The latter dropped 6.6%, while the former rebounded and ended up 4.3%. read moreTrading volumes were light ahead of the long weekend, with U.S. stock markets closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 10.92 billion shares, compared with the 13.13 billion average over the last 20 trading days.Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 6.49-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 4.13-to-1 ratio favored advancers.The S&P 500 posted 3 new 52-week highs and 29 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 40 new highs and 84 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":307,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9025557184,"gmtCreate":1653707915148,"gmtModify":1676535331261,"author":{"id":"3586327640274304","authorId":"3586327640274304","name":"Kirt","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7564336d6789e04e0f56c24ef66f8c25","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586327640274304","authorIdStr":"3586327640274304"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/.IXIC\">$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$</a>jdjcjfjfjdjfdv","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/.IXIC\">$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$</a>jdjcjfjfjdjfdv","text":"$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$jdjcjfjfjdjfdv","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d5ae4631ac90de7d9ee5b4db9f51fa41","width":"1080","height":"1846"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9025557184","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":317,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022569592,"gmtCreate":1653548796616,"gmtModify":1676535302701,"author":{"id":"3586327640274304","authorId":"3586327640274304","name":"Kirt","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7564336d6789e04e0f56c24ef66f8c25","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586327640274304","authorIdStr":"3586327640274304"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9022569592","repostId":"1104114787","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1104114787","pubTimestamp":1653527526,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1104114787?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-26 09:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"An Options Play Made for Buying Low and Selling High","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1104114787","media":"Barron's","summary":"There is something wrong with the psychology of investors when a company that kids use to write and ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>There is something wrong with the psychology of investors when a company that kids use to write and send brief messages has the power to broadly influence the trajectory of the stock, futures, andoptions markets.</p><p>Yet <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap</a>&#39;s warning on late Mondaythat investors should expect lower growth from the social-media company has gutted what many investors hoped was the start of the end of weeks of poor market performance.</p><p>Now we find ourselves thrust back into the negative narratives that haunt the market, including rising rates and recessions.

Core commerce in China is the biggest contributor to its profit and hence we saw a massive dip in Alibaba’s income and margin in the last quarter. This margin decline could continue in the near term as the restrictions due to the pandemic are still being imposed on major cities. Alibaba’s EBITA in core commerce came at RMB 57.8 billion, down from RMB 71.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. Most of this decline was due to higher investment in Taobao Deals, Community Marketplaces, Local Consumer Service and Lazada.</p><p>We should see better margins in the medium term as the competitive pressure declines due to lower investment by Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) in Alibaba’s rivals like JD.com (JD), Pinduoduo (PDD), Meituan, and others. Alibaba’s cloud platform will also be the main driver for margin expansion over the next few quarters. Even with a lower margin in this earnings call, Alibaba could see better bullish sentiment if it continues to show strong progress in cloud, international regions, subscriptions, delivery, and other key business segments.</p><h2>Decline In Margins</h2><p>The decline in margins within core commerce business is due to ramping up of investments in several strategic initiatives. The growing competition from Pinduoduo forced Alibaba to launch Taobao Deals where the margins are low. This service already has over 240 million annual active customers. Alibaba also invested in Ele.me to improve its delivery network. Another big investment activity was in Lazada in Southeast Asia. Lazada is competing against Sea Limited and Alibaba has set a target to hit $100 billion gross merchandise value within this business.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/544c296ad8072dce7401de3165fbf988\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"266\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Alibaba Filings</p><p></p><p>Figure 1: Decline in core commerce EBITA is driving the overall margins lower.</p><p>The margin decline in commerce segment was quite high. The overall EBITA margin in the year-ago quarter was 28% which declined to 18% in the last quarter.</p><h2>Tencent&#39;s Withdrawal</h2><p>Tencent has seen significant regulatory headwinds in recent quarters. It is Alibaba’s main rival which has invested in a number of companies that directly compete with Alibaba. Tencent is now trying to divest its stake in these companies to prevent antitrust action by regulators.</p><p>It has already announced a reduction in stake in JD from 17% to 2.3%. There could also be a reduction in strategic partnership where JD uses Tencent’s platform to improve its service. Tencent might also divest from PDD, Meituan and other startups. At the same time, Tencent is increasing investment outside China. This will reduce the competitive pressure on Alibaba in several business segments.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51ed2b380c935f55b8df8e53737d48b4\" tg-width=\"779\" tg-height=\"551\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Financial Times</p><p></p><p>Figure 2: Lower investment by Tencent in China.</p><h2>Importance Of Cloud Business</h2><p>Alibaba Cloud is already showing annualized revenue rate of $12 billion.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/130228d64a56245f00b42dbce2e29d0e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Company Filings</p><p></p><p>Figure 3: Improvement in cloud business compared to year ago quarter.</p><p>In the nine months ending December 31, 2020 Alibaba reported EBITA of negative RMB 1.9 billion. In the latest nine-month period this has changed to positive RMB 0.87 billion. The margin swing in this period was from negative 4% to positive 2 %. Many cloud providers have struggled with lower margins in the initial stages. After reaching a higher revenue base, they are able to leverage the economies of scale to deliver better margins.</p><p>We have already seen this in Google&#39;s ((GOOG)(GOOGL)) cloud business. Google was able to deliver a 16 percentage point improvement in margin on a YoY basis in the previous quarter. Alibaba should also be able to show improvement in cloud margins as the revenue base increases and we see better economies of scale.</p><p>Another factor working in favor of Alibaba Cloud is the rapid international growth shown by the company. Recently, Alibaba opened its third data center in Germany and it now directly competes with Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Google, and other cloud providers in the lucrative European region. It should be noted that Alibaba Cloud has many features which are similar to Amazon&#39;s AWS because both of these cloud operations started with their e-commerce business. This makes it easier for clients to use Alibaba Cloud instead of AWS in case they get better discounts.</p><p>Many clients are focusing on using the services of multiple cloud providers instead of a single cloud company. This should help Alibaba Cloud gain market share as clients try to diversify their cloud providers.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b7a35257e5d288ea3753661e3165873\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"248\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Amazon Filing</p><p></p><p>Figure 4: Amazon&#39;s AWS has shown operating margin of close to 30% in the last few quarters.</p><p>Amazon’s AWS regularly shows operating margin of 30%. There is a massive margin gap between Alibaba Cloud and AWS. Alibaba Cloud has already shown an improvement of six percentage points in margins in the first three-quarters of this fiscal. Further improvement is likely as Alibaba ramps up its international investment in cloud business.</p><p>Hence, we should see a lot of margin improvement in Alibaba Cloud due to better economies of scale, international expansion, and usage of multiple cloud providers by clients, and thereby see a reduction in margin gap with AWS.</p><h2>Are Margins Important?</h2><p>If Alibaba can show rapid growth in international regions, the margins might take a back seat for Wall Street in evaluating the stock. The company is trying to replicate the business model it has created within China in other locations. It tries to gain a good share of the ecommerce market in a new region and then launches other services like payment, cloud, delivery, subscriptions, etc. within these locations. Alibaba has already proven itself in Southeast Asia.

Core commerce in China is the biggest contributor to its profit and hence we saw a massive dip in Alibaba’s income and margin in the last quarter. This margin decline could continue in the near term as the restrictions due to the pandemic are still being imposed on major cities. Alibaba’s EBITA in core commerce came at RMB 57.8 billion, down from RMB 71.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. Most of this decline was due to higher investment in Taobao Deals, Community Marketplaces, Local Consumer Service and Lazada.We should see better margins in the medium term as the competitive pressure declines due to lower investment by Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) in Alibaba’s rivals like JD.com (JD), Pinduoduo (PDD), Meituan, and others. Alibaba’s cloud platform will also be the main driver for margin expansion over the next few quarters. Even with a lower margin in this earnings call, Alibaba could see better bullish sentiment if it continues to show strong progress in cloud, international regions, subscriptions, delivery, and other key business segments.Decline In MarginsThe decline in margins within core commerce business is due to ramping up of investments in several strategic initiatives. The growing competition from Pinduoduo forced Alibaba to launch Taobao Deals where the margins are low. This service already has over 240 million annual active customers. Alibaba also invested in Ele.me to improve its delivery network. Another big investment activity was in Lazada in Southeast Asia. Lazada is competing against Sea Limited and Alibaba has set a target to hit $100 billion gross merchandise value within this business.Alibaba FilingsFigure 1: Decline in core commerce EBITA is driving the overall margins lower.The margin decline in commerce segment was quite high. The overall EBITA margin in the year-ago quarter was 28% which declined to 18% in the last quarter.Tencent's WithdrawalTencent has seen significant regulatory headwinds in recent quarters. It is Alibaba’s main rival which has invested in a number of companies that directly compete with Alibaba. Tencent is now trying to divest its stake in these companies to prevent antitrust action by regulators.It has already announced a reduction in stake in JD from 17% to 2.3%. There could also be a reduction in strategic partnership where JD uses Tencent’s platform to improve its service. Tencent might also divest from PDD, Meituan and other startups. At the same time, Tencent is increasing investment outside China. This will reduce the competitive pressure on Alibaba in several business segments.Financial TimesFigure 2: Lower investment by Tencent in China.Importance Of Cloud BusinessAlibaba Cloud is already showing annualized revenue rate of $12 billion.Company FilingsFigure 3: Improvement in cloud business compared to year ago quarter.In the nine months ending December 31, 2020 Alibaba reported EBITA of negative RMB 1.9 billion. In the latest nine-month period this has changed to positive RMB 0.87 billion. The margin swing in this period was from negative 4% to positive 2 %. Many cloud providers have struggled with lower margins in the initial stages. After reaching a higher revenue base, they are able to leverage the economies of scale to deliver better margins.We have already seen this in Google's ((GOOG)(GOOGL)) cloud business. Google was able to deliver a 16 percentage point improvement in margin on a YoY basis in the previous quarter. Alibaba should also be able to show improvement in cloud margins as the revenue base increases and we see better economies of scale.Another factor working in favor of Alibaba Cloud is the rapid international growth shown by the company. Recently, Alibaba opened its third data center in Germany and it now directly competes with Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Google, and other cloud providers in the lucrative European region. It should be noted that Alibaba Cloud has many features which are similar to Amazon's AWS because both of these cloud operations started with their e-commerce business. This makes it easier for clients to use Alibaba Cloud instead of AWS in case they get better discounts.Many clients are focusing on using the services of multiple cloud providers instead of a single cloud company. This should help Alibaba Cloud gain market share as clients try to diversify their cloud providers.Amazon FilingFigure 4: Amazon's AWS has shown operating margin of close to 30% in the last few quarters.Amazon’s AWS regularly shows operating margin of 30%. There is a massive margin gap between Alibaba Cloud and AWS. Alibaba Cloud has already shown an improvement of six percentage points in margins in the first three-quarters of this fiscal. Further improvement is likely as Alibaba ramps up its international investment in cloud business.Hence, we should see a lot of margin improvement in Alibaba Cloud due to better economies of scale, international expansion, and usage of multiple cloud providers by clients, and thereby see a reduction in margin gap with AWS.Are Margins Important?If Alibaba can show rapid growth in international regions, the margins might take a back seat for Wall Street in evaluating the stock. The company is trying to replicate the business model it has created within China in other locations. It tries to gain a good share of the ecommerce market in a new region and then launches other services like payment, cloud, delivery, subscriptions, etc. within these locations. Alibaba has already proven itself in Southeast Asia. It owns Lazada which is a major player in the ecommerce market of Southeast Asia.Lazada had $21 billion gross merchandise value according to recent estimates compared with Sea Limited which had $35 billion GMV. Sea Limited is trading at close to $50 billion market cap. Hence, Lazada could also have a massive standalone valuation. Alibaba also owns a big stake in Trendyol which is the leading e-commerce company in Turkey with a valuation of over $16 billion.By end of this decade, Alibaba’s international business could be worth more than its Chinese business. During the expansion phase in international regions, the margins will suffer as the company tries to invest in warehousing, logistics and attracts new customers through discounts. Wall Street might overlook margins in this period if Alibaba’s management can deliver high enough growth in international markets. The recent YoY growth in Lazada was 82% which shows that heavy investment can bring a strong growth from a high revenue base.Impact On StockAlibaba is trading at a modest valuation multiple even if we price in the regulatory challenges faced by the company. The company has a number of growth drivers that it can use to deliver better numbers in the future. The core business is still very strong and it has been able to retain its market share despite the growth of innovative disruptors like PDD.YchartsFigure 5: Alibaba's forward PE ratio is considerably lower than that of JD and PDD.The revenue growth is still strong in a number of important businesses like cloud, international commerce, Ele.me and others. The forward P/E ratio of Alibaba is close to single digit which does not reflect the core strengths. We could still see some margin headwinds due to pandemic restrictions in the near term. However, in the medium to long term, the revenue growth and margin potential of the company are promising.Investors should look past the short-term margin fluctuation and gauge the long-term growth of important segments like cloud, international commerce, subscriptions, and competition with Tencent.Investor TakeawayAlibaba has seen a dip in margins as the company invests in its strategic initiatives. We should see lower competitive pressure on Alibaba in the medium term as Tencent reduces its stake and partnership in JD, PDD, Meituan and others. Tencent is also directing more investment in international regions which should be favorable for Alibaba in China.

Positive trends started to take off from the ground post-coronavirus pandemic but in vain. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, inflationary pressures, labor issues, and supply crunch are some of the macroeconomic factors, which once again dropped investors into murky waters.Extensive volatility in capital markets rose investor anxiety, which led S&P 500 to drop around 14.75% year-to-date.In such a gloomy scenario, it is difficult for investors to find stocks for long-term investments. Though every investor tries to conduct his own due diligence before adding stock to his portfolio, there are organizations known as hedge funds, one place to look for indications of upside. Investors can bank on these firms for insights to pick stocks.Tiger Global Management is an investment firm, which focuses on both public and private corporations in the global Internet, software, consumer, and financial technology industries to generate investment returns over the long term. Founded in 2001 byChase Coleman, Tiger Global manages discretionary assets worth about $124,655,466,641 and has a market value of $26.64 billion as of March 31, 2022. Coleman has a net worth of about $10.3 billion.Interestingly, during the period between 2007 and 2017, New York-based Tiger Global was the most successful firm amongst venture capital firms acquiring the highest amount of capital, per a Preqin Venture Report. Additionally, in 2020, the firm provided returns of $10.4 billion, ranking itself among the annual list of the top 20 hedge fund managers.However, 2022 so far has been a tough year for the hedge fund giant, with its long-only fund recording declines of 25% in April and a year-to-date loss of 52%, according to Bloomberg. This has reduced $17 billion in assets under management, with the fund experiencing a reduction of two-thirds of the cumulative gains made for investments since 2001, thanks to macroeconomic concerns.However, prior to this slump, Tiger Global had successfully delivered consistent outperformance compared with the S&P 500 with the exception of two years since its inception. Therefore, investors might be hopeful about the fund as the firm has revised its portfolio in the first quarter of 2022, liquidating many of its tech stocks, which have seen a massive sell-off recently.According to TipRanks, Coleman’s portfolio has gained 111.6% since June 2013 and averaged 11.01% over the past three years.The question stands, however, how can this information be helpful for the everyday investor? Hedge funds are required to file a 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) every quarter. This discloses most long positions to the public, which inculcates transparency into the financial system and boosts investor confidence in the capital market system.Taking all this into consideration, we take a look at two stocks, which were found to be worthy by Tiger Global for investments in the last quarter.CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity organization based in the United States that provides cloud-based systems to safeguard sensitive endpoints and prevent breaches, among other services.With a market capitalization of $34.17 billion, CRWD stock is trading near 52-week lows and plunged 25.74% year-to-date on a massive recent sell-off in tech stocks as investors dived towards safe-haven assets from high-priced stocks on macroeconomic issues. Disappointingly, shares shrugged off 34.54% over the last month.Nevertheless, with the growing popularity of cybersecurity providers as in the current era of digitization, network infrastructures have become highly exposed to cyberattacks, CrowdStrike expects to grow its annual recurring revenue (ARR) to more than $5 billion by Fiscal 2026.Additionally, with the expansion of its total addressable market (TAM) with new services and increasing its market share, the company expects the TAM for its current portfolio to augment from $58 billion in 2022 to $71 billion in 2024 and unveiled new services to boost its TAM to $126 billion in 2025.It seems that the sell-off has provided a much more attractive entry point to investors interested in the stock, with hedge funds buying in.This past quarter, Tiger Global Management picked up 1.27 million shares of CRWD, amounting to a market value of $162.8 million. For Tiger Global, this was a 16% change in its holding position and indicates his confidence in the stock.In line with Tiger Global’s bullish stance, recently, Alex Henderson, an analyst at Needham, maintained a Buy rating and a price target of $340 on the stock based on the company’s long-term growth prospects. Henderson’s price target implies 130.87% upside potential over the next 12 months.Recommending investors to buy and hold these shares, the analyst said, “We recognize the potential for downdrafts in CRWD from time to time as the company moves with market swings given its high beta. We are long-term buyers of CRWD for multi-year out-performance. While a period of consolidation is possible, we think CRWD is a unique investment vehicle with exceptional long-term value potential.”Turning to Wall Street, consensus among analysts is a Strong Buy based on 19 Buys versus one Hold. The average CrowdStrike price target of $276 implies 87.41% upside potential from current levels.Sea Limited(SE)Sea Limited is a Singapore-based internet and mobile platform company that offers digital content, e-commerce, gaming services, and payment platforms.With a market capitalization of $44.9 billion and recording losses of more than 64% year-to-date, SE stock is trending towards its 52-week low price. The broad technology sell-off and troubles at Sea’s gaming unit (Garena) shook investor confidence. Nevertheless, based on operating leverage and efficiency gains at Sea’s e-commerce unit, Shoppee, and fintech unit, SeaMoney, the company fits into buying the dips strategy for long-term investors.Also, at the recent earnings release, Forrest Li, Sea’s Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “With the significant scale, strong leadership, and clear synergies achieved by both businesses in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, our consumer internet ecosystem in the region is naturally approaching a stage of long-term profitable growth.”“While Garena experienced headwinds in its growth post-COVID, we saw some preliminary positive effects from our efforts to improve user engagement in Free Fire. In particular, the monthly user trends for Free Fire began to show some early signs of stabilizing toward the end of the first quarter,” Li added.In Q1 2022, Tiger Global Management reflecting confidence in the stock bought 2.13 million shares of SE, increasing its holdings by 18%. This amounted to a market value of $172.06 million.Recently, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Scott Devitt reiterated a Buy rating on SE but lowered the price target to $115 (43.37% upside potential) from $160 on lower-than-expected first-quarter results and continued macro uncertainty.Nevertheless, Devitt commented, “Sea operates an established, profitable asset with its Garena segment that should help fund investments in its developing businesses (Shopee, payments) as they scale and gain market share. With leverage to strong emerging growth markets and leading market positions, we like the Sea platform, however, view risk/reward in shares as fairly balanced.”In line with Devitt’s bullish stance, the stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 15 Buys and two Holds. The average Sea price target of $185.71 implies 131.53% upside potential.Bottom LineEven historically-stable stocks do not appear safe at the moment in the recent volatile markets. Taking insights from hedge funds could prove to be a smart move for investors to make prudent investment decisions for potential long-term returns. CrowdStrike and Sea each show long-term prospects, despite their recent price action.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":278,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067032029,"gmtCreate":1652394927361,"gmtModify":1676535089390,"author":{"id":"3586327640274304","authorId":"3586327640274304","name":"Kirt","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7564336d6789e04e0f56c24ef66f8c25","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586327640274304","authorIdStr":"3586327640274304"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/.IXIC\">$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$</a>ndjdjdjfjfjsjd","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/.IXIC\">$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$</a>ndjdjdjfjfjsjd","text":"$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ndjdjdjfjfjsjd","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/535559649c956fcc0cd95a8d5818e6ea","width":"1080","height":"1846"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9067032029","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":409,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9067036489,"gmtCreate":1652394883441,"gmtModify":1676535089382,"author":{"id":"3586327640274304","authorId":"3586327640274304","name":"Kirt","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7564336d6789e04e0f56c24ef66f8c25","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586327640274304","authorIdStr":"3586327640274304"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9067036489","repostId":"1187240111","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187240111","pubTimestamp":1652368804,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1187240111?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-12 23:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"6 Undervalued Stocks You Should Buy For the Long Term","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1187240111","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These are the 6 undervalued stocks you should buy for the long term that have low price-to-earnings ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>These are the 6 undervalued stocks you should buy for the long term that have low price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples, pay good dividends, and also have share buyback programs.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MCD\">McDonald’s</a>: McDonald’s trades with a 2.23% dividend yield, 25x forward earnings and should do well as a result.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ALL\">The Allstate Corporation</a> — The insurer has a new $5 billion buyback program and yields 2.64%.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HPQ\">HP Inc. </a> — The computer printer maker has a 2.7% yield as well as a hefty, consistent buyback program.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TGT\">Target </a> — A fast-growing retailer with good cash flow — enough to pay a 1.61% yield and a 6.88% buyback yield.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABBV\">AbbVie</a> — A cheap pharmaceutical company with a 3.69% yield and consistent dividend growth.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NRG\">NRG Energy</a> — A Houston-based integrated power company with a 3.38% yield and growing dividends.</li></ul><p>These six undervalued stocks should be able to weather a major inflation and recession cycle.

But so far, analysts surveyed by Refinitiv forecast annualEPS of $14.58 for this year (ending January 2023). That puts TGT stock on a forward P/E of just 15.5 times earnings.The fact is people will still buy groceries, clothes, and cheap items at fashionable discount stores like Target during a recession. We saw this happen during the Covid-19 lock-down period. Target performed greatly and had one of its best years. In 2021 itssales rose 13.2%. Comparable sales grew 12.7% in 2021, on top of 19.3% in 2020.Last quarter the company produced almost $2 billion in FCF, representing 6.3% of its total sales. Going forward this allows Target to cover its $432 million quarterly dividend costs.Moreover, the company has been aggressively buying back its stock, spending over $2.3 billion in the last quarter alone. Last year it bought back $7.36 billionworth of its stock. That represents 6.88% of its existing market cap and a higher portion of its average market cap during the year.AbbVieMarket Value: $269.2 billionAbbVie is a profitable pharmaceutical company that has an attractive 3.69% dividend yield. It is known for itsHumira drug, for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease, and other drugs like RINVOQ for severe active rheumatoid arthritis.ABBV stock trades on a cheap forward P/E of just 10.83x for this year and 13.4x next year’s earnings forecasts.  Last year itssales were up 22.7% and this year it is forecast to rise over 10%.Last year AbbVie generated over $17 billion in FCF. It used that to pay out $9.26 billion in dividends. That leaves it plenty of room to pay higher dividends and buy back its shares.It spent about $934 million in buybacks last year. This makes ABBV stock one of the more secure undervalued stocks to own for the long term and even during a recession.
