The earnings will provide insights into the health and momentum of the economy as they provide a read on both business and consumer spending. With the economy sprinting coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, the big commercial and investment banks are expected toreport strong results.</p>\n<p>The banks are also expected to begin rewarding shareholders after the U.S. Federal Reserve recently cleared them to again payout dividends and buyback their own stock. Wall Street estimates forecast that the six biggest U.S. banks could&nbsp;return more than $140 billion&nbsp;to shareholders in coming months through dividends and share buybacks.</p>\n<p>Here are seven of the biggest American banks with earnings reports next week:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>JPMorgan Chase</b>(NYSE:<b><u>JPM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Goldman Sachs</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Bank of America</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Citigroup</b>(NYSE:<b><u>C</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Wells Fargo</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WFC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Morgan Stanley</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>U.S. Bancorp</b>(NYSE:<b><u>USB</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>JPMorgan Chase (JPM)</b></p>\n<p>First out of the gate next week is the biggest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase. The financial conglomerate led by Jamie Dimon has generated headlines for its spate of recent acquisitions. The bank has&nbsp;made 33 acquisitions&nbsp;so far this year, its biggest spending spree in several years. The deals have mostly involved small foreign money managers and digital banks in countries such as England and Brazil.</p>\n<p>JPMorgan Chase has said that it is pursuing acquisitions to contend with an ongoing low-interest-rate environment and greater competition from financial technology (fintech) companies.</p>\n<p>The deals completed in the first half of this year are on par with all the deals JPMorgan Chase completed last year. JPM stock has risen this year along with the entire bank sector. Year-to-date, JPM stock is up 22% to a July 9 open of $153.05. In the past 12 months, the stock has increased 66%. In this year’s first quarter, JPMorgan Chase’s earnings increased 477% to $4.50 per share diluted and beat analyst estimates of $3.06 a share. Earnings were given a significant boost by $5.2 billion of net reserves that the bank had built up in 2020 during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>For the&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;to be released on July 13, analysts are forecasting revenue of $30 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $3.03.</p>\n<p><b>Goldman Sachs (GS)</b></p>\n<p>Leading investment bank Goldman Sachs also reports&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;on July 13, and expectations are high for blockbuster earnings. The venerable Wall Street firm set the bar high earlier this year when it reported record first quarter results that blew away expectations. Fueled by a record amount of investment banking activity, Goldman Sachs reported first quarter revenues of $17.7 billion, way ahead of the $12.6 billion forecast by analysts. EPS for the bank came in at $18.60, destroying the $10.22 estimated by analysts and 498% higher than in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p>Can Goldman do it again with its second-quarter results? The&nbsp;consensus among analysts&nbsp;is for the investment bank to report second-quarter EPS of $9.52 a share, for year-over-year growth of 52%. Should Goldman Sachs beat expectations by a wide margin, it will likely propel the company’s share price to new heights. In this year’s first half, GS stock rose 40% to its July 9 opening price of $366. In the past year, the stock has gained 77%.</p>\n<p>Despite the big run in the bank’s share price, analysts see further gains in store. The&nbsp;median price target&nbsp;on GS stock is $415, implying another 13% gain in coming months.</p>\n<p><b>Bank of America (BAC)</b></p>\n<p>The second-largest U.S. bank by assets, Bank of America, reports its&nbsp;latest quarterly numbers&nbsp;on July 14. And the lender has been signaling that Wall Street should expect solid second-quarter results. Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan has been saying publicly that Bank of America is emerging from the pandemic a stronger and more competitive financial institution, helped by higher capital ratios and higher reserves. In the first quarter, the bank reported record levels of deposits, investment flows and investment banking revenues.</p>\n<p>Bank of America attracted the attention of investors when it announced on June 28 that it will increase its common stock&nbsp;dividend by 17%&nbsp;to 21 cents per share for the third quarter of this year. This came after the bank announced a $25 billion share buyback plan in April. For the second quarter, Bank of America is&nbsp;expected to report&nbsp;EPS of 77 cents, more than doubling Q2 2020’s $0.37.</p>\n<p>In this year’s first quarter, Bank of America posted EPS of 86 cents, up 115% year-over-year and above the consensus forecast of 66 cents. First quarter revenues were up a slight 0.2% to $22.8 billion, beating analysts’ estimates of $22.13 billion. BAC stock has climbed 32% higher year-to-date to $39.65 a share as of July 9. In the past 12 months, the share price has increased 73%. While the stock&nbsp;pulled back in the middle of June, next week’s earnings could spark the next leg higher.</p>\n<p><b>Citigroup (C)</b></p>\n<p>On July 14, we’ll also get earnings from Citigroup. And the latest results come at a time when C stock has been struggling and, at its July 9 level of $66.73 a share, is starting to look a little undervalued compared to its peers.</p>\n<p>Citigroup’s share price is up 11% year-to-date and has risen 34% over the last 52 weeks. Those are decent returns, but they trail the other big banks featured in this article. In the past month, Citigroup’s share price has slumped 14%. The&nbsp;June drop&nbsp;came after the bank warned that its trading revenue will likely decline by 30% this year on weak deal volumes.</p>\n<p>Despite the downward guidance, analysts still expect Citigroup to report earnings growth for the second quarter of this year. The bank is forecast to post EPS of $1.91 next week, which would be a year-over-year increase of nearly 300%. However, revenues are expected to come in at $17.35 billion, which would be about 10% lower than the second quarter of 2020 revenue of $19.77 billion. Many analysts revised down their revenue forecasts after Citigroup warned of rising costs. Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason said on June 16 that he expects&nbsp;second-quarter expenses&nbsp;to increase by as much as $11.6 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Wells Fargo (WFC)</b></p>\n<p>San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, which reports earnings on July 14, recently dominated headlines after it announced that it is closing out all of its existing&nbsp;personal lines of credit&nbsp;and will no longer offer the financial product. Lines of credit typically give retail customers loans of $3,000 to $100,000 and is often used to consolidate higher-interest credit card debt, pay for home renovations and fund college educations.</p>\n<p>The news came as a jolt to Wells Fargo customers, who were informed by the bank that the credit line closures “may have an impact on your credit score.”</p>\n<p>Eliminating the lines of credit is the latest move by Wells Fargo as it reviews its operations coming out the pandemic. The steps taken to date seem to be winning approval from investors. WFC stock is one of the best performing among banks this year. So far this year, Wells Fargo stock has gained 44% and now trades at $43.18. The share price is up 77% over the last year.For its second quarter, analysts expect Wells Fargo to report EPS of 93 cents on $17.78 billion in revenues.</p>\n<p><b>Morgan Stanley (MS)</b></p>\n<p>Investment bank Morgan Stanley won praise from investors a few weeks back after it became the first Wall Street firm to increase its dividend payout after passing the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest stress test. A day after getting the all clear from the central bank, Morgan Stanley announced that it is&nbsp;doubling its quarterly dividend&nbsp;to 70 cents per share starting in this year’s third quarter and spending $12 billion to buy back its own stock. The share repurchase program will run for the next four quarters.</p>\n<p>The positive news for shareholders helped to extend a rally in MS stock, which is now up 31% year-to-date at $87.40 a share, and up 79% over the past 12 months. Similar to rival investment bank Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley’s first quarter revenue toppled analyst expectations. For the&nbsp;first three months&nbsp;of this year, Morgan Stanley reported EPS of $2.22 a share, a substantial improvement over projections of $1.70. And the company’s revenue increased 61% in the first quarter to a record $15.7 billion, beating analysts’ estimates by $1.6 billion.</p>\n<p>For the second quarter&nbsp;reporting on July 15, analysts forecast that Morgan Stanley will report EPS of $1.65 on revenue of $13.96 billion.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. Bancorp (USB)</b></p>\n<p>Probably the least-known bank on this list is Minneapolis, Minnesota-based U.S. Bancorp. While it primarily operates in the Midwest, U.S. Bancorp is currently the fifth-largest American bank with assets approaching $500 billion. Often referred to as a“super regional bank”because of its size and performance, the lender is a&nbsp;long-term holding&nbsp;of legendary investor Warren Buffett’s&nbsp;<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BRK.B</u></b>) holding company. Buffett currently has more than $8 billion invested in USB stock.</p>\n<p>Year-to-date, USB stock is up 22%, opening July 9 at $56.08 a share. In the past 12 months, the share price has climbed 60% higher. However, like the rest of the banking sector, U.S. Bancorp’s stock pulled back over the past month, dipping 6% on worries that inflation is abating and interest rates may remain at historic lows over the medium-term.</p>\n<p>As for its earnings on July 15, analysts expect the lender to&nbsp;report EPS of $1.12&nbsp;for the second quarter on revenues of $5.63 billion. In&nbsp;this year’s first quarter, U.S. Bancorp reported EPS of $1.45, beating consensus estimates of 96 cents. First quarter revenue came in at $5.47 billion compared to analysts’ expectations of $5.53 billion.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Earnings Reports to Watch Next Week</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n7 Earnings Reports to Watch Next Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-11 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/earnings-reports-to-watch-next-week/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Earnings reports will provide insight into how these companies are performing\nSource: Shutterstock\nThe major U.S. banks are due to report their latest earnings the week of July 12, and the results can...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/earnings-reports-to-watch-next-week/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"JPM":"摩根大通","WFC":"富国银行","C":"花旗","GS":"高盛","MS":"摩根士丹利","BAC":"美国银行","USB":"美国合众银行"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/earnings-reports-to-watch-next-week/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1135090843","content_text":"Earnings reports will provide insight into how these companies are performing\nSource: Shutterstock\nThe major U.S. banks are due to report their latest earnings the week of July 12, and the results can be expected to dominate the financial news cycle.

The share price is up 77% over the last year.For its second quarter, analysts expect Wells Fargo to report EPS of 93 cents on $17.78 billion in revenues.\nMorgan Stanley (MS)\nInvestment bank Morgan Stanley won praise from investors a few weeks back after it became the first Wall Street firm to increase its dividend payout after passing the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest stress test. A day after getting the all clear from the central bank, Morgan Stanley announced that it is doubling its quarterly dividend to 70 cents per share starting in this year’s third quarter and spending $12 billion to buy back its own stock. The share repurchase program will run for the next four quarters.\nThe positive news for shareholders helped to extend a rally in MS stock, which is now up 31% year-to-date at $87.40 a share, and up 79% over the past 12 months. Similar to rival investment bank Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley’s first quarter revenue toppled analyst expectations. For the first three months of this year, Morgan Stanley reported EPS of $2.22 a share, a substantial improvement over projections of $1.70. And the company’s revenue increased 61% in the first quarter to a record $15.7 billion, beating analysts’ estimates by $1.6 billion.\nFor the second quarter reporting on July 15, analysts forecast that Morgan Stanley will report EPS of $1.65 on revenue of $13.96 billion.\nU.S. Bancorp (USB)\nProbably the least-known bank on this list is Minneapolis, Minnesota-based U.S. Bancorp. While it primarily operates in the Midwest, U.S. Bancorp is currently the fifth-largest American bank with assets approaching $500 billion. Often referred to as a“super regional bank”because of its size and performance, the lender is a long-term holding of legendary investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway(NYSE:BRK.B) holding company. Buffett currently has more than $8 billion invested in USB stock.\nYear-to-date, USB stock is up 22%, opening July 9 at $56.08 a share. In the past 12 months, the share price has climbed 60% higher. However, like the rest of the banking sector, U.S. Bancorp’s stock pulled back over the past month, dipping 6% on worries that inflation is abating and interest rates may remain at historic lows over the medium-term.\nAs for its earnings on July 15, analysts expect the lender to report EPS of $1.12 for the second quarter on revenues of $5.63 billion. In this year’s first quarter, U.S. Bancorp reported EPS of $1.45, beating consensus estimates of 96 cents. First quarter revenue came in at $5.47 billion compared to analysts’ expectations of $5.53 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":200,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":141212453,"gmtCreate":1625874994172,"gmtModify":1631889597058,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hara thank","listText":"Hara thank","text":"Hara thank","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/141212453","repostId":"1159307278","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159307278","pubTimestamp":1625873648,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1159307278?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-10 07:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Things to Know About Virgin Galactic and the First Passenger Flight to Space","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159307278","media":"Barrons","summary":"Richard Branson’s planned flight to space on Sunday could be a monumental moment for the fledgling s","content":"<p>Richard Branson’s planned flight to space on Sunday could be a monumental moment for the&nbsp;fledgling space tourism industry.</p>\n<p>So long as there are no issues or delays, the flight will take the 70-year-old founder of&nbsp;Virgin Galactic(ticker: SPCE), company mission specialists, and pilots, on the first passenger trip to space, beating Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin passenger flight by more than a week.</p>\n<p>Here’s what to watch for Sunday, along with some recent history.</p>\n<p><b>When Will the Virgin Galactic Space Flight Take Off?</b></p>\n<p>The Virgin Galactic Unity 22 spaceflight is expected to launch from Virgin’s spaceport in New Mexico around 9 a.m. eastern time.

The launch can be streamed live on the company’s website and on Barron’s below.\nHow High Up in Space Will Passenger Go?\nGalactic’s VSS Unity spacecraft will hit speeds of about Mach 3, or three times the speed of sound, and rise to about 300,000 feet, or 57 miles. That’s about 10 times as high as many commercial flights but still considered the edge of space. The suborbital flight will not pass the so-called Karman line, which is what scientists use to define the boundary of outer space. That line is about 62 miles up.\nBlue Origin plans to take its passengers past the Karman line on its flight.\nHow Much Did Passengers Pay for the Trip?\nNothing. While this flight could be another step forward for space tourism, the expected crew members are Galactic employees and Branson. Joining the company’s founder on board will be two pilots; Beth Moses, chief astronaut instructor; Colin Bennett, lead operations engineer; and Sirisha Bandla, vice president of government affairs and research operations.\nStill, Branson is no stranger to publicity. Canaccord analyst Ken Herbert believes it’s possible that Galactic could surprise viewers by bringing a paying customer on board with Branson. That would generate additional buzz for the company.\nA move like that would best space-tourism competitor Blue Origin in another way. Bezos is expected to take the first paying passenger to space on his flight later this month. That seat was auctioned off for $28 million.\nA ticket on a future Virgin Galactic flight will run about $250,000.\nWhat Does the Flight Mean for Investors?\nThe continuation of flight tests brings Galactic one step closer to full commercialization, which means sales and, hopefully, earnings down the road.\nOnce fully operational, each Galactic spaceship is expected to make roughly 36 flights a year. Most Galactic spaceships have about six seats for sale. At full capacity, that’s about $54 million per spaceship a year.\nAnalysts expect Galactic to do about $3 million in 2021 sales, growing to $51 million in 2022 and $555 million by 2025. Earnings and cash flow are expected to turn positive around 2024.\nThe flight and associated news coverage also represent publicity for the company.\nHow Will Virgin Galactic Stock Benefit?\nA successful test flight is a clear positive for Galactic, but it might not be so for its stock. The news of the flight and the potential benefits are, for the most part, already priced into shares of Virgin Galactic.\n\nThe stock is up roughly 120% year to date and up more than 200% over the past 12 months, giving the start-up a market capitalization of around $11 billion.\nInvestors shouldn’t be disappointed if the stock doesn’t gain on Monday following a successful flight. The ultimate value of the company will be determined down the road.\nAnalysts loved the stock when it was cheaper. Back in September, all analysts covering Galactic rated shares Buy. Theaverage Buy-ratingratio for S&P 500 stocks is about 55%.\nShares were $25 in September. Now, only 30% of analysts rate shares Buy as the stock has rocketed north of $50 a share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":178,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":141216340,"gmtCreate":1625874940580,"gmtModify":1631889597063,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Helloknbvf","listText":"Helloknbvf","text":"Helloknbvf","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/141216340","repostId":"2150030193","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":55,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":141211823,"gmtCreate":1625874854062,"gmtModify":1631889597064,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Mmhvggf","listText":"Mmhvggf","text":"Mmhvggf","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ffed33f7669da8577dcae82f35ec8b6d","width":"750","height":"784"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/141211823","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":244,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143617914,"gmtCreate":1625791539538,"gmtModify":1631889597066,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hhgfdxssgjk","listText":"Hhgfdxssgjk","text":"Hhgfdxssgjk","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0ca82f8ca4a4e66ceb62c1624989d73","width":"750","height":"784"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/143617914","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":194,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":149156681,"gmtCreate":1625710822743,"gmtModify":1631889597070,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hhhgfddghj","listText":"Hhhgfddghj","text":"Hhhgfddghj","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd7fb7ca57dc436cb970c093b1178821","width":"750","height":"784"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/149156681","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":80,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140343086,"gmtCreate":1625632630945,"gmtModify":1631889597071,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahdjdf","listText":"Hahdjdf","text":"Hahdjdf","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/140343086","repostId":"1118965242","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140349581,"gmtCreate":1625632599843,"gmtModify":1631889597076,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahhdhf","listText":"Hahhdhf","text":"Hahhdhf","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/140349581","repostId":"1118965242","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140340502,"gmtCreate":1625632558406,"gmtModify":1631889597081,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"h

have set investors in their stocks up for disappointment.","content":"<p><b>AMC Entertainment Holdings </b>(NYSE:AMC), <b>GameStop </b>(NYSE:GME), and <b>Koss </b>(NASDAQ:KOSS) have become some of the more popular meme stocks in recent months. Traders monitoring Reddit's WallStreetBets online forum and other investors driven by social media have enjoyed some success trying to force short squeezes. But when the dust clears and momentum traders move on, investors could find themselves stuck holding stock in struggling companies with weak competitive advantages.</p>\n<p>Let's find out a bit more about why these are three stocks I would avoid at all costs.</p>\n<h2>1. AMC: Can it return to pre-pandemic revenue levels?</h2>\n<p>Thanks mainly to traders looking to force short sellers to cover their bets, AMC has risen nearly 2,700% since the beginning of the year. This outsized interest in the stock has made it possible for the international theater chain to issue additional shares and raise sorely needed funds.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F632064%2Fgettyimages-1162949169.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"399\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Since Jan. 1, the overall share count has risen from 224 million to 502 million. This raised its cash levels by more than $500 million to $813 million in the first three months of the year.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the business continues to suffer. Revenue fell 84% in the first quarter of 2021 from year-ago levels and declined 77% during fiscal 2020 compared with 2019.</p>\n<p>Theater reopenings could bring revenue improvements when AMC releases its second-quarter results. But will they show enough improvement to reflect the massive surge in the stock price? Thanks to the run-up, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 25, up from 0.2 at the beginning of the year. Until the recent surge in the stock price, the sales multiple had rarely climbed above 0.5 over the last three years.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, investors seem to have fewer reasons than ever to buy this stock at a high valuation. Hollywood studios have only recently started to release new films to theaters. And they now release many of them to streaming services simultaneously, dramatically increasing AMC's competition. Moreover, many consumers have built home theaters that replicate the theater experience.</p>\n<p>Yes, many moviegoers will probably still go to theaters despite these factors. However, reduced demand will bring about consolidation, making it more likely AMC and its peers will close some theaters. Thus, it remains unclear when or even if AMC will return to pre-pandemic revenue levels.</p>\n<h2>2. GameStop: New management and sales growth won't be enough</h2>\n<p>Thanks to a social media-inspired battle with the short-sellers, GameStop stock has managed to increase by more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Now, this video-game-centric retailer has just turned the corner by attracting institutional investors and joining the <b>Russell 1000</b>.</p>\n<p>It also has branched out into new lines of business, such as toys and collectibles. Nonetheless, investors have primarily focused on the move into e-commerce to capitalize on game downloads. To that end, it hired e-commerce specialist Matt Furlong as its new CEO. Furlong ran <b>Amazon</b>'s Australia operations during a period of high growth.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these moves might do little more than stop its competitive moat from narrowing further. Now, GameStop is merely another seller in the toy and collectible businesses. Moreover, its game downloads typically sell for the same price on the manufacturer's website. Besides serving as a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-stop-shop for game downloads, it offers little advantage other than the name recognition it built in past years.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the improvements helped revenue to grow 25% from year-ago levels to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, falling operating expenses helped narrow the quarterly loss to $67 million versus $166 million in the year-ago quarter. Still, net sales fell 21% in fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, at a P/S ratio of 2.6, it might appear inexpensive. However, with that ratio growing by more than 4,500% over the last year, any progress it could make in the near term might already be priced in.</p>\n<h2>3. Koss: Struggling to gain market share in a crowded market</h2>\n<p>Koss has also enjoyed some notoriety as a meme stock, reaching a high of $127.45 per share in early January on speculation driven by social media, before a massive pullback. This headphone and audio accessory manufacturer now trades in the $25-per-share range.</p>\n<p>After decades of struggling for survival, the company has won praise in recent years in the headset market. Many of its Bluetooth and wireless headsets earned ratings close to five stars on Amazon.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, its products continue to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Koss must also compete with companies such as <b>Apple </b>and <b>Sony</b>. Aside from their massive size and name-recognition advantages, both operate ecosystems that could give their headsets an advantage. Moreover, a survey by CSIMarket found Koss' headsets held a market share of less than 1%.</p>\n<p>This disadvantage extends to financials. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, sales fell 2% from the year-ago period. Koss managed to reverse the losses suffered during 2020 and posted a profit of almost $162,000 during that time.</p>\n<p>However, the forgiveness of a $507,000 Small Business Administration loan and a $379,000 gain from the settlement of a short sale drove the positive net income. Otherwise, Koss would have lost $724,000 during that period, more than the $624,000 loss from the first nine months of 2020.</p>\n<p>Moreover, it has reported about $982,000 in negative cash flows during the current fiscal year and holds just over $6 million in cash. Given that financial state, it may struggle to finance the marketing and product improvements necessary to keep up with larger competitors.</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 Stocks I Would Avoid at All Costs</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 Stocks I Would Avoid at All Costs\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-30 23:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/30/3-stocks-i-would-avoid-at-all-costs/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC), GameStop (NYSE:GME), and Koss (NASDAQ:KOSS) have become some of the more popular meme stocks in recent months.

Financials were the best-performing S&P 500 sector with a 1.3% gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 237.02 points, or 0.7%, to 34,433.84, sitting less than 2% from its record. The Nasdaq Composite erased earlier gains and closed 0.1% lower at 14,360.39 amid a rise in bond yields. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped 4 basis points to 1.52%.\nThe S&P 500 rallied 2.7% for the week, notching its biggest weekly gain since early February. The Dow gained 3.4% this week for its best week since mid-March, while the Nasdaq advanced 2.4%.\nFriday’s rally came after a key inflation indicator that the Federal Reserve uses to set policy rose 3.4% in May, the fastest increase since the early 1990s, the Commerce Department reported Friday. The reading matched the expectation from economists polled by Dow Jones. The core index rose 0.5% for the month, which actually was below the 0.6% estimate.\nThe core personal consumption expenditures price index increase reflects the rapid pace of economic expansion and resulting price pressures, and amplified how far the nation has come since the pandemic-induced shutdown of 2020.\n“This provided support to the Fed’s argument that inflation is transitory and will help allay fears that we are witnessing runaway inflation,” said Anu Gaggar, senior global Investment analyst at Commonwealth Financial Network. “This should continue to provide support to risk assets such as equities.”\nBank shares jumped after the Federal Reserve announced the banking industry could easily withstand a severe recession. The Fed, in releasing the results of its annual stress test, said the 23 institutions in the 2021 exam remained “well above” minimum required capital levels during a hypothetical economic downturn. The decision cleared the way for the banks to raise dividends and buy back more stock, which was suspended during the pandemic.\nWells Fargo climbed 2.6%, while Fifth Third and PNC all gained over 2%. JPMorgan and Bank of America both rose more than 1%.\nNike’s stock surged 15.5%, helping to boost sentiment for the Dow. The company reported earnings and revenue that blew past Wall Street estimates. Digital sales also jumped 41% since last year and 147% from two years ago.\nOn the flipside,FedEx dipped 3.6% despite beating on the top and bottom lines of its earnings. FedEx also gave a strong yearly outlook.\nFriday saw heightened trading volume as FTSE Russell was set to rebalance its U.S. stock indexes at the market close. Bank of America estimated that more than $170 billion worth of shares would be changed hands as a result of 625 changes in total to Russell indexes, including the Russell 1000 and Russell 2000.\nPresident Joe Biden announced Thursday that the White House struck an infrastructure deal with a bipartisan group of senators. The lawmakers have worked for weeks to craft a roughly $1 trillion package that could get through Congress with support from both parties. The framework will include $579 billion in new spending on transportation like roads, bridges and rail, electric vehicle infrastructure and electric transit, among other things.\nThe stock market came back from last week’s swoon induced by worries about a tighter Federal Reserve. Last week, the Dow fell 3.5% and the S&P 500 shed 1.9% as the Fed moved up its timeline for interest-rate increases.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":62,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140343086,"gmtCreate":1625632630945,"gmtModify":1631889597071,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hahdjdf","listText":"Hahdjdf","text":"Hahdjdf","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/140343086","repostId":"1118965242","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":152196168,"gmtCreate":1625274415554,"gmtModify":1631892186782,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"He hahah","listText":"He hahah","text":"He hahah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/152196168","repostId":"1165340887","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":17,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151289220,"gmtCreate":1625094804760,"gmtModify":1631892186786,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hehehehe","listText":"Hehehehe","text":"Hehehehe","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/151289220","repostId":"2147146918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2147146918","pubTimestamp":1625067140,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2147146918?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-30 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks I Would Avoid at All Costs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2147146918","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These companies have set investors in their stocks up for disappointment.","content":"<p><b>AMC Entertainment Holdings </b>(NYSE:AMC), <b>GameStop </b>(NYSE:GME), and <b>Koss </b>(NASDAQ:KOSS) have become some of the more popular meme stocks in recent months. Traders monitoring Reddit's WallStreetBets online forum and other investors driven by social media have enjoyed some success trying to force short squeezes. But when the dust clears and momentum traders move on, investors could find themselves stuck holding stock in struggling companies with weak competitive advantages.</p>\n<p>Let's find out a bit more about why these are three stocks I would avoid at all costs.</p>\n<h2>1. AMC: Can it return to pre-pandemic revenue levels?</h2>\n<p>Thanks mainly to traders looking to force short sellers to cover their bets, AMC has risen nearly 2,700% since the beginning of the year. This outsized interest in the stock has made it possible for the international theater chain to issue additional shares and raise sorely needed funds.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F632064%2Fgettyimages-1162949169.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"399\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Since Jan. 1, the overall share count has risen from 224 million to 502 million. This raised its cash levels by more than $500 million to $813 million in the first three months of the year.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the business continues to suffer. Revenue fell 84% in the first quarter of 2021 from year-ago levels and declined 77% during fiscal 2020 compared with 2019.</p>\n<p>Theater reopenings could bring revenue improvements when AMC releases its second-quarter results. But will they show enough improvement to reflect the massive surge in the stock price? Thanks to the run-up, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 25, up from 0.2 at the beginning of the year. Until the recent surge in the stock price, the sales multiple had rarely climbed above 0.5 over the last three years.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, investors seem to have fewer reasons than ever to buy this stock at a high valuation. Hollywood studios have only recently started to release new films to theaters. And they now release many of them to streaming services simultaneously, dramatically increasing AMC's competition. Moreover, many consumers have built home theaters that replicate the theater experience.</p>\n<p>Yes, many moviegoers will probably still go to theaters despite these factors. However, reduced demand will bring about consolidation, making it more likely AMC and its peers will close some theaters. Thus, it remains unclear when or even if AMC will return to pre-pandemic revenue levels.</p>\n<h2>2. GameStop: New management and sales growth won't be enough</h2>\n<p>Thanks to a social media-inspired battle with the short-sellers, GameStop stock has managed to increase by more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Now, this video-game-centric retailer has just turned the corner by attracting institutional investors and joining the <b>Russell 1000</b>.</p>\n<p>It also has branched out into new lines of business, such as toys and collectibles. Nonetheless, investors have primarily focused on the move into e-commerce to capitalize on game downloads. To that end, it hired e-commerce specialist Matt Furlong as its new CEO. Furlong ran <b>Amazon</b>'s Australia operations during a period of high growth.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these moves might do little more than stop its competitive moat from narrowing further. Now, GameStop is merely another seller in the toy and collectible businesses. Moreover, its game downloads typically sell for the same price on the manufacturer's website. Besides serving as a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-stop-shop for game downloads, it offers little advantage other than the name recognition it built in past years.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the improvements helped revenue to grow 25% from year-ago levels to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, falling operating expenses helped narrow the quarterly loss to $67 million versus $166 million in the year-ago quarter. Still, net sales fell 21% in fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, at a P/S ratio of 2.6, it might appear inexpensive. However, with that ratio growing by more than 4,500% over the last year, any progress it could make in the near term might already be priced in.</p>\n<h2>3. Koss: Struggling to gain market share in a crowded market</h2>\n<p>Koss has also enjoyed some notoriety as a meme stock, reaching a high of $127.45 per share in early January on speculation driven by social media, before a massive pullback. This headphone and audio accessory manufacturer now trades in the $25-per-share range.</p>\n<p>After decades of struggling for survival, the company has won praise in recent years in the headset market. Many of its Bluetooth and wireless headsets earned ratings close to five stars on Amazon.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, its products continue to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Koss must also compete with companies such as <b>Apple </b>and <b>Sony</b>. Aside from their massive size and name-recognition advantages, both operate ecosystems that could give their headsets an advantage. Moreover, a survey by CSIMarket found Koss' headsets held a market share of less than 1%.</p>\n<p>This disadvantage extends to financials. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, sales fell 2% from the year-ago period.

Traders monitoring Reddit's WallStreetBets online forum and other investors driven by social media have enjoyed some success trying to force short squeezes. But when the dust clears and momentum traders move on, investors could find themselves stuck holding stock in struggling companies with weak competitive advantages.\nLet's find out a bit more about why these are three stocks I would avoid at all costs.\n1. AMC: Can it return to pre-pandemic revenue levels?\nThanks mainly to traders looking to force short sellers to cover their bets, AMC has risen nearly 2,700% since the beginning of the year. This outsized interest in the stock has made it possible for the international theater chain to issue additional shares and raise sorely needed funds.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSince Jan. 1, the overall share count has risen from 224 million to 502 million. This raised its cash levels by more than $500 million to $813 million in the first three months of the year.\nNonetheless, the business continues to suffer. Revenue fell 84% in the first quarter of 2021 from year-ago levels and declined 77% during fiscal 2020 compared with 2019.\nTheater reopenings could bring revenue improvements when AMC releases its second-quarter results. But will they show enough improvement to reflect the massive surge in the stock price? Thanks to the run-up, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio now stands at 25, up from 0.2 at the beginning of the year. Until the recent surge in the stock price, the sales multiple had rarely climbed above 0.5 over the last three years.\nUnfortunately, investors seem to have fewer reasons than ever to buy this stock at a high valuation. Hollywood studios have only recently started to release new films to theaters. And they now release many of them to streaming services simultaneously, dramatically increasing AMC's competition. Moreover, many consumers have built home theaters that replicate the theater experience.\nYes, many moviegoers will probably still go to theaters despite these factors. However, reduced demand will bring about consolidation, making it more likely AMC and its peers will close some theaters. Thus, it remains unclear when or even if AMC will return to pre-pandemic revenue levels.\n2. GameStop: New management and sales growth won't be enough\nThanks to a social media-inspired battle with the short-sellers, GameStop stock has managed to increase by more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year. Now, this video-game-centric retailer has just turned the corner by attracting institutional investors and joining the Russell 1000.\nIt also has branched out into new lines of business, such as toys and collectibles. Nonetheless, investors have primarily focused on the move into e-commerce to capitalize on game downloads. To that end, it hired e-commerce specialist Matt Furlong as its new CEO. Furlong ran Amazon's Australia operations during a period of high growth.\nUnfortunately, these moves might do little more than stop its competitive moat from narrowing further. Now, GameStop is merely another seller in the toy and collectible businesses. Moreover, its game downloads typically sell for the same price on the manufacturer's website. Besides serving as a one-stop-shop for game downloads, it offers little advantage other than the name recognition it built in past years.\nNonetheless, the improvements helped revenue to grow 25% from year-ago levels to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Moreover, falling operating expenses helped narrow the quarterly loss to $67 million versus $166 million in the year-ago quarter. Still, net sales fell 21% in fiscal 2020.\nFurthermore, at a P/S ratio of 2.6, it might appear inexpensive. However, with that ratio growing by more than 4,500% over the last year, any progress it could make in the near term might already be priced in.\n3. Koss: Struggling to gain market share in a crowded market\nKoss has also enjoyed some notoriety as a meme stock, reaching a high of $127.45 per share in early January on speculation driven by social media, before a massive pullback. This headphone and audio accessory manufacturer now trades in the $25-per-share range.\nAfter decades of struggling for survival, the company has won praise in recent years in the headset market. Many of its Bluetooth and wireless headsets earned ratings close to five stars on Amazon.\nUnfortunately, its products continue to operate at a competitive disadvantage. Koss must also compete with companies such as Apple and Sony. Aside from their massive size and name-recognition advantages, both operate ecosystems that could give their headsets an advantage. Moreover, a survey by CSIMarket found Koss' headsets held a market share of less than 1%.\nThis disadvantage extends to financials. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, sales fell 2% from the year-ago period. Koss managed to reverse the losses suffered during 2020 and posted a profit of almost $162,000 during that time.\nHowever, the forgiveness of a $507,000 Small Business Administration loan and a $379,000 gain from the settlement of a short sale drove the positive net income. Otherwise, Koss would have lost $724,000 during that period, more than the $624,000 loss from the first nine months of 2020.\nMoreover, it has reported about $982,000 in negative cash flows during the current fiscal year and holds just over $6 million in cash. Given that financial state, it may struggle to finance the marketing and product improvements necessary to keep up with larger competitors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":85,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124152529,"gmtCreate":1624755287961,"gmtModify":1631893455565,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/124152529","repostId":"1137119316","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137119316","pubTimestamp":1624754401,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1137119316?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-27 08:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ford Or NIO?

Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.</p>\n<p><b>Ford vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up</b></p>\n<p>Although there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing&nbsp;$30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.</p>\n<p><b>Market opportunity</b></p>\n<p>In 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b48c23b32134542f51227d9b1b612887\" tg-width=\"1083\" tg-height=\"863\"><span>(Source: Wikipedia)</span></p>\n<p>China, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is&nbsp;on the cusp of entering the European market&nbsp;in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.</p>\n<p>Beijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a&nbsp;twenty percent share&nbsp;of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9871e44eaf69adb27151425887870ace\" tg-width=\"739\" tg-height=\"454\"><span>(Source:Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>Turning to growth projections.</p>\n<p>With more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61d19dff2f34e2d8828aca854e85d84a\" tg-width=\"825\" tg-height=\"565\"><span>(Source:McKinsey)</span></p>\n<p>Since China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Scale and manufacturing competence</b></p>\n<p>Ford has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.</p>\n<p>Winner here: Ford.</p>\n<p><b>Differentiation and BaaS revenue model</b></p>\n<p>Both Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.</p>\n<p>Ford is&nbsp;forming a joint venture&nbsp;with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has&nbsp;formed its own joint venture&nbsp;to secure battery supply.</p>\n<p>The difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.</p>\n<p>The BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.</p>\n<p>Ford and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.</p>\n<p>Battery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c42acb75905affe7570a2f399ea3192f\" tg-width=\"758\" tg-height=\"449\"><span>(Source: Schroders)</span></p>\n<p>The “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.</p>\n<p><b>Sales growth and valuation</b></p>\n<p>Ford’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.</p>\n<p>Ford's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df5a0a393e44ed74241c5effcdd92350\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!</p>\n<p>Due to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/817605c6b1e82c03d0473ea570d32b8f\" tg-width=\"506\" tg-height=\"406\"><span>(Source: Author)</span></p>\n<p><b>NIO has larger risks...</b></p>\n<p>NIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.</p>\n<p><b>Final verdict</b></p>\n<p>NIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.</p>\n<p>Ford’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.</p>\n<p>If you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO.

Which vehicle maker offers the best deal based on market opportunity, scale, revenue model, growth prospects and valuation? I will compare Ford against NIO in each category and issue a final verdict at the end.\nFord vs. NIO: The battle for the global electric vehicle market is heating up\nAlthough there is a world of difference between Ford and NIO, both companies are set to go toe-to-toe in the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market. Ford’s fleet is not yet EV-focused but this is going to change: Feeling that the EV race is heating up, Ford said it is accelerating its electrification plan by investing $30B into its EV manufacturing capabilities until 2025. Ford’s previous capital plan called for a $22B investment in zero-emission vehicles. Ford also set an ambitious sales goal: 40% of its global sales will be electric within the next decade and 33% of pickup truck sales. Electric vehicle sales account for just 1% of Ford's sales today. As Ford is phasing out combustion engines, it is set to evolve into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2040.\nMarket opportunity\nIn 2020, 3.2m electric vehicles were sold in the world which represented a small market share of just 4.2%. China, however, was responsible for buying 41% of all electric vehicles in the world in 2020. Chinese buyers purchased 1.3m electric vehicles last year and sales are set to grow fast as Beijing seeks to boost EV adoption. The second largest market for electric vehicles was Europe which accounted for 42% of global EV sales. The US is only the third-largest market for plug-in electric vehicles in the world.\n(Source: Wikipedia)\nChina, by far, is the fastest growing EV market in the world, although Europe is catching up fast, in part due to a legislative efforts to increase adoption of zero-emission passenger vehicles and because of massive investments in a Europe-wide charging station network. NIO is on the cusp of entering the European market in a bid to grow market share in the world’s second-largest EV market before the competition is ready.\nBeijing is a driver behind the electrification of the Chinese auto industry: The government wants to see a twenty percent share of electric vehicles for new car sales by 2025 which will drive EV penetration in NIO’s home market.\n(Source:Schroders)\nTurning to growth projections.\nWith more favorable government policies for EV makers in places like China and Europe, these markets are poised to see the fastest sales growth and the highest EV adoption rates in the world. China is not only the largest market due to population size but is also expected to outperform all other markets in the world in EV sales until 2030.\n(Source:McKinsey)\nSince China has a larger total market size, a higher EV adoption rate, stronger expected sales growth and a more favorable regulatory framework, the winner here would be: NIO.\nScale and manufacturing competence\nFord has a century’s worth of manufacturing experience. But Ford, so far, has only one all-electric vehicle in its product line-up that compares to NIO: The Mustang Mach-E SUV. In 2022, Ford will begin to sell the all-electric F-150 Lightening which builds on the success of Ford’s best-selling pick-up truck. NIO already has a stronger product catalog including the 5-seater ES6 SUV, the 5-seater coupe SUV EC6 and the ES8, a 6-seater and 7-seater full-sized SUV.\nSince NIO is solely focused on producing EVs and occupies a very small and defined niche, the Chinese firm has an advantage as far as EV-manufacturing expertise goes. The question is how long this advantage can last. Ford has extensive experience in building cars and can leverage a global manufacturing base to ramp up EV production faster than any niche EV maker could ever hope to achieve. This makes Ford a very serious rival not only to Tesla (TSLA) in the US, but also to NIO abroad. Ford is accelerating its electrification plans and it has the resources and the ambition to become a leader in EVs within the next decade. Ford’s proposed $30B spending on the electrification of its fleet will accelerate its transformation and turn Ford into a long term threat to other EV makers.\nWinner here: Ford.\nDifferentiation and BaaS revenue model\nBoth Ford and NIO know about the importance of differentiation in a market that will only get more competitive over time, which is why both companies are investing heavily in a related field that can break or solidify dominance in the EV market: Battery technology.\nFord is forming a joint venture with South Korean battery technology company SK Innovation to secure supply of traction battery cells and array modules. The joint venture is meant to accelerate battery deliveries and will produce approximately 60 GWh annually, enough to cover 25% of Ford’s estimated annual energy demand by 2030. NIO is also investing in battery technology and has formed its own joint venture to secure battery supply.\nThe difference to Ford is that NIO’s battery investment strategy revolves around a battery subscription model, also called “battery-as-a-service”, which creates a strong, long term revenue opportunity for the Chinese vehicle maker. Under this “BaaS” model, users who buy a NIO electric vehicle get a 70,000 RMB initial discount, equivalent to $10,800, and can sign up for a monthly subscription to rent a rechargeable 70 kWh battery. Batteries can then be exchanged at one of NIO’s battery-swapping stations which can be found in most big Chinese cities. A battery subscription costs 980 RMB monthly which is the equivalent of $150.\nThe BaaS model has a couple of benefits for both the vehicle maker and the user: Purchasing an electric vehicle from NIO gets a lot more affordable due to the up-front discount and the subscription model ensures that users benefit from advancement in battery technology and better performance over time. Decoupling battery costs from vehicle prices creates an entirely new revenue stream on a subscription basis for NIO. Revenues from “BaaS” subscriptions could be used to increase the density of NIO’s network of charging/replacement stations. The battery subscription model also binds customers to NIO, potentially increasing customer lifetime value.\nFord and NIO are primed to benefit from falling battery costs for electric vehicles as they ramp up capital allocations. As more investments flow into developing more efficient batteries, performance will go up and costs will go down which should drive EV adoption and benefit all EV makers. This is because lower battery prices make EVs more competitive to passenger vehicles with combustion engines. But since NIO is structuring a part of its business model explicitly around battery subscriptions, NIO could benefit more than Ford.\nBattery costs for EVs have decreased 70% since 2014, based on information provided by investment firm Schroders, and are set to decrease more this decade.\n(Source: Schroders)\nThe “BaaS” model is genius and could develop into a $500M a year revenue opportunity for NIO long term. Although Ford is ramping up its investments in battery technology, the winner in this category is: NIO.\nSales growth and valuation\nFord’s sales in May grew 4.1% Y/Y but electrified vehicle sales (including hybrids) surged 184% Y/Y as Ford sold a record 10,364 EVs/hybrids in May. Escape electrified sales and Explorer Hybrid grew sales at 125% and 132% Y/Y showing strong customer uptake. NIO delivered 6,711 vehicles last month including 3,017 ES6s, 1,412 ES8s and 2,282 EC6s. Total Y/Y delivery growth for May was 95.3%.\nFord's sales are fifty-four times larger than NIO's which creates more sales growth and revaluation potential for NIO.\nData by YCharts\nThe difference in valuation between Ford and NIO is like the difference between night and day. This is because Ford is still seen as a mature vehicle maker with expected enterprise sales growth in the low-to-mid digits, despite explosive growth in the EV category. Ford is expected to grow revenues by 33% until FY 2025 (base year: FY 2020) and NIO by 808%!\nDue to these differences in sales growth, NIO is the complete opposite of Ford, at least as far as valuation goes. The Chinese EV-maker is expected to see sales and delivery growth close to 100% this year and since NIO is only dealing in EVs, NIO gets a much higher market-cap-to-sales ratio than Ford.\n(Source: Author)\nNIO has larger risks...\nNIO is the more risky venture, but also the one that offers the most promise. Government policy favors EV-makers like NIO. The potential for total global sales growth is larger for NIO as it operates from a smaller revenue base compared to Ford. But there are also a few things that work against NIO. For example, recalls due to production defects would be a much bigger challenge for NIO to overcome than for Ford which can rely on a global service and distribution network. NIO’s valuation is also not without risk as an unexpected slowing of sales growth due to production setbacks would leave a much larger dent in the financials.\nFinal verdict\nNIO is definitely the more “sexy” vehicle maker. Strong adoption and sales growth in China and Europe support NIO. Its super smart BaaS model which decouples vehicle purchase prices from battery costs is genius. You pay a high price for this growth but the market opportunity for NIO is immense.\nFord’s EV sales are booming and the percentage of EV sales will increase as the vehicle maker electrifies its fleet. Ford has a lot of potential in the EV market but since EV sales are still a relatively low percentage of total sales, it will take a long time for Ford to complete its transformation.\nIf you believe in the potential of the global EV market, buy NIO. If you believe in the potential of the global EV market and don’t like much risk, buy Ford.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":128197692,"gmtCreate":1624504778216,"gmtModify":1634005127507,"author":{"id":"4087603212890920","authorId":"4087603212890920","name":"VTCL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087603212890920","authorIdStr":"4087603212890920"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow great!","listText":"Wow great!","text":"Wow great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/128197692","repostId":"1109439880","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109439880","pubTimestamp":1624500372,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1109439880?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-24 10:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Box CEO says KKR investment created opportunity for all shareholders","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109439880","media":"CNBC","summary":"BoxCEO Aaron Levie on Wednesday defended his company’s decision to accept a sizeable investment from","content":"<div>\n<p>BoxCEO Aaron Levie on Wednesday defended his company’s decision to accept a sizeable investment from KKR earlier this year.\n“We felt that we had a very strong long-term partner that wanted to invest ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/23/box-ceo-says-kkr-stake-benefits-both-short-and-long-term-investors.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The earnings will provide insights into the health and momentum of the economy as they provide a read on both business and consumer spending. With the economy sprinting coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, the big commercial and investment banks are expected toreport strong results.</p>\n<p>The banks are also expected to begin rewarding shareholders after the U.S. Federal Reserve recently cleared them to again payout dividends and buyback their own stock. Wall Street estimates forecast that the six biggest U.S. banks could&nbsp;return more than $140 billion&nbsp;to shareholders in coming months through dividends and share buybacks.</p>\n<p>Here are seven of the biggest American banks with earnings reports next week:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>JPMorgan Chase</b>(NYSE:<b><u>JPM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Goldman Sachs</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Bank of America</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Citigroup</b>(NYSE:<b><u>C</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Wells Fargo</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WFC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Morgan Stanley</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>U.S. Bancorp</b>(NYSE:<b><u>USB</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>JPMorgan Chase (JPM)</b></p>\n<p>First out of the gate next week is the biggest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase. The financial conglomerate led by Jamie Dimon has generated headlines for its spate of recent acquisitions. The bank has&nbsp;made 33 acquisitions&nbsp;so far this year, its biggest spending spree in several years. The deals have mostly involved small foreign money managers and digital banks in countries such as England and Brazil.</p>\n<p>JPMorgan Chase has said that it is pursuing acquisitions to contend with an ongoing low-interest-rate environment and greater competition from financial technology (fintech) companies.</p>\n<p>The deals completed in the first half of this year are on par with all the deals JPMorgan Chase completed last year. JPM stock has risen this year along with the entire bank sector. Year-to-date, JPM stock is up 22% to a July 9 open of $153.05. In the past 12 months, the stock has increased 66%. In this year’s first quarter, JPMorgan Chase’s earnings increased 477% to $4.50 per share diluted and beat analyst estimates of $3.06 a share. Earnings were given a significant boost by $5.2 billion of net reserves that the bank had built up in 2020 during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>For the&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;to be released on July 13, analysts are forecasting revenue of $30 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $3.03.</p>\n<p><b>Goldman Sachs (GS)</b></p>\n<p>Leading investment bank Goldman Sachs also reports&nbsp;second-quarter results&nbsp;on July 13, and expectations are high for blockbuster earnings. The venerable Wall Street firm set the bar high earlier this year when it reported record first quarter results that blew away expectations. Fueled by a record amount of investment banking activity, Goldman Sachs reported first quarter revenues of $17.7 billion, way ahead of the $12.6 billion forecast by analysts. EPS for the bank came in at $18.60, destroying the $10.22 estimated by analysts and 498% higher than in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p>Can Goldman do it again with its second-quarter results? The&nbsp;consensus among analysts&nbsp;is for the investment bank to report second-quarter EPS of $9.52 a share, for year-over-year growth of 52%.

The earnings will provide insights into the health and momentum of the economy as they provide a read on both business and consumer spending. With the economy sprinting coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, the big commercial and investment banks are expected toreport strong results.\nThe banks are also expected to begin rewarding shareholders after the U.S. Federal Reserve recently cleared them to again payout dividends and buyback their own stock. Wall Street estimates forecast that the six biggest U.S. banks could return more than $140 billion to shareholders in coming months through dividends and share buybacks.\nHere are seven of the biggest American banks with earnings reports next week:\n\nJPMorgan Chase(NYSE:JPM)\nGoldman Sachs(NYSE:GS)\nBank of America(NYSE:BAC)\nCitigroup(NYSE:C)\nWells Fargo(NYSE:WFC)\nMorgan Stanley(NYSE:MS)\nU.S. Bancorp(NYSE:USB)\n\nJPMorgan Chase (JPM)\nFirst out of the gate next week is the biggest U.S. bank, JPMorgan Chase. The financial conglomerate led by Jamie Dimon has generated headlines for its spate of recent acquisitions. The bank has made 33 acquisitions so far this year, its biggest spending spree in several years. The deals have mostly involved small foreign money managers and digital banks in countries such as England and Brazil.\nJPMorgan Chase has said that it is pursuing acquisitions to contend with an ongoing low-interest-rate environment and greater competition from financial technology (fintech) companies.\nThe deals completed in the first half of this year are on par with all the deals JPMorgan Chase completed last year. JPM stock has risen this year along with the entire bank sector. Year-to-date, JPM stock is up 22% to a July 9 open of $153.05. In the past 12 months, the stock has increased 66%. In this year’s first quarter, JPMorgan Chase’s earnings increased 477% to $4.50 per share diluted and beat analyst estimates of $3.06 a share. Earnings were given a significant boost by $5.2 billion of net reserves that the bank had built up in 2020 during the pandemic.\nFor the second-quarter results to be released on July 13, analysts are forecasting revenue of $30 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $3.03.\nGoldman Sachs (GS)\nLeading investment bank Goldman Sachs also reports second-quarter results on July 13, and expectations are high for blockbuster earnings. The venerable Wall Street firm set the bar high earlier this year when it reported record first quarter results that blew away expectations. Fueled by a record amount of investment banking activity, Goldman Sachs reported first quarter revenues of $17.7 billion, way ahead of the $12.6 billion forecast by analysts. EPS for the bank came in at $18.60, destroying the $10.22 estimated by analysts and 498% higher than in the first quarter of 2020.\nCan Goldman do it again with its second-quarter results? The consensus among analysts is for the investment bank to report second-quarter EPS of $9.52 a share, for year-over-year growth of 52%. Should Goldman Sachs beat expectations by a wide margin, it will likely propel the company’s share price to new heights. In this year’s first half, GS stock rose 40% to its July 9 opening price of $366. In the past year, the stock has gained 77%.\nDespite the big run in the bank’s share price, analysts see further gains in store. The median price target on GS stock is $415, implying another 13% gain in coming months.\nBank of America (BAC)\nThe second-largest U.S. bank by assets, Bank of America, reports its latest quarterly numbers on July 14. And the lender has been signaling that Wall Street should expect solid second-quarter results. Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan has been saying publicly that Bank of America is emerging from the pandemic a stronger and more competitive financial institution, helped by higher capital ratios and higher reserves. In the first quarter, the bank reported record levels of deposits, investment flows and investment banking revenues.\nBank of America attracted the attention of investors when it announced on June 28 that it will increase its common stock dividend by 17% to 21 cents per share for the third quarter of this year.

And the latest results come at a time when C stock has been struggling and, at its July 9 level of $66.73 a share, is starting to look a little undervalued compared to its peers.\nCitigroup’s share price is up 11% year-to-date and has risen 34% over the last 52 weeks.

The banking giant believes that supply and demand imbalances in the oil market will push crude prices up to $100 a barrel by next year. The bank isn't alone -- big oil executives also believe oil prices could top $100 a barrel as the global economy roars back to life amid tightening supplies.</p>\n<p>That scenario would undoubtedly be a boon for oil stocks. With that in mind, we asked some of our energy contributors what oil stocks they believe are the most compelling buys as oil prices head toward triple digits. Here's why they think <b>Occidental Petroleum</b> (NYSE:OXY), <b>Marathon Oil</b> (NYSE:MRO), and&nbsp;<b>Devon Energy</b> (NYSE:DVN) have some of the best upside potential to triple digit oil.</p>\n<h2>A double boost</h2>\n<p><b>Reuben Gregg Brewer (Occidental Petroleum):</b> I wouldn't call Occidental Petroleum a buy and hold type of energy stock, given the self-inflicted wounds it suffered during the 2020 oil downturn.

There's two reasons for this. First, as an oil driller Occidental Petroleum will clearly benefit from a big rise in this key commodity. But the bigger reason is that such an increase will make it easier for management to deal with the lingering impacts of the Anadarko deal, notably its still heavily leveraged balance sheet.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2d3bf87a2a04b5d483b03e7e6d3edabf\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"435\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>OXY Debt to Equity Ratio data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>So, there's the direct top- and bottom-line benefit here (which all energy companies will likely see) and the follow-on effect of an improving financial structure.

The Anadarko misstep should probably keep conservative investors away, but more aggressive types might view Occidental, warts and all, as something of a leveraged bet.</p>\n<h2>Minting billions of dollars</h2>\n<p><b>Neha Chamaria</b> <b>(Marathon Oil):</b> Commodity prices don't just drive Marathon Oil's revenue and cash flows, but they're also the single biggest deciding factor behind the company's capital spending and capital allocation plans, which is why the ongoing rally in crude prices is great news for Marathon Oil. Importantly, crude is hitting two-year highs even as I write this, but Marathon Oil stock is still trading below its 2019 level.</p>\n<p>Consider this: Marathon expects to generate free cash flow (FCF) worth $1.1 billion this year at an average WTI crude price of $50 per barrel. At $60 a barrel, the company could generate as much as $1.6 billion in FCF! With crude having already surpassed $70 per barrel as of this writing, Marathon should therefore be able to generate even higher cash flows and use the extra cash to pay down more debt and reward shareholders with bigger returns. As of the end of the first quarter, Marathon had already repaid $500 million in debt and was targeting another $500 million debt reduction this year. It also raised its quarterly dividend by 33% in Q1.</p>\n<p>A higher oil-price environment, in fact, should set Marathon up for solid growth for years to come, considering it could generate FCF worth nearly $5 billion over the next five years at an average crude price of only $50 per barrel. And it isn't just oil prices. While flexing production as per market conditions, the company is also tightening its grip on costs, and aims to cut its production and general and administration expenses combined by nearly 30% this year versus 2019 levels. With management prioritizing the dividend and debt reduction, Marathon shareholders have a lot to look forward to as long as oil keeps rising.</p>\n<h2>A monster dividend stock as oil prices keep rising</h2>\n<p><b>Matt DiLallo&nbsp;(Devon Energy):&nbsp;</b>Investors in Devon Energy reap immediate dividends as oil prices rise thanks to its unique variable dividend framework. The oil and gas producer plans to pay out up to half of the excess cash it generates each quarter to investors via a variable dividend. As oil prices rise, so does that payout.</p>\n<p>The company paid its first variable dividend this past March based on its fourth-quarter cash flow. It distributed 50% of its excess cash, which worked out to $0.19 per share. That was almost double its fixed quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share. The company will make its next variable payout at the end of this month. While it's only paying out 48% of its excess cash this quarter, at $0.23 per share, it's 13% above the previous quarter's rate and more than double its base quarterly rate. Driving that increase was the improvement in oil prices from an average of $42.65 a barrel in the fourth quarter to $57.87 in the first quarter.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>With oil prices continuing to rise -- they're close to $75 a barrel right now -- Devon's variable dividend payments should grow even bigger. If oil does indeed hit triple digits again, Devon could pay a monster variable dividend. That potential windfall of cash payments makes Devon an oil stock that investors won't want to miss as oil prices race toward $100.</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 Oil Stocks to Buy as Crude Prices Barrel Toward $100</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 Oil Stocks to Buy as Crude Prices Barrel Toward $100\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-28 10:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/27/3-oil-stocks-to-buy-as-crude-prices-barrel-toward/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Bank of America recently made a bold prediction.
