Failing to act before Treasury&#39;s new June 1 date could force the United States into an unprecedented default on some bills.</p><p>Biden has steadfastly said he will not negotiate over the debt ceiling increase, but will discuss budget cuts after a new limit is passed. Congress has often paired debt-ceiling increases with other budget and spending measures.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The new potential &#34;X-date,&#34; which takes in to account April tax receipts, is largely unchanged from a previous estimate, issued in January, that the government could run short of cash around June 5. But Yellen also added some wiggle room.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;Federal receipts and outlays are inherently variable, and the actual date that Treasury exhausts extraordinary measures could be a number of weeks later than these estimates,&#34; she wrote to lawmakers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">&#34;It is impossible to predict with certainty the exact date when Treasury will be unable to pay the government&#39;s bills, and I will continue to update Congress in the coming weeks as more information becomes available,&#34; she wrote, urging Congress to act quickly to raise the limit.</p><p>After hitting the $31.4 trillion borrowing cap on Jan. 19, Yellen previously told Congress that Treasury would keep up payments on debt, federal benefits and make other spending by using extraordinary cash management measures. One such step Treasury is taking is suspending the sales of securities that state and local governments use to temporarily hold cash.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In 2011, a similar debt ceiling fight took the country to the brink of default and prompted a downgrade of the country&#39;s top-notch credit rating. This time, negotiations may be even more difficult, veterans of 2011&#39;s face-off say.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">SPENDING CUT DEMANDS</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Republican-led House of Representatives passed a bill on April 26 that would raise the debt ceiling in exchange for deep cuts to healthcare for the poor and other budget cuts that the Department of Transportation says would shut hundreds of air traffic control towers. The bill also would slash tax incentives for solar and other climate-friendly energy sources.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Republican bill would implement $4.5 trillion in spending cuts - or about 22% - in exchange for a $1.5 trillion increase in the U.S. debt limit. It has no chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate and the White House has said Biden would veto the legislation.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Budget analyst Shai Akabas at the Bipartisan Policy Center said the short deadline underscored the urgency of finding a solution to the bitter partisan standoff, and that it dashed hopes that the Congress could negotiate through the late summer months.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A potential default within weeks &#34;is not a position befitting of a country considered the bedrock of the financial system, and only adds uncertainty to an already shaky economy,&#34; he added.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">BREATHING ROOM</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Yellen&#39;s vagueness on the actual default date is due to some fiscal events in June that could buy some breathing room.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">If Treasury can make it past early June benefit payments, it could take in significant cash from quarterly estimated tax payments due on June 15, analysts say. Then Treasury could float until June 30, when it would be able to tap $143 billion in borrowing by suspending reinvestment of maturing securities held by the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund and the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefit Fund.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Along with tax receipts, that borrowing would allow it to pay bills well into July.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Nonetheless, the U.S.&#39;s debt ceiling battles are likely to persist for years to come, with benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare accounting for the largest category of the budget and projected to grow dramatically as the population ages.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">As the current debate heats up, Biden and his administration are using the proposal from McCarthy to tag Republicans as an economic threat, sending cabinet officials and senior advisers on a media tour to talk about local impacts.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Members looking for an ad-free option will have to pay an extra $2.99 per month. Most of the streaming players including Netflix (NFLX) and Disney (DIS) have also hiked their subscription plans. This initiative by Amazon should help the company increase its subscription revenue and improve its advertising revenue growth rate. There has also been some progress in AWS and we could see improvement in its growth trajectory as the macroeconomic situation improves and new AI tools are launched.</p><p>We should see a significant uptick in the churn rate of other streaming services as the customers start to feel the pinch due to recent price hikes. It is highly likely that the average number of streaming services used by customers will decrease as they try to limit the expense of different memberships. Amazon is in a strong position due to the high renewal rate of its Prime membership. The company spent $16.6 billion on video streaming in 2022, up from $13 billion in 2021. Amazon&#39;s ad-supported streaming initiative should help further increase the streaming budget. We could see Amazon crowd out other streaming players with higher churn rates over the next few years. This initiative by Amazon is a major warning to the competition and we should see significant changes in the streaming industry.</p><p>The growth in subscription business and video streaming improves the bullish case for the stock. Even at a modest 15% YoY revenue growth rate, the subscription segment should hit $100 billion in annualized revenue by 2030. This will improve the long-term moat for the products and services offered by the company. Currently, the stock is trading at a PS ratio of less than 2.5 which is lower than the historical average of the past 10 years. There is a strong upside potential for Amazon as the revenue share of subscription and advertising segment increases in the next few years.</p><h2 id=\"id_3342515379\">Solving two problems at one time</h2><p>The recent ad-supported Prime Video streaming initiative should help Amazon improve the growth trajectory of subscription and advertising segment. Amazon has a Prime member base of over 200 million. Even if 50% of these members opt for the ad-free option of paying an extra $2.99 per month, it would add close to $4 billion in annual revenue for the subscription segment. This is more than 10% of the current revenue rate of the subscription segment. We could also see future price hikes in Prime Video which will improve the growth trajectory for the subscription business.</p><p>The annualized revenue rate of subscription services and advertising segment is close to $40 billion each. Over the last few quarters, the subscription segment has reported an average YoY revenue growth rate of 15% while the advertising segment has reported revenue growth rate of 25%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3c0da885893e8891e181e5ab746fa004\" alt=\"Figure 1: Revenue and YoY growth rate of subscription and advertising segment in last few quarters.

Source: Amazon Filings\" tg-width=\"862\" tg-height=\"264\"/><span>Figure 1: Revenue and YoY growth rate of subscription and advertising segment in last few quarters. Source: Amazon Filings</span></p><p>If Amazon can deliver an average growth rate of 15% in subscription business, the annualized revenue rate could reach $100 billion by 2030. This should also help the company invest a higher amount in the streaming service and gain an edge over the competition.</p><h2 id=\"id_3134088652\">Crowding out the competition</h2><p>In 2022, Amazon spent $16.6 billion on its streaming service. The total subscription revenue in 2022 was $35 billion. Hence, Amazon spent more than 45% of its subscription revenue on its streaming platform. As mentioned above, we could see the annualized subscription revenue rate of Amazon reach $100 billion by 2030. If the company spends 40% of this on streaming, the streaming budget can reach $40 billion by the end of the decade. This would likely be the highest streaming budget among all the players in this industry.</p><p>At the same time, Amazon’s Prime membership has a very loyal base and the renewal rate is over 95% for long-term members. A small price hike is unlikely to cause an increase in churn rate for Prime membership.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68f84d40460a40c28bad4b7ec2abd14b\" alt=\"Figure 2: Retention rate of Prime membership. Source: Statista\" title=\"Figure 2: Retention rate of Prime membership. Source: Statista\" tg-width=\"795\" tg-height=\"482\"/><span>Figure 2: Retention rate of Prime membership. Source: Statista</span></p><p>On the other hand, the churn rate of other streaming players is very high. According to Antenna, the monthly churn rate of some streaming players like Apple TV+ (AAPL) is more than the annual churn of long-term Prime members.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d807b02147b81cc0cfe48bbf53fb843e\" alt=\"Figure 3: Monthly churn rate of top streaming players. Source: Antenna\" title=\"Figure 3: Monthly churn rate of top streaming players. Source: Antenna\" tg-width=\"1034\" tg-height=\"517\"/><span>Figure 3: Monthly churn rate of top streaming players. Source: Antenna</span></p><p>Many users binge-watch popular shows on their streaming service and then cancel their membership. This leads to a higher churn rate. It also forces the streaming service to invest heavily in order to produce more original programming to retain customers. The recent price hikes will increase this trend as the customers will be more careful about the streaming service they keep for the long term.</p><p>Amazon has a massive advantage due to the ecosystem of Prime membership. This allows the company to add new services and it does not have to spend heavily on customer acquisition.</p><h2 id=\"id_658682037\">Increase in advertising revenue</h2><p>Many members would opt for the free ad-supported streaming option on Prime Video. This should improve the advertising growth rate for Amazon. Over the past few years, Amazon has been able to break the duopoly of Meta (META) and Google (GOOG) in digital advertising. Amazon has an annualized revenue rate of $40 billion in the advertising segment with an average YoY revenue rate of 25%. It has a very good ad-targeting system due to its ecommerce platform. Most of the customers using Amazon have a very high intention to buy compared to other platforms like Meta, Google, or TikTok. This allows advertisers to gain a good return on investment for their ad placements.</p><p>It is likely that Amazon could build a very strong advertising platform on Prime Video. It should be noted that other major platforms like YouTube also receive a bulk of their revenue from advertising instead of the paid ad-free subscription option. For the past few quarters, Amazon has reported YoY revenue growth in advertising segment between 20% to 30%. The Prime Video ads should be a long-term tailwind for the total advertising growth, and we should see an uptick in the growth trajectory over the next few quarters.</p><h2 id=\"id_1542613388\">Impact on stock price</h2><p>In the recent quarter, Amazon reported a revenue base of $134 billion. The cumulative quarterly revenue of subscription and advertising segment was $20 billion. Hence, the revenue share of these two segments was 15%. The YoY revenue growth of both these segments is higher than other segments. This should lead to further increase in the revenue share of these two segments. We could see the revenue share of advertising and subscription business increase to over 25% by 2030 which should positively impact the valuation multiple of the stock.</p><p>Amazon is currently trading at less than 2.5 times its PS ratio. This is significantly lower than the 10-year average.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc19c3fae8aa3178a0d3d3b5376bfb1d\" alt=\"Figure 4: PS ratio of Amazon in the last few years. Source: Ycharts\" title=\"Figure 4: PS ratio of Amazon in the last few years. Source: Ycharts\" tg-width=\"978\" tg-height=\"444\"/><span>Figure 4: PS ratio of Amazon in the last few years. Source: Ycharts</span></p><p>Amazon’s overall revenue growth has slowed down and it is likely that future growth rate will be modest due to the large revenue base. However, we could see strong YoY revenue growth in key segments like subscription and advertising. Even AWS should see some acceleration in growth as macroeconomic conditions improve and new AI tools are launched by the cloud service.</p><h2 id=\"id_764383906\">Investor Takeaway</h2><p>Amazon is going to launch ads on Prime Video and members who wish to have an ad-free option will have to pay an additional $2.99 per month. This is a good initiative from Amazon as all other streaming players are also increasing their prices. The company should see an uptick in the subscription and advertising revenue. This initiative is unlikely to cause an increase in churn rate for Prime membership as the overall ecosystem is quite strong.</p><p>Even at a modest 15% YoY revenue growth, the subscription segment could see its annualized revenue rate reach $100 billion by 2030. A higher subscription revenue will allow Amazon to increase investment in streaming, and it can also crowd out other competitors which have a higher churn rate and lower streaming budget. This initiative is a big positive for the stock. Amazon stock is trading at a reasonable level compared to its historical average, and we could see good upside potential if the new initiatives are successful.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Members looking for an ad-free option will have to pay an extra $2.99 per month. Most of the streaming players including Netflix (NFLX) and Disney (DIS) have also hiked their subscription plans. This initiative by Amazon should help the company increase its subscription revenue and improve its advertising revenue growth rate. There has also been some progress in AWS and we could see improvement in its growth trajectory as the macroeconomic situation improves and new AI tools are launched.We should see a significant uptick in the churn rate of other streaming services as the customers start to feel the pinch due to recent price hikes. It is highly likely that the average number of streaming services used by customers will decrease as they try to limit the expense of different memberships. Amazon is in a strong position due to the high renewal rate of its Prime membership. The company spent $16.6 billion on video streaming in 2022, up from $13 billion in 2021. Amazon's ad-supported streaming initiative should help further increase the streaming budget. We could see Amazon crowd out other streaming players with higher churn rates over the next few years. This initiative by Amazon is a major warning to the competition and we should see significant changes in the streaming industry.The growth in subscription business and video streaming improves the bullish case for the stock. Even at a modest 15% YoY revenue growth rate, the subscription segment should hit $100 billion in annualized revenue by 2030. This will improve the long-term moat for the products and services offered by the company. Currently, the stock is trading at a PS ratio of less than 2.5 which is lower than the historical average of the past 10 years. There is a strong upside potential for Amazon as the revenue share of subscription and advertising segment increases in the next few years.Solving two problems at one timeThe recent ad-supported Prime Video streaming initiative should help Amazon improve the growth trajectory of subscription and advertising segment. Amazon has a Prime member base of over 200 million. Even if 50% of these members opt for the ad-free option of paying an extra $2.99 per month, it would add close to $4 billion in annual revenue for the subscription segment. This is more than 10% of the current revenue rate of the subscription segment. We could also see future price hikes in Prime Video which will improve the growth trajectory for the subscription business.The annualized revenue rate of subscription services and advertising segment is close to $40 billion each. Over the last few quarters, the subscription segment has reported an average YoY revenue growth rate of 15% while the advertising segment has reported revenue growth rate of 25%.Figure 1: Revenue and YoY growth rate of subscription and advertising segment in last few quarters. Source: Amazon FilingsIf Amazon can deliver an average growth rate of 15% in subscription business, the annualized revenue rate could reach $100 billion by 2030. This should also help the company invest a higher amount in the streaming service and gain an edge over the competition.Crowding out the competitionIn 2022, Amazon spent $16.6 billion on its streaming service. The total subscription revenue in 2022 was $35 billion. Hence, Amazon spent more than 45% of its subscription revenue on its streaming platform. As mentioned above, we could see the annualized subscription revenue rate of Amazon reach $100 billion by 2030. If the company spends 40% of this on streaming, the streaming budget can reach $40 billion by the end of the decade. This would likely be the highest streaming budget among all the players in this industry.At the same time, Amazon’s Prime membership has a very loyal base and the renewal rate is over 95% for long-term members. A small price hike is unlikely to cause an increase in churn rate for Prime membership.Figure 2: Retention rate of Prime membership. Source: StatistaOn the other hand, the churn rate of other streaming players is very high. According to Antenna, the monthly churn rate of some streaming players like Apple TV+ (AAPL) is more than the annual churn of long-term Prime members.Figure 3: Monthly churn rate of top streaming players. Source: AntennaMany users binge-watch popular shows on their streaming service and then cancel their membership. This leads to a higher churn rate. It also forces the streaming service to invest heavily in order to produce more original programming to retain customers. The recent price hikes will increase this trend as the customers will be more careful about the streaming service they keep for the long term.Amazon has a massive advantage due to the ecosystem of Prime membership. This allows the company to add new services and it does not have to spend heavily on customer acquisition.Increase in advertising revenueMany members would opt for the free ad-supported streaming option on Prime Video. This should improve the advertising growth rate for Amazon. Over the past few years, Amazon has been able to break the duopoly of Meta (META) and Google (GOOG) in digital advertising. Amazon has an annualized revenue rate of $40 billion in the advertising segment with an average YoY revenue rate of 25%. It has a very good ad-targeting system due to its ecommerce platform. Most of the customers using Amazon have a very high intention to buy compared to other platforms like Meta, Google, or TikTok. This allows advertisers to gain a good return on investment for their ad placements.It is likely that Amazon could build a very strong advertising platform on Prime Video. It should be noted that other major platforms like YouTube also receive a bulk of their revenue from advertising instead of the paid ad-free subscription option. For the past few quarters, Amazon has reported YoY revenue growth in advertising segment between 20% to 30%. The Prime Video ads should be a long-term tailwind for the total advertising growth, and we should see an uptick in the growth trajectory over the next few quarters.Impact on stock priceIn the recent quarter, Amazon reported a revenue base of $134 billion. The cumulative quarterly revenue of subscription and advertising segment was $20 billion. Hence, the revenue share of these two segments was 15%. The YoY revenue growth of both these segments is higher than other segments. This should lead to further increase in the revenue share of these two segments. We could see the revenue share of advertising and subscription business increase to over 25% by 2030 which should positively impact the valuation multiple of the stock.Amazon is currently trading at less than 2.5 times its PS ratio. This is significantly lower than the 10-year average.Figure 4: PS ratio of Amazon in the last few years. Source: YchartsAmazon’s overall revenue growth has slowed down and it is likely that future growth rate will be modest due to the large revenue base. However, we could see strong YoY revenue growth in key segments like subscription and advertising. Even AWS should see some acceleration in growth as macroeconomic conditions improve and new AI tools are launched by the cloud service.Investor TakeawayAmazon is going to launch ads on Prime Video and members who wish to have an ad-free option will have to pay an additional $2.99 per month. This is a good initiative from Amazon as all other streaming players are also increasing their prices. The company should see an uptick in the subscription and advertising revenue. This initiative is unlikely to cause an increase in churn rate for Prime membership as the overall ecosystem is quite strong.Even at a modest 15% YoY revenue growth, the subscription segment could see its annualized revenue rate reach $100 billion by 2030. A higher subscription revenue will allow Amazon to increase investment in streaming, and it can also crowd out other competitors which have a higher churn rate and lower streaming budget. This initiative is a big positive for the stock. Amazon stock is trading at a reasonable level compared to its historical average, and we could see good upside potential if the new initiatives are successful.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":541,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970550147,"gmtCreate":1684742870490,"gmtModify":1684745279502,"author":{"id":"4141009678076792","authorId":"4141009678076792","name":"Goldenrod","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b6ca965cccbe64967f38e5cf900f8446","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4141009678076792","idStr":"4141009678076792"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting that Monsish reduced his Micron&nbsp;exposure in his last F13 filing&nbsp;","listText":"Interesting that Monsish reduced his Micron&nbsp;exposure in his last F13 filing&nbsp;","text":"Interesting that Monsish reduced his Micron exposure in his last F13 filing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9970550147","repostId":"1105028746","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":256,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970309882,"gmtCreate":1683875560946,"gmtModify":1683882588210,"author":{"id":"4141009678076792","authorId":"4141009678076792","name":"Goldenrod","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b6ca965cccbe64967f38e5cf900f8446","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4141009678076792","idStr":"4141009678076792"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Not sure Apple is fair value currently and suspect the Sage is not buying at current prices, needs to drop to $120 and lower ratio&nbsp;price to &nbsp;free cash flow multiple to excite me&nbsp;","listText":"Not sure Apple is fair value currently and suspect the Sage is not buying at current prices, needs to drop to $120 and lower ratio&nbsp;price to &nbsp;free cash flow multiple to excite me&nbsp;","text":"Not sure Apple is fair value currently and suspect the Sage is not buying at current prices, needs to drop to $120 and lower ratio price to free cash flow multiple to excite me","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9970309882","repostId":"2334705819","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2334705819","pubTimestamp":1683872601,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2334705819?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-05-12 14:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in May","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2334705819","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These two Berkshire Hathaway holdings are solid picks in May.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li><p>Warren Buffett is a defensive investor at heart.</p></li><li><p>As a result, the Oracle of Omaha places a premium on the sustainability of a company&#39;s profits over long periods of time.</p></li><li><p>Apple and Johnson &amp; Johnson both check this all-important box.</p></li></ul><p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett is a lodestar for many investors, and for good reason. His stock-picking acumen has yielded astounding returns on capital for Berkshire shareholders over the years.</p><p>Which Warren Buffett stocks are worth buying in May? Although the Oracle of Omaha has become decidedly more cautious when it comes to U.S. stocks in recent times, Berkshire&#39;s portfolio still contains a handful of outstanding buys for patient investors. Here are two holdings that ought to deliver above-market returns for those with a long-term mindset. </p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a></h2><p>Apple (AAPL) has built a thriving business with a wide economic moat thanks to its user-friendly Mac and iPhone. These intuitive interfaces seamlessly integrate a diverse array of apps, drastically cut down on conflicts between apps, and most importantly are the basis for the company&#39;s reputation for products that &#34;just work&#34; right out of the box.</p><p>The sleek design of the iPhone, which raked in an eye-popping $51.3 billion in sales in the most recent quarter, is also a crucial component in its wide competitive moat. Namely, the tech giant&#39;s flagship product has become a cultural icon. An iPhone has become a sign of personal financial success in many countries, as well as a must-have fashion accessory.</p><p>As a direct result, Apple has been able to rapidly capture market share in key emerging nations like India in recent quarters, despite fierce competition from lower priced alternatives. </p><p>Apple&#39;s well-earned reputation for making easy-to-use products that are both reliable and stylish is the core reasons Buffett views the company as one of the best businesses in Berkshire&#39;s diverse portfolio. What it all boils down to is this: The company&#39;s core enormous earnings power ought to remain intact for the foreseeable future due to its lack of viable competition and beloved status among users.</p><p>So, even though Apple&#39;s stock does have a moderately low earnings yield of 3.77%, its proven ability to fend off competition is arguably worth the price of admission.  </p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">Johnson &amp; Johnson</a></h2><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ) has been among Berkshire&#39;s few long-term holdings in healthcare for a couple of solid reasons.

His stock-picking acumen has yielded astounding returns on capital for Berkshire shareholders over the years.Which Warren Buffett stocks are worth buying in May? Although the Oracle of Omaha has become decidedly more cautious when it comes to U.S. stocks in recent times, Berkshire's portfolio still contains a handful of outstanding buys for patient investors. Here are two holdings that ought to deliver above-market returns for those with a long-term mindset. 1. AppleApple (AAPL) has built a thriving business with a wide economic moat thanks to its user-friendly Mac and iPhone. These intuitive interfaces seamlessly integrate a diverse array of apps, drastically cut down on conflicts between apps, and most importantly are the basis for the company's reputation for products that \"just work\" right out of the box.The sleek design of the iPhone, which raked in an eye-popping $51.3 billion in sales in the most recent quarter, is also a crucial component in its wide competitive moat. Namely, the tech giant's flagship product has become a cultural icon. An iPhone has become a sign of personal financial success in many countries, as well as a must-have fashion accessory.As a direct result, Apple has been able to rapidly capture market share in key emerging nations like India in recent quarters, despite fierce competition from lower priced alternatives. Apple's well-earned reputation for making easy-to-use products that are both reliable and stylish is the core reasons Buffett views the company as one of the best businesses in Berkshire's diverse portfolio. What it all boils down to is this: The company's core enormous earnings power ought to remain intact for the foreseeable future due to its lack of viable competition and beloved status among users.So, even though Apple's stock does have a moderately low earnings yield of 3.77%, its proven ability to fend off competition is arguably worth the price of admission.  2. Johnson & JohnsonJohnson & Johnson (JNJ) has been among Berkshire's few long-term holdings in healthcare for a couple of solid reasons. Despite the inherent disadvantage of operating in arenas like pharmaceuticals and medtech that are heavily dependent on time-limited patents to protect profits, J&J has been able to build a formidable economic moat, a AAA-rated balance sheet, a 61-year history of annual dividend increases, and a well-earned reputation for savvy capital allocation.As a recent example, J&J acquired Abiomed late last year in a move that significantly bolstered its cardiovascular medtech portfolio ahead of the spinoff of Kenvue. This latest medtech acquisition opens up another high-growth opportunity for the company in the years ahead.What's important to understand is that most mergers and acquisitions in healthcare actually turn out to be value sinks due to the high premiums involved, innate regulatory risks, and the ever-present threat of new competitors coming to market. J&J, by contrast, has repeatedly been able to avoid these pitfalls by hitting on winning companies like Abiomed that ultimately enhance its overall value proposition to shareholders. J&J's successful capital allocation strategy, heavy investment on internal pipeline development, and rich tradition of dividend increases have made its stock a tremendous investment for long-term stakeholders:As such, this Buffett stock is arguably worth buying in any type of market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947690420,"gmtCreate":1683017844760,"gmtModify":1683018856026,"author":{"id":"4141009678076792","authorId":"4141009678076792","name":"Goldenrod","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b6ca965cccbe64967f38e5cf900f8446","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4141009678076792","idStr":"4141009678076792"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi and in a few a Country or two always a good disracrion for the US&nbsp;","listText":"Hi and in a few a Country or two always a good disracrion for the US&nbsp;","text":"Hi and in a few a Country or two always a good disracrion for the US","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9947690420","repostId":"1152636605","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
