Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2281414614","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These growth stocks have fallen sharply amid the bear market, but investors have good reason to be bullish on both companies.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market has crumbled this year. High inflation and rising interest rates have caused the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> to dive headlong into a bear market. The broad-based index is currently 21% off its high, but many individual growth stocks have fared even worse. For instance, <b>Shopify</b> and <b>Global-e Online</b> have seen their share prices tumble 80% and 73%, respectively, leaving both stocks near 52-week lows.</p><p>However, some Wall Street analysts remain upbeat. Paul Treiber of <b>RBC</b> Capital has a price target on Shopify of $55 per share, 133% higher than its 52-week low of $23.63. And James Faucette of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a></b> has a price target of $51 per share on Global-e Online, which implies 226% upside from its 52-week low of $15.63.</p><p>Is it time to buy these growth stocks?</p><h2>Shopify: Omnichannel commerce made easy</h2><p>Shopify is the central nervous system for over two million businesses. Its software simplifies commerce by enabling merchants to manage multiple sales channels from a single platform, including online marketplaces like <b>Amazon</b>, social media like Instagram, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) websites. Shopify also provides adjacent solutions for payment processing, financing, and marketing, among others.</p><p>The company has struggled in the current economic environment. Revenue climbed just 22% to $1.4 billion in the third quarter, and the company posted an adjusted loss of $0.02 per share, compared to an adjusted profit of $0.08 per share last year. Worse yet, Shopify may continue to struggle until inflation normalizes and consumer spending rebounds. But these temporary headwinds are obscuring its true potential. In fact, RBC analyst Paul Treiber recently called Shopify &#34;one of the most compelling long-term growth stories.&#34;</p><p>According to G2 Grid, Shopify is the most popular e-commerce software in terms of market presence, and Shopify Plus -- its commerce suite for larger companies -- is the second most popular platform. That success stems from its support for omnichannel commerce. While marketplace operators herd sellers onto one platform, Shopify helps brands grow across virtually any channel. That includes brick-and-mortar stores and D2C websites, which gives brands complete control over the buyer experience -- something they lack on a marketplace like Amazon -- and can increase the odds of lasting customer relationships.</p><p>That means Shopify is set to capitalize on a large and growing addressable market. E-commerce sales worldwide are expected to increase 10% annually to reach $7.4 trillion by 2025, according to eMarketer. Better yet, Shopify has a particularly strong foothold in North America. It powered 10.3% of retail e-commerce sales in the U.S. last year -- second only to Amazon -- and that market is expected to grow 12% annually to reach $1.5 trillion by 2025.</p><p>Currently, shares trade at about 8.5 times sales, an absolute bargain compared to the three-year average of over 36 times sales. That creates a compelling buying opportunity, though investors shouldn&#39;t expect triple-digit returns in the next year. The macroeconomic environment is far too uncertain to warrant that type of near-term optimism.</p><h2>Global-e Online: Cross-border e-commerce made easy</h2><p>Global-e simplifies cross-border e-commerce by helping merchants optimize their digital stores for international buyers. The Global-e platform localizes details like language, currency, and payment options, and it surfaces data-driven insights to help merchants understand shopper behavior on a market-by-market basis. Those services boost international conversion rates, often by more than 60%, according to the company.</p><p>Additionally, Global-e provides fulfillment services through a partner network of shipping carriers, and it offers support for returns and customer service. Better yet, its platform removes much of the regulatory complexity associated with international expansion by helping merchants calculate and pay import duties and foreign sales tax. In a nutshell, Global-e makes it easy for businesses to move into new markets, and that value proposition has the company growing like gangbusters.</p><p>In the second quarter, Global-e saw gross merchandise volume (GMV) soar 64% to $534 million as more brands joined the platform. That feat is particularly impressive given the state of the global economy. In turn, quarterly revenue jumped 52% to $87 million, and the company posted positive free cash flow (FCF) of $30 million. That equates to an impressive FCF margin of 34%.</p><p>Better yet, investors have good reason to believe that momentum will continue. Cross-border e-commerce sales will total $736 billion in 2023, according to <b>Forrester Research</b>, but Global-e handled just $990 million in GMV through the first half of 2022. That puts the company in front of a massive opportunity, and management has set in motion a strong growth strategy.

High inflation and rising interest rates have caused the S&P 500 to dive headlong into a bear market. The broad-based index is currently 21% off its high, but many individual growth stocks have fared even worse. For instance, Shopify and Global-e Online have seen their share prices tumble 80% and 73%, respectively, leaving both stocks near 52-week lows.However, some Wall Street analysts remain upbeat. Paul Treiber of RBC Capital has a price target on Shopify of $55 per share, 133% higher than its 52-week low of $23.63. And James Faucette of Morgan Stanley has a price target of $51 per share on Global-e Online, which implies 226% upside from its 52-week low of $15.63.Is it time to buy these growth stocks?Shopify: Omnichannel commerce made easyShopify is the central nervous system for over two million businesses. Its software simplifies commerce by enabling merchants to manage multiple sales channels from a single platform, including online marketplaces like Amazon, social media like Instagram, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) websites. Shopify also provides adjacent solutions for payment processing, financing, and marketing, among others.The company has struggled in the current economic environment. Revenue climbed just 22% to $1.4 billion in the third quarter, and the company posted an adjusted loss of $0.02 per share, compared to an adjusted profit of $0.08 per share last year. Worse yet, Shopify may continue to struggle until inflation normalizes and consumer spending rebounds. But these temporary headwinds are obscuring its true potential. In fact, RBC analyst Paul Treiber recently called Shopify \"one of the most compelling long-term growth stories.\"According to G2 Grid, Shopify is the most popular e-commerce software in terms of market presence, and Shopify Plus -- its commerce suite for larger companies -- is the second most popular platform. That success stems from its support for omnichannel commerce. While marketplace operators herd sellers onto one platform, Shopify helps brands grow across virtually any channel. That includes brick-and-mortar stores and D2C websites, which gives brands complete control over the buyer experience -- something they lack on a marketplace like Amazon -- and can increase the odds of lasting customer relationships.That means Shopify is set to capitalize on a large and growing addressable market. E-commerce sales worldwide are expected to increase 10% annually to reach $7.4 trillion by 2025, according to eMarketer. Better yet, Shopify has a particularly strong foothold in North America. It powered 10.3% of retail e-commerce sales in the U.S. last year -- second only to Amazon -- and that market is expected to grow 12% annually to reach $1.5 trillion by 2025.Currently, shares trade at about 8.5 times sales, an absolute bargain compared to the three-year average of over 36 times sales. That creates a compelling buying opportunity, though investors shouldn't expect triple-digit returns in the next year. The macroeconomic environment is far too uncertain to warrant that type of near-term optimism.Global-e Online: Cross-border e-commerce made easyGlobal-e simplifies cross-border e-commerce by helping merchants optimize their digital stores for international buyers. The Global-e platform localizes details like language, currency, and payment options, and it surfaces data-driven insights to help merchants understand shopper behavior on a market-by-market basis. Those services boost international conversion rates, often by more than 60%, according to the company.Additionally, Global-e provides fulfillment services through a partner network of shipping carriers, and it offers support for returns and customer service. Better yet, its platform removes much of the regulatory complexity associated with international expansion by helping merchants calculate and pay import duties and foreign sales tax. In a nutshell, Global-e makes it easy for businesses to move into new markets, and that value proposition has the company growing like gangbusters.In the second quarter, Global-e saw gross merchandise volume (GMV) soar 64% to $534 million as more brands joined the platform. That feat is particularly impressive given the state of the global economy. In turn, quarterly revenue jumped 52% to $87 million, and the company posted positive free cash flow (FCF) of $30 million. That equates to an impressive FCF margin of 34%.Better yet, investors have good reason to believe that momentum will continue. Cross-border e-commerce sales will total $736 billion in 2023, according to Forrester Research, but Global-e handled just $990 million in GMV through the first half of 2022. That puts the company in front of a massive opportunity, and management has set in motion a strong growth strategy. For instance, Global-e powers Shopify Markets Pro, a sophisticated cross-border solution that makes it possible for Shopify merchants to expand into more than 150 markets overnight.Currently, shares trade at just over 11 times sales, a discount to the historic average of nearly 25. That's why investors should consider buying this growth stock, though Global-e is best viewed as a long-term investment. Triple-digit returns are in the cards but only with enough time for the company to expand into its huge market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9987369499,"gmtCreate":1667825864211,"gmtModify":1676537969640,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9987369499","repostId":"1133133927","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1133133927","pubTimestamp":1667774184,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133133927?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-07 06:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook Parent Meta Is Preparing to Notify Employees of Large-Scale Layoffs This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133133927","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Social-media company’s planned cuts expected to affect many thousands of its workforceMeta’s planned","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Social-media company’s planned cuts expected to affect many thousands of its workforce</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3283f3fd40a681581abb2a1eddb4d4d0\" tg-width=\"860\" tg-height=\"573\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Meta’s planned layoffs would be the first broad head-count reductions to occur in the company’s 18-year history.</span></p><p>Meta Platforms Inc. increase; green up pointing triangleis planning to begin large-scale layoffs this week, according to people familiar with the matter, in what could be the largest round in a recent spate of tech job cuts after the industry’s rapid growth during the pandemic.</p><p>The layoffs are expected to affect many thousands of employees and an announcement is planned to come as soon as Wednesday, according to the people.

Last month, the Journal reported that visitors to Horizon Worlds had fallen over the course of the year to well under 200,000 users, about the size of Sioux Falls, S.D.“I get that a lot of people might disagree with this investment,” Mr. Zuckerberg told analysts on the company’s earnings call last month before reaffirming his commitment. “I think people are going to look back on decades from now and talk about the importance of the work that was done here.”After the call, analysts downgraded their rating of Meta’s stock and slashed price targets.“Management’s road map & justification for this strategy continue to not resonate with investors,” analysts at RBC Capital Markets said in a note last month.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":485,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9987369577,"gmtCreate":1667825815599,"gmtModify":1676537969631,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9987369577","repostId":"1168407332","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":421,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9984108862,"gmtCreate":1667551436357,"gmtModify":1676537936481,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9984108862","repostId":"1105116140","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1105116140","pubTimestamp":1667550709,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105116140?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-04 16:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Is The Price I'll Start Buying Microsoft","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105116140","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryMicrosoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for poten","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Microsoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for potential purchase.</li><li>In this article, I share my valuation process for Microsoft stock.</li><li>I also share my thoughts about how a recession could affect the stock price and the price range I would consider adding the stock to my portfolio.</li></ul><h3>My Valuation Method For Microsoft</h3><p>The valuation method I use for Microsoft first checks to see how cyclical earnings have been historically. Once it is determined that earnings aren&#39;t too cyclical, then I use a combination of earnings, earnings growth, and P/E mean reversion to estimate future returns based on previous earnings growth and sentiment patterns. I take those expectations and apply them 10 years into the future, and then convert the results into an expected CAGR percentage. If the expected return is really good, I will buy the stock, and if it&#39;s really low, I will often sell the stock. In this article, I will take readers through each step of this process.</p><p>Importantly, once it is established that a business has a long history of relatively stable and predictable earnings growth, it doesn&#39;t really matter to me what the business does. If it consistently makes more money over the course of each economic cycle, that&#39;s what I care about the most.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd2616262154bcd955f95bc22536731d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Over the past 20 years Microsoft has only experienced two years of EPS declines, once during the recession of 2009, when earnings fell -12% and once in 2013 when earnings fell a modest -7%. Every other year Microsoft has grown its earnings per share from one year to the next. I would categorize this as very low earnings cyclicality. Based on that, it is appropriate to use a fundamental analysis using earnings to value the stock, and that&#39;s what I&#39;ll do in this article. (If earnings had been more cyclical, I would use a different valuation technique.)</p><h3>Microsoft Stock -- Market Sentiment Return Expectations</h3><p>In order to estimate what sort of returns we might expect over the next 10 years, let&#39;s begin by examining what return we could expect 10 years from now if the P/E multiple were to revert to its mean from the previous economic cycle. For this, I&#39;m using a period that runs from 2015-2023.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d94dcdf085e19d4d955dded938282951\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"531\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s average P/E from 2015 to the present has been about 24.49 (the blue number circled in gold near the bottom of the FAST Graph). Using 2023&#39;s forward earnings estimates of $9.51 Microsoft has a current P/E of 23.82. If that 23.82 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 24.49 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, MSFT&#39;s price would rise and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of<i>+0.31%.</i>That&#39;s the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes 10 years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the return would be higher.</p><h3>Business Earnings Expectations</h3><p>We previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today&#39;s prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.</p><p>There are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow. Let&#39;s start with the earnings yield (which is an inverted P/E ratio, so the Earnings/Price ratio). The current earnings yield is about +4.20%. The way I like to think about this is, if I bought the company&#39;s whole business right now for $100, I would earn $4.20 per year on my investment if earnings remained the same for the next 10 years.</p><p>The next step is to estimate the company&#39;s earnings growth during this time period. I do that by figuring out at what rate earnings grew during the last cycle and applying that rate to the next 10 years. This involves calculating the historical EPS growth rate, taking into account each year&#39;s EPS growth or decline, and then backing out any share buybacks that occurred over that time period (because reducing shares will increase the EPS due to fewer shares).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc823ca5b80a2b444fcb0e0937e9d710\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Microsoft has reduced its shares outstanding by about 9% over this time period. I will make adjustments for these buybacks when calculating their earnings growth. After doing so, I get an estimated earnings growth rate for Microsoft during this period of +14.07%, which is very good. Because of my buyback adjustments that number is a little more conservative than FAST Graph&#39;s +15.72%, but it&#39;s worth noting that we never really had a &#34;true&#34; recession from 2015 to 2022 either, so I actually view my current estimate as a little on the optimistic side since Microsoft&#39;s earnings will probably experience at least some decline if we experience a recession, even if the decline is not super deep.</p><p>Next, I&#39;ll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought Microsoft&#39;s whole business for $100, it would pay me back $4.20 plus +14.07% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +14.07% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $193.40 including the original $100. When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a<i>+6.82%</i>10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.</p><h3>10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR Estimate</h3><p>Potential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for Microsoft, it will produce a +0.31% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +6.82% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of<i>+7.13%</i>at today&#39;s price.</p><p>My Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. A +7.13% expected CAGR makes Microsoft stock a &#34;Hold&#34; using these assumptions and means it&#39;s roughly fairly valued here.</p><p>Assuming the estimates for 2023 earnings don&#39;t change (and they might) the price at which Microsoft stock would cross the 12% 10-year CAGR threshold and become a &#34;Buy&#34; is $165.80 per share, which is about -26% lower than where the stock trades today.</p><h3>Recession Considerations</h3><p>So far, I don&#39;t think Microsoft&#39;s earnings expectations contain realistic recession estimates, but they do look to be at least reasonably close if we avoid a recession and earnings stagnate a bit while digesting the end of economic stimulus.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eade0d6871674075784b02a78ba5afcf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"327\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Currently, the market expects $9.51 of EPS for 2023. If the EPS growth trend of +13.87% leading into the pandemic stimulus would have continued without stimulus, we would have expected Microsoft to earn about $8.50 per share in 2023, which is a little bit lower than analysts expect right now, but at least in the same ballpark. What I expect to happen over the next three quarters is for analysts to lower their expectations from where they are now, down to something closer to $8.50. If that were to happen, it would lower my &#34;buy price&#34; down to about $148 per share, and this is probably my base case of what to expect in the first half of 2023. But since there is a pretty big distance between the current trading price and my current buy price, I probably have time to wait and see what the next earnings report looks like and get more information before making these adjustments to my buy price.</p><p>What I&#39;m not taking into account with that buy price are any earnings and stock price declines caused by an actual recession (rather than the stimulus earnings trend reverting to normal). A recession scenario<i>could</i>be a much more bearish scenario, so I feel obligated to share it.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7883cb9bceb7a10ee04ca05dae0ae8e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>If we go back to the Great Recession in 2008/9, leading into that recession Microsoft had a peak P/E ratio of about 23, and from peak to trough, the stock price fell about -60% off its highs even though EPS only declined -12% at its worst. At one point Microsoft traded at a P/E under 10. The potentially concerning part about the current downturn is that Microsoft&#39;s peak P/E was about 40, nearly double the 2007 peak P/E. This leaves room for a lot more multiple compression and downside price movement.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e65a177086d233dba667f7c9b6da760\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"309\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graph</p><p>In the forecasting graph above, I assumed a much more optimistic (and perhaps more reasonable) 15 P/E ratio for Microsoft in a recession and used the very generous EPS estimate of $9.51. This still resulted in a -50% drawdown from where the stock trades today. And, if earnings growth declines as I expect it to do, that would lower the expected price even more.</p><p>As I&#39;m sure many will point out, Microsoft is a different business than it was in 2007. And that&#39;s true. Additionally, even though I expect a recession in 2023, I don&#39;t yet expect it to be as bad as in 2008. But the assumptions above don&#39;t even assume an earnings decline and aren&#39;t nearly as pessimistic with the trough P/E as 2008 either. So, I just think it&#39;s important for Microsoft investors to know what is possible over the next year or two, and that because Microsoft was valued so richly going into this decline, the stock price could have a long way to fall and investors should be prepared for it. It&#39;s also worth noting that the current interest rate environment is much closer to that of 2008 than it is of 2020 as well.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Given what we know today about earnings expectations for 2023, my current buy price for Microsoft is $165.80, but I expect over the next several months for that buy price to fall down closer to $148.00 as earnings disappoint and the wider economy weakens in 2023. The $148.00 price has a relatively high chance of hitting, and I&#39;ll likely buy around there, but I will have no illusion that will necessarily be the bottom for the stock. If the recession is worse than expected the price could easily go lower, but with a business as high quality as Microsoft, I would hold through any additional downturn at that point because I have no doubt they will eventually recover.</p><p>An additional portfolio consideration is that I usually take 1% initial portfolio-weighted positions, and the last time I checked Microsoft was about a 5% weighting in the S&amp;P 500. If I bought at $148, and the price took a 2008-style dive deeper, I would feel comfortable adding a second 1% weighted Microsoft position even though it&#39;s not something I do very often. So, I view the $148 to $166 range of the next 3-4 months as having a very high probability of hitting and giving me a chance to add Microsoft to my portfolio at a decent price. But investors need to be aware the stock could go lower than that, and potentially be prepared to buy a second tranche if it does.</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>Here Is The Price I'll Start Buying Microsoft</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\">\nHere Is The Price I'll Start Buying Microsoft\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-04 16:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMicrosoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for potential purchase.In this article, I share my valuation process for Microsoft stock.I also share my ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MSFT":"微软"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1105116140","content_text":"SummaryMicrosoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for potential purchase.In this article, I share my valuation process for Microsoft stock.I also share my thoughts about how a recession could affect the stock price and the price range I would consider adding the stock to my portfolio.My Valuation Method For MicrosoftThe valuation method I use for Microsoft first checks to see how cyclical earnings have been historically. Once it is determined that earnings aren't too cyclical, then I use a combination of earnings, earnings growth, and P/E mean reversion to estimate future returns based on previous earnings growth and sentiment patterns. I take those expectations and apply them 10 years into the future, and then convert the results into an expected CAGR percentage. If the expected return is really good, I will buy the stock, and if it's really low, I will often sell the stock. In this article, I will take readers through each step of this process.Importantly, once it is established that a business has a long history of relatively stable and predictable earnings growth, it doesn't really matter to me what the business does.

Based on that, it is appropriate to use a fundamental analysis using earnings to value the stock, and that's what I'll do in this article. (If earnings had been more cyclical, I would use a different valuation technique.)Microsoft Stock -- Market Sentiment Return ExpectationsIn order to estimate what sort of returns we might expect over the next 10 years, let's begin by examining what return we could expect 10 years from now if the P/E multiple were to revert to its mean from the previous economic cycle. For this, I'm using a period that runs from 2015-2023.FAST GraphsMicrosoft's average P/E from 2015 to the present has been about 24.49 (the blue number circled in gold near the bottom of the FAST Graph). Using 2023's forward earnings estimates of $9.51 Microsoft has a current P/E of 23.82. If that 23.82 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 24.49 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, MSFT's price would rise and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of+0.31%.That's the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes 10 years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the return would be higher.Business Earnings ExpectationsWe previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today's prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.There are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow. Let's start with the earnings yield (which is an inverted P/E ratio, so the Earnings/Price ratio). The current earnings yield is about +4.20%. The way I like to think about this is, if I bought the company's whole business right now for $100, I would earn $4.20 per year on my investment if earnings remained the same for the next 10 years.The next step is to estimate the company's earnings growth during this time period. I do that by figuring out at what rate earnings grew during the last cycle and applying that rate to the next 10 years. This involves calculating the historical EPS growth rate, taking into account each year's EPS growth or decline, and then backing out any share buybacks that occurred over that time period (because reducing shares will increase the EPS due to fewer shares).Data by YChartsMicrosoft has reduced its shares outstanding by about 9% over this time period. I will make adjustments for these buybacks when calculating their earnings growth. After doing so, I get an estimated earnings growth rate for Microsoft during this period of +14.07%, which is very good. Because of my buyback adjustments that number is a little more conservative than FAST Graph's +15.72%, but it's worth noting that we never really had a \"true\" recession from 2015 to 2022 either, so I actually view my current estimate as a little on the optimistic side since Microsoft's earnings will probably experience at least some decline if we experience a recession, even if the decline is not super deep.Next, I'll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought Microsoft's whole business for $100, it would pay me back $4.20 plus +14.07% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +14.07% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $193.40 including the original $100. When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a+6.82%10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR EstimatePotential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for Microsoft, it will produce a +0.31% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +6.82% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of+7.13%at today's price.My Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. A +7.13% expected CAGR makes Microsoft stock a \"Hold\" using these assumptions and means it's roughly fairly valued here.Assuming the estimates for 2023 earnings don't change (and they might) the price at which Microsoft stock would cross the 12% 10-year CAGR threshold and become a \"Buy\" is $165.80 per share, which is about -26% lower than where the stock trades today.Recession ConsiderationsSo far, I don't think Microsoft's earnings expectations contain realistic recession estimates, but they do look to be at least reasonably close if we avoid a recession and earnings stagnate a bit while digesting the end of economic stimulus.FAST GraphsCurrently, the market expects $9.51 of EPS for 2023. If the EPS growth trend of +13.87% leading into the pandemic stimulus would have continued without stimulus, we would have expected Microsoft to earn about $8.50 per share in 2023, which is a little bit lower than analysts expect right now, but at least in the same ballpark. What I expect to happen over the next three quarters is for analysts to lower their expectations from where they are now, down to something closer to $8.50. If that were to happen, it would lower my \"buy price\" down to about $148 per share, and this is probably my base case of what to expect in the first half of 2023. But since there is a pretty big distance between the current trading price and my current buy price, I probably have time to wait and see what the next earnings report looks like and get more information before making these adjustments to my buy price.What I'm not taking into account with that buy price are any earnings and stock price declines caused by an actual recession (rather than the stimulus earnings trend reverting to normal). A recession scenariocouldbe a much more bearish scenario, so I feel obligated to share it.FAST GraphsIf we go back to the Great Recession in 2008/9, leading into that recession Microsoft had a peak P/E ratio of about 23, and from peak to trough, the stock price fell about -60% off its highs even though EPS only declined -12% at its worst. At one point Microsoft traded at a P/E under 10. The potentially concerning part about the current downturn is that Microsoft's peak P/E was about 40, nearly double the 2007 peak P/E. This leaves room for a lot more multiple compression and downside price movement.FAST GraphIn the forecasting graph above, I assumed a much more optimistic (and perhaps more reasonable) 15 P/E ratio for Microsoft in a recession and used the very generous EPS estimate of $9.51. This still resulted in a -50% drawdown from where the stock trades today. And, if earnings growth declines as I expect it to do, that would lower the expected price even more.As I'm sure many will point out, Microsoft is a different business than it was in 2007. And that's true. Additionally, even though I expect a recession in 2023, I don't yet expect it to be as bad as in 2008. But the assumptions above don't even assume an earnings decline and aren't nearly as pessimistic with the trough P/E as 2008 either. So, I just think it's important for Microsoft investors to know what is possible over the next year or two, and that because Microsoft was valued so richly going into this decline, the stock price could have a long way to fall and investors should be prepared for it. It's also worth noting that the current interest rate environment is much closer to that of 2008 than it is of 2020 as well.ConclusionGiven what we know today about earnings expectations for 2023, my current buy price for Microsoft is $165.80, but I expect over the next several months for that buy price to fall down closer to $148.00 as earnings disappoint and the wider economy weakens in 2023. The $148.00 price has a relatively high chance of hitting, and I'll likely buy around there, but I will have no illusion that will necessarily be the bottom for the stock. If the recession is worse than expected the price could easily go lower, but with a business as high quality as Microsoft, I would hold through any additional downturn at that point because I have no doubt they will eventually recover.An additional portfolio consideration is that I usually take 1% initial portfolio-weighted positions, and the last time I checked Microsoft was about a 5% weighting in the S&P 500. If I bought at $148, and the price took a 2008-style dive deeper, I would feel comfortable adding a second 1% weighted Microsoft position even though it's not something I do very often. So, I view the $148 to $166 range of the next 3-4 months as having a very high probability of hitting and giving me a chance to add Microsoft to my portfolio at a decent price. But investors need to be aware the stock could go lower than that, and potentially be prepared to buy a second tranche if it does.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":444,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9984100023,"gmtCreate":1667550037762,"gmtModify":1676537936299,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks

The company’s actions reflect the impact of macro challenges and lower demand in the semiconductor space.Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) impressed investors with its better-than-anticipated third-quarter earnings and its aggressive cost savings plans amid tough business conditions. The semiconductor giant aims to deliver $3 billion in cost reductions next year and is targeting $8 billion to $10 billion in annualized cost reductions and efficiency benefits by the end of 2025.Intel’s CEO Pat Gelsinger stated, “To position ourselves for this business cycle, we are aggressively addressing costs and driving efficiencies across the business to accelerate our IDM 2.0 flywheel for the digital future.” Intel recorded restructuring charges of $664 million in Q3 as part of its cost reduction initiatives.The company’s cost reduction actions include headcount optimization. In an interview with Reuters, Gelsinger indicated that the headcount optimization will begin in the fourth quarter, although he didn’t provide any details on how many employees will be impacted.Intel stock was up 5.6% in Thursday’s extended trading session. Shares have declined 49% year-to-date due to a broader tech sell-off and demand concerns in the semiconductor space.Intel’s Outlook Reflects PressureIntel’s Q3 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) declined 59% year-over-year to $0.59 due to lower revenue and margin pressure. However, adjusted EPS topped analysts’ consensus estimate of $0.34 due to lower-than-anticipated taxes.Revenue declined 20% to $15.3 billion due to lower revenue from the Client Computing and Datacenter and AI segments.Intel lowered its full-year guidance, citing macro headwinds. The company now expects adjusted EPS of $1.95 and revenue in the range of $63 billion to $64 billion. It had earlier projected adjusted EPS of $2.30 and revenue between $65 billion to $68 billion.Is Intel Buy, Sell, or Hold?Following the print, Rosenblatt Securities analyst Hans Mosesmann reiterated a Sell rating on Intel stock and lowered the price target to $20 from $30.Mosesmann  stated, “Weak outlook across the board and a macro malaise expected to continue well into 2023 creates an immensely delicate balance in committed CapEx expansion, FCF neutrality targets, share losses in data center, non-trivial employee reduction efforts, and a foundry services business that will take years to play out.”Overall, Wall Street is sidelined on Intel stock, with a Hold consensus rating based on four Buys, 14 Holds, and 11 Sells. The average Intel stock price target of $33 implies a 25.6% upside potential.ConclusionIntel is taking the required steps to fight challenging market conditions and improve profitability. However, Wall Street remains cautious as the company has been losing ground to rivals like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":517,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9986280030,"gmtCreate":1666962724320,"gmtModify":1676537840432,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9986280030","repostId":"1100216928","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1100216928","pubTimestamp":1666929303,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100216928?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-28 11:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Apple A Buy After FQ4 2022 Earnings?

(NASDAQ:AAPL) has long been watched as the bellwether for consumer strength amid rising recession risks in recent months, and its latest resilience demonstrated in the September quarter with a double beat, paired with positive commentary on the business&#39;s strengths, sets a positive tone for fiscal 2023 despite looming macro uncertainties.</p><p>Apple&#39;s September-quarter results suggest that affluent spend on premium products remains resilient, despite risks of overall consumer confidence deterioration in the near term with buckling budgets amid rising interest rates and inflation. This is further corroborated by stronger iPhone 14 Pro model sales compared with relatively lackluster take-rates on the new smartphone family&#39;s base model equivalents.</p><p>We believe Apple&#39;s resilience demonstrated in the September quarter is also a result of prudent business management imposed at the decision-making level. This includes pulling forward the iPhone 14 launch to improve fiscal 2022 performance while allowing Apple to take advantage of earlier-than-expected holiday-season shopping trends this year as consumers spread out spending habits as budgets tighten amid an inflationary environment. Time and again, the value of Apple&#39;s prudent management at the decision-making level has shone through, playing a critical role in mitigating some of the impact from worsening consumer weakness observed in recent months that could have led to softer fundamentals.</p><p>Meanwhile, management&#39;s allusion to &#34;strength of [Apple&#39;s] ecosystem, unmatched customer loyalty, and [an] active installed base of devices [reaching] a new all-time high&#34; kicks off fiscal 2023 with a strong positive note, underscoring the value of its pervasive ecosystem of high-demand hardware and complementary services that have become increasingly entwined with many aspects of daily personal settings, big and small. It is also consistent with rising investors&#39; concerns about the impact of China - a critical market for Apple that showed signs of cracking after the company unleashed a rare round of discounts to attract demand over the summer.</p><p>But sustained growth in the higher-margin Services segment continues to demonstrate the value of Apple&#39;s sprawling influence over the consumer end-market. This is further corroborated by Apple&#39;s earnings beat, underscoring the strength of Services&#39; margins despite the tough consumer backdrop during the September quarter.</p><p>While the stock has not lost as much of its value compared to its tech peers and the broader market amid this year&#39;s selloff, which raises concerns that it may become more &#34;vulnerable&#34; to further multiple contraction in the near-term given increasingly fragile market sentiment, we believe it will continue to fare better than most given the underlying business&#39; robust fundamentals. Specifically, the robust momentum in Services maintained throughout the rising competition and deteriorating consumer sentiment in the third quarter continues to support its potential in ultimately accounting for half of Apple&#39;s valuation over the longer term, which reinforces the stock&#39;s$3 trillion thesis. Paired with Apple&#39;s upbeat F4Q22 results and management&#39;s positive tone on the forward prospects despite looming macro challenges, any near-term market volatility would likely continue to create compelling entry points for capitalizing on longer-term upsides.</p><p><b>Profitable Growth is Key - And Services is Here For It</b></p><p>Apple&#39;s Services segment demonstrated slower-than-expected but sustained growth in the September quarter, with sales increasing 5% y/y (inclusive of FX headwinds) and margins maintaining in the 70%-range despite inflationary pressures and consumer weakness. As discussed in our previous coverage on the stock, Apple&#39;s Services segment is becoming increasingly core to the company&#39;s long-term growth and profitability trajectory, especially with improved technological advancements in recent years and overall consumer weakness in the near-term lengthening upgrade cycles on devices.</p><p>This is also music to investors&#39; ears, as preference migrates from growth to profitability amid a souring macroeconomic outlook.</p><blockquote>In 2017, Apple - under the leadership of Tim Cook - vowed todoubleits services revenue by 2020. Since then, the segment has delivered with a multi-year compounded annual growth rate (&#34;CAGR&#34;) of more than 20%, boasting close to $68.5 billion in annual revenues during fiscal 2021, and approaching $80 billion in the current fiscal year ending this week. Earlier this year, Wall Street predicted that Apple&#39;s services segment amounts to a$1.5 trillionvalue on its own, similar to our own predictions which will be discussed in further detail below.</blockquote><blockquote>Although services sales growth has decelerated from its heights last year due to the moderation in demand from pulled-forward subscriptions during the pandemic era alongside broad-based macro weakness, the segment continues to boast robust double-digit expansion, reinforcing the bullish thesis surrounding Apple&#39;s sustained long-term growth and profitability trajectory.</blockquote><blockquote>Source: &#34;Apple Services Is On A Critical Mission&#34;</blockquote><p>We see Services&#39; critical role in safeguarding Apple&#39;s bottom line continuing into the upcoming holiday season, despite light growth and a slight miss as expected during the fiscal fourth quarter. We see our previously discussed base case where Services will continue to lead growth alongside hardware sales as a highly likely scenario as Apple navigates through macro challenges in the near term. And the company&#39;s recent decision to raise prices on some of its core Services offerings - including Apple TV+, Apple Music and the Apple One bundle - will likely give the segment&#39;s momentum another leg up heading into fiscal 2023, as opposed to weighing further on weakening consumer sentiment since Apple has a strong value proposition to do so.</p><p><b>Apple TV+</b></p><p>Apple raised the monthly Apple TV+ subscription rate from $4.99 to $6.99, and annual subscription rate from $49 to $69, which went into effect earlier this week. While the price hike for Apple TV+ is not small - a whopping 40%+ - it remains competitive relative to rival streaming platforms spanning Netflix(NFLX), Disney+(DIS), and HBO Max(WBD), to name a few, including their respective ad-supported tiers that are / will be marketed as a &#34;cheaper&#34; alternative.</p><p>We also believe Apple has the right value proposition for jacking up Apple TV+&#39;s pricing, which will effectively help reduce potential churn in the aftermath. Specifically, Apple TV+ was &#34;introduced at a very low price because it started with just a few shows and movies.&#34; But now, it has grown into an extensive library of &#34;award-winning and broadly acclaimed series, feature films, documentaries, and kids and family entertainment,&#34; which is further corroborated by its rapidly rising global market share of more than 6%, putting rival platforms on notice.</p><p>Yet, at the new price tag of $6.99 per month, Apple TV+ - which is currently ad-free and offers unlimited access to its entire catalogue of scripted and non-scripted content, alongside live sporting events such as &#34;Friday Night Baseball&#34; - the streaming platform still beats equivalents in the pricing segment. This includes Netflix and Disney+&#39;s upcoming ad-supported tier priced at $6.99 and $7.99 per month, respectively, and HBO Max&#39;s ad-supported tier priced at $10 per month, with some not even offering access to live sporting events, which is a key demand driver in streaming that Apple TV+ is benefiting from. This continues to underscore Apple TV+&#39;s pricing advantage amid weakening consumer sentiment, with its latest price hike still more competitive than similarly-priced offerings by peers, while contributing meaningfully to the Services segment profit margins over the longer term.</p><p><b>Apple Music</b></p><p>The monthly subscription rate for Apple Music will increase from $9.99 to $10.99 for individuals, and the annual subscription rate from $99 to $109. This would effectively make the service more expensive than key rival Spotify&#39;s (SPOT) equivalent which is currently priced at $9.99 per month still.</p><p>The price hike was implemented to compensate for increasing content licensing costs for creators. Although the price increase for Apple Music subscriptions may seem like it will be another blow to the service&#39;s already laggard market share(~15%) compared to Spotify&#39;s (&gt;30%), we believe it will give Apple a leg up from a business and valuation perspective.</p><p>Specifically, Spotify currently reels from narrowing profit margins due to the same cost increases identified by Apple, underscoring that similar price hikes will likely be coming soon anyway. As such, we view the increase to Apple Music prices as a strategic move that will not only contribute positively to the Services segment&#39;s bottom line but also without the risks of material churn despite consumer weakness.</p><p><b>Apple One Bundle</b></p><p>The Apple One bundle - which allows up to six service subscriptions at a discounted price - has also implemented price increases across all of its variants offered. The standard bundle (individual subscription for Apple Music, TV+, Arcade, and iCloud+ with 50GB storage) will have its monthly subscription rate increase from $14.95 to $16.95; family bundle (five-people subscription for Apple Music, TV+, Arcade, and iCloud+ with total 200GB storage) from $19.95 to $22.95; and Premier bundle (same as family bundle, plus News+ and Fitness+) from $29.95 to $32.95.</p><p>The Apple One bundle has been a key contributor to overall growth observed in Apple&#39;s service subscription volumes and overall traction since its introduction in fiscal 2021, attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have subscribed to without the bundle discount. The bundle discount - even after the recent price increase - adds another positive touch to the service-specific value propositions for subscribers as discussed in the earlier section, which we view as a critical factor to mitigating risks of churn, while further bolstering Services growth.</p><p>The pricing advantage in Apple&#39;s Services segment is expected to contribute positively towards its longer-term valuation of about $1.5 trillion alone. Not only would it further improve the segment&#39;s profit margins - an increasingly prominent driver of Apple&#39;s free cash flows - but also help bolster the funding needed to support further expansion into additional services and upgrades that will aid penetration into a broader subscriber base over the longer term.</p><p><b>Near-Term Investment Risks to Consider</b></p><p><b>China Risks:</b> This has accordingly introduced demand risks to one of Apple&#39;s most core operating regions - China currently accounts of about a fifth of the company&#39;s consolidated sales and a quarter of the consolidated income. Concerns of said demand risks are further corroborated by the rare sighting of a direct pricing discount on certain devices introduced over the summer in China. Even during seasonality promotions - like back-to-school, Black Friday, and/or holiday-season sales - Apple has hardly ever offered direct pricing discounts, opting for gift card rebates on bundle purchases and/or gift-with-purchases instead.</p><p>In addition to demand risks, Apple also faces supply risks and geopolitical risks in the region.</p><p>Yet, we believe Apple has a few levers to pull still that can compensate for the said risks. On the supply front, Apple&#39;s importance to suppliers worldwide gives it leverage needed to compensate for supply-risk-driven cost efficiencies. This is consistent with Apple&#39;s power in price negotiations with key suppliers like Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), as well as previous observations that the tech giant&#39;s &#34;size and importance to suppliers&#34; was able to help it secure key components better than peers during the peak of supply shortages. Meanwhile, on the demand front, increasing momentum in Services as discussed in the foregoing analysis is expected to partially shield Apple from hardware demand risks in China within the foreseeable future, especially with robust market share gains observed across core operating regions like the U.S. and Europe.</p><p><b>Macro Risks:</b> FX and consumer slowdown are the biggest macro risks facing Apple today. FX risks are inevitable given the company&#39;s massive overseas operations amid a surging dollar environment as the Fed remains fixed on an aggressive rate hike trajectory to counter runaway inflation. And on the consumer slowdown front, Apple&#39;s upbeat showing for the September quarter also supports continued resilience relative to peers spanning PC/smartphone makers and service providers that have been losing market share.</p><p>In our view, we believe Mac and iPad sales are most susceptible to the near-term consumer slowdown, despite better-than-expected performance in the fiscal fourth quarter. First, the segments have already benefited from pulled-forward demand in the pandemic era, meaning forward momentum will likely remain moderate, especially with the looming economic downturn. Second, lost sales driven by supply chain constraints (most prominent in iPad segment) will likely see some of it becoming permanent instead of delayed due to consumers dialing back on discretionary spending amid deteriorating economic conditions. Lastly, previous expectations for stronger commercial IT spending that have benefited enterprise demand for Apple devices will likely moderate as well as budgets pullback to brace for near-term macroeconomic uncertainties. Worsening market trends are also contributing to anticipated challenges on Mac and iPad demand within the foreseeable future - the latest tally of global PC shipments in the calendar third quarter showed an accelerated decline this year, falling 6.8% y/y in 1Q22, 15% y/y in 2Q22, and 20% y/y in 3Q22, with 4Q22 numbers expected to worsen as consumers shun big-ticket items due to weakening spending power.</p><p>Yet, momentum in Services paired with Apple&#39;s pricing advantage as discussed in the foregoing analysis remains a key business strength that is expected to partially cushion some of the near-term impact on the macro-driven slowdown in product demand. Product upgrades, such as the latest introduction of a new Mac and iPad line-up retrofitted with next-generation Apple silicon, will likely help salvage product demand as well. This is further corroborated by Apple&#39;s rapid climb to the top, dethroning legacy PC makers like Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY), HP (HPE), and Dell (DELL) to become theindustry leader in the first half of the year.</p><p><b>Lengthening Product Cycle Risks:</b> Improving technology at Apple is also lengthening the upgrade cycle on its line-up of devices, which will potentially stagger the Products segment&#39;s growth outlook over the longer term. But Apple still has many levers to pull from a pricing and technology point-of-view to counter risks of growth slowdown due to lengthening product cycles in our opinion. For instance, Apple&#39;s transition to in-house designed silicon is a key advantage that will help attract demand stemming from both upgrades and switches and partially offset the growth slowdown in Products given their lengthened lifecycles. The company&#39;s potential introduction of a device subscription service would also drive improved economics for its Products segment over the longer term.</p><blockquote>Nonetheless, hardware sales are expected to imminently grow slower than Apple&#39;s services sales, given product revenue cycles are comparatively lengthier. For services, recurring revenues stemming from subscriptions come on a monthly or annual basis. But for products like iPhones and Macs, their lifecycles have grown from two years in the past to now aboutthreetofouryears and more than five years, respectively, thanks to continuous technological improvements. To put into perspective, the standard iPhone 14 starts at $799, which translates to about $266 in revenue per share if broken down based on a three-year lifespan. Comparatively, an annual subscription for the Apple One Bundle starts at [$203.40 per year (or $16.95 per month)], which is not too far off from the average annual revenue per iPhone, while boasting significantly more profitable margins. And while Apple&#39;s iPhone sales may be benefiting from broader industry tailwinds stemming from 5G transition, its large installed base is bound slow in growth based on the law of large numbers, signalling the double-digit multi-year CAGRs it once enjoyed are no more. It is no wonder that the company has been reportedly working on the launch of aproduct subscription modelto safeguard better economics over the longer term.</blockquote><blockquote>Source: &#34;Apple Services Is On A Critical Mission&#34;</blockquote><p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p>Market sentiment is becoming increasingly fragile, with many investors looking to the performance of large and mega caps - especially Apple - for hints on what forward consumer sentiment might look like and what they mean for the broader tech sector and the economy overall ahead of rising recession risks.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) has long been watched as the bellwether for consumer strength amid rising recession risks in recent months, and its latest resilience demonstrated in the September quarter with a double beat, paired with positive commentary on the business's strengths, sets a positive tone for fiscal 2023 despite looming macro uncertainties.Apple's September-quarter results suggest that affluent spend on premium products remains resilient, despite risks of overall consumer confidence deterioration in the near term with buckling budgets amid rising interest rates and inflation. This is further corroborated by stronger iPhone 14 Pro model sales compared with relatively lackluster take-rates on the new smartphone family's base model equivalents.We believe Apple's resilience demonstrated in the September quarter is also a result of prudent business management imposed at the decision-making level. This includes pulling forward the iPhone 14 launch to improve fiscal 2022 performance while allowing Apple to take advantage of earlier-than-expected holiday-season shopping trends this year as consumers spread out spending habits as budgets tighten amid an inflationary environment. Time and again, the value of Apple's prudent management at the decision-making level has shone through, playing a critical role in mitigating some of the impact from worsening consumer weakness observed in recent months that could have led to softer fundamentals.Meanwhile, management's allusion to \"strength of [Apple's] ecosystem, unmatched customer loyalty, and [an] active installed base of devices [reaching] a new all-time high\" kicks off fiscal 2023 with a strong positive note, underscoring the value of its pervasive ecosystem of high-demand hardware and complementary services that have become increasingly entwined with many aspects of daily personal settings, big and small. It is also consistent with rising investors' concerns about the impact of China - a critical market for Apple that showed signs of cracking after the company unleashed a rare round of discounts to attract demand over the summer.But sustained growth in the higher-margin Services segment continues to demonstrate the value of Apple's sprawling influence over the consumer end-market. This is further corroborated by Apple's earnings beat, underscoring the strength of Services' margins despite the tough consumer backdrop during the September quarter.While the stock has not lost as much of its value compared to its tech peers and the broader market amid this year's selloff, which raises concerns that it may become more \"vulnerable\" to further multiple contraction in the near-term given increasingly fragile market sentiment, we believe it will continue to fare better than most given the underlying business' robust fundamentals. Specifically, the robust momentum in Services maintained throughout the rising competition and deteriorating consumer sentiment in the third quarter continues to support its potential in ultimately accounting for half of Apple's valuation over the longer term, which reinforces the stock's$3 trillion thesis. Paired with Apple's upbeat F4Q22 results and management's positive tone on the forward prospects despite looming macro challenges, any near-term market volatility would likely continue to create compelling entry points for capitalizing on longer-term upsides.Profitable Growth is Key - And Services is Here For ItApple's Services segment demonstrated slower-than-expected but sustained growth in the September quarter, with sales increasing 5% y/y (inclusive of FX headwinds) and margins maintaining in the 70%-range despite inflationary pressures and consumer weakness. As discussed in our previous coverage on the stock, Apple's Services segment is becoming increasingly core to the company's long-term growth and profitability trajectory, especially with improved technological advancements in recent years and overall consumer weakness in the near-term lengthening upgrade cycles on devices.This is also music to investors' ears, as preference migrates from growth to profitability amid a souring macroeconomic outlook.In 2017, Apple - under the leadership of Tim Cook - vowed todoubleits services revenue by 2020. Since then, the segment has delivered with a multi-year compounded annual growth rate (\"CAGR\") of more than 20%, boasting close to $68.5 billion in annual revenues during fiscal 2021, and approaching $80 billion in the current fiscal year ending this week. Earlier this year, Wall Street predicted that Apple's services segment amounts to a$1.5 trillionvalue on its own, similar to our own predictions which will be discussed in further detail below.Although services sales growth has decelerated from its heights last year due to the moderation in demand from pulled-forward subscriptions during the pandemic era alongside broad-based macro weakness, the segment continues to boast robust double-digit expansion, reinforcing the bullish thesis surrounding Apple's sustained long-term growth and profitability trajectory.Source: \"Apple Services Is On A Critical Mission\"We see Services' critical role in safeguarding Apple's bottom line continuing into the upcoming holiday season, despite light growth and a slight miss as expected during the fiscal fourth quarter. We see our previously discussed base case where Services will continue to lead growth alongside hardware sales as a highly likely scenario as Apple navigates through macro challenges in the near term. And the company's recent decision to raise prices on some of its core Services offerings - including Apple TV+, Apple Music and the Apple One bundle - will likely give the segment's momentum another leg up heading into fiscal 2023, as opposed to weighing further on weakening consumer sentiment since Apple has a strong value proposition to do so.Apple TV+Apple raised the monthly Apple TV+ subscription rate from $4.99 to $6.99, and annual subscription rate from $49 to $69, which went into effect earlier this week. While the price hike for Apple TV+ is not small - a whopping 40%+ - it remains competitive relative to rival streaming platforms spanning Netflix(NFLX), Disney+(DIS), and HBO Max(WBD), to name a few, including their respective ad-supported tiers that are / will be marketed as a \"cheaper\" alternative.We also believe Apple has the right value proposition for jacking up Apple TV+'s pricing, which will effectively help reduce potential churn in the aftermath. Specifically, Apple TV+ was \"introduced at a very low price because it started with just a few shows and movies.\" But now, it has grown into an extensive library of \"award-winning and broadly acclaimed series, feature films, documentaries, and kids and family entertainment,\" which is further corroborated by its rapidly rising global market share of more than 6%, putting rival platforms on notice.Yet, at the new price tag of $6.99 per month, Apple TV+ - which is currently ad-free and offers unlimited access to its entire catalogue of scripted and non-scripted content, alongside live sporting events such as \"Friday Night Baseball\" - the streaming platform still beats equivalents in the pricing segment. This includes Netflix and Disney+'s upcoming ad-supported tier priced at $6.99 and $7.99 per month, respectively, and HBO Max's ad-supported tier priced at $10 per month, with some not even offering access to live sporting events, which is a key demand driver in streaming that Apple TV+ is benefiting from. This continues to underscore Apple TV+'s pricing advantage amid weakening consumer sentiment, with its latest price hike still more competitive than similarly-priced offerings by peers, while contributing meaningfully to the Services segment profit margins over the longer term.Apple MusicThe monthly subscription rate for Apple Music will increase from $9.99 to $10.99 for individuals, and the annual subscription rate from $99 to $109. This would effectively make the service more expensive than key rival Spotify's (SPOT) equivalent which is currently priced at $9.99 per month still.The price hike was implemented to compensate for increasing content licensing costs for creators. Although the price increase for Apple Music subscriptions may seem like it will be another blow to the service's already laggard market share(~15%) compared to Spotify's (>30%), we believe it will give Apple a leg up from a business and valuation perspective.Specifically, Spotify currently reels from narrowing profit margins due to the same cost increases identified by Apple, underscoring that similar price hikes will likely be coming soon anyway. As such, we view the increase to Apple Music prices as a strategic move that will not only contribute positively to the Services segment's bottom line but also without the risks of material churn despite consumer weakness.Apple One BundleThe Apple One bundle - which allows up to six service subscriptions at a discounted price - has also implemented price increases across all of its variants offered. The standard bundle (individual subscription for Apple Music, TV+, Arcade, and iCloud+ with 50GB storage) will have its monthly subscription rate increase from $14.95 to $16.95; family bundle (five-people subscription for Apple Music, TV+, Arcade, and iCloud+ with total 200GB storage) from $19.95 to $22.95; and Premier bundle (same as family bundle, plus News+ and Fitness+) from $29.95 to $32.95.The Apple One bundle has been a key contributor to overall growth observed in Apple's service subscription volumes and overall traction since its introduction in fiscal 2021, attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have subscribed to without the bundle discount. The bundle discount - even after the recent price increase - adds another positive touch to the service-specific value propositions for subscribers as discussed in the earlier section, which we view as a critical factor to mitigating risks of churn, while further bolstering Services growth.The pricing advantage in Apple's Services segment is expected to contribute positively towards its longer-term valuation of about $1.5 trillion alone. Not only would it further improve the segment's profit margins - an increasingly prominent driver of Apple's free cash flows - but also help bolster the funding needed to support further expansion into additional services and upgrades that will aid penetration into a broader subscriber base over the longer term.Near-Term Investment Risks to ConsiderChina Risks: This has accordingly introduced demand risks to one of Apple's most core operating regions - China currently accounts of about a fifth of the company's consolidated sales and a quarter of the consolidated income. Concerns of said demand risks are further corroborated by the rare sighting of a direct pricing discount on certain devices introduced over the summer in China. Even during seasonality promotions - like back-to-school, Black Friday, and/or holiday-season sales - Apple has hardly ever offered direct pricing discounts, opting for gift card rebates on bundle purchases and/or gift-with-purchases instead.In addition to demand risks, Apple also faces supply risks and geopolitical risks in the region.Yet, we believe Apple has a few levers to pull still that can compensate for the said risks. On the supply front, Apple's importance to suppliers worldwide gives it leverage needed to compensate for supply-risk-driven cost efficiencies. This is consistent with Apple's power in price negotiations with key suppliers like Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), as well as previous observations that the tech giant's \"size and importance to suppliers\" was able to help it secure key components better than peers during the peak of supply shortages. Meanwhile, on the demand front, increasing momentum in Services as discussed in the foregoing analysis is expected to partially shield Apple from hardware demand risks in China within the foreseeable future, especially with robust market share gains observed across core operating regions like the U.S. and Europe.Macro Risks: FX and consumer slowdown are the biggest macro risks facing Apple today. FX risks are inevitable given the company's massive overseas operations amid a surging dollar environment as the Fed remains fixed on an aggressive rate hike trajectory to counter runaway inflation. And on the consumer slowdown front, Apple's upbeat showing for the September quarter also supports continued resilience relative to peers spanning PC/smartphone makers and service providers that have been losing market share.In our view, we believe Mac and iPad sales are most susceptible to the near-term consumer slowdown, despite better-than-expected performance in the fiscal fourth quarter. First, the segments have already benefited from pulled-forward demand in the pandemic era, meaning forward momentum will likely remain moderate, especially with the looming economic downturn. Second, lost sales driven by supply chain constraints (most prominent in iPad segment) will likely see some of it becoming permanent instead of delayed due to consumers dialing back on discretionary spending amid deteriorating economic conditions. Lastly, previous expectations for stronger commercial IT spending that have benefited enterprise demand for Apple devices will likely moderate as well as budgets pullback to brace for near-term macroeconomic uncertainties. Worsening market trends are also contributing to anticipated challenges on Mac and iPad demand within the foreseeable future - the latest tally of global PC shipments in the calendar third quarter showed an accelerated decline this year, falling 6.8% y/y in 1Q22, 15% y/y in 2Q22, and 20% y/y in 3Q22, with 4Q22 numbers expected to worsen as consumers shun big-ticket items due to weakening spending power.Yet, momentum in Services paired with Apple's pricing advantage as discussed in the foregoing analysis remains a key business strength that is expected to partially cushion some of the near-term impact on the macro-driven slowdown in product demand. Product upgrades, such as the latest introduction of a new Mac and iPad line-up retrofitted with next-generation Apple silicon, will likely help salvage product demand as well. This is further corroborated by Apple's rapid climb to the top, dethroning legacy PC makers like Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY), HP (HPE), and Dell (DELL) to become theindustry leader in the first half of the year.Lengthening Product Cycle Risks: Improving technology at Apple is also lengthening the upgrade cycle on its line-up of devices, which will potentially stagger the Products segment's growth outlook over the longer term. But Apple still has many levers to pull from a pricing and technology point-of-view to counter risks of growth slowdown due to lengthening product cycles in our opinion. For instance, Apple's transition to in-house designed silicon is a key advantage that will help attract demand stemming from both upgrades and switches and partially offset the growth slowdown in Products given their lengthened lifecycles. The company's potential introduction of a device subscription service would also drive improved economics for its Products segment over the longer term.Nonetheless, hardware sales are expected to imminently grow slower than Apple's services sales, given product revenue cycles are comparatively lengthier. For services, recurring revenues stemming from subscriptions come on a monthly or annual basis. But for products like iPhones and Macs, their lifecycles have grown from two years in the past to now aboutthreetofouryears and more than five years, respectively, thanks to continuous technological improvements. To put into perspective, the standard iPhone 14 starts at $799, which translates to about $266 in revenue per share if broken down based on a three-year lifespan. Comparatively, an annual subscription for the Apple One Bundle starts at [$203.40 per year (or $16.95 per month)], which is not too far off from the average annual revenue per iPhone, while boasting significantly more profitable margins. And while Apple's iPhone sales may be benefiting from broader industry tailwinds stemming from 5G transition, its large installed base is bound slow in growth based on the law of large numbers, signalling the double-digit multi-year CAGRs it once enjoyed are no more. It is no wonder that the company has been reportedly working on the launch of aproduct subscription modelto safeguard better economics over the longer term.Source: \"Apple Services Is On A Critical Mission\"Final ThoughtsMarket sentiment is becoming increasingly fragile, with many investors looking to the performance of large and mega caps - especially Apple - for hints on what forward consumer sentiment might look like and what they mean for the broader tech sector and the economy overall ahead of rising recession risks. This is especially true given Apple, along with its mega-cap peers spanning Alphabet(GOOG/GOOGL), Microsoft(MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN), account for \"nearly a fifth\" of the S&P 500's value today, or more than 30%of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (Apple alone is the largest influence, accounting for 15% of the weight of the Nasdaq 100).While Apple's valuation remains lofty at \"23x forward earnings, above both its long-term average and the market overall,\" which potentially exposes it to further volatility as market sentiment remains fragile over coming months in anticipation of a cascading economy, we believe its strong F4Q22 performance and positive tone heading into fiscal 2023 reinforces the company's fundamental strength.

Despite the weight of FX headwinds which were largely expected given the rapid surge in the dollar in recent months and observed in the large gap between Google’s 6% y/y revenue growth and the 11% constant currency equivalent, the company continued to benefit from “growth in Search and momentum in Cloud.”</p><p>Google Search and YouTube advertising demand was a key focus area for many investors heading into its latest earnings release, as talks about softening ad spending have gained momentum in recent months. Markets have been bracing for a slowdown in consumer spending and an impending recession. Investors’ angst only worsened after advertising peer Snap Inc. (SNAP) reported the “worst revenue growth rate in its history,” elevating concerns over rising competition and broader macro headwinds. However, Google’s delivery of advertising sales growth in Q3 2022 (inclusive of FX headwind) suggests it continues to benefit as a market leader, as advertisers remain cautions on the allocation of ad dollars, favoring the best “value for money” ad distribution channels amid a looming economic downturn.</p><p>Google Cloud is another key spotlight for the company, as the segment maintains momentum by benefiting from the increasing adoption of a multi-cloud strategy across the commercial sector. The segment’s continued growth also contributes positively to its profitability trajectory – something that investors are hoping would come soon to match the lucrative margins achieved by rivals AWS (AMZN) and Azure (MSFT).</p><p>Solid fundamentals backed by a sustained moat, paired with its increasing share in the burgeoning cloud market continues to be the key bullish narratives driving the Google stock’s forward uptrend prospects. While Google has made a few brief appearances in the sub-$100 level over recent weeks, we remain optimistic that the stock has found bottom at current levels of about 20x forward earnings compared with the large-cap median of around 28x.</p><p><b>Google Shows How Valuable Its Moat Is</b></p><p>Google’s moat in digital ads has long been dubbed its key bullish thesis. Yet, nobody has really seen how strong and resilient it has become until the rapid deterioration of global macroeconomic conditions observed in recent months. The company’s 3Q22 ad revenue growth (+6% y/y; -1% q/q, inclusive of FX headwinds) continues to demonstrate not only the competitive advantage of its market dominance, but also the prudent management of its ad business strategy with diversified distribution outlets to mitigate concentration risk (cue social media turmoil with data signal loss).</p><p>Major challenges in digital advertising today include diminishing ad dollars ahead of a looming recession, industry-specific headwinds regarding restricted user data access, and an overall increase in competition. But Google’s moat with Search and YouTube continues mitigate its exposure to such risks.</p><p>Digital formats currently account for close to two-thirds of ad placements, displacing traditional distribution channels (e.g., linear TV; radio; paper). The majority of ad dollars were allocated to digital media in 1H22, with search and short-form video being two of the most common platforms, boasting19% and 14% y/y growth, respectively. And the trends are expected to last in the foreseeable future, with search ads expected to close the current year with at least 17% y/y growth, and short-form video/streaming 22%.</p><p>This continues to make strong tailwinds for Google’s advertising business, representing a massive growth opportunity for its moat to capitalize on. This is especially true under the current market climate, where advertisers are looking for distribution formats that can provide good value for money. YouTube currently accounts for 8% of all TV usage in the U.S. alone, beating Netflix’s(NFLX) 7%, which supports favorable reach for ads. Despite rising competition from TikTok on capturing share of total user screen time, Google’s equivalent YouTube Shorts are capitalizing on digital advertising opportunities well by improving monetizationand enabling ad revenue sharing with content creators. Meanwhile, Google Search remains the leading online search engine, facilitating close to 10 billion search requests per day.</p><p>Merchants currently spend on average 3.8% of its revenues on advertising, which is a material number considering the increasing focus on expanding profit margins to brace for the impending market downturn. Recentresearchshows that ad spending needs to be within the range of 1% to 9% of revenues paired with a fair “channel mix” in order to achieve optimal engagement and conversion results. With Google Search and YouTube being dominant ad distribution engines today, the company continues to be the best choice for all advertisers and merchants, large and small.</p><p>In addition to favorable market trends, Google’s advertising business is also expected to benefit from improved ad spending ahead of the upcoming holiday season. Industry trackers continue to show that m/m ad spending has steadily increased since September, with holiday advertising budgets “ratcheting up” earlier than expected this year in October. This is further corroborated with expectations for the holiday shopping season to startearlierthis year, as consumers look to take advantage of sales and discounts to compensate for rising inflationary pressures.</p><p>In addition to expectations for improved demand volume in 4Q22, we also think Google will benefit from pricing gains. Specifically, recent 3P data has demonstrated some “bias in ad spend towards [Meta Platforms] (META) compared to Google due to [return on ad spending / cost per action] (“ROA” / “CPA”) improvements via Advantage+” (Advantage+ is a new advertising format offered by Meta Platforms – see morehere). While this may seem like competition headwinds for Google, we think its higher cost per mille (“CPM,” or cost per every 1,000 ad impressions) will pay-off over the longer-term. This circles back to Google’s moat in digital ads – its platforms deliver. Although Meta Platforms has beenlowering its ad pricingsteadily this year to attract better take-rates and compensate Apple’s signal loss headwinds (which is good for the company, in our opinion), we think the fact that market expectations for social media ad spend to fall from 38% y/y growth last year to merely 3.2% y/y growth this year continues to corroborate more robust demand for Google’s advertising formats within the foreseeable future – especially as advertisers remain cautious on ad spending in the near-term.</p><p><b>GCP On Cloud 9</b></p><p>Although Google Cloud Platform (“GCP”) is currently the third largest public cloud service provider, it has always been the underdog given the glaring distance between its market share size compared to AWS and Azure’s. Yet, the increasing adoption of a multi-cloud strategy across corporate settings due to benefits spanning “risk mitigation, reliability/redundancy”, multi-function availability, and most importantly, cost-efficiencies is narrowing that gap for GCP from its leading contenders. And the segment’s robust 3Q22 results (revenue +38% y/y, +9% q/q; operating loss lowered by 19% q/q) solidifies that outlook.</p><p>Looking ahead, we see a continuation of this gradual build-up in GCP momentum supported by favorable take-rates observed across both large enterprises and small- and medium-sized businesses. And this will be critical to bringing the segment to ultimate profitability that imitates the ever-expanding margins observed at AWS and Azure through rapid scale, providing another cash-generating moat for the consolidated company.</p><p>Currently, close to 90% of corporations that have begun their respective transitions from legacy IT infrastructures to the cloud have indicated that they use “multiple public cloud providers,” with many indicating spending intentions on GCP in the foreseeable future, underscoring potential for greater penetration into opportunities across large and medium-sized enterprises currently dominated by AWS and Azure within the near-term. GCP is also gaining traction among small enterprises, tying with Azure in second place in terms of market share at 30%. Although SMBs are typically considered the more recession-prone cohort, which could potentially subject GCP to greater macro risk exposure within the near-term relative to AWS and Azure, cloud budgets have remained resilient so far:</p><blockquote>[Dan] Ives said cybersecurity earnings should also hold up well as spending on cloud transformation projects, data analytics and hybrid cloud integrations are still getting &#34;green lighted&#34; by many companies due to budgets already being set going into next year.</blockquote><blockquote>Source:Seeking Alpha</blockquote><p>This is also consistent with findings discussed in ourprevious coverage, where the migration to cloud remains a key deflationary factor:</p><blockquote>Google Cloud’s continued growth trajectory is further corroborated by resilient demand despite broad-based macro challenges – building a digital fabric remains acritical missionfor the commercial sector in order to ensure &#34;improved productivity in the inflationary environment&#34;, meaning IT spending on migrating workloads to the cloud and other digital transformation projects will remain strong.</blockquote><blockquote>Source: “Google&#39;s Post-Earnings Rally Signals The Bottom Is In”</blockquote><p>We also view Google’s plans to penetrate underserved markets as a prudent strategy to address the massive market share gap between GCP and market leaders AWS and Azure. The company’s latest decision to introduce its cloud-computing services inSouth Africaas part of its $1 billion multi-year investment strategy in Africa is expected to further its global market share within the fast-expanding industry. By building out local cloud infrastructure in South Africa, GCP ensures reliability of its services provided, while also addressing local data storage requirements, making it an optimal choice for the region’s commercial segment.</p><p>In addition to expanding GCP’s global availability to bolster its competitiveness within the cloud-computing market, Google has also ramped up its AI capabilities and related offerings, addressing a factor that has become increasingly critical within commercial IT environments. These include the recent introduction ofVertex AI Vision, an AI-enabled image recognition tool;Translation Hub, which uses AI to translate entire documents in 135 different languages; andContact Center AI, an AI-enabled customer service tool. By double-downing on developments in AI/ML, Google effectively bolsters GCP’s ability to address increasing considerations/demand for automation when key decision-makers evaluate IT vendors today. This is also consistent with the fact thatmore than 40%of corporate employees across the U.S. have pointed to the use of low-code techniques as critical in the increasingly data-driven workplace.</p><p>Last but not least, Google’s acquisition of Mandiant this year is expected to further improve GCP growth over the longer-term. Security currently presents itself as the most resilient segment in software amid looming recession risks. Close to 95% of corporate America has suggested that security spend will continue to increase despite near-term macro uncertainties, making it a key investment area due to an increased urgency to protect data fromrising cyber threats.</p><p>The Google-Mandiant combination has already resulted in synergies, with a new joint cybersecurity initiative –Mandiant Breach AnalyticsforChronicle Security Operations– to address said opportunities. Chronicle is a suite of cybersecurity solutions offered as part of GCP. And Mandiant Breach Analytics is the newest cyber threat detection and response tool developed by Mandiant that leverages the “power of the Google Cloud Chronicle Security Operations suite” to enable rapid threat detection and response. Key features of Mandiant Breach Analytics include reducing the time between “cyber intrusion” and “discovery and response” from the current average of about 21 days, and offering “active insight into threats” that can help GCP customers take swift action to “mitigate the impact of targeted attacks, while reducing the cost of current approaches.”</p><p><b>Key Risk Considerations</b></p><p>The irony between Google’s 3Q double-miss and outperforming fundamentals compared to its peer group underscores the impact of growing FX headwinds on the business. With the dollar expected to maintain a rapid rise over coming months as the Fed remains pressed on an aggressive rate hike agenda to tame inflation, FX will remain a near-term overhang on Google’s fundamental performance. More than half of the company’s revenues are currently generated from operations outside of the U.S., underscoring its significant exposure to FX headwinds over coming months. Yet, this is not an idiosyncratic risk to Google – in fact, even if the business shows 100% resiliency against the looming economic downturn, FX impacts will still erode its fundamental outperformance due to the global scale of its business.</p><p>Competition is another key risk, though Google is expected to navigate through this business challenge better than peers. On the advertising front, Google continues to benefit from market leading reach, especially in Search. Meanwhile, YouTube remains a key shareholder of daily user screentime. Although YouTube ad revenues showed its first sequential decline in two years during the third quarter, which implies softness in take-rates that were insufficient to overcome FX headwinds, we expect results from the newly implemented monetization efforts on Shorts paired with the platform’s increasing share of user screen time to ramp up and become more evident over coming months. Meanwhile, on the cloud-computing front, we believe GCP’s momentum demonstrated in 3Q22 puts rivals AWS and Azure on notice – if anything, GCP is a rising contender, instead of one that is losing market share within the fast-expanding yet increasingly crowded cloud-computing landscape.</p><p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p><p>Google’s resilience demonstrated through a tough 3Q22 macro environment should assuage investors’ concerns over increasing fragility in ad spending given looming economic weakness. We believe 3Q was a big test for investors’ confidence in the Google stock, and the company’s robust fundamental showing (barring FX headwinds) and favorable forward market trends discussed in the foregoing analysis over the immediate- and longer-term shows it has passed the test.</p><p>With Google now trading below “its 10-year average and the Nasdaq 100 overall,” and underlying fundamentals that continue to outperform those of its peers, the latest market selloff has created a compelling entry opportunity for Google stock as a long-term investment.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Google A Buy After Q3 Earnings?

Yet, its core underlying business in advertising and cloud-computing remains strong.FX was the biggest drag on Google's results, which was further corroborated by double-digit constant currency growth observed across its core segments, as previously expected.We believe Google's Q3 2022 results demonstrate resilience, making the stock's latest knee-jerk pullback on the double-miss a compelling entry opportunity.No company is immune to looming macroeconomic headwinds, yet Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL) (\"Google\")Q3 2022 results have proven that it continues to be more resilient than most – especially its ad-focused peers that continue to reel from the double-whammy of macro-driven ad spending weakness and Apple’s (AAPL) signal loss. Despite the weight of FX headwinds which were largely expected given the rapid surge in the dollar in recent months and observed in the large gap between Google’s 6% y/y revenue growth and the 11% constant currency equivalent, the company continued to benefit from “growth in Search and momentum in Cloud.”Google Search and YouTube advertising demand was a key focus area for many investors heading into its latest earnings release, as talks about softening ad spending have gained momentum in recent months. Markets have been bracing for a slowdown in consumer spending and an impending recession. Investors’ angst only worsened after advertising peer Snap Inc. (SNAP) reported the “worst revenue growth rate in its history,” elevating concerns over rising competition and broader macro headwinds. However, Google’s delivery of advertising sales growth in Q3 2022 (inclusive of FX headwind) suggests it continues to benefit as a market leader, as advertisers remain cautions on the allocation of ad dollars, favoring the best “value for money” ad distribution channels amid a looming economic downturn.Google Cloud is another key spotlight for the company, as the segment maintains momentum by benefiting from the increasing adoption of a multi-cloud strategy across the commercial sector. The segment’s continued growth also contributes positively to its profitability trajectory – something that investors are hoping would come soon to match the lucrative margins achieved by rivals AWS (AMZN) and Azure (MSFT).Solid fundamentals backed by a sustained moat, paired with its increasing share in the burgeoning cloud market continues to be the key bullish narratives driving the Google stock’s forward uptrend prospects. While Google has made a few brief appearances in the sub-$100 level over recent weeks, we remain optimistic that the stock has found bottom at current levels of about 20x forward earnings compared with the large-cap median of around 28x.Google Shows How Valuable Its Moat IsGoogle’s moat in digital ads has long been dubbed its key bullish thesis. Yet, nobody has really seen how strong and resilient it has become until the rapid deterioration of global macroeconomic conditions observed in recent months. The company’s 3Q22 ad revenue growth (+6% y/y; -1% q/q, inclusive of FX headwinds) continues to demonstrate not only the competitive advantage of its market dominance, but also the prudent management of its ad business strategy with diversified distribution outlets to mitigate concentration risk (cue social media turmoil with data signal loss).Major challenges in digital advertising today include diminishing ad dollars ahead of a looming recession, industry-specific headwinds regarding restricted user data access, and an overall increase in competition. But Google’s moat with Search and YouTube continues mitigate its exposure to such risks.Digital formats currently account for close to two-thirds of ad placements, displacing traditional distribution channels (e.g., linear TV; radio; paper). The majority of ad dollars were allocated to digital media in 1H22, with search and short-form video being two of the most common platforms, boasting19% and 14% y/y growth, respectively. And the trends are expected to last in the foreseeable future, with search ads expected to close the current year with at least 17% y/y growth, and short-form video/streaming 22%.This continues to make strong tailwinds for Google’s advertising business, representing a massive growth opportunity for its moat to capitalize on. This is especially true under the current market climate, where advertisers are looking for distribution formats that can provide good value for money. YouTube currently accounts for 8% of all TV usage in the U.S. alone, beating Netflix’s(NFLX) 7%, which supports favorable reach for ads. Despite rising competition from TikTok on capturing share of total user screen time, Google’s equivalent YouTube Shorts are capitalizing on digital advertising opportunities well by improving monetizationand enabling ad revenue sharing with content creators. Meanwhile, Google Search remains the leading online search engine, facilitating close to 10 billion search requests per day.Merchants currently spend on average 3.8% of its revenues on advertising, which is a material number considering the increasing focus on expanding profit margins to brace for the impending market downturn. Recentresearchshows that ad spending needs to be within the range of 1% to 9% of revenues paired with a fair “channel mix” in order to achieve optimal engagement and conversion results. With Google Search and YouTube being dominant ad distribution engines today, the company continues to be the best choice for all advertisers and merchants, large and small.In addition to favorable market trends, Google’s advertising business is also expected to benefit from improved ad spending ahead of the upcoming holiday season. Industry trackers continue to show that m/m ad spending has steadily increased since September, with holiday advertising budgets “ratcheting up” earlier than expected this year in October. This is further corroborated with expectations for the holiday shopping season to startearlierthis year, as consumers look to take advantage of sales and discounts to compensate for rising inflationary pressures.In addition to expectations for improved demand volume in 4Q22, we also think Google will benefit from pricing gains. Specifically, recent 3P data has demonstrated some “bias in ad spend towards [Meta Platforms] (META) compared to Google due to [return on ad spending / cost per action] (“ROA” / “CPA”) improvements via Advantage+” (Advantage+ is a new advertising format offered by Meta Platforms – see morehere). While this may seem like competition headwinds for Google, we think its higher cost per mille (“CPM,” or cost per every 1,000 ad impressions) will pay-off over the longer-term. This circles back to Google’s moat in digital ads – its platforms deliver. Although Meta Platforms has beenlowering its ad pricingsteadily this year to attract better take-rates and compensate Apple’s signal loss headwinds (which is good for the company, in our opinion), we think the fact that market expectations for social media ad spend to fall from 38% y/y growth last year to merely 3.2% y/y growth this year continues to corroborate more robust demand for Google’s advertising formats within the foreseeable future – especially as advertisers remain cautious on ad spending in the near-term.GCP On Cloud 9Although Google Cloud Platform (“GCP”) is currently the third largest public cloud service provider, it has always been the underdog given the glaring distance between its market share size compared to AWS and Azure’s. Yet, the increasing adoption of a multi-cloud strategy across corporate settings due to benefits spanning “risk mitigation, reliability/redundancy”, multi-function availability, and most importantly, cost-efficiencies is narrowing that gap for GCP from its leading contenders. And the segment’s robust 3Q22 results (revenue +38% y/y, +9% q/q; operating loss lowered by 19% q/q) solidifies that outlook.Looking ahead, we see a continuation of this gradual build-up in GCP momentum supported by favorable take-rates observed across both large enterprises and small- and medium-sized businesses. And this will be critical to bringing the segment to ultimate profitability that imitates the ever-expanding margins observed at AWS and Azure through rapid scale, providing another cash-generating moat for the consolidated company.Currently, close to 90% of corporations that have begun their respective transitions from legacy IT infrastructures to the cloud have indicated that they use “multiple public cloud providers,” with many indicating spending intentions on GCP in the foreseeable future, underscoring potential for greater penetration into opportunities across large and medium-sized enterprises currently dominated by AWS and Azure within the near-term. GCP is also gaining traction among small enterprises, tying with Azure in second place in terms of market share at 30%. Although SMBs are typically considered the more recession-prone cohort, which could potentially subject GCP to greater macro risk exposure within the near-term relative to AWS and Azure, cloud budgets have remained resilient so far:[Dan] Ives said cybersecurity earnings should also hold up well as spending on cloud transformation projects, data analytics and hybrid cloud integrations are still getting \"green lighted\" by many companies due to budgets already being set going into next year.Source:Seeking AlphaThis is also consistent with findings discussed in ourprevious coverage, where the migration to cloud remains a key deflationary factor:Google Cloud’s continued growth trajectory is further corroborated by resilient demand despite broad-based macro challenges – building a digital fabric remains acritical missionfor the commercial sector in order to ensure \"improved productivity in the inflationary environment\", meaning IT spending on migrating workloads to the cloud and other digital transformation projects will remain strong.Source: “Google's Post-Earnings Rally Signals The Bottom Is In”We also view Google’s plans to penetrate underserved markets as a prudent strategy to address the massive market share gap between GCP and market leaders AWS and Azure. The company’s latest decision to introduce its cloud-computing services inSouth Africaas part of its $1 billion multi-year investment strategy in Africa is expected to further its global market share within the fast-expanding industry. By building out local cloud infrastructure in South Africa, GCP ensures reliability of its services provided, while also addressing local data storage requirements, making it an optimal choice for the region’s commercial segment.In addition to expanding GCP’s global availability to bolster its competitiveness within the cloud-computing market, Google has also ramped up its AI capabilities and related offerings, addressing a factor that has become increasingly critical within commercial IT environments. These include the recent introduction ofVertex AI Vision, an AI-enabled image recognition tool;Translation Hub, which uses AI to translate entire documents in 135 different languages; andContact Center AI, an AI-enabled customer service tool. By double-downing on developments in AI/ML, Google effectively bolsters GCP’s ability to address increasing considerations/demand for automation when key decision-makers evaluate IT vendors today. This is also consistent with the fact thatmore than 40%of corporate employees across the U.S. have pointed to the use of low-code techniques as critical in the increasingly data-driven workplace.Last but not least, Google’s acquisition of Mandiant this year is expected to further improve GCP growth over the longer-term. Security currently presents itself as the most resilient segment in software amid looming recession risks. Close to 95% of corporate America has suggested that security spend will continue to increase despite near-term macro uncertainties, making it a key investment area due to an increased urgency to protect data fromrising cyber threats.The Google-Mandiant combination has already resulted in synergies, with a new joint cybersecurity initiative –Mandiant Breach AnalyticsforChronicle Security Operations– to address said opportunities. Chronicle is a suite of cybersecurity solutions offered as part of GCP. And Mandiant Breach Analytics is the newest cyber threat detection and response tool developed by Mandiant that leverages the “power of the Google Cloud Chronicle Security Operations suite” to enable rapid threat detection and response. Key features of Mandiant Breach Analytics include reducing the time between “cyber intrusion” and “discovery and response” from the current average of about 21 days, and offering “active insight into threats” that can help GCP customers take swift action to “mitigate the impact of targeted attacks, while reducing the cost of current approaches.”Key Risk ConsiderationsThe irony between Google’s 3Q double-miss and outperforming fundamentals compared to its peer group underscores the impact of growing FX headwinds on the business. With the dollar expected to maintain a rapid rise over coming months as the Fed remains pressed on an aggressive rate hike agenda to tame inflation, FX will remain a near-term overhang on Google’s fundamental performance. More than half of the company’s revenues are currently generated from operations outside of the U.S., underscoring its significant exposure to FX headwinds over coming months. Yet, this is not an idiosyncratic risk to Google – in fact, even if the business shows 100% resiliency against the looming economic downturn, FX impacts will still erode its fundamental outperformance due to the global scale of its business.Competition is another key risk, though Google is expected to navigate through this business challenge better than peers. On the advertising front, Google continues to benefit from market leading reach, especially in Search. Meanwhile, YouTube remains a key shareholder of daily user screentime. Although YouTube ad revenues showed its first sequential decline in two years during the third quarter, which implies softness in take-rates that were insufficient to overcome FX headwinds, we expect results from the newly implemented monetization efforts on Shorts paired with the platform’s increasing share of user screen time to ramp up and become more evident over coming months. Meanwhile, on the cloud-computing front, we believe GCP’s momentum demonstrated in 3Q22 puts rivals AWS and Azure on notice – if anything, GCP is a rising contender, instead of one that is losing market share within the fast-expanding yet increasingly crowded cloud-computing landscape.Final ThoughtsGoogle’s resilience demonstrated through a tough 3Q22 macro environment should assuage investors’ concerns over increasing fragility in ad spending given looming economic weakness. We believe 3Q was a big test for investors’ confidence in the Google stock, and the company’s robust fundamental showing (barring FX headwinds) and favorable forward market trends discussed in the foregoing analysis over the immediate- and longer-term shows it has passed the test.With Google now trading below “its 10-year average and the Nasdaq 100 overall,” and underlying fundamentals that continue to outperform those of its peers, the latest market selloff has created a compelling entry opportunity for Google stock as a long-term investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":60,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9988404052,"gmtCreate":1666801036077,"gmtModify":1676537808613,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah","listText":"Yeah","text":"Yeah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9988404052","repostId":"2278956774","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2278956774","pubTimestamp":1666798201,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2278956774?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-26 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Big-Time Passive Income Stocks to Consider Loading Up On During the Bear Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2278956774","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These companies offer big-time dividend yields.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Bear markets can be an opportunity for those with cash sitting on the sidelines.

With their stock prices lower and dividend yields higher, they look like attractive options for those looking to take advantage of the bear market to boost their passive income.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":263,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9988408713,"gmtCreate":1666800439132,"gmtModify":1676537808524,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👌","listText":"👌","text":"👌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9988408713","repostId":"1198969138","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9988408548,"gmtCreate":1666800416284,"gmtModify":1676537808524,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmm","listText":"Hmmm","text":"Hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9988408548","repostId":"2278672309","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2278672309","pubTimestamp":1666778473,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2278672309?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-26 18:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Has An Elon Musk Problem","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2278672309","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryTesla's growth is astonishing and it continued to hold significant market share in the United States and around the world in the all-electric vehicle industry.But with their currently-high valu","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Tesla&#39;s growth is astonishing and it continued to hold significant market share in the United States and around the world in the all-electric vehicle industry.</li><li>But with their currently-high valuation relative to peers directly tied, I believe, to Elon Musk&#39;s involvement with the company - recent events may change that.</li><li>As a result, I evaluate the company&#39;s current fair value and believe it is lower enough to avoid the company altogether until it reaches more realistic levels.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/036a30b7377f20abe9dceec9a63d51f5\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Justin Sullivan</span></p><p>Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is an interesting growth story and one for the ages.

While this may not mean much for Tesla in the near term, it certainly will mean a lot in the longer term. There are hundreds of new all-electric and plug-in hybrid models hitting the streets (pun intended) in the coming years and while that may not do much for a few years, it&#39;s bound to cut into their market share.</p><p>In fact, that&#39;s already been happening.

But context here is very important.</p><p>The company does have things it can do, which don&#39;t require some magical solution by the contrarian-thinking Elon Musk - things like lowering their prices to outmaneuver other companies introducing high-end (ish) all-electric vehicles and things of that nature. But there&#39;s still an issue.</p><p>The issue is Elon Musk. While most of the world was struggling with updating the technology in regular automobiles, he was 10 steps ahead with battery technology advancements, technological advancements, EV range increases, charging station expansions and many other things.</p><p>This forward-thinking vision is exactly what made Tesla the hype (rightfully so, not in a bad way) which it is today and I don&#39;t believe the company will be where it is today without him. But for how long is he going to stay?</p><h3>Twitter Is Hardly The Only Issue</h3><p>As we&#39;ve seen with Jack Dorsey when he operated both Square (SQ) and Twitter (TWTR), it&#39;s nearly impossible to run multiple companies at once and do a great job at all of them, even if you&#39;re Elon Musk.</p><p>While Mr. Musk runs Tesla&#39;s as its chief-product-officer, as he dubs himself, he also runs SpaceX (SPACE), The Boring Company, SolarCity (part of Tesla) and other AI (artificial intelligence) companies and he now picked up Twitter.</p><p>While he did sell a significant portion of his Tesla stock to do so, diluting his ownership, it&#39;s the hands-off approach I think is coming to Tesla which can hurt valuation. Not only is there a board which can hold this work ethic accountable for the time spent elsewhere, it&#39;s about where he spends most of his time.</p><p>During the company&#39;s near-bankruptcy times a few years back, Elon Musk notoriously slept on the factory floor to make sure production headwinds were dealt with and it was undoubtedly one of the reasons employees, officers and other mangers managed to get the job done and get vehicles out for delivery.</p><p>Can Elon Must continue to do that now?</p><h3>Eventually He Has To Make A Choice</h3><p>Right now, I believe that Tesla is no longer a priority for Mr. Musk, and that the following companies will take precedent:</p><p>1 -<b>Twitter</b>: With Elon Musk&#39;s personal crusade and fortune tied into this acquisition, it&#39;s hardly a stretch to think that he&#39;ll need to spend a lot of time building the company into something which can potentially be profitable. Since 2021, a lot of the folks who he presumably wants to bring back to Twitter (I won&#39;t mention names since I don&#39;t want the article to turn political, but unless you&#39;ve been living in a cave for the past 3 years - you know who I mean) have found other platforms and have since gravitated away.</p><p>Especially since he plans to fire 75% of the company&#39;s employees, he&#39;ll need to have a hands-on approach if he wants to steer this mega tech company to a place where it can generate meaningful growth or profits in the years to come.</p><p>2 -<b>SpaceX</b>: With the world of space exploration just beginning, and the company&#39;s recent advancements in rocket technologies, the company has been experiencing increased demand and this too requires a hands on approach to work with the engineers to solve the seemingly endless headwinds they face trying to colonize other planets, set up the Starlink network and more.</p><p>This means, I believe, that outside of the near full-time job of running Twitter, that Mr. Musk will be spending a near full-time job equivalent of time at SpaceX in order to make these futuristic technologies and products work.</p><p>3 -<b>The Boring Company &amp; Neuralink</b>: While these companies have not been as high profile as Mr. Musk&#39;s other ones, recent news that the company is battling deadlines and postponing show-and-tell events further eludes or confirms that the companies are facing some difficulties taking off.</p><p>Since Mr. Musk has been actively taking part in these companies and their issues, it&#39;s apparent to me that he&#39;s going to continue to spend time with these companies, which will further take time away from Tesla.</p><h2>So What&#39;s The Problem Exactly?</h2><p>The problem is the company&#39;s valuation.</p><p>As we&#39;ve seen with sales, growth is projected to slow over the next decade since competitive pressures are mounting and that&#39;s true for net income as well, especially if the company will need to lower prices in order to compete.</p><h3>Earnings Per Share Multiples - Comparison</h3><p>Tesla is currently trading at 30x to 50x forward earnings per share projections while they&#39;re expected to report slowing growth and a decline by 2027 due to certain estimates that tax credits end and various other factors coming in.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0433a7fa8724b7ec3a9274292ecd618d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>EPS Projections &amp; FWD P/E Ratio (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>While these may not seem excessive, companies like Ford with a projected 25% increase in EPS this year are trading at around 7x forward earnings. Toyota Motors with a longer term EPS growth projection of 5-6% are trading at around 9x forward earnings.</p><h3>Sales Multiples - Comparison</h3><p>If we want to look at sales as an indication, things get even more interesting. Comparing Tesla&#39;s sales growth to that of BYD&#39;s, the company&#39;s closest competitor by unit sales volume, there&#39;s a stark difference in valuation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3fb74c2c9e703771131b2ac31a12050\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"111\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>BYD Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb5de69f4748bc2763641db7f4589d7a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"110\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TSLA Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>The difference here is quite astonishing. With nearly identical growth, Tesla is trading at 4.5x to 8x sales multiples while BYD is trading at 0.7x to 1.3x.</p><p>This is due in part to the enthusiasm and trust around Elon Musk&#39;s ability to solve issues and come up with product improvements, as his title so suggests. Without him at the helm, I have no doubt that the company can succeed, but can they do so at a valuation 3-4 times as high as other companies with somewhat similar growth projection? I&#39;m just not sure.</p><h2>Conclusion, If There Is One</h2><p>Is Tesla a good company which currently has a near monopoly on US all-electric vehicle sales with ramping up production in the Asia-Pacific and European Union and United Kingdom regions? Absolutely yes.</p><p>Will they continue to grow their long-term sales at low to mid double digits over the next decade? Most likely.</p><p>But with increasing competitive pressures from existing companies, near-certain Model 3 and Model Y pricing cuts and a sluggish sales prospect in China due to increasing competitive pressures from geopolitical forces, the company is going to need the ingenuity of the person who made them what they are today.</p><p>As Mr. Musk continued to take on more and more impossible projects, I don&#39;t believe that dedication is sustainable for Tesla and I believe that the company will see him having a more and more hands-off approach as he focused on the other monumental tasks ahead with Twitter, SpaceX, The Boring Company and Neuralink.</p><p>This doesn&#39;t mean that the company&#39;s growth is in question - but it does mean that if we treat Tesla as a generic company growing at the pace they are, they may be valued quite significantly lower than they are right now. This also means that, historically, during period where the market underperforms, like during recessions or market slowdowns, these types of companies tend to underperform the broader market.</p><p>While the company&#39;s growth is not in question, their valuation is. And as a result, I believe that their fair value lies lower than their current valuation. So while I do believe in their future, I&#39;m avoiding the stock altogether.</p><p><i>This article is written by </i><i>Pinxter Analytics</i><i> for reference only.

While there are some exceptions to this with Chinese-based companies, I'll discuss that later.This means that when a company like Hertz (HTZ) wants to cut their maintenance and fuel consumption surcharges and puts in an order for 100,000 all-electric cars - they really only have one option if they want them delivered within a year or two.

Not only is there a board which can hold this work ethic accountable for the time spent elsewhere, it's about where he spends most of his time.During the company's near-bankruptcy times a few years back, Elon Musk notoriously slept on the factory floor to make sure production headwinds were dealt with and it was undoubtedly one of the reasons employees, officers and other mangers managed to get the job done and get vehicles out for delivery.Can Elon Must continue to do that now?Eventually He Has To Make A ChoiceRight now, I believe that Tesla is no longer a priority for Mr. Musk, and that the following companies will take precedent:1 -Twitter: With Elon Musk's personal crusade and fortune tied into this acquisition, it's hardly a stretch to think that he'll need to spend a lot of time building the company into something which can potentially be profitable. Since 2021, a lot of the folks who he presumably wants to bring back to Twitter (I won't mention names since I don't want the article to turn political, but unless you've been living in a cave for the past 3 years - you know who I mean) have found other platforms and have since gravitated away.Especially since he plans to fire 75% of the company's employees, he'll need to have a hands-on approach if he wants to steer this mega tech company to a place where it can generate meaningful growth or profits in the years to come.2 -SpaceX: With the world of space exploration just beginning, and the company's recent advancements in rocket technologies, the company has been experiencing increased demand and this too requires a hands on approach to work with the engineers to solve the seemingly endless headwinds they face trying to colonize other planets, set up the Starlink network and more.This means, I believe, that outside of the near full-time job of running Twitter, that Mr. Musk will be spending a near full-time job equivalent of time at SpaceX in order to make these futuristic technologies and products work.3 -The Boring Company & Neuralink: While these companies have not been as high profile as Mr. Musk's other ones, recent news that the company is battling deadlines and postponing show-and-tell events further eludes or confirms that the companies are facing some difficulties taking off.Since Mr. Musk has been actively taking part in these companies and their issues, it's apparent to me that he's going to continue to spend time with these companies, which will further take time away from Tesla.So What's The Problem Exactly?The problem is the company's valuation.As we've seen with sales, growth is projected to slow over the next decade since competitive pressures are mounting and that's true for net income as well, especially if the company will need to lower prices in order to compete.Earnings Per Share Multiples - ComparisonTesla is currently trading at 30x to 50x forward earnings per share projections while they're expected to report slowing growth and a decline by 2027 due to certain estimates that tax credits end and various other factors coming in.EPS Projections & FWD P/E Ratio (Seeking Alpha)While these may not seem excessive, companies like Ford with a projected 25% increase in EPS this year are trading at around 7x forward earnings. Toyota Motors with a longer term EPS growth projection of 5-6% are trading at around 9x forward earnings.Sales Multiples - ComparisonIf we want to look at sales as an indication, things get even more interesting. Comparing Tesla's sales growth to that of BYD's, the company's closest competitor by unit sales volume, there's a stark difference in valuation.BYD Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)TSLA Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)The difference here is quite astonishing. With nearly identical growth, Tesla is trading at 4.5x to 8x sales multiples while BYD is trading at 0.7x to 1.3x.This is due in part to the enthusiasm and trust around Elon Musk's ability to solve issues and come up with product improvements, as his title so suggests. Without him at the helm, I have no doubt that the company can succeed, but can they do so at a valuation 3-4 times as high as other companies with somewhat similar growth projection? I'm just not sure.Conclusion, If There Is OneIs Tesla a good company which currently has a near monopoly on US all-electric vehicle sales with ramping up production in the Asia-Pacific and European Union and United Kingdom regions? Absolutely yes.Will they continue to grow their long-term sales at low to mid double digits over the next decade? Most likely.But with increasing competitive pressures from existing companies, near-certain Model 3 and Model Y pricing cuts and a sluggish sales prospect in China due to increasing competitive pressures from geopolitical forces, the company is going to need the ingenuity of the person who made them what they are today.As Mr. Musk continued to take on more and more impossible projects, I don't believe that dedication is sustainable for Tesla and I believe that the company will see him having a more and more hands-off approach as he focused on the other monumental tasks ahead with Twitter, SpaceX, The Boring Company and Neuralink.This doesn't mean that the company's growth is in question - but it does mean that if we treat Tesla as a generic company growing at the pace they are, they may be valued quite significantly lower than they are right now. This also means that, historically, during period where the market underperforms, like during recessions or market slowdowns, these types of companies tend to underperform the broader market.While the company's growth is not in question, their valuation is. And as a result, I believe that their fair value lies lower than their current valuation. So while I do believe in their future, I'm avoiding the stock altogether.This article is written by Pinxter Analytics for reference only.

Now the Focus Is on Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2275959422","media":"Barron's","summary":"Netflix is getting a generally bullish reaction from Wall Street analysts to its new advertising str","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Netflix is getting a generally bullish reaction from Wall Street analysts to its new advertising strategy. Bulls see the addition of an ad-supported subscription tier boosting revenue, although skeptics think the specifics of the new plan will make it unappealing to most viewers.</p><p>Before we get into the details of the debate, let&#39;s take a minute to consider what a breathtaking change of direction this is for the world&#39;s leading subscription-based video-streaming service.</p><p>While analysts and investors pressed Netflix (ticker: NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings for years on the company&#39;s choice not to sell advertising, he emphatically made the case that both viewers and the business were better off with a pure subscription model. Ads were likely to make the Netflix experience worse. he argued.</p><p>In early 2020, just before the pandemic, Hastings was asked for the umpteenth time about why Netflix wasn&#39;t selling ads. He said it would be difficult for the company to compete in the market for digital advertising with Google, Facebook and Amazon.com.</p><p>To create a $5 billion or $10 billion ad business, Netflix would have to &#34;rip that away&#34; from the other platforms, he said, arguing that making money in advertising over the long term would be a battle.</p><p>&#34;We&#39;ve got a much simpler business model which is just focused on streaming and customer pleasure,&#34; Hastings said. &#34;We think with our model that we will actually get to a larger revenue, a larger profit, larger market cap, because we don&#39;t have the exposure to something that we&#39;re strategically disadvantaged at, which is online advertising against those big three.&#34;</p><p>Well, of course, that was then, and this is now.</p><p>Netflix&#39;s subscriber numbers soared during the pandemic, but they have since come back to Earth. Subscribership fell during both of the past two quarters. The March quarter numbers were so shockingly bad -- the company lost 200,000 subscribers after projecting 2.5 million net additions -- that Hastings said on the earnings call that Netflix was considering adding ad-supported service, but that it would be phased in over several years.</p><p>As it turned out, it took just six months for the company to dream up an advertising strategy. The company will offer the new &#34;Basic with Ads&#34; subscription tier to U.S. customers starting Nov. 3 at $6.99 a month, three bucks below the current bare-bones Basic plan. Netflix said it would include 4 to 5 minutes an hour of 15- and 30-seconds ads, both before and during movies and television programs.</p><p>Subscribers to the plan will be limited to a single device at a time and won&#39;t be able to download shows for offline viewing. For licensing reasons, some unspecified content won&#39;t be available on the advertising tier.</p><p>Wall Street is generally supportive of the Netflix strategy, and likewise thinks that the company&#39;s third-quarter earnings report, due on Tuesday, should show some improvement from the June quarter. For the quarter, Netflix has projected revenue of $7.84 billion, up 4.7% from a year ago, with profits of $2.14 a share.</p><p>The company expects to add one million net new subscribers in the quarter, which would boost the total to 221.7 million. While Wall Street&#39;s consensus estimates are in line with management&#39;s guidance on both revenue and profits, analysts expect 1.1 million net new subscribers as the addition of 1.8 million international accounts is offset by a loss of about 700,000 in the U.S.</p><p>UBS analyst John Hodulik on Friday lifted his target price on Netflix shares to $250, from $198, but kept his Neutral rating on the stock. He has some doubts about demand for the ad-based service.</p><p>While he says the ad-supported tier will add to both revenue and profitability -- he sees an eventual 10% boost to revenue -- that will take some time. The single-stream plan unveiled Thursday will have limited appeal, Hodulik says, though he believes the company could eventually offer additional ad tiers with more features.</p><p>Rosenblatt Securities analyst Barton Crockett likewise has doubts about the appeal of the new plan. &#34;The most powerful force in subscriptions is inertia, and a need to switch will greatly limit the number of users of Netflix&#39;s Basic with Ads,&#34; he wrote. &#34;We see limited consumer interest in Netflix&#39;s 1 stream plan, since most houses have over 2 people and multiple streaming devices.&#34;</p><p>He kept his Neutral rating on the stock.</p><p>Benchmark analyst Matthew Harrigan, who kept a Sell rating and $157 target price on the stock, thinks that the medium-term risks in the stock are &#34;geared to the downside.&#34; Among other things, he said the timing for a new advertising platform &#34;is not favorable&#34; given the weak consumer economy. The lack of sports programming could be an issue for the Netflix ad strategy, he said, suggesting that some advertisers could be &#34;repelled&#34; by shows such as Squid Game and a new series about the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.</p><p>Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney, who rates the stock at Outperform, is more upbeat. The addition of an advertising tier is &#34;the biggest catalyst across the internet sector&#34; and will &#34;materially boost the value of Netflix to consumers,&#34; reduce churn and expand gross subscriber additions, he said in a research note.</p><p>And the benefits of offering ads aren&#39;t reflected in current Wall Street forecasts for Netflix&#39;s financial performance or in the stock&#39;s valuation, Mahaney wrote.

Bulls see the addition of an ad-supported subscription tier boosting revenue, although skeptics think the specifics of the new plan will make it unappealing to most viewers.Before we get into the details of the debate, let's take a minute to consider what a breathtaking change of direction this is for the world's leading subscription-based video-streaming service.While analysts and investors pressed Netflix (ticker: NFLX) CEO Reed Hastings for years on the company's choice not to sell advertising, he emphatically made the case that both viewers and the business were better off with a pure subscription model. Ads were likely to make the Netflix experience worse. he argued.In early 2020, just before the pandemic, Hastings was asked for the umpteenth time about why Netflix wasn't selling ads. He said it would be difficult for the company to compete in the market for digital advertising with Google, Facebook and Amazon.com.To create a $5 billion or $10 billion ad business, Netflix would have to \"rip that away\" from the other platforms, he said, arguing that making money in advertising over the long term would be a battle.\"We've got a much simpler business model which is just focused on streaming and customer pleasure,\" Hastings said. \"We think with our model that we will actually get to a larger revenue, a larger profit, larger market cap, because we don't have the exposure to something that we're strategically disadvantaged at, which is online advertising against those big three.\"Well, of course, that was then, and this is now.Netflix's subscriber numbers soared during the pandemic, but they have since come back to Earth. Subscribership fell during both of the past two quarters. The March quarter numbers were so shockingly bad -- the company lost 200,000 subscribers after projecting 2.5 million net additions -- that Hastings said on the earnings call that Netflix was considering adding ad-supported service, but that it would be phased in over several years.As it turned out, it took just six months for the company to dream up an advertising strategy. The company will offer the new \"Basic with Ads\" subscription tier to U.S. customers starting Nov. 3 at $6.99 a month, three bucks below the current bare-bones Basic plan. Netflix said it would include 4 to 5 minutes an hour of 15- and 30-seconds ads, both before and during movies and television programs.Subscribers to the plan will be limited to a single device at a time and won't be able to download shows for offline viewing. For licensing reasons, some unspecified content won't be available on the advertising tier.Wall Street is generally supportive of the Netflix strategy, and likewise thinks that the company's third-quarter earnings report, due on Tuesday, should show some improvement from the June quarter. For the quarter, Netflix has projected revenue of $7.84 billion, up 4.7% from a year ago, with profits of $2.14 a share.The company expects to add one million net new subscribers in the quarter, which would boost the total to 221.7 million. While Wall Street's consensus estimates are in line with management's guidance on both revenue and profits, analysts expect 1.1 million net new subscribers as the addition of 1.8 million international accounts is offset by a loss of about 700,000 in the U.S.UBS analyst John Hodulik on Friday lifted his target price on Netflix shares to $250, from $198, but kept his Neutral rating on the stock. He has some doubts about demand for the ad-based service.While he says the ad-supported tier will add to both revenue and profitability -- he sees an eventual 10% boost to revenue -- that will take some time. The single-stream plan unveiled Thursday will have limited appeal, Hodulik says, though he believes the company could eventually offer additional ad tiers with more features.Rosenblatt Securities analyst Barton Crockett likewise has doubts about the appeal of the new plan. \"The most powerful force in subscriptions is inertia, and a need to switch will greatly limit the number of users of Netflix's Basic with Ads,\" he wrote. \"We see limited consumer interest in Netflix's 1 stream plan, since most houses have over 2 people and multiple streaming devices.\"He kept his Neutral rating on the stock.Benchmark analyst Matthew Harrigan, who kept a Sell rating and $157 target price on the stock, thinks that the medium-term risks in the stock are \"geared to the downside.\" Among other things, he said the timing for a new advertising platform \"is not favorable\" given the weak consumer economy. The lack of sports programming could be an issue for the Netflix ad strategy, he said, suggesting that some advertisers could be \"repelled\" by shows such as Squid Game and a new series about the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney, who rates the stock at Outperform, is more upbeat. The addition of an advertising tier is \"the biggest catalyst across the internet sector\" and will \"materially boost the value of Netflix to consumers,\" reduce churn and expand gross subscriber additions, he said in a research note.And the benefits of offering ads aren't reflected in current Wall Street forecasts for Netflix's financial performance or in the stock's valuation, Mahaney wrote. He kept his target of $300 for Netflix's stock price.Netflix shares fell 1.1% to $230 on Friday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":164,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9987363997,"gmtCreate":1667825886019,"gmtModify":1676537969649,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9987363997","repostId":"2281414614","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2281414614","pubTimestamp":1667835205,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2281414614?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-07 23:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Growth Stocks That Could Soar 133% to 226% From Their 52-Week Lows, According to Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2281414614","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These growth stocks have fallen sharply amid the bear market, but investors have good reason to be bullish on both companies.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market has crumbled this year.

Triple-digit returns are in the cards but only with enough time for the company to expand into its huge market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980533801,"gmtCreate":1665760935203,"gmtModify":1676537661452,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9980533801","repostId":"2275937852","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2275937852","pubTimestamp":1665757871,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2275937852?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-14 22:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Reasons Apple Stock Is a Great Buy Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2275937852","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Down 20% this year, the tech-giant's shares look quite compelling.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Apple</b> is down less than the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> year to date, and some investors may be overlooking it as a good investment opportunity today. Instead, they may be searching for stocks that have seen worse declines.</p><p>Investors may conclude that a rebound in the stock price will likely be less impressive than it will be for stocks that have seen steeper drops. But there&#39;s a reason the tech-giant&#39;s shares have been resilient: Apple is an outstanding business with strong long-term growth prospects.</p><p>Here are several reasons why investors may want to consider buying shares of the tech company today while they&#39;re down about 20% year to date.</p><h2>1. Apple generates massive amounts of cash</h2><p>One thing that may keep some investors away from Apple stock is the company&#39;s massive market capitalization of nearly $2.3 trillion. But the company has the cash flow to back up this valuation. The tech giant generated nearly $108 billion in free cash flow (the cash left over after day-to-day operations and capital expenditures are accounted for) in the company&#39;s reported trailing 12 months.</p><p>This hefty cash flow means that Apple can both pay a dividend (more on that below) and repurchase shares. In the company&#39;s most recent quarter, for instance, Apple returned $28 billion to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases.</p><h2>2. The tech-giant&#39;s services segment is thriving</h2><p>Investors who take a surface-level look at Apple may quickly conclude that the company&#39;s growth years are now behind it. After all, fiscal third-quarter revenue increased just 2% year over year. But investors should keep in mind that a combination of supply constraints that limited sales, as well as some macroeconomic weakness that could prove to be a temporary headwind, weighed on the quarter&#39;s results.</p><p>Even within Apple&#39;s suppressed results, there were signs of strength. Apple&#39;s services business, for instance, saw revenue grow more than 12% year over year during the period. The segment, which earns money from Apple&#39;s share of third-party apps sold on its platform, its own native apps, cloud services, Apple Care, Apple Pay, and other software and services, represents an engine for the company to deepen monetization with its active and loyal customer base over time.</p><p>Helping drive home how well Apple&#39;s services segment is driving monetization, management said in the company&#39;s fiscal third-quarter earnings call that it saw double-digit growth rates in transacting accounts, paid accounts, and accounts with paid subscriptions. More specifically, paid subscriptions across its services business increased by 160 million year over year during fiscal Q3.</p><p>As Apple&#39;s second-largest business segment after iPhone, the high-margin services segment&#39;s momentum -- even during a period of macroeconomic challenges -- makes a good case for continued growth in the tech-giant&#39;s overall business in the coming years.</p><h2>3. Apple pays a growing dividend</h2><p>Investors can also take some comfort in the fact that Apple, unlike many of the growth stocks that have seen their shares plummet in 2022, pays a dividend to its shareholders. Today, Apple&#39;s dividend yield is just 0.7%. But the tech company has provided regular annual dividend increases for shareholders -- and more increases are likely on the way in the coming years. By paying out just 15% of its earnings in dividends, the company&#39;s leaving significant room for dividend increases.</p><p>Overall, Apple&#39;s strong cash flow, robust and fast-growing services segment, and growing dividend make the stock look attractive today. Investors may want to consider buying shares or at least putting the stock on their watch lists.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Reasons Apple Stock Is a Great Buy Today</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\">\n3 Reasons Apple Stock Is a Great Buy Today\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-14 22:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/14/3-reasons-apple-stock-is-a-great-buy-today/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple is down less than the S&P 500 year to date, and some investors may be overlooking it as a good investment opportunity today.

It could deliver almost 60% annual returns through 2027, if Zuckerberg can deliver the expected growth.Mark Zuckerberg has 55% voting power and is effectively the king of Meta, and no one on earth can stop him from spending $180 billion on the Metaverse.There are currently 100 million VR users, spending $500 billion in the global metaverse. META has 1.6% market share and very few people are embracing Meta's vision. Reality Labs is the most expensive, speculative \"build it and they will come\" bet in history.In contrast, GOOG is a global advertising dynamo with a 26% growing cloud business that's expected to be generating $9 billion in operating profit by 2027, years before Realty Labs MIGHT break even. GOOG is an AA-rated, Ultra SWAN (sleep well at night) blue-chip with 93rd percentile risk management according to S&P. META has the potential for 4X returns in 5 years, but GOOG could nearly triple, and deliver 21% annual returns. Even though META and GOOG are both screaming buys, I consider GOOG the safer, less speculative, and smarter buy right now.I do much more than just articles at The Dividend Kings: Members get access to model portfolios, regular updates, a chat room, and more.At some point, big tech was bound to start missing earnings, having grown too large to be immune from a slowing economy.This earnings season that proved to be the case, with Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), Meta (NASDAQ:META) and Amazon (AMZN), all disappointing on earnings and/or guidance.The results for the stock prices were ferocious and swift. Here were the peak declines right after missing earnings, including after hours.MSFT: -8% (the next day)GOOG: -9% (the next day)AMZN: -23% (after hours)META: -27% (after-hours)All told $360 billion in market cap were wiped out last week, and the number would have been much larger had it not been for a two week bear market rally driven by technicals including yet another \"Fed pivot\" hopium rally.When some of the world's biggest and best blue chips collapse, it naturally causes many investors to wonder if the investment thesis is broken or if it's a great chance to be \"greedy when others are fearful.\"Several DK members have requested updates on these blue chips so today I want to take a look at META and GOOG to provide the best and most up-to-date fundamentals-focused analysis of each company's prospects.So let's take a look at the good, bad, and ugly for META and GOOG to see why META might possibly be broken, while GOOG can still make you rich.Let's start with META, the most troubled of the FAANG stocks.Meta Platforms: A Potentially Wonderful Company At The Mercy Of A Mad KingYchartsMark Zuckerberg holds the title as the person responsible, at least in large part, for the second greatest decline in investor wealth in history, an impressive $800 billion.META is down 78% off its record highsThis was the second 20%-plus single day crash for Meta,BloombergBack in February, Meta became the first company in history to lose a quarter trillion in value in a single day.This time the decline was about $60 billion owing to Meta having fallen to a $300 billion market cap.Why did Wall Street gut Meta so ferociously?Was it Meta's struggles to grow its global user base?investor presentationNot really. Total users are growing at a slow pace, but still growing and the percent of monthly users who are using Meta's platforms daily remains steady at 79%. What about sales?investor presentationWhile sales are down from last year, that's mostly due to the overall pullback in advertising spend and Q3 revenue was stable compared to Q1 and Q2.What about revenue per family/user?investor presentationThat's been steady for two years now, which isn't great in terms of sales growth. But again, part of that is from the fact that global advertising is struggling right now.Daily ShotSo what caused the market to freak out over META and send shares down as much as 27% in a matter of hours?investor presentationMETA has a big spending problem, almost doubling its growth spending on Reality Labs, its massive 10-year bet on the Metaverse.investor presentationMETA's EPS has been hammered by spending at Reality Labs, and is now expected to decline 34% in 2022 and another 15% in 2023.Why? Partially due to the 2023 recession the bond market now considers a 100% certainty.But also because of this.We do anticipate that Reality Labs operating losses in 2023 will grow significantly year-over-year.Beyond 2023, we expect to pace Reality Labs investments such that we can achieve our goal of growing overall company operating income in the long run.\" - Mark Zuckerberg, Q3 conference call (emphasis added)Last year META lost $10 billion on the Metaverse, and this year it's expected to lose even more. And per its CEO and founder, next year \"significantly more\" still.FactSet Research TerminalBased on Zuckerberg's comments about \"pacing\" spending beyond 2023 analysts expect capex to remain elevated by about 2X compared to before Meta changed its name and went all in on the Metaverse.Mark Zuckerberg: The Mad King Is The Biggest Reason Meta Is A Speculative Blue ChipMark Zuckerberg holds 55% of voting power at META, thanks to his class B shares. Until now, that hasn't been a problem, even though he's been effectively the \"emperor\" of Facebook since the beginning.But now that former COO Sheryl Sandberg, who built the META ad model into a free cash flow minting machine, has left? Well, it appears there's no one with the credibility in META's c-suite to stand up to the mad king and his potentially disastrous $100-plus billion boondoggle.But isn't Zuckerberg a visionary? A mad genius who turned a simple and what many thought was a stupid idea into a formerly $1.1 trillion company?Yes, but there's a fine line between genius and madness and Zuckerberg is potentially on the wrong side of it. Why?StatistaThe potential market for VR in general is about 100 million people today and that's expected to grow to about 130 million by 2027.META is struggling to grow its user base beyond its current 3 billion, because it's largely saturated its addressable market of Internet-0connected people around the world.Zuckerberg has a grand vision of a Meta, controlled Metaverse, a digital world in which we all wear VR goggles and live second lives online.EngadgetMeta's \"significantly higher losses\" in Reality Labs next year is due to launching the Quest Pro, a $1,500 VR headset that costs 5X more than the Quest 2 headset.META's timing on the Metaverse literally came at the worst possible time.the company pivoted to massive spending on new and untested tech that it admits might not make money for 10 years.just as the speculative tech bubble burstand now is launching a $1500 VR headset that costs more than an iPhone during a recessiontoday even Apple is starting to struggle with iPhone salesand the Quest Pro is much less useful or desirable than an iPhoneAnd I'm not the only one skeptical of Meta's giant pivot into a sci-fi future.FactSet Research TerminalReality Labs revenue was about $721 million in 2021 and growing at 9% annually in recent years.not exactly a thrilling level of growthThat grow rate isn't expected to improve until 2025, and even by 2027, when Metaverse revenue is expected to double, it's expected to total $2.8 billion, just over 1% of the company's sales.All while generating $20.3 billion in operating losses, by 2025.Reality Labs was founded in 2021, when Meta changed its name and its mission.$79.5 billion in cumulative operating losses through 2025with no signs of declining annual losses, much less profitsZuckerberg is either crazy or a genius, and so far all the evidence points to crazy.Potentially $180 to $200 billion in Metaverse losses by 2030 if they keep burning $20 billion after 2025But what if Zuckerberg is a Steve Jobs style genius? Jobs famously said that you often can't ask customers what they want in a product, because true innovation is so revolutionary they don't know they want it.If Ihadaskedpeople what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” - Henry FordHow many people were excited about the iPod when it was introduced in 2001? It was just a better, sleeker, and cooler MP3 player. And yet it transformed Apple into a cash flow machine.And then gave Steve Jobs the credibility and \"reality distortion field\" to change the world with the iPhone.In other words, truly revolutionary change requires a \"build it and they will come\" mindset. At least that's how Mark Zuckerberg is spinning his $200 billion bet.The difference between Zuckerberg and Henry Ford and Steve Jobs is that neither of them risked even a fraction of the money Zuckerberg is planning on.For what's objectively a very speculative bet.For every 10 mad geniuses trying to change the world with their inventions, nine of them fail. And none of them have ever had the resources or power of Mark Zuckerberg, the mad king of Facebook.It Wasn't All BadOur positive takeaways from Meta’s results were that the network effect remains intact given the firm’s encouraging user count and engagement metrics, which we think position Meta to accelerate revenue growth in late 2023, with the assumption that macro uncertainty eases.In addition, Reels is creating incremental engagement time per user and has also displayed early signs of high monetization potential. Plus, the firm continues to invest in enhancing its ad measurement capabilities while adding new advertising options for businesses, which we think will further drive a turnaround.\" - MorningstarMETA has been very badly hurt by Apple's change in private policy, which automatically blocks data tracking unless users specifically opt-in. Just 25% of iOS users have opted in and that number appears to be stable but not improving.StatistaiPhone has 55% market share in the US, the most lucrative digital ad market in the world. This means that with this single privacy policy change, social media companies saw their user data collapse by 42% and it might never be coming back.META, GOOG, and AMZN are the three giants of digital advertising, and each one is hurt to a different degree by this privacy policy change.META most of allGOOG less so because it has alternative data sources (more than 7 services with over 1 billion global users)AMZN least of all because its ad-algos are mostly running on its own proprietary dataFactSet Research TerminalMeta'suser baseis expected to grow slowly over time, but the 58 analysts that cover META (more than any other company on Wall Street) don't believe the Social Media king is dying.Average revenue per user is also expected to recover once the recession is over, though grow by just a modest 15% by 2025.Andfree cash flow, which has been cut in half in the last 12 months, is expected to nearly triple to $43 billion by 2027.And thanks to a much lower market cap,Meta's consensus buybacks of $93 billion from 2023 to 2027could buy back a lot of stock.34% of shares at current valuationsup to 10% of shares each yearAnd what about Meta's growth prospects after it gets past the 2023 recession and this painful pivot to the Metaverse?Investment StrategyYieldLT Consensus GrowthLT Consensus Total Return PotentialLong-Term Risk-Adjusted Expected ReturnLong-Term Inflation And Risk-Adjusted Expected ReturnsYears To Double Your Inflation & Risk-Adjusted Wealth10-Year Inflation And Risk-Adjusted Expected ReturnMeta Platforms0%15.3%15.3%10.7%8.4%8.52.25Nasdaq0.8%11.5%12.3%8.6%6.3%11.41.85Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF3.6%8.5%12.1%8.4%6.2%11.71.82Dividend Aristocrats2.6%8.5%11.1%7.8%5.5%13.11.71Alphabet0.0%11.1%11.1%7.8%5.5%13.11.71S&P 5001.8%8.5%10.3%7.2%4.9%14.61.62(Sources: DK Research Terminal, FactSet, Ycharts, Morningstar)Analysts remain bullish on META, far more so than Alphabet in fact, expecting META to potentially deliver 15.3% long-term returns while GOOG is expected to match the aristocrats and modestly beat the S&P over time.And that doesn't include valuation, and there's no question that at 4.9X cash adjusted trough 2023 earnings, META is trading at a fire sale price.Meta Is A Screaming Buy...

The only difference is that GOOG spends about $3.2 billion annually on other bets, and that part of the GOOG empire could be worth$50 billion.Or to put it another way, META is spending 4X as much money on Reality Labs as GOOG is on Other Bets, and GOOG plans to cut back on that spending in the next year. META plans to increase its spending by about 20%.GOOG has so far lost $27 billion on Other Bets, searching for its next world-beater business. META plans to potentially lose $200 billion or 8X as much, on Reality Labs, and for a business model that so far only 100 million people say they are interested in using.100 million global VR users, not META VR usersDaily ShotGOOG Cloud is a fast growing business. It's not yet profitable but is expected to become profitable in 2025, a year when META is expected to lose over $20 billion on Reality Labs.By 2027 analysts expect Google Cloud to be generating $76 billion in sales (vs $2.8 billion for Reality Labs) and converting that into $9.3 billion in operating income.In other words, Google Cloud is a 26% CAGR growing business that's expected to be minting money far faster than Reality Labs, assuming the Metaverse ever achieves profitability for META.IOT AnalyticsAnd unlike the Metaverse which is expected to have 130 million users (maybe) by 2027, cloud computing is a proven industry, growing at 15% per year and which could become a $2 trillion to $10 trillion industry by 2030.The global Metaverse revenue opportunity could approach $800 billion in 2024 vs. about $500 billion in 2020, based on our analysis and Newzoo, IDC, PWC, Statista and Two Circles data. The primary market for online game makers and gaming hardware may exceed $400 billion in 2024 while opportunities in live entertainment and social media make up the remainder.\" -BloombergNow in fairness to Mr. Zuckerberg and fans of the Metaverse, the Metaverse is already a $500 billion global market. But that's 80% gaming which META is getting only a small handful off.META's market share in the Metaverse is currently 1.6%In other words, with Alphabet the big growth driver is a 26% growing business in a bigger and proven model.GOOG's ability to generate meaningful cash flow from cloud is not speculative, just look at how AWS and Azure are minting money for AMZN and MSFT.And speaking of cash flow.FactSet Research TerminalWhile META's FCF is expected to get cut in half to $16 billion in 2022, GOOG's is expected to remain stable at $68 billion.In 2027 META is expected to generate a solid $43 billion in FCF. But GOOG is expected to generate $159 billion, the most in human corporate history.2027 FCF Consensus Forecasts:GOOG: $159 billionAAPL: $155 billionAMZN: $137 billionMSFT: $101 billionMETA: $43 billionAnd while META is expected to buy back a very healthy $93 billion in stock in the coming years, GOOG is expected to spend $365 billion between 2023 and 2027.In fact, in 2027 alone GOOG's consensus buybacks of $92 billion is as much as analysts expect META to spend over the next four years combined.Alphabet Valuation: Potentially A Very Strong Buy And Close To An Ultra Value BuyAlphabet reported disappointing third-quarter results as revenue growth decelerated further, driven by the stronger dollar and economic uncertainty, which is increasing hesitancy in ad spending. Assuming less uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment, plus the monetization of YouTube Shorts, we expect advertising revenue growth to return to double-digit levels in 2023. Unlike advertising, the cloud business maintained impressive growth.\" - MorningstarGOOG's 9% plunge post-earnings was purely for cyclical reasons, nothing to do with its core business. Advertisers are pulling back due to the slowing economy and coming recession.Nothing about GOOG's fundamental core business is broken, unlike META which has chosen to make a $200 billion speculative pivot.GOOG is not a turnaround story (20% or less max risk cap rec)META is a turnaround story (2.5% or less max risk cap rec)YouTube Shorts has already reached 1.5 billion monthly active viewers, reducing fears that Tok-Tok is hurting the business.

Well, it's ride or die with mad king Zuckerberg, and his Ford/Jobs like strategy of \"if you build it they will come.\" I join with all META shareholders in hoping that king Zuckerberg will spend a lot less than $180 billion on testing his theory and bringing his vision to life.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":567,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9988404052,"gmtCreate":1666801036077,"gmtModify":1676537808613,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah","listText":"Yeah","text":"Yeah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9988404052","repostId":"2278956774","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2278956774","pubTimestamp":1666798201,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2278956774?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-26 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Big-Time Passive Income Stocks to Consider Loading Up On During the Bear Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2278956774","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These companies offer big-time dividend yields.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Bear markets can be an opportunity for those with cash sitting on the sidelines.

Here&#39;s why passive-income seekers should consider loading up on these big-time dividend stocks.</p><h2>A cash flow machine</h2><p>Shares of telecom giant Verizon have tumbled nearly 35% from their recent high.

That marked the company&#39;s 16th straight year of increasing its dividend, the longest in the telecom industry.</p><p>The company generates plenty of cash to cover its big-time payout. Verizon&#39;s business generated $28.2 billion of cash from operations during the first nine months of 2022, more than covering the $15.8 billion it invested in maintaining and expanding its network. That left it with $12.4 billion of free cash flow, allowing it to fund its $8.1 billion dividend outlay and strengthen its solid balance sheet. The company expects its network investments to drive future growth, which should enable it to continue increasing its dividend.</p><h2>Multiple funding sources put the dividend on a solid foundation</h2><p>Shares of semiconductor giant Intel have plummeted more than 50% this year. That has pushed Intel&#39;s dividend yield up over 5%.</p><p>Intel&#39;s expansion plans have weighed on its share price. The company plans to invest $23 billion in capital projects, including constructing several chip manufacturing plants. The company expects its adjusted free cash flow to fall in a range of negative-$1 billion to $2-billion this year as a result. Some investors are therefore concerned that Intel can&#39;t afford its dividend, which totaled nearly $3 billion during the first half of this year.</p><p>However, Intel has an A-rated balance sheet with $27 billion of cash at the end of the first quarter. It also expects to raise additional money by completing an initial public offering of its Mobileye unit. Meanwhile, the company secured <b>Brookfield Infrastructure</b> as a funding partner for two manufacturing plants. Brookfield will finance 49% of the up to $30 billion needed to build those facilities. Because of these factors, Intel believes it can maintain and continue growing its dividend during this expansion phase.</p><h2>The transformation is on track</h2><p>Walgreens Boots Alliance has lost more than 35% of its value this year, and its dividend yield has risen above 5.5%. That&#39;s a very attractive payout for a company with Walgreens&#39; dividend track record.</p><p>The consumer-centric healthcare company increased its payout for the 47th straight year. That easily qualifies it as a Dividend Aristocrat and puts it a few years shy of the even more elite class of Dividend Kings.</p><p>Walgreens is currently transforming from a pharmacy retailer to a consumer-centric healthcare company. It sees its investments in that strategy driving accelerating core growth in 2023. Meanwhile, it expects its earnings per share to build toward a low-teens annual growth rate in its 2025 fiscal year and beyond. That forecast suggests Walgreens should have no problem continuing to grow its big-time payout in the future.</p><h2>Boost your passive income with these bear market sales</h2><p>Stock prices are tumbling as investors price in the near-term possibility of an economic downturn. While a recession will affect some companies&#39; ability to finance their growth and dividend payments, it won&#39;t affect Verizon, Intel, and Walgreens since they generate lots of cash and have solid balance sheets. They should be able to continue growing their dividends in the coming years.

Growth’s outperformance in recent years means value stocks are now relatively cheaper than at any other time in U.S. history. (Value stocks can be defined as having low prices relative to their net worth. For growth stocks, it’s the opposite.)</p><p>Many advisers argued that cheap valuations alone made value stocks compelling bets to once again outperform growth. But they still had to battle the widespread Wall Street narrative that value tends to beat growth only in rising-inflation environments. While this narrative supported the value-stock thesis last year and this year, it made value stocks’ relative strength vulnerable to any decline in inflation expectations.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd917e3224b565dcdd08c396f87d6a1e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"471\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>This narrative started to break down in mid-August, however, as you can see from the accompanying chart, above. Notice how, in the months prior to then, value stocks’ relative strength over growth tended to rise and fall in a close correlation with the 10-year breakeven inflation rate. This stopped being the case two months ago. Even as the 10-year breakeven inflation rate has trended strongly downward, value stocks’ relative strength has trended strongly upward.</p><p>What happened? My hunch is that an increasing number of investors on Wall Street came to realize that there is no good theoretical reason to expect value stocks’ relative strength to be correlated with inflation. (I devoted a column earlier this year to this absence of a good theoretical foundation, and I refer you to it for a fuller discussion.)</p><p>Wall Street’s newfound realization may have come just in time to rescue value stocks from declining inflation expectations. Though high inflation is proving less transitory than many, including the Federal Reserve, initially thought, most believe that inflation will be slowing soon. The consensus of “America’s top business economists,” as polled by Wolters Kluwer’s Blue Chip Economic Indicators, is that the Consumer Price Index will be 3.9% in 2023.</p><p>The easiest way to place a diversified bet on value stocks’ relative strength is with exchange traded funds.

This property sits on freehold land and is DPU-accretive.Then earlier in June, Keppel DC REIT scooped up two data centres in Guangdong, China, for approximately S$297.1 million.This acquisition should grow DPU by 2.7% and improve portfolio occupancy further to 98.9%.The data centre REIT achieved a commendable performance for 9M2022.Gross revenue edged up 0.7% year on year to S$205.9 million while distributable income climbed 8.5% year on year to S$138.1 million.DPU increased by 3.4% year on year to S$0.07634.CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (SGX: C38U)CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, or CICT, is a retail cum commercial REIT with a total property value of S$24.2 billion as of 31 December 2021.The REIT owns 21 properties in Singapore, two in Frankfurt, and three in Sydney.CICT released a robust set of numbers for its latest fiscal 2022’s third quarter (3Q2022) business update.Gross revenue for 9M2022 rose 8.9% year on year to S$1.1 billion while NPI increased by 8.4% year on year to S$775 million.CICT also has a strong sponsor in real estate giant CapitaLand Investment Limited (SGX: 9CI).Investors should feel assured that no single tenant contributes more than 5.1% of the REIT’s gross rental income.Elsewhere, CICT also has 80% of its total borrowings on fixed rates, thereby mitigating a sharp rise in finance costs that may eat into its distributable income.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":383,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9988408548,"gmtCreate":1666800416284,"gmtModify":1676537808524,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmm","listText":"Hmmm","text":"Hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9988408548","repostId":"2278672309","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2278672309","pubTimestamp":1666778473,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2278672309?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-26 18:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Has An Elon Musk Problem","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2278672309","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryTesla's growth is astonishing and it continued to hold significant market share in the United States and around the world in the all-electric vehicle industry.But with their currently-high valu","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Tesla&#39;s growth is astonishing and it continued to hold significant market share in the United States and around the world in the all-electric vehicle industry.</li><li>But with their currently-high valuation relative to peers directly tied, I believe, to Elon Musk&#39;s involvement with the company - recent events may change that.</li><li>As a result, I evaluate the company&#39;s current fair value and believe it is lower enough to avoid the company altogether until it reaches more realistic levels.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/036a30b7377f20abe9dceec9a63d51f5\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Justin Sullivan</span></p><p>Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is an interesting growth story and one for the ages. After staring bankruptcy straight in the eyes several times, according to CEO Elon Musk, they ended up as one of the biggest success stories in earlymarket penetration and scaling up capacity around the globe in record time.</p><p>Just like other once-startups in an emerging new industry, however, there are always issues with how to value a company like Tesla. And going one step forward - what influence does the presence of a revolutionary mind like that of Elon Musk have on the stocks share price and subsequent valuation.</p><p>While the company is the only current all-electric vehicle manufacturer with the capacity to meet the demand around the globe, I still believe that there is significant premium to the company&#39;s valuation due to its association with Mr. Musk and that if you take him out of the equation - while the company will still do remarkably well and continue to grow, their valuation may be excessive.</p><p>Let&#39;s dissect what I mean by excessive and the implications of such.</p><h2>Tesla&#39;s Advantage Is Clear</h2><p>While the company is facing increasing competitive pressures from nearly all automobile manufacturers around the globe, they still remain the only company which currently has the capacity to manufacture and deliver hundreds of thousands of all-electric vehicles. While there are some exceptions to this with Chinese-based companies, I&#39;ll discuss that later.</p><p>This means that when a company like Hertz (HTZ) wants to cut their maintenance and fuel consumption surcharges and puts in an order for 100,000 all-electric cars - they really only have one option if they want them delivered within a year or two. And that&#39;s exactly what they did.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/607f7a5839ed63281b20fe46d8365acd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>US EV Sales - 2022 YTD (Electrek US EV Sales Tracker)</span></p><p>Even while other companies like Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Toyota Motor (TM) have ramped up production of their all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, they still remain well behind in their capacity for delivery.</p><p>Furthermore, even though most other companies are catching up on this as time goes by, Tesla still has built-in technological advantages like automated driving capabilities, vehicle control technologies, supercharging stations and others. These aren&#39;t only just for tech geeks who want to make an investment in the company&#39;s current lead in the race for autonomous driving, the vehicle mileage and performance is on the top of consumers&#39; minds as they think of which all-electric vehicle they want to purchase.</p><h2>Tesla&#39;s Growth Is Astonishing</h2><p>It&#39;s not just that the company has an advantage in their ability to deliver more than their competitors - it&#39;s that they&#39;re actually increasing deliveries almost every quarter, on average, and they&#39;re expected to maintain this growth for quite some time.</p><p>They&#39;re doing this by opening manufacturing plants outside of the United States in fast growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region and the European Union and the United Kingdom. While the full capacity of their Shanghai and Germany plants were slightly hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic closures, they&#39;re on tap to make record deliveries once more this year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdab1ca78acffae7370633d386137363\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"392\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla Vehicle Sales by Quarter (Statista - Sales Visualization)</span></p><p>As we can see, the company has made nearly as many deliveries of their new all-electric vehicles, mostly the Model 3 and Model Y, in the first 3 quarters of this year as they did in the entirety of last year and are set to deliver well over one million vehicles in 2022.</p><p>While they&#39;re growing these figures with new plants, other companies are struggling to increase capacity and convert existing manufacturing facilities in the United States to manufacture their own versions of all-electric vehicles.</p><p>That&#39;s why I believe Tesla&#39;s growth story is far from over, and we can see that in the company&#39;s current projections for the coming years.</p><h2>Future Growth Is Strong, But...</h2><p>While the company is projected to deliver almost 2 million vehicles in 2023, there are some negative factors which stand in the way of future growth for the company, even if they seem to be minor in the grand scheme of things.</p><p>Firstly, there&#39;s increased competition. While this may not mean much for Tesla in the near term, it certainly will mean a lot in the longer term. There are hundreds of new all-electric and plug-in hybrid models hitting the streets (pun intended) in the coming years and while that may not do much for a few years, it&#39;s bound to cut into their market share.</p><p>In fact, that&#39;s already been happening. While their cars are not sold in the United States or in major markets (in significant numbers, in any case) outside of the People&#39;s Republic of China, BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) has seen their market share double in the global all-electric vehicle sales and now stand at 11% while Tesla has decreased to about 19% in the latest report of YTD figures in 2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec9fdb84e4e48b98991d0625bdc2217a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"233\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>H1 2022 EV Sales by Company (InsideEVs EV Sales)</span></p><p>Even with these global sales and market share figures, the company is still projected to do very well, as you can see by the company&#39;s current projections for sales and earnings.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7244826e2217edac067e967d0999422f\" tg-width=\"623\" tg-height=\"341\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla Sales Growth Projections (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>But there&#39;s still this issue.</p><h2>The Elon Musk Problem</h2><p>I know, I know, I bore you with details about the company before getting to the issue at hand. But context here is very important.</p><p>The company does have things it can do, which don&#39;t require some magical solution by the contrarian-thinking Elon Musk - things like lowering their prices to outmaneuver other companies introducing high-end (ish) all-electric vehicles and things of that nature. But there&#39;s still an issue.</p><p>The issue is Elon Musk. While most of the world was struggling with updating the technology in regular automobiles, he was 10 steps ahead with battery technology advancements, technological advancements, EV range increases, charging station expansions and many other things.</p><p>This forward-thinking vision is exactly what made Tesla the hype (rightfully so, not in a bad way) which it is today and I don&#39;t believe the company will be where it is today without him. But for how long is he going to stay?</p><h3>Twitter Is Hardly The Only Issue</h3><p>As we&#39;ve seen with Jack Dorsey when he operated both Square (SQ) and Twitter (TWTR), it&#39;s nearly impossible to run multiple companies at once and do a great job at all of them, even if you&#39;re Elon Musk.</p><p>While Mr. Musk runs Tesla&#39;s as its chief-product-officer, as he dubs himself, he also runs SpaceX (SPACE), The Boring Company, SolarCity (part of Tesla) and other AI (artificial intelligence) companies and he now picked up Twitter.</p><p>While he did sell a significant portion of his Tesla stock to do so, diluting his ownership, it&#39;s the hands-off approach I think is coming to Tesla which can hurt valuation. Not only is there a board which can hold this work ethic accountable for the time spent elsewhere, it&#39;s about where he spends most of his time.</p><p>During the company&#39;s near-bankruptcy times a few years back, Elon Musk notoriously slept on the factory floor to make sure production headwinds were dealt with and it was undoubtedly one of the reasons employees, officers and other mangers managed to get the job done and get vehicles out for delivery.</p><p>Can Elon Must continue to do that now?</p><h3>Eventually He Has To Make A Choice</h3><p>Right now, I believe that Tesla is no longer a priority for Mr. Musk, and that the following companies will take precedent:</p><p>1 -<b>Twitter</b>: With Elon Musk&#39;s personal crusade and fortune tied into this acquisition, it&#39;s hardly a stretch to think that he&#39;ll need to spend a lot of time building the company into something which can potentially be profitable. Since 2021, a lot of the folks who he presumably wants to bring back to Twitter (I won&#39;t mention names since I don&#39;t want the article to turn political, but unless you&#39;ve been living in a cave for the past 3 years - you know who I mean) have found other platforms and have since gravitated away.</p><p>Especially since he plans to fire 75% of the company&#39;s employees, he&#39;ll need to have a hands-on approach if he wants to steer this mega tech company to a place where it can generate meaningful growth or profits in the years to come.</p><p>2 -<b>SpaceX</b>: With the world of space exploration just beginning, and the company&#39;s recent advancements in rocket technologies, the company has been experiencing increased demand and this too requires a hands on approach to work with the engineers to solve the seemingly endless headwinds they face trying to colonize other planets, set up the Starlink network and more.</p><p>This means, I believe, that outside of the near full-time job of running Twitter, that Mr. Musk will be spending a near full-time job equivalent of time at SpaceX in order to make these futuristic technologies and products work.</p><p>3 -<b>The Boring Company &amp; Neuralink</b>: While these companies have not been as high profile as Mr. Musk&#39;s other ones, recent news that the company is battling deadlines and postponing show-and-tell events further eludes or confirms that the companies are facing some difficulties taking off.</p><p>Since Mr. Musk has been actively taking part in these companies and their issues, it&#39;s apparent to me that he&#39;s going to continue to spend time with these companies, which will further take time away from Tesla.</p><h2>So What&#39;s The Problem Exactly?</h2><p>The problem is the company&#39;s valuation.</p><p>As we&#39;ve seen with sales, growth is projected to slow over the next decade since competitive pressures are mounting and that&#39;s true for net income as well, especially if the company will need to lower prices in order to compete.</p><h3>Earnings Per Share Multiples - Comparison</h3><p>Tesla is currently trading at 30x to 50x forward earnings per share projections while they&#39;re expected to report slowing growth and a decline by 2027 due to certain estimates that tax credits end and various other factors coming in.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0433a7fa8724b7ec3a9274292ecd618d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>EPS Projections &amp; FWD P/E Ratio (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>While these may not seem excessive, companies like Ford with a projected 25% increase in EPS this year are trading at around 7x forward earnings. Toyota Motors with a longer term EPS growth projection of 5-6% are trading at around 9x forward earnings.</p><h3>Sales Multiples - Comparison</h3><p>If we want to look at sales as an indication, things get even more interesting. Comparing Tesla&#39;s sales growth to that of BYD&#39;s, the company&#39;s closest competitor by unit sales volume, there&#39;s a stark difference in valuation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3fb74c2c9e703771131b2ac31a12050\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"111\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>BYD Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb5de69f4748bc2763641db7f4589d7a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"110\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TSLA Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>The difference here is quite astonishing. With nearly identical growth, Tesla is trading at 4.5x to 8x sales multiples while BYD is trading at 0.7x to 1.3x.</p><p>This is due in part to the enthusiasm and trust around Elon Musk&#39;s ability to solve issues and come up with product improvements, as his title so suggests. Without him at the helm, I have no doubt that the company can succeed, but can they do so at a valuation 3-4 times as high as other companies with somewhat similar growth projection? I&#39;m just not sure.</p><h2>Conclusion, If There Is One</h2><p>Is Tesla a good company which currently has a near monopoly on US all-electric vehicle sales with ramping up production in the Asia-Pacific and European Union and United Kingdom regions? Absolutely yes.</p><p>Will they continue to grow their long-term sales at low to mid double digits over the next decade? Most likely.</p><p>But with increasing competitive pressures from existing companies, near-certain Model 3 and Model Y pricing cuts and a sluggish sales prospect in China due to increasing competitive pressures from geopolitical forces, the company is going to need the ingenuity of the person who made them what they are today.</p><p>As Mr. Musk continued to take on more and more impossible projects, I don&#39;t believe that dedication is sustainable for Tesla and I believe that the company will see him having a more and more hands-off approach as he focused on the other monumental tasks ahead with Twitter, SpaceX, The Boring Company and Neuralink.</p><p>This doesn&#39;t mean that the company&#39;s growth is in question - but it does mean that if we treat Tesla as a generic company growing at the pace they are, they may be valued quite significantly lower than they are right now. This also means that, historically, during period where the market underperforms, like during recessions or market slowdowns, these types of companies tend to underperform the broader market.</p><p>While the company&#39;s growth is not in question, their valuation is. And as a result, I believe that their fair value lies lower than their current valuation. So while I do believe in their future, I&#39;m avoiding the stock altogether.</p><p><i>This article is written by </i><i>Pinxter Analytics</i><i> for reference only.

And going one step forward - what influence does the presence of a revolutionary mind like that of Elon Musk have on the stocks share price and subsequent valuation.While the company is the only current all-electric vehicle manufacturer with the capacity to meet the demand around the globe, I still believe that there is significant premium to the company's valuation due to its association with Mr. Musk and that if you take him out of the equation - while the company will still do remarkably well and continue to grow, their valuation may be excessive.Let's dissect what I mean by excessive and the implications of such.Tesla's Advantage Is ClearWhile the company is facing increasing competitive pressures from nearly all automobile manufacturers around the globe, they still remain the only company which currently has the capacity to manufacture and deliver hundreds of thousands of all-electric vehicles. While there are some exceptions to this with Chinese-based companies, I'll discuss that later.This means that when a company like Hertz (HTZ) wants to cut their maintenance and fuel consumption surcharges and puts in an order for 100,000 all-electric cars - they really only have one option if they want them delivered within a year or two. And that's exactly what they did.US EV Sales - 2022 YTD (Electrek US EV Sales Tracker)Even while other companies like Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Toyota Motor (TM) have ramped up production of their all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, they still remain well behind in their capacity for delivery.Furthermore, even though most other companies are catching up on this as time goes by, Tesla still has built-in technological advantages like automated driving capabilities, vehicle control technologies, supercharging stations and others. These aren't only just for tech geeks who want to make an investment in the company's current lead in the race for autonomous driving, the vehicle mileage and performance is on the top of consumers' minds as they think of which all-electric vehicle they want to purchase.Tesla's Growth Is AstonishingIt's not just that the company has an advantage in their ability to deliver more than their competitors - it's that they're actually increasing deliveries almost every quarter, on average, and they're expected to maintain this growth for quite some time.They're doing this by opening manufacturing plants outside of the United States in fast growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region and the European Union and the United Kingdom. While the full capacity of their Shanghai and Germany plants were slightly hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic closures, they're on tap to make record deliveries once more this year.Tesla Vehicle Sales by Quarter (Statista - Sales Visualization)As we can see, the company has made nearly as many deliveries of their new all-electric vehicles, mostly the Model 3 and Model Y, in the first 3 quarters of this year as they did in the entirety of last year and are set to deliver well over one million vehicles in 2022.While they're growing these figures with new plants, other companies are struggling to increase capacity and convert existing manufacturing facilities in the United States to manufacture their own versions of all-electric vehicles.That's why I believe Tesla's growth story is far from over, and we can see that in the company's current projections for the coming years.Future Growth Is Strong, But...While the company is projected to deliver almost 2 million vehicles in 2023, there are some negative factors which stand in the way of future growth for the company, even if they seem to be minor in the grand scheme of things.Firstly, there's increased competition. While this may not mean much for Tesla in the near term, it certainly will mean a lot in the longer term. There are hundreds of new all-electric and plug-in hybrid models hitting the streets (pun intended) in the coming years and while that may not do much for a few years, it's bound to cut into their market share.In fact, that's already been happening. While their cars are not sold in the United States or in major markets (in significant numbers, in any case) outside of the People's Republic of China, BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) has seen their market share double in the global all-electric vehicle sales and now stand at 11% while Tesla has decreased to about 19% in the latest report of YTD figures in 2022.H1 2022 EV Sales by Company (InsideEVs EV Sales)Even with these global sales and market share figures, the company is still projected to do very well, as you can see by the company's current projections for sales and earnings.Tesla Sales Growth Projections (Seeking Alpha)But there's still this issue.The Elon Musk ProblemI know, I know, I bore you with details about the company before getting to the issue at hand. But context here is very important.The company does have things it can do, which don't require some magical solution by the contrarian-thinking Elon Musk - things like lowering their prices to outmaneuver other companies introducing high-end (ish) all-electric vehicles and things of that nature. But there's still an issue.The issue is Elon Musk. While most of the world was struggling with updating the technology in regular automobiles, he was 10 steps ahead with battery technology advancements, technological advancements, EV range increases, charging station expansions and many other things.This forward-thinking vision is exactly what made Tesla the hype (rightfully so, not in a bad way) which it is today and I don't believe the company will be where it is today without him. But for how long is he going to stay?Twitter Is Hardly The Only IssueAs we've seen with Jack Dorsey when he operated both Square (SQ) and Twitter (TWTR), it's nearly impossible to run multiple companies at once and do a great job at all of them, even if you're Elon Musk.While Mr. Musk runs Tesla's as its chief-product-officer, as he dubs himself, he also runs SpaceX (SPACE), The Boring Company, SolarCity (part of Tesla) and other AI (artificial intelligence) companies and he now picked up Twitter.While he did sell a significant portion of his Tesla stock to do so, diluting his ownership, it's the hands-off approach I think is coming to Tesla which can hurt valuation. Not only is there a board which can hold this work ethic accountable for the time spent elsewhere, it's about where he spends most of his time.During the company's near-bankruptcy times a few years back, Elon Musk notoriously slept on the factory floor to make sure production headwinds were dealt with and it was undoubtedly one of the reasons employees, officers and other mangers managed to get the job done and get vehicles out for delivery.Can Elon Must continue to do that now?Eventually He Has To Make A ChoiceRight now, I believe that Tesla is no longer a priority for Mr. Musk, and that the following companies will take precedent:1 -Twitter: With Elon Musk's personal crusade and fortune tied into this acquisition, it's hardly a stretch to think that he'll need to spend a lot of time building the company into something which can potentially be profitable. Since 2021, a lot of the folks who he presumably wants to bring back to Twitter (I won't mention names since I don't want the article to turn political, but unless you've been living in a cave for the past 3 years - you know who I mean) have found other platforms and have since gravitated away.Especially since he plans to fire 75% of the company's employees, he'll need to have a hands-on approach if he wants to steer this mega tech company to a place where it can generate meaningful growth or profits in the years to come.2 -SpaceX: With the world of space exploration just beginning, and the company's recent advancements in rocket technologies, the company has been experiencing increased demand and this too requires a hands on approach to work with the engineers to solve the seemingly endless headwinds they face trying to colonize other planets, set up the Starlink network and more.This means, I believe, that outside of the near full-time job of running Twitter, that Mr. Musk will be spending a near full-time job equivalent of time at SpaceX in order to make these futuristic technologies and products work.3 -The Boring Company & Neuralink: While these companies have not been as high profile as Mr. Musk's other ones, recent news that the company is battling deadlines and postponing show-and-tell events further eludes or confirms that the companies are facing some difficulties taking off.Since Mr. Musk has been actively taking part in these companies and their issues, it's apparent to me that he's going to continue to spend time with these companies, which will further take time away from Tesla.So What's The Problem Exactly?The problem is the company's valuation.As we've seen with sales, growth is projected to slow over the next decade since competitive pressures are mounting and that's true for net income as well, especially if the company will need to lower prices in order to compete.Earnings Per Share Multiples - ComparisonTesla is currently trading at 30x to 50x forward earnings per share projections while they're expected to report slowing growth and a decline by 2027 due to certain estimates that tax credits end and various other factors coming in.EPS Projections & FWD P/E Ratio (Seeking Alpha)While these may not seem excessive, companies like Ford with a projected 25% increase in EPS this year are trading at around 7x forward earnings. Toyota Motors with a longer term EPS growth projection of 5-6% are trading at around 9x forward earnings.Sales Multiples - ComparisonIf we want to look at sales as an indication, things get even more interesting. Comparing Tesla's sales growth to that of BYD's, the company's closest competitor by unit sales volume, there's a stark difference in valuation.BYD Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)TSLA Sales Growth / Multiples (Seeking Alpha)The difference here is quite astonishing. With nearly identical growth, Tesla is trading at 4.5x to 8x sales multiples while BYD is trading at 0.7x to 1.3x.This is due in part to the enthusiasm and trust around Elon Musk's ability to solve issues and come up with product improvements, as his title so suggests. Without him at the helm, I have no doubt that the company can succeed, but can they do so at a valuation 3-4 times as high as other companies with somewhat similar growth projection? I'm just not sure.Conclusion, If There Is OneIs Tesla a good company which currently has a near monopoly on US all-electric vehicle sales with ramping up production in the Asia-Pacific and European Union and United Kingdom regions? Absolutely yes.Will they continue to grow their long-term sales at low to mid double digits over the next decade? Most likely.But with increasing competitive pressures from existing companies, near-certain Model 3 and Model Y pricing cuts and a sluggish sales prospect in China due to increasing competitive pressures from geopolitical forces, the company is going to need the ingenuity of the person who made them what they are today.As Mr. Musk continued to take on more and more impossible projects, I don't believe that dedication is sustainable for Tesla and I believe that the company will see him having a more and more hands-off approach as he focused on the other monumental tasks ahead with Twitter, SpaceX, The Boring Company and Neuralink.This doesn't mean that the company's growth is in question - but it does mean that if we treat Tesla as a generic company growing at the pace they are, they may be valued quite significantly lower than they are right now. This also means that, historically, during period where the market underperforms, like during recessions or market slowdowns, these types of companies tend to underperform the broader market.While the company's growth is not in question, their valuation is. And as a result, I believe that their fair value lies lower than their current valuation. So while I do believe in their future, I'm avoiding the stock altogether.This article is written by Pinxter Analytics for reference only.

Once it is determined that earnings aren&#39;t too cyclical, then I use a combination of earnings, earnings growth, and P/E mean reversion to estimate future returns based on previous earnings growth and sentiment patterns. I take those expectations and apply them 10 years into the future, and then convert the results into an expected CAGR percentage. If the expected return is really good, I will buy the stock, and if it&#39;s really low, I will often sell the stock. In this article, I will take readers through each step of this process.</p><p>Importantly, once it is established that a business has a long history of relatively stable and predictable earnings growth, it doesn&#39;t really matter to me what the business does. If it consistently makes more money over the course of each economic cycle, that&#39;s what I care about the most.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd2616262154bcd955f95bc22536731d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Over the past 20 years Microsoft has only experienced two years of EPS declines, once during the recession of 2009, when earnings fell -12% and once in 2013 when earnings fell a modest -7%. Every other year Microsoft has grown its earnings per share from one year to the next. I would categorize this as very low earnings cyclicality. Based on that, it is appropriate to use a fundamental analysis using earnings to value the stock, and that&#39;s what I&#39;ll do in this article. (If earnings had been more cyclical, I would use a different valuation technique.)</p><h3>Microsoft Stock -- Market Sentiment Return Expectations</h3><p>In order to estimate what sort of returns we might expect over the next 10 years, let&#39;s begin by examining what return we could expect 10 years from now if the P/E multiple were to revert to its mean from the previous economic cycle. For this, I&#39;m using a period that runs from 2015-2023.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d94dcdf085e19d4d955dded938282951\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"531\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s average P/E from 2015 to the present has been about 24.49 (the blue number circled in gold near the bottom of the FAST Graph). Using 2023&#39;s forward earnings estimates of $9.51 Microsoft has a current P/E of 23.82. If that 23.82 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 24.49 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, MSFT&#39;s price would rise and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of<i>+0.31%.</i>That&#39;s the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes 10 years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the return would be higher.</p><h3>Business Earnings Expectations</h3><p>We previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today&#39;s prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.</p><p>There are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow. Let&#39;s start with the earnings yield (which is an inverted P/E ratio, so the Earnings/Price ratio). The current earnings yield is about +4.20%. The way I like to think about this is, if I bought the company&#39;s whole business right now for $100, I would earn $4.20 per year on my investment if earnings remained the same for the next 10 years.</p><p>The next step is to estimate the company&#39;s earnings growth during this time period. I do that by figuring out at what rate earnings grew during the last cycle and applying that rate to the next 10 years. This involves calculating the historical EPS growth rate, taking into account each year&#39;s EPS growth or decline, and then backing out any share buybacks that occurred over that time period (because reducing shares will increase the EPS due to fewer shares).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc823ca5b80a2b444fcb0e0937e9d710\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Microsoft has reduced its shares outstanding by about 9% over this time period. I will make adjustments for these buybacks when calculating their earnings growth. After doing so, I get an estimated earnings growth rate for Microsoft during this period of +14.07%, which is very good. Because of my buyback adjustments that number is a little more conservative than FAST Graph&#39;s +15.72%, but it&#39;s worth noting that we never really had a &#34;true&#34; recession from 2015 to 2022 either, so I actually view my current estimate as a little on the optimistic side since Microsoft&#39;s earnings will probably experience at least some decline if we experience a recession, even if the decline is not super deep.</p><p>Next, I&#39;ll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought Microsoft&#39;s whole business for $100, it would pay me back $4.20 plus +14.07% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +14.07% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $193.40 including the original $100. When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a<i>+6.82%</i>10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.</p><h3>10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR Estimate</h3><p>Potential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for Microsoft, it will produce a +0.31% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +6.82% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of<i>+7.13%</i>at today&#39;s price.</p><p>My Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. A +7.13% expected CAGR makes Microsoft stock a &#34;Hold&#34; using these assumptions and means it&#39;s roughly fairly valued here.</p><p>Assuming the estimates for 2023 earnings don&#39;t change (and they might) the price at which Microsoft stock would cross the 12% 10-year CAGR threshold and become a &#34;Buy&#34; is $165.80 per share, which is about -26% lower than where the stock trades today.</p><h3>Recession Considerations</h3><p>So far, I don&#39;t think Microsoft&#39;s earnings expectations contain realistic recession estimates, but they do look to be at least reasonably close if we avoid a recession and earnings stagnate a bit while digesting the end of economic stimulus.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eade0d6871674075784b02a78ba5afcf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"327\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Currently, the market expects $9.51 of EPS for 2023. If the EPS growth trend of +13.87% leading into the pandemic stimulus would have continued without stimulus, we would have expected Microsoft to earn about $8.50 per share in 2023, which is a little bit lower than analysts expect right now, but at least in the same ballpark. What I expect to happen over the next three quarters is for analysts to lower their expectations from where they are now, down to something closer to $8.50. If that were to happen, it would lower my &#34;buy price&#34; down to about $148 per share, and this is probably my base case of what to expect in the first half of 2023. But since there is a pretty big distance between the current trading price and my current buy price, I probably have time to wait and see what the next earnings report looks like and get more information before making these adjustments to my buy price.</p><p>What I&#39;m not taking into account with that buy price are any earnings and stock price declines caused by an actual recession (rather than the stimulus earnings trend reverting to normal). A recession scenario<i>could</i>be a much more bearish scenario, so I feel obligated to share it.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7883cb9bceb7a10ee04ca05dae0ae8e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>If we go back to the Great Recession in 2008/9, leading into that recession Microsoft had a peak P/E ratio of about 23, and from peak to trough, the stock price fell about -60% off its highs even though EPS only declined -12% at its worst. At one point Microsoft traded at a P/E under 10. The potentially concerning part about the current downturn is that Microsoft&#39;s peak P/E was about 40, nearly double the 2007 peak P/E. This leaves room for a lot more multiple compression and downside price movement.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e65a177086d233dba667f7c9b6da760\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"309\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graph</p><p>In the forecasting graph above, I assumed a much more optimistic (and perhaps more reasonable) 15 P/E ratio for Microsoft in a recession and used the very generous EPS estimate of $9.51. This still resulted in a -50% drawdown from where the stock trades today. And, if earnings growth declines as I expect it to do, that would lower the expected price even more.</p><p>As I&#39;m sure many will point out, Microsoft is a different business than it was in 2007. And that&#39;s true. Additionally, even though I expect a recession in 2023, I don&#39;t yet expect it to be as bad as in 2008. But the assumptions above don&#39;t even assume an earnings decline and aren&#39;t nearly as pessimistic with the trough P/E as 2008 either. So, I just think it&#39;s important for Microsoft investors to know what is possible over the next year or two, and that because Microsoft was valued so richly going into this decline, the stock price could have a long way to fall and investors should be prepared for it. It&#39;s also worth noting that the current interest rate environment is much closer to that of 2008 than it is of 2020 as well.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Given what we know today about earnings expectations for 2023, my current buy price for Microsoft is $165.80, but I expect over the next several months for that buy price to fall down closer to $148.00 as earnings disappoint and the wider economy weakens in 2023. The $148.00 price has a relatively high chance of hitting, and I&#39;ll likely buy around there, but I will have no illusion that will necessarily be the bottom for the stock. If the recession is worse than expected the price could easily go lower, but with a business as high quality as Microsoft, I would hold through any additional downturn at that point because I have no doubt they will eventually recover.</p><p>An additional portfolio consideration is that I usually take 1% initial portfolio-weighted positions, and the last time I checked Microsoft was about a 5% weighting in the S&amp;P 500. If I bought at $148, and the price took a 2008-style dive deeper, I would feel comfortable adding a second 1% weighted Microsoft position even though it&#39;s not something I do very often. So, I view the $148 to $166 range of the next 3-4 months as having a very high probability of hitting and giving me a chance to add Microsoft to my portfolio at a decent price. But investors need to be aware the stock could go lower than that, and potentially be prepared to buy a second tranche if it does.</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>Here Is The Price I'll Start Buying Microsoft</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\">\nHere Is The Price I'll Start Buying Microsoft\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-04 16:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMicrosoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for potential purchase.In this article, I share my valuation process for Microsoft stock.I also share my ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MSFT":"微软"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1105116140","content_text":"SummaryMicrosoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for potential purchase.In this article, I share my valuation process for Microsoft stock.I also share my thoughts about how a recession could affect the stock price and the price range I would consider adding the stock to my portfolio.My Valuation Method For MicrosoftThe valuation method I use for Microsoft first checks to see how cyclical earnings have been historically.

For this, I'm using a period that runs from 2015-2023.FAST GraphsMicrosoft's average P/E from 2015 to the present has been about 24.49 (the blue number circled in gold near the bottom of the FAST Graph). Using 2023's forward earnings estimates of $9.51 Microsoft has a current P/E of 23.82. If that 23.82 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 24.49 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, MSFT's price would rise and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of+0.31%.That's the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes 10 years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the return would be higher.Business Earnings ExpectationsWe previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today's prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.There are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow.

I will make adjustments for these buybacks when calculating their earnings growth. After doing so, I get an estimated earnings growth rate for Microsoft during this period of +14.07%, which is very good. Because of my buyback adjustments that number is a little more conservative than FAST Graph's +15.72%, but it's worth noting that we never really had a \"true\" recession from 2015 to 2022 either, so I actually view my current estimate as a little on the optimistic side since Microsoft's earnings will probably experience at least some decline if we experience a recession, even if the decline is not super deep.Next, I'll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought Microsoft's whole business for $100, it would pay me back $4.20 plus +14.07% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +14.07% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $193.40 including the original $100. When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a+6.82%10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR EstimatePotential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for Microsoft, it will produce a +0.31% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +6.82% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of+7.13%at today's price.My Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. A +7.13% expected CAGR makes Microsoft stock a \"Hold\" using these assumptions and means it's roughly fairly valued here.Assuming the estimates for 2023 earnings don't change (and they might) the price at which Microsoft stock would cross the 12% 10-year CAGR threshold and become a \"Buy\" is $165.80 per share, which is about -26% lower than where the stock trades today.Recession ConsiderationsSo far, I don't think Microsoft's earnings expectations contain realistic recession estimates, but they do look to be at least reasonably close if we avoid a recession and earnings stagnate a bit while digesting the end of economic stimulus.FAST GraphsCurrently, the market expects $9.51 of EPS for 2023. If the EPS growth trend of +13.87% leading into the pandemic stimulus would have continued without stimulus, we would have expected Microsoft to earn about $8.50 per share in 2023, which is a little bit lower than analysts expect right now, but at least in the same ballpark. What I expect to happen over the next three quarters is for analysts to lower their expectations from where they are now, down to something closer to $8.50. If that were to happen, it would lower my \"buy price\" down to about $148 per share, and this is probably my base case of what to expect in the first half of 2023. But since there is a pretty big distance between the current trading price and my current buy price, I probably have time to wait and see what the next earnings report looks like and get more information before making these adjustments to my buy price.What I'm not taking into account with that buy price are any earnings and stock price declines caused by an actual recession (rather than the stimulus earnings trend reverting to normal). A recession scenariocouldbe a much more bearish scenario, so I feel obligated to share it.FAST GraphsIf we go back to the Great Recession in 2008/9, leading into that recession Microsoft had a peak P/E ratio of about 23, and from peak to trough, the stock price fell about -60% off its highs even though EPS only declined -12% at its worst. At one point Microsoft traded at a P/E under 10. The potentially concerning part about the current downturn is that Microsoft's peak P/E was about 40, nearly double the 2007 peak P/E. This leaves room for a lot more multiple compression and downside price movement.FAST GraphIn the forecasting graph above, I assumed a much more optimistic (and perhaps more reasonable) 15 P/E ratio for Microsoft in a recession and used the very generous EPS estimate of $9.51. This still resulted in a -50% drawdown from where the stock trades today. And, if earnings growth declines as I expect it to do, that would lower the expected price even more.As I'm sure many will point out, Microsoft is a different business than it was in 2007. And that's true. Additionally, even though I expect a recession in 2023, I don't yet expect it to be as bad as in 2008. But the assumptions above don't even assume an earnings decline and aren't nearly as pessimistic with the trough P/E as 2008 either. So, I just think it's important for Microsoft investors to know what is possible over the next year or two, and that because Microsoft was valued so richly going into this decline, the stock price could have a long way to fall and investors should be prepared for it. It's also worth noting that the current interest rate environment is much closer to that of 2008 than it is of 2020 as well.ConclusionGiven what we know today about earnings expectations for 2023, my current buy price for Microsoft is $165.80, but I expect over the next several months for that buy price to fall down closer to $148.00 as earnings disappoint and the wider economy weakens in 2023. The $148.00 price has a relatively high chance of hitting, and I'll likely buy around there, but I will have no illusion that will necessarily be the bottom for the stock. If the recession is worse than expected the price could easily go lower, but with a business as high quality as Microsoft, I would hold through any additional downturn at that point because I have no doubt they will eventually recover.An additional portfolio consideration is that I usually take 1% initial portfolio-weighted positions, and the last time I checked Microsoft was about a 5% weighting in the S&P 500. If I bought at $148, and the price took a 2008-style dive deeper, I would feel comfortable adding a second 1% weighted Microsoft position even though it's not something I do very often. So, I view the $148 to $166 range of the next 3-4 months as having a very high probability of hitting and giving me a chance to add Microsoft to my portfolio at a decent price. But investors need to be aware the stock could go lower than that, and potentially be prepared to buy a second tranche if it does.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":444,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980533529,"gmtCreate":1665760972161,"gmtModify":1676537661460,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9980533529","repostId":"1150944805","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1150944805","pubTimestamp":1665760924,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1150944805?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-14 23:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: Karp Bets Heavy On Apollo","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150944805","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryThe market underestimates the ability of Palantir’s Apollo to create additional shareholder v","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>The market underestimates the ability of Palantir’s Apollo to create additional shareholder value in the long run.</li><li>As organizations become more complex, the need for autonomous software deployment is going to increase, creating a monetary opportunity for Palantir thanks to its expertise in developing AI-based solutions.</li><li>This article highlights the untapped opportunities that Palantir is about to materialize, which in the end could lead to an appreciation of its share price in the foreseeable future.</li></ul><p>As corporations and institutions continue to grow in size, and at the same time begin to adapt to the new reality in which capital becomes scarce while the geopolitical uncertainties create new possibilities for additional supply chain disruptions, it becomes crucial for them to ensure that their software runs uninterrupted and is constantly up to date.

In its latest 10-Qreport, Palantir stated the following:</p><blockquote>Apollo is a cloud-agnostic, single control layer that coordinates ongoing delivery of new features, security updates, and platform configurations, helping to ensure the continuous operation of critical systems.</blockquote><p>At first, Palantir built Apollo for in-house use to help the company to speed up the process of integrating Gotham and Foundry into the organizations of its new clients.

Therefore, Palantir is only one of the few companies along with Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) and Amazon.com (AMZN) with the highest clearance level in the world, which gives its platforms, and Apollo in particular advantage against other platforms offered by different businesses in the DevOps and CI/CD space.</p><p>What we also know is that Apollo has already been able to deploy software and security updates in over 500 independently-released microservices across over 300 different environments. At the same time, there&#39;s also a possibility that those numbers are gradually increasing with each quarter, as Palantir continues to aggressively sign new customers and at the end of Q2 its customer count increased to 304, up from 169 a year ago.</p><p><b>What&#39;s Next?</b></p><p>Considering the capabilities of Apollo, the two major questions that investors could have in mind are how much revenue the platform is generating and what is its total addressable market. The first question is hard to answer because Palantir doesn&#39;t disclose the exact amount of revenue that each platform generates. However, we do know that aggressive growth in new customers occurred after Apollo has been released as a standalone product in 2021. At the same time, the fact that Palantir&#39;s CEO Alex Karp is saying that the demand for a software delivery and maintenance solution will be the same as the demand for a data integration platform could lead us to the conclusion that Apollo is going to have a greater impact on the business in the future.</p><p>As for the second question, we do know that Apollo is mostly a deployment solution for organizations that conduct their operations in the cloud.

That&#39;s why Apollo could be considered a supercloud solution. Wikibondescribessuperclouds as follows:</p><blockquote>Supercloud describes an architecture that taps the underlying services &amp; primitives of hyperscale and other clouds to deliver additional value above and beyond what&#39;s available from a single public cloud provider. A supercloud delivers capabilities through software, consumed as services, and must span multiple cloud platforms, inclusive of on-prem clouds and edge installations.</blockquote><p>Considering that with each year the number of cloud vendors and cloud platforms increases and the overall cloud computing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.43% by the end of the decade and be worth $1.6 trillion, it&#39;s safe to assume that the demand for a supercloud solution such as Apollo is also going to increase. As a result, there&#39;s a high possibility that Alex Karp would be right in his belief that there could be a significant demand for a solution such as Apollo in the future.</p><p>That&#39;s why I decided to slightly update my DCF model. In September, my DCF model showed that Palantir&#39;s fair value is $10.03 per share, which represents an upside of ~25% from the current levels. That model assumed that Palantir&#39;s top line would grow at 23.5% in FY22 and at 25% Y/Y in the following years, below the management&#39;s initial forecast of annual growth of 30% Y/Y through 2025.

That&#39;s why in this new model the revenue is forecasted to increase by 23.5% Y/Y, while in the following years the top-line growth increases to the management&#39;s initial forecasts of an annual growth rate of 30%. All the other metrics remain the same as in the previous model where WACC is 8%, while the terminal growth rate is 3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8945e8f8c5e950fd0f599af5911d429\" tg-width=\"894\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Palantir&#39;s DCF Model (Historical Data: Seeking Alpha, Assumptions: Author)</p><p>According to this more optimistic model, Palantir&#39;s enterprise value appears to be $22.6 billion, while its implied share price is $12.08 per share, which represents an upside of ~50% from the current market price and creates a buying opportunity for long-term investors.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75359c541640018716a7c4979077aa4c\" tg-width=\"693\" tg-height=\"155\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Palantir&#39;s DCF Model (Historical Data: Seeking Alpha, Assumptions: Author)</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>One of the downsides of Palantir is its high level of secrecy. Due to working with governmental agencies, the company can&#39;t disclose various contracts and relationships that it has with its clients. As a result, we don&#39;t know exactly how much revenue the company generates from each client. However, what&#39;s worse is that the company has also been actively investing in various SPACs last year. As a large portion of SPACs depreciated since the beginning of this year due to the worsening macroeconomic environment, there&#39;s a risk that Palantir could generate greater than expected losses from them in the foreseeable future. Even though the company closed its SPAC program earlier this year, the lack of transparency prevents investors from knowing how much the investments that were made in 2021 generated returns or lost capital, which could lead to weaker performance of the overall business than previously expected.</p><p>The other problem of Palantir is that as a growth stock, there&#39;s a real possibility that it could continue to depreciate or trade at distressed levels for as long as the Federal Reserve continues to increase interest rates to tame the rising inflation. As a result, while Palantir is undervalued at the current levels, it could remain to be undervalued for a while due to things that are outside of its control.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p><p>We&#39;ve entered a new period of global decoupling in which supply chains are being reorganized at the same time as the geopolitical uncertainties create new macroeconomic risks to organizations and institutions. As a result, in times like these, it becomes crucial to have a solution such as Apollo, which ensures that corporations and enterprises are able to deploy all the necessary software and security updates that make it possible for them to continue to operate in the current challenging environment with relative ease. That&#39;s why Palantir&#39;s CEO Alex Karp might be correct when he states that the demand for a solution such as Apollo could be as significant as the demand for other data analytics solutions that the company offers.</p><p>At the same time, considering that Palantir trades below its fair value both in the optimistic and in the base-case scenarios, long-term investors might use this as an opportunity to increase their exposure to the company at the current levels, as there&#39;s an indication that Apollo could greatly improve the business&#39;s performance in the foreseeable future.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

All the other metrics remain the same as in the previous model where WACC is 8%, while the terminal growth rate is 3%.Palantir's DCF Model (Historical Data: Seeking Alpha, Assumptions: Author)According to this more optimistic model, Palantir's enterprise value appears to be $22.6 billion, while its implied share price is $12.08 per share, which represents an upside of ~50% from the current market price and creates a buying opportunity for long-term investors.Palantir's DCF Model (Historical Data: Seeking Alpha, Assumptions: Author)RisksOne of the downsides of Palantir is its high level of secrecy. Due to working with governmental agencies, the company can't disclose various contracts and relationships that it has with its clients. As a result, we don't know exactly how much revenue the company generates from each client. However, what's worse is that the company has also been actively investing in various SPACs last year. As a large portion of SPACs depreciated since the beginning of this year due to the worsening macroeconomic environment, there's a risk that Palantir could generate greater than expected losses from them in the foreseeable future. Even though the company closed its SPAC program earlier this year, the lack of transparency prevents investors from knowing how much the investments that were made in 2021 generated returns or lost capital, which could lead to weaker performance of the overall business than previously expected.The other problem of Palantir is that as a growth stock, there's a real possibility that it could continue to depreciate or trade at distressed levels for as long as the Federal Reserve continues to increase interest rates to tame the rising inflation. As a result, while Palantir is undervalued at the current levels, it could remain to be undervalued for a while due to things that are outside of its control.The Bottom LineWe've entered a new period of global decoupling in which supply chains are being reorganized at the same time as the geopolitical uncertainties create new macroeconomic risks to organizations and institutions. As a result, in times like these, it becomes crucial to have a solution such as Apollo, which ensures that corporations and enterprises are able to deploy all the necessary software and security updates that make it possible for them to continue to operate in the current challenging environment with relative ease. That's why Palantir's CEO Alex Karp might be correct when he states that the demand for a solution such as Apollo could be as significant as the demand for other data analytics solutions that the company offers.At the same time, considering that Palantir trades below its fair value both in the optimistic and in the base-case scenarios, long-term investors might use this as an opportunity to increase their exposure to the company at the current levels, as there's an indication that Apollo could greatly improve the business's performance in the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":26,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9917472339,"gmtCreate":1665578108021,"gmtModify":1676537630277,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Goodles ftw","listText":"Goodles ftw","text":"Goodles ftw","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9917472339","repostId":"2274583523","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2274583523","pubTimestamp":1665588301,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2274583523?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-12 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Stocks to Buy in October That Could Soar 87% to 114%, According to Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2274583523","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Wall Street analysts are bullish on these growth stocks in spite of the bear market.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It has been a tough year for investors. The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> last peaked in early January, and the broad-based index has since lost 24% of its value, putting it in a bear market. But some Wall Street analysts view that downturn as a buying opportunity.

And Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron has a price target of $115 per share on Okta, which implies a 114% upside.</p><p>Here&#39;s why these growth stocks are worth buying today.</p><h2>Alphabet: A powerbroker in the advertising industry</h2><p>Alphabet is the parent company of search giant Google, a business that commands so much loyalty that it can reasonably be called the gateway to the internet. In fact, Google currently holds more than 90% market share among search engines. But Google also owns the wildly popular online video platform YouTube, which is currently tied with <b>Netflix</b> as the top streaming service as measured by viewing time, according to <b>Nielsen</b>.</p><p>Google has used those highly engaging web properties to position itself as a powerbroker in the advertising industry.

Google Cloud captured 8% of cloud infrastructure spending in the second quarter of 2022, up from 5% in the second quarter of 2019, according to Canalys. One of the drivers behind that success is its leadership in the data cloud market, which itself stems from expertise in analytics and artificial intelligence.</p><p>Not surprisingly, Alphabet has delivered stellar financial results like clockwork. Revenue climbed 26% to $278.1 billion in the past year, and free cash flow jumped 11% to $65.2 billion. But investors have good reason to believe that momentum will carry into the coming years.</p><p>Looking ahead, eMarketer says global digital ad spend will grow at nearly 10% per year to reach $876 billion by 2026, and Grand View Research estimates cloud computing spend will grow at nearly 16% per year to reach $1.6 trillion by 2030. That puts Alphabet in front of a massive market opportunity, and with shares trading at a reasonable 4.9 times sales -- a discount to the three-year average of 6.8 times sales -- now is a great time to buy this growth stock.</p><h2>Okta: The most comprehensive identity platform</h2><p>Okta specializes in identity and access management (IAM), a branch of cybersecurity that seeks to ensure only the right people can access applications and resources at the appropriate time. Its platform allows administrators to enforce contextual access policies based on factors like identity, device, and location, and it leans on artificial intelligence to measure risk and authenticate users.</p><p>Okta offers the most comprehensive IAM solution on the market, according to management. Its platform features over 7,000 prebuilt integrations that simplify adoption, making it easy for businesses to integrate identity into workforce applications like <b>Microsoft</b> 365 and <b>Salesforce</b>. Its platform also features developer tools -- acquired from Auth0 last year -- that allow businesses to embed identity into customer applications.</p><p>Unfortunately, the Auth0 integration has weighed on Okta&#39;s financial performance. Revenue climbed 57% to $1.6 billion over the past year, but free cash flow fell 81% to $23 million. Management recently addressed that issue by restructuring its product portfolio to simplify its go-to-market strategy. Investors should keep an eye on the situation, paying close attention to management&#39;s commentary regarding adoption of its customer identity cloud in the coming quarters.</p><p>On the other side of its business, Okta recently bolstered its workforce identity cloud with the launch of an identity governance and administration (IGA) product, Okta Identity Governance. That IGA solution simplifies auditing and compliance for customers, and it streamlines identity workflows with automation. Okta Identity Governance is now live in North America, and the global launch is slated for later this year. Also noteworthy, Okta has a privileged access management (PAM) product set to launch a few quarters down the road, further expanding its workforce identity cloud. PAM solutions are focused on securing superuser accounts and other highly privileged accounts.</p><p>Collectively, Okta&#39;s acquisition of Auth0 and its introduction of IGA and PAM solutions brings its total addressable market to $80 billion, leaving a long runway for growth. And with shares trading at 5.2 times sales -- a steep discount to the three-year average of 28.2 times sales -- now is a great time to buy this stock.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>2 Stocks to Buy in October That Could Soar 87% to 114%, According to Wall Street</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\">\n2 Stocks to Buy in October That Could Soar 87% to 114%, According to Wall Street\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-12 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/10/11/2-stocks-to-buy-that-could-soar-115-wall-street/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It has been a tough year for investors.

The company’s actions reflect the impact of macro challenges and lower demand in the semiconductor space.Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) impressed investors with its better-than-anticipated third-quarter earnings and its aggressive cost savings plans amid tough business conditions. The semiconductor giant aims to deliver $3 billion in cost reductions next year and is targeting $8 billion to $10 billion in annualized cost reductions and efficiency benefits by the end of 2025.Intel’s CEO Pat Gelsinger stated, “To position ourselves for this business cycle, we are aggressively addressing costs and driving efficiencies across the business to accelerate our IDM 2.0 flywheel for the digital future.” Intel recorded restructuring charges of $664 million in Q3 as part of its cost reduction initiatives.The company’s cost reduction actions include headcount optimization. In an interview with Reuters, Gelsinger indicated that the headcount optimization will begin in the fourth quarter, although he didn’t provide any details on how many employees will be impacted.Intel stock was up 5.6% in Thursday’s extended trading session. Shares have declined 49% year-to-date due to a broader tech sell-off and demand concerns in the semiconductor space.Intel’s Outlook Reflects PressureIntel’s Q3 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) declined 59% year-over-year to $0.59 due to lower revenue and margin pressure. However, adjusted EPS topped analysts’ consensus estimate of $0.34 due to lower-than-anticipated taxes.Revenue declined 20% to $15.3 billion due to lower revenue from the Client Computing and Datacenter and AI segments.Intel lowered its full-year guidance, citing macro headwinds. The company now expects adjusted EPS of $1.95 and revenue in the range of $63 billion to $64 billion. It had earlier projected adjusted EPS of $2.30 and revenue between $65 billion to $68 billion.Is Intel Buy, Sell, or Hold?Following the print, Rosenblatt Securities analyst Hans Mosesmann reiterated a Sell rating on Intel stock and lowered the price target to $20 from $30.Mosesmann  stated, “Weak outlook across the board and a macro malaise expected to continue well into 2023 creates an immensely delicate balance in committed CapEx expansion, FCF neutrality targets, share losses in data center, non-trivial employee reduction efforts, and a foundry services business that will take years to play out.”Overall, Wall Street is sidelined on Intel stock, with a Hold consensus rating based on four Buys, 14 Holds, and 11 Sells. The average Intel stock price target of $33 implies a 25.6% upside potential.ConclusionIntel is taking the required steps to fight challenging market conditions and improve profitability. However, Wall Street remains cautious as the company has been losing ground to rivals like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":517,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9914008468,"gmtCreate":1665119677854,"gmtModify":1676537560954,"author":{"id":"4127309136508732","authorId":"4127309136508732","name":"cky92","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/30bf8de6f8868dfb35bef0e86df9a12b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4127309136508732","authorIdStr":"4127309136508732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9914008468","repostId":"2273828361","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2273828361","pubTimestamp":1665108107,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2273828361?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-07 10:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Insider Buying 2022: 15 Stocks to Bet On Despite the Bear Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2273828361","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Source: ShutterstockIn October 2021, I made a big call on Longeveron (NASDAQ:LGVN) stock, a biotech ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11abc7bc1b026070774bd992fe8fb96d\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Shutterstock</p><p>In October 2021, I made a big call on <b>Longeveron</b> (NASDAQ:<b>LGVN</b>) stock, a biotech firm working on a promising Alzheimer’s therapy.</p><p>Within six weeks, shares had risen over 11x… a stunning 1,000% return!</p><p>My secret?</p><p>I noticed that the biotech’s CFO was quietly buying shares in the company.</p><p>“With clinical results due within the next month, Longeveron’s executives are likely using their knowledge of the Aging Frailty study to predict a strong outcome in the Alzheimer’s trial.”</p><p>Just a month later, the company would announce some unexpectedly good news: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Longeveron’s Lomecel-B for use!</p><h2>The Secret to Finding 1,000% Winners</h2><p>It turns out that Longeveron’s management aren’t the only ones who are suspiciously good at timing their company’s stock.</p><p>A study by MIT researchers found that insider transactions in the U.S. would have turned $10,000 into $156,000 over their study period, compared to around $50,300 in the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>.</p><p>That’s because insiders often act on privileged information, both knowingly and unknowingly. If sales figures are doing well… or patients are responding well to clinical trials… they don’t need the “official” SEC filings to decide to buy.</p><p>Some call it a total scam.</p><p>And I get it. SEC rules around insider transactions are surprisingly lax; if a CEO sees a new product performing well or is on the cusp of making a massive deal, it’s often entirely legal to trade on that information. In 2018, <b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TSLA</b>) CEO Elon Musk bought $25 million of his company’s shares while details of a massive $2 billion capital raise were still under wraps.</p><p>TSLA shares would rise 206% within a year.</p><p>But as I’ve long said, <b>if you can’t beat ’em, you might as well join</b>. If the world’s richest man generated an extra $75 million along the way by using privileged information, isn’t it fair to follow his steps?</p><p>It’s a strategy I’ve called the <b>Insider Track</b>.</p><h2>The Best Time to Buy… Is in a Bear Market</h2><p>The Insider Track strategy has provenly strong results. Since January 2009, C-Suite buying has generated an annualized return of 20.8%, according to tracking site TipRanks. And in the past week alone, insiders have snapped up $45 million of their corporate shares.</p><p>These amounts are admittedly smaller than in previous declines. In May 2020, insiders bought a stunning $161 million of shares after the Covid-19 slump. And today, many sectors are doing worse than in 2020 because of higher inflation and rising rates.</p><p>But some American businesses are still humming along. Here are 15 stocks where insiders act as if they know something the market doesn’t.</p><h2>Top Market Timers</h2><p>One of the best <b>Insider Track</b> strategies involves mimicking the trades of particularly successful insiders. These are investment firms, CEOs and company owners that have an unusual ability to buy the dips.</p><p><b>B. Riley Financial</b>. The boutique investment bank has a strong track record in trading the companies it owns.</p><ul><li><b>Lazydays Holdings</b> (NASDAQ:<b>LAZY</b>). In July, the investment bank bought over 10,000 LAZY shares in the $12 range before the CEO announced “remarkable performance” figures. Shares would jump to $17.50. Recent market wobbles have sent LAZY back to the $12 range – an opportunity B. Riley has used to add another 20,000 shares.</li></ul><p><b>Opaleye LLC</b>. Opaleye LLC has a notable record of picking biotech winners. A $16 million investment in <b>Travere Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TVTX</b>) in 2014 is now worth almost $50 million, and a smaller investment in <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OCUL\">Ocular Therapeutix</a></b> (NASDAQ:<b>OCUL</b>) netted an even more significant 400% return in 2020. Now, the company has added shares in:</p><ul><li><b>TELA Bio</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>TELA</u></b>). Since June, Opaleye has snapped up shares of TELA in the $5.75 to $8.25 range in seven transactions. The commercial-stage medical tech firm produces products for soft-tissue reconstruction in hernias, plastic and reconstructive surgery. The firm has a stable business, so Opaleye is likely buying as a valuation play.</li><li><b>TRACON Pharmaceuticals</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TCON</b>). The biotech research firm is developing an oncology drug that targets the PD-L1 antibody, a known pathway under study by other large cancer research firms. The drug is now in its pivotal Phase 2 trial, giving the stock a significant upside on any good news.</li><li><b>Protara Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>TARA</b>). The New York-based biopharma company has two development programs in its pipeline. OK-432 is designed to treat lymphatic malformations, a common disease thought to affect 1 in every 4,000 live births, and TARA-002, a treatment for bladder cancer. Opaleye’s 19,400 share addition in mid-September brings its stake to 2,575,77, a significant stake in a company with potential blockbusters in its pipeline.</li></ul><h3>Biotech Stocks</h3><p>Opaleye’s investments represent bets on biotech — some of the hardest decisions for the <b>Insider Track</b> strategy. Many of these R&amp;D firms are riding on a single drug candidate, meaning one failed trial will send the stock to zero. And as outsiders, we can’t tell the difference between opportunistic insider buying versus “pump and dumps.”</p><p><i>But biotechs are also some of the most lucrative bets, as Longeveron shows.</i></p><p>That’s because biotech executives often know clinical trial results years before the studies publish official results. If half of your patients suddenly stop developing cancers, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist (or a biotech CEO) to realize your therapy is probably outperforming the placebo in your double-blind study. These executives are also generally aware of how discussions with healthcare regulators are progressing.</p><p>That leads us to three biotech stocks where insiders have recently bought significant stakes.</p><p><b>Zivo Bioscience</b> (NASDAQ:<b>ZIVO</b>). Director Christopher Maggiore joined CEO John Payne in buying shares in the $3.50 range after shares fell from over $5. The company develops algae-based products for food-based ingredients and has a market value of under $30 million. It’s a risky bet, but Mr. Maggiore’s $25,000 share purchase suggests he knows something we don’t.</p><p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BTTX\">Better Therapeutics</a></b> (NASDAQ:<b>BTTX</b>). The prescription digital therapeutics firm has seen a recent rash of cluster buying. The company’s CEO, CFO and a 10% owner have added $304,000 to their stakes since Sept. 12, a telling sign that the firm might have stumbled on a working therapy. Management previously indicated that its most promising candidate, BT-001, could advance pivotal trials this year or early 2023. Trades centered in the $2 range.</p><p><b>TransCode Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>RNAZ</b>). The firm’s CEO and 10% owner added 20,000 shares on Sept. 14, raising his stake to 893,114 shares. The firm has a single therapeutic candidate, TTDX-MC138, in its pipeline designed to treat metastatic cancer. The drug is in preclinical trials, meaning that any good news could send shares up several times over.</p><h2>Insider Purchases of Public Offerings</h2><p>Public offerings are one of the best ways to understand insider sentiment. Management can spend months preparing these offerings, giving them a clear idea of the issue’s true value as Elon Musk demonstrated in his 2019 TSLA purchase.</p><p><b>Larimar Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>LRMR</b>). The biotech’s CEO, CFO and two directors bought a combined 5.1 million shares at the firm’s public offering price of $3.15. Larimar’s lead candidate CTI-1601 is currently undergoing Phase 1 clinical trials for Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare genetic disease. Shares would jump 15.5% the following day after the FDA lifted a hold on the trial, but such broad insider purchasing often indicates more potential gains.</p><p><b>LinkBancorp</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>LNKB</u></b>). The Pennsylvania-based bank saw 17 executives and directors buy shares in its recent $7.50 public offer – the same price it offered public investors. One director added 80,000 shares in the $7.70 range after prices jumped in first-day trading. Though outsiders won’t get a clear look into the bank’s recent merger with Gratz until next quarter, insiders seem to believe there’s no need to wait for official pro forma figures to buy at market prices.</p><h2>Cluster Buying</h2><p>Finally, corporate executives often act together in buying company shares. These are some of the most compelling <b>Insider Track</b> investments to make.</p><p><b>Macerich</b> (NYSE:<b>MAC</b>). The Santa Monica-based homebuilder saw six insiders buy 104,617 shares this week, including the company’s CEO, president, CFO, and head of leasing. The company now trades at 0.6x book value, significantly below its historical average of 1.6x.</p><p><b>Liquidia</b> (NASDAQ:<b>LQDA</b>). Shares of the biopharmaceutical company sank 37% in late August after losing a patent battle with <b>United Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:<b>UTHR</b>) Insiders, however, have recently bought shares in the $5.50-$6.00 range, including its CEO (45,747 shares), CFO (8000 shares), Commercial SVP (2,160 shares), COO (1,918 shares) and 10% owner <b>Caligan Partners</b> (250,000 shares).</p><p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MFA\">MFA Financial</a></b> (NYSE:<b>MFA</b>). Between Sept. 14-15, the financial firm’s CEO, CFO, Co-CIO and a director added over 10,000 shares to their already-substantial holdings. Shares of MFA have fallen 55% this year over fears about its lending portfolio, particularly from its high exposure to residential whole loans. Insiders are buying shares as if the worries are wildly overblown.</p><p><b>B. Riley Financial</b> (NASDAQ:<b>RILY</b>). The company’s CEO Andrew Moore and director Randall Paulson joined owner Bryant Riley this week in snapping up a combined 48,400 shares in the boutique investment banking and wealth management firm. Shares currently trade at under 6x price-earnings, making it one of the cheapest investment banks by that metric.</p><p><b>Tilly’s</b> (NYSE:<b>TLYS</b>). The CFO of the youth-oriented shoe and clothing retailer joined two directors this week in buying up shares in the $6-$7 range. Tilly’s recent share slide now prices the retailer at 1.5x EV/EBITDA (enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), around a quarter of its usual value. Given its high operating leverage, a stronger-than-expected back-to-school season could send shares up 2x-3x from current prices.</p><p><b>L. B. Foster</b> (NASDAQ:<b>FSTR</b>). The CEO and CFO of the railroad infrastructure firm bought another 4,000 shares on Sept. 13, increasing their combined stake to over 110,000. The company trades for under 0.6x price-book, its lowest valuation since February 2016. The last time that happened, shares would recover within two months, earning investors a 60% return within two months and another 30% return within the next 10.</p><h2>Conclusion: How to Use the Insider Track</h2><p>Not all insider purchases are created equal.</p><p>Some industries like biotech, metals and mining are a treasure trove of opportunity. Executives are often aware of promising new drugs and dig sites long before the companies are required by the SEC to disclose material findings.</p><p>Following executives in other sectors comes with greater risks. Are insiders at <b>Exxon</b> (NYSE:<b>XOM</b>) buying because of an unannounced deal?

If sales figures are doing well… or patients are responding well to clinical trials… they don’t need the “official” SEC filings to decide to buy.Some call it a total scam.And I get it. SEC rules around insider transactions are surprisingly lax; if a CEO sees a new product performing well or is on the cusp of making a massive deal, it’s often entirely legal to trade on that information. In 2018, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk bought $25 million of his company’s shares while details of a massive $2 billion capital raise were still under wraps.TSLA shares would rise 206% within a year.But as I’ve long said, if you can’t beat ’em, you might as well join. If the world’s richest man generated an extra $75 million along the way by using privileged information, isn’t it fair to follow his steps?It’s a strategy I’ve called the Insider Track.The Best Time to Buy… Is in a Bear MarketThe Insider Track strategy has provenly strong results. Since January 2009, C-Suite buying has generated an annualized return of 20.8%, according to tracking site TipRanks. And in the past week alone, insiders have snapped up $45 million of their corporate shares.These amounts are admittedly smaller than in previous declines. In May 2020, insiders bought a stunning $161 million of shares after the Covid-19 slump. And today, many sectors are doing worse than in 2020 because of higher inflation and rising rates.But some American businesses are still humming along. Here are 15 stocks where insiders act as if they know something the market doesn’t.Top Market TimersOne of the best Insider Track strategies involves mimicking the trades of particularly successful insiders. These are investment firms, CEOs and company owners that have an unusual ability to buy the dips.B. Riley Financial. The boutique investment bank has a strong track record in trading the companies it owns.Lazydays Holdings (NASDAQ:LAZY). In July, the investment bank bought over 10,000 LAZY shares in the $12 range before the CEO announced “remarkable performance” figures. Shares would jump to $17.50. Recent market wobbles have sent LAZY back to the $12 range – an opportunity B. Riley has used to add another 20,000 shares.Opaleye LLC. Opaleye LLC has a notable record of picking biotech winners. A $16 million investment in Travere Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TVTX) in 2014 is now worth almost $50 million, and a smaller investment in Ocular Therapeutix (NASDAQ:OCUL) netted an even more significant 400% return in 2020. Now, the company has added shares in:TELA Bio (NASDAQ:TELA). Since June, Opaleye has snapped up shares of TELA in the $5.75 to $8.25 range in seven transactions. The commercial-stage medical tech firm produces products for soft-tissue reconstruction in hernias, plastic and reconstructive surgery. The firm has a stable business, so Opaleye is likely buying as a valuation play.TRACON Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:TCON). The biotech research firm is developing an oncology drug that targets the PD-L1 antibody, a known pathway under study by other large cancer research firms. The drug is now in its pivotal Phase 2 trial, giving the stock a significant upside on any good news.Protara Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TARA). The New York-based biopharma company has two development programs in its pipeline. OK-432 is designed to treat lymphatic malformations, a common disease thought to affect 1 in every 4,000 live births, and TARA-002, a treatment for bladder cancer. Opaleye’s 19,400 share addition in mid-September brings its stake to 2,575,77, a significant stake in a company with potential blockbusters in its pipeline.Biotech StocksOpaleye’s investments represent bets on biotech — some of the hardest decisions for the Insider Track strategy. Many of these R&D firms are riding on a single drug candidate, meaning one failed trial will send the stock to zero. And as outsiders, we can’t tell the difference between opportunistic insider buying versus “pump and dumps.”But biotechs are also some of the most lucrative bets, as Longeveron shows.That’s because biotech executives often know clinical trial results years before the studies publish official results. If half of your patients suddenly stop developing cancers, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist (or a biotech CEO) to realize your therapy is probably outperforming the placebo in your double-blind study. These executives are also generally aware of how discussions with healthcare regulators are progressing.That leads us to three biotech stocks where insiders have recently bought significant stakes.Zivo Bioscience (NASDAQ:ZIVO). Director Christopher Maggiore joined CEO John Payne in buying shares in the $3.50 range after shares fell from over $5. The company develops algae-based products for food-based ingredients and has a market value of under $30 million. It’s a risky bet, but Mr. Maggiore’s $25,000 share purchase suggests he knows something we don’t.Better Therapeutics (NASDAQ:BTTX). The prescription digital therapeutics firm has seen a recent rash of cluster buying. The company’s CEO, CFO and a 10% owner have added $304,000 to their stakes since Sept. 12, a telling sign that the firm might have stumbled on a working therapy. Management previously indicated that its most promising candidate, BT-001, could advance pivotal trials this year or early 2023. Trades centered in the $2 range.TransCode Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RNAZ). The firm’s CEO and 10% owner added 20,000 shares on Sept. 14, raising his stake to 893,114 shares. The firm has a single therapeutic candidate, TTDX-MC138, in its pipeline designed to treat metastatic cancer. The drug is in preclinical trials, meaning that any good news could send shares up several times over.Insider Purchases of Public OfferingsPublic offerings are one of the best ways to understand insider sentiment. Management can spend months preparing these offerings, giving them a clear idea of the issue’s true value as Elon Musk demonstrated in his 2019 TSLA purchase.Larimar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:LRMR). The biotech’s CEO, CFO and two directors bought a combined 5.1 million shares at the firm’s public offering price of $3.15. Larimar’s lead candidate CTI-1601 is currently undergoing Phase 1 clinical trials for Friedreich’s ataxia, a rare genetic disease. Shares would jump 15.5% the following day after the FDA lifted a hold on the trial, but such broad insider purchasing often indicates more potential gains.LinkBancorp (NASDAQ:LNKB). The Pennsylvania-based bank saw 17 executives and directors buy shares in its recent $7.50 public offer – the same price it offered public investors. One director added 80,000 shares in the $7.70 range after prices jumped in first-day trading. Though outsiders won’t get a clear look into the bank’s recent merger with Gratz until next quarter, insiders seem to believe there’s no need to wait for official pro forma figures to buy at market prices.Cluster BuyingFinally, corporate executives often act together in buying company shares. These are some of the most compelling Insider Track investments to make.Macerich (NYSE:MAC). The Santa Monica-based homebuilder saw six insiders buy 104,617 shares this week, including the company’s CEO, president, CFO, and head of leasing. The company now trades at 0.6x book value, significantly below its historical average of 1.6x.Liquidia (NASDAQ:LQDA). Shares of the biopharmaceutical company sank 37% in late August after losing a patent battle with United Therapeutics (NASDAQ:UTHR) Insiders, however, have recently bought shares in the $5.50-$6.00 range, including its CEO (45,747 shares), CFO (8000 shares), Commercial SVP (2,160 shares), COO (1,918 shares) and 10% owner Caligan Partners (250,000 shares).MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA). Between Sept. 14-15, the financial firm’s CEO, CFO, Co-CIO and a director added over 10,000 shares to their already-substantial holdings. Shares of MFA have fallen 55% this year over fears about its lending portfolio, particularly from its high exposure to residential whole loans. Insiders are buying shares as if the worries are wildly overblown.B. Riley Financial (NASDAQ:RILY). The company’s CEO Andrew Moore and director Randall Paulson joined owner Bryant Riley this week in snapping up a combined 48,400 shares in the boutique investment banking and wealth management firm. Shares currently trade at under 6x price-earnings, making it one of the cheapest investment banks by that metric.Tilly’s (NYSE:TLYS). The CFO of the youth-oriented shoe and clothing retailer joined two directors this week in buying up shares in the $6-$7 range. Tilly’s recent share slide now prices the retailer at 1.5x EV/EBITDA (enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), around a quarter of its usual value. Given its high operating leverage, a stronger-than-expected back-to-school season could send shares up 2x-3x from current prices.L. B. Foster (NASDAQ:FSTR). The CEO and CFO of the railroad infrastructure firm bought another 4,000 shares on Sept. 13, increasing their combined stake to over 110,000. The company trades for under 0.6x price-book, its lowest valuation since February 2016. The last time that happened, shares would recover within two months, earning investors a 60% return within two months and another 30% return within the next 10.Conclusion: How to Use the Insider TrackNot all insider purchases are created equal.Some industries like biotech, metals and mining are a treasure trove of opportunity. Executives are often aware of promising new drugs and dig sites long before the companies are required by the SEC to disclose material findings.Following executives in other sectors comes with greater risks. Are insiders at Exxon (NYSE:XOM) buying because of an unannounced deal? Or are they blindly speculating on oil prices instead?That’s why I tend to avoid companies like HighPeak Energy (NASDAQ:HPK), U.S. Energy Corp (NASDAQ:USEG) and Stronghold Digital Mining (NASDAQ:SDIG) — firms that also recently announced insider purchases. Shares in these firms more closely track the price of oil and Bitcoin (BTC-USD) – assets that no executive can predict.Instead, I focus on bets with particularly opaque financials and high operating leverage. And though every investment requires deeper research before jumping in, the Insider Track provides us with a strong starting point to beating the markets.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
