They're thinking about what trends they want to buy into for the upcoming year and what stocks might help make them rich.</p><p>However, reflection is a two-way street. Just as there are great companies that can make investors wealthy, there are stocks that could cost investors a lot of money and should be avoided at all costs. Below are five stocks investors should consider selling right now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a8aaeae4465770036314f05da71f414\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>AMC Entertainment</h2><p>It's no secret that I believe movie theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC) is the most overvalued stock on Wall Street.</p><p>For those of you who may not have followed the AMC "made for TV drama" that's occurred this year, the company's shares are up more than 1,200% following an epic short squeeze earlier this year. Short-sellers (investors betting on a security's price to decline) were caught off-guard when AMC was able to save itself from imminent bankruptcy by selling 164 million shares of stock and issuing high-interest debt. But with this short squeeze now in the rearview mirror, AMC's abysmal operating performance, bloated balance sheet, and declining bargaining power with movie studios are in plain view.</p><p>For example, before the pandemic took effect, AMC was regularly securing theatrical exclusivity deals of 75 to 90 days. Nowadays, AMC is lucky to secure 45-day theatrical exclusivity. Even taking into account that most revenue is picked up in the first couple of weeks, this 30- to 45-day reduction in exclusivity is going to pinch AMC. It's also bad news considering that inflation-adjusted domestic box office sales have been in decline since 2002.</p><p>The bigger issue, as I've stated over and over, is AMC can't make good on its liabilities. It has $5.45 billion in outstanding debt at roughly an 8% average interest rate. Keep that rate in mind, because lending rates are pretty much at historic lows. It also has over $1 billion in aggregate debt due in late 2026 and mid-2027 that's valued at more than 30% below face value. With the company hemorrhaging cash and not able to sell any additional stock thanks to its impassioned but misguided retail investors, it looks to be making a slow walk toward a chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.</p><p>Suffice it to say, AMC Entertainment is a stock investors can confidently sell right now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b45c4bd410befdb22fd801c7758dfb71\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>MicroStrategy</h2><p>A second stock investors should strongly consider selling right now is "enterprise analytics software company" <b>MicroStrategy</b> (NASDAQ:MSTR). I have "enterprise analytics software company" in quotations because CEO Michael Saylor has effectively ignored this stagnant part of the company's operations and turned MicroStrategy into a leveraged gamble on <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC).</p><p>According to the company's investor presentation earlier this month, it's holding 122,478 Bitcoin at an average price of $29,861. The issue with this strategy is threefold, in my view.</p><p>First, I'm not convinced Bitcoin is a sound investment. I recently outlined my views on Bitcoin, which centers on its false scarcity and it's less-than-stellar network performance. Bitcoin is constantly being out-innovated when it comes to payments and nonfinancial blockchain applications.</p><p>Second, MicroStrategy destroyed a reasonably safe balance sheet by piling on more than $2 billion in debt and issuing $900 million in stock, all of which was used to buy Bitcoin. Saylor has leveraged a public company's future on an asset that produces nothing.</p><p>And third, I believe Saylor is a poor leader. Earlier this year, Saylor told the world in an interview to "go mortgage your house and buy Bitcoin with it." This is <i>incredibly</i> <i>bad</i> <i>advice</i>, and all the more reason to avoid MicroStrategy.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a442339ef77177eb97fecfa070c7ac0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Cassava Sciences</h2><p>Another stock investors can sell right now is clinical-stage biotech stock <b>Cassava Sciences</b> (NASDAQ:SAVA).</p><p>Cassava made waves in the first quarter when it announced positive interim analysis data from its open-label study of simufilam for patients with Alzheimer's disease. The data showed both cognition and behavior score improvements at the six-month mark. Since Alzheimer's has no cure, any positive clinical data tends to be well-received.</p><p>But there are two glaring issues that should send folks scurrying to the sidelines. First of all, the track record of success for clinical-stage therapeutics targeting Alzheimer's disease is incredibly low. While we've witnessed plenty of early stage success, virtually all late-stage Alzheimer's trials end in failure. This isn't a knock against the research, so much as recognizing that tackling the blood-brain barrier is tricky.</p><p>The second concern is that Cassava Sciences is facing allegations of manipulating its trial data. The company also announced in November that federal agencies are investigating its practices, without specifically naming the federal agencies in question. Keeping in mind that some of the allegations have come from firms shorting the stock, this is a headache you're better off letting someone else deal with.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3b1defb6dba4980112c9a56af41a57c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>GameStop</h2><p>Investors should also considering selling the original meme stock, <b>GameStop</b> (NYSE:GME).</p><p>A few weeks before AMC ascended to the heavens on its short squeeze, GameStop's high short interest attracted retail investors. In fact, GameStop's short interest was higher than any publicly traded company, as of mid-January, making it the perfect candidate for an epic squeeze. However, with this short-term event now over, investors are forced to grapple with GameStop's poor operating performance.</p><p>On the positive side, GameStop was able to raise sufficient capital from selling its stock to rid its balance sheet of debt. This net-cash position, coupled with the long-term growth potential of digital gaming, means there are no bankruptcy concerns, unlike with AMC.</p><p>But GameStop was notably late in shifting its strategy to include digital gaming. Nowadays, the company is busy shuttering stores in an effort to lower its expenses and back its way into the profit column. The company's large brick-and-mortar presence is expected to work against it for the foreseeable future, and could keep it from profitability for a few years.</p><p>Further, Wall Street has been unimpressed with management's lack of concrete steps that'll be taken to turn the business around. Even with a hefty cash balance, GameStop is grossly overvalued.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2bd808070a9dde55f37210b59edc2e23\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>A Tesla Model S charging. Image source: Tesla Motors.</span></p><h2>Tesla Motors</h2><p>Last, but certainly not least, investors should consider giving electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer <b>Tesla Motors</b> (NASDAQ:TSLA) the boot.</p><p>Tesla has managed to do a lot of great things with its first-mover advantage. The company is on pace to deliver more than 800,000 EVs in 2021, and CEO Elon Musk has watched his company deliver its two largest operating profits since inception this year. The range, capacity, and power associated with Tesla's batteries has been superior as well.</p><p>Yet, these competitive advantages are unlikely to last given that all of the world's largest auto companies are throwing billions of dollars at EV research. For instance, <b>General Motors</b> and <b>Ford Motor Company</b> are respectively investing $35 billion and $30 billion in next-generation automobiles, with both companies bringing 30 new EVs to market by 2025. Tesla's first-mover advantage will fade sooner than later.</p><p>What's more, Tesla's income statement has been aided by selling Bitcoin at a profit earlier this year, as well as selling renewable energy credits (RECs) to other automakers. Take away these RECs and Tesla's profits aren't even remotely as impressive.</p><p>Valued at nearly 130 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings in an industry where single-digit earnings multiples are commonplace, I'd have to think Tesla's stock is due for a major reversion.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>5 Stocks I'd Sell Right Now</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n5 Stocks I'd Sell Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-29 20:29 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/29/5-stocks-id-sell-right-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For many investors, the New Year is a time of reflection.

Earlier this year, Saylor told the world in an interview to \"go mortgage your house and buy Bitcoin with it.\" This is incredibly bad advice, and all the more reason to avoid MicroStrategy.Image source: Getty Images.Cassava SciencesAnother stock investors can sell right now is clinical-stage biotech stock Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA).Cassava made waves in the first quarter when it announced positive interim analysis data from its open-label study of simufilam for patients with Alzheimer's disease. The data showed both cognition and behavior score improvements at the six-month mark. Since Alzheimer's has no cure, any positive clinical data tends to be well-received.But there are two glaring issues that should send folks scurrying to the sidelines. First of all, the track record of success for clinical-stage therapeutics targeting Alzheimer's disease is incredibly low. While we've witnessed plenty of early stage success, virtually all late-stage Alzheimer's trials end in failure. This isn't a knock against the research, so much as recognizing that tackling the blood-brain barrier is tricky.The second concern is that Cassava Sciences is facing allegations of manipulating its trial data. The company also announced in November that federal agencies are investigating its practices, without specifically naming the federal agencies in question. Keeping in mind that some of the allegations have come from firms shorting the stock, this is a headache you're better off letting someone else deal with.Image source: Getty Images.GameStopInvestors should also considering selling the original meme stock, GameStop (NYSE:GME).A few weeks before AMC ascended to the heavens on its short squeeze, GameStop's high short interest attracted retail investors. In fact, GameStop's short interest was higher than any publicly traded company, as of mid-January, making it the perfect candidate for an epic squeeze. However, with this short-term event now over, investors are forced to grapple with GameStop's poor operating performance.On the positive side, GameStop was able to raise sufficient capital from selling its stock to rid its balance sheet of debt. This net-cash position, coupled with the long-term growth potential of digital gaming, means there are no bankruptcy concerns, unlike with AMC.But GameStop was notably late in shifting its strategy to include digital gaming. Nowadays, the company is busy shuttering stores in an effort to lower its expenses and back its way into the profit column. The company's large brick-and-mortar presence is expected to work against it for the foreseeable future, and could keep it from profitability for a few years.Further, Wall Street has been unimpressed with management's lack of concrete steps that'll be taken to turn the business around. Even with a hefty cash balance, GameStop is grossly overvalued.A Tesla Model S charging. Image source: Tesla Motors.Tesla MotorsLast, but certainly not least, investors should consider giving electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) the boot.Tesla has managed to do a lot of great things with its first-mover advantage. The company is on pace to deliver more than 800,000 EVs in 2021, and CEO Elon Musk has watched his company deliver its two largest operating profits since inception this year. The range, capacity, and power associated with Tesla's batteries has been superior as well.Yet, these competitive advantages are unlikely to last given that all of the world's largest auto companies are throwing billions of dollars at EV research. For instance, General Motors and Ford Motor Company are respectively investing $35 billion and $30 billion in next-generation automobiles, with both companies bringing 30 new EVs to market by 2025. Tesla's first-mover advantage will fade sooner than later.What's more, Tesla's income statement has been aided by selling Bitcoin at a profit earlier this year, as well as selling renewable energy credits (RECs) to other automakers. Take away these RECs and Tesla's profits aren't even remotely as impressive.Valued at nearly 130 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings in an industry where single-digit earnings multiples are commonplace, I'd have to think Tesla's stock is due for a major reversion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":414,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":696391043,"gmtCreate":1640614993700,"gmtModify":1640614993966,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Uptrend","listText":"Uptrend","text":"Uptrend","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/696391043","repostId":"1185167492","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185167492","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1640609888,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1185167492?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-27 20:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Monday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185167492","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stock index futures inched higher on Monday, boosted by megacap companies, while hundreds of Om","content":"<p>U.S. stock index futures inched higher on Monday, boosted by megacap companies, while hundreds of Omicron-driven flight cancellations kept investors on edge at the start of this year's final trading week.</p>\n<p>Travel-related stocks, typically sensitive to news around the coronavirus, slid after U.S. airlines called off many flights for a third day on Sunday as surging COVID-19 cases forced Christmas weekend travelers to change plans.</p>\n<p>The S&P 500 closed at a record high on Thursday, as upbeat news related to the Omicron coronavirus variant calmed investor nerves over the highly infection strain's economic impact after it upended markets earlier this month.</p>\n<p>Wall Street's three main indexes are eyeing a third straight yearly gain, with the benchmark S&P 500 (.SPX) on track to close out the year 25.8% higher.

Gains were broad among S&P 500 sectors, led by consumer discretionary and industrials, which both rose about 1.2%.</p>\n<p>Vaccine makers <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AZNCF\">AstraZeneca Plc</a> and Novavax Inc said their shots protected against Omicron as UK data suggested it may cause proportionally fewer hospital cases than the Delta variant, though public health experts warned the battle against COVID-19 was far from over.</p>\n<p>The arrival of Omicron has helped ratchet up market volatility for much of the last month of 2021, which has been a strong year for equities.</p>\n<p>“There was a lot of negative sentiment coming into the final part of the year, and investors have likely continued to see pretty strong economic growth and pretty positive developments as it relates to healthcare innovation around COVID and that is putting in a bit of a bid into equities and causing investors to look to allocate capital as they close out the year,” said Matthew Miskin, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management.</p>\n<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 196.67 points, or 0.55%, to 35,950.56, the S&P 500 gained 29.23 points, or 0.62%, to 4,725.79 and the Nasdaq Composite added 131.48 points, or 0.85%, to 15,653.37.</p>\n<p>Defensive sectors, which have mostly outperformed in December, generally lagged on Thursday.

There are, indeed some important bear arguments, such as dilution, reliance on government contracts, and rising interest rates.

Generally, I am in the bullish camp here, but taking a look at the bear arguments can be a good idea as well. Three of the most common arguments against Palantir are the following ones:</p>\n<p><b>1. Shareholder Dilution</b></p>\n<p>Growth on a company-wide basis is important, but growth on a per-share basis is even more important. There are many examples that show that changes in a company's share count can create or destroy a lot of shareholder value. Apple (AAPL), for example, has seen its net income grow by roughly 190% over the last decade:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b5263c8346cfbbb898f1d1ac9a5bead\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Thanks to a declining share count, its earnings per share rose by a much more attractive 350%, however -- buybacks created a lot of shareholder value. There are also examples where a rising share count destroyed a lot of shareholder value, e.g. at Citigroup (C):</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc39008812f5e2d0082dedc95b025c68\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Massive share issuance during the Great Recession has resulted in a 75% earnings per share decline since 2007, even though net profits were up over the same time frame. Looking at the changes in a company's share count thus makes sense, as those changes can have a large impact in the long run. At Palantir, we see that the share count has been rising considerably since the company went public. During the most recent quarter, Palantir's share count looked like this:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/917ca4d7a390ced61d7c92d528f84fc1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"539\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Palantir Press Release</span></p>\n<p>Compared to the second quarter, Palantir's average share count was 1.895 billion, which makes for a 3.5% quarterly increase, which pencils out to an annual growth rate in the mid-teens. That is, of course, not negligible at all, and bears to have an argument when they state that shareholders get diluted at a meaningful pace. On the other hand, Palantir's business growth rate is way higher than 3% per quarter, as the company has guided for ~40% revenue growth this year, and since Palantir should also deliver outsized business growth in the coming years. Even if Palantir's share count were to climb by 10%-15% a year going forward, revenue per share would still climb by 25%+ a year thanks to the fact that PLTR is growing rapidly. I also believe that dilution will, over the years, decline. Not only has this been the case at many other growth companies, e.g. Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), or Meta (FB), but it is also logical from an option rewards perspective. Option rewards are especially generous when a company is not yet publicly traded and when its future is still more uncertain, but as a company matures, employees get more comfortable as risks for the company decline, and they do not demand large option packages any longer. Last but not least, Palantir also generates strong free cash flows that should allow the company to do share buybacks in the future, which should help improve the dilution rate as well.</p>\n<p><b>2. Reliance on government contracts</b></p>\n<p>In a recent bearish article, fellow Seeking Alpha contributor On The Pulse argued that Palantir was overvalued and that its reliance on government contracts was an issue. Palantir Technologies is, indeed, reliant on government contracts to a large degree today, but I do not believe that this is a major issue. First, Palantir has diversified away from government contracts in the recent past, thanks to massive growth in its commercial business:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de23409915ee3811691b986a42ece899\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"308\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Palantir Technologies presentation</span></p>\n<p>In fact, Palantir's commercial business has been growing much faster than its government business in the recent past, which shows that commercial customers from all kinds of industries apparently see a lot of value in Palantir's technology -- otherwise, they wouldn't be buying at a rapid pace. With</p>\n<p>With the commercial business growth rate outpacing the government business growth rate, Palantir will, over the years, become a company that is less and less dependent on government contracts, and that will ultimately turn into a B2B-focused software/technology player. Even if Palantir were to remain a government-focused company forever, which seems unlikely based on the current growth rates of the individual business units, that would not necessarily be an issue. Working for the government means that there is very little counterparty risk and that existing relations can easily be used to get future contracts. Last but not least, with government budgets rising relatively steadily, good government connections allow for considerable growth opportunities -- especially in the defense tech/security tech space Palantir is active in, as there is a huge need for further investments in this space.</p>\n<p>The claim that a government focus leads to lacking scalability is also false, I believe. Per Palantir's most recent quarterly report (linked above), its operating expenses rose by $9 million between Q3 2020 and Q3 2021 -- whereas revenues rose by $103 million in the same time frame. This backs out changes in share-based compensation. If one were to include those SBC expenses, Palantir's expenses actually<i>declined</i>year-over-year while the company managed to grow its revenue by close to 40%. The claim that Palantir will not generate any scale advantages over the years thus seems to be unfounded, I believe. Instead, the data suggest that Palantir will be able to grow its margins considerably -- the company was able to grow its adjusted gross profit by a massive $90 million while growing its adjusted operating expenses by just $9 million -- making for excellent operating leverage.</p>\n<p><b>3. Exposure to rising rates</b></p>\n<p>Massive inflation will force the Fed to raise rates in 2022 and beyond, and that could be an issue for growth stocks. Companies that are not profitable today, or that have the vast majority of their profits in the distant future, are more exposed to a rising discount rate compared to companies that have low or no growth and that generate a large amount of all future profits in the near term. This could result in outperformance of value stocks versus growth stocks in the coming years, I believe. Palantir, which is not profitable yet, naturally belongs in the \"growth\" bucket that could see an above-average impact from rising interest rates. There is no real counter-argument here, I believe -- it is indeed true that the impact of rising rates on Palantir, all else equal, will be larger compared to a value stock like AbbVie (ABBV), for example.</p>\n<p>This being an incremental negative for Palantir doesn't mean that shares have to be avoided under any circumstances, however. Indeed, even despite some potential headwinds from rising rates, Palantir could still be an attractive investment if other arguments have a larger weight -- I believe this to be true, as I see PLTR's massive growth potential and huge moat outweighing some near-term headwinds from rising rates.</p>\n<p><b>Why Palantir Is Still Attractive</b></p>\n<p>Bears bring up a range of arguments against Palantir, and as shown above, those can have merit. I believe that they might be overblown in some cases, but taking a look at the bear's arguments doesn't hurt -- in fact, it seems like a good idea to look at both sides in order to make a more informed decision. Dilution is indeed an issue, although I do not believe that this will be too much of a headwind, since PLTR's business growth easily outpaces dilution and since dilution, overall, should slow down over the years. Government reliance will wane over the years due to an above-average commercial business growth rate, and in general, doing business with the government is not a bad thing anyway. The claim that PLTR lacks scalability seems to be false, from what I see in PLTR's data.</p>\n<p>Palantir is, despite these arguments, attractive, I believe: The company is growing rapidly, has decades-long growth potential in both its government business as well as on the commercial side, and Palantir seems to have a very wide moat. This combination could turn Palantir into one of the largest and most important companies eventually -- although investors shouldn't expect this to happen in the very near term. Instead, I believe that there is a good chance that Palantir will grow at a considerable rate throughout the 2020s and beyond, as our world becomes ever more data-hungry -- both governments, as well as enterprises, will try to get the most value out of all of this data, and Palantir, with its tailored solutions, will be there to offer that value to its customers. With new tools such as the recently-showcased Foundry for crypto, Palantir is at the forefront of all kinds of emerging technologies. Thanks to the fact that Palantir has access to top talent -- the result of SBC and of an excellent working environment-- I believe that there is a good chance that Palantir will be able to be highly competitive in all kinds of future markets in the Big Data/AI space that may not even exist yet.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>In general, I am not much of a growth investor -- instead, I primarily focus on attractively priced stocks with strong cash flows, oftentimes those that pay dividends. Palantir, however, is somewhat of an outlier in my portfolio -- it's a growth stock, it is not really profitable yet, and most of its potential is years away. Due to the highly attractive combination of a massive market opportunity, excellent talent, and a wide moat, Palantir still seems like an attractive long-term investment to me. This isn't a stock that will make investors rich quickly, but I believe that there is a very good chance that Palantir will turn into a very dominant, important company over the next 10+ years. At 19x next year's revenue, PLTR is not cheap, but when we expect that the company will grow at a strong rate for many years, that also doesn't seem outlandish to me at all. It makes sense to listen to the bears' arguments, but I believe that the pros outweigh the cons here.</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>Palantir: 3 Reasons Against It And Why It's Still A Buy</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\">\nPalantir: 3 Reasons Against It And Why It's Still A Buy\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-21 11:26 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4475960-palantir-3-reasons-against-it-and-why-its-still-a-buy><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nPalantir Technologies is a battleground stock.

On the other hand, Palantir's business growth rate is way higher than 3% per quarter, as the company has guided for ~40% revenue growth this year, and since Palantir should also deliver outsized business growth in the coming years. Even if Palantir's share count were to climb by 10%-15% a year going forward, revenue per share would still climb by 25%+ a year thanks to the fact that PLTR is growing rapidly. I also believe that dilution will, over the years, decline. Not only has this been the case at many other growth companies, e.g. Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), or Meta (FB), but it is also logical from an option rewards perspective. Option rewards are especially generous when a company is not yet publicly traded and when its future is still more uncertain, but as a company matures, employees get more comfortable as risks for the company decline, and they do not demand large option packages any longer. Last but not least, Palantir also generates strong free cash flows that should allow the company to do share buybacks in the future, which should help improve the dilution rate as well.</p>\n<p><b>2. Reliance on government contracts</b></p>\n<p>In a recent bearish article, fellow Seeking Alpha contributor On The Pulse argued that Palantir was overvalued and that its reliance on government contracts was an issue. Palantir Technologies is, indeed, reliant on government contracts to a large degree today, but I do not believe that this is a major issue. First, Palantir has diversified away from government contracts in the recent past, thanks to massive growth in its commercial business:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de23409915ee3811691b986a42ece899\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"308\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Palantir Technologies presentation</span></p>\n<p>In fact, Palantir's commercial business has been growing much faster than its government business in the recent past, which shows that commercial customers from all kinds of industries apparently see a lot of value in Palantir's technology -- otherwise, they wouldn't be buying at a rapid pace. With</p>\n<p>With the commercial business growth rate outpacing the government business growth rate, Palantir will, over the years, become a company that is less and less dependent on government contracts, and that will ultimately turn into a B2B-focused software/technology player. Even if Palantir were to remain a government-focused company forever, which seems unlikely based on the current growth rates of the individual business units, that would not necessarily be an issue. Working for the government means that there is very little counterparty risk and that existing relations can easily be used to get future contracts. Last but not least, with government budgets rising relatively steadily, good government connections allow for considerable growth opportunities -- especially in the defense tech/security tech space Palantir is active in, as there is a huge need for further investments in this space.</p>\n<p>The claim that a government focus leads to lacking scalability is also false, I believe. Per Palantir's most recent quarterly report (linked above), its operating expenses rose by $9 million between Q3 2020 and Q3 2021 -- whereas revenues rose by $103 million in the same time frame. This backs out changes in share-based compensation. If one were to include those SBC expenses, Palantir's expenses actually<i>declined</i>year-over-year while the company managed to grow its revenue by close to 40%. The claim that Palantir will not generate any scale advantages over the years thus seems to be unfounded, I believe. Instead, the data suggest that Palantir will be able to grow its margins considerably -- the company was able to grow its adjusted gross profit by a massive $90 million while growing its adjusted operating expenses by just $9 million -- making for excellent operating leverage.</p>\n<p><b>3. Exposure to rising rates</b></p>\n<p>Massive inflation will force the Fed to raise rates in 2022 and beyond, and that could be an issue for growth stocks. Companies that are not profitable today, or that have the vast majority of their profits in the distant future, are more exposed to a rising discount rate compared to companies that have low or no growth and that generate a large amount of all future profits in the near term. This could result in outperformance of value stocks versus growth stocks in the coming years, I believe. Palantir, which is not profitable yet, naturally belongs in the \"growth\" bucket that could see an above-average impact from rising interest rates. There is no real counter-argument here, I believe -- it is indeed true that the impact of rising rates on Palantir, all else equal, will be larger compared to a value stock like AbbVie (ABBV), for example.</p>\n<p>This being an incremental negative for Palantir doesn't mean that shares have to be avoided under any circumstances, however. Indeed, even despite some potential headwinds from rising rates, Palantir could still be an attractive investment if other arguments have a larger weight -- I believe this to be true, as I see PLTR's massive growth potential and huge moat outweighing some near-term headwinds from rising rates.</p>\n<p><b>Why Palantir Is Still Attractive</b></p>\n<p>Bears bring up a range of arguments against Palantir, and as shown above, those can have merit. I believe that they might be overblown in some cases, but taking a look at the bear's arguments doesn't hurt -- in fact, it seems like a good idea to look at both sides in order to make a more informed decision. Dilution is indeed an issue, although I do not believe that this will be too much of a headwind, since PLTR's business growth easily outpaces dilution and since dilution, overall, should slow down over the years. Government reliance will wane over the years due to an above-average commercial business growth rate, and in general, doing business with the government is not a bad thing anyway. The claim that PLTR lacks scalability seems to be false, from what I see in PLTR's data.</p>\n<p>Palantir is, despite these arguments, attractive, I believe: The company is growing rapidly, has decades-long growth potential in both its government business as well as on the commercial side, and Palantir seems to have a very wide moat. This combination could turn Palantir into one of the largest and most important companies eventually -- although investors shouldn't expect this to happen in the very near term. Instead, I believe that there is a good chance that Palantir will grow at a considerable rate throughout the 2020s and beyond, as our world becomes ever more data-hungry -- both governments, as well as enterprises, will try to get the most value out of all of this data, and Palantir, with its tailored solutions, will be there to offer that value to its customers. With new tools such as the recently-showcased Foundry for crypto, Palantir is at the forefront of all kinds of emerging technologies. Thanks to the fact that Palantir has access to top talent -- the result of SBC and of an excellent working environment-- I believe that there is a good chance that Palantir will be able to be highly competitive in all kinds of future markets in the Big Data/AI space that may not even exist yet.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>In general, I am not much of a growth investor -- instead, I primarily focus on attractively priced stocks with strong cash flows, oftentimes those that pay dividends. Palantir, however, is somewhat of an outlier in my portfolio -- it's a growth stock, it is not really profitable yet, and most of its potential is years away. Due to the highly attractive combination of a massive market opportunity, excellent talent, and a wide moat, Palantir still seems like an attractive long-term investment to me. This isn't a stock that will make investors rich quickly, but I believe that there is a very good chance that Palantir will turn into a very dominant, important company over the next 10+ years. At 19x next year's revenue, PLTR is not cheap, but when we expect that the company will grow at a strong rate for many years, that also doesn't seem outlandish to me at all. It makes sense to listen to the bears' arguments, but I believe that the pros outweigh the cons here.</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>Palantir: 3 Reasons Against It And Why It's Still A Buy</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\">\nPalantir: 3 Reasons Against It And Why It's Still A Buy\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-21 11:26 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4475960-palantir-3-reasons-against-it-and-why-its-still-a-buy><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nPalantir Technologies is a battleground stock.

Listening to the bears' arguments is a good idea for bulls.\nPLTR dilutes its shareholders, but that is not necessarily a huge problem.\nDespite some interest rate headwinds, PLTR seems like a good investment to me, thanks to a strong moat and great growth outlook.\n\nspxChrome/E+ via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nPalantir Technologies (PLTR) is an embattled growth stock, and in recent weeks, bears have been winning as shares continued to decline. There are, indeed some important bear arguments, such as dilution, reliance on government contracts, and rising interest rates. I do, however, still believe that Palantir Technologies is an attractive long-term investment, due to the act that its technology could lead to massive growth for many years to come.\n3 Issues Brought Up By Bears\nPalantir is a growth stock that brings out highly convinced bulls as well as highly convinced bears. Generally, I am in the bullish camp here, but taking a look at the bear arguments can be a good idea as well. Three of the most common arguments against Palantir are the following ones:\n1. Shareholder Dilution\nGrowth on a company-wide basis is important, but growth on a per-share basis is even more important. There are many examples that show that changes in a company's share count can create or destroy a lot of shareholder value. Apple (AAPL), for example, has seen its net income grow by roughly 190% over the last decade:\nData by YCharts\nThanks to a declining share count, its earnings per share rose by a much more attractive 350%, however -- buybacks created a lot of shareholder value. There are also examples where a rising share count destroyed a lot of shareholder value, e.g. at Citigroup (C):\nData by YCharts\nMassive share issuance during the Great Recession has resulted in a 75% earnings per share decline since 2007, even though net profits were up over the same time frame. Looking at the changes in a company's share count thus makes sense, as those changes can have a large impact in the long run. At Palantir, we see that the share count has been rising considerably since the company went public. During the most recent quarter, Palantir's share count looked like this:\nSource: Palantir Press Release\nCompared to the second quarter, Palantir's average share count was 1.895 billion, which makes for a 3.5% quarterly increase, which pencils out to an annual growth rate in the mid-teens. That is, of course, not negligible at all, and bears to have an argument when they state that shareholders get diluted at a meaningful pace. On the other hand, Palantir's business growth rate is way higher than 3% per quarter, as the company has guided for ~40% revenue growth this year, and since Palantir should also deliver outsized business growth in the coming years. Even if Palantir's share count were to climb by 10%-15% a year going forward, revenue per share would still climb by 25%+ a year thanks to the fact that PLTR is growing rapidly. I also believe that dilution will, over the years, decline. Not only has this been the case at many other growth companies, e.g. Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), or Meta (FB), but it is also logical from an option rewards perspective. Option rewards are especially generous when a company is not yet publicly traded and when its future is still more uncertain, but as a company matures, employees get more comfortable as risks for the company decline, and they do not demand large option packages any longer. Last but not least, Palantir also generates strong free cash flows that should allow the company to do share buybacks in the future, which should help improve the dilution rate as well.\n2.

They came up with <b>Chewy</b> (NYSE:CHWY), <b>Palantir Technologies</b> (NYSE:PLTR), and <b>Lemonade</b> (NYSE:LMND).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b9b677e425179be95416c5a1a9af331\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>After months on a leash, this stock could run again soon<b> </b></h2>\n<p><b>Will Healy</b> <b>(Chewy): </b>Chewy has carved out a niche for itself in the pet supply business. This e-commerce stock has stood out over prospective competitors such as <b>Amazon</b> through a higher level of customer interaction. The company stands by its 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee and offers its customer a personal touch, which has built loyalty among its customer base.</p>\n<p>Chewy stock thrived during the pandemic, but interestingly, near-term concerns appear to hinge on the concept of pet ownership, not Chewy's performance. Having a pet became more attractive during the pandemic, according to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Consequently, investors seem worried that the end of the lockdowns would lead to less interest in pet ownership, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. Such concerns helped put Chewy in the doghouse as it dropped by more than 50% since peaking in February.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, investors should not expect Chewy to roll over permanently. This year, the company partnered with <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TRUP\">Trupanion</a></b> to offer pet health insurance. And despite worries, Chewy also increased net sales per active customer by 15% over the last year to $419.</p>\n<p>Given that surge, it should not surprise shareholders that the company reported over $6.5 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2021, 27% more than in the first three quarters of 2020. This reduced the net loss in the first 39 weeks of 2021 to just over $10 million, primarily by slowing the growth in the cost of goods sold to 23%. Chewy lost close to $114 million during the same period in 2020.</p>\n<p>For the full year, Chewy forecasts revenue at approximately $8.9 billion. If that holds, it would signify 25% higher revenue year over year. Admittedly, that also points to a fourth-quarter sales forecast of $2.42 billion at the midpoint, which would mean a more modest 18% increase.</p>\n<p>However, thanks to that rising revenue and falling stock price, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 2.8. This closely approximates Chewy's sales multiple from two years ago, before the start of the pandemic. Such a P/S ratio and the prospects for further growth could make Chewy an increasingly attractive buying opportunity.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba74f68d31b524a7f7ac918526f7d6ef\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Cutting-edge artificial intelligence at a discount</h2>\n<p><b>Danny Vena (Palantir):</b> When the stock market swoons, it sometimes throws out the baby with the bathwater, as the old saying goes. This presents savvy investors with an opportunity to pick up shares of high-growth companies on the cheap. That is certainly the case with Palantir Technologies.</p>\n<p>In the wake of 9/11, it became clear that the U.S. government needed a way to gather, analyze, and share siloed data trapped in aging software systems across various intelligence agencies that didn't communicate.</p>\n<p>Peter Thiel, one of the co-founders of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> Holdings</b>, developed an elegant solution: a data mining tool that could collect information from across thousands of government databases and assemble a puzzle from pieces left by would-be terrorists. By using machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, it could distinguish patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed -- and Palantir was born.</p>\n<p>Palantir has the ability to fuse together seemingly unrelated factoids, giving intelligence officials advance notice for potential terrorist attacks.

As the year comes to a close, we're taking a look at some beaten-down stocks that we think the market has wrong.\nThree longtime Fool contributors picked their favorite stock for 2022 that was off its high 50% or more. They came up with Chewy (NYSE:CHWY), Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR), and Lemonade (NYSE:LMND).\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAfter months on a leash, this stock could run again soon \nWill Healy (Chewy): Chewy has carved out a niche for itself in the pet supply business. This e-commerce stock has stood out over prospective competitors such as Amazon through a higher level of customer interaction. The company stands by its 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee and offers its customer a personal touch, which has built loyalty among its customer base.\nChewy stock thrived during the pandemic, but interestingly, near-term concerns appear to hinge on the concept of pet ownership, not Chewy's performance. Having a pet became more attractive during the pandemic, according to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Consequently, investors seem worried that the end of the lockdowns would lead to less interest in pet ownership, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. Such concerns helped put Chewy in the doghouse as it dropped by more than 50% since peaking in February.\nNonetheless, investors should not expect Chewy to roll over permanently. This year, the company partnered with Trupanion to offer pet health insurance. And despite worries, Chewy also increased net sales per active customer by 15% over the last year to $419.\nGiven that surge, it should not surprise shareholders that the company reported over $6.5 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2021, 27% more than in the first three quarters of 2020. This reduced the net loss in the first 39 weeks of 2021 to just over $10 million, primarily by slowing the growth in the cost of goods sold to 23%. Chewy lost close to $114 million during the same period in 2020.\nFor the full year, Chewy forecasts revenue at approximately $8.9 billion. If that holds, it would signify 25% higher revenue year over year. Admittedly, that also points to a fourth-quarter sales forecast of $2.42 billion at the midpoint, which would mean a more modest 18% increase.\nHowever, thanks to that rising revenue and falling stock price, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 2.8. This closely approximates Chewy's sales multiple from two years ago, before the start of the pandemic. Such a P/S ratio and the prospects for further growth could make Chewy an increasingly attractive buying opportunity.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nCutting-edge artificial intelligence at a discount\nDanny Vena (Palantir): When the stock market swoons, it sometimes throws out the baby with the bathwater, as the old saying goes. This presents savvy investors with an opportunity to pick up shares of high-growth companies on the cheap. That is certainly the case with Palantir Technologies.\nIn the wake of 9/11, it became clear that the U.S. government needed a way to gather, analyze, and share siloed data trapped in aging software systems across various intelligence agencies that didn't communicate.\nPeter Thiel, one of the co-founders of PayPal Holdings, developed an elegant solution: a data mining tool that could collect information from across thousands of government databases and assemble a puzzle from pieces left by would-be terrorists. By using machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, it could distinguish patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed -- and Palantir was born.\nPalantir has the ability to fuse together seemingly unrelated factoids, giving intelligence officials advance notice for potential terrorist attacks. The system is able to stitch together seemingly disparate pieces of information to create a picture -- a one-way plane ticket; large, frequent withdrawals from foreign bank accounts; a rented condo; repeated calls to known terrorist safe havens; a rented truck; and the purchase of theme park tickets -- and in doing so identify a potential terrorist attack.\nNo longer relegated to just government agencies, Palantir's technology can be deployed by commercial enterprises to gather unstructured, siloed data across legacy systems and assemble it in one place, thereby providing keen and valuable insights -- and business is booming.\nIn the third quarter, total revenue grew 36% year over year, but revenue from U.S. enterprise businesses surged 103%, as Palantir's commercial customer count grew 46%. In fact, since Dec. 31, 2020, its commercial customer count has increased 135%.\nPalantir closed 54 deals worth more than $1 million, of which 33 contracts were worth $5 million, and 18 were worth $10 million or more. The company's total remaining deal value -- similar to remaining performance obligation -- climbed 50% to $3.6 billion, giving keen insight into Palantir's future prospects.\nWhile the company isn't yet profitable, it generated operating cash flow of more than $100 million, which shows that much of the shortfall is related to non-cash expenses like depreciation.\nEven more compelling was management's commentary that it expects annual revenue growth of at least 30% or more through 2025.\nYet even in light of its impressive results and stellar prospects, Palantir's stock has lost more than half its value, dragged down by the overall negative market sentiment. This gives investors the opportunity to buy into a wildly successful business at a significant discount.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThis insurance disruptor may be down, but it's not out\nBrian Withers (Lemonade): Lemonade is disrupting the insurance industry with products that embody the company's tag line, \"Instant everything. Incredible prices. Big heart.\" Its co-founders, Daniel Schreiber and Shai Wininger, wanted to build a different kind of insurance company. In the S-1 filing, they described it as \"rebuilding insurance from the ground up on a digital substrate and an innovative business model\" to make insurance \"more delightful, more affordable, more precise, and more socially impactful.\" From its results, they seem to be doing just that.\nThe table below includes selected results from the latest earnings report. Not only is the company collecting 84% more premiums year over year, but its premiums per customer are also gaining ground at an impressive 26%.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ3 2020\nQ2 2021\nQ3 2021 \nChange (QOQ)\nChange (YOY)\n\n\n\n\nIn force premium (IFP)\n$189 million\n$297 million\n$347 million\n17%\n84%\n\n\nCustomers\n0.94 million\n1.21 million\n1.36 million\n12%\n45%\n\n\nIFP per customer\n$201\n$246\n$254\n3%\n26%\n\n\n\nData source: Company earnings reports.

But as Peter Lynch said in <i>One Up On Wall Street</i>, 'Long shots almost never pay off.'</p>\n<p>In the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, my choice may seem old fashioned; I still prefer profitable companies like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRMT\"><b>America's Car-Mart</b> </a>. Now, I'm not saying that the stock is necessarily undervalued today; but I can't shake an appreciation for the profitability of the business itself. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.</p>\n<p> View our latest analysis for America's Car-Mart </p>\n<h3>How Fast Is America's Car-Mart Growing?</h3>\n<p>If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS). Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. Who among us would not applaud America's Car-Mart's stratospheric annual EPS growth of 38%, compound, over the last three years? While that sort of growth rate isn't sustainable for long, it certainly catches my attention; like a crow with a sparkly stone.</p>\n<p>One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. I note that America's Car-Mart's revenue <i>from operations</i> was lower than its revenue in the last twelve months, so that could distort my analysis of its margins. America's Car-Mart shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 11% to 14%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in my book.</p>\n<p>In the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings, and revenue, over time. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36e529cf4eac6eb2614a02c51e2dbb1d\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">NasdaqGS:CRMT Earnings and Revenue History December 19th 2021</p>\n<p>Of course the knack is to find stocks that have their best days in the future, not in the past. You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for America's Car-Mart.</p>\n<h3>Are America's Car-Mart Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?</h3>\n<p>It makes me feel more secure owning shares in a company if insiders also own shares, thusly more closely aligning our interests. As a result, I'm encouraged by the fact that insiders own America's Car-Mart shares worth a considerable sum. To be specific, they have US$48m worth of shares. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. That amounts to 6.9% of the company, demonstrating a degree of high-level alignment with shareholders.</p>\n<p>It's good to see that insiders are invested in the company, but are remuneration levels reasonable? A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. I discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like America's Car-Mart with market caps between US$400m and US$1.6b is about US$2.3m.</p>\n<p>The America's Car-Mart CEO received total compensation of just US$798k in the year to . That looks like modest pay to me, and may hint at a certain respect for the interests of shareholders. While the level of CEO compensation isn't a huge factor in my view of the company, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.</p>\n<h3>Does America's Car-Mart Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?</h3>\n<p>America's Car-Mart's earnings per share growth have been levitating higher, like a mountain goat scaling the Alps. The cherry on top is that insiders own a bucket-load of shares, and the CEO pay seems really quite reasonable. The sharp increase in earnings could signal good business momentum.

But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.'\nIn the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, my choice may seem old fashioned; I still prefer profitable companies like America's Car-Mart . Now, I'm not saying that the stock is necessarily undervalued today; but I can't shake an appreciation for the profitability of the business itself. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.\n View our latest analysis for America's Car-Mart \nHow Fast Is America's Car-Mart Growing?\nIf you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS). Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. Who among us would not applaud America's Car-Mart's stratospheric annual EPS growth of 38%, compound, over the last three years? While that sort of growth rate isn't sustainable for long, it certainly catches my attention; like a crow with a sparkly stone.\nOne way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. I note that America's Car-Mart's revenue from operations was lower than its revenue in the last twelve months, so that could distort my analysis of its margins. America's Car-Mart shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 11% to 14%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in my book.\nIn the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings, and revenue, over time. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers.\nNasdaqGS:CRMT Earnings and Revenue History December 19th 2021\nOf course the knack is to find stocks that have their best days in the future, not in the past. You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for America's Car-Mart.\nAre America's Car-Mart Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?\nIt makes me feel more secure owning shares in a company if insiders also own shares, thusly more closely aligning our interests. As a result, I'm encouraged by the fact that insiders own America's Car-Mart shares worth a considerable sum. To be specific, they have US$48m worth of shares. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. That amounts to 6.9% of the company, demonstrating a degree of high-level alignment with shareholders.\nIt's good to see that insiders are invested in the company, but are remuneration levels reasonable? A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. I discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like America's Car-Mart with market caps between US$400m and US$1.6b is about US$2.3m.\nThe America's Car-Mart CEO received total compensation of just US$798k in the year to . That looks like modest pay to me, and may hint at a certain respect for the interests of shareholders. While the level of CEO compensation isn't a huge factor in my view of the company, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.\nDoes America's Car-Mart Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?\nAmerica's Car-Mart's earnings per share growth have been levitating higher, like a mountain goat scaling the Alps. The cherry on top is that insiders own a bucket-load of shares, and the CEO pay seems really quite reasonable. The sharp increase in earnings could signal good business momentum. America's Car-Mart certainly ticks a few of my boxes, so I think it's probably well worth further consideration.

I shared that video on my Seeking Alpha bloghere. Since that time, PayPal has performed poorly both on an absolute basis and relative to the S&P 500 (SPY).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8252b7218af36cce8b5a591f56abaecd\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The stock price is down about -30% since I warned investors and down about -38% off its high price of the year.</p>\n<p>The truth is that I could have issued the same warning about many other technology stocks that had become overvalued, but PayPal was one that I actually wanted to buy if the price ever fell to a reasonable level. It was a case where there was absolutely nothing wrong with the company. There was no bad story to tell. The price had simply gotten insanely overvalued. It didn't matter how good the story around PayPal was back in February. Numbers almost always trump narrative over the long-term. And the numbers back then didn't make sense.</p>\n<p>This should be an important lesson for medium and long-term investors. If the numbers don't work, it doesn't matter what the story is.</p>\n<p>The difficultly for a stock writer like myself is that investors<i>love</i>narratives and stories. It's not our fault. Our human brains are hardwired that way. Since I shared my bearish February PayPal video, out of 62 articles on Seeking Alpha covering PayPal, there hasn't been a single \"Bearish\" article written. The primary reason for that is because PayPal's narrative was so appealing that valuation numbers were either ignored, or the assumptions around the numbers were not realistic.</p>\n<p>In this article, I'm going to share my current PayPal valuation based on earnings and earnings growth projections. I'll also share what I consider to be a fair value range for PayPal stock, and the price I would be looking to buy with a margin of safety. This is the same basic process I used to determine that PayPal stock was overvalued back in February of 2021.</p>\n<p><b>Full-Cycle Earnings Analysis</b></p>\n<p>As part of the analysis, I calculate what I consider to be the two main drivers of future total returns: Market sentiment returns and business returns. I then combine those expected returns together in the form of a 10-year CAGR expectation and use that to value the stock.</p>\n<p>Before I begin this analysis, I always check the business's long-term earnings patterns in order to ensure that the business is a proper fit for this sort of analysis. If the historical earnings 1) don't have a long enough history 2) are erratic in nature, or 3) are too cyclical, then I either avoid analyzing the stock altogether or I use a different type of analysis that is more appropriate.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/70078307e65a5a1d0e37f9e70b726b77\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"490\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>We can see that since 2015 PayPal's earnings per share have increased every single year. This is a clear secular growth pattern and it makes the stock very attractive as a long-term investment. Since 2015 there haven't been any negative earnings growth years so the stock is likely a good fit for the type of earnings analysis I'm going to perform. One important question to ask, though, is that while we did have a brief recession in 2020, it was a very unusual one. It's possible that PayPal's business could be more economically sensitive during a longer, more drawn-out recession. So, that is a risk. However, when I examined how eBay (EBAY) performed in the 2008/9 recession, its earnings growth was basically flat, and never went negative. If I had to make a guess, I think PayPal's earnings growth rate would probably decline during a \"normal\" recession, but still wouldn't be especially cyclical. For those reasons, I'm going to go ahead with my Full-Cycle Earnings Analysis even though we don't have hard historical data from \"normal\" recession for PayPal.</p>\n<p><b>Market Sentiment Return Expectations</b></p>\n<p>In order to estimate what sort of returns we might expect over the next 10 years, let's begin by examining what return we could expect 10 years from now if the P/E multiple were to revert to its mean from the previous economic cycle. Since we have had a recent recession (albeit an unusual one) I'm starting this cycle in fiscal year 2015 and running it through 2021's estimates.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e36d2c3455962a02d96b8c88c32eadce\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"490\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>PayPal's average P/E from 2015 to the present has been a healthy 34.11 (the blue bar circled in gold on the FAST Graph). Using 2021's forward earnings estimates of $4.60 (also circled in gold), PayPal has a current P/E of 40.73. If that 40.73 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 34.11 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, PayPal's price would fall and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of<b>-1.75%</b>. That's the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes ten years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the price could fall faster.</p>\n<p><b>Business Earnings Expectations</b></p>\n<p>We previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today's prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.</p>\n<p>There are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow. Let's start with the earnings yield (which is an inverted P/E ratio, so, the Earnings/Price ratio). The current earnings yield is about +2.46%. The way I like to think about this is, if I bought the company's whole business right now for $100, I would earn $2.46 per year on my investment if earnings remained the same for the next 10 years.</p>\n<p>The next step is to estimate the company's earnings growth during this time period. I do that by figuring out at what rate earnings grew during the last cycle and applying that rate to the next 10 years. This involves calculating the EPS growth rate since 2015, taking into account each year's EPS growth or decline, and then backing out any share buybacks that occurred over that time period (because reducing shares will increase the EPS due to fewer shares).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f31b7d8ed5f59c82c2531cc686324d1a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Due to the scale of the graph, the buybacks look much bigger than they actually are, and there isn't much to adjust here. Additionally, since PayPal has grown earnings every year there are no earnings growth declines to adjust for either. This makes estimating PayPal's earnings growth a relatively straightforward affair, and I estimate PayPal's earnings growth at about +23.65%.</p>\n<p>Now, this is the point where my conservatism when it comes to asking myself \"What is a reasonable expectation, for valuation purposes, going forward 10 years?\" It is very, very difficult for businesses to grow earnings over 20% per year for a full decade (particularly if they have already been doing that the previous decade). For that reason, I cap all of my long-term forward earnings growth estimates when using them for valuation purposes at 20%. This is simply a way to help keep me from overpaying for a stock when their P/E multiple is likely to contract over time. So, for this valuation exercise, I am limiting my earnings growth assumption to 20%.</p>\n<p>Next, I'll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought PayPal's whole business for $100, it would pay me back $2.46 plus +20.00% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +20.00% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $176.50 (including the original $100). When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a<b>+5.85%</b>10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.</p>\n<p><b>10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR Estimate</b></p>\n<p>Potential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for PayPal, it will produce a -1.75% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +5.85% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of<b>+4.10%</b>at today's price.</p>\n<p>My Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. This puts PayPal stock just barely into the \"Hold\" category at today's price level.</p>\n<p><b>Additional Considerations</b></p>\n<p>I consider PayPal one of the highest quality growth stocks in the market right now, which is why I've been monitoring its valuation relatively closely. In this section I'm going to share my fair value range for PayPal along with the price I would be willing to buy the stock with a margin of safety based on earnings, and also the price I would consider buying using a more aggressive and less conservative valuation approach. So, I'm going to look at PayPal's valuation from a variety of different perspectives to give us a clearer view of what might be an appropriate price to pay for the stock.</p>\n<p>First, I'll start with my buy price and fair value range using the same assumptions and inputs I used in this article. If we use all of those same inputs my current fair value range for PayPal is about $126.50 to $164.00 per share. My current buy price that includes a margin of safety is $112.10. Investors who buy below that price have very good odds of great returns over the medium-term with the stock.</p>\n<p>Once we get into the new year and 2022, I'll start pulling forward PayPal's 2022 earnings for my estimates. Right now, analysts expect $5.25 per share from earnings in 2022. That will improve PayPal's valuation a lot if the rest of their metrics remain the same, and it would raise their fair value range up to $145.00 to $187.50 dollars per share with a margin of safety buy price at $128.00 per share. This, of course, assumes analysts keep their estimates for 2022 in place and don't lower them over the next couple of months. It also means, based on future earnings, that in a month or two if PayPal keeps trading near its current price, it is already in the top end of a \"fair value\" price range. This might be a further reason for current owners to keep holding.</p>\n<p>The Full-Cycle Earnings analysis I used in this article is not the only type of analysis I use. For certain rare businesses with fast profit growth dynamics, I recently developed a new analysis to help identify fast-growing businesses that might never become cheap enough to buy based on earnings alone. The methods of this analysis are exclusive to my private service, The Cyclical Investor's Club, but since PayPal's profit growth is very strong, it actually qualifies for this type of analysis, too, and I thought I would at least share the sort of \"buy price\" that analysis produces because it's a little more aggressive than the earnings-based analysis.</p>\n<p>When I examine PayPal using the profit growth analysis, it produces a buy price of $144.90. I find that interesting because if profits keep growing this quarter that price is likely to rise a little bit and put it pretty close to the middle of fair value using next year's earnings using my earnings-based method. This assumes that PayPal's metrics don't deteriorate between now and then, and there would be some technical requirements PayPal would have to meet as well, but I think the odds are good that by February of 2022 I could be a buyer of PayPal stock, approximately one year after I warned investors about its high valuation. It's going to be very interesting to see how it turns out.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>I think PayPal's 2021 decline is an interesting and useful case study that goes beyond PayPal itself. The sort of decline we've seen in PayPal's stock price this year was entirely predictable and there are many other richly valued technology stocks that will experience a similar decline, likely in 2022 for most of them. For investors who are overweight these types of stocks, now is probably a time to consider diversifying in order to help keep the gains they have experienced the past couple of years. While there will be some overvalued stocks that simply stagnate for several years and go nowhere, and a rare few that manage to keep rising, the vast majority will experience declines like PayPal has experienced.</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>PayPal's Recent Price Decline Will Eventually Happen To Nearly All Overvalued Technology Stocks</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\">\nPayPal's Recent Price Decline Will Eventually Happen To Nearly All Overvalued Technology Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-14 11:43 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4474960-paypal-share-price-decline-overvalued-technology-stocks><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nPayPal stock is down over -35% off this year's highs, and the stock still isn't cheap.\nI warned investors back in February of 2021 that PayPal was extremely overvalued and worth selling.\nThat...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4474960-paypal-share-price-decline-overvalued-technology-stocks\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PYPL":"PayPal"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4474960-paypal-share-price-decline-overvalued-technology-stocks","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1120286910","content_text":"Summary\n\nPayPal stock is down over -35% off this year's highs, and the stock still isn't cheap.\nI warned investors back in February of 2021 that PayPal was extremely overvalued and worth selling.\nThat warning could have been issued for dozens and dozens of overvalued technology stocks that still have over -50% downside from here within the next 3 years.\nPayPal remains a great company that I would like to own, so I analyze the stock in order to establish I price at which I'd be willing to buy it.\n\nBsWei/iStock via Getty Images\nIntroduction\nBack on February 6th, 2021, I made a video where I shared with investors why PayPal (PYPL) stock was overvalued enough to sell. I shared that video on my Seeking Alpha bloghere. Since that time, PayPal has performed poorly both on an absolute basis and relative to the S&P 500 (SPY).\nData by YCharts\nThe stock price is down about -30% since I warned investors and down about -38% off its high price of the year.\nThe truth is that I could have issued the same warning about many other technology stocks that had become overvalued, but PayPal was one that I actually wanted to buy if the price ever fell to a reasonable level. It was a case where there was absolutely nothing wrong with the company. There was no bad story to tell. The price had simply gotten insanely overvalued. It didn't matter how good the story around PayPal was back in February. Numbers almost always trump narrative over the long-term. And the numbers back then didn't make sense.\nThis should be an important lesson for medium and long-term investors. If the numbers don't work, it doesn't matter what the story is.\nThe difficultly for a stock writer like myself is that investorslovenarratives and stories. It's not our fault. Our human brains are hardwired that way. Since I shared my bearish February PayPal video, out of 62 articles on Seeking Alpha covering PayPal, there hasn't been a single \"Bearish\" article written. The primary reason for that is because PayPal's narrative was so appealing that valuation numbers were either ignored, or the assumptions around the numbers were not realistic.\nIn this article, I'm going to share my current PayPal valuation based on earnings and earnings growth projections. I'll also share what I consider to be a fair value range for PayPal stock, and the price I would be looking to buy with a margin of safety. This is the same basic process I used to determine that PayPal stock was overvalued back in February of 2021.\nFull-Cycle Earnings Analysis\nAs part of the analysis, I calculate what I consider to be the two main drivers of future total returns: Market sentiment returns and business returns. I then combine those expected returns together in the form of a 10-year CAGR expectation and use that to value the stock.\nBefore I begin this analysis, I always check the business's long-term earnings patterns in order to ensure that the business is a proper fit for this sort of analysis. If the historical earnings 1) don't have a long enough history 2) are erratic in nature, or 3) are too cyclical, then I either avoid analyzing the stock altogether or I use a different type of analysis that is more appropriate.\n\nWe can see that since 2015 PayPal's earnings per share have increased every single year. This is a clear secular growth pattern and it makes the stock very attractive as a long-term investment. Since 2015 there haven't been any negative earnings growth years so the stock is likely a good fit for the type of earnings analysis I'm going to perform. One important question to ask, though, is that while we did have a brief recession in 2020, it was a very unusual one. It's possible that PayPal's business could be more economically sensitive during a longer, more drawn-out recession. So, that is a risk. However, when I examined how eBay (EBAY) performed in the 2008/9 recession, its earnings growth was basically flat, and never went negative. If I had to make a guess, I think PayPal's earnings growth rate would probably decline during a \"normal\" recession, but still wouldn't be especially cyclical. For those reasons, I'm going to go ahead with my Full-Cycle Earnings Analysis even though we don't have hard historical data from \"normal\" recession for PayPal.\nMarket Sentiment Return Expectations\nIn order to estimate what sort of returns we might expect over the next 10 years, let's begin by examining what return we could expect 10 years from now if the P/E multiple were to revert to its mean from the previous economic cycle. Since we have had a recent recession (albeit an unusual one) I'm starting this cycle in fiscal year 2015 and running it through 2021's estimates.\n\nPayPal's average P/E from 2015 to the present has been a healthy 34.11 (the blue bar circled in gold on the FAST Graph). Using 2021's forward earnings estimates of $4.60 (also circled in gold), PayPal has a current P/E of 40.73. If that 40.73 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 34.11 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, PayPal's price would fall and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of-1.75%. That's the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes ten years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the price could fall faster.\nBusiness Earnings Expectations\nWe previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today's prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.\nThere are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow. Let's start with the earnings yield (which is an inverted P/E ratio, so, the Earnings/Price ratio). The current earnings yield is about +2.46%. The way I like to think about this is, if I bought the company's whole business right now for $100, I would earn $2.46 per year on my investment if earnings remained the same for the next 10 years.\nThe next step is to estimate the company's earnings growth during this time period. I do that by figuring out at what rate earnings grew during the last cycle and applying that rate to the next 10 years. This involves calculating the EPS growth rate since 2015, taking into account each year's EPS growth or decline, and then backing out any share buybacks that occurred over that time period (because reducing shares will increase the EPS due to fewer shares).\nData by YCharts\nDue to the scale of the graph, the buybacks look much bigger than they actually are, and there isn't much to adjust here. Additionally, since PayPal has grown earnings every year there are no earnings growth declines to adjust for either. This makes estimating PayPal's earnings growth a relatively straightforward affair, and I estimate PayPal's earnings growth at about +23.65%.\nNow, this is the point where my conservatism when it comes to asking myself \"What is a reasonable expectation, for valuation purposes, going forward 10 years?\" It is very, very difficult for businesses to grow earnings over 20% per year for a full decade (particularly if they have already been doing that the previous decade). For that reason, I cap all of my long-term forward earnings growth estimates when using them for valuation purposes at 20%. This is simply a way to help keep me from overpaying for a stock when their P/E multiple is likely to contract over time. So, for this valuation exercise, I am limiting my earnings growth assumption to 20%.\nNext, I'll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought PayPal's whole business for $100, it would pay me back $2.46 plus +20.00% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +20.00% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $176.50 (including the original $100). When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a+5.85%10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.\n10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR Estimate\nPotential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for PayPal, it will produce a -1.75% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +5.85% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of+4.10%at today's price.\nMy Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. This puts PayPal stock just barely into the \"Hold\" category at today's price level.\nAdditional Considerations\nI consider PayPal one of the highest quality growth stocks in the market right now, which is why I've been monitoring its valuation relatively closely. In this section I'm going to share my fair value range for PayPal along with the price I would be willing to buy the stock with a margin of safety based on earnings, and also the price I would consider buying using a more aggressive and less conservative valuation approach. So, I'm going to look at PayPal's valuation from a variety of different perspectives to give us a clearer view of what might be an appropriate price to pay for the stock.\nFirst, I'll start with my buy price and fair value range using the same assumptions and inputs I used in this article. If we use all of those same inputs my current fair value range for PayPal is about $126.50 to $164.00 per share. My current buy price that includes a margin of safety is $112.10. Investors who buy below that price have very good odds of great returns over the medium-term with the stock.\nOnce we get into the new year and 2022, I'll start pulling forward PayPal's 2022 earnings for my estimates. Right now, analysts expect $5.25 per share from earnings in 2022. That will improve PayPal's valuation a lot if the rest of their metrics remain the same, and it would raise their fair value range up to $145.00 to $187.50 dollars per share with a margin of safety buy price at $128.00 per share. This, of course, assumes analysts keep their estimates for 2022 in place and don't lower them over the next couple of months. It also means, based on future earnings, that in a month or two if PayPal keeps trading near its current price, it is already in the top end of a \"fair value\" price range. This might be a further reason for current owners to keep holding.\nThe Full-Cycle Earnings analysis I used in this article is not the only type of analysis I use. For certain rare businesses with fast profit growth dynamics, I recently developed a new analysis to help identify fast-growing businesses that might never become cheap enough to buy based on earnings alone. The methods of this analysis are exclusive to my private service, The Cyclical Investor's Club, but since PayPal's profit growth is very strong, it actually qualifies for this type of analysis, too, and I thought I would at least share the sort of \"buy price\" that analysis produces because it's a little more aggressive than the earnings-based analysis.\nWhen I examine PayPal using the profit growth analysis, it produces a buy price of $144.90. I find that interesting because if profits keep growing this quarter that price is likely to rise a little bit and put it pretty close to the middle of fair value using next year's earnings using my earnings-based method. This assumes that PayPal's metrics don't deteriorate between now and then, and there would be some technical requirements PayPal would have to meet as well, but I think the odds are good that by February of 2022 I could be a buyer of PayPal stock, approximately one year after I warned investors about its high valuation. It's going to be very interesting to see how it turns out.\nConclusion\nI think PayPal's 2021 decline is an interesting and useful case study that goes beyond PayPal itself. The sort of decline we've seen in PayPal's stock price this year was entirely predictable and there are many other richly valued technology stocks that will experience a similar decline, likely in 2022 for most of them. For investors who are overweight these types of stocks, now is probably a time to consider diversifying in order to help keep the gains they have experienced the past couple of years. While there will be some overvalued stocks that simply stagnate for several years and go nowhere, and a rare few that manage to keep rising, the vast majority will experience declines like PayPal has experienced.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":605835879,"gmtCreate":1639143101090,"gmtModify":1639143179272,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/605835879","repostId":"1115031273","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":42,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":602957461,"gmtCreate":1638963307173,"gmtModify":1638963307403,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/602957461","repostId":"1137698347","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137698347","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":1638962446,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1137698347?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-08 19:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ford Says Nearing 200,000 F-150 Lightning Reservations, Order Bank Opening Soon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1137698347","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Ford Motor Co told Benzinga on Tuesday its hotly-anticipated F-150 Lightning electric truck has secu","content":"<p><b>Ford Motor Co</b> told Benzinga on Tuesday its hotly-anticipated F-150 Lightning electric truck has secured nearly 200,000 bookings and the order bank is expected to open soon.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened:</b>The latest numbers are a significant jump from a month ago, when the Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford said bookings had touched 160,000 units for the electric variant of its best-selling truck.</p>\n<p>The electric version of Ford’s most profitable and popular pickup truck will go on sale in Spring at a ticket price of $39,974 and up for the base model and a range of 230 miles for the standard range.</p>\n<p>“We’re on track for customer deliveries to begin in spring 2022 and order banks will open soon,” a Ford spokesperson said.</p>\n<p>Ford will soon invite reservation holders to place the final orders.

However, these concerns seem unfounded given Visa's utter dominance of the processing space. As of 2018, it held a 53% share of U.S. credit card network purchase volume, which was more than 30 percentage points higher than the next-closest competitor.

Teva can currently be purchased for a little more than 3 times Wall Street's consensus earnings per share in 2021 and 2022.</p>\n<p>Unlike Amazon, Bristol Myers, and Visa, Teva hasn't been firing on all cylinders. Since 2016, the company settled a bribery scandal, buried itself in debt after overpaying for generic-drugmaker Actavis, and has faced a mountain of litigation concerning its role in the opioid epidemic. But while there's reason to not give Teva a valuation premium, an earnings multiple of 3 is overly pessimistic given the steps being taken to right the ship.</p>\n<p>In late 2017, Kare Schultz took over as CEO. He's a turnaround specialist who's taken clear steps to improve the business. During his tenure, net debt has been reduced from over $34 billion to around $22 billion, and annual operating expenses have been cut by a double-digit percentage. Teva is leaner than it's been in years and is capable of maintaining annual operating cash flow of $2 billion (or higher).</p>\n<p>Furthermore, there's light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to opioid litigation. A trial in California recently went in favor of drugmakers, which could put some bargaining power back in Teva's court. If Schultz can negotiate a national settlement where free or reduced-cost medicine, not cash, is the lure, Teva could probably double very quickly.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7343c3ce7330b86321a8ec9384d4baea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bank of America</h2>\n<p>The final Warren Buffett stock to buy hand over fist in December is banking juggernaut <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC).</p>\n<p>Bank stocks like BofA are on the cusp of hitting their growth sweet spot. With inflation picking up, the Federal Reserve will more than likely need to act in 2022 or 2023 to raise interest rates. Boosting the federal funds target rate will lift the net interest income-earning potential of banks with outstanding variable-rate loans.</p>\n<p>Among money-center banks, none is more interest-sensitive than Bank of America. The company's third-quarter earnings presentation points out that a 100-basis-point parallel shift in the interest rate yield curve would generate an estimated $7.2 billion in added net interest income over 12 months. Although we're unlikely to see a 100-basis-point shift in 12 months, we are on the verge of seeing higher interest rates significantly bolster BofA's profit potential.</p>\n<p>The other impressive aspect of Warren Buffett's second-largest holding is its digitization efforts. Though you probably don't think of Bank of America as a tech-savvy business, the number of digital active users has grown to nearly 41 million, with 43% of all sales in the third quarter coming from online or mobile banking. This push to digitize has allowed the company to consolidate some of its branches in order to reduce costs.</p>\n<p>Bank of America should be a no-brainer buy as it enters the sweet spot of its growth cycle.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>5 Warren Buffett Stocks Are Screaming Buys in December</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\">\n5 Warren Buffett Stocks Are Screaming Buys in December\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-03 23:01 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/03/5-warren-buffett-stocks-screaming-buys-in-december/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Making money for shareholders has been in Warren Buffett's blood since taking over as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in 1965.

If Schultz can negotiate a national settlement where free or reduced-cost medicine, not cash, is the lure, Teva could probably double very quickly.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBank of America\nThe final Warren Buffett stock to buy hand over fist in December is banking juggernaut Bank of America (NYSE:BAC).\nBank stocks like BofA are on the cusp of hitting their growth sweet spot. With inflation picking up, the Federal Reserve will more than likely need to act in 2022 or 2023 to raise interest rates. Boosting the federal funds target rate will lift the net interest income-earning potential of banks with outstanding variable-rate loans.\nAmong money-center banks, none is more interest-sensitive than Bank of America. The company's third-quarter earnings presentation points out that a 100-basis-point parallel shift in the interest rate yield curve would generate an estimated $7.2 billion in added net interest income over 12 months. Although we're unlikely to see a 100-basis-point shift in 12 months, we are on the verge of seeing higher interest rates significantly bolster BofA's profit potential.\nThe other impressive aspect of Warren Buffett's second-largest holding is its digitization efforts. Though you probably don't think of Bank of America as a tech-savvy business, the number of digital active users has grown to nearly 41 million, with 43% of all sales in the third quarter coming from online or mobile banking. This push to digitize has allowed the company to consolidate some of its branches in order to reduce costs.\nBank of America should be a no-brainer buy as it enters the sweet spot of its growth cycle.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":219,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":608141053,"gmtCreate":1638670962404,"gmtModify":1638670962550,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell","listText":"Sell","text":"Sell","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/608141053","repostId":"2188853578","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2188853578","pubTimestamp":1638567812,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188853578?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-04 05:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St ends lower on Omicron worries, Fed taper angst","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2188853578","media":"Reuters","summary":"Dec 3 (Reuters) - Wall Street's major indexes closed lower on Friday, with the Nasdaq leading the de","content":"<p>Dec 3 (Reuters) - Wall Street's major indexes closed lower on Friday, with the Nasdaq leading the declines as investors bet that a strong jobs report would not slow the Federal Reserve's withdrawal of support all while they grappled with uncertainty around the Omicron coronavirus variant.</p>\n<p>After opening higher, Wall Street spent the rest of the session in the doldrums and an elevated volatility index highlighted investor anxiety.</p>\n<p>The Labor Department's report, ahead of the session's open, showed that while nonfarm job growth rose less than expected in November, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.2%, its lowest since February 2020, and wages increased.</p>\n<p>Separately, a measure of U.S. services industry activity hit a record high in November.</p>\n<p>Both sets of data appeared to influence investor expectations for the Fed's next move towards tightening its policy.

It launched as a Malaysian taxi-hailing service and now calls itself a \"superapp\" after expanding into food, grocery and parcel delivery and to digital payments, lending and other financial services.\nSingapore-headquartered Grab operates across 465 cities in eight countries in the region, counting Indonesia as its biggest. Its venture with Singapore Telecommunications Ltd(STEL.SI)was awarded a digital bank license in Singapore last year.\nGrab gained the global spotlight in 2018 when it bought the Southeast Asian business of Uber Technologies Inc(UBER.N)in return for the U.S. ride-hailing company taking a stake in Grab.\nWith some 8,000 employees, Grab has tech centres in Singapore, Beijing, Seattle, Bengaluru and other places.\nWHO'S BACKING GRAB?\nEarly investors include Japan's SoftBank, China's Didi Chuxing and venture capital firms Vertex Ventures Holdings and GGV Capital.\nGrab raised about $12 billion ahead of the listing. Investors range from venture and hedge funds to automobile companies and other ride-hailing firms, and include:\nUber, Booking Holdings Inc, China Investment Corp, Coatue Management, Hillhouse Capital, Hyundai Motor Co, Invesco Ltd, Microsoft Corp, Ping An Capital Co, Toyota Motor Corp, and Yamaha Motor Co..\nIn the SPAC deal, about three dozen investors came on board including Temasek Holdings, BlackRock, Fidelity International, Abu Dhabi's Mubadala and Malaysia's Permodalan Nasional Bhd and Altimeter Capital.\nWHO'S THE COMPETITION?\nGoTo Group, formed by the merger of Indonesian ride-hailing and deliveries firm Gojek and local e-commerce leader Tokopedia is Grab's biggest competitor.\nSingapore-based Sea Ltd, which has e-commerce, gaming and a digital payments business, and is also muscling into food delivery and financial services in Indonesia. Sea has also won a digital bank license in Singapore.\nGrab is likely to increasingly start competing with banks as it expands its financial services.\nIt also competes with such delivery companies as Foodpanda and Deliveroo PLC.\nWHAT ARE GRAB'S FINANCIALS?\nGrab's third-quarter revenue fell 9% from a year earlier to $157 million. Its adjusted loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) widened 66% to $212 million. Gross merchandise value hit a quarterly record of $4 billion.\nThe delivery business has emerged as the biggest segment as more consumers shifted to online food delivery during the pandemic.\nGrab forecasts it will turn profitable on an EBITDA basis in 2023.\nWHO ARE ITS KEY EXECUTIVES?\nAnthony Tan, 39, is the company's CEO and co-founder.\nFellow co-founder Tan Hooi Ling, 38, runs Grab's operations, including corporate strategy and technology.\nBoth Tans, unrelated, met at Harvard Business School, where they conceived the idea of the ride-hailing company.\nGrab's president, Ming Maa, is a prominent dealmaker from SoftBank, who joined the company in 2016.\nHere are some milestones for the Singapore-headquartered company:\n2011: Anthony Tan and co-founder Tan Hooi Ling create Grab in a Harvard Business School venture competition plan\n2012: Launches as MyTeksi taxi booking service in Malaysia\n2013: Expands to the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore as GrabTaxi\nApril 2014: Announces Series A funding\nJune 2014: Launches in Indonesia\nDecember 2014: Japan's SoftBank invests $250 million in a funding round\nAugust 2015: Becomes a unicorn after $350 million funding round\nDecember 2015: Announces a strategic partnership with other ride-hailing companies Ola, Didi, and Lyft that competed against Uber\nJanuary 2016: Rebrands to Grab from GrabTaxi to reflect expanding services\nNovember 2017: Launches GrabPay payments service for third-party transactions\nMarch 2018: Announces acquisition of Uber's business in Southeast Asia through an all-share deal, Uber becomes a strategic shareholder\nMay 2018: Pilots GrabFood delivery service\nJuly 2018: Unveils \"superapp\" strategy that provides a range of services under one platform\nMarch 2019: Reaches valuation of about $14 billion\nDecember 2020: Wins digital full bank license in Singapore in a partnership with Singapore Telecommunications Ltd\nApril 2021: Agrees to list on Nasdaq through a merger with special-purpose acquisition company Altimeter Growth Corp securing a valuation of nearly $40 billion","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":131,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":609338531,"gmtCreate":1638237538741,"gmtModify":1638237547004,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Dip was on fri","listText":"Dip was on fri","text":"Dip was on fri","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/609338531","repostId":"2187505305","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2187505305","pubTimestamp":1638236834,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2187505305?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-30 09:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Omicron stock market rout doesn't mean stocks are a 'screaming' buy: strategist","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2187505305","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Don't back up the truck just yet on stocks even in the wake of Friday's brutal Omicron variant fuele","content":"<p>Don't back up the truck just yet on stocks even in the wake of Friday's brutal Omicron variant fueled sell-off, warns <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> long-time strategist.</p>\n<p>\"I just don't think we hit the level on the S&P 500 where I am willing to say this is a screaming buying opportunity right now,\" said iCapital Network chief investment strategist Anastasia Amoroso on Yahoo Finance Live. \"We don't see that from the oversold technical levels and also we have another potentially negative catalyst here which is the Federal Reserve.

With Columbus Day","content":"<p>It's also Indigenous Peoples Day.</p>\n<p>It's almost a perennial question on Wall Street. With Columbus Day a federal holiday on Monday, investors are curious if the stock market will be opened.</p>\n<p>Here is the short answer: yes. But it isn't that simple.</p>\n<p>The bond market isn't. Bond traders are off as recommended by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, known as Sifma.</p>\n<p>Columbus Day and Veterans Day are the two federal holidays when fixed-income markets are closed due to the federal holiday.</p>\n<p>As per usual, the Intercontinental Exchange<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ICE\">$(ICE)$</a>-owned New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NDAQ\">$(NDAQ)$</a> will both be open regular hours. So, the Dow Jones Industrial Average , the S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq Composite Index , to note the three main U.S. bourses, can figure out whether the weaker-than-expected jobs report released on Friday was bullish or bearish in the near term.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, benchmark bonds can take a breather after the 10-year Treasury note yield, 30-year Treasury bond and 2-year Treasury note touched their highest yields in months (since March of 2020 in the case of the shorter-date debt).</p>\n<p>Now back to Columbus Day and the curious case of mixed up market closures.</p>\n<p>Here's perhaps why it is closed and equities trade on.</p>\n<p>Begun back in 1792 and declared a federal day off in 1937 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Columbus Day marks a state and federal holiday. Federal offices, including the U.S. Treasury Department, are closed. That means, Treasurys--a chunk of typical trading activity on regular days and a key benchmark--are also forced to take a holiday.</p>\n<p>Columbus Day isn't without its controversy as a holiday intended to celebrate Christopher Columbus for sailing the ocean blue in 1492. Firstly, not all states celebrate the Italian explorer's occasion on the same day. Tennessee tends to celebrate the holiday on Friday. Some states don't acknowledge the day at all, with Alaska, Vermont, Hawaii and South Dakota choosing not to observe it.</p>\n<p>Some regions choose to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day, which honors Native Americans and challenges the concept that Columbus was the first to discover America. The holiday has been gaining support, as an alternative to Columbus Day.</p>\n<p>So, the next time that someone asks if the market is open on Columbus Day, you can tell them that it is complicated.</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>Is the stock market open on Columbus Day?

Here are three healthcare stocks that Buffett owns, which you may also want to consider buying and holding for the long run.</p>\n<h2>1. Johnson & Johnson</h2>\n<p>The first pharma stock within Berkshire's portfolio to contemplate purchasing is <b>Johnson & Johnson</b> (NYSE:JNJ). While the stock is one of Buffett's smallest holdings, valued at just under $55 million, this doesn't take away from its 59 consecutive years of dividend increases that make the stock a Dividend King.</p>\n<p>J&J will be spinning off its slower-growing and less profitable consumer health segment in the next 18 to 24 months, which should allow the company to focus on its faster-growing, more profitable pharmaceutical segment.</p>\n<p>J&J has a strong existing drug portfolio, which should be able to make up for the upcoming 2025 to 2026 patent expirations for its top-selling drug known, Stelara. Year to date, the immunology drug made up just 9.9% of J&J's $69 billion in net sales.</p>\n<p>These drugs include the immunology blockbuster Tremfya, which received its first of three U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals to date in July 2017. Another drug that was recently approved by the FDA was the oncology blockbuster called Darzalex, which received its first of nine FDA approvals to date in November 2015. These two drugs have grown their year-to-date revenue at high-40% clips year over year and should remain under patent most of this decade.</p>\n<p>J&J's enviable existing drug portfolio and its nearly four dozen indications in late-stage clinical trials explain why analysts anticipate that the stock will deliver 8% annual non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share (EPS) growth over the next five years.</p>\n<p>Income investors can scoop up J&J's 2.5% dividend yield at a forward P/E ratio of just 16.2 times, which makes the steady healthcare stock a great buy for the long term.</p>\n<h2>2. Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Another Buffett stock that could be a great fit in your portfolio is <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (NYSE:BMY). Berkshire's Bristol Myers Squibb stake totals nearly $1.4 billion, making it one of the largest healthcare holdings in Berkshire's portfolio.</p>\n<p>Bristol Myers Squibb's oncology blockbusters Revlimid and Opdivo and the anticoagulant blockbuster co-owned with <b>Pfizer</b> (NYSE:PFE) named Eliquis each face patent expirations later this decade. While looming patent expirations on three drugs that account for approximately two-thirds of your company's total revenue sounds frightening, this is nothing new; it's just the nature of Bristol Myers Squibb's industry.</p>\n<p>What matters most is that a company is proactive in developing and acquiring its next generation of blockbuster drugs to absorb key patent expirations. With more than 50 compounds in over 40 different disease areas currently in development at Bristol Myers Squibb, this is exactly what the company has been doing for years now.</p>\n<p>As a result, analysts are projecting that Bristol Myers Squibb will be able to generate 6% annual earnings growth through the next five years.</p>\n<p>Yield-hungry investors can buy Bristol Myers Squibb's market-crushing 3.5% yield at a ridiculously cheap forward P/E ratio of 7.9, which is what makes the stock a buy for those looking to hedge against inflation.</p>\n<h2>3. AbbVie</h2>\n<p>Finally, a Buffett stock that'd also be a good fit for income investors is <b>AbbVie</b> (NYSE:ABBV). Berkshire currently holds about $1.9 billion worth of AbbVie stock.</p>\n<p>It's well known at this point that the biopharmaceutical's top-selling drug in the world, Humira, will be facing intense biosimilar competition in the U.S. beginning in 2023. Even though the immunology drug's U.S. sales made up 31% of AbbVie's $41.24 billion total year-to-date sales, the company's pipeline should be able to stabilize and grow its net revenue beyond 2023.</p>\n<p>AbbVie has 54 compounds in various stages of clinical trials, which is why analysts are forecasting that the stock will grow its adjusted EPS 4.5% annually in the next five years.</p>\n<p>AbbVie's massive 4.4% dividend yield can be picked up at a forward P/E ratio of only 9.3. This is an attractive valuation for a stock with the ability to fight off inflation with healthy dividend hikes.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Best Buffett Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul</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\">\n3 Best Buffett Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-25 10:10 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/3-best-buffett-stocks-to-buy-for-the-long-haul/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Since Warren Buffett took full control of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, it became a diversified holding company with investments in publicly traded companies totaling nearly $345 billion at the time of ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/3-best-buffett-stocks-to-buy-for-the-long-haul/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"ABBV":"艾伯维公司","JNJ":"强生","BMY":"施贵宝"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/3-best-buffett-stocks-to-buy-for-the-long-haul/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2193917872","content_text":"Since Warren Buffett took full control of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, it became a diversified holding company with investments in publicly traded companies totaling nearly $345 billion at the time of writing.\nThe Oracle of Omaha's reputation of buying the highest quality businesses means that many individual investors could also benefit from adding these stocks to their portfolios.

(NIO) is one of the fastest Chinese EV companies, with ambitious plans to expand globally. However, recent production figures for October have been unimpressive, sending the stock back under $40/share. But this does not change the long-term prospects of the company. I believe NIO’s shares could easily double in the next 12 months based on my valuation.</p>\n<p><b>Short-term headwinds</b></p>\n<p>NIO Inc. just reported its deliveries for October,leaving investors anything but pleased. Overall, the company delivered 3,6677 vehicles, which was down 27.5% YoY. Though these headline numbers are disappointing, they are not the result of a slump in demand, as much as what I consider to be temporary headwinds. NIO cited “restructuring and manufacturing of upgrade lines” as the main reasons behind the decrease in deliveries. This does seem like a compelling argument, especially when we consider that new orders reached an all-time high in October.</p>\n<p>So the real question would be, how much of an impact will these manufacturing upgrades have? Will we see them affect next month's numbers? And is there more that the company might not be telling us?</p>\n<p>It is important to point out that, whatever happened to NIO in the last month, seems to be an isolated event. Rivals like Li Auto (LI) and XPeng Inc. (XPEV) delivered month-on-month increases.Though chip shortages and'' supply constraints” have surely had an impact on all these companies, NIO’s rivals seem to have fared better. Having said that, I do believe NIO will overcome these short-term headwinds, and still holds the most promise looking forward.</p>\n<p><b>Long-term tailwinds</b></p>\n<p>Despite the poor monthly results, the long-term prospects of NIO remain attractive, nothing has changed there. The issue of manufacturing has been widely discussed since NIO doesn’t have its production facilities yet. However, back in May,NIO renewed its agreement with Jianghuai Automobile Group Co (JAC). Through this agreement, NIO expects to double its production, up to 240,000 units per year from now to 2024.</p>\n<p>More importantly though, NIO has even more ambitious plans in the future, since the company will be spearheading the construction of the Neo Park, an industrial cluster for EVs based in the city of Hefei.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Neo Park in the capital of Anhui province will have production capacities for one million electric cars and 100 GWh of batteries per year on an area of 11.3 square kilometres, as well as research and development facilities, according to Chinese media reports on the start of construction. More than 50,000 jobs are planned, including more than 10,000 in research and development. The initial investment is 50 billion yuan (about 6.4 billion euros).\n</blockquote>\n<p>Source:Electrive.com</p>\n<p>For these reasons, I am not concerned when it comes to NIO’s long-term production capabilities.</p>\n<p>The other significant tailwind for NIO is its impending international expansion. NIO is already doing very well in China, as new orders are still holding strong even in October. It is true though that NIO faces intense competition in this area, few of the up and coming Chinese EV companies have any current plans for international expansion, which NIO does.</p>\n<p>NIO launched its ES8 in Norway one month ago, on the 1st of October, and this might also be partly behind the recent slowdown in production. NIO has shifted its focus towards this region, as it seeks to get a foot into Europe’s largest EV market. NIO has also brought its “lifestyle brand” to Norway, opening up a NIO House in Oslo, and partnering up with two local artists, Anette Moi and Sandra Blikas, to launch its NIO Norway collection. The company plans to expand from Oslo and have 20 NIO Power stations in Oslo by the end of 2022. Though these are ambitious plans, it's important to note that revenues and sales from Norway are not expected to be sizable during this first phase.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Regarding the delivery in Norway, we believe for this year, the contribution is not going to be that significant because our priority is to make sure we can ensure high user satisfaction in the Norway market by building our brand, expanding our sales and service network.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Source:William Bin Li, CEO, NIO Q2 2021 earnings conference call</p>\n<p>Ultimately though, NIO is laying the groundwork for prolonged long-term success, growing both its brand and production capacity.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>NIO is a fast-growing company in the EV sector, and while high revenue growth is expected, profitability is still far away. With that said, I believe the most adequate way to value such a company is by utilising a Price/Sales ratio. Using current analyst estimates from Seeking Alpha, and assuming a future rate of dilution and multiple, we can arrive at a target price for NIO.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a669b2529a958cabb360b2325d1781a2\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"612\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Let’s take the year 2023, which has estimates by 20 analysts, giving us a reasonable margin of safety. Estimates for 2023 range from $10,66B to $17,61B. I’ll use a conservative middle range number of $14B. December 2022 is about 2 years away, so we should also take into account some share dilution. Let’s assume a generous 6% rate of dilution, putting NIO’s outstanding shares close to 2B. Assuming a P/S ratio of 12, slightly below today’s, we would achieve a target price of $84/share. This is over twice today’s price, a 100% possible gain in slightly over two years.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>Although I am bullish on NIO and the EV sector, there are important risk factors that we must take into account.</p>\n<p>For starters, there is the persistent threat of chip shortages. CNBC recently reported that the shortage could last until 2023, which would certainly put a dampener on worldwide production.</p>\n<p>Another important but less discussed issue, though, is the fact that large quantities of lithium are required to produce the batteries that power EVs. In the last year, lithium prices have more than quadrupled, and this may become an issue moving forward.

(NIO) is one of the fastest Chinese EV companies, with ambitious plans to expand globally. However, recent production figures for October have been unimpressive, sending the stock back under $40/share. But this does not change the long-term prospects of the company. I believe NIO’s shares could easily double in the next 12 months based on my valuation.\nShort-term headwinds\nNIO Inc. just reported its deliveries for October,leaving investors anything but pleased. Overall, the company delivered 3,6677 vehicles, which was down 27.5% YoY. Though these headline numbers are disappointing, they are not the result of a slump in demand, as much as what I consider to be temporary headwinds. NIO cited “restructuring and manufacturing of upgrade lines” as the main reasons behind the decrease in deliveries. This does seem like a compelling argument, especially when we consider that new orders reached an all-time high in October.\nSo the real question would be, how much of an impact will these manufacturing upgrades have? Will we see them affect next month's numbers? And is there more that the company might not be telling us?\nIt is important to point out that, whatever happened to NIO in the last month, seems to be an isolated event. Rivals like Li Auto (LI) and XPeng Inc. (XPEV) delivered month-on-month increases.Though chip shortages and'' supply constraints” have surely had an impact on all these companies, NIO’s rivals seem to have fared better. Having said that, I do believe NIO will overcome these short-term headwinds, and still holds the most promise looking forward.\nLong-term tailwinds\nDespite the poor monthly results, the long-term prospects of NIO remain attractive, nothing has changed there. The issue of manufacturing has been widely discussed since NIO doesn’t have its production facilities yet. However, back in May,NIO renewed its agreement with Jianghuai Automobile Group Co (JAC). Through this agreement, NIO expects to double its production, up to 240,000 units per year from now to 2024.\nMore importantly though, NIO has even more ambitious plans in the future, since the company will be spearheading the construction of the Neo Park, an industrial cluster for EVs based in the city of Hefei.\n\n Neo Park in the capital of Anhui province will have production capacities for one million electric cars and 100 GWh of batteries per year on an area of 11.3 square kilometres, as well as research and development facilities, according to Chinese media reports on the start of construction. More than 50,000 jobs are planned, including more than 10,000 in research and development. The initial investment is 50 billion yuan (about 6.4 billion euros).\n\nSource:Electrive.com\nFor these reasons, I am not concerned when it comes to NIO’s long-term production capabilities.\nThe other significant tailwind for NIO is its impending international expansion. NIO is already doing very well in China, as new orders are still holding strong even in October. It is true though that NIO faces intense competition in this area, few of the up and coming Chinese EV companies have any current plans for international expansion, which NIO does.\nNIO launched its ES8 in Norway one month ago, on the 1st of October, and this might also be partly behind the recent slowdown in production. NIO has shifted its focus towards this region, as it seeks to get a foot into Europe’s largest EV market. NIO has also brought its “lifestyle brand” to Norway, opening up a NIO House in Oslo, and partnering up with two local artists, Anette Moi and Sandra Blikas, to launch its NIO Norway collection. The company plans to expand from Oslo and have 20 NIO Power stations in Oslo by the end of 2022. Though these are ambitious plans, it's important to note that revenues and sales from Norway are not expected to be sizable during this first phase.\n\n Regarding the delivery in Norway, we believe for this year, the contribution is not going to be that significant because our priority is to make sure we can ensure high user satisfaction in the Norway market by building our brand, expanding our sales and service network.\n\nSource:William Bin Li, CEO, NIO Q2 2021 earnings conference call\nUltimately though, NIO is laying the groundwork for prolonged long-term success, growing both its brand and production capacity.\nValuation\nNIO is a fast-growing company in the EV sector, and while high revenue growth is expected, profitability is still far away. With that said, I believe the most adequate way to value such a company is by utilising a Price/Sales ratio. Using current analyst estimates from Seeking Alpha, and assuming a future rate of dilution and multiple, we can arrive at a target price for NIO.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nLet’s take the year 2023, which has estimates by 20 analysts, giving us a reasonable margin of safety. Estimates for 2023 range from $10,66B to $17,61B. I’ll use a conservative middle range number of $14B. December 2022 is about 2 years away, so we should also take into account some share dilution. Let’s assume a generous 6% rate of dilution, putting NIO’s outstanding shares close to 2B. Assuming a P/S ratio of 12, slightly below today’s, we would achieve a target price of $84/share. This is over twice today’s price, a 100% possible gain in slightly over two years.\nRisks\nAlthough I am bullish on NIO and the EV sector, there are important risk factors that we must take into account.\nFor starters, there is the persistent threat of chip shortages. CNBC recently reported that the shortage could last until 2023, which would certainly put a dampener on worldwide production.\nAnother important but less discussed issue, though, is the fact that large quantities of lithium are required to produce the batteries that power EVs. In the last year, lithium prices have more than quadrupled, and this may become an issue moving forward. Higher lithium prices will either limit production or hurt margins, neither of which is a good outcome for EV makers.\nLastly, NIO, together with other Chinese EV companies, may faces the threat of regulation. \nTakeaway\nIn conclusion, NIO is at these prices one of my highest conviction plays. $40/share is a great place to accumulate given the increased interest by both investors and consumers in the EV space. NIO is my favourite company both home and abroad, given its growth plans and a strong emphasis on building brand value. The current headwinds will be temporary, and growth will resume soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":693326033,"gmtCreate":1639974192953,"gmtModify":1639974193186,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hold","listText":"Hold","text":"Hold","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693326033","repostId":"2192989909","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2192989909","pubTimestamp":1639959739,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2192989909?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-20 08:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sell-Off?

Look no further.","content":"<p>Even though the <b>S&P 500</b> is trading close to its all-time high, tech investors have been feeling the heat as highly valued stocks have been dragged down. As the year comes to a close, we're taking a look at some beaten-down stocks that we think the market has wrong.</p>\n<p>Three longtime Fool contributors picked their favorite stock for 2022 that was off its high 50% or more. They came up with <b>Chewy</b> (NYSE:CHWY), <b>Palantir Technologies</b> (NYSE:PLTR), and <b>Lemonade</b> (NYSE:LMND).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b9b677e425179be95416c5a1a9af331\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>After months on a leash, this stock could run again soon<b> </b></h2>\n<p><b>Will Healy</b> <b>(Chewy): </b>Chewy has carved out a niche for itself in the pet supply business. This e-commerce stock has stood out over prospective competitors such as <b>Amazon</b> through a higher level of customer interaction. The company stands by its 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee and offers its customer a personal touch, which has built loyalty among its customer base.</p>\n<p>Chewy stock thrived during the pandemic, but interestingly, near-term concerns appear to hinge on the concept of pet ownership, not Chewy's performance. Having a pet became more attractive during the pandemic, according to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Consequently, investors seem worried that the end of the lockdowns would lead to less interest in pet ownership, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. Such concerns helped put Chewy in the doghouse as it dropped by more than 50% since peaking in February.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, investors should not expect Chewy to roll over permanently. This year, the company partnered with <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TRUP\">Trupanion</a></b> to offer pet health insurance. And despite worries, Chewy also increased net sales per active customer by 15% over the last year to $419.</p>\n<p>Given that surge, it should not surprise shareholders that the company reported over $6.5 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2021, 27% more than in the first three quarters of 2020. This reduced the net loss in the first 39 weeks of 2021 to just over $10 million, primarily by slowing the growth in the cost of goods sold to 23%. Chewy lost close to $114 million during the same period in 2020.</p>\n<p>For the full year, Chewy forecasts revenue at approximately $8.9 billion. If that holds, it would signify 25% higher revenue year over year. Admittedly, that also points to a fourth-quarter sales forecast of $2.42 billion at the midpoint, which would mean a more modest 18% increase.</p>\n<p>However, thanks to that rising revenue and falling stock price, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 2.8. This closely approximates Chewy's sales multiple from two years ago, before the start of the pandemic. Such a P/S ratio and the prospects for further growth could make Chewy an increasingly attractive buying opportunity.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba74f68d31b524a7f7ac918526f7d6ef\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Cutting-edge artificial intelligence at a discount</h2>\n<p><b>Danny Vena (Palantir):</b> When the stock market swoons, it sometimes throws out the baby with the bathwater, as the old saying goes. This presents savvy investors with an opportunity to pick up shares of high-growth companies on the cheap. That is certainly the case with Palantir Technologies.</p>\n<p>In the wake of 9/11, it became clear that the U.S. government needed a way to gather, analyze, and share siloed data trapped in aging software systems across various intelligence agencies that didn't communicate.</p>\n<p>Peter Thiel, one of the co-founders of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> Holdings</b>, developed an elegant solution: a data mining tool that could collect information from across thousands of government databases and assemble a puzzle from pieces left by would-be terrorists. By using machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, it could distinguish patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed -- and Palantir was born.</p>\n<p>Palantir has the ability to fuse together seemingly unrelated factoids, giving intelligence officials advance notice for potential terrorist attacks. The system is able to stitch together seemingly disparate pieces of information to create a picture -- a one-way plane ticket; large, frequent withdrawals from foreign bank accounts; a rented condo; repeated calls to known terrorist safe havens; a rented truck; and the purchase of theme park tickets -- and in doing so identify a potential terrorist attack.</p>\n<p>No longer relegated to just government agencies, Palantir's technology can be deployed by commercial enterprises to gather unstructured, siloed data across legacy systems and assemble it in one place, thereby providing keen and valuable insights -- and business is booming.</p>\n<p>In the third quarter, total revenue grew 36% year over year, but revenue from U.S. enterprise businesses surged 103%, as Palantir's commercial customer count grew 46%. In fact, since Dec. 31, 2020, its commercial customer count has increased 135%.</p>\n<p>Palantir closed 54 deals worth more than $1 million, of which 33 contracts were worth $5 million, and 18 were worth $10 million or more. The company's total remaining deal value -- similar to remaining performance obligation -- climbed 50% to $3.6 billion, giving keen insight into Palantir's future prospects.</p>\n<p>While the company isn't yet profitable, it generated operating cash flow of more than $100 million, which shows that much of the shortfall is related to non-cash expenses like depreciation.</p>\n<p>Even more compelling was management's commentary that it expects annual revenue growth of <i>at least</i> 30% or more through 2025.</p>\n<p>Yet even in light of its impressive results and stellar prospects, Palantir's stock has lost more than half its value, dragged down by the overall negative market sentiment. This gives investors the opportunity to buy into a wildly successful business at a significant discount.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30b284af113c2b4d0df7ea59151db25a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><b>This insurance disruptor may be down, but it's not out</b></h2>\n<p><b>Brian Withers (Lemonade):</b> Lemonade is disrupting the insurance industry with products that embody the company's tag line, \"Instant everything. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RDR.SI\">Incredible</a> prices.

This doesn't even include anything from its entry into auto insurance. In early November, the company tiptoed into this market with the announcement of its first auto policies available in Illinois. But, a few days later, it made a massive splash with the announcement of its acquisition of Metromile in an all-stock transaction. Management has estimated that Lemonade's customers spend more than $1 billion on auto insurance products from other companies. When this deal closes in the second quarter of 2022, the 1 million-plus Lemonade customers will have access to Lemonade-branded auto policies. As a Lemonade shareholder, this is certainly well worth waiting for.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, investors can get this innovative insurance disruptor with an impressive moat on sale. The market has bid down this insurance technology stock close to an all-time low.

As the year comes to a close, we're taking a look at some beaten-down stocks that we think the market has wrong.\nThree longtime Fool contributors picked their favorite stock for 2022 that was off its high 50% or more. They came up with Chewy (NYSE:CHWY), Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR), and Lemonade (NYSE:LMND).\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAfter months on a leash, this stock could run again soon \nWill Healy (Chewy): Chewy has carved out a niche for itself in the pet supply business. This e-commerce stock has stood out over prospective competitors such as Amazon through a higher level of customer interaction. The company stands by its 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee and offers its customer a personal touch, which has built loyalty among its customer base.\nChewy stock thrived during the pandemic, but interestingly, near-term concerns appear to hinge on the concept of pet ownership, not Chewy's performance. Having a pet became more attractive during the pandemic, according to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Consequently, investors seem worried that the end of the lockdowns would lead to less interest in pet ownership, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. Such concerns helped put Chewy in the doghouse as it dropped by more than 50% since peaking in February.\nNonetheless, investors should not expect Chewy to roll over permanently. This year, the company partnered with Trupanion to offer pet health insurance. And despite worries, Chewy also increased net sales per active customer by 15% over the last year to $419.\nGiven that surge, it should not surprise shareholders that the company reported over $6.5 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2021, 27% more than in the first three quarters of 2020. This reduced the net loss in the first 39 weeks of 2021 to just over $10 million, primarily by slowing the growth in the cost of goods sold to 23%. Chewy lost close to $114 million during the same period in 2020.\nFor the full year, Chewy forecasts revenue at approximately $8.9 billion. If that holds, it would signify 25% higher revenue year over year. Admittedly, that also points to a fourth-quarter sales forecast of $2.42 billion at the midpoint, which would mean a more modest 18% increase.\nHowever, thanks to that rising revenue and falling stock price, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 2.8. This closely approximates Chewy's sales multiple from two years ago, before the start of the pandemic. Such a P/S ratio and the prospects for further growth could make Chewy an increasingly attractive buying opportunity.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nCutting-edge artificial intelligence at a discount\nDanny Vena (Palantir): When the stock market swoons, it sometimes throws out the baby with the bathwater, as the old saying goes. This presents savvy investors with an opportunity to pick up shares of high-growth companies on the cheap. That is certainly the case with Palantir Technologies.\nIn the wake of 9/11, it became clear that the U.S. government needed a way to gather, analyze, and share siloed data trapped in aging software systems across various intelligence agencies that didn't communicate.\nPeter Thiel, one of the co-founders of PayPal Holdings, developed an elegant solution: a data mining tool that could collect information from across thousands of government databases and assemble a puzzle from pieces left by would-be terrorists. By using machine learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, it could distinguish patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed -- and Palantir was born.\nPalantir has the ability to fuse together seemingly unrelated factoids, giving intelligence officials advance notice for potential terrorist attacks. The system is able to stitch together seemingly disparate pieces of information to create a picture -- a one-way plane ticket; large, frequent withdrawals from foreign bank accounts; a rented condo; repeated calls to known terrorist safe havens; a rented truck; and the purchase of theme park tickets -- and in doing so identify a potential terrorist attack.\nNo longer relegated to just government agencies, Palantir's technology can be deployed by commercial enterprises to gather unstructured, siloed data across legacy systems and assemble it in one place, thereby providing keen and valuable insights -- and business is booming.\nIn the third quarter, total revenue grew 36% year over year, but revenue from U.S. enterprise businesses surged 103%, as Palantir's commercial customer count grew 46%. In fact, since Dec. 31, 2020, its commercial customer count has increased 135%.\nPalantir closed 54 deals worth more than $1 million, of which 33 contracts were worth $5 million, and 18 were worth $10 million or more. The company's total remaining deal value -- similar to remaining performance obligation -- climbed 50% to $3.6 billion, giving keen insight into Palantir's future prospects.\nWhile the company isn't yet profitable, it generated operating cash flow of more than $100 million, which shows that much of the shortfall is related to non-cash expenses like depreciation.\nEven more compelling was management's commentary that it expects annual revenue growth of at least 30% or more through 2025.\nYet even in light of its impressive results and stellar prospects, Palantir's stock has lost more than half its value, dragged down by the overall negative market sentiment. This gives investors the opportunity to buy into a wildly successful business at a significant discount.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThis insurance disruptor may be down, but it's not out\nBrian Withers (Lemonade): Lemonade is disrupting the insurance industry with products that embody the company's tag line, \"Instant everything. Incredible prices. Big heart.\" Its co-founders, Daniel Schreiber and Shai Wininger, wanted to build a different kind of insurance company. In the S-1 filing, they described it as \"rebuilding insurance from the ground up on a digital substrate and an innovative business model\" to make insurance \"more delightful, more affordable, more precise, and more socially impactful.\" From its results, they seem to be doing just that.\nThe table below includes selected results from the latest earnings report. Not only is the company collecting 84% more premiums year over year, but its premiums per customer are also gaining ground at an impressive 26%.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ3 2020\nQ2 2021\nQ3 2021 \nChange (QOQ)\nChange (YOY)\n\n\n\n\nIn force premium (IFP)\n$189 million\n$297 million\n$347 million\n17%\n84%\n\n\nCustomers\n0.94 million\n1.21 million\n1.36 million\n12%\n45%\n\n\nIFP per customer\n$201\n$246\n$254\n3%\n26%\n\n\n\nData source: Company earnings reports. QOQ = quarter over quarter. YOY = year over year.\nBut what savvy investors know is that these results are based only on its renters, life, pet, and homeowners insurance. This doesn't even include anything from its entry into auto insurance. In early November, the company tiptoed into this market with the announcement of its first auto policies available in Illinois. But, a few days later, it made a massive splash with the announcement of its acquisition of Metromile in an all-stock transaction. Management has estimated that Lemonade's customers spend more than $1 billion on auto insurance products from other companies. When this deal closes in the second quarter of 2022, the 1 million-plus Lemonade customers will have access to Lemonade-branded auto policies. As a Lemonade shareholder, this is certainly well worth waiting for.\nIn the meantime, investors can get this innovative insurance disruptor with an impressive moat on sale. The market has bid down this insurance technology stock close to an all-time low. With the stock down over 70% from its high, those who want to get a deal on this lemon may not get it at a better price than it is today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":554,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":877752901,"gmtCreate":1637989356819,"gmtModify":1637989356947,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"k","listText":"k","text":"k","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/877752901","repostId":"1187736093","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187736093","pubTimestamp":1637973799,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1187736093?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-27 08:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon faces Black Friday strikes by workers across Europe","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1187736093","media":"CNN","summary":"Amazon(AMZN)is facing strikes by warehouse workers and delivery drivers across Europe as its busiest","content":"<p>Amazon(AMZN)is facing strikes by warehouse workers and delivery drivers across Europe as its busiest weekend of the year begins.</p>\n<p>Labor unions in Germany, Italy and France are calling for the company to pay its workers fairly and respect their right to join unions.

But as Peter Lynch said in <i>One Up On Wall Street</i>, 'Long shots almost never pay off.'</p>\n<p>In the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, my choice may seem old fashioned; I still prefer profitable companies like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRMT\"><b>America's Car-Mart</b> </a>. Now, I'm not saying that the stock is necessarily undervalued today; but I can't shake an appreciation for the profitability of the business itself. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.</p>\n<p> View our latest analysis for America's Car-Mart </p>\n<h3>How Fast Is America's Car-Mart Growing?</h3>\n<p>If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS). Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. Who among us would not applaud America's Car-Mart's stratospheric annual EPS growth of 38%, compound, over the last three years? While that sort of growth rate isn't sustainable for long, it certainly catches my attention; like a crow with a sparkly stone.</p>\n<p>One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. I note that America's Car-Mart's revenue <i>from operations</i> was lower than its revenue in the last twelve months, so that could distort my analysis of its margins. America's Car-Mart shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 11% to 14%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in my book.</p>\n<p>In the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings, and revenue, over time. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36e529cf4eac6eb2614a02c51e2dbb1d\" tg-width=\"821\" tg-height=\"560\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">NasdaqGS:CRMT Earnings and Revenue History December 19th 2021</p>\n<p>Of course the knack is to find stocks that have their best days in the future, not in the past. You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for America's Car-Mart.</p>\n<h3>Are America's Car-Mart Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?</h3>\n<p>It makes me feel more secure owning shares in a company if insiders also own shares, thusly more closely aligning our interests. As a result, I'm encouraged by the fact that insiders own America's Car-Mart shares worth a considerable sum. To be specific, they have US$48m worth of shares. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. That amounts to 6.9% of the company, demonstrating a degree of high-level alignment with shareholders.</p>\n<p>It's good to see that insiders are invested in the company, but are remuneration levels reasonable? A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. I discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like America's Car-Mart with market caps between US$400m and US$1.6b is about US$2.3m.</p>\n<p>The America's Car-Mart CEO received total compensation of just US$798k in the year to . That looks like modest pay to me, and may hint at a certain respect for the interests of shareholders. While the level of CEO compensation isn't a huge factor in my view of the company, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.</p>\n<h3>Does America's Car-Mart Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?</h3>\n<p>America's Car-Mart's earnings per share growth have been levitating higher, like a mountain goat scaling the Alps. The cherry on top is that insiders own a bucket-load of shares, and the CEO pay seems really quite reasonable. The sharp increase in earnings could signal good business momentum.

But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.'\nIn the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, my choice may seem old fashioned; I still prefer profitable companies like America's Car-Mart . Now, I'm not saying that the stock is necessarily undervalued today; but I can't shake an appreciation for the profitability of the business itself. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.\n View our latest analysis for America's Car-Mart \nHow Fast Is America's Car-Mart Growing?\nIf you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS). Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. Who among us would not applaud America's Car-Mart's stratospheric annual EPS growth of 38%, compound, over the last three years? While that sort of growth rate isn't sustainable for long, it certainly catches my attention; like a crow with a sparkly stone.\nOne way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. I note that America's Car-Mart's revenue from operations was lower than its revenue in the last twelve months, so that could distort my analysis of its margins. America's Car-Mart shareholders can take confidence from the fact that EBIT margins are up from 11% to 14%, and revenue is growing. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in my book.\nIn the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings, and revenue, over time. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers.\nNasdaqGS:CRMT Earnings and Revenue History December 19th 2021\nOf course the knack is to find stocks that have their best days in the future, not in the past. You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for America's Car-Mart.\nAre America's Car-Mart Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?\nIt makes me feel more secure owning shares in a company if insiders also own shares, thusly more closely aligning our interests. As a result, I'm encouraged by the fact that insiders own America's Car-Mart shares worth a considerable sum. To be specific, they have US$48m worth of shares. That's a lot of money, and no small incentive to work hard. That amounts to 6.9% of the company, demonstrating a degree of high-level alignment with shareholders.\nIt's good to see that insiders are invested in the company, but are remuneration levels reasonable? A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. I discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like America's Car-Mart with market caps between US$400m and US$1.6b is about US$2.3m.\nThe America's Car-Mart CEO received total compensation of just US$798k in the year to . That looks like modest pay to me, and may hint at a certain respect for the interests of shareholders. While the level of CEO compensation isn't a huge factor in my view of the company, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.\nDoes America's Car-Mart Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?\nAmerica's Car-Mart's earnings per share growth have been levitating higher, like a mountain goat scaling the Alps. The cherry on top is that insiders own a bucket-load of shares, and the CEO pay seems really quite reasonable. The sharp increase in earnings could signal good business momentum. America's Car-Mart certainly ticks a few of my boxes, so I think it's probably well worth further consideration.

(U) is uniquely positioned to monetize the metaverse megatrend with its leading game engine and Weta Digital acquisition. The rise of the metaverse should generate new revenue streams for the company to build digital infrastructure beyond the gaming vertical. In addition, Unity is also well positioned to participate in the NFT economy. Although the stock's high valuation may keep some investors on the sideline, investors should keep a close eye on this highly differentiated company.</p>\n<p>Opportunity in the metaverse is the main topic we will explore in this article.

Revenue grew 42.6% y/y to $286 million, beating consensus estimates by 5.7%. Gross margin came in at 80.9%, while operating margin came in at -4.2%, the same as a year ago. EPS for the quarter was -$0.06.</p>\n<p>Revenue growth for the quarter was driven by 973 customers who each generated over $100,000 of revenue over the past year, who collectively make up 77% of total sales. Net expansion rate for the quarter was a strong 142%, meaning existing customers drove nearly all of the growth in Q3.</p>\n<p><b>Business</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc1d5a36bbc7d58b19130bb79aff66f8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"242\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Unity</span></p>\n<p>In the beginning, the company's game engine was focused on creating free-to-play mobile titles monetized via ads. Later, the game engine was enhanced to serve customers interested in building 3D content outside of gaming. Today, Unity is the world's leading platform for creating and operating interactive, real-time 3D content, serving game developers and other creators.</p>\n<p>The company operates under two main segments: Create and Operate. Create is the company's game creation engine and contributes to 30% of the company's revenue.Over 50% of mobile games are built on its enterprise SaaS platform, more than five times the market share of the closest competitor. Operate is the company's ad and monetization business, which contributes to 60% of total revenue. With 3.4 billion monthly active users, the company has one of the world's largest ad networks.</p>\n<p><b>Weta Digital</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/28f0704be7ae0dc1e4815edfabc744ef\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"375\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Weta Digital</span></p>\n<p>In Q3 2021, the company surprised investors with the acquisition of Weta Digital, a visual effects technology company, for $1.6B. Weta is expected to add $70M of revenue in 2022, implying a sales multiple of 23x -- this is a rich multiple but well below Unity's own 36x forward sales multiple.</p>\n<p>The idea behind the acquisition is to expand U's addressable market into the film industry and beyond and close a technology gap with Epic's Unreal Engine. Weta's core business is creating VFX in film, or digital images on screen, including the<i>Lord of the Rings</i>franchise. The estimated incremental TAM of this acquisition is around $10 billion.</p>\n<p>Weta's tools could help U expand beyond its dominant position in gaming, targeting new verticals such as NFTs, film production, CAD, and e-commerce. In addition, integration of Weta into U's platform should give game developers access to Weta's art assets, creating a new stream of revenue for the company.</p>\n<p>After the acquisition of Weta, U seems to be well-positioned to capture new revenue streams in the metaverse: digital infrastructure and NFTs. Before we get into U's competitive position, let's go over the rise of the metaverse and NFTs.</p>\n<p><b>The Age of The Metaverse</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fa879b72fb78d3510789268535ce3ad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Unity</span></p>\n<p>When Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook (FB) would become a metaverse company, it shook the tech industry. Facebook, renamed Meta, has staked its reputation and billions of dollars to help transition the world from mobile-first to metaverse-first. An old concept with origins in science fiction, the metaverse is now fully embraced by the mainstream.</p>\n<p>While there are many complex definitions of the metaverse, one simple but still accurate way to think about the metaverse is that it is a more immersive and interoperable internet. The metaverse should be a seamless connection of multiple \"digital universes,\" for example, \"walking\" out of a Facebook hangout room and right into a Fortnite battle while wearing the same digital shoes, which you own as an NFT.</p>\n<p>A more immersive and seamless internet should lead to more time spent on the internet, and with more time spent comes more economic activities conducted on the internet. While most of us are accustomed to shopping and banking online, few of us have the same sense of ownership of our digital assets as our physical assets. Without a sense of ownership, the vision of a truly immersive internet -- or the metaverse -- cannot come true. This is because people will likely reject the idea of having no ownership of a metaverse in which they spend so much of their waking hours.</p>\n<p>I believe blockchain technology is catalyzing the transformation of the internet from web 2.0 to web 3.0 (or \"web3\"). What makes web3 different is that it introduces digital property rights that depend on code rather than on the arbitrary decisions of governments across the globe. Both fungible and non-fungible tokens will be important building blocks of web3.</p>\n<p>An NFT is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain. This data unit could represent anything: a digital gaming item such as a sword, a picture, a video, birth certificate, or title to your home. The NFT as we know it today is a bearer instrument, which means whoever holds the private keys owns the data.</p>\n<p>In my view, NFTs will rise concurrently with the metaverse because they are codependent. NFTs need the metaverse's digital infrastructure for distribution, and the digital infrastructure needs NFTs to imbue the metaverse with a sense of ownership for users.</p>\n<p><b>Unity's Metaverse Opportunities</b></p>\n<p>Unity seems well-positioned to capture revenue streams from both buildings, the digital infrastructure of the metaverse, and participating in the NFT economy.</p>\n<p>U's core offering is its game engine, which offers digital infrastructures which developers can assemble and build on top of to create the digital worlds of their imagination. This is difficult to describe in writing, so I recommend that readers who are confused about this point watch how developers use Unity to develop games. For example, this short YouTube tutorial clearly illustrates how developers utilize Unity to create video games.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34a1c8897422b4646cea32dc9dd96a1c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"273\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Weta Digital</span></p>\n<p>Similarly, Weta Digital offers tools to build digital infrastructure for films using VFX technology. Films are different from games in that films offer a much more realistic visual experience than games -- think Lord of the Rings (a film) compared to the typical gaming environment such as Fortnite. Combining Unity's game engine and Weta's VFX technology, the company now has the technology stack to create hyper-realistic digital environments for the metaverse. Again, this concept may be easier to grasp with a video.</p>\n<p>After U integrates Weta, we expect Weta's VFX tools and art library to be available to U content creators, who could leverage these combined capabilities to craft digital assets that could be tokenized and sold as NFTs. While this is speculative, both the technology and market already exist for U to tap into the rapidly growing NFT economy.</p>\n<p>Today, the total value of NFTs issued on the Ethereum (ETH-USD) blockchain alone has already exceeded $14 billion. In 3Q21, NFT trading volume hit $10.7 billion, up 704% from the previous quarter. Needless to say, the NFT market is already big and in hypergrowth mode.</p>\n<p>60% of U's revenue comes from its Operate segment, primarily through revenue-share and usage-based models. This segment offers two monetization products: Unity Ads and Unity IAP (in-app purchases). We can easily envision NFTs turbocharging the Unity IAP business by enabling ownership of digital assets which could live in gaming and other digital universes.</p>\n<p><b>Financial</b></p>\n<p>Sell-side consensus is forecasting revenues to grow by 41.1% this fiscal year, reaching $1.1 billion, and by 28.4% the following fiscal year, reaching $1.4 billion. The 28% growth in FY22 seems conservative, so if U doesn't beat this number significantly, I have a hard time seeing the stock justifying its rich multiple (see Trading & Valuation section).</p>\n<p>Consensus is forecasting EBIT margin to expand by 52 basis points this fiscal year to -6.0% and expand by 358 basis points the following fiscal year to -2.5%. Going forward, consensus is forecasting EPS to improve to -$0.26 this fiscal year and to improve to -$0.15 the following fiscal year. Note that this is a non-GAAP EPS number, which excludes large amounts of stock-based compensation (standard practice for fast-growing software businesses). The consensus GAAP EPS number is -$1.56 for 2022 vs. -$0.15 non-GAAP.</p>\n<p>While it does not appear there is any hope for the company to turn profitable in the next few years. However, free cash flow is expected to turn positive in 2023 with a nearly immaterial $0.7M. If this occurs, the business will likely be viewed as \"self-funding,\" which should help sentiment. However, FCF does not take into account shareholder dilution and repurchase expenses related to stock-based compensation.</p>\n<p>With net cash of $626 million, U has a great balance sheet. The company is expected to burn around $180M in cash in 2021 and 2022 before turning FCF positive, leaving plenty of cash for the company to work with.</p>\n<p><b>Trading & Valuation</b></p>\n<p>U currently trades at around $177 per share, a market value of $51 billion, and an enterprise value of $50 billion. The stock does not pay a dividend compared to a dividend yield of 1.2% for the S&P 500.</p>\n<p>The sentiment is bullish on the stock, though it seems to be a target for short-sellers. U performed very well over the past year, returning 30% points more than the S&P 500, or 63.1% in absolute return. The stock is trading 52% above its 200-day moving average, 16% below its 52-week high of $210.00, and 133% above its 52-week low of $76.00 per share. However, short interest is high at 6.8%, reflecting some skepticism from professional investors.</p>\n<p>Using consensus estimates for next fiscal year's results (FY2), U is currently trading at an EV/Sales multiple of 36.3, a 1,240% premium to the S&P 500. Since EBIT and EPS are expected to be negative, we will only use the EV/Sales metric.</p>\n<p>36x forward sales is very rich and bakes in a tremendous amount of optimism. Consensus sales growth for FY23 through FY24 only ranges from 27-28%, which I believe is well below buy-side expectations. In other words, if U doesn't beat consensus significantly, the stock will likely underperform. However, judging from strong growth from previous quarters, including the 43% y/y revenue growth in Q3, and the increasing demand for Unity's platform, the company looks poised to beat forward growth estimates.</p>\n<p>Unity's EV/Sales metric has ranged from a low of 20x to a high of 45x, with a large amount of volatility. In my view, this is a sign that the market is still trying to reach a consensus on how to appropriately value the stock. Given the stock's recent run-up, I believe it will be prudent to wait for a better entry point, such as when the market's enthusiasm for the metaverse gets supplanted by the next \"hot thing\". I will revisit when the stock trades around a 25x EV/Sales multiple.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>While the vision for the metaverse is exciting, we are very early days in its evolution. The addressable market for the metaverse is still being defined, and business models are being tested. This leads to little visibility for individual companies trying to establish a position in this emerging industry.</p>\n<p>While Unity looks like it is well-positioned for the rise of the metaverse, the stock trades at a nose bleed valuation. In addition, the company isn't expected to be profitable in the near to medium term. Given the lack of support from free cash flow, Unity's EV/Sales multiple is at risk of being re-rated significantly lower when the company hits a speed bump. Thus, the stock may only be appropriate for investors with a high-risk tolerance.</p>\n<p>Unity's game engine faces competition from Epic's Unreal engine at the high-end, Roblox (RBLX) at the low end, and proprietary in-house platforms. Each of the three major competitors has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, Unity seems to have the upper hand in ease-of-use, mobile games, and AR/VR capabilities, while Unreal has the upper hand in complex gameplay, console games, and HD graphics. However, it is more difficult to predict the relative competitive advantages each company will enjoy in the rapidly emerging metaverse.</p>\n<p>The majority of Unity's revenues comes from game developers who develop mobile games distributed on Alphabet's (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Apple's (AAPL) app stores. While this isn't an immediate concern, investors should know Unity's dependence on these two tech giants.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>After the acquisition of Weta, Unity seems to be well-positioned to capture new revenue streams in the metaverse. The company is poised to play a role in building the digital infrastructure of the metaverse and play a meaningful in the emerging NFT economy. However, the stock's very high valuation and current hype around the metaverse are cause for concern. Given the lack of profitability, high valuation, and lack of near-term visibility, I will continue to watch this very compelling company on the sidelines.</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>Unity Software's Metaverse 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\">\nUnity Software's Metaverse Opportunity\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-11-23 14:20 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4471322-unity-softwares-metaverse-opportunity><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nUnity, after the acquisition of Weta, seems to be well-positioned to capture new revenue streams in the metaverse.\nUnity seems well-positioned to capture revenue streams from both building ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4471322-unity-softwares-metaverse-opportunity\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"U":"Unity Software Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4471322-unity-softwares-metaverse-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1147489710","content_text":"Summary\n\nUnity, after the acquisition of Weta, seems to be well-positioned to capture new revenue streams in the metaverse.\nUnity seems well-positioned to capture revenue streams from both building the digital infrastructure of the metaverse and participating in the NFT economy.\nHowever, at over 38 times forward sales and a frenzy of optimism, the stock might be ahead of the near-term fundamentals.\n\nBlackSalmon/iStock via Getty Images\nUnity Software Inc. (U) is uniquely positioned to monetize the metaverse megatrend with its leading game engine and Weta Digital acquisition. The rise of the metaverse should generate new revenue streams for the company to build digital infrastructure beyond the gaming vertical. In addition, Unity is also well positioned to participate in the NFT economy. Although the stock's high valuation may keep some investors on the sideline, investors should keep a close eye on this highly differentiated company.\nOpportunity in the metaverse is the main topic we will explore in this article. In addition, we will discuss U's latest earnings, business, financials, trading & valuation, and risks so readers can reach their own informed decision on the stock.\n(Note: Unless otherwise noted, all forecasted financials refers to consensus estimates and all historical financial data comes from the company.)\nEarnings\nWe will start by quickly going over the company's latest earnings to level-set everyone before moving to the main topic of considering the company's business fundamentals.\nU reported FY Q3 earnings (FY ending Dec) on 11/10/2021, resulting in the stock trading up 2.8% the day after earnings. Revenue grew 42.6% y/y to $286 million, beating consensus estimates by 5.7%. Gross margin came in at 80.9%, while operating margin came in at -4.2%, the same as a year ago. EPS for the quarter was -$0.06.\nRevenue growth for the quarter was driven by 973 customers who each generated over $100,000 of revenue over the past year, who collectively make up 77% of total sales. Net expansion rate for the quarter was a strong 142%, meaning existing customers drove nearly all of the growth in Q3.\nBusiness\nSource: Unity\nIn the beginning, the company's game engine was focused on creating free-to-play mobile titles monetized via ads. Later, the game engine was enhanced to serve customers interested in building 3D content outside of gaming. Today, Unity is the world's leading platform for creating and operating interactive, real-time 3D content, serving game developers and other creators.\nThe company operates under two main segments: Create and Operate. Create is the company's game creation engine and contributes to 30% of the company's revenue.Over 50% of mobile games are built on its enterprise SaaS platform, more than five times the market share of the closest competitor. Operate is the company's ad and monetization business, which contributes to 60% of total revenue. With 3.4 billion monthly active users, the company has one of the world's largest ad networks.\nWeta Digital\nSource: Weta Digital\nIn Q3 2021, the company surprised investors with the acquisition of Weta Digital, a visual effects technology company, for $1.6B. Weta is expected to add $70M of revenue in 2022, implying a sales multiple of 23x -- this is a rich multiple but well below Unity's own 36x forward sales multiple.\nThe idea behind the acquisition is to expand U's addressable market into the film industry and beyond and close a technology gap with Epic's Unreal Engine. Weta's core business is creating VFX in film, or digital images on screen, including theLord of the Ringsfranchise. The estimated incremental TAM of this acquisition is around $10 billion.\nWeta's tools could help U expand beyond its dominant position in gaming, targeting new verticals such as NFTs, film production, CAD, and e-commerce. In addition, integration of Weta into U's platform should give game developers access to Weta's art assets, creating a new stream of revenue for the company.\nAfter the acquisition of Weta, U seems to be well-positioned to capture new revenue streams in the metaverse: digital infrastructure and NFTs. Before we get into U's competitive position, let's go over the rise of the metaverse and NFTs.\nThe Age of The Metaverse\nSource: Unity\nWhen Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook (FB) would become a metaverse company, it shook the tech industry. Facebook, renamed Meta, has staked its reputation and billions of dollars to help transition the world from mobile-first to metaverse-first. An old concept with origins in science fiction, the metaverse is now fully embraced by the mainstream.\nWhile there are many complex definitions of the metaverse, one simple but still accurate way to think about the metaverse is that it is a more immersive and interoperable internet. The metaverse should be a seamless connection of multiple \"digital universes,\" for example, \"walking\" out of a Facebook hangout room and right into a Fortnite battle while wearing the same digital shoes, which you own as an NFT.\nA more immersive and seamless internet should lead to more time spent on the internet, and with more time spent comes more economic activities conducted on the internet. While most of us are accustomed to shopping and banking online, few of us have the same sense of ownership of our digital assets as our physical assets. Without a sense of ownership, the vision of a truly immersive internet -- or the metaverse -- cannot come true. This is because people will likely reject the idea of having no ownership of a metaverse in which they spend so much of their waking hours.\nI believe blockchain technology is catalyzing the transformation of the internet from web 2.0 to web 3.0 (or \"web3\"). What makes web3 different is that it introduces digital property rights that depend on code rather than on the arbitrary decisions of governments across the globe. Both fungible and non-fungible tokens will be important building blocks of web3.\nAn NFT is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain. This data unit could represent anything: a digital gaming item such as a sword, a picture, a video, birth certificate, or title to your home. The NFT as we know it today is a bearer instrument, which means whoever holds the private keys owns the data.\nIn my view, NFTs will rise concurrently with the metaverse because they are codependent. NFTs need the metaverse's digital infrastructure for distribution, and the digital infrastructure needs NFTs to imbue the metaverse with a sense of ownership for users.\nUnity's Metaverse Opportunities\nUnity seems well-positioned to capture revenue streams from both buildings, the digital infrastructure of the metaverse, and participating in the NFT economy.\nU's core offering is its game engine, which offers digital infrastructures which developers can assemble and build on top of to create the digital worlds of their imagination. This is difficult to describe in writing, so I recommend that readers who are confused about this point watch how developers use Unity to develop games. For example, this short YouTube tutorial clearly illustrates how developers utilize Unity to create video games.\nSource: Weta Digital\nSimilarly, Weta Digital offers tools to build digital infrastructure for films using VFX technology. Films are different from games in that films offer a much more realistic visual experience than games -- think Lord of the Rings (a film) compared to the typical gaming environment such as Fortnite. Combining Unity's game engine and Weta's VFX technology, the company now has the technology stack to create hyper-realistic digital environments for the metaverse. Again, this concept may be easier to grasp with a video.\nAfter U integrates Weta, we expect Weta's VFX tools and art library to be available to U content creators, who could leverage these combined capabilities to craft digital assets that could be tokenized and sold as NFTs. While this is speculative, both the technology and market already exist for U to tap into the rapidly growing NFT economy.\nToday, the total value of NFTs issued on the Ethereum (ETH-USD) blockchain alone has already exceeded $14 billion. In 3Q21, NFT trading volume hit $10.7 billion, up 704% from the previous quarter. Needless to say, the NFT market is already big and in hypergrowth mode.\n60% of U's revenue comes from its Operate segment, primarily through revenue-share and usage-based models. This segment offers two monetization products: Unity Ads and Unity IAP (in-app purchases). We can easily envision NFTs turbocharging the Unity IAP business by enabling ownership of digital assets which could live in gaming and other digital universes.\nFinancial\nSell-side consensus is forecasting revenues to grow by 41.1% this fiscal year, reaching $1.1 billion, and by 28.4% the following fiscal year, reaching $1.4 billion. The 28% growth in FY22 seems conservative, so if U doesn't beat this number significantly, I have a hard time seeing the stock justifying its rich multiple (see Trading & Valuation section).\nConsensus is forecasting EBIT margin to expand by 52 basis points this fiscal year to -6.0% and expand by 358 basis points the following fiscal year to -2.5%. Going forward, consensus is forecasting EPS to improve to -$0.26 this fiscal year and to improve to -$0.15 the following fiscal year. Note that this is a non-GAAP EPS number, which excludes large amounts of stock-based compensation (standard practice for fast-growing software businesses). The consensus GAAP EPS number is -$1.56 for 2022 vs. -$0.15 non-GAAP.\nWhile it does not appear there is any hope for the company to turn profitable in the next few years. However, free cash flow is expected to turn positive in 2023 with a nearly immaterial $0.7M. If this occurs, the business will likely be viewed as \"self-funding,\" which should help sentiment. However, FCF does not take into account shareholder dilution and repurchase expenses related to stock-based compensation.\nWith net cash of $626 million, U has a great balance sheet. The company is expected to burn around $180M in cash in 2021 and 2022 before turning FCF positive, leaving plenty of cash for the company to work with.\nTrading & Valuation\nU currently trades at around $177 per share, a market value of $51 billion, and an enterprise value of $50 billion. The stock does not pay a dividend compared to a dividend yield of 1.2% for the S&P 500.\nThe sentiment is bullish on the stock, though it seems to be a target for short-sellers. U performed very well over the past year, returning 30% points more than the S&P 500, or 63.1% in absolute return. The stock is trading 52% above its 200-day moving average, 16% below its 52-week high of $210.00, and 133% above its 52-week low of $76.00 per share. However, short interest is high at 6.8%, reflecting some skepticism from professional investors.\nUsing consensus estimates for next fiscal year's results (FY2), U is currently trading at an EV/Sales multiple of 36.3, a 1,240% premium to the S&P 500. Since EBIT and EPS are expected to be negative, we will only use the EV/Sales metric.\n36x forward sales is very rich and bakes in a tremendous amount of optimism. Consensus sales growth for FY23 through FY24 only ranges from 27-28%, which I believe is well below buy-side expectations. In other words, if U doesn't beat consensus significantly, the stock will likely underperform. However, judging from strong growth from previous quarters, including the 43% y/y revenue growth in Q3, and the increasing demand for Unity's platform, the company looks poised to beat forward growth estimates.\nUnity's EV/Sales metric has ranged from a low of 20x to a high of 45x, with a large amount of volatility. In my view, this is a sign that the market is still trying to reach a consensus on how to appropriately value the stock. Given the stock's recent run-up, I believe it will be prudent to wait for a better entry point, such as when the market's enthusiasm for the metaverse gets supplanted by the next \"hot thing\". I will revisit when the stock trades around a 25x EV/Sales multiple.\nRisks\nWhile the vision for the metaverse is exciting, we are very early days in its evolution.

This leads to little visibility for individual companies trying to establish a position in this emerging industry.\nWhile Unity looks like it is well-positioned for the rise of the metaverse, the stock trades at a nose bleed valuation.

Given the lack of support from free cash flow, Unity's EV/Sales multiple is at risk of being re-rated significantly lower when the company hits a speed bump.

The omicron data was collected for the two months through November.\nSince being identified by South African scientists on Nov. 25, the omicron variant has fueled record case numbers across the country. Africa’s most developed economy has fully inoculated about 44% of its adult population over a seven-month period.\nIn the data that are being submitted to a preprint medical publication -- MedRxiv -- the authors adjusted for various confounding factors that could influence the results, including age, gender and whether the cases were known reinfections. For severity of disease after admission, they also adjusted for the presence of other illnesses and prior immunization.\nThe study also showed that those with omicron may have higher viral loads.\nThe study is “important,” though its use of so-called historic controls when comparing to the delta infections between April and November means its outcome may be biased by time issues, said Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the U.K.’s University of East Anglia.\n“So even though cases of omicron were less likely to end up in hospital than cases of delta, it is not possible to say whether this is due to inherent differences in virulence or whether this is due to higher population immunity in November compared to earlier in the year,” Hunter said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":595,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690743349,"gmtCreate":1639713164977,"gmtModify":1639713176628,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can add","listText":"Can add","text":"Can add","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690743349","repostId":"1115262079","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115262079","pubTimestamp":1639712748,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1115262079?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-17 11:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Missed Out on Tesla?

Taylor Carmichael nominated <b>Doximity </b>(NYSE:DOCS) and <b>OptimizeRx </b>(NASDAQ:OPRX) as two companies that would mesh well together in the telehealth space.</p>\n<p>This episode of \"The 5\" was <b>recorded on Oct. 21</b>.</p>\n<p><b>Taylor Carmichael:</b> I like the telehealth space, I'm a huge fan of telehealth in general. I think there's going to be a big transition for our society because the internet is faster, quicker, cheaper. I think more and more healthcare is going to shift online and more of this is transforming healthcare. The internet's been around for 20 years, 25 years, but it's still making these changes.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> companies I really love in the telehealth space, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of them is Doximity, just came public this year. DOCS is their ticker. Doximity is basically the <b>Facebook</b> of healthcare, the LinkedIn of healthcare. Eighty percent of doctors are on the Doximity platform, 90% of med students are on the Doximity platform. It is a huge networking site for healthcare, for doctors, and they've got three businesses that they run from their website. One is the LinkedIn for people in healthcare looking for jobs, that networking thing. You don't go to Facebook and you don't go to LinkedIn, you go to Doximity because that's where they all are. The other one they do is they do telehealth, so they compete with <b>Teladoc</b> and they actually did a lot more telehealth visits than (Teladoc) over the last year. That's actually why I got into the stock because I was just blown away.</p>\n<p>They rolled out Dialer, it's called Dialer. They rolled it out at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. The doctors on their platform just love Dialer because it allowed them to do telehealth through that network with their actual patients. It protected them, protected their privacy so the patients couldn't call them in the middle of the night or anything. That was the other one. Then of course, the third business is having that Facebook-type business where pharmaceutical companies and other people can reach doctors and other healthcare professionals. The advertising business, monetizing all those medical eyeballs. That's a big part of Doximity's plan.</p>\n<p>OptimizeRX is another much smaller company in the telehealth space, which I own both of these to give you just a warning, I guess, about my own bias. But I love both of these stocks. Optimize is a lot smaller, but they're focused in a different area that Doximity is not. OptimizeRX is focused on electronic health records. Electronic health records are those things your doctor's looking at when he's looking at his iPad. All your health records are going to be online pretty much, but there is no <b>Microsoft</b> in this area. There are like 500 or 600 software providers or a thousand. There's just a ton of little ones. OptimizeRX is putting together an entire network. They put it together. I think it's like 60% or 70% of doctors is their reach in that electronic health network. The idea is maybe to give a little link to a Harvard study when the doctor is looking at his notes about this new drugs so that the pharmaceutical companies can reach a doctor in the course of this workflow without interrupting his workflow and bring new -- because doctors always have to get update on new things, new studies, new drugs, new stuff. Optimize is a specialist at that. And I thought, wow, these two companies would really fit into the Doximity wheelhouse because it's all about connection, and healthcare connection, and reaching doctors. That would be my suggestion.</p>\n<p>But I agree with you, I don't know if anybody listens to me, [laughs] but both stocks have done actually really well. In fact, OptimizeRx has done better. I think it's about doubled this year. They're still small, I think it's a billion (market cap). It's a tiny company.

Taylor Carmichael nominated Doximity (NYSE:DOCS) and OptimizeRx (NASDAQ:OPRX) as two companies that would mesh well together in the telehealth space.\nThis episode of \"The 5\" was recorded on Oct. 21.\nTaylor Carmichael: I like the telehealth space, I'm a huge fan of telehealth in general. I think there's going to be a big transition for our society because the internet is faster, quicker, cheaper. I think more and more healthcare is going to shift online and more of this is transforming healthcare. The internet's been around for 20 years, 25 years, but it's still making these changes.\nTwo companies I really love in the telehealth space, one of them is Doximity, just came public this year. DOCS is their ticker. Doximity is basically the Facebook of healthcare, the LinkedIn of healthcare. Eighty percent of doctors are on the Doximity platform, 90% of med students are on the Doximity platform. It is a huge networking site for healthcare, for doctors, and they've got three businesses that they run from their website. One is the LinkedIn for people in healthcare looking for jobs, that networking thing. You don't go to Facebook and you don't go to LinkedIn, you go to Doximity because that's where they all are. The other one they do is they do telehealth, so they compete with Teladoc and they actually did a lot more telehealth visits than (Teladoc) over the last year. That's actually why I got into the stock because I was just blown away.\nThey rolled out Dialer, it's called Dialer. They rolled it out at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. The doctors on their platform just love Dialer because it allowed them to do telehealth through that network with their actual patients. It protected them, protected their privacy so the patients couldn't call them in the middle of the night or anything. That was the other one. Then of course, the third business is having that Facebook-type business where pharmaceutical companies and other people can reach doctors and other healthcare professionals. The advertising business, monetizing all those medical eyeballs. That's a big part of Doximity's plan.\nOptimizeRX is another much smaller company in the telehealth space, which I own both of these to give you just a warning, I guess, about my own bias. But I love both of these stocks. Optimize is a lot smaller, but they're focused in a different area that Doximity is not. OptimizeRX is focused on electronic health records. Electronic health records are those things your doctor's looking at when he's looking at his iPad. All your health records are going to be online pretty much, but there is no Microsoft in this area. There are like 500 or 600 software providers or a thousand. There's just a ton of little ones. OptimizeRX is putting together an entire network. They put it together. I think it's like 60% or 70% of doctors is their reach in that electronic health network. The idea is maybe to give a little link to a Harvard study when the doctor is looking at his notes about this new drugs so that the pharmaceutical companies can reach a doctor in the course of this workflow without interrupting his workflow and bring new -- because doctors always have to get update on new things, new studies, new drugs, new stuff. Optimize is a specialist at that. And I thought, wow, these two companies would really fit into the Doximity wheelhouse because it's all about connection, and healthcare connection, and reaching doctors. That would be my suggestion.\nBut I agree with you, I don't know if anybody listens to me, [laughs] but both stocks have done actually really well. In fact, OptimizeRx has done better. I think it's about doubled this year. They're still small, I think it's a billion (market cap). It's a tiny company. Doximity is a lot bigger, but they might be a good combo.\nJason Hall: It's interesting because it's one of those spaces that there are just dozens and dozens of companies that do these things. The potential for consolidation is enormous in that whole space. That's an interesting mix there, interesting potential mini-powerhouse, Taylor.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":59,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":824751992,"gmtCreate":1634358188076,"gmtModify":1634358289351,"author":{"id":"3563679388810703","authorId":"3563679388810703","name":"weifeng_86","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9cc9f3194863971bc80619291db737e0","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/824751992","repostId":"2175146556","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2175146556","pubTimestamp":1634328035,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2175146556?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-16 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St ends higher as Goldman rounds out parade of strong bank results","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2175146556","media":"Reuters","summary":"(For a Reuters live blog on U.S., UK and European stock markets, click LIVE/ or type LIVE/ in a news","content":"<p>(For a Reuters live blog on U.S., UK and European stock markets, click LIVE/ or type LIVE/ in a news window.)</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Retail sales up 0.7% in September despite shortages</li>\n <li>Goldman Sachs rises on strong third-quarter earnings (New throughout, updates prices, market activity and comments to close)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>NEW YORK, Oct 15 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended higher on Friday after Goldman Sachs became the latest big bank to report strong quarterly earnings, and Wall Street's three major indexes posted gains for the week.</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs Group shares jumped, giving the Dow its biggest boost, as a record wave of dealmaking activity drove a surge in the bank's quarterly profit.</p>\n<p>Other big lenders also rose and were among the biggest positive for the S&P 500.

They're thinking about what trends they want to buy into for the upcoming year and what stocks might help make them rich.</p><p>However, reflection is a two-way street. Just as there are great companies that can make investors wealthy, there are stocks that could cost investors a lot of money and should be avoided at all costs. Below are five stocks investors should consider selling right now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a8aaeae4465770036314f05da71f414\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>AMC Entertainment</h2><p>It's no secret that I believe movie theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC) is the most overvalued stock on Wall Street.</p><p>For those of you who may not have followed the AMC "made for TV drama" that's occurred this year, the company's shares are up more than 1,200% following an epic short squeeze earlier this year. Short-sellers (investors betting on a security's price to decline) were caught off-guard when AMC was able to save itself from imminent bankruptcy by selling 164 million shares of stock and issuing high-interest debt. But with this short squeeze now in the rearview mirror, AMC's abysmal operating performance, bloated balance sheet, and declining bargaining power with movie studios are in plain view.</p><p>For example, before the pandemic took effect, AMC was regularly securing theatrical exclusivity deals of 75 to 90 days. Nowadays, AMC is lucky to secure 45-day theatrical exclusivity. Even taking into account that most revenue is picked up in the first couple of weeks, this 30- to 45-day reduction in exclusivity is going to pinch AMC. It's also bad news considering that inflation-adjusted domestic box office sales have been in decline since 2002.</p><p>The bigger issue, as I've stated over and over, is AMC can't make good on its liabilities. It has $5.45 billion in outstanding debt at roughly an 8% average interest rate. Keep that rate in mind, because lending rates are pretty much at historic lows. It also has over $1 billion in aggregate debt due in late 2026 and mid-2027 that's valued at more than 30% below face value. With the company hemorrhaging cash and not able to sell any additional stock thanks to its impassioned but misguided retail investors, it looks to be making a slow walk toward a chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.</p><p>Suffice it to say, AMC Entertainment is a stock investors can confidently sell right now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b45c4bd410befdb22fd801c7758dfb71\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>MicroStrategy</h2><p>A second stock investors should strongly consider selling right now is "enterprise analytics software company" <b>MicroStrategy</b> (NASDAQ:MSTR). I have "enterprise analytics software company" in quotations because CEO Michael Saylor has effectively ignored this stagnant part of the company's operations and turned MicroStrategy into a leveraged gamble on <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC).</p><p>According to the company's investor presentation earlier this month, it's holding 122,478 Bitcoin at an average price of $29,861. The issue with this strategy is threefold, in my view.</p><p>First, I'm not convinced Bitcoin is a sound investment. I recently outlined my views on Bitcoin, which centers on its false scarcity and it's less-than-stellar network performance. Bitcoin is constantly being out-innovated when it comes to payments and nonfinancial blockchain applications.</p><p>Second, MicroStrategy destroyed a reasonably safe balance sheet by piling on more than $2 billion in debt and issuing $900 million in stock, all of which was used to buy Bitcoin. Saylor has leveraged a public company's future on an asset that produces nothing.</p><p>And third, I believe Saylor is a poor leader. Earlier this year, Saylor told the world in an interview to "go mortgage your house and buy Bitcoin with it." This is <i>incredibly</i> <i>bad</i> <i>advice</i>, and all the more reason to avoid MicroStrategy.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a442339ef77177eb97fecfa070c7ac0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Cassava Sciences</h2><p>Another stock investors can sell right now is clinical-stage biotech stock <b>Cassava Sciences</b> (NASDAQ:SAVA).</p><p>Cassava made waves in the first quarter when it announced positive interim analysis data from its open-label study of simufilam for patients with Alzheimer's disease. The data showed both cognition and behavior score improvements at the six-month mark.

They're thinking about what trends they want to buy into for the upcoming year and what stocks might help make them rich.However, reflection is a two-way street. Just as there are great companies that can make investors wealthy, there are stocks that could cost investors a lot of money and should be avoided at all costs. Below are five stocks investors should consider selling right now.Image source: Getty Images.AMC EntertainmentIt's no secret that I believe movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is the most overvalued stock on Wall Street.For those of you who may not have followed the AMC \"made for TV drama\" that's occurred this year, the company's shares are up more than 1,200% following an epic short squeeze earlier this year. Short-sellers (investors betting on a security's price to decline) were caught off-guard when AMC was able to save itself from imminent bankruptcy by selling 164 million shares of stock and issuing high-interest debt. But with this short squeeze now in the rearview mirror, AMC's abysmal operating performance, bloated balance sheet, and declining bargaining power with movie studios are in plain view.For example, before the pandemic took effect, AMC was regularly securing theatrical exclusivity deals of 75 to 90 days. Nowadays, AMC is lucky to secure 45-day theatrical exclusivity. Even taking into account that most revenue is picked up in the first couple of weeks, this 30- to 45-day reduction in exclusivity is going to pinch AMC. It's also bad news considering that inflation-adjusted domestic box office sales have been in decline since 2002.The bigger issue, as I've stated over and over, is AMC can't make good on its liabilities. It has $5.45 billion in outstanding debt at roughly an 8% average interest rate. Keep that rate in mind, because lending rates are pretty much at historic lows. It also has over $1 billion in aggregate debt due in late 2026 and mid-2027 that's valued at more than 30% below face value. With the company hemorrhaging cash and not able to sell any additional stock thanks to its impassioned but misguided retail investors, it looks to be making a slow walk toward a chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.Suffice it to say, AMC Entertainment is a stock investors can confidently sell right now.Image source: Getty Images.MicroStrategyA second stock investors should strongly consider selling right now is \"enterprise analytics software company\" MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR). I have \"enterprise analytics software company\" in quotations because CEO Michael Saylor has effectively ignored this stagnant part of the company's operations and turned MicroStrategy into a leveraged gamble on Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC).According to the company's investor presentation earlier this month, it's holding 122,478 Bitcoin at an average price of $29,861. The issue with this strategy is threefold, in my view.First, I'm not convinced Bitcoin is a sound investment. I recently outlined my views on Bitcoin, which centers on its false scarcity and it's less-than-stellar network performance. Bitcoin is constantly being out-innovated when it comes to payments and nonfinancial blockchain applications.Second, MicroStrategy destroyed a reasonably safe balance sheet by piling on more than $2 billion in debt and issuing $900 million in stock, all of which was used to buy Bitcoin. Saylor has leveraged a public company's future on an asset that produces nothing.And third, I believe Saylor is a poor leader. Earlier this year, Saylor told the world in an interview to \"go mortgage your house and buy Bitcoin with it.\" This is incredibly bad advice, and all the more reason to avoid MicroStrategy.Image source: Getty Images.Cassava SciencesAnother stock investors can sell right now is clinical-stage biotech stock Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA).Cassava made waves in the first quarter when it announced positive interim analysis data from its open-label study of simufilam for patients with Alzheimer's disease. The data showed both cognition and behavior score improvements at the six-month mark. Since Alzheimer's has no cure, any positive clinical data tends to be well-received.But there are two glaring issues that should send folks scurrying to the sidelines. First of all, the track record of success for clinical-stage therapeutics targeting Alzheimer's disease is incredibly low. While we've witnessed plenty of early stage success, virtually all late-stage Alzheimer's trials end in failure. This isn't a knock against the research, so much as recognizing that tackling the blood-brain barrier is tricky.The second concern is that Cassava Sciences is facing allegations of manipulating its trial data. The company also announced in November that federal agencies are investigating its practices, without specifically naming the federal agencies in question. Keeping in mind that some of the allegations have come from firms shorting the stock, this is a headache you're better off letting someone else deal with.Image source: Getty Images.GameStopInvestors should also considering selling the original meme stock, GameStop (NYSE:GME).A few weeks before AMC ascended to the heavens on its short squeeze, GameStop's high short interest attracted retail investors. In fact, GameStop's short interest was higher than any publicly traded company, as of mid-January, making it the perfect candidate for an epic squeeze. However, with this short-term event now over, investors are forced to grapple with GameStop's poor operating performance.On the positive side, GameStop was able to raise sufficient capital from selling its stock to rid its balance sheet of debt. This net-cash position, coupled with the long-term growth potential of digital gaming, means there are no bankruptcy concerns, unlike with AMC.But GameStop was notably late in shifting its strategy to include digital gaming. Nowadays, the company is busy shuttering stores in an effort to lower its expenses and back its way into the profit column. The company's large brick-and-mortar presence is expected to work against it for the foreseeable future, and could keep it from profitability for a few years.Further, Wall Street has been unimpressed with management's lack of concrete steps that'll be taken to turn the business around. Even with a hefty cash balance, GameStop is grossly overvalued.A Tesla Model S charging.
