In high-risk patients, both were shown to reduce the chances of hospitalization or death from COVID-19, although Pfizer’s was much more effective.</p>\n<p>A closer look:</p>\n<p><b>Who should take these pills?</b></p>\n<p>The antiviral pills aren’t for everyone who gets a positive test. The pills are intended for those with mild or moderate COVID-19 who are more likely to become seriously ill. That includes older people and those with other health conditions like heart disease, cancer or diabetes that make them more vulnerable. Both pills were OK’d for adults while Paxlovid is authorized for children ages 12 and older.</p>\n<p><b>Who shouldn’t take these pills?</b></p>\n<p>Merck’s molnupiravir is not authorized for children because it might interfere with bone growth. It also isn’t recommended for pregnant women because of the potential for birth defects. Pfizer’s pill isn’t recommended for patients with severe kidney or liver problems. It also may not be the best option for some because it may interact with other prescriptions a patient is taking. The antiviral pills aren’t authorized for people hospitalized with COVID-19.</p>\n<p><b>What’s the treatment window?</b></p>\n<p>The pills have to be started as soon as possible, within five days of the start of symptoms. Cough, headache, fever, the loss of taste or smell and muscle and body aches are among the more common signs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a website to check your symptoms.</p>\n<p>Dr. Cameron Wolfe, an infectious disease specialist at Duke University Hospital, advises getting a test as soon as you have symptoms of COVID-19.</p>\n<p>“If you wait until you have started to get breathless, you have already to a large extent missed the window where these drugs will be helpful,” Wolfe said.</p>\n<p><b>Where can I get the pills?</b></p>\n<p>You’ll need a prescription first from a doctor or other authorized health worker. The U.S. government is buying the pills from Merck and Pfizer and providing them for free, but supplies will be limited initially. They’ll be shipped to states where they will be available at drugstores, community health centers and other places. Treatment lasts five days.</p>\n<p>Some pharmacists may be able to administer a quick COVID-19 test and prescribe the pills all in one visit. They already do this in many states for flu or strep throat.</p>\n<p><b>Will the pills work for the omicron variant?</b></p>\n<p>The pills are expected to be effective against omicron because they don’t target the spike protein where most of the variant’s worrisome mutations reside. The two pills work in different ways to prevent the virus from reproducing.</p>\n<p><b>Are there any other options for new COVID-19 patients?</b></p>\n<p>Yes, but they aren’t as easy to use as a pill: They are given by IV or injection, typically at a hospital or clinic.

(NASDAQ:DKNG) is one of the most contentious companies that we have covered. The short-sellers favorite has also been discussed in the media lately, as Jim Chanos called out DraftKings' business model as \"flawed.\" He also derided that DraftKings' sales and marketing spend was \"completely and totally insane.\"</p>\n<p>Currently, the short-sellers seem to have the momentum on their side as the price has declined 60% from its 2021 all-time high (ATH). In addition, S3 Partners have tracked consistent short-selling activity this year compared to the previous year. As of 15 December, DKNG's short percent of float reached 12.2%.</p>\n<p>Notably, DKNG stock has been holding at its crucial support level even as the short-selling activity intensified in recent weeks. We have been observing the price action closely and believe that if the current level continues to hold, the stock can consolidate moving forward. It would then allow the market makers to accumulate quietly before forcing the shorts to cover and subsequently drive up the stock's momentum.</p>\n<p>The momentum in the market also seems to have swung back in favor of growth stocks lately. Coupled with the recent insider purchases, its price action, and the high short-selling activity, we believe it's time for long-term investors to consider adding exposure.</p>\n<p><b>DKNG Stock Performance</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29e4677c0da747eebf5dea1fdb15ebbf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"331\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>DKNG stock YTD performance (as of 23 December' 21).</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94f7e17e7edeef4d8c825a43d1a8d85b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"331\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>DKNG stock performance from 24 April '20 (as of 23 December' 21).</span></p>\n<p>Readers can quickly glean that DraftKings stock has significantly underperformed this year, as it returned -36.8% YTD.

The short-sellers favorite has also been discussed in the media lately, as Jim Chanos called out DraftKings' business model as \"flawed.\" He also derided that DraftKings' sales and marketing spend was \"completely and totally insane.\"\nCurrently, the short-sellers seem to have the momentum on their side as the price has declined 60% from its 2021 all-time high (ATH). In addition, S3 Partners have tracked consistent short-selling activity this year compared to the previous year. As of 15 December, DKNG's short percent of float reached 12.2%.\nNotably, DKNG stock has been holding at its crucial support level even as the short-selling activity intensified in recent weeks. We have been observing the price action closely and believe that if the current level continues to hold, the stock can consolidate moving forward. It would then allow the market makers to accumulate quietly before forcing the shorts to cover and subsequently drive up the stock's momentum.\nThe momentum in the market also seems to have swung back in favor of growth stocks lately. Coupled with the recent insider purchases, its price action, and the high short-selling activity, we believe it's time for long-term investors to consider adding exposure.\nDKNG Stock Performance\nDKNG stock YTD performance (as of 23 December' 21).\nDKNG stock performance from 24 April '20 (as of 23 December' 21).\nReaders can quickly glean that DraftKings stock has significantly underperformed this year, as it returned -36.8% YTD.

The company has been able to catch the wave of strong investor enthusiasm over the growing EV economy, leading to a market cap that still stands substantially higher than its pre-pandemic averages even while down more than 50% from its 52-week high.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bc70268ab9c6868a444fd95e011c4a1\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>EV charging bulls are spoilt for choice as the now collapsed SPAC explosion saw a plethora of EV charging companies from ChargePoint (CHPT) to Volta (VLTA) and EVgo (EVGO) all go public in 2021. And like Blink, 2021 has turned out to be a relatively uneventful year for these companies as capital heavily moved away from somewhat speculative industries and small-caps to value.</p>\n<p>The question of what 2022 now holds lingers. Is it more of the same capital destruction that characterized much of this year as bears would like to believe? This is especially as the FED accelerates the tapering of its bond-buying program to position itself to start raising interest rates as early as March to contain inflation. While the market should be pricing this in already, it could see the capital flight away from companies like Blink continue. This risk is especially heightened with recent financials that fail to justify the current $1.20 billion market cap.</p>\n<p><b>Operational Progress Continues But Revenue Multiple Looks Stretched</b></p>\n<p>Blink last reported quarterly earnings for its fiscal 2021 third quarter which saw revenue come in at $6.4 million. This was a year-over-year increase of 611% and a beat of $1.68 million on consensus estimates. This hypergrowth was partly driven by a rapid increase in charging stations contacted or sold to 3,016, an increase of 351% from its year-ago figure. Services revenues, which consists of charging service revenues, network fees and ride-sharing service revenues, also jumped by 425% year-over-year to $1.38 million. Blink's bulls have justified the company's high valuation on the back of the pace of this growth. The company's management has been seizing the opportunities of the transition to EVs.</p>\n<p>This momentum is likely to ramp up next year as demand for EVs continues to grow. This is a long-term structural shift in transportation that will create a substantial tailwind over the next decade. Not often does a company stand to ride such a healthy macro environment, one set to be boosted by both rising consumer sentiment and increasingly positive government action. The latter will see $7.5 billion allocated as part of the infrastructure bill toward building out the US electric vehicle charging network.</p>\n<p>Blink has also maintained operational momentum, recently unveiling seven new products including new EV charging equipment. The company will also launch a new network and accompanying mobile app to enhance the charging experience for its customers. And while cash flows from operations were negative at $9 million, the company still ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $186.7 million. This provides a strong buffer for operational flexibility and expansion in the years ahead as the EV charging space heats up. This is especially as another facet of the bear case has centered around just how competitive and crowded the space is. The has created a dash for prime space as EV chargers in the best locations are likely to perform the best.</p>\n<p>However, in spite of the fall of Blink's common shares this year, the company still trades on a price to trailing twelve months revenue multiple of 80x. Bulls would be rights to state that the company will very quickly grow into its multiple if revenue growth in the quarters ahead continues to reflect the rate of growth in the third quarter.</p>\n<p><b>EVs, Charging, And The Future Of Transportation</b></p>\n<p>EVs are undeniably going to play a dominant role in the future of transport and chargers will be required to keep them going.

The company has been able to catch the wave of strong investor enthusiasm over the growing EV economy, leading to a market cap that still stands substantially higher than its pre-pandemic averages even while down more than 50% from its 52-week high.\nData by YCharts\nEV charging bulls are spoilt for choice as the now collapsed SPAC explosion saw a plethora of EV charging companies from ChargePoint (CHPT) to Volta (VLTA) and EVgo (EVGO) all go public in 2021. And like Blink, 2021 has turned out to be a relatively uneventful year for these companies as capital heavily moved away from somewhat speculative industries and small-caps to value.\nThe question of what 2022 now holds lingers. Is it more of the same capital destruction that characterized much of this year as bears would like to believe? This is especially as the FED accelerates the tapering of its bond-buying program to position itself to start raising interest rates as early as March to contain inflation. While the market should be pricing this in already, it could see the capital flight away from companies like Blink continue. This risk is especially heightened with recent financials that fail to justify the current $1.20 billion market cap.\nOperational Progress Continues But Revenue Multiple Looks Stretched\nBlink last reported quarterly earnings for its fiscal 2021 third quarter which saw revenue come in at $6.4 million. This was a year-over-year increase of 611% and a beat of $1.68 million on consensus estimates. This hypergrowth was partly driven by a rapid increase in charging stations contacted or sold to 3,016, an increase of 351% from its year-ago figure. Services revenues, which consists of charging service revenues, network fees and ride-sharing service revenues, also jumped by 425% year-over-year to $1.38 million. Blink's bulls have justified the company's high valuation on the back of the pace of this growth. The company's management has been seizing the opportunities of the transition to EVs.\nThis momentum is likely to ramp up next year as demand for EVs continues to grow. This is a long-term structural shift in transportation that will create a substantial tailwind over the next decade. Not often does a company stand to ride such a healthy macro environment, one set to be boosted by both rising consumer sentiment and increasingly positive government action. The latter will see $7.5 billion allocated as part of the infrastructure bill toward building out the US electric vehicle charging network.\nBlink has also maintained operational momentum, recently unveiling seven new products including new EV charging equipment. The company will also launch a new network and accompanying mobile app to enhance the charging experience for its customers. And while cash flows from operations were negative at $9 million, the company still ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $186.7 million. This provides a strong buffer for operational flexibility and expansion in the years ahead as the EV charging space heats up. This is especially as another facet of the bear case has centered around just how competitive and crowded the space is. The has created a dash for prime space as EV chargers in the best locations are likely to perform the best.\nHowever, in spite of the fall of Blink's common shares this year, the company still trades on a price to trailing twelve months revenue multiple of 80x. Bulls would be rights to state that the company will very quickly grow into its multiple if revenue growth in the quarters ahead continues to reflect the rate of growth in the third quarter.\nEVs, Charging, And The Future Of Transportation\nEVs are undeniably going to play a dominant role in the future of transport and chargers will be required to keep them going. Hence, while 2021 was a terrible year for Blink, the broader long-term macro environment is positive and its conditions are conducive to the prerequisites for shareholder value creation.\nThere is definitely a race amongst EV charging companies to build out their network as fast as possible to gain scale and seize the leases for the best locations. Hence, I do not expect Blink to chase or even be able to attain cash flow breakeven in the near term. That said, it is hard to recommend Blink as a buy. Yes, the company is growing quickly and has a substantial cash balance to continue to ride the ever-growing EV wave. But the valuation is still steep, and a slowdown would see the common shares experience an even more brutal downward re-rating.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":793,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":696972878,"gmtCreate":1640612155253,"gmtModify":1640612155700,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/696972878","repostId":"1122290660","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1122290660","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":1640608857,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1122290660?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-27 20:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Grab stock climbed more than 3% in premarket trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1122290660","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Grab stock climbed more than 3% in premarket trading as Wall Street saw massive upside for Asian tec","content":"<p>Grab stock climbed more than 3% in premarket trading as Wall Street saw massive upside for Asian tech giant Grab, after disappointing debut.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/722d12abbd9fc66fd8ccd5576d98e63c\" tg-width=\"841\" tg-height=\"619\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Grab debuted on the Nasdaq following a deal with blank-check company Altimeter Growth Corp., which valued the company at nearly $40 billion.

But the bank said that Grab is likely to see losses in the near-to-mid term due to investments and competition for market share.\nThe analysts warned, however, that Grab’s stock price could be volatile over the next six months as the free float expands due to staggered expiration of lock-ups that will release additional shares. Potential inclusion in MSCI indexes could also contribute to the volatility, JPMorgan said.\nCiti\nCiti initiated coverage of Grab with a buy rating and a price target of $12 a share, but also flagged the stock as high risk.\nCompared with regional peers, Citi analysts said Grab benefits from its ability to capture larger volumes of consumer data given higher frequency of delivery and mobility demand compared to services like e-commerce. That gives the company an easier way to cross-sell its financial services products, they added.\nThe analysts pointed out that Grab has a “broader geographic footprint with more equal strength in the ... Southeast Asia countries in which it operates,” compared with Indonesian rival GoTo Group.\nCiti said, however, spending per transaction and per user is lower for Grab than other regional players like Sea, which operates e-commerce platform Shopee. That implies Grab would face more headwinds if Covid cases in the region surge again, forcing countries to impose lockdowns and other mobility restrictions.\n“Grab also lacks a high-margin gaming business and global exposure given its Southeast Asia focus,” Citi analysts said.\nEvercore\nEvercore initiated coverage with an outperform rating and a price target of $10.\nThe firm said Grab will likely face more local competition in each market for its delivery business compared to ridesharing, where the only other international incumbent is GoTo Group’s Gojek — particularly, in Indonesia.\n“Within its Delivery segment, Grab faces a bit more competition across its core geographies,” Evercore analysts said in a recent note. They flagged the likes of Foodpanda, Gojek and Deliveroo in Singapore, LineMan in Thailand as well as Now and Baemin in Vietnam as competitors.\n“Lastly, Grab competes with last-mile logistics providers such as Gojek and Lalamove, and more local last-mile players such as AhaMove (Vietnam),” the analysts said.\nIn the financial services business, Grab faces competition from traditional players including credit card companies, banks as well as cash, which is still the predominant mode of payment in Southeast Asia.\nStill, the Evercore analysts said that most of Grab’s core business segments including delivery, mobility and financial services remain underpenetrated, which grants the Singapore-headquartered company “a probable long runway for growth.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1094,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":693183523,"gmtCreate":1639985355933,"gmtModify":1639985356384,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693183523","repostId":"1175656936","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175656936","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1639964118,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1175656936?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-20 09:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Investor Sues CEO Elon Musk Over His Twitter Poll Leading To 10% Stock Sale","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175656936","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Tesla shareholder David Wagner has filed a lawsuit against the company after CEO Elon Musk sold a po","content":"<p><b>Tesla</b> shareholder <b>David Wagner</b> has filed a lawsuit against the company after CEO <b>Elon Musk</b> sold a portion of his Tesla stock based on a Twitter poll he conducted.

Earnings for the bank’s U.S. division rose 58% in the fourth quarter, compared with a 42% increase for its Canadian division.\nIn the U.S., BMO operates commercial, retail, wealth-management and capital-markets businesses. The bank has said it sees a major opportunity for growth in its U.S. wealth-management business.\nBMO opened its first stateside branch in 1818, about a year after its founding. In the 1990s, it became the first Canadian bank to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The firm has a market value of around $69 billion.\nFor larger Canadian lenders that want to expand, limited domestic options for growth have prompted them to look across the southern border.\nRoyal Bank of Canada,the country’s second-largest lender, bought Los Angeles-based City National Corp. for $5.4 billion in 2015. Canada’s biggest bank,Toronto-Dominion,now operates more branches in the U.S. than in Canada.\nEuropean lenders that planted flags in the U.S. starting in the late 1980s have failed to gain much ground.Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC sold out of Citizens Financial Group Inc. in 2015.HSBC Holdings PLC said last year it would close one-third of its U.S. branches.\nBBVA of Spain agreed to sell its U.S. arm roughly a year ago to PNC Financial Services Group Inc. for around $11.6 billion in a deal that created the fifth-largest retail bank in the U.S.\nWhile big bank mergers have been rare since the 2008 crisis, there have been more so far this year than any time since then.\nBut federal financial regulators have expressed interest in tamping down on the spate of mergers. Democratic members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s board have in recent weeks pushed to review regulations around big-bank mergers. Banking-industry officials fear that such a review by the FDIC or other regulators, namely the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, could result in stricter controls on larger deals.\nThe continued consolidation of financial institutions leaves consumers with fewer banking options and reduces competition, progressive policy makers have argued. Regional banks see joining forces as the best way to fight paltry lending profits and the ever-rising outlays required to keep pace with the technology improvements of the largest banks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":295,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":693189401,"gmtCreate":1639985278396,"gmtModify":1639985278837,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693189401","repostId":"1104046826","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1104046826","pubTimestamp":1639982468,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1104046826?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-20 14:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Royal Caribbean Stock: CEO Sees Smooth Sailing Ahead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1104046826","media":"TheStreet","summary":"The cruise line was hit as hard as any business by the pandemic, but it stayed afloat.\nNearly the en","content":"<p>The cruise line was hit as hard as any business by the pandemic, but it stayed afloat.</p>\n<p>Nearly the entire cruise industry closed from roughly March 2020 through July 2021.</p>\n<p>Yes, there was a Royal Caribbean(<b>RCL</b>) ship sailing out of the Bahamas a little earlier in the summer and another operating in Singapore, but most of the fleet was either docked or at sea with skeleton crews for about 15 months.</p>\n<p>Now, Royal Caribbean has most of its fleet back at sea with paying customers and CEO Richard Fain said he thinks the worst has passed.

There are a few reasons to do so.","content":"<p>When a company has grown to the point where it makes more money than it has good uses for, such as hiring more workers, spending more on research and development, buying another company, paying down debt, and so on, it may start paying a dividend to its shareholders. Not doing so means cash will just pile up, without being put to sufficiently productive use.</p>\n<p>Those dividend payments are attractive to many investors, but some might want to bypass dividend stocks. Here are three reasons you might avoid dividend payers -- followed by a few even better reasons to do so.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f71039be059f0224504fbf1f61d2e227\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"443\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. You don't want to receive regular infusions of cash</h2>\n<p>If you're not interested in having little (or big) cash payments appearing in your brokerage account regularly, steer clear of dividend payers. If you're thinking this way because you don't know what you'd do with that money, here are some ideas:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Pay down any debt you have.</li>\n <li>Let it accumulate in your account until you spot stock(s) you're ready to buy.</li>\n <li>See if your brokerage will automatically reinvest those dividends in additional shares (or fractions of shares) of the stocks that paid them.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Don't think of these dividend payments as small potatoes, either. If you have a portfolio valued around $400,000 with an overall average dividend yield of, say, 3%, you've set yourself up to collect about $12,000 annually, or about $1,000 per month. That's powerful!</p>\n<h2>2. You don't like companies stable enough to pay dividends</h2>\n<p>You might be avoiding dividend-paying stocks because you imagine that they're mostly boring old companies, not likely to grow very quickly. That is a reason to avoid them, but it's not a good one. For one thing, many fast-growing companies these days pay some kind of dividend, and even if it's not a hefty one, it may be growing at a respectable clip.</p>\n<p><b>Starbucks</b> (NASDAQ:SBUX), for example, pays a dividend that recently sported a dividend yield of 1.7%, and it's still a rapidly growing business, with its fourth-quarter net revenue up 31% year over year and 538 net new stores opened. Its dividend, meanwhile, has been hiked by an annual average of 14% over the past five years. Over the past decade, its shares have grown in value more than fivefold -- an annual average of 20.3%. (And that's without even reinvesting dividends.)</p>\n<p>Even sleepier-seeming dividend payers can be quite impressive, like <b>Sherwin-Williams</b> (NYSE:SHW) This 155-year-old company specializes in paint (and other coatings). Yawn, right? But its stock has grown at an average annual clip of <i>30%</i> over the past decade with dividends not reinvested.</p>\n<p>Think twice before bypassing dividend payers because of low expectations.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a49031c71e2425616439eea873b1d0fd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>3. You don't want to keep up with inflation</h2>\n<p>This reason is here just to make a point: One of the many wonderful things about dividend payers is that they can help you keep up with or exceed inflation. That's a big deal, because inflation can really shrink the value of your savings over time.</p>\n<p>The rate of inflation has averaged around 3% over long periods, but it has occasionally been very high, even in double digits. Even if it averages 3%, that's enough to just about cut the purchasing power of your money in half.</p>\n<p>Since dividend payments tend to be increased over time, as long as the companies paying them remain healthy and growing, they aren't likely to see their purchasing power shrink. Many companies have been increasing their payouts at average annual rates of 5%, 10%, or more.</p>\n<h2>More things to consider with dividends</h2>\n<p>In case you didn't notice, these three reasons for avoiding dividend payers are facetious. Who wouldn't want regular infusions of cash or to keep up with inflation? (I hope this closer look at them sheds some light on how powerful dividend payers can be.)</p>\n<p>Here are a few other things to consider:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Dividends are not guaranteed:</b> It's true that dividend payments are not guaranteed. Indeed, if a company falls on hard times, it may reduce, suspend, or even eliminate its payout, as plenty of companies have done. Companies try hard to avoid that, though, and often, you can see trouble coming.</li>\n <li><b>Growth stocks might grow faster:</b> It's true that many growth stocks will grow at a much faster rate than dividend payers, but don't count dividend payers out. Many tech stocks, biotech stocks, and other stocks in fast-growing industries do pay dividends.

Not doing so means cash will just pile up, without being put to sufficiently productive use.\nThose dividend payments are attractive to many investors, but some might want to bypass dividend stocks. Here are three reasons you might avoid dividend payers -- followed by a few even better reasons to do so.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. You don't want to receive regular infusions of cash\nIf you're not interested in having little (or big) cash payments appearing in your brokerage account regularly, steer clear of dividend payers. If you're thinking this way because you don't know what you'd do with that money, here are some ideas:\n\nPay down any debt you have.\nLet it accumulate in your account until you spot stock(s) you're ready to buy.\nSee if your brokerage will automatically reinvest those dividends in additional shares (or fractions of shares) of the stocks that paid them.\n\nDon't think of these dividend payments as small potatoes, either. If you have a portfolio valued around $400,000 with an overall average dividend yield of, say, 3%, you've set yourself up to collect about $12,000 annually, or about $1,000 per month. That's powerful!\n2. You don't like companies stable enough to pay dividends\nYou might be avoiding dividend-paying stocks because you imagine that they're mostly boring old companies, not likely to grow very quickly. That is a reason to avoid them, but it's not a good one. For one thing, many fast-growing companies these days pay some kind of dividend, and even if it's not a hefty one, it may be growing at a respectable clip.\nStarbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), for example, pays a dividend that recently sported a dividend yield of 1.7%, and it's still a rapidly growing business, with its fourth-quarter net revenue up 31% year over year and 538 net new stores opened. Its dividend, meanwhile, has been hiked by an annual average of 14% over the past five years. Over the past decade, its shares have grown in value more than fivefold -- an annual average of 20.3%. (And that's without even reinvesting dividends.)\nEven sleepier-seeming dividend payers can be quite impressive, like Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:SHW) This 155-year-old company specializes in paint (and other coatings). Yawn, right? But its stock has grown at an average annual clip of 30% over the past decade with dividends not reinvested.\nThink twice before bypassing dividend payers because of low expectations.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n3. You don't want to keep up with inflation\nThis reason is here just to make a point: One of the many wonderful things about dividend payers is that they can help you keep up with or exceed inflation. That's a big deal, because inflation can really shrink the value of your savings over time.\nThe rate of inflation has averaged around 3% over long periods, but it has occasionally been very high, even in double digits. Even if it averages 3%, that's enough to just about cut the purchasing power of your money in half.\nSince dividend payments tend to be increased over time, as long as the companies paying them remain healthy and growing, they aren't likely to see their purchasing power shrink. Many companies have been increasing their payouts at average annual rates of 5%, 10%, or more.\nMore things to consider with dividends\nIn case you didn't notice, these three reasons for avoiding dividend payers are facetious. Who wouldn't want regular infusions of cash or to keep up with inflation? (I hope this closer look at them sheds some light on how powerful dividend payers can be.)\nHere are a few other things to consider:\n\nDividends are not guaranteed: It's true that dividend payments are not guaranteed. Indeed, if a company falls on hard times, it may reduce, suspend, or even eliminate its payout, as plenty of companies have done. Companies try hard to avoid that, though, and often, you can see trouble coming.\nGrowth stocks might grow faster: It's true that many growth stocks will grow at a much faster rate than dividend payers, but don't count dividend payers out. Many tech stocks, biotech stocks, and other stocks in fast-growing industries do pay dividends. And remember that sleepy little companies like paint specialists may quietly be growing at a faster rate than some high-profile businesses.\n\nOverall, there are more compelling reasons to buy dividend-paying stocks than compelling reasons to avoid them. It's always good to have a balance in your portfolio, so you might include both dividend payers and nonpayers, along with some growth stocks and value stocks.\nAlternatively, just make it easy on yourself and stick with low-cost index funds that will deliver close to the stock market's return. That can still grow your wealth at a good clip -- and a broad-market index fund will pay you dividends as well.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":693189114,"gmtCreate":1639985244295,"gmtModify":1639985244739,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693189114","repostId":"2192006906","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":304,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":693189927,"gmtCreate":1639985230494,"gmtModify":1639985230914,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693189927","repostId":"1134947114","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1134947114","pubTimestamp":1639983737,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1134947114?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-20 15:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Verso to be acquired by Billerudkorsnäs for ~$825M","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1134947114","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Verso(NYSE:VRS)inks merger agreement under which BillerudKorsnäs AB will acquire all of the outstand","content":"<p>Verso(NYSE:VRS)inks merger agreement under which BillerudKorsnäs AB will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Verso for $27 per share in cash, or ~$825M.</p>\n<p>The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2022.</p>\n<p>In making this acquisition, BillerudKorsnäs recognizes that Verso's strategic assets are positioned in a region with abundant and cost-effective fiber supply suitable for production of premium packaging materials.</p>\n<p>Verso's location also presents favorable export opportunities to both Asia and Europe.</p>\n<p>The acquisition will be primarily financed through increased debt and operating cash flow.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

There's a lot of development needed to make it happen, including software and devices.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, though, several companies should profit from its early stages. Here are two metaverse stocks, in particular, that could make you richer in 2022.</p>\n<h2>1. Nvidia</h2>\n<p>Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b> (formerly known as Facebook), specifically mentioned <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> name earlier this year when discussing other companies that could be big winners in the metaverse.

He's right that this should present a tremendous long-term growth market for Nvidia. The chipmaker also has a big opportunity in the near term.</p>\n<p>Nvidia's Omniverse is already gaining momentum. Omniverse is a development platform for 3D simulation and design collaboration. Big companies including <b>BMW</b> and <b>Siemens</b> Energy are using Omniverse to develop digital twins of their facilities. Studios are using the platform for virtual production. Architectural and engineering companies are using it to design buildings.</p>\n<p>Another key opportunity for Omniverse is its Avatar platform. Omniverse Avatar enables designers to build interactive artificial intelligence (AI) assistants. These avatars could be used for nearly any customer service interaction. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang thinks the addressable market for Avatar is close to $40 billion. To put that number into perspective, Nvidia has generated $24.3 billion in revenue over the last 12 months.</p>\n<p>Sure, this tech stock appears to be expensive, with shares trading at nearly 59 times expected earnings. However, the growth prospects for Nvidia warrant a premium valuation. Even after more than doubling this year, the stock should still be a winner in 2022 and beyond.</p>\n<h2>2. Unity Software</h2>\n<p><b>Unity Software</b> (NYSE:U) stands out as another company that could profit from the metaverse sooner rather than later. Back in the gold-rush days, the biggest winners were those who sold picks and shovels to gold miners. Unity is basically a picks-and-shovels supplier for the metaverse, and for virtual reality apps in general.</p>\n<p>The company currently ranks as the leading platform for developing interactive real-time 3D content. Close to 65% of the top 1,000 mobile games in the world were created using Unity's software.</p>\n<p>Unity CEO John Riccitiello plans for his company to achieve a similar dominance in metaverse content. During Unity's third-quarter conference call, he said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Unity expects to be -- as industry after industry after industry wants to move into the metaverse or become real-time 3D interactive with their presentation, whether it's a car configurator or a shopping experience -- we want to make sure that 60%, 70%, 80% of the time, that content built by all of those industries and all of those customers is built in Unity.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Although it will take several years to fully build the metaverse, the effort is already underway. Unity should be able to make money from the earliest stages of the metaverse.</p>\n<p>The stock's performance has been disappointing in 2021, with shares now slightly below where they were in early January. A key reason behind this decline was that Unity's valuation soared too much too fast in 2020. But with developers needing the equivalent of picks and shovels to build the metaverse, Unity could be in a good position to rebound in the new year.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>2 Metaverse Stocks That Could Make You Richer in 2022</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n2 Metaverse Stocks That Could Make You Richer in 2022\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-17 19:28 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/17/2-metaverse-stocks-that-could-make-you-richer-in-2/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It's going to be years before the metaverse becomes what many hope it will be.

The cloud computing titans offer their own data analytics and management tools.</p>\n<p>In a \"coopetition\" model, thecloud giantsgive their customers a green light to buy<b>Snowflake</b>'s (SNOW) software. The reason is Snowflake's tools are better at some key tasks, such as letting companies compile, view, analyze and share massive amounts of data in an easy way.</p>\n<p>Nearly two-fifths of Fortune 500 companies use Snowflake's software in the cloud as they move away from on-premise data warehousing products from<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TDC\">Teradata</a></b>(TDC),<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ORCL\">Oracle</a></b>(ORCL) and<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a></b>(IBM). One Snowflake customer is pharma giant<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">Pfizer</a></b>(PFE). Pfizer uses Snowflake tools to forecast product sales and to gain insights into thedistribution of the Covid-19 vaccine.</p>\n<p>Stellar customer growth enabled SNOW stock to pull off the largest initial public offering ever by a software company in September 2020. The IPO raised $3.4 billion.</p>\n<p>But is Snowflake a buy right now? After a tough start to 2021, software growth stocks have rebounded. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF rose 3.4% in July and 8.7% in June.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake Stock: Roadmap to $10 Billion In Revenue</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake stock hit an all-time high of 429 in early December. But SNOW stock swooned in late 2020 amid analyst concerns over its lofty valuation.</p>\n<p>At a June 10 analyst day, Snowflake laid out a path to $10 billion in product revenue by fiscal 2029, which coincides with calendar 2028. The $10 billion revenue target would result in a compound annual growth rate of 44%.</p>\n<p>The company said it expects to increase the number of customers with over $1 million in product revenue. Snowflake also guided to long-term operating margin of 10%-plus, lower than some analysts expected.</p>\n<p><b>Possible Threat From Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake in July announced support for digital advertising standard Unified ID 2.0. Advertising is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Snowflake's largest verticals with customers representing a large percentage of players in the space, noted a RBC Capital report. The move comes as Googlephases out internet cookies for targeted advertising.</p>\n<p>Whether Amazon Web Services ratchets up competition remains a concern for SNOW stock. Plus, competition with privately held Databricks is heating up. A February funding roundvalued Databricks at $28 billion.</p>\n<p>Databricks, which usesartificial intelligence, is expected to launch its own IPO.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock bulls point to its seasoned management team as a strength no matter what unfolds.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> former Oracle engineers — Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes — along with Marcin Zukowski, former chief executive of startup Vectorwise, started Snowflake in 2012. The company holds patents in database architecture, data warehouses and other areas.</p>\n<p><b>SNOW Stock: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOW\">ServiceNow</a> Veterans Lead Company</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake brought inFrank Slootman as chief executive in May 2019. Slootman had stepped down as CEO of ServiceNow in early 2017. Former ServiceNow Chief Financial Officer Mike Scarpelli in 2019 also joined Snowflake in the same CFO position.</p>\n<p>Unlike legacy, on-premise data management systems, Snowflake's platform was built from the ground up for cloud computing. It provides 100% of its software over the internet.</p>\n<p>Snowflake customers can share data with their partners across multiple online storage systems using the company's data warehouse. Snowflake also enables easily searchable data to be shared among applications.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's data analytics tools became available on Amazon Web Services in 2015, Microsoft's Azure in 2018 and on Google's cloud platform in 2020.</p>\n<p>In June, Snowflake partnered with<b>C3.ai</b>(AI). The two companies will cooperate in offering artificial intelligence tools to companies.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon Web Services A 'Frenemy'</b></p>\n<p>\"While Snowflake is multi-cloud, it derives some 85% of its revenues from data analytics jobs deployed on Amazon Web Services, which is also Snowflake's biggest rival with AWS Redshift,\" UBS analyst Karl Keirstead said in a recent note to clients.</p>\n<p>\"This 'frenemy' relationship is critical to Snowflake's success,\" Keirstead went on to say. \"AWS benefits far more from Snowflake spending on compute and storage infrastructure resources than they lose in the form of foregone AWS Redshift revenues. Snowflake represents a dream customer and partner for AWS and Microsoft Azure.\"</p>\n<p>Snowflake has focused on six core markets, including financial services, health care and life sciences, retail and consumer packaged goods, advertising media and entertainment, technology, and the government sector.</p>\n<p>When Snowflake went public in September it used a dual-class share structure that gave its CEO and insiderssuper-voting rights. However, Snowflake eliminated the dual-class structure in March.</p>\n<p>Snowflake had been based in San Mateo, Calif. Amid the shift to remote work spurred by the coronavirus emergency, Snowflake in May said it no longer has a corporate headquarters. It designated Bozeman, Mont., as its principal executive office. Slootman and Scarpelli are based in Bozeman.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake Stock Fundamental Analysis</b></p>\n<p>Software stocks typically trade as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. Software-as-a-service, or SaaS, companies, such as<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce.com</a></b>(CRM), typically provide the highest revenue growth. Salesforce is a key marketing partner of SNOW stock.</p>\n<p>Snowflake also partners with consulting firms such as Deloitte and information technology firms such as privately held Informatica.</p>\n<p>Snowflake is not an SaaS company, however. Instead, it uses a consumption-based business model based on how much data its customers crunch and store.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's revenue growth stands out. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a>-quartersales jumped 110%to $228.9 million. But there's less transparency and predictability than with subscription-based, recurring-revenue SaaS business models, analysts say.</p>\n<p>\"SNOW has a consumption model, whereby customers contract for a certain amount of compute and storage capacity,\" <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MFG\">Mizuho</a> Securities analyst Gregg Moskowitz said in a note. \"The company only records revenue, however, as that capacity is used, so there can be a lag of several months or more before revenue recognition begins.\"</p>\n<p>Snowflake is nearing an annual revenue run-rate of $1 billion. That's a big milestone for software growth companies. But SNOW stock is unprofitable on the two most common accounting standards.</p>\n<p>Many software companies are unprofitable using GAAP earnings, or generally accepted accounting principles, which includes stock-based compensation. But they're profitable on a non-GAAP or \"adjusted\" earnings basis.</p>\n<p><b>SNOW Stock Operates In The Red</b></p>\n<p>In the first quarter, Snowflake reported a GAAP operating loss of $205.6 million and a GAAP per-share loss of 70 cents. Snowflake stock subsequently fell. It recorded an adjusted operating loss of $35.8 million.</p>\n<p>Snowflake doesn't break out adjusted earnings. Analysts estimate it lost 11 cents on an adjusted basis in the first quarter.</p>\n<p>Snowflake operates in the red amid sizable investments, analysts say. For fiscal 2022, for example, Snowflake has told analysts it plans to hire 1,200 net new employees, which would represent 48% growth in head count.</p>\n<p>Still, investments are paying off in revenue growth. Snowflake had 4,532 customers as of April 30, up 67% from the year-earlier period. That includes 187 of the Fortune 500. In the April quarter, Snowflake added a record 27 customers with more than $1 million per year in product revenue, giving it 104 such customers overall.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GS\">Goldman Sachs</a> analyst Kash Rangan is bullish on Snowflake's potential to dominate in cloud-based data analytics and management.</p>\n<p>\"We believe Snowflake will continue to replace incumbent warehousing solutions owing to their scalable and elastic cloud native data platform while also capitalizing on net new workloads and use cases as digital transformation drives greater digitization within the enterprise, and business intelligence and analytics remains a top priority for spending,\" he said in a note.</p>\n<p><b>SNOW Stock Technical Analysis</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake stock went public on Sept. 16 at 120 a share. At the time, software growth stocks were hot as investors sought recurring revenue amid the coronavirus emergency.</p>\n<p>SNOW stock popped as high as 319 on the first day of trading and closed 111.6% above the IPO price at 253.93. Shares pulled back as analysts debated Snowflake's valuation.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock forged acup-with-handle baseover the next two months. The new base created an entry point of 301. SNOW stock blew past the buy point, hitting an all-time high of 429 on Dec. 8.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock swooned in late 2020 amid questions over its valuation even as the IBD Computer-Software <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EBTC\">Enterprise</a> group stayed resilient. The Computer-Software <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EFSC\">Enterprise</a> group did not break down until mid-February amid a market rotation to value.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock hit a low of 184.71 on May 13.</p>\n<p>Canaccord Genuity analyst David Hynes said in a note that one question for investors is whether SNOW stock will trade in concert with software growth stocks. Software growth stocks have sold off onworries over inflation and rising interest rates.</p>\n<p><b>Is Snowflake Stock A Buy Right Now?</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake stock still trades at a substantial premium as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. SNOW stock holds anIBD Composite Ratingof 37 out of a best possible 99, according toIBD Stock Checkup.</p>\n<p>IBD's Composite Rating combines five separate proprietary ratings into one easy-to-use rating. The best growth stocks have a Composite Rating of 90 or better.</p>\n<p>One plus is that Snowflake stock owns an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B, according toIBD MarketSmithanalysis. That rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading.</p>\n<p>The rating, on an A+ to E scale, measures institutional buying and selling in a stock.

The cloud computing titans offer their own data analytics and management tools.\nIn a \"coopetition\" model, thecloud giantsgive their customers a green light to buySnowflake's (SNOW) software. The reason is Snowflake's tools are better at some key tasks, such as letting companies compile, view, analyze and share massive amounts of data in an easy way.\nNearly two-fifths of Fortune 500 companies use Snowflake's software in the cloud as they move away from on-premise data warehousing products fromTeradata(TDC),Oracle(ORCL) andIBM(IBM). One Snowflake customer is pharma giantPfizer(PFE). Pfizer uses Snowflake tools to forecast product sales and to gain insights into thedistribution of the Covid-19 vaccine.\nStellar customer growth enabled SNOW stock to pull off the largest initial public offering ever by a software company in September 2020. The IPO raised $3.4 billion.\nBut is Snowflake a buy right now? After a tough start to 2021, software growth stocks have rebounded. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF rose 3.4% in July and 8.7% in June.\nSnowflake Stock: Roadmap to $10 Billion In Revenue\nSnowflake stock hit an all-time high of 429 in early December. But SNOW stock swooned in late 2020 amid analyst concerns over its lofty valuation.\nAt a June 10 analyst day, Snowflake laid out a path to $10 billion in product revenue by fiscal 2029, which coincides with calendar 2028. The $10 billion revenue target would result in a compound annual growth rate of 44%.\nThe company said it expects to increase the number of customers with over $1 million in product revenue. Snowflake also guided to long-term operating margin of 10%-plus, lower than some analysts expected.\nPossible Threat From Amazon\nSnowflake in July announced support for digital advertising standard Unified ID 2.0. Advertising is one of Snowflake's largest verticals with customers representing a large percentage of players in the space, noted a RBC Capital report. The move comes as Googlephases out internet cookies for targeted advertising.\nWhether Amazon Web Services ratchets up competition remains a concern for SNOW stock. Plus, competition with privately held Databricks is heating up. A February funding roundvalued Databricks at $28 billion.\nDatabricks, which usesartificial intelligence, is expected to launch its own IPO.\nSnowflake stock bulls point to its seasoned management team as a strength no matter what unfolds.\nTwo former Oracle engineers — Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes — along with Marcin Zukowski, former chief executive of startup Vectorwise, started Snowflake in 2012. The company holds patents in database architecture, data warehouses and other areas.\nSNOW Stock: ServiceNow Veterans Lead Company\nSnowflake brought inFrank Slootman as chief executive in May 2019. Slootman had stepped down as CEO of ServiceNow in early 2017. Former ServiceNow Chief Financial Officer Mike Scarpelli in 2019 also joined Snowflake in the same CFO position.\nUnlike legacy, on-premise data management systems, Snowflake's platform was built from the ground up for cloud computing. It provides 100% of its software over the internet.\nSnowflake customers can share data with their partners across multiple online storage systems using the company's data warehouse. Snowflake also enables easily searchable data to be shared among applications.\nSnowflake's data analytics tools became available on Amazon Web Services in 2015, Microsoft's Azure in 2018 and on Google's cloud platform in 2020.\nIn June, Snowflake partnered withC3.ai(AI). The two companies will cooperate in offering artificial intelligence tools to companies.\nAmazon Web Services A 'Frenemy'\n\"While Snowflake is multi-cloud, it derives some 85% of its revenues from data analytics jobs deployed on Amazon Web Services, which is also Snowflake's biggest rival with AWS Redshift,\" UBS analyst Karl Keirstead said in a recent note to clients.\n\"This 'frenemy' relationship is critical to Snowflake's success,\" Keirstead went on to say. \"AWS benefits far more from Snowflake spending on compute and storage infrastructure resources than they lose in the form of foregone AWS Redshift revenues. Snowflake represents a dream customer and partner for AWS and Microsoft Azure.\"\nSnowflake has focused on six core markets, including financial services, health care and life sciences, retail and consumer packaged goods, advertising media and entertainment, technology, and the government sector.\nWhen Snowflake went public in September it used a dual-class share structure that gave its CEO and insiderssuper-voting rights. However, Snowflake eliminated the dual-class structure in March.\nSnowflake had been based in San Mateo, Calif. Amid the shift to remote work spurred by the coronavirus emergency, Snowflake in May said it no longer has a corporate headquarters. It designated Bozeman, Mont., as its principal executive office. Slootman and Scarpelli are based in Bozeman.\nSnowflake Stock Fundamental Analysis\nSoftware stocks typically trade as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. Software-as-a-service, or SaaS, companies, such asSalesforce.com(CRM), typically provide the highest revenue growth. Salesforce is a key marketing partner of SNOW stock.\nSnowflake also partners with consulting firms such as Deloitte and information technology firms such as privately held Informatica.\nSnowflake is not an SaaS company, however. Instead, it uses a consumption-based business model based on how much data its customers crunch and store.\nSnowflake's revenue growth stands out. First-quartersales jumped 110%to $228.9 million. But there's less transparency and predictability than with subscription-based, recurring-revenue SaaS business models, analysts say.\n\"SNOW has a consumption model, whereby customers contract for a certain amount of compute and storage capacity,\" Mizuho Securities analyst Gregg Moskowitz said in a note. \"The company only records revenue, however, as that capacity is used, so there can be a lag of several months or more before revenue recognition begins.\"\nSnowflake is nearing an annual revenue run-rate of $1 billion. That's a big milestone for software growth companies. But SNOW stock is unprofitable on the two most common accounting standards.\nMany software companies are unprofitable using GAAP earnings, or generally accepted accounting principles, which includes stock-based compensation. But they're profitable on a non-GAAP or \"adjusted\" earnings basis.\nSNOW Stock Operates In The Red\nIn the first quarter, Snowflake reported a GAAP operating loss of $205.6 million and a GAAP per-share loss of 70 cents. Snowflake stock subsequently fell. It recorded an adjusted operating loss of $35.8 million.\nSnowflake doesn't break out adjusted earnings. Analysts estimate it lost 11 cents on an adjusted basis in the first quarter.\nSnowflake operates in the red amid sizable investments, analysts say. For fiscal 2022, for example, Snowflake has told analysts it plans to hire 1,200 net new employees, which would represent 48% growth in head count.\nStill, investments are paying off in revenue growth. Snowflake had 4,532 customers as of April 30, up 67% from the year-earlier period. That includes 187 of the Fortune 500. In the April quarter, Snowflake added a record 27 customers with more than $1 million per year in product revenue, giving it 104 such customers overall.\nGoldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan is bullish on Snowflake's potential to dominate in cloud-based data analytics and management.\n\"We believe Snowflake will continue to replace incumbent warehousing solutions owing to their scalable and elastic cloud native data platform while also capitalizing on net new workloads and use cases as digital transformation drives greater digitization within the enterprise, and business intelligence and analytics remains a top priority for spending,\" he said in a note.\nSNOW Stock Technical Analysis\nSnowflake stock went public on Sept. 16 at 120 a share. At the time, software growth stocks were hot as investors sought recurring revenue amid the coronavirus emergency.\nSNOW stock popped as high as 319 on the first day of trading and closed 111.6% above the IPO price at 253.93. Shares pulled back as analysts debated Snowflake's valuation.\nSnowflake stock forged acup-with-handle baseover the next two months. The new base created an entry point of 301. SNOW stock blew past the buy point, hitting an all-time high of 429 on Dec. 8.\nSnowflake stock swooned in late 2020 amid questions over its valuation even as the IBD Computer-Software Enterprise group stayed resilient. The Computer-Software Enterprise group did not break down until mid-February amid a market rotation to value.\nSnowflake stock hit a low of 184.71 on May 13.\nCanaccord Genuity analyst David Hynes said in a note that one question for investors is whether SNOW stock will trade in concert with software growth stocks. Software growth stocks have sold off onworries over inflation and rising interest rates.\nIs Snowflake Stock A Buy Right Now?\nSnowflake stock still trades at a substantial premium as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth. SNOW stock holds anIBD Composite Ratingof 37 out of a best possible 99, according toIBD Stock Checkup.\nIBD's Composite Rating combines five separate proprietary ratings into one easy-to-use rating. The best growth stocks have a Composite Rating of 90 or better.\nOne plus is that Snowflake stock owns an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B, according toIBD MarketSmithanalysis. That rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading.\nThe rating, on an A+ to E scale, measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.\nSNOW stock has yet toform a basewith a proper entry point. Snowflake stock has clawed above its 50-day moving average. If it holds above the 50-day line that could kick-start the right side of a deep base.\nAs of Aug. 2, Snowflake stock is not a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177559620,"gmtCreate":1627254597560,"gmtModify":1633766949573,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/177559620","repostId":"2153936352","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153936352","pubTimestamp":1627180340,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2153936352?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-25 10:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Will Square Be Worth More Than PayPal by 2025?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2153936352","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Could the ambitious fintech company overtake the market leader?","content":"<p><b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ) and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a></b> (NASDAQ:PYPL) have both generated massive returns for patient investors over the past few years. Square went public at $9 per share in late 2015, and it's now trading at around $260.

That isn't surprising, since PayPal still serves a much larger audience and operates in more countries than Square. But gazing into the future, could Square eventually match -- or even surpass -- PayPal's valuation by 2025? Let's examine both fintech companies' growth trajectories and valuations to find out.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3384d45efb17ed54b398c7dbcc043fb\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><b>Wild ambitions vs. stable growth</b></h2>\n<p>Square and PayPal's core business models are similar. Both companies charge businesses flat fees, which vary by platform and transaction type, to process payments. Both companies offer small business loans. Square's Cash App and PayPal's Venmo both enable consumers to make peer-to-peer payments, and both companies provide branded debit cards that are linked to users' online accounts.</p>\n<p>But Square has been willing to take bolder risks than PayPal over the past few years. It expanded its services ecosystem with online payroll management services and analytics tools, and recently launched a full suite of online banking services. Square also added <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC) purchases to its Cash App in 2018, added free stock trades to the app to challenge Robinhood in 2019, and plans to add Credit Karma's tax filing services to its ecosystem in the near future.</p>\n<p>PayPal only started offering cryptocurrency trades last October, and it doesn't have any near-term plans to launch stock trading tools or dedicated tax filing services, or expand into a full-blown online bank like Square. Simply put, Square seems to have wilder and grander ambitions than PayPal.</p>\n<h2>Which company is growing faster?</h2>\n<p>Between 2015 and 2020, Square grew its annual revenue at a CAGR of 49.6%. Excluding its massive gain in Bitcoin revenue last year, it would still have grown its revenue at a CAGR of 31.2% over the past five years. PayPal's annual revenue grew at a CAGR of 18.5% between 2015 and 2020. Let's take a look at Wall Street's expectations for both companies over the next two years.</p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"600\">\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n <th width=\"118\"><p>Company</p></th>\n <th width=\"213\"><p>Estimated Sales Growth (FY 2021)</p></th>\n <th width=\"225\"><p>Estimated Sales Growth(FY 2022)</p></th>\n </tr>\n <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n <td width=\"118\"><p><b>Square</b></p></td>\n <td width=\"213\"><p>110.6%</p></td>\n <td width=\"225\"><p>14.1%</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr valign=\"TOP\">\n <td width=\"118\"><p><b>PayPal</b></p></td>\n <td width=\"213\"><p>20.6%</p></td>\n <td width=\"225\"><p>21.5%</p></td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: Yahoo Finance, July 22.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect Square's Bitcoin revenue to continue rising this year before cooling off next year. They also expect its growth in transaction-based and seller service revenue, which slowed down during the pandemic, to recover as more businesses reopen. The Cash App, which grew its monthly active users 50% to 36 million in 2020, should also keep expanding as Square adds new services.</p>\n<p>Cathie Wood's ARK Invest expects Square's transaction-based and seller service revenues to grow at a CAGR of 19% through 2025. It also expects the Cash App's MAUs to more than double to 75 million, for Square to monetize roughly 40% of those users, and for its average revenue per Cash App user to grow from $25 in 2019 to $260 in 2025 -- which would represent a whopping CAGR of 49%.</p>\n<p>PayPal's growth should remain more predictable, since it doesn't generate significant revenue from cryptocurrencies yet. Instead, it will mainly rely on its growth in active accounts, which rose 21% year-over-year to 392 million last quarter, to generate stable revenue from its processing fees.</p>\n<p>PayPal expects to nearly double its active accounts to 750 million and <i>more than double</i> its annual revenue to over $50 billion by 2025. It also plans to grow its earnings at a CAGR of 22% from 2020 to 2025. It believes the rising acceptance of QR codes and NFC payments, the expansion of its financial services, and higher engagement rates for its apps will all drive that long-term growth.</p>\n<h2>Will Square be worth more than PayPal by 2025?</h2>\n<p>In a best-case scenario, ARK Invest believes Square's stock could hit $500 per share by 2025 if it hits its growth targets. But unlike PayPal, Square hasn't provided any concrete targets of its own yet.</p>\n<p>If Square hits $500 and its valuations hold steady, it could be worth just over $200 billion by 2025. Meanwhile, if PayPal achieves its goals of more than doubling its annual revenue and growing its EPS at a CAGR of 22% through 2025, its stock could easily double and boost its market cap to $700 billion.</p>\n<p>Therefore, it's doubtful that Square -- which already trades at higher valuations than PayPal -- will be the more valuable company by 2025. But that doesn't mean PayPal is necessarily a better growth stock than Square. I personally own Square instead of PayPal, because I admire its ambitious and forward-thinking strategies. Both stocks are still great long-term investments on the booming fintech market, so investors shouldn't fret too much over which company has the higher market cap.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Will Square Be Worth More Than PayPal by 2025?</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\">\nWill Square Be Worth More Than PayPal by 2025?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-25 10:32 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/will-square-be-worth-more-than-paypal-by-2025/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Square (NYSE:SQ) and PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) have both generated massive returns for patient investors over the past few years.

Both companies charge businesses flat fees, which vary by platform and transaction type, to process payments. Both companies offer small business loans. Square's Cash App and PayPal's Venmo both enable consumers to make peer-to-peer payments, and both companies provide branded debit cards that are linked to users' online accounts.\nBut Square has been willing to take bolder risks than PayPal over the past few years. It expanded its services ecosystem with online payroll management services and analytics tools, and recently launched a full suite of online banking services. Square also added Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) purchases to its Cash App in 2018, added free stock trades to the app to challenge Robinhood in 2019, and plans to add Credit Karma's tax filing services to its ecosystem in the near future.\nPayPal only started offering cryptocurrency trades last October, and it doesn't have any near-term plans to launch stock trading tools or dedicated tax filing services, or expand into a full-blown online bank like Square. Simply put, Square seems to have wilder and grander ambitions than PayPal.\nWhich company is growing faster?\nBetween 2015 and 2020, Square grew its annual revenue at a CAGR of 49.6%. Excluding its massive gain in Bitcoin revenue last year, it would still have grown its revenue at a CAGR of 31.2% over the past five years. PayPal's annual revenue grew at a CAGR of 18.5% between 2015 and 2020. Let's take a look at Wall Street's expectations for both companies over the next two years.\n\n\n\n\nCompany\nEstimated Sales Growth (FY 2021)\nEstimated Sales Growth(FY 2022)\n\n\nSquare\n110.6%\n14.1%\n\n\nPayPal\n20.6%\n21.5%\n\n\n\nSource: Yahoo Finance, July 22.\nAnalysts expect Square's Bitcoin revenue to continue rising this year before cooling off next year. They also expect its growth in transaction-based and seller service revenue, which slowed down during the pandemic, to recover as more businesses reopen. The Cash App, which grew its monthly active users 50% to 36 million in 2020, should also keep expanding as Square adds new services.\nCathie Wood's ARK Invest expects Square's transaction-based and seller service revenues to grow at a CAGR of 19% through 2025. It also expects the Cash App's MAUs to more than double to 75 million, for Square to monetize roughly 40% of those users, and for its average revenue per Cash App user to grow from $25 in 2019 to $260 in 2025 -- which would represent a whopping CAGR of 49%.\nPayPal's growth should remain more predictable, since it doesn't generate significant revenue from cryptocurrencies yet. Instead, it will mainly rely on its growth in active accounts, which rose 21% year-over-year to 392 million last quarter, to generate stable revenue from its processing fees.\nPayPal expects to nearly double its active accounts to 750 million and more than double its annual revenue to over $50 billion by 2025. It also plans to grow its earnings at a CAGR of 22% from 2020 to 2025. It believes the rising acceptance of QR codes and NFC payments, the expansion of its financial services, and higher engagement rates for its apps will all drive that long-term growth.\nWill Square be worth more than PayPal by 2025?\nIn a best-case scenario, ARK Invest believes Square's stock could hit $500 per share by 2025 if it hits its growth targets. But unlike PayPal, Square hasn't provided any concrete targets of its own yet.\nIf Square hits $500 and its valuations hold steady, it could be worth just over $200 billion by 2025. Meanwhile, if PayPal achieves its goals of more than doubling its annual revenue and growing its EPS at a CAGR of 22% through 2025, its stock could easily double and boost its market cap to $700 billion.\nTherefore, it's doubtful that Square -- which already trades at higher valuations than PayPal -- will be the more valuable company by 2025. But that doesn't mean PayPal is necessarily a better growth stock than Square. I personally own Square instead of PayPal, because I admire its ambitious and forward-thinking strategies. Both stocks are still great long-term investments on the booming fintech market, so investors shouldn't fret too much over which company has the higher market cap.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":173600130,"gmtCreate":1626655605620,"gmtModify":1633925245846,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hey!","listText":"Hey!","text":"Hey!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/173600130","repostId":"2152682113","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152682113","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1626654040,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2152682113?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-19 08:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"LVMH-backed fund to buy 60% of Italian fashion label Etro-sources","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152682113","media":"Reuters","summary":"MILAN, July 18 (Reuters) - L Catterton, a private equity firm backed by French luxury giant LVMH , h","content":"<p>MILAN, July 18 (Reuters) - L Catterton, a private equity firm backed by French luxury giant LVMH , has agreed to buy a 60% stake in Italian fashion company Etro, two sources familiar with the matter said on Sunday.</p>\n<p>The deal values Etro at about 500 million euros ($590 million), the sources said, confirming reports in Italian newspapers La Repubblica and Il Sole 24 Ore.</p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Etro declined to comment.

Macaulay endowed professor of economics at Clemson University, and previously served as chief economist of the Federal Communications Commission. His latest book is</i>The Political Spectrum: The Tumultuous Liberation of Wireless Technologies, from Herbert Hoover to the Smartphone.</p>\n<p>Big Tech is in the antitrust hot seat. But before the Department of Justice tries to break up companies likeGoogleorApple,it should recall the history, and eventual outcome, of theAT&T-Time Warner merger.</p>\n<p>The DOJ expended extensive time and resources to stop AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner, marking the department’s first challenge to a major vertical merger in over 40 years. The government was unsuccessful despite its best efforts, which included an appeal to the D.C. Circuit, and time reveals that its concerns were evidently misplaced all along. The merger did not result in higher prices, program blackouts, or even any appreciable advantage for the companies.</p>\n<p>In October 2016 AT&Tannouncedits plan to buy Time Warner. Donald Trump’s presidential campaign trashed the merger in a statement: “AT&T … is now trying to buy Time Warner and thus the wildly anti-Trump CNN. Donald Trump would never approve such a deal.” With Trump in office, the DOJ moved to block it.</p>\n<p>In 2017, the DOJ went to court tocomplainthat the merger would “substantially lessen competition in video” by allowing AT&T to “use Time Warner’s ‘must have’” networks like CNN, TNT, TBS, and HBO to raise fees charged to rival cable TV distributors like Comcast or DISH. AT&T, which had acquired national satellite operator DirecTV, could threaten “blackouts” depriving rival distributors of key programs—their subscribers would then quit and flock to DirecTV (AT&T) so as to keep watching CNN or the NBA Playoffs on TNT. Not only would major TV and cable systems be hurt, but emerging online streaming services would be crushed.</p>\n<p>The government’s case focused on “vertical leveraging,” where a company uses two complementary products to make it more difficult for rivals to compete in the individual markets. Here, AT&T was combining video content creation with video program distribution; the allegation was that competitors in either segment might be hurt. Yet there are clear efficiencies to be had, as widely found in studies of vertically integrated firms, with joint operations boosting consumer happiness. Buyers at Costco eagerly snap up Costco-supplied Kirkland products—which the retailer stocks in place of those of some independent producers—if they improve price or quality. So facts, not just a story, are needed. District Court Judge Richard J. Leonfoundthat the DOJ case “falls far short of establishing the validity of its… theory.”</p>\n<p>Aside from the political overtones of the case, there was good historical reason to doubt the official complaint. A cable TV programmer combined with (or split from) a video distributor several times in recent years. Vertical integration did not cause higher prices, as shown by econometric analysis. Nor did vertical integration lead to “blackouts,” as the DOJ conceded. A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit confirmed Judge Leon’s opinion, finding that “the industry had become dynamic in recent years with the emergence, for example, of Netflix and Hulu.”</p>\n<p>Owning DirecTV and Time Warner together turned out to be not much advantage, let alone a monopoly. Despite a huge boost in pandemic demand for video content, rivals soon dined on AT&T-Time Warner’s lunch. When AT&T bought DirecTV in 2015, it paid $67 billion. In February 2021, with DirecTV’s satellite subscriber base collapsing, the spun-off operation wasvaluedat $16.3 billion.</p>\n<p>And AT&Tthen unloaded the video assets of Time Warner. A new enterprise—Warner Bros. Discovery—is being spun off and merged with Discovery (Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC, HGTV, the Food Networkand more). The content-only firm voluntarily severs the link the DOJ critiqued as easy monopoly money. With the allegations of anticompetitive bundling, it has been cast off as not worth the trouble.AT&T shareholders receive $43 billion, less than half the $100 billion AT&T expended (in debt and equity) for Time Warner three years ago. The government’s scenario of anti-competitive vertical integration proved a fantasy.</p>\n<p>AT&T’s maneuvers deserve whatever scorn billions in shareholder losses can buy. A cynic might offer that antitrust laws be beefed up to protect against such corporate errors, ignoring that economic penalties—more reliable and harsher than whatever antitrust enforcers might deal—are visibly in place. But little note has been made of the ironic political saga. Policymakers are moving full throttle to enact statutes to beef up antitrust prosecution in tech for exactly what AT&T so spectacularly failed to do in video. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) introduced the “Ending Monopoly Platforms Act” that would restrict vertical mergers in online services, for example. At least five other bills for new antitrust rules have been introduced.</p>\n<p>Not only can such policies be expensive legal diversions, they can block the innovations igniting exciting new choices for customers. Netflix has integrated from streaming into movie production, after launching Roku. Hulu was created by News Corp. (Fox) and NBC-Universal (Comcast). Amazon Prime Video, Sling, YouTube TV, Apple TV, Disney Plus, HBO Max and Paramount Plus—each has extended a large media or e-commerce platform. Each evolved from a quest for better products. Treating entrepreneurship as suspect puts the screws to just the disruptions now roiling online entertainment markets. AT&T learned the hard way that owning complementary products is no guarantee of success. </p>","source":"lsy1610680873436","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>Antitrust Activists Want to Go Full Throttle.

Hazlett is H.H. Macaulay endowed professor of economics at Clemson University, and previously served as chief economist of the Federal Communications Commission. His latest book isThe Political Spectrum: The Tumultuous Liberation of Wireless Technologies, from Herbert Hoover to the Smartphone.\nBig Tech is in the antitrust hot seat. But before the Department of Justice tries to break up companies likeGoogleorApple,it should recall the history, and eventual outcome, of theAT&T-Time Warner merger.\nThe DOJ expended extensive time and resources to stop AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner, marking the department’s first challenge to a major vertical merger in over 40 years. The government was unsuccessful despite its best efforts, which included an appeal to the D.C. Circuit, and time reveals that its concerns were evidently misplaced all along. The merger did not result in higher prices, program blackouts, or even any appreciable advantage for the companies.\nIn October 2016 AT&Tannouncedits plan to buy Time Warner. Donald Trump’s presidential campaign trashed the merger in a statement: “AT&T … is now trying to buy Time Warner and thus the wildly anti-Trump CNN. Donald Trump would never approve such a deal.” With Trump in office, the DOJ moved to block it.\nIn 2017, the DOJ went to court tocomplainthat the merger would “substantially lessen competition in video” by allowing AT&T to “use Time Warner’s ‘must have’” networks like CNN, TNT, TBS, and HBO to raise fees charged to rival cable TV distributors like Comcast or DISH. AT&T, which had acquired national satellite operator DirecTV, could threaten “blackouts” depriving rival distributors of key programs—their subscribers would then quit and flock to DirecTV (AT&T) so as to keep watching CNN or the NBA Playoffs on TNT. Not only would major TV and cable systems be hurt, but emerging online streaming services would be crushed.\nThe government’s case focused on “vertical leveraging,” where a company uses two complementary products to make it more difficult for rivals to compete in the individual markets. Here, AT&T was combining video content creation with video program distribution; the allegation was that competitors in either segment might be hurt. Yet there are clear efficiencies to be had, as widely found in studies of vertically integrated firms, with joint operations boosting consumer happiness. Buyers at Costco eagerly snap up Costco-supplied Kirkland products—which the retailer stocks in place of those of some independent producers—if they improve price or quality. So facts, not just a story, are needed. District Court Judge Richard J. Leonfoundthat the DOJ case “falls far short of establishing the validity of its… theory.”\nAside from the political overtones of the case, there was good historical reason to doubt the official complaint. A cable TV programmer combined with (or split from) a video distributor several times in recent years. Vertical integration did not cause higher prices, as shown by econometric analysis. Nor did vertical integration lead to “blackouts,” as the DOJ conceded. A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit confirmed Judge Leon’s opinion, finding that “the industry had become dynamic in recent years with the emergence, for example, of Netflix and Hulu.”\nOwning DirecTV and Time Warner together turned out to be not much advantage, let alone a monopoly. Despite a huge boost in pandemic demand for video content, rivals soon dined on AT&T-Time Warner’s lunch. When AT&T bought DirecTV in 2015, it paid $67 billion. In February 2021, with DirecTV’s satellite subscriber base collapsing, the spun-off operation wasvaluedat $16.3 billion.\nAnd AT&Tthen unloaded the video assets of Time Warner. A new enterprise—Warner Bros. Discovery—is being spun off and merged with Discovery (Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC, HGTV, the Food Networkand more). The content-only firm voluntarily severs the link the DOJ critiqued as easy monopoly money. With the allegations of anticompetitive bundling, it has been cast off as not worth the trouble.AT&T shareholders receive $43 billion, less than half the $100 billion AT&T expended (in debt and equity) for Time Warner three years ago. The government’s scenario of anti-competitive vertical integration proved a fantasy.\nAT&T’s maneuvers deserve whatever scorn billions in shareholder losses can buy. A cynic might offer that antitrust laws be beefed up to protect against such corporate errors, ignoring that economic penalties—more reliable and harsher than whatever antitrust enforcers might deal—are visibly in place. But little note has been made of the ironic political saga. Policymakers are moving full throttle to enact statutes to beef up antitrust prosecution in tech for exactly what AT&T so spectacularly failed to do in video. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) introduced the “Ending Monopoly Platforms Act” that would restrict vertical mergers in online services, for example. At least five other bills for new antitrust rules have been introduced.\nNot only can such policies be expensive legal diversions, they can block the innovations igniting exciting new choices for customers. Netflix has integrated from streaming into movie production, after launching Roku. Hulu was created by News Corp. (Fox) and NBC-Universal (Comcast). Amazon Prime Video, Sling, YouTube TV, Apple TV, Disney Plus, HBO Max and Paramount Plus—each has extended a large media or e-commerce platform. Each evolved from a quest for better products. Treating entrepreneurship as suspect puts the screws to just the disruptions now roiling online entertainment markets. AT&T learned the hard way that owning complementary products is no guarantee of success.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":79,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177559988,"gmtCreate":1627254575644,"gmtModify":1633766950062,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool!","listText":"Cool!","text":"Cool!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/177559988","repostId":"1176552691","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176552691","pubTimestamp":1627183789,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1176552691?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-25 11:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is IBM Stock Undervalued Or Overvalued?

However, this was largely due to the normal IBM Z mainframe cycle, down 13% year over year.</p>\n<p>The global financing division, which represents a low single digit percentage of overall revenues, was down 9%.

Among the Fortune 50 companies, 47 are IBM clients.</p>\n<p>Half of the world’s wireless connections are handled by the firm.</p>\n<p>IBM's mainframe systems process nearly 90% of the globe’s credit card transactions, and 97% of the world's largest banks rely on IBM products and services. Consequently, twenty-nine billion ATM transactions are processed annually using IBM systems.</p>\n<p>Eight out of 10 global retailers rely on IBM products and services while 80% of the travel industry's reservations run through IBM systems. That results in 4 billion flight reservations being processed using the company’s IT services.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7ace4f1436fd2697c5ad266b5017e1dd\" tg-width=\"960\" tg-height=\"721\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Forbes</span></p>\n<p>It is evident that IBM has a massive customer base that provides large scale recurring revenues. In many cases, moving to competitors' offerings would mean risking the transfer of sensitive information, a move many are not willing to take.</p>\n<p>However, with the transition to cloud services and open source software, there is an increased adoption by firms of mix and match IT infrastructures. In turn, this is eroding IBM’s competitive advantage associated with customer switching costs.</p>\n<p><b>The Sources Of Potential Growth</b></p>\n<p>Investors are generally aware of IBM's effort to drive growth through its hybrid cloud offerings. However, when questioned at JPMorgan’s recent investor conference, CFO Jim Kavanaugh provided insight into how hybrid cloud drives revenue in some of IBM’s other divisions.</p>\n<blockquote>\n For every $1 (in business) we land on a hybrid cloud platform, we see $3 to $5 of software drag and $6 to $8 of services drag overall.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Of course, Kavanaugh is using drag to refer to increased revenue in software and services associated with adoption of IBM’s hybrid cloud. If Kavanaugh’s claims are accurate, that means every dollar spent on the company’s hybrid cloud platform translates into $9 to $13 in additional revenue from the firm’s software and services offerings.</p>\n<p>Because hybrid cloud uses a mix of on-premises private cloud and public cloud services, it offers clients a degree of data privacy. This is of particular concern for customers in healthcare and financial services. Consequently, I would posit that IBM might have an advantage in competing with other hybrid cloud providers as it has extensive relationships within those industries.</p>\n<p>I reviewed a variety of prognostications regarding projected growth rates for the hybrid cloud market. The most recent study, which also falls in the middle of other predictions, is by Mordor Intelligence. That firm forecasts a CAGR of 18.73% from 2021 through 2026.</p>\n<p>Investors should be aware that the major operators in this space are Cisco (CSCO), Hewlett Packard (HPE), Amazon (AMZN), Citrix Systems (CTXS), and IBM.</p>\n<p>The following chart provides a record of the firm’s total cloud growth over the last six quarters.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fc85156e70f6caf8ae809f76126a723\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Company reports / Chart by Author</span></p>\n<p>Aside from cloud, there is another source of potential growth, although it is unlikely to materialize soon.</p>\n<p>Early in 2019, IBM introduced the Q System One. IBM Q systems are the world's first quantum computer designed for scientific and commercial use.</p>\n<p>Pardon the pun, but quantum computers represent a quantum leap in technology. Prescient And Strategic Intelligence forecasts a CAGR of 56% for the industry through 2030 with the quantum computer market share reaching nearly $65 billion.</p>\n<p>For additional insights regarding quantum computing and IBM’s position within that industry, I point you to my article, “IBM: Why My Eye Is Fixed On Big Blue.”</p>\n<p><b>Understanding Kyndryl</b></p>\n<p>Once Kyndryl is launched, it will have more than 90,000 employees and more than 4,600 customers in 115 countries. With a $60 billion services backlog, the new entity will begin with projected revenues of $19 billion. At twice the size of its closest competitor, the company will be the world’s largest managed infrastructure services provider.</p>\n<p>The split will transform IBM from a company that pulls half of its revenue from services to a firm with its software and solutions businesses generating over half of its revenue on a recurring basis.</p>\n<p>Global Business Services, which currently constitutes 22% of the company’s revenue, will account for over 40% of sales. Here it is important to note that the division grew revenue by 12% year over year in the last quarter.</p>\n<p>IBM will retain Red Hat and its solution provider business, the systems businesses, and its mission-critical public cloud service, and a software portfolio focused on big data, AI, and security.</p>\n<p>Initially, the two companies will each be the largest customer of the other.</p>\n<p>What remains to be known regarding the spinoff is how much debt each company will shoulder, and the share of the dividend that the companies will pay. Krishna stated the two companies will work together to sustain the current payout level.</p>\n<p><b>Has IBM Turned The Corner?</b></p>\n<p>Anyone who follows IBM knows the company has experienced an extended period of poor results. The following chart provides a record of the firm’s quarterly FCF over the last fourteen quarters.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60cc8b82052f97dd449205999ee30711\" tg-width=\"577\" tg-height=\"337\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Data from ycharts / chart by author</span></p>\n<p>While this is not proof positive that the company is back on track, the recent trend is at least encouraging.</p>\n<p>In 2020, IBM generated $10.8 billion in free cash flow. Management guides for adjusted free cash flow of $11 billion to $12 billion in 2021. This excludes $3 billion in structural impacts related to the Kyndryl spinoff.</p>\n<p>The CEO recently stated he expects IBM to generate $12 billion to $13 billion in FCF in 2022.</p>\n<p><b>Debt And Dividend</b></p>\n<p>While investors can rightfully complain of a variety of management moves over the years, the firm has maintained a reasonable debt profile while engaging in a number of acquisitions.</p>\n<p>The company has reduced the debt by roughly $18 billion since its peak in mid-2019. IBM maintains an investment level credit rating, and the following chart provides a record of the company’s progress paying down debt of late.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b73e613157c486a5f5e8306546121971\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: IBM Presentation</span></p>\n<p>IBM has a yield of 4.64%, a payout ratio a bit below 61%, and a 5 year dividend growth rate of 4.26%. As previously noted, following the spinoff of Kyndryl, the two companies will team to provide a payout equivalent to the current dividend.</p>\n<p><b>Is IBM Stock Overvalued?</b></p>\n<p>IBM shares trade for $141.13. The average 12 month price target of 8 analysts is $153.50. The price target of the 3 analysts rating the stock since the last earnings report is $151.33.</p>\n<p>IBM has a P/E of 24.05x and a forward P/E of 17.67x. This compares to its five year averages of 16.42x and 13.25x respectively. It is well below the sector average which is in the low thirties for both metrics.</p>\n<p>The 3 to 5 year PEG provided by Seeking Alpha Premium is 1.16x. Schwab calculates a PEG of 1.49x, and Yahoo does not provide a PEG ratio.</p>\n<p>I believe the current P/E ratios for the stock reflect investors anticipating increased growth for IBM once the spinoff is complete. The PEG ratios show the stock is reasonably valued.</p>\n<p><b>Is IBM Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?</b></p>\n<p>IBM has an entrenched but evolving position among many of the largest companies on the globe. Unfortunately, the cloud, which is seen as the company’s primary avenue for growth, could also lead to a slow deterioration in some of the firm’s legacy businesses.</p>\n<p>That the cloud business has been growing at a rapid pace is manifest: IBM can now boast of over 3,200 clients using the firm’s hybrid cloud platform. That is nearly four times the number just prior to the Red Hat acquisition.</p>\n<p>If management’s claims are accurate, the hybrid cloud platform will create robust growth in the software and services division’s revenues. When combined with the spinoff of Kyndryl’s slow growing managed infrastructure services business, it is reasonable to believe IBM will witness increased growth.</p>\n<p>IBM has a solid balance sheet, a robust yield, and when viewed using PEG ratios as a basis for valuing the stock, the shares are trading at a bit of a discount.</p>\n<p>All considered, I rate IBM as a BUY.</p>\n<p>I think the worst case short to mid-term scenario is that the company experiences slow growth while investors collect a rather robust dividend.</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>Is IBM Stock Undervalued Or Overvalued?

However, when questioned at JPMorgan’s recent investor conference, CFO Jim Kavanaugh provided insight into how hybrid cloud drives revenue in some of IBM’s other divisions.\n\n For every $1 (in business) we land on a hybrid cloud platform, we see $3 to $5 of software drag and $6 to $8 of services drag overall.\n\nOf course, Kavanaugh is using drag to refer to increased revenue in software and services associated with adoption of IBM’s hybrid cloud. If Kavanaugh’s claims are accurate, that means every dollar spent on the company’s hybrid cloud platform translates into $9 to $13 in additional revenue from the firm’s software and services offerings.\nBecause hybrid cloud uses a mix of on-premises private cloud and public cloud services, it offers clients a degree of data privacy. This is of particular concern for customers in healthcare and financial services. Consequently, I would posit that IBM might have an advantage in competing with other hybrid cloud providers as it has extensive relationships within those industries.\nI reviewed a variety of prognostications regarding projected growth rates for the hybrid cloud market. The most recent study, which also falls in the middle of other predictions, is by Mordor Intelligence. That firm forecasts a CAGR of 18.73% from 2021 through 2026.\nInvestors should be aware that the major operators in this space are Cisco (CSCO), Hewlett Packard (HPE), Amazon (AMZN), Citrix Systems (CTXS), and IBM.\nThe following chart provides a record of the firm’s total cloud growth over the last six quarters.\nSource: Company reports / Chart by Author\nAside from cloud, there is another source of potential growth, although it is unlikely to materialize soon.\nEarly in 2019, IBM introduced the Q System One. IBM Q systems are the world's first quantum computer designed for scientific and commercial use.\nPardon the pun, but quantum computers represent a quantum leap in technology. Prescient And Strategic Intelligence forecasts a CAGR of 56% for the industry through 2030 with the quantum computer market share reaching nearly $65 billion.\nFor additional insights regarding quantum computing and IBM’s position within that industry, I point you to my article, “IBM: Why My Eye Is Fixed On Big Blue.”\nUnderstanding Kyndryl\nOnce Kyndryl is launched, it will have more than 90,000 employees and more than 4,600 customers in 115 countries. With a $60 billion services backlog, the new entity will begin with projected revenues of $19 billion. At twice the size of its closest competitor, the company will be the world’s largest managed infrastructure services provider.\nThe split will transform IBM from a company that pulls half of its revenue from services to a firm with its software and solutions businesses generating over half of its revenue on a recurring basis.\nGlobal Business Services, which currently constitutes 22% of the company’s revenue, will account for over 40% of sales. Here it is important to note that the division grew revenue by 12% year over year in the last quarter.\nIBM will retain Red Hat and its solution provider business, the systems businesses, and its mission-critical public cloud service, and a software portfolio focused on big data, AI, and security.\nInitially, the two companies will each be the largest customer of the other.\nWhat remains to be known regarding the spinoff is how much debt each company will shoulder, and the share of the dividend that the companies will pay. Krishna stated the two companies will work together to sustain the current payout level.\nHas IBM Turned The Corner?\nAnyone who follows IBM knows the company has experienced an extended period of poor results. The following chart provides a record of the firm’s quarterly FCF over the last fourteen quarters.\nSource: Data from ycharts / chart by author\nWhile this is not proof positive that the company is back on track, the recent trend is at least encouraging.\nIn 2020, IBM generated $10.8 billion in free cash flow. Management guides for adjusted free cash flow of $11 billion to $12 billion in 2021. This excludes $3 billion in structural impacts related to the Kyndryl spinoff.\nThe CEO recently stated he expects IBM to generate $12 billion to $13 billion in FCF in 2022.\nDebt And Dividend\nWhile investors can rightfully complain of a variety of management moves over the years, the firm has maintained a reasonable debt profile while engaging in a number of acquisitions.\nThe company has reduced the debt by roughly $18 billion since its peak in mid-2019. IBM maintains an investment level credit rating, and the following chart provides a record of the company’s progress paying down debt of late.\nSource: IBM Presentation\nIBM has a yield of 4.64%, a payout ratio a bit below 61%, and a 5 year dividend growth rate of 4.26%. As previously noted, following the spinoff of Kyndryl, the two companies will team to provide a payout equivalent to the current dividend.\nIs IBM Stock Overvalued?\nIBM shares trade for $141.13. The average 12 month price target of 8 analysts is $153.50. The price target of the 3 analysts rating the stock since the last earnings report is $151.33.\nIBM has a P/E of 24.05x and a forward P/E of 17.67x. This compares to its five year averages of 16.42x and 13.25x respectively. It is well below the sector average which is in the low thirties for both metrics.\nThe 3 to 5 year PEG provided by Seeking Alpha Premium is 1.16x. Schwab calculates a PEG of 1.49x, and Yahoo does not provide a PEG ratio.\nI believe the current P/E ratios for the stock reflect investors anticipating increased growth for IBM once the spinoff is complete. The PEG ratios show the stock is reasonably valued.\nIs IBM Stock A Good Long-Term Investment?\nIBM has an entrenched but evolving position among many of the largest companies on the globe. Unfortunately, the cloud, which is seen as the company’s primary avenue for growth, could also lead to a slow deterioration in some of the firm’s legacy businesses.\nThat the cloud business has been growing at a rapid pace is manifest: IBM can now boast of over 3,200 clients using the firm’s hybrid cloud platform. That is nearly four times the number just prior to the Red Hat acquisition.\nIf management’s claims are accurate, the hybrid cloud platform will create robust growth in the software and services division’s revenues. When combined with the spinoff of Kyndryl’s slow growing managed infrastructure services business, it is reasonable to believe IBM will witness increased growth.\nIBM has a solid balance sheet, a robust yield, and when viewed using PEG ratios as a basis for valuing the stock, the shares are trading at a bit of a discount.\nAll considered, I rate IBM as a BUY.\nI think the worst case short to mid-term scenario is that the company experiences slow growth while investors collect a rather robust dividend.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":140,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":878604825,"gmtCreate":1637185191474,"gmtModify":1637185191603,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/878604825","repostId":"1109220263","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109220263","pubTimestamp":1637162760,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1109220263?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-17 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock: 3 Cool Facts About the Rally and Pullback","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109220263","media":"TheStreet","summary":"Tesla shares have been on a tear in Q4.

Public-health officials have said that COVID's delta variant is present in the nose and mouth at levels of more than 1,000 times the original virus.</p>\n<p>So even though vaccinated people are protected from its symptoms, they can still spread the delta variant, whose contagiousness is greater than the common cold, and on a par with the most-transmissible illnesses like chickenpox, epidemiologists have said.</p>\n<p>Minerd, though acknowledging that he isn't a medical expert in a CNBC interview, said that he is worried that the recent spike might see U.S. cases surge within six to eight weeks to levels not seen since last December at around 200,000.</p>\n<p>He referred to the current surge in the pandemic as \"mind-numbing,\" in the interview with the business television network.</p>\n<p>\"The increase in the absolute number of cases on a weekly basis appears to be similar to what we witnessed last summer when COVID infections began to spike going into the autumn,\" the Guggenheim CIO wrote in his blog .</p>\n<p>He pointed to the \"R\" transmission rate of the delta variant. He notes that the transmission rate of the initial strain of the coronavirus back in early 2020 \"was somewhere between two and three, meaning that if someone were exposed to the virus, they would, on average, infect two to three more people.\"</p>\n<p>If the R rate of an infectious disease is less than 1, the disease will \"eventually peter out,\" but if it is greater than 1 it will spread, he noted.</p>\n<p>The R rate of the delta variant is around six, \"which is two to three times more transmissible than the initial COVID strain,\" Minerd wrote.</p>\n<p>Minerd speculated that the stock market could see a 10% or 20% correction, due to the economic slowdown resulting from a fresh delta-fueled rise in case counts.</p>\n<p>\"The potential resurgence of the pandemic is happening during a seasonally weak period for risk assets. This increases the probability of downside risk,\" he wrote.</p>\n<p>On Friday afternoon , the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 index were off less than 1% from their July 26 record highs, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was off a little over 1% from its record earlier this week.</p>\n<p>To be sure, a number of analysts view the market as richly valued and make the case that its current loftiness might merit a pullback, especially if American corporations have reached peak earnings and the economy has seen peak growth in the aftermath of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Still, Minerd told the business network that a correction, although painful for investors, could present \"a great buying opportunity.\"</p>\n<p>Against his downside backdrop, Minerd also sees the possibility that the benchmark 10-year Treasury rate could fall from 1.23% to around 0.65%, which would bring the yields for the government debt, used to price everything from mortgages to car loans, to its lowest level since Octoberand September of 2020.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This means they usually provide consistent dividends and stable earnings regardless of the performance ofstock markets</p>\n<p>When there’s an economic downturn, investors often look to shore up their investments by rushing to what they perceive as safe haven stocks – defensive stocks are perceived this way as their value usually falls less than their value orgrowth</p>\n<p><b>Examples of defensive stocks</b></p>\n<p>Defence stocks – the shares of companies that manufacture military weapons, ammunition, and fighter jets – are an excellent example of defensive stocks because they’re at the cutting edge of many sciences and have a ready-made customer base.</p>\n<p>Many other sectors are also considered defensive, for example:</p>\n<p><b>Utilities</b></p>\n<p>Water, electric, gas and broadband supply utilities are examples of defensive stocks because we all still need them during all economic cycles.</p>\n<p>Utility firms can benefit from a slower economic environment because interest rates tend to be lowered by central banks to guard against the worst effects of a recession; therefore, consumers can still afford to heat their homes and buy petrol at the pump.</p>\n<p><b>Consumer staples</b></p>\n<p>Firms that produce or sell consumer staples, which people buy out of necessity, are generally thought of as defensive whatever the economic condition. Supermarkets are a good example.</p>\n<p>They sell food, drinks, tobacco, and household items. The supermarkets and the companies that fill their shelves generate steady cash flow and more predictable earnings during strong and weak economies. As a result, such stocks often outperformcyclical stocks</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HCSG\">Healthcare</a> stocks</b></p>\n<p>Pharmaceutical firms and medical device makers</p>\n<p>But as with any sector, some healthcare stocks are as risky as dot coms. For example, in 2020-2021 when just about any listed pharma firm claimed to be making a CV-19 drug breakthrough, it caused a huge and unsustainable surge in prices - known as abubble</p>\n<p><b>Why invest in or trade defensive stocks?</b></p>\n<p>You’d invest in or trade defensive stocks if you’re looking to protect your portfolio when the economy is weak or the stock market is experiencing high volatility.</p>\n<p>Plus, defensive stocks are often well-established companies with a long history of stock market earnings and dividends, so they’re often of interest to dividend investors, or to anyone looking to find long-term gains with lower risk than other stocks.</p>\n<p>Defence stocks also provide a means of diversifying a portfolio. For example, rather than going all-in on tech stocks that are more susceptible to price fluctuations, you can spread your risk across both cyclical and defensive stocks.</p>\n<p><b>How to find good defensive stocks</b></p>\n<p>The main way of finding a defensive stock is looking at its beta – the measure of a stock’s volatility compared to the wider market. Typically, defensive stocks will have a lower beta, as they’re less affected by price swings.</p>\n<p>It’s best to create a set of perameters for the stocks you’re interested in, otherwise you’ll end up combing through the entire stock market to establish which defensive stocks to invest in. For example, you might narrow your search to a particular country, sector or index.</p>\n<p>You can also identify defensive stocks by looking for companies that have consistently paid out dividends over the years, including during recessions.</p>\n<p><b>Defensive stock advantages</b></p>\n<p>There are a number of advantages to investing in defensive stocks; these include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Creating a starting point if you’re new to the market</b>– defensive stocks can be a terrific investment and trading starting point for inexperienced investors and traders as they should, in theory, be less volatile, rise and fall in tighter ranges, and be more predictable than growth stocks</li>\n <li><b>Reducing the impact of volatility on your portfolio</b>– during recessions, investors use defensive stocks as a mechanism to protect against losses by generating dividend yields and returns when such value isn’t being created in other sectors. In this sense, defensive stocks canhedgethe losses you might experience in other parts of your portfolio</li>\n <li><b>Providing a more consistent revenue stream</b>– defensive stocks can generate income over and above any other share price increases, and they often deliver the best dividends even in bearish markets</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Best defensive stocks</b></p>\n<p>Let’s take a look at some of the most famous defensive stocks spanning consumer staples, utility firms, healthcare and defense stocks.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FDX\">FedEx</a> (FDX)</b></p>\n<p>The delivery sector experienced considerable success during the pandemic because consumers were buying more online.

Discover what defensive stocks are and how to use them.\nWhat are defensive stocks?\nDefensive stocks are theshares of companiesthat have continual demand for their products, so they tend to be more stable during most business cycles than ‘risk on’ or ‘growth’ stocks. This means they usually provide consistent dividends and stable earnings regardless of the performance ofstock markets\nWhen there’s an economic downturn, investors often look to shore up their investments by rushing to what they perceive as safe haven stocks – defensive stocks are perceived this way as their value usually falls less than their value orgrowth\nExamples of defensive stocks\nDefence stocks – the shares of companies that manufacture military weapons, ammunition, and fighter jets – are an excellent example of defensive stocks because they’re at the cutting edge of many sciences and have a ready-made customer base.\nMany other sectors are also considered defensive, for example:\nUtilities\nWater, electric, gas and broadband supply utilities are examples of defensive stocks because we all still need them during all economic cycles.\nUtility firms can benefit from a slower economic environment because interest rates tend to be lowered by central banks to guard against the worst effects of a recession; therefore, consumers can still afford to heat their homes and buy petrol at the pump.\nConsumer staples\nFirms that produce or sell consumer staples, which people buy out of necessity, are generally thought of as defensive whatever the economic condition. Supermarkets are a good example.\nThey sell food, drinks, tobacco, and household items. The supermarkets and the companies that fill their shelves generate steady cash flow and more predictable earnings during strong and weak economies. As a result, such stocks often outperformcyclical stocks\nHealthcare stocks\nPharmaceutical firms and medical device makers\nBut as with any sector, some healthcare stocks are as risky as dot coms. For example, in 2020-2021 when just about any listed pharma firm claimed to be making a CV-19 drug breakthrough, it caused a huge and unsustainable surge in prices - known as abubble\nWhy invest in or trade defensive stocks?\nYou’d invest in or trade defensive stocks if you’re looking to protect your portfolio when the economy is weak or the stock market is experiencing high volatility.\nPlus, defensive stocks are often well-established companies with a long history of stock market earnings and dividends, so they’re often of interest to dividend investors, or to anyone looking to find long-term gains with lower risk than other stocks.\nDefence stocks also provide a means of diversifying a portfolio. For example, rather than going all-in on tech stocks that are more susceptible to price fluctuations, you can spread your risk across both cyclical and defensive stocks.\nHow to find good defensive stocks\nThe main way of finding a defensive stock is looking at its beta – the measure of a stock’s volatility compared to the wider market. Typically, defensive stocks will have a lower beta, as they’re less affected by price swings.\nIt’s best to create a set of perameters for the stocks you’re interested in, otherwise you’ll end up combing through the entire stock market to establish which defensive stocks to invest in. For example, you might narrow your search to a particular country, sector or index.\nYou can also identify defensive stocks by looking for companies that have consistently paid out dividends over the years, including during recessions.\nDefensive stock advantages\nThere are a number of advantages to investing in defensive stocks; these include:\n\nCreating a starting point if you’re new to the market– defensive stocks can be a terrific investment and trading starting point for inexperienced investors and traders as they should, in theory, be less volatile, rise and fall in tighter ranges, and be more predictable than growth stocks\nReducing the impact of volatility on your portfolio– during recessions, investors use defensive stocks as a mechanism to protect against losses by generating dividend yields and returns when such value isn’t being created in other sectors.

another hit Wednesday, after two Wall Street analysts abandoned their bullish calls in the wake of the packaged foods company's warning that a 'substantial increase' in inflation in the past three months will take a more than $250 million bite out of profit this year.</p>\n<p>The stock had dropped as much as 2.0% to an intraday low of $33.30, before paring losses to close down 0.3% at a

pattern as the company executes its pricing initiatives and experiences the lag in pricing in relation to rampant inflation,\" Growe wrote in a note to clients.</p>\n<p>Conagra Chief Financial Officer David Marberger had said on the post-earnings conference call with analysts that the company's assumption for inflation had jumped to 6% in April 2021, from 3% two years earlier.</p>\n<p>\"And as all of you know, inflation has continued to rise sharply since April,\" Marberger said, according to a FactSet transcript. \"We now currently expect fiscal 2022 inflation to come in around 9%.\"</p>\n<p>He said the increase in inflation expectations from just three months ago equates to about $255 million in additional costs in the coming year.</p>\n<p>Conagra's stock has lost 6.5% year to date, while the SPDR Consumer Staples Select Sector exchange-traded fund <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLP\">$(XLP)$</a> has gained 4.7% and the S&P 500 index has advanced 16.5%.</p>\n<p>The ominous inflation outlook comes as the latest government data showed both wholesale columns.</p>\n<p>Conagra Chief Executive Sean Connolly said that while the company has been \"hustling\" to offset the sharp rise in inflation by implementing price increases, \"mechanically, there is a real lag effect\" between when the pricing actions can mitigate the negative impact of higher costs.</p>\n<p>\"This timing mismatch is expected to be particularly impactful in H1 and, more specifically, in Q1,\" Connolly said. \"The resulting pressure on our first-half margins impact our full-year profit.\"</p>\n<p>Bank of America's Bryan Spillane lowered his rating on the stock to neutral from buy, and dropped his price target to $36 from $44.</p>\n<p>He said the coming fiscal year 2022 (FY22) will be a \"transition year\" for Conagra, as the company takes actions to combat inflation and faces difficult comparisons with strong year-ago volume growth, which was boosted by COVID-19 pandemic-induced eat-at-home trends.</p>\n<p>\"Management is prudently managing the situation by maintaining its pressure on the consumer (marketing and new products),\" Spillane wrote. \"However, with the inflation-related earnings gap this year, we see the stock being range bound until the market gets a better sense on sales and earnings growth prospects for

thrive with low interest rates.</p>\n<p>The $24 billion of 30-year bonds were sold to yield 2.00%, or more than two basis points above where the debt had traded before the auction.</p>\n<p>The jump in inflation ultimately is a negative hanging over a market that has enjoyed a remarkable rally since the lows of March 2020, said Rick Meckler, a partner at Cherry Lane Investments in New Vernon, New

In Europe, the broad FTSEurofirst 300 index added 0.07% to set a record close of 1,779.34.\nOn Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.31% to 34,888.79, the S&P 500 lost 0.35% to 4,369.21 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.38% to 14,677.65.\nStock investors could re-enter the market to buy \"on the dip\" as investors wait to see if the Federal Reserve takes aggressive steps to halt rising inflation, Meckler said.\nFederal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testifies before Congress on Wednesday and Thursday.\n\"A lot of this will play into the Fed's transitory story,\" Gennadiy Goldberg, interest rate strategist at TD Securities in New York, said about the CPI data. \"You can argue that a lot of this (inflation spike) is due to the recovery.\"\nThe dollar index , which tracks the greenback versus a basket of six currencies, rose 0.56% to 92.778. The euro fell 0.70% to $1.1776, while the Japanese yen was last up 0.24% at $110.6200.\nOvernight in Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1%, its best daily gain since late June, led by a 1.6% rise in Hong Kong , where tech stocks rose broadly. Japan's Nikkei was up 0.5% while Australian shares closed broadly flat.\nIn Hong Kong, tech behemoth Tencent Holdings Ltd jumped 3.9% after China's antitrust regulator on Tuesday approved its plan to take China's No.3 search engine, Sogou Inc, private in a $3.5 billion deal.\nEuro zone government bond yields have fallen in line with U.S. Treasuries in recent weeks, and are running close to their lowest levels since early April.\nGermany's 10-year bond yield was unchanged at -0.297%, close to a three-month low of -0.344% hit last week.\nSouth Africa's rand dropped to a three-month low, slipping 1.2% to 14.4000 against the dollar, as violence escalated over the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma.\nBrent crude settled up $1.33 at $76.49 a barrel. U.S. crude rose $1.15 to settle at $75.25 a barrel.\nGold was little changed as a firmer dollar offset support from bets that the Fed was unlikely to respond to the jump in U.S. inflation with immediate monetary tightening.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":5,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":142972856,"gmtCreate":1626130489975,"gmtModify":1633929949562,"author":{"id":"3584860762907200","authorId":"3584860762907200","name":"littlekitten","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ccd59ff6c96999c839e3b5709cfb00ef","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584860762907200","authorIdStr":"3584860762907200"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool!","listText":"Cool!","text":"Cool!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/142972856","repostId":"1175879126","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175879126","pubTimestamp":1626103561,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1175879126?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-12 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Suning’s Billionaire Chairman Quits After China-Led Bailout","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175879126","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Zhang Jindong has stepped down as the chairman of Chinese retail giant Suning.Com Co. after losing c","content":"<p>Zhang Jindong has stepped down as the chairman of Chinese retail giant Suning.Com Co. after losing control of his firm following a government-led bailout.</p>\n<p>The company announced his resignation in a filing with the Shenzhen stock exchange on Monday, adding that Zhang will be appointed honorary chairman to guide the firm’s future growth.

TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows.
