More recently, uncertainty over how much Covid-19 will harm the economy has prompted more companies to hoard cash, said Kristine Hankins, a professor of finance at the University of Kentucky.\nU.S. publicly traded companies hold $2.7 trillion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, not counting real-estate and financial companies, according to S&P Global. That is up more than 90% from the fourth quarter of 2011.\nInterest rates are hovering around their all-time lows, so companies can get higher returns buying real estate than by keeping their money in low-risk bonds or other public securities, said Brian Kingston, chief executive of real estate at Brookfield Asset Management.\n“That cash is just sitting there in a not particularly productive way,” he said.\nOffice prices, meanwhile, have fallen in Manhattan, San Francisco, Chicago and other big cities during the pandemic, making investing in this real estate cheaper than it was 18 months ago, investors say.\nGoogle and its deep cash coffers have set it apart from most every other company in terms of an increasing appetite for real estate.Alphabet Inc.,Google’s parent, held $135.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of the second quarter of 2021, more than any other publicly traded company, not counting financial and real-estate firms, according to S&P Global.\n\nAlphabet is now one of the biggest real-estate owners in New York City and the U.S. It held $49.7 billion worth of land and buildings as of 2020, up from $5.2 billion in 2011.\nGoogle buys real estate because it wants to control the buildings it occupies, for example to make changes without having to get a landlord’s permission, said the company’s director of public policy and government affairs, William Floyd.\nAmazon, which owns a lot of warehouses, held $57.3 billion worth of land and buildings—more than any other U.S. public company except Walmart. The online retailer doesn’t care whether it buys or leases as long as the building is right, according to the company’s vice president of real estate and global facilities, John Schoettler.\n“We’re really agnostic about it,” he told The Wall Street Journal last fall.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":437,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868334004,"gmtCreate":1632599137808,"gmtModify":1632654233268,"author":{"id":"3569227954325701","authorId":"3569227954325701","name":"Seuna","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0bfb6c0f011a65d66aae3afb6132a82d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868334004","repostId":"1149730497","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149730497","pubTimestamp":1632538837,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1149730497?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 11:00","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"7 Best Stocks To Buy for Investors Building a ‘Brands’ Portfolio","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149730497","media":"investorplace","summary":"'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products ","content":"<p>'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products and services</p>\n<p>I saw a recent article from<i>Quartz at Work</i>about Reebok, other brand reboots, and what<b>Authentic Brands</b>plans to doto revitalize the once-dominant sneaker company.

Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.</p>\n<p>The performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0fc99bca07cdb144fe2c7208776aed8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>It’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.</p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.</p>\n<p>While the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge of<b>Walmart’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) eCommerce &amp; Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.</p>\n<p>Ashe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.</p>\n<p>In the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.</p>\n<p>InJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.</p>\n<p>Cornerstone Building Brands (CNR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60a34aa2f9805656c3d30d8bf03763eb\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick</p>\n<p>Of all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.</p>\n<p>The North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair &amp; remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.</p>\n<p>Although the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.</p>\n<p>Since the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.</p>\n<p>A prominent owner of Cornerstone stock is<b>BlueTower Asset Management</b>, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.</p>\n<p>Here’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:</p>\n<p>“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.</p>\n<p>“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”</p>\n<p>What’s not to like?</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00df020d2a1a57e564587b5d95e0c571\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>If you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.</p>\n<p>In October 2019,<b>Post Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>POST</u></b>) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share.

For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.\nHere’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:\n“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.\n“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”\nWhat’s not to like?\nStocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nIf you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.\nIn October 2019,Post Holdings(NYSE:POST) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO. It used the proceeds to pay down some debt owed to the parent and buy shares of the operating company, BellRing Brands LLC.\nAfter the IPO, Post owned 71% of BRBR stock. In August 2021, Post announced thatit plans to distributemost of this stake to shareholders. The move’s expected to include a special cash dividend for Post shareholders.\nAt the same time, it announced the distribution; it also announced Q3 2021 results. Sales in the quarter jumped 68% over last year to $342.6 million, while its operating profit increased by 68% to $51.5 million.\nBellRing’s TTM FCF is$214.3 million. Based on a market cap of $1.3 billion, it has an FCF yield of 16.5%, well into value territory.\nIf I’m a Post shareholder, I’d be hanging on to my BellRing shares for the long haul.\nOn the date of publication, Will Ashworthdid not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to theInvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.\nWill Ashworth has written about investments full-time since 2008.

That is the fastest increase in 30 years. Inflation is running even hotter based on the better-known consumer-price index, a measure of the average prices paid by consumers for a common basket of goods and services that serves as a barometer of economic health.</p>\n<p>Powell and others at the Fed have contended for months that the surge in inflation was “transitory.”</p>\n<p>However, that view is starting to shift and investors are starting to factor in more persistent inflation than previously thought,analysts say.</p>\n<p>Siegel said the anticipated timeline that the Fed will start tapering in November and end it the middle of 2022, with an eye toward starting to raise interest rates sometime next year, is a fair timetable, but he but fears that the surge in inflation could hasten moves, which would drive yields higher and stocks lower.</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the S&amp;P 500 indexSPX,-1.19%ended higher but was still down 3.9% from its Sept. 2 record close, and the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-1.59%was off 3.5% from its Aug. 16 record high, following marginal gains on the session. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,-0.44%is down 5.6% from its Sept. 7 closing peak after finishing lower on Wednesday.</p>\n<p>A correction in an asset is usually defined by market technicians as a fall of at least 10%, but no more than 20%, from a recent peak.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the benchmark 10-year Treasury noteTMUBMUSD10Y,1.504%,used to price everything from car loans to mortgages, yielded 1.54%, up from 1.534% on Tuesday. The note is up nearly 10 basis points so far this quarter and up 23.7 basis points in September alone, according data compiled by Dow Jones Market Data.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That is the fastest increase in 30 years. Inflation is running even hotter based on the better-known consumer-price index, a measure of the average prices paid by consumers for a common basket of goods and services that serves as a barometer of economic health.\nPowell and others at the Fed have contended for months that the surge in inflation was “transitory.”\nHowever, that view is starting to shift and investors are starting to factor in more persistent inflation than previously thought,analysts say.\nSiegel said the anticipated timeline that the Fed will start tapering in November and end it the middle of 2022, with an eye toward starting to raise interest rates sometime next year, is a fair timetable, but he but fears that the surge in inflation could hasten moves, which would drive yields higher and stocks lower.\nOn Wednesday, the S&P 500 indexSPX,-1.19%ended higher but was still down 3.9% from its Sept. 2 record close, and the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA,-1.59%was off 3.5% from its Aug. 16 record high, following marginal gains on the session. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP,-0.44%is down 5.6% from its Sept. 7 closing peak after finishing lower on Wednesday.\nA correction in an asset is usually defined by market technicians as a fall of at least 10%, but no more than 20%, from a recent peak.\nMeanwhile, the benchmark 10-year Treasury noteTMUBMUSD10Y,1.504%,used to price everything from car loans to mortgages, yielded 1.54%, up from 1.534% on Tuesday. The note is up nearly 10 basis points so far this quarter and up 23.7 basis points in September alone, according data compiled by Dow Jones Market Data.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":894,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":865395511,"gmtCreate":1632949408576,"gmtModify":1632949416537,"author":{"id":"3569227954325701","authorId":"3569227954325701","name":"Seuna","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0bfb6c0f011a65d66aae3afb6132a82d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nive","listText":"Nive","text":"Nive","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/865395511","repostId":"2171115602","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2171115602","pubTimestamp":1632935460,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2171115602?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-30 01:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Eyewear maker Warby Parker spikes 34% on its first day of trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2171115602","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Eyewear maker Warby Parker spikes 34% on its first day of trading.\n\nNYSE assigns reference price of ","content":"<p>Eyewear maker Warby Parker spikes 34% on its first day of trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f145f99950734ec9b0e3b675836a53fb\" tg-width=\"1836\" tg-height=\"901\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>NYSE assigns reference price of $40, trading&nbsp;to begin Wednesday</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5917e3b384716a3bbcfdd5860b35711f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"628\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Warby Parker is focused on both business and giving back, the prospectus says.</span></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WRBY\">Warby Parker Inc.</a>, the company known for its affordable eyeglasses sold online, through its app and in stores, is begining trading Wednesday in a direct listing.</p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the New York Stock Exchange assigned a $40 reference price to the New York City-based company's listing, which is expected to begin trading Wednesday under the ticker symbol \"WRBY\" .

Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.</p>\n<p>The performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0fc99bca07cdb144fe2c7208776aed8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>It’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.</p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.</p>\n<p>While the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge of<b>Walmart’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) eCommerce &amp; Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.</p>\n<p>Ashe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.</p>\n<p>In the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.</p>\n<p>InJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.</p>\n<p>Cornerstone Building Brands (CNR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60a34aa2f9805656c3d30d8bf03763eb\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick</p>\n<p>Of all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.</p>\n<p>The North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair &amp; remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.</p>\n<p>Although the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.</p>\n<p>Since the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.</p>\n<p>A prominent owner of Cornerstone stock is<b>BlueTower Asset Management</b>, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.</p>\n<p>Here’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:</p>\n<p>“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.</p>\n<p>“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”</p>\n<p>What’s not to like?</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00df020d2a1a57e564587b5d95e0c571\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>If you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.</p>\n<p>In October 2019,<b>Post Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>POST</u></b>) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share.

Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.\n“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.\nHere’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:\n“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.\n“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”\nWhat’s not to like?\nStocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nIf you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.\nIn October 2019,Post Holdings(NYSE:POST) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO. It used the proceeds to pay down some debt owed to the parent and buy shares of the operating company, BellRing Brands LLC.\nAfter the IPO, Post owned 71% of BRBR stock. In August 2021, Post announced thatit plans to distributemost of this stake to shareholders. The move’s expected to include a special cash dividend for Post shareholders.\nAt the same time, it announced the distribution; it also announced Q3 2021 results. Sales in the quarter jumped 68% over last year to $342.6 million, while its operating profit increased by 68% to $51.5 million.\nBellRing’s TTM FCF is$214.3 million. Based on a market cap of $1.3 billion, it has an FCF yield of 16.5%, well into value territory.\nIf I’m a Post shareholder, I’d be hanging on to my BellRing shares for the long haul.\nOn the date of publication, Will Ashworthdid not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to theInvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.\nWill Ashworth has written about investments full-time since 2008.

At Disney World, the service will cost $15 per day per person, while at Disneyland it will cost $20 per day per person.</p>\n<p>There will be more than 40 attractions available for Genie+ bookings at Walt Disney World, and more than 15 attractions at Disneyland. The list of attractions has not yet been released, but Disney said it will be similar to what was previously available through the old FastPass system.</p>\n<p>The FastPass lines at popular attractions will be known as Lightning Lanes. To skip the line, guests will need to reserve a time using the Disney Genie mobile app. They will be able to start making reservations beginning at 7 a.m. the day of their visit to a Walt Disney World park or when the parks open at Disneyland.</p>\n<p>Guests will be allowed to have <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> Genie+ reservation at a time -- once a reservation is used, they will be able to make another. Visitors who visit more than one Disney park in a day will be able to use Genie+ at any park they visit.</p>\n<p>The Genie+ program will come with some perks. At Disneyland, guests who purchase Genie+ will also get complimentary downloads of pictures taken through PhotoPass, such as photos taken on rides. At Walt Disney World, Genie+ purchasers will be able to try out augmented reality technology on their phones. The service also comes with complimentary audio experiences at both the California and Florida resorts.</p>\n<p>Skipping the line on some rides is going to cost people extra -- even if they purchase Genie+</p>\n<p>The most popular attractions at Disney theme parks won't be part of Genie+. To skip the lines for these, visitors will need to pay separately, though Disney has not yet said how much the perk will cost.</p>\n<p>This will be the case for up to two attractions at each park. Disney has not yet released a full list of which attractions this will be the case for, but examples they cited include the upcoming Remy's Ratatouille adventure at Epcot, Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland.</p>\n<p>These reservations will be able to be booked starting at 7 a.m. for visitors staying at Walt Disney World hotels. Other visitors at Walt Disney World, and everyone visiting Disneyland, will otherwise be able to make to reservations when the parks open each day.</p>\n<p>As with the rides on Genie+, traditional stand-by lines (or virtual queues) will be available for guests who don't wish to pay for the upgrade. Guests can also purchase Lightning Lane access for these rides and forego Genie+ if they so choose.</p>\n<p>Some travel experts believe that the added cost of these perks, which were essentially free in the past, could upset some guests, including annual passholders. The cost of Genie+ is comparable to the cost of MaxPass, a paid FastPass program that was introduced at Disneyland Resort in recent years.</p>\n<p>\"If you're already paying $150 a day to get into the park, to tell somebody that you've got to pay another $100 for your family to get on the best rides in the park -- that's going to be a hard message to sell,\" said Len Testa, president of travel website Touring Plans.</p>\n<p>The calculus for families could come down to the value of paying for the ability to skip lines -- and that will depend on ride capacity. People with Genie+ reservations will have priority over people in the regular stand-by line. If Disney chooses to allow up to 70% of a ride's capacity to be set aside for Genie+, that could make it a better value, since that would means longer stand-by lines. (The company said that how the capacity divvies up will be similar to what was in place with the previous FastPass programs.)</p>\n<p>\"This shouldn't be that bad because fewer people are going to use paid Fast Pass than they would free Fast Pass,\" Testa said. \"If they charge $20 per FastPass, relatively few people are going to buy that. So, it won't impact the standby line as much.\"</p>\n<p>'This is something that will be copied and passed around'</p>\n<p>Even for visitors who decide against paying to skip lines, Disney argues that the new Disney Genie service will help them avoid spending too much time just waiting in lines.</p>\n<p>The new service takes advantage of machine learning technology and algorithms to track where crowds are in the theme parks and then make recommendations to visitors. Visitors can select in advance which attractions they most want to visit, and it will notify them of when they should head to that ride based on the wait times in the park. Guests will also be able to check forecasts for wait times on rides for later in the day based on crowd sizes.</p>\n<p>The Disney Genie services will be built into the existing apps for Disneyland and Walt Disney World. In addition to tracking ride wait times, the app can also be used to make dining reservations at table-service restaurants or for mobile ordering at counter-service eateries. It can then give recommendations of rides nearby with low wait times to visit before or after a meal.</p>\n<p>\"It's going to be revolutionary for the theme park industry,\" said Dennis Spiegel, president of industry consulting firm International Theme Park Services Inc. \"This is something that will be copied and passed along to all the operators.\"</p>\n<p>To Spiegel, the service will allow people to be more spontaneous when they visit a theme park and have to do less advance planning than they once did. Plus, the way that algorithms will track and predict crowd sizes and wait times will give visitors more control over their experience, he argues.</p>\n<p>\"This is going to allow people to move smoother through their visit,\" Spiegel said. \"And it's going to allow them to eat, drink and spend a little bit more -- which is going to be great for Disney -- because they're not waiting in line so long.\"</p>\n<p>Disney shares are down 4% this year to date, compared to a 14% gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and a 17% gain for the S&amp;P 500 Index .</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>Disney is eliminating a beloved free perk at its U.S. theme parks</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\">\nDisney is eliminating a beloved free perk at its U.S. theme parks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-10-02 11:18</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>A new trip-planning service called Disney Genie will help visitors at Walt Disney World and Disneyland avoid spending too much time in lines.</p>\n<p>Cutting the line at your favorite Disney theme park attractions is now going to cost you.</p>\n<p>Disney <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">$(DIS)$</a> is set to roll out a new planning service, called Disney Genie, for visitors to its theme parks in California and Florida, designed to help guests avoid spending too much time in long lines.

Other visitors at Walt Disney World, and everyone visiting Disneyland, will otherwise be able to make to reservations when the parks open each day.\nAs with the rides on Genie+, traditional stand-by lines (or virtual queues) will be available for guests who don't wish to pay for the upgrade. Guests can also purchase Lightning Lane access for these rides and forego Genie+ if they so choose.\nSome travel experts believe that the added cost of these perks, which were essentially free in the past, could upset some guests, including annual passholders. The cost of Genie+ is comparable to the cost of MaxPass, a paid FastPass program that was introduced at Disneyland Resort in recent years.\n\"If you're already paying $150 a day to get into the park, to tell somebody that you've got to pay another $100 for your family to get on the best rides in the park -- that's going to be a hard message to sell,\" said Len Testa, president of travel website Touring Plans.\nThe calculus for families could come down to the value of paying for the ability to skip lines -- and that will depend on ride capacity. People with Genie+ reservations will have priority over people in the regular stand-by line. If Disney chooses to allow up to 70% of a ride's capacity to be set aside for Genie+, that could make it a better value, since that would means longer stand-by lines. (The company said that how the capacity divvies up will be similar to what was in place with the previous FastPass programs.)\n\"This shouldn't be that bad because fewer people are going to use paid Fast Pass than they would free Fast Pass,\" Testa said. \"If they charge $20 per FastPass, relatively few people are going to buy that. So, it won't impact the standby line as much.\"\n'This is something that will be copied and passed around'\nEven for visitors who decide against paying to skip lines, Disney argues that the new Disney Genie service will help them avoid spending too much time just waiting in lines.\nThe new service takes advantage of machine learning technology and algorithms to track where crowds are in the theme parks and then make recommendations to visitors. Visitors can select in advance which attractions they most want to visit, and it will notify them of when they should head to that ride based on the wait times in the park. Guests will also be able to check forecasts for wait times on rides for later in the day based on crowd sizes.\nThe Disney Genie services will be built into the existing apps for Disneyland and Walt Disney World. In addition to tracking ride wait times, the app can also be used to make dining reservations at table-service restaurants or for mobile ordering at counter-service eateries. It can then give recommendations of rides nearby with low wait times to visit before or after a meal.\n\"It's going to be revolutionary for the theme park industry,\" said Dennis Spiegel, president of industry consulting firm International Theme Park Services Inc. \"This is something that will be copied and passed along to all the operators.\"\nTo Spiegel, the service will allow people to be more spontaneous when they visit a theme park and have to do less advance planning than they once did. Plus, the way that algorithms will track and predict crowd sizes and wait times will give visitors more control over their experience, he argues.\n\"This is going to allow people to move smoother through their visit,\" Spiegel said. \"And it's going to allow them to eat, drink and spend a little bit more -- which is going to be great for Disney -- because they're not waiting in line so long.\"\nDisney shares are down 4% this year to date, compared to a 14% gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and a 17% gain for the S&P 500 Index .","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":701,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":861210868,"gmtCreate":1632497091755,"gmtModify":1632715885006,"author":{"id":"3569227954325701","authorId":"3569227954325701","name":"Seuna","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0bfb6c0f011a65d66aae3afb6132a82d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cana one","listText":"Cana one","text":"Cana one","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/861210868","repostId":"1114004721","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114004721","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":1632496493,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1114004721?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-24 23:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"IPO opening reminder: Clearwater Analytics opens for trading at $23.8, up about 32% from IPO price","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114004721","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Sept 24) Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc. opens for trading at $23.8, up about 32% from IPO pric","content":"<p>(Sept 24)&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CWAN\">Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc.</a></b> opens for trading at $23.8, up about 32% from IPO price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/076505c7b70dbe2ad6cfcae8c44f52cb\" tg-width=\"902\" tg-height=\"557\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Company &amp; Technology</b></p>\n<p>Boise, Idaho-based Clearwater was founded to develop a SaaS platform to simplify investment accounting and analysis for asset managers, insurance companies and large corporations.</p>\n<p>Management is headed by Chief Executive Officer Sandeep Sahai, who has been with the firm since September 2016 and was previously CEO of Solmark, an investment partnership.</p>\n<p>The company’s primary offerings include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p>Investment accounting and reporting</p></li>\n <li><p>Performance measurement</p></li>\n <li><p>Compliance monitoring</p></li>\n <li><p>Risk analysis</p></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Clearwater has received at least $421 million in notes payable in equity investment from investors including Welsh Carson, Permira, Warburg Pincus and Dragoneer.</p>\n<p><b>Customer Acquisition</b></p>\n<p>The firm pursues client relationships with asset managers, insurance companies and large corporations via a direct sales and marketing force that is focused on the United States.</p>\n<p>CWAN also has international clients and will seek to expand its international presence post-IPO.</p>\n<p>Clearwater handles data on over $5.6 trillion in assets between more than 1,000 clients.</p>\n<p>Sales and Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue have varied as revenues have increased, as the figures below indicate:</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Sales and Marketing</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Expenses vs. Revenue</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Period</p></td>\n   <td><p>Percentage</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Six Mos.
