They sold $42 billion worth in the five weeks ending Sept. 21.</p><p>That followed $51 billion in sales during the five weeks ending Sept. 7 — the biggest selling wave this year, says S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.

His fund beats its mid-cap growth category and Morningstar U.S. mid-cap broad growth index by 14 percentage points annualized over the past five years, according to Morningstar Direct. That’s big outperformance.</p><p>The catch is that it may be a stock pickers’ market.</p><p>“Not everything is going to work together,” says Baron.</p><p>Here are three ways to deal with this.</p><p>1. You can solve this problem by leaving the driving to someone else, such as Baron. His fund gets five stars from Morningstar, the highest, and it charges 1.3% in expenses.</p><p>2. You can take a peek inside his portfolio for stock ideas. “A slowdown does not change our thesis on our stocks. Our companies continue to innovate and continue to grow,” says Baron.</p><p>3. Better yet, take the “meal for a lifetime” approach and consider what you can learn from him about investing.</p><p>I tackled the last two approaches in a recent chat with Baron about his investment approach and his biggest — and most recently purchased — positions.</p><p>Here are five key lessons that might help you improve your returns, with stock examples for each.</p><h2><b>1. Hold concentrated positions</b></h2><p>This one is not for everyone. A lot of investing is about managing risk, and big positions increase your risk considerably because if they go bad, you lose a lot of money. But time and again, I notice that investors who outperform often do so via large position size. (Read <a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/billionaires-typically-own-concentrated-stock-positions-this-investor-posted-a-30-fold-gain-over-10-years-on-one-little-known-company-11663163019?mod=article_inline\" target=\"_blank\">this other column</a> I wrote.) Talk to a financial adviser to see if this is right for you. But Baron has little doubt when it comes to his own fund. In a world where many managers cap their portfolio exposure to single names at 2% to 3%, at Baron’s fund, over 56% of the portfolio is in eight stocks. Each of those is a 4.5%-or-more position.</p><p>The biggest concentrated position, by far, is Tesla at 20.4%. Baron Funds famously took a large position in Tesla before it went parabolic, and then stuck with it despite the <a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tesla-bears-are-now-making-crazy-claims-short-circuiting-their-cause-2019-04-04?mod=article_inline\" target=\"_blank\">vitriolic skepticism</a> toward Tesla CEO Elon Musk.</p><p>Following the stock’s big move in 2020, the fund trimmed it a bit, but Baron is keeping a huge position.</p><p>“We see so much potential, we don’t want to sell,” says Baron. “Of all the companies I cover and [those] analysts come pitch to me, the company I feel the most confidence in is Tesla.”</p><p>Baron thinks the stock could still triple in less than a decade. What will get it there?</p><p>Tesla has created a strong brand with no marketing, and it has a 25% market share in electric cars, which are still in the very early stages of adoption. Only around 4% of vehicles are electric.</p><p>“People think we are going into a slowdown but demand for their cars has never been better,” he says.</p><p>Tesla delivered a million cars last year. It will deliver two million next year, and that’ll hit 20 million a year by the end of the decade, Baron predicts. Tesla produces high gross margins in the upper 20% range because cars that sell for around $50,000 cost around $36,000 to make. Baron thinks Tesla’s battery business could ultimately be as big as the car business.</p><p>The next four big concentrated positions are the privately held Space Exploration Technologies (also run by Musk), the insurer Arch Capital Group, Hyatt Hotels and the real estate market analytics company CoStar Group, at 5% to 6% each. (Holdings are valid as of the end of June.)</p><h2><b>2. Invest in growth</b></h2><p>Baron pays attention to valuations, but the portfolio has a growth bias.</p><p>This brings big exposure to the gaming and lodging sector, which makes up 20% of the portfolio. Baron, who was once a gaming analyst at Jefferies Group, expects solid growth as people continue to want to break free of pandemic lockdown life.</p><p>“People realized in the pandemic that life is short, and they want to get out and do things,” he says.</p><p>Baron tilts his exposure to gaming and lodging companies that serve higher-income consumers.</p><p>Baron thinks that even in a recession, these companies should still generate cash flow above 2019 levels. Wealthier customers will cut back less on spending in any recession. These companies have gotten more efficient by better targeting their marketing and trimming some customer perks. Holdings here include Hyatt, Red Rock Resorts, MGM Resorts International and Vail Resorts.</p><p>Baron also cites Krispy Kreme as a name with growth potential, as it continues to increase its presence in the marketplace, which Krispy Kreme calls “points of sale.” This includes things like prominent displays in convenience stores and supermarkets. Baron thinks Krispy Kreme could post 20% annual earnings growth, producing a double in the stock over the next three to four years.</p><p><b>3. Invest alongside founders</b></p><p>Academic research confirms that founder-run companies tend to outperform. Think Amazon.comnand Facebook parent Meta Platforms         which vastly outperformed the market.</p><p>A lesser-known name from Baron’s holdings that fit the bill is Figs. The company sells scrubs, lab coats and related health-care sector apparel designed for comfort, style and durability. Figs stock has fallen sharply to under $10 from highs of around $50 shortly after its May 2021 initial public offering.</p><p>Baron likens Figs to Under Armour,  the popular sports apparel company. “People love their product,” he says.</p><p>He thinks sales could double to $1 billion in three years. The company is run by co-founders Heather Hasson and Trina Spear. This is a new position for Baron as of the second quarter.</p><p>Another founder-run company in Baron’s portfolio is CoStar, which offers research and insights on commercial real estate trends and pricing. The company has a competitive advantage because it has the largest research team in the field, and it’s been in business for over 20 years. The company is expanding into residential real estate market analysis. This could help CoStar quadruple revenue or more over the next five years, says Baron. Founder Andrew Florance is the CEO.</p><h2><b>4. Look for large market opportunities</b></h2><p>Tesla is a good example, with its 25% share of the EV business that only makes up 4% of the overall vehicle market. So is another Musk company: Space Exploration Technologies.</p><p>SpaceX has two businesses, its Starlink internet service supported by a constellation of satellites, and its rocket launch business. Starlink has big potential because 3.5 billion people in the world are without internet access.</p><p>“This could be a trillion-dollar revenue business with extremely high margins,” says Baron.</p><p>Starlink recently signed on Royal Caribbean and T-Mobile US as customers. The rocket business has big growth potential because SpaceX can launch at one-tenth the cost of NASA.</p><p>Baron thinks SpaceX could be a 10-bagger over the next seven to 10 years. The problem for regular investors is that SpaceX is still private, and it may be years before it goes public because it doesn’t need cash, says Baron. Unless you are an accredited investor, it’s tough to get privately listed shares. For exposure to this one, owning Baron’s fund is one way to go.</p><h2><b>5. Have some ballast</b></h2><p>A risk with high-growth names is that their stocks can fall hard if growth stumbles a bit. Momentum investors in growth names are quick to sell.</p><p>To offset the risk of high-growth companies like Tesla and SpaceX, Baron likes to hold potentially safer names like Arch Capital Group in insurance and reinsurance. Arch Capital’s stock looks reasonably priced at 1.5 times its $31.37 book value. Second-quarter insurance sector net premiums grew 27.5%, year over year. Baron thinks the stock could double in four or five years.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>Big Selling Wave in Stocks Makes for a Buying Opportunity</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\">\nBig Selling Wave in Stocks Makes for a Buying Opportunity\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-29 13:12 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/big-selling-wave-in-stocks-makes-for-a-buying-opportunity-says-baron-manager-who-has-20-of-his-funds-assets-in-tesla-11664385155?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Institutional investors have been clearing out of stocks.

What will get it there?Tesla has created a strong brand with no marketing, and it has a 25% market share in electric cars, which are still in the very early stages of adoption. Only around 4% of vehicles are electric.“People think we are going into a slowdown but demand for their cars has never been better,” he says.Tesla delivered a million cars last year. It will deliver two million next year, and that’ll hit 20 million a year by the end of the decade, Baron predicts. Tesla produces high gross margins in the upper 20% range because cars that sell for around $50,000 cost around $36,000 to make. Baron thinks Tesla’s battery business could ultimately be as big as the car business.The next four big concentrated positions are the privately held Space Exploration Technologies (also run by Musk), the insurer Arch Capital Group, Hyatt Hotels and the real estate market analytics company CoStar Group, at 5% to 6% each. (Holdings are valid as of the end of June.)2. Invest in growthBaron pays attention to valuations, but the portfolio has a growth bias.This brings big exposure to the gaming and lodging sector, which makes up 20% of the portfolio. Baron, who was once a gaming analyst at Jefferies Group, expects solid growth as people continue to want to break free of pandemic lockdown life.“People realized in the pandemic that life is short, and they want to get out and do things,” he says.Baron tilts his exposure to gaming and lodging companies that serve higher-income consumers.Baron thinks that even in a recession, these companies should still generate cash flow above 2019 levels. Wealthier customers will cut back less on spending in any recession. These companies have gotten more efficient by better targeting their marketing and trimming some customer perks. Holdings here include Hyatt, Red Rock Resorts, MGM Resorts International and Vail Resorts.Baron also cites Krispy Kreme as a name with growth potential, as it continues to increase its presence in the marketplace, which Krispy Kreme calls “points of sale.” This includes things like prominent displays in convenience stores and supermarkets. Baron thinks Krispy Kreme could post 20% annual earnings growth, producing a double in the stock over the next three to four years.3. Invest alongside foundersAcademic research confirms that founder-run companies tend to outperform. Think Amazon.comnand Facebook parent Meta Platforms         which vastly outperformed the market.A lesser-known name from Baron’s holdings that fit the bill is Figs. The company sells scrubs, lab coats and related health-care sector apparel designed for comfort, style and durability. Figs stock has fallen sharply to under $10 from highs of around $50 shortly after its May 2021 initial public offering.Baron likens Figs to Under Armour,  the popular sports apparel company. “People love their product,” he says.He thinks sales could double to $1 billion in three years. The company is run by co-founders Heather Hasson and Trina Spear. This is a new position for Baron as of the second quarter.Another founder-run company in Baron’s portfolio is CoStar, which offers research and insights on commercial real estate trends and pricing. The company has a competitive advantage because it has the largest research team in the field, and it’s been in business for over 20 years. The company is expanding into residential real estate market analysis. This could help CoStar quadruple revenue or more over the next five years, says Baron. Founder Andrew Florance is the CEO.4. Look for large market opportunitiesTesla is a good example, with its 25% share of the EV business that only makes up 4% of the overall vehicle market. So is another Musk company: Space Exploration Technologies.SpaceX has two businesses, its Starlink internet service supported by a constellation of satellites, and its rocket launch business. Starlink has big potential because 3.5 billion people in the world are without internet access.“This could be a trillion-dollar revenue business with extremely high margins,” says Baron.Starlink recently signed on Royal Caribbean and T-Mobile US as customers. The rocket business has big growth potential because SpaceX can launch at one-tenth the cost of NASA.Baron thinks SpaceX could be a 10-bagger over the next seven to 10 years. The problem for regular investors is that SpaceX is still private, and it may be years before it goes public because it doesn’t need cash, says Baron. Unless you are an accredited investor, it’s tough to get privately listed shares. For exposure to this one, owning Baron’s fund is one way to go.5. Have some ballastA risk with high-growth names is that their stocks can fall hard if growth stumbles a bit. Momentum investors in growth names are quick to sell.To offset the risk of high-growth companies like Tesla and SpaceX, Baron likes to hold potentially safer names like Arch Capital Group in insurance and reinsurance. Arch Capital’s stock looks reasonably priced at 1.5 times its $31.37 book value. Second-quarter insurance sector net premiums grew 27.5%, year over year. Baron thinks the stock could double in four or five years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":592,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9910127879,"gmtCreate":1663581740892,"gmtModify":1676537295127,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/3f9e880abd2549469fa884d32b4aea4e","width":"1284","height":"2325"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9910127879","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":507,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937851143,"gmtCreate":1663399729382,"gmtModify":1676537266023,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v>","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a053a104009fa17d0135dce898a2771a","width":"1284","height":"2325"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937851143","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":364,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9935790642,"gmtCreate":1663131141987,"gmtModify":1676537211014,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/U\">$Unity Software Inc.(U)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v> Pray&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/U\">$Unity Software Inc.(U)$</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v> Pray&nbsp;","text":"$Unity Software Inc.(U)$ Pray","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/87fcbd03999398c6f888c5ca9730ca92","width":"1284","height":"2325"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9935790642","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":568,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9935440220,"gmtCreate":1663126689661,"gmtModify":1676537209986,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9935440220","repostId":"2267503275","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2267503275","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1663100861,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2267503275?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-14 04:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall St Tumbles to Biggest Loss in Two Years Following CPI Data","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2267503275","media":"Reuters","summary":"U.S. consumer prices rise unexpectedlyLikelihood grows of a 100 bp Fed rate hike in SeptIndexes slid","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>U.S. consumer prices rise unexpectedly</li><li>Likelihood grows of a 100 bp Fed rate hike in Sept</li><li>Indexes slide: Dow 3.94%, S&amp;P 4.32%, Nasdaq 5.16%</li></ul><p>(Reuters) -

But we will feel it.\"\"We are at recession’s doorstep.\"Worries persist that a prolonged period of policy tightening from the Fed could tip the economy over the brink of recession.The inversion of yields on two- and 10-year Treasury notes, regarded as a red flag of impending recession, widened further.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1,276.37 points, or 3.94%, to 31,104.97, the S&P 500 lost 177.72 points, or 4.32%, to 3,932.69 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 632.84 points, or 5.16%, to 11,633.57.All 11 major sectors of the S&P 500 ended the session deep in red territory.Communications services, consumer discretionary and tech shares all plummeted more than 5%, while the tech subset semiconductor sector sank 6.2%.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 7.76-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 3.64-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted 1 new 52-week high and 16 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 29 new highs and 163 new lows.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 11.58 billion shares, compared with the 10.33 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":773,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9935165072,"gmtCreate":1663048249296,"gmtModify":1676537191413,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/RIVN 20220916 28.0 PUT\">$RIVN 20220916 28.0 PUT$</a>Just sharing&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/RIVN 20220916 28.0 PUT\">$RIVN 20220916 28.0 PUT$</a>Just sharing&nbsp;","text":"$RIVN 20220916 28.0 PUT$Just sharing","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/cb07e811499d8ff07363622fef5ab444","width":"1284","height":"2538"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9935165072","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9935162467,"gmtCreate":1663048212059,"gmtModify":1676537191405,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9935162467","repostId":"2267773293","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2267773293","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1663047867,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2267773293?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-13 13:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Google Cancels Next Version of Pixelbook, Dissolves Computer Hardware Team","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2267773293","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has canceled the next version of its Pixelbook computer and has ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has canceled the next version of its Pixelbook computer and has closed down the team that was building it, The Verge reported.</p><p>The news outlet, citing a person familiar with the matter, noted that the new version of the Pixelbook was &#34;far along in development&#34; and was expected to be debuted next year.

Accelerating the “brown to green” transformation</b></p><p>During SCI’sInvestor Daylast year, the group unveiled a bold plan to transform its portfolio from brown (i.e. legacy energy sources such as coal and oil) to green (renewable and/or sustainable energy).</p><p>The plan back then was to grow the profit contribution from its sustainable solutions portfolio from 40% to 70% by 2025.</p><p>With the sale of SEIL, SCI can now advance on many aspects of this long-term objective.</p><p>First off, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity will fall from fiscal 2021’s (FY2021) 0.51 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt hour (tCO2e/MWh) to just 0.32, already surpassing its 2025’s target of 0.4.</p><p>Furthermore, its absolute GHG emissions will fall sharply from 26.2 million tCO2e to 10.4 million.</p><p>For context, SCI’s 2030 target is to reduce GHG emissions to 2.7 million tCO2e and to hit net zero by 2050.</p><p>Meanwhile, this transaction will also bump up its total renewables capacity to around half of the total group capacity, and increase the net profit contribution from sustainable solutions to 31%, up from the current one-quarter.</p><p><b>2. A stronger balance sheet</b></p><p>The divestment will also strengthen SCI’s balance sheet by reducing its total debt level.</p><p>The group estimates that its total debt will fall from S$8.7 billion as of 30 June 2022 to S$7.1 billion as SEIL is deconsolidated from its books.</p><p>As a result, SCI’s leverage ratios are expected to improve.</p><p>Debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) will dip from five times to 4.9 times while EBITDA interest cover will rise from 5.1 times to 6.3 times.</p><p>A higher EBITDA interest cover implies that SCI is better able to service its debt obligations.</p><p>SCI’s debt to capitalisation ratio will also fall from 0.66 times to 0.62 times post-transaction.</p><p><b>3. Settlement using a deferred payment note</b></p><p>The purchaser of SEIL will settle the total purchase price using a deferred payment note (DPN).</p><p>The DPN is a facility set up by the wholly-owned unit of SCI, Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd.</p><p>This DPN will bear interest at a rate of 1.8% plus the benchmark Indian government 10-year bond yield spot rate, minus a GHG emissions intensity reduction incentive rate.</p><p>The current Indian government 10-year bond yield is around 7.2%.</p><p>The incentive rate is capped at 1.8%, which means SCI’s DPN will enjoy an interest rate equivalent to 7.2% or higher on this transaction.</p><p><b>4. Slightly weaker financial metrics</b></p><p>The sale of SEIL is at an implied price-to-book ratio of one time, implying that SCI is not selling this asset at a discount to its book value.</p><p>However, as SEIL’s profit contribution will be deconsolidated from SCI’s books, there is a slight negative impact on net profit and net asset value (NAV).</p><p>Net profit for the first half of 2022 (1H2022) will fall from S$490 million to S$468 million while NAV will dip from S$4.2 billion to S$4.18 billion.</p><p><b>5. A trusted long-term partner</b></p><p>SEIL will be in good hands as OIC is a leading private equity investment company with a strong track record.</p><p>OIC’s track record of investments covers a wide range of industries such as energy and infrastructure, healthcare, and real estate and logistics.</p><p>OIC will own 70% of the consortium and SCI had partnered with OIC to jointly develop and operate the Salalah Independent Power and Water Plant back in 2009.</p><p><b>Get Smart: Killing two birds with one stone</b></p><p>The sale of SEIL is overall positive for SCI as it allows the group to kill two birds with one stone.</p><p>The transaction will allow SCI to accelerate its Investor Day objective to increase its share of sustainable solutions.</p><p>At the same time, the group’s balance sheet metrics will also improve.</p><p>Investors can rejoice as this move shows management’s commitment to advancing its strategic goals as part of SCI’s ongoing transformation.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Accelerating the “brown to green” transformationDuring SCI’sInvestor Daylast year, the group unveiled a bold plan to transform its portfolio from brown (i.e. legacy energy sources such as coal and oil) to green (renewable and/or sustainable energy).The plan back then was to grow the profit contribution from its sustainable solutions portfolio from 40% to 70% by 2025.With the sale of SEIL, SCI can now advance on many aspects of this long-term objective.First off, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity will fall from fiscal 2021’s (FY2021) 0.51 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt hour (tCO2e/MWh) to just 0.32, already surpassing its 2025’s target of 0.4.Furthermore, its absolute GHG emissions will fall sharply from 26.2 million tCO2e to 10.4 million.For context, SCI’s 2030 target is to reduce GHG emissions to 2.7 million tCO2e and to hit net zero by 2050.Meanwhile, this transaction will also bump up its total renewables capacity to around half of the total group capacity, and increase the net profit contribution from sustainable solutions to 31%, up from the current one-quarter.2. A stronger balance sheetThe divestment will also strengthen SCI’s balance sheet by reducing its total debt level.The group estimates that its total debt will fall from S$8.7 billion as of 30 June 2022 to S$7.1 billion as SEIL is deconsolidated from its books.As a result, SCI’s leverage ratios are expected to improve.Debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) will dip from five times to 4.9 times while EBITDA interest cover will rise from 5.1 times to 6.3 times.A higher EBITDA interest cover implies that SCI is better able to service its debt obligations.SCI’s debt to capitalisation ratio will also fall from 0.66 times to 0.62 times post-transaction.3. Settlement using a deferred payment noteThe purchaser of SEIL will settle the total purchase price using a deferred payment note (DPN).The DPN is a facility set up by the wholly-owned unit of SCI, Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd.This DPN will bear interest at a rate of 1.8% plus the benchmark Indian government 10-year bond yield spot rate, minus a GHG emissions intensity reduction incentive rate.The current Indian government 10-year bond yield is around 7.2%.The incentive rate is capped at 1.8%, which means SCI’s DPN will enjoy an interest rate equivalent to 7.2% or higher on this transaction.4. Slightly weaker financial metricsThe sale of SEIL is at an implied price-to-book ratio of one time, implying that SCI is not selling this asset at a discount to its book value.However, as SEIL’s profit contribution will be deconsolidated from SCI’s books, there is a slight negative impact on net profit and net asset value (NAV).Net profit for the first half of 2022 (1H2022) will fall from S$490 million to S$468 million while NAV will dip from S$4.2 billion to S$4.18 billion.5. A trusted long-term partnerSEIL will be in good hands as OIC is a leading private equity investment company with a strong track record.OIC’s track record of investments covers a wide range of industries such as energy and infrastructure, healthcare, and real estate and logistics.OIC will own 70% of the consortium and SCI had partnered with OIC to jointly develop and operate the Salalah Independent Power and Water Plant back in 2009.Get Smart: Killing two birds with one stoneThe sale of SEIL is overall positive for SCI as it allows the group to kill two birds with one stone.The transaction will allow SCI to accelerate its Investor Day objective to increase its share of sustainable solutions.At the same time, the group’s balance sheet metrics will also improve.Investors can rejoice as this move shows management’s commitment to advancing its strategic goals as part of SCI’s ongoing transformation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9935185387,"gmtCreate":1663046232649,"gmtModify":1676537191040,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

finance chief Gustavo Arnal was overwhelmed; Arnal had discussed taking a break before he died</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/42f6129d25b28ae0e1c1cb55c29cc08c\" tg-width=\"1290\" tg-height=\"860\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond board members didn’t want to change finance chiefs while the company was raising money.</span></p><p>In the weeks before Gustavo Arnal took his own life, there was growing concern among Bed Bath &amp; Beyond Inc. officials and directors over the demands being placed on the chief financial officer and the stress of the intensifying financial crisis at the home-goods chain, according to people familiar with the matter.</p><p>Sue Gove, a board member who had taken over as interim chief executive officer in June, and some other board members thought Mr. Arnal was overwhelmed but didn’t want to replace the finance chief while the embattled retailer was in the midst of raising money, the people said.</p><p>Mr. Arnal told people that he was stressed, his friends said. He was putting in 18-hour days while he worked on the company’s restructuring plans. He was also inundated with emails from individual investors and plaintiffs’ lawyers questioning an August sale of some of his holdings in Bed Bath &amp; Beyond, the people said.</p><p>Mr. Arnal was discussing with the company the possibility of taking a break, the people said. Company officials had calls about the topic before the Labor Day weekend and planned to pick up the discussions after the holiday, some of the people said.</p><p>On the morning of Aug. 31, Ms. Gove, Mr. Arnal and other executives announced that they had secured fresh financing and briefed investors on a major restructuring. Two days later, Mr. Arnal died from a fall at the 57-story New York City skyscraper where he lived with his wife, police said. The medical examiner determined it was a suicide.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b93eddd419b0fe8280b921863161d010\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"700\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Police said Mr. Arnal died from a fall at the New York City skyscraper where he lived.</span></p><p>His death and a shareholder’s lawsuit alleging wrongdoing at the company have become tabloid fodder. The company is investigating and reviewing Mr. Arnal’s emails; company officials have seen no evidence of fraud or wrongdoing, some of the people said.</p><p>The company has said that the suit is meritless and staff are mourning the loss of their colleague. Mr. Arnal’s family didn’t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>“I could see the stress on him,” saidJan Zijderveld, the former chief executive of Avon Products, who had dinner with Mr. Arnal and his wife six weeks ago at a rooftop restaurant in Manhattan.</p><p>Mr. Arnal was upbeat and animated throughout the meal, which stretched past 1 a.m., Mr. Zijderveld said. His friend said he was under pressure at work but didn’t discuss the details, said Mr. Zijderveld. “He’s the sort of guy who carries the world on his shoulders,” he said.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ef3df610b6807b12fac195b08c14142\" tg-width=\"458\" tg-height=\"562\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond has about 800 stores around the U.S. The chain boasted 27 straight years of growth until 2019, when it started to lose customers to online shopping. That year,its founders and leaders were ousted by activist investors.</p><p>The company has since been reeling from a failed turnaround strategy that left it with too much inventory, evaporating profits and a shrinking cash pile. The architect of the strategy, former CEO Mark Tritton, left in June, followed by other senior executives he had recruited to the company. Gone are the chief operating officer, chief merchant and chief accounting officer. Mr. Tritton declined to comment this week.</p><p>Mr. Arnal, who started at the company in May 2020, was one of the few members of Mr. Tritton’s leadership team to keep his role this year. He was a polished finance executive who had spent two decades at Procter &amp; Gamble Co. and worked several years in London as chief financial officer for Avon and in a senior finance role at Walgreens Boots Alliance.</p><p>By the time Mr. Arnal arrived, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond was in trouble. Its market value, which peaked above $17 billion in 2012, had shriveled to under $1 billion. The company’s business was upended by the Covid-19 pandemic: Stores were shut and supplies disrupted. Then it got caught up in the meme-stock mania, during which individual investors chased companies that Wall Street had left for dead.</p><p>Ryan Cohen, the billionaire co-founder of online retailer Chewy Inc. and an activist investor, unveiled a stake in Bed Bath &amp; Beyond in March 2022 and called on the company to streamline its strategy and explore strategic alternatives. Bed Bath &amp; Beyond quickly reached an agreement and added new board members. The shares took a hit in mid-August when Mr. Cohen revealed that he had unloaded his entire stake.</p><p>That coincided with a stock sale by Mr. Arnal. On Aug. 16, the CFO sold about $1.4 million of his Bed Bath &amp; Beyond shares when the price briefly jumped above $20, according to a securities filing. The filing said the sales were made automatically under a prearranged plan that he had set up in April 2022. Such trading plans are commonly used by insiders to sell shares at predetermined prices or dates. Following the sale, Mr. Arnal still owned about 255,000 shares then worth about $5 million, according to the filing.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c1a83c87c6ac5da15aa03d04da36358a\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"700\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>A failed turnaround strategy at Bed Bath &amp; Beyond has left it with too much inventory, evaporating profits and a shrinking cash pile.</span></p><p>The 52-year-old told colleagues he was stressed from the attention that his stock sale generated, saying that people and some media outlets misinterpreted it and didn’t acknowledge that it was preplanned, said the people familiar with the matter.</p><p>On Aug. 23, he was named as a defendant in a shareholder’s suit, along with the company, a bank and Mr. Cohen. The lawsuit, seeking class-action status, was filed by an attorney in Washington, D.C., namedPengcheng Siclaiming about $100,000 in losses on his Bed Bath &amp; Beyond investment.</p><p>The suit alleged that Mr. Arnal and Mr. Cohen conspired to inflate the company’s share price. No evidence is offered in the 24-page lawsuit about conversations the suit alleged between Mr. Arnal and Mr. Cohen or how Mr. Si allegedly learned about them.</p><p>Mr. Cohen has previously declined to comment, and Mr. Arnal hadn’t responded to the suit before his death. Mr. Si declined to comment on the litigation and said in an email Wednesday that he wished to extend condolences to Mr. Arnal’s family.</p><p>Records show that Messrs. Cohen and Arnal had no direct communications and interacted only on conference calls that included other executives, according to some of the people familiar with the matter.</p><p>On a conference call last week, Mr. Arnal spoke carefully and calmly as he outlined plans to cut about 20% of corporate and supply-chain staff and close a fifth of the company’s namesake stores. He said that he had secured financing that would give the company about $500 million in additional liquidity and that he was still working to close the books on the quarter ended Aug. 27.</p><p>Seth Basham, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, who spoke with Mr. Arnal after the call, said it was business as usual. “There was nothing out of the ordinary,” he said.</p><p>Mr. Arnal grew up in Venezuela. His family was relatively poor and, at around 18 years old, he started importing trucks and selling them to locals at a profit, according to Mr. Zijderveld. He used the proceeds to pay for college, he said. Mr. Arnal got an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and a masters in finance from universities in Venezuela, according to his LinkedIn profile, and then joined P&amp;G.</p><p>At P&amp;G, he was known as a demanding boss with high standards and integrity, said Brian Cullen, who worked with Mr. Arnal at the consumer-products giant and is now an executive at Lithko Contracting LLC. “You should always present the facts,” Mr. Cullen recalls Mr. Arnal teaching him. “Finance people don’t sell.”</p><p>Mr. Arnal worked at P&amp;G for over 20 years, holding senior finance roles in the U.S. and Europe, before joining Walgreens Boots Alliance in 2017. He left Walgreens a year later. He had hoped to become finance chief of Walgreens’ Boots U.K. pharmacy chain, but the company hired a new finance chief shortly after Mr. Arnal joined, people familiar with the matter said.</p><p>At Avon, Mr. Arnal was intense, even by the standards of typically driven senior executives. “It was 24/7, ‘Let’s fix this thing,’” said Mr. Zijderveld, who recruited him to help with a turnaround of the beauty-products seller. “He was full of intensity. This is not a half-measure kind of guy.”</p><p>Mr. Arnal often put in long hours, then stayed out late with friends, and relished time with his wife and two adult daughters, both of whom now live in London, Mr. Zijderveld said.</p><p>The two executives worked together until Avon was acquired in early 2020. Mr. Zijderveld said he considers Mr. Arnal’s tenure to be a success. After the acquisition, Mr. Arnal wanted to be CFO of a big U.S. company, he said.</p><p>A few months later, Mr. Arnal landed the job at Bed Bath &amp; Beyond.</p></body></html>","source":"wsj_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Arnal had discussed taking a break before he diedBed Bath & Beyond board members didn’t want to change finance chiefs while the company was raising money.In the weeks before Gustavo Arnal took his own life, there was growing concern among Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. officials and directors over the demands being placed on the chief financial officer and the stress of the intensifying financial crisis at the home-goods chain, according to people familiar with the matter.Sue Gove, a board member who had taken over as interim chief executive officer in June, and some other board members thought Mr. Arnal was overwhelmed but didn’t want to replace the finance chief while the embattled retailer was in the midst of raising money, the people said.Mr. Arnal told people that he was stressed, his friends said. He was putting in 18-hour days while he worked on the company’s restructuring plans. He was also inundated with emails from individual investors and plaintiffs’ lawyers questioning an August sale of some of his holdings in Bed Bath & Beyond, the people said.Mr. Arnal was discussing with the company the possibility of taking a break, the people said. Company officials had calls about the topic before the Labor Day weekend and planned to pick up the discussions after the holiday, some of the people said.On the morning of Aug. 31, Ms. Gove, Mr. Arnal and other executives announced that they had secured fresh financing and briefed investors on a major restructuring. Two days later, Mr. Arnal died from a fall at the 57-story New York City skyscraper where he lived with his wife, police said. The medical examiner determined it was a suicide.Police said Mr. Arnal died from a fall at the New York City skyscraper where he lived.His death and a shareholder’s lawsuit alleging wrongdoing at the company have become tabloid fodder. The company is investigating and reviewing Mr. Arnal’s emails; company officials have seen no evidence of fraud or wrongdoing, some of the people said.The company has said that the suit is meritless and staff are mourning the loss of their colleague. Mr. Arnal’s family didn’t respond to requests for comment.“I could see the stress on him,” saidJan Zijderveld, the former chief executive of Avon Products, who had dinner with Mr. Arnal and his wife six weeks ago at a rooftop restaurant in Manhattan.Mr. Arnal was upbeat and animated throughout the meal, which stretched past 1 a.m., Mr. Zijderveld said. His friend said he was under pressure at work but didn’t discuss the details, said Mr. Zijderveld. “He’s the sort of guy who carries the world on his shoulders,” he said.Bed Bath & Beyond has about 800 stores around the U.S. The chain boasted 27 straight years of growth until 2019, when it started to lose customers to online shopping. That year,its founders and leaders were ousted by activist investors.The company has since been reeling from a failed turnaround strategy that left it with too much inventory, evaporating profits and a shrinking cash pile. The architect of the strategy, former CEO Mark Tritton, left in June, followed by other senior executives he had recruited to the company. Gone are the chief operating officer, chief merchant and chief accounting officer. Mr. Tritton declined to comment this week.Mr. Arnal, who started at the company in May 2020, was one of the few members of Mr. Tritton’s leadership team to keep his role this year. He was a polished finance executive who had spent two decades at Procter & Gamble Co. and worked several years in London as chief financial officer for Avon and in a senior finance role at Walgreens Boots Alliance.By the time Mr. Arnal arrived, Bed Bath & Beyond was in trouble. Its market value, which peaked above $17 billion in 2012, had shriveled to under $1 billion. The company’s business was upended by the Covid-19 pandemic: Stores were shut and supplies disrupted. Then it got caught up in the meme-stock mania, during which individual investors chased companies that Wall Street had left for dead.Ryan Cohen, the billionaire co-founder of online retailer Chewy Inc. and an activist investor, unveiled a stake in Bed Bath & Beyond in March 2022 and called on the company to streamline its strategy and explore strategic alternatives. Bed Bath & Beyond quickly reached an agreement and added new board members. The shares took a hit in mid-August when Mr. Cohen revealed that he had unloaded his entire stake.That coincided with a stock sale by Mr. Arnal. On Aug. 16, the CFO sold about $1.4 million of his Bed Bath & Beyond shares when the price briefly jumped above $20, according to a securities filing. The filing said the sales were made automatically under a prearranged plan that he had set up in April 2022. Such trading plans are commonly used by insiders to sell shares at predetermined prices or dates. Following the sale, Mr. Arnal still owned about 255,000 shares then worth about $5 million, according to the filing.A failed turnaround strategy at Bed Bath & Beyond has left it with too much inventory, evaporating profits and a shrinking cash pile.The 52-year-old told colleagues he was stressed from the attention that his stock sale generated, saying that people and some media outlets misinterpreted it and didn’t acknowledge that it was preplanned, said the people familiar with the matter.On Aug. 23, he was named as a defendant in a shareholder’s suit, along with the company, a bank and Mr. Cohen. The lawsuit, seeking class-action status, was filed by an attorney in Washington, D.C., namedPengcheng Siclaiming about $100,000 in losses on his Bed Bath & Beyond investment.The suit alleged that Mr. Arnal and Mr. Cohen conspired to inflate the company’s share price. No evidence is offered in the 24-page lawsuit about conversations the suit alleged between Mr. Arnal and Mr. Cohen or how Mr. Si allegedly learned about them.Mr. Cohen has previously declined to comment, and Mr. Arnal hadn’t responded to the suit before his death. Mr. Si declined to comment on the litigation and said in an email Wednesday that he wished to extend condolences to Mr. Arnal’s family.Records show that Messrs. Cohen and Arnal had no direct communications and interacted only on conference calls that included other executives, according to some of the people familiar with the matter.On a conference call last week, Mr. Arnal spoke carefully and calmly as he outlined plans to cut about 20% of corporate and supply-chain staff and close a fifth of the company’s namesake stores. He said that he had secured financing that would give the company about $500 million in additional liquidity and that he was still working to close the books on the quarter ended Aug. 27.Seth Basham, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, who spoke with Mr. Arnal after the call, said it was business as usual. “There was nothing out of the ordinary,” he said.Mr. Arnal grew up in Venezuela. His family was relatively poor and, at around 18 years old, he started importing trucks and selling them to locals at a profit, according to Mr. Zijderveld. He used the proceeds to pay for college, he said. Mr. Arnal got an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and a masters in finance from universities in Venezuela, according to his LinkedIn profile, and then joined P&G.At P&G, he was known as a demanding boss with high standards and integrity, said Brian Cullen, who worked with Mr. Arnal at the consumer-products giant and is now an executive at Lithko Contracting LLC. “You should always present the facts,” Mr. Cullen recalls Mr. Arnal teaching him. “Finance people don’t sell.”Mr. Arnal worked at P&G for over 20 years, holding senior finance roles in the U.S. and Europe, before joining Walgreens Boots Alliance in 2017. He left Walgreens a year later. He had hoped to become finance chief of Walgreens’ Boots U.K. pharmacy chain, but the company hired a new finance chief shortly after Mr. Arnal joined, people familiar with the matter said.At Avon, Mr. Arnal was intense, even by the standards of typically driven senior executives. “It was 24/7, ‘Let’s fix this thing,’” said Mr. Zijderveld, who recruited him to help with a turnaround of the beauty-products seller. “He was full of intensity. This is not a half-measure kind of guy.”Mr. Arnal often put in long hours, then stayed out late with friends, and relished time with his wife and two adult daughters, both of whom now live in London, Mr. Zijderveld said.The two executives worked together until Avon was acquired in early 2020. Mr. Zijderveld said he considers Mr. Arnal’s tenure to be a success. After the acquisition, Mr. Arnal wanted to be CFO of a big U.S. company, he said.A few months later, Mr. Arnal landed the job at Bed Bath & Beyond.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":201,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9931759644,"gmtCreate":1662513768688,"gmtModify":1676537077256,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9931759644","repostId":"2265403013","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2265403013","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1662521565,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2265403013?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-07 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Is Expected at Apple's \"Far Out\" Fall Event?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2265403013","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 6 (Reuters) - Apple Inc will likely unveil a new line of iPhones, Watch Series 8 and other prod","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Sept 6 (Reuters) - Apple Inc will likely unveil a new line of iPhones, Watch Series 8 and other products on Wednesday at an event awaited by Wall Street and its legions of customers.</p><p>The event, &#34;Far Out&#34;, will begin at 1700 GMT at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple&#39;s headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Amid the highest inflation rates in decades, there have been concerns about consumers growing more cost-conscious — especially lower-wage earners — but Apple is expected to keep its standard iPhone models at the same starting price while increasing the base $999 and $1,199 prices on its iPhone Pro and Pro Max.</p><p>“While the base iPhone will stay at the same price we believe a $100 price increase on the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max is likely in store given component price increases as well as added functionality on this new release,” Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a recent note to clients.</p><p>The company is expected to debut the new iPhone family at a Wednesday event that will kick off at 1 p.m. Eastern time. Apple’s smartphones are its biggest business by far, bringing in more than $162 billion through three quarters of the company’s fiscal year, more than 57% of Apple’s revenue total.</p><p>But The planned iPhone 14 debut comes amid uncertainty about how smartphone demand will hold up in the macroeconomic climate. IDC recently projected a 6.5% decline in global smartphone shipments this year, after shipments underperformed their estimates while declining for four quarters in a row. iPhone demand seems to have held up better than the overall market, however, and Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said on the company’s last earnings call that he hadn’t noticed “obvious evidence of macroeconomic impact” on the iPhone.</p><p>Other than the price, the biggest news out of Apple’s event could be what isn’t mentioned, or gets taken away. Few observers expect Apple to show off its highly anticipated next product category, a headset, and Apple could be saying goodbye to the iPhone Mini and the infamous “notch.”</p><p>Apple is expected to do away with the mini version of its base iPhone, and it could add a 6.7-inch configuration for the first time, according to Bloomberg News. Also, five years after Apple introduced a “notch” at the top of its iPhone X model that wasn’t exactly a fan favorite, Bloomberg reports it could finally be going away with the iPhone 14 update in favor of “hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts for the front camera and Face ID sensors.”</p><p>A Steve Jobs-worthy “One More Thing” that details Apple’s next big invention has long been absent from iPhone events, but his successor might have something up his sleeve that fits the bill. Apple has been developing a headset that is expected to integrate long-gestating mixed-reality technology, which Cook has long called “a big idea like the smartphone.” Experts expect it to reach consumers in 2023 at the earliest, but few analysts believe its first appearance will be at Wednesday’s event, even as Meta Platforms Inc. prepares to reveal its next-generation VR tech.</p><p>Given a lack of chatter about the device more recently, it’s perhaps unlikely that Apple is ready to trot the product out for viewing in September—or else the silence means that Apple has done a good job of keeping the wraps on its “one more thing.” Bloomberg reported in May that the company “aimed to unveil the headset as early as the end of this year or sometime next year, with a consumer release planned for 2023.”</p><p>Those holding out for foldable and flip phones like the models Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. debuted a few weeks back will likely have to keep waiting for that sort of launch at Apple, but iPhone fans should expect a faster processor and the end of a much-mocked design element.</p><p>There could be a long awaited announcement of satellite connection technology for iPhones, which would allow people to communicate even while far off the beaten path. The move was expected last year and was not announced, and a similar setup is happening into this year, with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo writing this week that “Apple had completed hardware tests for this feature,” but “whether iPhone 14 will offer satellite communication service depends on whether Apple and operators can settle the business model.”</p><p>The iPhone Pro models are expected to get the majority of the upgrades, relative to the regular iPhone models. Bloomberg News has reported that Apple plans to introduce a 48-megapixel camera, a faster chip, and better battery life for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. MacRumors notes that the enhanced camera would let more light pass through the lens, something that could allow for better image quality, including when shooting with the company’s Portrait Mode feature.</p><p>The iPhone 14 Pro could also feature the new A16 chip, which MacRumors has said may help the company power the new camera, as well as the always-on display that some Apple watchers are expecting to finally see on the latest model. While Apple is thought to be planning chip upgrades for the Pro models, 9to5Mac expects that the company could stick with the same A15 chip for the base iPhone 14 line that was used in the iPhone 13 family.</p><p>Also expected at the Wednesday event is an update to the Apple Watch lineup. Bloomberg reports that Apple is planning to introduce an Apple Watch SE featuring a faster chip, an Apple Watch Series 8 containing a body-temperature sensor, and a pro-level model.

CEO&#39;s orbit.</p><p>Mr. Musk was increasingly relying on a new adviser, a 34-year-old, Russian-born ex-professional gambler named Igor Kurganov. Mr. Kurganov spent some of the pandemic sleeping in Mr. Musk&#39;s home, where they chatted late into the night about how the world&#39;s richest person might use his fortune to help shape the planet through a giving strategy known as &#34;effective altruism.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Kurganov had no experience in finance or security but was suddenly a central figure in both areas for Mr. Musk. He had moved from London to Texas and replaced some of Mr. Musk&#39;s protection detail with new hires of his own. Not long after, the Tesla CEO told Mr. Birchall that he was so taken by the younger man&#39;s ideas that he wanted to leave him in charge of his charitable giving, dispersing funds from Mr. Musk&#39;s vast private fortune, currently around $230 billion, as he saw fit.</p><p>&#34;Elon,&#34; Mr. Birchall told his boss, according to three people briefed afterward. &#34;You can&#39;t.&#34;</p><p>The clash between the two men, and their dueling efforts to gain the upper hand with Mr. Musk, provides a peek into the often tumultuous private workings of Mr. Musk&#39;s inner circle. As Mr. Musk&#39;s breakneck, $44 billion bid for Twitter shows, the entrepreneur can be prone to quick decisions, ones that he can reverse just as quickly as he makes them. That deal is now in peril, with Mr. Musk trying to walk away and Twitter suing him to complete it.</p><p>All the while he is egged on by a rotating crew of investors, underlings and ever-changing friends whose power and personal wealth is closely tied to their proximity to Mr. Musk, according to people who do business with him.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> men in particular have pulled the Tesla CEO in opposing directions.</p><p>Mr. Birchall is an Eagle Scout and practicing Mormon who doesn&#39;t smoke or drink and grew up traveling California as part of a song-and-dance troupe called &#34;The Birchall Family Singers.&#34; He declined to be interviewed through a representative of Mr. Musk&#39;s foundation.</p><p>Mr. Kurganov is a high-roller with a reported more than $18 million in poker winnings, with long hair and beard and a peaceful demeanor. He has said in a podcast interview that he dropped out of college because he was smoking too much marijuana. He didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Last winter, Mr. Musk came to a compromise between the two. He allowed Mr. Kurganov to oversee $5.7 billion in Tesla shares that the CEO pledged late last year to eventually donate to charity. The rest of Mr. Musk&#39;s overall fortune remained under Mr. Birchall&#39;s purview.</p><p>That decision wasn&#39;t, however, the end of the fracas.</p><p>This account is based on interviews with more than a dozen people close to Messrs. Musk, Birchall and Kurganov, including associates of the Musk Foundation and investors.</p><h2>Ultimate fixer</h2><p>For a man of immense resources, Mr. Musk is a minnow in the world of big-dollar philanthropy. Compared with other magnates such as Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos, whose wealth, like Mr. Musk&#39;s, is tied up in shares of their companies, Mr. Musk has said little concrete about his approach to giving. He didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Mr. Musk&#39;s personal foundation gave away $23.6 million in fiscal 2020, the most recent year for which data is available, filings show.

CEO&#39;s orbit.</p><p>Mr. Musk was increasingly relying on a new adviser, a 34-year-old, Russian-born ex-professional gambler named Igor Kurganov. Mr. Kurganov spent some of the pandemic sleeping in Mr. Musk&#39;s home, where they chatted late into the night about how the world&#39;s richest person might use his fortune to help shape the planet through a giving strategy known as &#34;effective altruism.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Kurganov had no experience in finance or security but was suddenly a central figure in both areas for Mr. Musk. He had moved from London to Texas and replaced some of Mr. Musk&#39;s protection detail with new hires of his own. Not long after, the Tesla CEO told Mr. Birchall that he was so taken by the younger man&#39;s ideas that he wanted to leave him in charge of his charitable giving, dispersing funds from Mr. Musk&#39;s vast private fortune, currently around $230 billion, as he saw fit.</p><p>&#34;Elon,&#34; Mr. Birchall told his boss, according to three people briefed afterward. &#34;You can&#39;t.&#34;</p><p>The clash between the two men, and their dueling efforts to gain the upper hand with Mr. Musk, provides a peek into the often tumultuous private workings of Mr. Musk&#39;s inner circle.

That deal is now in peril, with Mr. Musk trying to walk away and Twitter suing him to complete it.</p><p>All the while he is egged on by a rotating crew of investors, underlings and ever-changing friends whose power and personal wealth is closely tied to their proximity to Mr. Musk, according to people who do business with him.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> men in particular have pulled the Tesla CEO in opposing directions.</p><p>Mr. Birchall is an Eagle Scout and practicing Mormon who doesn&#39;t smoke or drink and grew up traveling California as part of a song-and-dance troupe called &#34;The Birchall Family Singers.&#34; He declined to be interviewed through a representative of Mr. Musk&#39;s foundation.</p><p>Mr. Kurganov is a high-roller with a reported more than $18 million in poker winnings, with long hair and beard and a peaceful demeanor. He has said in a podcast interview that he dropped out of college because he was smoking too much marijuana. He didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Last winter, Mr. Musk came to a compromise between the two.

The S&P 500 plunged nearly 17% in October 2008 after the implosion of Lehman Brothers, following a 9.1% fall in September.\"I think that any years where you've had a very difficult year for stocks, seasonality should discount it, because there are some other macro forces [that are] pushing on stocks, and you need to see more clarity on those macro forces that are pushing stocks down,\" Saglimbene told MarketWatch on Friday. \"Frankly, I don't think we're going to see a lot of visibility at least over the next few months.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":790,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9042623497,"gmtCreate":1656469915719,"gmtModify":1676535835991,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good to knw&nbsp;","listText":"Good to knw&nbsp;","text":"Good to knw","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9042623497","repostId":"1175550998","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9931759644,"gmtCreate":1662513768688,"gmtModify":1676537077256,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9931759644","repostId":"2265403013","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2265403013","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1662521565,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2265403013?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-07 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Is Expected at Apple's \"Far Out\" Fall Event?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2265403013","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 6 (Reuters) - Apple Inc will likely unveil a new line of iPhones, Watch Series 8 and other prod","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Sept 6 (Reuters) - Apple Inc will likely unveil a new line of iPhones, Watch Series 8 and other products on Wednesday at an event awaited by Wall Street and its legions of customers.</p><p>The event, &#34;Far Out&#34;, will begin at 1700 GMT at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple&#39;s headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Bloomberg News has reported that Apple plans to introduce a 48-megapixel camera, a faster chip, and better battery life for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Its case is expected to be water and sweat resistant, with support for magsafe wireless charging.Some reports suggest the case could have a type-C port.AUGMENTED REALITY/VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSETS?There has been curiosity among investors and fans about a mixed reality headset, but analysts do not expect the product to be launched until next year because of ongoing supply chain bottlenecks.\"There could be some clues around a new AR/VR product although unlikely to be launched before 2023,\" BofA Securities' Mohan said.Here is a list of Apple launches at previous events:Past EventsDateProducts launchedWorldwide Developer's ConferenceJune 6, 2022MacBooks with M2 chip\"Peak Performance\"March 8, 2022iPhone SE, iPad Air, Mac Studio, Studio Display,\"Unleashed\"Oct. 18, 2021MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, AirPods 3rd Gen\"California Streaming\"Sept. 14, 2021iPhone 13 series, iPad with A13, iPad Mini with A15, Apple Watch Series 7\"Spring Loaded\"April 20, 2021iPad Pro with M1, AirTag, iPhone 12 and 12 mini in purpleAlso Read: Apple iPhone 14 event: A price hike is expected, but will there be ‘one more thing’?  Source: MarketWatchApple Inc.’s coming iPhone 14 lineup might not bring too many new features, but there could be one big change in store.After holding steady on iPhone prices a year ago, some analysts expect that Apple will increase the price of its iPhone 14 Pro models this year amid camera, chip, and design enhancements—as well as lingering pressure from supply costs and the strong U.S. dollar. Amid the highest inflation rates in decades, there have been concerns about consumers growing more cost-conscious — especially lower-wage earners — but Apple is expected to keep its standard iPhone models at the same starting price while increasing the base $999 and $1,199 prices on its iPhone Pro and Pro Max.“While the base iPhone will stay at the same price we believe a $100 price increase on the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max is likely in store given component price increases as well as added functionality on this new release,” Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a recent note to clients.The company is expected to debut the new iPhone family at a Wednesday event that will kick off at 1 p.m. Eastern time. Apple’s smartphones are its biggest business by far, bringing in more than $162 billion through three quarters of the company’s fiscal year, more than 57% of Apple’s revenue total.But The planned iPhone 14 debut comes amid uncertainty about how smartphone demand will hold up in the macroeconomic climate. IDC recently projected a 6.5% decline in global smartphone shipments this year, after shipments underperformed their estimates while declining for four quarters in a row. iPhone demand seems to have held up better than the overall market, however, and Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said on the company’s last earnings call that he hadn’t noticed “obvious evidence of macroeconomic impact” on the iPhone.Other than the price, the biggest news out of Apple’s event could be what isn’t mentioned, or gets taken away. Few observers expect Apple to show off its highly anticipated next product category, a headset, and Apple could be saying goodbye to the iPhone Mini and the infamous “notch.”Apple is expected to do away with the mini version of its base iPhone, and it could add a 6.7-inch configuration for the first time, according to Bloomberg News. Also, five years after Apple introduced a “notch” at the top of its iPhone X model that wasn’t exactly a fan favorite, Bloomberg reports it could finally be going away with the iPhone 14 update in favor of “hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts for the front camera and Face ID sensors.”A Steve Jobs-worthy “One More Thing” that details Apple’s next big invention has long been absent from iPhone events, but his successor might have something up his sleeve that fits the bill. Apple has been developing a headset that is expected to integrate long-gestating mixed-reality technology, which Cook has long called “a big idea like the smartphone.” Experts expect it to reach consumers in 2023 at the earliest, but few analysts believe its first appearance will be at Wednesday’s event, even as Meta Platforms Inc. prepares to reveal its next-generation VR tech.Given a lack of chatter about the device more recently, it’s perhaps unlikely that Apple is ready to trot the product out for viewing in September—or else the silence means that Apple has done a good job of keeping the wraps on its “one more thing.” Bloomberg reported in May that the company “aimed to unveil the headset as early as the end of this year or sometime next year, with a consumer release planned for 2023.”Those holding out for foldable and flip phones like the models Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. debuted a few weeks back will likely have to keep waiting for that sort of launch at Apple, but iPhone fans should expect a faster processor and the end of a much-mocked design element.There could be a long awaited announcement of satellite connection technology for iPhones, which would allow people to communicate even while far off the beaten path. The move was expected last year and was not announced, and a similar setup is happening into this year, with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo writing this week that “Apple had completed hardware tests for this feature,” but “whether iPhone 14 will offer satellite communication service depends on whether Apple and operators can settle the business model.”The iPhone Pro models are expected to get the majority of the upgrades, relative to the regular iPhone models. Bloomberg News has reported that Apple plans to introduce a 48-megapixel camera, a faster chip, and better battery life for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. MacRumors notes that the enhanced camera would let more light pass through the lens, something that could allow for better image quality, including when shooting with the company’s Portrait Mode feature.The iPhone 14 Pro could also feature the new A16 chip, which MacRumors has said may help the company power the new camera, as well as the always-on display that some Apple watchers are expecting to finally see on the latest model. While Apple is thought to be planning chip upgrades for the Pro models, 9to5Mac expects that the company could stick with the same A15 chip for the base iPhone 14 line that was used in the iPhone 13 family.Also expected at the Wednesday event is an update to the Apple Watch lineup. Bloomberg reports that Apple is planning to introduce an Apple Watch SE featuring a faster chip, an Apple Watch Series 8 containing a body-temperature sensor, and a pro-level model. Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani said that the hypothetical Apple Watch Pro could bring “more battery life, a larger screen, and new fitness features.”Apple’s iPhone event comes a week earlier in September than its one last year, suggesting to Evercore’s Daryanani that the company might also make the phones available for purchase sooner. For investors, that means Apple’s September quarter could feature an extra week of iPhone sales relative to last year’s.Apple stock has declined 10.9% so far this year, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average — which counts Apple among its 30 components — has declined 12.9% and the S&P 500 index has fallen 16.8%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":311,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9908718633,"gmtCreate":1659436943424,"gmtModify":1705980345028,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hold for now&nbsp;","listText":"Hold for now&nbsp;","text":"Hold for now","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9908718633","repostId":"1188690484","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":57,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9907066844,"gmtCreate":1660108941591,"gmtModify":1703478039989,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9907066844","repostId":"2258269986","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2258269986","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1660107865,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2258269986?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-10 13:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Musk Sells Tesla Shares Worth $6.9 Billion, Cites Chance of Forced Twitter Deal","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2258269986","media":"Reuters","summary":"Aug 10 (Reuters) - Tesla IncChief Executive Officer Elon Musk sold $6.9 billion worth of shares in the electric vehicle maker, saying the funds could be used to finance a potential Twitter deal if he ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Aug 10 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk sold $6.9 billion worth of shares in the electric vehicle maker, saying the funds could be used to finance a potential Twitter deal if he loses a legal battle with the social media platform.</p><p>&#34;In the (hopefully unlikely) event that Twitter forces this deal to close *and* some equity partners don’t come through, it is important to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock,&#34; he said in a tweet late on Tuesday.</p><p>Musk in early July tore up his April 25 agreement to buy Twitter for $44 billion.

always useful to prepare an umbrella before it rains.Likewise, when it comes to stocks, it is useful to maintain a watchlist of stocks before a market crash appears.By doing prior research and understanding how these businesses work, you will have greater confidence to buy them should their share prices dip.With the recent bear market in the NASDAQ for growth stocks, some investors may be wondering if the same could happen over in the Singapore market.During times of economic stress, it makes sense to stick with well-run companies such as blue-chip stocks and REITs with strong sponsors.Here are five Singapore stocks I will gladly scoop up should there be a bear market.DBS Group (SGX: D05)When the economy takes a sharp dive, it’s natural to seek shelter in familiar names.DBS is one of the most reputable banks in the region and is Singapore’s largest lender.The group has gone through numerous economic cycles and has come out stronger each time.2021 was no different as the bank reported a record net profit of S$6.8 billion, driven by healthy loan book growth and higher fee income.The bank also paid out an interim quarterly dividend of S$0.36 per share for its most recent fiscal 2022’s first quarter (1Q2022), bringing annualised FY2022 dividend to S$1.44.Shares of DBS sport a forward dividend yield of 4.8%.The bank’s strong franchise, along with rising interest rates, should stand it in good stead to do well in the future.Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U)Moving on to REITs, a prime candidate for long-term ownership is Mapletree Logistics Trust, or MLT.The logistics REIT owns 183 properties in eight countries with assets under management (AUM) of S$13.1 billion as of 31 March 2022.MLT has demonstrated its resilience by declaring a distribution per unit (DPU) of S$0.8787 for its fiscal 2022 (FY2022), up 5.5% year on year.Gross revenue for FY2022 increased by 20.9% year on year to S$678.5 million while net property income rose 18.6% year on year, underpinned by stable operations and acquisitions.MLT had announced a slew of acquisitions for FY2022 such as a logistics centre in South Korea and a portfolio of 16 logistics properties in China and Vietnam.With aggregate leverage at 36.8% along with a low cost of debt at 2.2%, the REIT looks poised for more acquisitions to grow its DPU further.CapitaLand Investment Limited (SGX: 9CI)CapitaLand Investment Limited, or CLI, is a real estate investment manager with S$124 billion of AUM and S$86 billion of funds under management as of 31 March 2022.The property group has two main pillars of growth – increasing its funds under management (FUM) and fee-related earnings (FRE).These pillars are achieved through three main strategies – fund management, lodging management, and capital management.CLI remains on track for 1Q2022, with revenue from its fee income-related businesses rising 17% year on year.For its real estate investment business, 1Q2022 revenue saw a 28% year on year jump to S$403 million.CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (SGX: C38U)CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, or CICT, owns both retail and commercial properties.The REIT’s portfolio comprises 20 properties in Singapore, two in Germany and two in Sydney, Australia, with an AUM of S$22.9 billion as of 24 March 2022.CICT’s DPU improved from S$0.0869 in FY2020 to S$0.104 in FY2021, giving units of the REIT a trailing distribution yield of 4.7%.The REIT maintained a portfolio occupancy of 93.6% as of 31 March 2022.Meanwhile, CICT recently completed the acquisition of a 70% interest in CapitaSky, a high-quality Grade A office building in Singapore.Shopper traffic at CICT’s malls saw a slight 5.3% year on year dip but tenant sales inched up 0.6% year on year for 1Q2022.Venture Corporation Limited (SGX: V03)If you’re looking for a company to latch on to the global electronics boom, look no further than Venture Corporation.The group is a provider of technology products, solutions and services with over 12,000 employees worldwide.Venture enjoyed broad-based growth across many of its domains such as medical devices, life sciences, genomics, and advanced payment systems.As a result, revenue for 1Q2022 surged by 29.5% year on year to S$889.3 million while net profit rose 28.6% year on year to S$84 million.The group maintains a sanguine outlook despite the challenge of supply chain disruptions.Demand is expected to remain healthy while new product launches have been well-received by end customers.The group continues to invest in new capabilities to ensure it stays abreast of the latest technological trends.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":20,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9912830781,"gmtCreate":1664790399944,"gmtModify":1676537508838,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

a better investment than the other two at current levels.</li></ul><p><b>Article Thesis</b></p><p>Intel (INTC), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) all reported their most recent quarterly results over the last couple of weeks. The performance during that period was very uneven, however. One of these companies, AMD, clearly outperformed its peers and seems to be well-positioned for strong results in the current year. As it is also not trading at a high valuation, AMD looks like the best pick among these three today.</p><p><b>3 Semi Stocks With Very Different Results</b></p><p>Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD all reported their most recent quarterly results over the last two weeks, with the addendum that in NVIDIA&#39;s case, the release was a pre-earnings announcement where it reported its revenue but not its profits.</p><p>Results in the respective second quarters of these three companies were very different. Intel, the worst performer during that period, saw its revenue plunge by 17%, which can only be described as disastrous. A more in-depth discussion of Intel&#39;s weak quarter is available here. But in short, the company missed estimates on both lines, revised its guidance downwards, lost market share, and the free cash flow picture worsened dramatically. Intel has been the company with the least growth and the lowest valuation among these three peers, thus it is not too surprising to see it perform worse than AMD and NVIDIA growth-wise. But still, the results during the period were worse than expected, even though expectations weren&#39;t very high.</p><p>NVIDIA is the most expensive among these three chip stocks, which was mostly the result of its excellent growth in recent years. The company saw its business grow massively on the back of strong gaming demand, crypto miners buying its GPUs, AI tailwinds, and so on.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/240e0c0f9dc642c746e37034b351e18d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NVDA Revenue (Annual)data by YCharts</p><p>Over the last three years, NVIDIA has slightly beaten AMD when it comes to growing the top line, whereas Intel has not really managed to add to its sales in a meaningful way. That, combined with the strong market outlook for NVIDIA&#39;s AI chips, made the market value NVIDIA at a pretty high valuation. When NVIDIA was trading at more than $300 per share last year, its valuation arguably was crazy high, but even today, NVIDIA remains a pretty pricy stock -- shares are valued at 50x this year&#39;s expected net profit. The pre-announced results for the most recent quarter do not really justify a valuation this high, one could argue.</p><p>The company stated that it would generate revenues of around $6.7 billion during the quarter, down by double-digits year over year. On a two-year stacked basis, revenues are still up quite a lot, which is not the case for Intel, but the revenue decline nevertheless isn&#39;t good news at all. Looking more closely, the data center business performed very well, as NVIDIA saw its sales grow by 61% in that unit. AMD&#39;s data center sales were very strong, too, whereas Intel&#39;s performance in that space was weak -- it seems clear that NVIDIA and AMD are taking share from Intel, a trend that could continue.</p><p>NVIDIA&#39;s gaming business, however, suffered from a major revenue pullback. To some extent, that can be explained by the fact that consumers aren&#39;t investing as much in new hardware as they did during the peak of the pandemic -- with lockdowns gone, they want to go out instead of sitting at home in front of their computers. But the crypto winter also plays a role in the gaming revenue pullback, as NVIDIA&#39;s GPUs are being used to mine cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH-USD). That has become less profitable as cryptos plunged, which led to lower demand for new chips.</p><p>In the long run, NVIDIA will most likely do well thanks to its strong position in data centers, autonomous driving, and so on. But at least for now, the company is not performing too well, which is why analysts have lowered their earnings per share estimates for the current year dramatically:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7ace4fb850ed30b94e20e344e75aee10\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"100\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>EPS estimates for the current year dropped by a hefty 30% over the last month. And yet, NVIDIA&#39;s shares climbed by around 10% over the same time frame. I released a bullish article on NVIDIA in July, but my stance has become less bullish since -- shares gained more than 10% and have outperformed the broad market since, and at the same time, the near-term outlook worsened. Locking in some gains might not be the worst of ideas, I believe.</p><p>AMD, on the other hand, has reported excellent results for its most recent quarter, and at the same time, it&#39;s quite attractively priced, I believe. Revenues jumped by more than 70% year over year. Even when we back out the impact of M&amp;A (mainly the Xilinx acquisition, which was an all-stock deal), AMD saw its sales soar. Revenue per share was up by around 50%, with data center revenue being the main source of additional sales. AMD also beat expectations for both lines.</p><p>Even better, the company&#39;s outlook for the remainder of the current year is pretty healthy as well. The company generated revenues of $12.4 billion during H1 and guides for full year revenues of around $26.3 billion. That means that revenue in H2 should come in around $14 billion, up double-digits from H1. At a time when many market participants are fearing a semiconductor downturn, caused by factors such as a recession, AMD is guiding towards ongoing compelling growth. That differentiates it from its peers NVIDIA and Intel, which are not seen growing by double-digits during the remainder of the year. In fact, Intel&#39;s and NVIDIA&#39;s shareholders might be quite happy if their companies managed to keep revenues flat during the second half of the year.</p><p>And yet, while AMD is the best performer from a growth perspective by far, it&#39;s not the most expensive among these three companies at all:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/423ed0fdb810156cab90fc76a5160581\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"943\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>INTC PE Ratio (Forward)data by YCharts</p><p>AMD is more expensive than Intel right now, but that seems more than justified based on AMD&#39;s way better growth, market share gains, stronger data center position, and stronger free cash flow generation. At the same time, AMD is way cheaper than NVIDIA -- based on forecasted profits for this year, NVIDIA trades at a more than 100% premium relative to AMD, which does not seem justified to me.</p><p>So from a growth and value perspective, AMD looks like the best pick among these three major semiconductor companies right now. It&#39;s growing faster than the other two, has a better near-term/H2 outlook, and yet does not seem expensive relative to its underlying performance and potential.</p><p><b>Is AMD A Good Buy Today?</b></p><p>Due to the aforementioned reasons, I think that Advanced Micro Devices is the most favorable investment among these three right now. But that does not necessarily mean that buying it right now must be a great choice. Shares have risen by ~40% from the lows seen earlier this year, and shares are also up by double-digits since we called AMD a Buy in April (while the market is flat since then).</p><p>I do believe that it might not be the perfect time to enter a position now, as shares have climbed considerably in recent weeks. But for someone with a longer-term outlook, AMD should still be a very solid investment at around $100 per share. Analysts are expecting that AMD will earn around $4.90 next year. The company has strong growth potential in the data center space via further market share gains, e.g. due to the company&#39;s introduction of new products such as its fifth-generation EPYC chips (&#34;Turin&#34;) that will launch in 2024. On top of that, healthy market growth in the data center space would allow AMD to grow its business meaningfully even without market share gains. New product launches in other categories and the company&#39;s buybacks -- the current program from this year covers 5% of its market capitalization -- will add additional earnings per share growth potential. All in all, a 12% earnings per share growth rate seems quite achievable over the next five years, I believe -- it&#39;s possible that actual growth will come in way ahead of that. But even with just 12% annual earnings per share growth, 2027&#39;s EPS would total around $7.70 -- put a 21x earnings multiple on that, and AMD is a $160 stock five years from now, which would make for pretty solid returns of 10% a year. If actual earnings per share growth comes in at 15%, which would still be way below the growth rate from the last couple of years, annual returns easily be in the low-teens range.</p><p>So from a timing perspective, right now is not the best time to enter a position -- the stock was considerably lower not too long ago, and might revisit those levels again in case the broad market turns lower. But despite that, it&#39;s reasonable to assume that AMD will deliver solid returns over the next couple of years, which means that AMD is far from a bad investment at current prices.</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>Intel, AMD, And NVIDIA: Why One Clearly Beats The Rest</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\">\nIntel, AMD, And NVIDIA: Why One Clearly Beats The Rest\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-23 09:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4535871-amd-stock-beats-nvidia-intel><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryIntel, AMD, and NVIDIA had very different quarters.One company easily beats the other two performance-wise, making it the most favorable pick today.I'll layout why I believe that one of these ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4535871-amd-stock-beats-nvidia-intel\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMD":"美国超微公司","NVDA":"英伟达","INTC":"英特尔"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4535871-amd-stock-beats-nvidia-intel","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1168024751","content_text":"SummaryIntel, AMD, and NVIDIA had very different quarters.One company easily beats the other two performance-wise, making it the most favorable pick today.I'll layout why I believe that one of these is a better investment than the other two at current levels.Article ThesisIntel (INTC), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) all reported their most recent quarterly results over the last couple of weeks.

Intel, the worst performer during that period, saw its revenue plunge by 17%, which can only be described as disastrous. A more in-depth discussion of Intel's weak quarter is available here. But in short, the company missed estimates on both lines, revised its guidance downwards, lost market share, and the free cash flow picture worsened dramatically. Intel has been the company with the least growth and the lowest valuation among these three peers, thus it is not too surprising to see it perform worse than AMD and NVIDIA growth-wise. But still, the results during the period were worse than expected, even though expectations weren't very high.NVIDIA is the most expensive among these three chip stocks, which was mostly the result of its excellent growth in recent years. The company saw its business grow massively on the back of strong gaming demand, crypto miners buying its GPUs, AI tailwinds, and so on.NVDA Revenue (Annual)data by YChartsOver the last three years, NVIDIA has slightly beaten AMD when it comes to growing the top line, whereas Intel has not really managed to add to its sales in a meaningful way. That, combined with the strong market outlook for NVIDIA's AI chips, made the market value NVIDIA at a pretty high valuation. When NVIDIA was trading at more than $300 per share last year, its valuation arguably was crazy high, but even today, NVIDIA remains a pretty pricy stock -- shares are valued at 50x this year's expected net profit. The pre-announced results for the most recent quarter do not really justify a valuation this high, one could argue.The company stated that it would generate revenues of around $6.7 billion during the quarter, down by double-digits year over year. On a two-year stacked basis, revenues are still up quite a lot, which is not the case for Intel, but the revenue decline nevertheless isn't good news at all. Looking more closely, the data center business performed very well, as NVIDIA saw its sales grow by 61% in that unit. AMD's data center sales were very strong, too, whereas Intel's performance in that space was weak -- it seems clear that NVIDIA and AMD are taking share from Intel, a trend that could continue.NVIDIA's gaming business, however, suffered from a major revenue pullback. To some extent, that can be explained by the fact that consumers aren't investing as much in new hardware as they did during the peak of the pandemic -- with lockdowns gone, they want to go out instead of sitting at home in front of their computers. But the crypto winter also plays a role in the gaming revenue pullback, as NVIDIA's GPUs are being used to mine cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH-USD). That has become less profitable as cryptos plunged, which led to lower demand for new chips.In the long run, NVIDIA will most likely do well thanks to its strong position in data centers, autonomous driving, and so on. But at least for now, the company is not performing too well, which is why analysts have lowered their earnings per share estimates for the current year dramatically:Seeking AlphaEPS estimates for the current year dropped by a hefty 30% over the last month. And yet, NVIDIA's shares climbed by around 10% over the same time frame. I released a bullish article on NVIDIA in July, but my stance has become less bullish since -- shares gained more than 10% and have outperformed the broad market since, and at the same time, the near-term outlook worsened. Locking in some gains might not be the worst of ideas, I believe.AMD, on the other hand, has reported excellent results for its most recent quarter, and at the same time, it's quite attractively priced, I believe. Revenues jumped by more than 70% year over year. Even when we back out the impact of M&A (mainly the Xilinx acquisition, which was an all-stock deal), AMD saw its sales soar. Revenue per share was up by around 50%, with data center revenue being the main source of additional sales. AMD also beat expectations for both lines.Even better, the company's outlook for the remainder of the current year is pretty healthy as well. The company generated revenues of $12.4 billion during H1 and guides for full year revenues of around $26.3 billion. That means that revenue in H2 should come in around $14 billion, up double-digits from H1. At a time when many market participants are fearing a semiconductor downturn, caused by factors such as a recession, AMD is guiding towards ongoing compelling growth. That differentiates it from its peers NVIDIA and Intel, which are not seen growing by double-digits during the remainder of the year. In fact, Intel's and NVIDIA's shareholders might be quite happy if their companies managed to keep revenues flat during the second half of the year.And yet, while AMD is the best performer from a growth perspective by far, it's not the most expensive among these three companies at all:INTC PE Ratio (Forward)data by YChartsAMD is more expensive than Intel right now, but that seems more than justified based on AMD's way better growth, market share gains, stronger data center position, and stronger free cash flow generation. At the same time, AMD is way cheaper than NVIDIA -- based on forecasted profits for this year, NVIDIA trades at a more than 100% premium relative to AMD, which does not seem justified to me.So from a growth and value perspective, AMD looks like the best pick among these three major semiconductor companies right now. It's growing faster than the other two, has a better near-term/H2 outlook, and yet does not seem expensive relative to its underlying performance and potential.Is AMD A Good Buy Today?Due to the aforementioned reasons, I think that Advanced Micro Devices is the most favorable investment among these three right now. But that does not necessarily mean that buying it right now must be a great choice. Shares have risen by ~40% from the lows seen earlier this year, and shares are also up by double-digits since we called AMD a Buy in April (while the market is flat since then).I do believe that it might not be the perfect time to enter a position now, as shares have climbed considerably in recent weeks. But for someone with a longer-term outlook, AMD should still be a very solid investment at around $100 per share. Analysts are expecting that AMD will earn around $4.90 next year. The company has strong growth potential in the data center space via further market share gains, e.g. due to the company's introduction of new products such as its fifth-generation EPYC chips (\"Turin\") that will launch in 2024. On top of that, healthy market growth in the data center space would allow AMD to grow its business meaningfully even without market share gains. New product launches in other categories and the company's buybacks -- the current program from this year covers 5% of its market capitalization -- will add additional earnings per share growth potential. All in all, a 12% earnings per share growth rate seems quite achievable over the next five years, I believe -- it's possible that actual growth will come in way ahead of that. But even with just 12% annual earnings per share growth, 2027's EPS would total around $7.70 -- put a 21x earnings multiple on that, and AMD is a $160 stock five years from now, which would make for pretty solid returns of 10% a year. If actual earnings per share growth comes in at 15%, which would still be way below the growth rate from the last couple of years, annual returns easily be in the low-teens range.So from a timing perspective, right now is not the best time to enter a position -- the stock was considerably lower not too long ago, and might revisit those levels again in case the broad market turns lower. But despite that, it's reasonable to assume that AMD will deliver solid returns over the next couple of years, which means that AMD is far from a bad investment at current prices.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9072256096,"gmtCreate":1658044897915,"gmtModify":1676536098364,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/BBBY\">$Bed Bath &amp; Beyond(BBBY)$</a>Just sharing&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/BBBY\">$Bed Bath &amp; Beyond(BBBY)$</a>Just sharing&nbsp;","text":"$Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY)$Just sharing","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/56ad2ff8eebe6d6baac50e8d9c32cd9c","width":"1284","height":"2538"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9072256096","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":366,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9933776577,"gmtCreate":1662351739200,"gmtModify":1676537043484,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good Sharing thx&nbsp;","listText":"Good Sharing thx&nbsp;","text":"Good Sharing thx","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9933776577","repostId":"1191279483","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1191279483","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1662332406,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1191279483?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-05 07:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock: What To Do Ahead Of The iPhone 14 Launch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191279483","media":"TheStreet","summary":"It is time for Apple to unveil yet another version of its flagship tech device.

If the stock makes a larger than expected move and the trade suffers a full loss, it should not have more than a 1-3% effect on your portfolio.Stocks With High Implied VolatilityLet’s run the stock screener with the following filters:Total options volume: Greater than 20,000Market Cap: Greater than 40 billionIV Percentile: Greater than 70%This screener produces the following results, ranked by implied volatility percentile:Changes In Open InterestFord (F), Amazon (AMZN), Twitter (TWTR), Intel (INTC), Cisco (CSCO), Apple (AAPL), and Citigroup (C) saw some of the largest changes in open interest last week.Other stocks with large changes in open interest are shown below:","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":202,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9918484952,"gmtCreate":1664432367076,"gmtModify":1676537454384,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thx for sharing&nbsp;","listText":"Thx for sharing&nbsp;","text":"Thx for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9918484952","repostId":"1135976194","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":592,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9935162467,"gmtCreate":1663048212059,"gmtModify":1676537191405,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9935162467","repostId":"2267773293","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":646,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9999311674,"gmtCreate":1660463451001,"gmtModify":1676533475968,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great sharing&nbsp;","listText":"Great sharing&nbsp;","text":"Great sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999311674","repostId":"2259268147","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2259268147","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1660443357,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2259268147?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-14 10:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How to Make 300% in the Stock Market Without Really Trying","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2259268147","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"In 2012, I made 300% returns in the stock market without really trying.It happened again in 2020…And","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cec91627f47c890c9b15078a688d4f9\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>In 2012, I made 300% returns in the stock market without really trying.</p><p>It happened again in 2020…</p><p>And then again in 2021…</p><p>My secret?</p><p><i><b>I bought companies in consolidating industries</b></i>.</p><p>For 2012, it was the airline industry.

But if you are willing to wait for returns without really trying, then AT&T and the telecom industry provides a stunningly attractive play.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":29,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9903353629,"gmtCreate":1658973580261,"gmtModify":1676536237911,"author":{"id":"4118487116785662","authorId":"4118487116785662","name":"Shirou","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4118487116785662","authorIdStr":"4118487116785662"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow&nbsp;","listText":"Wow&nbsp;","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9903353629","repostId":"2254581392","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2254581392","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1658971700,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2254581392?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-28 09:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Experiences Streaming Issues on All Devices","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2254581392","media":"Reuters","summary":"July 27 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc said on Wednesday it is currently experiencing issues with streaming","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>July 27 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc said on Wednesday it is currently experiencing issues with streaming on all devices.</p><p>There were around 1,300 incidents of people reporting issues with Netflix, as of 0051 GMT, according to outage-tracking website Downdetector, which collates status reports from a number of sources in the United States.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The company shows very strong results in theEconomic Moat (80 out of 100 points) and Profitability (100 out of 100 points) categories but very low results in the Valuation (12 out of 100 points) and Expected Return (20 out of 100 points) categories.</li><li>PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) scores 69 out of 100 points according to the same Scorecard. This is an attractive scoring in terms of risk and reward. PepsiCo achieves very attractive ratings in the categories of Economic Moat (81 out of 100 points), Profitability (80 out of 100 points), Valuation (84 out of 100 points), and Expected Return (80 out of 100 points).</li><li>I rate Coca-Cola as a hold. Despite the company’s strong brand image, economic moat, financial strength, and high profitability, the company’s current valuation and growth perspectives are not attractive enough for a buy rating.</li><li>I rate PepsiCo as a buy. PepsiCo’s strong brand image, in combination with its broad product portfolio (which includes 23 brands generating more than $1 billion in revenue each), high profitability, and growth prospects, make the company an attractive investment in terms of risk and reward.</li></ul><p><b>Coca-Cola and PepsiCo’s Competitive Positions</b></p><p>In a previous analysis for Seeking Alpha, which I wrote about PepsiCo, I already described the company&#39;s competitive advantages in more detail.</p><p>Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are among the most valuable brands in the world. Proof of this is the Forbes ranking of the world’s most valuable brands, in which Coca-Cola is ranked 6th, and PepsiCo is ranked 36th.</p><p>Both companies have a broad and worldwide distribution network. The company’s distribution network, in combination with its strong brand image, makes it difficult for competitors to enter their business segments. Additionally, the strong brand images of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo give the companies pricing power to be able to raise their prices as a result of higher costs. This is another strong competitive advantage both companies have in these times of high inflation when compared to competitors with lower strength in terms of brand value.</p><p>The fact that both companies have a large number of important brands in their product portfolio underlines the competitive advantages both companies have. PepsiCo, for example, has 23 brands in its product portfolio, each generating more than $1 billion in revenue. Coca-Cola’s product portfolio includes more than 200 brands (sodas, waters, coffees, teas, and juices, among others).</p><p>One important characteristic that distinguishes both companies is the fact that PepsiCo, in contrast to Coca-Cola, does not only operate in the beverage industry but also in the snack and food businesses industry, which gives the company more flexibility in the development of new products and the acquisition of new brands as well as higher opportunities for future growth.</p><p><b>The Valuation of Coca-Cola and PepsiCoDiscounted Cash Flow (DCF)-Model</b></p><p>In terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. The method calculates a fair value of $47.91 for Coca-Cola and a fair value of $222.67 for PepsiCo. At the current stock price, this results in a downside of 23% for Coca-Cola and an upside of 29.6% for PepsiCo.</p><p>I assume a Revenue Growth Rate and EBIT Growth Rate of 3% for Coca-Cola over the next 5 years and a Revenue Growth Rate and EBIT Growth Rate of 5% for PepsiCo over the same period. Due to PepsiCo’s more diversified product portfolio (through operating not only in the beverage but also in the snack and food businesses), I expect PepsiCo to grow with slightly higher growth rates than Coca-Cola in the years to come. The GDP Growth Rate of the United States is about 3% per year on average. Therefore, I assume a Perpetual Growth Rate of 3% for Coca-Cola. Due to PepsiCo’s broad and diversified product portfolio in combination with its strong brand image, I expect PepsiCo to be able to grow slightly above the GDP Growth Rate in the future. Therefore, I assume a Perpetual Growth Rate of 4% for PepsiCo.</p><p>I have used Coca-Cola’s current discount rate (WACC) of 7.5% and PepsiCo’s current discount rate (WACC) of 6.5%. Furthermore, I calculate with an EV/EBITDA Multiple of 21.5x for Coca-Cola and an EV/EBITDA Multiple of 17.9x for PepsiCo. Both are the companies’ latest twelve months EV/EBITDA.</p><p>My calculations are based on the following assumptions as presented below (in $ millions except per share items):</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30751e541147bab2fff88793e7428466\" tg-width=\"759\" tg-height=\"681\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: The Author</span></p><p>Based on the above assumptions, I calculated the following results (in $ millions except per share items):</p><p><b>Market Value vs. Intrinsic Value</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f6e8f3b3d48fd1c89a90743b4b353c3\" tg-width=\"917\" tg-height=\"271\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: The Author</span></p><p><b>Relative Valuation ModelsCoca-Cola’s and PepsiCo’s P/E (FWD)Ratio</b></p><p>Coca-Cola’s P/E Ratio is currently 25.35, which is 29.13% above the sector median (19.63).

At the same time, PepsiCo’s current P/E Ratio is 13.67% below the company’s average P/E Ratio of the last 5 years (23.51), which is an indicator that PepsiCo is currently undervalued.</p><p><b>Dividend Projections for Coca-Cola</b></p><p>Coca-Cola has been able to raise its dividend by 3.62% per year on average in the past five years. The company’s payout ratio is currently 70.25%, demonstrating the potential for future dividend enhancements. I expect the company to raise its dividend by about 3% per year on average in the years to come. Assuming that the company would continue to raise its dividend by about 3% per year in the next 30 years, we would see the following results for Coca-Cola’s dividend and dividend yield shown in the graphic below.</p><p><b>Projection of Coca-Cola’s Dividend and Dividend Yield Assuming a Dividend Growth Rate of 3% per Year on Average</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed66d66d85781e7a3d9cacdc9d56838c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: The Author</span></p><p>In the table below, you can find Coca-Cola’s accumulated dividend assuming a dividend growth rate of 3% per year in the next 30 years.

Coca-Cola gets a B- while PepsiCo gets an A-. Below you can find the Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a222587cb5e18dac726a75dc6c70f20\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>The Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades are a further indicator that an investment in PepsiCo is currently slightly more attractive than an investment in Coca-Cola.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>From my point of view, one of the main risk factors for both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would be their damaged brand image. In this case, their businesses and financial results could be affected significantly.</p><p>Among the companies’ competitors are Monster (NASDAQ:MNST), Red Bull, and Nestlé (OTCPK:NSRGY) (OTCPK:NSRGF), for example. All of them have also been able to establish relatively strong brand images over time. The competition could result in declining profit margins for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.</p><p>Another risk factor I see for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo could be that the dividend could be cut in the future (for example, as a result of stagnant growth). However, since Coca-Cola currently has a payout ratio of 70.25% and PepsiCo has a payout ratio of 67.62%, I do not see this as a threat in the near future since there is still scope for future dividend enhancements for both companies.</p><p>In my view, there is not particularly much higher risk in investing in one company compared to the other. Nevertheless, when evaluating the risk, I would tend towards investing in PepsiCo rather than Coca-Cola since PepsiCo has a broader product portfolio (operating not only in the beverages sector like Coca-Cola).</p><p>Considering all these risk factors strengthens my opinion that I would currently invest in PepsiCo rather than Coca-Cola.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p><p>Different valuation methods underline that PepsiCo is currently more attractive than Coca-Cola: my DCF Models show that PepsiCo is currently undervalued with an upside of 29.6%, while Coca-Cola is currently overvalued with a downside of 23%.</p><p>Taking Relative Valuation Models such as the P/E Ratio into account, we get another indicator showing that Coca-Cola is currently overvalued while verifying that PepsiCo is more attractive at this moment in time.</p><p>I come to the same conclusion when taking into account the Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades. When considering the Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades to compare both companies, we can see that PepsiCo is slightly higher rated than Coca-Cola in terms of Dividend Safety. PepsiCo’s broader and more diversified product portfolio reinforces my belief that I would choose PepsiCo over Coca-Cola.</p><p>The HQC Scorecard also shows that PepsiCo is currently higher rated than Coca-Cola. While PepsiCo is rated as attractive in terms of risk and reward, Coca-Cola only reaches a moderately attractive score according to the Scorecard. The overall scoring of the HQC Scorecard is yet an additional indicator that strengthens my belief that PepsiCo is currently a buy while I rate Coca-Cola a hold.</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>Coca-Cola Vs.

The company shows very strong results in theEconomic Moat (80 out of 100 points) and Profitability (100 out of 100 points) categories but very low results in the Valuation (12 out of 100 points) and Expected Return (20 out of 100 points) categories.PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) scores 69 out of 100 points according to the same Scorecard. This is an attractive scoring in terms of risk and reward. PepsiCo achieves very attractive ratings in the categories of Economic Moat (81 out of 100 points), Profitability (80 out of 100 points), Valuation (84 out of 100 points), and Expected Return (80 out of 100 points).I rate Coca-Cola as a hold. Despite the company’s strong brand image, economic moat, financial strength, and high profitability, the company’s current valuation and growth perspectives are not attractive enough for a buy rating.I rate PepsiCo as a buy. PepsiCo’s strong brand image, in combination with its broad product portfolio (which includes 23 brands generating more than $1 billion in revenue each), high profitability, and growth prospects, make the company an attractive investment in terms of risk and reward.Coca-Cola and PepsiCo’s Competitive PositionsIn a previous analysis for Seeking Alpha, which I wrote about PepsiCo, I already described the company's competitive advantages in more detail.Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are among the most valuable brands in the world. Proof of this is the Forbes ranking of the world’s most valuable brands, in which Coca-Cola is ranked 6th, and PepsiCo is ranked 36th.Both companies have a broad and worldwide distribution network. The company’s distribution network, in combination with its strong brand image, makes it difficult for competitors to enter their business segments. Additionally, the strong brand images of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo give the companies pricing power to be able to raise their prices as a result of higher costs. This is another strong competitive advantage both companies have in these times of high inflation when compared to competitors with lower strength in terms of brand value.The fact that both companies have a large number of important brands in their product portfolio underlines the competitive advantages both companies have. PepsiCo, for example, has 23 brands in its product portfolio, each generating more than $1 billion in revenue. Coca-Cola’s product portfolio includes more than 200 brands (sodas, waters, coffees, teas, and juices, among others).One important characteristic that distinguishes both companies is the fact that PepsiCo, in contrast to Coca-Cola, does not only operate in the beverage industry but also in the snack and food businesses industry, which gives the company more flexibility in the development of new products and the acquisition of new brands as well as higher opportunities for future growth.The Valuation of Coca-Cola and PepsiCoDiscounted Cash Flow (DCF)-ModelIn terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. The method calculates a fair value of $47.91 for Coca-Cola and a fair value of $222.67 for PepsiCo. At the current stock price, this results in a downside of 23% for Coca-Cola and an upside of 29.6% for PepsiCo.I assume a Revenue Growth Rate and EBIT Growth Rate of 3% for Coca-Cola over the next 5 years and a Revenue Growth Rate and EBIT Growth Rate of 5% for PepsiCo over the same period. Due to PepsiCo’s more diversified product portfolio (through operating not only in the beverage but also in the snack and food businesses), I expect PepsiCo to grow with slightly higher growth rates than Coca-Cola in the years to come. The GDP Growth Rate of the United States is about 3% per year on average. Therefore, I assume a Perpetual Growth Rate of 3% for Coca-Cola. Due to PepsiCo’s broad and diversified product portfolio in combination with its strong brand image, I expect PepsiCo to be able to grow slightly above the GDP Growth Rate in the future. Therefore, I assume a Perpetual Growth Rate of 4% for PepsiCo.I have used Coca-Cola’s current discount rate (WACC) of 7.5% and PepsiCo’s current discount rate (WACC) of 6.5%. Furthermore, I calculate with an EV/EBITDA Multiple of 21.5x for Coca-Cola and an EV/EBITDA Multiple of 17.9x for PepsiCo. Both are the companies’ latest twelve months EV/EBITDA.My calculations are based on the following assumptions as presented below (in $ millions except per share items):Source: The AuthorBased on the above assumptions, I calculated the following results (in $ millions except per share items):Market Value vs. Intrinsic ValueSource: The AuthorRelative Valuation ModelsCoca-Cola’s and PepsiCo’s P/E (FWD)RatioCoca-Cola’s P/E Ratio is currently 25.35, which is 29.13% above the sector median (19.63). This provides us with an indicator that the company is currently overvalued.PepsiCo’s P/E Ratio is currently 20.3, being 3.4% above the sector median (19.63). At the same time, PepsiCo’s current P/E Ratio is 13.67% below the company’s average P/E Ratio of the last 5 years (23.51), which is an indicator that PepsiCo is currently undervalued.Dividend Projections for Coca-ColaCoca-Cola has been able to raise its dividend by 3.62% per year on average in the past five years. The company’s payout ratio is currently 70.25%, demonstrating the potential for future dividend enhancements. I expect the company to raise its dividend by about 3% per year on average in the years to come. Assuming that the company would continue to raise its dividend by about 3% per year in the next 30 years, we would see the following results for Coca-Cola’s dividend and dividend yield shown in the graphic below.Projection of Coca-Cola’s Dividend and Dividend Yield Assuming a Dividend Growth Rate of 3% per Year on AverageSource: The AuthorIn the table below, you can find Coca-Cola’s accumulated dividend assuming a dividend growth rate of 3% per year in the next 30 years. Here you can see that after 20 years, you would have received 77.34% of your initial investment in the form of dividends (for simplification, no withholding tax has been taken into account).Projection of Coca-Cola’s Accumulated Dividend Assuming a Dividend Growth Rate of 3% per Year on AverageDividend Projections for PepsiCoPepsiCo’s dividend growth rate in the last 5 years has been 7.39% on average. In the following, I will make more conservative assumptions assuming that PepsiCo will be able to hike its dividend by about 4% per year on average in the next 30 years. Below you can find the results of PepsiCo’s dividend if you were to invest in PepsiCo at the company’s current stock price.Projection of PepsiCo’s Dividend and Dividend Yield Assuming a Dividend Growth Rate of 4% per Year on AverageSource: The AuthorBelow you can find the results of PepsiCo’s accumulated dividend when assuming a dividend growth rate of 4% per year on average. In 2042, you would have received 85.56% of your initial investment in the form of dividends (for simplification, again, no withholding tax has been included in the calculation).In 30 years, your dividend yield for PepsiCo would be 8.68% (assuming a dividend growth rate of 4% for PepsiCo), and the accumulated dividend would be 158.78%. In comparison to PepsiCo, the dividend yield for Coca-Cola would only be 6.55% (assuming a dividend growth rate of 3% for Coca-Cola), and the accumulated dividend would be 134.85% (as shown in the previous section) after 30 years.Projection of PepsiCo’s Accumulated Dividend Assuming a Dividend Growth Rate of 4% per Year on AverageSource: The AuthorThe results of the dividend projections for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo confirm that it is currently slightly more attractive to invest in PepsiCo than in Coca-Cola. Below you can find a financial overview of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.Financial Overview: Coca-Cola vs. PepsiCoSource: Seeking AlphaThe High-Quality Company (HQC) Scorecard“The aim of the HQC Scorecard that I have developed is to help investors identify companies which are attractive long-term investments in terms of risk and reward.” Here you can find a detailed description of how the HQC Scorecard works.Overview of the Items on the HQC ScorecardIn the graphic below, you can find the individual items and weighting for each category of the HQC Scorecard. A score between 0 and 5 is given (with 0 being the lowest rating and 5 the highest) for each item on the Scorecard. Furthermore, you can see the conditions that must be met for each point of every rated item.Source: The AuthorCoca-Cola and PepsiCo According to the HQC ScorecardSource: The AuthorAccording to the HQC Scorecard, the overall score of Coca-Cola is 58 out of 100 points. This means that Coca-Cola can currently be classified as a moderately attractive investment in terms of risk and reward.PepsiCo’s overall score is 69 out of 100 points. This scoring indicates an attractive rating for PepsiCo in terms of risk and reward.Both companies are rated as very attractive in the categories of Economic Moat and Profitability. PepsiCo’s rating in comparison to Coca-Cola is significantly higher in the Valuation, Growth, and Expected Return categories.Coca-Cola’s moderately attractive rating in terms of risk and reward according to the HQC Scorecard reinforces my belief that the company is currently a hold. The company shows very low scorings in terms of Valuation and Expected Rate of Return.PepsiCo’s attractive scoring in terms of risk and reward according to the HQC Scorecard strengthens my belief that the company can currently be considered a buy, particularly because of its very attractive rating in the Economic Moat, Profitability, Valuation, and Expected Return categories.The higher scoring of PepsiCo in comparison to Coca-Cola according to the HQC Scorecard strengthens my belief that PepsiCo is currently the more attractive investment choice when comparing both companies.Coca-Cola and PepsiCo According to Seeking Alpha’s Factor GradesAccording to Seeking Alpha's Factor Grades, both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo get a D rating in terms of Valuation and an A+ rating in terms of Profitability. In terms of Growth, PepsiCo gets a D+ while Coca-Cola gets a D-. This strengthens my belief that PepsiCo is currently slightly more attractive than Coca-Cola in terms of Growth. Below you can find the comparison between Coca-Cola and PepsiCo according to the Seeking Alpha Factor Grades:Source: Seeking AlphaCoca-Cola and PepsiCo According to Seeking Alpha’s Quant RankingAccording to the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, Coca-Cola is slightly better positioned compared to its competitor PepsiCo. Within the sector, Coca-Cola is ranked 41st (while PepsiCo is ranked 53rd), and within the industry, Coca-Cola is ranked 5th while PepsiCo is 6th. Below you can find the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking:Source: Seeking AlphaCoca-Cola and PepsiCo According to Seeking Alpha’s Dividend GradesIn terms of Dividend Consistency, both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are rated A+ according to the Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades.

Coca-Cola gets a B- while PepsiCo gets an A-. Below you can find the Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo:Source: Seeking AlphaThe Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades are a further indicator that an investment in PepsiCo is currently slightly more attractive than an investment in Coca-Cola.RisksFrom my point of view, one of the main risk factors for both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would be their damaged brand image. In this case, their businesses and financial results could be affected significantly.Among the companies’ competitors are Monster (NASDAQ:MNST), Red Bull, and Nestlé (OTCPK:NSRGY) (OTCPK:NSRGF), for example. All of them have also been able to establish relatively strong brand images over time. The competition could result in declining profit margins for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.Another risk factor I see for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo could be that the dividend could be cut in the future (for example, as a result of stagnant growth). However, since Coca-Cola currently has a payout ratio of 70.25% and PepsiCo has a payout ratio of 67.62%, I do not see this as a threat in the near future since there is still scope for future dividend enhancements for both companies.In my view, there is not particularly much higher risk in investing in one company compared to the other. Nevertheless, when evaluating the risk, I would tend towards investing in PepsiCo rather than Coca-Cola since PepsiCo has a broader product portfolio (operating not only in the beverages sector like Coca-Cola).Considering all these risk factors strengthens my opinion that I would currently invest in PepsiCo rather than Coca-Cola.The Bottom LineDifferent valuation methods underline that PepsiCo is currently more attractive than Coca-Cola: my DCF Models show that PepsiCo is currently undervalued with an upside of 29.6%, while Coca-Cola is currently overvalued with a downside of 23%.Taking Relative Valuation Models such as the P/E Ratio into account, we get another indicator showing that Coca-Cola is currently overvalued while verifying that PepsiCo is more attractive at this moment in time.I come to the same conclusion when taking into account the Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades. When considering the Seeking Alpha Dividend Grades to compare both companies, we can see that PepsiCo is slightly higher rated than Coca-Cola in terms of Dividend Safety. PepsiCo’s broader and more diversified product portfolio reinforces my belief that I would choose PepsiCo over Coca-Cola.The HQC Scorecard also shows that PepsiCo is currently higher rated than Coca-Cola. While PepsiCo is rated as attractive in terms of risk and reward, Coca-Cola only reaches a moderately attractive score according to the Scorecard. The overall scoring of the HQC Scorecard is yet an additional indicator that strengthens my belief that PepsiCo is currently a buy while I rate Coca-Cola a hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":295,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
