It only stands to reason that in the vast corporate landscape that is Alphabet, there would be some fat to trim <i>somewhere. </i>So, the question has gone, why hasn’t Alphabet been more proactive?</p><h2><b>The Three Year Reset</b></h2><p>We speculate - and it is true speculation - that Alphabet’s reluctance throughout the latter half of 2022 to announce meaningful cost-cutting initiatives at the company even as competitors were doing so might have something to do with the fact that Alphabet’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, was due for a re-evaluation of his triennial compensation package. Since CEO pay package negotiations can take months, it’s not perhaps surprising that the company wouldn’t undertake large changes while the leader of the organization is unclear as to how they will be compensated for such actions. The announcement of the new package was quietly dropped in an 8k filing on December 21st.</p><p>Pichai’s new comp package is enormous, but is also, on the face of it, good news for investors. The board explicitly states in the December 21st 8K that two design changes were made “such that more of the award’s vesting [is] dependent on performance.”</p><p>The first part of Pichai’s pay package are two tranches of Performance Stock Units (PSUs), each worth a target value of $63,000,000 in Alphabet Class C stock and have a potential payout range from 0%-200% of their target value. A nice feature of this is that Pichai will have to act quickly if he wants to secure this bundle of cash—unlike some executive pay packages with four or five year time horizons, Pichai’s first tranche of $63,000,000 vests based on a total shareholder return measured from 2023-2024, and uses the average weighted price of the Class C stock from November 2022 as its baseline.</p><p>The second tranche—in the same amount as the first—will be evaluated over a performance period between 2023-2025.</p><p>Importantly, the board increased the proportion of performance stock units from 43% of the overall package to 60%. The board also raised the performance requirement for PSUs to the 55th percentile of total shareholder return from the 50th, which means that Pichai’s hurdle for execution is higher. In the world of corporate pay packages—and silicon valley tech pay packages in particular—this feels like a significant shift, and perhaps a tacit admission from the board that they feel that not only is the stock being undervalued by the market, but that there are proverbial belts to tighten around the company.</p><p>In all, Pichai&#39;s comp package totals out to an approximate maximum payout of stock-performance tied payout of $252,000,000 over the next three years. While the exact details of how the award calculations will be made—such as how much the stock needs to rise above its November 2022 average price—are yet to be published in the upcoming Alphabet 10k, we nonetheless have a nice window into what kind of incentives Sundar Pichai has to improve operations at Alphabet in the eyes of shareholders. And, if we could paraphrase Charlie Munger, understanding how executives are incentivized is a powerful tool indeed.</p><h2><b>What Do We Think Will Happen?</b></h2><p>For one, we think the playing field is tilted in Pichai’s favor given that Alphabet’s valuation is, like so many tech firms, plumbing depths not seen for many years. A metric we favor for valuing a firm against its historical average is its stock price vs. next twelve month (NTM) EBITDA estimates. Alphabet has, for many years, tracked its EBITDA estimates very, very closely. 2022 brought a change to all that, and a gulf now exists between the two that has not existed in the past ten years.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4dc5d93d4acf3cf999c0346647fb25dd\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>GOOGL Price vs NTM EBITDA (Koyfin)</p><p>This is, we believe, most certainly an overreaction on the market’s part. Just a quick glance at Alphabet’s quarterly EBITDA reports going back 20 years shows a company that has been able to expand and maintain margin at a maniacal pace.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc3f8e0dd3df4910d048b1c9b9ceffee\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>GOOGL 20-year Quarterly EBITDA (Koyfin)</p><p>The sudden disconnect between price and valuation is, to us, a bit of a head scratcher. To be sure, FX headwinds and a deteriorating macro picture have hurt Alphabet a bit as marketers reduce their ad spend—this can be seen in the recent slump in the chart above of Alphabet’s quarterly EBITDA. But we remind readers that the core business of Alphabet hasn’t changed and that the use of Google remains a staple of most people’s lives.</p><p>Nonetheless, it provides Alphabet’s CEO with a rare opportunity. He has just been awarded an enormous compensation package tied to the price of his company’s stock, and his performance will be judged based on Alphabet&#39;s average stock price from November 2022 - one of the most value and price-depressed times in the company’s history. Given that he can earn up to 200% of his awards should the stock perform well enough (again, we’ll have to wait for the Alphabet 10k to determine just <i>how </i>well), we can say that he is certainly well-incentivized.</p><p>So, what will he do? Of course we can endlessly speculate, but in our mind the most likely course of action is to reduce headcount and other costs where possible and to continue to buy back shares at this reduced valuation. Other deployments of capital—increases in R&amp;D, paying down debt—won’t be seen by the street as immediately impactful, especially given Alphabet’s stalwart balance sheet and exceptional leverage ratios.</p><h2><b>The Bottom Line</b></h2><p>Alphabet presents a very interesting scenario for investors right now. To recap, Alphabet:</p><ol><li>Is a company with a monopolistic enterprise in Google and another near-monopolistic property in YouTube.</li><li>Has a large historical price-value disconnect.</li><li>Has a CEO who has recently been awarded an enormous compensation package tied to the positive performance of its stock.</li><li>Has plenty of cash on hand to deploy for shareholder-friendly activities like additional stock buybacks.</li><li>Has plenty of places in its business to cut costs and further improve margins.</li></ol><p>With what we know at this time, this seems to be a recipe for success over the next 12-24 months. Risks to this idea are that when the company publishes its 10k, the actual performance metrics tied to Pichai’s performance are quite weak. Another risk is that leadership may elect to eschew Wall Street’s preference for shorter-term thinking and plough money that could be used for things like stock buybacks into more of its moonshot-type ideas.</p><p>At the end of the day, though, we think investors would do well to give Alphabet a closer look and to keep a close watch over the next few months.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","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>Google: A Recipe For A Dynamite 2023</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\">\nGoogle: A Recipe For A Dynamite 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-15 10:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4569860-google-a-recipe-for-a-dynamite-2023><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A Changing LandscapeAcross the tech world, cost-cutting and headcount rationalization (corporate speak for large-scale layoffs) is suddenly in fashion.

Since CEO pay package negotiations can take months, it’s not perhaps surprising that the company wouldn’t undertake large changes while the leader of the organization is unclear as to how they will be compensated for such actions. The announcement of the new package was quietly dropped in an 8k filing on December 21st.Pichai’s new comp package is enormous, but is also, on the face of it, good news for investors. The board explicitly states in the December 21st 8K that two design changes were made “such that more of the award’s vesting [is] dependent on performance.”The first part of Pichai’s pay package are two tranches of Performance Stock Units (PSUs), each worth a target value of $63,000,000 in Alphabet Class C stock and have a potential payout range from 0%-200% of their target value. A nice feature of this is that Pichai will have to act quickly if he wants to secure this bundle of cash—unlike some executive pay packages with four or five year time horizons, Pichai’s first tranche of $63,000,000 vests based on a total shareholder return measured from 2023-2024, and uses the average weighted price of the Class C stock from November 2022 as its baseline.The second tranche—in the same amount as the first—will be evaluated over a performance period between 2023-2025.Importantly, the board increased the proportion of performance stock units from 43% of the overall package to 60%. The board also raised the performance requirement for PSUs to the 55th percentile of total shareholder return from the 50th, which means that Pichai’s hurdle for execution is higher. In the world of corporate pay packages—and silicon valley tech pay packages in particular—this feels like a significant shift, and perhaps a tacit admission from the board that they feel that not only is the stock being undervalued by the market, but that there are proverbial belts to tighten around the company.In all, Pichai's comp package totals out to an approximate maximum payout of stock-performance tied payout of $252,000,000 over the next three years. While the exact details of how the award calculations will be made—such as how much the stock needs to rise above its November 2022 average price—are yet to be published in the upcoming Alphabet 10k, we nonetheless have a nice window into what kind of incentives Sundar Pichai has to improve operations at Alphabet in the eyes of shareholders. And, if we could paraphrase Charlie Munger, understanding how executives are incentivized is a powerful tool indeed.What Do We Think Will Happen?For one, we think the playing field is tilted in Pichai’s favor given that Alphabet’s valuation is, like so many tech firms, plumbing depths not seen for many years. A metric we favor for valuing a firm against its historical average is its stock price vs. next twelve month (NTM) EBITDA estimates. Alphabet has, for many years, tracked its EBITDA estimates very, very closely. 2022 brought a change to all that, and a gulf now exists between the two that has not existed in the past ten years.GOOGL Price vs NTM EBITDA (Koyfin)This is, we believe, most certainly an overreaction on the market’s part. Just a quick glance at Alphabet’s quarterly EBITDA reports going back 20 years shows a company that has been able to expand and maintain margin at a maniacal pace.GOOGL 20-year Quarterly EBITDA (Koyfin)The sudden disconnect between price and valuation is, to us, a bit of a head scratcher. To be sure, FX headwinds and a deteriorating macro picture have hurt Alphabet a bit as marketers reduce their ad spend—this can be seen in the recent slump in the chart above of Alphabet’s quarterly EBITDA. But we remind readers that the core business of Alphabet hasn’t changed and that the use of Google remains a staple of most people’s lives.Nonetheless, it provides Alphabet’s CEO with a rare opportunity. He has just been awarded an enormous compensation package tied to the price of his company’s stock, and his performance will be judged based on Alphabet's average stock price from November 2022 - one of the most value and price-depressed times in the company’s history. Given that he can earn up to 200% of his awards should the stock perform well enough (again, we’ll have to wait for the Alphabet 10k to determine just how well), we can say that he is certainly well-incentivized.So, what will he do? Of course we can endlessly speculate, but in our mind the most likely course of action is to reduce headcount and other costs where possible and to continue to buy back shares at this reduced valuation. Other deployments of capital—increases in R&D, paying down debt—won’t be seen by the street as immediately impactful, especially given Alphabet’s stalwart balance sheet and exceptional leverage ratios.The Bottom LineAlphabet presents a very interesting scenario for investors right now. To recap, Alphabet:Is a company with a monopolistic enterprise in Google and another near-monopolistic property in YouTube.Has a large historical price-value disconnect.Has a CEO who has recently been awarded an enormous compensation package tied to the positive performance of its stock.Has plenty of cash on hand to deploy for shareholder-friendly activities like additional stock buybacks.Has plenty of places in its business to cut costs and further improve margins.With what we know at this time, this seems to be a recipe for success over the next 12-24 months. Risks to this idea are that when the company publishes its 10k, the actual performance metrics tied to Pichai’s performance are quite weak. Another risk is that leadership may elect to eschew Wall Street’s preference for shorter-term thinking and plough money that could be used for things like stock buybacks into more of its moonshot-type ideas.At the end of the day, though, we think investors would do well to give Alphabet a closer look and to keep a close watch over the next few months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":274,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9061737418,"gmtCreate":1651675623592,"gmtModify":1676534947148,"author":{"id":"4089015496438250","authorId":"4089015496438250","name":"TanKN","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/592ead705480983021b997853a5fd360","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089015496438250","authorIdStr":"4089015496438250"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/SRGA\">$Surgalign Holdings, Inc.(SRGA)$</a>HOLO is in used already.

Fool","summary":"Take advantage of the market's short-term mindset and buy these two long-term winners.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>When a stock or index falls 10% from its all-time high, it is said to be in correction territory. While this isn&#39;t as scary-sounding as a bear market -- denoted by a 20% fall -- it should give investors pause. Corrections often occur because of an event, and stocks are indiscriminately sold across the board.</p><p>A wide sell-off gives investors opportunities to grab stocks that may be caught up in the frenzy but whose business will be unaffected. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> stocks I believe are great buys are <b>Shopify </b>(NYSE:SHOP) and <b>Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL). Each has seen its stock price fall recently, but the businesses are still thriving.</p><h2>1. Shopify</h2><p>Starting a business can be difficult; selling the product online can be even more challenging. Shopify simplifies the process by providing website templates, payment processing, and shipping solutions at an affordable $29 per month. As a business grows and can afford to expand its e-commerce tool kit, Shopify has other tiers with upgraded features.</p><p>It&#39;s not just a small business enabler. Many large brands like <b>Kraft Heinz </b>and KKW Beauty -- Kim Kardashian&#39;s cosmetic line -- use its software. Shopify recently announced it was expanding its offerings for larger companies by providing two-day shipping and easy returns. An undertaking like this requires significant investment in warehouse space. Fortunately, Shopify is forward-thinking and already acquired 6 River Systems -- a robotic warehouse company -- to provide top-notch automation within the facilities. Shopify is providing best-in-class e-commerce solutions to businesses of all sizes, and this latest move reinforces that notion.</p><p>The company splits its revenue into two segments, merchant and subscription solutions. Subscription solutions are the base prices customers pay each month to access the tools Shopify offers. Growth in this segment can occur through two main avenues: New customers, or customers upgrading tiers. During the third quarter, Shopify&#39;s subscription solution grew 37% year over year to $336 million, but only made up 30% of revenue.</p><p>The larger segment, merchant solutions, grows as the stores on its platform increase their sales. As Shopify&#39;s customers do better, it does better. With merchant solutions up 51% year over year to $788 million, it&#39;s clear that countless businesses on Shopify are succeeding.</p><p>Shopify isn&#39;t consistently profitable and is best valued by comparing its stock price with its revenue, captured by the price-to-sales (PS) metric.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78410274e2bde12a83ef6462d23bce93\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SHOP PS Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>After an elevated valuation during most of 2020 and 2021, Shopify&#39;s PS ratio has returned to pre-pandemic levels after the recent sell-off. While investors shouldn&#39;t expect Shopify to return to previous valuation highs, revenue growth going forward should directly correlate with its stock price if current valuation levels are maintained. With revenue growing 46% overall and Shopify expanding with larger businesses, the future is bright for the company&#39;s stock.</p><h2>2. Alphabet</h2><p>Contrasting Shopify&#39;s high growth and unprofitability is Alphabet -- the parent company of Google and YouTube -- which also has high growth but is insanely profitable. With its search engine and video sharing market dominance, Alphabet&#39;s primary offerings are unlikely to be disrupted by competitors.</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><th>Segment</th><th>Market Share</th></tr><tr><td>Google Search Engine</td><td>86%</td></tr><tr><td>YouTube</td><td>76%</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: Statista and Datanyze.</p><p>Because of each segment&#39;s supremacy, it can offer advertisers a diverse audience, making Alphabet a valuable advertising partner. While advertising spending grew marginally during 2020, 2021 was a different story. Google&#39;s Q3 search ad revenue grew 44% to $37.9 billion -- for context, Shopify&#39;s gross merchandise volume for Q3 was $41.8 billion. Comparing the incredible 44% growth with Q3 2020&#39;s mere 3% showcases how advertising businesses fare during difficult economic times. On the YouTube side, growth was similar at 43%, but revenue was much less than its search engine division at $7.2 billion.</p><p>At its core, Alphabet is an advertising business. Because advertisement spending tends to drop during recessions -- it dropped by 13% across the board during the 2008 recession -- Alphabet will likely receive a lower valuation due to this risk.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fe1f802170b39b9e567e64d0288e7aad\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>GOOG PE Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>Still, a 29 price-to-earnings ratio is dirt cheap for a company growing its earnings at a 71% clip. As long as the economy doesn&#39;t grind to a halt, Alphabet&#39;s advertisement business will continue providing absurd growth numbers.</p><p>One division that isn&#39;t a market leader is Google Cloud. It only has an 8% market share versus <b>Amazon</b> Web Services&#39; 32% and <b>Microsoft </b>Azure&#39;s 21%, according to Statista. With Azure growing 46% during the fourth quarter, investors need to watch Alphabet&#39;s Q4 earnings report to see if Google Cloud is gaining ground or if it is struggling against its bigger competitors. Regardless, if advertisement revenue continues to increase, Alphabet will still report strong earnings.</p><p>With most of the correction concerns circling around interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, it hardly affects Shopify&#39;s and Alphabet&#39;s business. Although the stock prices may mean some short-term pain, each business is focused on the long term, just like investors should be. Purchasing both these stocks on sale and holding for three to five years allows investors to reap the benefits of a growing business while riding out any market-induced volatility in the stock prices. Both these stocks are attractively valued, so it could be a great time to take advantage of the market&#39;s short-term thinking to own two long-term winners today.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","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>2 Stocks to Grab Now That the S&P 500 Is In Correction Territory</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\">\n2 Stocks to Grab Now That the S&P 500 Is In Correction Territory\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-03 19:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/02/03/2-stocks-to-grab-now-that-the-sp-500-is-in-correct/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When a stock or index falls 10% from its all-time high, it is said to be in correction territory.

While this isn't as scary-sounding as a bear market -- denoted by a 20% fall -- it should give investors pause. Corrections often occur because of an event, and stocks are indiscriminately sold across the board.A wide sell-off gives investors opportunities to grab stocks that may be caught up in the frenzy but whose business will be unaffected. Two stocks I believe are great buys are Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL). Each has seen its stock price fall recently, but the businesses are still thriving.1. ShopifyStarting a business can be difficult; selling the product online can be even more challenging. Shopify simplifies the process by providing website templates, payment processing, and shipping solutions at an affordable $29 per month. As a business grows and can afford to expand its e-commerce tool kit, Shopify has other tiers with upgraded features.It's not just a small business enabler. Many large brands like Kraft Heinz and KKW Beauty -- Kim Kardashian's cosmetic line -- use its software. Shopify recently announced it was expanding its offerings for larger companies by providing two-day shipping and easy returns. An undertaking like this requires significant investment in warehouse space. Fortunately, Shopify is forward-thinking and already acquired 6 River Systems -- a robotic warehouse company -- to provide top-notch automation within the facilities. Shopify is providing best-in-class e-commerce solutions to businesses of all sizes, and this latest move reinforces that notion.The company splits its revenue into two segments, merchant and subscription solutions. Subscription solutions are the base prices customers pay each month to access the tools Shopify offers. Growth in this segment can occur through two main avenues: New customers, or customers upgrading tiers. During the third quarter, Shopify's subscription solution grew 37% year over year to $336 million, but only made up 30% of revenue.The larger segment, merchant solutions, grows as the stores on its platform increase their sales. As Shopify's customers do better, it does better. With merchant solutions up 51% year over year to $788 million, it's clear that countless businesses on Shopify are succeeding.Shopify isn't consistently profitable and is best valued by comparing its stock price with its revenue, captured by the price-to-sales (PS) metric.SHOP PS Ratio data by YChartsAfter an elevated valuation during most of 2020 and 2021, Shopify's PS ratio has returned to pre-pandemic levels after the recent sell-off. While investors shouldn't expect Shopify to return to previous valuation highs, revenue growth going forward should directly correlate with its stock price if current valuation levels are maintained. With revenue growing 46% overall and Shopify expanding with larger businesses, the future is bright for the company's stock.2. AlphabetContrasting Shopify's high growth and unprofitability is Alphabet -- the parent company of Google and YouTube -- which also has high growth but is insanely profitable. With its search engine and video sharing market dominance, Alphabet's primary offerings are unlikely to be disrupted by competitors.SegmentMarket ShareGoogle Search Engine86%YouTube76%Data source: Statista and Datanyze.Because of each segment's supremacy, it can offer advertisers a diverse audience, making Alphabet a valuable advertising partner. While advertising spending grew marginally during 2020, 2021 was a different story. Google's Q3 search ad revenue grew 44% to $37.9 billion -- for context, Shopify's gross merchandise volume for Q3 was $41.8 billion. Comparing the incredible 44% growth with Q3 2020's mere 3% showcases how advertising businesses fare during difficult economic times. On the YouTube side, growth was similar at 43%, but revenue was much less than its search engine division at $7.2 billion.At its core, Alphabet is an advertising business. Because advertisement spending tends to drop during recessions -- it dropped by 13% across the board during the 2008 recession -- Alphabet will likely receive a lower valuation due to this risk.GOOG PE Ratio data by YChartsStill, a 29 price-to-earnings ratio is dirt cheap for a company growing its earnings at a 71% clip. As long as the economy doesn't grind to a halt, Alphabet's advertisement business will continue providing absurd growth numbers.One division that isn't a market leader is Google Cloud. It only has an 8% market share versus Amazon Web Services' 32% and Microsoft Azure's 21%, according to Statista. With Azure growing 46% during the fourth quarter, investors need to watch Alphabet's Q4 earnings report to see if Google Cloud is gaining ground or if it is struggling against its bigger competitors. Regardless, if advertisement revenue continues to increase, Alphabet will still report strong earnings.With most of the correction concerns circling around interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, it hardly affects Shopify's and Alphabet's business. Although the stock prices may mean some short-term pain, each business is focused on the long term, just like investors should be. Purchasing both these stocks on sale and holding for three to five years allows investors to reap the benefits of a growing business while riding out any market-induced volatility in the stock prices. Both these stocks are attractively valued, so it could be a great time to take advantage of the market's short-term thinking to own two long-term winners today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":480,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3580699589385230","authorId":"3580699589385230","name":"Mr. T","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ffcbb09604bf679c78d4b172e4ad0c39","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3580699589385230","authorIdStr":"3580699589385230"},"content":"Good idea, but some good deals out there now.","text":"Good idea, but some good deals out there now.","html":"Good idea, but some good deals out there now."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9091509626,"gmtCreate":1643890430011,"gmtModify":1676533868158,"author":{"id":"4089015496438250","authorId":"4089015496438250","name":"TanKN","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/592ead705480983021b997853a5fd360","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089015496438250","authorIdStr":"4089015496438250"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Microsoft lah","listText":"Microsoft lah","text":"Microsoft lah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9091509626","repostId":"2208851365","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2208851365","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1643875554,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2208851365?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-03 16:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: Microsoft vs. Sony","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2208851365","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Which tech juggernaut will be a stronger investment this year?","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT) and <b>Sony</b> (NYSE:SONY) operate very different business models, but they have overlapping interests in the video game market.

Both stocks are still worth buying today, but I believe Microsoft will still outperform Sony -- as it did over the past five years -- once again in 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":609,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9093310886,"gmtCreate":1643515034428,"gmtModify":1676533827680,"author":{"id":"4089015496438250","authorId":"4089015496438250","name":"TanKN","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/592ead705480983021b997853a5fd360","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089015496438250","authorIdStr":"4089015496438250"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9093310886","repostId":"2207013618","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2207013618","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1643510178,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2207013618?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-30 10:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"My 5 Favorite Electric Vehicle Stocks For 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2207013618","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The recent sell-off in electric vehicle stocks presents an attractive buying opportunity.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>A bright future for electric vehicles (EVs) sent the stocks of EV companies soaring over the last couple of years. The resultant high valuations of EV stocks have so far kept value-seeking investors at bay. That may, however, change soon. Several top EV stocks have corrected to some extent recently, making them more attractive.</p><p>Here are my favorite five EV stocks that look attractive right now.</p><h2>1. ChargePoint Holdings</h2><p>The stock of leading electric vehicle charging company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CHPT\"><b>ChargePoint</b> <b>Holdings </b></a> has fallen 69% in a year and 34% so far in January. The stock&#39;s steep fall has made it more attractive. Investors adopted a more cautious approach toward EV stocks, including ChargePoint, after their significant rise in early last year.</p><p>ChargePoint stock&#39;s forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio has fallen to nearly 11 from more than 28 in July last year. The ratio is also lower than ChargePoint&#39;s average ratio of 19 in the last year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b1ea1a8ca83a40482d93044f37c26c0\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>CHPT P/S Ratio (Forward 1 year) data by YCharts</p><p>ChargePoint&#39;s ratio compares favorably with its peers <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">Blink Charging</a></b> and <b>EVgo</b>, though it&#39;s higher than <b>Volta&#39;s </b>ratio.</p><p>ChargePoint is growing its network and revenue quickly. It has around 163,000 charging ports globally. In the third quarter, the company&#39;s revenue grew 79% year over year. However, profitability is a key challenge for ChargePoint. Notably, none of the EV charging companies are profitable yet.</p><p>Still, EV charging companies should become profitable in the future, considering that the demand for EV charging infrastructure is expected to remain strong and grow over time. It remains to be seen how EV charging companies will monetize this growth, but as a leading company, ChargePoint looks better placed than others to benefit from this growth.</p><h2>2. Ford Motor Company</h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\"><b>Ford Motor Company</b> </a> is investing heavily in electric vehicles. It intends to spend more than $30 billion on EVs through 2025. Its plans include setting up a nearly 6-square-mile campus in Tennessee to build electric F-Series pickups and batteries. Also, the company has partnered with Korea&#39;s SK Innovation to set up two battery plants in Kentucky. Ford is setting up an EV plant in Germany as well.</p><p>Ford intends to make 40% to 50% of all its vehicles electric by 2030. The automaker wants to become the second-largest electric vehicle manufacturer in the next couple of years. Notably, even if Ford delivers according to its plans, half of its sales would still be internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030.</p><p>Even if Ford&#39;s profit margins and stock prices don&#39;t rise dramatically from the current levels, Ford looks poised to grow in the EV segment. Ford seems to have a better chance of establishing itself as a top EV maker than most of the new pure-play EV companies.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a30592639d4c1e142896a57fa199be7f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Image source: Volkswagen.</p><h2>3. Volkswagen</h2><p><b>Volkswagen </b>(OTC:VWAGY) delivered 8.9 million vehicles globally in 2021. Of these, 452,900 units, or 5.1%, were battery electric vehicles (BEVs). That&#39;s significantly higher from 2020 when BEVs accounted for just 2.5% of Volkswagen&#39;s total vehicle sales. In the U.S., Volkswagen sold 37,200 BEVs in 2021, capturing the second-highest share of the U.S. BEV market.</p><p>Though BEVs are a small percentage of Volkswagen&#39;s total sales right now, the company expects half of its sales to be electric by 2030. Volkswagen intends to spend 52 billion Euros on electrification through 2026. In short, the top automaker is positioning itself to be a key player in the EV market in the long term.</p><h2>4. Lucid Group</h2><p>Among pure-play EV companies, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LCID\"><b>Lucid Group</b> </a> looks interesting. Starting deliveries in October last year, Lucid beat established EV maker <b>Tesla</b> in terms of range. With a range of 520 miles, Lucid&#39;s Air model offered at least 100 miles of additional range over Tesla&#39;s Model S. Attractive designs and features helped Lucid Air bag <i>MotorTrend&#39;s</i> Car of the Year Award.</p><p>The company has more than 17,000 reservations for the Lucid Air. Moreover, Lucid has robust growth plans. It plans to expand in international markets, starting with Saudi Arabia and Europe. Lucid plans to launch a new model, Gravity, in 2023. Overall, things look positive for Lucid so far. The company has immense growth potential and a long runway.</p><p>It is, however, important to note that Lucid faces stiff competition from new EV companies as well as legacy car companies. Secondly, though Lucid&#39;s initial deliveries have received a positive response, the company has yet to produce profitably at scale. In short, spreading your bets across top stocks could be the best way to invest in the volatile and evolving EV sector.</p><h2>5. BYD</h2><p>Chinese automaker $<b>BYD</b> (OTC:BYDDY)$ is the fourth-largest EV maker in the world after Tesla, Volkswagen, and SAIC. BYD sold roughly 320,000 BEVs in 2021.</p><p>The company has been growing its sales rapidly. In the first nine months of 2021, BYD&#39;s sales grew 38% year over year. In December, plug-in vehicles accounted for almost 95% of BYD&#39;s vehicle sales. In addition to vehicles, BYD derives a chunk of its revenue from mobile handset components, rechargeable batteries, and solar products.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","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>My 5 Favorite Electric Vehicle Stocks For 2022</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\">\nMy 5 Favorite Electric Vehicle Stocks For 2022\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-01-30 10:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/29/my-5-favorite-electric-vehicle-stocks-for-2022/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A bright future for electric vehicles (EVs) sent the stocks of EV companies soaring over the last couple of years.
