Her ARK Invest fund’s ARK Innovation ETF is loaded with growth-oriented pandemic-era winners but as anyone following the stock market’s trajectory will know, the tables have turned on stocks of that ilk. And the result is that the ARKK ETF is now down by a huge 65% in 2022.Does that mean Wood is ready to desert her strategy of backing innovative yet risky and often unprofitable names in search of safer havens? No, is the short answer.Wood not only points out that ARKK stocks have been growing at a faster pace than those of the Nasdaq 100 – ~31% revenue growth year-over-year vs. ~16% growth in the trailing four quarters as of the end of Q2 – and so have the “added wherewithal to accommodate investments in the future.”“Nonetheless,” says Wood, “the market is paying little for what we believe is superior growth potential.”And against a backdrop of rising interest rates that have reduced the current value of future cash flows, the value of “pure-play innovation strategies” has declined by 50-90% over the past 18 months, a turn of events in which the “equity markets seem to have bowed to GAAP EBITDA and shifted toward defensive low-growth strategies.”But Wood thinks that’s the wrong way to go about investing and that the tides will turn again.“We believe GAAP EBITDA falls short when measuring the longer-term growth and profitability profile of early stage, rapidly growing, innovative companies,” she said. “In our view, the long-term profitability and equity performance of so-called ‘profitless tech’ companies will dwarf those of companies that have catered to short-term oriented shareholders with share repurchases and dividends, at the expense of investing in the future.”Is Wood right? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we’ve decided to take a look at the fund’s top two holdings to see why she’s so confident they are long-term winners. We’ve also opened up the TipRanks database to find out whether the Street’s experts are in agreement. Let’s check the results.Zoom Video Communications (ZM)Taking the first spot and accounting for 9.36% of the ARKK ETF with a value of more than $605 million is that most pandemic-era of stocks, Zoom Video Communications.You don’t have to be an avid follower of the stock market to know the Zoom story. A niche video conferencing product at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the advent of global lockdowns, it quickly turned into a ubiquitous tool used by millions worldwide – from businesses to families to education bodies. As a result, the stock soared to incredible heights during 2020, but as has happened to so many, the comedown has been vicious. Shares sit 90% below the highs of October 2020 and have shed 64% this year.That said, the company’s most recent report for the third fiscal quarter (October quarter) was a decent one. Revenue came in at $1.1 billion, representing a 4.8% year-over-year increase and meeting Street expectations. On the bottom-line, adj. EPS of $1.07 beat the analysts’ forecast of $0.83.The number of customers contributing over $100,000 in the trailing 12 months revenue – an important metric signifying the product’s popularity with big businesses – increased by 31% from the same period a year ago. However, the outlook fell short of expectations and the shares drifted south following the print as has been the case throughout most of 2022.Nevertheless, while MKM analyst Catharine Trebnick believes the company will need to prove its credentials in the current climate, she remains upbeat around its long-term potential.“In the difficult near-term macro environment, management will need to show strong execution on new solutions and go-to-market initiatives to compete effectively and stabilize the Online business. Longer term, we continue to believe that the company’s positioning in a large and underpenetrated market opportunity can drive sustainable growth in a normalized environment,” Trebnick opined.Trebnick’s confidence is conveyed by a Buy rating and a $100 price target. As such, the analyst sees shares climbing 53% higher over the coming year.Most on the Street, however, are not quite as confident as Trebnick or Wood. The stock boasts a Hold consensus rating, based on 15 Holds (i.e. Neutrals) vs. 7 Buys and 2 Sells. Still, most believe the shares are now undervalued; the $86.75 average target makes room for 12-month gains of 32.5%.Exact Sciences Corporation (EXAS)ARKK’s second biggest holding is a completely different kind of innovator. Taking up 8.68% of space in the ETF and a holding worth more than $561 million, Exact Sciences is a molecular diagnostics specialist focused on detecting early-stage cancers. The company boasts a portfolio of various testing products led by its flagship offering, Cologuard, which as one of the most reliable non-invasive CRC (colorectal cancer) screening tests, boasts a strong market position.In its most recent financial statement, for Q3, Exact Sciences put in a strong showing. Revenue climbed by 15% from the same period last year to $523.1 million, beating Wall Street’s forecast by $19.95 million. While the company posted a loss of $0.84 per share, the figure still managed to come in ahead of the -$1.07 anticipated by the analysts. Furthermore, the company raised its full-year revenue outlook to between $2.025 billion and $2.042 billion, $33 million higher at the midpoint than the prior forecast.The market liked the results, sending shares higher in the subsequent session and the stock got another boost more recently. Last week, cancer screening rival Guardant announced top-line data for a blood-based cancer screening test which was a bit of a letdown. As a competitor, that is good news for Exact Sciences.Among the bulls is Canaccord analyst Kyle Mikson who sees a string of catalysts ahead to boost the stock. He writes, “We believe 2023 will be another important year for data readouts that should remind investors (potentially a ‘wake-up call’) of Exact’s near-, medium- and long-term pipeline growth drivers… While peers are impacted by uncertain reimbursement and other issues, we believe these catalysts and the company’s relative stability should help drive EXAS valuation levels higher in 2023.”“Additionally,” Mikson further explained, “we believe Guardant Health’s recent readout of the ECLIPSE screening study for the company’s liquid biopsy test lifted an overhang from EXAS shares that should allow the stock to perform well based on the company’s solid fundamentals in 2023.”All of this prompted Mikson to rate EXAS stock a Buy, while his $70 price target makes room for 12-month gains of ~37%.Most of Mikson’s colleagues are thinking along the same lines; based on 9 Buy ratings vs. 3 Holds, the stock garners a Strong Buy consensus rating.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":114,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":621911554,"gmtCreate":1671805072678,"gmtModify":1671805076043,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It's off to his next group of leaders","listText":"It's off to his next group of leaders","text":"It's off to his next group of leaders","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/621911554","repostId":"2293588795","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2293588795","pubTimestamp":1671804074,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2293588795?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-12-23 22:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Isn't Warren Buffett Buying Alphabet (Google) Stock Hand Over Fist?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2293588795","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Buffett regrets not investing in Google earlier. He could experience regret in the future for not buying the stock now.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>What does Warren Buffett like in a stock? You could put a solid business moat high on the list. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HTM.AU\">High</a> returns on invested capital (ROIC) would be up there, too, as would an outstanding management team. And we can&#39;t leave out an attractive valuation.</p><p>Google parent<b> Alphabet</b> checks off all of those boxes and dominates its core search market. It&#39;s a strong challenger in others, as well, notably including cloud hosting. Alphabet&#39;s ROIC consistently trounces the levels generated by Buffett&#39;s own <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>. The company&#39;s CEO Sundar Pichai has an exceptional track record.</p><p>Then there&#39;s valuation. Alphabet stock has plunged nearly 40% year to date. It has never been this cheap, based on its projected future free cash flow. So why isn&#39;t Buffett buying Alphabet stock hand over fist?</p><h2>Buffett&#39;s initial hesitation</h2><p>There were several reasons why Buffett didn&#39;t initially buy what was then Google stock. Most importantly, he didn&#39;t think the company&#39;s business was within his circle of competence. Buffett has avoided many tech stocks for this very reason.</p><p>The legendary investor also wasn&#39;t sure about how sustainable Google&#39;s moat was. Years ago, it wasn&#39;t nearly as clear that Google would be as dominant over the long run in search as it ultimately became.</p><p>These factors undoubtedly made it challenging for Buffett to project Google&#39;s earnings and assess its valuation. He wrote to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders in 2013:</p><blockquote>We first have to decide whether we can sensibly estimate an earnings range for five years out, or more. If the answer is yes, we will buy the stock (or business) if it sells at a reasonable price in relation to the bottom boundary of our estimate. If, however, we lack the ability to estimate future earnings -- which is usually the case -- we simply move on to other prospects.</blockquote><p>Buffett followed this process with Google years ago. And using his own words, he moved on to other prospects.</p><h2>Then and now</h2><p>Does this past reluctance explain Buffett&#39;s current decision not to invest in what is now Alphabet? There&#39;s certainly an argument to be made that it shouldn&#39;t.</p><p>Back in 2017, Buffett told CNBC that he &#34;should have had better insight into Google.&#34; Berkshire&#39;s GEICO insurance was a heavy advertiser on the company&#39;s search engine. Buffett admitted that it was &#34;an extraordinary business&#34; that claimed &#34;some aspects of a natural monopoly.&#34;</p><p>Surely, the Oracle of Omaha understands Alphabet&#39;s business much better now than he did in the past. He has also gone along with his two investment managers, Ted Combs and Todd Weschler, in adding several tech stocks to Berkshire&#39;s portfolio, including <b>Amazon</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></b>.</p><p>However, it&#39;s quite possible that Buffett is still uneasy about projecting Alphabet&#39;s future earnings. The company&#39;s YouTube business is threatened, to some extent, by rivals such as TikTok. Some maintain that OpenAI&#39;s ChatGPT chatbot could be &#34;a Google killer.&#34;</p><h2>Toes in the water, head in the sand?</h2><p>Buffett does have his toes in the water with Alphabet. Earlier this year, Berkshire initiated a position in <b>Markel</b>, which is sometimes referred to as a &#34;baby Berkshire&#34; because of its similarities with Berkshire Hathaway. And it owns over 3.1 million shares of Alphabet.</p><p>But this indirect ownership obviously isn&#39;t in the same ballpark as Buffett buying Alphabet shares outright.

You could put a solid business moat high on the list. High returns on invested capital (ROIC) would be up there, too, as would an outstanding management team. And we can't leave out an attractive valuation.Google parent Alphabet checks off all of those boxes and dominates its core search market. It's a strong challenger in others, as well, notably including cloud hosting. Alphabet's ROIC consistently trounces the levels generated by Buffett's own Berkshire Hathaway. The company's CEO Sundar Pichai has an exceptional track record.Then there's valuation. Alphabet stock has plunged nearly 40% year to date. It has never been this cheap, based on its projected future free cash flow. So why isn't Buffett buying Alphabet stock hand over fist?Buffett's initial hesitationThere were several reasons why Buffett didn't initially buy what was then Google stock. Most importantly, he didn't think the company's business was within his circle of competence. Buffett has avoided many tech stocks for this very reason.The legendary investor also wasn't sure about how sustainable Google's moat was. Years ago, it wasn't nearly as clear that Google would be as dominant over the long run in search as it ultimately became.These factors undoubtedly made it challenging for Buffett to project Google's earnings and assess its valuation. He wrote to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders in 2013:We first have to decide whether we can sensibly estimate an earnings range for five years out, or more. If the answer is yes, we will buy the stock (or business) if it sells at a reasonable price in relation to the bottom boundary of our estimate. If, however, we lack the ability to estimate future earnings -- which is usually the case -- we simply move on to other prospects.Buffett followed this process with Google years ago. And using his own words, he moved on to other prospects.Then and nowDoes this past reluctance explain Buffett's current decision not to invest in what is now Alphabet? There's certainly an argument to be made that it shouldn't.Back in 2017, Buffett told CNBC that he \"should have had better insight into Google.\" Berkshire's GEICO insurance was a heavy advertiser on the company's search engine. Buffett admitted that it was \"an extraordinary business\" that claimed \"some aspects of a natural monopoly.\"Surely, the Oracle of Omaha understands Alphabet's business much better now than he did in the past. He has also gone along with his two investment managers, Ted Combs and Todd Weschler, in adding several tech stocks to Berkshire's portfolio, including Amazon and Snowflake.However, it's quite possible that Buffett is still uneasy about projecting Alphabet's future earnings. The company's YouTube business is threatened, to some extent, by rivals such as TikTok. Some maintain that OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot could be \"a Google killer.\"Toes in the water, head in the sand?Buffett does have his toes in the water with Alphabet. Earlier this year, Berkshire initiated a position in Markel, which is sometimes referred to as a \"baby Berkshire\" because of its similarities with Berkshire Hathaway. And it owns over 3.1 million shares of Alphabet.But this indirect ownership obviously isn't in the same ballpark as Buffett buying Alphabet shares outright. So why isn't he loading up on the stock?My view is that it's for the same reasons why he didn't buy the stock years ago. The company is still outside his circle of competence, which makes it hard for him to assess its valuation.What's more difficult to understand, though, is why Combs and Weschler haven't moved to invest in Alphabet. The company truly does check off a lot of boxes that they, like Buffett, like to see.TikTok and ChatGPT have a long way to go to even have a chance at knocking Alphabet off its perch. There's a real chance that TikTok could be banned in the U.S. Alphabet has its own AI chatbot, LaMDA, which some believe is more advanced than ChatGPT.Although Buffett has his toes in the water with Alphabet, his head (or the heads of his investment managers) could be in the sand. Now appears to be a once-in-a-decade opportunity to buy this exceptional stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":623398204,"gmtCreate":1671030945809,"gmtModify":1671030947415,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy","listText":"Buy","text":"Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/623398204","repostId":"2291701969","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":124,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":620461512,"gmtCreate":1669906747936,"gmtModify":1669906750182,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let's zoom","listText":"Let's zoom","text":"Let's zoom","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/620461512","repostId":"2288761253","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2288761253","pubTimestamp":1669803360,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2288761253?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-30 18:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Zoom Stock Zoomed Almost 7% Higher Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2288761253","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Investors were happy that the company has extended its winning streak with a well-known IT industry researcher.","content":"<html><body><div><h2>What happened</h2><p>A title conferred by a prominent tech industry researcher put some real zip in <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications</strong>' <span>(ZM<span> 6.89%</span>)</span> stock on Hump Day.

So it doesn't have the deep economic \"moat\" of many world-beating businesses.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":620273686,"gmtCreate":1669809881845,"gmtModify":1669809883453,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lots got accounts hacked n disabled","listText":"Lots got accounts hacked n disabled","text":"Lots got accounts hacked n disabled","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/620273686","repostId":"2287718455","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2287718455","pubTimestamp":1669807457,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2287718455?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-30 19:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Meta Platforms Stock a Buy?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2287718455","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The growth stock has run into a brick wall this year.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Few companies in the history of the stock market have undergone as dramatic of an implosion as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a>, the parent of Facebook and Instagram.</p><p>From its peak at $382.18 last September to its trough at $88.09 shortly after its recent earnings report, the tech giant lost 77%, or more than $750 billion in market cap.</p><p>In a little more than a year, Meta has gone from a fast-growing, highly profitable and dominant social media advertising machine to a business in the middle of a questionable pivot to the metaverse whose core social media enterprise is suddenly unraveling.</p><p>With that sell-off comes a potential opportunity as Meta shares certainly look cheap according to conventional metrics.

Most were walloped with higher interest rates, fears of aggressive rate hikes, geopolitical issues, economic concerns, and fed-up consumers. It chased even the sanest investors from the market.

Seeing that Warren Buffett is now worth about $108.2 billion, it’s a safe bet he knows a thing or two about safe investing.</p><p><b>Apple (AAPL)</b></p><p>With a diversified revenue stream, and an ability to adapt to new consumer trends, <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:<b>AAPL</b>) will always be one of the strong tech stocks to bet on. Even Warren Buffett once said he continues to invest in Apple because of its brand, ecosystem, and strong economic moat.</p><p>In addition, we have to consider that Apple is a global leader in innovation. Just look at the iPhone alone. First introduced to the public in 2007, it’s now one of the most popular mobile phones in the world, with a growing market share. Better, earnings have been solid.</p><p>The company just beat expectations on revenue and profits, and it showed that global demand for its products is still high. In its fourth quarter, the company’s revenue was up 8% to $90 billion. Mac sales were up 25% to $11.5 billion in the quarter. iPhone sales were up 10% to $42.6 billion. Operating income was up by 5% to $25 billion. EPS was up 4% to $1.29, putting it above expectations for $1.27.</p><p>Also, analysts, such as Deutsche Bank’s Sidney Ho, say Apple is trading at a reasonable valuation and has a buy rating with a price target of $175. Apple also carries a dividend yield of 0.66%, and it’s been aggressive with stock buybacks.</p><p><b>Tech Stocks: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)</b></p><p><b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ: <b>AMD</b>) was butchered for most of the year. But that’ll happen when most of the tech stock sector is dragging just about everything lower. However, after falling from about $150 to a low of about $60, the AMD stock is showing strong signs of life. With patience, I’d like to see the AMD stock run from its current price of $75.25 to $120 in the near term.</p><p>Analysts like the AMD stock, too. UBS upgraded AMD to a buy rating with a price target of $95 a share. Baird analyst Tristan Gerra also just upgraded the beaten-down tech name to outperform with a price target of $100. He believes the company’s newest Genoa chips could widen the company’s competitive moat. Credit Suisse analyst Chris Caso also initiated coverage of AMD with an outperform rating, with a price target of $90.</p><p>Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar is also overweight on the stock, with a price target of $90. He added that earnings appear to be bottoming and that PC inventory should start to clear out in the early part of 2023. In addition, he believes AMD is a great way to trade the server uptrend and cloud strength.</p><p><b>Tech Stocks: Nvidia (NVDA)</b></p><p>While <b>Nvidia</b> (NASDAQ:<b>NVDA</b>) was cut in half this year, it’s still one quality, safe name investors can count on. For one, the company makes the chips that are used to power some of the world’s most advanced technologies, including gaming, supercomputing, the cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality, autonomous driving, etc. Again, NVDA was destroyed in 2022. But it’s still a high-quality name to count on.</p><p>Better, it’s also getting a jump on the Industrial Omniverse, which is already being used by major companies, like <b>Lowe’s</b> (NYSE:LOW), <b>BMW</b>(OTCMKTS:BMWYY), <b>Siemens</b>(OTCMKTS:SIEGY), and <b>Lockheed Martin</b> (NYSE:LMT).</p><p>Analysts, like Credit Suisse’s Chris Casso, say there’s been enough bad news for semiconductors to lower the risk of investing. The firm also said Nvidia was one of its top picks thanks to its strength in artificial intelligence, computing, and data centers. Better, the firm now has an outperform rating on the stock, with a $210 price target. Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar also sees a near-term turnaround for Nvidia and has an overweight rating on the stock. For me, from a current price of $160.38, I’d like to see the stock run back to $195 by the first half of the New Year.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Tech Stocks You Can Count on in This Uncertain Market</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Tech Stocks You Can Count on in This Uncertain Market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-27 12:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/11/3-tech-stocks-you-can-count-on-in-this-uncertain-market/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Here are three top-quality tech stocks investors can count on in the long term.Apple(AAPL): Warren Buffett continues to buy because of its economic moat.Advanced Micro Devices(AMD): Analysts love this...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/11/3-tech-stocks-you-can-count-on-in-this-uncertain-market/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达","AMD":"美国超微公司","AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2022/11/3-tech-stocks-you-can-count-on-in-this-uncertain-market/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1170146184","content_text":"Here are three top-quality tech stocks investors can count on in the long term.Apple(AAPL): Warren Buffett continues to buy because of its economic moat.Advanced Micro Devices(AMD): Analysts love this beaten-down tech name.Nvidia(NVDA): The bad news is already priced into downed stocks like Nvidia.2022 was a tough one for tech stocks.

Even Warren Buffett once said he continues to invest in Apple because of its brand, ecosystem, and strong economic moat.In addition, we have to consider that Apple is a global leader in innovation. Just look at the iPhone alone. First introduced to the public in 2007, it’s now one of the most popular mobile phones in the world, with a growing market share. Better, earnings have been solid.The company just beat expectations on revenue and profits, and it showed that global demand for its products is still high. In its fourth quarter, the company’s revenue was up 8% to $90 billion. Mac sales were up 25% to $11.5 billion in the quarter. iPhone sales were up 10% to $42.6 billion. Operating income was up by 5% to $25 billion. EPS was up 4% to $1.29, putting it above expectations for $1.27.Also, analysts, such as Deutsche Bank’s Sidney Ho, say Apple is trading at a reasonable valuation and has a buy rating with a price target of $175. Apple also carries a dividend yield of 0.66%, and it’s been aggressive with stock buybacks.Tech Stocks: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) was butchered for most of the year. But that’ll happen when most of the tech stock sector is dragging just about everything lower. However, after falling from about $150 to a low of about $60, the AMD stock is showing strong signs of life. With patience, I’d like to see the AMD stock run from its current price of $75.25 to $120 in the near term.Analysts like the AMD stock, too. UBS upgraded AMD to a buy rating with a price target of $95 a share. Baird analyst Tristan Gerra also just upgraded the beaten-down tech name to outperform with a price target of $100. He believes the company’s newest Genoa chips could widen the company’s competitive moat. Credit Suisse analyst Chris Caso also initiated coverage of AMD with an outperform rating, with a price target of $90.Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar is also overweight on the stock, with a price target of $90. He added that earnings appear to be bottoming and that PC inventory should start to clear out in the early part of 2023. In addition, he believes AMD is a great way to trade the server uptrend and cloud strength.Tech Stocks: Nvidia (NVDA)While Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) was cut in half this year, it’s still one quality, safe name investors can count on. For one, the company makes the chips that are used to power some of the world’s most advanced technologies, including gaming, supercomputing, the cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality, autonomous driving, etc. Again, NVDA was destroyed in 2022. But it’s still a high-quality name to count on.Better, it’s also getting a jump on the Industrial Omniverse, which is already being used by major companies, like Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW), BMW(OTCMKTS:BMWYY), Siemens(OTCMKTS:SIEGY), and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT).Analysts, like Credit Suisse’s Chris Casso, say there’s been enough bad news for semiconductors to lower the risk of investing. The firm also said Nvidia was one of its top picks thanks to its strength in artificial intelligence, computing, and data centers. Better, the firm now has an outperform rating on the stock, with a $210 price target. Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar also sees a near-term turnaround for Nvidia and has an overweight rating on the stock. For me, from a current price of $160.38, I’d like to see the stock run back to $195 by the first half of the New Year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":620331434,"gmtCreate":1669357049628,"gmtModify":1669357051580,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great

The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.</p><h2><b>An in-depth company comparison</b></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b292a512ca86202c0549254543bfb5\" tg-width=\"472\" tg-height=\"546\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa03acf041d1be505b4a32558b182c46\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Although Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f1f88c88d16069afac3b3d995567a30\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Meta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.</p><h2>The stocks’ performance</h2><p>Considering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLC\">Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund</a> (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51b316e664d2e9457222c2ae8e80185d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"198\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>While both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>To determine the actual fair value for both company&#39;s stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f307c189819f83e89ac5301f675e985\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dfdac1fd157fda94ba58871ccb1c7b3f\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"599\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>I compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.</p><p>Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15cc9d6404157e698d23631783f3f4cd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>I then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c566b27f98414ced096c76621fbf9c00\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"598\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>Despite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.</p><p>Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.</p><h2>Outlook and Risk discussion</h2><p>With both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand&#39;s Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.</p><p>Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators&#39; space, or by offering remote-work solutions.

While many stocks may have been excessively hyped during the massive rebound out of the pandemic-lows, others have been under pressure because of rising inflation, a higher cost of capital, bottlenecks among the supply chains, as well as headwinds caused by pandemic-related restrictions, geo-political tensions, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Companies in the Information technology services industry could perform better from a yearly perspective but lately have been struggling to rebound, while others, such as the semiconductor and the solar industries, have recently been leading the sector.finvizfinvizThe two selected companies are two global giants in their industry, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) having nearly a monopoly in the online search field, as Google processes over 92% of online search volume worldwide, and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:META) counting 3.71B monthly users in Q3 2022, among the company’s core products, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger, up 4% Year-over-Year [YoY].Author, using TIKRWhile the two companies once were identified as a digital duopoly, because of their massive market share in global online advertising, more recently, companies such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent (OTCX:OTCPK:TCEHY), or ByteDance through their social media TikTok, have penetrated the market and contributed to the erosion of this duopoly.Author, using data from Insider Intelligence, Research and Markets, Company filingsThe global IT Services market is projected to grow at a 9.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate [CAGR] through 2031, while the global digital advertising market is forecasted to grow even faster at a 13.9% CAGR, reaching a size of $1.79T through 2031. The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.An in-depth company comparisonAuthor, using data from S&P Capital IQThe financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQAlthough Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQMeta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.The stocks’ performanceConsidering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.Author, using SeekingAlpha.comWhile both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.ValuationTo determine the actual fair value for both company's stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQThe valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.AuthorI compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQI then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.AuthorDespite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.Outlook and Risk discussionWith both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand's Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators' space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.SeekingAlpha.comMeta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.SeekingAlpha.comThe Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks.

The company, which has lost two-thirds of its market value this year and cut 11,000 jobs on Nov. 9, has been battered by damaging news about the political and social impact of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Investors are skeptical of Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg’s plans to pivot from social networking to the metaverse and worried about rising rivals such as ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok. And that’s to say nothing of the stresses on the broader economy and the digital advertising market.</p><p>But one factor looms above the rest: the changes to Apple Inc.’s privacy policies that have shaken the foundations of the targeted advertising industry. “Meta and lots of other tech companies are hiding underneath this big, gray cloud that’s covering the economy as a whole and sort of using that as a way to hide the reality that Apple is probably doing the most damage and is putting the tightest squeeze on businesses at the moment,” says Max Willens, a senior analyst at Insider Intelligence Inc. Meta’s ability to recover rests largely on finding ways to operate in this new environment.</p><p>Zuckerberg’s pitch to advertisers has long been that his company can guarantee that their marketing will reach the right users at Facebook and Instagram. Meta has used the data it collects about its users to help marketers pinpoint those with specific characteristics—for instance, identifying people who resembled their existing customers in key ways—and sell them specific products.</p><p>But last year, Apple changed its privacy policies in a way that significantly limited ad targeting on iOS devices, allowing users to decide whether to allow advertisers to track them. This made advertising with Meta more expensive, because less accurate marketers had to spend more money showing ads to the wrong type of person. Apple also prevented digital advertisers from accessing data needed to measure the outcomes of an ad after users clicked on it, making it more difficult to shift spending toward the most effective ads. In February, Meta estimated the changes would drag down revenue by $10 billion this year, or about 9% of what it’s expected to bring in.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53a1368570d36863ba8ef2aa41fbd879\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"344\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Apple has continued to make changes to its policies, taking additional cuts to money that flows through iPhones, such as on in-app purchases that users and advertisers make on social apps to boost their content to larger audiences. In October a Meta spokesperson accused Apple, which is building its own advertising business, of “undercutting others in the digital economy.” Apple has maintained that its goal has simply been to protect privacy. A Meta spokesperson didn’t respond to interview requests.</p><p>These changes have been a drag on the entire digital advertising industry, but they’ve hit Meta particularly hard. The company’s revenue in the third quarter totaled $27.7 billion, 4.5% lower than the same quarter in 2021. By contrast, Google parent company Alphabet’s revenue rose 6%, and revenue at smaller competitors Snap and Pinterest both increased more than 5%. Meta’s and Alphabet Inc.’s share of digital ad spending in the US is expected to fall below 50% next year for the first time since at least 2019, according to Insider Intelligence.</p><p>There’s still plenty of money flowing into digital ads. Spending from the largest brands rose 5% in the third quarter from the same period a year ago, accounting for two-thirds of all media buys, according to Standard Media Index. But that growth was slower than that of out-of-home venues such as billboards, subways and buses, which increased 14% from a year earlier, and newspapers, which grew 22%.</p><p>Advertisers feel as if there are more viable alternatives to Meta than there have been in the recent past, Willens says. “It’s giving marketers more license to lower their spending,” he adds. “Meta is going to have to recalibrate after the major go-go times of 2021 disappeared.”</p><p>The company has no experience managing decline. In the past, managers have been allowed to hire employees before annual budgets were approved in the spring, according to people familiar with the matter who declined to be identified because the process was private. This year, managers were instead asked to identify their bottom performers, two of the people say, a precursor to November’s job cuts. Employees have historically been able to work on passion projects, even if those projects weren’t always aligned with money-making opportunities for the business, say the people. That’s increasingly off the table, too.</p><p>An obvious explanation for Zuckerberg’s interest in the metaverse is that Apple wouldn’t wield so much power in a virtual universe where Meta controls the hardware and operating system. In the meantime, as he told employees in a message on Nov. 9, he thinks that Meta will have to be “leaner and more efficient.” He’s directing the company’s focus on artificial intelligence tools to help it compete with TikTok while also relying on Meta’s massive ad platform to fund his longer-term vision.</p><p>To do that, Meta is reworking its own targeting technology, using AI to determine which users should see which ads. Meta is operating two “centers of excellence for AI,” one in service of the ad business and the other focused on the user experience for Facebook and Instagram, said Tom Alison, the head of the Facebook app at Meta in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek before the job cuts were announced. The company has also worked to improve its ad performance tracking, which is especially important in video, because both Facebook and Instagram have prioritized a popular new short-form video format on their platforms called Reels.</p><p>A year after Apple’s changes, it appears as if some of Meta’s adjustments are working. In September marketing researcher Appsumer published a study on spending for more than 100 consumer apps across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America. The share of advertising budgets going to Meta stabilized in the first and second quarters. It’s now about 28%, according to Appsumer, after having fallen to 24%, from 32%, in the first six months after Apple’s measures took effect.</p><p>Users are watching about 140 billion videos across Meta’s platforms each day. But Reels doesn’t make as much money as its other products, costing Meta revenue as its audience shifts its time there. That alone cost Meta $500 million last quarter, and it will continue to be a drag for 12 months to 18 months, Zuckerberg said on the company’s earnings call in October.</p><p>Meta has also been developing ads that direct Facebook and Instagram users to Messenger or WhatsApp to open a chat with the advertiser. Zuckerberg called this the company’s fastest-growing ad product and said it’s currently bringing in revenue at a projected annual rate of $9 billion.</p><p>Even before the job cuts, the company had already been making some changes to bring its “best people” together to work on key problems such as the AI-driven content recommendation technology, Alison said. “When we make advances in the organic product, we can then figure out what we can carry over into the ads world, as well,” he says.</p><p>All this is shaping up to be a major challenge for Meta, at a period of unprecedented stress on the company. For the first time in its history, it’s going to have to learn to do more with less.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","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>Meta Confronts an Apple-Sized Hole in Its Once-Mighty Advertising Business</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\">\nMeta Confronts an Apple-Sized Hole in Its Once-Mighty Advertising Business\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-18 07:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-17/iphone-data-changes-are-biggest-cause-of-meta-meta-woes?srnd=premium-asia><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The social media company must deal with a range of headwinds, but a year later, the hit to its ad targeting capabilities has been particularly painful.There are many reasons for the dire situation at ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-17/iphone-data-changes-are-biggest-cause-of-meta-meta-woes?srnd=premium-asia\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果","META":"Meta Platforms, Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-17/iphone-data-changes-are-biggest-cause-of-meta-meta-woes?srnd=premium-asia","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1139933900","content_text":"The social media company must deal with a range of headwinds, but a year later, the hit to its ad targeting capabilities has been particularly painful.There are many reasons for the dire situation at Meta Platforms Inc. The company, which has lost two-thirds of its market value this year and cut 11,000 jobs on Nov. 9, has been battered by damaging news about the political and social impact of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Investors are skeptical of Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg’s plans to pivot from social networking to the metaverse and worried about rising rivals such as ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok. And that’s to say nothing of the stresses on the broader economy and the digital advertising market.But one factor looms above the rest: the changes to Apple Inc.’s privacy policies that have shaken the foundations of the targeted advertising industry. “Meta and lots of other tech companies are hiding underneath this big, gray cloud that’s covering the economy as a whole and sort of using that as a way to hide the reality that Apple is probably doing the most damage and is putting the tightest squeeze on businesses at the moment,” says Max Willens, a senior analyst at Insider Intelligence Inc. Meta’s ability to recover rests largely on finding ways to operate in this new environment.Zuckerberg’s pitch to advertisers has long been that his company can guarantee that their marketing will reach the right users at Facebook and Instagram. Meta has used the data it collects about its users to help marketers pinpoint those with specific characteristics—for instance, identifying people who resembled their existing customers in key ways—and sell them specific products.But last year, Apple changed its privacy policies in a way that significantly limited ad targeting on iOS devices, allowing users to decide whether to allow advertisers to track them. This made advertising with Meta more expensive, because less accurate marketers had to spend more money showing ads to the wrong type of person. Apple also prevented digital advertisers from accessing data needed to measure the outcomes of an ad after users clicked on it, making it more difficult to shift spending toward the most effective ads. In February, Meta estimated the changes would drag down revenue by $10 billion this year, or about 9% of what it’s expected to bring in.Apple has continued to make changes to its policies, taking additional cuts to money that flows through iPhones, such as on in-app purchases that users and advertisers make on social apps to boost their content to larger audiences. In October a Meta spokesperson accused Apple, which is building its own advertising business, of “undercutting others in the digital economy.” Apple has maintained that its goal has simply been to protect privacy. A Meta spokesperson didn’t respond to interview requests.These changes have been a drag on the entire digital advertising industry, but they’ve hit Meta particularly hard. The company’s revenue in the third quarter totaled $27.7 billion, 4.5% lower than the same quarter in 2021. By contrast, Google parent company Alphabet’s revenue rose 6%, and revenue at smaller competitors Snap and Pinterest both increased more than 5%. Meta’s and Alphabet Inc.’s share of digital ad spending in the US is expected to fall below 50% next year for the first time since at least 2019, according to Insider Intelligence.There’s still plenty of money flowing into digital ads. Spending from the largest brands rose 5% in the third quarter from the same period a year ago, accounting for two-thirds of all media buys, according to Standard Media Index. But that growth was slower than that of out-of-home venues such as billboards, subways and buses, which increased 14% from a year earlier, and newspapers, which grew 22%.Advertisers feel as if there are more viable alternatives to Meta than there have been in the recent past, Willens says. “It’s giving marketers more license to lower their spending,” he adds. “Meta is going to have to recalibrate after the major go-go times of 2021 disappeared.”The company has no experience managing decline. In the past, managers have been allowed to hire employees before annual budgets were approved in the spring, according to people familiar with the matter who declined to be identified because the process was private. This year, managers were instead asked to identify their bottom performers, two of the people say, a precursor to November’s job cuts. Employees have historically been able to work on passion projects, even if those projects weren’t always aligned with money-making opportunities for the business, say the people. That’s increasingly off the table, too.An obvious explanation for Zuckerberg’s interest in the metaverse is that Apple wouldn’t wield so much power in a virtual universe where Meta controls the hardware and operating system. In the meantime, as he told employees in a message on Nov. 9, he thinks that Meta will have to be “leaner and more efficient.” He’s directing the company’s focus on artificial intelligence tools to help it compete with TikTok while also relying on Meta’s massive ad platform to fund his longer-term vision.To do that, Meta is reworking its own targeting technology, using AI to determine which users should see which ads. Meta is operating two “centers of excellence for AI,” one in service of the ad business and the other focused on the user experience for Facebook and Instagram, said Tom Alison, the head of the Facebook app at Meta in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek before the job cuts were announced. The company has also worked to improve its ad performance tracking, which is especially important in video, because both Facebook and Instagram have prioritized a popular new short-form video format on their platforms called Reels.A year after Apple’s changes, it appears as if some of Meta’s adjustments are working. In September marketing researcher Appsumer published a study on spending for more than 100 consumer apps across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America. The share of advertising budgets going to Meta stabilized in the first and second quarters. It’s now about 28%, according to Appsumer, after having fallen to 24%, from 32%, in the first six months after Apple’s measures took effect.Users are watching about 140 billion videos across Meta’s platforms each day. But Reels doesn’t make as much money as its other products, costing Meta revenue as its audience shifts its time there. That alone cost Meta $500 million last quarter, and it will continue to be a drag for 12 months to 18 months, Zuckerberg said on the company’s earnings call in October.Meta has also been developing ads that direct Facebook and Instagram users to Messenger or WhatsApp to open a chat with the advertiser. Zuckerberg called this the company’s fastest-growing ad product and said it’s currently bringing in revenue at a projected annual rate of $9 billion.Even before the job cuts, the company had already been making some changes to bring its “best people” together to work on key problems such as the AI-driven content recommendation technology, Alison said. “When we make advances in the organic product, we can then figure out what we can carry over into the ads world, as well,” he says.All this is shaping up to be a major challenge for Meta, at a period of unprecedented stress on the company. For the first time in its history, it’s going to have to learn to do more with less.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":667809103,"gmtCreate":1668671974503,"gmtModify":1668671977068,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Probably not true.

With the stock trading at a significantly lower valuation, it certainly bolsters the bullish case for the stock if management delivers on its goal.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":58,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":664192344,"gmtCreate":1667835427388,"gmtModify":1667835537566,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Rubbish idea he has","listText":"Rubbish idea he has","text":"Rubbish idea he has","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/664192344","repostId":"1133133927","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1133133927","pubTimestamp":1667774184,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1133133927?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-07 06:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook Parent Meta Is Preparing to Notify Employees of Large-Scale Layoffs This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133133927","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Social-media company’s planned cuts expected to affect many thousands of its workforceMeta’s planned","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Social-media company’s planned cuts expected to affect many thousands of its workforce</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3283f3fd40a681581abb2a1eddb4d4d0\" tg-width=\"860\" tg-height=\"573\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Meta’s planned layoffs would be the first broad head-count reductions to occur in the company’s 18-year history.</span></p><p>Meta Platforms Inc. increase; green up pointing triangleis planning to begin large-scale layoffs this week, according to people familiar with the matter, in what could be the largest round in a recent spate of tech job cuts after the industry’s rapid growth during the pandemic.</p><p>The layoffs are expected to affect many thousands of employees and an announcement is planned to come as soon as Wednesday, according to the people.

(NASDAQ:META) is astonishing but certainly not unprecedented. The performance of the stock is reminding of several technology companies during the Dotcom crash and recently several technology companies – including the Chinese counterpart Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY,OTCPK:TCTZF) – performed similar. So far, Meta Platforms has lost 75% of its value and turned from a company that was briefly worth above $1 trillion (and among the top companies in the world by market cap) to a $250 billion company ranging only on the 33rdspot on the list of themost valuable companiesin the world.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/149e1f6c0f1b06f4bd721a865db34fac\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data byYCharts</p><p>When reading comments – including comments on Seeking Alpha – I seldom see analysis and logic but just expressions of hate for Mark Zuckerberg, using the word “woke” countless times and talking about “Karma.” And while this is obviously no analysis, it is an expression for the sentiment surrounding Meta Platforms. In such a sentiment-driven environment, decisions are often lacking the necessary objectivity to make good investment– which might explain why the stock is trading below $100 and close to the point of maximum pessimism.</p><h2><b>Declining Profitability</b></h2><p>Of course, fundamentals also justify the stock to go lower from its previous all-time highs of $380. And one fundamental problem is the declining profitability for Meta Platforms in the last few quarters. In Q3/22, the company had to report huge declines for the bottom line once again. Diluted earnings per share declined from $3.22 in the same quarter last year to $1.64 this quarter. And when looking at the results for the first nine months, EPS declined from $10.11 in the same timeframe last year to $6.82 this year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/857f2d072c54ddaffb7f3a2686bbd0fb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"457\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Q3/22 Earnings Release</p><p>When looking for the reasons, we can mention several aspects. Although playing only a small role, interest payments of $88 million had a negative effect (due to the company’s $10 billion in long-term debt). Cost of revenue declined about 1% to $5,716 million, but the operating expenses increased dramatically. General and administrative expenses increased 14.9% year-over-year to $3,384 million, and research and development expenses increased 45.2% YoY to $9,170 million. And the result was operating income cut in half from $10,423 million in Q3/21 to $5,664 million this quarter.</p><h2><b>Top Line Growth Slowing Down</b></h2><p>But not only increased costs had a negative effect. Revenue also declined from $29,010 million in Q3/21 to $27,714 million in Q3/22 – resulting in 4.5% decline YoY. Management was pointing out, that on a constant currency basis revenue increased 2% year-over-year. We can also look at the different regions and different segments and see mixed trends. Dave Wehner gave detailsduring the last earnings call:</p><blockquote>The healthcare and travel verticals were the largest positive contributors to growth in Q3. However, this was offset by continued softness in other verticals, including online commerce, gaming, financial services and CPG. On an advertiser size basis, revenue growth from large advertisers remains challenged, while we have seen more resilience among smaller advertisers. Foreign currency was a significant headwind to advertising revenue growth in all international regions. On a user geography basis, year-over-year ad revenue growth was strongest in Asia-Pacific and rest of world at 6% and 3% respectively, with both regions continuing to benefit meaningfully from strong growth in click-to-messaging ads. North America and Europe declined 3% and 16% respectively.</blockquote><p>And during the last few quarters, growth clearly slowed down – when looking at the TTM numbers, revenue growth declined for four quarters in a row from 42.33% growth in September 2021 to only 5.15% right now.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6f1dc184b6d72641ab76558dc000ef3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"166\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Platforms TTM numbers, year-over-year growth(Seeking Alpha)</p><h2><b>Problems, Problems, Problems?</b></h2><p>We should not ignore the problems Meta Platforms is clearly facing. Revenue growth is slowing down and, due to increasing costs (we will get to that), profitability is declining and earnings per share are crumbling. And the stock certainly deserved to decline in value, but a 75% decline was unjustified – especially as Meta Platforms was not so expensive to begin with (even more true when comparing to several other hyped stocks). When looking at the results in more detail, there are signs to be optimistic.</p><p><b><i>Small Signs of Growth</i></b></p><p>First, on a constant currency basis, revenue increased 2% year-over-year. This is still not great, but we should also not ignore the strong U.S. dollar being a headwind – for Meta Platforms as well as most other U.S. companies. And daily active users for the Family of Apps increased from 2.88 billion last quarter to 2.93 billion this quarter, and year-over-year the DAUs increased about 4%.

During the earnings call, Dave Wehner stated:</p><blockquote>So on time spent, we are really pleased with what we’re seeing on engagement. And as Mark mentioned, Reels is incremental to time spent. Specifically, in terms of aggregate time spent on Instagram and Facebook, both are up year-over-year and in both the U.S. and globally.</blockquote><p>And while revenue stagnated, the total number of ad impressions served across the different apps increased 17%, which is a good sign for underlying growth. Growth was especially driven by Asia-Pacific and rest of world. On the other hand, the average price per ad decreased 18%, but the reasons might be temporary – like the shift to Reels.</p><p><b><i>Shift to Reels</i></b></p><p>Another reason for the top-line troubles is the move from Feed and Stories to Reels, as the monetization is still problematic. During the earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg commented:</p><blockquote>Moving to monetization, I’ve discussed in the past how the growth of short-form video creates near-term challenges since Reels doesn’t monetize at the rate of Feed or Stories yet. That means that as Reels grows, we are displacing revenue from higher monetizing surfaces. And I think this is clearly the right thing to do, so Reels can grow with the demand that we are seeing, but closing this gap is also a high priority. Even with the progress we have made, we are still choosing to take a more than $500 million quarterly revenue headwind with this shift, but we expect to get to a more neutral place over the next 10 – sort of 12 to 18 months. I mentioned last quarter that Instagram Reels had crossed a $1 billion annual revenue run-rate. We continue scaling monetization across both Instagram and Facebook and the combined run-rate across these apps is now $3 billion.</blockquote><p>And Reels is growing quickly and at a high pace. According to Zuckerberg, there are more than 140 billion Reels plays across Facebook and Instagram each day, which is a 50% increase from 6 months ago. And although this is not backed up by numbers, Zuckerberg believes that Meta is gaining time spent share on competitors like TikTok.</p><p>And the path for Reels monetization seems similar than the path towards monetization of Feeds or the switch to mobile. The company first had to focus on increasing engagement and growing demand for the products. Monetization efficiency followed in the next step. But Zuckerberg also admits it is hard to predict the monetization efficiency for Reels in advance.</p><p><b><i>New Ways of Monetization</i></b></p><p>Aside from trying to monetize Reels more efficiently, Meta Platforms is also seeing another major monetization opportunity in messaging. During the last earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg explained:</p><blockquote>Beyond Reels, messaging is another major monetization opportunity. Billions of people and millions of businesses use WhatsApp and Messenger everyday and we are confident that we can connect them in ways that create valuable experiences. We started with click-to-messaging ads which lets businesses run ads on Facebook and Instagram that start a thread on Messenger, WhatsApp or Instagram Direct, so they can communicate with customers directly. And this is one of our fastest growing ads products with a $9 billion annual run-rate.</blockquote><p>In theprevious earnings call, the company already pointed out the big potential it sees in messaging. Meta Platforms reported strong double-digit year-over-year growth rates, and these messages are particular popular with small and medium-sized businesses in emerging markets like Brazil and Mexico.</p><h2><b>Scary Metaverse</b></h2><p>In my opinion, investors are mostly scared by Mark Zuckerberg’s plans for the Metaverse and the huge expenses necessary. By focusing on the Metaverse (and seeing it as a huge cash-burning fantasy of a billionaire), they are overlooking that Meta Platforms is still a solid, highly profitable cash cow (yes it is, even when it will struggle for a few quarters). And the vision of the Metaverse is generating uncertainty, and investors don’t like uncertainty.</p><p>And there are reasons to be cautious (or even pessimistic). In the last few weeks, disappointing data about the Metaverse has been reported – aboutusers not returningand fewer than 200k users signing up forthe Horizon World. And when looking at the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, revenue for the Reality Labs business segment was only $285 million and 49% lower than in the same quarter last year. And not very surprisingly, the segment had to report an operating loss once again - $3,672 million. And when looking at the last eight quarters, this is the biggest operating loss for the segment so far.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef035e590029c005f6cf20a38e2d2cd8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Platforms Q3/22 Presentation</p><p>What shocked investors in particular was the fact that Meta Platforms won’t cut down on spendings and will continue to rely heavily on its vision of the Metaverse. While total expenses for fiscal 2022 are expected to be in the range of $85 billion to $87 billion, management is anticipating full year 2023 total expenses to be in the range of $96 billion to $101 billion. And management is also anticipating that Reality Labs operating losses will grow significantly year-over-year.</p><p>And the voices are getting louder that Mark Zuckerberg should let go of his vision of the Metaverse and cut spendings to an absolute minimum. But Zuckerberg seems to hold on to his vision, and although he is acknowledging it will take time (several years) and several tries before the right platforms and apps exist, he is optimistic that Meta Platforms is on the right path:</p><blockquote>Work in the metaverse is a big theme for Quest Pro. There are 200 million people who get new PCs every year, mostly for work. And our goal for the Quest Pro line over the next several years is to enable more and more of these people to get their work done in virtual and mixed reality eventually even better than they could on PCs. And to deliver a great work and productivity experience, I am excited about the partnerships that we announced with Microsoft, bringing their suite of productivity and enterprise management services to Quest; Adobe and Autodesk bringing their creative tools; Zoom bringing their communication platform; Accenture building solutions for enterprises and more.</blockquote><h2><b>Takeaway</b></h2><p>In my opinion, we can break this story down in two key messages:</p><ol><li><b>Business Cycle</b>: Meta Platforms is a company undergoing a cyclical low – like several other technology companies – and is therefore reporting low growth rates and is struggling on several fronts. Considering the fact that we are on the eve of a major recession it is not surprising for a business depending on advertisement revenue to report slowing revenue growth. And not only Meta Platforms is struggling – peers like Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Tencent are struggling as well.</li><li><b>Investing in the future</b>: Meta Platforms is investing in its huge vision of the metaverse, which is expensive and has a negative impact on the bottom line and the company’s ability to generate free cash flow.</li></ol><p>These two aspects combined create a scenario that looks like Armageddon for Meta Platforms – but it is not. The first problem (the cyclical low) will pass, and revenue growth and profitability will increase again. The second problem (high expenditures) could actually be a huge opportunity for billions and billions in profits in the years to come. And this is even if the scenario that Meta Platforms is failing with its vision of the Metaverse and Facebook and Instagram just returning to normal ways of profitability after the recession is not priced in (the current stock price, at least).</p><p><b>Intrinsic Value Calculation</b></p><p>And as I have mentioned several times in the past, the Metaverse does not have to work out in any way for Meta Platforms to be a bargain. It is not like we are paying any form of premium for Meta Platforms on the hope of billions in profits from the Metaverse. Just returning to previous profitability levels and generating about $40 billion in free cash flow would make the stock worth about $150 (without any growth assumptions).</p><p>And although it sounds absurd right now, Meta Platforms should be able to grow in the mid-to-high single digits in the years to come. Not only have we to assume Meta Platforms being able to grow its top line again. Additionally, Meta Platforms could use share buybacks to grow its bottom line (if all the other growth initiatives won’t work). Last quarter, Meta Platforms spent $7,365 million on share buybacks, which is resulting in $29,460 million on annual share buybacks. At the current depressed stock price, this is enough to repurchase more than 10% of outstanding shares and add 10% growth to the bottom line. Combined with revenue growth, this would lead to double-digit growth for Meta Platforms.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a3f2e36a81b7d1cc2906ceb54b94bbb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Platforms Q3/22 Presentation</p><p>Free cash flow in the last four quarters was $25,713 million and we are using this amount as basis in our calculation. For fiscal 2023, we assume 0% growth as the company is not so optimistic for the next years and the recession will have a negative impact. For the years from fiscal 2024 going forward (and till perpetuity), we assume only 5% growth. This is resulting in an intrinsic value of $182.69 (assuming 2,687 million outstanding shares and 10% discount rate). When assuming 6% instead, the intrinsic value would be $221.44, and these are still cautious assumptions.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>In past articles I mentioned several times that I don’t like the term “buying opportunity of a lifetime” – especially as it was often used after small corrections implying that a 10% or 20% correction is already generating a deeply undervalued stock. But Meta Platforms is a huge buying opportunity, in my opinion, and the stock could easily double or triple over the next few years as Meta Platforms is trading nowhere close to its intrinsic value. In different calculations (which I did not include in this article), we also get an intrinsic value around $400 for Meta Platforms right now.</p><p>And in the coming quarters, bad news will continue as the recession, which will hit the United States with a highprobability in 2023, will lead to more trouble for Meta Platforms. But at this point, most of the bad news should be priced in, and further bad news should not be a major shock. Over the next few years, you probably won’t regret an investment in Meta Platforms (and for the next few quarters just go to sleep, as we don’t know what will happen).</p></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>Meta Platforms: Once In A Lifetime Buying Opportunity?</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\">\nMeta Platforms: Once In A Lifetime Buying Opportunity?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-03 14:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4551989-meta-platforms-once-in-a-lifetime-buying-opportunity><strong>seeking alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMeta Platforms reported mediocre Q3/22 results and revenue as well as earnings per share declined.While the company is clearly struggling, the underlying business is still growing, with the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4551989-meta-platforms-once-in-a-lifetime-buying-opportunity\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"META":"Meta Platforms, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4551989-meta-platforms-once-in-a-lifetime-buying-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1113649059","content_text":"SummaryMeta Platforms reported mediocre Q3/22 results and revenue as well as earnings per share declined.While the company is clearly struggling, the underlying business is still growing, with the number of DAUs increasing and monetization of reels making progress.Investors are scared by Zuckerberg's vision of the Metaverse and the necessary spendings and ignore the underlying, solid business.Meta Platforms is deeply undervalued and a great buying opportunity.The pessimism surrounding Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is astonishing but certainly not unprecedented. The performance of the stock is reminding of several technology companies during the Dotcom crash and recently several technology companies – including the Chinese counterpart Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY,OTCPK:TCTZF) – performed similar. So far, Meta Platforms has lost 75% of its value and turned from a company that was briefly worth above $1 trillion (and among the top companies in the world by market cap) to a $250 billion company ranging only on the 33rdspot on the list of themost valuable companiesin the world.Data byYChartsWhen reading comments – including comments on Seeking Alpha – I seldom see analysis and logic but just expressions of hate for Mark Zuckerberg, using the word “woke” countless times and talking about “Karma.” And while this is obviously no analysis, it is an expression for the sentiment surrounding Meta Platforms. In such a sentiment-driven environment, decisions are often lacking the necessary objectivity to make good investment– which might explain why the stock is trading below $100 and close to the point of maximum pessimism.Declining ProfitabilityOf course, fundamentals also justify the stock to go lower from its previous all-time highs of $380. And one fundamental problem is the declining profitability for Meta Platforms in the last few quarters. In Q3/22, the company had to report huge declines for the bottom line once again. Diluted earnings per share declined from $3.22 in the same quarter last year to $1.64 this quarter. And when looking at the results for the first nine months, EPS declined from $10.11 in the same timeframe last year to $6.82 this year.Meta Q3/22 Earnings ReleaseWhen looking for the reasons, we can mention several aspects. Although playing only a small role, interest payments of $88 million had a negative effect (due to the company’s $10 billion in long-term debt). Cost of revenue declined about 1% to $5,716 million, but the operating expenses increased dramatically. General and administrative expenses increased 14.9% year-over-year to $3,384 million, and research and development expenses increased 45.2% YoY to $9,170 million. And the result was operating income cut in half from $10,423 million in Q3/21 to $5,664 million this quarter.Top Line Growth Slowing DownBut not only increased costs had a negative effect. Revenue also declined from $29,010 million in Q3/21 to $27,714 million in Q3/22 – resulting in 4.5% decline YoY. Management was pointing out, that on a constant currency basis revenue increased 2% year-over-year. We can also look at the different regions and different segments and see mixed trends. Dave Wehner gave detailsduring the last earnings call:The healthcare and travel verticals were the largest positive contributors to growth in Q3. However, this was offset by continued softness in other verticals, including online commerce, gaming, financial services and CPG. On an advertiser size basis, revenue growth from large advertisers remains challenged, while we have seen more resilience among smaller advertisers. Foreign currency was a significant headwind to advertising revenue growth in all international regions. On a user geography basis, year-over-year ad revenue growth was strongest in Asia-Pacific and rest of world at 6% and 3% respectively, with both regions continuing to benefit meaningfully from strong growth in click-to-messaging ads. North America and Europe declined 3% and 16% respectively.And during the last few quarters, growth clearly slowed down – when looking at the TTM numbers, revenue growth declined for four quarters in a row from 42.33% growth in September 2021 to only 5.15% right now.Meta Platforms TTM numbers, year-over-year growth(Seeking Alpha)Problems, Problems, Problems?We should not ignore the problems Meta Platforms is clearly facing.

In different calculations (which I did not include in this article), we also get an intrinsic value around $400 for Meta Platforms right now.And in the coming quarters, bad news will continue as the recession, which will hit the United States with a highprobability in 2023, will lead to more trouble for Meta Platforms. But at this point, most of the bad news should be priced in, and further bad news should not be a major shock. Over the next few years, you probably won’t regret an investment in Meta Platforms (and for the next few quarters just go to sleep, as we don’t know what will happen).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":48,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":665601478,"gmtCreate":1667223108894,"gmtModify":1667223112465,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell","listText":"Sell","text":"Sell","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/665601478","repostId":"2279825376","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2279825376","pubTimestamp":1667198111,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2279825376?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-31 14:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta: Buy It For The Next Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2279825376","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Meta (NASDAQ:META) has been in the news lately, and not for good reasons.

The company missed Q3 earnings estimates badly and lowered fourth quarter guidance. Declining ad revenue and higher costs put pressure on Meta&#39;s sales, margins, profits, and share price.

However, it was Q3&#39;s EPS that spooked investors even more. Meta delivered $1.64 in EPS, badly missing the consensus mark by 22 cents. Moreover, in Q3 2021, the company had a whopping $3.22 in EPS. So, we&#39;re looking at a 49% YoY EPS decline. Pretty shocking, right?</p><p>Nevertheless, there was more bad news. Meta&#39;s average price per ad decreased by 18% YoY. I began warning of the spread of ad revenue declines in May in my &#34;Snap&#39;s Warning For Everyone&#34; article (Meta&#39;s stock was around $220 then). Meta&#39;s ad sales have been softening for months, and we see its ad revenues and profits continuing to slide. Meta expects fourth-quarter total revenues to be $30-32.5 billion vs. $32.21 consensus estimates. Q4 2021 revenue came in at <i>$33.67 billion</i>. Presuming that Meta can hit the mid-range of its estimate ($31.25 billion), we&#39;d see about a 7% YoY revenue decline. Naturally, this is not pretty, but the good news is that Meta&#39;s revenue and earnings decline phase is probably transitory and will likely pass soon. Once the downturn concludes, Meta should return to growing sales and increasing profits again.</p><h2>Revenue Growth and EPS Expansion Should Return</h2><p>Meta, or Facebook as I still like to call it, is a dominant, market-leading company with exceptional revenue growth and profitability potential.

Next year&#39;s revenue estimates range from $116 - 147 billion, a vast range. Nevertheless, next year&#39;s consensus estimate is about $124 billion (lowballed, in my view). This revenue increase would represent YoY growth of about 7%. I estimate a 10% YoY revenue increase to roughly $130 billion in 2023. After that, we could see Meta provide high single to low double-digit revenue growth through 2030.</p><p><b>Here&#39;s What Meta&#39;s Financials Could Look Like As We Advance: </b></p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Year</b></td><td><b>2022</b></td><td><b>2023</b></td><td><b>2024</b></td><td><b>2025</b></td><td><b>2026</b></td><td><b>2027</b></td><td><b>2028</b></td><td><b>2029</b></td><td><b>2030</b></td></tr><tr><td><b>Revenue Bs</b></td><td>$118</td><td>$130</td><td>$145</td><td>$165</td><td>$184</td><td>$205</td><td>$225</td><td>$245</td><td>$265</td></tr><tr><td><b>Revenue growth</b></td><td>0%</td><td>10%</td><td>12%</td><td>13%</td><td>12%</td><td>11%</td><td>10%</td><td>9%</td><td>8%</td></tr><tr><td><b>EPS</b></td><td>$9.50</td><td>$12</td><td>$15</td><td>$19</td><td>$22</td><td>$26</td><td>$31</td><td>$37</td><td>$45</td></tr><tr><td><b>Forward P/E</b></td><td>8</td><td>12</td><td>14</td><td>16</td><td>17</td><td>16</td><td>15</td><td>13</td><td>12</td></tr><tr><td><b>Stock price</b></td><td>$100</td><td>$180</td><td>$266</td><td>$330</td><td>$442</td><td>$496</td><td>$555</td><td>$585</td><td>$600</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Click to enlarge</p><p>Source: The Financial Prophet</p><h2>The Bottom Line</h2><p>Meta is one of the top technology companies in the world and is essentially a social media monopoly.

While many of the world’s richest people have seen their fortunes tumble this year, Meta’s chief executive officer has seen the single-biggest hit among those on the wealth list.Meta’s revenue fell 4.5% from a year ago, the second consecutive quarterly drop, after never posting declining sales prior to 2022. Meanwhile, the social media platform faces ballooning costs as it funds its version of virtual reality. Shares of Meta opened 25% lower Thursday in New York. The stock price of about $100, the lowest since 2016, compares with $382 at its peak.“I get that a lot of people might disagree with this investment,” Zuckerberg said about the company's focus on the metaverse. The Menlo Park-based company changed its name from Facebook to Meta a year ago. He stood by the pivot, calling it “fundamentally important to the future.”Zuckerberg holds more than 350 million shares in Meta, according to the company’s latest proxy statement. At one point, he was third on the Bloomberg wealth index, trailing only Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. As of Wednesday’s close, he ranked 23rd.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":662870673,"gmtCreate":1666359647992,"gmtModify":1666359650968,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nope","listText":"Nope","text":"Nope","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/662870673","repostId":"2277147110","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":33,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":666754195,"gmtCreate":1666015757017,"gmtModify":1666015759716,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up","listText":"Up","text":"Up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/666754195","repostId":"2276507182","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":63,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":668785367,"gmtCreate":1665189052860,"gmtModify":1665189054472,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574984385549978","idStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wonder

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings.

An analysis of the underlying strength of companies in one economically sensitive sector -- that of travel and leisure -- highlights the trend.</p>\n<p>That sector, which borrowed heavily to survive during the worst of the pandemic, was expected to enjoy a steep increase in demand for flights and hotel rooms in the summer after the vaccine program kicked off in the spring. But that expectation was dashed by the highly transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus that has pushed cases, hospitalizations and deaths back to levels seen in winter and discouraged people from leaving home.</p>\n<p>\"The largest travel and leisure public companies are still on a knife's edge,\" said James Gellert, CEO of RapidRatings, a company that assesses the finances of private and public companies.</p>\n<p>\"For these companies, much of the pain has lasted over a year now, driven largely by empty properties, unsold tickets, continued confusion around lockdowns and quarantine policies, and an optimism that has yet to fully meet reality.\"</p>\n<p>It's not just the travel sector that is feeling the pain.

But that profit resulted from the inclusion of $1.5 billion in benefits related to government payroll support programs; excluding that benefit, Delta recorded an adjusted net loss of $678 million.\nThe total adjusted net loss for the first half of 2021 was $2.94 billion, not much better than the $3.14 billion loss suffered in the first half of 2020, while payments on debt and finance lease obligations during those periods have swelled more than 80% to $3.1 billion.\nAnd yet the stock has more than doubled, even though the ratio of debt to assets has soared to the highest levels seen since before Delta last emerged from bankruptcy in April 2007.\nAs the chart above shows, the stock price and the debt-to-asset ratio tend to move in opposite directions.\n-Ciara Linnane\n$(END)$ Dow Jones Newswires\nOctober 01, 2021 11:15 ET (15:15 GMT)\nCopyright (c) 2021 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":237,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":379945914,"gmtCreate":1618663212838,"gmtModify":1634291495285,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574984385549978","authorIdStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hard to say&nbsp;","listText":"Hard to say&nbsp;","text":"Hard to say","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/379945914","repostId":"1179330583","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179330583","pubTimestamp":1618588042,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179330583?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-16 23:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airbnb CEO says company is going to need millions more hosts to meet surging demand","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179330583","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nAirbnb is going to need millions of new hosts to meet incoming demand as travel picks up","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nAirbnb is going to need millions of new hosts to meet incoming demand as travel picks up again, CEO Brian Chesky told CNBC.\n\"To meet the demand over the coming years, we're going to need ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/16/airbnb-ceo-says-company-is-going-to-need-millions-more-hosts-to-meet-demand.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 for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350776086,"gmtCreate":1616295351245,"gmtModify":1634526461525,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574984385549978","authorIdStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/350776086","repostId":"1106180509","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":842682754,"gmtCreate":1636170467910,"gmtModify":1636170468356,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574984385549978","authorIdStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope it works","listText":"Hope it works","text":"Hope it works","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/842682754","repostId":"1173813098","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":191910883,"gmtCreate":1620832603042,"gmtModify":1634195965877,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574984385549978","authorIdStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Awesome","listText":"Awesome","text":"Awesome","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/191910883","repostId":"1196961143","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":133,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":356176015,"gmtCreate":1616766894937,"gmtModify":1634524109434,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574984385549978","authorIdStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nokia is cool","listText":"Nokia is cool","text":"Nokia is cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/356176015","repostId":"1109499191","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109499191","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":1616766726,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1109499191?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-26 21:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Some “meme” stocks are flying again.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109499191","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Some “meme” stocks are flying again in Friday morning trading.The shares of NAKD is up 22%,GameStop ","content":"<p>Some “meme” stocks are flying again&nbsp;in Friday morning trading.The shares of NAKD is up 22%,GameStop is up 18%，Nikola&nbsp;is&nbsp;up&nbsp;4%&nbsp;and&nbsp;AMC&nbsp;is&nbsp;up&nbsp;3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8e92190c4c2210799a5c7eed4a46654\" tg-width=\"377\" tg-height=\"601\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Its Mac and iPad sales did better, with its computers up 70.1% and iPad sales growing nearly 79% on an annual basis.Apple said it would increase its dividend by 7% to $0.22 per share and authorized $90 billion in share buybacks, which is significantly higher than last year’s $50 billion outlay and 2019′s $75 billion.Here’s how Apple did versus Refinitiv estimates:EPS: $1.40 vs. $0.99 estimatedRevenue: $89.58 billion vs. $77.36 billion estimated, up 53.7% year-over-yeariPhone revenue: $47.94 billion vs. $41.43 billion estimated, up 65.5% year-over-yearServices revenue: $16.90 billion vs. $15.57 billion estimated, up 26.7% year over yearOther Products revenue: $7.83 billion vs. $7.79 billion estimated, up 24% year-over-yearMac revenue: $9.10 billion vs. $6.86 billion estimated, up 70.1% year-over-yeariPad revenue: $7.80 billion vs. $5.58 billion estimated, up 78.9% year-over-yearGross margin: 42.5% vs. 39.8% estimatedApple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June. It hasn’t provided revenue guidance since the start of the pandemic, citing uncertainty. This is Apple’s second quarter in a row with double-digit growth in all product categories. Apple CFO Luca Maestri told analysts that the company expects June quarter revenue to rise by double digits year-over-year, although it faces some supply shortages due to the worldwide chip shortage.Apple has said in the past months that its business has been boosted by the pandemic as consumers and businesses bought computers to work and entertain themselves while at home. But Apple’s strong results in the quarter suggest that the trend may persist as more economies open up.Or, as Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement: “This quarter reflects both the enduring ways our products have helped our users meet this moment in their own lives, as well as the optimism consumers seem to feel about better days ahead for all of us.”Mac sales were up 70%, and Cook said that the result was “fueled by” the company’s introduction of its Mac laptops that used its own M1 chips for longer battery life, instead of processors sold by Intel. iPad sales were up nearly 79% year-over-year.Neither of those results include iPad Pro or iMac models the company announced in March, which are expected to drive additional demand.“We’re seeing strong first-time buyers on the Mac … it continues to run just south of 50%,” Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton. “And, in China, it’s even higher than that … it’s more around two-thirds. And that speaks to people preferring to work on the Mac.”Apple’s iPhone also reported strong results this quarter, quelling fears that the current annual cycle could slow down. Last year, Apple released iPhones with a new exterior design and 5G support, which many investors believed could prompt a major upgrade cycle, which this quarter’s results indicate.In greater China, which includes the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Apple’s revenue increased over 87% year-over-year to $17.73 billion, although the comparison is to a quarter last year in which China was largely shut down in the early days of the pandemic. Every other geographical category, including the Americas and Europe, were also up on an annual basis.Apple’s high-margin services business, including iCloud, App Store, and subscriptions like Apple Music, also showed 26.7% growth.One metric that Apple uses to show the growth in services is the number of subscriptions it has, which not only include its own subscriptions like Apple One, but also subscriptions through its App Store.“We now have over 660 million paid subscriptions across the services on the platform, and that’s up 40 million from the previous quarter, which is an acceleration from 35 million,” Cook told CNBC.However, Apple’s App Store has been challenged by lawmakers and companies that say it costs too much and has too much power. A closely-watched trial with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store policies kicks off next week.“The App Store has been an economic miracle. Last year, the estimates are that there was over a half a trillion dollars of economic activity because of the store. And, so, this has been just an economic gamechanger for not only the United States, but several countries around the world. And, we’re going to go in and tell our story. And we’ll see where it goes. But, we’re confident,” Cook told CNBC.Apple’s gross margin was also unusually elevated for the company. Most quarters, it tends to be in the 38% to 39% range, but in the quarter ending in March, Apple reported 42.5% margins.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":356757985,"gmtCreate":1616819668647,"gmtModify":1634523823908,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574984385549978","authorIdStr":"3574984385549978"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wait for it to drop more","listText":"Wait for it to drop more","text":"Wait for it to drop more","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/356757985","repostId":"2122472374","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2122472374","pubTimestamp":1616770512,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2122472374?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-26 22:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD Stock Has Crashed 20%: Here's Why You Should Buy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2122472374","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The high-flying chipmaker has been battered on the stock market this year, but it could soon turn around.","content":"<p><b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>) stock hit a 52-week high in January this year, but the price for this high-flying chipmaker has pulled back over 20% since then thanks to a variety of factors such as the broader sell-off in tech stocks and rival <b>Intel</b>'s (NASDAQ:INTC) resurgence under new leadership.</p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> look at the pace of AMD's growth and its outlook for the year tells us that the recent sell-off in the stock may not be justified.

This $20 billion expansion will bring our total investment in Arizona to more than $50 billion since opening the site over 40 years ago.\n\"As the only U.S.-based leading-edge chipmaker, we are committed to building on this long-term investment and helping the United States regain semiconductor leadership,” Gelsinger said.\nShares of Intel on Friday traded 0.18% higher to $54.32 after hours.\nGelsinger on Thursday participated in a virtual meeting with tech company executives and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to address the global semiconductor chip shortage, which has interfered with production in the high-tech, electronics and automotive industries.\nThe two new factories, to be named Fab 52 and Fab 62, will house a total of six semiconductor fabs. The project will create over 3,000 high-tech, high-wage Intel jobs, 3,000 construction jobs and support an estimated 15,000 additional indirect jobs in the local community.\nIntel rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.plans to buildits second U.S. chip factory also in Arizona and targets production to begin in 2024.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
