inflation in October sparked speculation the Federal Reserve might become less aggressive with interest rate hikes.</p><p>Stocks in sectors across the board surged as the latest consumer price data cheered investors worried that ongoing interest rate hikes could hobble the U.S. economy.</p><p>One-time Wall Street darlings tarnished in 2022&#39;s bear market were among Thursday&#39;s strongest performers, with Nvidia jumping about 14%, Meta Platforms climbing 10% and Alphabet rising 7.6%.</p><p>The Labor Department&#39;s data showed the annual CPI number below 8% for the first time in eight months.</p><p>&#34;This is a big deal,&#34; said King Lip, chief strategist at Baker Avenue Asset Management in San Francisco. &#34;We have been calling the peak of inflation for the last couple of months and just have been incredibly frustrated that it hasn’t shown up in the data. For the first time, it has actually shown up in the data.&#34;</p><p>Growing recession worries have hammered Wall Street this year. The S&amp;P 500 remains down about 17% year to date, and it is on course for its biggest annual decline since 2008.</p><p>The inflation data prompted traders to adjust rate hike bets, with odds of a 50-basis point rate hike in December, rather than a 75-basis point hike, jumping to about 85% from 52% before the data was released, according to the CME FedWatch tool.</p><p>San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan welcomed the most recent inflation data, but warned that the fight with rising priceswas far from over.</p><p>Amazon.com Inc surged more than 12% after the Wall Street Journal reported that the e-commerce heavyweight was reviewing unprofitable business unitsto cut costs.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26cc495baa1612e31596cfe111710352\" tg-width=\"900\" tg-height=\"700\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>S&amp;P 500&#39;s busiest trades</span></p><p>The S&amp;P 500 climbed 5.54% to end the session at 3,956.31 points.</p><p>The Nasdaq gained 7.35% to 11,114.15 points, while Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3.70% to 33,715.37 points.</p><p>All 11 S&amp;P 500 sector indexes rallied, led by information technology, up 8.33%, followed by a 7.74% gain in real estate.</p><p>The Philadelphia semiconductor index surged 10.2%, cutting its loss in 2022 to about 32%.</p><p>The CBOE volatility index (VIX), also known as Wall Street&#39;s fear gauge, fell to a near two-month low of about 23 points.</p><p>Some investors urged caution that Thursday&#39;s rally may be overdone.</p><p>&#34;The market is - as it has been a few times this year - very eager to trade a &#39;Fed pivot&#39; ... but we think the market is getting a little ahead of itself based on one print,&#34; said Zach Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments in Charlotte.</p><p>The PHLX Housing index jumped 10.3% to its highest since August after tumbling this year over concerns about higher mortgage rates denting affordability.</p><p>Rivian Automotive Inc surged 17.4% after the electric-vehicle maker reported a smaller-than-expected loss, higher number of pre-orders and reaffirmed its full-year production outlook.</p><p>The Dow has now recovered about 17% from its closing low on Sept. 30, and it remains down about 9% from its record high close in early January.</p><p>Advancing issues outnumbered falling ones within the S&amp;P 500 by a 26.9-to-one ratio.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 posted 19 new highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 120 new highs and 166 new lows.</p><p>Volume on U.S. exchanges was heavy, with 14.9 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 11.9 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.</li><li>My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).</li><li>At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.</li></ul><h2><b>The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and Meta</b></h2><p>For both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world&#39;s most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet&#39;s most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.</p><p>The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash &amp; ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody&#39;s credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.</p><p>Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody&#39;s).

However, Alphabet&#39;s other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet&#39;s total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).</p><p>While having a deeper look into Meta&#39;s business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company&#39;s revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.</p><p>This comparison of the companies&#39; advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta&#39;s business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta&#39;s significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.</p><p>Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company&#39;s high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.</p><p>Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta&#39;s revenue by about$10 billion.</p><p>Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.</p><h2><b>The Bottom Line</b></h2><p>I consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet&#39;s Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta&#39;s $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash &amp; ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody&#39;s compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.</p><p>My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).</p><p>When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta&#39;s revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta&#39;s high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.</p><p>The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.</p><p>Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?</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>Google Vs.

I consider Alphabet to be even more attractive when it comes to risk and reward.My investment thesis is underlined by the results of theHQC Scorecardin which Alphabet scores 91/100 while Meta scores 80/100. Furthermore, it is supported by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, in which Alphabet is ranked 2nd within the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61).At the current stock prices, I expect a compound annual rate of return of about 18% for Alphabet and one of 16% for Meta. Both are based on the calculations of my DCF Models.The Competitive Positions of Alphabet and MetaFor both Alphabet and Meta I see the enormous amount of data and their ability to analyse and use this data as strong competitive advantages over their rivals in the Interactive Media and Services Industry. In addition to that, both companies are among the top 10 of the world's most valuable brands: according toBrand Finance, Google is ranked 3rd with a brand value of $263,425M and Facebook is ranked 7th with a brand value of $101,201M.Both Alphabet and Meta have a proven ability of successfully integrating new businesses into their companies. One of Alphabet's most successful acquisitions was YouTube, for which the company paid $1.65 billion back in 2006. Meta acquired Instagram for$1.0 billionin 2012 and WhatsApp for$19 billionin 2014.The enormous financial strength of Alphabet and Meta provide them with another significant competitive advantage: while Alphabet has $124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments at this moment in time, Meta currently disposes of $40,489M. Having a high amount of cash puts both companies in a position to make large acquisitions in order to ensure further future growth. This financial strength is also backed up by a Moody's credit rating of Aa2 for Alphabet and A1 for Meta.Both Alphabet and Meta have strong competitive advantages. However, I would like to summarize that Alphabet is slightly ahead of Meta when it comes to brand value (Alphabet has a brand value of $263,425M while the one of Facebook is $101,201M) and when considering financial strength (Alphabet has a higher cash position and a stronger credit rating by Moody's). This supports my investment thesis to prefer Alphabet over Meta.The Valuation of Alphabet and MetaDiscounted Cash Flow [DCF]-ModelIn terms of valuation, I have used the DCF Model to determine the intrinsic value of Alphabet and Meta.

Meta currently has a slightly lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 when compared to Alphabet (19.05).Although Meta's EBIT Margin (33.41% compared to Alphabet's 29.65%) and Free Cash Flow Yield [TTM] (9.27% compared to 4.97%) are higher, the following contributes to the fact that I would select Alphabet if I had to choose one of the two companies from the Interactive Media and Services Industry:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than Meta's (25.48%), which implies that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits.Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than that of Meta (with an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% in the same period of time).In addition to that, Alphabet's EPS Growth Rate Diluted [FWD] of 27.01% is higher than the one of Meta (3.12%), indicating that Alphabet is growing its profitability with a higher rate.Additionally, Alphabet's Free Cash Flow Per Share Growth Rate [FWD] of 24.39% is significantly superior to Meta's (4.23%), demonstrating that Alphabet's potential to produce cash and profits is growing faster than its rival's.This analysis of the companies' fundamentals strengthens my investment thesis that Alphabet is currently the more attractive of the two.

These strong results are a consequence of both companies having a low Total Debt to Equity Ratio, as well as a high Current Ratio (Alphabet's is 2.81 and Meta's is 2.52), Quick Ratio (2.62 and 2.34) and Cash Ratio (2.0 and 1.8).In the category of Profitability, both companies are rated with 100/100 points, a result of having high EBIT Margins (Alphabet's is 29.65% and Meta's is 33.41%) and high ROE's (29.22% and 25.48%).For Valuation, Alphabet receives 80/100 while Meta gets 92/100. Meta's higher scoring in this category is a consequence of its even lower P/E [FWD] Ratio of 14.30 as compared to Alphabet's 19.05.For Growth, Alphabet receives 88/100 and Meta gets 76/100.For Expected Return, both receive 100/100 points, this is mostly due to the high Expected Internal Rate of Return for the companies as according to my DCF Model.Alphabet's higher overall rating (91/100) as according to the HQC Scorecard, strengthens my opinion of choosing the company over Meta at this moment in time.Alphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor GradesWhen taking into consideration the Seeking Alpha Quant Factor Grades, we can see that Meta is rated slightly better in terms of Valuation (with a C-) as compared to Alphabet (D rating). In terms of Growth, however, Alphabet (C- rating) is better rated than Meta (D- rating). For Profitability, both companies receive an A+ rating. For Momentum, Alphabet is more appealing (C+) than Meta (C rating).Alphabet's better rating in terms of Growth and Momentum once again underlines my investment thesis.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Quant RankingMy investment thesis is also underlined by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking where Alphabet is ranked significantly better than Meta: while Alphabet is 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry, Meta is ranked 14th (both out of 61). Within the Communication Services Sector, Alphabet is currently ranked 7th and Meta is in 52nd place (both out of 247). The Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking reinforces my opinion to select Alphabet over Meta.Source: Seeking AlphaAlphabet and Meta According to the Seeking Alpha Authors Rating and Wall Street Analysts RatingAs according to the Seeking Alpha Quant Rating, Alphabet is currently a strong buy and Meta a hold. The Seeking Alpha Authors rate both companies as a buy while the Wall Street Analysts rate Alphabet as a strong buy and Meta as a buy.Source: Seeking AlphaRisksOne of the main risk factors I see for both Alphabet and Meta is the fact that the largest portion of the companies' business results depend on advertising.When taking a closer look at Alphabet, it can be highlighted that80%of the company's revenue is generated by its business unit Google Advertising. However, Alphabet's other business units are becoming more and more important (in 2Q22, Google Cloud accounted for 9% of Alphabet's total revenue while it was only 7.5% in the same quarter of the year before).While having a deeper look into Meta's business, we find that its dependency on advertising is even higher than that of its competitor:98%of the company's revenue is generated by advertising from Facebook and Instagram.This comparison of the companies' advertising dependency indicates that a reduction in customer spending on marketing would impact Meta's business to a higher amount than it would affect Alphabet. Meta's significantly higher dependence on advertising contributes to the fact that I see an investment in Alphabet as being less risky.Another additional risk factor when investing in Meta is the company's high spending to build the metaverse. In 2021 alone, the company spent about$10 billionthrough its Reality Labs division in order to build the metaverse. This amount is five times higher than what the company paid to buyOculus VR business in 2014and 10 times higher than the amountit paid to buy Instagramback in 2012. Although the investments could pay off in the future, they currently represent a risk for the shareholders due to the fact that the success of this project is not yet foreseeable.Additionally, I see the effect that data privacy will continue to have on the operating results of Meta as an additional risk factor for the company. At the beginning of this year, Alphabet announced new privacy restrictions which cut tracking across apps on its Android devices, following a similar move to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). This resulted in a decrease of Meta's revenue by about$10 billion.Summarizing, I see Alphabet as the lower-risk investment when compared with Meta, which once again underlines my thoughts on picking Alphabet out of the two. This lower risk also contributes to the fact that I would overweight the Alphabet position in an investment portfolio. On the other hand, the higher risk factors concerning Meta, contribute to my opinion of giving the company a small position in a long-term investment portfolio.The Bottom LineI consider the valuation of both Alphabet and Meta to currently be very appealing. However, when considering risk and reward, I came to the conclusion of selecting Alphabet over Meta. My opinion is based on the following facts and thoughts:Alphabet's ROE of 29.22% is higher than the one of Meta (25.48%), implying that Alphabet is even more efficient in converting its equity financing into profits. Furthermore, Alphabet's Average EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] over the last three years of 33.92% is also higher than the one of Meta (which has an EBIT Growth Rate [CAGR] of 22.80% over the same period).Alphabet's higher brand value ($263,425M as compared to Meta's $101,201M), as well as its higher cash position ($124,997M in Total Cash & ST Investments vs. $40,489M) and higher credit rating (Aa2 credit rating by Moody's compared to A1) additionally support my investment thesis to select the company over Meta.My opinion is further underlined by the rating of the HQC Scorecard in which Alphabet scores 91/100 points while Meta scores 80/100. Additionally, the theory is strengthened by the results of the Seeking Alpha Quant Ranking, where Alphabet is ranked 2nd in the Interactive Media and Services Industry while Meta is 14th (both out of 61).When it comes to risk, I also see Alphabet as being ahead of Meta. Alphabet is less dependent on its advertising business: while 98% of Meta's revenue is from Facebook and Instagram advertising, Alphabet generates about 80% of its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, Alphabet is becoming more independent from its advertising business through the increasing revenue of its cloud business. In addition to that, Meta's high spending in the metaverse implies an additional risk factor for the Meta shareholder.The investment thesis of selecting Alphabet over Meta is also reflected in my own personal long-term investment portfolio, in which Alphabet holds one of my largest positions, while Meta only has a small position. My investment decision has been based on the fact that I consider Alphabet to be significantly more attractive than Meta in terms of risk and reward.Which is your favorite out of Alphabet and Meta?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":856,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"followers","isTTM":true}
