He revealed a $4.1 billion stake in Chevron and a $8.6 billion position in Verizon, answering the question of which mystery stocks he had been buying in recent months.\nBerkshire also trimmed the largest position in its portfolio,Apple, by 6%. Moreover, it halved its Wells Fargo holdings and exited JPMorgan,PNC, and M&T after slashing its positions in those banks in 2020.\nThe shareholder letter\nWarren Buffett\nBuffett published his annual letter to shareholders in February. The investor admitted to overpaying when he acquired Precision Castparts in 2016, trumpeted a bunch of Berkshire's subsidiaries, and contrasted his long-term shareholders with the speculators flocking to trendy assets such as meme stocks and cryptocurrencies.\nThe annual meeting\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett talks to reporters while holding an ice cream at a trade show during the company's annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska May 3, 2014.\nBuffett warned rookie traders not to get cocky, bemoaned the lack of bargains in the market, rang the inflation alarm, and admitted to buying \"so-so\" stocks during Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting in May.\nThe investor also complained about the surge in people treating the stock market like a casino. Moreover, he acknowledged that trimming his Apple stake and selling Costco were likely mistakes, and suggested he avoided bailing out the \"big four\" US airlines by exiting his positions in them in April 2020.\nThe tax fracas\nWarren Buffett\nBuffett came under fire in June after ProPublica secured the tax returns of some of the wealthiest Americans, and reported the investor paid only $25 million in federal income tax between 2014 and 2018.\nThe Berkshire boss defended himself by noting that he's pledged to give over 99% of his net worth to philanthropic causes, and has already donated about half of his Berkshire \"A\" shares since 2006.\nThe Gates Foundation\nPaul Sakuma/AP Photo\nBuffett resigned as a trustee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in June.

The Golden State Warriors are commemorating Curry’s new record atop the NBA’s all-time three-point shooter list with a collection of NFTs. These wearable collectibles are replicas of his&nbsp;namesake “Curry Flow 9” Under Armour sneakers, which Curry wore when he broke the record on Dec. 14. UA stock has reacted mildly to the news so far, but you can never count out NFT mania.</p>\n<p>What do you need to know about this latest metaverse endeavor?</p>\n<p>The Genesis Curry Flow NFT collection marks the first venture into the metaverse for Under Amour. The collection is the first wearable, cross-platform sneaker NFT. What does this mean? Users across three different metaverses can access them.<b>Decentraland</b>(CCC:<b><u>MANA-USD</u></b>),<b>The Sandbox</b>(CCC:<b><u>SAND-USD</u></b>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Gala Games</b>(CCC:<b><u>GALA-USD</u></b>) will each have their own style of the sneaker,with modest differences&nbsp;in color and shape.</p>\n<p>Ewen Cameron, the founder of&nbsp;<b>Berlin Cameron</b>, the creative agency supporting the NFT launch, commented on the latest release:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “With the stature of Stephen’s achievement, we wanted to do something thattruly changed the metaverse game for good, and so the notion of the first sneaker that can travel across the platform and have genuine functionality and performance was born.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>The Under Armour collection dropped on Dec. 21. Proceeds benefit children’s sports charities.</p>\n<p>Is Steph Curry NFT News Enough to Rally UA Stock?</p>\n<p>Under Armour is following competitors&nbsp;<b>Nike</b>(NYSE:<b><u>NKE</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Adidas</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>ADDYY</u></b>) into the metaverse. And this really does make sense. The metaverse is set to become a $1 trillion industry, and UA clearly sees the potential.</p>\n<p>Just this month, Adidasannounceda “leap” into the metaverse with a collection of limited-edition NFTs. Nike is taking it a step further with the&nbsp;introduction&nbsp;of its own virtual playscape, “Nikeland.” Built on top of the wildly popular&nbsp;<b>Roblox</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBLX</u></b>) sandbox, the metaverse will act as a platform for Nike fans to play and build. The shoe giant plans on incorporating the&nbsp;<b>Ethereum</b>&nbsp;blockchain to link identification codes to its products as an anti-counterfeit measure.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, each of the three companies has only seen mild reactions in their stock prices following the announcements. UA stock is actually down slightly on the day. In fact, UA and UAA shares have largely traded sideways in the last few years.</p>\n<p>But there is room for hope, though. The NBA remains one of the most aggressive sports leagues in terms of relevant NFT and crypto exposure. In just a few days, the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, will&nbsp;change its name&nbsp;to the “Crypto.com Arena” as part of a $700 million dollar deal.</p>\n<p>While this may mark the beginning of Under Armour’s crypto campaign, it’s not a stretch to assume more is in store.

The Golden State Warriors are commemorating Curry’s new record atop the NBA’s all-time three-point shooter list with a collection of NFTs. These wearable collectibles are replicas of his namesake “Curry Flow 9” Under Armour sneakers, which Curry wore when he broke the record on Dec. 14. UA stock has reacted mildly to the news so far, but you can never count out NFT mania.\nWhat do you need to know about this latest metaverse endeavor?\nThe Genesis Curry Flow NFT collection marks the first venture into the metaverse for Under Amour. The collection is the first wearable, cross-platform sneaker NFT. What does this mean? Users across three different metaverses can access them.Decentraland(CCC:MANA-USD),The Sandbox(CCC:SAND-USD) and Gala Games(CCC:GALA-USD) will each have their own style of the sneaker,with modest differences in color and shape.\nEwen Cameron, the founder of Berlin Cameron, the creative agency supporting the NFT launch, commented on the latest release:\n\n “With the stature of Stephen’s achievement, we wanted to do something thattruly changed the metaverse game for good, and so the notion of the first sneaker that can travel across the platform and have genuine functionality and performance was born.”\n\nThe Under Armour collection dropped on Dec. 21. Proceeds benefit children’s sports charities.\nIs Steph Curry NFT News Enough to Rally UA Stock?\nUnder Armour is following competitors Nike(NYSE:NKE) and Adidas(OTCMKTS:ADDYY) into the metaverse. And this really does make sense. The metaverse is set to become a $1 trillion industry, and UA clearly sees the potential.\nJust this month, Adidasannounceda “leap” into the metaverse with a collection of limited-edition NFTs. Nike is taking it a step further with the introduction of its own virtual playscape, “Nikeland.” Built on top of the wildly popular Roblox(NYSE:RBLX) sandbox, the metaverse will act as a platform for Nike fans to play and build. The shoe giant plans on incorporating the Ethereum blockchain to link identification codes to its products as an anti-counterfeit measure.\nInterestingly, each of the three companies has only seen mild reactions in their stock prices following the announcements. UA stock is actually down slightly on the day. In fact, UA and UAA shares have largely traded sideways in the last few years.\nBut there is room for hope, though. The NBA remains one of the most aggressive sports leagues in terms of relevant NFT and crypto exposure. In just a few days, the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, will change its name to the “Crypto.com Arena” as part of a $700 million dollar deal.\nWhile this may mark the beginning of Under Armour’s crypto campaign, it’s not a stretch to assume more is in store. For UA stock fans, the metaverse could be a blessing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691131761,"gmtCreate":1640145399272,"gmtModify":1640145399463,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok","listText":"ok","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/691131761","repostId":"2193316202","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2193316202","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1640144528,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2193316202?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-22 11:42","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore to freeze new ticket sales for quarantine-free travel","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2193316202","media":"Reuters","summary":"SINGAPORE, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Singapore will freeze all new ticket sales for flights and buses under","content":"<p>SINGAPORE, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Singapore will freeze all new ticket sales for flights and buses under its programme for quarantine-free travel into the city-state from Dec. 23 to Jan. 20, the government said on Wednesday, citing risk from the fast-spreading Omicron COVID-19 variant.</p>\n<p>Under the vaccinated travel lane (VTL) programme, Singapore allows quarantine-free entry from some countries to fully vaccinated travellers on designated flights or buses.

Let's see why that may be the case.</p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\"><b>Nvidia</b> </a></p>\n<p>Nvidia has a market cap&nbsp;of $707 billion. It is worth noting that the graphics card specialist's market cap has grown at a much faster pace than that of Apple's in the past decade.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/014d345dc7df797b4ee5e9f0e2288910\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>NVDA data by YCharts</p>\n<p>Nvidia shares have stepped on the gas since 2016. They have gone supersonic in the past couple of years as it has become clear that its graphics cards play an important role in powering several applications ranging from gaming consoles to personal computers to data centers and autonomous vehicles. The massive demand for Nvidia's graphics cards is evident from the company's recent results.</p>\n<p>The company has generated&nbsp;$19.3 billion in revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, a jump of 65% over the prior-year period. Its adjusted earnings have increased 81% in the first nine months of the year to $3.12 per share. This terrific growth has been driven by two key catalysts -- gaming and data centers.</p>\n<p>Nvidia absolutely dominates these two markets. The company has an 83% share&nbsp;of discrete graphics cards that power gaming PCs, while its share of the booming data center accelerator market reportedly stood at 80.6% a&nbsp;year ago. The good part is that both these markets are expected to add billions of dollars of revenue in the future. The GPU (graphics processing unit) market, for instance, is expected to clock a 33% annual growth rate through 2028 and hit $246 billion in value, according to a third-party estimate.</p>\n<p>The use of GPUs as data-center accelerators is increasing&nbsp;at 42% a year, a pace that's expected to continue through 2027. Throw in budding catalysts such as the omniverse and self-driving cars, and it is easy to see why Nvidia's earnings are expected to increase&nbsp;at an annual pace of close to 40% for the next five years. That's way higher than Apple's projected earnings growth rate&nbsp;of 15% over the same period, which further indicates why Nvidia could be a solid candidate to overtake Apple's market cap in the next 15 years.</p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ASML\"><b>ASML Holding</b> </a></p>\n<p>Apple was unable to make enough iPhones and iPads last quarter due to supply chain constraints arising out of the global chip shortage, and that cost&nbsp;the tech giant $6 billion in revenue. ASML is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> company that could help get more chips into the hands of Apple and others that are suffering from a lack of chips on account of the semiconductor shortage.</p>\n<p>This is probably one of the reasons why ASML stock has been a top performer in 2021 and has outpaced Apple's gains by a significant margin this year.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6aab71d6833e529191334d42cac0289f\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>AAPL data by YCharts</p>\n<p>It won't be surprising to see this trend continue as the demand for ASML's machines that help foundries make chips has gone through the roof. Net bookings for ASML's machines increased&nbsp;to 6.2 billion euros in the third quarter of 2021, more than double as compared to net bookings of 2.87 billion euros in the year-ago period.</p>\n<p>The Dutch giant reported a 32% increase in revenue during the quarter to 5.24 billion euros. The fact that ASML's bookings increased at a faster pace than the actual revenue indicates that it can sustain its impressive top-line growth by fulfilling more of its orders and turning the backlog into actual sales. The company is on track to finish 2021 with 35% revenue growth, and Wall Street's estimates suggest that it can keep growing at such an impressive pace for a long time to come.</p>\n<p>Venture capital firm Air Street Capital estimates that ASML could hit $500 billion in market cap next year, which would be a huge jump over its current market cap of $311 billion. What's more, ASML's earnings are expected&nbsp;to grow at almost 30% a year for the next five years, which is double Apple's projected growth.</p>\n<p>ASML seems to be in a solid position to deliver on Wall Street's forecasts as the semiconductor market is expected to generate&nbsp;$1 trillion in revenue by 2030, a big jump from 2018 levels of $466 billion. Foundries would need to spend more money on equipment to cater to the huge demand, and this could supercharge ASML in the long run as it is the biggest player in the market for photolithography machines.</p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\"><b>Amazon</b> </a></p>\n<p>Amazon is yet another stock that has easily outpaced Apple's gains in the past decade.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e823ea95df1ad4c8e9cc5d870dc478b7\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>AAPL data by YCharts</p>\n<p>Amazon's focus on diversifying itself from a vanilla e-commerce company into a leading provider of cloud computing services, video streaming, music streaming, and on dominating the markets it operates in has helped the company grow at an eye-popping pace and hit a market cap&nbsp;of $1.7 trillion. This tech stock is expected to keep up its tremendous growth in the coming years, with earnings expected&nbsp;to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 36%.</p>\n<p>Again, this is much higher than Apple's projected growth rate. That's because Amazon is on track to take advantage of several fast-growing end markets. For instance, the company's Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing division holds&nbsp;a 32% share of the $150 billion cloud infrastructure market. Third-party estimates peg the size of the global cloud computing market&nbsp;at $927 billion by 2027, which should ensure a high pace of growth in the AWS segment.</p>\n<p>Amazon's AWS revenue had jumped&nbsp;39% year over year in the third quarter to $16 billion, outpacing the growth in the e-commerce segments. Meanwhile, Amazon holds 40% of the U.S. e-commerce market that's expected to hit $8 trillion in revenue by 2030. All this indicates that the company's top line could jump big time in the coming years compared to its trailing-12-month revenue&nbsp;of $458 billion.</p>\n<p>As such, Amazon stock could continue to be a better growth pick than Apple in the next decade and beyond. It may eventually eclipse the iPhone maker's market cap in the long run, considering its much faster pace of growth.</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 Stocks That Could Be Worth More Than Apple by 2035</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 Stocks That Could Be Worth More Than Apple by 2035\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-19 12:07 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/18/stocks-that-could-be-worth-more-than-apple-2035/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple is currently the world's most valuable company with a market capitalization of $2.82 trillion.

This term catapulted into the mainstream in late October when the social media giant formerly known as Facebook announced it was changing its corporate name to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) to reflect its focus on the metaverse.\nThe metaverse, which is essentially a melding of the physical and virtual worlds, is widely viewed as the next evolution of the internet. Market size projections for the metaverse vary widely, so suffice it to say this space is poised to be massive.\nLet's take a look at the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (NYSEMKT:META), the world's first metaverse exchange-traded fund (ETF). You might decide that one or more of this ETF's holdings are worth further exploration or that you want to buy the ETF itself.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Performance and the basics\nThis ETF only began trading on June 30, 2021, so it's too soon to make any judgments about its performance. That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the S&P 500 index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has gained 4.7% over this period.\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.\nThis ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings\n\n\n\nHolding No. \n Company\nMarket Cap \nWall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years\nWeight (% of Portfolio)\nYTD 2021 Return \n\n\n\n\n\n1\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n$710 billion\n39.4%\n10.6%\n118%\n\n\n2\nRoblox (NYSE:RBLX)\n$55 billion\nN/A\n8.6%\nN/A*\n\n\n3\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n$2.4 trillion\n16.5%\n7.7%\n47.3%\n\n\n4\nMeta Platforms\n$932 billion\n21.4%\n6.6%\n22.6%\n\n\n5\nUnity Software (NYSE:U)\n$38 billion\nN/A\n4.9%\n(13%)\n\n\n6\nApple\n$2.8 trillion\n15.7%\n4.2%\n30.6%\n\n\n7\nAmazon.com\n$1.7 trillion\n36%\n4.2%\n3.7%\n\n\n8\nAutodesk\n$59 billion\n28.8%\n4.1%\n(11.7%)\n\n\n9\nQualcomm\n$200 billion\n25.6%\n3.9%\n19.1%\n\n\n10\nTencent Holdings\n$545 billion\n3.7%\n3.9%\n(20.8%)\n\n\nTotal Top 10\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n58.7%\nN/A\n\n\nN/A\nS&P 500 / Nasdaq Composite Indexes\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n26% / 17.8%\n\n\n\nData sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo!

Instead, it's only been five years since Berkshire began to build its stake in Apple.\nThe conglomerate first purchased Apple shares in 2016 and continued buying them until mid-2018, when the position topped 1 billion shares after adjusting for a 4-for-1 stock split in 2020. Buffett has trimmed Berkshire's position in Apple by about 12% since initially building the stake.\nBarring any changes since the most recent 13F filing, Berkshire's stock portfolio would be up 13.9% quarter-to-date, according to an analysis by Bespoke.Much of that gain has been driven by Apple's quarter-to-date gain of more than 20%.\nYear-to-date, Apple is up 31%, compared to Berkshire Hathaway's return of 26%. Apple's stock price was less than $1.00 away from hitting a $3 trillion valuation on Monday.\nBerkshire's three largest positions after Apple are Bank of America,American Express, and Coca-Cola, which make up a combined 30% of the equity portfolio's value. And Berkshire is still sitting on about $150 billion in cash that it has yet to put to work.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":510,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":607062161,"gmtCreate":1639459643079,"gmtModify":1639459643230,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/607062161","repostId":"1119480728","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119480728","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1639459363,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1119480728?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-14 13:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney: All Subscribers Are Not Created Equal","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119480728","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nQQQ has easily beaten DIS whereas SPY has done about the same.\nDIS has not fully bounced ba","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>QQQ has easily beaten DIS whereas SPY has done about the same.</li>\n <li>DIS has not fully bounced back from 2020 but it's certainly healing.</li>\n <li>DIS is far more like NFLX than MSFT or ADBE, despite any discussion or comparisons related to subscriber growth and associated metrics.</li>\n <li>DIS has been far less of a growth stock than&nbsp;NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db18b8191ffe57bbd7ff43b3b4de329b\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Marvin Samuel Tolentino Pineda/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Background</b></p>\n<p>I've owned Disney (DIS) since early 2016. I greatly enjoy DIS products and services. I am reasonably pleased with DIS stock performance.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58048f15fcf1af89506563ab33f6e301\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>53% gains in 5 years isn't terrible but it's not spectacular either. For added perspective, let's quickly compare DIS with the S&amp;P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) over 10 years or so.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de2cb75ad2becfcf9268f372150a7698\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>As you can see, I zoomed out for a bigger picture view of things. Clearly, QQQ has crushed DIS. Over the same time, DIS has done about as well as SPY. It's clear the 2020 was rough on the price of DIS stock. However, it was also an incredible pivot opportunity for the business with Disney Plus, the streaming home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and way more.</p>\n<p><b>Business Model Update</b></p>\n<p>It's clear that DIS has been incredibly focused on subscribers for Disney Plus. Here's a quick peek, from the&nbsp;Q4 2021 Earnings Call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n On the Direct-to-Consumer side, we are extremely pleased with the success of our portfolio streaming services. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu continue to perform incredibly well with a 118.1 million, 17.1 million, and 43.8 million subscribers, respectively, for a total of a 179 million subscriptions. To put this growth in perspective, in the past fiscal year alone, we have grown the total number of subscriptions across our DTC portfolio by 48%, and Disney+ subs in particular by 60%.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Now, here's the good news and bad news. DIS leadership is planning to reach 230 million to 260 million paid subscribers globally by the end of fiscal year 2024. Obviously, that's phenomenal growth and investors should cheer. However, the dark side is that this growth isn't free.<b>DIS doesn't expect their portfolio of streaming services to reach profitability until 2024.</b>Ouch.</p>\n<p>The key point is that DIS is not simply bolting on Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, Hulu and so on, and adding profits to the bottom line. Instead, getting to this current level of subscribers has been chewing up time and resources. And, it'll be nasty for years. The investment will drain resources. More about this later.</p>\n<p>Of course, very long term investors can cheer. DIS literally has the best intellectual media assets in the world. Really, there isn't any company even close. The library is amazing, huge, and growing.See for yourself.</p>\n<p>As a quick aside, most people, and most analysts expected a bigger \"snap back\" from 2020, especially in relation to park visits and related activity. For example, here's what we learned about&nbsp;attendance in August 2021:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Disney world does not share its actual capacity nor the number of attendees they get daily. But as stated above, the estimated number of average daily attendees was 57,000 before the pandemic started. So, at present, it might be welcoming a maximum of 35,000 guests daily&nbsp;\n <b>running with a 35% capacity</b>. [Emphasis: Author]\n</blockquote>\n<p>Big picture, I'm not too worried about the parks and related real-world experiences offered by DIS. It might take longer to get running at full steam, but DIS can do it. I'm a bit more concerned that investors are expecting too much from DIS streaming services, without fully considering the costs. This is especially true for short term investors and speculators.</p>\n<p><b>Disney Is Not Microsoft or Adobe</b></p>\n<p>Analysts like to compare DIS to enterprise software companies,<i>as if all subscribers are created equal</i>. Let's consider two incredible businesses. Both Microsoft (MSFT) and Adobe (ADBE) have done exceptionally well in recent years, compared to DIS.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/247db57795d4cce4d0d919346b84c7f2\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Clearly, MSFT and ADBE have trounced DIS. In part, here's why:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f90248d3aef70628dea5b4029b79b516\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>P/S for both MSFT and ADBE has roughly doubled. At a high level, prices are moving up faster than revenue generated for MSFT and ADBE. Meanwhile, investors place less value on DIS revenue. DIS has pretty much moved sideways.</p>\n<p>Let's talk some real numbers. MSFT has grown earnings by 17% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.63 and in 2021 it's about $8. ADBE has grown earnings by about 29% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.08 and it's expected to hit a staggering $12.46 this year. Meanwhile, here's how DIS looks:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cbb56eaa4d09a70ca4f320a0e111896b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"366\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: FASTgraphs</span></p>\n<p>EPS might get back to 2015 levels in 2023. The dividend was killed off. DIS share price is dramatically higher, even now, compared to earnings. There's a lot of pain in this chart.</p>\n<p>All if this isn't to bash DIS or to imply that the products or business is terrible. The DIS brand is pristine. Leadership is strong. The company isn't going to suddenly fall off the face of the Earth.<i>The business is amazing</i>.</p>\n<p><b>All Subscribers Are Not Created Equal</b></p>\n<p>I'm not too keen to do this, but here's Netflix (NFLX) versus DIS.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55b99727d2cfebd285167f115f4387ae\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The only point I want to make is that NFLX shareholders have done far better than DIS shareholders. And, for a different perspective, here's how $10K would have done over the last five years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4539b42cb1304e691ad2b38dbcbf4c2d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>It's very hard for me to say that DIS is \"on sale\" when I look at the relatively flat performance over the last five years. While I think of DIS as a growth stock,<i>it's less of a growth stock</i>&nbsp;than NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.</p>\n<p>In large part, I believe this is all about our definition of subscribers. I'll come back to that in a second. First, feast your eyes on this:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3dfdf6d35c4eba3617e6fec280f09282\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>What you're seeing is profit margin for DIS, NFLX, MSFT and ADBE. Quite frankly, this paints a damning picture of DIS, especially since 2020. What's most impressive, on the other hand, is how MSFT and ADBE have had has consistently high and growing profit margins. I've got to say, I'm actually a bit surprised that NFLX just keeps getting stronger and stronger in this department as well.</p>\n<p>By the way, as a sidebar, it's easy to complain about the NFLX P/E ratio. It's over 50 right now. But, at the same time, DIS is at 37, MSFT is at 37, and ADBE is at 52. In that respect, they are all quite overvalued.</p>\n<p><b>Wrap Up</b></p>\n<p>Now, here are my biggest points. NFLX has spent more than DIS on content and also has first mover advantage, loyalty and entrenchment. Many people have both NFLX and DIS, so I see less of a \"war\" than most people. Furthermore, it appears that NFLX has done an outstanding operational job, and their capital allocation has been strong. It's hard to look at this chart and dismiss NFLX. Clearly, it's a well-run company.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37c9d98acfdd8206fa2c0323144db713\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>This next chart is extremely noisy, but you can scroll down and see the truth with your own two eyes. DIS has rather poor ROE, ROA and ROIC compared to NFLX, MSFT and ADBE.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5aaf232d38eaceea4d9621f81a7a92f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"603\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>To be fair, DIS was doing a pretty good job through early 2019. However, very importantly,<i>the drops appear to have started before 2020</i>. We cannot blame the pandemic for the decline in ROE, ROA and ROIC.</p>\n<p>To be clear,DIS is going to be going gangbusters on content.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Disney plans to increase its overall content spend to around $33bn in 2022, marking an $8bn rise from the previous year.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, the idea is that DIS will be&nbsp;rapidly growing the subscriber base.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Disney+ is expected to add 140 million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 to take its total to 271 million. Netflix, meanwhile, will add 53 million subscribers through the same period, taking it to a 2026 total of 275 million.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In short, DIS isn't about to be left in the dust by NFLX. Something like 60 unscripted series, 30 comedy series and 25 drama shows will be produced. There's really too much to list here. Money is being put to work by DIS.</p>\n<p>Now, shifting gears, I have to say that both MSFT and ADBE have dramatically different types of subscribers. DIS and NFLX satisfy entertainment desires. These are wants,<i>not needs</i>.</p>\n<p>Here's a good way to&nbsp;think about MSFT and ADBE:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Both companies armed businesses big and small with the tools needed to stay in business since the pandemic. As the world moved to virtual work and school, PDFs with virtual signatures and Word docs with important information became standard.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In other words, MSFT and ADBE subscribers aren't \"addicted\" to the software, as much as they are<i>required to use it to do work</i>. When your job is on the line, you've got to be using industry standard tools. Furthermore, both NFLX and DIS are B2C whereas MSFT and ADBE are B2B. It's almost impossible to compare these companies, in terms of subscribers. Sure, we can discuss subscriber counts, subscriber growth, and so forth. But, MSFT and ADBE provide software to companies, and users must use those tools. They are sticky out of necessity, not mere desire.

I greatly enjoy DIS products and services. I am reasonably pleased with DIS stock performance.\nData by YCharts\n53% gains in 5 years isn't terrible but it's not spectacular either. For added perspective, let's quickly compare DIS with the S&P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) over 10 years or so.\nData by YCharts\nAs you can see, I zoomed out for a bigger picture view of things. Clearly, QQQ has crushed DIS. Over the same time, DIS has done about as well as SPY. It's clear the 2020 was rough on the price of DIS stock. However, it was also an incredible pivot opportunity for the business with Disney Plus, the streaming home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and way more.\nBusiness Model Update\nIt's clear that DIS has been incredibly focused on subscribers for Disney Plus. Here's a quick peek, from the Q4 2021 Earnings Call:\n\n On the Direct-to-Consumer side, we are extremely pleased with the success of our portfolio streaming services. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu continue to perform incredibly well with a 118.1 million, 17.1 million, and 43.8 million subscribers, respectively, for a total of a 179 million subscriptions. To put this growth in perspective, in the past fiscal year alone, we have grown the total number of subscriptions across our DTC portfolio by 48%, and Disney+ subs in particular by 60%.\n\nNow, here's the good news and bad news. DIS leadership is planning to reach 230 million to 260 million paid subscribers globally by the end of fiscal year 2024. Obviously, that's phenomenal growth and investors should cheer. However, the dark side is that this growth isn't free.DIS doesn't expect their portfolio of streaming services to reach profitability until 2024.Ouch.\nThe key point is that DIS is not simply bolting on Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, Hulu and so on, and adding profits to the bottom line. Instead, getting to this current level of subscribers has been chewing up time and resources. And, it'll be nasty for years. The investment will drain resources. More about this later.\nOf course, very long term investors can cheer. DIS literally has the best intellectual media assets in the world. Really, there isn't any company even close. The library is amazing, huge, and growing.See for yourself.\nAs a quick aside, most people, and most analysts expected a bigger \"snap back\" from 2020, especially in relation to park visits and related activity. For example, here's what we learned about attendance in August 2021:\n\n Disney world does not share its actual capacity nor the number of attendees they get daily. But as stated above, the estimated number of average daily attendees was 57,000 before the pandemic started. So, at present, it might be welcoming a maximum of 35,000 guests daily \n running with a 35% capacity. [Emphasis: Author]\n\nBig picture, I'm not too worried about the parks and related real-world experiences offered by DIS. It might take longer to get running at full steam, but DIS can do it. I'm a bit more concerned that investors are expecting too much from DIS streaming services, without fully considering the costs. This is especially true for short term investors and speculators.\nDisney Is Not Microsoft or Adobe\nAnalysts like to compare DIS to enterprise software companies,as if all subscribers are created equal. Let's consider two incredible businesses. Both Microsoft (MSFT) and Adobe (ADBE) have done exceptionally well in recent years, compared to DIS.\nData by YCharts\nClearly, MSFT and ADBE have trounced DIS. In part, here's why:\nData by YCharts\nP/S for both MSFT and ADBE has roughly doubled. At a high level, prices are moving up faster than revenue generated for MSFT and ADBE. Meanwhile, investors place less value on DIS revenue. DIS has pretty much moved sideways.\nLet's talk some real numbers. MSFT has grown earnings by 17% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.63 and in 2021 it's about $8. ADBE has grown earnings by about 29% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.08 and it's expected to hit a staggering $12.46 this year. Meanwhile, here's how DIS looks:\nSource: FASTgraphs\nEPS might get back to 2015 levels in 2023. The dividend was killed off. DIS share price is dramatically higher, even now, compared to earnings. There's a lot of pain in this chart.\nAll if this isn't to bash DIS or to imply that the products or business is terrible. The DIS brand is pristine. Leadership is strong. The company isn't going to suddenly fall off the face of the Earth.The business is amazing.\nAll Subscribers Are Not Created Equal\nI'm not too keen to do this, but here's Netflix (NFLX) versus DIS.\nData by YCharts\nThe only point I want to make is that NFLX shareholders have done far better than DIS shareholders. And, for a different perspective, here's how $10K would have done over the last five years.\nData by YCharts\nIt's very hard for me to say that DIS is \"on sale\" when I look at the relatively flat performance over the last five years. While I think of DIS as a growth stock,it's less of a growth stock than NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.\nIn large part, I believe this is all about our definition of subscribers. I'll come back to that in a second. First, feast your eyes on this:\nData by YCharts\nWhat you're seeing is profit margin for DIS, NFLX, MSFT and ADBE. Quite frankly, this paints a damning picture of DIS, especially since 2020. What's most impressive, on the other hand, is how MSFT and ADBE have had has consistently high and growing profit margins. I've got to say, I'm actually a bit surprised that NFLX just keeps getting stronger and stronger in this department as well.\nBy the way, as a sidebar, it's easy to complain about the NFLX P/E ratio. It's over 50 right now. But, at the same time, DIS is at 37, MSFT is at 37, and ADBE is at 52. In that respect, they are all quite overvalued.\nWrap Up\nNow, here are my biggest points. NFLX has spent more than DIS on content and also has first mover advantage, loyalty and entrenchment. Many people have both NFLX and DIS, so I see less of a \"war\" than most people. Furthermore, it appears that NFLX has done an outstanding operational job, and their capital allocation has been strong. It's hard to look at this chart and dismiss NFLX. Clearly, it's a well-run company.\nData by YCharts\nThis next chart is extremely noisy, but you can scroll down and see the truth with your own two eyes. DIS has rather poor ROE, ROA and ROIC compared to NFLX, MSFT and ADBE.\nData by YCharts\nTo be fair, DIS was doing a pretty good job through early 2019. However, very importantly,the drops appear to have started before 2020. We cannot blame the pandemic for the decline in ROE, ROA and ROIC.\nTo be clear,DIS is going to be going gangbusters on content.\n\n Disney plans to increase its overall content spend to around $33bn in 2022, marking an $8bn rise from the previous year.\n\nFurthermore, the idea is that DIS will be rapidly growing the subscriber base.\n\n Disney+ is expected to add 140 million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 to take its total to 271 million. Netflix, meanwhile, will add 53 million subscribers through the same period, taking it to a 2026 total of 275 million.\n\nIn short, DIS isn't about to be left in the dust by NFLX. Something like 60 unscripted series, 30 comedy series and 25 drama shows will be produced. There's really too much to list here. Money is being put to work by DIS.\nNow, shifting gears, I have to say that both MSFT and ADBE have dramatically different types of subscribers. DIS and NFLX satisfy entertainment desires. These are wants,not needs.\nHere's a good way to think about MSFT and ADBE:\n\n Both companies armed businesses big and small with the tools needed to stay in business since the pandemic. As the world moved to virtual work and school, PDFs with virtual signatures and Word docs with important information became standard.\n\nIn other words, MSFT and ADBE subscribers aren't \"addicted\" to the software, as much as they arerequired to use it to do work. When your job is on the line, you've got to be using industry standard tools. Furthermore, both NFLX and DIS are B2C whereas MSFT and ADBE are B2B. It's almost impossible to compare these companies, in terms of subscribers. Sure, we can discuss subscriber counts, subscriber growth, and so forth. But, MSFT and ADBE provide software to companies, and users must use those tools. They are sticky out of necessity, not mere desire. Therefore, let's all be very careful about how we think about DIS, and how we make comparisons.\nPutting all of this together, I still believe that DIS is a wonderful business. However, I would be cautious about adding a ton, especially if that decision is based on dazzling subscriber growth, or incredible content development. At this point, I see DIS as a reasonable hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":497,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":607062046,"gmtCreate":1639459630428,"gmtModify":1639459630613,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/607062046","repostId":"1119480728","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119480728","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1639459363,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1119480728?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-14 13:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney: All Subscribers Are Not Created Equal","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119480728","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nQQQ has easily beaten DIS whereas SPY has done about the same.\nDIS has not fully bounced ba","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>QQQ has easily beaten DIS whereas SPY has done about the same.</li>\n <li>DIS has not fully bounced back from 2020 but it's certainly healing.</li>\n <li>DIS is far more like NFLX than MSFT or ADBE, despite any discussion or comparisons related to subscriber growth and associated metrics.</li>\n <li>DIS has been far less of a growth stock than&nbsp;NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db18b8191ffe57bbd7ff43b3b4de329b\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Marvin Samuel Tolentino Pineda/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Background</b></p>\n<p>I've owned Disney (DIS) since early 2016.

I greatly enjoy DIS products and services. I am reasonably pleased with DIS stock performance.\nData by YCharts\n53% gains in 5 years isn't terrible but it's not spectacular either. For added perspective, let's quickly compare DIS with the S&P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) over 10 years or so.\nData by YCharts\nAs you can see, I zoomed out for a bigger picture view of things. Clearly, QQQ has crushed DIS. Over the same time, DIS has done about as well as SPY. It's clear the 2020 was rough on the price of DIS stock. However, it was also an incredible pivot opportunity for the business with Disney Plus, the streaming home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and way more.\nBusiness Model Update\nIt's clear that DIS has been incredibly focused on subscribers for Disney Plus. Here's a quick peek, from the Q4 2021 Earnings Call:\n\n On the Direct-to-Consumer side, we are extremely pleased with the success of our portfolio streaming services. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu continue to perform incredibly well with a 118.1 million, 17.1 million, and 43.8 million subscribers, respectively, for a total of a 179 million subscriptions. To put this growth in perspective, in the past fiscal year alone, we have grown the total number of subscriptions across our DTC portfolio by 48%, and Disney+ subs in particular by 60%.\n\nNow, here's the good news and bad news. DIS leadership is planning to reach 230 million to 260 million paid subscribers globally by the end of fiscal year 2024. Obviously, that's phenomenal growth and investors should cheer. However, the dark side is that this growth isn't free.DIS doesn't expect their portfolio of streaming services to reach profitability until 2024.Ouch.\nThe key point is that DIS is not simply bolting on Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, Hulu and so on, and adding profits to the bottom line. Instead, getting to this current level of subscribers has been chewing up time and resources. And, it'll be nasty for years. The investment will drain resources. More about this later.\nOf course, very long term investors can cheer. DIS literally has the best intellectual media assets in the world. Really, there isn't any company even close. The library is amazing, huge, and growing.See for yourself.\nAs a quick aside, most people, and most analysts expected a bigger \"snap back\" from 2020, especially in relation to park visits and related activity. For example, here's what we learned about attendance in August 2021:\n\n Disney world does not share its actual capacity nor the number of attendees they get daily. But as stated above, the estimated number of average daily attendees was 57,000 before the pandemic started. So, at present, it might be welcoming a maximum of 35,000 guests daily \n running with a 35% capacity. [Emphasis: Author]\n\nBig picture, I'm not too worried about the parks and related real-world experiences offered by DIS. It might take longer to get running at full steam, but DIS can do it. I'm a bit more concerned that investors are expecting too much from DIS streaming services, without fully considering the costs. This is especially true for short term investors and speculators.\nDisney Is Not Microsoft or Adobe\nAnalysts like to compare DIS to enterprise software companies,as if all subscribers are created equal. Let's consider two incredible businesses. Both Microsoft (MSFT) and Adobe (ADBE) have done exceptionally well in recent years, compared to DIS.\nData by YCharts\nClearly, MSFT and ADBE have trounced DIS. In part, here's why:\nData by YCharts\nP/S for both MSFT and ADBE has roughly doubled. At a high level, prices are moving up faster than revenue generated for MSFT and ADBE. Meanwhile, investors place less value on DIS revenue. DIS has pretty much moved sideways.\nLet's talk some real numbers. MSFT has grown earnings by 17% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.63 and in 2021 it's about $8. ADBE has grown earnings by about 29% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.08 and it's expected to hit a staggering $12.46 this year. Meanwhile, here's how DIS looks:\nSource: FASTgraphs\nEPS might get back to 2015 levels in 2023. The dividend was killed off. DIS share price is dramatically higher, even now, compared to earnings. There's a lot of pain in this chart.\nAll if this isn't to bash DIS or to imply that the products or business is terrible. The DIS brand is pristine. Leadership is strong. The company isn't going to suddenly fall off the face of the Earth.The business is amazing.\nAll Subscribers Are Not Created Equal\nI'm not too keen to do this, but here's Netflix (NFLX) versus DIS.\nData by YCharts\nThe only point I want to make is that NFLX shareholders have done far better than DIS shareholders. And, for a different perspective, here's how $10K would have done over the last five years.\nData by YCharts\nIt's very hard for me to say that DIS is \"on sale\" when I look at the relatively flat performance over the last five years. While I think of DIS as a growth stock,it's less of a growth stock than NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.\nIn large part, I believe this is all about our definition of subscribers. I'll come back to that in a second. First, feast your eyes on this:\nData by YCharts\nWhat you're seeing is profit margin for DIS, NFLX, MSFT and ADBE. Quite frankly, this paints a damning picture of DIS, especially since 2020. What's most impressive, on the other hand, is how MSFT and ADBE have had has consistently high and growing profit margins. I've got to say, I'm actually a bit surprised that NFLX just keeps getting stronger and stronger in this department as well.\nBy the way, as a sidebar, it's easy to complain about the NFLX P/E ratio. It's over 50 right now. But, at the same time, DIS is at 37, MSFT is at 37, and ADBE is at 52. In that respect, they are all quite overvalued.\nWrap Up\nNow, here are my biggest points. NFLX has spent more than DIS on content and also has first mover advantage, loyalty and entrenchment. Many people have both NFLX and DIS, so I see less of a \"war\" than most people. Furthermore, it appears that NFLX has done an outstanding operational job, and their capital allocation has been strong. It's hard to look at this chart and dismiss NFLX. Clearly, it's a well-run company.\nData by YCharts\nThis next chart is extremely noisy, but you can scroll down and see the truth with your own two eyes. DIS has rather poor ROE, ROA and ROIC compared to NFLX, MSFT and ADBE.\nData by YCharts\nTo be fair, DIS was doing a pretty good job through early 2019. However, very importantly,the drops appear to have started before 2020. We cannot blame the pandemic for the decline in ROE, ROA and ROIC.\nTo be clear,DIS is going to be going gangbusters on content.\n\n Disney plans to increase its overall content spend to around $33bn in 2022, marking an $8bn rise from the previous year.\n\nFurthermore, the idea is that DIS will be rapidly growing the subscriber base.\n\n Disney+ is expected to add 140 million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 to take its total to 271 million. Netflix, meanwhile, will add 53 million subscribers through the same period, taking it to a 2026 total of 275 million.\n\nIn short, DIS isn't about to be left in the dust by NFLX. Something like 60 unscripted series, 30 comedy series and 25 drama shows will be produced. There's really too much to list here. Money is being put to work by DIS.\nNow, shifting gears, I have to say that both MSFT and ADBE have dramatically different types of subscribers. DIS and NFLX satisfy entertainment desires. These are wants,not needs.\nHere's a good way to think about MSFT and ADBE:\n\n Both companies armed businesses big and small with the tools needed to stay in business since the pandemic. As the world moved to virtual work and school, PDFs with virtual signatures and Word docs with important information became standard.\n\nIn other words, MSFT and ADBE subscribers aren't \"addicted\" to the software, as much as they arerequired to use it to do work. When your job is on the line, you've got to be using industry standard tools. Furthermore, both NFLX and DIS are B2C whereas MSFT and ADBE are B2B. It's almost impossible to compare these companies, in terms of subscribers. Sure, we can discuss subscriber counts, subscriber growth, and so forth. But, MSFT and ADBE provide software to companies, and users must use those tools. They are sticky out of necessity, not mere desire. Therefore, let's all be very careful about how we think about DIS, and how we make comparisons.\nPutting all of this together, I still believe that DIS is a wonderful business. However, I would be cautious about adding a ton, especially if that decision is based on dazzling subscriber growth, or incredible content development. At this point, I see DIS as a reasonable hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":551,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":604803395,"gmtCreate":1639364754189,"gmtModify":1639364928085,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/604803395","repostId":"1198225919","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198225919","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1639361104,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1198225919?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-13 10:05","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Potential SPAC sponsors hint at new tech SGX listings: CGS-CIMB","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198225919","media":"Singapore Busiess Review","summary":"The brokerage company also identified several unicorns as possible SPAC targets.\n\nIn a special purpo","content":"<p></p>\n<p>The brokerage company also identified several unicorns as possible SPAC targets.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) primer by CGS-CIMB, Tikehau Capital, Vertex Holdings, and Novo Tellus were cited as possible SPAC sponsors.

But for the holders of&nbsp;<b>Virgin Galactic</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>SPCE</u></b>) stock, patience may be an understatement. At two points this year, SPCE stock has rocketed over $50 per share.</p>\n<p>However, with the company at least a year (and likely more) away from generating meaningful revenue, the rallies of the stock can be chalked up to the meme-stock movement.</p>\n<p>Many investors who bought the stock are sitting on a loss. And at this time of year, it might be tempting for them to book their losses and move on.</p>\n<p>I wouldn’t blame them. But despite the tax consequences, I could also understand holding onto the shares as long as the position is not too large. That’s because Virgin Galactic could turn out to be a moonshot. Its performance will depend on how well it executes its plan to commercialize space tourism.</p>\n<p><b>Being Right Every Time</b></p>\n<p>I recently had an acquaintance ask me about my thoughts on SPCE stock. I told him that I am skeptical about the shares. He agreed, but asked, “if money was no object and you knew you would land safely would you do it?”</p>\n<p>I said,&nbsp; “Absolutely.” And that’s the reason to be bullish on Virgin Galactic. Moreover, it’s easy to want the firm to succeed. However, space flight is risky. According to&nbsp;<i>The New Yorker,</i>&nbsp;1.4% of all Russian, Soviet, and American crewed spaceflight missions have been&nbsp;marred by fatalities.</p>\n<p>I didn’t know that&nbsp; before reading the article. However, one year before Virgin Galactic conducted its first test flight with a civilian (in this case Sir Richard Branson), I wrote the following&nbsp;regarding my concerns&nbsp;about investing in SPCE stock:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “An accident with a ride at a theme park can set revenue back for years. An accident with a trip to the suborbital area of space will put a company out of business. You can sign all the waivers you want. The legal fees alone will be crushing.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>I followed that up a couple of months later by reminding investors that when it comes to space travel, Virgin Galactic must&nbsp;be right every time. For the most part, retail investors have ignored me. They decided that Virgin Galactic was worth a trip to the moon on gossamer wings.</p>\n<p>Perhaps investors should listen to the words of Virgin Galactic’s founder and visionary, Sir Richard Branson. Sir Richard himself acknowledged that the profits of a company attempting commercial spaceflight depend on safety.

But for the holders of Virgin Galactic (NASDAQ:SPCE) stock, patience may be an understatement. At two points this year, SPCE stock has rocketed over $50 per share.\nHowever, with the company at least a year (and likely more) away from generating meaningful revenue, the rallies of the stock can be chalked up to the meme-stock movement.\nMany investors who bought the stock are sitting on a loss. And at this time of year, it might be tempting for them to book their losses and move on.\nI wouldn’t blame them. But despite the tax consequences, I could also understand holding onto the shares as long as the position is not too large. That’s because Virgin Galactic could turn out to be a moonshot. Its performance will depend on how well it executes its plan to commercialize space tourism.\nBeing Right Every Time\nI recently had an acquaintance ask me about my thoughts on SPCE stock. I told him that I am skeptical about the shares. He agreed, but asked, “if money was no object and you knew you would land safely would you do it?”\nI said,  “Absolutely.” And that’s the reason to be bullish on Virgin Galactic. Moreover, it’s easy to want the firm to succeed. However, space flight is risky. According to The New Yorker, 1.4% of all Russian, Soviet, and American crewed spaceflight missions have been marred by fatalities.\nI didn’t know that  before reading the article. However, one year before Virgin Galactic conducted its first test flight with a civilian (in this case Sir Richard Branson), I wrote the following regarding my concerns about investing in SPCE stock:\n\n “An accident with a ride at a theme park can set revenue back for years. An accident with a trip to the suborbital area of space will put a company out of business. You can sign all the waivers you want. The legal fees alone will be crushing.”\n\nI followed that up a couple of months later by reminding investors that when it comes to space travel, Virgin Galactic must be right every time. For the most part, retail investors have ignored me. They decided that Virgin Galactic was worth a trip to the moon on gossamer wings.\nPerhaps investors should listen to the words of Virgin Galactic’s founder and visionary, Sir Richard Branson. Sir Richard himself acknowledged that the profits of a company attempting commercial spaceflight depend on safety. And he has said that a private space program can’t afford to have any fatalities.\nExpect Significant Cash Burn at Some Point\nAs Virgin Galactic’s CEO, Michael Colglazier, reminded analysts on the company’s last earnings call, Virgin Galactic is building an industry from the ground up. That’s admirable, but it’s also expensive.\nThe company has a goal of eventually launching 400 flights per year per spaceport. That means that Virgin Galactic is going to have to invest in a larger fleet, likely draining a substantial part of the company’s $1 billion war chest.\nFor a closer look at the company’s cash flow situation, I suggest you read this article by InvestorPlace contributor Mark Hake.\nSPCE Stock Is a Gamble That Could Pay Off\nI don’t know what the odds are that Virgin Galactic will be successful. My gut instinct tells me that it’s less than 50%. But that’s for others to decide. This is one stock that I’m staying away from.\nIf you have money that you absolutely won’t need and can absolutely afford to lose, then SPCE stock may be a lottery ticket worth purchasing.\nBuy the shares and stick them in your mental drawer and wait. Once the company starts commercial flights, you could be rewarded handsomely. And if you keep your position small and Virgin Galactic fails to launch, you’ll be OK.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":623,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":607062161,"gmtCreate":1639459643079,"gmtModify":1639459643230,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/607062161","repostId":"1119480728","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119480728","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1639459363,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1119480728?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-14 13:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney: All Subscribers Are Not Created Equal","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119480728","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nQQQ has easily beaten DIS whereas SPY has done about the same.\nDIS has not fully bounced ba","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>QQQ has easily beaten DIS whereas SPY has done about the same.</li>\n <li>DIS has not fully bounced back from 2020 but it's certainly healing.</li>\n <li>DIS is far more like NFLX than MSFT or ADBE, despite any discussion or comparisons related to subscriber growth and associated metrics.</li>\n <li>DIS has been far less of a growth stock than&nbsp;NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db18b8191ffe57bbd7ff43b3b4de329b\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Marvin Samuel Tolentino Pineda/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Background</b></p>\n<p>I've owned Disney (DIS) since early 2016. I greatly enjoy DIS products and services. I am reasonably pleased with DIS stock performance.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58048f15fcf1af89506563ab33f6e301\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>53% gains in 5 years isn't terrible but it's not spectacular either. For added perspective, let's quickly compare DIS with the S&amp;P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) over 10 years or so.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de2cb75ad2becfcf9268f372150a7698\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>As you can see, I zoomed out for a bigger picture view of things. Clearly, QQQ has crushed DIS. Over the same time, DIS has done about as well as SPY. It's clear the 2020 was rough on the price of DIS stock. However, it was also an incredible pivot opportunity for the business with Disney Plus, the streaming home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and way more.</p>\n<p><b>Business Model Update</b></p>\n<p>It's clear that DIS has been incredibly focused on subscribers for Disney Plus. Here's a quick peek, from the&nbsp;Q4 2021 Earnings Call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n On the Direct-to-Consumer side, we are extremely pleased with the success of our portfolio streaming services. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu continue to perform incredibly well with a 118.1 million, 17.1 million, and 43.8 million subscribers, respectively, for a total of a 179 million subscriptions. To put this growth in perspective, in the past fiscal year alone, we have grown the total number of subscriptions across our DTC portfolio by 48%, and Disney+ subs in particular by 60%.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Now, here's the good news and bad news. DIS leadership is planning to reach 230 million to 260 million paid subscribers globally by the end of fiscal year 2024. Obviously, that's phenomenal growth and investors should cheer. However, the dark side is that this growth isn't free.<b>DIS doesn't expect their portfolio of streaming services to reach profitability until 2024.</b>Ouch.</p>\n<p>The key point is that DIS is not simply bolting on Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, Hulu and so on, and adding profits to the bottom line. Instead, getting to this current level of subscribers has been chewing up time and resources. And, it'll be nasty for years. The investment will drain resources. More about this later.</p>\n<p>Of course, very long term investors can cheer. DIS literally has the best intellectual media assets in the world. Really, there isn't any company even close. The library is amazing, huge, and growing.See for yourself.</p>\n<p>As a quick aside, most people, and most analysts expected a bigger \"snap back\" from 2020, especially in relation to park visits and related activity. For example, here's what we learned about&nbsp;attendance in August 2021:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Disney world does not share its actual capacity nor the number of attendees they get daily. But as stated above, the estimated number of average daily attendees was 57,000 before the pandemic started. So, at present, it might be welcoming a maximum of 35,000 guests daily&nbsp;\n <b>running with a 35% capacity</b>. [Emphasis: Author]\n</blockquote>\n<p>Big picture, I'm not too worried about the parks and related real-world experiences offered by DIS. It might take longer to get running at full steam, but DIS can do it. I'm a bit more concerned that investors are expecting too much from DIS streaming services, without fully considering the costs. This is especially true for short term investors and speculators.</p>\n<p><b>Disney Is Not Microsoft or Adobe</b></p>\n<p>Analysts like to compare DIS to enterprise software companies,<i>as if all subscribers are created equal</i>. Let's consider two incredible businesses. Both Microsoft (MSFT) and Adobe (ADBE) have done exceptionally well in recent years, compared to DIS.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/247db57795d4cce4d0d919346b84c7f2\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Clearly, MSFT and ADBE have trounced DIS. In part, here's why:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f90248d3aef70628dea5b4029b79b516\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>P/S for both MSFT and ADBE has roughly doubled. At a high level, prices are moving up faster than revenue generated for MSFT and ADBE. Meanwhile, investors place less value on DIS revenue. DIS has pretty much moved sideways.</p>\n<p>Let's talk some real numbers. MSFT has grown earnings by 17% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.63 and in 2021 it's about $8. ADBE has grown earnings by about 29% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.08 and it's expected to hit a staggering $12.46 this year. Meanwhile, here's how DIS looks:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cbb56eaa4d09a70ca4f320a0e111896b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"366\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: FASTgraphs</span></p>\n<p>EPS might get back to 2015 levels in 2023. The dividend was killed off. DIS share price is dramatically higher, even now, compared to earnings. There's a lot of pain in this chart.</p>\n<p>All if this isn't to bash DIS or to imply that the products or business is terrible. The DIS brand is pristine. Leadership is strong. The company isn't going to suddenly fall off the face of the Earth.<i>The business is amazing</i>.</p>\n<p><b>All Subscribers Are Not Created Equal</b></p>\n<p>I'm not too keen to do this, but here's Netflix (NFLX) versus DIS.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55b99727d2cfebd285167f115f4387ae\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The only point I want to make is that NFLX shareholders have done far better than DIS shareholders. And, for a different perspective, here's how $10K would have done over the last five years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4539b42cb1304e691ad2b38dbcbf4c2d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>It's very hard for me to say that DIS is \"on sale\" when I look at the relatively flat performance over the last five years. While I think of DIS as a growth stock,<i>it's less of a growth stock</i>&nbsp;than NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.</p>\n<p>In large part, I believe this is all about our definition of subscribers. I'll come back to that in a second. First, feast your eyes on this:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3dfdf6d35c4eba3617e6fec280f09282\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>What you're seeing is profit margin for DIS, NFLX, MSFT and ADBE. Quite frankly, this paints a damning picture of DIS, especially since 2020. What's most impressive, on the other hand, is how MSFT and ADBE have had has consistently high and growing profit margins. I've got to say, I'm actually a bit surprised that NFLX just keeps getting stronger and stronger in this department as well.</p>\n<p>By the way, as a sidebar, it's easy to complain about the NFLX P/E ratio. It's over 50 right now. But, at the same time, DIS is at 37, MSFT is at 37, and ADBE is at 52. In that respect, they are all quite overvalued.</p>\n<p><b>Wrap Up</b></p>\n<p>Now, here are my biggest points. NFLX has spent more than DIS on content and also has first mover advantage, loyalty and entrenchment. Many people have both NFLX and DIS, so I see less of a \"war\" than most people. Furthermore, it appears that NFLX has done an outstanding operational job, and their capital allocation has been strong. It's hard to look at this chart and dismiss NFLX. Clearly, it's a well-run company.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37c9d98acfdd8206fa2c0323144db713\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>This next chart is extremely noisy, but you can scroll down and see the truth with your own two eyes. DIS has rather poor ROE, ROA and ROIC compared to NFLX, MSFT and ADBE.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5aaf232d38eaceea4d9621f81a7a92f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"603\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>To be fair, DIS was doing a pretty good job through early 2019. However, very importantly,<i>the drops appear to have started before 2020</i>. We cannot blame the pandemic for the decline in ROE, ROA and ROIC.</p>\n<p>To be clear,DIS is going to be going gangbusters on content.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Disney plans to increase its overall content spend to around $33bn in 2022, marking an $8bn rise from the previous year.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, the idea is that DIS will be&nbsp;rapidly growing the subscriber base.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Disney+ is expected to add 140 million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 to take its total to 271 million. Netflix, meanwhile, will add 53 million subscribers through the same period, taking it to a 2026 total of 275 million.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In short, DIS isn't about to be left in the dust by NFLX. Something like 60 unscripted series, 30 comedy series and 25 drama shows will be produced. There's really too much to list here. Money is being put to work by DIS.</p>\n<p>Now, shifting gears, I have to say that both MSFT and ADBE have dramatically different types of subscribers. DIS and NFLX satisfy entertainment desires. These are wants,<i>not needs</i>.</p>\n<p>Here's a good way to&nbsp;think about MSFT and ADBE:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Both companies armed businesses big and small with the tools needed to stay in business since the pandemic. As the world moved to virtual work and school, PDFs with virtual signatures and Word docs with important information became standard.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In other words, MSFT and ADBE subscribers aren't \"addicted\" to the software, as much as they are<i>required to use it to do work</i>. When your job is on the line, you've got to be using industry standard tools. Furthermore, both NFLX and DIS are B2C whereas MSFT and ADBE are B2B. It's almost impossible to compare these companies, in terms of subscribers. Sure, we can discuss subscriber counts, subscriber growth, and so forth. But, MSFT and ADBE provide software to companies, and users must use those tools. They are sticky out of necessity, not mere desire.

I greatly enjoy DIS products and services. I am reasonably pleased with DIS stock performance.\nData by YCharts\n53% gains in 5 years isn't terrible but it's not spectacular either. For added perspective, let's quickly compare DIS with the S&P 500 (SPY) and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) over 10 years or so.\nData by YCharts\nAs you can see, I zoomed out for a bigger picture view of things. Clearly, QQQ has crushed DIS. Over the same time, DIS has done about as well as SPY. It's clear the 2020 was rough on the price of DIS stock. However, it was also an incredible pivot opportunity for the business with Disney Plus, the streaming home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and way more.\nBusiness Model Update\nIt's clear that DIS has been incredibly focused on subscribers for Disney Plus. Here's a quick peek, from the Q4 2021 Earnings Call:\n\n On the Direct-to-Consumer side, we are extremely pleased with the success of our portfolio streaming services. Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu continue to perform incredibly well with a 118.1 million, 17.1 million, and 43.8 million subscribers, respectively, for a total of a 179 million subscriptions. To put this growth in perspective, in the past fiscal year alone, we have grown the total number of subscriptions across our DTC portfolio by 48%, and Disney+ subs in particular by 60%.\n\nNow, here's the good news and bad news. DIS leadership is planning to reach 230 million to 260 million paid subscribers globally by the end of fiscal year 2024. Obviously, that's phenomenal growth and investors should cheer. However, the dark side is that this growth isn't free.DIS doesn't expect their portfolio of streaming services to reach profitability until 2024.Ouch.\nThe key point is that DIS is not simply bolting on Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, Hulu and so on, and adding profits to the bottom line. Instead, getting to this current level of subscribers has been chewing up time and resources. And, it'll be nasty for years. The investment will drain resources. More about this later.\nOf course, very long term investors can cheer. DIS literally has the best intellectual media assets in the world. Really, there isn't any company even close. The library is amazing, huge, and growing.See for yourself.\nAs a quick aside, most people, and most analysts expected a bigger \"snap back\" from 2020, especially in relation to park visits and related activity. For example, here's what we learned about attendance in August 2021:\n\n Disney world does not share its actual capacity nor the number of attendees they get daily. But as stated above, the estimated number of average daily attendees was 57,000 before the pandemic started. So, at present, it might be welcoming a maximum of 35,000 guests daily \n running with a 35% capacity. [Emphasis: Author]\n\nBig picture, I'm not too worried about the parks and related real-world experiences offered by DIS. It might take longer to get running at full steam, but DIS can do it. I'm a bit more concerned that investors are expecting too much from DIS streaming services, without fully considering the costs. This is especially true for short term investors and speculators.\nDisney Is Not Microsoft or Adobe\nAnalysts like to compare DIS to enterprise software companies,as if all subscribers are created equal. Let's consider two incredible businesses. Both Microsoft (MSFT) and Adobe (ADBE) have done exceptionally well in recent years, compared to DIS.\nData by YCharts\nClearly, MSFT and ADBE have trounced DIS. In part, here's why:\nData by YCharts\nP/S for both MSFT and ADBE has roughly doubled. At a high level, prices are moving up faster than revenue generated for MSFT and ADBE. Meanwhile, investors place less value on DIS revenue. DIS has pretty much moved sideways.\nLet's talk some real numbers. MSFT has grown earnings by 17% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.63 and in 2021 it's about $8. ADBE has grown earnings by about 29% per year over the last 10 years. In 2015, EPS was $2.08 and it's expected to hit a staggering $12.46 this year. Meanwhile, here's how DIS looks:\nSource: FASTgraphs\nEPS might get back to 2015 levels in 2023. The dividend was killed off. DIS share price is dramatically higher, even now, compared to earnings. There's a lot of pain in this chart.\nAll if this isn't to bash DIS or to imply that the products or business is terrible. The DIS brand is pristine. Leadership is strong. The company isn't going to suddenly fall off the face of the Earth.The business is amazing.\nAll Subscribers Are Not Created Equal\nI'm not too keen to do this, but here's Netflix (NFLX) versus DIS.\nData by YCharts\nThe only point I want to make is that NFLX shareholders have done far better than DIS shareholders. And, for a different perspective, here's how $10K would have done over the last five years.\nData by YCharts\nIt's very hard for me to say that DIS is \"on sale\" when I look at the relatively flat performance over the last five years. While I think of DIS as a growth stock,it's less of a growth stock than NFLX, MSFT, and ADBE.\nIn large part, I believe this is all about our definition of subscribers. I'll come back to that in a second. First, feast your eyes on this:\nData by YCharts\nWhat you're seeing is profit margin for DIS, NFLX, MSFT and ADBE. Quite frankly, this paints a damning picture of DIS, especially since 2020. What's most impressive, on the other hand, is how MSFT and ADBE have had has consistently high and growing profit margins. I've got to say, I'm actually a bit surprised that NFLX just keeps getting stronger and stronger in this department as well.\nBy the way, as a sidebar, it's easy to complain about the NFLX P/E ratio. It's over 50 right now. But, at the same time, DIS is at 37, MSFT is at 37, and ADBE is at 52. In that respect, they are all quite overvalued.\nWrap Up\nNow, here are my biggest points. NFLX has spent more than DIS on content and also has first mover advantage, loyalty and entrenchment. Many people have both NFLX and DIS, so I see less of a \"war\" than most people. Furthermore, it appears that NFLX has done an outstanding operational job, and their capital allocation has been strong. It's hard to look at this chart and dismiss NFLX. Clearly, it's a well-run company.\nData by YCharts\nThis next chart is extremely noisy, but you can scroll down and see the truth with your own two eyes. DIS has rather poor ROE, ROA and ROIC compared to NFLX, MSFT and ADBE.\nData by YCharts\nTo be fair, DIS was doing a pretty good job through early 2019. However, very importantly,the drops appear to have started before 2020. We cannot blame the pandemic for the decline in ROE, ROA and ROIC.\nTo be clear,DIS is going to be going gangbusters on content.\n\n Disney plans to increase its overall content spend to around $33bn in 2022, marking an $8bn rise from the previous year.\n\nFurthermore, the idea is that DIS will be rapidly growing the subscriber base.\n\n Disney+ is expected to add 140 million subscribers between 2021 and 2026 to take its total to 271 million. Netflix, meanwhile, will add 53 million subscribers through the same period, taking it to a 2026 total of 275 million.\n\nIn short, DIS isn't about to be left in the dust by NFLX. Something like 60 unscripted series, 30 comedy series and 25 drama shows will be produced. There's really too much to list here. Money is being put to work by DIS.\nNow, shifting gears, I have to say that both MSFT and ADBE have dramatically different types of subscribers. DIS and NFLX satisfy entertainment desires. These are wants,not needs.\nHere's a good way to think about MSFT and ADBE:\n\n Both companies armed businesses big and small with the tools needed to stay in business since the pandemic. As the world moved to virtual work and school, PDFs with virtual signatures and Word docs with important information became standard.\n\nIn other words, MSFT and ADBE subscribers aren't \"addicted\" to the software, as much as they arerequired to use it to do work. When your job is on the line, you've got to be using industry standard tools. Furthermore, both NFLX and DIS are B2C whereas MSFT and ADBE are B2B. It's almost impossible to compare these companies, in terms of subscribers. Sure, we can discuss subscriber counts, subscriber growth, and so forth. But, MSFT and ADBE provide software to companies, and users must use those tools. They are sticky out of necessity, not mere desire. Therefore, let's all be very careful about how we think about DIS, and how we make comparisons.\nPutting all of this together, I still believe that DIS is a wonderful business. However, I would be cautious about adding a ton, especially if that decision is based on dazzling subscriber growth, or incredible content development. At this point, I see DIS as a reasonable hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":497,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":867625056,"gmtCreate":1633257976780,"gmtModify":1633257976995,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/867625056","repostId":"2172647479","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2172647479","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1633243084,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2172647479?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-03 14:38","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Why Coinbase Global Stock Was Down 12.2% in September","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2172647479","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The company is going head-to-head with financial regulators, and that is making investors nervous.","content":"<h2>What happened</h2>\n<p>Shares of <b>Coinbase Global</b> (NASDAQ:COIN) were down 12.2% in September, according to data from&nbsp;S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.

That's slightly better than the&nbsp;average stock market return&nbsp;over the last 50 years of nearly 11%.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Many companies have a long history of beating the market.

Because of that, $100 invested in each one every month could grow into a $1 million nest egg by retirement.</p>\n<h2>Benefiting from a powerful megatrend</h2>\n<p>Brookfield Renewable has enriched its investors over the years. Since its inception, the&nbsp;renewable energy&nbsp;producer has generated an annualized total return of 19%. The company had done that by investing billions of dollars into expanding its renewable energy portfolio. That has powered more than 10% annual growth in its cash flow per share, supporting 6% annual dividend increases over the last decade. </p>\n<p>However, Brookfield's best days appear to lie ahead.

That's bigger than the company's current operating portfolio of about 21 GW. Combined with rising power rates, and its growing scale, these projects should support up to 11% annual cash flow per share growth through at least 2026. </p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Brookfield sees up to another 9% yearly boost from future acquisitions. Add that growing renewable-powered cash flow stream to the company's 3%-yielding dividend, and Brookfield appears to have the power to produce double-digit annual returns for decades to come.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Connected to the data supercycle</h2>\n<p>Crown Castle has been an exceptional value creator over the years. The infrastructure-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) has delivered a more than 13% annual total return over the two-plus decades since its initial public offering. </p>\n<p>A major driver of those returns has been the billions of dollars the company has poured into expanding its communications infrastructure portfolio. Over the last decade alone, the REIT spent $31 billion on acquisitions and capital expenditures (capex), powering 9% annual dividend growth since 2014.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<p>The company still sees significant investment opportunities ahead. Crown Castle noted that the telecom industry's rollout of&nbsp;5G networks&nbsp;represents a decade-long investment cycle. Meanwhile, some see a 100-year data infrastructure upgrade investment opportunity to support the digital economy. Because of that, Crown Castle has a lot of growth ahead of it, which should drive continued strong returns. </p>\n<p>Crown Castle expects to grow its 3.2%-yielding dividend at a 7% to 8% annual rate in the near term. That suggests the company could deliver double-digit total returns in the coming years.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Plugged into several growth catalysts</h2>\n<p>NextEra Energy has also created an enormous amount of wealth for its investors over the years. The&nbsp;utility&nbsp;has generated a roughly 700% total return over the last decade alone, crushing the 276% total return produced by the S&amp;P 500. Powering the company's robust results has been its ability to deliver above-average earnings and dividend growth. It has increased its earnings per share at an 8.7% compound annual rate since 2005, supporting 9.6% compound annual dividend growth. </p>\n<p>A major catalyst has been the company's leadership in renewable energy. It has grown into one of the world's largest wind and&nbsp;solar energy&nbsp;producers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>That leadership should continue since it has one of the world's biggest backlogs of wind and solar energy development projects. In addition to tried-and-true technologies like wind and solar, NextEra is a leader in emerging technologies, including battery storage and green hydrogen. Meanwhile, it's&nbsp;tapping into other sources of growth&nbsp;like water infrastructure. Because of that, NextEra should have plenty of power to continue growing its earnings and dividend in the decades ahead.</p>\n<h2>Grow rich slowly</h2>\n<p>Compound interest can do wonders for your retirement. Steadily investing a few hundred dollars each month into high-performing stocks can create an enormous amount of wealth. One of the keys to finding stocks that can deliver decades of strong returns is focusing on those benefiting from megatrends.

The young social-media company, known for its Snapchat app, blamed the changes Apple made to iOS as a big factor in its $3 million third-quarter revenue shortfall. In addition, Snap executives forecast that fourth-quarter revenue would grow at a rate of only about 19% to 20%, down from third-quarter growth of 57%.</p>\n<p>Shares of Snap plunged more than 20% in after-hours trading, taking some of the biggest names in tech with it — Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Twitter Inc.&nbsp;and Pinterest Inc.&nbsp;all saw their shares fall after the Snap news.</p>\n<p>Facebook, for example, has been warning about the effects of Apple’s changes for more than a year, most recently in September, but investors have yet to see much change to Facebook’s very profitable business model, even amid all the other controversies at the social-media giant.</p>\n<p>Last December, Facebook even launched a full-on PR assault on Apple, with full-page ads in three national newspapers, proclaiming that Apple’s then-upcoming changes would hurt the ability of small businesses to offer targeted advertising to consumers, and app developers’ ability to offer free content.</p>\n<p>But Snap co-founder and Chief Executive Evan Spiegel — who has previously avoided aiming any specific attacks at Apple regarding the change — said Thursday that the privacy changes have proved more problematic than expected, specifically mentioning that Apple even changed the tools that advertisers have to measure results of their ads.</p>\n<p>“I think what we really underestimated were the tooling changes,” said Spiegel. “Advertisers have essentially for a long time now used a set of really sophisticated tools to measure and optimize their campaigns, so that allows them to test out a bunch of different creative and see what’s performing.”</p>\n<p>With Apple’s changes, he said, those tools “were essentially rendered blind.”</p>\n<p>Still, Spiegel reined in his criticism of Apple, adding that these privacy changes were “important to the long-term health of the ecosystem” and something that “we fully support.”</p>\n<p>In addition to Apple’s huge changes, the global supply chain and staffing problems are affecting the number of ads that companies are starting to run in the all-important holiday season.</p>\n<p>“[Advertisers] don’t necessarily want to accelerate the field of products that they are going to have a hard time getting into the hands of customers, and that is somewhat broad,” Snap Chief Business Officer Jeremi Gorman told analysts on Thursday’s post-earnings conference call.</p>\n<p>But Snap executives added, in response to an analyst’s question, that the Apple changes were having the biggest impact and would affect the broader advertising ecosystem, as some companies have been warning about but not yet quantifying.</p>\n<p>“So what you’re seeing when we go into Q4 is a full-quarter impact of those issues, on Q4, and you know the reason that we’re mentioning, you know, iOS 15, is that that’s going to continue to disrupt the advertising ecosystem,” said Derek Anderson, Snap’s chief financial officer.</p>\n<p>Facebook, Google parent Alphabet and Twitter all report earnings next week, and investors will be able to gauge how widespread those issues are from their results, guidance and comments on company conference calls. If the outlook for the fourth quarter from any of those companies is as dismal as Snap’s, investors are likely to see a huge downdraft in internet ad companies. On Thursday, many investors were trying to get ahead of future bad news, which could even potentially impact the reported mega-merger talks between PayPal Holdings Inc.&nbsp;and Pinterest.</p>\n<p>If Snap’s warning does prove to be applicable to its rivals, the next few weeks could spell an “ad-mageddon” for internet stocks and social-media companies.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In addition, Snap executives forecast that fourth-quarter revenue would grow at a rate of only about 19% to 20%, down from third-quarter growth of 57%.\nShares of Snap plunged more than 20% in after-hours trading, taking some of the biggest names in tech with it — Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Twitter Inc. and Pinterest Inc. all saw their shares fall after the Snap news.\nFacebook, for example, has been warning about the effects of Apple’s changes for more than a year, most recently in September, but investors have yet to see much change to Facebook’s very profitable business model, even amid all the other controversies at the social-media giant.\nLast December, Facebook even launched a full-on PR assault on Apple, with full-page ads in three national newspapers, proclaiming that Apple’s then-upcoming changes would hurt the ability of small businesses to offer targeted advertising to consumers, and app developers’ ability to offer free content.\nBut Snap co-founder and Chief Executive Evan Spiegel — who has previously avoided aiming any specific attacks at Apple regarding the change — said Thursday that the privacy changes have proved more problematic than expected, specifically mentioning that Apple even changed the tools that advertisers have to measure results of their ads.\n“I think what we really underestimated were the tooling changes,” said Spiegel. “Advertisers have essentially for a long time now used a set of really sophisticated tools to measure and optimize their campaigns, so that allows them to test out a bunch of different creative and see what’s performing.”\nWith Apple’s changes, he said, those tools “were essentially rendered blind.”\nStill, Spiegel reined in his criticism of Apple, adding that these privacy changes were “important to the long-term health of the ecosystem” and something that “we fully support.”\nIn addition to Apple’s huge changes, the global supply chain and staffing problems are affecting the number of ads that companies are starting to run in the all-important holiday season.\n“[Advertisers] don’t necessarily want to accelerate the field of products that they are going to have a hard time getting into the hands of customers, and that is somewhat broad,” Snap Chief Business Officer Jeremi Gorman told analysts on Thursday’s post-earnings conference call.\nBut Snap executives added, in response to an analyst’s question, that the Apple changes were having the biggest impact and would affect the broader advertising ecosystem, as some companies have been warning about but not yet quantifying.\n“So what you’re seeing when we go into Q4 is a full-quarter impact of those issues, on Q4, and you know the reason that we’re mentioning, you know, iOS 15, is that that’s going to continue to disrupt the advertising ecosystem,” said Derek Anderson, Snap’s chief financial officer.\nFacebook, Google parent Alphabet and Twitter all report earnings next week, and investors will be able to gauge how widespread those issues are from their results, guidance and comments on company conference calls. If the outlook for the fourth quarter from any of those companies is as dismal as Snap’s, investors are likely to see a huge downdraft in internet ad companies. On Thursday, many investors were trying to get ahead of future bad news, which could even potentially impact the reported mega-merger talks between PayPal Holdings Inc. and Pinterest.\nIf Snap’s warning does prove to be applicable to its rivals, the next few weeks could spell an “ad-mageddon” for internet stocks and social-media companies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":817773651,"gmtCreate":1630993512473,"gmtModify":1631893392357,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷] [财迷] [财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/817773651","repostId":"2165331788","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2165331788","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1630993007,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2165331788?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-07 13:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea's Shopee to debut in Europe with Poland launch -

The company's end goal is to have all human experiences that can be imagined to be available to be experienced with friends and family on the Roblox platform.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Roblox's mission is to build a human co-experience platform that enables billions of users to come together to play, learn, communicate, explore and expand their friendships.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source:Roblox Corporate Overview\n</blockquote>\n<p>The concept of the Metaverse or a human co-experience platform is still a very speculative idea but if Roblox successfully gets a Metaverse platform up and running worldwide, it will stand to gain significant first mover advantages and could totally replace today's major social networks like Facebook. The upside in Roblox is potentially being larger than Facebook is today, if the company is successful. In fact, at least part of the reason that I think Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)&nbsp;changed its name to Meta&nbsp;and branded itself a Metaverse company is because I think Mark Zuckerberg sees the potential of Facebook getting disrupted by Roblox.</p>\n<p><b>What is the business model?</b></p>\n<p>Let me give a brief explanation on how the Roblox is monetized. Roblox uses a freemium model, where games are free to play but advanced features and customizations are only unlocked through paying with an in-game currency called Robux, which can be purchased either through gift cards, ala carte or through subscription.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/02f69d2443db16542467c22831dfc32c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"389\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Investor Day Presentation</span></p>\n<p>Growth on the Roblox platform is largely organic and largely operates through word-of-mouth. There are two viral growth network effects associated with the platform, with one loop centered around content and the other loop centered around a social network.</p>\n<p>In the content loop, developers and creators are the prime engine of growth by creating the content that powers the platform. The content attracts players which pay for the content, which allows developers to both make a living and reinvest the money they make into building better experiences. The better experiences result in even more players, higher engagement and more spend, which in turn attracts new developers and creators, while incentivizing existing creators and developers to create even more and higher quality experiences.</p>\n<p>In Roblox's social network loop, players will play games with their friends, then invite even more of their friends to play the games which drives organic growth. The value of the Roblox platform increases to an individual when more of their friends play together. More friends and better experiences drive even more players to join.</p>\n<p>This social network loop aspect of Roblox is also a huge competitive advantage for the company, as players want to play the games that they create with their friends, and it tends to make Roblox very sticky. This competitive advantage will also likely at some point turn into a powerful&nbsp;Network Effect Moat, if enough users join the platform.</p>\n<p><b>The Key Factor</b></p>\n<p>The key factor that drives monetization on the platform is engagement. The more engagement there is, the healthier the platform.</p>\n<blockquote>\n Engagement is our north star. We're very pleased that during the third quarter, people of all ages from across the globe chose to spend over 11 billion hours on Roblox\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source: Roblox CEO David Baszucki - Roblox Q3 2021 Shareholder Letter\n</blockquote>\n<p>Roblox measures engagement through two metrics which are Daily Active Users (\"DAUs\") and hours engaged. In Q3, Roblox attracted an average of 47.3 million daily active users (DAUs) which was 31% higher than in Q3 of 2020 and was 2.6x larger than in Q3 of 2019. Users spent 11.2 billion hours engaged on the Roblox platform in Q3 of 2021, up 28% from Q3 in 2020 and up 3x over Q3 of 2019. From these increasing engagement numbers, Roblox is able to support its developer community, who earned over $130 million in the quarter and is on pace to earn well over $500 million this year.</p>\n<p>Roblox experienced severe headwinds in late October this year, as the company experienced a&nbsp;platform outage&nbsp;that shut everything down for three days. Prior to the outage, daily active users in October were 50.5 million, up 43% year-over-year. Hours of engagement in October were 3.2 billion, up 41% year-over-year. These numbers are an indication that Q4 numbers are likely to be strong when they get reported.</p>\n<p><b>What are the growth drivers Moving Forward?</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/282a44eac5fa5aa525e22bb65ba76c05\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"435\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Presentation</span></p>\n<p>The four growth drivers that the company self-identified as a priority moving forward are:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Extend International reach</li>\n <li>Broaden age demographics</li>\n <li>Expand how people use platform with new use cases</li>\n <li>Grow how engagement is monetized on platform</li>\n</ol>\n<p><b>International Expansion</b></p>\n<p>Of the four growth drivers, Roblox considers international expansion the most advanced. Currently, the rest of the world (\"ROW\") is growing faster than the USA and Canada together, which is currently at only 25% of the traffic on the platform. International Growth, like the US, occurs primarily through strong organic word of mouth in both users and developers.</p>\n<p>Roblox has also been developing powerful machine translation infrastructure, soon to be complete, that should be a big driver for international growth. This translation infrastructure will have the capability of doing translation into all&nbsp;supported languages, which is currently sitting at 11 different languages. In prior years, Roblox experiences had to be manually translated by the developer.</p>\n<p><b>Broaden Age Demographics</b></p>\n<p>Up until now, Roblox has shown great success reaching the 13 and under audience. However, for Roblox to reach its goals, the platform will have to broaden its demographics into a brand that appeals to all ages. The company plans to do this in several ways:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Enable developers to build more polished experiences that will appeal to a wider range of users. Roblox is already giving tools to its developers to begin offering deeply immersive experiences through dynamic simulation, faster loading, and more sophisticated rendering.</li>\n <li>Rapidly evolve avatar technology to be more realistic. Roblox management considers avatars important because it was discovered that they promote loyalty, engagement and an investment by the user in their virtual identity. Roblox plans on giving users a wider range of identity options, as well as giving users more options in clothing. Another area that Roblox needed improvement was facial animation. In December 2020, Roblox acquired facial tracking and animation company Loom.ai in a bid to make avatars more lifelike by doing things like giving them the ability to smile and make eye gestures.</li>\n <li>Create better User Matching through better personalized recommendations based upon age, geography, and social graphing skill level. Roblox has also been working on content ratings based upon age. Since launching personalized search and discovery, there has been increased engagement from users as well as a wider distribution of engagement across all experiences which helps expand demographics through core network effects.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Ultimately, as the technology on the Roblox platform improves, the ability to create content for older users will improve and as more content for older ages appears, it should attract older users. Roblox is still in the very early stages of expanding the age demographics, yet is already seeing better usage in ages above 13. The 17-24 years old segment is currently growing very rapidly. Measuring by DAUs, approximately 50.4% of users are over the age of 13 this year, compared to 44.5% last year and 51.2% of engagement was from users over the age of 13, up from 40.8% two years ago.</p>\n<p><b>Expanding How People Use the Platform</b></p>\n<p>Expanding how people use platform should greatly enhance both DAUs and engagement hours. The Roblox platform is essentially a medium of shared experiences and Roblox is currently in the process of expanding the range of those shared experiences beyond simply playing games to things like education, shared music experiences (concerts), virtual shopping, to maybe even one day working in virtual environments.</p>\n<p>Roblox recently held an&nbsp;Investor Day, in which the company announced they were setting up a \"Roblox Education\" division that aims \"to support 100 million students learning on the Roblox platform by 2030\". Roblox plans to do this by building dynamic learning environments that educators can use to create educational content and to teach people how to code on the Roblox platform.</p>\n<p>Roblox is also creating a&nbsp;$10 million fund&nbsp;dedicated \"to bringing high-quality educational experiences to Roblox and to support educators in using Roblox Studio in their classrooms\". The company has major plans to use Roblox Studio to help teach \"computer science, design, and development courses\" to millions of children.</p>\n<p>The stock has continued rising after its initial 42% jump after earnings and that is largely due to excitement over the news of Roblox expanding outside of games. Investors are just now becoming aware of the possibilities of the platform.</p>\n<p><b>Growing The Roblox Economy</b></p>\n<p>Roblox plans on expanding the whole economic system that was built around gaming into other economic activities like \"high quality immersive brand advertising that is native and authentic\". Advertising is only the start because ultimately shopping in virtual stores could make its way on to the Roblox platform.</p>\n<p>The basic building blocks to improving economic activity on the Roblox platform identified by the company include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Removing friction in purchasing Robux on the platform. One example of Robux friction removal is the introduction of the&nbsp;Roblox premium subscription&nbsp;offering. Roblox premium offers two things for subscribers which are providing premium subscribers with a stipend of recurring Robux at a discounted rate and also providing premium features like a VIP pass that enables subscribers to get access to premium only features or items only available for purchase with a premium subscription. What this does for Roblox is turn the platform into more of a subscription offering, which increases the stability of Roblox bookings.</li>\n <li>Making the process of purchasing the avatar and gear associated with the avatar, much easier. Also, improving how merchandise is created and sold on the platform. Roblox has long ago made the decision to make a move to a 100% user-generated content (\"UGC\") avatar marketplace. Prior to 2020, the avatar marketplace was primarily populated by Roblox designed items. Roblox is still relatively early in this transition to UGC.</li>\n <li>Testing ways to have select brands participate in the Roblox economy and engage with users in a way that enhances the user experience, which includes working with brands to sell branded merchandise in a catalogue. There are several examples of branding. One is with Disney(NYSE:DIS)having&nbsp;<i>Avengers: Endgame</i>&nbsp;themed collectibles&nbsp;available to be won in a game, another is Roblox teaming up with the NFL for a&nbsp;Superbowl promotion.Other examples of brands working with Roblox are entertainment brands working with Roblox to help them debut new content using interactive experiences like&nbsp;Ready Player One, Avengers and Aquaman. Roblox has even held concerts online and worked with artists like&nbsp;Ava Max&nbsp;on launching a single that attracted 1 million users. Various brands have also become interested in establishing their own presence on Roblox and Roblox calls these Branded Worlds. The first Branded World was launched with DC comics and today it has received millions of visitors. In an announcement made just recently, Nike(NYSE:NKE)teamed up with Roblox on building a&nbsp;'Nikeland' virtual space.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Let's now look at the earnings report that sent Roblox's stock up 42% in one day.</p>\n<p><b>Roblox Q3 2021 Earnings Report</b></p>\n<p>Before getting into the revenues, I thought the following graphic from the&nbsp;Q3 2021 Supplemental materials&nbsp;would be very informative in describing how Roblox recognizes GAAP revenues:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba131189d01319851cb518635499c00f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials</span></p>\n<p>Roblox Q3 2021 bookings grew 28% to $637.8 million compared to $496.5 million last year. For Roblox, booking growth is more important than revenue growth because bookings is actually recorded when people purchase Robux, but revenues are only recognized as users spend the Robux on the platform.</p>\n<p>The company has also estimated October bookings between $177 million and $179 million, up 30% to 34% year-over-year, which is an indication that Q4 could also outperform.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04c23ff22edb1bffd9c81382aa468f4b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials</span></p>\n<p>Average bookings per daily active user (ABPDAU) was $13.49 in Q3 2021, compared to $13.73 last year. The small decline was due to a shift in the geographic mix of the user base. ABPDAU is defined as bookings in a given period divided by the DAUs for such period. The metric ABPDAU is used to understand monetization trends across active users when they buy virtual currency and subscriptions. This number is also sort of a proxy for the value of the platform to Daily Active Users.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/20cec146a312fc52bb7b913c52ab34ef\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"358\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials</span></p>\n<p>The following graphic reconciles revenues to bookings and gives an investor a better idea of the relationship between revenues, deferred revenues and bookings.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5bc7c29257bf140ff5fb9035a7cf9d61\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"148\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Earnings Release</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/178bc75cc39aabe79f36b10cd48be30f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"358\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials</span></p>\n<p>Revenue in Q3 2021 was $509.3 million, an increase of 102% over Q3 2020.

The Developer Exchange Fee is the payout that developers can elect to receive by converting Robux back into real world cash, which Roblox reports as an expense. Infrastructure and Trust &amp; Safety are the costs associated with running&nbsp;Roblox cloud&nbsp;and the costs of operating the platform with security, safety and trust in mind.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e2df9d03933067820a908838201f50d5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials</span></p>\n<p>Roblox is still heavily in investment mode, so operating expenses far exceed GAAP Gross Profit, resulting in an operating loss in Q3 2021 of $77.45 million compared to an operating loss of $51.52 million from the prior year.</p>\n<p>Net loss attributable to common stockholders, which includes a portion of the net loss attributable to the Luobu subsidiary, was $74.0 million, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $48.6 million last year. Net losses increased due to the higher levels of expense required to support the growth of the business and the fact that Roblox defers a significant amount of revenue to later periods.</p>\n<p>Roblox anticipates reporting net losses in the near and medium term, while also generating positive cash from operations. This occurs because deferred revenues are not included on the income statement, since deferred revenues are not considered revenue until they are earned, while, deferred revenues are included in the statement of cash flows.</p>\n<p>Roblox Q3 GAAP EPS of -$0.13 beats estimates by $0.01.</p>\n<p>Young companies that are scaling often use a metric calledEBITDAbecause the early life stages of a company will often include a lot of financing and capital expenditures, which makes it hard to compare quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year operational profitability and efficiency.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e6ec5f480a07e1dced7f84cf0a91285\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"349\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials</span></p>\n<p>Roblox adjusted EBITDA dropped to $135.7 million from a year-ago $161 million, which is an indication that this company is very much in investment mode to build out the Metaverse, which has been a very hot theme in the market lately.</p>\n<p><b>Balance Sheet</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8de3420f79c56ccc0ea168bd56ee1f53\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"377\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Roblox Q3 2021 Earnings Release</span></p>\n<p>Balance sheet had $1.93 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of the quarter.

The average price target is $114.40 with a high forecast of $150.00 and a low forecast of $70.00. The average price target represents a 17% decrease from the last price of $134.72.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e21a864bc21a4c71e07dd8e4b52fac31\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p><b>Short Term Risks</b>: Roblox now trades at a Price to Sales of 40, which is near the upper range of where it has traded since its IPO. This is a highly valued stock and if the company fails to execute and/or investors get nervous because of macroeconomic risks like rising interest rates, supply chain woes or potential war concerns over Taiwan, the stock could drop very rapidly.</p>\n<p>Another risk that has been a big knock on the stock of Roblox this year is that with lockdowns and school closures ending, it could affect engagement on the Roblox platform because the age demographics that currently use Roblox are mostly school age. Roblox's Q3 results has taken a lot of the wind out of the sails of that theory, as engagement is still healthy.</p>\n<p>Also, I don't think it is any accident that Roblox has announced a lot of education initiatives at its investor day. If Roblox is successful in getting educators to use Roblox in school systems around the country, then concerns that the school system will lower engagement from kids aged 7 to 18 will only go lower over time.</p>\n<p><b>Long Term Risk</b>: Roblox is a speculative stock. What investors are speculating on is that the concept of the Metaverse becomes popular and that Roblox will become one of the leading players in the Metaverse. If the Metaverse fails to reach the level of popularity that investors expect or Roblox fails to establish itself as one of the leading players in the Metaverse, then the stock will fall.</p>\n<p>Roblox will also have fierce competition in the Metaverse arena, including Meta, formerly known as Facebook and they will also have to face other large players like Nvidia's(NASDAQ:NVDA)&nbsp;Omniverse. Roblox currently has first mover advantages over most Metaverse players, as well as having the advantage of building the Roblox platform with trust and security in mind. This mindset is very different than Facebook, which sacrificed trust and security, in the name of growth on the Facebook platform. Roblox, on the other hand, took trust and security far more seriously very early on, probably after observing many of Facebook's mistakes in building a social network.</p>\n<p>Because of Roblox branding itself as safe and secure, any breach in that safety and security can damage the brand long term. Roblox has already had problems with its security, with some developers having found&nbsp;ways around restrictions&nbsp;around sexual content and dating, that Roblox wound up having to patch.</p>\n<p>Another concern is Roblox addiction. There is a fine line between driving more engagement and making children so addicted to the platform that they fail to develop real life social skills. Any adverse publicity on the topic of Roblox addiction where it is found that too much time in the Metaverse hurts people's mental health could hurt the company's long-term goal of raising engagement levels.</p>\n<p>Last but not least. Up until now, Roblox has been mostly for kids. Long-term, Roblox's business depends on its demographics spreading to adults. If Roblox fails in expanding its demographics, the stock will likely have far less upside than investors are currently enthusiastically pricing in.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Roblox stock is a buy for very aggressive investors willing to speculate on the upside of the Metaverse. This stock is selling at a high valuation, so less aggressive investors might want to wait for the stock to pull back.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The stock traded as high as $103.87 intraday in early June because of investor excitement over the possibility that Roblox could evolve into one of the first Metaverse companies.\nHowever, on June 15, Roblox released its May 2021 Key Metrics and the stock dropped 8% because of the perception that growth was slowing. The stock essentially stagnated by bouncing around between $70 and $90 until November 9th when the stock shot up 42% after reporting very strong Q3 earnings. Roblox was further propelled upwards by excitement over the company's future initiatives after the Roblox Investor Day on November 16.\n\nAfter such a massive move, that now has the stock back to trading at 40 times sales, investors might be wondering whether or not to chase the stock higher after such a huge move in a short period of time.\nData by YCharts\nReasons Why Roblox is Still a Buy\nRoblox started off simply as a platform where users could play games created by other users and share their own game creations to be played by others. However, if that was all there was to Roblox, then it would not likely be trading at a PS ratio of 40.\nSource: Roblox Presentation\nRoblox was designed almost from the beginning to be a human co-experience platform, which is now being more commonly called the Metaverse. The company's end goal is to have all human experiences that can be imagined to be available to be experienced with friends and family on the Roblox platform.\n\n Roblox's mission is to build a human co-experience platform that enables billions of users to come together to play, learn, communicate, explore and expand their friendships.\n\n\n Source:Roblox Corporate Overview\n\nThe concept of the Metaverse or a human co-experience platform is still a very speculative idea but if Roblox successfully gets a Metaverse platform up and running worldwide, it will stand to gain significant first mover advantages and could totally replace today's major social networks like Facebook. The upside in Roblox is potentially being larger than Facebook is today, if the company is successful. In fact, at least part of the reason that I think Facebook(NASDAQ:FB) changed its name to Meta and branded itself a Metaverse company is because I think Mark Zuckerberg sees the potential of Facebook getting disrupted by Roblox.\nWhat is the business model?\nLet me give a brief explanation on how the Roblox is monetized. Roblox uses a freemium model, where games are free to play but advanced features and customizations are only unlocked through paying with an in-game currency called Robux, which can be purchased either through gift cards, ala carte or through subscription.\nSource: Roblox Investor Day Presentation\nGrowth on the Roblox platform is largely organic and largely operates through word-of-mouth. There are two viral growth network effects associated with the platform, with one loop centered around content and the other loop centered around a social network.\nIn the content loop, developers and creators are the prime engine of growth by creating the content that powers the platform. The content attracts players which pay for the content, which allows developers to both make a living and reinvest the money they make into building better experiences. The better experiences result in even more players, higher engagement and more spend, which in turn attracts new developers and creators, while incentivizing existing creators and developers to create even more and higher quality experiences.\nIn Roblox's social network loop, players will play games with their friends, then invite even more of their friends to play the games which drives organic growth. The value of the Roblox platform increases to an individual when more of their friends play together. More friends and better experiences drive even more players to join.\nThis social network loop aspect of Roblox is also a huge competitive advantage for the company, as players want to play the games that they create with their friends, and it tends to make Roblox very sticky. This competitive advantage will also likely at some point turn into a powerful Network Effect Moat, if enough users join the platform.\nThe Key Factor\nThe key factor that drives monetization on the platform is engagement. The more engagement there is, the healthier the platform.\n\n Engagement is our north star. We're very pleased that during the third quarter, people of all ages from across the globe chose to spend over 11 billion hours on Roblox\n\n\n Source: Roblox CEO David Baszucki - Roblox Q3 2021 Shareholder Letter\n\nRoblox measures engagement through two metrics which are Daily Active Users (\"DAUs\") and hours engaged. In Q3, Roblox attracted an average of 47.3 million daily active users (DAUs) which was 31% higher than in Q3 of 2020 and was 2.6x larger than in Q3 of 2019. Users spent 11.2 billion hours engaged on the Roblox platform in Q3 of 2021, up 28% from Q3 in 2020 and up 3x over Q3 of 2019. From these increasing engagement numbers, Roblox is able to support its developer community, who earned over $130 million in the quarter and is on pace to earn well over $500 million this year.\nRoblox experienced severe headwinds in late October this year, as the company experienced a platform outage that shut everything down for three days. Prior to the outage, daily active users in October were 50.5 million, up 43% year-over-year. Hours of engagement in October were 3.2 billion, up 41% year-over-year. These numbers are an indication that Q4 numbers are likely to be strong when they get reported.\nWhat are the growth drivers Moving Forward?\nSource: Roblox Presentation\nThe four growth drivers that the company self-identified as a priority moving forward are:\n\nExtend International reach\nBroaden age demographics\nExpand how people use platform with new use cases\nGrow how engagement is monetized on platform\n\nInternational Expansion\nOf the four growth drivers, Roblox considers international expansion the most advanced. Currently, the rest of the world (\"ROW\") is growing faster than the USA and Canada together, which is currently at only 25% of the traffic on the platform. International Growth, like the US, occurs primarily through strong organic word of mouth in both users and developers.\nRoblox has also been developing powerful machine translation infrastructure, soon to be complete, that should be a big driver for international growth. This translation infrastructure will have the capability of doing translation into all supported languages, which is currently sitting at 11 different languages. In prior years, Roblox experiences had to be manually translated by the developer.\nBroaden Age Demographics\nUp until now, Roblox has shown great success reaching the 13 and under audience. However, for Roblox to reach its goals, the platform will have to broaden its demographics into a brand that appeals to all ages. The company plans to do this in several ways:\n\nEnable developers to build more polished experiences that will appeal to a wider range of users. Roblox is already giving tools to its developers to begin offering deeply immersive experiences through dynamic simulation, faster loading, and more sophisticated rendering.\nRapidly evolve avatar technology to be more realistic. Roblox management considers avatars important because it was discovered that they promote loyalty, engagement and an investment by the user in their virtual identity. Roblox plans on giving users a wider range of identity options, as well as giving users more options in clothing. Another area that Roblox needed improvement was facial animation. In December 2020, Roblox acquired facial tracking and animation company Loom.ai in a bid to make avatars more lifelike by doing things like giving them the ability to smile and make eye gestures.\nCreate better User Matching through better personalized recommendations based upon age, geography, and social graphing skill level. Roblox has also been working on content ratings based upon age. Since launching personalized search and discovery, there has been increased engagement from users as well as a wider distribution of engagement across all experiences which helps expand demographics through core network effects.\n\nUltimately, as the technology on the Roblox platform improves, the ability to create content for older users will improve and as more content for older ages appears, it should attract older users. Roblox is still in the very early stages of expanding the age demographics, yet is already seeing better usage in ages above 13. The 17-24 years old segment is currently growing very rapidly. Measuring by DAUs, approximately 50.4% of users are over the age of 13 this year, compared to 44.5% last year and 51.2% of engagement was from users over the age of 13, up from 40.8% two years ago.\nExpanding How People Use the Platform\nExpanding how people use platform should greatly enhance both DAUs and engagement hours. The Roblox platform is essentially a medium of shared experiences and Roblox is currently in the process of expanding the range of those shared experiences beyond simply playing games to things like education, shared music experiences (concerts), virtual shopping, to maybe even one day working in virtual environments.\nRoblox recently held an Investor Day, in which the company announced they were setting up a \"Roblox Education\" division that aims \"to support 100 million students learning on the Roblox platform by 2030\". Roblox plans to do this by building dynamic learning environments that educators can use to create educational content and to teach people how to code on the Roblox platform.\nRoblox is also creating a $10 million fund dedicated \"to bringing high-quality educational experiences to Roblox and to support educators in using Roblox Studio in their classrooms\". The company has major plans to use Roblox Studio to help teach \"computer science, design, and development courses\" to millions of children.\nThe stock has continued rising after its initial 42% jump after earnings and that is largely due to excitement over the news of Roblox expanding outside of games. Investors are just now becoming aware of the possibilities of the platform.\nGrowing The Roblox Economy\nRoblox plans on expanding the whole economic system that was built around gaming into other economic activities like \"high quality immersive brand advertising that is native and authentic\". Advertising is only the start because ultimately shopping in virtual stores could make its way on to the Roblox platform.\nThe basic building blocks to improving economic activity on the Roblox platform identified by the company include:\n\nRemoving friction in purchasing Robux on the platform. One example of Robux friction removal is the introduction of the Roblox premium subscription offering. Roblox premium offers two things for subscribers which are providing premium subscribers with a stipend of recurring Robux at a discounted rate and also providing premium features like a VIP pass that enables subscribers to get access to premium only features or items only available for purchase with a premium subscription. What this does for Roblox is turn the platform into more of a subscription offering, which increases the stability of Roblox bookings.\nMaking the process of purchasing the avatar and gear associated with the avatar, much easier. Also, improving how merchandise is created and sold on the platform. Roblox has long ago made the decision to make a move to a 100% user-generated content (\"UGC\") avatar marketplace. Prior to 2020, the avatar marketplace was primarily populated by Roblox designed items. Roblox is still relatively early in this transition to UGC.\nTesting ways to have select brands participate in the Roblox economy and engage with users in a way that enhances the user experience, which includes working with brands to sell branded merchandise in a catalogue. There are several examples of branding. One is with Disney(NYSE:DIS)having Avengers: Endgame themed collectibles available to be won in a game, another is Roblox teaming up with the NFL for a Superbowl promotion.Other examples of brands working with Roblox are entertainment brands working with Roblox to help them debut new content using interactive experiences like Ready Player One, Avengers and Aquaman. Roblox has even held concerts online and worked with artists like Ava Max on launching a single that attracted 1 million users. Various brands have also become interested in establishing their own presence on Roblox and Roblox calls these Branded Worlds. The first Branded World was launched with DC comics and today it has received millions of visitors. In an announcement made just recently, Nike(NYSE:NKE)teamed up with Roblox on building a 'Nikeland' virtual space.\n\nLet's now look at the earnings report that sent Roblox's stock up 42% in one day.\nRoblox Q3 2021 Earnings Report\nBefore getting into the revenues, I thought the following graphic from the Q3 2021 Supplemental materials would be very informative in describing how Roblox recognizes GAAP revenues:\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nRoblox Q3 2021 bookings grew 28% to $637.8 million compared to $496.5 million last year. For Roblox, booking growth is more important than revenue growth because bookings is actually recorded when people purchase Robux, but revenues are only recognized as users spend the Robux on the platform.\nThe company has also estimated October bookings between $177 million and $179 million, up 30% to 34% year-over-year, which is an indication that Q4 could also outperform.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nAverage bookings per daily active user (ABPDAU) was $13.49 in Q3 2021, compared to $13.73 last year. The small decline was due to a shift in the geographic mix of the user base. ABPDAU is defined as bookings in a given period divided by the DAUs for such period. The metric ABPDAU is used to understand monetization trends across active users when they buy virtual currency and subscriptions. This number is also sort of a proxy for the value of the platform to Daily Active Users.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nThe following graphic reconciles revenues to bookings and gives an investor a better idea of the relationship between revenues, deferred revenues and bookings.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Earnings Release\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nRevenue in Q3 2021 was $509.3 million, an increase of 102% over Q3 2020. Cost of revenue totaled $130.0 million, up 98% year over year. Gross Profits were $379 million and Gross Margins were 74.47%.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nData by YCharts\nRoblox has additional Operating Expenses to the normal R&D, S&M, and G&A expenses, which are labelled by the company as Developer Exchange Fees and Infrastructure & Trust and Safety. The Developer Exchange Fee is the payout that developers can elect to receive by converting Robux back into real world cash, which Roblox reports as an expense. Infrastructure and Trust & Safety are the costs associated with running Roblox cloud and the costs of operating the platform with security, safety and trust in mind.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nRoblox is still heavily in investment mode, so operating expenses far exceed GAAP Gross Profit, resulting in an operating loss in Q3 2021 of $77.45 million compared to an operating loss of $51.52 million from the prior year.\nNet loss attributable to common stockholders, which includes a portion of the net loss attributable to the Luobu subsidiary, was $74.0 million, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $48.6 million last year. Net losses increased due to the higher levels of expense required to support the growth of the business and the fact that Roblox defers a significant amount of revenue to later periods.\nRoblox anticipates reporting net losses in the near and medium term, while also generating positive cash from operations. This occurs because deferred revenues are not included on the income statement, since deferred revenues are not considered revenue until they are earned, while, deferred revenues are included in the statement of cash flows.\nRoblox Q3 GAAP EPS of -$0.13 beats estimates by $0.01.\nYoung companies that are scaling often use a metric calledEBITDAbecause the early life stages of a company will often include a lot of financing and capital expenditures, which makes it hard to compare quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year operational profitability and efficiency.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nRoblox adjusted EBITDA dropped to $135.7 million from a year-ago $161 million, which is an indication that this company is very much in investment mode to build out the Metaverse, which has been a very hot theme in the market lately.\nBalance Sheet\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Earnings Release\nBalance sheet had $1.93 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of the quarter. There is no long-term debt on the balance sheet. The company has payables of $178.65 million.\nCash from operations, which is the amount of money a company brings in from its ongoing, regular business activities was $181.2 million.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nRoblox's Free Cash Flow, which is the amount of cash generated that is free and clear of all internal or external obligations, increased 7% over Q3 2020 to $170.6 million.\nSource: Roblox Q3 2021 Supplemental materials\nRoblox currently has a very solid balance sheet, positive cash flows, and the company has the ability to fund its growth initiatives.\nAnalyst Price Targets\nSource: Yahoo Finance\nThe above is based on 10 Wall Street analysts offering 12-month price targets for Roblox in the last 3 months. The average price target is $114.40 with a high forecast of $150.00 and a low forecast of $70.00. The average price target represents a 17% decrease from the last price of $134.72.\n\nRisks\nShort Term Risks: Roblox now trades at a Price to Sales of 40, which is near the upper range of where it has traded since its IPO. This is a highly valued stock and if the company fails to execute and/or investors get nervous because of macroeconomic risks like rising interest rates, supply chain woes or potential war concerns over Taiwan, the stock could drop very rapidly.\nAnother risk that has been a big knock on the stock of Roblox this year is that with lockdowns and school closures ending, it could affect engagement on the Roblox platform because the age demographics that currently use Roblox are mostly school age. Roblox's Q3 results has taken a lot of the wind out of the sails of that theory, as engagement is still healthy.\nAlso, I don't think it is any accident that Roblox has announced a lot of education initiatives at its investor day. If Roblox is successful in getting educators to use Roblox in school systems around the country, then concerns that the school system will lower engagement from kids aged 7 to 18 will only go lower over time.\nLong Term Risk: Roblox is a speculative stock. What investors are speculating on is that the concept of the Metaverse becomes popular and that Roblox will become one of the leading players in the Metaverse. If the Metaverse fails to reach the level of popularity that investors expect or Roblox fails to establish itself as one of the leading players in the Metaverse, then the stock will fall.\nRoblox will also have fierce competition in the Metaverse arena, including Meta, formerly known as Facebook and they will also have to face other large players like Nvidia's(NASDAQ:NVDA) Omniverse. Roblox currently has first mover advantages over most Metaverse players, as well as having the advantage of building the Roblox platform with trust and security in mind. This mindset is very different than Facebook, which sacrificed trust and security, in the name of growth on the Facebook platform. Roblox, on the other hand, took trust and security far more seriously very early on, probably after observing many of Facebook's mistakes in building a social network.\nBecause of Roblox branding itself as safe and secure, any breach in that safety and security can damage the brand long term. Roblox has already had problems with its security, with some developers having found ways around restrictions around sexual content and dating, that Roblox wound up having to patch.\nAnother concern is Roblox addiction. There is a fine line between driving more engagement and making children so addicted to the platform that they fail to develop real life social skills. Any adverse publicity on the topic of Roblox addiction where it is found that too much time in the Metaverse hurts people's mental health could hurt the company's long-term goal of raising engagement levels.\nLast but not least. Up until now, Roblox has been mostly for kids. Long-term, Roblox's business depends on its demographics spreading to adults. If Roblox fails in expanding its demographics, the stock will likely have far less upside than investors are currently enthusiastically pricing in.\nConclusion\nRoblox stock is a buy for very aggressive investors willing to speculate on the upside of the Metaverse. This stock is selling at a high valuation, so less aggressive investors might want to wait for the stock to pull back.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":150,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":871831329,"gmtCreate":1637048132713,"gmtModify":1637048132788,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/871831329","repostId":"2183188070","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2183188070","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1637047263,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2183188070?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-16 15:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Grab’s Ride-Hailing Service Disrupted Across Southeast Asia","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2183188070","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Grab Holdings Inc.’s ride-hailing service was having technical difficulties in markets including Sin","content":"<p>Grab Holdings Inc.’s ride-hailing service was having technical difficulties in markets including Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines on Tuesday with some customers reporting problems with using the app.</p>\n<p>“We are currently experiencing a service disruption,” Grab said in a statement in response to questions from Bloomberg News. “Our teams are working hard to fix this and we will provide updates as they become available.

Market participants will be watching closely for changes in nuance which could signal a shift in the Fed's tapering timeline.\n\"It has been a week of mixed economic data and we are focused clearly on what will come out of the Fed meeting next week,\" said Bill Northey, senior investment director at US Bank Wealth Management in Helena, Montana.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 166.44 points, or 0.48 per cent, to 34,584.88; the S&P 500 lost 40.76 points, or 0.91 per cent, at 4,432.99; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 137.96 points, or 0.91 per cent, to 15,043.97.\nThe S&P 500 ended below its 50-day moving average, which in recent history has proven a rather sturdy support level.\nOf the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, all but healthcare ended in the red, with materials and utilities suffering the biggest percentage drops.\nWall Street ends rollercoaster week sharply lower\nCovid-19 vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna dropped 1.3 per cent and 2.4 per cent, respectively, as US health officials moved the debate over booster doses to a panel of independent experts.\nUS Steel Corp shed 8 per cent after it unveiled a US$3 billion (S$4 billion) mini-mill investment plan.\nVolume and volatility spiked toward the end of the session due to \"triple witching,\" which is the quarterly, simultaneous expiration of stock options, stock index futures, and stock index options contracts.\nVolume on US exchanges was 15.51 billion shares, compared with the 9.70 billion average over the last 20 trading days.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.97-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.00-to-1 ratio favoured advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted seven new 52-week highs and two new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 67 new highs and 82 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":23,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":880784149,"gmtCreate":1631083037881,"gmtModify":1631891513145,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569971237956537","authorIdStr":"3569971237956537"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","listText":"[财迷]&nbsp;","text":"[财迷]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/880784149","repostId":"1170137847","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170137847","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631082979,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1170137847?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-08 14:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ByteDance in Talks to Borrow Up to $5 Billion to Fund Overseas Expansion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170137847","media":"The Information","summary":"TikTok owner ByteDance is in talks with banks to borrow up to $5 billion in a syndicated loan to ref","content":"<p>TikTok owner ByteDance is in talks with banks to borrow up to $5 billion in a syndicated loan to refinance debt and pay for overseas expansion, people with knowledge of the matter said, as the path to an initial public offering appears unlikely this year.</p>\n<p>ByteDance plans to use more than half of the money to refinance its existing debt to take advantage of current low interest rates, while spending the rest on its operations in the U.S., Europe, Latin America and other parts of the world, where it needs to keep spending on growing headcount, marketing and computing power, the people said.

At this price, the company is expected to grow sales by 46% in 2021, and by around 20% over the next two years.

As the economy reopens, its customers, primary school-aged children, must return to school and may no longer have the time to play 2.6 hours per day on its platform. Although Q3 2021 results were better-than-expected, it was helped by<i>Squid Games</i>, a potentially fleetly benefit. As a result, the company may fail to meet growth expectations.</p>\n<p>To sustain long-term growth, RBLX must hold on to customers as they age. Approximately 80% of the company's DAU are under the age of 25, and the brand is closely associated with child play. The company's ability to appeal to adults remains an open question. However, the company has made notable progress towards addressing this concern:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e7c9436ae474a55b98e54e7310e109\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"323\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: November 2021 Roblox Analyst Day</span></p>\n<p>The company's young user base requires significant investments in safety.
