Believe it or not, that $100-billion-plus net worth ","content":"<p>Warren Buffett is worth more than $100 billion. Believe it or not, that $100-billion-plus net worth didn’t come out of thin air. Rather, he earned it as one of the greatest investors of all time. As such, his widespread success and wisdom has influenced countless investors over the ages — myself included.</p>\n<p>But now it’s time to question the old ways. It’s time to look for other investing influencers to track …<i>it’s time to develop a new set of investing rules</i>.</p>\n<p>If you’re anything like me, Buffett’s rules of investing — his way of defining good businesses — still drives at least some part of your thinking. But the beauty of knowing the rules is understanding how and when to break them.I bet I’m not the only one who has broken, or at the very least<i>bent</i>, some of Buffett’s rules over the years.</p>\n<p>This rule-breaking has been particularly important in a post coronavirus world. After all, the novel coronavirus pandemic changed the way we all look at stocks. Whether we’re fast-money traders, meme-players, short-sellers or speculators, we’ve all likely experienced what it’s like to pick a winner.</p>\n<p>That quest for a little extra edge has many retail investors diversifying their investments. It also has them hand-picking stocks in emerging growth areas. Remember that20-slot punch card Buffettgave us? If you’ve dabbled in growth stocks over the last year, your portfolio probably looks like a paper punch ballot from the 2000 Bush-Gore Florida recount …<i>more than a few extra hanging chads</i>.</p>\n<p>More recently, retail investors have become much more diversified. So should we worship a new fund manager now?Here’s a place to start.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73ab062cea0fd08ffae58971d246b6e4\" tg-width=\"639\" tg-height=\"257\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: InvestorPlace via Twitter</span></p>\n<p>The results of a recent<i>InvestorPlace</i>twitter poll suggest that the crowd favorite is growth investing messiah Cathie Wood.For those who are less familiar, Wood is theCEO and chief investment officer of ARKInvestment Management.</p>\n<p>Tied for second place are two equally compelling investment warriors. First, we’ve got the (not so mythical) mature unicorn lover Bill Ackman of&nbsp;<b>Pershing Square Tontine Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PSTH</u></b>). Ackman stands right next tothe “most feared man in corporate America,” celebrity activistJeff Smith of&nbsp;<b>StarboardValue Acquisition</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SVAC</u></b>).</p>\n<p>No doubt, these three investors have unique personalities. But they also promote three distinct investing styles, which have made an indelible impression on the way we think about a stock’s intrinsic value.</p>\n<p>From hypergrowth, to growth arbitrage, to “SPAC-tivists,” here’s a closer look at the investing psychology behind these investment styles, along with top stock picks. Ultimately, if we pepper a little bit of Cathie, Bill and Jeff into our own stock-picking, we might make some new rules of investing (and break them again later). Hell, putting it all together, we might even get one step closer to that coveted Buffett net worth.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles: The Hypergrowth Investor</b></p>\n<p><b>StyleMessiah:</b>Cathie Wood&nbsp;<b>Investing MO:</b>Early stage growth stories in massive (and rapidly growing) addressable markets</p>\n<p>Aniconoclastic personalityand buzzy social media following earned Wood a Buffett-like fandom. But out-of-this-worldperformance makes Cathie the reigning investment queen. Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF), the&nbsp;<b>ARK Innovation Fund</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>ARKK</u></b>),holds $22 billion in assets. It also&nbsp;delivered an otherworldly 147% return in 2020.</p>\n<p>Wood made “disruptiveinnovation” a household word. She also invested big (and early) in several massive technology themes — from artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, blockchain, digital wallets to genomics.</p>\n<p>Many of the “Woodstocks” are aggressive, high-beta stocks which experienced meteoric gains last year. For example,<b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>), a big holding in three of Wood’s funds, gained 510% in 2020. (Side note:reports of TSLA’s imminent demise are greatly exaggerated). Wood predicts the electric car company can double its revenue growth over the next 5 years and willsomeday be valued at over $1 trillion. Other ARK gems include&nbsp;<b>Square</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SQ</u></b>),<b>Teladoc Health</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TDOC</u></b>),<b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ROKU</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>).</p>\n<p><b>Winner Takes Most</b></p>\n<p>Another salient trait: Wood invests in technology leaders in a “winner takes most” market. This gives her the confidence to largely ignore valuation and invest in companies whose profits are years if not decades away. That’s most definitely not something Buffett would do.</p>\n<p>While Cathie’s picks worked amazingly well in 2020, the market has been less kind to emerging growth stocksamid rising interest rates. ARK’s total assets aredown to $52 billion (from $60 billion) — largely reflecting a cooling amid a rotation into value names that will benefit from the economic recovery.ARKK and&nbsp;<b>ARK Next Generation Internet ETF</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>ARKW</u></b>) have underperformed the market,down 4% and 2%year to date, respectively (versus a14%gain for the&nbsp;<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>).</p>\n<p>Success has brought about some growing pains. Huge inflows led observers to question ARK’s sizable stakes in small- and mid-cap names and the liquidity of these positions in a downturn.In particular,Wood’s strategy of selling holdings in bigger, more liquid companies during drawdowns and buying less well-traded names fueled fears that ARK would become overexposed to its most speculative bets.Wood has pushed back on concerns about ticket sizes, arguing that the companies she invested in could grow quickly, solving the problem. (Side note: ARKno longer holds a stake bigger than 20% in any stock, down fromthree companiesin February).</p>\n<p><b>A Less-Crowded Easter Egg Hunt</b></p>\n<p>There’s another important bi-product of Cathie’s success: a fairly predictable herd-like chasing behavior.Investors closely follow ARK trades,provided dailya few hours after market close, to see Wood’s endorsements of stocks. That momentum has pushed stocks like data analytics company<b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) into meme-like territory.</p>\n<p>But when that herding behavior continues, that is,when a group of momentum investors chase the same stocks, it does two things.

But for Ackman acolytes, or “Tontards” (as the&nbsp;<b>Reddit</b>&nbsp;crowd calls them), growth and fundamental analysis need not exist separately. In fact, Ackman has shown that buying thesehigh-quality, but mispriced stocks can unlock a<i>double</i>discount. A stock price often doesn’t reflect the intrinsic value of the business. Nor does it often reflect the intrinsic value of the business<i>if it were run better.</i></p>\n<p>Usually, once an Ackman holding makes a few modest tweaks, the business’ earnings and cash flow lever delivers strong upside — and price appreciation for the stock.Take for example, some of Ackman’s mispriced winners like the growth story at&nbsp;<b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CMG</u></b>), or successful turnarounds, such as<b>Lowe’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LOW</u></b>). Oh, and don’t forget the turnarounds ofleisure travel play&nbsp;<b>Hilton</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HLT</u></b>) and tech giant<b>Agilent</b>(NYSE:<b><u>A</u></b>), either.</p>\n<p>In addition to value unlocking, Ackman’s growth arbitrage investing style has other key advantages. First, the portfolio is shielded from momentum-driven volatility caused by changing investor whims. Whereas a portion of Cathie’s portfolio consists of “fast-money” plays like special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and electric vehicle companies, whose fortunes can change very quickly, Ackman’s names tend to be owned by investors with a longer-term investment horizon.</p>\n<p>Second, because these businesses are presently delivering cash flow and earnings, their valuations are more insulated against rising interest rates.</p>\n<p><b>Know When to Fold ‘em</b></p>\n<p>While Wood has been criticized for the concentration of her portfolio, Ackman isn’t afraid to take money off the table. In May, PSTH announced it had exited its wildly successful position in&nbsp;<b>Starbucks</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SBUX</u></b>) to acquire a roughly 6% stake in&nbsp;<b>Domino’s Pizza</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DPZ</u></b>). The thesis: It’s a simple free cash flow business suffering from temporary price dislocation. With a digital delivery infrastructure and the largest owned in-house delivery network, Ackman sees a combination of exceptional economics and the potential for continued share gains.</p>\n<p>For r/PSTH’s16,000-plus Tontards, PSTH stock has been a bumpy ride lately. First there wasAckman’s eyebrow raising decision to use a SPAC to buy a minority stake in another company. This MO didn’t follow the usual SPAC investment pattern, which is to merge with and take its target public. Second, there was this week’s announcement thatPSTH backed out of its deal to buy a 10% stake in mega-music publisher Universal Music Group from<b>Vivendi</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>VIVHY</u></b>).The reason:objections from the Securities and Exchange Commission&nbsp;relating to<b>NYSE</b>listing rules.</p>\n<p>Tontards are spinning a positive narrative. PSTH can conserve its firepower for a larger acquisition. While the identity of the SPAC’s merger target is still unknown, payment companies, includingStripe and Plaidhave been mentioned as potential candidates. The increasing valuation for these expensive unicorns could be another reason for PSTH wanting to maximize its $4 billion cash war chest.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles</b>:<b>The ‘SPAC-tivist’</b></p>\n<p><b>Style Messiah:</b>Jeff Smith</p>\n<p><b>Investing MO:</b>Build stakes in undervalued businesses and force operational and/or strategic changes to unlock value</p>\n<p>There’s another investor with aneye for detecting unrealized potential in companies: activist investor and hedge fund manager Jeff Smith.

In 2014, Starboard ousted the entire board of Olive Garden-owner<b>Darden Restaurants</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DRI</u></b>), a stunning shareholder coup. In less than two years, Smith oversaw a stunning turnaround at the company, resulting in a 40% appreciation in Darden’s stock price.</p>\n<p>Starboard builds stakes in undervalued companies with inefficient management. It then forces them to make important operational changes to correct course and unlock value. About 80% of Starboard Value’s activist campaigns have been profitable, while the fund posted annualized returns of 15.5% through 2014. Famous activist targets include&nbsp;<b>The ODP Company</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ODP</u></b>),<b>Macy’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>M</u></b>) and<b>Papa John’s Pizza</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>PZZA</u></b>).</p>\n<p><b>Finding the Value in Growth</b></p>\n<p>More recently, Smith is trying his hand in SPACs.Starboard Value Acquisition, which raised$360 million in its September 2020 IPO,announced its first merger target, data-center firm Cyxtera Technologies.Formed in 2017, Cyxtera consists of 57 data centers owned by CenturyLink, now known as&nbsp;<b>Lumen Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUMN</u></b>), with four cybersecurity and data analytics companies.</p>\n<p>If Ackman mostly hunts for mature unicorns, Smith’s target is on the younger side.

Believe it or not, that $100-billion-plus net worth didn’t come out of thin air. Rather, he earned it as one of the greatest investors of all time. As such, his widespread success and wisdom has influenced countless investors over the ages — myself included.\nBut now it’s time to question the old ways. It’s time to look for other investing influencers to track …it’s time to develop a new set of investing rules.\nIf you’re anything like me, Buffett’s rules of investing — his way of defining good businesses — still drives at least some part of your thinking. But the beauty of knowing the rules is understanding how and when to break them.I bet I’m not the only one who has broken, or at the very leastbent, some of Buffett’s rules over the years.\nThis rule-breaking has been particularly important in a post coronavirus world. After all, the novel coronavirus pandemic changed the way we all look at stocks. Whether we’re fast-money traders, meme-players, short-sellers or speculators, we’ve all likely experienced what it’s like to pick a winner.\nThat quest for a little extra edge has many retail investors diversifying their investments. It also has them hand-picking stocks in emerging growth areas. Remember that20-slot punch card Buffettgave us? If you’ve dabbled in growth stocks over the last year, your portfolio probably looks like a paper punch ballot from the 2000 Bush-Gore Florida recount …more than a few extra hanging chads.\nMore recently, retail investors have become much more diversified. So should we worship a new fund manager now?Here’s a place to start.\nSource: InvestorPlace via Twitter\nThe results of a recentInvestorPlacetwitter poll suggest that the crowd favorite is growth investing messiah Cathie Wood.For those who are less familiar, Wood is theCEO and chief investment officer of ARKInvestment Management.\nTied for second place are two equally compelling investment warriors. First, we’ve got the (not so mythical) mature unicorn lover Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Tontine Holdings(NYSE:PSTH). Ackman stands right next tothe “most feared man in corporate America,” celebrity activistJeff Smith of StarboardValue Acquisition(NASDAQ:SVAC).\nNo doubt, these three investors have unique personalities. But they also promote three distinct investing styles, which have made an indelible impression on the way we think about a stock’s intrinsic value.\nFrom hypergrowth, to growth arbitrage, to “SPAC-tivists,” here’s a closer look at the investing psychology behind these investment styles, along with top stock picks. Ultimately, if we pepper a little bit of Cathie, Bill and Jeff into our own stock-picking, we might make some new rules of investing (and break them again later). Hell, putting it all together, we might even get one step closer to that coveted Buffett net worth.\nNew Investment Styles: The Hypergrowth Investor\nStyleMessiah:Cathie Wood Investing MO:Early stage growth stories in massive (and rapidly growing) addressable markets\nAniconoclastic personalityand buzzy social media following earned Wood a Buffett-like fandom. But out-of-this-worldperformance makes Cathie the reigning investment queen. Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF), the ARK Innovation Fund(NYSEARCA:ARKK),holds $22 billion in assets. It also delivered an otherworldly 147% return in 2020.\nWood made “disruptiveinnovation” a household word. She also invested big (and early) in several massive technology themes — from artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, blockchain, digital wallets to genomics.\nMany of the “Woodstocks” are aggressive, high-beta stocks which experienced meteoric gains last year. For example,Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA), a big holding in three of Wood’s funds, gained 510% in 2020. (Side note:reports of TSLA’s imminent demise are greatly exaggerated). Wood predicts the electric car company can double its revenue growth over the next 5 years and willsomeday be valued at over $1 trillion. Other ARK gems include Square(NYSE:SQ),Teladoc Health(NYSE:TDOC),Roku(NASDAQ:ROKU) and Shopify(NYSE:SHOP).\nWinner Takes Most\nAnother salient trait: Wood invests in technology leaders in a “winner takes most” market. This gives her the confidence to largely ignore valuation and invest in companies whose profits are years if not decades away. That’s most definitely not something Buffett would do.\nWhile Cathie’s picks worked amazingly well in 2020, the market has been less kind to emerging growth stocksamid rising interest rates. ARK’s total assets aredown to $52 billion (from $60 billion) — largely reflecting a cooling amid a rotation into value names that will benefit from the economic recovery.ARKK and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKW) have underperformed the market,down 4% and 2%year to date, respectively (versus a14%gain for the Nasdaq Composite).\nSuccess has brought about some growing pains. Huge inflows led observers to question ARK’s sizable stakes in small- and mid-cap names and the liquidity of these positions in a downturn.In particular,Wood’s strategy of selling holdings in bigger, more liquid companies during drawdowns and buying less well-traded names fueled fears that ARK would become overexposed to its most speculative bets.Wood has pushed back on concerns about ticket sizes, arguing that the companies she invested in could grow quickly, solving the problem. (Side note: ARKno longer holds a stake bigger than 20% in any stock, down fromthree companiesin February).\nA Less-Crowded Easter Egg Hunt\nThere’s another important bi-product of Cathie’s success: a fairly predictable herd-like chasing behavior.Investors closely follow ARK trades,provided dailya few hours after market close, to see Wood’s endorsements of stocks. That momentum has pushed stocks like data analytics companyPalantir(NYSE:PLTR) into meme-like territory.\nBut when that herding behavior continues, that is,when a group of momentum investors chase the same stocks, it does two things. First, it candrive up the value of stocks without actually analyzing and understanding the underlying valuation of them.Second, it leaves other growth stories relatively undiscovered,like a less crowded Easter Egg hunt. That’s the reason these next two investors are on my radar.\nNew Investment Styles: The Growth Arbitrage Investor\nStyle Messiah:Bill Ackman Investing MO:Price dislocation in high-quality businesses with incremental cash flow potential\nBringing“mature unicorn” back into the investing vernacular while spawninga thousand memes, Bill Ackman has re-defined growth arbitrage investing. Ackman’s SPAC,Pershing Square Tontine Holdingsseeks out investments in durable,proven businesses. These are the kind that Warren Buffett would say have amoataround them.

Oh, and don’t forget the turnarounds ofleisure travel play Hilton(NYSE:HLT) and tech giantAgilent(NYSE:A), either.\nIn addition to value unlocking, Ackman’s growth arbitrage investing style has other key advantages.

Around half of the stocks in the fund are from tech companies, and some of the largest holdings include <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a></b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a></b>, <b>Amazon</b>, and <b>Tesla</b>.</p>\n<p>Because this fund contains largely tech stocks, it does carry more risk -- but also more room for reward. Tech companies can be more volatile than organizations in other industries, but they're also known for their exponential growth.</p>\n<p>One advantage of this ETF is that it has a long track record. It was established in 1999, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the oldest ETFs. Over the past 10 years, it's earned an average rate of return of nearly 20% per year. And since its inception in 1999, its average return is just over 9% per year.</p>\n<h3>2. Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF</h3>\n<p>The <b>Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF</b> (NYSEMKT:SCHG) tracks the <b>Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSS\">Total</a> Stock Market Index</b>. It includes 234 stocks from large companies experiencing faster-than-average growth.</p>\n<p>Because it contains a greater number of stocks, this fund provides more diversification than QQQ. Similar to QQQ, though, it's also focused primarily on the tech industry. Tech stocks make up nearly half of this fund's holdings, though it also includes stocks from a variety of other sectors, such as consumer discretionary, communication services, and healthcare.</p>\n<p>This ETF was launched in 2009, so it doesn't have as long a history as some other ETFs. However, since its inception, it's earned an average rate of return of around 17% per year.</p>\n<p>Considering we've been experiencing a phenomenal bull market over the past decade, that type of growth may not be sustainable over the next several decades. But because growth ETFs are designed to see above-average growth, this ETF may still earn substantial returns over time.</p>\n<h3>3. Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF</h3>\n<p>The <b>Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF</b> (NASDAQ:VONG) tracks the <b>Russell 1000 Growth Index</b>. It includes 501 stocks from a variety of industries, including technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, and healthcare.</p>\n<p>Of all the ETFs on the list, this fund includes the highest number of stocks and provides the most diversification. A more diversified portfolio can limit your risk, because your money is spread across a greater number of stocks.</p>\n<p>Established in 2010, this fund does have the shortest track record of the ETFs on the list.

ETFs are also \"set it and forget it\" types of investments, and they perform best when you invest consistently and leave your money alone for as long as possible.\nGrowth ETFs are designed to include stocks with the potential for above-average returns, and they can be a fantastic option to supercharge your earnings. By investing in any of these three funds and holding them for as long as possible, you'll be on your way to generating long-term wealth.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Invesco QQQ ETF\nThe Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ) tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, meaning it includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq itself. Around half of the stocks in the fund are from tech companies, and some of the largest holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Tesla.\nBecause this fund contains largely tech stocks, it does carry more risk -- but also more room for reward. Tech companies can be more volatile than organizations in other industries, but they're also known for their exponential growth.\nOne advantage of this ETF is that it has a long track record. It was established in 1999, making it one of the oldest ETFs. Over the past 10 years, it's earned an average rate of return of nearly 20% per year. And since its inception in 1999, its average return is just over 9% per year.\n2. Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF\nThe Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF (NYSEMKT:SCHG) tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Growth Total Stock Market Index. It includes 234 stocks from large companies experiencing faster-than-average growth.\nBecause it contains a greater number of stocks, this fund provides more diversification than QQQ. Similar to QQQ, though, it's also focused primarily on the tech industry. Tech stocks make up nearly half of this fund's holdings, though it also includes stocks from a variety of other sectors, such as consumer discretionary, communication services, and healthcare.\nThis ETF was launched in 2009, so it doesn't have as long a history as some other ETFs. However, since its inception, it's earned an average rate of return of around 17% per year.\nConsidering we've been experiencing a phenomenal bull market over the past decade, that type of growth may not be sustainable over the next several decades. But because growth ETFs are designed to see above-average growth, this ETF may still earn substantial returns over time.\n3. Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF\nThe Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NASDAQ:VONG) tracks the Russell 1000 Growth Index. It includes 501 stocks from a variety of industries, including technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, and healthcare.\nOf all the ETFs on the list, this fund includes the highest number of stocks and provides the most diversification. A more diversified portfolio can limit your risk, because your money is spread across a greater number of stocks.\nEstablished in 2010, this fund does have the shortest track record of the ETFs on the list. Since its inception, though, it's earned an average return of more than 18% per year. Again, you may not experience returns quite this high over time, but you could still see above-average earnings.\nChoosing the right stocks is critical when investing, and ETFs can make it easier to reduce your risk while maximizing your earnings. By adding growth ETFs to your portfolio, you can generate wealth that lasts a lifetime.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":247,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176198780,"gmtCreate":1626869580340,"gmtModify":1633770285843,"author":{"id":"3562277733470235","authorId":"3562277733470235","name":"akshay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d58ba7a9e56bc9acc617bb8e92c637e8","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562277733470235","authorIdStr":"3562277733470235"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"wow","listText":"wow","text":"wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/176198780","repostId":"2153271610","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153271610","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1626867540,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2153271610?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-21 19:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Looking for Tech Stocks?

Lumen</h3>\n<p>Admittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CUBI\">Customers</a> cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as <b>T-Mobile</b>, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.</p>\n<p>Its stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.</p>\n<p>Struggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>of 1.3%.</p>\n<p>The company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.</p>\n<p>Although revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.</p>\n<h3>2. Qualcomm</h3>\n<p>Qualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.</p>\n<p>This 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/294b93f672edf72d1a786cf983d18a94.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>LUMN data by YCharts</p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">Verizon</a></h3>\n<p>Value investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and <b>AT&amp;T </b>to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PW\">Power</a> for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPB\">Spectrum</a> amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HMC\">Honda</a></b>'s self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STT\">State</a> University as examples of activities this service supports.</p>\n<p>Verizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic.&nbsp;This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.</p>\n<p>Such a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.</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>Looking for Tech Stocks?
