We will get back to normalcy.\"</p>\n<p>Tech companies -- among the first to ask employees to work from home during the pandemic -- are leading the return to the office by the fall. Their reopening plans offer a glimpse into office life of the next few years, with a heavy emphasis on a hybrid work model and three-day work weeks onsite, as well as no vaccine requirements. California's COVID-19 state of emergency order will remain in place beyond June 15, despite plans to fully reopen the state's economy on that date, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.</p>\n<p>\"Three days a week [in the office] is the new five,\" <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWLO\">Twilio Inc</a>. (TWLO) Chief People Officer Christy Lake told MarketWatch, noting that 77% of the company's employees said they miss the office. \"The claims that 'the office is dead' are over-hyped. The truth is that the reasons people come into the physical office are changing.\"</p>\n<p>Dynamic spaces will occupy a key part of Twilio's plans. The San Francisco-based company has revamped offices with specific areas for open collaboration, community and socializing, heads-down work, and flexible multipurpose spaces, said Lake, who added that some employees will trickle back to Twilio's Bay Area offices beginning July 14. Employees have the option of working from home throughout the year.</p>\n<p>Pre-pandemic, many in Silicon Valley were already on the path to a hybrid situation. Advances in videoconferencing technology and bandwidth had given them the luxury of working from home several days a week to avoid car-choked freeways. And employers were OK with the arrangement to scoop up talent from across the country. What COVID did was accelerate a work trend that was already clearly in motion, said Heather Kernahan, global CEO at PR agency Hotwire.</p>\n<p>\"It's not going 'back to work.' We've been working hard,\" Kernahan said. \"Thoughtful working is what you do, not where you go.\"</p>\n<p>An exodus back to the office is likely to occur by September, based on data collected by real-estate company Savills, which surveyed more than 120 tech companies in March. More than half said they expect to be back in the office by the third quarter of this calendar year.</p>\n<p>Silicon Valley's largest employers, sitting on millions of square feet of land they own, have been particularly aggressive in dictating when workers get back. How that pans out in an era when employees are increasingly outspoken about work conditions, including the option to work exclusively from home, bears watching, say labor experts.</p>\n<p>While employees at smaller companies have overwhelmingly shown a preference to return, those at Apple and other behemoths aren't so sure, given the large number of people congregating in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> place.</p>\n<p>Shortly after Apple Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a> pronounced employees must work in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) beginning in early September -- including at Apple Park, the futuristic \"spaceship\"-like headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., that the company spent an estimated $5 billion to design and build -- some workers pushed back.</p>\n<p>\"We would like to take the opportunity to communicate a growing concern among our colleagues,\" Apple employees said in a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook. \"That Apple's remote/location-flexible work policy, and the communication around it, have already forced some of our colleagues to quit. Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple.\"</p>\n<p>Google parent Alphabet Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">$(GOOGL)$</a>(GOOGL) said it expects about 20% of its workforce to remain fully remote this fall , while 60% will work a hybrid office/home mix.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> Inc. (FB) employees have returned to a 10% maximum capacity at corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., and other select San Francisco Bay Area offices. Facebook is likely to fully reopen most U.S. offices by October, and non-remote employees will work in offices at least half the time. The company and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> Inc. (TWTR) have said employees will be allowed to permanently work from home if their jobs allow for it.</p>\n<p>MarketWatch talked to at least 20 companies, and a handful, including Twilio and Box, require employees to be vaccinated before returning to the office. Facebook and Amazon.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a>, for example, only encourage employees to vaccinate.</p>\n<p>Others, however, have taken a more measured approach.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a>.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM.AU\">$(CRM.AU)$</a> reopened its first U.S. office, the Salesforce <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWR.AU\">Tower</a> headquarters in San Francisco, in May. Offices in Palo Alto, Calif., and Irvine, Calif, will follow in the coming months. At the same time, the company extended the option for all employees to continue to work from home through the end of 2021.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OKTA\">Okta Inc.</a> (OKTA) is shifting from large, campus-type locations serving regions to distributed offices based on where employees live. The new offices will function like Apple stores -- an \"experiential place\" where customers and partners can learn about products and chat with experts, and employees can collaborate as needed, an Okta spokeswoman told MarketWatch.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BOX\">Box Inc</a>. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BOX.UK\">$(BOX.UK)$</a> is opening its San Francisco office in mid-July and its Redwood City, Calif., headquarters in early August at limited capacity, per local regulations. What its workers will encounter is a mix of assigned desks and hoteling, a form of office management in which workers schedule their use of desks, cubicles and offices. But travel remains prohibited until at least later this summer, and quarterly all-hands meetings will remain virtual through Feb. 1, 2022.</p>\n<p>Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HPE\">$(HPE)$</a> has divided its workforce into two classes: \"Edge\" workers will come to the office with their laptops once or twice a week for meetings, collaboration and culture. \"Office\" workers will maintain dedicated work stations and come to the office most days.</p>\n<p>German software giant SAP (SAP.XE), which has a Palo Alto, Calif., campus, opened its offices in late April at less than 5% daily capacity for \"employees who choose to return to the office for business critical needs,\" a spokesperson said.</p>\n<p>Then there are outliers like VMware Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VMW\">$(VMW)$</a>, where few employees currently work onsite. The company is offering employees the choice to permanently work from home as part of a digital-first approach. VMware prohibits meetings and events of more than 10 people at the office -- a policy that will remain in effect until at least July 30. Few employees are currently working at the office, according to the company.</p>\n<p>Boatsetter Inc., an online platform for boat rentals in Florida, went to the extreme and shed 6,000 feet of office space.</p>\n<p>Whether employees are entirely open to the idea of returning full-time in the foreseeable future is another matter.</p>\n<p>About <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> in three (34%) working from home said they would look for a new job if forced to be in the office full time, and nearly half (49%) prefer a hybrid arrangement, according to a Robert Half poll of 1,000 U.S. workers in March .</p>\n<p>\"After a year of drastic change, many business leaders are eager to restore a sense of normalcy and welcome staff back to the office,\" said Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half. \"But reopening doors will bring new obstacles for companies to navigate. Not all employees will be ready -- or willing -- to return to the workplace, so staying flexible and responsive to their needs will be critical.\"</p>\n<p>Nearly nine in 10 employees (89%) say they want to be allowed to work remotely some or all of the time, according to a survey of almost 209,000 people in 190 countries by Boston Consulting Group and The Network.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>How tech companies are bringing workers back to the office: Slowly and with 'social' incentives</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\">\nHow tech companies are bringing workers back to the office: Slowly and with 'social' incentives\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-06-13 04:47</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>'The claims that \"the office is dead\" are over-hyped,' Twilio executive says.

'The truth is that the reasons people come into the physical office are changing.'\nAs they return to work, employees of website platform Contentful Inc. are getting an eyeful of their new offices in Berlin and Denver and a realigned headquarters in San Francisco, which include hallmarks of the post-pandemic workplace -- a theater in Berlin and group rooms in San Francisco that are devoted to interactive meetings, with kitchen space doubled.\n\"We think the office is a social place first,\" Contentful Chief Executive Steve Sloan told MarketWatch. \"The office is where the great ideas are hatched -- especially in an idea-centric economy.\"\nMillions of tech workers are slowly making the migration back to offices as millions become fully vaccinated and states lift restrictions. At Contentful, all 550 employees, including Sloan, will continue to work from home most of the time, and occasionally venture into the office for socializing and collaboration.\nBut many of those returning may not recognize the new digs, which are largely being designed to foster a nexus of ideas shared in theater-like settings and socially-distanced conference rooms, with specialized break-out areas for brainstorming and socializing. Workers will need to get used to the new office lingo of dynamic spaces and hoteling.\n\"It's about going into the tunnel, and coming out of the tunnel,\" VMware Chief Operating Officer Sanjay Poonen told MarketWatch, about a conservative return to the office. \"This is sort of like a traffic jam -- you slow down, and then gradually regain speed. We will get back to normalcy.\"\nTech companies -- among the first to ask employees to work from home during the pandemic -- are leading the return to the office by the fall. Their reopening plans offer a glimpse into office life of the next few years, with a heavy emphasis on a hybrid work model and three-day work weeks onsite, as well as no vaccine requirements.

After more than a century, it remains <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the most widely followed indexes, even if it's inherently flawed.</p>\n<p>The reason the Dow Jones is followed so closely has to do with the 30 high-caliber companies that make up the index. These diverse companies are profitable, time-tested industry leaders. In other words, these are stocks that tend to increase in value over time.</p>\n<p>As we move headlong into June, three Dow stocks stand out as particularly intriguing values that can be bought hand over fist by patient investors.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/789196b3d59ea758b03121ea67790d5a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Microsoft</h2>\n<p>Although the Dow comprises companies from a variety of sectors, tech stocks stand out from the pack this month. Perhaps no Dow component is more of a screaming buy right now than <b>Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT).</p>\n<p>I know what you're probably thinking: \"Microsoft is lugging around a $1.85 trillion market cap. What sort of upside can it really offer?\" While the rule of big numbers would seemingly not be in Old Softy's favor, we're talking about a $1.85 trillion company that's consistently growing by a double-digit percentage every single year.</p>\n<p>Microsoft's secret sauce for success is the company's focus on high-margin cloud-based services and subscriptions, as well as its inorganic growth potential. In terms of the former, Microsoft is delivering double-digit growth almost across the board. Cloud infrastructure services platform Azure has been the star, with year-over-year sales growth of 50% in Microsoft's March-ended quarter. But it also delivered double-digit cloud segment growth from its Office Commercial, Dynamics, and Windows Commercial segments.</p>\n<p>In terms of inorganic growth, Microsoft is able to take far more chances than most companies, as exemplified by its deal announced in April to buy <b>Nuance Communications</b> for $19.7 billion. Microsoft is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of only two public companies to hold the AAA credit rating with Standard &amp; Poor's, it generated $72.7 billion in operating cash flow over just the trailing 12 months, and it has $125 billion in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. Even if only a handful of Microsoft's acquisitions are winners, that's more than enough to broaden its sales channels and bring in an array of new customers.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f1ea3983e1264aeed07ba6fa0fd0be26\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a>.</span></p>\n<h2>IBM</h2>\n<p>Your eyes are not deceiving you. This really says <b>IBM</b> (NYSE:IBM), which is one of the most chronically underperforming tech stocks over the past decade.</p>\n<p>The big issue with IBM is that it was late to the party in making the transition to cloud computing. Being weighed down by its legacy software, IBM has seen its year-over-year sales decline in virtually every quarter over the past seven years. With conditions perfect for high-growth stocks to thrive, IBM has simply been an afterthought in the tech space.</p>\n<p>But times are changing, and IBM is finally keeping up. Through a combination of organic innovation and acquisitions, such as Red Hat, the percentage of revenue derived from the cloud has been rising considerably in recent years. In the March-ended quarter, IBM generated $6.5 billion in aggregate cloud revenue, which was up 21% from the previous year. This $6.5 billion accounted for approximately 37% of total sales. That's important for one big reason: Cloud and cognitive software profit margin was 76% in the first quarter, whereas its legacy segments offer profit margins of around 30%. These higher profit margins will allow IBM's cash flow to grow at a faster pace than its sales.</p>\n<p>However, it should be noted that IBM has done a pretty good job with a tough situation. It has aggressively reduced costs in its legacy divisions to boost margins and generate ample cash flow. This is allowing IBM to reduce its debt and pay a hearty 4.5% yield.</p>\n<p>IBM has taken close to a decade to reinvent itself, but it looks to have finally crested the hill. That gives long-term investors the green light to jump back into the highly profitable Big Blue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72753f29fd92e186bec3ea1c1d331f6b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"510\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></b></p>\n<p>The third Dow stock to buy hand over fist in June is a company I've been pounding the table on all year long: <b>salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM).</p>\n<p>Salesforce provides cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software. In simple terms, CRM software helps consumer-facing businesses access information in real time. It can be used for logging client information, following up on service issues, managing online marketing campaigns, and predictive analysis of customer buying habits. It's software that makes obvious sense for retailers and hotels, for example, but is catching on big-time in the healthcare, financial, and industrial sectors.</p>\n<p>When it comes to CRM software, Salesforce sits atop the mountain. According to IDC estimates from the first half of 2020, Salesforce controlled almost 20% of global CRM revenue share. This was approximately four times higher than the next-closest competitor, and it's more than the Nos. 2 through 5, combined.</p>\n<p>Salesforce is growing inorganically, too.

After more than a century, it remains one of the most widely followed indexes, even if it's inherently flawed.\nThe reason the Dow Jones is followed so closely has to do with the 30 high-caliber companies that make up the index. These diverse companies are profitable, time-tested industry leaders. In other words, these are stocks that tend to increase in value over time.\nAs we move headlong into June, three Dow stocks stand out as particularly intriguing values that can be bought hand over fist by patient investors.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMicrosoft\nAlthough the Dow comprises companies from a variety of sectors, tech stocks stand out from the pack this month. Perhaps no Dow component is more of a screaming buy right now than Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT).\nI know what you're probably thinking: \"Microsoft is lugging around a $1.85 trillion market cap. What sort of upside can it really offer?\" While the rule of big numbers would seemingly not be in Old Softy's favor, we're talking about a $1.85 trillion company that's consistently growing by a double-digit percentage every single year.\nMicrosoft's secret sauce for success is the company's focus on high-margin cloud-based services and subscriptions, as well as its inorganic growth potential. In terms of the former, Microsoft is delivering double-digit growth almost across the board. Cloud infrastructure services platform Azure has been the star, with year-over-year sales growth of 50% in Microsoft's March-ended quarter. But it also delivered double-digit cloud segment growth from its Office Commercial, Dynamics, and Windows Commercial segments.\nIn terms of inorganic growth, Microsoft is able to take far more chances than most companies, as exemplified by its deal announced in April to buy Nuance Communications for $19.7 billion. Microsoft is one of only two public companies to hold the AAA credit rating with Standard & Poor's, it generated $72.7 billion in operating cash flow over just the trailing 12 months, and it has $125 billion in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. Even if only a handful of Microsoft's acquisitions are winners, that's more than enough to broaden its sales channels and bring in an array of new customers.\nImage source: IBM.\nIBM\nYour eyes are not deceiving you. This really says IBM (NYSE:IBM), which is one of the most chronically underperforming tech stocks over the past decade.\nThe big issue with IBM is that it was late to the party in making the transition to cloud computing. Being weighed down by its legacy software, IBM has seen its year-over-year sales decline in virtually every quarter over the past seven years. With conditions perfect for high-growth stocks to thrive, IBM has simply been an afterthought in the tech space.\nBut times are changing, and IBM is finally keeping up. Through a combination of organic innovation and acquisitions, such as Red Hat, the percentage of revenue derived from the cloud has been rising considerably in recent years. In the March-ended quarter, IBM generated $6.5 billion in aggregate cloud revenue, which was up 21% from the previous year. This $6.5 billion accounted for approximately 37% of total sales. That's important for one big reason: Cloud and cognitive software profit margin was 76% in the first quarter, whereas its legacy segments offer profit margins of around 30%. These higher profit margins will allow IBM's cash flow to grow at a faster pace than its sales.\nHowever, it should be noted that IBM has done a pretty good job with a tough situation. It has aggressively reduced costs in its legacy divisions to boost margins and generate ample cash flow. This is allowing IBM to reduce its debt and pay a hearty 4.5% yield.\nIBM has taken close to a decade to reinvent itself, but it looks to have finally crested the hill. That gives long-term investors the green light to jump back into the highly profitable Big Blue.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSalesforce\nThe third Dow stock to buy hand over fist in June is a company I've been pounding the table on all year long: salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM).\nSalesforce provides cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software. In simple terms, CRM software helps consumer-facing businesses access information in real time. It can be used for logging client information, following up on service issues, managing online marketing campaigns, and predictive analysis of customer buying habits. It's software that makes obvious sense for retailers and hotels, for example, but is catching on big-time in the healthcare, financial, and industrial sectors.\nWhen it comes to CRM software, Salesforce sits atop the mountain. According to IDC estimates from the first half of 2020, Salesforce controlled almost 20% of global CRM revenue share. This was approximately four times higher than the next-closest competitor, and it's more than the Nos. 2 through 5, combined.\nSalesforce is growing inorganically, too. After a number of masterful acquisitions (e.g., Tableau and Mulesoft), the company is in the midst of acquiring cloud-based enterprise communications platform Slack Technologies in a $27.7 billion cash-and-stock deal. Though Slack's platform will add a new channel of high-margin subscription services, the true value is in being able to cross-sell CRM solutions to Slack's small and medium-size client base.\nWith Salesforce on track to hit $50 billion in annual sales in five years (it yielded $21.3 billion in sales last year), it remains one of the most-exciting mega-cap growth stocks to own.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112202490,"gmtCreate":1622870696710,"gmtModify":1634097163904,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward all","listText":"Looking forward all","text":"Looking forward all","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/112202490","repostId":"1158897173","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":146,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":116520516,"gmtCreate":1622812868235,"gmtModify":1634097777389,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What will be a good price to buy and keep for long term?&nbsp;I wonder.","listText":"What will be a good price to buy and keep for long term?&nbsp;I wonder.","text":"What will be a good price to buy and keep for long term?

Over the next decade, its growth may not be the same, however. Yet, thanks to massive shareholder return programs and a move towards services, Apple's stock will likely still be significantly higher a decade from now - even though the current valuation is rather high.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Over the last decade, Apple Inc. has been a great investment:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d29aa34bdbc5bab7d0730a4095954e6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares have returned 900% in those ten years, before dividends, for a compounded annual return of approximately 26%, easily trouncing the returns of the broad market during that time frame. Importantly, shares have risen a lot more than the company's market capitalization, which grew by only 550% over the last decade. The difference can be explained by the company's large share repurchase programs, which have lowered the share count drastically over the last decade. The last decade, of course, was a highly successful period for Apple on a business basis, as the company benefited from the rise of smartphones while also having success with new products such as its Watch and tablets, which Apple more or less introduced as a new product category. Right now, shares trade for $125, up 57% over the last twelve months, but down 6% in 2021 to date. Following strong gains during 2020, shares seem to be in a consolidation pattern for now, which is not too much of a surprise, as Apple's valuation had expanded a lot in the recent past, and it seems that the company's business growth has to catch up to the recent share price increases now. The current consensus price target is $156, which implies an upside potential of 25%. Since there are no signs of shares leaving their current trading range right now, I personally do not think that Apple will breach $150 in the near term.</p>\n<p><b>Where Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years</b></p>\n<p>Apple's stock price in 2031 is, of course, nothing that can be forecasted with any precision. As history has shown, again and again, it is not even possible to forecast share prices precisely over a much shorter period of time. It is, however, possible to craft scenarios to see where share prices could be in the future under certain conditions, to get a feel for what might be a reasonable expectation for the future.</p>\n<p>To craft one such scenario, we have to consider Apple's business growth, Apple's shareholder return program, and the valuation multiple that shares might trade at in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Apple's business growth</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. has seen years of stronger growth and years of weaker growth in the past. This mostly can be explained by factors such as new product introductions, e.g. Watch or iPad, and by the strength of the respective current iPhone models, which see varying demand depending on the year. Other factors, such as economic growth or trade issues, play a role as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5b8bd8ef6cdaa13850c1380e870554c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Overall, revenues have grown by 154% over the last decade, but as we see in the above chart, revenue growth has been relatively uneven. During the early 2010s, Apple generated massive growth on the back of the iPhones \"road to victory\", whereas revenue growth declined to a much slower pace in the following years. There were even some years during which revenues declined on a year-over-year basis, such as 2016. The average annual revenue growth pace was 10% over the last decade, but when we factor in that this was lifted up by the very strong growth in 2011 and 2012, it may not be too reasonable to assume that Apple will grow by 10% a year in the future, too. Investors should also consider that maintaining a high growth rate becomes ever more difficult the larger a company gets. This does, however, not mean that Apple's revenue growth will slow down to zero.</p>\n<p>On the back of price increases for its products and the potential for market share gains in&nbsp;high-growth countries such as China, where more and more people will be able to buy Apple's higher-priced products, it seems reasonable to assume that Apple will generate at least some growth from its core businesses. Add in growth in the services segment - people use their phones more and more, which should lead to higher app spending - and consider the potential for new product launches (although I assume none will be as massive as the iPhone), and Apple should be able to grow its business at a solid pace. I personally assume that a 5%-7% revenue growth rate could be a realistic estimate for the coming years, although some readers will of course have different opinions.</p>\n<p><b>Apple's shareholder returns</b></p>\n<p>Apple has lowered its share count massively in the past, as shown above, and it is, I believe, reasonable to assume that the same will happen going forward. Over the last decade, Apple bought back 36% of its shares. If the same were to happen over the next decade, each remaining share's portion of the company's value would rise by 56%, or 4.6% annualized. Due to the fact that Apple's current valuation is significantly higher than its historic valuation, buybacks could be less impactful in the future, though. Apple has, for example, only reduced its share count by 2.6% over the last year.</p>\n<p>This is why I believe that the share count will not decline by another 36% over the coming decade. When we adjust that downward to 25%, this would result in a ~3% annual tailwind for Apple's growth when we look at per-share metrics, which are the deciding factor for Apple's share price growth. Combined with my 5%-7% business growth estimate, I thus assume that Apple will grow by 8%-10% on a per-share basis in the long term.</p>\n<p><b>Apple's future valuation</b></p>\n<p>AAPL has been valued in a very wide range in the past, seeing its shares trade for very low multiples at some points, whereas investors were willing to pay significantly more at other times:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be5cb8bbc04ff0e0a13ee64f6f2bd90a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"470\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares could, five years ago, be bought for a very low 10x net earnings, which naturally was a great time to enter or expand positions. In late 2020, however, shares were trading for as much as 40x the company's net earnings, which seems like a quite high valuation. Right now, AAPL trades at 28x trailing earnings, and at around 24x forward profits. In the above chart, we also see the median earnings multiples over the last 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. It is pretty clear that Apple's valuation has expanded over the years, which is why the median values are higher for the shorter \"lookback\" periods. I do not believe that AAPL will trade at the 15.5x net earnings that it has traded at, on average, over the last decade, as this seems like a rather low valuation for a quality company like Apple with a strong brand, massive scale, great margins, and a fortress balance sheet. On the other hand, I also don't believe that Apple will trade at a 24-28x earnings multiple forever - for a company that generates solid but unspectacular business growth in the mid-single-digits, that seems quite expensive. This is especially true when we consider that interest rates will likely be higher a decade from now, which should pressure valuations for all equities, all else equal. I thus believe that a valuation of around 20x net earnings could be a reasonable estimate for 2031, which would be more or less in line with the 3-year median earnings multiple.</p>\n<p><b>Is AAPL A Buy Or Sell Now</b></p>\n<p>Starting our calculation with an EPS estimate of $5.15 for 2021 and assuming that this will grow by 7%-10% a year through 2031, we reach an EPS range of $10.10 to $13.40. Putting a 20x earnings multiple on that leads to a target price of around $200-$270/share. At the midpoint of around $235, shares would thus see gains of around 90% from the current level, or around 6.5% annualized. That surely is not a bad return, and when we add in the dividend, we would get to an annualized return of roughly 7%. This is, on the other hand, also not an outrageously great return, I believe.</p>\n<p>AAPL has, I believe, significant upside potential over the next decade, but that should not be a large surprise - many companies will see significant growth over a time span this long. I personally am not too excited about a 7% expected long-term return. When we consider that shares do have considerable downside risk in the next 1-3 years if Apple's valuation declines, e.g. due to rising interest rates, it may be a better choice to stay on the sidelines for now. Long-term investors will likely not do badly when they buy shares at current levels, but they will likely also not do great. For now, I'd rate Apple a hold, and a potential buy if its valuation comes closer to the longer-term average.

Over the next decade, its growth may not be the same, however. Yet, thanks to massive shareholder return programs and a move towards services, Apple's stock will likely still be significantly higher a decade from now - even though the current valuation is rather high.\nApple Stock Price\nOver the last decade, Apple Inc. has been a great investment:\nData by YCharts\nShares have returned 900% in those ten years, before dividends, for a compounded annual return of approximately 26%, easily trouncing the returns of the broad market during that time frame. Importantly, shares have risen a lot more than the company's market capitalization, which grew by only 550% over the last decade. The difference can be explained by the company's large share repurchase programs, which have lowered the share count drastically over the last decade. The last decade, of course, was a highly successful period for Apple on a business basis, as the company benefited from the rise of smartphones while also having success with new products such as its Watch and tablets, which Apple more or less introduced as a new product category. Right now, shares trade for $125, up 57% over the last twelve months, but down 6% in 2021 to date. Following strong gains during 2020, shares seem to be in a consolidation pattern for now, which is not too much of a surprise, as Apple's valuation had expanded a lot in the recent past, and it seems that the company's business growth has to catch up to the recent share price increases now. The current consensus price target is $156, which implies an upside potential of 25%. Since there are no signs of shares leaving their current trading range right now, I personally do not think that Apple will breach $150 in the near term.\nWhere Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years\nApple's stock price in 2031 is, of course, nothing that can be forecasted with any precision. As history has shown, again and again, it is not even possible to forecast share prices precisely over a much shorter period of time. It is, however, possible to craft scenarios to see where share prices could be in the future under certain conditions, to get a feel for what might be a reasonable expectation for the future.\nTo craft one such scenario, we have to consider Apple's business growth, Apple's shareholder return program, and the valuation multiple that shares might trade at in the future.\nApple's business growth\nApple Inc. has seen years of stronger growth and years of weaker growth in the past. This mostly can be explained by factors such as new product introductions, e.g. Watch or iPad, and by the strength of the respective current iPhone models, which see varying demand depending on the year. Other factors, such as economic growth or trade issues, play a role as well.\nData by YCharts\nOverall, revenues have grown by 154% over the last decade, but as we see in the above chart, revenue growth has been relatively uneven. During the early 2010s, Apple generated massive growth on the back of the iPhones \"road to victory\", whereas revenue growth declined to a much slower pace in the following years. There were even some years during which revenues declined on a year-over-year basis, such as 2016. The average annual revenue growth pace was 10% over the last decade, but when we factor in that this was lifted up by the very strong growth in 2011 and 2012, it may not be too reasonable to assume that Apple will grow by 10% a year in the future, too. Investors should also consider that maintaining a high growth rate becomes ever more difficult the larger a company gets. This does, however, not mean that Apple's revenue growth will slow down to zero.\nOn the back of price increases for its products and the potential for market share gains in high-growth countries such as China, where more and more people will be able to buy Apple's higher-priced products, it seems reasonable to assume that Apple will generate at least some growth from its core businesses. Add in growth in the services segment - people use their phones more and more, which should lead to higher app spending - and consider the potential for new product launches (although I assume none will be as massive as the iPhone), and Apple should be able to grow its business at a solid pace. I personally assume that a 5%-7% revenue growth rate could be a realistic estimate for the coming years, although some readers will of course have different opinions.\nApple's shareholder returns\nApple has lowered its share count massively in the past, as shown above, and it is, I believe, reasonable to assume that the same will happen going forward. Over the last decade, Apple bought back 36% of its shares. If the same were to happen over the next decade, each remaining share's portion of the company's value would rise by 56%, or 4.6% annualized. Due to the fact that Apple's current valuation is significantly higher than its historic valuation, buybacks could be less impactful in the future, though. Apple has, for example, only reduced its share count by 2.6% over the last year.\nThis is why I believe that the share count will not decline by another 36% over the coming decade. When we adjust that downward to 25%, this would result in a ~3% annual tailwind for Apple's growth when we look at per-share metrics, which are the deciding factor for Apple's share price growth. Combined with my 5%-7% business growth estimate, I thus assume that Apple will grow by 8%-10% on a per-share basis in the long term.\nApple's future valuation\nAAPL has been valued in a very wide range in the past, seeing its shares trade for very low multiples at some points, whereas investors were willing to pay significantly more at other times:\nData by YCharts\nShares could, five years ago, be bought for a very low 10x net earnings, which naturally was a great time to enter or expand positions. In late 2020, however, shares were trading for as much as 40x the company's net earnings, which seems like a quite high valuation. Right now, AAPL trades at 28x trailing earnings, and at around 24x forward profits. In the above chart, we also see the median earnings multiples over the last 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. It is pretty clear that Apple's valuation has expanded over the years, which is why the median values are higher for the shorter \"lookback\" periods. I do not believe that AAPL will trade at the 15.5x net earnings that it has traded at, on average, over the last decade, as this seems like a rather low valuation for a quality company like Apple with a strong brand, massive scale, great margins, and a fortress balance sheet. On the other hand, I also don't believe that Apple will trade at a 24-28x earnings multiple forever - for a company that generates solid but unspectacular business growth in the mid-single-digits, that seems quite expensive. This is especially true when we consider that interest rates will likely be higher a decade from now, which should pressure valuations for all equities, all else equal. I thus believe that a valuation of around 20x net earnings could be a reasonable estimate for 2031, which would be more or less in line with the 3-year median earnings multiple.\nIs AAPL A Buy Or Sell Now\nStarting our calculation with an EPS estimate of $5.15 for 2021 and assuming that this will grow by 7%-10% a year through 2031, we reach an EPS range of $10.10 to $13.40. Putting a 20x earnings multiple on that leads to a target price of around $200-$270/share. At the midpoint of around $235, shares would thus see gains of around 90% from the current level, or around 6.5% annualized. That surely is not a bad return, and when we add in the dividend, we would get to an annualized return of roughly 7%. This is, on the other hand, also not an outrageously great return, I believe.\nAAPL has, I believe, significant upside potential over the next decade, but that should not be a large surprise - many companies will see significant growth over a time span this long. I personally am not too excited about a 7% expected long-term return. When we consider that shares do have considerable downside risk in the next 1-3 years if Apple's valuation declines, e.g. due to rising interest rates, it may be a better choice to stay on the sidelines for now. Long-term investors will likely not do badly when they buy shares at current levels, but they will likely also not do great. For now, I'd rate Apple a hold, and a potential buy if its valuation comes closer to the longer-term average. Those that are more optimistic about new product launches may disagree and favor buying here, but it could turn out that waiting for a better opportunity is the best choice here.\nSumming it up, I'd say shares do have significant upside potential over the next decade, but the upside potential is not large enough to make me buy shares at current, elevated, valuations.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111073445,"gmtCreate":1622646581587,"gmtModify":1631888362221,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agree with recommend","listText":"Agree with recommend","text":"Agree with recommend","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/111073445","repostId":"2140419846","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140419846","pubTimestamp":1622633113,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2140419846?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-02 19:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Ultra-Popular Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague in June","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140419846","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Hype-driven companies and penny stocks are rarely, if ever, a smart place to put your money to work.","content":"<p>Time and again, the stock market has demonstrated that it rewards patience. Despite the quickest drawdown of at least 30% in the broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s storied history last year, investors who trusted in their investment theses have been handsomely rewarded. Over the trailing year, 910 stocks with a market cap of at least $300 million have doubled in value, with 62 of those stocks up by more than 500%.</p>\n<p>While it's great to see the U.S. economy getting back on track, some of the most popular stocks investors are buying are downright awful businesses. Even with things looking up for the market as a whole, the following five ultra-popular stocks should be avoided like the plague in June.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b2e6f5c48ac79126a7c69a95b9659ed\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>AMC Entertainment</h2>\n<p>There's absolutely no question that the No. 1 stock to avoid like the plague in June is movie theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC). It's far and away the most disassociated stock from its underlying business.</p>\n<p>As most folks probably know by now, retail traders from Reddit, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a></b>, and other social media platforms have banded together to buy shares and call options in AMC, which is a fairly heavily short-sold stock. Their goal being to effect a short squeeze -- i.e., an event where pessimists (short-sellers) feel trapped in their positions and run for the exit at once. Short squeezes are very short-term events and they have a very poor track record of success.</p>\n<p>While I have a laundry list of issues with the basis for this trade, perhaps the single biggest is that retail traders are willingly ignoring AMC's dumpster fire of an income statement and balance sheet. This is a company that almost certainly won't be capable of paying back its debts when they come due by or before 2026. It's also now been hamstrung by the same retail investors who claimed to want to \"save AMC.\" That's because AMC has maxed out how many shares it's authorized to issue, and can therefore not take advantage of higher prices with a capital raise. The May proxy vote would have allowed AMC to take advantage of this recent spike, but shortsightedness from retail traders killed that idea.</p>\n<p>The AMC bull thesis is also built on a monument of misinformation. For example, retail traders believe hedge funds can bankrupt companies, when it's the operating performance and actions of businesses that determine whether or not they succeed or fail.</p>\n<p>Suffice it to say, the willful ignorance of concrete data in AMC's income statements and balance sheets will come back to haunt these traders.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b574bce2f4c87731881bf278bde1070\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Marathon Digital Holdings</h2>\n<p>June would also be a very good time to say goodbye to a number <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC) stocks. Cryptocurrency miner <b>Marathon Digital Holdings</b> (NASDAQ:MARA) may well top that list.</p>\n<p>As I've been previously stated, I'm not a fan of Bitcoin. Although it's the largest digital currency in the world by market value, it's been stuck at handling a meager 300,000 transactions daily for more than a year and is accepted by approximately 15,200 businesses worldwide. That's nothing when you consider that there an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs around the globe.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin is also prone to long-winded downtrends. Over the past decade, the top cryptocurrency has lost at least 80% of its value on three separate occasions. That's bad news for Marathon for two key reasons. First, Marathon Digital mines Bitcoin, and is therefore reliant on higher prices to increase its revenue. It's not even clear if Marathon's mining operations would be sustainable if Bitcoin, once again, declines by more than 80% from its high of nearly $65,000.</p>\n<p>The other issue is that Marathon purchased $150 million in Bitcoin earlier this year. While still up slightly on its investment, a protracted move lower in Bitcoin threatens to wipe out a good chunk of Marathon Digital's assets.</p>\n<p>I've said it before and I'll say it again: Crypto mining stocks are the worst way to invest in Bitcoin.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/084d89ada48e3614d1b0f7ca9fd0aa9c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Sundial Growers</h2>\n<p>Following its late-May rally, <b>Sundial Growers</b> (NASDAQ:SNDL) has once more emerged as the top marijuana stock to avoid, as well as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the worst stocks to buy, as a whole.</p>\n<p>While marijuana is an intriguing place to put your money to work over the next five to 10 years, Canadian pot stock Sundial has consistently underperformed its peers and done nothing to build shareholder value.</p>\n<p>In an effort to rid its balance sheet of debt, the company's management team began selling stock in October 2020... and it just hasn't stopped. Sundial has built up a cash hoard of 1.08 billion Canadian (about $894 million U.S.), but has done so by issuing more than 1.35 billion shares of stock in eight months. As of May 7, the company had 1.86 billion shares outstanding -- and this figure is likely to go higher with an $800 million at-the-market share offering approved earlier this year. Sundial is building up cash with no particular purpose in mind and drowning its shareholders in the process.</p>\n<p>With 1.86 billion shares outstanding, Sundial has virtually no chance of ever producing meaningful earnings per share, and it may not be able to get back above $1 per share on a consistent basis. It'll likely have to follow in the footsteps of serial diluter <b>Aurora Cannabis</b>&nbsp;and reverse split to get its share price to a respectable level.</p>\n<p>As the icing on the cake, legal pot sales in Canada have grown significantly, while Sundial's marijuana sales have been slashed by a double-digit percentage. It's not where you want to put your money to work in the high-growth cannabis space.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2d8206c20bde46bd072cf7ee8a50b2c5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Castor Maritime</h2>\n<p>As a general rule, penny stocks are penny stocks for a good reason. A company that consistently has a very low share price probably has an untested operating model, is losing money, and isn't creating value for its shareholders. This pretty much sums up <b>Castor Maritime </b>(NASDAQ:CTRM).</p>\n<p>On paper, the operating model doesn't sound awful. Castor buys vessels capable of transporting dry bulk goods, such as grains, fertilizer, sugar, and steel. If the U.S. and global economy are rebounding from their pandemic lows, demand for dry bulk goods and daily charter rates should increase over time. Pretty straightforward, right?</p>\n<p>The problem is that Castor Maritime didn't have the fleet or the finances to take advantage of this rebound. To compensate, it's been selling shares of its stock like it's going out of style to raise capital to buy new vessels. Castor ended 2020 with six ships but it now owns 26, when all are fully delivered. But it's the company's shareholders who paid the price for this shopping spree. Castor's share count has risen from 3.3 million shares on Dec. 31, 2019 to about 900 million (both figures are pre-split).</p>\n<p>However, last month the company had to enact a 1-for-10 reverse split to simply remain listed on the <b>Nasdaq</b>&nbsp;exchange. Issuing so many shares pushed Castor's share price below $0.40, and a $1 minimum share price is required for continued listing.</p>\n<p>We've witnessed this same dilute and reverse-split story time and again in the shipping space. Castor is no different, which is why it should be avoided.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F629029%2Ffather-son-video-game-controller-console-gamestop-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>GameStop</h2>\n<p>Since we began with a Reddit pump-and-dump stock (AMC), it's only fitting that we end with another hype-driven Reddit stock: video game and accessories retailer <b>GameStop</b> (NYSE:GME).</p>\n<p>Retail traders have flocked to GameStop for the exact same reason as AMC. GameStop had a larger percentage of its float held short than any other publicly traded company in January. This made it the ideal candidate for a short squeeze. Unfortunately, it's also spurred retail investors to now hone in on short interest data and absolutely nothing else about the companies they're buying.</p>\n<p>To be clear, GameStop is a much, <i>much</i> better and more financially sound company than AMC. A recent share offering helped raise $551 million in gross proceeds, which means GameStop has wiped out its debt and has more than enough cash to move forward with its digital transformation. In fact, all of these avoidable stocks are likely OK on the liquidity front for the next three to five years... except AMC.</p>\n<p>Where GameStop gets into trouble is if you dig into its operating performance. It's always been a brick-and-mortar-focused company. This worked well for two decades, but is problematic now that gaming has gone digital.

Despite the quickest drawdown of at least 30% in the broad-based S&P 500's storied history last year, investors who trusted in their investment theses have been handsomely rewarded. Over the trailing year, 910 stocks with a market cap of at least $300 million have doubled in value, with 62 of those stocks up by more than 500%.\nWhile it's great to see the U.S. economy getting back on track, some of the most popular stocks investors are buying are downright awful businesses. Even with things looking up for the market as a whole, the following five ultra-popular stocks should be avoided like the plague in June.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAMC Entertainment\nThere's absolutely no question that the No. 1 stock to avoid like the plague in June is movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). It's far and away the most disassociated stock from its underlying business.\nAs most folks probably know by now, retail traders from Reddit, Twitter, and other social media platforms have banded together to buy shares and call options in AMC, which is a fairly heavily short-sold stock. Their goal being to effect a short squeeze -- i.e., an event where pessimists (short-sellers) feel trapped in their positions and run for the exit at once. Short squeezes are very short-term events and they have a very poor track record of success.\nWhile I have a laundry list of issues with the basis for this trade, perhaps the single biggest is that retail traders are willingly ignoring AMC's dumpster fire of an income statement and balance sheet. This is a company that almost certainly won't be capable of paying back its debts when they come due by or before 2026. It's also now been hamstrung by the same retail investors who claimed to want to \"save AMC.\" That's because AMC has maxed out how many shares it's authorized to issue, and can therefore not take advantage of higher prices with a capital raise. The May proxy vote would have allowed AMC to take advantage of this recent spike, but shortsightedness from retail traders killed that idea.\nThe AMC bull thesis is also built on a monument of misinformation. For example, retail traders believe hedge funds can bankrupt companies, when it's the operating performance and actions of businesses that determine whether or not they succeed or fail.\nSuffice it to say, the willful ignorance of concrete data in AMC's income statements and balance sheets will come back to haunt these traders.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMarathon Digital Holdings\nJune would also be a very good time to say goodbye to a number Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) stocks. Cryptocurrency miner Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) may well top that list.\nAs I've been previously stated, I'm not a fan of Bitcoin. Although it's the largest digital currency in the world by market value, it's been stuck at handling a meager 300,000 transactions daily for more than a year and is accepted by approximately 15,200 businesses worldwide. That's nothing when you consider that there an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs around the globe.\nBitcoin is also prone to long-winded downtrends. Over the past decade, the top cryptocurrency has lost at least 80% of its value on three separate occasions. That's bad news for Marathon for two key reasons. First, Marathon Digital mines Bitcoin, and is therefore reliant on higher prices to increase its revenue. It's not even clear if Marathon's mining operations would be sustainable if Bitcoin, once again, declines by more than 80% from its high of nearly $65,000.\nThe other issue is that Marathon purchased $150 million in Bitcoin earlier this year. While still up slightly on its investment, a protracted move lower in Bitcoin threatens to wipe out a good chunk of Marathon Digital's assets.\nI've said it before and I'll say it again: Crypto mining stocks are the worst way to invest in Bitcoin.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSundial Growers\nFollowing its late-May rally, Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) has once more emerged as the top marijuana stock to avoid, as well as one of the worst stocks to buy, as a whole.\nWhile marijuana is an intriguing place to put your money to work over the next five to 10 years, Canadian pot stock Sundial has consistently underperformed its peers and done nothing to build shareholder value.\nIn an effort to rid its balance sheet of debt, the company's management team began selling stock in October 2020... and it just hasn't stopped. Sundial has built up a cash hoard of 1.08 billion Canadian (about $894 million U.S.), but has done so by issuing more than 1.35 billion shares of stock in eight months. As of May 7, the company had 1.86 billion shares outstanding -- and this figure is likely to go higher with an $800 million at-the-market share offering approved earlier this year. Sundial is building up cash with no particular purpose in mind and drowning its shareholders in the process.\nWith 1.86 billion shares outstanding, Sundial has virtually no chance of ever producing meaningful earnings per share, and it may not be able to get back above $1 per share on a consistent basis. It'll likely have to follow in the footsteps of serial diluter Aurora Cannabis and reverse split to get its share price to a respectable level.\nAs the icing on the cake, legal pot sales in Canada have grown significantly, while Sundial's marijuana sales have been slashed by a double-digit percentage. It's not where you want to put your money to work in the high-growth cannabis space.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nCastor Maritime\nAs a general rule, penny stocks are penny stocks for a good reason. A company that consistently has a very low share price probably has an untested operating model, is losing money, and isn't creating value for its shareholders. This pretty much sums up Castor Maritime (NASDAQ:CTRM).\nOn paper, the operating model doesn't sound awful. Castor buys vessels capable of transporting dry bulk goods, such as grains, fertilizer, sugar, and steel. If the U.S. and global economy are rebounding from their pandemic lows, demand for dry bulk goods and daily charter rates should increase over time. Pretty straightforward, right?\nThe problem is that Castor Maritime didn't have the fleet or the finances to take advantage of this rebound. To compensate, it's been selling shares of its stock like it's going out of style to raise capital to buy new vessels. Castor ended 2020 with six ships but it now owns 26, when all are fully delivered. But it's the company's shareholders who paid the price for this shopping spree. Castor's share count has risen from 3.3 million shares on Dec. 31, 2019 to about 900 million (both figures are pre-split).\nHowever, last month the company had to enact a 1-for-10 reverse split to simply remain listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Issuing so many shares pushed Castor's share price below $0.40, and a $1 minimum share price is required for continued listing.\nWe've witnessed this same dilute and reverse-split story time and again in the shipping space. Castor is no different, which is why it should be avoided.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nGameStop\nSince we began with a Reddit pump-and-dump stock (AMC), it's only fitting that we end with another hype-driven Reddit stock: video game and accessories retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME).\nRetail traders have flocked to GameStop for the exact same reason as AMC. GameStop had a larger percentage of its float held short than any other publicly traded company in January. This made it the ideal candidate for a short squeeze. Unfortunately, it's also spurred retail investors to now hone in on short interest data and absolutely nothing else about the companies they're buying.\nTo be clear, GameStop is a much, much better and more financially sound company than AMC. A recent share offering helped raise $551 million in gross proceeds, which means GameStop has wiped out its debt and has more than enough cash to move forward with its digital transformation. In fact, all of these avoidable stocks are likely OK on the liquidity front for the next three to five years... except AMC.\nWhere GameStop gets into trouble is if you dig into its operating performance. It's always been a brick-and-mortar-focused company. This worked well for two decades, but is problematic now that gaming has gone digital. Even with e-commerce sales up 191% last year, GameStop's total sales declined by more than 21%. In short, sales will be stagnant for years as the company shutters physical locations and invests in digital initiatives. Such challenges certainly don't merit a nearly 1,100% gain on a year-to-date basis.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":177,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119780903,"gmtCreate":1622564662702,"gmtModify":1634100405006,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Expecting good news","listText":"Expecting good news","text":"Expecting good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/119780903","repostId":"2138889344","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138889344","pubTimestamp":1622546894,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138889344?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-01 19:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Zoom Video to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138889344","media":"Zacks","summary":"Zoom Video Communications is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 1.For the quarte","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications</b> is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 1.</p><p>For the quarter, the company expects non-GAAP earnings between 95 cents and 97 cents per share.

This might have led to loss in small and medium business customers, which is likely to have hurt top-line growth.Key Q1 HighlightsDuring the to-be-reported quarter, Zoom announced $100 million venture fund called Zoom Apps Fund, aimed at stimulating growth of Zoom’s ecosystem of Zoom Apps, integrations, developer platform and hardware.Moreover, during the quarter, Zoom and Formula 1 announced that they have entered a new extensive multi-year partnership across the upcoming 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship racing season and beyond.Further, in February, Zoom announced the availability of Zoom Rooms that will help organizations safely re-enter the office and sustain an “everywhere workforce”.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":220,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":110557033,"gmtCreate":1622472133522,"gmtModify":1634101233118,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It should be an worthy long term investment","listText":"It should be an worthy long term investment","text":"It should be an worthy long term investment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/110557033","repostId":"2139872234","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":148,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":134853478,"gmtCreate":1622217022694,"gmtModify":1634182710854,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good progress","listText":"Good progress","text":"Good progress","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/134853478","repostId":"2138488686","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138488686","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":1622212695,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138488686?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-28 22:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EU regulator endorses Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138488686","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 28 (Reuters) - Europe's medicines regulator on Friday backed the use of Pfizer's    COVID-19 vac","content":"<p>May 28 (Reuters) - Europe's medicines regulator on Friday backed the use of Pfizer's    COVID-19 vaccine for children as young as 12, paving way for a broader roll-out in the region after similar clearances in the United States and Canada.</p><p>The European Medicines Agency's endorsement comes weeks after it began evaluating extending use of the vaccine, developed with Germany's BioNTech   , to include 12- to 15-year olds.

If approved, it would likely dramatically expand the number of shots available to middle and high school students ahead of the next school year. Pfizer and German partnerBioNTechwere clearedto use their vaccine for 12- to 15-year-olds earlier this month.\"We are encouraged that mRNA-1273 was highly effective at preventing COVID-19 in adolescents,\" Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said in a press release. \"We remain committed to doing our part to help end the COVID-19 pandemic.\"The two-dose vaccine, which is given four weeks apart, is already authorized for adults.The phase 2/3 study the company is citing Tuesday included more than 3,700 adolescents. No cases of Covid were observed in participants who received two doses of the vaccine, while four cases were observed in the placebo group, according to the company.No significant safety concerns have been identified, and side effects generally are consistent with those seen in an earlier trial of adults, the company said. The most common side effects after the second dose were headache, fatigue, muscle pain and chills, Moderna said.The new data comes less than three weeks afterthe company disclosed in an earnings report that early data showed the shot was 96% effective at protecting against Covid in teens ages 12 to 17. That data was based on those who received at least one dose of the vaccine.The company said Tuesday the shot was shown in the trial to be 93% effective after one dose. Because children are less likely to get seriously ill, Moderna used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's definition of Covid-19 to calculate that figure. It requires only one symptom and a positive Covid test.U.S. regulators are expected to grant Moderna's request for use in teens. The approval process could take about a month, just in time for some summer activities and fall classes if Moderna submits the data by early June. Pfizer and BioNTech requested expanded use of their shot in adolescents on April 9, for example, and were authorized by the FDA on May 10.Vaccinating children is seen as crucial to ending the pandemic. The nation is unlikely to achieve herd immunity — when enough people in a given community have antibodies against a specific disease — until children can get vaccinated, health officials and experts say.Children make up around 20% of the total U.S. population, according to government data. Some 70% to 85% of the U.S. population needs to be vaccinated against Covid to achieve herd immunity, medical experts say, and some adults may refuse to get the shots. Though more experts now say herd immunity is looking increasingly unlikely as variants spread.Vaccinating kids may also hasten the return of in-person learning and greenlight after-school extracurricular activities such as sports, art and other in-person activities, health experts say.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":190,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131276081,"gmtCreate":1621865313743,"gmtModify":1634185976607,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tencent","listText":"Tencent","text":"Tencent","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/131276081","repostId":"2137797184","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137797184","pubTimestamp":1621850400,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2137797184?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-24 18:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These 3 Stocks Are Screaming Buys Amid the Tech Selloff","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137797184","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Take advantage of other investors' fears and go shopping when stocks go on sale.","content":"<p>After an epic rise in 2020, tech stocks have hit a rough patch to kick off 2021. Some companies are running into slowdowns in their growth trajectories, as they start to lap the bump in business they got a year ago when the pandemic started.</p><p>That doesn't mean all of these businesses are spent, though. Far from it: Many have incredibly bright outlooks and are screaming buys after getting caught up in the recent sell-off. Right now, three Fool.com contributors think <b>Wix.com</b> (NASDAQ:WIX), <b>Roku</b> (NASDAQ:ROKU), and <b>Naspers</b> (OTC:NPSNY) are worth a look.</p><h3>Building modern websites for small businesses</h3><p><b>Nicholas Rossolillo (Wix.com):</b> Wix turned in a fantastic start to 2021, but many investors chose to focus on the company's decision to stop disclosing specific user and premium subscriber counts (the service reached 200 million registered users worldwide in February, and nearly 5.5 million premium subscribers at the end of 2020). Sometimes a company will stop divulging metrics that no longer paint a favorable picture, but I don't think that's what's going on here. Wix already boasts a massive following, but user-count growth, and more importantly, user activity on Wix services, are already implied by the company's revenue trajectory.</p><p>And on that front, Wix did exceptionally well in the first quarter of 2021. Revenue increased 41% year over year to $304 million, and management said to expect full-year revenue growth of 29% to 30%, to at least $1.28 billion -- building on top of the 30% gain in sales it notched in 2020. Free cash flow (FCF) is anticipated to be just $62 million to $72 million as the company spends to expand its reach in global e-commerce, an FCF profit margin of about 5%. However, Wix was generating FCF margin of nearly 20% last year, pretty good for a high-growth tech company. Eventually, I expect Wix will return to those profitability levels, and when it does, it will be a much larger business than it was before.</p><p>For now, though, Wix is focusing on the tens of millions of small- and midsize-business relationships it has around the world. Recent product launches -- like Editor X for advertising agencies, and Wix integration with <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google, so businesses can manage their web search presence -- will help it deepen those relationships; so will the acquisition of gift-card and store-credit tech outfit Rise.ai. In fact, Wix's aim is to build out easy-to-use e-commerce capabilities to help small businesses -- from local restaurants to event centers to fitness instructors -- have a quality online presence. CEO Avishai Abrahami said on the Q1 earnings call that the goal is to have <i>half of all new web content</i> created on Wix within the next five to seven years.</p><p>The company is already well on its way toward accomplishing its mission. I think Wix stock is a compelling value, after getting sold off because of myopic views on elimination of user-count metrics. Shares trade for under 11 times full-year revenue expectations, the cheapest they've been since the start of the pandemic, even though the company's growth trajectory hasn't lost any steam. I, for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>, am a buyer at these levels.</p><h3>A surefire winner in the media-streaming wars</h3><p><b>Anders Bylund (Roku):</b> Media-streaming technology expert <b>Roku</b> (NASDAQ:ROKU) skyrocketed 148% higher in 2020 but has struggled to maintain that momentum in 2021. These days, the stock is trading more than 30% below January's all-time highs.</p><p>The thing is, Roku's long-term growth story really hasn't changed. The shifting investor attitude is based on broader market trends, not on any flaws in Roku's business plan.</p><p>This company is crushing analyst targets with astonishing consistency. Roku has delivered positive earnings in the last three quarterly reports, when the Street was expecting negative bottom-line results in every case. Revenue exceeded analyst estimates by an average of 15% over the same period, including a 17% outperformance in the recent first-quarter update.</p><p>Roku is often lumped together with other stocks that rose sharply during the 2020 coronavirus lockdowns. The basic assumption is that Roku's business prospects surely will fade once the health crisis is over, setting the stock up for a massive price drop.</p><p>That's a big mistake.

Where do I sign up?</p><h3>A premier large cap at half-price, with a near-term catalyst on the horizon</h3><p><b>Billy Duberstein (Naspers):</b> Chinese internet giant <b>Tencent Holdings</b> (OTC:TCEHY) is down a little more than 20% from its February highs, which is not quite as bad as many software stocks, but still much worse than the FAANG stocks here in the U.S.</p><p>But the really big bargain isn't in Tencent itself: It's in its largest shareholder, Naspers, which owns almost 29% of the Chinese giant through its majority stake in <b>Prosus</b> (OTC:PROSY). Both stocks are down by a similar amount. For those unfamiliar with the company, Naspers invested $32 million for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-third of Tencent in 2001. Flash forward to today, and that stake is now worth nearly <i>a quarter of a trillion dollars</i>.</p><p>The problem? Naspers began trading at a huge discount to the value of Tencent alone, never mind its billions in other emerging-market companies across classifieds, fintech, and food delivery. Naspers attributed the growing discount to its being listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), so in 2019, Naspers created Prosus. That company housed basically all of its investments outside South Africa (including Tencent), and listed itself on the larger Euronext exchange in Amsterdam, selling about 27% of Prosus to the public. But that didn't really work either: Prosus then began selling at a similar discount...and Naspers traded at a discount even to the value of its stake in Prosus.</p><p>So why is Naspers an especially compelling value today? Because Naspers and Prosus have taken three recent actions that could close the discount later this year. First, Prosus announced a $5 billion share repurchase program back in October, divided between both Prosus and Naspers shares, and Naspers just disclosed Prosus had already bought back 3% of shares outstanding in about six months. Repurchasing shares at a massive discount to intrinsic value adds long-term values for shareholders.</p><p>Second, Prosus cashed in about 2% of Tencent in early April, at prices higher than Tencent trades for today, lowering its stake from 31% to roughly 29%. That sale brought in $14.6 billion. Now flush with cash, Prosus can use the windfall to grow its non-Tencent business, and/or continue repurchasing shares.</p><p>Finally, following the partial sale of the Tencent stake, Naspers and Prosus just announced a share swap plan, in which Prosus would swap its less-discounted shares for the more-discounted Naspers shares, with the aim of acquiring 49.5% of Naspers. The thinking is that it would lower Naspers' 23% weighting on the JSE, giving it more \"room\" to grow toward fair value. Meanwhile, Prosus will have a bigger free float, and would therefore get higher weightings in European indexes and exchange-traded funds, which could theoretically close the discount to Tencent. In addition, the company announced the potential for another $5 billion buyback of Prosus shares after the transaction.</p><p>Between the ongoing repurchases, and the potential catalyst of the upcoming share swap (which should occur in the third quarter), investors can get a nice double discount today -- with another potential catalyst on the horizon, after the Tencent/Prosus/Naspers sell-off.</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>These 3 Stocks Are Screaming Buys Amid the Tech Selloff</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\">\nThese 3 Stocks Are Screaming Buys Amid the Tech Selloff\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-24 18:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/23/these-3-stocks-are-screaming-buys-amid-the-tech-se/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>After an epic rise in 2020, tech stocks have hit a rough patch to kick off 2021.

Some companies are running into slowdowns in their growth trajectories, as they start to lap the bump in business they got a year ago when the pandemic started.That doesn't mean all of these businesses are spent, though. Far from it: Many have incredibly bright outlooks and are screaming buys after getting caught up in the recent sell-off. Right now, three Fool.com contributors think Wix.com (NASDAQ:WIX), Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU), and Naspers (OTC:NPSNY) are worth a look.Building modern websites for small businessesNicholas Rossolillo (Wix.com): Wix turned in a fantastic start to 2021, but many investors chose to focus on the company's decision to stop disclosing specific user and premium subscriber counts (the service reached 200 million registered users worldwide in February, and nearly 5.5 million premium subscribers at the end of 2020). Sometimes a company will stop divulging metrics that no longer paint a favorable picture, but I don't think that's what's going on here. Wix already boasts a massive following, but user-count growth, and more importantly, user activity on Wix services, are already implied by the company's revenue trajectory.And on that front, Wix did exceptionally well in the first quarter of 2021. Revenue increased 41% year over year to $304 million, and management said to expect full-year revenue growth of 29% to 30%, to at least $1.28 billion -- building on top of the 30% gain in sales it notched in 2020. Free cash flow (FCF) is anticipated to be just $62 million to $72 million as the company spends to expand its reach in global e-commerce, an FCF profit margin of about 5%. However, Wix was generating FCF margin of nearly 20% last year, pretty good for a high-growth tech company. Eventually, I expect Wix will return to those profitability levels, and when it does, it will be a much larger business than it was before.For now, though, Wix is focusing on the tens of millions of small- and midsize-business relationships it has around the world. Recent product launches -- like Editor X for advertising agencies, and Wix integration with Alphabet's Google, so businesses can manage their web search presence -- will help it deepen those relationships; so will the acquisition of gift-card and store-credit tech outfit Rise.ai. In fact, Wix's aim is to build out easy-to-use e-commerce capabilities to help small businesses -- from local restaurants to event centers to fitness instructors -- have a quality online presence. CEO Avishai Abrahami said on the Q1 earnings call that the goal is to have half of all new web content created on Wix within the next five to seven years.The company is already well on its way toward accomplishing its mission. I think Wix stock is a compelling value, after getting sold off because of myopic views on elimination of user-count metrics. Shares trade for under 11 times full-year revenue expectations, the cheapest they've been since the start of the pandemic, even though the company's growth trajectory hasn't lost any steam. I, for one, am a buyer at these levels.A surefire winner in the media-streaming warsAnders Bylund (Roku): Media-streaming technology expert Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) skyrocketed 148% higher in 2020 but has struggled to maintain that momentum in 2021. These days, the stock is trading more than 30% below January's all-time highs.The thing is, Roku's long-term growth story really hasn't changed. The shifting investor attitude is based on broader market trends, not on any flaws in Roku's business plan.This company is crushing analyst targets with astonishing consistency. Roku has delivered positive earnings in the last three quarterly reports, when the Street was expecting negative bottom-line results in every case. Revenue exceeded analyst estimates by an average of 15% over the same period, including a 17% outperformance in the recent first-quarter update.Roku is often lumped together with other stocks that rose sharply during the 2020 coronavirus lockdowns. The basic assumption is that Roku's business prospects surely will fade once the health crisis is over, setting the stock up for a massive price drop.That's a big mistake. Roku's value as a long-term investment may have seen a modest boost from the pandemic, but the media-streaming market started to boom before COVID-19 came along and will continue to disrupt the global media market for many years to come.\"Streaming services are taking advantage of the tools Roku offers to help build audience and make their streaming business successful,\" Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood said in the first-quarter earnings call. \"We believe the inevitability of streaming is clear and that Roku's business model allows us to optimize streaming for all stakeholders, including viewers, advertisers, and content partners.\"In other words, Roku stands to win as media-streaming services supplant cable TV and movie theaters around the world, and it really doesn't matter exactly which streaming services come out on top. All of them depend more and more on Roku's technology platforms and ad-buying services.And now I can buy this big winner at a 30% discount. Where do I sign up?A premier large cap at half-price, with a near-term catalyst on the horizonBilly Duberstein (Naspers): Chinese internet giant Tencent Holdings (OTC:TCEHY) is down a little more than 20% from its February highs, which is not quite as bad as many software stocks, but still much worse than the FAANG stocks here in the U.S.But the really big bargain isn't in Tencent itself: It's in its largest shareholder, Naspers, which owns almost 29% of the Chinese giant through its majority stake in Prosus (OTC:PROSY). Both stocks are down by a similar amount. For those unfamiliar with the company, Naspers invested $32 million for one-third of Tencent in 2001. Flash forward to today, and that stake is now worth nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars.The problem?

Investors criticized the company for its slowing growth, the fierceness of its competition versus Box (BOX) and Google Drive (GOOG), and the general un-excitingness of its file-sharing product.</p>\n<p>Yet that sentiment has turned on a 180-degree axis this year. Suddenly, Dropbox is (quietly) one of the better-performing stocks in the software sector, while all the higher-flying names are still down double-digits (some down to half of their prior highs). Dropbox, on the other hand, is up ~20% year-to-date and is trading near 52-week highs, especially after a recent Q1 earnings print that showed strength across a number of fronts:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4236c5e808b9e28e8c0684c60b9012c4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>This rally, in my view, is far from letting up. There are two main factors / new updates that I think should continue to propel Dropbox higher in the near term:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Cash flow and value orientation is perfect for this cautious stock market.</b>Growth and paying premiums for growth stocks is out; value is in. Dropbox is the bargain basement of the software sector. In addition, the fact that the company has routinely dangled a target of hitting $1 billion in annual FCF by FY24 (roughly double current cash flow levels) while continuously raising operating margins quarter after quarter is a big draw for investors. We also like the fact that in February, Dropbox unveiled a brand-new $1 billion stock repurchase plan (when the stock was trading closer to the low $20s), which is a significant chunk of Dropbox's ~$10 billion market cap.</li>\n <li><b>DocSend acquisition opens up a world of possibilities.</b>In March, Dropbox&nbsp;announced&nbsp;and closed the acquisition of a company called DocSend, paying $165 million for it (which I view as a fairly modest price tag for the capacities that DocSend adds to the Dropbox platform). What I find most appealing about DocSend is the fact that it's a widely used tool for confidential information sharing (such as in legal trials or in M&amp;A deals). The addition of an enterprise tool like DocSend will further flex Dropbox's muscles in the enterprise space, helping it catch up to its rival Box (the latter of which has long touted superior security capabilities). DocSend also makes a welcome addition to Dropbox's growing portfolio of collaboration tools, alongside HelloSign (a direct competitor to DocuSign). Like the rest of Dropbox's product portfolio, DocSend has a range of plans and pricing for users of various budgets and levels of sophistication, giving it immediate cross-sell applicability to all segments of Dropbox's customer base:</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Figure 1. DocSend pricing tiers</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06fa729b2fcd93771123660f92fb7764\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"355\"><span>Source: Dropbox Q1 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>In short, Dropbox has growth levers (both organically through continued user additions in its core platform, plus acquisitions like DocSend) as well as margin/cash flow appeal. In spite of these strengths, Dropbox still trades at an incredibly attractive valuation (even after this year's 20% rally).</p>\n<p>At current share prices near $26, Dropbox has a $10.58 billion market cap. After netting off the $1.92 billion of cash and $1.37 billion of debt on Dropbox's most recent balance sheet, the company's&nbsp;<b>enterprise value is $10.03 billion</b>.</p>\n<p>For the current fiscal year, Dropbox has guided to $2.12-$2.13 billion in revenue, representing 11% y/y growth (a raised estimate, by the way, versus the 9-10% y/y range Dropbox had offered up in Q4).</p>\n<p>Figure 2. Dropbox FY21 guidance update</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca88bfb69e3ed32fdfcee3263623d788\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"251\"><span>Source: Dropbox Q1 earnings release</span></p>\n<p>Versus the midpoint of this revenue guide, Dropbox trades at a valuation of just<b>4.7x EV/FY21 revenue</b>-one of the cheapest valuation multiples in the software sector. I also like to frequently anchor Dropbox's valuation against its eventual annual cash flow target of $1 billion by FY24 - the fact that Dropbox trades at only ~10x that cash flow is another reason to stay invested in the stock under $30.</p>\n<p>In short, I find a number of reasons to stay invested in Dropbox, including its profit growth/cash flow targets, new products like DocSend that can help accelerate Dropbox's enterprise strength, and its low valuation/stock buyback tailwinds. Keep riding the upward momentum here.</p>\n<p><b>Q1 download</b></p>\n<p>Let's now discuss Dropbox's latest fiscal first-quarter results in greater detail. The Q1 earnings summary is shown below:</p>\n<p>Figure 3. Dropbox Q1 results</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13c0003be5c18d949e3fc2d1ad92a719\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"478\"><span>Source: Dropbox Q1 earnings release</span></p>\n<p>Dropbox grew revenue at a 12% y/y pace to $511.6 million in the quarter, beating Wall Street's revenue expectations of $505.2 million (+11% y/y). The company's growth has more or less tracked alongside the same low-teens pace at which it has been growing over the past several quarters (Dropbox's growth clocked in at 13% y/y in Q4).</p>\n<p>User growth has continued at a stable pace. The company ended the quarter with 15.83 million total paid users, adding 350k net-new users in the quarter (that represents an acceleration versus 230k net-new adds in Q4). We also like the fact that Dropbox's ARR has risen to $2.11 billion. Note that this represents a huge chunk of Dropbox's $2.12-$2.13 billion revenue guidance range for the year. Assuming low churn as a given, the company has almost perfect revenue visibility (which would suggest that any incremental or unexpected growth from new products like DocSend would be purely incremental to Dropbox's stated guidance).</p>\n<p>Figure 4. Dropbox key metrics</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7951111b91711293809b45a409d2728\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"321\"><span>Source: Dropbox Q1 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>One important update here is that Dropbox has made a substantial overhaul to its website and the way it places its paid products in free users' pages, giving Dropbox a greater opportunity to convert trial users into paid plans. Because Dropbox leans primarily on its self-service channel (users buying Dropbox plans of their own accord, without a sales rep), these small UI tweaks are critical for optimizing sales. Dropbox's CFO, Tim Regan, noted that this has resulted in higher conversion rates and drove better-than-expected revenue performance. Per Regan's prepared remarks on the&nbsp;Q1 earnings call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n On the self-serve side, we've recently made meaningful improvements to the way our users discover and purchase paid SKUs. Now our web pages more clearly surface our selection of paid plans as well as the corresponding features each plan offers. This has helped SMBs adopt our Pro plan, which offers robust functionality for sharing, transfer and file requests. These improvements have also helped our individual users to discover and migrate to our new family plan.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n In Q1, we saw a resulting improvement in conversion rates stemming from these changes, helping to drive our revenue performance.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Dropbox's free cash flow also kicked off FY21 with a bang. FCF grew more than 4x y/y to $115.7 million, representing a 21.3% FCF margin (up more than fifteen points from the year-ago quarter). The company cited operating leverage in each of its three spending buckets (R&amp;D, sales and marketing, and general overhead - though it notes that some marketing initiatives were merely deferred and will be made up for in the back half of 2021).

Investors criticized the company for its slowing growth, the fierceness of its competition versus Box (BOX) and Google Drive (GOOG), and the general un-excitingness of its file-sharing product.\nYet that sentiment has turned on a 180-degree axis this year. Suddenly, Dropbox is (quietly) one of the better-performing stocks in the software sector, while all the higher-flying names are still down double-digits (some down to half of their prior highs). Dropbox, on the other hand, is up ~20% year-to-date and is trading near 52-week highs, especially after a recent Q1 earnings print that showed strength across a number of fronts:\nData byYCharts\nThis rally, in my view, is far from letting up. There are two main factors / new updates that I think should continue to propel Dropbox higher in the near term:\n\nCash flow and value orientation is perfect for this cautious stock market.Growth and paying premiums for growth stocks is out; value is in. Dropbox is the bargain basement of the software sector. In addition, the fact that the company has routinely dangled a target of hitting $1 billion in annual FCF by FY24 (roughly double current cash flow levels) while continuously raising operating margins quarter after quarter is a big draw for investors. We also like the fact that in February, Dropbox unveiled a brand-new $1 billion stock repurchase plan (when the stock was trading closer to the low $20s), which is a significant chunk of Dropbox's ~$10 billion market cap.\nDocSend acquisition opens up a world of possibilities.In March, Dropbox announced and closed the acquisition of a company called DocSend, paying $165 million for it (which I view as a fairly modest price tag for the capacities that DocSend adds to the Dropbox platform). What I find most appealing about DocSend is the fact that it's a widely used tool for confidential information sharing (such as in legal trials or in M&A deals). The addition of an enterprise tool like DocSend will further flex Dropbox's muscles in the enterprise space, helping it catch up to its rival Box (the latter of which has long touted superior security capabilities). DocSend also makes a welcome addition to Dropbox's growing portfolio of collaboration tools, alongside HelloSign (a direct competitor to DocuSign). Like the rest of Dropbox's product portfolio, DocSend has a range of plans and pricing for users of various budgets and levels of sophistication, giving it immediate cross-sell applicability to all segments of Dropbox's customer base:\n\nFigure 1. DocSend pricing tiers\nSource: Dropbox Q1 investor presentation\nIn short, Dropbox has growth levers (both organically through continued user additions in its core platform, plus acquisitions like DocSend) as well as margin/cash flow appeal. In spite of these strengths, Dropbox still trades at an incredibly attractive valuation (even after this year's 20% rally).\nAt current share prices near $26, Dropbox has a $10.58 billion market cap. After netting off the $1.92 billion of cash and $1.37 billion of debt on Dropbox's most recent balance sheet, the company's enterprise value is $10.03 billion.\nFor the current fiscal year, Dropbox has guided to $2.12-$2.13 billion in revenue, representing 11% y/y growth (a raised estimate, by the way, versus the 9-10% y/y range Dropbox had offered up in Q4).\nFigure 2. Dropbox FY21 guidance update\nSource: Dropbox Q1 earnings release\nVersus the midpoint of this revenue guide, Dropbox trades at a valuation of just4.7x EV/FY21 revenue-one of the cheapest valuation multiples in the software sector. I also like to frequently anchor Dropbox's valuation against its eventual annual cash flow target of $1 billion by FY24 - the fact that Dropbox trades at only ~10x that cash flow is another reason to stay invested in the stock under $30.\nIn short, I find a number of reasons to stay invested in Dropbox, including its profit growth/cash flow targets, new products like DocSend that can help accelerate Dropbox's enterprise strength, and its low valuation/stock buyback tailwinds. Keep riding the upward momentum here.\nQ1 download\nLet's now discuss Dropbox's latest fiscal first-quarter results in greater detail. The Q1 earnings summary is shown below:\nFigure 3. Dropbox Q1 results\nSource: Dropbox Q1 earnings release\nDropbox grew revenue at a 12% y/y pace to $511.6 million in the quarter, beating Wall Street's revenue expectations of $505.2 million (+11% y/y). The company's growth has more or less tracked alongside the same low-teens pace at which it has been growing over the past several quarters (Dropbox's growth clocked in at 13% y/y in Q4).\nUser growth has continued at a stable pace. The company ended the quarter with 15.83 million total paid users, adding 350k net-new users in the quarter (that represents an acceleration versus 230k net-new adds in Q4). We also like the fact that Dropbox's ARR has risen to $2.11 billion. Note that this represents a huge chunk of Dropbox's $2.12-$2.13 billion revenue guidance range for the year. Assuming low churn as a given, the company has almost perfect revenue visibility (which would suggest that any incremental or unexpected growth from new products like DocSend would be purely incremental to Dropbox's stated guidance).\nFigure 4. Dropbox key metrics\nSource: Dropbox Q1 investor presentation\nOne important update here is that Dropbox has made a substantial overhaul to its website and the way it places its paid products in free users' pages, giving Dropbox a greater opportunity to convert trial users into paid plans. Because Dropbox leans primarily on its self-service channel (users buying Dropbox plans of their own accord, without a sales rep), these small UI tweaks are critical for optimizing sales. Dropbox's CFO, Tim Regan, noted that this has resulted in higher conversion rates and drove better-than-expected revenue performance. Per Regan's prepared remarks on the Q1 earnings call:\n\n On the self-serve side, we've recently made meaningful improvements to the way our users discover and purchase paid SKUs. Now our web pages more clearly surface our selection of paid plans as well as the corresponding features each plan offers. This has helped SMBs adopt our Pro plan, which offers robust functionality for sharing, transfer and file requests. These improvements have also helped our individual users to discover and migrate to our new family plan.\n\n\n In Q1, we saw a resulting improvement in conversion rates stemming from these changes, helping to drive our revenue performance.\n\nDropbox's free cash flow also kicked off FY21 with a bang. FCF grew more than 4x y/y to $115.7 million, representing a 21.3% FCF margin (up more than fifteen points from the year-ago quarter). The company cited operating leverage in each of its three spending buckets (R&D, sales and marketing, and general overhead - though it notes that some marketing initiatives were merely deferred and will be made up for in the back half of 2021). In addition to these operating cost improvements, Dropbox also achieved a two-point increase in pro forma gross margins, driven by economies of scale with Dropbox's backend infrastructure.\nFigure 5. Dropbox FCF and margin trends\nSource: Dropbox Q1 earnings release\nWe note that we assume ~10% y/y revenue growth for Dropbox each year through FY24, it would generate $2.83 billion in revenue that year and need a ~35% FCF margin to hit its $1 billion annual FCF target. These margin improvements are a major step in the right direction.\nKey takeaways\nDropbox remains a long-term hold in my portfolio, and it's a perfect way to maintain exposure to the tech sector with a low-risk, cheaply-valued stock at a time when investors have become allergic to nosebleed valuations.

You want to shout, “just tell him to stop it!”</p><p>This is what’s going on with Facebook and its oversight board. Facebook is trying to dodge responsibility for making a decision sure to be unpopular with some of its users. The oversight board, relishing its own perceived importance, issued an11,800 word communiquethat didn’t resolve anything. The real answer is painfully obvious: Facebook should permanently ban anybody who’s a chronic liar and violence inciter. Yet nobody in Faceworld can say it.</p><p>Let’s quickly review what’s really happening in the Facebook saga, by annotating the motives of the key players. It won’t take thousands of words.</p><p><b>Donald Trump.</b>He wants the largest possible audience for his propaganda, includinghis lies about the 2020 election being stolenfrom him. Trump is a wannabe despot whoclaims persecutionto distract followers from his aberrant behavior and his election losses. It also helps him raise money from gullible sympathizers. As a private-sector entity, Facebook has the right to boot users who cause the company trouble, which Trump clearly did. There’s no free speech or First Amendment issue at all, because Trump is still free to publish his own views on a platform of his own. If it were a free speech issue, Facebook could cite the First Amendment to declare it faces no obligation to publish anybody's views, just as a newspaper doesn't have to run government manifestoes. Trump's claim of “censorship” is ridiculous, but it obviously keeps him in the news and fires up his supporters.</p><p><b>The Trump cult.</b>Echoing Trump,other Republican politiciansclaim Facebook and other social-media sites single out conservatives for “censorship.” They’re mixing up cause and effect. Election lies and other disinformation are now a staple of the Trump wing of the Republican party, and these lies trigger retaliation by the companies hosting the offending accounts. If Trumpers lied less, social media would “censor” them less. Most of them know this, but “censorship” gives them a bogus cause that helps generate outrage among their followers and juice their own campaign contributions.</p><p><b>Mark Zuckerberg.</b>The Facebook CEO cares about making money above all, and there’s not necessarily anything wrong with that. Zuckerberg wants to outsource the decision about Trump so that he and the company don’t seem to be directly responsible for an outcome likely to anger millions of conservative Facebook users. He may also want to have plausible deniability the next time he testifies before Congress, so that when a Trump lackey such as Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) tries to pillory Zuckerberg for persecuting Trump, Zuckerberg can say, “it wasn’t me.” It’s not clear Facebook is actually losing money because of the Trump feud, but even if it is, Zuckerberg has miscalculated by failing to account for other damage caused by allowing the Trump debacle to fester.</p><p><b>Democrats.</b>They don’t like Facebook either, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Facebook critics on the left have a different gripe:Facebook abuses user dataand hastoo much powerin the digital advertising market. Facebook has few friends in Congress, but it does have one important thing going for it: The company’s Republican and Democratic critics are so divided that they may never agree on any legislation that reins in the company’s power.</p><p>There’s only one way the Facebook-Trump saga can end: A permanent Trump ban. Trump will never stop lying, and any negotiated return to Facebook would only restart the cycle. Around the same time Facebook indefinitely banned Trump, Twitteraxed his account permanently. It didn’t drag out the decision or ask somebody else to decide for it. Twitter (TWTR) is no longer explaining or relitigating its Trump decision, which is where Facebook might be in a year or two. It has already taken too long.</p>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","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>The real story of the Trump-Facebook saga</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\">\nThe real story of the Trump-Facebook saga\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-08 16:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-real-story-of-the-trump-facebook-saga-145941882.html><strong>Yahoo Finance </strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It’s not this complicated.Like other bumbling corporations reluctant to take a stand, Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, have turned a temporary controversy into an ongoing fiasco.

The oversight board, relishing its own perceived importance, issued an11,800 word communiquethat didn’t resolve anything. The real answer is painfully obvious: Facebook should permanently ban anybody who’s a chronic liar and violence inciter. Yet nobody in Faceworld can say it.Let’s quickly review what’s really happening in the Facebook saga, by annotating the motives of the key players. It won’t take thousands of words.Donald Trump.He wants the largest possible audience for his propaganda, includinghis lies about the 2020 election being stolenfrom him. Trump is a wannabe despot whoclaims persecutionto distract followers from his aberrant behavior and his election losses. It also helps him raise money from gullible sympathizers. As a private-sector entity, Facebook has the right to boot users who cause the company trouble, which Trump clearly did. There’s no free speech or First Amendment issue at all, because Trump is still free to publish his own views on a platform of his own. If it were a free speech issue, Facebook could cite the First Amendment to declare it faces no obligation to publish anybody's views, just as a newspaper doesn't have to run government manifestoes. Trump's claim of “censorship” is ridiculous, but it obviously keeps him in the news and fires up his supporters.The Trump cult.Echoing Trump,other Republican politiciansclaim Facebook and other social-media sites single out conservatives for “censorship.” They’re mixing up cause and effect. Election lies and other disinformation are now a staple of the Trump wing of the Republican party, and these lies trigger retaliation by the companies hosting the offending accounts. If Trumpers lied less, social media would “censor” them less. Most of them know this, but “censorship” gives them a bogus cause that helps generate outrage among their followers and juice their own campaign contributions.Mark Zuckerberg.The Facebook CEO cares about making money above all, and there’s not necessarily anything wrong with that. Zuckerberg wants to outsource the decision about Trump so that he and the company don’t seem to be directly responsible for an outcome likely to anger millions of conservative Facebook users. He may also want to have plausible deniability the next time he testifies before Congress, so that when a Trump lackey such as Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) tries to pillory Zuckerberg for persecuting Trump, Zuckerberg can say, “it wasn’t me.” It’s not clear Facebook is actually losing money because of the Trump feud, but even if it is, Zuckerberg has miscalculated by failing to account for other damage caused by allowing the Trump debacle to fester.Democrats.They don’t like Facebook either, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Facebook critics on the left have a different gripe:Facebook abuses user dataand hastoo much powerin the digital advertising market. Facebook has few friends in Congress, but it does have one important thing going for it: The company’s Republican and Democratic critics are so divided that they may never agree on any legislation that reins in the company’s power.There’s only one way the Facebook-Trump saga can end: A permanent Trump ban. Trump will never stop lying, and any negotiated return to Facebook would only restart the cycle. Around the same time Facebook indefinitely banned Trump, Twitteraxed his account permanently. It didn’t drag out the decision or ask somebody else to decide for it. Twitter (TWTR) is no longer explaining or relitigating its Trump decision, which is where Facebook might be in a year or two. It has already taken too long.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":100676845,"gmtCreate":1619613754887,"gmtModify":1634211346386,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward to great news","listText":"Looking forward to great news","text":"Looking forward to great news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/100676845","repostId":"1179396069","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179396069","pubTimestamp":1619573853,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179396069?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-28 09:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Could Blow the Top Off Earnings—Again.

The thing is, the tech giant just might be able to pull it off.</p>\n<p>The buzz around Apple last year was off the charts, even for what is the buzziest of technology companies. Anticipation of the fall launch of the company’s first 5G phones, surging demand for both Macs and iPads as the pandemic rolled on, and strength in both wearables and services fed off each other. The pieces all came together in the December quarter, when Apple (ticker: AAPL) posted&nbsp;its biggest quarter ever. Sales soared 21% to $111.4 billion, more than $8 billion over the Street consensus. Every product category—iPhone, iPad, Macs, wearables, and services—notched double-digit growth. Apple stock finished the year up 81%, adding nearly $1 trillion to its market cap.</p>\n<p>That’s a tough act to follow, particularly with the March quarter, which always slows from the holiday-boosted December quarter. But Apple could pull off the quintuple double again when its results come out after the bell Wednesday. The Street certainly thinks so, even if the market, which has pushed Apple shares up less than 2% in 2021, has been more cautious. Consensus estimates call for double-digit increases from last year across the board: iPhones sales up 43%, to $41.4 billion; iPad sales up 29%, to $5.6 billion; Mac sales of $6.8 billion, up 27%; wearables sales (mostly Apple Watch and AirPods) of $7.4 billion, up 18%; and a 16% bump in services, to $15.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Overall, the Street consensus expects sales of $77 billion, up 32% from a year ago, with profits of 98 cents a share. That would be the fastest top-line growth rate for any Apple quarter since March 2012, when revenues were about half what they are now. And most bullish Apple analysts seem to think their own estimates are too low—a print at $77 billion would likely trigger a selloff in the stock.</p>\n<p>Apple is also&nbsp;expected to provide an update on its capital-allocation strategy. A year ago,the company announced a 6% dividend increase, and boosted its stock repurchase plan by $50 billion. Apple has said repeatedly that it is pushing to get to a cash neutral position, but its remarkably big cash flow has slowed progress toward that goal.</p>\n<p>As always, the quarter is about more than just earnings.</p>\n<p>For one, the Street will be looking for signs that the sales surge for Macs and iPads is sustainable—and that the company is keeping up with demand despite widespread chip and display shortages. Some investors worry that the spike in PC demand could ebb as more people return to schools and offices. They’ll be looking for company guidance on that point.</p>\n<p>Another is the sustainability of the resurgence in iPhone growth. There were high hopes among bulls that the iPhone 12 would drive a “supercycle” with an accelerated replacement cycle. Several analysts have noted that a clear consumer preference for the high end of the iPhone 12 line is driving up average selling prices, which should support a strong revenue quarter for the segment.</p>\n<p>“Given the later-than-seasonal launch of new iPhones in the fall of 2020, we believe iPhone demand will experience more favorable year-over-year comparisons this March quarter compared to past years,” writes Monness Crespi Hardt’s Brian White, who sees 47% iPhone revenue growth during the quarter.</p>\n<p>And if Apple pulls it all together? Apple could crush Street estimates, writes Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, who has an Overweight rating and a $158 price target on the stock, up 17% from Monday’s close of $134.72. She sees the top line above $80 billion, with all segments growing at least 19% year over year. She is especially bullish on Mac and iPad sales, with estimates far above consensus—53% for Macs and 52% for iPads. She also expects Apple to increase its dividend by 10% and expand its stock repurchase program by $60 billion.</p>\n<p>That would certainly qualify as a job well done.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Apple Could Blow the Top Off Earnings—Again.

The rest of the FAANG stocks —Apple,Amazon,NetflixandGoogle parent Alphabet— have not broken through to their own since at least April.\nMichael Binger, president of Gradient Investments, says Facebook’s win streak is not over.\n“Facebook is continuing to be a buy for us. We own it I would add more if you don’t own it here. It’s the best consumer-driven internet play out there in my opinion. They’ve got a great advertising platform, 18 to 20% growth for the next several years. You’re getting that at a reasonable price,” Binger told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Tuesday.\nFacebook is the second-best FAANG performer this year, behind Alphabet, rising 22%.\nBut, that’s not the only stock in the bunch that Binger likes. He highlights Alphabet as one of his other top picks. On Alphabet, he says the company is a “leader of the pack” with its Google search and YouTube video platform.\nApple, too, is a buy for Binger after its sharp pullback. That stock has fallen 13% from a January peak.\n“I see Apple as a core holding, we own it, we love it and I think you could buy it right here on this pullback. The PE multiple has actually come down to the low-20s right now. So, I like Apple here,” he said.\nIn the same interview, Gina Sanchez, CEO of Chantico Global and chief market strategist at Lido Advisors, said Amazon looks to be one of the better picks of the bunch.\n“This is where that fine nuance between growth and price leads you to growth-at-a-reasonable price,” Sanchez said. “Amazon, even though it’s probably one of the most highly priced of all of the FAANGs, has a more interesting road ahead because they had strong growth during the pandemic. They’re probably going to lock in those consumers, their cloud business is still growing dramatically, and so the roadmap for them is very good.”\nAmazon trades at 51.5 times forward earnings. Facebook, the cheapest of the bunch, trades with a multiple of less than 24 times.\n“When you look at these interesting stocks, Amazon seems fairly priced given that it has still significant growth to come,” she said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":392,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119780903,"gmtCreate":1622564662702,"gmtModify":1634100405006,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Expecting good news","listText":"Expecting good news","text":"Expecting good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/119780903","repostId":"2138889344","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138889344","pubTimestamp":1622546894,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138889344?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-01 19:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Zoom Video to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138889344","media":"Zacks","summary":"Zoom Video Communications is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 1.For the quarte","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications</b> is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 1.</p><p>For the quarter, the company expects non-GAAP earnings between 95 cents and 97 cents per share.

A new pandemic-low in jobless claims also helped sentiment on Thursday.Thursday’s “jobless claims improvement furthers our view the disappointing April jobs report was likely a blip rather than a sign of deceleration, and we anticipate meaningful labor market improvement in coming months,” saidScott Ruesterholz, a portfolio manager at Insight Investment.Despite Thursday’s rebound, the Dow is down 0.9% in the past week, on track to see its fourth negative week out of the past five weeks. The S&P 500 is 0.4% lower on the week, on pace for its second negative week in a row. The Nasdaq Composite is up 0.8%, positioned to break a 4-week losing streak.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198018458,"gmtCreate":1620913597974,"gmtModify":1634195336682,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[看涨]&nbsp;","listText":"[看涨]&nbsp;","text":"[看涨]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/198018458","repostId":"1135513059","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":600,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":106452824,"gmtCreate":1620141295468,"gmtModify":1634207496210,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Why?","listText":"Why?","text":"Why?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/106452824","repostId":"1180068632","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180068632","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1620138358,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180068632?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-04 22:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq fell nearly 2% as tech shares lead losses","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180068632","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(May 4) Nasdaq drops nearly 2% as tech shares lead losses. Apple, NVDA, Paypal fell more than3%.","content":"<p>(May 4)&nbsp;Nasdaq drops nearly&nbsp;2% as tech shares lead losses.&nbsp;Apple,&nbsp;NVDA,&nbsp;Paypal&nbsp;fell&nbsp;more&nbsp;than3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf1960ead233b9384cec85af5c90acae\" tg-width=\"910\" tg-height=\"479\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f72deebc90969bf827ab4e18b05f7324\" tg-width=\"1866\" tg-height=\"894\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The good news is that AMD's bottom-line growth is here to stay thanks to a variety of catalysts, and it may not be long before the stock price follows suit.\nAMD EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts\nAll of this makes AMD a growth stock worth buying right now, as it continues to remain in a solid position against Intel and has additional growth drivers in the bag.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":136,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":120976661,"gmtCreate":1624294404653,"gmtModify":1634008206404,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good!","listText":"Good!","text":"Good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/120976661","repostId":"1171968125","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":350,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182283318,"gmtCreate":1623577450034,"gmtModify":1634031467352,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Permanent changes to work arrangement","listText":"Permanent changes to work arrangement","text":"Permanent changes to work arrangement","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/182283318","repostId":"2143788707","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143788707","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1623530820,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2143788707?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-13 04:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How tech companies are bringing workers back to the office: Slowly and with 'social' incentives","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143788707","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"'The claims that \"the office is dead\" are over-hyped,' Twilio executive says.

We will get back to normalcy.\"\nTech companies -- among the first to ask employees to work from home during the pandemic -- are leading the return to the office by the fall. Their reopening plans offer a glimpse into office life of the next few years, with a heavy emphasis on a hybrid work model and three-day work weeks onsite, as well as no vaccine requirements. California's COVID-19 state of emergency order will remain in place beyond June 15, despite plans to fully reopen the state's economy on that date, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.\n\"Three days a week [in the office] is the new five,\" Twilio Inc. (TWLO) Chief People Officer Christy Lake told MarketWatch, noting that 77% of the company's employees said they miss the office. \"The claims that 'the office is dead' are over-hyped. The truth is that the reasons people come into the physical office are changing.\"\nDynamic spaces will occupy a key part of Twilio's plans. The San Francisco-based company has revamped offices with specific areas for open collaboration, community and socializing, heads-down work, and flexible multipurpose spaces, said Lake, who added that some employees will trickle back to Twilio's Bay Area offices beginning July 14. Employees have the option of working from home throughout the year.\nPre-pandemic, many in Silicon Valley were already on the path to a hybrid situation. Advances in videoconferencing technology and bandwidth had given them the luxury of working from home several days a week to avoid car-choked freeways. And employers were OK with the arrangement to scoop up talent from across the country. What COVID did was accelerate a work trend that was already clearly in motion, said Heather Kernahan, global CEO at PR agency Hotwire.\n\"It's not going 'back to work.' We've been working hard,\" Kernahan said. \"Thoughtful working is what you do, not where you go.\"\nAn exodus back to the office is likely to occur by September, based on data collected by real-estate company Savills, which surveyed more than 120 tech companies in March. More than half said they expect to be back in the office by the third quarter of this calendar year.\nSilicon Valley's largest employers, sitting on millions of square feet of land they own, have been particularly aggressive in dictating when workers get back. How that pans out in an era when employees are increasingly outspoken about work conditions, including the option to work exclusively from home, bears watching, say labor experts.\nWhile employees at smaller companies have overwhelmingly shown a preference to return, those at Apple and other behemoths aren't so sure, given the large number of people congregating in one place.\nShortly after Apple Inc. $(AAPL)$ pronounced employees must work in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) beginning in early September -- including at Apple Park, the futuristic \"spaceship\"-like headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., that the company spent an estimated $5 billion to design and build -- some workers pushed back.\n\"We would like to take the opportunity to communicate a growing concern among our colleagues,\" Apple employees said in a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook. \"That Apple's remote/location-flexible work policy, and the communication around it, have already forced some of our colleagues to quit. Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple.\"\nGoogle parent Alphabet Inc. $(GOOGL)$(GOOGL) said it expects about 20% of its workforce to remain fully remote this fall , while 60% will work a hybrid office/home mix.\nFacebook Inc. (FB) employees have returned to a 10% maximum capacity at corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., and other select San Francisco Bay Area offices. Facebook is likely to fully reopen most U.S. offices by October, and non-remote employees will work in offices at least half the time. The company and Twitter Inc. (TWTR) have said employees will be allowed to permanently work from home if their jobs allow for it.\nMarketWatch talked to at least 20 companies, and a handful, including Twilio and Box, require employees to be vaccinated before returning to the office. Facebook and Amazon.com Inc. $(AMZN)$, for example, only encourage employees to vaccinate.\nOthers, however, have taken a more measured approach.\nSalesforce.com Inc. $(CRM.AU)$ reopened its first U.S. office, the Salesforce Tower headquarters in San Francisco, in May. Offices in Palo Alto, Calif., and Irvine, Calif, will follow in the coming months. At the same time, the company extended the option for all employees to continue to work from home through the end of 2021.\nOkta Inc. (OKTA) is shifting from large, campus-type locations serving regions to distributed offices based on where employees live. The new offices will function like Apple stores -- an \"experiential place\" where customers and partners can learn about products and chat with experts, and employees can collaborate as needed, an Okta spokeswoman told MarketWatch.\nBox Inc. $(BOX.UK)$ is opening its San Francisco office in mid-July and its Redwood City, Calif., headquarters in early August at limited capacity, per local regulations. What its workers will encounter is a mix of assigned desks and hoteling, a form of office management in which workers schedule their use of desks, cubicles and offices. But travel remains prohibited until at least later this summer, and quarterly all-hands meetings will remain virtual through Feb. 1, 2022.\nHewlett Packard Enterprise Co. $(HPE)$ has divided its workforce into two classes: \"Edge\" workers will come to the office with their laptops once or twice a week for meetings, collaboration and culture. \"Office\" workers will maintain dedicated work stations and come to the office most days.\nGerman software giant SAP (SAP.XE), which has a Palo Alto, Calif., campus, opened its offices in late April at less than 5% daily capacity for \"employees who choose to return to the office for business critical needs,\" a spokesperson said.\nThen there are outliers like VMware Inc. $(VMW)$, where few employees currently work onsite. The company is offering employees the choice to permanently work from home as part of a digital-first approach. VMware prohibits meetings and events of more than 10 people at the office -- a policy that will remain in effect until at least July 30. Few employees are currently working at the office, according to the company.\nBoatsetter Inc., an online platform for boat rentals in Florida, went to the extreme and shed 6,000 feet of office space.\nWhether employees are entirely open to the idea of returning full-time in the foreseeable future is another matter.\nAbout one in three (34%) working from home said they would look for a new job if forced to be in the office full time, and nearly half (49%) prefer a hybrid arrangement, according to a Robert Half poll of 1,000 U.S. workers in March .\n\"After a year of drastic change, many business leaders are eager to restore a sense of normalcy and welcome staff back to the office,\" said Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half. \"But reopening doors will bring new obstacles for companies to navigate. Not all employees will be ready -- or willing -- to return to the workplace, so staying flexible and responsive to their needs will be critical.\"\nNearly nine in 10 employees (89%) say they want to be allowed to work remotely some or all of the time, according to a survey of almost 209,000 people in 190 countries by Boston Consulting Group and The Network.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":379,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":189804881,"gmtCreate":1623250003343,"gmtModify":1631884325468,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope that the virus will die soon","listText":"Hope that the virus will die soon","text":"Hope that the virus will die soon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/189804881","repostId":"1169620542","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169620542","pubTimestamp":1623249428,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1169620542?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-09 22:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"J&J CEO says people will need Covid vaccine with annual flu shot for next several years as variants spread","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169620542","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nJ&J CEO Alex Gorsky reiterated Wednesday that people will likely need to receive additio","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nJ&J CEO Alex Gorsky reiterated Wednesday that people will likely need to receive additional doses of the Covid-19 vaccines alongside the flu shot for the next “several years.”\nPeople will ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/09/covid-variants-jj-ceo-says-vaccine-will-come-with-annual-flu-shot-for-the-next-several-years.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But has AMZN been the best Big Tech player at producing alpha? The Amazon Maven faces off six mega-cap stocks.</b></blockquote><p>A&nbsp;few days ago, the Amazon Maven explained howa mere $100 monthly investment in Amazon stock&nbsp;(<b>AMZN</b>) -Get Report&nbsp;since the company’s 1997 IPO would have led to riches: $2.7 million today. It is hard to imagine a methodical, long-term investment having performed as well as this one.</p><p>But has AMZN shares created the most alpha within the mega-cap tech universe? Could investors have done much better by betting on names like Apple&nbsp;(<b>AAPL</b>) or Microsoft&nbsp;(<b>MSFT</b>) instead?</p><p><b>What is alpha?</b></p><p>First, it helps to look closer at the concept of alpha. Generally, alpha is thought to be the returns that an investor can earn in excess of a benchmark. In other words: how much has a stock or portfolio risen relative to the S&amp;P 500 or the Nasdaq? Investopediasummarizesas follows:</p><blockquote>Alpha (α) is a term used in investing to describe an investment strategy's ability to beat the market, or its ‘edge’. Alpha is also referred to as ‘excess return’ or ‘abnormal rate of return’.</blockquote><p>To me, this is a good start. But alpha should also consider one crucial factor: risk.</p><p>Beating the S&amp;P 500 might simply mean higher sensitivity to market forces (i.e. beta). So, the better question is: how much return can a stock produce<b><i>relative to risk</i></b>. I believe that this is a more complete view of alpha.</p><p><b>Amazon stock vs. the rest</b></p><p>Considering absolute returns only, Amazon stock ranks remarkably high within Big Tech for historical share price performance. The chart below shows that, over the past 10 years, AMZN has only lagged Tesla (TSLA) in annualized gains.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8474b2c893b04f99bbc62cbf3aaa9bec\" tg-width=\"683\" tg-height=\"409\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Now, let me introduce risk to the equation. Risk is often defined (maybe too simplistically) as volatility. The more a stock rises and falls from minute to minute, or day to day, or week to week, the riskier it is.</p><p>So, one way to assess a stock’s returns relative to risk, thus giving us a better idea of its alpha potential, is to divide annualized returns by annualized volatility. By this methodology, Amazon stock loses its silver medal to Microsoft.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/760869278d2e71f120fe4f1fc108de5a\" tg-width=\"680\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">One takeaway here is that, over the past decade, Amazon has achieved higher returns than any other FAAMG stock, but not without exposing investors to more volatility. If history repeats, investors should expect high returns to come alongside relatively sharper ups and downs as well.</p><p>Another way to think about risk, one that I have favored recently, is to think about sizable losses. A good question to ask would be: how much has a stock produced in average annual returns relative to its worst trailing 12-month (TTM) performance?</p><p>Using this methodology, not only does Amazon stock lose its silver medal, but it also drops out of the podium altogether. See chart below, and notice that Facebook has also performed better than Amazon in the past ten years in loss-adjusted terms.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/affd59dcb14135f4a2cc892ad143ec26\" tg-width=\"683\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Figure 4: Ratio: Annualized return vs. Worst TTM return.</p><p>DM Martins Research</p><p>Amazon, in fact, has one of the worst track records within Big Tech when it comes to sharp losses. By November 2008, AMZN had seen 57% of its value evaporate over the previous year. Only Alphabet, around the same time, performed any worse than this.</p><p><b>The key takeaways for investors</b></p><p>Having said the above, I think that Amazon investors can learn a few lessons from this historical price action analysis:</p><ul><li>Amazon has been a high-performing name, both since the IPO and over the past decade. In absolute terms, it is hard to find many stocks that have consistently delivered outsized returns.</li><li>Once risk is introduced to the discussion, Amazon stock’s performance goes from “outstanding” to a less exhilarating “solid”. Peers like Tesla, Microsoft and even Facebook seem to have been better alpha producers. In the 10 years that preceded the pandemic, in fact, Amazon’s volatility-adjusted returns were about the same as the S&amp;P 500’s.</li><li>AMZN investors should understand that the stock could continue to produce outsized gains, but also endure higher volatility and sharper losses, as it has in the last decade or more.</li><li>As always, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Use history as a rough guide to set expectations, but understand that share price behavior can be quite different going forward.</li></ul><p><b>Twitter speaks</b></p><p>Pop quiz: relative to volatility (that is, in risk-adjusted terms), which of the following mega-cap tech stock has delivered the best returns in the past 10 year?

But has AMZN been the best Big Tech player at producing alpha? The Amazon Maven faces off six mega-cap stocks.A few days ago, the Amazon Maven explained howa mere $100 monthly investment in Amazon stock (AMZN) -Get Report since the company’s 1997 IPO would have led to riches: $2.7 million today. It is hard to imagine a methodical, long-term investment having performed as well as this one.But has AMZN shares created the most alpha within the mega-cap tech universe? Could investors have done much better by betting on names like Apple (AAPL) or Microsoft (MSFT) instead?What is alpha?First, it helps to look closer at the concept of alpha. Generally, alpha is thought to be the returns that an investor can earn in excess of a benchmark. In other words: how much has a stock or portfolio risen relative to the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq? Investopediasummarizesas follows:Alpha (α) is a term used in investing to describe an investment strategy's ability to beat the market, or its ‘edge’. Alpha is also referred to as ‘excess return’ or ‘abnormal rate of return’.To me, this is a good start. But alpha should also consider one crucial factor: risk.Beating the S&P 500 might simply mean higher sensitivity to market forces (i.e. beta). So, the better question is: how much return can a stock producerelative to risk. I believe that this is a more complete view of alpha.Amazon stock vs. the restConsidering absolute returns only, Amazon stock ranks remarkably high within Big Tech for historical share price performance. The chart below shows that, over the past 10 years, AMZN has only lagged Tesla (TSLA) in annualized gains.Now, let me introduce risk to the equation. Risk is often defined (maybe too simplistically) as volatility. The more a stock rises and falls from minute to minute, or day to day, or week to week, the riskier it is.So, one way to assess a stock’s returns relative to risk, thus giving us a better idea of its alpha potential, is to divide annualized returns by annualized volatility. By this methodology, Amazon stock loses its silver medal to Microsoft.One takeaway here is that, over the past decade, Amazon has achieved higher returns than any other FAAMG stock, but not without exposing investors to more volatility. If history repeats, investors should expect high returns to come alongside relatively sharper ups and downs as well.Another way to think about risk, one that I have favored recently, is to think about sizable losses. A good question to ask would be: how much has a stock produced in average annual returns relative to its worst trailing 12-month (TTM) performance?Using this methodology, not only does Amazon stock lose its silver medal, but it also drops out of the podium altogether. See chart below, and notice that Facebook has also performed better than Amazon in the past ten years in loss-adjusted terms.Figure 4: Ratio: Annualized return vs. Worst TTM return.DM Martins ResearchAmazon, in fact, has one of the worst track records within Big Tech when it comes to sharp losses. By November 2008, AMZN had seen 57% of its value evaporate over the previous year. Only Alphabet, around the same time, performed any worse than this.The key takeaways for investorsHaving said the above, I think that Amazon investors can learn a few lessons from this historical price action analysis:Amazon has been a high-performing name, both since the IPO and over the past decade. In absolute terms, it is hard to find many stocks that have consistently delivered outsized returns.Once risk is introduced to the discussion, Amazon stock’s performance goes from “outstanding” to a less exhilarating “solid”. Peers like Tesla, Microsoft and even Facebook seem to have been better alpha producers. In the 10 years that preceded the pandemic, in fact, Amazon’s volatility-adjusted returns were about the same as the S&P 500’s.AMZN investors should understand that the stock could continue to produce outsized gains, but also endure higher volatility and sharper losses, as it has in the last decade or more.As always, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Use history as a rough guide to set expectations, but understand that share price behavior can be quite different going forward.Twitter speaksPop quiz: relative to volatility (that is, in risk-adjusted terms), which of the following mega-cap tech stock has delivered the best returns in the past 10 year?

The blockage is further stressing an already strained supply chain, said Jon Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy for the National Retail Federation.\n“Every day that the vessel remains wedged across the canal adds delays to normal cargo flows,” he said, adding that the trade group’s members are actively working with carriers to monitor the situation and determine the best mitigation strategies. “Many companies continue to struggle with supply chain congestion and delays stemming from the pandemic. There is no doubt the delays will ripple through the supply chain and cause additional challenges.”\nA satellite image shows stranded container ship Ever Given after it ran aground in Suez Canal, Egypt March 25, 2021.\nThe Suez Canal, which separates Africa from Asia, is one of the busiest trade routes in the world, with approximately 12% of total global trade moving through it. Energy exports like liquified natural gas, Crude oil, and refined oil make up 5% to 10% of global shipments. The rest of the traffic is largely consumer products ranging from fire pits to clothing, furniture, manufacturing, auto parts and exercise equipment.\n“The key to this problem hinges on how much longer it will take to move the Ever Given,” explained Alan Baer, President of logistics provider, OL USA LLC. “USA importers face arrival delays of three days right now and this will continue to grow as long as the disruption continues.”\nHorn of Africa\nThe Suez has provided some relief for global importers as they increasingly relied on it last year to avoid massive congestion at West Coast ports in the U.S. that added days, if not weeks, to some deliveries coming from Asia.\nBaer, who has containers on vessels stuck in both lanes of the Suez Canal, said if it stays closed, vessels will be diverted and go around the horn of Africa, which adds an additional seven to nine days to a trip.\nAccording to BIMCO, the largest of the international shipping associations representing shipowners, the bottleneck will only continue to grow and impact supplies.\n“Everyone is making contingency plans as we speak,” said Peter Sand, chief shipping analyst at BIMCO.\nBIMCO\n“Carriers run a third of their Asia trade strings to the U.S. East Coast via the Suez and two-thirds via Panama Canal,” said Baer. “Disruption is also hitting the import trade from India as well as the Middle East.”\nClearing the backlog\nAccording to the World Shipping Council, the Suez canal’s daily vessel throughput capacity is 106. If the canal is closed for two days, it will then take two additional days after re-opening to clear the backlog.  The longer the delay, the longer it will take to move out the vessels.\nLars Jensen, CEO of Sea Intelligence Consulting, tells CNBC the schedule reliability for container vessels is already in disarray as a result of the pandemic.\n“Right now two out of three container vessels arrive late,” he explained. “And when they are late, they are on average five days late,” he said, adding that a two-day delay isn’t a major problem. “However, the longer this drags out, the worse it gets because you are then talking about effectively removing vessel capacity as well as containers at a point in time where they are already in short supply.”\nStranded container ship Ever Given, one of the world’s largest container ships, is seen after it ran aground, in Suez Canal, Egypt March 25, 2021.\nInventory impact\nIn addition to delaying thousands of containers loaded with consumer items, the stranded ship has also tied up empty containers, which are key for Chinese exports.\n“Containers are already scarce in China and the backup in the Suez will further stress the inventory,” explained Jon Monroe, maritime trade and logistics consultant with Jon Monroe Consulting. “We are back to a pre-Chinese New Year environment where factories are running at full steam and are struggling to find containers as well as space for their finished goods.”\nThis delay will impact the arrival of U.S. imports that fill store shelves as well as U.S. manufacturing components.\n“Before the Suez Canal disruption, we were expecting the container situation to get worse in April because we were already seeing the scarcity of containers,” said Monroe. “This canal closure will not help. You will start to see product piling up on factory floors.”\nConsumer demand\nChinese manufacturers are responding to the tremendous global orders for their goods. Pandemic lockdowns have fueled consumer demand over the last year. As a result, a continuous historic flow of vessels holding millions of containers is clogging ports and slowing down processing. The delays have been costly.\nNikealong with retailersCrocs,Gap,Peloton,Footlocker,Five Below,William Sonoma,Steve Madden,Whirlpool,Urban Outfitters, and Tesla all cited supply chain problems impacting their business this quarter.\nBrian Bourke, Chief Growth Officer of SEKO Logistics tells CNBC, the blockage is creating the perfect storm for retailers who are struggling to restock.\n“The timing of this could not be worse,” he said. “You have stimulus checks going into the hands of consumers. After every stimulus check, we have seen a huge surge in product volume. We are talking to businesses that are running out of inventory. How can you have a stimulus if you can’t buy anything? Your wait for your couch can be longer than three months.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":104280057,"gmtCreate":1620393650379,"gmtModify":1634205566314,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/104280057","repostId":"2133504675","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2133504675","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1620386287,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2133504675?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-07 19:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dropbox Reports Strong Q1 Earnings, Expanding Margins, Raises FY21 Guidance","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2133504675","media":"Benzinga","summary":"\n","content":"<ul><li><b>Dropbox Inc</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;DBX)&nbsp;reported first-quarter&nbsp;FY21 revenue growth of 12% year-on-year to $511.6 million, beating the analyst consensus of $505.1 million.</li><li>Total ARR rose 13% Y/Y to $2.112 billion, and paying users rose 8.5% Y/Y to 15.83 million.

Munger, 97, is still active in the investing world, not only through his activities at Berkshire, but also as chairman of the <b>Daily Journal Corporation </b>(NASDAQ:DJCO).</p>\n<p>Munger bought the Daily Journal decades ago when he was still running his own investment fund, for just $2.5 million.

The recent controversy around founder Jack Ma and the aborted IPO for Ant Financial, of which Alibaba holds a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-third stake, has likely played a role. Antitrust concerns in China have been an added drag. Furthermore, Alibaba is facing stiff competition in the e-commerce space from <b>JD.com</b>&nbsp;as well as the explosive discount-buying upstart <b>Pinduoduo</b>.</p>\n<p>However, Buffett once quipped, \"You pay a high price for a cheery consensus.\" Amid these concerns, Alibaba trades just around 25 times trailing earnings and under 19 times this year's earnings estimates. That's much cheaper than all of the FAANG stocks in the U.S., which is surprising given Alibaba's still strong growth rates and the growing middle class in China.</p>\n<h2>But Alibaba may be even cheaper than that</h2>\n<p>As is the case with several large technology conglomerates, Munger may be looking at various parts of Alibaba's sprawling empire, and might have realized these parts add up to much more than Alibaba's current market value.</p>\n<p>For <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> thing, Alibaba has a significant amount of cash on its balance sheet, along with large stakes in private companies like Ant Group as well as publicly traded companies. As of Dec. 31, 2021, its balance sheet included $47.8 billion in cash, $22.1 billion in short-term securities, $36.8 billion in other publicly traded equity securities, and another $28.4 billion in equity method investees, such as Ant Group. Those assets add up to $135.1 billion, against just about $18 billion in short and long-term debt.</p>\n<p>So while Alibaba currently sports a market cap of $615 billion or so, it's really only about $500 billion when stripping out these net assets. That's very cheap compared with Alibaba's current operating income, which totaled $14.9 billion through the first nine months of fiscal 2021, good for nearly a $20 billion run rate.</p>\n<p>Yet even that operating income figure may underrate Alibaba's true earnings power. That's because the company is aggressively investing the large cash flows from its core e-commerce platform into other parts of its operations. In fact, Alibaba is experiencing losses in a large number of its higher-growth business, including its local consumer services business, logistics arm Cainiao, Southeast Asian e-commerce firm Lazada Group, and its cloud computing and digital entertainment businesses. Over the past nine months, these cumulative losses decreased real operating income by about $5 billion, even though these divisions likely have significant positive value.</p>\n<h2>It all adds up to a bargain, in Munger's eyes</h2>\n<p>One could say Alibaba's core e-commerce operating income was almost $20 billion for the nine months ended in December, good for an annual run rate around $26 billion. Against $500 billion in enterprise value, that's less than a 20 times EBIT multiple. And this is for a company that grew revenue 37% last quarter. That seems like a pretty good deal.</p>\n<p>One particular reason to be bullish is Alibaba's cloud computing division. Last quarter, cloud revenue was up 50%, and that division also just recorded its first quarter of positive adjusted EBITA. Most think cloud is in its relatively early stages, especially in China, so that division likely has significant value going forward that hasn't contributed anything to overall company operating profits yet.</p>\n<h2>Alibaba looks like a good deal, if you can handle the China risk</h2>\n<p>All in all, Alibaba stock looks like a great value, provided investors can handle the China risk. Of note, the SEC just adopted a rule that will require U.S.-listed Chinese companies to be audited by U.S. tax authorities, as well as disclose Communist Party affiliations. Therefore, some Chinese securities have sold off on further U.S.-China tension fears.</p>\n<p>However, Munger is a noted bull on China. He may think these headlines are more dire than the business reality. If that turns out to be true, he and the Daily Journal may have indeed gotten a bargain in Alibaba's stock.</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>Charlie Munger Just Bought Alibaba Stock: Should You?</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\">\nCharlie Munger Just Bought Alibaba Stock: Should You?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-08 21:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/08/charlie-munger-just-bought-alibaba-stock-should-yo/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett's longtime partner just took a big stake in the Chinese e-commerce giant.\nMany investors follow Warren Buffett's every move, but many also pay close attention to his longtime partner ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/08/charlie-munger-just-bought-alibaba-stock-should-yo/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BABA":"阿里巴巴","QNETCN":"纳斯达克中美互联网老虎指数","BRK.A":"伯克希尔","09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/08/charlie-munger-just-bought-alibaba-stock-should-yo/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2125770926","content_text":"Warren Buffett's longtime partner just took a big stake in the Chinese e-commerce giant.\nMany investors follow Warren Buffett's every move, but many also pay close attention to his longtime partner and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) Vice Chairman Charlie Munger.

Most think cloud is in its relatively early stages, especially in China, so that division likely has significant value going forward that hasn't contributed anything to overall company operating profits yet.\nAlibaba looks like a good deal, if you can handle the China risk\nAll in all, Alibaba stock looks like a great value, provided investors can handle the China risk. Of note, the SEC just adopted a rule that will require U.S.-listed Chinese companies to be audited by U.S. tax authorities, as well as disclose Communist Party affiliations. Therefore, some Chinese securities have sold off on further U.S.-China tension fears.\nHowever, Munger is a noted bull on China. He may think these headlines are more dire than the business reality. If that turns out to be true, he and the Daily Journal may have indeed gotten a bargain in Alibaba's stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":124,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":114410451,"gmtCreate":1623086347273,"gmtModify":1631884870552,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Education remains the main focus in Asia","listText":"Education remains the main focus in Asia","text":"Education remains the main focus in Asia","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/114410451","repostId":"1137073803","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":314,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":115834585,"gmtCreate":1622969021347,"gmtModify":1634096489508,"author":{"id":"3570680486847650","authorId":"3570680486847650","name":"发哥1991","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd7a603ab915f1c22c7a2a237b86de6f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570680486847650","idStr":"3570680486847650"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"IBM?","listText":"IBM?","text":"IBM?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/115834585","repostId":"2141882252","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2141882252","pubTimestamp":1622945404,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2141882252?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-06 10:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Dow Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in June","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2141882252","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"One sector in particular is a treasure trove of growth and value this month.","content":"<p>Last month, the iconic <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b> (DJINDICES:^DJI) donned its party hat and celebrated its 125th anniversary.

Over the next decade, its growth may not be the same, however. Yet, thanks to massive shareholder return programs and a move towards services, Apple's stock will likely still be significantly higher a decade from now - even though the current valuation is rather high.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Over the last decade, Apple Inc. has been a great investment:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d29aa34bdbc5bab7d0730a4095954e6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares have returned 900% in those ten years, before dividends, for a compounded annual return of approximately 26%, easily trouncing the returns of the broad market during that time frame. Importantly, shares have risen a lot more than the company's market capitalization, which grew by only 550% over the last decade. The difference can be explained by the company's large share repurchase programs, which have lowered the share count drastically over the last decade. The last decade, of course, was a highly successful period for Apple on a business basis, as the company benefited from the rise of smartphones while also having success with new products such as its Watch and tablets, which Apple more or less introduced as a new product category. Right now, shares trade for $125, up 57% over the last twelve months, but down 6% in 2021 to date. Following strong gains during 2020, shares seem to be in a consolidation pattern for now, which is not too much of a surprise, as Apple's valuation had expanded a lot in the recent past, and it seems that the company's business growth has to catch up to the recent share price increases now. The current consensus price target is $156, which implies an upside potential of 25%. Since there are no signs of shares leaving their current trading range right now, I personally do not think that Apple will breach $150 in the near term.</p>\n<p><b>Where Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years</b></p>\n<p>Apple's stock price in 2031 is, of course, nothing that can be forecasted with any precision. As history has shown, again and again, it is not even possible to forecast share prices precisely over a much shorter period of time. It is, however, possible to craft scenarios to see where share prices could be in the future under certain conditions, to get a feel for what might be a reasonable expectation for the future.</p>\n<p>To craft one such scenario, we have to consider Apple's business growth, Apple's shareholder return program, and the valuation multiple that shares might trade at in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Apple's business growth</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. has seen years of stronger growth and years of weaker growth in the past. This mostly can be explained by factors such as new product introductions, e.g. Watch or iPad, and by the strength of the respective current iPhone models, which see varying demand depending on the year. Other factors, such as economic growth or trade issues, play a role as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5b8bd8ef6cdaa13850c1380e870554c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Overall, revenues have grown by 154% over the last decade, but as we see in the above chart, revenue growth has been relatively uneven. During the early 2010s, Apple generated massive growth on the back of the iPhones \"road to victory\", whereas revenue growth declined to a much slower pace in the following years. There were even some years during which revenues declined on a year-over-year basis, such as 2016. The average annual revenue growth pace was 10% over the last decade, but when we factor in that this was lifted up by the very strong growth in 2011 and 2012, it may not be too reasonable to assume that Apple will grow by 10% a year in the future, too. Investors should also consider that maintaining a high growth rate becomes ever more difficult the larger a company gets. This does, however, not mean that Apple's revenue growth will slow down to zero.</p>\n<p>On the back of price increases for its products and the potential for market share gains in&nbsp;high-growth countries such as China, where more and more people will be able to buy Apple's higher-priced products, it seems reasonable to assume that Apple will generate at least some growth from its core businesses. Add in growth in the services segment - people use their phones more and more, which should lead to higher app spending - and consider the potential for new product launches (although I assume none will be as massive as the iPhone), and Apple should be able to grow its business at a solid pace. I personally assume that a 5%-7% revenue growth rate could be a realistic estimate for the coming years, although some readers will of course have different opinions.</p>\n<p><b>Apple's shareholder returns</b></p>\n<p>Apple has lowered its share count massively in the past, as shown above, and it is, I believe, reasonable to assume that the same will happen going forward. Over the last decade, Apple bought back 36% of its shares. If the same were to happen over the next decade, each remaining share's portion of the company's value would rise by 56%, or 4.6% annualized. Due to the fact that Apple's current valuation is significantly higher than its historic valuation, buybacks could be less impactful in the future, though.

In late 2020, however, shares were trading for as much as 40x the company's net earnings, which seems like a quite high valuation. Right now, AAPL trades at 28x trailing earnings, and at around 24x forward profits. In the above chart, we also see the median earnings multiples over the last 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. It is pretty clear that Apple's valuation has expanded over the years, which is why the median values are higher for the shorter \"lookback\" periods. I do not believe that AAPL will trade at the 15.5x net earnings that it has traded at, on average, over the last decade, as this seems like a rather low valuation for a quality company like Apple with a strong brand, massive scale, great margins, and a fortress balance sheet. On the other hand, I also don't believe that Apple will trade at a 24-28x earnings multiple forever - for a company that generates solid but unspectacular business growth in the mid-single-digits, that seems quite expensive. This is especially true when we consider that interest rates will likely be higher a decade from now, which should pressure valuations for all equities, all else equal. I thus believe that a valuation of around 20x net earnings could be a reasonable estimate for 2031, which would be more or less in line with the 3-year median earnings multiple.</p>\n<p><b>Is AAPL A Buy Or Sell Now</b></p>\n<p>Starting our calculation with an EPS estimate of $5.15 for 2021 and assuming that this will grow by 7%-10% a year through 2031, we reach an EPS range of $10.10 to $13.40. Putting a 20x earnings multiple on that leads to a target price of around $200-$270/share. At the midpoint of around $235, shares would thus see gains of around 90% from the current level, or around 6.5% annualized. That surely is not a bad return, and when we add in the dividend, we would get to an annualized return of roughly 7%. This is, on the other hand, also not an outrageously great return, I believe.</p>\n<p>AAPL has, I believe, significant upside potential over the next decade, but that should not be a large surprise - many companies will see significant growth over a time span this long. I personally am not too excited about a 7% expected long-term return. When we consider that shares do have considerable downside risk in the next 1-3 years if Apple's valuation declines, e.g. due to rising interest rates, it may be a better choice to stay on the sidelines for now. Long-term investors will likely not do badly when they buy shares at current levels, but they will likely also not do great. For now, I'd rate Apple a hold, and a potential buy if its valuation comes closer to the longer-term average. Those that are more optimistic about new product launches may disagree and favor buying here, but it could turn out that waiting for a better opportunity is the best choice here.</p>\n<p>Summing it up, I'd say shares do have significant upside potential over the next decade, but the upside potential is not large enough to make me buy shares at current, elevated, valuations.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Where Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years?

Over the next decade, its growth may not be the same, however. Yet, thanks to massive shareholder return programs and a move towards services, Apple's stock will likely still be significantly higher a decade from now - even though the current valuation is rather high.\nApple Stock Price\nOver the last decade, Apple Inc. has been a great investment:\nData by YCharts\nShares have returned 900% in those ten years, before dividends, for a compounded annual return of approximately 26%, easily trouncing the returns of the broad market during that time frame. Importantly, shares have risen a lot more than the company's market capitalization, which grew by only 550% over the last decade. The difference can be explained by the company's large share repurchase programs, which have lowered the share count drastically over the last decade. The last decade, of course, was a highly successful period for Apple on a business basis, as the company benefited from the rise of smartphones while also having success with new products such as its Watch and tablets, which Apple more or less introduced as a new product category. Right now, shares trade for $125, up 57% over the last twelve months, but down 6% in 2021 to date. Following strong gains during 2020, shares seem to be in a consolidation pattern for now, which is not too much of a surprise, as Apple's valuation had expanded a lot in the recent past, and it seems that the company's business growth has to catch up to the recent share price increases now. The current consensus price target is $156, which implies an upside potential of 25%. Since there are no signs of shares leaving their current trading range right now, I personally do not think that Apple will breach $150 in the near term.\nWhere Will Apple Stock Be In 10 Years\nApple's stock price in 2031 is, of course, nothing that can be forecasted with any precision. As history has shown, again and again, it is not even possible to forecast share prices precisely over a much shorter period of time. It is, however, possible to craft scenarios to see where share prices could be in the future under certain conditions, to get a feel for what might be a reasonable expectation for the future.\nTo craft one such scenario, we have to consider Apple's business growth, Apple's shareholder return program, and the valuation multiple that shares might trade at in the future.\nApple's business growth\nApple Inc. has seen years of stronger growth and years of weaker growth in the past. This mostly can be explained by factors such as new product introductions, e.g. Watch or iPad, and by the strength of the respective current iPhone models, which see varying demand depending on the year. Other factors, such as economic growth or trade issues, play a role as well.\nData by YCharts\nOverall, revenues have grown by 154% over the last decade, but as we see in the above chart, revenue growth has been relatively uneven. During the early 2010s, Apple generated massive growth on the back of the iPhones \"road to victory\", whereas revenue growth declined to a much slower pace in the following years. There were even some years during which revenues declined on a year-over-year basis, such as 2016. The average annual revenue growth pace was 10% over the last decade, but when we factor in that this was lifted up by the very strong growth in 2011 and 2012, it may not be too reasonable to assume that Apple will grow by 10% a year in the future, too. Investors should also consider that maintaining a high growth rate becomes ever more difficult the larger a company gets. This does, however, not mean that Apple's revenue growth will slow down to zero.\nOn the back of price increases for its products and the potential for market share gains in high-growth countries such as China, where more and more people will be able to buy Apple's higher-priced products, it seems reasonable to assume that Apple will generate at least some growth from its core businesses. Add in growth in the services segment - people use their phones more and more, which should lead to higher app spending - and consider the potential for new product launches (although I assume none will be as massive as the iPhone), and Apple should be able to grow its business at a solid pace. I personally assume that a 5%-7% revenue growth rate could be a realistic estimate for the coming years, although some readers will of course have different opinions.\nApple's shareholder returns\nApple has lowered its share count massively in the past, as shown above, and it is, I believe, reasonable to assume that the same will happen going forward. Over the last decade, Apple bought back 36% of its shares. If the same were to happen over the next decade, each remaining share's portion of the company's value would rise by 56%, or 4.6% annualized. Due to the fact that Apple's current valuation is significantly higher than its historic valuation, buybacks could be less impactful in the future, though. Apple has, for example, only reduced its share count by 2.6% over the last year.\nThis is why I believe that the share count will not decline by another 36% over the coming decade. When we adjust that downward to 25%, this would result in a ~3% annual tailwind for Apple's growth when we look at per-share metrics, which are the deciding factor for Apple's share price growth. Combined with my 5%-7% business growth estimate, I thus assume that Apple will grow by 8%-10% on a per-share basis in the long term.\nApple's future valuation\nAAPL has been valued in a very wide range in the past, seeing its shares trade for very low multiples at some points, whereas investors were willing to pay significantly more at other times:\nData by YCharts\nShares could, five years ago, be bought for a very low 10x net earnings, which naturally was a great time to enter or expand positions.
