Whether a release from a marketing lab into the wild, or whether a spontaneous transfer of attention from one kind of investor to another, time tends to shroud any kind of successful investigation. And so it is with Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR).</p>\n<p>This seemly boring enterprise software-and-services company, which in its business model is much like any other of the past thirty years, has become a social media sensation in its own right.</p>\n<p>Let's use the watcher count on StockTwits as a proxy measure of popularity. PLTR has 180k at the time of writing, which dwarfs other industry-leading headline names in the software business. 180k is a lot of people and/or bot-people. Let's compare it to other pillars of the software industry. How about Atlassian(NASDAQ:TEAM), champion of the no-sales-team high growth business model, leader in the development tools and project management sector? 10k watchers. OK, you might say, nobody has heard of TEAM unless you're some kind of devops nerd. Well, how about industry heavyweight, the original cloud name, Salesforce(NYSE:CRM)? 48k watchers. Less than a third of PLTR's watchers! In fact in terms of watcher count, PLTR more closely tracks meme stocks GME (224k) and AMC (346k). Less a software stock and more a motif for the YOLO generation.</p>\n<p><b>Palantir And Ark Invest</b></p>\n<p>This kind of attention is why, when similarly Twitterati'd fund manager Ark Invest posts its selected daily trades, you see FinTwit over-reaction as regards to any moves in Palantir stock. \"Cathie [Ark Invest CEO, Cathie Wood] is selling!!!\" \"Cathie is loading up!!!\" etc. As longtime enterprise software investors this is mighty odd to us. There are few things more boring than enterprise software, and we speak as folks whose world is enterprise software.</p>\n<p>That said, Ark is one of the more important funds in the tech market right now, and PLTR is certainly a meaningful holding for them. Here's the holdings in PLTR across the various Ark ETFs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f9b863dac1f300e734950bd68d96c447\" tg-width=\"1902\" tg-height=\"785\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: Arktrack.com</i></p>\n<p>The thing is, whilst owning 35m shares of PLTR makes PLTR meaningful to Ark, Ark isn't that meaningful to PLTR, whose shares outstanding count stands at a little under 2bn (source - Ycharts.com). So when analyzing Palantir over the long term we think it best to use the traditional tools of fundamental and technical analysis, and ignore any FinTwit hoopla.</p>\n<p><b>Palantir Stock Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Let's take a look at Palantir's financial performance. The stock remains relatively new to market and so we have limited quarterlyhistoricals. As time goes by the quarterly seasonality of the business will become clearer. Here's what we have so far.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c00248ff10f30226d6859113a2ecdae\" tg-width=\"762\" tg-height=\"736\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>Source:Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis</i></p>\n<p>Palantir is a high growth business, with revenue moving up at +49% year-on-year as of the most recent earnings (Q2, ending 30 June 2021). Gross margins are in line with expectations for a services-heavy business model; should they dip below 70% that ought to be a concern because it would likely mean the revenue is being driven by more bespoke installations and less productized installations, always a risk with this kind of huge-customer software company. Accounting profitability in the shape of EBITDA is solid at 22% TTM margins. Those profit margins are a little misleading however - a huge working capital outflow (the company is paying suppliers before it gets paid) means that whilst cashflow is positive in the last twelve months, unlevered pretax FCF stands at around one-sixth of EBITDA over the same period. Over time that has to correct upwards or one has to conclude that the EBITDA isn't real EBITDA. As the company grows, we would expect change in working capital to be somewhat negative each quarter - back to serving huge customers - but not to the degree that is currently the case. Something to keep an eye on if you own the stock or are thinking of doing so.</p>\n<p>Fundamental valuation multiples are as follows, as of the most recent close:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/711ec599dde164e06be39874dfd9951f\" tg-width=\"247\" tg-height=\"304\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis</i></p>\n<p>In the current environment paying 39x TTM revenue for 49% TTM revenue growth isn't terrible - that's cheaper than Cloudflare(NYSE:NET)for instance, which is growing at a similar rate and is cashflow negative - but this remains an elevated multiple on any standards and one which can come down fast if growth tails off. So come the Q3 numbers, the single most important number to look at is quarterly revenue. If the company can deliver a continued growth rate of say 40%-45% or better, it remains on the right track. A material deceleration toward 30%-35% is likely to hurt the stock in our view. Earnings, cashflow, all these other things do matter, but the quarterly revenue number matters the most for us - because over the long term if the company can grow at this rate, and simply manage its costs and cash collection competently, nothing will go too far awry.</p>\n<p>Let's now look at the stock price in and of itself, ignoring fundamentals.</p>\n<p><b>PLTR Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Starting with a simple chart - here's how the stock has performed since it first burst forth onto the public market.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f52443a846a6070b17d699ab76c1f20e\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"532\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: YCharts.com</i></p>\n<p>A remarkable performance so far vs. the major indices (in the form of their proxy ETFs, SPY and QQQ). Volatile, but remarkable.</p>\n<p>In considering where the stock might head next, we think the Elliott Wave method can be of use. Given that PLTR is so volatile and that it is apparently an emotional stock - those watchers again - behavioral tools like wave analysis and Fibonacci retracement levels are particularly well suited we think.</p>\n<p>Below we update a chart weposted a while back in our last article on Palantir.</p>\n<p>If you read that August 13, 2021 note, you'll see that we called the bottom of the June-July correction at around $21 - we said it could fall to the next retracement level which would mean $19, but most likely, $21 was the bottom. So far that's proven to be the case, and the stock has moved up since then. The chart below has the same target prices as our August 13 chart, though we've moved the timeline out a little to reflect how the stock has traded since that note. We stand by the $44 near term target, though whether that is achieved in late 2021 per our August note, or early 2022 per the chart below, will have to stay in the realm of the unknowable for now. $44 is a purely technical target arising from our projection of that May-June 2021 Wave 1 to the 1.618 extension, a common peak of a subsequent Wave 3.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19d6fa86d01eb6634eed91a11d11fd72\" tg-width=\"2058\" tg-height=\"915\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: TradingView, Cestrian Analysis</i></p>\n<p>To check the technical logic - if you backsolve that $44 into a fundamental valuation, the target isn't silly. Let's say that at 31 March 2022, TTM revenue is up 49% vs. 31 March 2021 - that would mean TTM revenue of $1.8bn. Let's say that by then there are 2bn shares outstanding. And let's say that net debt is unchanged from the 30 June 2021 number (to be clear, there should be more cash by then, but let's assume not). That gives us the following TTM Revenue multiple:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/612f04f5aeac4c39923ac7fb41e3cf2f\" tg-width=\"317\" tg-height=\"130\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis</i></p>\n<p>PLTR has traded around that level in late 2020 &amp; early 2021, when the growth rate was lower (TTM revenue growth in the December-20 quarter was 40%).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bda3963d6be0d5e079cb20b14b1599e9\" tg-width=\"766\" tg-height=\"501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: YCharts.com</i></p>\n<p>So whilst $44 is not a conservative target, we don't think it's unrealistic either. As a background assumption, we believe the S&amp;P and Nasdaq will each move higher between now and year end, supporting an inflation in multiples for growth stocks. That's just our opinion of course, and you will no doubt factor that into your own work on this stock.</p>\n<p><b>Is PLTR A Good Long-Term Buy</b></p>\n<p>We believe Palantir stock to be a compelling long term buy. If we step back from the noise we see the company achieving success in a very difficult vertical market - government - and developing what its users tell us is highly differentiated analytics technology to good effect in the enterprise. Financial fundamentals are strong - though we're critical of cash generation above, the company has fully $2.3bn net cash in the bank to tide it over - and we don't think the market for growth stocks will collapse anytime soon. All told, we remain at Buy on Palantir, re-iterate a medium term target of $44/share, but believe the stock can reach way beyond that over our planned hold period of a decade or more.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","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>Is Palantir Stock A Buy Or Sell After Ark Invest's Trades?</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\">\nIs Palantir Stock A Buy Or Sell After Ark Invest's Trades?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-29 10:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457510-palantir-stock-buy-sell-ark-invests-trades><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nPalantir Technologies is a material holding for momentum investor Ark Invest, across multiple ETFs.\nWhenever Ark buys or sells Palantir in any quantity, social media commentators tend to over...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457510-palantir-stock-buy-sell-ark-invests-trades\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4457510-palantir-stock-buy-sell-ark-invests-trades","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1164961983","content_text":"Summary\n\nPalantir Technologies is a material holding for momentum investor Ark Invest, across multiple ETFs.\nWhenever Ark buys or sells Palantir in any quantity, social media commentators tend to over-react, attempting to infer meaning where we believe there is none.\nPalantir remains a core long term holding in staff personal accounts.

And so it is with Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR).\nThis seemly boring enterprise software-and-services company, which in its business model is much like any other of the past thirty years, has become a social media sensation in its own right.\nLet's use the watcher count on StockTwits as a proxy measure of popularity. PLTR has 180k at the time of writing, which dwarfs other industry-leading headline names in the software business. 180k is a lot of people and/or bot-people. Let's compare it to other pillars of the software industry. How about Atlassian(NASDAQ:TEAM), champion of the no-sales-team high growth business model, leader in the development tools and project management sector? 10k watchers. OK, you might say, nobody has heard of TEAM unless you're some kind of devops nerd. Well, how about industry heavyweight, the original cloud name, Salesforce(NYSE:CRM)? 48k watchers. Less than a third of PLTR's watchers! In fact in terms of watcher count, PLTR more closely tracks meme stocks GME (224k) and AMC (346k). Less a software stock and more a motif for the YOLO generation.\nPalantir And Ark Invest\nThis kind of attention is why, when similarly Twitterati'd fund manager Ark Invest posts its selected daily trades, you see FinTwit over-reaction as regards to any moves in Palantir stock. \"Cathie [Ark Invest CEO, Cathie Wood] is selling!!!\" \"Cathie is loading up!!!\" etc. As longtime enterprise software investors this is mighty odd to us. There are few things more boring than enterprise software, and we speak as folks whose world is enterprise software.\nThat said, Ark is one of the more important funds in the tech market right now, and PLTR is certainly a meaningful holding for them. Here's the holdings in PLTR across the various Ark ETFs.\n\nSource: Arktrack.com\nThe thing is, whilst owning 35m shares of PLTR makes PLTR meaningful to Ark, Ark isn't that meaningful to PLTR, whose shares outstanding count stands at a little under 2bn (source - Ycharts.com). So when analyzing Palantir over the long term we think it best to use the traditional tools of fundamental and technical analysis, and ignore any FinTwit hoopla.\nPalantir Stock Valuation\nLet's take a look at Palantir's financial performance. The stock remains relatively new to market and so we have limited quarterlyhistoricals. As time goes by the quarterly seasonality of the business will become clearer. Here's what we have so far.\n\nSource:Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis\nPalantir is a high growth business, with revenue moving up at +49% year-on-year as of the most recent earnings (Q2, ending 30 June 2021). Gross margins are in line with expectations for a services-heavy business model; should they dip below 70% that ought to be a concern because it would likely mean the revenue is being driven by more bespoke installations and less productized installations, always a risk with this kind of huge-customer software company. Accounting profitability in the shape of EBITDA is solid at 22% TTM margins. Those profit margins are a little misleading however - a huge working capital outflow (the company is paying suppliers before it gets paid) means that whilst cashflow is positive in the last twelve months, unlevered pretax FCF stands at around one-sixth of EBITDA over the same period. Over time that has to correct upwards or one has to conclude that the EBITDA isn't real EBITDA. As the company grows, we would expect change in working capital to be somewhat negative each quarter - back to serving huge customers - but not to the degree that is currently the case. Something to keep an eye on if you own the stock or are thinking of doing so.\nFundamental valuation multiples are as follows, as of the most recent close:\n\nSource: Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis\nIn the current environment paying 39x TTM revenue for 49% TTM revenue growth isn't terrible - that's cheaper than Cloudflare(NYSE:NET)for instance, which is growing at a similar rate and is cashflow negative - but this remains an elevated multiple on any standards and one which can come down fast if growth tails off. So come the Q3 numbers, the single most important number to look at is quarterly revenue. If the company can deliver a continued growth rate of say 40%-45% or better, it remains on the right track. A material deceleration toward 30%-35% is likely to hurt the stock in our view. Earnings, cashflow, all these other things do matter, but the quarterly revenue number matters the most for us - because over the long term if the company can grow at this rate, and simply manage its costs and cash collection competently, nothing will go too far awry.\nLet's now look at the stock price in and of itself, ignoring fundamentals.\nPLTR Stock Price\nStarting with a simple chart - here's how the stock has performed since it first burst forth onto the public market.\n\nSource: YCharts.com\nA remarkable performance so far vs. the major indices (in the form of their proxy ETFs, SPY and QQQ). Volatile, but remarkable.\nIn considering where the stock might head next, we think the Elliott Wave method can be of use. Given that PLTR is so volatile and that it is apparently an emotional stock - those watchers again - behavioral tools like wave analysis and Fibonacci retracement levels are particularly well suited we think.\nBelow we update a chart weposted a while back in our last article on Palantir.\nIf you read that August 13, 2021 note, you'll see that we called the bottom of the June-July correction at around $21 - we said it could fall to the next retracement level which would mean $19, but most likely, $21 was the bottom. So far that's proven to be the case, and the stock has moved up since then. The chart below has the same target prices as our August 13 chart, though we've moved the timeline out a little to reflect how the stock has traded since that note. We stand by the $44 near term target, though whether that is achieved in late 2021 per our August note, or early 2022 per the chart below, will have to stay in the realm of the unknowable for now. $44 is a purely technical target arising from our projection of that May-June 2021 Wave 1 to the 1.618 extension, a common peak of a subsequent Wave 3.\n\nSource: TradingView, Cestrian Analysis\nTo check the technical logic - if you backsolve that $44 into a fundamental valuation, the target isn't silly. Let's say that at 31 March 2022, TTM revenue is up 49% vs. 31 March 2021 - that would mean TTM revenue of $1.8bn. Let's say that by then there are 2bn shares outstanding. And let's say that net debt is unchanged from the 30 June 2021 number (to be clear, there should be more cash by then, but let's assume not). That gives us the following TTM Revenue multiple:\n\nSource: Company SEC filings, YCharts.com, Cestrian Analysis\nPLTR has traded around that level in late 2020 & early 2021, when the growth rate was lower (TTM revenue growth in the December-20 quarter was 40%).\n\nSource: YCharts.com\nSo whilst $44 is not a conservative target, we don't think it's unrealistic either. As a background assumption, we believe the S&P and Nasdaq will each move higher between now and year end, supporting an inflation in multiples for growth stocks. That's just our opinion of course, and you will no doubt factor that into your own work on this stock.\nIs PLTR A Good Long-Term Buy\nWe believe Palantir stock to be a compelling long term buy. If we step back from the noise we see the company achieving success in a very difficult vertical market - government - and developing what its users tell us is highly differentiated analytics technology to good effect in the enterprise. Financial fundamentals are strong - though we're critical of cash generation above, the company has fully $2.3bn net cash in the bank to tide it over - and we don't think the market for growth stocks will collapse anytime soon. All told, we remain at Buy on Palantir, re-iterate a medium term target of $44/share, but believe the stock can reach way beyond that over our planned hold period of a decade or more.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":668,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":882884530,"gmtCreate":1631674675820,"gmtModify":1631890800939,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/882884530","repostId":"2167565149","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2167565149","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631672067,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2167565149?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-15 10:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Chevron Triples Low-Carbon Spend, Avoids Net-Zero Pledge","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2167565149","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Chevron Corp. will triple investments in lower-carbon technologies through the next s","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Chevron Corp. will triple investments in lower-carbon technologies through the next seven years while putting off a pledge for net-zero emissions in contrast to its European peers.</p>\n<p>The oil giant will spend $10 billion through 2028 on hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and carbon capture, with 20% of that allocated to reducing the carbon intensity of its operations, the San Ramon, California-based company said in a statement Tuesday.

Raynor, President And Integrated Drug Dev at Certara (NASDAQ:CERT), made a large insider sell on September 2, according to a new SEC filing.\nWhat Happened: A Form 4 filing from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday showed that Raynor sold 54,462 shares of Certara at a price of $35.38 per share. The total transaction amounted to $1,978,664.\nFollowing the transaction, Raynor still owns 316,010 shares of Certara worth $11,104,591.\nCertara shares were down at $35.14 after Wednesday's closing.\nThe Importance of Insider Transactions\nInsider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.\nIn legal terms, an \"insider\" refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.\nWhen a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.\nInsider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.\nTransaction Codes To Focus On\nInvestors prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.\nCertara tumbled over 7% in premarket trading Thursday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":162,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179235971,"gmtCreate":1626531331793,"gmtModify":1631890800988,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/179235971","repostId":"1198202103","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198202103","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626481985,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1198202103?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-17 08:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow drops nearly 300 points on Friday, snaps 3-week winning streak","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198202103","media":"CNBC","summary":"U.S. stocks fell on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrials Average into the red for the week, as ","content":"<div>\n<p>U.S. stocks fell on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrials Average into the red for the week, as inflation fears overshadowed strong retail sales numbers and better-than-expected earnings reports.\n...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/15/stock-market-open-to-close-news.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The S&P 500 dipped 0.75% to 4,327.16 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.8% to 14,427.24.\nThe three averages closed the week lower to each snap 3-week win streaks. The Dow ended the week down 0.52%, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.97% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.87% during the same period.\n\nA U.S.consumer sentimentindex from the University of Michigan came in at 80.8 for the first half of July, down from 85.5 last month and worse than estimates from economists, who projected an increase. The report released Friday showed inflation expectations rising, with consumers believing prices will increase 4.8% in the next year, the highest level since August 2008.\nThe Dow gave up its gains early Friday shortly after the University of Michigan report came out 30 minutes into the session. Losses increased as the day went on with major averages closing at the lows of the session.\nThe consumer sentiment weakness “is at face value hard to square with the acceleration in employment growth and the continued resilience of the stock market,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, but the report “suggested that concerns over surging inflation are now outweighing those positive trends.”\nInflation fears\nThe market was held back all week by inflation fears although the S&P 500 and Dow did touch new all-time highs briefly. On Tuesday, theconsumer price indexshowed a 5.4% increase in June from a year ago, the fastest pace in nearly 13 years.\nStocks got off to a good start Friday with the Dow rising more than 100 points to above 35,000 shortly after the open.Data released before the bell showed retail and food service salesrose 0.6% in June, while economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected a 0.4% decline. If that level held, it would have been the Dow’s first close ever above 35,000.\nDespite the week’s losses, the Dow is still up 13% for the year and sits just 1.15% from an all-time high. The S&P 500 is up 15% on the year and is 1.51% below its record level.\n“The market looks broadly fairly valued to me, with most stocks priced to provide a market rate of return plus or minus a few percent,” Bill Miller, chairman and chief investment officer of Miller Value Partners,said in an investor letter.\n“There are pockets of what look like appreciable over-valuation and pockets of significant undervaluation in the US market, in my opinion. We can find plenty of names to fill our portfolios and so remain fully invested,” the value investor added.\nEnergy correction\nEnergy stocks, the hottest part of the market in 2021, fell into correction territory on Friday as oil prices pulled back from their highs.\nThe Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund fell more than 2% on Friday, the worst of any group, dropping 14% from its high. Still, the sector is up about 28% in 2021, making it the top performer of any of the 11 main industry groups.\nWeaker performance from technology stocks also weighed on the market Friday. Shares of Apple closed 1.4% lower afternotching a record closejust two days prior. Netflix shares fell ahead of the streaming giant’s second-quarter earnings report next week.\nInvestors digested strong earnings results from the first major week of second-quarter reports. Though some of the nation’s largest companies posted healthy earnings and revenues amid the economic recovery, the reaction in the stock market has so far been muted.\nThe Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ended the week 1.5% lower despite big profit growth numbers posted by the likes of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.\n“Good earnings might have become an excuse for some investors to take profit. And with earnings expectations so high in general, it takes a really big beat for a company to impress,” JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade chief market strategist, said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":170844498,"gmtCreate":1626423187214,"gmtModify":1631890800999,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/170844498","repostId":"2151573133","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151573133","kind":"highlight","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":1626379249,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2151573133?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-16 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq ends lower as investors sell Big Tech","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151573133","media":"Reuters","summary":"July 15  - The Nasdaq ended lower on Thursday, pulled down by Apple, Amazon and other Big Tech companies as a fall in weekly jobless claims data fed investor concerns about a recent inflation spike.Amazon, Apple, Tesla and $Facebook$all fell.

MS Tong confirmed her departure. A Hong Kong-based spokesman for Nomura declined to comment.\nGlobal banks are battling to keep junior investment bankers in Asia where financial technology firm and investment companies can offer a route to faster promotion and the prospects for higher earnings. At Nomura, the attrition was comparable to that in the previous years after bonus payouts, the people said. Still, the departures highlight the acute talent shortage in China and Hong Kong, where attrition rates this year of junior bankers has roughly doubled at some firms.\nNomura has also seen the departure of several prominent bankers in Asia over the past months, including the head of health care investment banking, Vijay Karwal, who became the chief financial officer for biopharmaceutical start-up AffaMed Therapeutics. Anshul Trivedi, head of Asia equity capital markets syndicate, left earlier this month.\nTo boost its ranks, the firm recently hired Li Gao as head of China financial sponsors in Hong Kong from JPMorgan Chase & Co, people familiar said. Sebastian Jones joined as an executive director for the technology, media and telecommunications sector in Singapore from Macquarie Group. Ashwin Narang was hired for the debt team in India.\nThe investment bank is reviewing candidates for the position left by Mr Karwal, and will have a new group of graduate hires starting in late July, the people said.\nInvestment banks are raising pay for junior employees and adding staff to prevent defections and ease discontent over long hours and work-life balance issues during the pandemic.\nHSBC, which is in a midst of a major pivot to Asia, in April promised a shorter career path for new associates, offering promotions after three years instead of four. It also pledged to boost pay.

Buffett isn't infallible, but he's delivered an annual average return of 20% since the mid-1960s for his shareholders. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of more than 2,800,000%!</p>\n<p>What's even more amazing is that Buffett hasn't done anything the average investors couldn't do to net these huge gains. He focuses on a few sectors and industries that interest him, buys companies with clear-cut competitive advantages, and most importantly hangs onto those stakes for a very long time.</p>\n<p>Another source of Buffett's success is concentration. The Oracle of Omaha doesn't believe diversification is necessary if you know what you're doing. This is readily apparent in Berkshire Hathaway's $302.6 billion investment portfolio. As of this past weekend, 85% of Berkshire's invested assets ($257.3 billion) were tied up in only 10 stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/601f21f3cc2f9e5524bd5d613063faa2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Apple: $115.6 billion</h2>\n<p>Tech kingpin <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) makes up about 38% of Warren Buffett's portfolio by itself and has been dubbed \"Berkshire's third business\" by the Oracle of Omaha. Apple offers some of the strongest branding in the world, is the clear leader in smartphones in the U.S., and has been pivoting to higher-margin services under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. Though iPhone sales remain Apple's top product, services becoming a larger percentage of total sales will help remove the revenue lumpiness associated with new product launches.</p>\n<h2>2. Bank of America: $43.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Bank stocks have long been Buffett's favorite place to put Berkshire's money work. <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) is Berkshire's unquestioned largest bank holding, with more than 14% of invested assets. Bank of America has done an excellent job of controlling its noninterest expenses by consolidating branches and emphasizing digital banking. It's also in line to benefit more than any other money-center bank from an eventual rise in interest rates.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed3e6a16841306014bf0cfc3b1697b23\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a>.</span></p>\n<h2>3. American Express: $24.9 billion</h2>\n<p>Payment processor and lender <b>American Express</b> (NYSE:AXP) is Buffett's third-largest and third-longest-held stock. After 28 years of holding AmEx, Berkshire Hathaway's position has grown to almost $25 billion in value. This is a cyclical company that benefits from long periods of economic expansion, as well as its ability to attract affluent clientele. These well-to-do clients are less likely to change their spending habits when economic hiccups arise, which often means less worry about credit delinquencies for AmEx.</p>\n<h2>4. Coca-Cola: $22.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Speaking of long-tenured holdings, beverage behemoth <b>Coca-Cola</b> (NYSE:KO) is the longest-held stock in Buffett's portfolio (33 years). Coca-Cola operates in all but two countries worldwide (North Korea and Cuba) and has more than 20 brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Thanks to its top-notch marketing team, it's also the best-known consumer goods brand. Coke has holiday tie-ins, has allied itself with well-known brand ambassadors, and is embracing digital advertising and social media as a way to get its message to a younger generation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc21d6aabfd53f63ded95ae16cbd64e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"468\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>5. Kraft Heinz: $14.1 billion</h2>\n<p>There's little question that <b>Kraft Heinz</b> (NASDAQ:KHC) is the oddball holding in Buffett's top 10. That's because Buffett admits to Heinz overpaying for Kraft Foods, and the combined company largely underperforming in recent years. This includes a greater than $15 billion goodwill writedown in 2019. While the pandemic has helped boost demand for packaged foods, Kraft Heinz's balance sheet is still bogged down by high debt levels and goodwill. In short, Berkshire Hathaway is sort of stuck with its 325.6 million shares.</p>\n<h2>6. Verizon Communications: $9.1 billion</h2>\n<p>Telecommunications giant <b>Verizon</b> (NYSE:VZ) is a fairly recent addition to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, although it's been bought hand over fist in the previous two quarters by Buffett and his team. The lure of Verizon is likely its 4.4% dividend yield, which is arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the safest high-yield payouts on the planet. What's more, Verizon should benefit immensely from the rollout of 5G infrastructure. It's been a decade since the last major upgrade to download speeds, which suggests that a multiyear tech upgrade cycle will lead to higher-margin data consumption.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7343c3ce7330b86321a8ec9384d4baea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>7. U.S. Bancorp: $8.7 billion</h2>\n<p>Next to BofA, <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is Buffett's favorite bank stock. It's a company that regularly trades at a premium to its book value -- and for good reason. U.S. Bancorp has seen its users embrace technology, with the percentage of consumer loans completed digitally skyrocketing over the past two years. Being able to consolidate its physical branches, while also avoiding riskier derivative investments that have gotten U.S. money-center banks in trouble, has helped U.S. Bancorp to some of the highest return on assets among big banks.</p>\n<h2>8. Moody's: $8.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Credit agency and analytics company <b>Moody's</b> (NYSE:MCO) is yet another top-10 holding that's been held for longer than two decades. With an initial cost basis of just over $10, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an unrealized gain of better than 3,300% -- and this isn't accounting for dividends. Historically low lending rates have kept Moody's credit rating segment busy, while volatile trading markets are boosting demand for Moody's analytics. It's hard to envision Buffett ever selling this stake.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8abdae403dddfa42107e06ea5bfddf39\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>9. BYD: $6.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Back in 2008, Buffett acquired 225 million shares of China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer <b>BYD</b> (OTC:BYDDY)&nbsp;for $1.03 a share (it closed this past week at $27.65 a share). In March, BYD sold 16,301 EVs, which is more than higher-profile competitors <b>NIO</b>&nbsp;and <b>XPeng</b>&nbsp;delivered on a combined basis in the same month. With the Society of Automotive Engineers of China forecasting that half of all new vehicles sales in 2035 will be powered by alternative energy, BYD is in pole position to disrupt the largest auto market in the world.</p>\n<h2>10. DaVita: $4.4 billion</h2>\n<p>Rounding out the top 10 is kidney dialysis services company <b>DaVita</b> (NYSE:DVA). Buffett's fascination with the company is likely a numbers play.

Buffett isn't infallible, but he's delivered an annual average return of 20% since the mid-1960s for his shareholders. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of more than 2,800,000%!\nWhat's even more amazing is that Buffett hasn't done anything the average investors couldn't do to net these huge gains. He focuses on a few sectors and industries that interest him, buys companies with clear-cut competitive advantages, and most importantly hangs onto those stakes for a very long time.\nAnother source of Buffett's success is concentration. The Oracle of Omaha doesn't believe diversification is necessary if you know what you're doing. This is readily apparent in Berkshire Hathaway's $302.6 billion investment portfolio. As of this past weekend, 85% of Berkshire's invested assets ($257.3 billion) were tied up in only 10 stocks.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\n1. Apple: $115.6 billion\nTech kingpin Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) makes up about 38% of Warren Buffett's portfolio by itself and has been dubbed \"Berkshire's third business\" by the Oracle of Omaha. Apple offers some of the strongest branding in the world, is the clear leader in smartphones in the U.S., and has been pivoting to higher-margin services under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. Though iPhone sales remain Apple's top product, services becoming a larger percentage of total sales will help remove the revenue lumpiness associated with new product launches.\n2. Bank of America: $43.2 billion\nBank stocks have long been Buffett's favorite place to put Berkshire's money work. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is Berkshire's unquestioned largest bank holding, with more than 14% of invested assets. Bank of America has done an excellent job of controlling its noninterest expenses by consolidating branches and emphasizing digital banking. It's also in line to benefit more than any other money-center bank from an eventual rise in interest rates.\nImage source: American Express.\n3. American Express: $24.9 billion\nPayment processor and lender American Express (NYSE:AXP) is Buffett's third-largest and third-longest-held stock. After 28 years of holding AmEx, Berkshire Hathaway's position has grown to almost $25 billion in value. This is a cyclical company that benefits from long periods of economic expansion, as well as its ability to attract affluent clientele. These well-to-do clients are less likely to change their spending habits when economic hiccups arise, which often means less worry about credit delinquencies for AmEx.\n4. Coca-Cola: $22.5 billion\nSpeaking of long-tenured holdings, beverage behemoth Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) is the longest-held stock in Buffett's portfolio (33 years). Coca-Cola operates in all but two countries worldwide (North Korea and Cuba) and has more than 20 brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Thanks to its top-notch marketing team, it's also the best-known consumer goods brand. Coke has holiday tie-ins, has allied itself with well-known brand ambassadors, and is embracing digital advertising and social media as a way to get its message to a younger generation.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n5. Kraft Heinz: $14.1 billion\nThere's little question that Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) is the oddball holding in Buffett's top 10. That's because Buffett admits to Heinz overpaying for Kraft Foods, and the combined company largely underperforming in recent years. This includes a greater than $15 billion goodwill writedown in 2019. While the pandemic has helped boost demand for packaged foods, Kraft Heinz's balance sheet is still bogged down by high debt levels and goodwill. In short, Berkshire Hathaway is sort of stuck with its 325.6 million shares.\n6. Verizon Communications: $9.1 billion\nTelecommunications giant Verizon (NYSE:VZ) is a fairly recent addition to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, although it's been bought hand over fist in the previous two quarters by Buffett and his team. The lure of Verizon is likely its 4.4% dividend yield, which is arguably one of the safest high-yield payouts on the planet. What's more, Verizon should benefit immensely from the rollout of 5G infrastructure. It's been a decade since the last major upgrade to download speeds, which suggests that a multiyear tech upgrade cycle will lead to higher-margin data consumption.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n7. U.S. Bancorp: $8.7 billion\nNext to BofA, U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) is Buffett's favorite bank stock. It's a company that regularly trades at a premium to its book value -- and for good reason. U.S. Bancorp has seen its users embrace technology, with the percentage of consumer loans completed digitally skyrocketing over the past two years. Being able to consolidate its physical branches, while also avoiding riskier derivative investments that have gotten U.S. money-center banks in trouble, has helped U.S. Bancorp to some of the highest return on assets among big banks.\n8. Moody's: $8.5 billion\nCredit agency and analytics company Moody's (NYSE:MCO) is yet another top-10 holding that's been held for longer than two decades. With an initial cost basis of just over $10, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an unrealized gain of better than 3,300% -- and this isn't accounting for dividends. Historically low lending rates have kept Moody's credit rating segment busy, while volatile trading markets are boosting demand for Moody's analytics. It's hard to envision Buffett ever selling this stake.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n9. BYD: $6.2 billion\nBack in 2008, Buffett acquired 225 million shares of China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD (OTC:BYDDY) for $1.03 a share (it closed this past week at $27.65 a share). In March, BYD sold 16,301 EVs, which is more than higher-profile competitors NIO and XPeng delivered on a combined basis in the same month. With the Society of Automotive Engineers of China forecasting that half of all new vehicles sales in 2035 will be powered by alternative energy, BYD is in pole position to disrupt the largest auto market in the world.\n10. DaVita: $4.4 billion\nRounding out the top 10 is kidney dialysis services company DaVita (NYSE:DVA). Buffett's fascination with the company is likely a numbers play. Over time, an aging U.S. population is going to become more reliant on kidney dialysis services for maintenance purposes. As the clear leader in providing these services, DaVita should see a steady uptick in demand and reimbursement for its services. This patient long-term thesis perfectly embodies the Buffett investing ethos.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169896874,"gmtCreate":1623825866298,"gmtModify":1634027495336,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169896874","repostId":"1182315358","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1182315358","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623814338,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1182315358?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"It’s time to be smart like Soros in the ‘blow-off’ stage of the bull market in stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1182315358","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"If you’re an investor, you need to be flexible, neither a bull nor a bear.\nIt takes brains and brawn","content":"<p>If you’re an investor, you need to be flexible, neither a bull nor a bear.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/724d1ea0bb18bddb367c79abf08c1af9\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"841\"><span>It takes brains and brawn to be an investor these days. (Photo by Isaac Lawrence/AFP via Getty Images)</span></p>\n<p>I don’t know when what I call the Blow-Off Top of the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market will end.</p>\n<p>After 12 years being long and strong and having diamond hands without even knowing that term existed, maybe I’m wrong to turn more cautious.</p>\n<p>Maybe the economy will reopen and rejuvenate the country in such a strong manner that corporate earnings in 2022 and 2023 will make today’s prices seem like bargains.</p>\n<p>But I simply don’t think that’s the most likely outcome.</p>\n<p>And if I’m right that we’re in the throes of the Blow-Off Top of the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market, I do not want to be overly long and on the wrong side of the great unwind when it does start.</p>\n<p>I’m not calling for a near-term crash. I am saying that it’s likely going to be hard for the bulls to make as much money this year as they did last year.</p>\n<p>Trading and investing are tough. There’s always someone on the other side of every trade you make. Always think about who that is and why they are willing to take the other side of your transaction. When you buy, why are they selling it to you at that price? When you sell, who is buying it from you and what are their motivations? Remember, I’ve talked before about how&nbsp;good analysis starts with empathy.</p>\n<p><b>If I’m selling, who’s buying — and why?</b></p>\n<p>So let’s answer this question right now. Who is buying stocks and cryptos from me when I’ve trimmed and sold for the past month or so? Sure, there are banks and institutions and hedge funds and family offices investing and trading, just as always. On the other hand, remember two years ago when I got back from a hedge fund investment conference&nbsp;in Abu Dhabi and everybody was desperate for returns:</p>\n<p>Amid low interest rates and other investors’ focus on options, credit and currencies, “the lack of focus on traditional stocks and funds that invest in publicly traded stocks makes me think that there is probably more opportunity in such assets than people realize. I certainly see some very compelling long ideas in Revolutionary companies like WORK and TWTR and TSLA.”</p>\n<p>Since that post, back a year and a half ago, Slack&nbsp;went from $21 to being bought out at $45, Twitter&nbsp;went from $27 to $61, and Tesla&nbsp;went from $81 to $616. And funds that were looking everywhere but in the stock market for big gains are … well, pretty much in the markets now and long a bunch of stocks and even long a few cryptos.</p>\n<p>And now that those stocks and cryptos and most other assets have gone parabolic in the past year — coming on top of the 10-year bull market — the billion-dollar fund managers are joined by&nbsp;23-year-old TikTok influencers&nbsp;doing bitcoin&nbsp;trading astrology.</p>\n<p>Yes, for real, and she’s very popular. She’s even been right about some of bitcoin’s action in the past few months! If you’re selling cryptos and fintech stocks right now, you’re selling to her and her followers. And also to my friend’s son, who just graduated from a tiny, rural school and whose unemployed uncle gave him $500 to “buy some cryptos. And make sure you get some fintech. I don’t know the symbol, but just look it up and you’ll do fine over the long run.”&nbsp;Bearish anecdotes everywhere I look, as I wrote recently.</p>\n<p><b>Mr. Market</b></p>\n<p>The other thing to remember about who’s on the other side of your trade is always to remember that there are smart, cutthroat traders and investors who went to the best schools and have access to more research and real-time data and instant trading access to all kinds of derivatives to layer into their bets. And the only thing they do all day, every day, is figure out how to take your money in mostly legal ways. They’re not playing around. They have no sympathy for you, even if they might empathize with you to better understand your motivations to better take your money.</p>\n<p>Mr. Market is mean. He’s not nice. He can be cruel. He can force liquidations that create other liquidations. He can shut off access to capital. He can take down 200-year-old banks in a day. In one day.</p>\n<p>Sometimes the markets lead the economy and not the other way around. Ironically, when we were young, we were taught that the Great Depression started when the stock market crashed on Black Friday in 1929. But then when we get older, we were taught that it wasn’t actually the crash that created the Great Depression, rather the economy was already crashing and the stock market just didn’t realize it as it continued on its merry way toward a terrible Blow-Off Top of a nine-year Bubble-Blowing Bull Market that culminated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;up 400% from the 1921 lows to the 1929 highs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a6516337aacc614d83584ea90e174f2\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"870\"></p>\n<p><b>Learning from Soros</b></p>\n<p>But looking back, it’s clear that both theories are equally right and wrong — the market crashed because the economy wasn’t as good as the market thought it was,<i>and</i>the economy crashed because the markets shut down access to capital for investment and growth.</p>\n<p>It was “reflexive,” to borrow a term from the great hedge fund manager&nbsp;George Soros.</p>\n<p>He wrote, and the concept is important to understand:</p>\n<p>“I continued to consider myself a failed philosopher. All this changed as a result of the financial crisis of 2008. My conceptual framework enabled me both to anticipate the crisis and to deal with it when it finally struck…</p>\n<p>“I can state the core idea in two relatively simple propositions. One is that in situations that have thinking participants, the participants’ view of the world is always partial and distorted. That is the principle of fallibility. The other is that these distorted views can influence the situation to which they relate because false views lead to inappropriate actions. That is the principle of reflexivity…</p>\n<p>“Recognizing reflexivity has been sacrificed to the vain pursuit of certainty in human affairs, most notably in economics, and yet, uncertainty is the key feature of human affairs. Economic theory is built on the concept of equilibrium, and that concept is in direct contradiction with the concept of reflexivity…</p>\n<p>“A positive feedback process is self-reinforcing. It cannot go on forever because eventually the participants’ views would become so far removed from objective reality that the participants would have to recognize them as unrealistic. Nor can the iterative process occur without any change in the actual state of affairs, because it is in the nature of positive feedback that it reinforces whatever tendency prevails in the real world. Instead of equilibrium, we are faced with a dynamic disequilibrium or what may be described as far-from-equilibrium conditions. Usually in far-from-equilibrium situations the divergence between perceptions and reality leads to a climax which sets in motion a positive feedback process in the opposite direction. Such initially self-reinforcing but eventually self-defeating boom-bust processes or bubbles are characteristic of financial markets, but they can also be found in other spheres. There, I call them fertile fallacies—interpretations of reality that are distorted, yet produce results which reinforce the distortion.”</p>\n<p>Stay flexible</p>\n<p>Far-from-equilibrium conditions was what we had in 2010-2013 when we loaded up on Revolutionary stocks and started buying cryptos like bitcoin. Far-from-equilibrium conditions might be what we have in front of us right now when I suggest getting cautious instead.</p>\n<p>We don’t want to be permabulls. (You for sure don’t want to be a permabear!) We have to be flexible. We have to let our analysis and risk/reward scenarios dictate how much risk we’re taking and when. We have to pay attention to the cycles, the self-reinforcing cycles that drive economies and markets and valuations and earnings and societal interactions and bailouts and financial crises and bubbles and busts and, heaven forbid, just simple stagnation.</p>\n<p>It’s as if everybody forgets that markets can bubble and crash and stagnate. They forget that markets can grind for years on end without making new highs, or without even making higher highs. Do you not remember telling your money manager sometime in 2010-2012 that “If I’d just handled the Great Financial Crisis (and/or the Dot-Com Crash) a little better, I’d be in better shape.” I used to hear people say that to me all the time. I haven’t heard anybody say that lately. Everybody’s having fun in this market … at least for now.</p>\n<p>Most traders will tell you that they are “just trading the market that is in front of them.” Well, I don’t know when the bubble will pop, but I do know that I don’t want to be on the wrong side of this market when it does. And I do know that we won’t know the bubble has really popped until the self-reinforcing reflexive feedback loop has made it painful for the vast majority of people who are right now feeling wealthy, feeling secure, feeling like they’ve got this trading and investing thing all figured out.</p>\n<p>We are all fallible. Be careful while it’s fun. Be bold when it’s painful. That’s how I’ve done it for the last 25 years. We were boldly buying these assets when it was painful for others. I’m careful right now because everybody else is having fun.</p>\n<p>I spend a lot of time looking for new ideas and I won’t let my overall market outlook deter me from buying a new name or two.

(Photo by Isaac Lawrence/AFP via Getty Images)\nI don’t know when what I call the Blow-Off Top of the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market will end.\nAfter 12 years being long and strong and having diamond hands without even knowing that term existed, maybe I’m wrong to turn more cautious.\nMaybe the economy will reopen and rejuvenate the country in such a strong manner that corporate earnings in 2022 and 2023 will make today’s prices seem like bargains.\nBut I simply don’t think that’s the most likely outcome.\nAnd if I’m right that we’re in the throes of the Blow-Off Top of the Bubble-Blowing Bull Market, I do not want to be overly long and on the wrong side of the great unwind when it does start.\nI’m not calling for a near-term crash. I am saying that it’s likely going to be hard for the bulls to make as much money this year as they did last year.\nTrading and investing are tough. There’s always someone on the other side of every trade you make. Always think about who that is and why they are willing to take the other side of your transaction. When you buy, why are they selling it to you at that price? When you sell, who is buying it from you and what are their motivations? Remember, I’ve talked before about how good analysis starts with empathy.\nIf I’m selling, who’s buying — and why?\nSo let’s answer this question right now. Who is buying stocks and cryptos from me when I’ve trimmed and sold for the past month or so? Sure, there are banks and institutions and hedge funds and family offices investing and trading, just as always. On the other hand, remember two years ago when I got back from a hedge fund investment conference in Abu Dhabi and everybody was desperate for returns:\nAmid low interest rates and other investors’ focus on options, credit and currencies, “the lack of focus on traditional stocks and funds that invest in publicly traded stocks makes me think that there is probably more opportunity in such assets than people realize. I certainly see some very compelling long ideas in Revolutionary companies like WORK and TWTR and TSLA.”\nSince that post, back a year and a half ago, Slack went from $21 to being bought out at $45, Twitter went from $27 to $61, and Tesla went from $81 to $616. And funds that were looking everywhere but in the stock market for big gains are … well, pretty much in the markets now and long a bunch of stocks and even long a few cryptos.\nAnd now that those stocks and cryptos and most other assets have gone parabolic in the past year — coming on top of the 10-year bull market — the billion-dollar fund managers are joined by 23-year-old TikTok influencers doing bitcoin trading astrology.\nYes, for real, and she’s very popular. She’s even been right about some of bitcoin’s action in the past few months! If you’re selling cryptos and fintech stocks right now, you’re selling to her and her followers. And also to my friend’s son, who just graduated from a tiny, rural school and whose unemployed uncle gave him $500 to “buy some cryptos. And make sure you get some fintech. I don’t know the symbol, but just look it up and you’ll do fine over the long run.” Bearish anecdotes everywhere I look, as I wrote recently.\nMr. Market\nThe other thing to remember about who’s on the other side of your trade is always to remember that there are smart, cutthroat traders and investors who went to the best schools and have access to more research and real-time data and instant trading access to all kinds of derivatives to layer into their bets. And the only thing they do all day, every day, is figure out how to take your money in mostly legal ways. They’re not playing around. They have no sympathy for you, even if they might empathize with you to better understand your motivations to better take your money.\nMr. Market is mean. He’s not nice. He can be cruel. He can force liquidations that create other liquidations. He can shut off access to capital. He can take down 200-year-old banks in a day. In one day.\nSometimes the markets lead the economy and not the other way around. Ironically, when we were young, we were taught that the Great Depression started when the stock market crashed on Black Friday in 1929. But then when we get older, we were taught that it wasn’t actually the crash that created the Great Depression, rather the economy was already crashing and the stock market just didn’t realize it as it continued on its merry way toward a terrible Blow-Off Top of a nine-year Bubble-Blowing Bull Market that culminated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 400% from the 1921 lows to the 1929 highs.\n\nLearning from Soros\nBut looking back, it’s clear that both theories are equally right and wrong — the market crashed because the economy wasn’t as good as the market thought it was,andthe economy crashed because the markets shut down access to capital for investment and growth.\nIt was “reflexive,” to borrow a term from the great hedge fund manager George Soros.\nHe wrote, and the concept is important to understand:\n“I continued to consider myself a failed philosopher. All this changed as a result of the financial crisis of 2008. My conceptual framework enabled me both to anticipate the crisis and to deal with it when it finally struck…\n“I can state the core idea in two relatively simple propositions. One is that in situations that have thinking participants, the participants’ view of the world is always partial and distorted. That is the principle of fallibility. The other is that these distorted views can influence the situation to which they relate because false views lead to inappropriate actions. That is the principle of reflexivity…\n“Recognizing reflexivity has been sacrificed to the vain pursuit of certainty in human affairs, most notably in economics, and yet, uncertainty is the key feature of human affairs. Economic theory is built on the concept of equilibrium, and that concept is in direct contradiction with the concept of reflexivity…\n“A positive feedback process is self-reinforcing. It cannot go on forever because eventually the participants’ views would become so far removed from objective reality that the participants would have to recognize them as unrealistic. Nor can the iterative process occur without any change in the actual state of affairs, because it is in the nature of positive feedback that it reinforces whatever tendency prevails in the real world. Instead of equilibrium, we are faced with a dynamic disequilibrium or what may be described as far-from-equilibrium conditions. Usually in far-from-equilibrium situations the divergence between perceptions and reality leads to a climax which sets in motion a positive feedback process in the opposite direction. Such initially self-reinforcing but eventually self-defeating boom-bust processes or bubbles are characteristic of financial markets, but they can also be found in other spheres. There, I call them fertile fallacies—interpretations of reality that are distorted, yet produce results which reinforce the distortion.”\nStay flexible\nFar-from-equilibrium conditions was what we had in 2010-2013 when we loaded up on Revolutionary stocks and started buying cryptos like bitcoin. Far-from-equilibrium conditions might be what we have in front of us right now when I suggest getting cautious instead.\nWe don’t want to be permabulls. (You for sure don’t want to be a permabear!) We have to be flexible. We have to let our analysis and risk/reward scenarios dictate how much risk we’re taking and when. We have to pay attention to the cycles, the self-reinforcing cycles that drive economies and markets and valuations and earnings and societal interactions and bailouts and financial crises and bubbles and busts and, heaven forbid, just simple stagnation.\nIt’s as if everybody forgets that markets can bubble and crash and stagnate. They forget that markets can grind for years on end without making new highs, or without even making higher highs. Do you not remember telling your money manager sometime in 2010-2012 that “If I’d just handled the Great Financial Crisis (and/or the Dot-Com Crash) a little better, I’d be in better shape.” I used to hear people say that to me all the time. I haven’t heard anybody say that lately. Everybody’s having fun in this market … at least for now.\nMost traders will tell you that they are “just trading the market that is in front of them.” Well, I don’t know when the bubble will pop, but I do know that I don’t want to be on the wrong side of this market when it does. And I do know that we won’t know the bubble has really popped until the self-reinforcing reflexive feedback loop has made it painful for the vast majority of people who are right now feeling wealthy, feeling secure, feeling like they’ve got this trading and investing thing all figured out.\nWe are all fallible. Be careful while it’s fun. Be bold when it’s painful. That’s how I’ve done it for the last 25 years. We were boldly buying these assets when it was painful for others. I’m careful right now because everybody else is having fun.\nI spend a lot of time looking for new ideas and I won’t let my overall market outlook deter me from buying a new name or two. But I want to remain overall cautious and less aggressive than I have been for most of the last decade.\nAs a matter of fact, I might have at least a couple Trade Alerts that I’ll be sending out this week, one long and one short idea.

Selling unique merch to an engaged audience will be a lot easier, and unlike thatOzarkcoaster there are no height requirements or seat restraints to keep you from making the most of the consumer products ride.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":187098872,"gmtCreate":1623728802096,"gmtModify":1634029457197,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Meme stock everytime!","listText":"Meme stock everytime!","text":"Meme stock everytime!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/187098872","repostId":"1167720481","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1167720481","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623723356,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1167720481?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-15 10:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Meme Stocks Or Apple, I Choose Apple Every Time","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1167720481","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Apple has been a negative investment in 2021 while Meme stocks have exploded which is ridiculous.Investors have been granted an opportunity to purchase Apple before its next leg up while the attention has shifted to chasing the quick buck with Meme stocks.Apple is on pace to generate more than $300 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2021 and $75 billion in net income.Eventually Apple will be invested back to the party and their numbers will be celebrated.So what does AAPL do with all of the cash","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Apple has been a negative investment in 2021 while Meme stocks have exploded which is ridiculous.</li>\n <li>Investors have been granted an opportunity to purchase Apple before its next leg up while the attention has shifted to chasing the quick buck with Meme stocks.</li>\n <li>Apple is on pace to generate more than $300 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2021 and $75 billion in net income.</li>\n <li>Eventually Apple will be invested back to the party and their numbers will be celebrated.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54c3b80a3353ef82f618688f13f74658\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\"><span>Nikada/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>In 2021, Apple (AAPL) has become a negative returning investment underperforming the SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) by a margin greater than 15%. In May of 2021, one of the hottest fund managers&nbsp;Cathie Wood&nbsp;of&nbsp;Ark Invest, sold nearly 300,000 shares of AAPL from the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF). It was reported that ARK, at one point, was reducing their stake in AAPL to add to their positions in&nbsp;Coinbase (COIN) and DraftKings (DKNG). Actively managed funds such as the one's ARK oversees buy and sell equities daily and could have been using AAPL as an alternative to cash. AAPL has a mixed bag of reviews as some believe its best days are ahead of it while others believe the glory days won't be reclaimed. I think the market is granting investors an opportunity as AAPL should breakout from its sideways pattern in the 2ndhalf of 2021.</p>\n<p>The market wasn't impressed by the blowout AAPL delivered in Q1 and Q2. Instead of an upside climb supported by fundamentals, shares of AAPL have been treading water. As an AAPL bull, it's perplexing that so much attention is placed on meme stocks instead of companies such as AAPL when it's setting the stage for their best year ever. After reading the comments of the recent articles on MEME stocks, I have written, then looking back at the comment sections of some AAPL articles, I just don't understand how the mindset is shifting to outright speculation &amp; gambling rather than investing. In the first 2 quarters of the fiscal year, 2021 AAPL has generated $3.08 in EPS while the entire 2020 fiscal year delivered $3.31 in EPS. AAPL is solidifying the foundation for its best year ever in many metrics, yet the market isn't impressed. I believe there will be impressive fireworks in the 2ndhalf of 2021, and patient shareholders will be rewarded as Q3 and Q4 numbers are reported.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e86cb02096dfa9c6da05e350f274aa64\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"556\"><span>(Source: Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p><b>Apple believes it's the best investment in the market and puts their money where their mouth is</b></p>\n<p>So what does AAPL do with all of the cash it generates? For starters, they spend tens of billions annually building out their businesses while investing in research and development [R&amp;D]. In&nbsp;2020, AAPL spent $169.56 billion on their cost of generating revenue. The fruits of their labor can be seen in their product offerings and how quickly their newest business segments, including services and wearables, Home, and accessories, have grown. AAPL allocated $18.75 billion in 2020 to R&amp;D, generating advancements to their beloved products. One of the reasons AAPL has a cliental that could resemble a cult-like mentality is because AAPL doesn't stop innovating. They are always at the forefront pushing the boundaries of how technology can enhance an individual's daily life.</p>\n<p>So what about the remaining cash after AAPL's business expenses are fulfilled? AAPL bets on themselves and views their stock as an investment. Since the fiscal year 2012, AAPL has repurchased $421.7 billion in its own stock. In 2021 AAPL has repurchased $43 billion in stock, indicating that senior leadership believes there is tremendous value in owning shares of AAPL. I remember the days where everyone got excited when insiders purchased shares of their company. For AAPL buying back stock is just an ordinary Monday. AAPL has repurchased more in stock over the past decade than most companies will ever see their market caps grow to. AAPL's&nbsp;board&nbsp;authorized an additional $90 billion to its existing share repurchase plan, and AAPL returned almost&nbsp;$23 billion&nbsp;in capital to shareholders in Q2 2021, it doesn't get more bullish than that.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3dbaf61374104ed17e51201af591ab7d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"349\"><span>(Source: Apple)</span></p>\n<p><b>Meme stocks vs. Apple and the insanity of this market</b></p>\n<p>GameStop (GME) and AMC Entertainment Holdings (AMC) have decimated AAPL in share price appreciation throughout the first half of 2021.

I can tell you, not a single thing. AMC is still a company that is in the red and barely makes money. I get it investing in companies like AMC can generate huge returns due to volatility, and I am not knocking it. If you can make money on it, by all means, don't let anyone stand in your way but be careful. When you read through&nbsp;AMC's income statement, they have never exceeded $400 million in net income. In the past decade, AMC's most profitable year was 2013, as their net income was $364.4 million. In 2019 which had zero ramifications from COVID, AMC generated $5.47 billion in revenue and couldn't even turn a profit as they lost -$149.1 million. AMC's last quarterly report had -$2.3 billion in equity on its balance sheet. The reality is AMC can issue additional shares and sell them to raise capital. This would benefit AMC by improving its balance sheet and increase its cash on hand. It seems like people don't understand that when a company issues more shares, the initial batch becomes diluted and is worthless because of the additional supply. AMC can issue shares and strengthen its balance sheet, but it won't solve its profit problems. AAPL pays more in dividends to its shareholders every quarter than the profit AMC has generated in the past decade, yet AMC is the stock generating larger returns.</p>\n<p>When investors purchase shares of AMC, they are buying a company with negative EPS. AMC's P/E ratio isn't measurable on a trailing twelve-month or a forward basis, yet investors are willing to pay for nonexistent earnings. In the comments of my&nbsp;AMC article, people said fundamentals don't matter. I understand that AMC has been a technical trade, but that doesn't change the reality that investors are paying for a company with negative earnings.Currently, the average PE Ratio for the S&amp;P is 45.02. If I use the EPS AAPL generated in the first 6 months of the fiscal year 2021 of $3.08, their PE Ratio would be 40.55. For the TTM, AAPL has generated $4.49 in EPS, which brings their PE Ratio down to 28.09. Currently, investors are paying $28.09 for every $1 in earnings AAPL generates, which is low for the tech industry.Amazon (AMZN)&nbsp;has a PE of 62.44,Microsoft (MSFT)34.93, and&nbsp;Google (GOOGL)of 32.05. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to invest in companies that turn a profit.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79e06d9bc68454731c984429111ff056\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"661\"><span>(Source:multpl.com)</span></p>\n<p><b>Laying out the bull case for Apple and why a breakout to the upside is inevitable</b></p>\n<p>AAPL has a cult-like following that gravitates to its products and services. For the first 6 months of 2021,AAPLhas generated $201.02 billion in revenue, $82.41 billion in gross profit, and $52.39 billion in net income. In 2021 AAPL has already generated 73.23% ($201.02 billion) of 2020's total revenue, then 78.51% of 2020's gross income ($82.41 billion) and 91.25% of 2020's total net income ($52.39 billion). AAPL is on track to decimate its previous records, and unless something unfathomable occurs, 2021 will be AAPL's best year ever.</p>\n<p>So the real questions are what's causing the surge in AAPL's financials, and are they sustainable? Part of the reason is AAPL has seen an increase in its hardware sales from iPhone 12's down to iPads. An argument can be made that many people needed to upgrade their technology during the pandemic due to working from home or remote learning, but that logic can't be used for 2021. At the end of April, when&nbsp;AAPL reported Q2,their iPhone sales exceeded expectations by $7.14 billion, Mac sales by $2.2 billion, and iPad sales by $2.01 billion. These numbers were a year later, and while the iPhone 12, which was AAPL's first 5G release, was expected to create tailwinds, I believe the pandemic pushed society into a place where a greater emphasis is placed on technology.</p>\n<p>I believe AAPL will continue to see strong hardware sales, but that's only one piece of the puzzle. Services and Wearables Home and Accessories are becoming huge components of AAPL's financial metrics. In&nbsp;2018 Services&nbsp;generated $39.75 billion in revenue. In 2019 Services increased by $6.54 billion (16.46%) as they finished the year with $46.29 billion in revenue. In 2020 Services grew by $7.48 billion (16.15%) as its revenue totaled $53.77 billion. In the first 6 months of 2020, Services has already generated $32.66 billion in revenue, which is 60.75% of 2020's total revenue. Services continue to grow creating a true business segment of reoccurring revenue for AAPL. The beauty of Services is with each piece of hardware AAPL sells; there is an opportunity to generate additional revenue through Services every month.</p>\n<p>Services are becoming a home run for AAPL as it diversifies its revenue mix away from being solely constructed from physical products. At the close of the fiscal year 2020, Services had increased its annual revenue by $29.42 billion (120.83%) in just 4 years. In the first 6 months of 2021, Services has generated $32.66 billion, which is 60% of 2020's annual revenue. AAPL is on track to crack $60 billion in revenue from Services in the fiscal year 2021. Looking further out, Services could be a $100 billion revenue generator in the not-too-distant future.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f044f79f7525038fb94ed27b6a92209\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"373\"><span>(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Apple)</span></p>\n<p>Wearables Home and Accessories continues to follow in Service's footsteps as it has become a larger revenue segment than iPad and Mac. With the inception of the Apple Watch, this category has grown from generating $11.13 billion in 2016 to $30.62 billion in 2020. Over 4 fiscal years, Wearables Home and Accessories has increased its revenue by $24.48 billion (175.06%), and its growth keeps expanding. In the first 6 months of 2021, Wearables Home and Accessories have generated $20.81 billion in revenue, which is 67.95% of 2020's total revenue. AAPL is certainly on track to generate $35 billion-plus in revenue from Wearables Home and Accessories in the fiscal year 2021. Over the next several years, AAPL is on track to generate $50 billion in annual revenue from Wearables Home and Accessories.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d7071ec652302c6cab585fef4c408d65\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"373\"><span>(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Apple)</span></p>\n<p>By the end of the Fiscal Year 2025, there is a good chance that Services can generate more than $78 billion, and Wearables Home and Accessories could generate over $44 billion in annual revenue if they both grow at a 10% rate. These two categories are on pace to exceed $100 billion in revenue combined, which could grow into $150 billion annually in the late 2020s. I am shocked investors haven't been piling into AAPL, and it's even more ludicrous that an emphasis on AAPL's numbers isn't being discussed in greater detail. What's AAPL worth down the road when Services reaches $100 billion in revenue and Wearables Home and Accessories reaches $50 billion? Over the past decade, AAPL has continued to innovate and change how technology is used, and to think their best days are behind them is a notion I refuse to believe.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/62cd231b75d9f875329f6713debe846b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"191\"><span>(Source: Apple)</span></p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>The meme stocks are causing a lot of excitement for some investors while they leave a whole other group shaking their heads. Other than a gamble, I can't understand why people want to invest in AMC when you could buy shares of AAPL on sale. AAPL should have exploded to the upside, but its 2 recent blowout quarters didn't move the needle. I believe it's going to be different once the Q3 numbers are reported. We're going to find out that once again, AAPL continues to buy shares by the billions while reporting that in 9 months, they have generated more net income than all of 2020. In the first 6 months of operations, AAPL has generated $201.02 billion in revenue and $52.39 billion in net income while giving back $53.2 billion in buybacks and dividends. Investors have been granted an opportunity to buy more AAPL before the next leg up. I am a shareholder of AAPL, and I plan on buying more before Q3 earnings.</p>","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>Apple: Meme Stocks Or Apple, I Choose Apple Every Time</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\">\nApple: Meme Stocks Or Apple, I Choose Apple Every Time\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-15 10:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434600-apple-meme-stocks-or-apple-i-choose-apple-every-time><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple has been a negative investment in 2021 while Meme stocks have exploded which is ridiculous.\nInvestors have been granted an opportunity to purchase Apple before its next leg up while the...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434600-apple-meme-stocks-or-apple-i-choose-apple-every-time\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434600-apple-meme-stocks-or-apple-i-choose-apple-every-time","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1167720481","content_text":"Summary\n\nApple has been a negative investment in 2021 while Meme stocks have exploded which is ridiculous.\nInvestors have been granted an opportunity to purchase Apple before its next leg up while the attention has shifted to chasing the quick buck with Meme stocks.\nApple is on pace to generate more than $300 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2021 and $75 billion in net income.\nEventually Apple will be invested back to the party and their numbers will be celebrated.\n\nNikada/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\nIn 2021, Apple (AAPL) has become a negative returning investment underperforming the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) by a margin greater than 15%.

Currently, investors are paying $28.09 for every $1 in earnings AAPL generates, which is low for the tech industry.Amazon (AMZN) has a PE of 62.44,Microsoft (MSFT)34.93, and Google (GOOGL)of 32.05. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to invest in companies that turn a profit.\n(Source:multpl.com)\nLaying out the bull case for Apple and why a breakout to the upside is inevitable\nAAPL has a cult-like following that gravitates to its products and services. For the first 6 months of 2021,AAPLhas generated $201.02 billion in revenue, $82.41 billion in gross profit, and $52.39 billion in net income. In 2021 AAPL has already generated 73.23% ($201.02 billion) of 2020's total revenue, then 78.51% of 2020's gross income ($82.41 billion) and 91.25% of 2020's total net income ($52.39 billion). AAPL is on track to decimate its previous records, and unless something unfathomable occurs, 2021 will be AAPL's best year ever.\nSo the real questions are what's causing the surge in AAPL's financials, and are they sustainable? Part of the reason is AAPL has seen an increase in its hardware sales from iPhone 12's down to iPads. An argument can be made that many people needed to upgrade their technology during the pandemic due to working from home or remote learning, but that logic can't be used for 2021. At the end of April, when AAPL reported Q2,their iPhone sales exceeded expectations by $7.14 billion, Mac sales by $2.2 billion, and iPad sales by $2.01 billion. These numbers were a year later, and while the iPhone 12, which was AAPL's first 5G release, was expected to create tailwinds, I believe the pandemic pushed society into a place where a greater emphasis is placed on technology.\nI believe AAPL will continue to see strong hardware sales, but that's only one piece of the puzzle. Services and Wearables Home and Accessories are becoming huge components of AAPL's financial metrics. In 2018 Services generated $39.75 billion in revenue. In 2019 Services increased by $6.54 billion (16.46%) as they finished the year with $46.29 billion in revenue. In 2020 Services grew by $7.48 billion (16.15%) as its revenue totaled $53.77 billion. In the first 6 months of 2020, Services has already generated $32.66 billion in revenue, which is 60.75% of 2020's total revenue. Services continue to grow creating a true business segment of reoccurring revenue for AAPL. The beauty of Services is with each piece of hardware AAPL sells; there is an opportunity to generate additional revenue through Services every month.\nServices are becoming a home run for AAPL as it diversifies its revenue mix away from being solely constructed from physical products. At the close of the fiscal year 2020, Services had increased its annual revenue by $29.42 billion (120.83%) in just 4 years. In the first 6 months of 2021, Services has generated $32.66 billion, which is 60% of 2020's annual revenue. AAPL is on track to crack $60 billion in revenue from Services in the fiscal year 2021. Looking further out, Services could be a $100 billion revenue generator in the not-too-distant future.\n(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Apple)\nWearables Home and Accessories continues to follow in Service's footsteps as it has become a larger revenue segment than iPad and Mac. With the inception of the Apple Watch, this category has grown from generating $11.13 billion in 2016 to $30.62 billion in 2020. Over 4 fiscal years, Wearables Home and Accessories has increased its revenue by $24.48 billion (175.06%), and its growth keeps expanding. In the first 6 months of 2021, Wearables Home and Accessories have generated $20.81 billion in revenue, which is 67.95% of 2020's total revenue. AAPL is certainly on track to generate $35 billion-plus in revenue from Wearables Home and Accessories in the fiscal year 2021. Over the next several years, AAPL is on track to generate $50 billion in annual revenue from Wearables Home and Accessories.\n(Source: Steven Fiorillo) (Data Source: Apple)\nBy the end of the Fiscal Year 2025, there is a good chance that Services can generate more than $78 billion, and Wearables Home and Accessories could generate over $44 billion in annual revenue if they both grow at a 10% rate. These two categories are on pace to exceed $100 billion in revenue combined, which could grow into $150 billion annually in the late 2020s. I am shocked investors haven't been piling into AAPL, and it's even more ludicrous that an emphasis on AAPL's numbers isn't being discussed in greater detail. What's AAPL worth down the road when Services reaches $100 billion in revenue and Wearables Home and Accessories reaches $50 billion? Over the past decade, AAPL has continued to innovate and change how technology is used, and to think their best days are behind them is a notion I refuse to believe.\n(Source: Apple)\nConclusion\nThe meme stocks are causing a lot of excitement for some investors while they leave a whole other group shaking their heads. Other than a gamble, I can't understand why people want to invest in AMC when you could buy shares of AAPL on sale. AAPL should have exploded to the upside, but its 2 recent blowout quarters didn't move the needle. I believe it's going to be different once the Q3 numbers are reported. We're going to find out that once again, AAPL continues to buy shares by the billions while reporting that in 9 months, they have generated more net income than all of 2020. In the first 6 months of operations, AAPL has generated $201.02 billion in revenue and $52.39 billion in net income while giving back $53.2 billion in buybacks and dividends. Investors have been granted an opportunity to buy more AAPL before the next leg up. I am a shareholder of AAPL, and I plan on buying more before Q3 earnings.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":136,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":187093847,"gmtCreate":1623728646389,"gmtModify":1634029458571,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy and hold!

Per a recent report from Ampere Analysis, Netflix’s market share was cut by nearly one-third, from 29% to 20% of the total market, as competitors like Disney&nbsp;(<b>DIS</b>) -Get Report&nbsp;have challenged for the streaming crown and seriously damaged the company’s growth story.</p><p>“I think it’s been disconnected from the [rest of the FAANG] group for a while now given its business is extremely different from other members,” Joel Kulina, SVP of Equity Trading at Wedbush Securities said. “It's still a good proxy for large cap growth sentiment but that’s about it.”</p><p><b>Microsoft Moving In?</b></p><p>Given the shortcoming of Netflix in terms of fitting in with the rest of FAANG, debate has been kickstarted over a potential replacement.</p><p>While FAANG was built upon dominance in a particular industry by Cramer, each of the companies that encompass the acronym, save Netflix, have become diversified companies with benefits from multiple industries and strong network effects.</p><p>Apple’s pivot to services has been well-publicized and undergirded its long-term bull thesis; Alphabet has expanded very successfully into video through its acquisition of Youtube and rapidly grown its cloud business while it continues to make many bets in fields as disparate as video games and autonomous vehicles; Facebook has acquired to assert dominance in social media; and Amazon’s cloud dominance has overshadowed its retail beginnings to bolster all of its businesses.</p><p>Through these platforms that branch across numerous industries, each company has been able to benefit from mutualistic business models that cement their status as a dominant tech player. The same cannot be said for Netflix. In order to correct for this glaring dissimilarity, Microsoft&nbsp;(<b>MSFT</b>) -Get Report&nbsp;might be a perfect replacement.</p><p>While the Redmond, Washington-based company has long held a stranglehold on operating systems as its core business, its forays into gaming, advertising and especially cloud computing have taken the company to new heights. In fact, about one-third of the company’s overall revenue is now derived from its cloud business, building upon its longstanding dominance in software.</p><p>Indeed, as CEO Satya Nadella teases a major update to Windows operating systems at the company’s Build 2021 event in late May while signaling an intention to dive deeper than ever into cutting edge technology in cloud, the dominant and well-diversified company is clearly more similar to Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Google than Netflix’s decidedly concentrated business. Like those other companies, Microsoft is dominant in one area of the business while still growing rapidly in others.</p><p>Further, while Cramer did not envision the group as a valuation-based grouping, the staggering gap between Netflix and the rest of its FAANG peers is becoming only more notable. While Netflix sports a still healthy market cap of just over $200 billion, it pales in comparison to the market cap’s of the rest of the grouping, which range from just under $1 trillion in Facebook's case to in excess of $2 trillion for Apple.</p><p>In terms of market-moving ability, this leaves Netflix as somewhat of a laggard and therefore less useful for the grouping’s service as a market indicator.</p><p><b>Addition, Not Subtraction</b></p><p>Still, part of the ubiquity of the FAANG name is not entirely based upon its application to markets. A great degree of credit belongs to the catchiness of the name itself, meaning FAAMG or FAMGA might leave a great deal to be desired in terms of catching on.</p><p>As a result, Wedbush’s Kulina argues that Netflix need not be removed. Instead, he argues for the addition of both Microsoft and his chosen semiconductor stalwart Nvidia&nbsp;(<b>NVDA</b>) -Get Report&nbsp;to result in the catchy FANGMAN.</p><p>“Many have tried to include Microsoft in with others but it doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily,” he commented. “FANGMAN has been one of the better ones I’ve come across, easy to say; includes large cap growth names across various pockets of tech.”</p><p>Certainly Nvidia would also fit in well as its dominance in graphics chips has helped the firm assert a dominant market share in graphics cards, clocking in at a whopping 82% market share per Jon Peddie Research.</p><p>In terms of diversifying, CEO Jensen Huang’s acquisition strategy has helped the firm branch into the automotive industry through high-profile partnerships through its NVIDIA drive network as well as data centers, aided by the acquisition of Mellanox, as well as AI technology through its anticipated takeover of Arm.</p><p>While the semiconductor industry is certainly crowded, Nvidia has managed to set itself apart beyond its firm base in gaming and graphic chip dominance. As such, it might also be a perfect candidate for mention alongside the long-time tech leaders. Also, its market cap is a healthy $400+ billion, adding to its potential to fit with the rest of the group.</p><p>As such, Netflix may not need to be removed from FAANG as it still clings to a lead in streaming amidst the wave of entrants to the industry, but it may need to at least move into a slightly more crowded market mnemonic.</p>","source":"lsy1610613172068","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Per a recent report from Ampere Analysis, Netflix’s market share was cut by nearly one-third, from 29% to 20% of the total market, as competitors like Disney (DIS) -Get Report have challenged for the streaming crown and seriously damaged the company’s growth story.“I think it’s been disconnected from the [rest of the FAANG] group for a while now given its business is extremely different from other members,” Joel Kulina, SVP of Equity Trading at Wedbush Securities said. “It's still a good proxy for large cap growth sentiment but that’s about it.”Microsoft Moving In?Given the shortcoming of Netflix in terms of fitting in with the rest of FAANG, debate has been kickstarted over a potential replacement.While FAANG was built upon dominance in a particular industry by Cramer, each of the companies that encompass the acronym, save Netflix, have become diversified companies with benefits from multiple industries and strong network effects.Apple’s pivot to services has been well-publicized and undergirded its long-term bull thesis; Alphabet has expanded very successfully into video through its acquisition of Youtube and rapidly grown its cloud business while it continues to make many bets in fields as disparate as video games and autonomous vehicles; Facebook has acquired to assert dominance in social media; and Amazon’s cloud dominance has overshadowed its retail beginnings to bolster all of its businesses.Through these platforms that branch across numerous industries, each company has been able to benefit from mutualistic business models that cement their status as a dominant tech player. The same cannot be said for Netflix. In order to correct for this glaring dissimilarity, Microsoft (MSFT) -Get Report might be a perfect replacement.While the Redmond, Washington-based company has long held a stranglehold on operating systems as its core business, its forays into gaming, advertising and especially cloud computing have taken the company to new heights. In fact, about one-third of the company’s overall revenue is now derived from its cloud business, building upon its longstanding dominance in software.Indeed, as CEO Satya Nadella teases a major update to Windows operating systems at the company’s Build 2021 event in late May while signaling an intention to dive deeper than ever into cutting edge technology in cloud, the dominant and well-diversified company is clearly more similar to Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Google than Netflix’s decidedly concentrated business. Like those other companies, Microsoft is dominant in one area of the business while still growing rapidly in others.Further, while Cramer did not envision the group as a valuation-based grouping, the staggering gap between Netflix and the rest of its FAANG peers is becoming only more notable. While Netflix sports a still healthy market cap of just over $200 billion, it pales in comparison to the market cap’s of the rest of the grouping, which range from just under $1 trillion in Facebook's case to in excess of $2 trillion for Apple.In terms of market-moving ability, this leaves Netflix as somewhat of a laggard and therefore less useful for the grouping’s service as a market indicator.Addition, Not SubtractionStill, part of the ubiquity of the FAANG name is not entirely based upon its application to markets. A great degree of credit belongs to the catchiness of the name itself, meaning FAAMG or FAMGA might leave a great deal to be desired in terms of catching on.As a result, Wedbush’s Kulina argues that Netflix need not be removed. Instead, he argues for the addition of both Microsoft and his chosen semiconductor stalwart Nvidia (NVDA) -Get Report to result in the catchy FANGMAN.“Many have tried to include Microsoft in with others but it doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily,” he commented. “FANGMAN has been one of the better ones I’ve come across, easy to say; includes large cap growth names across various pockets of tech.”Certainly Nvidia would also fit in well as its dominance in graphics chips has helped the firm assert a dominant market share in graphics cards, clocking in at a whopping 82% market share per Jon Peddie Research.In terms of diversifying, CEO Jensen Huang’s acquisition strategy has helped the firm branch into the automotive industry through high-profile partnerships through its NVIDIA drive network as well as data centers, aided by the acquisition of Mellanox, as well as AI technology through its anticipated takeover of Arm.While the semiconductor industry is certainly crowded, Nvidia has managed to set itself apart beyond its firm base in gaming and graphic chip dominance. As such, it might also be a perfect candidate for mention alongside the long-time tech leaders. Also, its market cap is a healthy $400+ billion, adding to its potential to fit with the rest of the group.As such, Netflix may not need to be removed from FAANG as it still clings to a lead in streaming amidst the wave of entrants to the industry, but it may need to at least move into a slightly more crowded market mnemonic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":46,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108899934,"gmtCreate":1620008416928,"gmtModify":1634208567034,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for the reminder!

(AAPL) and Tesla Inc. (TSLA) seem as contrasting as treacle and water whether we are comparing their business models or the stock. However, after Apple confirmed that it was indeed working tolaunch a carin three to six years, market players have begun to speak about the two tech titans in the same breath.</p><p>In this article, I will compare the valuations of Apple and Tesla as well as discuss their respective stock performance. I will also discuss the suitability of AAPL and TSLA to different types of long-term investors.</p><p><b>Valuation comparison of Apple and Tesla</b></p><p>From the trough in March 2020 following the market panic over the COVID-19 outbreak, Tesla stock climbed more than 1000 percent higher by January this year. After the swoon in March, TSLA is still up over 800 percent, far outperforming Apple stock which had<i>merely</i>doubled in the same period.</p><p>Judging by the percentage returns, TSLA is the undisputed champion over AAPL. However, it's important to note that more than $1 trillion in market capitalization was added to Apple since mid-March of last year, while Tesla scored a smaller increase of $582 million.</p><p>At its current market cap of $648.9 billion, Tesla, Inc. is less than one-third the size of Apple, Inc. Despite the massive media attention it receives and the outsized influence its chief executive officer Elon Musk has on the investing community, Tesla only has 72 percent of the market cap of social media giant Facebook (FB).</p><p>In other words, while Apple stock has broken the psychological market cap of both one trillion and two trillion dollars, Tesla stock is still some distance from being \"obstructed\" by the first trillion-barrier. Considering that TSLA had in January surpassed FB stock in terms of market cap, should that happen again, we could see it potentially breaching the one trillion dollars level for the first time.</p><p>Critics could argue that would bring Tesla's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to above a thousand times, a mind-boggling number in itself. In contrast, Apple's P/E ratio is currently at 28.7 times, a paltry number in comparison. However, for much of TSLA's trading history, the stock didn't even have a P/E ratio to speak of, as the company was not profitable for many years. Yet, the lack of a P/E ratio did not deter investors from piling in.</p><p>Based on the price-to-sales ratio, if Tesla Inc. reclaims the 30 times record achieved in January, its market cap would indeed be within reach of the one trillion dollar mark, coming at around $930 million. At the same time, comparing Apple with Tesla, the former certainly looks \"cheap\" and could be described as a \"screaming buy\". I have made the description in quotations as that can be said of many stocks when compared with Tesla.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0237824d55d08bcaac64f42aca9d9863\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"495\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Hence, it's more instructive to compare Apple Inc. with itself. In the past 10 years, its P/E ratio is an average of 17 times. The current P/E of 29 times is, thus, a leap over the historical average, even though it has come off the recent peaks of over 40 times in the past year.</p><p>For those who look beyond the income statements and into the cash flows, Apple's $90.5 billion free cash flow [FCF] outshines Tesla's $2.4 billion by an extremely wide margin. Putting the chasm in perspective, AAPL's price-to-FCF ratio at 24 times is ultra-low relative to TSLA's 310 times.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/960a9aac76fa63f1641c99e5f6552848\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"494\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Should long-term investors go for AAPL or TSLA?</b></p><p>At first glance, it looks to me that Apple stock is a good value buy. However, looking at the quant grade for value, AAPL's score of D+ is not that much better than TSLA's F. Why is this so? The primary reason is that quant ratings are based on the individual stock's metrics relative to its industry. Apple, Inc. belongs to the Information Technology sector, while Tesla, Inc. falls under Consumer Discretionary.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6387a75dbe764282d1160dac9c93e1c3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"271\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span> Source: Seeking Alpha Premium</span></p><p>For growth, AAPL scored a poor grade of C- while TSLA has a stellar A+. While this is also judged according to their respective sectors, readers can see in the following table that TSLA's growth metrics are significantly superior to AAPL and consistently so.</p><p>For instance, Tesla's revenue on a 5-year CAGR basis is 53.2 percent, several times that of Apple's 7.4 percent. If Tesla's 50.8 percent EBITDA year-on-year growth is impressive, the 63.5 percent EBITDA growth on a forward basis would be incredible. In contrast, analysts are forecasting Apple's EBITDA growth on a forward basis to be more than halved. TSLA grew its tangible book value by 77.2 percent CAGR in the past three years while AAPL saw a contraction of 18.3 percent in the same period.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Growth Metrics</th><th>AAPL</th><th>TSLA</th></tr><tr><th>Revenue Growth (YoY)</th><td><p>21.43%</p></td><td><p>38.11%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Revenue Growth (FWD)</th><td><p>12.19%</p></td><td><p>39.54%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Revenue 3 Year [CAGR]</th><td><p>9.56%</p></td><td><p>42.31%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Revenue 5 Year [CAGR]</th><td><p>7.42%</p></td><td><p>53.24%</p></td></tr><tr><th>EBITDA Growth (YoY)</th><td><p>29.12%</p></td><td><p>50.80%</p></td></tr><tr><th>EBITDA Growth (FWD)</th><td><p>12.96%</p></td><td><p>63.49%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Tang Book Value 3 Year [CAGR]</th><td><p>-18.31%</p></td><td><p>77.24%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Total Assets 3 Year [CAGR]</th><td><p>-2.83%</p></td><td><p>24.77%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The saving grace for Apple Inc., or its attraction, is its superior profitability metrics. Its gross profit margin is nearly double that of Tesla. Further down the income statement, Apple's net income margin at 23.5 percent is more than 7 times higher than Tesla's.</p><p>AAPL's Return on Equity is a staggering 103.4 percent as compared to TSLA's 7.2 percent. The disparity is expected to widen as Apple continues to execute its share buyback program, shrinking its equity, while Tesla issues new shares to fund its growth. Its Return on Assets at 16.9 percent is several times that of Tesla's 3.0 percent. Its Return on Total Capital at 28.6 percent is 6.7 times that of Tesla's 4.3 percent.</p><table><tbody><tr><th>Profitability Metrics</th><th>AAPL</th><th>TSLA</th></tr><tr><th>Gross Profit Margin</th><td><p>39.88%</p></td><td><p>21.18%</p></td></tr><tr><th>EBIT Margin</th><td><p>27.32%</p></td><td><p>6.01%</p></td></tr><tr><th>EBITDA Margin</th><td><p>30.68%</p></td><td><p>12.66%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Net Income Margin</th><td><p>23.45%</p></td><td><p>3.18%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Levered FCF Margin</th><td><p>24.62%</p></td><td><p>9.84%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Return on Equity</th><td><p>103.40%</p></td><td><p>7.16%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Return on Assets</th><td><p>16.90%</p></td><td><p>2.99%</p></td></tr><tr><th>Return on Total Capital</th><td><p>28.64%</p></td><td><p>4.30%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>With this underperformance, should long-term investors ignore Tesla? The answer depends on one's holding power and the ability to stay calm amid the volatility that TSLA stock has been known for. According to Wall Street analysts, Tesla's 2020's earnings per share [EPS] of $2.24 was just a small fraction of what the EV-maker could deliver in the next ten years.</p><p>By 2030, Tesla, Inc. is projected to mint $34.48 in EPS on a consensus basis, giving it a forward P/E ratio of 19.5 times. This will be a dramatic reduction from the current P/E ratio of over 300 times. Quarter-on-quarter, however, the picture might not be as clear as production hiccups from possible mishaps, shortage of components such as semiconductor chips, ramp-up challenges, etc. could obfuscate its true potential and make investors lose track of its long-term story.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/adb752e67473741117767ed857451476\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha Premium</span></p><p>Of course, if you are looking for dividends, TSLA is one stock you can forget about investing in. On the contrary, AAPL offers dividend investors a fairly consistent dividend and an excellent \"dividend safety\", even if the dividend growth is barely a passing grade and the dividend yield is a disappointing D+ grade. A conservative investor wouldn't complain about Apple's dividend.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e20422c2e173566aff6486316a750ef\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>How might Apple's introduction of an electric car affect Tesla?</b></p><p>There are more similarities between Apple and Tesla than the duo being in the electric car business three-to-five years down the road. Both American firms are already entrenched in China for the manufacturing of products as well as an important market. That makes the two companies subjected to thegeopolitical tensions brewing intenselybetween the U.S. and China.</p><p>Perhaps cognizant of the risk of over-reliance on China, Apple's rumored partners were Koreans. Hyundai Motor (OTC:HYMLF)(OTCPK:HYMTF)(OTCPK:HYMPY) and its subsidiary Kia Motors (OTCPK:KIMTF) were first touted asprime candidates. Subsequently, Apple wasreportedto be on the verge of signing an agreement with a joint venture of South Korea's LG and Magna, a Canadian auto supplier.</p><p>If true, one of Apple's strengths over Tesla in the EV business would be its avoidance of China as a manufacturing base. I have argued previously that Tesla woulddouble down on producing cars in Chinafollowing its favorable Shanghai experience.</p><p>On the mechanics of EVs as a product, however, Tesla is expected to maintain its clear lead. Tesla has produced its cars in-house for more than a decade and accumulated a wealth of manufacturing techniques and experience along the way. Although critics charged that its profitability was largely derived from the sale of high-margin regulatory credits, the richness of data collected without charge from drivers who<i>paid</i>for the privilege to own Tesla cars is often brushed off.</p><p>It is this Big Data pool Tesla possesses that enables it to accelerate its autonomous ride-hailing ambitions. On the other hand, even though there are many more Apple users than owners of Tesla cars, Apple's self-driving project only has its own trials to guide its development. This hampers the progress of a rollout of ride-hailing services and diminishes its threat to Tesla.</p><p>Nevertheless, Apple can bank on its ecosystem where different products and accessories connect in a seamless fashion. On the other hand, however pleasant a driving experience it is for Tesla car owners, its in-car offerings are limited and mostly outsourced.</p><p><b>Apple vs Tesla stock: final thoughts</b></p><p>Both Apple and Tesla stocks are well covered by analysts. The consensus Wall Street rating is \"bullish\" for Apple and \"neutral\" for Tesla. What's telling is that AAPL has an upside of around 23.5 percent to its price target. In contrast, TSLA has a paltry upside of only 2.6 percent at the moment.</p><p>As presented in this article, Apple's valuation multiples are well deserved given the good profitability it enjoys. Nevertheless, I wish to reiterate that Apple stock seems good as a value buy based only on the comparison to Tesla. AAPL, as illustrated earlier, is trading at higher valuation metrics than in the past.</p><p>As the company releases some highly anticipated progress in its Apple Car project, investors could become excited and accord it with EV-like multiples. Meanwhile, its existing offerings continue to keep users within its ecosystem.</p><p>In contrast, Tesla's valuation is rather rich, especially so if the so-called rotation trade is indeed in full swing. Yet, its earnings potential over the next 10 years seems to suggest TSLA is in the early innings, provided it can overcome the gradual loss of its EV credit buyers, as we have realized from theannouncementof Stellantis (STLA) this week. Thus, it is hard to pick a winner here but readers can decide based on their risk profile and invest accordingly.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","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>Apple Vs.

Quarter-on-quarter, however, the picture might not be as clear as production hiccups from possible mishaps, shortage of components such as semiconductor chips, ramp-up challenges, etc. could obfuscate its true potential and make investors lose track of its long-term story.Source: Seeking Alpha PremiumOf course, if you are looking for dividends, TSLA is one stock you can forget about investing in. On the contrary, AAPL offers dividend investors a fairly consistent dividend and an excellent \"dividend safety\", even if the dividend growth is barely a passing grade and the dividend yield is a disappointing D+ grade. A conservative investor wouldn't complain about Apple's dividend.How might Apple's introduction of an electric car affect Tesla?There are more similarities between Apple and Tesla than the duo being in the electric car business three-to-five years down the road. Both American firms are already entrenched in China for the manufacturing of products as well as an important market. That makes the two companies subjected to thegeopolitical tensions brewing intenselybetween the U.S. and China.Perhaps cognizant of the risk of over-reliance on China, Apple's rumored partners were Koreans. Hyundai Motor (OTC:HYMLF)(OTCPK:HYMTF)(OTCPK:HYMPY) and its subsidiary Kia Motors (OTCPK:KIMTF) were first touted asprime candidates. Subsequently, Apple wasreportedto be on the verge of signing an agreement with a joint venture of South Korea's LG and Magna, a Canadian auto supplier.If true, one of Apple's strengths over Tesla in the EV business would be its avoidance of China as a manufacturing base. I have argued previously that Tesla woulddouble down on producing cars in Chinafollowing its favorable Shanghai experience.On the mechanics of EVs as a product, however, Tesla is expected to maintain its clear lead. Tesla has produced its cars in-house for more than a decade and accumulated a wealth of manufacturing techniques and experience along the way. Although critics charged that its profitability was largely derived from the sale of high-margin regulatory credits, the richness of data collected without charge from drivers whopaidfor the privilege to own Tesla cars is often brushed off.It is this Big Data pool Tesla possesses that enables it to accelerate its autonomous ride-hailing ambitions. On the other hand, even though there are many more Apple users than owners of Tesla cars, Apple's self-driving project only has its own trials to guide its development. This hampers the progress of a rollout of ride-hailing services and diminishes its threat to Tesla.Nevertheless, Apple can bank on its ecosystem where different products and accessories connect in a seamless fashion. On the other hand, however pleasant a driving experience it is for Tesla car owners, its in-car offerings are limited and mostly outsourced.Apple vs Tesla stock: final thoughtsBoth Apple and Tesla stocks are well covered by analysts. The consensus Wall Street rating is \"bullish\" for Apple and \"neutral\" for Tesla. What's telling is that AAPL has an upside of around 23.5 percent to its price target. In contrast, TSLA has a paltry upside of only 2.6 percent at the moment.As presented in this article, Apple's valuation multiples are well deserved given the good profitability it enjoys. Nevertheless, I wish to reiterate that Apple stock seems good as a value buy based only on the comparison to Tesla. AAPL, as illustrated earlier, is trading at higher valuation metrics than in the past.As the company releases some highly anticipated progress in its Apple Car project, investors could become excited and accord it with EV-like multiples. Meanwhile, its existing offerings continue to keep users within its ecosystem.In contrast, Tesla's valuation is rather rich, especially so if the so-called rotation trade is indeed in full swing. Yet, its earnings potential over the next 10 years seems to suggest TSLA is in the early innings, provided it can overcome the gradual loss of its EV credit buyers, as we have realized from theannouncementof Stellantis (STLA) this week. Thus, it is hard to pick a winner here but readers can decide based on their risk profile and invest accordingly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":133,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179235971,"gmtCreate":1626531331793,"gmtModify":1631890800988,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/179235971","repostId":"1198202103","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198202103","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626481985,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1198202103?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-17 08:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow drops nearly 300 points on Friday, snaps 3-week winning streak","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198202103","media":"CNBC","summary":"U.S. stocks fell on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrials Average into the red for the week, as ","content":"<div>\n<p>U.S. stocks fell on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrials Average into the red for the week, as inflation fears overshadowed strong retail sales numbers and better-than-expected earnings reports.\n...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/15/stock-market-open-to-close-news.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The S&P 500 dipped 0.75% to 4,327.16 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.8% to 14,427.24.\nThe three averages closed the week lower to each snap 3-week win streaks. The Dow ended the week down 0.52%, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.97% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.87% during the same period.\n\nA U.S.consumer sentimentindex from the University of Michigan came in at 80.8 for the first half of July, down from 85.5 last month and worse than estimates from economists, who projected an increase. The report released Friday showed inflation expectations rising, with consumers believing prices will increase 4.8% in the next year, the highest level since August 2008.\nThe Dow gave up its gains early Friday shortly after the University of Michigan report came out 30 minutes into the session. Losses increased as the day went on with major averages closing at the lows of the session.\nThe consumer sentiment weakness “is at face value hard to square with the acceleration in employment growth and the continued resilience of the stock market,” said Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, but the report “suggested that concerns over surging inflation are now outweighing those positive trends.”\nInflation fears\nThe market was held back all week by inflation fears although the S&P 500 and Dow did touch new all-time highs briefly. On Tuesday, theconsumer price indexshowed a 5.4% increase in June from a year ago, the fastest pace in nearly 13 years.\nStocks got off to a good start Friday with the Dow rising more than 100 points to above 35,000 shortly after the open.Data released before the bell showed retail and food service salesrose 0.6% in June, while economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected a 0.4% decline. If that level held, it would have been the Dow’s first close ever above 35,000.\nDespite the week’s losses, the Dow is still up 13% for the year and sits just 1.15% from an all-time high. The S&P 500 is up 15% on the year and is 1.51% below its record level.\n“The market looks broadly fairly valued to me, with most stocks priced to provide a market rate of return plus or minus a few percent,” Bill Miller, chairman and chief investment officer of Miller Value Partners,said in an investor letter.\n“There are pockets of what look like appreciable over-valuation and pockets of significant undervaluation in the US market, in my opinion. We can find plenty of names to fill our portfolios and so remain fully invested,” the value investor added.\nEnergy correction\nEnergy stocks, the hottest part of the market in 2021, fell into correction territory on Friday as oil prices pulled back from their highs.\nThe Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund fell more than 2% on Friday, the worst of any group, dropping 14% from its high. Still, the sector is up about 28% in 2021, making it the top performer of any of the 11 main industry groups.\nWeaker performance from technology stocks also weighed on the market Friday. Shares of Apple closed 1.4% lower afternotching a record closejust two days prior. Netflix shares fell ahead of the streaming giant’s second-quarter earnings report next week.\nInvestors digested strong earnings results from the first major week of second-quarter reports. Though some of the nation’s largest companies posted healthy earnings and revenues amid the economic recovery, the reaction in the stock market has so far been muted.\nThe Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ended the week 1.5% lower despite big profit growth numbers posted by the likes of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.\n“Good earnings might have become an excuse for some investors to take profit. And with earnings expectations so high in general, it takes a really big beat for a company to impress,” JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade chief market strategist, said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182662544,"gmtCreate":1623569922488,"gmtModify":1634031538496,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/182662544","repostId":"1189143522","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189143522","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623513679,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1189143522?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-13 00:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Snowflake Is a Growth Juggernaut.

Weiss repeats his Equal Weigh rating and $270 price target.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":69,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":116342382,"gmtCreate":1622777055246,"gmtModify":1634098104458,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh&nbsp;","listText":"Oh&nbsp;","text":"Oh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/116342382","repostId":"1194001604","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194001604","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622773637,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1194001604?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-04 10:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto-Crash Aftershocks Hit Traders With 50% Premiums Vanishing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194001604","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Bitcoin derivatives market signals caution across the board\nMarket excesses ease after last month’s ","content":"<ul>\n <li>Bitcoin derivatives market signals caution across the board</li>\n <li>Market excesses ease after last month’s $500 billion wipeout</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Speculative investors may have been pushing meme stocks “to the moon” earlier this week, but their crypto counterparts have been coming back down to Earth en masse.</p>\n<p>Hedging activity is on the rise and bullish bets are finding limited demand -- even with Bitcoin still almost 40% below its peak.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.</p>\n<p>\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"</p>\n<p>Let's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2da7d6438277757a73f9e626ebc6fc2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p>\n<p>Considering that Buffett already has a huge position in <b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b>, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.</p>\n<h2>3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again</h2>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in <b>PNC Financial Services Group</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>, in the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year.

At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.\n\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"\nLet's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo\nEveryone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.\nThis essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at one point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.\nBut as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.\nThe stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.\n2. Dumping Synchrony Financial\nLast quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.\nWhile I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, Bank of America.\nConsidering that Buffett already has a huge position in American Express, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.\n3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again\nBerkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in PNC Financial Services Group and M&T Bank, in the fourth quarter of 2020. \nOne possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. \nOverall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":26,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":105978529,"gmtCreate":1620266806861,"gmtModify":1631886433611,"author":{"id":"3579096500575753","authorId":"3579096500575753","name":"Milankaka","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/288ce834db4366c3536976047323d1ce","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579096500575753","authorIdStr":"3579096500575753"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"PayPal will be BIG","listText":"PayPal will be BIG","text":"PayPal will be BIG","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/105978529","repostId":"1190727792","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190727792","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1620261268,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1190727792?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-06 08:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PayPal CEO touts ‘next generation digital wallet’ after earnings beat","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190727792","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"PayPal shares rose as much as 5.5% in extended trading on Wednesday after reporting first-quarter ea","content":"<p>PayPal&nbsp;shares rose as much as 5.5% in extended trading on Wednesday after reporting&nbsp;first-quarter earnings&nbsp;that were stronger than analysts had expected.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58ec3528147a01fb437277e9297f867e\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"833\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Here’s how the company did:</p><ul><li><b>Earnings per share:</b>$1.22, adjusted, vs. $1.01 per share expected in a Refinitiv survey of analysts</li><li><b>Revenue:</b>$6.03 billion vs. $5.90 billion expected by Refinitiv</li><li><b>Total payment volume:</b>$285 billion vs. $265 billionexpected in a FactSet survey</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/280fd499646b944018a299f06e8a7149\" tg-width=\"838\" tg-height=\"638\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">PayPal&nbsp;shares rose as much as 5.5% in extended trading on Wednesday after reporting&nbsp;first-quarter earnings&nbsp;that were stronger than analysts had expected.First quarter net profit rose to $1.10 billion from $84 million a year earlier, and the company added 14.5 million net new active accounts, bringing its total user base to 392 million.</p><p>Revenue grew 31% year over year in the quarter that ended Mar. 31, according to a statement.

Cloud/cybersecurity is one sector with a particularly bright outlook as IT spend on this remains quite low, and is expected to increase over the next couple of years in the face of constantly rising threats. CrowdStrike (CRWD) is positioned very well to gain share and continue its strong growth trajectory, and the recent underperformance brings a potentially attractive entry point, although valuation remains a key part to watch.</p>\n<p><b>Rising Cloud and Cybersecurity Spend</b></p>\n<p>Increasing cloud and cybersecurity spend across the board will serve as a large tailwind for the sector and inevitably CrowdStrike, as it continues to advance its product offerings and subscription base. Cloud and cybersecurity are both fairly fragmented sectors, leaving rooms for leading companies like CrowdStrike to gain and secure market share through maintained subscriptions.</p>\n<p>Cloud and cybersecurity spend are expected to increase significantly over the course of the next few years, on the back of factors such as increasing number of cyber attacks, increased reliance on cloud-based services and applications, growing demand for managed security services, data privacy concerns and government compliance.</p>\n<p>Internally, CrowdStrike sees the cloud security opportunity expanding significantly, projected to be about $12.4 billion on 5.7% of IT budget spend; this opportunity would represent tenfold growth from 2020's actual $1.2 billion cloud security spend. With the possibility of more data breaches alongside the aforementioned factors, increased IT spend to ~7.5% would represent an opportunity of $16.3 billion.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/143bdb685bc34bca9d6a2dd53fa6a356\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"285\"><span>Graphic from CrowdStrike</span></p>\n<p>Longer-term external forecasts point to a slight uptick in the growth of cloud spending, while cybersecurity spend as a whole will increase quite significantly but at a slightly lower rate.</p>\n<p>VM Intelligence&nbsp;projects the cloud security market to reach $37.7 billion by 2027, a 25.9% CAGR from 2019's $6.7 billion figure. Again, a rise in security threats and a tailwind stemming from a shift to cloud technology/infrastructure will boost the market, with companies needing solutions to provide data protection and privacy and ensure regulatory compliance. With a large majority of companies running some sort of cloud-based software, demand for cloud security solutions are rising.</p>\n<p>Global&nbsp;cybersecurity spend&nbsp;has a strong projected runway as well, rising at a ~12% CAGR from an estimated $165.8 billion in 2021 to $366.1 billion in 2028 (cloud security has one of the highest CAGRs of the cybersecurity sub-segments). North America is expected to dominate the industry's growth, while Asia Pacific is expected to grow the quickest with more government investment in this and auxiliary industries.</p>\n<p>Solid growth in North America and rapid growth in Asia-Pacific further support continuance of high double-digit growth in revenues for CrowdStrike as it increases international presence.</p>\n<p><b>Robust Financials</b></p>\n<p>CrowdStrike's financial performance during the shift to remote and cloud work shone, with the company (for the most part) exceeding a&nbsp;projection for the fiscal year&nbsp;from just before the Q2 report. Highlighted from that projection had CrowdStrike netting $950 million to $1.0 billion in ARR, 10,000 customers, Q4 gross margin at 78%, and an FY net margin at (9.5%) on $850 million revenue/$629 million gross profit.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91c1c7926fb836825a4aaec30396fc2f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"253\"><span>Graphic from SA</span></p>\n<p>As seen above, CrowdStrike's ARR topped $1 billion, as Q4's record net new ARR of $143 million pushed the figure higher. While customers fell shy of the 10,000 mark, customer base in Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies expanded. CFO Burt Podbere noted that the company posted \"record&nbsp;subscription gross margin&nbsp;at the high end of our target model and record operating and free cash flow.\" Sequential improvement in margins - at 80% subscription and 77% gross for Q4, 79% and 76% for the year - on top of strong revenue growth has provided operating leverage, which will aid the shift to profitability.</p>\n<p><b>Strong Growth Outlook</b></p>\n<p>With the strong Q4/FY report, CrowdStrike increased guidance for Q1 by ~7.5% to ~$290 million and FY22 revenues by a similar percentage to ~$1.32 billion. However, CrowdStrike has the potential to beat those forecasts to $1.35-1.36 billion for the current year, as well as leading to an increased long-term forecast.</p>\n<p>CrowdStrike has proved that it can acquire new customers easily and efficiently, setting it up for blazing revenue growth in the upcoming years. An original forecast for $1.5 billion in FY23 and $2.5 billion in FY25 revenues now seem to undershoot the company's potential. The combination of more records in net new ARR on top of incremental growth in existing ARR from previous customers sets revenues up for approximately 38% growth through 2025, suggesting FY23 revenues at $1.85 billion rising to $3.2 billion by FY25, far ahead of the prior projection.</p>\n<p>Some of the factors that help cement this projection are retention rates and expanded product offerings across different business sizes. CrowdStrike boasts a high gross retention at 98% for the past two fiscal years; the company's dollar retention has remained above 120% for the past three fiscal years as customers continue to add subscriptions. This is visible within the rising amount of customers on multiple subscriptions, seen below. Customers on 4 or more subscriptions have risen from 30% to 63% in just three years, testifying to the value proposition from top-of-the-line features.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7c4d023f856d53085d1dc63e5ba7f6b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\"><span>Graphic from SA</span></p>\n<p>While CrowdStrike does have over half of the Fortune 100 list as customers, the company's products aren't solely for the megacaps. Falcon's ease-of-use, scalability, high efficacy and relative low cost have made it a top choice for even smaller businesses looking to implement industrial level security. While there is a high costliness of installing and updating cloud security services which could prevent MSMEs transitioning to the cloud from adopting broad cloud security protection, the Falcon offers an&nbsp;ROI&nbsp;of 300-400% with a payback period of less than 3 months on average, making it a great choice for smaller enterprises.</p>\n<p>CrowdStrike and other peer leader Zscaler (ZS) recently announced the expansion of their&nbsp;partnership, providing an identity and data-centric zero trust approach. Zscaler will be leveraging CrowdStrike's Zero Trust Assessment [ZTA] to integrate real-time security with Zscaler Private Access [ZPA]. The expansion provides a range of benefits and enhanced value for joint customers, which should serve to cement retention of those customers' subscriptions to both CrowdStrike and Zscaler.</p>\n<p>International revenue&nbsp;generation and expansion also are a bright point for future growth, as Asia-Pacific notably has a strong CAGR forecast for the industry. CrowdStrike has locations in Japan, Australia and Singapore among others primarily in EMEA. International revenues have risen 98% y/y to $247 million, comprising 28% of total revenues for FY21, up from 23% in FY19; increased investment to expand international operations could see contribution of 33-35% of revenues by FY23.</p>\n<p>With the aforementioned revenue growth projections, CrowdStrike has the potential to witness significant operating and earnings leverage from FY22 to FY25, as operating expenses have practically fallen into the long-term targets per its operating model: S&amp;M 30-35% of revenues, R&amp;D 15-20% and G&amp;A 7-9%. Actuals for Q4 were 37%, 19% and 8%. This has the potential to drive and maintain operating margin in the mid-20% range as revenues grow, leading to low triple-digit EPS growth from $0.65 in FY23 to $2.80 by FY25.</p>\n<p><b>Risks to the Forecast</b></p>\n<p>Such a forecast isn't immune to risks, and there are quite a few to be aware of with CrowdStrike, stemming from its customer base, expansion and valuation.</p>\n<p>Even with the growth to CrowdStrike's customer base to just under 10,000 by the fiscal year, +82% y/y, a fair proportion of its business is reliant on a few key channel partners. While it is a decreasing percentage for channel partners A/B (likely that the two have the same dollar amount y/y offset by additional new customers), loss of business of any of the customers/channel partners could impact revenues and balance sheet strength, thus significantly impacting forward revenue projections and valuation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a9e423abddd79b6414ea99b31de8ae07\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"334\"><span>Graphic from 10-K</span></p>\n<p>One other customer-centric risk could arise within upselling, or getting customers to add more subscriptions. CrowdStrike currently has both synergies of ARR growth from new customer additions and customers upgrading to more subscriptions, but if/when a majority of the customers are paying for 4 to 6 subscriptions, additional revenue growth is likely to be more reliant on customer acquisition.

Cloud/cybersecurity is one sector with a particularly bright outlook as IT spend on this remains quite low, and is expected to increase over the next couple of years in the face of constantly rising threats. CrowdStrike (CRWD) is positioned very well to gain share and continue its strong growth trajectory, and the recent underperformance brings a potentially attractive entry point, although valuation remains a key part to watch.\nRising Cloud and Cybersecurity Spend\nIncreasing cloud and cybersecurity spend across the board will serve as a large tailwind for the sector and inevitably CrowdStrike, as it continues to advance its product offerings and subscription base. Cloud and cybersecurity are both fairly fragmented sectors, leaving rooms for leading companies like CrowdStrike to gain and secure market share through maintained subscriptions.\nCloud and cybersecurity spend are expected to increase significantly over the course of the next few years, on the back of factors such as increasing number of cyber attacks, increased reliance on cloud-based services and applications, growing demand for managed security services, data privacy concerns and government compliance.\nInternally, CrowdStrike sees the cloud security opportunity expanding significantly, projected to be about $12.4 billion on 5.7% of IT budget spend; this opportunity would represent tenfold growth from 2020's actual $1.2 billion cloud security spend. With the possibility of more data breaches alongside the aforementioned factors, increased IT spend to ~7.5% would represent an opportunity of $16.3 billion.\nGraphic from CrowdStrike\nLonger-term external forecasts point to a slight uptick in the growth of cloud spending, while cybersecurity spend as a whole will increase quite significantly but at a slightly lower rate.\nVM Intelligence projects the cloud security market to reach $37.7 billion by 2027, a 25.9% CAGR from 2019's $6.7 billion figure. Again, a rise in security threats and a tailwind stemming from a shift to cloud technology/infrastructure will boost the market, with companies needing solutions to provide data protection and privacy and ensure regulatory compliance. With a large majority of companies running some sort of cloud-based software, demand for cloud security solutions are rising.\nGlobal cybersecurity spend has a strong projected runway as well, rising at a ~12% CAGR from an estimated $165.8 billion in 2021 to $366.1 billion in 2028 (cloud security has one of the highest CAGRs of the cybersecurity sub-segments). North America is expected to dominate the industry's growth, while Asia Pacific is expected to grow the quickest with more government investment in this and auxiliary industries.\nSolid growth in North America and rapid growth in Asia-Pacific further support continuance of high double-digit growth in revenues for CrowdStrike as it increases international presence.\nRobust Financials\nCrowdStrike's financial performance during the shift to remote and cloud work shone, with the company (for the most part) exceeding a projection for the fiscal year from just before the Q2 report. Highlighted from that projection had CrowdStrike netting $950 million to $1.0 billion in ARR, 10,000 customers, Q4 gross margin at 78%, and an FY net margin at (9.5%) on $850 million revenue/$629 million gross profit.\nGraphic from SA\nAs seen above, CrowdStrike's ARR topped $1 billion, as Q4's record net new ARR of $143 million pushed the figure higher. While customers fell shy of the 10,000 mark, customer base in Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies expanded. CFO Burt Podbere noted that the company posted \"record subscription gross margin at the high end of our target model and record operating and free cash flow.\" Sequential improvement in margins - at 80% subscription and 77% gross for Q4, 79% and 76% for the year - on top of strong revenue growth has provided operating leverage, which will aid the shift to profitability.\nStrong Growth Outlook\nWith the strong Q4/FY report, CrowdStrike increased guidance for Q1 by ~7.5% to ~$290 million and FY22 revenues by a similar percentage to ~$1.32 billion. However, CrowdStrike has the potential to beat those forecasts to $1.35-1.36 billion for the current year, as well as leading to an increased long-term forecast.\nCrowdStrike has proved that it can acquire new customers easily and efficiently, setting it up for blazing revenue growth in the upcoming years. An original forecast for $1.5 billion in FY23 and $2.5 billion in FY25 revenues now seem to undershoot the company's potential. The combination of more records in net new ARR on top of incremental growth in existing ARR from previous customers sets revenues up for approximately 38% growth through 2025, suggesting FY23 revenues at $1.85 billion rising to $3.2 billion by FY25, far ahead of the prior projection.\nSome of the factors that help cement this projection are retention rates and expanded product offerings across different business sizes. CrowdStrike boasts a high gross retention at 98% for the past two fiscal years; the company's dollar retention has remained above 120% for the past three fiscal years as customers continue to add subscriptions. This is visible within the rising amount of customers on multiple subscriptions, seen below. Customers on 4 or more subscriptions have risen from 30% to 63% in just three years, testifying to the value proposition from top-of-the-line features.\nGraphic from SA\nWhile CrowdStrike does have over half of the Fortune 100 list as customers, the company's products aren't solely for the megacaps. Falcon's ease-of-use, scalability, high efficacy and relative low cost have made it a top choice for even smaller businesses looking to implement industrial level security. While there is a high costliness of installing and updating cloud security services which could prevent MSMEs transitioning to the cloud from adopting broad cloud security protection, the Falcon offers an ROI of 300-400% with a payback period of less than 3 months on average, making it a great choice for smaller enterprises.\nCrowdStrike and other peer leader Zscaler (ZS) recently announced the expansion of their partnership, providing an identity and data-centric zero trust approach. Zscaler will be leveraging CrowdStrike's Zero Trust Assessment [ZTA] to integrate real-time security with Zscaler Private Access [ZPA]. The expansion provides a range of benefits and enhanced value for joint customers, which should serve to cement retention of those customers' subscriptions to both CrowdStrike and Zscaler.\nInternational revenue generation and expansion also are a bright point for future growth, as Asia-Pacific notably has a strong CAGR forecast for the industry. CrowdStrike has locations in Japan, Australia and Singapore among others primarily in EMEA. International revenues have risen 98% y/y to $247 million, comprising 28% of total revenues for FY21, up from 23% in FY19; increased investment to expand international operations could see contribution of 33-35% of revenues by FY23.\nWith the aforementioned revenue growth projections, CrowdStrike has the potential to witness significant operating and earnings leverage from FY22 to FY25, as operating expenses have practically fallen into the long-term targets per its operating model: S&M 30-35% of revenues, R&D 15-20% and G&A 7-9%. Actuals for Q4 were 37%, 19% and 8%. This has the potential to drive and maintain operating margin in the mid-20% range as revenues grow, leading to low triple-digit EPS growth from $0.65 in FY23 to $2.80 by FY25.\nRisks to the Forecast\nSuch a forecast isn't immune to risks, and there are quite a few to be aware of with CrowdStrike, stemming from its customer base, expansion and valuation.\nEven with the growth to CrowdStrike's customer base to just under 10,000 by the fiscal year, +82% y/y, a fair proportion of its business is reliant on a few key channel partners. While it is a decreasing percentage for channel partners A/B (likely that the two have the same dollar amount y/y offset by additional new customers), loss of business of any of the customers/channel partners could impact revenues and balance sheet strength, thus significantly impacting forward revenue projections and valuation.\nGraphic from 10-K\nOne other customer-centric risk could arise within upselling, or getting customers to add more subscriptions.

If customer growth inevitably slows, whether that be in three, five or seven years, CrowdStrike will likely need to have a significant portion (>70%) on >4 subscriptions to ensure constant growth in revenues at a fair, 15-20% rate.\nExpansion, primarily internationally, exposes CrowdStrike to some key risks that could impact bottom line growth. This could stem from \"higher costs of doing business internationally... double taxation of our international earnings and potentially adverse tax consequences... increased travel, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs\" as well as compliance and regulatory issues. Should extra costs arise from international segment growth to ~$750 million in revenues by 2025, overall profitability could take a 15-20% dent, with EPS dropping to $2.35 from $2.80.\nValuation compared to CrowdStrike's main peer basket of Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Fortinet (FTNT), Cloudflare (NET), VMware (VMW) and Zscaler is mixed, with some high multiples attached to both CrowdStrike and Zscaler. VMWare and Palo Alto, more established and profitable, boast the highest margins and the most attractive valuations, yet forward revenue growth rates are some of the lowest, at about 9% and 19%.\nData by YCharts\nCrowdStrike, Zscaler and Cloudflare have the fastest revenue growth rates over the next few years, and as expected, trade at significant premiums to the basket, all above 40x TTM sales and 30-35x forward sales. Forward EV/EBITDA ratios for the three are all >250x, suggesting that the three could be pricing in a few years' growth already.\nThis is one major risk to CrowdStrike at the moment - as the company continues to scale and grow revenues at a rapid pace, it will face multiple contraction, similar to Palo Alto, whose 19x PS ratio in 2015 (at $1 billion revenues and approx. +54% y/y growth) contracted to 7x by 2020, leaving shares gaining barely 30% after that peak to pre-pandemic levels. As CrowdStrike comes to maturity in revenues and declining y/y growth rates, multiple contraction could be the largest factor in preventing shares from moving higher.\nOverall\nThe cloud-native Falcon platform and its ease of use in remote environments, scalability and robust value proposition combined with the range of modules offered allude to CrowdStrike solidifying its position at the top of the pack within its peers in the long run.

Buffett isn't infallible, but he's delivered an annual average return of 20% since the mid-1960s for his shareholders. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of more than 2,800,000%!</p>\n<p>What's even more amazing is that Buffett hasn't done anything the average investors couldn't do to net these huge gains. He focuses on a few sectors and industries that interest him, buys companies with clear-cut competitive advantages, and most importantly hangs onto those stakes for a very long time.</p>\n<p>Another source of Buffett's success is concentration. The Oracle of Omaha doesn't believe diversification is necessary if you know what you're doing. This is readily apparent in Berkshire Hathaway's $302.6 billion investment portfolio. As of this past weekend, 85% of Berkshire's invested assets ($257.3 billion) were tied up in only 10 stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/601f21f3cc2f9e5524bd5d613063faa2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Apple: $115.6 billion</h2>\n<p>Tech kingpin <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) makes up about 38% of Warren Buffett's portfolio by itself and has been dubbed \"Berkshire's third business\" by the Oracle of Omaha. Apple offers some of the strongest branding in the world, is the clear leader in smartphones in the U.S., and has been pivoting to higher-margin services under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. Though iPhone sales remain Apple's top product, services becoming a larger percentage of total sales will help remove the revenue lumpiness associated with new product launches.</p>\n<h2>2. Bank of America: $43.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Bank stocks have long been Buffett's favorite place to put Berkshire's money work. <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) is Berkshire's unquestioned largest bank holding, with more than 14% of invested assets. Bank of America has done an excellent job of controlling its noninterest expenses by consolidating branches and emphasizing digital banking. It's also in line to benefit more than any other money-center bank from an eventual rise in interest rates.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed3e6a16841306014bf0cfc3b1697b23\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a>.</span></p>\n<h2>3. American Express: $24.9 billion</h2>\n<p>Payment processor and lender <b>American Express</b> (NYSE:AXP) is Buffett's third-largest and third-longest-held stock. After 28 years of holding AmEx, Berkshire Hathaway's position has grown to almost $25 billion in value. This is a cyclical company that benefits from long periods of economic expansion, as well as its ability to attract affluent clientele. These well-to-do clients are less likely to change their spending habits when economic hiccups arise, which often means less worry about credit delinquencies for AmEx.</p>\n<h2>4. Coca-Cola: $22.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Speaking of long-tenured holdings, beverage behemoth <b>Coca-Cola</b> (NYSE:KO) is the longest-held stock in Buffett's portfolio (33 years). Coca-Cola operates in all but two countries worldwide (North Korea and Cuba) and has more than 20 brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Thanks to its top-notch marketing team, it's also the best-known consumer goods brand. Coke has holiday tie-ins, has allied itself with well-known brand ambassadors, and is embracing digital advertising and social media as a way to get its message to a younger generation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc21d6aabfd53f63ded95ae16cbd64e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"468\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>5. Kraft Heinz: $14.1 billion</h2>\n<p>There's little question that <b>Kraft Heinz</b> (NASDAQ:KHC) is the oddball holding in Buffett's top 10. That's because Buffett admits to Heinz overpaying for Kraft Foods, and the combined company largely underperforming in recent years. This includes a greater than $15 billion goodwill writedown in 2019. While the pandemic has helped boost demand for packaged foods, Kraft Heinz's balance sheet is still bogged down by high debt levels and goodwill. In short, Berkshire Hathaway is sort of stuck with its 325.6 million shares.</p>\n<h2>6. Verizon Communications: $9.1 billion</h2>\n<p>Telecommunications giant <b>Verizon</b> (NYSE:VZ) is a fairly recent addition to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, although it's been bought hand over fist in the previous two quarters by Buffett and his team. The lure of Verizon is likely its 4.4% dividend yield, which is arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the safest high-yield payouts on the planet. What's more, Verizon should benefit immensely from the rollout of 5G infrastructure. It's been a decade since the last major upgrade to download speeds, which suggests that a multiyear tech upgrade cycle will lead to higher-margin data consumption.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7343c3ce7330b86321a8ec9384d4baea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>7. U.S. Bancorp: $8.7 billion</h2>\n<p>Next to BofA, <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is Buffett's favorite bank stock. It's a company that regularly trades at a premium to its book value -- and for good reason. U.S. Bancorp has seen its users embrace technology, with the percentage of consumer loans completed digitally skyrocketing over the past two years. Being able to consolidate its physical branches, while also avoiding riskier derivative investments that have gotten U.S. money-center banks in trouble, has helped U.S. Bancorp to some of the highest return on assets among big banks.</p>\n<h2>8. Moody's: $8.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Credit agency and analytics company <b>Moody's</b> (NYSE:MCO) is yet another top-10 holding that's been held for longer than two decades. With an initial cost basis of just over $10, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an unrealized gain of better than 3,300% -- and this isn't accounting for dividends. Historically low lending rates have kept Moody's credit rating segment busy, while volatile trading markets are boosting demand for Moody's analytics. It's hard to envision Buffett ever selling this stake.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8abdae403dddfa42107e06ea5bfddf39\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>9. BYD: $6.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Back in 2008, Buffett acquired 225 million shares of China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer <b>BYD</b> (OTC:BYDDY)&nbsp;for $1.03 a share (it closed this past week at $27.65 a share). In March, BYD sold 16,301 EVs, which is more than higher-profile competitors <b>NIO</b>&nbsp;and <b>XPeng</b>&nbsp;delivered on a combined basis in the same month. With the Society of Automotive Engineers of China forecasting that half of all new vehicles sales in 2035 will be powered by alternative energy, BYD is in pole position to disrupt the largest auto market in the world.</p>\n<h2>10. DaVita: $4.4 billion</h2>\n<p>Rounding out the top 10 is kidney dialysis services company <b>DaVita</b> (NYSE:DVA). Buffett's fascination with the company is likely a numbers play. Over time, an aging U.S. population is going to become more reliant on kidney dialysis services for maintenance purposes. As the clear leader in providing these services, DaVita should see a steady uptick in demand and reimbursement for its services. This patient long-term thesis perfectly embodies the Buffett investing ethos.</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>These 10 Stocks Make Up 85% of Warren Buffett's Portfolio</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\">\nThese 10 Stocks Make Up 85% of Warren Buffett's Portfolio\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-17 09:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/16/10-stocks-make-up-85-of-warren-buffetts-portfolio/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you've ever wondered why Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett's name gets brought up so much on Wall Street, it's because of his impressive investing track record.

Buffett isn't infallible, but he's delivered an annual average return of 20% since the mid-1960s for his shareholders. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of more than 2,800,000%!\nWhat's even more amazing is that Buffett hasn't done anything the average investors couldn't do to net these huge gains. He focuses on a few sectors and industries that interest him, buys companies with clear-cut competitive advantages, and most importantly hangs onto those stakes for a very long time.\nAnother source of Buffett's success is concentration. The Oracle of Omaha doesn't believe diversification is necessary if you know what you're doing. This is readily apparent in Berkshire Hathaway's $302.6 billion investment portfolio. As of this past weekend, 85% of Berkshire's invested assets ($257.3 billion) were tied up in only 10 stocks.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\n1. Apple: $115.6 billion\nTech kingpin Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) makes up about 38% of Warren Buffett's portfolio by itself and has been dubbed \"Berkshire's third business\" by the Oracle of Omaha. Apple offers some of the strongest branding in the world, is the clear leader in smartphones in the U.S., and has been pivoting to higher-margin services under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. Though iPhone sales remain Apple's top product, services becoming a larger percentage of total sales will help remove the revenue lumpiness associated with new product launches.\n2. Bank of America: $43.2 billion\nBank stocks have long been Buffett's favorite place to put Berkshire's money work. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is Berkshire's unquestioned largest bank holding, with more than 14% of invested assets. Bank of America has done an excellent job of controlling its noninterest expenses by consolidating branches and emphasizing digital banking. It's also in line to benefit more than any other money-center bank from an eventual rise in interest rates.\nImage source: American Express.\n3. American Express: $24.9 billion\nPayment processor and lender American Express (NYSE:AXP) is Buffett's third-largest and third-longest-held stock. After 28 years of holding AmEx, Berkshire Hathaway's position has grown to almost $25 billion in value. This is a cyclical company that benefits from long periods of economic expansion, as well as its ability to attract affluent clientele. These well-to-do clients are less likely to change their spending habits when economic hiccups arise, which often means less worry about credit delinquencies for AmEx.\n4. Coca-Cola: $22.5 billion\nSpeaking of long-tenured holdings, beverage behemoth Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) is the longest-held stock in Buffett's portfolio (33 years). Coca-Cola operates in all but two countries worldwide (North Korea and Cuba) and has more than 20 brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Thanks to its top-notch marketing team, it's also the best-known consumer goods brand. Coke has holiday tie-ins, has allied itself with well-known brand ambassadors, and is embracing digital advertising and social media as a way to get its message to a younger generation.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n5. Kraft Heinz: $14.1 billion\nThere's little question that Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) is the oddball holding in Buffett's top 10. That's because Buffett admits to Heinz overpaying for Kraft Foods, and the combined company largely underperforming in recent years. This includes a greater than $15 billion goodwill writedown in 2019. While the pandemic has helped boost demand for packaged foods, Kraft Heinz's balance sheet is still bogged down by high debt levels and goodwill. In short, Berkshire Hathaway is sort of stuck with its 325.6 million shares.\n6. Verizon Communications: $9.1 billion\nTelecommunications giant Verizon (NYSE:VZ) is a fairly recent addition to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, although it's been bought hand over fist in the previous two quarters by Buffett and his team. The lure of Verizon is likely its 4.4% dividend yield, which is arguably one of the safest high-yield payouts on the planet. What's more, Verizon should benefit immensely from the rollout of 5G infrastructure. It's been a decade since the last major upgrade to download speeds, which suggests that a multiyear tech upgrade cycle will lead to higher-margin data consumption.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n7. U.S. Bancorp: $8.7 billion\nNext to BofA, U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) is Buffett's favorite bank stock. It's a company that regularly trades at a premium to its book value -- and for good reason. U.S. Bancorp has seen its users embrace technology, with the percentage of consumer loans completed digitally skyrocketing over the past two years. Being able to consolidate its physical branches, while also avoiding riskier derivative investments that have gotten U.S. money-center banks in trouble, has helped U.S. Bancorp to some of the highest return on assets among big banks.\n8. Moody's: $8.5 billion\nCredit agency and analytics company Moody's (NYSE:MCO) is yet another top-10 holding that's been held for longer than two decades. With an initial cost basis of just over $10, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an unrealized gain of better than 3,300% -- and this isn't accounting for dividends. Historically low lending rates have kept Moody's credit rating segment busy, while volatile trading markets are boosting demand for Moody's analytics. It's hard to envision Buffett ever selling this stake.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n9. BYD: $6.2 billion\nBack in 2008, Buffett acquired 225 million shares of China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD (OTC:BYDDY) for $1.03 a share (it closed this past week at $27.65 a share). In March, BYD sold 16,301 EVs, which is more than higher-profile competitors NIO and XPeng delivered on a combined basis in the same month. With the Society of Automotive Engineers of China forecasting that half of all new vehicles sales in 2035 will be powered by alternative energy, BYD is in pole position to disrupt the largest auto market in the world.\n10. DaVita: $4.4 billion\nRounding out the top 10 is kidney dialysis services company DaVita (NYSE:DVA). Buffett's fascination with the company is likely a numbers play. Over time, an aging U.S. population is going to become more reliant on kidney dialysis services for maintenance purposes. As the clear leader in providing these services, DaVita should see a steady uptick in demand and reimbursement for its services.
