When the September quarter ended, Facebook had 2.91 billion monthly active users (MAUs) visiting its site, with another 670 million unique MAUs heading to Instagram and/or WhatsApp.&nbsp; This combined&nbsp;3.58 billion MAUs&nbsp;represents more than half of the global adult population. It's no wonder Meta's ad-pricing power is higher than just about any company on the planet.</p>\n<p>Meta hasn't even depressed the gas pedal all the way, either.

The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> (NYSEMKT:ARKK) is down 38% off its all-time high and down 22% year to date.</p>\n<p>ARK and Wood invest in lots of high-growth tech stocks that have been battered this year, which is what's causing the fund's poor performance. <b>Coinbase Global</b> (NASDAQ:COIN), <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b> (NYSE:PATH) are some of Cathie Wood's favorites, and all are between 20% and 50% off their all-time highs. However, the fact that millions of dollars of their stock are sitting in Wood's ETFs should be indicative of their long-term potential. These companies are trading at bargain prices today, so you might want to consider putting them on your watchlist.</p>\n<h2>Coinbase: A way to invest in crypto</h2>\n<p>Coinbase is ARK Invest's third-largest holding, clocking in at a market value of $1.25 billion. Shares of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange have sunk like a stone recently, falling 32% off its all-time highs. However, this isn't fully indicative of business performance.</p>\n<p>With over $255 billion in assets across 100 different countries and 72 million users, Coinbase has become a cornerstone of the crypto economy as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the leading, most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges. The company takes a cut of every purchase of crypto on the platform, so the rise in popularity of cryptocurrency has resulted in impressive revenue success. The company's revenue increased by over 330% year over year in Q3. With this, the company has also achieved impressive profitability: Coinbase brought almost one-third of its revenue to the bottom line.</p>\n<p>While its reliance on cryptocurrencies like <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC) has led to amazing growth recently, it's really a double-edged sword. The company makes money only on purchases of crypto, so in large-scale crypto sell-offs, the company is left stranded.

Whether this is justified or not, Coinbase will likely mimic the crypto market, and its success largely depends on the widespread adoption of crypto. Therefore, if you think that cryptocurrencies will skyrocket over the next decade, Coinbase could be a smart investment.</p>\n<h2>UiPath: An AI pureplay</h2>\n<p>While not as large as Coinbase, ARK ETFs hold over $1 billion of UiPath stock -- making it the sixth-largest holding across all of Wood's funds. UiPath is disrupting the way companies operate and handle tedious, repetitive tasks by normalizing the use of artificial intelligence and bots. The company has the vision to deliver a fully automated enterprise so that workers can optimize their efficiency, and the way the company is doing this has attracted companies like <b>AutoDesk</b> (NASDAQ:ADSK)&nbsp;and NASA.</p>\n<p>While UiPath's product sounds like a pie-in-the-sky dream, the company is more than real. It has over 9,600 customers and $818 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). With such dominance, UiPath has been named a market leader in the robotic process automation (RPA) market in <b>Gartner</b>'s Magic Quadrant. As the leader, it has gained the trust and confidence of companies that might be wary of bringing automation and robots into the workplace.</p>\n<p>UiPath has lots of potential to grow. The company sees a $30 billion addressable opportunity by 2024, which would be immense growth from its current $818 million in ARR. UiPath might get some pushback along the way from those wary of integrating robots into the workplace, but its robots can provide efficiency improvements. The company has saved its customers millions of hours and dollars without putting workers' jobs on the line. UiPath is meant to work alongside human employees, and it has been successful in doing so.</p>\n<p>Shares have fallen drastically since it came public earlier this year, and that has provided a valuation that an appealing valuation public at 60 times sales, but it now trades at 22 times sales. Cathie Wood has taken the opportunity to buy more shares this December, and you might want to consider doing the same.</p>\n<h2>Shopify: The rising e-commerce pick</h2>\n<p>Shopify is farther down at the 11th-largest ARK position, but still represents $950 million worth of shares -- and for good reason. The company has doubled its gross merchandise volume (GMV) over the past 16 months, reaching $400 billion in cumulative GMV on its merchants' platforms in Q3. This has been because of the company's relentless focus on its customers' growth and success. This is unrivaled by competitors like <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), which have often stifled SMBs by noticing their success and then offering and promoting a self-developed product that competes with them directly.</p>\n<p>The company recently announced a new feature that would make international sales easier for merchants. Shopify Markets would allow companies to streamline global expansion -- something many Shopify users might never have thought possible. The company also has plans to roll out additional features over the next few years, with one of my personal favorites being Shopify Fulfillment. With this, users could access the fulfillment network that Shopify is building out and let the company pack and ship orders for them.</p>\n<p>This focus on customer success is truly unique, which is why the company demands a very high premium. The company trades at roughly 40 times sales, which is the highest valuation out of these three stocks. However, I also believe that Shopify is the highest-quality stock on this list. While all three of these stocks are appealing, Shopify has proven itself the most, and the company's expansion efforts beyond SMB look very promising. While there is more risk that share prices could continue dropping, I think it is worth paying up for high-quality companies, and Shopify fits that bill. Given the number of shares that Cathie Wood owns, I think she is in agreement.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-26 10:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/3-bargain-stocks-that-cathie-wood-loves/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>After an astounding 2020, the chief investment officer of ARK Invest and stock picker extraordinaire Cathie Wood has had a rough 2021.

Gandler predicts that fuboTV will grab about 10% of that market -- roughly 5 million customers, compared to the 1 million it reached in November.</p>\n<p>fuboTV recorded astonishing triple-digit growth in subscribers and revenue in each of the three quarters in 2021:</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p><b>Key Metrics &amp; Year-Over-Year Growth (%)</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Q3'2021</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Q2'2021</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Q1'2021</b></p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Subscribers</p></td>\n   <td><p>108%</p></td>\n   <td><p>138%</p></td>\n   <td><p>105%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>156%</p></td>\n   <td><p>196%</p></td>\n   <td><p>135%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Subscription Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>158%</p></td>\n   <td><p>189%</p></td>\n   <td><p>131%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Advertising Revenue</p></td>\n   <td><p>147%</p></td>\n   <td><p>281%</p></td>\n   <td><p>206%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: Company earnings releases.</p>\n<p>According to Nielsen Media Research, overall subscribers grew 34% overall in fuboTV's sector of the TV business, suggesting that fuboTV has been gaining market share from its competitors. Furthermore, fuboTV was able to attain this growth while spending proportionally less on sales and marketing: just 32% of revenue, from 36% a year ago.</p>\n<p>Viewers streamed a total of 245 million hours of content, up 113% over the third quarter of 2020.

Though overall ad revenue grew more slowly than other third-quarter sales, the company did post 10% year-over-year growth in the average amount of monthly ad dollars it's bringing in per subscriber.</p>\n<h2><b>How fuboTV's tech helps keep viewers happy</b></h2>\n<p>fuboTV gathers data to figure out what its customers are watching -- and what they aren't. Analysts criticized its decisions this year to cut costs by not carrying the March Madness college basketball tournament, and dropping Turner Networks' slate of well-known channels. But subscribers surged anyway, even as the company cut its content costs. fuboTV also uses data to see where customers get stuck or frustrated in its web and mobile apps, so that it can quickly fix or improve those issues.</p>\n<p>Unlike its streaming or pay-TV rivals, fuboTV now offers viewers opportunities to play free games – like competing against other viewers to guess how quickly a player or team will score next – or place wagers on live games. fuboTV is backing up its conviction in interactivity with the recent acquisition of Edisn.ai, whose video recognition technology will allow fuboTV's viewers to track players in a live game, and view statistics for players on the screen.</p>\n<p>fuboTV's recently launched sports betting service will be another key catalyst for the company's future growth. It lets viewers place bets from their mobile device for the live games they're currently watching on fuboTV's video stream. Global sports betting is expected to grow at about 10% every year from 2021 to 2028, when it's estimated to reach $140 billion. Even a very small sliver of this large market will greatly benefit fuboTV.</p>\n<h2><b>fuboTV is not profitable yet&nbsp;</b></h2>\n<p>Many investors and analysts are concerned about fuboTV's current and future profitability.

Low interest rates and government stimulus have helped valuations soar in the IPO market in 2021. Companies also have more options when they’re thinking about going public, Thomas said.</p>\n<p>Companies don’t have to stick with just a traditional IPO but can also consider a direct listing or merging with a SPAC. “When companies have more choices, they’re more likely to pursue a public offering,” Thomas said.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HCSG\">Healthcare</a> and technology were the busiest sectors this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HR\">Healthcare</a>, which includes biotech, delivered the most deals: 155 traditional IPOs that were valued at nearly $29 billion.

The 1,006 IPOs surpassed the record set in 1996 when 848 companies went public during the beginning of the dot.com boom, collecting $78.6 billion.\nThis year’s IPOs are also more than double the number of companies that went public in 2020. Last year, 457 firms listed their shares, collecting $168.7 billion.\nMost, or 60%, of this year’s offerings were special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. This means that roughly 396 traditional IPOs raised $153.5 billion, making 2021 the most active year for new issues since 2000.\n“This is the busiest year this century for the U.S. IPO market,” said Jeff Thomas, a Nasdaq senior vice president and head of western U.S. listings & capital markets.\nMore companies are going public today than ever before, Thomas said. Low interest rates and government stimulus have helped valuations soar in the IPO market in 2021. Companies also have more options when they’re thinking about going public, Thomas said.\nCompanies don’t have to stick with just a traditional IPO but can also consider a direct listing or merging with a SPAC. “When companies have more choices, they’re more likely to pursue a public offering,” Thomas said.\nHealthcare and technology were the busiest sectors this year. Healthcare, which includes biotech, delivered the most deals: 155 traditional IPOs that were valued at nearly $29 billion. Technology produced 128 traditional offerings, valued at nearly $74 billion. Both sectors are expected to remain leaders in 2022.\nBigger doesn’t mean better. Twenty-eight companies in 2021 raised at least $1 billion in this year’s IPO market. Half, or 14 of them, are trading below their offer price.\nAffirm Holdings (ticker: AFRM), the payments company that raised $1.2 billion in January, has delivered the best aftermarket performance of this year’s large offerings. Affirm shares are up more than 100% from its $49 IPO price.\nThe worst performance comes from Oscar Health (OSCR), the insurtech that collected $1.4 billion in March. Oscar’s stock is down 79% from its $39 offer price.\nThis year’s IPO market will go down as one of the busiest and one of the worst performing. New issues, on average, rose by 31% this year during their first day of trading, Renaissance Capital said. But inflation fears and Omicron jitters caused most of that pop to fizzle in the fourth quarter, said Matt Kennedy, senior IPO strategist at Renaissance Capital.\nIPOs averaged a 10% decline in the aftermarket, the worst year in over a decade. (IPOs in 2020 produced an average aftermarket return of 76.3%, Kennedy said.) A little more than one-third, or 36%, of this year’s new listings are trading above their offer price as of Dec. 23, he said.

The 1,006 IPOs surpassed the record set in 1996 when 848 companies went public during the beginning of the dot.com boom, collecting $78.6 billion.\nThis year’s IPOs are also more than double the number of companies that went public in 2020. Last year, 457 firms listed their shares, collecting $168.7 billion.\nMost, or 60%, of this year’s offerings were special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. This means that roughly 396 traditional IPOs raised $153.5 billion, making 2021 the most active year for new issues since 2000.\n“This is the busiest year this century for the U.S. IPO market,” said Jeff Thomas, a Nasdaq senior vice president and head of western U.S. listings & capital markets.\nMore companies are going public today than ever before, Thomas said. Low interest rates and government stimulus have helped valuations soar in the IPO market in 2021. Companies also have more options when they’re thinking about going public, Thomas said.\nCompanies don’t have to stick with just a traditional IPO but can also consider a direct listing or merging with a SPAC. “When companies have more choices, they’re more likely to pursue a public offering,” Thomas said.\nHealthcare and technology were the busiest sectors this year. Healthcare, which includes biotech, delivered the most deals: 155 traditional IPOs that were valued at nearly $29 billion. Technology produced 128 traditional offerings, valued at nearly $74 billion. Both sectors are expected to remain leaders in 2022.\nBigger doesn’t mean better. Twenty-eight companies in 2021 raised at least $1 billion in this year’s IPO market. Half, or 14 of them, are trading below their offer price.\nAffirm Holdings (ticker: AFRM), the payments company that raised $1.2 billion in January, has delivered the best aftermarket performance of this year’s large offerings. Affirm shares are up more than 100% from its $49 IPO price.\nThe worst performance comes from Oscar Health (OSCR), the insurtech that collected $1.4 billion in March. Oscar’s stock is down 79% from its $39 offer price.\nThis year’s IPO market will go down as one of the busiest and one of the worst performing. New issues, on average, rose by 31% this year during their first day of trading, Renaissance Capital said. But inflation fears and Omicron jitters caused most of that pop to fizzle in the fourth quarter, said Matt Kennedy, senior IPO strategist at Renaissance Capital.\nIPOs averaged a 10% decline in the aftermarket, the worst year in over a decade. (IPOs in 2020 produced an average aftermarket return of 76.3%, Kennedy said.) A little more than one-third, or 36%, of this year’s new listings are trading above their offer price as of Dec. 23, he said. This means 64% are off their IPO price.\n“Being a part of history is little consolation when returns are poor…Investors this year were buying everything and now they’re paying the price for it,” Kennedy said.\nThe Renaissance IPO exchange-traded fund (IPO), which tracks companies for three years after going public, is down about 8.5% for the year, he said. That compares with the S&P 500, which is up 28% year to date. In 2020, the Renaissance IPO ETF outperformed the S&P 500, Kennedy said.\nThe IPO market typically shuts down in late December because of the holidays and reopens in mid-January. Kennedy expects a slow start to new issues next year as investors have turned more cautious.\nRoughly 400 companies have filed paperwork to go public, representing $72.3 billion in proceeds, Dealogic said. Several big names are part of this group and could list in 2022. This includes yogurt maker Chobani,, social media platform Reddit, Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão, and private equity firm TPG.\nCompanies that are expected to seek an IPO, but have yet to file for an offering, include Chime, a digital bank; Instacart, the grocery-delivery upstart; Houzz, a home-remodeling platform; Databricks, an AI software start-up; Discord; a chat service, and Panera Brands, the restaurant group backed by European investment firm JAB Holding.\nStripe, the payments processor, is a perennial favorite to go public. Valued at $95 billion in its last fund-raising round, Stripe would be the biggest U.S. company to list since Facebook in 2012\nOne of the biggest trends of 2021 was the strength of consumer IPOs. Several deals posted strong debuts including donut maker Krispy Kreme (DNUT); Roger Federer’s sneaker company On Holding (ONON); and coffee chain Dutch Bros Inc. (BROS).\nGreg Martin, a managing director at Rainmaker Securities, which represents buyers and sellers of stocks of soon-to-be public companies, said some consumer companies that went public emphasized their use of technology and littered their regulatory filings with buzzy phrases such as “technology-enabled,” “digitally native” or “direct-to-consumer.”\nEyeglass-seller Warby Parker (WRBY) used the strategy, as did salad chain Sweetgreen (SG) and sustainable shoe maker Allbirds (BIRD). Sweetgreen is “a purveyor of salads. They’re not selling software. But if you read the S-1, you would think they were a tech company,” Martin said.\nThe strategy seems to have worked. Allbirds soared nearly 93% in its first day of trading in November, while Sweetgreen rose 76% during its debut last month. Warby Parker, which used a direct listing to go public, gained nearly 10% from its opening price in September. (DLs typically don’t see big pops during their debuts.) Such successes means consumer IPOs are expected to return next year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":733,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":698933475,"gmtCreate":1640272868000,"gmtModify":1640273074137,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Goof&nbsp;","listText":"Goof&nbsp;","text":"Goof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/698933475","repostId":"1192623075","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192623075","pubTimestamp":1640269891,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192623075?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-23 22:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. adds Merck pill as 2nd easy-to-use drug against COVID-19","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192623075","media":"SeattleTimes","summary":"U.S. health regulators on Thursday authorized the second pill against COVID-19, providing another ea","content":"<p>U.S. health regulators on Thursday authorized the second pill against COVID-19, providing another easy-to-use medication to battle the rising tide of omicron infections.</p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration authorization of Merck’s molnupiravir comes one day after the agency cleared a competing drug from Pfizer.

The stock, which last peaked at $182.13 not too long ago, is currently less than 7% from being the first U.S. publicly listed company to reach a $3 trillion market value and single-handedly accounts for about 15% of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100’s performance. Apple’s market value has grown by&nbsp;more than 220x&nbsp;since the late 1990s, buoyed by the company’s continuous ability to capture robust demand for its innovative portfolio of products and services.</p>\n<p>And Apple’s strong fundamentals are expected to help the stock defy adverse impacts from the imminent rate hikes beginning next year. With inflation running at its hottest in almost four decades, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday that it will increase the pace at which it is dialing back on the $120 billion monthly bond repurchasing program from $15 billion per month, which began in November, to&nbsp;$30 billion per month. This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in&nbsp;July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024. If materialized, the process would up the funds rate to 2.1% by 2024.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef3ca2d04c1b55a465e12bfae79890e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Bloomberg</span></p>\n<p>While rate hikes typically cause investors to turn risk averse due to concerns over&nbsp;faster erosion of value on future gains&nbsp;and stalled business growth due to rising costs of capital, especially for high-growth stocks, Apple gained close to 3% upon release of the Fed’s update on policy tightening. The stock closed at $179.30 on December 15th, nearing its peak of $182 on Monday. Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.</p>\n<p>With the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.</p>\n<p><b>FY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects</b></p>\n<p>Fiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.</p>\n<p><b>Key Developments in Products</b></p>\n<p>iPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by&nbsp;attracting switchers&nbsp;from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by&nbsp;strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like&nbsp;Verizon&nbsp;and&nbsp;AT&amp;T&nbsp;have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend&nbsp;more than $700 billion&nbsp;over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.</p>\n<p>Mac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the&nbsp;all-new M1-powered iMac&nbsp;earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the&nbsp;reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro&nbsp;in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped&nbsp;over 3.2 million units&nbsp;of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a&nbsp;$224.3 billion&nbsp;and$600 billion&nbsp;market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.</p>\n<p>Recent speculations on Apple’s intentions to&nbsp;strengthen its in-house chip development capacity&nbsp;will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.</p>\n<p><b>Key Developments in Services</b></p>\n<p>On the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include&nbsp;Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the&nbsp;Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a&nbsp;projected value of $61 billion&nbsp;over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the&nbsp;Apple One bundle&nbsp;is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.</p>\n<p>Continued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of&nbsp;more than $400 billion&nbsp;over the next five years. With AAPL hosting&nbsp;one of the largest and most used app stores&nbsp;in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite&nbsp;mounting global regulatory scrutiny&nbsp;over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing&nbsp;legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in&nbsp;delaying App Store changes&nbsp;ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in&nbsp;September&nbsp;as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.</p>\n<p>Currently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by&nbsp;at most $4 billion per year&nbsp;which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.</p>\n<p><b>Key Catalysts Ahead</b></p>\n<p>Apple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a&nbsp;VR headset and AR glasses&nbsp;by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.</p>\n<p>Over the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an&nbsp;$800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.</p>\n<p>Speculations on Apple’s ongoing development of&nbsp;a self-driving electric car&nbsp;is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of&nbsp;more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.</p>\n<p>While Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by&nbsp;at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases</b></p>\n<p>Adjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our&nbsp;most recent analysis&nbsp;on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b5aa95136cfca6f95b962ea36eadab74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>i.

Please refer here for further detail on material growth assumptions applied.</span></p>\n<p>Drawing on the above considerations, our 12-month price target for the Apple stock has been revised to $209.43. This represents upside potential of more than 22% based on the last traded price of $171.14 on December 17th.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e88e904b5b900fbcdf4541d856570e2d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"230\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.</span></p>\n<p>The revised price target is derived using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis over a ten-year discrete period in conjunction with the financial projections updated for Apple’s recent developments as analyzed in earlier sections. Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet.

The stock, which last peaked at $182.13 not too long ago, is currently less than 7% from being the first U.S. publicly listed company to reach a $3 trillion market value and single-handedly accounts for about 15% of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100’s performance. Apple’s market value has grown by more than 220x since the late 1990s, buoyed by the company’s continuous ability to capture robust demand for its innovative portfolio of products and services.\nAnd Apple’s strong fundamentals are expected to help the stock defy adverse impacts from the imminent rate hikes beginning next year. With inflation running at its hottest in almost four decades, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday that it will increase the pace at which it is dialing back on the $120 billion monthly bond repurchasing program from $15 billion per month, which began in November, to $30 billion per month. This would effectively conclude the stimulus program, put in place at the onset of the pandemic, coming March, rather than in July as initially planned. Rate hikes are expected to begin soon after to counter rising price pressures, with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell affirming that the process will only begin after tapering ends and at a gradual pace. The latest dot plot indicates potential for the Federal Fund Rate to lift-off from near-zero beginning early 2022 with three quarter-point increases, plus another three in 2023 and two more in 2024. If materialized, the process would up the funds rate to 2.1% by 2024.\nSource: Bloomberg\nWhile rate hikes typically cause investors to turn risk averse due to concerns over faster erosion of value on future gains and stalled business growth due to rising costs of capital, especially for high-growth stocks, Apple gained close to 3% upon release of the Fed’s update on policy tightening. The stock closed at $179.30 on December 15th, nearing its peak of $182 on Monday. Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.\nWith the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.\nFY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects\nFiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.\nKey Developments in Products\niPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.\nMac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.\nRecent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.\nKey Developments in Services\nOn the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the Apple One bundle is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.\nContinued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.\nCurrently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.\nKey Catalysts Ahead\nApple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.\nOver the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.\nSpeculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.\nWhile Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.\nValuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases\nAdjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.\n\ni. Base Case Financial Projections:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf). Please refer here for further detail on material growth assumptions applied.\nDrawing on the above considerations, our 12-month price target for the Apple stock has been revised to $209.43. This represents upside potential of more than 22% based on the last traded price of $171.14 on December 17th.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nThe revised price target is derived using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis over a ten-year discrete period in conjunction with the financial projections updated for Apple’s recent developments as analyzed in earlier sections. Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.\nThe valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.\ni. Base Case Valuation Analysis:\n\nii. Sensitivity Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConclusion\nBased on the foregoing analysis, the anticipated addition of 175 to 200 basis points to the current near-zero Federal Fund Rate over the next two years is not expected to cause material adverse impacts to Apple’s performance from both a fundamental and valuation perspective. Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":810,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":699452604,"gmtCreate":1639881252850,"gmtModify":1639881253023,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/699452604","repostId":"2192903795","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2192903795","pubTimestamp":1639880431,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2192903795?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-19 10:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Growth Stocks to Buy Now for 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2192903795","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Can these five stock picks boost your 2022 gains?","content":"<p>Today, I provide five growth stocks that I think will perform well in 2022 and beyond. These stock picks cover enormous secular growth trends that should flourish over the long term.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\"><b>Nvidia</b> </a> is the first stock on the list. It's easy to see why some investors would shy away from Nvidia at these levels. The stock price has delivered over 67,000% returns since going public in 1999. A $10,000 investment would be worth approximately $6.7 million today. But the company is firing on all cylinders, and when you look under the hood, you will find that its future looks very bright, which can arguably justify the premium share price. Nvidia has its hands in nearly every secular tailwind imaginable:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Data centers</li>\n <li>Cloud computing</li>\n <li>Cybersecurity&nbsp;</li>\n <li>Space exploration</li>\n <li>Video gaming</li>\n <li>Online gambling</li>\n <li>Augmented reality (AR)</li>\n <li>Virtual reality (VR)</li>\n <li>Mixed reality (MR)</li>\n <li>Autonomous driving</li>\n <li>Electric vehicles</li>\n <li>Genomics</li>\n <li>Esports</li>\n <li>5G</li>\n <li>E-commerce</li>\n <li>Cryptocurrency</li>\n <li>Artificial intelligence (AI)</li>\n <li>Metaverse</li>\n <li>Big data</li>\n</ul>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\"><b>Tesla</b> </a> has made a historic run over the past couple of years, but with Elon Musk at the helm, the future still looks very bright. The company continues to grow rapidly while improving net profit margins and cash flows. The EV super cycle is just getting started, and Tesla is poised to be top dog. Not only is Tesla a top autonomous and electric vehicle manufacturer, it is, in my opinion, also the best artificial intelligence company in the world.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></b> offers what it calls a \"data warehouse-as-a-service\" (DaaS), a cloud-based data storage and analytics solution. Think \"big data.\" Interestingly, Snowflake is not a SaaS company since its revenue is over 90% consumption based. Snowflake reduces cost and improves agility. Its data platform is unique in that it is not built on an existing big data platform. In addition to big data and analytics, I believe Snowflake is positioned well to create a unique digital advertising moat, which I discuss in detail here.&nbsp;I have been a fan of this stock since pre-IPO, and I have high conviction long term.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U\"><b>Unity Software</b>&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;is best known for gaming. It provides tools and software to assist developers in game creation and marketing. In 2019, over 50% of the top 1,000 mobile games were created using Unity. Unity has players in 195 countries, so it's literally a global company. Unity powers billon-dollar mobile games like <i>Pokémon Go</i> and <i>Angry Birds</i>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are why I personally own the stock. Think metaverse! However, Unity is actually quite diverse in terms of its offerings and industry segments. Here are some other areas Unity works in outside of gaming:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Automotive, transportation, and manufacturing</li>\n <li>Film, animation, and cinematics</li>\n <li>Architecture, engineering, and construction</li>\n <li>Government and aerospace</li>\n <li>Gambling</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b> (NYSE:PATH) is a global software company focused on robotic process automation, also called RPA.

These stock picks cover enormous secular growth trends that should flourish over the long term.\nNvidia  is the first stock on the list. It's easy to see why some investors would shy away from Nvidia at these levels. The stock price has delivered over 67,000% returns since going public in 1999. A $10,000 investment would be worth approximately $6.7 million today. But the company is firing on all cylinders, and when you look under the hood, you will find that its future looks very bright, which can arguably justify the premium share price. Nvidia has its hands in nearly every secular tailwind imaginable:\n\nData centers\nCloud computing\nCybersecurity \nSpace exploration\nVideo gaming\nOnline gambling\nAugmented reality (AR)\nVirtual reality (VR)\nMixed reality (MR)\nAutonomous driving\nElectric vehicles\nGenomics\nEsports\n5G\nE-commerce\nCryptocurrency\nArtificial intelligence (AI)\nMetaverse\nBig data\n\nTesla  has made a historic run over the past couple of years, but with Elon Musk at the helm, the future still looks very bright. The company continues to grow rapidly while improving net profit margins and cash flows. The EV super cycle is just getting started, and Tesla is poised to be top dog. Not only is Tesla a top autonomous and electric vehicle manufacturer, it is, in my opinion, also the best artificial intelligence company in the world. \nSnowflake offers what it calls a \"data warehouse-as-a-service\" (DaaS), a cloud-based data storage and analytics solution. Think \"big data.\" Interestingly, Snowflake is not a SaaS company since its revenue is over 90% consumption based. Snowflake reduces cost and improves agility. Its data platform is unique in that it is not built on an existing big data platform. In addition to big data and analytics, I believe Snowflake is positioned well to create a unique digital advertising moat, which I discuss in detail here. I have been a fan of this stock since pre-IPO, and I have high conviction long term.\nUnity Software  is best known for gaming. It provides tools and software to assist developers in game creation and marketing. In 2019, over 50% of the top 1,000 mobile games were created using Unity. Unity has players in 195 countries, so it's literally a global company. Unity powers billon-dollar mobile games like Pokémon Go and Angry Birds. \nBut augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are why I personally own the stock. Think metaverse! However, Unity is actually quite diverse in terms of its offerings and industry segments. Here are some other areas Unity works in outside of gaming:\n\nAutomotive, transportation, and manufacturing\nFilm, animation, and cinematics\nArchitecture, engineering, and construction\nGovernment and aerospace\nGambling\n\nUiPath (NYSE:PATH) is a global software company focused on robotic process automation, also called RPA. The company's software enables organizations to automate data entry and repetitive tasks. RPA technology makes it simple for businesses to build, deploy, and manage bots. These software robots emulate human actions and provide many benefits. Examples include:\n\nIncreased production times\nReduction of costs\nIncreased employee creativity and innovation\nImproved efficiency\nIncreased employee happiness and retention\nImproved process quality\nHigher employee productivity\nImproved customer service","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":784,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":699146721,"gmtCreate":1639759412724,"gmtModify":1639759412870,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"$$$","listText":"$$$","text":"$$$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/699146721","repostId":"2192597562","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2192597562","pubTimestamp":1639752981,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2192597562?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-17 22:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Top 10 Metaverse Stocks in META, the World's First Metaverse ETF","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2192597562","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF's five largest holdings are Nvidia, Roblox, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Unity Software.","content":"<p>Investors are abuzz about the metaverse. This term catapulted into the mainstream in late October when the social media giant formerly known as Facebook announced it was changing its corporate name to <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b> (NASDAQ:FB) to reflect its focus on the metaverse.</p>\n<p>The metaverse, which is essentially a melding of the physical and virtual worlds, is widely viewed as the next evolution of the internet. Market size projections for the metaverse vary widely, so suffice it to say this space is poised to be massive.</p>\n<p>Let's take a look at the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF</a> </b>(NYSEMKT:META), the world's first metaverse exchange-traded fund (ETF).

That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> has gained 4.7% over this period.</p>\n<p>The Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.</p>\n<p>This ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.</p>\n<h2>Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings</h2>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p><b>Holding No.&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>&nbsp;Company</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Market Cap&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n   <th><p>Wall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years</p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Weight (% of Portfolio)</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>YTD 2021 Return&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <thead></thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>1</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Nvidia </b>(NASDAQ:NVDA)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$710 billion</p></td>\n   <td>39.4%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>10.6%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>118%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>2</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Roblox </b>(NYSE:RBLX)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$55 billion</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>8.6%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A*</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>3</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Microsoft </b>(NASDAQ:MSFT)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$2.4 trillion</p></td>\n   <td>16.5%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">7.7%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">47.3%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>4</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Meta Platforms</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$932 billion</p></td>\n   <td>21.4%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">6.6%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">22.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>5</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Unity Software </b>(NYSE:U)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$38 billion</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.9%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(13%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>6</p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Apple</b></p></td>\n   <td>$2.8 trillion</td>\n   <td>15.7%</td>\n   <td>4.2%</td>\n   <td>30.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>7</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Amazon.com</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$1.7 trillion</p></td>\n   <td>36%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.2%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">3.7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>8</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Autodesk</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$59 billion</p></td>\n   <td>28.8%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.1%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(11.7%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>9</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Qualcomm</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$200 billion</p></td>\n   <td>25.6%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">3.9%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">19.1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>10</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Tencent Holdings</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$545 billion</p></td>\n   <td>3.7%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>3.9%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(20.8%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>Total Top 10</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>58.7%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>S&amp;P 500</b> / <b>Nasdaq Composite Indexes</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\">26% / 17.8%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo!

Data to Dec. 16, 2021.</p>\n<p>Below is a brief look at how the top five companies in this ETF are involved in the metaverse.</p>\n<p>Nvidia is a \"pick-and-shovel\" play on the metaverse. That is, the computer gaming and tech giant provides the tools other companies need to create their own metaverses. Most notable among these tools is its recently launched Omniverse platform. The \"Omniverse brings together Nvidia's expertise in AI [artificial intelligence], simulation, graphics, and computing infrastructure,\" CEO Jensen Huang said last month in the company's release of its stellar fiscal third-quarter results.</p>\n<p>Roblox (No. 2) and Unity Software (No. 5) are gaming engines that can be used to create virtual worlds. They're both relatively new to the public markets: Roblox went public in March 2021 via a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Unity held its initial public offering (IPO) in September 2020. Both companies are rapidly growing revenue, but neither is profitable from an accounting standpoint.</p>\n<p>Microsoft has been building Mesh, its mixed-reality platform that will power Microsoft Teams and other applications. Users will be able to access Mesh on the company's enterprise-focused augmented-reality headset HoloLens 2, as well as virtual reality (VR) headsets, mobile phones, tablets, or PCs using any Mesh-enabled app.</p>\n<p>Last week, Meta Platforms took its first leap into the metaverse via its public launch of Horizon Worlds to adults in the U.S. and Canada. Horizon Worlds is a free social VR platform in which users equipped with the company's Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets can interact.</p>\n<h2>A solid way to invest in the metaverse</h2>\n<p>The Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF looks like a solid way for investors to get exposure to the metaverse. The drawback of ETFs is the same as their advantage: diversification. Indeed, investors willing to do some work and select individual stocks should have a decent shot at outperforming this fund.</p>\n<p>If you're looking for a larger company that's profitable, it's probably hard to go wrong with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. Meta Platforms (the former Facebook) isn't as good a bet. It has higher regulatory risk than the other big U.S.-based tech companies, in my view.

This term catapulted into the mainstream in late October when the social media giant formerly known as Facebook announced it was changing its corporate name to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) to reflect its focus on the metaverse.\nThe metaverse, which is essentially a melding of the physical and virtual worlds, is widely viewed as the next evolution of the internet. Market size projections for the metaverse vary widely, so suffice it to say this space is poised to be massive.\nLet's take a look at the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (NYSEMKT:META), the world's first metaverse exchange-traded fund (ETF). You might decide that one or more of this ETF's holdings are worth further exploration or that you want to buy the ETF itself.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Performance and the basics\nThis ETF only began trading on June 30, 2021, so it's too soon to make any judgments about its performance. That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the S&P 500 index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has gained 4.7% over this period.\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.\nThis ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings\n\n\n\nHolding No. \n Company\nMarket Cap \nWall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years\nWeight (% of Portfolio)\nYTD 2021 Return \n\n\n\n\n\n1\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n$710 billion\n39.4%\n10.6%\n118%\n\n\n2\nRoblox (NYSE:RBLX)\n$55 billion\nN/A\n8.6%\nN/A*\n\n\n3\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n$2.4 trillion\n16.5%\n7.7%\n47.3%\n\n\n4\nMeta Platforms\n$932 billion\n21.4%\n6.6%\n22.6%\n\n\n5\nUnity Software (NYSE:U)\n$38 billion\nN/A\n4.9%\n(13%)\n\n\n6\nApple\n$2.8 trillion\n15.7%\n4.2%\n30.6%\n\n\n7\nAmazon.com\n$1.7 trillion\n36%\n4.2%\n3.7%\n\n\n8\nAutodesk\n$59 billion\n28.8%\n4.1%\n(11.7%)\n\n\n9\nQualcomm\n$200 billion\n25.6%\n3.9%\n19.1%\n\n\n10\nTencent Holdings\n$545 billion\n3.7%\n3.9%\n(20.8%)\n\n\nTotal Top 10\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n58.7%\nN/A\n\n\nN/A\nS&P 500 / Nasdaq Composite Indexes\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n26% / 17.8%\n\n\n\nData sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo! Finance, and YCharts. EPS = earnings per share. YTD = year to date. *Roblox went public via a direct listing on March 10, 2021; its stock is up 47.6% from the opening price on the first trading day. Data to Dec. 16, 2021.\nBelow is a brief look at how the top five companies in this ETF are involved in the metaverse.\nNvidia is a \"pick-and-shovel\" play on the metaverse. That is, the computer gaming and tech giant provides the tools other companies need to create their own metaverses. Most notable among these tools is its recently launched Omniverse platform. The \"Omniverse brings together Nvidia's expertise in AI [artificial intelligence], simulation, graphics, and computing infrastructure,\" CEO Jensen Huang said last month in the company's release of its stellar fiscal third-quarter results.\nRoblox (No. 2) and Unity Software (No. 5) are gaming engines that can be used to create virtual worlds. They're both relatively new to the public markets: Roblox went public in March 2021 via a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Unity held its initial public offering (IPO) in September 2020. Both companies are rapidly growing revenue, but neither is profitable from an accounting standpoint.\nMicrosoft has been building Mesh, its mixed-reality platform that will power Microsoft Teams and other applications. Users will be able to access Mesh on the company's enterprise-focused augmented-reality headset HoloLens 2, as well as virtual reality (VR) headsets, mobile phones, tablets, or PCs using any Mesh-enabled app.\nLast week, Meta Platforms took its first leap into the metaverse via its public launch of Horizon Worlds to adults in the U.S. and Canada. Horizon Worlds is a free social VR platform in which users equipped with the company's Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets can interact.\nA solid way to invest in the metaverse\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF looks like a solid way for investors to get exposure to the metaverse. The drawback of ETFs is the same as their advantage: diversification. Indeed, investors willing to do some work and select individual stocks should have a decent shot at outperforming this fund.\nIf you're looking for a larger company that's profitable, it's probably hard to go wrong with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. Meta Platforms (the former Facebook) isn't as good a bet. It has higher regulatory risk than the other big U.S.-based tech companies, in my view. Moreover, it has nearly all its (revenue) eggs in one basket because it generates almost all of its revenue from digital advertising.\nRisk-averse investors should steer clear of Tencent Holdings because it's headquartered in China. The Chinese government has been cracking down on tech companies, making their regulatory risk high.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690662539,"gmtCreate":1639664886612,"gmtModify":1639664886760,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Miser]&nbsp;","listText":"[Miser]&nbsp;","text":"[Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690662539","repostId":"2191437029","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2191437029","pubTimestamp":1639664628,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2191437029?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-16 22:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Wait for a Market Crash: These 2 Top Stocks Are on Sale","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2191437029","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"With the markets in a volatile mood, it's time to look at some stocks worth picking up.","content":"<p>It's been a difficult six months for <b>General Electric</b> (NYSE:GE) and <b>Stanley Black &amp; Decker</b> (NYSE:SWK).

The first is the negative impact on air travel from the resurgence of COVID-19 cases and the emergence of new variants. This hurts GE because GE Aviation is the company's most significant earnings and cash flow generator. Two-thirds of commercial airplane flights are on GE or GE joint venture engines, and the revenue from servicing engines in use is the key to the segment's profitability.

That makes the stock look like a good value in itself, and with the breakup offering upside potential, GE seems a good buy right now.</p>\n<h2>Stanley Black &amp; Decker</h2>\n<p>The tools and hardware stock started the year with expected inflation and cost headwinds of $75 million in 2021, but that estimate is now $690 million as of its third-quarter earnings. As a result, it's created significant margin pressure for the company. That's a big part of the reason why the stock has underperformed in the last six months.</p>\n<p>But here's the thing, or rather a few things. First, management is taking pricing action and sees improving margins through 2022 as cost pressures subside and pricing kicks in.</p>\n<p>Second, the company's revenue is set to jump from $17.2 billion in 2021 to $20.2 billion in 2022 as its MTD and Excel (lawn and garden equipment) acquisitions are incorporated into its financial results. Management sees a significant margin expansion opportunity in these businesses as they integrate into Stanley's complementary businesses. Third, the company has invested heavily in new products, which should boost growth in 2022 and beyond.</p>\n<p>Finally, the company recently agreed to sell most of its security assets to <b>Securitas AB</b> for $3.2 billion in cash. The proceeds will go toward a planned $4 billion share repurchase program in 2022. Moreover, selling the security business will allow management to focus on its core tools and storage business.</p>\n<p>Putting it all together, it's not hard to see that the narrative around the stock is likely to change through 2022. Hopefully, at the end of next year, investors will be looking at a stock with a rising margin trend. In addition, the share repurchases will support the stock price and boost shareholder value. Meanwhile, the market should be focusing on the medium-term margin expansion opportunity at MTD as Stanley expands in the lawn and garden equipment category.</p>\n<p>If the company hits Wall Street analyst estimates for nearly $2 billion in FCF in 2022, the stock will trade at just 16 times its 2022 FCF. That's far too cheap for a stock that should end 2022 firing on all cylinders with mid-single-digit revenue growth and margin expansion ahead of it.</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>Don't Wait for a Market Crash: These 2 Top Stocks Are on Sale</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\">\nDon't Wait for a Market Crash: These 2 Top Stocks Are on Sale\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-16 22:23 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/16/dont-wait-for-a-market-crash-these-2-top-stocks-ar/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It's been a difficult six months for General Electric (NYSE:GE) and Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE:SWK).

After factoring in reinvested dividends, the tech giant generated a total return of nearly 500% -- compared with the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s total return of about 130%. That massive rally boosted Microsoft's market cap to nearly $2.6 trillion and made it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the world's most valuable companies.</p>\n<p>So how did Microsoft, which was considered a mature tech stock a decade ago, become a growth stock again? These five charts tell the tale.</p>\n<h2>1. A new era of revenue growth</h2>\n<p>Between fiscal 2011 and 2016, Microsoft's annual revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of just 4.1%. But between fiscal 2016 and 2021, its revenue rose at a CAGR of 14.5%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0467b5b9eb05e9159ccb8684250c176c\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source: YCharts</p>\n<p>The architect of that growth spurt was Satya Nadella, who succeeded Steve Ballmer as Microsoft's third CEO in 2014. Instead of focusing on desktop-based software, Nadella adopted a \"mobile first, cloud first\" strategy to launch more mobile apps while expanding Office 365, Dynamics, and Azure as the core growth engines of its cloud-based ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Under Nadella, Microsoft's annualized commercial cloud revenue rose from $12.1 billion (14% of its revenue) in fiscal 2016 to $69 billion (41% of revenue) in fiscal 2021. That expansion also turned Azure into the world's second-largest cloud infrastructure platform after <b>Amazon</b> Web Services (AWS).</p>\n<h2>2. A long-term expansion of its operating margins</h2>\n<p>Shortly after Nadella took over, Microsoft closed its $7.2 billion purchase of <b>Nokia</b>'s handset unit, which Ballmer had orchestrated in a desperate 11th-hour attempt to save the Windows Phone platform.</p>\n<p>A year later, Nadella shut down most of that business, took a $7.6 billion writedown on the deal, and focused on launching more mobile apps for iOS and Android instead. That same year, Microsoft launched Windows 10 as a free upgrade for most of its Windows users and continued to invest heavily in the expansion of Azure and its other cloud services.</p>\n<p>All those decisions squeezed Microsoft's operating margins throughout Nadella's first two years at the helm. But after weathering those initial expenses, Microsoft's operating margins improved significantly as its cloud revenue soared and economies of scale kicked in:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a889c94085919a518dcb2f47d93982f5\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source: YCharts</p>\n<h2>3. Explosive earnings growth</h2>\n<p>Microsoft's rising revenue and expanding margins naturally boosted its profits.

After factoring in reinvested dividends, the tech giant generated a total return of nearly 500% -- compared with the S&P 500's total return of about 130%. That massive rally boosted Microsoft's market cap to nearly $2.6 trillion and made it one of the world's most valuable companies.\nSo how did Microsoft, which was considered a mature tech stock a decade ago, become a growth stock again? These five charts tell the tale.\n1. A new era of revenue growth\nBetween fiscal 2011 and 2016, Microsoft's annual revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of just 4.1%. But between fiscal 2016 and 2021, its revenue rose at a CAGR of 14.5%.\n\nSource: YCharts\nThe architect of that growth spurt was Satya Nadella, who succeeded Steve Ballmer as Microsoft's third CEO in 2014. Instead of focusing on desktop-based software, Nadella adopted a \"mobile first, cloud first\" strategy to launch more mobile apps while expanding Office 365, Dynamics, and Azure as the core growth engines of its cloud-based ecosystem.\nUnder Nadella, Microsoft's annualized commercial cloud revenue rose from $12.1 billion (14% of its revenue) in fiscal 2016 to $69 billion (41% of revenue) in fiscal 2021. That expansion also turned Azure into the world's second-largest cloud infrastructure platform after Amazon Web Services (AWS).\n2. A long-term expansion of its operating margins\nShortly after Nadella took over, Microsoft closed its $7.2 billion purchase of Nokia's handset unit, which Ballmer had orchestrated in a desperate 11th-hour attempt to save the Windows Phone platform.\nA year later, Nadella shut down most of that business, took a $7.6 billion writedown on the deal, and focused on launching more mobile apps for iOS and Android instead. That same year, Microsoft launched Windows 10 as a free upgrade for most of its Windows users and continued to invest heavily in the expansion of Azure and its other cloud services.\nAll those decisions squeezed Microsoft's operating margins throughout Nadella's first two years at the helm. But after weathering those initial expenses, Microsoft's operating margins improved significantly as its cloud revenue soared and economies of scale kicked in:\n\nSource: YCharts\n3. Explosive earnings growth\nMicrosoft's rising revenue and expanding margins naturally boosted its profits. Between fiscal 2011 and 2016, Microsoft's annual net income declined at a negative CAGR of 6.2%. But between fiscal 2016 and 2021, its annual net income increased at a CAGR of 29.5%:\n\nSource: YCharts\nMicrosoft's diluted earnings per share (EPS), which were slightly boosted by buybacks, also rose at a CAGR of 30.8% between fiscal 2016 and 2021.\n4. Rising dividends\nMicrosoft's stable earnings growth has enabled it to raise its dividend every year for more than a decade:\n\nData source: YCharts\nIt currently pays a forward dividend yield of 0.7%, and it spent just 28% of its free cash flow (FCF) on that payout over the past 12 months. That low cash dividend payout ratio gives it plenty of room for future dividend increases.\n5. But its valuation is also rising\nAnalysts expect Microsoft's revenue and earnings to grow another 17% and 14%, respectively, this year. Those are impressive growth rates for a 46-year-old company, but the stock is also getting a bit pricey at 37 times forward earnings.\nIf we look at Microsoft's trailing price-to-earnings ratio -- and then exclude its temporary earnings declines in fiscal 2015, 2016, and 2018, all caused by higher investments and restructuring expenses -- we'll notice its valuation has been steadily rising over the past decade.\n\nSource: YCharts\nThe bulls will argue that Microsoft's robust growth justifies that premium valuation. However, the bears will argue that Microsoft's high P/E ratio could limit its upside potential -- especially as inflationary headwinds reduce the market's appetite for higher-growth tech stocks.\nIs Microsoft's stock still worth buying?\nMicrosoft's stock isn't cheap, but I believe it's still worth buying as long as Nadella remains in charge. Nadella's vision for a \"mobile first, cloud first\" future is paying off, and it's setting up the foundations for Microsoft's future growth in next-gen markets such as augmented reality and cloud gaming. Those long-term strengths, along with its resilience during past economic downturns, could easily support its higher multiple for the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":604509349,"gmtCreate":1639407930005,"gmtModify":1639408055418,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Will up!?&nbsp;","listText":"Will up!?&nbsp;","text":"Will up!?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/604509349","repostId":"1171271872","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1171271872","pubTimestamp":1639348466,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1171271872?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-13 06:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Rivian,Adobe,FedEx,Lennar,Campbell Soup,and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171271872","media":"Barrons","summary":"The main event for investors this week will be the Federal Reserve’s rate-setting committee’s last meeting of 2021.

The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> (NYSEMKT:ARKK) is down 38% off its all-time high and down 22% year to date.</p>\n<p>ARK and Wood invest in lots of high-growth tech stocks that have been battered this year, which is what's causing the fund's poor performance. <b>Coinbase Global</b> (NASDAQ:COIN), <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b> (NYSE:PATH) are some of Cathie Wood's favorites, and all are between 20% and 50% off their all-time highs. However, the fact that millions of dollars of their stock are sitting in Wood's ETFs should be indicative of their long-term potential. These companies are trading at bargain prices today, so you might want to consider putting them on your watchlist.</p>\n<h2>Coinbase: A way to invest in crypto</h2>\n<p>Coinbase is ARK Invest's third-largest holding, clocking in at a market value of $1.25 billion. Shares of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange have sunk like a stone recently, falling 32% off its all-time highs. However, this isn't fully indicative of business performance.</p>\n<p>With over $255 billion in assets across 100 different countries and 72 million users, Coinbase has become a cornerstone of the crypto economy as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the leading, most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges. The company takes a cut of every purchase of crypto on the platform, so the rise in popularity of cryptocurrency has resulted in impressive revenue success. The company's revenue increased by over 330% year over year in Q3.

Whether this is justified or not, Coinbase will likely mimic the crypto market, and its success largely depends on the widespread adoption of crypto. Therefore, if you think that cryptocurrencies will skyrocket over the next decade, Coinbase could be a smart investment.</p>\n<h2>UiPath: An AI pureplay</h2>\n<p>While not as large as Coinbase, ARK ETFs hold over $1 billion of UiPath stock -- making it the sixth-largest holding across all of Wood's funds. UiPath is disrupting the way companies operate and handle tedious, repetitive tasks by normalizing the use of artificial intelligence and bots. The company has the vision to deliver a fully automated enterprise so that workers can optimize their efficiency, and the way the company is doing this has attracted companies like <b>AutoDesk</b> (NASDAQ:ADSK)&nbsp;and NASA.</p>\n<p>While UiPath's product sounds like a pie-in-the-sky dream, the company is more than real. It has over 9,600 customers and $818 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). With such dominance, UiPath has been named a market leader in the robotic process automation (RPA) market in <b>Gartner</b>'s Magic Quadrant. As the leader, it has gained the trust and confidence of companies that might be wary of bringing automation and robots into the workplace.</p>\n<p>UiPath has lots of potential to grow. The company sees a $30 billion addressable opportunity by 2024, which would be immense growth from its current $818 million in ARR. UiPath might get some pushback along the way from those wary of integrating robots into the workplace, but its robots can provide efficiency improvements. The company has saved its customers millions of hours and dollars without putting workers' jobs on the line. UiPath is meant to work alongside human employees, and it has been successful in doing so.</p>\n<p>Shares have fallen drastically since it came public earlier this year, and that has provided a valuation that an appealing valuation public at 60 times sales, but it now trades at 22 times sales. Cathie Wood has taken the opportunity to buy more shares this December, and you might want to consider doing the same.</p>\n<h2>Shopify: The rising e-commerce pick</h2>\n<p>Shopify is farther down at the 11th-largest ARK position, but still represents $950 million worth of shares -- and for good reason. The company has doubled its gross merchandise volume (GMV) over the past 16 months, reaching $400 billion in cumulative GMV on its merchants' platforms in Q3. This has been because of the company's relentless focus on its customers' growth and success. This is unrivaled by competitors like <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), which have often stifled SMBs by noticing their success and then offering and promoting a self-developed product that competes with them directly.</p>\n<p>The company recently announced a new feature that would make international sales easier for merchants. Shopify Markets would allow companies to streamline global expansion -- something many Shopify users might never have thought possible. The company also has plans to roll out additional features over the next few years, with one of my personal favorites being Shopify Fulfillment. With this, users could access the fulfillment network that Shopify is building out and let the company pack and ship orders for them.</p>\n<p>This focus on customer success is truly unique, which is why the company demands a very high premium. The company trades at roughly 40 times sales, which is the highest valuation out of these three stocks. However, I also believe that Shopify is the highest-quality stock on this list. While all three of these stocks are appealing, Shopify has proven itself the most, and the company's expansion efforts beyond SMB look very promising. While there is more risk that share prices could continue dropping, I think it is worth paying up for high-quality companies, and Shopify fits that bill. Given the number of shares that Cathie Wood owns, I think she is in agreement.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-26 10:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/3-bargain-stocks-that-cathie-wood-loves/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>After an astounding 2020, the chief investment officer of ARK Invest and stock picker extraordinaire Cathie Wood has had a rough 2021.

This is unrivaled by competitors like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which have often stifled SMBs by noticing their success and then offering and promoting a self-developed product that competes with them directly.\nThe company recently announced a new feature that would make international sales easier for merchants. Shopify Markets would allow companies to streamline global expansion -- something many Shopify users might never have thought possible. The company also has plans to roll out additional features over the next few years, with one of my personal favorites being Shopify Fulfillment. With this, users could access the fulfillment network that Shopify is building out and let the company pack and ship orders for them.\nThis focus on customer success is truly unique, which is why the company demands a very high premium. The company trades at roughly 40 times sales, which is the highest valuation out of these three stocks. However, I also believe that Shopify is the highest-quality stock on this list. While all three of these stocks are appealing, Shopify has proven itself the most, and the company's expansion efforts beyond SMB look very promising. While there is more risk that share prices could continue dropping, I think it is worth paying up for high-quality companies, and Shopify fits that bill. Given the number of shares that Cathie Wood owns, I think she is in agreement.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":756,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":603182492,"gmtCreate":1638373940450,"gmtModify":1638374388989,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up&nbsp;","listText":"Up&nbsp;","text":"Up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603182492","repostId":"1104450173","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1104450173","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":1638371420,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1104450173?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-01 23:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto stocks rose in morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1104450173","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Crypto stocks rose in morning trading.Marathon Digital,Riot Blockchain,Canaan,Overstock,The9,Square,","content":"<p>Crypto stocks rose in morning trading.Marathon Digital,Riot Blockchain,Canaan,Overstock,The9,Square,PayPal&nbsp;and&nbsp;Coinbase&nbsp;climbed between 2% and 7%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d78e1ac1d72ef28ea5c0cc29d1a84ce8\" tg-width=\"412\" tg-height=\"657\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> has gained 4.7% over this period.</p>\n<p>The Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.</p>\n<p>This ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.</p>\n<h2>Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings</h2>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p><b>Holding No.&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>&nbsp;Company</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Market Cap&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n   <th><p>Wall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years</p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Weight (% of Portfolio)</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>YTD 2021 Return&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <thead></thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>1</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Nvidia </b>(NASDAQ:NVDA)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$710 billion</p></td>\n   <td>39.4%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>10.6%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>118%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>2</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Roblox </b>(NYSE:RBLX)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$55 billion</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>8.6%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A*</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>3</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Microsoft </b>(NASDAQ:MSFT)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$2.4 trillion</p></td>\n   <td>16.5%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">7.7%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">47.3%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>4</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Meta Platforms</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$932 billion</p></td>\n   <td>21.4%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">6.6%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">22.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>5</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Unity Software </b>(NYSE:U)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$38 billion</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.9%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(13%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>6</p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Apple</b></p></td>\n   <td>$2.8 trillion</td>\n   <td>15.7%</td>\n   <td>4.2%</td>\n   <td>30.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>7</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Amazon.com</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$1.7 trillion</p></td>\n   <td>36%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.2%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">3.7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>8</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Autodesk</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$59 billion</p></td>\n   <td>28.8%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.1%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(11.7%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>9</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Qualcomm</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$200 billion</p></td>\n   <td>25.6%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">3.9%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">19.1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>10</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Tencent Holdings</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$545 billion</p></td>\n   <td>3.7%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>3.9%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(20.8%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>Total Top 10</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>58.7%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>S&amp;P 500</b> / <b>Nasdaq Composite Indexes</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\">26% / 17.8%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo! Finance, and YCharts. EPS = earnings per share. YTD = year to date. *Roblox went public via a direct listing on March 10, 2021; its stock is up 47.6% from the opening price on the first trading day. Data to Dec. 16, 2021.</p>\n<p>Below is a brief look at how the top five companies in this ETF are involved in the metaverse.</p>\n<p>Nvidia is a \"pick-and-shovel\" play on the metaverse. That is, the computer gaming and tech giant provides the tools other companies need to create their own metaverses. Most notable among these tools is its recently launched Omniverse platform. The \"Omniverse brings together Nvidia's expertise in AI [artificial intelligence], simulation, graphics, and computing infrastructure,\" CEO Jensen Huang said last month in the company's release of its stellar fiscal third-quarter results.</p>\n<p>Roblox (No. 2) and Unity Software (No. 5) are gaming engines that can be used to create virtual worlds. They're both relatively new to the public markets: Roblox went public in March 2021 via a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Unity held its initial public offering (IPO) in September 2020. Both companies are rapidly growing revenue, but neither is profitable from an accounting standpoint.</p>\n<p>Microsoft has been building Mesh, its mixed-reality platform that will power Microsoft Teams and other applications. Users will be able to access Mesh on the company's enterprise-focused augmented-reality headset HoloLens 2, as well as virtual reality (VR) headsets, mobile phones, tablets, or PCs using any Mesh-enabled app.</p>\n<p>Last week, Meta Platforms took its first leap into the metaverse via its public launch of Horizon Worlds to adults in the U.S. and Canada. Horizon Worlds is a free social VR platform in which users equipped with the company's Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets can interact.</p>\n<h2>A solid way to invest in the metaverse</h2>\n<p>The Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF looks like a solid way for investors to get exposure to the metaverse. The drawback of ETFs is the same as their advantage: diversification. Indeed, investors willing to do some work and select individual stocks should have a decent shot at outperforming this fund.</p>\n<p>If you're looking for a larger company that's profitable, it's probably hard to go wrong with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. Meta Platforms (the former Facebook) isn't as good a bet. It has higher regulatory risk than the other big U.S.-based tech companies, in my view. Moreover, it has nearly all its (revenue) eggs in one basket because it generates almost all of its revenue from digital advertising.</p>\n<p>Risk-averse investors should steer clear of Tencent Holdings because it's headquartered in China. The Chinese government has been cracking down on tech companies, making their regulatory risk high.</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>Top 10 Metaverse Stocks in META, the World's First Metaverse ETF</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\">\nTop 10 Metaverse Stocks in META, the World's First Metaverse ETF\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-17 22:56 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/17/invest-in-metaverse-stocks-2022/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors are abuzz about the metaverse.

Market size projections for the metaverse vary widely, so suffice it to say this space is poised to be massive.\nLet's take a look at the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (NYSEMKT:META), the world's first metaverse exchange-traded fund (ETF). You might decide that one or more of this ETF's holdings are worth further exploration or that you want to buy the ETF itself.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Performance and the basics\nThis ETF only began trading on June 30, 2021, so it's too soon to make any judgments about its performance. That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the S&P 500 index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has gained 4.7% over this period.\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.\nThis ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings\n\n\n\nHolding No. \n Company\nMarket Cap \nWall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years\nWeight (% of Portfolio)\nYTD 2021 Return \n\n\n\n\n\n1\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n$710 billion\n39.4%\n10.6%\n118%\n\n\n2\nRoblox (NYSE:RBLX)\n$55 billion\nN/A\n8.6%\nN/A*\n\n\n3\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n$2.4 trillion\n16.5%\n7.7%\n47.3%\n\n\n4\nMeta Platforms\n$932 billion\n21.4%\n6.6%\n22.6%\n\n\n5\nUnity Software (NYSE:U)\n$38 billion\nN/A\n4.9%\n(13%)\n\n\n6\nApple\n$2.8 trillion\n15.7%\n4.2%\n30.6%\n\n\n7\nAmazon.com\n$1.7 trillion\n36%\n4.2%\n3.7%\n\n\n8\nAutodesk\n$59 billion\n28.8%\n4.1%\n(11.7%)\n\n\n9\nQualcomm\n$200 billion\n25.6%\n3.9%\n19.1%\n\n\n10\nTencent Holdings\n$545 billion\n3.7%\n3.9%\n(20.8%)\n\n\nTotal Top 10\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n58.7%\nN/A\n\n\nN/A\nS&P 500 / Nasdaq Composite Indexes\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n26% / 17.8%\n\n\n\nData sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo! Finance, and YCharts. EPS = earnings per share. YTD = year to date. *Roblox went public via a direct listing on March 10, 2021; its stock is up 47.6% from the opening price on the first trading day. Data to Dec. 16, 2021.\nBelow is a brief look at how the top five companies in this ETF are involved in the metaverse.\nNvidia is a \"pick-and-shovel\" play on the metaverse. That is, the computer gaming and tech giant provides the tools other companies need to create their own metaverses. Most notable among these tools is its recently launched Omniverse platform. The \"Omniverse brings together Nvidia's expertise in AI [artificial intelligence], simulation, graphics, and computing infrastructure,\" CEO Jensen Huang said last month in the company's release of its stellar fiscal third-quarter results.\nRoblox (No. 2) and Unity Software (No. 5) are gaming engines that can be used to create virtual worlds. They're both relatively new to the public markets: Roblox went public in March 2021 via a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Unity held its initial public offering (IPO) in September 2020. Both companies are rapidly growing revenue, but neither is profitable from an accounting standpoint.\nMicrosoft has been building Mesh, its mixed-reality platform that will power Microsoft Teams and other applications. Users will be able to access Mesh on the company's enterprise-focused augmented-reality headset HoloLens 2, as well as virtual reality (VR) headsets, mobile phones, tablets, or PCs using any Mesh-enabled app.\nLast week, Meta Platforms took its first leap into the metaverse via its public launch of Horizon Worlds to adults in the U.S. and Canada. Horizon Worlds is a free social VR platform in which users equipped with the company's Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets can interact.\nA solid way to invest in the metaverse\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF looks like a solid way for investors to get exposure to the metaverse. The drawback of ETFs is the same as their advantage: diversification. Indeed, investors willing to do some work and select individual stocks should have a decent shot at outperforming this fund.\nIf you're looking for a larger company that's profitable, it's probably hard to go wrong with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. Meta Platforms (the former Facebook) isn't as good a bet. It has higher regulatory risk than the other big U.S.-based tech companies, in my view. Moreover, it has nearly all its (revenue) eggs in one basket because it generates almost all of its revenue from digital advertising.\nRisk-averse investors should steer clear of Tencent Holdings because it's headquartered in China. The Chinese government has been cracking down on tech companies, making their regulatory risk high.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690685873,"gmtCreate":1639664155118,"gmtModify":1639664171039,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690685873","repostId":"1142996286","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1142996286","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":1639659703,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1142996286?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-16 21:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1142996286","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stock-index futures advanced Thursday morning after the market staged a U-turn the previous trading session, welcoming a Federal Reserve decision to ramp up the pace of its taper and leave interest rates unchanged — for now.$Delta Air Lines$ – Delta rose 2.3% in the premarket after projecting a $200 million fourth-quarter profit.

Overall implied volatility has been climbing the past few years.&nbsp; The Volatility Index (VIX) is an indicator of implied volatility. The Chicago Board Options Exchange developed the VIX as a real-time index representing market expectations for the relative strength of near-term price changes of the S&amp;P 500 index (SPX). It is calculated based on the ratio of puts (an option to sell underlying security) to calls (an option to buy underlying security) for near-term (30 days or less) options contracts.</p>\n<p><b>VIX – Bullish or Bearish?</b></p>\n<p>The lower the VIX index and the more calls to puts is considered bullish.&nbsp; Conversely, the more puts to calls driving and higher VIX is deemed to be bearish.&nbsp; The VIX uses put and call options set at specific strike price levels that traders speculate the SPX maybe, not the actual SPX index value. The VIX is one gauge of market sentiment on the direction of prices for the SPX.&nbsp; Over the past several years, the baseline VIX has been climbing as the SPX has rallied. &nbsp;Higher lows indicate growing anxiety about high valuations.&nbsp; The following monthly chart shows the VIX levels since 2014 with higher lows (red arrow) as it spikes at market lows like March 2020.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/98c0f760446a7141e4d4657f24c5fa84\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"637\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Source: Patrick Hill – 10/16/21</p>\n<p>The VIX reached a low of 9.51 in 2017 and today stands at 16.30 on October 15th as a rally continues<i>. &nbsp;The VIX reached a high of 53.54 at the SPX March 2020 decline. It would seem with higher lows that a higher spike is possible. Daily options market volume as of September is higher than the volume of underlying stocks. This means that</i><i><u>speculation on where the SPX level will be</u></i><i>&nbsp;is overtaking market flows.</i></p>\n<p><b>Options Levels Point to A Volatility Storm Zone – Below 4400</b></p>\n<p>Options analysts note last week’s bounce in S&amp;P 500 Index is likely due to traders selling put options at monthly expiration, which crushed implied volatility.&nbsp; The VIX indicator fell to 16.80 from 20. Dealers began setting up ‘short volatility positions and buying calls supporting the rise in market prices. SPX levels of open interest in puts and calls identify where there may be support or resistance to prices.</p>\n<p>The following chart shows a gamma pivot point at 4400.&nbsp; Gamma is the rate of change of the delta or sensitivity of the option price to a $1 change in the underlying stock price.&nbsp; It measures the rate at which dealers must adjust their hedged positions. Positive gamma is above 4400, where there are more calls than puts and traders are net-long options.&nbsp; As a stock price goes up, the dealer sells the stock and buys it as it goes down.&nbsp; Dealers dampen price changes in a positive gamma environment.</p>\n<p>Conversely, when a dealer is net short options, they must hedge by selling the stock as it goes down and buying the stock as price rises triggering increased volatility.&nbsp; Today, 4400 is the pivot point between positive and negative gamma. Below 4300, we added a Volatility Zone where a volatility storm may build. The chart shows total open interest with puts below the zero line and calls above, with current expiration darkly shaded.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be725e07c06556189d424b4731d9f66c\" tg-width=\"731\" tg-height=\"481\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Sources: SpotGamma.com and Patrick Hill – 10/15/21</p>\n<p><b>Watch out Below 4400</b></p>\n<p>Brent Kochuba, a co-founder of SpotGamma, notes likely increased volatility below 4400<i>,</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>”&nbsp;We currently see fairly light put positions below 4400.&nbsp;This implies that traders may need to purchase put options on a break of 4400, which could in turn force options dealers to short futures.

But, what factors might trigger a storm?</p>\n<p><b>Factors Triggering a Volatility Storm</b></p>\n<p>The critical triggering events will be Federal Reserve tapering and interest rate increases planned for 2022.&nbsp; The financial markets depend on high levels of liquidity, so any reduction in liquidity could act as a catalyst for a volatility storm.&nbsp; Other factors that may magnify a liquidity crunch include:</p>\n<ol>\n <li><p>The debt ceiling not being raised in December</p></li>\n <li><p>Options hedgers overreach and can’t cover margin positions, triggering forced selling</p></li>\n <li><p>Inflation roaring further ahead beyond the Fed’s ability to control it, so the market loses confidence in the Fed</p></li>\n <li><p>The Fed raises interest rates higher and faster than the market expects</p></li>\n <li><p>Consumers quit spending, causing retail sales to drop, corporations sales fall, and stock buybacks end that were sustaining high market valuations</p></li>\n <li><p>The economy goes into a recession as GDP drops, employment falls, and corporate valuations fall</p></li>\n <li><p>Any black swan event like the pandemic</p></li>\n</ol>\n<p>Any volatility storm as markets decline is likely to force analysts to shift from valuing stocks based on market speculation to actual GAAP earnings (not stock buyback inflated EPS), fundamentals, and related unused valuation tools.&nbsp; The TINA – ‘there is no alternative’ trading phenomenon would be over.&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Investors will need to be mindful of the extreme volatility posed by a volatility storm.

The following chart shows how the labor shortage is fueling a rise in wages.\n\nSources: NFIB, The Daily Shot 10/12/21\nIn many industries, the labor shortage is forcing employers to hire key employees away from competitors.  Accordingly, employers report in tight markets such as software programming offering 20% hire-on bonuses.   The restaurant industry’s average wage now stands above $15 per hour to attract workers in this 400% yearly worker churn sector.  Further, recruiters report that some workers seeing a tight labor market are evaluating work-life balance choices.  Also, drop-out workers in some cases are taking vacations, pursuing hobbies, or just taking a break.  Remote work-from-home options will continue to create tighter labor conditions for the foreseeable future.  A September Wall Street Journal survey of 52 economists showed that 42% expect the economy to not recover to pre-pandemic workforce levels for years to come.\nNext, let’s look at how weaknesses in the market can provide clues on a gathering volatility storm.\nMonthly, Weekly Time Frames Show Bearish Market Direction\nBrett Freeze, principal at Global Technical Analysis (GTA), uses a unique set of time frames matched with trend models to identify support and resistance levels. Markets behave in different ways based on different time periods and participants. For example, institutional investors tend to make long-term investments quarterly. GTA analysis reports on quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily trends. The following chart shows ES futures contract prices are below Monthly and Weekly Trends. The model notes a one period or two-period move as below trend.  When ES future prices make three consecutive period moves, a trend is indicated for that timeframe.\n\nSource: Brett Freeze, Global Technical Analysis – 10/15/21\nNote: PQH = Previous Quarter High, PQL = Previous Quarter Low, PMH = Previous Month High, PML = Previous Month Low, PWH = Previous Weekly High, PML = Previous Weekly Low, PDH = Previous Daily High, PDL = Previous Daily Low\nRealized Volatility Is Relatively Low, Yet Implied Volatility Is Rising\nRealized volatility is the change in price between the daily closes of a stock, ETF, or financial instrument.  The following chart from Lance Roberts and CNBC shows how price changes in the S&P 500 have been above average but are still within a 2% daily range since the March 2020 SPX lows.\n\nSource: Real Investment Advice – 10/6/21\nRealized volatility shows how market participants are actually driving market price swings by direct trading.  The limited movement of realized volatility obscures the impact of implied volatility of markets.\nImplied Volatility\nImplied volatility is the range of prices based on speculation of where a price may be for underlying security or index at a specific date. Overall implied volatility has been climbing the past few years.  The Volatility Index (VIX) is an indicator of implied volatility. The Chicago Board Options Exchange developed the VIX as a real-time index representing market expectations for the relative strength of near-term price changes of the S&P 500 index (SPX). It is calculated based on the ratio of puts (an option to sell underlying security) to calls (an option to buy underlying security) for near-term (30 days or less) options contracts.\nVIX – Bullish or Bearish?\nThe lower the VIX index and the more calls to puts is considered bullish.  Conversely, the more puts to calls driving and higher VIX is deemed to be bearish.  The VIX uses put and call options set at specific strike price levels that traders speculate the SPX maybe, not the actual SPX index value. The VIX is one gauge of market sentiment on the direction of prices for the SPX.  Over the past several years, the baseline VIX has been climbing as the SPX has rallied.  Higher lows indicate growing anxiety about high valuations.  The following monthly chart shows the VIX levels since 2014 with higher lows (red arrow) as it spikes at market lows like March 2020.\n\nSource: Patrick Hill – 10/16/21\nThe VIX reached a low of 9.51 in 2017 and today stands at 16.30 on October 15th as a rally continues.  The VIX reached a high of 53.54 at the SPX March 2020 decline. It would seem with higher lows that a higher spike is possible. Daily options market volume as of September is higher than the volume of underlying stocks. This means thatspeculation on where the SPX level will be is overtaking market flows.\nOptions Levels Point to A Volatility Storm Zone – Below 4400\nOptions analysts note last week’s bounce in S&P 500 Index is likely due to traders selling put options at monthly expiration, which crushed implied volatility.  The VIX indicator fell to 16.80 from 20. Dealers began setting up ‘short volatility positions and buying calls supporting the rise in market prices. SPX levels of open interest in puts and calls identify where there may be support or resistance to prices.\nThe following chart shows a gamma pivot point at 4400.  Gamma is the rate of change of the delta or sensitivity of the option price to a $1 change in the underlying stock price.  It measures the rate at which dealers must adjust their hedged positions. Positive gamma is above 4400, where there are more calls than puts and traders are net-long options.  As a stock price goes up, the dealer sells the stock and buys it as it goes down.  Dealers dampen price changes in a positive gamma environment.\nConversely, when a dealer is net short options, they must hedge by selling the stock as it goes down and buying the stock as price rises triggering increased volatility.  Today, 4400 is the pivot point between positive and negative gamma. Below 4300, we added a Volatility Zone where a volatility storm may build. The chart shows total open interest with puts below the zero line and calls above, with current expiration darkly shaded.\n\nSources: SpotGamma.com and Patrick Hill – 10/15/21\nWatch out Below 4400\nBrent Kochuba, a co-founder of SpotGamma, notes likely increased volatility below 4400,\n\n” We currently see fairly light put positions below 4400. This implies that traders may need to purchase put options on a break of 4400, which could in turn force options dealers to short futures. This could lead to dealers shorting into a down market, which increases volatility.”\n\nWe have located where the volatility storm may develop. But, what factors might trigger a storm?\nFactors Triggering a Volatility Storm\nThe critical triggering events will be Federal Reserve tapering and interest rate increases planned for 2022.  The financial markets depend on high levels of liquidity, so any reduction in liquidity could act as a catalyst for a volatility storm.  Other factors that may magnify a liquidity crunch include:\n\nThe debt ceiling not being raised in December\nOptions hedgers overreach and can’t cover margin positions, triggering forced selling\nInflation roaring further ahead beyond the Fed’s ability to control it, so the market loses confidence in the Fed\nThe Fed raises interest rates higher and faster than the market expects\nConsumers quit spending, causing retail sales to drop, corporations sales fall, and stock buybacks end that were sustaining high market valuations\nThe economy goes into a recession as GDP drops, employment falls, and corporate valuations fall\nAny black swan event like the pandemic\n\nAny volatility storm as markets decline is likely to force analysts to shift from valuing stocks based on market speculation to actual GAAP earnings (not stock buyback inflated EPS), fundamentals, and related unused valuation tools.  The TINA – ‘there is no alternative’ trading phenomenon would be over.  Investors will need to be mindful of the extreme volatility posed by a volatility storm. Accordingly, wild rallies and steep falls will require portfolio managers to sharpen their hedging and volatility strategies to maintain portfolio value.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":131,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":826247503,"gmtCreate":1634030017721,"gmtModify":1634030017721,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Dropp","listText":"Dropp","text":"Dropp","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/826247503","repostId":"2174854361","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2174854361","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":1633992660,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2174854361?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-12 06:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall St ends choppy session lower on earnings jitters; financials down","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2174854361","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK, Oct 11  - U.S. stocks ended a choppy session lower on Monday as investors grew nervous ahead of third-quarter earnings reporting season.Supply chain problems and higher costs for energy and other things have fueled concern about earnings, set to kick off with JPMorgan Chase & Co  results on Wednesday.Indexes reversed early gains after midday and added to losses just before the close.

That pill, Paxlovid, is likely to become the first-choice treatment against the virus, thanks to its superior benefits and milder side effects.</p>\n<p>As a result, Merck’s pill is expected to have a smaller role against the pandemic than predicted just a few weeks ago. Its ability to head off severe COVID-19 is much smaller than initially announced and the drug label will warn of serious safety issues, including the potential for birth defects.</p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration authorized Merck’s drug for adults with early symptoms of COVID-19 who face the highest risks of hospitalization, including older people and those with conditions like obesity and heart disease. The U.K. first authorized the pill in early November.</p>\n<p>Known as molnupiravir, the Merck drug will carry a warning against use during pregnancy. Women of childbearing age should use birth control during treatment and for a few days after while men should use birth control for at least three months after their final dose, the FDA said.</p>\n<p>The restrictions were expected after an FDA advisory panel only narrowly endorsed the drug last month, warning that its use would have to be strictly tailored to patients who can benefit the most.</p>\n<p>The Pfizer pill works differently and doesn’t carry the same risks. Additionally, Pfizer’s drug was roughly three times more effective in testing, reducing hospitalization and death by nearly 90% among high-risk patients, compared with 30% for Merck’s.</p>\n<p>Some experts question whether there will be much of a role for the Merck drug in the U.S.</p>\n<p>“To the extent that there’s an ample supply of Pfizer’s pill, I think it won’t be used,” said Dr. Gregory Poland of the Mayo Clinic, referring to the Merck drug. “There would be no reason, given it has less efficacy and a higher risk of side effects.”</p>\n<p>For now, the FDA decision provides another potential option against the virus that has killed more than 800,000 Americans, even as health officials brace for record-setting cases, hospitalizations and deaths driven by the omicron variant. Antiviral pills, including Merck’s, are expected to be effective against omicron because they don’t target the spike protein where most of the variant’s worrisome mutations reside.</p>\n<p>The FDA based its decision on results showing nearly 7% of patients taking the drug ended up in the hospital and one died at the end of 30 days. That compared with 10% of patients hospitalized who were taking the placebo and nine deaths.</p>\n<p>Federal officials have agreed to purchase enough of the drug to treat 3.1 million people.</p>\n<p>The U.S. will pay about $700 for each course of Merck’s drug, which requires patients to take four pills twice a day for five days.

That pill, Paxlovid, is likely to become the first-choice treatment against the virus, thanks to its superior benefits and milder side effects.\nAs a result, Merck’s pill is expected to have a smaller role against the pandemic than predicted just a few weeks ago. Its ability to head off severe COVID-19 is much smaller than initially announced and the drug label will warn of serious safety issues, including the potential for birth defects.\nThe Food and Drug Administration authorized Merck’s drug for adults with early symptoms of COVID-19 who face the highest risks of hospitalization, including older people and those with conditions like obesity and heart disease. The U.K. first authorized the pill in early November.\nKnown as molnupiravir, the Merck drug will carry a warning against use during pregnancy. Women of childbearing age should use birth control during treatment and for a few days after while men should use birth control for at least three months after their final dose, the FDA said.\nThe restrictions were expected after an FDA advisory panel only narrowly endorsed the drug last month, warning that its use would have to be strictly tailored to patients who can benefit the most.\nThe Pfizer pill works differently and doesn’t carry the same risks. Additionally, Pfizer’s drug was roughly three times more effective in testing, reducing hospitalization and death by nearly 90% among high-risk patients, compared with 30% for Merck’s.\nSome experts question whether there will be much of a role for the Merck drug in the U.S.\n“To the extent that there’s an ample supply of Pfizer’s pill, I think it won’t be used,” said Dr. Gregory Poland of the Mayo Clinic, referring to the Merck drug. “There would be no reason, given it has less efficacy and a higher risk of side effects.”\nFor now, the FDA decision provides another potential option against the virus that has killed more than 800,000 Americans, even as health officials brace for record-setting cases, hospitalizations and deaths driven by the omicron variant. Antiviral pills, including Merck’s, are expected to be effective against omicron because they don’t target the spike protein where most of the variant’s worrisome mutations reside.\nThe FDA based its decision on results showing nearly 7% of patients taking the drug ended up in the hospital and one died at the end of 30 days. That compared with 10% of patients hospitalized who were taking the placebo and nine deaths.\nFederal officials have agreed to purchase enough of the drug to treat 3.1 million people.\nThe U.S. will pay about $700 for each course of Merck’s drug, which requires patients to take four pills twice a day for five days. A review by Harvard University and King’s College London estimated it costs about $18 to make each 40-pill course of treatment.\nMerck’s drug inserts tiny errors into the coronavirus’ genetic code to slow its reproduction. That genetic effect has raised concerns that the drug could cause mutations in human fetuses and even spur more virulent strains of the virus. But FDA scientists said the variant risk is largely theoretical because people take the drug for such a short period of time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":687,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":601637959,"gmtCreate":1638521380980,"gmtModify":1638521380980,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Rip","listText":"Rip","text":"Rip","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/601637959","repostId":"1155940411","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155940411","pubTimestamp":1638520977,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1155940411?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-03 16:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"In his final warning, this stock trading wizard — who made big money in bear markets and crashes — called this market a bubble like no other ","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155940411","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Veteran trader Mark D.

I had planned to speak with him to discuss his bearish views on the U.S. stock market, which grew more ominous each week and shared in his twice-daily market advisory service.</p>\n<p>Cook was an old-school S&amp;P 500&nbsp;futures trader.

He and I even collaborated on a book about bear markets, published in 2015. In our most recent conversation, Cook said he was convinced that this current bull market was on its last legs. He said it had gone on too long and gone up too high.</p>\n<p>“Think of a vacant building that has a gas leak,” Cook once told me. “The gas has been leaking for a long time. The longer the gas leaks, the bigger the explosion. It will take a catalyst to trigger an explosion, but no one knows what is the trigger point. The longer the gas is in there and ignored, and forgotten, the greater the explosion.</p>\n<p>“The stock market,” he said, “is like the vacant building.” When it blows, the result will be horrible. He expected the worst to hit this market.</p>\n<p>Cook often said that his warnings were not meant to scare investors, but rather to help protect them when a bear market arrives. He was also flexible enough to turn bullish after a crash, which he successfully did after 2008.</p>\n<p>Yet by 2016, Cook had become infuriated by the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying spree and felt that financial markets should be left alone, without central bank interference. By this year, Cook was convinced that the U.S. market’s valuation had inflated into its biggest bubble ever — and when it popped it would devastate both the U.S. economy and investors’ portfolios.</p>\n<p>Although it’s tricky to predict when a bear market is near, there are clues. Here are some of Cook’s key signals:</p>\n<p><b>1. Watch how the S&amp;P 500 rallies</b>: Cook paid attention when S&amp;P 500 rallies were weak or failed. He said you can tell the strength of the market more by the way it rallies than the way it declines. He called them “one-day wonders,” meaning you may get a 1%or 2% rally in the S&amp;P 500 (or more) that didn’t carry over to the next day.</p>\n<p>Even more alarming, if a strong early rally reverses direction by the end of the day, Cook saw it as an important warning sign. Typically, in a bull market, strong and healthy rallies continue not just for a day but for several consecutive days.</p>\n<p><b>2. The buy-on-the-dip strategy fails:</b> Buying-the-dip works brilliantly in a bull market, but it fails during a bear market. When the buy-the-dip trade is punished, Cook knew it was time to either switch strategies or risk getting mowed down.</p>\n<p><b>3. Prices are always the last indicator to fall</b>: Cook often said that the public watches stock prices for clues of a bear market, but that prices are the last domino to fall. No one knows what causes a crash or bear market. The catalyst usually comes from a source that no one has foreseen, hitting a market that is already weak. Prices plunge and everyone realizes the market is in serious trouble. According to Cook, the clues were obvious weeks or even months earlier.</p>\n<p>Cook did not like market crashes because they killed volatility. He often said that crashes are not good for anyone, especially traders. Cook thrived on volatility to make money. He preferred an occasional 10% correction to a crash. He told me he made the most money during corrections and bear markets.</p>\n<p>It also bothered Cook that he made money while so many investors suffered. Short-sellers such as Cook are often despised and even blamed for market crashes. Cook had to deal with being called names and not being invited to share his views on typically bullish financial news shows.</p>\n<p>Here’s a list of some of the ways Cook was able to thrive during crashes and bear markets. Keep in mind that these strategies are primarily for traders:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Sell long positions and move into cash until the storm has passed.</li>\n <li>Buy puts on the S&amp;P 500.</li>\n <li>Buy inverse ETFs.</li>\n <li>Short individual stocks.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Cook said that the most prudent strategy for many traders is to move into cash or sell stocks to a point where they’re comfortable. Moving to cash is not designed to make a profit but to protect your portfolio and also to be ready to take advantage of future investment opportunities.</p>\n<p>Cook said that you must know how much pain you can accept (i.e., risk tolerance). If you can handle a 30% or 40% downturn, then stay the course. If not, move to the sidelines.</p>\n<p>Another key to surviving bear markets and crashes is diversification. If your portfolio is diversified, there is no reason to panic, which is what many people do when the market loses 20% or more.</p>\n<p>Cook left other valuable nuggets of trading wisdom: “One thing that must be stressed,” he wrote, “is that bear markets are not bad. Think of corrections and bear markets as trading opportunities. There is a pause in buying and then an all-out run for the hills when the grizzly is on their heels. When a bear market arrives, people descend into irrational thinking and actions. It&nbsp;<i>always</i>&nbsp;happens.”</p>\n<p>He added: “Take the opportunity to learn about downtrending markets. You should also prepare for the next bull market that will emerge once the bear market ends. That’s when you can really do well. While trading on the short side involves good timing skills and experience, it’s easier to trade in a rising market.”</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>In his final warning, this stock trading wizard — who made big money in bear markets and crashes — called this market a bubble like no other </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\">\nIn his final warning, this stock trading wizard — who made big money in bear markets and crashes — called this market a bubble like no other \n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-03 16:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/in-his-final-warning-this-stock-trading-wizard-who-made-big-money-in-bear-markets-and-crashes-called-this-market-a-bubble-like-no-other-11638434148?mod=hp_LATEST&adobe_mc=MCMID%3D03250748340802259633376614514522268876%7CMCORGID%3DCB68E4BA55144CAA0A4C98A5%2540AdobeOrg%7CTS%3D1638520638><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Veteran trader Mark D.

Think of corrections and bear markets as trading opportunities. There is a pause in buying and then an all-out run for the hills when the grizzly is on their heels. When a bear market arrives, people descend into irrational thinking and actions. It always happens.”\nHe added: “Take the opportunity to learn about downtrending markets. You should also prepare for the next bull market that will emerge once the bear market ends. That’s when you can really do well. While trading on the short side involves good timing skills and experience, it’s easier to trade in a rising market.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":130,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":693361156,"gmtCreate":1639972382501,"gmtModify":1639972382674,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/693361156","repostId":"1183475424","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183475424","pubTimestamp":1639967829,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1183475424?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-20 10:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock: The Strongest Shield Against Rate Hikes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183475424","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nWith inflation running its hottest course in 40 years, the Federal Reserve has decided to a","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>With inflation running its hottest course in 40 years, the Federal Reserve has decided to accelerate the stimulus tapering schedule and prepare for raising interest rates as early as March.</li>\n <li>While rate hikes have historically deterred investors from growth stocks due to concerns over eroding valuation prospects, the Apple stock has remained largely resilient.</li>\n <li>Apple is expected to realize additional upsides ahead, sustained by robust demand for its existing offerings and new opportunities arising from nascent technologies like AR/VR and autonomous vehicles.</li>\n <li>Its strong net cash position also provides sufficient dry powder to fund additional growth in coming years without incurring additional costs of capital amidst rising interest rates.</li>\n <li>As such, Apple's bullish thesis remains intact as it approaches a $3 trillion valuation, despite broader market valuation risks ahead.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdf73ac36a98ce54b343c7e6b613f4d9\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>guvendemir/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>As one of the world’s best performing stocks, Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)&nbsp;has gained close to 40% this year. The stock, which last peaked at $182.13 not too long ago, is currently less than 7% from being the first U.S. publicly listed company to reach a $3 trillion market value and single-handedly accounts for about 15% of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100’s performance. Apple’s market value has grown by&nbsp;more than 220x&nbsp;since the late 1990s, buoyed by the company’s continuous ability to capture robust demand for its innovative portfolio of products and services.</p>\n<p>And Apple’s strong fundamentals are expected to help the stock defy adverse impacts from the imminent rate hikes beginning next year. With inflation running at its hottest in almost four decades, the Federal Reserve decided Wednesday that it will increase the pace at which it is dialing back on the $120 billion monthly bond repurchasing program from $15 billion per month, which began in November, to&nbsp;$30 billion per month.

The stock closed at $179.30 on December 15th, nearing its peak of $182 on Monday. Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.</p>\n<p>With the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.</p>\n<p><b>FY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects</b></p>\n<p>Fiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.</p>\n<p><b>Key Developments in Products</b></p>\n<p>iPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by&nbsp;attracting switchers&nbsp;from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by&nbsp;strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like&nbsp;Verizon&nbsp;and&nbsp;AT&amp;T&nbsp;have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend&nbsp;more than $700 billion&nbsp;over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.</p>\n<p>Mac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the&nbsp;all-new M1-powered iMac&nbsp;earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the&nbsp;reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro&nbsp;in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped&nbsp;over 3.2 million units&nbsp;of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a&nbsp;$224.3 billion&nbsp;and$600 billion&nbsp;market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.</p>\n<p>Recent speculations on Apple’s intentions to&nbsp;strengthen its in-house chip development capacity&nbsp;will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.</p>\n<p><b>Key Developments in Services</b></p>\n<p>On the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include&nbsp;Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the&nbsp;Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a&nbsp;projected value of $61 billion&nbsp;over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the&nbsp;Apple One bundle&nbsp;is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.</p>\n<p>Continued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of&nbsp;more than $400 billion&nbsp;over the next five years. With AAPL hosting&nbsp;one of the largest and most used app stores&nbsp;in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite&nbsp;mounting global regulatory scrutiny&nbsp;over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing&nbsp;legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in&nbsp;delaying App Store changes&nbsp;ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in&nbsp;September&nbsp;as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.</p>\n<p>Currently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by&nbsp;at most $4 billion per year&nbsp;which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.</p>\n<p><b>Key Catalysts Ahead</b></p>\n<p>Apple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a&nbsp;VR headset and AR glasses&nbsp;by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.</p>\n<p>Over the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an&nbsp;$800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.</p>\n<p>Speculations on Apple’s ongoing development of&nbsp;a self-driving electric car&nbsp;is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of&nbsp;more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.</p>\n<p>While Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by&nbsp;at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases</b></p>\n<p>Adjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our&nbsp;most recent analysis&nbsp;on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b5aa95136cfca6f95b962ea36eadab74\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p><i>i.

This represents upside potential of more than 22% based on the last traded price of $171.14 on December 17th.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e88e904b5b900fbcdf4541d856570e2d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"230\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.</span></p>\n<p>The revised price target is derived using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis over a ten-year discrete period in conjunction with the financial projections updated for Apple’s recent developments as analyzed in earlier sections. Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.</p>\n<p>The valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.</p>\n<p><i>i.

Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Apple’s rally, along with similar uptrends observed across other mega-cap tech stocks, accordingly drove intra-day gains of 2.4% for the Nasdaq 100 following the Federal Reserve’s update, indicating investors’ preference to park their money in companies with robust growth prospects to counter risks from the impending rate increases.\nWith the coming holiday season a boon for Apple’s December-quarter sales, the stock’s valuation is expected to enter in the $3 trillion territory sooner than expected. Continued robust demand observed across Apple’s entire product line, generous share buy-backs, and additional revenue contributions expected within the foreseeable future resulting from new, cutting-edge products will also be key catalysts to support the company’s persistently strong fundamentals and keep the stock’s valuation above $3 trillion despite the impending rate hikes. Considering recent developments to the broader market and Apple’s growth prospects, we are raising our 12-month price target for the stock to $209.43.\nFY 2021 Overview and Recap of Fundamental Prospects\nFiscal 2021 was a big year for Apple. The company’s revenues for the year grew 33% from fiscal 2020 to $366 billion, despite on-and-off store closures resulting from recurring coronavirus outbreaks and supply chain constraints that have led to more than $9 billion in lost sales. Every product and service segment achieved record-setting revenues with more than 20% growth from previous year results. Much of the year’s success were attributable to a series of new product launches and feature upgrades. The most notable of which included the 5G-enabled family of iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, as well as the M1-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro.\nKey Developments in Products\niPhone sales grew by 39% this year, the most amongst other segments, and drove more than half of Apple’s fiscal 2021 revenues. The results were a stark contrast to last year’s slump in demand for the mobile device when consumers braced for pandemic-driven economic uncertainties. iPhone sales are expected to remain robust in coming years as global 5G device upgrades continue to gather pace. The likely launch of a more affordable 5G-enabled iPhone SE in 2022 is also expected to further Apple’s market share gains by attracting switchers from “more than a billion non-premium Android users”, and drive the active installed base to another all-time high. The anticipated momentum is further corroborated by iPhone sales patterns observed in recent quarters following the launch of 5G-enabled iPhone 12s and iPhone 13s, where the number of upgraders and switchers grew by strong double digits. Apple’s strong ties with cell-phone carriers is also expected to drive meaningful iPhone sales contributions in coming years. Reputable wireless carriers in the U.S. like Verizon and AT&T have already been keen on promoting the sale of 5G-enabled devices like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 to encourage migration to the 5G network that they have spent billions of dollars on building across the nation. Telecom companies around the world are expected to spend more than $700 billion over the next five years on building-out the 5G network, underscoring significant additional growth opportunities ahead for the iPhone segment as carriers push for the strongest multiyear upgrade cycle in a decade to recoup their investments.\nMac and iPad sales also grew significantly in fiscal 2021, reaching record revenues of $35.2 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively. Following the introduction of the all-new M1-powered iMac earlier this year, Apple also unveiled the reimagined M1-Pro / M1-Max powered MacBook Pro in October. The custom M1 processors made the newest MacBook “better than any Intel-based device for nearly every productivity use case outside of gaming”. This accordingly drove incredible demand for the portable workstation from a diverse group of consumers, ranging from professional creators and photographers to corporate users and students. The company is estimated to have shipped over 3.2 million units of Mac products during the September quarter, which drove record-setting revenues for the segment, while boosting its rank in global PC sales to fourth place amongst other vendors. The introduction of M1-processors in Apple’s computing products also bolstered its position in capitalizing on the surge in global demand for PCs and multi-purpose tablets by allowing the company to build devices with innovative features that can be seamlessly integrated across its ecosystem of peripheral accessories and services to draw adjacent revenues. With accelerated adoption of hybrid work and study arrangements in the post-pandemic era, global demand for portable workstations like PCs and multi-purpose tablets are expected to remain elevated in coming years – the sectors are expected to grow into a $224.3 billion and$600 billion market, respectively, by 2025, which makes favorable trends for Apple’s Mac and iPad segments.\nRecent speculations on Apple’s intentions to strengthen its in-house chip development capacity will likely further the advancement of its technologies offered in coming years and draw additional demand to its products. The company is currently looking for engineers to build-out its capacity in the development of “wireless radios, radio-frequency integrated circuits, and a wireless system-on-chip (“SoC”)”, as well as “semiconductors for connecting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi”. These developments are expected to further enhance seamless integration across Apple’s devices and increase stickiness to its ecosystem of product and service offerings, making its chip unit one of the company’s “most prized assets”.\nKey Developments in Services\nOn the services front, a strong subscriber base had enabled the segment to hit record-setting revenues of more than $68.4 billion in fiscal 2021, up 27% from the prior year. To date, Apple has garnered more than 745 million paid subscribers across its high-margin service offerings, representing a five-fold increase over the last five years. Apple’s increasing push for a subscription-based business model across its wide variety of service platforms, ranging from Apple Music to iCloud storage solutions, paired with attractive new offerings that address key consumer trends in recent years have been a key driver to the company’s fast-expanding margins. New exciting add-on features introduced for existing service platforms include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audiofor Apple Music and the Apple Music Voice Plan. The new subscription-based offerings are expected to further Apple’s reach to adjacent opportunities stemming from increasing global usage of smartphones, laptops and other advanced home electronic products – for instance, the global music streaming market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16% towards a projected value of $61 billion over the next five years, underscoring significant growth headroom for Apple Music. And Apple’s latest introduction of the Apple One bundle is expected to be a key contributor to furthering service segment sales in coming years by attracting new users to pay for subscription services that they otherwise would not have had it not been for the bundle discounts.\nContinued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple’s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace. Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple’s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store – the most notable of which stemming from an ongoing legal battle with Epic Games– the company’s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions might have saved the day. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple’s App store due to the “value of security, privacy and ease of transactions” provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple’s recent success in delaying App Store changes ordered by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in September as part of a year-long lawsuit brought against by Epic Games is another sign of the App Store’s continued strength. The company has argued that the court-mandated order to allow App Store users to “buy directly from developers on the web” would be a threat to the security of their privacy.\nCurrently, developers are fighting for their rights to have app users transact outside of Apple’s ecosystem, which charges developers a hefty commission fee of up to 30% on all purchases. As Apple continues with its appeal of the ruling, the ultimate court decision on whether App Store changes would need to be implemented could take at least another year. But even with an unfavorable ruling, where Apple would have to allow developers to redirect users to payments outside of its ecosystem and/or lower its in-app purchase commission rate, App Store revenues are only expected to decrease by at most $4 billion per year which will not place a material impact on its valuation prospects. The actual quantified impact might even be less than what the market has forecasted, considering the value that App Store users have ascribed to the level of security and convenience that Apple has offered through the platform.\nKey Catalysts Ahead\nApple is undoubtedly a key gateway to bringing emerging technologies to the mainstream due to its massive installed base of devices and related service platform users. And because of this, the highly anticipated launch of cutting-edge products like AR/VR headsets and autonomous vehicles in coming years will likely catapult the stock to new heights. The pioneer of disruptive consumer electronics and devices is expected to launch a VR headset and AR glasses by early 2023, a nascent technology that has been picking up steam in recent months with increasing talks of the metaverse. Similar to most VR headsets already available in the market, Apple’s will feature a 3D display to enable an immersive environment for a variety of activities from gaming to communicating. The differentiating factor will be the company’s plans to implement best-in-class graphics chips in the device to facilitate ultra-high-resolution displays. The impending VR headset will ultimately lay the foundation for its AR glasses, which Apple expects to be the “larger opportunity”.\nOver the next five years, opportunities pertaining to the metaverse are expected to blossom into an $800 billion market. Related software and service sales are expected to drive more than 70% of the projected addressable market, while the remainder will likely be driven by hardware sales. This makes strong tailwinds for Apple, which does not only stand to capitalize on growing metaverse opportunities through the sale of its impending AR/VR headset, but also adjacent revenues pertaining to the usage of related apps, software and service platforms.\nSpeculations on Apple’s ongoing development of a self-driving electric car is also expected to materialize into meaningful upsides for the stock within the foreseeable future. The company is now planning to launch the new product category by 2025, at which time the global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach a value of more than $200 billion. The eventual car will likely feature homages to its existing product portfolio, like an “iPad-like touch screen” infotainment system. And on the technology front, Apple is believed to have completed the development of a custom silicon for powering the vehicle’s autonomous driving capabilities. The newest chips will soon be implemented into its existing fleet of retrofitted SUVs for testing in California according to the state’s DMV, a sign that the impending launch is near.\nWhile Apple’s current market value may already be reflective of “consistent material revenue contributions from new products and services over time”, additional upsides from the above-mentioned new product category launches are still missing. But this will likely change within the next 12 months as the impending launch of an Apple AR/VR device draws near. Near-term projections on early AR/VR device sales are expected to boost Apple’s valuation by at least $150 billion. And over time when metaverse trends continue to gain mainstream traction, Apple is expected to generate more than $200 billion in annual revenues from the AR/VR segment, which could add another 15% on top of its current market value.\nValuation Prospects and Potential Impacts from the Impending Rate Increases\nAdjusting our most recent forecast for Apple’s fiscal 2021 year-end results and December-quarter guidance, our base case projection estimates total net sales of $439.3 billion by the end of fiscal 2022, with further growth towards $668.5 billion by fiscal 2026. The growth assumptions applied across segment revenues in our forecast remains largely unchanged from our most recent analysis on the stock, with additional consideration for management’s near-term outlook on supply constraint impacts and the impending rate hikes. Specifically, lost revenues of $9 billion (i.e. approximately $3 billion during June-quarter and $6 billion during September-quarter) attributable to industry-wide chip shortages and pandemic-driven manufacturing delays during the second half of fiscal 2021 is expected to worsen into the first half of fiscal 2022. While there have been observed improvements to supply chain challenges, continuously robust demand for Apple products is what will drive a higher volume of lost sales in coming quarters. Nonetheless, Apple remains well-positioned for strong fundamentals ahead, which will help to alleviate some of investors’ concerns on valuation due to impending rate hikes.\n\ni. Base Case Financial Projections:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf). Please refer here for further detail on material growth assumptions applied.\nDrawing on the above considerations, our 12-month price target for the Apple stock has been revised to $209.43. This represents upside potential of more than 22% based on the last traded price of $171.14 on December 17th.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nThe revised price target is derived using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis over a ten-year discrete period in conjunction with the financial projections updated for Apple’s recent developments as analyzed in earlier sections. Similar to our original valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows. The discount function is reflective of the company’s risk profile, taking into consideration its current capital structure and strong balance sheet. Apple’s cost of capital for growth is not expected to change significantly as a result of the impending rate hikes, considering a large portion of its existing debt are fixed-rate notes. The company also boasts a consistently robust net cash position, in which management intends to deploy towards additional growth without having to incur incremental capital costs ahead of interest rate increases. This is expected to further cement investors’ confidence in the Apple stock, as they continue their “flight to quality” amidst fear of broader market pressure from rising interest rates.\nThe valuation analysis also assumes an exit multiple of 19.8x, which is consistent with current market expectations on Apple’s growth trajectory over the forecasted period. The applied exit multiple assumption could even improve further within the next 12 months, considering the impending launch of new product segments like AR/VR devices and autonomous vehicles, and offset any potential impacts from the upcoming increases to interest rates.\ni. Base Case Valuation Analysis:\n\nii. Sensitivity Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConclusion\nBased on the foregoing analysis, the anticipated addition of 175 to 200 basis points to the current near-zero Federal Fund Rate over the next two years is not expected to cause material adverse impacts to Apple’s performance from both a fundamental and valuation perspective. Robust global demand for Apple products and services, paired with new innovations are expected to further bolster the company’s fundamental growth prospects. This would accordingly bring additional improvements to Apple’s balance sheet, and further strengthen its position against downward valuation pressures from broader macro headwinds. In fact, increasing demand for quality growth stocks to counter risks resulting from the impending rate hikes might even fuel Apple’s valuation growth momentum. On these considerations, Apple remains one of the best-performing tech stocks to own given its robust uptrend to $3 trillion in the near-term despite impending rate hikes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":810,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":864644121,"gmtCreate":1633100457124,"gmtModify":1633100582443,"author":{"id":"3586590970630142","authorId":"3586590970630142","name":"zero79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18bdafe6e77141b002b8ed62dd5cc0e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Shack&nbsp;","listText":"Shack&nbsp;","text":"Shack","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/864644121","repostId":"2172968435","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2172968435","pubTimestamp":1633097043,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2172968435?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-01 22:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Moderna, BioNTech, Pfizer Fall on Merck Covid-19 Pill News","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2172968435","media":"Investing.com","summary":"By Geoffrey Smith\nInvesting.com -- Shares in the makers of Covid-19 vaccines all fell sharply in pre","content":"<p>By Geoffrey Smith</p>\n<p>Investing.com -- Shares in the makers of Covid-19 vaccines all fell sharply in premarket trading on Friday on expectations that Merck's experimental pill for treating the disease could radically undercut future demand for their drugs.</p>\n<p>By (8:45 AM ET 1345 GMT), Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) stock was down 4.9%, while BioNTech stock was down 5.3% and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) stock was down 1.9%.&nbsp; Pfizer has traditionally been the least price-sensitive to vaccine news because it has many other revenue sources, whereas the other two are, for the present at least, pure plays on Covid-19 treatments.</p>\n<p>Merck (NYSE:MRK) had said earlier that an early-stage trial of its experimental pill had led to clear reductions in hospitalizations among the sample group, all of whom had taken it after developing moderate symptoms of Covid-19.</p>\n<p>The study was stopped early, as is often the case when an experimental drug shows signs of efficacy.</p>\n<p>Scientists have searched feverishly for a Covid-19 remedy that can be manufactured, distributed and administered at massive scale without arousing the suspicions and mistrust that often accompany new vaccines.

It's easy to see why some investors would shy away from Nvidia at these levels. The stock price has delivered over 67,000% returns since going public in 1999. A $10,000 investment would be worth approximately $6.7 million today. But the company is firing on all cylinders, and when you look under the hood, you will find that its future looks very bright, which can arguably justify the premium share price.

The company continues to grow rapidly while improving net profit margins and cash flows. The EV super cycle is just getting started, and Tesla is poised to be top dog. Not only is Tesla a top autonomous and electric vehicle manufacturer, it is, in my opinion, also the best artificial intelligence company in the world.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></b> offers what it calls a \"data warehouse-as-a-service\" (DaaS), a cloud-based data storage and analytics solution. Think \"big data.\" Interestingly, Snowflake is not a SaaS company since its revenue is over 90% consumption based. Snowflake reduces cost and improves agility. Its data platform is unique in that it is not built on an existing big data platform. In addition to big data and analytics, I believe Snowflake is positioned well to create a unique digital advertising moat, which I discuss in detail here.&nbsp;I have been a fan of this stock since pre-IPO, and I have high conviction long term.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U\"><b>Unity Software</b>&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;is best known for gaming. It provides tools and software to assist developers in game creation and marketing. In 2019, over 50% of the top 1,000 mobile games were created using Unity. Unity has players in 195 countries, so it's literally a global company. Unity powers billon-dollar mobile games like <i>Pokémon Go</i> and <i>Angry Birds</i>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are why I personally own the stock. Think metaverse! However, Unity is actually quite diverse in terms of its offerings and industry segments. Here are some other areas Unity works in outside of gaming:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Automotive, transportation, and manufacturing</li>\n <li>Film, animation, and cinematics</li>\n <li>Architecture, engineering, and construction</li>\n <li>Government and aerospace</li>\n <li>Gambling</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b> (NYSE:PATH) is a global software company focused on robotic process automation, also called RPA. The company's software enables organizations to automate data entry and repetitive tasks. RPA technology makes it simple for businesses to build, deploy, and manage bots. These software robots emulate human actions and provide many benefits. Examples include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Increased production times</li>\n <li>Reduction of costs</li>\n <li>Increased employee creativity and innovation</li>\n <li>Improved efficiency</li>\n <li>Increased employee happiness and retention</li>\n <li>Improved process quality</li>\n <li>Higher employee productivity</li>\n <li>Improved customer service</li>\n</ul>","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>5 Growth Stocks to Buy Now for 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\">\n5 Growth Stocks to Buy Now for 2022\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-19 10:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/18/5-growth-stocks-to-buy-now-for-2022/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Today, I provide five growth stocks that I think will perform well in 2022 and beyond.
