That exuberance breeds the “rationalization” that “this time is different.” So how do you know the market is exuberant currently? Via Sentiment Trader:”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n <i>‘This type of market activity is an indication that markets have returned their ‘enthusiasm’ stage. Such is characterized by:’</i>\n</blockquote>\n<ul>\n <li><b><i>High optimism</i></b></li>\n <li><b><i>Easy credit (too easy, with loose terms)</i></b></li>\n <li><b><i>A rush of initial and secondary offerings</i></b></li>\n <li><b><i>Risky stocks outperforming</i></b></li>\n <li><b><i>Stretched valuations</i></b></li>\n</ul>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff8de3a84084162ca86b415584bbf793\" tg-width=\"731\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>However, while one would expect individuals to exhibit caution in such an environment, the opposite is true. Given the Fed’s ongoing balance sheet operations, investors fully believe they have protection from a decline.</p>\n<p><b>A Visualization Of A Market Melting-Up</b></p>\n<p>It is often easier to visualize something rather than explain it.<b>Since 1900, only two previous market periods qualify as a melt-up: 1920-1929 and 1995-2000.</b>The chart below shows both periods in terms of price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a218c7efe2ebd874d05c9ff7dd564436\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"437\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f193c9c32d55747bf7ff511c2f9fd53\" tg-width=\"793\" tg-height=\"439\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>However, the melt-up is also visually represented by the incredibly sharp rise in valuations. Such is essential because earnings are not rising at a fast enough clip to support higher prices.<b>As is always the case, the investing public believes future earnings will justify higher prices during a melt-up. It just never works out that way.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c69e418d5a19d6fd03b305ab111e3be3\" tg-width=\"794\" tg-height=\"440\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/af03d3bbd071b8edfdf3a19e2c7b0bcd\" tg-width=\"796\" tg-height=\"437\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>We can compare those two previous periods with the current advance from the March 2020 lows.

It just never works out that way.\nWhile it is essential to take advantage of the melt-up while it lasts, just don’t become overly complacent “this time is different”.\n\nIs the“market melting-up?”Such was the question I received from my colleague atCut The Crap Investing.It is an excellent question given the relentless increase in what investors believe is a“no risk”market.\nOf course, we need a definition of precisely what constitutes a melt-up.\n\n“A melt-up is a sustained and often unexpected improvement in the investment performance of an asset or asset class, driven partly\nby a stampede of investors who don’t want to miss out on its rise,\nrather than by fundamental improvements in the economy.“–\n Investopedia\n\nCurrently, there is sufficient evidence to support the idea of an exuberant market.As noted previously:\n\n“Near peaks of market cycles, investors become swept up by the underlying exuberance. That exuberance breeds the “rationalization” that “this time is different.” So how do you know the market is exuberant currently? Via Sentiment Trader:”\n\n\n‘This type of market activity is an indication that markets have returned their ‘enthusiasm’ stage. Such is characterized by:’\n\n\nHigh optimism\nEasy credit (too easy, with loose terms)\nA rush of initial and secondary offerings\nRisky stocks outperforming\nStretched valuations\n\n\nHowever, while one would expect individuals to exhibit caution in such an environment, the opposite is true. Given the Fed’s ongoing balance sheet operations, investors fully believe they have protection from a decline.\nA Visualization Of A Market Melting-Up\nIt is often easier to visualize something rather than explain it.Since 1900, only two previous market periods qualify as a melt-up: 1920-1929 and 1995-2000.The chart below shows both periods in terms of price.\n\nHowever, the melt-up is also visually represented by the incredibly sharp rise in valuations. Such is essential because earnings are not rising at a fast enough clip to support higher prices.As is always the case, the investing public believes future earnings will justify higher prices during a melt-up. It just never works out that way.\n\nWe can compare those two previous periods with the current advance from the March 2020 lows. Again, we see a very similar sharp advance in price combined with a surge in valuations. As expected, investors are currently hoping that future earnings will rise sharply enough to justify current prices. However, the justification for paying high prices is the Federal Reserve’s ongoing balance sheet expansion.\n\nThe following chart looks that the price advance and valuation measures a little differently. It shows the current deviation from the long-term exponential growth trend. Not surprisingly, during a market“melt-up,”there is a rapid deviation from the growth trend matching the acceleration in valuations.\n\nThe problem with market“melt-ups”is not the melt-up itself but what always follows.\nMelting-Up Leads To Melting-Down\nA market melting-up is exciting while it lasts. During melt-ups, investors begin to rationalize why“this time is different.”They start taking on excess leverage to try and capitalize on the rapid advance in prices, and fundamentals take a back seat to price momentum.\nMarket melt-ups are all about“psychology.”Historically, whatever has been the catalyst to spark the disregard of risk is readily witnessed in the corresponding surge in price and valuations.The chart below shows the long-term deviations in relative strength, deviations, and valuations. The previous‘melt-up”periods should be easy to spot when compared with the advance currently.\n\nGiven that current extensions match only a few rare periods in history, a couple of points should be readily apparent.\n\nMelt-ups can longer than logic would predict.\nThe prevailing psychology is always “this time is different.”\nValuations are dismissed in exchange for measures of momentum and forward expectations.\nInvestors take on excess leverage and risk in order to participate in a seemingly “can’t lose” market.\nLastly, and inevitably, “melt-ups” end and always in the worst possible outcomes.\n\nIt is essential to recognize the markets are in a“melt-up,” and the duration of that event is unknowable. Therefore, investors need a strategy to participate in the advance and mitigate the damage from the eventual“melting-down.”\nSurviving The Melt-Up\nAs noted, none of this means the next“bear market”is lurking.Given that a market melting-up is a function of psychology, they can last longer and go further than logic would predict. What is required to “end”a melt-up is an unanticipated exogenous event that changes psychology from bullish to bearish. Such is when the stampede for the exits occurs, and prices decline very quickly.\nAs such, investors need a set of guidelines to participate in the market advance. But, of course, the hard part is keeping those gains when corrections inevitably occur.\nAs portfolio managers for our clients, such is precisely the approach we must take. Accordingly, I have provided a general overview of the process that we employ.\n\nTighten up stop-loss levelsto current support levels for each position.(Provides identifiable exit points when the market reverses.)\nHedge portfoliosagainst major market declines.(Non-correlated assets, short-market positions, index put options)\nTake profitsin positions that have been big winners(Rebalancing overbought or extended positions to capture gains but continue to participate in the advance.)\nSell laggardsand losers.(If something isn’t working in a market melt-up, it most likely won’t work during a broad decline.

However, the categories posting the biggest declines were areas like e-commerce shops and grocery stores, suggesting consumer behavior was shifting back toward stay-in-place trends and away from in-person events like restaurant dining amid the latest wave of the coronavirus.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Durable goods orders, August preliminary (0.6% expected, -0.1% in July); Durable goods excluding transportation, August preliminary (0.5% expected, 0.8% in July); Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, August preliminary (0.3% expected, 0.1% in July); Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, August preliminary (0.9% in July); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, September (11.0 expected, 9.0 in July)\nTuesday: Advance goods trade balance, August (-$87.0 billion expected, -$86.4 billion in July); Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, August preliminary (0.6% in July); Retail inventories, month-over-month, August (0.4% in July); FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, July (1.5% expected, 1.6% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Index, month-over-month, July (1.62% expected, 1.77% in June); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Index, month-over-month, July (20.1% expected, 19.08% in June); Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, September (114.2 expected, 113.8 in August); Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index, September (9 in August)\nWednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended September 24 (4.9% during prior month); Pending home sales, month-over-month, August (1.0% expected, -1.8% in July)\nThursday: Initial jobless claims, week ended September 25 (320,000 expected, 351,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended September 18 (2.845 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, second-quarter third estimate (6.7% expected, 6.6% in prior estimate); Personal consumption, second-quarter third estimate (11.9% in prior estimate); Core personal consumption expenditures, second quarter third estimate (6.1% in prior estimate); MNI Chicago PMI, September (65.0 expected, 66.8 in August)\nFriday: Personal income, August (0.2% expected, 1.1% in July); Personal spending, August (0.7% expected, 0.3% in July); Personal consumption expenditures core deflator, month-over-over, August (0.2% expected, 0.3% in July); Personal consumption expenditures core deflator, year-over-year, August (3.6% expected, 3.6% in July); Markit manufacturing PMI, September final (60.5 in prior estimate); Construction spending, month-over-month, August (0.3% expected, 0.3% in July); University of Michigan sentiment, September final (71.0 expected, 71.0 in prior print); ISM Manufacturing, September (59.5 expected, 59.9 in August)\n\nEarnings calendar\n\nMonday: Aurora Cannabis (ACB) after market close\nTuesday: Micron Technology (MU) after market close.\nWednesday: No notable reports scheduled for release\nThursday: CarMax (KMX), Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) before market open; Jefferies (JEF) after market close\nFriday: No notable reports scheduled for releas","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":866105130,"gmtCreate":1632743298320,"gmtModify":1632798179921,"author":{"id":"3577956622347630","authorId":"3577956622347630","name":"Darrencwj","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like pls&nbsp;","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/866105130","repostId":"1181447331","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1181447331","pubTimestamp":1632743085,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1181447331?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-27 19:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Google Counters EU Attack on Its Mobile Money-Making Machine","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1181447331","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Search giant challenges $5 billion fine, order over Android\nVictory for Google could hamper regulato","content":"<ul>\n <li>Search giant challenges $5 billion fine, order over Android</li>\n <li>Victory for Google could hamper regulators’ big-tech crusade</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Google&nbsp;lashed out in court at the&nbsp;European Union&nbsp;regulators who levied a record-breaking $5 billion fine and imposed an antitrust order that struck at the heart of the U.S. tech giant’s ability to make money.</p>\n<p>The search giant’s power over mobile phones is the focus of a week-long hearing at the EU’s General Court in Luxembourg.

Intuitive Surgical</h2>\n<p>Healthcare stock Intuitive Surgical trades at a price-to-earnings ratio (or P/E) of 76. That's extremely high when you consider that the average holding in the <b>Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund</b> trades at just 27 times its profits.&nbsp;Value investors may be tempted to skip over Intuitive Surgical given such a high valuation.</p>\n<p>But the robotic-assisted surgery company is still in its very early growth stages. Analysts from Market Research Future project that the surgical robotics market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17% until 2027. And by then, it will still be worth only $13.7 billion. Healthcare giant&nbsp;<b>Johnson &amp; Johnson&nbsp;</b>records more revenue in just a three-month period.</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is a long-term play. It could take more than 10 years for this company to really take off and be anywhere near the top players in the healthcare industry. But it has been generating good numbers already. During the trailing 12 months, the company has reported earnings of $1.6 billion on sales of $5.2 billion for an impressive profit margin of more than 31%. That's far better than the 20% of revenue that Johnson &amp; Johnson has been banking as profit over the past year.</p>\n<p>Key to Intuitive Surgical's growth are its da Vinci systems, which help surgeons perform complex and delicate procedures, utilizing robotics. The pandemic has negatively impacted its business as hospitals have pushed off procedures. Yet for the quarter ended June 30, the company shipped 328 of its surgical systems -- an 84% increase from a year ago. And the number of da Vinci procedures was also up 68% from the prior-year period. That boosted Intuitive Surgical's revenue by 72% to $1.46 billion.</p>\n<p>Demand for the company's da Vinci systems looks to be strong, and that's why this could make for a promising growth stock to hold for many years to come.</p>\n<h2>2. Amazon</h2>\n<p>Online retail giant Amazon is never a cheap stock to own. Its P/E of 58 is a bit lower than it has been in previous years, but that's largely to do with the surge in consumer purchases during the pandemic -- which have given its profits a big boost. In the past, it wouldn't be uncommon for the stock to be trading at more than 100 times its earnings.</p>\n<p>In 2020, the company's net sales of $386 billion were more than double the $178 billion it reported just three years earlier. Doubling revenue for a company of Amazon's size is no small feat. What's even more impressive is that during that time, its bottom line skyrocketed from just $3 billion to more than $21 billion.</p>\n<p>And while Amazon has been diversifying its business to include its subscription-related products, Amazon Web Services, and the grocery business (through Whole Foods), the company's online stores and third-party seller services still make up more than 70% of its top line.</p>\n<p>The company's wide array of expertise and resources gives Amazon many ways it can enter new markets and segments. One of its most recent areas of interest has been healthcare. Last year, it launched Amazon Pharmacy, a delivery service to help customers stay on top of their prescriptions. There were also rumors earlier this year that the business would take it even a step further and launch physical pharmacies, potentially going up against retail pharmacy chains <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBA\">Walgreens Boots Alliance</a> </b>and&nbsp;<b>CVS Health</b>.</p>\n<p>For a business that has $90 billion in cash and marketable securities on its books as of June 30, Amazon can entertain any growth opportunity it wants. Amazon's stock will always command a premium as its business is synonymous with innovation. Given its dominance in the online world and many growth opportunities still out there, it is another stock that could be worth just buying and holding onto for many years.</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 Expensive Stocks That Can Still Produce Great Returns in the Long Run</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 Expensive Stocks That Can Still Produce Great Returns in the Long Run\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-25 09:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/24/2-expensive-stocks-that-can-still-produce-great-re/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Valuation multiples can help compare stocks and provide ways for investors to identify value.

That boosted Intuitive Surgical's revenue by 72% to $1.46 billion.\nDemand for the company's da Vinci systems looks to be strong, and that's why this could make for a promising growth stock to hold for many years to come.\n2. Amazon\nOnline retail giant Amazon is never a cheap stock to own. Its P/E of 58 is a bit lower than it has been in previous years, but that's largely to do with the surge in consumer purchases during the pandemic -- which have given its profits a big boost. In the past, it wouldn't be uncommon for the stock to be trading at more than 100 times its earnings.\nIn 2020, the company's net sales of $386 billion were more than double the $178 billion it reported just three years earlier. Doubling revenue for a company of Amazon's size is no small feat. What's even more impressive is that during that time, its bottom line skyrocketed from just $3 billion to more than $21 billion.\nAnd while Amazon has been diversifying its business to include its subscription-related products, Amazon Web Services, and the grocery business (through Whole Foods), the company's online stores and third-party seller services still make up more than 70% of its top line.\nThe company's wide array of expertise and resources gives Amazon many ways it can enter new markets and segments. One of its most recent areas of interest has been healthcare. Last year, it launched Amazon Pharmacy, a delivery service to help customers stay on top of their prescriptions. There were also rumors earlier this year that the business would take it even a step further and launch physical pharmacies, potentially going up against retail pharmacy chains Walgreens Boots Alliance and CVS Health.\nFor a business that has $90 billion in cash and marketable securities on its books as of June 30, Amazon can entertain any growth opportunity it wants. Amazon's stock will always command a premium as its business is synonymous with innovation. Given its dominance in the online world and many growth opportunities still out there, it is another stock that could be worth just buying and holding onto for many years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":238,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868060012,"gmtCreate":1632552837736,"gmtModify":1632658143755,"author":{"id":"3577956622347630","authorId":"3577956622347630","name":"Darrencwj","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like pls&nbsp;","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868060012","repostId":"2170611559","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2170611559","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":"1086160438","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a113a995fbbc262262d15a5ce37e7bc5"},"pubTimestamp":1632532041,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2170611559?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 09:07","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Tesla Announces Updates To 2021 Annual Meeting Of Stockholders","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2170611559","media":"Reuters","summary":"Tesla Inc:Tesla Announces Updates To 2021 Annual Meeting Of Stockholders.Tesla Inc - 2021 Annual Mee","content":"<p>Tesla Inc:Tesla Announces Updates To 2021 Annual Meeting Of Stockholders.Tesla Inc - 2021 Annual Meeting Will Be Presented From Tesla'S Gigafactory In Austin, Texas On Thursday, October 7, 2021, In A Virtual-Only Format.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.</p>\n<p>The performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0fc99bca07cdb144fe2c7208776aed8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>It’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.</p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.</p>\n<p>While the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge of<b>Walmart’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) eCommerce &amp; Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.</p>\n<p>Ashe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.</p>\n<p>In the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.</p>\n<p>InJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.</p>\n<p>Cornerstone Building Brands (CNR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60a34aa2f9805656c3d30d8bf03763eb\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick</p>\n<p>Of all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.</p>\n<p>The North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair &amp; remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.</p>\n<p>Although the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.</p>\n<p>Since the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.</p>\n<p>A prominent owner of Cornerstone stock is<b>BlueTower Asset Management</b>, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.</p>\n<p>Here’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:</p>\n<p>“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.</p>\n<p>“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”</p>\n<p>What’s not to like?</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00df020d2a1a57e564587b5d95e0c571\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>If you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.</p>\n<p>In October 2019,<b>Post Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>POST</u></b>) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO. It used the proceeds to pay down some debt owed to the parent and buy shares of the operating company, BellRing Brands LLC.</p>\n<p>After the IPO, Post owned 71% of BRBR stock. In August 2021, Post announced thatit plans to distributemost of this stake to shareholders.

In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.\nHe’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for theS&P 500 indexover the same period.\nOver the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.\n“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.\nHere’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:\n“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.\n“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”\nWhat’s not to like?\nStocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nIf you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.\nIn October 2019,Post Holdings(NYSE:POST) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO. It used the proceeds to pay down some debt owed to the parent and buy shares of the operating company, BellRing Brands LLC.\nAfter the IPO, Post owned 71% of BRBR stock. In August 2021, Post announced thatit plans to distributemost of this stake to shareholders. The move’s expected to include a special cash dividend for Post shareholders.\nAt the same time, it announced the distribution; it also announced Q3 2021 results. Sales in the quarter jumped 68% over last year to $342.6 million, while its operating profit increased by 68% to $51.5 million.\nBellRing’s TTM FCF is$214.3 million. Based on a market cap of $1.3 billion, it has an FCF yield of 16.5%, well into value territory.\nIf I’m a Post shareholder, I’d be hanging on to my BellRing shares for the long haul.\nOn the date of publication, Will Ashworthdid not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to theInvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.\nWill Ashworth has written about investments full-time since 2008.

Elsewhere, economic data on consumer confidence is also due for release.</p>\n<p>The Senate is expected to vote Monday on a procedural motion over the legislation passed by the House of Representatives last week. That bill included a plan to temporarily fund the government through early December, and came alongside a measure to raise the government debt ceiling through December 2022.</p>\n<p>The latter point has been an area of contention for Senate Republicans, who are only narrowly outnumbered by Democratic lawmakers in both chambers and who have threatened to block the bill in its current form.</p>\n<p>Senate Republicans including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have suggested that Democratic lawmakers should use the budget reconciliation process to raise the debt ceiling without Republican support. McConnell has, however, supported a short-term government funding bill that excludes a debt ceiling suspension.</p>\n<p>\"If they [the Democrats] want to tax, borrow and spend historic sums of money without our input, they’ll have to raise the debt limit without our help. This is the reality,” McConnell said on the Senate floor last week.</p>\n<p>Democratic lawmakers, for their part, have called for the move to raise the debt limit be bipartisan to prevent the government from defaulting on its obligations. The Treasury Department has warned that the U.S. could default on its debts as soon as October in absence of congressional action.</p>\n<p>\"The U.S. has always paid its bills on time, but the overwhelming consensus among economists and Treasury officials of both parties is that failing to raise the debt limit would produce widespread economic catastrophe,\" Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last week.</p>\n<p>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also warned of the consequences of a failure to raise the debt ceiling during his post-FOMC meeting press conference last week.</p>\n<p>\"It's just very important that the debt ceiling be raised in a timely fashion so that the United States can pay its bills when and as they come due. That's a critically important thing,\" he said. \"The failure to do that is something that could result in severe reactions, severe damage to the economy and to the financial markets ... no <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> should assume that the Fed or anyone else can protect the markets or the economy in the event of a failure.\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76c6a59b9c059b09d9267c8298e0b837\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">A dead Elm tree is removed on the West Front of the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Sept. 10, 2021. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)ASSOCIATED PRESS</p>\n<p>Amid the standoff, the Office of Management and Budget began warning federal agencies last week to prepare for a potential government shutdown. The reminder served as a standard warning one week out from Congress's deadline to reach an agreement to at least temporarily continue funding the government.</p>\n<p>Though leaders of both political parties have agreed that a continuing resolution to avoid the shutdown at the end of the month is needed, the ongoing tension over raising the debt limit has served as a potential roadblock in this effort.</p>\n<p>\"We still expect Congress to avert a partial government shutdown at the start of October. Republicans won’t vote for the current continuing resolution being touted by the Democratic leadership, which also includes a new debt ceiling suspension,\" wrote Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist for Capital Economics, in a note Friday. \"But we expect a Plan B to emerge next week with the latter stripped out, which Republicans will support.\"</p>\n<p>\"The bigger issue is that there doesn’t appear to be an easy path to raising the debt ceiling by mid-October, which is when estimates suggest the Treasury’s will exhaust the 'extraordinary measures it is currently using to keep the lights on,\" he added.</p>\n<p>Investors have also grown jittery as the debates wore on, with stocks posting their worst day since May last week amid a confluence of concerns that also included debt concerns with China Evergrande.</p>\n<p>Many strategists, however, have suggested market participants need not be overly concerned about the impacts of a potential government shutdown.</p>\n<p>\"Historically, we've seen that government shutdowns tend to be short-lived,\" Jordan Jackson, JPMorgan Asset Management global market strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live on Friday. \"We also know that for those non-essential federal employees, they do get furlough pay as well.\"</p>\n<p>\"If it lasts more than 30 days, it's certainly going to have a bigger impact on the economy. But generally speaking, these shutdowns tend to be short-lived and markets — while they may correct in the short-term — they do sort of continue to grind higher,\" he added. \"I think it's certainly a risk in terms of a short-term mini correction there. But again, with all the liquidity out there, I think any sort of blip in the markets will be short-lived.\"</p>\n<p>Historical equity performance during and immediately following a government shutdown has also tended to point to a muted market impact.</p>\n<p>\"In the 14 government shutdowns since 1980, the S&amp;P 500 generated median returns of -0.1% on the dates of budget authority expiration, 0.1% during the shutdown periods, and 0.3% on the dates of resolution,\" David Kostin, Goldman Sachs chief equity strategist, wrote in a note published on Sept. 21.</p>\n<p>\"One notable exception was the most recent federal shutdown in December 2018, when the S&amp;P 500 fell 2% on the spending authority expiration date,\" he added. \"However, this decline was likely driven primarily by investor concerns about Fed tightening.\"</p>\n<p>Kostin also noted that the typical government shutdown since 1980 has only lasted three days before ultimately being resolved. More recent shutdowns have lasted several times longer, however, with the duration of the four most recent federal shutdowns averaging 18 days, Kostin said.</p>\n<h3>Consumer confidence</h3>\n<p>On the economic data front, one of the most closely watched new pieces of data will be on consumer confidence.</p>\n<p>The Conference Board is set to release its September consumer confidence index Tuesday morning. Economists expect the index to tick up only slightly compared to August, with consumers' views on the coronavirus and rising prices stabilizing near the lowest level since February.</p>\n<p>Specifically, consensus economists are looking for the index to rise to 115.0 in September after dropping to 113.8 in August.

Elsewhere, economic data on consumer confidence is also due for release.\nThe Senate is expected to vote Monday on a procedural motion over the legislation passed by the House of Representatives last week. That bill included a plan to temporarily fund the government through early December, and came alongside a measure to raise the government debt ceiling through December 2022.\nThe latter point has been an area of contention for Senate Republicans, who are only narrowly outnumbered by Democratic lawmakers in both chambers and who have threatened to block the bill in its current form.\nSenate Republicans including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have suggested that Democratic lawmakers should use the budget reconciliation process to raise the debt ceiling without Republican support. McConnell has, however, supported a short-term government funding bill that excludes a debt ceiling suspension.\n\"If they [the Democrats] want to tax, borrow and spend historic sums of money without our input, they’ll have to raise the debt limit without our help. This is the reality,” McConnell said on the Senate floor last week.\nDemocratic lawmakers, for their part, have called for the move to raise the debt limit be bipartisan to prevent the government from defaulting on its obligations. The Treasury Department has warned that the U.S. could default on its debts as soon as October in absence of congressional action.\n\"The U.S. has always paid its bills on time, but the overwhelming consensus among economists and Treasury officials of both parties is that failing to raise the debt limit would produce widespread economic catastrophe,\" Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal last week.\nFederal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also warned of the consequences of a failure to raise the debt ceiling during his post-FOMC meeting press conference last week.\n\"It's just very important that the debt ceiling be raised in a timely fashion so that the United States can pay its bills when and as they come due. That's a critically important thing,\" he said. \"The failure to do that is something that could result in severe reactions, severe damage to the economy and to the financial markets ... no one should assume that the Fed or anyone else can protect the markets or the economy in the event of a failure.\"\nA dead Elm tree is removed on the West Front of the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Sept. 10, 2021. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)ASSOCIATED PRESS\nAmid the standoff, the Office of Management and Budget began warning federal agencies last week to prepare for a potential government shutdown. The reminder served as a standard warning one week out from Congress's deadline to reach an agreement to at least temporarily continue funding the government.\nThough leaders of both political parties have agreed that a continuing resolution to avoid the shutdown at the end of the month is needed, the ongoing tension over raising the debt limit has served as a potential roadblock in this effort.\n\"We still expect Congress to avert a partial government shutdown at the start of October. Republicans won’t vote for the current continuing resolution being touted by the Democratic leadership, which also includes a new debt ceiling suspension,\" wrote Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist for Capital Economics, in a note Friday. \"But we expect a Plan B to emerge next week with the latter stripped out, which Republicans will support.\"\n\"The bigger issue is that there doesn’t appear to be an easy path to raising the debt ceiling by mid-October, which is when estimates suggest the Treasury’s will exhaust the 'extraordinary measures it is currently using to keep the lights on,\" he added.\nInvestors have also grown jittery as the debates wore on, with stocks posting their worst day since May last week amid a confluence of concerns that also included debt concerns with China Evergrande.\nMany strategists, however, have suggested market participants need not be overly concerned about the impacts of a potential government shutdown.\n\"Historically, we've seen that government shutdowns tend to be short-lived,\" Jordan Jackson, JPMorgan Asset Management global market strategist, told Yahoo Finance Live on Friday. \"We also know that for those non-essential federal employees, they do get furlough pay as well.\"\n\"If it lasts more than 30 days, it's certainly going to have a bigger impact on the economy. But generally speaking, these shutdowns tend to be short-lived and markets — while they may correct in the short-term — they do sort of continue to grind higher,\" he added. \"I think it's certainly a risk in terms of a short-term mini correction there. But again, with all the liquidity out there, I think any sort of blip in the markets will be short-lived.\"\nHistorical equity performance during and immediately following a government shutdown has also tended to point to a muted market impact.\n\"In the 14 government shutdowns since 1980, the S&P 500 generated median returns of -0.1% on the dates of budget authority expiration, 0.1% during the shutdown periods, and 0.3% on the dates of resolution,\" David Kostin, Goldman Sachs chief equity strategist, wrote in a note published on Sept. 21.\n\"One notable exception was the most recent federal shutdown in December 2018, when the S&P 500 fell 2% on the spending authority expiration date,\" he added. \"However, this decline was likely driven primarily by investor concerns about Fed tightening.\"\nKostin also noted that the typical government shutdown since 1980 has only lasted three days before ultimately being resolved. More recent shutdowns have lasted several times longer, however, with the duration of the four most recent federal shutdowns averaging 18 days, Kostin said.\nConsumer confidence\nOn the economic data front, one of the most closely watched new pieces of data will be on consumer confidence.\nThe Conference Board is set to release its September consumer confidence index Tuesday morning. Economists expect the index to tick up only slightly compared to August, with consumers' views on the coronavirus and rising prices stabilizing near the lowest level since February.\nSpecifically, consensus economists are looking for the index to rise to 115.0 in September after dropping to 113.8 in August. During the last monthly report, consumers' assessments of current business and labor market conditions both eased, and expectations for the next six months out also deteriorated.\n\"Consumer confidence fell to a six-month low in August, due to concerns around the Delta variant and inflation,\" wrote Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer in a note on Friday. \"We think these concerns largely remained in September.\"\nAt the time, Lynn Franco, senior director of economic indicators at the Conference Board, said it was still \"too soon to conclude\" whether decline in consumer confidence would \"result in consumers significantly curtailing their spending in the months ahead.\"\nThe latest spending data has also been equivocal. The Commerce Department's latest report showed retail sales rose 0.7% in August after declining in July. However, the categories posting the biggest declines were areas like e-commerce shops and grocery stores, suggesting consumer behavior was shifting back toward stay-in-place trends and away from in-person events like restaurant dining amid the latest wave of the coronavirus.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Durable goods orders, August preliminary (0.6% expected, -0.1% in July); Durable goods excluding transportation, August preliminary (0.5% expected, 0.8% in July); Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, August preliminary (0.3% expected, 0.1% in July); Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, August preliminary (0.9% in July); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, September (11.0 expected, 9.0 in July)\nTuesday: Advance goods trade balance, August (-$87.0 billion expected, -$86.4 billion in July); Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, August preliminary (0.6% in July); Retail inventories, month-over-month, August (0.4% in July); FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, July (1.5% expected, 1.6% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Index, month-over-month, July (1.62% expected, 1.77% in June); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Index, month-over-month, July (20.1% expected, 19.08% in June); Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, September (114.2 expected, 113.8 in August); Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index, September (9 in August)\nWednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended September 24 (4.9% during prior month); Pending home sales, month-over-month, August (1.0% expected, -1.8% in July)\nThursday: Initial jobless claims, week ended September 25 (320,000 expected, 351,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended September 18 (2.845 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, second-quarter third estimate (6.7% expected, 6.6% in prior estimate); Personal consumption, second-quarter third estimate (11.9% in prior estimate); Core personal consumption expenditures, second quarter third estimate (6.1% in prior estimate); MNI Chicago PMI, September (65.0 expected, 66.8 in August)\nFriday: Personal income, August (0.2% expected, 1.1% in July); Personal spending, August (0.7% expected, 0.3% in July); Personal consumption expenditures core deflator, month-over-over, August (0.2% expected, 0.3% in July); Personal consumption expenditures core deflator, year-over-year, August (3.6% expected, 3.6% in July); Markit manufacturing PMI, September final (60.5 in prior estimate); Construction spending, month-over-month, August (0.3% expected, 0.3% in July); University of Michigan sentiment, September final (71.0 expected, 71.0 in prior print); ISM Manufacturing, September (59.5 expected, 59.9 in August)\n\nEarnings calendar\n\nMonday: Aurora Cannabis (ACB) after market close\nTuesday: Micron Technology (MU) after market close.\nWednesday: No notable reports scheduled for release\nThursday: CarMax (KMX), Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) before market open; Jefferies (JEF) after market close\nFriday: No notable reports scheduled for releas","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":222,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868084730,"gmtCreate":1632552739220,"gmtModify":1632658173765,"author":{"id":"3577956622347630","authorId":"3577956622347630","name":"Darrencwj","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like pls&nbsp;","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868084730","repostId":"1149730497","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149730497","pubTimestamp":1632538837,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1149730497?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 11:00","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"7 Best Stocks To Buy for Investors Building a ‘Brands’ Portfolio","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149730497","media":"investorplace","summary":"'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products ","content":"<p>'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products and services</p>\n<p>I saw a recent article from<i>Quartz at Work</i>about Reebok, other brand reboots, and what<b>Authentic Brands</b>plans to doto revitalize the once-dominant sneaker company. While the rise and fall of Reebok is a fascinating story, the article got me thinking about stocks to buy for the “Brands” portfolio.</p>\n<p>After all, Authentic Brands itself hasfiled to go public. My fellow<i>InvestorPlace</i>contributor Dana Blankenhorn calls it the most fascinating IPO of the year.</p>\n<p>“Authentic’s S-1has more pictures than<b>Pinterest</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PINS</u></b>), but tells little about the business. The numbers are for 2020, before a host of recent deals. It only identifies direct licensing revenue, $488 million of it in that year. But $211 million of that money, 43%, wound up as net income. This is said to justify a $10 billion enterprise valuation,” Dana wrote on Sep. 20.</p>\n<p>I agree with my colleague. It’s definitely up there. Heck, by the time I’ve written this, the company’s stock might be eligible for my newest portfolio.</p>\n<p>But, for now,<i>Finviz.com</i>tells me there are34 public companieswith the word “Brands” as part of their corporate name. So, I’ll recommend the seven best stocks to buy from the bunch.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Restaurant Brands International</b>(NYSE:<b><u>QSR)</u></b></li>\n <li><b>Constellation Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>STZ)</u></b></li>\n <li><b>Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security</b>(NYSE:<b><u>FBHS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Newell Brands</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NWL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Acuity Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AYI</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Cornerstone Building Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CNR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BellRing Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BRBR</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Restaurant Brands International (QSR)</p>\n<p>I begrudgingly put Restaurant Brands International, the owner of Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeye’s, on my list of stocks to buy.</p>\n<p>Burger King acquired Tim Hortons in 2014 to form RBI. Ever since, I’ve had a hard time accepting the merger, given Burger King’s CEO made each Tim Horton’s head office employee justify their jobs in15-minute interviews.</p>\n<p>To date, I’d say I was right to be concerned about the poor treatment of employees. Over the past five years through Sept. 22, QSR stock has a total return of 9.0%, less than the Canadian market on the whole and nearly half the return of the entire U.S. market.</p>\n<p>In August, Tim Hortons China, a joint-venture between RBI and Hong Kong private equity firm<b>Cartesian Capital</b>, agreed to merge with<b>Silver Crest Acquisition Corp.</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SLCR</u></b>) in a transaction that valued the Chinese segment of Tim Hortons at$1.7 billion.</p>\n<p>As long as<b>3G Capital</b>continues to own almost 30% of RBI stock, I’ll remain cautious in my praise.</p>\n<p>However, with$1.35 billionin trailing 12-month (TTM) free cash flow (FCF) and a 7.0% FCF yield, now could be an opportune time to pick up some shares.</p>\n<p>Constellation Brands (STZ)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51af367100d1d75a5ca277a1a9675c31\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ShinoStock / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>A telltale sign Constellation Brands has become a big deal in corporate America is therecent announcementthat it would move 400 of its employees from its offices in Canandaigua, New York, to downtown Rochester.</p>\n<p>“The company investment is estimated at $50 million, while Landers [Peter Landers, majority investor in group that owns the downtown property] says the owners/developers’ will spend close to $35 million on historic restoration, stripping paint from the barrel ceilings and brick walls, and building a 120-space parking structure,” The<i>Democrat &amp; Chronicle</i>reported.</p>\n<p>While Constellation is known for Corona and Modelo beer, Svedka vodka, and Woodbridge wine, amongst others, it isthe company’s investmentin<b>Canopy Growth</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CGC</u></b>) that gets most of the attention.</p>\n<p>That’s because it’s taking forever to see the benefits of its multi-billion-dollar investment in the Canadian cannabis company. Since it acquired9.9% in October 2017, STZ stock has gone sideways over nearly 48 months.</p>\n<p>As a glass-half-full kind of person, I see the potential upside of its Canopy investment as a big reason to buy at current prices.</p>\n<p>Constellation has a TTM FCF of$2.0 billion, good for an FCF yield of 4.9%. When you consider the value yet to be extracted by its investment, STZ’s valuation is more than reasonable.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security (FBHS)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c43d12689a9a34fc77425af4b7ac66d2\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"165\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security wasspun offfrom<b>Fortune Brands Inc</b>, part of the then-holding company’s plan to deliver additional value for its shareholders almost a decade ago.</p>\n<p>At the same time, it sold its Acushnet business for $1.225 billion and renamed Fortune Brands as<b>Beam Inc.</b>, the holding company’s spirits business.

Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase.

While the rise and fall of Reebok is a fascinating story, the article got me thinking about stocks to buy for the “Brands” portfolio.\nAfter all, Authentic Brands itself hasfiled to go public. My fellowInvestorPlacecontributor Dana Blankenhorn calls it the most fascinating IPO of the year.\n“Authentic’s S-1has more pictures thanPinterest(NYSE:PINS), but tells little about the business. The numbers are for 2020, before a host of recent deals. It only identifies direct licensing revenue, $488 million of it in that year. But $211 million of that money, 43%, wound up as net income. This is said to justify a $10 billion enterprise valuation,” Dana wrote on Sep. 20.\nI agree with my colleague. It’s definitely up there. Heck, by the time I’ve written this, the company’s stock might be eligible for my newest portfolio.\nBut, for now,Finviz.comtells me there are34 public companieswith the word “Brands” as part of their corporate name. So, I’ll recommend the seven best stocks to buy from the bunch.\n\nRestaurant Brands International(NYSE:QSR)\nConstellation Brands(NYSE:STZ)\nFortune Brands Home & Security(NYSE:FBHS)\nNewell Brands(NASDAQ:NWL)\nAcuity Brands(NYSE:AYI)\nCornerstone Building Brands(NYSE:CNR)\nBellRing Brands(NYSE:BRBR)\n\nStocks to Buy: Restaurant Brands International (QSR)\nI begrudgingly put Restaurant Brands International, the owner of Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeye’s, on my list of stocks to buy.\nBurger King acquired Tim Hortons in 2014 to form RBI. Ever since, I’ve had a hard time accepting the merger, given Burger King’s CEO made each Tim Horton’s head office employee justify their jobs in15-minute interviews.\nTo date, I’d say I was right to be concerned about the poor treatment of employees. Over the past five years through Sept. 22, QSR stock has a total return of 9.0%, less than the Canadian market on the whole and nearly half the return of the entire U.S. market.\nIn August, Tim Hortons China, a joint-venture between RBI and Hong Kong private equity firmCartesian Capital, agreed to merge withSilver Crest Acquisition Corp.(NASDAQ:SLCR) in a transaction that valued the Chinese segment of Tim Hortons at$1.7 billion.\nAs long as3G Capitalcontinues to own almost 30% of RBI stock, I’ll remain cautious in my praise.\nHowever, with$1.35 billionin trailing 12-month (TTM) free cash flow (FCF) and a 7.0% FCF yield, now could be an opportune time to pick up some shares.\nConstellation Brands (STZ)Source: ShinoStock / Shutterstock.com\nA telltale sign Constellation Brands has become a big deal in corporate America is therecent announcementthat it would move 400 of its employees from its offices in Canandaigua, New York, to downtown Rochester.\n“The company investment is estimated at $50 million, while Landers [Peter Landers, majority investor in group that owns the downtown property] says the owners/developers’ will spend close to $35 million on historic restoration, stripping paint from the barrel ceilings and brick walls, and building a 120-space parking structure,” TheDemocrat & Chroniclereported.\nWhile Constellation is known for Corona and Modelo beer, Svedka vodka, and Woodbridge wine, amongst others, it isthe company’s investmentinCanopy Growth(NASDAQ:CGC) that gets most of the attention.\nThat’s because it’s taking forever to see the benefits of its multi-billion-dollar investment in the Canadian cannabis company. Since it acquired9.9% in October 2017, STZ stock has gone sideways over nearly 48 months.\nAs a glass-half-full kind of person, I see the potential upside of its Canopy investment as a big reason to buy at current prices.\nConstellation has a TTM FCF of$2.0 billion, good for an FCF yield of 4.9%. When you consider the value yet to be extracted by its investment, STZ’s valuation is more than reasonable.\nStocks to Buy: Fortune Brands Home & Security (FBHS)Source: Shutterstock\nFortune Brands Home & Security wasspun offfromFortune Brands Inc, part of the then-holding company’s plan to deliver additional value for its shareholders almost a decade ago.\nAt the same time, it sold its Acushnet business for $1.225 billion and renamed Fortune Brands asBeam Inc., the holding company’s spirits business. Beam was subsequently sold toSuntory Holdingsin 2014 for $16 billion, including the assumption of debt.\nFortune shareholders got one share of FBHS for each share in the parent. FBHS stock has generated a total return of 22.4% over the past decade, 548 basis points higher than the entire U.S. market.\nThe company hasthree operating segments: Plumbing, Outdoors & Security, and Cabinets. Its brands include Moen faucets, Larson doors, Master Lock locks, MasterBrand cabinets, and many more.\nTogether, they have TTM sales of $7.02 billion, $1.03 billion in operating income, $650 million in FCF, and an FCF yield of 5.0%.\nIt’s a great business to own for the long haul.\nNewell Brands (NWL)Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com\nNewell CEO Ravi Saligram was recently named one ofAtlanta’s best CEOsby theAtlanta Business Chronicle.Saligram joined Newell as CEO inOctober 2019. Before that, he was CEO ofRitchie Bros. Auctioneers(NYSE:RBA) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.\nHe’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for theS&P 500 indexover the same period.\nOver the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.\n“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager.

As the world returns to normalcy, the company’s growth has naturally slowed. Investors have cooled on the story. ZM stock is down about 20% year-to-date (YTD). Plus, adding salt to the wound, the company ishaving trouble closing its recentlyproposed acquisitionof<b>Five9</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>FIVN</u></b>).</p>\n<p>I love a stock with some good controversy. Zoom fits that bill. The shares are volatile, reflecting investor uncertainty around whether it has enough gas in the tank for a second growth wave.But add a celebrity investor to the mix and things get<i>even more intriguing</i>. Enter Cathie Wood, who’s been scooping up Zoom shares on the dip.</p>\n<p>Is it over for ZM stock? Or is it just the beginning? Here’s a place to start.</p>\n<p><b>ZM Stock: What a Difference a Year Makes</b></p>\n<p>We all know how well Zoom did last year. But investors have very short memories. So, when it comes to analyzing ZM stock, let’s focus our conversation on the present (and future potential).</p>\n<p>Business is still good at Zoom, but it’s slowing relative to last year. Fiscal second-quarter earnings were a mixed bag. The good news is the company beat expectations. The bad news? Year-over-year (YOY) comparisons are down. For example, revenueincreased 54%YOY — an impressive number — butdown from 191%in Q1. Now for Q3, growth is expected to taper further to 31%. No doubt, these are still impressive growth numbers. But they’re not a raise inguidance for the second half of the fiscal year.</p>\n<p>Wall Street doesn’t like slowing growth. That’s why negative comparisons almost always translate into declines in stock prices.</p>\n<p>There’s another thing Wall Street doesn’t like: competition. Zoom enjoyed wild success last year. But going forward, the company isn’t the only video-conference software maker in town. There are plenty of other options:<b>Microsoft</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) has Skype and Teams,<b>Cisco</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CSCO</u></b>) offers Webex,<b>Adobe</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ADBE</u></b>) has Connect and<b>LogMeIn</b>has GoToMeeting, among others. This list of giant competitors also includes<b>Facebook</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>FB</u></b>), which recently introduced a feature called Messenger Rooms.</p>\n<p>For these much larger tech companies, online meetings are just one of many software offerings. This leaves ZM stock vulnerable if one of these companies finds a competitive advantage.</p>\n<p><b>Looking for Growth</b></p>\n<p>With growth slowing and the company facing an increasingly crowded enterprise communications market,Zoom is naturally looking for its next leg of growth. In July, the company announced its&nbsp;intent to acquirecloud contact-center software providerFive9for $14.7 billion in stock. The deal terms were that Zoom would pay $200.28 for each share of Five9.</p>\n<p>However, the market has since soured on the deal, for two reasons. First: valuation. Sure, the deal terms sounded good to shareholders when it was initially announced (ZM stock was trading for over $350 at the time). But on the heels of a mixed quarter, the stock started sliding — and quickly. Investors then had more reason to question the lofty proposed purchase price.</p>\n<p>Last week, things came to a head. With Zoom shares down almost 20% from the deal announcement, proxy-analysis firm Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) sounded the alarm bells. The firmadvised Five9 shareholders toreject the deal.

Joanna’s pick for this week isZoom(NASDAQ:ZM) as the top stock to trade this week.\nWe all know video-calling software makerZoom (NASDAQ:ZM). The pandemic high-flier capitalized on a stay-at-home workforce, growing itsusage from 10 million daily meeting participants one year ago to over 200 million.ZM stock enjoyed a meteoric 400% rise in 2020.\nSource: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com\nHowever, Zoom knows firsthand — like a lot of last year’s tech gainers — that 2021 has been much less forgiving. As the world returns to normalcy, the company’s growth has naturally slowed. Investors have cooled on the story. ZM stock is down about 20% year-to-date (YTD). Plus, adding salt to the wound, the company ishaving trouble closing its recentlyproposed acquisitionofFive9(NASDAQ:FIVN).\nI love a stock with some good controversy. Zoom fits that bill. The shares are volatile, reflecting investor uncertainty around whether it has enough gas in the tank for a second growth wave.But add a celebrity investor to the mix and things geteven more intriguing. Enter Cathie Wood, who’s been scooping up Zoom shares on the dip.\nIs it over for ZM stock? Or is it just the beginning? Here’s a place to start.\nZM Stock: What a Difference a Year Makes\nWe all know how well Zoom did last year. But investors have very short memories. So, when it comes to analyzing ZM stock, let’s focus our conversation on the present (and future potential).\nBusiness is still good at Zoom, but it’s slowing relative to last year. Fiscal second-quarter earnings were a mixed bag. The good news is the company beat expectations. The bad news? Year-over-year (YOY) comparisons are down. For example, revenueincreased 54%YOY — an impressive number — butdown from 191%in Q1. Now for Q3, growth is expected to taper further to 31%. No doubt, these are still impressive growth numbers. But they’re not a raise inguidance for the second half of the fiscal year.\nWall Street doesn’t like slowing growth. That’s why negative comparisons almost always translate into declines in stock prices.\nThere’s another thing Wall Street doesn’t like: competition. Zoom enjoyed wild success last year. But going forward, the company isn’t the only video-conference software maker in town. There are plenty of other options:Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) has Skype and Teams,Cisco(NASDAQ:CSCO) offers Webex,Adobe(NASDAQ:ADBE) has Connect andLogMeInhas GoToMeeting, among others. This list of giant competitors also includesFacebook(NASDAQ:FB), which recently introduced a feature called Messenger Rooms.\nFor these much larger tech companies, online meetings are just one of many software offerings. This leaves ZM stock vulnerable if one of these companies finds a competitive advantage.\nLooking for Growth\nWith growth slowing and the company facing an increasingly crowded enterprise communications market,Zoom is naturally looking for its next leg of growth. In July, the company announced its intent to acquirecloud contact-center software providerFive9for $14.7 billion in stock. The deal terms were that Zoom would pay $200.28 for each share of Five9.\nHowever, the market has since soured on the deal, for two reasons. First: valuation. Sure, the deal terms sounded good to shareholders when it was initially announced (ZM stock was trading for over $350 at the time). But on the heels of a mixed quarter, the stock started sliding — and quickly. Investors then had more reason to question the lofty proposed purchase price.\nLast week, things came to a head. With Zoom shares down almost 20% from the deal announcement, proxy-analysis firm Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) sounded the alarm bells. The firmadvised Five9 shareholders toreject the deal. ISS said that Five9 investors would be exposed to a more-volatile stock with a less-than-rosy outlook as economies reopen following the pandemic.\nSecondly, though, there’s the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Both agencies are looking into whether Zoom’s ties to China could make the deal a national-security risk. Still, Zoomsaid it expects to receive regulatory approvals by the first half of 2022. That could leave it on track to close the deal as originally planned.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":161,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868060012,"gmtCreate":1632552837736,"gmtModify":1632658143755,"author":{"id":"3577956622347630","authorId":"3577956622347630","name":"Darrencwj","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like pls&nbsp;","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868060012","repostId":"2170611559","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2170611559","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":"1086160438","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a113a995fbbc262262d15a5ce37e7bc5"},"pubTimestamp":1632532041,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2170611559?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 09:07","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Tesla Announces Updates To 2021 Annual Meeting Of Stockholders","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2170611559","media":"Reuters","summary":"Tesla Inc:Tesla Announces Updates To 2021 Annual Meeting Of Stockholders.Tesla Inc - 2021 Annual Mee","content":"<p>Tesla Inc:Tesla Announces Updates To 2021 Annual Meeting Of Stockholders.Tesla Inc - 2021 Annual Meeting Will Be Presented From Tesla'S Gigafactory In Austin, Texas On Thursday, October 7, 2021, In A Virtual-Only Format.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Healthcare giant&nbsp;<b>Johnson &amp; Johnson&nbsp;</b>records more revenue in just a three-month period.</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is a long-term play. It could take more than 10 years for this company to really take off and be anywhere near the top players in the healthcare industry. But it has been generating good numbers already. During the trailing 12 months, the company has reported earnings of $1.6 billion on sales of $5.2 billion for an impressive profit margin of more than 31%. That's far better than the 20% of revenue that Johnson &amp; Johnson has been banking as profit over the past year.</p>\n<p>Key to Intuitive Surgical's growth are its da Vinci systems, which help surgeons perform complex and delicate procedures, utilizing robotics. The pandemic has negatively impacted its business as hospitals have pushed off procedures. Yet for the quarter ended June 30, the company shipped 328 of its surgical systems -- an 84% increase from a year ago. And the number of da Vinci procedures was also up 68% from the prior-year period.

Amazon</h2>\n<p>Online retail giant Amazon is never a cheap stock to own. Its P/E of 58 is a bit lower than it has been in previous years, but that's largely to do with the surge in consumer purchases during the pandemic -- which have given its profits a big boost. In the past, it wouldn't be uncommon for the stock to be trading at more than 100 times its earnings.</p>\n<p>In 2020, the company's net sales of $386 billion were more than double the $178 billion it reported just three years earlier. Doubling revenue for a company of Amazon's size is no small feat. What's even more impressive is that during that time, its bottom line skyrocketed from just $3 billion to more than $21 billion.</p>\n<p>And while Amazon has been diversifying its business to include its subscription-related products, Amazon Web Services, and the grocery business (through Whole Foods), the company's online stores and third-party seller services still make up more than 70% of its top line.</p>\n<p>The company's wide array of expertise and resources gives Amazon many ways it can enter new markets and segments. One of its most recent areas of interest has been healthcare. Last year, it launched Amazon Pharmacy, a delivery service to help customers stay on top of their prescriptions.

Google’s lawyers said the&nbsp;European Commission&nbsp;blundered by demanding changes to allegedly anti-competitive contracts with suppliers of phones running its Android operating system -- the engine room for the vast majority of mobile devices in the region.</p>\n<p>“The commission shut its eyes to the real competitive dynamic in this industry -- that between Apple Inc. and Android,” Meredith Pickford, a lawyer for Google, told a five-judge panel on Monday. Regulators “mistakenly found Google to be dominant” for mobile phone software licensed to phone manufacturers. Apple doesn’t allow other phones use its iOS system.</p>\n<p>The Android case is one of a trio of&nbsp;decisions&nbsp;that have been the centerpiece of EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager’s bid to rein in the growing dominance of Silicon Valley. She’s fined the&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;unit more than&nbsp;8.2 billion euros($9.6 billion) in total and is still&nbsp;probing&nbsp;the company’s suspected stranglehold over digital advertising.</p>\n<p>The legal challenge “is going to be a big precedent for the U.S.” where “exactly the same issues” are under investigation, said Tommaso Valletti, an economics professor at&nbsp;Imperial College&nbsp;in London who advised regulators on the case during his time as the EU’s antitrust economist. Despite hitting the headlines, he said that investigations into Silicon Valley firms are relatively unusual and “that if the commission loses in this case, they may become even more rare.”</p>\n<p>At issue this week are the EU’s findings against contracts that require Android phone makers to take Google’s search and browser apps and other Google services when they want to license the Play app store.</p>\n<p>The EU deemed the contracts to be an illegal restraint, but Google says this decision undermines a business model that allowed it to provide the Android software for free while it generated ad revenue. Mountain View, California-based Google, which had&nbsp;revenues&nbsp;of $182.5 billion last year, has built a massive business of banner and videos ads, thanks largely to its central role on Android devices.</p>\n<p>Pickford said Google needed the ability to tie its apps to mobile phone software to give it “the right incentives” to invest billions of euros in the Android ecosystem which created “a reliable non-fragmented platform, that provided a real competitive alternative” to Apple. That benefited app developers and consumers, he said.</p>\n<p>EU lawyer Nicholas Khan countered that the restrictive contracts allowed Google to build a near-monopoly for search, which helped global revenues more than triple from $50 billion in 2012.</p>\n<p>The hearing is likely to look back a decade into how Google’s contracts might have hampered potential rivals emerging. The commission says these prevented handset makers from selling phones using other versions of Android, such as&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.’s Fire OS Android version. Google says the rules were necessary to make sure Android apps and devices could work smoothly together.</p>\n<p>The court is less likely to focus on what Google has done since 2018 when it made moves to comply with the EU order to open up competition. It&nbsp;started charginga licensing fee to manufacturers to use Android. It also&nbsp;moved slowly&nbsp;to address rivals’ complaints that it didn’t offer a broad choice of rival apps to be set as a default on new phones.</p>\n<p><b>Market Share</b></p>\n<p>Neither step has undermined Android which runs on&nbsp;nearly 70%&nbsp;of European mobile phones or mobile search where Google has held a steady market share of&nbsp;just under 97%.</p>\n<p>The Android case comes as competition authorities across Europe are also keeping up the pressure withprobesinto its&nbsp;ads&nbsp;and&nbsp;news&nbsp;operations. Google and rivals such as&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;are coming under pressure from planned&nbsp;new laws&nbsp;that could curb tech firms’ behavior.</p>\n<p>A ruling may take as long as a year to emerge.

Google’s lawyers said the European Commission blundered by demanding changes to allegedly anti-competitive contracts with suppliers of phones running its Android operating system -- the engine room for the vast majority of mobile devices in the region.\n“The commission shut its eyes to the real competitive dynamic in this industry -- that between Apple Inc. and Android,” Meredith Pickford, a lawyer for Google, told a five-judge panel on Monday. Regulators “mistakenly found Google to be dominant” for mobile phone software licensed to phone manufacturers. Apple doesn’t allow other phones use its iOS system.\nThe Android case is one of a trio of decisions that have been the centerpiece of EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager’s bid to rein in the growing dominance of Silicon Valley. She’s fined the Alphabet Inc. unit more than 8.2 billion euros($9.6 billion) in total and is still probing the company’s suspected stranglehold over digital advertising.\nThe legal challenge “is going to be a big precedent for the U.S.” where “exactly the same issues” are under investigation, said Tommaso Valletti, an economics professor at Imperial College in London who advised regulators on the case during his time as the EU’s antitrust economist. Despite hitting the headlines, he said that investigations into Silicon Valley firms are relatively unusual and “that if the commission loses in this case, they may become even more rare.”\nAt issue this week are the EU’s findings against contracts that require Android phone makers to take Google’s search and browser apps and other Google services when they want to license the Play app store.\nThe EU deemed the contracts to be an illegal restraint, but Google says this decision undermines a business model that allowed it to provide the Android software for free while it generated ad revenue. Mountain View, California-based Google, which had revenues of $182.5 billion last year, has built a massive business of banner and videos ads, thanks largely to its central role on Android devices.\nPickford said Google needed the ability to tie its apps to mobile phone software to give it “the right incentives” to invest billions of euros in the Android ecosystem which created “a reliable non-fragmented platform, that provided a real competitive alternative” to Apple. That benefited app developers and consumers, he said.\nEU lawyer Nicholas Khan countered that the restrictive contracts allowed Google to build a near-monopoly for search, which helped global revenues more than triple from $50 billion in 2012.\nThe hearing is likely to look back a decade into how Google’s contracts might have hampered potential rivals emerging. The commission says these prevented handset makers from selling phones using other versions of Android, such as Amazon.com Inc.’s Fire OS Android version. Google says the rules were necessary to make sure Android apps and devices could work smoothly together.\nThe court is less likely to focus on what Google has done since 2018 when it made moves to comply with the EU order to open up competition. It started charginga licensing fee to manufacturers to use Android. It also moved slowly to address rivals’ complaints that it didn’t offer a broad choice of rival apps to be set as a default on new phones.\nMarket Share\nNeither step has undermined Android which runs on nearly 70% of European mobile phones or mobile search where Google has held a steady market share of just under 97%.\nThe Android case comes as competition authorities across Europe are also keeping up the pressure withprobesinto its ads and news operations. Google and rivals such as Apple are coming under pressure from planned new laws that could curb tech firms’ behavior.\nA ruling may take as long as a year to emerge. While a court victory in this, or one of the other two court challenges Google is taking against the EU, could bolster the company, it’s unlikely to halt the regulatory onslaught. At most it may crimp some of the specific rules that legislators are discussing, said Georgios Petropoulos, a research fellow at Brussels-based think tank Bruegel.\nBut beating the powerful EU’s antitrust authority will dent its ability to curb tech firms and constrain how far it goes to require changes to business behavior. A first test comes on Nov. 10 when the court delivers its ruling on an earlier appeal against the EU’s fine over shopping search.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":594,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":865424375,"gmtCreate":1633012295503,"gmtModify":1633012502262,"author":{"id":"3577956622347630","authorId":"3577956622347630","name":"Darrencwj","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/865424375","repostId":"2171530969","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2171530969","pubTimestamp":1633011877,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2171530969?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-30 22:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Square a Buy?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2171530969","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The fintech company has positioned itself nicely for growth.","content":"<p>The last five years have been quite rewarding for tech sector investors.
