The e-commerce platform initially went public in December at $20 per share before surging to an all-time high of $32 in February due to a momentum-driven rally. That said, shares have steadily plunged ever since, hitting an all-time low of just $7 in June, but are now recovering swiftly after increased interest from the retail trading sector. Here, the stock is favored due to its high volatility, short interest, and enormous upside potential.</p>\n<p>In this context, I believe that the high short interest has increasingly pushed shares below fair value and that patient investors could soon see $20 or more again as the company is working through logistic challenges and will soon return to economies of scale. In this regard, the e-commerce platform has a unique value proposition and is well-positioned to gain market share in a $6 trillion e-commerce industry.</p>\n<p><b>The Digital Dollar Tree</b></p>\n<p>Wish has been criticized heavily as an e-commerce platform, and I would almost argue that its image of being a third-party 'dropshipping' site for Chinese merchants has kept investors away from the stock so far. However, this may only be partially true. Essentially, Wish has inverted Amazon's(NASDAQ:AMZN)business model through low-priced (low-quality) products and sluggish delivery times that may lead to week-long delivery times. This is because Wish does not handle shipping itself, which is why it can offer these ultra-low prices of offering a hoodie for $2 plus $2 shipping.</p>\n<p>Frankly, Wish is still dependent on Chinese merchants, accounting for most of its product catalogs. This is unsurprising, considering that most goods are produced in China as the production costs are among the lowest in the world. Most of the goods being sold on Amazon or eBay(NASDAQ:EBAY)were also produced in China, although they earn a higher perception due to one-day delivery shipping programs or higher prices.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2bea733440e86851af57559c6a5fd6bd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Now, I view Wish as the digital dollar tree, where online shoppers discover items that they want, not need. In the process, customers have more patience for products and are willing to wait longer for them to arrive. Wish is working towards addressing both of these issues (quality and merchant diversification) as its platform is gaining popularity. Here, it has been investing in logistics to offer quicker delivery, demonstrated by a 275% YoY increase in logistics revenue. Since these revenues provide low margins, its overall gross margins have decreased in accordance. However, once it achieves economies of scale in the segment, margin growth should reverse and trail back towards 70%.</p>\n<p>It is also addressing the second issue by continuously growing its international merchant base. Here, U.S. merchants increased by over 400% YoY, and a similar trend is to be seen in other countries. Moreover, it is growing Wish Local, a service connecting local businesses to the platform, accounting for 7% of all Wish orders. Wish local is mostly (or exclusively) available in the United States and thus increasingly mixes with other products on the website.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09eb88453d075db6b7b8edd21f981b4a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\"><span>Source: Sensor Tower</span></p>\n<p>I also like Wish's strategy to engage and retain users by utilizing an AI matching system that optimizes platform growth, user experience, and merchant return on investment. The strategy to create an interactive mobile shopping experience appears to be working well: Impressively, Wish gets over500,000reviews per day from users, surpassing even Amazon and other shopping sites in this regard, demonstrating just about how engaging the platform is. Around 80% of first-time shoppersreturnto buy again.</p>\n<p>Wish is, therefore, able to establish itself in the highly competitive E-commerce market that offers a tremendous runway for growth. Currently, around 40% of the E-commerce market share is owned just by Amazon. Compared to Amazon, its TAM may be limited as it concentrates on its lower-income niche, which is how it became popular in the first place. Still, this represents a +$3 trillion market opportunity for Wish to tap into.

The e-commerce platform initially went public in December at $20 per share before surging to an all-time high of $32 in February due to a momentum-driven rally. That said, shares have steadily plunged ever since, hitting an all-time low of just $7 in June, but are now recovering swiftly after increased interest from the retail trading sector. Here, the stock is favored due to its high volatility, short interest, and enormous upside potential.\nIn this context, I believe that the high short interest has increasingly pushed shares below fair value and that patient investors could soon see $20 or more again as the company is working through logistic challenges and will soon return to economies of scale. In this regard, the e-commerce platform has a unique value proposition and is well-positioned to gain market share in a $6 trillion e-commerce industry.\nThe Digital Dollar Tree\nWish has been criticized heavily as an e-commerce platform, and I would almost argue that its image of being a third-party 'dropshipping' site for Chinese merchants has kept investors away from the stock so far. However, this may only be partially true. Essentially, Wish has inverted Amazon's(NASDAQ:AMZN)business model through low-priced (low-quality) products and sluggish delivery times that may lead to week-long delivery times. This is because Wish does not handle shipping itself, which is why it can offer these ultra-low prices of offering a hoodie for $2 plus $2 shipping.\nFrankly, Wish is still dependent on Chinese merchants, accounting for most of its product catalogs. This is unsurprising, considering that most goods are produced in China as the production costs are among the lowest in the world. Most of the goods being sold on Amazon or eBay(NASDAQ:EBAY)were also produced in China, although they earn a higher perception due to one-day delivery shipping programs or higher prices.\n\nNow, I view Wish as the digital dollar tree, where online shoppers discover items that they want, not need. In the process, customers have more patience for products and are willing to wait longer for them to arrive. Wish is working towards addressing both of these issues (quality and merchant diversification) as its platform is gaining popularity. Here, it has been investing in logistics to offer quicker delivery, demonstrated by a 275% YoY increase in logistics revenue. Since these revenues provide low margins, its overall gross margins have decreased in accordance. However, once it achieves economies of scale in the segment, margin growth should reverse and trail back towards 70%.\nIt is also addressing the second issue by continuously growing its international merchant base. Here, U.S. merchants increased by over 400% YoY, and a similar trend is to be seen in other countries. Moreover, it is growing Wish Local, a service connecting local businesses to the platform, accounting for 7% of all Wish orders. Wish local is mostly (or exclusively) available in the United States and thus increasingly mixes with other products on the website.\nSource: Sensor Tower\nI also like Wish's strategy to engage and retain users by utilizing an AI matching system that optimizes platform growth, user experience, and merchant return on investment. The strategy to create an interactive mobile shopping experience appears to be working well: Impressively, Wish gets over500,000reviews per day from users, surpassing even Amazon and other shopping sites in this regard, demonstrating just about how engaging the platform is. Around 80% of first-time shoppersreturnto buy again.\nWish is, therefore, able to establish itself in the highly competitive E-commerce market that offers a tremendous runway for growth. Currently, around 40% of the E-commerce market share is owned just by Amazon. Compared to Amazon, its TAM may be limited as it concentrates on its lower-income niche, which is how it became popular in the first place. Still, this represents a +$3 trillion market opportunity for Wish to tap into. It is also worth noting that according toreports, Amazon tried to acquire Wish for $10 billion, yet Wish rejected, believing growing the business to $100 billion in annual sales, at which point it would be valued significantly higher.\nNegative Sentiment Baked In\nWish's first two quarters have been slightly disappointing. While the company handily beat revenue estimates, the company burned through over $300 million in cash in order to invest in logistics. More importantly, however, is the fact that MAUs have dropped steadily, which the company blames on de-de-emphasizing advertising and customer acquisition as the company worked through logistics challenges it faced earlier in the year.\n\n\n\nYear\n2020\n2019\n2018\n\n\nRevenue\n$2.54B\n$1.9B\n$1.73B\n\n\nGross Profit\n$1.59B\n$1.46B\n$1.45B\n\n\nSales and Marketing\n$1.71B (+17%)\n$1.46B (-7%)\n$1.57B\n\n\nMAUs\n107M (+19%)\n90M (+10%)\n82M\n\n\nActive Buyers\n64M (+3%)\n62M (-3%)\n64M\n\n\n\n*Growth (Year-over-Year)\nThe largest bear argument against Wish is its high marketing expenses, which account for 60% of its total revenues and over 100% of its gross profits.

That's particularly true when it comes to the marijuana sector, where -- regrettably -- there's an abundance of bad options from which to choose.</p>\n<p>Thankfully, the cannabis industry is maturing, but there are already a few common traits among the weakest performers. Aside from general red flags like indebtedness and unprofitability, be sure to pay attention to these three calling cards for cannabis stocks that'll hurt your portfolio's value.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F630672%2Ftwo-investors-consider-a-stock-with-laptop.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Overbuilt cultivation and manufacturing capacity</h2>\n<p>When cannabis businesses work to get bigger, it's obvious that they need to have enough marijuana to meet demand. But <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the industry's most common stumbling points is to anticipate more demand than actually exists in the market.</p>\n<p>Time and time again, companies have made massive investments in greenhouses or other cultivation facilities to increase production capacity in anticipation of revenue that never seems to materialize. Then, when the overhead costs become too great a drag on the bottom line for too long, management dolefully announces that the extra capacity needs to be turned off, like when <b>Aurora Cannabis </b>(NASDAQ:ACB) closed <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of its facilities and reduced the output of another by 75% late last year.</p>\n<p>As an investor, it's difficult to judge whether a company's plans to build out new cultivation space are going to be fruitful. Thankfully, you can easily screen out the businesses that have already stumbled by expanding beyond what's supported by demand. If an unprofitable company's cost of goods sold (COGS) eats up a stubbornly high percentage of quarterly revenue, it's a sign there's inefficiency afoot. For example, in the third fiscal quarter of 2021, Aurora Cannabis had a cost of sales of $127.54 million and total net revenue of only $55.16 million. Management attributed this to the detrimental effect of unused capacity.</p>\n<h2>2. Targeting the least lucrative product segments</h2>\n<p>Raw materials and simple products sell for less per unit than more complex products that require substantial processing. In the cannabis industry, that means products like vaporizers, oils, edibles, skin creams, and beverages have more attractive margins than bulk dried marijuana flower.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, these complex items are less likely to experience competition from illegal products, as they tend to require specialized industrial equipment to make. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's <i>always </i>easier to make a profit on sales of each unit, but it does ensure that competitors will need to spend more up front to purchase the right hardware before they can start to compete for market share.</p>\n<p>So, it makes sense to avoid companies that focus on selling cannabis flower <i>unless they have proven that they can consistently do so profitably at scale</i>. Be aware that unprofitable companies like Aurora Cannabis and <b>Cronos Group</b> can compete in lucrative segments and still fall victim to low average selling prices. There's a difference between competing in a product segment and deriving a large proportion of total revenue from it.</p>\n<h2>3. Habitual accounting concessions</h2>\n<p>I'm of the general opinion that the stronger a company's earnings are, the less explanation its financial results need to wow investors. Many cannabis companies are not profitable -- sometimes for reasons management can't control, like changes in the price of bulk cannabis. That means they can't report positive values for their earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), but they still want to report <i>some</i> financial metric that is trending in the right direction.

That's particularly true when it comes to the marijuana sector, where -- regrettably -- there's an abundance of bad options from which to choose.\nThankfully, the cannabis industry is maturing, but there are already a few common traits among the weakest performers. Aside from general red flags like indebtedness and unprofitability, be sure to pay attention to these three calling cards for cannabis stocks that'll hurt your portfolio's value.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Overbuilt cultivation and manufacturing capacity\nWhen cannabis businesses work to get bigger, it's obvious that they need to have enough marijuana to meet demand. But one of the industry's most common stumbling points is to anticipate more demand than actually exists in the market.\nTime and time again, companies have made massive investments in greenhouses or other cultivation facilities to increase production capacity in anticipation of revenue that never seems to materialize. Then, when the overhead costs become too great a drag on the bottom line for too long, management dolefully announces that the extra capacity needs to be turned off, like when Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB) closed one of its facilities and reduced the output of another by 75% late last year.\nAs an investor, it's difficult to judge whether a company's plans to build out new cultivation space are going to be fruitful. Thankfully, you can easily screen out the businesses that have already stumbled by expanding beyond what's supported by demand. If an unprofitable company's cost of goods sold (COGS) eats up a stubbornly high percentage of quarterly revenue, it's a sign there's inefficiency afoot. For example, in the third fiscal quarter of 2021, Aurora Cannabis had a cost of sales of $127.54 million and total net revenue of only $55.16 million. Management attributed this to the detrimental effect of unused capacity.\n2. Targeting the least lucrative product segments\nRaw materials and simple products sell for less per unit than more complex products that require substantial processing. In the cannabis industry, that means products like vaporizers, oils, edibles, skin creams, and beverages have more attractive margins than bulk dried marijuana flower.\nFurthermore, these complex items are less likely to experience competition from illegal products, as they tend to require specialized industrial equipment to make. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's always easier to make a profit on sales of each unit, but it does ensure that competitors will need to spend more up front to purchase the right hardware before they can start to compete for market share.\nSo, it makes sense to avoid companies that focus on selling cannabis flower unless they have proven that they can consistently do so profitably at scale. Be aware that unprofitable companies like Aurora Cannabis and Cronos Group can compete in lucrative segments and still fall victim to low average selling prices. There's a difference between competing in a product segment and deriving a large proportion of total revenue from it.\n3. Habitual accounting concessions\nI'm of the general opinion that the stronger a company's earnings are, the less explanation its financial results need to wow investors. Many cannabis companies are not profitable -- sometimes for reasons management can't control, like changes in the price of bulk cannabis. That means they can't report positive values for their earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), but they still want to report some financial metric that is trending in the right direction. Thus, the concept of \"adjusted\" EBITDA was born (or so I imagine).\nIn short, many marijuana cultivators like Aurora Cannabis and Cronos Group recalculate their EBITDA to account for fluctuations in the market price of cannabis and one-off expenditures, then report the resulting value as adjusted EBITDA.\nThere's nothing wrong with providing alternative metrics for investors to use to evaluate a stock. On the other hand, the healthiest cannabis companies don't need to repackage their earnings results to look appealing, so it's probably good to tread carefully around the ones that do.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":232,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169805828,"gmtCreate":1623825375664,"gmtModify":1634027501918,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Please like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169805828","repostId":"1172455870","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1172455870","pubTimestamp":1623823817,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1172455870?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 14:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Facebook Stock Forecast For 2025: What Is In Store?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1172455870","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nFacebook is a dominant company in its industry, has a great moat, and benefits from macro t","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Facebook is a dominant company in its industry, has a great moat, and benefits from macro tailwinds such as digitalization.</li>\n <li>User growth, increased monetization of its platforms, and share buybacks should result in ample EPS growth over the coming years.</li>\n <li>Even when we use rather conservative assumptions, the upside potential for FB is quite meaningful, which is why I deem the stock attractive.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/983667978a1675a8b256d7b0478a876c\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"934\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>JuSun/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Article Thesis</b></p>\n<p>Facebook (FB) is a dominant social media company in the markets it serves, and its moat makes it likely that it will continue to hold the top spots in this space with its social networks. This, combined with excellent fundamentals, a clean balance sheet, a healthy growth outlook, and an inexpensive valuation should result in considerable upside potential over the coming four years, although there are some risk factors that investors should keep an eye on.</p>\n<p><b>FB Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Facebook, Inc. is, thanks to massive profitability and a dominating position in social media, one of the highest-valued companies in the United States. With shares trading at $335 each, Facebook is currently valued at around $940 billion, not far from the rare $1 trillion mark that has been breached by just a couple of stocks, such as Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4a015682255c9f25d5c1f2d2e0fcfa22\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares of Facebook have climbed by 45% over the last year, which is very close to the broad market's 42% total return over the same time frame. In early 2021, shares had lagged the market, but more recently, Facebook's stock has experienced a sizeable uptick, and shares are trading very close to all-time highs today. Nevertheless, FB stock isn't really expensive, as shares are trading for 25x this year's expected earnings per share right now, which is pretty close to the S&amp;P 500's (SPY) 2021 expected earnings multiple of 23x (according to YCharts). Facebook trades at a small premium compared to the broad market, but that could very well be justified, based on Facebook's quality, moat, and compelling growth rates. In fact, I believe that Facebook, at 25x forward earnings and a revenue growth rate of 20%+, is more attractive than many stocks that trade at 23x forward earnings and that do not grow by anything close to 20%+ a year.</p>\n<p>We can also take a look at Facebook's historic valuation ranges in order to gauge whether the current valuation makes sense:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/22f6c537828d175a57b12eb478d0af5e\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Historically, Facebook was more expensive than it is today. To some degree, that makes sense, as relative revenue growth and earnings growth were higher a couple of years ago versus today. But still, at an earnings multiple that is clearly below the long-term median, Facebook can't be called expensive today -- even after an attractive 21% year-to-date gain for its shares.</p>\n<p><b>Is Facebook Stock Going To Go Up?</b></p>\n<p>In the short term, stock prices can be driven by psychology, market sentiment, etc. In the long run, however, fundamentals and underlying cash flows and earnings decide whether a stock is going up or down. In Facebook's case, we have seen times when the stock price moved in a different direction compared to the business. Take, for example, Facebook's share price decline in H2 of 2018, when shares dropped from $200+ to as low as $130. Was this based on declining revenue and weak profitability? The answer is a resounding no -- underlying growth remained highly attractive in that time frame:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b7d815ab9ee5cba2b3c0f4c42978cf1\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Revenues continued to climb, and so did FB's earnings per share. And yet, the market value of Facebook's shares dropped by more than one-third. This can be explained by weak sentiment, as the market worried about changes to the news feed on the Facebook platform, while other issues such as the Cambridge Analytica data collection scandal hurt sentiment as well. None of these issues, however, impacted Facebook's operations on a lasting basis, showcased by the fact that revenue and profits continued to grow as if there had been no scandal at all.</p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, not too much later, the market realized that none of these issues would doom Facebook and that the company was still executing very well. The stock recovered relatively quickly and started to climb to new highs, which resulted in steep gains for those that bought at the lows, while the market was fearful.</p>\n<p>The same should hold true in the future as well. There will always be a reason to worry and some scandal or issue, but the market tends to overreact to these things that usually do not impact Facebook meaningfully. This includes, for example, the ad boycotts of the past -- none of these ever led to a large revenue or profit decline.</p>\n<p>In the long run, Facebook's stock should thus continue to climb as long as the company is able to execute well and grow its business, and I believe that there is a good chance for that. This does, however, not mean that share prices will never experience declines. History has shown that those declines occur from time to time, but eventually, share prices will start to climb again in order to catch up with fundamentals.</p>\n<p>Facebook's revenue and earnings growth in future years will rest on several pillars. The first of these is user growth -- despite its already massive scale, Facebook manages to grow its user count very reliably, adding about 150 million new daily active users across its platforms over the last year alone:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/274940cc6f4303bd419072fb17155240\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"960\"><span>Source: FBpresentation</span></p>\n<p>We see that there has not been a single quarter in the recent past during which Facebook's user count declined. Since the world is growing more interconnected every year, and since more and more people get access to the internet in many markets around the globe, the same growth tailwinds should exist in the future, too, I believe. Since Facebookowns 4 out of the top 5 social networks,it will be a key beneficiary of global industry growth, although it should be noted that in some markets, primarily China, access to its platforms is restricted. More or less everywhere else, however, Facebook continues to experience user growth, including in North America.</p>\n<p>On top of that, Facebook can also grow its revenue by increasing monetization, i.e. by collecting more dollars per user. Marketing budgets around the globe are increasingly being shifted towards social media and online marketing, which allows for better targeting, faster ad campaigns, etc. Social media marketing budgets are expected to continue togrow at a rapid pace, and again, thanks to its dominance in this industry, Facebook should be one of the biggest winners from this trend. Last but not least, Facebook also is seeking to create new revenue sources, which includes monetizing WhatsApp, e.g.by integrating payment options.</p>\n<p>Facebook also continues to spend heavily on R&amp;D ($19.6 billion over the last four quarters according to YCharts), which includes hardware gadgets such as smartwatches, and AR devices. Augmented reality and virtual reality don't drive revenue growth in the near term, but these projects could be long-term drivers of Facebook's success during the second half of the 2020s if the company's projects come to fruition.</p>\n<p>Facebook's earnings per share growth will also be positively impacted by share buybacks. Thanks to strong free cash flows and a very clean balance sheet, which holds a $65 billion net cash position according tothe most recent 10-Q filing, Facebook can easily spend dozens of billions of dollars on repurchasing its own shares without getting into financial troubles. Over the years, these buybacks should grow into a meaningful factor for the company's ongoing EPS growth story.</p>\n<p>With all these growth factors in place, it is not really surprising to see that the analyst community, overall, is relatively bullish on Facebook's long-term outlook:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fc74d571edba4272843b67a6e5fc097\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"453\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>EPS is forecasted to grow by 15% in 2022, by 17% in 2023, and by 21% per year in the long run. Even if these estimates are too bullish and Facebook achieves just two-thirds of what analysts are forecasting right now, Facebook would still deliver highly attractive EPS growth well in the double-digits over the coming years.</p>\n<p><b>Facebook Stock Forecast For 2025</b></p>\n<p>Based on Facebook's expected growth, I believe that there is considerable upside for shares over the next four years. If Facebook hits EPS of $13.10 this year, and grow its EPS by 14% a year through 2025, which would be significantly less than the past growth rate and significantly less than the current consensus, thus this is a rather conservative estimate, then FB's EPS in 2025 would be $22.10 in 2025.</p>\n<p>Facebook currently trades at 25x earnings, and I do not think this is a too-high multiple at all. But let's nevertheless assume that there will be some multiple contraction over the next four years in order to be conservative. If Facebook trades at 22x its EPS in 2025, which would be significantly less than the long-term median earnings multiple FB has traded at in the past, then we get to a share price target of $486 in 2025. Rounding this to $490, we get to an expected upside of around 45% from the current price over the next 4.5 years, which equates to a 9% annual return. Even in this rather conservative scenario, shares should thus generate healthy returns over the coming years, which tells me that FB is still attractive today -- even though shares were, of course, even more attractive at $250 earlier this year.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Facebook controls four out of the top five social networks, which gives it an incredible moat thanks to network effects. Most consumers naturally flock to the largest platforms, because that is where all their friends and family members are. Facebook should be able to grow its revenue and its profits materially in the future, even though growth will eventually slow down from what we have seen in the past -- no company can grow at 50% a year forever.</p>\n<p>No investment is without risk, and there are some risks that investors should consider here as well. FB is highly dependent on key personnel such as CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and due to its dominance in the social media industry, FB is a potential target of anti-trust legislation. So far, even though there have been a couple of senate hearings where Mark Zuckerberg and others were questioned, politicians have not really moved against the company, and I do not expect this to happen in the foreseeable future, either. This is still a potential risk that investors should keep in mind.</p>\n<p>Overall, Facebook has the ability to generate attractive returns over the coming years, which is why I continue to happily hold my shares. FB will likely experience some share price ups and downs from time to time, as it did in the past, but ultimately, the company's strong fundamentals, healthy growth, and shareholder return program should lead to gains for those that invest with a long-term mindset.</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>Facebook Stock Forecast For 2025: What Is In Store?</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\">\nFacebook Stock Forecast For 2025: What Is In Store?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-16 14:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434920-facebook-stock-forecast-2025><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nFacebook is a dominant company in its industry, has a great moat, and benefits from macro tailwinds such as digitalization.\nUser growth, increased monetization of its platforms, and share ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434920-facebook-stock-forecast-2025\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434920-facebook-stock-forecast-2025","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1172455870","content_text":"Summary\n\nFacebook is a dominant company in its industry, has a great moat, and benefits from macro tailwinds such as digitalization.\nUser growth, increased monetization of its platforms, and share buybacks should result in ample EPS growth over the coming years.\nEven when we use rather conservative assumptions, the upside potential for FB is quite meaningful, which is why I deem the stock attractive.\n\nJuSun/iStock via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nFacebook (FB) is a dominant social media company in the markets it serves, and its moat makes it likely that it will continue to hold the top spots in this space with its social networks.

Nevertheless, FB stock isn't really expensive, as shares are trading for 25x this year's expected earnings per share right now, which is pretty close to the S&P 500's (SPY) 2021 expected earnings multiple of 23x (according to YCharts). Facebook trades at a small premium compared to the broad market, but that could very well be justified, based on Facebook's quality, moat, and compelling growth rates. In fact, I believe that Facebook, at 25x forward earnings and a revenue growth rate of 20%+, is more attractive than many stocks that trade at 23x forward earnings and that do not grow by anything close to 20%+ a year.\nWe can also take a look at Facebook's historic valuation ranges in order to gauge whether the current valuation makes sense:\nData by YCharts\nHistorically, Facebook was more expensive than it is today. To some degree, that makes sense, as relative revenue growth and earnings growth were higher a couple of years ago versus today. But still, at an earnings multiple that is clearly below the long-term median, Facebook can't be called expensive today -- even after an attractive 21% year-to-date gain for its shares.\nIs Facebook Stock Going To Go Up?\nIn the short term, stock prices can be driven by psychology, market sentiment, etc. In the long run, however, fundamentals and underlying cash flows and earnings decide whether a stock is going up or down. In Facebook's case, we have seen times when the stock price moved in a different direction compared to the business. Take, for example, Facebook's share price decline in H2 of 2018, when shares dropped from $200+ to as low as $130. Was this based on declining revenue and weak profitability? The answer is a resounding no -- underlying growth remained highly attractive in that time frame:\nData by YCharts\nRevenues continued to climb, and so did FB's earnings per share. And yet, the market value of Facebook's shares dropped by more than one-third. This can be explained by weak sentiment, as the market worried about changes to the news feed on the Facebook platform, while other issues such as the Cambridge Analytica data collection scandal hurt sentiment as well. None of these issues, however, impacted Facebook's operations on a lasting basis, showcased by the fact that revenue and profits continued to grow as if there had been no scandal at all.\nNot surprisingly, not too much later, the market realized that none of these issues would doom Facebook and that the company was still executing very well. The stock recovered relatively quickly and started to climb to new highs, which resulted in steep gains for those that bought at the lows, while the market was fearful.\nThe same should hold true in the future as well. There will always be a reason to worry and some scandal or issue, but the market tends to overreact to these things that usually do not impact Facebook meaningfully. This includes, for example, the ad boycotts of the past -- none of these ever led to a large revenue or profit decline.\nIn the long run, Facebook's stock should thus continue to climb as long as the company is able to execute well and grow its business, and I believe that there is a good chance for that. This does, however, not mean that share prices will never experience declines. History has shown that those declines occur from time to time, but eventually, share prices will start to climb again in order to catch up with fundamentals.\nFacebook's revenue and earnings growth in future years will rest on several pillars. The first of these is user growth -- despite its already massive scale, Facebook manages to grow its user count very reliably, adding about 150 million new daily active users across its platforms over the last year alone:\nSource: FBpresentation\nWe see that there has not been a single quarter in the recent past during which Facebook's user count declined. Since the world is growing more interconnected every year, and since more and more people get access to the internet in many markets around the globe, the same growth tailwinds should exist in the future, too, I believe. Since Facebookowns 4 out of the top 5 social networks,it will be a key beneficiary of global industry growth, although it should be noted that in some markets, primarily China, access to its platforms is restricted. More or less everywhere else, however, Facebook continues to experience user growth, including in North America.\nOn top of that, Facebook can also grow its revenue by increasing monetization, i.e. by collecting more dollars per user. Marketing budgets around the globe are increasingly being shifted towards social media and online marketing, which allows for better targeting, faster ad campaigns, etc. Social media marketing budgets are expected to continue togrow at a rapid pace, and again, thanks to its dominance in this industry, Facebook should be one of the biggest winners from this trend. Last but not least, Facebook also is seeking to create new revenue sources, which includes monetizing WhatsApp, e.g.by integrating payment options.\nFacebook also continues to spend heavily on R&D ($19.6 billion over the last four quarters according to YCharts), which includes hardware gadgets such as smartwatches, and AR devices. Augmented reality and virtual reality don't drive revenue growth in the near term, but these projects could be long-term drivers of Facebook's success during the second half of the 2020s if the company's projects come to fruition.\nFacebook's earnings per share growth will also be positively impacted by share buybacks. Thanks to strong free cash flows and a very clean balance sheet, which holds a $65 billion net cash position according tothe most recent 10-Q filing, Facebook can easily spend dozens of billions of dollars on repurchasing its own shares without getting into financial troubles. Over the years, these buybacks should grow into a meaningful factor for the company's ongoing EPS growth story.\nWith all these growth factors in place, it is not really surprising to see that the analyst community, overall, is relatively bullish on Facebook's long-term outlook:\nData by YCharts\nEPS is forecasted to grow by 15% in 2022, by 17% in 2023, and by 21% per year in the long run. Even if these estimates are too bullish and Facebook achieves just two-thirds of what analysts are forecasting right now, Facebook would still deliver highly attractive EPS growth well in the double-digits over the coming years.\nFacebook Stock Forecast For 2025\nBased on Facebook's expected growth, I believe that there is considerable upside for shares over the next four years. If Facebook hits EPS of $13.10 this year, and grow its EPS by 14% a year through 2025, which would be significantly less than the past growth rate and significantly less than the current consensus, thus this is a rather conservative estimate, then FB's EPS in 2025 would be $22.10 in 2025.\nFacebook currently trades at 25x earnings, and I do not think this is a too-high multiple at all. But let's nevertheless assume that there will be some multiple contraction over the next four years in order to be conservative. If Facebook trades at 22x its EPS in 2025, which would be significantly less than the long-term median earnings multiple FB has traded at in the past, then we get to a share price target of $486 in 2025. Rounding this to $490, we get to an expected upside of around 45% from the current price over the next 4.5 years, which equates to a 9% annual return. Even in this rather conservative scenario, shares should thus generate healthy returns over the coming years, which tells me that FB is still attractive today -- even though shares were, of course, even more attractive at $250 earlier this year.\nTakeaway\nFacebook controls four out of the top five social networks, which gives it an incredible moat thanks to network effects. Most consumers naturally flock to the largest platforms, because that is where all their friends and family members are. Facebook should be able to grow its revenue and its profits materially in the future, even though growth will eventually slow down from what we have seen in the past -- no company can grow at 50% a year forever.\nNo investment is without risk, and there are some risks that investors should consider here as well. FB is highly dependent on key personnel such as CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and due to its dominance in the social media industry, FB is a potential target of anti-trust legislation. So far, even though there have been a couple of senate hearings where Mark Zuckerberg and others were questioned, politicians have not really moved against the company, and I do not expect this to happen in the foreseeable future, either. This is still a potential risk that investors should keep in mind.\nOverall, Facebook has the ability to generate attractive returns over the coming years, which is why I continue to happily hold my shares. FB will likely experience some share price ups and downs from time to time, as it did in the past, but ultimately, the company's strong fundamentals, healthy growth, and shareholder return program should lead to gains for those that invest with a long-term mindset.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169805115,"gmtCreate":1623825349137,"gmtModify":1634027502041,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Please like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169805115","repostId":"1178463933","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178463933","pubTimestamp":1623824661,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1178463933?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 14:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Best Growth Stocks to Buy in June","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178463933","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Growth stocks have taken an absolute beating.

With that being said, many high-quality names were thrown out with these losing stocks. As a result, they’ve suffered declines of 30% to 50% in the past several months.</p>\n<p>I am a&nbsp;huge advocate of scooping up growth stocks&nbsp;on these types of declines. So let’s look at seven of them now.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ROKU</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Square</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SQ</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Sea Ltd</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SE</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Twilio</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TWLO</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Snap</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SNAP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>The Trade Desk</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TTD</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Roku (ROKU)</b></p>\n<p>With its move from sub-$30 in late 2018 to its recent high of almost $500, Roku has firmly cemented itself into the next generation of growth stocks. Will it grow to be the next&nbsp;<b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>)? In terms of market capitalization, probably not.</p>\n<p>However, it’s firmly entrenched in a major secular growth trend. Streaming TV is not going away. It’s too convenient for customers and offers too many options to be discarded. It’s simply the new way that we digest video and Roku’s leading the charge.</p>\n<p>Too many people keep thinking of Roku as the streaming stick you put in the TV or as the smart TV you buy from the store. That’s Roku’s hardware unit, but it’s the wrong focus. The hardware is simply the gateway to the company’s<i>platform</i>.</p>\n<p>The platform has all of the leverage. It’s what’s powering the big move in gross profit, revenue growth and usage. It’s why Roku has an enormous runway of growth both domestically and internationally. Despite years to get the story right, look at how conservative the analysts remain.</p>\n<p>Revenue of $574 million&nbsp;beat estimates by almost $83 million, nearly 17% higher than consensus estimates, and was up almost 80% year over year. A surprise profit of 54 cents per share crushed expectations by 67 cents. Revenue estimates for next quarter torched expectations as well ($615 million at the midpoint vs. expectations of $546 million).</p>\n<p><b>Square (SQ)</b></p>\n<p>What do I love about Square? It’s continued push toward new technologies and features. It’s not shy about disrupting a particular space, nor does it seem worried about angering the legacy providers in various industries.</p>\n<p>It’s quickly becoming a go-to platform — there’s that word again,<i>platform</i>— for all things money.</p>\n<p>Whether you’re a small- or medium-sized business or just a single person looking to send some money, Square has various solutions at hand. Business lending, recurring revenue via point-of-service, its Cash App, payroll services, cryptocurrency trading — you name it.</p>\n<p>It’s why so many investors continue to hold this name, believing that it has a long runway of growth as it continues to gain customers.</p>\n<p>The other thing I like about Square? How well it held up during the bear market correction. Shares fell “just” 20% from peak to trough. While shedding a fifth of its value seems rough, it’s<i>much</i>better than its peers held up. Almost all of these stocks fell 40% or more. It’s even more impressive considering that Square rallied more than 250% from the March 2020 lows and it didn’t break its March lows (again, like most of its peers did in May).</p>\n<p><b>Sea Ltd (SE)</b></p>\n<p>Another stock that had impressive relative strength was Sea Ltd. In fact, this stock had a very similar performance run as Square.</p>\n<p>Shares rallied 500% from the March 2020 low to the February high and then corrected 27%. Sea stock is now only about $5 from its all-time high. This stock is incredibly resilient. Further, it’s got the growth to back it up.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect&nbsp;85% revenue growth this year and 46% growth in 2022. On the earnings front, analysts expect a loss in each of the next two years, but Sea is forecast to shrink those losses in both years.</p>\n<p>Now it’s looking to&nbsp;expand in South America too, further helping drive its growth higher.</p>\n<p>I can’t believe how well the stock has held up after such a strong run and rapid rebound. This one has plenty of relative strength.</p>\n<p><b>Twilio (TWLO)</b></p>\n<p>One of the highest-quality companies on this list, Twilio has become a growth giant. Like Roku, it wasn’t long ago that Twilio was trading below $40. Heck, at its recent low, Twilio shares were trading below $100. At its recent high though, the stock was north of $450.</p>\n<p>Twilio has become<i>the</i>premiere platform for businesses to communicate with their customers.Everyone from ride-sharing companies to&nbsp;<b>Airbnb</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ABNB</u></b>) to&nbsp;<b>Twitter</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TWTR</u></b>) use Twilio to communicate with customers and users, with plenty of others in between.</p>\n<p>In the world of growth, we have speculative growth stocks and established growth stocks. While it’s rewarding to catching the speculative winners that turn into the future growth giants, Twilio is an established growth giant.</p>\n<p>Its acquisition of SendGrid took Twilio to the next level by incorporating email into the communication strategy. The company is leveraging the internet and mobile devices for communication, and unless we stop traveling, buying, tweeting and other things, Twilio will be here for years and years to come.</p>\n<p><b>Snap (SNAP)</b></p>\n<p>Snap is one of Wall Street’s favorite social media giants.<b>Facebook</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>FB</u></b>) has garnered some nice momentum lately, but Snap is absolutely one that investors will come back to and bid higher if growth stocks fetch a bid.</p>\n<p>While it took a few years for this young company to find its way, management has done so in an impressive manner. Consensus estimates now call for 55% revenue growth this year, near-50% growth in 2022 and more than 40% growth in 2023.</p>\n<p>If those estimates pan out, it will take Snap from $2.5 billion in sales in 2020 to more than $8 billion in revenue in 2024. Whoa! Now you can see where the bullish case comes from with this one.</p>\n<p>Making things even better, the company is forecast to become profitable this year, then more than triple its earnings in 2022.</p>\n<p>We’ll see how accurate some of these estimates are. But one thing seems certain and that’s that Snapchat isn’t going anywhere and it should be a significant driver of growth for the next several years.</p>\n<p>Like Square, Snap didn’t break down to new lows this quarter and fell “just” 28% from the high. Let’s see how long it takes to erase the current 10% dip from the highs.</p>\n<p><b>The Trade Desk (TTD)</b></p>\n<p>Now this one is truly perplexing. The Trade Desk became a Wall Street favorite, surging from about $150 in March 2020 to almost $1,000 by December.</p>\n<p>After a move like that, I don’t care how great the company is — the stock deserves to correct. Of course, The Trade Desk was also trading at more than 40 times revenue, which made it susceptible to the “snowball selloff” or a decline that gains serious momentum on the way down once investors discover a reason to sell it.</p>\n<p>Despite the bumpy price action, including a 50% correction off the highs, this stock looks like a bargain on the dip. Why? Because it’s a fantastic business!</p>\n<p>Co-founder and CEO Jeff Green has built a remarkable business, one that is thriving around the world — including China. That’s a big difference vs. some of the ad giants of the world, like&nbsp;<b>Alphabet</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>) and Facebook, which aren’t allowed to operate in China.</p>\n<p>The company&nbsp;uses data to spread contracted products to reach as many potential customers as possible. As online advertising continues to grow and as advertising on streaming TV grows, so too should The Trade Desk.</p>\n<p>Perhaps one of my favorite things about this company? The cash flow and the bottom line. Despite being a growth company, this company still generates solid earnings. I expect The Trade Desk to&nbsp;generate 30%-plus revenue growth&nbsp;in each of the next three years, minimum.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>Shopify isn’t exactly flying under the radar these days. The company commands a market cap of $163 billion, making it a large cap tech stock.</p>\n<p>I wrote about this one in Dec. 2019, back when it had a $30 billion to $40 billion market cap. My case was based on the idea of the&nbsp;stock tripling in the next five to 10 years. I was certainly bullish on this stock, but clearly not bullish enough.</p>\n<p>Put simply, Shopify is revolutionizing and completely disrupting the e-commerce space. Yeah, there’s&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>), but there’s enough room for two of these beasts.</p>\n<p>Shopify will have its share of ups and downs, but it’s not going anywhere soon. It’s built a can’t-live-without platform for its customers and it’s not even close to being done yet. The valuation is high, but the growth seems endless.</p>\n<p>Like others on this list, Shopify held up pretty well during the selloff. I wouldn’t hesitate to hold this name long term and take advantage of the dips.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Best Growth Stocks to Buy in June</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\">\n7 Best Growth Stocks to Buy in June\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-16 14:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-best-growth-stocks-to-buy-in-june/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Growth stocks have taken an absolute beating.

In fact, this stock had a very similar performance run as Square.\nShares rallied 500% from the March 2020 low to the February high and then corrected 27%. Sea stock is now only about $5 from its all-time high. This stock is incredibly resilient. Further, it’s got the growth to back it up.\nAnalysts expect 85% revenue growth this year and 46% growth in 2022. On the earnings front, analysts expect a loss in each of the next two years, but Sea is forecast to shrink those losses in both years.\nNow it’s looking to expand in South America too, further helping drive its growth higher.\nI can’t believe how well the stock has held up after such a strong run and rapid rebound. This one has plenty of relative strength.\nTwilio (TWLO)\nOne of the highest-quality companies on this list, Twilio has become a growth giant. Like Roku, it wasn’t long ago that Twilio was trading below $40. Heck, at its recent low, Twilio shares were trading below $100. At its recent high though, the stock was north of $450.\nTwilio has becomethepremiere platform for businesses to communicate with their customers.Everyone from ride-sharing companies to Airbnb(NASDAQ:ABNB) to Twitter(NYSE:TWTR) use Twilio to communicate with customers and users, with plenty of others in between.\nIn the world of growth, we have speculative growth stocks and established growth stocks. While it’s rewarding to catching the speculative winners that turn into the future growth giants, Twilio is an established growth giant.\nIts acquisition of SendGrid took Twilio to the next level by incorporating email into the communication strategy. The company is leveraging the internet and mobile devices for communication, and unless we stop traveling, buying, tweeting and other things, Twilio will be here for years and years to come.\nSnap (SNAP)\nSnap is one of Wall Street’s favorite social media giants.Facebook(NASDAQ:FB) has garnered some nice momentum lately, but Snap is absolutely one that investors will come back to and bid higher if growth stocks fetch a bid.\nWhile it took a few years for this young company to find its way, management has done so in an impressive manner. Consensus estimates now call for 55% revenue growth this year, near-50% growth in 2022 and more than 40% growth in 2023.\nIf those estimates pan out, it will take Snap from $2.5 billion in sales in 2020 to more than $8 billion in revenue in 2024. Whoa! Now you can see where the bullish case comes from with this one.\nMaking things even better, the company is forecast to become profitable this year, then more than triple its earnings in 2022.\nWe’ll see how accurate some of these estimates are. But one thing seems certain and that’s that Snapchat isn’t going anywhere and it should be a significant driver of growth for the next several years.\nLike Square, Snap didn’t break down to new lows this quarter and fell “just” 28% from the high. Let’s see how long it takes to erase the current 10% dip from the highs.\nThe Trade Desk (TTD)\nNow this one is truly perplexing. The Trade Desk became a Wall Street favorite, surging from about $150 in March 2020 to almost $1,000 by December.\nAfter a move like that, I don’t care how great the company is — the stock deserves to correct. Of course, The Trade Desk was also trading at more than 40 times revenue, which made it susceptible to the “snowball selloff” or a decline that gains serious momentum on the way down once investors discover a reason to sell it.\nDespite the bumpy price action, including a 50% correction off the highs, this stock looks like a bargain on the dip. Why? Because it’s a fantastic business!\nCo-founder and CEO Jeff Green has built a remarkable business, one that is thriving around the world — including China. That’s a big difference vs. some of the ad giants of the world, like Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG) and Facebook, which aren’t allowed to operate in China.\nThe company uses data to spread contracted products to reach as many potential customers as possible. As online advertising continues to grow and as advertising on streaming TV grows, so too should The Trade Desk.\nPerhaps one of my favorite things about this company? The cash flow and the bottom line. Despite being a growth company, this company still generates solid earnings. I expect The Trade Desk to generate 30%-plus revenue growth in each of the next three years, minimum.\nShopify (SHOP)\nShopify isn’t exactly flying under the radar these days. The company commands a market cap of $163 billion, making it a large cap tech stock.\nI wrote about this one in Dec. 2019, back when it had a $30 billion to $40 billion market cap. My case was based on the idea of the stock tripling in the next five to 10 years. I was certainly bullish on this stock, but clearly not bullish enough.\nPut simply, Shopify is revolutionizing and completely disrupting the e-commerce space. Yeah, there’s Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), but there’s enough room for two of these beasts.\nShopify will have its share of ups and downs, but it’s not going anywhere soon. It’s built a can’t-live-without platform for its customers and it’s not even close to being done yet. The valuation is high, but the growth seems endless.\nLike others on this list, Shopify held up pretty well during the selloff. I wouldn’t hesitate to hold this name long term and take advantage of the dips.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":310,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169802177,"gmtCreate":1623825318599,"gmtModify":1634027502634,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Please like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169802177","repostId":"1105892749","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105892749","pubTimestamp":1623809672,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105892749?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 10:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Bulls Look for Stock Catalysts.

International growth</b></h2>\n<p>While Roku is already the most popular connected-TV platform in the U.S., it's still in the early days of its international expansion. Management is following the same playbook in foreign markets as it did domestically: first scale its user base, then increase engagement, and then improve monetization.</p>\n<p>So far, it's working well. In Canada -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the first international markets it pushed into -- it's already the No. 1 smart TV platform.

The continued shift in media consumption patterns</b></h2>\n<p>Roku operates under the assumption that all TV will become streaming media. That said, Americans spent an average of 3.5 hours per day watching traditional TV in 2020, according to an estimate from eMarketer. The analysts expect TV viewing to decline by 16 minutes per day this year, and about half of that time will be shifted into consuming media on connected devices and platforms like Roku's.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> factors are driving the decline in traditional TV viewing. First is a shift among cable subscribers from watching linear TV to viewing more on-demand streaming content. Second, and more importantly, cord-cutting is on course to accelerate in 2021, and that trend is forecast to continue throughout the decade. Those trends should combine to produce a sustained shift in viewership from traditional TV to streaming programming.</p>\n<p>Also, in 2021, U.S. audiences are likely to have less interest in news programming -- absent a raging pandemic and a presidential election -- and more interest in entertainment, which is best served via streaming. That should produce greater engagement among Roku users regardless, but when you factor in the increased number of streaming options, average engagement on Roku should still climb compared to 2020. Add in the potential for strong international growth, and 2021 should be another year of rapid growth in users and engagement for Roku.</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>3 Reasons Roku Will Keep Growing Faster in 2021</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Reasons Roku Will Keep Growing Faster in 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-14 14:26 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/13/3-reasons-roku-will-keep-growing-faster-in-2021/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Roku's (NASDAQ:ROKU) active accounts and streaming hours exploded in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic, and its outlook for 2021 is still strong.

Add in the potential for strong international growth, and 2021 should be another year of rapid growth in users and engagement for Roku.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":166,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185288165,"gmtCreate":1623653429457,"gmtModify":1634030601205,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Please like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/185288165","repostId":"1146430910","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185281004,"gmtCreate":1623653336308,"gmtModify":1634030602365,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Where is koss?

However, this does not change the fact that some stocks are worth going short. It’s very likely that AMC stock will witness an equally sharp correction.</p>\n<p>That’s not the case with unshortable stocks.</p>\n<p>My focus is on four unshortable stocks where short interest as a percentage of free float is approximately 1%. Two of these stocks trade near all-time highs. The other two are in a consolidation mode and there seems to be a high probability of a breakout on the upside.</p>\n<p>The reasons for these stocks being unshortable are strong fundamentals, high growth and strong cash flows. Additionally, there are ample positive business growth catalysts on the horizon.</p>\n<p>Let’s take a deeper look into the reasons that make these stocks unshortable.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Nvidia</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NVDA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Target</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TGT</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Nvidia (NVDA)</b></p>\n<p>NVDA stock is currently trading near 52-week highs. However, the short interest in the stock is just 1% of the free float. This is probably an indication of the point that NVDA stock is among the unshortable stocks.</p>\n<p>From a fundamental perspective, Nvidia has been on a high growth trajectory. For the first quarter of 2022, the company reported revenue growth of 84% to $5.66 billion. Growth was healthy in the gaming as well as data center segment.</p>\n<p>In addition, Nvidia reported&nbsp;operating cash flow of $1.9 billion for the quarter. This would imply an annualized operating cash flow of nearly $8 billion. The company has high financial flexibility to invest in innovation and pursue inorganic growth.</p>\n<p>In a recent news, Nvidia has asked&nbsp;Chinese regulators to approve the $40 billion acquisition&nbsp;of&nbsp;<b>Arm</b>. A possible approval in the coming quarters will ensure that the stock momentum remains positive.</p>\n<p>With focus on artificial intelligence, Nvidia has also made inroads in multiple industries. This includes AI chips and solutions for robotics, self-driving and healthcare, among others. Therefore, with multiple growth catalysts, NVDA stock remains attractive.</p>\n<p><b>Target (TGT)</b></p>\n<p>TGT stock is another name that I would include among unshortable stocks. The stock trades near all-time highs and looks good for further upside.</p>\n<p>UBS analyst Michael Lasser sees Target as “structurally improved as its strong positioning&nbsp;becomes even clearer in upcoming quarters.” Lasser has a price target of $265 for the stock.</p>\n<p>As the U.S. economy witnesses wider reopening, Target is positioned to benefit. According to Moody’s Analytics, Americans were holding&nbsp;$2.6 trillion in excess savings as of mid-April. The possibility of a post-pandemic consumption boom is likely to be good news for Target, among other retailers.</p>\n<p>Target has already been delivering stellar growth. For the first quarter, the company&nbsp;reported comparable sales growth of 22.9%&nbsp;on a year-on-year basis. Digital comparable sales growth was 50%.</p>\n<p>Clearly, Target is emerging from the pandemic with superior omni-channel capabilities. Initiatives such as order pick-up, drive-up and same-day shipment services are likely to ensure that comparable sales growth remains strong.</p>\n<p>From a financial perspective, Target reported cash flows of $1.1 billion for the quarter. With more than $4 billion in annualized cash flow visibility, dividend and share repurchase will continue.</p>\n<p>Overall, TGT stock looks attractive considering the growth momentum. With an impending spending boom, it might be best to avoid shorting the stock.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>SHOP stock seems to be trading at premium valuations. However, the stock has consolidated in the broad range of $1,000 to $1,200. Short interest is low and considering the company’s growth outlook, the stock is among the top unshortable stocks.</p>\n<p>For the first quarter, Shopify reported revenue growth of 110% on a year-over-year basis to $988.6 million. An important point to note is that&nbsp;monthly recurring revenue accelerated by 62% to $89.9 million.

Granted, Vertex hasn't delivered anywhere close to the kinds of returns that AMC and Dogecoin have in recent months. It even just reported a setback for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of its pipeline candidates. However, this big biotech holds an advantage over both of them that should make a huge difference over the long run: Vertex enjoys a monopoly in its core market.</p>\n<p>There are currently four approved drugs in the U.S. and Europe that treat the underlying cause of rare genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF), and Vertex markets all of them. Its newest CF drug, Trikafta/Kaftrio, is its biggest winner yet. The drug is just beginning to pick up momentum in Europe.</p>\n<p>What about potential rivals? <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> other companies have clinical-stage candidates that target the underlying cause of CF. However, those experimental drugs are only in phase 2 testing, and there's no guarantee the candidates will be more effective than Vertex's products that are already on the market. Vertex seems likely to dominate the CF market, at least through the next decade.</p>\n<p>Let's compare Vertex's monopoly to the competitive dynamics for AMC and Dogecoin. AMC isn't the only theater chain. Its top rivals include <b>Cineplex</b>, <b>Cinemark</b>, <b>Marcus</b>, and Regal Entertainment. Streaming services that allow people to watch new movies at home are also a competitive threat to AMC.</p>\n<p>Dogecoin isn't the only cryptocurrency vying for investors' favor, either. There are other cryptocurrencies that seem even more likely to succeed over the next several years than Dogecoin.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that Vertex has a moat, while AMC and Dogecoin don't. Over the long run, moats matter.</p>\n<h2>Looking to the future</h2>\n<p>Dogecoin likely has a hit-or-miss future. It either will become a top cryptocurrency that enjoys enduring use or it will fade away.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, AMC will probably experience a solid rebound as life returns to normal with fears about the COVID-19 pandemic waning. That should boost the company's sales this year and into 2022. But how long can AMC's growth story last? Movie-theater attendance was declining somewhat even before the pandemic. It won't be surprising to see that trend resume after an initial resurgence.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vertex continues to focus on treating the remaining 10% of CF patients that its current drugs can't help. The company is also developing experimental therapies for other rare diseases, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, APOL1-mediated kidney diseases, beta-thalassemia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and sickle cell disease.</p>\n<p>Vertex isn't limiting itself to just rare diseases, though. It's testing an experimental drug for the treatment of acute pain following certain types of surgeries in phase 2 clinical trials. The biotech is evaluating a gene therapy in a phase 1/2 study that holds the potential to essentially cure type 1 diabetes</p>\n<p>The important thing to note is that Vertex doesn't need all of these programs to be successful. If only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> or two of them pan out, this biotech stock should deliver tremendous returns.</p>\n<h2>Beyond the hype</h2>\n<p>I think it's quite possible that AMC and/or Dogecoin will outperform Vertex over the short term. If you're a short-term trader looking to capture quick profits, that's great. However, my focus from the beginning has been on the long term.</p>\n<p>Sooner or later, the hype for AMC and Dogecoin will die down. What happens then? Short-term traders will turn to another stock or cryptocurrency to ride.</p>\n<p>Vertex, though, is working every single day to treat and even cure diseases that cause suffering for many people around the world. Its CF franchise is generating billions of dollars in sales every year, and the company is using its growing cash stockpile to fund further development and make more deals to bolster its pipeline.</p>\n<p>My view is that these continuous efforts will make Vertex a bigger winner than either AMC or Dogecoin over the long term.</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>Move Over, AMC and Dogecoin -- This Stock Could Be a Much Bigger Long-Term Winner</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\">\nMove Over, AMC and Dogecoin -- This Stock Could Be a Much Bigger Long-Term Winner\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-11 23:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/11/move-over-amc-and-dogecoin-this-stock-could-be-a-m/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>You won't find hotter stars in the investing universe so far this year than AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE).

If you're a short-term trader looking to capture quick profits, that's great. However, my focus from the beginning has been on the long term.\nSooner or later, the hype for AMC and Dogecoin will die down. What happens then? Short-term traders will turn to another stock or cryptocurrency to ride.\nVertex, though, is working every single day to treat and even cure diseases that cause suffering for many people around the world. Its CF franchise is generating billions of dollars in sales every year, and the company is using its growing cash stockpile to fund further development and make more deals to bolster its pipeline.\nMy view is that these continuous efforts will make Vertex a bigger winner than either AMC or Dogecoin over the long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":376340937,"gmtCreate":1619093193429,"gmtModify":1634288636771,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"There's nvidia.

Other posts around that time referenced Mudrick as “losers,” “scum bags” and “a large waving pile of s—t with no future.” Members of the forum urged each other to buy and hold.</p>\n<p>Inside Mudrick, executives were growing apprehensive as the AMC rally gained steam. The firm’s risk committee met on the evening of June 1 after the stock closed at $32 and decided to exit all debt and derivative positions the following day.</p>\n<p>It was a day too late.</p>\n<p>AMC’s stock price blew past $40in a matter of hours June 2, hitting an intraday high of $72.62.Call option prices soaredamid a frenzy of trading that Mudrick Capital contributed to and, by the end of the week, the winning trade had turned into a bust, costing the fund hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. Mudrick Capital made a roughly 5% return on the debt it sold but after accounting for its options trade, the fund took a net loss of about 5.4% on AMC.</p>\n<p>Mr. Mudrick’s fund is still up about 12% for the year, one of the people said. Meanwhile, investors who bought AMC stock at the start of the year and held on have gained about 2000%.</p>\n<p>The impact of social media-fueled day traders has become a defining market development this year, costing top hedge funds billions of dollars in losses, sparking a congressional hearing anddrawing scrutinyfrom the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. More hedge funds now track individual investors’ sentiment on social media and pay greater attention to companies with smaller market values whose stock price may be more susceptible to the enthusiasms of individual investors.</p>\n<p>Mr. Mudrick specializes in distressed debt investing, often lending to troubled companies at high interest rates or swapping their existing debt for equity in bankruptcy court. Mudrick manages about $3.5 billion in investments firmwide and holds large, illiquid stakes in E-cigarette maker NJOY Holdings Inc. and satellite communications companyGlobalstarInc.from such exchanges. The flagship fund reported returns of about 17% annually from 2018 to 2020, according to data from HSBC Alternative Investment Group.</p>\n<p>But distressed investing opportunities have grownharder to findas easy money from the Federal Reserve has given even struggling companies open access to debt markets. Mr. Mudrick has explored other strategies, launching several special-purpose acquisition companiesand, in the case of AMC, ultimately buying stock in block trades.</p>\n<p>Mr. Mudrick initially applied his typical playbook to AMC, buying bonds for as little as 20 cents on the dollar,lending the company $100 millionin December and swapping some bonds into new shares. Theater attendance, already under pressure, had disappeared almost entirely amid Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns, and AMC stock traded as low as $2. He reasoned that consumers would regain their appetite for big-screen entertainment this year as more Americans got vaccinated.</p>\n<p>Day traders took theirfirst run at AMC in late January, urging each other on with the social-media rallying cry of #SaveAMC and briefly lifting the stock to around $20. AMC’s rising equity value boosted debt prices—one bond Mudrick Capital owned doubled within a week—quickly rewarding Mr. Mudrick’s bullishness. AMC capitalized on its surging stock priceto raise nearly $1 billion in new financingin late January, enabling it to ward off a previously expected bankruptcy filing.</p>\n<p>Around that time, Mr. Mudrick sold call options on AMC stock, producing immediate income to offset potential losses if the theater chain did face problems. The derivatives gave buyers the option to buy AMC shares from Mudrick Capital for about $40—viewed as a seeming improbability when the stock was trading below $10.</p>\n<p>Mr. Mudrick remained in contact with AMC Chief Executive Adam Aron about providing additional funding, leading to his recent share purchase. But he kept the derivative contracts outstanding as an insurance policy, one of the people familiar with the matter said.</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>AMC Bet by Hedge Fund Unravels Thanks to Meme-Stock Traders</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\">\nAMC Bet by Hedge Fund Unravels Thanks to Meme-Stock Traders\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-12 11:53 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.wsj.com/articles/amc-bet-by-hedge-fund-unravels-thanks-to-meme-stock-traders-11623431320?mod=markets_lead_pos2><strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Losses by Mudrick Capital show the risks of exposure to meme stocks.\n\nA multipronged bet onAMC Entertainment HoldingsInc.AMC15.39%boomeranged this month on Mudrick Capital Management LP, the latest ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/amc-bet-by-hedge-fund-unravels-thanks-to-meme-stock-traders-11623431320?mod=markets_lead_pos2\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://www.wsj.com/articles/amc-bet-by-hedge-fund-unravels-thanks-to-meme-stock-traders-11623431320?mod=markets_lead_pos2","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1104635261","content_text":"Losses by Mudrick Capital show the risks of exposure to meme stocks.\n\nA multipronged bet onAMC Entertainment HoldingsInc.AMC15.39%boomeranged this month on Mudrick Capital Management LP, the latest hedge fund to fall victim to swarming day traders.\nMudrick’s flagship fund lost about 10% in just a few days as a jump in AMC’s stock price unexpectedly triggered changes in the value of derivatives the fund held as part of a complex trading strategy, people familiar with the matter said.\nThe setback comes months after a group of traders organizing on social media helped send the price ofGameStopCorp.GME5.88%and other stocks soaring in January, well beyond many investors’ views of underlying fundamentals.\nThe development prompted many hedge funds to slash their exposure to meme stocks.

Other posts around that time referenced Mudrick as “losers,” “scum bags” and “a large waving pile of s—t with no future.” Members of the forum urged each other to buy and hold.\nInside Mudrick, executives were growing apprehensive as the AMC rally gained steam. The firm’s risk committee met on the evening of June 1 after the stock closed at $32 and decided to exit all debt and derivative positions the following day.\nIt was a day too late.\nAMC’s stock price blew past $40in a matter of hours June 2, hitting an intraday high of $72.62.Call option prices soaredamid a frenzy of trading that Mudrick Capital contributed to and, by the end of the week, the winning trade had turned into a bust, costing the fund hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. Mudrick Capital made a roughly 5% return on the debt it sold but after accounting for its options trade, the fund took a net loss of about 5.4% on AMC.\nMr. Mudrick’s fund is still up about 12% for the year, one of the people said. Meanwhile, investors who bought AMC stock at the start of the year and held on have gained about 2000%.\nThe impact of social media-fueled day traders has become a defining market development this year, costing top hedge funds billions of dollars in losses, sparking a congressional hearing anddrawing scrutinyfrom the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. More hedge funds now track individual investors’ sentiment on social media and pay greater attention to companies with smaller market values whose stock price may be more susceptible to the enthusiasms of individual investors.\nMr. Mudrick specializes in distressed debt investing, often lending to troubled companies at high interest rates or swapping their existing debt for equity in bankruptcy court. Mudrick manages about $3.5 billion in investments firmwide and holds large, illiquid stakes in E-cigarette maker NJOY Holdings Inc. and satellite communications companyGlobalstarInc.from such exchanges. The flagship fund reported returns of about 17% annually from 2018 to 2020, according to data from HSBC Alternative Investment Group.\nBut distressed investing opportunities have grownharder to findas easy money from the Federal Reserve has given even struggling companies open access to debt markets. Mr. Mudrick has explored other strategies, launching several special-purpose acquisition companiesand, in the case of AMC, ultimately buying stock in block trades.\nMr. Mudrick initially applied his typical playbook to AMC, buying bonds for as little as 20 cents on the dollar,lending the company $100 millionin December and swapping some bonds into new shares. Theater attendance, already under pressure, had disappeared almost entirely amid Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns, and AMC stock traded as low as $2. He reasoned that consumers would regain their appetite for big-screen entertainment this year as more Americans got vaccinated.\nDay traders took theirfirst run at AMC in late January, urging each other on with the social-media rallying cry of #SaveAMC and briefly lifting the stock to around $20. AMC’s rising equity value boosted debt prices—one bond Mudrick Capital owned doubled within a week—quickly rewarding Mr. Mudrick’s bullishness. AMC capitalized on its surging stock priceto raise nearly $1 billion in new financingin late January, enabling it to ward off a previously expected bankruptcy filing.\nAround that time, Mr. Mudrick sold call options on AMC stock, producing immediate income to offset potential losses if the theater chain did face problems. The derivatives gave buyers the option to buy AMC shares from Mudrick Capital for about $40—viewed as a seeming improbability when the stock was trading below $10.\nMr. Mudrick remained in contact with AMC Chief Executive Adam Aron about providing additional funding, leading to his recent share purchase. But he kept the derivative contracts outstanding as an insurance policy, one of the people familiar with the matter said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":208,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169807691,"gmtCreate":1623825458213,"gmtModify":1634027500442,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wish for the stars.

The e-commerce platform initially went public in December at $20 per share before surging to an all-time high of $32 in February due to a momentum-driven rally. That said, shares have steadily plunged ever since, hitting an all-time low of just $7 in June, but are now recovering swiftly after increased interest from the retail trading sector. Here, the stock is favored due to its high volatility, short interest, and enormous upside potential.</p>\n<p>In this context, I believe that the high short interest has increasingly pushed shares below fair value and that patient investors could soon see $20 or more again as the company is working through logistic challenges and will soon return to economies of scale. In this regard, the e-commerce platform has a unique value proposition and is well-positioned to gain market share in a $6 trillion e-commerce industry.</p>\n<p><b>The Digital Dollar Tree</b></p>\n<p>Wish has been criticized heavily as an e-commerce platform, and I would almost argue that its image of being a third-party 'dropshipping' site for Chinese merchants has kept investors away from the stock so far. However, this may only be partially true. Essentially, Wish has inverted Amazon's(NASDAQ:AMZN)business model through low-priced (low-quality) products and sluggish delivery times that may lead to week-long delivery times. This is because Wish does not handle shipping itself, which is why it can offer these ultra-low prices of offering a hoodie for $2 plus $2 shipping.</p>\n<p>Frankly, Wish is still dependent on Chinese merchants, accounting for most of its product catalogs. This is unsurprising, considering that most goods are produced in China as the production costs are among the lowest in the world. Most of the goods being sold on Amazon or eBay(NASDAQ:EBAY)were also produced in China, although they earn a higher perception due to one-day delivery shipping programs or higher prices.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2bea733440e86851af57559c6a5fd6bd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Now, I view Wish as the digital dollar tree, where online shoppers discover items that they want, not need. In the process, customers have more patience for products and are willing to wait longer for them to arrive. Wish is working towards addressing both of these issues (quality and merchant diversification) as its platform is gaining popularity. Here, it has been investing in logistics to offer quicker delivery, demonstrated by a 275% YoY increase in logistics revenue. Since these revenues provide low margins, its overall gross margins have decreased in accordance. However, once it achieves economies of scale in the segment, margin growth should reverse and trail back towards 70%.</p>\n<p>It is also addressing the second issue by continuously growing its international merchant base. Here, U.S. merchants increased by over 400% YoY, and a similar trend is to be seen in other countries. Moreover, it is growing Wish Local, a service connecting local businesses to the platform, accounting for 7% of all Wish orders. Wish local is mostly (or exclusively) available in the United States and thus increasingly mixes with other products on the website.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09eb88453d075db6b7b8edd21f981b4a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\"><span>Source: Sensor Tower</span></p>\n<p>I also like Wish's strategy to engage and retain users by utilizing an AI matching system that optimizes platform growth, user experience, and merchant return on investment. The strategy to create an interactive mobile shopping experience appears to be working well: Impressively, Wish gets over500,000reviews per day from users, surpassing even Amazon and other shopping sites in this regard, demonstrating just about how engaging the platform is. Around 80% of first-time shoppersreturnto buy again.</p>\n<p>Wish is, therefore, able to establish itself in the highly competitive E-commerce market that offers a tremendous runway for growth. Currently, around 40% of the E-commerce market share is owned just by Amazon. Compared to Amazon, its TAM may be limited as it concentrates on its lower-income niche, which is how it became popular in the first place. Still, this represents a +$3 trillion market opportunity for Wish to tap into. It is also worth noting that according toreports, Amazon tried to acquire Wish for $10 billion, yet Wish rejected, believing growing the business to $100 billion in annual sales, at which point it would be valued significantly higher.</p>\n<p><b>Negative Sentiment Baked In</b></p>\n<p>Wish's first two quarters have been slightly disappointing. While the company handily beat revenue estimates, the company burned through over $300 million in cash in order to invest in logistics.

This is totally fine unless it grows its active buyers through marketing, which unfortunately has not been the case. This is a red flag and questions the long-term sustainability of Wish's business model. However, the company has been close to being cash flow positive, and it stated it already would be profitable if it weren't for its extensive marketing expense. That said, as long as Wish acquires new MAUs and increases value through logistic services, its marketing expenses pay off in the long run. Moreover, as a percentage of total revenues, Wish's marketing expenses have dropped to 60%, down from 67% in the year prior.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3e18c23728274ee708d896923820b282\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"278\"><span>Source: Wish IR</span></p>\n<p>In terms of the outlook, this is what the company is essentially stressing. It believes marketing expenses can decrease to 40-45%, leading to EBITDA margins of 25% at the midpoint range. If it achieves these ambitious goals (which is very well possible), its profitability margins would be similar to those of eBay or MercadoLibre(NASDAQ:MELI). In either way, Wish's business model is not perfect, but all these concerns are more than baked in its current valuation, IMO (In My Opinion).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54029f94c37f301d26e93a11636280e7\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"470\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Even after the latest +50% rise, shares are still trailing far behind peers such as Poshmark(NASDAQ:POSH), eBay, Amazon, and (Shopify(NYSE:SHOP)). At over $3 billion estimated revenues, Wish is trading at just 1.8x Price to Sales, just half of eBay's current valuation and much lower than Poshmark. Current estimates are calling for over $6 billion in revenues by 2025 and $1 billion in free cash flow, meaning that Wish trades at just 7x free cash flow estimates, or 1 times sales. In early 2021, its P/S ratio stood closer to 5x, so there is potential for a valuation expansion.</p>\n<p><b>What about the Lawsuits?</b></p>\n<p>Perhaps you've seen the news (especially on Yahoo Finance) regarding the class actionlawsuits. These lawsuits are extensively posted to remind investors of recovering incurred losses after its share price dropped in recent months. Such lawsuits are not unusual when stocks drop sharply in a short period of time and are likely of no concern to investors. These lawsuits have also included companies such asCloverHealth(NASDAQ:CLOV), Skillz(NYSE:SKLZ), Array Technologies(NASDAQ:ARRY), etc.</p>\n<p>Short Interest - Still High</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/875b3fdaf74f1ef639b51d77a3aac01f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source: Fintel</span></p>\n<p>Wish has gained significant attraction from retail investors, as investors were looking for the next big short squeeze. Since most of Wish's shares have still been locked up, its exact short ratio was difficult to estimate. According to Seeking Alpha, the current short ratio stands at just 7%, but the figure is likely higher. Last week, its short interest as a percent of its equity float stood at roughly 48%, according to Bloomberg Terminal data. Other sources such as Fintel pin the current short volume at 20-30%. Now, it's difficult to give an exact estimate, but generally speaking, it's probably somewhere within this range, and many short calls are still to be covered. In the long term, the high-short interest could be an advantage, leading to a quicker acceleration if the stock begins trending upwards.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p>\n<p>I believe that Wish remains one of the most underappreciated assets within e-commerce, boasting over 100 million monthly users on its platform and connecting thousands of merchants from all over the world. The mobile shopping app continues to be one of the top downloaded shopping apps in the space and has a unique value proposition, which is smarter than it appears at first sight. Moreover, its latestpartnershipwith PrestaShop will give over 300,000 merchants free access to a direct integration that connects them directly to Wish's merchant dashboard, further driving growth. While there are risks to Wish's imperfect business model, such as lagging profitability, patient investors could be rewarded mightily.</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>Wish Stock: Patient Investors Could Soon See $20 Again</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\">\nWish Stock: Patient Investors Could Soon See $20 Again\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-16 13:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434950-wish-stock-patient-investors-could-soon-see-20-again><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nWish (ContextLogic) remains one of the most underappreciated assets within e-commerce trading at just 1.3x forward EV to Sales.\nWish's latest partnership with PrestaShop will further ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434950-wish-stock-patient-investors-could-soon-see-20-again\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434950-wish-stock-patient-investors-could-soon-see-20-again","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1148768572","content_text":"Summary\n\nWish (ContextLogic) remains one of the most underappreciated assets within e-commerce trading at just 1.3x forward EV to Sales.\nWish's latest partnership with PrestaShop will further accelerate international expansion and growth initiatives.\nWhile accurate data regarding its short interest is difficult to find as most of its float is still locked up, I estimate a short interest between 30-40%.\nI believe bear arguments including high marketing spend and stalling user numbers are already baked in the current share price.\n\nJuSun/iStock via Getty Images\nOverview\nContextLogic (WISH) has been a wild ride for shareholders, as high volatility continues to cause significant price movements in recent weeks.

Such lawsuits are not unusual when stocks drop sharply in a short period of time and are likely of no concern to investors. These lawsuits have also included companies such asCloverHealth(NASDAQ:CLOV), Skillz(NYSE:SKLZ), Array Technologies(NASDAQ:ARRY), etc.\nShort Interest - Still High\nSource: Fintel\nWish has gained significant attraction from retail investors, as investors were looking for the next big short squeeze. Since most of Wish's shares have still been locked up, its exact short ratio was difficult to estimate. According to Seeking Alpha, the current short ratio stands at just 7%, but the figure is likely higher. Last week, its short interest as a percent of its equity float stood at roughly 48%, according to Bloomberg Terminal data. Other sources such as Fintel pin the current short volume at 20-30%. Now, it's difficult to give an exact estimate, but generally speaking, it's probably somewhere within this range, and many short calls are still to be covered. In the long term, the high-short interest could be an advantage, leading to a quicker acceleration if the stock begins trending upwards.\nThe Bottom Line\nI believe that Wish remains one of the most underappreciated assets within e-commerce, boasting over 100 million monthly users on its platform and connecting thousands of merchants from all over the world. The mobile shopping app continues to be one of the top downloaded shopping apps in the space and has a unique value proposition, which is smarter than it appears at first sight. Moreover, its latestpartnershipwith PrestaShop will give over 300,000 merchants free access to a direct integration that connects them directly to Wish's merchant dashboard, further driving growth. While there are risks to Wish's imperfect business model, such as lagging profitability, patient investors could be rewarded mightily.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":114262484,"gmtCreate":1623075973348,"gmtModify":1631885131653,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Koss all the way","listText":"Koss all the way","text":"Koss all the way","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/114262484","repostId":"1134507398","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1134507398","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":1623074733,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1134507398?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-07 22:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"“Meme” stocks surged in morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1134507398","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(June 7) “Meme” stocks rose in morning trading.

But there are also fundamentally strong names where initiating a short position can be risky. These are the so called unshortable stocks.</p>\n<p>True,&nbsp;Short squeeze rallies have delivered multi-fold returns for investors.<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) is the recent case of a short squeeze rally. However, this does not change the fact that some stocks are worth going short. It’s very likely that AMC stock will witness an equally sharp correction.</p>\n<p>That’s not the case with unshortable stocks.</p>\n<p>My focus is on four unshortable stocks where short interest as a percentage of free float is approximately 1%. Two of these stocks trade near all-time highs. The other two are in a consolidation mode and there seems to be a high probability of a breakout on the upside.</p>\n<p>The reasons for these stocks being unshortable are strong fundamentals, high growth and strong cash flows. Additionally, there are ample positive business growth catalysts on the horizon.</p>\n<p>Let’s take a deeper look into the reasons that make these stocks unshortable.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Nvidia</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NVDA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Target</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TGT</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Nvidia (NVDA)</b></p>\n<p>NVDA stock is currently trading near 52-week highs. However, the short interest in the stock is just 1% of the free float. This is probably an indication of the point that NVDA stock is among the unshortable stocks.</p>\n<p>From a fundamental perspective, Nvidia has been on a high growth trajectory. For the first quarter of 2022, the company reported revenue growth of 84% to $5.66 billion. Growth was healthy in the gaming as well as data center segment.</p>\n<p>In addition, Nvidia reported&nbsp;operating cash flow of $1.9 billion for the quarter. This would imply an annualized operating cash flow of nearly $8 billion. The company has high financial flexibility to invest in innovation and pursue inorganic growth.</p>\n<p>In a recent news, Nvidia has asked&nbsp;Chinese regulators to approve the $40 billion acquisition&nbsp;of&nbsp;<b>Arm</b>. A possible approval in the coming quarters will ensure that the stock momentum remains positive.</p>\n<p>With focus on artificial intelligence, Nvidia has also made inroads in multiple industries. This includes AI chips and solutions for robotics, self-driving and healthcare, among others. Therefore, with multiple growth catalysts, NVDA stock remains attractive.</p>\n<p><b>Target (TGT)</b></p>\n<p>TGT stock is another name that I would include among unshortable stocks. The stock trades near all-time highs and looks good for further upside.</p>\n<p>UBS analyst Michael Lasser sees Target as “structurally improved as its strong positioning&nbsp;becomes even clearer in upcoming quarters.” Lasser has a price target of $265 for the stock.</p>\n<p>As the U.S. economy witnesses wider reopening, Target is positioned to benefit. According to Moody’s Analytics, Americans were holding&nbsp;$2.6 trillion in excess savings as of mid-April. The possibility of a post-pandemic consumption boom is likely to be good news for Target, among other retailers.</p>\n<p>Target has already been delivering stellar growth. For the first quarter, the company&nbsp;reported comparable sales growth of 22.9%&nbsp;on a year-on-year basis. Digital comparable sales growth was 50%.</p>\n<p>Clearly, Target is emerging from the pandemic with superior omni-channel capabilities. Initiatives such as order pick-up, drive-up and same-day shipment services are likely to ensure that comparable sales growth remains strong.</p>\n<p>From a financial perspective, Target reported cash flows of $1.1 billion for the quarter. With more than $4 billion in annualized cash flow visibility, dividend and share repurchase will continue.</p>\n<p>Overall, TGT stock looks attractive considering the growth momentum. With an impending spending boom, it might be best to avoid shorting the stock.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>SHOP stock seems to be trading at premium valuations. However, the stock has consolidated in the broad range of $1,000 to $1,200. Short interest is low and considering the company’s growth outlook, the stock is among the top unshortable stocks.</p>\n<p>For the first quarter, Shopify reported revenue growth of 110% on a year-over-year basis to $988.6 million. An important point to note is that&nbsp;monthly recurring revenue accelerated by 62% to $89.9 million. With sustained growth in monthly recurring revenue, the company is positioned for robust long-term cash flows.</p>\n<p>With the pandemic, e-commerce growth has accelerated globally. Shopify is likely to benefit from positive tailwinds in the coming years. It’s also worth noting that the company has&nbsp;expanded offerings for merchants. This includes Shopify Capital, Shopify Shipping and Shopify Plus. As merchants scale up, there is ample scope for revenue growth.</p>\n<p>As of March, Shopify reported $7.87 billion in cash and equivalents. As the company expands globally, there is ample financial flexibility to invest in platform upgrade and new merchant solutions. As an example, the company recently introduced Shopify POS offering to merchants.</p>\n<p>Overall, SHOP stock looks attractive with strong top-line growth and clear visibility for robust cash flows in the long-term.</p>\n<p><b>Apple (AAPL)</b></p>\n<p>AAPL stock is another name that too risky to bet against. The company has always surprised investors and it seems that the stock is positioned for a breakout after the current consolidation. With strong growth and a production innovation pipeline, it’s not surprising that short interest in AAPL stock is less than 1% of the free float.</p>\n<p>As I write,<i>Reuters</i>&nbsp;reports that Apple is in&nbsp;talks with Chinese manufacturers for a car battery factory&nbsp;in the U.S. The company seems to be gradually working towards its first electric vehicle. That’s likely to keep the markets excited.</p>\n<p>Apple has also witnessed&nbsp;strong growth in the wearables and services segment. Besides strong top-line growth, revenue is more diversified. At the same time, iPhone sales are likely to remain robust with 5G being a key growth driver.</p>\n<p>Apple’s cash glut also implies sustained value creation through share repurchase and possibly higher dividends. Of course, the cash buffer gives the company ample headroom to invest in product innovation and possible acquisitions.</p>\n<p>Overall, as strong growth sustains, it’s too risky to short AAPL stock. On the contrary, current levels look attractive for considering some long-term exposure.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>4 Unshortable Stocks That Are Too Risky to Bet Against</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\">\n4 Unshortable Stocks That Are Too Risky to Bet Against\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-14 09:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/06/4-unshortable-stocks-that-are-too-risky-to-bet-against/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>If you are thinking about shorting one of these companies, you're doing something wrong\nSource: Vladeep / Shutterstock.com\nThe markets are dealing with an army of investors who are after heavily ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/4-unshortable-stocks-that-are-too-risky-to-bet-against/\">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","TGT":"塔吉特","SHOP":"Shopify Inc","NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/4-unshortable-stocks-that-are-too-risky-to-bet-against/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1165811803","content_text":"If you are thinking about shorting one of these companies, you're doing something wrong\nSource: Vladeep / Shutterstock.com\nThe markets are dealing with an army of investors who are after heavily shorted stocks.

This would imply an annualized operating cash flow of nearly $8 billion. The company has high financial flexibility to invest in innovation and pursue inorganic growth.\nIn a recent news, Nvidia has asked Chinese regulators to approve the $40 billion acquisition of Arm. A possible approval in the coming quarters will ensure that the stock momentum remains positive.\nWith focus on artificial intelligence, Nvidia has also made inroads in multiple industries. This includes AI chips and solutions for robotics, self-driving and healthcare, among others. Therefore, with multiple growth catalysts, NVDA stock remains attractive.\nTarget (TGT)\nTGT stock is another name that I would include among unshortable stocks. The stock trades near all-time highs and looks good for further upside.\nUBS analyst Michael Lasser sees Target as “structurally improved as its strong positioning becomes even clearer in upcoming quarters.” Lasser has a price target of $265 for the stock.\nAs the U.S. economy witnesses wider reopening, Target is positioned to benefit. According to Moody’s Analytics, Americans were holding $2.6 trillion in excess savings as of mid-April. The possibility of a post-pandemic consumption boom is likely to be good news for Target, among other retailers.\nTarget has already been delivering stellar growth. For the first quarter, the company reported comparable sales growth of 22.9% on a year-on-year basis. Digital comparable sales growth was 50%.\nClearly, Target is emerging from the pandemic with superior omni-channel capabilities. Initiatives such as order pick-up, drive-up and same-day shipment services are likely to ensure that comparable sales growth remains strong.\nFrom a financial perspective, Target reported cash flows of $1.1 billion for the quarter. With more than $4 billion in annualized cash flow visibility, dividend and share repurchase will continue.\nOverall, TGT stock looks attractive considering the growth momentum. With an impending spending boom, it might be best to avoid shorting the stock.\nShopify (SHOP)\nSHOP stock seems to be trading at premium valuations. However, the stock has consolidated in the broad range of $1,000 to $1,200. Short interest is low and considering the company’s growth outlook, the stock is among the top unshortable stocks.\nFor the first quarter, Shopify reported revenue growth of 110% on a year-over-year basis to $988.6 million. An important point to note is that monthly recurring revenue accelerated by 62% to $89.9 million. With sustained growth in monthly recurring revenue, the company is positioned for robust long-term cash flows.\nWith the pandemic, e-commerce growth has accelerated globally. Shopify is likely to benefit from positive tailwinds in the coming years. It’s also worth noting that the company has expanded offerings for merchants. This includes Shopify Capital, Shopify Shipping and Shopify Plus. As merchants scale up, there is ample scope for revenue growth.\nAs of March, Shopify reported $7.87 billion in cash and equivalents. As the company expands globally, there is ample financial flexibility to invest in platform upgrade and new merchant solutions. As an example, the company recently introduced Shopify POS offering to merchants.\nOverall, SHOP stock looks attractive with strong top-line growth and clear visibility for robust cash flows in the long-term.\nApple (AAPL)\nAAPL stock is another name that too risky to bet against. The company has always surprised investors and it seems that the stock is positioned for a breakout after the current consolidation. With strong growth and a production innovation pipeline, it’s not surprising that short interest in AAPL stock is less than 1% of the free float.\nAs I write,Reuters reports that Apple is in talks with Chinese manufacturers for a car battery factory in the U.S. The company seems to be gradually working towards its first electric vehicle. That’s likely to keep the markets excited.\nApple has also witnessed strong growth in the wearables and services segment. Besides strong top-line growth, revenue is more diversified. At the same time, iPhone sales are likely to remain robust with 5G being a key growth driver.\nApple’s cash glut also implies sustained value creation through share repurchase and possibly higher dividends. Of course, the cash buffer gives the company ample headroom to invest in product innovation and possible acquisitions.\nOverall, as strong growth sustains, it’s too risky to short AAPL stock. On the contrary, current levels look attractive for considering some long-term exposure.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":188682847,"gmtCreate":1623432626689,"gmtModify":1634033212280,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please comment&nbsp;","listText":"Please comment&nbsp;","text":"Please comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/188682847","repostId":"1174648150","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174648150","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":1623421129,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1174648150?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-11 22:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Chinese education stocks fell again","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174648150","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(June 11) Gaotu fell over 7%, TAL Education Group was down about 4%, New Oriental Education fell abo","content":"<p>(June 11)&nbsp;Gaotu fell over 7%, TAL Education Group was down about 4%, New Oriental Education fell about 2%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19995de30a445296dd85511c627cc738\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"242\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

(BB.T), AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">$(AMC)$</a>, Nokia Corp. (NOKIA.HE) and GameStop Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GME\">$(GME)$</a>.)</p>\n<p><b>Short squeezes and meme stocks</b></p>\n<p>Traders looking to group together on social media to make quick killings by pushing up share prices of companies at early stages or those going through difficult times have been setting up short squeezes.</p>\n<p>Professional investors have traditionally short-sold shares of companies they believe will perform worse than most other investors or analysts expect. Shorting means borrowing a company's shares and selling them immediately, in the hope of buying them back at a lower price, returning them to the lender and pocketing the difference. If you simply buy a stock hoping it will go up, all you risk is the money you invest. You might get wiped out. But if you short a stock, your risk potential is unlimited. You never know how high the price might rise if you have gotten the trade wrong.</p>\n<p>\"Covering\" a short position is when you buy back the shares to return them to the investor who lent them to you. You are hoping to cover at a lower price than you sold the shares for, to make a profit.</p>\n<p>To have a short position, you need to have a margin account with a broker -- an account that lets you borrow to invest or trade. Because of the risk in taking a short position, if the share price goes against you (higher), your broker will keep increasing its collateral requirements. If you run out of cash as the price keeps rising, you will be forced to cover at a loss. That type of action among a large group of short-sellers pushes the price higher in a spiral -- a short squeeze.</p>\n<p><b>Six more meme stocks</b></p>\n<p>The action changes daily. On June 9, for example, shares of Clover Health Investments Corp. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLOV\">$(CLOV)$</a> fell 24% after rising 86% the day before. The stock is 36.6% sold short, according to FactSet.</p>\n<p>Read:Newest meme stock darling Clover Health is popping. Is the SEC watching?</p>\n<p>Here are the six additional meme stocks, following our initial group of eight , sorted by market capitalization as of the close on June 9:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45b4fabbee4e18ee1b473200ab3a7c4b\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"300\"></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies Inc.</a> (PLTR) provides a software platform used by government defense and intelligence agencies. It is the largest company on the list by market cap, but not by revenue, as you can see below. A year-to-date chart of its price performance shows how wild the meme-stock action can be:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d9a8e2dfc61b0e4ff70a8630193cecb\" tg-width=\"1259\" tg-height=\"1038\"></p>\n<p>Palantir's stock was up 3% for 2021 through June 9, but its market cap had increased by 26% because the company had been raising cash by selling additional shares to investors. The company's following as a meme stock seems to spring more from its growth prospects than from short interest, which peaked at 8.5% of shares available for sale, according to FactSet.</p>\n<p>Wendy's Co. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WEN\">$(WEN)$</a> is another meme stock whose addition to the group may be a bit confusing, as the stock isn't heavily shorted and the company is stable. Thornton McEnery dug into the action on June 8, which may have included confusion over Wendy's ticker symbol , when the stock rose 26%.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WISH\">ContextLogic Inc.</a> (WISH) is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of two stocks on the new list that have fallen this year. The mobile e-commerce company's stock opened below its initial public offering price before the IPO.</p>\n<p><b>Short interest</b></p>\n<p>Keeping the group in the same order, here are levels of short interest as percentages of available shares and in dollars:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0875b54168c760b950d250308eb5efd\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"390\"></p>\n<p>FactSet's data on short positions as a percentage of shares outstanding is updated twice a month. The data was updated overnight between June 9 and 10. The second update takes place around the 25th day of the month.</p>\n<p>Clover is the most heavily shorted stock on the list. Brad Lamensdorf, CEO of ActiveAlts in Westport, Conn., who runs long and short investment strategies, said previously that a short percentage \"over 30% to 40% is outrageously high.\" (Lamensdorf co-manages the AdvisorShares <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HDGE\">Ranger Equity Bear ETF</a> (HDGE), which is meant to be used as a hedging tool.)</p>\n<p>A high percentage of shares sold short makes a stock especially dangerous for the short-sellers, because it can increase the intensity of any short squeeze.</p>\n<p>We have shown the short interest as a percentage of market cap in order to provide context. Tesla Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">$(TSLA)$</a> is an excellent example to provide more context, because the company has such a large market capitalization of $576.8 billion. Only 5.16% of the shares are sold short, but that comes to $29.8 billion in short interest -- the most (in dollars) for any stock in the S&amp;P 500. Amazon.com Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">$(AMZN)$</a> ranks second for dollars of short interest in the benchmark index, with 1.09% of shares sold short, which comes to $18.1 billion in short interest for a company with a market cap of $1.66 trillion.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOEV\">Canoo Inc.</a> (GOEV) is the second-most heavily shorted stock listed above, at 29.5%. The electric-vehicle maker was formed on Dec. 21 through the merger of Canoo Holdings Ltd. and Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. Canoo expects to produce its first vehicle in mid-2022 in limited quantities, with \"serial production launching in 2023,\" according to its 10-K report filed on March 31.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLNE\">Clean Energy Fuels Corp</a>. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLNE.AU\">$(CLNE.AU)$</a> provides natural gas for use as an alternative to gasoline or diesel for fleets of vehicles. The stock is 6.58% sold-short, but has had a good run this year as the energy sector has recovered.</p>\n<p><b>Fundamentals</b></p>\n<p>We'll look back at sales results for this group of six meme stocks and then look ahead at sales estimates through 2023.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Looking back</b></li>\n</ul>\n<p>First, here's a comparison of annual sales, in millions of dollars for the past five reported fiscal years (where available):</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bcc4fbd762406f0684e991d289b8b760\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"392\"></p>\n<p>You can see clear growth paths in recent years for Palantir, Wendy's and ContextLogic, while Clean Energy Fuels had understandable challenges from lower natural gas prices in 2020.</p>\n<p>Clover was incorporated on Oct. 18, 2019. It hasn't yet reported annual revenue. For the first quarter, the company reported $200.3 million in sales, up from $165.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. Clover merged with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IPOC.U\">Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. III</a> (a SPAC) on Jan. 7.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Looking ahead -- sales</b></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Starting from a baseline of calendar 2021, here are sales estimates going out through 2023 among Wall Street analysts polled by FactSet:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37c11916067fb3829caff57a89cf17f0\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"380\"></p>\n<p>Double-digit or better sales growth is expected for all of the companies over the next two years except Wendy's. Price-to-sale ratios, based on closing share prices on June 9 and the 2023 estimates, are included. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 trades for 2.5 times its weighted aggregate consensus sales estimate for 2023.</p>\n<p><b>Looking ahead -- earnings</b></p>\n<p>Here are earnings-per-share estimates going out to 2023:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4cf06aa00f9303dda82b1c3f8cf34c21\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"500\"></p>\n<p>You might not have expected the EPS projections to be particularly useful, but they underscore how high these stocks are trading. The S&amp;P 500 trades for 18.4 times its consensus EPS estimate for 2023.</p>\n<p>The estimates show expected improvement for Palantir, if it manages to maintain its rapid sales growth.

Shorting means borrowing a company's shares and selling them immediately, in the hope of buying them back at a lower price, returning them to the lender and pocketing the difference.

Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”</blockquote><p>The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</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>Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public</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\">\nCoursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-30 17:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cedd6cbf23bbe97eaec389fb0773ed6","relate_stocks":{"COUR":"Coursera, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1163996400","content_text":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term.

The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":339,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169805115,"gmtCreate":1623825349137,"gmtModify":1634027502041,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Please like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Please like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169805115","repostId":"1178463933","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":310,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181291983,"gmtCreate":1623394803542,"gmtModify":1634033800626,"author":{"id":"3579898276440444","authorId":"3579898276440444","name":"maddiericola","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579898276440444","authorIdStr":"3579898276440444"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hodl hodl!&nbsp;","listText":"Hodl hodl!&nbsp;","text":"Hodl hodl!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/181291983","repostId":"2142278359","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142278359","pubTimestamp":1623382532,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2142278359?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-11 11:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Investors Hit Sell Button amid Meme-Stock Meltdown","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142278359","media":"FX Empire","summary":"Meme stocks are having a tough day, and AMC Entertainment is among the hardest-hit names.

The Wall Street consensus number is closer to 825,000.\nDelaney rates shares Buy and has an $860 price target.\nNew production ramping up, strong deliveries, and a growing solar business is what these three will watch for in coming months.
