Yes, along with these other stocks that are cash-flow win","content":"<html><body><font class=\"NormalMinus1\" face=\"Arial\">\n<p>\nMW Amazon and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> as defensive plays? Yes, along with these other stocks that are cash-flow winners\n</p>\n<p>\n By Philip van Doorn \n</p>\n<p>\n Among the largest U.S. companies, Amazon and Facebook have grown their cash flow rapidly, which helps investors play it safe. \n</p>\n<p>\n If we're heading into a time of increased risk in the stock market, investors might be well-served by owning shares of companies that not only generate a lot of cash, but also grow that money rapidly. \n</p>\n<p>\n Below are two lists of large companies that have shown the highest free-cash-flow growth rates over the past three and five years. \n</p>\n<p>\n A rapid pace of economic growth is generally a good thing for stock investors. But we're in a period of unusually aggressive policies by the Federal Reserve to spur that growth. These policies have included a federal funds rate with a target range of zero to 0.25% and a continual increase in the central bank's holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed bonds. But with increasing inflation, the Fed may act sooner than previously expected to quell price increases -- and that could lead to an uncertain period for stocks. \n</p>\n<p>\n Read:Fed takes baby steps toward scaling back its bond purchases \n</p>\n<p>\n Three-year cash-flow winners \n</p>\n<p>\n Many professional investors emphasize cash flow when analyzing companies. Earnings can be a tough nut because there are so many <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-time noncash items that can affect a company's bottom line. A company can also book revenue while it is waiting to be paid -- this means it shows a profit for selling something even though the cash hasn't been received. \n</p>\n<p>\n Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has explained the importance of cash flow in his annual letters to shareholders, including the 2020 letter , when he wrote that the company's insurance businesses had an important industry advantage: \"Overall, the insurance fleet operates with far more capital than is deployed by any of its competitors worldwide. That financial strength, coupled with the huge flow of cash Berkshire annually receives from its non-insurance businesses, allows our insurance companies to safely follow an equity-heavy investment strategy not feasible for the overwhelming majority of insurers.\" \n</p>\n<p>\n To identify large, stable companies growing their cash flow most quickly, we looked at free cash flow data provided by FactSet and compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for three and five years. \n</p>\n<p>\n A company's free cash flow is its remaining cash flow after planned capital expenditures. It is money that can be deployed to expand the business, make acquisitions, buy back shares, raise dividends or for other corporate purposes. \n</p>\n<p>\n A blind focus on the highest free-cash-flow CAGR would have the problem of highlighting companies that had unusually low cash flows for the beginning period. So for the three-year free-cash-flow CAGR ranking we began with the 50 companies in the S&P 500 Index with the highest free cash flow for calendar 2017, and then ranked them by FCF CAGR for three years through 2020. We used calendar years because many companies have fiscal years that don't match the calendar. \n</p>\n<p>\n The largest company on the list of 50 was Apple Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a>, which had $52.91 billion in free cash flow in calendar 2017. The company's free cash flow increased to $80.22 billion in 2020, for a three-year CAGR of 14.9%. But Apple didn't make the top 10 list for 2003 -- it was ranked 14th. More about Apple below. \n</p>\n<p>\n Here are the 10 S&P 500 companies from the list described above with the highest free-cash-flow CAGR for three years through 2020. The annual data is in millions of dollars: \n</p>\n<p>\n You can scroll the table to see how each company's free cash flow increased or declined over the past three years. The CAGR calculation only uses the 2020 and 2017 year-end numbers. \n</p>\n<p>\n Amazon.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a> was way out in front for three-year FCF CAGR through 2020 among the 50 companies in the S&P 500 with the highest FCF at the end of 2017. You can see below that it ranked second on the five-year list. \n</p>\n<p>\n For three years, Verizon Communications Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$(VZ)$</a> ranked second, with CVS Health Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS.AU\">$(CVS.AU)$</a> in third place. \n</p>\n<p>\n CVS underlines the imperfection of any <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-point stock screen. The company made the three- and five-year lists because of the increase in cash flow from its transformative acquisition of Aetna in November 2018. After a few more years, it will be interesting to see how rapidly the combined company is able to grow its cash flow from a 2019 baseline. \n</p>\n<p>\n After the five-year list, there are more comments about companies that made the top 10 for both periods. \n</p>\n<p>\n Five-year cash flow winners \n</p>\n<p>\n For the five-year free-cash-flow CAGR ranking we began with the 50 companies in the S&P 500 Index with the highest free cash flow for calendar 2015, and then ranked them by FCF CAGR for three years through 2020. \n</p>\n<p>\n During calendar 2015, Apple had the highest free cash flow of $63.37 billion among S&P 500 companies. That's much higher than the company's $52.91 billion in FCF in 2017. It also explains why the company's five-year FCF CAGR through 2020 was only 4.8% and why its three-year CAGR was so much higher at 14.9%. This illustrates the importance of seeing the data for each year, even though the CAGR calculations only make use of the starting and ending data points. \n</p>\n<p>\n Here are the five-year CAGR winners, including the FCF figures for six years that you can see if you scroll the table: \n</p>\n<p>\n Facebook Inc. (FB) is the five-year winner, increasing its free cash flow to $23.63 billion in 2020 from $6.08 billion in 2015 for a CAGR of 31.2%. The company was ranked 19th for three-year FCF CAGR. \n</p>\n<p>\n Amazon ranked second for five-year CAGR and was one of several companies making both the five- and three-year top-10 lists: \n</p>\n<p>\n As explained above, any stock screen based on one element has its limits. It is very important to do your own research and form your own opinion before committing to any investment. \n</p>\n<p>\n Don't miss: Amazon is a cheap stock for long-term investors. These numbers tell you why . \n</p>\n<p>\n -Philip van Doorn; 415-439-6400; AskNewswires@dowjones.com \n</p>\n<pre>\n \n</pre>\n<p>\n <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/END\">$(END)$</a> Dow Jones Newswires\n</p>\n<p>\n May 29, 2021 11:18 ET (15:18 GMT)\n</p>\n<p>\n Copyright (c) 2021 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.\n</p>\n</font></body></html>","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>Amazon and Facebook as defensive plays?

Yes, along with these other stocks that are cash-flow winners\n\n\n By Philip van Doorn \n\n\n Among the largest U.S. companies, Amazon and Facebook have grown their cash flow rapidly, which helps investors play it safe. \n\n\n If we're heading into a time of increased risk in the stock market, investors might be well-served by owning shares of companies that not only generate a lot of cash, but also grow that money rapidly. \n\n\n Below are two lists of large companies that have shown the highest free-cash-flow growth rates over the past three and five years. \n\n\n A rapid pace of economic growth is generally a good thing for stock investors. But we're in a period of unusually aggressive policies by the Federal Reserve to spur that growth. These policies have included a federal funds rate with a target range of zero to 0.25% and a continual increase in the central bank's holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed bonds. But with increasing inflation, the Fed may act sooner than previously expected to quell price increases -- and that could lead to an uncertain period for stocks. \n\n\n Read:Fed takes baby steps toward scaling back its bond purchases \n\n\n Three-year cash-flow winners \n\n\n Many professional investors emphasize cash flow when analyzing companies. Earnings can be a tough nut because there are so many one-time noncash items that can affect a company's bottom line. A company can also book revenue while it is waiting to be paid -- this means it shows a profit for selling something even though the cash hasn't been received. \n\n\n Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has explained the importance of cash flow in his annual letters to shareholders, including the 2020 letter , when he wrote that the company's insurance businesses had an important industry advantage: \"Overall, the insurance fleet operates with far more capital than is deployed by any of its competitors worldwide. That financial strength, coupled with the huge flow of cash Berkshire annually receives from its non-insurance businesses, allows our insurance companies to safely follow an equity-heavy investment strategy not feasible for the overwhelming majority of insurers.\" \n\n\n To identify large, stable companies growing their cash flow most quickly, we looked at free cash flow data provided by FactSet and compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for three and five years. \n\n\n A company's free cash flow is its remaining cash flow after planned capital expenditures. It is money that can be deployed to expand the business, make acquisitions, buy back shares, raise dividends or for other corporate purposes. \n\n\n A blind focus on the highest free-cash-flow CAGR would have the problem of highlighting companies that had unusually low cash flows for the beginning period. So for the three-year free-cash-flow CAGR ranking we began with the 50 companies in the S&P 500 Index with the highest free cash flow for calendar 2017, and then ranked them by FCF CAGR for three years through 2020. We used calendar years because many companies have fiscal years that don't match the calendar. \n\n\n The largest company on the list of 50 was Apple Inc. $(AAPL)$, which had $52.91 billion in free cash flow in calendar 2017. The company's free cash flow increased to $80.22 billion in 2020, for a three-year CAGR of 14.9%. But Apple didn't make the top 10 list for 2003 -- it was ranked 14th. More about Apple below. \n\n\n Here are the 10 S&P 500 companies from the list described above with the highest free-cash-flow CAGR for three years through 2020. The annual data is in millions of dollars: \n\n\n You can scroll the table to see how each company's free cash flow increased or declined over the past three years. The CAGR calculation only uses the 2020 and 2017 year-end numbers. \n\n\n Amazon.com Inc. $(AMZN)$ was way out in front for three-year FCF CAGR through 2020 among the 50 companies in the S&P 500 with the highest FCF at the end of 2017. You can see below that it ranked second on the five-year list. \n\n\n For three years, Verizon Communications Inc. $(VZ)$ ranked second, with CVS Health Corp. $(CVS.AU)$ in third place. \n\n\n CVS underlines the imperfection of any one-point stock screen. The company made the three- and five-year lists because of the increase in cash flow from its transformative acquisition of Aetna in November 2018. After a few more years, it will be interesting to see how rapidly the combined company is able to grow its cash flow from a 2019 baseline. \n\n\n After the five-year list, there are more comments about companies that made the top 10 for both periods. \n\n\n Five-year cash flow winners \n\n\n For the five-year free-cash-flow CAGR ranking we began with the 50 companies in the S&P 500 Index with the highest free cash flow for calendar 2015, and then ranked them by FCF CAGR for three years through 2020. \n\n\n During calendar 2015, Apple had the highest free cash flow of $63.37 billion among S&P 500 companies. That's much higher than the company's $52.91 billion in FCF in 2017. It also explains why the company's five-year FCF CAGR through 2020 was only 4.8% and why its three-year CAGR was so much higher at 14.9%. This illustrates the importance of seeing the data for each year, even though the CAGR calculations only make use of the starting and ending data points. \n\n\n Here are the five-year CAGR winners, including the FCF figures for six years that you can see if you scroll the table: \n\n\n Facebook Inc. (FB) is the five-year winner, increasing its free cash flow to $23.63 billion in 2020 from $6.08 billion in 2015 for a CAGR of 31.2%. The company was ranked 19th for three-year FCF CAGR. \n\n\n Amazon ranked second for five-year CAGR and was one of several companies making both the five- and three-year top-10 lists: \n\n\n As explained above, any stock screen based on one element has its limits. It is very important to do your own research and form your own opinion before committing to any investment. \n\n\n Don't miss: Amazon is a cheap stock for long-term investors.

(TWTR), which he co-founded in 2006.PayPal said in its 2020 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that 13% of its revenue for the year came from customers on eBay's Marketplace platform. It also said that no other revenue source represented more than 10% of the whole.PayPal makes it easy to do payments online through its secure digital wallet -- a user simply signs into their PayPal account to make a payment to the merchant from a bank account or credit card. The purchaser doesn't need to provide any financial information to the merchant.During 2020, 93% of PayPal's revenue came from transactions, with the rest from \"other value-added services,\" a category that has declined over the past two full years.Square offers what it calls a \"cohesive commerce ecosystem,\" which includes hardware and software, to help merchants process point-of-sale transactions and online transactions. Square also has Cash App, which helps individual users, businesses and organizations transfer money or bitcoin through the app or by email.\"Customers can also use their stored funds to buy and sell bitcoin and equity investments within Cash App,\" according to Square's first-quarter 10-Q report .Here's a comparison of quarterly and annual transaction volume for the two companies, with figures in millions:PayPal has a much larger payment-processing business than Square, and recently, its quarterly and annual transaction volumes have grown more rapidly.Key metricsSize, revenue and profitHere is a comparison of the companies' market capitalizations and GAAP net revenue figures for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020:GAAP stands for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, under which Square's revenue from its bitcoin holdings has caused the company's total revenue to balloon. Here's Square's more detailed revenue breakdown:This illustrates why an investor considering an individual stock has to take a closer look to form their own opinion.Here's what Square had to say about its revenue reporting in its first-quarter shareholder letter :We deduct bitcoin revenue because our role is to facilitate customers' access to bitcoin. When customers buy bitcoin through Cash App, we only apply a small margin to the market cost of bitcoin, which tends to be volatile and outside our control. Therefore, we believe bitcoin gross profit better reflects the economic benefits as well as our performance from these transactions.More from Square's shareholder letter:While bitcoin revenue was $3.51 billion in the first quarter of 2021, up approximately 11x year over year, bitcoin gross profit was only $75 million, or approximately 2% of bitcoin revenue.So Square's adjusted net revenue for the first quarter was $1.55 billion, increasing 44% from the year-earlier quarter.Read:A bitcoin battle of the billionaires ensues as Jack Dorsey faces off with Musk on 'green' merits of world's No. 1 cryptoExcitement for bitcoin caused the spike in revenue for Square, as its Cash App users participated in the eightfold increase in the cryptocurrency's price in dollars over the 12 months through March 31.Here's a comparison of gross profits (earnings before operating expenses) and operating profits (earnings before interest and taxes) for PayPal and Square for the first quarters of 2021 and 2020:PayPal has the larger payment-processing business, by far, while Square is growing its profits more quickly. Despite Square's point that it derives a relatively small portion of its profits from bitcoin revenue, the massive amount of revenue from bitcoin transactions, including customers' trades through Cash App, show the potential of this type of customer activity.Returns on common equity and invested capitalThese returns can give some insight into how well a management team deploys capital:Return on invested capital is earnings divided by combined debt and equity. It is a measure of capital allocation efficiency and can be useful when comparing companies that are similar. In this case, none of these numbers are bad -- both companies are still growing their businesses in a dynamic environment.Earnings estimates to 2025Here are the actual earnings-per-share results for 2020 with consensus estimates among analysts polled by FactSet going out to 2025:Here are estimated annual percentage increases in EPS based on the above, plus an estimated five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR):That five-year CAGR for Square is bumped up by the expected EPS breakout in 2021. But if we run a four-year EPS CAGR from 2021 through 2025, the results are 21% for PayPal and 46% for Square. Both are impressive, but Square comes out on top if analysts' estimates are close to accurate. This helps explain the much higher forward price-to-earnings ratio for Square that you can see further down.Cash flowIn the modern economy, many investors believe free cash flow -- remaining cash flow after planned capital expenditures -- is a critically important measure. One reason for this is that so many one-time non-cash items can affect EPS. Another is that free cash flow can be deployed through business expansion, acquisitions, share buybacks dividends or other actions that will presumably be good for shareholders.Square has had negative free cash flow $(FCF)$ for two of the past four quarters, which isn't surprising, as the company emphasizes growing its business. So it may be most useful to look ahead. FactSet has consensus estimates for FCF per share going out to 2023:Again, the analysts expect great things from both companies, especially Square.Stock valuation and performanceHere are forward price-to-earnings and price-to-sales ratios based on consensus estimates for the next 12 months, along with total return figures:Those are high valuations to expected earnings and sales. Then again, that has been par for the course for the most rapidly growing tech-oriented stocks over the past several years.Wall Street's opinionPayPal has more \"buy\" ratings among Wall Street analysts polled by FactSet, but Square as the more aggressive price target:Even though the analysts provide earnings estimates going many years out, their share-price targets are for 12 months, per tradition. This is where you need to think about what \"long term\" means to you as an investor. One year can be considered a short period for some long-term investors, who are looking to compound large gains over three- to five-year periods.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":157,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385274950,"gmtCreate":1613559808070,"gmtModify":1634553162959,"author":{"id":"3571051291574870","authorId":"3571051291574870","name":"BigBoss24","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/326ae33497fcaa7276c4d80c19242bfc","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571051291574870","authorIdStr":"3571051291574870"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/385274950","repostId":"1146471319","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1146471319","pubTimestamp":1613530073,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1146471319?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-17 10:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon Completes Purchase of Shopify Competitor Selz","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146471319","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Web retailing giant had formed team to study Shopify amid growing competition for smaller merchants ","content":"<p>Web retailing giant had formed team to study Shopify amid growing competition for smaller merchants creating online stores</p>\n<p>Amazon . com Inc. said it has acquired Australian e-commerce company Selz, in a deal that underscores an increased focus on fast-growing rival Shopify Inc.</p>\n<p>Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
