This growth was driven by aggressively opening new stores in China and internationally. Further, Miniso reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.9% for the quarter, which was higher by 200 basis points on a year-on-year basis.</p><p>With Miniso targeting to open 900 to 1,100 stores annually between 2024 and 2028, I expect robust growth to sustain.

Parameters determine a model’s complexity, with Phi-3 outperforming Phi-2, approaching responses of models 10 times its size.</p><p>Recent reports suggest that Phi-3 Mini could match the capabilities of larger models like GPT-3.5 over time, but using less resources. That’s the sort of story many investors can latch onto.</p><p>Small AI models are cost-effective and perform better on personal devices. Microsoft established a team for lightweight AI models and introduced Orca-Math for math problem-solving.</p><p>Now, competitors like Google with Gemma and Anthropic with Claude also offer small AI models for various tasks.</p><p>However, Microsoft could take the lead in this space over time, given the depth of its pockets and the AI talent it’s brought aboard in recent years.</p><h2 id=\"id_2496498801\">Q3 Earnings</h2><p>Microsoft’s fiscal third-quarter earnings were released on Thursday. And boy, did investors get what they wanted to see.</p><p>The company beat estimates on both the top and bottom-line, with significant growth seen in Microsoft’s cloud computing business. This growth was increasingly driven by Copilot and the overall Copilot stack, which CEO Satya Nadella referred to as integral to a “new era of AI transformation” at the company. The company estimates that its AI integrations led to 7% of contribution to Azure’s impressive results over the past quarter.</p><p>That’s impressive, and that’s the meaningful top and bottom-line impact investors want to see. Besides these strong backwards-looking numbers, the company released guidance that was ahead of expectations. So, overall, investors saw some very strong numbers for Microsoft this past quarter, and an equally strong outlook to latch onto.</p><h2 id=\"id_1602304316\">Partnerships Here and There</h2><p>Microsoft significantly boosted its AI endeavors as <strong>Coca-Cola</strong> (NYSE:<strong>KO</strong>) signed a five-year, $1.1 billion deal to use Microsoft’s Azure cloud services and AI technology.</p><p>Microsoft’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Judson Althoff, highlighted the progress in accelerating AI transformation across Coca-Cola and its bottlers worldwide.</p><p>Moreover, Microsoft and Cognizant are teaming up to expand enterprise adoption of generative AI. Cognizant acquired 25,000 Microsoft 365 Copilot seats and 500 each of Sales Copilot and Services Copilot for its global associates.</p><p>This move aims to streamline workflows and enhance customer experiences. Additionally, the partnership will promote the use of generative AI across Cognizant’s client base through its advisory and digital transformation services.</p><p>Cognizant aims to roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot to one million users across its 2,000 global clients in 11 industries.</p><p>Their Synapse skilling program plans to train over one million individuals in AI skills by 2026. However, some CIOs are skeptical about the ROI of generative AI co-pilots due to high costs and workflow adjustments.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Microsoft Stock: Why This Magnificent 7 Baddie Is Leaving AMZN and GOOG in the Dust</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nMicrosoft Stock: Why This Magnificent 7 Baddie Is Leaving AMZN and GOOG in the Dust\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-04-29 22:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2024/04/microsoft-stock-why-this-magnificent-7-baddie-is-leaving-amzn-and-goog-in-the-dust/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) have outperformed the broader market, in large part due to the company’s AI integrations.Driving much of the company’s recent hype has been its integration of Phi-3 Mini, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2024/04/microsoft-stock-why-this-magnificent-7-baddie-is-leaving-amzn-and-goog-in-the-dust/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4579":"人工智能","LU0251142724.SGD":"Fidelity America A-SGD","LU0795875086.SGD":"JPMorgan Investment Funds -

Parameters determine a model’s complexity, with Phi-3 outperforming Phi-2, approaching responses of models 10 times its size.Recent reports suggest that Phi-3 Mini could match the capabilities of larger models like GPT-3.5 over time, but using less resources. That’s the sort of story many investors can latch onto.Small AI models are cost-effective and perform better on personal devices. Microsoft established a team for lightweight AI models and introduced Orca-Math for math problem-solving.Now, competitors like Google with Gemma and Anthropic with Claude also offer small AI models for various tasks.However, Microsoft could take the lead in this space over time, given the depth of its pockets and the AI talent it’s brought aboard in recent years.Q3 EarningsMicrosoft’s fiscal third-quarter earnings were released on Thursday. And boy, did investors get what they wanted to see.The company beat estimates on both the top and bottom-line, with significant growth seen in Microsoft’s cloud computing business. This growth was increasingly driven by Copilot and the overall Copilot stack, which CEO Satya Nadella referred to as integral to a “new era of AI transformation” at the company. The company estimates that its AI integrations led to 7% of contribution to Azure’s impressive results over the past quarter.That’s impressive, and that’s the meaningful top and bottom-line impact investors want to see. Besides these strong backwards-looking numbers, the company released guidance that was ahead of expectations. So, overall, investors saw some very strong numbers for Microsoft this past quarter, and an equally strong outlook to latch onto.Partnerships Here and ThereMicrosoft significantly boosted its AI endeavors as Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) signed a five-year, $1.1 billion deal to use Microsoft’s Azure cloud services and AI technology.Microsoft’s executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Judson Althoff, highlighted the progress in accelerating AI transformation across Coca-Cola and its bottlers worldwide.Moreover, Microsoft and Cognizant are teaming up to expand enterprise adoption of generative AI. Cognizant acquired 25,000 Microsoft 365 Copilot seats and 500 each of Sales Copilot and Services Copilot for its global associates.This move aims to streamline workflows and enhance customer experiences. Additionally, the partnership will promote the use of generative AI across Cognizant’s client base through its advisory and digital transformation services.Cognizant aims to roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot to one million users across its 2,000 global clients in 11 industries.Their Synapse skilling program plans to train over one million individuals in AI skills by 2026. However, some CIOs are skeptical about the ROI of generative AI co-pilots due to high costs and workflow adjustments.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":299991733006568,"gmtCreate":1714259678707,"gmtModify":1714259682392,"author":{"id":"4175936170600562","authorId":"4175936170600562","name":"CraftyCats1971","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/daf44ad58eed2c435108a00e7f29314f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4175936170600562","authorIdStr":"4175936170600562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What's the concensus","listText":"What's the concensus","text":"What's the concensus","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/299991733006568","repostId":"1157702609","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1157702609","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Everything can be ETF","home_visible":1,"media_name":"ETF Tracker","id":"1070810721","head_image":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/29067a19beca7bb0f3038d0bea28f179"},"pubTimestamp":1714225546,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1157702609?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-04-27 21:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla's Financial Report: Navigating Optimism and Growth Challenges, Where to Invest?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1157702609","media":"ETF Tracker","summary":"Many have described Tesla's latest financial report and conference call as \"Amazing words, horrible numbers.\"On Wednesday, Tesla's stock price surged by over 14%, marking its largest increase since 20","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Many have described Tesla&#39;s latest financial report and conference call as &#34;Amazing words, horrible numbers.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">On Wednesday, Tesla&#39;s stock price surged by over 14%, marking its largest increase since 2021.

The company stated that it would \"accelerate the launch of new models, earlier than the previously communicated plan to start production in the second half of 2025.\"The company stated, \"These new models, including more affordable models, will leverage aspects of the next-generation platform as well as our current platform and will be able to be produced on the same production line as our current models.\"This alleviated some investors' concerns about Tesla's lineup becoming outdated, while also opening up the possibility of accelerating growth next year.Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Tesla had abandoned plans to build a cheap mass-market car called the Model 2.Although Tesla did not specify if any of its new models would be equivalent to the Model 2, the fact that the company is introducing new models to the market is enough to pique investors' interest.Competition Is IncreasingHowever, not everyone believes in Tesla's rosy rhetoric.Analysts at Bernstein stated that they \"struggle to understand why Tesla needs a separate robo-taxi product.\" They added that they believe widespread deployment of Tesla's Cybercab \"is still 5 to 10 years away\" and that autonomous driving cars \"may not necessarily be a winner-takes-all market.\"Analysts at Bank of America hold the opposite view.Tesla addressed \"the main concerns of this quarter and revitalized the growth narrative,\" they said. \"In the short term, the tide of news flow seems to indicate that the risk of the stock is tilting more positively.\"Tesla's stock remains a battleground for competing narratives, at least for today, with the bulls winning.Focus ETFsDirexion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares (TSLL)The assets under management of Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares total $600 million. TSLL provides twice the leverage exposure to Tesla's stock price movements on a daily basis (net of fees and expenses). It charges an annual fee of 0.96%.TSLL is a short-term tactical tool designed to provide double the price return of Tesla's stock on a daily basis while reducing costs and expenses. Purchasers holding stocks for more than one day will need to monitor and rebalance their positions frequently to attempt to achieve the 2x multiple.Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY)XLY tracks the market value-weighted index of non-essential consumer goods stocks in the S&P 500 index. Tesla holds 53 securities in the basket, ranking second in assets at 15.7%. The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund is the largest and most popular product in the field, with assets under management totaling $19 billion. It charges an annual fee of 0.09%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":299737032781960,"gmtCreate":1714197409100,"gmtModify":1714197412866,"author":{"id":"4175936170600562","authorId":"4175936170600562","name":"CraftyCats1971","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/daf44ad58eed2c435108a00e7f29314f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4175936170600562","authorIdStr":"4175936170600562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Glad to be following these options.","listText":"Glad to be following these options.","text":"Glad to be following these options.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/299737032781960","repostId":"299456783233024","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":299456783233024,"gmtCreate":1714115322783,"gmtModify":1714119695592,"author":{"id":"4102740236684050","authorId":"4102740236684050","name":"MaverickWealthBuilder","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/bbf0f514b8e5abb92266789b89f6e1e6","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4102740236684050","authorIdStr":"4102740236684050"},"themes":[],"title":"BIG TECH WEEKLY | Why META down while GOOG up with same AI CapEx?","htmlText":"Big-Tech’s PerformanceRecent market volatility stems from two main factors:Tightening macro eviroment. inflationary pressures that have reduced expectations and pricing for interest rate cuts;Earnings season where U.S. companies are being scrutinized for their performance.

From a year ago, it advanced 2.8%.The overall PCE price measure also rose 0.3% from February and 2.7% from the prior year.Inflation-adjusted consumer spending climbed a larger-than-forecast 0.5%, the biggest gain this year.Faster inflation in the first quarter, combined with steady household spending, will likely persuade Fed policymakers to refrain from lowering interest rates — if at all — until later this year. Officials meeting next week are expected to hold borrowing costs at a two-decade high.“There’s both a story here about the economy holding up very well with high interest rates, as well as inflation pressures being persistent,” Bruce Kasman, chief economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., said on Bloomberg Television. “And while I don’t think it’s right to talk about this from the point of view of Fed tightening, I think the case for Fed easing here is pretty small any time soon.”Traders mostly reacted positively as investors took relief from in-line monthly inflation data after quarterly figures on Thursday suggested upside risk to March.Central bankers pay close attention to services inflation excluding housing and energy, which tends to be more sticky. That metric climbed 0.4% from February, an acceleration from the prior month, according to the BEA.A robust labor market is the main reason why households have yet to hit the brakes on spending in the face of high interest rates and elevated prices.Consumer SpendingInflation-adjusted outlays for merchandise increased 1.1% last month, reflecting a second-straight month of solid spending on durable goods. Services spending, meanwhile, edged up 0.2%.Demand for workers is still healthy, supporting wage growth. Overall incomes increased 0.5%, as wages and salaries rose 0.7% for a second month. That was the strongest back-to-back gain since the start of last year.The saving rate dropped to 3.2%, the lowest since October 2022.Looking ahead, central bankers are still hopeful they can bring inflation down to their 2% target without breaking the economy.A separate report out Thursday showed that slower economic growth in the first quarter masked resilient household demand and business spending.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":279,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":299353304301608,"gmtCreate":1714110428995,"gmtModify":1714115808962,"author":{"id":"4175936170600562","authorId":"4175936170600562","name":"CraftyCats1971","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/daf44ad58eed2c435108a00e7f29314f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4175936170600562","authorIdStr":"4175936170600562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Microsoft advantage, might be my advantage.

This is corroborated by its robust March quarter results and managements optimism on a solid outlook underpinned by continued capture of emerging artificial intelligence (&#34;AI&#34;) growth opportunities.</p><p>We believe AI continues to be an incrementally additive opportunity to Microsoft’s outlook. This is particularly due to its expansive business that spans across infrastructure, large language models (“LLM”s) and end-user software applications – namely, the three key segments of AI opportunities.</p><p>Looking ahead, Microsoft remains well-positioned for pent-up valuation gains as it continues to monetize on additive AI opportunities down the nascent technology’s value chain. Incrementally, we believe this also bodes favorably within a risk-off environment when paired with Microsoft’s robust balance sheet, which reinforces its haven characteristics.</p><h2 id=\"id_354123258\">AI Double-Dip in Inference and Software</h2><p>We believe Microsoft’s competitive advantage amid AI transformation lies not only in its prescient investment into OpenAI and other related technology developments, but also in its expansive addressable market that spans across infrastructure, LLMs and development tools, and end-user software applications. Specifically, Microsoft’s diversified revenue sources for capturing AI opportunities remain a key mitigating factor against concerns about eventual demand risks and preserves its long-term growth trajectory.</p><h4 id=\"id_822985143\"><em>Inferencing Opportunities</em></h4><p>As discussed in our previous coverage on the stock, Microsoft Azure remains a key beneficiary in the transition from training-dominant to inference-dominance workloads in the AI adoption cycle. And we continue to expect this trend to pick up in momentum heading into the second half of calendar 2024. This is also in line with management’s continued expectations for further momentum in commercial business growth through the back half of FY 2024 and beyond, particularly as AI service adoption scales up.</p><p>Specifically, inferencing is expected to become the key driver of AI workload volumes, as industries start to scale up usage of AI solutions adopted over the past year. Industry currently forecasts inferencing activity to represent &#34;2x the number of cycles and spend as training by mid-2025.&#34; And the forecast trends are consistent with the growing share of revenue attributable to AI inference, and the industry’s increasing focus on addressing inference needs, as cited by Microsoft and its AI peers. For instance, AI darling Nvidia (NVDA) has referred to “inference” capabilities in its newest products eight times during the latest GTC keynote, while drastically reducing mentions of “training” compared to recent presentations.</p><blockquote><p>We estimate in the past year approximately 40% of data center revenue was for AI inference…We are on track to ramp H200 with initial shipments in the second quarter. Demand is strong as H200 nearly doubles the inference performance of H100.</p><p><em>Source: Nvidia F4Q24 Earnings Call Transcript</em>.</p><p>As AI proliferates and the world moves towards more AI integrated application, there&#39;s a market shift toward local inferencing and smaller, more nimble models.</p><p><em>Source: Intel 4Q3 Earnings Call Transcript</em>.</p><p><strong>Mark Murphy</strong></p><p>Yeah. Thank you very much. Is it possible to unpack the 6 point AI services tailwind, it&#39;s just to help us understand which elements ramped up by the three incremental points.</p><p><strong>Amy Hood</strong></p><p>Mark, without getting into tons of line items, it&#39;s more simple to think of it as really, it&#39;s people adopting it for inferencing at the API generally…But this is primarily an inferencing workload right now in terms of what&#39;s driving that number.</p><p><em>Source: Microsoft F2Q24 Earnings Call Transcript</em>.</p></blockquote><p>Accelerating inferencing activity is also in line with the increasing migration of workloads to the cloud, which continues to benefit Azure. Specifically, we remain confident in Azure’s market share gain prospects not only because of its leading position as a primary cloud service provider, but also because of its diverse selection of instances to fit every performance and cost requirement from customers.</p><p>In addition to instances powered by third-party chips from Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), for instance, Microsoft has also started to ramp deployments powered by its internally developed Maia 100 accelerator introduced last quarter. The chip was designed for optimized performance and cost efficiency for the Azure hardware stack, and enables “huge gains in performance and efficiency” with Microsoft workloads – especially as inferencing activity picks up. This continues to be an important link in addressing increasingly structural optimization demands from customers, despite stabilizing headwinds.</p><p>The favorable prospects of Microsoft’s capture of additive inference workloads is further reinforced by stabilizing growth at Azure. Specifically, Azure revenues have grown 31% y/y during the fiscal third quarter, with AI services remaining a key driver.</p><p>Looking ahead, we believe Azure remains well-positioned to be a key beneficiary of AI-driven cloud total addressable market, or TAM, expansion. In addition to its diversified instances to serve wide-ranging customer needs, Microsoft is also continuing investments into expanding its capacity to address emerging AI opportunities. This includes its recent partnership with OpenAI to spend more than $100 billion on the development of the next-generation “Stargate” supercomputer, which is expected to come online “as soon as 2028.” This is in line with hefty multi-year investments recently earmarked by rivals Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) towards data centers and server infrastructure, underscoring industry expectations for resilient AI opportunities ahead.</p><h4 id=\"id_2038543034\"><em>Software Opportunities</em></h4><p>In addition to infrastructural opportunities, we also remain optimistic in Microsoft’s advantage in capitalizing on incremental AI opportunities across other key areas of the value chain – namely, end-use software applications. Specifically, as summarized by Amazon, emerging AI opportunities primarily span across three key layers – infrastructure, foundation models, and the application stack. And Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of emerging AI opportunities in the application stack as well, complementing its already-growing share gains in the infrastructure layer. Taken together, Microsoft’s leadership in software will be a key factor for extending its AI monetization trajectory over those observed at peers.</p><p>Specifically, Microsoft boasts a competitive advantage as the leading personal and enterprise software provider in the world, despite limited China market exposure. The continued integration of Copilot features remain key to expanding average revenue per user, or ARPU, from its massive installed base. And ARPU expansion remains a key growth driver for the company, given “continued moderation in seat growth rates given the size of [the Microsoft 365 Suite’s] installed base.”</p><p>And Microsoft continues to demonstrate strength on this front. Following the launch of its $30 per user per month Copilot add-on subscription for existing paid Microsoft 365 seats in late 2023, uptake of the new AI-enabled product remains strong. This continues to be supported by proven productivity gains from Copilot, with users citing 29% faster task completion times. With more than 400 million paid Office 365 seats, Microsoft remains well-positioned for further growth headroom for Copilot uptake.</p><p>At full penetration, the premium Copilot subscription at $30 per user per month would translate to about $144 billion in incremental revenue across 400 million existing Office 365 paid seats – and potentially more considering anticipated price increases in the long-run. And continued adoption is expected to gain further momentum with the influx of AI-enabled Windows PCs shipping later this year which will feature the new Copilot key, and complement the recent updates rolled out across the Windows 10 and Windows 11 installed base to incorporate Copilot features.</p><p>In addition to the Copilot add-on for Microsoft 365, Microsoft also charges between $10 (for individuals) and $39 (for enterprise) per month for GitHub Copilot – an AI-enabled coding tool for developers. To date, the company has acquired more than 1.3 million subscribers to the solution (Q3: +30% q/q). GitHub Copilot also remains the preferred AI-enabled coding tool among developers, likely due to its seamless integration with Microsoft’s productivity and cloud workloads in enterprise environments. This continues to highlight Microsoft’s competitive advantage in capturing opportunities arising from adoption momentum for low- and no-code development tools.</p><p>We believe Microsoft’s unmatched software leadership will be key to offsetting eventual headwinds when infrastructure-related AI demand normalizes. This is consistent with recent worries over the durability of the currently lofty semiconductor demand environment, which will potentially hit cloud service providers – another mission-critical backbone for AI-related developments – next.</p><h2 id=\"id_4192614241\">Other Considerations</h2><p>In addition to AI-related growth across its core Azure and software businesses, Microsoft is also well-positioned to benefit from the emerging PC recovery. Specifically, the emerging upgrade cycle of PCs bought during the pandemic era is expected to be reinforced by the advent of AI-enabled PCs and the Windows 11 refresh – two factors in which Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of.</p><p>In the first quarter, PC shipments grew by more than 3% y/y, gradually recovery from the trough observed in 2023. This is consistent with three consecutive quarters of Windows revenue growth observed in FY 2024, reversing persistent declines that have plagued the segment since late FY 2022. Specifically, F3Q24 Windows revenue grew 11% y/y, accelerating from 9% y/y in F2Q and 5% y/y in F1Q. As mentioned earlier, AI PC shipments are expected to gain momentum later this year, with industry forecasting up to 50 million units, or close to 20% of the total mix, by the end of the year. This should reinforce Windows OEM growth observed in recent quarters, and also potentially improve uptake of higher margin premium Microsoft devices ahead.</p><p>Microsoft also continues to exhibit key characteristics as a haven stock when markets turn risk-off. Given renewed geopolitical risks, in addition to increasingly structural expectations for a higher for longer interest rate environment, the set-up has increased investors’ angst. This is evident in the stock market selloff this month, with the biggest weekly drop observed in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 since November 2022 last week.</p><p>Although Microsoft has also sustained some losses in earlier April, its robust results and outlook reported this evening provides mitigation to risk-off sentiment. In addition to its sustained trajectory of growth and margin expansion, the company also boasts a strong balance sheet with substantial cash flows to weather any impending market uncertainties.</p><h2 id=\"id_4086483686\">Fundamental Considerations</h2><p>Adjusting our previous fundamental forecast for Microsoft’s actual F3Q24 results and outlook, with consideration of our foregoing analysis, we expect total revenue to grow 16% y/y to $245.1 billion in FY 2024.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/3f1b5fd03b78388116a07fd8438cc14e\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"67\"/><span>Author</span></p><p>We remain confident in the Intelligent Cloud and Productivity and Business Processes segments’ outlook in capturing additive AI opportunities ahead. These include ARPU expansion stemming from Copilot adoption across Microsoft’s productivity software installed base, as well as incremental AI-driven cloud TAM expansion for Azure. Meanwhile, the More Personal Computing segment is expected to benefit from a continuously stabilizing PC market, with anticipated synergies from the Activision Blizzard tuck-in acquisition to become more evident as integration efforts ramp. This is consistent with management’s expectation for Activision Blizzard results to become “accretive to operating income” exiting FY 2024.</p><p>On the cost front, we expect continued margin expansion, driven by continued scale of AI service deployments and ARPU growth in PBP. This is consistent with management’s expectations for one to two points of operating margin expansion in FY 2024, as economies of scale on AI-driven deployments offset incremental COGS growth and non-recurring Activision Blizzard integration costs. Specifically, the continued scale of AI services will be a key factor in driving sustained margin accretion in Microsoft’s next phase of growth.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/36ca0d598f199a1e6c4f732852cb38c4\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"157\"/><span>Author</span></p><h2 id=\"id_330493491\">Price Considerations</h2><p>With consideration of Microsoft’s better than expected fiscal third quarter results and robust outlook in capturing incremental AI growth opportunities, we are increasing our price target to $445 for the stock (previously $402).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e24d92f991c3fd7277d7ee0cc14cce56\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"232\"/><span>Author</span></p><p>We believe Microsoft’s market cap continues to show durability in returning sustainably in the $3+ trillion market cap territory, given continued penetration of AI-driven ARPU expansion across its massive installed base, as well as AI-driven TAM expansion that remains in early stages. This will be key to supporting Microsoft’s sustained long-term growth and margin expansion trajectory, which is fundamental to its valuation outlook.</p><p>Our price target is derived using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach. The analysis considers cash flow projections taken with the fundamental forecast discussed in the earlier section. A WACC of 9% is applied to reflect Microsoft’s risk profile and capital structure. Our analysis also maintains an estimated perpetual growth rate of 4.5% for Microsoft. This represents a valuation premium to peers, and exceeds the anticipated pace of longer-term economic growth in Microsoft&#39;s core operating regions.</p><p>We believe this premium is warranted, considering Microsoft’s track record in delivering consistent double-digit growth and margin expansion at scale, despite its massive and moderating installed base. This is further reinforced by its leadership in capturing emerging AI opportunities, which remain in its early stages.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e42b169a3fb55321002cba67e2112770\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"339\"/><span>Author</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1dec7e3f83dd64409fa0bd9bdc3b2b0c\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"220\"/><span>Author</span></p><h2 id=\"id_3062177964\">Conclusion</h2><p>Microsoft Corporation stock already trades at about 30% above its previous peak, set in 2021. It also exhibits a lofty valuation premium on a relative basis to its Magnificent 7 and broader tech sector peers. However, we remain confident in further upside potential at Microsoft, given its expansive reach into AI opportunities across different layers of the value chain. This will continue to reinforce its unmatched streak of double-digit growth and margin expansion through both AI-driven cloud TAM expansion and software ARPU expansion, which underpins further valuation upside potential.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This is corroborated by its robust March quarter results and managements optimism on a solid outlook underpinned by continued capture of emerging artificial intelligence (\"AI\") growth opportunities.We believe AI continues to be an incrementally additive opportunity to Microsoft’s outlook. This is particularly due to its expansive business that spans across infrastructure, large language models (“LLM”s) and end-user software applications – namely, the three key segments of AI opportunities.Looking ahead, Microsoft remains well-positioned for pent-up valuation gains as it continues to monetize on additive AI opportunities down the nascent technology’s value chain. Incrementally, we believe this also bodes favorably within a risk-off environment when paired with Microsoft’s robust balance sheet, which reinforces its haven characteristics.AI Double-Dip in Inference and SoftwareWe believe Microsoft’s competitive advantage amid AI transformation lies not only in its prescient investment into OpenAI and other related technology developments, but also in its expansive addressable market that spans across infrastructure, LLMs and development tools, and end-user software applications. Specifically, Microsoft’s diversified revenue sources for capturing AI opportunities remain a key mitigating factor against concerns about eventual demand risks and preserves its long-term growth trajectory.Inferencing OpportunitiesAs discussed in our previous coverage on the stock, Microsoft Azure remains a key beneficiary in the transition from training-dominant to inference-dominance workloads in the AI adoption cycle. And we continue to expect this trend to pick up in momentum heading into the second half of calendar 2024. This is also in line with management’s continued expectations for further momentum in commercial business growth through the back half of FY 2024 and beyond, particularly as AI service adoption scales up.Specifically, inferencing is expected to become the key driver of AI workload volumes, as industries start to scale up usage of AI solutions adopted over the past year. Industry currently forecasts inferencing activity to represent \"2x the number of cycles and spend as training by mid-2025.\" And the forecast trends are consistent with the growing share of revenue attributable to AI inference, and the industry’s increasing focus on addressing inference needs, as cited by Microsoft and its AI peers. For instance, AI darling Nvidia (NVDA) has referred to “inference” capabilities in its newest products eight times during the latest GTC keynote, while drastically reducing mentions of “training” compared to recent presentations.We estimate in the past year approximately 40% of data center revenue was for AI inference…We are on track to ramp H200 with initial shipments in the second quarter. Demand is strong as H200 nearly doubles the inference performance of H100.Source: Nvidia F4Q24 Earnings Call Transcript.As AI proliferates and the world moves towards more AI integrated application, there's a market shift toward local inferencing and smaller, more nimble models.Source: Intel 4Q3 Earnings Call Transcript.Mark MurphyYeah. Thank you very much. Is it possible to unpack the 6 point AI services tailwind, it's just to help us understand which elements ramped up by the three incremental points.Amy HoodMark, without getting into tons of line items, it's more simple to think of it as really, it's people adopting it for inferencing at the API generally…But this is primarily an inferencing workload right now in terms of what's driving that number.Source: Microsoft F2Q24 Earnings Call Transcript.Accelerating inferencing activity is also in line with the increasing migration of workloads to the cloud, which continues to benefit Azure. Specifically, we remain confident in Azure’s market share gain prospects not only because of its leading position as a primary cloud service provider, but also because of its diverse selection of instances to fit every performance and cost requirement from customers.In addition to instances powered by third-party chips from Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), for instance, Microsoft has also started to ramp deployments powered by its internally developed Maia 100 accelerator introduced last quarter. The chip was designed for optimized performance and cost efficiency for the Azure hardware stack, and enables “huge gains in performance and efficiency” with Microsoft workloads – especially as inferencing activity picks up. This continues to be an important link in addressing increasingly structural optimization demands from customers, despite stabilizing headwinds.The favorable prospects of Microsoft’s capture of additive inference workloads is further reinforced by stabilizing growth at Azure. Specifically, Azure revenues have grown 31% y/y during the fiscal third quarter, with AI services remaining a key driver.Looking ahead, we believe Azure remains well-positioned to be a key beneficiary of AI-driven cloud total addressable market, or TAM, expansion. In addition to its diversified instances to serve wide-ranging customer needs, Microsoft is also continuing investments into expanding its capacity to address emerging AI opportunities. This includes its recent partnership with OpenAI to spend more than $100 billion on the development of the next-generation “Stargate” supercomputer, which is expected to come online “as soon as 2028.” This is in line with hefty multi-year investments recently earmarked by rivals Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) towards data centers and server infrastructure, underscoring industry expectations for resilient AI opportunities ahead.Software OpportunitiesIn addition to infrastructural opportunities, we also remain optimistic in Microsoft’s advantage in capitalizing on incremental AI opportunities across other key areas of the value chain – namely, end-use software applications. Specifically, as summarized by Amazon, emerging AI opportunities primarily span across three key layers – infrastructure, foundation models, and the application stack. And Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of emerging AI opportunities in the application stack as well, complementing its already-growing share gains in the infrastructure layer. Taken together, Microsoft’s leadership in software will be a key factor for extending its AI monetization trajectory over those observed at peers.Specifically, Microsoft boasts a competitive advantage as the leading personal and enterprise software provider in the world, despite limited China market exposure. The continued integration of Copilot features remain key to expanding average revenue per user, or ARPU, from its massive installed base. And ARPU expansion remains a key growth driver for the company, given “continued moderation in seat growth rates given the size of [the Microsoft 365 Suite’s] installed base.”And Microsoft continues to demonstrate strength on this front. Following the launch of its $30 per user per month Copilot add-on subscription for existing paid Microsoft 365 seats in late 2023, uptake of the new AI-enabled product remains strong. This continues to be supported by proven productivity gains from Copilot, with users citing 29% faster task completion times. With more than 400 million paid Office 365 seats, Microsoft remains well-positioned for further growth headroom for Copilot uptake.At full penetration, the premium Copilot subscription at $30 per user per month would translate to about $144 billion in incremental revenue across 400 million existing Office 365 paid seats – and potentially more considering anticipated price increases in the long-run. And continued adoption is expected to gain further momentum with the influx of AI-enabled Windows PCs shipping later this year which will feature the new Copilot key, and complement the recent updates rolled out across the Windows 10 and Windows 11 installed base to incorporate Copilot features.In addition to the Copilot add-on for Microsoft 365, Microsoft also charges between $10 (for individuals) and $39 (for enterprise) per month for GitHub Copilot – an AI-enabled coding tool for developers. To date, the company has acquired more than 1.3 million subscribers to the solution (Q3: +30% q/q). GitHub Copilot also remains the preferred AI-enabled coding tool among developers, likely due to its seamless integration with Microsoft’s productivity and cloud workloads in enterprise environments. This continues to highlight Microsoft’s competitive advantage in capturing opportunities arising from adoption momentum for low- and no-code development tools.We believe Microsoft’s unmatched software leadership will be key to offsetting eventual headwinds when infrastructure-related AI demand normalizes. This is consistent with recent worries over the durability of the currently lofty semiconductor demand environment, which will potentially hit cloud service providers – another mission-critical backbone for AI-related developments – next.Other ConsiderationsIn addition to AI-related growth across its core Azure and software businesses, Microsoft is also well-positioned to benefit from the emerging PC recovery. Specifically, the emerging upgrade cycle of PCs bought during the pandemic era is expected to be reinforced by the advent of AI-enabled PCs and the Windows 11 refresh – two factors in which Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of.In the first quarter, PC shipments grew by more than 3% y/y, gradually recovery from the trough observed in 2023. This is consistent with three consecutive quarters of Windows revenue growth observed in FY 2024, reversing persistent declines that have plagued the segment since late FY 2022. Specifically, F3Q24 Windows revenue grew 11% y/y, accelerating from 9% y/y in F2Q and 5% y/y in F1Q. As mentioned earlier, AI PC shipments are expected to gain momentum later this year, with industry forecasting up to 50 million units, or close to 20% of the total mix, by the end of the year. This should reinforce Windows OEM growth observed in recent quarters, and also potentially improve uptake of higher margin premium Microsoft devices ahead.Microsoft also continues to exhibit key characteristics as a haven stock when markets turn risk-off. Given renewed geopolitical risks, in addition to increasingly structural expectations for a higher for longer interest rate environment, the set-up has increased investors’ angst. This is evident in the stock market selloff this month, with the biggest weekly drop observed in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 since November 2022 last week.Although Microsoft has also sustained some losses in earlier April, its robust results and outlook reported this evening provides mitigation to risk-off sentiment. In addition to its sustained trajectory of growth and margin expansion, the company also boasts a strong balance sheet with substantial cash flows to weather any impending market uncertainties.Fundamental ConsiderationsAdjusting our previous fundamental forecast for Microsoft’s actual F3Q24 results and outlook, with consideration of our foregoing analysis, we expect total revenue to grow 16% y/y to $245.1 billion in FY 2024.AuthorWe remain confident in the Intelligent Cloud and Productivity and Business Processes segments’ outlook in capturing additive AI opportunities ahead. These include ARPU expansion stemming from Copilot adoption across Microsoft’s productivity software installed base, as well as incremental AI-driven cloud TAM expansion for Azure. Meanwhile, the More Personal Computing segment is expected to benefit from a continuously stabilizing PC market, with anticipated synergies from the Activision Blizzard tuck-in acquisition to become more evident as integration efforts ramp. This is consistent with management’s expectation for Activision Blizzard results to become “accretive to operating income” exiting FY 2024.On the cost front, we expect continued margin expansion, driven by continued scale of AI service deployments and ARPU growth in PBP. This is consistent with management’s expectations for one to two points of operating margin expansion in FY 2024, as economies of scale on AI-driven deployments offset incremental COGS growth and non-recurring Activision Blizzard integration costs. Specifically, the continued scale of AI services will be a key factor in driving sustained margin accretion in Microsoft’s next phase of growth.AuthorPrice ConsiderationsWith consideration of Microsoft’s better than expected fiscal third quarter results and robust outlook in capturing incremental AI growth opportunities, we are increasing our price target to $445 for the stock (previously $402).AuthorWe believe Microsoft’s market cap continues to show durability in returning sustainably in the $3+ trillion market cap territory, given continued penetration of AI-driven ARPU expansion across its massive installed base, as well as AI-driven TAM expansion that remains in early stages. This will be key to supporting Microsoft’s sustained long-term growth and margin expansion trajectory, which is fundamental to its valuation outlook.Our price target is derived using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach. The analysis considers cash flow projections taken with the fundamental forecast discussed in the earlier section. A WACC of 9% is applied to reflect Microsoft’s risk profile and capital structure. Our analysis also maintains an estimated perpetual growth rate of 4.5% for Microsoft. This represents a valuation premium to peers, and exceeds the anticipated pace of longer-term economic growth in Microsoft's core operating regions.We believe this premium is warranted, considering Microsoft’s track record in delivering consistent double-digit growth and margin expansion at scale, despite its massive and moderating installed base. This is further reinforced by its leadership in capturing emerging AI opportunities, which remain in its early stages.AuthorAuthorConclusionMicrosoft Corporation stock already trades at about 30% above its previous peak, set in 2021. It also exhibits a lofty valuation premium on a relative basis to its Magnificent 7 and broader tech sector peers. However, we remain confident in further upside potential at Microsoft, given its expansive reach into AI opportunities across different layers of the value chain. This will continue to reinforce its unmatched streak of double-digit growth and margin expansion through both AI-driven cloud TAM expansion and software ARPU expansion, which underpins further valuation upside potential.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":299052035334296,"gmtCreate":1714021717393,"gmtModify":1714023550791,"author":{"id":"4175936170600562","authorId":"4175936170600562","name":"CraftyCats1971","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/daf44ad58eed2c435108a00e7f29314f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4175936170600562","authorIdStr":"4175936170600562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hey All.

The reasons include regulatory hurdles for the corporate sector, macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical factors. However, there is no doubt that some high-quality businesses in China could be invested in. The negative sentiments are, therefore, an excellent opportunity to accumulate undervalued Chinese stocks.</p><p>For 2024, it’s estimated that China’s GDP will increase by 4.6%. This growth is likely amidst the challenges faced by the real estate sector. China also faces issues related to overcapacity. It’s, however, worth noting that China is a big economy. Some sectors will grow at a healthy pace, while others will grow at a muted pace. At the same time, economic sectors will go through a recession.</p><p>My point is that there will continue to be attractive investment opportunities. With a broad market remaining depressed, it’s an excellent time to accumulate undervalued Chinese stocks. I believe these stocks are poised to surge higher, considering positive business catalysts.</p><h2 id=\"id_1935101079\">Li Auto (LI)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/00cfa1ea916bb1d39e47bc93da58fd95\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Robert Way / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>Li Auto</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>LI</u></strong>) is among the most undervalued Chinese stocks to buy. The stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 13.5, and with robust revenue growth, I expect a quick double from current levels.</p><p>It’s worth noting that Chinese EV makers like <strong>Nio</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>NIO</u></strong>) and <strong>XPeng</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>XPEV</u></strong>) have been struggling. However, that’s not the case with Li Auto. The Company continues to report healthy delivery growth coupled with robust vehicle margins.</p><p>Li Auto ended 2023 with a strong cash buffer of $14.6 billion. Further, with strong free cash flows, the Company has high financial flexibility to pursue aggressive growth. Li has exclusively focused on expanding its retail network within China. Considering the financial flexibility, I expect Li auAutoo to explore international markets in the next 24 months. That’s another impending growth catalyst.</p><p>Further, with the development and launch of new models, delivery growth is likely to remain stellar. The Li L6, a five-seat premium family SUV, was launched recently. The car has received an excellent initial response.</p><h2 id=\"id_531235800\">Miniso Group (MNSO)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f24936a27ff4da617ece6cf94a77f463\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: shutterstock.com/Hendrick Wu</p><p><strong>Miniso Group</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>MNSO</u></strong>) stock is another undervalued Chinese stock to buy for quick returns. MNSO stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 19 and offers a dividend yield of 1.74%. With stellar revenue growth coupled with adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, it’s a matter of time before MNSO stock surges.</p><p>For Q2 2024, the lifestyle retailer reported revenue growth of 54% on a year-on-year basis to $541 million. This growth was driven by aggressively opening new stores in China and internationally. Further, Miniso reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.9% for the quarter, which was higher by 200 basis points on a year-on-year basis.</p><p>With Miniso targeting to open 900 to 1,100 stores annually between 2024 and 2028, I expect robust growth to sustain. At the same time, the dividend upside will likely remain healthy on the back of higher cash flows. Considering these positives, MNSO stock trades at a valuation gap, and I expect a significant rally relatively soon.</p><h2 id=\"id_2479028221\">JD.com (JD)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a3b70b98259fdebdf50cd16c56733b27\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>JD.com</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>JD</u></strong>) was among the hottest stocks during the euphoric rally of 2021. The stock had surged above $100, backed by positive business developments and industry tailwinds. However, regulatory headwinds coupled with a shift in shopping trends in a post-pandemic world translated into a deep correction for JD stock.</p><p>At current levels of $30, JD stock seems undervalued and poised for a significant reversal rally. My view is underscored by the fact that the stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 9.6. Further, JD stock offers a dividend yield of 2.5%.</p><p>An important point to note is that between 2018 and 2023, JD.com has delivered revenue growth at a CAGR of 19%. Besides healthy top-line growth, the Company’s profitability makes JD stock attractive.</p><p>To put things into perspective, the Company reported operating cash flow of $8.4 billion for 2023. This provides ample flexibility for investment in the Company’s emerging businesses. Further, the core business of JD Retail and JD Logistics has ample scope for growth and penetration within China.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The reasons include regulatory hurdles for the corporate sector, macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical factors. However, there is no doubt that some high-quality businesses in China could be invested in. The negative sentiments are, therefore, an excellent opportunity to accumulate undervalued Chinese stocks.For 2024, it’s estimated that China’s GDP will increase by 4.6%. This growth is likely amidst the challenges faced by the real estate sector. China also faces issues related to overcapacity. It’s, however, worth noting that China is a big economy. Some sectors will grow at a healthy pace, while others will grow at a muted pace. At the same time, economic sectors will go through a recession.My point is that there will continue to be attractive investment opportunities. With a broad market remaining depressed, it’s an excellent time to accumulate undervalued Chinese stocks. I believe these stocks are poised to surge higher, considering positive business catalysts.Li Auto (LI)Source: Robert Way / Shutterstock.comLi Auto (NASDAQ:LI) is among the most undervalued Chinese stocks to buy. The stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 13.5, and with robust revenue growth, I expect a quick double from current levels.It’s worth noting that Chinese EV makers like Nio (NYSE:NIO) and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) have been struggling. However, that’s not the case with Li Auto. The Company continues to report healthy delivery growth coupled with robust vehicle margins.Li Auto ended 2023 with a strong cash buffer of $14.6 billion. Further, with strong free cash flows, the Company has high financial flexibility to pursue aggressive growth. Li has exclusively focused on expanding its retail network within China. Considering the financial flexibility, I expect Li auAutoo to explore international markets in the next 24 months. That’s another impending growth catalyst.Further, with the development and launch of new models, delivery growth is likely to remain stellar. The Li L6, a five-seat premium family SUV, was launched recently. The car has received an excellent initial response.Miniso Group (MNSO)Source: shutterstock.com/Hendrick WuMiniso Group (NYSE:MNSO) stock is another undervalued Chinese stock to buy for quick returns. MNSO stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 19 and offers a dividend yield of 1.74%. With stellar revenue growth coupled with adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, it’s a matter of time before MNSO stock surges.For Q2 2024, the lifestyle retailer reported revenue growth of 54% on a year-on-year basis to $541 million. This growth was driven by aggressively opening new stores in China and internationally. Further, Miniso reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.9% for the quarter, which was higher by 200 basis points on a year-on-year basis.With Miniso targeting to open 900 to 1,100 stores annually between 2024 and 2028, I expect robust growth to sustain. At the same time, the dividend upside will likely remain healthy on the back of higher cash flows. Considering these positives, MNSO stock trades at a valuation gap, and I expect a significant rally relatively soon.JD.com (JD)Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comJD.com (NASDAQ:JD) was among the hottest stocks during the euphoric rally of 2021. The stock had surged above $100, backed by positive business developments and industry tailwinds. However, regulatory headwinds coupled with a shift in shopping trends in a post-pandemic world translated into a deep correction for JD stock.At current levels of $30, JD stock seems undervalued and poised for a significant reversal rally. My view is underscored by the fact that the stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 9.6. Further, JD stock offers a dividend yield of 2.5%.An important point to note is that between 2018 and 2023, JD.com has delivered revenue growth at a CAGR of 19%. Besides healthy top-line growth, the Company’s profitability makes JD stock attractive.To put things into perspective, the Company reported operating cash flow of $8.4 billion for 2023. This provides ample flexibility for investment in the Company’s emerging businesses. Further, the core business of JD Retail and JD Logistics has ample scope for growth and penetration within China.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":301058388795464,"gmtCreate":1714520097812,"gmtModify":1714520101115,"author":{"id":"4175936170600562","authorId":"4175936170600562","name":"CraftyCats1971","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/daf44ad58eed2c435108a00e7f29314f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4175936170600562","authorIdStr":"4175936170600562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Golden!","listText":"Golden!","text":"Golden!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/301058388795464","repostId":"2432583120","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2432583120","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1714519800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2432583120?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-05-01 07:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pot Stocks Jump As U.S. DOJ Moves to Reclassify Cannabis As a Less Dangerous Drug","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2432583120","media":"Reuters","summary":"April 30 (Reuters) - Shares of cannabis companies surged on Tuesday afternoon after the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) moved to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.U.S.-listed shares of Cr","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>April 30 (Reuters) - Shares of cannabis companies surged on Tuesday afternoon after the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) moved to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.</p><p>U.S.-listed shares of Cronos Group , Tilray Brands and Canopy Growth rose between 15.3% and 78.9%, while ETF AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis soared 24.8%.</p><p>Canada-listed Green Thumb Industries and Trulieve Cannabis were also up 26.6% and 37.3%, respectively.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/91a48d6d79a97fa90e1e2bb5d0b1fb55\" tg-width=\"389\" tg-height=\"925\"/></p><p>Cannabis firms are taxed under section 280E as a part of Schedule I drug, which disallows them from deducting normal business expenses from their profit, increasing tax burden for the companies.

From a year ago, it advanced 2.8%.The overall PCE price measure also rose 0.3% from February and 2.7% from the prior year.Inflation-adjusted consumer spending climbed a larger-than-forecast 0.5%, the biggest gain this year.Faster inflation in the first quarter, combined with steady household spending, will likely persuade Fed policymakers to refrain from lowering interest rates — if at all — until later this year. Officials meeting next week are expected to hold borrowing costs at a two-decade high.“There’s both a story here about the economy holding up very well with high interest rates, as well as inflation pressures being persistent,” Bruce Kasman, chief economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., said on Bloomberg Television. “And while I don’t think it’s right to talk about this from the point of view of Fed tightening, I think the case for Fed easing here is pretty small any time soon.”Traders mostly reacted positively as investors took relief from in-line monthly inflation data after quarterly figures on Thursday suggested upside risk to March.Central bankers pay close attention to services inflation excluding housing and energy, which tends to be more sticky. That metric climbed 0.4% from February, an acceleration from the prior month, according to the BEA.A robust labor market is the main reason why households have yet to hit the brakes on spending in the face of high interest rates and elevated prices.Consumer SpendingInflation-adjusted outlays for merchandise increased 1.1% last month, reflecting a second-straight month of solid spending on durable goods. Services spending, meanwhile, edged up 0.2%.Demand for workers is still healthy, supporting wage growth. Overall incomes increased 0.5%, as wages and salaries rose 0.7% for a second month. That was the strongest back-to-back gain since the start of last year.The saving rate dropped to 3.2%, the lowest since October 2022.Looking ahead, central bankers are still hopeful they can bring inflation down to their 2% target without breaking the economy.A separate report out Thursday showed that slower economic growth in the first quarter masked resilient household demand and business spending.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":279,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":299353304301608,"gmtCreate":1714110428995,"gmtModify":1714115808962,"author":{"id":"4175936170600562","authorId":"4175936170600562","name":"CraftyCats1971","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/daf44ad58eed2c435108a00e7f29314f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4175936170600562","authorIdStr":"4175936170600562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Microsoft advantage, might be my advantage.

This is corroborated by its robust March quarter results and managements optimism on a solid outlook underpinned by continued capture of emerging artificial intelligence (&#34;AI&#34;) growth opportunities.</p><p>We believe AI continues to be an incrementally additive opportunity to Microsoft’s outlook. This is particularly due to its expansive business that spans across infrastructure, large language models (“LLM”s) and end-user software applications – namely, the three key segments of AI opportunities.</p><p>Looking ahead, Microsoft remains well-positioned for pent-up valuation gains as it continues to monetize on additive AI opportunities down the nascent technology’s value chain. Incrementally, we believe this also bodes favorably within a risk-off environment when paired with Microsoft’s robust balance sheet, which reinforces its haven characteristics.</p><h2 id=\"id_354123258\">AI Double-Dip in Inference and Software</h2><p>We believe Microsoft’s competitive advantage amid AI transformation lies not only in its prescient investment into OpenAI and other related technology developments, but also in its expansive addressable market that spans across infrastructure, LLMs and development tools, and end-user software applications. Specifically, Microsoft’s diversified revenue sources for capturing AI opportunities remain a key mitigating factor against concerns about eventual demand risks and preserves its long-term growth trajectory.</p><h4 id=\"id_822985143\"><em>Inferencing Opportunities</em></h4><p>As discussed in our previous coverage on the stock, Microsoft Azure remains a key beneficiary in the transition from training-dominant to inference-dominance workloads in the AI adoption cycle. And we continue to expect this trend to pick up in momentum heading into the second half of calendar 2024. This is also in line with management’s continued expectations for further momentum in commercial business growth through the back half of FY 2024 and beyond, particularly as AI service adoption scales up.</p><p>Specifically, inferencing is expected to become the key driver of AI workload volumes, as industries start to scale up usage of AI solutions adopted over the past year. Industry currently forecasts inferencing activity to represent &#34;2x the number of cycles and spend as training by mid-2025.&#34; And the forecast trends are consistent with the growing share of revenue attributable to AI inference, and the industry’s increasing focus on addressing inference needs, as cited by Microsoft and its AI peers. For instance, AI darling Nvidia (NVDA) has referred to “inference” capabilities in its newest products eight times during the latest GTC keynote, while drastically reducing mentions of “training” compared to recent presentations.</p><blockquote><p>We estimate in the past year approximately 40% of data center revenue was for AI inference…We are on track to ramp H200 with initial shipments in the second quarter. Demand is strong as H200 nearly doubles the inference performance of H100.</p><p><em>Source: Nvidia F4Q24 Earnings Call Transcript</em>.</p><p>As AI proliferates and the world moves towards more AI integrated application, there&#39;s a market shift toward local inferencing and smaller, more nimble models.</p><p><em>Source: Intel 4Q3 Earnings Call Transcript</em>.</p><p><strong>Mark Murphy</strong></p><p>Yeah. Thank you very much. Is it possible to unpack the 6 point AI services tailwind, it&#39;s just to help us understand which elements ramped up by the three incremental points.</p><p><strong>Amy Hood</strong></p><p>Mark, without getting into tons of line items, it&#39;s more simple to think of it as really, it&#39;s people adopting it for inferencing at the API generally…But this is primarily an inferencing workload right now in terms of what&#39;s driving that number.</p><p><em>Source: Microsoft F2Q24 Earnings Call Transcript</em>.</p></blockquote><p>Accelerating inferencing activity is also in line with the increasing migration of workloads to the cloud, which continues to benefit Azure. Specifically, we remain confident in Azure’s market share gain prospects not only because of its leading position as a primary cloud service provider, but also because of its diverse selection of instances to fit every performance and cost requirement from customers.</p><p>In addition to instances powered by third-party chips from Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), for instance, Microsoft has also started to ramp deployments powered by its internally developed Maia 100 accelerator introduced last quarter. The chip was designed for optimized performance and cost efficiency for the Azure hardware stack, and enables “huge gains in performance and efficiency” with Microsoft workloads – especially as inferencing activity picks up. This continues to be an important link in addressing increasingly structural optimization demands from customers, despite stabilizing headwinds.</p><p>The favorable prospects of Microsoft’s capture of additive inference workloads is further reinforced by stabilizing growth at Azure. Specifically, Azure revenues have grown 31% y/y during the fiscal third quarter, with AI services remaining a key driver.</p><p>Looking ahead, we believe Azure remains well-positioned to be a key beneficiary of AI-driven cloud total addressable market, or TAM, expansion. In addition to its diversified instances to serve wide-ranging customer needs, Microsoft is also continuing investments into expanding its capacity to address emerging AI opportunities. This includes its recent partnership with OpenAI to spend more than $100 billion on the development of the next-generation “Stargate” supercomputer, which is expected to come online “as soon as 2028.” This is in line with hefty multi-year investments recently earmarked by rivals Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) towards data centers and server infrastructure, underscoring industry expectations for resilient AI opportunities ahead.</p><h4 id=\"id_2038543034\"><em>Software Opportunities</em></h4><p>In addition to infrastructural opportunities, we also remain optimistic in Microsoft’s advantage in capitalizing on incremental AI opportunities across other key areas of the value chain – namely, end-use software applications. Specifically, as summarized by Amazon, emerging AI opportunities primarily span across three key layers – infrastructure, foundation models, and the application stack. And Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of emerging AI opportunities in the application stack as well, complementing its already-growing share gains in the infrastructure layer. Taken together, Microsoft’s leadership in software will be a key factor for extending its AI monetization trajectory over those observed at peers.</p><p>Specifically, Microsoft boasts a competitive advantage as the leading personal and enterprise software provider in the world, despite limited China market exposure. The continued integration of Copilot features remain key to expanding average revenue per user, or ARPU, from its massive installed base. And ARPU expansion remains a key growth driver for the company, given “continued moderation in seat growth rates given the size of [the Microsoft 365 Suite’s] installed base.”</p><p>And Microsoft continues to demonstrate strength on this front. Following the launch of its $30 per user per month Copilot add-on subscription for existing paid Microsoft 365 seats in late 2023, uptake of the new AI-enabled product remains strong. This continues to be supported by proven productivity gains from Copilot, with users citing 29% faster task completion times. With more than 400 million paid Office 365 seats, Microsoft remains well-positioned for further growth headroom for Copilot uptake.</p><p>At full penetration, the premium Copilot subscription at $30 per user per month would translate to about $144 billion in incremental revenue across 400 million existing Office 365 paid seats – and potentially more considering anticipated price increases in the long-run. And continued adoption is expected to gain further momentum with the influx of AI-enabled Windows PCs shipping later this year which will feature the new Copilot key, and complement the recent updates rolled out across the Windows 10 and Windows 11 installed base to incorporate Copilot features.</p><p>In addition to the Copilot add-on for Microsoft 365, Microsoft also charges between $10 (for individuals) and $39 (for enterprise) per month for GitHub Copilot – an AI-enabled coding tool for developers. To date, the company has acquired more than 1.3 million subscribers to the solution (Q3: +30% q/q). GitHub Copilot also remains the preferred AI-enabled coding tool among developers, likely due to its seamless integration with Microsoft’s productivity and cloud workloads in enterprise environments. This continues to highlight Microsoft’s competitive advantage in capturing opportunities arising from adoption momentum for low- and no-code development tools.</p><p>We believe Microsoft’s unmatched software leadership will be key to offsetting eventual headwinds when infrastructure-related AI demand normalizes. This is consistent with recent worries over the durability of the currently lofty semiconductor demand environment, which will potentially hit cloud service providers – another mission-critical backbone for AI-related developments – next.</p><h2 id=\"id_4192614241\">Other Considerations</h2><p>In addition to AI-related growth across its core Azure and software businesses, Microsoft is also well-positioned to benefit from the emerging PC recovery. Specifically, the emerging upgrade cycle of PCs bought during the pandemic era is expected to be reinforced by the advent of AI-enabled PCs and the Windows 11 refresh – two factors in which Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of.</p><p>In the first quarter, PC shipments grew by more than 3% y/y, gradually recovery from the trough observed in 2023. This is consistent with three consecutive quarters of Windows revenue growth observed in FY 2024, reversing persistent declines that have plagued the segment since late FY 2022. Specifically, F3Q24 Windows revenue grew 11% y/y, accelerating from 9% y/y in F2Q and 5% y/y in F1Q. As mentioned earlier, AI PC shipments are expected to gain momentum later this year, with industry forecasting up to 50 million units, or close to 20% of the total mix, by the end of the year. This should reinforce Windows OEM growth observed in recent quarters, and also potentially improve uptake of higher margin premium Microsoft devices ahead.</p><p>Microsoft also continues to exhibit key characteristics as a haven stock when markets turn risk-off. Given renewed geopolitical risks, in addition to increasingly structural expectations for a higher for longer interest rate environment, the set-up has increased investors’ angst. This is evident in the stock market selloff this month, with the biggest weekly drop observed in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 since November 2022 last week.</p><p>Although Microsoft has also sustained some losses in earlier April, its robust results and outlook reported this evening provides mitigation to risk-off sentiment. In addition to its sustained trajectory of growth and margin expansion, the company also boasts a strong balance sheet with substantial cash flows to weather any impending market uncertainties.</p><h2 id=\"id_4086483686\">Fundamental Considerations</h2><p>Adjusting our previous fundamental forecast for Microsoft’s actual F3Q24 results and outlook, with consideration of our foregoing analysis, we expect total revenue to grow 16% y/y to $245.1 billion in FY 2024.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/3f1b5fd03b78388116a07fd8438cc14e\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"67\"/><span>Author</span></p><p>We remain confident in the Intelligent Cloud and Productivity and Business Processes segments’ outlook in capturing additive AI opportunities ahead. These include ARPU expansion stemming from Copilot adoption across Microsoft’s productivity software installed base, as well as incremental AI-driven cloud TAM expansion for Azure. Meanwhile, the More Personal Computing segment is expected to benefit from a continuously stabilizing PC market, with anticipated synergies from the Activision Blizzard tuck-in acquisition to become more evident as integration efforts ramp. This is consistent with management’s expectation for Activision Blizzard results to become “accretive to operating income” exiting FY 2024.</p><p>On the cost front, we expect continued margin expansion, driven by continued scale of AI service deployments and ARPU growth in PBP. This is consistent with management’s expectations for one to two points of operating margin expansion in FY 2024, as economies of scale on AI-driven deployments offset incremental COGS growth and non-recurring Activision Blizzard integration costs. Specifically, the continued scale of AI services will be a key factor in driving sustained margin accretion in Microsoft’s next phase of growth.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/36ca0d598f199a1e6c4f732852cb38c4\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"157\"/><span>Author</span></p><h2 id=\"id_330493491\">Price Considerations</h2><p>With consideration of Microsoft’s better than expected fiscal third quarter results and robust outlook in capturing incremental AI growth opportunities, we are increasing our price target to $445 for the stock (previously $402).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e24d92f991c3fd7277d7ee0cc14cce56\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"232\"/><span>Author</span></p><p>We believe Microsoft’s market cap continues to show durability in returning sustainably in the $3+ trillion market cap territory, given continued penetration of AI-driven ARPU expansion across its massive installed base, as well as AI-driven TAM expansion that remains in early stages. This will be key to supporting Microsoft’s sustained long-term growth and margin expansion trajectory, which is fundamental to its valuation outlook.</p><p>Our price target is derived using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach. The analysis considers cash flow projections taken with the fundamental forecast discussed in the earlier section. A WACC of 9% is applied to reflect Microsoft’s risk profile and capital structure. Our analysis also maintains an estimated perpetual growth rate of 4.5% for Microsoft. This represents a valuation premium to peers, and exceeds the anticipated pace of longer-term economic growth in Microsoft&#39;s core operating regions.</p><p>We believe this premium is warranted, considering Microsoft’s track record in delivering consistent double-digit growth and margin expansion at scale, despite its massive and moderating installed base. This is further reinforced by its leadership in capturing emerging AI opportunities, which remain in its early stages.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e42b169a3fb55321002cba67e2112770\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"339\"/><span>Author</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1dec7e3f83dd64409fa0bd9bdc3b2b0c\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"220\"/><span>Author</span></p><h2 id=\"id_3062177964\">Conclusion</h2><p>Microsoft Corporation stock already trades at about 30% above its previous peak, set in 2021. It also exhibits a lofty valuation premium on a relative basis to its Magnificent 7 and broader tech sector peers. However, we remain confident in further upside potential at Microsoft, given its expansive reach into AI opportunities across different layers of the value chain. This will continue to reinforce its unmatched streak of double-digit growth and margin expansion through both AI-driven cloud TAM expansion and software ARPU expansion, which underpins further valuation upside potential.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This is corroborated by its robust March quarter results and managements optimism on a solid outlook underpinned by continued capture of emerging artificial intelligence (\"AI\") growth opportunities.We believe AI continues to be an incrementally additive opportunity to Microsoft’s outlook. This is particularly due to its expansive business that spans across infrastructure, large language models (“LLM”s) and end-user software applications – namely, the three key segments of AI opportunities.Looking ahead, Microsoft remains well-positioned for pent-up valuation gains as it continues to monetize on additive AI opportunities down the nascent technology’s value chain. Incrementally, we believe this also bodes favorably within a risk-off environment when paired with Microsoft’s robust balance sheet, which reinforces its haven characteristics.AI Double-Dip in Inference and SoftwareWe believe Microsoft’s competitive advantage amid AI transformation lies not only in its prescient investment into OpenAI and other related technology developments, but also in its expansive addressable market that spans across infrastructure, LLMs and development tools, and end-user software applications. Specifically, Microsoft’s diversified revenue sources for capturing AI opportunities remain a key mitigating factor against concerns about eventual demand risks and preserves its long-term growth trajectory.Inferencing OpportunitiesAs discussed in our previous coverage on the stock, Microsoft Azure remains a key beneficiary in the transition from training-dominant to inference-dominance workloads in the AI adoption cycle. And we continue to expect this trend to pick up in momentum heading into the second half of calendar 2024. This is also in line with management’s continued expectations for further momentum in commercial business growth through the back half of FY 2024 and beyond, particularly as AI service adoption scales up.Specifically, inferencing is expected to become the key driver of AI workload volumes, as industries start to scale up usage of AI solutions adopted over the past year. Industry currently forecasts inferencing activity to represent \"2x the number of cycles and spend as training by mid-2025.\" And the forecast trends are consistent with the growing share of revenue attributable to AI inference, and the industry’s increasing focus on addressing inference needs, as cited by Microsoft and its AI peers. For instance, AI darling Nvidia (NVDA) has referred to “inference” capabilities in its newest products eight times during the latest GTC keynote, while drastically reducing mentions of “training” compared to recent presentations.We estimate in the past year approximately 40% of data center revenue was for AI inference…We are on track to ramp H200 with initial shipments in the second quarter. Demand is strong as H200 nearly doubles the inference performance of H100.Source: Nvidia F4Q24 Earnings Call Transcript.As AI proliferates and the world moves towards more AI integrated application, there's a market shift toward local inferencing and smaller, more nimble models.Source: Intel 4Q3 Earnings Call Transcript.Mark MurphyYeah. Thank you very much. Is it possible to unpack the 6 point AI services tailwind, it's just to help us understand which elements ramped up by the three incremental points.Amy HoodMark, without getting into tons of line items, it's more simple to think of it as really, it's people adopting it for inferencing at the API generally…But this is primarily an inferencing workload right now in terms of what's driving that number.Source: Microsoft F2Q24 Earnings Call Transcript.Accelerating inferencing activity is also in line with the increasing migration of workloads to the cloud, which continues to benefit Azure. Specifically, we remain confident in Azure’s market share gain prospects not only because of its leading position as a primary cloud service provider, but also because of its diverse selection of instances to fit every performance and cost requirement from customers.In addition to instances powered by third-party chips from Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), for instance, Microsoft has also started to ramp deployments powered by its internally developed Maia 100 accelerator introduced last quarter. The chip was designed for optimized performance and cost efficiency for the Azure hardware stack, and enables “huge gains in performance and efficiency” with Microsoft workloads – especially as inferencing activity picks up. This continues to be an important link in addressing increasingly structural optimization demands from customers, despite stabilizing headwinds.The favorable prospects of Microsoft’s capture of additive inference workloads is further reinforced by stabilizing growth at Azure. Specifically, Azure revenues have grown 31% y/y during the fiscal third quarter, with AI services remaining a key driver.Looking ahead, we believe Azure remains well-positioned to be a key beneficiary of AI-driven cloud total addressable market, or TAM, expansion. In addition to its diversified instances to serve wide-ranging customer needs, Microsoft is also continuing investments into expanding its capacity to address emerging AI opportunities. This includes its recent partnership with OpenAI to spend more than $100 billion on the development of the next-generation “Stargate” supercomputer, which is expected to come online “as soon as 2028.” This is in line with hefty multi-year investments recently earmarked by rivals Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) towards data centers and server infrastructure, underscoring industry expectations for resilient AI opportunities ahead.Software OpportunitiesIn addition to infrastructural opportunities, we also remain optimistic in Microsoft’s advantage in capitalizing on incremental AI opportunities across other key areas of the value chain – namely, end-use software applications. Specifically, as summarized by Amazon, emerging AI opportunities primarily span across three key layers – infrastructure, foundation models, and the application stack. And Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of emerging AI opportunities in the application stack as well, complementing its already-growing share gains in the infrastructure layer. Taken together, Microsoft’s leadership in software will be a key factor for extending its AI monetization trajectory over those observed at peers.Specifically, Microsoft boasts a competitive advantage as the leading personal and enterprise software provider in the world, despite limited China market exposure. The continued integration of Copilot features remain key to expanding average revenue per user, or ARPU, from its massive installed base. And ARPU expansion remains a key growth driver for the company, given “continued moderation in seat growth rates given the size of [the Microsoft 365 Suite’s] installed base.”And Microsoft continues to demonstrate strength on this front. Following the launch of its $30 per user per month Copilot add-on subscription for existing paid Microsoft 365 seats in late 2023, uptake of the new AI-enabled product remains strong. This continues to be supported by proven productivity gains from Copilot, with users citing 29% faster task completion times. With more than 400 million paid Office 365 seats, Microsoft remains well-positioned for further growth headroom for Copilot uptake.At full penetration, the premium Copilot subscription at $30 per user per month would translate to about $144 billion in incremental revenue across 400 million existing Office 365 paid seats – and potentially more considering anticipated price increases in the long-run. And continued adoption is expected to gain further momentum with the influx of AI-enabled Windows PCs shipping later this year which will feature the new Copilot key, and complement the recent updates rolled out across the Windows 10 and Windows 11 installed base to incorporate Copilot features.In addition to the Copilot add-on for Microsoft 365, Microsoft also charges between $10 (for individuals) and $39 (for enterprise) per month for GitHub Copilot – an AI-enabled coding tool for developers. To date, the company has acquired more than 1.3 million subscribers to the solution (Q3: +30% q/q). GitHub Copilot also remains the preferred AI-enabled coding tool among developers, likely due to its seamless integration with Microsoft’s productivity and cloud workloads in enterprise environments. This continues to highlight Microsoft’s competitive advantage in capturing opportunities arising from adoption momentum for low- and no-code development tools.We believe Microsoft’s unmatched software leadership will be key to offsetting eventual headwinds when infrastructure-related AI demand normalizes. This is consistent with recent worries over the durability of the currently lofty semiconductor demand environment, which will potentially hit cloud service providers – another mission-critical backbone for AI-related developments – next.Other ConsiderationsIn addition to AI-related growth across its core Azure and software businesses, Microsoft is also well-positioned to benefit from the emerging PC recovery. Specifically, the emerging upgrade cycle of PCs bought during the pandemic era is expected to be reinforced by the advent of AI-enabled PCs and the Windows 11 refresh – two factors in which Microsoft remains a key beneficiary of.In the first quarter, PC shipments grew by more than 3% y/y, gradually recovery from the trough observed in 2023. This is consistent with three consecutive quarters of Windows revenue growth observed in FY 2024, reversing persistent declines that have plagued the segment since late FY 2022. Specifically, F3Q24 Windows revenue grew 11% y/y, accelerating from 9% y/y in F2Q and 5% y/y in F1Q. As mentioned earlier, AI PC shipments are expected to gain momentum later this year, with industry forecasting up to 50 million units, or close to 20% of the total mix, by the end of the year. This should reinforce Windows OEM growth observed in recent quarters, and also potentially improve uptake of higher margin premium Microsoft devices ahead.Microsoft also continues to exhibit key characteristics as a haven stock when markets turn risk-off. Given renewed geopolitical risks, in addition to increasingly structural expectations for a higher for longer interest rate environment, the set-up has increased investors’ angst. This is evident in the stock market selloff this month, with the biggest weekly drop observed in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 since November 2022 last week.Although Microsoft has also sustained some losses in earlier April, its robust results and outlook reported this evening provides mitigation to risk-off sentiment. In addition to its sustained trajectory of growth and margin expansion, the company also boasts a strong balance sheet with substantial cash flows to weather any impending market uncertainties.Fundamental ConsiderationsAdjusting our previous fundamental forecast for Microsoft’s actual F3Q24 results and outlook, with consideration of our foregoing analysis, we expect total revenue to grow 16% y/y to $245.1 billion in FY 2024.AuthorWe remain confident in the Intelligent Cloud and Productivity and Business Processes segments’ outlook in capturing additive AI opportunities ahead. These include ARPU expansion stemming from Copilot adoption across Microsoft’s productivity software installed base, as well as incremental AI-driven cloud TAM expansion for Azure. Meanwhile, the More Personal Computing segment is expected to benefit from a continuously stabilizing PC market, with anticipated synergies from the Activision Blizzard tuck-in acquisition to become more evident as integration efforts ramp. This is consistent with management’s expectation for Activision Blizzard results to become “accretive to operating income” exiting FY 2024.On the cost front, we expect continued margin expansion, driven by continued scale of AI service deployments and ARPU growth in PBP. This is consistent with management’s expectations for one to two points of operating margin expansion in FY 2024, as economies of scale on AI-driven deployments offset incremental COGS growth and non-recurring Activision Blizzard integration costs. Specifically, the continued scale of AI services will be a key factor in driving sustained margin accretion in Microsoft’s next phase of growth.AuthorPrice ConsiderationsWith consideration of Microsoft’s better than expected fiscal third quarter results and robust outlook in capturing incremental AI growth opportunities, we are increasing our price target to $445 for the stock (previously $402).AuthorWe believe Microsoft’s market cap continues to show durability in returning sustainably in the $3+ trillion market cap territory, given continued penetration of AI-driven ARPU expansion across its massive installed base, as well as AI-driven TAM expansion that remains in early stages. This will be key to supporting Microsoft’s sustained long-term growth and margin expansion trajectory, which is fundamental to its valuation outlook.Our price target is derived using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach. The analysis considers cash flow projections taken with the fundamental forecast discussed in the earlier section. A WACC of 9% is applied to reflect Microsoft’s risk profile and capital structure. Our analysis also maintains an estimated perpetual growth rate of 4.5% for Microsoft. This represents a valuation premium to peers, and exceeds the anticipated pace of longer-term economic growth in Microsoft's core operating regions.We believe this premium is warranted, considering Microsoft’s track record in delivering consistent double-digit growth and margin expansion at scale, despite its massive and moderating installed base. This is further reinforced by its leadership in capturing emerging AI opportunities, which remain in its early stages.AuthorAuthorConclusionMicrosoft Corporation stock already trades at about 30% above its previous peak, set in 2021. It also exhibits a lofty valuation premium on a relative basis to its Magnificent 7 and broader tech sector peers. However, we remain confident in further upside potential at Microsoft, given its expansive reach into AI opportunities across different layers of the value chain. This will continue to reinforce its unmatched streak of double-digit growth and margin expansion through both AI-driven cloud TAM expansion and software ARPU expansion, which underpins further valuation upside potential.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":299052035334296,"gmtCreate":1714021717393,"gmtModify":1714023550791,"author":{"id":"4175936170600562","authorId":"4175936170600562","name":"CraftyCats1971","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/daf44ad58eed2c435108a00e7f29314f","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4175936170600562","authorIdStr":"4175936170600562"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hey All.
