This acceleration is due to multiple factors. The first one is the continuing strong performance from new products, and there is no sign that this trend is going to end. During the last quarter, Apple released iPhone SE with 5 G technology, iPad Air with M1 chip, all-new Mac Studio, and all-new Apple Studio Display.</p><p>As mentioned before, Apple currently has 1.8 B active device bases, and the number is expected to grow with the release of new products. The active base has been growing at about 100-150 million per year (1.4 B, 1.5 B, 1.65 B, and 1.8 B in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively). Also, this larger installed base will translate into greater revenue growth from AppleCare, advertising, and cloud services. Currently, Apple has about 785 M subscribers to these services.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac35dc5d8146da0ab3d88270dbc0b6db\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Data by YCharts</p><h4>Favorable Valuation Thanks to Volatility</h4><p>Ongoing volatility caused by supply chain disruption, inflation, war, and Federal Reserve&#39;s changing policies dragged the whole tech sector severely down. Nasdaq index is down from 16,000 in November 2021 to below 12,000. This volatility dragged great companies like Apple along, and now Apple stock is trading below its pre-pandemic level (current P/E ratio of 23.8x vs. pre-pandemic P/E around 25.5x). This presents a great opportunity for investors to grab Apple shares at a bargain.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60f28dab37b8c21b885a326a9994c721\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"386\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Nasdaq Index (CNBC)</p><h2>Intrinsic Value Estimation</h2><p>I used DCF model to estimate the intrinsic value of Apple. For the estimation, I utilized current EBITDA ($130 B) as a proxy for cash flow and WACC of 9.0% as the discount rate. For the base case, I assumed EBITDA growth of 20% (Sector median) for the next 5 years and zero growth afterwards (zero terminal growth). For the bullish and very bullish case, I assumed EBITDA growth of 22% and 24%, respectively, for the next 5 years and zero growth afterwards.</p><p>The estimation revealed that the current stock price presents 20-30% upside. Given their technological superiority, organic/inorganic growth, and market dominance, I expect them to achieve this upside with ease.</p><table><tbody><tr><td></td><td><p>Price Target</p></td><td><p>Upside</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Base Case</p></td><td><p>$170.23</p></td><td><p>16%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bullish Case</p></td><td><p>$182.92</p></td><td><p>24%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Very Bullish Case</p></td><td><p>$196.41</p></td><td><p>34%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The assumptions and data used for the price target estimation are summarized below:</p><ul><li>WACC: 9.0%</li><li>EBITDA Growth Rate: 20% (Base Case), 22% (Bullish Case), 24% (Very Bullish Case)</li><li>Current EBITDA: $130 B</li><li>Current Stock Price: $147.11 (05/14/2022)</li><li>Tax rate: 20%</li></ul><h2>Cappuccino Stock Rating</h2><p>The details of the metric is explained in this article.</p><table><colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td></td><td>Weighting</td><td>AAPL</td></tr><tr><td>Economic Moat Strength</td><td>30%</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>Financial Strength</td><td>30%</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>Growth Rate vs. Sector</td><td>15%</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>Margin of Safety</td><td>15%</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>Sector Outlook</td><td>10%</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td><b>Overall</b></td><td></td><td><b>4.3</b></td></tr></tbody></table><h4><b>Economic Moat Strength - 5/5</b></h4><p>Apple gets 5 out of 5. Apple is a clear leader with exceptional competitive edge. Their competitive edge stems from technological superiority, switching costs, and network effects.</p><h4><b>Financial Strength - 4/5</b></h4><p>Apple has $51.5 B in cash and a high covered ratio (45.13x), but their liquidity (current ratio at 0.93x and quick ratio of 0.76x) is in line with the sector.</p><h4><b>Growth Rate - 3/5</b></h4><p>Apple is growing at a pace consistent with their overall industry. Apple’s most recent annual revenue growth was 18.63% (vs. sector median of 19.98%). Given their leadership position and strong revenue, these revenue growth numbers are great. However, compared to hyper growth companies in the start-up or ramping-up phase with 50-60% growth rates, it’s hard to give out 4 or 5 stars.</p><h4><b>Margin of Safety - 5/5</b></h4><p>Apple is trading ~25% under intrinsic value at this point. The ongoing market volatility and tech sector struggles are providing a great opportunity to grab Apple’s shares under intrinsic value. Their P/E ratio is below pre-pandemic level, which just doesn&#39;t make sense.</p><h4><b>Sector Outlook - 4/5</b></h4><p>The tech sector will keep on growing at a rapid pace with new technology and markets, but the smartphone and laptop segments won’t be the fastest growing segment in tech. There will be adequate, but not exceptional, growth.</p><h2>Risk</h2><p>Apple&#39;s main segment is still the iPhone, and competition within the smartphone market is only increasing and getting complex. Also, consumer preference is diversifying in terms of preferred features (camera quality, computing/memory performance, weight/size, etc.). The iPhone family still commands a leadership position based on technological superiority, switching cost, and brand image, so I don&#39;t expect Apple to struggle. However, I wouldn&#39;t expect large growth from the iPhone segment in the future.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5030495bf9b76a7a51f6dd535431666c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"370\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Global Smartphone Market Share (Counterpoint)</p><p>As mentioned before, Apple has been moving towards self-sufficiency by manufacturing their own parts. So far, the effort has impacted the business in a positive way by improving margins and mitigating supply chain disruption. However, relying on their own parts can result in isolation, lower technological development, and less market penetration. One example is the Japanese cellphone makers (Panasonic, Sharp, or NEC). They were way ahead in terms of innovation, but they failed to achieve global success. This is an extreme case, and I don&#39;t expect this will be the problem for Apple. However, investors should monitor whether Apple is maintaining its cutting-edge technology as they transition towards being more self-sufficient.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Apple has been an outstanding investment for a couple of decades at this point. Their technological superiority, brand image, and switching cost provide a great economic moat, and new products and services will keep their growth engine running. Based on their strong financials and market leading position, I expect Apple to excel in the foreseeable future. I expect 20-30% upside.</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>Apple: One Big Time Sale</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\">\nApple: One Big Time Sale\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-16 23:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4511930-apple-one-big-time-sale><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investment ThesisApple (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs, manufactures, and distributes smartphones, personal computers, wearables, and related services.

Their competitive edge stems from technological superiority, switching costs, and network effects.Financial Strength - 4/5Apple has $51.5 B in cash and a high covered ratio (45.13x), but their liquidity (current ratio at 0.93x and quick ratio of 0.76x) is in line with the sector.Growth Rate - 3/5Apple is growing at a pace consistent with their overall industry. Apple’s most recent annual revenue growth was 18.63% (vs. sector median of 19.98%). Given their leadership position and strong revenue, these revenue growth numbers are great. However, compared to hyper growth companies in the start-up or ramping-up phase with 50-60% growth rates, it’s hard to give out 4 or 5 stars.Margin of Safety - 5/5Apple is trading ~25% under intrinsic value at this point. The ongoing market volatility and tech sector struggles are providing a great opportunity to grab Apple’s shares under intrinsic value. Their P/E ratio is below pre-pandemic level, which just doesn't make sense.Sector Outlook - 4/5The tech sector will keep on growing at a rapid pace with new technology and markets, but the smartphone and laptop segments won’t be the fastest growing segment in tech. There will be adequate, but not exceptional, growth.RiskApple's main segment is still the iPhone, and competition within the smartphone market is only increasing and getting complex. Also, consumer preference is diversifying in terms of preferred features (camera quality, computing/memory performance, weight/size, etc.). The iPhone family still commands a leadership position based on technological superiority, switching cost, and brand image, so I don't expect Apple to struggle. However, I wouldn't expect large growth from the iPhone segment in the future.Global Smartphone Market Share (Counterpoint)As mentioned before, Apple has been moving towards self-sufficiency by manufacturing their own parts. So far, the effort has impacted the business in a positive way by improving margins and mitigating supply chain disruption. However, relying on their own parts can result in isolation, lower technological development, and less market penetration. One example is the Japanese cellphone makers (Panasonic, Sharp, or NEC). They were way ahead in terms of innovation, but they failed to achieve global success. This is an extreme case, and I don't expect this will be the problem for Apple. However, investors should monitor whether Apple is maintaining its cutting-edge technology as they transition towards being more self-sufficient.ConclusionApple has been an outstanding investment for a couple of decades at this point. Their technological superiority, brand image, and switching cost provide a great economic moat, and new products and services will keep their growth engine running. Based on their strong financials and market leading position, I expect Apple to excel in the foreseeable future. I expect 20-30% upside.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":969,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9092187198,"gmtCreate":1644554787612,"gmtModify":1676533940832,"author":{"id":"4098504382465600","authorId":"4098504382465600","name":"June C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fac5bed9db8c0861754b3d78815e076e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4098504382465600","authorIdStr":"4098504382465600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I bought!&nbsp;","listText":"I bought!&nbsp;","text":"I bought!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9092187198","repostId":"1113677136","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":584,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9091155543,"gmtCreate":1643812753140,"gmtModify":1676533858906,"author":{"id":"4098504382465600","authorId":"4098504382465600","name":"June C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fac5bed9db8c0861754b3d78815e076e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4098504382465600","authorIdStr":"4098504382465600"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is it a good time to buy the dip?","listText":"Is it a good time to buy the dip?","text":"Is it a good time to buy the dip?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9091155543","repostId":"1116723156","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1116723156","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1643812454,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1116723156?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-02-02 22:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PayPal shares dive 22% after company blames inflation for weak guidance","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116723156","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"PayPal shares dive 22% after company blames inflation for weak guidance.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>PayPal shares dive 22% after company blames inflation for weak guidance.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09aab62578244f6c6518a554a97e43a2\" tg-width=\"709\" tg-height=\"591\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Highflying technology stocks that could change the course of the world have been under pressure, as benchmark bond yields turn up with the promise of a Federal Reserve that is closing the purse-strings of too-loose monetary policy.</p><p>Economists and market participants are predicting three, four, maybe as many as seven interest-rate increases, of about a 0.25 percentage points each, this year to tackle inflationary pressures that have gotten out of hand.</p><p>Read:What to expect from markets in the next six weeks, before the Federal Reserve revamps its easy-money stance</p><p>The upshot is that borrowing costs for individuals and companies are going up and the cheap costs of funds that helped to fuel a protracted bull market is going away.</p><p>Those factors have contributed partly to one of the ugliest January declines in the history of the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index, which is down nearly 12%, with a single session left in the month, leaving one final attempt to avoid its worst monthly decline since October of 2008, FactSet data show.</p><p><b>What&#39;s an investor to do?</b></p><p>Jason Katz, senior portfolio manager at UBS Financial Services, says that he&#39;s had an &#34;increased volume of hand-holding calls&#34; from his high-net worth clients.</p><p>Katz said he&#39;s telling investors that &#34;it&#39;s not about exiting the market now but making sure you are properly allocated.&#34;</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s not a systemic problem we have in [financial markets], it&#39;s a rerating,&#34; of assets that fueled a speculative boom.</p><p>&#34;You had a whole constituency of investments that should have never traded to where they did,&#34; Katz said, &#34;Aspirational stocks, meme stocks...all fueled by fiscal and monetary stimulus and this year it is about a great rerating,&#34; of those assets, he said.</p><p>Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities Corporation, told MarketWatch that losses come with the territory of investing but investors tend to feel it more acutely when stocks go down.</p><p>&#34;It is our nature to feel losses more sharply than we enjoy gains. That is why selloffs always seem much more painful than rallies feel pleasurable,&#34; Hogan said.</p><p>It is always important to note the difference between investing and trading. Traders purchase assets for the short term, while investors tend to buy assets with specific goals and time horizons in mind. Traders need to know when to take their losses, and live to trade another day, but investors who usually have time on their side need to invoke different tactics.</p><p>That is not to say that investors shouldn&#39;t also be adept enough to cut their losses when the narrative shifts but such decisions should hinge on a change in the overall thesis for owning assets.</p><p>Hogan said that investors considering bailing on markets now need to ask themselves a few questions if they are &#34;afraid.&#34;</p><p>&#34;&#39;Have my reasons, for investing changed?&#39;&#34;</p><p>&#34;&#39;Have my goals changed? Has my time horizon for the money changed?,&#39;&#34; he said.</p><p>&#34;Most importantly, ask yourself the question: &#39;Am I skillful enough to get back into the market after the average drawdown has occurred,&#39;&#34; he said. &#34;They certainly, don&#39;t ring a bell at the [stock market] bottom,&#34; Hogan said.</p><p>Data from the Schwab Center for Financial Research, examining a group of hypothetical investors over a 20-year time period, also supports the idea that being out of stocks, and in cash, for example, is unlikely to outperform investing in equities, even if investors were badly timing the market.</p><p>&#34;The best course of action for most of us is to create an appropriate plan and take action on that plan as soon as possible. It&#39;s nearly impossible to accurately identify market bottoms on a regular basis,&#34; according to findings from Schwab&#39;s research.</p><p>To be sure, the market going forward is likely to be tough sledding for investors, with some speculating about the possibility of a recession. The Russell 2000 index  entered a bear market last week, falling at least 20% from its recent peak. And the yields for the 10-year and 2-year Treasury notes have compressed, usually viewed as a sign of an impending recession if the yields for shorter dated bonds rise above those for longer maturities.</p><p>And the rest of the stock market, looks fragile, even after a Friday flourish into the close, other equity bourses are looking at big monthly losses. Beyond the Nasdaq Composite, the Dow Jones Industrial Average  is down 4.4% so far in January, the S&amp;P 500 index is off 7% thus far in the month and the Russell 2000 index is down 12.3% month to date.</p><p>Katz said that he&#39;s advising many of his clients to look for quality stocks. &#34;</p><p>&#34;High-quality growth and tech names have been wearing the black eye for [speculative tech], but &#34;those [quality] stocks are starting to find their footing,&#34; he said.</p><p>Indeed, Apple Inc.<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a>, for example, surged 7% on Friday to mark its best percentage gain since July 31, 2020.</p><p>Katz also said international, and developing markets are good investments as well as small and midcap stocks. &#34;I would remain long equities here, it&#39;s just the right equities,&#34; the UBS wealth manager said.</p><p>That said, wild intra and interday price swings are likely to continue to be a feature of this phase in financial markets, as the economy transitions from the COVID-19 pandemic and toward a regime of higher rates.</p><p>But slumps don&#39;t necessarily mean the end of the world.</p><p>&#34;Not every pullback becomes a correction, and not every correction becomes a bear...and not every bear becomes a diaster,&#34; Katz said.</p><p>Hogan said that downturns also can be viewed as opportunities.</p><p>&#34;Volatility is a feature not a bug, and the price we pay for the long-term higher average returns in the U.S. equity market,&#34; he said.</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>Is It Time to Bail out of the Stock Market?

Let&#39;s see how this hot tech trend could give Micron a nice boost in 2022 -- and in the long run -- and amplify the company&#39;s growth prospects.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5df4a93c8be1aeda13b7d2b5f593028b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>The metaverse can boost memory demand</h2><p>Wall Street sees the metaverse creating the need for more storage. Lee Seung-woo of South Korea-based securities firm Eugene Investment &amp; Securities in a note to investors  said that &#34;memory chips constitute a core infrastructure of [the] metaverse.&#34; Jeff Kim, an analyst at South Korean investment bank KB Securities, also points out that memory demand would increase as companies building the metaverse spend money to upgrade data center servers.</p><p>As it turns out, the metaverse would require more hyperscale data centers and edge data centers, as huge amounts of data will be shared between several end points in real-time. Imagine that you&#39;re in a virtual office inside the metaverse along with your colleagues. The data center will have to process the activities taking place inside that virtual office and deliver the same in real-time to all the users to ensure a seamless experience.</p><p>This would create a massive load on the data centers that are currently geared to tackle meetings conducted through methods such as videoconferencing, where the users simply look at a screen to interact. Simply put, the metaverse needs accelerated computing to cater to the needs of this emerging tech trend, which would create the demand for more DRAM (dynamic random-access memory).</p><p>That&#39;s because DRAM plays a critical role in enabling high-performance computing (HPC) as it reduces latency and allows the server processors to quickly access the data flowing into the data center. DRAM will help improve the computing power of data centers as well as the deployment of metaverse applications.</p><p>As a result, don&#39;t be surprised to see the DRAM market grow at a faster pace than what analysts are currently estimating right now. According to third-party estimates, the global DRAM market could generate $173 billion in revenue by 2026, as compared to $105 billion in 2020, indicating that Micron is sitting on a secular growth opportunity.</p><h2>Why Micron Technology is a top metaverse stock to buy right now</h2><p>Micron Technology has been delivering outstanding results consistently thanks to this healthy memory demand and pricing environment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fefd85d8ed1545a84308f5f9b93d0b1a\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>MU data by YCharts</p><p>Things are about to get better for Micron on account of the memory boom, and the metaverse is going to add to the company&#39;s existing growth drivers. Not surprisingly, analysts are upbeat about Micron&#39;s future. Estimates compiled by Yahoo!

Let's see how this hot tech trend could give Micron a nice boost in 2022 -- and in the long run -- and amplify the company's growth prospects.Image source: Getty Images.The metaverse can boost memory demandWall Street sees the metaverse creating the need for more storage. Lee Seung-woo of South Korea-based securities firm Eugene Investment & Securities in a note to investors  said that \"memory chips constitute a core infrastructure of [the] metaverse.\" Jeff Kim, an analyst at South Korean investment bank KB Securities, also points out that memory demand would increase as companies building the metaverse spend money to upgrade data center servers.As it turns out, the metaverse would require more hyperscale data centers and edge data centers, as huge amounts of data will be shared between several end points in real-time. Imagine that you're in a virtual office inside the metaverse along with your colleagues. The data center will have to process the activities taking place inside that virtual office and deliver the same in real-time to all the users to ensure a seamless experience.This would create a massive load on the data centers that are currently geared to tackle meetings conducted through methods such as videoconferencing, where the users simply look at a screen to interact. Simply put, the metaverse needs accelerated computing to cater to the needs of this emerging tech trend, which would create the demand for more DRAM (dynamic random-access memory).That's because DRAM plays a critical role in enabling high-performance computing (HPC) as it reduces latency and allows the server processors to quickly access the data flowing into the data center. DRAM will help improve the computing power of data centers as well as the deployment of metaverse applications.As a result, don't be surprised to see the DRAM market grow at a faster pace than what analysts are currently estimating right now. According to third-party estimates, the global DRAM market could generate $173 billion in revenue by 2026, as compared to $105 billion in 2020, indicating that Micron is sitting on a secular growth opportunity.Why Micron Technology is a top metaverse stock to buy right nowMicron Technology has been delivering outstanding results consistently thanks to this healthy memory demand and pricing environment.MU data by YChartsThings are about to get better for Micron on account of the memory boom, and the metaverse is going to add to the company's existing growth drivers. Not surprisingly, analysts are upbeat about Micron's future. Estimates compiled by Yahoo! Finance project that Micron's revenue could grow at a faster pace of 20% in the next fiscal year, as compared to the current fiscal 2022's estimated growth of 16%.The bottom-line forecasts also paint a rosy picture, with fiscal 2022 earnings expected to increase 47% over last year, while fiscal 2023 earnings are expected to jump nearly 30%.

Apple also generated strong sales growth last year as it rolled out its first family of 5G devices, but it provides a more stable blend of value and growth.The differences between Roblox and Apple grew stark as rising inflation and interest rates rattled the tech sector.Over the past month, Roblox's stock sank more than 20% as those macroeconomic headwinds caused investors to sell their shares of expensive, speculative, and unprofitable tech companies. Roblox checked all three boxes.Meanwhile, Apple's stock rose nearly 10% as investors rotated toward safer blue-chip tech stocks.
