Some of the highlights included the doubling of services and wearables revenues in five years, the 5G super cycle, the greenfield Apple Car opportunity, and an acceleration in share repurchases.Now, I look at the flip side of the coin.

from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DELL\">Dell Technologies</a> is giving a badly needed boost to technology shares generally, and to enterprise hardware stocks in particular.</p><p>But there are some particular elements of the Dell story to keep in mind that don&#39;t necessarily translate to other players -- and Dell investors should be aware that the road gets tougher from here.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DELL\">Dell</a> beat Street expectations for the quarter on every measure. Revenue was $26.1 billion, up 16% from a year ago, and well ahead of both the company&#39;s guidance range of $24.5 billion to $25.7 billion, and the Street consensus at $25 billion. Likewise, non-GAAP profits of $1.84 a share blew past both Dell&#39;s own forecast of $1.25 to $1.50 a share, and Street consensus at $1.39.</p><p>Things looked even better under the surface. Infrastructure Solutions Group, which sells storage, servers, and networking gear to enterprise customers, had 16% revenue growth, a big beat over the Street consensus forecast for 5% growth. That was driven by 9% growth in storage, and 22% growth in servers and networking, both above expectations.</p><p>Client Solutions Group, Dell&#39;s PC business, grew 17%, with 22% in commercial PCs partially offset by just 3% growth in consumer PCs, a relatively small part of Dell&#39;s portfolio.</p><p>The strong results in enterprise hardware were a nice contrast with disappointing recent earnings points from both networking giant  Cisco <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CSCO\">$(CSCO)$</a> and the enterprise storage company  Nutanix <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NTNX\">$(NTNX)$</a>.</p><p>And the strength in PCs came despite widely acknowledged slowing in the overall PC market, as Dell takes market share with its focus on PCs for the business market.</p><p>Dell saved one of the best parts of the story for yesterday afternoon&#39;s conference call with analysts, substantially increasing its outlook for the January 2023 fiscal year.</p><p>Dell now sees revenue growth for the year of 6%, with non-GAAP earnings growth of 12% -- that is well above its previous forecast of 3% to 4% revenue growth and 6% profit growth. And the company&#39;s July quarter guidance -- which calls for 10% revenue growth and profits of $1.55 to $1.70 a share -- beat Street estimates on both measures.</p><p>There were other positives. Dell bought back $1.5 billion of stock in the quarter, close to 5% of the company&#39;s market cap. Dell had instituted a $5 billion repurchase plan two quarters ago, following the recent spinout of its stake in VMware. As part of that transaction, VMware issued a special dividend to its largest holders, i.e., mostly to Dell itself, with most of the cash targeted at reducing Dell&#39;s debt load.</p><p>Dell also got a chunk of cash from the recent $4 billion sale of its former Boomi Technologies software unit to private-equity investors. CFO Tom Sweet said Dell will continue to buy back shares, but the pace will slow.</p><p>Dell spent almost no time on the earnings call talking about Russia and Ukraine. In an interview with Barron&#39;s, Sweet noted that the company has stopped doing business in both countries, where Dell had been generating about $1 billion a year in revenue combined.</p><p>Meanwhile, Sweet said China&#39;s recent Covid-related shutdowns of manufacturing sites in Shanghai was an issue, with backlog running at higher-than-normal levels for both the PC and enterprise hardware businesses.</p><p>Sweet said that the company&#39;s Latitude notebook PC line is manufactured in that area, and components used in those products and others are produced there as well. But Dell appears to have navigated the supply-chain issues more nimbly than some other enterprise hardware players.</p><p>As for macroeconomic issues, Sweet says that &#34;there are a lot of conflicting signals.&#34;</p><p>He notes that input costs are rising, with logistics and transportation costs a particular issue, and component shortages remain a problem. He expects those elements to continue to be &#34;a significant drag&#34; to margins.</p><p>Dell has raised prices on many products to compensate, he says, while noting that &#34;if you price too high, you slow down demand.&#34; Sweet sees some margin compression ahead, as well as headwinds from unfavorable currency exchange rates.</p><p>The Street was pleased with the numbers, particularly given recent stumbles by other hardware players.</p><p>&#34;It is very clear Dell is gaining share and executing a challenging supply chain environment in a very impressive manner,&#34; Barclays analyst Jim Suva writes in a research note, while repeating his Buy rating and $65 target price. &#34;The handoff from consumer IT spending to corporate IT spending helps Dell and we are at the early innings of this handoff.&#34;</p><p>Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani, who had recommended buying Dell shares heading into the report, writes in a research note that while the guidance was better than the Street had feared, it still looks conservative, implying flat year-over-year sales growth in the second half of the year. He thinks that the company&#39;s elevated backlog and continued tailwinds in the form of strong infrastructure demand should provide further upside from here. He keeps his Outperform rating, and lifts his target price to $63, from $60.</p><p>The stock is hardly risk-free, with growth certain to slow measurably from here. But statistically, Dell remains one of the cheapest tech stocks, trading for 7 times expected current year profits and roughly 0.3 times projected sales -- and the company has a 3.3% dividend yield.</p><p>On Friday, the strong Dell results triggered healthy gains across the hardware sector. Hewlett Packard Enterprise <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HPE\">$(HPE)$</a>, HP Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HPQ\">$(HPQ)$</a>, Pure Storage <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSTG\">$(PSTG)$</a>, and NetApp <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NTAP\">$(NTAP)$</a>, all of which report earnings next week, have all rallied 3%-4% on Friday.</p><p>Apple <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a>, IBM <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">$(IBM)$</a>, Arista Networks <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ANET\">$(ANET)$</a>, Cisco (CSCO), Western Digital <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WDC.UK\">$(WDC.UK)$</a>, and Seagate <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STX\">$(STX)$</a> are all trading higher as well.</p><p>Dell shares rallied 12.86% on Friday, the stock&#39;s biggest one-day move in more than two years, and the second-biggest in the company&#39;s history as a public company. That move has reduced Dell&#39;s year-to-date decline to 12%.</p></body></html>","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>Dell Scored a Big Beat, But It Will Get Tougher From Here</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\">\nDell Scored a Big Beat, But It Will Get Tougher From Here\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-05-28 12:26</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>The strong April quarter earnings report from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DELL\">Dell Technologies</a> is giving a badly needed boost to technology shares generally, and to enterprise hardware stocks in particular.</p><p>But there are some particular elements of the Dell story to keep in mind that don&#39;t necessarily translate to other players -- and Dell investors should be aware that the road gets tougher from here.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DELL\">Dell</a> beat Street expectations for the quarter on every measure.

Revenue was $26.1 billion, up 16% from a year ago, and well ahead of both the company's guidance range of $24.5 billion to $25.7 billion, and the Street consensus at $25 billion. Likewise, non-GAAP profits of $1.84 a share blew past both Dell's own forecast of $1.25 to $1.50 a share, and Street consensus at $1.39.Things looked even better under the surface. Infrastructure Solutions Group, which sells storage, servers, and networking gear to enterprise customers, had 16% revenue growth, a big beat over the Street consensus forecast for 5% growth. That was driven by 9% growth in storage, and 22% growth in servers and networking, both above expectations.Client Solutions Group, Dell's PC business, grew 17%, with 22% in commercial PCs partially offset by just 3% growth in consumer PCs, a relatively small part of Dell's portfolio.The strong results in enterprise hardware were a nice contrast with disappointing recent earnings points from both networking giant  Cisco $(CSCO)$ and the enterprise storage company  Nutanix $(NTNX)$.And the strength in PCs came despite widely acknowledged slowing in the overall PC market, as Dell takes market share with its focus on PCs for the business market.Dell saved one of the best parts of the story for yesterday afternoon's conference call with analysts, substantially increasing its outlook for the January 2023 fiscal year.Dell now sees revenue growth for the year of 6%, with non-GAAP earnings growth of 12% -- that is well above its previous forecast of 3% to 4% revenue growth and 6% profit growth. And the company's July quarter guidance -- which calls for 10% revenue growth and profits of $1.55 to $1.70 a share -- beat Street estimates on both measures.There were other positives. Dell bought back $1.5 billion of stock in the quarter, close to 5% of the company's market cap. Dell had instituted a $5 billion repurchase plan two quarters ago, following the recent spinout of its stake in VMware. As part of that transaction, VMware issued a special dividend to its largest holders, i.e., mostly to Dell itself, with most of the cash targeted at reducing Dell's debt load.Dell also got a chunk of cash from the recent $4 billion sale of its former Boomi Technologies software unit to private-equity investors. CFO Tom Sweet said Dell will continue to buy back shares, but the pace will slow.Dell spent almost no time on the earnings call talking about Russia and Ukraine. In an interview with Barron's, Sweet noted that the company has stopped doing business in both countries, where Dell had been generating about $1 billion a year in revenue combined.Meanwhile, Sweet said China's recent Covid-related shutdowns of manufacturing sites in Shanghai was an issue, with backlog running at higher-than-normal levels for both the PC and enterprise hardware businesses.Sweet said that the company's Latitude notebook PC line is manufactured in that area, and components used in those products and others are produced there as well. But Dell appears to have navigated the supply-chain issues more nimbly than some other enterprise hardware players.As for macroeconomic issues, Sweet says that \"there are a lot of conflicting signals.\"He notes that input costs are rising, with logistics and transportation costs a particular issue, and component shortages remain a problem. He expects those elements to continue to be \"a significant drag\" to margins.Dell has raised prices on many products to compensate, he says, while noting that \"if you price too high, you slow down demand.\" Sweet sees some margin compression ahead, as well as headwinds from unfavorable currency exchange rates.The Street was pleased with the numbers, particularly given recent stumbles by other hardware players.\"It is very clear Dell is gaining share and executing a challenging supply chain environment in a very impressive manner,\" Barclays analyst Jim Suva writes in a research note, while repeating his Buy rating and $65 target price. \"The handoff from consumer IT spending to corporate IT spending helps Dell and we are at the early innings of this handoff.\"Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani, who had recommended buying Dell shares heading into the report, writes in a research note that while the guidance was better than the Street had feared, it still looks conservative, implying flat year-over-year sales growth in the second half of the year. He thinks that the company's elevated backlog and continued tailwinds in the form of strong infrastructure demand should provide further upside from here. He keeps his Outperform rating, and lifts his target price to $63, from $60.The stock is hardly risk-free, with growth certain to slow measurably from here. But statistically, Dell remains one of the cheapest tech stocks, trading for 7 times expected current year profits and roughly 0.3 times projected sales -- and the company has a 3.3% dividend yield.On Friday, the strong Dell results triggered healthy gains across the hardware sector. Hewlett Packard Enterprise $(HPE)$, HP Inc. $(HPQ)$, Pure Storage $(PSTG)$, and NetApp $(NTAP)$, all of which report earnings next week, have all rallied 3%-4% on Friday.Apple $(AAPL)$, IBM $(IBM)$, Arista Networks $(ANET)$, Cisco (CSCO), Western Digital $(WDC.UK)$, and Seagate $(STX)$ are all trading higher as well.Dell shares rallied 12.86% on Friday, the stock's biggest one-day move in more than two years, and the second-biggest in the company's history as a public company. That move has reduced Dell's year-to-date decline to 12%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022726558,"gmtCreate":1653587393974,"gmtModify":1676535308941,"author":{"id":"3574915032906549","authorId":"3574915032906549","name":"Drannek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a43a109f2acd3580907a53160ba1f98f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574915032906549","authorIdStr":"3574915032906549"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9022726558","repostId":"2238856736","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2238856736","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1653579019,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2238856736?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-26 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bear Market Playbook: Cash, Patience And Vigilance","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2238856736","media":"MoneyShow","summary":"SummaryOn the surface, the correction has only started getting to the broad indices.

It will gradually become clear whether we’re entering a multi-year bear market or simply enduring a deep correction within the market’s many-decade upward trajectory.</p><p>The reason you have to maintain some optimism is that the movement of fear and negative sentiment from <i>high</i> to <i>neutral</i> can see markets rally a lot, long before sentiment is actually bullish. On the positive side, as we have noted, some real bargains are starting to appear and we are refining our buy list of companies that we believe have strong long-term prospects.</p><p>However, the coming bull market, when it emerges, is unlikely to be a QE-driven bull market like what prevailed from 2009 to 2021. Because it will be based more on economic, revenue, and earnings growth, it will be choppier, more volatile, and more company-, sector-, and industry-specific than the previous bull market.</p><p>We believe elements of the commodity complex, such as food and battery minerals, will be attractive. Future growth areas - all under the rubric of “growth at a reasonable price” - will include software, disruptive technologies, semiconductors, fintech and defi, and cybersecurity, among others.</p><p>When investing in innovation, focus on influential, substantive innovations - innovations that most deeply affect standards of living, and are important to further real-world technological and economic progress. In short, not mere novelty items; this is where patience might be required.</p><p>Moving forward, strong margins and balance sheets are likely to draw more attention than they did in an era where investors focused somewhat myopically on revenue growth.</p><p>We believe high inflation in food, clothing, shelter, fuel, and other consumer necessities, combined with wages not keeping pace with inflation, will weaken discretionary consumer spending. Supply chains will remain a point of difficulty and concern, and the process of reshoring and the transition will continue for years.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1653567943406","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>Bear Market Playbook: Cash, Patience And Vigilance</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\">\nBear Market Playbook: Cash, Patience And Vigilance\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-26 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.moneyshow.com/articles/dailyguru-58807/bear-market-playbook-cash-patience-and-vigilance/?scode=044063><strong>MoneyShow</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryOn the surface, the correction has only started getting to the broad indices.

On the positive side, as we have noted, some real bargains are starting to appear and we are refining our buy list of companies that we believe have strong long-term prospects.However, the coming bull market, when it emerges, is unlikely to be a QE-driven bull market like what prevailed from 2009 to 2021. Because it will be based more on economic, revenue, and earnings growth, it will be choppier, more volatile, and more company-, sector-, and industry-specific than the previous bull market.We believe elements of the commodity complex, such as food and battery minerals, will be attractive. Future growth areas - all under the rubric of “growth at a reasonable price” - will include software, disruptive technologies, semiconductors, fintech and defi, and cybersecurity, among others.When investing in innovation, focus on influential, substantive innovations - innovations that most deeply affect standards of living, and are important to further real-world technological and economic progress. In short, not mere novelty items; this is where patience might be required.Moving forward, strong margins and balance sheets are likely to draw more attention than they did in an era where investors focused somewhat myopically on revenue growth.We believe high inflation in food, clothing, shelter, fuel, and other consumer necessities, combined with wages not keeping pace with inflation, will weaken discretionary consumer spending. Supply chains will remain a point of difficulty and concern, and the process of reshoring and the transition will continue for years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":371,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022726627,"gmtCreate":1653587351969,"gmtModify":1676535308940,"author":{"id":"3574915032906549","authorId":"3574915032906549","name":"Drannek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a43a109f2acd3580907a53160ba1f98f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574915032906549","authorIdStr":"3574915032906549"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for sharing","listText":"Thanks for sharing","text":"Thanks for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9022726627","repostId":"2238689001","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2238689001","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1653571115,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2238689001?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-26 21:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir Is Getting Into Garbage in Partnership With Rubicon Technologies","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2238689001","media":"Barrons","summary":"The data analytics giant Palantir Technologies is moving into crunching numbers on trash.Palantir (t","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The data analytics giant Palantir Technologies is moving into crunching numbers on trash.</p><p>Palantir (ticker: PLTR) announced a partnership Thursday with Rubicon Technologies, a relatively new software and solutions provider to the waste and recycling industry.</p><p>Rubicon wants to be the operating system for the waste industry, providing haulers with software and connectivity solutions to help make them more efficient, as well as data-collection solutions for cities and companies generating garbage.</p><p>Rubicon believes the waste industry has too much, well, waste and is ripe for disruption.

It’s now being led by sectors that had been very unlikely leaders — like energy and industrials.\nAs the world changed, so did the market. A new group of younger investors became much more active in individual stocks and options.\nStrategists say the market is now subject to a much more volatile economy than it has been used to, and tech could continue to lag some of the more cyclical stocks.\n\nA year after the pandemic forced the nation into a shutdown, the stock market has been overhauled in ways that Wall Street never imagined.\nLast March, stocks plunged as the world faced the frightening spread of a virus many had thought would never make its way to the United States. The S&P 500 lost more than 15% in a searing decline on March 11 and 12. The index plummeted more than 30% by March 23.\nPerhaps even more surprising than the fall was the market rebound that followed, powered by the twin booster engines of monetary and fiscal policy, including a rollout of programs from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 is up nearly 80% from the low that March and just hit a fresh record on Thursday.\n“The policy response was meaningful and significant, and as a result prevented what could have been a far worse outcome,” said Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citi.\nThe virus was a great equalizer. Much of the country was learning to work and attend school from home. Meanwhile, restaurants, gyms and other places where people gathered were closed or changed dramatically.\nBut America adapted, and so did investors.\nThey ran up tech stocks that benefitted from a homebound populace, including Netflix,Zoom,Amazon and Peloton.\n\nWhen the economy began to reopen, money moved into recovery-themed stocks, including energy, industrials, materials and financials. These sectors now lead the market, displacing high-flying tech shares.\nAfter years of a steadily growing economy, the pandemic resulted in a shocking decline in gross domestic product.A sharp rebound followed, aided by easy monetary policy and blasts of fiscal spending.\nThe $1.9 trillion stimulus package,signed into law by President Joe Biden on Thursday, will be rolling out amid an uneven recovery. The service sector had never before led the economy into recession; it is the last to come back. About 10 million people are still unemployed.\n“Economic volatility is here to stay...and that is different than the last 30 years,” said Julian Emanuel, head of equities and derivatives strategy at BTIG.\n“There’s no escaping that when you think about the combination of [GDP] being down 31% for one quarter and up 33% in the next quarter,” he said.\n“Applying record stimulus, the equivalent of about 36.2% of GDP in the subsequent year...it’s just going to be an environment where the quarter-to-quarter swings are going to be much greater than they were,” Emanuel added.\nNew investors\nDuring the past year, a new cohort of retail investors — many using no-fee online trading platforms —became an important part of the market.\nGoldman Sachs expects households to be the biggest source of demand for stocks this year, with $350 billion to flow into the market, compared to $300 billion from corporations.\n“It’s newer and younger investors who are embracing speculation like never before, as evidenced by call options volumes that are multiples of prior years’ record volumes,” said Emanuel of BTIG.\nInvestors are also using record amounts of margin debt to finance their investments.\nFor now, the most speculative activity is focused on meme stocks, Emanuel said.\n\nGameStop is the poster child for this volatility, a stock that was given up for dead by many but embraced by a group of retail investors.\nInstead of calling their brokers, these traders turned to to the internet. WallStreetBets, a forum on Reddit, became a powerful force in market activity.\n“The question is will it end up like it did at the end of the rally in 1999 and 2000,” said Emanuel of BTIG. “Could it end up in a very strong parabolic-like surge across the entire stock market?”\nCiti’s Levkovich said investors tend to sell momentum as much as they buy momentum.\n“The moves we’ve seen in stock prices, where they can double or triple in a day,” he said. “The incredible issuance of SPACs, the crypto stuff — a lot of these are signs of too much liquidity generating speculative behavior.”\nNonetheless, the market rewards have been huge.Tesla, for instance, is up 630% since March 23, while Etsy is up more than 520%,Freeport-McMoRan 540% and L Brands is up 500%.\nStocks have also not really been challenged by bonds for investment dollars, even with the recent rise in yields.\n“Why as a 20- or 30-year-old would you want to buy a fixed income investment if the expectation for inflation is 2% and the Fed is telling you, it’s not going to stop with liquidity until inflation is sustainably above 2%,” said Emanuel of BTIG. “Because real yields are so low, it continues to be a good time for equity investment.”\nThe benchmark 10-year Treasury yield has moved higher lately, as the promise of the latest fiscal stimulus package has boosted the outlook for growth.\nEconomists expect the economy could grow by 6% this year. The 10-year yield, which moves opposite price, was at about 1.53% Thursday, well off its year low of 0.50% but below its recent high of 1.61%.\nMarket now in mid-cycle\nSam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, expects the market to move higher this year.\nHe also says it’s due for a bigger correction than the market sell-offs that took place from mid-February to last week. In that period, the S&P 500 at the time sold off close to 6%, while the Nasdaq fell more than 10%.\n“When I look at all the historical facts that say stocks are overpriced, it gets me scared,” said Stovall. “The S&P market cap is 140% of nominal GDP and the S&P average is 62%.”\nThe market has also had only one sizeable correction since it took off in March.\n“We are more than 20% above where we were the last time we had a meaningful decline, which ended on Sept. 23,” Stovall said.\nThe market has now moved to a mid-cycle period, “after a fast and furious ‘Recovery’ regime,” Bank of America found. Strategists at the firm said that should mean a period of continued gains.\nIn this type of market environment, “typically capex outpaces consumption, rates rise and ‘good inflation’ picks up,” Bank of America said, referring to capital expenditures.\nThis phase could come to an end when “good” inflation turns into “bad” inflation, with prices rising too much and hurting margins. Bank of America’s strategists say this period could also last longer than the average nine months.\nCyclicals and value should lead\nCyclicals and value stocks are expected to continue to outperform. Wall Street strategists have a median target of 4,100 on the S&P 500 for year-end.\nCiti’s Levkovich said he does not expect the market to go much further than it already has this year. He expects the S&P 500 to trade between 3,600 and 4,000 — very close to where it is now — and end the year at 3,800, the lowest forecast in CNBC’s Strategist Survey.\nOn Thursday, the S&P 500 closed at 3,939.\n“People are positioned very bullishly, and that prevents downside risk to the market,” Levkovich said. But the market can also not gain the way it did when tech and growth were the leaders.\n\nWhen the technology and internet growth names were still the leaders, a handful of stocks were responsible for the bulk of the index gains. Some of those names, like Apple and Amazon,have suffered double-digit declines.\nThe energy and materials sectors have doubled in price since last March, while industrials and financials are up about 95%. Tech is up about 83%. Meanwhile, communications services, including internet names, are up about 72%.\n\n“If you lose the leadership of the big dogs, it’s going to hold back the market, even if the other guys are going up,” Levkovich of Citi said. “They’re not as big as the huskies...the valuations are different if you lose some of the big tech names.”\nLater in the year, the market could struggle with cyclicals and value stocks as leaders, Levkovich said.\n“We might be in a position where later in the year we could see some of the expectations around value and cyclicals disappoint, and then I think you see the rotation back to growth,” he said.\nJust as the course of the economy will be decided by the course of the virus and the success of the vaccines, the stock market will be driven by the same factors.\n“Everybody thinks the world will be a lot better in the second half,” Levkovich said. “If there are any hiccups — let’s say it’s a Covid outbreak where we didn’t contain it enough — that would be a disappointment.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":451,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322054010,"gmtCreate":1615747796730,"gmtModify":1704786074768,"author":{"id":"3574915032906549","authorId":"3574915032906549","name":"Drannek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a43a109f2acd3580907a53160ba1f98f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574915032906549","authorIdStr":"3574915032906549"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"To the moon!","listText":"To the moon!","text":"To the moon!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322054010","repostId":"2118950916","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2118950916","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615551877,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2118950916?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 20:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Forget the Reddit Hype, Here Are 3 Very Good Reasons Why GameStop Can Win","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2118950916","media":"Motley Foo","summary":"Yet investors still need to be grounded in the reality of value.","content":"<p>Yet investors still need to be grounded in the reality of value.</p>\n<p>Reddit stock traders hype any move&nbsp;<b>GameStop</b> (NYSE:GME) makes, regardless of whether it actually means anything. The stock simply ticking higher is seen as a sign a moonshot is coming and pointing out the lack of a fundamental basis for the increase often invites condemnation.</p>\n<p>But there are some very good reasons why GameStop's business can succeed, so forget what Reddit is saying and instead look at why it can win.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35f1c9a28fbb4cb73ccf15b9b6e26c74\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p><b>The new e-commerce strategy is a good start</b></p>\n<p>Even before GameStop announced it was pushing forward with a new e-commerce strategy, there was good reason to believe the video game retailer could succeed, but this online initiative gives it a good start.</p>\n<p>As activist investor and board member Ryan Cohen has detailed, GameStop has an invaluable brand in the gaming community, and for all its many faults, its business is synonymous with the industry.</p>\n<p>That gives it a unique foundation to build upon, and while it shouldn't abandon its physical retail roots, it also needs to focus on where gaming is heading. That's online and digital, so becoming the go-to e-commerce destination is essential. GameStop gave a hint of the potential during the pandemic when online sales soared; now it needs to transition more fully into the&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;of gaming.</p>\n<p>Putting Cohen and two other activist investors in charge of this initiative shows GameStop is serious about the effort, and though we need to see what actually develops, the creation of a committee is a good omen.</p>\n<p><b>Still a destination where gamers can go</b></p>\n<p>Cohen has also rightly pointed out GameStop just has too many stores and it needs to focus on the best-performing locations.</p>\n<p>Yet it needs to do more than just be some cramped quarters and offer up a more fun, inviting atmosphere. The video game console upgrade cycle showed how the retailer can straddle both the digital and the physical worlds, and also be a place where gamers want to go to look for physical media. There is still a huge percentage of gamers who want to hold that game in their hands, and GameStop can't abandon them.</p>\n<p>The resale trade has long been its bread and butter for revenue, and that needs to remain a part of the future, but also its stores need to be where gamers can try out the next generation of games and equipment. Try in store, buy online could be a very successful formula for selling virtual reality-based games and gear, for example. Trying out expensive new headsets and controllers beforehand can provide consumers with the confidence to make the purchase.</p>\n<p><b>Don't forget new growth opportunities</b></p>\n<p>GameStop was already heading in this direction before the activist investors targeted the company, but the retailer's dive into the growing phenomenon of esports signals a new growth opportunity for its business.</p>\n<p>Its stores were already a place where gamers went to have community and social interaction, and the whole esports industry is all about that on steroids. A GameStop store that provides an immersive experience could also be the go-to destination for participants.</p>\n<p>It signed a bunch of partnerships before the pandemic struck and those could be put to good use as the economy reopens and normalcy returns.</p>\n<p>Recently, short-seller-turned-good-news-broker Citron Research suggested GameStop acquire&nbsp;<b>Esports Entertainment Group</b> (NASDAQ:GMBL), which would allow the retailer to cash in on both esports and the growing opportunity in sports betting. Whether Esports Entertainment is the right vehicle is open for debate, but it is a channel GameStop really ought to consider.</p>\n<p><b>But also don't forget about value</b></p>\n<p>All of this provides a good argument for why GameStop may have walked away from bankruptcy, and worse, irrelevance. It shows the video game retailer could be a good business to own, but not at any price, and not at these levels.</p>\n<p>Shares of the video game retailer are still sky-high from the short squeeze rally that sent the stock soaring in January and are nearly 1,000% higher than where they started the year. That's not based on reality or the company's fundamentals, but on wishful thinking and a desire to keep the party going.</p>\n<p>GameStop's stock trades at more than three times its sales, 52 times its book value, nearly 40 times the cash it has on hand, and 119 times the free cash flow it produces.

The stock simply ticking higher is seen as a sign a moonshot is coming and pointing out the lack of a fundamental basis for the increase often invites condemnation.\nBut there are some very good reasons why GameStop's business can succeed, so forget what Reddit is saying and instead look at why it can win.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe new e-commerce strategy is a good start\nEven before GameStop announced it was pushing forward with a new e-commerce strategy, there was good reason to believe the video game retailer could succeed, but this online initiative gives it a good start.\nAs activist investor and board member Ryan Cohen has detailed, GameStop has an invaluable brand in the gaming community, and for all its many faults, its business is synonymous with the industry.\nThat gives it a unique foundation to build upon, and while it shouldn't abandon its physical retail roots, it also needs to focus on where gaming is heading. That's online and digital, so becoming the go-to e-commerce destination is essential. GameStop gave a hint of the potential during the pandemic when online sales soared; now it needs to transition more fully into the Amazon of gaming.\nPutting Cohen and two other activist investors in charge of this initiative shows GameStop is serious about the effort, and though we need to see what actually develops, the creation of a committee is a good omen.\nStill a destination where gamers can go\nCohen has also rightly pointed out GameStop just has too many stores and it needs to focus on the best-performing locations.\nYet it needs to do more than just be some cramped quarters and offer up a more fun, inviting atmosphere. The video game console upgrade cycle showed how the retailer can straddle both the digital and the physical worlds, and also be a place where gamers want to go to look for physical media. There is still a huge percentage of gamers who want to hold that game in their hands, and GameStop can't abandon them.\nThe resale trade has long been its bread and butter for revenue, and that needs to remain a part of the future, but also its stores need to be where gamers can try out the next generation of games and equipment. Try in store, buy online could be a very successful formula for selling virtual reality-based games and gear, for example. Trying out expensive new headsets and controllers beforehand can provide consumers with the confidence to make the purchase.\nDon't forget new growth opportunities\nGameStop was already heading in this direction before the activist investors targeted the company, but the retailer's dive into the growing phenomenon of esports signals a new growth opportunity for its business.\nIts stores were already a place where gamers went to have community and social interaction, and the whole esports industry is all about that on steroids. A GameStop store that provides an immersive experience could also be the go-to destination for participants.\nIt signed a bunch of partnerships before the pandemic struck and those could be put to good use as the economy reopens and normalcy returns.\nRecently, short-seller-turned-good-news-broker Citron Research suggested GameStop acquire Esports Entertainment Group (NASDAQ:GMBL), which would allow the retailer to cash in on both esports and the growing opportunity in sports betting. Whether Esports Entertainment is the right vehicle is open for debate, but it is a channel GameStop really ought to consider.\nBut also don't forget about value\nAll of this provides a good argument for why GameStop may have walked away from bankruptcy, and worse, irrelevance. It shows the video game retailer could be a good business to own, but not at any price, and not at these levels.\nShares of the video game retailer are still sky-high from the short squeeze rally that sent the stock soaring in January and are nearly 1,000% higher than where they started the year. That's not based on reality or the company's fundamentals, but on wishful thinking and a desire to keep the party going.\nGameStop's stock trades at more than three times its sales, 52 times its book value, nearly 40 times the cash it has on hand, and 119 times the free cash flow it produces. Those are inflated valuations, not a stock priced to buy.\nSo although GameStop is a business that can win, its stock is not, at least not yet, and serious investors should wait for the inevitable pull of gravity before buying in.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":464,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
