Apple Vs. Microsoft Stock: Which Is The Better Buy?

Summary Expansion in emerging markets and iPhone upgrades by current customers should drive continued growth for Apple. Microsoft has a long, robust growth runway in Azure, and its investments in gaming will likely bear fruit.

Apple Stock: Bear vs. Bull

KEY POINTS Apple’s stock has soared over the past decade. The bears believe Apple's dependence on the iPhone, its unclear plans for the future, and its premium valuation will limit its gains. The bulls believe the expansion of its services ecosystem, high brand loyalty, and fortress balance sheet still make it a solid investment. Can the tech titan keep generating impressive returns? Apple(AAPL2.09%) has been a resilient investment for long-term investors. It generated a total return of about 790% over the past 10 years, which crushed the S&P 500's total return of roughly 280%. That growth was initially driven by robust sales of iPhones, iPads, and Macs. However, Apple continued to launch new products -- including the Apple Watch, AirPods, and HomePod -- while expanding its

Alibaba: Valuation Unjustifiably Low

SummaryAlibaba undoubtedly suffered severe profit speed bumps in recent past years.However, it coped with these challenges successfully in my view, and I see even better days lie ahead now due to several immediate catalysts.Regulatory pressure and COVID restrictions are abating.Thanks to a humongous cash position and strong cash flow, I see the company well-positioned to resume growth once the macroeconomic parameters improve.Yet, its P/E is only in the single-digit range once the cash position is adjusted, simply unjustifiable in my view.Investment thesisAlibaba$Alibaba(BABA)$ recently released its 2022 December quarter earnings.

SummaryFortinet missed revenue consensus in 2Q and provided weak revenue guidance in FY2023, leading to a 25% selloff and concerns about growth outlook.The company's product revenue saw a substantial decline, indicating a normalization from the pandemic-driven surge.The management also attributed this growth slowdown to shortened billings duration and the delay of large deals to the next quarter.The stock's valuation remains relatively high compared to peers and market indexes, but the adherence to the software's 40-Rule justifies it to some extent.da-kukInvestment ThesisFortinet $Fortinet(FTNT)$ not only missed the 2Q FY2023 revenue consensus but also provided a weak FY2023 revenue guidance.

Tencent Defies Regulator Warning with Metaverse Patent Application

Key Insights: Tencent goes deeper into the Metaverse with new patent applications for virtual concerts. In 2020, Tencent bought a stake in U.S virtual concert platform Wave in a bid to dominate the virtual concert stage. Chinese regulatory scrutiny could leave the Chinese music industry in the wake of Metaverse-friendly nations. Over the last few months, the Chinese government and the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) have been critical ofNFTsand the Metaverse. The shift in focus follows last summer’s ban on Bitcoin (BTC) mining.

Apple Stock: JPMorgan Lays Out the Bull and Bear Case

Reflecting the market’s 2022 woes,$Apple(AAPL)$ shares sit 8% into the red year-to-date, despite reporting what JPMorgan’s Samik Chatterjee calls a “robust” F1Q earnings report. With the continued macro disruptions taking center stage, it is hard to tell what the rest of the year has in store. Nevertheless, Chatterjee set out to gauge current sentiment on all things Apple, holding a recent buy-side survey. While it only had 15 participants, which the analyst concedes is “arguably not the best sample size,” Chatterjee thinks the survey can provide an indication of “where the Bull and Bear case for Apple lies in relation to FY22 performance and what will be the drivers of performance for the shares.” Let’s take a look at some of the findings. For one,
