Web Services (AWS) controlled 32% of that market in the third quarter of 2021, according to Canalys.

But which tech giant is the better cloud play, as well as the stronger all-around investment?</p>\n<h2>The differences between Microsoft and Amazon</h2>\n<p>Microsoft and Amazon started out in very different places. Microsoft had traditionally generated most of its revenue from on-premise software before Satya Nadella, who took over as the company's third CEO in 2014, adopted a \"mobile first, cloud first\" mantra and aggressively expanded Azure, Office 365, Dynamics, and its other cloud-based services.</p>\n<p>Under Nadella, Microsoft's annualized commercialized revenue rose from just 14% of its revenue in fiscal 2016 to 41% in fiscal 2021. Microsoft leveraged the strength of its on-premise software business to tether more businesses -- particularly retailers that competed against Amazon and didn't want to support AWS -- to its cloud services.</p>\n<p>Amazon, which still generates most of its revenue from its online marketplaces, launched AWS in 2002. However, it only started breaking out AWS' revenue and operating profits in 2015. That's when investors realized that AWS generated much higher-margin revenue than its retail business.</p>\n<p>Last year, AWS generated just 12% of Amazon's revenue but raked in 59% of its operating profits. AWS' higher-margin business enables Amazon to expand its retail segment and Prime ecosystem with lower-margin strategies, which arguably makes it the bedrock of its entire business.</p>\n<p>That's why Jeff Bezos, who vacated the CEO position earlier this year, handed the reins to Andy Jassy, the former chief of AWS.</p>\n<h2>Which tech giant is growing faster?</h2>\n<p>The pandemic generated headwinds for Microsoft while stirring up some tailwinds for Amazon. For Microsoft, the pandemic throttled the growth of its enterprise-facing software businesses as large companies shut down. However, it partly offset that slowdown with the expansion of its cloud, Surface, and Xbox gaming businesses as more people worked remotely and stayed at home.</p>\n<p>But for Amazon, the pandemic boosted its online sales while generating strong demand for its cloud-based services. Its expenses surged as it spent billions of dollars on COVID-19 safety measures, but its soaring revenue easily offset that temporary pressure on its operating margins.</p>\n<p>Microsoft should generate more stable growth in a post-pandemic market than Amazon because its growth wasn't pulled forward too much. However, Amazon will likely face much tougher year-over-year comparisons:</p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"612\">\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <th width=\"199\"><p>Revenue Growth (YOY)</p></th>\n   <th width=\"115\"><p>Previous FY</p></th>\n   <th width=\"120\"><p>Current FY</p></th>\n   <th width=\"120\"><p>Next FY</p></th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <td width=\"199\"><p><b>Amazon</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"115\"><p>38%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>22%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>18%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n   <td width=\"199\"><p><b>Microsoft</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"115\"><p>18%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>17%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"120\"><p>14%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo Finance, Dec. 22.

These better-than-feared results helped power both the S&amp;P 500 and Dow to fresh record highs in the past week.</p>\n<p>As of Friday, about 23% of S&amp;P 500 companies had reported actual results for the third quarter. Of these, 84% topped Wall Street's expectations for earnings per share (EPS), according to data from FactSet. And the estimated earnings growth rate for the S&amp;P 500 stood at 32.7%, based on actual results and expectations for companies still yet to report. If maintained through the end of third-quarter earnings season, that would mark the third-highest earnings growth rate posted for the index since 2010.</p>\n<p>Given the string of stronger-than-expected results posted so far, this week's docket of reports has a heightened bar to clear.</p>\n<p>And that's especially set to be the case for the Big Tech companies, including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Most of these far outperformed the market last year, but have seen their stock gains cool so far in 2021 amid concerns over rising interest rates, chip shortages, and slowing growth after a surge in online media usage and demand for software during the height of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Despite the near-term challenges, however, some strategists have struck an upbeat tone on the technology sector as a whole.</p>\n<p>\"While the chip shortage will be a major conversation piece for tech investors during tech earnings season and clearly be an overhang, we believe the Street will instead look through any near-term disruption and focus on the underlying healthy demand drivers into 2022 which look robust,\" said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note last week.</p>\n<p>A number of the closely watched technology companies that reported last week posted results that disappointed investors or highlighted the lingering impact of these myriad concerns. Snap (SNAP), the parent company of the disappearing photo-sharing platform app Snapchat, offered a current-quarter forecast that fell short of expectations, with supply chain challenges for its advertiser customer base and privacy-related changes to Apple's iOS operating system weighing on sales and profits.</p>\n<p>The weak guidance sent Snap's stock down by 27% on Friday for its biggest single-day drop on record, and dragged down shares of other ad-driven companies including Facebook, Pinterest (PINS), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> (TWTR) and Alphabet.</p>\n<p>In July, Facebook had already flagged an early impact from Apple's iOS privacy update, which allows users to better control how apps track them. Facebook Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said during the company's second-quarter earnings call that the company expected \"increased ad targeting headwinds in 2021 from regulatory and platform changes, notably the recent iOS updates\" and expected these \"to have a more significant impact in the third quarter compared to the second.\"</p>\n<p>Still, the social media juggernaut's top-line growth is expected to climb by another 37% in the third quarter of last year to reach a fresh quarterly record of $29.45 billion. Still, this pace of growth would mark a step down from the second quarter's 56% year-on-year growth rate.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8eabca01b374d68a08a259419cd3c55\" tg-width=\"5327\" tg-height=\"3596\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>An illustration picture taken in London on December 18, 2020 shows the logos of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft displayed on a mobile phone and a laptop screen. - (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP) (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images)JUSTIN TALLIS via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>For peer ad-driven company Alphabet, a pickup in travel among consumers may help fuel the company's core Google Search business even in the face of other ad-industry headwinds. Both Snap and American Express (AXP) last week highlighted a pickup they were witnessing in consumer travel behavior and out-of-the-home spending in their third-quarter earnings releases and calls.</p>\n<p>\"Lost in the noise, SNAP also highlighted opportunity driven by travel budgets returning, which is a positive read through to GOOGL’s general search business,\" Daniel Salmon, BMO Capital Markets internet and media analyst, wrote in a note on Friday.</p>\n<p>Ongoing semiconductor shortages and supply-related issues also dealt a blow to other tech companies. Tesla (TSLA) said in its earnings report last week that, \"A variety of challenges, including semiconductor shortages, congestion at ports and rolling blackouts, have been impacting our ability to keep factories running at full speed.\"</p>\n<p>And reports earlier this month from Bloomberg suggested Apple was likely to cut its iPhone 13 production targets by as many as 10 million units amid chip shortages. The company, however, is still expected to post still-solid revenue growth of 21%, bringing sales to $84.67 billion as consumer demand for the latest smartphones remained resilient, especially in the U.S. and China.</p>\n<p>Rounding out this tech-heavy earnings week will be Amazon (AMZN), which posts quarterly results alongside Apple on Thursday after market close. The company has lagged the market since last reporting earnings in late July, falling 7.3% since July 29 versus a 2.9% gain in the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<p>Investors have been especially cautious on Amazon given widespread supply chain constraints, rising labor costs and fears that e-commerce sales and Amazon Web Services growth could slow after a pandemic-induced surge. Amazon shares had climbed by 76% in 2020, and the stock was the second-best FAANG performer after Apple that year.</p>\n<p>\"Concerns across top line, bottom line, and broader macro have collectively driven cautious sentiment into year-end,\" wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth in a note last Thursday. \"However, we believe there is still significant secular shift toward e-commerce ahead and Amazon has a very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities.\"</p>\n<p>\"Macro issues related to supply chain, port congestion, and inventory are well-documented and have intensified into the holiday season, driving concerns that delays could impact timing of AMZN receiving 1P/3P [first-party and third-party seller] inventory and certain items could remain out-of-stock,\" he added. \"Overall, we believe AMZN embedded some degree of disruption into the 3Q guide and we believe AMZN scaled inventory in anticipation of greater 2H demand.\"</p>\n<p>In late July, Amazon said it expected third-quarter net sales to total $106 billion to $112 billion, missing consensus expectations at the time. Wall Street analysts now expected to see Amazon post third-quarter sales of $111.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 16%, or its slowest since early 2015.</p>\n<h2>Economic calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Chicago Fed National Activity Index, September (0.2 expected, 0.29 in August); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (6.2 expected, 4.6 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, August (1.5% expected, 1.4% in July); S&amp;P <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLGX\">CoreLogic</a> Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, month-over-month, August (1.44% expected, 1.55% in July); S&amp;P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, year-over-year, August (20.00% expected, 19.95% in July); New Home Sales, month-over-month, September (756,000 expected, 740,000 in August); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, October (108.5 expected, 109.2 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Wednesday: </b>MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Oct. 22 (-6.3% during prior week); Advance Goods Trade Balance, September (-$88.3 billion expected, -$87.6 billion in August); Wholesale Inventories, month-over-month, September preliminary (1.0% expected, 1.2% in August); Durable Goods Orders, September preliminary (-1.0% expected, 1.8% in August); Durable Goods Orders, excluding transportation, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.3% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.6% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.8% in August)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Thursday: </b>Initial jobless claims, week ended Oct. 23 (292,000 expected, 290,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Oct. 16 (2.420 million expected, 2.481 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate annualized (2.7% expected, 6.7% in Q2); Personal consumption, Q3 first estimate (0.7% expected, 12.0% in Q2); Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate (4.4% expected, 6.1% in Q2); Pending home sales, September (0.6% expected, 8.1% in August); Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (19 expected, 22 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Friday: </b>Personal income, September (-0.2% expected, 0.2% in August); Personal spending, September (0.6% expected, 0.8% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures Core Deflator, month-over-moth, September (0.2% expected, 0.3% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Deflator, year-over-year, September (3.7% expected, 3.6% in August): MNI Chicago PMI, October (64.0 expected, 64.7 in September); University of Michigan Sentiment, October final (71.4 expected, 71.4 in September)</p></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Earnings calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Kimberly-Clark Corp.

These better-than-feared results helped power both the S&P 500 and Dow to fresh record highs in the past week.\nAs of Friday, about 23% of S&P 500 companies had reported actual results for the third quarter. Of these, 84% topped Wall Street's expectations for earnings per share (EPS), according to data from FactSet. And the estimated earnings growth rate for the S&P 500 stood at 32.7%, based on actual results and expectations for companies still yet to report. If maintained through the end of third-quarter earnings season, that would mark the third-highest earnings growth rate posted for the index since 2010.\nGiven the string of stronger-than-expected results posted so far, this week's docket of reports has a heightened bar to clear.\nAnd that's especially set to be the case for the Big Tech companies, including Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Most of these far outperformed the market last year, but have seen their stock gains cool so far in 2021 amid concerns over rising interest rates, chip shortages, and slowing growth after a surge in online media usage and demand for software during the height of the pandemic.\nDespite the near-term challenges, however, some strategists have struck an upbeat tone on the technology sector as a whole.\n\"While the chip shortage will be a major conversation piece for tech investors during tech earnings season and clearly be an overhang, we believe the Street will instead look through any near-term disruption and focus on the underlying healthy demand drivers into 2022 which look robust,\" said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note last week.\nA number of the closely watched technology companies that reported last week posted results that disappointed investors or highlighted the lingering impact of these myriad concerns. Snap (SNAP), the parent company of the disappearing photo-sharing platform app Snapchat, offered a current-quarter forecast that fell short of expectations, with supply chain challenges for its advertiser customer base and privacy-related changes to Apple's iOS operating system weighing on sales and profits.\nThe weak guidance sent Snap's stock down by 27% on Friday for its biggest single-day drop on record, and dragged down shares of other ad-driven companies including Facebook, Pinterest (PINS), Twitter (TWTR) and Alphabet.\nIn July, Facebook had already flagged an early impact from Apple's iOS privacy update, which allows users to better control how apps track them. Facebook Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said during the company's second-quarter earnings call that the company expected \"increased ad targeting headwinds in 2021 from regulatory and platform changes, notably the recent iOS updates\" and expected these \"to have a more significant impact in the third quarter compared to the second.\"\nStill, the social media juggernaut's top-line growth is expected to climb by another 37% in the third quarter of last year to reach a fresh quarterly record of $29.45 billion. Still, this pace of growth would mark a step down from the second quarter's 56% year-on-year growth rate.\nAn illustration picture taken in London on December 18, 2020 shows the logos of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft displayed on a mobile phone and a laptop screen. - (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP) (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images)JUSTIN TALLIS via Getty Images\nFor peer ad-driven company Alphabet, a pickup in travel among consumers may help fuel the company's core Google Search business even in the face of other ad-industry headwinds. Both Snap and American Express (AXP) last week highlighted a pickup they were witnessing in consumer travel behavior and out-of-the-home spending in their third-quarter earnings releases and calls.\n\"Lost in the noise, SNAP also highlighted opportunity driven by travel budgets returning, which is a positive read through to GOOGL’s general search business,\" Daniel Salmon, BMO Capital Markets internet and media analyst, wrote in a note on Friday.\nOngoing semiconductor shortages and supply-related issues also dealt a blow to other tech companies. Tesla (TSLA) said in its earnings report last week that, \"A variety of challenges, including semiconductor shortages, congestion at ports and rolling blackouts, have been impacting our ability to keep factories running at full speed.\"\nAnd reports earlier this month from Bloomberg suggested Apple was likely to cut its iPhone 13 production targets by as many as 10 million units amid chip shortages. The company, however, is still expected to post still-solid revenue growth of 21%, bringing sales to $84.67 billion as consumer demand for the latest smartphones remained resilient, especially in the U.S. and China.\nRounding out this tech-heavy earnings week will be Amazon (AMZN), which posts quarterly results alongside Apple on Thursday after market close. The company has lagged the market since last reporting earnings in late July, falling 7.3% since July 29 versus a 2.9% gain in the S&P 500.\nInvestors have been especially cautious on Amazon given widespread supply chain constraints, rising labor costs and fears that e-commerce sales and Amazon Web Services growth could slow after a pandemic-induced surge. Amazon shares had climbed by 76% in 2020, and the stock was the second-best FAANG performer after Apple that year.\n\"Concerns across top line, bottom line, and broader macro have collectively driven cautious sentiment into year-end,\" wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth in a note last Thursday. \"However, we believe there is still significant secular shift toward e-commerce ahead and Amazon has a very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities.\"\n\"Macro issues related to supply chain, port congestion, and inventory are well-documented and have intensified into the holiday season, driving concerns that delays could impact timing of AMZN receiving 1P/3P [first-party and third-party seller] inventory and certain items could remain out-of-stock,\" he added. \"Overall, we believe AMZN embedded some degree of disruption into the 3Q guide and we believe AMZN scaled inventory in anticipation of greater 2H demand.\"\nIn late July, Amazon said it expected third-quarter net sales to total $106 billion to $112 billion, missing consensus expectations at the time. Wall Street analysts now expected to see Amazon post third-quarter sales of $111.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 16%, or its slowest since early 2015.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Chicago Fed National Activity Index, September (0.2 expected, 0.29 in August); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (6.2 expected, 4.6 in September)\nTuesday: FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, August (1.5% expected, 1.4% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, month-over-month, August (1.44% expected, 1.55% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, year-over-year, August (20.00% expected, 19.95% in July); New Home Sales, month-over-month, September (756,000 expected, 740,000 in August); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, October (108.5 expected, 109.2 in September)\nWednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Oct. 22 (-6.3% during prior week); Advance Goods Trade Balance, September (-$88.3 billion expected, -$87.6 billion in August); Wholesale Inventories, month-over-month, September preliminary (1.0% expected, 1.2% in August); Durable Goods Orders, September preliminary (-1.0% expected, 1.8% in August); Durable Goods Orders, excluding transportation, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.3% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.6% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.8% in August)\nThursday: Initial jobless claims, week ended Oct. 23 (292,000 expected, 290,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Oct. 16 (2.420 million expected, 2.481 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate annualized (2.7% expected, 6.7% in Q2); Personal consumption, Q3 first estimate (0.7% expected, 12.0% in Q2); Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate (4.4% expected, 6.1% in Q2); Pending home sales, September (0.6% expected, 8.1% in August); Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (19 expected, 22 in September)\nFriday: Personal income, September (-0.2% expected, 0.2% in August); Personal spending, September (0.6% expected, 0.8% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures Core Deflator, month-over-moth, September (0.2% expected, 0.3% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Deflator, year-over-year, September (3.7% expected, 3.6% in August): MNI Chicago PMI, October (64.0 expected, 64.7 in September); University of Michigan Sentiment, October final (71.4 expected, 71.4 in September)\n\nEarnings calendar\n\nMonday: Kimberly-Clark Corp.

Brent, the global oil benchmark, recently touched $85 a barrel, while WTI, the U.S. oil price benchmark, is just a couple of dollars behind. Crude prices are pushing levels not seen since 2014.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Oil could have further to run. Soaring coal and&nbsp;natural gas&nbsp;prices are forcing power producers in Asia to burn oil, further tightening global supplies.</p>\n<p>The potential for even higher oil prices means oil companies could produce even bigger cash windfalls. Three oil companies positioned to cash in on this market are&nbsp;<b>ConocoPhillips</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:COP),&nbsp;<b>Devon Energy</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:DVN), and&nbsp;<b>Pioneer Natural Resources</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:PXD). Here's why that makes them great oil stocks to consider buying in the current environment.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/efa46b1b23a84d17461457779462d280\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"465\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Enhancing an already strong plan</h2>\n<p>ConocoPhillips built a huge cash war chest in recent years, positioning it to take advantage of opportunities in the oil market. The first <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> arose last year as it acquired Concho Resources amid the market turmoil to enhance its low-cost position in the oil-rich Permian Basin. The $9.7 billion all-stock deal reduced its average cost of supply below $30 WTI.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the company recently took advantage of another opportunity. Global energy giant <b>Royal Dutch</b> <b>Shell</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:RDS.A)(NYSE:RDS.B) is transitioning away from oil due to climate change concerns. Because of that, it put its Permian Basin assets up for sale, which ConocoPhillips scooped up for $9.5 billion in cash. That's a dirt-cheap price since the assets were on track to produce $1.9 billion in free cash flow over the next year based on the oil price outlook when it announced the deal last month. With oil continuing to rise, they could produce even more cash.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>That acquisition will enhance ConocoPhillips' operating plan, which was already on track to produce a whopping $70 billion in free cash flow through 2030, assuming that oil prices average $50 a barrel. With crude well over that level, ConocoPhillips could produce an even bigger gusher. It intends to use those funds to repay debt, grow its dividend, and&nbsp;repurchase shares, all of which should create additional value for its shareholders.</p>\n<h2>A growing dividend gusher</h2>\n<p>Devon Energy also took advantage of last year's oil market turmoil to make a needle-moving acquisition, merging with WPX Energy in a $12 billion deal. That combination reduced its costs so that Devon could fund its business at $33 WTI this year. Because of that low cost, Devon also launched the industry's first fixed-plus-variable dividend program to return more of its free cash flow to investors.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>With oil prices rising, Devon Energy's&nbsp;dividend payments have become bigger.

Brent, the global oil benchmark, recently touched $85 a barrel, while WTI, the U.S. oil price benchmark, is just a couple of dollars behind. Crude prices are pushing levels not seen since 2014. \nOil could have further to run. Soaring coal and natural gas prices are forcing power producers in Asia to burn oil, further tightening global supplies.\nThe potential for even higher oil prices means oil companies could produce even bigger cash windfalls. Three oil companies positioned to cash in on this market are ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN), and Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD). Here's why that makes them great oil stocks to consider buying in the current environment.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nEnhancing an already strong plan\nConocoPhillips built a huge cash war chest in recent years, positioning it to take advantage of opportunities in the oil market. The first one arose last year as it acquired Concho Resources amid the market turmoil to enhance its low-cost position in the oil-rich Permian Basin. The $9.7 billion all-stock deal reduced its average cost of supply below $30 WTI. \nMeanwhile, the company recently took advantage of another opportunity. Global energy giant Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A)(NYSE:RDS.B) is transitioning away from oil due to climate change concerns. Because of that, it put its Permian Basin assets up for sale, which ConocoPhillips scooped up for $9.5 billion in cash. That's a dirt-cheap price since the assets were on track to produce $1.9 billion in free cash flow over the next year based on the oil price outlook when it announced the deal last month. With oil continuing to rise, they could produce even more cash. \nThat acquisition will enhance ConocoPhillips' operating plan, which was already on track to produce a whopping $70 billion in free cash flow through 2030, assuming that oil prices average $50 a barrel. With crude well over that level, ConocoPhillips could produce an even bigger gusher. It intends to use those funds to repay debt, grow its dividend, and repurchase shares, all of which should create additional value for its shareholders.\nA growing dividend gusher\nDevon Energy also took advantage of last year's oil market turmoil to make a needle-moving acquisition, merging with WPX Energy in a $12 billion deal. That combination reduced its costs so that Devon could fund its business at $33 WTI this year. Because of that low cost, Devon also launched the industry's first fixed-plus-variable dividend program to return more of its free cash flow to investors.  \nWith oil prices rising, Devon Energy's dividend payments have become bigger. In addition to its base quarterly dividend rate of $0.11 per share, Devon has paid out additional dividends of $0.19, $0.23, and $0.38 per share over the last three quarters. \nThe variable payments will likely continue rising. Devon only realized $50.34 per barrel for its oil during the second quarter because its oil hedges cost it $13.29 per barrel. With those lower-priced hedges about to expire, Devon's cash flow should keep rising even if crude prices cool off. It plans to pay out up to 50% of its free cash flow via variable dividends each quarter, suggesting investors could continue reaping a windfall. \nAccelerating the plan\nPioneer Natural Resources also took advantage of the oil market turmoil to bolster its oil business over the past year. It acquired Parsley Energy in a $7.6 billion deal last October and spent $6.4 billion to purchase DoublePoint Energy this April. Both transactions increased its scale in the Permian Basin, which helped reduce its costs so that it can produce more oil for less money. \nPioneer's initial plan was to start returning some of its growing free cash flow to shareholders next year by adopting a similar dividend framework as Devon. However, booming oil prices drove Pioneer to accelerate its variable dividend program by declaring its first additional payment in August. At $1.51 per share, it was almost triple its base dividend of $0.51 per share. With oil prices rallying and Pioneer's cost-saving initiatives starting to deliver results, that payout could continue growing in the coming quarters.  \nCashing in on higher crude oil prices\nConocoPhillips, Devon Energy, and Pioneer Natural Resources took advantage of last year's oil market turbulence to bolster their oil businesses by making needle-moving acquisitions.

That's why it's so important to pay attention to what those profit margins do going forward and what the trajectory of GDP looks like,\" said Eric Marshall, portfolio manager at Hodges Funds.\n\"Investors will be paying very close attention to pricing power, how companies are dealing with labor shortages and inflationary cost pressures within their business.\"\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 198.7 points, or 0.56%, to 35,457.31, the S&P 500 gained 33.17 points, or 0.74%, to 4,519.63 and the Nasdaq Composite added 107.28 points, or 0.71%, to 15,129.09.\nTen of the eleven major S&P 500 sectors closed higher, with healthcare stocks, up 1.3% after dropping 0.7% in Monday's session. The next biggest gainer was utilities , which rose 1.26% after falling almost 1% Monday.\nNetflix Inc, after closing up 0.2%, declined to gains while the bell when quarterly results showed that global interest in Korean thriller \"Squid Game\" lured more new customers than expected.\nTesla Inc, which closed down 0.7%, is due to release results on Wednesday, with investors watching for indications of its performance in China.\nProcter & Gamble Co, fell 1% during the session, after it warned that it would have to raise prices of some products to counter higher commodity and freight costs.\nHowever, Walmart Inc shares added 2% after being added to Goldman Sachs \"Americas Conviction List.\"\nHelping the healthcare sector on Tuesday was drugmaker Merck & Co Inc, which rose 3% while Pfizer Inc climbed 1.9% following the release of a competitor's COVID-19 drug study results.\nIts competitor, Atea Pharmaceuticals Inc, fell 66% after the company's antiviral pill, being developed with Roche , failed to help patients with mild and moderate COVID-19.\nAdvancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.51-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.69-to-1 ratio favored advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted 44 new 52-week highs and 1 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 72 new highs and 69 new lows.\nOn U.S. exchanges 9.5 billion shares changed hands compared with the 10.29 billion moving average for the last 20 sessions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":408,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":850185249,"gmtCreate":1634565273436,"gmtModify":1634565618970,"author":{"id":"3580277282698634","authorId":"3580277282698634","name":"andyxuxu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a30f921c64ba2753d2092237249b1d0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/D05.SI\">$DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$</a>all the way","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/D05.SI\">$DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$</a>all the way","text":"$DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$all the way","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d254d4b5ef8e5dfb7d3174a0134bf39","width":"1080","height":"2172"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/850185249","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":691,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":846417747,"gmtCreate":1636104594506,"gmtModify":1636104594556,"author":{"id":"3580277282698634","authorId":"3580277282698634","name":"andyxuxu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a30f921c64ba2753d2092237249b1d0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/846417747","repostId":"1136116425","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1136116425","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":1636104081,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1136116425?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-05 17:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Daylight Saving Time Ends on Sunday, Nov.7 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1136116425","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Dear Tigers, U.S. Daylight Saving Time Ends on Sunday, Nov.7 2021,at 2:00 a.m.\nAt that time,the regu","content":"<p>Dear Tigers, U.S. Daylight Saving Time Ends on Sunday, Nov.7 2021,at 2:00&nbsp;a.m.</p>\n<p>At that time,the regular trading period of the US stock market will move toward by one hour, which will become 22:30 p.m.to 5:00 a.m（Beijing Time/SGT）. </p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e441a1a98d5230fc31d6f1652e577bde\" tg-width=\"674\" tg-height=\"365\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Trading Hours</b></p>\n<p>U.S.&nbsp;Eastern Time:9:30 ~ 16:00;

These better-than-feared results helped power both the S&amp;P 500 and Dow to fresh record highs in the past week.</p>\n<p>As of Friday, about 23% of S&amp;P 500 companies had reported actual results for the third quarter. Of these, 84% topped Wall Street's expectations for earnings per share (EPS), according to data from FactSet. And the estimated earnings growth rate for the S&amp;P 500 stood at 32.7%, based on actual results and expectations for companies still yet to report. If maintained through the end of third-quarter earnings season, that would mark the third-highest earnings growth rate posted for the index since 2010.</p>\n<p>Given the string of stronger-than-expected results posted so far, this week's docket of reports has a heightened bar to clear.</p>\n<p>And that's especially set to be the case for the Big Tech companies, including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Most of these far outperformed the market last year, but have seen their stock gains cool so far in 2021 amid concerns over rising interest rates, chip shortages, and slowing growth after a surge in online media usage and demand for software during the height of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Despite the near-term challenges, however, some strategists have struck an upbeat tone on the technology sector as a whole.</p>\n<p>\"While the chip shortage will be a major conversation piece for tech investors during tech earnings season and clearly be an overhang, we believe the Street will instead look through any near-term disruption and focus on the underlying healthy demand drivers into 2022 which look robust,\" said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note last week.</p>\n<p>A number of the closely watched technology companies that reported last week posted results that disappointed investors or highlighted the lingering impact of these myriad concerns. Snap (SNAP), the parent company of the disappearing photo-sharing platform app Snapchat, offered a current-quarter forecast that fell short of expectations, with supply chain challenges for its advertiser customer base and privacy-related changes to Apple's iOS operating system weighing on sales and profits.</p>\n<p>The weak guidance sent Snap's stock down by 27% on Friday for its biggest single-day drop on record, and dragged down shares of other ad-driven companies including Facebook, Pinterest (PINS), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> (TWTR) and Alphabet.</p>\n<p>In July, Facebook had already flagged an early impact from Apple's iOS privacy update, which allows users to better control how apps track them. Facebook Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said during the company's second-quarter earnings call that the company expected \"increased ad targeting headwinds in 2021 from regulatory and platform changes, notably the recent iOS updates\" and expected these \"to have a more significant impact in the third quarter compared to the second.\"</p>\n<p>Still, the social media juggernaut's top-line growth is expected to climb by another 37% in the third quarter of last year to reach a fresh quarterly record of $29.45 billion. Still, this pace of growth would mark a step down from the second quarter's 56% year-on-year growth rate.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8eabca01b374d68a08a259419cd3c55\" tg-width=\"5327\" tg-height=\"3596\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>An illustration picture taken in London on December 18, 2020 shows the logos of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft displayed on a mobile phone and a laptop screen. - (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP) (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images)JUSTIN TALLIS via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>For peer ad-driven company Alphabet, a pickup in travel among consumers may help fuel the company's core Google Search business even in the face of other ad-industry headwinds. Both Snap and American Express (AXP) last week highlighted a pickup they were witnessing in consumer travel behavior and out-of-the-home spending in their third-quarter earnings releases and calls.</p>\n<p>\"Lost in the noise, SNAP also highlighted opportunity driven by travel budgets returning, which is a positive read through to GOOGL’s general search business,\" Daniel Salmon, BMO Capital Markets internet and media analyst, wrote in a note on Friday.</p>\n<p>Ongoing semiconductor shortages and supply-related issues also dealt a blow to other tech companies. Tesla (TSLA) said in its earnings report last week that, \"A variety of challenges, including semiconductor shortages, congestion at ports and rolling blackouts, have been impacting our ability to keep factories running at full speed.\"</p>\n<p>And reports earlier this month from Bloomberg suggested Apple was likely to cut its iPhone 13 production targets by as many as 10 million units amid chip shortages. The company, however, is still expected to post still-solid revenue growth of 21%, bringing sales to $84.67 billion as consumer demand for the latest smartphones remained resilient, especially in the U.S. and China.</p>\n<p>Rounding out this tech-heavy earnings week will be Amazon (AMZN), which posts quarterly results alongside Apple on Thursday after market close. The company has lagged the market since last reporting earnings in late July, falling 7.3% since July 29 versus a 2.9% gain in the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<p>Investors have been especially cautious on Amazon given widespread supply chain constraints, rising labor costs and fears that e-commerce sales and Amazon Web Services growth could slow after a pandemic-induced surge. Amazon shares had climbed by 76% in 2020, and the stock was the second-best FAANG performer after Apple that year.</p>\n<p>\"Concerns across top line, bottom line, and broader macro have collectively driven cautious sentiment into year-end,\" wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth in a note last Thursday. \"However, we believe there is still significant secular shift toward e-commerce ahead and Amazon has a very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities.\"</p>\n<p>\"Macro issues related to supply chain, port congestion, and inventory are well-documented and have intensified into the holiday season, driving concerns that delays could impact timing of AMZN receiving 1P/3P [first-party and third-party seller] inventory and certain items could remain out-of-stock,\" he added. \"Overall, we believe AMZN embedded some degree of disruption into the 3Q guide and we believe AMZN scaled inventory in anticipation of greater 2H demand.\"</p>\n<p>In late July, Amazon said it expected third-quarter net sales to total $106 billion to $112 billion, missing consensus expectations at the time. Wall Street analysts now expected to see Amazon post third-quarter sales of $111.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 16%, or its slowest since early 2015.</p>\n<h2>Economic calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Chicago Fed National Activity Index, September (0.2 expected, 0.29 in August); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (6.2 expected, 4.6 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, August (1.5% expected, 1.4% in July); S&amp;P <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLGX\">CoreLogic</a> Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, month-over-month, August (1.44% expected, 1.55% in July); S&amp;P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, year-over-year, August (20.00% expected, 19.95% in July); New Home Sales, month-over-month, September (756,000 expected, 740,000 in August); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, October (108.5 expected, 109.2 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Wednesday: </b>MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Oct. 22 (-6.3% during prior week); Advance Goods Trade Balance, September (-$88.3 billion expected, -$87.6 billion in August); Wholesale Inventories, month-over-month, September preliminary (1.0% expected, 1.2% in August); Durable Goods Orders, September preliminary (-1.0% expected, 1.8% in August); Durable Goods Orders, excluding transportation, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.3% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.6% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.8% in August)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Thursday: </b>Initial jobless claims, week ended Oct. 23 (292,000 expected, 290,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Oct. 16 (2.420 million expected, 2.481 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate annualized (2.7% expected, 6.7% in Q2); Personal consumption, Q3 first estimate (0.7% expected, 12.0% in Q2); Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate (4.4% expected, 6.1% in Q2); Pending home sales, September (0.6% expected, 8.1% in August); Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (19 expected, 22 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Friday: </b>Personal income, September (-0.2% expected, 0.2% in August); Personal spending, September (0.6% expected, 0.8% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures Core Deflator, month-over-moth, September (0.2% expected, 0.3% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Deflator, year-over-year, September (3.7% expected, 3.6% in August): MNI Chicago PMI, October (64.0 expected, 64.7 in September); University of Michigan Sentiment, October final (71.4 expected, 71.4 in September)</p></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Earnings calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Kimberly-Clark Corp.

These better-than-feared results helped power both the S&P 500 and Dow to fresh record highs in the past week.\nAs of Friday, about 23% of S&P 500 companies had reported actual results for the third quarter. Of these, 84% topped Wall Street's expectations for earnings per share (EPS), according to data from FactSet. And the estimated earnings growth rate for the S&P 500 stood at 32.7%, based on actual results and expectations for companies still yet to report. If maintained through the end of third-quarter earnings season, that would mark the third-highest earnings growth rate posted for the index since 2010.\nGiven the string of stronger-than-expected results posted so far, this week's docket of reports has a heightened bar to clear.\nAnd that's especially set to be the case for the Big Tech companies, including Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Most of these far outperformed the market last year, but have seen their stock gains cool so far in 2021 amid concerns over rising interest rates, chip shortages, and slowing growth after a surge in online media usage and demand for software during the height of the pandemic.\nDespite the near-term challenges, however, some strategists have struck an upbeat tone on the technology sector as a whole.\n\"While the chip shortage will be a major conversation piece for tech investors during tech earnings season and clearly be an overhang, we believe the Street will instead look through any near-term disruption and focus on the underlying healthy demand drivers into 2022 which look robust,\" said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note last week.\nA number of the closely watched technology companies that reported last week posted results that disappointed investors or highlighted the lingering impact of these myriad concerns. Snap (SNAP), the parent company of the disappearing photo-sharing platform app Snapchat, offered a current-quarter forecast that fell short of expectations, with supply chain challenges for its advertiser customer base and privacy-related changes to Apple's iOS operating system weighing on sales and profits.\nThe weak guidance sent Snap's stock down by 27% on Friday for its biggest single-day drop on record, and dragged down shares of other ad-driven companies including Facebook, Pinterest (PINS), Twitter (TWTR) and Alphabet.\nIn July, Facebook had already flagged an early impact from Apple's iOS privacy update, which allows users to better control how apps track them. Facebook Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said during the company's second-quarter earnings call that the company expected \"increased ad targeting headwinds in 2021 from regulatory and platform changes, notably the recent iOS updates\" and expected these \"to have a more significant impact in the third quarter compared to the second.\"\nStill, the social media juggernaut's top-line growth is expected to climb by another 37% in the third quarter of last year to reach a fresh quarterly record of $29.45 billion. Still, this pace of growth would mark a step down from the second quarter's 56% year-on-year growth rate.\nAn illustration picture taken in London on December 18, 2020 shows the logos of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft displayed on a mobile phone and a laptop screen. - (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP) (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images)JUSTIN TALLIS via Getty Images\nFor peer ad-driven company Alphabet, a pickup in travel among consumers may help fuel the company's core Google Search business even in the face of other ad-industry headwinds. Both Snap and American Express (AXP) last week highlighted a pickup they were witnessing in consumer travel behavior and out-of-the-home spending in their third-quarter earnings releases and calls.\n\"Lost in the noise, SNAP also highlighted opportunity driven by travel budgets returning, which is a positive read through to GOOGL’s general search business,\" Daniel Salmon, BMO Capital Markets internet and media analyst, wrote in a note on Friday.\nOngoing semiconductor shortages and supply-related issues also dealt a blow to other tech companies. Tesla (TSLA) said in its earnings report last week that, \"A variety of challenges, including semiconductor shortages, congestion at ports and rolling blackouts, have been impacting our ability to keep factories running at full speed.\"\nAnd reports earlier this month from Bloomberg suggested Apple was likely to cut its iPhone 13 production targets by as many as 10 million units amid chip shortages. The company, however, is still expected to post still-solid revenue growth of 21%, bringing sales to $84.67 billion as consumer demand for the latest smartphones remained resilient, especially in the U.S. and China.\nRounding out this tech-heavy earnings week will be Amazon (AMZN), which posts quarterly results alongside Apple on Thursday after market close. The company has lagged the market since last reporting earnings in late July, falling 7.3% since July 29 versus a 2.9% gain in the S&P 500.\nInvestors have been especially cautious on Amazon given widespread supply chain constraints, rising labor costs and fears that e-commerce sales and Amazon Web Services growth could slow after a pandemic-induced surge. Amazon shares had climbed by 76% in 2020, and the stock was the second-best FAANG performer after Apple that year.\n\"Concerns across top line, bottom line, and broader macro have collectively driven cautious sentiment into year-end,\" wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth in a note last Thursday. \"However, we believe there is still significant secular shift toward e-commerce ahead and Amazon has a very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities.\"\n\"Macro issues related to supply chain, port congestion, and inventory are well-documented and have intensified into the holiday season, driving concerns that delays could impact timing of AMZN receiving 1P/3P [first-party and third-party seller] inventory and certain items could remain out-of-stock,\" he added. \"Overall, we believe AMZN embedded some degree of disruption into the 3Q guide and we believe AMZN scaled inventory in anticipation of greater 2H demand.\"\nIn late July, Amazon said it expected third-quarter net sales to total $106 billion to $112 billion, missing consensus expectations at the time. Wall Street analysts now expected to see Amazon post third-quarter sales of $111.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 16%, or its slowest since early 2015.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Chicago Fed National Activity Index, September (0.2 expected, 0.29 in August); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (6.2 expected, 4.6 in September)\nTuesday: FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, August (1.5% expected, 1.4% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, month-over-month, August (1.44% expected, 1.55% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, year-over-year, August (20.00% expected, 19.95% in July); New Home Sales, month-over-month, September (756,000 expected, 740,000 in August); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, October (108.5 expected, 109.2 in September)\nWednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Oct. 22 (-6.3% during prior week); Advance Goods Trade Balance, September (-$88.3 billion expected, -$87.6 billion in August); Wholesale Inventories, month-over-month, September preliminary (1.0% expected, 1.2% in August); Durable Goods Orders, September preliminary (-1.0% expected, 1.8% in August); Durable Goods Orders, excluding transportation, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.3% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.6% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.8% in August)\nThursday: Initial jobless claims, week ended Oct. 23 (292,000 expected, 290,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Oct. 16 (2.420 million expected, 2.481 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate annualized (2.7% expected, 6.7% in Q2); Personal consumption, Q3 first estimate (0.7% expected, 12.0% in Q2); Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate (4.4% expected, 6.1% in Q2); Pending home sales, September (0.6% expected, 8.1% in August); Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (19 expected, 22 in September)\nFriday: Personal income, September (-0.2% expected, 0.2% in August); Personal spending, September (0.6% expected, 0.8% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures Core Deflator, month-over-moth, September (0.2% expected, 0.3% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Deflator, year-over-year, September (3.7% expected, 3.6% in August): MNI Chicago PMI, October (64.0 expected, 64.7 in September); University of Michigan Sentiment, October final (71.4 expected, 71.4 in September)\n\nEarnings calendar\n\nMonday: Kimberly-Clark Corp.

Both stocks are still solid long-term investments, but I feel much more confident in Microsoft's near- to mid-term growth potential.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":330,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":856191878,"gmtCreate":1635157926535,"gmtModify":1635157926653,"author":{"id":"3580277282698634","authorId":"3580277282698634","name":"andyxuxu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a30f921c64ba2753d2092237249b1d0d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/856191878","repostId":"2178425301","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2178425301","pubTimestamp":1635155580,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2178425301?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-25 17:53","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"HSBC plans to buy back up to US$2 billion in shares, beats estimates with higher pre-tax profit","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2178425301","media":"South China Morning Post","summary":"HSBC, the biggest of Hong Kong's three currency-issuing banks, said it would buy back US$2 billion i","content":"<p>HSBC, the biggest of Hong Kong's three currency-issuing banks, said it would buy back US$2 billion in shares as its third-quarter profit beat analysts' estimates, driven in part by release of reserves set aside for soured loans.</p>\n<p>The lender, which is based in London, but generates much of its revenue in Asia, suspended dividends and buy-backs last year at the request of its United Kingdom-based regulator, the Prudential Regulation Authority.

The first <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> arose last year as it acquired Concho Resources amid the market turmoil to enhance its low-cost position in the oil-rich Permian Basin. The $9.7 billion all-stock deal reduced its average cost of supply below $30 WTI.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the company recently took advantage of another opportunity. Global energy giant <b>Royal Dutch</b> <b>Shell</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:RDS.A)(NYSE:RDS.B) is transitioning away from oil due to climate change concerns. Because of that, it put its Permian Basin assets up for sale, which ConocoPhillips scooped up for $9.5 billion in cash. That's a dirt-cheap price since the assets were on track to produce $1.9 billion in free cash flow over the next year based on the oil price outlook when it announced the deal last month. With oil continuing to rise, they could produce even more cash.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>That acquisition will enhance ConocoPhillips' operating plan, which was already on track to produce a whopping $70 billion in free cash flow through 2030, assuming that oil prices average $50 a barrel. With crude well over that level, ConocoPhillips could produce an even bigger gusher. It intends to use those funds to repay debt, grow its dividend, and&nbsp;repurchase shares, all of which should create additional value for its shareholders.</p>\n<h2>A growing dividend gusher</h2>\n<p>Devon Energy also took advantage of last year's oil market turmoil to make a needle-moving acquisition, merging with WPX Energy in a $12 billion deal. That combination reduced its costs so that Devon could fund its business at $33 WTI this year. Because of that low cost, Devon also launched the industry's first fixed-plus-variable dividend program to return more of its free cash flow to investors.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>With oil prices rising, Devon Energy's&nbsp;dividend payments have become bigger. In addition to its base quarterly dividend rate of $0.11 per share, Devon has paid out additional dividends of $0.19, $0.23, and $0.38 per share over the last three quarters.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The variable payments will likely continue rising. Devon only realized $50.34 per barrel for its oil during the second quarter because its oil hedges cost it $13.29 per barrel. With those lower-priced hedges about to expire, Devon's cash flow should keep rising even if crude prices cool off. It plans to pay out up to 50% of its free cash flow via variable dividends each quarter, suggesting investors could continue reaping a windfall. </p>\n<h2>Accelerating the plan</h2>\n<p>Pioneer Natural Resources also took advantage of the oil market turmoil to bolster its oil business over the past year. It acquired <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PE\">Parsley Energy</a> in a $7.6 billion deal last October and spent $6.4 billion to purchase DoublePoint Energy this April. Both transactions increased its scale in the Permian Basin, which helped reduce its costs so that it can produce more oil for less money.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Pioneer's initial plan was to start returning some of its growing free cash flow to shareholders next year by adopting a similar dividend framework as Devon. However, booming oil prices drove Pioneer to accelerate its variable dividend program by declaring its first additional payment in August. At $1.51 per share, it was almost triple its base dividend of $0.51 per share. With oil prices rallying and Pioneer's cost-saving initiatives starting to deliver results, that payout could continue growing in the coming quarters.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Cashing in on higher crude oil prices</h2>\n<p>ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy, and Pioneer Natural Resources took advantage of last year's oil market turbulence to bolster their oil businesses by making needle-moving acquisitions. Those deals boosted their oil production while reducing costs, positioning all three to generate more cash flow. Because of that, they're cashing in on higher oil prices these days.
