These companies were big long before the cloud was even a gleam in&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) CEO Jeff Bezos’ eye.</p>\n<p>The fact is that once you’re a tech company, you’re a tech company. Tech stocks with generations of history may be getting left for dead by go-go investors. But there may still be profits in them.</p>\n<p>I spent the last week looking at some of these older names. I wanted to know about their current plans to<i>disrupt the disrupters</i>and make investors some money.</p>\n<p>I started with the one of oldest tech companies and closed with some newer names recently left by the wayside. In every case, I asked the same question: does this company have a story about tomorrow that investors should be listening to today?</p>\n<p>Of course, I probably didn’t find the next Coinbase here. But I do think I found some solid opportunities for long-term investors<i>to make some coin</i>.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>NCR</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>NCR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>IBM</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Verizon</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Intel</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Dell</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>DELL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Baidu</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BIDU</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Alibaba</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BABA</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Tech Stocks to Consider: NCR (NCR)</b></p>\n<p>NCR was one of the first technology companies in the States and it’s&nbsp;bidding to become relevant again.</p>\n<p>Called National Cash Register, the company failed as a mainframe computer competitor to IBM, whose founding CEO had learned his trade there. Somewhat recently, though, it moved to Atlanta — the heart of the modern credit-card processing industry.</p>\n<p>Now NCR wants to be that industry’s front end. Yesterday’s cash register is today’s transaction terminal. NCR dominates the hardware used in that business, making both automated teller machines (ATMs) and credit-card-taking devices for restaurants.</p>\n<p>That as its base, NCR is becoming a fintech with a “digital first” strategy. This strategy includes&nbsp;buying&nbsp;<b>Cardtronics</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>CATM</u></b>), which has about 285,000 non-bank ATMs in the field. NCR can now upgrade those machines to provide more banking services. It will also provide services through&nbsp;JetPay&nbsp;processing, D3 mobile banking&nbsp;software&nbsp;and more.</p>\n<p>NCR stock has a market capitalization of $5.4 billion, which is still below last year’s revenue of $6.2 billion. That said, all five analysts following it on<i>Tipranks</i>now say this pick of the tech stocks is&nbsp;a buy.</p>\n<p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p>\n<p>After I wrote about IBM&nbsp;recently, the company came out with quarterly earnings that surprised some people.</p>\n<p>The numbers weren’t outstanding, but they&nbsp;showed growth. This included 21% more cloud revenue and 17% growth at Red Hat, its cloud tools operation. IBM stock has risen somewhat since, currently trading hands at around $143. Today it has a market cap of about $128 billion.</p>\n<p>Arvind Krishna has been CEO of the company for a year now. His plan is to spin off the slow-growing services business as&nbsp;Kyndryl. IBM will then focus instead on the “hybrid cloud.” This means enterprise data centers run on cloud standards with software that lets companies use public clouds as well.</p>\n<p>Over the last year, the company has bought a half-dozen small cloud companies and launched industry clouds around&nbsp;fintech,construction&nbsp;and insurance. IBM has also refocused its attention on&nbsp;artificial intelligence&nbsp;(AI). It also wants toleave behind&nbsp;Watson Health, an AI technology company that failed to meet its growth targets.</p>\n<p>I’d be more interested in IBM if it dropped its dividend. Maybe that will go to Kyndryl. It should invest more in its growing cloud business. But there are analysts who are starting to&nbsp;believe&nbsp;in this pick of the tech stocks again.</p>\n<p><b>Verizon (VZ)</b></p>\n<p>Currently, Verizon is putting $60 billion into buying and building out new 5G frequencies, betting that this&nbsp;can&nbsp;lead it back to glory&nbsp;as one of the tech stocks.</p>\n<p>Investors have yet to buy the story. VZ stock is selling for just 11.5 times earnings despite a dividend yielding 4.3%. Now analysts are worried that the cost of 5G, on top of its current $122 billion in long-term debt, could sink the company. But big cloud players like Amazon and&nbsp;<b>Microsoft</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) recently signed&nbsp;long-term deals with Verizon, based in part on those 5G assets. Verizon plans to use this innovation to become a fresh tech company again.</p>\n<p>As with IBM, this is a story that will take years to play out. Right now, though, the stock is dirt cheap. The company will even pay you to own it. So, it’s both an income stock and, potentially, a growth stock.</p>\n<p><b>Intel (INTC)</b></p>\n<p>After decades spent losing its leadership in semiconductors to foreign competitors, Intel is&nbsp;plotting a comeback. CEO Patrick Gelsinger is the man leading that return.</p>\n<p>Gelsinger’s plan is to make Intel a leading-edge foundry that can make other companies’ chips. At the same time, it will seek new ways to compete with its own designs. It’s a plan that dovetails nicely with President Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” which sees domestic production of vital products like semiconductors as&nbsp;essential to competitiveness.</p>\n<p>The key for Intel is a $20 billion investment in&nbsp;two new chipmaking plants&nbsp;in Arizona. This is part of an effort to&nbsp;match&nbsp;the process technology of&nbsp;<b>Taiwan Semiconductor</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>TSM</u></b>), a leader in the space.</p>\n<p>The investment is&nbsp;easy to justify, as prices for what Intel makes are firm. The global chip shortage is now expected to run into next year.</p>\n<p>All this makes INTC stock cheap among the tech stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.64, its dividend yield is 2.22% and its forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3.51. Meanwhile, customers like&nbsp;<b>Alphabet</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>) currently sell for about double that P/S.</p>\n<p>True, the “Cloud Czars” might be a threat, designing their own chips, but they all need foundries to make those chips. That’s what Intel is becoming — a foundry.</p>\n<p><b>Dell (DELL)</b></p>\n<p>In 2013, Dell was a laggard. It made commodity PCs that had trouble competing with Chinese models on both price and performance.</p>\n<p>But then came a huge investment from&nbsp;<b>Silver Lake</b>, which helped founder Michael Dell take the company private. Next, the new Dell bought EMC and its Vmware unit. Now, the company is bigger, better and&nbsp;more profitable&nbsp;than ever.</p>\n<p>Michael Dell’s personal fortune&nbsp;crossed $50 billionwhen the company announced it would&nbsp;spin out&nbsp;<b>Vmware</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>VMW</u></b>), of which the company owns 81%. This decision will let the company collect a dividend of over $9 billion to pay down debt. That news recently sent shares up over 10% to a high around $103.</p>\n<p>Beyond Vmware, Dell also plans to start offering its&nbsp;hardware as a service, turning what had been sales into essentially subscription income. Additionally, it has launched a&nbsp;backup service. Finally, it’s collecting&nbsp;outsourcing contracts&nbsp;from companies like&nbsp;<b>Boeing</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BA</u></b>).</p>\n<p>These actions now have analysts pounding the table for DELL stock. For example, nine of the 12 analysts following it on&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>&nbsp;are calling it&nbsp;a buy. There’s even a recent upgrade for this one of the tech stocks from Goldman Sachs.</p>\n<p><b>Baidu (BIDU)</b></p>\n<p>Once known as “China’s Google,” Baidu is&nbsp;starting to look interesting again. The company is one of its country’s biggest cloud players. What’s more, CEO Robin Li has wisely spun-out many of Baidu’s more interesting services, such as the&nbsp;<b>Iqiyi</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>IQ</u></b>) video service. This has kept Baidu out of the antitrust trap that China’s government laid for rivals.</p>\n<p>Today, BIDU stock sports a market cap of $72 billion, a forward P/S ratio of 3.78 and a forward P/E ratio of 19.98. It also faces tension on both sides of the Pacific, promising to obey the&nbsp;new rules of the government&nbsp;while also running the&nbsp;risk of being delisted&nbsp;in the United States.</p>\n<p>But it’s this weakness — made worse by&nbsp;the collapse of Archegos Capital, a big holder of BIDU stock — that may make this name a bargain. Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation Fund recently took a&nbsp;big position&nbsp;in Baidu. Smaller investors may want to follow her lead with this one of the tech stocks.</p>\n<p>After all, you don’t make money buying a stock at the top — you make it buying good companies near their lows.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba (BABA)</b></p>\n<p>A curious thing happened after China’s government announced a $2.8 billion antitrust fine against Alibaba. The shares of this one of the tech stocks&nbsp;rose.</p>\n<p>BABA stock didn’t hold all those gains, of course, trading today at around $229 per share. However, it remains one of China’s most valuable companies, with a market cap of $636 billion. It also has a significant cloud presence outside of its home market; Alibaba Cloud recently passed IBM in&nbsp;cloud market share&nbsp;and competes head-to-head with Amazon&nbsp;in the Asia-Pacific region.</p>\n<p>That said, China’s recent regulations bring the actions of Alibaba and other large tech companies into closer conformance with American regulations. For instance, Amazon couldn’t keep merchants from selling on&nbsp;<b>Walmart</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) the way Alibaba had been keeping its merchants off&nbsp;<b>JD.com</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>JD</u></b>).</p>\n<p>As with Baidu, though, this company’s short-term weakness may be a long-term opportunity. The stock is down about one-third from its highs. However, even though it’s a retailer, the company’s profitability is similar to that of&nbsp;<b>Facebook</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>FB</u></b>).</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Old Tech Stocks Plotting a New Tech Comeback</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\">\n7 Old Tech Stocks Plotting a New Tech Comeback\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-22 20:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/hot-stocks-seven-old-tech-stocks-plotting-new-tech-comeback/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Some older tech companies are offering bargains while newer ones look overpriced\nSource: Shutterstock\n\nEveryone loves the disrupters Cathie Wood buys for her ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK).

Somewhat recently, though, it moved to Atlanta — the heart of the modern credit-card processing industry.\nNow NCR wants to be that industry’s front end. Yesterday’s cash register is today’s transaction terminal. NCR dominates the hardware used in that business, making both automated teller machines (ATMs) and credit-card-taking devices for restaurants.\nThat as its base, NCR is becoming a fintech with a “digital first” strategy. This strategy includes buying Cardtronics (NASDAQ:CATM), which has about 285,000 non-bank ATMs in the field. NCR can now upgrade those machines to provide more banking services. It will also provide services through JetPay processing, D3 mobile banking software and more.\nNCR stock has a market capitalization of $5.4 billion, which is still below last year’s revenue of $6.2 billion. That said, all five analysts following it onTipranksnow say this pick of the tech stocks is a buy.\nIBM (IBM)\nAfter I wrote about IBM recently, the company came out with quarterly earnings that surprised some people.\nThe numbers weren’t outstanding, but they showed growth. This included 21% more cloud revenue and 17% growth at Red Hat, its cloud tools operation. IBM stock has risen somewhat since, currently trading hands at around $143. Today it has a market cap of about $128 billion.\nArvind Krishna has been CEO of the company for a year now. His plan is to spin off the slow-growing services business as Kyndryl. IBM will then focus instead on the “hybrid cloud.” This means enterprise data centers run on cloud standards with software that lets companies use public clouds as well.\nOver the last year, the company has bought a half-dozen small cloud companies and launched industry clouds around fintech,construction and insurance. IBM has also refocused its attention on artificial intelligence (AI). It also wants toleave behind Watson Health, an AI technology company that failed to meet its growth targets.\nI’d be more interested in IBM if it dropped its dividend. Maybe that will go to Kyndryl. It should invest more in its growing cloud business. But there are analysts who are starting to believe in this pick of the tech stocks again.\nVerizon (VZ)\nCurrently, Verizon is putting $60 billion into buying and building out new 5G frequencies, betting that this can lead it back to glory as one of the tech stocks.\nInvestors have yet to buy the story. VZ stock is selling for just 11.5 times earnings despite a dividend yielding 4.3%. Now analysts are worried that the cost of 5G, on top of its current $122 billion in long-term debt, could sink the company. But big cloud players like Amazon and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) recently signed long-term deals with Verizon, based in part on those 5G assets. Verizon plans to use this innovation to become a fresh tech company again.\nAs with IBM, this is a story that will take years to play out. Right now, though, the stock is dirt cheap. The company will even pay you to own it. So, it’s both an income stock and, potentially, a growth stock.\nIntel (INTC)\nAfter decades spent losing its leadership in semiconductors to foreign competitors, Intel is plotting a comeback. CEO Patrick Gelsinger is the man leading that return.\nGelsinger’s plan is to make Intel a leading-edge foundry that can make other companies’ chips. At the same time, it will seek new ways to compete with its own designs. It’s a plan that dovetails nicely with President Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” which sees domestic production of vital products like semiconductors as essential to competitiveness.\nThe key for Intel is a $20 billion investment in two new chipmaking plants in Arizona. This is part of an effort to match the process technology of Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM), a leader in the space.\nThe investment is easy to justify, as prices for what Intel makes are firm. The global chip shortage is now expected to run into next year.\nAll this makes INTC stock cheap among the tech stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.64, its dividend yield is 2.22% and its forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3.51. Meanwhile, customers like Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) currently sell for about double that P/S.\nTrue, the “Cloud Czars” might be a threat, designing their own chips, but they all need foundries to make those chips. That’s what Intel is becoming — a foundry.\nDell (DELL)\nIn 2013, Dell was a laggard. It made commodity PCs that had trouble competing with Chinese models on both price and performance.\nBut then came a huge investment from Silver Lake, which helped founder Michael Dell take the company private. Next, the new Dell bought EMC and its Vmware unit. Now, the company is bigger, better and more profitable than ever.\nMichael Dell’s personal fortune crossed $50 billionwhen the company announced it would spin out Vmware (NYSE:VMW), of which the company owns 81%. This decision will let the company collect a dividend of over $9 billion to pay down debt. That news recently sent shares up over 10% to a high around $103.\nBeyond Vmware, Dell also plans to start offering its hardware as a service, turning what had been sales into essentially subscription income. Additionally, it has launched a backup service. Finally, it’s collecting outsourcing contracts from companies like Boeing (NYSE:BA).\nThese actions now have analysts pounding the table for DELL stock. For example, nine of the 12 analysts following it on Tipranks are calling it a buy. There’s even a recent upgrade for this one of the tech stocks from Goldman Sachs.\nBaidu (BIDU)\nOnce known as “China’s Google,” Baidu is starting to look interesting again. The company is one of its country’s biggest cloud players. What’s more, CEO Robin Li has wisely spun-out many of Baidu’s more interesting services, such as the Iqiyi (NASDAQ:IQ) video service. This has kept Baidu out of the antitrust trap that China’s government laid for rivals.\nToday, BIDU stock sports a market cap of $72 billion, a forward P/S ratio of 3.78 and a forward P/E ratio of 19.98. It also faces tension on both sides of the Pacific, promising to obey the new rules of the government while also running the risk of being delisted in the United States.\nBut it’s this weakness — made worse by the collapse of Archegos Capital, a big holder of BIDU stock — that may make this name a bargain. Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation Fund recently took a big position in Baidu. Smaller investors may want to follow her lead with this one of the tech stocks.\nAfter all, you don’t make money buying a stock at the top — you make it buying good companies near their lows.\nAlibaba (BABA)\nA curious thing happened after China’s government announced a $2.8 billion antitrust fine against Alibaba. The shares of this one of the tech stocks rose.\nBABA stock didn’t hold all those gains, of course, trading today at around $229 per share. However, it remains one of China’s most valuable companies, with a market cap of $636 billion. It also has a significant cloud presence outside of its home market; Alibaba Cloud recently passed IBM in cloud market share and competes head-to-head with Amazon in the Asia-Pacific region.\nThat said, China’s recent regulations bring the actions of Alibaba and other large tech companies into closer conformance with American regulations. For instance, Amazon couldn’t keep merchants from selling on Walmart (NYSE:WMT) the way Alibaba had been keeping its merchants off JD.com (NASDAQ:JD).\nAs with Baidu, though, this company’s short-term weakness may be a long-term opportunity. The stock is down about one-third from its highs. However, even though it’s a retailer, the company’s profitability is similar to that of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":434,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378876985,"gmtCreate":1619018641047,"gmtModify":1704718445094,"author":{"id":"3563493932971824","authorId":"3563493932971824","name":"JMA","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563493932971824","authorIdStr":"3563493932971824"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"article itself is a good read, but translation is a joke.","listText":"article itself is a good read, but translation is a joke.","text":"article itself is a good read, but translation is a joke.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378876985","repostId":"1174051099","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1174051099","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618998028,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174051099?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-21 17:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Despite Short-Term Pain, Baidu Stock Is a Buy for Long-Term Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174051099","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"BIDU's investments in artificial intelligence and electric vehicles make it attractive\nBaidu (NASDAQ","content":"<p>BIDU's investments in artificial intelligence and electric vehicles make it attractive</p>\n<p><b>Baidu</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BIDU</u></b>) saw its shares surge to an all-time high of $354.82 in February.

RDY.</p>\n<h3><strong>Here are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong><em>4 Emerging Market Stocks to Tap 2021 Economic Rebound</em></strong></h3>\n<p>The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or OECD recently came out with a forecast for 2021, which has kept emerging-market stock watchers buoyant for the coming year. The prediction says that the global economy, which is expected to recover to the pre-pandemic level in 2021, will be primarily led by strong recoveries in emerging economies, particularly Asian nations like China, Indonesia and South Korea based on their efficient pandemic handling.</p>\n<p>India, which faced a severe GDP contraction of an estimated 9.9% this year, is expected to rebound pretty well in 2021 on a projected recovery rate of 7.9% banking on suitable execution of fiscal support, which should lead to slow but gradual recovery of the job market. Although the OECD projection remained insipid for Brazil (from an estimated 6% slash in 2020 to only a projected 2.6% GDP growth for 2021), on closer examination, some economists do offer a glimmer of hope banking on the fact that Brazil’s domestic demand strongly recovered in the third quarter ( real GDP growth was 7.7%).</p>\n<p>Russia’s GDP reduction in 2020 was broadly in line with the global contraction (down 4.3%). This is expected to see a rebound of 2.8% in the coming year. Outside the OECD members, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines are expected to prove as the big movers of 2021.</p>\n<h3><strong>2020 FDI Synopsis of Emerging Markets</strong></h3>\n<p>The above data and projections are a bit at odds to what exactly the emerging market has gone through during the pandemic so far. Apart from China, all the heavyweight emerging economies faced significant downturn in this period despite these countries’ anti-crisis efforts in the form of monetary and fiscal measures.</p>\n<p>Per UNCTAD’s (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) Oct 27-published report, global foreign direct investment (FDI) flow in the first half of 2020 fell 49% year over year due to the unprecedented economic rout. Amid the pandemic, lockdowns, restricted trades, supply disruptions and economic slowdown, multinational enterprises started to restrain from opting for new FDI projects investment projects.</p>\n<p>FDI flow to developing economies declined 16% in the first half of 2020. Flows to economies in transition were down 81% due to a strong decline in the Russian Federation.  In Russia, the ongoing geo- political risks, combined with uncertainty around the second wave of the pandemic and limited amount of anti-crisis stimulus are expected to have hit hard FDI investors’ sentiment.</p>\n<p>As investment in China remained robust, the percentage decline in Asia was overall decent (down 12%). Another emerging Asian economy, India, following 20% FDI growth in 2019, was initially expected to experience an FDI free fall through 2020. However, a per different local news sources, banking on relaxed FDI norms, during April-September 2020, India attracted FDI worth $7.12 billion from the United States while $8.30 billion of foreign inflows came from Singapore.</p>\n<p>However, FDI was 28% lower in Africa and 25% lower in Latin America and the Caribbean.</p>\n<h3><strong>2021 FDI Prospects Bullish</strong></h3>\n<p>According to UNCTAD, despite the 2020 drop, FDI remains the most important source of external finance for developing countries. UNCTAD’s two biggest indicators of future FDI — cross-border acquisitions and green-field investment projects roadmap for 2021 — seem to be quite bright at this moment. Although the execution depends primarily on a successful rollout and phase wise distribution of vaccination across these highly populated regions, the outlook for emerging economies remains upbeat.</p>\n<p>As stated earlier, banking on the quickest recovery from the pandemic, China’s 2020 FDI inflow report itself was extremely impressive. China’s Ministry of Commerce data says (as published in China Briefing), FDI inflow into China rose 5.2% in the first nine months of 2020. There were 22,602 foreign-invested enterprises (FIE) having newly established by the end of August. In September alone, FDI inflows into the country were up 25.1% year over year.

Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd BCAUY, Baidu, Inc. BIDU, Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. IMPUY and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. RDY.\nHere are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:\n4 Emerging Market Stocks to Tap 2021 Economic Rebound\nThe Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or OECD recently came out with a forecast for 2021, which has kept emerging-market stock watchers buoyant for the coming year. The prediction says that the global economy, which is expected to recover to the pre-pandemic level in 2021, will be primarily led by strong recoveries in emerging economies, particularly Asian nations like China, Indonesia and South Korea based on their efficient pandemic handling.\nIndia, which faced a severe GDP contraction of an estimated 9.9% this year, is expected to rebound pretty well in 2021 on a projected recovery rate of 7.9% banking on suitable execution of fiscal support, which should lead to slow but gradual recovery of the job market. Although the OECD projection remained insipid for Brazil (from an estimated 6% slash in 2020 to only a projected 2.6% GDP growth for 2021), on closer examination, some economists do offer a glimmer of hope banking on the fact that Brazil’s domestic demand strongly recovered in the third quarter ( real GDP growth was 7.7%).\nRussia’s GDP reduction in 2020 was broadly in line with the global contraction (down 4.3%). This is expected to see a rebound of 2.8% in the coming year. Outside the OECD members, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines are expected to prove as the big movers of 2021.\n2020 FDI Synopsis of Emerging Markets\nThe above data and projections are a bit at odds to what exactly the emerging market has gone through during the pandemic so far. Apart from China, all the heavyweight emerging economies faced significant downturn in this period despite these countries’ anti-crisis efforts in the form of monetary and fiscal measures.\nPer UNCTAD’s (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) Oct 27-published report, global foreign direct investment (FDI) flow in the first half of 2020 fell 49% year over year due to the unprecedented economic rout. Amid the pandemic, lockdowns, restricted trades, supply disruptions and economic slowdown, multinational enterprises started to restrain from opting for new FDI projects investment projects.\nFDI flow to developing economies declined 16% in the first half of 2020. Flows to economies in transition were down 81% due to a strong decline in the Russian Federation.  In Russia, the ongoing geo- political risks, combined with uncertainty around the second wave of the pandemic and limited amount of anti-crisis stimulus are expected to have hit hard FDI investors’ sentiment.\nAs investment in China remained robust, the percentage decline in Asia was overall decent (down 12%). Another emerging Asian economy, India, following 20% FDI growth in 2019, was initially expected to experience an FDI free fall through 2020. However, a per different local news sources, banking on relaxed FDI norms, during April-September 2020, India attracted FDI worth $7.12 billion from the United States while $8.30 billion of foreign inflows came from Singapore.\nHowever, FDI was 28% lower in Africa and 25% lower in Latin America and the Caribbean.\n2021 FDI Prospects Bullish\nAccording to UNCTAD, despite the 2020 drop, FDI remains the most important source of external finance for developing countries. UNCTAD’s two biggest indicators of future FDI — cross-border acquisitions and green-field investment projects roadmap for 2021 — seem to be quite bright at this moment. Although the execution depends primarily on a successful rollout and phase wise distribution of vaccination across these highly populated regions, the outlook for emerging economies remains upbeat.\nAs stated earlier, banking on the quickest recovery from the pandemic, China’s 2020 FDI inflow report itself was extremely impressive. China’s Ministry of Commerce data says (as published in China Briefing), FDI inflow into China rose 5.2% in the first nine months of 2020. There were 22,602 foreign-invested enterprises (FIE) having newly established by the end of August. In September alone, FDI inflows into the country were up 25.1% year over year. Companies like ExxoMobil, BMW and Toyota increased their investment in China in 2020. Economists are of the belief that with gradual recovery through 2021, this trend is expected to see a further jump.\nIndia is expected to remain a happy hunting ground for foreign investors through 2021 banking on cheap labor cost and low corporate tax (15%). Nomura recently stated India to be the fastest growing Asian economy in 2021 with a projected growth rate of 9.9% (published in India Briefing), exceeding OECD’s projection.  In this regard, recently the government of India cleared a list of firms including Apple’s three major manufacturing partners — Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, along with Samsung for a $143 billion Make-in-India Plan. \nBrazil too is expected to show a better picture in terms of FDI inflow the next year. Data published in The Street report says, there was a significant inflow of funds in the external financial account in October and November for investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. However, whether this recovery will continue or not depends on the extent to which Brazil regains its attractiveness for foreign investors, banking on its upcoming fiscal and monetary agenda.\nOur Choices\nAdding stocks from these countries would make for a prudent choice.
