Decliners outweighed advancers 280 to 188, after 1.2 billion securities worth some S$1.5 billion were traded.\nOanda senior market analyst Jeffrey Halley said that on the whole, the Omicron coronavirus variant \"has not caused the global economy to blink yet\", but China's problems are still of concern.\n\"That appears to be because the world is fed up with lockdowns and restrictions, rather than the virus itself. The news from China continues to concern, however. The bottom-pickers buy recommendations are flowing thick and fast on China property companies,\" he said.\nOn the local bourse, DBS was the top advancer for the second consecutive day. The stock added 0.3 per cent or S$0.11 to S$32.44.\nA few \"pandemic plays\" - local glovemakers and healthcare-related counters - were also among the biggest gainers.\nTop Glove was up 6.1 per cent or S$0.04 to S$0.70; Medtecs International gained 13.1 per cent or S$0.04 to S$0.345, while UG Healthcare rose 14.3 per cent or S$0.04 to S$0.32. Riverstone, too, rose 3.7 per cent or S$0.025 to S$0.695.\nThinly-traded Shangri-La Asia was the biggest loser of the day, falling 8.6 per cent or HK$0.58 to HK$6.19. Two members of the Jardine group of companies were also among the top decliners. Jardine Cycle and Carriag fell 1.8 per cent or S$0.38 to S$20.82, while Jardine Matheson Holdings lost 0.6 per cent or US$0.32 to US$55.33.\nQT Vascular was the most heavily traded stock on Friday, with some 124.1 million shares changing hands. The counter closed at S$0.005, down 16.7 per cent or S$0.001.\nOther heavily traded counters were Disa Limited, Singtel and ComfortDelGro .\nAcross Asia, markets ended the day mixed. The KLCI was up 1.2 per cent; the Kospi rose 0.4 per cent, and the Jakarta Composite Index added 0.1 per cent. Meanwhile, the Nikkei 225 fell 1.8 per cent, and the Hang Seng Index lost 1.2 per cent.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":674,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":602018596,"gmtCreate":1638939040856,"gmtModify":1638939041050,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/C38U.SI\">$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$</a> Should have informed shareholders the adhoc offerings in advance on AGM","listText":"<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/C38U.SI\">$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$</a> Should have informed shareholders the adhoc offerings in advance on AGM","text":"$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ Should have informed shareholders the adhoc offerings in advance on AGM","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/602018596","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":859,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":603198026,"gmtCreate":1638371435847,"gmtModify":1638371436650,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Booming","listText":"Booming","text":"Booming","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603198026","repostId":"2188563155","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2188563155","pubTimestamp":1638370066,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188563155?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-01 22:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Biggest Threat to Meta in the Metaverse","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2188563155","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"If the enterprise markets leads metaverse development, Meta may not be the leader.","content":"<p>I don't think there's any doubt that the metaverse is on our horizon.

Game Delays Caught Wall Street Off Guard.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176588625","media":"Barrons","summary":"Activision Blizzard stock had its worst day since November 2008 on Wednesday as Wall Street tempered","content":"<p>Activision Blizzard stock had its worst day since November 2008 on Wednesday as Wall Street tempered expectations for the coming quarters. Delays for games <i>Overwatch 2</i> and <i>Diablo IV</i> caught Wall Street off guard.</p>\n<p>The company (ticker: ATVI) joined a swath of videogame firms that have pushed back the release of key titles amid the pandemic. Activision Blizzard said it’s not planning for material contributions from <i>Diablo IV</i> and <i>Overwatch 2</i> in 2022.</p>\n<p>Shares of the videogame firm fell about 14%, to $66.75, on Wednesday, the stock’s worst single-day percentage drop since it fell 15.6% on Nov. 14, 2008, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The S&P 500 rose 0.6%, and the Nasdaq rose 1% on Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Baird analyst Colin Sebastian titled his Wednesday note “Q3 Recap: Should Have Known Better.”</p>\n<p>“While shares will trade lower embedding the push-out of revenues and earnings, compounding already frayed management credibility, we’d remind investors that it’s not unusual for Blizzard to delay new releases, and that other competing console/PC titles were pushed out at least a year, reflecting work-from-home issues,” Sebastian wrote.</p>\n<p>For Activision Blizzard, Sebastian notes that the company is also experiencing internal disruptions following months of headlines and complaints from employees about the firm’s workplace culture.</p>\n<p>Executives said during the company’s earnings call that Jen Oneal, who became Blizzard’s co-leader in August along with Mike Ybarra, plans to depart at the end of the year. The company cited leadership changes when discussing the delays.</p>\n<p>Activision Blizzard is responding to employee concerns that were brought to investors’ attention when the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing filed a civil lawsuit in July. The agency alleged that the company “fostered a pervasive ‘frat boy’ workplace culture.” The firm also disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission was looking into disclosures related to workplace issues.</p>\n<p>Following an employee walkout, CEO Bobby Kotick recently said he’d cut his salary to the minimum allowed under California law. He also pledged that the company would take actions like investing $250 million toward opportunities for people from under-represented groups and increasing the percentage of women and non-binary people in its workforce by 50% within the next five years.</p>\n<p>“Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation regarding accusations of workplace harassment,” Sebastian wrote, when discussing environmental, social, and governance considerations for the stock. “Clearly this will cast a shadow on the company’s social and governance efforts at least for the nearterm.”</p>\n<p>MKM Partners analyst Eric Handler cut his rating to Neutral from Buy and his price target to $75 from $108 in a note on Wednesday.

Delays for games Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV caught Wall Street off guard.\nThe company (ticker: ATVI) joined a swath of videogame firms that have pushed back the release of key titles amid the pandemic. Activision Blizzard said it’s not planning for material contributions from Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 in 2022.\nShares of the videogame firm fell about 14%, to $66.75, on Wednesday, the stock’s worst single-day percentage drop since it fell 15.6% on Nov. 14, 2008, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The S&P 500 rose 0.6%, and the Nasdaq rose 1% on Wednesday.\nBaird analyst Colin Sebastian titled his Wednesday note “Q3 Recap: Should Have Known Better.”\n“While shares will trade lower embedding the push-out of revenues and earnings, compounding already frayed management credibility, we’d remind investors that it’s not unusual for Blizzard to delay new releases, and that other competing console/PC titles were pushed out at least a year, reflecting work-from-home issues,” Sebastian wrote.\nFor Activision Blizzard, Sebastian notes that the company is also experiencing internal disruptions following months of headlines and complaints from employees about the firm’s workplace culture.\nExecutives said during the company’s earnings call that Jen Oneal, who became Blizzard’s co-leader in August along with Mike Ybarra, plans to depart at the end of the year. The company cited leadership changes when discussing the delays.\nActivision Blizzard is responding to employee concerns that were brought to investors’ attention when the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing filed a civil lawsuit in July. The agency alleged that the company “fostered a pervasive ‘frat boy’ workplace culture.” The firm also disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission was looking into disclosures related to workplace issues.\nFollowing an employee walkout, CEO Bobby Kotick recently said he’d cut his salary to the minimum allowed under California law. He also pledged that the company would take actions like investing $250 million toward opportunities for people from under-represented groups and increasing the percentage of women and non-binary people in its workforce by 50% within the next five years.\n“Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation regarding accusations of workplace harassment,” Sebastian wrote, when discussing environmental, social, and governance considerations for the stock. “Clearly this will cast a shadow on the company’s social and governance efforts at least for the nearterm.”\nMKM Partners analyst Eric Handler cut his rating to Neutral from Buy and his price target to $75 from $108 in a note on Wednesday. He pointed to the delays, ongoing personnel turnover, and his belief that not all the bad news is out of the way.\n“With increased uncertainty towards the every-other-year release of a [World of Warcraft] Modern expansion pack and for the various mobile titles currently in development, the 2022 projected growth curve has substantially flattened from our prior view,” Handler wrote.\nWedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who cut his price target to $98 from $125 but maintained an Outperform rating, noted that he suspected Overwatch 2 could slip into 2023 when the game’s previous director Jeff Kaplan left the company in April.\nThe analyst added that for the sequel, players will compete on teams of five, rather than the six in the current Overwatch game—a change that necessitated an overhaul of how the game is played. Still, comments from developers about the game’s progress as recently as two months ago seemingly signaled to Pachter that the game was on track for a 2022 release.\n“We think that Activision’s multi -channel distribution strategy for its games (premium, mobile, free-to-play and ongoing in-game monetization for premium) will ultimately pay large dividends, but the stock price suggests that investors have tired of waiting,” Pachter wrote.\nOppenheimer analyst Martin Yang cut his target to $85 from $100, noting that game delays are among the least challenging issues the company will face in the next year.

(Z) is a digital real estate company which operates in three divisions. First, it operates its Internet, Media, and Technology (IMT) segment which produces revenue through Premier Agent or advertising revenues from agents. Second, the mortgage segment makes money by performing loan originations and reselling mortgages. The third segment, and largest segment by revenue, is the Homes segment, commonly known as Zillow Offers. In this segment the company purchases, fixes, and resells residential real estate. Zillow announced it will be winding this segment down completely during their Q3 earnings release. The wind-down includes an asset write-down of over $300M as well.</p>\n<p><b>So, how did we get here?</b></p>\n<p>In mid-October, Zillow paused this segment through at least the end of 2021.</p>\n<blockquote>\n We are beyond operational capacity in our Zillow Offers business and are not taking on additional contracts to purchase homes at this time...\"\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Company Spokesman per Seeking Alpha, courtesy Bloomberg.\n</blockquote>\n<p>This news had both positive and negative elements. First, on the positive side, it is obvious that the iBuying program is immensely popular. Zillow reported that 1% of homes in Q2 2021 used some type of iBuying program. This may not seem significant at just 1%, however considering the United States home sales market is expected to reach $2.5 <i>trillion</i> in 2021, this is a very big number indeed. I also considered it positive that Zillow recognized that they were becoming overextended and paused, rather than risking serious systemic issues that would hurt customers and damage their reputation.</p>\n<p>This has clear implications for competitors like Redfin (RDFN) and Opendoor (OPEN) to accumulate market share. The iBuying process is popular, but it must be managed correctly. I have seen no indication that they will cease their programs.</p>\n<p>Further, this could be a reflection that the red-hot market is cooling. Zillow may have many more sellers in line than buyers. While the secular demand trends are expected to be positive, as the country is short millions of homes, the short-term could get bumpy. Two days prior to this announcement, Redfin reported a drop in both homes sales, which dropped 9%, and new listings, which fell 5%.</p>\n<p>Other reasons for the pause, included macroeconomic issues that many businesses are currently facing. These include supply and labor shortages that have extended the process of reselling a home.</p>\n<blockquote>\n We're operating within a labor- and supply-constrained economy inside a competitive real estate market, especially in the construction, renovation and closing spaces...\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n \"Pausing new contracts will enable us to focus on sellers already under contract with us and our current home inventory,\"\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow CEO, in a statement.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Because of this, higher costs of renovations could significantly tighten margins. In fact, more than half of the homes recently purchased may be under water, as I will discuss below.</p>\n<p>Home prices had been on fire for the first half of this year when Zillow was a buyer. Now that the market is taking a breather, these homes are waiting for buyers and the prices are coming down. This is a serious risk that every iBuying company will face. And the risk is structural. Shown below, prices have inched down ever so slightly from the red-hot summer months. It is worrisome that Zillow has purchased in the summer, while prices were highest, and is now selling in the fall when the kids are back in school and the market has slowed.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92e59a7c8a0c8cf3531ea1972a7a8fd3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"447\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Zillow Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>This news caused nervous investors to accelerate the downtrend in the stock, fearing a structural difficulty that could linger. The stock fell nearly 10% total in the days around the announcement.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a78debfc71d8aac0b2eaeaf304fe5eb6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>However, cooler heads prevailed and the stock recovered somewhat thanks to a bullish hedge fund call which I discuss below. It is still stuck in a persistent downward trend since earlier this year, as shown below in the YTD chart.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ab979080dfdee8a0875705807f5c89b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>One positive note for the stock is the interest from hedge fund manager Gil Simon of SoMa Equity Partners who recommended the stock and sees a \"compelling\" long-term opportunity. As the stock price has been cut in half since February 2021 it is difficult not to see it as oversold. Especially as certain metrics begin to resemble those from before the pandemic. This bullish call was made after the \"pause\" announcement, but before the \"wind down\" announcement.</p>\n<p>At the same time, not all analysts were or are bullish. Bank of America cut its price target from $100 to $85 on October 28, 2021.</p>\n<p>Then, to start out November on a sour note, a KeyBanc analyst pointed to a study done by the firm that shows well over half the home scurrently listed are selling for<i>less</i>than the purchase price. This led to another selloff of more than 10% to open the month of November, pictured below. This looked to confirm some of the worst fears when the pause was implemented.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/859acfe9ed5bc2583e62ed965984227f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Zillow Stock Forecast</b></p>\n<p>Q3 results are almost an afterthought at this point. There are some positives in the release, however. The IMT segment posted impressive revenue and EBITDA figures. The segment has grown revenues at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over 15% since 2018, or 52% total. Adjusted EBITDA in this segment has grown at a CAGR over 50% during this time and reached $836M for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021. This will be the key to success moving forward. Zillow also has the opportunity to focus on profitability moving forward rather than growth at any cost. The IMT segment is generally profitable, while the homebuying segment has been unprofitable historically. Mortgages have profit potential as well, having posted positive adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2021, albeit only $5M. It remains to be seen exactly how Zillow will move forward, but a focus on becoming cash-flow and EBITDA positive overall and the core business would be wise.</p>\n<p><b>Is Zillow Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</b></p>\n<p>Analysts have a gigantic spread in opinion on Zillow. Some have price targets at $145 while others have cut to just $85. The average target, according to Seeking Alpha's Wall St. Rating center is $98.50. There is much uncertainty after the announcement of the wind-down and we will likely see significant adjustments downward in the next several days.</p>\n<p>This uncertainty may bring about an opportunity to invest while the stock is heavily beaten down, but the best opportunity is likely not today. There is a real danger that there is more bad news to come. The stock will also need to be rerated by analysts and the news digested by Wall Street. At this time Zillow is far too risky to initiate a position.</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>Zillow Stops Homebuying: How Will This Impact Their Stock Forecast?</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\">\nZillow Stops Homebuying: How Will This Impact Their Stock Forecast?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-11-04 15:31 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4464868-zilllow-stops-homebuying-stock-forecast><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nZillow had paused, and now will completely wind down, home buying with the division terminating over the next few quarters.\nThere is evidence of a slowing housing market and Zillow is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4464868-zilllow-stops-homebuying-stock-forecast\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"Z":"Zillow","ZG":"Zillow Class A"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4464868-zilllow-stops-homebuying-stock-forecast","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1196366330","content_text":"Summary\n\nZillow had paused, and now will completely wind down, home buying with the division terminating over the next few quarters.\nThere is evidence of a slowing housing market and Zillow is reportedly offloading homes below cost and will take a significant asset write-down.\nZillow's stock has been in a downward cycle since February of this year, and this shows no signs of slowing.\nThe IMT segment posted positive Q3 results, which were obviously overshadowed by the news above.\nHow do these moving parts impact the company's prospects?\n\nXacto/E+ via Getty Images\nWhy Did Zillow Stop Home Buying?\nZillow Group, Inc.

These include supply and labor shortages that have extended the process of reselling a home.\n\n We're operating within a labor- and supply-constrained economy inside a competitive real estate market, especially in the construction, renovation and closing spaces...\n\n\n \"Pausing new contracts will enable us to focus on sellers already under contract with us and our current home inventory,\"\n\n\n Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow CEO, in a statement.\n\nBecause of this, higher costs of renovations could significantly tighten margins. In fact, more than half of the homes recently purchased may be under water, as I will discuss below.\nHome prices had been on fire for the first half of this year when Zillow was a buyer. Now that the market is taking a breather, these homes are waiting for buyers and the prices are coming down. This is a serious risk that every iBuying company will face. And the risk is structural. Shown below, prices have inched down ever so slightly from the red-hot summer months. It is worrisome that Zillow has purchased in the summer, while prices were highest, and is now selling in the fall when the kids are back in school and the market has slowed.\nData by YCharts\nZillow Stock Price\nThis news caused nervous investors to accelerate the downtrend in the stock, fearing a structural difficulty that could linger. The stock fell nearly 10% total in the days around the announcement.\nData by YCharts\nHowever, cooler heads prevailed and the stock recovered somewhat thanks to a bullish hedge fund call which I discuss below. It is still stuck in a persistent downward trend since earlier this year, as shown below in the YTD chart.\nData by YCharts\nOne positive note for the stock is the interest from hedge fund manager Gil Simon of SoMa Equity Partners who recommended the stock and sees a \"compelling\" long-term opportunity. As the stock price has been cut in half since February 2021 it is difficult not to see it as oversold. Especially as certain metrics begin to resemble those from before the pandemic. This bullish call was made after the \"pause\" announcement, but before the \"wind down\" announcement.\nAt the same time, not all analysts were or are bullish. Bank of America cut its price target from $100 to $85 on October 28, 2021.\nThen, to start out November on a sour note, a KeyBanc analyst pointed to a study done by the firm that shows well over half the home scurrently listed are selling forlessthan the purchase price. This led to another selloff of more than 10% to open the month of November, pictured below. This looked to confirm some of the worst fears when the pause was implemented.\nData by YCharts\nZillow Stock Forecast\nQ3 results are almost an afterthought at this point. There are some positives in the release, however. The IMT segment posted impressive revenue and EBITDA figures. The segment has grown revenues at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over 15% since 2018, or 52% total. Adjusted EBITDA in this segment has grown at a CAGR over 50% during this time and reached $836M for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021. This will be the key to success moving forward. Zillow also has the opportunity to focus on profitability moving forward rather than growth at any cost. The IMT segment is generally profitable, while the homebuying segment has been unprofitable historically. Mortgages have profit potential as well, having posted positive adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2021, albeit only $5M. It remains to be seen exactly how Zillow will move forward, but a focus on becoming cash-flow and EBITDA positive overall and the core business would be wise.\nIs Zillow Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?\nAnalysts have a gigantic spread in opinion on Zillow. Some have price targets at $145 while others have cut to just $85. The average target, according to Seeking Alpha's Wall St. Rating center is $98.50. There is much uncertainty after the announcement of the wind-down and we will likely see significant adjustments downward in the next several days.\nThis uncertainty may bring about an opportunity to invest while the stock is heavily beaten down, but the best opportunity is likely not today. There is a real danger that there is more bad news to come. The stock will also need to be rerated by analysts and the news digested by Wall Street. At this time Zillow is far too risky to initiate a position.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":426,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":859193653,"gmtCreate":1634662817384,"gmtModify":1634695410230,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Might tank likely","listText":"Might tank likely","text":"Might tank likely","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/859193653","repostId":"1159487757","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159487757","pubTimestamp":1634656655,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1159487757?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-19 23:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto stocks quickly reverse lower as bitcoin erases some gains","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159487757","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"A large basket of crypto stocks including Marathon Digital(NASDAQ:MARA), Hut 8 Mining(NASDAQ:HUT), B","content":"<p>A large basket of crypto stocks including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MPC\">Marathon</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DLR\">Digital</a>(NASDAQ:MARA), Hut 8 Mining(NASDAQ:HUT), Bitfarms(NASDAQ:BITF), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTR\">MicroStrategy</a>(NASDAQ:MSTR), slide into negative territory on Monday as bitcoin (BTC-USD) attempts to break out of mid-April levels, but quickly reverses lower to a trough of $61.7K before recovering back over $63K.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is slightly up on the day, up nearly 9% in the past five sessions, and +430% Y/Y, as per thechartbelow.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74d4a25a5b2d34f98bb3892e66be7712\" tg-width=\"1625\" tg-height=\"562\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Perhaps the rapid rise and fall of bitcoin (BTC-USD) intra-day is likely attributed to the much-awaited <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BITO\">ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF</a> (BITO), which is highly correlated with the price of BTC, starting trading on the same day.</p>\n<p>This is considered a big deal in the crypto community because it's the first bitcoin (BTC-USD) ETF that has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission to get listed as a publicly traded security;

Skyrocketing coal costs. Predicti","content":"<p>London (CNN Business)Astronomical increases in natural gas prices. Skyrocketing coal costs. Predictions of $100 oil.</p>\n<p>A global energy crunch caused by weather and a resurgence in demand is getting worse, stirring alarm ahead of the winter, when more energy is needed to light and heat homes. Governments around the world are trying to limit the impact on consumers, but acknowledge they may not be able to prevent bills spiking.</p>\n<p>Further complicating the picture is mounting pressure on governments to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy as world leaders prepare for a critical climate summit in November.</p>\n<p>In China, rolling blackouts for residents have already begun, while in India power stations are scrambling for coal. Consumer advocates in Europe are calling for a ban on disconnections if customers can't promptly settle what they owe.</p>\n<p>\"This price shock is an unexpected crisis at a critical juncture,\" EU energy chief Kadri Simson said Wednesday, confirming the bloc will outline its longer-term policy response next week. \"The immediate priority should be to mitigate social impacts and protect vulnerable households.\"</p>\n<p>In Europe, natural gas is now trading at the equivalent of $230 per barrel, in oil terms — up more than 130% since the beginning of September and more than eight times higher than the same point last year, according to data from Independent Commodity Intelligence Services.</p>\n<p>In East Asia, the cost of natural gas is up 85% since the start of September, hitting roughly $204 per barrel in oil terms. Prices remain much lower in the United States, a net exporter of natural gas, but still have shot up to their highest levels in 13 years.</p>\n<p>\"A lot of it is feeding off of fear about what the winter's going to look like,\" said Nikos Tsafos, an energy and geopolitics expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank. He thinks that anxiety has caused the market to break away from the fundamentals of supply and demand.</p>\n<p>The frenzy to secure natural gas is also pushing up the price of coal and oil, which can be used as substitutes in some cases, but are even worse for the climate. India, which remains extremely dependent on coal, said this week that as many as 63 of its 135 coal-fired power plants have two days or less of supplies.</p>\n<p>The circumstances are causing central banks and investors to worry. Rising energy prices are contributing to inflation, which already was a major concern as the global economy tries to shake off the lingering effects of Covid-19. Dynamics over the winter could make matters worse.</p>\n<p><b>No easy solution</b></p>\n<p>The crisis is rooted in soaring demand for energy as the economic recovery from the pandemic takes hold, and a carefully calibrated system that's easily disrupted by weather events or mechanical problems.</p>\n<p>An unusually long and cold winter earlier this year depleted stocks of natural gas in Europe. Soaring demand for energy has impeded the restocking process, which typically happens over the spring and summer.</p>\n<p>China's growing appetite for liquified natural gas has meant LNG markets can't fill the gap. A decline in Russian gas exports and unusually calm winds have exacerbated the problem.</p>\n<p>\"The current surge in European energy power prices is truly unique,\" energy analysts at the Société Générale bank told clients this week. \"Never before have power prices risen so far, so fast. And we are only a few days into autumn — temperatures are still mild.\"</p>\n<p>The dynamics are reverberating globally. In the United States, natural gas prices have risen 47% since the beginning of August. The scramble for coal is also triggering a spike in the price many European companies have to pay for carbon credits so they can burn fossil fuels.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the energy crunch is supporting oil prices, which hit seven-year highs in the United States this week. Bank of America recently predicted that a cold winter could push the price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, past $100 per barrel. Prices haven't been that high since 2014.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1bcd17c239a923accbcb947fe0ffa5b5\" tg-width=\"829\" tg-height=\"585\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Jim Burkhard, who leads IHS Markit's research on crude oil, energy and mobility, said there's \"no immediate relief in sight.\"</p>\n<p>\"There's no Saudi Arabia for gas,\" he said, referring to a single supplier that can quickly ramp up natural gas production. \"This looks like it's going to endure for the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.\"</p>\n<p>Russia could theoretically step up. Société Générale noted that faster approval by German authorities of the politically-sensitive Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would carry gas directly from Russia to Europe, would ease significant stress.</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that Russia could increase its output, saying that state-owned gas giant Gazprom has never \"refused to increase supplies to its consumers if they submit appropriate bids.\"</p>\n<p>But Neil Chapman, senior vice president at ExxonMobil (XOM), emphasized the short-term constraints at an industry conference this week.</p>\n<p>\"Of course there's great concern,\" Chapman said at the virtual Energy Intelligence Forum. \"In our industry, because it's capital intensive, you can't just turn on the supply.\"</p>\n<p><b>Crisis with a cost</b></p>\n<p>The best case scenario, according to Burkhard, is that a winter with average temperatures allows pressure to lift in the second quarter of 2022.</p>\n<p>But severe weather in the coming months would create huge strain — particularly in countries that rely heavily on natural gas for energy production, like Italy and the United Kingdom. Britain is in a particularly tough spot because it lacks storage capacity, and is dealing with the fallout from a broken power line with France.</p>\n<p>\"The UK is arguably at the highest risk of Europe's major economies of a winter supply shortfall,\" Henning Gloystein, director of the energy, climate and resource team at consultancy Eurasia Group, said in a note to clients this week. \"Should this happen, the government would likely demand factories to reduce output and gas consumption in order to ensure household supply.\"</p>\n<p>The massive jump in energy costs, which shows no signs of abating, is fanning inflation fears, which already had been forcing policymakers to carefully consider their next steps.</p>\n<p>Energy prices in developed countries rose 18% in August, the fastest pace since 2008, according to data released Tuesday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. And that was before the situation deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.</p>\n<p>Higher energy bills could crimp consumer spending on clothing or activities like dining out, hurting the comeback from the pandemic. If businesses are asked to curtail activity to conserve power, that could also hurt the economy.</p>\n<p>\"There are concerns that rising gas prices will put Europe's post-pandemic economic recovery at risk,\" Gloystein said.</p>\n<p>There's also anxiety that price volatility could feed public skepticism about funding for the energy transition, according to Gloystein, should consumers demand more investment in oil and gas to limit future fluctuations.</p>\n<p>Governments that have committed to reducing emissions are preemptively trying to send a firm message: This bolsters, not undermines, the case for investing in a broader mix of energy sources.</p>\n<p>\"It's very clear that with energy in the long term, it is important to invest in renewables,\" European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday. \"That gives us stable prices and more independence, because 90% of the gas is imported to the European Union.\"</p>\n<p>— James Frater, Laura He, Katharina Krebs and Diksha Madhok contributed reporting.</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>A global energy crisis is coming.

Skyrocketing coal costs. Predictions of $100 oil.\nA global energy crunch caused by weather and a resurgence in demand is getting worse, stirring alarm ahead of the winter, when more energy is needed to light and heat homes. Governments around the world are trying to limit the impact on consumers, but acknowledge they may not be able to prevent bills spiking.\nFurther complicating the picture is mounting pressure on governments to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy as world leaders prepare for a critical climate summit in November.\nIn China, rolling blackouts for residents have already begun, while in India power stations are scrambling for coal. Consumer advocates in Europe are calling for a ban on disconnections if customers can't promptly settle what they owe.\n\"This price shock is an unexpected crisis at a critical juncture,\" EU energy chief Kadri Simson said Wednesday, confirming the bloc will outline its longer-term policy response next week. \"The immediate priority should be to mitigate social impacts and protect vulnerable households.\"\nIn Europe, natural gas is now trading at the equivalent of $230 per barrel, in oil terms — up more than 130% since the beginning of September and more than eight times higher than the same point last year, according to data from Independent Commodity Intelligence Services.\nIn East Asia, the cost of natural gas is up 85% since the start of September, hitting roughly $204 per barrel in oil terms. Prices remain much lower in the United States, a net exporter of natural gas, but still have shot up to their highest levels in 13 years.\n\"A lot of it is feeding off of fear about what the winter's going to look like,\" said Nikos Tsafos, an energy and geopolitics expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank. He thinks that anxiety has caused the market to break away from the fundamentals of supply and demand.\nThe frenzy to secure natural gas is also pushing up the price of coal and oil, which can be used as substitutes in some cases, but are even worse for the climate. India, which remains extremely dependent on coal, said this week that as many as 63 of its 135 coal-fired power plants have two days or less of supplies.\nThe circumstances are causing central banks and investors to worry. Rising energy prices are contributing to inflation, which already was a major concern as the global economy tries to shake off the lingering effects of Covid-19. Dynamics over the winter could make matters worse.\nNo easy solution\nThe crisis is rooted in soaring demand for energy as the economic recovery from the pandemic takes hold, and a carefully calibrated system that's easily disrupted by weather events or mechanical problems.\nAn unusually long and cold winter earlier this year depleted stocks of natural gas in Europe. Soaring demand for energy has impeded the restocking process, which typically happens over the spring and summer.\nChina's growing appetite for liquified natural gas has meant LNG markets can't fill the gap. A decline in Russian gas exports and unusually calm winds have exacerbated the problem.\n\"The current surge in European energy power prices is truly unique,\" energy analysts at the Société Générale bank told clients this week. \"Never before have power prices risen so far, so fast. And we are only a few days into autumn — temperatures are still mild.\"\nThe dynamics are reverberating globally. In the United States, natural gas prices have risen 47% since the beginning of August. The scramble for coal is also triggering a spike in the price many European companies have to pay for carbon credits so they can burn fossil fuels.\nAdditionally, the energy crunch is supporting oil prices, which hit seven-year highs in the United States this week. Bank of America recently predicted that a cold winter could push the price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, past $100 per barrel. Prices haven't been that high since 2014.\n\nJim Burkhard, who leads IHS Markit's research on crude oil, energy and mobility, said there's \"no immediate relief in sight.\"\n\"There's no Saudi Arabia for gas,\" he said, referring to a single supplier that can quickly ramp up natural gas production. \"This looks like it's going to endure for the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.\"\nRussia could theoretically step up. Société Générale noted that faster approval by German authorities of the politically-sensitive Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would carry gas directly from Russia to Europe, would ease significant stress.\nOn Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that Russia could increase its output, saying that state-owned gas giant Gazprom has never \"refused to increase supplies to its consumers if they submit appropriate bids.\"\nBut Neil Chapman, senior vice president at ExxonMobil (XOM), emphasized the short-term constraints at an industry conference this week.\n\"Of course there's great concern,\" Chapman said at the virtual Energy Intelligence Forum. \"In our industry, because it's capital intensive, you can't just turn on the supply.\"\nCrisis with a cost\nThe best case scenario, according to Burkhard, is that a winter with average temperatures allows pressure to lift in the second quarter of 2022.\nBut severe weather in the coming months would create huge strain — particularly in countries that rely heavily on natural gas for energy production, like Italy and the United Kingdom. Britain is in a particularly tough spot because it lacks storage capacity, and is dealing with the fallout from a broken power line with France.\n\"The UK is arguably at the highest risk of Europe's major economies of a winter supply shortfall,\" Henning Gloystein, director of the energy, climate and resource team at consultancy Eurasia Group, said in a note to clients this week. \"Should this happen, the government would likely demand factories to reduce output and gas consumption in order to ensure household supply.\"\nThe massive jump in energy costs, which shows no signs of abating, is fanning inflation fears, which already had been forcing policymakers to carefully consider their next steps.\nEnergy prices in developed countries rose 18% in August, the fastest pace since 2008, according to data released Tuesday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. And that was before the situation deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.\nHigher energy bills could crimp consumer spending on clothing or activities like dining out, hurting the comeback from the pandemic. If businesses are asked to curtail activity to conserve power, that could also hurt the economy.\n\"There are concerns that rising gas prices will put Europe's post-pandemic economic recovery at risk,\" Gloystein said.\nThere's also anxiety that price volatility could feed public skepticism about funding for the energy transition, according to Gloystein, should consumers demand more investment in oil and gas to limit future fluctuations.\nGovernments that have committed to reducing emissions are preemptively trying to send a firm message: This bolsters, not undermines, the case for investing in a broader mix of energy sources.\n\"It's very clear that with energy in the long term, it is important to invest in renewables,\" European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday. \"That gives us stable prices and more independence, because 90% of the gas is imported to the European Union.\"\n— James Frater, Laura He, Katharina Krebs and Diksha Madhok contributed reporting.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":803,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":862125049,"gmtCreate":1632845694662,"gmtModify":1632845694662,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Fifa","listText":"Fifa","text":"Fifa","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/862125049","repostId":"1112583450","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112583450","pubTimestamp":1632842868,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1112583450?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-28 23:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Electronic Arts: Strong Fundamentals Continue Amid Dip Buying Opportunity","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112583450","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nElectronic Arts Fiscal Q1 results were solid compared to a strong 2020 period.\nEA recently ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Electronic Arts Fiscal Q1 results were solid compared to a strong 2020 period.</li>\n <li>EA recently delayed its big fall release Battlefield 2042, but the move provides a strong buying opportunity.</li>\n <li>EA has strengthened its mobile gaming talent over the past year and has a stronger pipeline for mobile revenue than ever.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc8344f36d2d49a7e957c065340be2cb\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>Electronic Arts (EA) is a household name with great fundamentals. 70%+ long-term margins and stable revenue streams have led to strong shareholder returns over time. The stock has underperformed since mid-2018 but now the gaming companies are being priced near value stock levels. They have recently had a significant dip in the stock price, due to the delay of their big release of the year, Battlefield 2042 to November 19th. This is giving a great entry point into EA stock, with most of those sales still able to be captured with a later release date. EA has a great technical setup with the stock pushing near its all-time high of $148.97 several times in 2021 since first reaching the level in mid-2018. As you can see below, revenue has increased significantly to 5.7B in the past year, with 2022 GAAP revenue guidance at $6.8 Billion, yet the stock is still consolidating since mid-2018. This gives potential for an outsized move upwards when those highs are broken. Higher lows have been encouraging and this may be the last significant 15%+ dip before breaking out to all-time highs.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7506972cadc0be0701c77d20ad10d4ff\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"447\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Great Fiscal Q1</b></p>\n<p>Electronic Arts had a strong Fiscal Q1, even with comparison to a very strong 2020 period. Net bookings which are the most accurate indicator of business performance were up 3% over the prior year to $6.136 Billion USD. Guidance for 2022 was to $7.4 Billion in billings - or 20.6% growth. Revenue follows billings so we will see Revenue and earnings flow through next year from the strong results of late. The sports franchises of Madden, NHL, and especially FIFA continue to lead the way for EA with consistent performance. The sports franchises had a combined 140 million players in the past year, with over 31 million playing the newest FIFA 2021 iteration. Sports are predictable and popular games, something that adds stability to revenue and earnings over time. FUT matches are still growing at a strong pace with 48% growth over last year in Q1. Battlefield's delay may hurt the billings number as some sales will be lost to competitors such as Call of Duty Vanguard from Activision Blizzard (ATVI). However, game delays in recent years have not negatively impacted sales much for those titles. These delays due to tough deadlines are very commonplace in the industry and I believe the negative reaction in EA stock on a one-month delay is overdone. All the while, Apex Legends has seen a resurgence with many players going back to the game and it proved to be a more lasting title than many had expected. The game actually had the most players ever in the recent season, impressive for a game that has been out for several years now.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/63da6c1ee87d6951184b6ba11ea0ab01\" tg-width=\"382\" tg-height=\"421\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>As you can see above, the fiscal year billings growth has been lumpy but overall, I expect high single digits to low double digits growth over time. The increase to FY 2021 was at least partially due to the coronavirus, although the environment continues to be very supportive there. Restrictions on travel and other entertainment worldwide continue to be a significant tailwind on gaming hours played. Live services which include microtransactions and game passes continue to become a larger part of EA's business. FIFA's success is a big portion of this, and EA announces 4 seasons for Battlefield 2042 per year with passes to purchase. This should give a solid income stream for the years after the game's release. The announced Battlefield Portal allowing people to create new maps using old releases seems great to foster engagement in paid season passes. The new Hazard Zone mode adds additional content as well with an Escape from Tarkov-like squad survival scenario. One thing is clear - EA put more effort into Battlefield 2042 and keeping it interesting for 2+ years than the past few series titles. EA confirmed it would be an every other year release, with things like Battlefield Portal likely working with multiple releases. These, plus the new mobile Battlefield game that's to come, make me more bullish for the future to take some share from Call of Duty. Some investors may be worried about the $7.4 Billion billings number for Fiscal 2022 with the game delay, but matching that bar should give the stock a very significant boost over the next 12 months.</p>\n<p>The company does also have a significant share buyback program which is helping to support the stock during any dips. EA bought back 976 million in stock over the past year - just under 3% of the total market cap of 36 Billion US. Expect more significant buyback activity in the coming weeks with the stock having dipped again due to the Battlefield 2042 delay. EA also pays a small dividend at 17 cents per quarter. While this is a yield of around 0.5%, it can grow significantly over time and shows the ongoing commitment to shareholders by the management team.</p>\n<p><b>Continued Growth in Mobile</b></p>\n<p>EA has continued to try to catch up to its competition like Activision Blizzard in the mobile area. EA had already purchased Glu Mobile earlier this year to expand their growing stable of casual mobile games. Now, EA recently completed the purchase of Playdemic for 1.4 Billion, the makers of golf clash. According to Sensor Tower, during the strong pandemic period,Golf Clash did an impressive $132.8 million USD of revenue. 10x sales is a reasonable price to pay for a game that has a very strong and growing userbase and a talented team behind it. EA is thinking long term with Playdemic likely to work on other IP from EA's stable in the coming years. They hinted on the conference call at a global Madden or FIFA mobile game where they have the license already - a tantalizing thought for investors. Mobile is growing for EA with 16% growth over 2019 levels in 2021, but they continue to invest heavily in this area. Casual games have a very long tail and are among the most profitable due to the lower operating expenses associated with the game creation. EA has also announced they are making a mobile game for the popular Apex Legends Battle Royale game, as well as the beforementioned one for Battlefield. This is likely after having seen Activision succeed with its mobile Call of Duty game, and the fact they haven't monetized many franchises in mobile yet. This is a chance for EA to really grow mobile as a portion of the business, with it only representing 13.5% of bookings over the last year. However, the growth rate for mobile will accelerate with it at 20% in Fiscal Q1 and likely to provide a big boost in coming years.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>The recent dip is an excellent buying opportunity for those that don't own any EA stock. The stock has been pushing against its all-time high level near 150, and when it breaks through to the upside should see significant gains. It is trading at a very inexpensive 16x Forward P/E - giving it near value stock status in the current market. Any additional lockdowns or restrictions would be bullish for EA as well, as many young people continue to spend heavily on gaming. EA has set itself up well for the long term, by focusing on their weakness in the mobile category with acquisitions and use of existing IP. Mobile is an area where EA has significantly lagged its major competition, but the moves made in 2021 will pay big dividends in future years - with shareholders likely to benefit.</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>Electronic Arts: Strong Fundamentals Continue Amid Dip Buying 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\">\nElectronic Arts: Strong Fundamentals Continue Amid Dip Buying Opportunity\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-28 23:27 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457473-electronic-arts-strong-fundamentals-continue-amid-dip-buying-opportunity><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nElectronic Arts Fiscal Q1 results were solid compared to a strong 2020 period.\nEA recently delayed its big fall release Battlefield 2042, but the move provides a strong buying opportunity.\nEA...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457473-electronic-arts-strong-fundamentals-continue-amid-dip-buying-opportunity\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"EA":"艺电"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457473-electronic-arts-strong-fundamentals-continue-amid-dip-buying-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1112583450","content_text":"Summary\n\nElectronic Arts Fiscal Q1 results were solid compared to a strong 2020 period.\nEA recently delayed its big fall release Battlefield 2042, but the move provides a strong buying opportunity.\nEA has strengthened its mobile gaming talent over the past year and has a stronger pipeline for mobile revenue than ever.\n\nSundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nElectronic Arts (EA) is a household name with great fundamentals. 70%+ long-term margins and stable revenue streams have led to strong shareholder returns over time.

Decliners outweighed advancers 280 to 188, after 1.2 billion securities worth some S$1.5 billion were traded.\nOanda senior market analyst Jeffrey Halley said that on the whole, the Omicron coronavirus variant \"has not caused the global economy to blink yet\", but China's problems are still of concern.\n\"That appears to be because the world is fed up with lockdowns and restrictions, rather than the virus itself. The news from China continues to concern, however. The bottom-pickers buy recommendations are flowing thick and fast on China property companies,\" he said.\nOn the local bourse, DBS was the top advancer for the second consecutive day. The stock added 0.3 per cent or S$0.11 to S$32.44.\nA few \"pandemic plays\" - local glovemakers and healthcare-related counters - were also among the biggest gainers.\nTop Glove was up 6.1 per cent or S$0.04 to S$0.70; Medtecs International gained 13.1 per cent or S$0.04 to S$0.345, while UG Healthcare rose 14.3 per cent or S$0.04 to S$0.32. Riverstone, too, rose 3.7 per cent or S$0.025 to S$0.695.\nThinly-traded Shangri-La Asia was the biggest loser of the day, falling 8.6 per cent or HK$0.58 to HK$6.19. Two members of the Jardine group of companies were also among the top decliners. Jardine Cycle and Carriag fell 1.8 per cent or S$0.38 to S$20.82, while Jardine Matheson Holdings lost 0.6 per cent or US$0.32 to US$55.33.\nQT Vascular was the most heavily traded stock on Friday, with some 124.1 million shares changing hands. The counter closed at S$0.005, down 16.7 per cent or S$0.001.\nOther heavily traded counters were Disa Limited, Singtel and ComfortDelGro .\nAcross Asia, markets ended the day mixed. The KLCI was up 1.2 per cent; the Kospi rose 0.4 per cent, and the Jakarta Composite Index added 0.1 per cent.

The stock has underperformed since mid-2018 but now the gaming companies are being priced near value stock levels. They have recently had a significant dip in the stock price, due to the delay of their big release of the year, Battlefield 2042 to November 19th. This is giving a great entry point into EA stock, with most of those sales still able to be captured with a later release date.

As you can see below, revenue has increased significantly to 5.7B in the past year, with 2022 GAAP revenue guidance at $6.8 Billion, yet the stock is still consolidating since mid-2018. This gives potential for an outsized move upwards when those highs are broken. Higher lows have been encouraging and this may be the last significant 15%+ dip before breaking out to all-time highs.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7506972cadc0be0701c77d20ad10d4ff\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"447\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Great Fiscal Q1</b></p>\n<p>Electronic Arts had a strong Fiscal Q1, even with comparison to a very strong 2020 period. Net bookings which are the most accurate indicator of business performance were up 3% over the prior year to $6.136 Billion USD. Guidance for 2022 was to $7.4 Billion in billings - or 20.6% growth. Revenue follows billings so we will see Revenue and earnings flow through next year from the strong results of late. The sports franchises of Madden, NHL, and especially FIFA continue to lead the way for EA with consistent performance. The sports franchises had a combined 140 million players in the past year, with over 31 million playing the newest FIFA 2021 iteration. Sports are predictable and popular games, something that adds stability to revenue and earnings over time. FUT matches are still growing at a strong pace with 48% growth over last year in Q1. Battlefield's delay may hurt the billings number as some sales will be lost to competitors such as Call of Duty Vanguard from Activision Blizzard (ATVI). However, game delays in recent years have not negatively impacted sales much for those titles. These delays due to tough deadlines are very commonplace in the industry and I believe the negative reaction in EA stock on a one-month delay is overdone. All the while, Apex Legends has seen a resurgence with many players going back to the game and it proved to be a more lasting title than many had expected. The game actually had the most players ever in the recent season, impressive for a game that has been out for several years now.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/63da6c1ee87d6951184b6ba11ea0ab01\" tg-width=\"382\" tg-height=\"421\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>As you can see above, the fiscal year billings growth has been lumpy but overall, I expect high single digits to low double digits growth over time. The increase to FY 2021 was at least partially due to the coronavirus, although the environment continues to be very supportive there. Restrictions on travel and other entertainment worldwide continue to be a significant tailwind on gaming hours played. Live services which include microtransactions and game passes continue to become a larger part of EA's business. FIFA's success is a big portion of this, and EA announces 4 seasons for Battlefield 2042 per year with passes to purchase. This should give a solid income stream for the years after the game's release. The announced Battlefield Portal allowing people to create new maps using old releases seems great to foster engagement in paid season passes. The new Hazard Zone mode adds additional content as well with an Escape from Tarkov-like squad survival scenario. One thing is clear - EA put more effort into Battlefield 2042 and keeping it interesting for 2+ years than the past few series titles. EA confirmed it would be an every other year release, with things like Battlefield Portal likely working with multiple releases. These, plus the new mobile Battlefield game that's to come, make me more bullish for the future to take some share from Call of Duty. Some investors may be worried about the $7.4 Billion billings number for Fiscal 2022 with the game delay, but matching that bar should give the stock a very significant boost over the next 12 months.</p>\n<p>The company does also have a significant share buyback program which is helping to support the stock during any dips. EA bought back 976 million in stock over the past year - just under 3% of the total market cap of 36 Billion US. Expect more significant buyback activity in the coming weeks with the stock having dipped again due to the Battlefield 2042 delay. EA also pays a small dividend at 17 cents per quarter. While this is a yield of around 0.5%, it can grow significantly over time and shows the ongoing commitment to shareholders by the management team.</p>\n<p><b>Continued Growth in Mobile</b></p>\n<p>EA has continued to try to catch up to its competition like Activision Blizzard in the mobile area. EA had already purchased Glu Mobile earlier this year to expand their growing stable of casual mobile games. Now, EA recently completed the purchase of Playdemic for 1.4 Billion, the makers of golf clash. According to Sensor Tower, during the strong pandemic period,Golf Clash did an impressive $132.8 million USD of revenue. 10x sales is a reasonable price to pay for a game that has a very strong and growing userbase and a talented team behind it. EA is thinking long term with Playdemic likely to work on other IP from EA's stable in the coming years. They hinted on the conference call at a global Madden or FIFA mobile game where they have the license already - a tantalizing thought for investors. Mobile is growing for EA with 16% growth over 2019 levels in 2021, but they continue to invest heavily in this area. Casual games have a very long tail and are among the most profitable due to the lower operating expenses associated with the game creation. EA has also announced they are making a mobile game for the popular Apex Legends Battle Royale game, as well as the beforementioned one for Battlefield. This is likely after having seen Activision succeed with its mobile Call of Duty game, and the fact they haven't monetized many franchises in mobile yet. This is a chance for EA to really grow mobile as a portion of the business, with it only representing 13.5% of bookings over the last year. However, the growth rate for mobile will accelerate with it at 20% in Fiscal Q1 and likely to provide a big boost in coming years.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>The recent dip is an excellent buying opportunity for those that don't own any EA stock. The stock has been pushing against its all-time high level near 150, and when it breaks through to the upside should see significant gains. It is trading at a very inexpensive 16x Forward P/E - giving it near value stock status in the current market. Any additional lockdowns or restrictions would be bullish for EA as well, as many young people continue to spend heavily on gaming. EA has set itself up well for the long term, by focusing on their weakness in the mobile category with acquisitions and use of existing IP. Mobile is an area where EA has significantly lagged its major competition, but the moves made in 2021 will pay big dividends in future years - with shareholders likely to benefit.</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>Electronic Arts: Strong Fundamentals Continue Amid Dip Buying 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\">\nElectronic Arts: Strong Fundamentals Continue Amid Dip Buying Opportunity\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-28 23:27 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457473-electronic-arts-strong-fundamentals-continue-amid-dip-buying-opportunity><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nElectronic Arts Fiscal Q1 results were solid compared to a strong 2020 period.\nEA recently delayed its big fall release Battlefield 2042, but the move provides a strong buying opportunity.\nEA...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457473-electronic-arts-strong-fundamentals-continue-amid-dip-buying-opportunity\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"EA":"艺电"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457473-electronic-arts-strong-fundamentals-continue-amid-dip-buying-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1112583450","content_text":"Summary\n\nElectronic Arts Fiscal Q1 results were solid compared to a strong 2020 period.\nEA recently delayed its big fall release Battlefield 2042, but the move provides a strong buying opportunity.\nEA has strengthened its mobile gaming talent over the past year and has a stronger pipeline for mobile revenue than ever.\n\nSundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nElectronic Arts (EA) is a household name with great fundamentals. 70%+ long-term margins and stable revenue streams have led to strong shareholder returns over time.

Some investors may be worried about the $7.4 Billion billings number for Fiscal 2022 with the game delay, but matching that bar should give the stock a very significant boost over the next 12 months.\nThe company does also have a significant share buyback program which is helping to support the stock during any dips. EA bought back 976 million in stock over the past year - just under 3% of the total market cap of 36 Billion US. Expect more significant buyback activity in the coming weeks with the stock having dipped again due to the Battlefield 2042 delay. EA also pays a small dividend at 17 cents per quarter. While this is a yield of around 0.5%, it can grow significantly over time and shows the ongoing commitment to shareholders by the management team.\nContinued Growth in Mobile\nEA has continued to try to catch up to its competition like Activision Blizzard in the mobile area. EA had already purchased Glu Mobile earlier this year to expand their growing stable of casual mobile games. Now, EA recently completed the purchase of Playdemic for 1.4 Billion, the makers of golf clash. According to Sensor Tower, during the strong pandemic period,Golf Clash did an impressive $132.8 million USD of revenue. 10x sales is a reasonable price to pay for a game that has a very strong and growing userbase and a talented team behind it. EA is thinking long term with Playdemic likely to work on other IP from EA's stable in the coming years. They hinted on the conference call at a global Madden or FIFA mobile game where they have the license already - a tantalizing thought for investors. Mobile is growing for EA with 16% growth over 2019 levels in 2021, but they continue to invest heavily in this area. Casual games have a very long tail and are among the most profitable due to the lower operating expenses associated with the game creation. EA has also announced they are making a mobile game for the popular Apex Legends Battle Royale game, as well as the beforementioned one for Battlefield. This is likely after having seen Activision succeed with its mobile Call of Duty game, and the fact they haven't monetized many franchises in mobile yet. This is a chance for EA to really grow mobile as a portion of the business, with it only representing 13.5% of bookings over the last year. However, the growth rate for mobile will accelerate with it at 20% in Fiscal Q1 and likely to provide a big boost in coming years.\nConclusion\nThe recent dip is an excellent buying opportunity for those that don't own any EA stock. The stock has been pushing against its all-time high level near 150, and when it breaks through to the upside should see significant gains. It is trading at a very inexpensive 16x Forward P/E - giving it near value stock status in the current market. Any additional lockdowns or restrictions would be bullish for EA as well, as many young people continue to spend heavily on gaming. EA has set itself up well for the long term, by focusing on their weakness in the mobile category with acquisitions and use of existing IP. Mobile is an area where EA has significantly lagged its major competition, but the moves made in 2021 will pay big dividends in future years - with shareholders likely to benefit.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":298,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":699984645,"gmtCreate":1639735941496,"gmtModify":1639735941587,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Exactly","listText":"Exactly","text":"Exactly","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/699984645","repostId":"1154435289","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154435289","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1639733312,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1154435289?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-17 17:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Stocks To Watch For December 17, 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1154435289","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are:\n\nWall Street expects Darden Restaurants, ","content":"<p>Some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Wall Street expects <b>Darden Restaurants, Inc.</b> to report quarterly earnings at $1.44 per share on revenue of $2.23 billion before the opening bell.

If those areas of value extend to widely used products like Teams, Microsoft could have a better position in the metaverse than investors think.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":557,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":859193653,"gmtCreate":1634662817384,"gmtModify":1634695410230,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Might tank likely","listText":"Might tank likely","text":"Might tank likely","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/859193653","repostId":"1159487757","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159487757","pubTimestamp":1634656655,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1159487757?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-19 23:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto stocks quickly reverse lower as bitcoin erases some gains","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159487757","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"A large basket of crypto stocks including Marathon Digital(NASDAQ:MARA), Hut 8 Mining(NASDAQ:HUT), B","content":"<p>A large basket of crypto stocks including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MPC\">Marathon</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DLR\">Digital</a>(NASDAQ:MARA), Hut 8 Mining(NASDAQ:HUT), Bitfarms(NASDAQ:BITF), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTR\">MicroStrategy</a>(NASDAQ:MSTR), slide into negative territory on Monday as bitcoin (BTC-USD) attempts to break out of mid-April levels, but quickly reverses lower to a trough of $61.7K before recovering back over $63K.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is slightly up on the day, up nearly 9% in the past five sessions, and +430% Y/Y, as per thechartbelow.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74d4a25a5b2d34f98bb3892e66be7712\" tg-width=\"1625\" tg-height=\"562\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Perhaps the rapid rise and fall of bitcoin (BTC-USD) intra-day is likely attributed to the much-awaited <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BITO\">ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF</a> (BITO), which is highly correlated with the price of BTC, starting trading on the same day.</p>\n<p>This is considered a big deal in the crypto community because it's the first bitcoin (BTC-USD) ETF that has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission to get listed as a publicly traded security;

He thinks that anxiety has caused the market to break away from the fundamentals of supply and demand.</p>\n<p>The frenzy to secure natural gas is also pushing up the price of coal and oil, which can be used as substitutes in some cases, but are even worse for the climate. India, which remains extremely dependent on coal, said this week that as many as 63 of its 135 coal-fired power plants have two days or less of supplies.</p>\n<p>The circumstances are causing central banks and investors to worry. Rising energy prices are contributing to inflation, which already was a major concern as the global economy tries to shake off the lingering effects of Covid-19. Dynamics over the winter could make matters worse.</p>\n<p><b>No easy solution</b></p>\n<p>The crisis is rooted in soaring demand for energy as the economic recovery from the pandemic takes hold, and a carefully calibrated system that's easily disrupted by weather events or mechanical problems.</p>\n<p>An unusually long and cold winter earlier this year depleted stocks of natural gas in Europe. Soaring demand for energy has impeded the restocking process, which typically happens over the spring and summer.</p>\n<p>China's growing appetite for liquified natural gas has meant LNG markets can't fill the gap. A decline in Russian gas exports and unusually calm winds have exacerbated the problem.</p>\n<p>\"The current surge in European energy power prices is truly unique,\" energy analysts at the Société Générale bank told clients this week. \"Never before have power prices risen so far, so fast. And we are only a few days into autumn — temperatures are still mild.\"</p>\n<p>The dynamics are reverberating globally. In the United States, natural gas prices have risen 47% since the beginning of August. The scramble for coal is also triggering a spike in the price many European companies have to pay for carbon credits so they can burn fossil fuels.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the energy crunch is supporting oil prices, which hit seven-year highs in the United States this week. Bank of America recently predicted that a cold winter could push the price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, past $100 per barrel. Prices haven't been that high since 2014.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1bcd17c239a923accbcb947fe0ffa5b5\" tg-width=\"829\" tg-height=\"585\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Jim Burkhard, who leads IHS Markit's research on crude oil, energy and mobility, said there's \"no immediate relief in sight.\"</p>\n<p>\"There's no Saudi Arabia for gas,\" he said, referring to a single supplier that can quickly ramp up natural gas production. \"This looks like it's going to endure for the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.\"</p>\n<p>Russia could theoretically step up. Société Générale noted that faster approval by German authorities of the politically-sensitive Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would carry gas directly from Russia to Europe, would ease significant stress.</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that Russia could increase its output, saying that state-owned gas giant Gazprom has never \"refused to increase supplies to its consumers if they submit appropriate bids.\"</p>\n<p>But Neil Chapman, senior vice president at ExxonMobil (XOM), emphasized the short-term constraints at an industry conference this week.</p>\n<p>\"Of course there's great concern,\" Chapman said at the virtual Energy Intelligence Forum. \"In our industry, because it's capital intensive, you can't just turn on the supply.\"</p>\n<p><b>Crisis with a cost</b></p>\n<p>The best case scenario, according to Burkhard, is that a winter with average temperatures allows pressure to lift in the second quarter of 2022.</p>\n<p>But severe weather in the coming months would create huge strain — particularly in countries that rely heavily on natural gas for energy production, like Italy and the United Kingdom. Britain is in a particularly tough spot because it lacks storage capacity, and is dealing with the fallout from a broken power line with France.</p>\n<p>\"The UK is arguably at the highest risk of Europe's major economies of a winter supply shortfall,\" Henning Gloystein, director of the energy, climate and resource team at consultancy Eurasia Group, said in a note to clients this week. \"Should this happen, the government would likely demand factories to reduce output and gas consumption in order to ensure household supply.\"</p>\n<p>The massive jump in energy costs, which shows no signs of abating, is fanning inflation fears, which already had been forcing policymakers to carefully consider their next steps.</p>\n<p>Energy prices in developed countries rose 18% in August, the fastest pace since 2008, according to data released Tuesday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. And that was before the situation deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.</p>\n<p>Higher energy bills could crimp consumer spending on clothing or activities like dining out, hurting the comeback from the pandemic. If businesses are asked to curtail activity to conserve power, that could also hurt the economy.</p>\n<p>\"There are concerns that rising gas prices will put Europe's post-pandemic economic recovery at risk,\" Gloystein said.</p>\n<p>There's also anxiety that price volatility could feed public skepticism about funding for the energy transition, according to Gloystein, should consumers demand more investment in oil and gas to limit future fluctuations.</p>\n<p>Governments that have committed to reducing emissions are preemptively trying to send a firm message: This bolsters, not undermines, the case for investing in a broader mix of energy sources.</p>\n<p>\"It's very clear that with energy in the long term, it is important to invest in renewables,\" European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday. \"That gives us stable prices and more independence, because 90% of the gas is imported to the European Union.\"</p>\n<p>— James Frater, Laura He, Katharina Krebs and Diksha Madhok contributed reporting.</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>A global energy crisis is coming.

Dynamics over the winter could make matters worse.\nNo easy solution\nThe crisis is rooted in soaring demand for energy as the economic recovery from the pandemic takes hold, and a carefully calibrated system that's easily disrupted by weather events or mechanical problems.\nAn unusually long and cold winter earlier this year depleted stocks of natural gas in Europe. Soaring demand for energy has impeded the restocking process, which typically happens over the spring and summer.\nChina's growing appetite for liquified natural gas has meant LNG markets can't fill the gap. A decline in Russian gas exports and unusually calm winds have exacerbated the problem.\n\"The current surge in European energy power prices is truly unique,\" energy analysts at the Société Générale bank told clients this week. \"Never before have power prices risen so far, so fast. And we are only a few days into autumn — temperatures are still mild.\"\nThe dynamics are reverberating globally. In the United States, natural gas prices have risen 47% since the beginning of August. The scramble for coal is also triggering a spike in the price many European companies have to pay for carbon credits so they can burn fossil fuels.\nAdditionally, the energy crunch is supporting oil prices, which hit seven-year highs in the United States this week. Bank of America recently predicted that a cold winter could push the price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, past $100 per barrel. Prices haven't been that high since 2014.\n\nJim Burkhard, who leads IHS Markit's research on crude oil, energy and mobility, said there's \"no immediate relief in sight.\"\n\"There's no Saudi Arabia for gas,\" he said, referring to a single supplier that can quickly ramp up natural gas production. \"This looks like it's going to endure for the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.\"\nRussia could theoretically step up. Société Générale noted that faster approval by German authorities of the politically-sensitive Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would carry gas directly from Russia to Europe, would ease significant stress.\nOn Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that Russia could increase its output, saying that state-owned gas giant Gazprom has never \"refused to increase supplies to its consumers if they submit appropriate bids.\"\nBut Neil Chapman, senior vice president at ExxonMobil (XOM), emphasized the short-term constraints at an industry conference this week.\n\"Of course there's great concern,\" Chapman said at the virtual Energy Intelligence Forum. \"In our industry, because it's capital intensive, you can't just turn on the supply.\"\nCrisis with a cost\nThe best case scenario, according to Burkhard, is that a winter with average temperatures allows pressure to lift in the second quarter of 2022.\nBut severe weather in the coming months would create huge strain — particularly in countries that rely heavily on natural gas for energy production, like Italy and the United Kingdom. Britain is in a particularly tough spot because it lacks storage capacity, and is dealing with the fallout from a broken power line with France.\n\"The UK is arguably at the highest risk of Europe's major economies of a winter supply shortfall,\" Henning Gloystein, director of the energy, climate and resource team at consultancy Eurasia Group, said in a note to clients this week. \"Should this happen, the government would likely demand factories to reduce output and gas consumption in order to ensure household supply.\"\nThe massive jump in energy costs, which shows no signs of abating, is fanning inflation fears, which already had been forcing policymakers to carefully consider their next steps.\nEnergy prices in developed countries rose 18% in August, the fastest pace since 2008, according to data released Tuesday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. And that was before the situation deteriorated significantly in recent weeks.\nHigher energy bills could crimp consumer spending on clothing or activities like dining out, hurting the comeback from the pandemic. If businesses are asked to curtail activity to conserve power, that could also hurt the economy.\n\"There are concerns that rising gas prices will put Europe's post-pandemic economic recovery at risk,\" Gloystein said.\nThere's also anxiety that price volatility could feed public skepticism about funding for the energy transition, according to Gloystein, should consumers demand more investment in oil and gas to limit future fluctuations.\nGovernments that have committed to reducing emissions are preemptively trying to send a firm message: This bolsters, not undermines, the case for investing in a broader mix of energy sources.\n\"It's very clear that with energy in the long term, it is important to invest in renewables,\" European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday. \"That gives us stable prices and more independence, because 90% of the gas is imported to the European Union.\"\n— James Frater, Laura He, Katharina Krebs and Diksha Madhok contributed reporting.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":803,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":848517135,"gmtCreate":1636012293745,"gmtModify":1636012293877,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like it like","listText":"Like it like","text":"Like it like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/848517135","repostId":"1176588625","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176588625","pubTimestamp":1636010158,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1176588625?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-04 15:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Activision Blizzard Stock Had Its Worst Day Since 2008.

(Z) is a digital real estate company which operates in three divisions. First, it operates its Internet, Media, and Technology (IMT) segment which produces revenue through Premier Agent or advertising revenues from agents. Second, the mortgage segment makes money by performing loan originations and reselling mortgages. The third segment, and largest segment by revenue, is the Homes segment, commonly known as Zillow Offers. In this segment the company purchases, fixes, and resells residential real estate. Zillow announced it will be winding this segment down completely during their Q3 earnings release. The wind-down includes an asset write-down of over $300M as well.</p>\n<p><b>So, how did we get here?</b></p>\n<p>In mid-October, Zillow paused this segment through at least the end of 2021.</p>\n<blockquote>\n We are beyond operational capacity in our Zillow Offers business and are not taking on additional contracts to purchase homes at this time...\"\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Company Spokesman per Seeking Alpha, courtesy Bloomberg.\n</blockquote>\n<p>This news had both positive and negative elements. First, on the positive side, it is obvious that the iBuying program is immensely popular. Zillow reported that 1% of homes in Q2 2021 used some type of iBuying program. This may not seem significant at just 1%, however considering the United States home sales market is expected to reach $2.5 <i>trillion</i> in 2021, this is a very big number indeed. I also considered it positive that Zillow recognized that they were becoming overextended and paused, rather than risking serious systemic issues that would hurt customers and damage their reputation.</p>\n<p>This has clear implications for competitors like Redfin (RDFN) and Opendoor (OPEN) to accumulate market share. The iBuying process is popular, but it must be managed correctly. I have seen no indication that they will cease their programs.</p>\n<p>Further, this could be a reflection that the red-hot market is cooling. Zillow may have many more sellers in line than buyers. While the secular demand trends are expected to be positive, as the country is short millions of homes, the short-term could get bumpy. Two days prior to this announcement, Redfin reported a drop in both homes sales, which dropped 9%, and new listings, which fell 5%.</p>\n<p>Other reasons for the pause, included macroeconomic issues that many businesses are currently facing. These include supply and labor shortages that have extended the process of reselling a home.</p>\n<blockquote>\n We're operating within a labor- and supply-constrained economy inside a competitive real estate market, especially in the construction, renovation and closing spaces...\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n \"Pausing new contracts will enable us to focus on sellers already under contract with us and our current home inventory,\"\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow CEO, in a statement.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Because of this, higher costs of renovations could significantly tighten margins. In fact, more than half of the homes recently purchased may be under water, as I will discuss below.</p>\n<p>Home prices had been on fire for the first half of this year when Zillow was a buyer. Now that the market is taking a breather, these homes are waiting for buyers and the prices are coming down. This is a serious risk that every iBuying company will face. And the risk is structural. Shown below, prices have inched down ever so slightly from the red-hot summer months. It is worrisome that Zillow has purchased in the summer, while prices were highest, and is now selling in the fall when the kids are back in school and the market has slowed.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92e59a7c8a0c8cf3531ea1972a7a8fd3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"447\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Zillow Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>This news caused nervous investors to accelerate the downtrend in the stock, fearing a structural difficulty that could linger. The stock fell nearly 10% total in the days around the announcement.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a78debfc71d8aac0b2eaeaf304fe5eb6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>However, cooler heads prevailed and the stock recovered somewhat thanks to a bullish hedge fund call which I discuss below. It is still stuck in a persistent downward trend since earlier this year, as shown below in the YTD chart.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ab979080dfdee8a0875705807f5c89b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>One positive note for the stock is the interest from hedge fund manager Gil Simon of SoMa Equity Partners who recommended the stock and sees a \"compelling\" long-term opportunity. As the stock price has been cut in half since February 2021 it is difficult not to see it as oversold. Especially as certain metrics begin to resemble those from before the pandemic. This bullish call was made after the \"pause\" announcement, but before the \"wind down\" announcement.</p>\n<p>At the same time, not all analysts were or are bullish. Bank of America cut its price target from $100 to $85 on October 28, 2021.</p>\n<p>Then, to start out November on a sour note, a KeyBanc analyst pointed to a study done by the firm that shows well over half the home scurrently listed are selling for<i>less</i>than the purchase price. This led to another selloff of more than 10% to open the month of November, pictured below. This looked to confirm some of the worst fears when the pause was implemented.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/859acfe9ed5bc2583e62ed965984227f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><b>Zillow Stock Forecast</b></p>\n<p>Q3 results are almost an afterthought at this point. There are some positives in the release, however. The IMT segment posted impressive revenue and EBITDA figures. The segment has grown revenues at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over 15% since 2018, or 52% total. Adjusted EBITDA in this segment has grown at a CAGR over 50% during this time and reached $836M for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021. This will be the key to success moving forward. Zillow also has the opportunity to focus on profitability moving forward rather than growth at any cost. The IMT segment is generally profitable, while the homebuying segment has been unprofitable historically. Mortgages have profit potential as well, having posted positive adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2021, albeit only $5M. It remains to be seen exactly how Zillow will move forward, but a focus on becoming cash-flow and EBITDA positive overall and the core business would be wise.</p>\n<p><b>Is Zillow Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</b></p>\n<p>Analysts have a gigantic spread in opinion on Zillow. Some have price targets at $145 while others have cut to just $85. The average target, according to Seeking Alpha's Wall St. Rating center is $98.50.

(Z) is a digital real estate company which operates in three divisions. First, it operates its Internet, Media, and Technology (IMT) segment which produces revenue through Premier Agent or advertising revenues from agents. Second, the mortgage segment makes money by performing loan originations and reselling mortgages. The third segment, and largest segment by revenue, is the Homes segment, commonly known as Zillow Offers. In this segment the company purchases, fixes, and resells residential real estate. Zillow announced it will be winding this segment down completely during their Q3 earnings release. The wind-down includes an asset write-down of over $300M as well.\nSo, how did we get here?\nIn mid-October, Zillow paused this segment through at least the end of 2021.\n\n We are beyond operational capacity in our Zillow Offers business and are not taking on additional contracts to purchase homes at this time...\"\n\n\n Company Spokesman per Seeking Alpha, courtesy Bloomberg.\n\nThis news had both positive and negative elements. First, on the positive side, it is obvious that the iBuying program is immensely popular. Zillow reported that 1% of homes in Q2 2021 used some type of iBuying program. This may not seem significant at just 1%, however considering the United States home sales market is expected to reach $2.5 trillion in 2021, this is a very big number indeed. I also considered it positive that Zillow recognized that they were becoming overextended and paused, rather than risking serious systemic issues that would hurt customers and damage their reputation.\nThis has clear implications for competitors like Redfin (RDFN) and Opendoor (OPEN) to accumulate market share. The iBuying process is popular, but it must be managed correctly. I have seen no indication that they will cease their programs.\nFurther, this could be a reflection that the red-hot market is cooling. Zillow may have many more sellers in line than buyers. While the secular demand trends are expected to be positive, as the country is short millions of homes, the short-term could get bumpy. Two days prior to this announcement, Redfin reported a drop in both homes sales, which dropped 9%, and new listings, which fell 5%.\nOther reasons for the pause, included macroeconomic issues that many businesses are currently facing. These include supply and labor shortages that have extended the process of reselling a home.\n\n We're operating within a labor- and supply-constrained economy inside a competitive real estate market, especially in the construction, renovation and closing spaces...\n\n\n \"Pausing new contracts will enable us to focus on sellers already under contract with us and our current home inventory,\"\n\n\n Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow CEO, in a statement.\n\nBecause of this, higher costs of renovations could significantly tighten margins. In fact, more than half of the homes recently purchased may be under water, as I will discuss below.\nHome prices had been on fire for the first half of this year when Zillow was a buyer. Now that the market is taking a breather, these homes are waiting for buyers and the prices are coming down. This is a serious risk that every iBuying company will face. And the risk is structural. Shown below, prices have inched down ever so slightly from the red-hot summer months. It is worrisome that Zillow has purchased in the summer, while prices were highest, and is now selling in the fall when the kids are back in school and the market has slowed.\nData by YCharts\nZillow Stock Price\nThis news caused nervous investors to accelerate the downtrend in the stock, fearing a structural difficulty that could linger. The stock fell nearly 10% total in the days around the announcement.\nData by YCharts\nHowever, cooler heads prevailed and the stock recovered somewhat thanks to a bullish hedge fund call which I discuss below. It is still stuck in a persistent downward trend since earlier this year, as shown below in the YTD chart.\nData by YCharts\nOne positive note for the stock is the interest from hedge fund manager Gil Simon of SoMa Equity Partners who recommended the stock and sees a \"compelling\" long-term opportunity. As the stock price has been cut in half since February 2021 it is difficult not to see it as oversold. Especially as certain metrics begin to resemble those from before the pandemic. This bullish call was made after the \"pause\" announcement, but before the \"wind down\" announcement.\nAt the same time, not all analysts were or are bullish. Bank of America cut its price target from $100 to $85 on October 28, 2021.\nThen, to start out November on a sour note, a KeyBanc analyst pointed to a study done by the firm that shows well over half the home scurrently listed are selling forlessthan the purchase price. This led to another selloff of more than 10% to open the month of November, pictured below. This looked to confirm some of the worst fears when the pause was implemented.\nData by YCharts\nZillow Stock Forecast\nQ3 results are almost an afterthought at this point. There are some positives in the release, however. The IMT segment posted impressive revenue and EBITDA figures. The segment has grown revenues at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over 15% since 2018, or 52% total. Adjusted EBITDA in this segment has grown at a CAGR over 50% during this time and reached $836M for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2021. This will be the key to success moving forward. Zillow also has the opportunity to focus on profitability moving forward rather than growth at any cost. The IMT segment is generally profitable, while the homebuying segment has been unprofitable historically. Mortgages have profit potential as well, having posted positive adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2021, albeit only $5M. It remains to be seen exactly how Zillow will move forward, but a focus on becoming cash-flow and EBITDA positive overall and the core business would be wise.\nIs Zillow Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?\nAnalysts have a gigantic spread in opinion on Zillow. Some have price targets at $145 while others have cut to just $85. The average target, according to Seeking Alpha's Wall St. Rating center is $98.50. There is much uncertainty after the announcement of the wind-down and we will likely see significant adjustments downward in the next several days.\nThis uncertainty may bring about an opportunity to invest while the stock is heavily beaten down, but the best opportunity is likely not today. There is a real danger that there is more bad news to come. The stock will also need to be rerated by analysts and the news digested by Wall Street. At this time Zillow is far too risky to initiate a position.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":426,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":699175037,"gmtCreate":1639761993629,"gmtModify":1639761993755,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"yeah","listText":"yeah","text":"yeah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/699175037","repostId":"690788585","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":690788585,"gmtCreate":1639709102331,"gmtModify":1639709956569,"author":{"id":"3527667596890271","authorId":"3527667596890271","name":"Buy_Sell","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5f0ed79a338c758a22e0b4ea13bf9d2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"title":"🔥【12月17日】大型科技股全线下挫!今天什么值得买?","htmlText":"聊聊今日份的交易想法,包括对于大盘走势后续的看法?看涨/看跌哪只股票、晒晒单等等。 港股市场 12月17日讯,港股三大指数低开,恒指跌0.05%,国指跌0.41%,恒生科技指数跌0.8%。 盘面上,隔夜美股科技股重挫,港股大型科技股集体低开,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09988\">$阿里巴巴-SW(09988)$</a> 、<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09999\">$网易-S(09999)$</a> 跌超2%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00700\">$腾讯控股(00700)$</a> 跌超1%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09888\">$百度集团-SW(09888)$</a> 、<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09618\">$京东集团-SW(09618)$</a> 等皆有跌幅;保险股、乳制品股、光伏股、体育用品股普跌,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/06186\">$中国飞鹤(06186)$</a> 大跌近10%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00968\">$信义光能(00968)$</a> 跌超4%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/02318\">$中国平安(02318)$</a> 跌超3%,近期强势的电力股多数低开,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00916\">$龙源电力(00916)$</a> 跌超2%;另一方面,生物技术股再度集体反弹,美国商务部制裁名单不涉及医药公司;医药股走高,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09688\">$再鼎医药-SB(09688)$</a> 涨近","listText":"聊聊今日份的交易想法,包括对于大盘走势后续的看法?看涨/看跌哪只股票、晒晒单等等。 港股市场 12月17日讯,港股三大指数低开,恒指跌0.05%,国指跌0.41%,恒生科技指数跌0.8%。 盘面上,隔夜美股科技股重挫,港股大型科技股集体低开,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09988\">$阿里巴巴-SW(09988)$</a> 、<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09999\">$网易-S(09999)$</a> 跌超2%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00700\">$腾讯控股(00700)$</a> 跌超1%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09888\">$百度集团-SW(09888)$</a> 、<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09618\">$京东集团-SW(09618)$</a> 等皆有跌幅;保险股、乳制品股、光伏股、体育用品股普跌,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/06186\">$中国飞鹤(06186)$</a> 大跌近10%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00968\">$信义光能(00968)$</a> 跌超4%,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/02318\">$中国平安(02318)$</a> 跌超3%,近期强势的电力股多数低开,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00916\">$龙源电力(00916)$</a> 跌超2%;另一方面,生物技术股再度集体反弹,美国商务部制裁名单不涉及医药公司;医药股走高,<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/09688\">$再鼎医药-SB(09688)$</a> 涨近","text":"聊聊今日份的交易想法,包括对于大盘走势后续的看法?看涨/看跌哪只股票、晒晒单等等。 港股市场 12月17日讯,港股三大指数低开,恒指跌0.05%,国指跌0.41%,恒生科技指数跌0.8%。 盘面上,隔夜美股科技股重挫,港股大型科技股集体低开,$阿里巴巴-SW(09988)$ 、$网易-S(09999)$ 跌超2%,$腾讯控股(00700)$ 跌超1%,$百度集团-SW(09888)$ 、$京东集团-SW(09618)$ 等皆有跌幅;保险股、乳制品股、光伏股、体育用品股普跌,$中国飞鹤(06186)$ 大跌近10%,$信义光能(00968)$ 跌超4%,$中国平安(02318)$ 跌超3%,近期强势的电力股多数低开,$龙源电力(00916)$ 跌超2%;另一方面,生物技术股再度集体反弹,美国商务部制裁名单不涉及医药公司;医药股走高,$再鼎医药-SB(09688)$ 涨近","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43640df14a4231359701d7899e7dec45","width":"-1","height":"-1"}],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":2,"paper":2,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690788585","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"subType":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":2,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":786,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":877934099,"gmtCreate":1637857269344,"gmtModify":1637857269344,"author":{"id":"3562581214716129","authorId":"3562581214716129","name":"BlissNHappy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57c8ae1247419aff13ee8033c4ac6c63","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"yep","listText":"yep","text":"yep","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/877934099","repostId":"2186391610","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1148,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
