Net sales growth versus last year was primarily driven by an increase inBed Bath & Beyondbanner sales.</li>\n <ul>\n <li>Net sales included planned reductions of 24% from non-core banner divestitures.</li>\n </ul>\n <li>Comparable3sales increased 86% compared to the prior year period, which excludes the impact of the Company's fleet optimization activity. Compared to 2019 fiscal first quarter, total enterprise comparable sales increased 3%, driven by digital sales growth of 84%.</li>\n <ul>\n <li>Comparable3sales included an estimated 13% impact from fleet optimization activity when compared to the fiscal 2020 first quarter.</li>\n </ul>\n <li>Bed Bath & Beyondbanner sales increased 96% compared to the prior year period as the Company had a significant number of stores closed during the 2020 fiscal first quarter at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.</li>\n <ul>\n <li>Bed Bath & Beyondbanner sales were driven by growth in its key destination categories, which includes Bedding, Bath,Kitchen Food Prep,Indoor Decor and Home Organization. In total, these categories delivered strong sales growth of more than 100% compared to the 2020 fiscal first quarter and growth of 7% on a comparable sales basis versus the 2019 fiscal first quarter. These categories represented approximately two-thirds of totalBed Bath & Beyondbanner sales in the first quarter.</li>\n </ul>\n <li>The buybuy BABY banner continued to deliver positive sales growth with net sales increasing more than 20% compared to the 2020 fiscal first quarter, and an increase of low-single digits on a comparable sales basis versus the 2019 fiscal first quarter. Comparable sales were driven by more than 50% growth in digital.</li>\n <li>Gross margin was 32.4% for the quarter. Excluding special items from both periods, adjusted2gross margin increased 820 basis points to 34.9%, primarily driven by a favorable product mix from Owned Brand launches as well as a more normalized mix of digital sales coupled with a strong recovery in store sales growth.</li>\n <li>SG&A expense, on both a GAAP and adjusted basis, decreased significantly compared to the prior year period, primarily due to cost reductions including divestitures of non-core assets and lower rent and occupancy expenses on more efficient stores. This was partially offset by incremental marketing investments to support the Company's \"Home, Happier\" campaign as well as the initial launches of the Company's Owned Brands.</li>\n <li>Adjusted2EBITDA for the period improved to$86 millioncompared to last year, primarily due to higher sales and adjusted2gross margin expansion, which were partially offset by incremental marketing investments to support the Company's \"Home, Happier\" campaign as well as the initial launches of the Company's Owned Brands.</li>\n <li>Net loss per diluted share of$0.48includes approximately$56 millionfrom special items. Excluding special items, adjusted2net earnings per diluted share was$0.05. Special items reflect charges such as non-cash impairments related to certain store-level assets and tradenames, loss on sale of businesses, loss on the extinguishment of debt, and charges recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring and transformation initiatives. Restructuring and transformation initiatives includes accelerated markdowns and inventory reserves related to the planned assortment transition to Owned Brands and costs associated with store closures related to the Company's fleet optimization, and the income tax impact of these items.</li>\n <li>As expected, operating cash flow usage of$28 millionwas in-line with historical first quarter seasonality and working capital needs. Accordingly, free cash flow5was an investment of$102 millionas a result of$74 millionof planned capital expenditures in connection with store remodels, supply chain and IT systems.</li>\n <li>Inventory reduced by approximately$110 millioncompared to the end of fiscal 2020, was primarily related to seasonal selling and product transitions in preparation for the introduction of the Company's Owned Brands, as well as store closures related to the Company's fleet optimization activity.</li>\n <li>$130 millionin capital return to shareholders through share repurchases.</li>\n <li>Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments balance were approximately$1.2 billion.</li>\n <li>Total Liquidity4was approximately$1.9 billion, including the Company's asset based revolving credit facility.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b><u>Guidance Outlook</u></b></p>\n<p>As a reminder,Net Salesthroughout fiscal 2021 include the Company's Core1businesses and reflects planned reductions related to the Company's store fleet optimization activity.</p>\n<p><u>Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Outlook</u></p>\n<p>The Company expects fiscal 2021 second quarterNet Salesof between$2.04 billionto$2.08 billion, which only reflects sales from the Company's Core1businesses. Net Salesalso includes planned sales reductions from the Company's store fleet optimization program of approximately 9% to 10%. On a Comparable Sales basis, the Company expects to achieve growth in the low-single digit range compared to the prior year period.</p>\n<p>The Company expects to achieve Adjusted2Gross Margin in the range of 35% to 36%. This represents a sequential improvement versus the 2021 fiscal first quarter primarily driven by continued assortment curation and a higher penetration of the Company's Owned Brands. Additionally, this guidance reflects the on-going, year-over-year impact of higher, industry-wide freight costs.</p>\n<p>The Company expects Adjusted2EBITDA between $150 millionto$160 millionand Adjusted2EPS in the range of$0.48to$0.55for the fiscal 2021 second quarter.</p>\n<p><u>Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook</u></p>\n<p>Based on strong performance in the fiscal first quarter and current expectations for the fiscal second quarter, the Company is raising its fiscal year 2021 guidance outlook.</p>\n<p>The Company now expects higher fiscal year 2021 Net Sales of$8.2 billionto$8.4 billionfrom$8.0 billionto$8.2 billion. The Company is raising comparable sales expectations for the second through fourth quarters of fiscal 2021 to the Low-Single Digit growth range versus its previously communicated guidance outlook for Flat comparable sales growth. This compares to the Company's robust sales performance during the second through fourth quarters of fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>The Company is also increasing its Adjusted2EBITDA guidance to a range of$520 millionto$540 millionfrom$500 millionto$525 millionand re-introduces a full fiscal year 2021 Adjusted2EPS range of$1.40to$1.55.</p>\n<p>The Company is reaffirming its previously issued guidance for Adjusted2Gross Margin of approximately 35% and Adjusted2SG&A of approximately 31%.</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>Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.

But even if a full-blown crash doesn't happen and a more modest correction takes place instead, that could still lead to significant losses for investors with expensive stocks in their portfolios. By paying attention to fundamentals and ensuring you aren't holding any stocks that are wildly overvalued, you can reduce your risk.</p>\n<p>Three stocks I would consider selling today are <b>Shockwave Medical </b>(NASDAQ:SWAV), <b>Peloton </b>(NASDAQ:PTON), and <b>Snap </b>(NYSE:SNAP). While they've all done well over the past 12 months and have outperformed the <b>S&P 500</b>, there could be tougher times ahead for these companies.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a428385363a66df0dbd08bd021098d5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Shockwave Medical</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HCSG\">Healthcare</a> company Shockwave Medical uses shockwaves to break up calcium deposits. The company's catheters can help in situations where blood flow is restricted. And earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the company's shockwave pressure wave therapy the green light to treat advanced heart disease. It's an exciting opportunity for the business, because experts say calcification can present a serious obstacle for physicians when doing angioplasty procedures -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that current tools may not be able to overcome.</p>\n<p>But despite the potential growth opportunities ahead for the business, the stock may just be too expensive of a buy right now. For the first three months of 2021, sales of $31.9 million weren't even enough to cover the company's operating expenses of $41.5 million. While the year-over-year revenue growth of 110% was impressive, it's still hard to justify the $6.4 billion valuation, which puts Shockwave Medical's stock at a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of more than 73. By comparison, the average stock in the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> trades at just 11 times its revenue, and those are holdings that possess high growth potential.</p>\n<p>Unless you are willing to hold Shockwave Medical for the very long term, a safer bet may be to leave it on a watchlist for now and wait for it to fall in price. In the meantime, there are plenty of other value buys that may be safer to hold right now.</p>\n<h3>2. Peloton</h3>\n<p>Peloton was a popular stay-at-home stock for investors to hold during the pandemic, as consumers weren't able to visit the gym and instead opted for the company's bikes and treadmills. But bad press (involving a recall after a treadmill accident led to the death of a child) combined with investors' general move toward stocks that will do well upon reopenings to leave Peloton's stock in a tailspin; year to date, its shares are down more than 22% while the S&P 500 has risen by 17%.</p>\n<p>However, even with the decline in share price, the stock is still incredibly expensive given the business' underwhelming numbers. While Peloton is profitable, its profit margin over the trailing 12 months is just less than 6%, and two of the past five quarters have been in the red. Its price-to-earnings multiple is more than 140, which is obscene by any comparison. And with a P/S multiple of 10, it's not terribly cheap on that metric, either.</p>\n<p>My concern is that the company's growth rate could start to decline as people go back to gyms, and that could make staying out of the red a challenge in future quarters. Workers are also quitting their jobs at record levels, and that could put those consumers' finances in disarray, at least in the short term. The loss of a job (voluntary or not) could make buying a $1,000-plus bike just not that much of a priority anymore -- and it may not look nearly as affordable.</p>\n<p>Unless you have an incredibly rosy outlook for Peloton (which I don't), there's simply not much of a reason to buy the stock at its hefty valuation.</p>\n<h3>3. Snap</h3>\n<p>Snap is coming off a great second quarter in which it continued to do well even amid reopenings. The social media company behind Snapchat reported that its daily active users topped 293 million, up 23% year over year. Its revenue for the period ending June 30 totaled $982 million, more than double the $454 million that Snap reported a year ago, thanks largely to enhancements to its augmented reality platform. Its net loss of $152 million was also cut in half. Snap projects that its revenue will rise next quarter as well, but at a more modest rate between 58% and 60%.</p>\n<p>The company is doing many things well, and solid user growth in this period -- when people have been less glued to their phones than during lockdowns -- is an impressive feat. But with Snap's stock rising more than 230% over the past year (the S&P 500 is up just 35%), its valuation has gotten out of control.

But even if a full-blown crash doesn't happen and a more modest correction takes place instead, that could still lead to significant losses for investors with expensive stocks in their portfolios. By paying attention to fundamentals and ensuring you aren't holding any stocks that are wildly overvalued, you can reduce your risk.\nThree stocks I would consider selling today are Shockwave Medical (NASDAQ:SWAV), Peloton (NASDAQ:PTON), and Snap (NYSE:SNAP). While they've all done well over the past 12 months and have outperformed the S&P 500, there could be tougher times ahead for these companies.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Shockwave Medical\nHealthcare company Shockwave Medical uses shockwaves to break up calcium deposits. The company's catheters can help in situations where blood flow is restricted. And earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the company's shockwave pressure wave therapy the green light to treat advanced heart disease. It's an exciting opportunity for the business, because experts say calcification can present a serious obstacle for physicians when doing angioplasty procedures -- one that current tools may not be able to overcome.\nBut despite the potential growth opportunities ahead for the business, the stock may just be too expensive of a buy right now. For the first three months of 2021, sales of $31.9 million weren't even enough to cover the company's operating expenses of $41.5 million. While the year-over-year revenue growth of 110% was impressive, it's still hard to justify the $6.4 billion valuation, which puts Shockwave Medical's stock at a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of more than 73. By comparison, the average stock in the ARK Innovation ETF trades at just 11 times its revenue, and those are holdings that possess high growth potential.\nUnless you are willing to hold Shockwave Medical for the very long term, a safer bet may be to leave it on a watchlist for now and wait for it to fall in price. In the meantime, there are plenty of other value buys that may be safer to hold right now.\n2. Peloton\nPeloton was a popular stay-at-home stock for investors to hold during the pandemic, as consumers weren't able to visit the gym and instead opted for the company's bikes and treadmills. But bad press (involving a recall after a treadmill accident led to the death of a child) combined with investors' general move toward stocks that will do well upon reopenings to leave Peloton's stock in a tailspin; year to date, its shares are down more than 22% while the S&P 500 has risen by 17%.\nHowever, even with the decline in share price, the stock is still incredibly expensive given the business' underwhelming numbers. While Peloton is profitable, its profit margin over the trailing 12 months is just less than 6%, and two of the past five quarters have been in the red. Its price-to-earnings multiple is more than 140, which is obscene by any comparison. And with a P/S multiple of 10, it's not terribly cheap on that metric, either.\nMy concern is that the company's growth rate could start to decline as people go back to gyms, and that could make staying out of the red a challenge in future quarters. Workers are also quitting their jobs at record levels, and that could put those consumers' finances in disarray, at least in the short term. The loss of a job (voluntary or not) could make buying a $1,000-plus bike just not that much of a priority anymore -- and it may not look nearly as affordable.\nUnless you have an incredibly rosy outlook for Peloton (which I don't), there's simply not much of a reason to buy the stock at its hefty valuation.\n3. Snap\nSnap is coming off a great second quarter in which it continued to do well even amid reopenings. The social media company behind Snapchat reported that its daily active users topped 293 million, up 23% year over year. Its revenue for the period ending June 30 totaled $982 million, more than double the $454 million that Snap reported a year ago, thanks largely to enhancements to its augmented reality platform. Its net loss of $152 million was also cut in half. Snap projects that its revenue will rise next quarter as well, but at a more modest rate between 58% and 60%.\nThe company is doing many things well, and solid user growth in this period -- when people have been less glued to their phones than during lockdowns -- is an impressive feat. But with Snap's stock rising more than 230% over the past year (the S&P 500 is up just 35%), its valuation has gotten out of control. Today, Snap trades at a P/S multiple of 33, well above the average stock in the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, where the P/S average is less than 7.\nThe stock certainly has potential if it can keep adding users and driving this level of revenue growth, but even management is forecasting some softness ahead in its top line. It wasn't until the pandemic that shares of Snap really took off, and there's no doubt the company benefited from stay-at-home trends. I'm just not optimistic that it can keep up its impressive numbers heading into the fall, when students go back to school and life potentially goes back to how it was before the pandemic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":145927759,"gmtCreate":1626187078771,"gmtModify":1633929239355,"author":{"id":"3584774305529798","authorId":"3584774305529798","authorIdStr":"3584774305529798","name":"Epsjnr","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fd798b067ea5271c2a8dd1229378368","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584774305529798"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/145927759","repostId":"2151981561","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2151981561","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1626186840,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2151981561?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-13 22:34","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"An inflation storm is coming for the U.S. housing market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151981561","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Some economists suggest the government may be misunderstanding the size of the problem\nFast-rising h","content":"<p>Some economists suggest the government may be misunderstanding the size of the problem</p>\n<p>Fast-rising housing costs have helped cause the largest increase in inflation since 2008.

For an owner-occupied unit, the cost of shelter is the implicit rent that owner occupants would have to pay if they were renting their homes,\" the bureau adds.</p>\n<p>The government pollsters ask homeowners: \"If someone were to rent your home today, how much do you think it would rent for monthly, unfurnished and without utilities?\"</p>\n<p>And they ask renters: \"What is the rental charge to your [household] for this unit including any extra charges for garage and parking facilities? Do not include direct payments by local, state or federal agencies. What period of time does this cover?\"</p>\n<p>Housing isn't like other goods</p>\n<p>\"The rate of house price appreciation is not akin to inflation,\" said Mark Fleming, chief economist at title insurance company First American Financial Services FAF (#phrase-company?ref=COMPANY%7CFAF;onlineSignificance=prominent).</p>\n<p>For a start, housing is a very basic necessity. \"Demand for shelter doesn't go away -- it just moves around,\" Fleming said. In other words, if the price of airfares surges 2.7%, as it did over the past month, families could decide against going on that summer getaway.</p>\n<p>That choice isn't so simple when it comes to housing. As the cost of shelter increases it can have a \"cascading effect on extremely low-income renters,\" said Andrew Aurand, vice president for research at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.</p>\n<p>Research from Aurand's organization has shown that more than 9.2 million \"extremely low-income\" renters are cost burdened by their housing, meaning they spent more than a third of their income on shelter-related expenses. Many of these households spend upwards of 50% on housing, leaving little money behind for other purchases.</p>\n<p>The alternative for these households would be losing the roof over their heads. In recent years, that has become the reality for many Americans. A 2019 study released by the Trump administration estimated that more than 500,000 people sleep outdoors each night across the country, while many more couch surf or utilize shelters for unhoused people.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, for people who own their homes, buying a property isn't the same as buying, say, a banana. Owning that banana won't benefit you financially in the long-run, whereas with a house you can expect to see its value increase and to profit off that. But a home isn't a pure investment asset like a stock -- it's a mix of both.</p>\n<p>Home prices can rise both because the actual structure itself may be worth more -- thanks to the rising cost of labor and lumber -- but also because people see value in it as a capital investment.</p>\n<p>As a result, there can be a mismatch in the way economists or government statistician view rising home prices, and what that means to a consumer.</p>\n<p>\"In a market environment where prices are rising so quickly to buy a home the economist would say that's the increase in the price of the capital good,\" said Robert Dietz, chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders. \"But to the buyer, it represents a higher cost of living.\"</p>\n<p>Why housing inflation is different</p>\n<p>People experience inflation vis-à-vis housing differently to most other products, and that makes it a challenging to measure.</p>\n<p>For the typical homeowner, their housing costs likely haven't changed too much over the past year.</p>\n<p>\"If you have a fixed mortgage, on your home, year over year, how much does your cost of living in that home change? Not very much,\" Fleming said. \"The only things that change year over year are your escrows for taxes and insurance.\"</p>\n<p>Even with renters, the price of housing doesn't shift higher or lower from month to month. That's why the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects housing data more infrequently than most other items in the CPI basket of goods.</p>\n<p>For renters and buyers, you encounter the changing cost when something about your living arrangement changed: When you move to a new home, sign a new lease or refinance your mortgage.</p>\n<p>But Americans do need to know how much housing costs are rising or falling -- not the least of which because residential real-estate makes up such a huge portion of the nation's economy.</p>\n<p>The government's Consumer Price Index calculates the \"imputed rent\" -- essentially the amount a homeowner is paying for their housing rather than paying a landlord.</p>\n<p>If it did not do so, GDP would actually fall, Dietz said, \"because money that would be a rental payment in the marketplace paid by a renter suddenly disappears.\"</p>\n<p>To bridge this challenge, the government relies on survey data to produce its estimates of housing costs for renters and homeowners. In renters' cases, they are simply asked how much they pay for housing.</p>\n<p>But owners aren't asked what their mortgage payment is -- after all, not everyone has a mortgage. Instead, that's why they are asked to estimate how much they would be able to charge for rent to lease out their current home.</p>\n<p>Government statisticians survey the same cohort of Americans periodically to produce their findings and track changes over time to estimate housing costs.</p>\n<p>\"Inflation and [changes in] housing prices have generally been matched up,\" said Jonathan Needell, President and Chief Investment Officer of KIMC, a private real-estate investment company. He added that rising housing prices has \"exceeded inflation in some circumstances.\"</p>\n<p>Some researchers have argued, however, that this approach can also understate and/or be slow to identify true inflation occurring in the housing market.</p>\n<p>A new analysis showed that there is typically a lag between when home prices are actually rising, and when that price growth is reflected in inflation reports like the consumer price index.</p>\n<p>The role played by COVID-19</p>\n<p>The shifts in housing preferences and needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has also complicated our ability to gauge the effect of inflation in the housing market.</p>\n<p>Wealthier Americans, many of whom suddenly found themselves able to work remotely, chose to move away from major cities into larger and cheaper homes in the suburbs, often saving money in the process. As a result, rental rates declined in pricier neighborhoods.</p>\n<p>But in more affordable areas, rents actually increased. Americans who lost their jobs because of the pandemic rushed to find cheaper housing, pushing rents higher for the least expensive apartments and homes in the suburbs.</p>\n<p>Those effects are beginning to dissipate, but will continue to weigh on official measures like the consumer price index given the time lags that occur.</p>\n<p>So is housing quickly becoming more expensive? The answer, economists agree, is yes. First American Financial Services has its own measure, the Real House Price Index, which compares nominal-price gains with Americans' ability to afford to purchase a property based on the prevailing interest rates and household income.</p>\n<p>For a period of time between 2018 and the beginning of 2020, the Real House Price Index was falling, because Americans' buying power was rising faster than home prices, Fleming said. That's not the case anymore.</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>An inflation storm is coming for the U.S. housing market</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\">\nAn inflation storm is coming for the U.S. housing market\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-07-13 22:34</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Some economists suggest the government may be misunderstanding the size of the problem</p>\n<p>Fast-rising housing costs have helped cause the largest increase in inflation since 2008.

But the way that government statisticians track the price of consumer goods may be missing just how explosive home-price growth really has been in recent months.\nThe cost of shelter rose by 0.5% between May and June, according to the latest edition of the monthly consumer price index released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Compared with last year, however, shelter costs were up 2.6%.\nAltogether, the rise in housing prices accounted for roughly a fifth of the overall increase in inflation in June, a reflection of how heavily government economists weight this spending category.\nBut much of that increase was actually driven by the rising cost of hotels and motel stays, which are factored into the overall shelter figure. Between May and June, the cost of a hotel room increased nearly 8%. Comparatively, housing costs for renters and homeowners rose 0.2% and 0.3% respectively, per the government's inflation measure.\nIf those figures seem off based on your own experience of buying a home or signing a new lease as of late, it's not a surprise. Not everyone agrees on the rate of house-price growth.\nOther data suggested a much faster pace of home price appreciation and rental growth, well in excess of that level.\nThe most recent report from the Case-Shiller Home Price Index for April showed that home prices were up 14.6% nationally, which marked the highest increase in the more than 30 years of S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller data.\nSo how does the CPI calculate housing? First, housing units themselves are not included the CPI market basket.\nSecond, rental data to establish how prices are changing are collected every six months. The calculations for most other CPI items are collected monthly or bimonthly.\n\"Like most other economic series, the CPI views housing units as capital (or investment) goods and not as consumption items,\" the Bureau of Labor Statistics says . \"Spending to purchase and improve houses and other housing units is investment and not consumption.\"\n\"The cost of shelter for renter-occupied housing is rent. For an owner-occupied unit, the cost of shelter is the implicit rent that owner occupants would have to pay if they were renting their homes,\" the bureau adds.\nThe government pollsters ask homeowners: \"If someone were to rent your home today, how much do you think it would rent for monthly, unfurnished and without utilities?\"\nAnd they ask renters: \"What is the rental charge to your [household] for this unit including any extra charges for garage and parking facilities? Do not include direct payments by local, state or federal agencies. What period of time does this cover?\"\nHousing isn't like other goods\n\"The rate of house price appreciation is not akin to inflation,\" said Mark Fleming, chief economist at title insurance company First American Financial Services FAF (#phrase-company?ref=COMPANY%7CFAF;onlineSignificance=prominent).\nFor a start, housing is a very basic necessity. \"Demand for shelter doesn't go away -- it just moves around,\" Fleming said.

And some companies' profit gains are likely to be enormous.","content":"<p>S&P 500 investors are waiting for banner profit reports to kick off this week. And some companies' profit gains are likely to be more enormous than others.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect 10 S&P 500 companies, including health care <b>Zimmer Biomet</b>, energy firm <b>Freeport-McMoRan</b> and consumer discretionary firm <b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>, to post massive adjusted profit per share growth of 1,000% or much more for the second quarter. And that would make these companies S&P 500 standouts in a quarter already expected to be a massive <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> for profit growth, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSmith.</p>\n<p>\"We ran out of superlatives to describe corporate America's stunning performance during first-quarter earnings season,\" said Jeff Buchbinder, equity strategist at LPL Financial. \"So what will companies do for an encore? We expect more good news this quarter as more of the economy has opened up, while also acknowledging the second quarter will almost certainly end up being the peak in earnings growth for this cycle.\"</p>\n<p>Profit reports kick off this week with the banks. And what a peak it'll be for S&P 50o profit.</p>\n<h2>S&P 500 Headed To Amazing Quarterly Profit</h2>\n<p>Companies in the S&P 500 are expected to post moonshot quarterly profit growth of 64% in the second quarter, says John Butters, earnings analyst at FactSet. If that's right, it would be the largest quarterly profit posted by the S&P 500 in more than a decade, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Profits are soaring back as the U.S. economy is reopening, jobs are plentiful and companies and consumers have lots of money to spend. And the speed of the economy's rebound surprised most people. Analysts bumped up their profit forecasts for the quarter 7.2% since the end of March through June 30. That's the largest upward profit growth forecast boost since FactSet has tracked it going back to 2002, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Skeptics might think this is just wishful thinking. But early indications show there's reason to be optimistic. Already 66 S&P 500 companies, also a record, said second-quarter profit will top their earlier targets.</p>\n<p>So how you stand out when most companies' profits are booming? Just ask 10 S&P 500 outliers.</p>\n<h2>Putting Up 1,000% Or More Profit Growth</h2>\n<p>Scanning the S&P 500, Zimmer Biomet is the company to beat in terms of profit growth. Analysts think it will earn $1.86 a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter. That's up more than 3,600% from what it earned in the same period a year ago.</p>\n<p>The company makes a variety of orthopedic products like hip and knee replacements. Demand for such goods is expected to be strong as many people now get the optional procedures they put off during the pandemic. Zimmer Biomet reports its second quarter profit on Aug. 3. Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.</p>\n<p>Energy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.</p>\n<p>And when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share.

Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.</p>\n<p>Energy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.</p>\n<p>And when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share.

In total, these categories delivered strong sales growth of more than 100% compared to the 2020 fiscal first quarter and growth of 7% on a comparable sales basis versus the 2019 fiscal first quarter. These categories represented approximately two-thirds of totalBed Bath & Beyondbanner sales in the first quarter.</li>\n </ul>\n <li>The buybuy BABY banner continued to deliver positive sales growth with net sales increasing more than 20% compared to the 2020 fiscal first quarter, and an increase of low-single digits on a comparable sales basis versus the 2019 fiscal first quarter. Comparable sales were driven by more than 50% growth in digital.</li>\n <li>Gross margin was 32.4% for the quarter. Excluding special items from both periods, adjusted2gross margin increased 820 basis points to 34.9%, primarily driven by a favorable product mix from Owned Brand launches as well as a more normalized mix of digital sales coupled with a strong recovery in store sales growth.</li>\n <li>SG&A expense, on both a GAAP and adjusted basis, decreased significantly compared to the prior year period, primarily due to cost reductions including divestitures of non-core assets and lower rent and occupancy expenses on more efficient stores.

Special items reflect charges such as non-cash impairments related to certain store-level assets and tradenames, loss on sale of businesses, loss on the extinguishment of debt, and charges recorded in connection with the Company's restructuring and transformation initiatives. Restructuring and transformation initiatives includes accelerated markdowns and inventory reserves related to the planned assortment transition to Owned Brands and costs associated with store closures related to the Company's fleet optimization, and the income tax impact of these items.</li>\n <li>As expected, operating cash flow usage of$28 millionwas in-line with historical first quarter seasonality and working capital needs.
