It expects its revenue to grow just 10%-16% year over year in the third quarter, compared to analysts' expectations for 24% growth.</p>\n<p>Amazon attributed its slowdown to difficult comparisons against the pandemic-driven acceleration in online shopping a year ago. During the conference call, Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky noted that since last May, its revenue growth \"jumped to the 35% to 45% range and remained at that level through Q1 of this year, when we had 41% growth.\" But starting in the second quarter, Amazon \"began to comp this high sales period from last year, and the year-over-year revenue growth rate has narrowed.\"</p>\n<p>Olsavsky expects the slowdown to continue as \"vaccines become more readily available in many countries and people are getting out of their homes.\" He also noted that Amazon's average spending per Prime member had \"moderated compared to spending seen during the peak of the pandemic.\"</p>\n<h2>Focus on its two-year CAGR</h2>\n<p>Amazon's acceleration during the pandemic and its subsequent slowdown makes it difficult to gauge its near-term growth.

But after smoothing out the pandemic-related volatility, Olsavsky still expects Amazon to grow at a two-year CAGR of 25%-30% -- which indicates its core businesses are still strong.</p>\n<h2>But mind the shifting growth engines</h2>\n<p>Amazon's long-term growth seems stable, but its core growth engines are shifting. Within the e-commerce segment, its third-party merchants accounted for 56% of its total paid units during the second quarter -- compared to 53% a year ago -- and continue to generate significantly stronger sales growth than its first-party marketplace.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad5800f3915576d4e432e18406be395e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Amazon.</span></p>\n<p>That shift is worrisome because Amazon has already faced quality control issues in its third-party marketplace and ongoing complaints about counterfeit products from overseas merchants.</p>\n<p>Amazon's revenue growth during the second quarter would have even been slower without the help of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world's largest cloud infrastructure platform, and its advertising business.</p>\n<p>AWS' revenue rose 37% year over year to $14.8 billion during the quarter, or 13% of Amazon's top line, and its operating profits jumped 25% to $4.2 billion -- or 54% of Amazon's total operating income. Revenue from its \"other\" segment -- which primarily consists of its advertising revenue -- soared 87% year over year to $7.9 billion, or 7% of Amazon's top line.</p>\n<p>If we exclude AWS and the \"other\" segment from both periods, Amazon's revenue would have only risen 22% year over year during the second quarter. If we go a step further and also exclude all its third-party seller services, its revenue would have only increased 17% year over year.</p>\n<h2>Tough tasks ahead for a new CEO</h2>\n<p>Andy Jassy took over as Amazon's new CEO in early July, but he hasn't presented a clear roadmap for the company's future yet. Jassy previously led AWS, so Amazon's core profit engine -- which subsidizes the growth of its lower-margin retail business -- is clearly in good hands.</p>\n<p>Yet Amazon's retail business still faces significant challenges.

This has been going on for a while and is not necessarily a bull market “killer,” but it is certainly not the healthiest of environments.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P,the NASDAQ-100&nbsp;and the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;are all at or near all-time highs. But the Russell 2000 is lagging behind, reflective of the poor internal strength of the overall market. The internal measurements show fairly heavy put buying, poor breadth on many days, and even more new 52-week lows than new highs.</p>\n<p>What is propelling SPX and the narrow-based indexes is a relatively small number of large-cap tech stocks.</p>\n<p>Similar stories have unfolded many times in the past – some with dire market results and some not so bad. But it is extremely difficult to keep a bull market going with the majority of stocks lagging behind.</p>\n<p>Two rather notable, but certainly not recent, occurrences were 1) the “Nifty Fifty” stocks of 1973 that seemed to “defy gravity” and kept going up while the rest of the market was stumbling; eventually that situation deteriorated into a raging bear market in 1974, and 2) the “stealth bear market” of 1994, where small-caps went down for most of the year, yet SPX was essentially flat during that time; there never<i>was</i>much of a decline in that index until an unrelated scandal (the Orange County debacle) took it down briefly late in the year.</p>\n<p>This situation is not irreversible. It could “right” itself if breadth were to improve. That is still a possibility.</p>\n<p>The SPX chart is still in a bullish mode, as it is rising and above support. There is minor support at this week’s lows, near 4370. Then there is more important support below that at 4233 (the July lows). As long as SPX remains above that level, the chart will still have a bullish appearance. Further support levels at 4160 and 4060 were well-tested, but are so far below current levels as to be of little use.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/033187b97fbfadb4f302aff6d1e0e8c6\" tg-width=\"699\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>LAWRENCE MCMILLAN</span></p>\n<p>As noted on the accompanying SPX chart, a McMillan Volatility Band (MVB) sell signal is place (green “S” on the upper right of the chart). In addition, there is now a realized volatility sell signal in place, too, as the S&amp;P’s 20-day historical volatility has risen above 11%.</p>\n<p>Equity-only put-call ratios remain on sell signals, as they are still rising. This is indicative of relatively heavy put buying over the past month. As one can see from the accompanying charts, the standard ratio is rising faster than the weighted ratio – but both are rising.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94f1634f122ad3efa266cde27ddd8599\" tg-width=\"699\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>LAWRENCE MCMILLAN</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/786b9a1f7118e239186772ceb365b513\" tg-width=\"699\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>LAWRENCE MCMILLAN</span></p>\n<p>Breadth has been the most prominent indicator of the internal troubles that the current market is experiencing. It has been negative on many days when SPX was making new all-time highs. As a result, our breadth oscillators are lagging behind the market. Yes, they are on buy signals, but are nowhere near the positive levels that one would expect to see with the NASDAQ-100, S&amp;P 500 and Dow industrials at or near their highs.</p>\n<p>There was one small ray of improvement here on Wednesday, though, when the broad market was flat-to-down on the day, yet breadth was positive. We have not seen that much recently, but if it should continue, that would be bullish for stocks.</p>\n<p>The cumulative breadth oscillators continue to lag, and that is the “official” measure of a negative divergence. The cumulative breadth indicators made new all-time highs on 10 of 13 trading days leading up to and including June 11. Since then, they have not made a single new all-time high. Meanwhile, SPX has made new all-time highs on 13 separate trading days since that date.<i>That</i>is a negative divergence.</p>\n<p>It can be overcome by an improvement in the cumulative breadth indicators – something which was accomplished earlier this year. But, for now, this negative divergence remains as a warning sign to stay alert and not become complacent.</p>\n<p>Over the past week, new 52-weeks lows were more numerous than new 52-week highs in terms of NASDAQ data and in terms of “stocks only” data. However, it is the NYSE that we use for our indicator, and new highs managed to cling to a narrow lead over new lows there. Thus, this indicator – while weakening – is still in a bullish state.</p>\n<p>The one area of the market that has not shown these negative tendencies is implied volatility – VIX&nbsp;and its trading products. The VIX “spike peak” buy signal of July 20 is still in place. In fact, there has been a continuous “spike peak” buy signal in place since May 21, except for two trading days. Moreover, the trend of VIX remains downward as the 200-day moving average is still declining, and it is well above the VIX 20-day moving average.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/647dc26baa4fe92b852e1a1585a5cc18\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"527\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>LAWRENCE MCMILLAN</span></p>\n<p>The construct of volatility derivatives remains positive for stocks. The front-month August VIX futures are trading at a rather large premium to VIX, and the VIX futures term structure slopes upward. Also, the CBOE Volatility Indices term structure slopes upward. These add up to a bullish scenario for stocks. Any danger for the broad market would be signaled by the August VIX futures trading at a higher price than the September VIX futures, but that it is not imminent.</p>\n<p>So, the “core” outlook for the market remains bullish due to the trends of SPX and VIX. Yes, the internals are warning against complacency, so we can take sell signals against this “core” bullish position, but as long as SPX remains above support at 4233, the bulls remain in charge.</p>\n<p><b>New Recommendation: D.R. Horton</b></p>\n<p>D.R. HortonDHI,+0.50%has a new buy signal from its put-call ratio chart, but we want that to be confirmed by an upside breakout as well. From the chart below, one can see the local maximum at an extremely high level on the put-call ratio chart (the green “B”), and that is an example of extreme pessimism toward this stock, even though its pullback since the beginning of May has not been all that steep.</p>\n<p>Put-call ratio signals are contrary in nature, so if the public is extremely pessimistic, we want to be optimistic.

This has been going on for a while and is not necessarily a bull market “killer,” but it is certainly not the healthiest of environments.\nThe S&P,the NASDAQ-100 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average are all at or near all-time highs. But the Russell 2000 is lagging behind, reflective of the poor internal strength of the overall market. The internal measurements show fairly heavy put buying, poor breadth on many days, and even more new 52-week lows than new highs.\nWhat is propelling SPX and the narrow-based indexes is a relatively small number of large-cap tech stocks.\nSimilar stories have unfolded many times in the past – some with dire market results and some not so bad. But it is extremely difficult to keep a bull market going with the majority of stocks lagging behind.\nTwo rather notable, but certainly not recent, occurrences were 1) the “Nifty Fifty” stocks of 1973 that seemed to “defy gravity” and kept going up while the rest of the market was stumbling; eventually that situation deteriorated into a raging bear market in 1974, and 2) the “stealth bear market” of 1994, where small-caps went down for most of the year, yet SPX was essentially flat during that time; there neverwasmuch of a decline in that index until an unrelated scandal (the Orange County debacle) took it down briefly late in the year.\nThis situation is not irreversible. It could “right” itself if breadth were to improve. That is still a possibility.\nThe SPX chart is still in a bullish mode, as it is rising and above support. There is minor support at this week’s lows, near 4370. Then there is more important support below that at 4233 (the July lows). As long as SPX remains above that level, the chart will still have a bullish appearance. Further support levels at 4160 and 4060 were well-tested, but are so far below current levels as to be of little use.\nLAWRENCE MCMILLAN\nAs noted on the accompanying SPX chart, a McMillan Volatility Band (MVB) sell signal is place (green “S” on the upper right of the chart). In addition, there is now a realized volatility sell signal in place, too, as the S&P’s 20-day historical volatility has risen above 11%.\nEquity-only put-call ratios remain on sell signals, as they are still rising. This is indicative of relatively heavy put buying over the past month. As one can see from the accompanying charts, the standard ratio is rising faster than the weighted ratio – but both are rising.\nLAWRENCE MCMILLAN\nLAWRENCE MCMILLAN\nBreadth has been the most prominent indicator of the internal troubles that the current market is experiencing. It has been negative on many days when SPX was making new all-time highs. As a result, our breadth oscillators are lagging behind the market. Yes, they are on buy signals, but are nowhere near the positive levels that one would expect to see with the NASDAQ-100, S&P 500 and Dow industrials at or near their highs.\nThere was one small ray of improvement here on Wednesday, though, when the broad market was flat-to-down on the day, yet breadth was positive. We have not seen that much recently, but if it should continue, that would be bullish for stocks.\nThe cumulative breadth oscillators continue to lag, and that is the “official” measure of a negative divergence. The cumulative breadth indicators made new all-time highs on 10 of 13 trading days leading up to and including June 11. Since then, they have not made a single new all-time high. Meanwhile, SPX has made new all-time highs on 13 separate trading days since that date.Thatis a negative divergence.\nIt can be overcome by an improvement in the cumulative breadth indicators – something which was accomplished earlier this year. But, for now, this negative divergence remains as a warning sign to stay alert and not become complacent.\nOver the past week, new 52-weeks lows were more numerous than new 52-week highs in terms of NASDAQ data and in terms of “stocks only” data. However, it is the NYSE that we use for our indicator, and new highs managed to cling to a narrow lead over new lows there. Thus, this indicator – while weakening – is still in a bullish state.\nThe one area of the market that has not shown these negative tendencies is implied volatility – VIX and its trading products. The VIX “spike peak” buy signal of July 20 is still in place. In fact, there has been a continuous “spike peak” buy signal in place since May 21, except for two trading days. Moreover, the trend of VIX remains downward as the 200-day moving average is still declining, and it is well above the VIX 20-day moving average.\nLAWRENCE MCMILLAN\nThe construct of volatility derivatives remains positive for stocks. The front-month August VIX futures are trading at a rather large premium to VIX, and the VIX futures term structure slopes upward. Also, the CBOE Volatility Indices term structure slopes upward. These add up to a bullish scenario for stocks. Any danger for the broad market would be signaled by the August VIX futures trading at a higher price than the September VIX futures, but that it is not imminent.\nSo, the “core” outlook for the market remains bullish due to the trends of SPX and VIX. Yes, the internals are warning against complacency, so we can take sell signals against this “core” bullish position, but as long as SPX remains above support at 4233, the bulls remain in charge.\nNew Recommendation: D.R. Horton\nD.R. HortonDHI,+0.50%has a new buy signal from its put-call ratio chart, but we want that to be confirmed by an upside breakout as well. From the chart below, one can see the local maximum at an extremely high level on the put-call ratio chart (the green “B”), and that is an example of extreme pessimism toward this stock, even though its pullback since the beginning of May has not been all that steep.\nPut-call ratio signals are contrary in nature, so if the public is extremely pessimistic, we want to be optimistic. That would materialize in the form of a call buy, but only if DHI can close above resistance at 93.\nIF DHI closes above 93,\nTHEN buy 2 DHI Sept (17th) 92.5 calls\nDHI is currently trading above 93, but we want to see it close there before taking a long call position.\nLAWRENCE MCMILLAN\nThat is the only new recommendation. There has not been a lot of takeover rumor activity recently except forCerner Corp.CERN,+1.38%However, we only recently exited a position in Cerner, as the takeover rumors had been around so long that they extended beyond the length of the expiration date of our calls.\nFollow-up action\nAll stops are mental closing stops unless otherwise noted.\nLong 3 DUK Aug (20th) 100 calls:Raise the trailing stop to 102.\nLong 4 DBX Aug (13th) 30.5 calls:Raise the trailing stop to 30.20.\nLong 1 RAPT Aug (20th) 30 call:The stop yourself remains at 26.\nLong 1 SPY Aug (20th) 431 call:This position was bought in line with the VIX “spike peak” buy signal of July 20. Continue to hold for 22 days from that date. The position would be stopped out if VIX were to rise 3.00 points or more within any three-day period, using closing prices. If it is stopped out, then re-enter with an at-the-money call on the ensuing buy signal.\nLong 2 HOLX Sept (17th) 65 calls:Raise the trailing stop yourself to 68. Furthermore, if the stop trades at 75, then roll up to theSept (17th) 75 calls.\nLong 1 SPY Aug (20th) 433 put and short 1 SPY Aug (20th) 408 put:This spread was bought in line with the equity-only put-call ratio sell signals. Those sell signals are still in place, so continue to hold this spread. We will update the situation weekly.\nLong 0 AVCT Aug (20th) 5 calls:These calls were stopped out when American Virtual Cloud TechnologiesAVCT,-1.30%closed below 5 on July 26. The stock had begun to weaken on news of debt reduction and then fell sharply after the company filed to sell more shares.\nLong 5 STAR Aug (20th) 22.5 calls:Raise the stop to 22.20.\nLong 5 MGI Aug (20th) 10 calls:Hold this position without a stop initially to see if a takeover bid can materialize.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":185,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806282567,"gmtCreate":1627658139759,"gmtModify":1633757329543,"author":{"id":"3559581219860950","authorId":"3559581219860950","name":"zsnnsndnf","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06d2cc3c8ad336a7571b581c920c98b8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559581219860950","idStr":"3559581219860950"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/806282567","repostId":"2155159451","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155159451","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1627656165,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2155159451?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-30 22:42","market":"uk","language":"en","title":"Daimler to keep 35% stake in trucks spin-off as separation nears","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155159451","media":"Reuters","summary":"FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Daimler will keep a 35% stake in the trucks division it plans to spin off later","content":"<p>FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Daimler will keep a 35% stake in the trucks division it plans to spin off later this year, the luxury carmaker said on Friday, unveiling more details about the landmark corporate split announced earlier this year.</p>\n<p>The spinoff of Daimler Truck Holding AG as a separate listed entity will be voted on by Daimler shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting on Oct. 1.

It expects its revenue to grow just 10%-16% year over year in the third quarter, compared to analysts' expectations for 24% growth.</p>\n<p>Amazon attributed its slowdown to difficult comparisons against the pandemic-driven acceleration in online shopping a year ago. During the conference call, Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky noted that since last May, its revenue growth \"jumped to the 35% to 45% range and remained at that level through Q1 of this year, when we had 41% growth.\" But starting in the second quarter, Amazon \"began to comp this high sales period from last year, and the year-over-year revenue growth rate has narrowed.\"</p>\n<p>Olsavsky expects the slowdown to continue as \"vaccines become more readily available in many countries and people are getting out of their homes.\" He also noted that Amazon's average spending per Prime member had \"moderated compared to spending seen during the peak of the pandemic.\"</p>\n<h2>Focus on its two-year CAGR</h2>\n<p>Amazon's acceleration during the pandemic and its subsequent slowdown makes it difficult to gauge its near-term growth. So instead of focusing on its tough year-over-year comparisons over the next few quarters, Olsavsky advised investors to focus on its two-year CAGR instead.</p>\n<p>Olsavsky noted that prior to the pandemic, Amazon was growing its revenue at a two-year CAGR of 21%. But after smoothing out the pandemic-related volatility, Olsavsky still expects Amazon to grow at a two-year CAGR of 25%-30% -- which indicates its core businesses are still strong.</p>\n<h2>But mind the shifting growth engines</h2>\n<p>Amazon's long-term growth seems stable, but its core growth engines are shifting. Within the e-commerce segment, its third-party merchants accounted for 56% of its total paid units during the second quarter -- compared to 53% a year ago -- and continue to generate significantly stronger sales growth than its first-party marketplace.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad5800f3915576d4e432e18406be395e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Amazon.</span></p>\n<p>That shift is worrisome because Amazon has already faced quality control issues in its third-party marketplace and ongoing complaints about counterfeit products from overseas merchants.</p>\n<p>Amazon's revenue growth during the second quarter would have even been slower without the help of Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world's largest cloud infrastructure platform, and its advertising business.</p>\n<p>AWS' revenue rose 37% year over year to $14.8 billion during the quarter, or 13% of Amazon's top line, and its operating profits jumped 25% to $4.2 billion -- or 54% of Amazon's total operating income. Revenue from its \"other\" segment -- which primarily consists of its advertising revenue -- soared 87% year over year to $7.9 billion, or 7% of Amazon's top line.</p>\n<p>If we exclude AWS and the \"other\" segment from both periods, Amazon's revenue would have only risen 22% year over year during the second quarter. If we go a step further and also exclude all its third-party seller services, its revenue would have only increased 17% year over year.</p>\n<h2>Tough tasks ahead for a new CEO</h2>\n<p>Andy Jassy took over as Amazon's new CEO in early July, but he hasn't presented a clear roadmap for the company's future yet. Jassy previously led AWS, so Amazon's core profit engine -- which subsidizes the growth of its lower-margin retail business -- is clearly in good hands.</p>\n<p>Yet Amazon's retail business still faces significant challenges.

I'm a bit disappointed in the company's second-quarter numbers and guidance, but the slowdown wasn't surprising at all.
