In an interview with CNBC this past August, Irwin opined that other automakers can ramp production of EVs and effectively replicate the success Tesla has demonstrated... but with a far more attractive valuation.</p><p>For the time being, Tesla is the clear leader in North American EV sales. After delivering 343,830 EVs during the third quarter, the company appears well on its way to surpassing 1 million deliveries in a year for the first time in its history. With the Austin, Texas, and Berlin, Germany, gigafactories coming online earlier this year, there&#39;s a good likelihood of at least 50% production and delivery growth in 2023.</p><p>Tesla also has CEO Elon Musk, who&#39;s overseen Tesla&#39;s expansion into the energy business, as well as its push into robotics. Musk brings an intangible factor to the table that can be difficult for Wall Street analysts to value.</p><p>But there are clear concerns with Tesla that I share with Irwin. Even at a forward-year multiple of 35 times Wall Street&#39;s forecast earnings, this is numerous deviations above the single-digit price-to-earnings ratios virtually all auto stocks trade at. Tesla isn&#39;t immune to the supply chain challenges and historically high inflation currently weighing on the auto industry. Its energy operations have also consistently lost money.</p><p>The other issue with Tesla is its polarizing CEO. Although he&#39;s a visionary, Musk has failed to deliver on a long list of promises. In particular, Musk&#39;s timeline for when new EVs or innovations will be introduced, such as level 5 self-driving, the Cybertruck, and the Semi, to name a few, haven&#39;t been met. Tesla&#39;s valuation has been supported by these as of now empty promises. In other words, an $85 share price target isn&#39;t entirely out of the question, in my view.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BBBY\">Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</a>: Implied downside of 49%</h2><p>A second extremely popular stock that at least one Wall Street analyst believes will leave shareholders disappointed is home furnishings retailer <b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</b>.</p><p>According to <b>Goldman Sachs</b> analyst Kate McShane, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond is headed to just $2 per share over the next 12 months. That would be a hefty 49% drop from where shares closed last week. The impetus behind McShane&#39;s diminutive price target is Bed Bath &amp; Beyond&#39;s weak second-quarter comparable-store sales and ongoing inventory problems.</p><p>At the beginning of 2020, even I had my hopes up that Bed Bath &amp; Beyond would take a page out of the <b>Best Buy</b> turnaround blueprint and right the ship. On the surface, the company&#39;s plan made sense. It would aggressively invest in direct-to-consumer sales, put money to work to improve the efficiency of its supply chain, and seek out products or brands that would help differentiate its stores and drive buying activity. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic and the company&#39;s balance sheet did it no favors.</p><p>One of the biggest problems for Bed Bath &amp; Beyond is that its products aren&#39;t differentiated. Consumers have simply chosen to shop online elsewhere. Considering that comparable-store sales declined 26% (not a typo!) in the fiscal second quarter, it&#39;s clear the company hasn&#39;t done enough to court consumers or get the right product in its stores.</p><p>But the bigger gaffe might be Bed Bath &amp; Beyond&#39;s share purchase program, which in hindsight wasted more than $1 billion in cash that it could desperately use right now.  According to the bond market, Bed Bath &amp; Beyond&#39;s $900 million bond set to mature in 2044 is trading almost 92% below its par issue price in 2014. That&#39;s often a good indication that bond investors believe Bed Bath &amp; Beyond will struggle to stay solvent.</p><p>Ultimately, McShane&#39;s price target may prove to be $2 too high, but only time will tell.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFLX\">Netflix</a>: Implied downside of 44%</h2><p>The third exceptionally popular stock that at least one Wall Street analyst is not too fond of at its current valuation is streaming giant <b>Netflix</b>.</p><p>In mid-October, following the release of the company&#39;s third-quarter operating results, Benchmark Company analyst Matthew Harrigan raised his firm&#39;s price target on the company by $5. Only problem is the new target of $162 (along with his firm&#39;s sell rating) sits 44% below where Netflix closed this past week. In an interview with CNBC in July, Harrigan noted that Netflix&#39;s moderating subscriber growth, increased competition, and low-to-mid-single-digit free cash flow yield were all reasons to be cautious.</p><p>On the one hand, Netflix has rightly commanded a premium for more than a decade thanks to its industry-leading streaming market share. During the first quarter of 2022, Netflix held a 39% share of monthly active streaming video on-demand users in the U.S., according to Sensor <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWR.AU\">Tower</a>. This success is a function of its first-mover advantage, as well as its focus on original programming. It&#39;s estimated that half of Netflix&#39;s current U.S. content library is comprised of original content.</p><p>Additionally, Netflix has always demonstrated strong pricing power and innovation. The company hasn&#39;t dealt with subscriber pushback following previously announced monthly price increases, and it recently introduced an ad-supported tier to attract users wanting a lower monthly price point.</p><p>But to echo what Harrigan said over the summer, Netflix&#39;s market share is, indeed, declining as competition builds, and the company&#39;s cash flow has always been a concern. Until recently, Netflix had been spending aggressively and burning cash to expand its reach into international markets. Even though Netflix is reasonably inexpensive on an earnings basis, it&#39;s still an incredibly pricey stock relative to what Wall Street believes it&#39;ll generate in cash flow in 2022 and 2023.</p><p>While betting against Netflix has rarely paid off over any significant length of time, it&#39;s difficult to see a scenario where its stock outperforms as competition picks up and subscriber growth slows.</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>3 of the Most Popular Stocks on the Planet Could Plunge 44% to 57%, According to Wall Street</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\">\n3 of the Most Popular Stocks on the Planet Could Plunge 44% to 57%, According to Wall Street\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-19 09:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/11/18/3-most-popular-stocks-plunge-44-to-57-wall-street/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Collectively speaking, Wall Street analysts and financial institutions are optimistic about the stock market as a whole.

Over the years, the Data Center segment has grown to become a vital fulcrum of the overall story. In Q2, this division contributed $3.8bn of revenue (that is more than any other division), accounting for 57% of NVDA’s overall topline.</p><p>When things were moving along quite smoothly here, it was rather dispiriting to note that the company had become a victim of geopolitical tensions between China and the US; in late August/early September, the US government imposed new license requirements which would hinder the ability of NVIDIA to export its A100 and upcoming H100 GPUs without much encumbrances. NVDA is now in the process of working out alternative solutions to mitigate this impact, but the initial reading is that this development could prove to impact revenues to the tune of $400 mper quarter. That would imply a roughly 11% impact on the data center business which is certainly not ideal, particularly when the other large division- gaming, continues to slow down every quarter.</p><p><b>The Implications Of The Nvidia and Oracle Partnership</b></p><p>Whilst NVIDIA continues to figure out the best course of action for the Chinese market going forward, it was heartening to read about another development a few days back- the expansion of an ongoing multiyear alliance with Oracle(ORCL), which is designed to enhance Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) positioning with its enterprise clients (these clients will now have access to all of NVDA’s AI platforms). Needless to say, this will also provide added visibility for NVIDIA’s AI, which can only be good for further and rapid adoption from other parties.</p><p>As part of the<i>“multi-year</i>” deal, OCI will be adding<i>“tens of thousands more NVIDIA GPUs, including the A100 and upcoming H100”.</i>I believe this could be a very symbiotic connection for both entities; we know that ORCL’s databases attract a plethora of companies that use them to store chunks and chunks of raw enterprise data. But just having the data isn’t enough; you need the requisite AI-ready infrastructure, and there are not too many companies that can offer what NVDA does.</p><p>Leave aside the H100 for now, which is still in the works, but using the A100 80GB GPU, OCI could cater to a diverse set of AI workloads for its clients, particularly deep learning training, and the creation of data frames, at 3x the level of an A100 40GB GPU. One can combine the A100 GPU with Oracle’s innate low latency cluster networks and you get a landscape where enterprise clients could potentially host around 500GPUs in a cluster. The “pace” and “scale” at which this mammoth data is harnessed and made sense of (how best can we address gaps in the market, how can we speed up product development, etc.) will likely make this one of the most glimmering partnerships in the industry.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/998a86b67eade99a5ece0dc7df4cf263\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"598\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>NVIDIA Website</p><p>I also feel this partnership with ORCL could more than negate the adverse impact of the recent geopolitical events, although, given the paucity of publicly disclosed numbers, one can’t be too certain of a definitive contract figure.</p><p>For instance, we don’t know the mix of A100 and H100 GPUs this Oracle partnership calls for; to be conservative, I’m considering only the A100 Tensor Core 80GB GPU which is priced at $13,999 as per public data (the H100 which could typically facilitate AI training at 9x the speed of an A100 GPU, will no doubt be priced at much superior rates). Then, “tens of thousands” could be any number from 10000 units to 99000 units, but assuming the A100 80GB GPU pricing, you’re looking at a potential boost of anything from $140m to $1400m. This is also unlikely to be limited to just hardware. There could also be a few additional millions linked to enterprise support work designed to make the AI software run more efficiently, across the subscription period, which could extend for a few years. We&#39;d have to wait for more clarity for the nuances of this deal, and one may likely get it on the 16th of November when they announceQ3results.</p><p><b>Closing Thoughts- Is NVDA Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</b></p><p>After gauging some of the other sub-plots related to the NVIDIA story, it’s fair to say that we’re looking at a rather mixed picture.</p><p>After giving up close to two-thirds of its value from lifetime highs, the forward valuations for NVDA&#39;s stock certainly look a lot more palatable. We know that the FY Jan 2023numberswill likely be nothing to write home about, with flattish revenue growth (roughly $27bn yet again) and a 24% decline in the EPS YoY.</p><p>For the FY Jan 2024 though, the narrative is likely to perk up, with expected revenue of $31.3bn and an EPS of $4.47; this would translate into a forward P/E of roughly 29x, which I believe is quite a steal when you consider that the 5-year average is a lot higher at52x! The current multiple also puts it a lot closer to the lower end of the 5-year forward P/E band of 25-99x.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d46f823f616774134a1d1a57a341e959\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"245\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>YCharts</p><p>The attractive valuation backdrop can be further substantiated by the level of earnings growth you’re getting at this multiple. An expected EPS of $4.47 translates to 33% bottom line growth, and with a P/E of just 29x, you’re staring at a forward PEG ratio of less than 1x! This feels criminally low for an enterprise which is at the forefront of bringing through critical next-generation tech.

Over the years, the Data Center segment has grown to become a vital fulcrum of the overall story. In Q2, this division contributed $3.8bn of revenue (that is more than any other division), accounting for 57% of NVDA’s overall topline.When things were moving along quite smoothly here, it was rather dispiriting to note that the company had become a victim of geopolitical tensions between China and the US; in late August/early September, the US government imposed new license requirements which would hinder the ability of NVIDIA to export its A100 and upcoming H100 GPUs without much encumbrances. NVDA is now in the process of working out alternative solutions to mitigate this impact, but the initial reading is that this development could prove to impact revenues to the tune of $400 mper quarter. That would imply a roughly 11% impact on the data center business which is certainly not ideal, particularly when the other large division- gaming, continues to slow down every quarter.The Implications Of The Nvidia and Oracle PartnershipWhilst NVIDIA continues to figure out the best course of action for the Chinese market going forward, it was heartening to read about another development a few days back- the expansion of an ongoing multiyear alliance with Oracle(ORCL), which is designed to enhance Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) positioning with its enterprise clients (these clients will now have access to all of NVDA’s AI platforms). Needless to say, this will also provide added visibility for NVIDIA’s AI, which can only be good for further and rapid adoption from other parties.As part of the“multi-year” deal, OCI will be adding“tens of thousands more NVIDIA GPUs, including the A100 and upcoming H100”.I believe this could be a very symbiotic connection for both entities; we know that ORCL’s databases attract a plethora of companies that use them to store chunks and chunks of raw enterprise data. But just having the data isn’t enough; you need the requisite AI-ready infrastructure, and there are not too many companies that can offer what NVDA does.Leave aside the H100 for now, which is still in the works, but using the A100 80GB GPU, OCI could cater to a diverse set of AI workloads for its clients, particularly deep learning training, and the creation of data frames, at 3x the level of an A100 40GB GPU. One can combine the A100 GPU with Oracle’s innate low latency cluster networks and you get a landscape where enterprise clients could potentially host around 500GPUs in a cluster. The “pace” and “scale” at which this mammoth data is harnessed and made sense of (how best can we address gaps in the market, how can we speed up product development, etc.) will likely make this one of the most glimmering partnerships in the industry.NVIDIA WebsiteI also feel this partnership with ORCL could more than negate the adverse impact of the recent geopolitical events, although, given the paucity of publicly disclosed numbers, one can’t be too certain of a definitive contract figure.For instance, we don’t know the mix of A100 and H100 GPUs this Oracle partnership calls for; to be conservative, I’m considering only the A100 Tensor Core 80GB GPU which is priced at $13,999 as per public data (the H100 which could typically facilitate AI training at 9x the speed of an A100 GPU, will no doubt be priced at much superior rates). Then, “tens of thousands” could be any number from 10000 units to 99000 units, but assuming the A100 80GB GPU pricing, you’re looking at a potential boost of anything from $140m to $1400m. This is also unlikely to be limited to just hardware. There could also be a few additional millions linked to enterprise support work designed to make the AI software run more efficiently, across the subscription period, which could extend for a few years. We'd have to wait for more clarity for the nuances of this deal, and one may likely get it on the 16th of November when they announceQ3results.Closing Thoughts- Is NVDA Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?After gauging some of the other sub-plots related to the NVIDIA story, it’s fair to say that we’re looking at a rather mixed picture.After giving up close to two-thirds of its value from lifetime highs, the forward valuations for NVDA's stock certainly look a lot more palatable. We know that the FY Jan 2023numberswill likely be nothing to write home about, with flattish revenue growth (roughly $27bn yet again) and a 24% decline in the EPS YoY.For the FY Jan 2024 though, the narrative is likely to perk up, with expected revenue of $31.3bn and an EPS of $4.47; this would translate into a forward P/E of roughly 29x, which I believe is quite a steal when you consider that the 5-year average is a lot higher at52x! The current multiple also puts it a lot closer to the lower end of the 5-year forward P/E band of 25-99x.YChartsThe attractive valuation backdrop can be further substantiated by the level of earnings growth you’re getting at this multiple. An expected EPS of $4.47 translates to 33% bottom line growth, and with a P/E of just 29x, you’re staring at a forward PEG ratio of less than 1x! This feels criminally low for an enterprise which is at the forefront of bringing through critical next-generation tech. I remain doubtful if we will see too many instances where NVDA’s forward P/E is lower than the earnings growth on offer (just for some additional context the 5-year PEG average is above8x).When I shift focus to NVIDIA’s weekly chart, there’s no evidence yet of a reversal from the downtrend that has been in play for close to a year. But, if you’re looking for green shoots, there’s decent probability that the stock attempts to build some sort of floor around the current levels, as it coincides with the congestion zone of $120-$160, last seen during August 2020-May 2021. Even if you’re bearish about NVIDIA’s prospects over the long-run, and think the descending channel pattern could continue to persist, the stock still offers decent risk-reward at current levels, as it is a long way from the upper boundary of the descending channel.InvestingHaving said that, I suspect, for the stock to make big moves on the upside you would need the spending power of the institutional cohort; but so far, they’ve shown little inclination to get on board. In fact, the latest data shows that these guys continue to bail on the stock, with the aggregate shares owned by them, declining for yet another month, to $2.579bn.YChartsBesides, based solely on the relative strength ratio of the NVIDIA stock and other options in the semi space, it doesn’t look like the former will be a prime rotational candidate; as you can see from the image below, despite correction from the +1 levels, the current RS ratio of NVDA and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) is still above the mid-point (0.55x) of the long-term range.StockchartsA similar takeaway can be gleaned from the image below which measures NVDA’s strength vs its peers from the robotic and AI space as represented by the Global X Robotics and AI ETF (BOTZ).StockchartsTo conclude, the NVDA stock is a HOLD.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":176,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"9000000000000420","authorId":"9000000000000420","name":"PorterLamb","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf65ca86aeb00567f8edf7489edd03ae","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"9000000000000420","authorIdStr":"9000000000000420"},"content":"This is the power of technology.

While the company facilitated a radical paradigm shift in personal mobility, it has encountered significant viability concerns. With the COVID-19 crisis disrupting society, Uber presents massive risks. At the same time, bold contrarians have bid up UBER stock in the derivatives market.</p><p>The confusion regarding the ride-sharing pioneer’s future trajectory stems from its wild price action. When the SARS-CoV-2 virus first upturned American society, few people wanted to share close space with strangers. Therefore, UBER stock understandably plummeted. At the same time, the underlying company had been expanding to other services, primarily food deliveries.</p><p>Without contactless transactions becoming the norm, Uber again found itself leading the way. Thanks to its reliable, accurate and intuitive communications API, the platform helped offer some semblance of normalcy to consumers. Gradually, as fears of COVID-19 faded, UBER stock accelerated, surging up until April of last year.</p><p>Since then, shares have been mired in a downward trend line. On a year-to-date basis, UBER stock dropped more than 34% of market value, a shell of its former glory. Now, inflationary pressures have seen many consumers pull back their discretionary spending, imposing a dark cloud over the ride-sharing outfit.</p><p>Still, UBER recently managed to be one of the subjects of unusual options activity.</p><p><b>Taking Bold Bets on UBER Stock</b></p><p>When the dust settled on the Aug. 31 session, more than a few observers saw their eyebrows being raised. Mainly, bullish traders moved into the $30 call options with an expiration date of Sept. 9, 2022. With UBER stock closing at $28.76 in the open market, it needs to move up 4.3% to be in the money.</p><p>Volume for the above transaction reached 23,092 contracts against an open interest reading of 975. Furthermore, the bid-ask spread as represented by the midpoint price (45 cents) came out to 6.7%. Though not the widest spread in the options arena, it’s enough to provide some margin of safety for the market maker.</p><p>Nevertheless, the bullish wager here moves against broader sentiment for UBER stock. According to Barchart, the put/call open-interest ratio currently stands at 0.81. Usually, the demarcation between bullish and bearish sentiment is 0.70. Anything below this level indicates optimism while anything above implies that traders are buying more puts than calls.</p><p>Curiously, though, analysts have increasingly supported the positive spectrum of Uber’s potential trajectory. In the current month, covering analysts have an average “strong buy” rating on UBER stock, broken down as 20 strong buys, three moderate buys and three holds.</p><p>Three months ago, out of 19 analysts, 16 had a strong buy rating, one had a moderate buy and two went with a hold.</p><p><b>How Uber Could Make a Comeback</b></p><p>Although the case for UBER stock is speculative – again, shares lost almost 35% of market value so far this year – it’s not without fundamental merits. Should employers continue to recall workers back to the office, the ride-sharing firm could get interesting.</p><p>Indeed, if recessionary pressures rise, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) notes that employers could gain conspicuous leverage. It wrote the following:</p><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>With layoffs or hiring freezes, managers will give employees&#39; performance greater scrutiny. Suddenly, &#34;out of sight, out of mind&#34; could take on new significance. Employees might lean more toward coming in to the office to show determination and a strong work ethic and get some in-person face time with their boss.</blockquote><blockquote>Companies are taking precautions not to favor the ones who do. <i>The Wall Street Journal</i> reported recently that HubSpot, a Boston-based digital marketing firm, plans to track promotions in the coming years to ensure people who rarely visit the office aren&#39;t disadvantaged by &#34;proximity bias,&#34; said Katie Burke, its chief people officer.</blockquote><p>Still, not showing up at all or cooperating to the bare minimum presents significant risks to worker bees. After all, while some companies might be careful in not imposing a negative bias on workers who refuse to return physically, those who do make the daily commute then have a legitimate grievance: why should they go back if there’s no reward for doing so?</p><p>Logically, employers may start to phase out telecommuting privileges in the name of fairness, which then might bode cynically well for Uber’s food-delivery arm, Uber Eats. More people in the office means a return to pre-pandemic activities, including ordering takeout.

While the company facilitated a radical paradigm shift in personal mobility, it has encountered significant viability concerns. With the COVID-19 crisis disrupting society, Uber presents massive risks. At the same time, bold contrarians have bid up UBER stock in the derivatives market.The confusion regarding the ride-sharing pioneer’s future trajectory stems from its wild price action. When the SARS-CoV-2 virus first upturned American society, few people wanted to share close space with strangers. Therefore, UBER stock understandably plummeted. At the same time, the underlying company had been expanding to other services, primarily food deliveries.Without contactless transactions becoming the norm, Uber again found itself leading the way. Thanks to its reliable, accurate and intuitive communications API, the platform helped offer some semblance of normalcy to consumers. Gradually, as fears of COVID-19 faded, UBER stock accelerated, surging up until April of last year.Since then, shares have been mired in a downward trend line. On a year-to-date basis, UBER stock dropped more than 34% of market value, a shell of its former glory. Now, inflationary pressures have seen many consumers pull back their discretionary spending, imposing a dark cloud over the ride-sharing outfit.Still, UBER recently managed to be one of the subjects of unusual options activity.Taking Bold Bets on UBER StockWhen the dust settled on the Aug. 31 session, more than a few observers saw their eyebrows being raised. Mainly, bullish traders moved into the $30 call options with an expiration date of Sept. 9, 2022. With UBER stock closing at $28.76 in the open market, it needs to move up 4.3% to be in the money.Volume for the above transaction reached 23,092 contracts against an open interest reading of 975. Furthermore, the bid-ask spread as represented by the midpoint price (45 cents) came out to 6.7%. Though not the widest spread in the options arena, it’s enough to provide some margin of safety for the market maker.Nevertheless, the bullish wager here moves against broader sentiment for UBER stock. According to Barchart, the put/call open-interest ratio currently stands at 0.81. Usually, the demarcation between bullish and bearish sentiment is 0.70. Anything below this level indicates optimism while anything above implies that traders are buying more puts than calls.Curiously, though, analysts have increasingly supported the positive spectrum of Uber’s potential trajectory. In the current month, covering analysts have an average “strong buy” rating on UBER stock, broken down as 20 strong buys, three moderate buys and three holds.Three months ago, out of 19 analysts, 16 had a strong buy rating, one had a moderate buy and two went with a hold.How Uber Could Make a ComebackAlthough the case for UBER stock is speculative – again, shares lost almost 35% of market value so far this year – it’s not without fundamental merits. Should employers continue to recall workers back to the office, the ride-sharing firm could get interesting.Indeed, if recessionary pressures rise, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) notes that employers could gain conspicuous leverage. It wrote the following:With layoffs or hiring freezes, managers will give employees' performance greater scrutiny. Suddenly, \"out of sight, out of mind\" could take on new significance. Employees might lean more toward coming in to the office to show determination and a strong work ethic and get some in-person face time with their boss.Companies are taking precautions not to favor the ones who do. The Wall Street Journal reported recently that HubSpot, a Boston-based digital marketing firm, plans to track promotions in the coming years to ensure people who rarely visit the office aren't disadvantaged by \"proximity bias,\" said Katie Burke, its chief people officer.Still, not showing up at all or cooperating to the bare minimum presents significant risks to worker bees. After all, while some companies might be careful in not imposing a negative bias on workers who refuse to return physically, those who do make the daily commute then have a legitimate grievance: why should they go back if there’s no reward for doing so?Logically, employers may start to phase out telecommuting privileges in the name of fairness, which then might bode cynically well for Uber’s food-delivery arm, Uber Eats. More people in the office means a return to pre-pandemic activities, including ordering takeout. As well, management may use Uber Eats to cater food for various corporate events.A Tough WagerUltimately, though, UBER stock is best left for hardened speculators. While the return-to-the-office narrative is intriguing, the sentiment for food deliveries doesn’t operate in a vacuum. If economic pressures freeze hiring, they might also stymie discretionary services like Uber.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":454,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
