The proposed acquisition, expected to close later this calendar year, will give Microsoft $(MSFT)$ access to Nuance's tools for conversational artificial intelligence $(AI)$ and other intelligence products for the healthcare industry.\nNuance shares were up 17% to $53.32 in recent Monday morning trading, while Microsoft shares were little changed. The deal, which valued Nuance's stock at a roughly 23% premium to the Friday closing price, would be the largest for Microsoft since its purchase of LinkedIn for more than $26 billion in 2016.\nMicrosoft's plans to purchase Nuance had been reported by several outlets over the weekend ahead of Monday's official deal announcement. Guggenheim analyst Glen Santangelo commented in a Sunday note to clients that Microsoft's interest in the company was \"not overly surprising\" given that the companies had worked together on developing \"ambient intelligence\" products, though he was surprised about the deal price.\nA purchase price for Nuance of $56 a share seemed \"relatively low given all the opportunities that we believe are ahead of [Nuance's] business,\" Santangelo wrote Sunday. He highlighted Nuance's Dragon Ambient eXperience $(DAX)$ offering, which uses artificial intelligence to collect information about patients' health issues during visits.\n\"While we appreciate that this is generally close to our [price target] of $58, we would remind investors that our [price target] is on a one-year basis -- and in the context of an acquisition, we would expect the company to generate a more substantial premium,\" he wrote prior to the official announcement. Santangelo added then that he \"would not rule out the possibility a competitive bidding situation.\"\nWedbush analyst Daniel Ives called the Nuance deal a \"trophy\" for Microsoft's management team that could signal a greater interest in mergers over the coming months, given the company's reported interest in purchasing chat platform Discord for upwards of $10 billion.\n\"The Nuance deal is a strategic no brainer in our opinion for Microsoft and fits like a glove into its healthcare endeavors at a time in which hospitals and doctors are embracing next generation AI capabilities,\" Ives wrote in a note to clients after the deal announcement, while reiterating an outperform rating and a $300 target price.\nBeyond healthcare, Ives sees room for Microsoft, which already partners with Nuance, to integrate the company's advanced speech tools \"throughout its consumer and enterprise ecosystem.\"\nMicrosoft and Nuance said in a release announcing their deal that Nuance's \"expertise will come together with the breadth and depth of Microsoft's cloud, including Azure, Teams, and Dynamics 365, to deliver next-generation customer engagement and security solutions.\"\nMicrosoft shares have gained 19.4% over the past three months as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen

there. Even though a business may be doing well, paying a high price to own a piece of it may not be a good idea, as it could limit your returns -- or worse, you could actually incur a loss on it.</p>\n<p>Ignoring earnings multiples and valuations can be a surefire way to put your portfolio in harm's way. And three stocks that are incredibly overvalued right now and that you should be extremely careful with are <b>GoodRx</b> (NASDAQ:GDRX), <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a>&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:TWTR), and <b>Carnival&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:CCL).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/979124c02285d2499c41044704d715c9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<h2>1. GoodRx</h2>\n<p>GoodRx's business makes it easier for consumers to buy prescriptions at lower prices. But the problem is that the company doesn't have a strong competitive advantage that can keep rivals at bay.</p>\n<p>GoodRx's lack of an edge is especially concerning given <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of its competitors may end up being <b>Amazon </b>(NASDAQ:AMZN). The tech giant is going deeper into healthcare, recently launching telehealth services in addition to its pharmacy business. With its deep pockets, Amazon could undercut competitors and make it hard for GoodRx to generate long-term sales growth. Amazon advertises that Prime members who pay without insurance can save up to 80% on medication through Amazon Pharmacy.</p>\n<p>And GoodRx already has enough problems of its own to worry about, incurring losses in each of its last two quarters. Although it grew its sales in 2020 by 41.9% to $550.7 million, it is spending a staggering amount of money on selling, general, and administrative (SG&amp;A) expenses. Expenses of $716.6 million&nbsp;represented 130% of revenue. And if there is an increase in competition, that percentage could climb even higher.</p>\n<p>GoodRx's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of more than 110 is obscene, and puts it at a high valuation regardless of which industry you are investing in. Even though the stock is down 19% over the past year and has underperformed the <b>S&amp;P 500&nbsp;</b>(which is up 24%), I wouldn't be surprised to see its shares fall even further, as there are still many question marks in GoodRx's future.</p>\n<h2>2. Twitter</h2>\n<p>Another stock trading at a hefty premium is Twitter. Its forward P/E of 74 is now even higher than Amazon's multiple, which is just over 69. And fiscal year 2020's sales of $3.7 billion weren't all that impressive for the social media company, as its top line grew by just 7.4% from 2019 -- hardly the numbers you would expect when you are paying such a steep premium for a growth stock. And to make matters worse, its operating expenses grew at an even higher rate of 19.3%.</p>\n<p>While Twitter may think adding \"Super Follows\" to charge followers for content and moving more toward a subscription model will help its bottom line, I'm not convinced it will work in the long term, as it could turn off existing users. It is also a move that shows some desperation, and is perhaps a sign that the company isn't sure ad revenue alone will be enough to make its business profitable over the long haul.</p>\n<p>Although it has come off its recent highs, the stock is still up a mindboggling 74% over the past 12 months, and it could be due for a big correction if the markets crash this year.</p>\n<h2>3. Carnival</h2>\n<p>Carnival's stock has soared 159% in 12 months, and sending this company to the top of this list in terms of share price performance. By the look of the stock chart, you would have to assume that the cruise ship operator is doing exceptionally well. But the reality is that this is still a risky investment despite the ongoing vaccine rollouts.</p>\n<p>On April 7, Carnival reported that its net loss for the first quarter of 2021 (period ending Feb. 28) was a mammoth $1.97 billion, more than double the $781 million loss it incurred during the same period a year ago. The company is optimistic; it noted that for Q1, its booking volumes were 90% higher than in the previous period.</p>\n<p>However, the deposits it collected this past quarter effectively offset the effect that refunds had on its business. And many of its bookings are beyond this year, as just $0.7 billion of the $1.8 billion Carnival has in current customer deposits are for trips in 2021.</p>\n<p>Cash is also still a big concern. In February, Carnival issued $3.5 billion in senior unsecured notes and completed an equity offering for $1 billion. Although the company says its monthly cash burn rate has been \"better than expected,\" at $500 million per month, that is still an extremely high amount. With $11.5 billion of cash and short-term investments, Carnival isn't in danger of running out of money anytime soon -- but the threat of more shareholder dilution is going to remain there for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p>Carnival's stock doesn't have a forward P/E multiple because it's not likely the company will be profitable anytime soon, making its incredible rise in value even that much more ridiculous. With COVID-19 outbreaks on cruises last year generating lots of attention, many customers may not be all that eager to get back on cruise ships. And while some may want to use up their credits or speculate on 2022, there is no guarantee future sailings will go as expected.</p>\n<p>There simply isn't much of a reason to invest in this business right now, and it's likely just speculation that is driving the rise in Carnival's share price. This is a stock I would stay far away from. If new variants of COVID-19 prove to be a problem and case numbers continue climbing despite vaccinations, that could lead to a more negative outlook for the business and lead to an aggressive sell-off.</p>","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>These 3 Stocks Are Absurdly Overvalued Right Now</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\">\nThese 3 Stocks Are Absurdly Overvalued Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-09 21:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/09/these-3-stocks-are-absurdly-overvalued-right-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>One of the dangers of investing right now is that there are many high-priced stocks out there.

With COVID-19 outbreaks on cruises last year generating lots of attention, many customers may not be all that eager to get back on cruise ships. And while some may want to use up their credits or speculate on 2022, there is no guarantee future sailings will go as expected.\nThere simply isn't much of a reason to invest in this business right now, and it's likely just speculation that is driving the rise in Carnival's share price. This is a stock I would stay far away from. If new variants of COVID-19 prove to be a problem and case numbers continue climbing despite vaccinations, that could lead to a more negative outlook for the business and lead to an aggressive sell-off.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":79,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":342209649,"gmtCreate":1618216865881,"gmtModify":1634294379532,"author":{"id":"3554842736287005","authorId":"3554842736287005","name":"Sebastianng","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3554842736287005","idStr":"3554842736287005"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"💪🏻","listText":"💪🏻","text":"💪🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/342209649","repostId":"1123837168","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123837168","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1618216692,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1123837168?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-12 16:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Blockchain stocks rose in premarket trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123837168","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(April 12) Block chain stocks rose in premarket trading.The Bitcoin boom isn't over yet, as the cryp","content":"<p>(April 12)&nbsp;Block chain stocks rose in premarket trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e32554709982b12e2ed3aa14501048c\" tg-width=\"287\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>The&nbsp;<b>Bitcoin</b>&nbsp;boom isn't over yet, as the cryptocurrency continues its upward trend.

The proposed acquisition, expected to close later this calendar year, will give Microsoft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">$(MSFT)$</a> access to Nuance's tools for conversational artificial intelligence <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AI\">$(AI)$</a> and other intelligence products for the healthcare industry.</p>\n<p>Nuance shares were up 17% to $53.32 in recent Monday morning trading, while Microsoft shares were little changed. The deal, which valued Nuance's stock at a roughly 23% premium to the Friday closing price, would be the largest for Microsoft since its purchase of LinkedIn for more than $26 billion in 2016.</p>\n<p>Microsoft's plans to purchase Nuance had been reported by several outlets over the weekend ahead of Monday's official deal announcement. Guggenheim analyst Glen Santangelo commented in a Sunday note to clients that Microsoft's interest in the company was \"not overly surprising\" given that the companies had worked together on developing \"ambient intelligence\" products, though he was surprised about the deal price.</p>\n<p>A purchase price for Nuance of $56 a share seemed \"relatively low given all the opportunities that we believe are ahead of [Nuance's] business,\" Santangelo wrote Sunday. He highlighted Nuance's Dragon Ambient eXperience <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DAX\">$(DAX)$</a> offering, which uses artificial intelligence to collect information about patients' health issues during visits.</p>\n<p>\"While we appreciate that this is generally close to our [price target] of $58, we would remind investors that our [price target] is on a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-year basis -- and in the context of an acquisition, we would expect the company to generate a more substantial premium,\" he wrote prior to the official announcement. Santangelo added then that he \"would not rule out the possibility a competitive bidding situation.\"</p>\n<p>Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives called the Nuance deal a \"trophy\" for Microsoft's management team that could signal a greater interest in mergers over the coming months, given the company's reported interest in purchasing chat platform Discord for upwards of $10 billion.</p>\n<p>\"The Nuance deal is a strategic no brainer in our opinion for Microsoft and fits like a glove into its healthcare endeavors at a time in which hospitals and doctors are embracing next generation AI capabilities,\" Ives wrote in a note to clients after the deal announcement, while reiterating an outperform rating and a $300 target price.</p>\n<p>Beyond healthcare, Ives sees room for Microsoft, which already partners with Nuance, to integrate the company's advanced speech tools \"throughout its consumer and enterprise ecosystem.\"</p>\n<p>Microsoft and Nuance said in a release announcing their deal that Nuance's \"expertise will come together with the breadth and depth of Microsoft's cloud, including Azure, Teams, and Dynamics 365, to deliver next-generation customer engagement and security solutions.\"</p>\n<p>Microsoft shares have gained 19.4% over the past three months as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen 8.6%.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But <b>Las Vegas Sands'</b> (NYSE:LVS) stock hasn't suffered much at all, falling only about 15% from peaks in early 2020, so there seems to be a recovery priced into the stock already.</p><p>Not only has casino revenue fallen over the past year, but online gambling has also become a very real competitor to the real-world casino. And Las Vegas Sands has almost no presence in that growing market. Is Las Vegas Sands now a value stock that will benefit from an economic recovery, or is this a company that the gambling world has passed by? Let's take a deeper look.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F620394%2Fmacau-skyline-at-night.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>What Las Vegas Sands was</h2><p>The last year doesn't really tell us much about what operations will look like as they open again, so let's start by looking at what revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) -- a proxy for cash flow from a resort -- looked like pre-pandemic.</p><p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/97e580af14bb8b8047116844a20f91f0.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"435\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>LVS Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts</p><p>At the end of 2019, Las Vegas Sands had an enterprise value (equity value plus debt outstanding) of $62.3 billion, or 11.3 times EBITDA. That'll be important to note as we talk about the company's future.</p><h2>The pandemic was a disaster</h2><p>No matter how you look at it, the pandemic has been a disaster for Las Vegas Sands. The company saw revenue drop nearly 75%, and EBITDA went negative.</p><p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/132bb8f99c55348febf8be9b64437e7f.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"435\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>LVS Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts</p><p>While some casino companies have relied on the U.S. market, which hasn't been hit as hard as Asia, Las Vegas Sands was highly reliant on Asia, which has had many more restrictions due to COVID-19. And the company is selling its Las Vegas properties for $6.25 billion, so in the future, it will be 100% reliant on Asia when that deal is closed.</p><p>Relying on Asia can be a double-edged sword for casino operators. The market is extremely big and very profitable when operations are going well, but operators are also at the whim of government regulations and restrictions. Macao has gone through ups and downs depending on how open China's visas are to the region. Singapore pushed through a higher tax rate even after Las Vegas Sands committed to spending $3.3 billion to expand Marina Bay Sands.</p><p>If Macao and Singapore gambling returns to 2019 levels sometime late this year or early next year, it would be great for gambling operations, but there's no guarantee that will happen, and we could see a very slow recovery in some countries where vaccine roll-outs aren't going as fast as they are in the U.S.</p><h2>Missing out on internet gambling</h2><p>One of the bigger mistakes late CEO Sheldon Adelson made was fighting online gambling in the U.S. Las Vegas Sands didn't just fail to invest in the booming business; it actively fought its legalization. That puts the company well behind competitors.</p><p>In 2020, online gambling reached $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion in gross gambling revenue in the U.S, according to H2 Gambling Capital, making up 20% of the market. Revenue is expected to grow rapidly as sports betting and iGaming are expanded across the U.S. with some expecting revenue to more than double. Las Vegas Sands may miss the boat entirely.</p><h2>Is there any value in Las Vegas Sands?</h2><p>At today's stock price, Las Vegas Sands' enterprise value (EV) is $59.9 billion, not much lower than it was at the end of 2019 despite the pandemic.</p><p>Even if we disregard the sale of Las Vegas operations, it'll be very difficult for Las Vegas Sands to return to the 11.3 EV/EBITDA multiple by the end of 2021.

But Las Vegas Sands' (NYSE:LVS) stock hasn't suffered much at all, falling only about 15% from peaks in early 2020, so there seems to be a recovery priced into the stock already.Not only has casino revenue fallen over the past year, but online gambling has also become a very real competitor to the real-world casino. And Las Vegas Sands has almost no presence in that growing market. Is Las Vegas Sands now a value stock that will benefit from an economic recovery, or is this a company that the gambling world has passed by? Let's take a deeper look.Image source: Getty Images.What Las Vegas Sands wasThe last year doesn't really tell us much about what operations will look like as they open again, so let's start by looking at what revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) -- a proxy for cash flow from a resort -- looked like pre-pandemic.LVS Revenue (TTM) data by YChartsAt the end of 2019, Las Vegas Sands had an enterprise value (equity value plus debt outstanding) of $62.3 billion, or 11.3 times EBITDA. That'll be important to note as we talk about the company's future.The pandemic was a disasterNo matter how you look at it, the pandemic has been a disaster for Las Vegas Sands. The company saw revenue drop nearly 75%, and EBITDA went negative.LVS Revenue (TTM) data by YChartsWhile some casino companies have relied on the U.S. market, which hasn't been hit as hard as Asia, Las Vegas Sands was highly reliant on Asia, which has had many more restrictions due to COVID-19. And the company is selling its Las Vegas properties for $6.25 billion, so in the future, it will be 100% reliant on Asia when that deal is closed.Relying on Asia can be a double-edged sword for casino operators. The market is extremely big and very profitable when operations are going well, but operators are also at the whim of government regulations and restrictions. Macao has gone through ups and downs depending on how open China's visas are to the region. Singapore pushed through a higher tax rate even after Las Vegas Sands committed to spending $3.3 billion to expand Marina Bay Sands.If Macao and Singapore gambling returns to 2019 levels sometime late this year or early next year, it would be great for gambling operations, but there's no guarantee that will happen, and we could see a very slow recovery in some countries where vaccine roll-outs aren't going as fast as they are in the U.S.Missing out on internet gamblingOne of the bigger mistakes late CEO Sheldon Adelson made was fighting online gambling in the U.S. Las Vegas Sands didn't just fail to invest in the booming business; it actively fought its legalization. That puts the company well behind competitors.In 2020, online gambling reached $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion in gross gambling revenue in the U.S, according to H2 Gambling Capital, making up 20% of the market. Revenue is expected to grow rapidly as sports betting and iGaming are expanded across the U.S. with some expecting revenue to more than double. Las Vegas Sands may miss the boat entirely.Is there any value in Las Vegas Sands?At today's stock price, Las Vegas Sands' enterprise value (EV) is $59.9 billion, not much lower than it was at the end of 2019 despite the pandemic.Even if we disregard the sale of Las Vegas operations, it'll be very difficult for Las Vegas Sands to return to the 11.3 EV/EBITDA multiple by the end of 2021. If Asian gamblers don't return in droves, the company may not reach 2019 EBITDA levels for years.As we've seen, real growth in the gambling industry is in online gambling. What I'm most worried about is that Las Vegas Sands has no presence in that business. That's why Las Vegas Sands stock isn't a buy today, but given the potential for a sharp pandemic recovery in 2021, I wouldn't short the stock either.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":26,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
