Also helping to lift the two indexes was PayPal Inc, which gained 2.70% after the payments company scrapped plans to buy the digital pinboard site Pinterest Inc for as much as $45 billion. Shares of Pinterest slumped 12.71%.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 64.13 points, or 0.18%, to 35,741.15, the S&P 500 gained 21.58 points, or 0.47%, to 4,566.48 and the Nasdaq Composite added 136.51 points, or 0.9%, to 15,226.71.\nU.S. President Joe Biden on Monday held out hope for an agreement on his major spending plans before attending a climate summit in Scotland, while the White House said Democratic negotiators were closing in on a deal.\nThe majority of the 11 major S&P sectors advanced, with energy and consumer discretionary shares the best performing, as energy names received a boost from another rise in oil prices to multiyear highs on tight supply.\nShares of Facebook Inc were up 1.26% ahead of its quarterly results. Investor fears that like Snap Inc, the social media giant’s ad revenue could face the brunt of Apple Inc’s privacy changes appeared warranted as the social media company warned the rules would weigh on its digital business in the fourth quarter when it reported results after the closing bell. Its shares rose more than 1% in extended trade in choppy trading.\nOther mega-cap names scheduled to report this week include Apple, Microsoft Corp and Google parent Alphabet Inc.\nThis week, 165 components of the S&P 500 are expected to post quarterly results, according to Refinitiv data. Analysts expect earnings at S&P 500 companies to grow 34.8% year-on-year for the third quarter.\nInvestors are also assessing how companies are navigating supply-chain bottlenecks, labor shortages and inflationary pressures to sustain growth. Of the 119 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings through Monday morning, 83.2% have topped analysts’ expectations.\n“We are obviously in the heart of earnings season here, and that is a lot of what is going on and earnings are coming in better than expected and there was real fear we would see some bad earnings reports because of supply-chain issues and reduced outlooks, again because of supply-chain issues. So far, so good,” said Ghriskey.\nShares of Kimberley-Clark declined 2.20% after the Huggies diaper maker cut its 2021 profit outlook due to higher input cost inflation.\nAdvancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.91-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.76-to-1 ratio favored advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted 78 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 161 new highs and 87 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 10.89 billion shares, compared with the 10.41 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":277,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":856030188,"gmtCreate":1635128029149,"gmtModify":1635128029419,"author":{"id":"4090224668853230","authorId":"4090224668853230","name":"Laulau","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c71a1a61f1c30d965eb400d29b5e0faa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/856030188","repostId":"2178808449","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2178808449","pubTimestamp":1635115262,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2178808449?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-25 06:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Big Tech companies report earnings: What to know this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2178808449","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Investors' focus this week will be on earnings results, with some of the most heavily weighted compa","content":"<p>Investors' focus this week will be on earnings results, with some of the most heavily weighted companies in the S&amp;P 500 poised to deliver their quarterly reports.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca1969b994c415ca75fa816ed5d1daa\" tg-width=\"1878\" tg-height=\"2014\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Over the past couple of weeks, most of the companies that posted earnings results topped Wall Street's estimates, despite widespread concerns over the impact of supply chain challenges to corporate profits. These better-than-feared results helped power both the S&amp;P 500 and Dow to fresh record highs in the past week.</p>\n<p>As of Friday, about 23% of S&amp;P 500 companies had reported actual results for the third quarter. Of these, 84% topped Wall Street's expectations for earnings per share (EPS), according to data from FactSet. And the estimated earnings growth rate for the S&amp;P 500 stood at 32.7%, based on actual results and expectations for companies still yet to report. If maintained through the end of third-quarter earnings season, that would mark the third-highest earnings growth rate posted for the index since 2010.</p>\n<p>Given the string of stronger-than-expected results posted so far, this week's docket of reports has a heightened bar to clear.</p>\n<p>And that's especially set to be the case for the Big Tech companies, including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Most of these far outperformed the market last year, but have seen their stock gains cool so far in 2021 amid concerns over rising interest rates, chip shortages, and slowing growth after a surge in online media usage and demand for software during the height of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Despite the near-term challenges, however, some strategists have struck an upbeat tone on the technology sector as a whole.</p>\n<p>\"While the chip shortage will be a major conversation piece for tech investors during tech earnings season and clearly be an overhang, we believe the Street will instead look through any near-term disruption and focus on the underlying healthy demand drivers into 2022 which look robust,\" said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note last week.</p>\n<p>A number of the closely watched technology companies that reported last week posted results that disappointed investors or highlighted the lingering impact of these myriad concerns. Snap (SNAP), the parent company of the disappearing photo-sharing platform app Snapchat, offered a current-quarter forecast that fell short of expectations, with supply chain challenges for its advertiser customer base and privacy-related changes to Apple's iOS operating system weighing on sales and profits.</p>\n<p>The weak guidance sent Snap's stock down by 27% on Friday for its biggest single-day drop on record, and dragged down shares of other ad-driven companies including Facebook, Pinterest (PINS), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> (TWTR) and Alphabet.</p>\n<p>In July, Facebook had already flagged an early impact from Apple's iOS privacy update, which allows users to better control how apps track them. Facebook Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said during the company's second-quarter earnings call that the company expected \"increased ad targeting headwinds in 2021 from regulatory and platform changes, notably the recent iOS updates\" and expected these \"to have a more significant impact in the third quarter compared to the second.\"</p>\n<p>Still, the social media juggernaut's top-line growth is expected to climb by another 37% in the third quarter of last year to reach a fresh quarterly record of $29.45 billion. Still, this pace of growth would mark a step down from the second quarter's 56% year-on-year growth rate.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8eabca01b374d68a08a259419cd3c55\" tg-width=\"5327\" tg-height=\"3596\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>An illustration picture taken in London on December 18, 2020 shows the logos of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft displayed on a mobile phone and a laptop screen. - (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP) (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images)JUSTIN TALLIS via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>For peer ad-driven company Alphabet, a pickup in travel among consumers may help fuel the company's core Google Search business even in the face of other ad-industry headwinds. Both Snap and American Express (AXP) last week highlighted a pickup they were witnessing in consumer travel behavior and out-of-the-home spending in their third-quarter earnings releases and calls.</p>\n<p>\"Lost in the noise, SNAP also highlighted opportunity driven by travel budgets returning, which is a positive read through to GOOGL’s general search business,\" Daniel Salmon, BMO Capital Markets internet and media analyst, wrote in a note on Friday.</p>\n<p>Ongoing semiconductor shortages and supply-related issues also dealt a blow to other tech companies. Tesla (TSLA) said in its earnings report last week that, \"A variety of challenges, including semiconductor shortages, congestion at ports and rolling blackouts, have been impacting our ability to keep factories running at full speed.\"</p>\n<p>And reports earlier this month from Bloomberg suggested Apple was likely to cut its iPhone 13 production targets by as many as 10 million units amid chip shortages. The company, however, is still expected to post still-solid revenue growth of 21%, bringing sales to $84.67 billion as consumer demand for the latest smartphones remained resilient, especially in the U.S. and China.</p>\n<p>Rounding out this tech-heavy earnings week will be Amazon (AMZN), which posts quarterly results alongside Apple on Thursday after market close. The company has lagged the market since last reporting earnings in late July, falling 7.3% since July 29 versus a 2.9% gain in the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<p>Investors have been especially cautious on Amazon given widespread supply chain constraints, rising labor costs and fears that e-commerce sales and Amazon Web Services growth could slow after a pandemic-induced surge. Amazon shares had climbed by 76% in 2020, and the stock was the second-best FAANG performer after Apple that year.</p>\n<p>\"Concerns across top line, bottom line, and broader macro have collectively driven cautious sentiment into year-end,\" wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth in a note last Thursday. \"However, we believe there is still significant secular shift toward e-commerce ahead and Amazon has a very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities.\"</p>\n<p>\"Macro issues related to supply chain, port congestion, and inventory are well-documented and have intensified into the holiday season, driving concerns that delays could impact timing of AMZN receiving 1P/3P [first-party and third-party seller] inventory and certain items could remain out-of-stock,\" he added. \"Overall, we believe AMZN embedded some degree of disruption into the 3Q guide and we believe AMZN scaled inventory in anticipation of greater 2H demand.\"</p>\n<p>In late July, Amazon said it expected third-quarter net sales to total $106 billion to $112 billion, missing consensus expectations at the time. Wall Street analysts now expected to see Amazon post third-quarter sales of $111.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 16%, or its slowest since early 2015.</p>\n<h2>Economic calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Chicago Fed National Activity Index, September (0.2 expected, 0.29 in August); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (6.2 expected, 4.6 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, August (1.5% expected, 1.4% in July); S&amp;P <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CLGX\">CoreLogic</a> Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, month-over-month, August (1.44% expected, 1.55% in July); S&amp;P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, year-over-year, August (20.00% expected, 19.95% in July); New Home Sales, month-over-month, September (756,000 expected, 740,000 in August); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, October (108.5 expected, 109.2 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Wednesday: </b>MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Oct. 22 (-6.3% during prior week); Advance Goods Trade Balance, September (-$88.3 billion expected, -$87.6 billion in August); Wholesale Inventories, month-over-month, September preliminary (1.0% expected, 1.2% in August); Durable Goods Orders, September preliminary (-1.0% expected, 1.8% in August); Durable Goods Orders, excluding transportation, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.3% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.6% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.8% in August)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Thursday: </b>Initial jobless claims, week ended Oct. 23 (292,000 expected, 290,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Oct. 16 (2.420 million expected, 2.481 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate annualized (2.7% expected, 6.7% in Q2); Personal consumption, Q3 first estimate (0.7% expected, 12.0% in Q2); Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate (4.4% expected, 6.1% in Q2); Pending home sales, September (0.6% expected, 8.1% in August); Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (19 expected, 22 in September)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Friday: </b>Personal income, September (-0.2% expected, 0.2% in August); Personal spending, September (0.6% expected, 0.8% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures Core Deflator, month-over-moth, September (0.2% expected, 0.3% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Deflator, year-over-year, September (3.7% expected, 3.6% in August): MNI Chicago PMI, October (64.0 expected, 64.7 in September); University of Michigan Sentiment, October final (71.4 expected, 71.4 in September)</p></li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Earnings calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Kimberly-Clark Corp.

These better-than-feared results helped power both the S&P 500 and Dow to fresh record highs in the past week.\nAs of Friday, about 23% of S&P 500 companies had reported actual results for the third quarter. Of these, 84% topped Wall Street's expectations for earnings per share (EPS), according to data from FactSet. And the estimated earnings growth rate for the S&P 500 stood at 32.7%, based on actual results and expectations for companies still yet to report. If maintained through the end of third-quarter earnings season, that would mark the third-highest earnings growth rate posted for the index since 2010.\nGiven the string of stronger-than-expected results posted so far, this week's docket of reports has a heightened bar to clear.\nAnd that's especially set to be the case for the Big Tech companies, including Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Most of these far outperformed the market last year, but have seen their stock gains cool so far in 2021 amid concerns over rising interest rates, chip shortages, and slowing growth after a surge in online media usage and demand for software during the height of the pandemic.\nDespite the near-term challenges, however, some strategists have struck an upbeat tone on the technology sector as a whole.\n\"While the chip shortage will be a major conversation piece for tech investors during tech earnings season and clearly be an overhang, we believe the Street will instead look through any near-term disruption and focus on the underlying healthy demand drivers into 2022 which look robust,\" said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note last week.\nA number of the closely watched technology companies that reported last week posted results that disappointed investors or highlighted the lingering impact of these myriad concerns.

Facebook Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said during the company's second-quarter earnings call that the company expected \"increased ad targeting headwinds in 2021 from regulatory and platform changes, notably the recent iOS updates\" and expected these \"to have a more significant impact in the third quarter compared to the second.\"\nStill, the social media juggernaut's top-line growth is expected to climb by another 37% in the third quarter of last year to reach a fresh quarterly record of $29.45 billion. Still, this pace of growth would mark a step down from the second quarter's 56% year-on-year growth rate.\nAn illustration picture taken in London on December 18, 2020 shows the logos of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft displayed on a mobile phone and a laptop screen. - (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP) (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images)JUSTIN TALLIS via Getty Images\nFor peer ad-driven company Alphabet, a pickup in travel among consumers may help fuel the company's core Google Search business even in the face of other ad-industry headwinds.

Tesla (TSLA) said in its earnings report last week that, \"A variety of challenges, including semiconductor shortages, congestion at ports and rolling blackouts, have been impacting our ability to keep factories running at full speed.\"\nAnd reports earlier this month from Bloomberg suggested Apple was likely to cut its iPhone 13 production targets by as many as 10 million units amid chip shortages. The company, however, is still expected to post still-solid revenue growth of 21%, bringing sales to $84.67 billion as consumer demand for the latest smartphones remained resilient, especially in the U.S. and China.\nRounding out this tech-heavy earnings week will be Amazon (AMZN), which posts quarterly results alongside Apple on Thursday after market close. The company has lagged the market since last reporting earnings in late July, falling 7.3% since July 29 versus a 2.9% gain in the S&P 500.\nInvestors have been especially cautious on Amazon given widespread supply chain constraints, rising labor costs and fears that e-commerce sales and Amazon Web Services growth could slow after a pandemic-induced surge. Amazon shares had climbed by 76% in 2020, and the stock was the second-best FAANG performer after Apple that year.\n\"Concerns across top line, bottom line, and broader macro have collectively driven cautious sentiment into year-end,\" wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth in a note last Thursday. \"However, we believe there is still significant secular shift toward e-commerce ahead and Amazon has a very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities.\"\n\"Macro issues related to supply chain, port congestion, and inventory are well-documented and have intensified into the holiday season, driving concerns that delays could impact timing of AMZN receiving 1P/3P [first-party and third-party seller] inventory and certain items could remain out-of-stock,\" he added. \"Overall, we believe AMZN embedded some degree of disruption into the 3Q guide and we believe AMZN scaled inventory in anticipation of greater 2H demand.\"\nIn late July, Amazon said it expected third-quarter net sales to total $106 billion to $112 billion, missing consensus expectations at the time. Wall Street analysts now expected to see Amazon post third-quarter sales of $111.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 16%, or its slowest since early 2015.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Chicago Fed National Activity Index, September (0.2 expected, 0.29 in August); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (6.2 expected, 4.6 in September)\nTuesday: FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, August (1.5% expected, 1.4% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, month-over-month, August (1.44% expected, 1.55% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, year-over-year, August (20.00% expected, 19.95% in July); New Home Sales, month-over-month, September (756,000 expected, 740,000 in August); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, October (108.5 expected, 109.2 in September)\nWednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Oct. 22 (-6.3% during prior week); Advance Goods Trade Balance, September (-$88.3 billion expected, -$87.6 billion in August); Wholesale Inventories, month-over-month, September preliminary (1.0% expected, 1.2% in August); Durable Goods Orders, September preliminary (-1.0% expected, 1.8% in August); Durable Goods Orders, excluding transportation, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.3% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.6% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.8% in August)\nThursday: Initial jobless claims, week ended Oct. 23 (292,000 expected, 290,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Oct. 16 (2.420 million expected, 2.481 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate annualized (2.7% expected, 6.7% in Q2); Personal consumption, Q3 first estimate (0.7% expected, 12.0% in Q2); Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate (4.4% expected, 6.1% in Q2); Pending home sales, September (0.6% expected, 8.1% in August); Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (19 expected, 22 in September)\nFriday: Personal income, September (-0.2% expected, 0.2% in August); Personal spending, September (0.6% expected, 0.8% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures Core Deflator, month-over-moth, September (0.2% expected, 0.3% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Deflator, year-over-year, September (3.7% expected, 3.6% in August): MNI Chicago PMI, October (64.0 expected, 64.7 in September); University of Michigan Sentiment, October final (71.4 expected, 71.4 in September)\n\nEarnings calendar\n\nMonday: Kimberly-Clark Corp.

While the price of Bitcoin averaged around $42k in the quarter, the current market price of $60k implies a quarterly revenue run rate of $75 million that is expected to accelerate going forward as the company continues to expand its capacity. Marathon now holds 7,035 Bitcoin on its balance sheet with a value of over $422 million in addition to a separate cash position of $33 million.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d6280bcec6f8519e422b36b50f1ad702\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"292\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>source: company IR</span></p>\n<p>From a reported 29,960 mining machines at the end of September and 2.7 EH/s in hash rate, the plan is to deploy a total of 133,000 miners by mid-2022 meaning the company's mining capacity will be 5x larger than its current level. Management noted some recent logistical issues have impacted shipping times to the company's facility in Hardin, Montana but reaffirmed its schedule of installations through next year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3dda9d658a8671363d36682b39de88f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>source: company IR</span></p>\n<p>Assuming the entire fleet of miners was fully deployed right now, it is estimated Marathon would control around 8.4% of the global Bitcoin network based on the current network difficulty of around 158 EH/s compared to the current 2% as per the chart above. At 8.4%, Marathon could theoretically be mining close to 2,275 Bitcoins per month representing a market value of $137 million or $1.6 billion as an annualized run rate. These are the types of figures that help justify the company's current market cap near $5 billion.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f1a148065410a5daa0467a904f95e710\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>source: company IR</span></p>\n<p>According to consensus estimates, the market is forecasting MARA 2021 revenue to reach $225 million along with positive EPS of $0.94 this year. Again, the real optimism is for next year as capacity and production ramps ups through the second half of 2022 with an estimate for revenue to approach $790 million and EPS of $4.16. Even considering the breathtaking rally in shares of MARA this year, we believe the current valuation metrics including a 1-year forward price to sales multiple of 6.2x and 12x P/E ratio on the 2022 consensus EPS are attractive. The reality is that there are few stocks in any sector generating this type of growth with a bullish outlook for Bitcoin.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e6ee8bb568d2b57f5f9bee2201acb45\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p><b>Bullish on Bitcoin</b></p>\n<p>Compared to the \"crypto winter\" during the summer months when the price of Bitcoin briefly traded under $30k in what was a painful 50% correction, the sentiment has decisively turned positive. Our sense is that many of the long-term drivers for Bitcoin including the growing recognition at the institutional level of cryptocurrencies as an alternative asset class along with ongoing adoption for payments continue to represent fundamental tailwinds that can drive the price of Bitcoin higher.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b24b52a2b30b155f858d4c78704db52c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>source: company IR</span></p>\n<p>From a technical standpoint, the selloff likely helped to consolidate the multi-year gains in Bitcoin following a particularly strong 2020 which now establishes a stronger base of support for the next leg higher. While Bitcoin is still a few percentage points below its April all-time high of $65k, there are some good reasons to believe a breakout is on tap.</p>\n<p>First, reports are that a&nbsp;Bitcoin ETF&nbsp;linked to traded Bitcoin futures is set to begin trading this week through the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF(NYSEARCA:BITO). The expectation is for many other Bitcoin exchange-traded products to be approved still this year which can be interpreted as an apparent stamp of approval by regulators that cryptocurrencies are here to stay. The potential that the new instruments funnel more capital into the space can directly drive the price of Bitcoin further.</p>\n<p>We have a year-ahead price target of $100,000 for Bitcoin (BTC-USD) which is about 60% higher than the current level. Our base case is that even with some expected volatility and pullbacks on profit-taking, the trend higher can be accelerated through Q4 with a repeat of the action from 2020. While the run in Bitcoin likely had some doubters in Q1 this year, its ability to brush aside the headwinds between concerns over environmental impacts and global regulation only helps reinforce the long-term outlook.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4fba484e07c8f9f005525cba220d0c34\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"267\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>finviz.com</span></p>\n<p>The fund manager ARK Invest has published research suggesting a growing allocation by institutional investors towards Bitcoin could impact the price between $200,000 and $500,000 long term. The group believes just a 1% allocation towards Bitcoin by all groups of institutional investors would incrementally add $100,000 to the price of Bitcoin. We expect the wider availability of Bitcoin and crypto investment products to gradually become a staple of diversified portfolios for all investors. In the near term, in our view, the $100k price level will eventually act as a magnet for traders to target through momentum based on the psychological importance of the round number.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a9f6776e72cad8d908f9b9c270810e92\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"338\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>source: Ark Invest</span></p>\n<p><b>MARA Stock Forecast</b></p>\n<p>As it relates to MARA, the higher the price of Bitcoin directly translates into higher revenue and earnings potential. We expect Bitcoin miners to outperform the crypto price to the upside based on the concept of operating leverage. Simply put, higher revenues can correspond to an even higher impact to operating income and earnings. Marathon's advantage is both its current scale with a leg up on other miners attempting to secure production capacity through next year. The company's low cost of electricity with an estimated production cost of $5,612 per Bitcoin highlights the profitability potential. MARA's efforts at sustainability with a plan to be 100% carbon neutral by the end of 2022 is a benchmark for the entire industry.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16f2a439d461073969566bfb6372e5a1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"338\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>source: company IR</span></p>\n<p>To forecast how many Bitcoins and revenue MARA will be generating by this time next year, we need to consider not only the price of Bitcoin but also the Bitcoin network difficulty. It's understood that as more mining machines go online, the network hash rate will climb and thereby dilute each existing miners' share of the Bitcoin mining potential. Over the course of a year, 52,560 Bitcoin blocks are awarded by the network with each block representing 6.25 BTC. The 328,500 newly minted Bitcoin mined over the course of a year is the market potential MARA is attempting to capture.</p>\n<p>We mentioned the company's guidance for 13.3 EH/s represents about 8.4% of the current global hash rate. In reality, by the time the full fleet of mining machines is deployed, it's likely the network difficulty will be above 200 EH/s meaning the 8.4% share will be reduced down towards 6.7% or lower. There is a great deal of uncertainty as to how this rate will progress although the general consensus is that the network difficultly will trend higher. From the chart below, we can observe a large drop in the global hash rate in mid-2021 which coincided with Chinese miners going offline as mining was banned in the country. The other dynamic at play is that some of the oldest mining machines online currently go past their lifecycle and need to be replaced generating a regular turnover.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/22dda2e73253a8137117a0f57124b926\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>We are extrapolating how much Marathon's revenue run rate could be by the second half of next year when it fully deploys all announced mining machine purchases. For example, with a hash rate capacity of 13.3 EH/s by mid-2022, assuming a network difficultly level of 215 EH/s at that point, MARA would control 6.2% of the global hash rate and be able to mine approximately 1,693 Bitcoins in a single month. At the current market price of $60k, the monthly revenue would approach $102 million which is annualized to $1.219 billion. By this measure, we can state that shares of MARA are trading at a forward price to sales multiple of 4.3x based on its expected annualized revenue run rate by next year against the current market cap for the stock at $5.2 billion.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a9a91df4ee0c4ed3b80e6e4733b6247d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"414\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>source: author estimates</span></p>\n<p>In our view, MARA is undervalued at its current level in the context of the Bitcoin pricing environment and growth outlook. A forward P/S multiple closer to 5x would better reflect an appropriate growth premium and the company's positive outlook in our opinion. By this measure, at a constant BTC price of $60k and an outlook for the hash rate to trend towards 215 EH/s, we believe MARA should be valued closer to $61.50 as a near-term price target.</p>\n<p>Going a step further, with an outlook for Bitcoin to potentially reach $100k by next year, we see shares of MARA trending towards $100. From the table above, the Bitcoin market price of $100k at a 215 EH/s hash rate for next year implies MARA is currently trading at a forward P/S of 2.6x. The stock would need to climb at least 92% from the current level to maintain the valuation parity of 5x based on our model.</p>\n<p><b>The Big Picture</b></p>\n<p>The Bitcoin mining industry continues to mature with more and more investors beginning to recognize the intrinsic value the leading stocks are generating. Marathon Digital as a U.S.-based leader remains one of the most exciting companies in the segment in the middle of a transformative year. We are encouraged by the recent operating and financial results and expect the company to continue executing successfully. We rate shares of MARA as a buy with a bullish price target of $100 per share in a scenario where Bitcoin trends towards $100k.</p>\n<p>Longer-term, the company's scale and growing balance sheet Bitcoin position will offer it more flexibility to expand into related crypto services while adding to its mining capacity. For the upcoming quarters, the Q3 earnings report will provide an opportunity to take a look at the cost structure as production accelerates. Monitoring points include the monthly updates while it will be important for the company to remain on schedule with the mining machines deliveries and deployments.</p>\n<p>It goes without saying that the main risk here continues to be the price of Bitcoin. While we are bullish, shares are of MARA will be highly sensitive to the cryptocurrency market price. A selloff in BTC under $50k would likely drive some renewed bearish sentiment and higher volatility. The regulatory landscape also remains uncertain. Efforts by some U.S. states to limit Bitcoin mining along with environmental impact concerns can generate headlines that pressure the segment lower. For 2022, we believe the market will begin to look more closely at earnings and cash flows beyond the high-level themes and momentum.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Marathon Digital Stock: More Upside With A Breakout In Bitcoin</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\">\nMarathon Digital Stock: More Upside With A Breakout In Bitcoin\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-21 15:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460632-marathon-digital-more-upside-with-breakout-in-bitcoin><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nMarathon Digital Holdings is benefiting from the strong momentum in bitcoin approaching an all-time high.\nThe company has reported strong bitcoin mining production growth which is expected to...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460632-marathon-digital-more-upside-with-breakout-in-bitcoin\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3cdd0b2f46028be0fdb985c3d97141c","relate_stocks":{"MARA":"Marathon Digital Holdings Inc"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460632-marathon-digital-more-upside-with-breakout-in-bitcoin","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1114856613","content_text":"Summary\n\nMarathon Digital Holdings is benefiting from the strong momentum in bitcoin approaching an all-time high.\nThe company has reported strong bitcoin mining production growth which is expected to accelerate as it increases capacity.\nWe are bullish on the stock which we believe can continue to outperform the price of bitcoin.\n\n24K-Production/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nMarathon Digital Holdings Inc(NASDAQ:MARA) has achieved juggernaut status as the leading Bitcoin mining stock benefiting from the ongoing crypto bull market.

While the price of Bitcoin averaged around $42k in the quarter, the current market price of $60k implies a quarterly revenue run rate of $75 million that is expected to accelerate going forward as the company continues to expand its capacity. Marathon now holds 7,035 Bitcoin on its balance sheet with a value of over $422 million in addition to a separate cash position of $33 million.\nsource: company IR\nFrom a reported 29,960 mining machines at the end of September and 2.7 EH/s in hash rate, the plan is to deploy a total of 133,000 miners by mid-2022 meaning the company's mining capacity will be 5x larger than its current level. Management noted some recent logistical issues have impacted shipping times to the company's facility in Hardin, Montana but reaffirmed its schedule of installations through next year.\nsource: company IR\nAssuming the entire fleet of miners was fully deployed right now, it is estimated Marathon would control around 8.4% of the global Bitcoin network based on the current network difficulty of around 158 EH/s compared to the current 2% as per the chart above. At 8.4%, Marathon could theoretically be mining close to 2,275 Bitcoins per month representing a market value of $137 million or $1.6 billion as an annualized run rate. These are the types of figures that help justify the company's current market cap near $5 billion.\nsource: company IR\nAccording to consensus estimates, the market is forecasting MARA 2021 revenue to reach $225 million along with positive EPS of $0.94 this year. Again, the real optimism is for next year as capacity and production ramps ups through the second half of 2022 with an estimate for revenue to approach $790 million and EPS of $4.16. Even considering the breathtaking rally in shares of MARA this year, we believe the current valuation metrics including a 1-year forward price to sales multiple of 6.2x and 12x P/E ratio on the 2022 consensus EPS are attractive. The reality is that there are few stocks in any sector generating this type of growth with a bullish outlook for Bitcoin.\nSeeking Alpha\nBullish on Bitcoin\nCompared to the \"crypto winter\" during the summer months when the price of Bitcoin briefly traded under $30k in what was a painful 50% correction, the sentiment has decisively turned positive. Our sense is that many of the long-term drivers for Bitcoin including the growing recognition at the institutional level of cryptocurrencies as an alternative asset class along with ongoing adoption for payments continue to represent fundamental tailwinds that can drive the price of Bitcoin higher.\nsource: company IR\nFrom a technical standpoint, the selloff likely helped to consolidate the multi-year gains in Bitcoin following a particularly strong 2020 which now establishes a stronger base of support for the next leg higher. While Bitcoin is still a few percentage points below its April all-time high of $65k, there are some good reasons to believe a breakout is on tap.\nFirst, reports are that a Bitcoin ETF linked to traded Bitcoin futures is set to begin trading this week through the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF(NYSEARCA:BITO). The expectation is for many other Bitcoin exchange-traded products to be approved still this year which can be interpreted as an apparent stamp of approval by regulators that cryptocurrencies are here to stay. The potential that the new instruments funnel more capital into the space can directly drive the price of Bitcoin further.\nWe have a year-ahead price target of $100,000 for Bitcoin (BTC-USD) which is about 60% higher than the current level. Our base case is that even with some expected volatility and pullbacks on profit-taking, the trend higher can be accelerated through Q4 with a repeat of the action from 2020. While the run in Bitcoin likely had some doubters in Q1 this year, its ability to brush aside the headwinds between concerns over environmental impacts and global regulation only helps reinforce the long-term outlook.\nfinviz.com\nThe fund manager ARK Invest has published research suggesting a growing allocation by institutional investors towards Bitcoin could impact the price between $200,000 and $500,000 long term. The group believes just a 1% allocation towards Bitcoin by all groups of institutional investors would incrementally add $100,000 to the price of Bitcoin. We expect the wider availability of Bitcoin and crypto investment products to gradually become a staple of diversified portfolios for all investors. In the near term, in our view, the $100k price level will eventually act as a magnet for traders to target through momentum based on the psychological importance of the round number.\nsource: Ark Invest\nMARA Stock Forecast\nAs it relates to MARA, the higher the price of Bitcoin directly translates into higher revenue and earnings potential. We expect Bitcoin miners to outperform the crypto price to the upside based on the concept of operating leverage. Simply put, higher revenues can correspond to an even higher impact to operating income and earnings. Marathon's advantage is both its current scale with a leg up on other miners attempting to secure production capacity through next year. The company's low cost of electricity with an estimated production cost of $5,612 per Bitcoin highlights the profitability potential. MARA's efforts at sustainability with a plan to be 100% carbon neutral by the end of 2022 is a benchmark for the entire industry.\nsource: company IR\nTo forecast how many Bitcoins and revenue MARA will be generating by this time next year, we need to consider not only the price of Bitcoin but also the Bitcoin network difficulty. It's understood that as more mining machines go online, the network hash rate will climb and thereby dilute each existing miners' share of the Bitcoin mining potential. Over the course of a year, 52,560 Bitcoin blocks are awarded by the network with each block representing 6.25 BTC. The 328,500 newly minted Bitcoin mined over the course of a year is the market potential MARA is attempting to capture.\nWe mentioned the company's guidance for 13.3 EH/s represents about 8.4% of the current global hash rate. In reality, by the time the full fleet of mining machines is deployed, it's likely the network difficulty will be above 200 EH/s meaning the 8.4% share will be reduced down towards 6.7% or lower. There is a great deal of uncertainty as to how this rate will progress although the general consensus is that the network difficultly will trend higher. From the chart below, we can observe a large drop in the global hash rate in mid-2021 which coincided with Chinese miners going offline as mining was banned in the country. The other dynamic at play is that some of the oldest mining machines online currently go past their lifecycle and need to be replaced generating a regular turnover.\nData by YCharts\nWe are extrapolating how much Marathon's revenue run rate could be by the second half of next year when it fully deploys all announced mining machine purchases. For example, with a hash rate capacity of 13.3 EH/s by mid-2022, assuming a network difficultly level of 215 EH/s at that point, MARA would control 6.2% of the global hash rate and be able to mine approximately 1,693 Bitcoins in a single month. At the current market price of $60k, the monthly revenue would approach $102 million which is annualized to $1.219 billion. By this measure, we can state that shares of MARA are trading at a forward price to sales multiple of 4.3x based on its expected annualized revenue run rate by next year against the current market cap for the stock at $5.2 billion.\nsource: author estimates\nIn our view, MARA is undervalued at its current level in the context of the Bitcoin pricing environment and growth outlook. A forward P/S multiple closer to 5x would better reflect an appropriate growth premium and the company's positive outlook in our opinion. By this measure, at a constant BTC price of $60k and an outlook for the hash rate to trend towards 215 EH/s, we believe MARA should be valued closer to $61.50 as a near-term price target.\nGoing a step further, with an outlook for Bitcoin to potentially reach $100k by next year, we see shares of MARA trending towards $100. From the table above, the Bitcoin market price of $100k at a 215 EH/s hash rate for next year implies MARA is currently trading at a forward P/S of 2.6x. The stock would need to climb at least 92% from the current level to maintain the valuation parity of 5x based on our model.\nThe Big Picture\nThe Bitcoin mining industry continues to mature with more and more investors beginning to recognize the intrinsic value the leading stocks are generating. Marathon Digital as a U.S.-based leader remains one of the most exciting companies in the segment in the middle of a transformative year. We are encouraged by the recent operating and financial results and expect the company to continue executing successfully. We rate shares of MARA as a buy with a bullish price target of $100 per share in a scenario where Bitcoin trends towards $100k.\nLonger-term, the company's scale and growing balance sheet Bitcoin position will offer it more flexibility to expand into related crypto services while adding to its mining capacity. For the upcoming quarters, the Q3 earnings report will provide an opportunity to take a look at the cost structure as production accelerates. Monitoring points include the monthly updates while it will be important for the company to remain on schedule with the mining machines deliveries and deployments.\nIt goes without saying that the main risk here continues to be the price of Bitcoin. While we are bullish, shares are of MARA will be highly sensitive to the cryptocurrency market price. A selloff in BTC under $50k would likely drive some renewed bearish sentiment and higher volatility. The regulatory landscape also remains uncertain. Efforts by some U.S. states to limit Bitcoin mining along with environmental impact concerns can generate headlines that pressure the segment lower. For 2022, we believe the market will begin to look more closely at earnings and cash flows beyond the high-level themes and momentum.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":321,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":829639821,"gmtCreate":1633495974387,"gmtModify":1633495974622,"author":{"id":"4090224668853230","authorId":"4090224668853230","name":"Laulau","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c71a1a61f1c30d965eb400d29b5e0faa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/829639821","repostId":"1103782575","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103782575","pubTimestamp":1633486462,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103782575?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-06 10:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't worry (too much) about an October market crash","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103782575","media":"CNN Business","summary":"New York (CNN Business) - October has often been a spooky month on Wall Street.

ISS cited directors receiving \"sizeable equity grants\" without providing rationale, raising concerns about the directors' ability to effectively oversee the company's risk. ISS also complained that the board has not been sufficiently responsive to measures that were approved by shareholders last year.\nISS is also recommending \"yes\" votes on shareholder proposals to declassify the board, to issue a diversity and inclusivity report, to report on employee arbitration, and to assign an independent committee to oversee \"human capital management.\" Tesla's board opposes the measures.\nTesla's annual shareholders' meeting is set for Oct. 7 at its factory in Fremont, Calif. Another proposal, supported by both ISS and Tesla's board, would reduce directors' terms to two years, from the current three.\nProposals opposed by Tesla are unlikely to be passed, even if they win a majority of votes. Elon Musk and other insiders control about 25% of voting power, and shareholder supermajorities are required for major changes. That means that without support from Musk and other insiders, nearly 90% of shareholders' support would be needed to overrule them.\nTesla is hardly the only company where shareholders lack much power. Some of the country's biggest and most influential companies, such as Walmart Inc. $(WMT)$ and Facebook Inc. (FB), have near total control in the hands of their founders, their families and other insiders.\nOn the technological side, Tesla over the weekend launched a button on its vehicles' dashboard screens where owners can request a software upgrade to the Full Self-Driving beta version. According to Tesla's website, the company will grant FSB beta access to users who have a proven record of driving safely, determined by a five-factor score compiled by Tesla.\nDespite its name, the Full Self-Driving feature doesn't make the cars fully autonomous, and last week the head of the National Transportation Safety Board called the upgrade premature, and said Tesla's use of that term is \"misleading and irresponsible.\"\nLast week, San Francisco transport authorities also expressed concern about the safety of the FSB feature ahead of the software update.\nFederal regulators have investigated at least 25 crashes over the past five years involving Tesla's Autopilot driver-assistance feature.\nTesla shares $(TSLA)$ are up about 10% year to date, compared to the S&P 500's nearly 19% gain.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":412,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868944958,"gmtCreate":1632583150174,"gmtModify":1632655154607,"author":{"id":"4090224668853230","authorId":"4090224668853230","name":"Laulau","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c71a1a61f1c30d965eb400d29b5e0faa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868944958","repostId":"1149730497","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149730497","pubTimestamp":1632538837,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1149730497?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 11:00","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"7 Best Stocks To Buy for Investors Building a ‘Brands’ Portfolio","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149730497","media":"investorplace","summary":"'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products ","content":"<p>'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products and services</p>\n<p>I saw a recent article from<i>Quartz at Work</i>about Reebok, other brand reboots, and what<b>Authentic Brands</b>plans to doto revitalize the once-dominant sneaker company.

Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.</p>\n<p>The performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0fc99bca07cdb144fe2c7208776aed8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>It’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.</p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.</p>\n<p>While the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge of<b>Walmart’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) eCommerce &amp; Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.</p>\n<p>Ashe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.</p>\n<p>In the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.</p>\n<p>InJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.</p>\n<p>Cornerstone Building Brands (CNR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60a34aa2f9805656c3d30d8bf03763eb\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick</p>\n<p>Of all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.</p>\n<p>The North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair &amp; remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.</p>\n<p>Although the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.</p>\n<p>Since the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.</p>\n<p>A prominent owner of Cornerstone stock is<b>BlueTower Asset Management</b>, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.</p>\n<p>Here’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:</p>\n<p>“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.</p>\n<p>“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”</p>\n<p>What’s not to like?</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00df020d2a1a57e564587b5d95e0c571\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>If you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.</p>\n<p>In October 2019,<b>Post Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>POST</u></b>) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share.

When you consider the value yet to be extracted by its investment, STZ’s valuation is more than reasonable.\nStocks to Buy: Fortune Brands Home & Security (FBHS)Source: Shutterstock\nFortune Brands Home & Security wasspun offfromFortune Brands Inc, part of the then-holding company’s plan to deliver additional value for its shareholders almost a decade ago.\nAt the same time, it sold its Acushnet business for $1.225 billion and renamed Fortune Brands asBeam Inc., the holding company’s spirits business. Beam was subsequently sold toSuntory Holdingsin 2014 for $16 billion, including the assumption of debt.\nFortune shareholders got one share of FBHS for each share in the parent. FBHS stock has generated a total return of 22.4% over the past decade, 548 basis points higher than the entire U.S. market.\nThe company hasthree operating segments: Plumbing, Outdoors & Security, and Cabinets. Its brands include Moen faucets, Larson doors, Master Lock locks, MasterBrand cabinets, and many more.\nTogether, they have TTM sales of $7.02 billion, $1.03 billion in operating income, $650 million in FCF, and an FCF yield of 5.0%.\nIt’s a great business to own for the long haul.\nNewell Brands (NWL)Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com\nNewell CEO Ravi Saligram was recently named one ofAtlanta’s best CEOsby theAtlanta Business Chronicle.Saligram joined Newell as CEO inOctober 2019. Before that, he was CEO ofRitchie Bros. Auctioneers(NYSE:RBA) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.\nHe’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for theS&P 500 indexover the same period.\nOver the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.\n“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.\nHere’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:\n“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.\n“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”\nWhat’s not to like?\nStocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nIf you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.\nIn October 2019,Post Holdings(NYSE:POST) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO. It used the proceeds to pay down some debt owed to the parent and buy shares of the operating company, BellRing Brands LLC.\nAfter the IPO, Post owned 71% of BRBR stock. In August 2021, Post announced thatit plans to distributemost of this stake to shareholders. The move’s expected to include a special cash dividend for Post shareholders.\nAt the same time, it announced the distribution; it also announced Q3 2021 results. Sales in the quarter jumped 68% over last year to $342.6 million, while its operating profit increased by 68% to $51.5 million.\nBellRing’s TTM FCF is$214.3 million. Based on a market cap of $1.3 billion, it has an FCF yield of 16.5%, well into value territory.\nIf I’m a Post shareholder, I’d be hanging on to my BellRing shares for the long haul.\nOn the date of publication, Will Ashworthdid not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to theInvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.\nWill Ashworth has written about investments full-time since 2008.

So the path of least resistance for stocks is still upward.\n\"Virtually all of these problems are showing tangible signs toward resolution,\" Robert Teeter, managing director at Silvercrest Asset Management, said in a report Monday, \"and should not inflict any long-term damage to stock valuations.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":429,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":862928842,"gmtCreate":1632831687566,"gmtModify":1632831687683,"author":{"id":"4090224668853230","authorId":"4090224668853230","name":"Laulau","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c71a1a61f1c30d965eb400d29b5e0faa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/862928842","repostId":"1198385948","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":564,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868944958,"gmtCreate":1632583150174,"gmtModify":1632655154607,"author":{"id":"4090224668853230","authorId":"4090224668853230","name":"Laulau","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c71a1a61f1c30d965eb400d29b5e0faa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868944958","repostId":"1149730497","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149730497","pubTimestamp":1632538837,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1149730497?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 11:00","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"7 Best Stocks To Buy for Investors Building a ‘Brands’ Portfolio","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149730497","media":"investorplace","summary":"'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products ","content":"<p>'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products and services</p>\n<p>I saw a recent article from<i>Quartz at Work</i>about Reebok, other brand reboots, and what<b>Authentic Brands</b>plans to doto revitalize the once-dominant sneaker company.

Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.</p>\n<p>The performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0fc99bca07cdb144fe2c7208776aed8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>It’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.</p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.</p>\n<p>While the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge of<b>Walmart’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) eCommerce &amp; Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.</p>\n<p>Ashe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.</p>\n<p>In the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.</p>\n<p>InJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.</p>\n<p>Cornerstone Building Brands (CNR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60a34aa2f9805656c3d30d8bf03763eb\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick</p>\n<p>Of all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.</p>\n<p>The North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair &amp; remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.</p>\n<p>Although the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.</p>\n<p>Since the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.</p>\n<p>A prominent owner of Cornerstone stock is<b>BlueTower Asset Management</b>, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.</p>\n<p>Here’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:</p>\n<p>“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.</p>\n<p>“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”</p>\n<p>What’s not to like?</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00df020d2a1a57e564587b5d95e0c571\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>If you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.</p>\n<p>In October 2019,<b>Post Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>POST</u></b>) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share.

For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.\nHere’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:\n“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.\n“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”\nWhat’s not to like?\nStocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nIf you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.\nIn October 2019,Post Holdings(NYSE:POST) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO. It used the proceeds to pay down some debt owed to the parent and buy shares of the operating company, BellRing Brands LLC.\nAfter the IPO, Post owned 71% of BRBR stock. In August 2021, Post announced thatit plans to distributemost of this stake to shareholders. The move’s expected to include a special cash dividend for Post shareholders.\nAt the same time, it announced the distribution; it also announced Q3 2021 results. Sales in the quarter jumped 68% over last year to $342.6 million, while its operating profit increased by 68% to $51.5 million.\nBellRing’s TTM FCF is$214.3 million. Based on a market cap of $1.3 billion, it has an FCF yield of 16.5%, well into value territory.\nIf I’m a Post shareholder, I’d be hanging on to my BellRing shares for the long haul.\nOn the date of publication, Will Ashworthdid not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to theInvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.\nWill Ashworth has written about investments full-time since 2008.

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

Tesla (TSLA) said in its earnings report last week that, \"A variety of challenges, including semiconductor shortages, congestion at ports and rolling blackouts, have been impacting our ability to keep factories running at full speed.\"\nAnd reports earlier this month from Bloomberg suggested Apple was likely to cut its iPhone 13 production targets by as many as 10 million units amid chip shortages. The company, however, is still expected to post still-solid revenue growth of 21%, bringing sales to $84.67 billion as consumer demand for the latest smartphones remained resilient, especially in the U.S. and China.\nRounding out this tech-heavy earnings week will be Amazon (AMZN), which posts quarterly results alongside Apple on Thursday after market close. The company has lagged the market since last reporting earnings in late July, falling 7.3% since July 29 versus a 2.9% gain in the S&P 500.\nInvestors have been especially cautious on Amazon given widespread supply chain constraints, rising labor costs and fears that e-commerce sales and Amazon Web Services growth could slow after a pandemic-induced surge. Amazon shares had climbed by 76% in 2020, and the stock was the second-best FAANG performer after Apple that year.\n\"Concerns across top line, bottom line, and broader macro have collectively driven cautious sentiment into year-end,\" wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth in a note last Thursday. \"However, we believe there is still significant secular shift toward e-commerce ahead and Amazon has a very strong track record around investing into future growth opportunities.\"\n\"Macro issues related to supply chain, port congestion, and inventory are well-documented and have intensified into the holiday season, driving concerns that delays could impact timing of AMZN receiving 1P/3P [first-party and third-party seller] inventory and certain items could remain out-of-stock,\" he added. \"Overall, we believe AMZN embedded some degree of disruption into the 3Q guide and we believe AMZN scaled inventory in anticipation of greater 2H demand.\"\nIn late July, Amazon said it expected third-quarter net sales to total $106 billion to $112 billion, missing consensus expectations at the time. Wall Street analysts now expected to see Amazon post third-quarter sales of $111.8 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 16%, or its slowest since early 2015.\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Chicago Fed National Activity Index, September (0.2 expected, 0.29 in August); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (6.2 expected, 4.6 in September)\nTuesday: FHFA House Price Index, month-over-month, August (1.5% expected, 1.4% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, month-over-month, August (1.44% expected, 1.55% in July); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite, year-over-year, August (20.00% expected, 19.95% in July); New Home Sales, month-over-month, September (756,000 expected, 740,000 in August); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, October (108.5 expected, 109.2 in September)\nWednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended Oct. 22 (-6.3% during prior week); Advance Goods Trade Balance, September (-$88.3 billion expected, -$87.6 billion in August); Wholesale Inventories, month-over-month, September preliminary (1.0% expected, 1.2% in August); Durable Goods Orders, September preliminary (-1.0% expected, 1.8% in August); Durable Goods Orders, excluding transportation, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.3% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.6% in August); Non-defense Capital Goods Orders, excluding aircraft, September preliminary (0.4% expected, 0.8% in August)\nThursday: Initial jobless claims, week ended Oct. 23 (292,000 expected, 290,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended Oct. 16 (2.420 million expected, 2.481 million during prior week); GDP annualized, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate annualized (2.7% expected, 6.7% in Q2); Personal consumption, Q3 first estimate (0.7% expected, 12.0% in Q2); Core personal consumption expenditures, quarter-over-quarter, Q3 first estimate (4.4% expected, 6.1% in Q2); Pending home sales, September (0.6% expected, 8.1% in August); Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity Index, October (19 expected, 22 in September)\nFriday: Personal income, September (-0.2% expected, 0.2% in August); Personal spending, September (0.6% expected, 0.8% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures Core Deflator, month-over-moth, September (0.2% expected, 0.3% in August); Personal Consumption Expenditures, Core Deflator, year-over-year, September (3.7% expected, 3.6% in August): MNI Chicago PMI, October (64.0 expected, 64.7 in September); University of Michigan Sentiment, October final (71.4 expected, 71.4 in September)\n\nEarnings calendar\n\nMonday: Kimberly-Clark Corp.

The key is to put aside any outdated misconceptions about the industry and recognize that the company is generating massive revenue growth with earnings set to ramp up. Indeed, with the price of Bitcoin climbing back above $60k, MARA's own all-time high of $58 set back in early April is again within reach. In many ways, the outlook for Bitcoin mining and the broader crypto space has never been more positive.

While the price of Bitcoin averaged around $42k in the quarter, the current market price of $60k implies a quarterly revenue run rate of $75 million that is expected to accelerate going forward as the company continues to expand its capacity.

The key is to put aside any outdated misconceptions about the industry and recognize that the company is generating massive revenue growth with earnings set to ramp up. Indeed, with the price of Bitcoin climbing back above $60k, MARA's own all-time high of $58 set back in early April is again within reach. In many ways, the outlook for Bitcoin mining and the broader crypto space has never been more positive. We are bullish on MARA expect shares to continue outperforming through 2022, gaining momentum as it captures a higher valuation premium.\nSeeking Alpha\nMARA Strong Bitcoin Mining Growth\nThe company provided a production update in early October with the headline of mining 1,252.4 Bitcoins in Q3, nearly double the 664.3 total mined in Q2. While the price of Bitcoin averaged around $42k in the quarter, the current market price of $60k implies a quarterly revenue run rate of $75 million that is expected to accelerate going forward as the company continues to expand its capacity. Marathon now holds 7,035 Bitcoin on its balance sheet with a value of over $422 million in addition to a separate cash position of $33 million.\nsource: company IR\nFrom a reported 29,960 mining machines at the end of September and 2.7 EH/s in hash rate, the plan is to deploy a total of 133,000 miners by mid-2022 meaning the company's mining capacity will be 5x larger than its current level. Management noted some recent logistical issues have impacted shipping times to the company's facility in Hardin, Montana but reaffirmed its schedule of installations through next year.\nsource: company IR\nAssuming the entire fleet of miners was fully deployed right now, it is estimated Marathon would control around 8.4% of the global Bitcoin network based on the current network difficulty of around 158 EH/s compared to the current 2% as per the chart above. At 8.4%, Marathon could theoretically be mining close to 2,275 Bitcoins per month representing a market value of $137 million or $1.6 billion as an annualized run rate.
