Both have their valid points. Personally would think Burry is right in near term, and Cathie is right in far term. The critical thing is whether these innovation-based businesses can live up to their names and survive over time.

The thing that’s really cool is that AI is software that writes itself, and it writes software that no humans can.</blockquote><blockquote>Jensen Huang, Founder, and CEO of NVIDIA</blockquote><p>NVIDIA (NVDA) does not get enough credit for its highly dominant position in artificial intelligence, a rapidly emerging class of technology that will likely disrupt every industry and centralize economic power in the hands of its masters. The market&#39;s increasing recognition of NVIDIA&#39;s sustainable competitive advantage in artificial intelligence (AI) and AI&#39;s long growth runway will likely sustain the stock&#39;s outperformance and premium valuation.</p><p><b>AI &amp; Economic Centralization</b></p><p>AI is exciting to the investment community because it gives those who wield it unprecedented abilities and economics. Revolutionary breakthroughs in artificial neural networks (or deep learning) in the 2010s enabled algorithms to &#34;learn&#34; and thus introduce a new level of machine intelligence never available before, allowing the algorithms to accomplish breathtaking new feats such asdefeatingthe world&#39;s top Go players and disrupting the translation industry.</p><p>Importantly, for investors, modern neural network algorithms are a &#34;centralizing&#34; technology since the advantage of scale outweighs the disadvantages. The practical implication is that companies that can position themselves at the center should enjoy an unusually strong and sustainable competitive advantage in the niche where it dominates.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40aedfb330e1430e3b3578134c461460\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"538\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Zen Analyst</span></p><p>Companies most likely to be in this enviable position should satisfy three conditions.</p><p>First, there is a massive shortage of AI experts, so only very well-funded companies or those with massive cash flow can sustain world-class AI teams. In 2017, Tencent(OTCPK:TCEHY) estimated that there are only 300,000 AI researchers worldwide, far short of the millions demanded by the market. The lack of skilled people and difficulty hiring topped the list of challenges in AI to this day.</p><p>Second, AI delivers the greatest value to companies with the greatest data assets, which correlates with the scale of the enterprise. It takes a massive amount of data to train neural networks, and naturally, the best AI talents prefer to work in data-rich environments. It is no surprise that companies that are most excited about AI are also the ones with the greatest data assets, for example, Alphabet (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (FB), Apple (AAPL), and Netflix (NFLX).</p><p>Third, combining top AI talent and massive data to produce breakthrough products requires a management team with a strong engineering and computer science background. This condition explains why Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and NVIDIA lead in AI when other data-rich companies such as Bank of America (BAC) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH) do not.</p><p>Once a breakthrough AI product is brought to market, for example, Google&#39;s AI language translation service, one that is significantly better than alternatives, a virtuous cycle begins that further reinforces the competitive advantage of the product. First, the superior product garners more users. Second, more users interacting with the product generates more data. Third, the incremental data is then used to improve the product.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/965b5370b6f9a11ec4863ece11f18ddd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"730\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Zen Analyst</span></p><p>This virtuous flywheel increases the competitive advantages of the incumbents as long as they do not fall apart due to complacency and corruption.</p><p><b>NVIDIA&#39;s Dominance</b></p><p>NVIDIA satisfies all three conditions for maintaining and growing its dominant position in AI.</p><p>First, NVIDIA is one of the most profitable and fastest-growing companies globally, making its stock-based compensation highly attractive to scarce AI talents. The company is expected to generate $13.7 billion in EBITDA this current fiscal year (ended January 2022), up 73% y/y.</p><p>Second, NVIDIA has access to a massive amount of data through its computing hardware business, CUDA parallel computing platform, gaming platforms such as GeForce Now, and software platforms such as Omniverse.</p><p>In addition to providing AI talent a data-rich environment, the company also occupies an overwhelmingly dominant position in AI chips, making the company one of the exciting places to work for AI talent. According to JPR, NVIDIA has an 83% share of the Q2 2021 PC discrete GPUs, the preferred chip for AI training and inference. Likewise, NVIDIA GPUs also dominate the data center with over 80% market share in AI workloads.</p><p>Third, in my view, NVIDIA&#39;s management ranks among the most innovative in history. Jensen Huang founded NVIDIA in 1993 and has been at the frontier of innovation in GPUs, gaming graphics, accelerated computing in data centers, AI, and the Metaverse. Today, at 58-years-old, Jensen is still deeply committed as the company&#39;s CEO, and his vision gets a tremendous amount of respect from Wall Street to Main Street.</p><p>It is no wonder that AI talents are flocking to work at NVIDIA. According to a 2017 Glassdoor survey, NVIDIA ranked second among top employers hiring AI talent. According to a study released by Glassdoor, as of 2021, NVIDIA ranked the second-best place to work in the U.S. Given how well the company and the stock have done and the high level of employee satisfaction, NVIDIA should not have problems attracting some of the best AI talents in the world.</p><p><b>AI Market Opportunity</b></p><p>NVIDIA has a massive AI portfolio that could serve every enterprise:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8542e16ee66c70106491e1d683a30912\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"334\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: NVIDIA</span></p><p>Due to the size of its AI portfolio, it is challenging to put an exact number on NVIDIA&#39;s AI addressable market for three reasons. First, NVIDIA has products up and down the stack, from applications interacting with the end-user to hardware sitting in the data center and at the edge. Second, NVIDIA&#39;s AI technologies are horizontal (giving a limited set of capabilities to every industry) and vertical (offering a broad set of capabilities to specialized industries). Third, AI will play a crucial but not exclusive role in rapidly emerging opportunities such as the metaverse.</p><p>To get a sense of the scale of the opportunities for NVIDIA&#39;s AI portfolio, let&#39;s take a look at a few examples.</p><p>Omdia forecasts the global artificial intelligence software market will grow rapidly in the coming years, reaching around $126 billion by 2025. The overall AI market includes various applications such as natural language processing, robotic process automation, and machine learning.</p><p>I sized the current metaverse opportunity for NVIDIA at a minimum of $360 billion, with the potential to grow into the trillions. In my view, AI will play a crucial role in the metaverse, but so will blockchain, consumer electronics such as virtual reality goggles, and GPU chips. I suspect that AI will initially play a small role in the metaverse relative to blockchain and hardware, but its importance will increase in five to ten years.</p><p>However, NVIDIA&#39;s CEO, Jensen Huang, has much bigger ambitions: he believes the intelligence market is sized in the trillions. For example, he believes that AI will transform the multi-trillion transportation industry through autonomous driving, to name one industry.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>(Note: all consensus and historical data in this section are from FactSet.)</p><p>While there is little disagreement that NVIDIA is an excellent company, many investors balk at NVIDIA&#39;s price action and premium valuation.</p><p>In my opinion, the stock&#39;s valuation is justified by its growth rate, the strength of its core business, and multiple &#34;free options&#34; attached to the stock. However, NVIDIA may not be appropriate for investors who would like to avoid large drawdowns given the stock&#39;s 1.95 52-week beta and the business&#39;s rapid growth, which could hit unexpected speed bumps.</p><p>NVDA currently trades at 58x next-twelve-month consensus EPS or a 180% premium to the S&amp;P 500. Given the stock&#39;s ~126% YTD rally and premium valuation, many investors fear chasing a winner. Furthermore, given the passionate discussions around the metaverse (see my recently published Meta Platforms article for more background information), bears will argue that NVDA&#39;s valuation is being propped up by &#34;hype.&#34;</p><p>I disagree with this conclusion because I believe NVDA&#39;s valuation is justified by the performance of its core business, while Omniverse has not yet materially contributed to results. For a detailed discussion of the Omniverse, please read my article<i>NVIDIA: Lord Of The Metaverse.</i></p><p>NVDA&#39;s EPS grew 73% y/y in FY20 and is expected to grow another 74% in FY22 (FY ending January). By the end of this year, the company is expected to generate earnings per share ~200% higher than its 2019 earnings. Over the same period, the S&amp;P 500&#39;s EPS grew 26%. Looking ahead, consensus EPS for NVDA&#39;s FY23 implies a 19% y/y growth rate, a number the company should easily beat given the strong momentum of its businesses and its long history of beating earnings estimates. However, even 19% is well above the S&amp;P 500&#39;s expected 8% EPS growth in the same period.</p><p>In addition, I believe NVDA&#39;s above-market EPS growth rate will be more sustainable than the average S&amp;P 500 company, given its near-monopoly in discrete GPUs and the secular trends driving its business. Among the most important secular drivers is the rise of AI and the metaverse.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>We know NVIDIA has a near-monopoly in discrete GPUs, the dominant chip used to power gaming, accelerated computing, and AI. The company enjoys network effects, flywheel effects, platform dominance, and a superior R&amp;D budget, putting it head and shoulders above competitors. Its primary end markets -- gaming, data center, and AI -- are also growing well above global GDP.</p><p>In my view, the most significant risk for NVIDIA is regulatory and not competitive or market-based. I see two primary regulatory risks: anti-monopoly and geopolitics.</p><p>First, the company&#39;s dominance and size make it a threat to market competition, likely resulting in regulatory pressures. NVIDIA could face regulatory risks similar to those experienced by Microsoft twenty years ago and by Meta Platforms, Apple, and Alphabet today.</p><p>We already see early signs of government pressure on NVIDIA. For example, even US regulators object to the company&#39;s pending acquisition of ARM Holdings.</p><p>Second, as a semiconductor company with significant China revenues, NVIDIA risks being caught in the cross-hair of the US-China semiconductor war.Revenue from billings to China, including Hong Kong, was 23% of NVIDIA&#39;s revenue for the fiscal year 2021. As the leader in AI, a key area of geopolitical contest, NVIDIA&#39;s risk of being caught in geopolitics is likely much greater than the average semiconductor company.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Nvidia's Trillion-Dollar AI Opportunity</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\">\nNvidia's Trillion-Dollar AI Opportunity\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-29 16:59 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4477152-nvidia-nvda-stock-trillion-dollar-ai-opportunity><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNVIDIA's dominance in AI is underappreciated.The company satisfies all the conditions to grow its competitive advantage in AI over time.AI could grow into a multi-trillion dollar opportunity ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4477152-nvidia-nvda-stock-trillion-dollar-ai-opportunity\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4477152-nvidia-nvda-stock-trillion-dollar-ai-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1174830865","content_text":"SummaryNVIDIA's dominance in AI is underappreciated.The company satisfies all the conditions to grow its competitive advantage in AI over time.AI could grow into a multi-trillion dollar opportunity for NVIDIA.imaginima/E+ via Getty ImagesAI is a watershed moment for the world.

It is no surprise that companies that are most excited about AI are also the ones with the greatest data assets, for example, Alphabet (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (FB), Apple (AAPL), and Netflix (NFLX).Third, combining top AI talent and massive data to produce breakthrough products requires a management team with a strong engineering and computer science background. This condition explains why Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and NVIDIA lead in AI when other data-rich companies such as Bank of America (BAC) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH) do not.Once a breakthrough AI product is brought to market, for example, Google's AI language translation service, one that is significantly better than alternatives, a virtuous cycle begins that further reinforces the competitive advantage of the product. First, the superior product garners more users. Second, more users interacting with the product generates more data. Third, the incremental data is then used to improve the product.Source: Zen AnalystThis virtuous flywheel increases the competitive advantages of the incumbents as long as they do not fall apart due to complacency and corruption.NVIDIA's DominanceNVIDIA satisfies all three conditions for maintaining and growing its dominant position in AI.First, NVIDIA is one of the most profitable and fastest-growing companies globally, making its stock-based compensation highly attractive to scarce AI talents. The company is expected to generate $13.7 billion in EBITDA this current fiscal year (ended January 2022), up 73% y/y.Second, NVIDIA has access to a massive amount of data through its computing hardware business, CUDA parallel computing platform, gaming platforms such as GeForce Now, and software platforms such as Omniverse.In addition to providing AI talent a data-rich environment, the company also occupies an overwhelmingly dominant position in AI chips, making the company one of the exciting places to work for AI talent. According to JPR, NVIDIA has an 83% share of the Q2 2021 PC discrete GPUs, the preferred chip for AI training and inference. Likewise, NVIDIA GPUs also dominate the data center with over 80% market share in AI workloads.Third, in my view, NVIDIA's management ranks among the most innovative in history. Jensen Huang founded NVIDIA in 1993 and has been at the frontier of innovation in GPUs, gaming graphics, accelerated computing in data centers, AI, and the Metaverse. Today, at 58-years-old, Jensen is still deeply committed as the company's CEO, and his vision gets a tremendous amount of respect from Wall Street to Main Street.It is no wonder that AI talents are flocking to work at NVIDIA. According to a 2017 Glassdoor survey, NVIDIA ranked second among top employers hiring AI talent. According to a study released by Glassdoor, as of 2021, NVIDIA ranked the second-best place to work in the U.S. Given how well the company and the stock have done and the high level of employee satisfaction, NVIDIA should not have problems attracting some of the best AI talents in the world.AI Market OpportunityNVIDIA has a massive AI portfolio that could serve every enterprise:Source: NVIDIADue to the size of its AI portfolio, it is challenging to put an exact number on NVIDIA's AI addressable market for three reasons. First, NVIDIA has products up and down the stack, from applications interacting with the end-user to hardware sitting in the data center and at the edge. Second, NVIDIA's AI technologies are horizontal (giving a limited set of capabilities to every industry) and vertical (offering a broad set of capabilities to specialized industries). Third, AI will play a crucial but not exclusive role in rapidly emerging opportunities such as the metaverse.To get a sense of the scale of the opportunities for NVIDIA's AI portfolio, let's take a look at a few examples.Omdia forecasts the global artificial intelligence software market will grow rapidly in the coming years, reaching around $126 billion by 2025. The overall AI market includes various applications such as natural language processing, robotic process automation, and machine learning.I sized the current metaverse opportunity for NVIDIA at a minimum of $360 billion, with the potential to grow into the trillions. In my view, AI will play a crucial role in the metaverse, but so will blockchain, consumer electronics such as virtual reality goggles, and GPU chips. I suspect that AI will initially play a small role in the metaverse relative to blockchain and hardware, but its importance will increase in five to ten years.However, NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, has much bigger ambitions: he believes the intelligence market is sized in the trillions. For example, he believes that AI will transform the multi-trillion transportation industry through autonomous driving, to name one industry.Valuation(Note: all consensus and historical data in this section are from FactSet.)While there is little disagreement that NVIDIA is an excellent company, many investors balk at NVIDIA's price action and premium valuation.In my opinion, the stock's valuation is justified by its growth rate, the strength of its core business, and multiple \"free options\" attached to the stock. However, NVIDIA may not be appropriate for investors who would like to avoid large drawdowns given the stock's 1.95 52-week beta and the business's rapid growth, which could hit unexpected speed bumps.NVDA currently trades at 58x next-twelve-month consensus EPS or a 180% premium to the S&P 500. Given the stock's ~126% YTD rally and premium valuation, many investors fear chasing a winner. Furthermore, given the passionate discussions around the metaverse (see my recently published Meta Platforms article for more background information), bears will argue that NVDA's valuation is being propped up by \"hype.\"I disagree with this conclusion because I believe NVDA's valuation is justified by the performance of its core business, while Omniverse has not yet materially contributed to results. For a detailed discussion of the Omniverse, please read my articleNVIDIA: Lord Of The Metaverse.NVDA's EPS grew 73% y/y in FY20 and is expected to grow another 74% in FY22 (FY ending January). By the end of this year, the company is expected to generate earnings per share ~200% higher than its 2019 earnings. Over the same period, the S&P 500's EPS grew 26%. Looking ahead, consensus EPS for NVDA's FY23 implies a 19% y/y growth rate, a number the company should easily beat given the strong momentum of its businesses and its long history of beating earnings estimates. However, even 19% is well above the S&P 500's expected 8% EPS growth in the same period.In addition, I believe NVDA's above-market EPS growth rate will be more sustainable than the average S&P 500 company, given its near-monopoly in discrete GPUs and the secular trends driving its business. Among the most important secular drivers is the rise of AI and the metaverse.RisksWe know NVIDIA has a near-monopoly in discrete GPUs, the dominant chip used to power gaming, accelerated computing, and AI. The company enjoys network effects, flywheel effects, platform dominance, and a superior R&D budget, putting it head and shoulders above competitors. Its primary end markets -- gaming, data center, and AI -- are also growing well above global GDP.In my view, the most significant risk for NVIDIA is regulatory and not competitive or market-based. I see two primary regulatory risks: anti-monopoly and geopolitics.First, the company's dominance and size make it a threat to market competition, likely resulting in regulatory pressures. NVIDIA could face regulatory risks similar to those experienced by Microsoft twenty years ago and by Meta Platforms, Apple, and Alphabet today.We already see early signs of government pressure on NVIDIA. For example, even US regulators object to the company's pending acquisition of ARM Holdings.Second, as a semiconductor company with significant China revenues, NVIDIA risks being caught in the cross-hair of the US-China semiconductor war.Revenue from billings to China, including Hong Kong, was 23% of NVIDIA's revenue for the fiscal year 2021. As the leader in AI, a key area of geopolitical contest, NVIDIA's risk of being caught in geopolitics is likely much greater than the average semiconductor company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":840,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":699292980,"gmtCreate":1639803172765,"gmtModify":1639803172969,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sometimes I feel bad for Meta.

Possibly motivated by broad market movements that were also positive, AMC surged 20% and finally broke into the $40 levels once again.</p>\n<p>Not yet satisfied, ambitious apes still believe that the recent move in AMC is just the tip of the iceberg, and that the path to the moon is gradually being paved. Wall Street Memes reviews AMC stock’s recent performance.</p>\n<h3>Broad market strength</h3>\n<p>The US stock market had a record-breaking dayon August 24. In a week marked by chatter around monetary policy and the Jackson Hole symposium, vaccine approval news and the Chinese market’s retraction helped to fuel the market’s euphoria in the US.</p>\n<p>AMC trading volume reached about 220 million shares on August 24, more than double the average 10-day metric.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1cc490ca24ca006f0cad2c9b785eb27\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"595\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Figure 1: AMC historical data and trading volume.</span></p>\n<h3>Bullish drivers</h3>\n<p>AMC’s popularity across the main online discussion boards remains at peak levels.

The&nbsp;above-expectations Q2 earnings report, which pointed at a scenario of post-pandemic recovery for AMC, reinforces the fundamentalist thesis. Keep in mind, however, that meme mania has much more to do with momentum and market dynamics than with business fundamentals.</p>\n<h3>SEC looking closely at dark pools</h3>\n<p>One of the biggest complaints and concerns of AMC shareholders is the lack of transparency in the market. There seems to be a consensus among the ape community that dark pool activities and naked short selling could be hampering AMC's ride to new highs.</p>\n<p>Recently, SEC Chair Gay Genslerspoke directly on the matter, stating that the agency is looking closely at dark pool activities&nbsp;to protect investors. While no firm action has been taken yet, the SEC’s willingness to address the issue can be seen as positive news.</p>\n<h3>Short sellers get slapped</h3>\n<p>With over 92 million AMC shares currently shorted, sellers have racked up billions of dollars in losses since meme mania emerged.

Possibly motivated by broad market movements that were also positive, AMC surged 20% and finally broke into the $40 levels once again.\nNot yet satisfied, ambitious apes still believe that the recent move in AMC is just the tip of the iceberg, and that the path to the moon is gradually being paved. Wall Street Memes reviews AMC stock’s recent performance.\nBroad market strength\nThe US stock market had a record-breaking dayon August 24. In a week marked by chatter around monetary policy and the Jackson Hole symposium, vaccine approval news and the Chinese market’s retraction helped to fuel the market’s euphoria in the US.\nAMC trading volume reached about 220 million shares on August 24, more than double the average 10-day metric.\nFigure 1: AMC historical data and trading volume.\nBullish drivers\nAMC’s popularity across the main online discussion boards remains at peak levels. The top meme stock’s performance mirrored WallStreetBets’ commentary volume, although correlation does not necessarily mean causation.\nFigure 2: WSB ticker sentiment - AMC.Swaggy Stocks\nShort interest remains elevated and on the rise, at around 18% according to Yahoo Finance. Also, Wall Street analysts' bearishness towards the stock has served as fuel for defying AMC apes in their quest to squeeze short sellers out.\nThe company’s recent financial performance may also be playing a role in stock price action. The above-expectations Q2 earnings report, which pointed at a scenario of post-pandemic recovery for AMC, reinforces the fundamentalist thesis. Keep in mind, however, that meme mania has much more to do with momentum and market dynamics than with business fundamentals.\nSEC looking closely at dark pools\nOne of the biggest complaints and concerns of AMC shareholders is the lack of transparency in the market. There seems to be a consensus among the ape community that dark pool activities and naked short selling could be hampering AMC's ride to new highs.\nRecently, SEC Chair Gay Genslerspoke directly on the matter, stating that the agency is looking closely at dark pool activities to protect investors. While no firm action has been taken yet, the SEC’s willingness to address the issue can be seen as positive news.\nShort sellers get slapped\nWith over 92 million AMC shares currently shorted, sellers have racked up billions of dollars in losses since meme mania emerged. The latest data provided by third-party research reveals that, as of July 20, shorts had incurred year-to-date losses of $3.8 billion.\nShort seller losses are probably even higher now, since AMC stock has spiked 20% in August alone. Amid a new wave of optimism, bears might be playing with fire. How long will they withstand the upward pressures? Apes’ bet: not very long.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":307,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":810128344,"gmtCreate":1629954174288,"gmtModify":1631891460345,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Both have their valid points.

Revenue beat by $1.85 billion and EPS by $0.25. Almost every source of revenue posted significant growth, the three exceptions being Windows OEM, Surface and Xbox services. Windows OEM revenue declined by 3% year-over-year, Surface revenue declined 20%, and Xbox services revenue declined 4%.</p>\n<p>This shows how crucial cloud computing is becoming to Microsoft. The biggest winners in the fourth quarter by far were cloud services ((Azure, Office 365 and Dynamics 365)), along with LinkedIn. The company's more traditional fare, on the other hand, either declined or stagnated.</p>\n<p>If you'd told somebody in 2000 that Microsoft would be experiencing a Windows OEM revenue decline in 2021, they probably would have concluded that the company was done. In 2000, Windows&nbsp;made up 40%&nbsp;of Microsoft's total revenue. It was the company's best-known and most ubiquitous product. In some ways, it still is, as Windows is the Microsoft product that most individual users have the most familiarity with.</p>\n<p>But it's no longer the biggest driver of revenue. In the fourth quarter, \"productivity software\" - of which Windows is a part - made up 30% of MSFT's revenue. \"Intelligent Cloud\" on the other hand made up 37%. The Q4 results showed that Cloud Services are making up a bigger and bigger part of Microsoft's already massive business. That's a good thing, too, because many of Microsoft's other business segments aren't doing so great. In this article, I will develop a bullish thesis on Microsoft, arguing that its cloud business - particularly Azure - will help drive future growth. I will also use valuation metrics to argue that the stock is not particularly expensive even with its ample growth potential.</p>\n<p><b>Competitive Landscape</b></p>\n<p>Microsoft is a diversified tech company that competes with a number of other tech giants in industries like computer software, hardware and gaming. It is a major player in most of the industries it operates in. Some competitors worth mentioning briefly include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:AAPL), whose computers compete with machines that run Windows.</li>\n <li><b>Sony</b>(NYSE:SONY), Microsoft's main competitor in gaming.</li>\n <li><b>Nintendo</b>(OTCPK:NTDOY), arguably also a competitor in gaming, although it targets a very different player base than the ones who use Xbox and PlayStation.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These companies are competitors to Microsoft in the broadest sense, but aren't as relevant to the thesis presented in this article - which is that Microsoft's future growth will come from the cloud. With respect to cloud computing specifically, Microsoft's largest competitors are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN), through its massive AWS business.</li>\n <li><b>Google</b>(NASDAQ:GOOG), through Google Cloud.</li>\n <li><b>Alibaba</b>(NYSE:BABA), through Alibaba Cloud.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There are many other competitors in the space, but the three above are by far the largest. The&nbsp;market share rankings for these firms, according to Canalys, are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Amazon's AWS, at 32%.</li>\n <li>Azure at 19%.</li>\n <li>Google Cloud at 7%.</li>\n <li>Alibaba Cloud at 6%.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Each of these companies is a worthy competitor to Azure, the #2 in the space. I would argue that Alibaba is not really a major competitor, as it markets its services to companies hoping to enter the Chinese market. Azure&nbsp;does operate in China, but it's mostly focused on the United States. So really, Azure has two main competitors in its main geographic area - Amazon and Google - and it is second place among them. This is a solid position in the market, yet Microsoft is still a secondary player, so it can grow considerably by getting AWS customers to migrate to Azure. It can also grow by riding the growth in the broader industry, which is&nbsp;expected to grow at 17.7% CAGR&nbsp;to 2027.</p>\n<p><b>Azure as a Service</b></p>\n<p>Having looked at the competitive dynamics in Azure's industry, we can now look at the Azure service itself. A large market share today doesn't mean a large market share tomorrow - your product and marketing need to be superior to maintain your lead. So we need to look at what Azure actually is.</p>\n<p>Azure is a comprehensive cloud service that includes typical features like:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Cloud hosting.</li>\n <li>Data analytics.</li>\n <li>SQL databases - particularly those on Microsoft SQL server.</li>\n <li>Serverless Kubernetes.</li>\n <li>Virtual desktops and apps.</li>\n <li>A&nbsp;marketplace&nbsp;with apps by third parties that run on Azure.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Essentially, Azure provides a complete suite of infrastructure for cloud computing, that makes it easy for developers to build and scale their apps. In this sense it's no different from AWS or Google Cloud. However, it does have some advantages, including:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Lower pricing for Microsoft SQL Server.</li>\n <li>Cash savings for clients that are also licensing Microsoft's other products.</li>\n <li>Free security updates.</li>\n <li>Secure transfer of data between regions.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Overall, the Azure platform is ideally suited to developers already heavily using Microsoft software. Which is promising because many developers already use MS software before they ever choose a cloud provider.</p>\n<p><b>Recent Earnings</b></p>\n<p>Microsoft's most recent earnings were, as stated earlier, a huge win. The company beat on both the top and bottom line, and delivered even more impressive growth in some specific segments. Azure and LinkedIn delivered the most impressive growth, followed by search advertising. The headline numbers were:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Revenue: $46.1 billion, up 21%.</li>\n <li>Operating income: $19.1 billion, up 42%.</li>\n <li>Net income: $16.5 billion, up 47%.</li>\n <li>Diluted EPS: $2.17, up 49%.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The numbers by segment were:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Productivity and business process: $14.7 billion, up 25%.</li>\n <li>Intelligent cloud: $17.4 billion, up 30%.</li>\n <li>More personal computing: $14.1 billion, up 9%.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The \"intelligent cloud\" segment includes Azure as well as Cloud Services. These services have the potential to change the conversation on MSFT completely. If cloud revenue grows at 30% for the next four years, then it will equal Microsoft's<i>total</i>revenue for Q4 2021 by Q4 2025. That has major implications for the stock's valuation as I'll explore in the next section.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Microsoft, like most big tech stocks, trades at a relatively steep valuation. According to Seeking Alpha Quant, its multiples are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>GAAP P/E: 35.5.</li>\n <li>Adjusted P/E: 36.</li>\n <li>Price/sales: 12.9.</li>\n <li>Price/book: 15.2.</li>\n <li>Price/operating cash flow: 28.</li>\n <li>PEG ratio: 0.9.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The first five of these ratios are all pretty steep. Even the PEG ratio - low in absolute terms - is high for tech growth stocks. But recall the analysis in the earnings section above. If Microsoft's cloud services - including Azure - can keep growing at 30%, then they'll be the size of the company's total Q4 revenue in four years. If earnings grew in line with revenue, then the P/E ratio using today's price would be much lower. At this hypothetical future valuation, Microsoft would look like a steal. And in fact, Microsoft's cloud services could indeed grow at 30% for a long time. The total addressable market (TAM) is expected to grow at 17.7% CAGR for the next six years, and Microsoft is beating the industry's growth.</p>\n<p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p>\n<p>As we've seen, Microsoft is a fast growing business with particular strength in the Cloud. If things kept going the way they have been, Microsoft would prove to have been a steal at today's prices. But there are always risks and challenges to any investment thesis. Some challenges to mine include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Legal risk.</b>Microsoft has been in trouble for anti-trust violations before. It was charged and convicted of unlawful monopolization in 1998, but it was overturned on appeal. It could happen again. The FTC is currently suing Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Alphabet, and courts in other countries are pursuing similar actions. Microsoft doesn't appear to be in the FTC's crosshairs now, but it could wind up in them in the future.</li>\n <li><b>Revenue deceleration.</b>Prior to the most recent quarter, Azure was in a trend of revenue deceleration. Growth was 115% in fiscal 2016, it was down to 50% by Q3. In the fourth quarter the trend finally stopped, as the 51% Q4 growth beat the prior quarter. Still, the long term trend from 2016 to 2021 is one of deceleration. This is a significant risk to my thesis because a scenario I developed earlier - where cloud revenue equals Q4 2021 total revenue by Q4 2025 - depends on sustained 30% sales growth in cloud computing. If the growth decelerates down to 20% then it will take much longer for that scenario to play out.</li>\n <li><b>Risks to other business units.</b>Microsoft is doing extremely well with Azure, but other areas of its business aren't as healthy. PC and desktop sales have been stagnating for years, and much of Microsoft's revenue comes from licenses from Windows installed on PCs. Such revenue decreased 3% in Q4. Revenue from Xbox and Surface declined 4% and 20%, respectively. So there are many areas of Microsoft's business with unfavorable sales trends.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>The bottom line on Microsoft is this:</p>\n<p>It's a mature tech company with strong growth, strong profitability, and a growing cloud business that promises to keep it relevant for years to come.

Revenue beat by $1.85 billion and EPS by $0.25. Almost every source of revenue posted significant growth, the three exceptions being Windows OEM, Surface and Xbox services. Windows OEM revenue declined by 3% year-over-year, Surface revenue declined 20%, and Xbox services revenue declined 4%.\nThis shows how crucial cloud computing is becoming to Microsoft. The biggest winners in the fourth quarter by far were cloud services ((Azure, Office 365 and Dynamics 365)), along with LinkedIn. The company's more traditional fare, on the other hand, either declined or stagnated.\nIf you'd told somebody in 2000 that Microsoft would be experiencing a Windows OEM revenue decline in 2021, they probably would have concluded that the company was done. In 2000, Windows made up 40% of Microsoft's total revenue. It was the company's best-known and most ubiquitous product. In some ways, it still is, as Windows is the Microsoft product that most individual users have the most familiarity with.\nBut it's no longer the biggest driver of revenue. In the fourth quarter, \"productivity software\" - of which Windows is a part - made up 30% of MSFT's revenue. \"Intelligent Cloud\" on the other hand made up 37%. The Q4 results showed that Cloud Services are making up a bigger and bigger part of Microsoft's already massive business. That's a good thing, too, because many of Microsoft's other business segments aren't doing so great. In this article, I will develop a bullish thesis on Microsoft, arguing that its cloud business - particularly Azure - will help drive future growth. I will also use valuation metrics to argue that the stock is not particularly expensive even with its ample growth potential.\nCompetitive Landscape\nMicrosoft is a diversified tech company that competes with a number of other tech giants in industries like computer software, hardware and gaming. It is a major player in most of the industries it operates in. Some competitors worth mentioning briefly include:\n\nApple(NASDAQ:AAPL), whose computers compete with machines that run Windows.\nSony(NYSE:SONY), Microsoft's main competitor in gaming.\nNintendo(OTCPK:NTDOY), arguably also a competitor in gaming, although it targets a very different player base than the ones who use Xbox and PlayStation.\n\nThese companies are competitors to Microsoft in the broadest sense, but aren't as relevant to the thesis presented in this article - which is that Microsoft's future growth will come from the cloud. With respect to cloud computing specifically, Microsoft's largest competitors are:\n\nAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), through its massive AWS business.\nGoogle(NASDAQ:GOOG), through Google Cloud.\nAlibaba(NYSE:BABA), through Alibaba Cloud.\n\nThere are many other competitors in the space, but the three above are by far the largest. The market share rankings for these firms, according to Canalys, are:\n\nAmazon's AWS, at 32%.\nAzure at 19%.\nGoogle Cloud at 7%.\nAlibaba Cloud at 6%.\n\nEach of these companies is a worthy competitor to Azure, the #2 in the space. I would argue that Alibaba is not really a major competitor, as it markets its services to companies hoping to enter the Chinese market. Azure does operate in China, but it's mostly focused on the United States. So really, Azure has two main competitors in its main geographic area - Amazon and Google - and it is second place among them. This is a solid position in the market, yet Microsoft is still a secondary player, so it can grow considerably by getting AWS customers to migrate to Azure. It can also grow by riding the growth in the broader industry, which is expected to grow at 17.7% CAGR to 2027.\nAzure as a Service\nHaving looked at the competitive dynamics in Azure's industry, we can now look at the Azure service itself. A large market share today doesn't mean a large market share tomorrow - your product and marketing need to be superior to maintain your lead. So we need to look at what Azure actually is.\nAzure is a comprehensive cloud service that includes typical features like:\n\nCloud hosting.\nData analytics.\nSQL databases - particularly those on Microsoft SQL server.\nServerless Kubernetes.\nVirtual desktops and apps.\nA marketplace with apps by third parties that run on Azure.\n\nEssentially, Azure provides a complete suite of infrastructure for cloud computing, that makes it easy for developers to build and scale their apps. In this sense it's no different from AWS or Google Cloud. However, it does have some advantages, including:\n\nLower pricing for Microsoft SQL Server.\nCash savings for clients that are also licensing Microsoft's other products.\nFree security updates.\nSecure transfer of data between regions.\n\nOverall, the Azure platform is ideally suited to developers already heavily using Microsoft software. Which is promising because many developers already use MS software before they ever choose a cloud provider.\nRecent Earnings\nMicrosoft's most recent earnings were, as stated earlier, a huge win. The company beat on both the top and bottom line, and delivered even more impressive growth in some specific segments. Azure and LinkedIn delivered the most impressive growth, followed by search advertising. The headline numbers were:\n\nRevenue: $46.1 billion, up 21%.\nOperating income: $19.1 billion, up 42%.\nNet income: $16.5 billion, up 47%.\nDiluted EPS: $2.17, up 49%.\n\nThe numbers by segment were:\n\nProductivity and business process: $14.7 billion, up 25%.\nIntelligent cloud: $17.4 billion, up 30%.\nMore personal computing: $14.1 billion, up 9%.\n\nThe \"intelligent cloud\" segment includes Azure as well as Cloud Services. These services have the potential to change the conversation on MSFT completely. If cloud revenue grows at 30% for the next four years, then it will equal Microsoft'stotalrevenue for Q4 2021 by Q4 2025. That has major implications for the stock's valuation as I'll explore in the next section.\nValuation\nMicrosoft, like most big tech stocks, trades at a relatively steep valuation. According to Seeking Alpha Quant, its multiples are:\n\nGAAP P/E: 35.5.\nAdjusted P/E: 36.\nPrice/sales: 12.9.\nPrice/book: 15.2.\nPrice/operating cash flow: 28.\nPEG ratio: 0.9.\n\nThe first five of these ratios are all pretty steep. Even the PEG ratio - low in absolute terms - is high for tech growth stocks. But recall the analysis in the earnings section above. If Microsoft's cloud services - including Azure - can keep growing at 30%, then they'll be the size of the company's total Q4 revenue in four years. If earnings grew in line with revenue, then the P/E ratio using today's price would be much lower. At this hypothetical future valuation, Microsoft would look like a steal. And in fact, Microsoft's cloud services could indeed grow at 30% for a long time. The total addressable market (TAM) is expected to grow at 17.7% CAGR for the next six years, and Microsoft is beating the industry's growth.\nRisks and Challenges\nAs we've seen, Microsoft is a fast growing business with particular strength in the Cloud. If things kept going the way they have been, Microsoft would prove to have been a steal at today's prices. But there are always risks and challenges to any investment thesis. Some challenges to mine include:\n\nLegal risk.Microsoft has been in trouble for anti-trust violations before. It was charged and convicted of unlawful monopolization in 1998, but it was overturned on appeal. It could happen again. The FTC is currently suing Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)and Alphabet, and courts in other countries are pursuing similar actions. Microsoft doesn't appear to be in the FTC's crosshairs now, but it could wind up in them in the future.\nRevenue deceleration.Prior to the most recent quarter, Azure was in a trend of revenue deceleration. Growth was 115% in fiscal 2016, it was down to 50% by Q3. In the fourth quarter the trend finally stopped, as the 51% Q4 growth beat the prior quarter. Still, the long term trend from 2016 to 2021 is one of deceleration. This is a significant risk to my thesis because a scenario I developed earlier - where cloud revenue equals Q4 2021 total revenue by Q4 2025 - depends on sustained 30% sales growth in cloud computing. If the growth decelerates down to 20% then it will take much longer for that scenario to play out.\nRisks to other business units.Microsoft is doing extremely well with Azure, but other areas of its business aren't as healthy. PC and desktop sales have been stagnating for years, and much of Microsoft's revenue comes from licenses from Windows installed on PCs. Such revenue decreased 3% in Q4. Revenue from Xbox and Surface declined 4% and 20%, respectively. So there are many areas of Microsoft's business with unfavorable sales trends.\n\nThe Bottom Line\nThe bottom line on Microsoft is this:\nIt's a mature tech company with strong growth, strong profitability, and a growing cloud business that promises to keep it relevant for years to come. At this point, MSFT's flagship Windows business is showing its age, but with Azure rising at 51% year-over-year, the company has plenty of other vehicles for growth. On top of that, the stock - while a little pricey by conventional metrics - is hardly trading at a nosebleed valuation by the standards of big tech stocks. Overall, it's a great value at today's prices.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":143,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897905760,"gmtCreate":1628866108650,"gmtModify":1631883894725,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Engaging with public is one of the smartest move.

NVDA has also been successful in gaining access to adjacent markets with its GPUs, especially AI and automotive markets.</p>\n<h3><b>The Ins And Outs of Intel</b></h3>\n<p>An understanding of Intel also provides insights into AMD. This is due to the overlap between the two companies, particularly in regards to x86 chips. Intel developed the x86 chip in 1978. To satisfy demands by IBM that Intel would not be the sole supplier of the chips, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a> provided x86 instruction set architecture licensing to AMD.</p>\n<p>Consequently, Intel and AMD have a duopoly position in the PC and server markets, as nearly all computer software is written for x86 architecture. The result is that both have a wide moat related to the x86 ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Gaming consoles in particular are based on x86 architecture due to those platforms generally providing more powerful CPUs and GPUs with multiple compute cores. Like PCs, consoles operate with games that use x86 based software. Once again, this stifles potential competition from ARM-based devices.</p>\n<p>Until fairly recently, AMD was a distant second to INTC as a supplier of x86 chips. However, AMD teamed with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</a> to use that manufacturer’s 7nm process to surpass INTC in process technology. Combined with AMD’s developing new innovative chip designs, this one-two punch resulted in INTC losing significant market share.</p>\n<p>At the end of Q1, AMD held 19.30% of the x86 desktop&nbsp;market, a 70 basis point gain year-over-year. In Q2 AMD corralled 8% of the server market, up from a 5%&nbsp;market&nbsp;share in Q4 of 2019.</p>\n<p>Despite these setbacks, it seems premature to view Intel as a moribund business. INTC is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. The firm dominates the server market, and still holds 60% of the global x86 CPU&nbsp;market.</p>\n<p>The company has an enormous R&amp;D budget, and it is expanding into new markets, primarily Artificial Intelligence, Field-Programmable Gate Array chips, and automotive offerings, through its acquisitions of Habana Labs, Altera, Movidius, and Mobileye.</p>\n<p>Investors should not be swayed by the claim that Intel’s new 10nm chips are inferior to 7nm solely on the basis that 7 is superior to 10. While once used to denote the technology level of a chip design, it has been misused to the point of being useless.</p>\n<p>However, there are a number of concerns that must be acknowledged. Intel lags competitors in the smartphone market. As consumers shift to mobile devices, this could result in a sustained headwind as smartphones take the place of PCs. On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that INTC’s server processor business has seen growth associated with the surge in mobile devices and cloud computing.</p>\n<p>Intel also faces increased competition from AMD in the data center space, as well as customers developing their own ARM-based chips for CPUs.</p>\n<h3><b>An Overview of AMD</b></h3>\n<p>In years past, INTC held the lion’s share of the x86 market. This was due in part to Intel’s leading-edge manufacturing combined with AMD’s wafer supply agreements with less than stellar GlobalFoundries.</p>\n<p>However, a seismic shift occurred due to three factors: driven by innovative designs, AMD brought competitive products to market, AMD shifted to TSMC for production, and Intel faced repeated manufacturing delays. The two charts below document the progress the company has made.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b28bd5a29c4d6e04d8572204ac076c3\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"989\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Source:</i>&nbsp;<i>Q2 Earnings Presentation</i></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e10707bb654699caa86134f9e42a1ed\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"989\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Source:</i>&nbsp;<i>Q2 Earnings Presentation</i></p>\n<p>Like Intel, AMD’s primary products are CPUs and GPUs. AMD’s chips are designed for PCs, game consoles, servers, and blockchain applications. And like INTC, AMD’s offerings are largely protected from competition due to the preponderance of software for PCs and servers being designed for x86 architecture.</p>\n<p>AMD’s strong growth has largely come at the expense of Intel as AMD has steadily chipped away at the former company’s CPU market share.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6063d2ec5150116df105ece17f084c57\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Source:</i>&nbsp;<i>Seeking Alpha</i></p>\n<p>AMD’s focus on CPU and GPU semi-custom processor applications has resulted in their use in Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation game consoles.</p>\n<p>In regards to PC integrated GPUs, AMD is roughly in parity with NVIDIA while INTC dominates with roughly 68% of the market.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d252a63cae489770f58f875955533b\" tg-width=\"544\" tg-height=\"394\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Source:</i>&nbsp;<i>tom'sHARDWARE</i></p>\n<p>However, NVIDIA dominates the discrete GPU space with an 80% plus market share with AMD sweeping up what is left. NVIDIA’s discrete GPUs are arguably superior to AMD’s (more on that later); therefore, investors should not look for growth here.</p>\n<p>Although AMD’s EPYC server CPU products were competitive with that of rivals, initially the company relied on aggressive pricing to promote its first generation of EPYC offerings. However, the EPYC line has gained wider acceptance, and with the Milan processors, the company is gaining market share. As server CPUs provide a better profit margin than the company’s other products, expansion into that space should aid in driving revenue.</p>\n<p>Late last year,&nbsp;AMD entered into&nbsp;a deal&nbsp;to acquire&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLNX\">Xilinx</a>, a leader in field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. FPGAs can be used for a wide variety of applications. Because shifting to a competing FPGA provider requires retraining of engineers in software and design tools, customers are loath to make a switch to a competing vendor. Consequently, if the Xilinx deal goes through, AMD will have acquired a wide moat business. Management guides for operational efficiencies of approximately $300 million within 18 months of closing the transaction.</p>\n<p>The Xilinx acquisition should bolster AMD’s data center and artificial intelligence businesses.</p>\n<p>AMD agreed to acquire Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock transaction.</p>\n<h3><b>A Survey of NVIDIA</b></h3>\n<p>NVDA's focus on the graphics processing units market has led the company to a dominant position in the discrete GPU space. The firm is the leader in discrete GPUs for computing platforms, especially gaming consoles. The fact that Intel licensed intellectual property from NVIDIA to integrate GPUs into its PC chipset testifies to the lead the company maintains.</p>\n<p>The chart below provides a record of the burgeoning ASP the company has been able to command over the last half decade, beginning with the Pascal architecture in 2016, and progressing through Turing to Ampere.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea9d8aa80e3acf2fbc6571673e2ae1d5\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Source:</i>&nbsp;<i>AMD Investor Presentation</i></p>\n<p>The firm’s chips are also found in many high-end PCs, and NVDA has particular strength in the incipient AI and self-driving vehicle markets.</p>\n<p>GPUs are being teamed with CPUs to&nbsp;enhance&nbsp;computation workloads. This stratagem is designed to bolster the ability of AI systems to perform computationally intensive tasks. AI related to&nbsp;autonomous&nbsp;vehicles is a developing strength for NVIDIA. Another arena in which the firm is making its mark is in cloud</p>\n<p>AI and data centers pose the most likely avenue of growth for NVDA. To strengthen its position in both businesses, the company moved last year to acquire <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARMH\">ARM Holdings PLC</a> from parent company Softbank for $40 billion.</p>\n<p>ARM is the globe’s largest licensor of chip designs. Its chips are ubiquitous and can be found in mobile phones, smart TVs, and tablet computers. 160 billion chips have been made using ARM designs.</p>\n<p>Perhaps of equal importance is that 13 million developers work with ARM devices. To place that in context, NVDA has 2 million developers working on its array of devices.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately for investors, both&nbsp;China&nbsp;and the&nbsp;U.K.&nbsp;are reportedly balking at approving the deal.</p>\n<h3><b>Head-To-Head Comparisons&nbsp;</b></h3>\n<h4><b><b>Valuation Metrics</b></b></h4>\n<p>The following chart provides a variety of metrics related to each stock's valuation. All data labeled forward is analysts’ next fiscal year consensus estimate.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1483e1125a8ae12c28486f03ecba37f5\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Source:</i>&nbsp;<i>Seeking Alpha Premium/ chart by author</i></p>\n<p>Next, I’m using a graph to provide PEG ratios for the three companies. As there can be fairly wide variations in PEG ratios due to analysts’ inputs, I prefer that readers have access to multiple sources when I find wide variance in the ratio.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/796e9f5f93b9c2e1084b517ad818fe49\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Chart by author</i></p>\n<p>Note that Seeking Alpha provides a three to five-year PEG, Schwab simply lists its metric as a PEG ratio, while Yahoo! Finance calculates a five-year ratio. This could explain some of the variance in the numbers provided.</p>\n<p>Perusing the first chart, it is obvious that NVDA is the most overvalued. It is also interesting to note that in the current P/E and the forward price/cash flow estimates show AMD as valued near the sector median.</p>\n<p>Count me as an investor that places great emphasis on a stocks PEG Ratio. Viewing the second chart, AMD has the best PEG of the three companies. I also note that analysts from each source calculated AMD’s PEG ratio as better than the sector median.</p>\n<p>Do not misinterpret my findings. While INTC has a lower valuation in many respects, when considering other factors, I rate AMD higher overall. In other words, it is not the cheapest valuation but the best valuation, for lack of a better means to articulate my view.</p>\n<h4><b>=Advantage AMD</b></h4>\n<h4><b>Analysts’ Price Targets</b></h4>\n<p>NVIDIA shares currently trade for $202.95. The average 12-month price target of 33 analysts is $186.49. The average price target of the 17 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $210.53, about 3.7% above the current price of the stock.</p>\n<p>AMD shares currently trade for $107.58. The average 12-month price target of 28 analysts is $108.56. The average price target of the 11 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $117.27, roughly 9% above the prevailing share price.</p>\n<p>Intel shares currently trade for $54.05. The average 12-month price target of 34 analysts is $59.86. The average price target of the 16 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $58.97, a 9% premium over the current share price.</p>\n<p>Investors should be aware that it has been nearly three months since NVDA posted quarterly earnings while INTC and AMD reported recently.</p>\n<h4><b>=Tie AMD/INTC</b></h4>\n<h4><b>Growth Rates</b></h4>\n<p>The next chart provides data for growth rates. Unless otherwise noted, the metrics reflect analysts' average two-year forecasts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b1c8f71846f58df29bde7aad99bd6ecb\" tg-width=\"577\" tg-height=\"337\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><i>Source:</i>&nbsp;<i>Seeking Alpha Premium/ Chart by author</i></p>\n<p>While investors familiar with these three companies would expect INTC to perform poorly in relation to NVDA and AMD in regarding growth, in several cases Intel is projected to experience negative growth rates.</p>\n<p>Advanced Micro Devices projected growth leads that of NVIDIA in every category, and at times by very wide margins.</p>\n<h4><b>=Advantage AMD</b></h4>\n<p>I considered providing a chart outlining the profitability of each company; however, suffice it to say that each is highly profitable, and that a juxtaposition of the three would result in a tie.</p>\n<p>I often provide a comparison that breaks down dividend metrics, but AMD does not pay a dividend, and NVDA has an anemic yield. INTC currently yields about 2.6%. The dividend is well funded.</p>\n<h4><b>Debt Metrics</b></h4>\n<p>NVIDIA had $12.67 billion in cash and $5.96 billion at the end of the last quarter. Should the ARM acquisition meet approval, the deal is structured so that $21 billion of the $40 billion purchase price will be in stock.</p>\n<p>AMD has restructured its debt resulting in reduced interest costs. If AMD acquires Xilinx, the company would add up to $34 billion in debt. AMD had about $3.8 billion in cash and $313 million in long-term debt at the end of the most recent quarter.</p>\n<p>Intel's has solid investment-grade credit ratings. The company held nearly $24.86 billion cash at the end of the last quarter and had $31.7 billion long-term debt.</p>\n<p>All three firms have strong financial positions. Weighing the possibility that NVDA and AMD may add debt due to prospective acquisitions, I am rating the three firms as equals.</p>\n<h4><b>R&amp;D Budgets</b></h4>\n<p>This is the first time I have&nbsp;compared&nbsp;the R&amp;D budgets of companies for a head-to-head showdown. However, in the semiconductor industry, that can be of pivotal importance.</p>\n<p>Last fiscal year, Intel devoted over $13.5 billion to R&amp;D, NVDA spent nearly $2.83 billion, and AMD budgeted a bit over $1.9 billion on research and development.</p>\n<p>AMD is at a clear disadvantage, and that weakness is magnified because it often competes against INTC and NVDA in different arenas. It should be noted that a portion of Intel’s R&amp;D is funneled to its foundry business. Nevertheless, it is the clear winner here, and AMD is the obvious loser.</p>\n<p>I should add that NVDA is chipping away at AMD’s share of the discrete GPU market, and I believe that trend will continue, in part due to the disparity in R&amp;D budgets.</p>\n<p><b>=Advantage INTC</b></p>\n<h3><b>Bottom Line: Which Is The Best Chip Stock?</b></h3>\n<p>To arrive at an answer, much depends on whether NVIDIA can complete its acquisition of ARM.</p>\n<p>Because ARM processors are more power and cost-efficient than x86 chips, NVDA could gain market share in the data center space. Since around a third of Intel’s revenue flows from data centers, that could represent a headwind for INTC and a positive for NVDA. However, there is a good chance the deal will fail to close.</p>\n<p>The degree of success Intel finds as itsplannedfoundries come online is another factor that should be weighed.</p>\n<p>A development to be weighed is that AMD has now reached parity with INTC in the PC market in terms of the quality of its products. Furthermore, AMD is gaining market share in the server market, and I expect that trend to continue.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, AMD is losing share in the discrete GPU market to NVDA. NVDA has a technological lead in that space which will probably continue.</p>\n<p>While AMD and NVDA are seen as growth machines, one should not ignore that Intel’s Internet of Things business increased by 47% in the last quarter. Mobileye also saw a surge in growth with revenue increasing 124%. Although these businesses only totaled $1.3 billion in revenue, a fraction of Intel's total revenue of $18.5 billion, they still represent areas of high growth.</p>\n<p>However, note the header refers to “chip stock.” Consequently, technological advantages are but one part of the puzzle. Any investment decision must take current valuations and prospective growth rates into account.</p>\n<p>With that in mind, I must rate NVIDIA as a HOLD due to current valuation and growth estimates. Note my rating is based on the current valuation of the stock. I acknowledge the exemplary leadership of the company and believe the long-term prospect for the stock is excellent.</p>\n<p>I also rate INTC as a HOLD. I previously rated the company as a buy. While I still believe the firm will serve long-term investors well, I now believe its recovery will unfold over a long time span, and better opportunities are available.</p>\n<p>I rate AMD as a BUY. This is based on the current valuations and growth rates outlined in this article. I’ll add that those metrics are buttressed by my perception that as Intel works on its recovery, AMD is likely to chip away at market share.</p>","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>AMD, Intel, And Nvidia: Which Is The Best Chip Stock?</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\">\nAMD, Intel, And Nvidia: Which Is The Best Chip Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-13 10:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4448637-amd-intel-nvidia-best-chip-stock><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAMD's recent CPU and GPU offerings have been more competitive with Intel and NVIDIA's products.\nAMD’s EPYC server chips have proved to be comparable or even superior to certain Intel chips ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4448637-amd-intel-nvidia-best-chip-stock\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMD":"美国超微公司","NVDA":"英伟达","INTC":"英特尔"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4448637-amd-intel-nvidia-best-chip-stock","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1109220984","content_text":"Summary\n\nAMD's recent CPU and GPU offerings have been more competitive with Intel and NVIDIA's products.\nAMD’s EPYC server chips have proved to be comparable or even superior to certain Intel chips and have led to AMD gaining server CPU market share.\nEven so, Intel is the leader in the processor market and holds long-term advantages over AMD in R&D, marketing, and pricing.\nNvidia is ahead of AMD in GPU technology and is leveraging its GPUs into adjacent end markets such as artificial intelligence.\nLooking for a helping hand in the market?

On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that INTC’s server processor business has seen growth associated with the surge in mobile devices and cloud computing.\nIntel also faces increased competition from AMD in the data center space, as well as customers developing their own ARM-based chips for CPUs.\nAn Overview of AMD\nIn years past, INTC held the lion’s share of the x86 market. This was due in part to Intel’s leading-edge manufacturing combined with AMD’s wafer supply agreements with less than stellar GlobalFoundries.\nHowever, a seismic shift occurred due to three factors: driven by innovative designs, AMD brought competitive products to market, AMD shifted to TSMC for production, and Intel faced repeated manufacturing delays. The two charts below document the progress the company has made.Source: Q2 Earnings Presentation\nSource: Q2 Earnings Presentation\nLike Intel, AMD’s primary products are CPUs and GPUs. AMD’s chips are designed for PCs, game consoles, servers, and blockchain applications. And like INTC, AMD’s offerings are largely protected from competition due to the preponderance of software for PCs and servers being designed for x86 architecture.\nAMD’s strong growth has largely come at the expense of Intel as AMD has steadily chipped away at the former company’s CPU market share.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nAMD’s focus on CPU and GPU semi-custom processor applications has resulted in their use in Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation game consoles.\nIn regards to PC integrated GPUs, AMD is roughly in parity with NVIDIA while INTC dominates with roughly 68% of the market.\nSource: tom'sHARDWARE\nHowever, NVIDIA dominates the discrete GPU space with an 80% plus market share with AMD sweeping up what is left. NVIDIA’s discrete GPUs are arguably superior to AMD’s (more on that later); therefore, investors should not look for growth here.\nAlthough AMD’s EPYC server CPU products were competitive with that of rivals, initially the company relied on aggressive pricing to promote its first generation of EPYC offerings. However, the EPYC line has gained wider acceptance, and with the Milan processors, the company is gaining market share. As server CPUs provide a better profit margin than the company’s other products, expansion into that space should aid in driving revenue.\nLate last year, AMD entered into a deal to acquire Xilinx, a leader in field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. FPGAs can be used for a wide variety of applications. Because shifting to a competing FPGA provider requires retraining of engineers in software and design tools, customers are loath to make a switch to a competing vendor. Consequently, if the Xilinx deal goes through, AMD will have acquired a wide moat business. Management guides for operational efficiencies of approximately $300 million within 18 months of closing the transaction.\nThe Xilinx acquisition should bolster AMD’s data center and artificial intelligence businesses.\nAMD agreed to acquire Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock transaction.\nA Survey of NVIDIA\nNVDA's focus on the graphics processing units market has led the company to a dominant position in the discrete GPU space. The firm is the leader in discrete GPUs for computing platforms, especially gaming consoles. The fact that Intel licensed intellectual property from NVIDIA to integrate GPUs into its PC chipset testifies to the lead the company maintains.\nThe chart below provides a record of the burgeoning ASP the company has been able to command over the last half decade, beginning with the Pascal architecture in 2016, and progressing through Turing to Ampere.\nSource: AMD Investor Presentation\nThe firm’s chips are also found in many high-end PCs, and NVDA has particular strength in the incipient AI and self-driving vehicle markets.\nGPUs are being teamed with CPUs to enhance computation workloads. This stratagem is designed to bolster the ability of AI systems to perform computationally intensive tasks. AI related to autonomous vehicles is a developing strength for NVIDIA. Another arena in which the firm is making its mark is in cloud\nAI and data centers pose the most likely avenue of growth for NVDA. To strengthen its position in both businesses, the company moved last year to acquire ARM Holdings PLC from parent company Softbank for $40 billion.\nARM is the globe’s largest licensor of chip designs. Its chips are ubiquitous and can be found in mobile phones, smart TVs, and tablet computers. 160 billion chips have been made using ARM designs.\nPerhaps of equal importance is that 13 million developers work with ARM devices. To place that in context, NVDA has 2 million developers working on its array of devices.\nUnfortunately for investors, both China and the U.K. are reportedly balking at approving the deal.\nHead-To-Head Comparisons \nValuation Metrics\nThe following chart provides a variety of metrics related to each stock's valuation. All data labeled forward is analysts’ next fiscal year consensus estimate.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium/ chart by author\nNext, I’m using a graph to provide PEG ratios for the three companies. As there can be fairly wide variations in PEG ratios due to analysts’ inputs, I prefer that readers have access to multiple sources when I find wide variance in the ratio.\nChart by author\nNote that Seeking Alpha provides a three to five-year PEG, Schwab simply lists its metric as a PEG ratio, while Yahoo! Finance calculates a five-year ratio. This could explain some of the variance in the numbers provided.\nPerusing the first chart, it is obvious that NVDA is the most overvalued. It is also interesting to note that in the current P/E and the forward price/cash flow estimates show AMD as valued near the sector median.\nCount me as an investor that places great emphasis on a stocks PEG Ratio. Viewing the second chart, AMD has the best PEG of the three companies. I also note that analysts from each source calculated AMD’s PEG ratio as better than the sector median.\nDo not misinterpret my findings. While INTC has a lower valuation in many respects, when considering other factors, I rate AMD higher overall. In other words, it is not the cheapest valuation but the best valuation, for lack of a better means to articulate my view.\n=Advantage AMD\nAnalysts’ Price Targets\nNVIDIA shares currently trade for $202.95. The average 12-month price target of 33 analysts is $186.49. The average price target of the 17 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $210.53, about 3.7% above the current price of the stock.\nAMD shares currently trade for $107.58. The average 12-month price target of 28 analysts is $108.56. The average price target of the 11 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $117.27, roughly 9% above the prevailing share price.\nIntel shares currently trade for $54.05. The average 12-month price target of 34 analysts is $59.86. The average price target of the 16 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $58.97, a 9% premium over the current share price.\nInvestors should be aware that it has been nearly three months since NVDA posted quarterly earnings while INTC and AMD reported recently.\n=Tie AMD/INTC\nGrowth Rates\nThe next chart provides data for growth rates. Unless otherwise noted, the metrics reflect analysts' average two-year forecasts.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium/ Chart by author\nWhile investors familiar with these three companies would expect INTC to perform poorly in relation to NVDA and AMD in regarding growth, in several cases Intel is projected to experience negative growth rates.\nAdvanced Micro Devices projected growth leads that of NVIDIA in every category, and at times by very wide margins.\n=Advantage AMD\nI considered providing a chart outlining the profitability of each company; however, suffice it to say that each is highly profitable, and that a juxtaposition of the three would result in a tie.\nI often provide a comparison that breaks down dividend metrics, but AMD does not pay a dividend, and NVDA has an anemic yield. INTC currently yields about 2.6%. The dividend is well funded.\nDebt Metrics\nNVIDIA had $12.67 billion in cash and $5.96 billion at the end of the last quarter. Should the ARM acquisition meet approval, the deal is structured so that $21 billion of the $40 billion purchase price will be in stock.\nAMD has restructured its debt resulting in reduced interest costs. If AMD acquires Xilinx, the company would add up to $34 billion in debt. AMD had about $3.8 billion in cash and $313 million in long-term debt at the end of the most recent quarter.\nIntel's has solid investment-grade credit ratings. The company held nearly $24.86 billion cash at the end of the last quarter and had $31.7 billion long-term debt.\nAll three firms have strong financial positions. Weighing the possibility that NVDA and AMD may add debt due to prospective acquisitions, I am rating the three firms as equals.\nR&D Budgets\nThis is the first time I have compared the R&D budgets of companies for a head-to-head showdown. However, in the semiconductor industry, that can be of pivotal importance.\nLast fiscal year, Intel devoted over $13.5 billion to R&D, NVDA spent nearly $2.83 billion, and AMD budgeted a bit over $1.9 billion on research and development.\nAMD is at a clear disadvantage, and that weakness is magnified because it often competes against INTC and NVDA in different arenas. It should be noted that a portion of Intel’s R&D is funneled to its foundry business. Nevertheless, it is the clear winner here, and AMD is the obvious loser.\nI should add that NVDA is chipping away at AMD’s share of the discrete GPU market, and I believe that trend will continue, in part due to the disparity in R&D budgets.\n=Advantage INTC\nBottom Line: Which Is The Best Chip Stock?\nTo arrive at an answer, much depends on whether NVIDIA can complete its acquisition of ARM.\nBecause ARM processors are more power and cost-efficient than x86 chips, NVDA could gain market share in the data center space. Since around a third of Intel’s revenue flows from data centers, that could represent a headwind for INTC and a positive for NVDA. However, there is a good chance the deal will fail to close.\nThe degree of success Intel finds as itsplannedfoundries come online is another factor that should be weighed.\nA development to be weighed is that AMD has now reached parity with INTC in the PC market in terms of the quality of its products. Furthermore, AMD is gaining market share in the server market, and I expect that trend to continue.\nOn the other hand, AMD is losing share in the discrete GPU market to NVDA. NVDA has a technological lead in that space which will probably continue.\nWhile AMD and NVDA are seen as growth machines, one should not ignore that Intel’s Internet of Things business increased by 47% in the last quarter. Mobileye also saw a surge in growth with revenue increasing 124%. Although these businesses only totaled $1.3 billion in revenue, a fraction of Intel's total revenue of $18.5 billion, they still represent areas of high growth.\nHowever, note the header refers to “chip stock.” Consequently, technological advantages are but one part of the puzzle. Any investment decision must take current valuations and prospective growth rates into account.\nWith that in mind, I must rate NVIDIA as a HOLD due to current valuation and growth estimates. Note my rating is based on the current valuation of the stock. I acknowledge the exemplary leadership of the company and believe the long-term prospect for the stock is excellent.\nI also rate INTC as a HOLD. I previously rated the company as a buy. While I still believe the firm will serve long-term investors well, I now believe its recovery will unfold over a long time span, and better opportunities are available.\nI rate AMD as a BUY. This is based on the current valuations and growth rates outlined in this article. I’ll add that those metrics are buttressed by my perception that as Intel works on its recovery, AMD is likely to chip away at market share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":379,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895767086,"gmtCreate":1628774674745,"gmtModify":1631891460395,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Long Chiliz and other NFT plays","listText":"Long Chiliz and other NFT plays","text":"Long Chiliz and other NFT plays","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/895767086","repostId":"1124285877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124285877","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628768412,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1124285877?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-12 19:40","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Messi joins crypto craze as gets part of PSG fee in fan tokens","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124285877","media":"Reuters","summary":"MIAMI (Reuters) -Soccer star Lionel Messi’s signing on fee at Paris St Germain includes some of the ","content":"<p>MIAMI (Reuters) -Soccer star Lionel Messi’s signing on fee at Paris St Germain includes some of the French club’s cryptocurrency fan tokens, in the latest big name endorsement of new digital assets.</p>\n<p>The Argentine, 34, left Spanish side Barcelona and signed a two-year contract with Qatari-owned Paris St Germain (PSG), with an option for a third year, on Tuesday.</p>\n<p>Confirming an exclusive Reuters report, PSG said on Thursday the tokens were included in his “welcome package,” which media reports have estimated at 25-30 million euros ($29-35 million).

But even with its massive short interest, traders shouldn’t expect a short squeeze from<b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</p>\n<p><b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>) and<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) are just two examples of stocks that skyrocketed this year thanks to short squeezes. Short sellers have always liked TSLA stock. But it takes more than just a large amount of short interest to trigger a short squeeze.</p>\n<p>The most important factor when it comes to a short squeeze isn’t total short interest.</p>\n<p><b>Anatomy of a Short Squeeze</b></p>\n<p>It’s short percent of float. A company’s total number of existing shares are its shares outstanding. However, a significant portion of those shares outstanding are typically held by large institutional investors and company insiders. On a standard day in the market, big institutions and company executives aren’t trading millions of dollars of stock.</p>\n<p>Everyone familiar with the basics of a free market knows that price is typically determined by market supply and demand. In the stock market, the number of shares of stock is the supply side of the equation. If company insiders and institutions aren’t selling, their shares aren’t available to contribute to the available market supply.</p>\n<p>A company’s “float” represents the total shares not held by company insiders or institutions. In a practical sense, it represents the effective supply of shares available to trade freely on the market.</p>\n<p>A short squeeze is triggered in part when there is not enough supply of shares to meet demand. That dynamic sends a stock’s share price soaring. And that soaring share price triggers short sellers to cover their positions by buying stock. The more short sellers cover, the bigger the losses remaining short sellers endure.</p>\n<p>At some point, the positive feedback loop hits the point of no return and the stock takes off to the moon.</p>\n<p>Short percent of float is calculated by taking the total short interest and dividing by the total float. It’s a crude estimate of just how explosive a short squeeze could be if all the short sellers are forced to cover all at once.</p>\n<p><b>TSLA Stock vs. GameStop</b></p>\n<p>According toOrtex Analytics, TSLA stock recently had a total short interest of about 32.36 million shares. At a share price of about $645, short sellers were betting $20.87 billion against TSLA stock.</p>\n<p>GameStop recently had about 8 million shares held short, according to Ortex. At a share price of $169, that means GameStop’s total short interest was about $1.35 billion.</p>\n<p>So how is it that GME stock experienced the mother of all short squeezes back in January? Meanwhile, TSLA stock is down 4.7% year-to-date.</p>\n<p>GameStop’s short percent of float recently was about 13.3%. Any number over 10% is relatively high, but it’s nothing crazy for a company like GameStop that is struggling so badly. Tesla’s short percent of float is currently just 4.1%, which is certainly nothing extraordinary.</p>\n<p>Back on Jan. 15, GameStop’s short percent of float was an eye-popping 107.7%. That extremely high short interest coupled with the flood of Reddit traders buying the stock is the reason GME stock skyrocketed from under $20 to as high as $483 in just a couple of weeks. It was a classic short squeeze.</p>\n<p>Since that time, GameStop’s short interest and short percent of float plummeted. It’s no coincidence the stock has dropped back below $165 as well.</p>\n<p><b>What Does This Mean for Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>Yes, short sellers are betting $20.87 billion against Tesla, which is a massive amount of money. But Tesla is a $620 billion company with a huge float. It’s highly unlikely there will ever be the type of supply shortage in TSLA stock that triggered the AMC and GameStop short squeezes earlier this year.</p>\n<p>TSLA stock is not a great short squeeze candidate. Tesla is a story stock. It trades higher or lower based on the story that CEO Elon Musk and other Tesla enthusiasts spread about the company’s potential to completely take over the global auto, energy, technology and transportation industries in the long-term.</p>\n<p>When chapters get added to the story, the stock goes higher. Musk is an excellent storyteller, and he has legions of followers willing to listen to anything he says.</p>\n<p>Byalmost everyobjective fundamental valuation metric, TSLA stock is extremely overvalued.

But even with its massive short interest, traders shouldn’t expect a short squeeze fromTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)\nGameStop(NYSE:GME) andAMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC) are just two examples of stocks that skyrocketed this year thanks to short squeezes. Short sellers have always liked TSLA stock. But it takes more than just a large amount of short interest to trigger a short squeeze.\nThe most important factor when it comes to a short squeeze isn’t total short interest.\nAnatomy of a Short Squeeze\nIt’s short percent of float. A company’s total number of existing shares are its shares outstanding. However, a significant portion of those shares outstanding are typically held by large institutional investors and company insiders. On a standard day in the market, big institutions and company executives aren’t trading millions of dollars of stock.\nEveryone familiar with the basics of a free market knows that price is typically determined by market supply and demand. In the stock market, the number of shares of stock is the supply side of the equation. If company insiders and institutions aren’t selling, their shares aren’t available to contribute to the available market supply.\nA company’s “float” represents the total shares not held by company insiders or institutions. In a practical sense, it represents the effective supply of shares available to trade freely on the market.\nA short squeeze is triggered in part when there is not enough supply of shares to meet demand. That dynamic sends a stock’s share price soaring. And that soaring share price triggers short sellers to cover their positions by buying stock. The more short sellers cover, the bigger the losses remaining short sellers endure.\nAt some point, the positive feedback loop hits the point of no return and the stock takes off to the moon.\nShort percent of float is calculated by taking the total short interest and dividing by the total float. It’s a crude estimate of just how explosive a short squeeze could be if all the short sellers are forced to cover all at once.\nTSLA Stock vs. GameStop\nAccording toOrtex Analytics, TSLA stock recently had a total short interest of about 32.36 million shares. At a share price of about $645, short sellers were betting $20.87 billion against TSLA stock.\nGameStop recently had about 8 million shares held short, according to Ortex. At a share price of $169, that means GameStop’s total short interest was about $1.35 billion.\nSo how is it that GME stock experienced the mother of all short squeezes back in January? Meanwhile, TSLA stock is down 4.7% year-to-date.\nGameStop’s short percent of float recently was about 13.3%. Any number over 10% is relatively high, but it’s nothing crazy for a company like GameStop that is struggling so badly. Tesla’s short percent of float is currently just 4.1%, which is certainly nothing extraordinary.\nBack on Jan. 15, GameStop’s short percent of float was an eye-popping 107.7%. That extremely high short interest coupled with the flood of Reddit traders buying the stock is the reason GME stock skyrocketed from under $20 to as high as $483 in just a couple of weeks. It was a classic short squeeze.\nSince that time, GameStop’s short interest and short percent of float plummeted. It’s no coincidence the stock has dropped back below $165 as well.\nWhat Does This Mean for Tesla?\nYes, short sellers are betting $20.87 billion against Tesla, which is a massive amount of money. But Tesla is a $620 billion company with a huge float. It’s highly unlikely there will ever be the type of supply shortage in TSLA stock that triggered the AMC and GameStop short squeezes earlier this year.\nTSLA stock is not a great short squeeze candidate. Tesla is a story stock. It trades higher or lower based on the story that CEO Elon Musk and other Tesla enthusiasts spread about the company’s potential to completely take over the global auto, energy, technology and transportation industries in the long-term.\nWhen chapters get added to the story, the stock goes higher. Musk is an excellent storyteller, and he has legions of followers willing to listen to anything he says.\nByalmost everyobjective fundamental valuation metric, TSLA stock is extremely overvalued. But I have always said story stocks are too dangerous to go long or short. I continue to recommend investors simply stay away from TSLA stock all together.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":97,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":810128344,"gmtCreate":1629954174288,"gmtModify":1631891460345,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Both have their valid points.

Story can drive price in the short run but stocks almost always return back to their fundamental value in the long run,” Dick said.</p>\n<p>The type of disconnect between share price and underlying value that AMC and GameStop have experienced in 2021 is certainly nothing new. Canadian cannabis stock&nbsp;<b>Tilray Inc</b>(NASDAQ:TLRY) experienced a similar disconnect back in 2018 when a retail stock mania sent the stock skyrocketing up to $300. Today, Tilray is trading back down at around $13.90.</p>\n<p>“As the stock price begins to fall, momentum traders who have been chasing the hot story will begin to exit. But if the stock trades at an extreme valuation, there may be very few traders willing to buy. This is what we are starting to see in many meme stocks today,” Dick said.</p>\n<p><b>Benzinga's Take:</b>If the story begins to get hot again, the stock prices of overvalued story stocks can always recover once again. But without any underlying fundamentals to support the valuation, these types of stocks need a constant stream of new buyers and an increasingly bullish story to generate fresh enthusiasm.</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","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>'Bad Omen' For Meme Stocks And The Retail Trading Boom?

In fact, Google search volume is now back down to where it was before the pandemic started in early 2020.\nIn addition, search volumes are now down 75% from their peak levels during the initial short squeezes in AMC and GameStop back in January 2021.\nColas said meme stocks like AMC need new retail stock traders to join in the buying to support their stock prices else they could be headed for more volatility like they have experienced this week.\n“Bubbles need fresh money, or they deflate. Quickly,” Colas wrote. “Every craze needs new adherents (i.e., not just the same crowd) to keep it relevant, and the Google chart shows those are in increasingly short supply.”\nPMP Weighs In:Benzinga PreMarket Prep co-host Dennis Dick said a good story can carry a stock a long way, and some stocks can even become so hot that they become temporarily disconnected from the company’s underlying fundamentals.\n“We have seen that in a number of meme stocks this year. Story can drive price in the short run but stocks almost always return back to their fundamental value in the long run,” Dick said.\nThe type of disconnect between share price and underlying value that AMC and GameStop have experienced in 2021 is certainly nothing new. Canadian cannabis stock Tilray Inc(NASDAQ:TLRY) experienced a similar disconnect back in 2018 when a retail stock mania sent the stock skyrocketing up to $300. Today, Tilray is trading back down at around $13.90.\n“As the stock price begins to fall, momentum traders who have been chasing the hot story will begin to exit. But if the stock trades at an extreme valuation, there may be very few traders willing to buy. This is what we are starting to see in many meme stocks today,” Dick said.\nBenzinga's Take:If the story begins to get hot again, the stock prices of overvalued story stocks can always recover once again. But without any underlying fundamentals to support the valuation, these types of stocks need a constant stream of new buyers and an increasingly bullish story to generate fresh enthusiasm.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897905760,"gmtCreate":1628866108650,"gmtModify":1631883894725,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Engaging with public is one of the smartest move.

We believe Nvidia can surpass Apple by capitalizing on the artificial intelligence economy, which will add&nbsp;an estimated $15 trillion&nbsp;to GDP. This is compared to the mobile economy that brought us the majority of the gains in Apple, Google&nbsp;and Facebook(NASDAQ:FB), and&nbsp;contributes $4.4 trillion&nbsp;to GDP. For comparison purposes, AI contributes $2 trillion to GDP as of 2018.</p>\n<p>While mobile was primarily consumer, and some enterprise with bring-your-own-device, artificial intelligence will touch every aspect of both industry and commerce, including consumer, enterprise, and small-to-medium sized businesses, and will do so by disrupting every vertical similar to cloud. To be more specific, AI will be similar to cloud by blazing a path that is defined by lowering costs and increasing productivity.</p>\n<p>I have a strong record on Nvidia including when I stated the sell-off in 2018 was overblown and missing the bigger picture as&nbsp;Nvidia has two impenetrable moats: Developer adoption and the GPU-powered cloud. This was when headlines were focused exclusively on Nvidia’s gaming segment and GPU sales for crypto mining.</p>\n<p>Although Nvidia’s stock is doing very well this year, this has been a fairly contrarian stance in the past. Not only was Nvidia wearing the dunce hat in 2018, but in August of 2019, the GPU data center revenue&nbsp;was flat to declining sequentially for three quarters, and in fiscal Q3 2020, also declined YoY (calendar Q4 2019). We established and defended our thesis on the data center as Nvidia clawed its way back in price through China tensions, supply shortages, threats of custom silicon from big tech, cyclical capex spending, and on whether the Arm acquisition will be approved.</p>\n<p>Suffice to say, three years later and Nvidia is no longer a contrarian stock as it once was during the crypto bust. Yet, the long-term durability is still being debated - it’s a semiconductor company after all - best to stick with software, right?<i>Right</i>? Not to mention, some institutions are still holding out for Intel. Imagine being the tech analyst at those funds (if they’re still employed!).</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Nvidia is already the universal platform for development, but this won’t become obvious until innovation in artificial intelligence matures. Developers are programming the future of artificial intelligence applications on Nvidia because GPUs are easier and more flexible than customized TPU chips from Google or FGPA chips used by Microsoft (from Xilinx). Meanwhile, Intel’s CPU chips will struggle to compete as artificial intelligence applications and machine learning inferencing move to the cloud. Intel is trying to catch-up but Nvidia continues to release more powerful GPUs – and cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google cannot risk losing the competitive advantage that comes with Nvidia’s technology.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n <i>The Turing T4 GPU from Nvidia should start to show up in earnings soon, and the real-time ray-tracing RTX chips will keep gaming revenue strong when there is more adoption in 6-12 months. Nvidia is a company that has reported big earnings beats, with average upside potential of 33.35 percent to estimates in the last four quarters. Data center revenue stands at 24% and is rapidly growing.</i>\n <b><i>When artificial intelligence matures, you can expect data center revenue to be Nvidia’s top revenue segment</i></b>\n <i>. Despite the corrections we’ve seen in the technology sector, and with Nvidia stock specifically, investors who remain patient will have a sizeable return in the future.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Notably, the stock is up 335% since my thesis was first published – a notable amount for a mega-cap stock and nearly 2-3X more returns than any FAAMG in the same period. This is important because I expect this trend to continue until Nvidia has surpassed all FAAMG valuations.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1749a1f035c6b5cdb28479d89f9a9382\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"464\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Below, we discuss the Ampere architecture and A100 GPUs, the Enterprise AI Suite and an update on the Arm acquisition. These are some of the near-term stepping stones that will help sustain Nvidia’s price in the coming year. We are also bullish on the Metaverse with Nvidia specifically but will leave that for a separate analysis in the coming month.</p>\n<p>Nvidia Not Standing Still with Ampere Architecture and A100 GPU</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“Nvidia’s acceleration may happen one or two years earlier as they are the core piece in the stack that is required for the computing power for the front-runners referenced in the graph above. There is a chance Nvidia reflects data center growth as soon as 2020-2021.”</i>-published August 2019,Source\n</blockquote>\n<p>Last year, Nvidia released the Ampere architecture and A100 GPU as an upgrade from the Volta architecture. The A100 GPUs are able to unify training and inference on a single chip, whereas in the past Nvidia’s GPUs were mainly used for training. This allows Nvidia a competitive advantage by offering both training and inferencing. The result is a 20x performance boost from a multi-instance GPU that allows many GPUs to look like one GPU. The A100 offers the largest leap in performance to date over the past eight generations.</p>\n<p>At the onset, the A100 was deployed by the world’s leading cloud service providers and system builders, including Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Baidu Cloud, Dell Technologies, Google Cloud Platform, HPE and Microsoft Azure, among others. It's also getting adopted by several supercomputing centers, including the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany and Argonne National Laboratory.</p>\n<p>One year later and the Ampere architecture is becoming one of the best-selling GPU architectures in the company’s history. This quarter, Microsoft Azure recently&nbsp;announced&nbsp;the availability of Azure ND A100 v4 Cloud GPU which is powered by Nvidia A100 Tensor Core GPUs. The company claims it to be the fastest public cloud supercomputer. The news follows the launch by Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud general availability in prior quarters. The company has been&nbsp;extending&nbsp;its leadership in supercomputing. The latest top 500 list shows that Nvidia power 342 of the world’s top 500 supercomputers, including 70 percent of all new systems and eight of the top 10. This is a remarkable update from the company.</p>\n<p>Ampere architecture-powered laptop&nbsp;demand&nbsp;has also been solid as OEM’s adopted Ampere Architecture GPUs in a record number of designs. It also features the third-generation Max-Q power optimization technology enabling ultrathin designs. The Ampere architecture product cycle for gaming has also been robust, driven by RTX’s real-time ray tracing.</p>\n<p>In the area of GPU acceleration, Nvidia is&nbsp;working with Apache Spark&nbsp;to release Spark 3.0 run on Databricks. Apache Spark is the industry’s largest open source data analytics platform. The results are a 7x performance improvement and 90 percent cost savings in an initial test. Databricks and Google Cloud Dataproc are the first to offer Spark with GPU acceleration, which also opens up Nvidia for data analytics.</p>\n<p>The demand has been strong for the company’s products which have exceeded supply. In the&nbsp;earnings call, Jensen Huang&nbsp;<i>mentioned:</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“And so I would expect that we will see a supply-constrained environment for the vast majority of next year is my guess at the moment.”</i>However, he assured that they have secured enough supplies to meet the growth plans for the second half of this year when he said,\n <i>“We expect to be able to achieve our Company's growth plans for next year.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Virtual Machines for AI Workloads</b></p>\n<p>Virtualization allows companies to use software to expand the capabilities of physical servers onto a virtual system. VMWare is popular with IT departments as the platform allows companies to run many virtual machines on one server and networks can be virtualized to allow applications to function independently from hardware or to share data between computers. The storage, network and compute offered through full-scale virtual machines and Kubernetes instances for cloud-hosted applications comes with third-party support, making VMWare an unbeatable solution for enterprises.</p>\n<p>Therefore, it makes sense Nvidia would choose VMWare’s vSphere as a partner on the Enterprise AI Suite, which is a cloud-native suite that plugs into VMWare’s existing footprint to help scale AI applications and workloads. As pointed out by the&nbsp;write-up by IDC, many IT organizations struggle to support AI workloads as they do not scale as deep learning training and AI inferencing is very data hungry and requires more memory bandwidth than what standard infrastructures are capable of. CPUs are also not as efficient as GPUs, which have parallel processing. Although developers and data scientists can leverage the public cloud for the more performance-demanding instances, there are latency issues with where the data repositories are stored (typically on-premise).</p>\n<p>The result is that IT organizations and developers can deploy virtual machines with accelerated AI computing where previously this was only done with bare metal servers. This allows for departments to scale and pay only for workloads that are accelerated with Nvidia capitalizing on licensing and support costs. Nvidia’s AI Enterprise targets customers who are starting out with new enterprise applications or deploying more enterprise applications and require a GPU. As enterprise customers of the Enterprise AI Suite mature and require larger training workloads, it’s likely they will upgrade to the GPU-powered cloud.</p>\n<p>Subscription licenses start at $2,000 per CPU socket for one year and it includes standard business support five days a week. The software also will be supported with a perpetual license of $3,595, but support is extra. You also have the option to have to get 24x7 support with additional charges.According&nbsp;to IDC, companies are on track to spend a combined nearly $342 billion on AI software, hardware, and services like AI Enterprise in 2021. So, the market is huge and Nvidia is expecting a significant business.</p>\n<p>Nvidia also announced Base Command, which is a development hub to move AI projects from prototype to production. Fleet Command is a managed edge AI software SaaS offering that allows companies to deploy AI applications from a central location with real-time processing at the edge. Companies&nbsp;like Everseen&nbsp;use these products to help retailers manage inventory and for supply chain automation.</p>\n<p><b>Fiscal Q2 Earnings and More on the Arm Acquisition:</b></p>\n<p>Over the past year, there have been some quarters where data center revenue&nbsp;exceeded gaming, while in the most recent quarter, the two segments are inching closer with gaming revenue at $3.06 billion, up 85 percent year-over-year, and data center revenue at $2.37 billion, up 35 percent year-over-year.</p>\n<p>It was good timing for Jensen Huang to appear in a fully rendered kitchen for the GTC keynote as the professional visualization segment was up 156% year-over-year and 40% quarter-over-quarter. Not surprisingly, automotive was down 1% sequentially although up 37% year-over-year.</p>\n<p>Gross margins were 64.8% when compared to 58.8% for the same period last year, which per management “reflected the absence of certain Mellanox acquisition-related costs.” Adjusted gross margins were 66.7%, up 70 basis points, and net income increased 282% YoY to $2.4 billion or $0.94 per share compared to $0.25 for the same period last year.</p>\n<p>Adjusted net income increased by 92% YoY to $2.6 billion or $1.04 per share compared to $0.55 for the same period last year.</p>\n<p>The company&nbsp;had&nbsp;a record cash flow from operation of $2.7 billion and ended the quarter with cash and marketable securities of $19.7 billion and $12 billion in debt. It returned $100 million to the shareholders in the form of dividends. It also completed the announced four-for-one split of its common stock.</p>\n<p>The company is guiding for third quarter fiscal revenue of $6.8 billion with adjusted margins of 67%. This represents growth of 44% and with the “lion’s share” of sequential growth driven by the data center.</p>\n<p>We’ve covered the Arm acquisition extensively with in a full-length analysis you can find here on Why the&nbsp;Nvidia-Arm acquisition Should Be Approved. In the analysis, we point toward why we are positive on the deal, as despite Arm’s extremely valuable IP, the company makes very little revenue for powering 90% of the world’s mobile processors/smartphones (therefore, it needs to be a strategic target). We also argue that the idea of Arm being neutral in a competitive industry is idealistic, and to block innovation at its most crucial point would be counterproductive for the governments reviewing the deal. We also discuss how the Arm acquisition will help facilitate Nvidia’s move towards edge devices.</p>\n<p>In the recent&nbsp;earnings call, CFO Colette Kress reiterated that the Arm deal is a positive for both the companies and its customers as Nvidia can help expand Arm’s IP into new markets like the Data Center and IoT. Specifically, the CFO stated, “We are confident in the deal and that regulators should recognize the benefits of the acquisition to Arm, its licensees, and the industry.”</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion:</b></p>\n<p>The conclusion to my analysis is the same as the introduction, which is that I believe Nvidia is capable of out-performing all five FAAMG stocks and will surpass even Apple’s valuation in the next five years.</p>","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>Here's Why Nvidia Will Surpass Apple's Valuation In 5 Years</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\">\nHere's Why Nvidia Will Surpass Apple's Valuation In 5 Years\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-11 08:27 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4454306-heres-why-nvidia-will-surpass-apples-valuation-in-5-years><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nWe believe Nvidia can surpass Apple by capitalizing on the artificial intelligence economy, which will add an estimated $15 trillion to GDP.\nLast year, Nvidia released the Ampere architecture...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4454306-heres-why-nvidia-will-surpass-apples-valuation-in-5-years\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果","NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4454306-heres-why-nvidia-will-surpass-apples-valuation-in-5-years","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1170700790","content_text":"Summary\n\nWe believe Nvidia can surpass Apple by capitalizing on the artificial intelligence economy, which will add an estimated $15 trillion to GDP.\nLast year, Nvidia released the Ampere architecture and A100 GPU as an upgrade from the Volta architecture.\nNvidia's gaming and data center segments are inching closer with gaming revenue at $3.06 billion, up 85 percent year-over-year, and data center revenue at $2.37 billion, up 35 percent year-over-year.\n\ngorodenkoff/iStock via Getty Images\nNvidia has a market cap of roughly $550 billion compared to Apple’s nearly $2.5 trillion. We believe Nvidia can surpass Apple by capitalizing on the artificial intelligence economy, which will add an estimated $15 trillion to GDP. This is compared to the mobile economy that brought us the majority of the gains in Apple, Google and Facebook(NASDAQ:FB), and contributes $4.4 trillion to GDP. For comparison purposes, AI contributes $2 trillion to GDP as of 2018.\nWhile mobile was primarily consumer, and some enterprise with bring-your-own-device, artificial intelligence will touch every aspect of both industry and commerce, including consumer, enterprise, and small-to-medium sized businesses, and will do so by disrupting every vertical similar to cloud. To be more specific, AI will be similar to cloud by blazing a path that is defined by lowering costs and increasing productivity.\nI have a strong record on Nvidia including when I stated the sell-off in 2018 was overblown and missing the bigger picture as Nvidia has two impenetrable moats: Developer adoption and the GPU-powered cloud. This was when headlines were focused exclusively on Nvidia’s gaming segment and GPU sales for crypto mining.\nAlthough Nvidia’s stock is doing very well this year, this has been a fairly contrarian stance in the past. Not only was Nvidia wearing the dunce hat in 2018, but in August of 2019, the GPU data center revenue was flat to declining sequentially for three quarters, and in fiscal Q3 2020, also declined YoY (calendar Q4 2019). We established and defended our thesis on the data center as Nvidia clawed its way back in price through China tensions, supply shortages, threats of custom silicon from big tech, cyclical capex spending, and on whether the Arm acquisition will be approved.\nSuffice to say, three years later and Nvidia is no longer a contrarian stock as it once was during the crypto bust. Yet, the long-term durability is still being debated - it’s a semiconductor company after all - best to stick with software, right?Right? Not to mention, some institutions are still holding out for Intel. Imagine being the tech analyst at those funds (if they’re still employed!).\n\nNvidia is already the universal platform for development, but this won’t become obvious until innovation in artificial intelligence matures. Developers are programming the future of artificial intelligence applications on Nvidia because GPUs are easier and more flexible than customized TPU chips from Google or FGPA chips used by Microsoft (from Xilinx). Meanwhile, Intel’s CPU chips will struggle to compete as artificial intelligence applications and machine learning inferencing move to the cloud. Intel is trying to catch-up but Nvidia continues to release more powerful GPUs – and cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google cannot risk losing the competitive advantage that comes with Nvidia’s technology.\n\n\nThe Turing T4 GPU from Nvidia should start to show up in earnings soon, and the real-time ray-tracing RTX chips will keep gaming revenue strong when there is more adoption in 6-12 months. Nvidia is a company that has reported big earnings beats, with average upside potential of 33.35 percent to estimates in the last four quarters. Data center revenue stands at 24% and is rapidly growing.\nWhen artificial intelligence matures, you can expect data center revenue to be Nvidia’s top revenue segment\n. Despite the corrections we’ve seen in the technology sector, and with Nvidia stock specifically, investors who remain patient will have a sizeable return in the future.”\n\nNotably, the stock is up 335% since my thesis was first published – a notable amount for a mega-cap stock and nearly 2-3X more returns than any FAAMG in the same period. This is important because I expect this trend to continue until Nvidia has surpassed all FAAMG valuations.\n\nBelow, we discuss the Ampere architecture and A100 GPUs, the Enterprise AI Suite and an update on the Arm acquisition. These are some of the near-term stepping stones that will help sustain Nvidia’s price in the coming year. We are also bullish on the Metaverse with Nvidia specifically but will leave that for a separate analysis in the coming month.\nNvidia Not Standing Still with Ampere Architecture and A100 GPU\n\n“Nvidia’s acceleration may happen one or two years earlier as they are the core piece in the stack that is required for the computing power for the front-runners referenced in the graph above. There is a chance Nvidia reflects data center growth as soon as 2020-2021.”-published August 2019,Source\n\nLast year, Nvidia released the Ampere architecture and A100 GPU as an upgrade from the Volta architecture. The A100 GPUs are able to unify training and inference on a single chip, whereas in the past Nvidia’s GPUs were mainly used for training. This allows Nvidia a competitive advantage by offering both training and inferencing. The result is a 20x performance boost from a multi-instance GPU that allows many GPUs to look like one GPU. The A100 offers the largest leap in performance to date over the past eight generations.\nAt the onset, the A100 was deployed by the world’s leading cloud service providers and system builders, including Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Baidu Cloud, Dell Technologies, Google Cloud Platform, HPE and Microsoft Azure, among others. It's also getting adopted by several supercomputing centers, including the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany and Argonne National Laboratory.\nOne year later and the Ampere architecture is becoming one of the best-selling GPU architectures in the company’s history. This quarter, Microsoft Azure recently announced the availability of Azure ND A100 v4 Cloud GPU which is powered by Nvidia A100 Tensor Core GPUs. The company claims it to be the fastest public cloud supercomputer. The news follows the launch by Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud general availability in prior quarters. The company has been extending its leadership in supercomputing. The latest top 500 list shows that Nvidia power 342 of the world’s top 500 supercomputers, including 70 percent of all new systems and eight of the top 10. This is a remarkable update from the company.\nAmpere architecture-powered laptop demand has also been solid as OEM’s adopted Ampere Architecture GPUs in a record number of designs. It also features the third-generation Max-Q power optimization technology enabling ultrathin designs. The Ampere architecture product cycle for gaming has also been robust, driven by RTX’s real-time ray tracing.\nIn the area of GPU acceleration, Nvidia is working with Apache Spark to release Spark 3.0 run on Databricks. Apache Spark is the industry’s largest open source data analytics platform. The results are a 7x performance improvement and 90 percent cost savings in an initial test. Databricks and Google Cloud Dataproc are the first to offer Spark with GPU acceleration, which also opens up Nvidia for data analytics.\nThe demand has been strong for the company’s products which have exceeded supply. In the earnings call, Jensen Huang mentioned:\n\n“And so I would expect that we will see a supply-constrained environment for the vast majority of next year is my guess at the moment.”However, he assured that they have secured enough supplies to meet the growth plans for the second half of this year when he said,\n “We expect to be able to achieve our Company's growth plans for next year.”\n\nVirtual Machines for AI Workloads\nVirtualization allows companies to use software to expand the capabilities of physical servers onto a virtual system. VMWare is popular with IT departments as the platform allows companies to run many virtual machines on one server and networks can be virtualized to allow applications to function independently from hardware or to share data between computers. The storage, network and compute offered through full-scale virtual machines and Kubernetes instances for cloud-hosted applications comes with third-party support, making VMWare an unbeatable solution for enterprises.\nTherefore, it makes sense Nvidia would choose VMWare’s vSphere as a partner on the Enterprise AI Suite, which is a cloud-native suite that plugs into VMWare’s existing footprint to help scale AI applications and workloads. As pointed out by the write-up by IDC, many IT organizations struggle to support AI workloads as they do not scale as deep learning training and AI inferencing is very data hungry and requires more memory bandwidth than what standard infrastructures are capable of. CPUs are also not as efficient as GPUs, which have parallel processing. Although developers and data scientists can leverage the public cloud for the more performance-demanding instances, there are latency issues with where the data repositories are stored (typically on-premise).\nThe result is that IT organizations and developers can deploy virtual machines with accelerated AI computing where previously this was only done with bare metal servers. This allows for departments to scale and pay only for workloads that are accelerated with Nvidia capitalizing on licensing and support costs. Nvidia’s AI Enterprise targets customers who are starting out with new enterprise applications or deploying more enterprise applications and require a GPU. As enterprise customers of the Enterprise AI Suite mature and require larger training workloads, it’s likely they will upgrade to the GPU-powered cloud.\nSubscription licenses start at $2,000 per CPU socket for one year and it includes standard business support five days a week. The software also will be supported with a perpetual license of $3,595, but support is extra. You also have the option to have to get 24x7 support with additional charges.According to IDC, companies are on track to spend a combined nearly $342 billion on AI software, hardware, and services like AI Enterprise in 2021. So, the market is huge and Nvidia is expecting a significant business.\nNvidia also announced Base Command, which is a development hub to move AI projects from prototype to production. Fleet Command is a managed edge AI software SaaS offering that allows companies to deploy AI applications from a central location with real-time processing at the edge. Companies like Everseen use these products to help retailers manage inventory and for supply chain automation.\nFiscal Q2 Earnings and More on the Arm Acquisition:\nOver the past year, there have been some quarters where data center revenue exceeded gaming, while in the most recent quarter, the two segments are inching closer with gaming revenue at $3.06 billion, up 85 percent year-over-year, and data center revenue at $2.37 billion, up 35 percent year-over-year.\nIt was good timing for Jensen Huang to appear in a fully rendered kitchen for the GTC keynote as the professional visualization segment was up 156% year-over-year and 40% quarter-over-quarter. Not surprisingly, automotive was down 1% sequentially although up 37% year-over-year.\nGross margins were 64.8% when compared to 58.8% for the same period last year, which per management “reflected the absence of certain Mellanox acquisition-related costs.” Adjusted gross margins were 66.7%, up 70 basis points, and net income increased 282% YoY to $2.4 billion or $0.94 per share compared to $0.25 for the same period last year.\nAdjusted net income increased by 92% YoY to $2.6 billion or $1.04 per share compared to $0.55 for the same period last year.\nThe company had a record cash flow from operation of $2.7 billion and ended the quarter with cash and marketable securities of $19.7 billion and $12 billion in debt. It returned $100 million to the shareholders in the form of dividends. It also completed the announced four-for-one split of its common stock.\nThe company is guiding for third quarter fiscal revenue of $6.8 billion with adjusted margins of 67%. This represents growth of 44% and with the “lion’s share” of sequential growth driven by the data center.\nWe’ve covered the Arm acquisition extensively with in a full-length analysis you can find here on Why the Nvidia-Arm acquisition Should Be Approved. In the analysis, we point toward why we are positive on the deal, as despite Arm’s extremely valuable IP, the company makes very little revenue for powering 90% of the world’s mobile processors/smartphones (therefore, it needs to be a strategic target). We also argue that the idea of Arm being neutral in a competitive industry is idealistic, and to block innovation at its most crucial point would be counterproductive for the governments reviewing the deal. We also discuss how the Arm acquisition will help facilitate Nvidia’s move towards edge devices.\nIn the recent earnings call, CFO Colette Kress reiterated that the Arm deal is a positive for both the companies and its customers as Nvidia can help expand Arm’s IP into new markets like the Data Center and IoT. Specifically, the CFO stated, “We are confident in the deal and that regulators should recognize the benefits of the acquisition to Arm, its licensees, and the industry.”\nConclusion:\nThe conclusion to my analysis is the same as the introduction, which is that I believe Nvidia is capable of out-performing all five FAAMG stocks and will surpass even Apple’s valuation in the next five years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":133,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":814374704,"gmtCreate":1630774223808,"gmtModify":1631891460323,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice article.

I think it’s very dangerous to hold today.”\nTice isn’t convinced that equity markets will hold up either and stated that he thinks a “market meltdown is unavoidable.”\nIn his view, Big Tech stocks like Facebook Inc ,Apple Inc ,Amazon.com Inc,Netflix Inc, and Alphabet Inc are overvalued.\n“A lot of money has been thrown at Alphabet and Microsoft, Apple and Facebook, Twitter, etc.,” he said. “Costs are going up in that sector.”\nWhy It Matters:Tice is not the only fund manager to present his bearish outlook on crypto markets this month.\nLast week, famous gold bull Jeffrey Gundlach toldCNBCthat the Bitcoin chart “looks pretty scary here.”\nHowever, Gundlach noted that a buying opportunity under $23,000 could present itself to those who weren’t phased by the cryptocurrency’s extreme volatility.\nPrice Action:At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $31,300, down 1.42% over the past 24-hours.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":272,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168638242,"gmtCreate":1623973549586,"gmtModify":1634025081248,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!

Battery chemistries outside of China have been predominantly nickel-based -- specifically nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA).

For one, they’re not dependent on ultra-scarce and price-volatile raw materials like cobalt and nickel. (Cobalt, which is predominantly sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo, has undergone additional scrutiny due to inhumane mining conditions.) And while they are less energy-dense than nickel-based chemistries, LFP batteries are much cheaper. This is good news for those looking to spur the shift to electric vehicles because lowering the cost per vehicle will likely be key to greater EV adoption.</p>\n<p>Musk clearly sees a major future for iron-based chemistries at Tesla, and his comments have helped thrust LFP back into the spotlight. But there's one place where they've remained the star of the show: China.</p>\n<p>China’s monopoly on LFP</p>\n<p>“LFP is pretty much only produced in China,” Caspar Rawles, head of price and data assessments at the research firm Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, explained in a recent interview with TechCrunch.</p>\n<p>China’s dominance in LFP battery production in part relates to a series of key LFP patents, which are managed by a consortium of universities and research institutions. This consortium came to an agreement with Chinese battery makers a decade ago under which the manufacturers would not be charged a licensing fee providing that the LFP batteries were used only in Chinese markets.</p>\n<p>Hence, China cornered the LFP market.</p>\n<p>Battery makers in China may benefit most from a potential tectonic shift toward LFP -- specifically BYD and CATL, the latter of which already manufactures LFP batteries for Tesla vehicles built and sold in China. (Volkswagen, meanwhile, has a substantial stake in Chinese LFP maker Gotion High-Tech.) These battery makers aren’t slowing down: In January, CATL and Shenzhen Dynanonic signed an agreement with a local Chinese province to build an LFP cathode plant at a cost of $280 million over three years.</p>\n<p>The LFP patents are due to expire in 2022, industry analystRoskill explains, which could give battery manufacturers outside China time to start shifting some of their production toward iron-based formulas. However, all of the planned battery factories in Europe and North America, many of which are joint ventures with South Korean industry giants like LG Chem or SK Innovation, are still focused on nickel-based chemistries.</p>\n<p>“For the U.S. to take advantage of LFP's strengths, North American manufacturing will be necessary,” Jaffe explained. “Everyone building a gigafactory in the U.S. today is planning on making high nickel chemistries. There's an enormous unmet need for locally manufactured LFP batteries.”</p>\n<p>Rawles said he expects some LFP capacity in North America and Europe in the coming years, particularly after the patents expire. He pointed out that both CATL and SVOLT, another battery maker, have been making moves in Germany -- but both of these companies are Chinese, which leaves open the question of whether other Asian or Western companies can compete in the LFP market. (Stellantis chose SVOLT as one of its battery suppliers from 2025 onwards.)</p>\n<p>On the energy storage front, Jaffe said he thinks “it's inevitable that most stationary storage systems will eventually be LFP.”</p>\n<p>However, not all is lost for domestic manufacturing in the United States. “The good news for building local LFP manufacturing is that the supply chain is simple: Outside of lithium, it's iron and phosphoric acid, two cheap materials already made [in the U.S.] in large quantities,” Jaffe added.</p>\n<p>In the end, it is not a question of one battery chemistry versus another. What’s more likely is what we’ve already started to see from automakers, including Tesla: Iron-based batteries will be used predominately in entry-level and cheaper vehicles, while nickel-based cells will be used for higher-end and performance cars. Many consumers will likely be content with a 200- to 250-mile-range vehicle that's thousands of dollars cheaper than one with a range of 300 to 350 miles.</p>\n<p>Automakers have also begun making moves to take control of the battery supply, whether through vertical manufacturing or joint ventures with established battery companies.

The iPhone maker’s privacy changes make it harder for apps to track users and restrict advertisers from accessing valuable data for targeting ads.</p>\n<p>The company also announced on Wednesday that it would require anyone working at its U.S. offices to be vaccinated against COVID-19, joining Alphabet Inc and Netflix.</p>\n<p>Monthly active users came in at 2.90 billion, up 7% from the same period last year but missing analyst expectations of 2.92 billion and marking the slowest growth rate in at least three years, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.</p>\n<p>“The user growth slowdown is notable and highlights the engagement challenges as the world opens up. But importantly, Facebook is the most exposed to Apple’s privacy changes, and it looks like it is starting to have an impact to the outlook beginning in 3Q,” said Ygal Arounian, an analyst at Wedbush Securities.</p>\n<p>Brian Wieser, GroupM’s global president of business intelligence, said all social media companies would see slower growth in the second half of the year and that it would take more concrete warnings about activity in June and July for anyone to anticipate a “meaningful deceleration.”</p>\n<p>Facebook’s total revenue, which primarily consists of ad sales, rose about 56% to $29.08 billion in the second quarter from $18.69 billion a year earlier, beating analysts’ estimates, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.</p>\n<p>Its revenue from advertising rose 56% to $28.58 billion in the second quarter ended June 30, Facebook said. It pointed to a 47% increase in price per ad.</p>\n<p>“In the third and fourth quarters of 2021, we expect year-over-year total revenue growth rates to decelerate significantly on a sequential basis as we lap periods of increasingly strong growth,” Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said in the earnings release.</p>\n<p>Net income in the second quarter more than doubled to $10.4 billion, or $3.61 per share. Analysts had expected a profit of $3.03 per share.</p>\n<p>The world’s largest social network has been ramping up its ecommerce efforts, which are expected to bring additional revenue to the company and make its ad inventory more valuable. The push will be key to how Facebook, which hosts more than 1 million online “Shops” on its main app and Instagram, can grow its ad business amid the impact of Apple’s changes.</p>\n<p>It is also on the offensive to attract top social media personalities and their fans, competing with Alphabet’s YouTube and short-video app TikTok, which recently hit 3 billion global downloads. Facebook said this month it would invest more than $1 billion to support content creators through the end of 2022.</p>\n<p>On a conference call with analysts, CEO Mark Zuckerberg also focused on another ambition for the company: the “metaverse.”</p>\n<p>Zuckerberg this week announced that Facebook, which has invested heavily in virtual reality and augmented reality, was setting up a team to work on building a shared digital world, which he is betting will be the successor to the mobile internet.

The iPhone maker’s privacy changes make it harder for apps to track users and restrict advertisers from accessing valuable data for targeting ads.\nThe company also announced on Wednesday that it would require anyone working at its U.S. offices to be vaccinated against COVID-19, joining Alphabet Inc and Netflix.\nMonthly active users came in at 2.90 billion, up 7% from the same period last year but missing analyst expectations of 2.92 billion and marking the slowest growth rate in at least three years, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.\n“The user growth slowdown is notable and highlights the engagement challenges as the world opens up. But importantly, Facebook is the most exposed to Apple’s privacy changes, and it looks like it is starting to have an impact to the outlook beginning in 3Q,” said Ygal Arounian, an analyst at Wedbush Securities.\nBrian Wieser, GroupM’s global president of business intelligence, said all social media companies would see slower growth in the second half of the year and that it would take more concrete warnings about activity in June and July for anyone to anticipate a “meaningful deceleration.”\nFacebook’s total revenue, which primarily consists of ad sales, rose about 56% to $29.08 billion in the second quarter from $18.69 billion a year earlier, beating analysts’ estimates, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.\nIts revenue from advertising rose 56% to $28.58 billion in the second quarter ended June 30, Facebook said. It pointed to a 47% increase in price per ad.\n“In the third and fourth quarters of 2021, we expect year-over-year total revenue growth rates to decelerate significantly on a sequential basis as we lap periods of increasingly strong growth,” Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said in the earnings release.\nNet income in the second quarter more than doubled to $10.4 billion, or $3.61 per share. Analysts had expected a profit of $3.03 per share.\nThe world’s largest social network has been ramping up its ecommerce efforts, which are expected to bring additional revenue to the company and make its ad inventory more valuable. The push will be key to how Facebook, which hosts more than 1 million online “Shops” on its main app and Instagram, can grow its ad business amid the impact of Apple’s changes.\nIt is also on the offensive to attract top social media personalities and their fans, competing with Alphabet’s YouTube and short-video app TikTok, which recently hit 3 billion global downloads. Facebook said this month it would invest more than $1 billion to support content creators through the end of 2022.\nOn a conference call with analysts, CEO Mark Zuckerberg also focused on another ambition for the company: the “metaverse.”\nZuckerberg this week announced that Facebook, which has invested heavily in virtual reality and augmented reality, was setting up a team to work on building a shared digital world, which he is betting will be the successor to the mobile internet. Microsoft also dropped the buzzy Silicon Valley term on its earnings call this week, talking about its own plans for the converging digital and physical worlds.\n“Facebook has its eye on a sci-fi prize,” said Sophie Lund-Yates, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. “This is little more than an ambition for Facebook at the moment...if the idea comes to fruition, it could be a valuable income source.”\nThe company also continues to face pressure from global lawmakers and regulators, including from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission which has until Aug. 19 to refile its antitrust complaint against the company and from a group of states who said on Wednesday they would appeal the judge’s dismissal of their lawsuit.

Growth stocks, on the other hand, include the major tech stocks and are considered to be companies with revenues and earnings that are expected to grow at a faster rate than the rest of the market.However, they can prove riskier and more volatile.\nThe technology-focused U.S. Nasdaq index hit fresh highs this year, but has still seen some sharp dips since the beginning of 2021. Last week, the Nasdaq fell close to 2%.\nSpeaking to “Squawk Box Europe” Friday, Kamal highlighted a key group of technology stocks that he said would be best to buy in a market dip.\nHe said the “big five” —Facebook,Apple,Amazon,Netflix and Google, also known as the FAANGs —  remained “incredible companies.” He highlighted that they had each reported strong earnings in the first quarter of 2021, despite coming from “record positions.”\nFor example, social media giant Facebook reported that its net income grew 94%to $9.5 billion in the first quarter, whileApple posted its best-ever quarterly revenueof $111.4 billion in the first three months of fiscal 2021.\n“I mean it’s incredible, these remain incredible companies, they are going to be setting the tone for markets for the foreseeable future, there’s no doubt about that,” Kamal said.\nHe acknowledged that they still looked expensive when compared to other stocks, but encouraged investors to look for an entry point in a “significant dip” to buy into these companies.\nPrice-to-earnings is one gauge as to how expensive a stock is. Amazon has a ratio of 66 and Netflix has a ratio of 62, while the average across theDowis just under 22.\nNot everyone is convinced, however. Adam Parker, founder of Trivariate Research, warned that some big tech stocks are high risk and should be treated with caution. Apple made Trivariate’s list of riskiest stocks; the research firm said it had the most negative correlation to inflation.\nKleinwort Hambros has had a “long-standing overweight” position on “growth” stocks for the last five or six years, Kamal said, particularly technology firms.\nMore recently, he said his firm had lowered its exposure to a more “neutral” position on the sector and invested more in “pro-cyclical regions.” These are investments that are expected to rise and fall with the economic cycle.\nHowever, Kamal stressed that this didn’t mean his firm had sold out of their investments in the technology space but had ” re-positioned slightly because we think that there is catch-up for the value trade still.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":112,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":893073202,"gmtCreate":1628224967106,"gmtModify":1631893922997,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Happy with the results but I am not sure if it is the right time to be in a spotlight now : |","listText":"Happy with the results but I am not sure if it is the right time to be in a spotlight now : |","text":"Happy with the results but I am not sure if it is the right time to be in a spotlight now : |","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/893073202","repostId":"1146568691","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":123528460,"gmtCreate":1624430433750,"gmtModify":1634006220427,"author":{"id":"3555537259700212","authorId":"3555537259700212","name":"KDL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555537259700212","authorIdStr":"3555537259700212"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Shorting is fine but not naked shorting.

Shorting—or betting that a stock’s price will f","content":"<p>There’s something a little weird aboutshort selling. Shorting—or betting that a stock’s price will fall—is a feature of finance that doesn’t have a close analogue in the real-world economy.</p>\n<p>Buying a stock you like isn’t much different from purchasing a product that catches your eye. But if you’re walking through the local grocery store and see an item that sets your stomach turning—say, ketchup-flavored potato chips—you don’t stand in the aisle waving off other customers, telling them how bad it is. You don’t try to crush the bag. You just think, “Who in the world eats this … ” and go on your merry way without putting it in your cart.</p>\n<p>On the stock market, you can do more than just ignore the stuff you think is lousy. You can actively hunt down weak companies or overpriced stocks and try to profit from their decline. Shorting is an old practice—Napoleon outlawed it—that’s become a taken-for-granted part of modern finance. Hedge funds couldn’t hedge without some form of shorting; it’s a kind of insurance that something in a portfolio is making money even if the market falls.</p>\n<p>And right now a lot of peoplehate it. A common thread among many of the stocks retail investors have embraced—includingGameStop Corp.andAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.—is that they’ve also been targeted by short sellers. The traders who call themselves “apes” on Twitter and Reddit discussion boards see themselves as an army at war with the short sellers from elite Wall Street.</p>\n<p>In fact, fans of these so-called meme stocks are locked into a symbiotic relationship with the shorts. Part of the reasonGameStopandAMCwere launched to the moon is that a frenzied group of traders thought they had an opportunity to make money by overpowering the short bets placed by hedge funds.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ea89c846a35a56463a5e05b4eece604\" tg-width=\"1256\" tg-height=\"570\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>To see why, you need to understand the mechanics of shorting. Take GameStop as an example. Prior to its explosive jump in price early this year, hedge funds and other traders were arrayed against the video game retailer. That wasn’t crazy: Brick-and-mortar stores were hurting even before the pandemic, and GameStop’s main product is digital and increasingly sold over the internet. To short the stock, bears could borrow some shares—typically from a large money manager—and then sell them. Later they’d have to buy back the stock to return it to the owner. But if they were right and the shares fell, they could pocket the difference between the new price and the one they sold at. (Traders may also go short using options contracts.) In January, 140% of GameStop’s free-floating shares were tied to short sales. This can happen because a single share can be borrowed, sold, and then borrowed again from the new owner.</p>\n<p>Because shorting puts a notch in the sell column for a stock, it can put pressure on its price to fall. So bulls naturally see shorts as working against them. The flip side is that the optimists can hurt the shorts—and even profit from doing so. A so-called short squeeze occurs when the price on a stock rises so much that shorts have to bail out of their trades. That means they have to buy back the shares they borrowed and sold, and their buying pushes prices even higher. The shocking upward spiral in GameStop shares in January appears to have been a squeeze. The more recent rally in the shares of cinema chain AMC could be an attempt to start one, as online influencers try to rally their troops against a common foe. Hedge funds trying to profit from the pain of an iconic business and its retail shareholders make for good villains.</p>\n<p>Wall Street pros, on the other hand, tend to regard shorts as a necessary part of the financial landscape. They see financial markets not simply as a grocery store where you can buy things you want, but as a kind of machine for discovering correct prices. Shorts add an input—without them, the only people with a reason to have an opinion about a company would be people interested in buying or current owners thinking of getting out.</p>\n<p>Shorting brings people who may be even harsher skeptics into the conversation. They don’t own the shares and don’t want to, but they still can signal that the stock’s overpriced—or that something isn’t quite right. They may even publicize their case against a stock and push its price down. “Short selling is generally a very positive thing for the market,” says Larry Tabb, head of market structure research at Bloomberg Intelligence. “It rewards people to provide information on what companies are saying and doing.”</p>\n<p>Consider the case of&nbsp;Lordstown Motors Corp.and Hindenburg Research, which publishes online reports on stocks it might be shorting.

Shorting—or betting that a stock’s price will fall—is a feature of finance that doesn’t have a close analogue in the real-world economy.\nBuying a stock you like isn’t much different from purchasing a product that catches your eye. But if you’re walking through the local grocery store and see an item that sets your stomach turning—say, ketchup-flavored potato chips—you don’t stand in the aisle waving off other customers, telling them how bad it is. You don’t try to crush the bag. You just think, “Who in the world eats this … ” and go on your merry way without putting it in your cart.\nOn the stock market, you can do more than just ignore the stuff you think is lousy. You can actively hunt down weak companies or overpriced stocks and try to profit from their decline. Shorting is an old practice—Napoleon outlawed it—that’s become a taken-for-granted part of modern finance. Hedge funds couldn’t hedge without some form of shorting; it’s a kind of insurance that something in a portfolio is making money even if the market falls.\nAnd right now a lot of peoplehate it. A common thread among many of the stocks retail investors have embraced—includingGameStop Corp.andAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.—is that they’ve also been targeted by short sellers. The traders who call themselves “apes” on Twitter and Reddit discussion boards see themselves as an army at war with the short sellers from elite Wall Street.\nIn fact, fans of these so-called meme stocks are locked into a symbiotic relationship with the shorts. Part of the reasonGameStopandAMCwere launched to the moon is that a frenzied group of traders thought they had an opportunity to make money by overpowering the short bets placed by hedge funds.\n\nTo see why, you need to understand the mechanics of shorting. Take GameStop as an example. Prior to its explosive jump in price early this year, hedge funds and other traders were arrayed against the video game retailer. That wasn’t crazy: Brick-and-mortar stores were hurting even before the pandemic, and GameStop’s main product is digital and increasingly sold over the internet. To short the stock, bears could borrow some shares—typically from a large money manager—and then sell them. Later they’d have to buy back the stock to return it to the owner. But if they were right and the shares fell, they could pocket the difference between the new price and the one they sold at. (Traders may also go short using options contracts.) In January, 140% of GameStop’s free-floating shares were tied to short sales. This can happen because a single share can be borrowed, sold, and then borrowed again from the new owner.\nBecause shorting puts a notch in the sell column for a stock, it can put pressure on its price to fall. So bulls naturally see shorts as working against them. The flip side is that the optimists can hurt the shorts—and even profit from doing so. A so-called short squeeze occurs when the price on a stock rises so much that shorts have to bail out of their trades. That means they have to buy back the shares they borrowed and sold, and their buying pushes prices even higher. The shocking upward spiral in GameStop shares in January appears to have been a squeeze. The more recent rally in the shares of cinema chain AMC could be an attempt to start one, as online influencers try to rally their troops against a common foe. Hedge funds trying to profit from the pain of an iconic business and its retail shareholders make for good villains.\nWall Street pros, on the other hand, tend to regard shorts as a necessary part of the financial landscape. They see financial markets not simply as a grocery store where you can buy things you want, but as a kind of machine for discovering correct prices. Shorts add an input—without them, the only people with a reason to have an opinion about a company would be people interested in buying or current owners thinking of getting out.\nShorting brings people who may be even harsher skeptics into the conversation. They don’t own the shares and don’t want to, but they still can signal that the stock’s overpriced—or that something isn’t quite right. They may even publicize their case against a stock and push its price down. “Short selling is generally a very positive thing for the market,” says Larry Tabb, head of market structure research at Bloomberg Intelligence. “It rewards people to provide information on what companies are saying and doing.”\nConsider the case of Lordstown Motors Corp.and Hindenburg Research, which publishes online reports on stocks it might be shorting. Hindenburg issued a report in March alleging that Lordstown was making inaccurate statements. Chief Executive Officer Steve Burns and another executiveabruptly left the companyin June, and the board admitted some statements Lordstown had made were misleading, sending shares plummeting by more than 20% at one point. (Lordstown still denies most of Hindenburg’s specific allegations.)\nEven more recently, shares of online sports betting companyDraftKings Inc.were roiled after acritical report from Hindenburg. DraftKings has disputed Hindenburg’s claims, and said in a statement that the analysis “is written by someone who is short on DraftKings stock with an incentive to drive down the share price.” Hindenburg discloses in its report that it has a short position.\nCritics of short sellers point out that their incentives are not simply a mirror image of buyers’ motivations. The potential upside for betting against a stock or bond is limited—a stock can only fall to $0—while losses are theoretically infinite if shares keep rising. So short sellers can’t just sit back, Warren Buffett-like, and wait for the world to agree with them. A fund that shorted GameStop in July 2020 at $3.85 could have made, at most, $3.85 a share minus borrowing costs. Anyone who took that position and stuck with it through June 21—an unlikely scenario—would be in the red a disastrous $196 for each share they shorted, plus expenses.\nThat asymmetry makes short selling like juggling chainsaws. And it helps fuel suspicions that some short sellers would be willing to do unscrupulous things to make sure they win, whether it’s manipulating markets behind the scenes or hyping up dubious cases against a company. On June 21, real estate companyFarmland Partners Inc.said it settledlitigation against Quinton Mathews, a short who published a pseudonymous blog post that led to a 39% decline in the stock. Mathews said in a statement that his article “contained inaccuracies and false allegations” and retracted it.\nTo be sure, plenty of big investors praise the shares they own, which may help their prices rise. You can see them every day on financial TV and quoted in the business news. But shorts may have an extra psychological edge they can exploit. According to a2008 research paperpublished in thePsychological Bulletin, people have “the propensity to attend to, learn from, and use negative information far more than positive information.” In the context of investing, that means people may pay more attention to bearish news. Like it or not, a short seller peddling what bulls call FUD (or “fear, uncertainty, and doubt”) may resonate more than an optimist making the bull case.\nShort sellers are a godsend for journalists. Because shorts think they have unique insights that haven’t been widely disseminated, they’re often willing to say things about a company that are spicier than the pablum found in your typical brokerage research report. That their quotes can be catchy makes it easy to write about them, which leads some people to think that reporters are in cahoots with the shorts. In practice, the outsize attention short sellers receive is mostly attributable to the fact that they’re often the only dissenting opinion to be found. Short sellers have helped reporters uncover frauds—the classic example is Enron Corp.—but they also take advantage of the news media’s deepest bias, which is for the interesting and salacious.\nA dirtier way for shorts to game the system would be selling shares they haven’t actually borrowed, a practice known as “naked shorting.” In doing so, a short seller could place more pressure on the stock to go down than the market would naturally allow (because sometimes there just aren’t enough shares to borrow) while avoiding what can be hefty borrowing fees.

Lam Research(NASDAQ:LRCX)lagged, down from its October 2020 record of 28.8% to 20%.\nFor the least owned/overweighted stocks, BofA highlights Microchip(NASDAQ:MCHP), which has a 10% ownership despite a $40B market cap that would normally come with 15-20% ownership.\nSkyworks(NASDAQ:SWKS), Qorvo(NASDAQ:QRVO), and Teradyne(NASDAQ:TER)are also flagged for having \"extremely low ownership\" of only 6-7% and extremely low relative weightage of 0.24x-0.57x. \"\n\"It's possible these stocks are more preferred by SMidcap, rather than large-cap managers,\" BofA says about the least-owned stocks.\nRecent semiconductor news: U.S. Senators propose 25% tax credit for U.S.semiconductor investments","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
