And why not? The newly listed company has left the likes of Ford, General Motors, and Tesla behind in launching an all-electric pickup truck. It has also got more than 55,000 pre-orders for its pickup truck and SUV.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Yet, Rivian is at a very early stage, having delivered just 156 vehicles through October. Let's look at where the company and its stock could be five years from now.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>Rivian's growth plans</b></p>\n<p>Rivian plans to focus on the pickup truck, SUV, and commercial van market segments in the near term. Its focus geographies initially include the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe. In the long term, the company hopes to grow by entering new key markets as well as developing adjacent products. Rivian has started commercial production of its pickup truck R1T and plans to start production of its SUV -- R1S -- and electric delivery van in December.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Rivian's production facility in Normal, Illinois, has an estimated annual production capacity of 150,000 units. In addition to 55,000 pre-orders for R1T and R1S, Rivian has an agreement with Amazon for 100,000 delivery vans through 2030. However, Rivian expects to deliver all of the vans by as early as 2025.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>It expects to deliver its pre-order backlog of 55,000 R1Ts and R1Ss by the end of 2023. Further, Rivian expects to reach an annual production rate of 150,000 vehicles (including commercial vehicles) by late 2023.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>If things go as per Rivian's plan, the company would have delivered 55,000 pickup trucks and SUVs, in addition to, say, half of its 100,000 commercial delivery vans by the end of 2023. In five years, it could be producing 150,000 vehicles annually and might already be setting up a new production facility.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>What could support Rivian's growth</b></p>\n<p>In addition to broader governmental and regulatory support for EVs, Rivian has some distinct advantages. First, it is targeting the pickup trucks and SUVs segment, which are among the highest-volume and most profitable auto segments. Similarly, e-commerce growth is pushing the demand for delivery vehicles -- another of Rivian's key segments. Logistics and e-commerce companies are transforming their fleets to electric vehicles, anticipating increased regulatory requirements for the same.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Further, Rivian's own charging network may help its growth. Rivian hopes to appeal to its potential customers and build confidence in the brand through its own network of chargers. In sync with the company's offerings, it plans to place chargers at adventurous destinations, in addition to interstates. By the end of 2023, the company plans to install more than 3,500 fast chargers at over 600 sites. Additionally, the company intends to install more than 10,000 level 2 chargers through 2023.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Rivian's direct-to-customer model, with no dealer network, along with its own charging and service network could help it deliver an end-to-end differentiated customer experience. Over time, the company hopes to monetize this through high-value services and subscription opportunities, including membership and software services, financing, insurance, charging, maintenance, repair, as well as Rivian's own resale program.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Finally, the recent interest in Rivian shows that it has already managed to become a known brand without actually spending much on branding.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>Is Rivian stock a buy?</b></p>\n<p>All of these factors make Rivian look like an interesting company. However, it is worth noting that these factors could already be priced into the stock. With a market valuation of more than $100 billion, investors are pricing Rivian for perfection.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>In addition to execution risks, challenges from competition also need to be considered. As an example, Ford already has nearly 200,000 reservations for its upcoming electric pickup truck, F-150 Lightning. Similarly, upcoming electric pickup trucks from Tesla, General Motors, and several others will further heat up competition for Rivian. Rivian still needs to prove that it can deliver vehicles profitably and scale up production as planned.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Overall, though Rivian looks promising, its stock price could already be reflecting that.

This August, Meta's AR and VR chief Andrew Bosworth said he was \"convinced\" it would hit that threshold earlier than it \"had initially expected.\"</p>\n<p>Meta didn't say anything else about hitting that target during last quarter's&nbsp;conference call, but it attributed the 195% year-over-year growth of its \"others\" segment to \"strong Quest 2 sales.\" However,<b>Qualcomm</b>(NASDAQ:QCOM)&nbsp;seemingly let the cat of the bag in a recent investor day presentation, when CEO Cristiano Amon casually noted that Oculus had shipped 10 million Quest 2 headsets since its launch last October.</p>\n<p>In a subsequent statement, Qualcomm said that figure was actually based on third-party estimates and wasn't \"meant as an official disclosure of sales numbers by Meta or Qualcomm.\" But even if those numbers weren't official, they give investors a much clearer view of Meta's opaque Oculus segment.</p>\n<p>Why does Meta want to sell 10 million headsets?</p>\n<p>Meta bought Oculus VR in 2014, and it launched its first commercial headset, the Oculus Rift, in 2016. However, the Rift remained a niche gaming device that needed to be tethered to a high-end PC.</p>\n<p>To address those limitations, Meta launched its first wireless VR headset, the Oculus Go, in 2018. It wasn't as powerful as the Rift, but it didn't need to be tethered to a PC or mobile device. It followed up the Go with the more powerful Oculus Quest in 2019, and it launched the Quest 2 -- which was even more powerful, lighter, and had better controllers -- last year.</p>\n<p>The success of the Quest headsets enabled Meta to sell more&nbsp;VR games&nbsp;and experiences on the platform. Last May, it said the Quest platform had surpassed $100 million in VR content sales. This January, it said that over 60 Oculus Quest titles had surpassed $1 million in revenue. This October, it said&nbsp;<i>Beat Saber</i>-- the hit VR rhythm game it acquired in late 2019 -- had exceeded $100 million in lifetime sales on the Quest platform alone.</p>\n<p>Those sales figures are tiny compared to Meta's estimated revenue of $117.8 billion this year. Ten million headsets might also sound paltry compared to other gaming platforms.<b>Nintendo</b>, for example, has shipped nearly 95 million Switch devices since 2017.</p>\n<p>However, the Quest has still set up the foundations for Meta's push into the \"metaverse\" -- which already includes new augmented reality (AR) devices like its new Ray-Ban smartglasses and Horizon Workrooms, which enable remote workers to hold VR meetings with digital avatars.

But it's dropped plenty of hints along the way.\nTwo years ago, CEO Mark Zuckerberg set a long-term goal of hitting 10 million VR users to become a sustainable software platform for developers. This August, Meta's AR and VR chief Andrew Bosworth said he was \"convinced\" it would hit that threshold earlier than it \"had initially expected.\"\nMeta didn't say anything else about hitting that target during last quarter's conference call, but it attributed the 195% year-over-year growth of its \"others\" segment to \"strong Quest 2 sales.\" However,Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM) seemingly let the cat of the bag in a recent investor day presentation, when CEO Cristiano Amon casually noted that Oculus had shipped 10 million Quest 2 headsets since its launch last October.\nIn a subsequent statement, Qualcomm said that figure was actually based on third-party estimates and wasn't \"meant as an official disclosure of sales numbers by Meta or Qualcomm.\" But even if those numbers weren't official, they give investors a much clearer view of Meta's opaque Oculus segment.\nWhy does Meta want to sell 10 million headsets?\nMeta bought Oculus VR in 2014, and it launched its first commercial headset, the Oculus Rift, in 2016. However, the Rift remained a niche gaming device that needed to be tethered to a high-end PC.\nTo address those limitations, Meta launched its first wireless VR headset, the Oculus Go, in 2018. It wasn't as powerful as the Rift, but it didn't need to be tethered to a PC or mobile device. It followed up the Go with the more powerful Oculus Quest in 2019, and it launched the Quest 2 -- which was even more powerful, lighter, and had better controllers -- last year.\nThe success of the Quest headsets enabled Meta to sell more VR games and experiences on the platform. Last May, it said the Quest platform had surpassed $100 million in VR content sales. This January, it said that over 60 Oculus Quest titles had surpassed $1 million in revenue. This October, it said Beat Saber-- the hit VR rhythm game it acquired in late 2019 -- had exceeded $100 million in lifetime sales on the Quest platform alone.\nThose sales figures are tiny compared to Meta's estimated revenue of $117.8 billion this year. Ten million headsets might also sound paltry compared to other gaming platforms.Nintendo, for example, has shipped nearly 95 million Switch devices since 2017.\nHowever, the Quest has still set up the foundations for Meta's push into the \"metaverse\" -- which already includes new augmented reality (AR) devices like its new Ray-Ban smartglasses and Horizon Workrooms, which enable remote workers to hold VR meetings with digital avatars. The expansion of that ecosystem could gradually tie together its social networking, AR, and VR platforms, while significantly extending its reach beyond PCs and mobile devices.\nWhy is Qualcomm talking about VR headsets?\nQualcomm's chipsets power the Oculus Go, Quest, and Quest 2 headsets. The Go and first-generation Quest both used Snapdragon mobile system on chips (SoCs), which were commonly used in mobile phones.\nHowever, the second-generation Quest used the new Snapdragon XR2 SoC, which was specifically designed with VR and AR devices in mind. The chipset can be tethered to seven concurrent cameras to track a user's motions and gestures, supports 8K 360-degree videos, provides 3D audio, and supports AI processing features for voice commands.\nQualcomm is selling more VR/AR chips to diversify its core business away from the smartphone market. That market is heavily commoditized, and it's facing intense competition from rivals like MediaTek as well as first-party chipsets from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Apple,Samsung, and Huawei.\nThat's also why Qualcomm has been rolling out new specialized chipsets for wearables, cars, drones, and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices in recent years. None of these chipsets are significantly reducing its dependence on the smartphone market yet, but that could change over the next few years.\nFor example, the global AR and VR market could grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46% between 2021 and 2025, according to Technavio. But the global smartphone market might only grow at a CAGR of 1.7% between 2021 and 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence.\nWe should take those estimates with a grain of salt, but it's easy to see why Qualcomm is so keen to develop new VR chips for Meta. If VR headset sales tale off over the next few years, Qualcomm could dominate that platform with its chips in the same way it became the market leader in smartphone chips.\nSetting up the foundations of the future\nQualcomm's revelation, official or not, indicates Meta's VR business is growing rapidly. It isn't as large as the top gaming consoles yet, but it's gaining momentum and forming the foundations of its metaverse business.\nInvestors shouldn't expect Meta and Qualcomm to generate significant revenue from those efforts in the near future.

The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.4% to 15,84.23.\nWhat's driving the market?\nIt was an ugly day for stock investors during a thinly traded Black Friday session, which was susceptible to big swings on alarming news from public health officials who were assessing a new variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.\nLate in the session, the World Health Organization's technical advisory group assigned the B. 1.1.529 variant of the virus the Greek letter omicron and declared it a \"variant of concern,\" as it did with the delta variant.\nFear of a new variant overshadowed the usual focus on U.S. Black Friday shopping day, which puts the focus on retailers as consumers shop for bargains.\nParticularly notable about the variant is the \"large number of mutations, some of which are concerning,\" the WHO group said in a statement. The mutations could make omicron more resistant to the current batch of vaccines.\nThe discovery of the new COVID strain was announced on Friday by South Africa's health minister Joe Phaahla. He said scientists were concerned because of its high number of mutations and the dramatic surge in infections the country had seen over the past four or five days.\n\"The pandemic and COVID variants remain one of the biggest risks to markets, and are likely to continue to inject volatility over the next year(s),\" wrote Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer and chief market strategist at Truist Advisory Services, in a Friday note. \"It's hard to say at this point how lasting or impactful this latest variant will be for markets,\" the analyst wrote.\nThe omicron strain has been detected in Botswana and in Hong Kong in travelers who had visited South Africa.\n\"The one bull in the China shop that could truly derail the global recovery has always been a new strain of Covid-19 that swept the world and caused the reimposition of mass social retractions,\" said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst, at OANDA, in a note. \"All we know so far is the B. 1.1.529 is heavily mutated but markets are taking no chances.\"\n\"Just when you thought Covid was being controlled in a holiday shortened week,\" said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, in emailed comments.\nTrading around the Thanksgiving holiday is often associated with lower trading volumes as traders typically wait until Monday to return to work. There was no U.S. economic data on the calendar for Friday.\nAfter new cases stabilized at 200 a day, South Africa reported more than 1,200 on Wednesday and 2,465 on Thursday.\nThe U.K. government is banning flights from South Africa along with five other African nations, effective Friday.\n\"Predictably, energy, travel related and financials are the leading decliners and treasuries are rallying,\" wrote Jay Hatfield, CEO and portfolio manager at Infrastructure Capital Management, in emailed comments on Friday.\n\"It makes sense to have a market significant correction given the high level of uncertainty,\" the money manager wrote.\n\"At this stage very little is known,\" Deutsche Bank strategists, led by Jim Reid, told clients in a note. \"Mutations are often less severe so we shouldn't jump to conclusions but there is clearly a lot of concern about this one. Also South Africa is one of the world leaders in sequencing so we are more likely to see this sort of news originate from there than many countries. Suffice to say at this stage no one in markets will have any idea which way this will go.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":634,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":601126910,"gmtCreate":1638499716842,"gmtModify":1638499991007,"author":{"id":"4099650682871160","authorId":"4099650682871160","name":"LLim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4099650682871160","authorIdStr":"4099650682871160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/601126910","repostId":"2188351763","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2188351763","pubTimestamp":1638499437,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188351763?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-03 10:43","market":"other","language":"en","title":"November jobs report preview: Payrolls likely grew by 548,000 as unemployment rate falls to 4.5%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2188351763","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"The November jobs report is expected to underscore the tightness of the present labor market, with p","content":"<p>The November jobs report is expected to underscore the tightness of the present labor market, with payroll gains accelerating slightly and the unemployment rate ticking down further during the month.

After much speculation over the fate of Pershing Sq","content":"<p>Hedge fund legend Bill Ackman has some big news. After much speculation over the fate of&nbsp;<b>Pershing Square Tontine Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PSTH</u></b>), Ackman recently announced his&nbsp;plans to launch&nbsp;<b>Pershing Square SPARC Holdings</b>, a special purpose acquisition rights company. Consequently, shares of PSTH stock are on watch as investors mull over the new proposition.</p>\n<p>So, what exactly is a SPARC?</p>\n<p>A SPARC operates as a modified, opt-in version of a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Investors in PSTH stock who opt in would receive long-dated, transferrable special purpose acquisition rights (SPAR) warrants to acquire common stock in the new company. Essentially, SPAR warrants would give holders the opportunity to invest in the company’s future merger transaction. Pershing Square SPARC Holdings and the SPARs are not yet publicly tradable and still need approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the&nbsp;<b>New York Stock Exchange</b>.</p>\n<p>With that said, many are still confused about the implications of this on PSTH stock. Let’s take a deeper look at what investors need to know.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Bill Ackman’s SPARC: How Will It Affect PSTH Stock?</p>\n<ol>\n <li>One thing to note is that this company is not a SPAC, and it is not raising capital from investors at this time. Instead, it is issuing warrants to holders of Class A PSTH stock, as well as PSTH warrant holders.</li>\n <li>Like a SPAC, however, Bill Ackman’s new SPARC does intend to complete a merger with a private company to take it public. Once it has identified a target, it will issue a prospectus to the SPARC warrant holders. Those holders will then have the option to exercise their warrants to receive shares in the new company.</li>\n <li>This is one of the main benefits of the SPARC, as it will not hold investors’ money while searching for a merger target.</li>\n <li>Additionally, the SPARC will not have a time limit to identify a target and close its merger. Right now, most SPACs must complete this process within two years.</li>\n <li>As&nbsp;<i>InvestorPlace</i>contributor Mark Hake noted, Ackman’s SPARChas not yet set an exercise price for the warrants, although SPARs will have a minimum exercise price of $10. Instead, the company will set an exercise price once it identifies a target and how much public capital it wants to raise. For instance, its filing with the SEC notes it could choose to set the exercise price at $20. Hake argues this makes it difficult to value the SPARC as a security.</li>\n <li>At the minimum $10 exercise price, the SPARC would raise proceeds of $2,444,444,440.</li>\n <li>Because of this structure, Hake (and Ackman) recognize it may be hard for the SPARC to gain regulatory approval. The current plan is for the SPARC warrants to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.</li>\n <li>However, if that listing is not approved, the SPARC warrants would trade on the over-the-counter markets.</li>\n <li>So when and how will the SPARC issue warrants? According to the filing, it depends on what happens with the PSTH SPAC, which is still searching for a merger partner.</li>\n <li>If PSTH has initiated its merger by the deadline, the SPARC will issue its warrants to outstanding PSTH stock holders.

After much speculation over the fate of Pershing Square Tontine Holdings(NYSE:PSTH), Ackman recently announced his plans to launch Pershing Square SPARC Holdings, a special purpose acquisition rights company. Consequently, shares of PSTH stock are on watch as investors mull over the new proposition.\nSo, what exactly is a SPARC?\nA SPARC operates as a modified, opt-in version of a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Investors in PSTH stock who opt in would receive long-dated, transferrable special purpose acquisition rights (SPAR) warrants to acquire common stock in the new company. Essentially, SPAR warrants would give holders the opportunity to invest in the company’s future merger transaction. Pershing Square SPARC Holdings and the SPARs are not yet publicly tradable and still need approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New York Stock Exchange.\nWith that said, many are still confused about the implications of this on PSTH stock. Let’s take a deeper look at what investors need to know.\n\nBill Ackman’s SPARC: How Will It Affect PSTH Stock?\n\nOne thing to note is that this company is not a SPAC, and it is not raising capital from investors at this time. Instead, it is issuing warrants to holders of Class A PSTH stock, as well as PSTH warrant holders.\nLike a SPAC, however, Bill Ackman’s new SPARC does intend to complete a merger with a private company to take it public. Once it has identified a target, it will issue a prospectus to the SPARC warrant holders. Those holders will then have the option to exercise their warrants to receive shares in the new company.\nThis is one of the main benefits of the SPARC, as it will not hold investors’ money while searching for a merger target.\nAdditionally, the SPARC will not have a time limit to identify a target and close its merger. Right now, most SPACs must complete this process within two years.\nAs InvestorPlacecontributor Mark Hake noted, Ackman’s SPARChas not yet set an exercise price for the warrants, although SPARs will have a minimum exercise price of $10. Instead, the company will set an exercise price once it identifies a target and how much public capital it wants to raise. For instance, its filing with the SEC notes it could choose to set the exercise price at $20. Hake argues this makes it difficult to value the SPARC as a security.\nAt the minimum $10 exercise price, the SPARC would raise proceeds of $2,444,444,440.\nBecause of this structure, Hake (and Ackman) recognize it may be hard for the SPARC to gain regulatory approval. The current plan is for the SPARC warrants to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.\nHowever, if that listing is not approved, the SPARC warrants would trade on the over-the-counter markets.\nSo when and how will the SPARC issue warrants? According to the filing, it depends on what happens with the PSTH SPAC, which is still searching for a merger partner.\nIf PSTH has initiated its merger by the deadline, the SPARC will issue its warrants to outstanding PSTH stock holders. If it fails to initiate a merger by the deadline, PSTH will have to liquidate the money in its trust and return that to shareholders. Ackman’s SPARC would then issue one SPAR for each of the 200 million PSTH shares outstanding.\nAckman’s SPARC estimates that the SEC will declare its registration statement effective around the same time PSTH approaches its merger deadline. This will kick off the process of issuing SPARC warrants.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":559,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":603268406,"gmtCreate":1638414651100,"gmtModify":1638415039787,"author":{"id":"4099650682871160","authorId":"4099650682871160","name":"LLim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4099650682871160","authorIdStr":"4099650682871160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603268406","repostId":"1184487758","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184487758","pubTimestamp":1638414203,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1184487758?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:03","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Suncity Plunges Up to 20% After Distancing From Junket Operation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184487758","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Suncity Group Holdings Ltd. plunged as much as 20% as it resumed trading in Hong Kong on Thursday, c","content":"<p>Suncity Group Holdings Ltd.&nbsp;plunged as much as 20% as it resumed trading in Hong Kong on Thursday, continuing a selloff even after distancing itself from its former chairman’s junket operations in Macau.</p>\n<p>The stock had a volatile start to the morning, swinging between falling and rising as much as 6% by 10 a.m. It was down 9.9% as of 10:14 a.m.</p>\n<p>The group suspended trading on Wednesday after slumping 48% the previous day, the steepest drop since 2008.

But it's dropped plenty of hints along the way.</p>\n<p>Two years ago, CEO Mark Zuckerberg set a long-term goal of hitting 10 million VR users to become a sustainable software platform for developers. This August, Meta's AR and VR chief Andrew Bosworth said he was \"convinced\" it would hit that threshold earlier than it \"had initially expected.\"</p>\n<p>Meta didn't say anything else about hitting that target during last quarter's&nbsp;conference call, but it attributed the 195% year-over-year growth of its \"others\" segment to \"strong Quest 2 sales.\" However,<b>Qualcomm</b>(NASDAQ:QCOM)&nbsp;seemingly let the cat of the bag in a recent investor day presentation, when CEO Cristiano Amon casually noted that Oculus had shipped 10 million Quest 2 headsets since its launch last October.</p>\n<p>In a subsequent statement, Qualcomm said that figure was actually based on third-party estimates and wasn't \"meant as an official disclosure of sales numbers by Meta or Qualcomm.\" But even if those numbers weren't official, they give investors a much clearer view of Meta's opaque Oculus segment.</p>\n<p>Why does Meta want to sell 10 million headsets?</p>\n<p>Meta bought Oculus VR in 2014, and it launched its first commercial headset, the Oculus Rift, in 2016. However, the Rift remained a niche gaming device that needed to be tethered to a high-end PC.</p>\n<p>To address those limitations, Meta launched its first wireless VR headset, the Oculus Go, in 2018. It wasn't as powerful as the Rift, but it didn't need to be tethered to a PC or mobile device. It followed up the Go with the more powerful Oculus Quest in 2019, and it launched the Quest 2 -- which was even more powerful, lighter, and had better controllers -- last year.</p>\n<p>The success of the Quest headsets enabled Meta to sell more&nbsp;VR games&nbsp;and experiences on the platform. Last May, it said the Quest platform had surpassed $100 million in VR content sales. This January, it said that over 60 Oculus Quest titles had surpassed $1 million in revenue. This October, it said&nbsp;<i>Beat Saber</i>-- the hit VR rhythm game it acquired in late 2019 -- had exceeded $100 million in lifetime sales on the Quest platform alone.</p>\n<p>Those sales figures are tiny compared to Meta's estimated revenue of $117.8 billion this year. Ten million headsets might also sound paltry compared to other gaming platforms.<b>Nintendo</b>, for example, has shipped nearly 95 million Switch devices since 2017.</p>\n<p>However, the Quest has still set up the foundations for Meta's push into the \"metaverse\" -- which already includes new augmented reality (AR) devices like its new Ray-Ban smartglasses and Horizon Workrooms, which enable remote workers to hold VR meetings with digital avatars. The expansion of that ecosystem could gradually tie together its social networking, AR, and VR platforms, while significantly extending its reach beyond PCs and mobile devices.</p>\n<p>Why is Qualcomm talking about VR headsets?</p>\n<p>Qualcomm's chipsets power the Oculus Go, Quest, and Quest 2 headsets. The Go and first-generation Quest both used Snapdragon mobile system on chips (SoCs), which were commonly used in mobile phones.</p>\n<p>However, the second-generation Quest used the new Snapdragon XR2 SoC, which was specifically designed with VR and AR devices in mind. The chipset can be tethered to seven concurrent cameras to track a user's motions and gestures, supports 8K 360-degree videos, provides 3D audio, and supports AI processing features for voice commands.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm is selling more VR/AR chips to diversify its core business away from the smartphone market. That market is heavily commoditized, and it's facing intense competition from rivals like&nbsp;<b>MediaTek</b>&nbsp;as well as first-party chipsets from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like&nbsp;<b>Apple</b>,<b>Samsung</b>, and&nbsp;<b>Huawei</b>.</p>\n<p>That's also why Qualcomm has been rolling out new specialized chipsets for wearables, cars, drones, and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices in recent years. None of these chipsets are significantly reducing its dependence on the smartphone market yet, but that could change over the next few years.</p>\n<p>For example, the global AR and VR market could grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46% between 2021 and 2025, according to Technavio. But the global smartphone market might only grow at a CAGR of 1.7% between 2021 and 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence.</p>\n<p>We should take those estimates with a grain of salt, but it's easy to see why Qualcomm is so keen to develop new VR chips for Meta.

But it's dropped plenty of hints along the way.\nTwo years ago, CEO Mark Zuckerberg set a long-term goal of hitting 10 million VR users to become a sustainable software platform for developers. This August, Meta's AR and VR chief Andrew Bosworth said he was \"convinced\" it would hit that threshold earlier than it \"had initially expected.\"\nMeta didn't say anything else about hitting that target during last quarter's conference call, but it attributed the 195% year-over-year growth of its \"others\" segment to \"strong Quest 2 sales.\" However,Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM) seemingly let the cat of the bag in a recent investor day presentation, when CEO Cristiano Amon casually noted that Oculus had shipped 10 million Quest 2 headsets since its launch last October.\nIn a subsequent statement, Qualcomm said that figure was actually based on third-party estimates and wasn't \"meant as an official disclosure of sales numbers by Meta or Qualcomm.\" But even if those numbers weren't official, they give investors a much clearer view of Meta's opaque Oculus segment.\nWhy does Meta want to sell 10 million headsets?\nMeta bought Oculus VR in 2014, and it launched its first commercial headset, the Oculus Rift, in 2016. However, the Rift remained a niche gaming device that needed to be tethered to a high-end PC.\nTo address those limitations, Meta launched its first wireless VR headset, the Oculus Go, in 2018. It wasn't as powerful as the Rift, but it didn't need to be tethered to a PC or mobile device. It followed up the Go with the more powerful Oculus Quest in 2019, and it launched the Quest 2 -- which was even more powerful, lighter, and had better controllers -- last year.\nThe success of the Quest headsets enabled Meta to sell more VR games and experiences on the platform. Last May, it said the Quest platform had surpassed $100 million in VR content sales. This January, it said that over 60 Oculus Quest titles had surpassed $1 million in revenue. This October, it said Beat Saber-- the hit VR rhythm game it acquired in late 2019 -- had exceeded $100 million in lifetime sales on the Quest platform alone.\nThose sales figures are tiny compared to Meta's estimated revenue of $117.8 billion this year. Ten million headsets might also sound paltry compared to other gaming platforms.Nintendo, for example, has shipped nearly 95 million Switch devices since 2017.\nHowever, the Quest has still set up the foundations for Meta's push into the \"metaverse\" -- which already includes new augmented reality (AR) devices like its new Ray-Ban smartglasses and Horizon Workrooms, which enable remote workers to hold VR meetings with digital avatars. The expansion of that ecosystem could gradually tie together its social networking, AR, and VR platforms, while significantly extending its reach beyond PCs and mobile devices.\nWhy is Qualcomm talking about VR headsets?\nQualcomm's chipsets power the Oculus Go, Quest, and Quest 2 headsets. The Go and first-generation Quest both used Snapdragon mobile system on chips (SoCs), which were commonly used in mobile phones.\nHowever, the second-generation Quest used the new Snapdragon XR2 SoC, which was specifically designed with VR and AR devices in mind. The chipset can be tethered to seven concurrent cameras to track a user's motions and gestures, supports 8K 360-degree videos, provides 3D audio, and supports AI processing features for voice commands.\nQualcomm is selling more VR/AR chips to diversify its core business away from the smartphone market. That market is heavily commoditized, and it's facing intense competition from rivals like MediaTek as well as first-party chipsets from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Apple,Samsung, and Huawei.\nThat's also why Qualcomm has been rolling out new specialized chipsets for wearables, cars, drones, and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices in recent years. None of these chipsets are significantly reducing its dependence on the smartphone market yet, but that could change over the next few years.\nFor example, the global AR and VR market could grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46% between 2021 and 2025, according to Technavio. But the global smartphone market might only grow at a CAGR of 1.7% between 2021 and 2026, according to Mordor Intelligence.\nWe should take those estimates with a grain of salt, but it's easy to see why Qualcomm is so keen to develop new VR chips for Meta. If VR headset sales tale off over the next few years, Qualcomm could dominate that platform with its chips in the same way it became the market leader in smartphone chips.\nSetting up the foundations of the future\nQualcomm's revelation, official or not, indicates Meta's VR business is growing rapidly. It isn't as large as the top gaming consoles yet, but it's gaining momentum and forming the foundations of its metaverse business.\nInvestors shouldn't expect Meta and Qualcomm to generate significant revenue from those efforts in the near future. But over the long term, they could significantly transform the business models of both companies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":692,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":604101079,"gmtCreate":1639356202137,"gmtModify":1639361240753,"author":{"id":"4099650682871160","authorId":"4099650682871160","name":"LLim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4099650682871160","authorIdStr":"4099650682871160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/604101079","repostId":"1103000405","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103000405","pubTimestamp":1639355233,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103000405?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-13 08:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Where Will Rivian Be in 5 Years?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103000405","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"$Rivian Automotive, Inc.$ got loads of attention and interest after its recent IPO.

In fact, many of these EV startups aren't delivering or producing electric vehicles yet.</p>\n<p>However, two startups have begun selling their first electric vehicles, bringing in revenue.<b>Lucid Motors</b>(LCID) began deliveries of the Air, a luxury electric sedan Oct. 30.<b>Rivian Automotive</b>(RIVN) has also started delivering the R1T, an electric pickup, with the R1S SUV due before year-end.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chinese EV stocks like&nbsp;<b>Nio</b>(NIO),<b>Xpeng</b>(XPEV) and&nbsp;<b>Li Auto</b>(LI) sell tens of thousands of vehicles, but are unprofitable for now.

But these stocks had the best mix of fundamentals and technicals, as of Nov. 15.</p>\n<p>Tesla stock&nbsp;has an IBDComposite Rating&nbsp;of 99 and anEPS Ratingof 72. Shares are extended from a 900.50buy point, meaning they are not in a properbuy zone. TSLA stock slid sharply last week.CEO Elon Musk unloaded nearly $7 billion of shares. Musk is likely to sell even more, though the timing is unclear.</p>\n<p>The top auto and EV stock by market cap predicts 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries, with 2021 expected to be faster than that pace. In 2020, deliveries grew 36% to 499,647. Its first electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, is due in late 2022. The newModel S Plaid is Telsa's fastest car yet, going from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than two seconds.</p>\n<p>GM stock&nbsp;has an IBD Composite Rating of 80 and an EPS Rating of 43. Shares are out of range from a 58.70 buy point off adouble-bottom base, according to&nbsp;Market&nbsp;Smith chart analysis. On Nov. 17, GM will open its Factory Zero all-electric assembly plant in Michigan.General Motors on June 16 again hiked its spending on electric and autonomous vehiclesto $35 billion through 2025. It aims to launch 30 new EVs around the world by then. Those vehicles will include a Hummer electric truck, set to arrive in late 2021; luxury Cadillac electric SUV, coming by mid-2022; and a Hummer electric SUV, due by early 2023.</p>\n<p>Ford stock&nbsp;has a Composite Rating of 88 and an EPS Rating of 36. Shares are far extended from a 16.55 entry. The company recently&nbsp;reinstated the Ford stock dividend and hiked full-year outlook. In late May,Ford hiked spending on electric vehicles to more than $30 billionby 2025, and expects 40% of its global sales to be fully electric by 2030. Its goal is to launch 16 fully electric cars by 2022. Ford has received 150,000 reservations for the F-150 Lightning, its first electric truck. That Cybertruck rival is due by mid-2022. Ford also owns 12% of Rivian.</p>\n<p>Lucid stock&nbsp;has a Composite Rating of 62 and an EPS Rating of 4. Lucid stock is far beyond buying range from a 28.49 cup-with-handle entry. On Monday,the new Lucid Air EV won&nbsp;MotorTrend's coveted \"2022 Car of the Year\" award, ahead of Lucid's first earnings report. Red-hot Lucid went on a tear in the past weeks after starting its first EV deliveries. The startup should start generating revenue while profits are still a way off. Lucid's Air Dream edition outguns the longest-range Tesla car by more than 100 miles. The Air Dream starts at $169,000, with more affordable versions to follow.</p>\n<p><b>BYD</b>(BYDDF) has no Composite Rating and an EPS Rating of 36, but it is profitable. Shares are extended from a 35.35 double-bottom entry. The Chinese car and battery giant is making a big shift to electrification, which shows early signs of success.October sales of BYD's electric and hybrid-electric vehicles more than tripled, rising by roughly 10,000 for a fifth straight month. BYD, a long-time holding of Warren Buffett's&nbsp;<b>BerkshireHathaway</b>(BRKB), also has begun selling EVs in Norway, starting with the Tang SUV.</p>\n<p>Xpeng stock&nbsp;has a Composite Rating of 61 and an EPS Rating of 7. Shares are back below a 48.08 buy point in a choppy cup base. Another EV startup, China's Xpeng also more than tripled October EV sales, continuing a hot sales streak.<b>Alibaba</b>(BABA)-backed Xpeng already sells two electric SUVs and two electric sedans, an impressive lineup for a young EV company. A new flagship SUV, possibly called the G-7, may be coming in 2022, along with a highly advanced driver-assist system and a self-driving car service.</p>\n<p>In the near term,EV stocks will continue feeling the squeezefrom the global chip shortage that is affecting the overall auto industry. But longer term, more government support is likely headed for electric vehicles, while prices are coming down.</p>","source":"lsy1610612141385","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>These Are The 6 Best EV Stocks To Buy And Watch Now</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\">\nThese Are The 6 Best EV Stocks To Buy And Watch Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-11-16 14:48 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.investors.com/news/best-ev-stocks-buy-now-electric-cars/?src=A00220><strong>Investor's Business Daily</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>EV stocks have multiplied in Tesla's (TSLA) wake and aselectric cars look to go mainstream— but not all are created equal.Some car stocks are more readythan others for an EV future.

The mutations could make omicron more resistant to the current batch of vaccines.</p>\n<p>The discovery of the new COVID strain was announced on Friday by South Africa's health minister Joe Phaahla.
