No Musk, no Tesla. If breaking contracts is the norm what structure is left for innovating and enterprise? Musk should follow Jobs way. Leave if package not approved. Focus on his other companies. Public company good for fund raising. Nightmare to manage.

However, improving macroeconomic indicators are hinting at a potential bull market surge in the coming months.</p><p>According to the preliminary data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. real gross domestic product (real GDP, a measure of inflation-adjusted economic activity) was up at an annual rate of 4.9% in the third quarter (ending Sep. 30, 2023), better than the 4.7% estimate. Additionally, according to the Labor Department&#39;s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the consumer price index (CPI, a metric of inflation) rose year over year by 3.2% for twelve months ending October 2023, slower than the 3.7% rise seen for the 12 months ending September 2023. The cooling inflation hints at a possible end to the Federal Reserve&#39;s interest rate hike cycle, which bodes well for the health of the stock market.</p><p>Against the backdrop of improving macros, we can expect a significant recovery in ad spending -- which in turn could be beneficial for technology stocks such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ROKU\">Roku </a>. Here&#39;s why these stocks are attractive picks in the current market environment.</p><h2 id=\"id_2387052794\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></h2><p>After a disastrous performance in 2022, Meta Platforms made a major comeback in 2023, with shares rising by nearly 182.5% so far this year.</p><p>Meta has reported stellar performance in the third quarter (ending Sep. 30, 2023), with both revenue and earnings handily surpassing consensus estimates. This has been driven by the strong performance of its advertising business, recorded under the &#34;Family of Apps&#34; business segment (which includes revenue earned from social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads). Meta also posted an operating margin of 40% in the third quarter, a dramatic year-over-year improvement of 20 percentage points.</p><p>In the third quarter, the daily active users of Meta&#39;s &#34;Family of Apps&#34; grew by 7.2% year-over-year to 3.14 billion. With a user base accounting for nearly 40% of the global population, Meta continues to see increased interest from the advertiser community. Meta is also leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen all of its business offerings--improving ad targeting, content discovery, user engagement, and monetization.</p><p>Meta is also focusing on developing new revenue streams. Although a headwind in 2022, Reels has already become revenue-neutral in 2023, and is expected to become a modest tailwind in 2024. The company is also working on monetizing its 200-million-strong user base on WhatsApp Business. The company&#39;s Click-to-WhatsApp ads (allowing customers to connect directly with businesses through WhatsApp) have already reached a multi-billion dollar annual run rate. The company is further working to reduce dependence on advertising by creating a new revenue stream through paid business messaging by merchants on the Messenger and WhatsApp platforms.</p><p>There is no question that Meta&#39;s investments in areas such as mixed and augmented reality and the metaverse have proved to be a drag for the company, and have been hurting overall investor sentiment. However, despite these challenges, thanks to a strong core advertising business, new evolving revenue streams, and robust AI initiatives, Meta could prove to be a smart pick in the event of an upcoming bull surge.</p><h2 id=\"id_2519350510\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ROKU\">Roku</a></h2><p>Roku, the most popular streaming platform in North America with a 53% market share, came out with blowout results in the third quarter. Revenue and earnings surpassed both the company&#39;s own guidance and consensus estimates. The company has reported positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the first time since early 2022. These numbers are impressive considering that ad spending (the main source of Roku&#39;s revenue) has been negatively affected in the current uncertain macroeconomic environment.</p><p>The accelerated pace of cord-cutting (the shift of viewers and advertisers from linear television to streaming media) continues to be the key growth driver for Roku. According to Leichtman Research Group, the largest pay-TV providers in the U.S. lost 465,000 net subscribers -- significantly higher than the 385,000 net subscribers lost in the same period of the prior year. With many of these viewers opting to purchase either Roku devices and/or devices with Roku&#39;s smart TV operating system for streaming entertainment, the company saw a 16% year-over-year jump to 75.8 million active accounts in the third quarter. Streaming hours on the Roku operating system also grew year-over-year by 22% to 26.7 billion hours.</p><p>Although more popular for its streaming hardware devices, Roku earns most of its total revenue (85% in the third quarter) from the platform segment (which is predominantly advertising revenue). The company earns money from its streaming partners in two ways: as a percentage of the subscription fees paid by users, and 30% of the ad inventory for ad-supported channels.

However, improving macroeconomic indicators are hinting at a potential bull market surge in the coming months.According to the preliminary data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. real gross domestic product (real GDP, a measure of inflation-adjusted economic activity) was up at an annual rate of 4.9% in the third quarter (ending Sep. 30, 2023), better than the 4.7% estimate. Additionally, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the consumer price index (CPI, a metric of inflation) rose year over year by 3.2% for twelve months ending October 2023, slower than the 3.7% rise seen for the 12 months ending September 2023. The cooling inflation hints at a possible end to the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike cycle, which bodes well for the health of the stock market.Against the backdrop of improving macros, we can expect a significant recovery in ad spending -- which in turn could be beneficial for technology stocks such as Meta Platforms and Roku . Here's why these stocks are attractive picks in the current market environment.Meta PlatformsAfter a disastrous performance in 2022, Meta Platforms made a major comeback in 2023, with shares rising by nearly 182.5% so far this year.Meta has reported stellar performance in the third quarter (ending Sep. 30, 2023), with both revenue and earnings handily surpassing consensus estimates. This has been driven by the strong performance of its advertising business, recorded under the \"Family of Apps\" business segment (which includes revenue earned from social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads). Meta also posted an operating margin of 40% in the third quarter, a dramatic year-over-year improvement of 20 percentage points.In the third quarter, the daily active users of Meta's \"Family of Apps\" grew by 7.2% year-over-year to 3.14 billion. With a user base accounting for nearly 40% of the global population, Meta continues to see increased interest from the advertiser community. Meta is also leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen all of its business offerings--improving ad targeting, content discovery, user engagement, and monetization.Meta is also focusing on developing new revenue streams. Although a headwind in 2022, Reels has already become revenue-neutral in 2023, and is expected to become a modest tailwind in 2024. The company is also working on monetizing its 200-million-strong user base on WhatsApp Business. The company's Click-to-WhatsApp ads (allowing customers to connect directly with businesses through WhatsApp) have already reached a multi-billion dollar annual run rate. The company is further working to reduce dependence on advertising by creating a new revenue stream through paid business messaging by merchants on the Messenger and WhatsApp platforms.There is no question that Meta's investments in areas such as mixed and augmented reality and the metaverse have proved to be a drag for the company, and have been hurting overall investor sentiment. However, despite these challenges, thanks to a strong core advertising business, new evolving revenue streams, and robust AI initiatives, Meta could prove to be a smart pick in the event of an upcoming bull surge.RokuRoku, the most popular streaming platform in North America with a 53% market share, came out with blowout results in the third quarter. Revenue and earnings surpassed both the company's own guidance and consensus estimates. The company has reported positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the first time since early 2022. These numbers are impressive considering that ad spending (the main source of Roku's revenue) has been negatively affected in the current uncertain macroeconomic environment.The accelerated pace of cord-cutting (the shift of viewers and advertisers from linear television to streaming media) continues to be the key growth driver for Roku. According to Leichtman Research Group, the largest pay-TV providers in the U.S. lost 465,000 net subscribers -- significantly higher than the 385,000 net subscribers lost in the same period of the prior year. With many of these viewers opting to purchase either Roku devices and/or devices with Roku's smart TV operating system for streaming entertainment, the company saw a 16% year-over-year jump to 75.8 million active accounts in the third quarter. Streaming hours on the Roku operating system also grew year-over-year by 22% to 26.7 billion hours.Although more popular for its streaming hardware devices, Roku earns most of its total revenue (85% in the third quarter) from the platform segment (which is predominantly advertising revenue). The company earns money from its streaming partners in two ways: as a percentage of the subscription fees paid by users, and 30% of the ad inventory for ad-supported channels. As a leading smart TV operating system and a major streaming content aggregator, Roku has been leveraging AI to improve content discovery and ad targeting across streaming channels. This helps attract even more streaming partners and advertisers to its platform, which further brings in more revenue for the company. Furthermore, the company's free ad-supported Roku Channel (which streams Roku's original content) is playing a major role in user engagement and user lock-in.Considering the solid tailwinds in the streaming sector and Roku's brand strength and presence, the company seems well-positioned to prove to be a solid turnaround story in the coming months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":308271581638696,"gmtCreate":1716283540165,"gmtModify":1716283545970,"author":{"id":"4133159656893812","authorId":"4133159656893812","authorIdStr":"4133159656893812","name":"Smert","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/97ee415ffeb5ae3f83795c25e38d4b78","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4133159656893812"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"No Musk, no Tesla.

Kimbal Musk is Elon's brother and has served on the board for two decades, while Murdoch is a personal friend, the letter says.Murdoch's family has a controlling stake in News Corp, which owns Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones.The group of shareholders also includes SOC Investment Group, union-owned Amalgamated Bank, United Church Funds, Nordea Asset Management and AkademikerPension, a Danish pension fund.Lander, as NYC comptroller, oversees the city's public pension funds.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":381,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":307160266588288,"gmtCreate":1715994151428,"gmtModify":1715994154997,"author":{"id":"4133159656893812","authorId":"4133159656893812","authorIdStr":"4133159656893812","name":"Smert","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/97ee415ffeb5ae3f83795c25e38d4b78","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4133159656893812"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Textbook example of pump and dump","listText":"Textbook example of pump and dump","text":"Textbook example of pump and dump","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/307160266588288","repostId":"2436929550","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2436929550","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1715989534,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2436929550?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-05-18 07:45","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"Riding the Roaring Kitty Roller Coaster: Why GameStop and AMC Meme Madness Is an \"Outlier Event\"","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2436929550","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Shares of GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. soared this week after trader Keith Gill, also known as \"Roaring Kitty,\" made his eye-catching return to social media after a three-year hi","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Shares of GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. soared this week after trader Keith Gill, also known as &#34;Roaring Kitty,&#34; made his eye-catching return to social media after a three-year hiatus.</p><p>Gill was an influential figure in the meme-stock frenzy in 2021, and his flurry of posts on X - known as Twitter when Roaring Kitty burst into the stock-market spotlight - thrust GameStop <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$(GME)$</a> and AMC <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$(AMC)$</a> to center stage once again.</p><p>Other heavily shorted stocks - including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPWRV\">SunPower Corp</a>. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPWR\">$(SPWR)$</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MAXN\">Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd</a>.

However, it’s quite interesting that at least two insiders dumped large quantities of Reddit shares soon after the company’s IPO.</p><p>Here’s the timeline. Reddit started trading under the symbol RDDT on the <strong>New York Stock Exchange</strong> on March 21. For what it’s worth, <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Chris MacDonald warned that Reddit’s insiders would “be able to sell stock immediately following the IPO.”</p><p>Then, on March 25, Reddit Chief Financial Officer Andrew Vollero reportedly sold 71,765 shares of the company. That transaction was worth slightly more than $2.3 million.</p><p>That same day, Reddit President and CEO Steve Huffman reportedly sold 500,000 shares of his company. Stunningly, that transaction was valued at over $16 million.</p><p>I’ll let you draw whatever conclusions you’d like from this information.

I posited that Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) shares could rally like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock did. Now, I’m having serious doubts and can’t bring myself to recommend investing in Reddit stock right now.I’m not denying that Reddit’s debut for public trading could still be 2024’s most important initial public offering. At the same time, it’s too risky to hold more than a few shares of RDDT stock. So, don’t go overboard and, as always, be sure to have an exit strategy in place.Reddit Stock: Was This a Pump-and-Dump?First things first: I’m not directly accusing Reddit’s management of perpetuating a pump-and-dump scheme. However, it’s quite interesting that at least two insiders dumped large quantities of Reddit shares soon after the company’s IPO.Here’s the timeline. Reddit started trading under the symbol RDDT on the New York Stock Exchange on March 21. For what it’s worth, InvestorPlace contributor Chris MacDonald warned that Reddit’s insiders would “be able to sell stock immediately following the IPO.”Then, on March 25, Reddit Chief Financial Officer Andrew Vollero reportedly sold 71,765 shares of the company. That transaction was worth slightly more than $2.3 million.That same day, Reddit President and CEO Steve Huffman reportedly sold 500,000 shares of his company. Stunningly, that transaction was valued at over $16 million.I’ll let you draw whatever conclusions you’d like from this information. Personally, I imagine that confident Reddit insiders would be buyers, not sellers.Could RDDT Stock Drop 50%?For a while, investors shouldn’t expect Reddit’s fundamentals to drive movements in Reddit stock. In the short term, meme-stock traders might move the Reddit share price higher, while short sellers will push it down.Because of the anticipated near-term volatility, it’s difficult to attach a confident price target to RDDT stock.Some analysts have offered their opinions, though. For example, New Street analysts reportedly envision the Reddit share price landing at $54.A more notable prediction, however, came from Hedgeye Risk Management analysts.They see Reddit stock collapsing to $34, which was around 50% below the share price when the Hedgeye analysts issued their price target.The firm considered RDDT stock to be “grossly overvalued.” That may or may not be the case, though it’s challenging to assign a fair value to a highly volatile stock so soon after its public debut.Furthermore, Hedgeye analyst Andrew Freedman almost seemed disgusted by the early hype surrounding the Reddit IPO.“The deal was oversubscribed, the float small, valuation range looked reasonable, and they timed the IPO coincident with easy comparisons where the company is going to post accelerating revenue and user growth the first quarter out of the gate as a public company,” he wrote.You might agree with Freedman’s assessment, or you may choose to disagree. Either way, it will probably be a few weeks or even months before the market achieves “price discovery” and figures out an appropriate price range for Reddit stock.Reddit Stock: Stay Small, or Don’t Stay at AllThe Reddit share price could fall 50%, or it could double or triple.

In early August, the company is expected to report its Q2 earnings results, which would give investors a better understanding of whether this AI-related premium at which its shares currently trade is justified in the first place. Even though Palantir appears to be greatly overvalued right now, there are reasons to believe that the company&#39;s growth story is far from over and there&#39;s still some upside left.</p><h2 id=\"id_4148420583\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Is Generative AI The Next Big Thing?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Last month I published an extensive article on Palantir&#39;s work in Ukraine, explained how the company is able to test its software on an actual battlefield in real-time and also addressed some of the bearish points that were raised by a popular short-selling newsletter. While that article extensively covered various parts of Palantir&#39;s business, it didn&#39;t fully highlight how the company now has the potential to aggressively grow its sales and greatly improve its performance thanks to its entrance into the generative AI field a couple of months ago. Considering that Palantir&#39;s stock has been able to skyrocket in the last few weeks and reach its 52-week highs mostly thanks to the market&#39;s obsession with AI, I decided to share some of my thoughts on why shares have the potential to appreciate even further ahead of the release of Q2 earnings results in August.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the last few months, I have been incorporating various generative AI applications into my workflow, which were able to perform a range of mundane tasks and helped me to increase my productivity. By having a first-hand experience with generative AI, I concluded that it&#39;s not another fad like the metaverse and it actually has the potential to have a profound impact on our society. That&#39;s likely one of the main reasons why we begin to see reports which expect the generative AI field to become an over $1 trillion market in the next decade and grow at a CAGR of over 40%. Add to all of this the fact that Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (META), Amazon (AMZN), and even Elon Musk revealed their own generative AI products in the last few weeks and it becomes obvious that it&#39;s not another hype story. As Big Tech scales its presence in the field, so is Palantir with the introduction of AIP in April.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">From what we know so far, AIP promotes human-AI collaborations by helping organizations deploy large language models within their internal systems that could understand, recommend, and trigger different business processes and actions. Think of it as ChatGPT that&#39;s personalized for your own workflow and is working within your environment whether you&#39;re a commercial or a military client of Palantir. In May, the company&#39;s management revealed that they are seeing unprecedented demand for AIP while earlier this month Bloomberg reported that the US military has also started testing generative AI applications and also noted that Palantir is one of the companies that develops AI-based platforms for the Pentagon.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Considering this, there are reasons to believe that Palantir&#39;s stock still has more upside after the latest rally, but only the Q2 results and an updated outlook for the year will properly show how much of this unprecedented demand will translate into monetary value.</p><h2 id=\"id_3591571458\" style=\"text-align: left;\">What&#39;s Next?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We already see how other companies that became leaders of the generative AI field earlier this year have seen their estimates for the year greatly increase. Some analysts now believe that Microsoft (MSFT) would be able to generate an additional $20 billion in revenues thanks to the launch of a single generative AI feature for its core products, while others think that the company would even be able to double revenues for some of its flagship products in the following years. The street now also expects Nvidia (NVDA), which sells major GPUs on which generative AI applications run, to increase its EPS by ~138% Y/Y and grow its revenues by ~61% this fiscal year.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Despite this, most analysts still have no idea how big of an impact the AIP sales would have on Palantir&#39;s overall performance. To this day, the street expects the company&#39;s revenues to increase only by 15.9% Y/Y in FY23, which is in-line with the previous estimates before the generative AI applications truly took off and increased in popularity. Therefore, it seems that analysts expect further guidance from the management before deciding whether to revise their forecasts.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, if Goldman Sachs (GS) is correct in its forecast that generative AI could raise the global GDP by 7%, then it&#39;s a clear sign that the industry would continue to expand, and new applications would be entering the market en masse in the following quarters. Therefore, if generative AI truly becomes an over $1 trillion market in the next decade, then Palantir&#39;s TAM would also greatly increase and its current market capitalization of ~$35 billion could be more than justified.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">That&#39;s likely one of the reasons why Palantir&#39;s shares haven&#39;t depreciated after the latest rally while Seeking Alpha&#39;s Quant system even gave the company&#39;s stock a rating of &#39;Strong Buy&#39;. Add to all of this the fact that Wedbush recently decided to give Palantir a price target of $25 per share due to its competitive advantages in the coming AI revolution and we could conclude that the current AI premium at which its shares currently trade is more than justified.</p><h2 id=\"id_1028404791\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The Valuation Dilemma</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">At this stage, the only major risk associated with investing in Palantir is the lack of clear understanding about what is the true value of its business. My DCF model from May along with the street average forecasts that are based on previous assumptions show that Palantir&#39;s fair value is in the range of $9 per share to $12 per share, which is below the current market price of ~$18 per share. However, since the beginning of summer, the generative AI field has truly taken off, but the assumptions haven&#39;t been properly revised as Wall Street is not entirely sure how big of an impact AIP will have on Palantir&#39;s financials and its valuation.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Considering this, it all comes down to whether the management would be able to convince the street why this rally has more legs to justify the current valuation at the upcoming earnings call in early August. I remain optimistic as there&#39;s a clear indication that the generative AI field would continue to expand at an aggressive rate and have a profound impact on our society. This should lead to the aggressive expansion of Palantir&#39;s TAM in the following years since the company already has a scalable product in the generative AI field that has experienced unprecedented demand since its launch a few months ago. If that&#39;s the case, then an upward revision of assumptions in my model would follow and would result in a much higher valuation that more than justifies the current market price.</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>Palantir: Time To Double Down</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\">\nPalantir: Time To Double Down\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-07-31 08:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4621430-palantir-time-to-double-down><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPalantir is expected to reveal its Q2 earnings results in early August.After Palantir’s stock aggressively appreciated due to the AI-related rally, the management would now need to convince the...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4621430-palantir-time-to-double-down\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc.","BK4543":"AI","BK4547":"WSB热门概念","BK4585":"ETF&股票定投概念","BK4588":"碎股","BK4023":"应用软件"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4621430-palantir-time-to-double-down","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2355696432","content_text":"SummaryPalantir is expected to reveal its Q2 earnings results in early August.After Palantir’s stock aggressively appreciated due to the AI-related rally, the management would now need to convince the street why this rally has more legs to justify the current valuation.While there are some major risks associated with investing in the company’s stock at the current levels, there are reasons to believe that there’s still some upside left.Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images NewsAfter gaining momentum and later declining in price in the last couple of months due to the AI-related rally, Palantir's (NYSE:PLTR) stock is once again on a winning streak as it reached new 52-week highs just last week and currently trades close to those levels. In early August, the company is expected to report its Q2 earnings results, which would give investors a better understanding of whether this AI-related premium at which its shares currently trade is justified in the first place. Even though Palantir appears to be greatly overvalued right now, there are reasons to believe that the company's growth story is far from over and there's still some upside left.Is Generative AI The Next Big Thing?Last month I published an extensive article on Palantir's work in Ukraine, explained how the company is able to test its software on an actual battlefield in real-time and also addressed some of the bearish points that were raised by a popular short-selling newsletter. While that article extensively covered various parts of Palantir's business, it didn't fully highlight how the company now has the potential to aggressively grow its sales and greatly improve its performance thanks to its entrance into the generative AI field a couple of months ago. Considering that Palantir's stock has been able to skyrocket in the last few weeks and reach its 52-week highs mostly thanks to the market's obsession with AI, I decided to share some of my thoughts on why shares have the potential to appreciate even further ahead of the release of Q2 earnings results in August.In the last few months, I have been incorporating various generative AI applications into my workflow, which were able to perform a range of mundane tasks and helped me to increase my productivity. By having a first-hand experience with generative AI, I concluded that it's not another fad like the metaverse and it actually has the potential to have a profound impact on our society. That's likely one of the main reasons why we begin to see reports which expect the generative AI field to become an over $1 trillion market in the next decade and grow at a CAGR of over 40%. Add to all of this the fact that Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (META), Amazon (AMZN), and even Elon Musk revealed their own generative AI products in the last few weeks and it becomes obvious that it's not another hype story. As Big Tech scales its presence in the field, so is Palantir with the introduction of AIP in April.From what we know so far, AIP promotes human-AI collaborations by helping organizations deploy large language models within their internal systems that could understand, recommend, and trigger different business processes and actions. Think of it as ChatGPT that's personalized for your own workflow and is working within your environment whether you're a commercial or a military client of Palantir. In May, the company's management revealed that they are seeing unprecedented demand for AIP while earlier this month Bloomberg reported that the US military has also started testing generative AI applications and also noted that Palantir is one of the companies that develops AI-based platforms for the Pentagon.Considering this, there are reasons to believe that Palantir's stock still has more upside after the latest rally, but only the Q2 results and an updated outlook for the year will properly show how much of this unprecedented demand will translate into monetary value.What's Next?We already see how other companies that became leaders of the generative AI field earlier this year have seen their estimates for the year greatly increase. Some analysts now believe that Microsoft (MSFT) would be able to generate an additional $20 billion in revenues thanks to the launch of a single generative AI feature for its core products, while others think that the company would even be able to double revenues for some of its flagship products in the following years. The street now also expects Nvidia (NVDA), which sells major GPUs on which generative AI applications run, to increase its EPS by ~138% Y/Y and grow its revenues by ~61% this fiscal year.Despite this, most analysts still have no idea how big of an impact the AIP sales would have on Palantir's overall performance. To this day, the street expects the company's revenues to increase only by 15.9% Y/Y in FY23, which is in-line with the previous estimates before the generative AI applications truly took off and increased in popularity. Therefore, it seems that analysts expect further guidance from the management before deciding whether to revise their forecasts.However, if Goldman Sachs (GS) is correct in its forecast that generative AI could raise the global GDP by 7%, then it's a clear sign that the industry would continue to expand, and new applications would be entering the market en masse in the following quarters. Therefore, if generative AI truly becomes an over $1 trillion market in the next decade, then Palantir's TAM would also greatly increase and its current market capitalization of ~$35 billion could be more than justified.That's likely one of the reasons why Palantir's shares haven't depreciated after the latest rally while Seeking Alpha's Quant system even gave the company's stock a rating of 'Strong Buy'. Add to all of this the fact that Wedbush recently decided to give Palantir a price target of $25 per share due to its competitive advantages in the coming AI revolution and we could conclude that the current AI premium at which its shares currently trade is more than justified.The Valuation DilemmaAt this stage, the only major risk associated with investing in Palantir is the lack of clear understanding about what is the true value of its business. My DCF model from May along with the street average forecasts that are based on previous assumptions show that Palantir's fair value is in the range of $9 per share to $12 per share, which is below the current market price of ~$18 per share. However, since the beginning of summer, the generative AI field has truly taken off, but the assumptions haven't been properly revised as Wall Street is not entirely sure how big of an impact AIP will have on Palantir's financials and its valuation.Considering this, it all comes down to whether the management would be able to convince the street why this rally has more legs to justify the current valuation at the upcoming earnings call in early August. I remain optimistic as there's a clear indication that the generative AI field would continue to expand at an aggressive rate and have a profound impact on our society. This should lead to the aggressive expansion of Palantir's TAM in the following years since the company already has a scalable product in the generative AI field that has experienced unprecedented demand since its launch a few months ago. If that's the case, then an upward revision of assumptions in my model would follow and would result in a much higher valuation that more than justifies the current market price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":278,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":326016780091712,"gmtCreate":1720618026338,"gmtModify":1720619561622,"author":{"id":"4133159656893812","authorId":"4133159656893812","authorIdStr":"4133159656893812","name":"Smert","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/97ee415ffeb5ae3f83795c25e38d4b78","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4133159656893812"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"thanks. very comprehensive and easy to understand.","listText":"thanks. very comprehensive and easy to understand.","text":"thanks. very comprehensive and easy to understand.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/326016780091712","repostId":"2450836433","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2450836433","pubTimestamp":1720581548,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2450836433?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-07-10 11:19","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"BOIL: Wait To Play Winter Cooling Demand","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2450836433","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Justin Smith/iStock via Getty Images Trading natural gas is not or the faint of heart; there's a reason trading natural gas is often called a 'widow-maker' trade.

However, natural gas prices are also quite predictable in some ways as it is<span> mostly based on supply/demand factors and human behavior. In April, I </span>advised<span> investors that seasonality was favorable for trading short-term natural gas products like the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (</span><span>NYSEARCA:BOIL</span><span>) into June.</span></p> <p>Investors who followed my recommendation and bought the BOIL ETF on April 3rd (when my article was published) could have realized over 60% in total returns had they monetized at the peak in June (Figure 1).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/7/9/54854261-17205664445987675.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 1 - BOIL delivered over 60% in total returns from April to June <span>(Seeking Alpha)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>However, I also warned investors not to overstay their welcome, as the BOIL<span> ETF is not for buy-and-hold strategies. If investors had held onto the BOIL ETF from April 3rd to today, they would have experienced negative total returns of -9.1%.</span></p> <p>Unfortunately, a decline in value for the BOIL ETF is actually the norm due to the fund's amortizing structure.</p> <h2>Brief Fund Overview</h2> <p>For those who are new to my articles or the BOIL ETF story, the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF is a futures-based ETF that seeks to provide daily returns that are twice the return of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex (\"Index\"). The index reflects the daily performance of a rolling position in front-month natural gas futures. As front-month futures contracts expire, the index mechanically replaces them with futures contracts with a later expiration.</p> <p>Figure 2 shows the current holdings of the BOIL ETF, which consists of 200% exposure to September 2024 futures and cash (Figure 2).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/7/9/54854261-17205668245576441.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 2 - BOIL fund holdings <span>(proshares.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <h2>Not A Buy-And-Hold Fund</h2> <p>To reiterate my warning from the beginning of this article, the BOIL ETF is not suitable for long-term buy-and-hold investors. The main issue with the BOIL ETF (and other futures-based ETFs) is that future prices tend to be in contango, where prices farther out in maturity are more expensive (Figure 3).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.cmegroup.com/content/dam/cmegroup/education/courses/images/what-is-contango-and-backwardation-fig01.jpg\"/> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 3 - Ilustrative futures contango <span>(CME)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>So every time the near-month natural gas futures expire, the BOIL ETF must mechanically sell the expiring future at a lower price and buy a more expensive futures contract expiring at a later date as a replacement. This mechanical 'futures roll' process leads to the ETF suffering losses from 'roll decay' over time.</p> <p>A second issue with the BOIL ETF is the fact that it is leveraged. Levered ETFs have <em>'positive convexity'</em> in the direction of their exposure and <em>'volatility decay'</em> as they must rebalance their levered exposures every night.</p> <p>Using a mathematical example, assume an investor had invested $100 in BOIL. If the underlying index returns 5% on day 1, the position will grow to $110 (2 times 5% return). If the index returns -5% on day 2, the position will fall to $99, significantly less than twice the 2-day compounded loss of 0.25% or $99.50. This loss in value is called 'volatility decay'.</p> <p>Although 'volatility decay' is small on a day-to-day basis, for volatile assets like natural gas futures, the compounded slippage from volatility may be very significant.</p> <p>Traders considering the BOIL ETF should ensure they fully understand the tracking error risks involved with levered and futures-based commodity ETFs by consulting these FINRA and SEC warnings.</p> <h2>Natural Gas Seasonality Explained</h2> <p>For those new to natural gas trading, natural gas spot prices exhibit strong seasonality because the fuel is not as transportable as crude oil, and the demand for natural gas is driven by speculation around the summer cooling season and the winter heating season (Figure 4).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2023/8/11/54854261-16917588919216738_origin.png\"/> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 4 - Natural gas exhibits strong seasonality <span>(equityclock.com)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>In a typical year, speculators start to bet on summer cooling demand around March/April, and the speculative frenzy reaches a peak in June, just as actual cooling demand is realized.</p> <p>Then during the summer months of June and July, even though the weather may be very hot, spot natural gas prices tend to decline as reality is often not as bad as feared.</p> <p>A similar process begins in August as natural gas traders begin to speculate about winter heating demand. Winter speculation reaches a peak in late November/early December, and declines as actual heating demand is realized in January/February.</p> <p>While no two seasons are the precisely same, the general seasonality for natural gas prices is very pronounced and has rewarded me handsomely over the years.</p> <h2>Natural Gas Storage Pressuring Spot Prices</h2> <p>For now, I expect natural gas prices to remain soft for the next several weeks, as gas in storage has remained above the 5-year average due to strong production (Figure 5).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/7/9/54854261-1720567822505246.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 5 - Natural gas in storage above seasonal levels <span>(EIA)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>For investors looking to take a long swing trade on the BOIL ETF or other related products like the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG), I recommend they be patient and reassess the gas markets in August/September, to see how much gas has been drawn to fuel the summer cooling season and the prospects for the upcoming winter heating season.</p> <h2>Watch For Signs Of La Niña In Coming Months</h2> <p>For natural gas speculators, the wild cards disrupting seasonality patterns may be climate change and El Niño/La Niña effects. For those not familiar, El Niño and La Niña are climate patterns in the Pacific <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/1B6.SI\">Ocean</a> that can affect weather patterns worldwide.</p> <p>El Niño tends to cause dryer and hotter weather across the U.S. and Canada (Figure 6).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/7/9/saupload_elnino.jpg\"/> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 6 - El Nino weather patterns <span>(NOAA)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>In contrast, La Niña brings colder and wetter weather to North America (Figure 7).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/7/9/saupload_lanina.jpg\"/> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 7 - La Nina weather patterns <span>(NOAA)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Last year's El Niño was one of the reasons why the North American winter we experienced in 2023/2024 was one of the mildest on record. However, El Niño conditions recently ended with sea temperatures returning to normal (Figure 8).</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/7/9/54854261-17205686942679386.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p>Figure 8 - Sea temperatures are back to normal <span>(NOAA)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Looking forward, according to the NOAA, there is a 65% chance that La Niña conditions may develop in the next few months. So investors looking to bet on a colder/wetter than normal winter season requiring more heating may want to keep a close eye on upcoming NOAA reports.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>The bullish case for the BOIL ETF recently ended in June, as positive seasonality and El Niño conditions both concluded.

However, natural gas prices are also quite predictable in some ways as it is mostly based on supply/demand factors and human behavior. In April, I advised investors that seasonality was favorable for trading short-term natural gas products like the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (NYSEARCA:BOIL) into June. Investors who followed my recommendation and bought the BOIL ETF on April 3rd (when my article was published) could have realized over 60% in total returns had they monetized at the peak in June (Figure 1).   Figure 1 - BOIL delivered over 60% in total returns from April to June (Seeking Alpha) However, I also warned investors not to overstay their welcome, as the BOIL ETF is not for buy-and-hold strategies. If investors had held onto the BOIL ETF from April 3rd to today, they would have experienced negative total returns of -9.1%. Unfortunately, a decline in value for the BOIL ETF is actually the norm due to the fund's amortizing structure. Brief Fund Overview For those who are new to my articles or the BOIL ETF story, the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF is a futures-based ETF that seeks to provide daily returns that are twice the return of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex (\"Index\"). The index reflects the daily performance of a rolling position in front-month natural gas futures. As front-month futures contracts expire, the index mechanically replaces them with futures contracts with a later expiration. Figure 2 shows the current holdings of the BOIL ETF, which consists of 200% exposure to September 2024 futures and cash (Figure 2).   Figure 2 - BOIL fund holdings (proshares.com) Not A Buy-And-Hold Fund To reiterate my warning from the beginning of this article, the BOIL ETF is not suitable for long-term buy-and-hold investors. The main issue with the BOIL ETF (and other futures-based ETFs) is that future prices tend to be in contango, where prices farther out in maturity are more expensive (Figure 3).   Figure 3 - Ilustrative futures contango (CME) So every time the near-month natural gas futures expire, the BOIL ETF must mechanically sell the expiring future at a lower price and buy a more expensive futures contract expiring at a later date as a replacement. This mechanical 'futures roll' process leads to the ETF suffering losses from 'roll decay' over time. A second issue with the BOIL ETF is the fact that it is leveraged. Levered ETFs have 'positive convexity' in the direction of their exposure and 'volatility decay' as they must rebalance their levered exposures every night. Using a mathematical example, assume an investor had invested $100 in BOIL. If the underlying index returns 5% on day 1, the position will grow to $110 (2 times 5% return). If the index returns -5% on day 2, the position will fall to $99, significantly less than twice the 2-day compounded loss of 0.25% or $99.50. This loss in value is called 'volatility decay'. Although 'volatility decay' is small on a day-to-day basis, for volatile assets like natural gas futures, the compounded slippage from volatility may be very significant. Traders considering the BOIL ETF should ensure they fully understand the tracking error risks involved with levered and futures-based commodity ETFs by consulting these FINRA and SEC warnings. Natural Gas Seasonality Explained For those new to natural gas trading, natural gas spot prices exhibit strong seasonality because the fuel is not as transportable as crude oil, and the demand for natural gas is driven by speculation around the summer cooling season and the winter heating season (Figure 4).   Figure 4 - Natural gas exhibits strong seasonality (equityclock.com) In a typical year, speculators start to bet on summer cooling demand around March/April, and the speculative frenzy reaches a peak in June, just as actual cooling demand is realized. Then during the summer months of June and July, even though the weather may be very hot, spot natural gas prices tend to decline as reality is often not as bad as feared. A similar process begins in August as natural gas traders begin to speculate about winter heating demand. Winter speculation reaches a peak in late November/early December, and declines as actual heating demand is realized in January/February. While no two seasons are the precisely same, the general seasonality for natural gas prices is very pronounced and has rewarded me handsomely over the years. Natural Gas Storage Pressuring Spot Prices For now, I expect natural gas prices to remain soft for the next several weeks, as gas in storage has remained above the 5-year average due to strong production (Figure 5).   Figure 5 - Natural gas in storage above seasonal levels (EIA) For investors looking to take a long swing trade on the BOIL ETF or other related products like the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG), I recommend they be patient and reassess the gas markets in August/September, to see how much gas has been drawn to fuel the summer cooling season and the prospects for the upcoming winter heating season. Watch For Signs Of La Niña In Coming Months For natural gas speculators, the wild cards disrupting seasonality patterns may be climate change and El Niño/La Niña effects. For those not familiar, El Niño and La Niña are climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean that can affect weather patterns worldwide. El Niño tends to cause dryer and hotter weather across the U.S. and Canada (Figure 6).   Figure 6 - El Nino weather patterns (NOAA) In contrast, La Niña brings colder and wetter weather to North America (Figure 7).   Figure 7 - La Nina weather patterns (NOAA) Last year's El Niño was one of the reasons why the North American winter we experienced in 2023/2024 was one of the mildest on record. However, El Niño conditions recently ended with sea temperatures returning to normal (Figure 8).   Figure 8 - Sea temperatures are back to normal (NOAA) Looking forward, according to the NOAA, there is a 65% chance that La Niña conditions may develop in the next few months. So investors looking to bet on a colder/wetter than normal winter season requiring more heating may want to keep a close eye on upcoming NOAA reports. Conclusion The bullish case for the BOIL ETF recently ended in June, as positive seasonality and El Niño conditions both concluded. Looking forward, I believe bullish investors need to be patient and wait for winter fuel demand speculation to start in late August/September before making another bet on BOIL.  This upcoming winter season could be fruitful, as there is currently a 65% chance of La Niña conditions developing for the upcoming winter season. Typically, La Niña winters are colder and wetter than normal, which could increase fuel demand. I rate BOIL a hold and will reassess in a few months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":128,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
