs to family or friends,&#34; Lowitz said. &#34;Our data shows that about half of new iPhone buyers trade-in or sell their old phone, and more than a third of those who monetize their old phone, report that it was worth more than $300.&#34;</p><p>Retail promotions, including enhanced trade-in offers, can reduce the cost of ownership further, he noted.</p><p>Another key point: mobile carriers are offering longer payment plans. In the past, phone purchases were generally broken up into 24 or even 18 or 20 payments. Now, 30 and 36 monthly payment plans are common, Lowitz said.</p><p>&#34;That reduces the monthly outlay, though it postpones the relief of making that final payment, and the new phone buyer needs to be confident that their phone will serve them that long. Even with the strong residual value of an iPhone, a buyer with 36 payments may have negative equity in their phone into their third year of ownership,&#34; Lowitz said.</p><p>Apple shares closed almost 1% up Wednesday after the iPhone 14 event, but they are down 12% year to date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&amp;P 500 are down 13.5% and more than 16%, respectively, this year.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is the iPhone 14 Worth It?

This is a far cry from the massive customer additions investors have become used to seeing in recent years. And unsurprisingly, revenue growth has dramatically slowed. Sales of $8 billion in the second quarter were up just 8.6% year over year, the slowest pace in at least the last nine years.</p><p>I really think this shift comes down to one key factor: the intense competition for consumers&#39; eyeballs. With a seemingly unlimited number of streaming options on the market, Netflix is no longer the only game in town -- not to mention all of the other entertainment choices people have that don&#39;t involve staring at a screen.</p><p>The company is set to announce Q3 financial results on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Management expects the business to increase revenue by 4.7% year over year, and forecasts 1 million net new subscribers. A strong showing will certainly support a higher stock price.</p><h2>Growth outlook</h2><p>Despite recent headwinds, Netflix&#39;s global opportunity is still massive. There are currently roughly 800 million broadband households worldwide (excluding China, where Netflix isn&#39;t offered), a figure that can be viewed as Netflix&#39;s total addressable market. With 221 million subscribers today, there&#39;s still a large growth opportunity ahead.</p><p>It&#39;s starting to look like Netflix&#39;s most mature markets, the U.S. and Canada, are saturated, as these two countries lost a combined 1.9 million members over the past two quarters. Therefore, international markets will be the key driver when it comes to attracting more customers. The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, is the fastest growing segment for Netflix, adding almost 7 million subscribers over the last four quarters.</p><p>To boost the company&#39;s prospects, management earlier this year announced plans to introduce a cheaper, ad-supported subscription tier. Reed Hastings, Netflix&#39;s co-founder and co-CEO, long rejected this idea because he thought it would damage the brand and consumer experience. But with growth hitting a wall, and heightened competition in the industry, this seems like a no-brainer strategic move.</p><p>The company believes that some 40 million accounts will be signed up for this option by the end of Q3 2023. But undoubtedly, some customers who pay for the ad-free version will move over to the lower-cost option, making it hard to pinpoint the incremental revenue opportunity. Partnering with tech giant <b>Microsoft</b> on this endeavor, Netflix will make its ad-based subscription option available in select markets starting in November.</p><p>It&#39;s also worth mentioning Netflix&#39;s gaming push. While the company wants to bring more games to market in order to raise the value proposition of being a Netflix subscriber, and has purchased multiple studios to help this initiative, gaming hasn&#39;t moved the financial needle just yet.</p><h2>Current valuation</h2><p>After hitting an all-time high closing price of $692 last November, Netflix shares are down 67%. And as a result, the stock is currently trading hands at a price-to-earnings ratio of under 21, which is about as cheap as it has been at any point over the past decade. This simple metric signals an attractive entry price.</p><p>However, looking at Netflix&#39;s earnings might not be the right approach to valuation. This is because the company spends huge amounts of cash on content -- more than $17 billion in 2021 -- rendering accounting profits essentially meaningless. Therefore, the price-to-sales (P/S) multiple might be more appropriate in this situation. Currently, the P/S ratio stands at 3.4, about half the trailing 10-year average. Again, this shows us that Netflix stock is cheap by historical measures.</p><p>It certainly looks like the monster growth that investors have expecting from Netflix over the past decade is coming to an end. But that doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s time to abandon the stock. In fact, the business, which has long been a cash-burning machine, is on the cusp of generating sustainable positive free cash flow, starting with this year. Add this to an undemanding valuation, and investors should consider buying shares in the streaming pioneer now.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Now the Right Time to Buy Netflix Stock?</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\">\nIs Now the Right Time to Buy Netflix Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-07 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/07/is-now-the-right-time-to-buy-netflix-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>We're slightly more than nine months into 2022, and Netflix shares are down 62% for the year.

They&#39;re solid candidates if you have $5,000 to spend -- and even if you have $1,000 or $50,000 to spend.</p><h2><b>1. Meta Platforms</b></h2><p><b>Meta Platforms</b> is the company you might know as Facebook, but it changed its name in 2021 to reflect the scope of its operations and ambitions beyond its original social media platform. Its social media operations are rather enormous, though, with nearly 3 billion monthly active users and nearly 2 billion daily active users for Facebook alone. When you add in its other platforms -- which include Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp -- it has close to 3 billion daily active users.</p><p>Meanwhile, according to the company, &#34;Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology,&#34; -- thus its other main division, &#34;Reality Labs.&#34; So far, it&#39;s far from a big money-making enterprise, but management has high hopes for it. The company is also chasing additional profits from expanded e-commerce operations, greater use of artificial intelligence for driving content recommendations, and its answer to TikTok videos -- reels.</p><p>So why might Meta Platforms be a value stock? Well, its recent performances have disappointed investors, and their responses to its results, along with the overall market downturn, have sent its shares down by nearly 60% from their 52-week high. Now, they trade at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 14, well below their five-year average of 27. This could be a great buying opportunity for long-term believers in Mark Zuckerberg and his business.</p><h2><b>2. ServiceNow</b></h2><p><b>ServiceNow</b>, has a market cap of more than $90 billion, but its shares have fallen this year to about 36% below their 52-week high. The software-as-a-service company describes itself like this: &#34;Our cloud‑based platform and solutions help digitize and unify organizations so that they can find smarter, faster, better ways to make work flow&#34; and so &#34;employees and customers can be more connected, more innovative, and more agile.&#34;</p><p>Its second quarter featured subscription revenue of $1.7 billion, up 25% year over year, and total revenue of $1.8 billion, up 24%. Subscription income can be a big plus for a business, as it tends to keep recurring regularly, making it easier for management to plan. The company also noted: &#34;ServiceNow continues to expand its global footprint with more than 100 customers now paying over $10 million in annual contract value in Q2 2022, up more than 50% year‑over‑year.&#34;</p><p>Clearly, this is an attractive business -- and it&#39;s trading at attractive levels, too, with a recent forward-price-to-earnings ratio of 52, well below its five-year average of 80.</p><h2><b>3. ASML Holding</b></h2><p>Netherlands-based <b>ASML Holding</b> is, in its own words, &#34;a leading supplier to the semiconductor industry. The company provides chipmakers with hardware, software and services to mass produce the patterns of integrated circuits (microchips). Together with its partners, ASML drives the advancement of more affordable, more powerful, more energy-efficient microchips.&#34; Its market cap recently was near $185 billion, and it employs some 35,000 people.</p><p>The company&#39;s second-quarter report was a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it booked a record level of new orders and the company&#39;s backlog of orders stands at around 33 billion euros -- reflecting great demand for its products. On the other hand, the company (like many others) is being pressured by supply chain issues and inflation. In response, management has reduced its expectations for revenue growth and profitability.</p><p>Its shares, meanwhile, were recently down some 47% from their 52-week high. Yes, it&#39;s facing some headwinds, but these headwinds are not likely to last forever. The stock&#39;s recent price-to-cash-flow ratio was recently 20, well below its five-year average of 37, suggesting undervaluation. At this level, it should draw the attention of investors.</p><p>These are just a few of the many compellingly valued stocks out there now, and plenty of these businesses have been growing at a rapid clip, too. Take a closer look at any that interest you to see if they seem worthy of a berth in your long-term portfolio.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Got $5,000?

ASML HoldingNetherlands-based ASML Holding is, in its own words, \"a leading supplier to the semiconductor industry. The company provides chipmakers with hardware, software and services to mass produce the patterns of integrated circuits (microchips). Together with its partners, ASML drives the advancement of more affordable, more powerful, more energy-efficient microchips.\" Its market cap recently was near $185 billion, and it employs some 35,000 people.The company's second-quarter report was a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it booked a record level of new orders and the company's backlog of orders stands at around 33 billion euros -- reflecting great demand for its products. On the other hand, the company (like many others) is being pressured by supply chain issues and inflation. In response, management has reduced its expectations for revenue growth and profitability.Its shares, meanwhile, were recently down some 47% from their 52-week high. Yes, it's facing some headwinds, but these headwinds are not likely to last forever. The stock's recent price-to-cash-flow ratio was recently 20, well below its five-year average of 37, suggesting undervaluation. At this level, it should draw the attention of investors.These are just a few of the many compellingly valued stocks out there now, and plenty of these businesses have been growing at a rapid clip, too. Take a closer look at any that interest you to see if they seem worthy of a berth in your long-term portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":301,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9938587342,"gmtCreate":1662635887786,"gmtModify":1676537106102,"author":{"id":"4114039699852602","authorId":"4114039699852602","name":"Don 007","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cf8491b1bcaf8eb7027783be64d82761","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4114039699852602","authorIdStr":"4114039699852602"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Uncertainty market.

I have been analyzing if another upmove in this key ingredient for inflation and GDP output could push net energy costs and Fed tightening policy into the recession zone. Basically, crude oil back above $100 makes a &#34;soft landing&#34; scenario for the economy all but impossible.</p><p>Other U.S. supply shocks for oil could occur, like a major hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico hitting during September or October that slashes oil/gas production and refining for weeks or months.

In fact, commercial hedgers like oil companies and refiners are actually covering net short crude oil futures positions (in search of supply during the summer), now short the lowest number of contracts since 2016.

We may need a rapid panic event to reset inflation rates at a lower tier and halt Fed tightening policy, while upgrading business income and valuation numbers into 2024.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":88,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9930742245,"gmtCreate":1662011002589,"gmtModify":1676536625150,"author":{"id":"4114039699852602","authorId":"4114039699852602","name":"Don 007","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cf8491b1bcaf8eb7027783be64d82761","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4114039699852602","authorIdStr":"4114039699852602"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Waiting for the right entry price","listText":"Waiting for the right entry price","text":"Waiting for the right entry price","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9930742245","repostId":"1119571097","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119571097","pubTimestamp":1662003282,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119571097?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-01 11:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft Is A Cash Cow Blue Chip: Here's When To Snap Up Shares","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119571097","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryOf the largest 10 stocks in the S&P 500, there are only three that I think have valuations in","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Of the largest 10 stocks in the S&amp;P 500, there are only three that I think have valuations in the ballpark of being reasonable.</li><li>These three stocks are Microsoft, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway.</li><li>We dive into Microsoft, which is near where I would buy it, but not yet there.</li><li>Why Microsoft&#39;s business is such a juggernaut, and where I think you should snap up some stock in light of a tighter Fed and falling market valuations.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/215c81286b628ff98651c7ec2c9f62a2\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the second largest company by market cap in America, second only to Apple (AAPL).

Warren Buffett, one of the world&#39;s foremost merger arbitrageurs has bought billions in ATVI stock – he&#39;ll pocket $95 per share if the deal is successful. The deal is expected to closeby June of 2023 but requires antitrust approval in several countries. Merger arbitrage is not a new thing – it wasoutlined as a strategyby Benjamin Graham in his books.

The stock price hasn&#39;t changed much since the announcement, so you&#39;re getting more or less the same deal as Buffett here.</p><h2>MSFT Valuation And Target Price</h2><p>The overall market&#39;s valuation is too high. First, earnings aren&#39;t sustainable without massive stimulus juicing the economy, and second, price-to-earnings multiples are too high compared with what you can get in cash as the Fed jacks up rates to fight inflation. I covered this extensively this week in myfirstandsecond pieceson Jackson Hole and encourage readers to review my thoughts on the macro picture.</p><p>Market-wide, stock prices have risen faster than business profits over the past few years, and Microsoft is unfortunately not an exception to this trend. However, Microsoft&#39;s valuation is better than its large S&amp;P 500 peers, and of course, Microsoft&#39;s business is better run as well. This doesn&#39;t necessarily mean you should pay 30x earnings for it because it will drag down your future annual returns, but at worst, Microsoft is on the high side of a range where you might consider the stock fairly valued.</p><p>I believe the broad stock market is overvalued by a bit less than 20% at current prices as the post-pandemic economic hangover slowly resolves. Microsoft has an excellent underlying business, but I expect the Fed and the economy to drive the stock over the next 6-12 months. Ballparking off of FY 2023 earnings estimates for MSFT of roughly $10.25 per share, and applying a 20-21x multiple, you get a target price for buying MSFT at around $205 to $215. That&#39;s around 20% lower than the current price. That&#39;s where I&#39;d buy it. But if you&#39;re OK with a 25x multiple, then MSFT is a buy at $255 or so, or only about 3% lower than the current price. If you buy now, you might get 9% annual returns, but if you can score the stock for $210, you&#39;re looking at more like 15% annually.</p><p>In any case, compared with some other popular stocks trading at 50-100x earnings that could fall 50% and not even become cheap, MSFT has a much better risk/reward. This is fairly typical for blue chip stocks, which are often good businesses trading for premium valuations, so you have to stalk them for a good chance to buy. Historically,growth stocks trade at a large valuation premiumin bull markets but trade closer to the market median in bear markets, giving justification to this approach. Since so much MSFT is held by ETF investors, the macro environment is going to dictate the valuation in the short run.</p><h2>Bottom Line</h2><p>Microsoft is a great business, but the stock is connected to the broader market which is fighting the Fed&#39;s efforts to drain excess liquidity out of the system. If you buy MSFT now, I think you&#39;re getting decent long-term compensation but likely to face some declines in the near term. For this reason, I&#39;d rate MSFT a hold and look to pick up MSFT stock about 20% lower than the current price. For a Buffett-approved trade you can do right now, look at buying ATVI and waiting for the deal to close.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Microsoft Is A Cash Cow Blue Chip: Here's When To Snap Up Shares</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\">\nMicrosoft Is A Cash Cow Blue Chip: Here's When To Snap Up Shares\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-01 11:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4538205-microsoft-a-cash-cow-blue-chip-time-to-snap-up-shares><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryOf the largest 10 stocks in the S&P 500, there are only three that I think have valuations in the ballpark of being reasonable.These three stocks are Microsoft, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4538205-microsoft-a-cash-cow-blue-chip-time-to-snap-up-shares\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MSFT":"微软"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4538205-microsoft-a-cash-cow-blue-chip-time-to-snap-up-shares","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1119571097","content_text":"SummaryOf the largest 10 stocks in the S&P 500, there are only three that I think have valuations in the ballpark of being reasonable.These three stocks are Microsoft, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway.We dive into Microsoft, which is near where I would buy it, but not yet there.Why Microsoft's business is such a juggernaut, and where I think you should snap up some stock in light of a tighter Fed and falling market valuations.Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is the second largest company by market cap in America, second only to Apple (AAPL).

The valuation is lower than peers like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN), and while the company invests heavily in research &amp; development, its efforts aren&#39;t indiscriminate. Google hasn&#39;t plowed billions into creating a new universe, and it has been fortunate enough to mostly stay out of politics, unlike the company formerly known as Facebook (META) and Twitter (TWTR). While not matching the most explosive gainers in the NASDAQ (QQQ), Google stock is no slouch, returning 19.3% annually since its highly anticipated IPO in 2004. The stock peaked a little above a split-adjusted $150 per share in late 2021 and is now near $109 per share as of my writing this. So is Google a buy at this price, and if not, where should you snap it up?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c0a65f736f3410809e952b8051c30a84\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>GOOGLdata by YCharts</p><p>Unlike many NASDAQ stocks whose stocks have vastly outrun their underlying businesses, Google&#39;s PE ratio is about the same as it was 10 years ago.</p><p>Google is a great long-term business.</p><ul><li>The company spends almost as much on R&amp;D as it does on payroll and general &amp; administrative costs. While not all research &amp; development spending is productive, academic research on US and global markets shows companies that spend big on R&amp;D outperform companies that don&#39;t by a large margin. Automation is going to be one of the key trends in the economy going forward. Google&#39;sartificial intelligence efforts and other related R&amp;D give the company some great optionality in this arena.</li><li>Google advertising is simply more effective than traditional advertising due to the ability to better match consumers looking to fill needs with businesses looking to provide goods and services. I get annoyed when I see TV ads for stuff like structured settlements, erectile dysfunction, products to quit smoking, or drugs to treat rare autoimmune diseases. None of these apply to me. Advertisers are spending money to saturate the airwaves when the vast majority of people watching don&#39;t need or want their product! However, if someone is Googling these same things, the chance is much higher that they might need a product to help them, and companies only have to pay per click.</li><li>The network effect of being the dominant search engine offers the company a natural monopoly.</li></ul><p>However, as I pointed out in my Microsoft (MSFT)article last week, Google is one of the largest holdings in ETFs, inextricably tying the stock to the macro picture and the Fed&#39;s efforts to battle inflation. As risk sentiment changes, Google is likely to be sold off along with all of the other tech stocks, even though the business remains solid. This is a potential opportunity.</p><p><b>Why Are Stocks Selling Off?</b></p><p>I&#39;ve covered the macro picture a few times on here. In general, the market is correcting but remains somewhat mispriced. Corporate America has done well over the past few years, but what has increasingly happened is that share prices have risen faster than the underlying earnings of companies. During this time, valuations went from being a little high to being completely out of control in late 2021 against shaky earnings growth estimates. The reasons I gave at the time were that stimulus had artificially juiced corporate profits, while the Fed&#39;s free money COVID policies artificially caused valuations to swell. The result– stocks rallied epically in 2021 while nothing changed under the hood to make the economy structurally better.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9130ee8d8459f74b5ada2182017989d5\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>SPYdata by YCharts</p><p>As such, stocks have fallen rapidly in 2022 with stimulus in the rearview mirror and rates normalizing. But with the markets falling, the valuations of some stocks are starting to look attractive again. Therefore, our strategy here is pretty simple– use the falling market to get stocks for a discount.</p><p>&#34;Buy the dip&#34; is a popular strategy with investors, but the catch is that you have to buy good businesses when their valuations fall, and not just buy crappy stocks because they&#39;re down. <i>Seeking Alpha</i> is a good place to get a read on whether stock price declines are justified, and there are software tools likeF.A.S.T. Graphsthat can help you make these determinations as well. Google isn&#39;t a hard call for me–it&#39;s a good business. If you look at the company&#39;s financial statements over the last 10 years, it&#39;s clear that the company is a growth machine (in this case, the best line to look at is &#34;normalized diluted earnings per share&#34; to avoid holding tax charges from the 2017 tax bill against them).</p><p>If investing is like cooking, buying blue chip companies on market declines is like chicken parmesan. It&#39;s solid, tasty, and hard to mess up. No one is going to give us a Michelin star for this kind of strategy, but it offers a path to double your money in about 5 years with relatively little fanfare or drama.</p><p>Google is a great company. The question is the right price to pay for it.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81689a83961f08110800ec8954e31e39\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>GOOGdata by YCharts</p><p>In my Microsoft article from last week, we looked at the price-to-earnings ratios of the biggest companies in the S&amp;P 500 index (SPY) as of July 31st.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0cde87b0c7047ebf734cb0f2fbdc6e41\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"766\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SPY Top 10 Holdings(Etrade)</p><p>If you take these and plug in a 20x PE for Berkshire, the average price-to-earnings ratio is about 46! Crazy high. But Google is the cheapest of all of these stocks. Weird, right?</p><p>I&#39;ll admit that Google is not a recession-proof company. Advertising is not going to grow at the same pace it has in a recession, and ad sales may decline. But regardless, Google should not be the cheapest stock out of the top 10 S&amp;P 500 holdings. Unlike many large-cap peers that make use of aggressive accounting to boost reported income, Google&#39;s accounting may actually understate how profitable the company is due to the company&#39;s fondness for moonshot R&amp;D spending.</p><p>To this point, GOOG has a pretty decent chance of becoming the world&#39;s most valuable company in a few years&#39; time. Google is expected to grow earnings faster than Apple going forward, and if valuations come down across the board, Google is likely to get more support as investors realize it&#39;s cheap and scoop up the stock. The adoption rate for digital advertising over traditional ads continues its unstoppable advance, and I believe Google has good prospects for gaining future market share against competitors like Snap (SNAP) and Twitter. Despite the hype over dopamine hijacking media platforms like TikTok, YouTube is a much better platform for monetizing ads due to the wider variety of niches that can match customers and businesses.</p><p><b>Estimates from 2020 for the size of the digital ad market.</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d66523d61415431cc71a569fe9ad032\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"712\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Ad Market Sizes(&#34;PWC&#34;)</p><p>And then these are more recent estimates. Note the growth!</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c26b61cf0f3a2b66f0319b7a9384ea97\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"590\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Digital Ad Spend(eMarketer)</p><p>I&#39;d be remiss if I didn&#39;t note that the crazy ad boom in 2021 may have been somewhat cyclical. Funded by nearly free VC money, the startup ecosystem heavily used digital ad spending to drive revenue. I have to give them some credit here–hedge fund Bridgewatersaw this long before the market did, and put out pieces calling the 2022 NASDAQ price declines in late 2021. While I don&#39;t agree with 100% of their research, they&#39;re a great source for research and analysis that doesn&#39;t get much media attention at all. As such, Google is down about a third from the high in late 2021.</p><p>Again, Google is not a recession-proof stock, but advertising on Google provides the best bang-for-the-buck for businesses, so while 2021 may have pulled forward some demand, Google is going to be making plenty of money over the next 10 years. Although Google could continue to fall in the short run, you&#39;re now getting solid compensation for these risks at under 20x earnings. Additionally, the lower Google&#39;s valuation goes, the more shares the company will be able to eat up with the buyback.</p><p><b>Google&#39;s Valuation</b></p><p>Google trades for about 18x 2023 earnings estimates. Yes, these estimates are in the process of being revised downward by analysts, so Google is not quite as dirt cheap as it appears. This said, the company is still pretty cheap. Why should Google trade for about the same valuation as the S&amp;P 500 at large? It shouldn&#39;t. Google very clearly has better long-term growth prospects than the average S&amp;P 500 company, so it should trade at a premium. By contrast, Coca-Cola (KO) trades for 24x earnings, and analysts expect5-6% annual growth(which history shows they&#39;ll likely miss).</p><p>Giving Google&#39;s 2023 earnings estimates a 10% haircut and applying a roughly 10% earnings-per-share CAGR gets you an estimated 14.9% long-run annual return from buying Google stock at today&#39;s price. At $100, you&#39;re getting about 15.4%, and at $90, you&#39;re getting about a 16% annual return. This obviously isn&#39;t an exact science, but Google&#39;s valuation is low enough and the future growth estimates are high enough that it&#39;s very likely you&#39;ll make money on the stock even if you&#39;re imprecise with forecasting.</p><p>Given the macro headwinds but Google&#39;s excellent long-term prospects, anything under $100 looks really good for Google, and anything under $90 is even better, taking a lot of the Fed/macro risk out of the stock. Google&#39;s growth path means it should be a $200 stock in 5-6 years–any further declines in the stock price are likely to be good buying opportunities.</p><p>A little easter egg about Google– the company has multiple share classes. Class A stock (NASDAQ: GOOGL) trades for slightly less than Class C stock (GOOG). There is no practical difference between them, but the Class A stock is about 1% cheaper than the more popular Class C stock. This will normalize over time. For one, Google has recently started to buy class A shares with the buyback if they&#39;re cheaper. Buy the Class A shares for a roughly 1% discount and a little additional edge.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/098b9637ebca8c25528c4e946d8f992f\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"866\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>GOOGdata by YCharts</p><p><b>Bottom Line</b></p><p>Google is the cheapest stock in the top 10 holdings of the S&amp;P 500. During bear markets, stocks like Google go on sale despite their strong long-term business prospects being good. You can buy now and get decent long-term compensation, but I&#39;d especially look to buy GOOGL stock anywhere under $100. If you&#39;re able to do that, chances are that you can double your money in a few years&#39; time.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Google Is Unstoppable In The Long Run: When To Buy The Stock</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\">\nGoogle Is Unstoppable In The Long Run: When To Buy The Stock\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-06 19:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4539049-google-is-unstoppable-in-long-run-when-to-buy-stock?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A1><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryOf the largest 10 stocks in the S&P 500, there are only three that I think have reasonable valuations.These three stocks are Microsoft, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway.We look into Google, with ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4539049-google-is-unstoppable-in-long-run-when-to-buy-stock?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A1\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GOOGL":"谷歌A","GOOG":"谷歌"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4539049-google-is-unstoppable-in-long-run-when-to-buy-stock?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A1","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1135910742","content_text":"SummaryOf the largest 10 stocks in the S&P 500, there are only three that I think have reasonable valuations.These three stocks are Microsoft, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway.We look into Google, with the lowest P/E ratio of the 10 largest stocks in the S&P 500.Google peaked at over $150 in 2021 but has since sold off. Google's long-term outlook is great, but macro headwinds and the Fed may drive the stock even lower.Google has a shot at being the world's most valuable company in 5-10 years, but I think you might get it cheaper than today's price.Alphabet, the parent company of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is the most low-key of the mega-cap tech companies. The valuation is lower than peers like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN), and while the company invests heavily in research & development, its efforts aren't indiscriminate. Google hasn't plowed billions into creating a new universe, and it has been fortunate enough to mostly stay out of politics, unlike the company formerly known as Facebook (META) and Twitter (TWTR). While not matching the most explosive gainers in the NASDAQ (QQQ), Google stock is no slouch, returning 19.3% annually since its highly anticipated IPO in 2004. The stock peaked a little above a split-adjusted $150 per share in late 2021 and is now near $109 per share as of my writing this. So is Google a buy at this price, and if not, where should you snap it up?GOOGLdata by YChartsUnlike many NASDAQ stocks whose stocks have vastly outrun their underlying businesses, Google's PE ratio is about the same as it was 10 years ago.Google is a great long-term business.The company spends almost as much on R&D as it does on payroll and general & administrative costs. While not all research & development spending is productive, academic research on US and global markets shows companies that spend big on R&D outperform companies that don't by a large margin. Automation is going to be one of the key trends in the economy going forward. Google'sartificial intelligence efforts and other related R&D give the company some great optionality in this arena.Google advertising is simply more effective than traditional advertising due to the ability to better match consumers looking to fill needs with businesses looking to provide goods and services. I get annoyed when I see TV ads for stuff like structured settlements, erectile dysfunction, products to quit smoking, or drugs to treat rare autoimmune diseases. None of these apply to me. Advertisers are spending money to saturate the airwaves when the vast majority of people watching don't need or want their product! However, if someone is Googling these same things, the chance is much higher that they might need a product to help them, and companies only have to pay per click.The network effect of being the dominant search engine offers the company a natural monopoly.However, as I pointed out in my Microsoft (MSFT)article last week, Google is one of the largest holdings in ETFs, inextricably tying the stock to the macro picture and the Fed's efforts to battle inflation. As risk sentiment changes, Google is likely to be sold off along with all of the other tech stocks, even though the business remains solid. This is a potential opportunity.Why Are Stocks Selling Off?I've covered the macro picture a few times on here. In general, the market is correcting but remains somewhat mispriced. Corporate America has done well over the past few years, but what has increasingly happened is that share prices have risen faster than the underlying earnings of companies. During this time, valuations went from being a little high to being completely out of control in late 2021 against shaky earnings growth estimates. The reasons I gave at the time were that stimulus had artificially juiced corporate profits, while the Fed's free money COVID policies artificially caused valuations to swell. The result– stocks rallied epically in 2021 while nothing changed under the hood to make the economy structurally better.SPYdata by YChartsAs such, stocks have fallen rapidly in 2022 with stimulus in the rearview mirror and rates normalizing. But with the markets falling, the valuations of some stocks are starting to look attractive again. Therefore, our strategy here is pretty simple– use the falling market to get stocks for a discount.\"Buy the dip\" is a popular strategy with investors, but the catch is that you have to buy good businesses when their valuations fall, and not just buy crappy stocks because they're down. Seeking Alpha is a good place to get a read on whether stock price declines are justified, and there are software tools likeF.A.S.T. Graphsthat can help you make these determinations as well. Google isn't a hard call for me–it's a good business. If you look at the company's financial statements over the last 10 years, it's clear that the company is a growth machine (in this case, the best line to look at is \"normalized diluted earnings per share\" to avoid holding tax charges from the 2017 tax bill against them).If investing is like cooking, buying blue chip companies on market declines is like chicken parmesan. It's solid, tasty, and hard to mess up. No one is going to give us a Michelin star for this kind of strategy, but it offers a path to double your money in about 5 years with relatively little fanfare or drama.Google is a great company. The question is the right price to pay for it.GOOGdata by YChartsIn my Microsoft article from last week, we looked at the price-to-earnings ratios of the biggest companies in the S&P 500 index (SPY) as of July 31st.SPY Top 10 Holdings(Etrade)If you take these and plug in a 20x PE for Berkshire, the average price-to-earnings ratio is about 46! Crazy high. But Google is the cheapest of all of these stocks. Weird, right?I'll admit that Google is not a recession-proof company. Advertising is not going to grow at the same pace it has in a recession, and ad sales may decline. But regardless, Google should not be the cheapest stock out of the top 10 S&P 500 holdings. Unlike many large-cap peers that make use of aggressive accounting to boost reported income, Google's accounting may actually understate how profitable the company is due to the company's fondness for moonshot R&D spending.To this point, GOOG has a pretty decent chance of becoming the world's most valuable company in a few years' time. Google is expected to grow earnings faster than Apple going forward, and if valuations come down across the board, Google is likely to get more support as investors realize it's cheap and scoop up the stock. The adoption rate for digital advertising over traditional ads continues its unstoppable advance, and I believe Google has good prospects for gaining future market share against competitors like Snap (SNAP) and Twitter. Despite the hype over dopamine hijacking media platforms like TikTok, YouTube is a much better platform for monetizing ads due to the wider variety of niches that can match customers and businesses.Estimates from 2020 for the size of the digital ad market.Ad Market Sizes(\"PWC\")And then these are more recent estimates. Note the growth!Digital Ad Spend(eMarketer)I'd be remiss if I didn't note that the crazy ad boom in 2021 may have been somewhat cyclical. Funded by nearly free VC money, the startup ecosystem heavily used digital ad spending to drive revenue. I have to give them some credit here–hedge fund Bridgewatersaw this long before the market did, and put out pieces calling the 2022 NASDAQ price declines in late 2021. While I don't agree with 100% of their research, they're a great source for research and analysis that doesn't get much media attention at all. As such, Google is down about a third from the high in late 2021.Again, Google is not a recession-proof stock, but advertising on Google provides the best bang-for-the-buck for businesses, so while 2021 may have pulled forward some demand, Google is going to be making plenty of money over the next 10 years. Although Google could continue to fall in the short run, you're now getting solid compensation for these risks at under 20x earnings. Additionally, the lower Google's valuation goes, the more shares the company will be able to eat up with the buyback.Google's ValuationGoogle trades for about 18x 2023 earnings estimates. Yes, these estimates are in the process of being revised downward by analysts, so Google is not quite as dirt cheap as it appears. This said, the company is still pretty cheap. Why should Google trade for about the same valuation as the S&P 500 at large? It shouldn't. Google very clearly has better long-term growth prospects than the average S&P 500 company, so it should trade at a premium. By contrast, Coca-Cola (KO) trades for 24x earnings, and analysts expect5-6% annual growth(which history shows they'll likely miss).Giving Google's 2023 earnings estimates a 10% haircut and applying a roughly 10% earnings-per-share CAGR gets you an estimated 14.9% long-run annual return from buying Google stock at today's price. At $100, you're getting about 15.4%, and at $90, you're getting about a 16% annual return. This obviously isn't an exact science, but Google's valuation is low enough and the future growth estimates are high enough that it's very likely you'll make money on the stock even if you're imprecise with forecasting.Given the macro headwinds but Google's excellent long-term prospects, anything under $100 looks really good for Google, and anything under $90 is even better, taking a lot of the Fed/macro risk out of the stock. Google's growth path means it should be a $200 stock in 5-6 years–any further declines in the stock price are likely to be good buying opportunities.A little easter egg about Google– the company has multiple share classes. Class A stock (NASDAQ: GOOGL) trades for slightly less than Class C stock (GOOG). There is no practical difference between them, but the Class A stock is about 1% cheaper than the more popular Class C stock. This will normalize over time. For one, Google has recently started to buy class A shares with the buyback if they're cheaper. Buy the Class A shares for a roughly 1% discount and a little additional edge.GOOGdata by YChartsBottom LineGoogle is the cheapest stock in the top 10 holdings of the S&P 500. During bear markets, stocks like Google go on sale despite their strong long-term business prospects being good. You can buy now and get decent long-term compensation, but I'd especially look to buy GOOGL stock anywhere under $100. If you're able to do that, chances are that you can double your money in a few years' time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9989989768,"gmtCreate":1665885843154,"gmtModify":1676537675264,"author":{"id":"4114039699852602","authorId":"4114039699852602","name":"Don 007","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cf8491b1bcaf8eb7027783be64d82761","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4114039699852602","authorIdStr":"4114039699852602"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Two big giants are fighting, hence it will not aettle anytime soon.","listText":"Two big giants are fighting, hence it will not aettle anytime soon.","text":"Two big giants are fighting, hence it will not aettle anytime soon.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9989989768","repostId":"2275403939","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":864,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933969885,"gmtCreate":1662200243348,"gmtModify":1676537017528,"author":{"id":"4114039699852602","authorId":"4114039699852602","name":"Don 007","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cf8491b1bcaf8eb7027783be64d82761","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4114039699852602","authorIdStr":"4114039699852602"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No more global supply chain in years to come.&nbsp;","listText":"No more global supply chain in years to come.&nbsp;","text":"No more global supply chain in years to come.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933969885","repostId":"1162611714","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1162611714","pubTimestamp":1662173403,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1162611714?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-03 10:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia: Problems Keep Accumulating","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1162611714","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryNvidia stock crashes as much as 12% after the semi company disclosed that the U.S. government","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Nvidia stock crashes as much as 12% after the semi company disclosed that the U.S. government ordered a restriction on a selected portfolio of high-margin.</li><li>Nvidia has estimated the impact of the export restriction at $400 million in potential sales for its third fiscal quarter.</li><li>Although Nvidia stock is down almost 60% from all time highs, the valuation is still very expensive.</li><li>Personally, I would not buy Nvidia at a valuation above 30x EV/EBIT and/or 10x EV/Sales, which are still very proud multiples.</li><li>Accordingly, I see 20 - 30 percent more downside before the risk/reward for investors becomes justified.</li></ul><p><b>Thesis</b></p><p>Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock crashed 7.5% -- and intermittently more than 12% -- after the semi company disclosed that the US government ordered a restriction on a selected portfolio of high-margin AI chips to China. The announcement comes after Nvidia has already warned a slowing business environment for its chips with regards to both the company&#39;s gaming and data-center segment.</p><p>In my opinion, Nvidia stock has for a long time been overhyped and overvalued. And although NVDA stock is down approximately 60% from all time highs, I argue there is still some excess valuation premium that need to be corrected in order for investors to enjoy an attractive risk/reward.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/335faef0155694363b3fd84ee60b483c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"222\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p><b>U.S. Government Restricts Chip Sales </b></p><p>The filing</p><p>On August 31, Nvidia filed a disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission saying that the company has been notified about an export restriction of certain AI chips to China and Russia.</p><blockquote>...<i>the U.S. government informed NVIDIA Corporation that the USG has imposed a new license requirement, effective immediately, for any future export to China (including Hong Kong) and Russia of the Company’s A100 and forthcoming H100 integrated circuits.</i></blockquote><p>The restriction specifically names Nvidia A100 and H100 chips, but also extends to any chips that may match the technology.</p><blockquote><i>The license requirement also includes any future NVIDIA integrated circuit achieving both peak performance and chip-to-chip I/O performance equal to or greater than thresholds that are roughly equivalent to the A100, as well as any system that includes those circuits.</i></blockquote><p><b>What&#39;s The Impact</b></p><p>Nvidia has estimated the impact of the export restriction at $400 million in potential sales for its third fiscal quarter. Accordingly, the impact could be expanded to about $1.6 billion annually. If we apply Nvidia&#39;s 26% net income margin, and further apply the stock&#39;s currentx81 one-ear forward P/E multiple, the impact on valuation loss could be estimated at about $33.7 billion of equity value.</p><p><b>Investor Implication</b></p><p>The export restriction highlights a risk that the market arguably has ignored so far: the possibility that Nvidia&#39;s leading chip technology becomes an instrument of politics. In the filing, Nvidia cited <i>&#39;the risk that the covered products may be used in, or diverted to, a military end use or military end user&#39;</i> as the main reason for the export restrictions. But arguably, this step is just the latest episode in the technology war.</p><p>Arguably, the selected restriction of Nvidia&#39;s &#39;A100 and H100&#39; exports could only be the first wave of regulations to hit the US Semi industry.</p><p>Moreover, even if the US government does not extend restrictions to more of Nvidia&#39;s chips, it is highly likely that Nvidia will lose market share in China regardless. Investors should consider that the Chinese government will take restrictions of chips exports as a warning signal; and the response is that China will push to &#39;replace&#39; exposure to the US&#39; chip industry.</p><p><b>Still Very Stretched Valuation</b></p><p>Although Nvidia stock is down almost 60% from all time highs, the valuation is still very expensive. Investors should consider that Nvidia&#39;s one-year forward GAAP P/E of 81x implies a 270% premium to the U.S. technology sector. Nvidia&#39;s P/B of 15.8x and P/S of 13.9x imply a 290% and 395% premium respectively. Given a slowing business cycle for semiconductors, paired with fading investor confidence in US growth stocks, these multiples are highly vulnerable to a valuation contraction.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bdd4fc38ae5ce4b33d86923f5c92d92\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"563\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>Paying too much for a &#39;hyped&#39; investment can be very dangerous. Arguably, Cisco&#39;s (CSCO) growth story and equity performance in the early 2000 is very similar to the current situation surrounding Nvidia, from my viewpoint.</p><p>In the late 90s and early 2000, Cisco stock boomed from $5/share to about $80/share (stock-split adjusted). Investors were excited buying into the company&#39;s growth story that was driven by the World Wide Web adoption. Valuation did not matter, until it suddenly did. Then, in less than 24 months, Cisco stock lost almost 90% of its value. Interestingly, little changed for Cisco&#39;s fundamentals. In fact, the bull thesis of the World Wide Web taking over the world was correct. But investors simply paid way too much. Today, more than 20 years later, Cisco stock still trades approximately 50% below the stock&#39;s all time high.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/358a1da47ae3281430fa38ffff19aed5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"196\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>No doubt, Nvidia is a great business. But the company&#39;s stock is dangerous.

The announcement comes after Nvidia has already warned a slowing business environment for its chips with regards to both the company's gaming and data-center segment.In my opinion, Nvidia stock has for a long time been overhyped and overvalued. And although NVDA stock is down approximately 60% from all time highs, I argue there is still some excess valuation premium that need to be corrected in order for investors to enjoy an attractive risk/reward.Seeking AlphaU.S. Government Restricts Chip Sales The filingOn August 31, Nvidia filed a disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission saying that the company has been notified about an export restriction of certain AI chips to China and Russia....the U.S. government informed NVIDIA Corporation that the USG has imposed a new license requirement, effective immediately, for any future export to China (including Hong Kong) and Russia of the Company’s A100 and forthcoming H100 integrated circuits.The restriction specifically names Nvidia A100 and H100 chips, but also extends to any chips that may match the technology.The license requirement also includes any future NVIDIA integrated circuit achieving both peak performance and chip-to-chip I/O performance equal to or greater than thresholds that are roughly equivalent to the A100, as well as any system that includes those circuits.What's The ImpactNvidia has estimated the impact of the export restriction at $400 million in potential sales for its third fiscal quarter. Accordingly, the impact could be expanded to about $1.6 billion annually. If we apply Nvidia's 26% net income margin, and further apply the stock's currentx81 one-ear forward P/E multiple, the impact on valuation loss could be estimated at about $33.7 billion of equity value.Investor ImplicationThe export restriction highlights a risk that the market arguably has ignored so far: the possibility that Nvidia's leading chip technology becomes an instrument of politics. In the filing, Nvidia cited 'the risk that the covered products may be used in, or diverted to, a military end use or military end user' as the main reason for the export restrictions. But arguably, this step is just the latest episode in the technology war.Arguably, the selected restriction of Nvidia's 'A100 and H100' exports could only be the first wave of regulations to hit the US Semi industry.Moreover, even if the US government does not extend restrictions to more of Nvidia's chips, it is highly likely that Nvidia will lose market share in China regardless. Investors should consider that the Chinese government will take restrictions of chips exports as a warning signal; and the response is that China will push to 'replace' exposure to the US' chip industry.Still Very Stretched ValuationAlthough Nvidia stock is down almost 60% from all time highs, the valuation is still very expensive. Investors should consider that Nvidia's one-year forward GAAP P/E of 81x implies a 270% premium to the U.S. technology sector. Nvidia's P/B of 15.8x and P/S of 13.9x imply a 290% and 395% premium respectively. Given a slowing business cycle for semiconductors, paired with fading investor confidence in US growth stocks, these multiples are highly vulnerable to a valuation contraction.Seeking AlphaPaying too much for a 'hyped' investment can be very dangerous. Arguably, Cisco's (CSCO) growth story and equity performance in the early 2000 is very similar to the current situation surrounding Nvidia, from my viewpoint.In the late 90s and early 2000, Cisco stock boomed from $5/share to about $80/share (stock-split adjusted). Investors were excited buying into the company's growth story that was driven by the World Wide Web adoption. Valuation did not matter, until it suddenly did. Then, in less than 24 months, Cisco stock lost almost 90% of its value. Interestingly, little changed for Cisco's fundamentals. In fact, the bull thesis of the World Wide Web taking over the world was correct. But investors simply paid way too much. Today, more than 20 years later, Cisco stock still trades approximately 50% below the stock's all time high.Seeking AlphaConclusionNo doubt, Nvidia is a great business. But the company's stock is dangerous. After a weak June quarter, driven amongst others by a slowing semi demand in the gaming and data-center vertical, now investors must also price the negativity of heightened regulatory risk.Personally, I would not buy Nvidia at a valuation above 30x EV/EBIT and/or 10x EV/Sales, which are still very proud multiples. Accordingly, I see 20 - 30 percent more downside before the risk/reward for investors becomes justified(but arguably still not attractive given the regulatory risk and slowing business cycle).
