That has investors searching elsewhere for ways to get a decent return on their investment capital. One option available is dividend-yielding stocks. But finding a decent yield on a dividend-paying stock when the market is generating such high valuations isn't easy.</p>\n<p>Curiously though, not every dividend-paying stock currently sports a rock-bottom yield. A handful of high-quality names are still dishing out above-average dividends and should continue to do so into the indefinite future.</p>\n<p>Here's a closer look at my three favorite such picks right now.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea11d5bf05a1c298d53e5e876dbbd511\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Coca-Cola</h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3.1%</b></p>\n<p>You know the brand, perhaps as well as any other company in the world. <b>Coca-Cola</b> (NYSE:KO) has been around since 1886 and its products are woven into the very fabric of our culture. Its stock has not only paid a reliable quarterly dividend for decades now, but it has increased its annualized payments every year since 1962. That's the upside of selling products that consumers are willing to buy over and over again (often without a second thought).</p>\n<p>Those who keep close tabs on Coca-Cola may well know the company's top line has been contracting of late (and that was before pandemic-related shutdowns got in the way). Indeed, sales have been slumping since 2013, giving would-be buyers pause. That shrinking top line, however, isn't nearly as much the result of health-minded concerns -- the avoidance of sugary sodas -- as you might think. It's largely by design.</p>\n<p>See, the company has made a point of getting out of the bottling business and it's focusing more on the licensing and franchising business. Namely, it's spent the past few years selling its bottling operations to third-party bottlers who in turn pay the beverage giant royalties for the right to use the brand name. This arrangement translates into lower sales, but brand licensing is a (much) higher-margin business. The new approach to doing business means Coca-Cola is generating more profits than it ever has. That's what income-seeking investors ultimately want to see.</p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MMM\">3M</a></h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3.3%</b></p>\n<p>If you're looking for a thrilling stock pick, don't even bother looking at <b>3M</b> (NYSE:MMM). The company isn't developing any cutting-edge technology, researching a cure for cancer, or embracing digital alternatives to government-issued currency. It's boring.</p>\n<p>But, that's kind of the point.</p>\n<p>There's a suite of 3M products you probably know. This is the parent to Post-it notes, Scotch Tape, and Filtrete HVAC filters. That's only a small sampling of what the company sells though. This company also makes products used in the manufacturing of consumer electronics, power line equipment employed by electric utility providers, reflective materials used to make road signs, and food-safety testing materials, just to name a few.</p>\n<p>It's not a stretch to suggest that 3M, in one way or another, is all around you every day. It's a consumer staples stock within the industrial world at least as much as it is in the consumer goods arena. While 3M ran into some fiscal turbulence in 2018, those suppressed profits were ultimately linked to a business transformation meant to drive new growth as well as reduce long-term costs.</p>\n<p>It seems to have worked too, in spades. The $5.91 worth of per-share dividends paid over the course of the past four quarters are only a fraction of the record-breaking per-share profits of $10.17 earned during this time. This company's got plenty of room to keep funding (and raising) its payout.</p>\n<h2>3. Leggett &amp; Platt</h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3.7%</b></p>\n<p>Finally, I'm adding <b>Leggett &amp; Platt</b> (NYSE:LEG) to my list of top dividend stocks to step into before September ends and October begins.</p>\n<p>Leggett &amp; Platt, of course, makes bedding, furniture, and flooring. They're usually healthy industries, but hardly riveting. Ergo, it's one of those names that's easily -- and often -- overlooked.</p>\n<p>Don't let the ho-hum nature of its business deter you from noticing the fact, however, that this company's top and bottom lines are resilient. For instance, while Leggett did suffer a slowdown in the aftermath of 2007-09's subprime mortgage meltdown, it was only a slight one. That year's revenue of just under $4.1 billion was still within sight of 2006's peak sales of a little less than $4.3 billion, and by 2010 things were humming again. The company was even on pace to report record-breaking sales of around $4.8 billion in 2020 before COVID-19 disrupted things. Even so, Leggett &amp; Platt managed to do nearly $4.3 billion worth of business last year, remaining within sight of 2019's then-record revenue of more than $4.7 billion. Guidance for this year puts a new sales record within reach.

That has investors searching elsewhere for ways to get a decent return on their investment capital. One option available is dividend-yielding stocks. But finding a decent yield on a dividend-paying stock when the market is generating such high valuations isn't easy.\nCuriously though, not every dividend-paying stock currently sports a rock-bottom yield. A handful of high-quality names are still dishing out above-average dividends and should continue to do so into the indefinite future.\nHere's a closer look at my three favorite such picks right now.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Coca-Cola\nDividend yield: 3.1%\nYou know the brand, perhaps as well as any other company in the world. Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) has been around since 1886 and its products are woven into the very fabric of our culture. Its stock has not only paid a reliable quarterly dividend for decades now, but it has increased its annualized payments every year since 1962. That's the upside of selling products that consumers are willing to buy over and over again (often without a second thought).\nThose who keep close tabs on Coca-Cola may well know the company's top line has been contracting of late (and that was before pandemic-related shutdowns got in the way). Indeed, sales have been slumping since 2013, giving would-be buyers pause. That shrinking top line, however, isn't nearly as much the result of health-minded concerns -- the avoidance of sugary sodas -- as you might think. It's largely by design.\nSee, the company has made a point of getting out of the bottling business and it's focusing more on the licensing and franchising business. Namely, it's spent the past few years selling its bottling operations to third-party bottlers who in turn pay the beverage giant royalties for the right to use the brand name. This arrangement translates into lower sales, but brand licensing is a (much) higher-margin business. The new approach to doing business means Coca-Cola is generating more profits than it ever has. That's what income-seeking investors ultimately want to see.\n2. 3M\nDividend yield: 3.3%\nIf you're looking for a thrilling stock pick, don't even bother looking at 3M (NYSE:MMM). The company isn't developing any cutting-edge technology, researching a cure for cancer, or embracing digital alternatives to government-issued currency. It's boring.\nBut, that's kind of the point.\nThere's a suite of 3M products you probably know. This is the parent to Post-it notes, Scotch Tape, and Filtrete HVAC filters. That's only a small sampling of what the company sells though. This company also makes products used in the manufacturing of consumer electronics, power line equipment employed by electric utility providers, reflective materials used to make road signs, and food-safety testing materials, just to name a few.\nIt's not a stretch to suggest that 3M, in one way or another, is all around you every day. It's a consumer staples stock within the industrial world at least as much as it is in the consumer goods arena. While 3M ran into some fiscal turbulence in 2018, those suppressed profits were ultimately linked to a business transformation meant to drive new growth as well as reduce long-term costs.\nIt seems to have worked too, in spades. The $5.91 worth of per-share dividends paid over the course of the past four quarters are only a fraction of the record-breaking per-share profits of $10.17 earned during this time. This company's got plenty of room to keep funding (and raising) its payout.\n3. Leggett & Platt\nDividend yield: 3.7%\nFinally, I'm adding Leggett & Platt (NYSE:LEG) to my list of top dividend stocks to step into before September ends and October begins.\nLeggett & Platt, of course, makes bedding, furniture, and flooring. They're usually healthy industries, but hardly riveting. Ergo, it's one of those names that's easily -- and often -- overlooked.\nDon't let the ho-hum nature of its business deter you from noticing the fact, however, that this company's top and bottom lines are resilient. For instance, while Leggett did suffer a slowdown in the aftermath of 2007-09's subprime mortgage meltdown, it was only a slight one. That year's revenue of just under $4.1 billion was still within sight of 2006's peak sales of a little less than $4.3 billion, and by 2010 things were humming again. The company was even on pace to report record-breaking sales of around $4.8 billion in 2020 before COVID-19 disrupted things. Even so, Leggett & Platt managed to do nearly $4.3 billion worth of business last year, remaining within sight of 2019's then-record revenue of more than $4.7 billion. Guidance for this year puts a new sales record within reach. And, thanks to a generous stock-buyback program, this year's projected profit of between $2.30 and $2.60 per share puts the prospect of record-breaking earnings on the table as well.\nThen there's the even-more-overlooked detail about Leggett & Platt that investors don't seem to fully appreciate. That is, not only is this furniture and flooring company a Dividend Aristocrat, it's now a Dividend King, boasting 50 consecutive years of annual dividend growth. It's also one of the highest-yielding names right now among the Dividend Aristocrats, dishing out nearly 3.3% of the stock's present price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":794,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":839664637,"gmtCreate":1629157435129,"gmtModify":1633687026867,"author":{"id":"4090594976982710","authorId":"4090594976982710","name":"Anna79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15e28029cdd3aac4683d961154d6ab19","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090594976982710","authorIdStr":"4090594976982710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"💰💰","listText":"💰💰","text":"💰💰","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/839664637","repostId":"2160278866","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2160278866","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1629153526,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2160278866?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-17 06:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500, Dow hit record highs as defensive shares shine","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2160278866","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Healthcare sector rises over 1%, utilities, staples gain\n* Cyclical areas off: Energy, materials, ","content":"<p>* Healthcare sector rises over 1%, utilities, staples gain</p>\n<p>* Cyclical areas off: Energy, materials, financials weak</p>\n<p>* China factory output, retail sales growth slow sharply</p>\n<p>* Tesla slumps after U.S. opens probe into Autopilot</p>\n<p>* Dow up 0.31%, S&amp;P up 0.26%, Nasdaq down 0.2%</p>\n<p>Aug 16 (Reuters) - The benchmark S&amp;P 500 and the Dow industrials hit record highs on Monday as investors moved into defensive sectors and stocks recovered from losses earlier in the session, shaking off glum economic data out of China.</p>\n<p>Economically sensitive groups such as energy, materials and financials were weaker after China's factory output and retail sales growth slowed sharply and missed expectations in July, as new COVID-19 outbreaks and floods disrupted business operations.</p>\n<p>But healthcare gained 1.1%, the best-performing S&amp;P 500 sector.

Mr. Rosengren said he hopes that if strong economic growth continues, “we’re done with the tapering program…towards the middle of next year.”</p>\n<p>The Fed wound down its previous bond-buying program very gradually, reducing its purchases over the course of 10 months.

The economy is growing rapidly. Unemployment is much lower, at 5.4% in July.Inflation is much hotter. And bond yields have tumbled this year even as the central bank has discussed plans to reduce bond purchases.</p>\n<p>The asset purchases aim to stimulate the economy by holding down long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending. Mr. Rosengren pointed to recentsurges in home pricesas evidence that the program may be nearing a point of diminishing returns. “If you can’t get housing materials and you can’t get construction workers to come back on site, but we do increase demand for housing, then it doesn’t do much for our employment mandate—but it does increase housing prices more than it otherwise would,” he said.</p>\n<p>Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan agreed. “These purchases are very well designed to stimulate demand, but we don’t have a demand problem,” he said in an interview. “In the aftermath of the Great Recession, we did. So I don’t want to use the playbook from 2009 to 2013.”</p>\n<p>Some other officials have argued for more patience. Fed governor Lael Brainard indicated last month she wanted to see September hiring data, which won’t be available until early October, before deciding. That would hold off any tapering until no sooner than the Fed’s Nov. 2-3 meeting.</p>\n<p>San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said in an interview last week she thinks the economy should support “beginning to taper later this year, or maybe next.” Labor markets are “really strong—getting stronger,” she said.</p>\n<p>Ms. Daly said it was too soon to say how the Fed should reduce the purchases. “Those things haven’t been decided,” she said.</p>\n<p>Likewise, Mr. Evans didn’t say how soon he thought the Fed would need to wind down its purchases. He expects inflation to fall back to 2% by the end of next year, which would argue for less urgency to withdraw monetary stimulus.</p>\n<p>“My own outlook is, we’re gonna be more challenged in getting inflation to confidently stay up in the 2% or 2.1% or 2.2%” range, he said. “If others had more confidence that inflation was going to be higher on a sustainable basis, then that…quicker tapering could be the right path.”</p>\n<p>Fed officials have yet to decidewhether to reduce their purchasesof Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities at the same pace.</p>\n<p>Mr. Rosengren said he would prefer to reduce them monthly by equal quantities. Because the Fed is buying twice as many Treasurys as mortgage-backed securities, that would result in mortgage-bond purchases ending in half the time as Treasury purchases.</p>\n<p>Mr. Kaplan said he favors reducing the purchases of both types of bonds over the course of eight months, or by $10 billion for Treasurys and $5 billion for mortgage-backed securities a month. “That strikes me as the most prudent course: start soon, and go gradually, and for me, gradually means eight months,” he said.</p>\n<p>St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he wants to start paring assets in October and conclude the program by March, reducing the purchases of Treasurys by $20 billion a month and mortgage bonds by $10 billion a month. Fed governor Christopher Waller has outlined a similar preference.</p>\n<p>Even though “that would be a fairly rapid pullout of the asset-purchase program,” Mr. Bullard said in an interview last week that he thought it would give the Fed more flexibility to determine whether to raise rates later next year. “I don’t want to have to move too rapidly [to raise rates] because it can be very disruptive, so I think that the pace I’m suggesting would give us a lot more optionality in 2022 if we needed to use it.”</p>\n<p>Mr. Kaplan said by reducing asset purchases sooner, the Fed might be able to wait longer before it has to raise interest rates. “By getting a more appropriate stance of monetary policy now or soon, it might actually allow you to be more flexible and be more patient on how you adjust the federal-funds rate down the road,” he said.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

I'm certain there will be plenty of coverage of the empirical results, including the tremendous growth and&nbsp;increased cash flow outlook.</p>\n<p>Here, I'll just highlight those numbers then I'll turn to a few things that came up directly on the earnings call that surprised me.</p>\n<p>First, revenue was up 49%, beating the estimates. it's notable that commercial revenue was up an eye-popping 90%, because it's an area that bears have complained about. This mostly squashes the idea that PLTR is only driven by secret government contracts.</p>\n<p>Second, PLTR closed a ton of deals in Q2. Specifically, they scored 62 deals worth $1 million or more. I like this view:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37ecc00151018d803161b75c01bb4571\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update</span></p>\n<p>Of course, the YoY remaining deal value is interesting but I like the blunt look into the deal size, with&nbsp;<i>30 deals over $5 million and 21 deals over $10 million</i>, because it indicates an ever-spreading reach of customers. That's exactly what's required to drive long-term revenue growth, but also stability.</p>\n<p>Third, it's looking like Q3 is going to work out fairly well. Sales are projected to be about $5 million great than consensus. And, as I've already mentioned, PLTR raised its free cash flow outlook. To be clear, the jump is rather big, going from greater than $150 million to now greater than $300 million.</p>\n<p>I didn't see or hear much about changes in annual revenue growth, but one thing is crystal clear -<i>I do not expect growth to slow down</i>. And, per the presentation and earnings call, growth is expected at 30% or more this year, and then through 2025.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, revenue grew by 49% in Q1 YoY, generating $341 between government and commercial. And now, in Q2, revenue grew by 49% YoY to $376 million. That's two quarters in a row at 49%. It's for this reason that I stick by&nbsp;what I previously wrote about PLTR sandbagging:</p>\n<blockquote>\n In other words, when we start with $800 million for 2021, it's pretty obvious that the 30% growth doesn't cut it. We cannot reach $4 billion by 2025 with \"only\" 30% growth. PLTR is perhapss&nbsp;andbagging&nbsp;to keep expectations lower. It's hard to know for sure. It could also be that they expect faster growth in 2022 through 2025.\n</blockquote>\n<p>I'll have to dive in deeper in a future article to see exactly how current and future growth projections line up against the hard numbers that have come in. For now, my point is simply that they've set the bar at a reasonable albeit conservative level and seeing beats like this is not too shocking, but also encouraging.<i>They're managing Wall Street and the analysts fairly well.</i></p>\n<p>Fourth, in addition to new customer acquisition, the revenue dollar value for PLTR's top 20 customers continues to march upward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fba540de7f84e50e602dc943d5e985f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update</span></p>\n<p>If it's not completely obvious, this is worth watching since it gives us some confidence that<i>customers are happy and they are sticking</i>. It's not a perfect indicator, but it's still pretty good since unhappy customers aren't going to keep paying PLTR, over and over. Other companies have a tendency to either focus too much on milking current \"cash cow\" customers or getting hyper aggressive about new customers. In the Q2 2021 update, we're seeing a great flow of new customers and then this indicator of growing long-term customer value. It's a delicate but critical balance. I'll continue to watch this in Q3.</p>\n<p>Fifth,in Q1, we heard about \"Day Zero\" customers.

The outsized package is the result of an equity incentive plan agreed upon last year, giving Karp 141 million options that begin vesting in August 2021.

Now, for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to paraphrase the scripted response that was read out loud. In short, Alex Karp has a huge number of options. These options are \"old\" and apparently must be exercised now; I believe before the end of 2021. Furthermore, the selling is automatic, which seems to line up pretty well with the data I've captured above. In other words,<i>Karp's selling isn't because he's lost faith in the company</i>.</p>\n<p>Karp's salary is just over $1 million, which isn't too bad, but it's also not crazy. Clearly, PLTR stock and options are fueling his incredible compensation package.

I'm certain there will be plenty of coverage of the empirical results, including the tremendous growth and increased cash flow outlook.\nHere, I'll just highlight those numbers then I'll turn to a few things that came up directly on the earnings call that surprised me.\nFirst, revenue was up 49%, beating the estimates. it's notable that commercial revenue was up an eye-popping 90%, because it's an area that bears have complained about. This mostly squashes the idea that PLTR is only driven by secret government contracts.\nSecond, PLTR closed a ton of deals in Q2. Specifically, they scored 62 deals worth $1 million or more. I like this view:\nSource:Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update\nOf course, the YoY remaining deal value is interesting but I like the blunt look into the deal size, with 30 deals over $5 million and 21 deals over $10 million, because it indicates an ever-spreading reach of customers. That's exactly what's required to drive long-term revenue growth, but also stability.\nThird, it's looking like Q3 is going to work out fairly well. Sales are projected to be about $5 million great than consensus. And, as I've already mentioned, PLTR raised its free cash flow outlook. To be clear, the jump is rather big, going from greater than $150 million to now greater than $300 million.\nI didn't see or hear much about changes in annual revenue growth, but one thing is crystal clear -I do not expect growth to slow down. And, per the presentation and earnings call, growth is expected at 30% or more this year, and then through 2025.\nInterestingly, revenue grew by 49% in Q1 YoY, generating $341 between government and commercial. And now, in Q2, revenue grew by 49% YoY to $376 million. That's two quarters in a row at 49%. It's for this reason that I stick by what I previously wrote about PLTR sandbagging:\n\n In other words, when we start with $800 million for 2021, it's pretty obvious that the 30% growth doesn't cut it. We cannot reach $4 billion by 2025 with \"only\" 30% growth. PLTR is perhapss andbagging to keep expectations lower. It's hard to know for sure. It could also be that they expect faster growth in 2022 through 2025.\n\nI'll have to dive in deeper in a future article to see exactly how current and future growth projections line up against the hard numbers that have come in. For now, my point is simply that they've set the bar at a reasonable albeit conservative level and seeing beats like this is not too shocking, but also encouraging.They're managing Wall Street and the analysts fairly well.\nFourth, in addition to new customer acquisition, the revenue dollar value for PLTR's top 20 customers continues to march upward.\nSource: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update\nIf it's not completely obvious, this is worth watching since it gives us some confidence thatcustomers are happy and they are sticking. It's not a perfect indicator, but it's still pretty good since unhappy customers aren't going to keep paying PLTR, over and over. Other companies have a tendency to either focus too much on milking current \"cash cow\" customers or getting hyper aggressive about new customers. In the Q2 2021 update, we're seeing a great flow of new customers and then this indicator of growing long-term customer value. It's a delicate but critical balance. I'll continue to watch this in Q3.\nFifth,in Q1, we heard about \"Day Zero\" customers. Here's a taste:\n\n We are seeing opportunities for companies to build their digital infrastructure around foundry from day zero, where they can shave years off their ramps and mountains of risk off their roadmaps by cost efficiently standing on the shoulders of 15 years and more than $2 billion of R&D. And we see this as the first salvo in expanding distribution of foundry to broader markets and a broader set of customers.\n\nIn Q2, PLTR leadership continued to push this theme, highlighting Roivant, Celularity and Wejo, for example. The idea is to get these companies using Foundry while they are just getting started, or otherwise very small. They're treating Foundry as the \"operating system\" of these businesses.\nSupporting this thrust,PLTR added another 60 sales hires. If I recall correctly, they hired about 50 sales people in Q1, so they are steadily adding headcount in sales and marketing, without going gangbusters. That said, their pipeline is accelerating, with active commercial pilots up 26% since the end of April.\nSixth, I heard leadership quickly say that they have paid off what they owed, and thatPLTR is now debt free. In a future article, I'll have to do a deeper dive, but I wanted to report it here since I have an affinity for extremely strong balance sheets. It's possible I didn't understand the comment on the call, but I'm pretty sure that I've got it right. I reviewed the Q2 2021 business presentation but didn't see any notes on this so I'll have to revisit this at a later point. But again, I think I've got it right, and it's great news.\nLastly, there was a question about Alex Karp's executive compensation, and specifically about the relentless insider selling. Before I get to that, here's some quick background reported by CNBC back in April 2021:\n\n Palantir CEO Alex Karp earned compensation worth about $1.1 billion in 2020, primarily through equity awards granted shortly before his software company went public.In a proxy filing on Thursday, Palantir said the bulk of Karp’s pay was tied to options worth $797.9 million, with another $296.4 million for stock awards.

Coca-Cola</h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3.1%</b></p>\n<p>You know the brand, perhaps as well as any other company in the world. <b>Coca-Cola</b> (NYSE:KO) has been around since 1886 and its products are woven into the very fabric of our culture. Its stock has not only paid a reliable quarterly dividend for decades now, but it has increased its annualized payments every year since 1962. That's the upside of selling products that consumers are willing to buy over and over again (often without a second thought).</p>\n<p>Those who keep close tabs on Coca-Cola may well know the company's top line has been contracting of late (and that was before pandemic-related shutdowns got in the way). Indeed, sales have been slumping since 2013, giving would-be buyers pause. That shrinking top line, however, isn't nearly as much the result of health-minded concerns -- the avoidance of sugary sodas -- as you might think. It's largely by design.</p>\n<p>See, the company has made a point of getting out of the bottling business and it's focusing more on the licensing and franchising business. Namely, it's spent the past few years selling its bottling operations to third-party bottlers who in turn pay the beverage giant royalties for the right to use the brand name. This arrangement translates into lower sales, but brand licensing is a (much) higher-margin business. The new approach to doing business means Coca-Cola is generating more profits than it ever has. That's what income-seeking investors ultimately want to see.</p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MMM\">3M</a></h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3.3%</b></p>\n<p>If you're looking for a thrilling stock pick, don't even bother looking at <b>3M</b> (NYSE:MMM). The company isn't developing any cutting-edge technology, researching a cure for cancer, or embracing digital alternatives to government-issued currency. It's boring.</p>\n<p>But, that's kind of the point.</p>\n<p>There's a suite of 3M products you probably know. This is the parent to Post-it notes, Scotch Tape, and Filtrete HVAC filters. That's only a small sampling of what the company sells though. This company also makes products used in the manufacturing of consumer electronics, power line equipment employed by electric utility providers, reflective materials used to make road signs, and food-safety testing materials, just to name a few.</p>\n<p>It's not a stretch to suggest that 3M, in one way or another, is all around you every day. It's a consumer staples stock within the industrial world at least as much as it is in the consumer goods arena. While 3M ran into some fiscal turbulence in 2018, those suppressed profits were ultimately linked to a business transformation meant to drive new growth as well as reduce long-term costs.</p>\n<p>It seems to have worked too, in spades. The $5.91 worth of per-share dividends paid over the course of the past four quarters are only a fraction of the record-breaking per-share profits of $10.17 earned during this time. This company's got plenty of room to keep funding (and raising) its payout.</p>\n<h2>3. Leggett &amp; Platt</h2>\n<p><b>Dividend yield: 3.7%</b></p>\n<p>Finally, I'm adding <b>Leggett &amp; Platt</b> (NYSE:LEG) to my list of top dividend stocks to step into before September ends and October begins.</p>\n<p>Leggett &amp; Platt, of course, makes bedding, furniture, and flooring. They're usually healthy industries, but hardly riveting. Ergo, it's one of those names that's easily -- and often -- overlooked.</p>\n<p>Don't let the ho-hum nature of its business deter you from noticing the fact, however, that this company's top and bottom lines are resilient. For instance, while Leggett did suffer a slowdown in the aftermath of 2007-09's subprime mortgage meltdown, it was only a slight one. That year's revenue of just under $4.1 billion was still within sight of 2006's peak sales of a little less than $4.3 billion, and by 2010 things were humming again. The company was even on pace to report record-breaking sales of around $4.8 billion in 2020 before COVID-19 disrupted things. Even so, Leggett &amp; Platt managed to do nearly $4.3 billion worth of business last year, remaining within sight of 2019's then-record revenue of more than $4.7 billion. Guidance for this year puts a new sales record within reach. And, thanks to a generous stock-buyback program, this year's projected profit of between $2.30 and $2.60 per share puts the prospect of record-breaking earnings on the table as well.</p>\n<p>Then there's the even-more-overlooked detail about Leggett &amp; Platt that investors don't seem to fully appreciate. That is, not only is this furniture and flooring company a Dividend Aristocrat, it's now a Dividend King, boasting 50 consecutive years of annual dividend growth. It's also one of the highest-yielding names right now among the Dividend Aristocrats, dishing out nearly 3.3% of the stock's present price.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>My 3 Top Dividend Stocks for October</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\">\nMy 3 Top Dividend Stocks for October\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-30 23:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/30/top-dividend-stocks-october-coke-3m-leggett/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>We may be stuck in an economic environment marred by oddly low overall interest rates.

The $5.91 worth of per-share dividends paid over the course of the past four quarters are only a fraction of the record-breaking per-share profits of $10.17 earned during this time. This company's got plenty of room to keep funding (and raising) its payout.\n3. Leggett & Platt\nDividend yield: 3.7%\nFinally, I'm adding Leggett & Platt (NYSE:LEG) to my list of top dividend stocks to step into before September ends and October begins.\nLeggett & Platt, of course, makes bedding, furniture, and flooring. They're usually healthy industries, but hardly riveting. Ergo, it's one of those names that's easily -- and often -- overlooked.\nDon't let the ho-hum nature of its business deter you from noticing the fact, however, that this company's top and bottom lines are resilient. For instance, while Leggett did suffer a slowdown in the aftermath of 2007-09's subprime mortgage meltdown, it was only a slight one. That year's revenue of just under $4.1 billion was still within sight of 2006's peak sales of a little less than $4.3 billion, and by 2010 things were humming again. The company was even on pace to report record-breaking sales of around $4.8 billion in 2020 before COVID-19 disrupted things. Even so, Leggett & Platt managed to do nearly $4.3 billion worth of business last year, remaining within sight of 2019's then-record revenue of more than $4.7 billion. Guidance for this year puts a new sales record within reach. And, thanks to a generous stock-buyback program, this year's projected profit of between $2.30 and $2.60 per share puts the prospect of record-breaking earnings on the table as well.\nThen there's the even-more-overlooked detail about Leggett & Platt that investors don't seem to fully appreciate. That is, not only is this furniture and flooring company a Dividend Aristocrat, it's now a Dividend King, boasting 50 consecutive years of annual dividend growth. It's also one of the highest-yielding names right now among the Dividend Aristocrats, dishing out nearly 3.3% of the stock's present price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":794,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":897225134,"gmtCreate":1628926786428,"gmtModify":1633688433414,"author":{"id":"4090594976982710","authorId":"4090594976982710","name":"Anna79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15e28029cdd3aac4683d961154d6ab19","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090594976982710","authorIdStr":"4090594976982710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"😱😱","listText":"😱😱","text":"😱😱","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/897225134","repostId":"1167599158","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":123,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839664637,"gmtCreate":1629157435129,"gmtModify":1633687026867,"author":{"id":"4090594976982710","authorId":"4090594976982710","name":"Anna79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15e28029cdd3aac4683d961154d6ab19","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090594976982710","authorIdStr":"4090594976982710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"💰💰","listText":"💰💰","text":"💰💰","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/839664637","repostId":"2160278866","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2160278866","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1629153526,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2160278866?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-17 06:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500, Dow hit record highs as defensive shares shine","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2160278866","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Healthcare sector rises over 1%, utilities, staples gain\n* Cyclical areas off: Energy, materials, ","content":"<p>* Healthcare sector rises over 1%, utilities, staples gain</p>\n<p>* Cyclical areas off: Energy, materials, financials weak</p>\n<p>* China factory output, retail sales growth slow sharply</p>\n<p>* Tesla slumps after U.S. opens probe into Autopilot</p>\n<p>* Dow up 0.31%, S&amp;P up 0.26%, Nasdaq down 0.2%</p>\n<p>Aug 16 (Reuters) - The benchmark S&amp;P 500 and the Dow industrials hit record highs on Monday as investors moved into defensive sectors and stocks recovered from losses earlier in the session, shaking off glum economic data out of China.</p>\n<p>Economically sensitive groups such as energy, materials and financials were weaker after China's factory output and retail sales growth slowed sharply and missed expectations in July, as new COVID-19 outbreaks and floods disrupted business operations.</p>\n<p>But healthcare gained 1.1%, the best-performing S&amp;P 500 sector.

That exceeds the company’s previous outlook as well as an average of analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg.</p>\n<p>Palantir has been recruiting an array of corporate allies with the goal of attracting new customers. It forged partnerships this year with International Business Machines Corp. and Fujitsu Ltd. to resell its technology and with Amazon Web Services to support it. Palantir also expanded its own sales team.</p>\n<p>The search went even wider last month to include small companies. Palantir began selling its software through a monthly subscription to a handful of startups connected to former employees. The company also invested in a dozen startups and signed them up as customers, marking a reversal of its previous approach to only pursue large deals.</p>\n<p>“We’ve always invested in companies. Now we can do it with our balance sheet,” Kevin Kawasaki, the head of business development, said on a conference call with analysts Thursday. “This is a long-term strategy.”</p>\n<p>The shifting strategy came at a cost. The second-quarter loss was 7 cents a share. Stock-based compensation accounts for a hefty portion.</p>\n<p>Sales results in the quarter were encouraging. Palantir reported $376 million in revenue for the period that ended in June, up 49% from a year earlier.</p>\n<p>Many government agencies have flocked to Palantir since last year to help them analyze the Covid-19 pandemic.

I'm certain there will be plenty of coverage of the empirical results, including the tremendous growth and&nbsp;increased cash flow outlook.</p>\n<p>Here, I'll just highlight those numbers then I'll turn to a few things that came up directly on the earnings call that surprised me.</p>\n<p>First, revenue was up 49%, beating the estimates. it's notable that commercial revenue was up an eye-popping 90%, because it's an area that bears have complained about. This mostly squashes the idea that PLTR is only driven by secret government contracts.</p>\n<p>Second, PLTR closed a ton of deals in Q2. Specifically, they scored 62 deals worth $1 million or more. I like this view:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37ecc00151018d803161b75c01bb4571\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update</span></p>\n<p>Of course, the YoY remaining deal value is interesting but I like the blunt look into the deal size, with&nbsp;<i>30 deals over $5 million and 21 deals over $10 million</i>, because it indicates an ever-spreading reach of customers. That's exactly what's required to drive long-term revenue growth, but also stability.</p>\n<p>Third, it's looking like Q3 is going to work out fairly well. Sales are projected to be about $5 million great than consensus. And, as I've already mentioned, PLTR raised its free cash flow outlook. To be clear, the jump is rather big, going from greater than $150 million to now greater than $300 million.</p>\n<p>I didn't see or hear much about changes in annual revenue growth, but one thing is crystal clear -<i>I do not expect growth to slow down</i>. And, per the presentation and earnings call, growth is expected at 30% or more this year, and then through 2025.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, revenue grew by 49% in Q1 YoY, generating $341 between government and commercial. And now, in Q2, revenue grew by 49% YoY to $376 million. That's two quarters in a row at 49%. It's for this reason that I stick by&nbsp;what I previously wrote about PLTR sandbagging:</p>\n<blockquote>\n In other words, when we start with $800 million for 2021, it's pretty obvious that the 30% growth doesn't cut it. We cannot reach $4 billion by 2025 with \"only\" 30% growth. PLTR is perhapss&nbsp;andbagging&nbsp;to keep expectations lower. It's hard to know for sure. It could also be that they expect faster growth in 2022 through 2025.\n</blockquote>\n<p>I'll have to dive in deeper in a future article to see exactly how current and future growth projections line up against the hard numbers that have come in. For now, my point is simply that they've set the bar at a reasonable albeit conservative level and seeing beats like this is not too shocking, but also encouraging.<i>They're managing Wall Street and the analysts fairly well.</i></p>\n<p>Fourth, in addition to new customer acquisition, the revenue dollar value for PLTR's top 20 customers continues to march upward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fba540de7f84e50e602dc943d5e985f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update</span></p>\n<p>If it's not completely obvious, this is worth watching since it gives us some confidence that<i>customers are happy and they are sticking</i>. It's not a perfect indicator, but it's still pretty good since unhappy customers aren't going to keep paying PLTR, over and over. Other companies have a tendency to either focus too much on milking current \"cash cow\" customers or getting hyper aggressive about new customers. In the Q2 2021 update, we're seeing a great flow of new customers and then this indicator of growing long-term customer value. It's a delicate but critical balance. I'll continue to watch this in Q3.</p>\n<p>Fifth,in Q1, we heard about \"Day Zero\" customers. Here's a taste:</p>\n<blockquote>\n We are seeing opportunities for companies to build their digital infrastructure around foundry from day zero, where they can shave years off their ramps and mountains of risk off their roadmaps by cost efficiently standing on the shoulders of 15 years and more than $2 billion of R&amp;D. And we see this as the first salvo in expanding distribution of foundry to broader markets and a broader set of customers.\n</blockquote>\n<p>In Q2, PLTR leadership continued to push this theme, highlighting Roivant, Celularity and Wejo, for example. The idea is to get these companies using Foundry while they are just getting started, or otherwise very small. They're treating Foundry as the \"operating system\" of these businesses.</p>\n<p>Supporting this thrust,<i>PLTR added another 60 sales hires</i>. If I recall correctly, they hired about 50 sales people in Q1, so they are steadily adding headcount in sales and marketing, without going gangbusters. That said, their pipeline is accelerating, with active commercial pilots up 26% since the end of April.</p>\n<p>Sixth, I heard leadership quickly say that they have paid off what they owed, and that<i>PLTR is now debt free</i>. In a future article, I'll have to do a deeper dive, but I wanted to report it here since I have an affinity for extremely strong balance sheets. It's possible I didn't understand the comment on the call, but I'm pretty sure that I've got it right. I reviewed the Q2 2021 business presentation but didn't see any notes on this so I'll have to revisit this at a later point. But again, I think I've got it right, and it's great news.</p>\n<p>Lastly, there was a question about Alex Karp's executive compensation, and specifically about the relentless insider selling. Before I get to that, here's some quick background&nbsp;reported by CNBC back in April 2021:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Palantir CEO Alex Karp earned compensation worth about $1.1 billion in 2020, primarily through equity awards granted shortly before his software company went public.In a proxy filing on Thursday, Palantir said the bulk of Karp’s pay was tied to options worth $797.9 million, with another $296.4 million for stock awards. The outsized package is the result of an equity incentive plan agreed upon last year, giving Karp 141 million options that begin vesting in August 2021. Each quarter, 2.5 percent of the equity will vest.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Now, here's just a quick peek about what that selling looks like:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9b2c725b59681121eec807c4650b5ad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"295\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Nasdaq</span></p>\n<p>Obviously, the action here is pretty intense and it's why it was brought up for consideration. Now, for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to paraphrase the scripted response that was read out loud. In short, Alex Karp has a huge number of options. These options are \"old\" and apparently must be exercised now; I believe before the end of 2021. Furthermore, the selling is automatic, which seems to line up pretty well with the data I've captured above. In other words,<i>Karp's selling isn't because he's lost faith in the company</i>.</p>\n<p>Karp's salary is just over $1 million, which isn't too bad, but it's also not crazy. Clearly, PLTR stock and options are fueling his incredible compensation package. This is a bit frustrating to track, however, when the options vest, get exercised and then sold there are also tremendous taxes to pay. So, in part, Karp is necessarily working through the process of exercising long-term options, while handling tax obligations on a rational schedule.</p>\n<p>Again, all of this is to say two things. Karp's made a ton of money but at the same time, he hasn't given up on PLTR. His selling doesn't say anything substantial about PLTR's future, in my opinion.

I'm certain there will be plenty of coverage of the empirical results, including the tremendous growth and increased cash flow outlook.\nHere, I'll just highlight those numbers then I'll turn to a few things that came up directly on the earnings call that surprised me.\nFirst, revenue was up 49%, beating the estimates. it's notable that commercial revenue was up an eye-popping 90%, because it's an area that bears have complained about. This mostly squashes the idea that PLTR is only driven by secret government contracts.\nSecond, PLTR closed a ton of deals in Q2. Specifically, they scored 62 deals worth $1 million or more. I like this view:\nSource:Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update\nOf course, the YoY remaining deal value is interesting but I like the blunt look into the deal size, with 30 deals over $5 million and 21 deals over $10 million, because it indicates an ever-spreading reach of customers. That's exactly what's required to drive long-term revenue growth, but also stability.\nThird, it's looking like Q3 is going to work out fairly well. Sales are projected to be about $5 million great than consensus. And, as I've already mentioned, PLTR raised its free cash flow outlook. To be clear, the jump is rather big, going from greater than $150 million to now greater than $300 million.\nI didn't see or hear much about changes in annual revenue growth, but one thing is crystal clear -I do not expect growth to slow down. And, per the presentation and earnings call, growth is expected at 30% or more this year, and then through 2025.\nInterestingly, revenue grew by 49% in Q1 YoY, generating $341 between government and commercial. And now, in Q2, revenue grew by 49% YoY to $376 million. That's two quarters in a row at 49%. It's for this reason that I stick by what I previously wrote about PLTR sandbagging:\n\n In other words, when we start with $800 million for 2021, it's pretty obvious that the 30% growth doesn't cut it. We cannot reach $4 billion by 2025 with \"only\" 30% growth. PLTR is perhapss andbagging to keep expectations lower. It's hard to know for sure. It could also be that they expect faster growth in 2022 through 2025.\n\nI'll have to dive in deeper in a future article to see exactly how current and future growth projections line up against the hard numbers that have come in. For now, my point is simply that they've set the bar at a reasonable albeit conservative level and seeing beats like this is not too shocking, but also encouraging.They're managing Wall Street and the analysts fairly well.\nFourth, in addition to new customer acquisition, the revenue dollar value for PLTR's top 20 customers continues to march upward.\nSource: Palantir Q2 2021 Business Update\nIf it's not completely obvious, this is worth watching since it gives us some confidence thatcustomers are happy and they are sticking. It's not a perfect indicator, but it's still pretty good since unhappy customers aren't going to keep paying PLTR, over and over. Other companies have a tendency to either focus too much on milking current \"cash cow\" customers or getting hyper aggressive about new customers. In the Q2 2021 update, we're seeing a great flow of new customers and then this indicator of growing long-term customer value. It's a delicate but critical balance. I'll continue to watch this in Q3.\nFifth,in Q1, we heard about \"Day Zero\" customers. Here's a taste:\n\n We are seeing opportunities for companies to build their digital infrastructure around foundry from day zero, where they can shave years off their ramps and mountains of risk off their roadmaps by cost efficiently standing on the shoulders of 15 years and more than $2 billion of R&D. And we see this as the first salvo in expanding distribution of foundry to broader markets and a broader set of customers.\n\nIn Q2, PLTR leadership continued to push this theme, highlighting Roivant, Celularity and Wejo, for example. The idea is to get these companies using Foundry while they are just getting started, or otherwise very small. They're treating Foundry as the \"operating system\" of these businesses.\nSupporting this thrust,PLTR added another 60 sales hires. If I recall correctly, they hired about 50 sales people in Q1, so they are steadily adding headcount in sales and marketing, without going gangbusters. That said, their pipeline is accelerating, with active commercial pilots up 26% since the end of April.\nSixth, I heard leadership quickly say that they have paid off what they owed, and thatPLTR is now debt free. In a future article, I'll have to do a deeper dive, but I wanted to report it here since I have an affinity for extremely strong balance sheets. It's possible I didn't understand the comment on the call, but I'm pretty sure that I've got it right. I reviewed the Q2 2021 business presentation but didn't see any notes on this so I'll have to revisit this at a later point. But again, I think I've got it right, and it's great news.\nLastly, there was a question about Alex Karp's executive compensation, and specifically about the relentless insider selling. Before I get to that, here's some quick background reported by CNBC back in April 2021:\n\n Palantir CEO Alex Karp earned compensation worth about $1.1 billion in 2020, primarily through equity awards granted shortly before his software company went public.In a proxy filing on Thursday, Palantir said the bulk of Karp’s pay was tied to options worth $797.9 million, with another $296.4 million for stock awards.

The Fed is set to release on Wednesday minutes of the meeting that could provide further clues about those discussions.</p>\n<p>The answers are important to financial markets because Fed officials have said they would prefer to conclude the bond-buying program before considering when to raise interest rates from near-zero. At their June 15-16 policy meeting, 13 of 18 Fed officials projected they would raise rates by the end of 2023; seven expected to do so by the end of 2022.</p>\n<p>Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said at a July 28 news conference that the Fed was still “a ways away from considering raising interest rates. It’s not something that is on our radar screen right now.”</p>\n<p>A recent run ofstrong hiring reportshave strengthened the case for the Fed to announce at its next meeting, Sept. 21-22, its intentions to start tapering, potentially as soon as its following meeting in November.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fcf5a9a0b2244055076f521102b5b4a\" tg-width=\"317\" tg-height=\"412\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">“I do expect we are going to be at the point where we’ve seen substantial further progress…probably later this year,” said Chicago Fed President Charles Evans in avirtual roundtable with reporterslast week.</p>\n<p>Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said in an interview he expected to see by the Sept. 21-22 meeting enough job growth to meet the criteria for reducing bond purchases. “That would set up some time this fall a possible tapering that is dependent on the Delta variant and other variants not slowing down the labor market substantially,” he said in an interview last week. Mr. Rosengren said he hopes that if strong economic growth continues, “we’re done with the tapering program…towards the middle of next year.”</p>\n<p>The Fed wound down its previous bond-buying program very gradually, reducing its purchases over the course of 10 months. But in December 2013, when it announced that it would soon start that process, the economy was weaker, with higher unemployment and low inflation.</p>\n<p>Officials had another reason for caution back then because they were stunned by a surge in long-term Treasury yields, dubbed the “taper tantrum,” that occurred in the middle of 2013, after then-Chair Ben Bernanke suggested they might soon reduce their asset purchases.</p>\n<p>The Fed now finds itself in a very different position. The economy is growing rapidly. Unemployment is much lower, at 5.4% in July.Inflation is much hotter. And bond yields have tumbled this year even as the central bank has discussed plans to reduce bond purchases.</p>\n<p>The asset purchases aim to stimulate the economy by holding down long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending. Mr. Rosengren pointed to recentsurges in home pricesas evidence that the program may be nearing a point of diminishing returns. “If you can’t get housing materials and you can’t get construction workers to come back on site, but we do increase demand for housing, then it doesn’t do much for our employment mandate—but it does increase housing prices more than it otherwise would,” he said.</p>\n<p>Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan agreed. “These purchases are very well designed to stimulate demand, but we don’t have a demand problem,” he said in an interview. “In the aftermath of the Great Recession, we did. So I don’t want to use the playbook from 2009 to 2013.”</p>\n<p>Some other officials have argued for more patience. Fed governor Lael Brainard indicated last month she wanted to see September hiring data, which won’t be available until early October, before deciding. That would hold off any tapering until no sooner than the Fed’s Nov. 2-3 meeting.</p>\n<p>San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said in an interview last week she thinks the economy should support “beginning to taper later this year, or maybe next.” Labor markets are “really strong—getting stronger,” she said.</p>\n<p>Ms. Daly said it was too soon to say how the Fed should reduce the purchases. “Those things haven’t been decided,” she said.</p>\n<p>Likewise, Mr. Evans didn’t say how soon he thought the Fed would need to wind down its purchases. He expects inflation to fall back to 2% by the end of next year, which would argue for less urgency to withdraw monetary stimulus.</p>\n<p>“My own outlook is, we’re gonna be more challenged in getting inflation to confidently stay up in the 2% or 2.1% or 2.2%” range, he said. “If others had more confidence that inflation was going to be higher on a sustainable basis, then that…quicker tapering could be the right path.”</p>\n<p>Fed officials have yet to decidewhether to reduce their purchasesof Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities at the same pace.</p>\n<p>Mr. Rosengren said he would prefer to reduce them monthly by equal quantities. Because the Fed is buying twice as many Treasurys as mortgage-backed securities, that would result in mortgage-bond purchases ending in half the time as Treasury purchases.</p>\n<p>Mr. Kaplan said he favors reducing the purchases of both types of bonds over the course of eight months, or by $10 billion for Treasurys and $5 billion for mortgage-backed securities a month. “That strikes me as the most prudent course: start soon, and go gradually, and for me, gradually means eight months,” he said.</p>\n<p>St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he wants to start paring assets in October and conclude the program by March, reducing the purchases of Treasurys by $20 billion a month and mortgage bonds by $10 billion a month. Fed governor Christopher Waller has outlined a similar preference.</p>\n<p>Even though “that would be a fairly rapid pullout of the asset-purchase program,” Mr. Bullard said in an interview last week that he thought it would give the Fed more flexibility to determine whether to raise rates later next year. “I don’t want to have to move too rapidly [to raise rates] because it can be very disruptive, so I think that the pace I’m suggesting would give us a lot more optionality in 2022 if we needed to use it.”</p>\n<p>Mr. Kaplan said by reducing asset purchases sooner, the Fed might be able to wait longer before it has to raise interest rates. “By getting a more appropriate stance of monetary policy now or soon, it might actually allow you to be more flexible and be more patient on how you adjust the federal-funds rate down the road,” he said.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The Fed is set to release on Wednesday minutes of the meeting that could provide further clues about those discussions.\nThe answers are important to financial markets because Fed officials have said they would prefer to conclude the bond-buying program before considering when to raise interest rates from near-zero. At their June 15-16 policy meeting, 13 of 18 Fed officials projected they would raise rates by the end of 2023; seven expected to do so by the end of 2022.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said at a July 28 news conference that the Fed was still “a ways away from considering raising interest rates. It’s not something that is on our radar screen right now.”\nA recent run ofstrong hiring reportshave strengthened the case for the Fed to announce at its next meeting, Sept. 21-22, its intentions to start tapering, potentially as soon as its following meeting in November.\n“I do expect we are going to be at the point where we’ve seen substantial further progress…probably later this year,” said Chicago Fed President Charles Evans in avirtual roundtable with reporterslast week.\nBoston Fed President Eric Rosengren said in an interview he expected to see by the Sept. 21-22 meeting enough job growth to meet the criteria for reducing bond purchases. “That would set up some time this fall a possible tapering that is dependent on the Delta variant and other variants not slowing down the labor market substantially,” he said in an interview last week. Mr. Rosengren said he hopes that if strong economic growth continues, “we’re done with the tapering program…towards the middle of next year.”\nThe Fed wound down its previous bond-buying program very gradually, reducing its purchases over the course of 10 months. But in December 2013, when it announced that it would soon start that process, the economy was weaker, with higher unemployment and low inflation.\nOfficials had another reason for caution back then because they were stunned by a surge in long-term Treasury yields, dubbed the “taper tantrum,” that occurred in the middle of 2013, after then-Chair Ben Bernanke suggested they might soon reduce their asset purchases.\nThe Fed now finds itself in a very different position. The economy is growing rapidly. Unemployment is much lower, at 5.4% in July.Inflation is much hotter. And bond yields have tumbled this year even as the central bank has discussed plans to reduce bond purchases.\nThe asset purchases aim to stimulate the economy by holding down long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending. Mr. Rosengren pointed to recentsurges in home pricesas evidence that the program may be nearing a point of diminishing returns. “If you can’t get housing materials and you can’t get construction workers to come back on site, but we do increase demand for housing, then it doesn’t do much for our employment mandate—but it does increase housing prices more than it otherwise would,” he said.\nDallas Fed President Robert Kaplan agreed. “These purchases are very well designed to stimulate demand, but we don’t have a demand problem,” he said in an interview. “In the aftermath of the Great Recession, we did. So I don’t want to use the playbook from 2009 to 2013.”\nSome other officials have argued for more patience. Fed governor Lael Brainard indicated last month she wanted to see September hiring data, which won’t be available until early October, before deciding. That would hold off any tapering until no sooner than the Fed’s Nov. 2-3 meeting.\nSan Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said in an interview last week she thinks the economy should support “beginning to taper later this year, or maybe next.” Labor markets are “really strong—getting stronger,” she said.\nMs. Daly said it was too soon to say how the Fed should reduce the purchases. “Those things haven’t been decided,” she said.\nLikewise, Mr. Evans didn’t say how soon he thought the Fed would need to wind down its purchases. He expects inflation to fall back to 2% by the end of next year, which would argue for less urgency to withdraw monetary stimulus.\n“My own outlook is, we’re gonna be more challenged in getting inflation to confidently stay up in the 2% or 2.1% or 2.2%” range, he said. “If others had more confidence that inflation was going to be higher on a sustainable basis, then that…quicker tapering could be the right path.”\nFed officials have yet to decidewhether to reduce their purchasesof Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities at the same pace.\nMr. Rosengren said he would prefer to reduce them monthly by equal quantities. Because the Fed is buying twice as many Treasurys as mortgage-backed securities, that would result in mortgage-bond purchases ending in half the time as Treasury purchases.\nMr. Kaplan said he favors reducing the purchases of both types of bonds over the course of eight months, or by $10 billion for Treasurys and $5 billion for mortgage-backed securities a month. “That strikes me as the most prudent course: start soon, and go gradually, and for me, gradually means eight months,” he said.\nSt. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he wants to start paring assets in October and conclude the program by March, reducing the purchases of Treasurys by $20 billion a month and mortgage bonds by $10 billion a month. Fed governor Christopher Waller has outlined a similar preference.\nEven though “that would be a fairly rapid pullout of the asset-purchase program,” Mr. Bullard said in an interview last week that he thought it would give the Fed more flexibility to determine whether to raise rates later next year. “I don’t want to have to move too rapidly [to raise rates] because it can be very disruptive, so I think that the pace I’m suggesting would give us a lot more optionality in 2022 if we needed to use it.”\nMr. Kaplan said by reducing asset purchases sooner, the Fed might be able to wait longer before it has to raise interest rates. “By getting a more appropriate stance of monetary policy now or soon, it might actually allow you to be more flexible and be more patient on how you adjust the federal-funds rate down the road,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":161,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890827097,"gmtCreate":1628093338919,"gmtModify":1633753638330,"author":{"id":"4090594976982710","authorId":"4090594976982710","name":"Anna79","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15e28029cdd3aac4683d961154d6ab19","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4090594976982710","authorIdStr":"4090594976982710"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"//<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/4090594976982710\">@Anna79</a>:😅","listText":"//<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/4090594976982710\">@Anna79</a>:😅","text":"//@Anna79:😅","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/890827097","repostId":"1127899199","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
