Mining harms the environment\nBitcoin mining refers to the energy-intensive process required to produce new coins and ensure the payment network is secure and verified.\nThe electricity used when transactions are validated on the bitcoin blockchain, as well as the mining process, is “certainly not good for the environment,” Prasad said.\nTesla CEO Elon Musk said last month that his electric car company will stop accepting bitcoin as a form of payment because of environmental concerns, causing the price of bitcoin to drop 5% in a matter of minutes.\nHe has since made an about-turn and said in a tweet on Sunday that Tesla will accept bitcoin in transactions if it can confirm “reasonable” and “clean energy usage by miners.”\nCrypto miners use purpose-built computers to solve complex mathematical equations that effectively enable a coin transaction to go through. The miners are rewarded for their efforts by being paid in the cryptocurrency.\nHowever, the entire process used to create a bitcoin requires a lot of energy and can consume more power than entire countries such as Finland and Switzerland, according to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index.\nOn the other hand,Ethereum— the second-largest cryptocurrency sometimes viewed as an alternative to bitcoin — is coming up with a different method of mining that requires less energy, Prasad pointed out.\nCalled“proof of stake,”it is the underlying mechanism for ethereum that activates so-called “validators” on the network, if they can prove that they hold ether, or a “stake.”\nUltimately, it should remove the need for vast amounts of computing power needed to validate transactions and the Ethereum Foundation claims it will use 99.95% less energy than before.\n“That is going to be much less energy intensive, and it could deliver a lot of the benefits that bitcoin was supposed to deliver. It could also make transactions much cheaper and quicker,” said Prasad.\nHowever, it’s not there yet, he added.\n2. Not so anonymous after all\nEarlier this month, U.S. law enforcement officials said they were able to recover $2.3 million in bitcoin paid to a criminal cybergroup involved in the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline in May.\nThe FBI said its agents were able to identify a virtual currency wallet that the hackers used to collect payment from Colonial Pipeline.\n“The main idea of bitcoin… was to provide pseudonymity,” said Prasad. “But it turns out that if you use bitcoin a lot, and especially if you use Bitcoin to get any real goods and services, then it becomes possible eventually to link your address or your physical identity to your digital identity.”\nWhat’s interesting, he said, is that there are other cryptocurrencies trying to fix this and offer more anonymity. He highlighted Monero and Zcash as some examples.\n“So bitcoin really has set off something of a search for a better alternative and people seem to be on the lookout for a medium of exchange that does not require them to go through a trusted institution like the government or a commercial bank — but it’s not quite there yet,” Prasad said.\n3. Doesn’t work well as a currency\nIn theory, bitcoin was supposed to provide an anonymous and efficient medium of exchange but “it hasn’t worked in that respect,” said the economics professor.\nRather, it’s “slow and cumbersome” to use bitcoin to pay for goods and services, and the market is very volatile, Prasad said.\nBitcoin is prone to wide swings in volatility, as seen by its 30% plunge in a single day last month.\n“So you could take a bitcoin to a store and one day, get a cup of coffee and another day, with the same bitcoin, be able to treat yourself to a lavish meal. So that doesn’t work well for the medium of exchange,” he said.\nBitcoin has become a speculative asset for people who hope it will appreciate in value, rather than because they want to use it as a payment mode, Prasad said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":389,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":117341114,"gmtCreate":1623118843738,"gmtModify":1631884666637,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wondering if he will move to a China EV company!!That will be very interesting!

Beyond the curiosity for what new products will be unveiled, investors will also pay attention to how Apple stock will behave.

This could be considered the main event of the year, since the iPhone is Apple’s key revenue driver. However, the stock dropped 4% between the iPhone launch and the “One More Thing” event.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c24a3a51e2e31f611a844d66b0a0255\" tg-width=\"1240\" tg-height=\"367\"><span>Figure 2: Apple stock performance after \"Hi, Speed\" event.</span></p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Apple’s “Time Flies” – September 15, 2020</b>:In this action-packed event, the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE, the new iPad Air and iPad, Apple Fitness+ and Apple One were introduced.

The Apple Maven looked at recent history to see how the stock performed after the past Apple Events.\nA new Apple Event lurks around the corner. Beyond the curiosity for what new products will be unveiled, investors will also pay attention to how Apple stock will behave. Below, the Apple Maven reviews how the previous events aﬀected share price behavior in 2020.\nThe effect of Apple events on the stock\n\nApple’s “One More Thing” – November 30, 2020:The highlight of the event was Apple’s introduction of the M1-equipped MacBook Air, 13‑inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini. In the following three months, the stock climbed 23%, reaching all-time highs by January 2021.\n\nFigure 1: Apple stock performance after \"One More Thing\" event.\n\nApple’s “Hi, Speed” – October 13, 2020:The Cupertino company introduced the highly anticipated iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro with 5G connectivity, MagSafe accessories, and the HomePod mini. This could be considered the main event of the year, since the iPhone is Apple’s key revenue driver. However, the stock dropped 4% between the iPhone launch and the “One More Thing” event.\n\nFigure 2: Apple stock performance after \"Hi, Speed\" event.\n\nApple’s “Time Flies” – September 15, 2020:In this action-packed event, the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE, the new iPad Air and iPad, Apple Fitness+ and Apple One were introduced. Apple stock climbed 4% in the six weeks between “Time Flies” and “Hi, Speed”.\n\nFigure 3: Apple stock performance after \"Time Flies\" event.\n\nApple’s WWDC – June 22, 2020: In the2020 version of the Worldwide Developers Conference, updates to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS Big Sur were announced. Very importantly, Apple’s introduction of the M1 chip also took center stage. The conference was hosted online for the first time, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the following 3 months, Apple shares climbed an impressive 50% to its early September peak.\n\nFigure 4: Apple stock performance after \"WWDC\" event.\nWhat about the next Apple Event?\nAt least in 2020, Apple stock performed generally well in the days following the company’s events – although it is hard to establish causation with much certainty. Investors who bought shares ahead of the key dates, except for “Hi, Speed”, saw decent gains in a short period.\nBut will the upcoming event guide the stock higher this time?\nThe Apple Maven doubts that the iPad, the likely star of Tuesday’s announcements, will be a game changer for Apple stock the same way that the iPhone or new products in mixed reality and autonomous vehicles could be. But it is important for Apple to keep the momentum going in the tablet business, taking advantage of trends in work-from-home and tablet-as-a-PC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":245,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370053497,"gmtCreate":1618537950119,"gmtModify":1631890354079,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"technology, finance, and consumer staples will be the three segments for my investment.&nbsp;","listText":"technology, finance, and consumer staples will be the three segments for my investment.&nbsp;","text":"technology, finance, and consumer staples will be the three segments for my investment.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/370053497","repostId":"2127076940","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2127076940","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1618537658,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2127076940?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-16 09:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"84% Of Warren Buffett's Portfolio In 2021 Is In These 3 Categories","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2127076940","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The legendary value investor and Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett has an unmatched track r","content":"<p>The legendary value investor and Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett has an unmatched track record of market-beating returns for more than half a century.

Shares of the world’s largest tech giant rallied 380% since Berkshire first initiated a position in Apple in 2016. Apple’s dividend-paying strategy is further adding to shareholders' returns. Berkshire collected more than $770 million in dividend income from Apple.</p>\n<p>The cloud-based data platform <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a> Inc. </b>(NYSE: SNOW) represented only a small portion of Buffett's portfolio at the end of the latest quarter.

Over our 56-year tenure, that expectation has been met,” Buffett said in an investor letter.\nLet’s start digging into stocks from three sectors Warren Buffett like the most:\nInformation Technology: 44.25%\nApple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) represents 44.25% of Berkshire’s portfolio, valued at around $117 billion.\nWhile Warren Buffett is a value investor and he strictly follows his stock selection criteria, he has now moved his portfolio focus towards growth stocks, thanks to his fund managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler.\nNevertheless, Apple’s strong business model played a big role in enhancing Buffett’s confidence.\n“I don’t think of Apple as a stock. I think of it as our third business,” Buffett said. “It’s probably the best business I know in the world. And that is a bigger commitment than we have in any business except insurance and the railroad,” he added.\nFortunately, the legendary investor’s stock-picking strategy worked in the case of the iPhone maker. Shares of the world’s largest tech giant rallied 380% since Berkshire first initiated a position in Apple in 2016. Apple’s dividend-paying strategy is further adding to shareholders' returns. Berkshire collected more than $770 million in dividend income from Apple.\nThe cloud-based data platform Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW) represented only a small portion of Buffett's portfolio at the end of the latest quarter. Snowflake is ranked at 21st spot in Buffett’s portfolio and weighted around 0.66%, according to the latest 13F filings.\nFinancial Sector: 27%\nThe financial sector is one of Buffett’s most favorite areas of investment.  Although the legendary investors sold out his Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and a few other financial stocks positions during the pandemic year, he still holds a big position in several banking and financial services stocks.\nThe financial sector accounted for 27% of Berkshire Hathaway's stock portfolio at the end of 2020, down from 43% in the prior year.\nFour out of his top ten positions belong to the financial sector. Bank of America is Buffett’s largest financial stock holding followed by American Express Company (NYSE: AXP), Moody’s Corporation (NYSE: MCO), and U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB). In total, Berkshire Hathaway held 14 financial-sector stocks positions at the end of 2020. Buffett likes to invest in well-established financial companies due to two main reasons: share price appreciation and dividends.\nConsumer Staples: 12.73%\nWarren Buffett’s Berkshire has long been holding positions in consumer staples companies amid their steady growth potential. Further bolstering investment thesis in consumer staples companies is their predictable nature of cash generation potential.\nDividends play a big role in enhancing shareholder's overall returns. Warren Buffett expects to receive $3.8 billion in dividends this year from its portfolio holdings. Berkshire’s third-largest stock holding Coca-Cola Co (NYSE: KO) has lifted dividends in the past 58 straight years.\nBuffett also held a big stake in Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ: KHC) since 2015. Despite the latest rally, the shares of the consumer staples company plunged sharply in the last five years, pulling Berkshire's initial $13.8 billion investment in Kraft Heinz to around $11.2 billion at present. Nevertheless, the company’s dividend payments helped to offset the impact of share price loss. The company currently offers a dividend yield of just over 4%.\nAll data compiled by PortfolioInsider.com in partnership with Nasdaq.com","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347990822,"gmtCreate":1618453909266,"gmtModify":1631890354087,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Netflix still remains strong even with the new entry of Disney +.

This could be view positively or negatively. On the bright side, this suggests that price performance would become more predictable with lower volatility, indicative of a broadening consensus on the fundamental prospects of the company. On the other hand, traders may be disappointed its lack of momentum. Therefore, this is probably a good time to stop viewing XPEV as purely a trade, but re-analyze its merits as a fundamentally-driven investment.</p>\n<p><i>The frenetic performance of XPEV has calmed down in recent weeks, allowing its one year performance to track the S&amp;P 500 more closely</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f04001d604ecc7892ef3a76c498578b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"><span>Source: SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><i>XPEV's G3 Super Long Range Smart SUV</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68446a741f9f97afc10f2149c4e13e13\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\"><span>Source: XPeng Motors (G3、P7) Intelligent electric car with Internet DNA</span></p>\n<p><b>Industry and commercial positives</b></p>\n<p>Optimism on EVs and&nbsp;strong industry growth&nbsp;rates are common knowledge by now. The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Deliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.</b>While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked&nbsp;in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered&nbsp;20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.</li>\n <li><b>Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.</b>XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.</li>\n <li><b>Listing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.</b>Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and&nbsp;LI&nbsp;intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base.

This could be view positively or negatively. On the bright side, this suggests that price performance would become more predictable with lower volatility, indicative of a broadening consensus on the fundamental prospects of the company. On the other hand, traders may be disappointed its lack of momentum. Therefore, this is probably a good time to stop viewing XPEV as purely a trade, but re-analyze its merits as a fundamentally-driven investment.\nThe frenetic performance of XPEV has calmed down in recent weeks, allowing its one year performance to track the S&P 500 more closely\nSource: SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's G3 Super Long Range Smart SUV\nSource: XPeng Motors (G3、P7) Intelligent electric car with Internet DNA\nIndustry and commercial positives\nOptimism on EVs and strong industry growth rates are common knowledge by now. The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):\n\nDeliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered 20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.\nGovernment support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.\nListing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and LI intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.\n\nOf note, in late March, XPEV held an autonomous driving expedition covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the competitive landscape against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results performed better than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.\nXPEV's improving financials\nNow that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.\nAnother point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.\nMeanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities & equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.\nXPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation\n*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle\nXPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion and Risks\nXPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.\nCompetition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.\nMuch feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage.

E-commerce now accounts for more than a third of total revenue, up from just 12% in the fourth quarter of 2019.GME are up more than 2% in premarket trading.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":116576723,"gmtCreate":1622814081262,"gmtModify":1631890354030,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The power of being United!!&nbsp;","listText":"The power of being United!!&nbsp;","text":"The power of being United!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/116576723","repostId":"1158033448","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344167060,"gmtCreate":1618388889550,"gmtModify":1631890354100,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is it safe to invest in crypto?","listText":"Is it safe to invest in crypto?","text":"Is it safe to invest in crypto?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/344167060","repostId":"2127454000","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":161,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":114196993,"gmtCreate":1623055716012,"gmtModify":1631890354021,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$AMC Entertainment(AMC)$</a>This is the night where you see the power of being United.

Whether you’re interested in blue-chip stocks or are looking to gamble on speculative fare, let rational thinking, not emotional urges, be your guide.</p><p><b>1、China Southern Airlines (ZNH)</b></p><p>Among blue-chip stocks, China Southern Airlines is one where I’m plugging my nose as I write these words. Prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic, ZNH stock made perfect sense. According to OurWorldinData.org,tourism from Asiahas become a force to be reckoned with, second only to tourism from Europe. Chinese tourists in particular have driven this eastern tailwind.</p><p>Then, the coronavirus happened, and the sentiment isn’t such a bright one anymore. Given the terrible social injustices that have occurred in the U.S., it’s difficult to imagine that Chinese tourists have great feelings about visiting. Instead, what I believe will happen is an increase in Chinese domestic travel, as well as regional travel in Asia.</p><p>We may already be seeing evidence of this. In 2020, China Southern Airlines generated revenue of $14.15 billion, down 36%. That’s a massive drop. However, compare that to<b>United Airlines</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>UAL</u></b>),<b>Delta</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DAL</u></b>) and<b>Spirit Airlines</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SAVE</u></b>), which were down 68.7%, 65%, and 52.7%, respectively, in 2020.</p><p>In other words, there is a credible argument that ZNH stock could recover faster than other airline blue-chip stocks.</p><p><b>2、Alibaba (BABA)</b></p><p>For blue-chip stocks levered to the broader retail sector, I don’t think you can go wrong with<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>). However, if you’re looking for greater upside potential, I’m going to give the nod to Alibaba. Personally, I’d rather not. Being China’s flagship company, the present geopolitical tensions make BABA stock an uncomfortable investment, to put it diplomatically.</p><p>But the numbers don’t lie — maybe that was abad analogybut you know what I’m saying! For thequarter ended Dec. 31, 2020, Alibaba generated $33.8 billion, which was up nearly 37% from the year-ago level. On a trailing-12-month basis, the company rang up$98.04 billion. To put this into context, even with just the first three quarters of the company’s fiscal 2021, the total will exceed 2020’s tally by nearly 8%.</p><p>Again, BABA stock probably isn’t going to win popularity contests in some circles, but this is a type of dominance that you can’t ignore. This of course is a result of China cracking down hard on the novel coronavirus, so much so that when<i>Reuters</i>mentions an uptick in cases, we’re talking about double-digit figures — not five or six.</p><p><b>3、Olin Corporation (OLN)</b></p><p>Over the last few months, I’ve adopted a cautious tone on the U.S. economy. Of course, with the latestjobs report that greatly exceeded expectations, I appear unduly pensive. I’ll take that criticism because I still have questions about the recovery. If you compare theemployment levelof March 2021 to February 2020 (just before the crisis), we’re still down 5%.</p><p>Nevertheless, if the economy continues to beat expectations, then you’d imagine that Olin Corporation, a leading company of chemical goods, will outperform. That’s because Olin’s services are vital to the supply chain of various industries. If we recover, OLN stock will be in prime position. Indeed, many investors are anticipating exactly that given the share performance.</p><p>But even if we have utter chaos, OLN stock should perform surprisingly well. As you may know, the underlying company owns the Winchester brand of ammunition. This is extremely significant because gun manufacturers like<b>Smith &amp; Wesson Brands</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SWBI</u></b>) enjoyed&nbsp;robust demandin the third quarter with the help of a number of first-time gun buyers.</p><p>So, yes, this is one of the most cynically driven blue-chip stocks — but that’s the reality we’re living in.</p><p><b>4、Becton Dickinson (BDX)</b></p><p>As one of the top medical equipment firms, Becton Dickinson is always a solid name to include in your portfolio of blue-chip stocks. Certainly, the time for making outsized gains on BDX stock is over. This isn’t about getting rich. Instead, Becton Dickinson keeps you on the straight and narrow while enjoying a pedestrian but reliable dividend yield.</p><p>However, the company earlier received a jolt of relevance assyringe shortagesbecame yet another bottleneck for the coronavirus vaccine rollout. Don’t get me wrong — overall, our vaccination program produced encouraging results. But it’s not lost on many analysts that it could have been better. Still, Becton Dickinson is one of the beneficiaries — ramping up production to meet demand.</p><p>Furthermore, I see BDX stock gradually moving higher because I’m becoming somewhat skeptical that the coronavirus crisis is nearing its end. Having looked at thelatest datafrom the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), new cases are already a bit higher from this year’s low.</p><p>Hopefully, it means nothing. But if we do have a resurgence, BDX is one of the blue-chip stocks to keep in mind.</p><p><b>5、Sony (SONY)</b></p><p>Onto more pleasant news, Sony is one of my favorite blue-chip stocks for three reasons. First, I used to work there and learned the skills and discipline required to write compelling content at scale thanks to the consumer electronics giant. Second, SONY stock is incredibly relevant because of its ties to the soaring video game market. Third and most importantly, I own shares.</p><p>Okay, maybe that point isn’t the most important (but it’s important to<i>me</i>). Among the blue-chip stocks that you can trust for the rest of this year, I have the highest confidence in SONY stock. As you know, demand for its PlayStation 5 console is through the roof. No pandemic and no global chip shortage is going to quell this demand.</p><p>Indeed, you could make the argument that supply chain disrupts to the PS5 have driven up demand even more. That’s because consumers on the fence about the gaming console might buy it simply because they don’t know when the next disruption might be. In this crazy year we’ve had, it almost seems inevitable that something nasty is over the horizon.</p><p>Plus, entertainment has been very resilient, so this is one to keep close tabs on.</p><p><b>6、Microsoft (MSFT)</b></p><p>You probably won’t find too many technology-based blue-chip stocks as boring as Microsoft, but I consider this to be a wonderful attribute.</p><p>MSFT stock plays into the most relevant initiative of the hour: work from home. Millions of worker bees basically enjoyed a year-long staycation (or vacation at the boss’ expense). Now, major corporations arewelcoming backsome of their employees to the cubicles.</p><p>It might seem like a drag to go back to work. However, some people enjoy the physical camaraderie that can only come from a person-to-person environment. Also, it’s nice to have a clear delineation between one’s professional and personal life.</p><p>For better or for worse, we may be working from home for longer than initially anticipated. If so, Microsoft’s cloud-based solutions have made a serious impact which should serve MSFT stock well into the future.</p><p><b>7、Mastercard (MA)</b></p><p>Probably the most controversial and riskiest of the blue-chip stocks on this list, credit card giant Mastercard may enjoy hearty upside throughout this year. Should Covid-19 cases decline due to stronger vaccination efforts, then consumers may exercise their pent-up demand and go on shopping sprees.</p><p>To be clear, I think this idea is bonkers. Over the trailing year, we’ve suffered a deadly pandemic, catastrophic storms and global supply chain shortage due to blockage of the Suez Canal.</p><p>You don’t think the universe is trying to tell us something?</p><p>Anyways, I do understand that Americans have been cooped up at home and want to engage in the consumer activities that they were denied last year. The ridiculously highpersonal saving ratesuggests a wealth of cash waiting to strike at cheap Chinese goods.</p><p>Still, keep in mind that work from home is a deflationary initiative (productivity up, overhead costs down and wages flat). Deflation tends to signal downturns, not upswings. Also, one more catastrophe or disruption to consumer sentiment could sink MA stock.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Top Blue-Chip Stocks for the Rest of 2021</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\">\n7 Top Blue-Chip Stocks for the Rest of 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-08 15:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/7-top-blue-chip-stocks-for-rest-of-year/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Enjoy some upside potential with a strong dose of downside mitigation.It’s the news that everyone was anticipating.

Prior to the novel coronavirus pandemic, ZNH stock made perfect sense. According to OurWorldinData.org,tourism from Asiahas become a force to be reckoned with, second only to tourism from Europe. Chinese tourists in particular have driven this eastern tailwind.Then, the coronavirus happened, and the sentiment isn’t such a bright one anymore. Given the terrible social injustices that have occurred in the U.S., it’s difficult to imagine that Chinese tourists have great feelings about visiting. Instead, what I believe will happen is an increase in Chinese domestic travel, as well as regional travel in Asia.We may already be seeing evidence of this. In 2020, China Southern Airlines generated revenue of $14.15 billion, down 36%. That’s a massive drop. However, compare that toUnited Airlines(NASDAQ:UAL),Delta(NYSE:DAL) andSpirit Airlines(NYSE:SAVE), which were down 68.7%, 65%, and 52.7%, respectively, in 2020.In other words, there is a credible argument that ZNH stock could recover faster than other airline blue-chip stocks.2、Alibaba (BABA)For blue-chip stocks levered to the broader retail sector, I don’t think you can go wrong withAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN). However, if you’re looking for greater upside potential, I’m going to give the nod to Alibaba. Personally, I’d rather not. Being China’s flagship company, the present geopolitical tensions make BABA stock an uncomfortable investment, to put it diplomatically.But the numbers don’t lie — maybe that was abad analogybut you know what I’m saying! For thequarter ended Dec. 31, 2020, Alibaba generated $33.8 billion, which was up nearly 37% from the year-ago level. On a trailing-12-month basis, the company rang up$98.04 billion. To put this into context, even with just the first three quarters of the company’s fiscal 2021, the total will exceed 2020’s tally by nearly 8%.Again, BABA stock probably isn’t going to win popularity contests in some circles, but this is a type of dominance that you can’t ignore. This of course is a result of China cracking down hard on the novel coronavirus, so much so that whenReutersmentions an uptick in cases, we’re talking about double-digit figures — not five or six.3、Olin Corporation (OLN)Over the last few months, I’ve adopted a cautious tone on the U.S. economy. Of course, with the latestjobs report that greatly exceeded expectations, I appear unduly pensive. I’ll take that criticism because I still have questions about the recovery. If you compare theemployment levelof March 2021 to February 2020 (just before the crisis), we’re still down 5%.Nevertheless, if the economy continues to beat expectations, then you’d imagine that Olin Corporation, a leading company of chemical goods, will outperform. That’s because Olin’s services are vital to the supply chain of various industries. If we recover, OLN stock will be in prime position. Indeed, many investors are anticipating exactly that given the share performance.But even if we have utter chaos, OLN stock should perform surprisingly well. As you may know, the underlying company owns the Winchester brand of ammunition. This is extremely significant because gun manufacturers likeSmith & Wesson Brands(NASDAQ:SWBI) enjoyed robust demandin the third quarter with the help of a number of first-time gun buyers.So, yes, this is one of the most cynically driven blue-chip stocks — but that’s the reality we’re living in.4、Becton Dickinson (BDX)As one of the top medical equipment firms, Becton Dickinson is always a solid name to include in your portfolio of blue-chip stocks. Certainly, the time for making outsized gains on BDX stock is over. This isn’t about getting rich. Instead, Becton Dickinson keeps you on the straight and narrow while enjoying a pedestrian but reliable dividend yield.However, the company earlier received a jolt of relevance assyringe shortagesbecame yet another bottleneck for the coronavirus vaccine rollout. Don’t get me wrong — overall, our vaccination program produced encouraging results. But it’s not lost on many analysts that it could have been better. Still, Becton Dickinson is one of the beneficiaries — ramping up production to meet demand.Furthermore, I see BDX stock gradually moving higher because I’m becoming somewhat skeptical that the coronavirus crisis is nearing its end. Having looked at thelatest datafrom the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), new cases are already a bit higher from this year’s low.Hopefully, it means nothing. But if we do have a resurgence, BDX is one of the blue-chip stocks to keep in mind.5、Sony (SONY)Onto more pleasant news, Sony is one of my favorite blue-chip stocks for three reasons. First, I used to work there and learned the skills and discipline required to write compelling content at scale thanks to the consumer electronics giant. Second, SONY stock is incredibly relevant because of its ties to the soaring video game market. Third and most importantly, I own shares.Okay, maybe that point isn’t the most important (but it’s important tome). Among the blue-chip stocks that you can trust for the rest of this year, I have the highest confidence in SONY stock. As you know, demand for its PlayStation 5 console is through the roof. No pandemic and no global chip shortage is going to quell this demand.Indeed, you could make the argument that supply chain disrupts to the PS5 have driven up demand even more. That’s because consumers on the fence about the gaming console might buy it simply because they don’t know when the next disruption might be. In this crazy year we’ve had, it almost seems inevitable that something nasty is over the horizon.Plus, entertainment has been very resilient, so this is one to keep close tabs on.6、Microsoft (MSFT)You probably won’t find too many technology-based blue-chip stocks as boring as Microsoft, but I consider this to be a wonderful attribute.MSFT stock plays into the most relevant initiative of the hour: work from home. Millions of worker bees basically enjoyed a year-long staycation (or vacation at the boss’ expense). Now, major corporations arewelcoming backsome of their employees to the cubicles.It might seem like a drag to go back to work. However, some people enjoy the physical camaraderie that can only come from a person-to-person environment. Also, it’s nice to have a clear delineation between one’s professional and personal life.For better or for worse, we may be working from home for longer than initially anticipated. If so, Microsoft’s cloud-based solutions have made a serious impact which should serve MSFT stock well into the future.7、Mastercard (MA)Probably the most controversial and riskiest of the blue-chip stocks on this list, credit card giant Mastercard may enjoy hearty upside throughout this year. Should Covid-19 cases decline due to stronger vaccination efforts, then consumers may exercise their pent-up demand and go on shopping sprees.To be clear, I think this idea is bonkers. Over the trailing year, we’ve suffered a deadly pandemic, catastrophic storms and global supply chain shortage due to blockage of the Suez Canal.You don’t think the universe is trying to tell us something?Anyways, I do understand that Americans have been cooped up at home and want to engage in the consumer activities that they were denied last year. The ridiculously highpersonal saving ratesuggests a wealth of cash waiting to strike at cheap Chinese goods.Still, keep in mind that work from home is a deflationary initiative (productivity up, overhead costs down and wages flat). Deflation tends to signal downturns, not upswings. Also, one more catastrophe or disruption to consumer sentiment could sink MA stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":229,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346536731,"gmtCreate":1618065408023,"gmtModify":1631892583644,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I think there is prospect in this company but not sure why it is not moving up.&nbsp;","listText":"I think there is prospect in this company but not sure why it is not moving up.&nbsp;","text":"I think there is prospect in this company but not sure why it is not moving up.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/346536731","repostId":"1142324412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1142324412","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617982207,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1142324412?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-09 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"XPeng Inc.: A Reawakening","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1142324412","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Valuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.Recent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.Company could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.Feared chip shortage  was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese go","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Valuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.</li>\n <li>Recent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.</li>\n <li>Company could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.</li>\n <li>Feared chip shortage (i.e. supply disruption) was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e0f3343d69719839f9b8f1d337c3984\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\"><span>Photo by Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Introduction</b></p>\n<p>The stock price of&nbsp;XPEV&nbsp;has been converging with the performance of the S&amp;P 500 since March 2021, as compared to its massive outperformance in 4Q2020.

The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Deliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.</b>While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked&nbsp;in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered&nbsp;20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.</li>\n <li><b>Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.</b>XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.</li>\n <li><b>Listing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.</b>Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and&nbsp;LI&nbsp;intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Of note, in late March, XPEV held an&nbsp;autonomous driving expedition&nbsp;covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the&nbsp;competitive landscape&nbsp;against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results&nbsp;performed better&nbsp;than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.</p>\n<p><b>XPEV's improving financials</b></p>\n<p>Now that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.</p>\n<p>Another point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities &amp; equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.</p>\n<p><i>XPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8258dce0cc10e8118a23afce7655bed\" tg-width=\"726\" tg-height=\"737\"><span>*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><b>XPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle</b></p>\n<p>XPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.</p>\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa975ce545e950a20f809bcc7f698ef6\" tg-width=\"911\" tg-height=\"594\">\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr></tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><b>Conclusion and Risks</b></p>\n<p>XPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.</p>\n<p>Competition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.</p>\n<p>Much feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage. Given the progression to a post-COVID economy, supply chain links should improve and reduce similar risks in the future.</p>\n<p>On a standalone basis, XPEV's prospects appear bright, and now the key hurdle is whether the NASDAQ will find momentum and exceed previous highs. The base case for this should lean towards the positive as the market is merely in the first year of the economic recovery after the pandemic. Recent price consolidation appears to have created a technical setup for a reawakening of price momentum as consumer activity revives post-pandemic.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","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>XPeng Inc.: A Reawakening</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\">\nXPeng Inc.: A Reawakening\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-09 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nValuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.\nRecent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.\nCompany could breakeven and ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1142324412","content_text":"Summary\n\nValuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.\nRecent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.\nCompany could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.\nFeared chip shortage (i.e. supply disruption) was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.\n\nPhoto by Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nIntroduction\nThe stock price of XPEV has been converging with the performance of the S&P 500 since March 2021, as compared to its massive outperformance in 4Q2020.

The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.\nGovernment support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units.

As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.\nXPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation\n*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle\nXPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion and Risks\nXPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.\nCompetition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.\nMuch feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage. Given the progression to a post-COVID economy, supply chain links should improve and reduce similar risks in the future.\nOn a standalone basis, XPEV's prospects appear bright, and now the key hurdle is whether the NASDAQ will find momentum and exceed previous highs. The base case for this should lean towards the positive as the market is merely in the first year of the economic recovery after the pandemic. Recent price consolidation appears to have created a technical setup for a reawakening of price momentum as consumer activity revives post-pandemic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":151,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":117341114,"gmtCreate":1623118843738,"gmtModify":1631884666637,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wondering if he will move to a China EV company!!That will be very interesting!

Mining harms the environment\nBitcoin mining refers to the energy-intensive process required to produce new coins and ensure the payment network is secure and verified.\nThe electricity used when transactions are validated on the bitcoin blockchain, as well as the mining process, is “certainly not good for the environment,” Prasad said.\nTesla CEO Elon Musk said last month that his electric car company will stop accepting bitcoin as a form of payment because of environmental concerns, causing the price of bitcoin to drop 5% in a matter of minutes.\nHe has since made an about-turn and said in a tweet on Sunday that Tesla will accept bitcoin in transactions if it can confirm “reasonable” and “clean energy usage by miners.”\nCrypto miners use purpose-built computers to solve complex mathematical equations that effectively enable a coin transaction to go through. The miners are rewarded for their efforts by being paid in the cryptocurrency.\nHowever, the entire process used to create a bitcoin requires a lot of energy and can consume more power than entire countries such as Finland and Switzerland, according to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index.\nOn the other hand,Ethereum— the second-largest cryptocurrency sometimes viewed as an alternative to bitcoin — is coming up with a different method of mining that requires less energy, Prasad pointed out.\nCalled“proof of stake,”it is the underlying mechanism for ethereum that activates so-called “validators” on the network, if they can prove that they hold ether, or a “stake.”\nUltimately, it should remove the need for vast amounts of computing power needed to validate transactions and the Ethereum Foundation claims it will use 99.95% less energy than before.\n“That is going to be much less energy intensive, and it could deliver a lot of the benefits that bitcoin was supposed to deliver. It could also make transactions much cheaper and quicker,” said Prasad.\nHowever, it’s not there yet, he added.\n2. Not so anonymous after all\nEarlier this month, U.S. law enforcement officials said they were able to recover $2.3 million in bitcoin paid to a criminal cybergroup involved in the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline in May.\nThe FBI said its agents were able to identify a virtual currency wallet that the hackers used to collect payment from Colonial Pipeline.\n“The main idea of bitcoin… was to provide pseudonymity,” said Prasad. “But it turns out that if you use bitcoin a lot, and especially if you use Bitcoin to get any real goods and services, then it becomes possible eventually to link your address or your physical identity to your digital identity.”\nWhat’s interesting, he said, is that there are other cryptocurrencies trying to fix this and offer more anonymity. He highlighted Monero and Zcash as some examples.\n“So bitcoin really has set off something of a search for a better alternative and people seem to be on the lookout for a medium of exchange that does not require them to go through a trusted institution like the government or a commercial bank — but it’s not quite there yet,” Prasad said.\n3. Doesn’t work well as a currency\nIn theory, bitcoin was supposed to provide an anonymous and efficient medium of exchange but “it hasn’t worked in that respect,” said the economics professor.\nRather, it’s “slow and cumbersome” to use bitcoin to pay for goods and services, and the market is very volatile, Prasad said.\nBitcoin is prone to wide swings in volatility, as seen by its 30% plunge in a single day last month.\n“So you could take a bitcoin to a store and one day, get a cup of coffee and another day, with the same bitcoin, be able to treat yourself to a lavish meal. So that doesn’t work well for the medium of exchange,” he said.\nBitcoin has become a speculative asset for people who hope it will appreciate in value, rather than because they want to use it as a payment mode, Prasad said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":389,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111048368,"gmtCreate":1622646101054,"gmtModify":1631889655156,"author":{"id":"3549714415666834","authorId":"3549714415666834","name":"TwL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14ad422a3833952a8e4fba42f34de58a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3549714415666834","authorIdStr":"3549714415666834"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BCTX\">$BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.(BCTX)$</a>It is going to hit at least 180%. &nbsp;Seems like there is still room for it to go higher! 10 dollars!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BCTX\">$BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.(BCTX)$</a>It is going to hit at least 180%. &nbsp;Seems like there is still room for it to go higher! 10 dollars!","text":"$BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.(BCTX)$It is going to hit at least 180%.
