the price action heading into the new year will be closely monitored — especially given the relatively light economic data and earnings calendar for the coming days.</p>\n<p>The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is entering the period known for ushering in the so-called Santa Claus Rally, or seasonally strong timeframe for stocks at the end of each year.</p>\n<p>The term, coined by Stock Trader's Almanac in the 1970s, encompasses the final five trading days of the year and first two sessions of the new year. This year, that Santa Claus Rally window is set to start on Monday, Dec. 27 — or the latest a Santa Claus rally has started in 11 years, due to the timing of the holidays this year.</p>\n<p>According to data from LPL Financial, the Santa Claus Rally period encapsulates the seven days most likely to be higher in any given year. Since 1950, the Santa Claus Rally period has produced a positive return for the S&P 500 78.9% of the time, with an average return of 1.33%.</p>\n<p>“Why are these seven days so strong?” wrote Ryan Detrick, LPL Financial chief market strategist, in a note. “Whether optimism over a coming new year, holiday spending, traders on vacation, institutions squaring up their books — or the holiday spirit — the bottom line is that bulls tend to believe in Santa.”</p>\n<p>And if history is any indication, the absence of a Santa Claus Rally has also typically served as a harbinger of lower near-term returns.</p>\n<p>\"Going back to the mid-1990s, there have been only six times Santa failed to show in December. January was lower five of those six times, and the full year had a solid gain only once (in 2016, but a mini-bear market early in the year),\" Detrick added.</p>\n<p>“Considering the bear markets of 2000 and 2008 both took place after <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the rare instances that Santa failed to show makes believers out of us,\" he said. A bear market typically refers to when stocks drop at least 20% from recent record highs. \"Should this seasonally strong period miss the mark, it could be a warning sign.\"</p>\n<p>And this year, investors do have considerable additional concerns to mull heading into the new year. Though stocks closed out Thursday's session at fresh record highs before the long holiday weekend, December still marked a volatile month to start, with renewed concerns over the Omicron variant and the potential for tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve weighing on risk assets. Plus, prospects for more near-term fiscal support via the Biden administration's Build Back Better bill have dwindled, and inflation concerns spiked further. Last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — rose at a 4.7% year-over-year clip, or the fastest since 1983.</p>\n<p>\"If the U.S. was not battling the Omicron variant, U.S. stocks would be dancing higher as the Santa Claus Rally would have kept the climb going into uncharted territory,\" Edward Moya, chief market strategist at OANDA, wrote in a note last week. \"It is too early to say for sure if we will get a Santa Claus Rally, but given all the short-term risks of Fed tightening, Chinese weakness, fiscal support uncertainty and COVID, Wall Street is not complaining.\"</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1279eeacff5d764e6ff5b3e8f7a24f49\" tg-width=\"4000\" tg-height=\"2667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>A man in a Santa Claus costume gestures on the floor at the closing bell of the Dow Industrial Average at the New York Stock Exchange on December 5, 2019 in New York.

Citi analyst James Ainley is kicking off the new trading week by initiating coverage of <b>Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings</b> (NYSE:NCLH) with a bullish buy rating, just as he's downgrading shares of larger rival <b>Carnival</b> (NYSE:CCL) (NYSE:CUK).</p>\n<p>There's a method to the madness. Ainley feels that Norwegian Cruise Line is better positioned to cash in on where the recovery stands for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the hardest-hit niches of the travel industry. He feels that the recovery is favoring premium cruise lines given industry pricing trends heading into next summer. Carnival operates some high-end cruise lines, but its namesake brand is priced aggressively as the mass-market leader of the cruising industry. Carnival's flagship brand is often the haven for first-time cruisers and folks looking for the best deals in affordable cruising. Norwegian Cruise Line and <b>Royal Caribbean</b> (NYSE:RCL) tend to land slightly higher on the pricing spectrum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F648179%2Fgettycruisecouples.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"482\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Passing ships</h2>\n<p>Ainley downgrading Carnival stock from buy to neutral -- while slashing his price target from $34 to $24.50 -- isn't a call to sell the stock. However, downgrading the shares on the same day he initiates coverage of Norwegian Cruise Line with a buy rating is clearly a mandate on where he feels investors should place their recovery bets. His fresh $39 price target on Norwegian Cruise Line represents a hefty 53% gain from where the shares started the week. The lower-price goal on Carnival is just 10% higher than where the stock was at the end of last week.</p>\n<p>It's not just the market favoring premium cruise brands at the moment, a call that would also seem to favor Royal Caribbean even if Ainley's Monday moves centered around the country's largest and third-largest cruise line operators. Pitting Norwegian to Carnival finds the former better positioned in terms of ship pipeline, earnings quality, and valuation at this point. Carnival has taken a more defensive approach, unloading some of the older ships on its fleet. Carnival also has fewer new ships on the way as a percentage of its current fleet.</p>\n<p>There's no denying that the cruising industry has had a challenging restart process. Plans to start sailing again this summer that seemed so ambitious earlier this year proved problematic as the peak travel season played out. However, after a brutal 2020 for the industry, one would think that the three cruise line stocks would be beneficiaries of pandemic-tackling vaccinations that became widely available in 2021.

Citi analyst James Ainley is kicking off the new trading week by initiating coverage of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:NCLH) with a bullish buy rating, just as he's downgrading shares of larger rival Carnival (NYSE:CCL) (NYSE:CUK).\nThere's a method to the madness. Ainley feels that Norwegian Cruise Line is better positioned to cash in on where the recovery stands for one of the hardest-hit niches of the travel industry. He feels that the recovery is favoring premium cruise lines given industry pricing trends heading into next summer. Carnival operates some high-end cruise lines, but its namesake brand is priced aggressively as the mass-market leader of the cruising industry. Carnival's flagship brand is often the haven for first-time cruisers and folks looking for the best deals in affordable cruising. Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) tend to land slightly higher on the pricing spectrum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPassing ships\nAinley downgrading Carnival stock from buy to neutral -- while slashing his price target from $34 to $24.50 -- isn't a call to sell the stock. However, downgrading the shares on the same day he initiates coverage of Norwegian Cruise Line with a buy rating is clearly a mandate on where he feels investors should place their recovery bets. His fresh $39 price target on Norwegian Cruise Line represents a hefty 53% gain from where the shares started the week. The lower-price goal on Carnival is just 10% higher than where the stock was at the end of last week.\nIt's not just the market favoring premium cruise brands at the moment, a call that would also seem to favor Royal Caribbean even if Ainley's Monday moves centered around the country's largest and third-largest cruise line operators. Pitting Norwegian to Carnival finds the former better positioned in terms of ship pipeline, earnings quality, and valuation at this point. Carnival has taken a more defensive approach, unloading some of the older ships on its fleet. Carnival also has fewer new ships on the way as a percentage of its current fleet.\nThere's no denying that the cruising industry has had a challenging restart process. Plans to start sailing again this summer that seemed so ambitious earlier this year proved problematic as the peak travel season played out. However, after a brutal 2020 for the industry, one would think that the three cruise line stocks would be beneficiaries of pandemic-tackling vaccinations that became widely available in 2021. It hasn't worked out that way, and all but Royal Caribbean have been treading water in terms of year-to-date shareholder gains.\n\nRoyal Caribbean is up 13.3% this year.\nCarnival stock climbed 2.9% in 2021.\nNorwegian Cruise Line has inched 0.2% higher.\n\nRoyal Caribbean was the top gainer last year, too.\nThe climate is getting kinder. Regulatory hurdles have been largely cleared now. International travel restrictions are starting to ease as global vaccination rates improve and active COVID-19 case counts recede. It's not necessarily smooth sailing for the cruise line stocks. We've seen some false starts in the pandemic's recovery process. However, next summer will likely be far kinder to the industry than this deficit-saddled year. The water may still be rough, but the long-term prospects for all three cruise lines are promising.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":141,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":829992958,"gmtCreate":1633448242926,"gmtModify":1633448310586,"author":{"id":"3574366140033208","authorId":"3574366140033208","name":"EdwardChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/829992958","repostId":"2173151439","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2173151439","pubTimestamp":1633447560,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2173151439?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-05 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Peloton Stock Is Becoming a Value","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2173151439","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This exercise equipment maker's stock price is down, but not out.","content":"<p>Share prices of <b>Peloton Interactive</b> (NASDAQ:PTON) are 51% off all-time highs set in mid-January, caught up in an investing trend that instead favors COVID-19 recovery stocks. It hasn't helped that management has made some missteps with its Tread recall, which lost the company a fair amount of goodwill with customers and investors back in April.</p>\n<p>But if we take a step back and look at Peloton as a growth stock, the long-term story is still strong. The company's user base is growing, its product lineup is expanding, and financial performance is getting better. Here's why I think this stock could be a value in today's market.</p>\n<h2>Subscriptions are the key</h2>\n<p>If Peloton is going to be successful as a company, it won't be because it makes or sells bikes. It'll be because it generates growing, high-margin subscription revenue. And on that front, the company is doing very well.</p>\n<p>Subscription revenue was up 132% year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter to $281.6 million, and gross profit from subscriptions was up 159% to $178.1 million.</p>\n<p>The subscription business is also a big reason the company's move into corporate wellness and hotel and resort settings is so important. Peloton has been able to attract millions of active members, but reaching new customers who are allowing others to use their Peloton equipment and subscriptions at rental locations can be another way to leverage the company's equipment and content base.</p>\n<h2>Expanding on a strong core</h2>\n<p>In fiscal 2018, Peloton was almost entirely a stationary cycling company, with cycling accounting for about 85% of the company's workouts. But in the past three years, the company has expanded how people use its products. Strength programs are now about 20% of workouts, and floor content is around 10%. Cycling is now less than 60% of the workouts done in any given year, and shrinking.</p>\n<p>I think this is a sign that Peloton is building a product that's attractive to more users and becoming stickier for subscribers. If Peloton has something for everyone, it's going to provide much more value to subscribers long-term.</p>\n<p>In time, we could even see Peloton slowly raise subscription prices because of the value it's providing.</p>\n<h2>Peloton has growth opportunities ahead</h2>\n<p>After acquiring its own manufacturing facility in the U.S., Peloton now has more control of not only manufacturing and inventory but also new product development. We know a new Tread is on the way, and improved bikes are likely as well.</p>\n<p>I think Peloton could also expand into home strength equipment and even wearables. Peloton is already a critical fitness tool for members, so why not deepen that relationship?</p>\n<p>The company has a lot of opportunities to expand its product footprint and engage even more with customers. As it does, the incremental benefit to users from more digital content makes a Peloton subscription that much more valuable.</p>\n<h2>The growth story isn't over</h2>\n<p>There are a number of potential threats to Peloton's business, from <b>Apple</b>'s growing suite of fitness content to the reopening of gyms around the world. But I think the content library that Peloton has built along with the installed base of bikes and treadmills will make this a formidable fitness company for years. Remember that the value of Peloton is in the number of users subscribing to and using the company's workout content -- and with 459.7 million workouts done by Peloton customers in the last year, this is a workout company that has a huge lead over the competition in at-home workouts.</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>Why Peloton Stock Is Becoming a Value</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\">\nWhy Peloton Stock Is Becoming a Value\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-05 23:26 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/10/05/why-peloton-stock-is-now-a-value/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Share prices of Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON) are 51% off all-time highs set in mid-January, caught up in an investing trend that instead favors COVID-19 recovery stocks.

2001","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170376971","media":"Reuters","summary":"TORONTO, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Sun Life Financial said it will acquire U.S. dental benefits provider Den","content":"<p>TORONTO, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Sun Life Financial said it will acquire U.S. dental benefits provider DentaQuest for $2.48 billion in its biggest deal in two decades, becoming the latest cashed-up Canadian insurance company pursuing growth outside its home market.</p>\n<p>The deal to acquire the United States' second-largest dental benefits provider, with more than 33 million members, will add about $100 million to its U.S. underlying income in its first full-year after closing, executives at Canada's second-largest life insurer said on an analyst call on Monday.</p>\n<p>Sun Life announced the deal late on Sunday.</p>\n<p>It is the biggest acquisition since Sun Life bought Clarica Life Insurance, from where Chief Executive Kevin Strain joined the company, for C$7.3 billion ($5.8 billion) in 2002, according to a spokeswoman.</p>\n<p>Sun Life shares rose 1.7% to C$66.20 in morning trading in Toronto, compared with a 0.4% decline in the stock benchmark .</p>\n<p>After synergies, expected to be $60 million, the firm is expected to add 24 Canadian cents to underlying earnings per share and 50 basis points to its return on equity, Canaccord Genuity analyst Scott Chan said, adding the transaction is \"expected to support Sun Life's peer-leading ROE metrics.\"</p>\n<p>The deal follows a slew of other acquisitions in recent years by Canadian life insurers, who, facing limited growth at home and holding record levels of capital, pursue deals overseas, particularly in the United States recently.</p>\n<p>Great-West Lifeco was the latest, agreeing in July to pay C$4.45 billion to buy Prudential Financial Inc's full-service retirement business.</p>\n<p>Sun Life itself has been expanding in the U.S. group benefits business, albeit with smaller deals, including that of U.S. medical intelligence and health-care navigation provider PinnacleCare and benefits platform Maxwell Health https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sun-life-financial-acquires-maxwell-health-300659355.html.</p>\n<p>It had previously flagged an appetite to grow its group benefits and stop-loss business, which protects against unpredictable losses.</p>\n<p>The deal gives Sun Life the \"flexibility to maneuver\" in future and make additional investments, particularly as it seeks to expand its pharmacy stop-loss business as well as to take advantage of potential expansions of health care services and funding in the U.S., executives said on the call.</p>\n<p>Sun Life will incur transaction and integration costs of $250 million, the executives said.</p>","source":"lsy1612507957220","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Oct 4 (Reuters) - Sun Life Financial said it will acquire U.S. dental benefits provider DentaQuest for $2.48 billion in its biggest deal in two decades, becoming the latest cashed-up Canadian insurance company pursuing growth outside its home market.\nThe deal to acquire the United States' second-largest dental benefits provider, with more than 33 million members, will add about $100 million to its U.S. underlying income in its first full-year after closing, executives at Canada's second-largest life insurer said on an analyst call on Monday.\nSun Life announced the deal late on Sunday.\nIt is the biggest acquisition since Sun Life bought Clarica Life Insurance, from where Chief Executive Kevin Strain joined the company, for C$7.3 billion ($5.8 billion) in 2002, according to a spokeswoman.\nSun Life shares rose 1.7% to C$66.20 in morning trading in Toronto, compared with a 0.4% decline in the stock benchmark .\nAfter synergies, expected to be $60 million, the firm is expected to add 24 Canadian cents to underlying earnings per share and 50 basis points to its return on equity, Canaccord Genuity analyst Scott Chan said, adding the transaction is \"expected to support Sun Life's peer-leading ROE metrics.\"\nThe deal follows a slew of other acquisitions in recent years by Canadian life insurers, who, facing limited growth at home and holding record levels of capital, pursue deals overseas, particularly in the United States recently.\nGreat-West Lifeco was the latest, agreeing in July to pay C$4.45 billion to buy Prudential Financial Inc's full-service retirement business.\nSun Life itself has been expanding in the U.S. group benefits business, albeit with smaller deals, including that of U.S. medical intelligence and health-care navigation provider PinnacleCare and benefits platform Maxwell Health https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sun-life-financial-acquires-maxwell-health-300659355.html.\nIt had previously flagged an appetite to grow its group benefits and stop-loss business, which protects against unpredictable losses.\nThe deal gives Sun Life the \"flexibility to maneuver\" in future and make additional investments, particularly as it seeks to expand its pharmacy stop-loss business as well as to take advantage of potential expansions of health care services and funding in the U.S., executives said on the call.\nSun Life will incur transaction and integration costs of $250 million, the executives said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":696363761,"gmtCreate":1640619285764,"gmtModify":1640619285989,"author":{"id":"3574366140033208","authorId":"3574366140033208","name":"EdwardChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/696363761","repostId":"2194177239","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2194177239","pubTimestamp":1640559609,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2194177239?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-27

1970s, encompasses the final five trading days of the year and first two sessions of the new year. This year, that Santa Claus Rally window is set to start on Monday, Dec. 27 — or the latest a Santa Claus rally has started in 11 years, due to the timing of the holidays this year.</p>\n<p>According to data from LPL Financial, the Santa Claus Rally period encapsulates the seven days most likely to be higher in any given year. Since 1950, the Santa Claus Rally period has produced a positive return for the S&P 500 78.9% of the time, with an average return of 1.33%.</p>\n<p>“Why are these seven days so strong?” wrote Ryan Detrick, LPL Financial chief market strategist, in a note. “Whether optimism over a coming new year, holiday spending, traders on vacation, institutions squaring up their books — or the holiday spirit — the bottom line is that bulls tend to believe in Santa.”</p>\n<p>And if history is any indication, the absence of a Santa Claus Rally has also typically served as a harbinger of lower near-term returns.</p>\n<p>\"Going back to the mid-1990s, there have been only six times Santa failed to show in December.

Plus, prospects for more near-term fiscal support via the Biden administration's Build Back Better bill have dwindled, and inflation concerns spiked further. Last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — rose at a 4.7% year-over-year clip, or the fastest since 1983.</p>\n<p>\"If the U.S. was not battling the Omicron variant, U.S. stocks would be dancing higher as the Santa Claus Rally would have kept the climb going into uncharted territory,\" Edward Moya, chief market strategist at OANDA, wrote in a note last week. \"It is too early to say for sure if we will get a Santa Claus Rally, but given all the short-term risks of Fed tightening, Chinese weakness, fiscal support uncertainty and COVID, Wall Street is not complaining.\"</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1279eeacff5d764e6ff5b3e8f7a24f49\" tg-width=\"4000\" tg-height=\"2667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>A man in a Santa Claus costume gestures on the floor at the closing bell of the Dow Industrial Average at the New York Stock Exchange on December 5, 2019 in New York.

Citi analyst James Ainley is kicking off the new trading week by initiating coverage of <b>Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings</b> (NYSE:NCLH) with a bullish buy rating, just as he's downgrading shares of larger rival <b>Carnival</b> (NYSE:CCL) (NYSE:CUK).</p>\n<p>There's a method to the madness. Ainley feels that Norwegian Cruise Line is better positioned to cash in on where the recovery stands for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the hardest-hit niches of the travel industry. He feels that the recovery is favoring premium cruise lines given industry pricing trends heading into next summer. Carnival operates some high-end cruise lines, but its namesake brand is priced aggressively as the mass-market leader of the cruising industry. Carnival's flagship brand is often the haven for first-time cruisers and folks looking for the best deals in affordable cruising. Norwegian Cruise Line and <b>Royal Caribbean</b> (NYSE:RCL) tend to land slightly higher on the pricing spectrum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F648179%2Fgettycruisecouples.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"482\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Passing ships</h2>\n<p>Ainley downgrading Carnival stock from buy to neutral -- while slashing his price target from $34 to $24.50 -- isn't a call to sell the stock. However, downgrading the shares on the same day he initiates coverage of Norwegian Cruise Line with a buy rating is clearly a mandate on where he feels investors should place their recovery bets. His fresh $39 price target on Norwegian Cruise Line represents a hefty 53% gain from where the shares started the week. The lower-price goal on Carnival is just 10% higher than where the stock was at the end of last week.</p>\n<p>It's not just the market favoring premium cruise brands at the moment, a call that would also seem to favor Royal Caribbean even if Ainley's Monday moves centered around the country's largest and third-largest cruise line operators. Pitting Norwegian to Carnival finds the former better positioned in terms of ship pipeline, earnings quality, and valuation at this point. Carnival has taken a more defensive approach, unloading some of the older ships on its fleet. Carnival also has fewer new ships on the way as a percentage of its current fleet.</p>\n<p>There's no denying that the cruising industry has had a challenging restart process. Plans to start sailing again this summer that seemed so ambitious earlier this year proved problematic as the peak travel season played out. However, after a brutal 2020 for the industry, one would think that the three cruise line stocks would be beneficiaries of pandemic-tackling vaccinations that became widely available in 2021. It hasn't worked out that way, and all but Royal Caribbean have been treading water in terms of year-to-date shareholder gains.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Royal Caribbean is up 13.3% this year.</li>\n <li>Carnival stock climbed 2.9% in 2021.</li>\n <li>Norwegian Cruise Line has inched 0.2% higher.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Royal Caribbean was the top gainer last year, too.</p>\n<p>The climate <i>is</i> getting kinder. Regulatory hurdles have been largely cleared now. International travel restrictions are starting to ease as global vaccination rates improve and active COVID-19 case counts recede.

Citi analyst James Ainley is kicking off the new trading week by initiating coverage of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE:NCLH) with a bullish buy rating, just as he's downgrading shares of larger rival Carnival (NYSE:CCL) (NYSE:CUK).\nThere's a method to the madness. Ainley feels that Norwegian Cruise Line is better positioned to cash in on where the recovery stands for one of the hardest-hit niches of the travel industry. He feels that the recovery is favoring premium cruise lines given industry pricing trends heading into next summer. Carnival operates some high-end cruise lines, but its namesake brand is priced aggressively as the mass-market leader of the cruising industry. Carnival's flagship brand is often the haven for first-time cruisers and folks looking for the best deals in affordable cruising. Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) tend to land slightly higher on the pricing spectrum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPassing ships\nAinley downgrading Carnival stock from buy to neutral -- while slashing his price target from $34 to $24.50 -- isn't a call to sell the stock. However, downgrading the shares on the same day he initiates coverage of Norwegian Cruise Line with a buy rating is clearly a mandate on where he feels investors should place their recovery bets. His fresh $39 price target on Norwegian Cruise Line represents a hefty 53% gain from where the shares started the week. The lower-price goal on Carnival is just 10% higher than where the stock was at the end of last week.\nIt's not just the market favoring premium cruise brands at the moment, a call that would also seem to favor Royal Caribbean even if Ainley's Monday moves centered around the country's largest and third-largest cruise line operators. Pitting Norwegian to Carnival finds the former better positioned in terms of ship pipeline, earnings quality, and valuation at this point. Carnival has taken a more defensive approach, unloading some of the older ships on its fleet. Carnival also has fewer new ships on the way as a percentage of its current fleet.\nThere's no denying that the cruising industry has had a challenging restart process. Plans to start sailing again this summer that seemed so ambitious earlier this year proved problematic as the peak travel season played out. However, after a brutal 2020 for the industry, one would think that the three cruise line stocks would be beneficiaries of pandemic-tackling vaccinations that became widely available in 2021. It hasn't worked out that way, and all but Royal Caribbean have been treading water in terms of year-to-date shareholder gains.\n\nRoyal Caribbean is up 13.3% this year.\nCarnival stock climbed 2.9% in 2021.\nNorwegian Cruise Line has inched 0.2% higher.\n\nRoyal Caribbean was the top gainer last year, too.\nThe climate is getting kinder. Regulatory hurdles have been largely cleared now. International travel restrictions are starting to ease as global vaccination rates improve and active COVID-19 case counts recede. It's not necessarily smooth sailing for the cruise line stocks. We've seen some false starts in the pandemic's recovery process. However, next summer will likely be far kinder to the industry than this deficit-saddled year. The water may still be rough, but the long-term prospects for all three cruise lines are promising.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":141,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":829992958,"gmtCreate":1633448242926,"gmtModify":1633448310586,"author":{"id":"3574366140033208","authorId":"3574366140033208","name":"EdwardChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/829992958","repostId":"2173151439","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2173151439","pubTimestamp":1633447560,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2173151439?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-05 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Peloton Stock Is Becoming a Value","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2173151439","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This exercise equipment maker's stock price is down, but not out.","content":"<p>Share prices of <b>Peloton Interactive</b> (NASDAQ:PTON) are 51% off all-time highs set in mid-January, caught up in an investing trend that instead favors COVID-19 recovery stocks. It hasn't helped that management has made some missteps with its Tread recall, which lost the company a fair amount of goodwill with customers and investors back in April.</p>\n<p>But if we take a step back and look at Peloton as a growth stock, the long-term story is still strong. The company's user base is growing, its product lineup is expanding, and financial performance is getting better. Here's why I think this stock could be a value in today's market.</p>\n<h2>Subscriptions are the key</h2>\n<p>If Peloton is going to be successful as a company, it won't be because it makes or sells bikes. It'll be because it generates growing, high-margin subscription revenue. And on that front, the company is doing very well.</p>\n<p>Subscription revenue was up 132% year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter to $281.6 million, and gross profit from subscriptions was up 159% to $178.1 million.</p>\n<p>The subscription business is also a big reason the company's move into corporate wellness and hotel and resort settings is so important. Peloton has been able to attract millions of active members, but reaching new customers who are allowing others to use their Peloton equipment and subscriptions at rental locations can be another way to leverage the company's equipment and content base.</p>\n<h2>Expanding on a strong core</h2>\n<p>In fiscal 2018, Peloton was almost entirely a stationary cycling company, with cycling accounting for about 85% of the company's workouts. But in the past three years, the company has expanded how people use its products. Strength programs are now about 20% of workouts, and floor content is around 10%. Cycling is now less than 60% of the workouts done in any given year, and shrinking.</p>\n<p>I think this is a sign that Peloton is building a product that's attractive to more users and becoming stickier for subscribers. If Peloton has something for everyone, it's going to provide much more value to subscribers long-term.</p>\n<p>In time, we could even see Peloton slowly raise subscription prices because of the value it's providing.</p>\n<h2>Peloton has growth opportunities ahead</h2>\n<p>After acquiring its own manufacturing facility in the U.S., Peloton now has more control of not only manufacturing and inventory but also new product development. We know a new Tread is on the way, and improved bikes are likely as well.</p>\n<p>I think Peloton could also expand into home strength equipment and even wearables. Peloton is already a critical fitness tool for members, so why not deepen that relationship?</p>\n<p>The company has a lot of opportunities to expand its product footprint and engage even more with customers. As it does, the incremental benefit to users from more digital content makes a Peloton subscription that much more valuable.</p>\n<h2>The growth story isn't over</h2>\n<p>There are a number of potential threats to Peloton's business, from <b>Apple</b>'s growing suite of fitness content to the reopening of gyms around the world. But I think the content library that Peloton has built along with the installed base of bikes and treadmills will make this a formidable fitness company for years. Remember that the value of Peloton is in the number of users subscribing to and using the company's workout content -- and with 459.7 million workouts done by Peloton customers in the last year, this is a workout company that has a huge lead over the competition in at-home workouts.</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>Why Peloton Stock Is Becoming a Value</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\">\nWhy Peloton Stock Is Becoming a Value\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-05 23:26 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/10/05/why-peloton-stock-is-now-a-value/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Share prices of Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON) are 51% off all-time highs set in mid-January, caught up in an investing trend that instead favors COVID-19 recovery stocks.
