Electronic Arts</h2>\n<p>Electronic Arts, also known as EA, is a video game publisher that's most popular for its sports-based franchises <i>FIFA</i> and <i>Madden</i>. Over the last decade, while many of the company's prominent titles have stayed consistent, EA's business model has changed dramatically. Propelled by an industry-wide shift to live services, EA has become increasingly digital. In fact, prior to the introduction of live gameplay and digital downloads, EA generated most of its revenue through the sales of physical games. This meant that the value of a video game often stopped at the initial purchase. But that has since changed.</p>\n<p>Since 2017, EA's bookings (money committed by customers but not entirely recognized as revenue yet) from live services have compounded by more than 35% per year,&nbsp;and in the most recent quarter accounted for 62% of the company's overall bookings.&nbsp;Additionally, more than 60% of the company's initial game sales are now completely digital.&nbsp;Since this requires less manufacturing and distribution costs, EA's per-unit profit margins have increased as well. This transition has helped EA improve its gross margins from less than 40% a decade ago&nbsp;to 73% in the most recent quarter.</p>\n<p>But the company's growth isn't all in the past. In the most recent quarter, EA's trailing 12-month bookings jumped 27% versus the same period a year ago thanks in large part to the success of the company's new hit title <i>Apex Legends</i>. After first launching <i>Apex Legends</i> in 2019, the free-to-play shooter game has quickly risen to 100 million players and is fast approaching $1 billion in annual bookings.&nbsp;Additionally, EA's management team announced plans to build on that success by launching a mobile version of <i>Apex</i> later this year.</p>\n<p>However, despite the enduring success that EA has demonstrated over the last decade, the company continues to trade at a favorable valuation. EA expects to generate roughly $2 billion in operating cash flow for the full year, but its market cap sits at just over $35 billion -- putting its enterprise-value-to-operating-cash-flow ratio at around 18 times. Management also appears to be cognizant of this attractive price, since it has repurchased $1.3 billion worth of its own shares over the last 12 months.</p>\n<p>Between the company's timeless franchises, its promising development potential, and the stock's current valuation, investors should be in for quite a positive decade.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>2 Video Game Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade</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\">\n2 Video Game Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-01 23:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/01/video-game-stocks-buy-and-hold-for-next-decade/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It's no secret that the video game industry has significantly evolved over the past few decades.

This would accelerate from a 0.7% monthly advance in September, which had been an unexpected increase at the time given that many economists were anticipating that a rise in Delta variant cases would weigh on spending during the month.</p>\n<p>\"Our data suggest broad-based improvement across major sectors, including restaurants, department stores and general merchandise,\" Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer wrote in a note on Friday. \"Netting out restaurants, gas and building materials, we look for the core control group to increase 0.5% [month-over-month]. Consumer spending remained resilient in October and will likely stay elevated as we head into the holiday season.\"</p>\n<p>If results come is as expected, October would mark a third straight monthly increase in retail sales. However, the rate of growth in consumer spending has slowed considerably in the second half of this year so far, compared to the first half when government stimulus checks and other economic support had helped pad consumers' wallets and stoke spending. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' last report on U.S. GDP showed that personal consumption slowed to a just 1.6% annualized rate in the third quarter, down from a 12.0% clip in the second.</p>\n<p>A jump in prices, as inflationary pressure reverberates across the recovering economy, is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> factor economists are closely watching as a potential anchor on consumer spending. While many companies have signaled in their latest earnings reports that they have been able to pass on prices to end users so far, consumers are beginning to take note of rising inflation.

This would accelerate from a 0.7% monthly advance in September, which had been an unexpected increase at the time given that many economists were anticipating that a rise in Delta variant cases would weigh on spending during the month.\n\"Our data suggest broad-based improvement across major sectors, including restaurants, department stores and general merchandise,\" Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer wrote in a note on Friday. \"Netting out restaurants, gas and building materials, we look for the core control group to increase 0.5% [month-over-month]. Consumer spending remained resilient in October and will likely stay elevated as we head into the holiday season.\"\nIf results come is as expected, October would mark a third straight monthly increase in retail sales. However, the rate of growth in consumer spending has slowed considerably in the second half of this year so far, compared to the first half when government stimulus checks and other economic support had helped pad consumers' wallets and stoke spending. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' last report on U.S. GDP showed that personal consumption slowed to a just 1.6% annualized rate in the third quarter, down from a 12.0% clip in the second.\nA jump in prices, as inflationary pressure reverberates across the recovering economy, is one factor economists are closely watching as a potential anchor on consumer spending. While many companies have signaled in their latest earnings reports that they have been able to pass on prices to end users so far, consumers are beginning to take note of rising inflation. Depending on the magnitude and extent of the price increases, this could have a further dampening effect on consumption.\nThe University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers highlighted last week that consumers expected inflation to rise by 4.9% over the next year, which was the highest print since 2008.

Previously confined to categories mostly associated with the economy’s reopening, the October data indicated a broadening of inflationary pressures.</p>\n<p>Forecasting inflation “has been incredibly challenging” over the past year and will remain tough, said Matthew Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DB\">Deutsche Bank AG</a>. “It is difficult to feel comfortable with a view that you are building in enough price pressures at the moment, and risks remain skewed to the upside for the inflation outlook.”</p>\n<p>Waking Up to Inflation</p>\n<p>Year-end U.S. consumer price estimates have been consistently revised up</p>\n<p>Source: Bloomberg Monthly Survey</p>\n<p>Since the start of the year, economists have been forced to ratchet up their projections for consumer price growth. What was once expected to be abit of mirage, with so-called base effects distorting the figure higher, has proved to be a much more persistent problem.</p>\n<p>Fed Chair Jerome <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/POWL\">Powell</a> and many of his colleagues have repeatedly said this year that inflation pressures will prove transitory. Last week Powellsaidhe won’t entertain interest-rate increases until the labor market heals further, even though inflation could run hot for months.</p>\n<p>Some prominent economists, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NWY\">New York</a> Fed President Bill Dudley, have beenwarningabout higher and more persistent inflation for nearly a year.</p>\n<p>Goods Rotation</p>\n<p>Many expected the vaccine rollout to embolden Americans, whose savings grew from government financial support, to transition more of their disposable income to services. President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AFG\">American</a> Rescue Plan, passed in March, included an extension of enhanced unemployment benefits and $1,400 checks for millions of consumers.</p>\n<p>The thinking was that as more people traveled, dined out and attended entertainment venues, the less they would spend on merchandise. That would, in turn, help remove some of the strains on the supply chain.</p>\n<p>But the delta wave of the virus kept massive pent-up demand skewed toward merchandise and added further strain to supply chains, particularly in Asia, said Ryan Sweet, head of monetary policy research at Moody’s Analytics Inc.</p>\n<p>Retail sales are well above pre-pandemic levels, while services spending has yet to catch up.</p>\n<p>“A big theme that people anticipated over 2021 was this big rotation within consumer spending from goods to services, and while that has happened to an extent, goods spending has exceeded expectations,” Luzzetti said.</p>\n<p>Continued strength in goods spending put added pressure on a fragile supply chain. Lean domestic inventories forced U.S. producers and retailers to step up import orders. At the same time, other economies around the world were stirring from their pandemic-related lockdowns.</p>\n<p>While Sweet expected late last year that supply chain issues would be more problematic and persistent than many thought, he’s been surprised by recent readings. “I didn’t think the CPI would get as high as it has recently,” said Sweet, who has consistently ranked high this year in Bloomberg’s quarterly lists of top forecasters.</p>\n<p>Complicating matters was Covid-19’s impact on the job market. Heading into this year, many economists projected ongoing slack in the labor market would help ease inflationary concerns.</p>\n<p>Instead, a depressed participation rate has pushed job openings to near-record levels and led to a record surge in wages. Large companies have raised prices to offset higher labor costs.</p>\n<p>Squeezed Firms</p>\n<p>“Businesses are being squeezed on both ends,” said Simona Mocuta, chief economist at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STT\">State</a> Street Global Advisors. This is happening against a backdrop of “strong consumer liquidity, so pricing power is improving.”</p>\n<p>As of October, the participation rate, which measures those employed or looking for work, has recovered less than half of its pandemic-related collapse. Many forecasters saw hiring constraints easing as schools reopened and supplemental unemployment benefits ended, but that hasn’t been the case.</p>\n<p>Higher energy prices are also contributing to faster inflation.</p>\n<p>Consumer prices for energy are up 30% from a year earlier, the largest annual advance since 2005.

Previously confined to categories mostly associated with the economy’s reopening, the October data indicated a broadening of inflationary pressures.\nForecasting inflation “has been incredibly challenging” over the past year and will remain tough, said Matthew Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank AG. “It is difficult to feel comfortable with a view that you are building in enough price pressures at the moment, and risks remain skewed to the upside for the inflation outlook.”\nWaking Up to Inflation\nYear-end U.S. consumer price estimates have been consistently revised up\nSource: Bloomberg Monthly Survey\nSince the start of the year, economists have been forced to ratchet up their projections for consumer price growth. What was once expected to be abit of mirage, with so-called base effects distorting the figure higher, has proved to be a much more persistent problem.\nFed Chair Jerome Powell and many of his colleagues have repeatedly said this year that inflation pressures will prove transitory. Last week Powellsaidhe won’t entertain interest-rate increases until the labor market heals further, even though inflation could run hot for months.\nSome prominent economists, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former New York Fed President Bill Dudley, have beenwarningabout higher and more persistent inflation for nearly a year.\nGoods Rotation\nMany expected the vaccine rollout to embolden Americans, whose savings grew from government financial support, to transition more of their disposable income to services. President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, passed in March, included an extension of enhanced unemployment benefits and $1,400 checks for millions of consumers.\nThe thinking was that as more people traveled, dined out and attended entertainment venues, the less they would spend on merchandise. That would, in turn, help remove some of the strains on the supply chain.\nBut the delta wave of the virus kept massive pent-up demand skewed toward merchandise and added further strain to supply chains, particularly in Asia, said Ryan Sweet, head of monetary policy research at Moody’s Analytics Inc.\nRetail sales are well above pre-pandemic levels, while services spending has yet to catch up.\n“A big theme that people anticipated over 2021 was this big rotation within consumer spending from goods to services, and while that has happened to an extent, goods spending has exceeded expectations,” Luzzetti said.\nContinued strength in goods spending put added pressure on a fragile supply chain. Lean domestic inventories forced U.S. producers and retailers to step up import orders. At the same time, other economies around the world were stirring from their pandemic-related lockdowns.\nWhile Sweet expected late last year that supply chain issues would be more problematic and persistent than many thought, he’s been surprised by recent readings. “I didn’t think the CPI would get as high as it has recently,” said Sweet, who has consistently ranked high this year in Bloomberg’s quarterly lists of top forecasters.\nComplicating matters was Covid-19’s impact on the job market. Heading into this year, many economists projected ongoing slack in the labor market would help ease inflationary concerns.\nInstead, a depressed participation rate has pushed job openings to near-record levels and led to a record surge in wages. Large companies have raised prices to offset higher labor costs.\nSqueezed Firms\n“Businesses are being squeezed on both ends,” said Simona Mocuta, chief economist at State Street Global Advisors. This is happening against a backdrop of “strong consumer liquidity, so pricing power is improving.”\nAs of October, the participation rate, which measures those employed or looking for work, has recovered less than half of its pandemic-related collapse. Many forecasters saw hiring constraints easing as schools reopened and supplemental unemployment benefits ended, but that hasn’t been the case.\nHigher energy prices are also contributing to faster inflation.\nConsumer prices for energy are up 30% from a year earlier, the largest annual advance since 2005. Gasoline is up nearly 50%. The price of electricity in October increased 6.5% from the same month a year ago, the most since March 2009.\nU.S. prices for natural gas and oil are trading close to multi-year highs amid a global squeeze on supplies, while labor shortages at U.S. coal mines create further price pressures. The Energy Information Administration expects this winter to be thecostliestsince at least 2014-2015.\nAmericans’ inflation expectations -- which tend to be closely tied to prices at the pump -- have also drifted higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":823,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":851072306,"gmtCreate":1634861794558,"gmtModify":1634861796835,"author":{"id":"3576734338410945","authorId":"3576734338410945","name":"Xpand","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8951f84bcf2a2cc2252a1bdbf30b15ce","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576734338410945","authorIdStr":"3576734338410945"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍🏻","listText":"👍🏻","text":"👍🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/851072306","repostId":"2177048462","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":946,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":859858790,"gmtCreate":1634688713166,"gmtModify":1634688713272,"author":{"id":"3576734338410945","authorId":"3576734338410945","name":"Xpand","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8951f84bcf2a2cc2252a1bdbf30b15ce","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576734338410945","authorIdStr":"3576734338410945"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍🏻","listText":"👍🏻","text":"👍🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/859858790","repostId":"2176710436","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2176710436","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1634683772,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2176710436?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-20 06:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends higher as investors bet on positive earnings season","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2176710436","media":"Reuters","summary":"Oct 19 (Reuters) - U.S. stock indexes closed higher on Tuesday with the biggest boosts from the tech","content":"<p>Oct 19 (Reuters) - U.S. stock indexes closed higher on Tuesday with the biggest boosts from the technology and healthcare sectors as investors appeared to bet on solid quarterly reports even as some worried that it was too early to celebrate.</p>\n<p>In its fifth straight session of gains, the benchmark S&amp;P 500 index finished just 0.4% below its early September record close while the Dow Jones Industrials average ended the day about 0.5% below its record reached in mid-August.</p>\n<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson's shares added 2.3% providing a big boost to the S&amp;P 500 after it raised its 2021 adjusted profit forecast.

That's why it's so important to pay attention to what those profit margins do going forward and what the trajectory of GDP looks like,\" said Eric Marshall, portfolio manager at Hodges Funds.\n\"Investors will be paying very close attention to pricing power, how companies are dealing with labor shortages and inflationary cost pressures within their business.\"\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 198.7 points, or 0.56%, to 35,457.31, the S&P 500 gained 33.17 points, or 0.74%, to 4,519.63 and the Nasdaq Composite added 107.28 points, or 0.71%, to 15,129.09.\nTen of the eleven major S&P 500 sectors closed higher, with healthcare stocks, up 1.3% after dropping 0.7% in Monday's session. The next biggest gainer was utilities , which rose 1.26% after falling almost 1% Monday.\nNetflix Inc, after closing up 0.2%, declined to gains while the bell when quarterly results showed that global interest in Korean thriller \"Squid Game\" lured more new customers than expected.\nTesla Inc, which closed down 0.7%, is due to release results on Wednesday, with investors watching for indications of its performance in China.\nProcter & Gamble Co, fell 1% during the session, after it warned that it would have to raise prices of some products to counter higher commodity and freight costs.\nHowever, Walmart Inc shares added 2% after being added to Goldman Sachs \"Americas Conviction List.\"\nHelping the healthcare sector on Tuesday was drugmaker Merck & Co Inc, which rose 3% while Pfizer Inc climbed 1.9% following the release of a competitor's COVID-19 drug study results.\nIts competitor, Atea Pharmaceuticals Inc, fell 66% after the company's antiviral pill, being developed with Roche , failed to help patients with mild and moderate COVID-19.\nAdvancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.51-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.69-to-1 ratio favored advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted 44 new 52-week highs and 1 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 72 new highs and 69 new lows.\nOn U.S. exchanges 9.5 billion shares changed hands compared with the 10.29 billion moving average for the last 20 sessions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":592,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":824369981,"gmtCreate":1634280186601,"gmtModify":1634280186601,"author":{"id":"3576734338410945","authorId":"3576734338410945","name":"Xpand","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8951f84bcf2a2cc2252a1bdbf30b15ce","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576734338410945","authorIdStr":"3576734338410945"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like

operations.</p>\n<p>Some 1,018 flights -- 28% of Southwest’s total for the day -- were canceled by the Dallas-based carrier as of 4:15 p.m. New York time, according to the airline tracking siteFlightAware.com. More than 500 other Southwest flights were delayed.</p>\n<p>The disruptions started Friday evening when weather conditions in Florida were compounded by air traffic control issues in the same region, a spokesperson for Southwest said Sunday.

This would accelerate from a 0.7% monthly advance in September, which had been an unexpected increase at the time given that many economists were anticipating that a rise in Delta variant cases would weigh on spending during the month.</p>\n<p>\"Our data suggest broad-based improvement across major sectors, including restaurants, department stores and general merchandise,\" Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer wrote in a note on Friday. \"Netting out restaurants, gas and building materials, we look for the core control group to increase 0.5% [month-over-month]. Consumer spending remained resilient in October and will likely stay elevated as we head into the holiday season.\"</p>\n<p>If results come is as expected, October would mark a third straight monthly increase in retail sales. However, the rate of growth in consumer spending has slowed considerably in the second half of this year so far, compared to the first half when government stimulus checks and other economic support had helped pad consumers' wallets and stoke spending. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' last report on U.S. GDP showed that personal consumption slowed to a just 1.6% annualized rate in the third quarter, down from a 12.0% clip in the second.</p>\n<p>A jump in prices, as inflationary pressure reverberates across the recovering economy, is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> factor economists are closely watching as a potential anchor on consumer spending. While many companies have signaled in their latest earnings reports that they have been able to pass on prices to end users so far, consumers are beginning to take note of rising inflation. Depending on the magnitude and extent of the price increases, this could have a further dampening effect on consumption.</p>\n<p>The University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers highlighted last week that consumers expected inflation to rise by 4.9% over the next year, which was the highest print since 2008. And the headline index for the University of Michigan showed that the overall sentiment index fell to a 10-year low in early November, in large part reflecting concerns over how inflation would impact consumers' finances. This report came just two days after the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October showed that inflation jumped by a greater-than-expected 6.2% compared to the prior year, marking the fastest annual rise since 1990.</p>\n<p>\"It does take a while before a drop in consumer sentiment actually impacts spending,\" Yung-Yu Ma, BMO Wealth Management's chief investment strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live last week.</p>\n<p>\"That's going to be one of the big things going forward, to see whether or not that consumer sentiment can bounce back, whether consumers will be resilient in the face of these price pressures, or whether they'll start to pull back a bit and decide they're going to hold off on spending and wait to see when prices come down or at least stabilize before they spend more in the new year,\" he said. \"So that remains to be seen, and that is a big question mark as we go into 2022.\"</p>\n<h2>Big box retailers report earnings</h2>\n<p>Quarterly earnings results from companies including Walmart and Target will also be monitored this week as a proxy of consumers' propensity to spend, especially heading into the critical holiday shopping season. The results and earnings calls will also likely include more commentary around how shipping delays and supply chain disruptions are impacting America's largest retailers.</p>\n<p>A back-to-school season that saw many students return to class in-person likely helped stoke spending at both Walmart and Target. Growth still likely slowed compared to earlier on during the pandemic, however, when the companies had benefited from a consumer shift to spending on goods rather than on services, and to big-box stores that would allow them to get all their shopping needs done in one trip during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Walmart's sales are expected to grow just 1% on a year-over-year basis to reach $135.5 billion, data from Bloomberg showed. This would mark the slowest top-line growth rate since the first quarter of 2020. Total Walmart U.S. same-store sales are expected to grow 7%, however, to accelerate from the prior quarter's 5.4% increase. Walmart U.S. operating margins are also expected to expand to 5.35%, compared to 5.2% in the same quarter last year, but may contract compared to the 6.2% margin posted in the second quarter this year.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc803a27e7a5de4f45494c90d84e6e2c\" tg-width=\"6720\" tg-height=\"4480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The logo of Walmart is seen outside of a new Walmart Store in San Salvador, El Salvador, August 21, 2018. REUTERS/Jose CabezasJose Cabezas / Reuters</p>\n<p>Already last quarter, Walmart executives highlighted during their last earnings call in August that \"out of stocks in certain general merchandise categories\" were \"running above normal given strong sales and supply constraints,\" presaging what many other companies have highlighted in their own earnings results in recent weeks. The firm added at the time that they were also taking steps to try and circumvent supply snarls, including chartering vessels specifically for Walmart goods. All these measures, however, also incur additional costs.</p>\n<p>Target, for its part, also mentioned it was trying to maneuver around supply chain disruptions on its latest earnings call as well.</p>\n<p>\"Our team has been successfully addressing supply chain bottlenecks, which are affecting both domestic freight and international shipping. Steps include expedited ordering and larger upfront quantities in advance of a season, mitigating the risk that replenishments could take longer than usual,\" said Target Chief Operating Officer John Mulligan in August. \"Bottom line, with Q2 ending inventory up more than 26% or nearly $2.5 billion compared to a year ago, we believe we're well-positioned for the fall and ready to deliver strong growth on top of last year's record increase.\"</p>\n<p>Target is expected to see revenue grow 8% to $24.09 billion in its fiscal third quarter, also slowing compared to its 9% growth rate in the second quarter and 21% year-over-year increase in the same period last year. Closely watched same-store sales are expected to rise b 8.3%, or slower than the 8.9% rate in the second quarter. Digital same-store sales, however, are anticipated to accelerate sequentially to a 13.25% clip, on top of the 155% digital sales growth Target posted in the same period last year.</p>\n<p>Commentary around labor supply shortages and hiring trends will also be closely watched for both Target and Walmart. In September, Target said it would be hiring 100,000 seasonal employees for the holidays, or fewer than the more than 130,000 workers it hired in each of the last two holiday seasons. It planned to instead provide more hours and pay to its slightly smaller holiday workforce this year.</p>\n<p>Walmart said in September it was planning to hire about 150,000 new U.S. store workers ahead of the holidays, with most of these comprising permanent and full-time roles.</p>\n<h2>Economic calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Empire Manufacturing, Nov.

This would accelerate from a 0.7% monthly advance in September, which had been an unexpected increase at the time given that many economists were anticipating that a rise in Delta variant cases would weigh on spending during the month.\n\"Our data suggest broad-based improvement across major sectors, including restaurants, department stores and general merchandise,\" Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer wrote in a note on Friday. \"Netting out restaurants, gas and building materials, we look for the core control group to increase 0.5% [month-over-month]. Consumer spending remained resilient in October and will likely stay elevated as we head into the holiday season.\"\nIf results come is as expected, October would mark a third straight monthly increase in retail sales. However, the rate of growth in consumer spending has slowed considerably in the second half of this year so far, compared to the first half when government stimulus checks and other economic support had helped pad consumers' wallets and stoke spending. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' last report on U.S. GDP showed that personal consumption slowed to a just 1.6% annualized rate in the third quarter, down from a 12.0% clip in the second.\nA jump in prices, as inflationary pressure reverberates across the recovering economy, is one factor economists are closely watching as a potential anchor on consumer spending. While many companies have signaled in their latest earnings reports that they have been able to pass on prices to end users so far, consumers are beginning to take note of rising inflation. Depending on the magnitude and extent of the price increases, this could have a further dampening effect on consumption.\nThe University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers highlighted last week that consumers expected inflation to rise by 4.9% over the next year, which was the highest print since 2008. And the headline index for the University of Michigan showed that the overall sentiment index fell to a 10-year low in early November, in large part reflecting concerns over how inflation would impact consumers' finances. This report came just two days after the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October showed that inflation jumped by a greater-than-expected 6.2% compared to the prior year, marking the fastest annual rise since 1990.\n\"It does take a while before a drop in consumer sentiment actually impacts spending,\" Yung-Yu Ma, BMO Wealth Management's chief investment strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live last week.\n\"That's going to be one of the big things going forward, to see whether or not that consumer sentiment can bounce back, whether consumers will be resilient in the face of these price pressures, or whether they'll start to pull back a bit and decide they're going to hold off on spending and wait to see when prices come down or at least stabilize before they spend more in the new year,\" he said. \"So that remains to be seen, and that is a big question mark as we go into 2022.\"\nBig box retailers report earnings\nQuarterly earnings results from companies including Walmart and Target will also be monitored this week as a proxy of consumers' propensity to spend, especially heading into the critical holiday shopping season. The results and earnings calls will also likely include more commentary around how shipping delays and supply chain disruptions are impacting America's largest retailers.\nA back-to-school season that saw many students return to class in-person likely helped stoke spending at both Walmart and Target. Growth still likely slowed compared to earlier on during the pandemic, however, when the companies had benefited from a consumer shift to spending on goods rather than on services, and to big-box stores that would allow them to get all their shopping needs done in one trip during the pandemic.\nWalmart's sales are expected to grow just 1% on a year-over-year basis to reach $135.5 billion, data from Bloomberg showed. This would mark the slowest top-line growth rate since the first quarter of 2020. Total Walmart U.S. same-store sales are expected to grow 7%, however, to accelerate from the prior quarter's 5.4% increase. Walmart U.S. operating margins are also expected to expand to 5.35%, compared to 5.2% in the same quarter last year, but may contract compared to the 6.2% margin posted in the second quarter this year.\nThe logo of Walmart is seen outside of a new Walmart Store in San Salvador, El Salvador, August 21, 2018. REUTERS/Jose CabezasJose Cabezas / Reuters\nAlready last quarter, Walmart executives highlighted during their last earnings call in August that \"out of stocks in certain general merchandise categories\" were \"running above normal given strong sales and supply constraints,\" presaging what many other companies have highlighted in their own earnings results in recent weeks. The firm added at the time that they were also taking steps to try and circumvent supply snarls, including chartering vessels specifically for Walmart goods. All these measures, however, also incur additional costs.\nTarget, for its part, also mentioned it was trying to maneuver around supply chain disruptions on its latest earnings call as well.\n\"Our team has been successfully addressing supply chain bottlenecks, which are affecting both domestic freight and international shipping. Steps include expedited ordering and larger upfront quantities in advance of a season, mitigating the risk that replenishments could take longer than usual,\" said Target Chief Operating Officer John Mulligan in August. \"Bottom line, with Q2 ending inventory up more than 26% or nearly $2.5 billion compared to a year ago, we believe we're well-positioned for the fall and ready to deliver strong growth on top of last year's record increase.\"\nTarget is expected to see revenue grow 8% to $24.09 billion in its fiscal third quarter, also slowing compared to its 9% growth rate in the second quarter and 21% year-over-year increase in the same period last year. Closely watched same-store sales are expected to rise b 8.3%, or slower than the 8.9% rate in the second quarter. Digital same-store sales, however, are anticipated to accelerate sequentially to a 13.25% clip, on top of the 155% digital sales growth Target posted in the same period last year.\nCommentary around labor supply shortages and hiring trends will also be closely watched for both Target and Walmart. In September, Target said it would be hiring 100,000 seasonal employees for the holidays, or fewer than the more than 130,000 workers it hired in each of the last two holiday seasons. It planned to instead provide more hours and pay to its slightly smaller holiday workforce this year.\nWalmart said in September it was planning to hire about 150,000 new U.S. store workers ahead of the holidays, with most of these comprising permanent and full-time roles.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Empire Manufacturing, Nov.

From clunky old consoles with physical game cartridges to downloadable games, the industry has changed dramatically thanks to constant innovation.</p>\n<p>But while the modes of gameplay have changed, many of the most popular franchises have shown a remarkable ability to stick around. Hit titles like <b>Nintendo</b>'s (OTC:NTDOY) <i>Mario Brothers</i> and <b>Electronic Arts</b>' (NASDAQ:EA) <i>FIFA</i> and <i>Madden</i> series have adapted to users' preferred gaming styles and progressed with the technology around them.</p>\n<p>As the upcoming decade presents even more change, betting on both Nintendo and Electronic Arts is an easy way to capitalize on the dynamic video game sector.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a3d0eb3ae045ee72a3a5fe41c666f9a\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"480\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Nintendo</h2>\n<p>Unlike most companies in the gaming space, Nintendo hasn't just been the recipient of technological change -- it's actually created it. Since Nintendo has almost always paired its games exclusively with its own hardware, the company has endured numerous boom and bust cycles. However, that process appears to be changing.</p>\n<p>According to research firm NPD Group, Nintendo has been home to the best-selling video game console worldwide -- the Nintendo Switch -- for 34 of the last 35 months.&nbsp;But unlike with Nintendo's previous consoles, users' accounts are no longer tied to a specific piece of hardware. Instead, users can save their progress and content through their online memberships.</p>\n<p>This digital focus also helps ease the transition across Nintendo's various Switch iterations. So as users upgrade from the original Switch to the Switch Lite, and now most recently to the Switch OLED model, they no longer need to restart from square <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, but can instead save their progress and access games across different pieces of hardware. Not only does this encourage additional console upgrades and keep customers in the Nintendo ecosystem for longer, but it also makes Nintendo's game development process more lucrative.</p>\n<p>As the company builds new downloadable games from its famous franchises like <i>Pokémon</i>,&nbsp;<i>Zelda</i>, <i>Mario</i>, and more, the active user base for Nintendo to sell to consistently grows. So far, Nintendo has sold more than 90 million total units of the Switch platform, and it has already touted 79 million playing users in the first half of this year alone.</p>\n<p>With the upcoming slate of games containing several long-anticipated titles like <i>Pokémon Brilliant Diamond</i>, <i>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</i>, and add-on content for <i>Animal Crossing</i>,&nbsp;Nintendo has upgraded its full-year guidance and expects to sell 200 million software units (game sales) for 2021 -- a 19% increase from its 2019 figure.</p>\n<p>However, despite Nintendo's promising outlook, concerns over cyclicality and the company's risk-averse management team have hampered the stock price.&nbsp;Nintendo's current enterprise value (market cap minus net cash) to expected full-year operating income ratio stands at 9.1 -- far lower than those of many of its gaming peers.</p>\n<p>Over the coming years, as Nintendo continues to add new iterations to the Switch platform and grow its active user base, its profits should trend steadily higher.</p>\n<h2>2. Electronic Arts</h2>\n<p>Electronic Arts, also known as EA, is a video game publisher that's most popular for its sports-based franchises <i>FIFA</i> and <i>Madden</i>. Over the last decade, while many of the company's prominent titles have stayed consistent, EA's business model has changed dramatically. Propelled by an industry-wide shift to live services, EA has become increasingly digital. In fact, prior to the introduction of live gameplay and digital downloads, EA generated most of its revenue through the sales of physical games. This meant that the value of a video game often stopped at the initial purchase. But that has since changed.</p>\n<p>Since 2017, EA's bookings (money committed by customers but not entirely recognized as revenue yet) from live services have compounded by more than 35% per year,&nbsp;and in the most recent quarter accounted for 62% of the company's overall bookings.&nbsp;Additionally, more than 60% of the company's initial game sales are now completely digital.&nbsp;Since this requires less manufacturing and distribution costs, EA's per-unit profit margins have increased as well. This transition has helped EA improve its gross margins from less than 40% a decade ago&nbsp;to 73% in the most recent quarter.</p>\n<p>But the company's growth isn't all in the past. In the most recent quarter, EA's trailing 12-month bookings jumped 27% versus the same period a year ago thanks in large part to the success of the company's new hit title <i>Apex Legends</i>. After first launching <i>Apex Legends</i> in 2019, the free-to-play shooter game has quickly risen to 100 million players and is fast approaching $1 billion in annual bookings.&nbsp;Additionally, EA's management team announced plans to build on that success by launching a mobile version of <i>Apex</i> later this year.</p>\n<p>However, despite the enduring success that EA has demonstrated over the last decade, the company continues to trade at a favorable valuation.

From clunky old consoles with physical game cartridges to downloadable games, the industry has changed dramatically thanks to constant innovation.\nBut while the modes of gameplay have changed, many of the most popular franchises have shown a remarkable ability to stick around. Hit titles like Nintendo's (OTC:NTDOY) Mario Brothers and Electronic Arts' (NASDAQ:EA) FIFA and Madden series have adapted to users' preferred gaming styles and progressed with the technology around them.\nAs the upcoming decade presents even more change, betting on both Nintendo and Electronic Arts is an easy way to capitalize on the dynamic video game sector.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Nintendo\nUnlike most companies in the gaming space, Nintendo hasn't just been the recipient of technological change -- it's actually created it. Since Nintendo has almost always paired its games exclusively with its own hardware, the company has endured numerous boom and bust cycles. However, that process appears to be changing.\nAccording to research firm NPD Group, Nintendo has been home to the best-selling video game console worldwide -- the Nintendo Switch -- for 34 of the last 35 months. But unlike with Nintendo's previous consoles, users' accounts are no longer tied to a specific piece of hardware. Instead, users can save their progress and content through their online memberships.\nThis digital focus also helps ease the transition across Nintendo's various Switch iterations. So as users upgrade from the original Switch to the Switch Lite, and now most recently to the Switch OLED model, they no longer need to restart from square one, but can instead save their progress and access games across different pieces of hardware. Not only does this encourage additional console upgrades and keep customers in the Nintendo ecosystem for longer, but it also makes Nintendo's game development process more lucrative.\nAs the company builds new downloadable games from its famous franchises like Pokémon, Zelda, Mario, and more, the active user base for Nintendo to sell to consistently grows. So far, Nintendo has sold more than 90 million total units of the Switch platform, and it has already touted 79 million playing users in the first half of this year alone.\nWith the upcoming slate of games containing several long-anticipated titles like Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and add-on content for Animal Crossing, Nintendo has upgraded its full-year guidance and expects to sell 200 million software units (game sales) for 2021 -- a 19% increase from its 2019 figure.\nHowever, despite Nintendo's promising outlook, concerns over cyclicality and the company's risk-averse management team have hampered the stock price. Nintendo's current enterprise value (market cap minus net cash) to expected full-year operating income ratio stands at 9.1 -- far lower than those of many of its gaming peers.\nOver the coming years, as Nintendo continues to add new iterations to the Switch platform and grow its active user base, its profits should trend steadily higher.\n2. Electronic Arts\nElectronic Arts, also known as EA, is a video game publisher that's most popular for its sports-based franchises FIFA and Madden. Over the last decade, while many of the company's prominent titles have stayed consistent, EA's business model has changed dramatically. Propelled by an industry-wide shift to live services, EA has become increasingly digital. In fact, prior to the introduction of live gameplay and digital downloads, EA generated most of its revenue through the sales of physical games. This meant that the value of a video game often stopped at the initial purchase. But that has since changed.\nSince 2017, EA's bookings (money committed by customers but not entirely recognized as revenue yet) from live services have compounded by more than 35% per year, and in the most recent quarter accounted for 62% of the company's overall bookings. Additionally, more than 60% of the company's initial game sales are now completely digital. Since this requires less manufacturing and distribution costs, EA's per-unit profit margins have increased as well. This transition has helped EA improve its gross margins from less than 40% a decade ago to 73% in the most recent quarter.\nBut the company's growth isn't all in the past. In the most recent quarter, EA's trailing 12-month bookings jumped 27% versus the same period a year ago thanks in large part to the success of the company's new hit title Apex Legends. After first launching Apex Legends in 2019, the free-to-play shooter game has quickly risen to 100 million players and is fast approaching $1 billion in annual bookings. Additionally, EA's management team announced plans to build on that success by launching a mobile version of Apex later this year.\nHowever, despite the enduring success that EA has demonstrated over the last decade, the company continues to trade at a favorable valuation. EA expects to generate roughly $2 billion in operating cash flow for the full year, but its market cap sits at just over $35 billion -- putting its enterprise-value-to-operating-cash-flow ratio at around 18 times. Management also appears to be cognizant of this attractive price, since it has repurchased $1.3 billion worth of its own shares over the last 12 months.\nBetween the company's timeless franchises, its promising development potential, and the stock's current valuation, investors should be in for quite a positive decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":658,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":851072306,"gmtCreate":1634861794558,"gmtModify":1634861796835,"author":{"id":"3576734338410945","authorId":"3576734338410945","name":"Xpand","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8951f84bcf2a2cc2252a1bdbf30b15ce","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576734338410945","authorIdStr":"3576734338410945"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍🏻","listText":"👍🏻","text":"👍🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/851072306","repostId":"2177048462","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":946,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
